Law students say no thanks to GPSA
by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
Students at the UNM School of Law voted last week to secede from GPSA. Three-fourths of those who voted agreed with the statement, “I vote to withdraw the law school’s affiliation with GPSA.” The number of voters was not readily available this weekend. Genevieve Graham, who helped organize the secession vote, said she had expected the law students to vote in favor of seceding. “I am happy that three-fourths of the law students voted to secede, because I think that will be enough to show the regents that we want to
secede,” she said. The vote was cast through e-mail ballot from Wednesday until Friday. The ballot included three other items, which asked students if the Student Bar Association should represent law student interests to the University, whether the law students should pull all funding from GPSA and whether the current law student fees should be redirected to the Student Bar Association. All items on the ballot had more than 70 percent approval. The Board of Regents will still have to approve the motions before the school can create its own governmental body, Graham said. She said the law school still needs to create a document spelling out how the
law students’ government would function before the motion goes before the regents this summer. “The next regents’ meeting is in the summer, and before that we would put together a proposal that hopefully everyone would read, and maybe we would create a petition, too,” she said. GPSA President Lissa Knudsen said the loss of law students would deprive the GPSA of their expertise. “We’re really going to miss the law students,” she said. “They’re trained to interpret the GPSA constitution, and I think they were effective at that. It’s not just that GPSA benefitted from that ... I think it provided valuable experience for the law students, too.”
Knudsen said seceding from GPSA isn’t in the law students’ best interest. “I think it’s somewhat shortsighted. There might be a time in the future when law students would benefit from speaking with a unified voice with GPSA,” she said. Knudsen said the secession of the law school could lead other groups to follow their example. “This could potentially result in other departments wanting to secede from both student governments,” she said. “That could cause problems.” Graham said she supported the secession because GPSA’s interests don’t align with the law students’ interests.
“Secession has been talked about because the interests are too attenuated and not aligned, especially in the last couple of years, when GPSA has taken up some strange battles,” she said. Graham said an example of the separation of interests is GPSA’s decision to speak out against UNM’s Athletics Department last semester. “I think GPSA sort of went on a crusade to kind of denounce the actions of the Athletics Department. I don’t think that’s relevant to the interests of the law school,” she said. “I think they should be more focused on things like keeping tuition down.”

‘Whose streets? Our streets!’ by Leah Valencia Daily Lobo
Community members paid homage to civil rights activist Cesar Chavez Saturday yelling “Whose streets? Our streets!” while marching through neighborhood after neighborhood, reminding residents that social and economic equality is obtainable. Lt. Gov. Diane Denish and Mayor Richard Berry showed their support for Chavez’s fight, saying that his message is one of community. “This gave me a chance to stand up and honor a man that gave his life to better his community,” Berry said. “And to talk about the idea that if we, as individuals, take the time to stand up and dedicate our time and our energy to causes that we believe in, then we are going to make this a better place.” Denish agreed that Chavez represents a victory for workers, but said that the fight for equality is far from over. “This is a celebration of workers’ rights, equality and justice,” she said. “I think sometimes we forget that even with all the gains we make we still have a long way to go.” More than 300 people showed their support by marching from the Westside Community Center to the National Hispanic Cultural Center of New Mexico where the Recuerda a Cesar Chavez Committee organized a
day of festivities to commemorate the victory of gaining workers’ rights. Chavez was a Mexican-American farm worker who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962. He employed boycotts, fasting and nonviolent activism throughout his life to improve conditions for farm workers. Chavez’s daughter, Liz Chavez Villarino, said the celebration was a remarkable tribute to her father because so many people came together. “Everyone has taken on his message in their own communities,” she said. “There is always a lot more to do, but as long as everyone works together and fights for what their community’s needs are, that is the greatest tribute to my dad.” Denish said that especially during times when money is tight, communities should be working to help each other. She said volunteering can help bring communities together and be an economic contribution. “I am a big supporter of community engagement and involvement,” she said. “I think anytime you have enthusiasm and people coming together over shared values that is the most important thing. That is what improves our communities.” Denish went on to say that students can make great contributions to their communities and their

Administration caps fees, student groups take action by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
Student organizations and governing bodies are speaking out against an administrative recommendation that prohibits student fees from increasing this year. Eliseo “Cheo” Torres, vice president of student affairs, suggested that all new-money

recommendations from the Student Fee Review Board be ignored to keep student fees at their current level. If UNM President David Schmidly adopts the recommendation, which avoids a $10 student fee increase to $447.28, several organizations will go unfunded. The organizations include the Public Interest Research Group, Community Learning and Public
Service and the Research Service Learning Program. Torres also recommended that the Queer Resource Center — another new-money recommendation — go without startup funding this year. So, representatives from ASUNM, GPSA, the Queer Resource Center and New Mexico Public Interest Research Group are hosting a joint press conference today decrying
the recommended cuts. In a press release released by PIRG on Friday night, representatives from the organization said the fee increase is justified and that the administration is overstepping its bounds by ignoring the SFRB’s recommendations. “Student activities and programs are a vital part of the college experience. It’s in this spirit that students should have control over their fees

Today in History
On March 29, 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage. They were executed in June 1953. In 1638, Swedish colonists settled in present-day Delaware. In 1790, the tenth president of the United States, John Tyler, was born in Charles City County, Va. In 1792, Sweden’s King Gustav III died, nearly two weeks after he had been shot and mortally wounded by assassins during a masquerade party. In 1847, during the Mexican-American War, victorious forces led by Gen. Winfield Scott occupied the city of Veracruz after Mexican defenders capitulated. In 1867, Britain’s Parliament passed the British North America Act to create the Dominion of Canada. In 1882, the Knights of Columbus was chartered in Connecticut. In 1943, World War II rationing of meat,

Calley, Jr. was convicted of murdering 22 Vietnamese civilians in the My Lai massacre. Calley ended up serving three years under house arrest. In 1973, the last United States combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct military involvement in the Vietnam War. In 2000, President Bill Clinton told a news conference he was appalled when he first learned his campaign had taken illegal foreign donations in 1996 — contributions he called both wrong and unneeded. In 2000, a federal judge ruled that President Clinton had “committed a criminal violation of the Privacy Act” by releasing personal letters to undermine the credibility of Kathleen Willey, who’d accused him of an unwelcome sexual advance.

GPSA clarifies eight (8) amendments by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
The Graduate and Professional Student Association held a special meeting Saturday to clarify the constitutional amendments on which graduate students will vote. The GPSA election will be April 19 through 22, and the ballot will allow students to vote for a president, as well as eight amendments, said GPSA President Lissa Knudsen. All amendments were passed by GPSA last October. One amendment requires that the more than 40 committees that operate under GPSA write meeting reports and submit them to the president. The committee’s president is responsible for taking

attendance, finding out where all the meetings are and monitoring each committee, but Knudsen said that duty isn’t realistic. “It wasn’t just me who had a problem with this — it was previous presidents, too,� Knudsen said at the meeting. “Requiring the committees to make reports provides accountability.� Another amendment puts the GPSA president in charge of the GPSA Web site. Danny Hernandez, GPSA council chair, said that no one person was in charge of the site in the past, which created confusion in the council. “I think it’s a sign of the times,� Knudsen said. “The constitution was created when Web sites didn’t exist, and now they do.� The president’s financial
stipend will also be more clearly defined, Knudsen said. Presidents who have a master’s degree and those who don’t will get the same amount, she said. This change makes it easier for GPSA to make their budget, she said. One amendment defines when the executive council – the president, council chair and committee chairs – can make decisions in the presence of the entire council. The amendment limits the executive council’s power to make decisions only in the summer, intersession and in an emergency. Other amendments are simple changes that make the constitution consistent, Knudsen said, such as adding numbers in parentheses after numbers are spelled out.
take this opportunity to send a message to GPSA.� Knudsen said some non-law school graduate students were also in favor of the law school forming its own student government.
“Many grad students have the perception that law students feel separate and superior to the other grad students,� she said. “I have had many grad students come up to me and just say, ‘Let ‘em go.’�

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: Tito Ingeniert is giving a new meaning to “99 bottles of beer on the wall.” Six million bottles later, a man in the town of Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina has made his home entirely out of beer bottles. He said he didn’t have anything else to make his home out of, so he just started building with bottles. With a campus of thirsty students, we end up with a surplus of empty glass bottles every year. If we built one building out of the excess glass, which one do you think would be best? Out of 50 responses

THIS WEEK’S POLL:
A government report concluded Thursday that Mexican criminal organizations have more than doubled heroin production in a year and established their role as the predominant wholesale suppliers of illicit drugs in the United States. The National Drug Threat Assessment found that Mexican groups were the only drug trafficking enterprises operating in every region of the United States. With violence exploding at the borders and Mexico becoming the No. 1 supplier of drugs for the U.S., it looks like things will only escalate. What do you think needs to change before the power will be taken from the Mexican cartels? Legalize it all and then tax it heavily like alcohol or tobacco. Erect a gigantic wall across the entirety of the southern United States. I like the wall idea, but we need more lasers. Devote more funding to war on drugs.

LETTER Bailout ignores innovation, wastes taxpayer dollars Editor, Congress apparently needs a refresher course in economic theory, particularly the concept of competitive advantage and the benefits of free trade to an economy. While Congress has the responsibility to make educated decisions to create a better future for Americans, they tend to listen to unions, lobbyists and corporations more than their constituents. After the financial meltdown in 2008, Americans expressed needs for new job creation, higher wages and the stabilization of the markets to help some citizens recover a portion of the billions of dollars in lost investment and retirement income. The majority of Americans never rallied for the protection of one industry at the expense of the taxpayers. In fact, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll from Dec. 8, 2008, 54 percent opposed giving automakers up to $34 billion in federal loans, while 37 percent supported it. Yet, while the majority was against it, Congress poured billions of dollars in bailout money into the “Big 3” auto manufacturers: Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Congress
justified the bailout by claiming that the U.S. had already lost over a million jobs — about 300,000 more jobs would be lost as a result of the failure of the Big 3 and millions of jobs in the supply chain could be lost. Allegedly, this action was the only way to prevent the loss of those jobs and to protect the industry. Protecting certain jobs and certain industries at taxpayers’ expense and against popular opinion is a shortsighted and economically weak decision. The economic theory of comparative advantage dictates that a country will ultimately have a lower gross national product and lower standard of living if, rather than importing certain products, the country continues to waste valuable resources producing items another country has a comparative advantage in producing. In that situation, the country as a whole suffers. Last October, a leading U.S. economist stated that job growth in the U.S. won’t be in the manufacturing sector, but rather that strong sources of job growth would be in areas where America has a comparative advantage in brainpower, and the country has to keep generating innovations in order to keep generating the employment gains. Innovation is key to job growth in the U.S., not protecting failing industries that have failed to keep up with the times. By redirecting the resources used to bail out the Big 3 to support innovative industries in the U.S., new jobs would have been
created and resources would be properly allocated to reach the most beneficial outcome. While Congress predicted the loss of roughly 1.3 million jobs if the auto industry failed, President Barack Obama has stated he wants the U.S. to create five million “green” jobs over the next decade, in fields such as solar power and wind energy. It estimated that achieving this goal would require advances in current technology and training which are likely years away. Perhaps that goal could have been reached much quicker had the billions in bailout money been redirected to this goal. President Obama recently granted $2.3 billion in tax credits to assist companies in creating 17,000 green jobs. At about $135,300 per job, that $34 billion could have jumpstarted the creation of over 251,000 jobs in the green energy fields. Delaying the creation of potentially five million jobs to save a little over a million jobs doesn’t make long term economic sense. Congress needs to make decisions with America’s future in mind, and not heed cries for assistance from uncompetitive and failing industries.

FINAL FOUR 69
Elite Eight capsules Michigan State 70 Tennessee
ST. LOUIS — The players come and go, the years pass. About the only thing that doesn’t change is Tom Izzo and Michigan State’s mastery in March. The fifth-seeded Spartans are on their way to their second straight Final Four and sixth in 12 years after Raymar Morgan’s free throw with less than two seconds left lifted Michigan State to a 70-69 victory over Tennessee in the Midwest Regional final Sunday. “There is nothing greater than going to a Final Four that I know of,” Izzo said, “except winning it.” No team in the country — not North Carolina, not Kansas, not UCLA, not Kentucky — has been better during the Spartans’ run. And all six of those trips have come under Izzo, the hard-nosed coach who preaches defense, rebounding, defense, physical play, and have we mentioned defense? Izzo, who took over from longtime mentor Jud Heathcote for the 1995-96 season, is 6-1 in the regional finals. His only loss was to
top-seeded Texas in 2003. “Tom Izzo does his best in the NCAA tournament,” said Magic Johnson, who sat in the Michigan State cheering section and embraced Izzo after the game. “He loves the big moment. He understands what -he needs to do against every team. He comes up with a great game plan every single time. He deserves all the credit in the world.” The Spartans, last year’s national runner-up, will be looking for championship No. 3 next weekend in Indianapolis. They play Butler, also a No. 5 seed and sure to be the hometown favorite, in the semifinals Saturday night. West Virginia 73 Kentucky 66 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Country roads, take me home. Or better yet, Indianapolis. It’s almost heaven, West Virginia. Da’Sean Butler and the Mountaineers are off to the Final Four for the first time since 1959. Joe Mazzulla scored a careerhigh 17 points in his first start this season and West Virginia handled a cold-shooting Kentucky team
stocked with future NBA players almost from the opening tip for a 7366 victory in the East Regional final Saturday night. “It’s something we’ve been preaching,” Butler said. “Not even just two more. Ever since we won our first game. Five more, four more, three more. It doesn’t mean anything unless you win the whole thing.” Butler 63 Kansas State 56 SALT LAKE CITY — Every day they walk into practice, they also walk onto a movie set — the one where they filmed the story about the little team that gets its big chance and lives out the unthinkable dream. That’s the story of “Hoosiers.” That’s also the story of Butler — the team that’s reminding everyone that big schools with big money don’t have a monopoly on everything in big-time sports. Yes, the boys from Butler did it — getting 22 points from Gordon Hayward to defeat Kansas State 6356 in the West Regional final Saturday and advance to the Final Four. Next, the Bulldogs take their

24-game winning streak to downtown Indianapolis. Though only five miles from the Butler campus, it’s hard to think of many programs that have taken a longer, more unlikely road to get this close to a championship. Duke 78 Baylor 71 HOUSTON -- Nolan Smith scored 29 points and Duke returned to the Final Four for the first time in six years by beating Baylor 78-71 on Sunday in the South Regional final, ending the Bears’ road to college basketball redemption. Jon Scheyer added 20 for the Blue Devils (33-5), the only No. 1 seed to advance to Indianapolis. It is their 11th trip to the Final Four under coach Mike Krzyzewski. Duke will be playing in the national semifinals for the first time

since 2004, against East Regional champion West Virginia. The Blue Devils have won 11 of their last 12 regional finals under coach Krzyzewski, but haven’t won a national title since 2001. Smith and Scheyer helped Duke offset a poor game from junior forward Kyle Singler who was 0 for 10 from the field and only made five free throws. It was the first time in his college career he failed to hit a field goal.

ther along in the recruiting process. “It’s not fun to look at the win-loss record,” Singleton said. “But this type of schedule can definitely knock you back or it can make you stronger. I think we’ve gotten stronger.” Thing is, does Athletics Director Paul Krebs share the same feeling? Or will Singleton and the Lobos be judged strictly by their win-loss total at the end of the season, when Singleton is re-evaluated? “It’s very possible,” Singleton said. “I can’t control what the administration, what the public, what anybody else thinks. For me personally, there were some mistakes early that we’ve been paying for ever since. But we’re climbing out, and we’ll just see how long we get to climb out until we’re moving forward.”

Lumberjacks executed on the chopping block Bookstores Staff Report Daily Lobo
Axed. The UNM men’s tennis team swiftly dispatched Northern Arizona 7-0 on Sunday at the Linda Estes Tennis Center. The Lobos, 5-7 overall, relinquished a combined five games to the Lumberjacks (8-6) during doubles play. No. 1 doubles partners Jadon Phillips and Phil Anderson easily subdued the Lumberjacks’ duo of Kevin Taylor and Josh Brown, 8-1, while Joe Wood and Carl Ho beat Hugo Ramadier and David Flodberg identically, 8-1. Solidifying the third doubles match, Lobos Ben Dunbar and Conor Berg beat NAU’s Patrick Schimmelbauer and Robin Pezzutto, 8-3. UNM earned the doubles point for the first time in six matches, something not lost to head coach Alan Dils. “We’ve worked on a few things — especially in doubles,” Dils said in a press release. “We wanted to be more aggressive — more dynamic — which certainly we did. I thought we did a great job in doubles today.” It didn’t get much better for the Lumberjacks. UNM thumped NAU during singles’ play, winning four of

the six matches in slightly more than an hour. Phillips, Anderson and Wood each won their matches 6-2, 6-0, respectively. Berg, meanwhile, beat Ben Lantz in the No. 6 match 6-1, 6-0. “Our focus was to get up in our matches and finish it off quickly,” Phillips told GoLobos.com. “I think this was a good pre-conference match. We showed how good — how tough — we can be.” In the lone three-set match of the day, Dunbar defeated Schimmelbauer after dropping the first set 4-6, only to reel off the next two, 6-0 and 6-1. “It’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve played, so we we’re certainly hungry,” Dils said. “Not being able to go to Texas Tech and play a couple of matches there, we were just aching to play.”
Maya Moore made a 3-pointer from the top of the key for Connecticut’s first basket. Then she hit one from the left corner. Just like that, another Huskies rout was on. Moore scored 16 of her 25 points in the opening 9 minutes and seemingly invincible UConn took it from there to roll over Iowa State 74-36 in a regional semifinal Sunday. “Connecticut is certainly as good as advertised,” Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said. “I don’t think I’ve had a whipping like that since I was a little kid and I broke something of my mom’s.” Kelly Faris came off the bench for 16 points and Tina Charles also had 16 for the Huskies (36-0), who extended their unprecedented winning streak to 75 in a row. The Huskies have won their first three games in the tournament by a combined 148 points — the most ever. UConn easily surpassed the previous mark of 131 it set in 2000 and 2001. A frequently overlooked strength of the Huskies — team defense — was evident. Iowa State came in shooting 43 percent from the field but made just 15 of 53 shots for 28 percent. The Cyclones, one the nation’s pre-eminent

3-point-shooting teams, were rattled into going just 6 of 25 behind the arc, with most of the damage they did do behind the arc coming after the game was all but over. “I know it sounds like a broken record from me, but going into today’s game I wasn’t really sure how we were going to keep them from making a bunch of 3s,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “I can’t tell you how well this group played defensively, how they locked into the scouting report and how well they prepared. They just played exceptionally well defensively.” Anna Prins scored 10 points for Iowa State (25-8), which fell far short of duplicating the biggest win in program history. The Cyclones had stunned top-seeded UConn 64-58 in the regional semis in 1999. Not this time. The outcome was never in doubt after Moore hit her first four 3-pointers. She’s hit 12 of her 17 3-pointers so far this tournament. “(The Huskies) are the best team I think I’ve seen,” said Iowa State star guard Alison Lacey, who had nine points, seven under her average. Like many of the 74 before it, the latest UConn win was decided early.

Pitcher-Perfect Ending
Daily Lobo
The UNM baseball team’s pitching staff has given head coach Ray Birmingham fits all season. The Lobos’ pitching was so bad last week, Birmingham is lucky the stress didn’t give him a nervous breakdown. But thanks to right-handed pitcher Bobby Mares’ terrific performance on Sunday, Birmingham can relax. The Lobos won 12-7 on Friday and 8-5 on Saturday against San Diego State. UNM, 17-9 overall and 4-2 Mountain West Conference, finished a three-game sweep with a 5-4 win on Sunday at Isotopes Park. “The pitching — that’s the thing I have been bitching about — it was great today,” Birmingham said. “I think we have to be a little bit better on the back end. It’s still a little shaky. You
know — a lead off walk in the ninth? You can’t have that. You can’t do that. We have got to get better. But Bobby pitched his ass off, and he was focused on hitting his spots. That kid’s a freshman. He is going to be a great Lobo.” Perhaps it is the start of a great career for Mares. Mares pitched 6.1 innings, gave up four hits and three walks. But more impressive were his six strikeouts that racked up over the first four innings, which included seating the first two Aztec batters of the day. “I just tried to pound the zone low, and they got some guys that hit,” Mares said. “Obviously, the middle of the order, they have got some big guys. But I tried to stay low in the zone, and I figured if I stayed low they weren’t going to hit any out.” Mares was on point from the first pitch, but it took UNM a few innings to get the bats going. After Mares struggled in the top half of the
third, the Lobo offense got its act together. In the bottom of the fourth, Justin Howard hit a solo home run off SDSU pitcher Ethan Miller over the left wall that cut SDSU’s lead to 3-1. Howard said the game was moving too fast for him and he wanted to slow it down. “I needed to see the ball for a long time,” Howard said. “(Miller) gave me a fast ball and I put a good swing on it. Anybody we play now is marking me down in their scouting report. They are definitely pitching to me tougher, and I just got to take what I can get and do what I can.” The Lobos added two runs each in the fifth and sixth innings to gain a 5-3 lead. “We are changing our mascot to ‘rally,’” Birmingham said. “We are the ‘Rally-bos,’ and we have got to get a rally monkey from somewhere.” San Diego State made things a little bit scary for UNM in the eighth inning. Brandon Meredith hit a solo homer off Kenny Toves,

who replaced Mares in the seventh inning, pulling Aztecs to within one. But the UNM bullpen came through for Birmingham. Closer Gera Sanchez capped the ninth with a 4-6-3 double play. “It was really huge for us as far as standings and as well as our team,” Howard said. “The sweep definitely brought the team closer together and has given us confidence. Maybe now we can roll through conference and come out in first place.”
LOBO SOFTBALL
Conference pipe dreams persist despite harsh reality by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
The only possible explanation for Lobo pitcher Samantha Gatson’s “it’s not that bad” attitude is she’s being tutored by the University’s famous eternal optimist, Mike Locksley. Or she got hit in the head by a line drive. No matter how many times the UNM softball team was reminded how grisly its play was against No. 2 Arizona, the players were prepared with some silver-lining remarks. Of the most mystifying, Gatson predicted the Lobos will finish in first place in the Mountain West Conference standings, despite being 1019 overall after Sunday’s run-ruled 14-0 disaster to the Wildcats, part of a three-game shelling handed out by
Arizona. The Lobos dropped three contests to the Wildcats — the first two, 8-0 on Friday and 10-2 on Saturday — and have one more nonconference game against in-state rival New Mexico State on April 6, before Gatson supposes UNM will make its magical run in the conference portion of the season. “We’re taking it all in conference. We’re going to be No. 1,” she said. “No exceptions.” When reminded of how the Lobos have fared during nonconference, Gatson shrugged, hardly moved by the assertion that UNM has lost 12 of its 29 games this season by five runs or more. “Hey, (nonconference) is nonconference,” she said. “We’re going to take it.”
Whatever the case, there was no shortage of bad over the weekend, said Lobo head coach Ty Singleton, in a self-depricating manner. “This is just one of those games that we’re going to have to put behind us,” he said. “For the week, there’s positives. For today, there’s little things here and there, but I don’t think it’s of value to share publicly.” Man, Singleton was spot on. Where to start? The Lobos gave up 32 combined runs on 36 hits in the three-game series. Meanwhile, they didn’t have a hit on Sunday. By the time the third inning rolled around, the Wildcats had an insurmountable lead, using an eight-run second inning to build a 9-0 lead. “When you start off 9-0 before you’ve even had your No. 5 hitter come up, yeah, that’s demoralizing,”
Singleton said. More realistically, Gatson said that was one of the best hitting staffs the Lobos faced all year. “Even if you hit your spots, throw the ball where you want it, they get a bat on it,” she said. “There’s no excuses for the amount of runs that we gave up. It was a poor weekend.” If it’s any consolation, the Lobos have played one of the most unforgiving schedules, facing No. 1 Washington, No. 2 Arizona and No. 3 Missouri (now No. 4) — all resulting in losses. UNM has also faced Baylor, which was ranked 25th at the time, and then-No. 21 Illinois. Those two were also losses, but the Lobos squeezed by 23rd-ranked Louisville, 6-5, on March 19. Throughout, Singleton said, UNM’s been bombarded with inju-
ries to key members of its roster. Shenise Cox recently got the cast on her right arm removed. She’s been limited to pinch-running situations for much of the season. Katie Gilmore has been battling a bad back, and Singleton said he is resting her until conference. On Saturday, Erin Brandow took a line drive in the knee, while Danielle Castro has been hobbled by a quad injury. Aside from injuries, why would Singleton, knowing how brutal those games could turn out to be — and did turn out to be — schedule such punishing competition? Well, Singleton said, this schedule was composed about two or three years ago. Admittedly, Singleton said he thought the program would be far-
