Professors and future bosses could be one and the same for law students.
UNM is the only law school in the nation with an active court system on its campus, the New Mexico Court of Appeals.
Rose Bryan, a 2010 graduate, said the court provides law students with a better opportunity to integrate themselves into the network of law professionals, as compared to other universities.

Websites and local bookstores promise the lowest sale prices on books and highest buybacks, but which one is really the best deal?
� e UNM bookstore sells new and used books, and o� ers buy-backs at half of the book’s original new price, according to Bookstore Director Melanie Sparks.
“We use a national pricing model, so the publisher sets the price for the new book and the used books are priced 25 percent o� the new price,” she said. “We have to have the book order from a faculty member and once we get the book order, as long as we need the books, we will buy them back at half of the new price, even if you bought it used.”
Sparks said a bene� t of the UNM Bookstore is having every in-structor-requested book in stock.
“I think we bring value to our customers, and we’re right here on campus,” she said. “We take returns back if you’ve changed your class, we o� er really good buybacks, and we also carry every single book ti-tle, which is really important.”
� e UNM Bookstore also of-fers an online book renting pro-gram they hope to expand this fall, Sparks said.

UNM’s incoming freshmen population is as unique as its � elds of study.
UNM is the only school in the nation which o� ers a major in � a-menco technique and choreog-raphy. UNM Studio Arts program consistently ranks in the top 25 in the nation, and is well known for its photography concentration.
University of New Mexico Hos-pital ranked 4th in the nation for best primary care, according to Med School 100, and its can-cer research program is world renowned.
� e � elds of study at the Uni-versity are shaped primarily by faculty interests, Wynn Goering, Vice Provost for Academic A� airs, said.
“What the students study is shaped by what the faculty study — that is, by their research,” he said. “Each curriculum in our 100+ major � elds of study is informed by the latest trends and discover-ies made by UNM faculty and their colleagues around the globe.”
Popular UNM majors include psychology, biology, political sci-ence, English, criminology and elementary education, accord-ing to the O� ce of Institutional Research.
UNM’s minority population is also among the largest in the nation, according to the O� ce of Institutional Research.
According to the Digest of Education Statistics, only 13.7 percent of U.S. high school graduates are Hispanic, and only 1.0 percent identify as Native American. In contrast, UNM population is 37 percent Hispanic and 6.7 percent Native American.
UNM draws students main-ly from New Mexico and speci� -cally Albuquerque. Its top feeder high schools are all Albuquerque public schools. UNM also attracts students from nearby states in the Southwest, the U.S. and abroad.

By Chelsea WorthingtonDaily Lobo Guest Columnist
Chuck Klosterman wrote an entertaining discourse on popular culture called “Eating The Dinosaur,” wherein he argues that “it is interesting to not know things.”
Why do we pursue knowledge then? Why are you on campus, reading a newspaper stuffed with information that various aca-demic folk wish to disseminate across the minds of the Lobos?
If it is interesting to not know things, if there is value in a mystery or excitement in
a conundrum, why is it so satisfying to reach the end and say, “This is what I’ve been try-ing to figure out!”
I’ll tell you why: Because it is fascinat-ing to know something simply for the sake of noticing all the years that you didn’t know it. Maybe not just regretting, but feel-ing the contrast between the emptiness of your mind five minutes before you discov-ered the meaning behind “The Wizard of Oz” or a particular color that you’ve never seen before.
Why do we like to taste foods someone else invented, new flavors of soda or new,
brilliant candies? Not because we want to try this new thing — to discover what we haven’t yet had — but because we want to feel the polarity between knowing and not knowing.
This week, while you discover last-min-ute facts about the history of jumping rope, the invention of LSD, or exactly how many minutes you can be late to your class with-out the teacher noticing, keep in mind the satisfaction human minds get from discov-ering unknowns.
Worthington is a UNM student.
Editor,
I’d like to inform your readers about a new resource on the Daily Lobo website.
� roughout the year, the Daily Lobo has tried to get the UNM administration to re-lease an electronic copy of the UNM salary book.
� ough the administration never pro-vided what we believe to be a document of public record, we succeeded in creating a searchable and, hopefully, sortable version of the book. Before, the book resided strictly in Zimmerman Library, was available in only print version and could be checked out of the library for only two hours.
We’re still working out the glitches, but the important thing is that the document is available on the Daily Lobo website, and it makes accessible a wealth of public infor-mation on the compensation of more than 11,000 UNM employees.
� e New Mexico Foundation for Open Government aided in this e� ort, along with former Daily Lobo Editor-in-Chief Damian Garde, the Albuquerque Journal and Kara Ol-guin, the Daily Lobo intern.
We created this online version of the book by scanning each page of the printed version and then compiling those scanned images into a Microsoft Excel document. � e docu-ment will be available temporarily in the on-line version of this letter, but it will occupy a permanent space on the Daily Lobo website in the near future.
� e Daily Lobo continues to believe that open government is one thing journalists are allowed to be biased about. We hope that UNM students, faculty, sta� and com-munity members will use this resource and o� er feedback on how to improve it.
� e Daily Lobo still encourages the UNM administration to release an elec-tronic version of a crucial public document that sits unread by University constituents, and we look forward to improving the book’s accuracy and accessibility.
We hope Daily Lobo readers will agree that this document is of great public value, and we look forward to continue serving as UNM’s independent student newspaper, both in print and online.

Dear Editor,
� ere was a time, not long ago, when at least a fraction of the readily available media in this country had as its goal to inform common peo-ple of what really happens.
� is was so they could take whatever action was needed to prevent the few ultra rich and powerful from destroying the middle class and making this nation another country ruled by the few at the expense of the majority.
Today, it appears that nearly all of the read-ily available media has aligned itself with the few ultra rich and powerful. � e media has become just another element in our society dedicated to the destruction of the middle class and the re-placement of the government “of, by and for the people” with a government “of, by and for the few ultra rich at the top of the Military Industrial Complex.”
� ere appears to be no way to prevent this from happening.
Since that appears to be the reality of this time in history, it is time to say “goodbye” to any semblance of democracy in this country and “hello” to “corporatocracy.” It was with a heavy heart that I wrote this; but I like to be one with reality, however painful that is at times.

Dear Editor,
My fellow graduate students and I are frus-trated about the latest spate of closures a� ecting Johnson Gym.
Now that the new schedule is out — covering the interim between this semester and summer school — our frustration has become even more pronounced.
Not only is the gym to be closed on weekends, the schedule tells us that the gym will be open only � ve hours a day on week days: 12-2 and 4-7. � e 4,306 graduate students can’t even park without having to pay during the earlier of these time slots.UNM o� cial numbers for last spring had enroll-ment at 26,098 students. Can the administration expect to serve that many in so short a time peri-od? Given the impossibility of the task, isn’t it fair to ask that the gym be made available?
� e school has programs through Recreational and Health Services to tell us why we need to take care of our bodies in order to ensure our mental health (not to mention the bene� ts to our grades).
So doesn’t making these services impos-sible to obtain counter their own stated goals?As someone who takes health and his well being seriously, I rely on the gym for the very reasons the school’s programs suggest.
� e current policy is forcing me to go elsewhere, to spend money I don’t have in order to do so and burn gas to get to and from other, private gyms.I have a BA and an MA from other schools, and their gyms were open nearly 24/7. It’s standard operating procedure at most schools, large-ly because of the bene� ts it confers to the stu-dents in terms of health, happiness and grades.
All students pay “fees” to ensure certain ser-vices are available to us. Graduate students use few of these, and of the ones we do use, the gym
is at the top of the list. Making the already-crowded gym
more inaccessible is robbing us all of a much-needed service, one we have al-ready paid for and deserve to have available.� e administration should expand student ac-cess to the Johnson Center. Cutting a few hourly positions isn’t a solution to their budgetary is-sues. Putting restrictions on students’ quality of life shouldn’t be an option.
� anks.

Dear Editor,
I would like some clari� cation from Parking and Transportation Services (PATS) Director Clo-vis Acosta on the impact of raising rates. I under-stand that this will be the � rst time in three years, but in the past three years the sta� has not had a raise. Yet, the University has raised our insurance rates and is raising our co-pays. Now PATS wants to chip away at our dwindling paychecks.
� en, to add insult to injury on our pocket books, PATS decided to place parking meter ma-chines in already cramped lots. In “B” parking, we have su� ered numerous losses in spaces due to new construction. Anybody on the waiting list can tell you that PATS is not issuing any new permits.
I had understood that the Yale parking struc-ture was to alleviate some of the congestion. Now it seems, without warning, PATS can take up spaces that we are already charged a premium on.
We should get a discount on them if PATS is go-ing to use vital parking spaces for their gain. Also they could save the $1300 they spend on the PATS personalized parking space in “B” lot if in fact they

to know that they care about whether or not I succeed, I know I wouldn’t be as happy a lawyer as I am here in this community,” she said.
Bryan said students have fre-quent opportunities to interact with and learn from the judges in the ap-pellate court.
Barbara Bergman, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, said the court-room has two seminar rooms at the back with one-way glass that allows students to watch court proceedings.
“You can sit in the rooms, hear the argument, and talk about it with-out disturbing the case,” she said. “Courtrooms aren’t [usually] de-signed like that. That was one of the primary motivations for designing the court room like that.”
Michael Bustamante, New Mexico Court of Appeals judge, has been at UNM since 1971.
He said at the start of his career, the state’s Court of Appeals was located in Santa Fe. In 1991 the court established a new location in Albuquerque, which hears most appeals cases, even though the official seat of the court is still in Santa Fe.
The court in Albuquerque was originally located in a tiny building, but in 2009 the court moved to a new, improved and soon-to-be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified building on UNM’s north campus.
The building is named after for-mer law school professor Pamela B. Minzner.
Bustamante said construction on the new building cost about $12 mil-lion, which was appropriated to the court by the State Legislature.
He said the court provides law stu-dents with a wealth of employment opportunities after they graduate.
“More than half of this court are UNM alumni,” Bustamante said. “I hire all my clerks from the law school, as do most of the other alumni here.”

One off-campus option, Campus Bookstore, offers more flexible pric-ing and buybacks, store owner Wes Strassle said.
“We have six book wholesalers,” he said “The wholesalers UNM has, and Samee’s has, and CNM has plus three more, so we have that many more outlets to get books and to buy books back from the students to send back to those people.”
Strassle said Campus Bookstore has a system that factors the age of the book, whether it will be need-ed for future classes, and whether a new edition will soon be released into pricing decisions.
“We have a lot of freedom in our system,” he said. “We look at the book, we can tell if it’s old, we can tell if it’s going to be in session for a while.”
Strassle also said Campus Bookstore will buy books back for half of book’s used price.
Another off-campus option for books is Samee’s Textbooks.
Samee’s sells books 18 percent cheaper than UNM’s bookstore and will buy books back for five percent more, Sam Cohen, of Samee’s Textbooks, said.
“We’re cheaper because our over-head costs are cheaper,” he said.

Go Lobos!
by Ryan [email protected]
The future is now for the UNM baseball team, despite a disappoint-ing 2011 season.
The Lobos have taken a step back-ward this year in regards to success, but the lack of wins hasn’t affected the young squad’s mentality.
Currently the Lobos are 16-36 this season, which is 22 fewer wins than last year’s NCAA tournament team.
“It was a little bit different than what I had expected,” freshman start-ing pitcher Jake McCasland said. “We don’t have that great of a record, but it has still been a good time for us.”
In 2010, UNM returned to the NCAA tournament with a 38-22 re-cord. It was the first time in 48 years Lobo baseball played for a national championship.
2011 had been built up to be a repeat performance of what the Lobos accomplished last season: back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances.
Despite only one returning starter with infielder Alex Allbritton, UNM and head coach Ray Birmingham hoped to rely on a rebuilt squad — a team full of freshmen.
But the young Lobos immediately got a reality check this season. UNM played one of the toughest schedules in the nation, in which the Lobos faced four ranked teams and played more games on the road than at home.
Freshman left fielder Sam Wilson said the challenging schedule has made the Lobos mentally tough.
“I thought it was a great year in gaining experience,” he said. “You know, we did have one of the top schedules in the nation, but it was a tough year.”
UNM is coming off of a four-game sweep at No. 8 Oklahoma. The Lobos were outscored by the Sooners 28-10, which included two 8-3 losses in a double-header on May 14.
But there is no negative attitude in UNM’s clubhouse.
Wilson said he embraced the dif-ficult opposition.
“It’s fun to go out there and, pret-ty much every series, play somebody that’s top in the nation,” he said. “It’s good to know that we can go out there and play with those guys, especially being as young as we are. I think it’s just building for the future.”
And McCasland has had person-al growing pains this season, as evi-denced by his performance on the pitching mound.
He started 13 games for the Lobos this season and mustered a 2-6 record with a 5.55 ERA. In fact, McCasland’s first career start at UNM was at No. 8 Arizona State in the second game of the season. Against the Sun Devils, McCasland went six innings, gave up 10 hits and allowed four earned runs.
But like Wilson, McCasland is us-ing the 2011 season as a learning tool.
He said the tough schedule shows that UNM will play anyone and anywhere.
“You have to go in there and play those teams like you have nothing to lose, and we really don’t,” McCasland said. “We just go in there and just take a few (games) from them.”
While the Lobos are struggling, they’ve looked good doing so this sea-son. UNM has played in a state-of-the-art facility.
For the last three seasons, UNM played at Isotopes Park, which is home to Triple-A baseball’s Albu-querque Isotopes.
McCasland said that as a fresh-man, it’s an overwhelming experi-ence playing in a minor league ball-park almost every day.
“I’ve played there a couple of times in summer ball, and in two state championships,” he said. “It’s a really nice field and great place to play.”

When I still had dreams, sugar plums and all that happy horsesh*t dancing in my head, I, like every young, impressionable child, want-ed to be a professional athlete. But it became painfully obvious, if not to me — because I was blinded by my own endearing childish oblivi-ousness — then to my parents that I didn’t have the physical stature or dedication to become one.
Oh, they played along. My father allowed me, at 8 years
old, to play in the Young American Football League. My mom would
pack up my siblings and haul us around to my games. And my du-tiful parents would sit there full of smiles and support. I was decent, but I wasn’t some child prodigy.
But I didn’t get it. I watched sports, lived sports, read about sports. One day, my dad decided it was time to burst my bubble. For two years running, I read and wrote my book report on The Emmitt Zone, an autobiography co-written by Hall-of-Fame running back Em-mitt Smith.
By this point, even my father, an avid sports fan, had tired of my fixa-tion. There are more things, he ex-plained, than sports. And so in that
spirit, he forced me to pick anoth-er book to write my report on. Not really having a choice, I obliged. I read The Transall Saga, a novel by Gary Paulsen. And I hated every minute of it — it was just some re-capitulated story about a 13-year-old survivalist who gets sucked up by a beam of light and ends up on a God-forsaken alien planet.
Twelve years later, seeing as how things turned out, you’d think my dad lost the battle, because instead of playing sports, I’ve dedicated my life to writing about them. He didn’t lose — he was right. Sports aren’t everything. There are other more important things in life. But sports are something — something far more important than what peo-ple make them out to be.
Far too often, athletics — and by extension sports writing — is attached to an unremarkable scarlet letter of being unimportant. For as big of a social institution as it is, sports are often trivialized —
thought to be a distraction from the real-world problems we face on a daily basis.
To an extent, they are. Save for the occasional stray
athlete who ventures into the po-litical arena, typically they are not who we listen to when it comes to social injustices, human rights vio-lations and national disasters. Ath-letes usually don’t use their built-in platforms to speak to the masses because they are conscious of their self-worth and how voicing politi-cally charged attitudes could affect their bottom lines.
The games themselves, well, fans believe they’re just games — noth-ing more, nothing less. There’s no need to dissect them and interpret them for their symbolic meaning.
Such an attitude is perva-sive, and permeates the journal-ism industry. At papers across the country, sports writers, much like photographers, are considered sec-ond-class citizens. It has irked me
throughout my four years writing and editing at the student news-paper. The sports desk is, in many minds, the “toy department” be-cause, supposedly, we don’t cover anything intensive, exhausting and hard-hitting.
The common misperception: being a sports writer is an enviable position. Punch the clock. Go cover a game. Jot down some notes. Get a couple interviews. Crank out a sto-ry. Easy money.
No stress. No bullsh*t to deal with. No politicians.
Conventional wisdom holds that sports writers live fanciful lives. We get paid, arguably, to write about a stupid, little, insignificant contest. That’s not to mention the built-in perks — you know, the schmooz-ing with players and coaches, the media luncheons with buffet-style sprawls fit for kings, the all-expens-es-paid mini-vacations to cover

lobo racquetball
by Ryan [email protected]
Racquetball is the fastest-growing sport at UNM.
For eight years the UNM racquet-ball club team has practiced and played on the top-level courts at John-son Center.
Ray Gomez, who has been on the
team for three years, said the club has expanded.
“In my first year, we maybe had eight people, and now we have around 20,” he said.
Since the racquetball team is a club sport at the University, like hock-ey and rugby club teams, the UNM racquetball club receives little fund-ing. Fundraisers and members’ mon-ey support the team. The UNM club is a part of the United States Racquetball Association, which allows the squad to play in national tournaments.
Andrew Moser, who has been a member of the club for four years, said that two years ago the USRA set up a five-year plan to have the sport be recognized by the NCAA.
“Hopefully within the next three years we will be NCAA-sponsored and become a scholarship sport,” he said. “At that point, (college) racquet-ball can take things to the next level because right now, we’re very indi-vidualistic. Teams are very unique to college.”
Racquetball can be played solo or in pairs, but Moser said that at the college level, they play individually and in nationals.
The UNM racquetball team com-
away games. I don’t want to leave this open
for interpretation: being a sports writer is not an enviable position; it’s a thankless profession. If it’s praise you seek, join the priesthood or a convent. Cash rules everything around you? Well, in that case, be advised to major in banking or big business. Is it fame that you fancy? Few, if any, take notice of bylines.
More than anybody else, sports writers are misfits — too uncoordi-nated and unathletic to play pro-fessionally, thought to be too dull-witted to cover something more important, like news. Perhaps, at some level, this is true. Maybe I’m deluding myself into thinking that I’m not channeling some part of my youth — that that desire to become a professional athlete never really died as I grew and matured.
Maybe I’m just a pseudo-intellectual who thinks that sports journalism doesn’t have to suffer from dumb-it-down tactics — that there are some fans who want to be challenged intellectually, that sports lend themselves toward
petes against regional teams instead of Mountain West Conference teams because funding is so miniscule, Mo-ser said. He said that UNM plays Utah, Colorado, Colorado State, Arizona, Ar-izona State and some Texas schools.
“We would try and travel a couple times throughout the year and try and play these teams,” Moser said. “Maybe we would meet in Utah, and Colorado would meet us there to and play a lit-tle tournament. That would be pre-na-tionals and help us out with rankings.”
This season the UNM racquetball team took 15th place in the nation-al tournament in April, but it’s just as much an individual sport.
The first-place finisher at the na-tional tournament earns a spot on the U.S. National Racquetball Team that competes in the Olympics.
Gomez said he lives for the sport, but there are others who play strict-ly for enjoyment. No matter their skill levels, Gomez said old and new club members have developed a tight-knit relationship.
“You just come and have fun and try,” he said. “If you like it, learn to love and just keep working at it. We have people who just love to play and they always show up.”
No glamor from page 7
scholarship and philosophy.That Jesse Owens’ triumph at
the 1936 Berlin Olympics was a glo-rious moment worthy of social and political exploration.
That Jackie Robinson proved sports are not just “a reflection of the mainstream culture or the so-ciety,” as the sports-journalist-turned-scholar Robert Lipsyte pro-claimed in 1979, but a venue where social reformation can be realized — a place where race, class and gender importance is diminished, if not meaningless.
That San Francisco Chronicle reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams brought us sports’ modern-day Watergate when they published Game of Shadows: Barry Bonds, BALCO, and the Steroids Scandal that Rocked Professional Sports, uprooting baseball’s dirty little secret — that sports have far-reaching implications outside of just the game.
Or maybe I’m still that delu-sional, little child — full of dreams, sugar plums and all that happy horsesh*t.

Get thee to a theater houseby Graham Gentz
Welcome to the slightly bigger pond, you big-fish fresh-man, you. The Daily Lobo knows that you’ve struggled and bled and suffered to get here, and we understand.
For we love each and every one of you. By Jove, do we ever.
That is exactly why we want you to have a leg up on the local theater scene. “Knowledge is power” is no joke. You’re blooming adults, casting the shackles of muted adolescence behind you, and the only thing holding you back is your ignorance of your new environment. But don’t worry, there’s more than enough bait for all.
Blackout TheatreCorner of 2nd and Gold Street
The Box is just a little too far from campus to be con-sidered a short walk from campus (though we’re not stopping you. That’s why we like you — you’re hardcore.) The trek is worth it, because The Box houses Blackout Theatre, by and large the most prolific and most excit-ing theater company in Albuquerque. The artistic core is composed of UNM graduates, each with the consid-erable drive and creative aptitude to make incredible shows from a technical, visionary and performance standpoint.
The Box also occasionally houses “The Reptilian Lounge,” a debaucherous late-night cabaret filled with new acts every time and audience participation. It is, hands down, the single best recurring performance event in all of Albuquerque. The fun you’ll have at any-thing else pales in comparison.
They also have local micro beer brought in on a por-table tap. Of course, you need to be 21 to partake, but what you do beforehand is none of the Daily Lobo’s business.
Aux Dog3011 Monte Vista Blvd. NE
Aux Dog is the closest off-campus theater. It’s located east (toward the mountains) from the back lots of the dorms past the Taco Hut/Pizza Bell on Monte Vista, that weird little caddy-corner street that zips southeast from the Girard and Central intersection. Aux Dog strives for exciting theater that challenges the concept of theater being a lame activity for freaks and fogies.
They’re always looking for new blood, and you don’t need to be an “actor” to think that this manner of thing is for you. Aux Dog’s upcoming shows include, but are not limited to, “Corpus Christi,” a play in which Jesus and the Apostles are gay men living together in modern-day Texas, and “Bat Boy: the Musical,” which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.
Popejoy HallCenter for the Arts (on campus)
The best way to deal with UNM’s Theatre and Dance department is to not feel like an outsider. Or if you do, don’t be intimidated by it. They’re people just like you, only sillier.
The best information about UNM shows, auditions, even local film (student and professional) is found deep in the bowels of the Center for the Arts building — so deep, in fact, they say it transforms into the “Fine Arts Center.” But for you freshmen that don’t long for the chance to peek at the labyrinth’s minotaurs, there is a shortcut.
On the west side of Popejoy is an open lot area and steps that lead up to double doors. Head through them and — BLAMMO! On the right hand side the Green Board awaits, and it’s packed with various tidbits on all manner of UNM excitement.
Shows for which to audition, volunteer or just plain see include, but would hardly be limited to, Christopher Marlowe’s “The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus,” (or just “Faustus,” if you prefer) and “Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
Theatre X, SCRAP and TricklockCenter for the Arts (on campus)
SCRAP Productions is UNM’s student-run theater company, more-or-less autonomous from the depart-ment, mostly interacting with it in a series of Kafkaesque precedents set by the faculty.
Theatre X is located in the basement of Center for the Arts, where much of the SCRAP or Tricklock productions are housed. Tricklock is the “resident theater company of UNM” and its members spend much of their time experimenting and inventing new ways to challenge people’s sensibilities.
The Vortex Theatre, 2004½ Central Ave. SE
Although tied more to the CNM experience, the Vor-tex is close and classy, and has served up slick theater in Albuquerque for many years. It is squarely set just south of Central on Buena Vista, three blocks east of University Boulevard and within sight of the Pita Pit. This summer they perform a second annual festival of Shakespeare plays, including a post-apocalyptic “Romeo and Juliet.” You don’t necessarily need to glue feathers to your gimpy leather jackets and football equipment to go see it, but if you do, The Daily Lobo will bring the Thunderdome.

Farm-fresh food deliveryby José M. Enríquez
There may be a way to support lo-cal farmers, eat better food and avoid the “freshman 15.”
The answer is fresh, local and healthy food, and thanks to Commu-nity Supported Agriculture programs (CSAs) it can come directly to people’s doors.
With CSAs, people pay a fee to a farm and buy shares in its production. As a return of that investment, sup-porters will periodically receive a box of fresh, locally grown, high-quality food.
Jesse Daves of Amyo Farms gradu-ated from UNM in 2000 and has been farming for 10 years. This is the second year Amyo Farms has been a CSA.
“Not everyone can live like a king,” Daves said, “But I feel that everyone can eat like a king.”
Daves said eating higher-quality foods leads to a higher quality of life.
“You develop that taste for really fresh, good food and it’s going to car-ry you through a life time,” he said. “You’re going to be healthy, you’re go-ing to feel better, and you’re just going to enjoy your life more.”
Molly Waters, an intern for Los Poblanos Organics, one of the larger CSAs in the state, said that purchas-ing local food helps students become more independent.
“Buying a box every week almost forces you to use items,” she said. “Just having a box of fresh produce at your house there for you to grab and cook. You learn how to cook kohlrabi be-cause it’s in the box, and it’s something new to try.”
Getting your food from a local source also allows you to see where the food comes from, said Christine Chavez, of Valley Flower Farm.
“If it’s here locally, you can come to the farm and you can view it and you can see what’s going on at the farm,” she said. “You’ll know where your food is coming from.”
Becoming a member of a CSA typi-cally costs $25-30 per week, or $600 dollars for a 24-week season. This is to cover the farmer’s expenses during the growing season. And while that may sound steep for people living on a budget, both Amyo and Los Poblanos believe it’s worth it.
“It is more expensive than may-be just going to Wal-Mart and buying your food,” Waters said. “But it’s local, it’s coming from your community, it’s organic, and the money is going back into your community.”
Los Poblanos also offers students a discount through its work-share pro-gram. Students can get one of their boxes at a 50 percent discount if they
put in a few hours of work at one of their farm locations or warehouses, Waters said.
Daves said that although food from a CSA may cost a bit more than food from a chain supermarket, it’s worth a lot more than many modern luxuries
people don’t think twice about pay-ing for.
“I look at my cell phone bill and say that’s pricey. You look at your ca-ble bill, that’s pricey. Your food, that’s something good you’re doing for your self,” he said.

Business and accounting — The business manager and office manager keep track of bills and funding for the paper. The two are not students. They keep the paper running.
Advertising — There are two sections: classifieds and display. They bring in 94 percent of the budget. The paper’s size depends on how many ads are sold.
Ad production — This department has one employee who designs and lays out ads for each paper. This per-son is trained in graphic design.
Reporter — Section editors assign reporters stories to write for the paper. Reporters cover assignments in culture, sports and news.
Sports — This desk is in charge of covering University ath-letics and is published two or three times a week. It has game stories as well as features on student athletes.
Culture — Arts, entertainment and music can be found in this section. Campus events are covered as well as off-campus events. It runs two or three times a week.
Photo — Whether it’s a football game, a concert or a burning building, photographers accom-pany reporters on assignments to help project a visual under-standing of the story.
Opinion — Students, faculty, staff and Daily Lobo readers express their opinions through this section. Letters, columns, cartoons and editorials are pub-lished in it every day.
News — This desk covers on-campus news and of-fers profiles and features on people in the UNM com-munity.
Production — Every story and photo is placed on the page by two or three designers each night. They’re here until 3 a.m. to make sure the paper is visually appealing.
Delivery — Every morning, students deliver the paper to stands on campus and around the UNM community using bicycles and vehicles.
Readers — The last step in our adventure brings us to you. You are the reason we put the paper out each day.
Web — Before the Daily Lobo hits the newsstands, it is published on the In-ternet every morn-ing at about 6 a.m. Readers can receive a copy in their e-mail, or they can view it on our Web site. We also have a web edi-tor who maintains the site and keeps it up-dated throughout the day, posting blogs, audio clips and breaking Associated Press news stories.
Editing — Every story is edited by the report-er, desk editor, copy editors, managing edi-tor and editor in chief. The process starts at 3 p.m. and can take until 3 a.m.
JULY 27-AUGUST 13, 2006 / PAGE 17NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

Rooted in Shinto and Buddhist traditions is an art form based on the fleeting beauty of flowers.
Ikebana (pronounced ik-uh-bahn-uh) is the Japanese art of floral arrangement. Mary Burnett de Gomez, owner of Hanayagi: The Japanese Garden Shop, said the practice fundamentally differs from the Western conception of
flower arranging. “That’s kind of a Germanic,
Western feeling that if you create something, it’s not going to have any value unless it lasts forever,” she said. “But the Japanese don’t think that way. In this particular art form, it’s more the doing of it.”
The form and materials used to create it depend on whether the artist studied with a traditional or contemporary school, she said.
Burnett de Gomez, who studied
with a contemporary school and teaches an Ikebana class at Hanay-agi, said contemporary schools free students from the standards and boundaries implemented in traditional schools. Students are often inspired by the arrange-ment’s container, the natural ma-terials that are in season and the environment the arrangement is to be admired in, she said.
The practice of Ikebana is in-spired by the life cycle of the cher-ry blossom, which symbolizes death to the Japanese, blooming every spring and departing sud-denly with the spring winds, she said.
“It’s a symbol of how short, but how beautiful, life is and to think of every moment as being precious,” she said. “It’s the same thing in Ikebana. The students are taught to enjoy this beautiful ar-rangement for just a short time.”
Tomoko Parry, one of Burnett de Gomez’s students, said that while composing the arrangement (a process that takes about an hour), students focus on the sim-ple allure of nature.
“It puts you in a serene place where you can feel yourself breathe in and breathe out,” she said. “It gives you a moment of peace in a modern, hectic lifestyle.”
Burnett de Gomez said Ikebana — as with any art form — is an on-going learning experience for the artist.
The notion of an endless jour-ney filled with finite moments of unmitigated beauty is what moti-vates Parry to continue honing her craft, she said.
“It is not something you can learn overnight,” she said. “‘The Way of the Flowers’ is the road without end. That sounds chal-lenging, but everything worth do-ing is challenging, isn’t it?”
Once students have a grasp on basic design principles like color, texture, line, form and shape, they can begin creating arrangements.
Typically, the arrangements are asymmetrical, Burnett de Gomez said, and it’s also common for ele-ments of all life stages to be inte-grated in one arrangement.
“In Ikebana arrangements you see elements that are very new, like a bud that hasn’t opened yet,” she said. “You will see a full-blown flower, and then you might also see something that’s aged like a dried piece of driftwood or a leaf that’s dried.”
Similar to drawing, the artists are instructed to consider both empty and filled space, and im-perfections are not discouraged.
“Maybe a leaf that’s a little bit torn or has a hole in it, a West-ern arranger would throw that out as being not perfect,” Burnett de Gomez said. “But to an Ikebana artist, that brings a thought that maybe a cricket came and ate that leaf. So there’s a little bit of poetic thought going on.”
Students will spend time pho-tographing or drawing their com-pleted arrangements after Burnett de Gomez has critiqued each of them.
After a brief appreciation pe-riod, the arrangement is disposed of, teaching students how to let go.
“They are taught to enjoy this beautiful arrangement for just a very short time,” she said. “But then they have learned how to make another one, and so it’ll go away and to let go of it and then they can create another.”
