Candidates vie to replace injured fine arts dean

by Miriam Belin

mbelin08@unm.edu Four finalists have been selected in a search to replace interim Dean of the College of Fine Arts Jim Linnell, who suffered a spinal cord injury in Mexico over winter break.

One finalist has already visited UNM’s campus, and three more will follow in the coming weeks.

A search committee formed last fall received numerous applications from around the country. The committee can’t release the total number until the search is complete.

Search Committee Chair and dean of School of Architecture and Planning Geraldine Forbes-Isais said the committee is looking for someone who wants to be at UNM and has high academic achievements.

“We searched for candidates that we felt were contemporary and forwardlooking in their vision,” she said. “The type of leader that would be able to work with all of the constituencies of the college and move them forward, and someone who

really wanted to be here at the University of New Mexico and saw it as a great place to build a great school and build their own career.”

Linnell announced last semester that he would be stepping down in June. After his spinal cord injury, Linnell was rushed to the UNM trauma center to undergo surgery on Dec. 29, after receiving initial medical care in Mexico, according to a statement from his family.

The statement said his surgery was successful and that he is in stable condition.

Linnell will soon begin rehabilitation at a spinal injury clinic in Denver.

According to Forbes-Isais, the search process is on schedule. The committee is composed of administrators, alumni, faculty and a graduate students, most from the College of Fine Arts. She said she is pleased with the search committee’s focus and collaboration.

“I was lucky that the search committee was interested in spending the time to identify the best candidate, and they really did their homework,” Forbes-Isais said.

mbelin08@unm.edu Despite concerns that the Legislative Lottery Scholarship will be out of funds by 2014, the money raised for the scholarship in fiscal years 2010 and 2011 were the highest on record, according to the New Mexico Lottery’s annual report.

Gross revenues for FY 2011 totaled $135.6 million and $143.6 million in 2010. $43.6 million was allocated for the scholarship in 2010, and $41.3 million in 2011. In the 2011 spring semester, 17,053 scholarships were given to students; 7,294 were given to students at the UNM main campus.

New Mexico Lottery spokeswoman Linda Hamlin said even though ticket sales are going down, support is still pouring in for the scholarship.

“We don’t want our players to become confused and think that, because people are talking about the scholarship fund, that they somehow equate that the lottery has no money,” Hamlin said. “We are paying players millions of dollars in prizes every month and we’re raising millions of dollars for the scholarship program every month.”

Hamlin the lottery has raised approximately $19 million for the scholarship program so far in FY 2012, but alternative entertainment choices are vying for players’ attentions.

According to a news release issued last August, the New Mexico Lottery predicts “flat sales of $136.4 million and flat revenues

of $41 million” for the next four fiscal years.

Hamlin said the New Mexico Lottery will continue to remind players about the benefits of playing the lottery.

“We’re just going to keep our focus here on exciting players, getting new people who maybe never thought about playing a lottery game to think about buying a ticket, paying those wonderful prizes and raising money for the college scholarship program,” she said.

Of the total gross revenue, about 30.5 percent went to the Lottery tuition fund in FY 2011. More than half of revenues, 54.3 percent, went to the players’ prizes. By law, the lottery is required to give, at minimum, 50 percent of proceeds to players in prizes. After payouts, the cost of product, retailer commissions and administrative costs are paid, the rest of the funds, a minimum of 30 percent of the gross revenue, are given to the state treasurer for the Lottery Scholarship program.

Since the New Mexico Lottery’s beginning in 1996, it has raised $487.5 million for education in New Mexico, sending more than 75,300 students to college, according to the annual report.

Hamlin said she is grateful for the support of players, retailers and the legislative community.

“They are the heroes of the college scholarship program,” she said.

“They’re the ones that are raising that revenue. We’re just the conduit, if you will, but they’re the ones that are raising that money for college scholarships.”

Career Paths A weekly peek at unique niches

by Elizabeth Cleary

managingeditor@dailylobo.com Andrew Wice is a novelist and poet who can be found waiting tables in Madrid, NM, where he lives.

Writing doesn’t pay the bills, he said. The 37-year-old has written a total of six novels and published several haiku poems.

“I would like to get to the point where my writing pays for my life, so that I don’t need to continue to be an aging waiter,” he said.

His latest novel, To the Last Drop, is his only book ever picked up by a publisher. The book, which hit shelves in 2008, is the story of a biologist who discovers water in New Mexico, causing Texas to overtake its neighbor to the west and inciting a New Mexican rebellion. It was inspired by life in the parched coal-mining town turned artist’s community of Madrid, Wice said.

“The water quality and quantity in Madrid is a constant issue in my life,” he said. “And, like, everyone here I have to bring in drinking water from outside of town because our water is contaminated with coal and heavy minerals and stuff like that.”

Wice researched the book for nine months. He said he spent much of that time sorting through books at the Santa Fe Public Library and digging up information online about terrorism, geology, biology, water laws and philosophy.

“I had expert readers in all of those fields to check over my manuscript,” he said. “They really saved me from a lot of embarrassing errors that I’m really glad did not get out.”

Wice’s research for novels has led him to Iceland, Miami and the

Caribbean. He said Iceland left the greatest impression on him.

The sun never went down during the whole three months he spent there, he said, which threw quite a wrench in his sleeping schedule.

He visited Iceland for a book he wrote about an Icelandic man who takes on the task of writing a novel about American football. He said he met people who would become lifelong friends and discovered a culture that maintains its unique pagan influence.

“No place are they more likely to believe in sprits and ghosts and fairies and elves,” he said.

Wice was born in Philadelphia, spent the early part of his childhood in Ann Arbor, Mich., and spent the latter in Chatham, N.J. and Washington, D.C. While the Gulf War was in full swing in 1991, Wice was 17 and was selected to be a page for the U.S. Senate. There he was granted access to secret parts of the Capitol, which he said is much larger than meets the eye.

“The Capitol building looks like a large building but it’s actually much, much larger than you can see,” he said. “There are thousands of nooks and crannies.

Many senior congressmen have a secret office, which is different from their office in the Senate or House office buildings.”

J.D. Salinger’s book, Nine Stories, and particularly its story “A Perfect Day for Banana Fish,” served as Wice’s initial inspiration to start dreaming up his own storylines and putting them to paper.

“When I was about 12 or 13, I was sick home from school, and rather than have me watch “The Price is Right” all day, which was my plan, my dad on his way to work dropped off a bunch of books and told me to read them,”

Courtesey of Andrew Wice he said. “The end of (A Perfect Day for Banana Fish) in particular just ran me over.”

Wice said when he began writing, he was most surprised by the lengthy, years-long process of writing a novel and getting it published.

“It still is unfathomable to me that it takes two years to write a book, working on it very hard six days a week for those two years,” he said. “There’s no way to prepare yourself for that.”

The hardest aspect of novel writing, he said, is the task of Culture Editor Alexandra Swanberg Assistant Culture Editor Nicole Perez Sports Editor Nathan Farmer Assistant Sports Editor Cesar Davila Copy Chief Danielle Ronkos Aaron Wiltse Multimedia Editor Junfu Han

publishing his work and having it rejected. A book he wrote about the Caribbean, called Pirates of Crude, has been rejected by publishing companies and literary agencies more than 200 times, he said.

“As a young writer, I was sure that the greatness of my stuff would knock over all of the literary giants, all of them would be clamoring after me, and that my hard work would be rewarded.”

He anticipates the manuscript for the novel he’s writing, called The Object: A Love Story, will be

out to publishers and agents this spring. It’s the story of a woman’s life told by 50 different narrators.

The fastest it could reach bookshelves is Christmas 2013, although he’s almost certain the process will be more drawn out than that.

He said aspiring writers should read good writers and write.

“Everything else is just empty words,” he said.

“That’s the secret right there.”

Veterans find new life at UNM

by Barbara GomezAguinaga barbarag@unm.edu

“It took me awhile to recognize that I had PTSD,” ~Chris Duncan UNM veteran Duncan said he hopes to earn skills that will help him secure a job in the civilian world.

“Going to school was less stressful than having a job, in my opinion, so in going to school I’ve had a less stressful transition to civilian life,” he said.

On the day before he returned from Iraq, Duncan said he witnessed the death of three of his fellow soldiers after an improvised explosive device exploded near a Humvee he was driving.

Duncan, who suffered a traumatic brain injury in Iraq, said he wasn’t aware of the full effect of post traumatic stress disorder on his ability to focus until he began at UNM. “It took me awhile to recognize that I had PTSD,” he said. “I eventually recognized the issues

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts — The head of the local government in Nevis sought Tuesday to assure the public that the island is safe, despite the fact that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer was robbed in his vacation home by a man wielding a machete.

Nevis Premier Joseph Parry said police are taking the matter seriously, and said that he visited Breyer at his home the day after Thursday night’s attack.

“The police have been very much involved from the very beginning,” Parry said in an interview with radio station WINN 98.9 in the capital of St. Kitts. “I am satisfied that the police have been doing everything within their power to deal with the situation.”

A government official said that authorities have a suspect, but no one has yet been detained. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to reveal information about the investigation. The government of the twin-island of St. Kitts and Nevis was expected to issue a formal statement later.

The 73-year-old Breyer, his wife Joanna and guests were confronted by the robber around 9 p.m.

To continue with his recovery and education, Duncan has taken advantage of the G.I. Bill, a federal program that assists military veterans not only by paying their tuition, fees and books, but also by giving them housing allowance.

During 2011, the government paid more than $55,000 for veterans residing in New Mexico out of the $8 million national total for educational and vocational expenditures, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Marilyn Melendez Dykman, director of the Veteran’s Resource Center at UNM, said higher education institutions across the country will experience significant student growth because 580,000 veterans are expected to return

by September, 2012. Many are expected to attend college.

From 2000 to 2010, the veteran population declined about 13 percent nationally because older veterans died. In New Mexico the number of veterans decreased by 10 percent, according to the National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics.

EST Thursday in the home Breyer owns on the Caribbean island of Nevis, Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said. The intruder took about $1,000 in cash and no one was hurt.

The U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI and the Supreme Court Police are assisting the investigation, officials said. FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said no one has been arrested.

“It’s still an ongoing investigation,” he said.

Breyer reported on his most recent annual disclosure in June that property he owns on Nevis is worth between $100,000 and $250,000. The home is in the hills in the Golden Rock area of the island, which home to nearly 13,000 people.

Breyer has kept a low profile in Nevis and few people in the country were apparently aware he frequents the island.

Parry noted that tourism is important to the local economy and he appealed for witnesses or anyone else with information to come forward.

“I want to appeal to the population that we need to be very careful how we conduct ourselves,” he said. “I want to make an appeal to the people of Nevis … when people are acting out of line that we inform the police.

veterans cannot find a job, or if the job does not pay enough, the best option is to use their G.I. benefits,” Melendez Dykman said. “And UNM is a great place to use them.”

Duncan completes his bachelor’s degree in May. Then, he plans to earn a master’s degree in philosophy and may pursue a Ph.D. Both Melendez Dykman and Duncan encourage veterans to enroll at school.

“I think veterans have a lot of experience that can be very beneficial in the American society,” Duncan said. “If you can help them to deal with their psychological or physical issues, then you can have strong and productive citizens that will reward our country.”

Veterans returning to school face a new challenge: the shift to college life.

During the last two years, UNM has seen a 38 percent increase of veterans’ enrollment, according to Student Veterans of UNM. With the official end of the war in Iraq in 2011, many veterans, including Vice President of Student Veterans Army Sgt. Chris Duncan, have decided to return to school, or start college for the first time.

Duncan, a 32-year-old philosophy student, is one of the 1,070 veterans enrolled at UNM. He decided to start college in spring 2009, immediately after two years’ deployment in Iraq.

Toys, not just for kids

With proper use, sex toys can spice up relationships

by Hunter Riley

Daily Lobo columnist Sex toys don’t have to be pricey, shaped like an animal or bright purple — you have five of the best sex toys on each of your hands.

Some people think if you are having good sex you shouldn’t need to use toys in the bedroom, but they aren’t a just a “sex-aid.” They’re more like a power-up.

They can be good for your relationship with yourself and with a partner, because they give the body a new sensation to get excited about.

They can also increase the release of phenylethylalanine (PEA), the chemical released in your brain when you experience the feeling of new love, according to Matie Fricker, the co-owner of Self Serve Sexuality Resource Center at Central Avenue and Aliso drive.

Fricker said plenty of customers say after a few years in a relationship they don’t get the “rush” they did when they first met and dated.

That isn’t necessarily a sign that your relationship is bound to crash and burn.

Over time your body stops releasing PEA in the amounts it did when you first met your lover.

“You can reactivate the phenylethylalanine by trying new things,” Fricker said.

Now back to your fingers. They have a larger range and diversity of motion than a penis and some other sex toys. They are also stronger.

Your fingers don’t even have to touch any genitals to be a sex toy. You can use them for massage or a much-needed back scratch, both of which are great for foreplay.

If you only have a little bit of money to spend on a sex toy, you can get a vibrating cock ring or a vibrating bullet for less than $20 in most shops. Both can be used as a vibrating massager on your fingers, a clit stimulator or a ball massager, and you can wear the ring during sex for a little extra buzz.

Fricker said most women need direct, sustained, unbroken clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm.

Her business partner Molly Adler said many women enjoy using a sex toy because it helps them reach an orgasm that is sure to be remembered.

“For many women vibrators are the fastforward button,” she said.

Another less expensive sex toy is a masturbation sleeve or stroker. Don’t let the name fool you: both can be used during sex or foreplay with a partner.

A stroker is a piece of rubber that looks like a hollow cylinder, but on the inside the rubber is patterned with ripples and nipples to give the shaft of the penis a variety of soft and wet sensations when you add lube.

Fricker said the toy is great to use during a blow job or handjob because the shaft is pleasantly occupied while you focus your mouth or hands on the tip of the penis, balls or butt.

Some sleeves are only open on one side, so it provides a built-in semen catchment system.

Sleeves, or anything that vibrates, make the doer’s job easier and give them an opportunity to focus on doing one thing really well.

With any sex toy you need to know what it is made of and how to clean it properly.

Emily Gertz wrote an article for Grist.org in 2005 called “Ever thought about the toxins in your sex toys?” in which she addressed how sex-toy labeling allows for less regulation when they are marketed as gag or novelty gifts.

“In order to be regulated in the U.S. under current law, sex toys would have to present what the federal government’s Consumer Product Safety Commission calls a “substantial product hazard” — essentially, a danger from materials or design that, in the course of using the product as it’s made to be used, could cause major injury or death,” she wrote.

Modern grammar: a thorn in my side

By Devon Stevens Daily Lobo columnist

I don’t know what I hate worse, people with poor grammar or people with poor grammar. You run into them all the time, too. People who get the difference between “I” and “me” confused, say “good” when they mean “well,” who couldn’t identify a dangling modifier or a subjunctive clause, and who end sentences with prepositions because they have no class to speak of.

It’s worse online where you’ll find “u” for “you” and “2” for both “to” and “too.” Generally, it is safe to ignore anybody who spells like this because if they really cared about whatever they’re trying to convey they’d use proper grammar and a spell-checker.

This drives most grammar purists and pedants crazy. Every once and awhile somebody will talk about establishing a government office to decide what is proper English. The French already have such a body called the Académie française who regulate what words come into the language while trying to ignore the Québécoise who everyone agrees mangle the language daily.

But such a step only freezes a language.

We need to get back to the basics. Year upon year the English language creeps into simpler and more uncouth forms. I say we take it back to our roots to eliminate all

The article also cited German chemist Hans-Ulrich Krieg’s study in 2000 that found 10 dangerous chemicals gassed out of some sex toys available in Europe, including diethylhexyl phthalates, a carcinogen. The study found some sex toys had phthalate concentrations as high as 243,000 parts per million.

The article also said “heat, agitation and extended shelf life” increase the chemical leaching. If you use sex toys with a fatty, lipid substance it also might increase the process.

You should use condoms with any toys made of plastic or acrylic, because they can retain bacteria on the easily scratched surface.

It is important to use the right lube with the right toy, Fricker said. For example, don’t use a silicone toy with a silicone-based lube; instead, go for the water-based lube.

The cleaning policy for sex toys also depends on the toy’s material and whether it has a motor. If it is motorless you can wash it on the top rack of your dishwasher, or boil it in water for three minutes.

foreign influence as well as bad grammar.

The original Anglo-Saxon language, known as Old English, is still serviceable. Let’s stop this namby-pamby talk about how bad the language has gotten in our hands and return to its source.

It’s simple enough and we can start with the word “the.” In Old English there were about 17 or so different ways to say “the” based on what case and grammatical gender the noun they referred to was in. A few examples: þe, se, seo, þæt, þæs, þære, þy, þy.

With this simple restoration we gain much clarity in what we’re talking about and now we don’t have to guess whether something is in the dative case or not because we can use “þæm.”

You see? It’s easier.

The character þ (thorn) should also be restored. The th we use now came from printers in Europe and is thus a foreign influence.

Another great thing about Old English is that there are no silent letters so pronunciation is easier. Try these examples out: æhtspéd, æledléoma, and earfoþdæde.

Old English is also better than modern English with its conjugation and declination. That is how nouns and verbs are modified to convey grammatical meaning. We’ve become incredibly lazy when it comes to this, especially when it comes to possessives.

If I want to say something like “Here begins

the poem of Eric” the only thing in that sentence that lets me know the poem belongs to Eric is the “of” before Eric. I could also say “Here beings Eric’s poem” if I wanted to using the apostrophe S, but it is fairly weak when compared to our Anglo-Saxon forbearers.

In Old English we have to conjugate all of “the poem of Eric.” It begins to look like this: “Here begins the’s poem’s Eric’s” or translated “Hércyme beginne þæs gieddes Erices.”

Isn’t that so much clearer? Aren’t you ashamed that we’ve been so lazy all this time and have simplified the language to such an extent that we no longer even worry about such things as declination? All our nouns appear in their unmodified form and this is directly because over time the language has simplified.

The force the English purists criticize on the Internet and in everyday speech is exactly the same one that moved the English possessive from “es” to the apostrophe S form we use today.

Starting today, I am going to stand up for the English Language by only using the original unaltered Anglo-Saxon. So, dear Daily Lobo readers, I say goodbye with: Abéodan god Dægehwelc Wulf rædereas.

Or would it be “ræderum”? Is “dægehwelc” actually “daily?” Am I using the dative case here? Nominative? Hold on, I have a book that will tell me.

Most sex toys can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol or just a mild soap and warm water.

If you do buy a new sex toy, don’t just spring it on your partner all of a sudden. Tell them about it first and ask how they feel about using it. If you or your partner feels unsure or nervous, have him or her use it alone to get the idea and start to feel comfortable with it.

If you like sex toys after experiencing and experimenting with the smaller, cheaper items, you can move up in the ranks. Or if you feel perfectly satisfied going back to sex without toys, at least you won’t have paid a lot money for a toy you aren’t sure about.

The Lobos are heading to the Aztecs’ stomping grounds in hope of settling a score, senior forward A.J. Hardeman said. “It’s a big revenge game,�

Hardeman said. “But just to be playing against San Diego State is going to be big for us because they’re ranked in the top 25 and I feel this is a game we need.�

The Lobos, (20-4, 6-2 MWC), fell to the Aztecs 75-70 at The Pit less than a month ago. UNM held a one-point lead going into the second half, but the Lobos fell apart and lost their first of backto-back games that week. “We punched first last game, but we didn’t continue to keep our focus,� Hardeman said. “We just got out of character. They got tougher, and we just let them beat up on us.�

Three days after the loss, the Lobos took another beating at the hands of UNLV and sunk to the bottom of the conference.

Five games later, UNM found itself tied with No. 13 San Diego State and No. 11 UNLV for first place. “The league changes,� Lobo head coach Steve Alford said. “Three weeks ago, this wasn’t what the league looked like. Three weeks ago we were next to last.�

Alford said he feels confident about the road trip to San Diego, thanks to a healthy Hugh Greenwood and a defense that’s only allowed 47 points per game in the last five. “Obviously, we feel a little more full-strength going into this game,� Alford said. “I don’t think that’s an excuse in game one. They deserved the win. They outplayed us. But I like it when our team is full boat.�

The Aztecs (20-4, 6-2 MWC) are 15-1 at home, including winners of 10 straight games after their only defeat, a two-point loss at the hands of then-No. 22 Creighton in November.

San Diego State is ranked in the top 25, and it no doubt looks to continue UNM’s losing streak

Adria Malcolm / Daily Lobo Senior forward A.J. Hardeman battles with Wyoming’s Adam Waddell inside the paint. The Lobos go on the road to face No. 13 San Diego State for first place in the conference. against ranked opponents.

Under Alford, the Lobos won their first six games against top-25 schools, but have lost four of their last five, including three straight.

But Alford said rankings don’t mean much. “We’ve beaten a lot of ranked teams in the last four years and there hasn’t been a whole lot said about it,� Alford said. “It’d be nice, but it’s not something that we sit around and say, ‘Hey, we’ve got to beat a ranked team.’�

Two of those losses against ranked teams came against the Aztecs and the Runnin’ Rebels three weeks ago.

Both schools are still ranked

and the Lobos will get the chance to right the wrong from three weeks ago in the next three days. “We had that one bad week and hopefully this week won’t be as bad as the last time we played those two teams,� Alford said.

Recruits aren’t top class, yet

Mortar Board 12-13 Applications Available NOW!

by Nathan Farmer

sports@dailylobo.com The men’s and women’s soccer teams brought in a wealth of talent with the 2012 recruiting class.

The men’s team finished 18-0-4, the first undefeated season in the history of Lobo soccer. Even though the Lobos technically did not lose a game, they fell in round 16 in the NCAA tournament on penalty kicks to University of South Florida.

Along with all the accolades the team earned during the 2011 season, including a conference championship, the Lobos were also the City of Albuquerque’s Sports Hall of Fame Team of the Year for the 2011 year.

It’s likely the undefeated season put UNM high on the list of some of the best recruits in the country.

After losing senior midfielders Michael Green and Lance Rozeboom, the team was weak in that position, and head coach Jeremy Fishbein has brought in players to fill that void.

Four of the six recruits signed have experience playing the midfield position.

Charles Klepac joins UNM from Farmington High School, where he led the team to a state championship this past year. He was on the All-State team as a junior and senior.

In club, he won the Far West regionals tournament last year.

Michael Calderon is a junior transfer from Fairleigh Dickenson University. A native of Costa Rica, Calderon played in 32 games during his two-year career with the Knights. He brings muchneeded center field experience.

New Zealander Joe Harris is a player who can score goals from the midfield positions. In New Zealand, he was named his team’s MVP in 2010 and 2011, and led the team in scoring both seasons.

Chris Gurule, from Longmont, Colo., brings experience. He played on his varsity high school team all four years. Following his senior year, he was placed on the 2011 ESPN-HS AllColorado Team.

The Lobos have a lot of competition at the forward position.

Christopher Wehan from California adds to that competition.

He was a three-year varsity starter in Laguna Niguel, Calif., and also played in the Far West regional tournament, a feat for a player out of southern California.

Like the forward position, defense is stacked with talent, and Nicholas Rochowski from Flower Mound, Texas, will have to fight to find any playing time in his first season. He may be the

Fishbein’s recruiting class is small and nowhere near the top-25 best classes in the country, and, besides Calderon and Wehan, this is a class that, realistically, won’t see much playing time for at least a few seasons.

The women’s team has come off back-to-back MWC championships and NCAA appearances, but they fell both years in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Head coach Kit Vela has brought in eight players. She said all of them bring a winning mentality to UNM. Two Albuquerque natives, midfielder Alyssa Coonrod and defender Olivia Ferrier, join the team.

They were both four-year starters at Volcano Vista High School.

Forwards Lindsay Guice from Fort Collins, Colo., and Annie Wheeler from Arlington, Texas, will help fill the gap left by senior forward Jennifer Williams’ graduation.

Williams scored 14 goals last season, but Wheeler should come in and start scoring straightaway. She scored 36 goals and snagged 36 assists in her three varsity seasons.

Vela also added to her already-

heavy California roster with defender Katelyn Almeida and midfielders Tera Trujillo, Dylann O’Connor and Katie Hinman, all natives to the state.

California is one of the most competitive states for youth soccer and these players will come in ready to play.

Vela has brought in a strong recruiting class that should help UNM make it past the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Rough schedule molds tough squad

by Nathan Farmer

sports@dailylobo.com Despite last year’s losing season, head baseball coach Ray Birmingham said he thinks his team could make it to the national championship this year.

Last year UNM made the NCAA tournament by winning the MWC tournament, but it lost two games in the NCAAs to No. 10 Arizona State and No. 19 Arkansas to end its season.

Birmingham is in his fifth season as the coach of the Lobos. He said the team can make it to Omaha this year.

“This year I am looking for some big things,” he said. “I think by the time it’s all said and done, if we are good and lucky and everything falls into place, we are hoping to drive a bus to Nebraska in June.”

The Lobos are returning 17 lettermen. Birmingham said they played the hardest road schedule in Division I last season.

Birmingham said the team gained valuable experience from challenging difficult teams. He said it won’t be intimidated this season when it faces nationally ranked opponents.

“We have guys that don’t look in the other dugout and get nervous

because it says Arizona State,” he said. “I think we have confident kids and as they execute the game I think they can do something special.”

Last year the Lobos struggled with playing 18 games against opponents in the top 20, but Birmingham said they came together at the end to rattle off four straight wins and capture the MWC. The Lobos beat No. 9 TCU in the championship game.

Sophomore first baseman DJ Peterson set the NCAA record for doubles by a freshman with 32 last season. Peterson said the team should start playing well right away, because it’s already more cohesive than last year’s group.

“Last year the record wasn’t there, but we got hot when it counted,” Peterson said. “I think we are still hot from last year and we have pretty much everyone from last year coming back.”

A poll from CollegeBaseballInsider. com said Birmingham was voted the best game-time coach in the MWC by his fellow coaches.

Peterson said last year’s young team adapted slowly to Birmingham’s style.

“He is a good motivator and he knows what he is talking about,”

Adria Malcolm / Daily Lobo Sophomore pitcher Alexis Garza works out during practice Feb. 8 at the Lobo Field. The Lobo baseball team was picked to finish second in the Mountain West behind UNLV by Baseball America. he said. “Once everyone bought in, look what happened.”

UNM is also bolstered with experienced pitchers, returning five, including two seniors and two juniors.

Birmingham said his pitching

staff will be the key if UNM wants to be successful this year.

“Our pitching staff is better than it has ever been,” he said. “I think we can match up with anybody in the country on the weekend.”

Senior pitcher Rudy Jaramillo said that, with so many good pitchers on the team, the competition for innings is going to make everyone better.

“It’s going to be a really great season pitching-wise for us,” he said.

MWC merger favors football over basketball

by Cesar Davila

hendrix@unm.edu

Over the last few years, college athletics has gone through reconstructive surgery on its conferences.

And on Monday, another appointment was set up.

The Mountain West Conference and Conference USA agreed to join forces to form a new intercollegiate athletic association for the 2013-14 season.

This was a desperate attempt by both conferences to stay relevant and competitive in the everchanging landscape of football’s Bowl Championship Series.

Unfortunately, this move, like the others of the past years, is at the expense of UNM’s basketball program.

Last year, the Mountain West lost two programs.

Utah packed its bags to join the Pac-12, one of the six football conferences that have an automatic qualifier into the BCS games at the end of the football season.

According to SportingNews. com, the big six conferences (ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC) shared $145.2 million of the $174 million that the BCS distributed to conferences from the 2010-11 bowl games. The remaining $28.8 million was given to the other conferences to share, including the MWC. Money talks and the institu-

tions listen.

Brigham Young’s football program went independent and signed an eight-year television partnership deal with ESPN, allowing the program to keep all its revenue, instead of sharing the money within its conference, à la Notre Dame.

As part of the moneymaking move, BYU moved its basketball program to the West Coast Conference.

In return, the MWC got Boise State this season and Fresno State and Nevada next season. Hawaii will join in football only.

What a deal.

The Broncos are 1-7 in their debut in conference and although Nevada is 21-4 this season in the Western Athletic Conference, it lost its toughest games against UNLV and BYU this season and has beaten teams from the 12thbest conference in the country.

Fresno State is near the bottom of the WAC. With the departure of TCU to the Big 12, and San Diego State and possibly Boise State to the Big East next season, the MWC is left with UNM, UNLV, Wyoming, Air Force, Colorado State and the three WAC members.

The Big East also snatched Memphis, Southern Methodist, Houston and UCF away from Conference USA. The merger of both Conference USA and the MWC may ultimately give the new conference an auto-

matic bid to a BCS game in football, but the basketball talent will suffer.

The Lobos and UNLV will be the class of the newly formed association if it stays at the current 16-team format.

The only team to be ranked in the top 25 from the 12-team Conference USA in the last five years is Memphis, one of the teams leaving.

East Carolina, Marshall, UAB, UTEP, Rice, Tulane, Tulsa and Southern Mississippi are the leftovers from Conference USA to join the new association.

Of these teams, only Tulane has a .500 record in the NCAA tournament with a 3-3 record in three appearances, and only UTEP has made it to the final four, when it won the national championship in 1966.

But that was almost half a century ago.

UNLV, UNM, BYU and San Diego State were top-25 teams at one point in the Mountain West in the last half decade; one is gone and the other will be, too.

The change could give the Lobos an easier road to more conference championships, but will rob fans of classic rivalries UNM has created in the past decade.

In 2009, the UNM basketball team had one of its best seasons in school history, finishing the season with a 30-5 record and earning a No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament. But one thing people

The women’s basketball team will attempt do something it hasn’t done all MWC season: win two conference games in a row.

After beating Wyoming on the road last Saturday 60-57, UNM (8-15, 2-7) takes on San Diego State tonight at home after losing to the team 7747 the first time they played each other this year.

Head coach Yvonne Sanchez said the team is much different now than the first time it played the Aztecs.

“It’s been incredible, when we watch film from the first time we have played teams and then we play them the second time around, we’re just a different team,” she said. “It’s nice to see the improvement. They still want to do well and they still want to win.”

UNM started off conference play with six straight losses, but has won two of its last three games and has regained previously injured key players.

Senior guard Nikki Nelson said the team’s return to full strength has really been a major reason for its recent success.

“We have had to battle through injuries,” she said, “But our team has done really well rallying and working hard no matter who is sitting out or

SDSU (18-5) currently leads the MWC with an 8-1 record, but Nelson said that record doesn’t matter because the Lobos are a different team since the last time these two met.

“I think we have come leaps and bounds from the last time we played San Diego State,” she said. “We want to really finish strong so going into the conference tournament we have a lot of momentum.”

The last time these two teams played, UNM turned the ball over more than 20 times and SDSU scored 38 points off the turnovers.

Sanchez said the team needs to limit its mistakes this time around if it is going to have a chance to win.

“Be physical, box out and limit our turnovers — that’s the biggest thing,” she said.

In recent years, UNM has had one of the best home crowds in the country and Sanchez said the crowd may play a factor in the game.

“They are going to come in here and it’s going to be a tough environment,” Sanchez said. “If we take care and clean up some things and as long as we keep it close and put ourselves in that position the last four or five minutes, we have a shot.”

UNM is led by junior guard Caroline Durbin, who leads the

team in points with 15.7 points per game. Durbin scored a career-high 29 points in her last game against Wyoming.

The road win over Wyoming was UNM’s first since it beat New Mexico State on Dec. 30. Sanchez said the win will certainly bring the Lobos more confidence in the final five games of the regular season.

“We played really well,” Sanchez said. “We moved the ball well and did a lot of good things on offense and defense. It’s one of those things that brings us momentum to play this week.”
