UNM students and sta� gathered on the Cornell Mall on � ursday to protest a proposed $77 student fee hike.

About 100 people, including members of GPSA, ASUNM, the Student Fee Review Board and Graduate Employees Together attended the protest.

Although a decision on the University budget has not yet been made, the Board of Regents will discuss the proposed increase at the budget summit meeting today. Members of GPSA, ASUNM and SFRB encourage all students to attend.

� e Student Fee Review Board submitted its fee allocation recommendations for the 2012-2013 school year in February. � e potential $77 increase, proposed by the Board of Regents, would tack on an additional $50 per student for the Athletics Department and an additional $27 per student for Libraries to SFRB’s recommendations.

SFRB 2012-2013 recommendations included an $81.75 allocation for Athletics, the same amount Athletics received this year, and a $33.45 allocation for Libraries, a $4.18 increase from what Libraries received this year.

� e proposed $50 increase for Athletics would be used in part as a loan to pay o� the department’s $1.5 million debt, Regent Don Chalmers told the Daily Lobo earlier this week.

GPSA Lobby Committee Co-Chair Travis McIntyre said the proposed increase will substantially a� ect graduate student retention rates. He said GPSA surveyed graduate students, and 20 percent of survey participants said they could not a� ord even a $50 increase in student fees.

“� e regents are saying they don’t want to see athletics programs

get cut, but would they rather have the Athletics Department get cut, or the graduate students get cut?” McIntyre said.

GPSA presidential candidate Marisa Silva said paying o� the debt of any department is not the responsibility of students.

“� e Board of Regents is asking us to hand over money to bail out the Athletics Department that

has been � scally irresponsible,” she said. “� at is not the students’ responsibility to just blindly hand over money.”

GPSA President and SFRB Chair Katie Richardson said the protest was a chance for students to understand the full amount they might have to pay next year.

“� ere is still an opportunity to make changes

in the University budget and make sure that it re� ects student wishes,” Richardson said. “We already pay $81.75 per student to Athletics. � e increase will put that number at $131.75 per student in Athletics’ fees alone.”

Activists in Albuquerque are re-newing their request for a federal probe after police shot and killed a second person within three days.

On Feb. 12 a UNMPD offi-cer arrived at Lobo Village in reference to damage to a secu-rity vehicle, according to a po-lice report. He met with a male who told him that while secu-rity was breaking up a party, he saw a male adult dressed in a black hooded sweat shirt and gray pants approach a security car, jump up and land on the hood of the car with his upper arm and elbow, causing a dent in the hood. The man then got into a black Toyota Rav-4 and sped away, leaving the com-plex, according to the report. The report states that the man was never found.

The fatal shooting of Atencio is the third by Albuquerque police this year and the 18th since 2010.

On Monday, another Albuquer-que officer fatally shot a 31-year-old man after he rammed his car into the officer’s vehicle.

GALLUP, N.M. — A second New Mexico man has been arrested in connection with a string of unrelated shootings that sparked hysteria and led a group of men to arm themselves and patrol Gallup.

The Gallup Independent reports that 22-year-old Mika-John Lowley, of Church Rock, N.M., is being held on $10,000 bond after he was arrested this week for his role in two of the four shootings on March 12.

Gallup Police Department Depu-ty Chief John Allen said Lowley shot a man pumping gas with a BB gun after he refused to give him money. Allen said Lowley then shot another man in a casino parking lot.

Both victims were treated at local hospitals that night and were released.

It was unclear if Lowley had an attorney.

SANTA FE — New Mexico cor-rections officials say improper phone calls and emails from be-hind prison walls to media, fam-ily and a lawyer will keep former Santa Fe attorney Carlos Fierro in prison at least until September.

The Santa Fe New Mexican re-ports that is at least three months longer than Fierro was expecting to remain locked up.

Fierro was sentenced in 2009 to a 7-year prison term in the drunken-driving death of pedes-trian William Tenorio.

With good time consideration and credit for time served, Fierro was on pace to be released from the Central New Mexico Correc-tional Facility in Los Lunas as ear-ly as this spring.

Corrections Department offi-cials say an investigation discov-ered Fierro and another inmate were caught improperly using various telecommunications de-vices from an administrative of-fice at the prison.

Protests from page 1

Services from page 1double what they paid to any other single organization.

SHAC Director Beverly Kloep-pel said many of the services are underused. Kloeppel said the cen-ter is trying to increase student awareness of services, including travel and podiatry clinics, mas-sage therapy and acupuncture services.

Kloeppel said one way the cen-ter tries to ensure that student fees support services students use is by conducting a survey of students, and running once-a-week pro-grams based on what students re-quest in the surveys.

“We recently added an acu-puncture clinic on Friday morn-ings. That is something students often do not think about, and we also have massage therapy,” Kloep-pel said.

SHAC services are offered

at reduced rates because they are subsidized by student fees. Kloeppel said the subsidy amount varies, depending on the service.

“Some services rely more on the student fee component, while oth-er services aren’t as subsidized,” she said. “For example, our coun-seling services … the first two visits are completely subsidized by stu-dent fees because we want to en-courage students to come in early for those kinds of issues.”

Kloeppel said that at the trav-el clinic, students can get the shots they need to protect them-selves from diseases when they go abroad.

“(This clinic is) for people who are traveling to make sure they get proper advice and the proper vac-cinations for the areas they are go-ing to,” she said.

Security ServicesUNM’s Police Department is

open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to respond to security issues, and while the department isn’t funded by student fees, it still of-fers students several free services. UNM Security Supervisor Rose-mary Melendrez said one of the most underused services is the escort program. The program of-fers students driving and walking escorts to anywhere on campus, but the service only provided 33 escorts in January of this year.

UNMPD also offers students jump-starts and tire changes for their cars free of charge.

“I do not think (students) really know about the tire changes and the jump-starts, we only average about 40 jump-starts a month, and even fewer tire changes,” Melendrez said.

the SFRB recommendation for Libraries would be used to cover computer updates, programming and special events, and to reinstate a 24-hour library service. Rush said the administration needs to find another way to pay for journals and periodicals.

“We do find funding the libraries critical to the academic mission of the University,” Rush said. “But we don’t believe student fees should be paying for it.”

If the proposal passes, student fees will be raised to $580 per student, a $94.51 increase from this year’s fee of $486.49. Richardson said the 20 percent increase is significantly higher than SFRB recommendation of a 3 percent increase in student fees.

GPSA Tuition and Fees Committee Chair Sarah Coffey created a petition in which students marked which increases they were

opposed to: the tuition increase, the fee increase, or both.

“We plan to present these to the Board of Regents tomorrow morning at the budget summit,” Coffey said. “We want students to be further represented at the meeting.”

During an emergency meeting Wednesday, ASUNM passed a resolution in opposition to the proposed student fee increase. The regents will review the resolution at the budget summit today.

“We fought over it yesterday, we’re fighting about it today and we’ll fight for it at the budget summit,” ASUNM Vice President Adrian Cortinas said.

While many participants at the protest also condemned the 3 percent proposed tuition increase, GPSA and ASUNM representatives said they were not as concerned about the tuition hike.

The ASUNM resolution contains

language that opposes the fee increase, but states that “if a tuition increase must occur, students expect that the integrity of the degree they will receive upon graduation will be improved.”

The resolution also calls for greater student involvement in the tuition-setting process.

GPSA has not released any official documents regarding the proposed increases.

The Board of Regents will reach a final decision on the budget April 27.

Editor,

I’m writing to you about the lack of trans-parency when it comes to enrolling in inde-pendent study courses o� ered here at UNM.With the growing number of non-traditional ca-reer paths that students here are interested in pursuing, it seems that there hasn’t been a push in the way of alternatives to the standard “class-room” by the University.

I’ll have taken six credit hours of independent study courses by the end of this semester, but not without a � ght. � e two independent study courses I’ve taken have been within the honors program here.At the beginning of the semester, I was trying to � nd some information on independent studies courses o� ered from the theater department.

Because I want to be a comedian, I � gured that would be the closest match to what I want to do. I registered for a section of Independent study with a professor and emailed him about the en-rollment and approval process for these courses. I also emailed the associate professor of theatre and dance, Bill Walters.

I was informed by my section professor that he had no idea what the process was to get my independent study approved. Walters emailed me back, denied me information, and stated that my professor should know what the process entailed.

� en I called the front o� ce of the theatre and dance department. � ey said that they had no idea what I was talking about and that no one ever called them to ask about independent studies. So I was stumped but not for lack of trying.

All I knew (and currently know) is that the process to get an independent study approved in the theater department is “harder than it used to be,” which means that it is apparently impossible. � ere is no literature or pamphlet on gaining ap-proval to an independent study class in the theater department. � is re� ects the purposeful neglect of the production of the arts that go on o� cam-pus (and not by University-partnered entities.) It’s almost like the theater department doesn’t want students in these sections. Interesting.

Because I’ve already taken two inde-pendent study courses from the same pro-fessor, I have to � nd a new professor to ad-vise me in the coming semesters. I would like for the independent study classes I take to be with the theater department because it is the most relevant to the � eld I’m going into.� e independent study courses I’ve taken have been immensely valuable to me because they’ve given me the chance to look at comedy through an academic lens.

� ey’ve given me momentum and purpose behind what I’m doing. � ey’ve given me hope that, in a University that can’t even support one, single section of comedy writing (it was canceled due to lack of enrollment) there is a place for com-edy inside this institution.

I hope many departments see this letter and re-think their strategy when it comes the level of transparency they a� ord students who are seek-ing information on independent study courses.

LETTERS

Editor,

On Wednesday a letter was printed from a student who agreed with Rush Limbaugh that Sandra Fluke’s call for Georgetown University to pay for contraceptives is unconstitutional — a violation of the separation between church and state.

I applaud any student taking a stand, but the

facts are muddied here. � is is not a religious freedom issue. Georgetown, a Catholic institu-tion, covers contraceptives for faculty but not for students — that renders the morality and reli-gious freedom issues moot.

Secondly, the Catholic church clearly states that any use of contraceptives is morally wrong, yet more than 90 percent of Catholic families ad-mit that they use contraceptives and continue to receive communion and consider themselves practicing Catholics.

� e student writer refers to contraceptive use other than for medical reasons as “recreational.” All contraceptive use is medical- and health-

related. � e successful use of contraceptives is one of the best strategies to avoid unplanned pregnancies and abortions — whether by a college student or a long-term married couple.

Furthermore, raising the issue of the church’s belief in “natural law” is crazy. � e church and

some politicians believe that intercourse is strictly for the purpose of procreation. Fine if you

believe that — but don’t try to impose it on the rest of us.

Editor,

� e column published on Wednesday by Devon Stevens, “Art classi� cation is strictly subjective,” makes several good points, most importantly that art which has mass appeal is not without artistic merit.

Almost all of Italian opera is written for a mass audience, for example, and Mark Twain and Charles Dickens wrote great novels that appealed to a middle-class audience. Art which does not challenge the listener can, nevertheless, be very well done and enjoyable.

What I � nd disturbing is the spirit of anti-in-tellectualism that is found in the column. What does “high-class” art mean? If it is, as I assume,

art that is more challenging to the appreciator, I � nd it sad that Stevens would experience such a violent reaction to a work that it takes more than a surface observation to understand.

I will quote the great jazz pianist Bill Evans, who responded as such when asked why so many young people attended his concerts:

“I think some young people want a deeper ex-perience. Some people just want be hit over the head and, you know, if then they (get) hit hard enough maybe they’ll feel something. You know? But some people want to get inside of something and discover, maybe, more richness.

I think it will always be the same; they’re not going to be the great percentage of the people. A great percentage of the people don’t want a chal-lenge. � ey want something to be done to them — they don’t want to participate. But there’ll al-ways be, maybe as much as 15 percent of the population, who desire something more, and they’ll search it out — and maybe that’s where art

is, I think.”Participating in the act of art is crucial to a

deeper understanding and ultimately deeper en-joyment. I � nd it confusing and frankly arrogant of Stevens to deny “high-class” art and Moby Dick of artistic merit.

Now this is not to say everything that is chal-lenging to the appreciator has artistic merit. Ob-viously one must try to understand, and if it does not make sense even after repeated tries, one must try to make a coherent argument. Perhaps someone with more expertise on the subject will tell you what you should look for and you will � nd you understand and enjoy it after all. Or maybe not.

However, I will say Ke$ha may never be found to contain artistic merit. No matter how hard one looks.

High -concept art should not be so easily rejected

Editor,

� e conviction of Rutgers Univer-sity student Dharun Ravi for a “hate crime” against his white roommate, Ty-ler Clementi, is a misapplication of justice.Any college student might turn on his webcam on being asked to leave his shared room by his roommate, to bring in a male stranger for sex. � is stranger did not even know the “victim’s” last name: Clementi. � is stranger has been described as “sketchy, scru� y and homeless looking.”

I would, like Ravi, be scared my belongings would be stolen. I would want my webcam turned on full time while this stranger was there in my absence.But no, Ravi was convicted of “spying” by the Indian-hating New Jersey community, as represented by their jury conviction. � is is a state where hate crimes galore have been committed against the Indian community, starting with

the self-proclaimed “Dot-busters” which led to the beating to death of an Indian doctor on the street (for which a mistrial was suspiciously declared) and many more to this day. Instead of the American media warning the New Jersey population, especially the area in which Rutgers is located, to cool it, we have the likes of Time magazine columnist Joe Klein recently mocking the Indian presence in New Jersey.Amid this, we had a jury in the Clementi case, which has to have known before trial that Clementi had chosen to commit suicide. But the prosecution was cunning and decided not to bring Ravi up on a charge of involuntary manslaughter or anything, so the corresponding argument that Clementi was responsible for his own death could not be made in this trial.But the Jersey jury was already tainted. � ey wanted blood. And they found an easy, soft target in Ravi, an Indian immigrant who could be deported.

Now, after the fact, some American media are stereotyping the Indo-American community as a whole as being homophobic. � is false accusation is uniquely American, and comes from ignorance combined with an insular resistance to get over

one’s bigotry through a college education.� us, Indian culture not only has a long his-

tory of being accepting of gays, Hindus even have special occasions where groups of cross-dressing homosexuals parade through neigh-borhoods as part of respected religious ritual.Even in the case of Ravi, he has called his act a “joke.” He may even be gay himself; after all, what straight male has any interest in watching two men having sex? So where was the intimidation?What we have here more likely is one demographic group with a well-justi� ed agenda to abolish bully-ing of young gays in colleges condensing an activ-ist issue down to a vulnerable, brown-skinned im-migrant, whom they can easily make their fall guy.So like any classroom bully, they went af-ter someone who was clearly not a gay-hat-ing Christian fundamentalist because that would have brought upon them the politi-cal might of the All-American religious right.Twenty-year-olds like Ravi and his room-mate use webcams, cell phones and emails for all kinds of purposes that have nothing to do with intimidation, let alone bias. � ey take pictures of each other all the time and share them on the Internet for their friends to see.

But the parents of the younger generation, like Clementi’s, may not be that hip and up on this commonplace use for humor and gossip.

� ese reasons are why the Jersey communi-ty as a whole has in a sense committed a biased crime against Dharun Ravi, not Ravi against poor Tyler Clementi. It is hate crimes against hapless Indian immigrants in New Jersey that should be prosecuted with more vigor.

The baseball team has a chance to continue its undefeated start to MWC play this weekend when it goes up against a national opponent.

UNM takes on No. 19 Texas Christian University in a three-game home stand at Isotopes Park, with both teams tied atop the MWC, 3-0.

Sophomore first baseman DJ Peterson said the team plans on getting another three wins this weekend.

“We want to sweep them, that would be the ultimate outcome,” he said. “We want to beat them every time we play them. They are our biggest rival.”

The last time these two teams met was for the conference tourna-ment title last May. UNM defeated TCU 4-2 to receive an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

The Lobos began conference play last weekend with three straight wins over San Diego State, includ-ing coming back from a six-run def-icit in the final game.

It was their second straight sweep after beating then-No. 22 Gonzaga in all three games two weekends ago.

TCU will leave the MWC next season to join the Big 12

conference, and Peterson said the Lobos want what could be the teams’ final meeting to end with a victory for UNM.

“This is the last time we get to play them, so we want to send them off with a bang,” he said.

This past week Peterson was named MWC player of the week and junior Austin House was named pitcher of the week.

Peterson leads the MWC in eight batting categories, including the best batting average with .457, the most home runs with five and the most runs batted in with 21.

He was also named the re-gional player of the week by Baseball Insider.

“(Peterson) is now swinging the bat the way he knows how,” head coach Ray Birmingham said. “He tried to do too much early in the sea-son. Now he’s a little more relaxed and a little more comfortable.”

After a starting off the season a disappointing 2-9, including a sev-en-game losing streak, the Lobos have won six of their last seven games and now sit at 8-10.

The Horned Frogs come into the game at 11-7 and were on a nine-game winning streak be-fore losing to Texas State 8-4 on Tuesday.

TCU is led by Kyle Von Tungeln and

Josh Elander, who are batting .369 and .354, respectively. The pitching staff has a 3.16 ERA and opposing teams are only hitting .232 against the team.

Birmingham said his team needs to stop TCU’s offensive powers if it is to win the game.

“We’re starting to roll now. I think we’re very capable of match-ing up with them,” he said. “The Frogs love to hit in this yard. They’ve got great hitters and they can’t wait to get out and hit in this yard, so we better pitch well.”

The Sweet 16 curse continues, but not for long.

The men’s basketball team’s 2011-12 season ride made its last stop in the third round of the NCAA tournament with a 59-56 loss to Louisville Saturday in Portland, Ore.

The Lobos have made the round of 32 teams six of the last seven times they have taken part in the tourney, and, each time, UNM has fallen short of tasting the Sweet 16 — but that could change in two years.

Why two years? Why not next year?

Don’t get me wrong. Next sea-son, UNM will still compete.

Only three seniors were part of this season’s team — Drew Gordon, A.J. Hardeman and Phillip McDonald.

A fourth player, freshman Dominique Dunning, is leaving the program because of the lack of playing time.

But all the pieces can come to-gether in 2013 for a historic run.

To start, the Lobos need big men — but don’t worry, UNM is reloading.

The biggest hit the Lobos will take is Gordon.

The double-double machine dominated his opponents inside the paint and opened up space for the 3-point shooters on the outside.

This trend may continue if healthy, 6-foot 11-inch sophomore Alex Kirk will help fill the void left by the 6-foot 9-inch Mountain West Conference tournament’s most valuable player.

2013 will be a year of sweepsColumn

Kirk redshirted this year, miss-ing the entire season after under-going back surgery to relieve a herniated disk.

Head coach Steve Alford also recruited a 7-foot, 220-pound center in Obij Aget, who will be a big presence in the post.

Hardeman, the other start-ing big man who will graduate in May, is a 6-foot, 8-inch defensive specialist and was part of head coach Steve Alford’s team-orient-ed defense.

Sophomore Cameron Bairstow played some of his best basketball during the MWC tournament. He only averaged five points and just over four rebounds per game in the Lobos’ championship run, but Alford said he played quality minutes defensively — Hardeman’s staple.

Bairstow’s improvement from his freshman year to this year gives fans hope that the 6-foot 9-inch forward will only get better in his last two seasons.

Nick Banyard, a 6-foot 8-inch power forward, is another recruit who has potential to be a solid piece to the puzzle Alford is creat-ing for the future.

It may take a season for the big men to get acclimated into their new roles, but in 2013, all four big men should be ready to roll.

In the backcourt, McDonald and Dunning are departing this season.

The Lobos will miss McDonald’s bench production with his quick release and sharp-shooting from 3-point, along with his length on defense. Dunning played hardly any minutes, so the Lobos lose nothing there.

There is no question the back-court of the Lobos is set.

Sophomores Kendall Wil-liams, Tony Snell, Demetri-us Walker and freshman Hugh Greenwood displayed their tal-ent throughout the season and all will play plenty of minutes for the rest of their careers.

Just imagine, because of this, how good the Lobos could be in 2013.

Williams, Snell, Walker, Bair-stow and Kirk will be seniors. Greenwood will most likely have had two full years of point guard under his belt. Aget and Banyard will have had a full season to ad-just to college play.

And the kicker: If Gordon’s little brother Aaron, ESPN’s No. 3 high school prospect in the country for 2013, chooses to fol-low Drew’s footsteps, his im-mediate impact on an already stacked UNM team help the Lobos over the hump into the Sweet 16 and beyond.

In a sense, next year will be part rebuilding, part champion-ship run.

I can already picture next season.

The Lobos will win 20-plus games for the sixth-straight time under Alford, and will compete for a MWC regular-season title. A berth into the NCAA tournament will be determined by how suc-cessful the team is in the confer-ence tournament.

And then the fun starts. 2013 will be sweet.
