President David Schmidly’s � ve-year career at UNM will come to an end in July when President-select Robert Frank takes o� ce.
A retirement reception was held in Schmidly’s honor on the lawn of the University House � ursday af-ternoon. Schmidly said he plans to return to UNM during the fall of 2013 as a faculty member in the bi-ology department.
“What I’m really excited about is getting back with the students,” he said. “I like to teach. I like to be around people, so I consider myself very fortunate that I get to end my career this way,” he said.
Looking back on his time as president, Schmidly said he feels his time at UNM has been productive.
“I think we’ve gotten a lot done. � ere have been a lot of challenges, particularly � nancial, but I feel good about it,” Schmidly said.
While many higher education in-stitutions, such as the University of California school system, have had to increase tuition rates by nearly 20 percent over the last � ve years, UNM has kept tuition increases at about 1 percent above the rate of in� ation, according to a report by the president’s o� ce outlining ma-jor achievements from the past � ve

As his � ve-year term comes to an end, Schmidly said he has tried to make student success a prior-ity.

graduation rates are similar to Napoleon’s march from Paris to Moscow in 1812,” he said. “It started out with 400,000 soldiers but ended with only 10,000 soldiers.”
According to the Enrollment Data Report, 74 percent of freshmen from fall 2010 returned in fall 2011, 5 percent fewer than 2008, and only 45 percent of students who first en-rolled in 2005 graduated in 2011.
Heileman said courses with high failure rates should be restructured to better suit student needs. He said the Provost Committee of Academic Success, a committee established last semester to improve student success and advising practices on campus, will develop a math
emporium for Math 120 that will allow students to choose the pace of the course.
“Students will have scheduled hours that they have to be in the emporium,” he said. “They can set their own pace but the system won’t let you move forward with-out knowing a concept.”
Heileman said the committee initiated a pilot project in fall 2011 that trains advisers through UNM’s Mentoring Institute, so that advisers are not only capable of helping stu-dents choose classes, but also give advice on things like study strategies and career options.
“We’re looking at freshmen that haven’t registered for next semester,
freshmen on (academic) probation and other early warnings associat-ed with classroom performance and trying to improve their experiences on campus,” he said. “We want to extend training to alumni, retirees and students as well.”
During the meeting, ASUNM Sen. Anthony Santistevan said the proposed 3 percent increase in tu-ition would affect the affordability of education and influence student retention. Santistevan asked Heile-man what measures the adminis-tration is taking to curtail the rising costs of attending UNM.
He referenced the Enrollment Data Report, which states tuition and education cost as the main
reason students don’t return for a third semester.
Heileman said the committee is working with the bursar’s office to offer payment plans for students who are indebted to the Univer-sity. He said payment plans would allow students to continue their education.
“Bursar holds impede student registration and discourage students from continuing their education be-cause they can’t afford to pay the thousands of dollars on their bill,” he said. “We want to allow students to make small payments against the debt they owe without it affecting their education and without accu-mulating additional debt.”
Heileman said UNM already of-fers assistance to students who want to return to the University. He said the Graduation Project offers ad-missions assistance, priority enroll-ment and tuition assistance through the Regents’ Tuition Assistance Pro-gram and Graduation Express, and offers distance education and child care services to increase student graduation rates.
“The vision is to positively im-pact the ability for students to excel academically,” he said. “The com-mittee addresses the disconnect in UNM policy related to advisement effectiveness and how these servic-es are actually delivered.”

UNM PD Annual Bicycle AuctionThe UNM Police Department would like to extend an invitation to the University Community. We will be having our annual bicycle auction
on Thursday, April 19th, from 10 AM to 2PM at the Sustainability Expo east of the SUB. The bicycles we have are unclaimed, unregistered
bicycles from the UNM campus. If you think we may have your bicycle, please call 277-0081 to make sure that we will not be auctioning off a
bike that may belong to you.
We also have several musical instruments, a number of calculators and iClickers and a few Lobo items up for auction.
For the third year in a row, University of New Mexico Hospitals (UNMH) has been named one of the best companies for hourly workers, according to “Working Mother,” a national magazine dedicated to mothers who work.
Juana Maria Velasco, mother of four, is an hourly worker from the UNMH housekeeping depart-ment. She has worked at UNMH for almost three years and said being a UNMH employee has giv-en her more free time to do things she really enjoys.
“Having a system of flexible working hours is very important for me and my family,” Velasco said. “My job schedule lets me stay more time in my home and spend more time with my kids.”
The award is the only national initiative that identifies compa-nies who provide family-friendly benefits, such as continuing edu-cation, medical services and flex-ible work schedules.
In order to be eligible for this recognition, companies must employ a minimum of 500 employees, and half must be hourly workers. UNMH internal communications manager Lyn Kehoe said companies are rated on flexibility of hours, medical service availability and other

interested in seeing how students have changed in regard to learning styles.
Before he returns to the class-room, he said he will continue his research in zoology. He plans on continuing his extensive study of mammals in the Southwest and Mexico, particularly deer mice.
One honor that Schmidly is fond of is having a species of deer mice, Peromyscus schmidlyi, named after him by a former student.
David J. Schmidly was selected as the 20th president of the University of New Mexico on Oct. 7, 2007. Prior to taking office at UNM, Schmidly served as the system CEO and president of at Oklahoma State University from 2002-2007. Schmidly has also served as president of Texas Tech University, and spent 25 years in various positions at Texas A&M, according to the president’s website.

benefits. At UNMH, 90 percent of the hourly employees work 40 hours per week and 84 percent of UNMH’s nearly 6,000 employees are hourly workers, Kehoe said.
“Working Mother” only rec-ognizes 12 companies across the country with this award. Other companies acknowledged by the magazine for exceptional flexibil-ity and benefits for parents earli-er this month included Best Buy, Marriott and Target.
Kehoe said other benefits for UNMH hourly employees include financial services, life and health insurances, annual paid leaves, parents’ guidance, retirement plans, internal training courses and educational reimbursement for college credits.
“Toward employees’ educa-tion, UNMH pays employees what UNM charges even if you don’t want to go to UNM,” she said. “If you want to be a foreign culture major and it has nothing to do with your job here, it still will be paid because you can get any de-gree that you want.”
Kehoe said that UNMH hourly workers deserve all these benefits because the jobs they do help the Albuquerque community at large.
“These people (UNMH hour-ly workers) are helping our com-munity every single day with their regular job,” Kehoe said. “That is why UNMH does a good job on making opportunities available for the employees.”

Although the award was given by “Working Mother,” Kehoe said the benefits UNMH offers apply to both female and male workers.
“We do not make any distinc-tion,” Kehoe said. “A father, for example, can take a family leave when a child is born.”
While most companies require employees to work 40 hours a week to receive benefits, Kehoe said UNMH hourly workers are only required to work 20.
Kehoe said UNMH has created an environment that compensates employees well through benefits packages regardless of the hours they work.
“There are so many hourly workers at UNMH, so it is really sort of the culture to make sure that everybody is getting bene-fits,” she said.

Readers,
We have a new student body president now, but it should be known that Jaymie Roybal, lame duck, quietly denied under-grads a chance to vote on their student fees.
Here’s how it happened:The ASUNM Senate voted on a bill to
introduce a constitutional amendment, which students must approve by vote, that would increase ASUNM student fees from $20 to $25. The vote passed 16-1-1. That’s a super majority, and for those who may not know, a super majority is a big deal.
If the ASUNM president plans to veto a bill, she has to do it within six school days, and here’s where it gets tricky, so hang with me.
According to Elections Director Claire Mize, the deadline for the amendment to be included on Wednesday’s ballot was March 26th. The bill passed on a Wednes-day night, March 7. The clock starts tick-ing on March 8. Roybal would have six school days to veto it, according to the constitution.
So let’s do some math. March 8 and 9 make two days. And then the whole of spring break isn’t counted as an official school day. So the clock starts back up again on March 19, which means she had to make a decision by March 22, a Thursday.
Senators have up to six days to call an emergency meeting, but they must issue
a 24-hour warning, and must assemble a third of senators to call for this meeting. Assuming they found out on Friday, March 23, the bill had been vetoed, they needed to call an emergency meeting during the weekend, and then override the veto by Monday, March 26, the deadline for items to be registered on the ballot.
The ploy, politically, was perfect. Every-thing met legal standards, and no one could raise a complaint about the illegality of the situation. It wasn’t illegal. It was morally cor-rupt, but morality can’t be legislated, can it? No senators proposed an emergency meet-ing. There wasn’t enough time.
So instead of letting students vote if they wanted a fee increase or not — an increase entirely dependent on the undergrad vote — Roybal denied that right.
Why? As she stated in Wednesday’s pa-per, in the article “Roybal vetoes ASUNM student fee increase bill,” she didn’t be-lieve raising the ASUNM fee was in the best interest of the student body.
But I have to raise a concern that Roybal probably didn’t consider. I believe the student body, which elected Roybal, might want a say in what’s in the best interest of the student body.
If the student body wanted fees to re-main the same, they would have voted down the bill. If the student body wanted the fees increased, they would have voted for the increase. They should have gotten the chance to vote on it.
Because Roybal thought she knew what students wanted, she shut down the bill, rendering the opinions of the students — and the senators who passed the bill — worthless.
One person shut down the voices and votes of more than 20,000 undergraduate students.
Let’s summarize the Roybal regime, shall we?
Her presidency was already marred by the time of her election after students found out that she was dating then ASUNM President Laz Cardenas at the time she was running for office. Cardenas fired his chief of staff, Michael Thorning, after he discov-ered Thorning was running for president against Roybal, because he put his “trust in (Thorning), and there was no trust re-turned back.”
Roybal stated she wanted to keep tu-ition low, but proposed and pushed for costly programs such as the new recreation center and the bike share program.
She didn’t have an opinion on the press-ing issue of using of student fees to pay off old University debts. And now we have this blatant attack on students’ right to vote.
Caroline Muraida, please ensure you never disrespect your constituents in the same way Roybal has.

It seems some days I can’t log on without finding something in my feed about clicking the “like button” if I think starving children are bad or to share a link if I’m “weird and don’t care if anybody knows.” Listen, linkers, if I am weird and don’t care if anybody knows, I’m going to be doing weird stuff, and my opinion on starving children, breast cancer and ‘80s hair metal are givens. I don’t need to reaffirm that these are bad things by clicking the like button.
I know starving children is bad thing and I dislike the idea that the entire In-ternet might just exist to explain hu-manity to itself, over and over again. In the modern era, chain letters get passed around more easily if only because you no lon-ger have to copy the letter manually and then mail it off at your own expense to six or seven people.
This also means that the electronic social network type of viral picture or chain letter doesn’t need to come with threats such as “if you don’t re-send this, you will have bad luck!” In the spirit of fun, I think I’ll demonstrate how an old fashioned mailbox chain letter looked, fresh out of your mailbox (these still surface in emails occasionally):
Dear Sir and/or Madam, This is a very important letter of utmost impor-tance — do not crumple or throw away! Ms. Jane Doe Kurrkopolis of Kirksville, Iowa threw away this letter and ended up being chased by mad IRS agents. Mr. Robert Skullcrusher of Texas mashed his thumb after throwing away this letter. And Mrs. Natty Leatherstocking of Cooper, N.Y. ended up on Slazalk IV without a translator after she threw away this letter. Instead, kind sir and/or madam, consider Mr. Defilade, who, after copying this letter FIF-TEEN times and sending it to FIFTEEN friends, ended up with three hundred signed copies of a rare signed copy of To Kill a Mockingbird (how-ever, the sudden appearance of said copies drove down their market value considerably). And consider Ms. Gale Auspicious who won the Kentucky Derby after she mailed TWEN-TY copies to her friends and/or relatives. And then there was Mr. Huston Shilling, who, after mailing TWO HUNDRED copies to his friends, was able to go to a college where the ad-ministration gave money to the school’s library services instead of the Athletics Department. If you too wish to be as lucky as Defilade, Auspicious and Shilling, then mail THREE HUNDRED copies to people in the phone book. If you do, you shall be rewarded! Sincerely, a friend and/or relative possibly Aunt Gertrude who always falls for these things since she was always far too trusting, possibly with an attached note that says, “Please mail it out soon so you don’t get lost in space and time!”
Thank goodness these things are a thing of the past. But the new forms of them are the same as the old ones. They are silly insubstan-tial things. Only now, they are so easy to send along that everybody does it without thinking. I suppose what I want to say here is that you should think what sharing “Re-blog this if you admit you are weird and don’t care” says about you to everybody who is going to see. Somehow I don’t think it will say to them that “You are weird.” If you agree, re-blog this seven hundred, twen-ty-two million billion trillion times and send a copy to everybody you know via fax, e-mail and semaphore or I shall curse you with incompe-tent politicians in the voting booth this year.

The football team will play on artificial turf next season.
University Stadium field has been grass since 1958, when it was built, but will have artificial turf installed for the beginning of next season. This will cost UNM about $1 million, said Greg Archuleta, UNM Athletics media representative.
The money comes from a $1.38 million expenditure that was approved by the UNM Board of Regents April 5.
Head football coach Bob Davie said he is unsure whether the turf will give his team any sort of gain next year.
“We’re just trying to make a first down right now,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if we play in quicksand or if we play on concrete. We’re not even in the stage yet to worry about ad-vantages or disadvantages.”
Only two teams in the MWC are from schools with grass fields for this upcoming season, and nearly every game on UNM’s 2012 sched-ule will be played on artificial turf, including its six home games.
The team has both artificial turf and grass practice fields, and Davie said the team can prepare on both surfaces, depending on where its next game is.
The turf takes about 12 weeks to install and UNM Athletics Director Paul Krebs said the field can be used for high school games as well, be-cause it causes no wear and tear like a game on grass would.
Regents approve $1.38 million field
football
Davie said there isn’t an advan-tage to playing on artificial turf, but his players seem to disagree.
Junior linebacker Dallas Bollema said the team will definitely enjoy playing on turf more.
“I feel a little faster on turf,” he said. “When we play away on other turf fields, we will be ready. It gives us an edge a little bit because it’s our home-field advantage and we will be used to it more over our opponents.”
Senior tight end Lucas Reed said he was excited about the change of surface when he found out last week. He said having both grass and artificial turf practice fields puts the team at an advantage.
“We have our indoor facility here, and that’s turf. We some-times practice on that and we can gain an advantage using it,” he said. “Sometimes grass can be a little unpredictable and unreliable when there is weather, so this will help us, I think.”
In 2010, the NFL’s Injury and Safety Panel did a study that showed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries happened 88 per-cent more often when football was played on turf.
Reed said if you are prepared to play on turf, though, there shouldn’t be any more chance of injury than playing on grass.
“You do have a little bit more grip,” he said. “As long as you are cautious when you are running and you have your ankles taped and you are prepared for everything, you should be OK.”

Despite keeping the Sun Devils from rounding the bas-es for six innings, the baseball team still lost to Arizona State University 3-1 at Isotopes Park on Tuesday.
Lobo pitcher Sam Wolff pitched a shutout until the ASU second baseman smacked the ball deep into left field for a two-run homer in the sixth inning.
Even though Wolff got the loss, bringing his record to 0-2, he pitched his best game of the season. He struck out five bat-ters and allowed four hits.
“My mindset was different going into tonight,” Wolff said. “I felt a little more confident out there and I was able to throw my stuff for strikes.”
Head coach Ray Birmingham said he has seen a lot of improvement in Wolff.
“Wolff was outstanding,” Birmingham said. “He’s figured it out. We made a couple of adjustments while we were at Air Force.”
Pitcher Will Mathis came in to relieve Wolff in the seventh inning. He struck out six batters, allowed three hits and gave up one more run.
“Will Mathis did a great job,” Birmingham said. “I think our pitching staff is coming together, which is en-couraging because that’s what we have to have to get, to get

to our third regional in a row.”The Lobos weren’t the only
ones throwing strikes. ASU pitch-er Alex Blackford struck out five Lobos, allowed only three hits and gave up only one run.
The game was scoreless until the fifth inning. Mitchell Garver hit a triple and three batters. Lat-er, short stop Alex Allbritton bat-ted him in with a sacrifice fly to left field.
In the ninth inning, ASU left fielder James McDonald scored when he stole home after a wild pitch by Mathis, bringing the score to 3-1. ASU pitcher Jake Barrett ended any hopes of a comeback by striking out three Lobos, sealing the victory for the Sun Devils.
The Lobos went error-less. “Blackford did a good job
keeping us off balance,” UNM catcher Mitchell Garver said. “On the other side, Sam Wolff did an excellent job, too. I’d say it was a very even game. It was well pitched.”
The Lobos are 0-5 in games played on Tuesday this season. Despite losing a close game to the Sun Devils, the players kept their heads up after the loss.
“We haven’t been too hot on midweeks, but I think we showed a lot of heart,” Garver said. “The way that we played is encourag-ing as we enter conference play.”
Despite the team’s losing record (15-17), Birmingham said the team could earn na-tional recognition.
“UNM and ASU are very comparable now,” Birmingham said. “That’s what I came here to do. Now ASU wants to play us on a regular basis. The University of New Mexico has moved into a higher echelon and we can com-pete with anybody.”
