If UNM undergraduates plan to attend graduate school, they should start planning as early as freshman year, said Jenna Crabb, UNM’s direc-tor of Career Services.

Representatives from 86 gradu-ate and professional institutions will be at the Graduate and Professional School Fair in the SUB today to help students research potential schools, Crabb said.

“You want to look at faculty-to-sta� ratio, locations and research op-portunities available for your par-ticular � eld,” she said. “Knowing the industry that you are going to want to work in is going to be really important in � guring out what master’s degree � ts your industry, your major and your career goals.”

Cassandra Costley, Career Servic-es event coordinator, said interested students will have an impressive array of schools to choose from at the fair.

“Students need to shop around for the school that they want,” she said. “We have students that have a qual-ity educational background, so that’s what we are providing, an opportuni-ty to look at all these schools and have them audition for (the students).”

Sophomore Crystal Foley said she is considering graduate schools and will attend the fair.

“It’s something good to look into if you are not sure about it,” she said. “It’s a good place to get information.”

Cindy Garcia, admissions coordi-nator for UNM’s School of Medicine, said the fair isn’t necessarily geared toward upperclassmen, and in fact it’s better for younger students to attend.

“We like to get to freshman so they can start working on their goals… and get a good start,” she said. “When they come into the application process their senior year, they are going to have the strongest application possi-ble, because they were prepared since the beginning.”

Crabb said students should learn about graduate schools as soon as possible so they can choose the right place when the time comes.

“You want to make your master’s degree � t you, not you � t your mas-ter’s degree,” she said.

Senior Daniel Fellar said the fair could help students apply to graduate schools, as well.

“It’s good to � nd out more infor-mation as to what is involved in the application process,” he said. “� e fair would de� nitely be a good place to get useful additional information.”

A former Israeli Defense Forces soldier spoke out against the Israeli government’s policies at a lecture in the SUB on Tuesday.

Micah Kurz, who grew up in Jeru-salem, served in the Israeli army from 2001 to 2004. All Israeli citizens are re-quired to join the country’s defense forces when they turn 18, he said.

Kurz said his organization, Break-ing the Silence, was founded to let people know what Israeli soldiers ex-perience on a day-to-day basis.

“We watched ourselves and our buddies kind of lose a few screws,” he said. “At some point you just get either extremely bored, or you actually learn that you can do whatever you want.”

Mae Eye, vice president of the UNM Israel Alliance, said the IDF does what’s necessary to secure peace in Israel.

“I told (Kurz) that I’m sorry he pre-sented only one side,” she said. “� e other side is the Israeli side, in view of history, in view of what the Hamas Charter says, which is to kill Israel, wipe it o� the map.”

Guida Leicester of the Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East, who helped to bring Kurz to UNM,

said the Israel Alliance portrays

Hamas as more violent than it really is.

“� ey have said, ‘We don’t want to push Israel into the sea’” she said. “Both sides have a right to live and ex-ist together peacefully.”

Leicester said it’s important to hear the story of Israeli soldiers be-cause their stories are central to the region’s problems.

“For me, the Israel-Palestine con-� ict is at the core, the root of the prob-lems in the Middle East,” she said.

Kurz said people living in Jerusa-lem have no idea what happens in the Palestinian occupied territories that are only a few miles away from where they live.

“We wanted people to know what’s going on 40 minutes away, and what it means to them that they’re send-ing 18-year-olds into this situation regularly.”

Kurz said the psychological e� ects of being placed in a position of pow-er over people are detrimental to the young people who work as soldiers for the Israeli army. He said that the soldiers are required to watch check-points and decide which Palestinians can go through.

Ph.D. student Mel Strong is doing research so unique that he had to make his own instruments and build his own plane to complete it.

New Mexico is known for its unpredictable weath-er patterns, and Strong has made it his mission to analyze the air during monsoon season to discover what causes them.

“� e question is, ‘When we have cloudy days, rainy days, where does that moisture come from?’” he said. “� at’s what I’m trying to answer.”

Strong took a glass-blowing class to learn how to make his own instruments. He also built a makeshift plane to collect air samples as high as 10,000 feet in the air.

Professor Dave Gutzler, one of Strong’s advis-ers, said this work will advance weather-related research.

“It is a huge leap forward scienti� cally,” Gutzler said. “He has established some new standards for documenting the seasonal cycles of isotopic water vapor in this part of the world — how to gather it, how to measure it, how to analyze it and how to use it in conjunction with dynamical computer models.”

Strong said everyday climatic processes o� er a lot of research opportunities.

“A lot of people assume we already know every-thing about the weather and how it works, but there is a lot we don’t understand,” he said.

Strong said that the day-to-day research can be tedious, but the grati� cation of discovering a pattern makes it all worth it.

“All this work comes down to one graph,” he said. “You � nally get that done, and you can actually say, ‘Oh, I know what’s going on here,’ and you can make an interpretation.”

Strong said he credits his success to his overactive imagination.

something important I’m just thinking all kinds of cra-zy thoughts,” he said. “So eventually all those crazy thoughts just get accumulated somewhere and I get enough crazy thoughts that every once in a while I actu-ally get one that is usable.”

Strong’s “usable thoughts” have translated into help-ful inventions for the scienti� c community, Gutzler said.

“Mel has a data set that is absolutely unique,” he said. “No one else in the world has the sort of data that he has

Daily Lobo asks you:Should head football coach Mike Locksley be punished for the altercation with assistant coach J.B. Gerald?

“I think what he got right now is pretty fair. I mean, there is a lot of pressure on him, you know. I mean, everyone is pressuring him to do well, so I think the pressure just kind of got to him. I think for right now what he got is right.”

Kevin BurtonEconomicsFreshman

“...If it was something they were talking about from their personal lives in the locker room and he hit him because he was out of line, then there are reasons behind his actions, and he’s justified in that. But if it had to do with something that just happened on the field then I think he deserves way more than he got.”

Elizabeth BoyleElementary Education

Senior

“Well, if there are actually charges filed, maybe he should be at least suspended for a while, if not fired. You just can’t put your hands on another human being without having any consequences. There’s the coach for the Oakland Raiders who’s facing the same issue, and maybe the punishment should mirror what’s going on there.”

Frank RamirezUniversity

StudiesSophomore

“I definitely think he deserves more than a slap on the wrist. I don’t know exactly what the punishment should be, but I think there should be further repercussions for him, that’s for sure. The guy he hit is on administrative leave right now and I don’t understand why Locksley isn’t.”

Contrary to what was printed in the table accompanying Wednesday’s “Enrollment up at NM universities,” NMSU’s enrollment increased from 17,198 to 18,497 since last year. The two numbers were backwards in the table.

that go through the streets every day,” he said.

Kurz said he also belongs to Grass-roots Jerusalem, an organization cre-ating an online database of the needs of Palestinians in East Jerusalem.

Eye said that by helping grassroots organizations in Palestine, the groups are helping Hamas fight the state of Israel.

“Hamas and the Palestinians are the same,” she said. “That’s the same thing. They’re together.”

Israel Alliance Treasurer Lynn Provencio said if the organizations remain apolitical, they are not work-ing against the state of Israel. But she doesn’t believe that all the grassroots organizations Kurz works with are in-dependent of Hamas.

“I think when it’s strictly a human-itarian issue like that, I see no prob-lem with it,” she said. “The organiza-tions that he works with, a lot of them, they do get into politics.”

Kurz said the conflict between the IDF and Hamas is irrelevant to the work of the grassroots groups helping civilians on both sides.

He said that Palestinian neighbor-hoods in and around Jerusalem are regularly subject to curfews from the Israeli government, and sometimes suffer from water restrictions as well.

“Villages have the water turned off for 40 days at a time,” he said. “I tell my buddies, ‘40 days without wa-ter,’ and people don’t believe me. But

believe me.”Kurz said Grassroots Jerusalem is

also working to connect the organiza-tions trying to fulfill the needs of Pal-estinians in the area.

“Five years down the line, I’d like to have an accessible map online, where I can log into any community in Jeru-salem and find out what their most urgent needs may be — and a way to find out who’s already active in that

neighborhood, what are the organiza-tions, what are they doing,” he said.

Kurz said Grassroots Jerusalem is looking for students to help build their online directory of grassroots groups. Students can get in contact with the group through their Web site, Grass-rootsJerusalem.com.

“If anyone would like to come and work with us, we’re very happy to help them find their niche,” Kurz said.

Tsunami kills over 100 in American Samoa

by Seth Borenstein The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Because of a lethal combination of geology and geography, the people of Ameri-can Samoa didn’t stand much of a chance.

Almost every condition that trig-gers bad tsunamis was in place this time, generating waves that raced toward the island territory at speeds approaching 530 mph, as fast as a 747 jumbo jet. And there was almost nothing to slow the water down.

It all started with a type of earth-

quake that tends to generate strong tsunamis because of the angle at which the ground breaks. Also, the quake was extremely powerful, with a magnitude of 8.0. It struck just be-low the ocean floor, which means very little lost energy. And it hap-pened in deep water, which means bigger waves.

The deeper water also meant the tsunami sped along the ocean faster. American Samoa happened to be close to the epicenter, about 125 miles, and at just the right

Editor,I confess that I do not understand football.

Not only am I unable to grasp the nuances of how the game is played, but I also fail to under-stand its importance to an institution of higher learning. I do understand the importance of the game to those who play it on behalf of UNM. To them it is not merely recreation, but a lifestyle, a subculture and a means of tremendous op-portunity for education on and o� the � eld. I have no issue with and, indeed, great respect for those who play and coach.

As for those who pay exorbitant sums year after year to coaches and sta� for middling and poor results, I o� er the following: I would like to submit my name for consideration for the head football coach position for the 2010 season.

True, I don’t have any experience coaching and am ignorant of the game, but I guarantee that I can deliver at least a 0-4 record by this time next year.

I won’t know how to direct my sta� and coaches for optimal recruiting and performance, but I will know how to treat them with dignity and respect. I haven’t hit anyone since 1989.

Just in case you’re on the fence about this, let me say that I o� er my woefully inadequate skills for the price of my tuition and monthly rent, about $14,000 a year.

I don’t know exactly how much money this will save the University, but I would guess that the entire team could be given full academic scholarships.

With more savings to the school, more schol-arship opportunities to be had, and a record that can’t be any worse than it is now, isn’t it time to put a bozo like me in charge?

Colin CunninghamUNM student

Editor,I am a non-smoker who grew up in a house-

hold with a smoker, so I can understand want-ing a smoke-free campus. But if UNM is go-ing to make the “smoke-free campus” work, there needs to be a set policy in place for when smokers break the rules. Why have a “smoke-free policy” if you can’t even repri-mand people for not following its guidelines?If UNM wants a truly compliant campus, maybe they need to spend some money. � e adminis-tration should hire more tra� c, bicycle and foot patrol cops, and those expensive ATVs should be used to patrol the campus for smokers.

Otherwise, the University needs to get rid of a policy they can’t make people adhere to.

Becca GranatoUNM student

Editor,I am writing to encourage everyone in

Albuquerque to vote for the extension of the Transportation Infrastructure Gross Re-ceipts Tax on Oct. 6. This tax has been in place for 10 years now and has paid for our roads, our buses and our pedestrian and bi-cycle system. It has provided a crucial piece of funding for our infrastructure system, and to lose it now would be a terrible thing.

Here’s what to expect should the tax fail:Cracks and potholes in our streets will take much longer to repair.New expansions of our road sys-tem won’t happen for a long time.Desperately needed new bike trails won’t be built.

Bus services will be cut — ser-vice hours will be reduced and routes will be eliminated altogether. Across the country, mass transit systems fac-ing budget cuts have been forced to raise fares, and the same could happen here.Albuquerque is still a growing city and we need these improvements, which

benefit everyone in this city (unless you stay at home all day) more than ever. And for those who remember the streetcar fiasco of 2006, the language of the bill specifically bans the funds from being used on a rail system, un-less the people approve doing so later on.So if you drive, bike, walk, or take the bus within city limits, you have every reason to vote for this tax. A quarter of a cent — that’s $0.0025 — for every dollar spent is a small price to pay for a healthy transportation system.

Editor,Athletics Director Paul Krebs is follow-

How-ever, just as the coaches are hired using a di� erent standard, they are disciplined dif-ferently. Any regular sta� member who hit an-other would have been, at the very least, put on administrative leave without pay or � red

immediately. “Locks” has shown he has no re-gard for the rules we all must follow and Krebs is going along with it. � ere is a pattern devel-oping here: verbal abuse against sta� , where-by someone was forced to retire and then � led an Equal Employment Opportunity Commis-sion suit and is now being retaliated against by “Locks” through his counter suit.

Now there is physical abuse against sta� , albeit another coach. � is is an escalation of abuse. � is pattern creates a hostile working environment for everyone in Athletics: sta� , coaches and especially the students, who look to the coach as a role model, as a good exam-ple. I see no role model or good example here.

You want to keep good sta� and recruit stu-dents with talent. You’re not going to have ei-ther, not as long as coach Locksley is still at UNM. However, UNM can’t a� ord to buy out his contract, not while still paying Rocky Long. But UNM can a� ord to pay for the logo at the Rail Runner stop to bring fans to see the Lobos play football or basketball.

Bad behavior is a deterrent, not an induce-ment to bring people to the stadium. � is is a failure to everyone who works at UNM and those who study here.

Strong said he doesn’t plan to do much more research. Instead, he’ll pass the torch to the future scientists of America.

angle, with almost no shallow water to slow the speeding waves down.

Put that all together and there was less than 25 minutes, maybe as little as 13 minutes, between the ground shaking and the first tre-mendous waves swamping Samoa.

And it didn’t help that an inter-national computerized system, de-signed for relief agencies to figure out if they needed to respond, had a computer failure that caused it to pooh-pooh the tsunami’s wrath initially.

“This is the kind of earthquake one would expect to be very de-structive in the areas close to the epicenter, and unfortunately it was,” said Stuart Weinstein, deputy direc-tor at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

The shaking at the weather ser-vice office in Pago Pago, the capi-tal of American Samoa, was so bad that one official immediately called the tsunami warning center in Ha-waii, while the island’s chief meteo-rologist phoned homeland security to activate the warning system. Just before 7 a.m. local time, bulletins were issued and alerts aired on TV and radio.

But there wasn’t enough time. Four sets of waves 15 to 20 feet high hit. As of Wednesday afternoon, the death toll had climbed well over 100.

“It’s one of those heart-wrench-ing situations where you have some time, but what can you do? It’s not much time,” said Eric Geist, a tsu-nami specialist and geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, Calif.

Tsunamis are towering waves triggered by earthquakes. They can top 100 feet, and can stick around

for as much as an hour, recede vio-lently, then come back hours later.

In some ways, the geological conditions were even worse for Tuesday’s tsunami than they were during the devastating 9.0-magni-tude quake and tsunami that killed more than 150,000 people in Asia in 2004. But this time, there were fewer people in harm’s way in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

The key factor this time was the type of earthquake. It was an “outer rise” quake — one that breaks the sea floor in a way that concentrates the energy and pushes up at the water to create a wave, said Bruce Jaffe, an oceanographer and tsu-nami specialist at USGS in Santa Cruz, Calif. Strong quakes are usu-ally a different type, called a thrust event.

The area where it hit is no strang-er to quakes, getting a few magni-tude-6-to-7 ones per year, said Peg-gy Hellweg, a geophysicist at the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory. Because quakes are measured on a logarithmic scale, a magnitude-8 is 1,000 times stronger than a magni-tude-6 in terms of energy released, Hellweg said.

Tuesday’s quake was the fourth-strongest outer rise on record, Geist said.

This quake was also relatively shallow in the ground, only 11.2 miles under the sea floor. That’s important because the closer the quake is to the surface of the ocean, the less energy dissipates as it trav-els through the ground.

It was also in deep water. Initial estimates are that there was well over 3 miles, maybe even 4 miles, of water above the shaking ground, Geist said. That means more water

displaced, and thus bigger waves. If there had been only 1 mile of water above the quake, the waves would have been about 11 feet smaller, Geist estimated.

That deep water also was re-sponsible for the blinding speed of the tsunami. The deeper the water, the faster a tsunami travels.

This water was so deep that the tsunami could have been zipping along at 530 mph, Geist said. Usu-ally, a tsunami slows down when it hits shallow water. Around the United States, for example, the shallow continental shelf slows downs waves dramatically.

As guest of honor at Albuquerque’s 10th Annual Solar Fi-esta last weekend, the sun made a strong enough appearance to power a solar oven over 20 feet tall.

New Mexico is exposed to about 7.5 kilowatts of solar en-ergy per square meter every day, according to a 2004 report from the Center for Electric and Hydrogen Technologies and Systems, and it looks like Albuquerqueans are getting serious about harnessing that power.

Hundreds of people � ocked to the � esta on Sept. 26 and 27 to see about 80 booths with dozens of solar gadgets and informational brochures.

One of the exhibits came from UNM’s electrical and com-puter engineering department. Lecturer Olga Lavrova said she and a few students went to tell people about their solar car, which they plan to enter in the 2010 North American So-lar Challenge.

“� ese are the future renewable energy engineers,” Lavro-va said. “I think for UNM, we have no excuse for not partici-pating in this challenge. All the other competitors are from Minnesota, California, and we have most of the sun so we have no excuse for not being put on the map.”

� e challenge has two parts, Lavrova said. � e � rst part is on a racetrack to see which car can drive the most laps.

“And then there’s a road race, which is the endurance race and you go from Tulsa, Okla. to Chicago,” she said.

Another exhibitor at the � esta was the Colorado-based National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Renewable Energy and E� ciency Education on Wheels coordinator Rick Shin said the laboratory is one of 16 national labs working for the Department of Energy.

“Of the data that I’ve seen, New Mexico is up in the top for states using renewable (energy),” Shin said. “Solar is big and so is wind. I think you have a governor and a state that is behind renewable energy. Some states have a di� cult go be-cause they have a lot of resistance from the administrations in their states, but some states still manage to get through that.”

Shin said he has hope for the renewable energy move-ment because states that have invested in the oil industry still have renewable energy potential.

“As big as the oil lobby would be in Texas, they still have a lot of wind power they use there,” he said. “I think people now realize that renewable is going to be the way to go and that fossil fuels and nonrenewable energies are not going to be around forever, so we have to do something and it’s better that we start doing it now rather than later.”

One of the on-wheels laboratory’s displays was a thin, foldable solar mat that the military uses in the � eld. � e mat can recharge communication equipment or a laptop, Shin said.

� e UNM Sustainability Studies Program also attended the � esta to demonstrate the use of solar-powered ovens and to dole out some useful information to students.

Lecturer Maggie Seeley said twice as many students have joined UNM’s sustainability program this semester.

“We cover solar and water conservation, genetically mod-i� ed organisms in your food, industrial agriculture, poverty, why some nations are rich and others are poor, and anything else that you can think of that has to do with sustainability, like green architecture,” Seeley said. “We just went from 30 students to 60 students just this semester.”

Student Gael Whettnall worked for the Sustainability Stud-ies Program’s booth at the � esta. Whettnall said the program helped him meet a group of like-minded people.

“Another aspect of my life that makes me more sustainable would be the community aspect, going out in the commu-nity, doing workshops, meeting di� erent people in the com-munity,” he said. “I have my own vegetable garden, I have my own compost pile, I monitor my electricity use and switched all my light bulbs.”

by Chris QuintanaDaily Lobo

“Zombieland,” directed by Ru-ben Fleischer, has all the great makings of a zombie � lm: zombies, survivors killing the zombies with shotguns and cars, and more zom-bies to take their fallen comrades’ places.

� e � ick succeeds in character development, top-notch visual ef-fects and zombie-based dark hu-mor, so it’s forgivable that the mov-ie lacks a strong story and tries too hard to be quirky.

Fleischer immediately immers-es the viewer in the zombie-� lled world, starting the � lm with rap-id shots of zombies chasing down and devouring humans in a foun-tain of blood and entrails.

� e beginning suggests a non-stop kill fest, but the � lm quickly shifts its focus to the protagonist, Columbus, played by Jesse Eisen-berg, and his fellow zombie survi-vor Tallahassee, played by Woody Harrelson, as they voyage across the country while fending o� zombies.

Eventually, the duo meets Wich-ita and Little Rock, two sisters who are also making their way across the country to California.

It seems writers Rhett Reese and

Paul Wernick spent a lot of time creating plausible characters, be-cause the protagonists survive by means of their personalities rather than by luck, which is the norm in other zombie � icks.

Tallahassee survives because he hates the zombies for killing his son. Wichita and Little Rock sur-vive because before the disease outbreak they were con artists and always distrustful of others.

And watching these diverse characters interact is one of the great pleasures of “Zombieland.” Whether they are destroying a rest stop to enjoy the “little things” or sharing a road trip and screaming at each other about the driving, they’re ludicrously funny.

However, with a heavy focus on characters, the story line often seems direction-less.

For example, one scene involves

a cameo from Bill Murray who gets shot in the chest while pretend-ing to be a zombie. While this is possibly the best cameo of the year and the scene is hilarious, its rele-vance to the main story is unclear.

� en again, the main story is that the characters are heading to California in search of a Twinkie.

� e viewer often forgets that the world is overrun by zombies un-til Columbus, via a heavy-handed voice-over, reminds everyone that the protagonists are still in danger. � e voice-over is just one example of how “Zombieland,” like many other Hollywood � lms, nearly forc-es odd elements into the plot, in an e� ort to be as original as “Juno”

by Alisha CatanachDaily Lobo

Mark Mallman, famed for his exciting live shows, plays a key-board that might as well be an electric guitar.

Mallman said his live shows display his wild side and get the crowd involved.

“My album is almost like a blue-print for a really crazy insane asy-lum,” he said. “You can map out and build an insane asylum, but it doesn’t really become anything until you put the people in it.”

The Minneapolis native has toured the country 23 times and opened for bands like Of Montreal, Donovan, and Cat Power, accord-ing to his Web site.

Mallman will stop at Burt’s Tiki Lounge on Monday to perform songs from his new album Invin-cible Criminal.

Mallman said his music fuses 70s and 80s rock-inspired tunes that have a pop-rock feel to them and incorporate qualities of Ar-cade Fire and David Bowie.

Mallman said he also composes music for movies.

He worked on music for the trailers of major motion pictures “10,000 B.C.” and “Wall-E.” He’s also composed the musical scores of feature-length films including “Living Arrangements” and “The Curse of the Demon.”

Mallman said the great-est source of his musical inspi-ration is his previous album,

The Audio Book, a parody of the novella The Metamorphosis. It in-corporates existentialist and ab-surdist philosophy, he said.

His newest album is less deep and more about partying, caus-ing chaos, and pretending to rob banks, Mallman said.

Mallman said he is serious about recording and writing songs, but when he goes on stage, a dif-ferent person takes over.

“When I’m on stage I go crazy and don’t have to hide it anymore,” he said.

Mallman’s drummer Aaron Lemay said their live shows always bring out fans who want to listen to some funky new music.

“The live show is so much dif-ferent than the record,” Lemay said. “The live show is more cha-os, the record is more structured. Anything goes on stage.”

The album incorporates the synthesizer to produce poppy, ret-ro sounds that are reminiscent of the 80s, Mallman said.

“I’m on this vision quest to write the greatest pop songs I can, but it’s not Top 40,” he said. “What I do is an experiment.”

LOBO REVIEW

Keyboardist fuses styles in thrilling live shows

and “Adventureland.”Graphical elements like the

protagonist’s thoughts written on screen are fun at � rst but are ulti-mately distracting.

� e � lm also features a preco-cious 12-year-old who is clearly smarter than the adults, à la “Lit-tle Miss Sunshine” and “500 Days of Summer.” � is sort of character has become a mainstream element and is no longer a creative stroke of genius.

It’s disappointing to see Fleisch-er still shoving these quirky tricks into a � lm to make it seem unique.

Fleischer does manage to im-bue the � lm with some original-ity thanks to the zombie elements. Like any zombie � ick, the undead creatures are covered in blood and have a lust for human � esh, but these zombies also possess a

human touch. � ey can get fat if they eat too much, and they have the uncanny knowledge that peo-ple are most vulnerable when they’re sitting on the toilet.

Plus, the zombie kills are some of the best. � ere’s one with a rub-ber mallet, another with a steel banjo to the face, and still anoth-er with a lid from a toilet tank. � e deaths, while soaked with an un-due amount of gore, are hilarious, and each one always outdoes the last.

Overall, “Zombieland” is the de� nition of a fun movie. While viewers looking for coherency might be disappointed, the � lm will engage everyone else with horrify-ing and comedic zombie moments and deep, sensible characters that will leave the audience’s own lust for zombie action satis� ed.
