With no national health care plan in America’s immediate future, the Student Health and Counseling Center is working to reduce insur-ance costs for students.

LAS VEGAS — President Barack Obama’s intense focus on jobs in his � rst State of the Union speech hit close to home for the millions of Americans who are in a bad mood over their � -nancial distress a year into his term.

Daily Lobo asks you:What’s your reaction to Obama’s State of the Union address on Wednesday? And if you didn’t see it, what did you think of his first year in office?

“I listened to it on the radio. He made a lot of promises that I’m not sure he can live up to, but I also think that he’s got a lot to do. He’s got eight years of serious damage that he’s not going to fix in a year. I think that if he can accomplish anything in his four years then he’s doing well.”

“I thought it was a good speech, and he encouraged the nation. I think he is right in saying that we can only improve and get better from here.”

“I think he still needs to make more changes.”

“I thought that, as always, Obama was a great speaker so there was no disappoint there. … So we know that he’s a great speaker. How much is he actually going to accomplish? We know that he says wonderful things. He mentioned tax cuts for students and loan forgiveness if you work in the public sector and things like that. We’re just waiting to see how many of those things are going to translate into action.”

Committee in response to Griego’s memorial.

In fact, Saavedra’s data � nds 229 of the top 250 highest-paid UNM employees are faculty members. Saavedra’s data also lists UNM ad-ministration salaries as 0.73 percent of the state’s appropriation to the University.

However, Griego said the me-morial has been well received by

his colleagues at the Legislature, but he encouraged members of the UNM community to call their leg-islators to ensure the resolution is passed by the House and Senate.

“If they continue to keep the pressure on their legislators and the governor, I think it will pass. It’s all in their hands somewhat,” he said. “Unfortunately there’s a lot of political influence on the

Board of Regents. The way our system works is you get to be a re-gent by giving lots of money. A lot of people are running up here and they don’t want to bite the hand that feeds them.”

The memorial will go before the Senate Rules Committee to-day at 9:30 a.m., and, if it passes, will go to the Senate Education Committee.

through their parents. Despite the relatively high price

for insurance at UNM, students must pay the money up front and can’t get payment plans unless they sign up for an entire year.

Student Andrea Torrez said if a monthly payment plan was avail-able, she would be more likely to get coverage.

“It has to be a lump-sum payment — that’s what’s hard,” she said. “If it was spread out it wouldn’t be so hard, because it’s better than most.”

Torrez is the only person in her family without health insurance be-cause it is so expensive, she said.

“My husband gets it through his work, but it’s so ridiculous for a spouse and my kids,” she said. “Since I’m in school, they’re lucky enough that they

get Salud!, which is like Medicaid for kids.”

Medicaid is free health insurance provided by the state and federal gov-ernment for families with low income, according to the New Mexico Human Services Department Web site.

Kloeppel said the Student Health Insurance Committee will continue to meet through March. She said stag-gered payment plans will be part of the discussions. She also said UNM probably won’t make health insur-ance mandatory like CSU-Boulder.

“I don’t see an insurance require-ment in the near future, but we may see a requirement with health care re-form at the national level,” Kloeppel said in an e-mail.

Insurance is mandatory for inter-national students, according to the

O� ce of International Programs and Studies, although they can chose any provider.

Teaching and graduate assistants receive free UNM health insurance coverage as part of their employment.

Tamara Zibners, UNM student and teaching assistant, said she now receives free heath care through UNM but purchased it last semester when she wasn’t a TA. She said the insur-ance can be helpful for all students — if they utilize it.

“� e main bene� ts that I come here for are probably women’s health, and I’ve been going to the counseling services, which is a really wonderful resource to have here,” she said.

Last semester she said she paid around $600 for health insurance at UNM.

Editor, Last Friday the Daily Lobo featured an ar-

ticle entitled “Not all centers created equal.” In the article a UNM student talks about her experience at one of the five local Care Net Pregnancy Centers. The student is quoted as saying “I thought they were a Planned Parenthood.” Care Net, a pregnancy sup-port center, has very clear signage on both the exterior of the building and on the door. The student would have walked past three signs announcing she was at Care Net. She would have signed consent for services that explained the scope and limitations of Care Net services. It is mystifying how a univer-sity student could be that mistaken.

The student relates that when she stated she wanted to have an abortion, “She (Care Net Representative) told me basically that God was going to send me to hell for doing that.” Any statement of this nature would be a gross violation of Care Net policy and is grounds for dismissal (of any employee that would say something like that). Care Net policy requires that we relate medical-ly accurate pregnancy option education in a neutral, compassionate and non-judgmen-tal manner. Clients select or decline services as they choose. No services or information, including spiritual assistance, are to be giv-en without client permission. The theologi-cal belief expressed by this statement is also a serious violation of the Care Net statement of faith and practice. The concept that God cannot or will not forgive an offense, in this case abortion, is contrary to our beliefs. Such a view would undermine the help we offer to women and men who come seeking healing from pain over an abortion choice. Those in our pregnancy loss support programs fre-quently express a need to overcome feelings of grief, guilt and shame. Our goal is to help those who struggle with regret find peace and a renewed relationship with God.

Care Net’s pregnancy support includes helping women locate services for housing assistance, material needs, insurance, food and medical care during pregnancy. Dur-ing intake we ask clients a number of as-sessment questions because we assist with a broad range of needs. That assistance con-tinues if the client has further needs during or after the pregnancy. Many of our clients continue to use our services until their child reaches the age of two.

Is anything sustainable? Newton’s laws of physics tell us that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Where in a tangible world is there ever not an interaction between two forces? Perpetual motion, much like hap-piness or the concept of sustainability, is not possible without constant interaction of outside forces in the real world. Once we see what is needed of the individual, if there really is such a thing, we can then step in and continue the motion. It just might have to take place without a combustion engine, but more with the sweat of our brow.

I live in a free society where I am an indi-vidual, making individual choices. My opin-ion is formulated on my own and chosen by me. I am free to do as I will, with the worst pressures on me being economic ones, hav-ing my actions limited only by my financial lacking. The depiction of Western society seems strikingly close to reality. Although the West is often thought of as a frontier for freedom and enlightenment, the very think-ing that has brought us as a society closer

to a technological and economic utopia has damned us to a life of solidarity and paranoia.

I was reading Bill McKibben’s book Deep Economy and it made me think — the vast fruits of wealth that we have accrued have not made us any happier. In fact, he states that anything above $10,000 annually does nothing to improve one’s satisfaction in life. He goes on to say that happiness/satisfac-tion with life ranges across the world in all socioeconomic ranges and that the only sta-tistical trend that holds true when it comes to happiness is that there is no trend.

Happiness is relative, and the act itself can only be defined as already being hap-py. Just as something is only carried while in the process of being carried. When you think of emotion in such an objective way, it stands that happiness is not to be the same for everyone and that being happy is the only thing that truly causes happiness. After you accept these “truths,” and I use quotes because truth is a loaded word, the path to happiness or satisfaction with life will nev-er seem to be obtainable by monetary mea-sures or maybe anything.

McKibben talks a lot about the concept

of more and better, mostly that they need never to be paired together, which raises the best point so far: efficient production does not mean quality, nor does it even re-ally mean efficiency. I think a better term to serve the discussion is “convenient pro-duction.” The refusal to price our natural re-sources as they should be, including human capital is a matter of convenience rather than efficiency. It is a refusal of reality and an impending rut that industry is about to find itself in. Where McKibben and I differ in opinion is that I believe progress does promote happiness. Not progress in the way of monetary gains, but in achieving a sense of purpose. The feeling of success in life is undoubtedly connected with a feeling of satisfaction for one’s own life. Progress as it stands now leads to overwhelming excess in exploitation and production. But it should be separable from waste. The concept of sustainability is progress for humanity in an opposite way, one without waste.

So where do we stand now? The fact that anti-depressants are more prescribed than any other medication in the United States is saying something. What we are doing isn’t working.

Finding happiness in an unsustainable realitycOLumn

Editor,On Wednesday, UNM staff members ar-

rived to uproot the “Hokona Community Gar-den,” a sustainable vegetable garden started by one of the dorm’s residents, Alex Borows-ki. In what was a dirt pit, sprouting weeds and collecting cigarette butts, there is now lettuce, kale and broccoli. What was the purpose of its destruction? UNM has done little to encour-age gardening and its determination to dig up

the sprouting plants does not speak highly of its respect for student ingenuity. This project was completed and maintained with the help of volunteers and done at the expense of the students involved. It was created with the goal of educating Hokona residents about sustain-able planting and showing the natural beau-ty of growing one’s own produce. Seeing the plants sprout and grow brought students to-gether around the edges of the garden and led to discussions about the importance of the environment. This is a perfect example of stu-dents trying to give back to their community, share their interests and indulge in the curios-ity education fosters.

I am greatly disappointed if UNM feels it must destroy the work of its students and hope that a compromise can be made to save the Hokona Community Garden. This project was created with the hope of bringing students together with a common goal of sustainabil-ity and it has done just that. If this garden is turned into a garbage collecting pit or an un-sustainable fountain as suggested, it will be a great loss to the residents of Hokona and the UNM student community.

Last weekend, Peyton Manning won a game while losing — and it was terrifying.

It happened late in the first half, with the Colts down 17-6 to the New York Jets.

To that point, Manning had been pressured, bruised and swat-ted by the suffocating Jets defense. Reggie Wayne had gone missing, thanks to all-universe corner Dar-relle Revis. And the Colts’ running backs, to no one’s surprise, were under-whelming.

But then Manning had his “A Beautiful Mind” moment.

He figured out the NFL’s top-ranked defense. First on a dump pass to Austin Collie that went for 18 yards. Then he threw a soul-crushingly perfect bullet through double coverage, placing the ball gently in the hands of Collie for 46 yards up the seam.

And that was it. Everyone watching knew the

game was over. The Colts went on to score, of course, and the Jets came out in the second half with all the life sucked out of them, fail-ing to reach the end zone again and again as Indianapolis cruised to a 30-17 victory.

This has been a recurring theme all season: When Manning slides into his tunnel-visioned groove, there’s nothing anyone can do to stop him.

Blitz and he’ll throw dump passes. Double-cover and he’ll throw underneath. Lock down the sidelines and he’ll make you pay in the seam. Not to mention, he’s this team’s de facto offensive coordinator.

Like many, I got a lit-tle desensitized to Manning’s

routine brilliance. Watching him torch the likes of

Houston and Jacksonville all sea-son was less than moving. It didn’t help that the Colts ended the reg-ular season with a whimper, rest-ing their starters for two games be-fore rolling over Baltimore in a 20-3 playoff snoozer.

The AFC Championship, how-ever, was a cold reminder of Man-ning’s steely otherworldliness. He demoralized a Jets defense that made a Johnson out of a Chad Ochocinco and put the final nail of embarrassment in LT’s (LaDainian Tomlinson) coffin. The New York defense was big, fast, smart and brutalizing, but Manning shrugged them off all the same.

And here’s the scariest part: He didn’t sit tight and exploit their mistakes — which were few. In-stead, he absorbed their best and demonstrated time and again that it wasn’t good enough.

That was his best game of his best season, and it just happened to come right before the Super Bowl.

There are countless factors that can decide the outcome of a foot-ball game — for instance, as the Vi-kings can tell you, turnovers — but I just can’t fathom betting against Manning. He’s facing a hot-or-cold Saints defense that tends to give up big plays at just the wrong moment. He’s made his gang of mostly anon-ymous receivers into household names. Oh, and he’s coming off an apocalyptic performance.

I’ve long been drinking the Kool-Aid with the Saints this season, and I know Drew Brees is capable of Manning-esque insanity, plus he has better receivers.

But that doesn’t overturn one inescapable fact: This is Manning’s year. We’re just lucky enough to witness it.

It’s Manning’s world,we’re just living in it

Perhaps the UNM ski team should scrap collegiate competi-tions and just head straight for the Vancouver Olympics.

Hyperbole aside, the UNM ski team is good — darn good.

During the second week of com-petition, UNM jumped to the top spot in SkiRacing.com’s NCAA pow-er rankings.

Although the power rankings for college ski teams are new this year, it’s an amazing feat to accomplish, said UNM junior skier Martin Kaas.

“It’s kind of cool to go out, get a good start right away and we will de� nitely try to (keep the No. 1 rank-ing) as long as we can,” he said. “It’s going to give us an edge in all of the upcoming races. Now we get respect from all the other teams, and I think it’s going to push us a little extra to keep up the good results.”

Still, the ranking just underscores what UNM’s been doing for years.

� e Lobos have won two of their last four events — the 2009 Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Skiing As-sociation championship and the 2010 Utah Invitational.

UNM earned 850 points in eight events, 29 more than Colorado, the previous No. 1 team.

UNM placed second at the 2010 Montana State invitational and third at the 2009 NCAA championships.

“It’s always fun when you are doing good and this year we have a lot more competition within (the) team,” said UNM skier Malin Hem-mingsson. “So, I mean, I have been pushing myself more, knowing that this is my last year racing.”

Hemmingsson is the only Lobo who is a two-time national cham-pion in any event.

During her freshman year in 2007, Hemmingsson became the 10th UNM skier to win an

individual national championship in slalom. Hemmingsson won her second championship in slalom last year.

Because of her impeccable track record, Hemmingsson said the members of the Lobos’ ski team look at her as a role model.

“I guess I kind of have to take a role as a leader or the boss,” she said. “But it’s really kind of a hard spot to be in, too, because you have to do everything good all the time. You kind of have to take everything into consideration when you’re working. Sometimes, I am really determined in what I want to do. I think that is good in one way, but can be bad in another way.”

� e Lobos will have a skiing event closer to Albuquerque next weekend, when they’ll compete in the Jade Enterprises/New Mexico Invitational in Red River and Taos on Feb. 5-6.

Kaas said it’s a treat to compete closer to home.

“I think it’s just a lot of fun right now,” Kaas said. “Of course, quali-fying for NCAAs is important, (but) we don’t really feel any pressure until the end of the season, when we’re building up for the NCAAs.”
