Albuquerque’s Oct. 6 mayoral election is fast approaching, and the non-partisan election has become a competition between Mayor Martin Chávez, Richard Romero, and Rich-ard “R.J.” Berry.

� e people of Albuquerque ques-tioned the candidates Wednesday night in a debate at the National His-panic Cultural Center. Media groups KNME, KUNM, � e New Mexico In-dependent and the Weekly Alibi host-ed the debate.

� e candidates answered ques-tions that were developed by the pan-el of representatives from the four media outlets as well as some collect-ed by camera, � e New Mexico Inde-pendent’s live blog and the audience.

� e candidates’ answers indicated they have similar priorities for their administrations but di� erent ideas of how to accomplish their goals.

Berry’s campaign platform em-phasizes transparent government. He listed his top three priorities as pub-lic safety, education and combating unemployment.

“� ere is a common thread with the people I’ve had discussions with,” Berry said. “People want to feel safe in

As of Wednesday, both the un-dergraduate and graduate student government bodies support having Veterans Day o� at UNM.

ASUNM passed the Veterans day resolution during Wednesday’s sen-ate meeting, after the Graduate and Professional Student Association passed the same bill Aug. 31.

In the � nal ASUNM vote, 10 sen-ators were in favor of the redrafted resolution, four were against, and there was one abstention.

� e Student Veterans of UNM presented the resolution at an ASUNM meeting two weeks ago, but it was sent back to the Steering and Rules Committee for editing. � e committee changed the word-ing in several places and added

attribution to statistics in the resolution.

Senator Laz Cardenas pre-sented the revised resolution on Wednesday to ASUNM on behalf of the Student Veterans of UNM.

“We changed a part of a sen-tence that said ‘our nation’s true heroes’ to ‘some of our nation’s true heroes,’” Cardenas said.

One part of the resolution that said, “Whereas veterans attend-ing the University of New Mexico earn over $6 million in benefits for graduate and undergraduate stud-ies per semester,” was taken out.

“We took out this sentence be-cause we weren’t sure of the plau-sibility of this number,” Cardenas said.

Cardenas said that such a res-olution is not law — it just shows that the undergraduate student

body is in favor of having a day off from school to observe Veterans Day.

Senator Alyssa Rivera voted against the Veterans Day resolu-tion. She said the wording that gives veterans full credit for free-dom in America still wasn’t right. She said people who do diplomatic work, students who study abroad and nongovernmental organiza-tions all contribute to freedom as well as those in the military.

be changed to not being paid for entirely in that way. We should rec-ognize the sacrifice and blood that these people shed in contributing to freedom but not (their) being completely responsible for it.”

Zack Mutchler, president of the Student Veterans of UNM, said he doesn’t mind the changes that were made, because the integrity of the resolution was intact. The Student Veterans will take their resolution to the faculty senate as their next step, he said.

“The student governments at UNM represent their constituents, which are 28,000 to 30,000 stu-dents,” Mutchler said. “These res-olutions basically let the Faculty Senate know that the student body is behind us in this.”

Mutchler said the Faculty Sen-ate presents the academic calen-dar to the Board of Regents, and the regents have the final word on the observance of Veterans Day.

Mutchler said the support of both ASUNM and GPSA will help their case at the Faculty Senate meeting.

“UNM exists because of stu-dents and UNM is here to serve students — that’s the entire

purpose of a university,” Mutch-ler said. “With that in mind, argu-ments about cost, HR problems, labor disputes or things of that na-ture need to be put aside, need to be worked through and amended so the University can service the students. Now, they can see the students are asking for this day of observance.”

Faculty Senate President Doug-las Fields said the organization hasn’t yet taken a stance on a Vet-erans Day holiday.

“We’ve discussed it briefly. We haven’t actually written a resolu-tion yet,” he said. “What we’re go-ing to do is write a resolution that supports Veterans Day and leave the discussion about what the hol-idays are to the Faculty/Staff Ben-efits Committee. So, we certainly support the idea of a veterans hol-iday in recognition of the veterans, but we think the idea of whether or not we’ll take that day off needs more discussion.”

Fields said the Faculty/Staff Benefits Committee deals with pay, benefits and days off, and they would like draft a resolution for the regents before Veterans Day this year.

Resolution from PAGE 1Suspect arraigned in Yale killingby Ray Henry

The Associated Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — As police charged a Yale animal lab technician with murdering a graduate student who worked in his building, a por-trait began to emerge Thursday of an unpleasant stickler for the rules who often clashed with researchers and considered the mice cages his per-sonal fiefdom.

Police charged 24-year-old Ray-mond Clark III with murder, arrest-ing him at a motel a day after taking hair, fingernail and saliva samples to compare with evidence from the grisly crime scene at Yale’s medical school.

Bond was set at $3 million for Clark, who kept his head down and said “Yes, your honor,” when asked whether he understood his rights.

The muscular former high school baseball and football player is charged in the death of 24-year-old Annie Le, a pharmacology doc-toral student at Yale who vanished Sept. 8. Her body was discovered five days later — on her wedding day —

stuffed into a utility compartment behind a wall in the basement of the research building where she and Clark worked.

Authorities offered no details about the crime Thursday. They would not discuss a motive, largely because Clark will not talk to police, and would not disclose the DNA test results or how they connected Clark to the slaying.

Clark appeared in court with two public defenders who were new to the case. A private-practice attorney who had represented him during the investigation did not attend the hear-ing and said Thursday he no longer represents Clark. The attorney de-clined to give a reason.

Public defender Joseph Lopez said he was still reviewing the case and declined to comment.

Co-workers told police that Clark was a “control freak” who viewed the laboratory and its mice as his terri-tory, according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity be-cause the investigation is ongoing and many details remain sealed.

The official said police are look-ing into whether Clark’s attitude led to a deadly workplace confrontation with Le, who was 4-foot-11 and 90 pounds. But investigators say that’s just a theory at this point.

The investigator also said authori-ties do not necessarily need to prove a motive because they have an abun-dance of strong forensic evidence.

As a technician, Clark’s duties in-cluded cleaning mouse cages and the floors of the lab.

Le’s work involved experiments on mice that were part of research into enzymes that could have impli-cations for treatment of cancer, dia-betes and muscular dystrophy.

The New York Times reported that Clark at times grew angry if lab workers did not wear shoe covers.

“He would make a big deal of it, instead of just requesting that they wear them,” said a researcher who asked not to be identified.

ABC News reported that Clark sent a text message to Le on the day she vanished requesting a meeting to discuss the cleanliness of mouse cages in the research lab.

through the room’s window seems to have been the cause of the fire Thursday.

“It looked like there was some sort of Molotov cocktail thrown in,” he said.

Ruby Watkins, Telos House assis-tant director, said the fire is definitely an arsonist’s work, and Rivas said he has a few suspects.

“We have an idea, but there is still no hard core evidence,” he said.

Rivas said the fire was similar to the others.

“It was the same time period as the other fires,” he said. “It was the same exact time frame — from 2 a.m. to 3 o’clock.”

Two fires occurred in the Telos House basement across the street from Dane Smith Hall during Novem-ber and August of last year.

In October, a fire was discovered in a storage shed behind one of the

Telos houses. The same night, two other fires on Sigma Chi Road dam-aged two UNM office buildings.

Rivas said fires were reported in two Telos House residents’ vehicles within the 14-month period.

Rivas said his priority is to catch the person responsible for the fires. After that, security is a top issue.

“We are going to look into increas-ing surveillance,” he said. “UNM po-lice finally are going to beef up securi-ty by patrolling the area more, and all the other people around us are going to beef up security more.”

Lt. Robert Haarhues, UNMPD spokesman, said five officers pa-trolled between Indian School and the Pit between Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. At 3 a.m., four officers took over the patrol.

Watkins said the buildings have locked doors, a keypad at the front en-trance and a guard dog.

their homes — they don’t. They want a bright future for their children. They want a good job that will enable them to support their family.”

Chávez focused his answers on the results from his mayoral term and the endorsements he’s received.

The mayor said his priorities are public safety and creating jobs to combat a recession economy.

“Public safety — it’s always the number one priority for municipal government,” Chávez said. “I believe in this community, and in my heart I believe that it is the best city in Amer-ica. My vision for this city is the same as it’s always been, and it’s to become a place where our children can real-ize their dreams.”

Chávez said his leadership during the recession has had great results.

“(Albuquerque is) performing better than almost every major city in America in the midst of the reces-sion,” he said.

Romero said his administra-tion has four goals to improve Albuquerque.

“Public safety — I really believe crime is a big issue in this town,” he said. “Unemployment — I believe that small businesses are key to job development in Albuquerque. I also believe that working with our pub-lic schools — not beating them up — is a key to improving our educa-tion system. And lastly, my signature issue is open, transparent govern-ment, getting rid of wasteful spend-ing in government and getting rid of cronyism.”

The candidates were asked ques-tions that covered issues including same-sex marriage, the West Mesa murders, green jobs, sustainability, education and term limits for the mayoral office.

Accountability and transparency of city government became a big is-sue during the debate.

Berry said he sees the pay-to-play problem in New Mexico as an ethical accountability problem.

“In the legislature we work on ethics on a fairly consistent basis,” he said. “And what I’ve found is that you cannot legislate ethics — you can legislate penalties against eth-ics violation. But what you can do is legislate transparency. That’s what I want to do.”

Berry said that as mayor he will work to create a municipal gov-ernment that the public can easily access.

“I want a Web site where you as a taxpayer and as a citizen can, with a click of a mouse, go in and search the city checkbook, see where the dollars are going, search contract awards ... even see the bidding pro-cess,” he said. “It keeps the honest folks honest.”

Chávez said that he disagreed and that the city database doesn’t need any work.

“We today in the city of Albuquer-que have the most accessible da-tabase, the most accessible record base of any city in the United States,” Chávez said. “I think we already have that open and transparent system.”

Editor,I read the other day that President Obama

is trying to eliminate international tax cred-its on U.S. businesses. The irony is that I

read this after a global economics class, so while I’m not an expert, I do take an inter-est in this kind of stuff. Eliminating interna-tional tax credits is a bad idea. The U.S. has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, and the way we offset that is by giv-ing companies tax credits when they com-pete overseas. This allows companies like Intel Corp. and Microsoft Corp. to become

worldwide leaders. Eliminating the credits eliminates their chance to compete against China, India and other growing markets. These tax credits were started by Clinton and continued under Bush. Let’s hope that Obama follows their lead.

Imagine you’re on a date. The moon is full, the air is crisp and you’re standing toe-to-toe, saying good night.

On your way home, you keep thinking about the taste of her lips and how excited you are to see her again.

Then your phone lights up and the screen reads, “Thanks for the great night,” with a tacky smile afterwards.

Now, for me, this is one of the biggest turn-offs after any date.

When you drop someone off, even if you had a great night, you dropped him or her off. You don’t want them clinging to you via text till dawn. You don’t want to get sick of the person after only one date, especially if they paid.

Before cell phones ran our lives, you could wait days before calling someone.

Now you’re always within reach, even when you don’t want to be.

And don’t think not responding will work.

You either need to respond immediately if you ever want to see her again or decide it wasn’t worth it and call it quits there and then.

There’s no escape anymore.Technology has embedded itself in the

deepest roots of society. This has led to some pretty serious problems.

John O’Neill, the director of addictions services at The Menninger Clinic in Hous-ton, says our addiction to technology is “an impulse disorder that can be as socially dam-aging as alcoholism, gambling and drug addiction.”

So to me, dating someone who does an af-ter-date text is like dating an alcoholic. But in-stead of getting thrown up on and turned off, the inevitable text will finish the job.

Even if you stay with an after-date texter, you still might be out of luck.

That clever text they send every night, which melts your heart every time, might not even be coming from them.

Enter Girlfriend Keeper.This iPhone application texts your pos-

sible soul mate random, romantic sayings

periodically throughout the day. It also remem-bers to text for birthdays and anniversaries.

So now, you don’t only have to worry that what they’re saying is true – you have to worry whether it’s actually them saying it.

Furthermore, the texts really aren’t that suave.

“Did you know we started dating 37 days and eight hours ago?” is one of the examples from the Web site. I don’t know about you, but I’d run for the damn hills if I got this text.

So it’s official. Technology is trying to as-sassinate everything dating once stood for.

But don’t shoot yourself just yet, ladies and gentlemen, because I have the solution. Just steer clear of the post-date text and every-thing will be wonderful.

Wait a few days, send that text and enjoy dating the way it should be.

Come to think about it, don’t text at all.Grow a pair and call.

In “Parties unite in support of observ-ing Veterans Day,” a letter to the editor pub-lished Thursday, the presidents of the Col-lege Republicans and College Democrats wrote in support of a resolution to give UNM students Veterans Day off, though ASUNM debated the wording of the resolution. Read-ers on DailyLobo.com responded:

‘post american’Posted Thursday“While the U.S. Military was busy play-

ing war games on 9/11, they did not protect the homeland. Where were the armed forces while our freedoms have been under attack over the last eight years? Oh yeah, looking for the 9/11 conspirator Osama Bin Laden. ... They have helped build two Islamic the-ocracies in Afghanistan and Iraq, whose puppet governments will collapse the day we leave. I respect U.S. troops, but don’t turn them into whiny victims. They know they are heros. By the way, how can any em-powered and informed member of society belong to either the Republican or Demo-crat party?”

‘TZ’Posted Thursday“... Those that stay behind and handle

families, work, and the stress of a spouse, parent, child, etc. in combat are heroes in their own right and deserve much more rec-ognition than they get.”

‘Damian’Posted Thursday“We should not be nation building and

be crippling our enemy. Right now, about 20 million U.S. dollars out of the billions spent are going directly into the pockets of the Taliban. ... Paying off our enemies only goes to fight them another day. With pred-ators (unmanned drones) and the great weaponry that we have, this war could have ended long ago with minimal American ca-sualties. ...”

The UNM football team has al-ready dubbed their offensive line the “Hitmen.”

Now head coach Mike Locksley is calling for his linemen to block — and his team to execute.

After taking two beatings this sea-son, schematic wizardry is not going to get the Lobo football team over the hump against Air Force, Locksley said. The team only needs to execute the fundamentals.

“It has nothing to do with keying on Air Force,” he said. “It’s about key-ing on New Mexico. I have said it time and time again — and it’s not going to change. When we start taking care of our business and doing the things that good football teams do — when we execute the fundamentals of offen-sive football — we’ll have success.”

The Lobos (0-2) head into Sat-urday’s game pitted against Moun-tain West Conference rival Air Force, which is 1-1 on the season. And as the heavyweights in the conference — BYU, TCU and Utah — jockey for position in the top 20 in the nation, UNM heads into Saturday’s contest with a lot on its plate.

“The pressure of winning your first game is enough,” Locksley said.

If that wasn’t bad enough, the Lobos also have a laundry list of fun-damentals that need correcting if they’re going to have a chance against the Air Force Academy Falcons.

In the last two weeks, Lobo op-ponents have put up a combined 1,051 yards of offense, compared to the Lobos 402. Opponents have also out-scored the Lobos 85-16, some of those points coming off turnovers.

The Lobo offense fumbled six times last week, losing three of them to Tulsa.

Much of the offense’s success will be predicated on converting third downs. UNM totaled 171 yards of of-fense against Tulsa, but the Lobos were a sorry 1-of-15 on third-down conversions. That kept the defense on the field for 20 minutes in the second half.

Locksley said the offense is fine on

the practice field, but, for some rea-son, things get lost in translation on game day.

“I haven’t had any problem with the way we practice,” Locksley said. “They prepare the way we ask them to. They are into it. They have a lot of enthusiasm. Someway we have to just transfer it over to games.”

The defense also has to play the way they practice. Last week, Tulsa put up 44 points on UNM’s score-board, 28 of those points came off passes 17 yards or longer.

Tulsa receivers burned the Lobo secondary several times.

“We can’t continue to give up those big plays,” said George Barlow, UNM’s defensive backs coach. “A lot of that (will be fixed) by cutting down on assignment busts, and some of it is just technique.”

With the exception of Frankie Solomon, the secondary is relative-ly inexperienced. Redshirt freshman DeShawn Mills and sophomore An-thony Hooks, start at the cornerback positions. Senior Frankie Baca started his first game last week, subbing in for an injured Ian Clark.

At the very least, the Lobo sec-ondary will get a break from the high-powered passing game on Saturday. Run-heavy Air Force employs a triple-option scheme.

Last week against Minnesota, the Falcons ran the ball 66 times com-pared to 17 pass plays. In the game before that, the Falcons only went to the air seven times.

“I don’t think we are matched up any better (against a run team),” Locksley said. “But if we can find a way to limit the big plays, I think we’ll maybe have a little more success on defense.”

GOOOO LOBOS!!!

Zach Gould / Daily LoboRose Morris, center in red jacket, cheers with her teammates before a volleyball match against TCU at Johnson Gym on Wednesday. Morris didn’t play in Wednesday’s match, and it’s unclear when she’ll return to the court.

attempts. Redshirt freshman Ra-chel Barber replaced Williamson in the third game, hitting a nega-tive .111 with one kill and two er-rors on nine attempts.

“We did miss Rose,” senior mid-dle hitter Anna Lehne said. “As a senior and a captain, she’s going to be hungry. We definitely needed more of that out there. Our offense just didn’t step up.”

The Lobos finished the match with 40 errors and hit just .139 as a team.

“As a coach, I’ve got to figure out how to get through to a cou-ple of these people that we need more intensity,” Nelson said. “We should be coming out excited and ready to play.”

UNM will have a chance to re-bound this weekend as they trav-el to Tucson, Ariz., for the Wildcat Invitational. The Lobos will face off against No. 25 Arizona; Tulane, which is receiving votes in the lat-est AP coaches’ poll; and Univer-sity of Texas at El Paso, which took in-state rival NMSU to five games earlier this season.

“We can’t afford another loss like that,” Meeter said. “We’ve got to put this one behind us, learn from it and move on to our next match.”

Or, as Lehne puts it: “We need to find our mojo — and fast.”

The Lobos have a history of coming back after injuries. On the

road and in a tough battle with Ari-zona State in 2007, defensive spe-cialist Kelsi Phillips collided with a teammate and caused a bloody nose. UNM rallied to a 15-11 fifth-set win.

In last season’s opener, Meeter exited the game with an injured foot thanks to a bad landing. The Lobos went on to sweep Central Arkansas 25-19, 25-17, 15-18.

Last Saturday, Morris went out of the game at 22-22 in the fourth game against Pittsburgh with a dislocated finger and compound fracture that broke through the skin. UNM responded with three kills for the 26-24 win.

Meeter said an injury is no ex-cuse for poor play.

“This isn’t anything we haven’t experienced before,” she said. “We just need to take each match one game at a time and make sure we are fighting for every point. If we do, we can be successful against anyone we face.”

Nobody said losing a team’s on-court vocal and inspirational lead-er would be easy.

With senior outside hitter and co-captain Rose Morris on the

sidelines with a pinky injury, the UNM vol-leyball team came out flat and was de-

feated by Texas Christian Univer-sity on Wednesday 25-18, 16-25, 25-22, 25-22 in the Mountain West Conference opener.

It was TCU’s first ever win over the Lobos and not exactly the re-sult UNM had in mind against a team picked to finish fifth in MWC preseason polls.

“We were supposed to start off on the right foot and send a mes-sage to conference opponents by winning 3-0,” junior outside hitter, Lisa Meeter, said. “We just didn’t show up.”

Head coach Jeff Nelson didn’t sugarcoat his frustrations, either.

“We played as poor of a match as we’ve played in three years,” he said. “We had basic breakdowns, too many errors and I didn’t see any fight in us.”

Despite bragging about the team’s depth, Morris’ absence was more than noticeable. Sophomore Kelly Williamson started in Mor-ris’ place and hit a negative .142 with one kill and three errors on 14
