� e UNM community is responding to the earthquake in Haiti with on-the-ground support.

� e New Mexico Disaster Medical Assis-tance Team sent 23 doctors — six from Uni-versity Hospital — to Haiti for a two-week de-ployment. UNM DMAT members include specialists in emergency medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology, ac-cording to a press release.

Michael Richards, chairman of the UNM Department of Emergency Medicine, said the DMAT team will work in Port-au-Prince — Hai-ti’s capital — with a mobile surgical facility that has same accessibility and resources as any hospital.

“We are going with a 20-member surgical team from across the country. We’ll be rotating on a 24-hour-a-day system,” Richards said. “In-dividuals will be sleeping in tents with no elec-tricity or running water.”

In a phone interview Friday, Richards said he and his team are prepared for the response.

“We identi� ed our team for any deployment

weeks before the earthquake,” Richards said. “It takes months of training to prepare anyone for the environment, but someone with experi-ence in a disaster zone is the best, and we have a strong team with a healthy mix of experience and training.”

Of the six doctors, only UNM physicians Nancy Kurt and Joe Sparlon will be working in a disaster zone for the � rst time.

“Nancy has experience with an interna-tional medical responder’s unit, so she should be prepared for the stress and high intensity we will face,” Richards said.

NM DMAT is part of the National Disaster Medical System.

Richards said the team averages one de-ployment a year and responds to terrorist attacks, hurricanes, earthquakes, � res and � oods.

“We were at the Superdome during Hurri-cane Katrina and worked directly with the citi-zens of New Orleans in their time of distress,” Richards said.

UNMPD o� cers say they may have found a motive in the stabbing of a UNM student Monday night on campus: � e assailant allegedly slashed the woman’s throat for her cell phone.

� e victim told UNMPD o� cers that her attacker came up from be-hind her as she was talking on her phone, a BlackBerry, and slashed her neck while he snatched the device.

� e victim, a UNM student and employee, is reportedly in satisfac-tory condition at UNM Hospital, according to UNMPD spokesman Robert Haarhues.

“She’s obviously very tired from the trauma to her neck, but she’s resting comfortably over at the hos-pital,” he said at a news conference Tuesday.

Haarhues said UNMPD investi-gators don’t think the assailant is a UNM student.

Because the investigation is on-going, the police department’s re-cords department will not release the victim’s name. Also, it is Dai-ly Lobo policy not to release the names of crime victims without their consent.

Mike Westervelt, ASUNM vice president, is planning to pass leg-islation to provide more lighting on campus to make sure a repeat of Monday’s student attack doesn’t happen again.

“I don’t want there to be any more dark places where this kind of thing can happen,” Wester said. “I’m going to push really hard to get (something) similar to what the Johnson lights are, but all over campus — light the campus up to make it look like it is daytime even in nighttime.”

Westervelt said his advocacy of improved lighting resulted directly from the Monday night stabbing of a UNM student and employee. He said he helped the victim until para-medics arrived.

“We just want to be safe,” he said. “I think that’s what we all want at UNM. I didn’t realize how unsafe our campus can be before this.”

Zoila Alvarez, an ASUNM sena-tor, said she will draft a resolution asking administration to increase bike patrols, install better light-ing and put up more emergency phones.

“I hate walking at night on cam-pus as a girl,” Alvarez said. “It’s sad

After her son, student Kerry Lewis, was murdered last summer, Larissa has been protesting both in town and at the state legislature to make progress toward safety. The Monday night stabbing prompted her appearance at UNM. “You have to provoke people, you have to push buttons,” she said.

Sta� ReportDaily Lobo

Larissa Lewis, mother of murder victim and for-mer student Kerry Lewis, said the lack of security at UNM and surrounding areas is appalling.

� at’s why she protested Tuesday outside of President David Schmidly’s o� ce and in front of UNM on Central Avenue.

“Why isn’t he out here? Is he going to walk around campus tonight and stand by the anthro-pology area, which is right by his o� ce?” she said. “� at’s what I would do if I had any brains and I was your president.”

Lewis also picketed at the Roundhouse on

Monday, and, after Monday night’s stabbing, de-cided she’d stop by UNM campus.

Kerry Lewis was shot and killed in his apart-ment o� campus last summer.

Susan McKinsey, University spokeswoman, said Schmidly is very concerned about safety on campus.

“� e president said, ‘When it comes to safety, there are no budget concerns and no short cuts.’ We want this campus safe,” she said.

Robert Haarhues, UNMPD spokesman, said police are now striving to be more visible around campus. He said UNMPD is expecting the num-ber of police escorts to increase due to Monday’s incident.

The suspect is still at large, Haar-hues said.

“The investigation’s active,” he said. “We have a lot of leads to follow up on. A lot of the campus commu-nity is calling — surrounding neigh-borhoods are calling — and giving us information.”

The victim is enrolled in a music appreciation class that meets Mon-day evenings. She burst into the class-room in the anthropology building around 7:55 p.m. and said she’d been stabbed.

Several students bolted out of the room in pursuit of the alleged assail-ant, and several more remained and used their T-shirts to place pressure on the woman’s bleeding neck wound. Daniel Davis, who teaches the class, said in an e-mail that he’s proud of his students’ response when faced with the traumatizing event.

“I am very proud of how my

Music 139 class rose to the occasion, offering help to the victim and assist-ing the authorities as witnesses, re-specting the privacy of the victim and remaining relatively calm in a stressful situation,” he said. “I am amazed and honored to have such a fine group of students.”

Davis said he encouraged his stu-dents to seek counseling if necessary.

“I am most concerned for the wel-fare of my students and especially for the victim of this crime, who is also a student of my music appreciation class,” he said.

Police are asking the UNM com-munity to be on the lookout for a 6-foot-tall, 150-pound black man who wore a black hooded sweatshirt and a black baseball cap the night of the assault.

Even though Haarhues said the crime was “very unusual,” he said it’s common for violent or disruptive

members of the community to wan-der onto campus.

“We’re constantly dealing with people who just come on the cam-pus to hang out,” he said. “We give them criminal trespass notices, and we move them off the campus, but it takes an administrative action to ac-tually bar them from the campus.”

Despite the incident, Haarhues said UNM’s campus is safe.

“We have very few crimes like this on campus,” he said. “We were even trying to remember when the last one happened.”

An hour and a half after the assault, two UNM TextMe alerts — which are sent out through a collaborative ef-fort between UNMPD and University Communications and Marketing — were sent out to students, faculty and staff who signed up for the service encouraging them to be vigilant and travel in groups.

president of the Health Sciences Center Paul Roth.

“It was one of the first in the na-tion at the time,” Richards said.

About 200 volunteers from

around the state comprise the NM DMAT, according to a news release from the group, but typically about 35 team members are assigned to a disaster response. Team members

include physicians, nurses, phar-macists and emergency medical technicians, as well as administra-tive, security, safety, logistics and communications personnel.

that it takes an event like this to shine light on the safety issue.”

She said ASUNM may also or-ganize a self-defense workshop open to all UNM students.

Westervelt said students shouldn’t be frightened indoors or outside of night classes. He said this incident can be an oppor-tunity to demand better campus security.

“I think it’s important for stu-dents to be — instead of afraid — to be proactive,” he said. “Demand that there are lights everywhere. Demand foot patrols by UNMPD.

Only us as students can really af-fect that kind of change.”

Westervelt said he went to UNMH on Tuesday to see the victim, but she is not yet allow-ing any visitors. He said he spoke with some of her family members briefly.

“They said she’s going to be OK physically, so that’s good,” he said.

He said that after the victim laid on the floor in the music apprecia-tion classroom, she requested that a student call one of her friends.

He said a student dialed the number for her and held the phone

up to her ear so she could tell the friend what happened to her and where she was located.

Westervelt said the victim men-tioned she was on her cell phone outside the anthropology building when the attack happened.

“I think she was as calm as she could be,” he said. “We told her to continue to breathe slowly.”

The entire class — 88 people, according to LoboWeb — came to the victim’s aid.

“Everybody jumped up,” he said. “Everybody in that class de-serves a hero’s award.”

I’m taking a sustainability class. We’re talk-ing about food sheds, or the perimeter around Albuquerque in which getting food from is considered local and sustainable. Albuquer-que has a food shed of about 300 miles.

I eat within my food shed year round for the most part, with an occasional dip into the seafood section. On occasion I slip and get some tomatoes during winter — sometimes a man just needs his red vegetable.

Having to exist within the food shed can be difficult. New Mexico is limited in its food shed. We don’t produce much variety and the things that there are a lot of are typical-ly hard to make an entire meal out of. I find myself feeling like an Irish peasant when the contents of my dinner is limited to a meager cabbage, butter and un-cracked peppercorn goulash.

I buy big burlap sacks of pinto beans to supplement the lack of protein in our food shed. New Mexico is not somewhere that pro-duces a lot of sustainable meat. Besides the pastoral chicken, your options are limited.

Growing up a vegetarian, I’ve never been able to fully accept meat into my life. When I have done so, I usually walk away with dis-comfort in my bowels.

The lack of variety in a food shed can cause even the most committed people to throw off the shackles and go grab crab cakes covered in Icelandic parsley - the furthest food possible.

To battle the feeling of lack of control, I suggest taking things into your own hands. Grow a garden.

“How might I do this?” you ask. Well, let’s go over some of the basics. The differ-ence between farm-raised food and gar-den-bred food is simple: On a farm, you’re trying to put as much resources as pos-sible into a decent amount of land. In a garden, you are putting a large amount of

resources into a small piece of land or even a set of containers.

This means you can get much higher yields from very small land sizes.

The limit of space in gardens has made people have to plant all their varieties clos-er together, which in turn has taught people how to use a mixture of plants to help them do the work.

Plants should never serve just one purpose. If you think your plant is serving one purpose, you are either ill informed or thankless. Just the process of photosynthesis alone provides all food and oxygen that we consume.

The seasons are changing, so let’s talk about what you can do right now. There is limited planting during the winter months in New Mexico. Most farms usually have a few winter crops. Garlic, onions, spinach, rad-ish, turnip, carrot and most lettuces will grow throughout the winter months. But the fla-vor of all plants, especially root plants, will be much milder than in the summer months. Some plants, like the radish, are favored in the colder months because of their subtle spici-ness. I know as a kid they were too much for my taste buds throughout the year.

Summer’s selection is much bigger. But in our climate the heat and lack of water can take it’s toll on crops. Chiles, bell pep-pers, tomatoes, potatoes, basil, strawber-ries, raspberries, nut trees and other herbs can all flourish in the summer time.

There are some things to consider when you start planting. The natural soil in most areas around the city lacks biomass and moisture. Bacteria and fungi are not pres-ent like they are in other places. Just throw-ing some seeds into the soil and waiting for results can leave you doubtful that anything could grow in a desert like ours. But with some techniques that satisfy space prob-lems at the same time, you can produce de-licious and high-yielding plants.

To bypass the natural soil problem, go

above it all. Plant in raised beds or contain-ers. You can completely control every as-pect of your soil and get it perfect. There are a multitude of planting mediums ranging everywhere from soil to soilless, all having distinct benefits and disadvantages.

I like an almost soilless mix with 25 per-cent compost, 25 percent perlite, 25 per-cent vermiculite and 25 percent coco fiber. The compost introduces natural bacteria and fungus along with trace nutrients that are important for plant growth. The perlite and vermiculite are both inorganic materi-als that hold moisture while still providing oxygen to the root system. The coco fibers are strands of coconut shell that have been broken down, pressure washed and steril-ized. The fiber holds water and nutrients really well with a benefit of helping overall soil structure. I like to soak the coco fiber in a natural insecticide called Neem oil before mixing it in with everything else. The best way to get rid of bugs is to start with only the beneficial ones — Neem oil can help.

The second tip for starting any garden is compost. You should be doing it anyways, if for nothing else, to reduce the amount of trash in landfills. But it’s the cheapest fertiliz-er you can get. There are a few things to know when starting to compost. There is no wrong way to do it, but there are things that help it go faster.

No meat or dairy, it takes too long and it attracts animals. Add enough water so that when you turn the soil it feels like a wrung-out sponge. No citrus, as the peels can take years to break down. And remember that to have compost you don’t need to turn it, but the more air you provide the bacteria and fun-gus the faster they do your work. Along those lines, you should try to get everything into your compost in the most broken-up physi-cal form.

Hopefully with this advice you can feel more secure in starting your garden today.

Editor,I would like to know how many attacks

it’s going to take before everyone admits that the police cannot be everywhere. And the administration needs to allow holders of conceal/carry licenses to do just that on the UNM campus. Not everyone wants to carry a firearm to protect themselves, but some people go through a lot of time and effort to earn a conceal/carry license, and it is very frustrating not to be able to use it.

I fail to see how it’s better for someone to be found bruised and bleeding, rather than filling out a report of how the guy ran when the firearm was exposed.

I have heard a lot of attack stories in the eight years I have studied and worked at UNM. Nine out of 10 (if not all) are of a wom-an being attacked by a man. Where is the support for women being allowed to protect themselves on campus? Where is the sup-port for all individuals to protect their right to life? Why isn’t anyone furious?

I am.

Jean Aragon UNM staff

In response to the breaking news story by Pat Lohmann, entitled “Suspected stab-ber at large around UNM,” Daily Lobo read-ers had a lively discussion on the topic.

by ‘Post American’ Posted Tuesday“In all my years at UNM I’ve never seen

the campus police ‘walking’ the beat.”

by ‘Student - on and off campus’ Posted Tuesday“Good fwor UNMPD for responding so

quickly. It’s those moments that count, and they know it. In my five years at UNM, I’ve seen UNMPD walking, biking and driving several times, especially in the instances I was on campus late at night. It’s hard to be everywhere at once, but they do a good job of taking care of this campus, look how of-ten this kind of stuff doesn’t happen. I hope they find the guy.”

by ‘David Wilson’ Posted Tuesday“This guy had a knife, and ran away. If a

student had a gun, and had seen him run-ning away, would he have shot at the assail-ant? Yes, very likely. And he would have been discharging a weapon illegally, because you can’t fire a gun at a fleeing criminal; you can only use it to preserve life or protect from serious imminent harm.

So you either end up hesitating and get-ting killed, or you end up illegally firing and getting charged.

I don’t have a problem with gun owner-ship, but people who are constantly wanting to take guns into new areas — our campus, bars, restaurants — do worry me. I think conceal/carry should only be allowed if you have had extensive training. It’s far too easy to get a license. Let’s leave policing to the police.”

If there are any rules of chemistry in the sporting world, especially in the realm of college athletics, it’s that winning with a young team is nearly impossible.

But head coach Steve Alford’s Lobos are the exception to the rule in the college basketball table of elements.

The Lobos, 12th in the Associat-ed Press poll and 15th in ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ poll, are 23-3 overall and 9-2 in the Mountain West Con-ference and are looking for their 10th straight conference win.

In the way of that is Wyoming, a team the Lobos will face today at The Pit.

“We are deserving of having a top-20 ranking,” Alford said. “We have talked about our youthfulness all year and that is kind of why I am shocked (with) where we are at, to be honest with you. But we talk about this, year in and year out, you are what your record is.”

The Lobos return to Albuquerque after two impressive road wins over UNLV and Utah, the latter coming in overtime.

Even more striking than UNM’s winning streak is what the Lobos have accomplished nationally.

UNM is one of only three teams, along with No. 2 Kentucky and No. 5 Syracuse, which is 5-0 against ranked opponents in 2009-10.

In the Ratings Percentage Index, the Lobos are No. 9 and in addition are 50th in strength of schedule,

according to RPIRatings.com. UNM is 7-2 against teams in the

RPI’s top 50, which puts the Lobos in a tie with Kansas and trailing only Duke — yes, Duke — which has eight wins against the RPI’s top 50 teams.

The Lobos have beaten MWC counterparts BYU, UNLV and San Diego State, and, as it stands, the Cougars, Runnin’ Rebels and Aztecs are currently staring upward at the Lobos, who stand in first place, with fives games to go in determining who will win the league’s regular-season championship.

But Lobo guard Dairese Gary said he doesn’t want UNM to be caught off guard, especially against eighth-place Wyoming.

“We have a saying on the wall that you have to respect every team that you play, especially in this confer-ence,” Gary said. “Because any given day, any team in this conference can give you a scare. And, you know, do-ing what we are trying to do, we have to take it one game at a time and win each game. We are not going to overlook anybody, because Wyo-ming — they could be as dangerous as BYU, UNLV or San Diego State.” To the general public, however, Wy-oming appears, on paper, to be an easy win for the Lobos.

The Cowboys are the second-worst 3-point shooting team in the MWC, ahead of only Colorado State. Wyoming has hit only 60 trey balls in its 11 conference games, while UNM averages 7.3 3-pointers per game and has hit 80 during its conference season.

� e Pokes are also the most disin-terested defensive team in the MWC, allowing 840 points, while only scor-ing 728, which is the worst in the conference.

Still, Alford said he needs the

Lobos to stay on track against infe-rior foes, like the Cowboys.

“� ese guys have to stay grounded and stay very focused on what they got to do, because we have two huge home games

this week,” Alford said. “� ey are dangerous and are coming to us — if I am not mistaken — losing � ve in a row. Heath (Schroyer) has done a wonderful job of just keeping them playing with major injuries all year.”

by Mario TrujilloDaily Lobo

From reading the tea leaves of the last � ve games, the UNM women’s basketball team (14-9, 6-5 MWC) should walk away from Wyoming with a win.

Over the last � ve games, at home, the Lobos have lost to teams with worse records than them — with the exception of a win over TCU — and beat teams on the road which were ranked above or equal to them in the Mountain West Conference. � e Lobos boasted wins against TCU, BYU and San Diego State, two of which were on the road, in a three-game stretch and then lost to Utah and UNLV at home.

Entering Wednesday’s game, Wyoming — tied with the Lobos for third place in the MWC — � ts this description.

But the dynamics of today’s game against the Pokes (15-8 overall, 6-5 Mountain West Conference) have changed.

One, Wyoming boasts the best home winning record (10-1) in the MWC. Two, point guard Amy Beg-gin will not play for the second game in a row. She su� ered a head injury against UNLV and won’t be ready to

play until Saturday.Without Beggin, Georonika Jack-

son will start at the point guard position.

“I think we are OK,” said head coach Don Flanagan. “We didn’t turn the ball over very many times against Utah without Amy in there. Defensively was my only concern. We don’t get quite the pressure on the ball, but, in the mean time, I thought those players did an ade-quate job of being the point guard and taking care of the ball.”

� e Lobos turned the ball over 13 times in their 52-49 loss to Utah on Saturday, a shade above their sea-son average.

But the Lobos need to be more concerned with their shooting per-centage, Flanagan said.

“It’s all about shooting percent-age,” he said. “Last time against Wyoming we shot 48 percent in the � rst half, 48 percent in the second half and 50 percent from the 3. If we shoot 40, we beat people. If we shoot 30, we have a tough game.”

In fact, the Lobos have won all four MWC games when shooting above 39 percent. And they have a MWC record of 2-5 when shoot-ing below that number. Strangely enough, the two MWC games they

won when shooting under 39 per-cent were against conference-lead-ers TCU and BYU.

To counteract this, Flanagan has told his hot players to shoot, and his cold players to get the ball inside.

“I’ve told a couple of them to shoot a little bit more,” Flanagan said. “If somebody has a good shoot-ing percentage, especially recently, we have encouraged those players to get those shots o� . More aggres-sive play is the key. We want to get inside. And it appears to me when we shoot 25 or more 3s, we shoot a poor percentage. We have to get it inside with either a drive or with passes inside. And our inside play-ers hit their shots.”

Even without Beggin, Flanagan is upbeat about the Lobos chanc-es, especially after a rousing prac-tice before the team’s departure to Wyoming.

“We had a good practice today, one of the better practices we have had in quite a long time,” Flanagan said. “I am encouraged by that and how hard we played. Amy was sit-ting there watching and said, ‘Gee, we should have played that hard against Utah’ ... Everybody is work-ing hard. Everybody wants to get back on the winning ways.”
