The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895
The Daily Lobo sat down with candidates from both slates running for ASUNM senator positions, Voice and Make Your Mark, to ask what they plan to do if elected to the Senate.
Make Your Mark
Voice
What programs would you increase support for? Caroline Muraida: “We are looking at creating better channels of communication between student organizations like Veterans Affairs and LGBTQ …to better represent students.” Brandon Meyers: “We are looking at starting off with bill and resolution workshops… that are incorporated in the budget process. Every student organization that requests funding has to go through the budget process, so I would like to incorporate a segment where we discuss mechanisms for expressing our voice, how to change things in ASUNM, showing organizations how to write legislation.”
Joe Stevens: “As a legislator, I have to let organizations focus on what they know. The Veterans Affairs association knows about veterans affairs, I’m not going to say I know better. It’s most important for senators to get done what organizations want to see done. We need more accountability from senators to their organizations and just getting them to be a force in those various organizations.” Anthony Santistevan: “We want to make sure that the great outreach that ASUNM has had is continued. We want to continue support Howl-Raisers, which is a club where you get points for attending athletic events…and can get things like T-shirts for participating…but we want to expand this to all social events on campus…to increase student participation.”
In these harsh economic times, there isn’t enough funding to go around at the University. What programs would you cut, or decrease ASUNM’s involvement in? Muraida: “Our approach to the economic climate isn’t one that is solely centered on cutting things. Budget cuts are going to happen in all departments all across campus. Looking toward the future, what we want to focus on is when we are spending money, how are we spending this money? For instance the infrastructure of the University, we know that ASUNM does not directly fund it, but we know that ASUNM has a voice…we can say, ‘Hey if you are building a new structure, make sure it’s sustainable.’” Meyers: “We are looking at the tuition credit, and it is completely within reach to cut that … what we want to see is actively working with institutions all across New Mexico to do that. We are already working with GPSA to write joint legislation on that.”
Stevens: “I haven’t looked at the actual budget, so I don’t want to say that I want to cut anything at this point. What I would like to speak on is what I would like to improve. We would like to expand ELL (Emerging Lobo Leaders, a program designed to involve incoming freshmen in ASUNM government).” Santistevan: “We need to see what is working on campus. We have done such a great job with outreach and we want to continue to do that work … One of my favorite organizations is Student Special Events, and I want to continue that. Students want to be involved with their campus and involved in the University.”
How is your slate different than the slate you are running against? Meyers: “What we provide is extreme diversity. We have two engineering majors, we have a member of (Queer Straight Alliance) and a student that is non-traditional — she is a mom — and we have an RA. When you start putting all these things together, my thought from day one is that we are more representative … when considering legislation their (the senators on the ‘Voice’ slate) first thought is going to be, ‘how does that affect my constituents?’”
Santistevan: “There are a lot of similarities, but the biggest difference I can see is that we started early. We have spoken to over 30 student organizations, we launched the page at least a month ago and we have been working with student organizations and planning our platform.”
What experience would you bring to ASUNM that would be beneficial? Muraida: “Each individual has their own unique experience to bring to the slate. As far as experience is concerned I encourage you to check out the bios on our facebook page for all of the student organizations, clubs, and other activities (our slate members are involved in).” Meyers: “We have three current senators on the slate, Caroline Muraida, myself and Jeff Herrera, and I think that brings a different leadership style.”
Stevens: “We have people involved in Emerging Lobo Leaders, and I wasn’t a part of ASUNM, but I was keeping up on events there. This last summer I worked for Tom Udall … I got a lot of experience writing and implementing legislation and seeing the natural structure of the government and that makes what happens here a lot easier. We have a lot of involvement with student organization groups, for instance Victoria Archuleta founded Net Impact (a student business organization).” ~compiled by Luke Holmen

Luis Suárez is the principal psychic reader at Nob Hill Psychics and Healers. He sat down with the Daily Lobo to explain how to improve intuition. He said such skills can even be useful in the professional world. DL: How did you get into reading? Luis Suárez: I found myself in 2000 trying to answer questions about me and about life. I got into all these things — meditation, energetic healings; I got into this direction, I started studying astrology, tarot, fundamentally to try to understand me. Finally, in the year 2006, I jumped into doing it for the public. DL: How does this help people? What can we learn? LS: It helps people to figure out what they’re not wanting to see, to bring it out into their forefront, to help themselves understand some things about themselves and about how life really works. Things that are outside of the domain of what they’ve taught us in our homes and schooling systems. If we just use information that’s been given in those environments, sometimes we find it very puzzling to understand what the hell is happening and why it is I’m reacting to things this way or that way. I try to give people insight and tools that they can actually develop themselves so they can understand and connect with their own sense of direction in life. DL: What kind of information does a psychic reading or tarot cards provide? LS: The cards try to give perspective on what’s really happening (in a person’s life) … they are talking about your reality right now.
Show me how to: Improve my intuition
DL: You see your role as a guide to helping people figure out things for themselves? LS: A guide and a facilitator to assist you to actually hone into your own power to really understand what you need to understand … because a large part of the information resides outside of the domain of what’s visible. You need to go into the domain of what’s not visible. In the same way that we connect (with distant family members through intuition) we can connect to whatever’s around us and at least get a feel. Most of the people that are intuitive … typically they feel. People (that are psychic) have exploited a talent that’s embedded in every human being and basically they’re using it for themselves first, because if you don’t know how to use it for yourself, how could you help others? Then you try to hone in and help other people to get that kind of clarity. DL: How would you recommend people go about improving their intuition? LS: As simple as experimenting with something that brings them into the intuitive domain. It could be as simple as throwing coins, ‘yes’ or ‘no’? More interestingly, if you ask meaningful questions, the answers, ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ that will come, will be the appropriate answers most of the time. Many people have experimented with a simple thing like that. There are many ways of developing intuition. If you’re going to become a lawyer … let’s say you’re practicing law … the first thing you need to have your intuition working is when you have that client in front of you, and you need to figure out if this client … is he going to come with me through all the things we’re going to have to go through and is still going to be a good solid defender of this cause? How are you doing to answer that any other way if it’s not intuition?

Abdallah quizzed at town hall by Chelsea Erven and Luke Holmen
Jessikha Williams / Daily Lobo Interim Provost Chaouki Abdallah and Associate Provost for Curriculum Greg Heileman listen as student Hannah Syme addresses the provost office staff.
New Mexico Daily Lobo
UNM Interim Provost Chaouki Abdallah fielded student questions about tuition costs and University expenses on Monday by citing dwindling funding from the state. Abdallah said the state funds only 14 percent of UNM’s total costs. “We only get $160 million (per year) from state funding, and it takes about $2 billion (per year) to run this University,” he said. “Someone told me we used to be state funded universities, then we were stated supported, then we were stated tolerated, and now we are state located.” Michael Dougher, vice provost for Academic Affairs, said the state’s tuition credit is to blame. “The amount of state support is dwindling nationally, to the point where you really don’t have state funded universities,” he said. “So tuition has to inCulture Editor Alexandra Swanberg Assistant Culture Editor Nicole Perez Sports Editor Nathan Farmer Assistant Sports Editor Cesar Davila Copy Chief Craig Dubyk Multimedia Editor Junfu Han
crease, but where the real problem is, is that where the tuition goes up, the state charges the tuition credit so you are getting less in proportion to what you are paying and that is a huge problem.” Students had the opportunity to quiz Abdallah and his office staff during the town hall meeting hosted by GPSA and ASUNM. Christopher Ramirez, a graduate student and vice president for Equity and Inclusion, asked how UNM is working to increase minority graduation rates. Abdallah said he isn’t happy with UNM’s graduation rates. “We are concerned about the graduation rate being 45 percent over six years.” he said, “And the way we are addressing it is by specifically creating grants for those minority groups whose graduation rates are suffering, and support programs for them.” Abdallah also addressed student concerns about tuition and fees. He said it costs UNM about $16,000 per

year to fund one student’s academics, and UNM’s tuition is lower than many of its peer institutions. Greg Hielman, associate provost for curriculum, answered student concerns on the complicated UNM advising process. He said UNM is looking at ways to create a more efficient system with the help of off-campus consultants, and new web-based advising systems. “One of the difficulties is that students are advised in multiple places on campus,” he said. “Trying to make that all work together is difficult but necessary.” GPSA representatives expressed concerns about how much of a student’s tuition goes to auxiliary services like athletics and Popejoy Hall, but Abdallah said those services create a positive college experience. “Students want athletics, dorms, Popejoy … and they don’t want what is most efficient, which would be one lecturer in front of 200 students with a lot of TAs.” he said.

Stress management workshop
drugs and alcohol Workshop
UNM Student Health and Counseling center offers students great, free workshops. The workshop was a four-part series that started Nov. 2. Unfortunately, the first two have already passed, but there is no obligation to go to all four, so there’s no excuse not to get your stress under wraps. The workshops are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you are interested in attending, you must register online at shac.unm.edu or by calling 277-4537.
I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but here is another free workshop. This one is about your relationship with drugs and alcohol. Now before you dismiss it as another round of ‘just say no,’ think again. It’s advertised as a non-judgmental workshop where participants examine how drugs and alcohol can help or hurt their daily lives and emotions, and about the norms of behavioral change. You have to register online or by phone for this one, too. Visit shac.unm.edu or call 2774537. The workshop is from 3 to 5 p.m.
WEDNESDAY
Garlic planting workshop THURSDAY
UNM’s very own Lobo Gardens offers free gardening workshops each month. The month’s workshop is at the UNM Telehealth Garden at 1005 Columbia NE. The workshop starts at 2 p.m. For more information about the Lobo Gardens workshop series, visit unmlobogardens.wordpress.com/ . Also, it can’t hurt to have free vampire protection. On that topic, the Urban Store is offering free workshops this Thursday and Saturday. The first covers the basics of composting, especially composting in winter.

The post on Craigslist was vague, specifying no address, so you will just have to contact them at the email address linked on the listing. Also for free on Craigslist are Bird of Paradise plants. The ad states you have to dig them up yourself in Rio Rancho, so call ahead to make sure they’ve withstood the cold weather. If those don’t pan out, you could cheer yourself up with some free railroad ties. The ad states there are about 10 railroad ties located at the end of a cul-de-sac near Candelaria Road and Rio Grande Boulevard.

EDITORIAL Put your ambition and skills to the test, for pay Readers, haters and anyone else who has turned to the opinion section today: You might have seen fliers or ads for the first ever Daily Lobo Open House. Let me assure you, cynical readers, these announcements are no hoax, and we are opening our metaphorical and literal doors to anyone interested in writing for this fine publication.

All you need is desire, and we’ll cover the rest. So please, don’t hesitate to come to our forum. Editors from all three desks — news, sports and culture — will attend, so there is something for whatever your interest might be. Bring a résumé, a writing sample (any sort is fine) and you’ll be interviewed on the spot. Who knows, this might change the entire direction of your life and the cosmos with it. Or maybe you’ll just have a chance to make a little bit more pocket money. Regardless, what do you have to lose? Chris Quintana Editor-in-chief

Column
Wooley’s Weekly Wisdom
Hey Lobos! We are happy to introduce our newest columnist and advice giver, Ryan Wooley. His column will be a weekly feature. He’s been on the campus for a while now, works in CAPS, and is an all-around good guy from whom to get advice. Without further ado, here’s the first entry:
Can’t wait for Winter Break I’m having some troubles staying motivated for my classes and homework, any advice on how to stay motivated till Christmas break? Burning out in ‘Burque Dear Burning, First off, you should know everyone hits “the wall” around this time of the year. Here are some tips that may help: Get off Facebook: I know most of us are addicted, so even if it’s just for an hour at a time, focus for that hour, then take 10 minutes and do whatever you want. Then have another strong hour of focus. Balls up: Tell your friends you have to get your work done, regardless of the cost. It’s amazing how much money you save not going out and how much less stressed you and your friends will be when you’re not all out at the movies, each thinking of the papers you have to begin writing for the next day’s class. Make a list/schedule: I’m a visual person, so if I can write out every single thing I have due, that in itself helps put things into perspective. Then, ask yourself what the biggest and smallest items on your list are … and knock ‘em out one-by-one. Some like to start with the smallest and easiest things because they feel like they build momentum to conquer their academic behemoths. I like to start with the biggest one and work down through the easy stuff. Planning/Time Management: This one is really the most important. Know where your time is going and set yourself up to succeed, with planned time just to write your paper or just to study, and then stick to it. Don’t let friends or distractions get in the way. Granted, we love our friends, but they’re probably in the same boat you are (and it sucks taking a class over again, I assure you). Plan times to study, plan times for homework and paper writing, and I don’t mean the night before it’s due. If you give yourself time, you’ll be much less stressed and the quality of your work will be better. Remember the money you spent: How
much money are you paying for tuition and/or books? Remember that dough — don’t waste it. Working out: When you get tired from working so hard, or you can’t think of how to reframe what you’re trying to say in a paper, sometimes a simple run around the block can help. You’ll get your blood pumping and have time to “run” over the situation in your mind. And finally, sleep: If you do everything before this step that I said, good, but make it a priority to sleep. You can’t function on no sleep … er, some can. You won’t function/think/do as good of work as if you sleep. I hope this helps you out. Ultimately though, it’s up to you! Reset your mind and focus.
Can I make love persist?
Do you think that if love is persistent, it will prevail? I guess this can’t really be summed up by this simple question, because sometimes the other end may be opposing, or be consumed by fear that love will fail, which could hold them from pursuing what could be. But anyway, do you think if so, it will? Lobo in Love Dear Lobo, Good question. I’ll answer by reframing your question — you ask if love is persistent and will prevail. I’ll ask you, does love ever fail? A lot of people define “love” in different ways. For me, the best definition I can find out of everything I’ve read or seen is in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. It reads: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” It’s beautiful, right? But what does it mean, and is it true? Well, I think that’s up to some people to decide for themselves. As for me, I really like this definition of love because it describes its characteristics as if it were a person. I’d say, “well, she’s about this high, brunette, amazing smile, and she really
enjoys …” It tells us basically that when we love, it is selfless, giving, ridiculously unlike the world we know or how most relationships are. If this is true love, and people operate in this form of love, if they love others the way this verse is described, how very beautiful would that be? I don’t think that kind of love could ever fail. Getting back to your original question, I think that love in itself is persistent. It has to be, in order for it to be patient, trusting, and hopeful. As far as love prevailing, I don’t know. I think if you accept the definition found in 1 Corinthians to be true, love can’t prevail because love has no goals. Having looked at a definition of love, I’ve addressed what I feel love is, that it is persistent as a characteristic in nature and does (in itself) prevail. However, I hate to assume your intent, but I’m guessing this is unsatisfactory for you. I think your specific question and most people’s questions leave out the most important variable: We are so simple and yet complex in our emotions and thoughts, how we act and why we do what we do. We don’t think of love in the way described above because our experiences with each other have conditioned us to think otherwise. When we start trying to love others, we are often vulnerable, and that’s scary for some. Naturally, because we are human, we will screw up and some people get hurt. I’ll end with this: We’re all human and on this Earth together. We are communicative and relational beings. We can’t even survive as babies without someone taking care of us. Then we learn to walk and talk by watching others. If you truly love someone, that’s amazing. Love them whole-heartedly, but know that the person with which you are in love has no responsibility to love you back. It’s completely counter to our cultural way of thinking, but that’s the beauty of love, that it’s a one-way gift, given out of free will without logical reason or expectation. If you have questions that need answering please send an email to rwooley@unm.edu He’d be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have.

“You were born that way. Even if you were born a shoe, you don’t have to be a shoe”
Adria Malcolm/ Daily Lobo Left to right: Ellen Kress, Elizabeth Dombek and Josh Dolin. The trio is Lady Gaga Dance Explosion 2.0, a dance group dedicated to Gaga. They took home the third place prize of $150 during the Lobos Got Talent show Friday at the SUB. “I’ve been writing poetry my whole life; I started slamming in high school,” Kennedy said. “Rapping probably comes from teenage-y, angst-y years when I was really hashing stuff out in my life and I just used that as a platform. It’s so much more legit.” Kennedy said this was her first talent show. “I actually was just getting myself a pancake coupon for Denny’s and I saw the little ad right next to it,” Kennedy said. “I wrote the song two weeks ago and I came across
the ad and I was like ‘I just wrote a song. I should sing the song I just wrote.’” The third place winner, Gaga Dance Explosion 2.0, also performed in last year’s competition. They came up with the Gagaesque exhibition when they performed for a cabaret earlier that year. The group was composed of three scantily clad dancers, one of whom was wearing a greenish-blue wig

Group member Ellen Kress said she admires Gaga for her showmanship. “She’s just crazy and out there and she’ll show up in a blue wig and be like ‘Here I am, love me,’” Kress said. “You were born that way. Even if you were born a shoe, you don’t have to be a shoe.” Gaga group member Elizabeth Dombek said their performance is a testament to Gaga’s beliefs. “She’s got a good message, it comes down to that,” she said. “Just love yourself. It’s nice that we can come together; even though we’re not dancers, we can express ourselves.” Lindquist said he encourages students to get involved. “This is the only time we see them,” he said, “and if this is the opportunity they would like to take to get involved and show their talents, we love them, we reach out.”

event organizers also collaborated with CNM students for the drive. “I feel this (event) is different because … it’s a collaboration of many different entities trying to do something, rather than just one student organization on campus,” he said. Curtis said he tries to connect with younger students and members of the broader community through the events he organizes. “I like networking. I’m at a point, as a senior, that I’m trying to do as much positive stuff, not for myself, but for my campus and my younger colleagues (as I can),” he said. “I feel like you can’t do this without other people; you can’t just do this by yourself It takes a village to raise a child.”

From collecting dust to collecting donations, old ski equipment is available today for free at the Extreme Ski Swap fundraiser. The fundraiser, organized by the Black Student Union and NMX Sports, will benefit NMX Sports’ project, Warehouse 508, and help Albuquerque’s youth, said D’Andre Curtis, BSU’s president. Also an intern at Warehouse 508, Curtis said he saw a pile of old sporting equipment in the warehouse basement and decided to use it to make an event. “I was just cleaning the cages and happened to have a brilliant idea,” he said. “I mean, why not sell it, get a few shillings, and put it towards something good?” Curtis said items include a few computer monitors, bicycle rims, inline skates and an outdated iMac. Campus policy states goods cannot be sold on campus without the University’s permission, even if it is through a chartered student organization. “It’s a ‘give what you can’ kind of thing,” Curtis said. “Come early,
there’s some really nice stuff.” He said Warehouse 508 is a space designed specifically to get youth involved in a variety of activities. “It’s a youth creativity venue, so they have a recording studio, a Mac lab, but it is basically for youth to do different things that are non-traditional, not necessarily sports,” he said. Lorin Merkley, employee at NMX Sports, said the sports programs they choose to include are non-traditional. “So basically anything that doesn’t use a ball,” Merkley said. “Snowboarding, skiing, that kind of stuff.” Merkley said the event is unique because the proceeds benefit the community as a whole. “Most of the other events that campus groups put on go towards the clubs and stuff there at UNM,” he said. “This one’s going towards the youth of Albuquerque who don’t have the money to afford the type of programs we offer.” BSU is also leading a food drive that will end Thursday. Other proponents include the American Institute of Architecture Students, Powerful Movement of Educated Sisters and Black Men in Motion. Curtis said
