EMERGENCY TOWERS ON CAMPUS

A
s the victim of an on-campus stabbing lied unconscious in a hospital bed, gauze taped over her jugular and a tube inflating her punctured lung, her sister drove slowly through the alleyways near the Anthropology Building. The sister, Kelly, was searching for somebody who could help her understand what had happened the night of Feb. 15, 2010. She implored dark streets west of campus for answers. “I would leave the hospital and just go up and down the streets,” Kelly said. “I would drive down the alley. I would obsessively drive around the neighborhood looking for some suspicious stranger.” One year and two days after her sister’s neck was slashed in two places, Kelly has stopped this futile surveillance, and she’s given up hope that the assailant will be caught. “No, I don’t have any hope. I had to let that go,” she said. “At one point, I was really obsessed with making sure the police found him. I felt like that was the only way that (the victim) and the rest of us would get closure, but I finally realized that that just wasn’t going to happen.”

Low turnout leaves campus areas unwatched by Shannon Alexander sralex2@gmail.com
U
NM organized a campus safety walk Tuesday night, but officials said they were disappointed by the low turnout. More than 75 students, faculty and staff attended the event, but Rob Burford, from the Dean of Students Office, said about 100 students attended last year. He said more students probably attended the walk last year because it was in the wake of an on-campus stabbing. “I think there was more attention to last year’s walk because of the unfortunate circumstance last spring,” he said. “However, I was still disappointed with the turnout given all of the media publicity.” When student participation is low, the entire campus can’t be patrolled. In past years, only main campus has been covered, and the north and south campuses have been neglected. Buford said, in the future, he would like to have enough students to cover main, north and south campuses. Students were asked to focus on four main areas: lighting, the presence of blue lights, crosswalks and other safety issues, such as uneven pavement or construction sites. They filled out forms highlighting the dangerous campus areas. Grandon Goertz, from the Safety

iven the vast UNM campus, students could walk into a dangerous situation without an emergency blue light in sight. Melissa Martin, a participant in Tuesday night’s UNM Safety Walk, said main campus might not be well-equipped to assist a person fleeing a hostile situation. “This is totally scary,” she said. “If I had to run away from someone, it would be really hard to find (a blue light). I’m eager to see when we find a blue light at this point.” During orientation, UNM officials tell incoming freshmen that a blue light should be visible from the 60 emergency phones on main campus, but this is not the case in many high-traffic areas. For instance, there is no emergency blue light visible from the front door of the Anthropology Building, where a student was stabbed last year. “I don’t even see the blue light

Reports submitted to the work order system can’t be removed until they have been repaired. Goertz said that safety concerns from last semester’s walk were completed promptly. “Maintenance here attacks these problems fairly quickly,” he said. “From the last campus walk, around 80 percent were done within three weeks.” The Campus Safety Walk was canceled in 2006 because of low student turnout. The walks began again last spring when a student was stabbed on campus outside of the Anthropology Building. The walks occur every semester, but some students do not know this. Students Tony Hernandez and Skyler Sanders said that they hadn’t heard about the walk last semester, but they heard about the stabbing last spring, and that’s why they participated. Burford said the University should publish records of the changes made because of the walks. “It would be nice if we could get more input back and see what’s been done so students could see the fruits of their labors,” he said. Sanders said he wondered if students’ participation in the walks had any effect. He said knowing this would increase student participation. “If you see results, then you see, ‘Oh, it’s working,’” he said. “I think more people would come.”

Stabbing

And more than a year after the attack, the victim, who asked her name not be printed for security, has resumed an essentially normal life. She’s back at her campus job after a three-month leave and completed her seven-month, threetimes-a-week regimen of doctor visits and physical therapy. She’s even back in the same music class with the same professor, Dan Davis, who watched, horrified, as she stumbled into the Anthropology Building clutching her neck and shouting for help one year ago. It’s still an evening class, but it meets in nearby Dane Smith Hall. The prospect of returning to class after almost a year made the woman nervous and fearful, she said. She tried enrolling in an evening class last semester but became anxious walking to class, so she quickly dropped it. “I was a person that was really fearless, if not careless, about the world,� she said. “I am a strong woman. I always thought people that over-thought things, danger at night, were a little over the top. What has become really clear to me is that none of us, until it really, truly affects your life, can ever have the reality of those issues sink in.� It took almost the entire year, but the victim said she’s mostly gotten over her fears of being alone after dark. “It really was in just the last month or two that I stopped being fearful in the dark at night and having total anxiety just getting out of my car alone to get into my house,� she said. “The reality for me now is that there are not-so-nice people that are willing to do not-so-nice things.� To deter not-so-nice people, the woman clipped a small can of mace to her keychain and added locks and a security system to her downtown home. Those close to her said she doesn’t talk to strangers anymore. A faded, 8-inch scar stretches from her collarbone to underneath her jawbone. The attack resulted in her left eye being slightly droopy — her “googly� eye, as she calls it — and her voice gets raspy now and again because of vocal cord damage. Her problems with shortness of breath ended about two months ago. The victim and her friends and family, however, said they haven’t gotten over feeling ignored and stifled during the subsequent investigation into the near-fatal stabbing. ‘A centimeter in either direction’ The victim’s sister, Kelly, can rattle off three or four frustrations she had with the way UNMPD handled the assault on her sister: the officers’ poor attitudes, slowness to react and inattention to detail, for example. But what most angers Kelly, the victim and her friends and family was what they perceived as an effort on behalf of UNM and its police department to downplay the severity of her sister’s injuries. “They were treating it like a mugging when a centimeter in either direction it would have been a murder,� Kelly said. UNMPD spokesman Robert Haarhues told the press shortly after the stabbing that the victim was in “satisfactory� condition at UNM Hospital, but Kelly said no officers visited her sister’s hospital room that night or the following morning. Haarhues did not respond to phone calls this week, but UNMPD issued a statement Wednesday evening saying that the investigation was still open and welcoming information that could lead to an arrest. “The stabbing incident on the UNM campus was a violent crime against a person,� the statement reads. “This was a crime that rocked the campus community because of the serious nature of the victim’s wounds and the randomness of the
crime. UNM Police immediately directed all resources toward solving this crime.â€? UNM spokeswoman Karen Wentworth said UNMPD officers responded to the best of their ability. “They thought they were responding completely,â€? she said. Shortly after the stabbing, UNM hosted several campus safety walks for students, during which a group of students and staff patrolled the campus at night looking for burnedout light bulbs, overgrown shrubs and places that could use more light fixtures. The University also held a safety walk Tuesday night. Cheo Torres, vice president for Student Affairs, told the Daily Lobo in August that the University replaced between 95 and 99 percent of burned-out light bulbs on campus. “We want our students to be 100 percent safe,â€? he said. Also, then-ASUNM Vice President Mike Westervelt, who was in the music appreciation class with the victim when she was attacked, proposed improving lighting around the Anthropology Building. No new lighting fixtures have been installed near the building, and few blue emergency towers are in the area. This lack of safety improvement over the year is frustrating, the victim said. “It’s great to hear that they had another walk last night, but at the same time, we had a walk a year ago right after it happened, and what were the results? What were the walks accomplishing?â€? she said. â€œâ€Ś It makes me really, really disappointed that it’s not more well lit.â€? ‘And a little sadder’ When the victim came to the conclusion months ago that her assailant would probably never be caught, she started to think of it as a mixed blessing. The man who put her through months of suffering, both physical and emotional, still roams the streets, which she said frightens her and prevents her from becoming a spokeswoman for campus safety. But if he isn’t caught, the victim doesn’t have to go through a long and tortuous court process, and she never has to see his face. “I didn’t see a face. I didn’t see a weapon, and I didn’t hear a voice,â€? she said. “I knew from the moment I woke up from anesthesia that that was to my benefit. ‌ As much as I want this person to be caught, I know that it would really mean tackling a whole side of this that I haven’t had to, which would be having a face to put to it all.â€? Though she’s not haunted by the assailant’s voice and likeness, the victim’s friends and family said she they saw a change in her after the attack. “She’s the same girl, but a lot more tentative and a little sadder,â€? longtime friend Jim Roberts said. “When something like this happens to you, it just shakes your whole world up.â€? Her sister said the victim is still getting past emotional trauma that complicates her life. “She definitely has some emotional scarring, and I think she’s dealt with it better than most people would have, but it just kind of adds a weight to everyday problems,â€? she said. Shortly after the attack, the victim said it was therapeutic to return to the Anthropology Building every once in a while. “Part of my healing, I think, was to revisit that scene,â€? she said. “The first time was so hard because there were still blood stains on the cement and tape up, but it was part of the process about feeling better on campus again. In the last year, I’ve just kind of driven by it, just sat outside and had some strange profound moments, sitting out in my car in front of that building.â€?

that is closest to us right now. It is nowhere,� Martin said. “You should be able to see one from anywhere on campus so you can get to safety in an emergency situation.� UNMPD spokesman Robert Haarhues said his office checks the blue light phones once a month to make sure they work. He said the phones were installed years ago, and that campus police does not have much interaction with them. “We respond to them, and we check them, but we don’t really know that much about them,� he said. Haarhues said campus officers treat blue light calls like a 911 emergency call. He said UNM does not keep record of the calls it receives from the blue lights, but UNMPD receives about one call a week from the phones and few emergency calls. “Some people just call wanting directions,� he said. “They’re more for peace of mind. We don’t get a lot of emergency calls on them, which is a good thing.� Still, the blue light’s placement was a concern for participants during the safety walk, especially areas around Dane Smith Hall, the Duck Pond east of Zimmerman to the SRC’s and Marron Hall. “Are there places that would be considered unsafe around this building?� Safety Assessor Victoria Dimas said. “Yes, absolutely.� Dimas said she had to fill out the evaluation sheet for campus safety issues with a flashlight because of nonexistent outdoor lighting.  “The Duck Pond is such a popular area,� she said. “It concerns me that there are so little lights present. It is really poorly lit out here.�

Letter Despite history of dictators, Arab countries want freedom Editor, Through its human and intellectual mass, Egypt became the heart and center of the contemporary Arab world. Since 1952, Egypt has been setting the social, religious and political trends for the rest of the Arab world. When dictatorship precipitated a dark fog of misery in Egypt, the rest of the Arab world was engulfed by it as well. Suddenly, like the triumph of David over Goliath, a handful of peaceful anonymous youths, without any known common social, religious, or political affiliations, managed to turn off this dark fog machine. It first happened in Tunisia and then in Egypt. They succeeded where old, better-organized parties ranging from the religious to the nationalist failed to accomplish for two generations. It is fair to say that the seeds of this revolutionary hurricane sweeping the region started with the unprecedented but unsuccessful Iranian youths’ uprising after the tainted 2009 Iranian elections. There, a new generation of educated, disenfranchised youths, pioneered the use of information technology, made possible by the Internet, as a potent weapon to drive a repressive regime to shoot itself and self-destruct. Some are concerned that the Muslim Brotherhood may hijack this triumph to form an Iranian-like theocracy. Should that materialize, the Egyptian people, having gained the confidence to stand up to dictatorships, will topple that outcome as well. The more probable scenario is a Turkishlike democracy. In Turkey, the ruling Justice and Development party which won two elections, evolved from a Muslim Brotherhoodinspired Islamist party called Fazilet Partisi. If the Muslim Brotherhood reforms along similar lines, then that is significant progress. There is a spreading consensus in the Muslim world that mixing politics and religion is a recipe for disaster that brings nothing but harm to Islam and the Muslims. Some people circulate old falsehoods, like Muslims cannot handle democracy, despite that 75 percent of the 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide live under democracies. Then there is the new argument that a democratic Arab world is bad for Israel. Everybody knows that an affluent house in the midst of a poor and miserable neighborhood is less secure than a house surrounded by affluence. How is keeping millions of Arabs neighboring Israel in the shackles of hopelessness and misery better for Israel? A rarely mentioned fact is that 20 percent of Israeli citizens are Palestinian Arabs who have been content and productive citizens of Israel. The only difference between those Palestinians and the Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank is the degree of freedom and affluence that they enjoy. America has been a beacon of freedom for the rest of the world. It would be a criminal betrayal to America to turn off this beacon just because a distressed ship is inhabited by Muslims. Freedom is always good for all, because the collective wisdom of a nation is greater than the narrow wisdom of few egotistical dictators. Sami Shakir UNM alumnus

What’s the Internet’s address?
“This may be the future of the Internet.”
by Chris Quintana Culture Editor
Imagine buying a home, but the realtor explains that you have to share a phone number with your neighbor. Unfortunately, all digit combinations in the traditional 10-digit system have been used, and in the meantime, you have to share a phone line, which wouldn’t be so bad, but your neighbor gets a lot of calls. It becomes nearly impossible for you to get a word in edgewise. This may be the future of the Internet. In the same way that the United States used to be on a six-digit system that quickly filled up, the Internet is a 32-digit system, called IPv4, and it’s full. It works like this: Every time a computer accesses the Internet, it does so with an Internet protocol, or as they are more commonly referred to, IP addresses. Without them, computers cannot communicate with one another. Every computer generally does this with a unique series of number, like 64.106.114.186. In turn, these addresses are assigned by Internet service providers, ISP, and generally there are enough IPs. However, the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers said Feb. 3 that of at least 4 billion possible IP addresses, all of them had been assigned. Rod Beckstrom, ICANN’s president and chief executive officer, said in a news release that this is a major turning point in the Internet’s ongoing development. “No one was caught off guard by this,” he said. “The Internet technical community has been planning for IPv4 depletion for some time.” A bit of clarification: ICANN assigns IPs to ISPs. Some places like Stanford University have more IPs than China. Vanessa Baca, spokeswoman for UNM’s IT department, said UNM has 100,000 IPs. Some 55,000 are in use at any given time. “The University is not in an emergency situation in terms of IP address shortages at this time,” she said. But there’s no reason it will remain that way. When the IP addresses system was developed in the 70s, there was no reason to suspect that four billion addresses wouldn’t be enough, but that was before the emergence of wireless technologies that connect to the Internet beyond computers. Smart phones, game systems, printers, televisions and even some cars all can connect to the Internet and each, under current standards of operations, requires its own IP addresses. Throw in the fact that most Americans own at least several wireless devices, and it’s easy to see that 4 billion addresses won’t cut it. But there is a solution, and it functions in the same way as adding an extra digit, but in the case of the Internet connection, you add 96 of them. “The new Internet protocol, IPv6, will
“The University is not in an emergency situation in terms of IP address shortages at this time.” ~Vanessa Baca IT Spokeswoman open up a pool of Internet addresses that is a billion-trillion times larger than the total pool of IPv4 addresses (about 4.3 billion),” Beckstrom said. “Which means the number of IPv6 addresses is virtually inexhaustible for the foreseeable future.” The new IPv6 will operate off a 128-digit system, and most current wireless devices have the capacity to run on it. However, switching to the new system will cost ISPs a hefty amount of cash. “UNM plans to transition to IPv6 sometime in the near future,” Baca said. “As the University is in a budget shortfall situation, however, it is not certain when the transition to IPv6 will happen.” The switch requires a shift in formatting and the way the Internet is accessed. Think about it again with the phone metaphor. The switch from six to seven digits required one extra number for every phone call made, but the new Internet system will require computers to locate another 96 additional digits. Granted, this problem is easily solved with software that automatically locates IPs, and the change to get there is drastic but necessary, Baca said. “The expected transition to IPv6 will also contribute to UNM maintaining a high level of consistent, readily available network performance,” she said.

NMSO enrolls in payment plan by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu
The New Mexico Symphony Orchestra and Popejoy Hall have put past grievances behind them and are ready to work together to solve the $245,000 debt NMSO owes Popejoy. Ruth Silva-Hernandez, interimpresident of NMSO, and Tom Tkach, director of Popejoy, held a news conference in the Popejoy lobby on Wednesday afternoon. Tkach said the University is trying to be patient with NMSO. “It’s more important for us to have a symphony than to just resolve the debt right away and then have no symphony,” he said. Silva-Hernandez said the symphony orchestra is facing financial problems, but couldn’t give specific numbers at the moment. She said they are working on bringing in other income for the symphony, such as new donors and payment plans. “I think we’re all struggling,” she said. “The University is a business and has to make ends meet, and I
think this economy has been hard on all of us. We just have to learn how to work together … and have no problems working together. And we are working very hard to be here next year and years to come.”
“It’s more important for us to have a symphony than to just resolve the debt right away and then have no symphony.”” ~Tom Tkach Popejoy Director Tkach said NMSO is now on a monthly payment plan to help pay the debt it owes the University. “The symphony has been very good about a payment plan, where they have been paying back the University weekly, as far as payments,” Tkach said.
Tkach said NMSO and Popejoy are working out how NMSO will pay for the space next season. He said the rental fee for Popejoy Hall is $3,200, which doesn’t cover shuttles and stagehand help. “We want the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra to succeed,” he said. “We think it’s really important for the state to have a viable symphony orchestra to serve our community for many, many years.” Silva-Hernandez said the symphony is also restructuring as an organization to try and save money and to work with the University. “Well (Tkach) is making the adjustments that he needs to make in terms of bringing the shows that will fill his revenue expectations for the University, and we’re also trying to accommodate our dates and try to see how we can fit into a viable model that will fit with the University,” Silva-Hernandez said. Tkach said Popejoy Hall will not give away NMSO’s performance dates. “We’re going to work with them no matter what happens,” he said.

Teachers fight for unions by Scott Bauer Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. — Thousands of teachers, students and prison guards descended on the Wisconsin Capitol on Wednesday to fight a move to strip government workers of union rights in the first state to grant them more than a half-century ago, but it cleared a major legislative hurdle without the changes they sought. The Statehouse filled with as many as 10,000 demonstrators who chanted, sang the national anthem and beat drums for hours in demonstrations unlike any seen in Madison in decades. The noise in the rotunda rose to the level of a chainsaw, and many Madison teachers joined the protest by calling in sick in such numbers that the district — the state’s second-largest — had to cancel classes. The new Republican governor, Scott Walker, is seeking passage of the nation’s most aggressive antiunion proposal, which was moving swiftly through the GOP-led Legislature. The body’s budget committee passed the bill on a partisan vote just before midnight, clearing the way for the Senate and Assembly to vote on it starting Thursday. Several opponents in the crowd broke down into tears just before the committee’s approval. “I’m sad. Scared. Disappointed,” Kelly Dzurick, a 31-year-old fifthgrade teacher in Elkhorn, said as she walked out of the rotunda when it was clear the committee would pass the bill. “Nobody’s listening to what people say.” Democrats were unable to stop it. “The story around the world is the rush to democracy,” said Sen. Bob Jauch, D-Poplar. “The story in Wisconsin is the end of the democratic process.” If passed by the Legislature, the move would mark a dramatic shift for Wisconsin, which passed a comprehensive collective bargaining law in 1959 and was the birthplace of the national union representing all non-federal public employees. “It is momentous and I think people around the state are going to welcome it,” said Sen. Alberta Darling, co-chair of the budget committee. As protesters chanted “Recall Walker now!” outside the governor’s office, Walker insisted he has the votes to pass the measure, which he says is needed to help balance a
projected $3.6 billion budget shortfall and avoid widespread layoffs. Walker said he appreciated protestors’ concerns, but taxpayers “need to be heard as well.” He said he would not do anything to “fundamentally undermine the principles” of the bill. “We’re at a point of crisis,” the governor said. In an interview with Milwaukee television station WTMJ, President Barack Obama said he was monitoring the situation in Madison and acknowledged the need for budget cuts. But, he said, pushing public employees away from the bargaining table “seems like more of an assault on unions.” As the bill appeared ready to advance, tensions rose in the Capitol. Police roamed the halls, restricted access to some rooms and stood watch outside the governor’s office. The crowd swelled early in the evening as the budget committee prepared to start taking votes, with boos and screams filling the rotunda as Republican supporters of the bills talked. Republican-backed changes made to the bill would extend a grievance procedure to public workers who don’t have one and require more oversight and put a deadline on changes Walker’s administration can make to the Medicaid program and the sale of public power plants. In addition to eliminating collective bargaining rights, the legislation also would make public workers pay half the costs of their pensions and at least 12.6 percent of their health care coverage — increases Walker calls “modest” compared with those in the private sector. More than 13,000 protesters gathered at the Capitol on Tuesday for a 17-hour public hearing on the measure. Thousands more came Wednesday. “I’m fighting for my home and my career,” said Virginia Welle, a 30-year-old teacher at Chippewa Falls High School. She said she and her husband, who also is a teacher, each stand to lose $5,000 a year in higher pension and health care contributions. Welle said she never could get that money back since the unions would be unable to bargain over benefits under Walker’s plan. The protests have been larger and more sustained than any in Madison in decades. Dozens of protesters spent the night in sleeping bags on the floor of the Rotunda. A noise monitor in the Rotunda registered 105 decibels at midday Wednesday
— about as loud as a power mower or chainsaw. Beyond the Statehouse, more than 40 percent of the 2,600 unioncovered teachers and school staff in Madison called in sick. No widespread sickouts were reported at any other school. On Wednesday night, the head of the 98,000-member statewide teachers union called on all Wisconsin residents to come to the Capitol for the Thursday votes in the Senate and Assembly. More than a dozen districts — including Madison for a second day — canceled Thursday classes, which was expected to swell the number of protesters. Prisons, which are staffed by unionized guards who would lose their bargaining rights under the plan, were operating without any unusual absences, according to a Department of Corrections spokeswoman.

Robert Maes / Daily Lobo A scale model of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, designed by Antoine Predock, is the structural backing for the museum that will be built in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is set to be completed next year and projected to cost $310 million.
ARCHITECTURE’S ALCHEMIST Predock gave rousing talk to promote art exhibit by Andrew Beale abeale@unm.edu
World-renowned architect Antoine Predock has a sense of humor about his work. At a presentation he gave Tuesday inside George Pearl Hall, which Predock designed, he showed a photograph of the building and the Frontier Restaurant across the street. “Anybody who saw that, which would they like better? The big, scary-ass modern building?” Predock asked the packed lecture hall, which responded with a chorus of laughter. “That’s fine,” he said. “I like the Frontier better myself.” George Pearl Hall was built on a “cheapo” budget, Predock said during the presentation, and later reaffirmed this to the Daily Lobo. He said that he used his monetary constraints as an excuse to leave electrical wires and other internal elements of the building exposed. “I like the way that the building tells a story of construction,” he said. “It’s just a naked building. And there are two reasons for that. One is for reasons of instructional authenticity, but also money.” Predock’s presentation coincides with the opening of “Roadcut: The Architecture of Antoine Predock,” an exhibit at the UNM Art Museum. Predock attended UNM as an
architecture student and has put in more than 40 years of architectural work. He’s the recipient of prizes, including the American Institute of Architects’ Gold Medal, one of the most prestigious awards in the architecture community. He designed buildings in Albuquerque, including Bratton Hall at the Law School and the Albuquerque Museum. The exhibit, like Predock’s lecture and his buildings, incorporate elements of the surreal and the chaotic. A display case in the “Roadcut” exhibit offers an example of Predock’s style. It contains seemingly random objects, like a Day Pass to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a catcher’s mitt with Predock’s name stitched into it, presumably a souvenir from Predock’s work designing the San Diego Padres’ ballpark. In the presentation Predock gave, he connected seemingly random elements to the work of architecture, telling the audience his work is influenced by everything from the jet streams of fighter planes to the imposing walls of Chaco Canyon. He said Southwestern landscapes, like Chaco Canyon, have always had a huge affect on architecture. “Architecture is landscape in drag,” he said. “New Mexico architecture is about big walls. Big, unapologetic, nasty, in-your-face walls.”
“New Mexico architecture is about big walls. Big, unapologetic, nasty, in-your-face walls.” ~Antoine Predock Architect

And these walls were a guiding theme in his work on George Pearl Hall, he said. Predock then chastised the architecture students in the audience for their failure to make creative use of the walls, which he views as an opportunity for expression. “Why don’t you use my walls for projections?” he asked, and someone shouted a reply: “They locked us out!” But Predock didn’t accept the excuse. “You’re lame! You’re obviously lame!” he yelled, seemingly only half in jest. “I worked my ass off to bring that to you, and you don’t use it!” If it seems like the presentation wasn’t really about the technical side of architecture, that’s because Predock didn’t intend it to be. He was more interested in connecting other artistic and cultural influences to the discipline of architecture — like comparing

Architect from PAGE 6 the art of dance to the discipline of designing a building. “Anything’s performance. This is performance tonight,” he said. “It’s not about architecture. It’s just a chance for me to spout off in front of a captive audience.” And a performance it was, sort of like an improvised stand-up comedy routine with a shifting background slide show of random stuff that interests Predock. There was, of course, plenty of audience interaction, and even a
guest celebrity — Don Schlegel, one of Predock’s early mentors at UNM. Predock took the opportunity to single him out as he entered the auditorium about 15 minutes late and sat on the staircase after failing to find a seat. “(Schlegel) was a professor that would say, ‘Get the hell out of architecture! Dumb shit!’ He kicked me out of UNM … I just saw him walk in,” Predock said, shining a laser pointer above Schlegel’s head. “Roadcut,” too, is about
more than just blueprints. The exhibit features sketches, collages, and two actual motorcycles — a Vincent Black Shadow and a Ducati, like the one Predock was riding when he crashed and broke his collarbone last week, forcing him to give his presentation with his left arm in a sling. Motorcycles were a recurring theme in the presentation, and he referenced journalist Hunter S. Thompson, taking issue with Thompson’s assertion that, “If
you rode the Black Shadow at top speed for any length of time, you would almost certainly die.” “I’m still alive,” Predock said. “(Thompson) wrote a lot about Vincent Black Shadows, but he didn’t know squat about them. You can tell he never actually rode one.” Predock ended his presentation on the theme of injury, showing a picture of himself skiing and pondering aloud why he continues to practice the sport.
“I don’t wanna get hurt. It really hurts when you break your ribs,” he said. “But whatever keeps me doing that is what makes me keep doing architecture.”

Hip hop hoedown gets classy by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu
What started in an alleyway in the international district is now one of the Southwest’s highestattended beatbox/dance battle shows. From its ramshackle roots, Breakin’ Hearts, in its ninth year, has found a more-permanent location at 508 Warehouse, and attendance has averaged about 1,000, co-founder Cyrus Gould said. “We started in a venue where you had to enter through an alley, and it was in a shady neighborhood,” he said. The event is now classier, Gould said, featuring a performance, contest and workshops to entertain people with diverse interests. As in the past, the event will host a B-boy and B-girl battle (breaking dancing for those unfamiliar with the lingo) and a beatbox battle. Justin Hood, 508 Warehouse’s program coordinator, said he was

He said the event mixes hip hop’s roots and future. “We’ve had African dance, capoeira and Aztec dancers,” he said. “This year we’ve got a KungFu performance ... Kung-Fu is one of the origins of break-dancing.” Gould said this year’s Breakin’ Hearts will have a professional dance floor and bleachers. He said there is a two-story mural made by about 12 artists who have worked on it every Saturday since January. “On the side of the building … there was a huge mural of topless women and the American flag,” Gould said. “So, I have been envisioning covering that crap with a positive message.”

He said he will perform with a poet, turntables and a partial band to show how hip hop can navigate musical spectrums. “It’s kind of my dream team of artists on one stage in one of the greatest nights of hip hop in Albuquerque,” Hood said. “We’re going to have violin samples, with piano, live bass, live drums. ... It’s kind of like a hip hop orchestra.” Unlike the orchestra, though, the Breakin’ Hearts crowd is a diverse group, including senior citizens and children. The event offers all-ages activities, such as workshops on aerosol art, using turntables, “poppin’” (type of dance) and MC-ing. Workshops are free.
