� e UNM Foundation, an inde-pendent institution responsible for much of the University’s funding, has seen a $15 million drop in donations this year.

For the � scal year ending in June, the foundation received $75.1 mil-lion in donations, down from $90 million the previous year. Donations from corporations decreased from $21.6 million to $15.6 million, said Jill Zack, a UNM Foundation spokes-person. In contrast, donations from alumni increased last � scal year from $15.2 million to $18.1 million.

But Zack said the decrease is nothing to worry about.

“We’re continuing business as usual,” she said. “We’re not that con-cerned, because of the way gifts skew numbers. We deal with a lot of ma-jor giving. If somebody gives an $8 million gift, it obviously skews the numbers.”

For the past two � scal years, Zack said the overall number of donors has been about 17,000 people. � is year, the foundation received 11 do-nations of more than $1 million, add-ing up to 23 percent of the money given. In the 2008-09 � scal year, the foundation got 12 large donations, totaling 43 percent of all donations, she said.

Since the number of major do-nors is so small, Zack said it is com-mon for the total amount of contri-butions to change year-to-year, but none of it has to do with the econom-ic downturn.

“Traditionally, giving doesn’t re-ally go along the economic lines of the country,” she said. “If the econ-omy is going down, giving doesn’t tend to follow that spike.”

� e numbers may back that up. In 2004, the foundation received

$46.6 million. � e number has risen until last year. � e two highest years were from 2007 to 2009, Zack said.

UNM alumni were the largest contributing group last year, and contributors decide if they want their donations to go toward scholarships, speci� c departments, construction work or the endowment fund.

Against the overall decrease in donations, data from the UNM Foun-dation shows that contributions to the endowment fund increased .2 percent to $15.4 million. � e endow-ment fund supports student scholar-ships, professorships and graduate student fellowships.

UNM’s College of Education dean announced an education reform that will take a “holistic” approach to teaching students throughout the state’s school systems.

Dean Richard Howell encouraged the N.M. Legislature and commu-nity members as well as those who work in education to work together and create a comprehensive educa-tion plan that would propel students through primary education into high-er learning.

“� e plan is designed to actual-ly help de� ne what student perfor-mance is in the schools and in uni-versities, then to limit that de� nition to the actual teacher performance evaluation process,” he said. “What it does is bring a really good focus on how students are learning and how we can facilitate that learning.”

Howell pitched the program to the United Way of Central New Mexico’s Alexis de Tocqueville Society Sept. 14, an outline that was the starting point for the United Way’s campaign to use part of its community funding for education.

fell last year by about $6 million. He said the drop a� ects construction projects the most.

“� is is largely due to a reduction in large donations to support capital building projects,” he said.

Student Galen Billings said that diminished funding from corpora-tions is good and bad.

“Corporations contributing to the University is a good, altruistic thing, but, at the same time, it privatizes

it,” he said. “It’s the same as when interested parties donate to politi-cal parties. ... (� e drop in donations is) a give and a take. � e alumni has de� nitely stepped up to the plate, though.”

of United Way of Central New Mexico, said Howell’s proposal has been well-received.

“We feel the time is right for a com-prehensive conversation on the com-plicated issues surrounding educa-tion in Central New Mexico,” he said. “As a convener of key topical conver-sations that are intended to stimulate dialogue, it is important that many community voices are heard in fo-rums that allow for all views.”

Howell said his “Mini Marshal Plan” would be put into place over the next four years. He said subpar education needs to be tackled by community members and teachers across the state.

“� e key to the plan that I am pro-posing is that we, as an entire soci-ety in New Mexico, rise up and work together to try and push solutions

against all the issues that exist in stu-dent learning and that prevent stu-dent learning,” he said. “We aren’t go-ing to immediately change the course of education by doing this, but what we want to do is to produce enough result that gives the community the reasonable expectation that we can make progress.”

Too often, Howell said, the pub-lic blames teachers for educational shortcomings.

“� ere are a lot of other variables involved in student learning. People don’t like to deal with things like pov-erty, where students come to us with no books in the home or they haven’t eaten, (and) they don’t have coats in the winter,” he said. “People don’t like to deal with things like that be-cause those are large societal prob-lems, and it’s hard to get your hands

around them, but it doesn’t mean that they went away.“

Howell said educational reform isn’t just providing students with more technology or facilities.

“It’s … working together in part-nership to advance and reform the curriculum for math and science at the public school level,” he said. “Giv-en the outcomes that we’re looking at around the state, this is a critical is-sue for economic development in the state of New Mexico.”

Howell said New Mexicans need to be in agreement about educational reform before change is e� ected.

“I personally don’t believe we are going to make progress on this issue until we have a state mandate that we all work together and leverage all of our abilities toward a single solution,” he said.

State fair closures cut costs

Since most patrons visit later in the week, o� cials at the New Mexico State Fair decided to close on Mon-days and Tuesdays this year, said Craig Swagerty, the fair’s general manager.

Still, fairgoers haven’t been de-terred by early-week closures, and Swagerty said the fair’s revenue and attendance is up from last year.

“We did a study, and we found that 67 percent of our business is on the weekends, � ursdays and Fri-days. We don’t even have enough at-tendance on Mondays and Tuesdays to cover our overhead,” he said.

� e State Fair continues until Sept. 26.

UNM student Heather Cruz said closing on low-attendance days is a smart, cost-cutting mea-sure.sheSwaggerty said fair o� cials wanted to keep the fair open for three weekends, but therethe num-ber of jobs o� ered at the fair hasn’t decreased as a result of the closure. have not been a decrease in jobs of-fered at the fair.

“We’ve cut our hours down enough that it’s become pro� table now for us,” he said. “� ey’re (ven-dors) cutting their overhead, too, and they’re still making as much money.”

Desi’Rai Tolson, a dunk girl in the midwaywho works at a state fair dunk tank, is among many

temporary fair workers. “I sit 25 feet high up in the air, and

people throw a ball at a target and dunk me. It’s cool because I get to swim on a hot day,” she said.

Cruz said when she attended the fair earlier this month, the price of rides and food were cheaper com-pared to past years.

“I go to the state fair almost ev-ery other day of every year,” she said. “� e rides are cheaper. � is year, you can spend $15 dollars for an all-day ride pass, which is awesome. � ey dropped their turkey leg prices down by a quarter.”

Entrance fees, however, have re-mained the same from last year — between $7-9, Cruz said.

Despite all the changes this year, Swaggerty said the fair is still a fam-ily a� air, but event coordinators have tried reaching out more to college students.

“We’ve got a great concert this Saturday night with Uncle Kracker. We’re trying to � nd something that the college kids can get into. Next year, I’d love to visit with some of you from the college and (hear you) say, ‘Hey, why don’t you bring this in, or this in?’ so we can appeal to every-one,” he said.

But overall, Swaggerty said, the year’s fair has been successful.

“It’s worked out fantastically for us,” he said. “We’ve been very fortu-nate. It’s been safe. It’s been clean. � at’s what some of my goals are and to make it fun.”

Editor,

UNM is dealing with painful cuts in fund-ing, with rami� cations that include cutting phone lines, � ring TAs, increasing class sizes and reducing class options for undergradu-ates. At the same time, the roles at UNM are increasing in part because people now unem-ployed are trying to increase their skill sets. In other words, people are vying to improve themselves, making themselves more market-able and more valuable to the work force. It seems odd that at the same time that peo-ple realize the value of a good education, the state makes cuts there. Both higher education and primary education are vital for the state’s economy. Education is one area that a cut not only slices options now, but also reduces op-tions for future people.

Mark TyraUNM student

Editor,

What is most important in an election year is that voters get to know the candidates be-hind all the rhetoric before they cast their votes.

� is is so because, in this country, we elect those we entrust to lead us. To be elect-ed, a person must use the proper rhetoric that appeals to most voters. Quite often, in an election campaign, the rhetoric that is used does not re� ect what motivates can-didates in seeking positions of authority.Some candidates seek public o� ce so they can in� ate their egos and/or person-al wealth and have no interest whatsoever in improving the life situations of those in the public. � e rhetoric politicos use dur-ing campaigns obscures their hidden mo-tivation. During campaigns, the rhetoric is not con� ned, by integrity, to what is factu-al regarding themselves or their opponents.Other candidates look to be in a position of leadership so that they are able to, in the words of � eodore Roosevelt, “Do what they can, where they are, with what they have,” to improve the life situations of all those who compose the public.

It is voters’ responsibility to hear the rheto-ric and know the person behind the rhetoric. It is only when this is the reality that every-one’s best interests are served.

Editor,

A U.S. cartoonist now hides from Muslim threats. The U.S. government has told her to hide rather than hunt down Islamic organi-zations that support the fatwah death edict against her.

Seattle Weekly editor-in-chief Mark D. Fefer announced in Wednesday’s issue that Molly Norris’ comic would no longer ap-pear in the paper.

Her satirical “Everybody Draw Moham-med Day” sparked death threats, and Fefer wrote that the FBI advised Norris to move, change her name and wipe away her iden-tity because of the religious edict threaten-ing her life.

“She is, in effect, being put in a witness-protection program — except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab,” Fefer wrote. “She likens the situation to can-cer — it might basically be nothing; it might be urgent and serious; it might go away and never return, or it might pop up again when

she least expects it.”Norris’ cartoon inspired a Facebook

page that caught the attention of authorities in Pakistan, who responded by banning the social networking site.

Most Muslims regard any depiction of the prophet, even favorable ones, as blas-phemous. If that is a problem for most Mos-lems, then the Western world has a serious issue on its hands, a clash of existentiality.

The Facebook page encouraged people to post images of Mohammed to protest threats against the creators of the Ameri-can TV series “South Park” for depicting the prophet in a bear suit during an episode earlier this year. Although the Facebook page was taken down by its creator, refer-ences to the page and to Norris’ cartoon re-main online.

Norris wrote in a post on her website that she meant her work only to be a commen-tary on the “South Park” controversy.

“I made a cartoon about the television show ‘South Park’ being censored,” she wrote. “I never started a Facebook page. I apologize to people of Muslim faith and ask that this ‘day’ be called off.”

She declared May 20 as “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day,” and it depicts a group of

colorful animated objects under the head-line: “Will the real likeness of the prophet Mohammed please stand up?!” The cartoon says it’s sponsored by “Citizens against Cit-izens against Humor.” That fictional group now has its own website featuring cartoons and comments.

Welcome to the religion of “peace.” It’s fair to say that its version of peace looks more like Islam is dominant and everything and everyone else is submissive. Not exact-ly the “peace” that you and I grew up with, is it? Let’s be real instead of perpetually de-luding ourselves and ignoring the pink, se-rial-killing elephant in the room.

Lastly, I would appreciate if Muslims who identify as “moderate” would speak up about and against such things. How come their voice is rarely, if ever, heard? Surely there is no diminishment of the 1.5 billion Muslims in this world? Are they afraid their peaceful co-religionists will turn on them, or is the term “moderate” very misleading in Islam?

Reducing education budgetis counterintuitive

Danny HernandezDaily Lobo Guest Columnist

In the � rst part of this series on UNM trans-portation, I discussed how UNM Parking and Transportation Services needs to step up to reduce the carbon footprint created by UNM’s transportation system – especially from sin-gle-occupancy vehicles (SOVs).

One of the best ways to reduce that carbon footprint is for people to rethink where they live.

I know this is outside today’s paradigm, but managing your travel options makes sense in a world of human-created climate instabil-ity and decreasing natural resources. Where you decide to live is the � rst step in managing those travel options.

Live near where you need to beIf UNM is where you work, study and/or

play, then consider living near UNM. I applaud the UNM administration for

working to increase its share of on-campus undergraduate student housing. Clearly, this is needed to alleviate the UNM area’s trans-portation woes. It’s too bad that in addition to creating housing for incoming freshmen, UNM is also creating parking for each incom-ing freshman. � is works against reducing UNM’s environmental impact and continues to reinforce the supremacy of SOVs.

For those who don’t want to live in on-campus student housing: � ere are many nearby o� -campus options that will reduce your driving costs, your commute times (more on this below) and maybe even the

need to own a car. Combining nearby hous-ing with alternative transportation greatly in-creases your options while decreasing UNM’s (and your) carbon footprint. Just walk around any of the neighborhoods surrounding UNM to � nd your favorite � avor of housing. � e op-tions range from shared living to small indi-vidual bungalows to e� ciencies – all within walking distance of UNM.

Transit-oriented livingIf you don’t want to live in any of the 12

neighborhoods surrounding UNM, transit-oriented living (TOL) might be an option for you. TOL simply means living near a transit corridor or node where transit is convenient for many of your trips.

If UNM is your main destination, this pretty much means living near Central Avenue, with Downtown probably being the most attractive option, where you will have nearby access to both Rapid Ride (express) and Route 66 bus-es. You’d be surprised to learn that a bus ride along Central that drops you o� on campus takes about the same amount of time (with less hassles) as driving, parking and then be-ing shuttled.

Bringing human-powered transportation into the mix can expand the � exibility of TOL. Bicycles, in-line skates and skateboards are a fun way to travel and a good way to stay � t. � ey also make transit work better because you can ride or skate to the nearest bus stop, carry your vehicle into or onto the bus and use it as your mode of transportation when you get to UNM.

Trail-oriented housingMost of Albuquerque’s trail network is su-

perimposed onto the Albuquerque Metropoli-tan Arroyo Flood Control Authority’s (AMAF-CA) storm water drainage network. � e North Diversion Channel (NDC), the backbone of AMAFCA’s northeastern system, originates un-derneath University Hospital. � is means many trails connect to a system that takes you straight to UNM. It also means that if you live anywhere near any of those trails, you have an o� -the-street direct route to UNM that works well for bicycles, in-line-skates and skateboards (although a little bumpy for the latter). If you live around Indian School Road and University Boulevard, you’ll be in class in less than 10 minutes. If you live a little farther, like around Montgomery Boule-vard and San Mateo Boulevard, you can get to your classroom in less than 30 minutes — door to door with no tra� c or automobile congestion to deal with. Try that commuting from the west side on a Monday morning.

If you want to invest less time and money into getting yourself to and from UNM, please consider either living, walking or bicycling dis-tance from UNM, near a transportation corri-dor or near a trail that will take you straight to UNM.

Burqueños have a chance to immerse themselves in Japanese culture on Sunday at the Japa-nese-American Citizens League’s Aki Matsuri (Fall Festival).

The annual festival, which is anime-themed this year in recog-nition of the art’s growing popu-larity in and out of Japan, gives attendees a taste of different Jap-anese art forms such as origa-mi, calligraphy, martial arts and, of course, cos-play for anime enthusiasts.

Esther Churchwell, a board member and Okinawa dancer, said people should get to know the cul-ture to better understand it.

“The reason we have Aki Mat-suri is for cultural sharing,” she said. “Because we’re a multicul-tural city, we can see that not all Asian communities are alike. We’re trying to show that each cul-ture is different.”

The festival also serves as a fundraiser to make the league’s vi-sion of building a Japanese Cultur-al Center a reality. To this end, the league hopes to sell all 600 tickets for a raffle with prizes valued at $100 and a grand prize of $10,000.

Steve Togami, the league’s di-rector, said the center would offer a niche for people to explore all things Japanese.

“Our perfect cultural center

would have a Japanese grocery store, restaurants, shops and space for meetings or classes, maybe cooking or martial art classes and a library,” he said.

Educational and cultural pres-ervation was established around WWII when Japanese-American citizens faced discrimination that led many of them to abandon their culture and assimilate.

Calvin Kobayashi, the league’s treasurer and Taiko drummer, said his parents discouraged him from learning the Japanese language.

“When I was younger, I remem-ber going to restaurants and hear-ing a lot of ‘hush-hush,’ people talking about me behind my back, that sort of thing,” he said. “Early on I wanted to be like everyone else. Nowadays being bilingual or multilingual is thought of as be-ing great, but growing up, if you had an accent, you were kind of a dummy.”

Togami said his early involve-ment with the League gave him a sense of belonging.

“When I was younger, almost all the Japanese families in New Mexico knew each other,” he said. “Any JACL event was like bring-ing family and friends together. It was great. Now that the NMJACL is growing, I do get to meet more people and learn more about the Japanese culture.”

As the effects of the war faded, Churchwell said the animosity has lessened, but that’s not to say there

are no longer issues that arise. “There are hate crimes —

against race, religion, sexual ori-entation, and so on, and because we’re a civil rights organization we’ve gone to battle for some of these people, gone to court to sup-port these people,” she said.

Kobayashi said gaining an un-derstanding of the various ways people live is key to harmonious relationships.

“If you share your culture, they have a better understanding that’s not based off hearsay,” he said. “Everybody is a human being, not just a Japanese-American or Mexi-can-American or anything that has to do with kind of stereotyping. By sharing our culture at a festival like this, we’re able to break down some barriers of people misun-derstandings and what they think the culture is about.”

If you want to see something like you’ve never seen before, go to Blackout.

The theater company dreams bigger than any other else and that absolutely shows.

If you were lucky enough to see “The Circus Plays,” you can appreci-ate what Blackout Theatre Compa-ny brings to the table. The Blackout core works on every detail collab-oratively — a great idea as the com-pany is bursting at the seams with talent.

This time Blackout produced “Rag & Bone,” directed by retired UNM professor Denise Schulz, and writ-ten by relatively new surrealist play-wright Noah Haidle. The script mir-rors Charlie Kaufman’s writing style (“Being John Malkovich” and “Eter-nal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”). The plot devices are outlandish, but at its core, the play is about people dealing with people. No matter how odd the story may be, it is undeni-ably grounded and identifiable. The staging is quick and creative, much like Blackout itself. Jeff An-dersen and Christopher Walsh play a pair of brothers who run a seem-ingly innocuous ladder store, which Andersen’s character, George, uses as a cover to sell human hearts.

But this is not your usual black-market organ operation. George quietly sells the hearts of saints and poets to meek, passionless souls who wander in looking for the spark for living. Meanwhile, an oddly co-incidental heartless poet (brilliant-ly played by Nick Lopez) wanders the streets, unable to write or feel. He meets a hooker and her pimp (a golden comedy team played

by Heather Yeo and Shannon Fly-nn) who helps him along with his fate of empty pleasure and painful experiences.

Andersen and Walsh are amaz-ing onstage, and especially togeth-er. Andersen can do anything as an actor, though his second-act per-formance is truly his tour de force. Yeo is consistently hilarious and a delight to watch both in her bright and dark times. Shannon Flynn makes you laugh by doing nothing. His character, a pimp called T-Bone, will be a favorite for sure, giving am-ple time for Flynn to show ability for powerful drama as well as comedy.

The actors are subtly assisted through the play by a group of oth-erworldly musicians (Monica De-marco, Hillari Straba and Daniel Villanueva) in the corner function-ing as a sort of Greek chorus. The other characters occasionally refer-ence them, as they exist to punctu-ate entrances and exits, moments of truth and song, and fill the space with the most perfect urban ambi-ence — glass bottles filled with wa-ter, an upside down trash can, saw and saxophone.

These are moments when Black-out truly moves beyond what is sim-ply solid, professional theater to something so special and unique that is almost defies description. Come to Blackout to see things you will see nowhere else. In “Rag and Bone,” you’ll witness a heartless poet receive a blowjob from a hook-er onstage at the same time as an open heart surgery.

Have you ever wondered what a pediatrician’s heart might look like? Well, now you can. Every prop is clearly made with attention and de-tail, putting The Box Performance Space’s small size to use so you may appreciate every nuance.

“Rag & Bone” is a dream you don’t want to wake up from. It’s ab-solutely bold, explosively creative, violently funny and, occasionally, heart wrenching.
