for college students, and that he wants to see Congress pass the plan. “It is important that we take action now to strengthen our economy, so that current and graduating college students can succeed in finding jobs and building successful careers,” he said. “Students who have worked so hard in the classroom deserve the opportunity to get ahead.” U.S. Congressman Steve Pearce (R-NM) said the plan only provides more spending and stimulus, which he said won’t help unemployment in the long run. “It is time for the administration to accept that we cannot spend our way to economic recovery,” he said. “This administration has promised 13 million jobs through the stimulus plan, green energy policies, extending unemployment benefits and health care.”

As the number of college graduates increases and the number of available jobs dwindles, graduates are hard-pressed to connect with potential employers. UNM Career Services, which took over the NM CareerMatch website, helps New Mexico graduates locate jobs in Albuquerque, UNM director of Career Services Jenna Crabb said. She said that there are more than 1,400 employers registered on the site. “The employers who post on this site are specifically looking at retaining our graduates and hiring our alumni,” she said. “It is a great connection and networking tool for our alumni.” The site’s largest employers include Lovelace and Presbyterian hospitals, Hewlett-Packard, KPMG (a U.S. audit, tax and advisory services firm) and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The site automatically logs and verifies transcripts and GPAs through UNM so employees don’t have to send copies to each perspective employer, and provides both employers and would-be employees a platform for hiring.
Amy Miller attended UNM and CNM and graduated with a degree in business. She works at a veterinary office, but said she hopes NM Careermatch.com can connect her with a higher-paying job. She said the website specifically solicits New Mexico graduates, and many of the employers on the website are locally based. “One of the reasons it’s such a good site is because it’s for New Mexico graduates only,” she said. “You literally have to go on there and prove you are a New Mexico grad.” Sixty-five percent of New Mexico employers had posted a position on the site at one time, and 48 percent ranked the site as “good“ or “excellent,” according to a recent survey conducted by NM Careermatch. Seventy-seven percent said they hired at least one individual whose profile was posted on the site. Crabb said the goal of the site is to retain New Mexico college graduates and promote their talents. She said too many New Mexico graduates leave the state to find work. “Our workforce will stand out nationally by providing cutting-edge work in our nation,” she said. “The brain drain that many depict occurs would stop.”

“Solidarity” is a word often used around Camp Coyote. Camaraderie and community is apparent through the many altruistic deeds witnessed during the course of a normal day in the camp. Donations of food from the community are abundant, as is help with any type of activity, whether it be cleaning the site or hauling in jugs of drinking water. Mikey Harvell (Camp Coyote resident for one and a half weeks), left, tries to light a stove Wednesday while Camp Coyote residents Tom Apt and Howard Lackey chat nearby. Creations such as the stove and donations from community members have been integral to making the stay at Camp Coyote more comfortable.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON— It’s not just what they say. The image of Mitt Romney laying a hand on Rick Perry’s shoulder in Tuesday night’s Republican presidential debate may well be remembered long after people have forgotten what the two were squabbling over. “That definitely did jump out,” says Alan Schroeder, a Northeastern University professor and expert on presidential debates. “That particular gesture did not look hostile, but it was a little condescending.” Body language speaks volumes in televised debates. Classic moments from debates past often had more to do with what the candidates did — or didn’t do — than what they said. President George H.W. Bush’s words to Democrat Bill Clinton and Independent Ross Perot in a 1992 debate are long forgotten. The fact that cameras caught the president checking his watch wasn’t. It suggested to
viewers that Bush was bored and wished he were someplace else. Eight years later, Democrat Al Gore’s audible sighs in the first debate of the 2000 campaign were seen as discourteous to George W. Bush. And in another faceoff, the vice president invaded Bush’s personal space by approaching the Texas governor on stage. Gore wanted to throw Bush offstride; instead, he came across as overbearing. In the 2004 campaign, Bush’s facial gestures — interpreted by many as a smirk — drew negative comments in his first debate with Democratic Sen. John Kerry. Bush came off as cocky. By the second debate, Bush was keenly aware that his demeanor mattered as much as his words. “That answer almost made me want to scowl,” he joked at one point. In the 2008 campaign, Republican Sen. John McCain’s grimaces during his debates with Barack Obama fed into the image of a grumpy old man. And his refusal to make eye contact
with Obama in the first debate was considered rude by some viewers. “Sometimes it’s what you do that’s wrong, and sometimes it’s what you don’t do,” says Schroeder. It’s not just presidential candidates who have been tripped up when trying to calibrate how to look like they’re in command at a debate without coming on too strong. Republican Rep. Rick Lazio turned off viewers in 2000 when he strode across the stage to push Hillary Clinton to sign a campaign finance pledge in their New York Senate race. People thought he looked like a bully. In Tuesday’s GOP debate in Las Vegas, Romney reached over and put his hand on Perry’s shoulder after the Texas governor accused Romney of reaching “the height of hypocrisy” for talking tough on immigration when he’d hired a landscaping company that employed illegal immigrants to do work at his home. ___ Associated Press writer Kasie Hunt in Las Vegas contributed to this report.

Five captive-bred Mexican gray wolves have been released in a mountain range just south of the U.S.-Mexico border as part of an effort to re-establish the species throughout its historic range, a Mexican conservation group announced. Supporters of wolf reintroduction in the American Southwest said Wednesday they hope the release in Mexico will provide a genetic boost to a struggling population of wolves which has been established in New Mexico and Arizona over the past 13 years. Still, supporters have concerns that any extension of the border wall or wolf recovery policies established by U.S. wildlife officials could have an impact on the wolves’ success in both countries. “It’s very good news and we have

high hopes,” Michael Robinson of the group Center for Biological Diversity said of the release. “But it’s a very tenuous start and not only events in Mexico, but policy decisions in the U.S. could very well undermine it.” The Mexican conservation group Naturalia said the release occurred in Sonora’s San Luis Mountains last week. The effort was led by the government agency that oversees Mexico’s natural resources and the environment. The reintroduction in Mexico has been 20 years in the making. Mexico has established 18 captivebreeding facilities and has more than five dozen wolves. A release of captive-bred wolves into the wild was first proposed in 2009, but faced delays. Just last month, Mexican officials announced they were working on finding a suitable time for the release.

Letters Advocating violence doesn’t help anyone Editor,
I am writing concerning the series of recent letters from Muhajir Romero, especially “Muslims should fight oppression with force,” published this Wednesday. It’s fanatics like Muhajir that give religions a bad name. Personally, I think the Iraq War was illegal, and Bush and gang should go to prison as war criminals for the rest of their lives. I think Afghanistan is an ongoing tragedy, and continued drone strikes expose our airmen to violations of the Geneva Convention.
“You’re not helping Islam by advocating violence. You just look like a tool, and make yourself a target for law enforcement.” I don’t think the U.S. should be an Imperialist state, and I’d love to put a stop to it. Not because our soldiers are killing Muslims, but because our soldiers are killing people. Mr. Romero should be less concerned about the loony beliefs and nonexistent souls of those being unjustly attacked and more about their lives. That’s an essential difference between the ethics of secular humanism (I’m an atheist) and the moralism of fundamentalist religious orthodoxies, of any stripe. I’m so sick of religious people spouting their delusional effluence all over everyone else. You get no sympathy from me when you whine about religious persecution, then turn around and advocate violence against those who you believe are persecuting you. It’s not persecution to tell the guy who insists that the Earth is flat that he’s a f***ing moron. It’s my right as a human being living on a spherical planet. So, Mr. Romero, shut it. You’re not helping Islam by advocating violence. You just look like a tool and make yourself a target for law enforcement. Indeed, (and I never thought I’d say this) I hope the authorities do look into you. We don’t need any unhinged fanatics justifying murder on campus. Joseph Edwards VIII UNM student

Column
Grads produce, undergrads consume by Carrie Cutler
Daily Lobo Columnist
Now that I’ve been in graduate classes and on both sides of an undergraduate classroom, I want to apologize to most of my undergraduate professors. Experiencing classes as an undergraduate is very, very different than the classes I sit in now. I’ve heard the contrast referred to as the difference between being a consumer of knowledge and being expected to be a producer of knowledge; in my graduate classes, I am expected to retain and regurgitate things that already exist, and in much more detail than I had to for my undergraduate classes. I am now expected to put together and execute a research project that makes new material for the rest of the world. This material will be judged by my peers and used to provide a reputation for me, for better or worse, which, if it’s a bad reputation, I will have trouble escaping. What this means is that I have to go out, find something that has not yet been researched but that is popular enough to allow me to get a job with it, design a way to research it, find already written and conceptualized work that is close, but not too close to what I’ve already done, try to figure out who might be interested in my work, find funding that can pay for my education and experiment, publish enough to get a job and build a reputation, locate a committee willing to sign off on my work and write a book-sized manuscript. If that sounds like a lot, it is. I can’t graduate until I’ve done these things; it’s not enough to have taken the credit hours and done well. I have to produce something a committee judges worthwhile, by their own standards, in order to
Protests are necessary, essence of free speech Editor, I am writing in response to two items that appeared on your opinion page Oct. 7. Congratulations to Arun Anand Ahuja for the satirical column on China. I laughed out loud. We really do blame so many things on China that could be laid at the feet of American business leaders who put money first and foremost. In regard to Olivia Gatwood’s
get out of graduate school. This means a bunch of things in the classroom. First, in graduate classes, it means that I am essentially an investment in a future peer for professors. I have much more access to my professors to ask questions, access to more sources for funding (this does not mean I get the money, only that I get to ask for it) and access to an office and other physical facilities on campus. I am more trusted as a student, and I am also given greater responsibilities, like teaching.
“ Professionals are expected to work until the project is done...because the project is more important than you.” Along with those perks, it is expected that graduate courses can cover massive amounts of material very quickly. For a single class, I have covered as many as 600 pages of dense theory and critique a week. For another class, I produced 230+ pages over the course of the semester on the readings given. A full-time load for a graduate student is three classes, so that output is reproduced three times, in addition to other duties. I also have to earn the attention and distinction of my professors, which doesn’t just mean coming prepared to lead and significantly participate in a discussion which can be on any subject the professor thinks is germane (and they do notice, since the classes are very small).
Letters
letter, “Liberal protest creates traffic jam, not change,” I am glad that she supports the overall goals of the Occupy Albuquerque protest. However, I disagree with her opinion that such a demonstration is useless and hypocritical because it involves, as she says, “Lying around in the grass wishing for a better democracy.” She may not be old enough to remember Vietnam and the Civil Rights Movement, but protests, marches and demonstrations worked to stop the war and segregation. It’s simply a fact of history, whether one favors such methods here on the UNM campus or not.
It also means that I have to go to social events, to seminars, get additional certifications, offer to staff department event tables, do additional unpaid work (like giving talks), and perform well in my studies. In addition to that, for graduate students, the future looms. Many of us have student loans, and graduate school is quite expensive. The job market is very competitive, and we have to be fairly exceptional to move directly into employment, especially as someone who might get tenure and not be forced to teach a 4/4 or 5/5 load (four or five classes per semester.) The unemployment rate is considerably less for people with a doctorate degree, but the continued cuts to education make finding a college job difficult, at best, and are causing the best students to hemorrhage to the private sector, where they are better paid and have a more humane work day. Your professors, thanks to retirement and budget cuts, work a 50-hour week. They, too, are expected to distinguish themselves in public service, publications and by accruing honors to the university, in addition to filling in for deficits in hiring as the budgets fall. I complained rather a lot as an undergraduate about the amount of work I had to do. Despite the fact that I worked full time cooking and unloading trucks, and carried a 12credit hour schedule, I can confidently say that I worked much less. That’s the difference between a graduate and undergraduate classroom. Professionals are expected to work until the project is done, and done to be judged by your peers, because the project is more important than you. We are not a group inclined to be charitable; we’re competing for the same positions.
Her heart is in the right place, and I am not criticizing her for questioning campus goings-on. Perhaps the protests could move to Walmart, Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank or to any local headquarters of businesses that contributed to the Wall Street mess and/or the flow of jobs to China. We need more and bigger demonstrations because protests are the essence of free speech — and they get outstanding results through media coverage. Vivian Gilbert UNM community member

Halloween workshop features Poe poetry by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu The Albuquerque Community Writing Center offers an intellectual Poe-etry treat to replace the sugary goodies this Halloween. The fledgling writing center, founded in July by UNM graduate students and teachers, is participating in The Big Read, a program promoting literacy funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. ABQCWC is one of many Albuquerque organizations involved in the program, said Brian Hendrickson, founding co-director of ABQCWC and an English teacher and graduate student at UNM. Other city events include screenings of Poe-inspired films at the Guild Cinema, children’s book readings and other poetry readings. ABQCWC offers a free workshop at the main branch of the public library this Saturday featuring poet Gary Jackson. Hendrickson said the poet uses Poe as an inspirational spring board for his more personal writing. Jackson said his primary goal was generating new work and not specifically on the details of Poe’s writing. “Poe is ripe for persona, image and voice, since a lot of his poems are about these tragic characters and events,” he said. “I also like the idea of how various media and art influence one another, and I want to take images that were originally inspired by Poe’s literature and use them to inspire new work.”
Jackson said the medium of poetry is intimidating sometimes, and he won’t be emphasizing the macabre aspects of Poe’s writing just because it is Halloween season. “I probably won’t incorporate any spooky or Halloween-themed elements into the workshop that aren’t already inherently found in Poe’s poetry,” he said. “Besides, I think poetry scares a lot of people away as it is. No sense in adding fuel to that fire.” ABQCWC originated from UNM graduate students interested in community writing and literacy, Hendrickson said. Now the ABQCWC offers free services for nearly every facet of writing, and Hendrickson said his organization is trying to reach out to all members of the Albuquerque community. “This isn’t just for novelists and poets, but somebody who wants help on a job application or somebody who needs help on a grant proposal or anything like that, (we also help with) press releases for their business, (or) letters to the editor,” he said. “The idea is to have an actual place where all of that can happen under one roof, so to speak.” Hendrickson said the organization is different from other literacy and education initiatives because it focuses specifically on writing, as opposed to reading or GED prep. He said it is important to give the community what they want and not approach them with

he separated from them in the early ’90s to move to Santa Fe, when he started working for KUNM. His first program inspired a second one, which he called “Youth with Promise.” It provides incarcerated youth with guitar, dance and visual arts workshops that continue when they are released. “I think that these kids are yearning for something,” he said. “Everybody’s got creative, artistic potential, and very often they don’t have the opportunity, especially in the schools they go through. It’s not a cool thing in the gangs or whatever it is. … Art is one thing they have this incredible, almost intrinsic, talent in.” In 1996, “Outside In” had 96 events, concerts and workshops that he said seemed like a lot at the time. Lescht said he spends most of his time writing grants for the now 700 programs they have on average, over the course of a year. Lescht said studies have shown that kids in crisis are most responsive to art therapy. “We’re still in touch with some of the kids that were almost too dangerous to hold in the facility,” he said. “In a year or two, they were transformed by just learning how to play the guitar. That’s kind of an indication of what the arts can do.” Chris Abeyta, a guitar instructor for the program, said that in order to break through the kids’ self-protective defensive barriers, he teaches them in a relatable way. “I’m not telling them ‘This is a triad,’ or ‘This is a pentatonic scale.’ I tell them, ‘This is a pattern you need to learn.’”

Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Adam Archuleta,12, practices trumpet during a mariachi class section on Aug. 23 at Washington Middle School. The class’s teacher, Al Gurule, said beyond teaching students the craft, he opens their minds to new possibilities, such as continuing their education after high school. So far, all of the seniors he has taught have graduated.

The success of his high school mariachi program is music to Al Gurule’s ears — literally. Before he began teaching mariachi in public schools, Al Gurule was an accountant who performed mariachi on the side. “I didn’t want to work with little kids. I didn’t think I would like it,” he said. “When I started, I realized how smart kids were. Actually, they are smarter than adults and easier to teach.” Back then, he said his thinking was limited because of the musicians in his social circle. He
also said his general impatience made him apprehensive about teaching kids. He began teaching kids and adults in the ’90s at the Mariachi Spectacular, an annual UNMsponsored conference/concert. Before then, he was teaching mariachi in the evening at the University through the Mariachi Lobo program, which was canceled in 2008 due to lack of funding. In 2000, Norberta Fresquez, co-organizer of Mariachi Spectacular, told him she wanted to start an elementary school program. The initiative began at the East San Jose Elementary School, located off of Gibson and Broadway boulevards, as a before-school program, he said. The program quickly became popular, he said, and as the students moved on to Washington Middle School, the principal there wanted him to continue the program. He continued to teach at East San Jose before school while he taught after school at Washington. This trend kept up once the students reached Albuquerque High School. At the middle school, the principal told him since the band had 13 students, she wanted to make his 80 mariachi students her band. At that point, Gurule said he closed the book on his accounting career and earned his teaching license at CNM to work in the programs full time. Now, students earn elective credit for the class, though because it is the only program of its kind, it is the black sheep of the Albuquerque
Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Al Gurule teaches mariachi at Washington Middle School on Aug. 23. Because he teaches all grade levels, he sees each student’s entire progression – from the beginning of grade school to his or her high school graduation. Public School fine arts department, he said. “Same notes, same theory, same philosophy, but the fine arts department. If it’s not band or orchestra, it doesn’t exist,” he said. “So we’re on our own as far as funding is concerned. My money doesn’t come out of fine arts, it comes out of a different budget.” At a high school where the graduation rate is 50 percent, Gurule said everyone who has continued into the Albuquerque High School mariachi program has graduated. “They become family,” he said. “For the most part, they’re pretty good students, very disciplined. … This is good peer pressure, because I’ve heard them talking. If you don’t do well in class, they call you names,
so it’s cool to be smart in this group, as opposed to how it’s cool to not be smart. If we could figure out why, we’d be very rich, because that’s the biggest problem in the school systems.” Gurule said he has 140 students currently, some of which he has watched grow into young adults while he becomes more like a role model and mentor than simply a mariachi instructor.
For example, he said there are some kids who grow up considering college as being exclusively for rich, smart kids. He said he opens their eyes to possibilities, like being the first in their family to get a college education, and some of them have already done so. “They’ve come to me for advice and really personal stuff, crazy stuff I know they couldn’t go to their parents about,” he said. “I watch out for them, I’m really concerned about them. I see them being around for a long time, I don’t think just because school’s ended, I’ll never see or hear from them again.” The program maintains a high degree of visibility in the community by playing for the public. The group has played for the mayor and the governor, he said. Last year, he brought the students
to Santa Fe to perform for the legislature. State Representative Rick Miera, D-Bernalillo County, said he discovered the program after he discovered something similar in Taos, though that program is limited to high school juniors and seniors. He said the program is valuable in that it stimulates kids in a way that keeps them involved in school, giving them incentive to do well in other subject areas. “We’ve been cutting education for many years now, and the first thing to go is always that right brain kind of operation, the arts and music,” he said. “That’s unfortunate, because sometimes that and other issues keep kids in school, keep them involved and learning. That’s the shameful part.”

In your pursuit of academic saintliness, you may find the UNM Art Museum enlightening. Ray Hernández-Durán, who gave a talk on the “Saints and Sinners” exhibit, is a colonial scholar who focuses on Pre-Columbian and Colonial Latin American art. He said the featured works in the exhibit range from large paintings to smaller sketches. “These paintings refer to biblical narratives, but they also have other symbolic functions,” he said. “In the context of the mass or the sermon, people would learn what the image represented. They would learn the content of the Bible, the biblical morals and the tenets of the Christian faith.” From the 1500s to the mid19th century, Hernández-Durán said many people were illiterate, so the paintings served a didactic purpose. “These paintings serve as models for the viewer on how to be a proper Christian, how to properly pray, how to meditate, and in some cases, the images are meant to induce this kind of meditative

a holier-than-thou attitude. “When we’re trying to figure out how to provide a service for somebody, we have to actually listen and adapt rather than going in with the idea of being a crusader or pioneer,” he said. “People don’t need to be saved, they need people to listen to them and figure out how to give them what they need.” Hendrickson said the center not only wants to offer writing services to Albuquerque’s youth, but wants to involve them in the volunteer tutoring process as well. Hendrickson said he encourages any community members to volunteer, regardless of age or skill set, because the center isn’t interested necessarily in people who identify themselves primarily as writers, and he said training is provided for anyone interested. Ultimately, he said the ability to use the written word is imperative to modern interactions. “We’re at this really crucial
time, I think, in our nation’s historical development. It’s never been more important for people to take agency in this process, and you can’t overlook the importance of writing in doing that,” he said. “I think we all feel pretty isolated sometimes, and we feel like nobody’s listening. I think if we’re not constantly figuring out how we’re using language to engage with one another in a productive way, then I don’t know if there’s any real hope.” Box Poetry Discussion & Poetry Discussion & Writing Writing Workshop Workshop with Gary Jackson Saturday with 2 - 4 Gary p.m. Jackson Main Library 501Saturday, Copper AveOct.

state,” he said. “They don’t just illustrate stories. They’re meant to illicit responses — mentally, spiritually and emotionally, and sometimes even physically, so they work on multiple levels.” Sixteen works will be displayed, but most are from secondary, lesser-known artists, Hernández-Durán said. “We don’t have a Caravaggio, but there’s a work that’s in the style of Caravaggio, and this artist may have trained with Caravaggio or seen his work,” HernándezDurán said. “It provides the local audience exposure to art of very different periods, and these kinds of works serve a very important function as links to understanding these historical periods.”
