A pilot’s job might soon be a thing of the past, according to a UNM graduate student’s research.

Ivana Palunko, a second year Ph.D. student, is studying small-scale unmanned helicopters and other vehicles. Palunko, a native of Croatia, recently won an award from the National Foundation for Science, Higher Education and Technologi-cal Development of the Republic of Croatia.

Palunko said Croatia developed the award to encourage the kind of technical research she is doing with unmanned helicopters.

“I was in my fourth year and I was choosing what my thesis would be for my masters,” Palunko said. “� en one of the assistants — he got a small helicopter as a toy — and he was like, ‘Do you want to do this?’ I was like, ‘Why not?’ It seemed interesting.”

She said her award included $4,000, a laptop and a cell phone.

Palunko decided to further the re-search she began in Croatia at UNM. She works with the Multi-Agent, Ro-botics, Hybrid, and Embedded Sys-tems Laboratory research group at UNM.

Research with quad-rotors — helicopters with four rotors — are Palunko’s main focus.

“Usually you have those toys that you can � y around and have a re-mote control. People can do that,”

she said. “So, my part in that is that you don’t have to have a remote, you have your laptop and an inter-face. You can say, ‘Oh, I want you to go someplace like Sandia, and mea-sure the temperature in � ve places and come back.’ � at’s everything that you need to do and it will do the rest.”

Chaouki Abdallah, department chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering, said research on un-manned aircrafts isn’t new and most planes and jets are already con-trolled by computers.

Pilots are only needed as supervi-sors and to take over if the autopilot controls malfunction, Abdallah said.

“Every airplane you � y in is really � own by an autopilot and the real pi-lot comes in only periodically to do certain things,” he said. “A lot of the space vehicles, for example, are not really being � own by people — au-tomatic controllers are really taking care of everything. In fact, a modern jet plane cannot be controlled by a human.”

Senior Priscilla Padilla said she would � y in an unmanned aircraft if it were tested for safety.

Locksley split the lip of Jonathan “J.B.” Gerald, wide receivers coach, in an altercation on Sept. 20, accord-ing to an APD police report. Now the University is going to hit the Lobo head football coach where it hurts — with a swift kick in the pocketbook.

Locksley will be docked 10 days of pay, which is “in the neighbor-hood of $29,000,” Krebs said.

said. “I accept the punishment as just for my role in the incident.”

Locksley will be required to at-tend a conflict resolution class, per another mandate included in Tues-day’s decision. Krebs said he will persuade all coaches of the football program to do the same. He also said UNM’s head football coach should engage in community service, which Locksley said he will do.

What neither Krebs nor Locksley could account for was what exactly happened on the day in question or how Gerald ended up with a split lip.

Both said that no punch was thrown.

“There were no witnesses that verified Gerald’s allegation that Locksley threw a punch,” Krebs said. “Let me be clear about that. No wit-nesses verified coach Gerald’s alle-gation that coach Locksley threw a punch. There was an argument. They

were separated. How he got bumped on the lip is speculation.”

The only clarification Lock-sley provided was that there was a scuffle.

“Basically, it was a heated argu-ment,” he said. “There was some grabbing, pushing and shoving. I did not throw a punch.”

In his time away, Locksley said he will reflect on the punishment and what steps he can take to ensure it won’t happen again.

“I wouldn’t call it a vacation,” Locksley said. “Obviously, just find-ing recently here what the punish-ment is I haven’t necessarily made plans. I do feel that part of my plans will be to spend some time at a char-ity dear to my heart, do some com-munity service and spend time with my family.”

Locksley’s original punishment, handed down by Krebs, was a verbal

reprimand and a letter in the first-year coach’s personnel file. But the letter was never composed, because Human Resources launched a probe instead, Krebs said.

The Human Resources Depart-ment didn’t suggest disciplinary ac-tion to Krebs, it merely performed the investigation, Krebs said.

The University Business Poli-cies and Procedure Manual’s Poli-cy 2210, on campus violence, reads: “Violent behavior includes verbal, written, physical, electronic or non verbal threats or other behavior that would constitute a threat of violence or cause a reasonable person to be fearful.”

Per University policy, Krebs said a verbal reprimand wasn’t necessar-ily enough, and further action was warranted.

“It came to my attention that standard University operating

procedures required that HR investi-gate this type of incident on campus,” Krebs said. “At my request, they con-ducted an investigation. They inter-viewed all witnesses involved in the incident. We are part of the Universi-ty. It’s imperative that we follow Uni-versity process.”

Now that the process has been completed, Krebs said this type of behavior can’t happen again, and Locksley would be terminated if an-other physical altercation occurred with any member of his staff.

“This decision is consistent with University discipline, falls within the framework of University guidelines and, I believe, serves as a strong de-terrent and sends a strong message to the University community,” Krebs said.

President David Schmidly said in a statement Tuesday that he stands by Krebs’ decision and that it is time

for UNM to put the matter to rest.“I have confidence in the process,

which is fair and consistent, and the manner in which it was handled by the Vice President for Athletics,” Schmidly said. “I believe it is now time to move forward for the sake of the football program and especial-ly for the players who have contin-ued to work hard during this difficult time.”

However, the black cloud circling over the football program hasn’t nec-essarily receded. It’s still unknown whether Gerald will return — and evidence indicates he’s more likely to resign.

Krebs confirmed Sunday that Gerald turned in his University-is-sued cell phone and keys on Friday. He reiterated Tuesday that the assis-tant coach is still on paid administra-tive leave.

becoming a popular area of research, especially in America. He said re-search like Palunko’s could be used to save lives.

“It’s an area where a lot a people are interested in trying to coordinate things, like search and rescue,” Ab-dallah said. “� e helicopter could be like the eye in the sky and you have other robots on the ground doing something else.”

Abdallah said Palunko’s research is more in-depth than that of many

engineers who work at other labora-tories or companies.

“At the University, we can a� ord to really understand the fundamen-tals of the problem so that next time — even if it’s a totally di� erent robot or helicopter — we understand the models and can predict what should be done and can do it better,” he said.

Padilla said the future of robotics could raise the standard of living for America and the rest of the world.

UNM gets subpar ‘green’ gradesby Andrew Beale

Daily Lobo

According to the Sustainable Endowments Institute, students need to do their part to make UNM “greener.”

� e institute released a Sustain-ability Report Card last week that gave UNM a “B” overall, but a “C” for student involvement.

UNM’s overall grade did not change from last year’s report card, even though the University got low-er grades in some categories. Last year, UNM got an “A” in transpor-tation and an “A” in climate change and energy. Both grades fell to a “B” this year. � e categories of food and recycling and green building rose from a “C” last year to an “A” for food and recycling and a “B” for green building this year.

Mary Clark, program specialist for UNM’s O� ce of Sustainability, said she doesn’t think the grades are fair. She said the institute grades uni-versities based on survey responses from various campus organizations.

Clark said students didn’t have a chance to � ll out surveys in the stu-dent involvement category, because the survey was sent out during the summer.

“I couldn’t get any students to answer, because they sent out that survey in July,” she said. “I called them back and I said, ‘I can’t get a hold of students in July,’ and they said ‘Well, just do your best.’”

Representatives from the insti-tute did not return phone calls or e-mails this week.

Clark said part of the problem is that UNM doesn’t have sustainabil-ity clubs in the dorms.

“We don’t currently have a sus-tainability club or an eco-work pro-gram at the dorms, or anything like that, so we got dinged primarily be-cause we couldn’t get student re-sponse,” she said.

Clark said she sent the institute information on all the environmen-tally active clubs on campus.

“� ere’s Vegans and Vegetarians, there’s Net-impact, there’s alterna-tive transportation,” she said. “I sent them all that information, but be-cause I wasn’t a student responding, we got dinged.”

Student Elizabeth Bennett, who has worked on campus with envi-ronmental organization 1Sky, said the institute’s low grade is accurate. She said she had di� culty getting students to take an interest in the environment while working with 1Sky.

“As I was talking to students walking to class, I would ask them ‘Do you have a minute to � ght glob-al warming today?’ And so many people just answered ‘No,’” she said. “Solely based on generalizations, I would probably, maybe give them a ‘C-plus.’”

Terry Horger, program coordina-tor for the Sustainability Studies Pro-gram, said the University is working

to improve sustainable practices on campus.

“We’re still in the process of en-acting the sustainability policy that President Schmidly enacted last summer,” she said.

UNM beat NMSU in the Sustain-ability Report Card in every area. NMSU received a grade of “C-mi-nus” overall, and a “D” for student involvement. � eir overall grade last year was the same, but their grade for student involvement is down from a “C.”

Clark said the institute graded UNM on the same scale as other universities, such as the University of Colorado at Boulder, that have a lot more money to spend on sus-tainability investment.

“� ey lowered our grade on cli-mate change and energy, and the only thing I can � gure out is that we did not buy renewable ener-gy credits for the Student Union,” she said. “Well, our budget is, you know — we’re having severe budget problems.”

Clark said the institute also asked UNM to pay them for next year’s ranking, and this is the � rst time they’ve asked for such a payment. She said her department doesn’t have the money to pay the institute, and that she thinks the grade this year was unfair.

“I’m glad that we beat State, but I don’t think it’s a fair assessment of what we’re really doing,” she said.

“If they could make it to where I didn’t have to drive either that would be great,” she said. “I’d start my car and say, ‘Go to school.’ � en I’d be a happy camper.”

In “Columbus Day opponents push alter-native holiday,” published Tuesday, the Dai-ly Lobo reported that a group of UNM com-munity members celebrated “Indigenous Day” on Monday. Supporters who want the federal holiday’s name changed said the dis-covery of the New World needed to include the Native point of view. Readers on Daily-Lobo.com responded:

by ‘Danny V’ Posted Tuesday“I would not oppose Indigenous Day, but

I think a day to reflect on everyone would be better. For years I thought Oct. 12 should be ‘National Heritage Day.’”

by ‘AJR’ Posted Tuesday“I’m so sick of this politically correct

crap. It’s Columbus Day, get over it and move on.”

by ‘T.A&M.U’ Posted Tuesday“Columbus Day opponents are anti-

American. You should be ashamed of at-tending such an event as a student while reaping the benefits of Western civilization higher education.”

by ‘Summerspeaker’Posted Tuesday“I’ll readily admit to being anti-Ameri-

can, but that hardly implies a wholesale re-action of Western civilization.”

by ‘Tyler’ Posted Tuesday“How about America Day? Also, screw

the hyphen-Americans. Do you need to be bombed again?”

by ‘Doc John’ Posted Tuesday“Columbus Day is here to stay. AJR and

others said it best, get over this political cor-rectness crap and get on with your lives.”

Recently, there has been discussion on and off campus about Network Access Con-trol, or NAC. Some folks have complained that NAC is slowing them down; others have said that NAC installs malicious software onto their computers; and still others think that NAC was a good band while they last-ed (by the way, the 80s band was called “The Knack” not “NAC.”) So … let’s clear the air.

NAC is a computer network security technology recently implemented at UNM. NAC was applied to Lobo WiFi and to the wired access in the student residences to en-sure the availability of the University’s com-puter network. Eventually, NAC will check to make sure that computers trying to get onto the network have applied the latest

operating system patches and have anti-vi-rus software installed and up to date. How-ever, NAC currently only does what the name implies: It controls access to the UNM wireless and to some wired computer net-works. NAC controls access by authenticat-ing the user via his or her UNM NetID and password, essentially assuring that the only people on the UNM network are ones that are allowed to be there.

NAC is not designed to see what you’re listening to, typing or viewing. NAC is not snoop-ware. In the future, it may check to make sure that your computer’s personal firewall is active and that your anti-mal-ware software is working properly, but right now it is in place to ensure only authorized UNM users and guests are on the network. For more information on NAC and Lobo WiFi, visit it.unm.edu/nacinfo.html.

Also, there is no longer any reason why you cannot have up-to-date anti-virus soft-ware. Symantec (aka Norton) anti-virus software is available to all UNM students, faculty and staff at no cost for use at home as well as on campus. Visit the IT Software Download page at it.unm.edu/download to obtain the Symantec Endpoint Protection software for your computer.

Did you know that October is Nation-al Cyber Security Awareness Month? For more tips on protecting yourself online, check out www.StaySafeOnline.org.

Editor,I’ve come across the writings of two of

our faculty members who thought it fashion-able to use the word “imaginary” as a noun, as in “the American imaginary.” One was in a research paper and the other in a proposed title of a book. I have no doubt that these scholars violated our grammatical tenden-cies on purpose, solely because it has become

fashionable in charlatanic circles.Though I admit that these violations

peeved me, I think that they point to a more important truth: Much, if not all, of the “re-search” coming out of our “research Univer-sity” is not tailored for consumption by the general public. When’s the last time some-one read a scholarly product whose “interest” in it wasn’t financially motivated? Of course, many of our highbrowed buffoons would probably congratulate themselves for their aloof intellectualism.

I once had a professor tell my class that

as long as we were able to “say something interesting” about a novel, then we had suc-ceeded in our task. This seems incredibly pre-tentious to me. Maybe we should be saying something important. Important? Important to whom? Well, maybe we should start with the people who are paying our bills. Do they even know what we do here? Probably not, but as long as we keep barking, “Education!” at them, they’ll come drooling to the polls.

Vibraphonist--”one of the most important young art-ists in jazz:” blends hip-hop and funk

by Tomás MorálezDaily Lobo

Top predators hold a key to life it-self. Can people and predators coex-ist? Can we afford not to? These are some of the questions posed in the 2009 film, “Lords of Nature: Life in a Land of Great Predators,” the first of many films presented monthly by the UNM Chapter of the New Mexico Wil-derness Alliance.

Phil Carter, the organization’s president, said the group is the only student conservation organization on campus. He said it started in the fall of 2005 with the goal of saving the Mexi-can Gray Wolf from the list of extinct animals.

“At the moment, there are only 52 wolves currently living in the wild,” Carter said. “What we do is educate and cultivate responsi-bility for the Mexican Gray Wolf through lectures, letters, cam-paigns and, recently, the films.”

Carter said the Mexican Gray Wolves once thrived in stable popula-tions in New Mexico.

“The wolves were hunted out in the early 1900s,” he said. “By 1982, both the federal and state government started the introductory program of wolves back into the United States.”

Finally, the government captured the last few wolves to breed in captiv-ity, he said.

It was not until 1998 that the wolves were released back into the wild, however, and the population is still low, Carter said.

UNM freshman Olivia Gallegos said she is concerned about the Mexican Gray Wolf and is aware of the struggle to increase the species’

population.“There are so many factors that

go into (preserving the Mexican Gray Wolf),” Gallegos said. “People are encroaching on their territory. I re-member the other day I was running down my arroyo when I saw a wolf in the middle of the city and I was kind of freaked out. It was like the clash-of-the-cultures thing, how disgusted people are and how wolves are just trying to survive.”

Gallegos said she is aware of the possible threat wolves pose on the city, but that people still need to keep them in their natural environment.

“Of course I see it as a problem, wolves, I mean the wolves have to eat, but at the same time people are just so gluttonous about going into (wolf ter-ritory), building new homes, expand-ing on the west side, expanding into the mountains and even on the crest,” she said.

Later in the year, the UNM Wilder-ness Alliance will be presenting two more films: “Sense of Wonder” on Nov. 19 and “Split Estate” on Dec. 14.

“Sense of Wonder” is about Ra-chel Carson’s life from her book, Si-lent Spring, in which she raises aware-ness of the environment where birds of prey are affected by DDT.

“Split Estate” focuses on the drill-ing of natural gas in northwestern New Mexico and southwestern Colo-rado and how it is affecting both the environment and private property owners.

“I believe the films and various events are a great way to teach or ed-ucate (people) about the wolves and their place in the ecosystem,” Carter said. “The wolves are also within the history and culture of New Mexico.”
