Classical-music lovers may not see much of Popejoy Hall auditorium in the weekends ahead.

� e New Mexico Symphony Or-chestra often performs at Popejoy, but since Aug. 31 , the 78 musicians in the orchestra have been in a pay dispute with the NMSO administration. As a result, the orchestra has stopped per-forming. � irteen NMSO musicians are also faculty members at UNM.

� e proposed 2009 contract — which the players declined — out-lined a 25 percent pay cut for musi-cians and a 10 percent to 14 percent pay cut for administrators.

A 25 percent cut would put the musicians at $15,000 a year, less than they made in 1992, NMSO oboe play-er and UNM Associate Professor Kev-in Vigneau said.

Vigneau also said that NMSO ad-ministrators earn six-� gure salaries.

But Richard White, NMSO tubist and UNM assistant professor, said he expects that some or all of the post-poned concerts will be canceled.

“� ey’re saying postponed. In my mind, postponed is cancelling, so that’s why I say they’re illegally lock-ing us out,” he said. “It’s going to get to a point now where it’s going to be impossible to reschedule all the concerts.”

While the 2009 New Mexico Legislature special session has yet to bear budgetary fruit, one thing is pretty much guaranteed: Univer-sity presidents will have discretion in making the cuts handed down to them from the state.

For UNM, this means that the University’s ethnic centers — in-cluding El Centro de la Raza, Af-rican American Student Services and American Indian Student Ser-vices — are going to be protected from any budget cuts, according to a statement from President David Schmidly.

“We’ve asked for � exibility in dealing with the proposed bud-get cuts so that we can do what’s best for the institution as a whole,” Schmidly said. “UNM’s ethnic centers are vital to the success of our students and it is always our

priority to preserve the programs that deal directly with student success.”

Before the special session, the Council of University Presi-dents wrote a letter to legislators requesting � exibility in imple-menting the cuts the Legislature recommended.

“Institutions want to control their own budget decisions,” the letter stated. “� e presidents re-quest discretion within and across appropriated line items so that each institution can make timely, prudent budgetary decisions in a dynamic environment.”

Marc Saavedra, director of gov-ernment relations at UNM, said New Mexico’s state senators and representatives have responded positively to the presidents’ re-quest. All bills proposed have clauses providing for university discretion.

“I think they all have language

on � exibility,” Saavedra said. “� e Legislature is completely on board with the universities having � exibility.”

Saavedra said that after cuts to the instructional and general funds and special projects are out-lined — either in the special ses-sion or in December’s regular ses-sion — Schmidly will confer with representatives from University departments.

“� ere’ll be collaboration with the deans and people in those projects,” he said. “We’re required through the Higher Education De-partment to assess those projects and gather information, so there’ll be discussion on how to imple-ment those cuts. … It’s not going to be done with one person decid-ing how they’re going to do this. � ere’s going to be a process that involves those who are overseeing

Daily Lobo: How long have you been doing flips?

Zackery Wright: I have been doing it for three years.

DL: How did you learn?ZW: I taught myself very carefully. You

start off with little stuff. I saw a video on YouTube and decided to try it.

DL: Have you gotten hurt by doing it?ZW: The worst thing I have done is

lacerated my knee and had to get stitch-es, but other than that just little scrapes.

DL: How long were you out for?ZW: For three months. I just had to get

a couple of stitches. It was not too bad.DL: Do you have any other activities

you do?ZW: I have been (ballroom) dancing. I

started last semester.DL: How did you get into dance?ZW: I was watching this show “So You

Think You Can Dance,” and I really liked that. My friend told me that they have dance classes here, so I decided to check them out, and I really liked it.

DL: What did you do for fall break?ZW: I just hung out with my friends

and got to do some dancing choreogra-phy with my friend. Me and my dance partner danced two times over fall break, because we are going to do an Argentine tango for the dance show. So someone is choreographing it for us, and we started to learn the moves.

DL: When is the dance show?ZW: It’s in the end of the semester.DL: Is the dance show for your ball-

those projects, along with the deans and the schools.”

Pamela Agoyo, director of Amer-ican Indian Student Services, said the state Legislature has “shaved” 10 percent to 15 percent off AISS’s bud-get every year during her eight years as director because AISS is a special-project, or soft-money, program.

She said making ethnic center funding a hard-money item – mean-ing AISS representatives would not have to lobby every year to renew their funding – would alleviate some of their budget issues.

“I’ve experienced a loss of over $100,000 since I’ve been here,” she said. “That’s never going to get re-stored, so it’s very significant. At this point, it’s really just trying to hold on to what we have without having any more shavings, and moving those funds into permanent funding is one

option for securing those funds.”Verónica Méndez-Cruz, director

of El Centro de la Raza, said hard-money funding would make the eth-nic centers less susceptible to the whims of the state Legislature.

“Both areas are going to be hit, both the I & G and the soft money … one is still way more vulnerable, and that’s our soft money,” she said. “Over the years of so much shav-ing, we’re at barely the minimum now. I’m barely able to support my staffing.”

Méndez-Cruz said the ethnic centers, who lobby for funding at the Roundhouse every year, could soon lose their funding entirely.

“With soft money, we’re here today and we could easily be gone tomorrow,” she said. “I feel like it won’t be long before I exhaust my welcome at the state Legislature.”

Scott Carreathers, director of Af-rican American Student Services, said Schmidly’s commitment to the ethnic centers benefits the whole University.

“I think it’s a step in the right di-rection for us, for the University,” Carreathers said. “I think President Schmidly has always shown him-self to be committed to the ethnic centers.”

Agoyo said Schmidly’s commit-ment shows the administration recognizes the value of the ethnic centers.

“It’s some very exciting news for all of the ethnic centers, and I think it’s a confirmation that we’ve been waiting for for a long time, that the administration recognizes how valuable the ethnic centers are to the students that we serve on cam-pus,” she said.

institutions are a priority.“The more that is done now, the

more functional this environment stays throughout the school year, so you don’t get to that point of cancel-ing classes or canceling other activi-ties,” he said. “The more you manage the issue at the front end, the less it spreads to the whole population, and you can maintain the educational en-vironment throughout the year.”

Swift said he agreed, and the clin-ic was successful in combating the flu

for UNM community members.“I think that it’s important for all of

us to make it a top priority — immu-nize as many people as possible,” he said. “We have had a lot of faculty and students that have come through.”

Though the shot clinic is instru-mental in flu prevention, Heinrich said everyday hygiene is crucial to contain the spread of illness.

“Folks should do the basic prepa-ration of washing their hands prop-erly, using the hand sanitizer that is

around the campus (and) making sure to cover their mouths when they cough,” he said.

Silversmith said getting the shot only takes a few minutes, and the staff are all helpful and nice. He said more students should take advantage of the clinic’s service.

“It literally took two minutes,” he said. “I would recommend for other students to do so.”

The shot is available this week to the general public at no cost.

Editor,Coach Locksley is being locked out of

work for 10 days for his attack on a fellow coach, and his paycheck will be docked about $29,000. He is getting away pretty good for an open physical assault.

If a classroom teacher had assaulted a stu-dent as Locksley did, he or she would be gone permanently, and probably would spend some time in the Metro Detention Center. I was thrown into the MDC and assaulted by UNM campus cops three years ago for speaking out at a symposium about nuclear warheads.

Plus, I was banned from campus for two years for being too violent. Compare that to Locksley, who is still around for a far greater crime, and getting paid, too. Also, Locksley keeping his job and losing some money, which is an amount far great-er than many people working in classroom education in New Mexico make in a year, is a far larger crime.

For instance, our Albuquerque Public Schools assistants make less than half what Locksley will lose in 10 days, working hard all year long to help our young people learn and achieve something in life. They provide a much more vital service to society than all the football coaches UNM hires, in my opinion.

Consider also about 60 percent of the pro-fessional faculty in higher education in New Mexico at schools like UNM and CNM and other state colleges and universities. Many hold Ph.D.s while teaching year-round and are paid less in a year than Locksley will lose for a 10-day suspension. Is this not a greater crime?

UNM and the state of New Mexico have made clear what their priorities are. Along with this, when reading statements this weekend by Gov. Richardson that he wants to protect education from budget cuts in the special legislative session in Santa Fe going on now, one has to laugh again.

This is the governor who told us for years he was not running for president while he was and milking the state treasury with lu-crative kickback schemes to finance what was not his run for president.

Gov. Richardson and the Legislature and the regents like to overlook crimes by their friends. But they have set up an instructional structure where entertainers — like coach-es — make millions and can get away with physical assaults while people who work hard and honestly to educate our students and keep our society safe are paid pennies.

This is justice in New Mexico.

Editor, I’m constantly amazed at how the Albu-

querque Journal consistently misses the boat on great news stories. The Journal has all the resources of a metropolitan newspaper, yet it is all too often filled with shallow beat report-ing instead of meaningful, in-depth report-age. In short, the Journal seems to foster com-placency in place of responsible journalism.

Why hasn’t the Journal probed more deeply into the two recent Mike Locksley is-sues? Why let UNM spoon-feed the Jour-nal’s sports section only what UNM chooses to make public? Why hasn’t the University of New Mexico dealt with these two affairs in an unbiased and more responsible man-ner? Coach Locksley’s tenure with UNM has hardly been a positive experience since he

was hired. And why has UNM given the task of investigating the Locksley sexual harass-ment complaint, and the subsequent assault of a UNM assistant coach, to Athletics Direc-tor Paul Krebs, the guy who hired the coach? Talk about the fox being asked to watch the chicken house. Here are some of my ques-tions: 1) How much did it cost UNM to make the harassment charge go away? 2) What will the University pay to keep the former as-sistant coach quiet? In any other business, Locksley (and probably Krebs) would al-ready have been dismissed. Yet, UNM seems to have glossed over these two ugly affairs by asking its athletics director to deal with the matter. Locksley got a slap-on-the-wrist pun-ishment for sexual harassment — UNM sim-ply reassigned the woman who complained. And for the physical assault, Locksley got 10 days’ suspension. What a joke. This is a great news story and the Journal hasn’t yet delved deeply enough into the matter. Where are the “investigative reporters”?

And why has the sports section done all the reporting? Don’t they have a vested inter-est in not ruffling the UNM Athletics Depart-ment’s feathers? Locksley has already shown he is a chauvinistic pig, a bully and, finally, a loser as a coach. Why should UNM keep him or Krebs for his kid-glove handling of these two serious issues? And, why hasn’t the Jour-nal fully reported on this matter? UNM’s stu-dents will most certainly pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars for Locksley’s stupid, unprofessional behavior. And, meanwhile, his football team has already become the laughingstock of the league. I bet there will be a huge cost in future recruiting and finan-cial support because of his historically terri-ble losing streak. The Journal has some seri-ous journalism ahead before its readers will be satisfied. They can and should do much better.

Swine flu is here. It is all over New Mexico, in-cluding here at UNM. Have you had it yet? How about your friends and classmates? How many are out today with the flu? I’ll bet there are at least a few, and there will likely be more next week.

We have seen lots of H1N1 influenza at Stu-dent Health and Counseling. Since Sept. 1, we have had over 100 cases of “influenza-like ill-ness.” Most of these were H1N1. All have recov-ered. And those are just the ones who have come to the clinic. There have been many more cases where people just stay home and take care of themselves.

The virus continues to spread. It is very con-tagious and likes young people. Chances are good that you’ll get it, and chances are excellent that you’ll survive. Here are some tips to help you manage before, during and after you get H1N1.

Before you get sick: Get the regular seasonal flu shot. Make sure you have basic medications at home for fever, cough and congestion. Buy a thermometer, and maybe some soups and juic-es. Once you have the flu you won’t feel like go-ing out to the store for this stuff, and they won’t want you there spreading germs, so stock up. Try to avoid getting the flu by staying away from sick people, keeping your hands away from your face and washing your hands often. Get plenty of

sleep and eat well so your body is strong for the fight against germs.

Once you are sick: Flu symptoms are fe-ver over 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit, cough, body aches, sore throat, headache, chills, fatigue and sometimes diarrhea and vomiting. If you have some or all of these, you might have the flu. Take to your bed. Drink lots of liquids and treat your symptoms. Expect to be out of commission for five to seven days. Please do not go to work or school or out to eat at a restaurant. I know stu-dents who have done all of these things. If you go out in public you are putting others at risk. Be considerate and stay away. Contact your profes-sors by e-mail or phone to let them know you are sick.

Should you get medical care? If you are a ba-sically healthy person who gets the flu, you prob-ably don’t need to see a doctor. Self-treatment at home is usually adequate. If, however, you are pregnant, have asthma or other lung problems, are under 2 years old or over 65, or have chronic medical conditions, you should seek care. There is a medication called Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) that is recommended for people in these high-risk groups to decrease the risk of flu complications like pneumonia.

If you are not in these risk groups, there is a small chance that you could still get serious-ly ill from the flu. We have all heard the stories of people who died from H1N1 who had no

underlying medical problems. Those stories are scary, but thankfully they’re also rare. It is un-likely to be you. That said, if you do get any of the following symptoms, regardless of who you are, please hustle in to the nearest emergency room:

severe difficulty breathing; severe pain in the chest or belly; sudden dizziness or confusion; or severe or persistent vomiting.

After you recover: First of all, this takes a while. As I said before, expect to be out of com-mission for five to seven days. That means at home, resting. Even after the worst of the symp-toms have passed, you’ll be weak and easily tired for several days. Take it easy. Don’t return to sports until you feel really well.

Once you are well, step outside and take a deep breath of our crisp fall air. Stretch your strong body, look up at our blue New Mexico sky and give yourself the gift of gratitude for your life and good health.

Brother Ali wants to hear what’s on your mind. His new album, Us, looks into social themes, such as racism, homophobia and im-migration. Brother Ali is on the Fresh Air Tour with Evidence, To-ki-Wright and BK-ONE and will perform in Albuquerque at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Sunshine Theater. Ali said his latest album was made in an “organic” way and isn’t being mass-promoted.

Ali worked with beat-maker Anthony Davis, aka Ant, on this and previous albums beginning in 2000.

Daily Lobo: Your new album, Us, dropped a little while ago. How has that been going?

Brother Ali: So far it’s been re-ally phenomenal. We didn’t do a huge marketing campaign, and we haven’t had videos yet. We’ve been doing a lot of face-to-face stuff on the Internet. It’s kind of a different approach to release an album for us. So it’s a little scary, you know, to say, “Is it going to catch on the way we want it to?”

DL: It seems like each album you come out with gets more and more fan support. You avoided the sophomore/junior slump; how is that for your work?

BA: Yeah, definitely. Probably every other musician you ever talk to thinks their new stuff is better, and I’m not a gassed-up-ego kind of person, but I really feel good about the way me and my partner Anthony are creating. The way that we’re making music and the way that we’re writing it is in new areas where we can kind of open up into ourselves. I feel really good about it, and it seems like that’s been the initial response, and it hasn’t even been out a week yet.

DL: Have you always worked with Ant as your producer?

BA: Yeah, for all of my profes-sional career. Prior to that, I did all my own production. Since I’ve been releasing albums, I’ve been with Ant. He’s my best friend, so the kind of really personal, power-ful friendship that we have really transfers and translates really well to the music that we create. The conversations we have as friends really show up in the music that we make. The way that we create and the way that we express our-selves is because of the friendship that we have.

DL: Who do you have as guest appearances on the album, and how did you choose them?

BA: Well, I’m branching out on this album and starting to talk a lot more about common social things. I asked Chuck D if he would do the intro, and he did it and really gave me a really strong endorse-ment on that intro, and he did it without hearing the album. I was like, “Don’t you want to hear what I’m saying first, because I’m talk-ing slavery, racism, homophobia

and immigration. Don’t you want to hear what I’m saying before you endorse me?” And he said, “No, I know you’re a loving, talented per-son, so I’ll just give you my full en-dorsement.” I had one song on the album that just really celebrated the art of MCing. It’s called “Fast at it,” and it’s just a five-minute-long rap song with no break, no chords, no nothing. And I got my two favorite rappers, that when I just hear them do the act of rap-ping, they inspire me. When I hear them, I’m like, “Oh, I have to go write a song, or I have to go write a freestyle and write a song.”

On those tracks were Joell Ortiz and Freeway, my two most inspi-rational people, so I reached out to the both of them and they both said, “Yeah.” It was all really natu-ral. I didn’t have any kind of agen-da or strategy, like, “Who should I put on this album to sell more copies?” I used people that mean something to me.

DL: How did you come up with the title for this album?

BA: The albums I made prior to this are really more biographical and are more about me. This was the first one where I really opened up the lens, kind of, and start-ed to talk about people that I’ve known from different walks of life. They’ve kind of built me as a per-son, and (I was) just wanting those voices and the stories to be heard. It’s about the collective, and it’s about everybody.

DL: What are you enjoying most about touring?

BA: The way people are re-sponding and the kind of conver-sations I have with people after-wards have been great. The way that I approached making my mu-sic for albums, I do the same thing live. I bring people with me that inspire me, and we present it as a collective package. There’s never a break in between sets. It’s not like you hear one of us play for an hour and then you listen to the CD for a half hour. We present it all together, and it’s really power-ful — that builds momentum, and there’s a lot of energy. We have a

theme song that we all did togeth-er: Because it’s called “The Fresh Air Tour,” the song is called “The Freshest Kids.” It really feels like being in a group.

Deadline Extension!

Combine one part slasher-flick-style plot and suspense, another part probing meta commentary on violence in modern society, add some nonsensical humor and a dash of nudity, and voilà, “The Scare Game” is served.

“The Scare Game,” writ-ten and directed by Phillip Hughes, is a new Web series in the same vein as popular series like “The Guild” and “The Leg-end of Neil.” Each episode of “The Scare Game” runs about eight minutes.

Hughes said he was inspired to begin the series by an image that haunted him.

“I had this vision of this masked killer, hiding underneath a bed, being stalked by this cute, young girl,” said Hughes. “I really like horror, and I like the slasher genre, but I think it gets tedious at times. It evolved from there.”

Brian Wenrich, a producer for “The Scare Game,” said produc-ing a Web series is the best way to reach a wide audience when re-sources are scarce.

“The nice thing about the In-ternet is you have a distribution

medium,” he said. “For the little guy out there trying to get out your work, it was really difficult. Now we have the Internet. You can send out your work to the audience. Then you have to try to figure out who is going to care and who is go-ing to watch it.”

Hughes said the Web series makes it easier to change perspec-tives at the beginning of each ep-isode, so that the audience gets a better sense of the story.

“It was originally a feature-length screenplay,” Hughes said. “The subject matter was a lot dark-er, but it was a lot more absurd as well. It finally got to this point with the venue of doing a Web series.… It worked out where we could do more with the characters and make them fun and interesting but also keep them grounded.”

In addition to local produc-tion in Albuquerque, the series also boasts high-quality cinemat-ic effects, such as crisp graphics, smooth editing cuts and believ-able acting, not usually found in a Web series, Hughes said.

“If we were going to do this, we were going to make it look sharp,” he said. “It won’t be film, but we’ll still have a sharp image, we’ll still make it look good and cinemat-ic. I’d rather take more time and

on YouTube, and likely has more hits on the game’s Web site, Wen-rich said. The first episode also received favorable reviews from horror-fan Web sites, such as Hell-notes and Horror Crypt. Wenrich said it’s a thrill to see the video gar-ner support so early, but the real

thrill comes from filming locally. “We did it together, as friends,”

Wenrich said. “We didn’t need to go to some people outside. We were able to do everything just us, just friends, just New Mexicans. That’s really where the excitement comes from now.”

have a longer release schedule to make something look good.”

“The Scare Game” focuses on a group of horror enthusiasts who play out scenarios from hor-ror films. For example, in the first episode, a group reenacts the cli-chéd horror idea of a killer hiding somewhere in the house. Hughes said the goal was to critique vio-lence in modern culture.

“There’s something really vis-ceral about the slasher genre,” Hughes said. “We like it and laugh, because it’s over the top, but we live in a day and age where peo-ple flip out and kill a lot of folks all the time. It really does happen. That’s something real and scary about human nature.”

The first of 13 scheduled epi-sodes was released Oct. 15. View-ers can watch edited versions of the videos on YouTube.com, or they can watch unedited versions on the group’s Web site, TheS-careGame.com.
