Student tutors at CAPS make it work by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com
Students who find that peer tutors at the Center for Academic Program Support (CAPS) are sometimes not able to provide adequate tutoring can receive additional assistance; all they have to do is ask. UNM student Jacob Lowe said that although CAPS is helpful most of the time, he had some experiences with a tutor not being able to answer his questions, especially in science-related courses. “Ninety-nine percent of the time you can get your questions answered,” he said. “Occasionally, there’s a tutor that can’t answer a question.” But Lowe said that when a tutor can’t answer a student’s question, the issue is referred to another tutor. He said that ultimately, he gets his questions answered. “They always refer you to someone who can answer your question, and there’s always someone here,” he said. CAPS Senior Program Manager Daniel Sanford said the program has to deal with these kinds of issues “periodically” throughout the semester. He said the majority
of students’ complaints are about the quality of science and math tutoring. But Sanford said the problem exists in students’ unrealistic expectations of their tutors. “(Peer tutors) are there to guide students through the inquiry process,” he said. “People should expect to get out of their tutoring sessions tools that will help them to do the questions by themselves more effectively. We’re trying to create independent learners.” Sanford said peer tutors are hired for a semester based on their academic performance. He said students must have a grade point average of 3.0, and must have received mostly A’s and B’s for classes in the field in which they want to tutor. Sanford said CAPS values applicants’ recommendations from professors and teacher assistants most importantly. “We really depend on faculty referrals for tutors,” he said. “Being a peer tutor goes beyond knowing the contents of the field. We want people who model student behavior.” According to the CAPS website, undergraduate peer tutors are paid $11 per hour and work 12

Students who receive help from the Center for Academic Program Support (CAPS) and have problems with tutors should notify CAPS staff members for additional assistance. to 30 hours per week. Although graduate students can apply for paid positions, Sanford said only undergraduate students are hired as peer tutors. He said this perpetuates a friendly learning environment among other students. “We’re a peer tutoring facility, so we’re not trying to hire Ph.D.s,” he said. “We’re not even trying to hire someone we’re setting up as
an expert. We’re setting up someone as a learner who has recently been through or going through the process of the material, and who’s really good at talking about it.” But UNM student Sienna Wright said undergraduate tutors at CAPS often explain concepts vaguely. “While they may know what they’re talking about, they can’t really explain it,” she said. “And
you really have to know what you’re teaching to be able to get that information across.” Because many professors are graduate students, Wright said she expects help from them through the classroom. But she said instructors are not always available for answers. “I would prefer to ask a

Basketball poll results released Voter registration Men picked to finish 3rd, women 6th in MWC season by J.R. Oppenheim
assistantsports@dailylobo.com @JROppenheim Some UNM men’s basketball players said they have embraced an underdog role for the upcoming season. Media members covering the Mountain West Conference gave them that bulletin board material. The Lobos are picked to finish third in the MWC Preseason Media Poll, which conference officials released Monday. UNM, the defending MWC regular-season and tournament champion, received 122 points by the 18-person voting panel. The Lobos did not receive any first-place votes. “When you lose the senior core we lost — Phillip McDonald, A.J. Hardeman and Drew Gordon — you expect things like that,” UNM junior guard Kendall Williams said during the team’s media day, referring to that underdog role. “With the recruiting class that everybody has brought, I can see how they are getting praise for that,” he continued. “We’ve brought in a really good recruiting class ourselves; we’re excited for the challenge.” Junior forward Cameron

Bairstow echoed Williams’ sentiment. “We’re a bit of the underdog, which we like,” Bairstow said. “Hopefully we’ll keep continuing to work and get better.” Media members tabbed San Diego State as the No. 1 MWC team heading into the season with 153 points and 10 first-place votes. UNLV is second in the poll with 151 points and eight firstplace votes. In the USA Today/ ESPN poll, the Aztecs and Rebels are ranked No. 20 and No. 19 in the nation, respectively. Behind UNM in the conference poll are Colorado State at No. 4, Nevada at No. 5, Wyoming at No. 6, Fresno State at No. 7, Boise State at No. 8 and Air Force at No. 9. UNM has been picked to win the conference only once during head coach Steve Alford’s six-year tenure. The Lobos have won four conference titles under Alford and are looking for their fifth. “We’ve won a lot of championships, and at the end of the year, we want to be cutting down the nets and sizing up rings,” Alford said in a press release on Monday. “We don’t go out there thinking that since we were picked third, we will play for third place.” Conference media named Williams to the preseason AllMWC team. He is the third
straight Lobo to appear on the preseason list. Williams earned all-Mountain West second-team honors last year. Williams praised the MWC for its high level of competition. “As a college player, as an athlete, you want to compete at the highest level,” he said. “I think we have one of the best leagues in the nation.” Williams joined Nevada junior guard Deonte Burton, SDSU junior guard Jamaal Franklin, SDSU senior guard Chase Tapley and UNLV junior forward Mike Moser in the lineup. Franklin received preseason player of the year honors. SDSU sophomore forward Dwayne Polee II and UNLV sophomore guard Bryce Dejean-Jones were the top preseason co-newcomers, while preseason freshman of the year honors went to UNLV forward Anthony Bennett. In the conference women’s poll also released Monday, UNM is picked to finish sixth with 97 points. The Lobos finished seventh in the conference a year ago after posting a 11-20 overall record and a 3-11 in conference play. San Diego State is No. 1 in the poll with 198 points and 22 firstplace votes, followed by Fresno State, UNLV, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Boise State, Ne-

The Associated Press SANTA FE — Voter registration in New Mexico has increased about 5 percent since the last presidential election, and independent voters have grown the fastest, state election officials reported Monday. Nearly 1.3 million people are registered and eligible to vote in the Nov. 6 general election, according to the latest figures from the secretary of state’s office since registration closed earlier this month. The number of New Mexicans who declined to affiliate with a political party when they registered to vote — so-called independents, or “declined to state,” as New Mexico election officials label them — has increased by 22 percent since Oct. 31, 2008. “The independents have been on the rise for 30 years and it just continues,” said Brian Sanderoff, who runs a polling and research business in Albuquerque. Independents account for 18 percent of voters, up from 15 percent in 2008 and 6 percent in 1984. Young people and newcomers to New Mexico are more likely to register as independents, according to Sanderoff. Democratic President Barack Obama easily carried New Mexico four years ago, and Democrats continue to hold a big edge over
Republicans in registration. About 48 percent of New Mexico’s eligible voters are Democrats — down from 50 percent before the 2008 general election and from nearly 62 percent in 1984. About 32 percent of voters are Republican, which is unchanged from four years ago or from 1984. Other political parties, including Libertarians and Greens, account for 3 percent of voters in the state. That’s the same share of the electorate as four years ago, but up from less than 1 percent of voters in 1984. The number of voters affiliated with minor parties has increased 14 percent since 2008. Elections officials typically purge voter registration rolls after a general election. There were fewer people registered to vote in New Mexico in the 2010 gubernatorial general election than in 2008, for example. As the presidential election has neared, political parties and other groups have pushed to get more people on the voter rolls. Since Dec. 28, 2011, there’s been a 6 percent increase in voter registration — 4 percent for Democrats, 6 percent for Republicans, 14 percent for independents and 10 percent for other political parties. Registration has grown about 75,000 since late last year and independents account for more than a third of that growth.

Student fulfills passion for video-game design
Ryan Leonski said he doesn’t pay attention to celebrities and instead idolizes game designers, such as Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the Zelda series. “I geek out over game developers, while others geek out over celebrities,” he said. Leonski, a UNM student and president of the UNM Video Game Developer Club, owns Subliminal Gaming, a game programming company based out of an office in his house. He also teaches a game design course during the summer at UNM Continuing Education in Los Alamos. Leonski said programmers, such as Miyamoto, have inspired and taught him how to make his own games, including the design of the tutorial portion of a game. Leonski is programming a computer game called Sky Pets, which will be released Feb. 9, 2013 and will be available to download for free and can be used on computers, Android phones, iOS system products, such as iPod and iPads, and Facebook. Leonski wouldn’t share anything more about the game, because he said it’s not yet ready to be revealed. He said Sky Cat, another computer game he created in which players have to dodge bricks or knock out other players, was prototyped in an hour and released a week later and was the inspiration for Sky Pets. Leonski said video game design requires a lot of collaboration with multiple designers, including artists, illustrators, game programmers and sound designers, and an understanding of video technology. Leonski said his first memory of playing video games was when he was 2 years old and was unable to figure out how to make Luigi, a character in the Nintendo video game series Mario, jump. His interest in video game programming began when he was 8 years old. Leonski said he settled his

Garrett Goeckner / Daily Lobo frustrations with video game design through video game programming, which allows him to create his own characters and stories. He said game design allows the designer to be creative and express his or her ideas within a structure and that games offer players a sense of agency, which can motivate players to complete the game. “It’s this sense of discovery, intrigue and to be able to have this great sense of agency,” he said. “If you fail, you’re either able to win the game because you can tell it’s cheating, or you could essentially say ‘OK I purely did something wrong,’” Leonski said. Leonski said he doesn’t modify games and prefers to build games from scratch so that he can create

every aspect of the game on his own. He said he wants his games to be seen as slightly eccentric and magical, similar to characters in Disney movies. Leonski said the process of creating a game is like having to teach something to walk, because the programmer has to create different aspects and then build on top of them to create an intriguing story. Leonski said he enjoys older games and older consoles, such as Super Mario Bros. and Nintendo, because they’re easier to work with, which allows him to use them as guidelines for his own games. He said the first game he ever made was a game similar to Mario but with a stealth aspect reminiscent of the stealth action Assistant Culture Editor Antonio Sanchez Sports Editor Thomas Romero-Salas Assistant Sports Editor J.

game Metal Gear Solid. He said he chose to emulate these games because he wanted to learn their programmer’s creation process and see how they designed their games’ tutorials to instruct players. “The reason I did this is because I wanted to learn from it,” he said. “You had to teach the player to play this game in 10 seconds with as little instruction as possible and allowing them to experiment.” The “Lobo Spotlight” series showcases current and former Lobo faculty, staff and students who do remarkable things.

Final debate sees foreign-policy sparks by David Espo and Kasie Hunt The Associated Press
BOCA RATON, Fla. — President Barack Obama sharply challenged Mitt Romney on foreign policy in their final campaign debate Monday night, accusing him of “wrong and reckless leadership that is all over the map.” The Republican coolly responded, “Attacking me is not an agenda” for dealing with a dangerous world. With just 15 days remaining in an impossibly close race for the White House, Romney took the offensive, too. When Obama said the U.S. and its allies have imposed crippling sanctions on Iran to halt nuclear weapons development, the Republican challenger responded that the U.S. should have done more. He declared repeatedly, “We’re four years closer to a nuclear Iran.” Though their third and last faceto-face debate was focused on foreign affairs, both men reprised their campaign-long disagreements over the U.S. economy — the top issue by far in opinion polls — as well as energy, education and other domestic issues. The two men did find accord on more than one occasion when it came to foreign policy. Each stressed unequivocal support for Israel when asked about a U.S. response if the Jewish state were attacked by Iran. “If Israel is attacked, we have their back,” said Romney — moments after Obama vowed, “I will stand with Israel if Israel is attacked.” Both also said they oppose direct U.S. military involvement in the efforts to topple Syrian President Bashir Assad. The debate produced none of the finger-pointing and little of the interrupting that marked the presidential rivals’ debate last week, when Obama needed a comeback after a listless performance in their first meeting on Oct. 3. The final debate behind them, both men are embarking on a homestretch whirlwind of campaigning. The president is slated to speak in six states during a two-day trip that begins Wednesday and includes a night aboard Air force One as it flies from Las Vegas to Tampa. Romney intends to visit two or three states a day. Already four million ballots have been cast in early voting in more than two dozen states. Obama appears on course to win states and the District of Columbia that account for 237 of the 270 electoral votes needed for victory. The same is true for Romney in states with 191 electoral votes. The battlegrounds account for the remaining 110 electoral votes: Florida (29), North Carolina (15), Virginia (13), New Hampshire (4), Iowa (6), Colorado (9), Nevada (6), Ohio (18) and Wisconsin (10). On Monday night, Obama said more than once that Romney had been “all over the map” with his positions. And not necessarily putting new distance between the two men. In fact, Romney offered rare praise for the administration’s war efforts in Afghanistan. The former Massachusetts governor said the 2010 surge of 33,000 U.S. troops was a success and asserted that efforts to train Afghan security forces are on track to enable the U.S. and its allies to put the Afghans fully in charge of security by the end of 2014. He said that U.S. forces should complete their withdrawal on that schedule; previously he has criticized the setting of a specific withdrawal date.
When it came to Iran, Romney stressed that war is a last option to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon, softening the hawkish tone that had been a hallmark of his campaign. And Romney barely addressed the simmering dispute over the administration’s handling of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. But the debate was hardly all sweetness and light. On the Middle East, Romney said that despite early hopes, the ouster of despotic regimes in Egypt, Libya and elsewhere over the past year has resulted in a “rising tide of chaos.” He said the president has failed to come up with a coherent policy to grapple with change sweeping the region, and he added ominously that an al-Qaida-like group has taken over northern Mali. Anticipating one of Obama’s most frequent campaign assertions, Romney said of the man seated nearby, “I congratulate him on taking out Osama bin Laden and taking on the leadership of al-Qaida. But we can’t kill our way out of this mess. ... We must have a comprehensive and robust strategy.” More than a half hour later, Obama returned to the subject, saying that Romney had once said it wasn’t worth moving heaven and earth to catch one man, a reference to the mastermind behind the 9/11 terror attacks. “You said we should ask Pakistan for permission,” Obama said. “And if we had asked Pakistan permission, we would not have gotten him. And it was worth moving heaven and earth to get him.” The president said he had ended the war in Iraq, was on a path to end the U.S. combat role in Afghanistan and has vowed to bring justice to the Benghazi attackers. He also jabbed at Romney’s having said during the campaign that Russia is the United States’ No. 1 geopolitical foe. “Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy you seem to want the policies of the 1980s, just like you want to import the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies in the 1920s,” Obama said. Obama took a mocking tone after Romney, criticizing the administration’s Pentagon budget, said disapprovingly the U.S. Navy has fewer ships than at any time since the end of World War I. “I think Governor Romney maybe hasn’t spent enough time looking at how our military works. You mentioned the Navy, for example, that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military has changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them.” The televised debate brought no cessation to other campaigning. Whatever the outcome of the final face-to-face confrontation, the debates have left an imprint on the race. Romney was widely judged the winner of the first debate over a listless president on Oct. 3, and he has risen in polls in the days since. Obama was much more energetic in the second. Monday night marked the third time in less than a week that the president and his challenger shared a stage, following the feisty 90-minute town-hall-style meeting last Tuesday on Long Island and a white-tie charity dinner two night later where gracious compliments flowed and barbs dipped in humor flew.

Letter
Obama’s blunders were on predecessor’s watch Editor’s note: This is in response to the guest column “One term is too much for Obama,” published in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo. The column reviews President Obama’s history with domestic and foreign policy, concluding that the country will be further damaged if Obama is re-elected. Editor, I would like to follow up on Donald Gluck’s letter and fill the people in on some big gaps in the information he gave about Obama’s “record.” Oops, look at that: a conservative Republican leaving out information so that his words will sway people away from the truth and to his way of thinking. I haven’t seen that since every powerful Republican starting with Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Anyway, to my main point: the information missing from the letter. 1. Gluck mentions the Russia-Georgia crisis of 2008. That is a fact. However, Obama became president of the United States on January 20, 2009. Old “run away from Vietnam” Bush was president during the crisis. Oops. Looks like Bush didn’t really do anything either, besides piss off Russia starting in 2002. 2. Gluck mentions that Obama didn’t give “moral support” to the Iranian revolution. First of all, “moral support” is nice, but it doesn’t win revolutions. Second, Russia and Iran are very big buddies, and had we done anything to help the rebels, Russia would have pounced on the chance to either make us look bad on a world front or increase its military strength. 3. Gluck mentions ALBA (Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas), which started in 2004. Oops. Looks like coward Bush is to blame again. Plus, Bolivia joined in 2006, and Nicaragua in 2007. What did Republican Bush do? Nothing. 4. Assault on religious freedom — more like separation of church and state being realized. The religious right will whine when its views of a Christian U.S. aren’t followed through, even though its views oppress other people’s rights. I challenge every one of the people who think this is a “Christian country” to look in the Declaration of Independence. It says “endowed by their creator.” Creator, not God. Not Jesus. Creator. The Founding Fathers weren’t Christian. Honestly, it’s not hard to see past the lies of these conservatives. I found out these details by spending 30 minutes researching on the Internet. It’s that easy. People like Gluck — and yes, I’m calling you out — will destroy America. They don’t care about this country. To them, it’s just a stepping stone to gain personal profit. That’s why they have bank accounts outside of America while trying to run for its presidency. That’s why they will lie to America’s people to bend them to their way, even if it hurts the country. That’s why an entire party will dedicate itself to making a president “one-term” even if it means the suffering of Americans. We aren’t American citizens to them — we’re just resources. I leave you with a situation to consider. If you were a 60-year-old politician with many ties to big businesses, and all you cared about was personal profit and not the country — i.e., you’re a member of the Tea Party — why would you care if a bill you voted on, created by your big-business friends, would completely destroy America in 10 years? You’d be making huge kickbacks, living the last 10 to 20 years of your life in luxury because of your money, and who would care about the millions of citizens dying? If you vote Republican in the upcoming elections, you are making this dream of the rich a reality. Caedmon Holland UNM student
Column
Repeal Roe, leave decisions to voters by John Tyczkowski
Daily Lobo columnist opinion@dailylobo.com Roe v. Wade must be overturned. However, the argument I make to you today is not the one that you may be expecting. Rather, I make the case that the Roe v. Wade decision was one of the most serious examples of voter disenfranchisement in recent history. With this decision, lawmaking power was placed in the hands of nine unelected, unaccountable judges, and in doing so, the democratic process which we the people rely on to make decisions on such important issues was bypassed outright. The U.S. Supreme Court is, quite simply, not equipped to make precedents with such overreaching force and detail that they have the same effect as legislation passed by Congress, if those rulings are not grounded solidly in the Constitution and its amendments. The precedent of judicial review established in Marbury v. Madison makes it clear that the court has its own limited jurisdiction as an appellate court to interpret the Constitution and clarify it as it relates to legal challenges, excepting certain cases as per Article III Section 2 of the Constitution, wherein the court has original jurisdiction, such as settling disputes between states or between the federal government and the states. A specific issue such as abortion, which can clearly not be found in the Constitution, even when reading very narrowly into the law, needs to be handed to the legislatures to be voted on publicly. The Supreme Court is perfect for things such as dealing with the finer points of interstate commerce or deciding eminent domain cases, both of which pertain
directly to clauses in the Constitution or its amendments. But such a broad interpretation of the 14th Amendment was outside of the court’s jurisdiction. The Supreme Court does not legislate public policy; it examines laws for constitutionality.
“The Supreme Court does not legislate public policy; it examines laws for constitutionality.” Now, I want to return to the issue of the grounding of Roe v. Wade’s majority opinion in the 14th Amendment. The complexities of the court’s ruling expand far beyond what could reasonably be found from any sort of reading of the due process clause, including the notoriously vague and controversial substantive due process reading employed by the majority opinion. In fact, the original ruling even specifies a trimester framework for abortion, which is the level of detail that suits a piece of legislation. It could not conceivably be found by even the widest interpretation of a then105-year-old amendment. Admittedly, the trimester framework was later rejected by the court in favor of the viability definition of when a newborn could survive outside the womb. Even so, the viability definition still contains precise medical language that has no business in a court whose job is to review challenges based in the exact language of the U.S. Constitution. Finally, it’s easy to see that one of the main reasons that the abortion debate is

so volatile and divisive in this country today is that the issue was decided for us, the voters, and without any of our input. We were not allowed to debate the merits and downfalls of legalizing or outlawing abortion, or to debate settling on a compromise position in between. Due to that Supreme Court precedent nearly 40 years ago, we never had the satisfaction of knowing that if things weren’t decided to our liking, we could work to change things. There is no accountability involved with the Supreme Court, because its judges are not elected like members of Congress. If we’re displeased with legislation that passed or didn’t pass, we can vote out of office our congressional representatives and try again, or form our own petitions to introduce new legislation. There is no such recourse when it comes to the court’s imposition of the Roe v. Wade majority opinion on the country. Essentially, the only thing that can be done at this point is to overturn Roe v. Wade. Not in the conventional sense, but to have the court declare its own ruling unconstitutional, on the grounds that the court overstepped its jurisdiction through overly creative interpretation and ended up “legislating from the bench.” The issue must be given back to the electorate so that we the people can decide on it through voting, as we should have been allowed to do in the first place.

professor,” she said. “But when you’re going to a tutor, that often means your professor is not available, so it can be hard.” But Wright said she has not encountered many tutors who can’t answer her questions. She said that although CAPS should hire more graduate students for its tutoring programs, the hiring process benefits undergraduate tutors significantly. “The benefits of hiring more undergraduate students are that it gives more jobs to them, because it’s harder finding a job than when you’re a graduate (student),” she said. Sanford said CAPS has 130 peer tutors who lead study sessions in mathematics, writing, foreign languages and various sciences. He said CAPS also offers tutors for less popular courses, such as music theory. Sanford said that after tutors are hired, they attend a presemester training course and are required to attend training meetings on Friday afternoons throughout the semester. He said that once

CAPS receives complaints against a certain tutor, the tutor will undergo advisement and further training, but if issues persist, the tutor may be fired for the following semester. Sanford said students who have problems with tutoring sessions should report their problems to CAPS so staff members can provide them with further assistance. “There is always going to be a case in which peer tutors don’t know the answer, and we don’t expect them to,” he said. “No one person will have all the answers. It’s a collaborative endeavor.” Sanford said CAPS doesn’t plan to hire graduate students for peer tutors, although he agrees that they have more mastery of the subjects. “That approach will undermine what we’re doing,” he said. “It’s our very firm belief that someone who’s more recently … gone to the challenge of learning is in a much better position to empathize with the student.”

The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — The jurisdiction of a Native American tribal court was challenged Friday by the developer of a popular glass bridge over the Grand Canyon who has been locked in a multi-million dollar contract dispute with an Arizona-based tribe. David Jin’s lawyer, Troy Eid, told a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the Las Vegas businessman should not have to fight his legal battles in the Hualapai tribal court system, saying it lacks authority to hear the case. Eid also said the tribal court is not giving his client a fair shot to protect his financial stake. Jeffrey Gross, an attorney for the tribe, denied the allegations and told the panel that Jin signed a contract allowing the operation of the Skywalk to be governed by Hualapai law. Gross argued that Jin first must exhaust his legal options in tribal court before turning to federal courts. The fight between Jin and the tribe could be worth tens of millions of dollars and stems from a disagreement over management fees and an incomplete visitor center. The dispute prompted Hualapai leaders to sever Jin’s contract. They say he is owed $11 million for fair market value of the Skywalk. Jin, however, says his rights are worth closer to $100 million. He has alleged in lawsuits that his constitutional rights are being violated. The Grand Canyon Skywalk extends in a horseshoe shape from the canyon’s edge on tribal land in western Arizona, giving visitors a view of the Colorado River 4,000 feet below. Jin invested $30 million to build it. It’s unclear when the panel will rule in the dispute over jurisdiction.

Deajanae Scurry, a forward from SDSU, was the Preseason Freshman of the Year. Wyoming forward Aubry Boehme was named the Preseason Newcomer of the Year.

The Associated Press DAKAR, Senegal — The street level of Ousmane Ndiaye’s building features a fabric shop. He and his family live in a posh apartment on the second floor. Their upstairs neighbors? His beloved ram Billal and 10 other sheep. Here his animals prance on a sunny outdoor terrace well above the commotion of buses and vendors below, and only rarely use the building’s winding staircase. Billal is fed the family’s dinner leftovers, and Ndiaye jokes that his wife is jealous of his sheep. The family even foregoes potential rental income by leaving the upper level of their building unfinished. “I could rent this place out for 250,000 francs ($500) a month, but I prefer to keep Billal and my sheep

here,� says Ndiaye, 60, sporting a royal blue boubou as he strokes the head of the sheep he hopes will become a reality television star. In a nation where sheep are given names and kept inside homes as companion animals, the most popular television show is “Khar Bii,� or literally, “This Sheep,� in the local Wolof language. It’s an American Idol-style nationwide search for Senegal’s most perfect specimen. Now in its fourth season, the show airs several times a week in the months leading up to Eid al-Adha, or Tabaski, as it’s known here. The feast of sacrifice is when Muslims around the world slaughter animals in remembrance of Abraham’s near-sacrifice of his son. In Senegal, the sheep’s ties to the important religious holiday have made them a part of many urban families in this predominantly Muslim country of 12.8 million people. Still, every family that can sacrifices a ram at Tabaski, when an estimated 712,000 sheep will be purchased for slaughter. Some 240,000 of those are in the Dakar region alone, where supermarkets are already offering scratch tickets for a chance to win a free Tabaski sheep. “The Senegalese are really into their sheep,� says Fadilou Keita, 28, who lives with six of them by night at his Dakar home. The financial analyst carries his iPad in one hand and sticks his other in the mouth of Aziz to drag him toward the weighin scale. “This is my passion.� The finalists from each region of the country now face off later this month for a chance to win 2,000,000 francs ($4,000) and the extra prestige to their future breeding credentials, said veterinarian Dr. Mamadou Ba, a consultant for one of the program’s sponsors. The TV show’s Facebook page has nearly 9,000 fans. The sheer volume of entries and its loyal viewership are testaments to just how much the Senegalese love their sheep. As the country has urbanized, many have kept alive the tradition of sheep raising. It’s not unusual to see them grazing in an urban traffic circle or seeking shade near cars at a taxi rank. The TV show “Khar Bii� follows a team of judges as they make house calls to scope out potential candidates for regional finals. Trekking down sandy side streets and up on to rooftops, the crews set off in search of an animal with both size and composure. In one Dakar neighborhood, the “Khar Bii� team ducks under lines of clothes drying in a courtyard reeking of urine until the ram named Cherif is brought out of his pen. A staffer with a face mask uses a rectal thermometer to be sure the animal is healthy enough for the competition. It takes a total of four
people to keep Cherif still while they measure him in length. The finalists from home visits then square off at regional finals, where one doting owner even brought a special umbrella to protect his sheep Dogo from the blazing sun overhead. “Some people love cats, some people love dogs. Here we have sheep,� says Abou Aziz Mare, 27, who says he spends three to four hours a day on his terrace with his animals. “I live with him like a close friend,� he says of Dogo. Samba Fall, 44, keeps seven sheep at his home in Dakar’s Medina neighborhood though his clear favorite is blue-eyed Papis General Fall. “He is like my little son,� Fall says, stroking Papis between his horns. “I prefer being with my sheep to being with people. Sheep don’t talk about insignificant things.� Some sheep in Senegal’s capital are fed cardboard cartons to line their bellies or are forced to scrounge for trash. Fall says he spoils his sheep by mixing up a medley of corn, millet, beans and sorghum. “Across the house he hears the pieces dropping into the bowl and comes to find me,� he says with a proud smile. Papis General Fall is among the nine finalists in one Dakar neighborhood when he is led out of his pen on a rope and brought past the judges before being given a bag of food to keep him busy while the other finalists are trotted out one by one to the loud beats of a drum circle. An audience in white plastic lawn chairs waves fans in the heat as the announcer calls out each animal’s measurements and owner’s name. Each ram competing on “Khar Bii� is graded on a series of physical criteria — including up to five points awarded for the symmetry of its testicles and another 5 points possible for the quality of its coat. How well the sheep marches with his owner is another 10 points. And overall size is key: Papis General Fall at 225 pounds failed to advance, and the neighborhood prize went to Alassane — a ram weighing in at 280 pounds. The victor had a snow-white coat and red collar with his name embroidered in green and yellow letters — the colors of the Senegalese flag. Even for the sheep who don’t win cash prizes, there is still plenty of love. Lamine Diop, a 33-year-old post office worker, keeps a photo of Eto’o on his cell phone. “I treat him like a brother,� Diop says of the animal named for Cameroonian soccer player Samuel Eto’o. “A sheep is a part of the family. When the sheep is sick, it’s like a member of the family is sick.�

Comedy’s desperate candidate cavorts in corruption by Justino Brokaw
in modern American politics. Hardman and his cast have caught on to that spirit, and the fun they have onstage is infectious. When Mamet first established himself as one of America’s foremost playwrights, his work often explored themes of masculinity, competition, business and bravado. He also has a special talent for capturing the ways that people — especially people in positions of power — bend the rules for their own benefit. So it’s a wonder his plays haven’t directly addressed politics before, and “November” proves he’s ideally suited to the task. President Smith is one of Mamet’s finest comic creations, a blustering blowhard who is anything but politically correct and has a penchant for the rapid-fire dialogue that made Mamet famous. Actor Matt Heath is a dynamo in the role, filled with a nervous, madcap energy that never runs out as he tosses off endless punch lines and zingers with ease. His inept President Smith may not be an especially admirable character, but he’s utterly entertaining. The rest of the Vortex cast is also great, but it’s Heath who has to do the heavy lifting, and he doesn’t disappoint. John Wylie as Archer Brown is an
culture@dailylobo.com
With an impending election, today’s political climate is ripe for satire. Vortex Theatre answers the call with its timely production of David Mamet’s “November.” Written in 2007, “November” is a darkly funny comedy about a president fighting to win a second term that nobody wants to give to him. Director John Hardman and his cast gives the Vortex production of “November” a blistering pace; the laughs come fast and rarely let up. Set a few weeks before Election Day, the play takes place entirely in the Oval Office as incumbent President Charles Smith does everything he can to find funds for his faltering re-election campaign. Extortion, blackmail and threats of imprisonment are all on the menu for the unabashedly corrupt president, who insists he “can’t be convicted of a crime, because my vice president … what’s his name? … will just pardon me.” Lines like these are commonplace, as President Smith frequently says things that seem absurd at first, yet are actually uncomfortably plausible. Mamet seems to take special joy in picking apart everything that’s ridiculous

excellent foil for President Smith as his closest aide, a man who seems to take genuine pleasure in telling the president all the ugly truths he doesn’t want to hear. Heath and Wylie work well together, bouncing jibes, jabs and witty retorts back and forth like professional pingpong players. One of the president’s chief schemes is to extort money from the “National Association of Turkey and Turkey Product Manufacturers,” and Harrison Sim is hilarious as the association’s representative, a seemingly reasonable man until his precious fowl are threatened. Georgette Reeves is also entertaining as President Smith’s lesbian speechwriter. All told, Hardman has assembled a terrific cast, and they achieve the difficult task of making Mamet’s words sing. As an unapologetic comedy, “November” probably won’t help anyone decide who to vote for. But at a time when politics seem to be everywhere and satire is especially poignant, Mamet’s “November” is a terrific dose of just that. Though the Vortex production finds the climax of its farce just a touch too soon, it’s for the most part a fantastic ride and a welcome distraction.
Alan Mitchell Photography / Courtesy photo President Charles P. Smith (Matt Heath, left) and Chief of Staff Archer Brown (John Wylie) urge speechwriter Clarice Bernstein (Georgette Reeves) to write a glorious speech that will get the president re-elected in the Vortex Theatre’s production of “November.” The politically driven “November” adds satire to our current political climate.

Fashion Q&A
Alayna Pounds, freshman
“I’ve always been a colorful person, but I try to go within the same spectrum,” Pounds said. Pounds said her colorful approach to fashion leans toward international cultural styles. Favorite trend: “In a lot of other countries, especially in Asian countries, they like to blend different patterns. I feel like over here they’d be considered tacky, but I’m not afraid to be tastefully tacky.” Least favorite trend: “I don’t like neon. I like some neon things, but the neon purses are blinding. I think that’s the most popular thing right now.”

“I think being comfortable is really important to me,” Hartshorn said. “I kind of try and be honest with myself in terms of what I like to wear.” Hartshorn said his hunt for comfortable clothes often leads him to trendy thrift stores. Favorite trend: “Western shirts with regular pants. I kind of don’t really follow trends, I don’t seek them out. I’ve been wearing these kinds of clothes since I was an undergrad, so yeah, western shirts have always been trendy.” Least favorite trend: “I try not to follow (trends) too much — even skinny pants are trendy. I’m 36 and I used to wear pants like that in grade school … It bothers me when you see people who Jonathan Hartshorn are obviously really not comfortable in their clothes.”

Mummy maintenance a sight to see in Pennsylvania by Kathy Matheson The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — The Penn Museum is unwrapping the mystery of mummy conservation, giving the public an unusual close-up of researchers’ efforts to preserve relics from ancient Egypt. Human and animal mummies, as well as an intricately inscribed coffin, are among the items undergoing treatment and repair at the Philadelphia institution’s newly installed Artifact Lab. Housed in a special gallery, the glass-enclosed workspace lets visitors share in “the thrill of discovery,” museum director Julian Siggers said. “It demonstrates to you the work that’s actually being done behind the walls of these galleries,” Siggers said. Visitors can watch staff members use microscopes, brushes and other tools of the trade to inspect, study and preserve items including the mummy of a 5-year-old girl, several human heads, a colorful but damaged sarcophagus and a painting from a tomb wall. Flat-screen monitors display magnified views of the relics as they are being examined. Conservators will also set aside time twice a day to answer questions from the public. The archaeology and anthropology museum has identified 30 objects from its 42,000-piece Egyptian collection to be conserved during the evolving project. Many of the lab items have not been exhibited

mummy could be displayed. Also undergoing study are hieroglyphic-inscribed slabs of wood that comprised the coffin of an Egyptian named Ahanakht, circa 2000 B.C. Conservation efforts led researchers to discover hidden inscriptions on the seams, said David Silverman, the curator

Head conservator Lynn Grant said staff members continuously experience a sense of wonder as they work with historical artifacts. “It is a delight, with this new space, to be able to share that with our visitors and give people an idea of what’s going on behind the scenes,” she said.
