Smoking ban is ‘tobacco totalitarianism’ Students missing out on work aid Smokers aren’t always utilizing designated areas by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu

It’s been more than a year and a half since UNM became a “smokefree” campus, but so far no one has been punished for smoking outside of designated areas. Student Conduct Officer Rob Burford said five or six people have been warned to obey the policy. He said punishments for continued tobacco violations include probation, community service and even suspension. “The policy is intended to be educational, not punitive,” Burford said. Anyone caught smoking where they’re not supposed to is reported to the Dean of Students Office, according to policy. The Dean of Students Office then conducts an investigation to determine whether a violation occurred, and corrective action is taken if necessary. The policy calls on faculty, staff and students rather than UNM campus police to report their peers. Student David Gutierrez said the ban is well-intentioned but inconvenient.

Work-study positions are available to thousands of UNM students, but so few students take advantage of the offer that some of the funds have been returned to help with statewide budget crises. Not enough students take advantage of work-study, a federally subsidized program that provides students with jobs, said Karen Kennedy, New Mexico Higher Education Department director of financial aid. “More students request workstudy than actually (go out and) do work-study,” she said. “Several years ago, NMHED received unused work-study funds back from all institutions to help with budget crises.” Student Employment Manager Marisa Castaneda said the number of students participating in the work-study program has declined

Six-figure system still offline BYU-UNM brawl Safer, card-swipe entrances would replace dorms’ lock-and-key setup leads to suspensions by Elizabeth Cleary

news@dailylobo.com

In fall 2008 UNM Housing spent $206,000 of student rent money to install a card-swiping system at Redondo Village, but it remains offline nearly three years later. Brian Ward, Housing’s Physical Plant manager, said officials opted to turn off the system because it ran on different software than cardswipe systems on the rest of main campus. He said if and when the system is ever turned on again, Housing would have to spend more money to install the correct software. He also said Housing was not able to secure proper technical support for the system. “No one on the campus uses that system apparently, and within our department we don’t have the IT expertise to manage that particular piece of software,” he said. “We don’t want to necessarily go to the expense of making that system work when it’s not the campus standard.” Housing Director Patrick Call said the system was tested during spring 2009, but that Housing had to turn it off in fall 2009 because it didn’t have the resources to keep it running. “We did not have a system in place for turning cards off or adding them to the systems or any after-hours re-

Ward said card-swiping systems on outer doors are safer for dorm residents than lock-and-key systems. “If a student were to lose an exterior door key, you normally wouldn’t change out every student’s key and change out every lock on that building because it’s just too many,” he said. “If a student lost their apartment key within RVA, we would

change all the keys there so that if someone found the keys and meant to do harm, they may be able to get into the building, but they wouldn’t be able to get into a student’s private space.” Nicole Perez, a freshman in Redondo Village, said she lost her keys in October. She said Housing charged her $100 for replacement

The verdict is in. The Mountain West Conference on Monday suspended five UNM and four BYU baseball players after a heated exchange between UNM’s Quay Grant and BYU’s Chris Capper escalated into a bench-clearing brawl at the conclusion of Saturday’s matchup in Provo, Utah. The MWC reviewed tape of the brawl over the weekend before meting out discipline. All told, the conference punished 12 players, handing out everything from public reprimands to suspensions. Of the most serious, Grant, Luke Campbell, Jonathan Mata, John Twichell and Cory Maltz will serve a three-game suspension starting immediately. The MWC also shelved BYU’s Ryan Bernal, Bret Lopez, Brock Luker and Blake Torgersen for three games for their roles in the altercation. The four Lobos will miss today’s road opener against Texas Tech and Wednesday’s game in addition to the first game of UNM’s three-game series against UNLV, slated to start Friday. Lobo catcher Mitchell Garver was also issued a warning for flashing an obscene gesture, but will not

BYU’s Wes Guenther was hit with a public reprimand for “unduly provocative actions” toward another player. Head coach Ray Birmingham said in a text Monday that he couldn’t talk about the brawl because of MWC rules. BYU head coach Vance Law was reprimanded by the conference for critical remarks he made following Saturday’s melee. He told the Daily Herald on Saturday that UNM provoked the brawl. “My office is right where they (New Mexico) walk through (after the game).

NO: It’s really classical, and you can make multiples of something, when before you could make only one. It’s significant to the industrial revolution to demonstrate that kind of progress and process. You can make an image and make and object that you can just saturate so that it doesn’t have any context anymore. DL: Why is school important for an artist? NO: It reins you in, because I think when you’re not in school, everything is so expansive. When you are in school, you narrow it down and you learn your craft. I’ve done it on my own, but it makes it a little easier. DL: Where do you draw inspiration? NO: Personally, I have a mental disorder. So what happens for me is that the sorting out of what goes on in my head comes out in my work. Form follows function. It’s not like I think of an idea and try to say something with it. The idea comes out. It’s the process doing things that makes the art come out. DL: What do you hope to do with your career as an artist? NO: The goal is always to sell work and get into galleries and have my work seen. I’ve done work for galleries, so the other side is also doable. It’s just wide open. There are so many opportunities for artists. It doesn’t seem like there are, but there are if you look.

Daily Lobo: What are you doing? Norma Ortega: I am getting the investment off of my bronze piece. It’s the white stuff. It’s like what you paste the wax in then you melt all the wax out then you have a shell. Then you pour the bronze in, then you break it off the bronze once you pour the bronze in. Now I am taking it all out because it’s pretty tactic. Then I will sand blast it, and then finish it all up, polish it, and make the areas rough where I want to make it rough. Then put a different color or many different colors and then it will be done. DL: Why do you have to wear a mask? NO: It’s silicate. It clogs up your lungs, and it’s really bad to breathe. DL: Tell us about the piece you are working on. NO: It’s kind of a hybrid. We were supposed to take two different things and put them together. So I took a doll and a butternut squash. It’s kind of a happy accident. It looks like a baby in a uterus, so this looks kind of like an umbilical chord. And this was a spew so the air would go through the piece. I like the way it looks. It kind of looks like a grapevine. DL: Why is it important to learn the bronze technique?

Atomic obsession archived in library Content includes books, posters and magazines by Phil Parker

Associated Press Citizens move underground, walking single-file on a wooden plank. Elsewhere, they make an orderly evacuation from a damaged building, headed the direction pointed out by an officer nearby. They’re all wearing gas masks. The hand-drawn and cartoonishly colored images are surrounded by Russian text, and they’re freaky, particularly in light of ongoing events in Japan, where fears of radiation poisoning and a meltdown at the earthquake-crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant sent mothers tearing through grocery stores after bottled water because government officials warned that tap water in Tokyo is too contaminated for babies.

and “Preventing World War III.” Among the fiction Bell donated is “Poseidon’s Shadow,” “Operation Emerald,” “America 2040,” “The Flight From Winter’s Shadow,” and “Thunderball,” in which James Bond attempts to stop a madman armed with nukes. The collection is so huge it hasn’t been entirely catalogued yet. “I searched nationwide for a home for the collection and was fortunate to have found the right place for it,” Bell said. Why did he gather so much information on nukes in the first place? “Because I’m weird,” he said. Then Bell, who does not seem weird at all in conversation, elaborated. He recalled reading a Parade magazine in his UCLA fraternity house “a long, long time ago,” and coming across an article on how to be successful in life. Among the suggestions, Bell said, “was find a subject about which you

The collection is estimated to include around 5,000 books and an even greater number of magazines, all either wholly or in part about the 20th century’s nuclear age. The gas-mask-laden drawings are part of an enormous collection of nuclear materials at the more than 100-year-old Fray Angelico Chavez History Library, part of the Palace of the Governors. “They’re Russian civil defense posters,” said Al Bell. “They’re about how to protect yourself against nuclear attack.” He compared them to signs that hung in American schools during the Cold War, in which children hunkered under desks. Bell, 77, donated the ColdWar-era posters, along with thousands of books and magazines, to the library about a year ago. The collection is estimated to include around 5,000 books and an even greater number of magazines, all either wholly or in part about the 20th century’s nuclear age. It’s an eclectic mix of materials. The non-fiction includes memoirs by Harry Truman, numerous books by Henry Kissinger (including “Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy”) and titles like “The Growth of American Foreign Policy,” “From Hiroshima to Glasnost,” “The Wizards of Armageddon,” “The Ethics of War”

need to know nothing, but learn all you can about it.” Among the reasons for doing this was, simply, to keep your mind sharp: “To impose upon oneself the mental discipline of remaining actively involved in learning.” That was the seed. Bell joined the Navy after college and flew planes in Japan from a base about 35 miles from Hiroshima. He was a nuclear weapons qualified pilot, he said, trained to drop nuclear bombs. On one flight, he looked through the cross hairs of a small telescopic device mounted to the hull of his plane, right at the Tshaped Aioi Bridge — Hiroshima’s ground zero. He wondered whether he was the first person to see the bridge that way since it was targeted on Aug. 6, 1945. “The whole idea overwhelmed me,” he said. “When we got back to the base, I picked up the only books they had on the subject, one was John Hersey’s “Hiroshima.” All of a sudden, it clicked. After many efforts to find something to follow that author’s advice (in Parade), I’d finally found it.”

since the start of the semester. “Currently, we have 836 workstudy students,” she said. “At the beginning of the year, we started with approximately 1,100-1,200 work-study students.” Most work-study positions start at the federal minimum wage of $7.50 per hour. Federal and state funds cover 70 cents of every dollar the program spends for labor cost, according to the New Mexico Higher Education Department. Although most work-study jobs are on campus, UNM student employment office does list some off-campus employment opportunities. Evelyn Gardner, of Si Se Puede Learning Center — an off-campus child-development center — said contrary to the trend, the center

has successfully gotten students to apply. “We use our current work-study employees to help recruit students that are interested in the position,” Gardner said. She said the staff at the learning center is supportive of UNM’s work-study program because it gives students a chance to give back to the community, while learning instructional and professional skills. Kennedy said work-study is a good option for students who qualify. “Work-study is important because it can reduce borrowing by students, and students who participate in work-study generally do better in school and stay in school,” she said.

Smoking

“When I get out of class at Johnson after being there for more than two hours, if I want a cigarette, I have to walk all the way to Zimmerman Library,” he said. “Instead I usually go without, or smoke outside of Johnson and then everyone that walks by gives me a dirty look.” The policy aims to reduce the number of designated tobacco areas during a five-year period until UNM is completely tobacco-free, leaving many students with nowhere to smoke on campus. Student Josh Gerring said the policy infringes on individual rights. “I can understand that secondhand smoke is a health concern, and it is perfectly acceptable in my eyes to try to control it,” he said. “But UNM is presumptuous enough to tell me that I can’t even chew tobacco, which affects no one but myself. … It’s tobacco totalitarianism. (UNM President David) Schmidly doesn’t know what’s best for me, and I wish he would stop pretending he did.” The policy bans electronic cigarettes, which contain no tobacco and are considered by some to be a cessation tool. Student Julia Anderson said she is disappointed the ban isn’t firmly enforced. “I have terrible asthma,” she said. “Before the ban, I used to have trouble breathing while walking through the Duck Pond area, or around Zimmerman … I see people smoking all over the place despite the ban. I’ve even asked police officers to tell people to stop and they never do.”

What is stepping and step dance?

Stepping is a dance tradition created in the early 1900s by African American college students when the body is used as an instrument to create intricate rhythms and sounds through a combination of footsteps, claps and spoken word. Though stepping is traditionally aligned with college fraternities, the art form is spreading its wings to new venues and participants, such elementary and high schools, church and community groups and Latino, Native and Asian American Greek-letter organizations.

Sponsored by the UNM Student Activities Center, UNM Multicultural Greek Council and ASUNM Student Special Events. For more information call 277-4706.

Letter Past revolutionaries have shown how to fight oppression Editor, In a recent letter to the Daily Lobo, Randi Beck wrote that a “successful student protest” regarding budgetary matters was practically unknown as far as she knew. Well, not exactly … As a graduate student at UNM during 1987-89, I participated in a movement that culminated in the occupation of Scholes Hall. The April 1989 uprising came after a regents’ meeting where students delivered impassioned testimony against a $100 tuition increase. Students recounted how they juggled jobs, classes and children. In an age of diminishing financial aid, some told how they stripped, peddled drugs or sold their blood plasma to make ends meet. Plopped down in stone-faced silence, the regents did not respond to students’ concerns. By unanimous vote, they approved a 7.9 percent tuition hike. The regents included former astronaut and Eastern Airlines Chairman Frank Borman, nuclear pharmacist Robert Sanchez, Los Alamos National Laboratories Director Sig Hecker, car dealer Ken Johns and Colleen Maloof of Coors beer distribution fame. Outraged students took over President Gerald May’s office, settling in for a sleep-in that lasted nearly two weeks in the rechristened “Solidarity Hall.” The NAACP, Southwest Organizing Project, LULAC and countless others supported the struggle. The Rev. Jesse Jackson sent a message of support. Although the regents held firm, the protest encouraged UNM’s managers to establish a lowincome student grant for several years before it disappeared. The Scholes Hall occupation did not come out of thin air. Students and community members had organized around the mismanagement of KUNM, minority retention and recruitment, escalating tuition hikes and other issues. A 1988 rally organized by the All Campus Committee for Educational Survival (ACCES) drew about 1,000 people. You will find no mention of the above events in official UNM histories. “For several years, we have witnessed continuous layoffs, payoffs and scandals at the University of New Mexico,” the Scholes Hall occupiers said in a statement. “These problems indicate a lack of accountability on the part of the UNM Board of Regents and the administration …” Sound familiar? Some ridiculed the Scholes Hall occupiers as silly slackers grumbling over a measly $100. Yet the protesters were clear that the battle wasn’t about a one-time increase, but involved the ability of lowincome students and students of color to access higher education. History has vindicated the protest. In 1976, UNM resident undergraduates paid $260 per semester for tuition. Next semester, they will pay $2,904.60. If the minimum wage had kept pace with rising tuition costs, student workers should now earn about $25 per hour. But in 2011, even part-time jobs are a scarce commodity and Pell grants are threatened by the budget axe. The Lottery Scholarship funds are expected to dry up in 2014 or 2015, according to the state Legislative Finance Committee. A Daily Lobo poll revealed that about one-third of respondents were already more than $20,000 in educational debt. Is debt serfdom the fate of future graduates? In the spirit of 1989, only a massive outcry by students, UNM staff and community members will assure that higher education is affordable and accessible to all. Kent Paterson UNM alumnus

Column

Keep booze in bars, not at The Pit by Danny Hernandez

Daily Lobo Guest Columnist I’m looking at the front page of Wednesday’s Albuquerque Journal. The top headlines are related to alcohol abuse. The big one reads, “NOT GUILTY” in big, bold all-caps. The story is about Scott Owens, the guy who killed four teens near Santa Fe last summer. He was acquitted. His attorney never disputed Owens’ 0.16 blood-alcohol level — twice the presumptive legal intoxication limit. He only disputed reasonable certainty that Owens was solely responsible for the crash. The reasonable doubt was created by the teens’ erratic driving before the crash. Also at the top of the page is “Beer at Pit A Step Closer.” If you read the Lobo, you know this story. Serving alcohol at The Pit is a really bad idea. Wherever large numbers of people drink, there will be some who will abuse. UNM may argue that beer will only be sold in luxury boxes, but it won’t be long before pushback will force UNM to sell to any Pit attendees. What percentage of 17,000 will get into trouble is anyone’s guess, but New Mexico already has too many alcohol-related problems. For anyone watching UNM’s development patterns (and where they moved Student Services), there is no doubt that locating Lobo Village next to The Pit is no accident. Some argue it is to house UNM athletes near where they train (something UNM denied because an athletes’ housing complex is prohibited by NCAA rules). What nobody can argue is that the proximity of The Pit to Lobo Village will increase Pit attendance by undergrads living in Lobo Village. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There’s a lot to be said in favor of school spirit to motivate undergrads to become grads. But some of those undergrads who attend games will try to drink. Given the myriad of

creative ways underage drinkers have of getting alcohol, this means some of those undergrads will succeed. Regardless of whether these students will walk or drive home, this is not a good thing. As with everywhere else in the U.S., underage drinking is a huge problem in N.M. Thirty percent of New Mexico teens report having had their first drink before age 13. There is a correlation between the age of a person’s first drink and chronic alcohol problems including dependence and abuse, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, nervous system damage and other chronic alcohol-related issues later in life.

Regardless of whether students will walk or drive home, this is not a good thing. Their children are more likely to have fetal alcohol syndrome from prenatal alcohol ingestion. People who start drinking before age 14 are five times more likely to become addicted to alcohol (that’s nearly half of them) than those who wait until they are at least 21 (slightly less than 10 percent). Recent studies show that underage drinking causes irreparable neurological damage to the brain, including damage to anti-alcoholism coping mechanisms. In addition, alcohol significantly contributes to the top three causes of teen death: motor vehicle crashes, suicides and homicides. In New Mexico, we rank sixth, third and ninth in these causes of teen deaths nationally, respectively. We can no longer afford to consider underage drinking as an inevitable rite of passage. So why is it that New Mexico’s flagship

university is fighting to be able to send absolutely the wrong message to kids who attend Lobo basketball games? The people who live directly east of the football stadium have had issues with drunken tailgaters from time immemorial. Their issues have been noise, cars blocking driveways, people urinating and puking on lawns, drunken drivers driving on neighborhood streets and belligerent drunks — the latter three being directly related to the kegging that goes on before games in the parking lot across the street. This is why a fence was built between the parking lot and Buena Vista Avenue about six years ago. Although increasing stadium-area alcohol consumption won’t increase direct neighborhood interactions with Pit drinkers, it is likely to increase drunken behavior, including driving while intoxicated, through their community after a game. They have enough of that during tailgating even though APD and UNMPD actively work to prevent problems. This will just give police more to do. Who will pay for the overtime? UNM? On top of all of this, there’s the direct positive correlation between alcohol use and rape (especially “date rape”), incest, murder and every other violent crime. Thirty-six percent of criminal offenders were drunk when they committed their crimes. Giving The Pit a license to sell alcohol is a bad idea. It will increase our already out-of-hand underage drinking problem, increase surrounding neighborhoods’ issues with UNM and make New Mexico’s reputation for out-of-control alcohol abuse worse. Let’s hope the city is able to continue to block it from happening. Hernandez is a UNM graduate student and former GPSA council chair.

keys because a locksmith would have to go in and change the locks on her apartment door. She later found the old set of keys and discovered they meanstill worked to open her door, ing no locksmith ever came in to change the locks. “They said the reason the fee was so much was because the locksmith was going to have to change all the locks,” she said. “I was cleaning my room about a month ago, and I found my old keys that I had lost, so I had two sets. I tried them out. They worked completely fine.” Ward said Housing recently spent more money to install a card-swiping system at Hokona Hall. That system has also yet to be turned on. “That’s going to be on the standard system,” he said. “So that’s the direction we’re going. So as money becomes available or as we do projects on campus … We include the door-card access in that project, and that’s how we’ll roll out to other buildings.” Call said that the system in Redondo should be operational by fall 2011. “We have now just been approved to hire the appropriate technical staff to successfully employ the access systems properly,” he said.

Johnson announces bid for presidency Former governor runs on cost-benefit platform by Holly Ramer Associated Press

CONCORD, N.H. — Highlighting his background as both a governor and outdoor adventurer, former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson announced his presidential campaign outside the New Hampshire Statehouse on Thursday before heading for a mountain known as the birthplace of extreme skiing. Johnson, a Republican, acknowledged that he is virtually unknown in New Hampshire and other key primary states but said he won’t be outworked when it comes to retail politics. “I have to do, and want to do, really well in New Hampshire,” he said. “So I’m going to spend a lot of time in New Hampshire, where you can go from obscurity to prominence overnight with a good showing in New Hampshire.” Johnson, who has climbed Mount Everest and is an avid skier and bicyclist, planned to follow up his announcement with some spring skiing Saturday in New Hampshire’s Tuckerman Ravine, a large glacial cirque on 6,288foot Mount Washington, the tallest mountain in the Northeast. The ravine is a three-mile hike from the Appalachian Mountain Club’s visitor center, and most who venture in strap skis to their backpacks for the climb up. On a smaller scale, Johnson got a taste of New Hampshire’s fickle spring weather Thursday when wind gusts threatened to topple a large campaign sign behind him outside the Statehouse. Staffers quickly moved behind the sign to hold it steady while he spoke. “This is the first time I get to say this: I am running for the president of the United States,” Johnson said to the applause and cheers of about a dozen supporters. “To do that, I think you have to have a certain resume, and I’d like to think I do have it.”

Before serving as governor from 1995 to 2002, Johnson started a one-person fix-it business that grew to become one of the largest construction companies in New Mexico, with 1,000 employees. He said he can fix what he called America’s bankrupt status by asking two simple questions: What are we spending our money on? And what are we getting in return? “Everything should be a costbenefit analysis,” he said. “My entire life, I’ve watched government spend more money than it takes in, and I’ve just always thought there would be a day of reckoning with regard to that spending. I think that day of reckoning is here. It’s right now, and it needs to be fixed.” Johnson mentioned President Barack Obama just once, saying he supports repealing Obama’s health care overhaul legislation. But he also criticized Republicans, saying they also are to blame for out-of-control spending. “I think Republicans would gain a lot of credibility in this argument if Republicans would offer a repeal of the prescription health care benefit they passed when they controlled both houses of Congress and ran up record deficits,” he said. Johnson said he would bring spending down by raising the retirement age and making other changes to Social Security and reducing spending on defense, Medicare and Medicaid by 43 percent each. The latter two programs would become block grants controlled by the states, he said. “That would be 50 laboratories of innovation,” he said. He said he opposed the Iraq war from the start and though he initially supported the war in Afghanistan, he no longer believes American troops should be there. He also supports legalizing marijuana as a way to eliminate much of the violence along the Mexico border.

WATERLOO, Ill. — A former Marine who was having an affair spent months sending himself threatening emails before strangling his wife and two sons and spraying the crime scene with red paint to make it look like they were killed by a stalker, a prosecutor told jurors at the opening of the man’s trial Monday. But a defense attorney for Christopher Coleman disputed what prosecutors have acknowledged is largely circumstantial evidence, saying Coleman experienced a “common type of marital problems� and the emails could have been sent by someone who knew his passwords and set him up. Prosecutors claim Coleman killed his family because he feared his affair with his wife’s longtime friend would cost him his $100,000-a-year job as the security chief for a Missouri-based ministry with global reach and travel perks. His case, with its mix of religion, adultery and vio-

lence, has tantalized much of the St. Louis region since he was arrested in May 2009 and has been so closely watched that court officials had to set up a sort of lottery to dole out seats for the trial. Coleman told police his wife, Sheri, and 9- and 11-year-old sons were asleep when he left the house to work out at a gym about five miles away on May 5, 2009, but he grew concerned when he could not reach them by telephone. Their bodies were found after he called police. Authorities said they were strangled in their beds with some type of cord. Monroe County State’s Attorney Kris Reitz said Monday that witnesses would testify that Coleman’s wife and children died hours before their bodies were found, the red paint in his house was traceable to him and the deaths happened when he was months into a sexual relationship with a Florida woman who was his wife’s friend. Coleman worked for Joyce Meyer, who “would have in fact fired an employee who had an adulterous affair,� Reitz said during open-

ing statements. With its high pay, global reach and travel perks, “the evidence is that this is not a job the defendant wanted to lose,� he said. While the prosecutor told the 10woman, two-man jury the trial would be complicated and rest largely on circumstantial evidence and testimony from as many as 40 witnesses, one of Coleman’s attorneys urged them to be open-minded. “You’re going to find a lot of reasonable doubt (about the prosecution’s case) — a lot of things in there that don’t make sense,� defense attorney Bill Margulis said. Margulis acknowledged Coleman’s affair with Tara Lintz and the fact that emails threatening Coleman’s family may have been sent from his work laptop computer. But he said martial problems weren’t uncommon and someone could have hacked into Coleman’s computer to set him up as the suspect. “Just because an email was created on his computer doesn’t mean Chris wrote it,� Margulis said.

Protests target nuclear use by Natalya Vasilyeva and Yuras Karmanau Associated Press

MOSCOW — Ex-Soviet governments are failing to protect their people from the deadly legacy of the Chernobyl disaster, former cleanup workers and environmental groups charged Monday on the eve of ceremonies commemorating the 25th anniversary of the world’s worst nuclear accident. Russia, Ukraine and Belarus have cut the benefits packages for sickened cleanup workers in recent years, and many workers complained directly to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as he handed them awards for their work at a ceremony in Moscow. Officials in Bryansk, the Russian region most contaminated by the disaster, have failed to make necessary repairs at the local cancer hospital, worker Leonid Kletsov told the president. “It’s the only place of rest for us,� he said. “Officials promised to renovate it, but these promises are still promises.� The blast on April 26, 1986,

spewed a cloud of radioactive fallout over much of Europe and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes in the most heavily hit areas in Ukraine, Belarus and western Russia. The disaster did not become public knowledge for several days, because Soviet officials released no information until 72 hours after the accident. The explosion released about 400 times more radiation than the U.S. atomic bomb dropped over Hiroshima. Hundreds of thousands were sickened and once-pristine forests and farmland remain contaminated. The U.N.’s World Health Organization said at a Kiev conference last week that among the 600,000 people most heavily exposed to radiation, 4,000 more cancer deaths than average are expected to be eventually found. Chernobyl has come into renewed focus since an earthquake and tsunami triggered a nuclear disaster in Japan last month, with the country still struggling to bring the radiation-spewing Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant under control. Japanese newspapers Monday highlighted the significance of Cher-

nobyl, with the major daily Mainichi running a front page article headlined: “25 years from Chernobyl accident: 30km-zone still banned from residence — 100 years for complete decommissioning.� Inside, it carried interviews with former residents who lived near the reactors. The Asahi, meanwhile, interviewed a former Chernobyl worker under the headline: “Fukushima, don’t tread the same route.� In Germany, thousands of people demonstrated on Monday near several nuclear power plants, demanding a speedy end to the use of atomic energy. Japan’s crisis has prompted Germany to freeze plans to extend the life of its plants, order a temporary shutdown of its seven oldest reactors and seek a quicker transition to renewable energy. In Austria, Chancellor Werner Faymann used an event in Vienna marking the 25th anniversary of Chernobyl to call for a nuclear-free Europe. For many, the experiences of the people of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine present vivid examples of long-term government mishandling of nuclear catastrophe.

Recruit vows ‘one and done’ by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu

He might only play for one year, but when he does suit up, it will be for the UNM men’s basketball team. Jarion Henry gave a verbal commitment Sunday night to play with the Lobos next season. Henry sent a text to the Daily Lobo saying he wouldn’t comment on his commitment until he signs a National Letter on Intent, which he is expected to do later this week. The 6-foot-8-inch forward from Dallas, Texas, made a splash after he posted a YouTube video where he said he is a “one and done,� prospect, implying he will play only his freshman year before declaring for the NBA draft. UNM beat out Georgetown, USC, Kentucky, Marquette and Oregon to sign the four-star prospect. Henry joins Dominique Dunning and Hugh Greenwood as the third mem

Brawl

ber of UNM’s 2011 recruiting class. Henry averaged 14.8 points, 13.1 rebounds and 8.6 assists during his senior year at Kimball High School. He helped lead his team to a Texas 4A state championship. “It was all about loyalty,â€? Henry said during his televised announcement. “They’ve (UNM) been there for most of my games. They would fly down just to say ‘hi.’‌ I think that can be a spot for me where I can play right away.â€? ESPN.com has Henry ranked as the 34th best forward in the nation, and Rivals.com ranked him the 84th overall player in the nation. Henry’s verbal commitment is non-binding until he signs his National Letter of Intent. He has until May 18 to sign his letter of intent. If UNM fails to receive the letter, Henry can opt out of his commitment and chose another basketball program.

their players to come out, saying we needed to have Fredette today to hit a 3-pointer. That fired our guys up,� Law said. “I say this a little bit conservatively, but at the same time that even though we’re a Christian school there’s nothing wrong with competing. You can’t get pushed around. As long as we play hard within the rules, there’s nothing wrong with that.� At least two verbal run-ins precipitated the fight, according to several online reports. In the ninth inning of a contentious ballgame, BYU’s Austin Hall threw Twichell out at home. Twichell and BYU catcher Guenther exchanged words before being separated by umpires, the Daily Herald reported. Then in the handshake line, Capper and Grant got into another verbal spat, this time ending with Grant pushing Capper. That’s when all hell broke loose. Grainy footage of the fight shows a chaotic mob of players’ flailing arms as coaches and umpires dash madly to separate the two squads. Helmets and gear are strewn across the field, but it’s unclear in the video who threw punches. After about half a minute, both sides are separated and walk back to their respective dugouts. The Daily Herald reported that both Birmingham and Law were

summoned and reviewed the tape to determine who threw punches. Originally, only Torgerson and Grant were suspended, but the MWC deemed further action necessary after consulting with the institutions athletics directors. The MWC said players could be further punished if they are involved in any unsporting behavior the rest of the season. The MWC and UNM said they would have no further comment about the brawl. Saturday’s fisticuffs is just the latest episode in a contentious rivalry between UNM and BYU. Last March, head basketball coach Steve Alford was reprimanded after cameras caught him calling BYU’s Jonathan Tavernari an “asshole� after Tavernari apparently refused to shake Alford’s hand following the Lobos’ 8381 win in Provo, Utah. Alford’s tongue-lashing was but a blip on the radar compared to the Elizabeth Lambert YouTube sensation in November 2009. Footage showed Lambert clearly yanking Kassidy Shumway down by her ponytail during the MWC women’s soccer semifinals, before delivering an elbow shiver to the back of another player. Lambert was indefinitely suspended for her actions and wasn’t reinstated until the next season.

All of us love getting an A, whether you’re a slacker or a high achiever who needs a GPA boost. The Daily Lobo is here to offer unofficial suggestions for your fall schedule so you know where to find those “do the min., you win” classes. So gear up for a perfect 4.0 next semester, or the minimum passing GPA if that’s what you’re aiming for. Music Appreciation (MUS 139) While music appreciation is an easy class, students say it should also be given the label of “easiest class to fall asleep in.” Most of us have a rudimentary understanding of music, so when professor Erica Otero begins to explain what a tone or a beat is, it’s hard not to kick back and let the monotone piano and rhythmic clapping lull you to sleep. She doesn’t take attendance, and the only homework consists of around 30 online quizzes that you must retake until you get 100 percent. There are three tests, all multiple choice (no midterms or finals), and all of the study info and listening examples are found online. The Lobo suggests scheduling this class right after lunch, as post-meal lethargy perfectly matches the vibe one finds in that drowsy classroom. HBO Rome (CLST 333) In this class you’ll learn the history of Rome — HBO style. One class a week is devoted to watching an episode of the show, and in the second lecture professor Monica Cyrino explains its historical context and relevant terminology. Following the history of the Roman Empire beginning in 53 B.C., the show doesn’t skim over the darker sides of everyday Roman life: Sex and violence are present in every episode. While the lecture classes are more

important to attend, it is easy to watch the show at home — there are too many students to take attendance (461 to be precise). Students are allowed to bring a double-sided page of notes to the midterm and final exam, and there is no homework during the semester. Perhaps the most difficult aspect of the class is containing your arousal as Caesar’s niece and mistress make love — pretty raunchy for a history course.

Weight Training (PENP 114) While all physical education classes are an easy A, students say weight training is the most loosely structured of all. As with most PE classes, your grade is entirely based on attendance, said students who have taken the class. You have three excused absences before it begins to affect your grade, and students can participate in any type of physical activity that suits them. There’s no need to pump iron if that’s not your thing. It is easy to sign in for your friend if they are absent (don’t tell!), and a free fitness evaluation is included with the course. This class is a great way to force yourself to get in shape, and if nothing else, maybe you will find a toned and muscular workout partner to help you exercise both in and out of class. Cultures of the World (ANTH 130) Students say the purpose of cultures of the world is to teach about the diversity of human behavior, but the subject matter is manifested in the professors’ approach toward the workload of students. Confused? Let me explain. The professors feels it is imperative for students to understand the differences between cultures, and this seems to trump traditional academic standards. Therefore rules surrounding academic work are relaxed. There is no homework, and the four tests (including a midterm and final) are multiple choice. A study guide is handed out with all of the info that will be on an upcoming test. The course will answer questions such as: Why is female circumcision accepted and promoted in certain societies? How is this advantageous for them? Take this class if you want to understand exactly why people from different cultures are so different from you. It’s an eye-opening experience.

Want to fail? Take these by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

From introductory courses in math and science to languages that have come back from the dead to haunt living students, there are 92 UNM courses that have earned a failure rate as low as 20 percent and up to 55 percent, according to the Fall 2010 Course Outcomes Data (aka “Killer Courses�) compiled by the Office of Institutional Research. Math 121 Twelve out of the 92 killer courses were math classes, which also account for five of the six classes with failure rates above 50 percent. The class is supposed to prepare students for upper-division math courses. It’s unclear whether this failure rate is the result of a shaky public education system, but students, even with tutoring and after taking the class numerous times, have a hard time passing the class. Small-scale casting This course didn’t achieve killer status, but it requires around 200 hours of work per project, entailing students

to scratch and scrape silver and bronze all the while. The ensuing cacophony prompts anyone within a mile radius to flee. However, students who make the sacrifice are rewarded at the end of the semester with a tangible product, proof of survival. Physics 160 This class material isn’t difficult to grasp, but it requires much sacrifice. It has been said that teachers in these courses conduct the class with a somewhat egocentric bend, assigning homework as if this is the only course students are taking. Therefore, students are required to spend roughly 18 hours a week on homework, depending on their speed and level of motivation to complete it. The course had a 30 percent failure rate. Organic Chemistry II A continuation of the organic chemistry I, this class focuses on the chemistry of the compounds of carbon. While some may consider this riveting subject matter, the sheer amount of memorization this class entails presents a challenge more suited for thespians rather than scientists. While this is useful information to store away, the

work that goes into building that mental database is probably responsible for the 25 percent failure rate.

Advanced Latin II Latin 101 is listed with a 25 percent failure rate, separating the haves from the have-nots before successful students proceed to upper-division Latin. The work, which one student claimed physically assaulted and verbally abused her, is a demanding mistress, threatening subordinates who clearly took the course to satisfy masochistic desires. Not only do students have to translate from Latin into English, but they have to elicit poetic meaning. Fortunately, humans can’t die from lack of sleep, and these students seem to enjoy every minute of it.

It is appropriate that a piece of incredible magical realism can simply be referred to as magical. Literally everything is in place for this piece. The writing? Stellar. The acting? Captivating. The direction? Deft and watchful. The technical designs? Creative and mesmerizing. Taking a healthy amount of influence and inspiration from “One Hundred Years of Solitude,� Georgina H. Escobar’s “The Ruin� tells a dazzling tale of Latin American witchcraft, fantastical love and personal insanities. It’s dark and wickedly funny, absurd and balefully soothing. “The Ruin� gets everything right, beginning from its opening with the appearance of our stalwart straight man Leonardo, the young archeologist (Alex Knight). Knight is our mortal foothold for the first half of the play as the audience accompanies him into the play’s mystic, ancient — and often terrifying — jungle universe. Knight additionally carries the huge portion of the comedy, which the piece is gleefully swimming in. There are only four cast members, and everyone gets ample opportunity to add their own two cents of humor. All of them hit it monstrously out of the park. Knight’s boon is the reactionary humor to Leo’s alarming new environment. His fear and courage is hilari-

ous. His physical comedy is masterful, and his timing couldn’t be better. He is not an actor playing a part. He is transformed into a joyful, endangered adventurer. This goes for all the characters as well. “Natural� doesn’t quite cut it to describe the expert command of craft possessed by the performers onstage. You are entertained as effectively as you are absorbed into the play’s every detail. Rachel Shapiro possesses a ridiculous level of stage presence. It’s hard to take your eyes off her when she’s onstage no matter what she’s doing. She’s damn funny, too, dueling physically and verbally with Knight in many enjoyable scenes. Barbara Geary is indubitably the best part of the show as Sophia, the Witch of Cantemploya. Her range, subtlety and evolution of character are breathtaking to behold. Along we follow and identify with the young, comedic archeologist. “The Ruin� is truly Sophia’s story. One can only hope Geary continues to get such incredible parts to truly showcase her abilities as a performer. Bill Lang is a marvelous actor and a class act, to boot. He gets two parts to play, and his first, as a living portrait of Don Quixote, is certainly the most memorable part of the show. Bill-Lang-in-a-box will make your day. The set is beautifully detailed. Requiring a grand budget and incredible man hours, it outclasses the majority of Albuquerque theater.

Warm light pours from the packratted cave and distant, eerie sounds of unknown origin creep from every side. The sound design is sublime because it works perfectly with the way in which the story is told. Often it is so subtle or blends so well you question whether some of the sounds are supposed to be there at all. It’s really up to you to decide and sort through it for yourself. Escobar has also written original music that is performed live by musicians perched in view above the proceedings. Clever percussion and ardent guitars dot the piece and keep the mood gracefully controlled at every individual moment. It is a cruel joke that each “Words of Fire� show gets only three performances. Essentially that just means it’s a massive priority for you to see every show. If every play in Albuquerque was this well-designed, funded and acted, theater would not be in the struggling state it finds itself in.

Hiram sports bright colors and a necklace he hasn’t taken off in two years. He is a pro at being trendy, without having to spend big bucks. It’s obvious that making friends is always a good thing, with the occasional occurrence of a gift of clothing … or two. Hiram’s friends must have a knack for trends. His glasses, which he got from a friend in Paris, bring back the one-of-a-kind style of John Lennon. The rolled khakis and flip-flops tie Hiram’s laid-back look together. Favorite Trend: Bare feet Least Favorite Trend: Aeropostal popped collars Advice to A Fashion Defunct Friend: Anyone lacking a fashion sense should attend a “clothing swap.” Thrift stores or places to exchange clothing are the best places to find the latest vintage trends.

LOBO LIFE Al-Anon Peer Support Group Starts at: 4:00pm Location: Women’s Resource Center, 1160 Mesa Vista Hall Friends & family members of those struggling with someone else’s drinking can find support in a safe & confidential environment.

Yasmin knows that being fashionable also means being comfortable. She said that fashion should be to each his/her own. With that in mind, she dresses simply to impress herself. With the encroaching heat, a flowy Maxi dress, like Yasmin’s, is a good idea. Matched with floral Mary Jane flats, this outfit is fashion trendy, but also comfortable and cool.

Favorite Trend: Thrift store clothing Least Favorite Trend: Five-toed shoes Advice to a Fashion Defunct Friend: Don’t follow the fashion trends in the media or magazines. Everyone should wear what feels right on them.
