Awaiting budget shift from the Roundhouse LEGISLATIVE SESSION

by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo

The UNM administration is waiting with bated breath to hear what cuts or increases will come out of the New Mexico legislative session, which begins today.

Tom Clifford, chief economist of the New Mexico Legislative Finance Committee, made sobering budgetary predictions during a presentation to the Board of Regents at its meeting Jan. 12.

An increase in tuition and decrease in pay for UNM staff and faculty are two possible options to offset the estimated $200 million budget deficit, Clifford said, but it’s not the worst budget prognosis he’s seen.

“It’s a tough budget, but it’s not California,” he said.

Clifford said New Mexico’s total current revenue is $5.1 billion. The problems are occurring, he said, because the Legislative Finance Committee is recommending a $5.3 billion budget for the state. So, roughly $200 million may have to be collected through tuition increases and pay cuts, Clifford said.

“In terms of what I’m looking at in the rearview mirror, I really haven’t seen anything positive at this point,” Clifford said. “I haven’t seen anything begin to turn up the way we’re going to need it to.”

Clifford said the LFC is suggesting a 2 percent salary reduction for all public employees – including

teachers in public schools and colleges. This will give the state approximately $76.2 million.

The LFC is also suggesting a 6 percent tuition increase — roughly $150 — for students who are residents, according to Clifford’s presentation.

Non-resident students would be hit with a 15 percent increase, or around $1,300 dollars more per semester.

“Everything is unpopular,” he said.

“I haven’t seen anyone really jump to embrace any of these proposals.”

Clifford said $600 million in federal stimulus money could be on the way to New Mexico, but no one knows when, or if, it will be available.

“The House of Representatives has passed a bill that would increase aide to the states,” he said. “In New Mexico’s case, over $600 million of additional aid to the state. We don’t know what the status of that will be in the senate.”

Marc Saavedra, director of the UNM Office of Government and Community Relations, said tuition increases would be covered by the Lottery scholarship. But, only about 20 percent of students on main campus have the scholarship, he said.

UNM is not supporting the Legislative Finance Committee’s recommendations, Saavedra said. UNM is firmly against salary reductions and tuition increases, he said.

“We’re saying, ‘If you need that money, don’t do it to the tuition. It’s a tax on the students,’” Saavedra said.

“We’re also being realistic. We are still in a decline, so there are going to be cuts.”

New Mexico’s policymakers are going to toss around plenty of jargon over the next month or so when deciding if they should increase taxes or student tuition. So, the Daily Lobo compiled a list of terms and definitions to help you understand what the heck they’re talking about. E-mail us at news@dailylobo.com with suggestions of what else we need to define.

Fiscal year: A period used for calculating financial situations and outcomes that runs, in New Mexico, from July 1 to June 30.

Gross Receipts Tax: Taxes on consumer goods. The GRT is a good indicator of the state of New Mexico’s economy. Revenue from this tax decreased by 15 percent compared to last fiscal year.

Solvency: Solving and balancing the state’s budget.

Revenue: The majority of the state’s earnings come from the Gross Receipts Tax and Personal Income Tax. LFC: The Legislative Finance Committee is a full-time legislative committee with analysts

for every part of the state’s budget. They make recommendations on where to make cuts or increases.

DFA: The Department of Finance and Administration is a team of economists who work with the governor to make budget cuts.

Legislative Session: The New Mexico State Legislature gathers to discuss the state’s budget and other important state issues, and it lasts for 30 days.

I&G funds: Instruction and General Funds. At UNM, this money goes toward institutional support.

Special Projects: Funds for projects that increase student success, economic develop-

ment, research, healthy communities and statewide services. There are 104 special projects at UNM, including KNME, El Centro de la Raza and the UNM Children’s Hospital - Pediatric Oncology.

House Appropriations Finance Committee: Reviews recommendations from DFA and LFC to develop subcommittees. They make the final recommendation for the House to approve. Senate will make amendments, and the governor will sign to approve the fiscal year’s operating budget.

Tuition credit: Tuition increase.

Capital Outlay: Funds for construction, renovation and equipment projects for statewide

projects.

General Obligation Bond: A bill that must be passed before New Mexicans can vote on it

for the following November election. Money from the bond is for teaching facilities and libraries. UNM wants at least 32 percent of bond funds, since it has 32 percent of square footage for teaching facilities statewide. UNM also has 48 percent of enrollment statewide.

South campus student housing plan underway

by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo

New student housing is now a step closer to springing out of an empty lot on south campus.

The Board of Regents approved the preliminary materials for the south campus housing development at their Jan. 7 meeting, and the project is expected to break ground in the spring, said ASUNM senator David Conway.

“We went as quickly as possible, because we have so much of a demand for our dorms,” he said. “We are trying to expand the amount of dorms that we have as quickly as we can, but make sure we are doing it the right way as well.”

UNM contracted the American Campus Communities, a student housing development and managing business, to build and run the

new dorms. The dorms would offer housing for 864 students complete with in-suite washers and dryers, a workout space and a swimming pool.

The dorms will cost nearly $42 million to build. However, ACC is picking up the tab and plans to charge students around $580 a month through mandatory 12-month leases, said Kim Murphy, the UNM planning officer.

Conway said even though ACC hopes to make a profit from the dorms, their experience and efficiency should keep costs down for students.

“ACC is paying for it. We are not connected with buying these dorms,” he said. “It is a company that specifically builds and runs dorms. They are in it to make a profit, but they do it much better

than UNM can. They know exactly what to do — they have it down to a science. I think that is why they are able to build a product much faster and they know exactly what goes into it so they can make it a lot cheaper.�

The 18.62 acre lot, located off Avenida de Cesar Chavez, will have beds arranged in four-bedroom units, with each student getting their own room, closet and bathroom and sharing a living space and kitchen with roommates, said Jamie Wilhelm, ACC’s executive vice president of public-private partnerships.

Wilhelm said ACC’s plans for the dorms are not purely for profit.

Instead, they are trying to cultivate an academic environment for the University community. “We will utilize our own financial resources to build the dorms,� he said. “It is not just a real estate transaction from the American

Campus perspective. This is a community that needs to be in an academic environment or else we will not be satisfied with the outcome.�

Walt Miller, associate vice president for Student Life, said new dorms would help to alleviate dorm overcrowding. “We have talked about the need of various housing on this campus to meet our student population needs,� he said. “This is step one of the project. What we are really trying to do is address the total student housing need on this campus, and we are really looking forward to this.�

The creation of a student community is the main goal of the development and a major component of that is the community center, Wilhelm said. “The community center is the heart and soul of the community — it’s where business functions occur; it’s where academic achievement

occurs; it’s where socialization occurs,� he said. “It will have success center components to it with individual study rooms, computer labs and so forth.�

The effort to increase upperclassmen on-campus residence is directly tied to increasing student success, Conway said. “The statistics are pretty staggering that students that live on campus succeed better,� he said. “They are retained better and they do better in school so having more students on campus will be beneficial.�

ASUNM President Monika Roberts said she’s researched similar ACC housing projects in Phoenix, Ariz. and other college campuses. “I would like to show my support for the approval of the south campus housing for American Campus Communities,� she said. “I believe that this housing project is critical to the future of the university.�

Council to decide where budget cuts aremadeafterthelegislativesession,he said, as long as the legislature doesn’t mandate where specific cuts must be made.

David Conway, UNM student and director of the ASUNM Lobby Committee, said a tuition increase may force some students to drop out of school. “I think a lot of students are going to have to be making that decision, whether or not they can afford it,� Conway said. “That’s not really acceptable.�

Conway said ASUNM also supports the DFA’s recommendation for a 3 percent overall cut to UNM, if cuts must be made. “I think that the University knows itself better than anyone else,� he said. “And, I think that if we have the ability to say where the money comes from then we’re going to be able to protect more services that we feel students desperately need.�

Administration – the Governor’s sector of analysts who also prepare a budget proposal – did not outline any further cuts for UNM, he said.

However, Saavedra said the DFA could find itself adding a 3 percent cut to UNM’s budget as the session progresses. UNM supports the DFA’s recommendation, because it allows UNM to decide where budget cuts will be made. “UNM right now supports the DFA recommendation because it doesn’t support reduction in salaries,� he said. “They’re looking at a 3 percent cut that they’ll implement during the session and they’ll give us full flexibility to implement that. That’s the recommendation that we like.�

The LFC is recommending a 4.1 percent total cut to UNM, Saavedra said, plus tuition increase and salary decrease. The administration would use input from the Regents, President Schmidly, Provost’s Office, ASUNM, GPSA, Faculty Senate and Staff

Looming slashes in NM legislation

by Barry Massey

The Associated Press SANTA FE, N.M. — New Mexico lawmakers return to work next week to deal with a troublesome electionyear assignment: potentially raising taxes, cutting money for schools and slashing government services to balance the state budget.

The Legislature convenes Tuesday for a 30-day session that offers Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson a last chance to shape his political legacy with changes in state law.

Richardson’s second term expires at the end of the year. He can’t run for a third term because of term limits.

“They should not treat me as a lame duck, because I am not going to be a lame duck,” Richardson said.

If dealing with budget problems wasn’t enough work, Richardson will ask lawmakers to consider an ambitious and potentially contentious package of proposals ranging from domestic partnerships for same-sex couples, creating a governmental ethics commission and mandatory jail time for first-time drunken driving convictions.

Under the state Constitution, 30day sessions are limited to budget and revenue measures and those proposals added to the agenda by the governor.

Domestic partnerships failed in last year’s Legislature, as did an ethics commission, but Richardson said they’re “unfinished business” for his final year in office.

The budget looms as the biggest headache for lawmakers and Richardson. The recession and low energy prices have eroded state revenues. New Mexico expects to collect about $5.1 billion in the coming year.

However, the state is spending far more this year — about $5.7 billion on public education and other government programs.

To balance next year’s budget, lawmakers must decide how deeply to reduce spending and to raise taxes — if at all — to provide more revenue.

A tax increase will be a tough sell.

All 70 House members are up for election in November. Senators don’t have to run until 2012.

“It’s an election year. People in New Mexico are all having a tough time in some segments of the economy, and a tax increase, whether you are a Democrat or Republican, doesn’t sound like a real good idea,” said House GOP Leader Tom Taylor of Farmington.

Sen. John Arthur Smith, a Deming Democrat and chairman of the

Senate committee that handles tax and budget issues, said: “If the Senate had to take a vote right now, there wouldn’t be any tax increases.”

House Speaker Ben Lujan, DSanta Fe, said a combination of taxes and spending cuts will be necessary to deal with the budget.

Education accounts for the largest share of state spending, but Lujan said lawmakers will need to carefully trim money for public schools.

“It’s important that we fund them in a manner that they can provide a top-notch education for our children,” said Lujan, who opposes a proposal to reduce teacher salaries to save money.

Lawmakers — particularly Democrats — face pressure from unions and social advocacy groups to raise taxes rather than cut schools, health care and government services for the needy.

The American Federation of Teachers-New Mexico favors raising personal income taxes on the wealthy — a proposal Richardson opposes because it would roll back tax rate cuts he championed in 2003 to help recruit businesses to the state.

But Christine Trujillo, the union’s president, is delivering a blunt message to legislators.

Out of 23 total responses No, there will always be a way to get around security because of our innate human ingenuity. We can’t possibly foresee all the methods smugglers 39% come up with.

No, there are too many travelers at the airport, and unless they are each individually strip-searched and scanned, people can still flow through without 9% being thoroughly checked.

COLUMN

Safely coping with excessive body hair

by Dr. Peg

Daily Lobo columnist Dear Dr. Peg I enjoyed your column on balding in the Dec. 8 issue of the Daily Lobo.

At 52 years old, balding has never been a problem for me. I’m actually a hairy beast. Not only do I have plenty of hair on my head, but I’ve got it on my chest, back, arms, legs ... everywhere.

As a guy, I’ve never really concerned myself about this issue. However, if I did want to take the energy to be a little easier on the eyes, I wonder, what healthy options could I pursue to minimize all that hair and look more attractive and youthful?

— Hairy Beast Dear Hairy Beast, You may think that being “follicularly wellendowed” is unattractive, but some might disagree. Listen to the ancient Roman Juvenal who asserted, “A hairy body and arms indicate a manly soul.” In more modern times, Kahlil Gibran exhorted us to “forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.” Grecians used to offer locks of hair as sacrifice to the gods, and legends from Samson to Rapunzel speak of the power of the pelt.

That being said, as you are so clearly aware, modern American culture does tend to scorn the Sasquatch look. Visions of the beautiful body bald surround us in advertising and entertainment. Women shave, wax and pluck from pits to pubes and beyond. Men are following suit, dispatching hair from arms, back, chest and even scrotum, along with the traditional facial scrape. As a physician, I have witnessed every variation, believe me. So if you want to join the ranks of hair-free Americans, or even just curb some of your curls, here are your options: Hair removal methods can be loosely divided into temporary and permanent categories. I say loosely because often the socalled permanent methods turn out to be temporary.

Shaving, plucking, waxing and depilation are the usual temporary methods. Depilation uses chemicals to dissolve the exposed hair.

Shaving cuts the hair off at the base. Waxing and plucking pulls the hair out by the root.

These are all pretty safe methods, although

the skin can become irritated and infected by any of them, most commonly by shaving.

Shaving is the most temporary of these methods, since it only cuts the hair, which continues to grow from the hair follicle. To look and feel hairless, most people have to shave at least daily. A common myth is that your hair grows back thicker if you shave; this is not true. It’s just that the cut end feels coarser.

Waxing and plucking last longer than shaving because they pull the whole hair out, and the follicle then has to make a new hair.

Waxing is better for large areas than plucking, which is usually used on areas like eyebrows. Sometimes waxing and plucking can lead to permanent damage of the hair follicle, a desired result if you’re aiming for fuzz-free.

Yanking your hair out by the roots is also painful. Remember the scene from “The 40-YearOld Virgin” where he got his chest waxed? I’d think any man who saw that would steer clear of the wax pots, but no. We tolerate a lot when it comes to our personal image. Ask any woman who has had a Brazilian bikini wax.

Depilatory creams were all the rage when I was an adolescent, but are less popular now, probably because of the nasty smell and the risk of skin irritation. Still, they are a decent solution for some people, and the results last about two weeks. Another kind of cream, called Eflornithine or Vaniqa, is perfect for the bearded lady. This cream reduces hair growth by chemically inhibiting a crucial enzyme, and has been combined with laser therapy (see below) for quicker results. So far, it is only approved for facial hair on women.

Speaking of the bearded lady, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention bleaching as another option for follicular management. Many women find this to be a good way to hide their unwanted moustache. Using a special, gentler bleach than your kitchen bleach or your hair dye bleach, these creams just lighten the hair that is there rather than remove it. Guys can use this easy, inexpensive method too, but just remember all it does is change the hair color. A furry blond back is still a furry back.

“Permanent” methods include electrolysis, laser and pulsed light treatments. Electrolysis uses a needle to apply electricity to the hair bulb. There are two kinds of electrical currents, DC (direct current) and AC (alternating current). Direct current applied to the tissue turns natural saline into sodium

hydroxide, which chemically destroys the bulb. Alternating current, the more recently developed method, creates heat, which obliterates the follicle. Sometimes both are used together. As you might imagine, a hot needle in the skin can be painful, and the resulting destruction of tissue can cause scarring and pigment changes. Reportedly, even in the best hands, you’ll get 15 to 25 percent regrowth in six months, and one problem with electrolysis is that just about anyone can call themselves a professional. There are no standardized regulations for wielding the needle.

Laser and pulsed light are called photoepilation therapies. A laser can be set to a specific wavelength, and the one used for hair removal targets the melanin in the hair bulb. Melanin is the chemical that gives hair and skin its color. Because of this, one complication can be removal of pigment from nearby skin as well. Consequently, laser was originally best-suited for light-skinned people with dark hair. Advancements have been made, however, and new laser types can work on dark-skinned people as well. Laser is best suited for large areas, and usually requires four to six treatments spaced several weeks apart. Unpleasant side effects can include pain, redness, blistering, irritation and scarring. Oh, one more thing: Some people apply a topical anesthetic balm to the skin before a laser treatment to try to minimize the pain. A year ago, the FDA issued an alert after two women died — yes, died — after doing this when the balm was absorbed and wreaked havoc on their nervous system. So, be careful!

Clearly, there is no magic pill to help you lose those locks, but as you can see, there are many options. Good luck with your manscaping project!

Rent-able garden boasts local greens

by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo

Eating local fruits and vegetables doesn’t have to come at a high price.

Albuquerque residents have a couple options for getting local produce — they can rent a garden bed at a community garden or they can buy a produce box from a local farm.

Wade Patterson, community planner for the Harwood Art Center, said about four years ago residents from Wells Park/Sawmill neighborhood wanted a way to connect with their food and produce it on their own. To promote the idea, the Harwood Art Center helped build and manage a plot of land where people can rent garden beds for $25 per season.

“We started it as an outgrowth of a metropolitan redevelopment plan for the neighborhoods in the area,” Patterson said. “We found a woman named Dory Wegrzyn, and she was very excited about it. She sells at the Downtown Growers Market and has been an organizing force as well.”

Funding for the 21 garden beds comes from people who are interested in renting a bed as well as

grants, Patterson said.

“We got some funding from the Albert I. Pierce Foundation and rebuilt our beds,” he said. “We’ve managed to fill the plot every year.

We also, with some funding, purchased two 275-gallon water catchment storage devices (for watering the beds). Water has been our biggest challenge.”

The 9-feet-by-3-feet beds are rented from March to November.

The plot of land where the garden beds are located is on Eighth Street, north of Mountain Road.

Patterson said people of all ages have come to rent a garden bed, including the staff and boarders from Route 66 Hostel.

People who want to eat local produce but don’t have the green thumb to support their interests can participate in a Community Supported Agriculture program.

Several farms around Albuquerque participate in CSA programs, where farmers grow and store food and then send it out in boxes or have community members pick the produce up. The farms can charge either by the box or a one-time membership fee.

Farmer Spiral Blanton works at Erda Gardens, which participated

in Albuquerque’s CSA, in the South Valley. Blanton said CSAs are gaining popularity in Albuquerque because they offer an inexpensive way to eat local organic food.

“Last year we had 50 paid memberships plus another 10 people who did work trade,” Blanton said. “(Work trade) is a program where people can exchange work for vegetables, which is nice and it’s becoming more and more popular.”

Blanton said a membership costs $550 for a season, which runs from about May through October, and members can pick up a box every week from the farm.

“That price is based on trying to approximate what’s fair for the food, and work towards providing a living wage for the farmers,” Blanton said. “And also we wanted the price to reflect a fair price for the food but to be a better deal than what you would pay at Whole Foods.”

Blanton said they have an earlybird special: A membership costs $500 if members sign up before the end of February.

Blanton said Erda Gardens is hosting a welcome-back dinner on Feb. 28 to provide do-it-yourself gardening tips, and general

Zach Gould / Daily Lobo Student Alex Denbaars serenades the plants in Castetter Hall’s biology greenhouse Monday.

Denbaars plays the ukulele in a folk-punk band called Arroyo Deathmatch. Denbaars is the promoter for the house/venue called Heaven and Hell.

by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo

Alex Denbaars, UNM student, plays the ukulele and sings lead vocals in the punk-folk outfit “Arroyo Deathmatch.”

The band returned from its first tour, which lasted 10 days and stretched from Albuquerque to San Francisco. In addition to his work as a performer, Denbaars is also a promoter for the house music scene in Albuquerque and lives in the house/venue known as “Heaven and Hell.”

Daily Lobo: Your style has been described as punk-folk. Those two seem to go against each other. Can you tell me about how they mix?

Alex Denbaars: I feel, sonically, they seem hard to match, but I feel attitude-wise they are very similar.

I feel like punk is basically electric folk music at its core. Punk music has always been almost strictly underground — that means you have people writing songs about things that there aren’t other songs about.

Perhaps the songwriting itself isn’t very advanced or diverse, like folk music. It’s very simple in the way it’s played. There is a great diversity in the subject matter and the places people are drawing inspiration from. On that level, I think they are the same. Sonically, any really good performance has a punk element to it. It’s a certain enthusiasm. I feel that, if you can

bring that enthusiasm to folk music, it gives it a sort of punk sound.

DL: Going with that element of individuality, what are you writing about that other people are not?

AD: I write a lot of songs about the more unusual things that have happened to me.

DL: Can you elaborate?

AD: One of our songs is about how I got diagnosed with diabetes six months ago. I never heard a song about diabetes (laughs). I wrote a song about this time my girlfriend and I were driving to the community college in Santa Fe. We looked on the side of the road and there was this dog, and it was hit by a car, and we thought it was dead. As we drove by, it lifted its head up, and it was alive. We’re crying and really freaking out. We pulled over. We had to run the mile back up the highway to get to the dog. I picked it up, and it was bleeding everywhere. We waited two and half hours on the side of the road, waiting for animal control. Thousands of cars drove by us. Seven police officers drove by us. Two kids covered in blood on the side of the road with a dying dog and nobody stopped to help.

It’s not that my perspective is special from anyone else’s, but it’s just that punk and folk music are easy to play, and it allows everyone to express, or share, their own experiences. I feel mainstream music is mostly about heterosexual mainstream relationships between consenting adults. There’s not a lot of interesting perspectives. It’s people complaining about being famous and their heart is being broken.

DL: Do you feel the punk-folk brand allows for more originality?

AD: I feel the people who are interested in that kind of music are looking for that, too. I feel like that’s one of the strongest points

New Mexico Daily Lobo of the genre.

DL: Tell me more about your audiences. What makes them different?

AD: One of the cool things about tour is that every audience is different, because every city is different. We had everything from crust punks and radical anarchists groups listening to us to completely average people who dropped out of high school working a job or college students studying to be scientists. It really ran the gamut, which was really great. One of the advantageous things about mixing punk with folk is that it widens the audience a little bit. A lot of punk artists complain about “preaching to the choir” constantly. I feel a lot of folk-punk artists don’t have that problem. It doesn’t immediately isolate you, because it has a hand in things people are more used to.

DL: You play the ukulele. That’s an interesting instrument. How did that come up? How did you decide that was the instrument you were going to play?

AD: It was sort of an accident, I guess. I have been a vocalist for eight years singing in different music projects. I always sort of felt removed from my bandmates, because I didn’t play an instrument.

They are not different things, but in a band they feel different. So, I was interested in learning an instrument, and I didn’t have a lot of money at the time, and I walked into a music store one day, and I saw a ukulele for $30, and you can’t beat that. I got it, and it sat in my house for two and a half years, and then I started playing, and I just kept at it. I like uke because it’s really small. Sometimes when I’m sitting behind a guitar, I can’t even reach the other side. With uke, it’s really easy to handle. Guitars have six strings, and a lot of instruments have more strings than

Heaven and Hell Presents: “Mount Righteous,” “Slow Teeth,” and “The Arsonist” Jan. 19th 7:00 p.m.

400 Wellesley Dr. SE Suggested $5 Donation

you have fingers, but ukes don’t.

Four strings, four fingers — so it makes sense. Once I started, I just sort of felt like I needed to stick with it no matter what sort of music I played.

DL: What sort of challenges emerge from playing the ukulele, and how does it fit into the punkfolk genre?

AD: I feel like it really surprises people sometimes the way I play it. There are few other people that play ukulele in an aggressive way that I know of. I feel like it’s always a sort of surprising thing, because people associate it with mellow ocean tunes. Like any instrument, you can play it in any genre. My band has got a flute in it too. When we bust out the ukulele and the flute, people sort of seem to think that it might be weird or won’t work. It works. Some of the advantages of ukulele are that it’s really small and compact. I don’t even need a case. It’s also seeing the ukulele builds up a lot of expectation, and then dashing those expectations is always really fun. We only have one song that sounds like it was written on ukulele. All the others don’t follow the stereotype in any way, and it’s fun.

City highlights diversity at MLK celebration

by Eden Silverthorne Daily Lobo

Mayor Richard Berry and Congressman Martin Heinrich showed their support on Sunday for Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring dream.

The New Mexico Martin Luther King Jr. State Commission honored King’s vision with its annual holiday parade and march beginning at the intersection of University Boulevard and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue.

More than 1,000 people attended the event, which ended with a commemorative ceremony at Civic Plaza.

Heinrich said he encouraged audience members to continue working toward Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream by speaking of King’s efforts to promote social equality through his fight against economic injustices. “I’ll leave you all with Dr. King’s own words to encourage your effort,�

Heinrich said at the ceremony. “‘If you want to be important — wonderful. If you want to be recognized — wonderful. If you want to be great — wonderful. But recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.’�

Berry honored the presence of King’s vision in Albuquerque by applauding the city’s diversity. “We are a city that doesn’t simply accept diversity, we celebrate diversity,� Berry said.

The march was open to the public, and the parade lineup consisted of nonprofit and educational organizations such as the YMCA and AmeriCorps.

Joella Redmon, state commission executive director, attended the parade planning meeting on Friday at City Hall and said at the meeting that the community was excited about participating in the parade. “I was really happy with the

number (about 30) and variety of the organizations that wanted to participate,� Redmon said.

Redmon said the crowd was evidence of Albuquerque’s culturally diverse environment, which promotes social acceptance of others — something King envisioned.

At Civic Plaza, the Albuquerque High School ROTC began the ceremony with a presentation of colors, followed by the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner� by community member Taylor Lord and a recital of the Pledge of Allegiance by both Lord and community member Anesha Yazzie.

There were also performances during the ceremony, such as traditional Laguna Pueblo dancers and a djembe drum piece by Phillip and Paul Palmer.

Improved shooting holds off Cowgirls The Power of WE.

by Isaac Avilucea

It’s no wonder your Credit Union has been

Not that The Pit isn’t toasty enough, but Lobo fans might have considered wearing insulated, extreme arctic jackets to the UNM women’s basketball game against Wyoming on Saturday.

The Lobos, against Utah, UNM 74 nearly caused the Wyo. 61 few fans to develop a severe case of frostbite.

UNM watched a stranglehold lead disappear, resulting in a 46-40 loss to the Utes on Jan. 12. Talk about glacial shooting conditions — UNM hit only 10.7 percent from the field.

Must have been a one-time gig.

UNM (10-6 overall) shot an improved — yet not blistering — 47.4 percent from the field, including 50 percent from the 3-point line (8-of16), handing the Cowgirls a 74-61 loss and evening the Lobos’ Mountain West Conference record to 2-2.

Two weeks ago, fans questioned Don Flanagan’s ability to coach, spouting off on the radio and in the Sports Speak Up section of the Albuquerque Journal, following a 61-39 drubbing in The Pit against San Diego State.

UNM’s dreadful shooting performance in Salt Lake City did little to quiet fans’ rash soapbox diatribes.

But Saturday’s win helped stabilize what’s been a turbulent two-week period for the Lobos and Flanagan.

And Flanagan said having selective memory — no matter the criticism — is paramount in overcoming shooting ruts.

“I always thought (we) were a pretty good shooting team, but they have to think that they’re a good shooting team,” he said. “That’s the most important thing. They went to a zone late, and we hit some big 3s against the zone. And that’s a confidence builder, because, when you play a zone in practice, everybody hits a 3. Then in the game, a lot of times people pucker a little bit on a 3.”

Perhaps Flanagan’s right, and

UNM’s stroke was only temporarily lost in translation, but the Lobos needed OnStar to locate the hoop in Salt Lake City.

Surprisingly, however, there was little to no hangover at The Pit against Wyoming.

Jessica Kielpinski settled the Lobos in early, going on a sevenpoint tear by her lonesome — all in a little more than a minute — which padded the Lobos’ cushion, 3530, at the half. Kielpinski finished with 11 points and six rebounds on 4-of-9 shooting.

In the second half, Amanda Best drilled a number of step-back jumpers. The Cowgirls played timid defense on Best, allowing her to fake driving into the lane and leaving open a slew of stop-and-pop shots, which Best deposited with ease.

Best said the Lobos hesitated to put up shots against the Utes, possibly leading to the inexplicable 10percent shooting performance.

“We weren’t looking to shoot.

We were just passing and hoping

another person would shoot,” said Best, who added a game-high 21 points, four rebounds and four assists. “I think a lot of people took it upon themselves to hit shots. If you come to our practice, we hit shots.

We don’t ever shoot 10 percent in practice. It was just a mental thing for us.”

Saturday, the Lobos — and Best in particular — were more assertive.

Neither Amy Beggin nor Sara Halasz — who both joined Kielpinski and Best in the double-digit scoring category — were reluctant to pull the trigger. Beggin had 14 and Halasz poured in 13 points.

Shooting woes aside, Flanagan said he wasn’t overly concerned about his squad, since it possesses one of the most intangible qualities in basketball.

“They work hard when they lose.

They work hard when they win,” he said. “And that’s the characteristics of a good team. They need to keep doing it, because there’s some very fine teams out there.”

my kneecap.”

Nonetheless, Fortner said she is optimistic about the upcoming season — for herself and the Lobos.

She said she feels this is one of the most talented teams she has been a part of since she has been at UNM. “I say we are going to take the biggest group to nationals that we ever had, and I am looking forward to it,” Fortner said. “I think we have the opportunity to achieve a lot,

especially with conference being here in Albuquerque.”

Of all the events in track and field, Fortner said her passion is doing hurdles and high jump, and she is glad to be back competing in them.

“I like doing relays too, because of the team aspect of the event,” Fortner said. “When you are in relays you are working for that team trophy. It’s just a way to encourage your individual effort into a team effort.”

Before her knee injury, Fortner swept the Mountain West Conference multi-event crowns. She won the pentathlon indoor and heptathlon outdoors events that qualified her for both in the 2008 NCAA Track and Field Championships.

Fortner’s knee injury was nothing like she had been through before during her athletic career, she said.

The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — The nagging pain in Tony Parker’s left foot lingers, so he tries to play through it as best he can, with some days better than others.

Unfortunately for the Hornets, Parker felt pretty good on Monday, then went out and scored 25 points as the San Antonio Spurs handed New Orleans a rare home loss, 97-90.

“I’m in surviving mode. It’s tough,” said Parker, who only recently revealed that his foot was bothering him. “I can’t look at myself in the mirror and say, ‘I can’t play.’ It’s just like nagging injuries.… It’s good days and bad days. I felt pretty good today.”

Parker said his back was stiff two nights ago, when he scored only four points on 2-of-8 shooting at Memphis, which was San Antonio’s second-straight loss during a four-game road swing that concluded in the Big Easy.

Against New Orleans, he routinely drove hard to the hoop, losing defenders on screens and finding lanes to the basket.

“I was trying to be very aggressive early on, and I tried to redeem myself,” he said. “We had to bounce back.”

Tim Duncan added 21 points and 14 rebounds for the Spurs, while George Hill scored 16 points and Manu Ginobili had 11.

Chuck Burton / AP Photo Charlotte Bobcats’ D.J. Augustin, left, passes the ball around San Antonio Spurs’ DeJuan Blair during the second half of the Bobcats’ 92-76 win in Charlotte, N.C., on Friday.

David West scored 18 points for New Orleans, which lost for only the second time in its last 15 home games.

Chris Paul, who fouled out in the final minute, had 18 points and nine assists for the Hornets, while Marcus Thornton scored 16 points.

“It comes down to us starters. We have to come out with more energy and set the tone,” Paul said. “They really kept us in front of them. They never really let us get to the basket.

We didn’t get to the (free-throw) line much at all. It’s been the story for us.

We’ve got to figure out other ways to win other than just making shots.”

defensive assignment on Paul and helped get him into early foul trouble.

“George did a good job playing defense on him, but you know it takes the whole team to contain him,” Parker said. “I thought overall we paid attention and made sure we’re not giving him anything easy.

Then it was my job on offense to try to get him tired and attack him.”

San Antonio led by double digits for most of the game, going up by as many as 21 points when Duncan hit one of two free throws to make it 7655 late in the third quarter.

The Spurs went into the fourth quarter with a 17-point lead, which

The team boasted a 20-6 record, and senior Johnny Parkes was named the MWC Player of the Year.

But that was last season.

This year, the Lobos are without a senior on their roster and boast only one upperclassman.

“We’re a young team,” said head coach Alan Dils. “But that doesn’t

change any of our expectations.

Winning the conference regularseason and tournament titles is always one of our goals.”

Dils said this year’s team is one of the hardest-working groups he’s seen in his 15 years of coaching.

Tennis from PAGE 16 “This team, in the three months in the fall, has improved more than any other team I’ve coached,” he said.

“Everyone comes to practice with lots of energy and a real willingness to learn. It’s nice as a coach to see them willing to try new things and want to get better.”

Also in the Lobos’ favor is the return of Parkes, along with other graduated seniors Miles Bugby and Graeme Kassautzki, as volunteer undergraduate coaches.

“This year we’re placing an emphasis on improving with each match,” Dils said. “We’re going to look toward Johnny, Miles and Graeme for their experience. Even though they’re not playing, they are still in a leadership position in helping to develop the younger players.”

UNM’s lone junior this season is Joe Wood, who brings two years of collegiate experience to the team.

“Certainly we’ll look to Joe, being the oldest and most

experienced, for on-court leadership,” Dils said. “But we also have a number of sophomores who can step up for us, too. Ben Dunbar and Phil Anderson have the potential to be vocal oncourt leaders. And Carl Ho, who may not be the most vocal, gives everything he’s got every day. His effort and drive is leadership in and of itself.”

Another positive for the Lobos this season is the team’s ability to bring in top-notch talent. UNM’s incoming freshmen Jadon Phillips and Conor Berg rank No. 17 in the nation, according to the Tennis Recruiting Network’s list of 2009 top recruiting classes.

“Our team has a lot of drive this season,” Wood said. “We may be young, but everyone on the team is ready to step up and start playing.

We’re ready to make our marks on the Lobo tennis program and see what we can do.”

But the secret weapon, Wood said, is the team’s cohesiveness.

“UNM tennis has always had a great camaraderie among its players,” he said. “We’re all the best of friends, on and off the court. That transfers to on-court success, because we’re all there to support each other, giving it all we’ve got for the betterment of the team.”

points in the final minutes.

San Antonio outrebounded New Orleans 50-38, with DeJuan Blair grabbing 13 for the Spurs, including five on the offensive end.

The Spurs were the more forceful team drawing fouls inside. Despite missing 14 free throws, they still outscored the Hornets 24-10 from the foul line.

“We got to the line a lot, and,

unfortunately, we missed a bunch of them, but it paid off for us,” Duncan said. “Just good aggressiveness on our part. It was a big difference in the game.

“DeJuan did a great job on the boards, just not giving them second shots and getting some easy stuff on the offensive glass,” Duncan added. “That’s going to be big for us throughout the season.”

Contestants set up in their stance for the preliminary round of the men’s 60-meter hurdle.

the pace

by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo

The UNM track-and-field team began the new year with an impressive showing.

Fifth-year senior Sandy Fortner led the women, placing first in the women’s long jump and 60-meter dash, while Raffi Cote highlighted a strong performance for the men by defeating Nike-sponsored runner Galen Rupp in the men’s 800-meter run during the Lobo Opener inside the Albuquerque Convention Center. This was UNM’s first of six home meets.

UNM will also host the 2010 Mountain West Conference Championships as well as the USA Indoor Championships.

“It’s always interesting, when you have the first competition in track and field, because you are trying to figure out where people are,” said UNM head track-and-field coach Joe Franklin. “We have a very long holiday break here at UNM, but it went very well (on Saturday).

We were 70 percent better at our events than what we were at this time last year, and I think we competed really well.”

Franklin was particularly impressed with Cote, who beat out Rupp — a former track star at the University of Oregon, who was a six-time NCAA Champion and won the 2009 Bowerman award, the most prestigious award in college track and field.

“It’s a huge deal to beat a Nike contracted guy when you are a freshman at UNM,” Franklin said. “At least, I think it is a pretty big deal.”

One of the races on Saturday came down to a photo finish.

Juniors Brian Wilson and Richard York provided a one-two punch in the finals of the 60-meter hurdles, both finishing first and second with times of 8.52 and 8.53, respectively.

For the women, freshman Precious Selmon ran a 7.76 in the 60meter dash, good for first place.

Selmon was joined by fellow freshman Shirley Pitts with a great

finish in the 200-meter. Pitts was the top finisher in the 200 with a time of 25.56.

Beside the usual competitors, Ty Kirk also competed on Saturday.

Kirk, who is also a wide receiver on the UNM football team, competed in the triple jump and long jump and the preliminary round of the 60-meter dash.

Though he finished sixth in the 60-meter dash, Kirk said he enjoys being a two-sport.

“I feel good and I am glad to do indoor (track events) this year,” Kirk said. “I was excited to be in the 60 today and it was good to get a little running in.”

Kirk said running in track is different than running in football, but it will be a welcomed tradition.

“In football, you got to run with a lean, because if you run straight up, you are going to get popped,” he said. “The coaches have been teaching me to run straight up and run on my heels and my toes. So, it has been a little difficult for me to adjust.”

Track-and-field senior springs back from injury

by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo

Vanessa Sanchez / Daily Lobo Sandy Fortner leaps over a hurdle during the final of the 60-meter hurdles in the Lobo Opener on Saturday at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Fortner, who won two events, has overcome injury on her way back to the UNM track-and-field team.

It has been a long and winding road for Sandy Fortner in the last year of her athletic stint at UNM. The fifth-year UNM women’strack-and-field senior is coming off a 2009 redshirt season because Fortner busted one of her kneecaps.

At the Lobo Opener on Saturday at the Albuquerque Convention Center, the Fort Sumner, N.M., native made a glorious comeback to the Lobo track-and-field team.

In her first race of the day, Fortner started with a victory in the women’s long jump. She won the event with a leap of 19-4 on her third attempt of the day.

“I feel that I have kind of proven myself with the time off,” she said.

“I have worked hard and now I feel great. I think I feel better than I ever did when I wasn’t hurt, so it’s a great feeling, and it’s a great way to start off the new year.”

After her success in the long jump, Fortner clocked an altitudeadjusted 8.97 in the women’s 60meter hurdles. She won the event with a time of 8.82. She finished the Lobo Opener by anchoring the women’s 4x400 relay to victory with a time of 3.55.12.

The 19-4 leap in the long jump and her time in the hurdles were near career bests for Fortner, said UNM track-and-field head coach Joe Franklin.

Franklin said seeing Fortner back and healthy was a treat for him.

“She actually hurt her knee long jumping, and the first event of the weekend was the long jump,” Franklin said. “So, there were definitely nerves with her, because she has to plant that foot and take off. The coaching staff really instilled confidence in her to plant her feet and feel no pain. Once she got the first land, it kind of spiraled upward for
