In Master Plan, equine program faces relocation
Upset students prepare for Tuesday forum
Students have taken to social media sites in an effort to raise awareness and gather support against some of the proposed changes that will be delivered at Tuesday's Campus Master Plan Update Forum.
The issue of the equine program and university land use is at the center of what is expected to be a highly-debated forum on Tuesday, though a new center for the arts and graduate/family housing is also a part of the to-be-discussed master plan.
Paul Chamberlin, assistant vice president for energy and campus development, said while the master plan includes moving the equine program and possibly leasing the land, it would not eliminate any programs and the dairy barns would not be relocated.
"The new reality for public higher education is that we're going to have to figure out how to survive with little state support," he said. "So it's forcing us to look at some things that we may not have had to look at in the past. We're pushing the boundaries a little bit, but we need to do that. "
Chamberlin said that the master plan, which has been reviewed by President Mark Huddleston and his board of trustees, could use the land opened up from the possible relocation of the equine program for a number of uses ranging from student housing to private partnership to leasing for commercial development.
Critics of the plan say the issue they are upset with is that the plan would cut more agricultural land.
"UNH was established as an agricultural university and is a land-grant university," Kristin Bruce, a junior equine science major, said. "Because of that, we should be preserving our agriculture. If we build on that land, it's never going to get turned into farmland again."
In response to the plan, a Facebook event titled "The FINAL Open Forum on the UNH Master Plan of Beautiful Farmland Destruction" was created and had 300 "going" out of 2,000 invited as of Thursday night.
In addition, an online petition for those who "agree that the land should be preserved for agricultural research and education," was created. As of Thursday evening it had 600 online signatures.
Bruce said that proponents of the plan are trying to save money, but aren't taking into account the effect it will have on the program.
Loving the program would mean a loss of hay fields and force the equine program to purchase "significantly more" hay.
"That change in our budget would make it impossible to sustain our program," Sarah Hamilton, the director of the equine program, wrote on the program's Facebook page.
Burke said one of the big reasons that she and others in the program decided to come to UNH was because of the location of the barn. If that moved, she said, it would be tougher to recruit new members, and to continue the volunteer program that is currently in place.
Burke said that many students are able to volunteer in a therapeutic riding program because of how close the barn is relative to the rest of campus. Students, she said, are able to give an hour or two of their time in between classes, but if the program were stationed farther away, students wouldn't be able to do that.
"That's a huge draw for the university," Burke said. "We have students come from across the region because the barn is so close and they can bring their horses."
In a press release, student activist Alex Freid writes that students have expressed confusion and anger toward the plan.
"Students appear to be frustrated with the lack of awareness about these events as well as the lack of transparency on the Campus Master Plan website," he writes. "Many students are fearful of the fact that while these events are a step in the right direction to seeking student input and involvement, they are also appearing very late in the planning and decision-making process."
While Chamberlin conceded that he could have done better to explain why the changes were being made, he said discussions of this nature have existed since 1994, and that all involved parties have been well aware of the possibility.
Chamberlin said that there has been confusion about the plan. He received several phone calls and emails from people who thought that the program might be cut. He said that has not ever been on the table.
"I think there is misinformation that we were talking about moving the program to one of the farms out there," Chamberlin said. "We're talking about moving the program a little farther from campus. If and when we actually move the equine program, it will be no father than the dairy farms."
Burke said that she and her classmates understand that the program is not in jeopardy in the short term, but that the proposed move would go a long way in risking the future of the program.
"If they get rid of farmland, they're one step closer toward getting rid of it entirely," Burke said. "There is a history of removing agriculture here. We used to have sheep, pigs and poultry. We're down to just cows and horses now."
Chamberlin said that the university is not looking to sell the land that would be opened if the equine program were relocated. He said he would consider a number of options, but because they wanted to "preserve our options," they wouldn't be open to selling the land.
According to the campus master plan's website, the forum will also discuss a new location for the center for the arts. According to the plan, four on-campus sites have been chosen from an initial 12. The locations may displace parking and student housing.
The last part of the plan deals with graduate and family housing. Eleven sites were evaluated as places for possible expansion catering to graduate students. The most desirable locations are near B-Lot, providing easy access to the downtown shopping plaza.
Master plan updates are typically held once every 10 years. According to Chamberlin, the last one was held in 2004 when the current plan was adopted.
"I'm looking forward to the Tuesday discussion," Chamberlin said. "We as a community need to collectively make the best decisions we can."

Jocks, nerds, burnouts and stoners: The names may vary, but students at almost every high school know the labels.
A new show on MTV attempts to help students look past such stereotypes. The network hypes "If You Really Knew Me" as a real-life version of "The Breakfast Club."
Each episode focuses on a different school, where students go through a program called Challenge Day. They share experiences with each other in exercises designed to cut down on bullying and gossiping.
The cameras follow five students before, during and after the program. One self-professed jokester realizes how much his words hurt when he picks on an overweight student. Classmates are surprised when they hear a popular cheerleader talk about how she doesn't feel pretty or cool enough.
Another student, 18-year-old Leikin Poppino, attended Challenge Day last year at Freedom High School in Oakley, Calif., and said it works.
"It was such a positive experience," said Poppino. "It changed people for the better."
But a big question is whether the change lasts.
Freedom High had a "miraculous change" for about a week after the program, Poppino said. After that, the responsibility fell on those kids who took part to keep the momentum going.
"There would be moments when somebody would say something in class and it would be the kid who went through Challenge Day to say, 'Hey, you shouldn't say that or do that.'"
Students are surprisingly in touch with their emotions, said Sela Gaglia, who has worked for Challenge Day for 11 years.
Even when students are resistant, once they understand that the Challenge Day leaders are genuinely concerned, "the walls come down," Gaglia said.
Gaglia is optimistic about the impact the show could have on viewers and believes it will give hope to students who "really do believe that they're alone."
"If You Really Knew Me" airs Tuesdays at 11 p.m. Eastern.

Protect your Car
Paint and Fabric Protection
What is it?
Paint and fabric protectors create a long-lasting invisible barrier that protects your car both inside and out.
What does it do?
The Paint Sealant works in a unique way. It forms a hi-tech microfilm that bonds to your car's paintwork, preventing the accumulation of grime and repelling ultra-violet rays, pollution and acid rain.
In a similar way, fabric protector protects the fabric and carpet in your car by coating each fibre in a resin-based formula that shrugs off spillages and dirt, making them easy to remove. This invisible barrier reduces friction between the fibres, prolonging the life of the material while retaining their natural texture and appearance.
What are the benefits?
- The finish inside and out is guaranteed for three years.
- Eliminates the needs for waxing and polishing your car.
- Car wash friendly.
For more information click here to send us your details and a member of our team will contact you to discuss your protection options.

Experts say a terrorist leader's death will do little to stem the violence in Iraq.
"Zarqawi may be gone, but the conflagration that he set alight continues to burn." This quote in the New York Times from Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism scholar at Rand Corp., nicely sums up the expert reaction to the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi: It's a wonderful thing we got him, but the violence in Iraq is likely to continue unabated.
For one thing, Zarqawi's group, Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, wasn't an especially tightly knit organization — the name covered at least 60 separate terrorism teams that still have the capacity to fight on without Mr. Z in charge. As Hoffman put it, "He has already set in motion powerful forces that won't necessarily stop just because he is dead."
More important is the point the Brookings Institution's Ivo Daalder raises in TPM Cafe: Zarqawi and his group aren't the most important cause of violence in Iraq. "What we have in Iraq today — and have had for many, many months — is not a traditional insurgency or even wanton terrorism, but a large-scale sectarian conflict," Daalder points out. "Much of the killing in Iraq today isn't the result of Zarqawi's men, but of Sunni and Shite militias engaged in a big fight for control of neighborhoods, towns, cities, and the resources they control. The vast majority of the 1,400 bodies that showed up in the Baghdad morgue last month (that's right: 1,400 bodies — or nearly 50 people each and every day!) were killed by militias of one kind or another. The guys responsible for these deaths are not fighting an existing government (which is what an insurgency implies) but they're fighting to determine who governs Iraq and what spoils will fall to which group of Iraqis."
And then there's the other thing, blowback. Zarqawi is dead, but as we pointed out earlier, we didn't need to invade Iraq to get him. And by going into Iraq, how many more Zarqawis did we create?
In a long, timely profile of Zarqawi in the current issue of the Atlantic, one Arab jihadist says young men across the Middle East now dream of fighting the Americans as Zarqawi had. He tells the story of one boy: "He was from Saudi Arabia and had just turned thirteen. I noticed him in the crowd at a recruiting center near the Syrian-Iraqi frontier … The recruiters refused to take him because he was so young, and he started to cry. I went back later in the day, and this same small guy had sneaked aboard the bus. When they discovered him, he started to shout Allahu Akhbar! — 'God is most great!' They carried him off. He had $12,000 in his pocket — expense money his family had given him before he set off. 'Take it all,' he pleaded. 'Please, just let me do jihad.'"

Thousands of people flood downtown Grand Rapids, strolling around, looking at art, and generally enjoying the event, which is great! But, there are some general rules that should be followed while enjoying the art so that ArtPrize can be an enjoyable experience for everyone.
St. Cecilia Music Center is the official ArtPrize music hub for ArtPrize 2014.
St. Cecilia Music Center is again also organizing the ArtPrize music busking sites at public places, with expanded locations for this year.
The busking sites will be in action from Sept. 25 (Thursday) to Oct. 4.
Grand Rapids Civic Theatre and its School of Theatre Arts have combined on a special production for the inaugural American Association of Community Theatre's NewPlayFest.
"The Boatwright," the story of a retired Kansas state trooper who decides to build a sailboat to single-handedly traverse the Atlantic Ocean and the troubled neighbor who helps him, is on stage through Sunday at the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre.
Police in Wyoming have launched an investigation after sexually explicit pictures allegedly involving Grandville High School students surfaced on social media this past weekend.
The pictures show two individuals involved in a sexual act with several others gathered around watching. The posts have gone viral online with hundreds of thousands of tweets and responses.
Young adult movies are big business.
'The Maze Runner' took over the box office this weekend, proving that the audience for films were young people in science fiction dystopias are forced into violent and terrible predicaments extends beyond the 'Hunger Games' franchise.

Enterovirus D-68 is now in parts of Michigan, including right here in Kent County.
This is the extremely contagious respiratory illness that's making children and young adults sick in at least 22 states so far.
What had been a pretty slow month of September, movie-wise, is about to get a major jolt, with four new films hitting theaters this week. Here's a look at your suddenly bountiful choices:

Needless to say, the state Capitol is in a state of fluttering papers/utter mayhem right now.
It's hard enough to know what's going on in Sacramento when you're in Sacramento -- so way down here in La La Land, we're often groping around in the dark. There's really no way to tell which pointless, insane or just plain silly laws will be gutted and amended by state Legislators in these last few frantic seconds before session's end. But after poring through all the recently proposed and/or amended bills, we found a few...
... that reek to high heaven of special interests and reelection brownie points. It's hard to tell what some of these bills even mean, due to jargon and roundabout wordiness -- but the cagey language factor alone is enough to set off our BS censor.
So here you have them: The 10 stupidest California bills that Legislators are trying to slam through at final hour, in no particular order. (As if this state doesn't have enough stupid laws as it is.) Happy session, doofuses!10. Remove student test scores from teacher evaluations.
Meet Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes -- a Democrat from the Valley who L.A. Weekly has called the "The Worst Legislator in California," for his unquestioning habit of accepting and floating any old bill ghostwritten by a special-interest group. In the case of AB 5, that special interest is clearly the California Teachers Association, hell-bent on protecting its paying members from any sort of real job evaluation. (Specifically, job evaluation based on student test scores.) L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has ripped into the bill, saying it would "reverse the progress LAUSD has made in establishing a better system of teacher evaluation" and "prevent any opportunity for school districts, including LAUSD, to be granted funding flexibility from federal No Child Left Behind requirements." And Bill Lucia of EdVoice explains to the Silicon Valley Mercury-News that the bill "got hijacked by people who do not want to use data in a meaningful way to look at the job effectiveness of adults." How very Fuentes. For further reading, see L.A. Weekly education expert Patrick Range McDonald's "Will Felipe Fuentes and Gov. Jerry Brown Water Down Teachers' Evaluations?"
9. Prohibit acupuncturists from using the prefix "Dr."
Butt-hurt real doctors who spent years and hundreds of thousands of dollars on their medical degrees score a win with Senator Leland Yee's SB 628, which "would make it unprofessional conduct for an acupuncturist to use the title of 'Doctor' or use the abbreviation 'Dr.' in connection with the practice of acupuncture unless he or she holds a license authorizing that use or a specified degree. Thank god we got that cleared up.

MINNEAPOLIS - 2009: Leslie Frazier of the Minnesota Vikings poses for his 2009 NFL headshot at photo day in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by NFL Photos)
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier says going to Washington to face the Redskins this week doesn't offer any significant meaning to him or his team. Frazier says there is no advantage gleaned from the fact Minnesota has won in Washington each of the past two years, and FedEx Field was the site where Frazier earned his first head coaching victory when he took over from the fired Brad Childress midway through the 2010 season and won his first game as the interim Vikings' coach with a 17-13 win on the road against the Redskins. Another win this season, with Minnesota traveling to Washington for a Sunday afternoon game this week, would be important for one big reason. A win would keep the Vikings' streak and positive momentum going. Minnesota (4-1) was won three straight games and is tied atop the NFC North. The Redskins (2-3) are at the bottom of the NFC East.Here are five things to watch as the Vikings try to keep their FedEx Field winning streak...
