Students to prowl campus tonight
LOBO MEN’S BASKETBALL WINS 8681
Walk held to pinpoint dangers after dark
by Megan Underwood news@dailylobo.com
UNM students will roam campus tonight, checking for safety hazards and inadequate lighting at the semiannual Campus Safety walk. Student conduct officer and event organizer Rob Burford said the safety walks have been a UNM tradition since the ‘90s. He said students lost interest in the walks as time went on and that they were actually canceled for four years because the turnout was so low. “We couldn’t evaluate the whole campus with only 15 students,” he said. “It’s really student-driven.” He said students took a renewed interest in the activity after an incident in 2010 in which a young woman was stabbed outside the Anthropology building. The walks are now held in the fall and on the anniversary of the attack in the spring. “The situation in 2010 helped to revive this,” he said. “I think it’s a great thing for students to be a part of so they can have a say in campus safety, especially at night.”
“There’s a lot of areas on campus that people might not readily know are unsafe.” ~Mari Young resident adviser On the walk, students will patrol the campus, armed with flashlights, maps and pens. Participants will look for lighting outages; tripping hazards, such as uneven sidewalks or unruly shrubs; and places on campus that could use more lighting, blue emergency poles or other safety precautions. Students will write comments about potential hazards they notice on the walk, and circle areas and lights, represented by red dots, on a map to show damaged equipment. The suggestions and comments are then given to the Physical Plant Department, which makes repairs or installs new equipment. UNM student Grace Mayer said campus safety is a main

UNDERGRAD SENATE ELECTION by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com
Undergraduate student government senate elections are on Wednesday. There are 10 open seats on the ASUNM Senate. Meet some of the candidates:
RISE slate
RISE, the sole slate running in this semester’s ASUNM Senate elections comprises five senators running for re-election and five new senate candidates. ASUNM Sen. Malika Ladha, a member of RISE who is running for re-election, said her slate represents a huge part of UNM’s student voice. “Together we represent over 50 different student organizations,” she said. “And lots of us are part of tons of organizations here on campus.” Ladha said her slate will focus mostly on improving the quality of academics at UNM, especially among freshmen. She said UNM has sought to improve education quality in the past through programs such as the UNM Success Through the Academic Year (S.T.A.Y.) Initiative, an academic coaching program, and the UNM Foundations of Excellence, an initiative by the provost’s office aimed at improving the freshman experience. “We lose 25 percent of our freshmen by the third semester,” she said. “That’s really a concern that really needs to be looked at. These programs really seek to enhance and to explore to see how we can improve … the experience of a freshman student.”

Initiative, said RISE aims to improve in the academic coaching program. ASUNM Sen. Tyler Crawley, who is also running for re-election with the RISE slate, said he will lobby in the Legislature to remove tuition credits. He said that through tuition credits, the government taxes higher education institutions around the state based on their tuition rates. Because of UNM’s comparatively high tuition rates, it loses a large portion of its budget, Crawley said. “We want to continue lobbying in the state Legislature for the elimination of the tuition credit,” Crawley said. “Because we have the highest tuition, we get hit hard in regards of the tuition credit. Students should not be taxed to balance the state budget.” UNM’s tuition credit amounted to $3.86 million last school year. Crawley said RISE also aims to provide more funding for oncampus organizations to help increase student participation in University organizations.

She said she was part of the Emerging Lobo Leaders program during her first semester at UNM, and since then has become actively involved with ASUNM. “Personally, we started at the bottom of the ladder,” she said. “And we’ve been able to work our way upwards. We have that passion. We have what it takes.” Ladha said students should vote for members of RISE because of the amount of experience and knowledge of the senate’s protocol that incumbent candidates already have. “UNM is in a state of transformation. We are moving fast, and we are moving quickly,” she said. “Having five incumbents, we have a different
experience and we have a different input that we can provide.” Other candidates in the RISE slate are incumbents Joe Stevens, Brandon Meyers and Holly Marquez, and new candidates Wesley Martinez, Taylor Bui, Earl Shank, Rachel Williams and Grace Liu. These eight remaining candidates were unavailable for comment.
Adrian Avila
Independent candidate Adrian Avila said he’s a first-generation college student and who’s been working since he was 14. He said these experiences means he understands the struggles students may face to become successful. “I know my journey to UNM is a common occurrence for many students,” he said. “We all struggled to get here and therefore the school should make every effort to support us through and post graduation, for if the students succeed then the University succeeds.” Avila said that because he was raised by a single parent, he shares the economic burden many students experience. He said ASUNM has the duty to encourage and help students financially during their college experience. Avila, who is triple majoring in statistics, history and psychology, said the biggest problem at UNM right now is a lack of connection between the various campuses and organizations within the University. He said

ASUNM should bridge the gap between these communities through community events and shared funding. “Imagine if ASUNM urged student organizations to sponsor events … offered financial support,” he said. “Any disconnect that could exist would rapidly diminish, and our school spirit would be relit as bright at the U on Hodgin Hall is going to be this weekend.” If elected, Avila said that he will focus on promoting intellectual research on campus and monitoring the main campus budget more tightly. He said he will provide further aid to student organizations and academic support to students to uphold UNM’s graduation rate.

because the ASUNM Senate lacks a variety of perspectives due to the slate system. “The way the elections are set up favors running as a group rather than as an individual, which is how it’s supposed to be,” he said. “They’re all homogenous. They all stand alike.” Owens, who is studying political science, said that if elected, he will focus on increasing ASUNM’s transparency. He said senators only have two hours of office hours per week, and he aims to increase the time to four hours per week. “Two of those hours should be held somewhere else other than the ASUNM office, like in Zimmerman Library or on the third floor of the SUB,” he said. “They should have more access to students.” Owens said he has been involved with the campus community since his first semester at UNM in fall 2011, when he joined UNM’s Emerging Lobo Leaders Program.

Colt Balok
Independent candidate Colt Balok said his experience working for the state government makes him a quality candidate for the ASUNM Senate. Balok, who worked for the New Mexico Senate’s Chief Clerk Office, said his time there helped him learn how government functions. “I have been fortunate enough to make influential acquaintances,” he said. “This experience has given me vital insight into the workings of the state government and how to go about addressing certain issues as a politician.”

Balok said the biggest problem in higher education is the solvency of the Lottery Success Scholarship. He said that because the scholarship helps many UNM students to pay for college, he would fight to uphold it in the Legislature. “I plan to negotiate toward a solution with the state Legislature in order to prevent the critical financial struggle that many UNM students would face without the Lottery Scholarship,” he said. Balok is working on a Three-Two MBA degree in political science, business and law, which allows undergraduates to complete a bachelor’s degree in a field outside management and an MBA degree all in five years. He said he will fight in the Legislature to obtain more funding for UNM. He said he aims to use funds to start a 24-hour bus service and to solve parking issues around campus.

concern for people who live on campus. She said that recently, a friend of hers was chased by a man near campus on her way home from mass and that, although she got away, the incident left her shaken. “I think it is a brilliant idea,” she said, referring to the walk. “If you’re any girl walking around at night without mace or anything, there’s a chance you could get raped, and rape is nothing to laugh about.” Burford said student input is crucial in making the campus a safer place. “We just don’t want to have somebody from the Physical Plant to give one assessment, we want several students’ assessments as well,” he said. Burford said about 100 students are expected to attend the event tonight. He said most student volunteers are recruited from residence halls on campus, Lobo Village and fraternities and sororities. He said several resident assistants and community assistants have already committed to attend with some of their residents. “All those groups live on campus so they have more of an investment in coming out,” he said. Burfod said even a simple
activity like the safety walk helps improve campus safety by providing better lit walkways and an overall feeling of security. “As far as crimes that might happen outside, I haven’t seen a big issue with this, but there have been issues which is why we have the walk,” he said. “And the perception of people feeling safe is also important.” DeVargas Hall resident adviser Mari Young said she hopes to bring several of her residents to the event. “There’s a lot of areas on campus that people might not readily know are unsafe or could be potentially unsafe,” she said. “When you do a walk-through, you get to see what lights are out, which areas don’t have blue poles, especially in isolated areas around campus.”
People who want to participate in the safety walk should meet at 7 p.m. tonight in SUB Ballroom C.

Analyst urges NM detox by Zuzanna Kajzer news@dailylobo.com
Fatal drug overdoses occur in New Mexico at a rate double that of the rest of the country. According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2009 about 12 per 100,000 deaths in the United States were the result of an overdose. But in New Mexico, that rate was about 22 per 100,000 deaths. In 2011, the rate for drug overdose deaths in New Mexico increased to about 27 per 100,000 deaths. In 2011, New Mexico state Sen. Bernadette Sanchez (D-Bernalillo) sponsored Senate Memor ial 18, “New Mexico Drug Task Force,” which carries out an initiative to conduct a statewide substance abuse review and finds ways to potentially minimize the problem. The review is an annual plan that documents the extent of New Mexico’s substance abuse problem. Its aim is to present the effectiveness of the already implemented changes and describe the needs for the future. Policy analyst Harris Silver gave a talk on Nov. 5 about ways to prevent substance abuse problems.
Silver said that, although New Mexico has some of the highest rates of drug overdose and abuse, the state is the second to last in the country in terms of access to substance abuse treatment. He said prescription opioid painkillers are the leading cause for drug overdose, killing more people than illegal substances such as heroin and cocaine.
“America is a ‘pain killer nation.’” ~Harris Silver New Mexico Drug Task Force policy analyst According to the CDC, prescription opioid overdoses accounted for 35,500 deaths in the United States in 2011, while illegal drugs accounted for about 20,700 deaths. “America is a ‘pain killer nation,’” he said. “Anyone know what is the most popular prescribed drug? It’s not Viagra, it’s Vicodin.” Silvers said people who don’t have access to prescription drugs turn to cheaper and more acces-
sible drugs, such as heroin, which has similar effects to prescription painkillers. He said some even resort to stealing medication from others’ medicine cabinets. “You wouldn’t believe how many people pretend to be potential house buyers only to visit houses and go through owners’ medicine cabinets,” he said. Silver said people should quit taking drugs before addictions develop and get evaluated for vulnerability to substance abuse. States should increase residents’ accessibility to Narcan, a drug that counteracts the overdose effects of opiates, and enforce drug laws. Silver said the New Mexico Prescription Drug Monitoring Program mandates that all controlled-substance providers register with the program. It also requires pharmacies to report prescription drug purchase information. The program began in 2005 with $250,000 in federal grant funding, but the program has not received funding since its creation. “We have a disastrous health care system,” he said. “And it can get worse any day.”

Letter
Philippines’ cybercrime law attacks free speech Editor, On Sept. 12, the Philippine government signed a new “cybercrime” law into effect. On the surface, the law seemed like a good step toward finally making the Internet a safe place by punishing cases of identity theft, child pornography and hacking. The law would quickly lose that status, and effectively turn Philippine cyberspace into a police state, with the inclusion of a section on libel. Libel, as defined by the Philippine penal code, is any statement or action that could be seen as character defamation, and is already illegal in every other form of media. The cybercrime law would have made even a joke on a private Facebook page illegal, and the publisher, as well as anyone who “liked” the status, could face hefty fines and jail time. The cybercrime law is tyrannical, striking a blow against net neutrality and making huge sections of the population criminals. It removed any semblance of free speech from the country, and with the aid of IP tracking to find the source of libel, the anonymity of the Internet. The creation of libel laws can be a good thing; such laws can moderate hate speech and make citizens more mindful of their words. The Philippine government clearly had no such intentions for the law, though. Former first gentleman Jose Arroyo has a history of suing over the slightest of remarks, and the wording of existing libel law is such that any form of criticism in any form of media could be seen as libel. Taking this into account, the inclusion of libel into the cybercrime law was clearly done purely to silence dissenting voices within the country. There is good news. On Oct. 9, due to pressure from various human rights groups, the Philippine Supreme Court suspended the law. But how fortunate is that? The law is no longer in effect, but the fact that, even for the briefest time, it was, has set a precedent for any other country that wishes to remove the freedom of speech that can be found on the Internet. The Internet is the last place many people can go to express their lack of faith in their government, and has proven essential to turning the tides against oppressive governments — for example, the Arab Spring was aided in large part by communication over social networking sites. The Philippines’ Cybercrime Prevention Act succeeded where SOPA, PIPA and ACTA failed, if only for a short span of time. This should scare everyone who values free speech and everyone who wishes to be able to raise their voice in opposition to their government. The Internet is neutral and the most fertile ground for free speech; we cannot let it become a police state. As one anonymous Filipino blogger put it, we must continue to practice our right to free speech on the Internet, because by accepting laws like these, they have won and silenced the world.

Letters Bureau of Elections chief suppressed voters again Editor, The situation with long lines in Rio Rancho is simply voter suppression. Take a picture of voter suppression and it would look like the picture on the front page of the Albuquerque Journal on Wednesday morning. Eddie Gutierrez, our entrenched bureaucrat and Bureau of Elections chief, has pulled this stunt before. For those who defend by focusing elsewhere, I contend the 2004 election documented that, again, too few machines were provided to the same polls. The middle school was the focus of long lines and voting past 10 p.m. The culprit, again, was Gutierrez. As a challenger in 2004, my calls to the clerk starting at 10 a.m. were rebuffed. It took news cameras at 4 p.m. to get machines arriving at 5:30 p.m., and still we finished voting after 10:30 p.m. Same decisions, same guy and same district. To those who would redirect attention: The clerk is to blame, not the Secretary of State. Per state statute 1-10-2: “The County Clerk shall prepare and supply the ballots … The Secretary of State may assist in preparing and supplying ballots.” Key words here are shall and may. Finger-pointing about calls to the Secretary of State around Oct. 28 are without merit. Blaming the County Commission by arguing it approved the sites and machines? It was Gutierrez who gave the information excluding the fact that each machine produces 90 ballots per hour. Why was information omitted? Here’s the math: 15 machines x 90 ballots = 1350 ballots x 12 hours = 16,200 ballots produced for a population of 90,000. Either no thought or a whole lot of thought went into allocation of resources. If it is much thought, then you must conclude bias. If it is little thought, then you must conclude ineptitude. Either route leads to a decision that Gutierrez must be fired. He chose not to deal with the issue and the County Commission chose not to ask during the canvassing board — a mistake by both. After Gutierrez’s failure to explain
to the press and the public at Wednesday night’s canvassing board meeting, firing is the only acceptable response. Voters should not have to endure such inexcusable behavior, and it should not be tolerated. If any one of us had performed this poorly, we would surely be fired. Todd R. Hathorne Daily Lobo reader
Cum-themed letters are unbecoming, Daily Lobo Editor’s note: This letter is in response to “Cigarettes harm health and libido, killing slowly,” published in Thursday’s Daily Lobo. In the letter, Daily Lobo reader Don Schrader explains why he is a non-smoker and expresses distaste for others’ smoking habits. Editor, I enjoy reading the Daily Lobo, but I find it disturbing that the letters to the editor usually have strong sexual summaries. I don’t mind if this is between a man and a woman, or a man with a man or a woman with a woman. However, I would greatly appreciate it if you could stop publishing these. This paper should be about news, not about a man wanting another man’s cum in his mouth. Joey Elmblad UNM student
Astrology infects its believers with fatalism Editor’s note: This letter is in response to “Mercury’s retrograde forebodes national ills,” published in Friday’s Daily Lobo. The column discussed recent astrological phenomena in relation to the current political climate. Editor, First we had the appearance of horoscopes spewing their sympathetic mumbo jumbo in the Daily Lobo, and now credence is being lent to astrology by no less than
your opinion editor. And you wonder why so many UNM students do so poorly on science, statistics and the fact-based predictive power that goes with aligning with it instead of some distant pattern of stars and planets. If there is anything retrograde, it is these nonsensical beliefs developed at a time when science, especially psychology, had not yet developed. Folklore and superstition abounded. Astrology was put into place by the likes of the priesthood in India, claiming esoteric knowledge. Their smoke screen was spun from attractively geometric charts and computations based improbably on birth dates. This was part of a grand design by the Brahmins to ossify the caste system where said birth was seen in the context of being born into a certain caste and being forced to remain in it for the rest of your life. This is what leads to fatalism, so you gave these charlatans money to at least make a little sense of your powerless life. The danger at UNM is that this quackery dovetails with similar hogwash perpetrated by religious fundamentalism. The larger danger is impressionable young students being seduced by the grand, romantic phraseology of astrology and planning their lives accordingly, using their horoscope as an excuse for any failure. Better to recognize the rights and responsibilities that go with choice at every moment in our lives, so that we can change bad things for the better. Arun Anand Ahuja UNM student

laughing, and I was like, ‘Ahhh, but it’s so serious,’” she said. Dombek said that once she realized people found her act hilarious, she embraced it. “You know I’m all about laughing and people giggling and ‘Oh my god, what is she doing?’” she said. Dombek said the talent show has grown during the last few years. This was her third year competing. The first year she placed second, and last year she came in third. She said she hoped to receive a high five for her efforts this year. “I don’t think people see dance as, like, a talent. It’s kind of like, you know, do it for a little while and you got it,” she said. Dombek said the wig and other elements of her costume were handmade. “I put hours into this wig and … I mean, it’s a hot mess, but I still put work into this,” she said Contestant Andrew Montano has played the guitar since he was 5. He entered last year’s talent show but was unable to participate because he was in a car accident that night. “The car was totaled, so I had to

A stepping trio made up of Erin Kathmann, Orlando Obeso and William Campillo won second place and $350. “Habibis of the Middle East,” a belly dance group, and Adverse, a rapper, tied and split the third place winnings of $150. Dombek is a senior majoring in cinematic arts. She said she has always had a creative streak; she participated in theater in high school and has performed in various shows during her college career. Dombek’s act for the show is supposed to be funny, but she said that wasn’t her intention when she first started practicing her Gaga act. “Two friends and myself had done Lady Gaga pieces that were very serious, and people were always

Three years ago, he learned about a new style of playing he calls “finger style.” He never strums the guitar,
but only plays on the fretboard. He began posting videos of himself on YouTube playing covers of songs by Greg Merkle. Merkle discovered the videos and flew from New Jersey to
New Mexico to play with Montano at his high school graduation. “I imagine for most people, it will be something they’ve never seen before,” he said.

BOSTON — A Massachusetts fisherman has caught a creepy-looking lobster that’s colored to match Halloween. The New England Aquarium says the 1-pound female lobster has an orange side and a black side, with the colors split perfectly down the middle. Marine officials say such coloration is estimated to occur once in every 50 million lobsters. The fisherman who caught the seasonally colored crustacean in a trap last week is from Beverly, a seaside community 20 miles northeast of Boston. The rare lobster is known as a split. Aquarium officials said Wednesday splits have been caught in Maine, Rhode Island and Nova Scotia in the last 10 years.
