Heinrich: No more ‘too big to fail’

by Ruben Hamming-Green Daily Lobo

U.S. House Rep. Martin Heinrich hosted a “telephone town hall” discussion June 30, where he discussed the benefits of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to more than 3,000 callers.

Heinrich, the First district’s Democratic representative, said the bill, which passed through the House by a 237-192 vote, will help create and keep jobs, and in turn help New Mexico. “(The bill) means that a small business owner in the district, in a place like Moriarty or Belen, will still have access to the capital they need to keep their small business running,” Heinrich said. “That’s going to mean, in our neighborhoods, fewer boarded-up houses.”

Heinrich encouraged constituents with mortgage or credit card problems, in situations where the consumer has been taken advantage of, to contact his office for information and help during the town hall.

The bill is designed to anticipate future economic disasters and prevent the circumstances that led to the market downturn in 2008 and 8 million job losses, Heinrich said. It

will discourage companies from becoming “too big to fail,” create an organization that will analyze risks to the economy and grant the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation the power to liquidate failing companies and sell the assets, he said.

“It ends the situation where you have these financial institutions, these Wall Street banks, so intertwined that if one goes down it takes otherwise healthy institutions down with it,” Heinrich said. “It’s much harder for an institution to get into that risky category in the first place — where it couldn’t fail.”

UNM Professor Erik Gerding, whose teaching focus is the subprime mortgage crisis, has a less optimistic take on the legislation.

“It addresses the ‘too big to fail’ problem only weakly and obliquely,” Gerding said. “Even a good statute and good regulations can be undermined if other countries have loose regulations.”

In the House vote, only three Republicans voted for the bill. Republican lawmakers say the bill grants too much power to the government and stifles the free market.

“If this bill becomes law, bailouts and ‘too big to fail’ will

PHARMACY FRAUD

Armed med student suspected of dealing oxycodone

by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo

UNM pharmacy student Paul DeSantis faces up to 20 years in jail after being charged with possession with intent to distribute oxycodone and possession of firearms.

Steven Peterson, UNM School of Pharmacy professor and assistant dean of Professional Curriculum, said no one noticed strange behavior from DeSantis during his time at the school.

“He was a smart kid, highly motivated and from a good, goal-oriented family. His dad was an alum from late 60s,”

he said. “Everything was just fine.

He was a good student and worked hard.”

A court complaint filed by U.S. Attorney Kenneth Gonzales cites a “cooperating source” as the informant of the case.

“DeSantis had stolen a ream of secure prescription paper and had a printer that would print forged prescriptions that were identical to authentic ones,” court documents quoted the source as saying. “DeSantis carried an H&K semi auto pistol in a Louis Vuitton male purse while

conducting his drug transactions and refers to his firearm as a ‘cop killer.’”

According to court records, DeSantis contacted the source June 23 and requested that he fill a fraudulent prescription.

“Surveillance units saw DeSantis leave his house carrying a light shade of blue piece of paper, which was identical to the stolen secure prescription paper and a brown purse,” the report reads.

Agents observed trips to two Walgreens to fill the prescription, because the first Walgreens did not have adequate supply of oxycodone, Gonzales said.

Popejoy student ticket shortage takes ‘Wicked’ turn

by Alexandra Swanberg Daily Lobo

Ticket sales have spiked as students plan ahead for the arrival of “Wicked,” leaving Popejoy unable to meet the demand for half-priced student tickets, which are no longer available.

The Student Fee Review Board, a student advisory body that recommends allocation of student fees, cut the funding for discounted tickets

DL

$3,000 this spring. The cutback, in conjunction with regular sales that have reached more than $90,000, resulted in the ticket shortage.

GPSA President Lissa Knudsen, also the SFRB chair, said the board decided to cut Popejoy’s funding because it wanted to prioritize programs more closely related to the University’s academic mission.

“It’s in relation to other programs that are meeting essential needs that it’s a low priority,”

4-year-old fury

Knudsen said.

Popejoy’s director Tom Tkach said student demand has never failed to exceed funding, something he feels is evidence of sufficient student preference.

The SFRB was concerned with the number of students who benefit from this discount as well as the extent of the benefits in relation to more academic programs, Knudsen said.

“Twenty-five dollars is still a lot

DL

of money for a luxury item to go to a play,” Knudsen said. “As important as it is for your soul, mind and personal growth, it is not an immediate need.”

Knudsen said the SFRB explored more advantageous uses for the funds, such as the LGBTQ resource center, which she said would have a greater impact on a student’s ability to graduate. The board maintained funding for programs like CAPS and the libraries.

The Board of Regents received these recommendations, cutting funds accordingly. However, it imposed a $10 increase for Athletics on top of the recommended decrease, effectively raising the allocation by $8 per student.

Considering funds come from mandatory fees, students will have the opportunity to influence next year’s distribution at the SFRB’s open meeting in the spring semester.

“Police met him at his house, turned on their lights and attempted to block him while he was still in his car,” he said. “He backed up and attempted to flee but was stopped and arrested without further incident.”

In DeSantis’ residence, agents said they found drug ledgers, stolen prescriptions from UNMH and an AR-15 firearm with a loaded cartridge.

Jason Bowles, DeSantis’ lawyer, said his client did not attempt to flee the scene.

“Mr. DeSantis’ vehicle was stopped at a stop sign in front of his house when the officers in unmarked cars attempted to move in and prevent Mr. DeSantis from moving forward,” he said.

“The cars had lights on but nothing to indicate they were police vehicles. Mr. DeSantis has no criminal history and moved forward between two cars but

Health Award

did not accelerate as if trying to flee. In fact, they were right at his house.”

Bowles said his client immediately stopped when a DEA agent ran out and knocked on his window, and the weapon possession charges are irrelevant to his case.

“He had just purchased the handgun approximately three weeks prior and it had never been fired. He had planned to go to Calibers later that day to practice firing it,” he said. “The agent had no information that either the handgun or rifle were illegally possessed. In fact, they were both purchased legally.”

Many of the facts presented to the court are insubstantial, Bowles said, and DeSantis’ ability to continue his business would be very difficult, since he is no longer employed at UNMH. “Much of the government’s presen-

tation at the hearing below was based upon hearsay statements of a confidential informant who did not testify and was not subject to cross examination,” Bowles said. “The facts stated by the government may or may not pan out at a trial.”

UNM Pharmacy professors make an effort to stress the dangers that accompany the profession, Peterson said.

He said faculty are always disappointed when a student is accused of ignoring their warnings.

“We teach them what the laws are, what the ethics are. We certainly teach them how alluring drugs can be and let them know early and often that (drugs) are huge risks in working in this field,” he said. “Thankfully this sort of thing is rare, but I am always surprised when it does happen.”

Paul Roth, HSC executive vice president, said the award will translate to better health for New Mexicans.

“The ultimate outcome isn’t so much what would serve our universities,” he said. “The outcome is what’s going to better improve the quality of life for the residents of our state.”

Newman said he sees more room for the research to help community health in New Mexico.

“I think there’s the entirety of the

whole state of New Mexico. It’s a well-known fact that we have some serious problems here,” Newman said.

Udall said the CTSA will give opportunities to chronically underserved communities to identify their own health challenges, resulting in research that will directly address local needs.

“UNM HSC has been a leader for their innovation and approach to the challenges that exist in rural and medically underserved areas,” Udall said. “As UNMH is already a designated federal minority-serving institution, the award will help further address the gaps in health care that exist within Native and Hispanic communities.”

“The environment will be specifically designed to foster discovery and implement medical breakthroughs with collaboration on all levels,” Udall said.

Teen murder suspect recants confession

by Ed White

The Associated Press DETROIT — Davontae Sanford was just 14 when he told police he killed four people in a drug den, drawing their bodies like stick figures to show where the victims died — on the floor, a couch, a chair.

Sanford was sentenced to at least 38 years in prison for the 2007 slayings, which police say were planned as a robbery.

But now he insists his confession was a lie. A veteran homicide investigator agrees that the young man’s statements were unreliable.

And his attorney is seeking help from an unlikely ally: A hit man convicted in no fewer than eight other murders.

“It’s our hope that he will testify for us,” defense attorney Kim McGinnis said of Vincent Smothers, who has told police he took part in the slayings.

For more than a year, a judge has been hearing testimony on the teen’s request to take back his 2008 guilty plea and seek a new trial. Prosecutors stand behind their case against the teenager, but at least two officers who interrogated Smothers say he took responsibility for the same murders.

“He said we had the wrong person, the wrong guy,” Sgt. Gerald Williams testified in May. Authorities have never publicly declared any firm connection between the two.

McGinnis described Smothers as a “careful, methodical hit man” who would never take a one-eyed teen as an accomplice and then allow him to run home after killing four people, as prosecutors now believe may have occurred.

Sanford’s mother, Taminko Sanford, is urging authorities to “use common sense” in reviewing the evidence against her son, who is blind in his right eye after being struck with an egg when he was 9.

Smothers, she said, “was a hit man, not a baby sitter.”

Smothers admitted being a killer for hire in a string of mostly drugrelated slayings. In an April 2008 interview with police, he spoke calmly and remorsefully while being interrogated around the clock by several officers. Eventually the conversation turned to the murders on Runyon Street in which Sanford was already convicted.

“Did you hit somebody in there?” Williams asked.

“Three guys, and I believe there was a female in the house with them,” Smothers replied. “I’m sure the three guys are dead.”

He said he and an accomplice named “Nemo” stole $2,000 — “I think we split it” — a half-pound of marijuana and a .40-caliber handgun that was used to kill Rose Cobb, a police officer’s wife, three months later.

McGinnis, an appellate lawyer, learned about Smothers’ statements in January 2009, about eight months after her client was sent to prison. She had already failed to get the boy’s guilty plea thrown out based on his recantation, a long shot. But this was completely different because someone else had admitted to being the triggerman.

McGinnis figured the Wayne County prosecutor’s office would back down, and Sanford would be freed.

“I was stunned. They said, ‘Too bad, too sad,’” McGinnis recalled.

“The prosecutor has tried desperately to find a connection between Davontae and Smothers but there’s no connection.”

Indeed, the prosecutor’s office insists that Sanford’s guilty plea should stick. Assistant prosecutor Joseph Puleo has conceded that Smothers may have had a role, but, he said, that does not clear the boy. He plans to summon more than a dozen witnesses, mostly from law enforcement, when he starts defending the conviction on July 13.

“They’ve got an emotional commitment to the result they’ve already obtained,” said Gary Wilson, a Detroit-area prosecutor until the early 1990s. “I bought into that attitude. It’s endemic in that part of the profession. It’s the culture.”

LETTER Indecisive Americans demand contradictory spill solutions Editor, Trying to figure out what Americans want from government as a result of the mess in the Gulf can only leave you scratching your head.

We want decisive action, but not at too great an expense. We want beefed up regulation, but don’t want to stifle our energy independence.

The response to the Gulf oil spill is just one example of the quandary our politicians face: It’s tough to give Americans what they want.

We may be bitter about the growing budget deficit, but we also resent efforts to cut entitlement spending or raise taxes. We want limited government, but we keep demanding expanded government services.

So it’s unfair to place all the blame on us for government’s failings on our politicians.

We — all of us — deserve some of the blame.

We have to understand that much of what goes on in policy-making on Capitol Hill is the effort to reconcile our irreconcilable views.

This is the tough, time-consuming work of representative democracy, and voters owe politicians some understanding and patience — since we so often contribute to the dilemma in the first place.

Gulf oil spill cleanup begins with us

“What will you do to make a change?”

by Jenny Gignac Opinion Editor

We have seen the pictures of the oilslicked birds and the sludge that has been washed up on the Gulf’s coastlines. This weekend, we saw local news reports on the effects the BP oil spill had on Fourth of July plans and Gulf resort areas that have in the past drawn many people during the holiday weekend. Businesses are losing money, kids are trying to avoid oil sludge while they build sand castles on the beach, and travel plans are made to avoid places that have been affected by the BP oil spill. While we are saddened over the images of those oilslicked birds, how long will that last for people? Once we have washed off all the oil we can see, will we still be thinking about the oil we can’t see and the long-term effects of it?

The National Oceanic Atmosphere Administration recently discovered a large deepwater rising oil column in the Gulf — a side effect from the BP spill — that spans 30 miles long, seven miles wide and hundreds of feet thick. How does underwater oil affect us? Well, how doesn’t it? Undersea oil accumulation can potentially destroy fish and sharks, but it’s the small stuff that really hurts our marine ecosystem — the zooplankton, the worms, the crabs, the shrimp

and the corals. This destruction has devastating effects on our marine ecosystem and our underwater food chain. If the big fish don’t have little fish to feed off of, the big fish die.

With the already everyday pollution we pump into our oceans, this certainly hasn’t helped. According to Green America’s website, if any good has come out of this catastrophe, it’s the increased awareness on the argument between renewable energy sources and fossil fuels.

The EPA has a huge amount of information on the long-term effects of oil spilling into the environment. The oil kills shore life by washing up and drowning small, shoredwelling creatures. Other areas affected from the oil that moves from the slick into other aquatic areas near the initially impacted area, such as lakes, streams, rivers and marshlands. These areas have more stagnation and suffer more damage from accumulated oil than oceans just because they don’t have the strength of current going for them.

The harm that occurs to these areas and their sensitive animal and plant life can have long-term deadly effects on the animals that rely on that food source, once again disrupting the natural food chain that we humans rely on.

In open waters, whales and larger aquatic life can swim away from oil slicks, but closer to shore where seals, dolphins and turtles live it is harder to avoid the spilled oil, and many of these animals can suffer devastating effects from oil contamination.

The cleanup alone can harm sensitive plant environments in these areas. The coral reefs that have been affected by the underwater oil are similar to the idea of newborns in a maternity ward after a bomb goes off.

The birds that have been smothered with oil are in danger of either freezing to death

since oil accumulation has matted their feathers down so severely they have lost the ability to insulate themselves, or they are starving to death because they can’t fly to a food source, if, that is, they can find fish that aren’t infected with oil pollution.

The men and women who are cleaning up the oil spilled in the Gulf area are also at risk. In 1989, when Exxon Valdez spilled oil in Prince William Sound in Alaska and had a tanker unleash approximately 10 million gallons of oil, scientists recorded effects on humans who were involved in the cleanup efforts. Immediately, many workers cleaning up spilled oil were experiencing breathing problems, dizziness and severe headaches according to the information from Green America. Cleanup workers were tested a year later, and 3-4 percent experienced and were treated for depression, post-traumatic stress disorders and anxiety disorders.

These effects were also found to be present in local residents as well.

Here is the long and short of it: the Exxon Valdez oil spill changed the environment irreparably, the BP oil spill — 21 years later — will irreparably change the environment. In 21 years, we have learned essentially nothing. While we may have better protection for the workers cleaning the spill, the aquatic life does not. If we have not learned a better way to protect our environment by utilizing renewable energy sources in 21 years, can we ever?

It starts with us, not the corporations. It starts with the awareness of the immediate and long-term effects that fossil fuels can have on the environment. Not just when they are spilled into an area that is approximately the same size as the Vatican City, but when they are used every day. What will you do to make a change?

frappés buy one Daily Lobo

Danny Crouch is a senior majoring in English and philosophy and is a member of the minimalist band Cloud Lantern. The band is set to start touring July 16 in Boulder. The band’s members are focused on being “nice” guys as opposed to the jerk model favored by some musicians, Crouch said. So feel free to talk to them should you happen to see them about.

Daily Lobo: So you’re a part of a band named Cloud Lantern? What do you with them?

Danny Crouch: I play the violin in Cloud Lantern.

DL: That’s interesting. Would you say that classical instruments are starting to make a resurgence back into mainstream culture?

DC: I have been playing classical instruments since third grade, so it’s always kind of been in the realm of what I have been doing. I think definitely … within Indie music it’s definitely starting to make an impact.

DL: So where does a name like Cloud Lantern come from?

DC: I don’t really know. I voted for Loud Lantern. I think it started off as Lantern Cloud and then it got put as Cloud Lantern on a flier. Then people knew us that way because the first show went pretty well. It doesn’t really go any deeper than that.

DL: So how does song writing work in Cloud Lantern?

DC: I don’t really think there’s one mastermind necessarily. Everyone in the band adds to the process.

It’s definitely Allen and Jordan that are the base of the entire project.

DL: They’re the lead?

DC: They are more like what pins it all together, like what takes the percussion and makes that able to go with the string section Daniel and I have going.

DL: Is that ever an issue? Would you say band chemistry is pretty smooth right now?

DC: Oh yeah, the band started because we were all friends. We all knew each other beforehand.

It wasn’t like those two just found people. In terms of a central figure, those two are the underpinnings to what’s happening. They really hold things together, and that allows Daniel and I to explore a little bit more because we are not the rock — if you will — of what you’re hearing.

We’re allowed to branch out.

DL: So you’re sort of on a metaphorical hinterland with potential to explore?

DC: Totally.

DL: So where does the English and philosophy fit into all of this then?

DC: I feel like it’s all very, very similar, if not the exact same thing.

DL: Could you give me an example?

DC: English is very motive driven. It’s based on experience. With music, all you’re doing— or all I am doing— is expressing emotions. I think that is perhaps how it ties together. I think in terms of philosophy there’s … theory. I don’t know how many philosophers enjoy music all that much. If you break it down too much, it’s the same as everything else (laughs).

DL: So do you think you would do music as a career or not so much?

DC: I am not very focused. I enjoy doing what I enjoy doing. Obviously, I would like some way to balance all those things and sustain myself, but at the same time … with those sorts of things, I have to be doing them for the right reasons. I mean, doing it because I enjoy it or because it’s something I can use to express how I am feeling. It’s definitely weird thinking about playing music professionally because there are better artists who should be playing professionally. I just enjoy it.

DL: You lived in Heaven and Hell for a while? What was it like to live in a house-show venue with heavy musical traffic?

DC: The environment when you’re around people when they do what they want to do … it’s very strange. Even in college, you’re around a lot of people who do things they don’t like doing and don’t like to do. They feel a sense of obligation to do them. That’s understandable. They are under a lot of social pressures in life. At Heaven and Hell, there was definitely an air of freedom to do those sort of things. There wasn’t a pressure to do this or that. It was like, “If this is what you like doing, and this what you’re good at doing, and it’s helping you deal with whatever you’re dealing with then it’s important.”

DL: I think that’s prevalent in the university environment, the doing what you’re supposed to do.

Did you ever have to deal with that sort of thing?

DC: I am not outside of it. I am

just as much a part of it. I think there’s an element in acknowledging and then trying to find a way to act in a distinct way and find your own path.

DL: Yeah, your majors seem to echo that. I am an English major myself and that is one of the majors that gets the question: “Well what are you going to do with that?” Do you ever ask yourself that?

DC: Constantly. It goes with the territory.

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Arte de muertos Torture taken with a shot of humor is alive and well theater review

by Graham Gentz Daily Lobo

by Jonathon Cunningham Daily Lobo

The Day of the Dead is rising early this year.

Arte de Muertos Expo, Albuquerque’s largest Day of the Dead art exhibition, is coming to the Agave del Sol Event Center this weekend.

The Arte de Muertos Expo averages 40-50 artists from across the Southwest. Although the artists’ work shares a common theme, the styles and mediums vary.

Artists at the expo will sell everything from paintings and mixed media folk art to handbags and jewelry, said Hank Estrada, the Arte de Muertos event coordinator.

Estrada said he started the Arte de Muertos Expo in April 2009 in a small convention center in Rio Rancho. He said about 3,000 visitors attend the two-day event.

“I started it because (I am) a collector of the art myself and have traveled to Mexico for the celebration in the fall,” he said. “I found that in New Mexico we have many artists who specialize in Day of the Dead art.”

El Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, originally began as an Aztec tradition dedicated to the goddess Mictecacihuatl, the queen of the Aztec underworld.

While the festival was initially celebrated during August, it was

later moved to Nov. 1 to coincide with the Catholic holiday All Souls Day. Jane Malone, an Albuquerque artist and the head of the Flicking Jane Graphic Design Studio, said she will be exhibiting her work at the expo.

“I think it’s amazing to see the same subject represented by so many different artists,” Malone said.

Much of the local inspiration for the art is drawn from the fact that El Dia de los Muertos is an integral part of Mexican and New Mexican culture, and the holiday is celebrated widely throughout the state and around the world, Estrada said.

“This expo isn’t about celebrating the Day of the Dead,” he said.

“We’re celebrating the artists who create the Day of the Dead art.”

While Malone has attended the expo for the last three years, she said this will be the first year she’s displaying her work.

“I love the way that it’s a playful way to look at death, to feel more at home with it,” Malone said.

“Why Torture is Wrong and the People who Love Them” finds itself wedged into our uncomfortably recent times as a black political morality play with stakes of a more surreal Marx Brothers farce.

Its satire is overwhelmingly absurd, poking fun at the Bush administration’s methods and policies, explanations and justifications for warring on the world and law in large.

Written by Christopher Durang, the play is so brutal and unblinking in its examination and deconstruction of the subject matter that it seems to shell shock itself, and when everything finally comes to a head, it has an appropriately surreal conclusion.

In the theater before the show, you’re met with a montage of media clips, largely detailing the rhetoric of talking heads from the Bush era to Obama and ranging from pertinent to central themes of the play: Dick Cheney unveiling the “enhanced interrogation” memos, to a generally amusing Bush speech on the importance of doctors in America, where he encourages obstetricians and gynecologists “to practice their love with women all across the country,” to downright chilling, where a very young looking Bush declares unflinchingly during a State of the Union address, “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”

But as other talking heads appeared, it seemed that the video review was simply there to remind us of who all the scumbags were.

I began to question what the purpose of the projector show was. I was prepared for a remarkably similar political outrage of Us vs. Them, only with the poles switched, thanks to the power of hindsight and momentum of public opinion.

The set is like a giant American dollhouse, painted with wide red and white stripes and one blue wall, covered in white stars and guns.

Even the music that plays is selectively vintage, dripping with sarcasm about the odd obsession with older, “better” and “more wholesome” times.

The play opens with the character Felicity (Libby Kofford) in bed alongside Zamir (Paul Rodriguez Jr.). Felicity cannot recollect the happenings of the previous night, but Zamir quickly informs her they were married after a night of drunken tomfoolery.

Zamir is of Middle Eastern descent, though comically insists he is from Ireland (and apparently the part where all the pirates come from), so Felicity suspects that he is a terrorist. This is somewhat because of his tendency to drug her, threaten her life and speak hazily about the illegal things he does for money. Personally, I was sort of hoping there would be a twist where he turns out to be a member of the CIA instead.

Felicity is the central moral strength of the play, and Kofford performs it admirably. The absurdity and randomness of the script’s structure is truly challenging and Kofford’s ability to make the audience identify and empathize with her and the outrageous cast

is highly effective, especially toward the end when it becomes challenging to watch.

Rodriguez’s portrayal of Zamir left me confused and wanting more. His slime seems stilted and his lethargic rage toward Felicity reminded me more of the impotent clips of Bush from the earlier montage, stomping and screaming about how the Iraq war wasn’t his fault and how the whole thing was just downright unfair.

Zamir’s fragile male ego works well with his antagonistic rapport with Felicity’s father, Leonard, (John Wylie), and he establishes the duly noted relationship between powerful, albeit sexually unsatisfied men and their lust for war.

The direct connection, war to sex, is made very clear throughout the play and is also central to another black satire: “Dr. Strangelove.”

The film is even mentioned by Felicity’s mother, Luella (Leslie Joy Coleman). There’s even a clip of it in the opening montage, in case you miss it.

who will have to clear you before you can enter the area.

In order to enter Oventic, you will have to solicit the Red de Solidaridad con Mexico, or Mexico Solidarity Network, to give you a recommendation to enter the area. This can be done through its website, which you can find with a simple Google search. You will then print out your recommendation and head to San Cristóbal de Las Casas, a tourist city about an hour from Oventic. From there you will take a van for 20 pesos to Oventic.

At the gate you will be greeted by guards wearing pasamontañas, the style of mask preferred by Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos. This is done to protect their identity from government spies, who do exist in this area.

You will present your recommendation and your passport, which they will take, but don’t worry — you get the passport back. The guards will ask you a series of questions. Then you will wait outside the gates to see the Junta.

on a very sophisticated and complex political system that is completely different from anything you learned about in Comparative Politics 220.

It is completely democratic — truly democratic, not this “representative democracy” that we worship. The Junta changes regularly, and every community member gets a turn, if they are able to serve.

And, yes, it is very much un sistema socialista. But you will learn all of this if you choose to experience Oventic for yourself.

The price per week to stay there is about $160, including three meals Monday–Friday. On weekends you can eat at the comedor for about $1.50 a meal. Your sleeping arrangements, as I mentioned, involve boards, and you will stay in a dormitory. It may be useful to bring your own sleeping bag, although they provided me one when I was there.

And be open-minded, or you’re not going to get a lot out of the experience. Tzotzil culture is worlds away from our own. It is based on ideas of community that the average American cannot begin to wrap his or her head around. And they are very much against our government, as well as the Mexican government. As my teacher told me my first day of class, the most important Spanish phrase to know in Oventic is “¡Pinche capitalismo!”

Coupon only for Golden Pride

By the time you come back from Oventic, your back will ache to sleep on a real bed instead of a board. You will be covered in mud and your skin will itch for a hot shower. It’s likely you will be dying to get out of the rain and the cold, especially if you’re a New Mexico desert rat. And you will be a better person for it.

This is why I recommend Oventic as the place to study Spanish this summer.

Oventic is an autonomous Zapatista community (known as caracoles) in Chiapas, Mexico. The Zapatista rebellion began in 1994 when masked rebels took over several cities in Chiapas and issued a list of demands, including techos (roofs or places to live,) tierra (land of their own) and libertad (you should know what that means; we live in New Mexico, after all.)

In 2003, the Zapatistas created five caracoles in Chiapas, which function completely separate from government interference. Everything in Oventic, which is very impressive by the way, was built by the people living there — all the infrastructure was created without government aid. The caracoles have their own schools, their own medical clinics, their own governments and their own police,

For more on the Zapatista movement and other fascinating things about Mexico, stay tuned to Andrew Beale’s travel blog at DailyLobo.com

Entering the gates is a strange, exciting feeling — it’s like crossing a border to a country you’ve never visited.

Very cool.

The Junta de Buen Gobierno representatives, also wearing pasamontañas, will ask you the same questions again, presumably to verify you have the same answers, and are not just making up tonterías from thin air.

When they pass you, you begin the school. It is important to note at this point that, as far as I could tell, there was not a single Zapatista in Oventic that spoke English. For most of the people there, Spanish is their second language, after Tzotzil, so it’s kind of a lot to ask that they learn English too, ¿no? All of this is to say that you will have to know a little Spanish to speak to the guards and the Junta.

Spanish classes at Oventic are not like Spanish classes at UNM. You will not spend time memorizing irregular verb conjugations in the subjuntivo form (although there is a dog that lives there named Subjuntivo, if that’s worth anything.) Instead, your classes will be conducted in Spanish, but cover a broad range of subjects from politics to history to philosophy to Tzotzil culture.

The political teachings, as well, are very different from political science classes at our humble university.

from page 6

Sexual images are everywhere — the gun Leonard waves in Zamir’s face while they battle for male dominance, Leonard’s young accomplice Hildegard’s (Bridget S. Dunne) literal inability to contain herself as she fights against a fictitious evil. Then there’s the not-at-all manly butterflies, a symbol worn by all the women in the play, a symbol which Leonard spends most of his time preoccupied with and hiding behind.

At first I saw Wylie as a raving, insane, deluded, right-wing maniac caricature, with all his talk about “the gays” destroying marriage to his borderline worship of John Yoo, the infamous author of the Torture Memos.

But Wylie possesses humanity as well as insanity.

Coleman’s portrayal of a woman separated from reality out of necessity mirrors both her husband’s disassociation and the play’s itself. The one time Coleman wakes from her desperate disconnect she is rocketed into a dramatic climax about the Terri Schiavo case media frenzy. Also, Joel Miller, Mark Hisler and Dunne are each hilarious and outstanding.

“Why Torture is Wrong and the People who Love Them” moves gracefully from wordplay and superb humor to hefty themes and bitter satire. The escalation of violence of misunderstanding never slows and is unstoppable.

And all the while, the play grasps desperately for explanations to the tragedies it both mocks and despairs.

Coach hopes to reel in stars after roster losses

by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo

When a starfish loses a limb, it regenerates the missing appendage.

This concept is one the UNM cross country teams would do well to replicate in the upcoming season.

Both teams are losing crucial limbs, if you will.

The men’s team will lose Jacob Kirwa, Lee Emanuel and Chris Barnicle to graduation, while the women’s team loses Nicky Archer, Carolyn Boosey, Ashley Gibson and Laura Bowerman, all of whom were on the Lobos’ scoring team at NCAA Championships.

Despite the heavy losses on both sides, head coach Joe Franklin said he is confident his team can rebound.

“We have to rely on the students we have returning, which is a significant portion,” he said.

The bigger question, though, is not whether the teams can fill the spots, but if the spots can be filled with the same success as last season.

The men’s team finished with a phenomenal eighth place at the 2009 NCAA Cross Country Championships, and the women’s team placed 13th.

In 2009, both teams claimed the 2009 Mountain West Conference title, beating out longtime rival and division favorite BYU. Franklin said he is confident his team will meet, and perhaps surpass, the last season team’s success.

“Both teams will be challenged

by what they did last year,” Franklin said. “There’s just not as quite as much room for error.”

On the men’s side, the Lobos will have to contend with losing Kirwa, an All-American who finished in 11th place in the 10,000-meter run at nationals.

Franklin said Rory Fraser is likely the one to fill Kirwa’s spot.

Brock Hagerman, a senior who redshirted the 2009 season, said the team will miss Kirwa but will adapt to his absence by tightening the spread of runners.

“It’s not demoralizing,” Hagerman said. “We’ll all miss them, but the bulk of the team is back. It’s really nothing to worry about.”

Hagerman said he expects the men’s team to respond strongly to losing runners because many of the returning athletes didn’t make the NCAA championships in the outdoor track season.

“We have some unfinished business from the outdoor season,” Hagerman said. “The whole team this year is pretty hungry to beat the team from last year.”

Meanwhile, the women’s team won’t be impacted as severely, because it still has powerhouse runner Ruth Senior, whose top finishes helped the women’s team notch key victories.

Teammate Lacy Oeding, a junior, said Senior is a unifying figure on the team.

“She’s a great model,” Oeding said. “I have never seen her fall

Recruits arrive despite losses of last season

by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo

Welcome to UNM and the Mountain West Conference, football younglings.

For 18 freshmen on the UNM football team, wanting to make an instant impact and get playing time is the No. 1 priority.

That’s especially the case for Mike Locksley’s top recruit, Calvin Smith.

Smith was a highly touted three-star recruit out of Hialeah High School in Hialeah, Fla., and was looked at by football powerhouses like Florida State, Tennessee and defending national champion Alabama.

Smith said he is energized to be at UNM. “I think it is great so far,” he said.

“You know, I am going to come in here and try to do my best. I am going to work hard on the field and off the field. I am going to try to become a leader.”

Other than becoming a field general, Smith said the 2010 season will be much better than the 2009 display.

The Lobos went 1-11 last season and dealt with several offthe-field distractions, one that included a one-game suspension for Locksley after a physical altercation with former wide receivers coach J.B. Gerald.

But none of that has bothered Smith. He said that the UNM coaching staff has a positive vibe and that they have the kinks worked out for the upcoming season.

“I think that they know what they are doing,” Smith said. “They are going to lead us to victory, the talent that is coming in. That should help us win a couple more games than we did last year and things are going to get better.”

Smith will join a defensive line

Cross Country

that was perhaps the brightest spot on the field last season.

He will team up with defensive lineman Jaymar Latchison and Jonathan Rainey.

Rainey led the MWC in tackles for loss.

“I am going to come in and make this defensive line even that much better,” Smith said.

As far as the quarterback position is concerned, Darian “Stump” Godfrey said it’s an open arms race.

Godfrey, a Gilmer High School product, was voted Texas’ Mr. Football in 2009 and in 2007, as a sophomore, led Gilmer to a 14-1 record and state runner-up in Texas’ Class 3A division.

Godfrey said he chose UNM because he likes what Locksley had to offer.

“He won me over on the first day when he came in and we sat down face-to-face,” Godfrey said.

“He talked to me and gave me what he was going to do and he basically said he was determined to win and he wanted a great player to come out here to New Mexico and help him win.”

Godfrey is known for his mobility and speed at the quarterback position. This might give him an advantage when fall camp opens up next month.

He is competing with sophomore quarterback and maybe the slated starter for the first game at Oregon, B.R. Holbrook, junior Brad Gruner and freshman Tarean Austin.

Godfrey said UNM will have to alter its mentality for the upcoming season.

“We have to stay humble and stay focused,” he said. “You can’t go out and get the big head and you can’t get hot headed when you lose. You have to stay the same and stay on the same level at all times.”

apart in a race. I’m really happy to see someone finish that high. It brings the score down. If we didn’t have her, we’d be doing worse as a team.”

Oeding, who finished 63rd at nationals, said there is always room to improve.

In that vein, Franklin said he expects Oeding and Senior to have great seasons. He said he expects

DAILY LOBO new mexico

WEDNESDAY

other not-yet-well-known athletes to ascend to new heights this coming season, but as of right now it’s a bit unclear what the future holds.

“Our goal is to be top 4 every year, (similar to how) every basketball team wants to win the national championship,” Franklin said. “Really, if you make it there, anything can happen, and that’s our goal.”

Strasburg ignored for All-Star honor

by Howie Rumberg Associated Press

NEW YORK — In the year of the pitcher, no-hit aces Ubaldo Jimenez and Roy Halladay lead a formidable National League All-Star staff. Rookie sensation Stephen Strasburg will have to wait at least another season before he gets the nod.

AL MVP catcher Joe Mauer was announced Sunday by Major League Baseball as the fans’ top choice for the July 13 All-Star Game in Anaheim, Calif. Albert Pujols earned the most votes in the National League.

In the closest voting, the Mets’ David Wright overtook the Phillies’ Placido Polanco in the final week to win the NL starting third baseman spot.

Each squad still has one more spot to fill in its 34-man roster. Fans will make the decision, choosing from a list of five candidates in each league in an Internet runoff.

Strasburg’s 100 mph fastball has captivated fans around baseball since the Washington Nationals called the right-hander up June 8, but NL manager Charlie Manuel would like to see 21-year-old settle into his role as an ace before making the Midsummer Classic.

“I looked there and I felt like, in my opinion, and I’m not his manager, but at the same time he’s a young kid,’’ Manuel said. “I say let him pitch and let him get his feet on the ground in the major leagues and kind of let him earn his way.’’

Strasburg watched the selection show on a clubhouse television, but was called away by Nationals management after the first couple of pitchers were selected.

“I thought he had a pretty good shot,’’ Nationals closer and All-Star pick Matt Capps said.” He’s one of the top pitchers in baseball right now.’’

Halladay pitched a perfect game in his first season with the Phillies, and Jimenez had one of the four nohitters this year and is off to a remarkable 14-1 start with a 2.27 ERA for the Colorado Rockies.

Halladay’s teammate Chase Utley was voted as the starting second baseman for the NL, but he is out with an injured right thumb. He will be replaced in the lineup by Atlanta’s Martin Prado.

Colorado’s injured shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was chosen as a reserve by his peers. His spot will be taken by the Mets’ Jose Reyes.

John Bazemore / AP Photo Detroit Tigers shortstop Ramon Santiago throws to the mound after forcing out Atlanta Braves Jason Heyward in the first inning in Atlanta on June 25. In his rookie season, Heyward will play in his first MLB All-Star game, which is on July 13.

Game since 1996 are: Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina; Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez; and Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun, Los Angeles’ Andre Ethier and Atlanta’s Jason Heyward in the outfield.

Heyward, on the 15-day disabled list with a deep bone bruise in his left thumb, said Sunday he might play in the All-Star Game, using the appearance like a rehab start.

In the American League, Mauer is joined by Minnesota Twins teammate Justin Morneau, the first baseman.

The other AL starters: Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano and shortstop Derek Jeter; Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria; Texas designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero; and Texas’ Josh Hamilton, Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki and Tampa Bay’s Carl Crawford in the outfield.

The World Series champion Yankees and Boston Red Sox have a leading six All-Stars each, but Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia and catcher Victor Martinez are out with injuries.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi made several difficult decisions in finalizing the AL squad. He left off Andy Pettitte and took teammate CC Sabathia, both 10-game winners, and selected slugger Alex

Rodriguez, who only has 12 homers but 61 RBIs. Manuel was refreshingly honest when asked why he chose Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard and not Cincinnati’s Joey Votto, who has similar power numbers as Howard but a big edge in on-base percentage (.414 to .353 entering Sunday).

“He’s my guy, our player, my guy,’’ Manuel said of Howard, one of his two position player picks. Votto is on the final five list.

Among the other players having strong seasons who got left off are Kansas City’s David DeJesus (.325) and Billy Butler (.320), Mets pitcher Mike Pelfrey (10-2) and San Diego pitcher Mat Latos (9-2).

NL West-leading San Diego Padres manager Bud Black was disappointed no one from the majors’ best pitching staff (3.06 ERA) made it; closer Heath Bell is an Internet finalist.

“From our perspective, it’s a little shocking,’’ Black said. “I thought we had some guys who were pretty good bets to make it.’’

One surprising pick was St. Louis’ Matt Holliday. In the first year of a seven-year, $120 million deal, Holliday is batting .209 with runners in scoring position and has 39 RBIs — fourth-best on the team.
