UNM employees may have to foot a projected multi-million dollar short-fall in the University’s health plan.

Employees could experience an 8 percent increase in insurance premiums if the administration de-cides to make them pay the $6.2 million shortage.

During the Faculty Senate meeting Tuesday, Vice President of Human Resources Helen Gonzales said the projected cost for employee health care in FY 2013 is $61.7 million. Cur-rent funds from employee contribu-tions, interest earnings from the fund and the Early Retirement Reinsur-ance Program total only $55.5 mil-lion. Gonzales said the University is looking at di� erent ways to meet the di� erence, and that may mean faculty have to pay more for the rising costs of health care.

“It isn’t a shortfall at this time, but if we experience claims utilization at the expected trend, we will need to have the funds to pay it,” she said.

Gonzales said health care costs have risen steadily in recent years, in-creasing 117 percent from FY 2000 to FY 2009. In FY 2010, UNM dropped its private insurance partnership and became self-insured. Since then, em-ployee premiums have increased once in FY 2011 by as much as 2 percent.

Gonzales said increased lifespan, health care reform laws and the in-creasing average age of UNM employ-ees, which now stands at 50 years, have driven costs higher. Faculty Sen-ate President Timothy Ross said the employees will most likely be the ones who have to pay to close the shortage.

“� ere’s a reality here that health care costs are going up, that people are living longer and so, how are we going to pay for it?” he said. “We don’t really have any mechanisms for that other than employees’ pay. � e Uni-versity is already paying a sizable per-centage of those costs: 50 percent or more of our premiums are paid for by the University, but when the costs go up, the employees are going to have to pay a little more.”

Employees could foot $6.2m health care shortfall

Also at the senate meeting:

honors college

Plans for a new degree-granting honors college at UNM, eventually replacing the honors program, could be a reality by this spring, Ross said. He said the Senate could begin the process right away with two steps. � e � rst calls for a Senate vote to begin the formation of the college. He said Policy A88 of the Faculty Handbook allows the Senate to establish the college by Senate vote

and approval of the provost.Ross said the second step — the

development and approval of the curriculum and degrees — will take more time.

“� at’s a longer process because of all the forms that have to be signed and debated by various committees that have to see these forms,” he said. “� at process will take a little bit lon-ger and may not be concluded until the end of summer.”

Senior Vice Provost Michael Dougher said it would cost $1.5 mil-lion to get the college running, but that it is expected to generate $1.9

million in additional student enroll-ment and residence-hall fees. In the more distant future, he said the Uni-versity might build a new facility to house the new honors college, the projected cost of which would be about $79 million.

“� at money would come from something like a (general obliga-tion) bond and maybe the (UNM) Foundation would be able to gener-ate some donors who could contrib-ute to the support of the honors col-lege,” he said.

Dougher said a bene� t for UNM students with an honors degree is the

edge it gives them in the employment market, and would also allow stu-dents � exibility in choosing classes to � t their needs.

“It would be a degree that the student could design,” he said. “Interdisciplinary is something that is increasing in all � elds, the sciences or the arts or humanities, so taking a multidisciplinary approach to a topic makes that person more e� ective in dealing with that. We will have to name these degrees that would convey the discipline subject matter that the students master as they go through the honors college.”

(un)Occupy undeterred by ban from Yale Park

Daily Lobo � le(un)Occupy � ags and banners wave outside Yale Park on Sunday. The group has left the park after more than a dozen UNM police o� cers made four arrests and prevented the group from occupying the park without a permit on Sunday.

by Jacob [email protected]

After a brief reoccupation of Yale Park by (un)Occupy Albuquerque pro-testers this weekend, the park is now empty of signs and protesters.

About a dozen police o� cers have kept protesters from protesting on campus since Saturday. UNM Operations Lieutenant Trace Peck said protesters have not applied for a permit and will not be allowed on campus unless they do so.

Jessica Farrell, who was arrested for criminal trespassing in Yale Park Sun-day, said she made a conscious deci-sion to step onto Yale Park in de� ance of University police.

“I had the realization that I could no longer put any faith into the system that was supposed to not only protect,

but empower me as a student and as a person,” Farrell said. “I wanted to sup-port the people that were being arrest-ed, not only ideologically and emo-tionally, but physically as well.”

Peck said UNM police are under di-rect orders not to allow any protestors, speci� cally (un)Occupy Albuquerque members, into the park. (un)Occupy Albuquerque member Andrew Beale and Daily Lobo alumnus said the Uni-versity is disregarding protesters’ right to free speech.

“It seems to me that it’s a pretty clear violation of the First Amend-ment,” Beale said.

According to local statutes, the government is allowed to place restrictions on First Amendment rights. For example, if a students create danger for others in the park, UNM can prevent students from

being there, or close the park itself. Beale said the permit issue is irrele-

vant as there are gatherings in the park all the time by people who are not pro-testing. He said if a group of students decide to play a soccer game or have a study session in the park, UNM would not make them apply for a permit or arrest them.

Despite the arrests made this weekend, (un)Occupy Albuquerque continued to protest around the city, picketing in front of the PNM building downtown on Wednesday. Beale said the protest targeted the cooperation between legislators and big business.

“It was in response to a call from Occupy Portland to shut down the corporations, speci� cally corporations connected to ALEC (American Legislative Exchange

ap crime briefsAuthorities say Jason Gray, 15,

has been arrested for allegedly bringing a BB gun onto an elementa-ry school campus in Albuquerque.

Authorities say five schools were briefly locked down around noon Tuesday after reports that someone possibly armed with a gun was seen near Dennis Chavez Elementary.

Four other nearby schools — La Cueva High School, Northstar Ele-mentary, E.G. Ross Elementary and Desert Ridge Middle School — all were placed on lockdown while po-lice searched for a suspect.

Officers later apprehended Ja-son Gray, 15. They say he’s believed to be a student at La Cueva High and wasn’t in class because he was suspended.

KOB-TV says the teen will be booked into the juvenile detention center on suspicion of bringing a firearm onto school grounds.

Court sentences man for semen-lacing

Prisoner settles mistreatment suit

A grocery store worker accused of handing out a semen-tainted yo-gurt sample has been sentenced to two years in prison.

Anthony Garcia pleaded guilty in the case in October, admitting he contaminated a sample of the yogurt he was handing out at an Albuquer-que Sunflower Market in January 2011. He was sentenced Thursday.

Garcia also admitted putting some of his semen on a plastic spoon that he placed with the yogurt. The 32-year-old then approached a fe-male customer and offered her a sample.

The woman told police that af-ter tasting the sample, she spit on the floor several times and wiped her mouth on the garment she was wearing to get the taste out of her mouth.

Federal prosecutors called the al-legations “sickening and appalling.”

Garcia had faced up to three years in prison.

Clovis, N.M.— Curry County of-ficials say they have settled a lawsuit with a Clovis man for his alleged mistreatment while housed at a ju-venile detention facility.

The Clovis News Journal reports that Curry County Commission Chairman Wendell Bostwick con-firmed the settlement Thursday with 22-year-old Orlando Salas.

Bostwick says the county’s in-surance carrier, through the New Mexico Association of Counties, recommended the settlement after investigating Salas’ claims and find-ing some degree of liability.

According to a report on KOB-TV, Salas was 15 when he was be-ing held in the juvenile facility un-der conspiracy charges linked to the killing of a 10-year-old boy in 2005.

Salas alleges he was tied to a chair while other inmates urinated on him from a hole in the ceiling above him.

Salas says he lost 100 pounds from lack of food during his stay at the juvenile jail.

Carlsbad,N.M.— A Carlsbad mother has been arrested on suspi-cion of smoking marijuana with her 13-year-old daughter and the girl’s 12-year-old friend.

Carlsbad police say 27-year-old Kathy Saenz pleaded not guilty in magistrate court to possession of marijuana, possession of drug para-phernalia, two counts of contribut-ing to the delinquency of a minor and two counts of distributing mari-juana to a minor stemming from an incident on Feb. 3.

Pecos Valley Drug Task Force agent David Whitzel says agents were dispatched to a local middle school in reference to the two chil-dren smoking marijuana off school grounds.

School authorities told police they found a piece of notebook pa-per where the girls wrote about smoking the substance, one fearing she would get caught.

The Carlsbad Current-Argus re-ports Saenz is being held in the Eddy County Detention Center on a $25,000 cash-only bond awaiting a March 13 pretrial conference in Carlsbad Magistrate Court.

Las Cruces, N.M.— Las Cruces police issued 64 traffic citations in two hours during a traffic en-forcement operation. The police department says it ran the lunch-time operation Tuesday. Offi-cers issued 33 citations to drivers talking on their cellphones and another 10 tickets were given to drivers who failed to buckle up.

The Las Cruces Sun-News re-ports officers also arrested a 22-year-old man after he was found to be in possession of marijuana and methamphetamine.

In past years the Air Force ROTC raised the Pan-African flag in front of Scholes Hall ev-ery morning during the month of February to celebrate Black His-tory Month, but this year ROTC stopped raising the flag before the end of February, according to of-ficials at African American Stu-dent Services (AASS).

In a ceremony at the begin-ning of Black History Month AASS hosts a flag-raising ceremony.

Christina Foster, a work-study employee at AASS, said she was under the impression that ROTC would raise the Pan-African flag every day as it had in years past, but she said within a week, ROTC stopped raising the flag and didn’t let AASS know.

“I was the organizer this year of the flag-raising ceremony, and

I helped with it in previous years and we’ve never had this problem before,” she said. “There’s never been an issue where we couldn’t raise the flag.”

Foster said she and others at AASS were told by ROTC and Tim Gutierrez, associate vice presi-dent of Student Services, that it was against ROTC policy to raise and take down the flag every day.

Gutierrez said ROTC wanted to raise the flag, but is prevented by

rules in the UNM flag protocol. Ac-cording to the protocol, “United States military personnel in uni-form or in civilian clothing, acting in an official capacity, will not car-ry flags of veterans groups or other non-military organizations.”

Gutierrez said the flag was raised in previous years under commanders who were unaware of the protocol. He said the com-mander ROTC rotates out every three years.

“They probably have different commanders who come from dif-ferent areas and are more aware of the codes,” he said.

Gutierrez said ROTC members believed they would be able to raise the flag as long as they were in civilian clothing.

“They were looking at being involved out of uniform, but that’s when they came, showed me the code, and said they can’t do that, either,” he said.

Council).” According to their website, ALEC is an organization of conservative state legislators and members of the private sector that advances free-market principles and limited government intervention.

According to an internal PNM document given to the Daily Lobo by (un)Occupy, PNM has employees that are members of ALEC. “External/Federal Affairs employees are members of several industry groups which include the Association of Electric Companies of Texas and the American Legislative Exchange Council (“ALEC”) which allow them

to stay up-to-date on what other Extemal/Federal Affairs groups in the industry are offering.”

But Don Brown, PNM news me-dia relations representative for utili-ties, said PNM as an organization isn’t a part ALEC.

“We are not members of ALEC,” Brown said. “That is what was mysti-fying to us.”

Brown said about 20 protesters arrived at PNM to protest, but that business was not affected.

“Most of the protestors showed up at around (noon) and were gone by 1:30(p.m.),” Brown said. “It was a

peaceful, legal protest. They stayed on the sidewalk and didn’t walk on private property.”

(un)Occupy member Sean Potter said even if PNM isn’t officially a member, it still retains the industry benefits offered by ALEC.

“PNM is an ALEC member, or at least employees are members acting in an official representative capacity, which is effectively the same thing,” he said. “Additionally, their largest shareholder, Fidelity Investments (Holding 10.87% of PNM), is also a member, and a prominent one.”

The account the Student Fee Review Board uses to fund one-time allocations to student orga-nizations has no way of generat-ing new funds.

Under the old SFRB rules, nine organizations received set recur-ring funding based on project-ed enrollment at the University, and any extra funding would go to the SFRB’s balance forward ac-count, which is used for one-time payments.

As an example, if a recurring funding group was allocated $2 per student and the SFRB pre-dicted there would be 25,000 stu-dents enrolled in the next school year, SFRB would grant the orga-nization $50,000. The balance for-ward account was set up so if en-rollment the next year is actually 30,000 students, the group would still get only $50,000 and the extra $10,000 would go into the balance

forward account.But under the new SFRB policy

passed this year, which eliminat-ed recurring funding, there is no way the account can accrue addi-tional funds for future one-time allocations.

“Under the trial policy there was no mechanism to continue to fund the balance forward ac-count,” SFRB Chair and President of GPSA Katie Richardson said. “In considering about whether or not we should move forward about a trial policy, we need to accommo-date some percent of reserve from year to year to maintain our bal-ance forward account.”

Richardson said the board has not yet discussed how to solve the funding problem.

Richardson said the account has $289,000, but SFRB plans to allocate a projected $60,000 from the account this year.

“There has been quite a bit of money going into that account,” she said. “It has basically been

just been sitting in the bank in-stead of serving students.”

This year three different groups were funded one-time alloca-tions out of the balance forward account.

The Women’s Resource Cen-ter was given $5,000 for their 40th anniversary, and the Campus Of-fice of Substance Abuse Preven-tion (COSAP) was given $5,000 for a pilot program promoting desig-nated driving.

Parking and Transportation Services was allocated $50,000 for the new bike-share program con-ditionally. The program must raise the remaining $200,000-$250,000 by May to get the $50,000.

“That money will not be paid out of the balance forward ac-count unless the bike-share pro-gram raises enough capital to complete the project,” she said. “Student fees will only supply $50,000 of that if other entities pitch in as well.”

I believe protest is an art; and with any art, some do it better than it others. The Occupy Wall Street Movement, Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. are exemplary examples of the art of fine protest.

And then there’s our local movement.The (un)Occupy movement is one of the

confusing protests I have seen in a while. While I respect and sympathize with their efforts, I still don’t understand their stance on corporations.

They protest big corporations, yet readily hand their money over to them. Case in point: I see many of the members with iPhones, which are constructed in Foxconn plants.

This company’s working conditions are so awful workers routinely threaten and/or commit mass suicide in the hopes of making their life a bit better, according to an article “‘Mass suicide’ protest at Apple manufacturer Foxconn factory” in “The Telegraph.” The company’s response: put up safety nets around tall buildings. Is this the sort of thing (un)Occupy is in favor of?

I don’t believe it is, but the members who buy and continue to use Apple prod-ucts might suggest otherwise. After all, what is money other than a vote of con-fidence? Every time an Apple product is bought, we, as consumers, say “We are okay with your labor practices and we will continue to give you more money.”

Let me clarify. I know not all members of the protest have iPhones. This is direct-ed to the ones who do have them.

If we really weren’t okay with their prac-tices, I think we would stop giving them money and smash our iPhones, as a letter earlier this week suggested.

I will admit, I am not one to judge oth-ers. I use an Android phone probably built in the same factory, but, then again, I am not shouting on the street corner about the evils of corporations.

What I will shout about is the continued effort of massive companies such as RIAA and the MPAA to shut down the Internet. I have written on this subject many times before, when SOPA and PIPA were major concerns. About a month ago, the Internet shut down and the bills were effectively

killed in Congress. That, my friends, is the art of protest.

The interwebs, not content to rest on their haunches, has gone a step further and organized a month-long boycott of all media industries in an effort to stop media lobbying in the government.

It’s called Black March, and the idea is that if enough people don’t buy anything in March, these companies will be forced to recognize the power of the Internet to be used to collectively organize protest.

This power has already been seen with the Internet Blackout, and I believe it will be seen again this month.

So if you want to protest, and I mean re-ally protest, by giving up something you love, don’t buy any entertainment-relat-ed media in March. No movies, no video games, no books, no music, no magazines. This should send the message loud and clear: “We will not tolerate the media in-dustry’s lobbying for legislation which will censor the Internet.”

Thanks again for your time, and have a great weekend.

Editor,

An open letter to administrators: I’m out-raged by the continued employment of force to prevent (un)Occupy Albuquerque from us-ing Yale Park.

Public space belongs to everyone. While I grasp the merit of permits, the UNM adminis-tration as a whole has repeatedly shown that it values tyrannical authority over the very bod-ies of human beings such as myself.

Back in October 2011, UNM police officers kidnapped me for standing in the grass at Yale Park and deposited me into that par-ticular horror of modernity known as the prison-industrial complex. This process in-volved considerable injury and pain, both corporeal and psychological.

Officer Guadalupe Guevara’s threat to find me out of uniform and show me what violence really is demonstrates the absurdity of the idea that the UNM police protect stu-dents. I now live with the knowledge that the threat could be fulfilled at any time: There’s no safety for me on or near UNM campus. I and many other members of (un)Occupy, as well as the broader Occupy Wall Street move-ment, believe in direct democracy rather than the existing order of elite dominance, bureau-cracy and mechanistic disciplinary violence via the police.

LettersVerbal attacks part of new educational model

editoriaL

Black March good example of protest

Editor,

Finally, the University community has stepped into the 21st century and is now serv-ing as a brave new model for other academ-ic institutions across the country to imitate. I am referring to the brand-new, exciting stan-dard for academic engagement that we’re pio-neering here on campus.

Irrational discourse encourages us all to scream at those we disagree with, hurl scurrilous, stupid epithets at one another, and bludgeon those we disagree with as we eject them from public meeting halls and classes.

Pioneered by Rush Limbaugh, the Nonie Darwish talk and the Daily Lobo online dis-cussion trolls, these exciting new discourse guidelines will now be followed, not only for campus presentations, but in all our classrooms.

Unreasonable and insane foaming at the mouth, hair pulling, personal ad hominem attacks will not only be tolerated, but will now be given magna cum laude status, and the dumber and more hateful, the better. It’s a heck of a lot more exciting to verbally and physically truncheon one another with our skateboards than to listen to boring lectures that force us to think … ugh.

As everyone on campus admits, UNM never has been much of a place to engage the intellect, and today’s University is certainly no exception. This letter is in no way to be taken as sat-ire, but is an honest and forthright en-dorsement of the brave and wonderful ex-ample we are setting here at our beloved University.

James BurbankUNM faculty

UNM administration’s use of force inexcusable

I reject the authority UNM claims over the physical space of this campus. The adminis-tration has no legitimate right to send armed thugs to intimate, kidnap and hurt us based on a dispute over space.

I respect the principle of collective de-cision-making and readily accept that we should collaborate with the entire UNM com-munity, but on the basis of equality and free-dom instead of authority and coercion. If violence has any legitimacy at all, it’s only when wielded to prevent or terminate other violence or oppression. Arresting someone for standing or sitting in the park without a permit does not qualify; resisting a kidnapper would.

I demand an immediate end to police vio-lence to control space on UNM campus. This goes for both protesters and homeless folks. I invite the administration to learn to resolve disputes without resorting to the iron fist.

I know this will require a profound transfor-mation and I look forward to the process cur-ing the sickness of disciplinary society. Don’t let the messiness of direct democracy scare

you; it’s still much prettier than a prison cell. I hold each one of you personally responsible for your support of a system that brutalizes me and my comrades on a daily basis.

To the extent that you labor from within to stop the force and terror — if any of you do — I commend that and would like to see more of it. Absent such subversion, I can only await the campaigns of restorative justice that will follow from successful revolution in this land and advise you to contemplate the implica-tions of your actions.

I doubt my intellectual arguments and emotional appeals will significantly influence you, but I choose to make the attempt regard-less. I understand this world runs on power; alongside this communication comes organi-zation to materially resist the UNM adminis-tration’s dominion over this campus.

Expect to see changes.

Ray Birmingham certainly has no problem letting his players “have it.”

The baseball team is 2-5 in the season and just came off a 1-3 se-ries against the University of Tex-as, San Antonio.

“I called everyone in one-by-one and let them have it, then I put them in the locker room as a group and let them have it, and then I ran them for two hours,” Birmingham said.

Birmingham said he coaches a physically talented team that is caught in a mental slump.

“The truth of the matter is these boys haven’t bought in,” he said. “They’re not executing the game properly. The problem isn’t physical, it’s mental.”

Junior infielder Josh Melendez, who received the Mountain West Conference Player of the Week honor last week, said the team can fix its problems if the players come together.

“Right now, we’re going through a couple of bumps in the road, and we’re going to figure it out and come together just like how it was in the fall,” Melendez said.

Coach: Mental, not physical, slump causes losses

Adria Malcolm / Daily LoboJunior infielder Josh Melendez slides into a base during the Feb. 17 game against the Nevada Wolves. The baseball team faces No. 16 Oklahoma this weekend at Isotopes Park.

The team has the difficult task of trying to get on the winning track against No. 16 Oklahoma this weekend in a three-game se-ries at Isotopes Park.

Even with their losing record, Melendez said the Lobos don’t have any extra pressure to win this weekend.

“It’s definitely important to get momentum, but there’s no need to panic right now,” he said.

Oklahoma comes into the game with a 4-3 record. Two of the Sooners’ three losses this season have come by seven runs or more, including their loss on Wednesday to University of Texas, Arlington 10-2.

The Sooners aren’t part of the MWC, and Birmingham said he’s most worried about games against conference opponents.

“The biggest thing I like about these games is that in the end, they don’t count,” Birmingham said. “We’re just trying to win our confer-ence and get into the tournament.”

Birmingham said he doesn’t concern himself with the ranking of the opposing team.

“I don’t care if the Yankees are in the other dugout,” he said. “I only care about the team in my dugout.”

UNM was the favorite to win

in its first two series, but now they are an obvious underdog against the Sooners, which isn’t a

problem for some of the players.“I love being the underdog,”

Melendez said. “People look down

on you, but when you kick their butt, they’re a little more upset about it.”

Seniors battle for MWC title

Dylan Smith / Daily LoboFreshman guard Hugh Greenwood tries to keep the ball away from two Air Force defenders last Wednesday in The Pit. The Lobos are playing their last MWC game of the season at home against Boise State on Saturday.

by Nathan [email protected]

Three men’s basketball players play their last game in The Pit this Saturday.

UNM (23-6, 9-4) takes on Boise State in its final regular season game as senior forwards Drew Gordon and A.J. Hardeman, and senior guard Phillip McDonald, play their final home game.

The Lobos are tied for first place in the MWC with San Diego State, but hold the tiebreaker over the Aztecs.

With a win, the Lobos will wrap up first place in the MWC, but Gordon said it’s going to be weird knowing it’s his final game in The Pit.

“It is definitely bittersweet,” he said. “This place has treated me with the utmost respect and I had good times and bad times in here. It is going to be rough saying good-bye, but I am happy to look forward to the future.”

Boise State (13-15) comes into the game with only three confer-ence wins and at the bottom of the MWC table. If UNM wins, it will lock down the No. 1 seed in the MWC tournament and will play Boise State in the first round of the tournament next week.

Last month, UNM beat Boise State on the road 65-49, with soph-omore guard Kendall Williams scor-ing 18 points.

Head coach Steve Alford said Boise State is returning some cru-cial players back from injury, so the Broncos’ first game against UNM doesn’t necessarily reflect how good the team will be.

“They have played very well and have gotten (back) some key guys who are playing and had been hurt, so they are a little more dangerous than when we played them the first game.” he said.

Gordon comes into the game av-eraging a double-double with 12.6 points per game and 10.8 rebounds per game.

Alford said it doesn’t matter who they are playing, the Lobos are only one game away from taking another MWC regular season title.

“We are going down to the last game of the regular season and we are 40 minutes away,” Alford said. “We are 40 minutes from winning our third title in four years. Regard-less of who it is coming in here, we are excited to play that game.”

The Broncos only have one play-er who has averaged double figures in scoring this year, Anthony Drmic, who averages 11.9 points per game.

The Broncos’ Dmric and UNM freshman guard Hugh Greenwood and sophomore forward Cameron Bairstow all attended the Australian Institute of Sport together. They face each other for the second time this season.

Greenwood, coming off a ca-reer-high 22 points in his last game, said he is excited to take on

one of his friends in The Pit.“Yeah, I can’t wait, I’ve told them

all about it (playing in The Pit),” he said. “I’m looking forward to seeing them and seeing them play in The Pit. Especially on senior night, too. It’s going to be a great atmosphere and hopefully they’ll be ready for it.”
