In the Wild West of UNM journalism, there’s a new gunslinger in town — albeit a friendly one.

U News, a Web-based TV station, has been broadcasting once a week starting this semester, said founder and news director Dan Martinez.

Martinez said U News is available only on the group’s Facebook page, which is linked to Unews.unm.edu. He said U News plans to start broadcast-ing on televisions in the SUB as early as next week.

U News has been completely student-directed from the start, Martinez said.

Martinez said he sees the project as an addi-tion to the news projects operating at UNM, not as a competitor.

“I don’t see us as competing against the Daily Lobo or UNM Today,” he said. “� ere’s no reason the Daily Lobo can’t work with us, no reason we can’t just have a TV outlet for this.”

FY2011, no one knew the impact it would have.

“The downturn in the economy has been quicker than anybody an-ticipated and more extreme than we anticipated,” he said. “But we did an-ticipate it.”

However, Koch said in 2008 that it was unlikely that in the future UNM would receive more funding for projects.

“It is going to be difficult for UNM to get funds for new capital projects,” he said.

Administrators forged on with new projects despite predictions of reduced funding by adding on new hires and contracting some new projects.

Turner said that now that the Legislature has cut funding, UNM can no longer afford to employ so

many people.“We have nobody left on contract

and we have to lay off some of the people that we hired,” he said.

UNM has 63 active capital projects, about 30 percent less than in previous years, Beffort said.

“This year we should break even,” he said “As we build next year’s bud-get, we know that next year’s budget will be several million dollars short if we do not address it right now.”

Beffort said that if voters don’t ap-prove the general obligation bonds, approved by the Legislature during the special session, the problem will further escalate.

“General obligation bonds are very critical to supporting next year’s budget,” he said. “Without those, it is going to create additional problems.”

Beffort said the Human Resources

Department hopes to ease the tran-sition for employees who are los-ing their jobs by giving them 90 days notice and working to help them gain employment elsewhere in the University.

Turner said it will be difficult to handle the workload without the em-ployees the department is losing, but over the next six months, projects will conclude and there will be less work.

“When you lose six people, cover-ing for them, at least in the short term, is a challenge,” he said.

Turner said the department will continue to see a decrease in projects for the near future.

“At the moment, we don’t see an increasing work load for at least a couple of years,” he said. “After that, we hope it stabilizes and upturns, but we don’t have a vision out that far.”

from all over the world. The group is made up of two en-

gineering students, two MBA stu-dents, and Saad, a College of Ed-ucation graduate student. UNM professors also mentored the students.

Kassicieh said that the business plan is just the first step. He said the group will still be involved in mar-keting the product after its return

from ISC. The technology uses GPU — or

graphic processing units. This is the same technology that is used in graphic design, but can speed up a normal computer’s “brain,” said Greg Scantlen, Creative Consul-tants CEO.

“It’s really a frontier technology at this point,” he said.

Saad said it was challenging to

bring this technology from a small company in Albuquerque to be available worldwide through the Internet.

He said the group will also com-pete in the upcoming Anderson Technology Business Plan Com-petition. He said that if his group wins, the up-to $25,000 in prize money will help finance the group’s flights and housing in Germany.

may not get a lot of coverage,” he said. Reporter Shane McDonald

said election coverage is one of the most valuable services U News has provided.

“Just recently we’ve been having a couple interviews with the guys run-ning for student government, and I think that’s one of the most beneficial things,” he said.

McDonald said he thinks the sta-tion is important to UNM because it lets students practice the skills need-ed for broadcast journalism.

“A lot of other big-time Universi-ties have their own news shows,” he said. “As a broadcast major, for me, it gives me a lot of experience.”

Martinez said there’s an impor-tant difference between producing a news show as a classroom project and making a show that will be broadcast to whoever wants to watch it.

“I did my first internship with a small TV station in South Dako-ta, and I saw a huge gap between doing these projects in class and going out into the real world and

doing it,” he said. “I thought this would be a good way to bridge the gap.”

Martinez said U News does not get funding from UNM and uses equipment that’s already available in the communications and jour-nalism department.

“Right now, there is no funding. We use all the equipment C and J already had. We use their studio,” he said. “If we want business cards or a new backdrop or something, that comes out of our pockets.”

Editor,As a staff employee at UNM for nine years

now, I’m still constantly stunned by students and staff that call the entire Center for the Arts complex “Popejoy Hall.”

In the April 6 edition on page 5, the caption under the picture reads “sits in the shadows of Theatre X in Popejoy Hall on Monday.”

Popejoy Hall, built in 1966 as UNM’s hand-

shake to the city as a 2,000-seat performing arts center, is but one of four venues in the Center for the Arts. Popejoy Hall itself runs as an auxiliary enterprise of the University, hav-ing its own staff of 18 and dozens of students working in and operating in the theatre.

Theatre X is operated as an academic unit as part of the UNM Theatre and Dance pro-gram and is quite a distance from Popejoy Hall.

It’s a losing battle for us to keep our own identity. Even the current map of the Uni-versity shows the entire Center for the Arts

as “Popejoy Hall” on the graphics page. Al-though the detail by building number lists all the departments and venues in the Center for the Arts — of which Popejoy Hall is but one of many.

It would be great if this misinformation could be quelled, but in the long run, at least people know the name “Popejoy Hall,” if not the purpose!

We all have had some experiences as kids growing up that make us apprehensive about facing life.

I never thought that marbles would scare me to death. I nearly choked on a marble when I was 4 years old. And from then on I have had a negative association with the little glass devils. Now that I’m older I have some new fears that I never expected.

Fear is one of those complex emotions that can stop individuals from doing what they want to do. Or even stop them from trying. In less than a month, I will have to face the un-certainty of the future — that fear of graduat-ing from college and moving on with life.

Six years at UNM will end. Fear is occu-pying my thoughts, causing me to act illogi-cally because there’s so much to do and think about.

Normally, I don’t worry about something in the moment. But as I’ve gotten older, my anxiety has increased particularly when it comes to career choices. No one wants to be stuck in a bad career or dead-end job.

I view myself as the black sheep of my family. My parents are super organized about sticking to their five-year goals. They plan out their days. My older sister knew what she wanted to do with her life right out of college and went and did it. And me, I don’t know what I’m going to do. My parents get frustrat-ed with me and tell me, “You have no focus.”

I hate the word focus.How can I focus if I don’t even know what

the right choice is? What if I make the wrong choice or find I’m not good enough for what I want to do? I guess this doesn’t make sense since I’ve been working in publications for four years. But even after years of experience in one field, I still feel unsure.

A new CNN Money report said that new college graduates have 40 percent fewer job prospects in this job market.

I talked to a friend about applying to graduate school because the job market is so competitive. Developing additional skills would make me a more attractive job can-didate. The perfect program for me is in New York City at the Pratt Institute. It of-fers a two-year program for full-time stu-dents. The curriculum runs $12,000 a se-mester, which would be close to $50,000 for the entire program. That total does not in-clude living expenses, which would be ex-pensive. It’s not the price that’s holding me back — that’s what loans and scholarships are for. It’s the fear of not being accepted to the school.

It’s a really good school and how do I know if I’m really that good? This is a ques-tion that has plagued me recently. I was talking to my other friend and I realized that there are thousands of people graduating that want to do exactly what I want to do.

I want to use design elements with words and pictures to make the story jump off the page, catching the reader’s attention in a split second. This school best combines those things.

But in the following tale, these students’ fears are way more legit:

I wrote an article last year about two stu-dents who survived cancer. One had thy-roid cancer, the other had lymphoma. Their treatments were so intense that it was very difficult for them to attend school, yet they still found a way. The feature focused on their challenges and triumphs with the help of faith, friends and families.

The interviews chilled my socks off be-cause they were best friends and because they were so young. Listening to their bat-tles put life into perspective, and I felt it was important to tell their stories. I encapsu-lated their story using photographs and de-sign to evoke dramatic emotional responses from my readers.

And that’s what journalism is all about. I wouldn’t be so nervous if I had the op-

portunity to start college over. I would grad-uate in four years instead of six. I would strive for better grades and a higher stan-dard, because grades do matter.

I would take the right classes (I didn’t de-cide my major until late in my junior year). I would know how to plan my class schedule, when to take classes and utilize summer school. I would actually finish my second major in economics.

In retrospect, I can look back over these six years knowing that I’ve accomplished more than I originally expected coming into college. Yes, I took those intro classes and found them to be rather fun. Although I didn’t devote much time to extracurricular activities, I did find my passion, journalism. This is the field that I will be pursuing, as this journey ends and a new one begins.

of Zimmerman today, thinking about how un-fortunate it is that UNM cannot hire another history professor so I can take that one class I still need for my Ph.D. Planning what I can do to squeeze a few hundred bucks out of the college to attend an academic conference and deciding which of the campus’s newly reno-vated snack bars I should visit to refill my mug. Then I noticed it, a big ugly monstrosity of a sign.

Here’s what it said, in all its digital glory:”Welcome to the UNM SUB!3:14 p.m.80 F”Are you kidding? Who the hell thought

of this? Let’s go through just two of the problems.

First, the sign is ugly. I remember when I was in Paris and I saw the Louvre off in the dis-tance for the first time and beheld with horror that glass pyramid which was being plopped in the midst of those beautiful Baroque build-ings as if some remnant of a space-race satel-lite had crash landed there by unfortunate ac-cident. I’ve managed to become provisionally convinced that this addition has some sort of architectural merit that is beyond my skill to understand, but I doubt that a big screen on a pole with wires falling about will ever meet even this minimal level of justification. If we really needed some new carrier of informa-tion, did anyone consider, I don’t know, may-be Adobe?

Second, the sign is useless. I’m pretty sure any passerby could identify the adjacent build-ing as the SUB by looking at any number of al-ready existing signs. As for the time, I would bet that, with all the iPods, cell phones or lap-tops, and, forgive me for bringing up more ancient technology — watches, an intrep-id student could easily discover the current time without undue intellectual strain. And the temperature, well, for the benefit of those who have not developed the skill to estimate temperature through the senses, I would have made myself available at any time to donate to the college $5.95 and head over to Walmart to buy a thermometer which could be stuck to any number of available surfaces.

Of course, I expect that the sign will get oth-er uses. Perhaps it will make announcements. Here are some future potentialities:

UNM hires another vice presidentPersonal typist also hiredOther news: Tuition increasingOrUNM ceases granting degreesUNM president says:“It’s still a nice place to hang out!”OrReports of student demonstrations exag-

gerated everyone remain calm

I therefore change my position. Way to go, whoever made that decision! I just hope we get a good snowfall next year. That sign will make a good target.

Announcing the new...

by Ryan TomariDaily Lobo

Ray Birmingham pays little at-tention to BYU’s stat sheet or depth chart.

Tell the Lobos’ head coach that the Cougars are 13-14 overall, he’ll tell you otherwise.

“BYU’s record is way misleading,” Birmingham said.

As is the UNM baseball team’s own record.

After UNM defeated then-No. 1 Texas to begin the season, expecta-tions soared for the program. After taking two of three from UNLV in Las Vegas, UNM is 19-10 overall and 6-3 in the Mountain West Conference, heading into Thursday’s series open-er with the Cougars.

“It’s like we’re 19-10 and people are going, ‘What’s the matter with you?’” Birmingham said.

If anything, the Cougars started off on opposite tracks, losing their first four games, but they’ve since gone 13-10 since February 25 and have shown signs of life in the bat-ter’s box, with a .379 team batting average.

On the mound, freshman Mark Anderson is slated to start Thursday’s game for the Cougars. Anderson is 1-0 this season, with an earned run average of 5.83 in seven appearances for BYU.

In 20 innings of work, Anderson has walked three more batters then he has struck out – 14 walks to 11 strikeouts – and allowed batters to hit .342.

The Lobos, too, have struggled in the bullpen and had patches of spot-ty play in the starting rotation during part of the season.

Birmingham said he’s not as con-cerned about the quality of pitching anymore.

“Pitching is getting better, a lot better,” he said. “I thought, except for one pitch, we should have swept the series (against UNLV). We’ve pitched a lot better.”

Of those who have helped turn UNM’s pitching woes around in the last few weeks is senior Willy Kesler.

In his last two starts, Kesler has been superb. He is 2-0. In his last performance, Kesler pitched 7.1 in-nings, fanning five batters and allow-ing two earned runs.

“He has been outstanding the last two times out,” Birmingham said.

Even better considering what he’s endured lately.

Before his return to the UNM pitching staff in 2010, Kesler had Tommy John surgery, which he said took a huge toll on him mentally.

Not only that but Birmingham said he stripped Kesler of his schol-arship and put it “back in the bank,” until Kesler recently earned it back.

“I messed around and was pret-ty upset about how I was playing,” Kesler said. “My grades starting last spring — they dropped. Coach pulled my scholarship. I had to pull out stu-dent loans and stuff like that.”

But Kesler raised his GPA from a 2.1 to better than 3.0 average last fall, which earned him his scholarship back.

“I busted my tail in the fall with support from my parents,” Kesler said. “It was frustrating with money and everything in this day and age. It was definitely stressful, sitting there thinking, ‘You know, where am I go-ing to come up with this money for class?’ It was an eye-opener type thing.”

Turnaround in time for series opener

By Aaron BeardAssociated Press

DURHAM, N.C. — The scene was almost perfect. The championship trophy was back. Fans had nearly packed Cameron Indoor Stadium to welcome Duke home after another national championship run. Even the arena’s scoreboards displayed Monday night’s final score.

Only one thing was missing for Mike Krzyzewski.

“It’s good to be home, it’s good to be in Cameron, and it’s good to see that score,” the Hall of Fame coach told the crowd before gesturing to the rafters. “It’ll be even better to see a fourth banner up there.”

About 9,000 fans greeted the team when it returned to campus Tuesday afternoon, less than 24 hours after the Blue Devils held off Butler 61-59 in Indianapolis to win the program’s fourth national title.

That victory kicked off a long celebration on the Durham cam-pus, starting with thousands of stu-dents gathering around a bonfire on a quad near the Duke Chapel early Tuesday. The party was still going later in the afternoon with the team climbing onto a stage in Cameron in front of a banner reading “Welcome Home NCAA Champs!!!”

The school had waited nine years for this title and hadn’t been to the Final Four since 2004, a drought by the program’s lofty stan-dards that had some questioning

whether Duke had slipped. But now the Blue Devils are celebrating just as they did when teams led by play-ers like Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, Grant Hill, Jason Williams and Shane Battier claimed titles.

“I’ve been doing this here at Duke for 30 years,” Krzyzewski said through a hoarse voice. “This is as good of a group of guys as I’ve coached here in 30 years.”

The team arrived about an hour late, which allowed fans the chance to watch a replay of Monday night’s game on the scoreboard screens or shop for championship T-shirts. Their biggest cheers — until the team arrived, anyway — came when the screens showed live news cov-erage of the team arriving at near-by Raleigh-Durham International Airport and then taking the bus to campus.

They waited in a nearby hallway for the replay of Gordon Hayward’s half-court shot to again bounce off the backboard, then carom off the rim and fall to the floor at the horn before walking on stage.

“I know it took four years,” senior Lance Thomas said, “but four years is worth another banner.”

The crowd of supporters in-cluded football coach David Cutc-liffe and women’s basketball coach Joanne P. McCallie, while fans filled most of the upstairs level and packed a standing-room only area on the court at the base of the stage. Freshman Andre Dawkins carried

the NCAA championship trophy and held it throughout the ceremo-ny, while the players stood behind Krzyzewski as he addressed the crowd at the podium.

“I’m so speechless right now,” said junior Nolan Smith, who teamed with fellow junior Kyle Sin-gler and senior Jon Scheyer to form the high-scoring “Big Three” that led Duke’s offense. “It meant so much to me and my family to be a part of something special. Now we’re going to hang another ban-ner in Cameron. That’s what I came to Duke to do.”

The crowd also took the oppor-tunity to try and persuade Singler — the most outstanding player at the Final Four — to stick around for his final season instead of entering the NBA draft.

“One more year!” they chanted when he came to the podium to speak.

Singler didn’t respond to the chants.

“I think for me and for you guys, just enjoy this and just have fun,” he told them. “That’s what we’ve been doing throughout the whole season.”

As for Krzyzewski, he remained fixated on that soon-to-be added banner.

“When you look up,” he said, “all of us would want you to say to your-self and to whomever you’re with: ‘That’s when my team — our team — won the national championship.’”
