University lobbies at Capitol for UNM Day LEGISLATIVE SESSION

by Leah Valencia Daily Lobo

Vanessa Sanchez / Daily Lobo Minerva Cook speaks with a client at Butt, Thornton & Baehr Attorneys at Law on Monday. Cook graduated from the UNM School of Law in 2007. The School of Law is celebrating its 60th anniversary and is accepting nominations for memorable people, historic laws, events, legal cases or civic solutions.

SANTA FE — New Mexico legislators were greeted Monday with a visit from several University departments and organizations for UNM Day. Fearing harsh budget cuts, the University put on its first-ever presentation to exemplify the value of the work done and opportunities provided at UNM. Interim Dean for the College of Fine Arts, Jim Linnell, said the presentation gave UNM the opportunity to show legislators and the public the value of supporting higher education. “UNM Day is to showcase to the public here at the Capitol the things that only a flagship university can do — the programming that goes

Book commemorates 60 years of law PIRG seeks student fees to hire professional staff by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo

It has been 60 years since the first class of UNM School of Law students graduated. To celebrate, the school is creating a colorful book recognizing 60 special people, accomplishments or legislation, named 60 for 60. “It’s more than just a book,” School of Law archivist David Myers said. “It’s important because the UNM law school has played a significant role in the state of New Mexico. Legal, judicial, political, public policy — all those kinds of things UNM law school graduates and faculty have been heavily involved in.” Nominations for the 60 for 60 book will be accepted until April 1. They can include people, historic laws, events, legal cases or civic solutions, according to the law school’s Web site. Minerva Cook, a 2007 School of Law graduate, said the school prepared her for a successful career in the law profession by giving her realworld experience. “A lot of law schools are academic, in that they get you to think and never really make you use your practical skills — how to write a letter or actually conduct yourself in front of a courtroom,” she said. “Then your first day on the job you panic because you don’t really know how to be a lawyer.” Cook said one big accomplishment for the School of

Law is the clinical practice, which is mandatory for all students. This program allows students to gain realworld experience by defending actual clients in need of legal help, Cook said, and would be a great addition to 60 for 60. Cook has worked at Butt, Thornton, and Baehr PC, Attorneys at Law for two years. Kevin Washburn, School of Law dean, said the clinical program is up for nomination to be in 60 for 60. “We pioneered clinical education and still do it as well or better than most schools,” he said. “We’ve had a clinic for about 40 years. Students are actually practicing law — it’s not the traditional classroom setting at all.” Washburn said the School of Law doesn’t get the recognition it deserves in the community. “This school doesn’t do a very good job of highlighting itself or patting itself on the back,” he said. Washburn said students, alumni, faculty and community members are encouraged to make nominations. To make a nomination, visit the School of Law’s Web site and click on “60 for 60” in the upper left corner. Myers has already received about five submissions. All submissions will be reviewed by an objective panel that is selected by Washburn The book will be released early next fall, Myers said, accompanied by a celebration at the School of Law. Washburn said the price of the

book is yet to be determined. Barbara Bergman, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the School of Law, said she has taught at the UNM School of Law since 1987. She has seen 22 classes of UNM law school students graduate. “It’s sort of bittersweet,” she said. “It’s always a pleasure to see them succeeding and going off and knowing that some of them are going to be doing some amazing things, and it’s a little sad because you’re going to miss them.” Bergman said she will probably submit a nomination, but still has to think about what it will entail. “I think it’s just a wonderful idea to sort of step back and take a look at what the graduates of our law school have accomplished in the last 60 years,” she said. “We’ve never really done that.” Nominations should be between 250 and 500 words, said Myers, and can be submitted on the UNM School of Law Web site.

UNM’s Public Interest Research Group is asking for student funds to assist them in recruiting statewide students for their organization and becoming a part of the larger PIRG community. Members of the chapter presented a request for funding to the Student Fee Review Board asking for $84,000 of student fees for the school year. The funding would allow PIRG to hire a professional staff to assist in their expansion plans, said PIRG representative Vicky Scheidler. “One concern that comes up a lot is ‘Oh my gosh. You are asking for 80-something thousand dollars’ and we really don’t see it as that huge (of an) expenditure,” she said. “We feel that we are remarkably efficient in the way that we spend our money. We are only paying for a portion of their time. We are not paying for their whole salary by any means.” The proposed staff would include adding an organizer, organizing director, state director and field director, Scheidler said. The cost of the state representatives would be split among other regional universities amounting to the chapter paying 25 percent of their salary, she said. A larger staff could allow PIRG to unite students statewide for a larger

impact, she said. “We are going to be lobbying in New Mexico for issues that students care about, like college affordability,” she said. “If we have students all across the state joining together, instead of just students at UNM, we are going to hold a lot more clout in Santa Fe.” PIRG’s growth would also include collaborating with UNM’s Institute of Public Law, where public policy dialogue methods would be taught, said Paul Biderman, IPL director. PIRG members would be trained to handle public forum meetings with student fees. “PIRG and the kind of effort IPL has been making about civil discourse are a really a good fit,” he said. “IPL has been working on making our state more collaborative in terms of public policy. To have people talk to each other, taking into (account) everybody’s values and concerns and not trying to override them.” Scheidler said the proposed hirees would aide in bringing the two groups together. “That’s another place where the organizer would fit in really well, just assisting in bridging that really huge gap that currently exists

between main campus and north campus,” she said. Jake Wellman, ASUNM representative, said at the meeting he had concerns over how organizations around the community were going to be involved in PIRG. Scheidler said student outreach would be a main priority with the staff. “One big thing for us is to be as representative of students at UNM as possible,” she said. “Right now, we have a database of more than 1,000 students that have expressed

an interest in PIRG, so I can definitely see that multiplying by quite a bit if we did have someone helping us all the time. Also, we have worked in the past with the lobbying committee at ASUNM, but there is definitely room for improvement.” UNM student and PIRG member Brianna Hastings said she gained valuable leadership experience from her involvement in the program and thinks an expansion would benefit UNM students. “I would really like to see PIRG get the funding necessary to expand

its program and have the ability to reach others to (become) potential student leaders,” she said. “There are students who have specific ideas and might really want to get involved but are painfully shy and want and need guidance on leadership, and I think PIRG can have a really positive impact on the UNM campus.” According to the U.S. PIRG Web site, the group organizes around issues like product safety, political corruption and voting rights.

came here,” he said. David G. Bear, Interim Chair for the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, said parts of the chemistry building are uninhabitable and efforts to secure funding for a remodel have failed. “The chemistry department has become a bit demoralized and over the past 10 years we have lost half of our full-time tenure track faculty,” he said. Whether for new development or necessary repairs, state funding is essential and the speakers at UNM day said they hope the legislative branch will work to protect funds for education. Amanda Barnes, a pharmacy student who worked at UNM Day offering vaccines and blood pressure checks, said the presentation got the

attention of legislators. “They were there and they were supporting us in full force,” she said. Barnes said she wants to make sure the people of New Mexico get the care they deserve, and education is a big part of that. Richard Howell, Dean of the College of Education, said during his presentation at the Rotunda that it is more important now than ever that state leaders do all they can to fund UNM. He said modern methods are necessary to teach and retain today’s students. “The students of today’s school are different than when we were in school,” Howell said. “They are different kids with different needs, and we need to speak to those needs directly with more dynamic and engaging environments.”

GPSA resolutions will punish blameless student athletes Editor, My name is Raul Anaya and I am currently obtaining my Executive MBA here at UNM. I am writing in support of the student fees that go to UNM athletics. Being a former NMSU Aggie, where I obtained my Industrial Engineering degree, and was the co-captain of the football team, I want to say it is unfortunate that the Graduate Professional Student Association is trying to take money away from those who are innocent bystanders. I do not condone the actions that were taken by head football coach Mike Locksley, but the ones being hurt by GPSA’s actions are the students themselves, not coach Locksley. By taking away money, the GPSA is damaging UNM students’ abilities to enjoy “college life.” Athletics were never meant to be a priority in a college student’s life and they never will be. They are here to give students a sense of pride and to give alumni a chance to support their university outside of the academic world. Nowadays, college isn’t just about academics. It’s a passage in one’s life from being a teenager to being a young adult. Colleges market their ability to allow students to enjoy a “college life” while obtaining their degree. That is why there are dorms, food on campus and many other extra-curricular activities. These things are there for them to escape for a while. I also want to say, as a former college athlete, I learned many valuable lessons in teamwork and leadership to help me prepare for life and the many challenges it throws at me. The UNM athletes aren’t just there to play sports. They are there to obtain their degrees and to become productive members of society. I understand the GPSA is trying to send out a message, but they are sending the wrong one and they are hurting the ones they are trying to protect. I urge those that are allowed to vote, to vote for keeping GPSA money in athletics. We all make mistakes, but the mistakes of a few should not impact everyone. Let’s learn from our mistakes, move on, stand together as Lobos, support our “college life” and consider those innocent that will be negatively impacted. Raul Anaya Daily Lobo reader

LETTERS Supreme Court decision makes mockery of democratic process Editor, In case you missed it, the framers of the Constitution of these here United States turned over in their collective graves last Thursday, Jan. 21. A partisan majority of the Supreme Court threw out a 63-year-old law designed to restrain the influence of big business and unions on elections, ruling that corporations may spend as freely as they like to support or oppose candidates for president and Congress. Essentially, they deemed that corporations — as “people” — have the right to free speech just like, you know, real fleshand-blood people and big money can now throw their influence around even more than they already do in order to ensure that the little person in the USA is not heard. I don’t believe the framers had anything like this in mind when they wrote the Constitution, but you know, who cares about that? Essentially, if followed, all presidential and congressional seats will go to the highest bidder, since the American people tend to know who got voted off the island or American Idol, but have no clue about the pabulum that passes for campaign ads. Remember the swift boat campaign? Now there was a non-partisan beacon! Anyway, Justice John Paul Stevens stated in his dissent, “The court’s ruling threatens to undermine the integrity of elected institutions

Corporations too wealthy to have freedom of speech Editor, Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision was monumental. Here are my thoughts and suggestions: The First Amendment does not grant any rights to individuals, per se. It rather prohibits Congress from enacting any laws “abridging the freedom of speech.” From that perspective, it is easier to follow the majority’s argument. The law in question prohibited “corporations and unions from using their general treasury funds to make independent expenditures for speech that is an ‘electioneering communication’ or for speech that expressly advocates the election or defeat of a candidate.” Therefore, as long as corporations are legally treated as “fictional”, “legal” or “moral” persons and have rights, privileges and liabilities identical to those of a “natural” person, this law clearly abridges a person’s freedom of speech. The problem is not their conclusion, but their premise. When Justice John Paul Stevens mentioned the “conceit that corporations must be treated identically to natural persons in the political sphere,” he raised an

around the nation.” Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor joined in Stevens’ dissent, parts of which he read aloud in the courtroom. The justices also struck down part of the landmark McCainFeingold campaign finance bill that barred union/corporate-paid issue ads in the closing days of election campaigns. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas joined Senator Ted Kennedy to form the majority in the main part of the case. Roberts, in a separate opinion, said that upholding the limits would have restrained “the vibrant public discourse that is at the foundation of our democracy.” And, of course, in English that means upholding limits that would have prevented big money from purchasing the presidency and seats in Congress since the one with the most money usually wins. In my humble opinion, we the people own the airwaves and we should be able to “give” the same amount of time to each and every major candidate in major elections so that they all get the same amount of time. Gratis! Free! Candidates would get no more and no less time than that provided time allotment. Corporations and other interests would get none. They can’t even buy it. I mean, if corporations are living entities entitled to free speech, then don’t the people behind them in essence get more than one vote? They get their own vote at the polls and they get to unduly interfere and influence the system, which has to be considered another vote or else why

would they even engage in such behavior? I find it appalling that 5 of 9 justices threw out earlier Supreme Court decisions that weren’t even at issue when the case came before them. Justice Stevens: “Essentially, five justices were unhappy with the limited nature of the case before us, so they changed the case to give themselves an opportunity to change the law.” So I learned a lot last Thursday. I learned that the Supreme Court is a laughingstock partisan arm of the right and the criminal acts of these five Republican-appointed jokesters is going to be making a mockery of the highest court in the land and doing an immense amount of damage for a long time to come. It makes me wonder how much “legal free speech/financial donation” will end up in these five justices’ retirement funds, “donated” by corporations and unions looking to swing a particular court case their way. Beats the heck out of me how financial donation and influence is in any way an example of protected or free speech. I can’t find anywhere in the Constitution where the framers equate money with speech. Can anybody point me to that section? Where is the “equal distribution of wealth” section so that we all can have equal speech? I mean, it would have to be in there somewhere for the highest court in the land to manufacture this mockery of a decision, right?

important point. Essentially this decision means that any corporation has exactly the same rights as I do to advocate for the “election or defeat of a candidate,” save for actually casting a vote. Of course, a corporation has many vested interests in the outcome of an election and the effect it will have on legislation, just like I do. But, like the vast majority of Americans, I do not have even remotely comparable resources at my disposal to make the same “independent expenditures for speech.” Sure, I can say the same with regard to richer individuals in general, but doing so only reveals the inherent disparities between an actual person and a corporate person. Even the richest “natural person” in the world (Bill Gates has a net worth of $40 billion) is a small fry compared to the richest “legal person” in the world (ExxonMobil earned profits of $37 billion in 2007 alone). More to the point and more importantly, though, Bill Gates can use his money to “speak” on his singular behalf, but ExxonMobil cannot. Every dollar Exxon uses to “speak” belongs to its shareholders, who presumably come from disparate political ideologies and number in the thousands. So, if Exxon advocates for the election or defeat of a particular candidate using its dollars and in its capacity as a “person,” the actual and “natural” people who own it are

inextricably absorbed into the company’s powerful political action, regardless of their individual political beliefs and affiliations. As a result, their individual power as voting (or simply vocal) citizens is diluted and the democratic process is compromised. Just for some perspective, it took well over 1 million unique donors to raise about $750 million for Obama’s campaign. This record-setting sum undeniably altered the course of the election. What will happen if just a few corporations, unrestricted in their ability to spend money explicitly on a candidate’s behalf, band together in a similar fashion? For the record, $750 million is approximately 2 percent of Exxon’s 2007 profits. It is true a corporation still can’t actually vote, but because of this decision they can, more than ever before, wield immensely disproportionate power and influence over voters, and thus the outcome of an election, and therefore U.S. law. Maybe the solution is going further. If corporations are people for all intents and purposes, they should be given the right to vote. One corporation gets one vote, but not, of course, before they are 18 years old, an American citizen, and free from any felony convictions.

Students respond to column on anal sex by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo

Last Thursday the Daily Lobo published the “Doing it in the Duke City” column about having safe anal sex. Here are some student-survey responses:

Adam Sterling “I think a newspaper should be kind of a neutral source and it’s all about getting information to people, and information about practicing safe sex would fall under that. I think that it would be better to have access to that information than to not. I wouldn’t read the column personally, but I wouldn’t get all mad over it. It’s up to me what I read and what I don’t read.”

I’m for all of those things but for me, personally, I’m not into it. As a woman I think men would get more pleasure out of that than a woman would.” Trey Chavez “People are going to be doing it anyway. So if they’re telling you how to do it safely, I think it’s helping more than hurting. I think if people don’t want to do it, they’re not going to do it. But if they do want to do it, they’re going to do it and if they’re properly educated on it, that’s probably better than not knowing. I’ve never had anal sex in any shape or form and I’m not really that interested in it. If I were against it, it would kind of be pointless because people are going to do it whether I’m into it or not. If they’re doing it, they might as well try and be safe about it. I guess in a way it’s weird and I can understand the controversy, but I can understand why it might be somewhat necessary if people are doing it. I can’t really imagine a wrong way because it all just seems kind of wrong, but if they can be as safe as possible that’s best.”

Torn rose period piece to be restored by The Associated Press A Picasso painting damaged when a woman lost her balance and fell on the canvas Friday will be repaired in time for an exhibition of the artist’s works in April. “The Actor,” a painting from Picasso’s rose period, will be restored at the museum’s conservation laboratory, the Met said. The museum described the damage as an irregular 6-inch tear to the lower right-hand corner of the painting. Conservation and curatorial experts “fully expect” that the restoration “will be unobtrusive,” the museum said in a statement Sunday. The artwork is nearly 6 by 4 feet and depicts a standing acrobat in a

pink costume and blue knee-high boots striking a pose against an abstracted backdrop. The restoration will be done in the coming weeks, and the piece will be displayed as planned in an exhibition of 250 Picasso works. The accident occurred in a second-floor gallery of early Picasso works when a patron participating in one of the museum’s art classes lost her balance and fell on the canvas, the museum said. It happened during regular visiting hours when other visitors were in the gallery. People who attend the art classes typically roam through the museum in a group stopping in front of works of interest. “The Actor” was donated to the Met in 1952. The museum said it had been included in many major

exhibitions of Picasso’s works both in the United States and in Europe. Picasso painted the work in the winter of 1904-05, marking a transition from his blue period of tattered beggars and blind musicians to his more optimistic and brighter-colored rose period of itinerant acrobats in costume. In 2006, another Picasso was accidentally damaged during a private showing of the artist’s “Le Reve.” The artwork’s owner, casino mogul Steve Wynn, was showing the work — a portrait of Picasso’s mistress, MarieTherese Walter, to a group of friends in Las Vegas when he inadvertently poked a thumb-size hole in the canvas with his elbow. The accident occurred just after Wynn had negotiated a deal to sell the painting for $139 million.
