Event offers helping hand to homeless veterans by Sofia Sanchez sanchez@unm.edu
Justin Evans / Daily Lobo Homeless veterans set down their bags and blankets before getting aid from the Veterans Integration Center event “Stand Down and Project Hand Up” on Monday. The event offered assistance to more than 400 veterans.
The UNM Veterans Resource Center hosted the Stand Down and Project Hand-Up 2010 to assist homeless veterans. The project helped more than 400 homeless veterans with VA claims, counseling, food, health, showers, free haircuts and provided a warm breakfast and dinner, VRC Director Elise Wheeler said. “We can offer a hand to those who have raised their right hand,” she said. The VRC, located in Mesa Vista Hall, teaches student veterans how to get benefits and transition from active duty to student life. The transition is tough, she said. “It’s like someone dropped all your stuff in the Grand Canyon, told you to go down to the bottom and get it, climb out the other side and figure out what you’re going to do,” Wheeler said. Student Maria Veronica Yzeta, an eight-year U.S. Army veteran, said the military is structured and disciplined, so coming to a university environment can be challenging. “We are taught not to think in the military. Here you decide what you want to do, when you want to do it,” Yzeta said. According to the VRC, veterans have about a 26 percent college graduation rate, but the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill could change that.

Gerald’s lawyer: Trial ‘inevitable’ UNM awaits ‘OK’ to by Isaac Avilucea
managingeditor@dailylobo.com
If its latest legal maneuver is any indication, UNM would rather endure potential costly court proceedings than enter into settlement discussions with former wide receivers coach J.B. Gerald. Citing qualified immunity, University Counsel motioned Aug. 25 to dismiss Gerald’s three-count complaint. Gerald claims he was punched and choked during a September 2009 physical altercation with head football coach Mike Locksley, but the University says in its dismissal motion that Gerald’s legal team has failed to “nudge their claims across the line from conceivable to plausible.” A hearing on the motion is schedule for Nov. 28 at 9 a.m. at the U.S. District Court in New Mexico. The complaint, filed July 30 and amended Sept. 16 to include Athletics Director Paul Krebs as a defendant, contends that Gerald was assaulted and discriminated and retaliated against, all charges the University denies. The original complaint named UNM, the Board of Regents and Locksley as defendents. University spokeswoman Susan McKinsey said Monday that the case is in litigation, and the motion “speaks for itself.” McKinsey couldn’t say whether the University would settle with Gerald if the motion is struck down in court. Dennis Montoya, Gerald’s attorney,
Inside the
said in a phone interview Monday that parts of the complaint could be thrown at the motion hearing. “I think if the University’s defense attorneys are doing what defense attorneys always do in civil cases — that is to try everything they can think of to get the case thrown out,” he said. “That’s kind of the standard thing to do for the defense.” In court documents obtained by the Daily Lobo, the University said that New Mexico tort laws protect public employees from liability against assault and battery claims and that Gerald relies on “threadbare recitals and conclusory evidence” to support his discrimination claim. In a response filed Sept. 8, Montoya said the Tort Claim Act only protects public employees who are acting within the “scope of his duties,” and in allegedly assaulting Gerald, Locksley acted outside of the scope of his duties and therefore isn’t afforded governmental immunity. Montoya said previously that UNM downplayed Gerald’s allegations because of racial factors. “When an African-American is in a career that he or she likes in athletics, (there’s the attitude) that ‘Boys will be boys,’ and they should not rock the boat if they are treated in a completely unacceptable manner,” he said. The dismissal notice says, “The notion that the situation at issue involved any racial component at all is highly implausible given the person complaining and the subject of the complaint are both African-American.”

Because of the motion, Montoya said, no depositions have been taken in preparation for a future trial. “It freezes all discovery,” Montoya said. This legal episode reflects just the latest back-and-forth between Gerald
and the University. Over the course, Gerald has been steadfast that Locksley punched and choked him during a coaches meeting, but a Human Resources investigation

UNM is inching closer to receiving an exempt waiver that would allow it to sell alcohol at The Pit, University Stadium and the SUB. The New Mexico Alcohol and Gaming Division recently denied UNM’s request for a liquor license because UNM representatives failed to produce the proper identification waiver. The waiver allows the University to circumvent a state law that limits alcohol sales within 300 feet of a school or church. Albuquerque City Council President Ken Sanchez said UNM’s liquor license applications raise questions regarding discrimination and public safety because alcohol would only be sold in restricted areas. “Why should other people be discriminated against because they can’t afford to purchase a

UNMPD: Wanted persons spotted at reservoir
On Oct. 13 at 11:45 a.m., UNMPD responded to a suspicious persons report near the UNM water reservoir. Police found two people north of the reservoir who matched the descriptions given by dispatch, the report said. According to the report, the suspects were identified as Guadalupe Standingcloud, 49, and Gregory Hill, 46. Police said the pair both had out-

standing warrants. The suspects were booked into Albuquerque Prisoner Transport without incident, the report said.
Man reports slashed tire in UNM parking lot On Oct. 5, UNMPD responded to a damage complaint at A-lot. A man told police that someone slashed the left front tire of his blue Ford Ranger. The damage is estimated at $150, according to the report.
The Post 9/11 Bill offers 100 percent tuition and fee coverage, a monthly living stipend and an option to transfer benefits to family members, as well as other benefits. Most veterans who attend college qualify for the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. The bill went into effect in fall 2009 and is available for service men and women who served 90 or more days since Sept. 11, according to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website. According to the VRC, about 400 students on campus use the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, a 40 percent increase from last year when the bill was enacted. Also, 200 Chapter 35 dependents, who are dependents of killed or severely disabled veterans, go to UNM. Bart Phillips, a six-year Air Force veteran, plans to enroll and study computer engineering at UNM in the
spring. He said veterans should use the services VRC offers to attend school. “They should come here. They help you figure out the benefits you have and get you back into school,” he said. “There are people here to talk to that know what you have been through.”

PPD work truck reportedly broken into, damaged
Police responded to an auto burglary report at 1818 Camino Del Servicio Road N.E. on Oct. 6 at 3:33 p.m. When UNM police arrived, they met with a staff member who said that a PPD work truck had been broken into sometime between Sept. 29 and Oct. 6. According to the report, there were no signs of forced entry, and it was unclear whether the doors were locked. The steering wheel had been damaged and wires below it were cut, the report said.

suite or sports boxes?” he said. The University will introduce its application to receive an identification waiver to the Albuquerque City Council on Nov. 1, The City Council will vote on the measure Nov. 15. If approved, guests sitting in the luxury suites and club area at The Pit and University Stadium could buy beer and wine. Sodexo, a food service company contracted to handle stadium concessions, not UNM vendors, would manage all alcohol sales and service. Laura Mason, director of the Council Services Department, said the upcoming meeting would decide the applications’ fates. She said if the city refuses to grant the waivers, UNM could take the matter to district court. “When we hear the case, we are going to hear the initial application,” Sanchez said. “I think the University will have to apply for another license to allow for sales to all the patrons at the ball games.” In an Albuquerque Journal interview, Kurt Esser, associate athletic director for external affairs, said that adding alcohol sales in suites and club-level sections rewards fans who may have Assistant Photo Editor Robert Maes Culture Editor Chris Quintana Assistant Culture Editor Andrew Beale Sports Editor Ryan Tomari Assistant Sports Editor Nathan Farmer Copy Chief Elizabeth Cleary Opinion Editor Jenny Gignac
contributed to Pit renovations. “The goal is if somebody wants to come in and enjoy a beer while watching the game, that’s what they’re going to be able to do. If it gets out of hand, then they’re going to be cut off,” he told the Journal. If the City Council approves the measures, UNM would not have to resubmit its liquor license applications with the state. “If we do support that it (the waiver) passes, I would like safety components in place to ensure that when people leave, they aren’t drinking and driving,” Sanchez said. According to the state’s Alcohol and Gaming website, UNM withdrew applications for a liquor license at the Maxwell Museum and Popejoy Hall. UNM withdrew the applications because representatives thought Maxwell Museum and Popejoy would present difficulties for controlling illegal drinking, said Walt Miller, associate vicepresident of Student Affairs. UNM sometimes allows alcohol service on campus at special events with restrictions. The restrictions include not serving alcohol before 4:30 p.m. and a requirement to serve food with alcohol.

A liquor license for the SUB would give UNM event planners control when serving alcohol, Miller said. He said that right now, an event’s sponsor controls alcohol. The new license would allow the University’s food service provider to provide, distribute, serve and monitor alcohol sales for closed events, Miller said. “It’s just for certain rooms. It is not for the whole building,” he said. “This will restrict how the alcohol will be purchased.”

mission’s investigation failed to find evidence that it violated that law and that it would “vigorously defend itself and its employees against these claims.” In November 2009, Gerald’s Maryland-based attorney Julian Haffner sent a demand letter asking for $500,000 to settle the case out of court, but UNM
declined the offer. Neither side said whether an outof-court settlement is an option, and in light of the dismissal motion Montoya said it looks to be increasingly unlikely. “We think that it’s inevitable that there will be a trial,” he said.

sexuality and adult themes causes people to become uncomfortable. She said the problem for most people is that the festival is not hidden from the mainstream. “If we were in dark alleys and ashamed, we wouldn’t have a problem,” Fricker said. Fricker said the city identified appropriately zoned areas for the festival, but none of them are conducive with hosting a film festival. Fricker said she and Adler along with their supporters are organizing a letter-writing campaign in order for their voices to be heard. They said they reorganized this year’s Pornotopia, which will include guest speakers and skits, to focus on free speech. “We are going to have a rocking good time and we are not going quietly into the night,” Fricker said. Adler said the zoning codes are overly complicated and confusing for events like these. She said part of the problem is that the zoning rules are so complicated, the city has problems enforcing them. “I feel that the city doesn’t know their own rules,” Adler said.

Organizers and supporters of an annual adult film festival were trying to promote freedom of sexual expression. But after zoning hurdles, organizers of the film festival Pornotopia had to change their plan. Regularly held at The Guild in Nob Hill, the event was moved to the Sunshine Theater downtown this year. Event creators Matie Fricker and Molly Adler said they discovered that due to building codes they would not be able to hold the event at the Sunshine. At a press conference Saturday, Fricker said the city’s zoning code has forced them to change the format of the festival. Fricker and Adler said they aim to change the way people think about adult films. They said they want to bring these films and topics out of a shameful light. “Mainstream porn fosters a culture of shame and unrealistic ideas about sex and our bodies,” Fricker said. “Pornotopia features films promoting a positive, educational and empowering erotic experience.” The city’s Code Enforcement Department did not return phone calls about the zoning exemption. But Code Enforcement Manager Matthew Conrad told The Albuquerque
Journal that the city is investigating the legality of the event. The Journal also reported that city officials gave Pornotopia organizers a map of possible event sites. Fricker said a double standard is present when it comes to movies that contain nudity. She said the movie Jackass 3-D, playing downtown about a block from where the event was to be held, contained male nudity. “If they can do it, why can’t we?” Fricker said. Darin Foster, a lawyer and a supporter, said he doesn’t think city officials are personally stopping the event, that they are simply obliged to follow the code. He said an exemption for the event seems reasonable. “The law doesn’t even need to be changed; the exemption is all they need,” Foster said. While Foster said he is a lawyer and has knowledge of some of the issues, he said he is not a representative of the organization. He said the ACLU has assisted the festival’s organizers. Fricker said they decided to double check an exemption request because they had problems in the past. She said they knew they would need an exemption from the zoning code in order to show adult content at the festival, but no one involved seemed worried. Fricker said the openness of

Readers weigh in on Palestinian reporter’s talk Speech seeks to foster dialogue, not divide Editor, An Open Letter to the NM Jewish Federation, UNM Hillel, and the Anti-Defamation League: In recent weeks, the directors of the Jewish Federation of New Mexico and UNM Hillel co-wrote a letter to two UNM departments discouraging them from sponsoring Palestinian American Ali Abunimah’s Nov. 7 appearance at the University of New Mexico. Along with several other campus and community groups, Abunimah’s talk is also sponsored by UNM student organization Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East (CPJME). The coalition’s goal in having Abunimah speak on our campus is to broaden the Israel-Palestine discussion to include the human rights of everyone in the region, not to suppress that discussion — as JFNM and Hillel seem eager to do. For the record, CPJME’s mission is “to educate, advocate and collaborate for peace, justice and the human rights of all people.” JFNM and Hillel authors write: “Abunimah is a representative of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, a global movement intent on destroying Israel and her credibility in the world … according to the Anti-Defamation League, ‘BDS is about the three “Ds”: demonization, delegitimization and applying a double standard.’ This movement is disinterested in peace, the exchange of ideas or legitimate dialogue. … This is all anti-Semitism in its clearest, most noxious form.” Who is guilty of the three Ds? Not once has Hillel or JFNM engaged CPJME in public dialogue about this issue. Instead, supporters write nasty letters to the editor and on Internet blogs attacking campus and
community members critical of Israeli policies. They employ character assassination and ad hominem attacks — typical hasbara (Hebrew for propaganda) tactics – to stifle dialogue and constructive debate. In contrast, the coalition is bringing Abunimah to our campus in order to unite all sides of the Israel-Palestine issue through dialogue about peaceful resolutions to this ongoing conflict. BDS is not about demonizing, delegitimizing and applying a double standard nor is it a strategy intended to punish the Jewish or Israeli people. BDS is a nonviolent movement that advocates the boycott, divestment and sanctioning of
“We will not back down, and we will not give in to your misleading ways.” a country that for too long has been violating international law and dispossessing the Palestinian people of their land, their civil rights and, for so many, their lives. Similar to strategies that helped put an end to South African apartheid, the overriding purpose of the BDS movement is to encourage Israel’s government to end its illegal occupation and make peace. Implicit in the BDS philosophy is the understanding that a lasting peace can only come about when all people, Israeli and Palestinian, are seen as equals with their rights fully respected. JFNM and Hillel’s false and tired accusations must be brought to light once and for all. Instead of demonizing any who disagree with Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people — a strategy that can only perpetuate conflict — the coalition invites JFNM
Ali Abunimah will speak on “From New Mexico to Palestine: The Global Struggle for Human Rights and Equality” on Sunday, Nov. 7, from 7-9 pm in SUB Ballroom B. and Hillel members to step out from behind their self-imposed separation wall and dialogue with us publicly. To JFNM and Hillel: You might not agree with our invitation to Abunimah, but know this: Abunimah’s talk, “From New Mexico to Palestine: The Global Struggle for Human Rights and Equality” (nothing outrageous or out of the ordinary reflected in this title), will go forward as planned. We will not back down, and we will not give in to your misleading ways. CPJME will not let one letter or a million letters get in the way of this event. The Coalition for Peace & Justice in the Middle East and its many sponsors will unambiguously communicate to every single person in the room that denouncing Israel’s inhumane policies is not a crime, nor is it anti-Semitic. We will take this opportunity to educate and raise awareness on the UNM campus and in the larger Albuquerque community about the Israel-Palestine issue and the BDS campaign. Abunimah personally invites JFNM and Hillel members to attend his talk on Sunday, Nov. 7 and “to ask me any questions they want.” Join in the dialogue!

Arab world uses conflict solely to attack Israel Editor, UNM’s departments of American studies and peace studies and several other “peace and justice” groups on campus are jointly sponsoring an upcoming talk given by a PalestinianAmerican journalist named Ali Hasan Abunimah. Abunimah is a co-founder of “the electronic Intifada,” which is self-described as a publication committed to comprehensive public education on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In reality, this group’s actions are far from educational. Its entire coverage and discussions are devoted to the “crimes” Israel has committed against the Palestinians. No serious or constructive discourse is to be found on Palestinian economy, politics, refugees, etc. In identical fashion to the Arab world and the Arab media, there is no genuine concern of the well-being of the Palestinians. On the contrary, the greater their distress, the more passionate and poisonous the propagandists become. The Arab states’ abuse of their Palestinian “brothers” is not to be discussed. Massacres of tens of thousands of Palestinians by Lebanese, Syrians, Kuwaitis, Jordanians, and mass expulsions from Libya, Kuwait and Iraq are not of interest as it cannot be used as a weapon against Israel. The treatment of Palestinians as sub-humans or degraded citizens all around the Arab world is not worth mentioning for them. The fact that 90 percent of the Palestinian-
Israelis are terrified by the idea of losing their Israeli citizenship and join their Palestinian brothers in the future Palestinian state (without being displaced), does not confuse Abunimah or other propagandists. Former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser blatantly expressed it saying that, “The Palestinians are useful to the Arab states as they are. We will always see that they do not become too powerful.” Abunimah and his colleagues could care less for Palestinian well-being and its rehabilitation. They solely strive for the destruction of the state of Israel. The demonizing of Israel and the obsessive accusations of Israel for every misfortune in the Arab world lead to nothing positive, but possibly to a decreased support in Israel by the American public and decision makers. Abunimah and his friends are unmistakable anti-Semites. Their obsessive attacks on Israel, predominantly by spreading falsehoods, and the portraying of Israel’s monstrosity on every occasion, are all aimed at delegitimizing the existence of Israel. To this we may add their view in regard to the omnipotent “Israeli Lobby,” and one must be blind not to see the similarities with historic anti-semitism and Nazism. It is a shame and disgrace for UNM to host such hateful events, and it is outrageous that students and tax payers need to fund the employment of faculty members who promote hateful ideas and pass them to their students.

Classics catch zombie craze by Joann Loviglio
professor Arnold T. Blumberg, who teaches a class on zombies in popular culture. “It’s kind of heartening: You hear about how old-fashioned print is dying and here’s a company creating things that get widespread attention, good-looking books that stand out on the shelf, that you want to own.� The book’s success says as much about the iconic nature of “Pride and Prejudice� as it does about the popularity of zombies, he added. “Jane Austen, and that one book especially, has become a major cultural touchstone for so many people,� he said.
Associated Press
The undead have created a whole new life for Quirk Books, the brains — or rather the BRAAAINS! — behind the monster best-seller “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.� Quirk, an independent publisher that started with a series of tonguein-cheek guides for surviving highly unlikely misfortunes, has established the hybrid “mashup� genre bending of out-of-copyright classics and horror-fied kitsch. “It has in a way become kind of a modern, or a postmodern, classic,� said Quirk president and founder David Borgenicht, whose 15-person staff works in an inconspicuous building on a cobblestone-paved side street in Philadelphia’s Old City neighborhood. “That wasn’t at all our intent. It was simply too crazy not to publish.� Ever look at something and ask yourself why you didn’t think of it first? That’s one way Quirk comes up with its titles. “When we have an idea and say, ‘If this was a book, I’d buy it,’� Borgenicht said, “that instinct is key.� It was creative director Jason Rekulak’s idea to add lumbering hordes of discourteous flesh-eaters to Jane Austen’s 19th-century comedy of manners, “Pride and Prejudice,� spawning a monstrous hit. “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,� Quirk’s first foray into fiction, debuted in April 2009 at No. 3 on The New York Times bestseller list. It since has sold more than a million copies, been translated into nearly two dozen languages, been made into a graphic novel and an iPhone game and been optioned for the big screen. “Quirk has great quality to their books and an incredible design sense,� said University of Baltimore
“What made ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’ work wasn’t just the title.� ~David Borgenicht Quirk founder and president The runaway success of “Zombies� established Quirk, a privately held company that does not release financial data, as creator of the mashup genre. It also launched a cottage industry of copycats from “Jayne Slayre� to “Little Vampire Women.� “To some extent it saturates the market, but at the same time we know what made ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’ work wasn’t just the title,� Borgenicht said. “It’s a lot more thoughtful, hard work in order to create something that will be remembered and read, that goes beyond being just a gratuitous novelty.� When the blogosphere started buzzing months before the release
of “Zombies,� Rekulak knew the company had a hit and wanted to capitalize on the momentum. He quickly came up with “Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters,� released just five months after its predecessor, which also became a best-seller with more than 375,000 copies in print. “There are discussions and articles about the (mashup) trend, what it all means, where it came from. I can say undisputedly that it came from Jason at Quirk Books, directly from his head,�said“SeaMonsters�authorBen H. Winters. Winters, who also wrote sci-fi Tolstoy mashup “Android Karenina� for Quirk, said the company’s success lies in its “clearly defined aesthetic.� “It’s parody but it doesn’t feel cynical,� he said. “They’re laid back, funny, interesting people doing laid back, funny, interesting work.� Quirk recently left the Victorian era for space, the final frontier, with “Night of the Living Trekkies� and its heroes using their science-nerd knowledge to battle zombies descending on the hallowed ground of a Star Trek convention. “All the Trekkie stuff checks out,� Rekulak said. “We have yet to receive a single angry letter — and you know if there was a problem, we’d get them.� About a decade ago, Quirk made its bones with outlandish how-to handbooks combining information and humor with clever graphic design and packaging. “The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook,� co-written by Borgenicht and released in 1999, offers funny-but-true illustrated tips on surviving shark attacks, quicksand and other implausible calamities. “It became a huge hit and got us up and running as a real company,� Borgenicht said. “It’s the best business plan ever — get a best-seller right out of the gate.�

Felicia Alexander, director of the UNM Nourish chapter, said artists such as Music is the Enemy, The Ill Motion, Until Chaos and Zach Soza will play free of charge in the evening “The music is kind of on the heavier side, which I know is not in everyone’s taste, but we really felt it kept with the theme of Pumpkin Bash,� she said. Alexander said she wants the Nourish chapter to become a campus namesake. “We want to raise money for our project and recruit members,� she said. “We also want people to know that global poverty is a huge issue.�

suggests that those who reside in hell want and choose to be there. They believetheydeserveit.Sartre’shellislargelydrivenbyguilt:Helliswhatwemakeit. Nonetheless, each character has a principle flaw and sin that are at long last revealed. Garcin is a coward; Estelle is vain,andIneziscruel.Allthecharacters, in the end, share each other’s faults. They are weak, disgusting people who deserve each other and deserve hell. These are angry, nasty little people, with theirinsecuritiesbubblingover,lashing out to get everyone else before they are victimized. The existentialist piece is considerably damning of humanity. Hell isn’t other people. Hell is just quite a bit like middle school. But why do these three people share this space? The sexual torture the characters inflict on each is considerable and detailed. The chain reaction begins with the aggressive Inez, the main instigator of most of the dramatic action. She lusts for the straight, but vain woman. This attention is sought as ferociously as it is rejected; and Estelle searches desperately for the only man in existence — a man who, in turn, rejects her through cowardice and disinterest. The chain of human denial ends with a man too obsessed with the men of his living life and too weak to accept his fate and sexual consequences. Even so, the technical ability of the actors is considerable, and it is not an easy play to do. When they all go insane, you believe it.

An extraordinary amount has been written on what happens after death, despite the fact that no one in a position to write about it has actually experienced it. That endless fascination and fear with the unknown is perhaps why hell is the perfect setting for “No Exit,� a play by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre’s hell appears as a single room with no windows, but this is a misnomer. The entire room acts as a window. The one thing the characters do more than anything else, besides trying to rape each other, is watch people and time passing on Earth — an act usually imagined for those residing in heaven. One by one, three strangers are ushered in by a valet (Rachel Leos): Garcin, a pacifist deserter (Paul Rodriguez); Inez, an oddly predatory lesbian (Amanda Machon); and Estelle, a catty, narcissistic socialite (Jessica Myers). The characters have a strange obsession with torture — who will torture them, when they will be tortured and with what will they be tortured. But this hell is a bit more subtle than fire and brimstone. In their roles, Rodriguez and Myers seem to have a problem with subtlety at times, overstating and overacting, while Machon, by enjoyable contrast, is coldly understated and driven by purpose. Leo’s role as the valet is the perfect balance of both. She left far too soon and was sorely missed.
And, boy, does the play feel long. Essentially,it’sonlyasinglescenealmost two hours long with — that’s right — no exits. It’s not uncommon for plays to be performed in one long go without a break, or if they’re three acts or more, with intermissions, they can run as long as 2-3 hours. But once they’re all dropped off and the valet disappears forever — as long as the characters are trapped in this room — so are you. The play lacks visual variety, and peculiarly placed light changes try to offset this. They’re almost artsy but unnecessary and seem to stem from a lack of inspiration.
