On Jan. 21, a UNMPD officer responded to a report of damage to a vehicle at Lobo Village, a police report states. A security guard at Lobo Village told police he was in the process of breaking up a party when he saw a male urinating off the third floor. When the security guard approached the man, he ran away, the report states. During the subsequent chase through the parking lot, the security guard told police the

On Feb. 11, a UNMPD officer arrived at Lobo Village to find an intoxicated male tagging a building, a police report states. According to the report, the man was unable to remember his friend’s apartment number and was escorted off the property. Thirty minutes later, the man returned and was attempting to scale the fence of the complex, according
to the report. Police told him to leave. A while later, the man was back inside the complex. He was finally arrested for trespassing and given a citation, the police report said.
On Feb. 13, a UNM student report-ed to police that her iPhone 3GS was stolen from her apartment at Lobo Village, a police report states. She left her apartment unlocked and some-one entered the apartment and stole her phone, she told police. The student stated her roommates and their boy-friends are the only people with access to her dorm room.
ASUNM hosted a legislation-writing workshop to help students put their concerns into bills and resolutions that will shape the future of the University.
ASUNM Sen. Caroline Muraida said the workshop on Thursday offered students the skills to change UNM. Stu-dents spoke with ASUNM legislators about the legislative process, the dif-ference between resolutions and bills, and the ways they are used.
“We’re trying to help (students)
navigate the infrastructure of the Uni-versity with the tools that we’ve been given as senators,” Muraida said.
ASUNM Sen. Brandon Meyers said he hoped the workshop will let students know how much of an im-pact they can have on their campus. He said students should be able to put their ideas into force regardless of their experience and knowledge of legisla-tion and bills.
“If I can effectively reach one stu-dent with this and have one person learn the process more … I’ve done my job,” Meyers said.

Lawmakers in Santa Fe, who de-pend on tax revenue produced by nat-ural gas sales, are concerned about the recent drop in prices.
The Natural Gas Processors Tax, together with taxes on oil production, provides millions of dollars in revenue each year, making the price of those commodities a major concern.
Predictions for the upcoming fiscal year were drafted in December, when gas was priced at $5.60 per million British thermal units. This would have generated an estimated $250 million in added revenues from last year, but the price has since fallen to $2.49 per mil-lion units, as of Feb. 8.
Gary Murray, manager of supply and system planning for the New Mex-ico Gas Company, said the low rates of the past two months have been caused by a gas surplus and an un-usually mild winter.
“Gas is bought and sold on a na-tional market and the price is deter-mined based on supply and demand,” Murray said. “Weather can have an ef-fect on demand, and therefore price. We’ve had a moderate winter nation-ally without any huge storms or supply
disruptions. All of that is figured into the supply picture.”
According to Murray and NMGC spokeswoman Monica Hussey, the price of natural gas is unpredictable. The current price is lower than it was February last year by nearly 25 percent.
Sen. John Arthur Smith (D-Deming), chairman of the Legislative Finance Committee, said the unpredictably of fuel prices can make estimations for the future tentative.
Smith said the recent fluctuations merit some attention as legislators dis-cuss new financial policies. However, a recent report by a consensus group composed of economists from vari-ous executive departments and leg-islative committees draws a differ-ent conclusion.
In January, Thomas Clifford, New Mexico finance and administration secretary-designate, reported the group’s findings — chiefly, that no new estimate was needed to prepare a budget.
“The group concluded that no change in the General Fund forecast is warranted at this time,” Clifford’s re-port reads.
The economists concluded that be-cause the price of oil had risen as the
price of natural gas dropped, the pre-dicted revenue would not be greatly af-fected. In fact, according to the report, “the level of oil prices is now more im-portant to the General Fund than is the level of natural gas prices.”
The consensus group also states that the unusually low prices will affect an increase in demand, which will cor-rect the price.
Smith said not readjusting predic-tions could be dangerous.
“It’s not that I don’t believe (Clif-ford), because he’s very competent,” he said. “But I do watch the commodi-ty market, and I’ve watched natural gas closely because of its ability to either make or break you overnight.”
Smith said that in a worst-case scenario, the state could be $150 to $200 million short of the origi-nal prediction.
“When they talk about 250 mil-lion new dollars, I’m a little appre-hensive that it could be consumed by miscalculation on natural gas alone,” Smith said.
“I said (to Clifford), ‘You and I both know that, when it comes to natural gas, we’re both somewhat guessing and we hope we’re right,’” Smith said. “And he just laughed. He said, ‘You got it there.’”
Drop in gas price a concern
based on fact. She said undocument-ed immigrants do pay taxes when they shop, for instance, and that de-porting thousands of workers would hurt the economy.
“I think that this issue, quite frank-ly, my sense of it is that this is a diver-sion tactic to get away from the real is-sues that we should have been talking about and debating the day we arrived here,” she said. “They’re concerned about employment and they need leg-islation that creates jobs. That’s what we need to do rather than fighting about a license and who gets it.”
Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino (D, Albu-querque) said legislators heard several requests from state companies for tax breaks. Cisneros said legislators grant-ed $41 million in tax relief measures.
Each company said they would have no choice but to leave the state if their requests weren’t granted, Ortiz y Pino said he can’t think of one that wasn’t granted. The tax breaks were not figured into the budget, and he said a task force has never been created to explore their claims that they are vital to the state economy.
“I think any business in the state
that hasn’t been (asking for tax breaks) ought to have their heads examined, because that’s apparently the way to get everything you want from us is to blackmail us,” he said. “This is all fu-ture revenue. We didn’t even realisti-cally take it into account in the budget this year.”
The General Obligation Bond Proj-ects (SB 66) passed, which puts $139.3 million into various projects statewide. For UNM specifically, $3 million will go toward Castetter Hall.

Dear readers,
Student Fee Review Board deliberations are done, and, once again, we have been hosed.
I am sure you remember our coverage of ASUNM’s president Jaymie Roybal’s bike-share program. In case you don’t, here’s the short and simple of it: The program would provide 47 bikes at the cost of $300,000.
Some quick calculations reveal the total cost of each bike is right around $6,382. Keep in mind these 47 bikes would hypothetically serve about 23,000 students on campus.
Thus, each bike would, hypothetically, serve about 490 students.
Granted, only $50,000 of that money came from student fees, but didn’t GPSA Chief of Staff Japji Hundal state, “We have to be judicious in every dollar we spend, regardless of how much an organization requested. Just because they requested a small amount doesn’t mean we should au-tomatically fund them”?
I agree with Hundal. Just because $50,000 isn’t a lot for students to bear doesn’t mean that we should have to. It also doesn’t matter
that the funding is conditional. If it isn’t serving the students’ best interest now, or later, we shouldn’t have to pay for it.
Let me qualify my criticisms and say I don’t know all the details of the bike-share program, but neither does half the student body.
If this program is going to work, there should be more research, and ASUNM should share that research with all its constituents.
Moreover, readers, the group that has the most potential to do the most good for the campus, in my humble opinion, received a pathetic amount of funding.
Information Technologies provides you with a printing allowance, campuswide wireless Internet, and the software you use on campus. Last semester, IT gave us Mat-Lab for free. This program normally costs about $100 for the student version. IT re-quested $128.34 per student, and, instead, it got $16.39 per student.
GPSA President Katie Richardson argued the administration should pay for some of what IT requires, and that students shouldn’t have to foot the bill. And she may be right,
so let’s run a quick experiment. One of the programs IT won’t be able
to provide now, Adobe Photoshop, runs about $188 (Academic Superstore) for the student version. According to Moira Gerety, the deputy chief information officer for IT, the requested student fees of $128.34 per student would have allowed for streaming of Adobe and Microsoft programs.
I would have preferred to pay $128.34 and then get Word, Photoshop, Excel, InDe-sign, Premiere, and Powerpoint rather than paying an additional $60 for just Photoshop, but that’s just me. However, I am now foot-ing the cost for programs that my professors expect me to have and use, so, thanks?
That said, this doesn’t just affect jour-nalism and English majors, such as my-self. How about the photography program, or media arts, or advertising, or business? And what about the advance stats software for which students in the hard sciences will have to foot the bill?
And it seems to be pure madness to me that we are entering the technology age, as our professors love to remind us, yet most
classrooms have few outlets. Unless students go to class armed with surge protectors, which I have considered, the four or six outlets are quickly used and everyone else with a computer is screwed.
For reasons such as these, IT would have made it a point to get more outlets around campus.
So I might have been preemptive to say we were hosed. I guess that’s for you to de-cide, but something certainly seems wrong when technology isn’t given the funding it needs and funding is given to a program that hasn’t been proven useful to students.

The men’s basketball team has one bone left to pick, and it will be on national television.
The Lobos upset No. 13 San Di-ego State 77-67 on Wednesday to take sole possession of first place in the MWC.
UNM (21-4, 7-2 MWC) will try to avenge on Saturday its only oth-er conference loss, against No. 11 UNLV, and distance itself from the pack in the MWC.
“We still have a lot of work to do,” sophomore guard Kendall Wil-liams said. “(San Diego State) was a very big road win, but now we have to come and protect home against a team that really kind of worked us out at their place.”
A month ago, the Runnin’ Reb-els made the most of Lobo missed shots and turnovers, winning 80-63 in Las Vegas.
UNLV (22-5, 6-3 MWC) domi-nated fast break points 26-0 and shot 51.7 percent from the field that game — the highest shooting percentage allowed by UNM all season.
“UNLV embarrassed us,” fresh-man guard Hugh Greenwood said. “We got blown out at their place, so we’re looking forward to The Pit rockin’ this weekend.”
Since their last loss at the hands of UNLV, the Lobos have reeled off six straight wins — all by double-dig-it margins.
Men’s basketball head coach Steve Alford said depth is what’s separating
UNLV rematch chance for winmen’s basketball
his team from the competition.“Our bench has been key all year
and it’s going to continue to be a big key,” Alford said.
Against the Rebels, the Lobo bench was outscored 28-9.
Since then, UNM’s bench has dominated, outscoring opponents 171-74 in the last six games.
Senior forward Drew Gordon said Saturday’s sold-out, nationally tele-vised game is a step closer to a league title — something he’s never accom-plished in his college career.
“I know (the seniors) are going to be hungry for a win,” Gordon said. “And I know our young guys really want a conference championship.”
The Lobos are facing a slumping UNLV team.
The Rebels have lost two of their last three games, falling to Wyoming and TCU on the road.
UNM now looks to vindicate its first-place spot in the conference standings against second-place UNLV.
“Everybody’s been talking about UNLV and San Diego State,” Gordon said. “We’ve been right there with them the whole time and kind of been overlooked.”
The resurgent Lobos have qui-etly catapulted to first place, and are on pace to match the success of the 2009-10 Lobo team, which finished 30-5.
That Lobo team was nationally ranked for a large part of the season. The Aztecs and Rebels have over-shadowed the Lobos this season.
“We’ve just been slowly going
about our business and then here we are on top of the Mountain West Conference,” Greenwood said.
Back-to-back wins against ranked opponents would most likely earn UNM basketball a spot in the top 25.
“We’re excited about the re-match,” Alford said. “(UNLV’s) an outstanding basketball team. (It is) another ranked team coming into our building.”

The Lobos will attempt to take down an entire wolf pack in a three-game dog-fight this weekend at Isotopes Park.
The Lobos are set to face off against the Nevada Wolfpack, and sophomore first-baseman DJ Peterson said the Wolfpack is not to be taken likely.
“We’re going to approach Nevada like they’re the No. 1 team in the coun-try,” he said. “We’re going to come right at them like anybody else.”
Head coach Ray Birmingham said Nevada is the first of many tough teams that the Lobos will face this season.
“They’re good,” he said. “Everyone on our schedule the last two years is good. We have one of the toughest schedules in the country this year.”
Junior pitcher Austin House, who will be getting the first start of the season on Friday, said he is not concerned about Nevada, but rather his team.
“I’m more focused on us and what we’re doing,” he said. “There is

nothing really special about them, that I know of.”
Despite winning the MWC tournament last year, the Lobos were picked to finish third in the conference in the Mountain West Preseason Poll, and second by Baseball America. Birmingham said he was not pleased by the polls.
“It angers me,” he said. “I am on a mission. I’m here to prove that New Mexico is as good as anybody.”
TCU was picked by both polls to win the conference this year. Peterson said he has a different opinion on who is going to come out on top at the end of the year.
“I think we’re going to win it re-gardless of the votes,” he said. “No matter what anyone says, I think we’re going to take it from TCU this year.”
Peterson said there is no pressure on him to perform well this weekend, despite being picked as a preseason All-American, because he is being supported by good teammates.
“I think our whole team is pretty solid,” he said. “We have a lot of guys hitting behind me very well and I’m
just ready to start the season.”The Wolfpack is tied with NMSU to
finish fourth in the Western Athletic Conference preseason poll. The team has one player, pitcher Tom Jameson, who was picked to the preseason All-WAC team. It has eight seniors return-ing from last year’s 24-31 team.
The Lobos have two players, Pe-terson and short stop Alex Allbritton, who were selected to the MWC pre-season all-conference team.
House will be starting on the mound for the first time in a season home-opener in his Lobo career, and said he is looking forward to playing in front of his family.
“It will be good to open up a series here at home so my family can watch,” he said. “I feel confident and I’m just going to give it the best I can.”
