UNM teachers may not receive a pay cut after all, since top UNM administrators are willing to take the cut on their behalf.

The state Legislature passed a mandate that would force state employees to pay an extra 1.75 percent from their paycheck into their Educational Retirement Board (ERB) pensions. Faculty Senate President Rich-ard Wood said Tuesday that the University could cover the ERB costs if the Board of Re-gents approves budget recommendations.

“UNM proposes to cover the full 1.75 per-cent additional hit to salaries permanent-ly,” Wood said. “Except administrative vice presidents and above will not be covered.”

The University will be able to cover the costs through a number of cost-saving mea-sures. Most of it will come from adminis-trative salaries providing revenue to the ERB. Under the proposal, top administra-tive salaries will have to pay the extra 1.75 percent.

Other areas to stream revenue will come from department consolidation, such as Information Technology and tuition increases.

Wood said an 8 percent tuition increase will be necessary to offset UNM’s budget deficit and maintain the University’s re-search institutions. He said $8.1 million could be secured for the University if it rais-es tuition.

“The president is on board,” Wood said about the pension plan. “But there must be a tuition increase.”

Today, the ERB measure will be present-ed to UNM President David Schmidly, who would receive the 1.75 percent cut.

Allowing the option of sending some people charged with drug pos-session to treatment rather than jail will benefit the state by reducing court costs and repeat offenders, a state law-maker said.

Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas, D-Albuquerque, estimates the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act he sponsored in the House will remove 2,000 to 3,000 cases a year from New Mexico’s courts, saving $18 million.

If cases can be diverted away from the courts, “that’s more time and en-ergy the district attorney and the court could devote to violent criminals,” said Maestas, who was a prosecutor for five years.

In addition, treatment “deals with the crux of the crime, which is the ad-diction itself. So instead of penalizing the possession, you attack the addic-tion,” he said.

Sen. Richard Martinez, a former magistrate who sponsored the mea-sure in the Senate, said treatment, not jail time, will reduce the number of

repeat offenders.“We’ve got lives here at stake,” said

Martinez, D-Española. “It’s more im-portant to treat them than incarcerate them.”

It also makes economic sense, Martinez said. Treatment is less ex-pensive than incarceration, and of-fenders, rather than the state, will pay for its cost, he said.

The measure would go into effect July 1 if signed into law by Gov. Susana Martinez.

Sen. Martinez said he hopes the governor will sign it but expressed doubts because “she has a prosecu-tor’s mentality.” The governor was district attorney in Las Cruces before winning the gubernatorial election last year.

Her spokesman, Scott Darnell, said the bill had not yet reached her desk but would be reviewed closely.

The measure calls for a hearing to determine if the program would be a viable option for a drug posses-sion defendant. Treatment could last no more than 18 months and could include court-ordered monitor-ing. The case would be dismissed if a

defendant successfully completes treatment. If not, the case could move ahead in court.

“We know that incarceration with-out treatment does not prevent future crimes,” Maestas said. “If a drug ad-dict is able to overcome their addic-tion, they not only won’t commit drug crimes anymore, but also not commit property crimes and other crimes as-sociated with their drug addiction.”

Critics complained the program would mean a catch-and-release pro-gram for offenders.

But Maestas argued the state has nothing to lose.

Offenders who aren’t serious about treatment or who violate a judge’s or-der go back to court, “and state is in no worse position to prosecute the case,” Maestas said.

And, offenders who complete treatment “don’t have the scarlet letter of a felony,” he said.

The same measure died in the 2010 session when time ran out, but this year it passed the Senate on a 21-3 vote. It passed the House 41-26 Friday night, hours before the session’s Satur-day noon adjournment.

Legislators: Rehab, not jail

approach is the only one in the coun-try, Kraye said, and it allows students to learn all aspects of running a business. He said Southwestern Business Deans Association, an organization of busi-ness school deans, voted his course the country’s most innovative.

“It’s also been featured on the cover of Businessweek,” he said. “It’s gotten some pretty good rave reviews.”

Darrell Garcia, one of Kraye’s stu-dents, said the class gave him real-world business experience a textbook couldn’t have.

“We have gone through the entire process with minimal guidance,” he said. “The fact that we are dealing with

real money and real vendors means that we have to truly think critically about each decision that we make. It has truly opened my eyes to the world of business and entrepreneurship.”

Another student, Hector Mejia, said the course should be a capstone project to incorporate everything MBA students have learned in the program. He said he felt thrust into a cutthroat learning experience.

“There are some valuable les-sons … I won’t downplay those les-sons,” he said. “But I don’t think I’ve learned them as a direct result of taking this particular class. My own personal views are that real-world

problem solving is great for learning how to apply concepts and ideas, but we still need to learn those basic con-cepts and ideas.”

Kraye said that students should pursue self-employment rather than becoming slaves for large companies.

“The purpose of business is to raise the standard of living for everybody in the world,” he said. “If we’re not do-ing that, business doesn’t make any sense. They finally get it at the end of class. I explain to them, ‘You’re part of a community, and you as a business cannot exist without the community. That’s why you need to give back to the community.’”

Editor,

In 1976, Ronald Reagan invoked the image of the mystical “welfare queen.”

The portrayal of this woman is typified as black, lazy, negligent and sitting in front of the television waiting to collect her 99th week of unemployment benefits.

Thank you, Mr. Reagan. However, before dethroning our beloved

“welfare queen” and snatching away her crown and glory (the check) we must evaluate the economic conditions affecting her employ-ment status.

When given the opportunity, most people, even our beloved “welfare queen,” work. How-ever, lack of opportunity keeps many involun-tarily out of the labor force. Unemployment rates are high and unevenly distributed by race and ethnicity. Furthermore, labor markets re-ward human and cultural capital, which are also unevenly distributed.

In February, unemployment fell to 8.9 per-cent from 9 percent in January. A year ago, unemployment was at 9.7 percent. The im-provement in the unemployment rate can be attributed to discouraged workers who cease seeking work because of low success expectations.

This trend causes the labor force to contract. A weakened labor force foretells a sluggish re-covery. Job-growth data supports this somber account of economic calamity. In February, 192,000 jobs were added. However, economic expansion requires an average of 400,000 new jobs per month and 4.8 million a year.

The economy is recovering at a slow pace, and as usual, historically marginalized groups are affected disproportionately. In January, un-employment was 8 percent among whites, 11.9 percent among Hispanics and 15.7 percent among blacks.

For those who have been wandering in the jobless wilderness, that good ol’ Puritan work ethic won’t be enough to ensure deliverance into the Promised Land of employment. The average duration of unemployment is at a re-cord high 37.1 weeks. This cannot be attributed solely to a lack of motivation or inspiration to find work.

Human capital is a major determinant of how quickly an individual can move from the unemployed to employed pool. Lacking educa-tion, training and experience reduce a person’s chances of finding employment. Lacking cul-tural capital also precludes groups from finding work in a “who you know” labor market. Un-employed women typified as “welfare queens” and other marginalized groups often lack hu-man and cultural capital that allow them to move into new jobs.

Politicians in Washington are frenzied with talk about the budget deficit.

However, the deficit is a severe long-term ailment, not a paper cut that can be remedied by slapping a Band-Aid on it. Until the econo-my bounces back, high unemployment rates and a stagnant job market will remain the crisis to be addressed.

Albeit the unemployment rate is a lagging indicator, the response to it will be a determin-ing factor in the strength of the recovery. Be-fore politicians write off our beloved “welfare queen,” they must bring the economy back to full employment. Job creation is a viable start.

Now spring break is over; the weather is warming, and we have only eight more weeks until we are free again. For some, graduation approaches. For others, sum-mer is just going to be another sweaty hia-tus spent toiling at Olive Garden.

But one way or the other, it’s the future. And though I quiver at the thought of my own graduation, not quite knowing how to move my piece down the game of life, I am elated by the idea of seeing and feeling that future.

A lot of my ambitions for said future revolve around the global art economy. I would very much like to occupy a curato-rial-type role when I’m older, posing social questions for innovators of music and art to answer.

To get a better idea of how systems like that can work, I went to Texas last week for South by Southwest, (also known as SX-SWXSCSSSW) a big orgiastic gathering of music and film industry professionals and arrogant hiplets.

It was wonderful: I got to see tons of my favorite artists for free or close to free. I felt the humanity of the things that I had pre-viously only seen on the Internet — I got punched in the face at Odd Future and took shots with Skrillex. Talib Kweli, like, projectile sweated on me.

The sheer scope of the conference amazed me. Seeing so many devoted peo-ple congregate around the art reassured me that there is a future in being a cura-tor or promoter of that type of world, which was the exact kind of reassurance I needed. Prior to the trip I was of the opinion that the music industry was crippled or just

plain dead, that art was not something one could build a career off anymore. But there are insane amounts of money involved — some people get to do all that fun stuff as their job, and some of them get compen-sated handsomely.

I certainly don’t intend to cheapen the true value of art and music, which is spir-itual. But let’s be honest — better to be paid than not paid. And best to be paid for something you love doing.

So I’ve come back from that experi-ence refreshed, with wider eyes and a big-ger appetite. I’m optimistic, but trying to stay realistic about what’s next. For all of you reading who are about to graduate, I’m sure you’ll echo the sentiment.

Our education was intended to pro-vide us with the skills to find a career we love, but what if it’s not possible to find that? We may have to bitch out to a cleri-cal job at a graveyard or something. Many of us, including myself, will graduate well indebted to Sallie Mae and all her flying monkeys, but there’s no reason to let that scare the living hell out of me every night while I shiver and weep looking at my loan statements.

Regardless of the responsibilities that lie ahead, I’m sure the most intelligent thing to do is to follow your truest desire. As many have said, follow your dream. The

money will come later. And then a beauti-ful child will come into your life and take that money. The cycle stays the same, but as long as you’re happy, you’re doing the right thing.

Which is why I fully intend to follow my wildest dreams, regardless of how imprac-tical and dangerous they may seem now. I can’t stand the thought of playing it safe, middle-managing a cracker factory and paying off my loans in sensible increments. While it may come to that, and my reckless idealism may screw me, at least I will have tried. And then I can have the joy of re-minding my children how much they don’t know about life while I fight back tears of regret.

But that premise shows how much I don’t know about life yet: I think it’s pos-sible to be completely happy whether or not you “achieve your dream.” Really, who knows what could happen? New ideas and dreams are born everyday, and they can change throughout the course of one’s life to the point that your former self is unrec-ognizable to your present. So even if I’m not headlining Coachella and cradling Os-cars in my burly, toned arms, I could still be the happiest man alive.

Which is an important thing to remem-ber: Our dream is usually our finest vision of ourselves. If we love ourselves fully now, the dream becomes irrelevant. Just con-tinuing life is the dream. And that’s some straight gangster wisdom.

So don’t anxiously await a future that may or may not come: Soak up the experi-ences and flavors of a rich life now, and re-member that toiling even at Olive Garden has its advantages.

Like free bread sticks.

With off-season house-cleaning over, the UNM football team hopes to spring forward the next four weeks, so it doesn’t fall back to the bottom of the Mountain West Conference.

Third-year head coach Mike Lock-sley added new faces and reshuffled his staff, patching personnel holes with coaches from last year. Stress-ing personnel and attitude changes, Locksley told reporters Monday that this year is bowl game or bust for the Lobos, who are coming off back-to-back 1-11 seasons.

“I’ll be very disappointed if we don’t put a product on the field that sees us in a bowl game at the end of the year,” he said.

Disappointed because, unlike last year, Locksley has Division I transfers Lamaar Thomas, Deon Long, Javarie Johnson and Omar Castillo at his dis-posal. Thomas sat out last season af-ter transferring from Ohio State. He said he couldn’t sleep the night be-fore the team’s first meeting.

Spring drills kicked off Tuesday at the football practice facility.

“It’s been a long time, a long year, and I just can’t really wait to get out there,” he said.

Entering his third year at the helm, Locksley said he feels comfort-able with his roster this season.

“As a head coach, I finally feel as though this is my team,” he said. “We’ve been able to navigate through a tough stretch here with the NCAA penalty, with the losing. (We’ve) been able to change the culture, and you do that by changing people and changing mindsets.”

The Lobos return 19 starters: six on offense, nine on defense, and four on special teams.

That continuity extends to the coaching staff, Locksley said.

Even with new offensive coordi-nator David Reaves accused of NCAA violations in 2009 while coaching at Tennessee, Locksley said the offen-sive spread scheme will remain the same.

George Barlow, the Lobos’ de-fensive backs coach the last two

seasons, is now the defensive coor-dinator. Departing from former de-fensive coordinator Doug Mallory’s 4-3, the Lobos will employ a 4-2-5 scheme this year. Locksley said that mixed coverages, more pressure, and an always-attacking upfront will typ-ify the defense.

“By promoting from within with George Barlow and David Reaves and taking over on each side of the ball, we’ll be able to keep the con-tinuity, terminology, schemes and systems,” Locksley said.

Locksley said he plans to focus more on “little things,” like helping out in the weight room and spending more time with his players.

Returning starter Carmen Messi-na, who led the Mountain West Con-ference in tackles the last two years, said he has a lot to play for.

“This is my last year, and I can’t hold anything back,” he said. “I want to go to a bowl game, and I want to get a bowl win.”

To nurture that budding attitude, Locksley said all starting positions are up for grabs. Even Messina doesn’t have his starting spot guaranteed.

But the biggest question this off-season? Who will take over at the quarterback position? Junior B.R. Holbrook, sophomores Stump God-frey and Tarean Austin and incoming freshman Dustin Walton will vie for the position. Holbrook, who is com-ing off knee surgery, saw limited ac-tion in 2010.

Locksley said there is no clear-cut favorite.

“The quicker we can find out who that guy is, the better,” he said. “But we’re going to let the process run its course and make sure we are able to identify which guy gives us the best chance to win.”

Hope springs for Locksley’s Year 3

Cherry-Silver GameApril 162 p.m.

University Stadium

by Ryan [email protected]

Every game this season is a learn-ing experience for the UNM base-ball team.

So says head coach Ray Birmingham.

But Tuesday at Isotopes Park showed that the future looks bright for the Lobos.

UNM put up nine runs in the second inning, seven before the Bearcats could get a single out.

Heading into the third inning, the Lobos had a 14-1 lead.

The Lobos never stopped the of-fensive display and UNM cruised

past Binghamton 16-2.“We’re just continuing to try

and raise puppies to play the game the right way,” Birmingham said. “Learning how to play the game the right way is the key to me, and the score doesn’t mean anything to me.”

The Lobos made Bearcats start-ing pitcher Jack Rogalla exit the game with only an inning’s worth of work.

Rogalla finished with eight hits, 10 earned runs and walked five UNM batters.

The Lobos cycled through their lineup in the first inning. Leadoff

Bearcats mauled in 14-point rout

hitter Kyle Stiner doubled down the right field line and started the scoring onslaught for UNM in the second.

Freshman D.J. Peterson, who was part of the first and second in-ning offensive output, went 3-for-4 against the Bearcats.

On the three hits, Peterson drove in four RBIs and scored three runs.

He said the Lobos’ perfor-mance against the Bearcats was good for team morale.

“Everybody hit today,” Peterson said. “But we’ve been struggling a little bit with the bats, so seeing the pitching, getting good at bats and getting good hits definitely gets the confidence going.”

Peterson said he and Birming-ham have had a disagreement on the way he has been swinging the bat so far this season.

But that changed against Binghamton.

“Me and Coach B have been fighting a little bit about my swing,”

Peterson said. “But we’ve done a lot of work over the last two weeks and it worked tonight.”

The Lobos also went with a fresh-man on the mound.

Sam Wilson pitched five good innings.

However, he made a mistake in the top of the first that allowed a Bearcat run.

“I didn’t really do my job the first couple of innings,” he said. “I didn’t cover first base (in the first inning). Coach was upset about it and so was I.”

But Wilson calmed his nerves and allowed only four hits and one earned run in his five innings of work.

“When you get a lot of runs be-hind you, it’s pretty easy to go out there and pitch,” Wilson said. “You just need to go out there and throw strikes.”

With Wilson sitting down Bearcats and the UNM offense find-ing its rhythm, Binghamton was stunned.

While there is no run-rule in col-lege baseball, the Bearcats conceded

the game in the middle of the sev-enth inning. Both coaching staffs agreed on ending the game in the seventh.

Birmingham said because Bing-hamton has been playing several road games in the past weeks, the Bearcat’s pitching staff has been overused.

“They’re on a long road trip and their pitching staff is stretched,” Bir-mingham said. “Now they have to go down to New Mexico State (on Thursday). They better be ready down there because they’re going to get some home cooking, with some hitters and that wind blowing.”
