Attendees forcibly expel (un)Occupy Albuquerque protesters from Nonie Darwish talk by Elizabeth Cleary
managingeditor@dailylobo.com A talk hosted by the UNM Israel Alliance on Thursday turned violent, and footage from the incident has gone viral on YouTube. In the video, a group of protesters stand up and start chanting in the back of the anthropology lecture hall, where pro-Israel activist Nonie Darwish was in the middle of giving a talk. “Nonie Darwish speaks for Israeli apartheid and genocide at the hands of the (Israeli Defense Forces),” the protesters chanted. Some of the event’s other attendees rushed toward the protesters and started pushing and shoving them toward the exit. Protesters stumbled toward the door, at times pushing back at the audience members who continued to come at them. One audience member continuously pushed and swung at one protester until another attendee restrained him. As of Sunday afternoon, the video had more than 132,000 hits on YouTube. Darwish is an author, columnist and activist originally from Egypt. She moved to the U.S. in the ‘70s and converted from Islam to Christianity. She gives talks around the country detailing her experiences living under Shariah law, and is often criticized for propagating hate speech about Muslims, as was the case at UC
Berkeley and Brown University.

The UNM video has been a hot topic on blogs and both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine activism websites. Darwish said the American “leftists” who oppose her are being fed lies. “Our young people are being poisoned, told to silence me,” she said. “Our good, American kids are being misinformed.” For video of the attack follow this QR code.
Renewed Yale Park occupation leads to arrests by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu
Four members of (un)Occupy Albuquerque were arrested shortly before 3 p.m. on Sunday after they refused to leave Yale Park. In a video posted by (un)Occupy members, protesters can be seen being arrested. “One lady sat down in the grass (in Yale Park) and began reading

and they arrested her, and another gentleman who was standing near the car they were putting her in put his hand on the car and the officers jumped out, threw him to the ground and arrested him,” (un)Occupy member Brad Michael said. (un)Occupy members attempted to reoccupy UNM’s Yale Park on Friday, but about a dozen UNM police officers forced the group to move to the sidewalk of Central Avenue.
Protesters left the park peaceably and set up signs on the street until Sunday. Some protesters returned to the park on Sunday. The group, which advocates for human rights and protests against corporate greed, has battled for the ability to remain on UNM’s campus since September of last year with mixed success. At least 20 UNM and state police officers removed 3040 protesters at midnight on Oct.

9 using plastic zip handcuffs and canine units. Protesters later applied for a permit and stayed in Yale Park during the day, but have not applied for a permit this semester. UNMPD Operations Lieutenant Trace Peck said police notified the protesters they would have to vacate the park as they did not have a proper permit from the University. Following the arrests on Sunday, the group marched to the UNMPD
headquarters to protest the arrests before marching downtown. The group finally ended up at the West Side Metropolitan Detention Center where the arrestees had been transferred. “We’re going to the jail on the outside of town on the West Side and we are trying to support them,” UNM student Benjamin Abbot said. “We did go to the UNM Police Station to

NMPIRG: more fees needed by Miriam Belin
mbelin08@unm.edu
If the Student Fee Review Board’s recommendation is approved by the President’s Strategic Budget Leadership Team, the New Mexico Public Interest Research group will endure a funding cut that NMPIRG representatives said will cripple the group’s ability to function. During the Student Fee Review Board’s recommendation deliberations on Feb. 16, NMPIRG received a recommended allocation of $0.50 per student. Last year, NMPIRG received $2.26 per student. Student fees are one of only two funding sources for NMPIRG, contributing about 46 percent of the budget last year. The group’s secondary source of funding is a $75,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, a group promoting education and racial equality. NMPIRG, an organization that advocates at the national level for issues like the environment and lower textbook and health care costs, requested an allocation of
$4.84 per student this year. Vice Chair of NMPIRG Kymberlee Boettcher said NMPIRG may not exist next year without a funding source. “We’ve been talking to all of the members of the Strategic Budget Leadership Team and just seeing if there’s any way that they could increase it to an amount that’s adequate enough for us to at least have a chapter next year,” she said. “If we can get at least $1.00, that’s enough to hire and organize (professionals) who can manage a chapter next year.” SFRB member and ASUNM Attorney General Gregory Montoya-Mora said he decided not to fund NMPIRG because it advocates for issues that aren’t supported by all students. “I don’t support funding a political organization,” he said. “My recommendation is a zero for the board and for them to charter as a student organization (and they can get funding) through that means.” SFRB member and ASUNM Sen. Angelica Gallegos said NMPIRG funds a number of national staff who have never visited New
Mexico. According to NMPIRG’s funding request, the organization has no paid student employees, but spent $43,771 on salaries and benefits, most for professionals outside New Mexico. Boetcher said all the money for staff salaries comes from student fees. “We are the only organization that works in D.C. on student issues,” she said. “Most of our funding goes to paying professional staff, so that includes people who are well-trained on recruiting and can help coordinating a lot of interns and board members, and that goes all the way up to advocates who spend their time lobbying in Santa Fe and D.C.” Boetcher said she is considering chartering the group as a student organization and requesting funding from ASUNM. “If it doesn’t get increased at all, we might have to look into getting one-time funding somehow,” she said. “From my understanding, we can get it from either ASUNM or GPSA or we can even write our own grant, like a one-time deal.”
Sexy-dance case yields arrest The Associated Press SUNLAND PARK, N.M. — An affidavit used to support the arrests of a mayoral candidate and the city manager of a troubled New Mexico border town says a video of another mayoral candidate getting a lap dance was downloaded onto the city manager’s office computer the day before an unidentified man tried to use it in a blackmail scheme. Sunland Park City Councilor Daniel Salinas and City Manager Jaime Aguilera were arrested Saturday evening on charges of extortion, conspiracy to commit extortion, tampering with evidence and conspiracy to tamper with evidence. The two remained jailed Sunday afternoon at the Doña Ana County Correctional Center, each on $50,000 cashonly bond. Salinas is one of three candidates seeking the mayor’s post in an upcoming election in the southern New Mexico town that borders Texas and Mexico. One of his opponents, Gerardo Hernandez, has told investigators that an unidentified man threatened to blackmail him on Feb. 16 if he didn’t drop out of the race, by releasing a video of a topless woman dancing for him. Hernandez also said the man had produced a still image from the video to bolster the threat. Hernandez maintains he was set up
when an unidentified woman began to dance topless before him in a campaign office. He said he didn’t know the incident was being recorded. The affidavit said key evidence leading to the arrests of Salinas and Aguilera included analysis of Aguilera’s office computer, the Albuquerque Journal reported. The analysis revealed the extortion video was downloaded to Aguilera’s office computer the day before Hernandez was approached. Authorities said in the affidavit that the computer analysis showed the video was opened with editing software on Aguilera’s computer and that a still image was taken from the video and enhanced to make Hernandez’s face more visible. Investigators also obtained footage from City Hall surveillance cameras showing Salinas entering Aguilera’s office with a laptop computer on Feb. 15. A time stamp on the surveillance video corresponds with the time stamp when Aguilera accessed the extortion video and edited a still photo from it, according to the arrest warrant. A message left by The Associated Press for Salinas wasn’t immediately returned on Sunday afternoon. Aguilera doesn’t have a listed phone number. And no one answered a call to Hernandez’s phone. Salinas has said that neither he nor his campaign was involved in the production of the video, nor had they been informed of its existence before

find they had been transferred.” Peck confirmed the arrests, but said the University will not give any further information until Monday. Abbot said the group has not yet decided, despite several days of meetings, if they should apply for a permit or to continue to protest at the park or on the adjacent street. (un)Occupy member Maria Brazil said the police didn’t want to talk to the media because they knew they handled the situation poorly. “I think they are embarrassed of their actions and they don’t have a heart for the people here and they know it’s wrong.”

Hernandez was approached. Authorities armed with a search warrant cleared out a portion of City Hall on Tuesday as they seized surveillance camera equipment and records aimed at determining who approached Hernandez in the City Hall parking lot on Feb. 16. On Friday, investigators used search warrants to seize Salinas’ pickup truck and cellphones, and Aguilera’s office computer and cellphone.

On Thursday night, several protesters attempted to interrupt Nonie Darwish’s presentation at UNM. The episode eventually resulted in violence between the UNM Israel Alliance and the (un) Occupy protesters. Who do you feel is at fault for this incident? (un)Occupy protesters. They forced their way into conversation instead of waiting like everyone else. The UNM Israel Alliance. The group shouldn’t have brought Nonie Darwish to campus because of her history of radical views against Islam. Only the people who attacked others. It’s wrong to ascribe blame to groups for the actions of individuals. Everyone in attendance could have done a better job controlling the tension in the room.

LETTERS Disruptive students deserve a good kicking Editor, The hubbub at the recent meeting of UNM Israel Alliance speaks volumes about the character of the Students for Justice in Palestine and the (un)Occupy protestors. They are childish cowards. They insist on their own First Amendment rights as a mob while simultaneously denying those same rights to all who disagree with them. They came not to exchange ideas at that meeting, but to disrupt it. This nonsense has no place in a university and should be stopped. These junior terrorists-in-training are nothing but two-bit punks with a gang mentality. The lot of them should be expelled. A university should be a place where an adult exchange of ideas can occur, not one
Protesters to blame for clash at Israel lecture Editor, Since being chartered in 2007, the UNM Israel Alliance has hosted a number of controversial lecturers; these include Israeli-Arab journalist Khaled Abu Toameh in 2008 and members of the Israel Defense Forces in 2009 and 2010.

Violence at non-violent protest merits apology
LETTERS
As director of the Peace Studies Program here at UNM, I write to express my great concern about the violent turn of events that occurred on our campus on Thursday night, Feb. 23. On that evening, the UNM Israel Alliance hosted a speech by Nonie Darwish. Many informed individuals in the progressive Jewish, Arab and other communities have expressed serious reservations about the opinions that Ms. Darwish has voiced in the past. Her comments have been characterized as Islamophobic, and she is seen to be allied with the extreme right-wing pro-Zionist lobby in this
country and in Israel. Obviously a person who has established such a reputation is controversial, and it would probably surprise few people that protests would inevitably occur at events on college campuses that feature her presentations. Here at UNM, members of the (un)Occupy movement and the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) carried out a nonviolent disruption of Ms. Darwish’s presentation, in which they stood up and collectively voiced their opposition to her views. Several older, male audience members — perhaps none of them undergraduates — charged at the student protesters, hitting them, punching them, and even throwing one the students to the ground, before forcibly ejecting them from the room. Many of those attacked were young women. These events were recorded and posted on YouTube, going viral in hours. In fact, before I arrived on campus the following morning, I re-
ceived word about what had occurred from colleagues in the Middle East. So far as I know, no charges have been made against the attackers. This kind of violent behavior is completely unacceptable. There is indeed a tremendous need to talk about the issues in Israel and Palestine, and to acknowledge and affirm disagreement and passionate differences of opinion. That discourse excludes violent attacks on those with whom we disagree. I believe the first step in addressing the events of last Thursday and advancing a better dialogue is for the Israel Alliance to issue an apology to the students who were violently attacked at this event.
where overemotional, supercilious twits are allowed to shut down opposing points of view. These brats are obviously not yet fully potty trained, and, as such, have no business here. Let them play in the street until they have learned how to mind their manners. And before they and their ilk whine about being insulted and offended by this letter, they should consider that it was their own actions that brought it about. There is no basic right not to be offended, and some folks need more help than others to grow up. It’s time these children learned what their parents couldn’t, or wouldn’t, teach them. It’s been my experience that we humans require three lessons before we fully grow up. First of all, we need to learn how to take “no”
for an answer without crying about it. Secondly, we need a good kick in the butt to fully learn lesson one. Thirdly, and most importantly, we need to have a really sound belly laugh — at ourselves. I would have preferred to help these kids with the third lesson, but that can’t happen until they have learned first two. These darlings didn’t get a fraction of the kicking-around they deserved and they’re still crying, so I’ll help where I can. Some may respond to my position by saying: “I feel xyz.” I don’t care about what or how you choose to feel. Your feelings are relevant only to you and those close to you. In the world of thoughts, feelings have zero mass. I’m willing to listen to and consider your own thoughts on a given matter, but before you can
voice those thoughts, you must have them. Don’t confuse beliefs with thoughts. Suppose you tell me: “I believe that xyz is true.”If you can’t tell me why you believe xyz to be true, you haven’t moved significantly beyond feelings. Finally, don’t confuse parroting the party line with having your own thoughts. It may come to pass that you endorse the party line, but get there under your own power. And that is why shouting down other points of view, especially at a young age, is so destructive. Hearing other points of view allows you to more fully develop your own.
Many on campus were very unhappy with these speakers. Yet they did not disrupt the talks. They did indeed take lengthy and sharp issue with the speakers during the Q&A. Charged, but civil, dialogue prevailed. Such was not the case the evening of Feb. 23, when author Nonie Darwish spoke at UNM on “Why the Arab Spring is Failing.” It started well. The opposition was there, unmolested, giving out their fliers at the door. However, a half hour into the talk, a large group in the back began screaming insults. It was
persistent, loud and frightening — especially to elderly, infirm and oxygen-using attendees. When asked, they would not desist. After five to 10 minutes they left the auditorium. Thankfully, Ms. Darwish’s free speech was not denied. Nor was it denied to the audience. For an hour there was an open microphone where attendees, one by one, voiced their support and displeasure. Some made extended and strongly voiced statements against Ms. Darwish and the state of Israel. All questions, even the most hostile, were treated respectfully by Ms. Darwish.
The disrupters wanted none of this. They sought to shut up Ms. Darwish and ruin this event. After the lecture Ms. Darwish, a convert to Christianity, and a young lady in a hijab had a long discussion. The gulf between their views may be enormous, yet civil discourse is possible between people of good will.
Lobo fails to report on major scuffle at speech
This, in any normal circumstances, should be headline news, and should also take priority over such relatively more trivial matters such as “Driver who hit student speaks” or “Club preps students for societal collapse.” Instead, the Darwish lecture events were left seemingly unnoticed, at the expense of any understanding of common sense applied to reporting. My question towards you is this: Are there any reasons left at all for you, based on this small, but highly significant, episode, to be considered anything more than the very denial of the
idea of fair and comprehensive reporting? Best regards,
Editor,
Editor, You seem to have failed to notice or report (not even in the crime report section) the mic check that happened yesterday (Feb. 23) when University students disrupted Nonie Darwish’s lecture and got attacked by members of the crowd.

Naked man steals fire truck The Associated Press
PORT ROYAL, S.C. — A naked man stole a fire truck at a South Carolina apartment complex and sped away, killing a pedestrian who was walking on a sidewalk, authorities said Saturday. The fire engine driver, identified as 26-year-old Kalvin Hunt, drove about two miles Friday before he hit a man, careened off the road and crashed into some trees, authorities said. Hunt, who was pinned inside the fire truck, was freed by rescue workers, and then started assaulting two police officers, deputy Police Chief Dale McDorman told The Beaufort
Gazette. Brana Rogerson said she narrowly avoided a collision with the stolen engine, which plowed into six or seven other vehicles as it barreled through an intersection in Beaufort, which is located along the southeast coast of South Carolina. “I’ve never seen a fire truck come out of nowhere like that,” Rogerson said. “The truck didn’t have its lights on. I knew it wasn’t a fireman behind the wheel.” Justin Miller, 28, of Port Royal, was killed when he was hit as he walked with his brother, said Beaufort County Coroner Ed Allen on Saturday. Firefighters with the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire
Department had responded to the apartments for a rescue call, Allen said. Hunt had not been charged Saturday in Miller’s death, said Lance Cpl. Judd Jones of the South Carolina Highway Patrol, which is investigating the fatality. Hunt is from Sumter, which is in the central part of the state. Hunt, who did not have a telephone number listed, was taken to Beaufort Memorial Hospital with injuries. The hospital did not have him listed as a patient Saturday. A Beaufort police spokeswoman told The Associated Press no one was available Saturday to talk about the crash.
campaign between rival camps of the same party. Gillard called for the leadership ballot within her ruling party last week, soon after Rudd quit as foreign minister, to confirm her authority after simmering leadership tensions have destabilized the government for months. Opinion polls show Rudd to be significantly more popular than Gillard among voters, and his supporters said Labor will be trounced in elections scheduled for next year if Gillard continues to lead. Many lawmakers were dissatisfied with Rudd’s performance as prime minister, however, and there were concerns that Labor’s fragile ruling coalition could crumble, forcing early elections, if Rudd were to take over. A narrow victory could have left Gillard exposed to a second challenge if Labor continued to trail the conservative opposition coalition in opinion polls.
Supporters of both candidates had expected Rudd to gain around a third of the votes. Rudd had vowed that if he lost the ballot, he would remain in politics at least until elections due next year, but he said he would not challenge her leadership again. Resource minister Martin Ferguson said while Rudd would not challenge again, another challenger could come forward if Labor’s fortunes do not improve. Gillard was deputy prime minister two years ago when she made a snap challenge to Rudd’s leadership. When Rudd discovered how few lawmakers were prepared to support him at the time, he did not contest the ballot and Gillard became prime minister without a vote. With her leadership confirmed, Gillard must reshuffle her Cabinet to appoint a new foreign minister. Her Cabinet includes ministers who publicly endorsed Rudd.
Australian leader wins vote by Rod McGuirk
The Associated Press CANBERRA, Australia — Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard won a resounding victory Monday against the party leader she deposed two years ago, Kevin Rudd, in a ballot of Labor Party lawmakers that she had ordered in hopes of putting down strife within her unpopular government. Gillard defeated Rudd 71 votes to 31, Labor lawmaker Chris Hayes said after the meeting. “Once the votes were read out, there was a certain amount of relief on the faces of Members (of the House of Representatives) and senators,” Hayes told reporters. “I think they see this as now the vehicle by which they move forward.” Gillard has won one of the most crushing victories in a major party leadership ballot of recent years in modern Australian politics, following a vicious public

Lobos’ 28 first-half points; Durbin with eight, Torrance 11. But in the second half, the team unraveled. With senior Lauren Taylor out with an injury and only seven available players, the fatigue caught up with the team. “We have a group of kids, they’re a little beat up and we just didn’t finish a 40-minute game,” Sanchez said. Torrance led the Lobos with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Durbin added 13 points. Junior guard Jaime Jackson led the team with six assists. The Lobos (9-18, 3-10 MWC) made 21-of-51 shots for the game for 41.2 percent. Seniors Torrance, Taylor, Ashley Rhoades and Nikki Nelson were honored after the game in their last contest at The Pit. With a coaching change, a departing recruiting class and a team hobbled by injuries, the group of seniors went through a lot, Sanchez said. “It wasn’t anything they asked for, but I’m hoping their career is everything they’d hoped for,” Sanchez said.

Lobo Winners!
For three quarters of the Saturday’s game against TCU, the women’s basketball team played some of its finest basketball, but the last quarter couldn’t have been any worse. The Lobos lost to the Horned Frogs 63-52 on Senior Day in front of 7,333 fans, after blowing a doubledigit lead with less than 14 minutes to play. Sophomore guard Chinyere Nnaji’s jumper with 13:33 left in the game put the Lobos up 42-32 in a game UNM led most of the way. “We just didn’t hit shots and score there down at the stretch, and they did,” head coach Yvonne Sanchez said. Senior forward Porche Torrance picked up her fourth foul 20 seconds after Nnaji’s basket, and the game turned around. “It’s hard to be as aggressive as you want to be without trying to foul out,” Torrance said. “That kind of got me in trouble early.” Torrance was benched and her

absence was felt on the offense. Junior guard Jourdan Erskine’s layup with 10:23 left in a 46-39 game was the last field goal the Lobos would score for almost 10 minutes. The Horned Frogs’ zone defense shut down the Lobos as they went on a 15-2 run to take a 54-48 lead off a Briesha Wynn layup with 1:56 left. With 55 seconds left, Torrance made the team’s first field goal since the 10:23 mark, but it came too late. “(TCU) kind of figured out what we were doing, (they) figured out what shooters we were trying to get open and we didn’t do a great job of just executing our offense,” junior guard Caroline Durbin said. In the first half, it was the Durbin and Torrance show. Durbin’s 3-pointer with 12:12 left in the first half gave her eight points early on as the Lobos held a 17-10 lead. Then Torrance took over. The 6-foot, 1-inch forward scored three baskets and a layup in the final 10 minutes to give UNM a 28-25 lead at the half. The two combined for 19 of the

TCU pressure forces 2nd loss by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com The No. 18 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team lost its second straight game on Saturday and gave up a seasonhigh 83 points. After losing to Colorado State last Tuesday, the Lobos lost to Texas Christian University (1711) 83-64. Earlier in the year, the Lobos also lost back-to-back games in MWC play to University of Nevada-Las Vegas and San Diego State. CSU and TCU havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost at home in the MWC this season, and head coach Steve Alford said the two-game road trip really took a lot out of his players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough road trip,â&#x20AC;? Alford told GoLobos.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight, in the second half in particular, we were very poor defensively. Our guys are frustrated. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (coaches) frustrated. We have to get home.â&#x20AC;? The loss takes UNM to 22-6 and 8-4 in the MWC. After last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back-to-back wins against ranked opponents, the Lobos looked to have the conference regular season championship wrapped up,
but now there is a three way tie for first place with UNLV and SDSU. Alford sat usual starters freshman guard Hugh Greenwood and sophomore guard Kendall Williams. Their absence showed as
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played about as poorly in the second half as we have played all year, but our league is hard.â&#x20AC;? ~Steve Alford head coach TCU took an early 13-4 lead. UNM had eight turnovers in the first 10 minutes, but the Lobos were able to rally back and go into halftime with the scores tied at 38. The Lobos turned over the ball 16 times in the game, and Alford said TCU put his team under a lot of pressure, which forced the turnovers.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought they did a really good job with their pressure, and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle it well,â&#x20AC;? Alford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They scored a lot on transition play and they do that a lot in this building.â&#x20AC;? UNM continued to keep the game close in the second half, but with 13:31 left and the scores tied at 48, TCU went on a 16-3 run to effectively end the game for the Lobos. Alford said the second half lapse was the worst he had seen all season, but he credited TCU with being a very good team at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played about as poorly in the second half as we have played all year,â&#x20AC;? Alford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But our league is hard. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to tell people that.â&#x20AC;? TCU was 11-25 from 3-point range and shot more than 45 percent for the game. The Lobos only made four of their 17 3-point attempts, but shot almost 42 percent from the floor. Senior forward A.J. Hardeman led UNM with 15 points and six rebounds. Williams was the only other player in double figures with 10 points.
Sports Briefs Baseball
SAN ANTONIO, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The baseball team dropped three of its four games this weekend away to University of Texas-San Antonio. After dropping two of three to Nevada to start the season last weekend, the losses continued on Friday as the Lobos lost 13-3. UTSA jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but UNM tied it with three runs in the fourth inning, and that was all they would score. UTSA then scored 10 unanswered runs in the final five innings to win the game. During Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double-header in the early game, the Lobos jumped ahead early with three runs in the first inning, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look back as they won 14-7. In the second game of the day, the Lobo offense struggled and the Lobos fell 3-2. On Sunday, with the series on the line, UTSA scored four runs in the first inning and UNM struggled to come back from the early deficit. It lost 8-4. The Lobos are now 2-5 for the year, and play No. 15 Oklahoma in a threegame home series this weekend.
Softball
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The softball team continued its great start to the season, going 4-1 at the Cathedral City Classic. On Thursday, in the early game, UNM mercy-ruled No. 14 Texas A&M in six innings, 15-3. The Lobos were leading 5-3 going into the sixth inning before scoring nine unanswered runs in the final inning to win.

UNM got the game-winning run in the fourth inning and held on to win. On Saturday, the Lobosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hot streak continued, as they beat UC Davis, 7-5. After four innings UC Davis had a 5-4 lead, but the Lobos scored three in the fifth inning to win their fourth straight. On Sunday, the team dropped its first game in the tournament as it lost 4-2 to Cal Poly. The loss takes them to 13-2.

New Mexico Daily Lobo
Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg
Twinkle, twinkle, little star. Capricorn—Trying to satisfy your
Taurus—When you feel like you’ve
need for comfort with material goods will be like closing a gunshot wound with a Band-aid. Temporary fixes to get you through stressful spikes in daily activity will hardly provide you the relief you need this week. Although it will take more time and energy, two resources you are reluctant to spare, you need a major lifestyle readjustment. This doesn’t need to torture you; once you’re used to the changes, you’ll be unable to believe how you ever kept up your former lifestyle. Aquarius—You have a tendency to consider emotional displays a sign of weakness, especially in stressful situations that benefit from a level head more than a bleeding heart. This week, question the reasoning behind your devotion to logic. If you follow the chain of reactions far enough, you might discover that stressful situations are fed by bitter feelings built up over time. Let it all out and don’t be afraid of how you might look in the process. You’ll feel better for it and can begin to work on regularly releasing. Pisces—No matter what is happening in “reality,” all you see is sun beaming over a field of dandelions. The world is your best friend and you’ve got love practically oozing from your pores. The attention you receive, admiration for your beaming aura, may be more than you like however. Don’t let the wrong kind of attention rain on your day. This is a rare week when you can maintain your life from a distance, free to fantasize in whatever world you please. Don’t hesitate to take advantage. Aries—A stormy night in your life has settled to a gloomy mist. This week, a bleak morning, will have you feeling quite sober and somber. Self-doubt is your most fatal flaw as you become trapped in a pattern of aggression in an effort to prove yourself. Take a lesson from the water that got you down, that carves the Earth as a matter of course. settle in for a long stretch of persistent, stable effort that will surprise you with the distance it gets you.
got nothing left to give, there are few remedies that beat reinvention. You are a creature of habit and routine, but when the rut grows too deep and you stagnate, you know it’s time to get out of it. Next week, a refreshing relationship will blossom for you but first you need to get back on an even keel. Look for inspiration not in other people you wish to be, or be like. Get to the center of yourself and find out who you really are. Gemini—Look for doses of nostalgia you can take throughout the week to keep your spirits up. Sometimes when you’re feeling down, you look for comfort in the company of others. This week that will only distract you from a deeper need. That is, you need to get in touch with your inner child and remember what it was you envisioned yourself to be when you were younger. If the former “you” is unsatisfied with the present, now is the time to get to where you wanted to be. Cancer—When your life is feeling out of control, there is nothing more consoling that a comfortable home environment. Like a bird, you devote yourself to maintaining your domestic life, cushioning the nest with soft feathers and trying every day to bring home the juiciest worms for you and your dependents. However, any instability you suffer for the next couple weeks will not be solved by creature comforts. Find out what’s bothering you and deal with it directly. Leo—Every species has unique mating rituals. Potential mates judge each other based on the traits they find valuable; chimps prefer others who appear old, though for many humans this is not the case. You’ve been pining for a member of another species, someone you know you don’t belong with but are attracted to nonetheless. Learn a lesson from this person as no attraction is causeless. If you want someone to love, you’ll have to get in touch with yourself and find whom you truly belong with. Virgo—Unless you regularly become
lucid in the dream world, dreams can be bizarre and frustrating. It takes hours to complete simple task and the clock is all gobblety-gook. Life under the Pisces influence is like a dream state and your typical clear head rebels against it to a maddening end. There’s a kind of logic and flow to this world if you give in to it. Don’t think so much and you’ll be surprised at how much just falls into place as if you had planned it all along. Libra—Niggling interactions are likely to dominate your social scene this week. Something is bothering you and though you realize you’re acting childish, you can’t seem to help yourself. Sometimes it’s easier to play the blame game so you don’t have to accept the heavy burden of responsibility for your actions. Sooner or later you’ll exhaust the people you need for support, so fix whatever it is you’re accusing them of. This week, work on taking care of yourself and calming your interactions with others. Scorpio—The muse has finally visited you, so nurture your creative spirit as long as you can. This does not necessarily mean drawing all day; even business people and politicians get creative. All you have to do is let your mind roam the possibilities in front of you, as if searching the library for the right tale to hop into. Ride the wave of mania that accompanies inspiration as far as it takes you; the crash may be hard, but at least you’ll know you’ve enjoyed the ride and gotten all you wanted out of it. Sagittarius—You may feel you’re becoming a stranger to yourself. Last week, you succumbed to emotions begging to be let out. Because you’re so resistant to letting people in on how you really feeling, this was probably a spectacular display that is causing you to do anything to forget about it. The key is to not be ashamed because you’re human and others saw that in you. It is a relief to get everything off your chest. Forgive yourself for it, and leave it in the past.

Men lose MWC, leap away with 2 school records by Thomas Romero-Salas tromeros@unm.edu
The men’s track team finished the weekend with an Olympic trial qualifier and four first-place finishes, but it still wasn’t enough to win the MWC. The Lobos set a school record for most points in a MWC meet with 141 points, besting the old record of 123.5. Air Force scored 156.5 points and Boise State earned 154. Head coach Joe Franklin said he was pleased with the results. “We had a great weekend competing against two great teams,” Franklin said. “The kids performed extremely well. We had a lot of conference champions, school records and a Mountain West record.” Junior long jumper Kendall Spencer broke the decade-old MWC record on Friday in the long jump, with a leap of 7.81 meters, to win the event. The jump also broke the 29-year-old school record and qualifies Spencer for the Olympic trials. “He had an unbelievable meet and now he’s No. 4 in the country,” Franklin said. Spencer wasn’t the only Lobo to finish first as a jumper. Floyd Ross took first in the triple jump with a leap of 15.73 meters. “Honestly, I didn’t know it was going to be that far,” Ross said. “It was a good jump.” Senior distance runner Ross Millington took first place in the mile run, with a time of 4:07.23. Millington took the lead after the third lap and was challenged by Boise State’s Drew O’Donoghue McDonald with two laps left, but he fended him off and won the race by two seconds. Millington said he didn’t take the lead until the third lap because most of the runners came out quick to start the race. “There were some quick half-milers, so I knew I had to jog out and finish strong,” Millington said. Sophomore mid-distance runner Gabe Aragon won the 800-meter with a time of 1:51.24. Aragon took the lead on turn four of the first lap and on the final lap another runner tried to overtake him but failed, which ensured Aragon’s victory. “I wanted to get out in the front in the first two laps, so that way if I was in front, I could control the pace and control the race,” Aragon said. “If somebody ran me down, I wanted them to earn it.” Aragon would be the last gold medalist for the Lobos in the meet. Freshmen sprinter Beejay Lee tallied two silver medals in the 60-meter and the 200-meter races. Lee came out strong in the 200-meter with a 21.50 second time and won his heat, but lost the title when Charles Silmon of TCU beat Lee’s time with a 21.04 second run. In the 60-meters, Lee had the lead with less than 10 meters to go after a slip by Silmon, but Silmon was able to recover and snag victory by six hundredths of a second. “I didn’t maintain my speed as long as I wanted to. I felt like I declined and as soon as I declined, he was able to come back and get me,” Lee said.
Dylan Smith / Daily Lobo Sophomore Gabe Aragon celebrates as he crosses the finish line first in the men’s 800 meter race Saturday at the Convention Center. The men’s team finished third overall in conference with 141 points.
Women lose MWC, set 3 school records by Mundo Carrillo ecarr50@unm.edu
Dylan Smith / Daily Lobo Junior Tawsha Brazley turns the first corner at the Convention Center Saturday during the 400 meter race. Brazley finished second, as did the women’s team overall with a final score of 116 points.
The women’s track team may not have won the MWC indoor championship this weekend, but it ran away with the best finish and highest point total at an indoor championship in school history. The Lobos placed first in two events and broke three school records. Junior distance runner Josephine Moultrie won gold in the mile with a time of 5:07.80, and finished second in the 800meter run with a time of 2:09.27, a new school record. “I was actually quite pleased with the 800,” Moultrie said. “The pace was very fast from the start and I wasn’t expecting it, but I started to run more even paced and it really paid off.” Junior pole vaulter Amber Menke set a school record in the pole vault with her second-place jump of 4.11 meters. She lost by
.16 meters to San Diego State’s Kelsy Hintz. “I thought she had it won, but the girl from San Diego State had an incredible meet,” head track and field coach Joe Franklin said. Both of the school records that Moultrie and Menke beat were records they had set earlier in the season. The 4x400 meter relay team of junior sprinters Tawsha Brazley, Shirley Pitts, Rachel Kelchner and freshman sprinter Mickey Brown finished third, but broke the school record with a time of 3:43.61. Pitts snagged the conference title in the 400-meter dash with a time of 53.89 seconds and junior distance runner Imogen Ainsworth was second behind Moultrie in the mile with a time of 5:10.87 Senior distance Sarah Waldron took third place in the 3000-meter
