ASUNM: Athletics is worth the money
A race to the finish

Long Nguyen / Daily Lobo Mechanical Engineering student Tim Ngo tinkers with a computer program Thursday to start the racecar engine as part of the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers competition. The car needs to be up and running by the end of February for the contest, Ngo said.
After 15 years, Hokona Hall set for summer makeover by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
Some residents of Hokona Hall have gotten used to flipping on their heaters and smelling the 1950s. Hokona Hall, built in 1957, will get a facelift this summer. The hall was renovated 15 years ago, said Patrick Call, director of Residence Life and Student Housing, and some heating and cooling units are more than 50 years old. The Regents’ Finance and Facilities Committee approved $3.5 million toward the hall during its meeting Thursday. Revenue from student housing is funding the renovation, Call said. “Students pay to live with us, and they deserve the best that we can give them,” he said. “We want to get the best bang we can for our student dollars in Hokona.” Renovations will include new furniture, heating and cooling units, a fire alarm system and card swipe entry, Call said. Student rooms, hallways, laundry areas and commons will be refurbished, he said. “In the past, they might come in and replace an appliance or a countertop or one fixture in the bathroom,” Call said. “If we’re going to do it, let’s do it right and do it as one all-encompassing package.” Call said American Campus Communities, the company contracted to build new dorms on South Campus, is doing an evaluation of all dorms on Main Campus. He said ACC may suggest that some dorms be demolished, but not Hokona. “We heard that Hokona definitely had no

issues, so that’s why we’re looking to (renovate) Hokona this year and we plan to do the other buildings in the future,” Call said. The ACC report on UNM dorms should be complete in October, he said. Call said the current fire alarm system works well, but is out of date with current fire codes. “The system that’s in there now is a functional system, a safe system, but with new fire codes coming out there’s a way for us to improve the current system and make it better,” he said. The new fire alarm system will cost about $650,000, he said. Andrea Schoeny, Hokona Hall resident, said improvements to furniture and heating and cooling units will help the overall appearance of the dorms “The paint is peeling and you can hear everything through the vents, like things that are happening in the bathroom,” she said. But, Schoeny said, she still enjoys living in the dorms. “It’s an old building. It’s one of the older dorms, I guess, but it’s nice. I like it,” she said. “They just re-did the bathrooms this summer.” The fire alarms also worked well during a fire drill last week, she said. A small fire erupted in Hokona last semester in September from a faulty dryer, and the alarms sounded. However, one student, Axie Papp, said the alarms didn’t go off until about 30 minutes

In a twist away from the graduate students’ special election, the ASUNM Senate resolved nearly the opposite of everything the graduate student body voted on pertaining to athletics. In a 19-0 decision Wednesday, the undergraduate student Senate voted to support student athletes, Athletics Director Paul Krebs and the department as a whole. It also voted to support funding for athletics from student fees. According to the resolution: “The recent special elections held by the Graduate and Professional Students Association is not consistent with the undergraduate student body’s feelings towards its athletic program, its student athletes and especially the funding they receive through student fees.” Diverting student fees from athletics would limit the amount of

New Mexico Daily Lobo Do you want your student fees going to the Athletics Department?
“I don’t think it should go to athletics. They have a lot of money for basketball and football, and they have a lot of sponsors. Maybe Christi Cobo there are other Junior areas in athletics Spanish that it could go to, like teams that are not that well known. I think it should go to savings, especially the way the economy is right now.

“No, I do not. The attendance at the athletics games, besides basketball, isn’t that great. I don’t think that we should be paying for something that we don’t use.

“Yes, I think that would be fine. We have a really strong basketball team, so if it helps them out in any way, then that is fine. I think Jessie Pattillo it is important Freshman that we have Geology an athletics program. If me paying student fees means that the athletics program doesn’t get cut, then I am fine paying for it.”

student tickets, dropping student attendance at sporting events, according to the resolution. “Support at events for athletics is crucial to their success, and reduced attendance would thus affect UNM’s competitiveness on a national scale,” according to the resolution. A portion of student fees goes toward student tickets, said Tim Cass, associate athletics director. A cut in student fees to athletics could possibly affect free student tickets. Only about 5 percent of the Athletics budget comes from student fees. The graduate population voted to encourage the Board of Regents to divert student fees away from athletics. ASUNM also differed in opinion with graduate students on Krebs’ performance. After a line giving support to Krebs was stricken from the resolution last week, Sen. Sean Mallory put it back in at the meeting. “UNM holds these individuals in the spotlight,” Mallory said. “There is pretty much zero room for error, and it is in my opinion that everybody deserves a second chance.” Only one senator, Daniel Parker,

hold a special election, Mallory said that the undergraduate student body has weighed-in by attending athletics events. “The reason this was written from my point of view was largely due to the fact that how many student tickets have been sold at athletic events this season and our overall attendance for all sports over the past four years,” Mallory said. “With those numbers, I just felt that special elections were unnecessary.” Also, ASUNM President Monika Roberts said last weekend that holding a similar special election for undergraduates regarding athletics’ funding would have unfairly targeted the department. “We never really had any sort of election, and I’m not saying that what they (graduate students) did was wrong or anything because that’s what you guys wanted to do,” she said. “I feel like if we had an election specifically for Athletics, that would kind of be like pointing a finger.” Pat Lohmann contributed to this report.

who eventually voted in favor of the resolution, was hesitant to support Krebs. “I’m just wondering if it is prudent to support the leadership that — at least in some people’s minds — put the Athletics Department and athletes themselves in a disfavorable position,” Parker said. “Is it a good thing to support them when, in some ways some people think, they put athletics in this spot?” On Jan. 28, the graduate student body voted no confidence in Krebs’ performance and his handling of the altercation between head football coach Mike Locksley and former assistant J.B. Gerald. Mallory, who drafted the resolution, said he didn’t condone all of Krebs’ decisions. But, he said, it is time to move on. “We have been dwelling over this issue for far too long,” Mallory said. “UNM faces a tough challenge in 2010 fiscally and across the board … This is time for us to unite, to stop finger pointing and come behind each other.” And while GPSA felt it necessary to

Letters Porn-shop ads degrade women, offend readers Editor, Building on the bold letter of Armand Huertaz of Feb. 10, I take offense with the Daily Lobo publishing advertisements like the type of the News Stand. (For example, on page 12 is the same issue). These ads insult women, degrade them and ultimately are dangerous to women. In your imagination, superimpose the face of your daughter, sister, mother, wife or grandmother on the picture of the woman in The News Stand Valentine’s Day advertisement. Imagine them standing there in their underwear wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day. This ad is offensive. Ned O’Malia Adjunct Professor in University Honors Program
UNM athletes — they’re exempt from everything Editor, A week ago, a student walked into class 30 minutes late, sat down, opened a bag of chips and started to text without any regard to how disruptive his actions were — much less the disrespect he showed toward the professor. The professor asked the student for his name and the student lied and gave the professor a fake name. He told the professor that his name was Tony Sloan. Different day, same student interrupts the professor once again by walking to the front desk in the middle of the professor’s lecture only to set the attendance sheet on the desk, and to make matters worse he has the audacity to tell the professor, “What’s up?” Unbelievable! The student who believes that he is above all is UNM’s finest athlete, A.J. Hardeman, the forward for UNM’s Men’s Basketball team. I wonder if head basketball coach Steve Alford, UNM students, UNM alumni and the fans of Lobo basketball would be so quick to applaud Hardeman’s deeds away from the court. Will disciplinary action be taken against him? Or will the status quo prevail? I venture to say that the status quo will prevail because God knows that athletics comes before academics here at UNM. After all, we need the money the Athletics Department brings to the University. Hence, it really doesn’t matter what the behavior of a coach and/or a student athlete is as long as the University gets the big “W.” Denise Angell UNM student

Feeling alone on V-Day? Try these trusted tricks! by Chris Quintana
Daily Lobo guest columnist It’s here. You can’t run from it any longer. The only way to escape at this point would be to find a cave and hide out somewhere in the Sandias, but since those are occupied by chupacabras or a deposed Martin Chavez (I can’t decide which is worse), you have to deal with it at this point. I’m talking about “V” day. Yes, Valentine’s Day is the worst holiday for a single person. I am very aware of how annoying it is to see couples hogging all the happiness in the world, and since I can’t go around breaking up all the relationships in the world (lucky for us, though, they’ll do it themselves), I have compiled a list of foolproof coping strategies for the romantically impaired during this holiday. Play it off like it’s no big deal: Hide your suffering on the inside where it’s not all unattractive and off-putting to potential dates. Remember, the first thing that any sane person thinks when confronted with a crying person is, “Gross. I wonder how long they are going to do that,” and then, “That’s freaking annoying.” After this thought process has been completed they will stare at you in disgust and walk away after throwing a SpongeBob Valentine’s card at your feet out of pity. You get a Valentine, but still. The best way to hide your disgusting shame of not having a date is to pretend like you don’t care. Say things like, “Valentine’s Day is just a made-up holiday. I don’t buy into commercialism like that,” “Love’s overrated. I’d rather be fighting bears all day with my free time than celebrating companionship,” or, “I’m not celebrating Valentine’s Day this year because my dog ate my heart.”
If that doesn’t work, just punch the offending person in the face and cry into your pillow on your own time. Eventually, somebody will dig your smug charm, and if that doesn’t work, just cry into your pillow again. Play it like it’s the biggest deal in the whole world: Throw yourself at anyone or anything who would be willing to take you out for Valentine’s Day. You must be extreme in these measures. Don’t neglect the ugly people in the back of the classrooms. Remember, a brown bag will do wonders for their complexion, and if they reek be sure to hose them down with a fire hose attached to a fire hydrant full of fine French cologne. If they prove to be the sort with “pride” and won’t let you toss a brown bag over their head, then you have to move matters into your own hands. If you can’t get yourself to ask the ugly boy or girl at the back of the classroom because of your “lack of physical attraction,” then gouge your eyes out. Take similar measures for people who smell by removing your nose with a cheese slicer. Know a person with a shrill voice? Fill your ears with cement. If you reach a point where no human being wants to go out with you, then use an object. Parking meters, for example, are nice companions. They always welcome you by trying to get some “change.” They are solid with a body to die for and are incapable of ever leaving your side. Don’t limit yourself. There is a whole world of lonely objects looking for some loving — just consider blenders, microwaves and benches. Even books — but watch out for those paper cuts (They’re the worst!). Threaten suicide or bodily harm: It worked in “The Notebook,” so it has to work for you. Be flashy, though — how else are
people going to notice your plight of going dateless on Valentine’s? You might be tempted to default to standing atop a tall building, flailing and screaming that you’ll kill yourself unless someone goes out with you, but think outside of the box. Consider covering yourself in fish entrails and then threatening to jump into the shark tank at the aquarium. The best part of this solution is after someone finally accepts your desperate advance so as to not have your blood on their hands, you can wash up in another fish tank, and then jaunt over to the botanical gardens to start a life based on lies and desperation. Hooray! If that doesn’t suit your fancy just choose an object and verb at random and voilà. You have your solution. For example, I chose “weed whacker” and “dancing,” so the solution would be dancing with a weed whacker in the plaza until someone rushes over and offers me a date. Really, with a bit of creativity and a complete lack of concern for your safety and that of others around you, a date will be yours in no time. Don’t forget to say that you’ve had long established plans for the holiday weekend. This includes but isn’t limited to: “I’m getting a haircut,” “I’m getting new tile installed in my dungeon downstairs,” “I’m collecting ice samples from Antarctica this weekend,” or, “That’s the day I am raiding in ‘World of Warcraft.’” Like I said earlier, be creative, and don’t be afraid to try out the noun-verb-combo equation again. For example, let’s take our earlier words, “weed whacker” and “dancing,” and voilà, the excuse: “I have to weed whack before I can enter into the salsa competition.” Whichever option you choose, just remember: Even if you’re alone, you’re not alone in the fact that you’re alone.

Upset at home confounds Flanagan by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
1) Sport is rife with logical fallacies. 2) Don Flanagan. Linguistically speaking, the above is an example of a non-sequitur. Or in basketball terms, it’s called the UNM women’s basketball team. Expounding on that notion — so the thinking went: The Lobos defeated three upper-echelon teams
in the Mountain West Conference (BYU, TCU and San Diego State). Therefore, they’ll beat UNLV, a sub-.500 record team. Not so. The Lobos have proven that chaos is not the absence of order; it’s only the natural, worldly order — at least in the MWC. All the same, what Flanagan witnessed on Wednesday at The Pit defied everything conventional about wisdom, everything assumed about order.
The Lobo head coach must have felt that he was center stage in the Theatre of the Absurd. “I just don’t understand this group,” he said. He’s not alone. They’re simply inconceivable. “I like to tell you, ‘I do,’ but I don’t understand any team that will not give 100 percent and play with confidence at home against a team they beat on the road,” Flanagan

Season peaks for skiers after invite success Martinez sinks four 3s in eighth straight victory by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
As if being named the best ski team in the country wasn’t enough, the UNM Ski team added more to its arsenal of awards. Besides having a terrific performance at the Jade Enterprises/ New Mexico Invitational on Feb. 5-6 in Red River and Taos, and finishing first as a team, the Lobos had a few individuals earn weekly awards. Four UNM skiers were honored by The Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association for their performances at the invitational. Anne Cecilie Brusletto and Thomas Schwab were named RMISA Skiers of the Week for women’s and men’s Alpine, while Polina Ermoshina and Pierre Niess received the women’s and men’s Nordic award. Schwab, a junior from Gröbming, Austria, finished just a few
tenths of a second behind fellow Lobo Peter Brenna in the men’s alpine race at the Jade Enterprises/ New Mexico Invitational. Schwab said winning the awards is confirmation of how well the team has performed collectively this season. “I think our home-meet victory was one of the biggest victories ever for us in conference,” Schwab said. “It was pretty impressive, and since we are ranked No. 1, we are all getting in shape for (the NCAA) finals, and I am happy to help the team out with my performance.” The team finished in first place after the first day of competition with victories in three of four events. Brenna, Polina Ermoshina and Martin Kaas won three of the four events on the first day of the competition, with six other Lobos finishing in the top 10. Ermoshina, a senior and the national classic runner-up for the
past two seasons, won the second classic race of her career in her final home meet as a Lobo. She also helped the women’s Nordic squad. Ermoshina successfully finished with a time of 16:56 in the Women’s 5,000-meter Classic, giving UNM 109 points and the victory. Ermoshina said her accomplishments motivate the rest of the Lobo Ski team to do better. “When you see people on your own team succeeding, and when they get first, you have to keep up with your own standard,” she said. “It kind of puts pressure on the rest of the team, and it does get more challenging, but that is what I like. When Martin did well in the first race, you know the rest of the guys are looking up at him and it’s nice to have him on the team. So, now the rest of the team knows what the standard is for the rest of the day.”

GOOD LUCK LOBOS
Good luck to Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Men’s Golf, Skiing, Softball, Men’s Tennis, Women’s Tennis and Track & Field.
by The Associated Press LAS VEGAS— Roman Martinez and the No. 15 New Mexico Lobos pushed aside No. 23 UNLV for their school-record fifth victory of the season over a ranked opponent. Martinez scored 16 points, including four 3-pointers, in New Mexico’s 76-66 victory over UNLV on Wednesday night. “We’re playing really great basketball,” New Mexico coach Steve Alford said. “We’ve been a great road team all year. This is the best environment we’ve played in all season long.” Darington Hobson also scored 16 points and had 13 rebounds for New Mexico (22-3, 8-2 Mountain West). Dairese Gary added 15 points, and Phillip McDonald had 13 for the Lobos, who were 11 of 21 from 3-point range and had a 45-23 rebounding advantage. Oscar Bellfield led UNLV (19-5, 7-3) with 15 points, Tre’Von Willis had 13 points and 10 assists, and Matt
Shaw added 12 points. The Rebels were 10 of 30 from 3-point range. The Lobos avenged a 74-62 loss to UNLV in Albuquerque. “Back in New Mexico, we played better,” UNLV coach Lon Kruger said. “They took some of that energy away tonight. They had a good start tonight. They played well throughout both halves. We got it down to two, but we couldn’t quite get over the hump. We have to play that way for longer periods of time.” Martinez made three 3-pointers in the first 4:58 of the second half and helped stake the Lobos to a 54-38 lead. The Lobos led by 18 points, 6143, following McDonald’s 3-pointer with 11:42 left. UNLV used a 20-4 run to cut it to 65-63 with 3:39 left. Willis had seven points, and Bellfield six during the run. New Mexico, though, responded with an 11-3 run to close out the game. Gary scored the final four points of the game on free throws.
Flanagan from page 5 continued. The Lobos, looking like a shell of their former selves, shot a disproportionate amount of 3-pointers to 2-pointers (19 to 8) in the second half against UNLV. It didn’t matter how many timeouts Flanagan burned, nor how he pleaded with his team during those timeouts. And Flanagan, with his feet planted firmly on the floor, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came after a 10-point lead at half. It came after the Lobos outmassed three of the league’s upper class. What a gaffe. And Flanagan puzzled and puzzled until his puzzler was sore. Then Flanagan thought of something he hadn’t before. “You know it’s almost like — and I’m not sure, OK, because I couldn’t tell you right now — it appears to me that if they believe the other team is supposed to beat them, they’re up for that challenge,” Flanagan said. “But if they think the other team’s beneath them, they’re not going to give the same effort.” Or perhaps, the reality of the matter is the Lobos are a good, but not great, team. They lack, Flanagan said, a consistent scorer. “I really don’t have consistent players that I can depend on for a game,” he said. “They might have a great game, then an average game, then a poor game. And so I really don’t know who’s ready to play.” With the MWC Tournament just around the corner, this is an
inopportune time for regression. With this loss, the Lobos have banished themselves to the outskirts of contending for a MWC regular-season title. Still, as guard Amy Beggin alluded to on Wednesday — “whatever seed we get, we get” — UNM is content with that, banking on making a push for NCAA Tournament consideration by winning the preceding MWC Tournament in Las Vegas. Right now, it’s realistically the only way they’ll make the NCAA Tournament. According to RealtimeRPI.com, the Lobos are 51 in the Ratings Percentage Index, a measurement incorporated into determining which teams are given at-large bids come tournament time. Note: This is, by no means, an exact science. However, typically — although there are exceptions — the NCAA Selection Committee reserves the 32 at-large bids for teams ranked in the top 32 of the RPI standings. Depending on which teams in the RPI’s top 32 earn automatic bids by winning their respective conference tournaments, a few at-large spots remain for teams not in the RPI’s top 32. Even so, at this point, Lobos aren’t even a bubble team. In order to be a part of the March Madness euphoria, the Lobos must avoid February Failures. But, again, order is something that is apparently lacking in the Lobos’ vernacular.
