Sta� ReportDaily Lobo
UNM community members can get their electronic waste recy-cled free of charge on campus this Saturday.
UNM Recycling, NetImpact and the Sta� Council Environs Commit-tee teamed up to host the third an-nual UNM E-waste Recycling Event, where students, faculty and sta� can recycle old cell phones, radios, mi-crowaves, VCRs, DVD Players and more for free.
Recycling old televisions, howev-er, will cost $10.
Linda McCormick, president of UNM Recycling, said electronic waste can hurt the environment.
“If they’re not recycled, then they can have a profound negative impact on the environment, because they typically contain heavy metals like lead or copper in the solder, tin — things like that,” she said.
McCormick said Albuquerque hosts two similar e-waste events each year for the general public. Also, there are two companies in the city that accept e-waste throughout the year — Albuquerque Recycling and Enchantment Recycling.
All of the e-waste collected Sat-urday will be given to Albuquerque Recycling, McCormick said. She said the company makes a pro� t on the items.
“� e reason that it’s free for ev-erything is that there’s enough
value in the recycled materials of a CD player or something like that so that they don’t have to charge us,” she said.
Televisions don’t have enough valuable components, which is why it costs $10 to recycle them, McCor-mick said.
McCormick said the e-waste event helps consumers understand the environmental implications of everyday products.
“� ere’s no environmental-free lunch,” she said. “� ere’s a dark side to everything.”

A growers market, complete with a solar-powered band, a balloonist and more than a dozen local food vendors, will take over Johnson � eld on Saturday.
Sustainability Studies Program Coordinator Terry Horger, who or-ganized the event, said the growers market emphasizes environmental consciousness and local produce. She said the market is aimed at stu-dents because there are other grow-ers markets that target the wider
community.“We really are trying to attract the
people from campus, as opposed to, let’s say, the rest of the city,” she said. “We’re really trying to focus on the students, sta� and faculty on campus.”
Horger said this will be the only growers market for the fall, but the Sustainability Studies Program plans to make it a weekly event next semester.
“Even though this is a small growers market, and unfortunately it’s the only one we’re having this semester, we’re hoping that by the
spring we’ll be having them on a more regular basis,” she said.
� e Sustainability Studies Pro-gram will partner with La Monta-ñita Co-op to raise funds for future growers markets.
“� e thought is that we will sell Co-op memberships, and so for those members … whatever money they spend at the Co-op, 1 percent of their sales will come back to us,” she said.
Bruce Milne, program director of the Sustainability Studies Program, said Sustainability Studies worked for about a month to set up this
growers market. He said the pro-gram needs additional sta� before they can run the market on a weekly basis.
“We’ve had seven of these events so far,” he said. “But to do it on a regular basis means we would have to have a dedicated sta� person, so that’s been di� cult for us to put to-gether from existing funds.”
He said the funds from the Co-op program will go to hire a sta� member to coordinate the growers markets.
Madeline Hastings, who runs Duke’s Raspberry Ranch, will sell
raspberries at the growers mar-ket Saturday. Hastings will share a booth at the event with her son, who owns Chillz Frozen Custard.
“We combined our products. I grow raspberries, so what we do is use his custard and my raspberries and we make sundaes,” she said.

� e checkered � ag might wave early for a team of race car-building students.
� e Formula Society of Automo-tive Engineers is an annual interna-tional collegiate engineering com-petition where students design and build their own race cars. � e School of Engineering plans to cut funding to the program that sends a UNM team to the competition. It’s supported the group since 1998.
It costs $55,000 to run the pro-gram. Students raise $25,000 of the funds primarily through donations from Sandia National Labs and the Unser Racing Museum.
Last week Arup Maji, interim dean of the School of Engineering, guaran-teed to pay UNM’s summer portion — $30,000 — for the next two years.
But in 2011, the team will have to fend for itself over the summer, or possibly shut down, Maji said.
“I am saddened that enthusiastic students might not have this opportu-nity, because some students certain-ly look forward to and are very ener-gized by it,” Maji said. “Because I am interim dean and the � nancial chal-lenges that we face, I am not in a po-sition right now to commit summer salary for 2011.”
� e team’s project manager, Jo-seph Conroy, and deputy project manager, Niki Naber, started two pe-titions to voice concern for the future of the program. � e petitions have re-ceived at least 40 signatures, Conroy said.
Of the $30,000 provided by the School of Engineering, $25,000 goes to the summer salary of the team’s director, John Russell. According to the UNM salary book, Russell makes $117,513 a year.
Russell said 15 students partici-pate in UNM’s FSAE, and 220 stu-dents have completed the program since it started.
� e program lasts a full year, in-cluding the summer term.
If the program is not funded in the summer, Russell said the success of the program will su� er.
“One year of not conducting the program kills all the continuity nec-essary for a successful program,” Russell said. “Would an interim uni-versity president think of canceling football for a year while he waited for a new university president to be appointed?”
Steven Carpenter, a junior in the School of Mechanical Engineering, was going to start FSAE program in the spring, but the program has been taken o� of LoboWeb.

Daily Lobo asks you: “What do you think about having a Homecoming court in college?”
“Well I’ve seen some signs around for Homecoming Queen … but I wouldn’t vote and it doesn’t matter very much to me at all. I don’t pay much attention to it. Maybe it’s important for some students, but I don’t think a majority of students will care.”

“I think it’s pointless because college is college and not high school, and I’ve never voted in the five years I’ve been going here, and I don’t plan on going at all.”

“I think it’s kind of strange, because not everyone knows each other like they did in high school, so its like kind of confusing and you just don’t even know the candidates, so it’s not as accurate as it was in high school.”

* According to the ASUNM elections chairman, 1,130 students voted in the Homecoming Court election Wednesday.
Boys, a bluegrass band made up of UNM students, will perform at the market. She said they will run their equipment from a solar-powered van the Sustainability Studies Pro-gram bought in 2006.
Horger said the van can power a full band for about two and a half hours.
“We bought a used cargo trail-er, and we retro-fitted it with a solar panel,” she said. “They plug all their
instruments into the solar powered van, and they’ve got all the power they need.”
Horger said he market will attract students to local growers and en-courage them to eat more local food.
“What’s important about the growers market is that we’re trying to bring local, organic food and local vendors onto campus and to teach them about the importance of local food,” she said.

Courtesy of FSAEMembers of the UNM Formula Society of Automotive Engineers team surround a race car that they built as part of an international competition. The Interim Dean of the School of Engineering has not committed to providing the program with $30,000 in funding for 2011.
Carpenter said the FSAE program was one of the programs that brought him to UNM.
“It is heartbreaking to know that something I’ve been working towards for the last two years is gone,” he said. “I am unsure if I want to finish my de-gree at UNM.”
Russell said students in the pro-gram would likely be unable to raise funds to make up for the University cuts.
“The team barely raises enough money to support the program costs beyond what we get from UNM,” he said. “It would take a tremendous ef-fort — beyond what we are doing now — to fund the summer.”
If the University decides not to fund Russell’s summer salary, the program may continue as a one se-mester course, Russell said.
He said the program ran as a one semester course before 2004, but it wasn’t as successful as the three-se-mester model.
“For what I could teach in one se-mester, there wasn’t enough time to build a car,” Russell said.
The FSAE competition takes place in seven locations around the world — with one in Michigan and Cali-fornia, Russell said. Because of an increasingly tightening budget, the UNM team traveled to California last year to save money, even though 40 fewer teams competed.
In Michigan’s 120-team competi-tion, UNM’s FSAE team placed 39th in 2004, 14th in 2005, and 60th in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, UNM came in 24th in California’s 80-team competition.
WASHINGTON (AP) — In the largest single strike at Mexican drug operations in the U.S., federal offi-cials on Thursday announced the arrests of more than 300 people in raids across the country aimed at the newest and most violent cartel.
La Familia has earned a reputa-tion for dominating the metham-phetamine trade and displaying graphic violence, including behead-ings. U.S. officials said the cartel, based in the state of Michoacan, in southwestern Mexico, has a vast
network pumping drugs through-out the United States, specializing in methamphetamine.
The arrests took place in 38 cities, from Boston to Seattle and Tampa, Fla., to St. Paul, Minn., in 19 states.
Attorney General Eric Holder pledged to keep hitting La Famil-ia and the cartels responsible for a wave of bloodshed in Mexico. He said the U.S. would attack them at all levels, from the leadership to their supply chains reaching far into the United States.

Editor,I am pleased to see that over 50 percent of
the people who have voted so far in this week’s online poll recognize Fox News as nothing more than a mouthpiece for conservative-based propaganda. Also, about 25 percent more people at least felt that the arguments presented by Fox News were rather one-sid-ed. � at makes over 75 percent of our cur-rent pollees who can see right through them.However, I am still concerned about the oth-er 25 percent who believe Fox News is a le-gitimate news source. I will tell you now: Fox News is a joke. I knew this when, dur-ing this last election, Bill O’Reilly was trying to shame a magazine editor for being un-fair because there was some eight front cov-ers with Barack Obama, Michelle Obama or Joe Biden on them, and only � ve with John McCain or Sarah Palin. I knew this when, on practically every show, none of their
hosts could grasp the concept that it just might be possible to be friends with peo-ple without necessarily condoning certain actions they have done in the past or con-forming to every last one of their ideologies.I knew this when, on practically every “O’Reilly Factor” show, they’d bring in Dick Morris, the man who wrote a book called something like “How Barack Obama is going to destroy our country, our future, our great American way, kill our children and share their souls with the demonic socialist lead-ers of Europe atop our ruined cities.” On theshow, he’d always be explaining what Barack Obama was doing wrong — which was just about everything — and the “conservative” way to do it right.Folks, there’s something simple you have to understand here. It’s good, unbiased journalism when you present nothing but the facts. � is is what we could call “news.” When you start including opinions, it is no longer news, and I don’t believe it matters if you present one side of opinions and then present another side to be fair. Furthermore, when you start spinning the facts, leaving
out certain details and completely ignoring other facts, it’s not fair anymore, and then when you only present one side to the is-sues, it isn’t even balanced. � us, when Fox News claims to have “fair and balanced news coverage,” you should instantly realize that it’s a load of crap and false advertisement.If Fox News were to get their claws on this opinion column, they would most likely lambaste it, calling me a far-left lunatic with no justi� cation for my accusations, and try to drag the Daily Lobo down with it. But in reality, it doesn’t really matter if I am “con-servative” or “liberal.” � e reason I formulate these opinions is because I’m not an idiot and can see right through them. For you Fox News enthusiasts, I recommend you check out � e Young Turks. I didn’t get my opin-ions from them, but I certainly agree. I am certain you would � nd some good reasons to be suspicious of Fox News after seeing a few of their videos.

In his letter to the editor “University should encourage use of public transportation,” pub-lished � ursday, UNM sta� member Chuck Reuben argued that, instead of building a park-ing structure at Lomas and Yale boulevards, the University should build a bus stop. Readers at DailyLobo.com responded:
by ‘xander’ Posted � ursday
“Uh, nah, I like having my own transporta-tion. Parking? A tad bothersome, but I man-age. A little walking, supplemented with a bike. I get along just � ne. Public transportation sucks. Smelly and hot in the summer, cold and smelly in the winter. Punks and drunks all the time. A moving biological experiment. No thanks. I’ll keep my ride.”
by ‘Casey’ Posted � ursday
“I am a graduate student working full time and I commute to campus about three days a week from across town. I have been using the visitor parking garage because it is the quickest way in and out of the University. People like me have no time to mess with public transportation. We need to be able to get in and out quickly. I also agree with xander about the ‘moving bio-logical experiment.’ LOL.”
by ‘Cee’ Posted � ursday
“Lest we forget, Parking and Transportation Services is a money generating operation and a $50 bus stop earns them no new revenue, but building a cement behemoth has the potential to bring in tons of dough. Nope, people, I don’t see them acting in the environment’s best inter-est in this instance (or ever, as long as they are in business for the dough).”
by ‘Adelina Artist’ Posted � ursday
“Public transportation is a joke. I’ll take it when I see the Mayor, the UNM faculty and oth-er privileged people riding the bus, until then I will drive my car solo. Are you riding the bus ev-ery day, Mr. Reuben?”
by ‘Michael’ Posted � ursday
“Like it or not, UNM is a commuter campus. � ere are plenty of students that live all over town. Buses take a long time to get you where you need to be.”
by ‘Matt’ Posted � ursday
“Really? First, there already is a city bus stop at Lomas and Yale. Second, keep in mind that PATS is 100 percent funded by their operations (park-ing permit sales, ticket fees, structure and meter parking), so not one penny of your tuition dollars pay for shuttle drivers, the structures, paving, etc. Also, they’ve been highly involved in providing alternative transportation options (including free bus permits for students, sta� , and faculty) that take away money from their bottom line. � ey want people to use the public bus system to get to campus. Sure, they’re an easy target to criticize (and they certainly aren’t perfect either), but I think they do a great job all things considered. Fi-nally, I ride the bus to and from UNM every single day (I didn’t even buy a parking permit at all this year) because I have found the city bus to be more convenient, just as safe, and overall less stressful than driving. My transportation costs to work are lower (aka non-existent) and my car stays safe in my driveway during the day. I highly recommend giving it a shot for a whole week. Hopefully you’ll � nd that the bus is not as bad as you think (and you’ll see that public transportation in Albuquer-que is not a joke).”

President Barack Obama’s relief at the agreement that could quiet the political crisis over Afghanistan’s spoiled election masks his predicament as he weighs an expansion of the unpopular Afghanistan war.
� e administration says its ambitious plans for Afghanistan rely on a “credible partner” in Kabul. But there is no guarantee that the hast-ily arranged voting will confer the legitimacy the fraudulent Aug. 20 election lacked.
No matter who wins the November elec-tion runo� that Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai agreed to during pressured consulta-tions with American leaders, the United States
is wedded to a shaky government in which corruption has become second nature.
Obama pointed to the Nov. 7 runo� as “a path forward in order to complete this elec-tion process.” He said nothing about his delib-erations over what could be a huge surge of U.S. armed forces in Afghanistan, a calcula-tion badly thrown o� by the botched August voting.
For the U.S., a runo� emerged as perhaps the least bad option to restore momentum and the important perception that Afghans themselves are invested in their government and its success. Karzai’s chief political rival, Abdullah Abdullah, agreed Wednesday to participate in the runo� .

Fox News needs to state facts, not biased opinions
everybody needs to do that here,” said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who stood with Karzai for an awkward announcement of the runo� plan.
Another election risks the same fraud that derailed the Aug. 20 vote, and the same risk of inciting violence and increasing ethnic divisions.
If there are any more delays, the vote could also be hampered by winter snows that block o� much of the north of the country starting mid-November.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama has not decided whether to move ahead with a revamped strategy, and the pros-pect of more troops, before results of the run-o� are known. Gibbs told reporters he still ex-pects that decision within weeks.
� e Taliban will surely try to disrupt the voting again, and turnout is expected to be low in areas where voters were intimidated.
“Another election where there’s no cred-ible government to operate with continues to undermine our reason for being there,” said Richard “Ozzie” Nelson, a former White House counterterrorism expert now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “It would push us further down the slippery slope of what to do next.”

Rarely, if ever, does some-one come to Albuquerque to get famous.
Enter the curious case of Phillip McDonald, the UNM men’s basket-ball team’s second-year swingman.
Upon his arrival, there were practically people lounging on the tarmac, waiting for the ballyhooed four-star prospect to plant his Nikes on New Mexico soil.
Needless to say, McDonald be-came an overnight celebrity — so much so that he should’ve just start-ed carrying a Sharpie in his sock. Ev-erybody wanted his John Hancock.
After home games, children and parents alike waited for McDonald to dart up toward the tunnel in The Pit, pens and Lobo memorabilia in hand.
The usually introverted play-er said he was taken aback by the gesture.
“It was actually very surprising,” said McDonald, who graciously obliged to fans’ signature requests. “In Houston I didn’t get asked for too many autographs. As soon as I flew up here to Albuquerque, I got asked for autographs as soon as I got off the plane. This is a college town. These kids really look up to you
compared to when I was in Hous-ton. When I was in Houston, you have professional teams, so you’re just a little guy.”
Truth be told, there was nothing diminutive about McDonald or his play — not his stature, nor his first-year contributions. As a freshman, McDonald played a rather large role, averaging 7.3 points per game
in a little more than 20 minutes per game. He started 33 games, the sec-ond-most starts for a Lobo fresh-man since 1987-88, when Rob Rob-bins had 36.
But by his own admission —“Last year was new to me,” he
said. “I wasn’t used to playing that many games. My body was fatigued

UNM interim head coach George Barlow said he is going to do everything in his power to help the UNM football team get the first win of the season against UNLV.
And that could include gam-bling early.
“I can’t say I won’t go for it on fourth down,” he said. “Let’s just say this: I will definitely be out there trying to play to win if it comes to a situation to do that. If (defensive coordinator) Doug (Mallory) and coach (offensive coordinator Dar-rell) Dickey feel good about it, then we are going to go with it.”
The Lobos need to get it done this weekend, because it might be the last chance for a victory this season. Including Saturday’s game against UNLV, UNM has six games left.
toward the end of the season. This game is different. They’re looking at you (on film) in the gym and trying to exploit your weakest points.”
If anything, McDonald said, he was just trying not to ruffle any feathers or upset the balance of the team.
“Last year, I was just basically trying to fit in and play in with the seniors,” he said.
But if McDonald, as he insinuat-ed, was holding back some of his un-earthed potential, then that tells you something about how capable he is. Last season, he scored double-dig-its 11 times, and he also became the first Lobo since Mark Walters did it in 2003 to record a double-double.
There were times, however, when McDonald balked at being assertive with the basketball and deferred to the seniors instead. In UNM’s last four games of the season, including the Lobos’ 75-67 Mountain Confer-ence Tournament quarterfinal loss
to Wyoming, McDonald had just four points.
And this year, McDonald and the Lobos will be without their security blankets — guards Tony Danridge, Chad Toppert and center Daniel Faris.
But Toppert, who competed against McDonald in the 3-point contest in the Oct. 16 Lobo Howl (both tied with 13), said McDonald is over the jitterbug.
“I think he’s going to be a lot more confident this year,” Toppert said. “He’s coming out of his shell, and that’s going to help him on the court as well.”
While McDonald may be pre-pared for that part of the home-opener next month, off the court he’ll probably be surprised as ever by pen-wielding zealots.
“You have to watch what you say, and just try to be a role model to these kids. They look up to you,” McDonald said.

Football vs. UNLV
Saturday6 p.m.

lobo football
UNM (0-6) is winless for the first time since the 1987 season and rid-ing a 10-game losing streak dating back to last season. The Lobos have lost six consecutive Mountain West Conference games since 2008, too.
Enter the Rebels — currently 2-5 and a team that has given up more than 30 points in six of its seven games.
But the Lobos aren’t fooled by the Rebels’ record, Barlow said. “On paper it looks like a better op-portunity, a better chance to win,” he said. “They are a pretty good team when they put it all together. I am sure they are going to come and be ready to play.”
UNLV has some playmakers, spe-cifically wide receiver Ryan Wolfe, who has hauled in 50 receptions for 539 yards and a touchdown this season.
Wolfe, a preseason All-American candidate, is a tremendous route runner and has great hands catching the ball in traffic.
To stop Wolfe and the rest of the Rebels, cornerback Anthony Hooks said the Lobos will have to take the field at full speed.
“He is a big and really physical re-ceiver,” Hooks said. “We are just go-ing to have to come out there with our A-game and see what we do against him. We just got to be on top of our stuff.”
Barlow said the bye week helped the Lobos get back to
the basics and shape up for the whomecoming game.
“What we tried to do was see what we were doing well on both sides of the ball,” he said. “We tried to stick to that and that’s what we are going to try to stick with against UNLV this week. We also tried to see what we are doing well, especially with young kids who haven’t played a whole lot (this season).”
Barlow’s had double duties this week, coaching the defensive back and the team as a whole because of head coach Mike Locksley’s 10-day suspension. But even with the added pressure, cornerback Nathan Enriquez said Barlow is commit-ted to commanding the secondary’s attention.
“We see what we have to do this week with coach Barlow in charge,” he said. “He is doing a great job keeping us focused and not think-ing about other things outside of what we have to do on the field and at practice.”
