Capital Projects layoffs a product of poor decisions by Leah Valencia Daily Lobo
Junfu Han/ Daily Lobo A man selects a cup of lemonade at Project Share, Inc. on Sunday. The nonprofit organization serves food to 150 people a day, on average.
Project Share feeds the masses ROOFLESS by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
Thanks to the efforts of Project Share, Inc. hundreds of people that would otherwise go hungry can eat every week. Paul Eichhorn, food box coordinator, said Project Share serves 40,000 hot meals every year, in addition to providing food boxes, clothing and other needed items such as diapers. “We work with 50 or 60 different organizations to provide these meals,” he said. “We
have a garden that grows vegetables for the food boxes.” Eichhorn said on a typical day Project Share feeds about 150 people at its Yale Boulevard building, and its services are available in Spanish as well. Project Share is filled with people Sunday night, many walking there even through the rain. Eichhorn predicted that a lot of people wouldn’t come to eat Sunday, since they can’t catch a bus in the rain. Nevertheless, Project Share ended up feeding 102 people that night. On Sunday, the free meals provided at Project Share consisted of tacos, fruit, beans, rice and cookies. There was also milk and cups of candy-colored juice. Each plate contained food to constitute a good dinner, and
people were welcome to seconds after everyone had eaten. Eichhorn said he got involved with Project Share after sitting in on a UNM class taught by David Hilliard, a former leader of the Black Panther Party. Eichhorn said Hilliard’s class built Hope’s Half Acre, the garden that grows vegetables for the food boxes. He said Hilliard only taught the class for a year, and then was dismissed from UNM. Eichhorn speculates that Hilliard was fired because of “right-wing people” who were unhappy with having a former Black Panther at the University. “David Hilliard refreshed my faith in the UNM school system, in that they were doing something positive,” he said. “On the other

Employees being laid off from the UNM Office of Capital Projects said the budget shortfalls are caused by a combination of mismanagement and hard economic times. Alec Mottershead, an OCP architectural draftsman, said jobs could have been saved if it weren’t for bad management decisions. Mottershead, a father of two, said he was three years from retirement. He cited a $2.8 million renovation, unnecessary promotions and other fiscal mismanagement as partial reason for the layoffs. “Ironically, I have a 15-year anniversary ceremony at the SUB tomorrow — two years late,” he said. “God, I hope they don’t ask me to say anything.” He said he will now have to wait 10 years to receive 30 percent of his pre-layoff salary. And Gordon Strickland, an OCP project manager, said in an e-mail that the layoffs have affected OCP employees in different ways. “Some are young, trying to get started in a career, so this is discouraging for them,” he said. “Some are almost at retirement age, and losing a year or so of pay will affect how much retirement income they have, which is scary.” Strickland said the OCP has budgetary problems. He said layoffs could have been prevented if better fiscal management had taken place. “We knew almost two years ago that new construction projects were drying up, and a year ago it was clear that we were in trouble,” he said. However, William Turner, OCP director, said they didn’t know exactly how severe the hard times would be, even though they knew they were coming. “We didn’t predict the magnitude of the downturn that we are experiencing,” he said. “We predicted that there would be a reduction of work, but not to the degree that it has turned out.” Mottershead said the economy only accounted for half of the problems in the OCP. “No one could see the economic downturn coming,” he said. “So, I give the management here a blank check for about half the problems here, but the other half has

Council representatives claim GPSA fudged election process by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
The GPSA Council Chair was elected on Saturday, but some council representatives called the results into question only an hour later. Graduate student Megan McRobert got 12 votes and current GPSA Council Chair Danny Hernandez received nine. “I’m excited to have been elected,” McRobert said. “A number of people noted with surprise how many people were in the room, and I think that speaks to the GPSA’s increase in visibility and that people really care about what goes on here.” However, shortly after the election, while the meeting was still in progress, GPSA Elections Chair Sophia Hammett realized that GPSA
Inside the
Daily Lobo volume 114
issue 138
constitution mandates that the GPSA president should have presided over the election. Hammett offered to re-do the entire voting process so GPSA President Lissa Knudsen could run the election. GPSA eventually voted that Hammett acted as Knudsen’s designate in the election, which upheld McRobert’s victory. Hernandez said the election was unfair because Knudsen asked him a biased question before the vote. “She was supposed to be presiding over the election,” he said. “If you’re presiding over the election you’re supposed to be neutral.” During the public comment session of the meeting, Knudsen asked Hernandez whether he violated the GPSA’s Open Meetings Act in a meeting with law school
representatives April 9. Knudsen said that if there were six different departments represented at the meeting, Hernandez needed to give notice to the public. “I may have broken our Open Meetings Act,” Hernandez said. “It depends on how you interpret it.” Hernandez told the Daily Lobo on April 9 that five different departments were represented at the April 9 meeting. Hernandez also said he sent three e-mails inviting council representatives on their Listserv a week before the meeting. “I think that the GPSA president weighing so heavily on the election was unfair,” he said. “She hired this young woman and supported her candidacy.” Knudsen hired McRobert this
semester to help fix GPSA’s Web site, she said. McRobert began as a volunteer in the GPSA office in January. “I think that she’ll be able to bring something, especially in terms of the Web site, that GPSA hasn’t had in the last five years,” Knudsen said. Knudsen said Saturday’s election ran more smoothly than any other she has seen. Hernandez said there is still a possibility that he will contest the election within the GPSA Court of Review. The Court of Review has previously dealt with “election challenges,” according to GPSA’s Web site. “An attorney and I will be getting together, but it’s unlikely I’ll go against the election,” he said. McRobert said she thought the election was fair.

“I think the important part is that if anyone still has concerns about the elections, there is a process they can go through,” she said. Hernandez said he will most likely stay involved with GPSA next year, either as a representative or as grants chair. “Beside the previous two grants chairs, there is no one else who knows more about how the grants process works,” he said. The GPSA meeting on Saturday was the first meeting McRobert attended, she said. Knudsen said that McRobert will bring new and unique skills to GPSA next year. “She is a fresh face and not at all entrenched in the politics,” Knudsen said. McRobert will take office after spring semester ends.

your research? TG: It’s detective work in researching manuscripts, studying to understand the notes they made — they’re difficult to read and interpret. You can’t know what was on their mind. It’s satisfying to study them. It’s like finding the final piece in the puzzle, and it’s a good feeling. DL: How does the Institute for Medieval Studies relate to New Mexico? TG: It doesn’t seem to be obvious, but the popularity of lecture series and popularity of lectures around town, especially Albuquerque Oasis groups. They’re very interested in the culture of the middle ages, and I’m not sure why. It could be the difference from their own culture, or they want to know what makes another

DL: Do you have any advice for those who would like to pursue the field? TG: Manuscript studies is difficult to train in North America. Few universities offer courses in the field. I have tried to bring it to UNM, especially for grad students. I have tried to establish UNM as a major point for field of study. We have an intensive four-week semester in manuscript studies. People come from Arizona, Texas, Michigan, Tennessee and Oregon. ~Aundrea Jackson Copy Chief Elizabeth Cleary Opinion Editor Zach Gould Multimedia Editor Joey Trisolini Design Director Cameron Smith Production Manager Sean Gardner Classified Ad Manager Antoinette Cuaderes Advertising Manager Steven Gilbert

been basically criminally inept mismanagement.” Mottershead said OCP employees have been watching the department spend money when they knew that there would be less work in the future. He said it was difficult for some employees to understand why money was spent for renovations when the OCP knew that income from construction projects was dropping. “If you are the captain of the Titanic and realize you’ve scraped an iceberg, your logical sense would be to steer away from the iceberg,” he said. “I’ve seen nothing but them steering directly into it and going full speed ahead.” Turner said the OCP offices were remodeled to consolidate employees into one space. He said regardless of budget issues it was more efficient for employees to be able to have designated office space. “We still needed office space,” he said. “You can’t work out of your car.” Renovations cost about $2.8 million, but Turner said renovating actually saved the University money. “It saved $100 per square foot compared to building new,” he said. “It is way cheaper to renovate underutilized existing space than it is to build new.” Mottershead said the renovations might have contributed to the budget problems that resulted in layoffs. “You’d be hard pressed to convince me that some of these completely aesthetic and nonessential remodels didn’t contribute greatly to some of the six people getting laid off here,” he said. Apart from the renovation, Strickland said it also upset some employees that the OCP hired two project managers from outside the University and then promoted them to group managers.
“The OCP was putting on new positions at higher pay while the workload was falling,” he said. Turner said OCP promoted the group managers as part of a department reorganization that was outlined to the administration two years ago. He said it was delayed because UNM President David Schmidly put a hold on all hires and reorganizations. Turner said Schmidly changed that aspect of the hiring freeze and allowed the OCP to continue with the reorganization. “It is not a vision of promoting people. It is a vision of organizing for efficiency and for better customer representation,” Turner said. “It gives us the opportunity to create points of contact for our customers.” Turner said regardless of how many people the OCP office employed, north campus, main campus, south campus and branch campuses needed to have points of contact in the OCP office. Mottershead said the OCP has been stripped to the bones, and Strickland said he agreed that, with the way the office is structured now, it will likely continue to shrink. “I really don’t see how the department itself can survive even another year,” Mottershead said. Turner said historically the OCP’s workload has fluctuated. “It is hard to predict in this economic time what’s going to happen a year from now,” he said. “But in the long term those capital streams will renew themselves and our workload will go back up.” Turner said he warned employees since he first saw a budget downturn to keep their eyes out for other employment. “I’ve been telling employees for two years that if they have good opportunities they should consider
them,” he said. “And they should always keep their résumés in shape.” Turner said the department is continuing to work on the problem and even found a way to save one position. “We continue to do what we can to retain positions,” he said. “We are able to project enough income that we are going to withdraw one of the layoffs.” However, Turner said the OCP’s administration is vital to the organization. “Our senior people are our most productive people,” he said. “We retain our senior people because they do more.” Mottershead said he worries about supporting his wife and two daughters. “I haven’t found anything. The economy is bad all the way around” he said. “Yeah, I’m nervous.”

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: 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? Out of 39 responses
We should not let them have nuclear energy or arms. Iran should not be 47% trusted. They are going to get them, whether we want them to or not. We should congratulate them in their endeavors. 15% At least they’re saying they are going to be used for good.

THIS WEEK’S POLL: Phyllis K. Fong, the Agriculture Department’s inspector general, released the “National Residue Program for Cattle Aduit report,” in March detailing results from inspected food. She found inspectors charged with checking cattle for disease and meat for contaminants were, “unable to determine if meat has unacceptable levels of... potentially hazardous substances (and do) not test for pesticides.” The report says there are no standards for how much of certain dangerous known substances such as, copper and highly toxic dioxin, is too much for someone to eat. The result is that these substances have leaked into the nation’s food supply. Does this new report change your views of the meat in our country? No, meat is meat-tainted or not.
LETTERS U.S. military the deadliest weapon of mass destruction Editor, I am writing in support of Andrew Beale’s recent column. Regardless of the details of the engagement that killed the two Reuters photographers, his overall point stands. From its inception, the United States has used horrific violence to gain territory and power. Certain continuity stretches from the dispossession and expulsion of Native Americans to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s an old story; countless empires throughout history have behaved in the same fashion. Aggressors across time

Editor, This letter is in reference to the last Doing It In The Duke City column, by Hunter Riley. Though Ms. Riley organizes and expresses her thoughts very well, her advice to women, “it’s time to let go of your porn inhibitions,” is stunningly immature and myopic.

Tea Party activists’ views steeped in hypocrisy Editor, As I was driving up Menaul Boulevard Thursday evening, I realized traffic was moving slower than usual, and as I got closer to the Louisiana intersection, cars in the right lane were blocking traffic by cheering and honking at protesters holding sings depicting our current president as some sort of fascist and a monster. Judging by their signs (many which told me spelling wasn’t a strength for some of these bums) that they were protesting taxes and spending. They cried and shouted at the top of their lungs against government regulation and the recent health care bill that was passed last month. They whined like little children do when they get time out. In all the commotion, I asked myself, where on earth were these Tea Party protests during the eight years that our constitution was spat on, when our military avoided paying for the
cloak their ambitions in the noblest humanitarian rhetoric. The narrative that presents U.S. belligerence as uniquely righteous continues to legitimate slaughter in our day. Because his piece undermines this pernicious narrative, Beale deserves accolades rather than attacks. A combination of anecdotal accounts and statistical studies suggest coalition forces have directly killed many tens of thousands in Iraq since the 2003 invasion. The U.S. military looms as one of the most harmful forces operating in the world today. As New Mexicans and UNM students, we have a special connection to the violence by virtue of the pivotal role our state and school continue to play in the military-industri-
al complex. Recruiters try to fill quotas on campus while University scientists research the next generation of deadly devices. I live a mile and a half from an Air Force base loaded with weapons of mass destruction. Though these things might produce local jobs, the effort materially furthers death, maiming and oppression overseas. Is this honestly what folks want in their community and as their mark on the planet? It’s not what I want in mine. If we come together, we can instead create an Albuquerque firmly committed to peace. Guns and bombs will not be welcome there.
countries, have taught that porn affinity just isn’t congruent with healthy individuals and stable societies. Even Omar Khayyam observed, “Pamper your passions and you will see them multiply like insects in the sun.” Ms. Riley’s social and historical myopia mold her unfortunate opinion that “where we went wrong” was when women believed porn to be unacceptable. A wise person should not need Tiger Woods’ wife Erin to show us that a porn attitude spawns no good. There is no sound society where women are OK with their men attending to “waxed ass holes,” or want their men ejaculating semen on women’s faces. And in an impor-
tant larger context, our current porn-prone ways are one reason that many fundamentalist Muslims and Christians simply despise where we have allowed our freedoms to drag us. Though I am not at all religious, I grant that these fundamentalists clearly and correctly perceive our growing groin-groping flaws. These errors are, in fact, “where we went wrong.” Sensible women know this intuitively in their center of their being; sensible men know it too on their better days.
health care of the troops that were sent off to two illegal, trillion-dollar wars, when Bush turned Clinton’s surplus into the monster debt we have now, and where were these morons when the Supreme Court stopped the legal recount in Florida 10 years ago? Sure there were protests back then, but they didn’t get as much attention by the corporate media, who has a love affair with these tea bag rallies. These people are against paying taxes to the government, yet they protest on the government-paid sidewalks, drive on the government-paid streets, shout under the government-paid telephone poles, and they write “Keep the government’s hands off my social security and/or Medicare!” Must I go on? If these people are so against paying taxes, then here’s some advice: When your house gets robbed, don’t call the police, because they are funded by the state to protect its socialist laws. Find the robber yourself. When your house catches on fire, put out the flames yourself because the fire department is just another
consequence of paying taxes. Drive across the fields and mountains, because those highways are socialist because the government paid for them. When an invading army marches into your neighborhood, don’t seek protection from the U.S. military, because they are pawns of the socialist government. And most importantly, even if you’re on your death bed, you must never accept social security or Medicare, because they are just as bad as Obamacare. Now, would any sane person take that seriously? Of course not. This goes to show that these rallies are nothing more than partisan and yes, contain some racial bigotry. I’ve seen the signs, read the blogs and listened to Rush Limbaugh; race has a whole lot to do with it. Now I know there are some who don’t want more taxes. I understand that. None of us like to pay taxes. But that’s what we get for 30 years of selling out to corporate interests.

hand, they let him go after his contract ran out.” Eichhorn said students who are interested in helping can donate items or volunteer at the organization. A diverse selection of people are served by Project Share, Eichhorn said. About 25 percent of the people who eat there are homeless, he said. “There’s quite a cross-section of people here. There are some folks just getting out of jail, some folks that are homeless, some folks that can’t afford medication,” he said. “You have a lot of your working-class families that just can’t make it this month.” Eichhorn said part of his responsibilities at Project Share include working security for the organization. “If you cause trouble, I’ll throw you out. You can’t show up here drunk,” he said. Project Share has seven paid staff, as well as dozens of volunteers that occasionally help out, Eichhorn said. He said they also use people who have to do court-ordered community service. “That’s part of our mission, is to give people a place to do community service,” he said. “For a lot of folks, it’s an eye-opener.” Eichhorn said the paid staff’s salary comes from grants written to charitable organizations. He said some of the money comes from the city and the state. Project Share isn’t eligible to receive money from some organizations, because they don’t keep track of every person who comes to eat there. “Some of these organizations, the reporting requirements are ridiculous,” he said. “Like United Way, they wanted us to check everybody’s picture ID when they came here. Uh, no, not gonna do that.” Students from Albuquerque Academy volunteer at Project Share on the third Sunday of every month, said Heidi Meyers, Academy volunteer coordinator and student. “I think Project Share is one of the

most important organizations in New Mexico, because you can see the immediate effects on the people you’re helping,” she said. “In that way I think it’s a lot more personal than volunteering somewhere else.” Meyers said 12 or 13 Academy students come to Project Share every month. She said she got involved with Project Share because she’s interested in helping people. “I’m really interested in cooking, so my pet issue is hunger,” she said. “It’s also good for the Academy kids to get out there and see different communities.” Rick Marckstadt said he volunteers regularly and eats most of his meals at Project Share. He said he’s been volunteering with the program since 2005, and he thinks Project Share provides a valuable service. “Since the recession and stuff, we got more families here — the homeless. It really helps out the community,” he said. Marckstadt said he’s exploring other, less conventional, fundraising options for Project Share. “We’re trying to get a hold of the Hooters girls to do a carwash, and the money would go to Project Share,” he said. “It’s not bad with the Hooters girls. You see more skin at the beach.” Eichhorn said the program gives out food boxes with a variety of food to people who come with a note from a school counselor, a nurse or doctor or a charity detailing their need. He said Project Share also distributes cat and dog food for people who may not be able to afford it. “If you’re having a hard time feeding yourself, sometimes your best friend can’t eat too well either,” he said.

LOBO SOFTBALL
Blindsided by reality
by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
It’s the same recycled storyline, devoid of plot and tension. The downtrodden UNM softball team, 10-26 overall and 0-6 in the Mountain West Conference, was train-tracked 9-1 by Utah in a shortened, five-inning affair on Saturday at the UNM Softball Complex. Saturday’s game was preceded by Friday’s eventual 10-2 pasting, together bringing the Lobos’ number of run-ruled games to 12. With two runners on base on Saturday, infielder Shaunte Duarte took a seat after a called strike three, an apropos ending embodying how the Lobos’ season has gone.
“We get runners on base,� Duarte said. “We get a little excited, hope for good things, and then just get shut down.� So much for Lobo pitcher Samantha Gatson’s guarantee earlier in the season that the Lobos would win the MWC regular-season title. Nothing has gone in UNM’s favor. Duarte’s last at-bat was representative of the season’s enduring theme. In the bottom of the fifth, Duarte pulled the ball down the third-base line into foul territory. One pitch later, Duarte lifted a fastball toward the left-field line for a would-be three-run home run, only to see it sail wide off the foul pole. She struck out looking on the next pitch. “Unfortunately that’s the way it

LOBO WOMEN’S GOLF
Par exellence golfer wins fifth individual title Staff Report Daily Lobo
Having won it twice before, Jodi Ewart was hardly lauded a dark horse to win the individual title in the Mountain West Conference Women’s Golf Championship at the Bayonet & Black Horse Golf Course in Seaside, Calif. Yet, even favored, Ewart continues to amaze. Ewart ventured into uncharted waters, surpassing Caroline Keggi in UNM’s record books for most individual titles. Previously, Ewart and Keggi were tied with four apiece, before Ewart’s victory on Saturday. Leading the way, Ewart’s 1-under 71 helped guide the Lobos to a third consecutive MWC title, earning them an automatic berth in the NCAA Championships, which begin with NCAA regionals on May 6-8. Since 2000, UNM has won seven of 11 conference championships. UNM head coach Jill Trujillo
said Ewart’s accomplishments are nothing short of amazing. “I just can’t say enough about Jodi,� Trujillo told GoLobos.com. “It could be a long time before someone else comes along and matches what she has done in four years at UNM.� Sinking a pair of birdies on the back nine holes, Ewart finished with a three-day total of 217 or 1-over par. Still, she was four strokes ahead of her nearest competitor, TCU’s Rachel Raastad. Rounding out the day, Ewart was named MWC Player of the Year for the fourth consecutive year, making her the first person among all MWC sports to earn that honor four times. “It means a lot to me to set the school record for championships,� Ewart said. “Caroline was a great golfer. It’s also a huge honor to be named MWC player of the year again, because there have been so many great players the past four years.�

goes,” Duarte said. “I thought it was fair but it kind of sliced at the end over the pole. If we get that fair, that definitely pumps up the team. We got three more runs on the board, and we’re no longer in a do-or-die situation for the last inning.” What’s more, the Lobos couldn’t cuff Utah’s hitters, allowing the Utes a multi-run inning. In this case, they did most of their damage in the third inning. Whitney Holm’s three-run moon shot extended the Utes’ lead. Then, with the bases juiced, Utah’s Kara Foster got plunked by a Kari Gutierrez offering, forcing in a run. In all, Utah scored six runs in the third, bringing the score to 7-0. And there’d be no patented, cinematic, game-on-the-line comeback. The only thing remotely in doubt was whether Utah would hold the Lobos scoreless. That, though, was quickly answered. In the bottom half of the inning, Lobo second baseman Cristin Anderson walked, before advancing to third on a single by Erin Brandow. Cassandra Kalapsa, who went 1-for-3 from the dish, knocked a RBI-single, plating Anderson. But that signaled the end of the Lobos’ scoring, until Duarte stepped to the plate with runners in scoring position during the bottom of the fifth.
Mission
Monday, April 19, 2010 / Page 9
As maddening as the season has been, Kalapsa said the Lobos have amnesia when it comes to past struggles. “We just try to keep our heads up and play in the moment — playing in the now,” she said. “Focusing on the past isn’t going to help us win.” But by not focusing on the past, the Lobos have been doomed to repeat it, much to the chagrin of Lobo head coach Ty Singleton. Even so, Kalapsa said Singleton has been patient with the team, choosing to foster positive dialogue rather than verbally showing up players. Still, after Saturday’s loss, the team ran laps around the field, before departing for the locker room. Singleton, who had to catch a flight, immediately left the field at game’s end. With 12 games left in the season, UNM still has an opportunity to surpass its win total from last season (13). By no means, however, do the players consider that a progressive step. Other than self-dignity, Duarte said there’s not much to play for. “We’re not playing for a Mountain West championship anymore,” she said. “We’re not playing for postseason. But we’re playing for ourselves and for our teammates.” In other words, the Lobos aren’t living a movie.
from page 12
If Holbrook is ecstatic where he is at, he should be pumped about his wide receiving corps, especially Hernandez. Hernandez caught five passes for 77 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Hernandez said Locksley is looking for him to be a playmaker this season. “I was just fortunate enough to make a play,” Hernandez said about one of his touchdown catches. “I had one chance to make a play and I did drop a touchdown, so that kind of fueled me to make sure to make plays when the ball came to me.” Hernandez redeemed himself
Kouandijo
when he and Holbrook hooked up for a touchdown in a jump-ball situation in the back of the end zone. Hernandez shielded the defensive back with his body, while leaping to catch the ball at its highest point. Holbrook also connected with Ty Kirk (four catches, 60 yards) and Ohio State transfer, Lamaar Thomas (four catches, 41 yards and one touchdown). Holbrook said having good wide receivers makes his job easier. “Our receivers tore it up,” Holbrook said. “All I did was just put the ball out there and let them make plays. You know, they were the real heroes today.”
from page 12
narrowed his college choices down to two, before choosing to sign with Alabama instead of UNM. Kouandijo said he’ll visit Duke or Rutgers this week, but ultimately he won’t make a decision on which institution he’ll attend more than a day before Signing Day. More than anything, Kouandijo said, UNM is an attractive destination because he will likely play
immediately. “A lot of these schools out there — they want me,” Kouandijo said. “But this school, I feel as if they need me.” Better yet, according to several online reports, Deon Long, a highly touted wide receiver from Dunbar High School in Washington D.C., announced he’ll enroll at UNM this summer.

LOBO FOOTBALL
Spring report card reads progress by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
Mission somewhat accomplished. The UNM football team ended its spring practice sessions on Saturday with the annual Cherry-Silver scrimmage. The Cherry squad took care of business, downing Silver, 21-7, in a low-scoring, defensive affair at University Stadium. Head coach Mike Locksley hadn’t viewed the scrimmage tape yet, but he said it was a good culmination of spring ball. “I thought that, for the most part, we got a lot of things we wanted to get accomplished this spring,” he said. “We are coming out of it, for the most part, completely healthy. I thought, all in all, it was a productive spring as a unit or a team. We are looking forward now, and all of our energy is geared toward preparing for Oregon,” the team the Lobos will face in their season-opener on Sept. 4. When spring practice commenced, Locksley and his coaching staff put an emphasis on stopping the run and producing a dynamic running game. Although neither tailback tandem from either squad produced more than 100 yards rushing, sophomore Demond Dennis dashed for 66 yards on 18 carries.
Primarily, that’s because they were hounded all afternoon by a relentless front five. Defensive end Jaymar Latchison, who was a member of the Silver defensive squad, said the defense had a productive day attacking the quarterback, batting down passes and getting after the ball carrier. “We kind of just made sure to meet the standard for ourselves,” Latchison said. “Coach (Rubin) Carter says that we have to be hungry every day, and, if we’re not producing, then we are kind of just killing grass.” Speaking of production, one quarterback and wide receiver stole the show Saturday. Quarterback B.R. Holbrook and wide receiver Chris Hernandez propelled Cherry to a 14-point victory. Holbrook, who is vying to be the starting quarterback, threw for 256 yards, three touchdowns. Coming off a topsy-turvy 2009 season, in which he battled mononucleosis, Holbrook said his confidence has soared now that he’s been in Locksley’s system for a year. “It definitely helps when you are taking a lot of reps at practice, and I think that’s huge for me,” Holbrook said. “I think, overall, though, we did a lot more good things than we did bad things, and I am excited where we are at right now.”

Silver-tongued Locksley charms potential recruit by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
Surrounded by Washington D.C.’s political breeding grounds, UNM head football coach Mike Locksley inescapably learned the art of shaking hands and kissing babies. How else could Locksley convince five-star offensive tackle Cyrus
Kouandijo to visit UNM during Saturday’s Cherry-Silver scrimmage after the Lobos’ 1-11 season? Ask Kouandijo, and he’ll enlighten you. Citing countless conversations he’s had with Locksley, Kouandijo said Locksley treats high school prospects with dignity, not just looking to persuade them to come for the sake of adding another big-time
recruit to their pool of snags. “Locksley’s a good guy,” Kouandijo said. “With him, it’s a family environment. He’s one of the very few coaches that actually cares about his students. He doesn’t look at me as a pawn or a piece of meat. He looks at me as a player, athlete, student and person.” Kouandijo, who hails from
DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Md., said he has 25 offers on the table from big-name schools like Alabama, USC, LSU and UCLA. Among the top-tiered programs, Kouandijo is also considering UNM as a possible destination. The environment, he said, is advantageous to cultivating his NFL prospects, even more so in Locksley’s
offensive system. “I noticed everywhere he goes, in three years, he gets the team up,” Kouandijo said. “I think he can get something started down here.” Still, Kouandijo was noncommittal about the likelihood he’ll attend UNM. In February, his brother, Arie,

LOBO BASEBALL
Old-fashioned astronomical kicking by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Coppin State’s Dan Gleiberman crouches down after grounding out during Sunday’s 29-3 loss to UNM.
It was a colossal loss for Coppin State. All day at Lobo Field, the Eagles endured apathetic pitching, nowhere-to-be-found defense, all while struggling to get runners on base. Did we mention the bad pitching? The UNM baseball team racked up 29 hits to Coppin State’s seven while running the Eagles out of Albuquerque, 29-3, on Sunday at Isotopes Park, part of a three-game sweep. UNM head coach Ray Birmingham said his players had a team meeting on Sunday morning, and, as a result, put together an error-free performance against Coppin State. “It was a big pow wow, actually, a couple of big pow wows,” Birmingham said. “I was smoking these guys for playing baseball the right way today. These guys can be as good as they want to be, I want them to be great and they know that. That was a great sign.”
Actually, Ray, it was a massive sign. Six Lobos had a multi-hit game for UNM. Ryan Honeycutt had a careerhigh seven RBIs to go with four hits. He singled three times and hit a double in the eighth inning. Justin Howard continued bludgeoning balls, but came up short of a handful of UNM batting records. Howard had six hits in seven atbats, while notching four RBIs and hitting a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth that put UNM up 19-1. “I was just trying to see the ball good,” Howard said. “You know, I have been seeing the ball pretty good lately, and I wanted to be aggressive. I got a pitch out over the plate, and I put a good swing on it.” UNM got a man on base in every inning, only failing to score runs in the bottom of the third inning. And, at that point, the Lobos were already up 8-0. Howard said UNM was excited to play its first game of the season at Lobo Field, since they play a majority of home games at Isotopes Park. “I mean, we know this place, we
practice here, and we know the hops and we know what to expect,” he said. “The team gets kind of fired up to play here and this is because it’s kind of different from what we have been doing. But we take pride in this field here too and to put up 29 runs, that is something special.” Mike Lachapelle, UNM’s starting pitcher, seated two batters through five innings of work. He gave up one run and three hits, but improved to 4-2 as a starter. “Mike Lachapelle pitched well today despite who it was,” Birmingham said. “He threw his change up for strikes, and he had a couple of moments where he didn’t lock in, but that defines this team.”
