The Kiva Club missed the deadline for its ASUNM budget request for the 2013 fiscal year by 2 minutes and 18 seconds.

Isaac Romero, finance chair of ASUNM, said the request would not be accepted. He said the law book clearly states that any bud-get request turned in past the 5 p.m. deadline would not be accepted.

President of the Kiva Club Makhpiya Black Elk said the last submission was due to an Inter-net failure. He asked ASUNM at the Wednesday meeting to look past his mistake and to not pun-

ish his club for the error.“I take full responsibility for

the mistake, but don’t let this mistake affect future generations of the Kiva Club,” Black Elk said.

ASUNM funds chartered stu-dent organizations with under-graduates members who request funding. ASUNM does not fund graduate student organizations or non-student organizations, like the Student Fee Review Board does.

The American Society of Civ-il Engineers and Africana Lead-ership Opportunity Team also turned in their budget requests late.

Article II, Section 4C of the ASUNM budget code requires

that completed budget re-quests be submitted by 5 p.m. on Wednesday of the fourth week of the spring semester. Section 4D states: “Incomplete budget re-quests or those turned in after the deadline will not be accept-ed. This will result in the group being dropped from the semes-ter’s budget process.”

Any organization that failed to meet the deadline was sent an email at 5 p.m. saying it could petition its case at the 6 p.m. meeting.

Romero said the senators would deliberate at a later time to find a solution.

“After hearing everything you have to say, I will discuss this

with the vice president and email all the groups with what we have decided and I will continue to hear input from all of the sena-tors,” Romero said.

Adrian Cortinas, vice presi-dent of ASUNM, said it is regret-table that so many student groups failed to turn in their budget re-quests on time, but the law book clearly states the rules.

Student groups miss ASUNM budget deadline

About a third of freshmen awarded the Lottery Scholarship lose it within a semester, said Ann Brooks, chair of the Facul-ty Senate Budget Committee in a presentation to the regents on Thursday.

The Tuition and Fee Team, a board appointed by the UNM president and the Board of Re-gents that makes decisions about tuition and fees, recommended that 20 percent of any increase in tuition be invested in need-based financial aid for students to keep them in school through graduation.

“Need-based financial aid has been shown to increase reten-tion and graduation rates,” GPSA President Katie Richardson said Wednesday morning during the Board of Regents Finance and Facilities Committee hearing.

Brooks, who also serves on the President’s Strategic Advi-sory Team, said students need to find what the team calls an “ah-ha” moment in deciding the ma-jor they want to pursue.

“It is the time it takes for a stu-dent to identify the major they want and connect with the fac-ulty that are within that major,” she said. “The longer it takes to identify that major for the stu-dent, the longer it takes on their journey.”

GSPA President Katie Rich-ardson said that, in an effort to increase student support, UNM will also hire four new advisers per year for the next five years, as well as 20 tenure-track pro-fessors to give students more support.

According to the PSAT’s pre-sentation at the regents’ meeting, hiring more tenure-track profes-sors will increase the number of

available courses, foster research and increase supervision of grad-uate students.

The PSAT has come up with nine additional low- to mid-cost initiatives to fight high drop-out rates.

“One is called the Student Success Summit, where interest-ed faculty and staff would meet each March to discuss, learn,

strategize and volunteer for op-portunities to connect with in-coming freshmen,” Brooks said.

Brooks said another initiative, Graduation Coaches, would pair faculty and staff from the Student Success Summit with incoming freshman to help them anticipate and navigate obstacles on the road to graduation.

Interim Provost Chaoki Ab-

dallah said although information on how to maintain the Lottery Scholarship is available early to freshmen, often they still fail to meet the GPA requirements or take sufficient credit hours to maintain their eligibility for the scholarship. Abdallah said meet-ing one-on-one with students early on is the key to success.

“We find in many cases that

you need that personal touch,” Abdallah said.

Agenda items that were not approved at the regents meeting included an approximately $1.5 million project that would reno-vate the interior of the Student Residence Center apartments.

SANTA FE — Court papers show that a personal online ad taken out by one of the four men arrested last week in a child-sex sting operation caught the atten-tion of Santa Fe police.

The Santa Fe New Mexican re-ports 35-year-old Jared Oshell faces charges of child solicitation and eight counts of attempted criminal sexual communication with a child.

According to court papers, an investigator posing as a child re-sponded to Oshell’s online ad on Jan. 10 and the chats between Os-hell and the undercover detective continued through Jan. 31. Police arrested Oshell on Feb. 3.

Police said three other men were arrested as part of the de-partment’s sting operation, and that a total of 10 arrest warrants should be issued for men suspect-ed of soliciting sex from minors.

SOCORRO, N.M. — Authorities in Socorro are investigating a rash of dog shootings.

Animal Protection of New Mexico says at least eight dogs were shot in December and January within a three- to four-mile area of Socorro County that includes Lemitar and Polvadera. Nearly all the dogs were on their owners’ property, and all but one died or had to be euthanized.

The animal protection group says the Socorro County Sher-iff ’s Department is investigating the cases, and believes they are connected.

Animal Protection of New Mex-

ico is offering a $10,000 reward for information in the case.

LAS CRUCES — Doña Ana County sheriffs say two men wanted for allegedly kidnapping and beating a woman last week-end are now in custody.

They say 45-year-old David Grill and 42-year-old Michael Strubhar surrendered to authori-ties Wednesday night.

Authorities say Grill and Strub-har are facing five felonies, in-cluding aggravated battery, kid-napping, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, robbery and bribery of a witness.

The two men are being held on a $100,000 cash bond at the coun-ty detention center.

Authorities say a 22 year-old woman claims Strubhar picked her up Saturday near a motel and drove her to meet Grill, who then allegedly tried to strangle the woman from the back seat with a rope.

The two men allegedly drove a desert area west of Las Cruces where the woman says she was beaten and abandoned.

ALBUQUERQUE — A man wanted in connection with the death of an Albuquerque man has died following a bizarre standoff with authorities.

Wes Brannon was pronounced dead Tuesday in Mora County after authorities said Brannon slammed into a parked deputy’s car and officers fired on him.

State Police did not say wheth-er Brannon died from gunshot wounds or from the crash.

Police believe that Brannon was linked to the death of Albu-querque resident Greg Miller, whose body was found Tuesday. Police said they suspect the man who killed Miller believed he was sleeping with his wife.

Deputies and State Police re-sponded to a call from Brannon’s estranged wife who said Brannon was at her door with a gun. When they arrived, authorities said Brannon rammed into a parked deputy’s car.

ALBUQUERQUE — Authori-ties say a man has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of his estranged wife in Al-buquerque almost 25 years ago.

Albuquerque police say Ron-ald A. Brewington was taken into custody Monday in the San Fran-cisco area.

The body of 37-year-old Die-dre Brewington was found in her apartment in Albuquerque on Aug. 4, 1987.

Police learned Diedre was sep-arated from her then 43-year-old husband and she intended to di-vorce him.

Investigators determined that there was probable cause to arrest Brewington for the murder, but he had already fled New Mexico.

The Bernalillo County grand jury indicted Ronald Brewington for first-degree murder, but it took 25 years to track him recently to the California Bay Area.

It was unclear Monday wheth-er Brewington has a lawyer yet.

Judge blasts GOP carpersby Jeri Clausing

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Gov. Susana Martinez bills herself as the transparency governor, promoting her mandate that all state employ-ee salaries be posted publicly, tout-ing her support for a bill that would require agencies and elected bod-ies to post notices of their meetings 72 hours in advance and promising quick responses to requests for pub-lic records.

But open-government advocates question whether Martinez is walking her talk.

Other than public appearances, Martinez’s office has declined to pub-licly release information about how she spends her work days on the tax-payers’ payroll. She refuses to release her travel schedules, whether it’s for state or political business. And even notification of her public appear-ances and press conferences, which are generally the only opportunity for the media to ask her questions with-out going through her handlers, often comes with just a few hours’ notice.

And a recent request by The Asso-ciated Press for copies of correspon-dence between Martinez’s office, the New Mexico Environment Depart-ment and Los Alamos National Lab-oratory took nearly three months to fulfill. Although deadline extensions were requested and granted, when the documents finally arrived, the Governor’s Office had failed to note there were exclusions, as is required under the state Inspection of Public Records Act. When pressed, her office acknowledged some information was withheld due to executive privilege.

The Governor’s Office said it has a solid record of transparency. Spokesman Scott Darnell said that of 117 IPRA requests last year, only nine were “so broad” as to require

additional time. Forty-five, he said, were fulfilled in five days or less. And on only 10 occasions were documents withheld due to executive privilege.

As for schedules, he said, “We not only broadcast advisories for the gov-ernor’s public events to all media, but the governor puts information about her public meetings, events, speeches, etc. on the front page of her website, where it’s now also being archived.”

During a speech to the New Mex-ico Press Association in October, Martinez — noting the history of cor-ruption in New Mexico — vowed to respond as quickly as possible to IPRA requests. She also said there is no excuse to take the full 15 days al-lowed under IPRA “just because we’re government.”

“I have promised since day one that state government will be more trans-parent, more accessible and more ac-countable,” she told the meeting.

But it did take her office 15 days to respond to a formal IPRA request from The Associated Press for cop-ies of her schedules showing “all ap-pointments, meetings, public appear-ances scheduled as part of her official duties as well as calendars showing all travel conducted for state or political business,” during November, Decem-ber and the first half of January.

And then it only sent a copy of her calendar “of public appearance, in-cluding speaking engagements, press conference and other public meet-ings” — information that it noted is also available on her website.

In many states, governors in years past traditionally shared with the press some type of daily or weekly sched-ules, showing what type of meetings they were holding, where they were speaking or if they were traveling. But that practice appears to have waned over the last decade. Some governor’s offices cite security, others harass-ment by bloggers. Other issues seem

to stem from simple disorganization.Kenneth Bunting, executive direc-

tor of the National Freedom of Infor-mation Coalition at the University of Missouri journalism institute, called such reasons for withholding infor-mation “lame rationalizations,” and said a governor’s schedule should al-ways be public.

“It is hard to imagine that some-one would think that a governor’s comings and goings are not the citi-zenry’s business, or that some state’s record disclosure laws would allow executives to shield that information from the public,” he said. “Unfortu-nately, some statutes are so weak that they allow it.

“… Any governor who so values his or her privacy that their schedules need to be treated as a state secret probably should have chosen another vocation outside of public life.”

There is no law in New Mexico re-quiring the governor to put out work or travel schedules to the public. For-mer Gov. Bill Richardson occasional-ly released a schedule of some public events early in his administration, but didn’t disclose much about his out-of-state travel.

Sarah Welsh, executive director of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, said she believes the state’s open records act requires the governor to release information about work schedules on request. And the law very clearly requires that the governor, at a minimum, say why requested information is not being released within a 15-day period, she said.

“It is of course disappointing when someone talks the talk but then doesn’t walk the walk,” she said.

Martinez is far from alone in keep-ing her schedules close to the vest, with many releasing only information about their public appearances.

In February 2011, Lobo men’s basketball student tickets were a hot commodity. Stu-dents were camping out days before ticket distribution, and every conference game was sold out. The Lobos were 4-4 in confer-ence action.

I don’t value disorder above all else. However, I’m feeling increasingly unconfident in our bipartisan government’s ability to make decisions for the good of us all. This has led me to explore anarchism.

Contrary to popular belief, anarchy does not necessarily mean absolute chaos. I imagine people hear the term and envision widespread looting brought on by people acting like animals with disregard for every-one but themselves.

When describing a society, anarchy is the absence of publicly enforced political leader-ship. To think the world would disintegrate in such a way as the result of this absence is short sighted.

When kids are released from the rule of their parents into “the real world,” the mayhem that ensues may be tempered by how much freedom the kids enjoyed in the first place. Anyone living on a short leash before let loose in the park may go wild, because the moment is one for which they’ve longed.

Everyone wants the ability to make their own decisions, but if they’ve been able to do so under more distant supervi-sion, they’ve probably made mistakes and learned from them.

Column

by Chris QuintanaEditor-in-chief

Dear readers,As I am fond of saying, I worship the

conversation we can create on this opinion page, but, alas, I have noticed this conver-sation is a bit one-sided.

Let’s not play, okay? You know it. I know it. The Tralfamadorians know it. In short, everyone knows the letters and column in this publication tend to lean to the left.

I don’t know where it comes from. Per-sonally, I am a devoted “Stay the hell out of the political conversation as best as I can, lest I become one of those crazy screaming partisan people,” type.

But for some reason, the majority of let-ters we receive lean to the left.

We have oft been criticized for favoring the left. I’d disagree. I would say people in fa-vor of “liberal” ideals are just the ones writing the letters. I am dying for someone from the other side of the conversation to respond.

I believe a one-sided conversation is the worst type of conversation you could ever have, dear readers.

I have said it before, and I’ll say it again, we live in an echo chamber. Anything we believe, we can find echoed somewhere in the mass media, and this sort of perpetual echoing does nothing to enrich our lives. In fact, I would say it’s like trying to grow plants out of soil that has long since been depleted.

Accordingly, in an effort to replenish our conversational soil, I am calling out to the people who accuse us of being a left-leaning liberal rag to send us letter so we can balance ourselves out, and just be a rag in general.

Some of you might be in disbelief. Test me. Send me a letter as to why driver’s licenses shouldn’t be given to undocumented immigrants. Or better yet, send me a letter against government support-programs. Or how about a letter in favor of privatization of government agencies?

I swear, and let this column be the proof that holds me accountable, I will publish any letter that goes against so-called “left” ideals. As long as the letter isn’t blatantly racist or offensive without reason, I will publish it.

So, readers, let’s hear that other side of the conversation. There’s soil in dire need of tilling. lEttEr

conference championship, and ranked just outside of the top 25. However, there are still more than 600 free student tickets for Saturday’s game against Wyoming. What changed?

Last spring, Howl Raisers, ASUNM and Athletics worked together to create a better student ticket distribution system that would allow for more students to attend games. The new policy went into effect this season. Unfor-tunately, this new policy has killed the hype of Lobo basketball.

So, I am reaching out to you, Lobos. What is it that Howl Raisers can do to bring back the excitement to Section 26? This year Section 26 is nominated for the Naismith Student Section of the Year Award, and this is our chance to show the rest of college basketball why our student section deserves the national attention.

You can send your input to [email protected] or join the Howl Raisers for our weekly meetings.

readers.

experience has taught you, or what you’re told to do, we all have a system that determines how we behave. The difference is that when someone is telling you what you to, you question their reasoning and will begin to think for yourself, anyway.

This is why teenagers rebel. Either way, the individual will make mistakes; this is the reality of being human. The upside of being human is that we are the most intelligent ani-mals, and have the mental capacity to learn from these mistakes.

In countries where people have had little freedom, rebellions against their government have been violent. In America, where people can do as they please within the confines of a more liberal legal system, the movement has been milder.

Maybe I have too much faith in the essen-tial goodness of humankind. I don’t operate under the utopian fantasy prevalent in the ‘60s, but I do think there is a path to pave to-ward a peaceful, harmonious existence. In a world like this, people will make mistakes, as always, and there will be a price to pay.

It just makes more sense to me for the people involved to make decisions accordingly, rather than relying on the government to bring justice. Even with our precious branches of government controlling the leash and disciplining as they see fit, injustices are not rare.

Because the masses allocated a group of leaders the power to make decisions for us, we’ve also given them the power to manip-ulate the law according to their needs and wants. Police break the laws all the time, scaling from something minor like breaking the speed limit to shooting innocent people. They decide to whom the laws apply, and if the system is really for the good of all, why should there be any exceptions?

Every human wants to feel safe, well nour-ished and loved. Everyone has a different path to these mutually desired ends, hence the endless variety of lifestyles. What works for one person doesn’t necessarily make sense for everyone.

Our system of government and law should be as unique as all of us. It’s evident the law attempts to accommodate these differences by creating more and more laws, rules and regulations as unique circumstances crop up regularly.

Granted, it is necessary to keep the de-generates at bay, as they are undeniably a threat to at least one of our mutual necessi-ties. I don’t have the answer, but I know the time has come for us to start working toward a system that works, rather than waiting for the opposing forces to ever agree.

Why should people with different ideolo-gies be forced to adopt each other’s lifestyles?

Go Lobos!

by Mundo [email protected]

The softball team is ready to slug the MWC and slide into the postseason.

The Lobos are coming off a 19-26 season with head coach Erica Beach, who is returning for her second year leading UNM, but have hopes to fin-ish with a national championship.

“Our goal, especially for this sea-son, is to finish 500 and compete for a conference championship,” Beach said. “In the end, we want to win a national championship. Every day, we do things to step toward that.”

Junior pitcher Kaela DeBroeck is returning from a year in which she was named an All-America Schol-ar Athlete by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association. She said she wants to continue to have that kind of success this season.

“I want to pick up where we left off last year. I want to come out with the confidence that I can do what I do and take it to great levels,” she said.

The Lobos are picked to finish fourth in the preseason MWC poll, behind conference newcomer Boise State, UNLV and conference favorite San Diego State.

Beach said she is also expecting a lot this year from DeBroeck.

Women hope to hit MWC season out of the park“We’re expecting her to take the

lead in the circle for us and be a con-sistent force for us out there,” she said. “The team really enjoys playing around her.”

DeBroeck said she is the most excited about the season opener against the University of Oregon.

“Personally, I’m the most excited about Oregon because I have a lot of old teammates that play on the team,” she said.

The team is also returning senior catcher Jessica Garcia, who led the Mountain West last year in slugging percentage, doubles and total bases. Beach said she is a player to look out for this season.

“Jessica Garcia was our leading hitter last year, and we’re expecting her to lead us in hitting and behind the plate,” she said. “She’s someone the girls really look up to, on and off the field. She’s someone I would keep an eye on because she is a fan-tastic athlete.”

The Lobos are also returning short-stop Jordyn Bledsoe, who missed all of last season with a knee injury.

“I’m hoping that Jordyn can make an impact and lead us in the infield,” Beach said.

Just before the team starts tak-ing on its conference opponents,

Dylan Smith / Daily LoboUNM softball catchers practice at the Lobo Softball Complex on Jan. 20. The Lobos open the season in Tempe, Ariz., today.

they will travel to Austin to play three games against the University of Tex-as. Beach said she is excited about these games.

“I’m really looking forward to playing at the University of Texas

because all of our games will be aired on the Longhorn Network, so we’re going to have the chance to be on TV,” she said. “I think it will be a really fun weekend for the Lobos.”

by Cesar [email protected]

The men’s basketball game against Wyoming this weekend is on “Old School Saturday.”

The Lobos (19-4, 5-2 MWC) will wear old-school style uniforms to honor the school’s history and traditions of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.

Senior forward Drew Gordon said he liked the uniforms.

“It’s different,” he said. “It’s actually the first time I’ve worn a throwback or anything like that in my college career, so it should be interesting.”

The jersey design incorporates the color tur-quoise and includes an outline of the state of New Mexico with an old-school Lobo Louie and the Sandia Mountains inside the outline.

The Lobos will sport the new uniforms riding a four-game winning streak that has put them in control of their own destiny in the MWC, as they stand just one game behind San Diego State, cur-rently in first place.

“We’re a better basketball team right now go-ing into the second half of the season,” head coach Steve Alford said.

The Lobos opened their conference schedule in Laramie and beat Wyoming 72-62. UNM then lost the next two at the hands of the Aztecs and UNLV.

After starting 1-2 in the conference, Alford is-sued the team a now-infamous 13-day challenge, to toughen them up — and it worked.

UNM went 4-0 in those two weeks getting home wins against Colorado State and TCU, and road wins against Air Force and Boise State.

The Lobos won each game by a margin of 28.3 points.Now at 5-2, Alford said that, more than any-

thing, the challenge created a complete team.“The thing I’ve been most impressed with over

this four game stretch is, we can go to our bench and we’re losing nothing,” Alford said.

The Lobo bench was instrumental in the victo-ry over the Cowboys, outscoring Wyoming’s bench 22-4. But it has stepped up as of late, scoring 42 points against both Colorado State and Air Force.

In their last meeting, the Lobos scored 72 points, the most any team has put up against the Cowboys (18-5, 4-3 MWC).

UNM also recorded the highest shooting per-centage (.523), 3-point field goal percentage (.571) and free-throws attempted (22) of any team Wyo-ming has faced this season.

This time around, the Lobos will be healthy. They welcome back freshman guard Hugh Green-wood, who did not play in the last meeting because of an ankle injury, and senior forward A.J. Harde-man, who was coming off an illness.

“This is the most health we’ve had on our team, top to bottom, since the year started,” Alford said.

The healthy Lobos will need every player to take

on a confident Cowboy team, which is coming off an upset win at home against No. 11 UNLV.

Alford said his team can make improvements, but likes the position it is in to make a conference title run.

“It’s one thing to be picked, it’s one thing to go through nonconference, and it’s another thing once you get into league play, to be playing your best basketball,” Alford said. “And we’re playing pretty good basketball.”
