Study explores effects of media violence by Julie Wilmes Daily Lobo
Media violence can’t be avoided in today’s society, thanks to video games, films and music, according to a study by UNM professor of pediatrics Victor Strasburger. Strasburger’s study found that media violence has led to an increase in adolescent aggression. The study also claims that television, movies and music videos normalize weapon use and make violence seem glamorous. “Violence is more prevalent in the internet age, and there has been a surge in media in television and movies in the last few decades,” Strasburger said. “Take the
violence shown in the James Bond movie ‘From Russia with Love’ in the 60s, and compare it to movies like ‘Inglourious Basterds’ which is rated ‘R.’ A couple of decades ago, it would have been ‘NC-17.’” According to the study, continuous exposure to violence increases acceptance of using violence to solve problems, and children are being exposed to much of this violence in rap music. “Also, with today’s music becoming increasingly violent, especially rap music, the issue raised is whether or not it is okay for younger teens to listen to the music,” the report stated. “Not all rap songs are degrading and violent, but these songs that are okay are drowned
out by the ones that center around violence and gives the genre a bad reputation.” According to Strasburger’s study, people who have to act violent in video games may be more violent in the real world. Junior Jessica Marshall said media violence is to blame for many of society’s problems. “I feel like media violence in games and television desensitizes us to the truth of how horrible violence really is and the effects it has on other people,” Marshall said. “It glamorizes criminal behavior and encourages the idea of the police being the ‘bad guys.’” Christopher Holden, an

The UNM administration is gladly accepting federal stimulus funds to replenish half of the Instructional and General budget cuts, but the University is also looking past the one-time stimulus package to next fiscal year, when the government might not be so generous. House Bill 17, which passed at the New Mexico State Legislature’s special session this month, hands down a 4 percent cut for I&G funds and a 6.5 percent cut for “below the line” programs, like the ethnic centers and other special projects. Governor Bill Richardson has 20 days to approve HB17. However, half of the 4 percent I&G cuts will be supplanted by federal stimulus funds, making the total cut $3,751,780 out of an I&G operating budget of about $187.5 million for UNM, the Health Sciences Center and the branch campuses. Because the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is a one-time stimulus package, state legislators and UNM budget office employees are anticipating several fiscal years of financial hardship. Marc Saavedra, director of government relations at UNM, said public education and higher education might see cuts in Fiscal Year 2011. “Unless for some reason revenues get better — if for some reason they start having revenue enhancement bills that generate additional revenue — you’ve got to find money somewhere to replace that stimulus money, whether it’s public schools or higher ed.,” he said. Saavedra said a historical example supports his bleak projection. “In about 1983, they refer to it as ‘the bottom fell out’ of the New Mexico state economy,” he said. “Gas
was down, gross receipts was down, unemployment was up, so the bottom fell out … They had to make cuts and they had to increase taxes. That tax structure became a very strong revenue source for the state of New Mexico. That took about a good 10 years to get back to where they were in 1983.” As a result, Saavedra said the University and the state need to be fiscally responsible in the coming years. “We still need to keep in the back of our mind that it’s non-recurring money,” he said. “We’re not going to fool ourselves into thinking this is recurring money. It’s stimulus money. It goes away.” In his Monday-morning message, President David Schmidly said Provost Suzanne Ortega and his administration have anticipated budget cuts and are creating possible budget scenarios to cope with the problem. “The Governor has (20) days to consider this solvency plan, but now is the time for us to finalize scenarios for consideration by the Regents,” Schmidly said in his message. “Provost Ortega and the deans have been planning for the inevitable for several weeks. Our goal is to preserve as much as possible services that impact students.” As for the 6.5 percent cut to special projects, the ethnic centers are guaranteed protection and the UNM administration will collaborate with directors and project managers before the cuts are implemented, said Saavedra. “We’ll keep the ethnic centers harmless. It’ll be a process that has deans, directors (and) project managers,” he said. “All of them will be involved in how to implement that. It won’t be done in a vacuum.”
Grant aids autistic children by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
The Daniels Fund awarded a $15,000 grant this month to support a summer camp for children with autism in New Mexico. UNM’s Center for Development and Disability organizes Camp Rising Sun, which serves more than 80 children ages 8 to 13 in two summer sessions. With the $15,000 grant, CRS can hold three camps of the same length in 2010. One session will be specifically for adolescents, said Sharon Cruse, assistant director of the camp. “With the addition of the adolescent camp, we are going to serve more kids of a different nature next

summer,” she said. “We want to serve as many people with autism as possible.” At the camp, children with developmental disabilities learn social and behavioral skills, Cruse said. “It’s the basic summer camp experience, but what we are finding is that these kids take the independence and the social skills they have learned back to their everyday life in school and try new things,” she said. “They are not good with their communication skills and their social skills, those are deficits they have, and the camp gives them an opportunity to develop those skills.” Camp founder and director Laura White said the camp gives children with autism an opportunity to have a summer camp experience
that they otherwise wouldn’t get. “The camp allows these kids to do all the things that you would do at a regular camp because we have specially trained counselors to deal with the challenges that children with autism face,” she said. “We can support the campers so they succeed at these activities and succeed in interacting with other children.” The Bill Daniels fund was established in 1997, and Daniels had a sister who was developmentally disabled, said Peter Droege, Daniels Fund spokesman. “Bill Daniels wanted to provide grants in the areas of disabilities, either developmental or physical,” he said. “Autism programs are a great

Bill addresses sexuality-based hate crimes by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
President Obama will sign an expansion of the Federal Hate Crime law today, making it a federal crime to physically attack a person because of their sexual orientation. The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act is named for two murder victims. James Byrd, Jr. was an African-American killed in Texas in 1998. Shepard was a gay Wyoming teenager who died after being kidnapped and severely beaten in 1998. Jeffrey Waldo, an officer of UNM’s Queer Straight Alliance, said passing the bill is a necessary step for progress in society. “The Matthew Shepard Act was first introduced in 2001,� he said. “Eight years later — it’s about time
Media
it passes.� UNM Police Department Spokesman Robert Haarhues said violent hate crimes are rare on campus. “It’s not something we deal with a lot here at UNM,� he said. “There have been no reported cases of hate crimes on campus either this year or last year.� However, at the national level there have been more than 77,000 hate crime incidents reported by the FBI between 1998 and 2007, Attorney General Eric Holder told the Associated Press. Haarhues said UNMPD would adhere to state statutes pertaining to hate crimes if an incident occurred on campus, but the Matthew Shepard Act would increase severity in sentencing. “We would deal with the situation according to protocol,� he said. “We would write it up as a hate
crime battery assault and present it to the district attorney. From there, the sentence would be enhanced and the convicted person would probably serve their time in a federal prison.� Waldo said the legislation will alter the national state of violent hate crimes toward people because of their sexual orientation. “It will hopefully lower the instances of hate crimes in America,� he said. “It will further protect gay, lesbian and transgender people from being victims of hate crimes.� Student Ali Ghadimi said that he was skeptical about the bill’s effectiveness because the punishment wouldn’t deter intolerant individuals from committing hate crimes. “It doesn’t seem like people that are that intolerant of those things
Sophomore Kayla Lopez said censoring the media may not do anything to prevent violence in our society. “I think to an extent it all makes an impression, but, in the end, we should know the difference between right and wrong,� Lopez said. “It’s up to your family and friends to help mold you into a good person, not necessarily the violence you see in the media.� Marshall said American culture
is changing, which means parents should monitor what their children are exposed to. Programmers also need to consider what they are putting out into the world, she said, and it shouldn’t be only the parent’s responsibility to protect their kids. “Parents can’t beat the media, so we should all work together to make it easier for kids to understand that fiction is not reality — it’s not okay for kids to act out what they see,� Marshall said.

honors professor, is teaching a class titled “Games, Learning and Society� this semester. He said parenting has more of an impact on a child’s violent nature than video games do. “Good parenting strategy should always be in place when it comes to video games and children acting on the aggressions they see,� Holden said. “Good parenting means not raising violent kids. Any parent should be involved and care about what their kids are doing.�

FROM THE WEB In his letter to the editor, “UNM’s Islam classes teach non-Muslims fear, hatred,” published on Monday, Muhajir Salam wrote that the professors in his religion classes were uninformed and prone to fear mongering, like telling students Islam teaches terrorism. Readers at DailyLobo.com responded: by ‘WHAT A LIE!!!’ Posted Tuesday “Is this the ‘Muhajir Salam’ newspaper or UNM Daily Lobo that took a poll on Fox News and how they’re biased? Who was the other writer from the past three years that had a weekly letter printed and all against every U.S. interest? Where is the proof, Salam? Did you record the professors, which surely would have been reported on Fox, and I’m sure you would have made the media circus merry-goround? Which professors taught this and do you have any other students to verify? Prove it! Name the professors!” by ‘Did DL VERIFY allegations?’ Posted Tuesday “Many of my letters haven’t been printed due to ‘unverifiable,’ ‘too controversial,’ ‘off topic,’ ‘issue passed,’ etc… and there are students who never get theirs printed. How many has Salam had this semester? Did the Lobo editor verify that professors are stating opinions that could be seen as biased and make students feel uneasy? If the editor did, will they investigate other professors who speak of politics in a math class? Everyone knows that UNM, and almost every university, is almost 100 percent taken over by leftists who openly reveal their political opinions and who lower grades of those ‘Christians,’ ‘Neocons,’ ‘Republicans’ and ‘Obama-haters.’ So, to all non-leftist students: Record your professor and then write a letter to the editor and see if it gets printed. They should be writing a front page article on it, but hell will freeze over before that happens.” by ‘A.W. Messenger’ Posted Tuesday “Here’s an idea. If you really want to learn more about your religion, why don’t you transfer to Kabul University in Afghanistan? I’m sure they have a really good class on the specific nature of your religion.”

ANALYSIS
Consumer agency bill may not clear hurdles by Jim Kuhnhenn
The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Take a hard look now. A new agency that consumers were promised would make bankers, credit card companies and mortgage lenders treat them fairly will never look as strong again. Legislation to establish President Barack Obama’s proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency cleared a key hurdle this week. But it’s already been watered down from what Obama proposed and will likely become even weaker when it comes up against higher hurdles on the House floor and in the Senate. It may even die along the way. Banks flatly oppose a new consumer agency, arguing their current regulators can handle the task. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has weighed in with a $2 million ad campaign against the plan. And some industry claims, particularly those from bankers back home, have proved persuasive with many lawmakers. Ahead lie enormous obstacles: potentially debilitating amendments on the House floor and, ultimately, a tougher Senate landscape, where Republican support is essential to passage of any new financial regulation scheme. “If they are insisting on a separate agency, a stand-alone agency, it’s going to be difficult to do a bipartisan bill,” said Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee. “I wouldn’t be interested in a stand-alone consumer agency.” The committee’s Democratic chairman, Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, has championed the agency and voiced frustration over the industry criticism. There are “all sorts of ways” to address consumer protection, Dodd said in a brief interview. He emphasized the need to re-regulate large financial institutions so they can’t again trigger catastrophic failures that ripple throughout the economy. “Of all the things we’re doing, this fixation
and this preoccupation with that one issue is a little misplaced,” he said about attacks on the consumer agency. Hints of looming pitfalls for a new consumer agency were evident in the debate this week before the House Financial Services Committee. Even there, where the president’s party holds a 42-29 edge, Obama didn’t get all he wanted. Up until the end, White House aides buttonholed individual members, fighting unsuccessfully against yet another exemption to the powers of the proposed consumer protection agency. The panel’s chairman, Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass, acknowledged later that of all the aspects of financial regulation that he is contending with, the consumer agency was politically the most difficult. Indeed, consumer advocates applauded him for preserving as many consumer protections as he did. Still, Travis Plunkett of the Consumer Federation of America called the bill “battered and bruised.” Obama had called for a robust agency to police the fine print of credit cards, mortgages and other services ranging from payday loans to auto financing. The president wanted to make banks offer standardized “plain vanilla” mortgages, simple no frills loans that customers could compare to more elaborate mortgages. He wanted to make lenders communicate with their customers more clearly. And he wanted to invest the new agency with power to examine bank books, along with the other regulators already checking banks for their safety and soundness. As the legislation stands now, all those measures are gone or compromised. The idea of standardized mortgages, which administration officials had held up as a key protection for consumers, proved hard to sell even to Democrats. In the end, it wasn’t a matter of bowing to the big banking lobbies but rather lawmakers listening to business leaders back home — the bankers, auto dealers and Rotarians who make up the fabric of local politics.
Moderate committee Democrats succeeded in exempting thousands of banks from examination by the consumer agency, though they’d still have to abide by its rules. They argued that small community banks would be overburdened with regulators and hadn’t been the cause of the financial crisis anyway. But the standard measure of a community bank is one that holds assets of $1 billion or less. There are about 7,500 such banks across the country. The committee, however, decided to make any bank with assets under $10 billion off limits to the new consumer agency’s examiners. There were also exemptions for retailers, title insurance providers, and, finally, auto dealers, although the scope of the latter is somewhat uncertain. It was the auto dealers’ exception that the White House fought to no avail Thursday. While the agency would still regulate firms that provide auto financing, consumer advocates say dealers are the ones who make the financing pitch no matter who actually makes the loan and should be equally covered. The Obama administration also wanted states to have the right to write consumer laws that are tougher than federal regulations. Facing opposition from some moderate Democrats, the committee adopted a compromise that gives federal regulators the right to preempt state laws on a case-by-case basis. In many instances, the changes had grudging support from most Democrats but passed by voice vote with the backing of committee Republicans. Ultimately, though, only one Republican voted for the final legislation. “In the end,” said committee Democrat Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri, “we have weakened legislation that the opposition is not going to support.” Jim Kuhnhenn covers economics and politics for The Associated Press.

News in brief WASHINGTON — The Obama administration warned on Tuesday that the U.S. could slip further behind China and other countries in clean energy development if Congress fails to pass climate legislation, as early signs of a rift emerged among Democrats over the bill’s costs. Energy Secretary Steven Chu told a Senate panel that the U.S. has stumbled in the clean energy race and to catch up Congress must enact comprehensive energy legislation that puts the first-ever limits on the gases blamed for global warming. While the legislation is likely to clear the environment panel, more than a dozen Democrats have voiced serious concerns about the potential economic fallout from shifting away from fossil fuels to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. On Tuesday, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Finance Committee, told the hearing Tuesday that he had “serious reservations” with the aggressive effort to cut emissions over the next decade. The bill calls for greenhouse gases to be cut by 20 percent by 2020, a target that was scaled back to 17 percent in the House after opposition from coalstate Democrats.

Autism Sarah Palin reported that she has received at least $1.25 million for her hugely anticipated upcoming memoir: Going Rogue. A disclosure statement released Tuesday discusses Palin’s finances from Jan. 1 to July 27, when she resigned as Alaska governor. Palin says she received the money from publisher HarperCollins for the book. The document only provides a partial picture of the book deal because it doesn’t cover the three months she has been out of office. Palin doesn’t elaborate on her book compensation, describing the $1.25 million figure only as a “retainer,” a word rarely used in publishing. Her personal spokeswoman, Meghan Stapleton, declined to provide more details of the book deal. “The Governor has complied with Alaska disclosure law by her filing,” she said in an e-mail Tuesday. “Now, as a private citizen, her business dealings, including her publishing agreement, are confidential.” ATLANTA — More than 22 million doses of swine flu vaccine are available now, and most Americans should soon find it easier to get their dose, U.S. health officials said Tuesday. “We’re beginning to get to significant increases in the availability,” said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at a briefing. Last week there were just 14 million doses on hand, despite initial predictions that as many as 120 million would be ready by mid-October. The government later slashed that estimate to 45 million. The slow supply trickle has frustrated Americans, who have stood in line for hours in some parts of the country. The shortage has probably increased demand, Frieden said. CHICAGO — The housing market and stocks may be looking up, but Americans just can’t shake their job worries. In a sign that talk of an economic recovery has yet to soothe a recession-battered nation, consumer confidence fell in October and came in well below what analysts were expecting. For stores, the reading is reason to worry that holiday sales might be even worse than they feared. In a separate reading, the Conference Board reported shoppers’ sentiments about the state of the economy are the gloomiest in nearly three decades. Americans reported they plan to cut back on spending, in large part because they don’t trust the job market. ~ The Associated Press

fit for our disabilities funding programs. There are so many kids that struggle with autism and so much can be done to help them understand and overcome their obstacles to whatever degree possible.” White said getting this grant shows that the CRS program has moved in the right direction since it was founded in 2006. “The Daniels Fund support is paramount to what we do,” she said. “The fact that they deemed our program worthy of their funding and
their belief in our program is huge to us.” White said Camp Rising Sun has more plans for expansion, such as a pre-school camp and family retreats. “We would really like this to be a camp that serves individuals with autism throughout their lifespan,” she said. “People should know that individuals with autism have many challenges and want to be a contributing member to society just like anybody else.”
Hate crime from page 3 would be affected by the caliber of discipline enough to change their actions,” he said. Waldo said acts of violence toward the homosexual community will be handled differently when Obama approves the bill. “There were two transgender prostitutes murdered recently — most likely due to their sexual preferences and occupation,” he said. “If the people that had done that had been caught and prosecuted under the Matthew Shepard Act, it would be different.” On a national level, the bill has social implications, Waldo said, like providing a means for transition to repealing the U.S. military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,”.
“DADT is a blatant case of institutional homophobia,” he said. “It perpetuates the idea that nonhetero identities are invalid and perverse, which negatively affects people throughout the nation, even those who have never been in the military.” Student Emily Schmeltzer said that the legislation is a good idea in theory but won’t make that big of an impact. “I do think that it is a good thing, but I think that it is becoming more acceptable for people to be homosexual in our society,” she said. “People are becoming more tolerant, so I don’t think that it will change anything.”

Sophomore Catherine Loweree seems like any other college student, walking around campus clad in a trendy, green-striped sweater on a Tuesday afternoon. Loweree, an art education and English education major, spends plenty of time studying, goes bowling with her friends and draws and paints in her spare time. Nothing about her outward appearance suggests that she’s a youth minister for the Newman Center, a parish of the Roman Catholic faith. “The main thing you have to do is not let your religion limit you,” she said. Loweree’s youth minister job begins after the academic part of her day. She spends 15 scheduled hours a week working for the church, but she said it usually comes to about 20 hours to do a good job. Lately, her work load has increased because the Newman Center is organizing a religious retreat for college youth. “It’s a lot of planning, a lot of time that you have to do, that is not recorded,” Loweree said. “You don’t clock in and clock out. It’s stuff I do on my own time. Instead of homework, I have to make sure I have time to plan things.” In an average day, Loweree will arrange for guest speakers to speak at the Newman Center or prepare Bible study sessions for other college students. She also spends a fair amount of time hanging out at the Newman Center to answer questions. “Youth ministers are also counselors,” she said. “So if a student needs to talk about something — or even really serious matters — like an actual counselor we are available for that, too.” On Mondays, Loweree arranges a conversation group to discuss controversial issues from a Catholic standpoint, such as homosexuality, contraception and chastity. “It’s a discussion group that I started where we talk about issues that we might be confused about, or that we don’t agree with,” she said. “We discuss the church teachings … and then we just talk about our opinions — do we agree with it, do we disagree with it (and) why do we disagree.” Loweree said her job doesn’t end when she leaves the church. She’s been striving since August, when
she first started the job, to take the caring nature associated with her ministry and expand it into her social world. “My faith is really important to me,” Loweree said. “I carry it through my everyday life. I’ve found I’m compassionate. I pray more. I outreach more, so if see someone is sitting alone at lunch or something, I’ll try to go and talk to them. If I see someone who is crying, I’ll go up to them and ask if they need help. I find what I do as a minister at the Newman Center, I do in my everyday life with people I encounter.” Her days aren’t only filled with religion. Like any college student she has friends of different faiths whom she hangs out with on her own time. “I’ve made most of my friends at the Newman Center,” she said. “It’s important to know that we don’t hide away and read the Bible all the time. We go out and have fun. People who meet at church will go out, go bowling, see movies and not talk about religion at all. We’re friends on all levels — on a spiritual and social level.” That’s not to say she doesn’t forget about her religion when she is away from church. Loweree said she prays about three to four times throughout the day. “Prayer can be anything you want it to be,” she said. “For me personally, I have a conversation with God. I don’t recite specific prayers. I just talk as if I’m talking to a friend. I say, ‘I’m having a really bad day today, just help me get through this day.’” Still, being a college student and maintaining the faith can be difficult at times, Loweree said. “You do meet people who look down on you, or stereotype you into those crazy, you know, really uberconservative people,” Loweree said. Despite the personal sacrifice associated with the position, Loweree said she is glad to be a youth minister. “I really feel like I know myself a lot better,” she said. “Being in this job, I can’t just say I am Catholic. I need to know why I believe what I believe. I had the chance to explore other faiths, and really decide that this is what I wanted to do. That’s kind of the approach I’ve taken with the rest of my life, too. With my major, with my friends, I really explore the situation. I’m not afraid to question, to learn and to discover.”

Eerie tales revealed by gym pool lifeguards by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo
It’s alright... your math homework can wait.

DAILY LOBO new mexico
UNM was founded in 1889, so ghosts have had over a century to come to campus, get an education and decide they like it here. They can stay to haunt the old buildings and the students that dwell in them. The lifeguards at the Olympic Pool in Johnson Gym confessed to the Daily Lobo that one of their locker rooms might be haunted. They tell of hearing faucets and showers turn on even though no one is in the building. Here are some of their personal accounts: Junior De La Cruz “Me and my co-worker George, we vacuum the pool on Thursday nights. We have to sweep those locker rooms for the therapy pool, and they can get pretty dark. I was walking through one of them and when I shut the light off, the shower came on. So I turned the light back on to see, and I looked in the showers, and these showers aren’t sensor showers so they can’t turn on by themselves. So I kind of freaked out and I just shut the door and booked it out of there. It’s kind of weird because sometimes we feel like there’s someone in there standing in that room watching you. Being in there kind of gives me that eerie feeling that you get
Zach Gould / Daily Lobo Lifeguard Junior De La Cruz reported seeing a ghost at the doorway to the old swimming pool in Johnson Gym, pictured here. It is also rumored that a ghost haunts the Armond H. Seidler Natatorium Olympic Pool and its locker rooms. sometimes. I’ve worked back in the old pool and often in the corner if you’re walking from the men’s locker room to the Olympic Pool, there’s a corner with a blue door and a fire hydrant and I swear up and down, I have seen it twice. I’ve seen an older gentleman stand in that corner with a maroon shirt on, that the janitors wear here at the Johnson facility. And he just vanishes into the wall. So I always tell people I think there’s something up with that blue door that the ghost must haunt that certain area.” Tara Brown “You can always tell at the end of the night that there is something around because things just get kind of creepy. Once the lights go out you can just feel some sort of other presence. One time I was closing up and I was going to the therapy room locker room because that’s the only place that I feel this presence, and I feel sort of out of my element. I remember doing my last sweep to make sure there was no one in there and I could hear something kind of like a humming and clanging. It sounded like someone was in there just having a dandy old time. It con-
cerned me that, as a lifeguard, I had missed someone in there. So I remember calling back in ‘Is anyone in there?’ and I turned back on the lights and there was no one in there. I immediately left because I know I didn’t just hear that. It sounded like this person was kind of younger and just having fun in there.” Linda Peirce “The first thing that I thought was scary was when I was there opening the pool really early. I walked into the therapy pool locker room, and I was going in there to turn off the lights, and I heard this woman’s voice talking really nicely and then I said ‘Oh, excuse me. Sorry.’ Then I thought to myself, ‘How is there someone in here? I just opened the pool.’ And I looked and there was no one in there but I swear I heard someone really well. There was another time where I was driving to the swimming pool really early, and I saw someone (through the window) standing on the stairs of the pool, and thought that I was late to practice. And then I got into the building and everyone was still waiting outside.”
Spooktacular costumes
Richard Au “My ideal costume would be a monk.”
Melanie Unruh “Gem, the 80s cartoon. I decided to have a party and the theme was cartoons, and I just googled some images and liked her.”
