Regents pass $10 student fee hike by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo

Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Regent Don Chalmers listens to a presentation during the budget summit Friday in the SUB. The Board of Regents voted to increase tuition and fees 7.9 percent, or $405.

The Board of Regents voted to increase tuition and fees by $405, and $64 of that increase is not covered by the NM Lottery Scholarship. The regents have until April 30 to tweak the increase, but if it stands, tuition and fees will be about $5,505 per undergraduate student per semester. Graduate students will face an increase to $6,040. The tuition increase is made up of a 5 percent “tuition credit,” which was recommended by the legislature at its last session, and a 3.5 percent hike added by the regents at their budget summit Friday. The 3.5 percent addition is meant to help compensate for legislative cuts and other budgetary shortfalls resulting from the economic downturn. Also, the Board of Regents passed the $10 student fee increase

recommended by the Student Fee Review Board, an increase that goes to three organizations and the Queer Resource Center. The regents also unanimously approved $54 in additional fee increases for Athletics, University libraries, Information Technologies and some building projects on campus. The four organizations initially asked the regents for $20 a piece, but Regent Gene Gallegos proposed cutting the requests in half, a proposal the regents adopted. Student fees are not covered by the NM Lottery Scholarship, so all increases in student fees come out of student pockets. With the increase, student fees now total around $514 per student. The passage of the SFRB recommendations came as a relief to many students on campus who have demonstrated in favor of the $10 increase

Pink Floyd has crossed the magenta line ROOFLESS by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo

The name on his driver’s license says Lawrence Floyd, but he introduces himself as Pink while strumming an air guitar and humming his favorite Pink Floyd song, “Comfortably Numb.” Floyd is one of the hundreds who will sleep on the streets of Albuquerque tonight. As he introduces himself he does not ask for change, only an

ear to listen to his story. “I’ve been nothing but homeless,” he said. “You can’t tell by looking at me. I’ve been homeless here going on for seven years now.” Floyd has a normal look. He wears a black Fender T-shirt, black Dickies pants and grey tennis shoes. His ponytail is tied back tightly to his head, and except for a couple loose hairs, his salt and pepper top is neatly groomed. His teeth are dirty and his fingernails long. He is no more than 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs roughly 140 pounds. Despite his age, his face has a youthful look. When he flashes his big grin,

Telescopes give hope to outerspace enthusiasts by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo

Researchers and students at UNM are building one-of-a-kind telescopes that may reveal secrets of the universe. The Plains of San Agustin near Socorro will be the site of 53 telescopes as part of the UNM Long Wavelength Array project. On Thursday, UNM researchers and students celebrated the completion of the first telescope with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the LWA research site. Greg Taylor, LWA scientific director, said the telescopes could reveal new phenomena such as galaxies, gamma ray bursts, explosions and undiscovered planets. “We might learn about magnetic fields in planetary systems and one

day decide to visit them,” he said. Each telescope has 256 antennas, which allow researchers to look at the universe with long wavelengths, said Lee Rickard, LWA executive project director. Studying space at a low frequency is challenging because there are many higher-frequency signals coming from everyday products like computers or garage door openers, Taylor said. Rickard said the first telescope isn’t fully operational yet, but it has collected some data. He said the long wavelengths will change the way researchers look at space. “This part of the spectrum hasn’t been explored before,” Taylor said. “We know we’ll see new types of

he looks like a small David Carradine from “Kung Fu.” Floyd was born in 1958 in Albuquerque’s Old Town. He says he has a family home in Golden, a ghost town on N.M. 14 between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. But he chooses to live homeless in an urban life because he does not like the frontier of his family plot. “It’s so far out there, bro, and besides what would I do?” he said. “It’s better to just leave it.” Floyd’s personality is rambunctious and his mind dashes from one topic to another. He said he was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his late

20s. “The things in your life that you experience, you revel in, you have to. Therefore,” he said before pausing to contemplate his thought, a train whistle outside filling the silence. “Help me.” He immediately mentions what bothers him most. “I don’t like when people ask me what I am,” Floyd said. “I want to shout at them that I am a human being, unconditionally, that’s it.” Floyd said he sleeps outside a few times a week. When he first wakes up he goes to a nearby 7-Eleven or Circle K to get a cup of coffee.

“Coffee is on the bitter edge of bitter taste,” he said. “You can go for taste or caffeine. It depends on what you like. It’s a fine line, I’m off in my own world but I think the line is magenta.” Floyd’s adult life began typical. He joined the Navy after graduating high school because he enjoyed the pay and travel. “It was an opportunity that paid well. It would set me up for a few years with a place to live, food to eat, I got to see the world and there were plenty of girls,” he said with a smile. While enlisted, he first slept

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

David Conway / Wolfpack

David Conway is running for ASUNM president on the Wolfpack slate. The Daily Lobo sat down with him to talk about free tickets for athletic events, security and the difference between his opponent and himself. Daily Lobo: Athletics isn’t a necessary part of the educational atmosphere of UNM, so if anything has to be on the chopping block, shouldn’t it be something that is nonessential like free student tickets? David Conway: We have to be sure that we are still building a community at this University. That is an important and vital aspect of the college experience that is going to aid in academics. DL: As a president, what concrete changes can you make to keep student tickets? DC: …The Student Fee Review Board will be run by the ASUNM president next year. I will have to appoint representatives to the Student Fee Review Board from the undergraduate side. There is a lot of control in that recommendation that I can give the president of the University saying that we need to keep

these free student tickets. DL: On your mission statement on the Wolfpack Facebook page, there is no mention of security and safety of the campus. DC: To be honest with you, security is unsaid. It is unsaid that security has to be improved on this campus. And I don’t think it is about lighting or making changes to the infrastructure, as far as paving certain areas or sectioning off parts off that people can’t hide in. It’s about making sure that student understand there is … a police escort that people can use that is on the back of your Lobo ID, expanding that service and making sure that we have more policemen going around. DL: What is the main difference between what your administration would be and what Full Circle’s would be? DC: I was actually reading the other slate’s (Daily Lobo) story on Monday and they talked a lot about us. We have the same amount of Greeks as they do. Those are the facts. And the majority of our slate has been in residents’ life in some capacity. Where I think the

difference is, I think, there is leadership experience and experience from my standpoint, seeing all phases of ASUNM — being an employee of the legislative branch, being a senator winning outstanding senator, being nominated twice for that award, somebody who is now working on the executive side with a lot of the agencies, somebody who has worked for an administrator and understands that whole aspect. … DL: The other presidential candidate also has experience as a senator. DC: I’m talking about working about with the administration-wise. I think that is something that we differ upon. Obviously, I believe we had different roles for the ‘Student Voice for Student Fees’ movement. Also, I think we have a lot of different goals with the residents’ halls goals. We want to continue to work with ACC (American Campus Communities) but we want to increase the roll of eco-reps, which is a program that residents’ hall students are putting on right now to help their neighbors build a better

since early last week. And at the budget summit, almost a dozen students signed up for the public comment session of the meeting. However, Regent President Raymond Sanchez reassured the audience that the board had already decided to pass the increase in an effort to shorten the five-and-a-half-hour meeting. “We’re going to go ahead and pass that,” he said. As a result, six students declined

to speak. This year, the NM Legislature was able to reduce much of its cuts to higher education through stimulus funding. But UNM President David Schmidly said that since the stimulus bill will only provide funding this year, the administration’s task of containing costs and balancing the budget will be much more difficult during the next fiscal year. “This is what keeps me awake at night,” he said. “It’s a lot easier to balance the budget when you know

that you’re dealing strictly with recurring funds. When you have a lot of one-time money in a budget, balancing it becomes much problematic, because you not only have to continue to manage a decline but you have to see money come out of that budget. And it somehow has to be replaced.” Regent Don Chalmers offered an equally bleak summary of UNM’s near future, saying that UNM’s fiscal situation had “more threats than reasons to be optimistic.”

paid for that.” He continues to work as a stagehand, but his profession does not supply a decent living wage. “Any show I make automatic $500,” he said. “On a good year, I can make $25,000. When I do get work it’s fun. It’s a constant reminder, ‘Hang in there Floyd, rock on.’” He loves music and has dreams of musical recognition. During the interview he strums an acoustic guitar, hitting the chords with his long fingernails. He plays the first song he learned when he was 11, Black Sabbath’s “The Rebel.” “I would love to get the right musicians, the right equipment, get the stuff for real and put it on a tape,” he

said. “Do it Michael Jackson style.” Being homeless in Albuquerque is tough, Floyd said. He said most of the people he meets on the street have issues with drug abuse, mental health and unemployment — sometimes all at the same time. However close to California, the climate of New Mexico is one of the best environments for homeless people to find themselves, Floyd said. His long days are tiresome before he faces the cold night. He has a destination but is not clear what is waiting for him. “I’ll take a ride to McCloud and San Mateo,” he said. “Find anywhere I can curl up.”

kind of telescope is that it’s fairly easy to work with the construction and building the electronics,” he said. “We’re going to get students engaged in eventually all levels.” Graduate students will also begin analyzing data once the telescope is fully operational in March 2011, Rickard said. “Once we begin to get into operation we have a number of graduate students who are very anxious to play with the data for their projects,” he said. Rickard said the telescopes offer a unique opportunity to students,

since it’s the only technology of its kind. “In a lot of astronomy these days, you get your data, but you don’t really get to work with the telescope itself,” he said. “This is going back to an older style of doing things, which we think is better for helping people understand what their data means.” Rickard said the total project will cost about $75 million to construct, and the telescope that was just completed was about $75,000. “These telescopes will help understand what is in the universe and our place in it,” Taylor said.

outside when he was stationed in Thailand. “The beach is pristine,” he said, “It’s like in the movies. You feel like it’s not really there, this is not really happening and everything is perfectly in place.” After the Navy, Floyd said he went to California where he began to work as a stagehand, working concerts for Journey, Santana, Metallica and Poison. “I am a skilled technician, they want me. I’ll work for them, but I won’t groom myself for them,” he said. “I look at the wires in this room, that amp sitting on the floor, the guitar and think about the components that make these things work.

signal sources, including galaxies and objects.” Taylor said New Mexico is the perfect state to build low-frequency telescopes because it isn’t densely populated. The plains are also spacious and empty, which makes them a perfect site for the large telescopes. UNM students in physics, astronomy and electrical and civil engineering have been a vital part of the project, Rickard said. Students have designed how the antennas are laid out, dug trenches for cables and built antennas. “One of the nice things about this

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS:

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? Out of 76 responses

Legalize it all and then tax it heavily 46% like alcohol or tobacco. Erect a gigantic wall across the entire- 10% ty of the southern United States. I like the wall idea, but we need more 26% lasers. Devote more funding to the war on 18% drugs.

THIS WEEK’S POLL: With a 7.9 percent tuition and fee increase, is it fair that head basketball coach Steve Alford will receive $95,000 in bonuses this year? Yes, it’s fair because the Lobos were ranked No. 8 in the nation with 30 wins.

Yes, student fees has nothing to do with coaches’ salaries.

EDITORIAL

No, with the University in financial straights, cuts need to be made across the board.

No, Athletics is not essential to the University’s academic mission and the administration should redistribute his salary.

One guy’s sign said “Tuition is expensive — anything helps.” I wasn’t sure if it was a performance piece or if they were actually going to put drivers’ spare change into their tuition piggy banks just cause someone told them a while back, “Dudes, did you know bums make, like, $50 a day spangin’?” Either way, it was funny to see them out

The Chronicle of Higher Education put the Daily Lobo in their no-particular-order top-10 list of funniest April Fool’s student papers in the U.S. Yeah, we’re a riot over here! And it was so nice, in return, to read the appreciative, insightful comments on Dailylobo.com that day. It’s good to know students and staff can really let loose once in a while and have a good laugh at life. I especially like the post that read “When i went to UNM the Daily Lobo always had a special “April Fools Day” edition. The disclaimers at the top were not required. What the hell are you not learning these days?” Ah, yes, a well-phrased question. Even when the paper isn’t serious, some people

are still whining, unable to quench their insatiable thirst for problems. If you pick up the print version, we don’t have those disclaimers and the reading flows along smoothly. But online, where people can access the stories individually, out of context of the physical layout of the paper, it could be misleading as a real article were it not for the disclaimer. I think they’re silly, too, but there’s a lot of scaremongering going on about student newspapers suffering legal ramifications for their April Fool’s editions. Eva Dameron Editor-in-chief

I am not telling you this to try to win your vote, but rather to inform you and help you to get to know me. I challenge you to take a small amount of time to get to know the candidates running for ASUNM in this election. This election needs to be more than a popularity vote; change needs to happen at our University. Getting to know the candidates is vital, and Facebook is a great place to start. Both slates, Full Circle and Wolfpack, have a fan

page. Making a change at the University does not stop with getting to know the candidates; you also have to get to the polls. Polling days are Thursday, April 8th and Wednesday, April 14th. Figure out who you think will make the best change for the students, the faculty, the University, and then vote. It is that simple. Fifteen minutes of your time could make a difference for the University of New Mexico forever. Think about it; let’s make a change.

ABQ poets’ skills nationally feared by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo

Poets paced in the Outpost Performance Space courtyard on Saturday night reciting poems one last time before the competition. It was a contest between 10 of Albuquerque’s top slam poets to determine the four that would make the national team. Chicago-based slam poet Tim Stafford emceed. He said Albuquerque has one of the best teams in the nation, and the Chicago team usually keeps its fingers crossed that they’re not selected to compete against Albuquerque in national competitions. “As much as we love you, you scare the shit out of us,” he said. The winners were Jessica Helen Lopez, Christian Drake, Hakim Bellamy and UNM student Damien Flores. They will compete at the National Poetry Slam finals in St. Paul, Minn. from August 3-7. Bellamy said he’s optimistic about the team’s prospects in St. Paul. “Everyone who performed was excellent,” he said. “We’ve got very talented writers and performers. If indications of past teams are right, we’ll do some collaborative poems.” Drake’s winning poem was about soldiers receiving a shipment of harmonicas, and he mimed playing harmonica onstage, sucking air from the microphone. In addition to the four winners, Joseph Andrew Romero was chosen as a first alternate, and Faustino Villa was chosen as a second alternate. Romero showcased a poem in which he repeated the refrain “Nothing is linear anymore” at least a dozen times, before concluding with the line “I’m not crazy, just tangled.” Villa read poems that slid fluidly between English and Spanish, and concluded a poem by galloping offstage while yelling “Until next time amigos, yo soy el superfrijol!” Romero said slam’s artistic form comes from the connection

performers have with the audience. “In no other art form are you responsible for what you put out to the audience. Every other form, you do it for yourself,” he said. “In slam, you can’t lose that connection with the audience, ‘cause if you do, you lose.” For those unfamiliar with slam, Romero was referring to the fact that a slam performer is subjected to a judging process. The poets who competed in the finals were rated on a scale of 1 to 10 by five randomly selected judges. The highest and lowest scores were thrown out, and the middle three scores are added together. Audience members are encouraged to boo the judges if they disagree with a score. The event consisted of three rounds. All 10 poets read in the first two rounds, their scores were calculated, and six progressed to the final round. Aaron Cuffee, a former member of the Albuquerque slam team that took the national championship in 2005, said this year’s team has a serious opportunity to win in St. Paul. “It’s a great team. Everyone who made the team has been on at least one city team before, so they’ve got a good basis for estimation of the work they have to do this summer,” he said. “As far as my general handicapping goes, they’ve got a great chance.” Cuffee said the culture of Albuquerque is conducive to slam poetry and art in general. “Albuquerque is a great art city with a great poetic and literary tradition in general,” he said. “And as far as slam, it’s very competitive.”

Team loss overshadows individual victories by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo

Congratulate Last Week’s

Lobo Winners! • Baseball defeated UNLV 7-3 and 6-2 • Men’s Tennis defeated Utah 5-2 • Volleyball won the UNM Spring Inviational

The fangs of inexperience sunk deep into the UNM men’s tennis team, as the Lobos dropped their match 5-2 to No. 32 BYU Saturday at the Linda Estes Tennis Center. “We are a young team. They are a very experienced team,” head coach Alan Dils said. “They are much like we were two years ago, when I was starting all juniors and seniors. They are kind of like that now. Their experience really showed that they can win a couple of key points there to make a difference in a match.” Unlike BYU, the Lobos have one junior, three sophomores and two freshmen. While Dils talked about the woes of a young team, two of the youngest players, Jadon Phillips and Conor Berg, ended up winning their singles matches. “So I talk about a young team, then both our freshman win matches,” Dils said. “Then our guys with experience end up not. That is tennis, too.” Both Phillips and Berg won in three sets after going down a set early. Phillips won 2-6, 7-6, 6-2 in the No. 3 position. Berg won 5-7,62,6-3 in the fifth position. “I finished the game really well,” Berg said. “Lately, I have been a lot more aggressive and match tough. I think the main difference is in that big points I have been doing a lot better. In past matches, I had been losing those big points. And now I’m starting to win them.” As rackets bounced off the court and UNM players screamed at officials, Berg said one of the best parts of his game is his ability to stay positive in a match.

“Today, I was pretty emotional. I think that is one of the things I am really good at,’ Berg said. “I have the mental game. If I miss a few shots, I won’t get too down on my self, and I won’t show that I am getting mad or too negative. But if I win some big points, I will get pumped up and make some noise. And I think that is one of the better parts of my game.” Berg teamed up with Ben Dunbar, the Lobos No. 1 singles player, to win the doubles match, 8-2. Berg said it is a strange feeling — winning while still losing. “It is tough,” Berg said. “I feel like I fought hard and I was satisfied. But the toughest part is losing as a team. I think that is one of the toughest things to do is win then lose as a team.” Dils said his players are concerned with the team aspect of the sport. And no one is satisfied if the team doesn’t walk away on top. “You are happy you won your match, but you are not jumping up and down when you win your match and your team loses,” Dils said. “This team is very close. I think this team is very team-oriented and they want to win the team match. They would be more happy if they lose their match and the team wins.” Still, Dils is encouraged, being that BYU will be the toughest opponent standing in the way of the Lobos’ attempt to defend their 2009 conference regular-season championship. “They are, by far, the highest ranked team in the conference,” Dils said. “It comes down to about two or three or four points. I have to give myself (those) points that would have been the difference in that match.”

conversation this year, even though Locksley lured two quarterback recruits to UNM in Darian “Stump” Godfrey and Tarean Austin — the latter being Texas’ high school Player of the Year. “I don’t see why I wouldn’t have a chance,” Gruner said. “You can be good in other places, but when you step on this field it’s a whole different game.” And a different year, which is why Locksley said he opted to have the quarterbacks shed the protective jersey. “When we have a quarterback that we know is our guy, typically we want to keep upright, keep ’em safe,” Locksley said. While admitting that Holbrook and Gruner have a leg up on the incoming freshmen quarterbacks, Locksley said his system isn’t too difficult to grasp. And it’s possible, if they prove they’re ready, Godfrey or Austin could start immediately as freshmen. In fact, at Locksley’s previous

coaching stops it wasn’t impossible for a freshman to start. At Florida, Chris Leak started as a freshman, as did Juice Williams — one of Locksley’s recruits while at Illinois. “I’ve always said the two guys we recruited are going to have an opportunity to compete for the position,” Locksley said. “As I’ve stated many times, this offense has played two true freshman quarterbacks. That’s the beauty of the system.” That said, Holbrook understands there’s plenty of time for him and Gruner to make names for themselves and earn the starting spot. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint,” he said. Even so, Gruner is prepared in the event that he’s not named the starter come opening day. He said either way he’ll be there for his teammates as moral support. “All of us quarterbacks are a family,” Gruner said. “You’re not going to not like someone because they’re playing over you.”

Sense of unity replaces primadonna attitudes by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

As they walked westward into the sun, all that was visible were the backs of three Lobos, the only distinguishable feature being the numbers on their jerseys. The bench that Michael Green, Levi Rossi and Patrick Pacheco had just sat on during the UNM men’s soccer team’s scrimmage against Colorado State-Pueblo now rested on their shoulders, as they carried it back toward the storage facilities. It was the epitome of Green’s talking points, his spiel about this team’s solidarity. Case and point: Nobody on the current roster, Green said, is above any job, not even carrying back the bench. Without pointing fingers or singling out names, Green hinted that wasn’t the case last season, a sentiment shared by his teammate Michael Reed and head coach Jeremy Fishbein. “If you have a bunch of stars and no chemistry, it doesn’t work,” Green said. “Players that have been here in the past (have had) different views and said, ‘This is how we should do it.’” How the Lobos did it on Saturday was less than flamboyant, devoid of one-on-three encounters and fancy bicycle kicks. It was, nonetheless, just as robotically effective, translating into open opportunities for teammates. The first of the Lobos’ two scores came after Lawrence Robledo created enough space for a lob pass to find him. Robledo charged toward the goal, before being tripped up and drawing a penalty kick. In the name of altruism, though, Robledo deferred to Reed, who banged in the go-ahead goal. That type of display wasn’t lost to Fishbein. “This is just a team of equals, in

Salary

the sense that nobody feels entitled,” Fishbein said. “It’s never equals in terms of ability. This is just an honest, hard-working group. I think this is a little bit more humble team than we’ve had.” At the same time, Fishbein said he encouraged his players to freelance in Saturday’s game, creating scoring opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t have materialized. At times, selfishness is apropos, Fishbein said. “You got to pick your spots,” Fishbein said. “You’re not going to have the same time in a regular game as you are in these games. You can’t get carried away, but, yeah, you want to build confidence.” But it appears this team already has that constructed. Reed said he can expect his teammates to guess where he’s going to be or where he’s going to place a pass, almost as if they have a telepathic connection. “We have a different team than we did in years past,” he said. “We have a system, and the system’s working. I think the guys just have a feel for each other.” That commitment was made back in January, Green said, when the Lobos began painstakingly preparing for the upcoming season. “It’s more of a close-knit group. Everybody just connects,” Green said. “Earlier in January, all those hard workouts, I wouldn’t say they were fun, but more enjoyable to do around teammates. It’s a better environment.” Fishbein said the team has already started to “establish themselves and have an identity.” That identity is uniform — with not one player being the face of the program. “We’re more of team,” Reed said, “rather than trusting just one guy to put it in the (goal).”

had a 2.77. Alford gets $25,000 for winning a conference championship and $20,000 for a NCAA tournament berth. Also, Alford gets an extra year tacked on to his contract after winning a Mountain West Conference championship, which he has done the last two years. He received an extra $10,000 for each of the following accomplishments: 20-win season, top-50 RPI, top-100 strength of schedule, MWC Coach of the Year and beating a top25 team. Remington said Alford was out of town and unavailable for comment. “Let’s hope the attention generated by all of our athletics programs in what could be a historic season of competitive achievement help make UNM an even more attractive destination for young people to earn an education,” Krebs said in the e-mail. Opposition to Athletics’ Salaries Though neither mentioned Alford’s salary specifically, GPSA president Lissa Knudsen and Faculty Senate President Doug Fields spoke against Athletics’ salary budget at the UNM budget summit Friday. Though 84 percent of the Athletics’ budget comes from internal sources, the department took in $2,981,600 from the state and $1,525,842 in student fees in the fiscal year of 2010. Fields said the amount of money Athletics is asking for in salary increases nearly totals the amount asked for in student fees. “This year (Athletics is) asking for $13.3 million in salary, and last year they asked for $12.7 (million). That is an increase of $600,000 in one year, which is about the amount of money that is being asked for in increase in student fees,” Fields said. “So I

oppose this, and I know the Regents can approve it, but it would be nice for the regents to be very clear they believe the increase in salaries is worth the increase in student fees.” Athletics requested a $20 increase in student fees going toward Athletics. The regents voted to cut that in half at the end of the meeting. Knudsen said there is a major gap between Athletics and the average person’s income in New Mexico, which is $48,000. “With regard to the Athletics budget that was presented today, 47 percent of the operating budget goes to personnel cost. … Two-hundredseventy-seven families could live off of the personnel costs we spend on Athletics.” Two New Mexico families could live off Alford’s bonuses, by Knudsen’s estimations. And 22 could live off Alford’s total salary this year. The majority of Alford’s salary comes from media promotions. Because of bonuses that carried over from last year, Alford’s initial salary, before bonuses, was approximately $1,004,000 this year. Alford’s base salary was $239,200 for coaching basketball this season. The rest came from “other compensation, independent income, deferred compensation and incentive salary,” according to his contract as of January, before it was re-negotiated. He received $250,000 to promote the men’s basketball program, $250,000 to make appearances on radio and TV broadcasts. He received $100,000 to wear and have his team wear Nike, the University’s sponsored clothing. He received $65,000 to coach camps over the summer and $100,000 in deferred compensation each year.

Alford gets, like, a bajillion dollars by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo

Already the highest-paid employee at UNM, Lobo head basketball coach Steve Alford is slated to rake in nearly $100,000 in bonuses after the Lobos’ record-breaking season. Last year the Daily Lobo reported that Alford received $45,000 in “incentive pay.” This year, Alford is set to receive $95,000 in bonuses, with an extra $25,000 being added to his base salary next year. Alford’s salary, with bonuses, totals about $1.1 million this year. “Coach Alford has proven to be worth the investment,” said Vice President of Athletics Paul Krebs in an e-mail. Krebs declined a phone interview. Krebs also announced Saturday that Alford agreed to a two-year contract extension, which keeps him here through the 2019-2020 season. Though details haven’t been released, Greg Remington, director of media relations, confirmed that Alford’s new contract will have more bonus incentives. Under the preceding contract, Alford had 16 bonus opportunities. Krebs said that the publicity the Lobos garnered nationally justifies Alford’s salary and extension. “The success of this year’s team has brought an unprecedented amount of national coverage and positive attention to our University,” Krebs said in the e-mail. “While it’s nearly impossible to calculate the financial impact of all the articles and interviews surrounding Lobo basketball, I think it is fair to say it would be in the millions of dollars.” Alford hit seven of his incentives this season, with academic bonuses of $10,000 yet to come. He has the opportunity to get $10,000 if the Lobo team ends with a grade point average of 2.7. As of last semester, the Lobos

LOBO FOOTBALL

Recruits thrown to the wolves by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

On the seventh day, God took a welcome respite from work. On the seventh day of spring practice, Lobo head football coach Mike Locksley worked his quarterbacks through a day of “live” action. Goodbye, black jerseys. Hello, hulking, headhunting linemen. For the first time this spring, the Lobo quarterbacks shed their black jerseys — signifying they can’t be hit — during Saturday’s scrimmage at University Stadium. “We want to see how they react in live situations,” Locksley said. The answer was lively. B.R. Holbrook completed 17-of-22 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown. A glimpse of Holbrook’s elusiveness was on tap when he evaded defensive end Jaymar Latchison in the back of the end zone, scrambling to the right and unfurling a 67-yard strike to wide receiver Ty Kirk, seconds before being hammered by Latchison. “He got hit underneath the chin, stood in there and delivered the ball,” Locksley said. “Typically, that might be a play. When you have the black jersey on, you don’t get to finish the play. It was good to see him stand in there, take a shot and deliver

the ball.” Looking less erratic, Brad Gruner went 10-of-19 for 78 yards, but was picked off in the red zone. He had a pair of running touchdowns as well, perhaps a turning leaf for Gruner heading into the 2010 campaign. “I just try to forget about last year. It wasn’t an easy season,” Gruner said. That just might qualify as the understatement of the year. Despite Donovan Porterie and Holbrook’s struggles — to put it nicely — Gruner remained log-jammed on the depth chart, never so much as playing one series as quarterback. In fact, running back Demond Dennis had more pass attempts — one, which he didn’t complete — than did Gruner last season. Gruner couldn’t peg an exact reason for not being afforded the opportunity to take any snaps under center in a game. “I don’t know. I don’t think I really performed last year good enough to get on the field,” Gruner said. “It would have been nice. I think everybody thinks they deserve a series.” Still, he remains decisively optimistic about potentially breaking into the starting quarterback

see QB page 12

Brad Gruner encourages teammates during a practice on March 27. Gruner will vie with B.R. Holbrook and newcomers Darian “Stump” Godfrey and Tarean Austin for the Lobos’ starting quarterback position. Junfu Han / Daily Lobo
