The Independent Student Voice of UNM since 1895

Romero runs on platform of experience, success

by Chloe Henson

assistant-news@dailylobo.com @ChloeHenson5 For the second consecutive school year, President of the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico Isaac Romero will file a bid for the undergraduate student government presidency this spring.

Romero said he originally planned to move on after his first term, but said he decided to stay because he felt more work needed to be done at ASUNM. “I haven’t really finished the work in ASUNM,” he said. “We’ve been able to accomplish a lot, and I think we can move forward and accomplish a lot more.”

Last year, Romero won his presidency with 757 out of 1,521 votes, according to an article by the Daily Lobo. About 7.8 percent of undergraduates voted in the election.

In his last campaign, Romero said he aimed to work on the Legislative Lottery Scholarship’s solvency during his current presidential term. While the bill that Romero and his colleagues supported, Senate Bill 150, didn’t pass the New Mexico Legislature, Romero said he thinks he fulfilled his promise to the students.

“I worked as hard as I could, got as many people as I could on board,” he said. “We moved forward. We had a good plan.”

Romero recently faced opposition from groups that believed he was misrepresenting them when ASUNM representatives handed out fliers at UNM day stating students supported SB 150.

The bill would have increased

the minimum GPA required to keep the scholarship from 2.5 to 2.75. Romero later apologized for the incident.

He said that if he is re-elected this year, he aims to reach out to students better through forums, speeches and using different forms of media, such as the

ASUNM website.

“The big thing is to hear our students more,” he said.

Romero said some of his projects for the upcoming year would be continuing plans to renovate Johnson Center and increase its hours of operation, to look into ways to improve local Wi-Fi and

to have 24-hour libraries.

“I think it all comes down to having that first year of experience and being able to implement a lot more,” he said, “Especially without the learning curve, which was definitely steep.”

Zeke Chavez, who will run

with Romero as the vice-presidential candidate, said he also wants to invest in students by increasing operation hours for the libraries and gym.

“We need to make sure that we invest in our students themselves,” he said, “It’s our

LAS VEGAS — The season-long theme of close losses continued for the New Mexico women’s basketball team at the Mountain West tournament Monday.

UNM guard Antiesha Brown missed a game-tying 3-pointer with two seconds left to give Utah State a 69-66 victory in the opening game of the Mountain West Championship.

The defeat was UNM’s 14th loss this season of seven or fewer points.

“For us seniors, it’s very tough.

It was a pattern, obviously,” forward Deeva Vaughn said. “But this is a whole different season … I felt like we were trying our best to win.”

In the second half, UNM shot just 22.2 percent (6 of 27) from the field after hitting 58.6 percent (17 of 29) in the first half.

Head coach Yvonne Sanchez said USU did a good job of denying the post in the second half,

which forced UNM to take more jump shots. Turnovers also cost the Lobos, as the team had 19 errors that turned into 25 points for the Aggies.

Those 19 turnovers by UNM (11-19) tied the record for most turnovers by a team in a first-round game.

“We just didn’t do a good job of passing the ball,” Sanchez said.

“We turned it over. That killed us the first four minutes of the second half. We turned it over from the high post, we turned it over from the short corner — we made just really errant passes. When we were covering those in the first half, we weren’t as aggressive.”

The Lobos led the entire game until Aggies forward Ingrida Strikas hit a layup for a 53-52 edge with 13:26 left in the second half. UNM had a 7:35 scoring drought in the second half that allowed USU to build a six-point lead.

For Associated Students of the University of New Mexico Senator Ayham Maadi, the commitment to being a student goes far beyond showing up for class, completing assignments and receiving grades.

“My personal journey here so far has connected me with people,” Maadi said. “I felt like I could contribute heavily and bring a special voice to the student government.”

Maadi is a first-generation Palestinian-American. He said he considers the four years he spent living abroad on the West Bank an indispensable experience that offered him valuable perspective.

Maadi said he is grateful for his parents’ decision to move him and his three siblings to the United States.

“At first, you know, I hated it. It was right after the sixth grade, and no one likes to move,” he said. “But I really look up to (my parents) for seeing the infinite benefit of being a multicultural and a more internationalized citizen of the world because it gives the capacity for empathy for different issues and peoples across the world.”

As a double major in chemical engineering and foreign languages with a minor in mathematics, Maadi agrees that he is not a typical ASUNM senator. He said he aims to make the undergraduate student government more diverse.

“I got involved in student government because I felt like there was an underrepresentation of a certain demographic of students here at the University of New Mexico,” Maadi said. “I felt

volume 118

like I could adequately represent those … from the scientific or (science, technology, math and engineering) fields when it comes to academics.”

While Maadi said he believes student involvement in ASUNM is adequate, he said he also believes that participation comes mostly from a certain demographic of students. He said he seeks to encourage students from a wider variety of academic disciplines and majors to get involved in student government.

“Although an issue might not directly affect a certain group of students — a science major versus a humanities major — I feel that people should adopt an interdisciplinary approach to problems and really be involved in issues that they might not think are for them,” he said. “That is what I encourage.”

Maadi said he believes that bringing different problem solving skills, such as the analytical approach of STEM fields, will benefit the student government, and that “concrete, unbiased data can really help solve an issue.”

Maadi said he believes it is crucial for every student to speak up, regardless of academic discipline.

“I think activism is for everyone,” Maadi said. “I don’t think it’s an exclusive title. I think if people were to forget or get rid of the stigmas behind what kind of person belongs in a role or a leadership role or any kind of ‘make a change’ role, I feel that there would be more understanding about what the issues are and how to go about them.”

students that really push us to go farther.”

But Chavez said one of his primary goals, should he be elected, is to get a permanent polling place at UNM. “I want to work with the (Bernalillo) County Clerk’s office to try to get a permanent polling place here because I don’t want students’ voices to be heard some

of the time — I want them to be heard all of the time,” he said.

While Chavez does not have previous experience with ASUNM, he said he has been involved with politics outside of the University. He said his lack of involvement with the student government could help him bring a new perspective to the position.

“If (Romero) has this

experience, and I have this outside perspective, what can we get done together? I think that’s a very powerful combination,” he said. “My goal is to bring a fresh perspective to ASUNM.” Undergraduate students can file for candidacy for all ASUNM positions until March 24.

UNM may offer static tuition

by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com @ArdeeTheJourno

The UNM Board of Regents on Monday heard a proposal that could give students the option to choose a slightly higher but fixed tuition rate for the following four years.

Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management Terry Babbitt presented the proposal at the meeting, which was held in the Student Union Building that morning. Babbitt said the University’s Tuition and Fee Policy Committee has been working on the model at the request of UNM President Robert Frank.

Babbitt said his team has been researching similar guaranteed tuition models at universities nationwide to compare with the proposed model.

He said that although some models for other universities are mandatory, UNM’s guaranteed tuition model would only be optional.

“We investigated several models around the country,” he said. “The item that we’re updating on is the voluntary model of guaranteed tuition.

Essentially, a student would have to opt in for that model.”

According to a document distributed at the meeting, UNM’s current in-state full-time undergraduate tuition, $6,447 per school year, would increase by 10 percent to $7,091 through the proposed model. If a student takes this option next school year, their tuition will stay at the increased amount until 2017.

“That will be comparable to an annual tuition increase of about 6 percent that they won’t have to pay in four years,” Babbitt said.

Through the present tuition model, the Board of Regents decides whether to increase tuition annually.

According to the document, the University estimates an average tuition increase of 6.4 percent every year starting next school year. This

William Aranda / Daily Lobo UNM President Robert Frank talks to the Board of Regents during a meeting in the UNM Student Union Building’s Ballroom C on Monday morning. The schedule included a proposal that could give UNM students the option to choose a slightly higher, but fixed, tuition rate. trend suggests tuition is expected to continually increase by about $450 per school year, leading to an expected tuition of $7,765 per school year by fiscal year 2017.

Consequently, the guaranteed tuition model would result in a fouryear cumulative tuition of $28,366, while the traditional model would result in $28,370 for tuition.

Babbitt said his team has already consulted with the Provost’s Office and with the Bursar’s Office, and said they will continue to work on the proposed model this month.

Athletics Budget At the meeting, Vice President for Athletics Paul Krebs presented to the Board of Regents the department’s financial data for fiscal year 2014.

Last year, Athletics received $4 million in student fees in accordance with an allocation made by the Board of Regents, Krebs said. He said the amount accounted for 13 percent of the department’s entire budget for the fiscal year.

According to a document from Athletics, the amount of student fees

After Aggies guard Jennifer Schlott missed a jumper, the Lobos rebounded the ball with 26 seconds remaining. UNM tried to run a play for the game-tying trey but messed up their timing, which ended with Brown chucking up a contested 3-pointer that missed.

“We were going to specifically go for a 3-point shot,” Vaughn said.

“Communication didn’t flow like it should have. That’s pretty much what happened.”

USU’s Schlott, who was named MW Player of the Year, torched the Lobos for 29 points on 11 of 24 shots to go along with seven assists.

In three games against the Lobos this season, Schlott averaged 30.6 points per game.

“We know what she (Schlott) likes to do. She’s still hard to guard,” Sanchez said. “She’s got an array of moves. She’s very smart. She does a good job.”

Vaughn paced the Lobos with 17 points and had a team-high eight boards. Brown and forward Khadijah Shumpert both had 13 points, while guard Sara Halasz scored 12 points.

Forward Stephanie Bairstow was the second leading scorer for the Aggies (15-15) with 16 points, hitting 7 of 11 attempts. Guard Makenlee Williams had 11 points and five rebounds.

Mountain West awards announced San Diego State guard Xavier Thames took home the Mountain West Player of the Year award two

days after the Aztecs clinched the MW regular-season title with a 51-48 win over New Mexico.

Aztecs head coach Steve Fisher was honored as MW Coach of the Year, SDSU forward Josh Davis earned Newcomer of the Year and teammate Dwayne Polee II was named Sixth Man of the Year.

UNLV forward Khem Birch garnered Defensive Player of the Year, while Fresno State guard Paul Watson received Freshman of the Year.

Thames was also selected to the First-Team All-Mountain West along with UNM forward Cameron Bairstow, Nevada guard Devonte Burton, UNM guard Kendall Williams and Wyoming forward Larry Nance Jr. Williams and Lobo center Alex Kirk were both named to the All-Defensive Team.

Besides Schlott being honored as MW Player of the Year for the women, Colorado State head coach Ryun Williams was selected as Coach of the Year, while Fresno State senior Taylor Thompson and Nevada guard Mimi Mungedi received Co-Defensive player of the Year honors.

The Rams’ Caitlin Duffy earned Sixth Player of the Year, and Boise State’s Yaiza Rodriguez and CSU’s Ellen Nystrom were selected as CoFreshmen of the Year. The Broncos’ Deanna Weaver took home Newcomer of the Year.

The First-Team All-Mountain West included Schlott, Weaver, Thompson, SDSU center Cierra Warren and Wyoming forward Kalya Woodward.

UNM’s Brown was the only Lobo to receive a postseason accolade by earning a place on the Honorable Mention team.

received by Athletics has more than doubled since fiscal year 2012. That year, Athletics received $1.8 million in student fees. In fiscal year 2013, the department received $3 million.

Last month, the Student Fee Review Board approved Athletics’ student fee allocation request for another $4 million for fiscal year 2015.

According to the document, ticket sales made up the biggest portion of the department’s revenue stream, earning Athletics about $7.1 million.

Total revenue is estimated at $30.4 million.

Krebs said men’s and women’s basketball ticket sales made up the majority of the total sales at $5 million. Football ticket sales accounted for about $2 million.

“You can see that a great turnout of our students is very supportive and very vibrant,” he said. “We’re getting students to go to the actual games.

Our students do not pay for any athletic events.”

The Independent Student Voice of UNM since 1895

opinion@dailylobo.com

Dr. Peg’s Prescription Though the cons don’t outweigh the pros, cell phone use is best limited If you own a cell phone, like 91 percent of all American adults, I don’t have to convince you of the benefits. Especially if you own a smart phone, you know how much easier it can make your life. In fact, calling it a phone is like calling Handel’s Messiah a song. We use our pocket pals for calling, texting, emailing, getting directions, accessing the internet, listening to music, playing games, watching videos, app’ing apps.

You name it, the newer gadgets can do it better.

It is not all good, however. Cell phones can be dangerous, physically, mentally and socially.

I’ll discuss them in that order.

Cell phones emit a form of radiation called radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can be categorized into two types: ionizing (e.g., x-rays, radon and cosmic rays) and non-ionizing (e.g., radiofrequency and extremely low-frequency).

Exposure to ionizing radiation is known to increase the risk of cancer. The data on nonionizing radiation is still accumulating, but it is enough to raise a warning flag.

In 2011, the World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as Group 2B, which means “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” This is based on studies suggesting an increased risk of glioma, a very nasty kind of brain cancer.

Dr. Jonathan Samet, overall Chairman of the Working Group for the IARC, stated that “the evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion and the 2B classification. The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk.”

The one thing radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation is known to do for sure is to cause heat. One study showed an elevated brain temperature in people who made long phone calls, on the side of the brain where they held their phone. The long term effect of baked brain bits is not yet known.

A study published last year in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery linked cell phone radiation to decreased bone density in the pelvis, and

a 2008 study conducted by the Cleveland Clinic found that it lowers fertility in men.

As you can see, the evidence of direct harm is trickling in. In 2010, a large prospective cohort study of cell phone use and its possible longterm health effects was launched in Europe.

This study, known as COSMOS, has enrolled approximately 290,000 cell phone users aged 18 years or older and will follow them for 20 to 30 years. Participants will complete a questionnaire about their health, lifestyle and current and past cell phone use. This information will be supplemented with information from health records and cell phone records.

Until we know for sure, I recommend that you minimize close contact between your phone and your head. Not to mention your gonads. It is better off in your backpack or purse than on your person. Also, as you probably know, talking or texting while driving is now against the law in New Mexico, but if you decide to do it anyway, know that there is a surge in radiation when your phone makes a transition from one cell tower to the next as you travel, and that earpieces emit radiation even when the call is over.

More harmful than direct contact is danger from distraction, especially for drivers. This is where our recent law came from. Driving distractions can be visual (taking your eyes off the road), manual (taking your hands off the wheel) or cognitive (taking your mind off driving). Using a cell phone does all three.

The CDC did a study in 2011 analyzing distracted driving and the use of cell phones in the U.S. and other countries. They found that 69 percent of drivers in the United States ages 1864 reported that they had talked on their cell phone while driving within the 30 days before they were surveyed. In Europe, this percentage ranged from 21 percent in the United Kingdom to 59 percent in Portugal.

31 percent of U.S. drivers ages 18-64 reported that they had read or sent text messages or email messages while driving at least once within the 30 days before they were surveyed. In Europe, this percentage ranged from 15 percent in Spain to 31 percent in Portugal.

The Pew Research Center reports that each

day in the United States, more than 9 people are killed and more than 1,060 people are injured in crashes that are reported to involve a distracted driver. The National Safety Council estimates at least 28 percent of all traffic crashes – or at least 1.6 million crashes each year – involve drivers talking or texting on cell phones.

Numbers can be impressive but statistics can also numb the brain, so think about it this way.

Do you want someone’s death on your conscience because you couldn’t keep your hands (and eyes and mind) off your phone? If the new $25 fine doesn’t deter you, maybe that will.

Protect your own safety too. Please don’t use the phone when you drive, or when you walk, bike or ride your skateboard. Someone was killed just this past week when she walked out into traffic while texting, not far from campus.

Don’t let it be you next.

The second category of harm I mentioned is mental. The rest of this article is just my opinion, but this is the opinion page after all. My smart phone is smarter than I am by a long shot, and the more I rely on it, the dumber I feel. Who needs to think when your device will do it for you? Why try to remember something when you can just look it up?

I’m sure you have heard the admonition, “Use it or lose it.”

While I am not a fan of memorizing useless facts, I do think there is a chance that the sharper edges of our minds will become dulled from disuse. Is there an International Agency for Research on Dumbing Down? There oughtta be.

Try thinking first.

Finally, I mentioned social harm. We have all seen or been in a group of people all bent over their device, oblivious to others. And sometimes it is more comfortable to just text someone rather than risk talking to them face to face. Are we in danger of losing our social skills and ability to really converse and connect with others?

I went to lunch with some friends recently.

Everyone put their phones in a basket in the middle of the table, with the admonition that whoever touched their phone before the meal was over had to pay for everyone else’s lunch.

We had a wonderful uninterrupted conversa-

tion. I thought it was a brilliant idea.

What about truly experiencing life as it happens? When we have a quiet moment, do we check Facebook or play Candy Crush instead of enjoying the sun on our face or exchanging a smile? Do we miss opportunities because we aren’t paying attention? Are we so busy plugging in that we check out?

All technological advances have pros and cons. Cell phones are no different. Use yours with discretion, put it away when it could cause danger and once in a while try turning it off and smelling the roses.

Oppression. Islam. Terrorism.

For many Americans, these words are the only things they know about Arab culture.

Countries such as Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have received a lot of negative attention in the United States since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

In light of these negative stereotypes, members of various Arab student organizations united last week in Ortega Hall to celebrate the positive aspects of the culture.

Ahmed Al Shlowiy, president of the Saudi student club and a PhD candidate in educational linguistics, dressed in traditional Saudi attire to show his support for the occasion.

Incorporating Arab food, attire and presentations, the event’s organizers wanted to make a place to openly discuss customs, behaviors and stereotypes, he said.

“We are human beings. We are not what the media told them about us,” he said.

Al Shlowiy said after coming from Saudi Arabia, he realized that media in his native country played a role in how he thought of Americans, who are villainized in movies and newspapers there.

“American people are very nice; American people are very friendly,” he said. “They liked to help us a lot when we arrived here. Wherever we go they help us achieve our goals.”

Sergio Jiménez / @SXfoto / Daily Lobo Phil Young, a former Disney animator, speaks to moviegoers before the presentation of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” in the SUB theater Friday evening. Young worked on the animation teams of films such as “The Fox and The Hound,” “The Lion King” and “The Little Mermaid.”

by Tomas Lujan

culture@dailylobo.com @TomasVLujan The magic of Disney left its mark on students and staff when former Disney animator Phil Young regaled his audience with stories about the legendary company.

Young, who worked on the animation teams of films including “The Fox and The Hound,” “The Lion King” and “The Little Mermaid,” spoke in the SUB ballroom on Friday about his memorable times as a proud member of the Disney animation team.

“I had a good time for about 25 years,” Young said. “When you have a room full of artists, there is always something interesting going on.”

Hired in 1977 as an “inbetweener-trainee,” his first screen credit as an animator was with “The Fox and the Hound.” Luckily for him, he said, when he was just starting out, various big names in the business such as Tom Byrd, Jim Selleck and Tim Burton were just starting out as well.

Despite this, he said, at the time, Disney animated films seemed to be in decline. Massive cutbacks at the end of the first golden age of animation would see more than 500 animators laid off, he said.

It wasn’t until “The Little Mermaid” brought Disney

animated films into recovery that things started to change.

“Once ‘Mermaid’ was released, the journalistic and public acclaim said ‘Disney’s back,’” Young said. “It was a quality piece that had that emotional attachment that the audience had to have and that Disney was known for until that time.

Victoria Velarde, a junior strategic coordination major and member of the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico who was partially responsible for reaching out to Phil Young, said ASUNM thought it might be fun to add some ‘90s nostalgia to the spring semester lineup with a Disney movie.

The Southwest Film Center, one of the eight branches of ASUNM, asked its Facebook fans which Disney movie they would like to see on the big screen again. They selected “The Little Mermaid,” which also just had its 25th anniversary.

“Someone mentioned Phil Young in the comments and that he lives here in Albuquerque … so we Googled him,” Velarde said.

“Lucky for us, Phil was gracious and sweet about the whole thing.”

Audience members such as Jeannette Arroyo, a senior interdisciplinary film and digital media major, were inspired by the presentation. Arroyo, who hopes to pursue a career in animation, said Disney movies have inspired her desire to be creative. She said she was excited to hear from

someone who had worked on some of her childhood favorites.

“They made me want to draw since I was little,” she said. “Ever since, art has been a major hobby.”

Young said he remains passionate about the time he spent at Disney, but has since moved on to explore other facets of his artwork and design.

“The Fox and The Hound” is his favorite credit because, in those days, film credits ran at the beginning and scrolled slow enough to read the names, Young said.

“My big rush was being able to animate part of the big grizzly bear fight at the end of “The Fox and The Hound,” where Todd and the bear are going at it and they go tumbling down the waterfall,” said Young.

He is most proud, though, of working on “The Lion King.” He said his work on Mufasa challenged him as an artist, because he had to create scenes combining traditional animation and the emerging digital format.

“I was really proud of Mufasa; I got to animate him along with Simba in some of those fatherson scenes,” he said. “The first work I got for that film was to work out the scene that Mufasa gets killed in the wildebeest stampede.”

Young said he now teaches animation classes at the Southwest University of Digital Arts and paints in his spare time.
