New Mexico legislators are threat-ening to close some college campus-es to try to reduce spending on high-er education.

� e Legislative Finance Commit-tee met Oct. 22 in Santa Fe to discuss how to cut down on higher educa-tion spending, but focused on con-cerns regarding funding the state’s 25-plus colleges.

“We have way too many cam-puses, and campus branches, and branches of these branches, and we’re just not going to be able to con-tinue funding these extensions,” said Sen. Carroll Leavell, a member of the committee.

“We can barely fund the campus-es we have, much less more,” Leavell said. “Universities are expanding without asking us if we have the funds to support them, and then they complain that we’re not su� ciently funding them.”

Although he said there is not currently a bill in the works to close branch campuses, Leavell said he

has heard “mumblings” among law-makers asking for branches with du-plicate programs to be closed.

Clipping branch campuses

Mesa Vista Hall renovations may force ethnic centers to start sharing resources.

The building, home to the three ethnic centers, hasn’t been ren-ovated since the 1980s, said Ve-ronica Mendez-Cruz, El Centro de la Raza director. She said as part of the renovations, the building would have one centralized ethnic center instead of each having its own location.

For Francisco Gonzalez, his custodial job at the SUB is a welcome distraction.

“If I wasn’t working, I’d probably go out of my mind,” he said. “It relaxes me from my homework.”

Gonzalez, 20, is majoring in astrophysics. He cleans the SUB each night by sweeping, mopping and taking out the trash in preparation for the next day.

Financially, he depends on the job, and, with the money he earns,Gonzalez pays his rent and most of his tuition.

While many people ignore the work he does, Gonzalez said he occasionally gets acknowledged. But being on the job for three years, Gonzalez said he’s used to getting ignored, and it doesn’t bother him anymore.

“From time to time, we get compliments for our work,” he said. “And there are other times when I feel like no one appreciates it. I know we play an important role in the SUB.”

the centers could leave one group underrepresented.

“Speaking as an African Ameri-can, since our numbers are so low, we’re going to get impacted the most,” he said. “We are very, very protective right now because a lot of our students aren’t from the state of New Mexico. This is their only place they call home.”

Jozi De Leon, of Office of Eq-uity and Inclusion, and Melissa Vargas, of the Provost’s Office, dis-cussed the matter with students and staff from the ethnic centers Oct. 20.

De Leon said the centers wouldn’t completely merge, but because of budget constraints, some services will likely be communal.

“It’s important when you go to an individual center that you have people that are role models, that understand where you came from, understand your identity,” she said.

The ethnic centers don’t have to produce a proposal until March 2011, and in the meantime they can work out a solution, said Stephanie Oyenque, a graduate assistant in American Indian Stu-dent Services.

“If we find ways to share space where there’s not an emotional or personal attachment, I think it could work,” she said.

De Leon urged students and staff to compromise when decid-ing what changes will happen.

“You know what happens when somebody dies and they end up fighting over the money left over in the will?” De Leon said. “It can tear people apart, and I don’t want to see that happen. So I want you to think about your own space, but also think about others, and that we’re trying to fulfill a need for all three of the centers.”

UNM says dormdemolition cheaper

Mesa Vista from page 1

ACC to build new main campus dorms by 2012

by Barron [email protected]

The future does not look bright for Santa Ana Hall.

As part of a two-phase plan, the University will demolish the 172-student dorm to make room for two construction projects that will add nearly 1,000 student beds to the main campus by fall 2012, said Kim Murphy, director of Real Es-tate Operations.

Murphy said that Santa Ana is more than 50 years old, small and requires improvements that could cost more than new construction. He said American Campus Com-munities, the same private com-pany constructing Lobo Village dorms, will pay for the demolition and the cost of the dormitories. A demolition date hasn’t been set.

UNM spokesperson Kar-en Wentworth said the project’s second phase will begin in the next

five years, with plans to potentially replace Oñate and Alvarado halls. She said ACC will likely unveil a preliminary look at the dorms in December.

“They are hoping that when-ever Lobo Village is complete, it will ease the pressure off of hous-ing, once construction begins,” she said.

Walter Miller, associate vice president of student affairs, said the projects encourage on-campus living, and students typically per-form better academically in that setting. He said UNM is working out financial terms for the Central Campus project.

“When we’ve looked at a na-tional modeling of success for stu-dents, having that residential liv-ing experience adds very much positive to their academic success and graduation, because it really helps build community and con-nect to the institution,” he said. “And you don’t get that part of the experience either by commuting or living at home.”

Editor,I believe that the record should be set

straight as to the facts about capitalism and liberty.

This rhetoric infects a large proportion of our population with the long-held belief that capitalism is at the heart of our woes.

People claim that businessmen are evil and greedy, and that politicians serve some sort of “general welfare.”

But do they? By looking at any historical evidence, one

finds this rhetoric to be completely false and at odds with logic and reason.

We are indeed moving at an unprecedented rate away from economic freedom — at an ex-tremely fast pace. Those who say otherwise are leading us down the same failing road traveled by many other countries in history.

In the 2010 Index of Economic Freedom, the United States ranks eighth out of 179 nations. A year ago, it was sixth.

The top 10 countries are: Hong Kong, Singa-pore, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Switzer-land, Canada, the United States, Denmark and Chile.

The bottom 10: Republic of Congo, Solomon Islands, Turkmenistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Libya, Venezuela, Burma, Eritrea, Cuba, Zimbabwe and North Korea.

So if we look at the freest countries, versus least free, we can see where it is more desirable to be. The same can be said when comparing

similar experiments, North and South Korea, East and West Germany. The more government involvement, the worse it is.

First, it is a common tactic for those that would prefer a strong centralized government to divert their bad policies of extensive regulation on “greed” and “laissez-faire” (or freedom).

But is this the truth? Milton Friedman, a Nobel Prize winning

economist, once said, “It’s always the other fel-low who’s greedy”

We never really look at ourselves. It is essen-tially human nature to call our own desire for more “justified,” while those who may acquire more are “greedy.”

Is it greed to take a risk? To build a business? To provide a product (or a service) to millions, who voluntarily decide whether they want to purchase it?

No, the greed comes from those who look to confiscate wealth. It comes from those who resent the “rich” and desire to see the wealthy miserable (not to see improvements in the sta-tus of the poor).

Capitalism is not corporate welfare by the government either. This is essentially what is going on with many corporations that donate money to politicians for special favors.

Capitalism is a free -market. Period. No gov-ernment intervention, except in the case of fraud, is easily defined with a few laws. Corpo-rations love regulations. It frees them of compe-tition and makes it a lot cheaper to do business.

The government also uses our hard-earned dollars (both Bush and Obama) to bolster those same corporate companies in the face of com-petition. Why work to improve when you sim-ply support your favorite politician? This does

not require more regulation; it requires more competition, more free market, to solve.

Capitalism is buying an Apple iPod or iPad voluntarily, at a mutually agreed-upon price. Both the seller and the buyer benefit. The buy-er, for example, increases his knowledge or ef-ficiency using the purchase, and the seller has money to invest in other endeavors.

After all, the seller has shown the ability to produce. The more that is produced or volun-tarily purchased, the more rewarded the clev-er innovator gets. Both sides rightfully benefit. Where do we find the justification for confiscat-ing from the producer?

The wealth is created by innovators and in-dividual businessmen where rich and poor mutually benefit. There is no pie, no zero-sum where if the rich have more, that means that I have less. That’s the lie. That’s where the class warfare begins.

Politicians haven’t proven they know how to manage our money. They have a monopoly on the use of force and the ability to engineer society, but who ever told them that they know what’s best?

They deserve no part of our earned dollars, especially when they have not proven to be able to run a business, or even balance their own checkbooks.

They are good at one thing; Telling us what we want to hear, then serving their own inter-ests. At least with the businessman, you usu-ally know what you are spending your money on. This is why capitalism — unfettered laissez-faire capitalism — works.

Editor,It’s proven that college makes you gain

weight. The “freshman 15” is the dreaded statis-

tic we hear entering college life. Stress can cause bad eating behaviors. Then, of course, students are busy — too busy to cook or have time to get to a kitchen between meals. It’s hard to be in college and eat healthy.

Mommy and daddy aren’t buying and making food. However, a healthy student is a good student.

USA Today reports that 66 percent of col-lege freshmen do not eat proper amounts of vegetables and fruits. Instead, the study showed 60 percent of freshmen eat artery-clogging saturated fat.

Fifty-nine percent of those surveyed re-ported not being aware of horrible eating hab-its until college, and 41 percent of students reported a decline in their overall happiness their freshman year.

There may or may not be a connection be-tween happiness and eating.

It can be affordable to eat well. The Unit-ed States Department of Agriculture suggests eating three times a day and limit snacking to twice a day.

Be aware of how often you eat and try to eat at similar times.

Livestrong suggests buying from farmers markets that sell cheap, local and fresh food. When you find time to go buy in bulk, freeze what you can.

Restaurants, for the most part, are a waste of money. Healthy places are expensive and the cheap restaurants are generally unhealthy and filled with fats.

Local grocery stores like Village Market, Fruit Basket and Talin Market are fairly cheap compared to grocery chains like Albertsons and Smith’s.

When you go, buy in bulk. Try to buy potatoes, oatmeal, whole-wheat

pasta, brown rice and beans. Seek sales on produce and take advantage.

If you do choose to snack, Young Women’s Health suggests animal crackers, canned fruit, protein and energy bars, fresh fruit, granola bars, high fiber cereal, nuts, oatmeal, pop-corn, pudding, canned soup, trail mix and tuna fish.

Try to cook if you can, and be aware of what you eat.

For now, I want to give you tips on making a college staple more exciting. College stu-dents are notorious for eating Ramen because it is cheap and hearty. The website, MattFis-cher.com, has recipes for Ramen.

Thelma GreenfieldUNM student

Editor,What have we done to our children and

grandchildren? We have destroyed their economic future by

demanding politicians give us legislation that makes us happy.

The cost of our happiness is the $13.6 tril-lion debt put on the nation’s credit card — our children’s card. Every American — children in-cluded — owns $44,076 of that debt, and it grows daily.

In 1960, when my first child was born, his na-tional debt was $1,608. It grew to $5,167 when my grandchild arrived in 1982. Now it is $44,000. Why?

Because we elect people to give us happy stuff like 99 weeks of unemployment pay rather than an honest look at the reasons our compa-nies move jobs to foreign nations.

Regulations, taxes and government poli-cies make the cost of manufacturing so expen-sive. Hershey chocolate candies are now made

in Mexico, not Hershey, Penn. Toxic wall board and baby formula is made in China.

The list is endless.The $26 billion job bill is a happy treat: lots

of stuff, but little of value. Teachers’ unions de-mand free Viagra, a waiver from participating in the health care bill forced on the rest of us.

The unions won’t accept a pay freeze or an increase in class size or firing inept teachers. Unions want a $200 billion bailout of their pen-sion funds that have been mismanaged by their leadership.

Congress members, eager for union sup-port in November, vote to give unions more by increasing our kids’ debt, even though the math does not add up.

Congress and the president prohibit oil drill-ing in Alaska, an oil rich land of the west, or in the Carribean and Atlantic.

We buy the natural gas we must have from other nations because of the regulations and prohibitions imposed by state governments. New Mexico has vast reserves of natural gas that cannot be used to heat our homes and fuel our factories because Gov. Richardson will not allow trucks to drive on grasslands to get that gas.

The people doing that drilling earn $60,000

a year. The state gets tax revenue, and gas costs less. Instead of gaining jobs and tax revenue, we send our money to people who want to de-stroy our way of life. Common sense says this is foolish. Common sense loses to environmental ideology.

A Florida electric utility built a solar plant next to a coal fired plant because solar must have 100 percent back-up. Even with special tax breaks, the cost per kWh of solar is twice that of coal generated electric.

Common sense says build clean operat-ing coal plants and nuclear to have the electric power we must have. Common sense loses to ideology.

Stimulus money has been used to teach prostitutes in China how to drink responsibly, study the effect of cocaine in rats and many oth-er follies.

We expect common sense from Congress but get nonsense.

This November, we must elect people of common sense if we are to save our nation for our kids.

by Susan Montoya BryanAssociated Press

UPHAM, N.M. — British tycoon Richard Branson has dreamed of go-ing to space since he was a teenager. He’ll get his wish when Virgin Galac-tic begins taking tourists into subor-bital space from a specially designed spaceport in the New Mexico desert.

Gov. Bill Richardson, a longtime space buff, remembers when as-tronaut Alan Shepard first reached space and man first walked on the moon. He wants to see space too, but he’s not willing to be among the first passengers on Branson’s out-of-this-world venture.

Branson and Richardson shook hands five years ago to build the world’s first dedicated spaceport. With the runway 45 miles north of Las Cruces complete, and the termi-nal and hangar facility nearly done, they see their partnership as a major milestone for the world’s burgeoning commercial space tourism industry.

It’s only a matter of time now — and not much time — before the in-dustry starts to take off, experts say.

“It’s a dream come true. It’s happened. New Mexico is going to be a leader in space tourism,”

Richardson proclaimed last week, standing on the nearly two-mile-long concrete runway at Spaceport America.

Others who were present includ-ed 130 journalists from around the world, a group of British school chil-dren, a few dozen people who have already paid hefty deposits to be among Virgin Galactic’s first custom-ers, and former NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who walked on the moon in 1969.

Branson and Richardson predict this place in southern New Mexico will be a hot spot in the next nine to 18 months. But it won’t be the only one.

The commercial space industry is rapidly developing with compa-nies like SpaceX of Hawthorne, Calif., seeking to supply the International Space Station for NASA. SpaceX, run by PayPal founder Elon Musk, has successfully placed a dummy pay-load into orbit and has contracts to lift satellites next.

Other firms, including Masten Space Systems of Mojave, Calif., and Armadillo Aerospace of Rockwall, Texas, are testing systems that would carry unmanned payloads to space.

Amazon.com Inc. CEO Jeff Bezos is also in the race with Blue Origin, a

Washington state company that plans to compete as a space taxi.

Boeing Co. has lined up Virginia-based Space Adventures to sell seats on the seven-person spaceship it wants to build to fly to the Interna-tional Space Station starting in 2015. Space Adventures currently sells seats on trips to the space station aboard

the Russian-built Soyuz spaceship.NASA Deputy Administrator Lori

Garver said the recent flurry of de-velopment in the commercial space industry dovetails perfectly with the agency’s intention of working more closely with the private sector. Just last month, Congress approved leg-islation affirming President Barack

Obama’s intent to use commercial carriers to lift humans into near-Earth space.

After 50 years of NASA space ex-ploration, Garver said, “we need to be confident that credible, innova-tive, enterprising and bold individu-als and entities are ready, willing and able to receive the torch.”

Susan Montoya Bryan/ AP PhotoVirgin Galactic’s White Knight Two mothership sits on the runway at Spaceport America in Upham, N.M. With the runway complete and the terminal and hanger facility nearly done, Gov. Bill Richardson and Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson accomplished a major milestone for the world’s burgeoning commercial space tourism industry.

Knee surgery sidelines center for a monthby Ryan [email protected]

For Drew Gordon, it was an in-jury that sounded scarier than it turned out to be.

� e UCLA transfer had surgery Monday to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. Gordon had an MRI on Oct. 21, and that’s when the tear was discovered.

“Drew’s surgery went extreme-ly well,” head coach Steve Alford said. “� e tear was actually a lot smaller than (doctors) thought. So, we are hoping his rehab stays right on course for the four-to-� ve week frame.”

Gordon, who is projected to be

UNM’s starting center, can’t play for the Lobos until Dec. 17 because of NCAA rules. After transferring at the end of fall 2009, Gordon tweaked his knee during practice Oct. 20.

� ough he is on crutches, Gor-don said at Wednesday’s practice that he felt better than expected.

“I am glad that we got it out of the way,” he said. “I was real nervous going into it, obviously, since I had the same surgery two and half years ago. � ings couldn’t have gone bet-ter. I am real happy, and it’s feeling good. It’s swollen, but, for the most part, it’s held together real smooth.”

Just three weeks ago, Gordon was named the Mountain West Confer-ence’s Newcomer of the Year. He said the setback hasn’t altered his season outlook.

With UCLA, Gordon started six games and averaged 11.2 points per game. He also nabbed 5.3 rebounds and averaged 11 minutes of playing time.

Gordon said his game shouldn’t be a� ected by this latest surgery.

“� e doctor told me that it was one of the best cases he could have seen,” he said. “He went in and thought it was about 65 percent de-stroyed, and I think it was only 20 to 25. So, you know, I was really thank-ful for that, and they did a really great job on the surgery.”

Considering that Gordon descri-bres himself as an in-your-face post player, the news is as good as it can be.

“I’m a garbage man,” Gordon said. “I like to rebound and block

shots. I get into pushing and shov-ing underneath the basket. I don’t like people pushing me around un-derneath the basket.”

Now Gordon must complete about a month’s worth of rehab be-fore he can play. Since he has to sit out until Dec. 17 anyway, Gordon said the timing of the injury is a blessing in disguise.

“I just get a chance to sit out and watch the team come together,” he said. “I am going to kind of get coached from the sideline. Once you sit out, you have a new appreciation for the game that you have never re-ally realized that you have had for a while. It’s slowing me down, but I am getting closer to my goal, and that’s playing in December.”

The good news: Last year, UNM beat Colorado State 29-27 in its only win of the season.

The bad news: This year, the Rams, 2-6, are improved.The Lobos, 0-7 and searching for their first win, travel to Fort Col-

lins, Colo., on Saturday.Head coach Mike Locksley said UNM is coming off its strongest per-

formances of the year, a 30-20 loss to San Diego State at University Stadium.

“I think our guys expect to get the best from Colorado State,” Lock-sley said. “Colorado State is a program like ours. They are playing young players and young quarterbacks. But they have found some ways to get wins and get some success.”

Saturday’s game marks the 58th meeting between the two teams, and UNM won three of the last four matches. Arguably, if there is ever a chance for the Lobos to seal a win, this could be it.

In three of the teams’ last four meetings, the game came down to a last-second field goal.

Not focusing on the past, CSU head coach Steve Fairchild said the Lobos are more cohesive than they’ve been all season.

“There is no question that New Mexico flashes in a lot of areas,” Fairchild said. “They remind me of kind of like we were prior to the UNLV game, and they were about ready to put it all together. So, we’re going to have to have a great week and perform at a high level to win on Saturday.”

UNM will be without running back Demond Dennis’ services. Lock-sley announced at his weekly news conference that the sophomore was dismissed because of academic problems. He was the Lobos’ lead-ing rusher through seven games and ran for a career-high 133 yards against CSU last year.

Locksley said the brunt of the work falls on tailbacks Kasey Carrier and James Wright.

“We have to prepare ourselves for a physical game on both sides of the ball,” he said. “But after watching the tape, I’d say that James is one of the players that I think has come the furthest from the foot-ball standpoint. He’s a guy that you have watched practice the last few weeks, you’ll see why he was able to play the way he has the last couple of weeks.”

In the Lobos’ last two games, Wright carried the ball 22 times for 109 yards.

But the downside is that UNM hasn’t won a road game in Fort Col-lins since 2006. The Lobos look to break their 13-road-game losing streak.

Locksley said the Rams will be looking to avenge last season’s loss.“We’re going to be able to find a way to get this thing going,” he

said.

Will this year’s result resemble last year’s?

It’s gone from months down to weeks, and now it’s only days away.

The UNM men’s basketball team is ready to defend its back-to-back Mountain West Confer-ence regular-season championships. The Lobos kick off their season with a pair of exhibition games, starting with Eastern New Mexico on Wednesday.

“We’re obviously getting really excited, but we have still got a lot of work to do,” head coach

Steve Alford said. “But we’re hopeful that we get to move into our brand-new building this weekend.”

Senior point guard Dairese Gary said the new Pit is like an arena he has never seen.

“It’s amazing,” he said. “Probably one of the best facilities in the country, I think. But just looking at it, there has been a lot of work put into it, and I just can’t wait to get in it. Even though I am only going to get one year, they could have started (the renovation) earlier.”

Despite the anticipation, the Lobos are trying to avoid distractions. Championship Videos and Books is filiming the team’s practices this week.

From a national standpoint, Alford said, the

coverage is always positive so long as it doesn’t take away his players’ focus.

“It’s been very busy for me,” Alford said. “That’s because you put your architect hat on and try to get the final details. There are just a lot of question marks, and we’re going to use this ex-hibition season to kind of get through all of that.”

Having to invest his attention in so many di-rections, Alford said he’s had little time to reflect on the fact that the Lobos play Manchester Col-lege on Nov. 6.

Alford started his coaching career at Man-chester College, a small liberal arts and sciences school in North Manchester, Ind.

“I think the president of the college is coming

and the regents are coming,” Alford said. “There is going to be big contingent of Manchester Col-lege people. The baseball coach when I was there is now the athletic director, so it’s going to be neat to see.”

But what media and fans real-ly want to see is who will start against Eastern New Mexico on Wednesday. In that regard, Alford is staying tight-lipped, and he said he isn’t even sure who the starting five will be.

“I don’t even know if I have a starting one yet,” he said. “We had a scrimmage on Sunday, and it didn’t go real well. So we’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Alford gears up to start season in new Pit

Defending national champion Duke was a runaway No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason Top 25 men’s basketball poll.

At the other end of the Top 25 there was big news Thursday with San Diego State entering the rankings for the first time ever, to a roster featuring highly touted freshman Kyrie Irving and trans-fer Seth Curry, Stephen’s little brother.

Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski doesn’t think it’s fair to say a team is trying to repeat when there have been so many changes since the Blue Devils beat Butler for their fourth na-tional championship.

“To repeat is a bad word (to use),” said Krzyzewski, who spent the summer leading the U.S. na-tional team to the gold medal at the world championship. “... What you want to do is have the same result, of winning the nation-al championship, but figure out what journey you’re going to be on along the way. And so pursue is a good word for me, and devel-op. We’re going to be a developing team throughout.”

They’re also a team that gar-nered 55 first-place votes from the 65-member national media pan-el, easily outdistancing Michigan State, which had eight No. 1 votes. Kansas State was third, followed by Ohio State and Pittsburgh.

Kansas State, which matched its highest ranking since 1962, got the other two first-place votes.

Villanova, Kansas, North Caro-

lina, Florida and Syracuse round out the top 10.

“Anytime a team is voted No. 1, it is an honor,” Krzyzewski said. “We’ve been fortunate to be in that position several times at Duke, and we are appreciative when people think so highly of us. How-ever, we have a lot of work to do to get ready for the regular season. We have a talented, but develop-ing, team. As always, our defense needs to be constant throughout the year in order to succeed at the highest level.”

Since the preseason poll began in the 1961-62 season, Duke’s sev-en No. 1 nods are tied with North Carolina and one behind all-time leader UCLA.

The six previous preseason No. 1 rankings turned into one na-tional championship (repeating in 1991-92), one national runner-up (1998-99), one other Final Four appearance (1988-89), two re-gional semifinal losses (2001-02, 2005-06) and one second-round exit (1978-79).

Kentucky, which had five un-derclassmen taken in the first round of the NBA draft, was 11th followed by Gonzaga, Illinois, Purdue, Missouri, Baylor, But-ler, Washington, Memphis and Georgetown.

The last five ranked teams were Virginia Tech, Temple, Tennessee, BYU and San Diego State.

The Aztecs return five starters from last season’s team that won 25 games and earned the school’s sixth NCAA tournament bid, all of which resulted in first-round losses.

“I didn’t know San Diego State had never been ranked until

someone mentioned it to me ear-lier this week,” said Aztecs coach Steve Fisher, who led Michigan to one national championship and two other title game appearances.

“This is nice surprise but makes me — and I believe all of us — proud of the fact we now have national recognition for San Di-ego State that’s always had a good basketball program. It’s not just Orange County now, a lot of plac-es will be surprised and pleased we’re there. It’s another first for our program and hopefully not the last.”

Duke is tied with Michigan State for the longest current streak for being ranked in consecutive polls at 59. The streaks started with the preseason poll of 2007-08.

Four schools that were not ranked at all last season made the preseason poll: Missouri, Mem-phis, Virginia Tech and San Diego State.

Four schools in the poll did not play in the NCAA tournament last season, including No. 8 North Carolina, which reached the NIT championship game. The others were Illinois, Memphis and Vir-ginia Tech.

The Big Ten, Big 12 and Big East all had four teams in the rankings, while the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conference both had three. The Mountain West was the only oth-er conference with more than one team in the poll.

Three teams from last season’s Final Four made it — Duke, Mich-igan State and Butler — with West Virginia the only one not to make it.
