Rather than spending about $250,000 to perform a national search to � nd the University’s next provost, an internal search resulted in the full-term appointment of Chaouki Abdallah to the position.

In an email to the University on Wednesday, UNM President Robert Frank announced his decision to appoint Abdallah as provost of the University until 2016.

In 2011, following an internal search, Abdallah was appointed to interim provost until 2013. Before his term began as interim provost, Abdallah was a chair member of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.

In the email, Frank said that as soon as he arrived at UNM, he learned that the provost was supported by members at many levels of the administration, such as former UNM President David Schmidly, the Faculty Senate and the Board of Regents. He said that his decision to appoint Abdallah as provost was supported by the members of the administration and the regents.

According to Board of Regent pol-icy regarding the appointment and termination of key administrators,

the UNM president must conduct a search “unless there are exceptional circumstances and the regents have been consulted.”

“I value their views and would not take this step in the absence of their support,” Frank said. “I have consulted with the faculty leadership groups, our deans and allowed a long time period to lapse after the conversations to see if any new ideas arose.”

Frank said a national search would have cost about $250,000, would require more than eight months to complete and would immobilize the O� ce of the Provost. He said that the role of the provost and stability of the provost’s o� ce are critical to the University to implement academic policy.

“� e search would consume the entire � rst academic year of my presidency,” he said in the email. “One person I spoke to said ‘Your best

solution is to run a national search and then select Chaouki.’”

Frank said that although the tradition of a national search is valuable to the University, Abdallah would have been a candidate in that search. He said that a search would “validate Dr. Abdallah’s skills,” and that he would probably be selected because he has already proven to be valuable to the University.

“I think we would choose him from a pool based on his knowledge and experience with UNM,” he said. “In my mind, it is not worth eight months of searching and thousands of dollars to achieve this outcome.”

Poll: hold backstruggling readers

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — A new statewide poll commissioned by The Albuquerque Journal finds a strong majority of New Mexico voters want to keep third-graders who can’t read from advancing to the fourth grade.

The poll shows strong support, regardless of party affiliation, region or ethnicity, for ending so-called “social promotion.”

Ending the practice has been a major policy initiative of Republican Gov. Susana Martinez but has been blocked by the Democrat-controlled Legislature, with the backing of teacher unions and some school superintendents.

Proponents of a retention law argue that students who enter fourth grade unable to read are set up for later academic failure. Op-ponents say parents would not be able to override the decision to hold a student back and point to mixed results of retention policies elsewhere.

The Journal Poll of 402 like-ly voters was conducted over land lines and cellphones Sept. 3 through Sept. 6 by Research & Polling Inc.

It showed 75 percent of those asked wanted social promotion ended. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

Pollsters asked: “Do you support or oppose a state law that would allow public schools to hold back third-graders from advancing to the fourth grade if they cannot read at a third-grade level?”

Eighty percent of Republicans supported third-grade retention, and so did 69 percent of Democrats. Support was highest among independent voters, or those who decline to state a party affiliation, at 83 percent.

KAMPALA, Uganda — A team of scientists has identified a new species of monkey in central Africa that had been known to the locals simply as “lesula,” a medium-sized, slender animal that looks similar to an owl-faced monkey that was already known to scientists.

In findings published this week in the scientific journal Plos One, the researchers identified the species as Cercopithecus lomamiensis, which is endemic to the lowland rainforests of central Congo. This is only the second time in the past 28 years that a previously unknown species of monkey has been identified, they said, highlighting the importance of preserving biodiversity in a part of central Africa where forests are threatened by illegal logging.

Scientists began investigating in June 2007, when researchers saw a young female monkey of unknown species at the home of a school director. The new monkey was not quite similar to the

Researchers have identified a new species of African monkey, locally known as the Lesula, right, described in the Wednesday issue of the open access journal PLOS ONE. This is only the second new species of African monkey discovered in the last 28 years. The monkey bears a resemblance to the owl faced monkey, left, but its coloration was unlike that of any other known species.

New monkeyspeciesfound

clearly owl-faced Cercopithecus hamlyni, but researchers say the two are close relatives. The new findings prove the two monkeys are different species, even though to local hunters they might look similar. A lesula, for example, has “significantly larger incisors, upper and lower second molars…” A male lesula “emits a characteristic low frequency, descending, loud call or boom”

that is distinguishable from the vocalizations of the other male, the scientists reported.

Robert Kityo, a zoology professor at Uganda’s Makerere University, said the discovery is proof that Africa’s vast jungles are teeming with species yet to be discovered.

“Something that was thought to be abundant can turn out to be rare,” Kityo said, referring to the

previous confusion between lesu-la and a close relative. “In a sense, it’s a nice find.”

The research team described lesula as “semi terrestrial with a diet containing terrestrial herba-ceous vegetation.” The ape looks colorful in pictures, with a mane of “long grizzled blond hairs” and “a variably distinct cream colored vertical nose stipe,” as it is de-scribed by the scientists. There

is a faintly owlish look about the monkey. The eyes look almost human.

The team said the monkey’s common name should not be changed, since lesula is used over most of its known range. The study was a collaboration between various researchers and schools in the U.S. and elsewhere. Their final paper was edited by Samuel T. Turvey of the Zoological Society of London.

Advancement from page 1Martinez has tried for two years

to get a bill through the Legislature that would allow schools to hold back third-graders whose standardized test scores show they can’t read at grade level, even if their parents object. The bill would also require more reading intervention.

Current New Mexico law allows

parents to veto retention for one school year. If the school district recommends retention again the following year, officials can over-ride parents’ wishes.

Third-grade retention has had the most success in places that invested heavily in early literacy initiatives, such as hiring reading coaches.

The UNM volleyball team has

one more tournament this week-end before its MWC schedule be-gins, but head coach Jeff Nelson called the Oklahoma Invitational the “biggest test of the season.”

The Lobos (10-1) face a three-match slate in Norman, Okla. UNM plays Arkansas-Little Rock on Fri-day before taking on Southern Methodist University and Oklaho-ma on Saturday.

UNM has won all three tour-naments it competed in thus far, two at home and another in Geor-gia. The Lobos won their last nine matches, a stretch that includes four three-set sweeps.

Nelson said this early stretch is a “great start to the season” and the team is “miles ahead of where I thought we would be.”

“I thought we would have a much higher learning curve and have probably given up a couple of these close matches,” he said. “We had a couple where we came back and won, and we’ve had three five-gamers were able to win.”

Three of UNM’s 11 matches went five sets, and the Lobos won two of them.

Arguably the toughest five-set win came against UC Santa Bar-bara last Saturday. UNM dropped Sets 3 and 4 after holding a 2-0 lead, the result of a lack of focus, Nelson said. The Lobos rallied back in the decider, took an early advantage and closed out the victory.

The fifth set is a stressful envi-ronment. Nelson compared it to the first overtime session in soc-cer. Most fifth sets are completed in between eight and 12 minutes,

because teams play to 15 points instead of the usu-al 25.

However, teams can gain a lot of confidence when they play well in the final set.

“It can affect a whole team,” Nel-son said. “Last year we struggled in the fifth set and it hurt our season; this year, we’re so far rolling in the fifth set. It can be so touch-and-go with that stuff.”

The Lobos will need that confi-dence at the Okla-homa Invitational, specifically against the Sooners.

A member of the Big 12 Conference, Oklahoma holds an 8-3 record in 2012 after recording a 21-12 mark a year ago. At last weekend’s Ameritas Players Challenge in Lincoln, Neb., Okla-homa lost 3-0 to top-ranked Ne-braska but rebounded with a 3-1 win over No. 19 Kentucky and 3-0 victory over Duquesne.

“They’re a great program and in the postseason every year and fin-ish at the top of the Big 12,” Nelson said. “I think this is going to be a great test for us going into confer-ence the following week.”

Arkansas-Little Rock is 4-5 for the season, while SMU sits at 2-7. At its last competition, UALR won two of three matches at the Saluki Invitational. SMU lost all three of its matches at its home invitational last weekend.

“We’ve got to take them one at a time,” Nelson said. “We’ve got to get through those two first, and they’re both matches that, if we do what we’re supposed to, we can win.”

After the Oklahoma Invite, UNM begins conference play with a Sept. 20 home match against Colorado State. Nelson said he wants his team to keep improving and maintain its steadiness at the Sooners’ event in preparation for MWC play.

“I don’t think there is a kid that hasn’t played at least nine or 10 games this year,” he said. “We haven’t done that in the past. That speaks to the level of their vol-leyball IQ. They’re just a lot more solid.”

Last week, I had the great good fortune to attend a meditation retreat in the high coun-try of northern New Mexico. Over the course of three days, I sat for many hours on a cush-ion, silently bringing my attention back to my breath over and over again, or walked slowly upon the earth, soles alert to every pebble on the path. During the breaks, I savored delicious food, wandered flower-bedecked meadows, and immersed my senses in fresh air, stars and running water. There was no phone service, no Internet connection, no television. By the end of the retreat, I felt a depth of rejuvenation and calm that still sustains me.

Why am I telling you this? Beyond want-ing to share my joy, I thought you would be interested to know that meditation is actu-ally good for you. For starters, it can improve your GPA. Meditators have more gray matter. This has been measured. Gray matter is what does your homework for you, so, presumably, more is better. More specifically, the gray mat-ter growth that has been observed in medita-tors occurs in areas associated with learning and memory, sense of self, empathy and stress management.

Further, long-term meditators have more folds in their cerebral cortex, which allows for faster information processing. “Sitting” makes you smarter.

Meditation is also good for your health, both physical and mental. Scientists have stud-ied this, in typical scientist fashion, by plaster-ing electrodes all over the heads of meditating Buddhist monks, surveying thousands of peo-ple with a smartphone app and, of, course us-ing more conventional methods like basic lab measurements.

Meditation can lower blood pressure and pulse rates, improve your immune system and

decrease your experience of pain. People who meditate respond better to stress and have less anxiety, depression and insomnia. If you have a chronic illness, such as AIDS or cancer, medi-tation can help manage the physical and emo-tional symptoms.

Meditation and exercise are the only two activities proven to prolong brain function in old age. And perhaps most importantly, medi-tators are happier and more resilient in times of stress.

What is meditation anyway? In the simplest sense, it is the practice of relaxing the body and clearing the mind. Another way to de-scribe meditation is focused attention on the present moment with awareness and without judgment.

There are different kinds of meditation, but they all have the same goals. Mindfulness med-itation uses awareness of the body and mind to bring the attention to the here and now. Other traditions use an object or an image for focus, and some use a prayer, a mantra, or a wish for widespread happiness. Yoga was traditionally a way to prepare the body for sitting medita-tion, and can be used as a kind of movement meditation. There are many choices.

The concept of meditation is simple, but that doesn’t make it easy. The nature of the mind is wild and wandering, and achieving even a few moments of calm, present-moment awareness can take years of practice. Sakyong Mipham, a great Shambhala Buddhist teach-er, likens the mind to a wild horse that gallops off at every opportunity. Jack Kornfield, an in-ternationally renowned meditation teacher, writes that meditation is like training a puppy to sit and stay: the puppy always gets up and runs away, and you just pick it up and put it back down over and over again.

If you have never tried it, meditation might sound mysterious at best, and useless at worst. But more and more people are trying it, liking it, and keeping it up. It is sweeping the globe. In fact, just last weekend people in more than 100 cities around the world held a special medita-tion for peace. This included 100,0000 medita-tors in Buenos Aires alone.

If you think you might be interested in med-itation, you could start with some reading. In addition to the teachers mentioned above, I recommend Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chodron, the Dalai Lama or Jon Kabat-Zinn. These are just my personal favorites; there are many oth-ers. You could also check out a DVD, find a meditation center near you or take a class.

UNM Student Health and Counseling of-fers a free 90-minute workshop on mindful-ness meditation for UNM students. This work-shop will be held three times this fall: Sept. 25, Oct. 24 and Nov. 29. See shac.unm.edu/forms/counseling-workshops.html for details and registration, or call (505) 277-4537.

Amy Gross, former editor-in-chief of O, the Oprah Magazine, retired from her highly suc-cessful career to become a full-time medita-tion instructor and practitioner. She writes, “As you meditate, the grip of your history loosens and you get a little saner, lighter, less entan-gled.” Maybe that is what I was feeling up in the mountains last week. It’s somewhat indefin-able for me at this moment. All I know is that it felt good, and right, and if you’ll excuse me, I’m going back to my cushion.

Editor,

With election season upon us and our cam-pus once again swarming with campaign vol-unteers, it seems important to remind students that, if they value their privacy at all, it is vitally important that they do not register to vote.

This seems almost heretical in our society, with its zeal for participating in elections, but the dangers of registering are simply too large. Once a registration has gone through, anyone who knows your name and date of birth may look up your registration on the Bernalillo coun-ty website. This gives them access to your full name, party affiliation, and most troublingly, your address. Anyone at all may use the website, and there are no safeguards on the information whatsoever.

Now, you may be thinking to yourself, “Yeah, that’s a bit weird, but hey, it’s not like my birth-day is all that common knowledge,” (unless someone can view your Facebook page, of course). However, the privacy issues that occur with registration are far more serious than this. Our county clerk is willing to sell its voter re-cords to anyone affiliated with a campaign, and both the Democrats and the Republicans make a habit of buying this data at regular intervals. Once they have it, they enter it into a database program (the Democrats’ version is called Vote Builder). Information stored includes date of birth, phone number, address, time of residence at that address, party preference and, in some cases, ethnicity.

This information stays in the program basi-cally forever, and the data is searchable by name. Further, if more than one person living in a house is registered to vote, it’s usually fairly sim-ple to use this information to determine the rela-tionship between the various inhabitants. So, for instance, if you’re an elderly woman who lives alone, anyone who looks at Vote Builder will know this. Or if your son has recently returned from college and had to move back in with you, total strangers will know about it. This would be pretty creepy even if it were only highly-vetted professionals looking at the information.

As far as the national races go, the campaigns may very well put the effort into making sure that only people who have some business look-ing at the database are granted access. However, in state campaigns, no vetting takes place. These organizations are generally so starved for vol-unteers that they’ll accept anyone who’s willing to show up for a few hours, no questions asked. These volunteers are then given access to Vote Builder to help the candidate figure out which neighborhoods and houses to visit and which people to contact.

The potential for abuse of this system is pret-ty much limitless, and the state campaigns do nothing to stop such misuse. All of this would, I suppose, be acceptable if the rewards for vot-ing were greater. As it stands, the risk (getting en-tered into Vote Builder or the Republican equiv-alent and giving strangers access your personal information forever) far outweigh the rewards (having an infinitesimally small chance of de-ciding which of two fairly similar candidates will be given nominal control of this country for a few years). So, the next time you see one of those eager young people with their clipboard and t-shirt, turn around and walk away from them. It just isn’t worth it.

The men’s soccer team, in pursuit of its 14th straight home win, faces Dartmouth University today.

The TLC Plumbing, Cooling, and Heating Lobo Invitational kicks off with Missouri State taking on UC Ir-vine, followed by the Lobo-Big Green matchup at the UNM Soccer Complex tonight.

UNM (3-1-0) enters the game ranked No. 7 in the NSCAA poll fol-lowing a 2-0 victory over No. 25 ranked University Alabama of Birmingham. Dartmouth (2-2-0) comes to Albuquer-que after losing 2-1 to Southern Meth-odist University, which New Mexico defeated 3-1 earlier this season.

Head coach Jeremy Fishbein said the Big Green makes up for its lack of talent with its intellect.

“They’re not going to be as athletic or dynamic as us, but they’re going to very organized; they’re extremely well-coached and they are tough,” Fish-bein said. “We have to be patient and take advantage of the opportunities. Whether the goals come in the first 10 minutes or the last, we have to be con-fident that they’re going to come.”

In 2012, UNM has scored 2.25 goals per game while allowing 1.25 goals per game.

Senior forward Blake Smith has scored 6 points, including 2 goals, in only three games this season. Although New Mexico typically scores most of its goals in the second half, Smith said pa-tience is the key.

“We never force it,” he said. “We’re taught to be patient and wait for our opportunities, and sometimes we don’t get chances early on because teams like to come out of the gate hard against a ranked opponent like us. We’re always thought of as a second-half team, but we like to wait for teams to make mistakes so we can attack.”

After Victor Rodriguez served a two-game NCAA suspension, James Rogers served a three-game NCAA suspension and Blake Smith had to sit out last game due to a red card, the Lobos will put forward a full roster for the first time this regular season.

Smith earned a red card for arguing with a referee against SMU on Sept. 2

and, per NCAA rules, was suspended for the following game against UAB on Sept. 7. Rodriguez and Rogers were suspended for misconduct after last year’s NCAA tournament game versus the University of South Florida.

“It will be our first game where we’ll be at full strength,” said Fishbein. “It’s a great thing, but it brings about oth-er challenges like picking our lineup, because we have a lot of pieces and a lot of firepower. It’s a good problem to have as a coach, but I think as the sea-son progresses, it’s going to be more about men management and keeping guys happy.”

Although offensive scoring and goalkeeping have been highlighted this season, the midfield is the unsung catalyst of UNM.

“Our midfield has been good — I think our guys (Adrian) Mora Delgado, (Ben) McKendry, (Travis) Campbell, (Nick) Miele and (Matthew) Gibbons have been great,” Fishbein said. “It’s easy to focus on the guys who score

goals, but the leadership they provide is important and crucial.”

The midfield will have the task of trying to shut down Dartmouth, which averages 1.5 goals per game. Leading the way for the Big Green is sopho-more forward Alex Adelabu, who has a team-high 5 points, with 2 goals.

The UNM Soccer Complex has treated the Lobos well during the last two years, with the last loss dating back to Oct. 10, 2010 against Air Force 1-0.

“We’ve got the best fans in the coun-ty; I hope the weather is better and we put a great show out there for them,” Fishbein said. “They energize us.”

is unscathed versus NMSU, having beaten them 1-0 in 2010 and 4-0 last season.

Head coach Kit Vela said the Rio Grande Rivalry in women’s soccer is just as ferocious as in any other sport.

“It’s intense; it’s a contact sport so it’s a lot of fun,” she said. “A lot of the girls are from Albuquerque that play at New Mexico State, so we see them growing up; it’s a great rivalry, it’s a great game.”

Vela said NMSU still poses a threat despite their record of 1-5-1 this season.

“They’re a good team, they’ve got good players and it’s a rival game,” she said. “It’s going to be a great game and we’re just trying to feel ourselves out and contin-ue the rhythm we’ve found the last couple of weeks. It’s going to be a tough game but the girls are ready to play.”

The Aggies’ only victory of the season came against Southern Utah

1-0 on Sept. 2. NMSU has recorded four goals this season and is on a three-game losing streak.

The Lobos are coming off a 3-2 defeat at No. 22 Florida. UNM was ahead 2-1 when a 45-minute light-ning delay hit, and after the teams returned to the field the momen-tum shifted toward the Gators, who scored two goals to snag the win.

Senior Rachel Montoya, who scored three goals last week — two against Georgia and one versus Flor-ida — said officials told the team that if the game had continued six min-utes longer before the lightning de-lay, the Lobos would have clinched their first win over a ranked oppo-nent this season.

“Right before the delay, we scored an amazing goal,” Montoya said. “We had a lot of adrenaline and mo-mentum going and unfortunately we had a lightning delay, but I honestly think if we didn’t have the delay, we would have won that game. They had 45 minutes to regroup to think

it out, and when they came out, they came out pretty hard.”

UNM ranked fourth nationally in attendance for the second year in a row with a 2,032 fans-per-game av-erage, and Vela said it will be nice to see the home fans again.

“We’re happy to be home, but we’ve traveled well,” she said. “We’ve competed with some of the best teams in the country, but we love playing in front of our home crowd.”

Montoya said the team is ready to play in Albuquerque again.

“I don’t think anyone knows how excited we are to be home and to play in front of our fans again against NMSU,” she said. “It’s really exciting.”

The women’s soccer team re-turns home for the first time in

a month to take on rival New Mexico State on Sunday.

This will be the third-ever match between the Lobos and Aggies in women’s soccer. UNM

by Thomas [email protected]

It’s not often that a college football team challenges two Texas schools in two weeks.

That is the task the Lobos (1-1) face as they travel to Lubbock, Texas to play Texas Tech University (2-0) on Saturday.

UNM is coming off a 45-0 blowout loss to the University of Texas at Aus-tin, and head coach Bob Davie said this Texas road trip is the toughest of the season.

“We all know what a challenge it is to go to Lubbock, Texas,” he said. “I was at Texas A&M for nine years, and never did we play at Austin and at Lub-bock in the same season; they always split those two up. So to play both of them back-to-back weeks, it’s a heck of a challenge.”

UNM lost senior starting quarter-back B.R. Holbrook and senior wide receiver Lamaar Thomas against the Longhorns. Holbrook went out in the second quarter after he took a shot to the ribs, while Thomas withdrew with an apparent shoulder injury.

Davie said Thomas will be out for the game against Texas Tech, but UNM announced on Wednesday that Hol-brook is “highly probably,” going to play. Davie said Holbrook makes the Lobos’ passing game a threat.

“With (Holbrook), we’re fairly bal-anced and pretty good schematically,” he said.

The Lobos’ offense hasn’t been bal-anced this season, being dubbed the No. 11 rushing attack and the No. 123 passing attack in the nation.

Junior running back Kasey Carri-er said running the ball has been the strength of UNM thus far, but the pass-ing game needs to catch up.

“It’s very good actually, it’s a nice system to play in as a running back,” he said. “It functions around the running game more than the passing game.”

The state of Texas has not been kind to UNM, as the Lobos have lost 14 straight games to schools from Texas. Their last win over a Texas team was against UTEP, when UNM beat the Miners 26-13 in 2006.

Last year at University Stadium, the Red Raiders beat the Lobos 59-13 and Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege

completed 40 of 44 passes for 401 yards and five touchdowns. The Red Raider offense hasn’t missed a beat this sea-son with the No. 4 passing attack in the nation and an average of 363 yards per game.

Senior strong safety Matt Raymer said in order to stop that kind of aerial show again, the Lobo defense has to be on top of the ball.

“We have to make sure we’re set, know the calls and stay on top as a defensive back, because they’re very pass-efficient but they can also run the ball,” he said.

Davie said the key to stopping the Texas Tech offense is by shutting down Doege.

“He’s been sacked one time all year and (Texas Tech has) punted one time all year,” Davie said. “They have the perfect quarterback because his re-lease is so quick — some guys are back there in the shotgun and they’re a little bit robotic, but he catches it and it’s out there.”

The Red Raiders are coming off a 58-10 win at Texas State and have outscored their opponents 102-16 in their first two games.

Lobos take on Texas Tech’s ‘perfect quarterback’

Juan Labreche / Daily LoboRedshirt freshman Jhurell Pressley slips a Southern University player with the old okey-doke on Sept. 1. UNM travels to Lubbock, Texas to face Texas Tech on Saturday.

Red Raider head coach Tommy Tu-berville said the option offense that the Lobos run will cause the most trouble for Texas Tech.

“Yeah, it’s different because it’s as-signment football. It slows you down. On the snap of the ball, you’re not at-

tacking the line of scrimmage much. You’ve got to work more lateral, de-pending on what the guy in front of you does,” he said. “You’ve got the fullback coming through first, and you’ve got quarterback, and you’ve got the pitch guy, so it makes you think a lot more.”
