Lawmakers start work on Lottery Scholarshipby John Tyczkowski and

UNM students found that when they attend-ed Tuesday’s legislative session, there was very little mention of UNM on what was supposed to be UNM Day, and very little change in topics dis-cussed from previous years.

For the second year in a row, students planned to lobby for causes such as Lottery Scholarship solvency, efforts to keep UNM graduates in state and capital outlay projects involving the renova-tion of University facilities.

Students broke into groups to speak one-on-one with legislators. But due to the morning roll call of the House and Senate, which required rep-resentatives and senators to be present on the floor, many student groups were unable to find legislators to talk to.

One group of students managed to talk to Rep. Miguel P. Garcia (D-Albuquerque), a UNM alum-nus, about Lottery Scholarship solvency. The scholarship’s funds are expected to dry up by July of this year.

“It’s definitely a priority, it’s very integral to pursuing a degree,” Garcia said. “Without it, a lot of kids wouldn’t be able to graduate from college or even go to college.”

Senate Majority Whip Timothy Keller (D-Albu-querque), a major proponent of Lottery Scholar-ship solvency, also weighed in on the issue, saying that legislators are working to draft a bill address-ing the issue. Keller said that both parties’ major-ity leaders are looking to freeze the amount a stu-dent receives from the scholarship each year.

C RIME BRIEFS

UNMPD responded to a call about an unknown suspect rum-maging through a pair of pants in an office at the UNM natatorium on Jan. 15. According to the re-port, the owner of the pants’ of-fice mate spotted the suspect.

The witness confronted the suspect, who said he was look-ing for a professor. UNMPD con-firmed through the National Crime Information Center that the suspect gave the witness false identification information. When the owner of the pants returned to his office he found nothing missing from his pants.

According to a UNMPD report, an unknown suspect verbally as-

saulted a man, then struck the man on the mouth with a skateboard he was carrying on Jan. 17 near the SUB. � e case is considered to be closed, pending further leads.

Sta� members at Student Health Services called UNMPD af-ter a man reportedly said he would burn something down if one more person called him by his real name. � e police reported it as a “gender crisis.” According to the report, the man then walked out of the build-ing and punched a the window of a car.

Police were told the man and the owner of the car both went back into the building to talk to the medi-cal director, and were met by police when they left again. � e owner of the car told police he did not want to prosecute the man for breaking his car window. � e man � nally agreed to give police his name, but

had to write it down because he re-portedly said it was painful saying his given name.

On Jan. 19, a suspect stole a small desktop computer from Zim-merman Library. According to the UNMPD report, a man set o� the alarm when he left the library, then dropped his backpack and � ed. Minutes later, he returned. While he was gone, a security guard opened the backpack and found a comput-er that was reportedly worth $2,000 in it. � e computer was not dam-aged, except for the property tag having been removed.

UNMPD was dispatched to Lobo Village in response to a

loud party on Jan. 20. According to the report, the officer arrived to find eight people surrounded by what smelled like burnt mar-ijuana. The officer instructed everyone but the two residents to check out with security and leave.

The residents told police they had “smoked a couple of joints.” The officer reported that he saw “bits of stems and leaves of green vegetable material” on the coun-ter, as well as a pipe “that ap-peared to be consistent with those that my training and ex-perience have shown to be com-monly used to smoke marijua-na.” Both the vegetable material and the pipe were seized, and the officer wrote the residents crim-inal nontraffic citations. There was no further information at the time of the report.

themselves and ask ‘Am I alone?’ No student would have to feel un-safe, and all students at my school will know that they have an ally,” he said. “Speaking to a teacher and having them becoming an ally, and having a rainbow stick-er on their door or a rainbow � ag in their classroom sends a huge symbol for the school, it will im-pact so many lives and that’s what we’re doing.”

YPF Program Organizer Wil-liam Dennis said Nelson’s work with YPF and We Are One brings to life a Navajo Nation community that has been underrepresented.

“With him standing up for the LGBT community and really wanting to educate people who may have never had the opportu-nity to talk about LGBT issues … the actual work he’s doing in his community is really amazing and will have a great impact,” Dennis said.

Judge hears ‘Sister Wives’ suitby Paul Foy

The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — A federal judge heard arguments on whether Utah can prohibit plural marriage but issued no immediate ruling in a lawsuit by the stars of the reality show “Sister Wives.”

Kody Brown and his four wives claim the law is unconstitutional. The family fled Utah for Las Vegas last year under the threat of pros-ecution. They did not attend the Jan. 17 hearing in Salt Lake City, leaving arguments to a constitu-tional law professor.

“The Browns wanted to show people that a plural family is not a monstrosity,” said Jonathan Turley of The George Washington University. “They don’t commit collateral problems.”

Turley said the Browns’ only sin was opening their family to the TLC hit series, which drew the attention of Utah authorities.

“The state is saying if you didn’t do this TV show, you wouldn’t have a problem,” he said. “They have a right to free speech and are being prosecuted for it.”

The hearing dealt with the le-galities of due process and free-dom of association.

U.S. District Judge Clark Wad-doups peppered a state lawyer on why he shouldn’t throw out Utah’s bigamy law. It’s stricter than the laws in 49 other states — most of them prohibit people from having multiple marriage licenses. Utah makes it illegal to even purport to be married to multiple partners or live together.

What if Kody Brown kept sepa-rate households for each wife, or was just having affairs, the judge asked.

“That would not be polyga-my,” said Assistant Utah Attorney General Jerrold Jensen.

Yet Jensen argued Utah’s unique history of polygamy for more than 100 years has made vic-tims of thousands of girls forced to marry as young as 13, and caused rampant child abuse, with boys “kicked out on the street” to reduce competition for older men seeking multiple brides. He

said the state has an interest in preventing social harm.

Waddoups said the Browns’ 17 children are irrelevant to the case, and Turley argued that sex and child abuse was just as common in monogamous families.

Waddoups challenged Jens-en on whether Utah was cracking down on a religion. Most polyga-mists in the state call themselves fundamentalist Mormons, al-though The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints renounced po-lygamy more than a century ago.

“Every state in the nation has these laws — and not every state has Mormon polygamists,” re-plied Jensen, who argued that big-

amy was not merely adultery. “I’ll tell you what makes it different — the harm to women and children coming out of a polygamous rela-tionship. We have a history of it in Utah — stories in the thousands.”

Turley said Utah has to prove the harm of polygamy, not assert general statements. He argued the exile of young boys was a myth and that Utah was trying to en-force morality.

“We’re asking for what Justice Brandeis called the most impor-tant constitutional right, the right to be left alone,” Turley said, refer-ring to Louis Brandeis, who served on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1916 to 1939.

Readers responded online to the column “A nation of Honey Boo Boo fans shouldn’t own guns,” published in Thursday’s Daily Lobo. In his column, Jason Stafford out-lined the differences between American culture today and how it was when the Sec-ond Amendment was created. He uses this progression to argue that not everyone in America should be allowed to own a gun.

by “JD”“Ha. There is actually little to no intel-

lectual honesty, sorry intellectual ability, here at all. It is the typical mindless left mantra beginning with the premise “I’m against anything that is supported by the right,” then pick and choose very poorly researched opinions and pretend they are facts to support your position.

Jason doesn’t really understand any American concepts, or that the garbage he speaks of is completely inconsistent. For example, these three statements are about as poorly researched as it gets, and are essentially equivalent in their absurdity: 1) “a nation full of right-thinking Americans who also watch Honey Boo Boo.” 2) The paragraph about armed guards is pretty laughable at how contradictory it is. I don’t think he’s smart enough to realize it. He essentially says that armed guards don’t prevent everything, but then concedes they prevent a lot of things. Then he turns into a psychologist and tells us having an armed guard would just make a killer happier for being able to kill another person. So what’s your point dude? Armed guards and police are used to prevent crime, and all of the latest massacres were in gun-free zones, so your point just sucks. 3) Last, and the saddest point is on the Founding Fathers, and I don’t blame Jason for this one, I’ve read and heard it before: that the Founding Fathers are outdated and shouldn’t necessarily be listened to because of slave ownership, etc. I wonder if

Jason has ever tried to understand what the Constitution is all about, if he can see the correlations between the First and Second Amendments or if he just regurgitates those who would like to remove the entire document, those who do actually understand what it means and don’t like it. I would assume that he just doesn’t really understand it and only dislikes “Republicans” and takes it from there. Anyway, Jason is an adult, and I am trying to help him in telling him that he is making himself look like an ignorant partisan. Please, don’t make an ass of yourself Jason, maybe just stick to painting pictures, or doing something a little more playful, maybe make some music, whatever you like to do. Leave the thinking to the adults.”

by “Brad”“Quote: ‘The majority of the slobs I see

with guns couldn’t insurrect their way out of a paper sack with a gun in each hand and a cannon firing from their a**hole.’

This statement says much more about the quality of persons the author sees (Where? Television? Slobville? Liberal Fantasy Land?) than it does about the re-ality of the millions of lawful and decent gun owners in this country. I suggest the author attend at least one firearms train-ing class or sporting event before posing as an authority on firearms.”

by “CodyA”“Jason, have you ever owned or shot a

gun? Have you ever taken a firearms safe-ty course? Do you even know the simple mechanics of a firearm? By the language used in this article, I can safely assume the answer to all these questions is no. Please either educate yourself, or f*** off and de-bate about something of which you have at least a tiny bit of knowledge. I’m all for a civil debate, but debating with someone

who is totally ignorant on the topic dis-gusts me. Thanks.”

by “That Guy”“So your point is that we can’t have civil

discourse on this topic because of all of the name calling, while at the same time name-calling those who don’t buy into your statist mentality?

Ad verecundiam much?You know, Jason, I’m a little tired of going

through my original source documents, writ-ten by the men you just pillared, every oth-er week to debunk your ill thought out little diatribes.

I want you to recite to me, chapter and verse, where the Founding Fathers commit-ted policy for genocide (a word you dropped far too easily) and disenfranchised women.”

by “Gaia”“So you’re saying that just because people

watch trucks skid off the ice or Honey Boo Boo, nobody is allowed to own guns? Do you have any idea how completely stupid that is? Just because some people watch television or wear clothes you don’t approve of does not mean that they should have their Second Amendment rights taken away. I wear a lot of black simply because I hear it suits me. I like my leather pants and knee high boots. That doesn’t mean I’m going to shoot some peo-ple just because life got a little tough. Grow up and accept the fact that people get to be individuals today. Nobody will bow down to your opinion because, newsflash princess priss, you are not so precious that people will take you seriously. So yes, go and edu-cate yourself and learn a little tolerance. And then maybe, maybe you can consider writing another article for a paper. But until then, go away.”

To join the conversation, go to DailyLobo.com.

Editor’s note: This is in response to the let-ter “Don’t bring your sword of justice to a gun fight,” published in Tuesday’s Daily Lobo. In his letter, Patrick Gallagher criticized a column by Jason Darensburg urging stricter gun control. Gallagher criticized what he perceived to be the columnist’s left-wing agenda. Editor,

I am appalled at the biased and unprofes-sional nature of the letter posted by Patrick Gallagher. He tosses out “liberal” as an insult, even jokes about how justice won’t be able to touch him, because he can just shoot it.

“I don’t care to go into too many details re-garding my gripes with this column,” he said. That’s because he hasn’t done any factual re-search to back up his argument.

In fact, he has shown no proof to back up any of the claims he’s made. And what claims has he made, other than “liberal” being a bad word? At least Darensburg has all the deaths caused by guns in America to back up his claim; where’s your evidence, Gallagher? All you do is insult Darensburg and call him names, like a 7-year-old bully.

I love when stupid conservatives try to act like they’re smart, because it just shows how immature they really are, and how much they don’t care about other people. Isn’t that right, Gallagher? You’d think holding onto a hunk of metal used only to kill things, which in turn will allow people who aren’t supposed to have them to have them, is more important than preventing even one mass shooting? Why don’t you go up to the parents of students at Sandy Hook Elementary School with your guns and say, “Sorry folks, but these guns are more important to me than saving the lives of children.”

But with “people” like Gallagher, as long as it doesn’t affect him, it’s not his problem, right?

Editor,

This is the best part of my day: walking into La Montañita Co-op. Whether it’s here on cam-pus or at the other locations around town, I know that I will be greeted by warm smiles and some truly wonderful discoveries. When you enter, it’s all about good food and good peo-ple. Ever since I was a little boy accompanied by my parents, an overwhelming sense of joy has filled my spirit, and quite frankly, filled my stomach, every time I would enter La Monta-ñita Co-op.

Where else can you take a trip through deli-cacies and nutritious treats spanning the globe, from Peru, Ecuador, and all across our local New Mexico farms in less than five minutes? I thought maybe it was all the different peo-ple, the kaleidoscope of colors, or the different smells from the fresh produce that changed me; but now that I am a little bit older I know what you are a part of when you step inside La Montañita Co-op: community.

Since I am an arts major, colors just kind of speak to me in different ways.”Velasco said she likes her clothes to be as colorful as she likes her art, like this outfit with mixed patterns and matching colors with her scarf and sweater.Earrings — Charlotte Russe, giftScarf — Ross, $10Pearls — giftSweater — American Eagle, $20Boots — Dillards, $60Jeans — American Eagle, $20

‘We are these nerds about toys’by Nicole Perez

[email protected]

Today’s toys aren’t just marbles, jump rope and jacks: kids can now program solar-powered robots to navigate mazes, turn on the lights or get a snack from the fridge.

“Someone programmed the Lego Mindstorm to flush the toilet and say thank you,” said Out of the Blue Toy Store co-manager Cariad Owen. “One of them could draw a replica of the Mona Lisa, because it uses just com-puter programming. You can make it as complicated as you want.”

Out of the Blue Toys, a 23-year-old

specialty toy store, carries everything from 10-cent mini dice to the $300 Lego Mindstorm. The shelves are lined with dolls in pink boxes, 3-foot-tall dollhouses and Mr. Bubble Bath-tub Ice Cream Shoppe kits, a toy that makes foam ice cream in the bath.

High-tech and solar-powered toys are a fairly new commodity, accord-ing to Owen and co-manager Lisa Gallegos.

“I’m not sure everything that was out there when I was 5 or 6, but the array of things — science kits for ex-ample — there’s just everything you would think of,” Owen said. “I don’t remember having access to anything

Favorite trend: “It’s the mix-matching of the patterns, because before it was a fashion faux pas — that you can’t mix patterns — but now it’s coming back pretty hard and pretty well.” Least favorite trend: “I think it might be Ugg boots with shorts. It’s like taking one extreme to the next; it’s like you’re weather-ly challenged.”

Josh Melendez Freshman, undecided“My dad’s a surgeon, actually, and he’s always best dressed. He’s always looking his best, and I didn’t want to fall into his footsteps, but I always wanted to almost look as good as he did.”Melendez said he likes to match or semi-match his wardrobe to look as sharp as his father.Hat — online, $8Beats — Best Buy, $300Hoodie — High school, $30Watch — G-Shock (online), $140Backpack — Big 5, $60Jeans — Aero, $11Belt buckle — somewhere in San Francisco, $30Shoes — Nike, $110Favorite Trend: “I love wearing gray; silver’s actually my fa-vorite color. My hat is silver, my car is actually silver.” Least: “Plaid shorts, I’m just not a fan of those. You look like you ripped them off a picnic table and just started wearing them.” ~Antonio Sanchez

like that when I was a kid.” Gallegos said that decades ago, sci-

ence projects and games were theo-retical and couldn’t be realized by the kids thinking them up. But now kids have the tools to make everything.

“You would enter these competi-tions and stuff and see if they would work and see who would win, but it was never anything this cool that you could do yourself,” Gallegos said. “We’d have these hypothetical ideas, but it’s not like you could actually do it.”

Gallegos said many of Out of the

Blue’s interactive, specialty toys are not available in big box stores. They don’t just follow movie fads, and she said their toys are more long-lasting and safer than many toys from corpo-rations. Owen said some of the dan-gers of corporate toys include stran-gulation and choking.

“Sometimes I’ll see that at a big box store there’s a huge list of things that have been recalled,” Gallegos said. “There’s been this hazard in glue that hasn’t been tested or something, and that just really freaks me out.”

All of Out of the Blue’s products are tested by the managers for safety, durability and age-appropriateness.

“We are these nerds about toys and we learn a lot about everything in the store,” Gallegos said. “A lot of parents want to buy games for really young children, and we are like ‘Well, this one’s really more of a cooperation game, waiting your turn, respecting other people.’”

Education is innate to all toys, Owen said, because kids learn in all types of situations.

“Some people come in and say they want ‘educational,’ but I think everything’s educational,” Owen said. “Play, creativity, having fun, it’s all educational. It helps estab-lish your outlook and how you’re going through life logically.”

Gallegos said kids usual-ly don’t even realize they are

learning when they play. Chil-dren frequently call Gallegos by phone, and she watches them grow up. She speaks fondly of An-dres, a 6-year-old boy who likes dinosaurs.

“I’ve known Andres since he was really little — he’s really smart and we have a really great rapport,” Gallegos said. “He still wonders if I know him and I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me right now? Of course I know you, come
