The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895
Faculty base pay stagnates during past 4 years Comparison of UNM faculty
by Hannah Stangebye hstang@unm.edu
UNM faculty, on average, made about 9 percent less than their colleagues at peer institutions in 2011. In 2011, average salaries of UNM faculty decreased by about $5,300, according to the UNM Office of Institutional Research. Faculty Senate President Timothy Ross said the salary base remained the same the past four years due to budget cuts. Between 2008 and 2010, nearly $32 million was cut from state appropriations for main campus, leaving less money to hire new faculty and give raises. “An assistant professor who has been here for four years makes the same pay as they did four years ago,” he said. Elaine Avila, an associate professor in the theater and dance department, said she works more than 40 hours a week. “My workload is very high,” she said. “I have six independent studies, one class of 50 students, one graduate class and run the largest new play festival in the west,” Avila said. Associate professors made an average of $74,651 this year; Avila only made $57,680, according to the UNM salary book. Ross, who is a full professor, made $102,374 compared to the average of $102,563. But the Board of Regents preliminarily approved $3.79 million in one-time funding in March to be used for faculty and staff pay increases, an average of a 1.75 percent increase in salaries. But Tim Ross said faculty will once again go

*Blue represents tenured and tenure-track faculty, orange represents non-tenure-track faculty *The Office of Institutional Research only began collecting data on non-tenure-track faculty this year *This information comes from the OIR without an official raise next year. The board also preliminarily approved a $252 million budget and a tuition increase of 3.75 percent for the 2012-2013 school year, a portion of which will go toward hiring 20 new faculty members as part of the provost’s academic plan for next year. The five-year plan would cost $4.3 million and includes language to hire 20 new faculty members, additional advisers, create a degree-granting honors college at UNM and increased
pay for faculty. UNM employed 834 tenured and tenure-track professors and 309 non-tenuretrack on main campus in 2010, the most recent information year. The regents will finalize the budget April 27. Faculty salaries decreased on average by 6 percent between 2008 and 2011, according to the UNM Fact Book and the Office of Instituational Research. Ross said the decrease is unacceptable. “It is really bad for morale, to
see someone young come in the door, with no experience, making more than you,” he said. UNM has also seen a decrease in new hires over the past four years. Ross said this is due to the lack of incentive for older faculty to retire. UNM hired 30 fewer tenured and tenure-track faculty members in 2010 than in 2007. Ross said retirement benefits are based on years served and an average of the final five years of pay. “The last four years have been
the same … so people are more reluctant to retire in that situation,” Ross said. Ross said this trend damages the quality of an education at UNM. “We need a natural evolution,” he said. “When faculty get older, they retire, and leave positions for young faulty to come in, which rejuvenates the research arm of the campus because they have new ideas and lots of energy,” he said.

English dept. celebrates New Mexico literary classic by Avicra Luckey aluckey@unm.edu
Although Bless Me, Ultima was banned in Arizona public schools, UNM celebrates the novel’s 40 year anniversary with a reading marathon of the book today. The novel’s award-winning author Rudolfo Anaya said he feels the ban is unfortunate. “I think they did a terrible thing … I feel the same way about all books,” he said. “Books should not be banned; they should be accessible to everyone.” The native New Mexican received the Robert Kirsch Award for lifetime achievement from the Los Angeles Times in February, and the book is the most critically acclaimed novel in Chicano literature, according to the paper. The novel focuses on a boy’s coming of age in New Mexico in the 1940s. Anaya has also written several other critically acclaimed novels and epic poems, including Heart of Aztlán, Tortuga and Alburquerque according to Encylopedia Britannica. Anaya, along with 48 staff, students and faculty members, will read Bless Me, Ultima in the Willard Reading Room of Zimmerman Library. Anaya himself will read the final page of the book around 5 p.m., and a reception
will follow in the same room. Anaya said he is excited to meet students and is honored to be featured at his home state’s flagship university. The event is sponsored by the UNM English department and University Libraries, and will feature original papers from the author on display. A film adaptation of the novel directed by Carl Franklin, finished production and will be released this year.

Cop-shooting jury can’t indict The Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Grand juries reviewing police shootings in Bernalillo County and Albuquerque operate under a highly unusual process where they don’t have the power to indict an officer even in the most egregious cases, only determine if the shooting was justified. Police officials for years have countered criticism of dozens of officer-involved shootings by noting that every case has a grand jury review. But an analysis of the proceedings by the Albuquerque Journal shows the panels are not only toothless, but aren’t even instructed on possible criminal violations. All they hear is the law on justifiable shootings like self-defense. Prosecutors defend the process, saying the reviews should inspire public trust. But Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz said it may be time for the district attorney to consider other options in order to ensure the public has faith in the process. “It is incumbent, in order to gain the public trust, that each case be reviewed independently based on the comprehensive investigation that’s presented to them,” he said. “A one-size-fits-all approach may not be in the best interest of the community.” No one involved in the process can recall a single “unjustified” finding since the process was put in place in the late 1980s following criticism of police shootings at the time — even in a case in which the officer was fired and the city paid nearly $1 million to settle a civil lawsuit. Critics say that’s by design. “It looks to me like a device that’s designed to give police a pass on shootings,” said Ray Twohig, a longtime civil rights attorney. “The public should have no confidence whatsoever in this process — there’s no independent investigation. The goal is: ‘Let’s not indict any cops.’” While grand jury proceedings are typically secret, the New Mexico Supreme Court recently concluded that the secrecy rules don’t apply to the police shooting
review panels because they don’t function the same way as traditional grand juries. The journal was able to review one of the special grand jury proceedings last week after the Second Judicial District Court handed over recordings in response to the newspaper’s request under the Inspection of Public Records Act. A grand jury listened to seven hours of testimony into then-APD officer Brandon Carr’s November 2009 shooting of unarmed U.S. Air Force veteran Rodrick Jones. The department fired Carr, the city’s independent review officer said the shooting was unjustified, and the city settled a civil wrongful death lawsuit for $950,000. But after testimony from Carr and another officer that contradicted ballistics and forensic evidence, the grand jury did what all its predecessors had done: It ruled the shooting “justified” under New Mexico law. Attorney Joe Fine, who represented Jones’ family in a wrongful death lawsuit, said the family was “shocked and hurt” by the grand jury’s conclusion. Deputy District Attorney Gary Cade said police shootings are investigated as homicides. “They are all treated as criminal investigations,” Cade said. “The officers are read their Miranda rights. Many avail themselves of an attorney. I can’t think of anyone who has gotten special treatment. Officers are always told: ‘You will be treated like anybody else who has shot someone.’” But in nearly every homicide that doesn’t involve a police officer, civil rights lawyers say prosecutors take a proposed indictment to a target grand jury, which returns either a “true bill” of charges or a “no bill,” in which no charges go forward. Attorney Shannon Kennedy said she had assumed for years that police shooting cases were taken to target grand juries. She learned about the investigative grand jury process last year and said it is designed to treat officers differently from ordinary citizens. “They are basically operating above the law,” she said. “Officers in APD know about this process;
Overweight cat gets help with his dieting by Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Meow can’t help but waddle. He’s one super-sized cat. The 2-year-old orange and white tabby tips the scale at nearly 40 pounds, and the Santa Fe Animal Shelter is on a mission to get the feline back into shape. Meow’s 87-year-old owner could no longer take care of him, so the pet was turned over to a shelter in southeastern New Mexico that called the Santa Fe shelter for help. “The thing with this cat is when you look at it, certainly it’s obese. You see that. But it’s a sweet-looking cat. His face is very sweet. It’s just incredibly fat,” shelter spokesman Ben Swan said Friday. Meow has been placed with a foster family. He’ll be on a special diet so he can start shedding some pounds. The goal is for him to lose at least 10 pounds so he can be put up for adoption. The shelter plans to post updates on Meow’s weight loss on
its Facebook page. It’s not clear how the feline was able to gain so much weight in just two years. Adult cats typically weigh between seven and 12 pounds. “If you go online, you’ll see a lot of fat cats and these are people who have fed them just one thing, like meat or something that’s not nutritionally balanced,” Swan said. “Then the cat refuses to eat anything else and then they just get fatter and fatter and fatter.” Meow has one thing going for him. He’s not the fattest cat out there. That record belongs to Himmy, a tabby from Australia that weighed almost 47 pounds. The shelter said Guinness World Records has since stopped accepting applications for the record over concerns it would encourage people to overfeed their animals. In Meow’s case, the shelter is awaiting blood test results to make sure he doesn’t have any additional health problems.

they know they will be exonerated. This contributes to more and more police shootings, because there is this culture of no accountability.” Albuquerque Police Officers Association officials did not respond to requests for comment. APD officers have shot 24 people since 2010, 17 of them fatally. Twenty-six officers fired shots in those incidents. Cade said a prosecutor responds to every police shooting and all are taken to investigative grand juries to maintain public trust in the process. “It’s a policy of our office that I happen to agree with,” Cade said. “We are letting 12 members of the community decide. I haven’t had any concerns about the cases I’ve been on call for. Officers bear a heavy burden when they put on that uniform and badge, and the courts have recognized that.”

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: Senate Bill 6, which recommended raising the ASUNM student fee from $20 to $25, passed the ASUNM Senate 16-1-1. The bill would have increased the amount of funding available to student organizations that receive funding from ASUNM. ASUNM President Jaymie Roybal vetoed the bill, saying she “did not believe it (was) in the best interest of students to raise fees.” Had she not vetoed it, students would have voted on the increase, which would have required a two-thirds majority to pass. Do you support Roybal’s veto, or would you have preferred the bill go to a vote of the students? I do not support the veto. She should have let students vote on it instead of assuming she knew what was best for them.
63%
I do not support the veto. She vetoed the bill at the last minute so that senators could not override her veto even if they had wanted to.
14%
I support the veto. Roybal was within her rights as president to veto the bill and followed the ASUNM Law Book.

If the senators wanted to override it they should have called an emergency meeting.

THIS WEEK’S POLL:
Last week, a number of groups on campus erected a “Mock Wall” to protest U.S. border policy and Israel’s handling of the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict. In response, the UNM Israel Alliance put up what members called a “Wall of Truth” in an effort to defend Israel. Should UNM allow students to put up large physical displays and campaign on campus? Yes, but they should be required to have a permit approved by UNM and follow the student handbook rules regarding their conduct. Yes, UNM should observe the First Amendment rights of speech and assembly. No, it is distracting and it is a hassle to students who just want to get to class. I’m indifferent.

Schrader: Monogamy poor bet for longevity Editor, Could I ever know myself or the other person or the future well enough to know for sure that we both will do well with only each other until death? I aim to tell the truth and not to make foolish promises. Many years ago, as a preacher, I performed marriage ceremonies. I was a groomsman for some friends’ marriages. I attended many weddings. I have been in love with certain men. I treasure mutually passionate romance with those men, but I do not want to be caged or to cage any man in a relationship for life. Like many people, I am able to be openly, honestly and deeply in love with more than one person. If he and I part, I do not want him to sue me and I do not want to sue him. Marriage partners often take each other for granted and slack off from exercise and staying healthy. They often turn for comfort to booze, junk food or to buying crap no one needs. Married couples often hold each other back and use each other as an excuse not to change and not to grow. Blaming the other, one says,
The Mock Wall creates hate forum in public space Editor’s Note: This letter is addressed to UNM President David Schmidly. I am shocked and concerned about the insensitive and borderline racist display outside our beautiful Zimmerman library. I understand freedom of speech and I believe a week of this has provided the individuals behind this eyesore the medium for their message. I’m not going to discuss a specific message posted on the board, but rather its entirety. This is disrespectful to specific
If we can’t get along, we’re all going to die Editor, Quoting myself and all those mature human beings who preceded me since we human beings learned how to communicate with each other using language:
LETTERS “I cannot stop eating meat or junk food, because (s)he has that stuff here and I cannot resist eating it.” One says, “I would live simply in a much smaller home and I would stop paying federal income tax for war, but (s)he refuses to change.” Marriage partners often act as if they own each other. They try to control each other and get insanely jealous. I am a fool when I try to make someone fall in love with me or stay in love with me. Some people may do best with only one romantic partner for life, but even they would be wise never to pledge themselves to only each other romantically until death. As the days and years pass, they can check if they both are doing well in their monogamous relationship. Some people have their No. 1 romantic relationship with one person for decades, but also enjoy close friendship and pleasurable sex with other persons and do it openly and honestly. Some people are able to be deeply in love with two or more persons at the same time for years and do it openly and honestly with little or no jealousy. The rule of no sex for couples outside their marriage often breeds lies, cover-ups, boredom, heavy frustration and violent jealousy. Marriage often becomes a duel instead of a duet. My parents might have been much better
friends had they never married. Marriage destroys many friendships. Many couples become better friends after divorce. My parents were not a good match. If I had been my mother, I do not know how I could have coped being married to my dad. If I had been my dad, I do not know how I could have coped being married to my mother. They were married 48 years until my mother died. Much of the time, their marriage was a war of words, hurt feelings and rage. My mother needed, wanted and was capable of much deeper intimacy than my dad gave her or perhaps was able to give her. I learned from my mother and dad not to stay in a rotten marriage, making each other miserable. Far worse than having no romantic companion is feeling trapped by a vow to someone I do not want to be with, or to someone who does not want to be with me: A solemn vow I refuse to make to anyone. I understand people in love wanting to celebrate that with their families and other friends, but I have decided from now on not to attend marriage ceremonies where two persons pledge themselves to only each other romantically until death.
populations and bodies present on our wonderfully unique and diversified campus. I don’t know how the campus can stand for it. You may call this “progressive,” “nonviolent protest,” “freedom of religion or speech,” but no matter the spin, it’s offensive and not all parties are participating or have a voice. I see the display as a hate forum mixed with extremist political agendas. I’m sure the fellow students I’ve spoken with and I can rally more supporters of this view if a petition is needed to have its removal expedited. This is not what a university campus is for. Expression is a form of art but once a certain religion or population is targeted, it is something else entirely. This display should be given in
the proper setting and with consideration of others in mind. My campus, our campus, is no such place for these types of displays. A university, especially ours, is a place for tolerance and learning, diversification and sharing of views. How does allowing a collage of politically inapt billboards allow for any of this? You give the people on the fringe a loud speaker by disgracing our campus with such work. It’s simply one person’s message, in this case a few, with no discussion or input from the student body. Essentially, it’s a political media campaign. Please do something about this. It is simply unacceptable and unbecoming of our University.
“The solution to all the problems we human beings have is easily stated, and has been stated by many people for thousands of years.” We must be willing to cooperatively and compassionately work together to manifest what is best for us all, instead of separating into warring camps and competing against each other in fruitless and destructive games of striving to establish which of us is superior. Sadly, since we seem to prefer playing those games instead of working together to manifest
what is best for us all, it appears that we are going to continue playing those games until we have rendered this planet unable to sustain us as the “game players” we are. We will become extinct and be superseded by another species which will have the opportunity to survive and prosper on this planet that we had, but squandered.

Ben Swan /AP Photo In this April 19 photo provided by the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, veterinarian Dr. Jennifer Steketee holds Meow, a 2-year-old tabby at the shelter in Santa Fe, N.M.
Got something to say?
Shelter veterinarian Jennifer Steketee said the idea is for Meow to gradually lose weight by eating a special diet. He has already lost a couple of pounds since being turned in. Steketee said the dangers of feline obesity are not much different than they are for humans — extra pressure on the heart and joints. Swan said all the extra weight makes it tough for Meow to play. He had little interest in the supersized toy mouse the shelter gave him when he first arrived and he couldn’t squeeze much more than his head into the carpeted ring attached to the shelter’s scratching post. “He’s very sweet. He’s doing everything a normal cat would do except he loses his breath and tires easily,” Swan said. “We’re seeing what we can to do help him.”

Defense struggles to adapt
Adria Malcolm / Daily Lobo Defensive line coach Archie McDaniel works with players during practice April 14. The Lobos ranked 118th for defense last year, and the football coaching staff is putting more emphasis on defensive coaching this year.

Congratulate Last Week’s
Lobo Winners!
After the football team’s defensive struggles last season, it’s no surprise head coach Bob Davie spent much of spring practice trying to improve it. Davie said coaching the defense is more of a challenge because of the changing offensives the team faces each week. Davie said the defense is struggling with the transition of a 4-3 defensive scheme to a 3-4 scheme, but he said such struggles are expected, considering all the information the team has to soak in. “I can tell we’re having a lot of trouble with a lot of things right now,” Davie said. “Playing defense is about being comfortable, not thinking too much, not being paralyzed because of all these checks and all these new things you’re being asked to do.” A 3-4 has three defensive lineman and four linebackers on the field, while the 4-3 is the opposite. Senior defensive end Joseph Harris said the 3-4 alteration puts the offense in a hard position. “(It) is a lot more stunts and more people dropping back, and criss-
crosses. Things like that,” he said. Last season, UNM’s defense ranked 118th in the nation in total defense, out of 120 teams, and allowed 6.73 yards per play, and 70 offensive touchdowns and gave up 492 yards per game.
“I see a lot of improvement, but the only thing that will tell me that we’ve improved is when the season comes and we win more games.” ~Joseph Harris defensive end Harris said the defense must work more, but he said he is confident it will improve. “I think we have a lot more corrections to do, but as far as the
effort and things like that, we’re getting down the technique,” Harris said, “I think we’re looking at a good defense.” The Lobos also struggled with turnovers, forcing only 13 last season. UNM recovered 10 fumbles and had three interceptions. The passing defense fared a bit better, and ranked 86th overall. The Lobos also ranked dead last in passing efficiency last year. Sophomore defensive back Tim Foley said new defensive coordinator Jeff Mills is putting more of an ownership on the secondary to make plays and be the leaders of the defense. “He brings a lot of passion to the defensive backs and he really wants us to lead this team,” Foley said, “He’s pushing us to do that.” Foley said Mills brings passion everywhere he goes, which helps motivate the defense. Harris said he notices progress in the defense, but the ultimate test will be when the season begins. “I see a lot of improvement, but the only thing that will tell me that we’ve improved is when the season comes and we win more games,” he said.

Merger likely to end in failure by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com UNM Athletics has tangled itself in a failed business endeavor. This February, UNM agreed to a merger between the MWC and Conference USA which would create a conference of at least 16 teams. The merger would be in place starting in the 2013-14 athletic year. CBSSports.com reported that dissolving the two leagues in the near future to make one conference was highly unlikely. And why shouldn’t it be? It seems an impossible task to schedule teams from five different time zones to play each other. Furthermore, since February the Albuquerque Journal and other media have reported that the schools involved in the potential merger can’t seem to come to an agreement over revenue-generating television rights. Schools are negotiating with networks and each other concerning how much each school would receive. UNM’s football team’s poor performance the past few seasons puts the school at a disadvantage in negotiations. After three straight 1-11 seasons, UNM has almost nothing to bring to the table compared to schools with better programs. After Boise State and TCU left the MWC, UNM and its embarrassing football program were left struggling to find a new conference arrangement.
Softball
UNM could make money on its athletics, but with University Stadium regularly filled to 20 percent capacity, it wasn’t going to. With the new coach, football has a bright future and in a few years will once again be a contender. In a few years, UNM may be a school which other programs actually want in their conference. What it really comes down to is money, and it’s no surprise that’s all that matters in college athletics. Coaches claim this conference will bring their teams more competition and national recognition, but in reality this merger’s only beneficiaries will be members of university administrations. In college athletics, money is made in two sports: football and men’s basketball. Those two sports hold up all other athletic teams on campus such as soccer, tennis, volleyball, baseball and softball. Neither the MWC nor Conference USA had an automatic BCS bid, and the merger was made in hopes of getting an one, which would likely guarantee millions of dollars to every school in the conference. After TCU and Boise State left the MWC, the commissioners knew they had to do something quick before the conference disappeared. Conference USA faced a similar ordeal. The proposed merger had seemed like a quick fix and some easy money, too.
In the 2012 NCAA Basketball Tournament, every school in the MWC made $242,000 for every team that made the postseason tournament. Out of eight MWC teams, four made it to the tournament, which earned each school $968,000. Putting together a 16-team superconference would therefore mean more teams in the NCAA tournament and more money for every school. For UNM, an athletics department that’s $2 million in the hole for this academic year, the merger makes sense from a business standpoint. The University needs to consider a backup plan in case the joint conference, which can’t seem to get organized, falls through. All MWC schools should recognize these warning signs and think twice about the merger.

They are a good enough lineup that if you throw it down the middle, they’re going to hit it.� Moving forward, UNM faces off against Boise State in a threegame series this weekend. Boise State is currently in second place in MWC standings. Beach said that after being swept by SDSU, wins against the Broncos this weekend will be all
Lovelace, Presbyterian, the more important. “We’re playing like we’re afraid of losing right now,� she said. “We have to let go of it and play like we did at the beginning of the season. I challenged them for the rest of conference and hopefully they will respond positive and come out fired up and ready to go for the rest of the season.�

WOMEN’S TENNIS
LAS CRUCES, N.M. — The women’s tennis team fell to NMSU 5-2 in the Rio Grande Rivalry on Saturday. The Lobos have struggled all season and fell apart early after the Aggies won the doubles point. The route carried over to singles play as UNM dropped four of the possible six points. Sophomores Michaela Bezdickova and Nikolina Grbac were the only Lobos able to pick up points on the first and sixth court, respectively.
MEN’S TENNIS
FORT WORTH, Texas — The men’s tennis team pulled off a 4-3 victory over Texas Christian University on Saturday. The Lobos swept the all three doubles matches for the point but their star players struggled in singles play. Junior Jadon Phillips and senior Ben Dunbar fell on the first and second courts, respectively. UNM rallied back and won matches on five and six to tie the mat at three. In the final match on the third court, senior Phil Anderson won 4-6, 6-3, and 6-4, to give UNM the victory.

Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
Fill in the blanks. Capricorn—You will discover a lot couple of weeks. It’s not the people almost over. Be aware that mercury
about yourself and what you want in life over the next couple weeks if you take the time to do so. Momentary pleasures and indulgences are likely to become irresistible during this time, but remember everything in moderation. Otherwise, you will certainly fall off a path that would bring you long-term satisfaction. Now is the time to decide which you want more. Aquarius—Your personal struggles will revolve less you and have more to do with social interaction. At the moment, everything is peachy but the discoveries you made over the past month about who you really are will slowly change your behavior. As you adjust, so will your friends and family. Be wary of letting yourself be discouraged from change. They may not be happy at the moment but they’ll learn to love the changes. Pisces—Feel free to give yourself some breathing room in your schedule, you’ve earned it and besides, it’s necessary. Imagine yourself as a garden that’s just been weeded. You’ve gotten rid of what you don’t like and are ready for growth. All you need is to provide a little T.L.C. to yourself, then sit back and watch what becomes of your hard work. Aries—A complex problem, whether it deals with mankind or just yourself, has been troubling you. It’s like the more knots you try to undo, the more tightly wound the mess becomes. The situation is not impossible, but you may be searching for the answer in the wrong places. Connect with anyone with whom you can banter. Even if you don’t discuss the issue, your mind will be liberated enough to gain the perspective you need. Taurus—You’ve felt like doing nothing more than hide in a cave the last
outside you’re concerned about, you just want to devote all the time you can to yourself. The new moon has just passed, meaning the next week is all about putting these developments into action. Your ideas may be unusual or seem too difficult, but the more faith and positive energy you invest, the better your return shall be. Gemini—Any place you can apply your mind will flourish over the next couple of weeks. Mental activity doesn’t have to necessarily be exclusive to work and school. If you’ve got someone you’re romancing, expect the relationship to deepen the more you connect mentally. If you’re still looking, talk more than you observe. You’re charming when you speak, so use this to your advantage. Cancer—Although your mind is equipped with the aggression and insight that Mercury in Aries lends to everyone at this time, you don’t quite feel like being part of the discussion. Try not to let anyone make you feel strange about wanting to recede from the social scene for a bit as it will do you a lot of good if you use your time wisely. It’s time to spring clean, start fresh, do something new you’ve always wanted to. Leo—The world is your oyster for the next couple weeks, but you’ll have to hunt the opportunities. Aside from a lazy streak that will plague you over the next month, you should have no problem drumming up lucrative doors to open. You’re unlimited in this search. You know what you want and no matter what kind of goal it is you can be certain you will achieve it. All you need to do is apply yourself. Virgo—Finally, the sun moved into Taurus and you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing the drama of Aries is
still lurks in Aries. The general air of impatience is gone from the social sphere, but egos remain sensitive. Just know everyone is trying to grow as you should also be during the next couple weeks. Temper your perfectionistic tendencies to allow experimentation and you’ll be on the right track. Libra—A major decision you’ve made in the last couple weeks has left you undone. It may have been for the best in the long run, but you’ll have trouble escaping the feeling you’ve got to repair the damage. Just know this is not accomplished by going back on the decision; you might as well toss acid on a burn. What you need it to allow yourself to feel the pain and fully express it, be it through art, open discussion, whatever outlet you like. Scorpio—You will find honesty to be most refreshing the next couple of weeks, even when it’s directed toward yourself. No matter how much the truth crumples your ego, you now realize how much you can learn about others when they tell it and about yourself when it rings true. By doing what feels right and true will be most satisfying; seek out anyone who offers you this bittersweet dish. Sagittarius—The last couple weeks have been trying for you, and everyone else if you ask them to give you their most blunt thoughts about the experience. I would encourage you to do so because either you’ll find you don’t have it so bad or you’ll find your misery has its company. Either way, you’ll feel better and when you’ve got friends in on it, the camaraderie that comes from a group making it through provides the positivity you need.

Pitchers drop Eagles for 7th consecutive win by Mundo Carrillo ecarr50@unm.edu
The Lobos needed a lucky number seven win to smash an old school record, and they got it. The baseball team won its seventh straight weekend series in a row, a new school record, when it swept Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) during the weekend. UNM won all three games, 6-3, 12-6 and 2-1. Head coach Ray Birmingham said the record means a lot to him.
“We’re coming together as a team and we have a good team chemistry right now.” ~DJ Peterson third baseman “It’s a big deal,” he said. “What I wanted to do was come in here and raise the level a little bit higher, build some facilities, make a great baseball team, compete with the best teams in the country and take pride in who we are, and we’re doing that.” The Lobos are on a five-game winning streak, and sophomore third baseman DJ Peterson said he credits the team’s outstanding offense and defense. “Our pitchers are doing their thing, and the hitters are doing their thing,” he said. “We’re coming together as a team and we have a good team chemistry right now. We’re doing it all right now.” The Lobos narrowly beat FGCU 2-1 on Sunday, to improve to 22-18. Starting pitcher Gera Sanchez struck out 10 batters and didn’t allow an earned run, bringing his record to 5-1. After struggling a bit last year, Sanchez said he worked hard to improve his pitching. “I’m in better shape this year,” he

said. “I took care of my body more and just worked harder.” His fellow teammates said they have noticed a change in his game. “Every outing, he’s done a great job,” Peterson said. “He’s pitching his butt off.” Birmingham said Sanchez has been doing a good job all season, but is disappointed that the hitters
failed to help him on offense. “We haven’t given him run support on Sundays,” he said. “I’m getting a little furious about it. We have to back him up.” On Sunday, Sanchez got run support from Peterson. In the seventh inning, he hit a single to bat in senior infielder Kyle Stiner, putting the Lobos ahead by one run.
In the third inning, senior second baseman Ben Woodchick hit a single to bat in Stiner, for the first run of the game. In the next inning, FGCU second baseman Brandon Bednar scored an unearned run from a throwing error by short stop Alex Allbritton, tying the game at one run apiece. In the ninth inning, junior pitcher
Will Mathis relieved Sanchez. After walking the first batter, Mathis was yanked in favor of junior pitcher Bobby Mares. He came in and got three outs to seal the win and his first save of the season. “That’s the best Bobby’s thrown,” Birmingham said. “That’s what he’s capable of doing.”

Aztecs’ pitchers shut out batters for 3 games by Brandon Call bcall@unm.edu
Adria Malcolm / Daily Lobo Sophomore middle infielder Jordyn Bledsoe catches a ball at second base to get SDSU utility player Hayley Miles out. The Lobos lost the series to the Aztecs 3-0.
In a battle of pitching versus offense, pitching won out. Unfortunately for the UNM softball team, it was the arms of San Diego State’s Rebecca Arbino and Bailey Micetich that kept the Lobos’ bats at bay as the Aztecs rolled to a three-game sweep this weekend at Lobo Field. SDSU won Friday’s contest 8-3, before dropping UNM 12-6 and 7-0 on Saturday and Sunday. Head coach Erica Beach said MWC-leading San Diego State showed why it’s the team who finishes in the top of conference standings each year. “We knew coming in that it was going to be a tough series for us,” she said. “We feel that pain a little bit, but hats off to them. They hit the ball well and played amazing defense. They did the things needed to win ball games.” With the wins, the Aztecs improve to 25-19 and 6-0 in Mountain West action to take over sole possession of first place. Meanwhile, the Lobos have now lost six straight games to fall to 24-16 and 0-3 in conference.
Beach said it was the arms of Micetich and Arbino who dominated during the series. “We had a difficult time hitting Micetich and Arbino, and we couldn’t get clutch hits to string things together and put runs on the board,” she said. “For the most part, we fought hard and we did some of the things that we want to see on a regular basis. We had a lot of energy, but we just weren’t able to close it out.” Arbino — who boasts a MWCleading 2.16 earned-run average — pitched seven innings of scoreless ball and allowed just six hits in Sunday’s contest to spur on an Aztec win. Micetich — whose own 2.39 ERA is good enough for second-best in the conference — used placement and precision to keep UNM’s hitters off balance and guessing. The Aztec pitching duo combined for 12 strike outs in 20 innings this weekend. Beach said it was UNM’s own pitching that struggled on the weekend. “We’re throwing too many middle pitches,” she said. “That’s the biggest problem for us right now.
