16-hour meeting held over $10 student fee hike by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
The Student Fee Review Board has recommended raising student fees by a little over $10 a year for full-time students. After more than 16 hours holed up in a basement classroom in George Pearl Hall this weekend, the Board emphasized fiscal responsibility when considering requests totaling more than $11 million in hopes of minimizing, and even eliminating, a student fee increase. Every program requesting student fees asked for increased funding over last year — a total requested increase of $1.5 million — and four groups asked for almost $200,000 in new money. When all was said and done, though, at 11:32 p.m. Saturday night, SFRB members were comparing the recommended increase to one or two cups of coffee at Starbuck’s. “We’ve done all of these awesome things for two Starbuck’s,” said Lissa Knudsen, GPSA president and SFRB chair. “It depends on if you get a caramel macchiato.” President David Schmidly and the Board of Regents still have to approve and, possibly, change the SFRB’s recommendations, but the proposed changes bring student fees to $457.38 a year per full-time student. Many of the recurring funding programs with additional funding sources — like Popejoy Hall and University libraries — asked for more student fee revenue because of income losses or increased expenses in other areas.
For example, University libraries are coping with an increase in the cost of E-Journals, so they requested almost $200,000 more from student fees over last year. “Why are we the orphanage for all the programs that need funding?” Knudsen asked at one point during the deliberations. Despite the increased need, the SFRB made an informal commitment to holding many of the programs to 2008-09 funding levels, often ignoring requests for increases for 2009-10. Representatives from New Mexico Public Interest Research Group sat through all of the SFRB’s deliberation to encourage the Board to give them about $85,000 of student fees — roughly 4 dollars a student — to hire full-time lobbyists. Jake Wellman, ASUNM attorney general and SFRB member, said he hoped funding NMPIRG would open the door for other student groups. However, members on the Board said they were concerned about paying a national organization with student money. So, the SFRB eventually awarded NMPIRG $49,362 to pay for the lobbyists. Students supporting a Queer Resource Center also attended the deliberations. Since the QRC would rely on student fees for the entirety of their start-up funding, the SFRB funded them in full — more than $83,000, or $4.01 per full-time student. The SFRB will meet again on Feb. 19 to discuss SFRB policy amendments and recommendations for each program allocated fees. Also, the SFRB approved

Sustainable agriculture student Travis McKenzie wasn’t swayed when people told him he should go to NMSU to study agriculture. McKenzie said he has been trying to organize a community garden on campus for the past four years. Inspired by Alex Borowski’s garden in the Hokona residence halls, McKenzie said he wants to help Borowski and other students bring a community garden to campus. “I think the dorms are a really great place to start,” he said. “Alex took the initiative to make the dorms sustainable.” Borowski, a freshman, planted a garden in the courtyard of Hokona Hall late last semester. However, the representatives from the Physical Plant Department informed Borowski last week that he had to remove the garden just as sprouts were emerging.

SFRB cuts fees from Athletics 2.2% by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
After contentious debate, the Student Fee Review Board decided to slightly cut Athletics funding. According to the unofficial SFRB worksheet, 2.2 percent of last year’s funding is being cut — more than $33,000, or $2.32 per full-time student. However, Athletics relies on about $1.5 million in student fees for just a little over 5 percent of its total budget. Also, because an enrollment increase is projected for next year, the amount of student fees going to Athletics could potentially increase, as more students equal more student fees. Before the deliberations, GPSA President and SFRB Chair Lissa Knudsen sent an e-mail addressed to “community leaders” cautioning the board against funding programs that didn’t directly relate to the University’s mission. “If we invest in programs which support education, we believe the state will see a return on our
investment,” she said in the e-mail. “I also believe that investing in programs which do not correlate with retention and graduation rates, in these economic times, would be fiscally irresponsible.” In a Jan. 29 special election, 86 percent of graduate and professional students voted to recommend that their student fees be diverted from Athletics. As a result, Knudsen suggested cutting the program as much as possible. “I believe that there are reasons that Athletics should be sent a message with regard to the way that they’ve been using the funding that they’ve been given,” she said. “We still do not have a clear understanding of where Student Fee Review Board money is going. We don’t have an itemized budget. We requested that, and I think the fact that they’re not complying with that request is grounds for probation.” The SFRB is only allowed, per their policy, to put a program on a 5 percent “probationary” cut. Knudsen cited the Sept. 20 Locksley/ Gerald altercation and perceived
Students ask for sustainable garden Since Borowski didn’t seek permission before planting his garden, PPD director Mary Vosevich said she was wary of the garden’s management. “We have concerns about the community garden just because of how it will be managed and what is being put in the garden — as far as are there any concerns about bacteria or diseases or something like that,” Vosevich said. “Our concern is not about having community gardens. We’re supportive of having community gardens, I think. It just can’t be ‘Put one here, put one there.” Vosevich said the physical plant wants to see a business plan for the community gardens and then they will be able to move forward with the idea. “The University is in the process of developing a master plan,” she said. “So how do these community gardens fit into the master plan as well? I think that’s certainly something that’s do-able. I think we need

to put a plan together and that’s going to be something that all parties come to the table and orchestrate that.” Mckenzie said he tried to start on-campus gardens for the past four years, but there wasn’t enough force behind the project. “The reason why there hasn’t been success for gardens in the past — one is sustainability,” he said. “One of the problems was (not) having a constant support of watering, weeding … And there is liability. There are more complications and regulations of things that we have to oblige by, beyond the institution of UNM.” Mckenzie said he works with a program at Health Sciences Center called Everyone’s At the Table, which aims to help solve hunger in New Mexico. It is funded by the Program Office of Kellogg/Community Voices at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Ga.

misuse of student funds as cause for probation. However, the four undergraduate SFRB representatives opposed the 5 percent cut. ASUNM President Monika Roberts said the benefits of Athletics have been overshadowed by recent events drawing bad publicity. “Athletics brings a lot to this University. … I fully support Athletics,” she said. “I know there are a lot of bad things going on in Athletics right now, and it seems like that’s what’s getting all the publicity, but if you look at what’s going on, there’s a lot of good things going on.” Roberts said the successes of the men’s basketball team — which are often sold out at home games — and Ski teams make the case to fully fund Athletics. Rather than cutting by 5 percent, then, Knudsen then suggested cutting 22 percent of that 5 percent to symbolize the portion of graduate students who didn’t want their fees funding Athletics.

Senator pulls for ethics reform
Monday, February 8, 2010 / Page 3
by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo
Ethics, education and budget solutions are the issues that drive state Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Bernalillo. Lopez, the 13-year representative from the South Valley and lieutenant governor candidate, came to campus Friday to speak to the UNM League of United Latin American Citizens. She spoke about legislation she’s trying to pass during the Legislative Session, especially ethics reform. She is a sponsor of the State Ethics Commission Act, a bill that would create a state agency to “receive and investigate complaints alleging ethics violations against state officials, state employees, government contractors and lobbyists,” according to the legislation. “Can you make somebody ethical if they’re not? Can a law make somebody ethical? I am of the opinion that it cannot. Ethics are in here,” Lopez said, pointing to her heart. “We are currently looking at issues with the State Investment Council, where all of our tax dollars have been misguided.” The ethics commission has come under fire because it allows all hearings and judgments to be passed in privacy —something Lopez said she and her fellow legislators are trying to fix — because she said it doesn’t promote an open government. “We are working with the House

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: Last Friday a new drug law in Mexico came into effect, wherein small amounts of cocaine, heroine, LSD, marijuana and methamphetamine are now legally permitted. The law was enacted to lessen the amount of energy that police spend on personal drug users. Do you think this new law will effect the current drug situation in Mexico? Out of 49 responses
No, the drug cartels have never focused on Mexican citizens. Their business has 27% always been in the United States. No, legalization still does nothing to 37% address the problem of addiction. Yes, it will lessen the instances of police extracting bribes from people for 16% small amounts of drugs. Yes, the stigma of using drugs will go away making them less “cool” and less 20% desirable.
THIS WEEK’S POLL:
Sarah Palin was quoted at a recent Tea Party rally saying that President Obama was a “charismatic guy with a teleprompter.” During this speech she was photographed with notes written on her hand. She also publicly took offense when Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel called a particular liberal group, “f-ing retards.” In an interview shortly after, she defended Rush Limbaugh, who said the exact same thing about the exact same group. How do you explain the recent contradictions? Palin is absolutely right. Rush Limbaugh is a satirist and Rahm Emanuel is in public office. There should be a distinction between their public comments. Palin is being unfairly portrayed by the media. With the last presidential upset, Palin has lost touch with reality on purpose, propelling herself deeper into conservative talking points. This is of no shock. Palin needs to side with Rush — she owes him.

LETTERS UNM should not allow hatemongering on campus Editor, I believe it was Spiderman’s dad who said that with great power comes great responsibility. Freedom of speech is powerful and I’m all for it. That’s what makes living in America great. Another thing that makes living in America great is freedom of religion. We all understand free speech and freedom to worship, but this doesn’t give us license to say whatever we want whenever we want. Today in front of the SUB, a man who called himself “Shawn the Baptist” provided a perfect example of what I mean. While delivering his gospel message he used the word “homo.” I
ASUNM repeats history by ignoring constituents Editor, It’s funny how some of ASUNM Sen. Sean Mallory’s quotes in “ASUNM resolution cites Athletics’ accomplishments” echoes words in an Albuquerque Journal op-ed signed by President David Schmidly – both published Friday. I’m glad that Mallory took my advice that ASUNM should chime in on UNM Athletics. What he missed is what I had to say to ASUNM President Monika Roberts at a Feb. 3 public meeting. I said that ASUNM, at minimum, should take a poll of its constituents before it takes a position. This was after Faculty Senate President Doug Fields noted that the 931 voters that participated in the last ASUNM election represented a relatively small percentage of the total undergraduate student body. These
Mayor Berry targets Union and defies court order Editor, On Jan. 28, the Albuquerque Journal ran an article about Mr. Diego Arencon, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 244. The Journal stated, “The union took the matter to court after (Mayor Richard) Berry objected to the higher salary.” Not true! A suit was filed when, contrary to the current contract, Mr. Arencon was ordered to cease his daily union business. The contract states, “To develop a more cohesive relationship between the Union and the Albuquerque Fire Department, upon request of the Union president, to place the Union president on a 40-hour work week for union business.” This is clear and simple language the Mayor refuses to honor. If the Mayor believes it is wrong for city employees to conduct union business while on duty, why hasn’t he ordered other city union presidents to cease to do so? Also not reported was that Mr. Arencon offered to settle with the city by relinquishing his
don’t care if he doesn’t like homosexuals. He’s free to dislike whomever he chooses. I doubt I’m the only one who feels this way, but I think that using the word “homo” the way he did — in a derogatory way — is a form of harassment. It’s the same as using the “N” word or similar speech. He continued to tell the UNM community, and not just homosexuals this time, that God abhorred them because they were sinners and that they were doomed to spend eternity in Hell because of the way they lived their lives. He also mentioned that he could never shake students’ hands because they are wicked. Now, people attend UNM for a number of reasons. I go to learn in a safe and encouraging environment. I go to hear and discuss opposing viewpoints, something that the University should welcome. I don’t go to UNM to hear hate speech and be threatened with fire and
brimstone. UNM should never welcome hate on our campus. Would UNM give permits to the KKK for speakers to shout at its students, faculty and staff? I don’t know, probably not though. So why is it okay for “Shawn the Baptist?” I’ll give UNM the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they didn’t know he would be preaching hate, intolerance and threatening passersby with eternal damnation. I admit that I’m ignorant about the UNM policy for allowing people to speak on campus, but I hope that there is some mechanism that ensures speakers on campus conduct themselves the way students are expected to conduct themselves on campus.
conversations were recorded not only by the UNM administration, but three Daily Lobo reporters. Put bluntly, ASUNM needs to check with its constituents before launching into a resolution that may or may not represent their views – and should improve on its convenient-for-somebut-not-for-others election-station voting process. (By contrast, all GPSA members get an email with a link every day of our elections and must log in so they can only vote once.) In the article, Mallory is quoted as saying that the GPSA’s “special election focuses on a few specific instances that happened a while ago.” A while ago? UNM head football coach Mike Locksley allegedly choked and punched J.B Gerald on Sept.20. The pursuant media stonewalling lasted through the end of November (when the media seemed to give up trying to get answers from this public institution). Documents that were admittedly intentionally destroyed by Athletics’ staff may be germane to a current civil
law suit. What’s “recent?” This reminds me of something that happened eons ago – ancient history by some reckoning. Last spring, shortly after the Faculty Senate and GPSA voted “no confidence” in Schmidly and Regent Jamie Koch, the ASUNM Senate tried to pass a resolution of confidence in both men. When undergraduates got wind, they were up in arms (figuratively) and made enough phone calls to ASUNM senators to stop the resolution from being heard by the entire body. Is history repeating itself? If one were to read the comments attached to Friday’s Daily Lobo article, one would have to say that ASUNM senators should prepare to once again hear from a mob of angry, misrepresented undergraduate students – if it already hasn’t begun.
negotiated pay rate. This offer was refused by the city. The city continued to attempt to hobble labor by claiming it was against New Mexico statute for a city employee to conduct union business while on duty. Judge Baca found that the city was wrong in this claim and that there is no discrepancy between state statute and a public employee conducting union business while on duty. Judge Baca ordered the city to allow Mr. Arencon to return to his regular union business. To date, the city has ignored Judge Baca’s order and prevents Mr. Arencon from performing union business. Albuquerque residents need to know that while the Mayor has been on television stating he wants to sit with the unions to discuss solutions to the city budget shortfall, his chief administrative officer has repeatedly canceled meetings that Mr. Arencon has scheduled to do just that. Instead, the Mayor has contracted with Management Associates Inc., a well-known union-busting firm. This contract was made for less than $55,000, thus not requiring council approval. This firm has no interest in the city and labor-finding solutions to the city’s financial problems. They profit by turning labor against the Mayor. They
are doing a great job! It is outrageous that in a time of financial hardship the Mayor has hired a firm to work for the city when the city already has employees to perform the same duties; employees who have the city’s best interest at heart. In addition to refusing to honor our contract, every worker’s comp claim filed by an AFD firefighter has been denied since the Mayor has taken office. One of our brothers was burned in a house fire this past week. I wonder if the Mayor’s worker’s comp board will deny his claim as well. Is refusing to pay for firefighter’s injuries suffered on duty one of the Mayor’s ideas to reduce the city’s budget? We want to help the city address its serious financial situations. We have ideas that could cut over a million dollars from AFD’s budget just this year. But, we cannot help the city if the Mayor continues to attack us, refuses to talk with us and allows himself to be guided by an outside firm that profits from turning us against each other.

ate student funds might not represent graduate students’ opinions. “I would want to make sure you’re not alienating the student body. (GPSA) poll results are up to your interpretation,” Vertikoff said. “If no graduate money was going to Athletics, then I would feel that
graduate students shouldn’t get free tickets.” Knudsen corrected Vertikoff’s characterization of the special election as a “poll” before saying that GPSA could create an account solely to give graduate students tickets to sporting events for free.
“This is something that I’ll have to run by the council, but I think it would be a better use of our money to actually pay for those tickets outright,” she said. “Right now, we’re buying tickets for $1.5 million, which works out to $300 a seat. I think we could use that money a
little better.” The board settled on the 2.2 percent cut, which does not represent a withdrawal of graduate money. Instead, the SFRB methodically cut recurring funding by similar margins in light of the economic crisis.
students came to us and said, ‘Hey, we know you help with making linkages and that you’re community oriented. We would like to do some community gardens in clinics. What can we do?’” Scott said. “So we just started having conversations. That’s what we do; that’s about a community being a community,
community-based projects. So we started having conversations with our clinic folks, with our agricultural extension agent from NMSU.” Scott said she reached out to the Office of Sustainability, the Research Service Learning Program and other UNM departments to see if they had any input about building a
community garden. Dan Young, RSLP’s director, said the Hokona garden mishap helped Lobo Community Gardens figure out what they have to do to get a university-supported garden. “There is a balance of students enthusiasm of wanting to get it done right now and the reality of how large
institutions works,” Young said. “We know that over time if we work with all the folks involved we can get gardens as part of what the UNM campus contains. We’ll find a way to do that. A really good example of that might be the new student housing down on south campus.”

He said he’s partial to outdoor events. “It’s just better,” Thomas said. “The 60-meters (outdoor) is for more quick guys who can get on the block fast. One of my biggest problems is getting off the block, so I do kind of like running outdoor better.

Davis. In typical Hobson style, the Lobo guard stared down Davis, head cocked to the side. “I felt like that was a pretty good shot, a tough shot that I hit,” said Hobson, who knows and has a budding rivalry with several members of SDSU’s basketball team. “I was feeling it a little bit. I think that my emotions got the best of me a little bit. That’s just how I am. I’m a very emotional player.” Yet, as demonstrative as he is, Hobson hasn’t been T’d up all season. “You gotta know when to control it,” Hobson said. “You got to know when enough is enough. I’m not going to go overboard and hurt my team, getting a tech. I know when to say stuff and when to get the crowd going and when not to.” And, oh, you should have heard them roar after that free throw.

circus shots, he was tossing pinpoint passes, one in particular at the 15:23 second-half mark — a no-look feed to Phillip McDonald, which translated into a transition dunk that gave the Lobos a 51-43 lead. “He had one of those special nights that a special player has,” said Lobo head coach Steve Alford. “He’s very, very gifted. For him to make the plays, even in overtime … not a lot of people can put up those numbers. … Sometimes those big-time players have bigtime days. This was one of them. He did everything.” No one could stop him, not White in overtime, nor Kawhi Leonard in regulation, or anyone on the Aztecs’ roster, for that matter. With 14:42 left in the second half, Hobson hit a 15-foot, stepback jumper over Aztecs’ Kelvin

“It’s all mental. You have to be able to shoot when you’re fatigued,” Hobson said. “Coach tells us every single day, ‘It’s a 15-foot shot with no one guarding you.’ Coach Neal tells me every day that you have to learn to let plays go. I think that was my problem during the beginning of the season. When I’d miss free throws, I’d sit and dwell on it and get frustrated and worry about why I missed instead of just moving onto the next free throw.” But in this game of unscripted theatrics, he was the standout thespian. Hobson finished with his sixth double-double of the season, falling one point short of tying his career-high: 29 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and, most importantly, no turnovers.

Well, the plodding ratings orgy known as the Super Bowl is over. Thankfully, there’s another absurdly over-marketed and borderline exploitive sporting event right around the corner. Next weekend is the NBA All-Star procession; three days of revelry, showmanship and Charles Barkley offending people. Don’t get me wrong. I love All-Star weekend. It encompasses everything I adore in pro basketball: freakish athleticism, senseless exhibitionism and a shared aversion to playing defense. But in the past few years, the league has, for whatever reason, tried to change its annual bit of anarchy into something more respectable. This disgusts me. So, with no further ado, here are four ways to make AllStar weekend better. 1. Let Monta Ellis and Josh Smith play — Injuries to Brandon Roy and Paul Pierce look to leave All-Star spots open for a guard and a forward in each conference. There’s no doubt in my mind who their replacements should be. Ellis is a one-man fast break who routinely bangs in circus shots and darts about the court like a man possessed. I know the knocks against him: He puts up big numbers on a bad team, he’s a gunner, and he’s never been accused of playing defense. But, um, so? This is the All-Star game, not the showdown at the end of “Space Jam.” Ditto for Smith, who has dunked on an entire generation of big men in
It was an up-and-down weekend for the UNM men’s tennis team. The Lobos opened the weekend with a 6-1 win over No. 57 Middle Tennessee State on Friday before falling 4-3 to No. 63 Denver on Sunday at the UNM Tennis Complex. UNM is now 2-3 for the season. Head coach Alan Dils said he was proud of his team’s effort. “We knew we were playing two tough teams,” he said. “We would have liked to win both. But I was proud of the way our team competed. We fought hard, and I’m happy with that.” On Friday, the Lobos came out on fire and captured the doubles point with wins at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. Then, UNM won five of six singles matches to clinch the match. Unfortunately, the momentum didn’t carry over to Sunday’s match. “We came out flat in doubles and didn’t play as well as we could have,” Dils said. “In doubles, you have to be the aggressor. You have to look to put the ball away, and I felt like we were waiting for them to make the first move.”

and West’s all-time coaches (or, in Nelson’s case, until he drinks himself into a coma, at which point we’ll sub in Alvin Gentry). Imagine a 48-minute fast break, with players flying all about the court, passing and scoring with no regard for the supposed mores of good basketball. That’s great television. 4. Get the fans involved — To me, the NBA has always been the most fan-accessible of professional leagues. Perhaps because the players aren’t wearing obstructive headgear, like in football, or perhaps it’s because guys like Ron Artest will occasionally venture into the stands to show their appreciation one-on-one. Either way, the NBA should take advantage of this by including fans in All-Star weekend. For instance, wouldn’t the HORSE competition be that much more entertaining if Kevin Durant had to compete with the guy from your high school gym who could make a shot off the rafters? Wouldn’t the skills competition be better if, at every turn, an 8-year-old was trying to steal the ball from Derrick Rose? No matter what, the NBA must steer clear of Pro Bowl Syndrome: the NFL doesn’t want to admit its game is a joke, for fear of losing fans. At the same time, however, keeping up this charade has led marquee players to sit out and avoid possible injury. Thus, we get things like last week’s thrilling matchup between Matt Schaub and the ghost of Donovan McNabb. Learn from this, NBA. Above all, we, the fans, just want to be entertained. Oh, and get rid of the celebrity game. That thing sucks.

just six years in the league. He’s still fighting off a reputation as a me-first possession killer, but again, we can’t leave off one of the game’s most exhilarating athletes in a contest that will be judged only by the sum of its mind-blowing moments. Can you name which conference won last year? Exactly. 2. Do everything humanly possible to get LeBron James in the dunk contest — I’m sure Commissioner David Stern amassed a few underworld contacts in the course of keeping Michael Jordan from getting murdered for his gambling debts. Can’t he call in a few favors to get this done? In the minds of postmodern ballplayers like James, the dunk contest is a silly diversion, a senseless injury risk for a trophy that means pretty much nothing. I know that, but I don’t care. James is perhaps the most gifted athlete in any sport right now, and he’s cruelly depriving us of what could be the greatest physical feat since Atlas. Let’s say his field of competitors includes Smith, Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade. Kenny Smith’s vocal chords might melt, and Reggie Miller’s head might implode, but it’d be well worth it. 3. Accept the game for what it is — Whoever coaches Sunday’s EastWest matchup is determined by standings, with the coaches for the best squads in each conference helming the All-Star teams. I understand the logic here, but it presumes the AllStar game is like any other in the season, where defense and efficiency are the keys to success. That, of course, is false, and that’s why I nominate Mike D’Antoni and Don Nelson as the East

UNM dropped all three doubles matches to fall behind 0-1. “It is really difficult to come back from losing all three doubles matches,” said junior Joe Wood. “I think we did a good job mentally of refreshing our minds and going at our singles matches.” Freshman Jadon Phillips was a 6-3, 6-3 winner over Denver’s Fabio Biasion at the No. 3 singles spot to tie the match at 1-1. “I came out with a lot of confidence and stuck to my game plan,” Phillips said after his match. “It’s a little nerve-wracking, because I knew the match was on the line, and I knew it was close.” Denver picked up two more wins to take the lead, 1-3. Then, with the match on the line, Wood rallied back to defeat Denver’s Jens Vorkefeld 4-6, 6-0, 7-5 at the No. 5 position. “I started off kind of slow,” Wood said of his win. “I just started focusing on every point, and everything started turning around for me.” Denver’s Yannick Weihs clinched the match with a three-set win over UNM’s Carl Ho at the No. 1 position. Lobo sophomore Ben Dunbar was a 5-7, 6-3, 2-2 winner over Denver’s David Simon due to retiring after the
match was decided. Dils said the close outcome was indicative of things to come for the Lobos. “This match is great preparation for our conference schedule when every match will be this close,” he said. “Denver is a team that we’ve played before and created a pretty good rivalry with. They are undefeated and will beat some good teams down the road.” Up next, the Lobos take on Abilene Christian at home on Sunday. “I’m happy with where we’re at right now,” Dils said. “We can take a lot of positives away and turn this around for the rest of the season.”

About a month ago, Lamaar Thomas was on a football field in Pasadena, Calif., playing in the 2010 Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. Thomas’ former school, Ohio State, had just defeated Oregon, 2617. For the Buckeyes, it was their first victory in the Rose Bowl since 1997. But for Thomas, the celebration was cut short. The sophomore wide receiver left Columbus, Ohio, and has found a new home with the UNM football team. Thomas — who won’t put on a football helmet for UNM until 2011 because of NCAA transfer rules — is able to compete with the UNM track and field team. Even though he has yet to make his Lobo football debut, Thomas made a glossy debut on Saturday at the Albuquerque Convention Center during the New Mexico Classic. And he certainly made the most of it. Thomas ran a time of 6.94 in the 60-meter prelims, which was his first race as a Lobo, and he finished sixth in the finals with a mark of 6.89. The 6.89 mark in the finals has already stamped Thomas in the Lobo track and field history book. His time in the 60-meter finals was good enough to cement his spot as the fifth best time among all UNM performers. “I didn’t really get a chance to run track at Ohio State,” he said. “I ran outdoor for maybe two weeks. I loved track in high school and it’s just something that I really wanted to get back into. Now I have the opportunity to do (that), and I enjoy getting back into the track group every day like I used to do.” UNM assistant head track coach Leo Settle, who concentrates on helping sprinters, said Thomas’ presences has added depth to the

So he is getting the best of both worlds, especially in terms of practice in the offseason.” Thomas ran in the 60-meter

game at 78. The Aztecs finished the game, hitting 14-of-27 free throws (51.9 percent), which is not uncommon. They average 60 percent from the line and have shot under 60 percent 10 times this season. They missed two free throws in overtime, four in the final seven minutes of the game. The Lobos didn’t do much better, shooting 62.9 percent from the stripe. But Alford said that is all they needed. “The difference in the game was the foul line,” Alford said. “We didn’t shoot lights out, but 62 percent beats 51. So, I thought the difference was we got to the line a little more and we made a little bit more. That ended up being the key.” Not factoring in the big men Will Brown and A.J. Hardeman — who went a combined 1-of-9 from the line but didn’t shoot any free throws down the stretch — the Lobos shot 80.7 percent from the line. Their season average is 67.4 percent. Aside from free throws, both teams’ shooting percentages were nearly identical. The Lobos shot 50 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from behind the arc, compared with the Aztecs 50.8 percent from the field and 44.4 from the
3-point line. But the Aztecs played the majority of the game with three forwards, giving them the advantage below the rim. “(SDSU) is a big team,” Alford said. “They keep sending big guy after big guy. And we only have two. So this is the hardest matchup for Will and A.J., and I thought they held their own and did a great job of battling all night.” Saturday was only the sixth time in 24 games that the Lobos were out-rebounded. The Aztecs, the conference leader in rebounds, wrangled 35 boards to the Lobos’ 32. Together, the Aztecs’ forwards corralled 26 rebounds. A total of six Aztecs (four forwards) scored in double digits. Even with the Aztecs’ post presence, Hardeman had his second biggest game of the season, securing seven rebounds and scoring 15 points, a few coming off put-back dunks late in the second half. “I always know to go to the hole when Dairese (Gary) goes to the hole,” he said. “I always pick up his (misses). We just got a little bond like that.” The Lobos were paced by Gary (15 points and five assists) and Roman Martinez (11 points).

SUPER BOWL
From Ain’ts to Saints by Barry Wilner
The Associated Press
Jory Vander Galien / Daily Lobo A.J. Hardeman stretches out while reaching for an alley-oop pass against San Diego State on Saturday at the Pit. The Lobos outlasted the Aztecs 88-86 in overtime, putting them in a threeway tie for first in the Mountain West Conference.
Taking care of business in overtime by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
It was almost surprising when a 50-something-foot desperation shot from Darington Hobson didn’t UNM 88 drop at the end of regulation, with SDSU 86 the game tied at 78. Hobson had set the bar high, sinking an almost identical 55-foot Hail Mary shot as time expired in the first half. So the No. 15 UNM men’s basketball team (21-3, 7-2 MWC) needed an extra five minutes and a pair of free throws from Hobson to squeak
by San Diego State, 88-86, in overtime inside The Pit on Saturday. “(The Aztecs) had won an NCAAleading, nine-straight overtime games,” said UNM director of media relations Greg Remington at Saturday’s postgame conference. “Last time they lost in overtime was 2005.” Head coach Steve Alford corrected him. “The last time they lost in overtime was today,” Alford said, drawing laughs from the peanut gallery. The Lobos’ seventh straight win propelled them into a three-way tie for first place in the Mountain West Conference with (not soon to be No. 12) BYU and UNLV after BYU lost to
UNLV on Saturday. For the Lobos, free throws won the game. Hobson — who finished with a game-high 29 points, 12 rebounds and six assists —scored eight of the Lobos’ 10 points in overtime, including two crucial free throws with one second left, pulling the Lobos ahead for a good 88-86. “(Hobson) makes a terrific play,” Alford said. “He hadn’t been a great free-throw shooter. Yet he goes 7-(of )-9 and makes two of the biggest.” For the Aztecs, free throws could have won the game. Throughout the second half, the Lobos held a comfortable lead,
going up by 11 with three minutes to go. A flurry of Aztec 3s brought that lead back down to two with seconds remaining. With one second left in regulation and the Aztecs down by two, guard D.J. Gay — who finished with 25 points and five assists — lined up for a 3-point shot. To the dismay of 14,586 fans, Hobson fouled him, putting the gamewinning free throws in Gay’s hands. The first shot banged off the back of the rim, went two feet into the air, hovered and then fell in. Gay missed on his second attempt but swished home the third free throw, tying the

MIAMI, Fla. — Who Dat won the Super Bowl? The New Orleans Saints, that’s who. Ain’t kidding. Put away those paper bags forever: Drew Brees and the Saints are NFL champions, rallying to upset Saints 31 Peyton Manning and the IndiaColts 17 napolis Colts 3117 Sunday night in one of pro football’s most thrilling title games. Brees tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, the last a 2-yard slant to Jeremy Shockey for the winning points with 5:42 remaining. The Pro Bowl quarterback was chosen Super Bowl MVP. “We just believed in ourselves and we knew that we had an entire city and maybe an entire country behind us,” Brees said. “What can I say? I tried to imagine what this moment would be like for a long time and it’s better than expected.” A surprise onside kick sparked the Saints’ second-half comeback. Their 25th-ranked defense made several key stops, and Tracy Porter’s 74-yard interception return on a pass from Manning, of all people, clinched it. Manning gave futile chase, but was blocked by a New Orleans defender and fell awkwardly as the cornerback raced by. The four-time NFL MVP forlornly walked to the sideline as the Big Easy celebrations began. Who would have thought the biggest mistake of the game would have come from Manning? An NFL embarrassment for much of their 43 years, the Saints’ football renaissance, led by Brees and coach Sean Payton, climaxed with Shockey’s touchdown and Lance Moore’s 2-point conversion catch. The conversion pass originally was ruled incomplete, but Payton challenged the call and won. Porter’s pick, just as dramatic as

LOBO BASKETBALL
Moment of clarity from charity stripe by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
Amid protracted silence, between the echo of the bouncing ball and the time Darington “Butter” Hobson’s first free throw attempt left his fingertips in overtime, a tinge of uncertainty befell the sold out Pit throng. Little did they know — Hobson had been here before. No fans were privy to Hobson’s previous preparation, the countless time he spent after practices, hellbent on perfecting his free-throw stroke. For three weeks, he’d shoot in solitude, after his teammates had long departed. Just Hobson, the ball and the hoop.
“I shot until I felt my wrist was getting tired,” he said. And now it had come to this: First place in the Mountain West Conference on the line. A tied ball game, 86-86. The ball in Hobson’s hands. Five seconds left in the game. With the help of a quick jab step and slight pump fake, Hobson baited Aztecs’ forward Billy White into fouling him. Now he’d step to the line, a place where, like the Bermuda Triangle, the Lobos’ fabled guard often found himself lost. “Games like that — that’s what I live for,” Hobson said with a covert sense of confidence. “A player of my caliber, I think that’s a game that you have to step up for.” Still, as multi-talented as he is,
Hobson and free throws didn’t go together like “Butter” and bread. After all, this was the same Hobson who entered Saturday’s game as the Lobos’ second-worst free-throwshooting guard at 62.9 percent, trailing behind Jamal Fenton. “I knew the game was on the line,” Hobson said. “I knew it was going to be tough.” Instead there was no nail biting, as Hobson steadied his hands, swishing the first of a pair of free throws and giving UNM an 86-85 overtime advantage. Upon seeing his shot softly caress the bottom of the net, Hobson breathed a sigh of relief. At long last.
see Darington page 7.
Darington Hobson stews with anger after fouling San Diego State’s D.J. Gay and sending him to the free-throw line with an opportunity to win the game. Gay converted two of the three free throws, but the Lobos prevailed the Aztecs 88-86 in overtime. Junfu Han / Daily Lobo
