Some county clerks, who administer elections in the state’s 33 counties, said the bill would apply only to ballots cast at polling loca- tions and not mail-in ballots. Santa Fe chief deputy clerk De- nise Lamb said mail-in or absentee ballots have a greater risk of poten- tial abuse. “No one knows if someone is as- sisting them with that ballot,” she said. “No one knows if someone is coercing them or bribing them, un- like at the polling places. We cannot create two classes of voters.” e House Voters and Election Committee will vote on the measure ursday. Its recommendations will help lawmakers determine whether to support the measure. During her State of the State speech on Jan. 18, Gov.

PALM COAST, Fla.— The Dalai Lama’s nephew was smiling, radi-ating energy as he tackled the first leg of a 300-mile walk to promote Tibet’s independence from China. He insisted on finishing the last two miles on his own, even as dark-ness fell.

“For the cause,” Jigme K. Norbu said, as he had on so many similar journeys before.

Norbu was alone on a dark coastal highway Monday when was struck and killed by an SUV. He was headed south in the same direc-tion as traffic, following a white line along the side of the road, accord-ing to the Highway Patrol. The im-pact crumpled the vehicle’s hood and shattered the front windshield.

Authorities said it appeared to be an accident and the driver, 31-year-old Keith R. O’Dell of Palm Coast, swerved but couldn’t avoid Norbu. The Highway Patrol was still investigating, but didn’t expect any charges. O’Dell and his 5-year-old son were not hurt.

Norbu, 45, had completed at least 21 walks and bike rides, log-ging more than 7,800 miles in the U.S. and overseas to support free-dom for Tibet and highlight the suffering of its people. He complet-ed his most recent 300-mile trek in December in Taiwan.

He lived in Bloomington, Ind., where his father had been a profes-sor at Indiana University, and he owned a restaurant that served Ti-betan and Indian cuisine.

He had set out Monday with a group of friends, but insisted he would continue on his own after one of his companions tired and they decided to take a van to a res-taurant. Norbu planned to meet

them there.About an hour before the ac-

cident, Norbu met a Florida cou-ple, Gary and Damian Drum Col-lins, who had heard about his jaunt through town.

“He was smiling and happy. He had as much positive energy as you could imagine,” Gary Collins told The Associated Press.

His wife took a picture with Norbu, who was wearing running shoes, a dark pullover and a white

sandwich board-like sign that said, “Walk For Tibet Florida.”

The couple was troubled by the fading sunlight and urged Norbu to stay at their place for the night. He was already behind schedule, they said, and agreed to change his plans.

“It was becoming dusk. We were worried, and we were concerned he wasn’t going to have daylight,” Gary Collins said.

They suggested Norbu stay in-

side their condominium, about three miles from their Hammock Wine & Cheese Shoppe, but he wanted to spend the night under the stars.

So the Collinses made prepa-rations for Norbu and his group to spend the night outside the cheese shop. They left a towel, bar of soap, three bottles of coconut juice, a can of stuffed grape leaves and crack-ers on a table outside. The back door was also unlocked so the trav-elers could shower and use the restroom.

A note for the group read: “Hi! Please make yourselves at home. It is an honor to have you here.”

Norbu was killed just a quarter of a mile from the shop. On Tues-day, a vase with seven roses marked the accident site on the side of the two-lane State Highway A1A, where the speed limit is 55 mph and there are no traffic lights.

A woman who identified her-self as the mother of the SUV driver said her son didn’t want to talk to the media.

“What more is there to say? He was wearing dark clothes. It was an unfortunate accident. He hasn’t been charged. That’s all we’re going to say,” said the woman, who would not give her name.

A dishwasher at a nearby restau-rant was killed in September along the same stretch of road where Norbu died.

Dalai Lama’s nephew killed

“He was smiling and happy. He had as much positive energy as you

could imagine,”~Gary Collins

The headline for Monday’s story, “Senator proposes 16-month window for Lottery,” was incorrect. Bill O’Neill,

the legislator who sponsored the bill, is a representative, not a senator.

Editor,

I am writing to remark on the hostile en-vironment that has developed in the Daily Lobo’s online comments section.

Nearly all political articles have a long trail of reader-posted comments that are vicious. Instead of carrying out a dialogue (even a relatively heated one), members on all sides of the political spectrum hurl per-sonal insults at one another.

This is disappointing to me personally, because I hoped that the online comments sections would provide a space to discuss topics of mutual interest with UNM com-munity members. Instead I have found that it is more a place to degrade the intel-ligence and opinions of those whose opin-ions differ.

If you don’t believe me, try look-ing at some of the recent comments online. If we’re lucky, there might even be some examples on this letter. I am not one for censorship, and I am not asking that the comments section be shut down. Rather, I’m hoping to appeal to some of the people who post their comments. Just because many of us are at odds and do not see eye to eye does not mean that dis-cussions must sink to a personal level.

The space we have to comment should be used for dialogue. Many of us won’t agree with each other, but isn’t that what freedom of speech is for?

The representation of points of view is part of what makes this country great.

Kyle FarrisUNM student

Editor,

I am writing to support SB 400, recog-nizing graduate assistants, teaching assis-tants, research assistants and project assis-tants as employees as introduced by Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino.

This is a common sense, one-and-a-half-page bill with zero fiscal impact. Without assistantships, UNM could not keep tuition costs low relative to peer in-stitutions because assistants teach at least 20 percent and support at least another 15 percent of undergraduate courses for min-imal compensation.

The work these graduate assistants do is vital in furthering the University’s core mis-sion: educating students and conducting research. Incidentally, these are the Uni-versity’s two most profitable enterprises. Despite the incredible work graduate as-sistants do as employees, we do not have job security, nor do we have a position at the bargaining table since we lack a de-finitive decision about our legal status as employees.

In the fall, the College of Arts and Sci-ences proposed to the Board of Regents that 40 graduate assistant positions be cut in spring to reduce costs. Only after rais-ing student awareness were student groups

able to rally to restore funding for these positions.

In the Graduate and Professional Stu-dent Association’s Legislative Priorities Survey, we found that 81 percent of gradu-ate students support a bill that would rec-ognize teaching assistants, graduate assis-tants, professional assistants and resident assistants as employees. When we asked graduate students to numerically score which legislative priority is most important to them, we found that protecting gradu-ate employee funding lines came in second and a state bill recognizing assistants as employees came in fourth (behind fighting to cut UNM administration and preserve research funding lines).

Providing this recognition and ba-sic protection features prominent-ly in graduate students’ minds. SB 400 is fiscally responsible and doesn’t cost anything. Through Sec-tion 1 Subsection B, TAs, GAs, RAs and PAs as employees would be exempted from the Educational Retirement Act. And as employees, they would be ex-empted from Social Security contribu-tions and would still be eligible for stu-dent health insurance. Designating these people as employees would not re-quire that they receive additional ben-efits greater than they currently enjoy. What it would mean, however, is that grad-uate assistants would gain the recognition they deserve for the work they do at UNM.

As employees, graduate assistants would be able to negotiate grievance procedures and engage in binding dispute resolution.

Currently, there is no mechanism to negotiate hours of work or discrimination complaints. There is no transparency ex-pectation with regard to hiring, no ensured access to materials and resources needed to perform the work, no ability to negoti-ate leave policies, no ensured due process with regard to termination and no formal protections for academic freedom.

With regard to workload and hours worked, having no mechanism to nego-tiate these results in more hours worked on something that is not directly relat-ed to the graduate assistant’s own re-search/dissertation. This means that completing a degree takes longer. Em-ployee status would make it easier for graduate assistants to finish their degrees. Student employees have been classified as employees through state law in Wiscon-sin, Michigan, California, New York, Mas-sachusetts, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Oregon and Florida.

It’s time for all New Mexico university em-ployees to be treated equally under the law, so we can affirm the critical work that assis-tants do in furthering the academic mission. Please call or write your state legislator and urge them to support SB 400.

Editor,

Human Resources negotiated staff dis-counts with various cell-phone companies, including T-Mobile.

This seems like a no-brainer, so I went ahead and applied for the discount on my phone plan a few months ago. But in talking to the T-Mobile customer support people, I found out they counted this as an “upgrade” to my plan and reset the clock on my contract.

I’m now locked into a new two-year contract with T-Mobile. Before getting that discount, I was out of con-tract with them and could have cancelled my service at any time without penalty.

Now it would cost me a $200 cancellation fee to leave T-Mobile and move to another vendor. I don’t blame HR at all. It thought it was doing something good for the UNM staff, but it turns out, HR was really doing T-Mobile a huge fa-vor, locking me into a new contract I never wanted.

If you are a staff member and a T-Mobile customer, I’d advise you not to get this dis-count. It isn’t worth the hidden cost. And may-be HR could add a warning to its web page, too.

‘Just not enough’ against SDSU

University of New Mexico’s Amanda Best fights for a rebound against San Diego State’s Melissa Sweat on Tuesday at The Pit. The Lobos fell to 9-14 on the year with a 50-44 loss.

Sasha Evangulova Daily Lobo

by Brandon [email protected]

From one of its best performanc-es of the season to its worst.

After posting a season-high 53 percent shooting Saturday against Colorado State, the UNM women’s basketball team went ice-cold Tues-day, notching a dismal 22 percent from the field en route to a 50-44 home loss to San Diego State.

With the loss, the Lobos fall to 9-14 on the season and 3-8 in Moun-tain West Conference action. Mean-while, the Aztecs improve to 11-13 overall and 5-7 in conference.

Head coach Don Flanagan was once again disappointed in his team.

“Usually when you hold a team to 50 points, you’re going to win the game,” he said. “But not when you

shoot 22 percent from the field. When you shoot like that, you al-ways have to play

catch up, and then you have to start making threes if you want to stay in the game.”

Senior forward Jessica Kielpin-ski didn’t make any excuses for her team either.

“I didn’t play as tough as I could have,” she said. “Toughness means that we need to go all out. Don’t let them post up. Battle for the post each possession, and we didn’t do that. Against Colorado State, we

were doing it every single time. To-night, we did it half the time, and that’s just not enough.”

It was both teams that had trou-ble finding the net. San Diego State managed an unspectacular 30 per-cent shooting for the game and shot just 7 percent from three-point land. Meanwhile, UNM was six-of-23 from long range.

But it was the Aztec’s height and athleticism in the paint that carried them to victory.

“We just couldn’t stop them in-side,” Flanagan said. “They were one-of-13 beyond the arc, and we didn’t do a very good job of col-lapsing down on the ball when they

went inside. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t have had five bodies in the paint every time they tried to go inside on us.”

UNM jumped out to a 10-7 lead with 12:07 remaining in the first half. But from that point, it was all SDSU. The Aztecs raced to a 27-19 advan-tage heading into the locker room.

The Lobos came out in the sec-

ond half with their guns blazing, cut-ting the lead to three behind a quick 7-0 run. But the Aztecs responded with a 6-0 run of its own.

Later in the second half, fresh-man forward Morgan Toben and senior forward Amanda Best hit back-to-back threes with 10:33 remaining.

But that was as close as UNM

would come, as the Aztecs wasted the shot clock and hit clutch free throws down the stretch for their third-straight conference win.

“The most aggressive team won the game,” Flanagan said. “They were stronger. They were the more physical team. They played harder than we did. That’s what happens if you let someone come into your building and play harder than you. You’re probably going to get beat.”

The only player to score in dou-ble digits was UNM’s freshman guard Jasmine Patterson, who post-ed a game-high 10 points. Junior forward Porche Torrance had eight points, 11 boards, five blocks and three steals.

“I’m proud that the team didn’t give up,” Flanagan said. “It’s a re-building year. I’m confident we’re going to have some pretty strong basketball players by the end of the season.”
