GPSA, SBA agree to disagree by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo

UNM bids tearful farewell to slain colleagues by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo
On Friday, one month after the death of their colleagues Hector Torres and Stefania Gray, UNM community members gave public condolences during a memorial at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. The two were found on the floor of Torres’ Albuquerque home on March 8. Ralph Montoya, Gray’s ex-boyfriend, confessed to murdering the couple to his lawyer the next day. Torres, 54, was a professor of Chicano/Chicana studies and also taught courses about deconstructionism. To his students, he was a writer who inspired them to think outside of the box by questioning the origin of everything surrounding their environment. To his colleagues, he was a humorous man with a smile that no one will ever forget. “Torres taught me everyone gotta live (up) to their morals,” student Oscar Ortega said to the crowd. Gray, 43, was a mother of two and graduate
student in the foreign languages department. She was going to give her master’s thesis this semester and will receive the degree posthumously. Gray was also a teacher at Bernalillo High School. Ortega and student Robby Ortiz secured the location and raised money to place a commemorative brick in the plaza of the NHCC. More than 80 people attended the event. Most were former students of Torres or worked with him in the English department. Rep. Martin Heinrich was in attendance to offer his condolences. “He was one of those people who simply touched people. All of the things he did as a mentor and a professor and friend keep (him) alive,” Heinrich said. “As long as the way you live your life is to what he impacted, then he’s still alive.” Others expressed the struggle to recapture their daily routine. One mourner said he still calls Torres’ phone line to hear the voice message. Student Alana Cox said she also struggles with the loss. At the memorial she wore a black
dress and dark aviator sunglasses. Tears flowed from her eyes during the entire service. “He was one of the smartest men I knew,” she said. “I would go into class from not understanding anything to understanding fully what he was saying. In his deconstruction class, you didn’t just look at the racial aspect, you were looking at people and sexual and every aspect you could possible imagine. I thought that was great.” Other students also expressed the impact Torres had on their academic future. “He would let us work things by ourselves,” student Alicia Sofia Chavez said. “He wouldn’t say, ‘Hey, this is how you do something.’ He would ask us questions and get our opinions.” Ralph Torres, Hector’s older brother, said he was the only family member in attendance. “As soon as I heard I knew exactly what happened,” he said. “Hector always had a sense of humor. He would find something funny. My favorite memory is when we would start discussing words and language and we would start discussing where things come from and why this means what it does.”
Representatives from the Student Bar Association and GPSA met Friday in a last-ditch effort to reconcile the organizations’ differences. However, the SBA, which represents UNM’s roughly 350 law students, is still planning to secede from the graduate student governing body, said GPSA Council Chair Danny Hernandez. The Board of Regents gets the final say on whether the law school secedes. “I’m disappointed and sad,” Hernandez said. “The theme from the law school is that this is a ship that’s already sailed.” The law students take with them about $8,500 in fees. Corinne Hale, SBA president, said the law student governing body wanted to offer GPSA one more chance to play up the benefits of remaining with the organization. “I think that the meeting, for me, was to make sure that if there were benefits we hadn’t heard of from the GPSA, that we were completely informed of what we would be missing out on,” she said. Hernandez said GPSA has a lot to offer the law school despite their ideological differences. “The law school’s going to miss us in terms of our diverse range of skills and cumulative voice,” he said. However, Hernandez said the SBA did not intend to end all communication with GPSA. “They didn’t want to break all ties,” Hernandez said. “They simply thought they could do a better job of governing themselves.” Hernandez said he will also encourage the GPSA council to vote on legislation that perhaps will leave a better taste in the law students’ mouths. “At the end of the meeting, I told them I would put together a resolution supporting their secession,” he said. “If that’s what they want

Cardenas beats Conway in student organization endorsements by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
ASUNM presidential candidate Lazaro “Laz” Cardenas received twice the number of student organization endorsements than his opponent. Ten organizations including three residence hall community associations, the Residence Hall Association

and assorted other groups endorsed Cardenas. David Conway, Cardenas’ opponent, received five — three from fraternities and sororities. Erin Garcia, president of the Santa Clara/Laguna De Vargas halls’ community association, said her organization endorsed Cardenas, a resident adviser, because he is motivated and capable.
“Laz is a very honest person,” she said. “He has a lot of motivation, and he really cares about the community around UNM. Plus, since we have worked with him as an RA being a part of SC/LDV, we know him fairly well and we know what he’s capable of.” However, Garcia said Cardenas’ involvement in residence halls is not what compelled her group to
endorse him. “Even if he wasn’t an RA, just knowing the person that he is and knowing the work that he has done, that’s one reason why we chose him,” she said. Bridgette Madrid, president of Pi Beta Phi, said her sorority endorsed Conway because he’s personable and a natural leader. “As a whole, my sorority really

Associate Professor Maria Williams’ research incorporates an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and learning about music cultures in Alaska Native indigenous populations. She said she hopes to call attention to a connection between oil profits and the failure of the Native education system.
Daily Lobo: What are you researching? Maria Williams: I concentrate on Native American music and dance. I’m into how tribal people use computer technology. And I just finished writing an article about the political economy of oil and its effects on the Alaska Native K-12 education system. The Alaska Native population is about 20 percent of the overall population and only 37 percent of Native students graduate from high school. Most live in rural Alaska — there are 200 Alaska Native villages. Still, 80 percent of teachers come from the lower 48 (states) … The education curriculum

for the Alaska Native population is developed in Minneapolis or D.C., and the No Child Left Behind Act has compounded the already dismal K-12 education system. Yet oil companies have made $70 to $80 billion in profit, and they want the Natives to leave their villages and move to the cities. What they want to do is eliminate the Alaska Native population. So, I make a connection between the Alaska Native population and the oil and gas business, most of which comes from where the Alaska Native population lives. And I believe that the education system is a gate-keeping mechanism and they want people to fail. They don’t want the Native population to be empowered and educated. DL: Do you think people would be harder to govern if they were empowered and educated? MW: I think it would be harder for resource exploitation.

spill a day. Oil runs the show in Alaska, and it’s politically corrupt. Even the state will not release accurate numbers of the oil profits secured by the oil companies. DL: You mentioned an effort to move the Native populations from rural areas to the cities. Has there been a clear government policy to do that? MW: It’s more subtle. Anything that’s linked to tax issues around funding schools and school infrastructure is underfunded. There’s been consistent underfunding of rural Alaska. I don’t believe they want to see a good education system because then people would question the status quo and ‘Big Oil’ wouldn’t walk away with horrendous profits. It’s very hard for people to make that connection between oil profits and the failure of the Native education system. I make that connection. ~Jeremy Faulkner

Placing Haitian children
an obstacle-ridden process by David Crary Associated Press
NEW YORK — Logistical challenges and potentially bitter disputes lie ahead as passionate advocates of adoption press for changes that might enable thousands of Haitian children affected by the earthquake to be placed in U.S. homes. The obstacles are daunting, starting with a need to register Haiti’s dislocated children. If done right, this would enable authorities to distinguish between children who might be good candidates for adoption and those with surviving relatives willing to care for them. There also will be efforts to overhaul Haiti’s troubled child protection system, update its adoption laws and boost support for family reunification programs in Haiti. But even before those goals are pursued, there are sharp divisions over how vigorously and quickly to seek an expansion of adoptions. A prominent leader of the campaign to bring more orphans to American homes is Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., who believes some of the ma-
jor aid organizations active in Haiti — including UNICEF — are not sufficiently supportive of international adoption. “Either UNICEF is going to change or have a very difficult time getting support from the U.S. Congress,” Landrieu said in a telephone interview. Landrieu and a few other members of Congress visited Haiti last week, meeting with top Haitian officials to discuss the plight of the devastated nation’s orphans. Since the Jan. 12 earthquake, about 1,000 Haitian children have been brought to U.S. families who had filed adoption applications before the quake. That pool of children in Haiti is dwindling, and adoption advocates — including many religiously affiliated agencies — are now ratcheting up their efforts to get a new, larger stream of adoptions in the works. “There is great support in the United States to begin to open up opportunities for adoption as soon as possible,” Landrieu said. “There are thousands of children who don’t have parents or even extended families to be reunified with.”

Ortiz y Pino rallies for campaign support by Jeremy Faulkner Daily Lobo
UNM faculty and students attended a fundraiser Friday night for Democratic Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino’s campaign to be lieutenant governor. About 100 people attended the fundraiser’s array of performances in Winrock Mall, which included three Albuquerque bands and poetry readings by UNM student-poets Damien Flores and Hakim Bellamy. Ortiz y Pino’s campaign raised $8,000 at the event, said Ortiz’s campaign manager. After the poetry session, part-time UNM instructor Mark Rudd became part-time emcee when he introduced Ortiz y Pino with the mantra that, “the road to Washington is through Santa Fe.” Ortiz y Pino then gave a speech in which he called the position of lieutenant governor a “bully pit” where, if elected, he could fight for progressive causes. Among those causes, Ortiz y Pino said, is New Mexico’s public education system. The state’s high student drop-out rate is unacceptable, he said, and he wants to reform it. An educator himself, Ortiz y Pino said he wants to stake out public education as
his area of administration. Ortiz y Pino said the position of lieutenant governor doesn’t affect higher education. However, he did say that the UNM administration and the Board of Regents are fashioned after the corporate model. UNM Professor Renny Golden said Ortiz y Pino’s emphasis on public education makes him preferable over his opponents. “I think it’s (about) having a lieutenant governor who is an education czar,” he said. Kristine Suozzi, former director of New Mexico’s Public Health Department, said she supports Ortiz y Pino because he will fight for funding primary public health prevention services. Ortiz y Pino hopes to mobilize progressive voters, including the student population, to vote for him in the June 1 primary, he said.

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: 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? Out of 122 responses
Yes, it’s fair because the Lobos were ranked No. 8 in the nation with 30 19% wins. Yes, student fees has nothing to do 18% with coaches’ salaries. No, with the University in financial straights, cuts need to be made across 25% the board. No, Athletics is not essential to the University’s academic mission and the administration should redistribute his 38% salary.
THIS WEEK’S POLL: From April 17 to 18, Iran will host a nuclear disarmament summit just four days after Washington concludes a nuclear security summit, which Iran was not invited to. Under the banner “Nuclear energy for everyone, nuclear arms for no one,” Iran calls for a nuclear-free Middle East and an end to nuclear proliferation globally. How do you think the U.S. should react? We should not let them have nuclear energy or arms. Iran should not be trusted.

Daily Lobo guest columnist Do you have stress? Stupid question, right? We all have stress. Do you want stress? Probably not. Although stress isn’t always a bad thing – pressure can make you produce, and sometimes you have to produce – it can harm you, too. From neck pain to strokes, the negative effects of stress are many. I offer you the following physical and mental pearls for instant stress reduction. These sound like temporary fixes, but if you practice them over and over you will find you feel better in the long run. These suggestions require nothing but your own body and mind. First, how do you know you have stress? This is a serious question. What does stress feel like in your body? Is it a clenched jaw? Hunched shoulders? A knotted stomach? Shallow breathing? Everyone feels it differently, although a common denominator is usually muscle tension somewhere. Once you have identified your body’s unique stress expression, place your awareness there, wherever it is. Just turn your attention to that tense body part. How does it feel? Often, simply resting your attention on a tense muscle begins to help it soften. Now keep your mind there and take a few slow breaths. Imagine the breath actually going into whatever muscle area you are attending to. Allow the shoulders to drop, the jaw to open, the tense muscle to relax. Take another deep breath and blow that tension away. Repeat early and often. Other stress solutions include stretching and moving. Even sitting down, you can do brief stretches that make a big difference. Here are a few examples. Let your neck drop
forward and roll it gently around in a circle. Put your hands behind your head and lean back over your chair. Fold yourself in half at the waist and let your body bend, dangling your hands by your feet. Look up from your work at frequent intervals and focus your eyes far away to give your eyes a break. Physical activity is a wonderful stress reliever. Go for a run, hit the gym, play a game of pick up Frisbee or soccer, even take a short walk. Anything is better than nothing. Even a simple lap around the stacks in the library can shake you loose. To sum up the physical stress busters: notice, soften, stretch, move. Those familiar with Buddhism and Alcoholics Anonymous might recognize this wisdom. Consider this. If you weren’t thinking about the exam or paper or overdue bill, you wouldn’t be as stressed about it, right? So don’t think about it. I know it is not nearly that easy. But it is that simple. How much of your thought is spent fretting about something that has already happened or worrying about something that might happen? Most of us spend most of our time mentally absent from the here and now, busily ruminating over the past or obsessing about the future. What’s the point? If it already happened, it’s over. You can’t change it now. If it hasn’t happened, the same thing mostly applies. Unless you can affect the outcome of whatever it is you’re anticipating, you don’t know how it is going to go down. The various possibilities in your mind will only wear you out. Have you ever had the experience of dreading something for days, only to have it turn out totally fine? All that worry was for nothing, right? Imagine those unpleasant hours that could have been joyful instead. How do you go about bringing your mind into the now? Use your senses. When you notice that your mind is fretting, put your attention on your body. Feel your feet on the ground. Look at something, anything, and examine the details. Listen to the sounds around you. Stop and smell the flowers. It sounds corny but it works. This is the part that comes from Buddhism. Meditation, famous now for its health benefits, is basically focused attention on the here and now. What I am suggesting are mini meditations. The other mental bad habit most of us have is confusing what we can control and what we cannot. When you think about it, you’ll see that most of what happens in our lives is out of our control. That idiot driver who cut you
off? There is nothing you can do to change him, and if you think giving him the finger will improve his driving, imagine if the roles were reversed. The exam date next week? The calendar won’t change just because you are freaked out. And your dearly beloved, who is being impossible — even you can’t control his or her actions or speech. The only entity over which you have control in this life is you. If that sounds hopeless, try a different view. You can control your own thoughts and actions, and that gives you enormous power in your own life. When you are feeling stressed, examine the situation, identify the factors you can control and separate them from those you can’t. Then decide what you will do about the things you can control. You can control your own actions and you can control your own thoughts. For example, you are stressed about an upcoming exam. Your friend has invited you to go out tonight. You can choose to stay in and study so you’ll be better prepared for the exam. That will probably make you feel less stressed. Or you can choose to go out. Maybe you need a break. You decide. This matter of control and choice can be applied to your mind, too. If you find your mind gnawing repeatedly on something in the past or future, or something you can’t control, patiently remove that thing and replace it with something else to think about. It is like having a puppy who chews things he shouldn’t. One way to train the puppy is to gently remove the shoe from the puppy’s mouth and replace it with a chew toy. No, Spot, don’t chew that. Chew this instead. Eventually the puppy learns what to chew and what to — pardon me — eschew. You too can train your mind to let go of thoughts that harm you and replace them with thoughts that help. You have a lot more power than you think. This is good news. Use it well. Peggy Spencer is a board-certified family physician.

why more Greek organizations endorsed Conway than Cardenas, especially since both men are in fraternities. Brian Moore, ASUNM elections chair, said this year’s distribution of student organization endorsements is less one-sided than last year. “Last year, I think the split was a bit more lopsided,” he said. “Both

slates are running very competitive campaigns. They’re clearly doing an excellent job of reaching out to students and getting them interested in the election.” Moore also said that the turnout for the early voting election is nearly double that of last year. Moore said 647 students voted early April 8, up from around 350 people last year.
“Hopefully that will translate into a similar turnout on election day,” he said. Moore attributes the rise in early voting to increased student outreach on behalf of the slates as well as hotbutton issues that arose just before election time. “I think that both slates have really done a spectacular job in reaching
out to students,” he said. “There have been a couple of issues that sort of arose right before the election — the issue of student fees that both slates were able to sort of tie into that.” The organizations that endorsed Conway were Alpha Chi Omega, Howl Raisers, Kappa Delta Chi, Pi Beta Phi and the Hokona Hall Community Association.
And the organizations that endorsed Cardenas included the SC/ LDV Community Association, LULAC Young Adults of UNM, Chi Omega, Anime Club, Honors Student Advisory Council, Invisible Children, Coronado Hall Community Association, SRC Community Association, Omega Delta Phi and the Residence Hall Association.
priorities should be to register vulnerable children and try to improve conditions for them and their families in Haiti. “It’s complicated,” said Susan Bissell, UNICEF’s chief of child protection. “We’ve got to get a registration
system in place. Once we have that, we want families for children — and that includes adoption. We are not against intercountry adoption, but we are against exploitation.” Bissell said she was frustrated by the hostility toward UNICEF that is
commonly expressed by leading supporters of international adoption in the United States. “I find myself saddened by it, but it’s not going to take the wind out of our sails,” she said. The chief operating officer for Save
the Children, which is deeply engaged in helping Haitian orphans, said the tensions and disputes were likely to revolve around timing — with some groups seeking to resume large-scale adoptions much more quickly than other groups.
facilitating professional students. For us, this still has communication between the SBA and the GPSA as an important factor.” Hernandez also said the law school representatives brought up a few differences between law students and the rest of the graduate population that could have been grounds for secession. For one, he said, law students spend three years in law school, but graduate and professional
students may spend between five and six years earning Ph.D.s. Hale said since law students only have three years, legislation must be passed sooner. In GPSA, she said, legislation directly affecting the law students could take years to be brought to a vote. “By the time GPSA takes a vote, you’re probably already graduated,” she said. Also, since law students are on north campus, it’s more difficult
for them to cash in on printing fees, since the printer sits in the main campus GPSA office, Hale said. “One of the things that GPSA told us is that we have these office hours and they’re open all the time, and we’ve implemented these facilities, one being a printer, to facilitate the lives of graduate students.” However, law students rarely take advantage of the GPSA office hours. Also, Hale said, the law students
disagreed with the special election GPSA held relating to the Athletics Department, because they didn’t see how actions of Athletics affected them. “That was just kind of one example over the past several years of GPSA’s goals not being really in line with the law students’ goals,” Hale said. “We would want more simple focus of student fees, student tuition — things that directly affect students right here and now.”

Hale agreed that the SBA’s secession doesn’t have to mean cutting off all communication between the two bodies. “I think that’s a really good idea,” she said. “Ultimately, what it would be is two student governments

Clinched win proves it pays to stay by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
Cameron Smith found a home with the UNM baseball team. After ping-ponging from Yavapai College in 2007 to Salt Lake Community College in 2008, Smith came to the Lobos. Suffice it to say, they’re glad he did. Smith hit a walk-off single that clinched a 10-9 win over BYU on Saturday at Isotopes Park. The Lobos took two of three games, pushing them to 21-11 overall and 8-4 in the Mountain West Conference. In the bottom of the ninth at Isotopes Park, with the bases loaded, Smith hit a shot sky-high, deep to center field that approached warning
track. The blast plated Chris Juarez from third base, giving UNM a rousing victory. “All the pitcher had left was his fastball, and that’s what he gave me,” Smith said. “It was a little down, actually. I was just trying to hit something that I could elevate, so that the runner could score. But my swing hasn’t felt very good lately, and that last atbat felt very good. I feel as though I am battling through bats sometimes. So, I feel like I’m swinging as good as I can, but hopefully this is a good sign of things to come.” Up 9-8 in the ninth inning, the Lobos allowed BYU’s Jonathan Cluff an RBI-triple that scored Alex Hancock from second base, knotting that game at nine. Lobo pitcher Gera Sanchez relieved Bobby Mares and

limited the damage, not allowing the Cougars another run. Then, in the bottom half of the inning, John Michael Twichell, Rafael Neda and Juarez singled, setting up Smith. UNM head baseball coach Ray Birmingham said the Lobos’ propensity for late-game rallies is why fans shouldn’t leave games early. “This is the way it has been all year,” he said. “You know, you have got to hold the lead in the ninth, but we won. But you never know what is going to happen. These guys wait until the seventh and ninth, and they make it like ‘Days of our lives.’ But they compete with the bats and they are confident with them.” The Cougars, now 14-16 overall,

ately, Brown collapsed, as if a chair had been removed from under him. The prognosis was grim. Brown tore his anterior cruciate ligament. “It felt like I was getting stabbed in the knee,” Brown said. Dickey, who has been coaching for years, knew the situation was serious as Brown writhed in pain. “You can pretty much tell,” Dickey said. “You see things happen, and you’re like, ‘Oh, I know that hurt.’” Still, if he was figuratively stabbed in the heart from the trauma, Brown masks it well. As he reflects back on it, reminded by a black, machine-looking brace strapped to his right leg, Brown is deliberate, yet speaks in a less-thansomber tone, hardly dignifying the laborious ordeal he has faced getting back to 100 percent. There are hints slipped into the conversation, however. “I felt like it was my time to shine, and it got taken away from me,” Brown said. “I was hoping it wasn’t serious. I had no clue what it was. I had never been hurt like that. It was my first

25-30 yards out. Likewise, there was no trace of worry on Brown’s part about re-injuring himself. “It’s at a point now that I try not to think about it at all,” Brown said. “Just go out there like a daredevil and just run.” Brown displaces that anxiety on other people, specifically Dickey. “He did it this spring. He ran a stretch play, and both his legs went out from under him,” Dickey said. “I thought he had hurt himself again. He popped up, and said, ‘Nah, I’m all right.’” Getting to this point, though, has been about putting Brown back in the situation he was injured — by running screens, as well as other plays. “I think early in the spring, he was what we call, ‘tentative,’” Dickey said. But that hesitation in Brown’s step has dissipated, and Dickey couldn’t be more proud. “It’s good to see a kid that has something bad happen to him handle it correctly and not sit around and feel sorry for himself,” Dickey said.
don’t look like you’re going quite full speed.” As of Friday, Wright seemed to grasp the concepts at a higher level, but it’s still unknown how much Saturday’s injury will affect him, if at all.
The good thing, Wright said, is that it’s still spring. “I feel like I’ve been doing a good job,” Wright said. “I should have a chance to start and, if not, get a lot of playing time this season.”
corps, joked with Jaeckel that he has become a big-time player. “Those guys — they are great guys,” Jaeckel said. “So far I haven’t had any trouble with any of the guys on the team and those wideouts. They are awesome, all of them.” Although Jaeckel is starting over
again, he doesn’t mind the hard work. “I am starting at the bottom, so, you know, what do you expect?” Jaeckel said. “I came to the program this past January, and every day I started at the bottom. I mean, I come in to practice, and I just do what they tell me to do and go all out.”
Neda hit his second home run of the day, tying the game 6-6, in the bottom of the sixth. Neda and third baseman Jacob Nelson combined for six RBIs on Saturday. “Getting those two home runs in one game definitely gets my
confidence back,” Neda said. “I still feel that I am not there yet, and I need to work a lot more. This game and series — I have felt that I have gotten my bat back. I feel like I have more confidence behind the plate and at the plate.”

major injury. It was a weird feeling for me.” Typically, when something of this gravity happens to a player, they seep down into a pothole of depression. With Brown, Dickey said it was different. Brown involved himself in other activities. Currently, Brown is running to be an ASUNM senator. Meanwhile, Brown’s teammates and family refused to allow him to delve into the depths of mental depravity. Brown said his teammates shared words of encouragement. Stuff like: “Man, if you were here, I think things would be different.” Dickey, too, had a message for Brown. It was simple: Don’t allow yourself to fall by the wayside. If spring practice has served as any indication, those words remained with Brown. Amazingly, his return has been anything but awkward. He slivered through crevices an earthworm couldn’t navigate. His mobility didn’t appear to be impeded, as he scored three touchdowns, one from about

Tailbacks zero in on specific strengths Positivity by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
Gone are the days of the composite tailback. College football no longer lends itself to a do-it-all, one-man show in the backfield. As is becoming commonplace, programs tend to rely on a revolving door of running backs. At UNM, the philosophy is in play. “We have a pitching staff,” said running backs coach Darrell Dickey, speaking about his four diverse tailbacks, all of whom could see playing time this season. As it stands, the Lobos’ rotary system worked convincingly last season. Four tailbacks had at least 50 carries, the most productive tailback being Demond Dennis, who finished with 427 yards, three touchdowns and a 5.5 yards-per-attempt average. Not far behind, though, James Wright gained 320 yards on 28 less carries, while scoring a pair of touchdowns — his 84-yard touchdown scamper against Air Force as the Lobos’ longest play from scrimmage.
Also in the mix were Kasey Carrier and A.J. Butler. Butler switched positions this spring — perhaps partly out of necessity — since the Lobos needed to shore up their shallowness at safety, but just as conceivably because he was pigeonholed on the running back depth chart. Further complicating the matter, Kasey scrapped his redshirt midseason in 2009, affording him time to learn head coach Mike Locksley’s offense as well as the intricacies of Division-I football. “Players are a lot smarter (at this level),” Carrier said. “Linebackers know they’re not as fast as you, so they play with their head and not their feet. When you see a 6’6” 250-pound linebacker coming at you, you’re dancing in the backfield. You know you have to go and get out of there.” But Dickey said it’s an encouraging problem to have. “We want production out of the position. If it’s one guy or four, it makes no difference to me,” he said. It was especially useful to have during Saturday’s scrimmage at University Stadium.
Running backs Wright and Carrier were nicked by minor injuries. Wright was bothered by a sprained thumb; Carrier, meanwhile, sprained his ankle on a seven-yard touchdown run — his only carry of the day. Dickey said feature back Dennis got “wore down,” having to shoulder a surplus of carries in the two other tailbacks’ absence. In their places, Terence Brown carried the ball 29 times for 99 yards and three touchdowns, working himself back into contention for the starting tailback position after being lost early last spring because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The encouraging play comes at a time when Locksley has re-emphasized the epitome of Lobo football: running the ball. And, boy, does UNM have a stable of versatility. Whoever is carrying the ball, Dickey said each brings a different dimension to the Lobos’ backfield. Dennis and Carrier are multi-purpose backs who can catch balls out of the backfield and have the ability to nullify negative plays by making something out of nothing with nifty footwork,
Dickey said. Then, Dickey said, the Lobos have a change-of-pace back in Wright. “James is a big, strong guy. He’s obviously deceptively fast when he gets out in the open field,” Dickey said. “He’s got the ability to outrun people. You see a big guy, and you don’t know that he’s got that kind of speed. But he’s a very good downhill runner.” The “downhill runner” label perhaps hints at why Wright didn’t see as many carries while other backs struggled early in the season. The traditional knock on “downhill runners,” be it fair or not, is that they are limited skillwise, lacking the shiftiness needed to elude defenders. That, however, isn’t how Wright sees it. He openly stated he didn’t work as hard as he could have last year, a possible explanation as to why Locksley and company stuck with Dennis in the midst of his struggle to hold onto the ball. Dickey countered, saying that he’s never had a problem with Wright’s practice habits. “I don’t necessarily know his work
wide receiver. “I am not going to lie. It’s a lot of learning and I didn’t know what I really expected, but it was a lot more learning than I had initially expected,” Jaeckel said. “I actually only played two years in high school. I played two years in high school and my senior year. I went to a small high school and we only had about 30 people on the team. So, I played wide receiver, defensive back, safety and various special
team’s players and that was because we didn’t have that many players.” The transition from being on the sidelines to being on the field in a different sport hasn’t been hard for Jaeckel. On Saturday at the second football scrimmage in a goal-line situation, Jaeckel ran a route about three yards deep into the end zone. Quarterback Tate Smith found Jaeckel open and Jaeckel made a diving, tip-toe grab for
a touchdown. “It was a decent catch, I guess,” Jaeckel said. “The funny thing is I think that I ran the wrong route, to be honest. It was the wrong route, but it ended up OK. Hopefully, that mistake doesn’t come back and bite me someday. But hey, I made the catch and touchdown.” Before spring practice began, Jaeckel joined the football team as a manager. He asked Locksley if he

Just. Like. That. “One play,” said running backs coach Darrell Dickey, “and it’s done.” Suddenly and callously. Terence Brown’s story is a real tear-jerker — how he was on the cusp of becoming the Lobos’ starting running back when he was dealt an unfavorable blow last April. Almost a year to the day later, on Saturday, Brown recollected the infamous practice with precise clarity. “I remember the whole situation, the exact play,” Brown said. “It was a screen coming out of the backfield. It was a bad play from the start.” But it got worse. While his knee was extended, a teammate tumbled into it. Immedi-

could walk on the team. Locksley said he and the teammates have accepted Jaeckel’s presence on the field. “Honestly, we are really thin and limited with bodies, especially in the spring and, you know, Levi is maximizing his opportunities,” Locksley said. “But, I mean, once you’re on my team, you’re one of mine. It was an immediate embrace, and he will have a
