CONFERENCE CALLING
Protesters capture ASUNM’s attention By Charlie Shipley
charlieshipley84@gmail.com ASUNM officially announced they don’t mind the protesters. The Senate passed a resolution acknowledging the movement as a “comprehensive example of the potential for experiential education surrounding lawful, peaceful and effective practice of grass-roots expression.” The resolution, drafted by Senators Caroline Muraida and Brandon Myers, encourages continuing dialogue between protesters and University administration including ASUNM and GPSA. Muraida said ASUNM had an obligation to address the (un)Occupy movement. “Both academically, it’s crawled into our curriculum, teachers are talking

about it in classes, and physically, you walk by it it’s there,” she said. “You can’t ignore it. I’m sure there have been other ways people have been affected on a personal level, but it was part of our life for a moment there, and it still is today.” Senator Alberto Jacome opposed the resolution saying it was too vague. “We all acknowledge that they’re there, but if you’re going to write up such a big issue, you should at least take a stance on it,” he said. “That’s my personal belief.” Jacome said he respects the protesters’ to assemble and voice their concerns as long as things remain peaceful. “I do believe that protesting is great, especially peaceful protests, but I don’t like when they’re occupying a space and affecting other students,” he said.
OTHER ASUNM RESOLUTIONS A resolution calling for a report on the feasibility of a new student health and wellness center. The report would educate students on the geographical and financial impact building a new health center could have on the University. A resolution requesting that a member of the New Mexico Legislature complete a study on possible eligibility requirements that would maximize student enrollment and retention at UNM as well the effects those requirements could have on the New Mexico Lottery for Success Scholarship.

Student government notices and takes a stance on the movement by Charlie Shipley
charlieshipley84@gmail.com ASUNM President Jaymie Roybal updated the senate on her proposed bike share program. She said the bike’s vendor will be B-Cycle, a company that runs a bike share program in Denver, and bike kiosks will be solar-powered. The bikes are built to prevent students from stealing bike parts. She said advertising space will be sold on the bikes and kiosks. The plan is currently in its fund raising stage, with a goal of raising $250,000, which Roybal said would pay for seven kiosks, with 10 bikes each, for a total of 70 bikes. Five kiosks are planned for main campus and two for north campus. The program will be free to UNM students faculty and staff with a valid Lobo ID, but Roybal said recurring program costs could be between $20,000 and $30,000. Regent President Jack Fortner, father of ASUNM senator Suzanne Fortner, addressed the senate, offering advice, and giving his opinion of the proposed student recreation center. Fortner encouraged the senators to maintain a professional demeanor, but at the same time not take themselves too

seriously. Suzanne, sang a version of Katy Perry’s “Firework” with lyrics rewritten to be ASUNM related. Suzanne’s performance received a standing ovation, after which her father said, “If you take yourself too seriously, nobody else will.” Fortner said he thinks students need a new rec. center but don’t know how to fund it. “I don’t know that the students are very excited about fees going up,” he said. “That might be one of the alternatives. There’s no question we have a need, but a question of whether people want to pay the piper for it.” Interim Dean of Students Kim Kloeppel spoke to the senate about measure being taken to prevent students from being injured by skateboarders on campus. She said several meetings had been held on the issue and that meeting will continue. Kloeppel said proposed solutions include designating dismount areas for bicycles and skateboards and perhaps hiring students with authority to police high traffic areas and talk to students. Additionally, high skateboard traffic areas may be coated with a rough coating that would make it difficult for boarders to skate in the area.
UNM does all kinds of recruiting to reel in new students, but one of the strangest ways might be talking to high school students about the plague. Nicholas Schwartz is the program’s facilitator of the Medieval Outreach Program, and he said UNM students and alumni to go to local high schools to talk about medieval culture and society and mentor students. “This semester we have presented on the Black Death in relation to Chaucer and ‘daily life’ in medieval England, among others,” he said. “We also have a peer mentoring program, which offers high school students the opportunity to work with a graduate student on a project related to the Middle Ages.” The University is the only school in the nation with a outreach program for medieval studies. He said the outreach program began in the mid 90s. Timothy Graham, the director of the Institute for Medieval Studies, said University students in the

“Our goal, at least it is mine, is to bring a little light to ‘the Dark Ages.” ~Jeramie Barker UNM student Outreach Program also help high school students prepare projects for National History Day, which has competitive stages at both the local, state, and national levels. “Last year, one of the students we advised reached the national stage of the competition, when he had the opportunity to present his project on the Fourth Crusade of 1204 in Washington, D.C.,” Graham said. Schwartz said the program shows high school medieval studies can be interesting, which could encourage them to study it at UNM. “Giving presentations in local high schools is a great way to do that,” he continued. “Our hope is that
these presentations enrich students’ appreciation of the medieval period and, ideally, make them more interested in it.” UNM student Jeramie Barker, who gives presentations at high schools as part of the Outreach Program, said many students have misinformation about the medieval period, which he said he hopes to rectify. “While at Albuquerque High School a teacher whose class we were going to present in referred to the period that we study as ‘the Dark Ages,’” he said. “I jokingly replied that we prefer to call the period ‘the Middle Ages.’ Our goal, at least it is mine, is to bring a little light to ‘the Dark Ages.’” Patricia Gardner, a teacher at Albuquerque High School, said her students seem to enjoy the presentations. “Most enjoyed learning from the grad students, as well as the activities,” she said. “The grad students in the outreach program are a great community resource. Any time I have a student with a project from that time period, I always refer them to the Outreach Program.”

Former Lobo basketball star pleads guilty to DWI
Injured homeless man identity revealed
Oct. 25 “I want to look in your lunch box”
Oct. 28 Damaged car
Generators worth $2000 stolen from youth ranch
Former UNM men’s basketball player Dairese Gary pleaded guilty to DWI in court Thursday. Gary’s sentence included DWI school,alcoholscreening,participation in a victim’s impact panel, community services and the use of an ignition interlock device, according to the New Mexico District Attorney’s office. Gary could have faced up to 90 days in jail, but he plea bargained out of any jail time. Gary’s defense team originally tried to have his breath test evidence thrown out of the case, but the judge denied the motion. Gary’s attorney Bob Cooper told court officials they planned to move forward with a plea deal. In the deal, Gary pled guilty to a DWI and downgraded his original charge of aggravated DWI.
The man found critically injured behind Popejoy Hall early Tuesday morning was identified as Arnold Woods, and UNM officials said Woods is the same man arrested for sleeping inside Popejoy last year. UNMPD arrested Woods in February 2010 on criminal trespassing charges after warning him numerous times that he couldn’t sleep inside Popejoy, the Daily Lobo reported. UNMPD spokesman Lt. Robert Haarhues said Woods had been cooking meals in the hall’s kitchen, showering and doing his laundry. Woods had been cited for trespassing before, Harrhues said. After the Lobo reported on Woods’ arrest, his mother, Mary, filed classified ads in the Lobo and went to Channel 4 news begging the Albuquerque community to help her find her son. She said she hadn’t spoken to Woods in over two years. She said, after seeing the ad, a friend recognized Woods on campus and took him to his/her home. UNM officials said Woods is once again a transient and a regular on campus, and they still don’t know if he was beaten or fell Tuesday.
A man called UNMPD Oct. 25. after an unknown male walking ahead of him on a road behind KNME stopped and approached him. The suspect told the man he wanted to look in his lunch box and demanded to know how much money he had, according to the police report. The suspect was wearing a blue coverall with a bib and a red colored athletic jersey with the number four, the report said. The man was able to board a passing bus with no further harassment from the suspect, police said.
UNMPD was dispatched to the UNM Hospital parking structure Oct. 28 in reference to a damaged vehicle. According to the police report, the victim, a nurse at UNMH, reported that someone broke the passenger-side, rear-door window. The officer observed a hole in the window being held together by the tint, the report said. The nurse said she noticed nothing missing from the vehicle. There are no subjects or witnesses at this time, police said.
Oct 28. The case of the missing laptop
Oct. 29 Car vanishes from parking lot
A UNM student reported her laptop stolen Oct. 28 after she told UNM police she failed to securely latch her combination lock on a locker in George Pearl Hall, according to a police report. She said she returned to her locker nearly an hour later and noticed her locker was wide open with her combination lock sitting on top, the report said. The student reported no other items being stolen from her locker.
A student contacted UNMPD Oct. 29 to report her car missing from E lot, where she parked it the day before. According to the police report, the student told police she checked the entire parking lot without finding her car. UNMPD attempted to locate the car using all local police agencies.
Thieves ripped off an Albuquerque youth ranch charity this week. A unknown suspect Tuesday stole two generators worth about $2,000 from Galloping Grace Youth Ranch. The generators were used to light up a pumpkin patch for the past month where charity members have been busy selling pumpkins. The charity uses all money donated from its pumpkin patch sales to pay for the care of horses that give disadvantaged children a chance to enjoy themselves. Organizer Max Wade tells KRQETV the thieves knew when to strike. It was the first day off for volunteers in nearly two months. Although they sold out of pumpkins, Galloping Grace says their profit goal of $30,000 this year probably won’t be reached when figuring in the theft.

BP pays for refinery explosion by Ramit Plushnick-Masti
Still, BP Products North America and Texas both welcomed the agreement, with Attorney General Greg Abbott saying the dollar amount is a record-setter for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clean air act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are rules that must be followed, and if you violate those rules there will be consequences,â&#x20AC;? Abbott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They exposed Houstonians ... to poor air quality and now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying the price for it.â&#x20AC;? BP said in a statement it views the settlement as a continuation of its attempts to improve operations at the Texas City refinery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;BP has maintained a steady focus on improving safety and compliance at Texas City, and this agreement is an important milestone in the progress of operations at the facility,â&#x20AC;? the company said. The company has not yet indicated whether it has a buyer, but some speculate settling old grievances makes such sales easier. In August 2010, BP reached a $50.6 million settlement with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration for
failing to correct safety violations after the 2005 explosion. At the time, OSHA indicated it was also trying to force the company to pay an additional $30 million in fines. The settlement with Texas also resolves violations from a high-profile 41-day benzene release in April 2010 that prompted a class-action suit by Texas City residents and an investigation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This agreement does not resolve lawsuits or investigations by other agencies, or any future problems at the refinery. And that, says Matthew Tejada, executive director of the Houston Air Alliance, is key. BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refinery in Texas City has always had problems complying with regulations, and there is no indication from the agreement that any settlement dollars will go toward environmental protection or monitoring in the community. At the moment, he said, there are only a few monitors for cancercausing benzene.

HOUSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BP will pay Texas $50 million after the sides reached an unprecedented settlement over air pollution violations at the beleaguered oil giantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf Coast refinery, the site of a massive explosion in 2005 that killed 15 people. The settlement announced Thursday coincides with BP PLCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempts to restore its reputation and resolve lawsuits over the April 2010 rig explosion that killed 11 people and caused the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. It may also help BP find a buyer for the Texas City refinery since it will settle pollution liabilities with the state. The agreement covers 72 emissions violations since the explosion. But some environmentalists note the decades-old refinery consistently has problems complying with basic environmental regulations, and any buyer would have to contend with the lingering problems of old, outdated equipment.

Letter Lobo should avoid letters from Burbank in future Editor’s Note: This letter is in response to the Nov. 1 letter “Cannibalism is answer for protesters problems” by James Burbank. Editor, Stay classy, Lobo. Nice job publishing a letter that endorses the murder of protesters, not just here on campus but nationwide. I supported the protesters’ right to rally on campus. I said that UNM administrators feigned concern for students’ safety, but after reading “Cannibalism is answer for protesters problems” I think maybe I was wrong. Maybe it’s the protesters who are in danger. I don’t know if the editor has completed Western Civ II yet, but I cannot believe that the Lobo would publish a letter in which the author suggests a “final solution” that involves the systematic murder of protesters. Was the letter written in jest? I sincerely hope so, because then it is just in bad taste. I even hope that the letter was a prank and not written by a UNM faculty member. Just last week, someone posed as the GPSA president in the comments section of the Lobo, so there is some precedence for that kind of thing. But that aside, do you know where the phrase “final solution” comes from? Well, here it is in its full glory: the final solution of the Jewish question. And what, you ask, is the “Jewish question”? Well, for the Nazis it was how to kill the entire Jewish population of Europe and probably eventually the world. Yup, we get it from the Nazis, and there it is in the Daily Lobo; the punch line to a joke. Free speech means we have to hear things we don’t like hearing. That’s the price we pay for being able to voice our opinions. But it also comes with a responsibility. Mr. Burbank is free to believe that the best model for discipline in this country should be modeled on the Nazis. But the Lobo doesn’t have to print it. But because they did, shouldn’t there be some editorial comment? Maybe there is some message about the “opinions not necessarily being those of the Lobo” somewhere, but in the case where the paper decides it’s going to publish a letter where the author endorses Nazi tactics, I think the Lobo should have made a special effort to distance itself from the views of Mr. Burbank. In other words, the implications of Mr. Burbank’s message, if indeed they are his and not those of some punk jokester, are too great not to go unanswered, and I hope that the Lobo will address this. David Luna UNM graduate student Post Note: Burbank’s letter was a work of satire.

Fix the facts about defense budget by Austin Burke
Daily Lobo Guest Columnist I am writing to correct a number of serious misconceptions in the opinion piece printed on Thursday in regards to the U.S. Military/Industrial complex. First, Eisenhower was not the only U.S. president to have served as a four-star general. In fact, to refer to him as a four-star is inaccurate, because he held the rank of General of the Army, which is represented by five stars. He was also not the only U.S. president to hold this rank. George Washington held the rank of General of the Armies, the highest rank ever afforded an officer in this nation, and Ulysses S. Grant, also a U.S. president, held the rank of General of the Army (though at the time, it was represented by four stars, not five). Second, the author makes a very fraudulent claim when he states that “the U.S. defense budget is now equal to military spending in all other countries of the world combined.” In 2010, the U.S. defense budget was $698,105,000,000. This was indeed the highest defense budget in the world. In fact, it was roughly equal to the defense budgets of the 22 countries following us, arranged in terms of most to least spending. That number is $700,038,464,000. The amount that the U.S. spends on defense is truly massive and staggering, but there are 193 U.N. member states, not 22, and the majority of them have military and defense budgets. In addition to this, the author’s statements are a bit misleading. While the
American service members are not in fact free of punishment for crimes committed on foreign soil.
U.S. does spend nearly $700 billion yearly on defense, this number was not examined in light of our GDP. In 2010, the U.S. spent about 4.7 percent of its GDP on defense. This does not place us into the top five countries (we are squarely at No. 10). In light of the 2010 GDP for the U.S. (roughly $14.7 trillion, or around one-fourth of the global economy), the massive expenditures on defense are cast in a more realistic light. Put simply, we spend more because we can afford more. In regards to how the laws of a host nation apply to forces stationed overseas, the claim that the military is exempt from any and all laws is incorrect. The “NATO Status of Forces Agreement,” as a specific example (but not an overall rule, though the majority of host countries maintain a similar agreement), lays out rules for jurisdiction and legal status of U.S. troops. Any American laws that are broken by the individual will be tried and punished under the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) if they are not governed by the laws of the host country. (Examples include violations of the U.S. Tax Code, desertion,
etc.) I will now quote my source document directly: “In all other crimes, the host country retains the primary jurisdiction. If a U.S. service member, not in the performance of official duty, commits a crime against the person or property of a foreign national, local authorities have the primary right to bring him or her to trial. Unless the host country waives its primary jurisdiction, the accused will be prosecuted under the laws and procedures of that country’s criminal justice system. If convicted, the service member will be punished in accordance with the host country’s laws.” Clearly, American service members are not in fact free of punishment for crimes committed on foreign soil. The final issue I will address is in regards to our overseas bases: “The sole purpose is global hegemony and dominance over the rest of the world.” While this may indeed be the political motivation behind a number of bases, one must remember two things: One, that not every military installation is a base equipped for combat, and two, that a large number of these bases exist because of various treaty agreements (such as NATO). Finally (though I know this last bit will be absolutely ignored by commenters and replies), I meant no particular political offense, nor have I drawn conclusions that the U.S. has a right to maintain a military presence anywhere. My purpose was simply to correct a number of serious factual errors in the original opinion piece.
Letters NM cuisine colorful unlike other beige American food Editor, It was humorous to see how Amy Dicketts, an exchange student from Britain, viewed American cuisine in Tuesday’s Daily Lobo, especially considering the strong negative feelings Americans have toward British cuisine. For example, I always hear jokes about Chinese and Mexican restaurants but no British restaurants. I also see surveys show-
ing that the most popular dish in Britain is actually chicken tikka masala. I feel a bit sorry for Dicketts, since I feel her culinary experience in America so far has been very incomplete. La Posada is there to make large quantities of food, which is why you would find biscuits and gravy there, which are more often associated with a mess hall than an American breakfast table. She is in luck though, because if she ventures outside of La Posada once in a while, she will find that New Mexico offers a delicious local cuisine only rivaled by perhaps Louisiana. There is no beige here in New Mexico but rather colorful blends of green
and red. The Frontier would be a great place for any foreign student to get a quick exposure to examples of our local cuisine. Maybe try our local Christmas tradition of tamales and biscochitos. For breakfast, try skipping the biscuits and gravy for a New Mexican breakfast burrito: eggs, meat, potatoes and red or green chile in a flour tortilla. I am getting hungry just writing this. Just remember, your experience in New Mexico is everything you make of it, as long as you get out there and try new things. Carl Grover UNM alumnus

Juan Labreche / Daily Lobo The UNM men’s soccer team celebrates after scoring a goal against Columbia earlier this season at University Stadium. The Lobos are No.1 in the nation and are the only undefeated team left in the country.
by Nathan Farmer
Soccer vs. Football Wins 15 0 Losses 0 8
The men’s soccer team is undefeated this season with a 15-0-2 record and is currently on an 11-game win streak. It has outscored teams 38-9 this season, including 25-4 in the second half of games. It has won all eight of its home games and has yet to even tie a game in conference. Goalkeeper Victor Rodriguez has eight shutouts on the season while
forwards Blake Smith and Devon Sandoval have scored nine and seven goals respectively this year. Eleven different players have scored for UNM this year on their way to becoming the only undefeated team in the country. The same cannot be said for the football team. The men’s soccer team dominates its opponents in nearly every

statistical category, while the football team’s stats consistently lag far behind its opponents. The football team is 0-8 and has lost 30 of its last 32 games. This season it has been shut out in two games, has scored 10 points or fewer in five games and has been outscored 375-106. The football team is one of only two teams in the country yet
to win a game, and in every game but one this year the opposing team has scored at least 42 points on the Lobos. The Lobos delivered their worst performance of the season two weeks ago when they played TCU. The Lobos were held to just 85 yards of offense in a 69-0 loss.

New Mexico Daily Lobo
from page 5
Both Lobo teams have played Air Force this season. The soccer team won its game 1-0, and that one goal was one more point than the football team put up in its 42-0 loss to the Falcons. The fans are feeling it, too, with attendance rates for both teams moving in opposite directions. The soccer team’s home game against Air Force was attended by 4,781 fans, nearly filling up the 5,000 seat stadium. The football team, on the other hand, had just 16,691 people watching its game against Air
Force, barely filling the 39,224 seat University Stadium. The football team just has one home game left this season, against UNLV, and three road games, including against No. 5 Boise State. The football team, which went 1-11 in each of its past two seasons, is coming dangerously close to ending this season with an even worse record if it fails to win a single game. The soccer team has one final game this regular season against UNLV on Saturday. It won the
Mountain Pacific Sports Federation last weekend with two games to spare. If the team beats UNLV this weekend, this year will mark the first undefeated season in Lobo men’s soccer history. Records show that this will be the first time in history for a university to have an undefeated men’s soccer team and a winless football team at the end of the regular season. The rest of the world loves futbol more than football. Maybe it’s time for UNM to make the switch too.

Duo wins MWC awards again by Thomas Romero-Salas tromeros@unm.edu
WARNING!
Highly readable content. Though we appreciate your dedicated readership, please use caution when attempting to read the Daily Lobo in unconventional situations.
Two Lobos earned MWC conference player of the year awards for the second year in a row. Senior and forward Jennifer Williams and junior goalkeeper Kelli Cornell won offensive and defensive players of the year. Williams led the conference with 12 goals and 26 points overall. She said she couldn’t have won the award for the second consecutive year in a row if it wasn’t for her teammates. “It means everything to me,” Williams said. “It’s a great way to end the regular season and knowing that even though I got the award, it really is a team award. I can’t do it by myself; it’s a team event and it takes all eleven players.” Cornell was the defensive anchor as she led the MWC with eight shutouts and .73 average goals
against average. The key to Cornell’s success is how hard she plays every game, Williams said. “She plays with her heart and plays like it is her last game,” she said. “She still has one more year here. The way she plays you wouldn’t think that; you would think she’s done tomorrow.” Also, the team won its second consecutive MWC regular-season title last weekend; and it hosts the MWC tournament this weekend. The Lobos, seeded No. 1, had a bye until the semifinals and will face UNLV today. The Rebels shut out Boise State 2-0 on Wednesday in the first round of the tournament. Earlier in the year UNM beat UNLV 1-0 but Williams said the Lobos are preparing for a tough game. “They have a very good attack and their defense is very strong,” Williams said. “I would say that their midfield is probably one of the stronger ones in our con-
ference, and they are very good technically.” UNM faced a similar situation last year when it was the No. 1 seed in the tournament and faced UNLV in the second round, winning 2-1 in double overtime. The Lobos made it to the finals but eventually lost to BYU 2-1. Senior Roxie McFarland said the Lobos and the Rebels are fairly evenly matched on the field. “We’ve performed well against UNLV — we do every year,” McFarland said. “I think their style is something we can match well.”
right arm. There are some big questions looming in Indy. The Colts (0-8) must decide whether to opt out of Manning’s fiveyear contract or pay a $28 million bonus to keep him on the roster. And if they have a high draft pick next year, Indy also will have to decide whether to take Manning’s heir apparent, someone like Andrew Luck or Landry Jones. “It’s something you talk about and scenarios, who could be behind
Peyton and how long you want him to sit and how much money you have committed to quarterbacks,” Irsay said. “I think theoretically, you could have Peyton for two or three more good years and then have someone behind him, but that’s theoretical.” Manning hasn’t played since having surgery to repair a damaged nerve that caused weakness in his throwing arm. It was his third neck procedure in 19 months, a series of operations that has forced Colts fans to debate when — or if — Manning will return.
