During the first meeting of UNM’s presidential search com-mittee Tuesday, members argued over a document shown to po-tential presidential candidates.

The document was prepared by Regent Bradley Hosmer after Monday’s public forum on the presidential search and is intend-ed to give prospective candidates an introduction to the Universi-ty by giving a brief UNM history and outlining problems facing the next chief executive.

Veronica Mendez-Cruz, di-rector of El Centro de la Raza, said she thought UNM’s research was underrepresented in the document.

“There should be links to re-search information like there is to the budget,” she said.

Regent Don Chalmers said he thought the document was incomplete.

“This document should be as complete as possible as early as possible,” he said. “We need to all agree this is accurate.”

Professor Antoinette Sedillo-Lopez wants the document to let potential candidates know exact-ly what the position entails.

“This should be attractive,

but honest,” Sedillo-Lopez said. “We’ve suffered in the past from individuals not knowing any-thing about (the University).”

Alberto Pimentel, a managing partner of Storbeck/Pimentel & Associates, the consulting firm

that operates the search, stressed that the document should be broad enough to attract a variety of potential candidates.

“You don’t want it to be so re-

strictive that it excludes candi-dates you want to consider,” he said. “This document is like a courtship: We don’t ask anyone to marry us on the first date.”

The search for a new presi-dent begins with candidates from the top-tier research universities in the country, and UNM isn’t the only one searching for new administration.

“We’re entering a hiring sea-son in higher education.” Pimen-tel said. “In the next two weeks, close to a dozen major research universities will begin looking. … We just need to get there as quickly as we can.”

He added that those who are intimidated by negative news coverage have no place at UNM.

“If they’re afraid of what the challenges are, and have been, you don’t want them here,” he said.

When Interim Provost Chaouki Abdallah acquired his position in July, he promised he would work to change the structure and faculty of the Provost’s office.

With the hiring of three new associate provosts this week, Abdallah seems to have kept his promise.

“My first order of business was to evaluate and re-organize the Office of the Provost into a more coherent and responsive organization,” Abdallah wrote in a July 20 University-wide email.

Professor Gregory Heileman was named associate provost for curriculum, professor Jane

Slaughter as associate provost for academic personnel and professor Natasha Kolchevska as associate provost for international affairs.

“These three individuals possess great experience and

knowledge in all facets of the University,” Abdallah said. “They will add their distinct abilities and skills which will further strengthen our team moving forward.”

Heileman has worked in ad-visement and with the Center for Academic Program Support (CAPS) at UNM.

“I look forward to working with the Provost and others on campus towards the common goal of providing the highest-quality education to the students at the University of New Mexico,” he told UNM Today.

Slaughter has also worked for CAPS and with various faculty services.

“Through my years at UNM I have had an abiding interest in

actions and programs that pro-mote faculty rights and interests,” she said.

Kolchevska has worked with the Latin American & Iberian Institute and Office of International Programs & Studies.

“I am very excited to be given the opportunity to lead faculty, students and staff as we undertake a variety of initiatives that will integrate internationalization into UNM’s broader teaching, research and service missions in the 21st century,” she said. “International and global issues are central to everything that we do at UNM, and I will work hard to deliver that message both to the University community and beyond.”

The Com mis sion on New Min er als and several universi-ties named a recently-discovered mineral after a distinguished UNM professor.

Researchers at the California Institution of Technology named a mineral discovered in 2003 “Brearleyite,” after professor Adrian Brearley, chair of the UNM Department of Earth and Plan e-tary Sci ences, for his research in meteorite mineralogy.

“The mineral and the mineral name have been approved by the Commission on New Minerals of the International Mineralogical Association,” the American Mineralogist publication wrote in its August-Septempter issue. “The name is … in recognition of his many contributions to meteorite mineralogy.”

Brearley said he is honored by the recognition.

“I’m deeply hon ored and hum-bled to say the least,” he told UNM Today. “It doesn’t hap pen to too many people.”

Brearleyite has a light olive col-or under diffused light, according to the American Mineralogist. It is an extremely rare, fine-grained min eral found in 2003 in a mete-orite located in North west Africa, according to the publication.

New Mexico School for the Deaf football player Julio Ruiz lifts weights during practice on Tuesday in Santa Fe. NMSD’s six-man football program started in 1979. It was one of the first schools in New Mexico to create a six-man football program. The NMSD Roadrunners won its first state championship in 2006. The second game of this season will be held at Vaughn High School today against Elide High School.

A southern New Mexico farmer has been sentenced to five years in prison and must pay more than $18 million in restitution to the federal government for evading taxes and fraudulently collecting farm subsidies.

Federal prosecutors say Bill Melot had opened a Swiss bank account, used false Social Securi-ty Numbers and notarized forged deeds to hide his assets.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Al-

buquerque announced Melot’s sentence Wednesday.

He must also serve three years of supervised release for tax eva-sion, program fraud and other crimes.

His attorney, Gregory Ac-ton, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

Court documents say Melot hasn’t filed a personal income tax return since 1986 and owes more than $25 million in federal taxes and more than $7 million in taxes in Texas.

The Associated Press

Lawmakers are wrapping up pub-lic hearings on redistricting as they prepare to return to work in a spe-cial legislative session to begin draw-ing new boundaries of elective office districts.

A legislative committee holds a final hearing Wednesday in Santa Fe. Meetings were held previously in more than a half dozen communities.

The Legislature meets in a special session starting next week to

redraw boundaries of congressional, legislative and Public Regulation Commission districts to adjust for population changes in the past decade.

The goal is to equalize district populations as much as possible to provide equal representation for New Mexicans to conform to the doctrine of one person, one vote.

Redistricting plans also must com-ply with the federal Voting Rights Act by not diluting the voting strength of minorities.

WASHINGTON — Security is intensifying at airports, train stations, nuclear plants and major sporting arenas as the nation prepares for the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — a date al-Qaida has cited as a potential opportunity to strike again.

Counterterrorism officials say there is no intelligence pointing to a specific plot, but officials fear that someone with terrorist sympathies might see Sept. 11 as the time to make a violent statement.

The security ramp-up around the country underscores a shift in policing focus since the attacks a decade ago. Officers and emergency responders have been trained in detecting sus-picious activity that could uncover a terror plot, aware that the threat has changed in part from an organized large-scale attack using airliners as missiles to the potential for smaller, less sophisticated operations carried out by affiliated groups or individuals.

Much of the equipment being used for surveillance and response has been paid for through federal grants that didn’t exist 10 years ago.

“We’re certainly aware of 9/11 security risks,” said Mark Eisenman, assistant chief over the homeland security command for the Police Department in Houston, home to the country’s largest port. “Throughout the city, whether it’s the ports or the airports or venues or whatever, you will see an increase in awareness, an increase in resources at strategic places.”

Some of the first information gleaned from Osama bin Laden’s compound after he was killed in May indicated that, as recently as February 2010, al-Qaida considered plans to at-tack the U.S. on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 airliner strikes. But coun-terterrorism officials say they believe that planning never got beyond the initial phase and they have no recent intelligence pointing to an active plot.

On Wednesday, vendors at Los Angeles’ regional transit hub, Union Station, were briefed by law enforcement on ways to be aware of suspicious activities over the next few

weeks, said Commander Pat Jordan, chief of the transit services bureau at the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.

There will be increased law en-forcement presence on L.A. transit systems during the “threat window,” with bomb-sniffing dogs and random baggage searches.

Transit employees in L.A., like rid-ers around the country, are told that if they see something, they should say something. Three weeks ago, the de-partment held an exercise with an active shooter scenario similar to the tactics terrorists used in the deadly 2008 attacks in Mumbai.

In the transit environment, Jor-dan said, some of the greatest threats could come from gunmen and the use of explosives hidden in backpacks.

Douglas Scott, the police chief of Arlington, Va., home to the Pentagon, which was attacked on 9/11, called the weeks surrounding the anniversary a time of heightened awareness.

“Ten years ago changed the world for us, and we should all be conscious-ly aware of what’s going on around us,” he said.

New Yorkers will see more po-lice officers on patrol in and around ground zero, where the World Trade Center towers stood, said Police De-partment spokesman Paul Browne.

The department also plans an in-creased show of force in the subways, always considered a potential terror target.

Plans to tamper with an unspeci-fied U.S. rail track so that a train would fall off in a valley or from bridge were found on handwritten notes pulled from bin Laden’s Pakistani hideout in May. The al-Qaida planners noted that if they attacked a train by tilting it, the plan would succeed only once be-cause the tilting would be spotted the next time. U.S. counterterrorism offi-cials believe these ideas never got off the drawing board.

“It’s been a long buildup as we ap-proach the anniversary of 9/11,” said Sean Duggan, assistant chief at the Scottsdale, Ariz. Police Department. Duggan said his department gets daily updates from the FBI and Homeland Security Department, but over the past two months the focus has been on the 10th anniversary of the ter-ror hijackings, as events are planned around the country to commemorate the nearly 3,000 people killed in the 2001 attacks.

“While there is currently no specif-ic or credible threat, appropriate and prudent security measures are ready to detect and prevent plots against the United States should they emerge,” Homeland Security Department spokesman Matt Chandler said.

President Barack Obama said this month that the threat of a plot by a lone terrorist is particularly troublesome.

“The risk that we’re especially con-cerned over right now is the lone-wolf terrorist: somebody with a single weapon being able to carry out wide-scale massacres of the sort that we saw in Norway recently,” Obama said.

In July, 69 people at a youth camp in Norway were shot to death. Author-ities said a man carried out the attack with the purpose of saving Norway and the rest of Europe from Muslims and multiculturalism.

Security forces brace for 9/11

by Helen GonzalesVice President, Human Resources

Daily Lobo Guest Columnist

The Daily Lobo’s Aug. 29 article “Staff Health Care Costs on the Rise” reported on a topic of campus-wide concern. However, the article requires amplification on critical points concerning employee health care.

The Daily Lobo suggests that recent modifications to the self-insured health care plan are “sudden changes,” and that the University community was not informed of basic changes to plan design. This is incorrect. The Division of Human Resources sent 11 separate email messages to benefits-eligible employees regarding the anticipated plan changes.

In addition, articles appeared in UNM Today and UNM News Minute, and a home-address mailing went out in April. There were 10 presentations across campus, including at the Regents’ Budget Summit. The plan design changes were presented to the Faculty-Staff Benefits Committee and there were six open-enrollment vendor sessions where employees could seek information about the individual and family effects of proposed plan changes.

These communications with the University community began in early March 2011. The impetus for these plan changes bears repeating.

UNM provides health care coverage to its employees through a self-insured health care plan. Under this model, UNM — not an insurance company — is responsible for paying the health care claims of its employees from premiums paid by individual employees and the University’s contributions on their behalf. There are only two ways that a self-insured employee health care plan can respond as the cost of health care continues to sharply outpace economic growth: increase premiums or

change plan design.The recent changes addressed in

the Daily Lobo article reflect the latter approach. Actuaries for the UNM self-insured health plan, based on available data and forecasts, projected roughly an 8 percent increase in the cost of employee health care.

LoboCare’s cost of claims substantially exceeded this projection. After supplementing employee health care with more than $2 million from plan reserves and $800,000 from Health Care Reform rebates, the UNM self-insured plan had available only the two options to offset dramatic cost increases. Given the wage erosion affecting employees after three years without salary increases, as well as the erosive effect of the Legislature’s ERB “swap,” the University opted to make modifications to its plan design with regard to LoboCare rather than increase employees’ monthly costs.

Effective July 1, 2011, the LoboCare Network portion of the UNM Medical

Plan changed to more closely mirror the plan design used for the last four years by the in-Network providers, Lovelace and Presbyterian. This design uses the concepts of deductibles, co-insurance and out-of-pocket maximum regardless of who provides the service, allowing employees more flexibility for receiving health care services. In addition, these plan changes should help minimize the impact of anticipated rising health care costs on premiums charged to employees.

However, this does mean that out-of-pocket costs for some health care services received through the LoboCare Network under the UNM Medical Plan will increase. Some examples of the cost impact of these plan changes on UNM employees cited in the Daily Lobo article are simply incorrect, and recently announced Medical Plan Communication Sessions will provide accurate information to all interested employees.

Employers nationally are using cost-sharing techniques to encourage employees to be cost-sensitive health care consumers. At UNM, we have done better than most: Our total increase in employee health care premiums over the last four years has been approximately 4 percent, compared to close to 30 percent nationally.

While it may be true that other New Mexico public employers have lower premiums, those employers do not directly provide health care coverage to their retirees nor do they take into account different factors that affect health care costs, such as average employee age and flexible choice of provider network each time you receive services.

UNM is proud to have been able to continue this benefit to its retirees, which present employees will appreciate when they retire. We continue to actively manage our health plans and to share all information with our employees.

Editor,

As I see it, there is only one question left unanswered for our species, and that ques-tion is this:

Is it possible for us human beings to ma-ture (grow up) enough that we no longer blame something we refer to as ‘god’ for what are natural occurrences on this plan-et — lessons for us about what is an ap-propriate way for us to interact with each other, all else that is on this planet, and the planet itself so that we stop creating lose/lose outcomes that benefit none of us, and begin manifesting win/win outcomes that will benefit all of us before we have caused ourselves to become extinct because this planet could no longer sustain us as the species we chose to become?

Hey friends, the choice is ours, and we are making that choice moment by moment.

Robert Gardiner UNM community member

Editor,

Peaceful protests have been taking place in Syria against the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad since Jan. 26.

In a manner not too different from the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Syri-ans took to the streets to peacefully call for an overhaul of their corrupt and murder-ous government. The response of president al-Assad has been the killing of more than 2,000 unarmed protesters at the hands of the army.

In my opinion, this situation can only end in one of two ways. Ideally, the peace-ful protests will force President al-Assad to give up power, and he will board a plane for a lifetime of exile after having plundered the treasury. If the first scenario does not occur, then the opposition may decide that taking up arms is the only way to bring about the change for which many have al-ready died. Either way, President al-Assad must decide whether to leave or begin a long civil war.

The words of John F. Kennedy perhaps best describe the rapidly deteriorating sit-uation in Syria today: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

LONDON — The large role the small town of Wootton Bassett has played in honoring fallen British sol-diers ended with a ceremony at sun-set Wednesday.

The market town about 85 miles west of London has earned fame throughout Britain — and praise from the queen and prime minister — for its solemn shows of support when the remains of soldiers killed in Afghanistan are driven through town.

Each time a soldier’s remains pass by, normal life in the town of 11,000 comes to a halt. Veterans and soldiers in uniform stand at attention, and po-lice outriders escort the hearse and stop in the town center, giving fami-lies a chance to lay flowers on the ve-hicle’s roof over the coffin. The soldier receives salutes, and a bell tolls.

But that role is over now that the nearby Royal Air Force Lyneham base is closing. Wootton Bassett will no longer be on the route between the repatriation military base and the coroner’s office.

The streets of the town were full as Wootton Bassett’s Union Jack was lowered at sunset to mark the end of an era in the town’s history. The flag was folded, blessed and will be placed on the altar of a local church overnight, then passed on to Brize

Norton Royal Air Force base in Ox-fordshire, which will on Thursday be-come the base where planes carrying fallen soldiers will land.

Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday praised Wootton Bassett’s spontaneous demonstrations of support for British troops that began in 2007 and have continued each time a soldier has been killed.

“My message to the people of Wootton Bassett is a really big, heart-felt thank you on behalf of the gov-ernment and the whole country,” he said.

Cameron said residents “have

done our country proud with the re-spect and admiration and passion they have shown for our armed forces and those who have tragically fallen in battle in Afghanistan and elsewhere.”

Queen Elizabeth II also honored the town earlier this year by formally changing its name to Royal Wootton Bassett.

The town’s residents began their efforts four years ago with only the humblest organization. Local shops spread the word by posting notices in their windows, and the local branch of the Royal British Legion made phone calls and sent emails to let people know when a procession was expected.

The local pub started setting aside a room each time so that family and friends of the slain troops could have privacy while they waited for the cor-tege to make its sad journey.

Officials said bereaved families will make use of a newly built repa-triation center at the air force base in Oxfordshire.

“This center has been designed with the needs of the families and loved ones of those being repatriat-ed at its heart,” Brize Norton Station Commander Dom Stamp said. “All along this has been of paramount im-portance, and I am confident that the facilities we now have will assist us in our efforts to ensure we provide the maximum support at what is an ex-tremely traumatic time.”

DENVER — A 61-year-old retired logger feared he might die alone in a remote Colorado forest after his right foot was pinned under his six-ton trailer. With few choices, he used a 3-inch pocket knife to cut off all five toes to get free.

“It hurt so bad,” Jon Hutt said, “I would cut for a while and then I had to rest.”

He then climbed into his semi tractor-trailer, his foot wrapped in a shirt, and began driving in search of help. His ordeal was first re-ported in the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel.

Hutt, who runs a crane business and does logging “for fun,” and who has also worked as a miner, ran a saw mill, built log houses and grew up on a ranch, had gone into the woods by himself on Aug. 19 to retrieve a pile of fallen aspen trees to cut for winter firewood. A trail-er that was attached to his truck slipped and landed on his foot.

The wiry, 180-pound man told The Associated Press that he

began cutting off his toes about 30 minutes later when he realized no one could hear his cries for help. He said he couldn’t reach his cell phone, which was in his truck and out of service range anyway.

Hutt told his wife he would be back in several hours from a job 50 miles away, but he did not know when she might start searching for him.

“I cut off my boot to see my foot, and once I realized how bad it was, I started cutting off my toes,” he said.

Once he freed himself, Hutt stopped the bleeding with a shirt and drove toward his home outside Montrose, about 175 miles south-west of Denver. He called for help once he was in cell phone range, and an ambulance met him on the way.

He said authorities retrieved his severed toes and took them to the hospital, but doctors said the toes couldn’t be re-attached because they were too badly mangled.

“They told me there was no hope for them. They said there was nothing to attach the toes to,” Hutt

said.Instead, doctors sewed his foot

shut and wrapped it in bandages. Doctors warned that he may face more surgery.

Hutt said his wife met him at the hospital and asked him if he was OK.

“There was no crying or whin-ing,” he said.

His wife, Margaret, said she didn’t worry because she knew her husband might be gone for most of the day, but she started shaking when she got a message he left on her cell phone: “Please call; I cut my foot off.”

She said she was only slightly relieved when she found out it was his toes.

Hospital spokeswoman Leann Tobin said Hutt was released on Aug. 22. Hutt said he didn’t think about the 2003 ordeal of Aaron Ralston, who amputated his right arm after it was pinned beneath a boulder in a Utah canyon, until someone reminded him about it at the hospital.

Ralston’s story became the sub-ject of the movie “127 Hours.”

Even adults say the world is a scary place — remember how it was when you were a kid?

In a society that bombards its mem-bers with visual stim-uli, Rebecca Salazar, a painter and UNM alumna, said media have a signi� cant impact on the people who consume them. She said numerous studies on how me-dia consumption af-fects viewers show they absorb the emo-tion of what they see, like when people who were actually far removed from 9/11 took it personally.

“So what’s hap-pening is you have a lot more aggression in general,” she said. “One way to kind of bring that back down is � rst to be aware, then not allow your-self to see so much stimulation.”

She said she � nds herself soaking up everything she sees. Like replacing one addiction with an-other, to Salazar painting is a coping mechanism that she has relied on since she was 14 years old.

“� e more social issues that come up or tragedies that happen in the world, pain among human-ity, instead of thinking about it and making myself anxious, I paint,” she said. “I think it’s just my own per-sonal way of dealing with all the tur-moil in the world.”

“Who Will Save Us Now?” is Salazar’s latest collection and will be shown at the Cellar Door gal-lery from tomorrow until Oct. 2. � e opening reception will be held next

Friday, Sept. 9 at the gallery.� is collection concludes a con-

cept she’s been working on for a while. � e prime subject focuses on children as superheroes, though not ostensibly in peril.

“So then it (the child) becomes the hero, the savior; the idea of them in these situations, improving it, prevailing in the situation,” she

said. “I think often times people see it, and they think, ‘Oh, you’re paint-ing a child in a fearful situation.’ It’s my perspective, that doesn’t mean people necessarily get it.”

Salazar said many viewers have failed to grasp that to look at the world through children’s eyes gives adults the perspec-tive they need in or-der to spur positive change, and ulti-mately, create a bet-ter world.

� at’s how art is, Salazar said: rather than saving the day with physical force, she is hoping to in-spire by sharing a point of view she still understands and connects with.

“I do have a kid, and that’s been sort of recent,” she said. “You get a whole di� erent focus on the world when you have a child. … I’ve worked in preschools and been a nanny, and so that was an-other thing. You can always ask kids how to solve problems. � ey’d always be like, ‘Well, why are people upset?’ It’s so com-plicated, explaining why people do hor-

rible things. � ey have very simple answers for these things.”

Jessica Duverneay, owner of Cel-lar Door, said she agrees the mes-sage is not immediately apparent. More show than tell, she said the paintings illustrate a window in time for the viewer to create his or her own context.

“When you look at her paint-

ings, they’re really narrative,” she said. “� ere’s something going on, and you’re looking at a crucial turn-ing point in whatever story is hap-pening. It gives the viewer a chance to think of what happened before and what’s going to happen after. � ey’re very cinematic; they say a lot more than you’re actually seeing on the canvas.”

Salazar’s former art professor

Nancy Pauly said Salazar’s superior technical skill surpasses that of most students in her experience and is on par with masters like Rembrandt. She said viewers are struck initially by this aesthetic appeal, then drawn in further by the “quizzical” nature of the paintings.

“What’s so amazing in her work is it’s satirical — she’s really funny,” she said. “Your curiosity is de� nite-

ly piqued; you’re brought into it. She grabs your attention in a really amusing, comical way, yet you also feel this sense of the tragic.”

Cellar Door typically opts to show “creepy” items, and Duverneay said this collection doesn’t really � t, the-matically speaking. Despite this, She said the meticulous execution of the well-developed, cohesive body of work convinced her to accept the collection.

“I think people will spend less time trying to nit-pick each paint-ing and more time really just blown away by the technical superiority of these pieces,” she said. “It’s not just ‘Oh, randomly this painting got made.’ It’s very intentional work.”

Some say Israelis and Palestin-ians are like oil and water — they just don’t mix.

Creativity for Peace, a Santa Fe-based organization, is proving a means by which peaceful coexis-tence could eventually be possible. The organization has been bring-ing young girls from Israel and Pal-estine to New Mexico for the last nine years. During their stay, execu-tive director Dottie Indyke said girls from both sides of the historic con-flict can learn to open up to each other on neutral ground.

“They are raised with enormous stereotypes about the other side,” she said. “The Israeli girls think all the Palestinian girls are suicide bombers; terrorists. For the Pales-tinians, the stereotype of the Israelis is a soldier — the soldier who stands at the checkpoint and unnecessar-ily humiliates Palestinians going through.”

This common misperception stems from media coverage focused on the military and political figures in either nation as well as the citi-zens’ limited contact with “the other side,” said Rachel Hammer, Creativ-ity for Peace volunteer.

“They’re right there, a matter of miles away, but they’ll never meet

them,” she said. “So (here) they’re able to meet the other side and get to know the other person as a per-son and not just label them … They all figure out they have a lot more in common than they originally think. They’re all just teenage girls that can relate in all these different ways.”

The program accepts 16 girls ev-ery year after an extensive applica-tion process. Because they invest $5,500 in each girl, they want to be certain those selected are the most promising candidates for inspiring change.

The methods for creating this new bond are grounded in what Indyke said are called “authentic speaking and compassionate listen-ing.” Every day, the girls spend a few hours relating their personal stories in the morning. Throughout the day they do various activities together, such as the ropes course and cir-cus training with Wise Fool, a circus group in Santa Fe.

This continues daily for three months. Hammer said one of the most notable changes took place in a Palestinian girl.

“She thought about killing Israe-lis and doing all these awful things because her life was so hard over in Palestine,” she said. “She said if it wasn’t for Creativity for Peace, ‘I would probably be over there killing people. I just didn’t see a way out.’ She really could see hope, see them as friends instead of enemies.”

While politicians seek to make changes through rhetoric that’s never heard by their peers, Indyke said they are able to fundamen-tally change the girls’ perspectives through the heart rather than a meeting of minds.

“How is anything going to change if you don’t have compassion for where the other person is coming from?” she said. “Whether that per-son is your enemy, the opposing po-litical party or that person wants to actually kill you? What we believe

Peace starts in New Mexicois the only kind of connection be-tween people that’s going to last and change minds is when you re-ally get to know someone and lis-ten to their point of view.”

The program is designed to send the girls back to their home countries with coping and leader-ship skills by the end of the sum-mer. To establish inner peace first, Indyke said, is a crucial step in fa-cilitating peace around you.

“Whether I think that’s actually something that could realistically happen — no, I’m too old and cyni-cal for that,” she said. “But I think our girls, they don’t have to be world leaders in order to be peacemakers. I really believe that societies change before governments do.”

UNM’s Megatherium Club is as mysterious as its name suggests.

The only on-campus group devoted to the study of esoteri-cism is named after a prehistor-ic sloth that weighed 8 tons, the megatherium.

After a cursory glance the club looks like the zaniest UNM has to offer, but in reality there is sub-stantial depth to it.

Marita Campos-Melady, co-chair of the Megatherium Club, said that esotericism, unlike sys-tems of organized religion, is a spiritual study that transcends all religions.

“Esotericism is the idea that there’s an underlying symbolism, an underlying way that people re-late to religions or to magic, and some people can understand that underlying symbolism,” she said.

The purpose of the club is to promote the academic study of esotericism while still maintain-ing the light-hearted atmosphere the club’s name suggests, she said.

This group isn’t the first to be named after the 8-ton sloth.

The first Megatherium Club was composed of a group of Smith-sonian scientists who worked on classifying species of animals. They were known not only for their academic knowledge but

for their mischievous pranks and sense of humor, Campos-Melady said.

“To me that was just a fun way to say ‘We’re going to have fun with philosophy and with history and all of it.’”

The group balances fun with serious discussion. Spirituality is often ignored by today’s scien-tists, and yet it has been one of the biggest draws for people — including scientists — throughout history, she said. Campos-Melady considers herself a scientist in the traditional sense.

“I think that to understand hu-man beings and the human expe-rience, you have to understand how they make meaning, how they understand symbolism, how that affects their behavior and their societies,” she said.

George Sieg, the club’s faculty adviser, said the study of esoteri-cism is not considered to be very important in the United States, al-though it has piqued interest in Europe.

“The significance of esoteri-cism has often been underval-ued in Western scholarship until recently,” Sieg said. “For a while these traditions were defined by their marginality, defined as her-esies, and this has really been a great disservice in significance to the general continuum of Western thought and philosophy.”

He said comprehending

esotericism is a fundamental part of understanding many modern religious movements, and that this knowledge applies to other unexpected parts of society as well.

“Even when you look at pop cul-ture, the idea of esotericism as the doctrine of philosophy behind ideas of magic is accurate,” he said. “The very fact that average school chil-dren and teenagers watch “Harry Potter” and want to be wizards sug-gests that some of these traditions have symbolic elements that appear in modern times. It’s good to be able to see how they relate and also differ from mainstream religious practices.”

Campos-Melady said students seem to perceive the club in a nega-tive, unfounded light.

“Sometimes we’ve tabled on campus and people have come up to us and said, ‘Do you guys worship the devil?’ And I’m like, ‘No, we’re just reading books, sorry to disap-point.’” she said.

This negative hype is detrimental to the club’s mission.

“It’s a passion of mine to bring the practicality back to spirituality and recognize that it is part of our human experience,” she said. “Peo-ple can sometimes get very sensa-tional about the occult and magic, very superstitious, and that’s scary to me. It’s a dangerous human ten-dency to get sensational about other people’s beliefs, because it’s really

Heavy thinkers keep it lightby Matt Voltz

The Associated Press

VIRGINIA CITY, Mont. — The Gypsy sat for decades in a restau-rant amid the Old West kitsch that fills this former gold rush town, her unblinking gaze greeting the tour-ists who shuffled in from the creak-ing wooden sidewalk outside.

Some mistook her for Zoltar, the fortune-telling machine featured in the Tom Hanks movie “Big.” Others took one look at those piercing eyes and got the heebie-jeebies so bad they couldn’t get away fast enough.

But until a few years ago, nobody, not even her owner, knew the non-functioning machine gathering dust in Bob’s Place was an undiscovered treasure sitting in plain sight in this ghost town-turned-themed tourist attraction.

The 100-year-old fortune teller was an extremely rare find. Instead of dispensing a card like Zoltar, the Gypsy would actually speak your fortune from a hidden record player. When you dropped a nickel in the slot, her eyes would flash, her teeth would chatter and her voice would come floating from a tube extending out of the eight-foot-tall box.

Word got out when the Montana Heritage Commission began restor-ing the Gypsy more than five years ago, and collectors realized the ma-chine was one of two or three “ver-bal” fortune tellers left in the world.

One of those collectors, magician David Copperfield, said he thinks she is even rarer than that.

“I think it’s only one of one,” Copperfield said in a recent telephone interview with The Associated Press.

Copperfield wanted the Gypsy to be the crown jewel in his collection of turn-of the century penny arcade games. It would occupy a place of pride among the magician’s mech-anized Yacht Race, Temple of Mys-tery and various machines that test-ed a person’s strength.

Copperfield acknowledged ap-proaching the curators about buy-ing the Gypsy a few years ago but declined to say what he offered. Janna Norby, the Montana Heri-tage Commission curator who re-ceived the call from Copperfield’s assistant, said it was in the ballpark of $2 million, along with a proposal to replace it with another fortune-telling machine. On top of that, he pledged to promote Virginia City in advertisements.

But Heritage commission cura-tors, representing the Gypsy’s own-er — the state of Montana — reject-ed the idea, saying cashing in on this piece of history would be akin to selling their soul.

“If we start selling our collection for money, what do we have?” said Norby, the commission’s former cu-rator of collections.

The commission’s acting direc-tor, Marilyn Ross echoed Norby’s sentiments: “That is not something we would ever consider, selling off these antiques.”

That dismissal has set collectors grumbling. Theo Holstein, a Califor-nia collector and renovator of such machines, said he thinks the Gypsy is wasted in Virginia City and should be placed in a private collection for proper care. He said he is trying to gather investors to make a $3 mil-lion bid that would top Copper-field’s offer.

On the corner of Carlisle Bou-levard and Central Avenue stands a small artistic haven that houses the works of countless nearby art-ists, clashing together in a colorful collection of products provided by local painters, musicians, jewelry makers and even beekeepers.

That haven — Kosmic Trading Post — serves as an outlet for artis-tic goods, services and training with one goal in mind: to build a com-munity for artists. Store owner and manager Chance Katz has lived by this mission since the store’s first days in 2008.

“I really feel like artists need a space where they can be respect-ed and have a place to show their work,” Katz said. “That’s one of the reasons I opened Kosmic.”

Katz has actively been involved with the arts since her childhood. She grew up in a creative commu-nity, and she came to know it as a place where any type of expression is accepted and nurtured. Kosmic Trading Post, she said, is how she expanded this environment.

“I think there are a lot of free thinkers out there that are full of ideas that could benefit society, but it’s hard for them to be heard in traditional ways,” she said. “Get-ting ideas out there and being able to look at new ways of dealing with things is essential right now.”

Dan Garduño, an artist whose glass artwork has been displayed at Kosmic, has been providing glass blowing lessons and demonstra-tions for nearly two years. Garduño pursued Kosmic after hearing about the studio and its efforts to display some of his work.

“They basically invited me in at a time of need,” Garduño said. “I really needed to come in and be around some good positive energy and good people. They helped me out with that a lot.”

Katz said Kosmic is run by 17 dif-ferent artists, each of whom brings a unique talent to the store. From tarot card readings to massage ther-apy, crystal healings to workshops in jewelry making, Katz said it is the coexistence of each trade that makes this store thrive.

“The main thing, I think, is that we’re a co-operative, and in the economic market that is going on right now, the most important thing is that people have to band together and help each other out,” he said. “I think that human beings

are pack animals, and we really need to work together in order to benefit each other. It just really opens things up and provides so much more opportunity for everyone.”

Gabriela Bateman, a psychic reader who has worked with Kos-mic for about two years, said she agreed with Katz.

“We all work together for heal-ing and support,” Bateman said.

She said she loves her co-work-ers, and working at Kosmic Trad-ing Post is like creating a big com-munity project. It’s an artistically open approach to work that Bate-man said she enjoys.

“A creative community can help because, I think, when it all comes together, you can have the sup-port of the community,” Bateman said. “It doesn’t matter the back-ground or where you come from. I think everybody likes art and mu-sic and some sort of communicat-ing in all levels of society. For me, being creative means to express what everyone wants to do, to be-come one with things that you can possibly make.”

Rivas’ pixie coif lends an air of inno-cence to balance out the daring heels. Opting for tasteful, classic accents to a simplified outfit, Rivas said her fashion sense is inspired by nostalgia for the mid-20th century.

In a sea of men dressed only in the basic necessities, Heintz sets himself apart with a colorful pair of shades. Heintz gets bonus points for snagging them for free — a cornerstone of

them beyond all belief. I think it’s be-cause I’ve worn glasses all my life, and it just really annoys me.”

Favorite fashion trend: “I think something that’s a little classier with modern taste, like a girl wearing pearls with something more modern, so it’s very classy and traditional.”

Advice to a fashion-defunct friend: “Just wear things that make you feel comfortable, that you don’t step too far out of your bounds with. I would steer them away from those big glasses.”

hipsterdom. Of course, it’s necessary to roll on the cheap to pay for his flights to New York City in February, when shoes are least expensive.

Least favorite fashion trend: “I guess those weird little toe shoes; those strange looking toe shoes. I don’t know if that’s my least favorite, but I feel like they’re kind of misused. They’re meant for trail running.”

Favorite fashion trend: “I’ve been getting into V-necks. Is that a trend?”

Advice to a fashion-defunct friend: “Just look in a mirror. I would say col-ors are important, they should match up with your skin tone and hair color.”
