Greeks organize cancer fundraiser

By David Lynch UNM’s chapter of Sigma Chi is hosting Derby Days, the fraternity’s largest philanthropic event, for the first time since the fall of 2012 this week in an effort to raise money for cancer research while providing friendly competition between sororities.

According to the Derby Days Facebook page, there are events held by Sigma Chi every day for the rest of the week.

Sigma Chi brother Jett Metcalf, a senior history and strategic communications double major, said the ultimate goal of Derby Days on a national scale is giving back to the community, primarily through supporting an established foundation by Sigma Chi. “We are hoping to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, which is a cancer research institute based out of Salt Lake City,” he said.

According to the document “Conducting a Successful Derby Days” found on sigmachi. org, Derby Days works to “promote brotherhood, the spirit of community service, and a positive Greek image.”

Although some of the week’s events are exclusive, friendly contests between UNM sororities, all students have a chance to donate at a free dance event Thursday at Imbibe from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Students were also invited to eat at Texas Roadhouse on Tuesday, from which 10 percent of profits went to Huntsman.

Metcalf said the majority of the money comes from this year’s sponsors, which include American Campus Communities, the

Communications professor Tema Milstein works with ecocultural communication students on community projects for university coursework.

Milstein has received the Presidential Teaching Fellowship award.

By Matthew Reisen Tema Milstein, an associate professor of communication, was awarded the Presidential Teaching Fellowship earlier this month. It is the highest honor for faculty on campus.

The Presidential Teaching Fellowship “promotes excellence in teaching by establishing a core group of faculty who are given the highest recognition for their effective teaching,” according to UNM’s Center for Teaching Excellence website.

The award, given each year, carries a responsibility for ensuring teaching excellence by sharing their expertise with the UNM community. Nominations for the award are made by colleagues, students or alumni. Each fellow serves for a term of two years.

Milstein said she feels fortunate to receive the award.

“I’m just very honored and also hopeful, because my teaching is not conventional. I’m very focused on turning the conventional classroom inside out. So

knowing that our university is not just supportive of that but is celebrating that makes me feel both fortunate and hopeful.”

As a fellow, Milstein said she is given the exciting opportunity to give back.

Milstein said she plans to give back to the UNM community by mentoring and leading workshops on changing the structure of the classroom.

“It’s about connecting inner and

While zinc is a vital part of the human immune system, some researchers at UNM are delving a little deeper to understand just how it works.

Zinc finger proteins play a major role in the day-to-day life of and are an important part of the human proteome, the entire set of proteins that can be present in the human body. They also repair DNA that has been damaged by carcinogens such as UV radiation or arsenic.

Researchers are trying to predict the effects of arsenic on zinc finger proteins by utilizing approaches from physics, biology and computer science. Their work has been extensively funded by the National Institutes of Health and takes place at the Center for Advanced Research Computing.

While 3 to 10 percent of the proteome is made up of zinc fingers, not all of them have been discovered. Project supervisor Susan Atlas and her team are studying 22 zinc fingers out of a larger list of 71 that they came up with using a bioinformatics pattern-recognition program, she said.

Bioinformatics is the branch of biology that uses computer programming to study fields like genetics.

When people are exposed to high levels of arsenic, it replaces the zinc in their zinc finger proteins and causes them to stop functioning, Atlas said. This creates health problems.

“They go in and make instant

repairs to DNA. When insulted, there can be a screw-up in transcription and the wrong protein can be made,” Atlas said. “They are the nurses and doctors, and if they are inhibited they can’t do their job and you can get very sick.”

While arsenic is not a big problem in the United States, it is in developing countries where it is more prevalent in the drinking water.

One of the things the research is working toward is creating an addition to chemotherapy that would temporarily suppress zinc fingers and allow the chemo to finish its work.

“If you want to treat people, you need to understand how they get sick …”

Susan Atlas project supervisor “One of the reasons why I’m interested in this is there’s a contradictory idea,” Atlas said.

“When people have cancer already, they get chemotherapy and that destroys fast growing cells in addition to cancer cells.

Between the week’s events, whether they are social or more competitive, Metcalf said he wants Sigma Chi members to get enthusiastic about Derby Days and the overarching reason it is held.

“I just hope the members will get very excited about our cause and (that it becomes) a more regular event on campus,” he said.

Metcalf said the last Derby Days event in 2012 raised about $2,000 and that the fraternity plans on holding another Derby Days this fall in an effort to make it more consistent.

The event is a mainstay for Sigma Chi chapters across the country ever since its inaugural event at UC Berkeley in 1916, he said. The event usually benefits local causes or the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.

Moises Ibarra, a junior political science major who is also a Sigma Chi brother, said he wants Derby Days to help cleanse Greek life of the negative stigma that is sometimes associated with it.

“I think sometimes people forget all the positive things that Greek life can do for a community,” Ibarra said. “Although this week is going to be stressful for the chapter, I just hope we can show how great Greek life can be.”

and the zinc fingers try to repair the fast growing cells and the cells the chemo has destroyed.”

Laurie Hudson, a collaborator on the project, said she measures the extent to which arsenic displaces zinc in particular zinc finger proteins. In some types of proteins the zinc is strongly replaced, while in others it barely is.

Meanwhile, Atlas and her team are building a model of the probable outcomes of Hudson’s experiments.

If the model turns out to be a good predictor of what actually occurs, it means that they will be able to accurately predict the amount of displacement for every kind of zinc finger protein.

“If you want to treat people, you need to understand how they get sick … No one has ever predicted how much arsenic affects particular zinc fingers before,” Atlas said.

Results from this project should be available by the end of the summer if not before, Atlas said.

Qufei Gu, a physics doctoral student, said the project combines the components of many disciplines, an approach that is becoming more common and important in academic work.

“One of the elements of such a diverse project is it fosters a greater diversity of thinking about the problem and brings many different ideas together to solve

complex problems,” he said. “For UNM it helps to foster diverse research. Some of the techniques we are developing right now for predicting the quantitative probabilities we hope will help future academics as well.”

Daniel Felker, a postbaccalaureate researcher, is also working on the project. Other students who have worked on the project are Daniel Chee, currently a doctoral student at the University of Washington, and Sam Smith, a master’s student in the public health program.

With legalization possible, pot growers become lobbyists Advocates support regulatory legislation that would legitimize their businesses

By Lisa Leff SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California’s marijuana farmers have existed in a legal gray area during the 18 years since the state became the first to allow residents to use the drug for medical purposes.

Now, veteran cannabis growers are emerging from the shadows to make their voices heard at the Capitol as the groundwork is being laid to legalize pot for recreational use in the state.

Marijuana producers from Northern California’s infamous Emerald Triangle are hiring veteran lobbyists, forming political action committees and taking

elected officials on fact-finding tours — even though large-scale pot farms remain illegal under federal law and growers risk being raided and prosecuted.

The growers’ coalition says it’s worth the risk to ensure their interests are represented as lawmakers, and ultimately voters, consider regulations that could allow them to do business aboveboard.

“This is democracy in action,” said Casey O’Neill, who grows flowers, vegetables and marijuana in Mendocino County and serves as secretary of the 750-member Emerald Growers Association.

“Every other industry sends lobbyists to tell government how to think, so finally as an industry we

are realizing if this is how it works in America, we are going to have to play ball.”

Their first at-bat is a Wednesday hearing for a bill that would require medical marijuana growers to obtain permits and subject them to environmental inspections. The association is bringing members to Sacramento for advocacy training and to support the legislation with visits to legislators’ offices and T-shirts reading, “I am a farmer.”

The author of the bill is Assemblyman Jim Wood, a Democrat whose sprawling, 300-mile-long district encompasses the prime, sun-grown marijuana territory of Mendocino, Humboldt

and Trinity counties. Wood said he doesn’t know how his constituents will be received, but he hopes his colleagues will keep open minds.

“It’s one of those things that here in Sacramento, when you start talking about it, some people, if you don’t live in the world where this comes from, they are uncomfortable,” Wood said.

To prepare for the hearing of the Assembly Agriculture Committee, nine members of the growers’ association put on slacks and dresses for a meeting in their lobbyist’s 25th-floor office within blocks of the Capitol to plot strategy and messaging.

They decided to highlight their community as consisting

largely of responsible farmers who are good environmentalists and employers but have been forced to operate as outlaws and unfairly lumped in with unscrupulous drug gangs that steal water for illegal pot grows on public lands.

“The more consistent we can be in reminding people that unregulated agriculture is the problem and for all of the problems the solution is regulation, the better off we’ll be,” said Emerald Growers Association Executive Director Hezekiah Allen, a thirdgeneration pot farmer.

often works with individuals she refers to as “community teachers,” such as farmers or other people working on eco-social aspects in and around the community.

“We learn through being with people who have deep wisdom.

Deep wisdom of place, deep wisdom of areas of our community that you’re not generally exposed to if you stay on campus,” she said.

Recently, Ringer took Milstein’s seminar in eco-cultural communication. On one overnight field study in Northern New Mexico, they navigated Chimayo, Taos, Taos Pueblo, the Earthships, Ojo Caliente and even a cave dug by cave digger Ra Paulette.

“(Milstein) guided our class through understanding and making connections between theories and concepts learned in the classroom to everyday eco-cultural lives of Northern New Mexicans,” Ringer said. “All while discussing, reflecting and pushing our intellectual understandings forward.”

Ringer finds Milstein’s approach refreshing and useful, she said. Milstein is always trying to help students think unconventionally about the world around us.

Milstein has worked for numerous publications during her career and got her start in reporting at the Daily Lobo, she

said. She served as staff reporter and the “Arts & Features” editor until she graduated from UNM in 1992. She also won the reporter of the year award that year.

“I love the Lobo. I think of it as my undergrad education, working at the Lobo,” Milstein said. “Another thing that’s great about the Lobo is it puts you in that place of capability and responsibility that I think most other things don’t. I think it’s just awesome.”

In addition to the prestigious fellowship award, Milstein received the pre-tenure Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award at UNM. She got her doctorate in Seattle and has been a

professor at UNM for eight years.

As a communications student, Ringer said Milstein’s instruction was instrumental in her own development as a scholar and that Milstein is a true asset to the communication department.

“Her reputation precedes her and is deserved. I am proud of her accomplishments,” Ringer said. “Our campus community will greatly benefit from her leadership and vision.”

outer relevance, helping students understand that their interests, concerns and passions are all very relevant to their learning,” she said.

Ailesha Ringer, a doctoral student and an instructor, said it came as no surprise Milstein won the Teaching Fellow award. “(Milstein’s) teaching style is authentic, refreshingly unconventional and practice-based,” Ringer said. “(She) finds the time, patience and sincerity to listen to students and help facilitate their growth as scholars and beings.”

Milstein said during her courses she takes students on a lot of field studies. In these endeavors Milstein

Dr. Peg’s Prescription

Emergency contraception: more than a pill

By Dr. Peggy Spencer

An open letter to women who have sex with men: Have you ever had a pregnancy scare? The condom broke in the middle of the action, or you were too swept away (or drunk) to even think about protection? Or you forgot to take your pill? If you aren’t ready to be a parent the rest of your life, or to face decisions about termination or adoption, a pregnancy scare can be terrifying.

The good news is it may not be too late.

Back in the day, we had the morning-after pill, so named for pretty obvious reasons. Now the technical term is emergency contraception, and it isn’t just a pill. There are several options.

First, let me say that you are far better off preventing pregnancy in the first place. Regular use of contraception is much more effective than emergency contraception. Please do not rely on EC as a birth-control method. This information is for that hopefully rare slip-up.

Pregnancy happens when sperm meets egg.

This only happens if egg is available, i.e. around ovulation. Ovulation, the releasing of the egg from the ovary, happens about midway between menstrual periods. Pregnancy rates are highest when sex happens one or two days before ovulation. Specifically, pregnancy rates are 15 percent three days before, 30 percent one or two days before, 12 percent on the day of ovulation and near 0 percent after that.

Pregnancy is fertilization of the egg and implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus lining.

What follows is a brief review of the different types of emergency contraception, how they work and how good they are.

Estrogen and progesterone pills Regular birth control pills contain both of these hormones, and it is possible to use regular birth control pills as emergency contraception. You basically take several at a time within a few days after the accident.

This method, called the Yuzpe regimen, has gone out of favor for a number of reasons.

How many pills to take varies depending on which regular birth control pill you are on, and the side effects of taking a lot of estrogen at once are nasty. Oodles of vomiting. I don’t recommend this.

Progesterone pills You may have heard of Plan B. This, along with Take Action, Next Choice One Dose, AfterPill and My Way, are brand names for emergency contraceptives that are made of levonorgestrel, which is a kind of progesterone. When taken before ovulation, progesterone delays ovulation.

This way, by the time the egg drops, the sperm have died, so no pregnancy. This is best used within 72 hours of unprotected sex, the sooner the better. You can get this

one without a prescription. Just ask your friendly pharmacist.

Ulipristal, brand name Ella This is what is called a progesterone agonist/ antagonist. It is stronger and more effective than the progesterone pills. It delays ovulation and also thins the endometrium, or the lining of the uterus, making implantation of the fertilized egg more difficult. This one can be taken up to five days after unprotected sex but again, the sooner the better. You do need a prescription for this one. When you call for an appointment, make sure you tell the clinic what the appointment is for so you get in right away.

IUD That’s right. You probably think of an IUD as a prevention method and it is, but it is also the most effective form of emergency contraception, up to 99 percent, compared to 50 percent for Plan B and 66 percent for Ella. It can be inserted up to five days after the accident. The IUD works by altering sperm motility, preventing them from getting to the egg. It may also interfere with implantation.

The nice thing about this is that you now have a very effective birth control method that is good for up to ten years. Of course this is not a do-ityourself method, since it goes inside the uterus.

You need to see a medical provider. We can do this for you at SHAC. Call 277-3136. Again, let us know why you are calling.

Most women tolerate EC pills quite well, with minimal side effects, but possible side effects include nausea, headaches, dizziness, abdominal pain, fatigue and change in your period quality or timing. You shouldn’t take EC pills if you are taking certain other medications. Ask the pharmacist or doctor. Also, if you are a plus-sized woman with a body mass index greater than 30, EC pills don’t work as well as they do for BMI under 30. If you use EC pills, you can start regular birth control pills afterward if you want.

Plan B costs $35 at SHAC. Ella costs $55 without insurance, and some companies cover it. The IUD costs $574 for the device alone, but since the Affordable Care Act became law, insurance is supposed to cover this as well.

With all methods, you should get a period within three weeks of using EC. If you don’t, you need to check for pregnancy.

In summary, please practice contraception on a regular basis. If you have a lapse, get to the clinic or pharmacy as soon as possible for a pill or an IUD. Thanks to SHAC Women’s Health Clinic for the info for this article and for all you do for UNM women.

for his efforts that season.

In the regular-season finale against Wyoming last year, Wiggins demonstrated his kickoff return skills with 97-yard kickoff return for a score that sealed the game for UNM. “I feel very dynamic. That’s my baby. My first love when I came here,” he said. “Kick return is just my second nature, and I love it.”

Wiggins might be adding punt return to his repertoire of skills this upcoming season. He and several other players are candidates to take over punt return duties.

UNM averaged just 5.07 yards per punt return last season, ranking 107th in the nation. Wiggins has never returned a punt in his career.

“He’ll be returning kickoffs for sure, and he’s in the running to return punts for sure,” Davie said.

“Carlos was back there and he did a good job with is opportunities. He’s definitely in the mix to be our punt returner as well.”

Thomas Romero-Salas is the sports editor for the Daily Lobo. He can be reached at sports@dailylobo.com or on Twitter @ThomasRomeroS.

www.dailylobo.com

The importance of running track and field became clear to Carlos Wiggins after last year.

The New Mexico wide receiver combined to run only two races last indoor and outdoor track season and paid for it during football. In 2014, Wiggins missed several games because of a thigh bruise and hamstring issues. Wiggins finished with just 24 touches on the season.

This year, Wiggins competed in most of the indoor and track and field events, which he said helps him prepare for the long and grueling football season.

“It helps me stay healthy. Last year I didn’t run track, which I made a mistake not running track,” he said. “I got tight during games, and I started getting more hurt. This year I’ve been running track and helping me stay loose, so track has been good for me.”

Wiggins has not only put more of an emphasis in track but has also made a switch on the football field. The senior has made the transition from slot receiver to

outside receiver this spring.

Over his three-year career, Wiggins has caught just 24 balls for 327 yards and three touchdowns.

“Using Carlos outside at the wide receiver position really helps him because he’s so sudden off the ball and he gets down field,” head coach Bob Davie said. “He’ll play a little bit of slot, but it looks like going in, he’s going to be a guy outside that can do something for us.”

Wiggins will still line up in the slot from time to time for a jet sweep or a misdirection play. He said the switch from inside to outside receiver isn’t that big of a change.

“It’s not too big of an adjustment.

It’s almost less complicated,” Wiggins said. “Inside you got more people to worry about; outside it’s just me and the corner to worry about. It leaves me outside more one-on-one with more opportunities.”

Another way UNM will look to give Wiggins more chances with the football is with kick returns. Wiggins led the nation with 1,303 kick return and yards and three touchdowns in 2013. He was also named Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year

Lobos leave Antelopes in the blowing dust

By Liam Cary-Eaves

New Mexico used the fierce winds Tuesday night to blow past Grand Canyon University 7-3 at Lobo Field.

Not normally known for its power in the lineup, the Lobos connected on two pitches early in the contest to put pressure on GCU. New Mexico never looked back after jumping to a 7-0 lead against the Antelopes.

UNM’s designated hitter Cory Voss hit a homer on a 3-2 count, which head coach Ray Birmingham called simply a reaction swing.

However, Voss mustered enough pop behind the ball, which was escorted by the wind over the right center field wall in the second inning.

Birmingham said Carl Stajduhar’s three-run homer in the third inning was no fluke and did not need the assistance of the gusty night.

“Stajduhar’s (homer) was legit,” Birmingham said. “That was a rocket.

It got out of here in a hurry.”

After Stajduhar’s blast, the Lobos tacked on one more run in the fourth before ending their scoring affairs.

“I think we were just going up there and seeing the ball and hitting the ball,” Stajduhar said. “We were just up there trusting all of our training and trying to make something happen early to give our pitchers some run support.”

Birmingham said he has been working with a lot of his players’ offensive approaches in order to get

his hitters to dial down at the plate.

He said a lot of his players have been trying to do too much with the bat, causing them to spin off the ball for easy outs.

Although the Lobos (20-15, 11-7 Mountain West) had some success early in the game, Grand Canyon could not take advantage

of the howling Albuquerque winds.

UNM’s starting left-handed pitcher sophomore Carson Schneider threw five shutout innings, allowing five hits and striking out three Antelopes before his exit.

“I was just trying to work down in the zone, throw a lot of strikes and get ground balls,” Schneider said. “I did

a pretty good job at it, which is why I was so successful.”

Schneider went right after the GCU lineup, not allowing a single walk and throwing 40 of his 52 pitches over the plate for strikes.

The Antelopes did finally garner a three-spot in the top of the seventh inning against lefty reliever

Alex Estrella. Estrella gave up six consecutive base-hits against GCU (21-15) and would depart later in the seventh inning. He worked 1.2 innings and allowed three runs and seven hits on 31 pitches.

Jake Cole came out at the end of the game to collect his fourth save on the season. UNM’s closer was able to throw 2.1 shutout innings after coming in during a tight spot with runners on second and third.

“He’s the strong bond we still have that we can count on,” Birmingham said.

Cole improved his ERA to 2.42 on the season, while the hard-throwing right hander added five more strikeouts to his totals and committing the only walk by the UNM pitching staff.

As a whole, UNM’s pitching held up against the Antelope lineup. GCU was only able to account for three runs on 14 total hits on the night.

UNM made the most of their on-base attempts scoring its seven runs on just eight hits.

“That’s a really good win against a really good team,” Birmingham said.

“I’m glad we could get it.”

UNM will continue its two-game middle-of-the-week series against the out-of-conference Antelopes today at 3 p.m. at Lobo Field.

Los Angeles Times Daily Crossword Puzzle

dailycrosswordEdited by Rich Norris and Joyce Lewis

This and That (Level 3)

By Eddie Wyckoff

White to move and mate in 3: Offer your queen on a square that rhymes with “she ate”to solve this forced mate in 3, which is just an all-around chess problem. Another word of advice: remember Monday’s column -- some pawns don’t want to be queens. Solution to yesterday’s problem: the game continued 62. ... f4! 63.gxf4+ Kf5, and if White goes right, 64.Ke3, Black goes left, 64.... Kg4. Similarly, if White goes left, 64.Kg3, Black goes right 64. ... Ke4. Black forces the White king off and queens one of his pawns.
