Structure springs up to solve crucial parking problems by Pat Lohmann and Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
The empty space at Lomas and Yale boulevards is going from a lot of dirt to a lot of concrete. UNM began construction Monday to convert the Bureau of Business and Economic Research parking lot, or J lot, to a parking structure for 800 vehicles. The structure is set to be completed by fall 2010.
Those who have J and C lot passes will park in T or G lot during the construction, according to UNM Today. A statement written by a group of UNM Parking and Transportation Services representatives said the structure may create more traffic in the surrounding area, but only temporarily. “Utilizing traffic engineering studies, the structure was designed to be as functionally unobtrusive as
possible while mitigating the overall amount of traffic congestion,” according to the statement. “On opening, it may take a short while for people to get used to the new traffic patterns created by the structure, but we think this will just be a shortterm concern.” The structure will cost roughly $17 million to build, and the hourly fee is projected to be $1.75. Spruce Park Neighborhood Association President Valerie St. John
said she is concerned about increased traffic on Lomas Boulevard. She said UNM should consider different forms of parking and transportation, instead of building a parking structure that will bring more vehicles to the main campus area. “I think UNM needs to encourage other forms of transportation,” St. John said. “If you really study development of other large universities, there is a better system. It’s not
necessary to park right there on campus within walking distance. When I went to college, I had to park in a facility and take a shuttle bus in, but that was fine.” PATS representatives said the new structure does not aim to discourage alternative transportation, but is a solution to immediate problems. “The new parking structure is principally a solution to a specific,

First official class ring now available to students by Candace Hsu Daily Lobo
The UNM class ring is available after five years of careful design. The ring is available from Jostens, a nationwide college ring manufacturer, for $511 to $630, depending on the type of metal used and ring size. The same company makes Eastern New Mexico University’s ring for $408 and New Mexico Tech’s ring for $388 to $494. Debbie Morris, director of

student activities, said the University ring has Hodgin Hall on one side and a Lobo on the other. “The rings are easy to identify as UNM,” she said. “Hodgin Hall was the original University, which shows some great importance. The rings can also be individualized with engravings inside the ring.” Only students who have earned 60 credit hours or more can get the ring. Karen Abraham, associate vice president of alumni relations, said she had the idea for the ring.

“The Alumni Association is very enthusiastic about the ring,” she said. “It has been a long
process. We gained input from students and alumni about what they wanted. Now that the ring is being launched, I am very pleased and excited to bring in this new tradition to build on.” The concept was taken over by student regent Cate Wisdom, who was Lobo Spirit Director at the time. “As director, I was in charge of

The worldwide non-profit organization Invisible Children has reached the UNM campus. In early 2003, three young filmmakers from southern California embarked on a journey to Africa in search of a story they could share with the world. When Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole reached Uganda, they learned of an epic tragedy that shocked them and motivated them to make several documentaries displaying the hardships faced by Ugandans. The documentaries expose the plight of northern Ugandan child soldiers in the hands of Joseph Kony, leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army since 1989. The documentaries had a powerful and inspiring impact on two UNM students, Carol Payne and Kristin Sandine, who created Invisible Children UNM this semester. The Invisible Children UNM group had a free viewing of two of the documentary films, “The Rescue of Joseph Kony’s Child Soldiers” and “Together We Are,” on Monday in the SUB Movie Theater. Payne, vice president of Invisible Children UNM, said the organization aims at grassroots activism to fix a problem thousands of miles away. “We’re here to spread the word and to tell people that we care,” Payne said. “This non-profit organization has inspired me way more than any other program. It’s just because it’s real people doing real things. It’s also people doing things that you can see and feel.” The LRA is a guerrilla army that’s been abducting boys from Uganda, southern Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to the documentaries. The children are forced to fight the Ugandan

Kempter, 50, faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Prosecutors said Kempter hired the exotic dancer for a private dance at the Lariat Motel, and Kempter and the dancer shared a taxi to the location.

She said she parks in the visitor structure at least once a month, even though she has a South Lot pass. “I park in the structure, because when I drive to school and I have my baby with me, I don’t feel comfortable taking him on the bus,� Abercrombie said. Abercrombie said commuting
from her home in Santa Fe every day could be easier if the Rail Runner was more accessible to UNM students. She said it isn’t possible to take the train because of her night classes. “I wish that UNM would work more in conjunction with the Rail Runner so that the later night classes would be accommodated,� Abercrombie said. “I can’t take the Rail Runner to UNM because my class that I teach gets out at 6:30 p.m., and the last train up to Santa Fe is at 6:30 p.m.� She said on-campus parking will be popular with students, whether it is in a structure or on a lot.

MIAMI— Immigrant advocates are urging retailers to pull a Halloween costume of a space creature in orange prison garb emblazoned with the words “illegal alien,� while a group that supports strict immigration laws says such a move violates freedom of speech.
Since Friday, when an L.A. immigrant group raised the issue, companies including Target, Walgreens and eBay have removed the costume from their inventory. Still, many local retailers continue to stock the costume, which also comes with a “green card.� Beyond the holiday uproar, the dispute highlights the controversial nature of the phrase “illegal aliens,� which is still the government’s official term for those in the U.S. without a visa.

“As director, I was in charge of presenting school spirit and tradition. Many of us worked together to get the concept of the ring started,� Wisdom said. “The ring’s purpose is to show pride for the University. It will allow people to distinguish graduates. People can wear the ring where others can see it, giving an instant connection as Lobos.� Wisdom said the ring will be a graduation incentive for students because it can be treasured for the rest of their lives. “We worked with graduates, undergraduates, the Alumni Association, and the Student Activities Center to pick the perfect ring,� Wisdom said. “We had to decide on which logo we wanted based on a contest held last year, and we decided to have the Lobo in front of the Sandia Mountains. The Sandias are important because it’s something that we see every day from campus.� Senior Victoria Huntsman said a UNM ring would help her appreciate her accomplishments in college. “I didn’t get a high school ring,
so I think getting a college ring would be something worthwhile,� she said. “I think the ring really represents your accomplishments and education. It is a good symbol of your accomplishments.� Morris said the committee picked Jostens after reviewing many ring distributors because Jostens offered a wide range in prices and types of rings. “You can pick the type of metal and the size. They do payment plans as well,� she said. Jostens also does a “trade-in� program. Morris said Jostens representatives will be promoting the ring around campus in the upcoming week. “As far as we know, there has never been an official University ring. That’s what we are trying to accomplish. Before, people could create their own individual ring, or just anyone could purchase a ring from the Bookstore,� Morris said. “The ring in general is a significance that you graduated, and it is a symbol of your university. It is something to be proud of.�

FROM THE WEB In a letter to the editor on Oct. 11, student Muhajir Salam wrote that Mayor-elect Richard Berry attracted white voters using scare tactics, such as calling Albuquerque a budding “sanctuary city” for illegal immigrants. The letter, titled “Richard Berry should change his race-baiting rhetoric,” has become the second most-commented story on DailyLobo.com, with over 80 comments as of Tuesday afternoon. by ‘Dale’ Posted Oct. 12 “I agree that ’illegal immigration‘ should not be rewarded, and those people need to take the path to legal citizenship. Therein lies the problem. The process of becoming a citizen in this country is so convoluted and expensive, that the ‘tired, poor, and sick‘ our country is supposed to accept cannot afford the process, so what happens is they pay a coyote to bring them across illegally or get into drug trafficking as a way to pay for their families to come over legally. There is no doubt that we need immigration reform, but the rhetoric put forth by Richard Berry and other conservatives is filled with fear and hate toward immigrants. They don’t want illegals in the country, but are unwilling to change the way we process them. There is a reason people would risk there lives to make the trek across the border to better their lives, and it’s because it’s damn near impossible for them get here legally.” by ‘Edward’ Posted Oct. 12 “If Berry does but one thing in the next four years, may it be the removal of Albuquerque’s ‘sanctuary city’ status. From where do you imagine the excessive crime rate comes? What part of ‘illegal immigrant’ do you not understand? Illegal immigrants are not welcome. Ship them home at their expense, if possible.” by ‘MadMommy’ Posted Oct. 12 “Anyone who is against enforcement of the laws of legal immigration is in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the American taxpayer. We are being robbed. Our children are being robbed and the open borders amnesty advocates are acting against the interest of America and its citizens. If you encourage illegal immigrants to come here and subvert the immigration process, breaking every law they want to stay here and take American jobs away from Americans, you deserve to be arrested. This is a land of laws. Get it? Leave, before we catch you and throw you out. No jobs for illegal immigrants and they will go home the same way they came here. Deportation by attrition.” by ‘Phillip Howell’ Posted Oct. 13 “Illegal immigrants should get abortions because their existence is sucking off America’s teats. I am normally not pro-Abortion, but pro-Life, and I will shoot anyone who disagrees, but I would rather shoot an illegal immigrant than shoot a baby.” by ‘Nil’ Posted Oct. 13 “Thank you, UNM, for showing me that humanity has nothing but hatred. That everyone is racist. That everyone is ignorant. Last I checked, I was in Albuquerque, not Birmingham, Ala.” by ‘Summerspeaker’ Posted Oct. 13 “Social struggle isn’t easy; I’m happy sitting on the couch, eating Hot Fries, and complaining that illegal immigrants are working in the factories to produce Hot Fries for my fat fingers to eat while watching the premiere of ‘Stargate Universe.’” Join the discussion at DailyLobo.com.
ANALYSIS
Health bill seeks AMA support by David Espo
The Associated Press In the special interest war over health care, the White House and congressional Democrats have the nation’s drug makers and hospitals generally on their side; the insurance industry, not so much. Now the bill’s supporters are making a play to lock in the American Medical Association, the organization that says it represents 250,000 doctors and medical students in every state and congressional district. The principal enticement, a $247 billion measure making its way to the Senate floor, aims to wipe out a scheduled 21 percent rate cut for doctors treating Medicare patients and replace it with a permanent, predictable system for future fee increases. The AMA, firmly in favor of higher pay for doctors, began airing ads last week saying the increase would “protect seniors’ access to quality care.” In case lawmakers need any inducement to act, a late 2008 study by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, which advises Congress, found that nearly 30 percent of Medicare patients looking for a new primary care doctor had trouble finding one. Yet the AMA won’t yet pledge support for the major health care bill that is the chief objective of the White House and congressional Democrats, despite a request that several officials say was made at a meeting last week with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Asked several times at a news conference Tuesday whether the AMA would support the measure, Dr. J. James Rohack, the organization’s president, equivocated. “We haven’t seen a final bill. Once we get something, we will be able to answer that question,” he said. Nor does the AMA seem eager to soft-pedal another of its own top priorities, legislation to restrict medical malpractice payments. “We continue to press for significant medical liability reform because we know that is a very important contributor to unnecessary health care costs,” Rohack said Tuesday in an interview in which he declined repeatedly to say whether

the organization had been asked to back off. Higher payments to doctors and curbs on medical malpractice awards “in my mind are separate issues. I can’t speak for how other people are putting this whole thing together,” he added. Evidently not in the minds of Democrats. Several officials say that request, too, was conveyed to the AMA and other doctor groups in last week’s session with Reid. Not coincidentally, any limitations in medical malpractice awards are anathema to trial lawyers, whom Democrats count as among their most reliable and generous campaign supporters. The dance is one of many in the long-running health care debate, the issue that has consumed Congress, the administration and a vast constellation of outside groups for months. Take the Senate Finance Committee, which last week approved a middle-of-the-road measure that may eventually prove a template for a compromise on an issue that has defied solution for decades. Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine drew headlines when she became the first Republican to support White House-backed health care legislation. But according to some of the bill’s supporters, a vote that occurred with little fanfare several evenings earlier was crucial to the legislation’s survival. It pitted the drug makers and the White House on one side and most of the committee’s Democrats on the other. At issue was a plan by Sen. Bill Nelson, DFla., to sweeten drug benefits for certain Medicare beneficiaries — normally something all lawmakers can favor. In this case, Nelson proposed raising fees on drug companies by $106 billion over a decade to cover the costs. “Did PhRMA come to the table in the agreement with the White House with enough? A number of us feel that is not the case,” Nelson said of the industry. But his approach happened to run afoul of a deal the industry made months ago with the White House and Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., the committee’s chairman. Drug makers would cover $80 billion of the cost of the legislation

over a decade, and the White House and Baucus would help shield them from attempts by other lawmakers to impose additional fees or taxes. Left undisclosed for weeks was a critical codicil — that the industry would bankroll an expensive advertising campaign to promote the bill’s passage, at a cost of $100 million or more. Passage of Nelson’s proposal “may well undermine our ability to pass comprehensive health care reform in this Congress and I think that would be a great tragedy,” Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., said shortly before the vote. Baucus, too, spoke against Nelson’s recommendation, although he added, “We have to find some other time and some other way to fill the doughnut hole,” a reference to a gap in coverage under the Medicare prescription drug program. Of Nelson, Baucus said, “I frankly wish the senator had decided not to push” for a vote. Not only Baucus, but also the White House had urged Nelson to drop his amendment, according to Senate sources who spoke on condition of anonymity. On the vote, the chairman, Carper and Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., joined all committee Republicans in opposing the plan, and it failed on a vote of 13-10. The drug deal was secure, and so, too, the bill. Special interest politics was also at play for the nation’s hospitals. They, too, have a side deal with the White House and Baucus, and they also received a measure of protection in the bill that cleared the committee. At the last minute, the chairman decided to shield them from any future cuts to be recommended by an independent commission charged with recommending savings in Medicare. The insurance industry? Reid made an unusual appearance at a Senate committee hearing recently to support repeal of 60-year-old antitrust laws that benefit insurance companies. David Espo is chief congressional correspondent for The Associated Press.

Stand-in coach sustains Locksley’s lead by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
The Lobo ship seems to be guiding itself with interim head football coach George Barlow at the helm. Take a little public relations skills and throw in a travel agent — the result is a 10-day temporary replacement coach. “Really what you are doing is seeing over — for lack of a better word — day-to-day operations of the program,” Barlow said. “The coordinators kind of take care of all the inner workings. But all the outside stuff, the media and setting up travel plans — you have to oversee all of the little things.” Head coach Mike Locksley tabbed Barlow as assistant head coach when he hired him. So it’s only fitting that Barlow guide the Lobos to bay while Locksley serves his suspension because of an altercation with assistant coach J.B Gerald. With Locksley out and Gerald on
paid administrative leave, the players are down two coaches. Still, it’s been business as usual. The leader of the offensive, quarterback Donovan Porterie, said the week’s schedule is practically the same. The only difference he can spot is personality. “As far as being the head coach of the team, (Barlow) is doing exactly what coach Locks would have been doing,” he said. “Coach Barlow is more of a quiet guy, but when the time comes he gets amped, coach Locksley is more vocal.” But offensive coordinator Darrell Dickey said the offensive end of the game stands to be hit the hardest by Locksley’s absence, since Locksley, former offensive coordinator of Illinois, also installed his own spread, no-huddle scheme this season. Dickey said the Lobos will have to increase their focus on the task at hand. “We adjust and we move on,” he said. “This is (Locksley’s) offense. He

knows it better than anybody, and he is usually able to come in when we are stuck on something and say, ‘Hey, here’s what you need to do,’ and help us with the adjustments.” Dickey said that midway through the season, the coaches are just carrying out the blueprint Locksley put in place. “After six games, we kind of have a feel for his thought process,” he said. “There are also a couple of guys that played in this offense for him and have coached in this offense. So, they are able to tell us what he would be thinking. It is tough when your No. 1 resource is not available, but it is what it is, and we are dealing with it.” Dickey said Barlow — who likely received advice from Locksley before he left — is faring well. “Obviously before coach (Locksley) left they probably talked a little bit,” he said. “But each day I think coach Barlow has come in and set

World Series needs Yankees by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
Is it really October without a New York baseball franchise playing in the postseason? For the last five years, I’ve felt kind of naked without the Yankees playing in the World Series.
What’s worse is that in 2008, the old Yankee Stadium didn’t see the postseason in its last year of hosting America’s favorite pastime. With the Red Sox out of the picture, more than ever the New York Yankees have to play in the 2009 World Series to save Major League Baseball and Bud Selig’s job as commissioner — and even that might not be enough, which attests to just how atrocious Selig has been. Sorry, LA fans, but this Fall Classic has to go up and down Interstate-95 from the George Washington Bridge in the Bronx to the City of Brotherly Love. The Yankees must play the defending World Series Champion, Philadelphia. It doesn’t matter who wins the championship, but the World Series has to be full of walk-offs, scrappiness and just pure all-out grit. It’s the only way MLB can get back on the map and at least compete with the NFL in television ratings. And it can’t be a short four or five game series. It’s got to go all the way. Since 2002, the Fall Classic has
Barlow
been boring and downright embarrassing for the MLB. Can anybody name who won it in 2006? Unless you live in Detroit or St. Louis, the average sports fan probably can’t answer that. In 2007, “Rocktober” fever swept out of the Rocky Mountains and into the nation’s heart as the Colorado Rockies won 21 of 22 games to get the National League Wild Card spot. The Rockies then swept the Phillies in the National League Division Series and the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Championship Series. But that was before they hit the Green Monster at Fenway Park, and they hit it hard. America’s feel-good Rockies were brutally swept by Boston for the Red Sox’s second title in four years. The 2008 World Series was raindelayed. It irritated a lot of sports fans, but Philly fans didn’t mind. After all, Philadelphia did wait more than 20 years for another championship. For baseball’s sake, before the Jedi return, the Evil Empire must strike back.
