High school grads choose to stay home by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
Graduates from Albuquerque high schools are increasingly attending UNM rather than schools out of state and simultaneously choosing to live off-campus, according to data provided by the offices of Enrollment Management and Student Housing. Ten percent more Albuquerque high school graduates — including high schools in Rio Rancho — have attended UNM since the beginning of the recession, according to Enrollment Management. This is an increase from 1,517 in 2007 to 1,685 in 2009. The increase in Albuquerque graduates at UNM coincides largely with the 5.6 percent enrollment increase seen campus-wide, said Terry Babbitt, associate director of the Office of Enrollment Management. Also, the percentage of Albuquerque high school graduates in oncampus housing increased sharply between 2005 and 2007 but fell just as sharply between 2007 and 2009. In 2007, 44.5 percent of on-campus residents were from the Albuquerque metro area compared to 31.6 percent in 2009, according to Resident Life and Student Housing data. In the same five-year
period, 364 more students lived on campus. Babbitt said while the recession may prompt Albuquerque seniors to opt out of leaving the Duke City for higher education, that doesn’t mean they’ll also choose to live off campus – with their parents or otherwise. “If you’re a guy who’s looking at $30,000 a year in tuition and room and board (out of state) … you’re still saving money,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean you’re going all the way in staying here and staying at home. It’s kind of a more complicated economic question.” Babbitt also said the majority of UNM’s record enrollment increase comes from out-of-state students who typically stay in residence halls. “I think the economy impacts our enrollment in these times,” he said. “There’s no question, but the bulk in our growth … came from out of state places. Those people definitely stayed in the residence halls, so that’s a big thing for us economically.” RLSH Director Patrick Call said the economy may have been a factor in the decrease of Albuquerque high school graduates living on campus, and RLSH data has shown students who live on campus get higher grade

United Way campaign goal set to $1 M by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
Nonprofit organizations around New Mexico may soon see a boost in funding — even in hard economic times. Faculty, staff and students are teaming up for the annual UNM and United Way campaign called “UNM Lives United,” which began Monday. United Way is a national nonprofit organization that raises funds for issues such as education and health care. This year, UNM’s goal is to raise $1 million for the organization. Jenny Shroba, student liaison for United Way, said the University will try to meet their goal by selling paw print cutouts for a donation at coffee shops and eateries around campus. Shroba said this event allows the UNM community to pitch in towards the goal. “The University has a goal of

raising $1 million dollars,” she said. “That’s kind of a daunting sum for students attending the University, so what we’ve discovered works best is having paper paws. If you donate $1, you get a paw and you can write your name on it.” Shroba said 2,000 paws were sold last year in three weeks. Her goal for students this year is to sell 5,000 paws in November. She said paws will be available by next week. Shroba said the paws will be posted all around campus — at the SUB, Starbuck’s and the Student Resource Center Commons area. “It’s just a visual representation of how students are contributing to the cause,” she said. This is the second year students are supporting United Way with paper paws, Shroba said. United Way works with UNM alumni, faculty and staff each year, but last year United Way wanted students to get involved with the
fundraising efforts, as well. United Way representatives came to the ASUNM Community Experience office to look for volunteers, she said. “I think the UNM alumni and faculty always do a United Way campaign because — let’s be honest — they’re the ones who have the big paychecks to do so,” she said. “Last year (United Way) really wanted the students to get involved so they contacted me, and we came up with the idea for the paws. It was so successful last year that we’re pairing up with them again this year.” Shroba said the event last year raised just shy of $1 million. Doug Brown, dean of Anderson School of Management, is a co-chair for UNM and United Way. He said representatives from all areas of campus will make the United Way fundraising campaign

Daily Lobo: What do you study? Galen Billings: I’m a freshman, man. I haven’t really gone in any direction right now, but I’m thinking journalism. DL: I’m studying journalism myself. So what do you like best about the University? GB: The location. It’s really convenient for me. I mean, born in Albuquerque, been here the whole time, figured I might as well stay here. Plus, we got a really, really good faculty from what I’ve seen so far. DL: What kind of music do you like? GB: I’m an old punk rocker, man, I mean, Bad Religion (and) Rancid. A lot of the old bands, you just don’t see any more. I really appreciate punk rock myself. DL: What’s the most exciting thing you’ve done this semester? GB: I think this semester the most exciting thing I’ve managed to do is not die while driving 90 down the interstate trying to get to school on time. DL: How often do you do that? GB: Once a week — it’s too much. DL: Do you like to travel? GB: Oh yeah, a fair bit. I’ve got a lot of family spread

Biggest chunk of the family’s up in Scotland, so I went and saw them over the summer. We’ve got a large chunk of the family out in Russia. I’m going to go see them over Christmas break. DL: That’s cool. Where in Scotland? GB: We’re a big Glasgow family. DL: Oh, I have some friends in Glasgow and in Edinburgh. GB: (in Scottish accent) Edinburgh! You’ve got to speak with the brogue, lad! If you don’t speak with the brogue, you’re not a Scot! DL: What parts of the Scottish culture do you think you represent the most? GB: Well let’s see‌ My grandfather would hit me if I didn’t say ‘strong work ethic,’ but that’s a lie‌ Probably just trying to be as outgoing as possible man. I mean, it doesn’t matter if you’ve had a shit day, you should try to get along with folks, right?

News in brief CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas— A small plane with four people aboard is missing in southern Texas after vanishing from radar shortly after the pilot reported encountering turbulence. A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman says the last known position of the twin-turboprop Beechcraft King Air was about 40 miles from Corpus Christi. It vanished from FAA radar before noon on Monday. FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford says the plane was flying from Uvalde to Leesburg, Fla., when controllers at FAA’s Houston Center noticed it was losing altitude. Lunsford says the pilot reported that turbulence was making it difficult to maintain his altitude of 25,000 feet. Radio and radar contact

was lost shortly thereafter. BOSTON— One of six Harvard Medical School researchers who became ill after drinking coffee laced with a toxic chemical says he does not see how it could have been accidental. Matteo Iannacone (mah-TAY’-oh eye-a-nah-KOH’-nee), a postdoctoral fellow, told The Associated Press on Monday that he immediately noticed a “weird” taste when he took a sip of an espresso he poured from a coffee maker near his research lab on Aug. 26. Within moments, he felt dizziness and a rapid heartbeat but says his symptoms cleared rapidly. Iannacone was informed last week that toxicology tests showed the coffee was laced with sodium azide (az-IDE’), a chemical
preservative that is used in many research labs in the building. He says he has no idea who might have been responsible but is certain it wasn’t a joke. Harvard University police are investigating. TEMPE, Ariz.— Arizona State University police say a graduate student fatally shot himself in a professor’s office. ASU police commander James Hardina says the shooting occurred about 11:40 a.m. Monday. Police say the student was apparently talking with a professor when he pulled out a gun and shot himself once on ASU’s main campus in Tempe. The name of the student has not been released.

point averages. “Enrollment has continued to go up, so I don’t know if these students chose to stay at home or chose to live somewhere else off campus,” he said. “Students who live on campus graduate at a higher rate and have a higher GPA. A lot of it plays into the type of community they live in and their ability to be on campus at all times.” Joel Nossoff, director of Freshman Learning Communities at
UNM, said that it’s debatable whether there’s a positive correlation between grades and place of residence. “You can’t say for certain that that’s cause and effect,” he said. “There is a correlation between family income and grades. There is a correlation between family income and residence halls, and so we don’t know for sure if there’s a self-selection factor. If there’s a cultural factor that comes in, that creates that.”
However, Nossoff said living on campus encourages students to participate in extra-curricular activities and, especially, co-curricular activities, which he said are some of the most valuable experiences for college students. “For commuter students, it is generally more of a challenge to become engaged in their education, and that is a factor which is very important for academic success,” he said.
successful. Even in tough economic times, he said, UNM will still make their goal of $1 million. “The economy is going to add to the challenge, but I feel confident we’ll make our goals,” Brown said. Vice President for the Athletics Department Paul Krebs, also a co-chair for UNM and United Way, said all employees will receive packets asking for donations. He said donating to United Way benefits the entire state. “United Way serves over 100 nonprofit agencies in central New Mexico — from at risk children to elderly victims of violence and neighborhoods,” he said. “They do a tremendous job in so many ways.” Krebs said donations can even be made to the New Mexico nonprofit of someone’s choice through United Way with no additional fees, including Agora Crisis Center, Camp Rising Sun and the
Children’s Hospital. Krebs said he supports fundraising for United Way because it will help important programs in the Albuquerque community. “Any time we can help make the community a better place — whether it’s through volunteering our talents, time or money — it’s a chance for our University community to give back and make a difference in the lives of others,” he said. Brown said helping with this fundraising effort should be a top priority for the UNM community because it directly affects programs that are important to students and staff. “Often people think of ‘those in need’ as being someone else, somewhere else across town or wherever,” Brown said. “My focus is that the need is right here — among us, among faculty and staff and students. Many of us have needs in our own families.”

From the web In “Boom box man is an asset, not a distraction to students,” published Monday, student Eric Knowlson said that a UNM professor unfairly sent a formal complaint to the University about the “boom-box guy” and his loud music, even though the guy turned the music down at the professor’s request. Some students thought the professor was wrong, while others admitted they wouldn’t mind some peace and quiet. by ‘robert’ Posted Monday “I agree with you totally. Why should we be concerned with what used to be the reason for the existence of a University — learning? At the same time, I think we should encourage more and more skateboarders to continue to come on to the University grounds and give a push to the process of destroying the fabric of the institution. Tripping over broken concrete while listening to the boom box blast out its mindless noise are means for me to know that UNM is indeed devoted to academic excellence.” by ‘Roshan’ Posted Monday “Let us file a formal complaint against the professor for overstepping his boundaries and ‘speaking for the student body’ when actually he is just an egotistical jerk. Who is this guy, anyway? Let’s set up some subwoofers next to his office.” by ‘Carlos Rael’ Posted Monday “I am a deep house music lover, and, well, there’s a lot to complain about here on campus. Why doesn’t that professor who complained try to walk in our shoes or, better yet, dance in them? I enjoy techno boom boom guy; I love to dance when I walk by chatting with all the great folks that gather around for some midday soul upliftment, a sharing of hugs and appreciation for house music. Tuition has been going up every year from 5-7 percent since I’ve been here. Professors get shafted on pay raises, yet coaches beat up their staff and make millions and still coach after beating up their staff members. If I were a professor, I would be complaining on the whys of this. UNM takes in millions from the lottery, yet always shafts the most important people — professors, TAs, staff and students. So leave the techno boom boom man, and let us enjoy what little solidarity we have left.” by ‘Nick’ Posted Monday “While I agree that UNM has much bigger things to worry about than Boom Box Guy, I have to challenge Knowlson’s assertion that ‘many UNM students … would be horrified to see the music leave.’ Not me! Boom Box Guy is imposing his musical tastes on everyone who walks by the SUB and is monopolizing the soundscape of a very nice outdoor area. This wouldn’t be so bad if he set up the boom box a few times a month, but it seems he’s out there almost every day. That means he’s denying students who don’t like house music the opportunity to enjoy the shaded trees and benches above Smith Plaza. If you like house music, put some on your MP3 player and rock on — don’t make me listen to it on every trip across campus.”

Harris has options for rescuing University’s strained budget Editor, This is an open letter to David Harris, UNM executive vice president and former UNM interim, aka “acting” president: Dear Dave, Given the fiscal crisis at the University, I’ve been batting around some ideas about cost cutting and fundraising over the next year or two. To be sure, I’m not a financial wizard like you — I don’t think I could even imagine a scenario in which I could simultaneously collect both a salary and retirement benefits from the state of New Mexico (You’re a genius!) — but I hope you’ll at least give my ideas some consideration.

and give me a much-needed break from the lies and propaganda that I see on the news. Man, was I wrong. Not only did my teachers not know about the true teachings of Islam, they acted like cheerleaders for the so-called War on Terror. I had one professor compare the Prophet Muhammad to Adolf Hitler. Then a couple of days after that, another professor told a class of scared Christians that Islam teaches terrorism. And so here I am in the middle of another semester listening to
the same lies. I sometimes find myself asking, “Did my professors of Islam study the religion at the University of Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib?” The only knowledge about Islam that is being passed on to non-Muslim students is fear and hatred. Maybe one day common sense will prevail and UNM will hire Muslims to teach classes about Islam.
— Sell naming rights to President Schmidly. — Sell naming rights to the school (e.g., “Jamie’s University”) — Lease drilling rights to the North Golf Course. — Replace toilet paper in all restrooms with copies of Dick Peck’s golfing books. — Urge faculty to sell online porn in lieu of giving them raises. — Pin a meeting tax on everyone who calls one. — Increase prices on everything in the Bookstore that isn’t a book. — Hire only faculty who have advanced degrees from the University of Phoenix. — Sell the soul of the University to Satan with an option to buy it back when the recession is over. — Raffle off the English Department.
— Sell the seats in University Stadium that have never been occupied. — Charge faculty a “licensing fee” to teach their classes. — Sell all the books in the library before they are available in digitized versions anyway. — Metal detectors for loose change around the Duck Pond. — Replace the police department with Hells Angels, like the Stones did at Altamont. Let me know if any of these ideas result in a significant budget relief. If so, I hope you can find a way to give me a raise. I want to retire as soon as possible, so I need to increase my retirement benefits, but I really don’t want to double-dip like you have apparently had to do.

Local markets give students healthy options by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo
Harvest season is winding down, but students can still buy local food and support the local economy. Nolina Bryant, owner of Nolina’s Heavenly Organics farm, said purchasing locally grown foods is better for everyone all around. “Most produce is shipped far to be available in the grocery store,� she said in an e-mail. “When you buy local, you are reducing pollution and fuel consumption. The produce is harvested recently, hence has better flavor and more nutritional content.� Finding local foods is relatively easy for about half to three quarters of the year, Bryant said. But around late fall and winter, buying locally can be challenging. “I highly recommend local author Deborah Madison’s cookbook Local Flavors,� Bryant said. “She tells how to shop at farmers markets and create a meal, and the recipes are yummy. In addition, Barbara Kingsolver tells, in her book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, of her family’s experience eating locally for one year, and the challenges of doing so in the winter.� Michelle Posey is an intern at Los Poblanos Organics, which has farm locations in the South Valley and Los Ranchos. Posey said certain vegetables grow best during fall
and winter. “Right now the vegetables that are in season are winter greens such as chard, kales, Asian greens, bok choys, pak choys (and) tat soys,� she said. “Also there are lettuce mixes (and) spinach, and then you’ve got all your winter squashes and gourds — acorn squash, butternut squash. And we’ll even be pulling out some radishes.� Posey said buying locally and seasonally is something students can participate in, even in November when most of the farmers markets have ended for the season. “La Montanita Co-op is fantastic about placing local foods in their store year round,� Posey said. “If you go there, they will generally purchase the food cheaper and sell it cheaper because it supports the farmers. You’re definitely putting money into your local economy if you’re doing that. And in terms of physiology it is much better to eat locally in terms of health and your body is able to adjust to it better.� Another option for students is the Community Supported Agriculture program, which provides customers with a box of freshly grown fruits and vegetables on a regular basis throughout the year, Posey said. “People can come and purchase a fresh box of produce,� she said. “Basically you purchase a certain amount of money and every week you get a
box of produce that is mostly seasonal. And you can do it every other week. And that’s a really affordable way for students to shop and get local produce. There are at least four of them around the city.� To find locations to purchase produce boxes, visit LosPoblanosOrganics.com. Bryant said she also recommended getting to know the farms and farmers around Albuquerque because they are always looking for people to help in exchange for food. “There are many farms around here who love volunteers to come help them in exchange for produce,� she said. “Do some weeding and harvest your own salad. Many people visit my farm on a weekly basis, and not only do they enjoy the produce, they comment that it is therapeutic, as well.� Marie St. Claire, associate director of Student Health and Counseling, said she was at the Lobo Growers Market on Saturday to promote student health and better eating habits in students. “I think they can start in small steps. By eating fresh fruits and vegetables is a huge step for a college student,� she said. “I think cutting out the junk food and the processed foods — the Cokes — I think there are steps they can take, but maybe not the whole package while they’re in college.�

Courtesy of DreamWorks Pictures Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat are scared awake after hearing a noise in “Paranormal Activity.”
‘Paranormal’ a suspense-filled fright fest by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
Suspense is the scariest part of the film “Paranormal Activity,” which follows the supernatural happenings of a young couple. Katie Featherston has been haunted since she was 8 years old but recently noticed an increase in strange nighttime activity. Micah, her boyfriend, proposes they film the commotion to get a better look at what is actually happening. Needless to say, the couple notices eerie things on the film, which escalate over time. A quarter of the way into the film, the couple calls a psychic who reveals their problems are not with a ghost, but with a demon. With this realization comes the movie’s biggest issue: the viewer’s willingness to suspend disbelief. The film, at the beginning, claims to be authentic and maintains this charade until the end when a disclaimer states the film is fictional. The movie also lacks proper opening and ending credits, which add to the film’s authentic feel. However, those who cannot suspend their disbelief for the course of the film will be bored and annoyed

WHERE INTELLIGENCE GOES TO WORK
®
with the film’s supernatural themes. Some of the effects are low budget and corny, but may either startle or turn off the viewer depending on his or her willingness to believe what’s happening in the film. However, with the strongest effects, such as flying bodies or mystery footprints, the film shines and scares the audience. Another solid sell of the film is the acting. While not Oscar-worthy, it is appropriate for the setting. The main players are no-name actors who embody the comfortable life of suburbia unsettled by the supernatural.

Several times during the movie, viewers screamed out loud during the film’s most intense moments, which is a good indicator of the film’s horror level. Ultimately, the film relies on the preferences of the viewer. Should the audience care for the demon mythos and be able to suspend its disbelief, it will find “Paranormal Activity” to be the best scary film to watch this Halloween.
