LOBO MEN’S BASKETBALL
Point guard plays to win By Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
Few players — with the exception of the Jordans and Bryants — have the resolve to will their teams to victory. Dairese Gary, on Wednesday at The Pit, fit into this conversation of elites. Thanks to more-than-stellar play from the Lobos’ point guard, the No. 23 UNM men’s basketball team
ended up atop the totem poll against No. 12 BYU, 7672 BYU 72, handing the Cougars their first conference loss as well as their first loss in 15 games. More important, it pulled the Lobos (19-3 overall and 5-3 in the MWC) within one game of first place in the Mountain West Conference. Lobo head coach Steve Alford gushed with pride when speaking about Gary at the podium. UNM

“Jimmer Fredette is a very special player, but I wouldn’t trade my point guard for anybody,” he said. “He’s a warrior. He just doesn’t let you account for him. He does what he has to do to will his team to win. Anytime we got them in a man situation, we just thought Dairese could take those guys.” Throughout the week, there was so much talk about

Student enrollment increased 7.3 percent for the 2010 spring semester over last year, according to the Division of Enrollment Management. Total student enrollment at UNM is now 26,148. Following the increase, total student credit hours rose by 7.8 percent, a total of 305,035 credit hours. This rise is prompting the University to ensure there are enough classes for students to graduate on time, said Terry Babbitt, associate vice president of Enrollment Management. “We watch that very closely,” Babbitt said in an e-mail. “We should have the capacity in our support services and facilities to accommodate the increase.” To bring more students to

Holocaust anniversary keeps us vigilant by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
The Holocaust will never be forgotten, but Rudi Florian wants to make sure people don’t ever forget its lessons. National Holocaust Memorial Day, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz prison camp, was Jan. 27. Yesterday marked the 65th anniversary of the closure of the camp. Florian, docent at the New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum, said the day reminds people to fight for human rights. “To memorialize that is, of course, to make people aware of what can happen if we are not vigilant for the rights and the dignity of each and every one of us,” he said. Regina Turner, executive director of the New Mexico Human Rights Project, said the Holocaust has implications that are relevant today. “We learn from the Holocaust that we must all be vigilant against institutionalized discrimination,” she said. The New Mexico Human Rights Project will open an exhibit, “Anne Frank: A History for Today,” in Coronado Mall on Feb. 1. Mae Eye of the UNM Israel Alliance said the observance day serves as a reminder of the tragic events of

Anne Frank: A History for Today Feb. 1 Coronado Mall World War II. “It’s the day that we remember the people who died, and the reason they died, which was because of their religious beliefs,” she said. “We need to remember it so that it doesn’t happen again.” The Holocaust & Intolerance Museum sponsored a film screening at the El Rey yesterday. Florian said the film, “The Colours of the Holocaust,” explores the origins of anti-semitism in Europe, which led to the spread of Nazism. “(Filmmaker Rax Rinnekangas) started with taking in questions about what started the whole Holocaust and anti-Semitism in general, and the movie provides interpretation by the artist born after World War II, of the events that have made a difference in European identity in the 20th century,” Florian said. “So, it basically tries to answer some questions about why it happened and what impact it still has today.”

New Mexico Daily Lobo
Thursday, January 28, 2010 / Page 3
Upset from page 1 Jimmer Fredette, albeit for good reason. He leads his team in several categories, among them averaging 20.2 points per game. Yet there was so little conversation about Gary. And why not? It’d be easier to overlook Gary, being Fredette arguably is the Mountain West Conference’s best all-around talent. Make no mistake about it. On Wednesday at The Pit, Fredette made his presence known, only Gary was a smidgen better. No, not points wise — Gary finished with a career-high 24 points to Fredette’s 25. But Gary had six points in the last two minutes of the game, including two clutch, game-defining free throws, with the Cougars sniffing at the door, and Fredette rapping at the door, within 67-65 at the 1:42 mark. Gary slammed it shut, though, mainly from the charity stripe where he was 12-of-17, the most free throw attempts by a Lobo since 2006, when Danny Granger attempted 18 against Colorado State at its place. It was the story of the night — Gary’s brutish, body-sacrificing play being the difference in a hotly contested seesaw battle. Over and over, Gary slivered through the lane, snaking by, through and past a slew of BYU defenders. The stocky point guard played a tailored position — “points” guard. Not only did he lead the Lobos in points, but he handed out four assists.
Still, Gary said he doesn’t get caught in the hub-bub about comparing himself with Fredette. “You can’t look at it like that going into the game,” he said. “I just try to focus on what I can do going into the game. If it’s scoring a basket, if it’s passing, diving on the floor I just want to do what I can to make sure that my team’s at its best potential.” Amazingly, the Cougars never accounted for Gary, allowing him unrestricted freedom to slash through the lane, especially when the shot clock was winding down. And Gary didn’t disappoint. Gary was asked if he got in the lane at will — or ad nauseum if you were the Cougars. “It seemed like that tonight,” he said. “I just seen a big opening, I guess, and I took advantage of it. And when it closed down, my teammates were right there to bail me out. It was a good combination tonight.” BYU head coach Dave Rose said the Cougars couldn’t find an answer for Gary. “Dairese Gary was terrific,” Rose said. “I thought that when our post guys came up and helped there was a lot of quick fouls that were called, so that made us soft, but he’s a great finisher. Terrific free-throw shooter, and he was an absolutely huge factor for them.” Certainly, it was one for the time vault, an insta-classic that never seemed to have an end-all-be-all
climax. Back and forth the Lobos and Cougars battled. At the 3:07 mark BYU took its first lead of the second half, but Phillip McDonald made sure it was shortlived. With the shot clock ticking down to four seconds, McDonald lofted up a floater, which hesitated on the rim, before dropping through the net. And one. After depositing the free throw, UNM regained the lead, 65-64. McDonald finished with nine points. The Lobos got a much-needed boost from Curtis Dennis, who finished with 12 points, including an impossible corner-pocket treys where he had to strafe the sidelines. Roman Martinez was the only other Lobo to finish in double figures with 12. The Lobos, however, got more than enough from Gary, And as a result, Alford said, UNM’s back in the thick, winding MWC marathon. “It’s a league race,” said Alford, whose Lobos will likely battle the Cougars and UNLV for the top shelf the remainder of the season. “Had BYU won this one there’s a lot of us looking up at them,” Alford said. “They have at least a two-game lead on three of us. You get to the midpoint and you’re still in it, anything can happen in that last month. And we’re playing well. We have our swagger back.”
California couple challenges Prop. 8 by Lissa Leff
The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Testimony ended Wednesday in a historic federal case challenging the constitutionality of California’s ban on same-sex marriage. The trial included nearly 12 days of wide-ranging testimony on the meaning of marriage, the nature of sexual orientation, and the role of religion in shaping attitudes about both. Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker heard the case without a jury and has said he will take time to review the evidence before hearing closing arguments, probably sometime in March. His verdict is likely to be eventually appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Lawyers for the sponsors of Proposition 8, the state’s voter-approved ballot measure, have asked Walker to reserve their option to present more documents based on subpoenas they
have issued to gay rights groups that opposed the measure. The defense called just two expert witnesses during the trial. More than a dozen witnesses appeared for the plaintiffs, including sociologists, legal experts and gays who talked about the effect of the ban on their lives. Lawyers for the two gay couples that filed the lawsuit tried to show the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized marriage as a fundamental right and that denying gays the right to wed causes them harm. They also argued that extending marriage to same-sex couples would not undermine heterosexual unions. Plaintiffs lawyer David Boies said Walker had been provided with more than enough evidence to strike down the ban. “We said on the first day of trial we would prove three things,” he said during a news conference outside court. “Marriage is a fundamental right, that depriving gays and lesbians the right to marry hurts them and hurts their children; and there was no
Elizabeth Edwards separates from husband by Mike Baker
The Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Elizabeth Edwards has separated from her husband, two-time presidential candidate John Edwards, after a tumultuous three years in which the couple’s marital troubles became tabloid fodder. Andrea Purse, a friend of Elizabeth Edwards, confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that the 60-year-old mother of four has separated from her husband. North Carolina law requires couples to be separated for a year before divorcing. “Elizabeth is moving on with her life and wants to put this difficult chapter behind her,” a statement released by Purse said, referring to unflattering details of her marriage and her husband’s affair that are
emerging from an upcoming tell-all book. The book is written by longtime Edwards aide Andrew Young, who initially claimed that he fathered a child with John Edwards’ mistress in the weeks leading up to the crucial presidential primaries. John Edwards publicly declared last week that he was the father of the child with Rielle Hunter, who worked as a videographer before his second presidential campaign in 2008. Young’s book details how Edwards went to great lengths to hide the affair. In excerpts from an ABC News interview, Young said that Edwards asked him to find a doctor who might fake a paternity test and asked him to steal a diaper from the baby, now almost 2, to determine whether it was really his. He also claims that the married couple sought to politicize her cancer diagnosis.
reason, no societal benefit in not allowing them to get married.” The defense countered that limiting marriage to a man and a woman serves a paramount social function that outweighs civil rights concerns.

LETTER
Printing dreams crushed in the name of frugality Editor, I must admit my feelings of sadness last semester when the new printing policy was announced. After printing often and freely for so long, I felt like an Eastern European prostitute now having to abide by new regulations of the European Union. While this comparison may be slightly irrelevant, I hope it illustrates my initial feelings of how the school has changed. In truth, the suspicion of printing fees entered my mind when we students first began swiping our Lobo cards to print. It slowed printing down but was still free. I found myself visiting the Lobo lab in down times when I could sit in the corner and print frivolously anything I wanted, recipes from The New York Times and the 2,000-page army first aid handbook (available online in PDF format). Well, you better believe times are different now. There I was on the first day of class, getting that giddy feeling, when my mind starts to run, thinking of all the nonsense that I could print for free. Then it happened, I heard a young woman complaining, “I don’t understand.” There was a line, a long one, with students eager to deduct pages or dollars from their Lobo cards. The days of free and reckless printing are over, and I am sort of glad. Those pages that I print and tuck away into my bookshelf no longer haunt me during sleepless nights. In fact, I have resisted printing a single page in the lab so far, instead forcing myself to read required articles online. The new printing policy has forced me to confront my own wastefulness and taught me that I don’t need to print as much as I did. And anyway, I can still print for free at work if I stay late and sit at the computer in the back of the office. Encyclopedia of naval flags (in color) here I come! Suckers! Antal Maurer UNM Student

Editor, I was delighted to hear in a recent Daily Lobo article that La Posada is taking steps to be more environmentally friendly. There is, however, an easier way to save water and help the environment: eat less meat. According to an extensive United Nations study, raising animals for food contributes more to climate change than all cars, boats and trains combined. If we’re serious about saving the planet, the best choice we can make is to leave

Meat production wastes more water than dishwashers
DL
Front-page photograph misconstrues track athlete Editor, Last Monday, the Daily Lobo ran a photo of our defending NCAA 1-mile champion, Lee Emanuel, who had just finished a grueling race inside the Convention Center Indoor Track and Field Complex. Your photographer, Junfu Han, simply rushed in, clicked a photo, never spoke with Lee and just assumed that he was dejected. This is shabby and unprofessional journalism at its best. Mr. Han should have done the appropriate thing and
meat off our plates. Although La Posada’s new dishwasher uses 50 percent less water than its predecessor, the water saved is a drop in the bucket compared to the 2,463 gallons required to produce just one pound of meat. The amount of resources wasted on producing animal-derived products is staggering. We currently feed more than 70 percent of the grain grown in the United States to animals raised for food. Similarly, nearly half the water and 80 percent of agricultural land in this country is used for livestock. Passing resources through animals that use up to 90 percent of the energy they consume simply by living
their lives requires exponentially more land, water and other resources than simply eating plants directly. Farmed animals also produce about 130 times as much excrement as the entire U.S. population, much of which finds its way into our local waterways. Thankfully, it’s never been easier to find delicious and “green” meals — such as vegan pizza and veggie barbecue meats — at your local grocery store. For more information about the impact of animal agriculture on the environment, visit peta2.com.
asked Lee if he was dejected, or maybe just fatigued. After all, Lee had just run the eighth fastest time in the United States in the 800meter run, had a stirring battle with a runner from Arizona, who won the race, and ran the third fastest time in the country, and done it all at altitude, which is difficult at best. Lee’s performance is the 4th fastest time ever run by a Lobo 800 runner all the way back to 1958. A question I wonder is why, when Lee represented UNM at the NCAA Indoor Championships, and brought great honor to UNM by winning a national championship, did you not have his picture crossing the finish line with a huge smile on his face, proud to have achieved something special
for the Lobo faithful? I just found the current picture to be very disappointing and misleading at best, and hope someone in a position of leadership will speak to Mr. Han about raising his standards, and not sinking to the lowest common denominator. Thank you.

Hokona gardener loses his project by Candace Hsu Daily Lobo
The Hokona Garden will no longer grow on the UNM Campus. “Our school has the six core fundamental principles, and the sixth one is sustainability. Now they are going to just dig this out,” said student Alex Borowski, who planted the garden in late October. And just as green sprouts are beginning to burst from the soil, the Physical Plant Department is going to remove them Feb. 1, and will reportedly replace the garden with a water fountain. Borowski said he thought up the idea for the garden when he came upon the deserted pentagon of dirt in the courtyard of Hokona Hall, where he’s a resident. “The garden was going well for a long time,” he said. “Before break, we had a layer of leaf mulch to retain the moisture and protect the plants. Towards the end of break, they raked it up. They decided that it was not acceptable to have.” Representatives from Hokona Hall and the Physical Plant Department declined to comment. Also, representatives from Residence Life and Student Housing did not return calls Wednesday.
Borowski said the Physical Plant Department administration held a meeting about the garden and were worried about contamination. He was told PPD had plans for the dirt, and they could not have a garden in the public area. The garden’s planters have until Monday to dig up and transplant the vegetables. Soon after, the garden will be torn out. “I was never informed of the decision directly from the Physical Plant Department,” Borowski said. “I heard from a friend of mine who attends (Residence Hall Association) meetings. It was on the agenda to discuss.” The plan for the garden is to either cover it or to place a new fountain, Borowski said. “I think that putting in a fountain is a complete waste of water,” he said. “That water could be used to water this exact garden. It’s just the total opposite direction that we should be going in.” The Hokona Hall Community Association held a meeting Tuesday night to discuss the garden’s future. However, the Residence Hall Association — which oversees all UNM residence halls — told the Community Association nothing could be done.
“Alex came to us last semester and asked if he could utilize the land. We were all very supportive about it and approved,” Ioan Belovarski, president of the Community Association, said. “But now, the RHA told Alex that he has no say as to what the land goes towards. They are saying that the shrubs around the garden will also be taken out.” On Wednesday, Borowski and other students involved in the garden gave tribute to the lost cause. Borowski was joined by Will Thomson and Danielle Stephens, who both helped start the Hokona Garden. The group is creating a Lobo Garden Committee with the help of Mary Clark, a sustainability studies program staff member, Thomson said. “Having this garden would have shown people that it takes time and effort to grow things. I didn’t understand that until I started gardening,” Thomson said. “There are plenty of schools who have community gardens, and I think that it is ridiculous that they are taking that away here.” The plants in the Hokona Garden will be transplanted on Friday at 1 p.m.
Leftist leaders protest capitalism by Alan Clendenning The Associated Press
PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil — Leftists in Brazil for a week of protests against capitalism denounced corporate greed on the second day of the World Social Forum, saying Tuesday that big companies humbled by the global meltdown must be prevented from controlling natural resources and harming the environment. In Peru, for example, foreign and domestic miners are vying for government concessions to explore for gold, silver and zinc on traditional Indian lands where tribe members eke out a living from small farms threatened by contamination, said Carlos Candiotti, leader of an anti-mining group. “These companies come into our territory without our approval, but the state must recognize our rights because we’re the owners, with

ancestral rights to the land where we live,” Candiotti said. Now in its 10th year, the social forum is the annual counterpoint to the World Economic Forum starting Wednesday in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, and leftist leaders are gleefully criticizing the bankers and business titans hit hard by the financial crisis. “Capitalism’s unsustainability has never been so obvious,” said Brazilian philosopher and sociologist Candido Grzybowsky, one of the forum’s leaders. “We need to create a system based on social and environmental justice.” Grzybowsky and others said nations that have exerted greater state control over economies as a result of the meltdown must go further, warning that large corporations will try to reassert their grip on the world and push policies that critics say emphasize reliance on free markets at the expense of social welfare.

campus, UNM has enhanced the quality of messaging and images sent to all prospective students, sent e-mail reminders about reenrolling and sought out transfer students from in-state feeder schools and out-of-state markets, Babbitt said. For the fall semester, UNM saw about a 6 percent increase, which Carmen Alvarez Brown, vice president of Enrollment Management, attributed to the streamlined e-mail correspondence and the economy. Despite the increase, freshman Alyssa Velasquez said she didn’t feel like just another student receiving e-mail correspondence from the University. “The e-mail between semesters was really helpful,” Velasquez said. “It kept me updated about when to sign up for classes on time, and I got all the info I needed. It really felt like the school cares about its students.” Freshman Candace Salazar said she enjoyed the e-mail reminders but felt the recruitment package she received before attending UNM could have been enhanced by students talking about the ways to get involved on campus. “When everything comes from staff it seems weird,” she said.
While UNM’s administration hounds students to stay in school, there are factors outside of the University that may also increase enrollment. The processes to apply for and receive financial aid have become easier for students, and the economy has played a role, however Babbitt contends a weak economy is not the most significant contributor to the increase. “We have had great success in enrolling non-resident students, which really defies the economic variable,” Babbitt said. Babbitt explained the University is seeking a collaborative effort between academic and other support services to “send a unified message that it benefits students tremendously to stay on track and graduate as soon as possible. It seems to be working since returning students are up 6.8 percent compared to last spring.” Other enrollment changes show freshmen increased 21.69 percent, transfer students rose by 18.71 percent and graduate students increased by 4.89 percent compared to last spring. Junior Tracie Brazie said he’s noticed more students on campus “It is definitely harder to find a parking spot,” he said.
“We need to make sure the neoliberals never take over again,” said Arthur da Silva Santos, president of Brazil’s largest confederation of labor unions. “There are just a few hundred companies today that hold all the cards for the global economy.”

Zach Gould / Daily Lobo Amy Murtagh shows off the new snowshoes at the UNM Bike Shop on Wednesday night. You can rent snowshoes for $20 per day for the full-moon hike in the Valles Caldera National Preserve on Saturday.
If you’ve ever wondered what Bigfoot feels like running awkwardly through the snow, you might want to check out the full-moon snowshoe hike on Saturday. UNM Recreational Services lets students rent snowshoes ($20/day) to explore the Valles Caldera National Preserve. The moonlight hike is from 6 to 10 p.m. A $15 permit is required to hike the trail at night. The intense, serene feeling that consumes the valley when it’s covered in snow and darkness is worth the 90-minute drive. Snowshoeing requires hikers to breath deeply, go slow and get into the rhythm of the trek. In one hour of snowshoeing you can burn 600 calories, according to NutriStrategy.com. “If nobody’s done it, being out there at night is just amazing,” said Kimberly DeVall, the recreational specialist for the Valles Caldera National Preserve. “Most people tend to go around La Jara trail, which is that mound in the middle of the Valle Grande. That’s about a mile and a half trail and it’s very easy. It’s great for beginners.” Balancing in snowshoes only takes a
couple minutes of steady walking to get used to. After you get used to the darkness, the moonlight gives off enough light to see your shadow. The scenic rest areas along the trails offer an escape from the noise pollution of the city and allow one to enjoy the simple sights and sounds of nature. Snowshoes distribute your weight over the snow, so sinking isn’t a problem. In order to stay strapped on, snowshoes must be paired with a good pair of hiking boots. Non-hiking boots work OK as long as you have a pair of gators — waterproof strips of material that protect your shins and shoes from snow. It’s about 20 degrees colder in the Valles Caldera than it is in Albuquerque. “Once the sun goes down we reach negative numbers up here,” DeVall said. “We definitely want to stress being wellprepared for clothing. Occasionally there are people who aren’t back by 10 p.m. They go out on a trail and they forget that it takes almost twice as long to get back than it does to get out to where their halfway point is, because of exhaustion and the cold and what-not.”

Haitian volunteers helping the people of Haiti by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
Garbage bags filled with donated clothes and shoes are piled upon pellets of rice, beans and medical supplies in three rooms of Maggie Doerrer’s house. Doerrer is a citizen of Haiti and America. Watercolors by Haitian artists hang along the walls. Haitian music sings from her living room. Right now, she is sifting through boxes and bags of donated goods, packing some into other boxes to leave for Haiti and tossing others into a pile to be washed and then rushed off to the country. “People are just so eager to give right now,” Doerrer said. “They just give and sometimes don’t wash their clothes, but we take anything we can get.” Doerrer and Cecelia Westman, Doerrer’s surrogate daughter, recently organized a food and clothing drive called “Fill the Bus/ Haiti or Bust” on Jan. 23 for Haitian relief. Specifically, the goods donated would be going to a town just north of Port-au-Prince called Cabaret, where Doerrer lives part of the year. A celebration of Haitian music and dance occurred while the UNM shuttle bus was being filled with goods. Doerrer will drive the bus to Miami and onto a ferry to Haiti. “Saturday was overwhelming in a wonderful way because I didn’t know what to expect,” Westman said. “I thought ‘Are people really going to take this seriously? Are they going to come?’ Before I knew it, there were so many people there. People ready and willing for this bus to go. I think people want to actually feel like they are doing something. They are really contributing. And everyone is asking ‘What can I do, what can I do?’” Organizers received more than three busloads of goods. “Everybody has problems,”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charlie Sheen’s wife is recovering at a North Carolina wellness center after an infection nearly took her life, her lawyer said Wednesday. Yale Galanter said Brooke Sheen, 32, was flown by private plane from Los Angeles after her release from a hospital. He denied Internet reports that she was in drug or alcohol rehab. Brooke Sheen was “mentally and physically exhausted” when she left the hospital and her mother arranged for her to go to a place that will help her recover, Galanter said. He refused to name the facility and said it will not be made public. Galanter described it as a wellness center with an emphasis on spiritual and physical healing with yoga and healthy food. “She’s definitely not in a place for drug or alcohol rehabilitation,” he said. Brooke Sheen has been through

Doerrer said. “I know we can’t help everybody, but we could make a difference. We’re not doing it for us, we are doing it for the people.” The bus, a mid-sized Ford Econoline, sits in their front yard. The “UNM Carrier Shuttle” tag on the side is peeling off with age and the seats are nicked with holes, but Westman said it should be able to handle the load. She worries about the weight on the bus’ axles, and her conversation is punctuated with quick glances out to the yard to watch over her son. She often stops packing goods and launches into animated tales about the plight of the Haiti crisis. She lingers on the fact that Haiti has always needed help, and it’s during these parts of conversation that she lowers her voice and tells stories about her hometown. After the quake, Westman came up with the idea to send the bus filled with food to the Haitian countryside. “Then the earthquake happened, and everyone is in shock,” Westman said. “We’re watching the news and we’re seeing horrible, horrible stuff on the news, and I just mobilized in my mind. It was almost like an epiphany. I was getting ready to head out, and it just popped into my head. And it worked out. We’re not finished.” Now Westman spends her days prepping the bus for its departure, gathering more donations, and planning the bus’ route across America and through Haiti. While she’s at Doerrer’s house, she sifts through the piles of clothing, food and medical supplies. Of course, this is in addition to all of Westman’s normal activities. Before the quake, she was just another transfer student working on finishing school and raising her son. Even today, she still wakes up at 6 a.m., prepares her son for school and then heads to her classes at UNM for the rest of the morning. By 3 p.m. she’s back at the Doerrer’s house and working on getting the bus

numerous ordeals since Christmas Day, when a domestic disturbance at the Sheens’ Aspen home propelled them into headlines, Galanter said. “Since Dec. 25, she’s been assaulted by her husband and had a knife put to her throat, decided to reconcile with her husband, which the court prevented, delayed having oral surgery because of a scheduled court hearing and then developed an infection that spread to her blood stream,” he said. “She developed pneumonia and she almost lost her life.” During her seven-day stay at a hospital in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles, Brooke Sheen was in intensive care for several days. “She’s been through a lot,” said Galanter. He said Brooke Sheen’s mother is very protective of her daughter and wanted her to go to a quiet place to convalesce where she would not be hounded by the press. Doctors recommended the North Carolina location, Galanter said.

operating and ready to go. She’s up until two or three in the morning, and then begins the process again. “Every extra minute, every in-between minute I have, is spent working on this project,” she said. However, in the last week she’s already missed three classes, and figures she’ll probably miss more, and she’s even considering dropping out for this semester. “I’m sure I have some professors that are already pretty upset with me because I have not been there,” she said. “I haven’t been sleeping. And all of us have been paying for it, but we have got to do it. We have got to do it. This a big thing. It made me really think about if I even really want to stay in school this semester because I can’t let everything slip right now. But at the same time, I feel like I am doing a really good thing.” Her dedication has inspired her family’s work ethic. “We all work,” Doerrer said. “But Cecelia works hard because she’s the one putting her brain out to call to this, to call here, to call that. She’s the one putting the word out, talking to people and telling them what we are about here.” For those looking to donate more, Westman and Doerrer said they need more food and organic seeds for the Haitian people to plant. To donate to Haiti call Cecelia Westman at 505-489-2602.

Radio Fig Jungle throws charity bash for Haiti by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo
Radio Fig Jungle
Radio Fig Jungle to Albuquerque: Don’t be Haitin’. You’ll find reggae, rock, grunge and funk if you go to the benefit concert for Haiti earthquake victims at El Rey Theatre on Saturday. Four bands — the Ground Beneath, Good Old Hiroshima, Stain Glass and Radio Fig Jungle — are giving all of the proceeds to the Red Cross and Food for the Poor. Radio Fig Jungle bassist Bill Espinosa said he wanted to do a benefit show for victims of Hurricane Katrina, but never got a response from the Red Cross. This time he asked his aunt for help in getting local businesses to support the band’s show. “We needed to pay this $800 to set up the venue for the night,” he said. “Within a week we got plenty of sponsors and raised plenty of money for it. Now we got in touch with the Red Cross and the Food for the Poor organization, and they’re both going to be sending representatives

to the show to help take money.” Guitarist/vocalist Roman Wagner said the bands are centered on involving the businesses in the community, like Wagner Farms, and creating awareness about the victims’ situations. “Everybody in each country is important,” Espinosa said. “And I was hearing recently that the count of orphans in Haiti now is really close to the million mark. I was thinking that is just too much. Anything we can do to help raise money for that kind of cause is totally important.” Wagner said this gives college

“Period sex” can relieve menstrual cramps and make showering more fun by Isabel Column
Ladies, it’s time to stop limiting yourselves sexually – no matter what time of the month it is. I think it’s just plain unfair that during a woman’s period, it’s expected that she either transform into her partner’s oral sex slave or behave as if she belongs to a convent. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can be even more fun and rewarding than sex during other times of the month. According to health information Web site WebMd, orgasms and exercise (both of which are achieved through intercourse) can help relieve menstrual cramps. Also, while those fluctuating hormone levels that come along with having your period can turn you into a raging you-know-what, they can also increase your libido, making your sexual experience that much more enjoyable. Even though I’m in a long-term relationship and do find my desire for sex to be greater during my period, I’m rarely able to get my boyfriend to cooperate with me. The conversation always goes something like this:
DL
Boyfriend: “Babe, if I had blood coming out of my business down there, you wouldn’t want anything to do with it.” Me: “That’s because if you had blood coming out of you down there I’d be busy driving you to the hospital.” As much as I’d like to, I can’t place all of the blame on my beau for maintaining such an attitude. For thousands of years, cultures across the globe have viewed menstruation as evil, dirty and even a sickness. Throughout history, certain Islamic, Christian and Jewish beliefs suggested women should be segregated from men during their periods, that they should refrain from handling food and performing certain chores, and that children conceived by women on their periods would be physically and mentally diseased. Even present-day American society attaches an irrational stigma to menstruation. Feminine hygiene products advertised as having “quiet” wrappers (heaven forbid another woman in the ladies room hears you unwrapping a pad or tampon) and super-discrete packaging sends women the message that their period is something they should be
ashamed of. If you’ve never tried “period sex” before and would like to, talk to your partner to find out if he or she is on the same page. If you’re both ready but still afraid of a mess, here are some tips to ensure your love den doesn’t end up resembling a scene from “The Shining:” -Try to stick to one sex position (missionary is probably best). The more you’re moving around, the more potential there is for blood to get everywhere, which could very well put a damper on the mood. -Protect your sheets. Put a darkcolored, inexpensive towel down on the bed first. -Have sex in the shower. With the water running, chances are you’ll hardly notice the blood. Not to mention you’ll both be hot, wet and slippery. Need I say more? While sex during menstruation is perfectly healthy, it is still entirely possible for a woman to get pregnant while she is on her period. There is also evidence to suggest it is the most likely time for a woman to contract an STI due to changes in acidity levels in her vagina.
