Pit to open despite construction Vanessa Sanchez / Daily Lobo Construction is under way on the northeast corner of The Pit, as seen in this panorama. While the arena will be open for tonight’s exhibition game, fans will have to use portable toilets and concessions in tents outside.
Fans at the exhibition match tonight will have to brave the cold to reach outside bathrooms and concessions. by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
For nine months, the sounds of machinery and clanking metal have replaced the sounds of bouncing basketballs at The Pit. But that’s about to change. Tonight, UNM’s 42-year-old arena will open up to the public when the Lobos take the court in an exhibition match against New Mexico Highlands. “Once game time starts – the reaction, I hope, is positive,” said Tim
Cass, senior associate director of athletics at UNM. The Pit has been under construction for 153 days while it gets a modern day face-lift. The arena is scheduled to be finished in time for the beginning of the 2010-11 basketball season next November. But this evening, all concessions and bathrooms will not be accessible because of the construction inside the arena. Instead, portable toilets and concession tents will be set up outside the gym. Using the bathroom will require UNM basketball fans to walk outside to either the west or east side of the arena, Cass said. “I’ve got two little kids myself, a six and an eight-year-old, and I am probably going to encourage them to go potty before they get to the arena,” he said. “All of (the porta potties) are outside and they are what I

~Tim Cass, Senior associate director of athletics would consider to be 15 to 20 paces away from the building.” The Athletics Department wants UNM students to be as much a part of the overall turnout as they were before the renovations, Cass said. “Hopefully the experience isn’t a whole lot different (for students),” Cass said. “You know they
will still be sitting in the same section and the seats are no different than they were last year. One of the things we’re most excited about is bringing back the free tickets to the students.” Even with the ongoing construction to The Pit this year, students will enter at the designated UNM student entrance doors on the north concourse. Students can get free tickets at the Popejoy Theater or visit the mobile ticket box office on the east side of The Pit. The arena and the ticket box office will open 90 minutes before the games this season to account for traffic, whereas they opened 60 minutes before games in the past. Bob Doty, assistant superintendent of Flint co. Inc, Construction Solutions, is overseeing The Pit renovations on a day-to-day basis.
Doty said the renovation has gone well even with the basketball season starting up. “Normally something (being built) at this speed would be chaos with everybody, everywhere and not much getting completed,” he said. “But it’s going very smoothly, and it’s smoother than normal.” Most concessions stands will also be outside in the tents, except for five or six stands in the concourse that will serve sodas, Cass said. “We certainly all have come to The Pit on cold nights,” Cass said. “We have put heaters in our commons area, in our concession and outside the restroom areas. There was confusion on whether there would be concessions in the building, and there will be.” UNM policy also permits reentry into basketball games, Cass said.

Heritage celebration gains support Staff Report Daily Lobo
American Indian Heritage Month should be exciting, thanks to a host of events from American Indian Student Services. Members of the Walatowa dance group will perform in the SUB Atrium today, and a UNM President’s Office representative and the director of Native American Studies will speak, said Pamela Agoyo, director of American Indian Student Services. Agoyo said this year’s recognition of American Indian Heritage month has had more community participation than in past years. “I think that this year we’ve had a more concerted effort and collaboration across campus between our office and Native American Studies and our student organizations,” Agoyo said. Support from President David Schmidly’s office encouraged

students, staff and community members to participate in Heritage Month, Agoyo said, especially since support from administration hasn’t been regular. “I think Tuesday is important because we actually are going to have recognition from administration — from the President’s Office,” she said. “There hasn’t necessarily been the recognition from the administration and from any leadership in the past, and so I think that speaks to the president’s commitment to American Indians on our campus.” Lansing said student organizations, including Kiva Club, Native American Studies Indigenous Research Group and American Indian Business Association are participating in events throughout the month. He said the Indigenous Nations Library Program will host lectures about the UNM Law School and Native American health. “They’re going to be putting

Local yogurt shop serves simple, fleeting flavors by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
The days of ice cream are done, or at least Ilana Slonim hopes so. Slonim is the co-owner of a new frozen yogurt shop, Ellie’s Yoberri Park, in the Bricklight District. “There’s one of these shops on every street corner in Southern California,” Slonim said. “It’s kind of moving across the country, and we saw that it wasn’t here.” The shop, which is named after Slonim’s close friend, had its grand opening on Halloween. Cody Aerosmith, operating manager of the yogurt shop, said it features a changing, delectable selection of yogurt flavors, such as classic tart, chocolate and, this week, green apple and pumpkin. Aerosmith said the flavors will change every two weeks. “That’s the thing that keeps it interesting,” Aerosmith said. “At the least the majority of people like to have a little of variety and change things up. We change all the flavors based on what season it is.” The frozen yogurt trend even converts long-time ice cream fans.
Former patron of Cold Stone Creamery, Angelica Avila, said she was hesitant when she first tried the frozen yogurt at Slonim’s frozen yogurt shop in Santa Fe. “We tried it and it was amazing,” she said. “When we saw the sign saying ‘Yoberri’ coming soon, we were freaking out (because it was in Albuquerque).” Avila said the yogurt has better flavor than ice cream. “It tastes really natural,” she said. “This flavor is green apple — it tastes like green apple. It really does. It’s good.” Aerosmith said one of the shop’s main draws is simplicity. Customers only make two choices: size and flavor. “We make it simple,” Aerosmith said. “We make it easy. Compared to ice cream stores and other competitors in town, we give you a lot for your money.” For those looking to spend a bit more, the shop offers a selection of fresh fruit, chopped daily, along with unusual but tasty dry options such as Fruity Pebbles, Aerosmith said.

Letters Krebs, UNM support ailing football program to a fault Editor, It’s hard to be a Lobo right now. I don’t think I stand alone in hoping that the Lobo football team continues its losing streak in order to secure a perfect season. It seems that the official stance of both the University and Athletics Director Paul Krebs is to stand by the damaged, barely breathing football team to a fault. The University and its athletic director should absolutely be in support of the athletic programs, the studentathletes and coaches who represent the University in the local community, as well as the national spotlight. With the continued losing streak of the Lobos and the constant negative coverage of head coach Mike Locksley in the national media, it is getting to be really difficult to be a Lobo fan. Krebs continues to take passive action and only acts when the pressure to take action has become impossible to ignore. I get the feeling that Krebs and the University will stand by Locksley and the failing football program to a fault, losing the heart of Lobo athletics that is the support of the fans and the community in the process. As a student, it should be easy to be a Lobo fan, and I continue to support Lobo athletic programs that carry themselves with a sense of pride and responsibility. It is clear that the football program is suffering a lack of discipline, from the locker room to the field, on campus and in the classroom. Antal Maurer UNM student
‘Doing It’ column horrifying and clichéd, but worth fixing Editor, To the “serious journalists” of Doing It in the Duke City: While I applaud the idea of a column discussing sex in the Daily Lobo and cheer at the idea of having a sense of humor about it, your sex column was profoundly horrifying. Let’s just make this short and sweet, something I wished the author of “Doing It in the Duke City” had done. Jokes? Not funny. Think one of those awkward and too-long SNL skits. Sexual experiences? Disturbing. Just — no. No. Trashy motel in a compromised state: scary. Writing? Clichéd. Phrases like “doing the deed” are more in line with creepy uncles who raise their eyebrows and elbow you when a guy walks by. Eh? Eh? Overall, fix it; don’t get rid of it. Not. Hot.

It’s time for UNM’s fat people to change their ways Victor Murthy
Daily Lobo guest columnist Yes, it’s fun to read about the smoking ban on campus, abusive football coaches and the eternal struggle between left and right, but these issues are just distracting us all from the real problem that plagues the UNM campus: fat people. Yes, I know that America is an overweight nation in general and that UNM is not exceptionally fat, but perhaps we should take it upon ourselves to set the example. I’ve heard of the freshman 15, but when I walk around on campus I’m sometimes shocked to see the sophomore 60 and the senior 70. Thank God the winter weather is here: People will be forced to put on more clothes. The problem isn’t even the rolls of fat I see hanging out (from the oddest of places), it’s the clothes people wear that accentuate them. It’s high time someone pointed

out this issue to the poor, and hopefully unaware, overweight souls on campus. Please, no more muffin tops. Those who cannot walk up a flight of stairs without panting should not wear overly tight or short clothing. Try the husky section at Wal-Mart. The problem here isn’t really the health issue, but the aesthetic issue. Those of us who are in shape and working it shouldn’t have to be subjected to the visual atrocities that result from the abysmal wardrobe choices that so many obese people make on a daily basis. I realize that perhaps a small percentage of these overweight students may have a gland problem or freakishly low metabolism, but the majority of them need to put down the bag of Sonic they bought in the SUB and hit the treadmill. And when I say hit the treadmill, I do not mean walk on it at a leisurely pace for 10 minutes while chatting on the phone with your girlfriends. You know who you are. With UNM accepting too many
students as it is, competition for treadmills in Johnson Gym is fierce enough. I know that personally. Seeing an obese person waddling in front of me with his or her back fat hanging out for everyone to see is far more disturbing than a smoker blowing smoke in my face (fat smokers are the worst). I find it an interesting paradox that it’s in one of the most image-obsessed nations that people often think they look good, even when they so clearly do not. Many of the people reading this will probably not even immediately realize that they fall into the category of people I am talking about. But please. Put away the halter-top, try eating a vegetable, and stay away from drive-thrus at 3 a.m. And to all the fit people out there: simply stay your sexy selves. Victor Murthy is a UNM student.
Letter Abortion article misrepresented Christian faith, Bible’s teachings Editor, Monday’s article “Not all religious sects are anti-abortion” was a gross misrepresentation of the Christian faith. I am saddened that Frank Yates calls himself a Protestant minister when he clearly doesn’t understand the term. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a Protestant as “a member of any of several church denominations denying the universal authority of the pope and affirming the reformation principles of justification by faith alone, the priesthood of all believers and the primacy of the Bible as the only source of revealed truth.” The Bible is very clear on abortion. It is not a “choice.” It is the termination of a human life. The choice comes prior to conception. SEX = BABY. If you want to have control over your own body, maintain abstinence or use birth control. I’d also like to dispel the myth that abortion provides a woman with
convenience, the absence of distress or her so-called happiness. Abortion is a major surgical procedure which can result in serious complications — it is not “safe” as we are led to believe. After a legal abortion, a woman faces increased possibility of future miscarriages, tubal pregnancies, premature births, sterility and severe and long-lasting emotional disturbances. Yates also stated that “life begins when a fetus is able to live outside the womb.” From a biblical perspective this is totally false. Life begins at conception: Jeremiah 1:5 states, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.” Melody Green and Last Day Ministries have a fantastic article called “Children … Things we Throw Away?” One paragraph of this document addresses the question, “When does life begin?” “Science tells us that when the 23 chromosomes of the sperm unite with the ovum’s 23 chromosomes, a new 46 chromosome cell is formed. When this process (fertilization) is complete, a new human being exists. This cell is a complete genetic package programmed for development into a mature adult. Nothing will be added
except time and nutrition. It’s been medically proven that the baby’s heart starts beating from 14-28 days after conception (usually before the mother even knows she’s pregnant), and by the 30th day almost every organ has started to form! He moves his arms and legs by six weeks and by 43 days his brain waves can be read. By eight weeks the baby has his very own fingerprints, he can urinate, make a strong fist, and he can feel pain. Each stage of development from fertilization to old age is merely a maturing of what is entirely there at the start.” Bottom line: Protestants acknowledge what the Bible and science teach. A “fetus” is a human being and abortion is the termination of that perfectly developing little life. Frank Yates, you have done Protestants a huge disfavor in so poorly representing the Bible. Please don’t call it an “unwanted pregnancy” either because there is an extreme shortage of newborn babies available for adoption. Whether or not you want your baby, that child is a wanted child.

UNM’s English Department is rewriting the traditional curriculum for its 101 courses. The department will host its first Celebration of Student Writing on Thursday in the SUB to showcase student projects that incorporate genres of writing beyond essays and stories. Freshman Meagan Halstead, a student in Rick Raab-Faber’s English 101 class, had to write memos for her class project. Raab-Faber had his students go out and review local chain restaurants and then design a fictional restaurant to compete with the chain. “He’s not only meeting the needs of the kids that can write, because some kids get to be expressive through the art part of it,” Halstead said. “I think it’s cool because it’s something that all the students have to take. The students that aren’t that great at writing and the English part of it, I think that it meets their needs, too.” Raab-Faber said making students work in groups is not his ideal teaching method, but it turned out well in this case. “I really had to think of a way to get them involved,” he said. “It’s really hard to get kids — and especially these freshmen because they are doing so much adjusting — to do something they don’t want to do.” Raab-Faber said his class’s restaurant project also

“The way we view writing is changing. Students are not coming to UNM to learn how to write essays.” ~Genesea Carter, English department TA required research. “Based on that, we did reports, we did memos, we wrote questionnaires trying to find out what people wanted,” he said. “We also did reviews and observations.” Genesea Carter, who is organizing Thursday’s event, said the English Department tried to integrate genre-style writing, such as economics and business writing, into all of its 101 classes. Carter said the projects are meant to help students learn skills outside essay and short-story writing. “The way we view writing is changing,” she said. “Students are not coming to UNM to learn how to write essays. They’re coming to learn how to write in their professional and academic fields, which generally are not essays.” Halstead said her writing project familiarized her with research techniques and business writing. “Because it’s about restaurants and stuff, it hasn’t been as inter-

And frozen yogurt has more benefits than just great taste. It has only 1.5 grams of fat per serving, while ice cream averages 18 grams of fat per serving. Slonim said frozen yogurt also helps regulate the digestive system with probiotics, and that those who are lactose intolerant can eat it without fear. However, most people don’t think frozen yogurt is healthier than ice cream. Emily Kennedy, a patron at Ellie’s Yoberri Park, said she was pleasantly surprised by the information. “That’s awesome. It’s just going to make me eat more,” she said. However, patrons should note that frozen yogurt has slightly more sugar per serving than ice cream — 17.3 grams versus 15.3 grams. While the shop’s grand opening was Saturday, it has been open since mid-October. Aerosmith said the shop has already built up a large clientele and sells two to three hundred cups of yogurt each day. Slonim said she opened a shop in Santa Fe last year, and it’s done exceedingly well. She expects equal success in Albuquerque. Frozen yogurt appeals in particular to people trying to eat healthy, but it is attracting attention from more than just health nuts, Slonim said.

“Really, it’s been across the board,” she said. “Once people start eating and it feels good in your stomach, you just come back and want more. I’ve eaten it every day for the past year and I am not sick of it.” Slonim and Aerosmith said business is slower during the winter months, but both are still confident about the venture. “We opened in the winter in Santa Fe (last year),” Aerosmith said.
“Every new business takes a little while to get recognized and established. I am really optimistic. All it takes is one try, and people will really like it.”

installations either as a whole entire class or in small groups,” she said. “I told all of the TAs to be as hands-off as possible because we really want the students to get very excited about creating a visual representation of their work.” Carter said the celebration will give freshmen an opportunity to show off their writing and creative skills to the whole campus. “We’re really hoping that administrators come, and that deans come and that families come

Soon we just want to make enough money to create a good enough recording to send out to labels. DL: Have you released any albums, and how would you describe that success? JS: Immortal Prophecy has only had three self-recorded demos. We hand these out and we have gotten some good feedback. A lot of people tell us that they are actually listening to the demos, which is really great. It is hard to tell how many people are listening to it because we aren’t there. The feedback is good. We just want to be able to take that feedback and make something great. DL: How do you manage being a musician and being a philosophy student? JS: You don’t sleep much — that’s for sure.
