Occupy Albuquerque
Movement reps invite public to info forums by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu
Peace Studies professors in collaboration with Occupy Albuquerque protesters will hold teach-in sessions next week designed to give the community an idea of what Occupy Albuquerque stands for. Organizers held the first teach-in, “Intro to the Occupation,” on Tuesday. Desi Brown, who is pursuing a graduate degree in the Peace Studies program, helped coordinate the event. Brown said Peace Studies faculty were asked to help mediate talks between protestors and University administration last week, but he said the relationship between protesters and UNM officials fell apart when officials kicked protesters off campus at midnight Sunday. “They totally broke a trust that had been established in the mediation process,” he said. “There were understandings and compromises, the protesters held up their end of communication, but President Schmidly’s office did not.” Brown said the University made a renewed effort to accommodate the movement by allowing protesters to speak in the SUB. “The change isn’t going to happen overnight; it’s conversations like this that start that,” he said. “I’d like to see corporations held to ethical standards and institutions like this University
address social issues on campus and in the greater community.” Brown said UNM should make restroom facilities available for the homeless in the community and move away from the corporate structure the University has adopted, which he said has contributed to high tuition rates for students and low pay rates for employees.
“Our goal is to disorganize corporate America and to unite people for the revolution” ~Ruby Daunch protester Student Albert Guillen spoke at the teach-in and said student participation is imperative. “I feel as though it’s our responsibility to be here,” he said. “It’s important that we stay active in a system that doesn’t want us to stay active.” Anthropology professor Les Fields said the movement provides a unique educational opportunity. “It’s a teachable moment about how to communicate with those in power,” he said. “Those in power make

demands, they don’t listen to our requests, they tell us what to do. … And there is no way to hold them accountable, yet we get in trouble when we don’t do what they want.” UNM community member James Buchannan was one of about 60 people who gathered in the SUB for the teach-in on Tuesday and said he thinks the movement is all hype and no substance. “They have no clear goals,” he said. “They talked about nothing. There was a whole lot of talk of revolution and of a new social order and of how corporate America is evil, but when it comes down to it, it’s a bunch of hippies who want to camp on the grass outside UNM and feel like they are part of something bigger because they can’t be bothered to go to work for a living like normal people.” Protester Ruby Daunch said she thinks the movement is about uniting people rather than satisfying demands. “Our goal is to disorganize corporate America and to unite people for the revolution,” she said.
Occupy Albuquerque Teach-in forums next week Monday thru Friday SUB atrium 11:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Protesters plan to occupy banks At their general assembly meeting Tuesday, Occupy Albuquerque protesters planned additional off-campus protests for today and Saturday. The group plans to occupy four banks in four hours today, beginning with the Wells Fargo on Lomas Boulevard and 2nd Street at 11 a.m. “We don’t stand by or represent any political party,” one protestor said. “We will participate with them, but we are not a part of their agenda.” The group also plans to occupy banks on Saturday, beginning with the Wells Fargo on Central Avenue and Richmond Drive at 11 a.m., and plans to celebrate with a party on UNM campus following the protests.
Candidate for U.S. Senate speaks Andre Valdez, an activist and Albuquerque Democrat seeking election to the U.S. Senate, visited Occupy Albuquerque’s site at Yale Park to present his Vecinos Mondragon plan, a business model in which workers own the companies for which they work. “It’s economic democracy,” he said. “There is a cap on how much people can get paid, and profits go to continue to create business enterprises rather than profit corporate greed.” Valdez said if elected he will target issues such as police brutality, land grants, immigration and homelessness, and spoke about specific plans to address these problems. “I’m running for social justice, and that is what these people are protesting for,” he said. “For instance, with police oversight, victims of police brutality can sue in civil court, but I would criminalize some inappropriate police actions.” Valdez said unlike his Democratic counterparts, he will not accept corporate donations. “Hector Balderas and Martin Heinrich are accepting money from the corporations,” he said. “It’s very hard as a grassroots effort to raise money, but that is the right way to go about it, to ask for support from the people.”
Regents approve one-off bonus by Charlie Shipley
charlieshipley84@gmail.com
The Board of Regents ruled Tuesday that employees making less than $50,000 per year will be eligible for a bonus. Employees haven’t been eligible for a recurring pay raise in three years, and this year saw a 1.75 percent decrease in what they’re required to pay into their retirement funds. “(The bonus) is a fill-in for deductions in income over the last two budget cycles,” Regent Gene Gallegos said. To be eligible, employees must have been employed at UNM for the past two years without breaks. According to Board of Regents documents, full-time employees
are estimated to receive $950 each, but that number may change as the University works out the final details. Part-time employees will receive pro-rated bonuses based on how much time they put in at UNM per week. The bonuses will cost the University about $4 million, and will come from a reserve fund of nearly $4.9 million left over from a higherthan-anticipated year-end balance for fiscal year 2011. Regent President Jack Fortner said New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez opposes the bonuses, which could affect UNM in the upcoming legislative session. Martinez spoke out against the bonuses earlier this week, saying they mean different treatment for UNM employees and other state
workers. “The governor believes that the intent of the Legislature was clear and does not believe that some state employees should be exempted from contributing more to their retirement, while nearly all other state employees are being required to do so,” Martinez’s spokesman Scott Darnell told the Albuquerque Journal. UNM staff council president Mary Clark said she disagreed. “While we are state employees in some respects, while we do get certain state funding, the output of work we do benefits UNM,” she said. “We have this money, it’s been vetted across campus. I think it’s the right thing to do.”
of breast cancer who also volunteers to help other women with the disease. “It’s the cheeriness I can’t stand.” Activists have even coined a new word: Pinkwashing. They say pinkwashing is when a company or organization does a pink breast cancer promotion, but at the same time sells and profits from pink-theme products. Some of the pink products have generated plenty of discussion among breast cancer advocates. A Smith & Wesson 9mm handgun with pink pistol grip? The
manufacturer says a “portion of the proceeds will be donated to a breast cancer awareness charity.” You can get the “Pink Ribbon Combo” at Jersey Mike’s Subs, or the Sephora Collection pink eyelash curler.

PITTSBURGH — The country is awash in pink for breast cancer awareness month — and some women are sick of it. While no one is questioning the need to fight the deadly disease, some breast cancer advocates are starting to ask whether one of the most successful charity campaigns in recent history has lost its focus. “The pink drives me nuts,” said Cynthia Ryan, an 18-year survivor

Career Paths A weekly peek at unique niches
by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu
Former UNM student Geoff St. John gets paid to play music all day long. “Music is something that I’ve enjoyed, and that people have enjoyed listening to me make, all my life,” he said. “I feel like being a musician was somewhat predestined.” St. John began playing piano at age 3 and since then has pursued everything from clarinet to vocals, he said. He studied composition for one year at UNM’s Department of Music after graduating from Highland high school in 2009, but said he stopped attending partly for personal reasons, and partly to pursue a musical career. “The education (at UNM) was useful to some degree,” he said. “It was rigorous; it was very, very busy and there were tons and tons of pressures.” St. John said he wants to pursue music that a traditional university education may not sufficiently nourish. “Classical music doesn’t really interest me anymore,” he said.
“I’m not interested in making a career out of it and I don’t feel like it’s very viable today. … I’m a lot more interested in popular music.” St. John is a vocalist and keyboard player for “The Breaktone,” a local band that is looking to record a professional level EP (extended play) for release in the next few months. He said his time away from the University has been spent developing his skills and honing his personal style. “It’s been more personal development,” he said. “It’s given me perspective on my life, and I am getting better at synthesizing all of that into an artistic product. Music is a universal language understood hundreds of years in the future and halfway around the world. You can understand what people are saying through their instruments.” St. John said he makes about $1,500 a month playing music at various venues. “I am an accompanist at the Kirtland Air Force Base chapel,” he said. “I play for Catholic and Protestant services there. I do

GetEQUAL, a grassroots organization that works to change anti-LGBTQ sentiments, protested Chick-fil-A on campus outside the bookstore on Tuesday. The organization said Chick-fil-A supports an anti-LGBTQ agenda and funds organizations opposed to gay rights. Chick-fil-A’s corporate office released a formal statement in response to the group’s accusations. “At Chick-fil-A, we have a genuine commitment to hospitality for

saying all such products are bad. She said there’s no doubt that when the pink ribbon campaigns started about 20 years ago there was still a great need to raise awareness. “At one time, pink was the means,” Jaggar said. “Now, it’s almost become the end in itself. In its most simplistic forms, pink has become a distraction. You put a pink ribbon on it, people stop asking questions.” Breast cancer activists agree that the use of a ribbon to promote awareness evolved in stages. They note that in 1979 there were yellow ribbons for the American hostages in Iran; in 1990 AIDS activists used red ribbons to call attention to victims of that disease; and 1991 saw the first major use of

the pink ribbon, when the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation gave them out at a New York City race for cancer survivors. But the ribbon symbol may tie into a far older tradition, according to the American Folk Life Center at the Library of Congress. It notes that various versions of the song “Round Her Neck She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” have been popular for 400 years, all with the theme of displaying the ribbon for an absent loved one. It’s clear that too many loved ones are still lost to the disease, despite many advances in diagnosis and treatment. The National Cancer Institute estimates that about 40,000 women will die of breast cancer this year, and 230,000 new cases will be diagnosed.

Graduation workshop an unnecessary hassle Editor, After a long, frustrating day, my husband asked me, “How was the graduation workshop today?” “In a nutshell, it was expensive, time-consuming and unnecessary,” I replied. I left this 16-minute “graduation workshop” at the A&S department feeling pretty !*&^n’ peeved. It all began about a month ago when I noticed a new hold on my LoboWeb page that instructed me to contact the college and arrange to attend a mandatory group workshop on campus. My first thought was to ask if I could fulfill the workshop requirements via telephone or web because it takes me an hour to get to main campus and because I have to arrange for extra elder care for my 94-year-old mother-in-law. The answer was “no,” and so I arranged to attend the mandatory workshop, otherwise I would be unable to register for classes. On the appointed day I greeted and oriented the elder care “sitter” and left my home an hour and a half before the workshop because they warned that if you are five minutes late then you have to reschedule — I didn’t want to take that chance! I needed to fill up at the gas station first at $3.30 per gallon. I am very conservative and conscious about gas usage and always try to plan driving trips to “kill two birds.” I never go to main campus, so I don’t have a parking permit. I did not know what to expect in terms of parking availability, but I found a meter and paid for two hours at $1.75 per hour. I paid for two hours because I expected that a mandatory (i.e. “big deal”) workshop for graduation would last at least an hour! I had also contracted with the elder care person for four hours that day at $12 per hour (two hours driving + one and a half hours negotiating main campus + .5 hours of time to orientate the sitter). I was ready for something substantial to happen, apparently — ha, what a joke (an expensive joke)! Okay, so I arranged the elder care, got gas, found a parking meter and walked to Mesa Vista Hall, arriving 15 minutes before my workshop appointment. I phoned the sitter — all is well — and waited in the A&S waiting room. The workshop started a little late, but finally the group of about 10 students was called in to a little room that had a projector set up and an adviser present. She introduced herself briefly, distributed a sign-in sheet, a one-page handout, and fired up the first overhead slide. She instructed the group to refer to the LOBO Trax audit reports that we had been instructed to bring with us and transfer numbers from each section of the report to the onepage handout. She conveyed the information on the PowerPoint slides as to how to locate and transfer various numbers from LOBO Trax audit to the handout for a total of 11 numbers. The first task was to locate the outstanding hours for the core requirements and fill in Box 1. Finally, after filling in all 12 boxes with numbers from the audit report, the adviser apologized for the math involved in adding up the last 4 numbers to determine how many hours we need in order to graduate. Right before she dismissed us, she said, “If you have any questions, make an appointment with your adviser.” Why can’t the PowerPoint presentation be available over the Internet with a PDF file with the boxes available for download? If A&S thinks it necessary, a video of the adviser going through this short exercise could augment the PowerPoint and PDF file. Argh! It would have saved me $58 and would have saved the environment an unnecessary injection of CO2 emissions. Rubie Gayle Kinsey UNM student

Politicians have failed, the people must participate and be loud Editor, There is a movement spreading across America. People from completely different political ideologies are coming together to stop the thievery and piracy of the wealthiest 1 percent. The financial lords are destroying our economy, political system and democracy. One of the direct results of this is the destruction of our public education system. Across the nation people are demanding a clear separation between corporations and elected officials. Accountability is at the top of the list because people are tired of politicians asking for votes during campaigns but responding only to the needs of the wealthiest few once they are elected. Americans have realized that stepping back and letting politicians figure out our future presents a great risk, and it can no longer be the modus operandi. If they are not going to ask what we want, we have to be loud. Very loud. The same lack of accountability occurs in our University. There is a growing demand for more openness and participation in the decision-making process from those working and studying at UNM and those in charge of managing it. Similar to Puerto Rico in the national congress, we have a voice but no vote on what the institution does. Even though it is public and it belongs to all the taxpayers of New Mexico, it is up to the governor to appoint regents and up to the regents to pick a UNM president. Furthermore, regents decide when and how we suffer the consequences of budget cuts, but we cannot vote to give less of our money. Following the national trend in universities, UNM is run more and more like a corporation, where the board of directors sees us as clients instead of stakeholders. This lack of effective public participation must end.

There is an ongoing, long-term erosion of faculty and staff benefits. The enormous dimension of the erosion is hard to see because it has been happening for many years and most people spend only a few years at the institution. However, it takes a little research to realize that, bit by bit, the University has lowered the quality of education for students and reduced the benefits and increased the workload for faculty and staff. The financial crisis leads to fewer tax revenues and therefore a budget crisis at UNM. So, yes, the nationaleconomiccrisisistoblame, however the mismanagement and greed of our administrators is putting the entire burden on the students and employees and not on the administration itself. There is also clear stagnation in benefits for graduate students, yet their workload has increased. There is no parity in financial resources and benefits between departments. The number of tenure-track faculty has been stagnant for 10 years. There has been an increase in flex-track and part-time faculty; a cutback on retirement benefits; no wage growth for faculty, staff, and grads; and cuts in subsidized loans. Tuition is three times as high as it was 30 years ago (taking inflation into account): $30/credit hour in 1981 versus $242-265 in 2011, depending on whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student. Thus, the quality of education is suffering, working conditions are growing worse and the top administration is enjoying fat salaries and zero accountability. We’ve seen institutions across the nation cut costs by slashing funds for everyone except those at the top. We demand accountably. We demand the elite tighten their belts. We are reaching our limits; public administrators are our employees and must serve us or step down. Sebastian Pais UNM alumnus
‘Occupy’ protesters hinder UNM’s academic mission, violate rights Editor’s note: This letter is in reference to the letter, “UNM’s actions violate First Amendment rights” by Don McIver published in Tuesday’s issue of the Daily Lobo. Editor, I was furious to read this letter, not so much because it supported the protesters, but because Mr. McIver made some fairly thoughtless assertions about the institution of UNM and its responsibilities. Mr. McIver is listed as “visiting faculty.” I hope to God that doesn’t mean he’s a teacher. First, looking through the requirements, mission and other literature about UNM, I get the sense that the goal of the institution is to educate; nowhere do I see anything, read anything, nor was I told at orientation that being a UNM student required tolerating activism or protesters on campus. UNM is not a springboard or a foundation for activism — it is a college with the fundamental mission of educating its student body. I know that the activists feel that it is in their rights to occupy the campus and that the campus is indeed public. I can understand that, but I also understand when people are exploiting their rights and using the First Amendment as an excuse to occupy and intimidate just to get their point across. As far as the protesters’ rights, as usual activists have leapt into a protest situation in which their presence, initially allowed, is wearing out its welcome … Then, like clockwork, the protesters shake off their impression of the First Amendment and wave it like a banner for the ‘injustice’ that is happening to them. But the Constitution is not the only American document that regards the
rights of its citizens. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 guarantees a right for all citizens to receive an education without intimidation or harassment. If I disagree with the protest, and if the protesters refuse to leave, isn’t that a violation of my rights to an undisturbed education? McIver suggests that vacating the activists at midnight was a covert move, but let me ask this: Is it preferred that they are vacated when there are lots of people around to make noise and perhaps attempt, either orally or physically, to prevent the removal of the protesters? Is it preferable to Mr. McIver that there is a conflict, or perhaps even civil disorder or violence? It seems, then, that in their complaint, it is the protesters that seek conflict, not the UNM police. In the letter, Mr. McIver writes, “If you don’t want people defecating on the lawn, put up a Port-a-Pot … put up those nice, neat Lobo tents … .” Is McIver suggesting that UNM facilitate a protest they did not provoke, incite or invite to the campus?! Balderdash! Outrage! Boycott the protesters! Further, Mr. McIver states, “You (UNM) either support the protesters or support the banks.” That is complete hogwash, and inane to even suggest that UNM is required to take sides on the issue. Really, Mr. McIver? REALLY?! Lest we all forget, the University of New Mexico is an educational institution and the students are indeed here to learn, not to hang around and listen to lame, squatting protesters. If they want to get their point across, they should try a different method of communication, rather than hold sections of the University hostage. Jason A. Graves UNM student

Author’s ‘altar’ keeps late mother’s memory alive by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street, is constructing an altar at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in memory of her mother, Elvira “Vera” Cisneros. The altar is a recreation of her mother’s room, one of her mother’s favorite escapes, Cisneros said. She said her mother wasn’t happy with her roles as a mother and grandmother and instead focused more on who she was as an individual. “Just looking at the things, to me, the objects that I chose and the arrangement of them and the colors will be like reading a book,” she said. “You will get a snapshot of who this person is just by looking at her clothes, her jewelry, her heritage.” The room is a symbol not only of her mother finding solace in solitude, but when Cisneros was in the hospital room when her mother died, she said she saw a side of her mother she had never seen. “I think every death is different,” she said. “I was expecting something really strong. My mother was this strong,
opinionated, angry, feisty, cabrona woman. She’d take no prisoners and she’d speak her mind, she didn’t care if she hurt your feelings, she was like a dragon lady. I expected that energy when she died, and she was like a little lamb, she was sweet and tender.” A year ago, Cisneros created a similar altar dedicated to her mother at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago. Cesáreo Moreno, chief curator at the Chicago museum, said the piece was an ofrenda, a MexicanAmerican piece of art that is similar to an altar. “An ofrenda is more of an offering, paying homage to a person, paying homage to ... an idea in Mexican American culture,” he said. He had asked her a few years prior to install one for the museum’s annual Day of the Dead exhibition, but he said she told him that she
was not quite ready for that step in the grieving process. “So, finally, when she did say she was ready, I knew that the ofrenda for her was part of this process, her coming to terms with the loss of her mother, and at that point it was her father as well,” Moreno said. “Most ofrendas are a way of keeping somebody very important alive in their life.” It will not be an exact replica of the first ofrenda, though she said she is not sure what will change about it. These changes will reflect the ways in which her impression of her mother as an individual has developed since her death in 2007, Cisneros said. “Because I’m a writer, there’s a lot of text, writing on glass, the wall, the headboard,” she said. “For me, as a writer, it’s always an exploration, an examination of people that are
close to me, that I care about. In exploring them, I kind of figure out how my mother became who she was.” Cisneros said she has not planned specifically what she will write. The process will likely be spontaneous, with her writing down impressions of the experience of whatever comes to mind while she constructs the altar, she said. For the opening on Saturday, Cisneros will read her new essay, “An Ofrenda for My Mother,” which appeared in Granta, a U.K. literary magazine. Cisneros said it describes the grieving process and the role the creative process plays in facilitating illumination.

Local comedians find venues in small market by Antonio Sanchez
sanchezantonio24@gmail.com
The local comedy scene is a joke, or maybe it’s a little more than that, according to the city’s comics. Goldie Garcia, a stand-up comedian of 30 years, said she made her start in Albuquerque in 1980. “I don’t understand why Albuquerque people don’t support comedy,” Garcia said. After whetting her comedic appetite in New Mexico, Garcia moved to Boston and performed along the East Coast for 10 years. She caught a break and went to Los Angeles to write and perform before returning to Albuquerque in 1991. “It takes a decade at least for comics to become a real comic,” Garcia said. “At least a decade to really go and hit the road, learn the jokes — there’s all these invisible
rules. Like, every subject you study has their terminology and their social graces and protocol.” As one of the city’s only Latina comedians, Garcia said she doubts comedy will ever take off in Albuquerque due to a lack of local support. “The people here are very closedminded about it,” Garcia said. “I have over and over asked people, and the first thing they always say is ‘Do you do clean material?’ What is with the people here thinking all the comics are dirty? They don’t give us a chance.” While times may be tough for Garcia, she said she remains hopeful. “I have to make the best of it, and I do,” she said. “I’m still doing comedy, trying to take comedy off of the ground … We don’t have a comedy club, but we do have Stephen Hunt
putting some really good shows on.” Stephen “HAHA” Hunt, “HAHA” standing for “Humor Appreciation and Healthy Application,” has been a comedian for the past six years. The value of comedy extends beyond entertainment, Hunt said. “Way back in 1997, my goal became achieving world peace one laugh at a time,” Hunt said. “Then I decided, well, world peace, I don’t know if that’s an achievable goal; but individual peace, you and I, if we’re at peace, that’s one step toward the big picture.” A member of the American Association for Therapeutic Humor, Hunt published “Tickling the World” in 1997, a children’s educational book about the benefits of laughter. “Laughter can boost your immune system, boost your metabolism, helps you solve problems, it’s just incredible,” he said. “Laughter
and health just go hand-in-hand.” Hunt said he applies his love of laughter to performing and promoting local comedy throughout Albuquerque. He founded “Best Live Comedy,” a show held at the Salsa-Baby dance studio, to promote high-profile as well as upand-coming local comedians. “‘Best Live Comedy’ really came to me because more and more audience members kept telling me that I always put on the best live comedy they’d seen in Albuquerque,” he said. Albuquerque comedian Andrew Harms said he thrives in the city’s comedy scene because he enjoys performing smaller shows. “There are opportunities to perform, a few every week,” Harms said. “I definitely appreciate every show that I get to do. I don’t take it for granted.”
With little more than a year under his belt, Harms, 20, said his humble nature is reflected in his stand-up act. His honesty is in step with each observation-based joke he delivers. “My goal is to maybe do some shows in different cities, and do longer sets. Been doing a lot of 10-minute, five-minute sets,” Harms said. “Also, I want to host the Oscars.”

New Mexico Daily Lobo
Free-of-charge fall break ideas by Alexandra Swanberg culture@dailylobo.com
Editor’s Note: To better serve the University community as it faces a glorious mini-vacation, the Daily Lobo has compiled a list of ways to deviate from your usual methods of whiling away spare time. Sure, you could tell yourself you’ll do homework and catch up on cleaning, but why set expectations for yourself at the risk of feeling guilty about it later when you’ve failed to follow through? We all know what we should do, but here are some interesting options for what you could do:
Thrill-seekers Vacation for some college students means throwing caution to the wind and embracing bodily harm in its many forms. Since you’ve only got two days tagged onto your weekend, you’ll have to distill the typical roughhousing. Come nightfall, let the Lead Avenue construction area be your playground* — an adult-sized sandbox, complete with giant trucks. Perhaps a game of tag, with or without reflective vests depending on how far you want to go with it. Be wary of mixing recreation with heavy machinery.
Complete a Lo Mejor survey at www.dailylobo.com, and you will beentered to win a pair of tickets to see Chris Brown in concert! One entry per person. Winners will be announced Monday, October 17, 2011. Tickets courtesy of Live Nation.

Even with a few days free from the pressing burden of school and work obligations, it doesn’t seem like a long enough time to fully unplug from the machine. Desperate for an escape, you shrink in the shadows of your newfound freedom — surely you’ll lose your mind if you don’t take advantage of this respite! Turns out, you don’t even have to leave the city to escape it. Venture along the Rio Grande, and bring some gloves
Creative-thinkers and manual-laborers Whether or not you’re an artist, fall break is a prime window of time to do something crafty. If arts and crafts were never your forte, start with this beginner-level project that’s perfect for Halloween: Paper-mâché masks! Take a sheet of aluminum foil, tear off a length twice that of your face, fold it in half and gently press to the contours of your face. Cushion the mold against your work surface by balling up crumpled paper within it. Tear newspaper in strips about 1-2 inches wide and 4-8 inches long (don’t use this one until you’ve finished these instructions!) depending on your head size. You’ll need to soak the strips in liquid paste, like wheat paste. There are several recipes online, but if you don’t have Internet access, you can simply mix water with enough flour in portions appropriate for a glue-like viscosity. Layer the damp strips onto the mold — you will want to do four to five layers — allowing at least 12 hours of dry time. You can add features, horns, warts and the like by forming them out of wads of newspaper soaked in paste. After you’ve shaped and placed them on the mold, put a layer or two of strips over the features to smooth over any unwanted ripples. Let these thicker features dry a full 24 hours before applying additional paper-mâché. Let dry for an additional 24 hours, then paint it, Mod Podge a collage onto it, or adorn as you see fit. *Editor’s note: This column is strictly for entertainment purposes. Don’t run around on construction sites as it could get you arrested and/or hurt.

BRAIN INJURY STUDY to start in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The University of New Mexico is participating in the ProTECT III trial – a National Institutes of Health sponsored research study that is testing if an intravenous infusion of progesterone can improve the outcome of someone who has suffered from a serious traumatic brain injury (TBI). “At present, we don’t have an effective drug treatment to protect the brain from damage caused by a TBI. There is evidence that progesterone might help,” said Howard Yonas, MD, chair for the Department of Neurosurgery at UNM. Because progesterone has been found to be most effective when given as soon as possible within four hours from the time of the traumatic brain injury, some patients may be enrolled in the study under special FDA rules known as “Exception from Informed Consent” (EFIC). These special rules allow research studies in certain emergency situations to be conducted without consent. EFIC can only be used when: • The person’s life is at risk, • Existing treatments don’t work, • The study might help the person, • It is not possible to get permission from the person because of his or her medical condition or from the person’s guardian because there is a very short amount of time required to treat the medical problem. While previous studies have shown giving progesterone as early as possible after a TBI may protect the brain from damage, researchers stress there is no guarantee of benefit. Possible side effects include redness or inflammation at the IV site; blood clots, some serious or even fatal, and reduced resistance to infection, while receiving the study drug infusion. Participants will be monitored for all side effects and treated as needed. Enrollment at UNMH is expected to start in late November and will continue until approximately December of 2014. Study participants will have suffered a serious brain injury, be at least 18 years of age, and meet eligibility criteria. Women who have a positive pregnancy test will not be enrolled in the trial. ProTECT participants will receive either a standard IV solution (placebo) or IV progesterone solution for up to 96 hours. Blood samples will also be taken to help predict how bad a patient’s head injury is and how well they will recover. Participants will receive all other standards of care for their injuries. The paramedics will notify the study staff of the patient’s injury and estimated arrival time and the study staff will meet the patient in the emergency department at UNM. If the patient is a candidate for ProTECT, attempts will be made to contact their legal guardian to obtain written consent. If after an hour of searching for a legal guardian, and one cannot be found the patient will be enrolled without consent. Once the legal guardian is located, they will be asked to give their permission for the patient to continue in the study. For more information about ProTECT, visit the local ProTECT website at: http://www.protect.aemrc.arizona. edu/ or the National website at www.protectiii.com Participants may withdraw from the study at any time with no disruption in care. PRE-MED ORGANIZATION meeting 6pm Wednesday 10/12 in the Kiva. Tips/ Info on medical school acceptance with Dr. Robert Sapien.
