� e UNM student group Conser-vative Republicans hosted a forum � ursday for only the most bona � de, through and through Republi-can primary candidates.
Unlike the College Republi-cans, who generally support any Republican candidates, the Con-servative Republicans only support candidates whom they deem un-equivocally conservative, said Don-ald Gluck, president of UNM Con-servative Republicans.
“We advocate for conservative principles as stated in the Declara-tion of Independence, as codi� ed in the Constitution and as practiced by Ronald Reagan,” Gluck said in an e-mail. “Our political vehicle is not fringe or third parties, but a Re-publican Party that adheres to these principles.”
� e group avoids Republicans
whom they identify as harboring an inkling of liberal or moderate views, Gluck said.
� e candidates invited to the fo-rum were William Kurth and Dan-iel Houston, both candidates for Bernalillo County Sheri� ; Errol Chavez, candidate for New Mex-ico State Auditor; and District 5 Bernalillo County Commission can-didate Wayne Johnson.
� e Conservative Republicans’ � rst purpose, as de� ned by the group’s bylaws, is to make the Re-publican Party a “conservative bas-tion, and thus the home for a major-ity of Americans.”
Supporting conservative can-didates for public o� ce stream-lines the party and achieves the group’s second purpose to “prevent the splintering of the conservative movement by thwarting third and fringe parties.”

� ough politics can make some red-hot with frustration, the Demo-cratic Party of New Mexico wants to show UNM students why it can be cool to go blue.
� e DPNM will host Campaign Blue today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m in Smith Plaza. � e event aims to show students how they can get politically involved ahead of the June 1 primary elections.
Angie Poss, co-organizer of the event, said students don’t often par-ticipate in politics, so she wanted to have an event that could show stu-dents how to get involved, either by voting or signing up to volunteer.
“Students can often become the most passive group to the political system,” she said. “If they don’t pay at-tention, they won’t know how politics is a� ecting them.”
Gabe Apodaca, student and � eld coordinator for the Committee to
Elect Diane Denish for Governor, said he wants students to get involved be-cause there is no student representa-tion in policy making.
“� ere are too many policies that are being implemented without any student input, which is sad to say,” he said.
Apodaca said school taught him the importance of being involved in his community, and he would like to help others become more active.
“Studying at UNM kind of opens your eyes to the issues and teaches you to understand the issues,” he said. “� e only way to really make a change is to take part in what is happening politically and socially.”
� e Campaign Blue event is de-signed to get the word out about in-ternships, jobs and volunteer oppor-tunities this summer, Apodaca said.

Student group expands health fair
Conservatives set to thwart third parties
Democratic Party: Students can fit in
by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
� e American Medical Stu-dent Association saved the Student Health and Counseling center’s an-nual health fair last year by sponsor-ing it themselves.
� is year, the student group plans to continue spearheading the event to make the fair bigger and better, said Anna Vestling, co-direc-tor of UNM AMSA.
“� e SHC had experienced bud-get cuts for outreach and student education service,” Vestling said. “We realized that our organization had the power and the funding to be able to put this on to support the student body.”
� e UNM Student Health Fair is today and � ursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Cornell Mall.
Amy Frederick, SHAC nurse manager, said the SHAC will have
representatives at booths on � urs-day giving free blood pressure and blood sugar tests, as well as coupons for cholesterol tests. On both days there will be health information on cholesterol, body fat, smoking ces-sation, insurance and women’s and men’s health, she said.
AMSA will provide booths on topics including health insurance, STIs and HIV — even holistic medi-cine, Vestling said.
“We’re going to provide more information about health care that isn’t medicine-based,” she said. “It’s more in terms of stress reduction and di� erent aspects of health care like chiropractors or herbalists. It’s just a broader perspective.”
She said multicultural health, substance abuse cessation and pre-ventative health information will also be available at AMSA’s booths.
Members will hand out fruit and healthy snacks.
� e Health Fair will cost about $1,000 to host, Vestling said, with about $600 going to renting tables and chairs from the UNM Physical Plant.
Beverly Kloeppel, Student Health and Counseling center director, said the fair must continue so AMSA and SHAC can continue student outreach.
“I do think we identify some peo-ple, for example with depression screening outreach, that do come in who may not have otherwise,” Kloeppel said.
� e Health Fair will bene� t com-munity members as well as UNM students, Vestling said. UNM AMSA will donate all proceeds from a silent auction to Native Health Initiative and Casa de Salud — two nonprof-it organizations in the Albuquerque area. Some items up for auction in-clude a Kaplan MCAT preparation

“Individual liberty and the American way of life are in per-il,” Gluck said. “We believe that the New Mexico Republican Par-ty, dedicated to conservative principles, can provide the way forward.”
The forum’s candidates high-lighted their conservative creden-tials in explaining why they are running for public office.
Johnson said dependency upon the government diminishes indi-vidual choice and responsibility.
“Conservatives embrace free-dom and responsibility versus dependency and absolutism,” he said. “Everything government does for you takes away your freedom.”
Chavez, candidate for state au-ditor, said that his 35-year career as a law enforcement agent has been
anchored by conservative beliefs, and that equips him for the job.
“I’ve been involved with con-servative issues my entire career,” Chavez said. “When the state au-ditor was identified as a position a Republican can fill, I jumped at the opportunity.”
Kurth, candidate for Bernalillo County Sheriff whom the Conser-vative Republicans endorsed, said that as a conservative he will inte-grate and rely more upon commu-nity involvement if elected sheriff.
“I’m a big believer in that the most man power or the best gad-get isn’t going to make it. It’s about community,” Kurth said.
Kurth also said that Gov. Bill Richardson and former Albuquer-que Mayor Martin Chavez have allowed Bernalillo County to be
seen as a “sanctuary” for “narco-terrorists,” because the county is lax about enforcing federal immi-gration rules.
“I describe going after narco-terrorists who are … solely here to prey on our citizens,” Chavez said. “They’re here because we’re viewed largely as a community which doesn’t correspond with Homeland Security.”
Gluck said that between now and the June 1 primary elections, the Conservative Republicans will identify and work for the most con-servative candidates at all levels of government.
As an example, the Conserva-tive Republicans are supporting and working for Susana Martinez’s campaign for governor, Gluck said.
course and two $50 gift cards to Whole Foods, Vestling said.
Native Health Initiative is a group that works with Native-American communities a� ected by health is-sues, said Gregory Ziomek, co-di-rector of UNM AMSA.
“� ey help communities utilize their own resources without just throwing money around,” he said. “� ey help eliminate some of the issues that a lot of the populations face, especially in New Mexico.”
Vestling said Casa de Salud is a health center in the South Val-ley that provides health services
to communities that don’t have insurance. Many UNM students interested in medicine volunteer there, she said.
Student Alicia Leibowitz, a vol-unteer at Casa de Salud, said the clinic will bene� t from AMSA dona-tions because it needs to expand.
“One of the biggest reasons why Casa de Salud needs funding right now is because we have a huge, huge patient base,” Leibowitz said. “� ere are so many people who don’t have insurance and come to us and need help. � e waiting room is always packed.”

The Lobos showed no mercy to the Red Raiders in Tuesday’s matinee duel.
The UNM baseball team played Texas Tech at Isotopes Park, sealing
the deal with one big inning.
Tech’s sunny day was ruined by a six-hit, nine-run fifth inning
by UNM and resulted in a 16-8 Lobo victory.
The Lobos added four runs in the bottom of the seventh, and Rafael Neda hit a stand-up double to score two runs and UNM added two more with a Red Raider error on pitcher Justin Cooper to extend a 12-3 lead in the eighth inning.
“I like to have a team that you nev-er know who is going to be your poi-son that day, and that has happened every day this year,” said UNM head coach Ray Birmingham. “Everybody here on this team has hit and they work at it. But I demand that they do it the right way.”
In the fifth inning, the first four batters for UNM Justin Howard, Ryan Honeycutt, Neda and Cameron Smith produced a bases-loaded situation.
Honeycutt hit a liner to center-fielder Taylor Ashby for the first out of the inning.

Big inning busts game against TTU wide open
Courtesy of South Creek SportsShortstop Daniel Gonzalez makes a throw from second base in UNM’s 16-8 victory over Texas Tech on Tuesday at Isotopes Park.
The next batter, John Michael Twichell was walked by Red Raider relief pitcher Ben Flora and scored Howard.
Texas Tech wouldn’t put anoth-er UNM batter out for another 30 minutes.
But, in the next at bat, Max Willett hit a line-drive single to center field and scored Neda and Smith.
The Lobos would add six more runs before the second out of the inning.
Willett said it was just one of those days for the UNM offense.
“We hit phenomenally, and I wish that I could have got a couple more hits,” Willett said. “But I guess that is the way it goes sometimes, when you’re hitting the ball right at (the de-fense). Obviously we hit the ball well, and sometimes you just need one of those big innings to bust the game wide open, and that is what we did to-day, and hopefully we can just keep

Editor,I went to hear the talk by Gil Ho� man, po-
litical analyst for the Jerusalem Post, when he spoke at UNM last week. I was surprised when I found out the talk was co-sponsored by the Peace Studies Program, along with the Anti-Defamation League and the Jewish Federa-tion. It was a great talk and Q&A session.
� e Peace Studies Program is normally a political and partisan program and anti-Israel from what I’ve seen, and so I haven’t taken their program very seriously. How can a department teach peace and bigotry simultaneously?
When Peace Studies co-sponsored the Ziad Abbas talk the week before, this rein-forced that impression, and I didn’t expect to see a UNM department, especially the Peace Studies Program, give a fair hearing to the Is-raeli side of the Arab/Israeli dispute.
However, by bringing Gil Ho� man to speak and providing an open forum for an Israeli representative to give Israel’s side of the story, Peace Studies showed that it can educate and not just indoctrinate. � ey gave us a rare ex-ample of academic freedom and intellectual honesty.
I hope to see this is a continuing trend and not just a � uke.
Lynn ProvencioUNM student
Dr. Peggy SpencerDaily Lobo guest columnist
Dear Dr. PegWhen I get a headache or get sick with body
aches or fever, I like to take something to help me feel better. But I heard that acetaminophen can destroy your liver and ibuprofen can destroy your stomach. Is there anything else? What can I do?
-Achey
Dear Achey,It gets confusing, I know. Pharmacy shelves
are loaded with products claiming to cure what-ever ails you. Many of the products have multi-ple ingredients, which can add to the confusion. Both of the drugs you mentioned have been in the limelight and were revealed to be not quite as benign as they seemed.
Acetaminophen goes by the brand name Ty-lenol, among others. You might also see it on labels as APAP, which stands for N-acetyl-p-amino phenol, the o� cial chemical name. � is drug made the news because it caused liver damage in some people. In normal doses, acetaminophen is usually safe. � e problem is that people take more than they realize. Acetaminophen is an
ingredient in lots of products, like Dayquil, Ny-quil, � era� u and Excedrin PM, just to name a few. Add this to the fact that, for acetaminophen, the distance between maximum safe dose and toxic dose is quite short. So if you take one of the multi-symptom products and also take ac-etaminophen, you can end up with a toxic dose of acetaminophen without realizing it.
Since alcohol can damage the liver too, there is some concern about taking acetaminophen if you drink alcohol. If you have a weakened liver, like from chronic hepatitis or heavy alcohol use, you should talk to your doctor before you take acetaminophen.
� e FDA has taken a few steps to decrease the risk of people getting liver damage from ac-etaminophen. As of this month, product labels are required to highlight the presence and dan-ger of this drug. � ere is talk of taking it further, like limiting the maximum single dose to less than the current 1,000 mg (two extra strength pills), and decreasing the maximum recom-mended daily dose, which is currently 4 grams in total, but those steps haven’t happened yet.
My best advice to you is to read labels care-fully. You might also want to buy single ingredi-ent medications. I know it is easier to take one product than three, but it might be safer to ad-dress one symptom at a time. It can also be cheaper. Multi-symptom products can be quite pricey compared to single ingredient generic drugs. If you doubt that, do your own recon in the nearest pharmacy.
You also asked about ibuprofen. Like all drugs, it can be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Ibu-profen is in a di� erent class of drug from acet-aminophen, a class called nonsteroidal anti-in-� ammatory medicines, or NSAIDs. Aspirin and naproxen are also in this group. Naproxen is the active ingredient in Aleve. � ere are many more NSAIDs available by prescription only.
NSAIDs work for fever and pain, like acetamin-ophen. Unlike acetaminophen, however, these
drugs also work on in� ammation. � ese are the drugs you’ll take if you sprain your ankle or hurt your back.
NSAIDs can cause you to bleed more easily and they can also irritate your stomach. I have seen patients with bleeding ulcers from taking too many NSAIDs. Again, it is usually a mat-ter of dosage, but even at normal doses some people have trouble. Take these medicines with food, don’t exceed the maximum dosages and pay attention to your body for signals that the medicine might not agree with you.
A word about aspirin before I leave you. Aspirin, also known as ASA or acetylsalicylic acid, is an old drug, tried and true for many problems. However, it has a rare but danger-ous side e� ect. In a few children and teens who are recovering from viral illnesses, as-pirin has caused something called Reye’s Syndrome. � is is a rare but potentially fa-tal complication causing internal chemical derangements and swelling in the liver and brain. For this reason, most doctors don’t rec-ommend aspirin for kids or teens.
If you think you might have taken too much of anything, call Poison Control locally at (505) 272-2222 or nationally at (800) 222-1222. In ad-dition, your local pharmacist can be a source of excellent information. Student Health and Counseling Pharmacy may be reached at (505) 277-6307. � ey are located on the second � oor of SHAC.

Editor,� e Daily Lobo should take serious and
immediate care to not subscribe itself to fas-cism. Such would be the case if the Lobo carries out plans to remove or censor racist/hate content from opinion letters.
I was shocked to learn of the consider-ation to take such action. UNM is a place for
education and learning; a space that should, above all things, promote freedom of speech. Is this not the foundation of journalism too?
To censor comments simply because you do not agree with the content, for any rea-son, is fascist and anti-American. I do not condone or promote hate speech. But, if someone wants to use such a thing to ex-press themselves, that is their prerogative. I was proud of our African-American brothers and sisters who protested the hateful letter from a week ago. � at is certainly the proper response. � e wrong response is to censor
such content in the future. Otherwise, you are being as judgmen-
tal and prescriptive as the racism you are hoping to quell. Shame on the Lobo and its editor for even considering such an evil practice.
Robby OrtizUNM student
Editor’s note: We want healthy, thoughtful debate on our website. Sorry to subject you to our fascism, Robby.
Editor,I would like to share my story, “� e Blind
Clown.”� ere was once a blind clown who made
his way at the carnival pretending to be a mys-tic. He would tell people what he thought the world looked like, painting them a beautiful picture, � attering and delighting them.
Of course nobody ever disagreed with what he said, everybody loved him, and he became wealthy and famous, for a carnival clown.
In spite of his good fortune, however, he wanted so badly to see the beautiful dancing girl at the carnival.
An old wizard sold him some magic tea, and he got his sight restored. He looked around at the world, and laughing, hanged himself.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Rhode Is-land man admitted Tuesday that he fatally beat his parents, hid their bod-ies in the backyard cesspool and then used the couple’s credit cards for a shopping spree.
James Soares Jr., 25, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and other crimes just as he was to stand trial in Providence Superior Court. He faces two consecutive sentences of life in prison.
Soares admitted attacking his parents, James and Marian Soares, with a heavy garden hoe and con-cealing the bodies in the in-ground cesspool outside their Warren home. State police dug up the bodies on July 26, 2008, and formally charged Soares the following day.
The couple had been reported missing two weeks earlier after miss-ing a family reunion. Marian Soares had so anticipated the get-together that she had created a special fam-ily tree and had copies run off for relatives. But in the days leading
up to the event, she did not return phone calls and e-mails from her family.
“Marian and James Soares had no intention of missing this family reunion,” prosecutor Stacey Veroni said in court Tuesday.
The medical examiner’s office believes the Soares were killed on July 7, five days before the family reunion.
Soares lied repeatedly about the couple’s whereabouts when ques-tioned by relatives and investiga-tors, Veroni said.
state treasurer and land commis-sioner will be offering various op-portunities, Apodaca said.
Poss said the event will raise awareness about the June primary and give students the opportunity to meet candidates for various state positions.
“I think a lot of students don’t even know that there is an election coming up, and there needs to be some sort of visibility,” she said.
Poss said students could register to vote at the event and learn about
early and absentee voting.“We need to tell students that
there is an opportunity to go and vote, even if it is not a presidential election,” she said.
Melissa Trent, president of the UNM College Democrats, said the Campaign Blue event would give students an opportunity to see if there is a place for them in the po-litical process.
“It gives students a chance to see what the Democratic Party is about and see where they fit in,” she said.
Poss said becoming involved in politics has opened doors for her that she was unaware of before be-coming an intern with the DPNM.
“I have learned a lot about being involved in local politics,” she said. “There are ways people can partici-pate that I didn’t even know existed until I got involved with the party.”
The Campaign Blue event will have representatives from more than 13 campaigns and will be giv-ing away free cotton candy and snow cones.
Man pleads guilty to killing parents
doing it.” Two Lobos have kept the bats
alive and well. Howard and Neda combined for seven hits at ten at-bats for six RBIs.
Rudy Jaramillo, who started the game for UNM, pitched five innings and gave up only three earned runs on five Texas Tech hits.
Jaramillo is now 3-1 on the season.
Birmingham said that Jaramil-lo’s pitching performance was stel-lar, especially against a very potent Texas Tech offense.
“Rudy pitched his tail off and I thought that he did a great job,” Bir-mingham said.
UNM improves to 28-14 on the season, while the TTU drops to 24-21.
Even though the game versus the Red Raiders was in the mid-dle of the week, Birmingham said that his players should still be up for the challenge against an op-ponent from one of the big-six conferences.
“If you have a tough time fo-cusing to play baseball, then you
need to bring your uniform to me and get out of here,” he said. “It’s a mental thing and it’s about guts. I have been preaching it and finally some guys are starting to get it.”

Ross D. Franklin / AP Photo A protester joins thousands attending an immigration rally at the Arizona Capitol on Sunday. Activists called on President Barack Obama to fight a new Arizona law targeting illegal immigrants, promising Sunday to march in the streets and invite arrest by refusing to comply if the measure goes into effect.
McCain: Arizona had to crack downby Jonathan J. Cooper
Associated Press
PHOENIX — Politicians weighed in on Arizona’s tough new immigra-tion law Tuesday, while Mexico cau-tioned its citizens about an “adverse political atmosphere” in the state and a Phoenix man said he was aim-ing to get a referendum to repeal the measure on November’s ballot.
In California, Meg Whitman, the Republican front-runner in the Cal-ifornia gubernatorial primary, said that Arizona is taking the wrong ap-proach with its tough new law.
“I think there’s just better ways to
solve this problem,” Whitman said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press.
But Sen. John McCain told CBS’s “The Early Show” that his state need-ed such a law because the Obama administration has failed to “secure our borders.” The Arizona Republi-can called the situation in his state “the worst I’ve ever seen,” and that ineffective border enforcement has resulted in drugs pouring into the southwestern United States from Mexico.
In Mexico, the Foreign Rela-tions Department urged Mexicans in Arizona to “act with prudence
and respect the framework of local laws” and said that the law’s pas-sage shows “an adverse political at-mosphere for migrant communities and for all Mexican visitors.”
Meanwhile, Jon Garrido, who produces a Hispanic website and ran unsuccessfully last year for Phoenix City Council, said he’s been flooded with inquiries and that he’s optimistic about putting a referen-dum to repeal the law on Arizona’s November ballot. Qualifying a ref-erendum requires submission of at least 76,682 voter signatures within 90 days after the current legislative session.

If you think you’re cut out for the film industry, try taking University Honors Art of Film class first.
The class is designed for people who are interested in film but don’t necessarily want to make a career out of it, although some do go on to pur-sue the film industry. The final project for the class is writing and shooting a short film.
All of the films can be found on the Daily Lobo Film Fest YouTube chan-nel, and students are encouraged to view them and vote for their favorite, said visiting lecturer and teacher of the class, Jonatha Kottler.
“This is the fourth year that we’ve done the class in Honors,” Kottler said. “And this is the first year that we’ve done the online component. I think it’s going to open our students up to a much larger audience … The online idea was something that Pat Lohmann suggested. Given his posi-tion at the Lobo and taking the class, he suggested that we go this way.”
Kottler said each year the class hosts a film festival to present the stu-dents’ films to the public. The films
are given awards from the audience and judges. There is also a suggested donation of $2, and all the proceeds go to a local charity, which for this year will be the Desert Globe Players: Children’s Shakespeare Theater.
Kottler said the online component should help draw students into the class and give them a better idea of what the Honors Program is.

If you’ve ever wondered what the mystery of fly-fishing is, you can find out this weekend.
The fly-fishing trip has been part of the Getaway Adventures program at UNM Recreation Services for 16 years.
Laura Montoya, Getaway Adven-ture coordinator, has overseen the growth of the program.
“Getaway Adventures is a non-profit program. We provide trips that give the outdoors and even the cul-tural aspects of New Mexico,” Mon-toya said. “Our trips are unique. We try to focus on outdoor trips. We will do anything that is outdoors.”
The fly-fishing trip will be at the San Juan River on Saturday and Sun-day, accompanied by a clinic to pre-pare students for the trip. The clinic is today.
“We have a fly-fishing trip every semester,” Montoya said. “The clin-ic is to teach the logistics of fly-fish-ing. They’ll learn about tying knots and more to prepare for the trip this weekend.”
The session is limited to eight people because of the shortage in equipment, she said. However, if anyone has their own fly-fishing equipment, they are welcome to
attend. Registration is available online at the Recreation Services website.
“We try to keep the group small that way they all get special attention from the instructor,” Montoya said. “The session is open to all students, faculty, staff and even their friends.”
She said the Getaway Adventure will be taught by a UNM alumnus Thomas Pena.
“Pena is the ‘master of the rivers.’ He came to me about 17 years ago as a student and suggested that we start fly-fishing. At the time, we didn’t have any equipment for it. Pena ex-plained that he had all the equip-ment because of his job and we started from there,” Montoya said.
Pena said he is trying to teach the basics of fly-fishing.
“Fly-fishing is a technique,” Pena said. “I teach people how to recog-nize the waters and cast the reels. There is a certain mystery that sur-rounds fly-fishing. The reality is, there is no mystery. It is just the technique.”
Pena has been fishing since he was 10 years old. The first time he tried fly-fishing was on the San Juan River.
“The sport is very straightforward and logical,” he said. “These work-shops are a great opportunity for people who don’t want to put out the
expense and try to figure it out on their own. I do this to get people on the same level as far as knowledge, and then show them how to do it.”
There is always a cost for each Getaway Adventure, but it’s rela-tively low for the experience, Mon-toya said. The cost of fly-fishing this weekend is $77 if you have your own equipment or $88 if you are rent-ing equipment from Recreation Services.
“It is the best deal that you will be able to find,” she said. “We offer these getaways because the person won’t have to go out and buy the equipment in order to try something new. If a person tries a new thing out and finds they liked it, then we have offered a service at the minimum fee.”
The trip is overnight and fish-ers can camp out if they want. There will be another fly-fishing event on July 17 and 18 at Rio Costilla Park in northern New Mexico.

Louis Herring makes an addition to one of his pieces depicting the American flag, the Statue of Liberty and Predator in the Art Building on Tuesday.
Zach Gould / Daily Lobo
by Zach GouldDaily Lobo
Louis Herring is a senior in the College of Fine Arts. He loves hor-ror movies, chemical supplies and doodling on other peoples dis-carded prints. Adorned in a paint-covered apron, Herring works with print scraps, Sharpies and small cutouts of a blood-splattered Christian Bale.
Daily Lobo: Hey, what are you doing today?
Louis Herring: I’m mak-ing some art, but don’t you think someone else is doing something more important?
DL: You’re a part of the commu-nity, of course you’re important.
LH: Well, OK.DL: So what are your paintings
about?LH: I try to combine different
pieces of culture into one, like this piece has a quote from Dante’s In-ferno, but it also has characters from American horror films.
DL: That’s cool. How long have you been in school? You’re a stu-dio major, right?
LH: Yeah, I am a studio ma-jor, but I am also a staff member. And as far as the time frame for school, it has got to be close to six years. UNM allows staff eight cred-it hours a semester. But thankfully, I am finally done. I am graduating.
DL: Where do you work?LH: In the chemical research
lab supply department. DL: So if I wanted to start a meth
lab, you’d be the guy to go to?LH: No, and yes, we do get that
joke a lot.DL: When you start a piece do
you just start, or do you have an idea of where you’re going?
LH: Well, when I first started, you know, I would just start. But at this point I don’t touch any-thing really until I have a full idea of where I am going to go with it. I do these, the horror paintings and stuff. But people seem to like this art book I am making most.
DL: What is the book?LH: Well, I have a box in the
print-making lab with a note on it, asking for any and all donations. Then I take the prints and use Sharpie to make my mark on it …
See, this one was a landscape, but I realized this doesn’t want to be a landscape — this wants to be the devil eating ice cream … This one I named “Mickey Mouse on Crack.”
DL: So what do you call this book?
LH: “The Blur of Insanity!”DL: You’re graduating soon,
yeah? So what are you going to do when you’re done? Are you just going to focus on art or stay at your job, or what?
LH: I know I am not going to stop working on my art. I’ll stay here at UNM working, but I am go-ing to make time to do art when-ever I can.
DL: Cool, well thanks for taking the time.
LH: Yeah man, just don’t cruci-fy me too bad.

a computer at one point and there is a tricky underwater scene, but it was fun and exciting.”
Simmons said the class taught her a lot about film that she wasn’t aware of, such as different types of symbol-ism. They also learned how to write screenplays in the class.
“There are a lot of really interest-ing readings about visual symbol-ism,” she said. “Like a bad guy al-ways enters from the right side of the screen, because as Americans we read left to right, so if it comes from the opposite direction it makes us feel uncomfortable.”
Will Schlesinger is also in the class and said he made a film that com-bined a western feel with the open spaces of the UNM campus.
“It was more of a location thing,” he said. “I just thought that this would be a good scene for a chase scene.”
Schlesinger said he wasn’t expect-ing the class to be so much work, but he learned more that his film interests lie in the amateur realm.
“It’s a lot of work that goes into the full length films, even the crappy ones” he said. “It makes you realize and appreciate how much effort goes into making really bad films.”

Running, swimming and cycling … oh crap!
If you were looking for some-thing to whip you into shape besides the traditional physical education classes UNM offers, then this class may be for you.
Trevor Gillum, the class instruc-tor of UNM’s triathlon class, has been whipping 35 lucky, or unlucky based on your preference, students into triathlon shape over this semes-ter, but they do not seem to mind.
Student Alyssa Martinez said the class is a great supplement to her own training as well as a good social outlet.
“It is nice when I am forced to run intervals and swim at a harder pace than I normally would because it is something I need to do in order to do well in my races,” she said. “The class atmosphere adds to the moti-vation of wanting to work hard and push yourself.”
A triathlon is an event that incor-porates three sports into one suc-cessive event. Athletes swim, cycle and run various distances consec-utively and compete for the fastest overall time. Triathlons are a test in power, strength and endurance and showcase athletes with all-around physical prowess.
This semester is the first time that Gillum taught the class. He said
he has participated in a handful of multi-sport events, but comes from a running background primarily. Martinez said he is the right instruc-tor for the course.
“Trevor is a great instructor because he really knows what he is talking about when it comes to endurance training,” she said. “He used to run for University of Mon-tana, so he really is knowledgeable about information when it comes to running, such as how to set up a program, sports, nutrition and proper training to prevent injuries. He makes the class enjoyable for people who are training for races, or those who are just taking the class to stay active.”
Gillum said that the levels of athleticism in the class vary, like any fitness class.
If Jennifer Lopez can do it, so can you, Gillum said and he hopes to see more students get involved in the program.
“Hopefully students get in-terested in racing tri’s and get fit along the way,” Gillum said.
If the class seems like a good fit, check out the fall semester triath-lon class on Tuesdays and Thurs-days at 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Ac-cording to LoboWeb on Tuesday, there were eight slots in the class left.

Class sculpts students into race-ready athletes
Melania Trump designsaccessible jewelry line
by Alicia RancilioAssociated Press
NEW YORK — Even the rich and famous enjoy a bargain.
Melania Trump is launching a line of affordable jewelry on QVC. Each item in the Melania Timepiec-es & Jewelry collection costs less than $200.
The 40-year-old model could have created a fine jewelry line but said in a telephone interview from Palm Beach, Fla., that she wanted some-thing more accessible. And now that her 4-year-old son, Barron, is in school, she has more time to work on sketches and designs.
“I’m completely involved from A to Z, 100 percent,” she said. “I go
through the samples and have to ap-prove every piece.”
The line is broken up into three categories inspired by places Trump calls home: New York, Palm Beach and Paris. The New York items are created with a businesswoman in mind, Palm Beach is more sporty and Paris is more flashy and glamorous.
Trump said she didn’t consult her real estate mogul husband, Donald, much about her venture.
“He knows I’m doing it, but we didn’t talk much,” she said. “I’m not a big talker; I prefer to do it and then when it’s done to come out and show. I don’t like people who talk, talk, talk and then don’t deliver.”
Trump’s collection will make its debut on QVC on Friday.

Film portrays Rwandan president heroicallyby John Heilprin
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The tall thin man strode to the stage at the Tribeca Film Festival and fielded a few ques-tions about one of the main subjects of the documentary just screened
— himself: Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
The president’s star turn Monday night before a chic crowd in lower Manhattan was less surprising con-sidering it was the world premiere of a documentary that portrays Kagame, who is up for re-election in August, in a heroic light. After the 88-minute film, “Earth Made of Glass,” ended, filmgoers welcomed him with a standing ovation.
“When you want reconciliation and justice at the same time, they tend to conflict,” he replied to one question. “That’s what happens ev-ery day in our country.”
Kagame also pledged to con-tinue cooperating with his nation’s former sworn enemy, Congo. The two nations teamed up for a joint operation last year against the ex-tremist Rwandan Hutu rebels who fled to eastern Congo, after Kag-ame’s rebel army ended the 1994 genocide.
Rwanda has, together with neighbor Uganda, twice invaded Congo — in 1994 and 1998. During each invasion Rwanda said it was chasing down the Rwandan mili-tias. The second invasion sparked a five-year, six-nation war in Congo that killed some 3 million people.
Recently, Congo President Jo-seph Kabila told the United Na-tions he wants the world body to start withdrawing all peacekeeping troops, ahead of Kabila’s re-elec-tion bid next year. Back-to-back wars shook Congo from 1996 to 2002, drawing in half a dozen Afri-can nations. Kabila’s government, however, has since struggled to as-sert its control in the east and has had difficulty building effective in-stitutions and integrating former fighters into a national army.
“I wish the Congolese the best for their country,” Kagame said.
“We are trying to work with the Congolese. ... We are going to con-tinue working together in our re-gion to have peace, not only for Rwanda but for Congo as well, and for the rest of the region.”
Kagame’s Tutsi rebels defeated the Hutu extremists after the 1994 genocide in which half a million people, mostly Tutsis and moder-ate Hutus, died. Critics of his gov-ernment argue, however, that the ruling party has used the concept of genocide ideology to discred-it detractors and defeat political opponents.
For years, Kagame has sparred with France over an alleged French role in the genocide, with Rwanda’s government and genocide survi-vor organizations often accusing France of training and arming the Hutu militias and former govern-ment troops who led the genocide.
In 1998, a French parliamen-tary panel absolved France of re-sponsibility in the slaughter. But in February, Nicolas Sarkozy be-came the first French president to visit Rwanda since the genocide and said those responsible for the killings should be found and pun-ished, including any who might be residing in France.
Filmmaker Deborah Scranton’s documentary prominently adopts the view of Kagame’s 2008 report into what she calls “the French government’s hidden complicity” in the genocide.
Also interwoven into the film is the gripping story of how 47-year-old Jean Pierre Sagahutu, a fixer for international news media orga-nizations, tracked down the villag-ers who years earlier had permit-ted his father, a physician, to be killed and buried naked in a field beside a road block, simply for be-ing an ethnic Tutsi.
