HR to audit eligibility of insurance dependents by Ruben Hamming-Green rhamminggreen@gmail.com
Robert Maes / Daily Lobo Kevin French, a “Zebra,” gives the OK for two hot air balloons to ascend Sunday at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The Zebra Crew serves as ground control for more than 600 balloons during the weeklong event.

It’s the largest North American event of its kind, and more than 25 million photos are shot each year, making it as the most photographed event in the world, according to Kodak. Yet many UNM students have mixed feelings about the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Some said it’s a crowded, expensive hassle which they plan to view from their rooftops, but others are still enthusiastic about waking to the balloon-blotted morning skyline.

UNM Human Resources is requiring all employees with department health insurance to complete audits verifying dependents’ eligibility on their plan. HR Vice President Helen Gonzales said this is a first for her department. She said in a letter to employees that medical costs have risen 104 percent since 2000. “The University is protecting the solvency of the medical plan and its employees from unnecessary increases in the cost of health care,” she said. “A dependent eligibility audit is the best way to ensure that University funds are only supporting eligible employees and their dependents.” Gonzales said an estimated 3-8 percent of listed dependents are ineligible for coverage. She said each dependent costs the University about $3,000 per year. “The financial impact of these ineligible dependents is significant,” Gonzales said. “It has been estimated that UNM will save approximately $500,000.” Gonzales said that the audit is the latest step in HR’s attempt to keep health insurance premiums low. “For the last three years, we’ve only had to increase employee premiums by an average of 2 percent,” Gonzales said. “This contrasts with a national average of almost 10 percent.” Gonzales said employees who do not fill out the audit form by the Oct. 26 deadline or who enter inaccurate or incomplete information will have their dependents dropped from their health insurance plans, even if they were eligible. She said employees have been notified about the mandatory audit through e-mails, letters sent to home addresses and by department heads. In addition to the questionnaire, some employees may have to submit birth or marriage certificates and federal tax returns, Gonzales said. Faculty Senate member Gautam Vora, who filled out the forms for his wife and sons, said the audit was complicated. “The instruction sheet was not exactly comprehensive, and so during the survey much more information was asked,” Vora said. “One had to struggle to get it. It wanted a large amount of information that a lot of people might actually forget, such as the time and the place of marriage, especially when there are multiple marriages one might get easily confused.” Vora said HR shouldn’t just drop people haphazardly. “I hope our HR department (will do) some homework before it drops anyone automatically, so that employees, who for one reason or another, who didn’t get the chance, who didn’t fill out the information completely and correctly, get some notice before action is taken,” he said. Steven Yourstone, another Faculty Senate member who had one listed dependent, said the questionnaire was easy. “It was pretty simple and quick,” he said.

Handmade masks hang from the shelves at Birdland. Owned by Jay Steinberg, the store is inspired by the businessman’s love of the Grateful Dead. Laurisa Galvan / Daily Lobo
Birdland incubates nostalgia aswanny@unm.edu
Since 1994, Birdland and has been “Gratefully Deadicated” to providing unique, quality products for anyone nostalgic about the 60s. Store owner Jay Steinberg said he wanted to start a business that embodied the music he grew up with. He began by selling merchandise at Grateful Dead concerts, then started a business called Stone Mountain with his brother. Steinberg then branched away from his brother and opened his own Albuquerque-based store. “I’ve been a fan of the Grateful Dead for coming close to 40 years,” he said. “It was always in the back of my mind to incorporate my love of the music into a business.” Steinberg said the name of the store, Birdland, is based on the nicknames his mother called him when he was young: Birdman and Birdie Boy. Since it was established, Steinberg said he strived to give customers a taste of his era while accommodating the newer music subcultures, like the rave scene. “It’s not Grateful Dead all over the place,” he said. “I try to keep hippie things hanging all over the place.” Annie Munsell, a customer, said the shop’s atmosphere gels with her experiences in the 70s. “This one’s unique in that you can buy things you can’t get anywhere else,” she said. “I come for entertainment. They’re very cool people. It takes you back to your childhood. I graduated high school in the 70s, so this is my time, man, still there.” The store boasts a primo glass shop, with pieces that cost thousands of dollars, as well a selection of

groovy masks. Steinberg said that he despises the low-quality, low-price Wal-Mart mentality and instead offers the best products he can find. “I buy beautiful, hand-blown, artistic things,” he said. “We’ve got gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous glass in there. I do everything that way. My glass, my masks. The masks are all handmade, made in Arabia, Italy.” Michael Kmenta, an employee, said he shares Steinberg’s admiration for glass. “I love the glass. We don’t import any of our glass,” he said. “The majority of it is New Mexico blown. One of our best artists is from the East Mountains, actually. All of our pieces are one of a kind.” Steinberg said he fosters an interactive, customer-based attitude in his store. “If I wanted to be big, I would’ve stayed in business with my brother, but it’s not my personality,” he said. “That old time mom-and-Pop shop is something I’ve always wanted to keep alive. I want to be that old man you’ve got to wake up to ring up your sale when I’m 70.” Keith Brown, an employee, said he picked up on this vibe when he was a regular customer. “You go into other piercing shops and there are all these things you aren’t supposed to do, where we’ll try and help people rather than tell them what to do or make them do something,” he said. Christine Romero, a customer, said Birdland is a rare gem among other local smoke shops. “The owner — he’s awesome,” she said. “Just the environment of the store, I love it. It’s very original. I’d say it’s one of the only stores like this in Albuquerque.” Steinberg said he expects

Birdland to be in business for years to come. “I’ve lived in bigger cities, and this one has one of the most genuine hippie communities I’ve ever seen,” he said. “I mean, active, working hippies, not the rainbow hippies people usually imagine. … I hope I’m a good role model for the young hippies coming up, like, ‘Hey, here’s a guy who actually makes a living; he’s owned a business for a lot of years. He parties like a wild man, and he’s got his you-know-what together.’”

Letter UNM may waste less water, but it still wastes water Editor, The Daily Lobo piece, “PPD: We are not ‘water wasters,” implies that UNM’s water use need not be scrutinized by environmentally conscious people. In fact, UNM’s thirst has decreased over the last 20 years, so we should be celebrating, right? I think we should postpone the party for the moment and try to address water consumption through a different lens. It is a common tactic of any lobbyist or proponent of something to ameliorate the perception of his/her own cause by citing improvement. How can it be criticized if it is improving, trying to be better? This would be like saying that the War in Afghanistan progressed positively from August to September 2010, killing 59 NATO troops in September — 20 fewer than the 79 dead in August. Fifty-nine dead — what an improvement. The first impression I got from the piece is that UNM wastes less water than it was wasting in 1993. Therefore, a high-desert campus’ water consumption should not be a concern. Next was an unfortunate quote from Bruce Milne, the director of Sustainability Studies Program. Without the provided label, one might think he is the director of recruitment or perhaps the business school. Of course, we all know why UNM is heavily watered: to attract students by constructing an oasis in the middle of an arid climate. I admit it probably is a good recruitment tool, but it is unsettling to hear this from someone leading the charge of sustainability on campus. I am tired of seeing water-saturated grass areas overflowing onto sidewalks and sprinklers spraying ineffectively. Also, as a bright point in the piece suggested, there seems to be insufficient communication or action when considering the rain. When it rains all day and stops in the evening, someone needs to get the message to shut off the sprinklers for the night. This excessive and inefficient water use problem is not unique to UNM. All of Albuquerque lives in a dream world where water seems to regenerate at an equal rate to our residents’ consumption. This is not the case. UNM has a chance to become a symbol of progress and environmental consciousness by seriously addressing water issues now. The alternative is to ignore water use and contribute to a premature world battle for water rights. Kevin Marsh UNM alumnus

Students have no reason not to vote
“ It’s cool, but I wonder if it works. ”
by Jenny Gignac Opinion Editor
Every day, I walk past the Duck Pond on the way to Dane Smith, and I see the table. There I see students with the marker-drawn signs pumping people up about voting, and the token, sandwich-board-wearing guy inviting people to follow him to the table and register. It’s cool, but I wonder if it works.
According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement’s website, America enjoyed a 3.4 million increase of 18-29-year-old voters in the 2008 presidential election. In 2004, 18-29-year-old voters turned out in record numbers, after a historically declining trend. CIRCLE speculates that Sept. 11 attacks led to the spike in numbers. Do we need high-casualty terrorist attacks to encourage young voters? Do we have to have that kind of patriotic motivation to perform our democratic duty? “Young Voters in the 2008 Election,” an article by the Pew Research Center, reported that 45 percent of the young people in 2008 voted for the Democratic Party, compared to 29 percent for the Republican Party. This split was nearly even in 2000. “Young voters are more diverse racially and ethnically than older voters and more secular in their religious orientation,” the article reads. “These characteristics, as well as the climate in which they have come of age politically, incline
them not only toward Democratic Party affiliation, but also toward greater support of activist government, greater opposition to the war in Iraq, less social conservatism and a greater willingness to describe themselves as liberal politically.” Why such diversity in the youth vote? It’s because young people listen to the issues, while my parents vote democrat because they have always done that. That exposure is easy to generate in a college environment, and in that environment, it’s even easier to vote. More polling stations are set up closer to campuses; more absent ballot voting options are available, and if students want information on voting centers, or want to register, they probably have an oncampus, sandwich-board-wearing guy they can follow. The young vote is important for many reasons, and it’s been effective in recent elections. Your vote counts, and voting works — so just do it.
UNM run by ‘Enron ethics’ by James Burbank
Daily Lobo Guest Columnist A few years ago, a colleague and I were going to write a book about teaching. It was his philosophy that a teacher was nothing more that a “site,” a sort of empty space in the classroom. In fact, his idea that teachers are about as worthless as space seems to be a predominant ethic on campus, where professors, learning and the University appear to be about as deserving of respect as chunks of beetle dung. That’s sure not the case in Japan, where students bow to their teachers. The students even prepare meals for their instructors, and they clean up and take care of the school buildings. Japan spends slightly more than 3 percent of GDP on education, while, in contrast, the U.S. spends 5 percent. Yet the Japanese continue to outrank us by far in terms of educational achievement. I’m not so sure about the bowing business, but just traveling around our campus shows a lot about what many students think of teachers and the school where higher learning takes place. Hoards of skateboarders and trick bicyclists stalk pedestrians on their way to class, heedless of the danger they pose others and the terrifying effect they have on hapless walkers who cringe as they zip in and out of the crowds. Graffiti, costing the University tens of thousands of dollars to remove, appears every day on the walls, in the bathrooms, even on the ceilings, in the stairways, the windows and elevators. Smokers willfully disobey the
tobacco-free policy that limits them to designated areas on campus. And who is responsible for politely informing these folks to please go to their assigned areas? Professors, of course, and how do many of these smokers respond? “F**k you, -sshole. Mind your own Gdamn business,” one said to me recently, as I reminded him that he needed to go to a designated area to smoke. I am one of the few who bothers enforcing this nonexistent rule, a rule that asks teachers to enforce it, but offers no authority to make the policy stick. Most professors never bother to call the attention of these folks to this toothless but crucial policy — I guess because they have become too intimidated by these rude and even threatening students who defy the tobacco-free rule and every other campus guideline that seem now just laughing stocks held up to contempt and ridicule. What is behind such behavior that so disrespects the campus and those who teach and who learn here? I would argue that these are examples of what I call “Enron ethics,” a kind of overwhelming narcissism, a self-centeredness that bristles with imaginary rights and privileges and that threatens to subsume us in this extremely challenging time. Yet it’s not really these irritating students who are the focus of my musings: The students learn from adults. When the University is viewed as just another state institution to be exploited by rampant cronyism, when successive waves of budget rescissions and financial “harvesting” are visited on our academic departments, then we see how compromised the mission of our public University has become.
When those with huge salaries sacrifice nothing, and a coach who makes more money than even the president is accused of physically and emotionally abusing his colleague, a staff member and a student, when our resources are siphoned away for reasons that have nothing to do with teaching, learning or research, then we see how cheapened education and teaching have become. It is egocentrism gone wild, the kind of ethics that led to Enron’s downfall and really to the precipitous downturn in our economic fortunes. It’s the narcissistic ethics of a Jeff Skilling or a Bernard Madoff that have come to dominate our campus, our state’s affairs and the affairs of a nation. How is it that this nation financially bails out powerful banks, yet refrains from taxing the big guy, as millions lose homes, jobs, security and their peace of mind? America was founded on respect — respectful disagreement perhaps, but respect nonetheless. It is what separates us from places where the rule of force dominates instead of government by consent. Respect is a trait we need to engage if we are to survive as a nation, and it can begin here on this campus. Maybe not with bows, but in the way we regard one another, how we respect learning, teaching and this place where these great and important activities take place.

Beyond books to real, live authors by Gianna May
giannaMMay@gmail.com Seldom do people meet the authors of books they read. UNM professor Celia LopezChavez teaches an honors class called The Legacy of Writing: Voices, Words and Flavors of New Mexico. She said hearing from authors is valuable for young writers. “The students have a firsthand experience in the whole development of writing text, from the beginning to the end,� she said. “The most important part of this course is that the students have a chance to meet the authors.� So far, three New Mexican authors have visited the class, each specializing in different forms of writing. These presentations are open to the public and will continue throughout the semester. Pat Mora, a bilingual children’s book author who has written more than 40 books about culture and tradition and language, will speak to the class Thursday. After the
presentation, Mora will sign books at the UNM Bookstore, and people will have an opportunity to talk to her. Mora said she’s looking forward to her visit. “Speaking to others gives me energy for my writing,� she said. “One of my favorite parts of speaking to any audience is having the opportunity to hear their questions. I am always fascinated by questions other people will have.� Mora said increasing literacy in the United States is most important. “We need to be a country of readers,� she said. “Literature connects us, forms us and entertains us. I love words so much that I want all of the next generation to be active readers.� That’s why, Mora said, she gives class presentations. “I hope that when people listen to writers, they can become inspired. We all need a creative outlet. We all need to nurture our creative life,� she said. “I hope that when people listen to me chat about my work, they will be a little bit more convinced to invest in themselves.�

Hoodie: $15, Target Shirt: Thrift Store in Oregon, $5 Skirt: Wet Seal, $10 Shoes: $20, Rocket Dog “You should find something that fits you well. It’s important to accentuate the parts of you that are the most unique.” Alya said she derives a lot of her fashion from her sister because she’s inherited a lot of clothes from her older siblings. However, their sizes are different, so she favors a trimmer look that plays up her shape. She particularly loves her shoe style — she has the strapped shoe in three different models — and the shoe’s bone color has proved wear doesn’t kill clothing.
Douglas Douglas Gonzales, Economics, Junior
Shirt: Buffalo Exchange, $6 Pants: Buffalo Exchange, $10 Shoes: Mall, $30
“I tend to shop pretty cheap.” Douglas said he likes his fashion to be inexpensive. He said he also cuts his own hair because no one else has been able to get it right so far. Even better, it saves him a bit of cash, which is always a good thing. He said he sells plenty of clothing at Buffalo Exchange, but a few pieces, like his favorite shirts, will never leave his wardrobe.
