Former UNM student Colin Bentley, last seen by his mother Nov. 29, was spotted in Parish Library on Tuesday.

A witness said Bentley was sleeping in the library. He was able to get into the building, which remains open 24 hours, using his Lobo ID card. A Parish staff member found Bentley at about 4 p.m., a witness said, and a UNMPD report was filed.

The University is gearing up for UNM Day at the Legislature on Jan. 31, when University rep-resentatives will lobby lawmakers not to raise tu-ition as a means to alleviate budget shortfalls.

Today, at 9 a.m., the House Education Com-mittee will hear higher education recommenda-tions for fi scal year 2012, and the meeting will be webcast on the New Mexico legislative website.

ASUNM Chief of Staff Michael Thorning said his group’s No. 1 priority is to ensure no tuition credit is passed during the 60-day session.

“The tuition credit acts more like a tax on stu-dents,” Thorning said. “It is a way for the Legisla-ture to reduce the University’s overall allocation and divert funds to other programs.”

Considered a legal alternative to cannabis, synthetic marijuana is creating controversy surrounding its safety.

Fifteen states banned smoke shops from selling K2 Spice, the most popular synthetic marijuana

brand, because of reports that us-ers experienced intense nausea, increased heart rate and seizures.

Albuquerque user Gabriella Pe-dregon, 19, said the experience was intense, but nothing she couldn’t handle. She said she � rst smoked Spice with a friend who was on probation.

means of relaxation. “I would encourage students to

turn to doing some meditation or just reading a book,” she said. “I would certainly advise against us-ing Spice, and maybe trying some more holistic ways to feel better. I think that these are better alter-natives and less expensive than Spice.”

Tolpiyine Simbola, 22, said the substitute doesn’t look like marijuana.

“It doesn’t smell like it, but it gets you high,” he said. “It gave me a longer high than marijuana did.”

In local smoke shops, K2 Spice is sold as herbal or botanical in-cense, because of Drug Enforce-ment Administration regulations. It comes in bright, tea-bag-sized packages and is sold under color-ful names like King Kong, Route 69, Texas Tea, Mystic Monkey Potpour-ri and iBlown.

Each brand says it won’t show up on a drug test, and University Smoke Shop representative Alex Demooy said that’s one reason the product is in demand

“Most people who want it are on probation,” he said. “They don’t want to test positive.”

Prices range from $8-$15 a gram. Most packs contain two to five grams.

The DEA is taking steps to ban

Representatives. If passed by the House and Sen-

ate, a proposition would be placed on the ballot that would give voters the option to lock marriage into a le-gal definition between one man and one woman. Espinoza has intro-duced the bill each year since 2007.

Rep. Dennis Kintigh (R-Roswell), a member on the committee, said he will support the measure to ensure children will have the opportunity to be raised in a household with a mother and a father.

“If you just have one gender in the residence, the child is missing out on the interaction between both genders,” Kintigh said. “It’s like they are missing a portion of the pie.”

LGBTQ Resource Center repre-sentative Jeffrey Waldo said Kin-tigh’s statements are false.

“There is no factual evidence that a child raised in a household with a mother and father is better off than a child who is raised by a single gen-der,” he said.

Passing this legislation would deny basic human rights to certain communities, an Equality New Mexico news release said.

“Everyone who is married, and everyone who dreams of one day becoming so, knows that marriage is a public way of declaring your undying support and love for one another, in good times and bad,” Equality New Mexico President

Todd McElroy said.With the legislation, Espinoza

wants to ensure New Mexicans get to determine the social issue, not legislators.

“It’s not a partisan issue,” she said. “Hispanics and Catholics are very, very strong about family val-ues and would support this issue at the polls.”

Waldo said New Mexico vot-ers would not support the DOMA if it were placed on the ballot. He said New Mexicans are more open-minded than that.

“Family includes LGBTQ fami-lies,” he said. “The rights of mar-riage should be extended to those families, as well.”

the synthetic cannabinoids that mimic THC’s side effects.

The active ingredient in Spice that makes users feel high is Can-nabicyclohexanol, according to a 2009 study from the University of Freiburg in Germany.

Simbola said he didn’t experi-ence any side effects after smoking Spice, but said he has a high toler-ance to marijuana.

“Honestly, it tastes like you smoked a plant,” he said. “It’s eas-ily available, and it’s cheaper. You honestly just need a little bit to get high.”

Manufacturers change the com-position of their products because legally the product cannot be chemically similar to THC. Pfizer created synthetic cannabinoid JWH 018, according to WebMD.com.

The synthetic cannabinoids bind to the body’s cannabinoid re-ceptors tighter than THC because, while THC only partially binds to regulators of body function, most of the synthetic cannabinoids acti-vate the receptor fully, according to the website.

Editor,Vice President for Enrollment Manage-

ment Carmen Alvarez Brown is a cancer to the University.

Last week she sent an e-mail to seniors welcoming us to the University and thanking us for the con� dence we placed in UNM. � is e-mail also informed seniors that LOBO Trax “is an outstanding resource available to you to determine if courses that interest you work in your degree program.” Unfortunately, this is standard performance for Brown.

Last spring I was a telecounselor. My job was to call new admits and answer their UNM questions.

Carmen yelled at us because enrollment rates were down. She remedied the situa-tion by having us call students who received their rejection letter, the parents of deceased children, students who we had already called more than six times and students who were no longer on track to graduate high school.

� is made people mad. I know; they told me. When a bad economy forced people to go back to school, she said it was because of our aggressive call campaigns.

How will she spin this � asco? Maybe, “I’m pleased with the increase in graduation rates. I chalk it up to our aggressive e-mail campaign that made seniors feel welcome.”

Casey EchternachtUNM student

Editor,I am writing to you in response to a let-

ter written by Philip Lafreniere, concern-ing the publication of the comic strip, “Lakewood.”

I found his letter unsettling, and many other students did, as well.

“The comic strip that you publish called ‘Lakewood’ lacks any level of humor and as such to me is a waste of space.” I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but he fails to justify his arguments. I doubt the Daily Lobo just caters to Lafreniere’s tastes, and for someone to go this far and say someone’s artistic and comedic work is a waste of space is unprofessional.

Beyond that point, I believe that the Daily Lobo publishing Nathan Rackley’s comic strip was a good choice. Publish-ing a comic strip written by a UNM student promotes exactly what universities should be promoting: having students strive for their dreams. As such, I find the Daily Lobo a fantastic print publication. It is up to the Daily Lobo staff to decide what goes into the paper. I felt I had to write a response to such a poorly written argument.

Aggressive tactics used to increase enrollment numbers

‘Lakewood’ really funny, deserves credit and space

by Peggy Spencer, MDDaily Lobo Columnist

Did you make a resolution to eat healthier this year? I did. I usually do, after the season of stu� ng that just passed. I sure love roast turkey and pie a la mega-mode, but oof! Talk about too much of a good thing! I feel like I need a month just to digest. If you too want to mend your wicked food ways, here are some general tips to guide you.

� e healthiest diet is plant based. � at means heavy on the fruits and vegetables. Eating plants has been shown to result in less cancer, less heart disease and more years of living. Release your inner bovine. Graze. Munch. Eat fresh vegetables, raw or cooked, and fresh fruit as much as possible. Try to include all colors of the spectrum. � at way you’ll get a good variety. Aim for seven to nine servings a day and you’ll be on track for maxi-mum health.

Next up: whole grains, pasta and legumes. Whole means not processed. Grains are made from the seeds of various grasses. Each seed is composed of the bran, which is the outer shell and contains most of the � ber, the germ, which is the fertile and nutrient-dense center that forms a new grass sprout, and the kernel, which is the biggest but least nutritious part. Whole grains have all their parts. Processed grains have had the bran and the germ re-

moved, leaving only the kernel. Examples of whole grains are brown rice, wild rice, buck-wheat groats, barley, quinoa and steel-cut oats. � is stu� is great for the digestion, helps prevent heart disease, and keeps you oh-so regular.

Pasta is best in moderation, made from whole wheat, and cooked “al dente”, which is loose Italian for � rm, not mushy. Pasta cooked al dente has a lower glycemic index. � is means the carbs in it break down slow-ly and won’t make your blood sugar spike up as far and fast as, say, cookies, which have a high glycemic index. Too many sugar spikes are like the boy who cried wolf: eventually your body might stop listening and lose its ability to handle sugar well. Result? Diabetes and obesity just for starters. Low glycemic is the way to go. Toss your � rm pasta with some steamed vegetables, drizzle on olive oil, and top with high-quality natural grated cheese. Buon appetito!

Legumes are a class of vegetables that in-cludes beans, peas and lentils. � ese are some of the most versatile and nutritious foods around. � ey are typically low in fat, contain no cholesterol, and are high in folate, potas-sium, iron and magnesium. � ey also contain bene� cial fats and soluble and insoluble � -ber. A good source of protein, legumes can be

a healthy substitute for meat, which is higher in fat and cholesterol. Beans are your friend. Believe it.

After legumes on the list are healthy fats like nuts and olive oil, as well as � sh. Fish contains the famous omega-3 fatty acids, su-perhero � ghters of many health problems from cancer to arthritis. If you can’t stomach � sh twice a week, take a � sh oil supplement instead.

Last and least is animal protein. � at means go easy on the burgers, bud. � ey’re just not good for you. Too much fat, too many antibiotics and hormones, not enough nu-trition. Same goes for most dairy products, which are best taken as low-fat, organic milks and cheeses.

Filling in the cracks are vitamins and sup-plements, and topping o� the whole thing is my personal favorite, dark chocolate. Mind, the chocolate is at the tip-top of the pyramid, recommended at only about one ounce a day, but I consider myself lucky it’s on there at all. As for the vitamins and supplements, I recom-mend you start with a daily multivitamin and consult your health provider for more advice.

Water is not technically a food, but it is a crucial part of your diet, especially here in the high desert. Carry a water bottle with you, and drink from it all day long.

For a more detailed look at a good healthy food pyramid, see www.drweil.com.

And remember, small, slow changes stick best in the long run. Good luck!

The recent redux of the website Myspace raises the question: Whose space is it, anyway?

Like most of the population, I al-most forgot about Myspace, or as it goes by these days My ______. The for-mer titan of social media only entered my consciousness because I was do-ing research on a local artist who mi-raculously still had a page.

Curious, I went to the homepage, and realized the space these days is a landfill of failed attempts to revitalize the social media relic.

Ads for Megan Fox in lingerie, a Chinese elephant man and features on Natalie Portman’s laugh littered the page. There were claims to top bands with Rise Against as the top rock band, or the top single from Ke-dollar sign-ha. Guns ‘N’ Roses was another popular band, non-ironically from what I can tell. Yet another was a contest for a barbecue grill (really). A little more probing revealed even greater depths of trashiness.

I logged into my profile, after strug-gling to remember the damn pass-word for a good 15 minutes, and was greeted by an improved newsfeed. The top of the list? An article all about Oprah Winfrey and farther down one all about Taylor Lautner.

Granted, Myspace users, or los-ers as they call themselves these days, can customize their feed to focus on whichever celebrity or band they would like, and I suppose the most popular celebrities automatically fill the feed with no input. However, this

system sucks. The suckitude of Myspace might

be attributed to its redesign last June. Or it could be because the company just laid off 47 percent of the work-force. Or it could be because no one on the planet uses Myspace anymore.

Pardon, that’s not quite true. Last year, according to comsCore

Inc., Myspace reported about 55 mil-lion users, a 9 million decrease from the previous year. Whether that takes into account dead profiles, and ones that are still around but no longer used like mine, is questionable.

I do know when I logged in, my friend count was 23, down about 50 since the last time I checked. I also know when I checked the statuses from my friends, about 20 percent said they had left Myspace for Fa-cebook, and the rest were from two years ago.

Out of all of them, one or two were updates (by which I mean only a month or two old).

Out of curiosity, I then checked to see if Myspace had a Facebook. It does, and it has about 437,562 fans. However, most of the comments on the wall are all about how much the new Myspace sucks.

This outrage over the redesign is by no means isolated. A group in Eng-land has even gone so far as to try to create a group to buy Myspace from its owner, News Corp Digital Media. The group collected about £13915 thus far ($22,183 in real money). Ob-viously, the group has a long way to go, but its effort is a poignant state-ment about the fallen nature of the site: Some people still care.

I did more searching after figur-ing this out. Myspace is still a hot spot for fledgling bands just getting their music out there, and I suppose some people still use it for social network-ing, though I don’t really know any-one who does.

By and large, though, it’s become just another place to track bands and celebrities, services already offered on every corner of the Internet. The website seems to be adopting the idea that original content isn’t necessary so long as it has the name “Myspace” to go along with it.

Some popular comments from the site BuyMyspace.org include, “We are asking people to not accept that they cannot control what they use online, return to MySpace, but on your terms, ‘OurSpace’ ‘YourSpace,’ your rules.” Basically, they want complete control over their profile, a service already of-fered by Facebook.

Don’t get me wrong. I have fond memories of using the

site back in high school. It was a good introduction to the Internet world, but then I remembered the shitty parts of Myspace. Flash animations on every page, and even worse, friend rankings that could devalue a person’s self-worth with a simple rearrangement.

There’s a reason Myspace went the way of the dinosaurs, though the an-cient reptiles lasted longer. And while I don’t know the exact reason why it failed, besides Facebook kicking its ass, I do know more semi-nude pic-tures of Katy Perry or the Kardashian sisters is probably not going to save it.

Put in some semi-nude pictures of Penelope Cruz, and we’ll talk.

No more space for Myspace

Associated Press

LONDON — Artistic genius may sometimes teeter on the brink of madness, but in the case of 19th-century romantic composer Fred-eric Chopin, some doctors have a more straightforward explanation: epilepsy.

During his lifetime, Chopin’s tendency to drift off while at the piano was interpreted by his part-ner George Sand as “the manifes-tation of a genius full of sentiment and expression.” But in a new anal-ysis published this week, Spanish doctors say Chopin’s hallucina-tions may have been due to a tem-poral lobe epilepsy rather than the result of any sweeping artistic tendencies.

Manuel Vazquez Caruncho and Francisco Branas Fernandez of the Complexo Hospitalario Xeral-Cal-de in Spain analyzed descriptions of Chopin’s hallucinations from those close to him. They propose the French-Polish composer suf-

fered from a type of epilepsy that produces conscious hallucinations that last from seconds to minutes. The research was published in the journal Medical Humanities, a specialist publication of the Brit-ish Medical Journal.

Caruncho and Fernandez cite an extract from Sand’s memoir, where she recalls returning to the home she shared with Chopin, along with her son, after a long journey delayed by flooding. The composer had been playing one of his preludes and told Sand he was lulled to sleep while at the piano and saw himself drowned at the bottom of a lake.

Hallucinations are typically seen in patients with severe psy-chiatric disorders like schizophre-nia and bipolar disorder. Other romantic composers such as Rob-ert Schumann, who was commit-ted to an asylum, experienced auditory and visual hallucina-tions which some believed were the product of his musical genius.

Caruncho and Fernandez say Chopin’s hallucinations occurred mostly in the evening or coincided with fever, unlike those linked to psychotic disorders.

While Chopin was plagued by health ailments, including tuber-culosis, severe headaches and in-somnia, there is no record he was diagnosed with any neurological problems. Caruncho and Fernan-dez suggest that because Chopin was able to recall his complex hal-lucinations in detail, they could have been caused by a temporal lobe epilepsy. They acknowledge that without brain imaging or oth-er tests, proving it will be nearly impossible.

“We doubt that another diagno-sis ... will help us understand the artistic world of Frederic Chopin,” Caruncho and Fernandez wrote. “But we do believe knowing he had (epilepsy) could help to sep-arate romanticized legend from reality.”
