New Mexico voters will decide whether to approve a bond that could mean a major facelift to UNM’s biology and chemistry departments.

In November, New Mexico voters will vote on the $114.5 million Gen-eral Obligation Bond C, $19 million of which would go toward construction at UNM.

UNM would use $16 million for a large-scale renovation of Clark Hall, which houses the chemistry depart-ment, and $3 million to complete construction to Castetter Hall, which houses the biology department. Con-struction on Castetter Hall began in 2010, but the building remained un� n-ished after construction funds ran dry.

Renovations to Clark Hall and Castetter Hall are part of the Uni-versity’s 10-15 year Consolidated Master Plan.

UNM is conducting a facility scan — evaluating the conditions of build-ings on campus to decide whether to update or demolish. While the scan is not entirely complete, Provost Chaouki Abdallah said Clark Hall and Castetter Hall seem to be the University’s top priorities.

If the bond passes, construction

could begin as early as next year. � e bond funds would be split among 26 higher education institutions.

University Planning O� cer Mary Kenney said the facility scan will help put the bond funds to e� ective use in a di� cult economic environment.

“When we address some of the condition issues on our campus, it’s going to be important for us to un-derstand, based on the academic plan and the strategic plan of the new president, where we are going to focus our resources because there’s just not enough money to go around and do everything we need to do,” she said.

University Architect Robert Doran said after the un� nished � oor of Castetter Hall is complete, it will include new teaching laboratories and o� ces.

Kenney said Clark Hall needs major work, including structural renovations, interior updating and exterior remodeling.

“We believe that we can really bring a whole new life to chemistry,” she said. “Chemistry is one of those foundation-al programs that feed pharmacy, nurs-ing, School of Medicine and biology. It’s an essential building that needs to have renewal so that we can serve our students better and make sure that fac-ulty have labs and o� ces that are ap-propriate for teaching.”

Marisa Silva, a GPSA Representative from the history department, is the sole candidate for the GPSA presidency next year. She spoke with the Daily Lobo about what she hopes to accomplish if she is elected and what quali� es her for the position.

Daily Lobo: Why did you decide to run for o� ce?

Marisa Silva: I decided to run for o� ce because I wanted to pursue the goal of continuing increased � scal re-sponsibility, and also promoting grad-uate assistantships.

We are living in a time of fiscal crisis and nationally we are

seeing some cuts; however, I feel that graduate assistantships are something we cannot a� ord to make at the University, especially as they’re related to promoting undergraduate and graduate recruitment, retention and completion of degrees.

I’m a native New Mexican and I feel that we have many people from outside of the state (running the Uni-versity). Some of them are very talent-ed and I respect them very much, but many out-of-state faculty and admin-istrators occupy leadership positions, and I feel that as a New Mexican, we need someone who knows our com-munity’s needs and I really wanted to put diversity at the forefront of the UNM hiring processes, especially re-lating to faculty.

I was willing to challenge (Cur-rent GPSA President) Katie Richard-son (as an in-state leader) despite my tremendous amount of respect for her leadership (Richardson is from California). I feel that it is vital to put this diversity issue on the front page, and to continue in some of the great work that GPSA and (Richardson) in particular have already been doing to increase private assistantship funding for graduates. I have served on special sessions related to assistantship fund-ing as a representative of the History Graduate Student Association.

DL: What are your top three goals? MS: My three top goals are to in-

crease graduate assistantship funding

at the University in order to promote graduate and undergraduate degree completion. � e second would be to continue working toward greater � scal responsibility at the University level in general, and that includes addressing this proposal by the regent majors dur-ing spring break to increase students fees and student tuition by 3 percent … � is would hurt the goal of recruit-ment and degree completion. My last goal is to promote the hiring of faculty as well as collaboration across the Uni-versity between student groups.

DL: (un)Occupy Albuquerque pro-testers have been banned from pro-testing on UNM’s campus without a permit. Do you think it is appropri-ate for groups to apply for permits to protest, or should any group have that right at any time?

MS: � is University is a state insti-tution and should be held to the First Amendment. Any group should have the right to free speech and non-violent assembly, especially at an institution of higher education. I do not believe you should have to apply for a permit to ex-ercise a constitutional right.

DL: What speci� c measures would you take to increase the fund-ing for assistantships?

MS: I was on the committee with GPSA and Graduate Employees Together (concerning assistantships) and we have already

In an emergency meeting Wednesday, the ASUNM Senate unanimously passed a resolution in opposition to the proposed $77 in-crease in student fees.

� e Board of Regents is consid-ering a proposal that would split the additional funding between Ath-letics and UNM Libraries. ASUNM President and Student Fee Review Board Vice Chair Jaymie Roybal said the Board of Regents has not of-fered a detailed outline of how stu-dent fees would be spent, but said a portion of it will pay o� the Athletics Department’s $1.5 million debt.

“It’s unnecessary and inappro-priate,” Roybal said. “It’s not our responsibility to pay o� the debt of any department. � ere needs to be more � nancial responsibility in ev-ery department, especially depart-ments that use student fees.”

GPSA President and SFRB Chair Katie Richardson said the proposed increase in tuition and fees would also pay for the e-journals for UNM libraries, something she said needs to be paid for through Instruction and General funding from the state, or tuition.

“SFRB has been paying for the journals and they are in� ating by 10 percent every year,” Richardson said. “We shouldn’t be paying for these costs because they are essen-tial to student success. It is inappro-priate that student fees are funding

journal costs.”According to the ASUNM resolu-

tion, the SFRB recommendation will expand services for students, includ-ing a 24-hour library, recreational service hours and tutoring services, and an increase above what was rec-ommended by the board not only disregards the recommendations of the board, but is unnecessary.

Roybal said any increase in tu-ition or student fees should be jus-tified by specific claims as to how that money will serve students, something she said the regents have not done.

“For every dollar we spend, we should get something in return,” Roybal said. “An increase in tuition and fees should only be used for concrete services with concrete bene� ts.”

Roybal said the regents and Athletics representatives have been unclear about Athletics’ fi-nancial situation and what the money will be used for if the $77 increase passes.

“� ere’s a lot of mistrust between the students and the regents,” Roy-bal said. “At the end of the entire process to just tack on an ($77) in-crease totally diminishes everything we’ve done.”

Members of ASUNM will present the resolution to the Board of Regents on Friday during the budget meeting. � e presentation will include a video produced by ASUNM Sen. Bridget Chavez that will share the stories of � ve students at UNM who will be unable to a� ord an increase in

tuition and student fees.If the proposal is approved, fees

could be as high as $580 next year.“As a Senate we have to urge for

student representation on board decision-making bodies,” ASUNM Attorney General and SFRB mem-ber Gregory Montoya-Mora said. “We should have a voice for any

dollar we are funding.”� e ASUNM Senate considered

an amendment to the resolution that would have stipulated how any increase in tuition and student fees would be spent if the regents decid-ed to pass the increase, but the mo-tion did not pass.

“� e most important part is

that we communicate that several departments need more � scal responsibility,” ASUNM Sen. Caroline Muraida said. “Student fees are not a scapegoat or a last resort.”

� e Board of Regents is also con-sidering a 3 percent tuition increase. � e board is expected to � nalize the budget April 27.

After the basketball season, the next big event for The Pit is the 16th annual Ty Murray Invitational, pre-sented by the Professional Bull Riders (PBR). It is hosted by Ty Murray, a nine-time bull riding world cham-pion and PBR co-founder. The top 35 bull riders in the world will be competing with the toughest bulls at the University Arena this weekend. New Mexico native L.J. Jenkins of Texico won first place last year.

The Pit is the smallest arena PBR hosts, requiring only 40 tons of dirt, compared with other arenas that need up to 2,400 tons. Because of The Pit’s small entrance, only one tractor bucket can be hauled at a time. Filling The Pit takes more than four hours.

Bull riding events will be held Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the UNM ticket outlets.

drafted a resolution on the issue. There have been overtures made by the provost saying that he is on board with increasing those assistantships, but the official resolution is still subject to a vote with GPSA. That resolution has been drafted through six different departments and I imagine that will be on the ballot for our March 31 meeting.

DL: Several bills GPSA advocated for at the State Legislature that would have increased funding for graduate students and created hiring incentives for recent graduates failed this year. How would you ensure that future bills supported by GPSA have a better chance at passing?

MS: I know that those were very close and it was a matter of time run-ning out, not a matter of the language, which was very positive and received a positive response from legislators. What we can do is make sure to gener-ate more visibility through the media and partnerships with the community, and this will provide more of an incen-tive for legislators to hear the bill earlier

in the session. It was a matter of time — the clock literally running out.

DL: What specific measures would you take to ensure more diverse faculty are hired?

MS: One of the things I need to do is research how faculty are hired. I am not sure what the areas of consideration are for faculty hiring and how points are assigned. But if there is a student voice that is clamoring for faculty that closely resembles our diverse popula-tion, that will be heard. I am hoping to keep in close contact with the Faculty Senate and ethnic centers and student organizations.

The first phase of this would be a needs assessment of this committee. A wide variety of organizations would likely support greater diversity because it promotes retention. Retention of di-verse groups is improved by diverse faculty. In undergraduate students, the attrition rates of men of color, for instance, are very low at this institu-tion so I believe there is a sound ratio-nale for hiring faculty to retain them through graduation, and these men

would be able to help mentor at-risk younger students.

DL: Have you considered trying to get a student voice on boards that hire faculty?

MS: Historically I need to do more research on that, but absolutely I think that would be an excellent step.

DL: What qualifies you for the of-fice of the presidency?

MS: I have a long history of service to New Mexico in public school. I have seven years of experience teaching in Albuquerque and Las Cruces. I worked as a substitute teacher and education assistant, a high school teacher here at Valley High School in Albuquerque for five and a half years.

I’m a bilingual educator and I feel that the multicultural diversity in New Mexico needs to be addressed by somebody who knows it. … I also have a very strong network with the student resource centers, including the Women’s Resource Center, the American Indian Student Services, African American Student Services and El Centro de la Raza.

Computer takes on cancerby Jim FitzgeraldThe Associated Press

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — The medical training of IBM’s speedy Watson computer will continue with a residency at a renowned Manhattan cancer hospital.

IBM and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center said today that they will add the latest in oncology research and the hospital’s accumulated experience to Watson’s vast knowledge base, and keep updating it.

The result should help the hospi-tal diagnose and treat cancer more quickly, accurately and personally, they said.

“The capabilities are enormous,” said Dr. Larry Norton, deputy chief for breast cancer programs at Sloan-Kettering. “And unlike my medical students, Watson doesn’t forget anything.”

Watson won fame by beating the world’s best “Jeopardy!” players. Ap-plying its speed and language skills to medicine was a longtime goal at IBM, and Watson went to work last year for the health insurer Wellpoint Inc.

The training at Sloan-Kettering will take time, and it may be the end of next year before patients at the hospital are benefiting from Wat-son’s speed and depth, said Dr. Mar-tin Kohn, chief medical scientist at

IBM. If successful, the finished prod-uct could be used anywhere in the world to aid cancer treatment.

Watson will be fed textbooks, medical journals and, with permis-sion, individual medical records. Then it will be tested with increas-ingly complicated scenarios and as-sessed with the help of an advisory panel, Kohn said. It’s expected to speedily suggest diagnoses and rec-ommend treatments, ranking several alternatives. The computer’s grasp of the scientific literature and ability to find the right passage in seconds will help doctors keep up with the ever-expanding amount of available in-formation, the doctors said.

April is National Donate Life month. Are you an organ donor? If you are, thank you on behalf of a child or adult who will ben-efit from your generosity.

If you are not, why not? Perhaps you just haven’t thought about it. You’re young and immortal, after all, right? Wrong. Or perhaps you have some misgivings based on lack of information. Since you’re all in midterm mode, I’ll use the familiar True/False test mode to educate you. Don’t wor-ry, it’s open book.

Question 1: There are more than enough organs in the organ banks. They don’t need mine, too.

Answer 1: False. Every day, 18 people in the U.S. die for lack of a donated organ that could have saved their life. That’s al-most 7,000 a year, one every 80 minutes. In New Mexico, about 1,000 people are on the list, but only about 50 people a year actu-ally donate organs.

Question 2: My family will get hit with a big bill for harvesting my organs.

Answer 2: False. There is no cost to the donor’s estate or family for organ donation and associated expenses.

Question 3: If I’m injured or sick, they won’t try as hard to save me if they see I’m an organ donor.

Answer 3: Totally False. What do you take doctors for, a bunch of unscrupulous mercenaries? Well, whether you do or not,

it’s still false. If you get mortally wounded or terminally ill, all efforts will be made to save you. Only after everything has been done and doctors have declared you offi-cially brain dead will your organs be har-vested. The only people who profit from your gift are the recipients, whose lives may be saved.

Question 4: My religion forbids it. Answer 4: Probably false. Most major

religions have nothing against this life-sav-ing practice. Some leave it up to the indi-vidual while condoning the practice, and some outright encourage it as an act of human benevolence in keeping with their doctrine.

Question 5: I have to be dead to donate my body parts.

Answer 5: Creepy, I know, but false. You can donate blood, bone marrow and even more while you’re still alive. I know some-one who gave part of her liver to save her brother’s life.

Question 7: I’m too _______ (young, old, sick, damaged, etc.) to donate my organs.

Answer 7: By now you’ve caught onto the answer pattern here. Yep, this one, too is false. There are no age limits on organ donations, and while some of your organs may not be usable, others might be. Pos-sibilities for transplant include cornea, kidney, heart, liver, lung, pancreas and in-testines. Surely at least one of those is in

decent shape. Don’t let your age or health status stop you from donating.

Question 6: If I donate organs, I won’t be able to have an open-casket funeral.

Answer 6: Also false. Your organs are in-side you, remember? They can be surgical-ly removed with no outward visible effects and you will still look peaceful and whole.

Question 7: I can just tell my family to sell my organs.

Answer 7: False. Don’t even think about it. Buying and selling organs is illegal.

I know it isn’t easy to think about dying, and deciding to donate your organs means admitting you could die an unplanned death. Unfortunately, unplanned death happens all the time. I hope it doesn’t happen to you anytime soon, but if it did, wouldn’t you like to know that someone’s life could be saved even as yours was lost?

Dr. Peg’s PrescriptionGet the facts on organ donation

by Jacob WellmanDaily Lobo Guest Columnist

Reflecting on the Tucson shootings last January, our nation’s president asked us to engage in civil dialogue while discussing the issues we are called on as citizens and community members to address.

“As we discuss these issues, let each of us do so with a good dose of humility. Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let’s use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy and remind ourselves of all the ways that our hopes and dreams are bound together,” he said.

There is no place where more hopes and dreams are shared by more passionate people than at a university — especially here at the University of New Mexico. We must remember these words as we move forward in discussing the hard issues of funding our educational system at UNM, and strive to fulfill our collective vision of a better, stronger University.

Contrary to prior headlines and statements made this week, no decision has been made on any tuition, fees or budget. The Finance and Facilities meeting on March 12 was the first time regents discussed possible directions for a budget with administrators in a public meeting.

This meeting was intended to start the formal and complex process of setting a budget for the coming year at UNM, which follows one of the most inclusive budgetary processes we’ve seen at the University, with the work of the Strategic Budget Leadership Team largely informing the scenario under consideration.

At the regents’ Budget Summit, administrators will present preliminary budgets to be considered over the next month. During this month and at the meeting on Friday, the regents will listen to constituency leaders and members of the public on how these suggested budgets will impact them and the people they represent.

Ultimately, we must make a decision on a scenario that helps the University become a stronger institution for New Mexico and our students, while keeping college affordable for current and future students.

Responsibility for funding UNM is divided among the taxpayers of New Mexico (state appropriations), students and their families (tuition dollars), friends and alumni who believe in UNM so much that they donate their own money for others to experience higher education, and the funds that the University is able to self-generate.

The state appropriations have been decided and approved by Gov. Martinez. Because of a new incentives-based formula, UNM has received an increase in state funds. This is rare in today’s economy.

During his visit to Albuquerque in January, former University of Chicago President Don Randel told a national story of how America has begun to disinvest in higher education, with state appropriations creeping further down while the resources needed to educate students grow.

It is commendable that New Mexico has seen the value of investing in our students, but after three years of sharp reductions in funding, we will still struggle to operate the University at an acceptable level. Even though we are plagued with abysmal graduation and retention rates, the entire UNM community has taken necessary steps to improve the education we provide

Column

Student fee hike is still up for discussion

New Mexicans. The provost’s academic plan, the crux

of the answer to improving education at UNM, calls for new faculty hires, improved advising systems and new academic opportunities, such as an Honors College. This plan carries great promise to lead our state’s flagship University to becoming a leader in providing educational experiences to students across all disciplines. It also carries a price tag, one that in my opinion is prudent and necessary to fulfill.

As we approach the next step in the budget process, I encourage students to keep in mind a fundamental truth for any consideration of increased tuition: while

all decision makers must be aware of the importance of keeping costs to students down, it may be more wise to invest in measures to help students graduate faster now, rather than cause students to pay for additional years of school because of unaddressed barriers to graduation.

I look forward to your participation in the Budget Summit and hope than we can all come to a fair decision that will help our current students graduate and build us a stronger University for the future.

MALJAMAR — President Barack Obama traveled to the outskirts of a no-stoplight town in solid Republi-can territory Wednesday evening to promote his administration’s com-mitment to continued increases in domestic oil and gas development.

Flanked by an idle oil pumpjack on federal lands in southeastern New Mexico’s Permian Basin, Obama told a crowd gathered in a cold wind that his administration has opened mil-lions of acres of public lands in 23 states to production, has increased access to potential offshore resourc-es by 75 percent and recently ap-proved drilling of a field in the Gulf of Mexico that has the potential to pro-duce 400 million barrels of oil.

“If you hear anybody on TV say-ing that somehow we are against drilling for oil, then you’ll know that they either don’t know what they are talking about or they are not telling you the truth,” he said. “We are drill-ing all over the place.”

The president, who was accompanied by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, also reiterated his commitment to bringing down gas prices through an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy that includes an increased focus on renewable energies.

But he said there is “no connec-tion between the amount of oil and gas we drill in this country and the price of gas” because global de-mands from countries like China are behind the rising prices.

Republicans jumped on the visit to the state, which is one of a hand-ful of key swing states in the Novem-ber election, putting out statements blaming what they called his failed

energy policies for high gas prices.Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M., and

others disputed Obama’s assertion that his policies have increased pro-duction on federal lands.

“While oil production on private lands has increased, according to the Institute of Energy Research, oil production on federal land was down 11 percent in 2011,” Pearce said.

Tim Wigley, president of West-ern Energy Alliance, said Obama’s “bureaucracies and broken policies are making energy development in the West increasingly difficult, time consuming, and cost prohibitive.”

Obama made the stop in New Mexico en route from a tour of the nation’s largest solar plant in Boulder, Nev., to the site of future oil pipeline Oklahoma.

Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and Roswell Mayor Del Jurney greeted the president when Air Force One landed in Roswell about 5:20 p.m. He then boarded Marine One and headed toward the oil fields outside the town of Maljamar, population 38.

Protesters were also waiting for the president, some carrying signs opposing his administration’s consideration of listing the dunes sagebrush lizard as an endangered species. The oil and gas indus-try fears such a designation could curtail development.

“Lizards don’t pay taxes,” read one sign held up by protesters gath-ered at the Roswell airport Wednes-day afternoon. “Saving a lizard will starve a child,” read another.

Complaints about a slow per-mitting process were also being echoed in advance of Obama’s visit to wells on federal lands out-side of Maljamar.

At lunchtime, oil field workers

were joined by White House officials in suits and ties at the town’s lone restaurant, Linda’s Grill.

Maljamar resident Bill Gideon, 64-year-old husband to the grill’s namesake, sat there about an hour before grabbing a meal and going back to work. He owns L&B Trucking and his six trucks haul piping for drilling to oil rig sites all over the region. The economy is OK, he said, and people have jobs, but it could be busier.

Companies have moved rig op-erations west because “the permits weren’t coming fast enough, it was slow,” Gideon said.

His lunch companion, Wade Hood, is in the water delivery busi-ness, piping it to rig sites for use in hydraulic fracking. The slow permit-ting trickles back, he said.

“When they start slowing down the process, the economy goes down,” Hood said.

Still, Sam Cobb, the mayor of nearby Hobbs, said he was excited about the president’s visit.

“We are anxious to show the president and his staff what we do in this part of the state, and we real-ly want to be part of getting America energy independent,” he said. “We want to show the president that we are ready, willing and able … and hope we can work with the federal government in reducing barriers to achieve (that) goal.”

Maljamar is about 280 miles southeast of Albuquerque near the Texas border.

According to the menu at Linda’s Grill, “William Mitchell, president of Maljamar Oil & Gas Company, which brought the first oil well to southeastern New Mexico in 1926, reportedly named the town for his three children, Malcolm, Janet and Margaret.”

Alexander Graham Bell is most renowned for inventing the telephone in 1876, but he worked on many smaller, quirky projects as well. Here are some interesting facts about Bell, according to the Telephone Museum of New Mexico.

He experimented with sheep for 30 years to develop an ewe that

would bear more than one lamb at a time.

He studied music under August Benoit Bertini, a French composer. He planned a musical career but ended up following in his father’s footsteps as an inventor.

When he was 14 years old, he invented a rotary brushing wheel to clean husks from wheat for a local farmer.

He conducted experiments with

kites that could lift men.He trained his Skye Terrier to

growl steadily and manipulated the dog’s mouth and vocal cords to form the words “ow ah oo, ga-ma-ma,” meaning “How are you, grandmother?”

He wanted the phone greeting to be “Ahoy” instead of “Hello.”

When Bell was buried in Nova Scotia, all telephones in the U.S. were silent for two minutes in his honor.

Before the words “texting,” “Twitter” or “touch screen” were part of the common vocabulary, people opened up the phone book and spun rotary dials on telephones connected to the wall to call one another.

The Telephone Museum of New Mexico is a testament to these old days of telephones. The museum, at Fourth Street and Central Avenue, is home to hundreds of telephones from 1880 to 1984.

Phones made of wood and brass line the walls, and every room is � lled with telephone knickknacks — from pens with a metal ball designed to dial a rotary phone, to an early video phone, to 100-year-old New Mexico telephone books. A smiling, red-cheeked mannequin dangles from a two-story indoor telephone pole, his plastic hands frozen midaction.

Susie Turner, the museum’s tour guide and publicist, said all the telephones were used in New Mexico at some point.

“I always tell people we live in one of the highest tech states west of the Mississippi except for California, so don’t think we’re hicks,” Turner said. “We have a lot to do with what made New Mexico a state and the history behind the space program.”

Both Turner and the Chair of the board of directors Gigi Galassini have decades of experience working with Mountain Bell, the Albuquerque branch of Bell Systems that later changed over to many other owners.

Both began work when they graduated from high school, and Galassini said she stayed in the telephone business for 38 years. Most of the volunteers and board members are old enough to have worked with the equipment that is now behind glass cases. And Turner still

relies on dial-up Internet. Featured telephones include the “thumper,” the first-ever commercial phone model. Turner said the wooden telephone made a knocking noise when it rang, earning it its nickname. She said the Princess Phone, available in pastel colors, was popular in the late 1950s.

“That was what every teenage girl wanted,” Turner said. “It’s lovely, it’s little, it’s light. It was so light that when you tried to dial it, it would go right off the table.”

In one interactive exhibit, museum-goers pick up the handset of a turquoise rotary phone and dial a number. Elvis music plays once they’ve completed the task. Turner said young children don’t know how to dial a rotary phone, so she teaches them.

“It doesn’t have a button; they have no idea what to do with it,” she said. “And they do not know what a handset is. We’ve had them in here and they just try to pick up the whole phone.”

Galassini said it’s not just the kids who have never used these phones.

“We have teachers who are young enough today, some of them have never seen a rotary telephone,” she said. “Isn’t that strange?”

The museum opened its doors to the public in 1997 and is housed in a telephone building built in 1902, one of the oldest buildings in downtown Albuquerque. It is funded by donations and volunteer work, and Turner said it took 33,000 hours of

The museum has received visitors from Canada, Australia and Belgium, and has a copy of every New Mexico phone book issued.

Graham Bell a mixed-bag innovatorvolunteer service to prepare the museum for opening.

Turner said the museum receives visitors from around the world, and some visit for guidance as they build their own telephone museums. One man took it even further.

“We had one fellow who came over and took pictures of the museum, and then he put it on the Internet as his own museum,” she said. “Maybe he’s got a lot of business for us that way; I don’t know.”

C h a r l i e Calhoun, a museum visitor from Olympia, Wash., said he liked the display of gifts given to telephone workers of bygone eras for jobs well done.

“There are just fun little things I’ve noticed as I’ve walked around, like there’s this button that says something like, ‘Go to work, don’t go to heaven,’” he said. “I’m kind of geeky, so it’s great for geeky people, but also people who are into quirky, historical stuff.”

A small room in the basement is stacked from floor to ceiling with New Mexico telephone books, the oldest of which is from Estancia and was issued in 1918.

Turner said the museum houses every telephone book from every town in New Mexico and holds the largest collection of New Mexico telephone books, larger even than that of the state government.

The most modern phone in the museum is at the front desk, where the receptionist answers calls with

more modern technology.

Turner said she has no problems using modern communication technology, such as Skype.

“I think it’s fine. I think it’s good to keep in contact that way,” she said. “You have to forgive me because I don’t

like webcams, so I don’t like that part of Skype. But the talking on the phone part, I think is great.”

Although the museum always gets positive feedback from kids, Galassini said it is hard to get younger generations to help out and continue the legacy after she steps down.

“Someday somebody will want (the museum), I don’t want it to go down the tubes,” she said. “I can die here, I guess, if it had to be. But it’s very important to me to make sure that what we have built will continue forever.”

Members of the UNM choral program received a standing ovation in the Lincoln Center after their performance of René Clausen’s “Requiem” last weekend.

Brad Ellingboe, director of choral activities, said recognition like that is rare in New York.

“In New Mexico, everyone stands for everything all the time and I think that’s because they had been sitting a long time,” he said. “In New York, that’s a real mark of respect.”

UNM sent 180 singers to perform the piece, written specifically for the UNM choir, at New York City’s Lincoln Center Sunday. Ellingboe said they performed the world debut of the piece last year at Popejoy.

“Those people that got to be a part of this — really, it’s almost validation that the work that we’re doing here at UNM is really good on a national level,” Ellingboe said.

The group, which performed

for more than 2,000 people, was composed of the University chorus and two small choirs from Cibola and Moriarty high schools.

UNM student Darci Lobdell, Ellingboe’s secretary and personal assistant, said Sunday’s performance was emotional for the UNM students.

“Usually with this production company, they take choirs from all over the place and put them all together, but we just brought all of UNM and made one giant choir,” Lobdell said. “It definitely had school pride in it as well as New Mexico pride. We were the only ones who have ever done this before.”

“Requiem” was composed specifically for UNM, voice instructor Sam Shepperson said. With no prior recording to work off of, Shepperson said it was difficult to put the piece together at first. Working with a newly composed piece did have its benefits, Shepperson said, such as leaving a positive impression on the New York audience.

“There’s a certain generic sound sometimes from a stage from New York

— the people that do it are so used to doing it. For us, we were really excited to be there,” he said. “We had worked hard to do it, and I think that the audience there felt that and realized what a special piece it was, and how much it meant for us to be there to perform it.”

Performing at the Lincoln Center for the first time, Shepperson said he was thankful for the opportunity.

“You’re performing on the same stage where Pavarotti once sang, or Domingo — all of these famous people once performed or still perform, so that’s special,” he said.

Voice instructor and soprano soloist Leslie Umphrey said that the confidence UNM’s choir had going into Sunday’s performance was something that impressed the audience.

“After the show, someone asked if we were a professional choir, and were surprised to find out that it’s our University concert choir and a few high school choirs from the Albuquerque area,” she said. “It was an overwhelmingly positive experience.”

Fest mixes local food, NYC feelby Alexandra Swanberg

[email protected]

The Southwest Coffee and Choco-late Fest is more than a sampling of the buzz-inducing goodies in the region; it’s about supporting the local produc-ers, so people can get their fix for years to come.

Festival founders Dean Strober and Lena Armstrong-Strober moved to Al-buquerque from Brooklyn a year and a half ago. Strober said they attended a wine festival in Bernalillo and had the idea for the coffee and chocolate fes-tival. He said they wanted the festival to be as diverse as parties in New York City, instead of an event where people just walk around and sample choco-late and coffee.

“The best kind of party is where there’s always something different going on, and you can really explore what’s in this room, what’s in that room, oh my god there’s flamenco dancers, oh look, aerialist trapeze per-formers, over here we’ve got a blues band,” he said.

Strober primarily organized the event on his own, and during the last month, he said he’s been working 16 hours a day on five hours of sleep. Armstrong-Strober said Strober’s am-bition and their mutual love for enter-taining is what motivates them to put on the fest.

This Friday, the fest kicks off with the Alien Tequila After Dark Chocolate Party for adults 21 years and older. The

party features aerial trapeze artists, stilt walkers, body painters, live music and beer, wine and tequila lounges, Armstrong-Strober said.

“So we’ve definitely tried to create this kind of a rock-and-roll circus feel,” she said. “That’s sort of the feeling we’re going for. We’ve been to Burning Man; we’re all about creating art and in-the-moment spontaneity.”

The lounges are available all week-end, as well as live entertainment. Af-ter Friday, Strober said there are more cooking demos, a chocolate-eating contest, a bounce house for the kids and a baking contest.

Strober said eventgoers can sam-ple myriad chocolate concoctions, in-cluding both sweet and savory dish-es. For example, attendees can taste Chocolate Gelato Java Stout Beer Floats. There will also be gluten-free, all natural and organic options, such as raw vegan chocolate almond fudge.

Armstrong-Strober said this year’s venue is five times larger than last year’s, to accommodate more vendors and attendees. Out of the 73 vendors, 95 percent of them are from New Mex-ico, and she said the rest are from sur-rounding states. She said the event is highly beneficial to the vendors, many of whom have day jobs to pay the bills while working to get their businesses off the ground.

One vendor, Teri’s Sweet Garden, is a candy shop in Los Lunas that Teri Leahigh and her husband Mark start-ed two years ago. For their first year

at the festival, they’ll have treats such as chocolate-covered Twinkies, fudge and cups of dirt.

Leahigh said she always told her chocolate-fanatic father that she’d start a candy shop, so he could get his fix free.

“Unfortunately, my dad had passed away before I was able to get the funds and do all the stuff it takes, but we have his pictures up in the shop here, and we named one of our candies after him, so he’s still here, but the final mo-tivation was just ‘jump out of the boat and do it, do it for dad,’” she said.

When customers come in, they tell her it’s like Disneyland, Leahigh said. She tries to create a kid-friendly atmo-sphere; if chocolate is broken, they can always melt it down, she said.

“It’s all just fun, and that’s how I re-member my dad,” she said. “We would go to the little chocolate shop and we would get chocolate and take it into (back in the day it was) Mervyn’s … so it was fun, chocolate was always fun.”
