Carlsbad threatened by potential sinkhole by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
Pre-historic caverns in Carlsbad may have put the small city on the map, but locals are concerned a man-made cavern might take the city off it. Salt mining has left a cavity beneath a main intersection on the south side of town that threatens to collapse any day, said George Veni, member of a city committee working on the issue. “What we have right now is a cavity down below. Once it collapses, it will be a sinkhole,” he said. “Any building within this sinkhole will be
destroyed, but in terms of the larger impact this will have, we’re looking at potential disruption of one or two of the highways within town, potential disruption of the railroad tracks and potential disruption of an irrigation canal that provides the water for agriculture.” The existence of the salt brine well was not unknown to residents, but the recent collapse of two similar mines outside of town has raised concern, Veni said. “We realized that the brine well in Carlsbad was very similar in very many ways to the two that collapsed,” he said. “Their age, depth and geology were alike and we
realized that there may be a problem here.” The salt mining technique injects water into underground rocks in order to dissolve the salt layer, trapping the oil and reaching the brine held within the rocks, UNM Geology Professor Wolfgang Elston said. “A sinkhole occurs when the ground subsides because something is gone from underneath it,” Elston said. “Unless some fluid moves in to take its place, something has to give.” UNM student Janae Owen is from Carlsbad and said she is concerned for her hometown’s well-being. “It’s a complete shock,” she said.
“Carlsbad is a small town so any damage, even small, will affect the whole town.” Owen said her best friend lives within the range of the possible sinkhole and in event of a collapse her house would be damaged. “It will be really weird going back if it collapses,” she said. “I’m always at her house and it will be ridiculous for it to just not be there anymore.” Veni said the potential sinkhole is a serious situation, but it has been blown out of proportion by the media. Stories about the sinkhole have appeared in the LA Times, Detroit Times and the Chicago Tribune. “People seem to have this idea
that the whole city is going to collapse, and it will be a giant hole in the ground, which is not going to happen,” he said. “The affected area is relatively small. You have the area where it occurs and the area around it where the ground will sort of slump towards the sinkhole and some damage to the road, infrastructures and buildings.” Precautionary measures have been taken to ensure the affected residents’ safety and convenience, Veni said. “The county is doing everything we can to ensure public safety,” he

Student-designed campus courtyard in the works by Nicole Raz Daily Lobo
Thanks to a design by students for students, the dirt field outside the Centennial Engineering Building will no longer be an eyesore next semester. Tapy Hall housed the civil engineering department until Aug. 2008 while the Centennial Engineering building was under construction. When Tapy Hall was torn down in fall 2008, a 30,000 square foot dirt

lot was left in its place. The space is in the middle of the Centennial Engineering, the Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Farris Engineering buildings, shaping an isolated courtyard, said Alfred Simon, the associate dean for the School of Architecture and Planning and director of the Landscape Architecture Program. “Because of where that site is located, it’s very much a commons for what is a small engineering campus within the large campus,”
Simon said. “It really becomes an engineering commons and, as such, it becomes a site where faculty, staff and students of engineering can enjoy it in various ways.” Former dean of the mechanical engineering department, Joe Cecchi, and Roger Schluntz, dean of the School of Architecture and Planning, decided to have students design a landscape for the field. About 12 engineering students participated in the first meeting on Sept. 18 to discuss possible

The pot pioneers of New Mexico are meeting in Santa Fe on Friday to show support for the Department of Health’s Medical Cannabis Program. The DOH is holding the meeting to consider approving new medical conditions, including Hepatitis C, that could warrant patients having a cannabis I.D. card. As of now, patients with one of 15 medical conditions can be prescribed medical marijuana. Larry S. Love is the organizer for the unofficial group of New Mexicans who are interested in growing medical cannabis for the more than 800 New Mexico patients who have cannabis I.D. cards. Love has organized a patient rally to start after the 10 a.m. DOH’s meeting in the Runnels Building in Santa Fe. “I understand that Albuquerque in general doesn’t have a lot of doctors that are willing to write a recommendation for their patients,” Love said. “So, it’s early on in the program here, and we’re all sort of pioneers. Some physicians are just a little reluctant because they have DEA licenses to write prescriptions for regular prescriptions, and medical cannabis should be considered a regular type of treatment.” Love said he wants to help potential patients fill out their paperwork and find willing doctors. “One of the things that I’m hoping to do in the near future is to have a clinic where people can come and get the proper paperwork if they don’t have a computer, and we’ll help them fill out their applications for the DOH,” he said. “I would like to do that at least once a week up here in Santa Fe, and if we can find a place down in

Albuquerque, another day.” Love said physicians shouldn’t worry about breaking federal laws because the doctors only write recommendations for patients, not the prescriptions themselves. Instead, the Department of Health writes the prescription, Love said. “The federal government has now changed their position on medical cannabis and have stated that as long as someone is abiding by the state law, they will not bother doctors or growers or distributors or patients,” he said. “So, that’s a big step for helping the program, not just here in New Mexico, but also in the other states that have made medical cannabis legal.”

Love said he will also hold more meetings for “The Growers Guild” to help growers obtain the necessary applications and permits to cultivate marijuana. “Currently, there are about 800 patients, from what I understand, and they expect to have about 1,000 or 1,100 by the end of January,” he said. “Which means they only have five people currently approved to grow, and that would only cover less than 50 percent of the patients. So, the DOH actually needs to approve five more producers ASAP.” Love said he hopes the rally and meeting are well attended so the doctors of New Mexico feel more confident about issuing Editor-in-Chief Rachel Hill Managing Editor Abigail Ramirez News Editor Pat Lohmann Assistant News Editor Tricia Remark Staff Reporters Andrew Beale Kallie Red-Horse Ryan Tomari Online Editor Junfu Han Photo Editor Vanessa Sanchez Assistant Photo Editor Gabbi Campos Staff Photographer Zack Gould Culture Editor Hunter Riley

Protesters plead for peace during Requiem by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
Philip Bock protested outside of Popejoy Hall on Wednesday just like he did 40 years ago. Bock, a retired anthropology professor, held basically the same sign and had the same message, while the same performance went on inside Popejoy — Johannes Brahms’ “A German Requiem.” Forty years
ago, Bock said he and a dozen other protesters stood outside the performance hall to speak against the Vietnam War. “We didn’t argue with people,” he said. “We just thought that Vietnam was turning into a total quagmire. At that point, tens of thousands of Americans had already been killed, as well as countless

Afghanistan, insurgents could get their hands on nuclear weapons or nuclear material and make them, given enough time and resources. I’m worried they would actually use those weapons against us.” McInteer said all political parties should support the war in Afghanistan, not protest against it. “I don’t feel the need to go grab a sign and get angry at America,” he said. “I’m proud to be an American, and I just don’t have the same attitude that those people do.” McInteer wrote a letter to the editor in the Daily Lobo with a similar message on Dec. 4. Bock said protesting is a way to demonstrate personal opinions. He said America should have learned from past mistakes in wars like Vietnam. “I hope to keep alive the idea that these deaths are not necessary,” he said. “War is not the answer. On my sign there is the quote, ‘When will they ever learn?’” Bob Anderson, protester and former UNM professor,
said the reactions of passersby to the protest were encouraging. “A couple of people have walked by and said, ‘Right on; good,’” he said. “Anyone who has sympathies to understand what the Requiem is about understands the sad situation in this country.”

Vietnamese. Again we’re on the verge of a quagmire in Afghanistan, in my opinion.” This year, four people protested, but Bock said he didn’t plan this year’s demonstration as far in advance. He said “A German Requiem” is a piece meant to comfort the living and honor the dead. “The chorus sings, ‘Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.’ Well, I don’t feel very comforted,” he said. Bock said the protest is also a vigil to remember those who died in war. “Our signs mourn for all the Americans and others who were killed in huge numbers, and will be killed if this so-called surge into Afghanistan goes ahead,” Bock said. Eric McInteer, spokesman for college Republicans, said the war in Afghanistan is necessary to protect the U.S. “Pakistan, just to the south, is a potentially unstable regime with very poorly secured nuclear weapons,” McInteer said. “If we fail in

said. “We have an emergency response team, we’ve got a device to monitor any changes and means of notifying affected people if a collapse should start to occur.” Meanwhile, Veni said his committee is working on collecting information to present to the public. “The best thing to do is to review
the options to make decisions about what’s the best way to proceed,” he said. “We are looking at the possibilities and we will present them to the city when we are finished collecting them. Nothing is certain at this point. We are looking at all the options and we are going to present them to the city for their consideration.”

From the web In Monday’s “Transfer request reluctantly granted,” Isaac Avilucea reported that head football coach Mike Locksley was hesitant to release former UNM freshman wide receiver Adam Watson to Southern Methodist University. Readers at DailyLobo.com responded: by ‘And the FALLOUT BEGINS!’ Posted Monday “Since when has SMU been a possible future opponent of UNM? Another freshman leaving Locks. Of course the first two are explained as one freshman incurring a head injury and no longer pursuing a college football career and the other as one freshman transferring to a 1-AA program for more playing time. Now redshirt freshman ‘Adam Watson’ has to go public with his request to no longer be a part of UNM football because Locksley is more concerned with how another freshman football player leaving the program reflects on him and the fallout from his poor decisions and actions.” by ‘Hador’ Posted Monday “What is the big deal? Stuff like that happens all around the country. I’m willing to bet that 90 percent of all transfers don’t end up with the player and the coach being the best of friends. If they were, most likely there wouldn’t be a transfer. It’s also hardly surprising that Locksley didn’t want to release Watson to a future opponent. Coaches often worry about that kind of stuff.” by ‘Adrian’ Posted Monday “I’m tired of reading all the time (that) this is only Locksley’s fault. I’m a football coach as well, and it’s hard for you as a coach, when you recruit a kid, give them an opportunity to a Division-1 education, and have them suddenly walk off. Let’s not forget a case we had with running back Amadeus Waters — the kid never had an offer from any other school, only UNM. Do you guys remember what he did? He left the team for CSU, he was a great running back, he waited the year to play. The next year he had an ACL injury, and now is a running back for CSU.” by ‘Avilucea is a loser’ Posted Monday “There are many, many instances where guys want to transfer and coaches either say no or put restrictions on transfers. Locks is recruiting right now, and he will deal with it when he wants to. Is it needed that he gets his transfer immediately? No. He is still in classes, or should be.” by ‘Locksley questioned’ Posted Monday “What has Locksley accomplished since he was named the head coach? Nothing positive, unless you call avoiding a winless season with a 1-11 record positive. Do all D-1 football programs have the type of problems that UNM has with Locksley? No they don’t, because they would have fired this idiot. Accountability? Where? Not here at University of no comment.” by ‘NO BIG DEAL’ Posted Monday “The whole thing is overblown. We should all just be satisfied with the story that Krebs, Schmidly, and Gonzales have given us and understand that they know what is best. Locksley is a great football coach that has never accomplished anything as a head football coach except shame and disgrace for the University of New Mexico.” Join the discussion at DailyLobo.com

Wellington with his dog, Batter, in their home Wednesday. Wellington shows off the fruits of his labor, a hybrid between a zucchini and spaghetti squash that turned out to look like a pumpkin. Two pumpkins sit waiting to be harvested next to the blue Christmas lights that light F. Wellington’s garden on the corner of Mesa Street and Gold Street on Wednesday. Wellington uses the Christmas lights to warm his garden beds.
by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo
How can Christmas lights help improve the city’s air quality and feed some residents of the Student Ghetto during a cold winter? F. Wellington has figured it out. “It’s a warming technique (for my vegetable garden),” he said. “And generally you don’t need a whole lot. It’s the same thing I did last year, but this year the very first freeze dropped all the way to 26 degrees, and I didn’t have the makeshift greenhouse completely buttoned up. … I lost about 1/3 of the garden.” Wellington moved to Albuquerque from Southern California about 15 months ago and lives on the corner of Mesa Street and Gold Street. He said he gives some of the vegetables
and fruits from his approximately 200 square foot garden to his neighbors. Colin Sikora, who lives across the street from Wellington, said he prefers his neighbor’s food to that from a grocery store. “Wellington always brings over tomatoes, and they’re great and very fresh,” Sikora said. “(They’re) the best tomatoes I’ve ever had. I can tell the difference between his stuff and store-bought food. I only eat the fresh grown tomatoes.” Wellington also grows broccoli, black eyed peas and black beans. Between all the different types of vegetables, Wellington said he has plenty to share with his friends who live nearby. “Out of 14 tomato plants, maybe 12 survived, and I gave away probably five full
buckets of tomatoes,” he said. “Just about all the neighbors know me and I love them dearly. … I love Albuquerque because it’s ethnically diverse and very, very friendly. Whereas in Southern California — it’s got the diversity, but it is getting more unfriendly there.” Wellington said that when he first started gardening in Albuquerque, he faced challenges with the soil quality. “It took a lot of water because the soil is very lacking,” he said. “Next year, I’ll be putting in a lot of peat moss, which retains water a lot better.” But he has other sure-fire techniques as well. “I talk to my plants, absolutely,” he said. “I’m definitely a spiritualist. I can highly recommend the book The Secret Life of Plants. It
showed me a new spiritual plateau, and there has been no dissension since I read it.” Wellington said he has always wanted to grow his own food and this garden has provided him that opportunity. “It is very rewarding, and I like the idea of growing my own food because you lose touch with what food is really supposed to taste like if you only go to a fast food joint or a food market,” he said. Wellington said he also began farming because he had no faith in the political climate and doesn’t want to starve. So he produces some of his own food and hopes to continue to do so for a long time. “I told the landlord that I want to be here and occupying till the day I disincarnate,” he said.

Daily Lobo columnist I’m sorry to say that, quite frequently, sex is either dull or weird. It’s hardly ever red rose petals and a seductive wink — or even basically “hot” — so we ought to get over that daydream. But I’d like to revisit my first semester in college, when, believe it or not, I did have a good relationship. As a freshman, I developed a close friendship with another student in a religion class. We lived near each other, and we often shared notes and proofed each other’s papers. Lars was very kind, but not exactly single. Still, we spent a lot of time together and talked about everything. Soon we were even discussing our personal religious histories and exploring doubt in the principles we’d learned in church. One night, we were just about to cross campus for a poetry club meeting when a freak rainstorm forced us back into the dorm. We holed up in my room and sipped Kahlua with our friend, Will, who sat and watched, amused, as our party of two carried on until we were no longer sitting up, but lying on the floor staring into each other’s eyes. Lars began to touch my face just as the rain stopped, and
Will and I agreed it was time to step outside for a cigarette. Lars did not smoke, but watched patiently as I lit a Marlboro and held it shakily between the fingers of my right hand. “Why are you doing that?” Lars asked me. “Oh, I don’t know; it feels good. I should probably quit.” “Yeah, they say that kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray,” Will slurred, fighting to balance his drink and a menthol. “It can’t be that bad,” I said. “I want to find out for sure,” Lars replied. Will stumbled away to pee on a tree. “What?” I asked her. (Oh yes, “Lars” was a nickname derived from “Lauren.” She was the only person I knew who was “out” (as a bisexual) — the only person I’d heard say the word “out” without flushing.) “I want to kiss you,” she said. I tried to refuse. I explained that it could be as wildly unpleasant as licking an ashtray, but she insisted. “Isn’t that a sign of just how strong my desire is, that I still want to even though you’re smoking that disgusting thing?” “But, I’ve never kissed a girl. I don’t know if I should—” “Maybe you’ll never kiss another girl. Maybe you will. Wouldn’t you want the first or only to be me?” And so she leaned in and a gust of wind shook the branches of the tree above us, shaking a few raindrops down to glisten on our

long, dark hair. I wish I had been more sober, but still I remember that it was the sweetest kiss — the kind that leaves your lips tingling, slightly aching, as if they’re still being touched. So, what should you do if you’re attracted to members of the same sex but don’t know how or how much you should get involved? The simple answer is that you could take yourself to a QSA meeting on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the SUB. But say you’re too shy or just too much of a private person. My best advice, and this really goes for everyone, curious or not, is to make friends with someone in the queer scene. More and more frequently, you don’t need to have perfect gaydar to do this. Plenty of GLBTQ people are open and willing to talk about their sexuality. Just try talking to the people in your classes who seem friendly. Get together for a study group and let the conversation occasionally drift to personal topics. Once you find a kindred spirit, tag along to an event that caters to the GLBTQ crowd. Some clubs downtown have good theme nights, but there are also film screenings and music shows for those of you who are under 21. Test the waters, mingle, see if you feel comfortable — or even have fun. If it works out, there will be plenty of time later to worry about the complications — whether and how to tell your family, for one — but first, don’t be afraid to

Letterman jokes about Woods scandal by Jake Coyle
The Associated Press NEW YORK — David Letterman, after a week off, dived right into material about Tiger Woods on the “Late Show,� joking that he wishes the golfer would stop calling him to ask for advice. Even though the CBS late-night host is only weeks removed from his own scandal, he kicked off his monologue with the subject of Woods, who has been hounded by claims from several women that they had affairs with him. “Boy, it looks like that Tiger Woods is having some trouble, huh?� began Letterman, puffing his cheeks out. He joked that if Woods’ situation
Doing it
had happened three months ago, he’d “have material for a year.� He still got plenty of mileage out of it Monday, on his first new show after a week of repeats. “President Obama is sending troops to Afghanistan,� Letterman said. “Hell, he ought to be sending them to Tiger Woods’ house.� Woods, the world’s No. 1 golfer, crashed his luxury SUV outside his Florida mansion on Thanksgiving weekend, and his wife told police she used a golf club to smash its back windows to help him out. The Florida Highway Patrol cited Woods for careless driving and fined him $164. The accident and Woods’ refusal to answer questions about it fueled speculation about a possible dispute
between the golfer and his wife. Just days before the crash, a National Enquirer story alleged Woods had been seeing a New York nightclub hostess, who denied it. After the crash, Us Weekly reported that a Los Angeles cocktail waitress claims she had an affair with Woods. Last week, Woods issued a statement saying he had let his family down with unspecified “transgressions� that he regrets with “all of my heart.� In October, Letterman admitted to workplace affairs that police say led to a blackmail plot. CBS News producer Robert J. “Joe� Halderman has pleaded not guilty to trying to extort $2 million from Letterman to keep some of the comedian’s sexual affairs quiet.
passed, I made friends with more people, regardless of their sexual orientation. One friend I especially love — a guy — invited me to every GLBTQ event and called me “the token straighty.� Now I date both
men and women, sometimes both at the same time, and am quite content. The guy Lauren was dating ended up being a long-term boyfriend. But, they recently broke up. Wish me luck.

by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
Katie Carillo painted a picture of a spilled strawberry ice cream cone with bugs overwhelming the mess for her final project in a painting class. She said her work is most often described as “creepy cute,� and she likes to make people smile. Carillo sat down with the Daily Lobo to discuss the relevance of trying different art forms, biology in relation to art, and how making people happy makes good art. Daily Lobo: Your majors are an interesting combination, how did you put them together? Katie Carillo: It’s two things that I love, and I think biology
probably has more of a practical use once you get it out of college, but I just always loved art. DL: Do you find that your work in biology is influencing your work in art? KC: Yeah, I think so. DL: Can you give me an example? KC: I’m painting bugs right now. (Laughs.) I think there are kind of different correlations between art design and the health sciences. The process of art is kind of like a science, and then biology is perfect — everything is art, just the way things work together. DL: So what sort of medium of art do you enjoy doing the most? KC: I love painting, drawing and photography. This is my first

painting class, but I’m really liking it. I like to play around with everything. DL: Tell me about your creative process. How do you get from a blank page to having something on it? KC: It’s definitely something I have to do alone. For me to come up with an idea, I have to do a lot of brainstorming and sketching things out. Usually something just kind of hits me and then something happens. DL: Guide me through a piece of artwork. KC: I think probably that the main thing that translates through all different kinds of art is that you have an idea to start with, you start working with it and you are always continually growing with it because it’s changing and it’s a process. You have to be adaptable with it. DL: What does it feel like when you have a really good idea and it doesn’t follow through? KC: Well, when things don’t work out, I don’t know. There have been things that I’ve tried that haven’t worked out very well, but I just kind of keep sketching stuff out for later on and later, I’ll figure it out. DL: How do you deal with imperfections in your work? KC: I get some space away from it for a while and that’s basically how I deal with it. DL: When you’re “having space”, what do you like to do in your nonart-related time? KC: I like reading and music. I like fantasy sort of stuff. I like funny stuff. DL: Do you find yourself creating more art about a particular theme? KC: I think animals are definitely a recurring theme, and I like to work with people — portraits and
stuff like that. My work is pretty happy. I like to make people smile, I guess. DL: And you said you did a little bit of photography. What do you take pictures of? KC: I’ve done a lot of portraits and wildlife photography. I like to go into Photoshop and make stuff that isn’t real, too. DL: What does painting offer to you that other forms of art don’t? KC: With photography, everything’s there and you have to find your frame. Kind of with drawing, I don’t know, I mostly draw in black and white. Most people draw in
colors. I think that’s really interesting, trying to make something look sort of real or add colors to it. DL: Without art, where would your life be? What keeps you coming back to art? KC: I think there’s just something with art that makes you, whatever form of art it is, express yourself (in a different way), and, I don’t know, it sounds kind of cheesy, but I have this place in my heart — it just gives you this really great feeling to work on something for so long and have it be done with and have people see it and understand it.
