Groups meet to combat advisement problems by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo

The Provost’s Office is teaming up with the Board of Regents and University College to streamline advisement all across campus. At Wednesday’s meeting of the Regents’ Student Affairs Committee, representatives from the three groups outlined their plans to make UNM’s advisement more efficient. The student-to-adviser ratio in the University College is 770 to 1. Wynn Goering, vice provost for Academic Affairs, said UNM is updating advisement software and consolidating advisement centers into a centralized advisement center. He said plans to remodel the Student Services Center are in the works, which will create a unified advising area for the College of Arts and Sciences and the University College. “We have a highly complex system that we have to deal with,” he said at the meeting. “We know that we need increased access to advising and we want to do a better job of advising. We want to make sure that it is accurate 100 percent of the time. We want to make sure that it is consistent as students move from department to department.” He said going to different places for advisement can confuse students, especially when advisers provide inconsistent information. Student Morgan Matthew said she is frustrated with UNM’s advisement system. “I had to go to so many different people in different departments who all told me different things,” she said. “They didn’t seem to agree on anything, which is confusing.” The E-Progress audit program advisers use is a major source of advisement problems, said Henry Gonzalez, UNM program specialist. He said he was involved in acquiring the $2.4 million Title Five grant that is funding advisement reorganization. “E-Progress is outdated software,” he said. “It is approximately 15 years old. It is difficult to read, confusing and provides no way for students to plan with it.”

The new software program, AdvisorTrac, will work with LoboTrax, which will replace the E-Progress report. AdvisorTrac would ensure that advisers can communicate and access the same information for each student, said Annette Torres, senior degree audit analyst. “Any time a student or adviser clicks on a particular area, it opens up a more detailed view,” she said. “It gives students the ability to click on courses that they need for graduation and allows them to add (the classes) into the course planner so that advisers can see what they are planning to take in the future.” The integration of the various advisement centers into a single physical space will clarify the advisement process for students, Goering said. “About 2/3 of students will be walking to the same building to get their advising,” he said. “It will be a building, not an organizational chart.” The renovation of the Student Services Center is slated to begin in November, Goering said. At the same time, the department will be structurally remodeled. “It will be more like a management group with a bunch of different units in different divisions doing different things,” he said. “They are all important to the success of the University and have diverse tasks. But, at the particular mission of advising students, they all have to work from the same playbook and do things in similar ways in order to accomplish their mission.” Matthew said she supports both the creation of a central advisement building and sharing information between various departments. “It is a little hectic trying to figure out where to go between different open hours for different colleges,” she said. “They need to have better communication between the departments.” The University’s ultimate goal is to ensure student success, Goering said, and advisement is an important component in that effort. “Advising is not primarily about getting students to graduate,” he said. “It is about putting students on a path to get where they want to go in life.”

Students protest theater department by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo

About 50 UNM students stood outside in the cold on Wednesday to circulate a petition describing their grievances with the UNM theater department. Student Morgan Harris was among the protestors in front of Popejoy. She said the protest ended Wednesday afternoon when James Linnell, dean of the College of Fine Arts, agreed to set up a meeting with the students. In the petition, students complained about safety and some faculty members’ treatment of students in the department. “We want to address respect for students, because there have been degrading comments to students,” said Katy Bowen, co-organizer of the protest. “We want to address regard for student safety. Regard for student safety is a large one.” Harris said the students also planned a performance art piece to signify their lack of input in the theater program. “For part of the morning, we all had tape over our mouths, to say we don’t have voices,” she said. “But it’s hard to say ‘Come sign this petition. Here’s what it’s about.’ when you have tape over your mouth.” Bowen said the complaints in the petition address department

chair William Liotta and associate professor Bill Walters. She said one petition asked students to describe complaints they have against Walters. “We decided that we would gather the voices of all the students. Just throw away the rumors. Find out what people are actually upset about, what they actually want changed and then bring it back to them and then maybe they’ll listen to us,” she said. Liotta said many of the complaints against the department were unfounded. He said the students may have had trouble adjusting to the addition of new professors to the program. “There’s been a turnover of most of our faculty,” Liotta said. “The people that have come in to replace our retiring faculty are more professional. They have more international affiliations than the previous faculty, so they have different standards, if that makes sense. So that’s part of it.” Student Leonard Hughes said students have tried to voice their concerns in the past, but the faculty didn’t listen. “I think that for most of the semester there have been a number of people that have gone personally to the professor or to the chair,” he said. Liotta said students met with

him on Monday, but he didn’t realize that they were planning a protest. “There’s obviously a communication lapse here,” he said. “They never told me the seriousness of it. They had several concerns that they laid out, but that was it.” Liotta said the students told him they were concerned about what they perceived as Liotta’s negative attitude, and they also raised questions of student safety. “One of the biggest beefs that the students have with me is that they say I’m negative,” Liotta said. “But I’m not negative, I’m a realist. I know what it takes to succeed in the business, because I’ve been doing it a long time.” Liotta said safety issues are not a problem. “They brought up one thing about students slipping for one of the shows, but that just came up and it was dealt with immediately before the second performance,” he said. Harris said students were glad to be meet with Linnell. “He seemed really positive about what we had to say, and he set up a meeting with a few of us,” she said. “This is certainly what we wanted. We wanted some attention to be paid and we wanted to be listened to, and I think this is the beginning of that.”

Teenager suspected of fatally stabbing his brother by Brian Skoloff

believe it happened.� He said they “fought like every other brothers do, but they don’t fight in an unusual way.� The Florida Department of Children and Families has had “prior involvement� with the family and was reviewing its investigation, but would not comment further, said spokeswoman Elisa Cramer. According to the police report, officers responded and smelled an “overwhelming odor of marijuana� inside the home. The report said the younger boy was “lying on the floor of the bedroom near a stain of blood that soaked into the carpet.� The older brother “spontaneously uttered, ‘It was an accident, is he going to be OK?’� The boy told police “he accidentally stabbed Matthew and later placed the knife back into the knife block.� The 14-year-old died about an hour later at a nearby hospital. Prosecutors said no decision has been made on whether the teen will be charged as a juvenile or adult, and no formal charges have been filed yet. No one answered the door at the family’s single-story home in a tidy, neatly groomed neighborhood on Wednesday. The boys lived there with their other brother, Timothy, 19, and their single father, Thomas. “Don’t come up on my property,� a teenager yelled from the home’s front yard. Outside the home, a makeshift memorial formed of stuffed animals, candles and balloons left by neighbors and friends. William and Matthew were typical brothers, they said. They skateboarded together, rode bikes, played in the neighborhood and attended the same nearby high school. A.J. Wood, 16, left his skateboard deck at the memorial. He wrote on the board: “Ride the sky, Matt. RIP.�

The Associated Press CORAL SPRINGS, Fla.— Two teenage brothers were home alone in their suburban neighborhood when an argument over loud music spiraled out of control, police said, leaving one brother dead from a knife to the chest and the other accused of killing him. William Gorzynski, 15, was being held in juvenile custody on suspicion of second-degree murder in the Monday afternoon death of 14year-old Matthew Gorzynski. According to police in Coral Springs, about 45 miles north of Miami, Matthew was playing music on a home computer. William was watching television nearby and complained the volume was too loud. He told him to turn it down. Matthew refused. The two yelled at each other, then fought. Then William went to the kitchen, grabbed a 7-inch knife and stabbed his brother in the upper left chest, Sgt. Joe McHugh said. William called 911 soon after and told the dispatcher he had just stabbed his brother. “It’s actually a confession on tape,� McHugh said. “He’s actually describing what occurred. This was definitely not accidental.� McHugh said the tape won’t be released publicly because it’s considered evidence. Gorzynski’s attorney, Glenn Roderman, said William is in disbelief. “I don’t think he even believes it happened,� Roderman told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Roderman did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. “It’s something he can’t even fathom,� Roderman told the newspaper. “This is a very beautiful and wonderful family.

Letter Weh’s business skills won’t make him a good politician Editor, This is a response to Peter Zeikus’ letter, “Weh, not Denish, will stand up for hardworking New Mexicans,” that posted Tuesday on Dailylobo.com. First, I don’t think it’s fair to call the current government “her administration.” Second, I don’t see what link Peter is trying to draw in preventing state layoffs and unemployment. Is he trying to suggest the best solution to address nationwide unemployment is to create more unemployment? Third, Allen Weh is the better candidate because he knows how to run a business? Is Peter arguing that our elected officials and government should pursue profit as the highest ideal? Weh claims that the way to create jobs is to cut taxes and regulations. Interestingly enough, the overwhelming majority of economists think lack of regulation was one of the main reasons we are in this economic mess. In New Mexico, we cut income taxes in 2005 to one of the lowest rates in the nation. In fact, the revenue shortfall for this year is almost exactly the amount lost from 2005 tax cuts. Peter is a registered Republican but his ideas are unoriginal and unimaginative. He has a right to support whomever he chooses for governor, but if he wishes to sway others to his view I would suggest making a more informed argument. Diane Denish believes in a government that is accountable to the people. She wants to include all parties and interests in the governing process and craft a consensus for the collective good. She ran a small business early in her career and is the chair of the Small Business Council. She campaigns on her ideas and their strengths and refuses to demonize her opponents. For these reasons and many more, I will be supporting her for governor of New Mexico. York Seiler UNM student

Placing blame in housing bust a political pawn Editor, Over the last year or so, there has been a lot of finger pointing as to what caused the housing and ultimately the financial crisis. Many partisan pundits claim that banks were forced to make bad loans to people who could not afford to repay them, a veiled reference to the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act. This argument has no industry supported or empirical basis whatsoever and many of the pundits making this claim possess no real estate or finance expertise; approaching it as a purely partisan manner, in which they claim nefarious shakedowns by ACORN and the Clinton White House, even though no objective evidence has been presented to support that claim. The only place such claims are sourced are neo-conservative and right wing bulletins — National Review, Fox, Michelle Malkin, et al. The original act in 1977 required federally insured banks to make loans in the communities they operated in; to combat discrimination in lending based on race or geography, called redlining. Banks could still reject applications but the rejections had to be based on objective factors such as credit, income, etc. A statement in December 2008 by Federal Reserve Governor Randall Kroszner stated that the CRA in no way contributed in any substantial manner to the crisis and at maximum, less than 10 percent of lenders that fall under CRA regulations issued sub-prime loans. Another federal data study illustrated that 84 percent of sub-prime loans were issued by non-regulated mortgage lenders and 83 percent of debts were held by private, non-CRA regulated entities. Kroszner happens to be a disciple of Milton

Friedman’s Chicago School of Economics, which is a very conservative/libertarian economic position. Sheila Blair, the FDIC chair and a Republican also claimed that this “banks were forced into bad decisions” meme is a distortion. The basic definition of a sub-prime loan in this case is a loan that is made without regard to the borrower’s actual income; allowing borrower to “state” their income without any supporting documents — W2, pay stub, etc. Other loans allowed for bad or shaky credit but the main component was the stated or NINJA (No Income, No Job, No Assets) loans. A report by Lending Patterns, published in Real Estate Magazine on July 24, 2008 showed that in 2006, 71 percent of sub-prime loans were issued to non-Hispanic Whites; 40 percent were to middle- and upper-income borrowers. While there are many factors that drove this crisis, I would lay the blame more on deregulation by both Bill Clinton and George Bush; greed and a desire by banks and investment houses to take advantage of the new loan options available; and, economic circumstance. In 1999, Clinton signed Gramm-Leach, a bill that repealed the 1930s Glass-Steagull Act. The new bill allowed the mixing of investment banking with commercial banking, which set the stage for derivatives, swaps and sub-prime loans. Clinton also signed a bill deregulating commodities trading, which further added to current situation. When Bush took office, he pursued even further deregulation through weakening standards. His administration actually weakened CRA enforcement standards. His “compassionate conservatism” was encouraging the private sector to accomplish social goals. He failed to grasp that the private sector responds to profit, not social justice. While he signed the American Dream Downpayment Act to increase

home ownership and had HUD encourage Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to act to achieve this goal, he did not have the political will to create a strong enforcement mechanism to insure first time homeowners were not getting the shaft; opting to let markets resolve such issues. However, lenders such as the now defunct New Century knew that they would sell off the loans to Wall Street shortly after closing and felt that the risk would simply be passed on to someone else and therefore no bother. The argument that the CRA caused the crisis is mainly a GOP/right wing pundit talking point. While both Clinton and Bush used the CRA as a point for liberalizing capital, it was simply part of their toolbox for deregulation and allowing banks and financial institutions to run wild. Both embraced the free flow of capital, though Clinton had more inclinations towards some regulation and enforcement. Both had officials with ties to Wall Street (Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, Henry Paulson) in their administrations. The crisis was the result of poor regulation, enforcement, greed and a desire to allow financial institutions to pursue areas outside of their core missions. Add in speculation, the movement of capital from securities to real estate following the dot com bust and the 9/11 attacks and the invention of stated income, stated asset loans for would be real estate investors and budding real estate millionaires and we had a toxic soup which we are trying to purge ourselves of. So, the next time some blowhard tries to say the CRA caused the crisis, they are simply grasping at straws. That is all they have. But, maybe if they find enough straws, they can put the broom together.

Are you scared yet?

A haunted corridor with a disguised creature in the far corner are in the Primitive Fear haunted house at the Coronado Center Mall. The haunted house is open through Halloween night.

Gabbi Campos / Daily Lobo

Albuquerque scream spots leave grown men in tears by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo

Having retired from one job, Dale Ervin now spends his life doing what he loves: terrifying people. “Scaring people is an awful lot of fun,” said the owner and head operator of Albuquerque’s two largest haunted houses — Primitive Fear and 13th Street Manor. Both houses are drawing frights from attendees said event goer Teresa Lundy. “You can’t see anything, and the people follow you,” she said. “That’s scary. That creeps me out.” Participants can pay $14 for each event or $25 to see both. While the prices are steep, Lundy said it is well worth it. “It’s Halloween, you’re supposed to be scared,” she said. Ervin said both houses have a distinct feel and atmosphere for those with different tastes in frights. Primitive Fear’s back-story has the participant searching for a Nobel Peace Prize laureate through an Amazonian jungle. The haunted house is decorated with a realistic environment complete with recreations of tall trees, boggy swamps and inhuman creatures roaming around the jungle. The house-goer gropes his way through the dark passages. “This one is really dark,” Ervin said. “It’s just in your face scared and then it’s gone. Mainly, you’re moving on before the scare is done. It’s human nature, you get scared you take off.” The 13th Street Manor favors a more thematic approach to horror rather than the “jump and out, and grab you fear” of Primitive Fear, Ervin said. In the manor, the participants are exploring a haunted house that people often enter but seldom leave. The set constructions

are better than those at Primitive Fear, with an elaborate plaza that feels like the outside of a manor. The inside of the house is lit with smoky red lighting which serves to better illuminate the abandoned house and the deformed people wandering about. “We actually hired a special effects company to redo the sets this year,” Ervin said. “We hired professional actors this year. Over there they are naturally going to scare you, but then they are going to have a dialogue with you. ”

The story for either house takes a backseat once the guests enter the house, and the primary focus becomes terrifying the visitors. Primitive Fear shocks the house-goers every minute or two with hard and fast scares, while 13th Street Manor, relies less on hard and instead fills the guest with a sense of utter dread and confusion by the end of the trip Ervin said. It should be noted, people have to want to be scared to enjoy either house. After a while, the event-goer learns when to expect scares, but

this knowledge does not have to ruin the experience, Ervin said. “Some people come saying, ‘You’re not going to scare me,’” he said. “And if you come in with that attitude you’re probably right. We’re probably not going to scare you. Some people, I don’t know why, they just enjoy getting scared.” Each trip through either of the houses lasts about 12 minutes, but can take longer depending on how frightened the guest might be, Ervin said. Some visitors complain about the shortness of the trip, but

2100 Louisiana Blvd. NE Sunday - Thursday 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday - Saturday 6 p.m. to midnight $14 per house, $25 for both

Ervin said the experience inside the house is worth it. “You’re live in the experience,” he said. “In that respect it’s better than a movie, but it’s not as long as a movie, so that’s the downside of it. That exhilaration that you feel when you come out stays with you a long time.” All the actors in both houses give what little time is allotted to thoroughly scare each visitor. Ervin said it’s through the collective love of scaring people that the houses do so well. “It’s just unbelievable what some people can do,” he said. “You’ll take guys bigger than me, 6’4’’ 6’5’’ 250, 280 pounds and you just put ‘em down on the ground — just terrified. Or they take their kids or their wives and shove them out in front of (the creatures), or just take off running, and run through a wall.” And the customers love them too. Guests burst from the exits screaming one second and the next they are laughing. Isaiah Montano, visitor at Primitive Fear, said it’s fun to be scared. “It’s the rush of being scared and knowing you’ll still be fine,” he said. “It’s just a little excitement in your night.”

Halloween hip-hop show features East Coast artists by Candace Hsu Daily Lobo

“From Dusk till Dawn”

Garrett Briggs, a senior and archeology major, is giving Albuquerque a whole new way to celebrate Halloween. Briggs worked for about six months to create a Halloween hip-hop show, “From Dusk till Dawn,” which will be on Halloween night at Black Market Goods in Nob Hill. Six East Coast hiphop artists will perform in the show. “The show is supposed to be just a lot of fun with some unexpected turns,” Briggs said. The artists performing include Victorious, Wisemen: Kevlaar 7 and Bronze Nazareth, Nigel Prime, Uephoric and DJ Jimi B. This is the first time any of the artists have performed in New Mexico, Briggs said. DJ Jimi B, one of the artists performing, has been a DJ for 20 years and also works with the group Government Cheese. “This will be the first show Garrett and I will be doing together,” DJ Jimi said. “I work with all types of music but I usually use the hip-hop techniques. DJ work caught my interest when the original hip-hop exploded in the late 80s. The idea of manipulating sounds really appealed to me. It was modern and really exciting. Being a musician, I find that the sampling and techniques of DJ work is most addicting. The art form of being a DJ encompasses so much.” The purpose of the show is for everyone to have fun while participating in something different, Briggs said. Since the show will be on Halloween, the audience is encouraged to dress up. A $100 prize will be awarded for the best male, female and couple categories, Briggs said. Briggs said his previous experiences with the featured artists gave him the inspiration to put on the show. “I want to give the artists their

chance to show themselves,” he said. “I have worked with them and know that they are really hard-working individuals. They deserve this opportunity.” The show is available for all ages, but is geared toward ages 18 to 25, Briggs said. He said this show will display the cultural diversity of Albuquerque and its dedicated hip-hop followers. “Hip-hop is universal,” Briggs said. “A lot of artists are now expanding and even using different languages in their songs. It’s neat to see the power of music. Music brings cultures together.” Briggs said he wants to celebrate the changing seasons. The show also gives the audience an opportunity to dress up and be a someone different for a night, he said. Briggs said he met the artists through his brother-in-law. “My brother-in-law makes beats, and has always had a love for music,” Briggs said. Victorious, an artist in the show, said he is originally from Brooklyn, N.Y. and lives in Virginia. “I love the art form that hip-hop offers,” Victorious said. “I first got interested while watching others make history (and) while bringing in some new things to music. I started writing and trying out all the aspects. I really enjoyed it.” The audience can meet-and-greet the artists for the show Friday at L.A. Underground from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at L.A. Underground and at the event for $15.

210 YALE SE s s WWW OUTPOSTSPACE ORG EXPERIENCE JAZZ IN NEW MEXICO LAND OF ENCHANTMENT Funded in part by the New Mexico Tourism Department

I’ve nearly lost count of how many guys I haven’t slept with. First, there was Edward James Henderson, Jr., who came from a fine family but preferred to stuff his trust fund in the end of a pipe. Not only was he the first man I’d seen do the wake-and-bake, he was also six years my senior and the former housemate of my best friend Erica. Ed let us stay at his mansion one Friday when we ditched class, and after a long night of drinking too much and smoking more, I ended up in Ed’s bed with increasingly less clothing when he said, “Your curves are so perfect, like only Raphael could have imagined,� (A fat cherub? What?) and, of course, the timeless, “Your skin is so soft� (Thanks, cheap moisturizing body wash does wonders) — But oh, then came the line, the one line all women want to hear: “I just want to make you feel good.� Well, I’d told Ed I was a virgin and had to stay that way. I was saving it for marriage. Before any fluids of any kind were shared, he had agreed that the panties would not come off. So, on that prime occasion, I said “No� (and have rather whole-heartedly regretted it since). After Edward James Henderson, Jr., there was the fantastically well-built but unfortunately shy what-was-his-name (our first date was at a pizza place, vegetarian pizza to share — Oh, haha, so glad you’re a vegetarian, too, Yes isn’t it nice to try new things now that we’re away from home, Dr. Black inspired me to do it, Me, too! What a coincidence — but what was his name?). Terrible kisser. All closed mouth and teeth like a brick wall even when he was feeling me up. Honestly, a man ought to know better. Watch at least one romantic comedy for every three pornos and you’re more likely to get some action, guys. Third was Chris, the man who was more than 10 years older than me and worked in the cafeteria on campus. His girlfriend was a senior, but he made himself very popular with us freshmen, either by seeming the charming, debonair gentleman; the caring big brother; or the mysterious, just-out-of-reach older man. He became whatever the situation and young ladies called for. On one of my first mornings leaving the omelet line, I was a bit sleepy and tripped and dropped my tray in front of everyone. Chris walked right up and lifted me by the elbow, asked if I was OK, and brought me a new tray. He befriended my roommates as well and made frequent visits to our dorm to hang out before his shift. Then one night he convinced me to go for a drive and shotgun till the world wasn’t real. He then kissed me oh-so-sweetly on the bed in a trashy motel on the edge of town (how did I end up there?). It was only because of my plaintive whimpering for mercy that he didn’t take me. He told me so. The stories don’t end there, and they certainly get happier, dear readers, but I think three almosts is enough to leave you with this week. As a parting gift, I offer some simple wisdom to both sexes,

based on my first three wouldhave-been encounters, and will probably be most useful to those of you in a comparable place. Girls: Don’t take your bra off until you’re comfortable enough to lose the panties, too. First of all, it’ll drive him crazy to go halfway, and once he’s crazy he’ll either be unable to stop or resent you a bit for making him stop. Second, when a man gets attached to your breasts, you get attached to him. There’s science behind this: oxytocin, the same hormone that makes you love your infant even after the long, painful labor, also encourages bonding with your sexual partner. Look it up. Don’t drink or do drugs with a guy because you think he’s cool and you’re just friends. It might be fun to relax sometimes, but really, when you let your guard down, anything can happen. And it usually isn’t good. Do have fun with men your own age. As the age gap widens, his route to in-your-pants gets shorter. Older guys have had more time to practice their tricks, and don’t take this the wrong way, but they probably aren’t looking for anything long-term with you. Do consider the reasons why you are or aren’t ready. Write them down. See if they’re still true tomorrow, in a week or only on Sundays. Boys: Don’t start trying to remove any pieces of clothing if you’ve been told you’ll have to stop somewhere. Better to practice your kissing skills. Don’t even consider plying her with alcohol to get into bed. Remember that if she’s had a couple of drinks, you could be held responsible if she regrets it later. Do stay sober enough that you don’t lose self-control. Also, consider that you sound stupider, your reflexes are slow, and your sensations are dulled when you’ve had too much. Do realize that if you’re charming, you’re more likely to have sex with the girl when she’s ready. To this end, think of nice things to say — not pick-up lines, but what you might say just before getting between the sheets. You don’t want to still be operating on trialand-error when things are getting steamy. Do consider whether you really want this girl to get attached to you. Once you’ve done the deed, it’ll be hard to get rid of her, even if you make her angry. Unless she’s mature enough to have sex just for the fun of having sex. And let’s be honest, if that’s the case, she probably doesn’t want to be having it with you. Doing it in the Duke City is written by some serious journalists. All names are changed to protect the hot. What would you like to read in the Daily Lobo’s sex column? Got a question? Write in to suggestions@ dailylobo.com.
