Grassroots grow out of oil tragedy
Shear madness
by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
About 20 protesters braved the 100-degree heat June 5 to voice concerns about the government’s handling of the April 20 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Seize BP, a national organization that calls for the U.S. government to take control of BP’s assets, organized the protest. The money from those assets should be redistributed to aid cleanup efforts, said organizer Preston Wood, and given to those who have been severely affected by the explosion, including 11 workers that were killed. “We want to organize into a political force where we can intervene as a people to demand that the government take action against BP, who are thumbing their noses at the people while still making billions of dollars in profit,” he said. The protest took place at 12 p.m. on Central Avenue and Tulane Drive on Saturday. Wood said protests were held in over 50 cities around the country on Saturday. He said the ANSWER Coalition, a national group advocating for the end of war and racism, hosted

According to the New York Times website, the government estimates that between 12,000 and 19,000 barrels of oil are leaking into the Gulf per day. Oil from the spill has been seen from Louisiana to Florida. Also, on Saturday, June 5, during his weekly address, President Obama said 17,500 National Guard troops have been deployed to respond to the spill. “If oversight was lacking — it will be strengthened,” Obama said during the address. Protester Valerie Wells said the relationship between big business and government contributed to the disaster. She said the government needs to monitor oil companies like BP more heavily to make sure they have the technology to keep spills from happening. “(BP) knew in advance that they didn’t have the ability to deal with a problem should it arise a mile underneath the ocean,” she said.

PATS offers wait-list space for structure by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
Parking and Transportation Services is allowing students, faculty and staff to jump on a waiting list for permits to the new parking structure on Yale Boulevard and Lomas Boulevard. The Yale Parking Structure will add approximately 790 spaces for student use, said Bob Nelson, PATS associate director. The permits go on sale August 1, and the structure is slated for completion in lat August. “It’ll provide a pretty good mix of parking options,” he said. “It is six parking levels, three for permitted parking and three for hourly parking.”

UNM’s Student Family Housing facility is undergoing some major renovations and management restructuring. Associate Director of Facilities Brian Ward said that aside from new paint and general maintenance when residents move out, the facility on South Campus has not been renovated in more than 30 years. “We really wanted to bring the student housing apartments up to the same level as the main campus housing,” Ward said. The new renovation projects to the Family Housing complex began in fall 2009 and have so far included fixing roofs on all the buildings, bringing the fire alarm systems up to code, re-paving and striping the parking lots and re-surfacing the basketball courts. So far, the project has cost $1.4 million. Ward said all the money for the renovations came from student rent dollars. “It was entirely funded by the rent money from students living on the main campus and in the Family Housing,” Ward said. “And our goal, of course, is still to keep rent rates as low as possible.” David Elder, the lead facilities
services technician for the Family Housing complex, said the renovations really needed to happen. “A lot of these apartments have gotten a bit neglected, and it takes a lot of work to keep them running,” Elder said. “We want residents to have a nice place to live.” Ward said the renovations slated to occur now consist of technological changes throughout the complex. “We are currently in the bidding process for a TV, Internet and phone service for all the apartments,” Ward said. “Right now, it’s up to individual residents to find their own providers, but we are hoping to get a discount from a company providing TV, Internet and phone to all the apartments. The residents have been overwhelmingly in favor of this plan.” Elder also has some improvements he would like to see happen this upcoming year. He leads a team of four maintenance workers and said they have their hands full keeping up on the maintenance for the whole facility. “As part of the improvements going on here, we are hoping to hire a company to take care of the grounds,” he said. “Right now,

Martinez, Denish eye governor’s desk after primaries by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo
New Mexico’s next governor will be a woman. Doùa Ana County District Attorney Susana Martinez won 51 percent of the vote in a five-candidate primary. Martinez will face Democrat Diane Denish, who ran unopposed, in the general election. Former Democratic Party Chair Brian Colon will run on the same ticket with Denish. He beat four other candidates for the chance to be New Mexico’s lieutenant governor. Former state representative and developer John Sanchez won the Republican lieutenant governor candidacy.
New structure
The general election is Tuesday, November 2, 2010. According to the Associated Press, 28 percent of eligible Republican and Democrat voters in Bernalillo County turned out for the primary election. The governor’s race is a virtual tie, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released June 4. The poll of 500 likely voters in New Mexico shows Martinez with a slight lead over Denish, 43 to 42 percent. Also, 4 percent said they prefer other candidates while 10 percent remain undecided. The impression that this year’s race for governor will be tight has pressed both campaigns into full gear. Denish concluded a state-
wide tour June 5 that began in Lea County, the southern New Mexico county where she was born. Martinez issued a press release June 4 announcing an endorsement from Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor and GOP presidential nominee’s political action committee donated $5,000 to Martinez’s campaign. She can also claim an endorsement from former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who came to support Martinez during the GOP primary. And, according to the Washington Post, the Republican Governor’s Association is backing Martinez. A few days after the primary, Denish released an ad that accuses Martinez of making plea bargains with convicted murders and
inflating her DWI conviction rate as district attorney. She also targeted her opponent in her primary victory speech. “Let me just remind my opponent, she’s running against a lifelong New Mexican who has lived and worked in five communities in this state, who has been an independent voice, who has not been afraid to take on any of those powerful interests in Santa Fe,� Denish said. Martinez responded to the ad in a statement. “Diane Denish has been part of an administration that has wasted taxpayer dollars, defrauded New Mexico citizens and abused the public trust. Now, as a gubernatorial candidate, Denish believes
voters will ignore the fact that she failed to lead on the issue of corruption.�

Bernadette Garcia, a protester, said she is especially concerned about wildlife and natural habitats destroyed by the spill. “We’re responsible to keep our environment safe, not just for human kind but for the animals that live, and we’ve destroyed it — and for money, all for money,” she said. Garcia said the government needs to take on a bigger role in the cleanup and efforts to stop the flow of oil. “I don’t think the government should trust BP to clean up something that they caused,” Garcia said. According to the New York Times website, government officials have said that BP has the best technology for stopping the spill. Garcia said BP would be as careless with cleanup as it was with the
Family Housing
construction of the oil well. “I know that BP took short cuts, and that’s why it happened to begin with,” she said. “Now they want to take short cuts in the cleanup.” Wells said she decided to come to the protest because a grassroots effort is the only way to effect change. “Unfortunately, the wheels of democracy turn at such a glacial pace that it has to be a grassroots effort,” she said. She said demanding cleaner energy and reducing reliance on oil is the only way offshore drilling will decrease. “If we can find ways to force industry to create cleaner industry and make those choices in the marketplace, they will pay attention because they’re in it for the money,” Wells said.

we just have one guy doing the (grounds) job, and he kills himself trying to get it all done.” The improvements to the Student Family Housing complex have not all been cosmetic. As part of the renovation process, several improvements have been made to the complex’s internal management structure as well. Ward said Teresa Ortiz was appointed Student Family Housing coordinator in order to promote a better staffing structure, a sense of community and more activities for the residents. Ortiz is one of the most experienced Resident Education staff members on UNM’s main campus, he said. The coordinator’s responsibilities will include implementing
programs and activities, developing and helping residents get to know each other. “In addition to the renovations that have already been made, the advisers and I would really like to see some nice benches and tables put outside to encourage the residents to come outside and talk to each other and create a little community,” Ortiz said. Four Community Resident Advisers have also been commissioned to help Ortiz carry out her goals. “I really want to see a more programmatic effort being made there,” Ortiz said. “I want to make it a place for residents to learn, to have fun and to meet each other.”

“What am I going to pack my glasses in when I move?”
by Jenny Gignac Opinion Editor
There is a website, NewspaperDeathWatch.com, that is monitoring the decline of the printed newspaper. The site claims to chronicle the death of the newspaper and the rebirth of journalism. The newspaper’s decline has reached new lows, and as the curve of printed news declines, the curve of electronic publications is reaching new heights. I feel like there is something lost when you have to open up a laptop to get your
news while you sit at the breakfast table and sip your coffee. I like to feel the news. I like to look for pens to work the crossword puzzle, and I like the sound of the pages turning. With such a slump in printed journalism, how will this affect the journalism major? UNM has implemented a multimedia journalism curriculum, preparing students for work in online publications as well as in print work. The college newspaper still plays an important role in the study and practice of journalism for aspiring student writers, editors and publishers. In order for universities like UNM to maintain their accreditation, they must maintain an independent student newspaper. Unfortunately, the national newspapers still in print don’t have that kind of protection. Local publications that are able to maintain readership have come to rely on ad sales as their only source of revenue and don’t charge readers for the printed copies, like the New Mexico Daily Lobo, Alibi and IQ. The trend is that readership is
high, and high readership generates more ad sales, keeping the paper alive. These papers have found a way to reach and keep an audience with more risqué reporting and active participation, with readers in various issues on their likes and dislikes. Blogs are also a hit with writers, but driving traffic there and getting paid to write them are an entirely different story. What will happen if (and when) printed news becomes extinct? Will I always need computer access to get the chance to read a newspaper? Will I be able to get the news without pop-up ads? What would Benjamin Franklin think of this new method of news transmission to the masses? And what am I going to pack my glasses in when I move? I am rallying to keep printed news alive, to have the paper with my morning coffee, turn the pages and get newsprint all over my fingers. I want to use a pen to work the crossword and cut out funny cartoons and put them on my fridge. Printed news is an experience I hope we don’t lose.
LETTERS Generous Greeks deserve recognition for philanthropy Editor, Best Buddies wishes to thank the members of all the Greek organizations at the University of New Mexico for their commitment to the community. Each year, through their Greek Week activities, they raise funds for specific charities. This year, Best Buddies New Mexico was the fortunate recipient of their funds. The University of New Mexico’s Greek community has been actively involved in the Albuquerque community for many years through Greek Week. Greek Week gives all the Greek chapters an opportunity to donate their time and money to worthy community causes. This year, more than 300 Greek members raised $10,300 for Best Buddies, spent countless hours volunteering their time at the Rio Grande Zoo and prepared care baskets for the Watermelon Ranch — all very worthy
Activists’ violence incited Israel’s attack on relief flotilla Editor, I urge you and your parishioners to denounce violent resistance. As I’m sure you have heard, Israeli soldiers seized a flotilla carrying international activists and relief supplies from Turkey to Palestine. At some point during the flagship’s capture, the Israeli soldiers were met with violent resistance by the activists. Nine
causes. While balancing their studies and activities, they give from a heart of compassion and generosity. I truly hope they keep their sense of idealism well into their careers. As a result of their efforts, they became much more aware of the needs and challenges faced by individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). IDD affects 4 percent of the population. Most people will go through their entire lives sitting alone in the cafeteria, never receiving a phone call from a friend and not being recognized except by caregivers. Nearly 90 percent of these people will never have a job, and many will fall victim of abuse or neglect at some point in their lives. Best Buddies pairs these individuals with peers who do not have disabilities to break the social isolation that too often surrounds disabilities such as Down syndrome, autism, traumatic brain injury and many others. Today we have 320 participants in our local high schools and universities. Thanks to the great work by UNM students, we are breaking the cycle of isolation. Individuals are being seen for their abilities,
instead of their disabilities. Each life touched is changed forever. Like the proverbial stone tossed in a pond, the ripples are changing our attitudes. One buddy, a high school sophomore, called our offices recently so excited because he was invited over to another student’s home. This had never happened to him before. A parent called excited because she was shopping for a prom dress, an opportunity she never dreamed she would have with her daughter. These opportunities are created through the generosity of the Greek members and all our donors. “Thank you” just does not do justice. In a world where too often the negative gets more reported than the positive, I wanted to make sure that the great work of these students is recognized. From now on, when we hear the term “fraternity” or “sorority,” we should associate “philanthropist,” “teacher” and “leader” to them, for that is what they truly are.
activists were killed by the soldiers. Many of the programs aired on our local college radio station. KUNM justly condemned the killings that occurred on the flotilla’s flagship, the Mavi Marmara. However, it severely downplayed the violence that the soldiers were met with. I have seen footage showing several activists pummeling someone I assume was a fallen soldier with pipes or sticks of some sort. Metal pipes and wooden sticks, gas masks, bulletproof vests, slingshots with rock ammunition and a Molotov cocktail were found on the ship.
To the Christian, this is not a matter of who attacked first, because we do not believe in the right to “self-defense.” We must denounce violence from all sides. A regime that is inherently evil by nature of its occupation, such as the Israeli military, should not be met with the same evil. We cannot support these activists, their mother organization or their mission until they commit themselves to nonviolent methods — and only nonviolent methods.

Terrance Siemon / Daily Lobo Alex Borowski edits tunes on his laptop in the SUB on June 4. Borowski is one of the two members of Cobra Moonshine, a band that creates mashup songs available for free download.
by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
Alex Borowski, a member of band Cobra Moonshine, is into mashups. Popularized by the artist “Girltalk,” mashups sample different parts from different songs and mix them together to create an entirely new song. For example, one of Cobra Moonshine’s songs mixes rap track “Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It” by Dem Franchize Boyz with the guitar part from Green Day’s song “Brain Stew.” The band exercises its creativity by coming up with silly song titles having little to do with the music, including “It’s Not Gay (Our D**** Didn’t Touch),” “Glock in My Kneehigh Sock” and “See, It’s Not Gay (Now You Try It.)” The band, which got its name from an old legend about Southerners using cobra venom to make strong illegal booze during prohibition, is made up of Borowski and Sean Albarran, both UNM students. The duo DJs using computers and performs at house parties and, recently, the Cellar in Hokona Hall and Fiestas. Its debut album, T.H.U.G., is available for free download on Cobra Moonshine’s Facebook page. The Daily Lobo caught up with Borowski to dig deep into the details of a mashup artist’s work. Daily Lobo: How did you get involved with working with computers and doing mashups? Alex Borowski: The first DJ I listened to was “Girltalk,” and I really liked what he was doing. So I first thought about how he does it, and then I looked into what software he uses and I got a copy of the software from one of my friends. DL: One thing I always wondered about this style of music is, if you want just the guitar part or the drum part, how do you cut out the other parts? AB: It’s not very easy to do that. And if you try, a lot of times it sounds really bad. But a lot of artists will release either, like, the instrumental to the song they make or their a capella, which is them either singing or rapping, so you cut up those. And then a lot of times you’ll find parts where, in the original recording, they dropped the drums out for some reason. They just wanted the guitar to be heard. So a lot of times if there’s a song I want to sample I’ll look for a part like, “Okay, there’s no voice here.” DL: So how many shows have you guys done so far? AB: Barely any. We just started working together around December, and we’ve played maybe two of our friends’ parties. We did play Fiestas. That was a big show for us … and we played the dorms here, in Hokona. DL: How did you get the dorms people to let you do a show there? I
imagine it’s pretty loud. AB: I had talked to them about doing a 90s night, because I think 80s nights are really cool, but our generation more closely identifies with 90s music. So they had 90s night, and I asked if I could DJ and they said sure. DL: When you guys do live shows, how do you divide up the work? AB: A lot of times it’s just one of us does the a capella parts, and one of us will do samples of the instruments, the music. So that’s how we usually start, and then sometimes there will be times where there’s tricky samples, like if you have to get a lot of samples at once or something, divide the work up. DL: What do you guys actually do at a live show that’s more than just pushing play on a recorded track? AB: Your job is to stop the clip that’s playing and start the new clip, or do whatever you need to do to keep the continuity of the flow in the beat of the song, whatever you’re doing. And then also at times you want to slow down the beat or bring it up, and that’s probably the trickiest part. DL: Do you guys practice for your live shows? AB: Yeah. Before a live show, we have a rough outline of, like, a set, and then we’re each trying to add something new. So we make the set, and then you practice it. DL: How do you guys deal with the performance/showmanship aspect? I’ve seen people play a computer, and sometimes it’s not that fun to watch. AB: We mostly just focus on … for the most part, just keeping the beat going and making sure it’s danceable. DL: What do you think about some of the copyright problems that have happened with this type of music? AB: I think whenever Apple tries to make it so you can’t crack an iPhone, it’s like a challenge. Within a week, someone comes out with a crack. And so, really, it’s sort of futile on the part of the big corporations to try and stop this … Giving it away for free is kind of a way to skip around the copyright thing. I always think about it like a collage. DL: Your album is called T.H.U.G. What does that stand for? AB: “The Hand Uv God.” I like to think it can stand for whatever you want, but I like it ’cause it works with the album artwork, which is the part of the Sistine Chapel where God’s finger is touching Adam’s finger. We made a photo collage of that. And all the pictures in the photo collage are — well, what we wanted to do originally was have all our friends and fans send us pictures of parties they were at and collage all of those. We didn’t get enough. We used album artwork for the rest.

Festival forces fast-paced, frugal films Artist’s animals blow by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
The 48-Hour Film Project challenges average people to do in two days what professional film makers take months to do: complete a film from screenplay to editing. The project continues to be the primary event of its kind. All competitors are knocked down to the same level as far as resources and time are concerned, said Matt Page, the winning director of 2008’s competition. “It’s a competition where having money is not an advantage,” Page said. “Money isn’t going to get you a well-written script Friday night. You don’t have time to rely on things like special effects or having someone famous in your movie. This time frame is a great equalizer. It’s really about story.” Mark Ruppert and Liz Langston started the project in 2001 in Washington, D.C. Since then, it has expanded across the country and the world, visiting cities such as New York City, Chicago, Rome, Paris, Beijing and, for the fifth year now, Albuquerque. The festival, though, is pretty much the same for every city. The competitors assemble a team beforehand, meet in a central location at 7:30 p.m. — this year at the Orpheum Art Space. They receive a genre, a character, a prop and a line of dialogue that must be worked into the film somehow, and are then given 48 hours to re-
turn whatever they have to Kelly’s Brew Pub by 7:30 p.m. The winning film for each city is entered into a larger pool where the best 13 are screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Even if the films are turned in one minute late, they are disqualified from competition, said Scott Milder, Albuquerque’s deputy city producer. Page said he was apprehensive about entering the film festival. To him, it didn’t seem possible to create a good product in 48 hours. “I didn’t know what to think of the 48 hours, because, initially, I was kind of skeptical because I don’t like to do productions that aren’t properly prepped and planned out,” Page said. “That was just as an outsider’s perspective. Now, that’s the thing I like the most about it. It forces you to be creative and collaborate with everybody and pull something together really fast. It’s something I look forward to every year now.” Kyle Traynor, who won the contest in 2009, said he heard horror stories about the festival from his friends but decided to compete anyway. “It’s definitely stressful. There’s no doubt about it,” Traynor said. “But you have to pick the right people. The 48 is what you want it to be, I think. If you want to go out and go crazy and make it a huge production, you can totally do that. If you want to keep it really small and have fun with it, you can do that, too. A lot of people end

up making it a little too big, which causes stress like that.” Milder, who won the local 48hour Film Project in 2006, said the festival has tremendous benefits for the winner. “On a professional level, you would be surprised at how much winning the 48-hour film project and screening at the Cannes Film Festival. It means something,” he said. “On that pure business level, it can give you a calling card if you happen to win and the movie goes far.” More importantly, the benefits of the stress-filled festival extend beyond networking purposes. Milder said the festival is a creative boon for aspiring filmmakers. “Particularly, film school students can be — and I know this from experience. There’s something very protected about working in a film school environment — where you are kind of working with your friends,” Milder said. “You have an entire semester to make a thesis film. You’re using school equipment. You can learn a lot that way, but it doesn’t actually teach you about the problem solving, on-the-spot kind of thing where you’re losing light and you have to be done shooting at night, and you have 10 more shots to get.

It’s 100 degrees, possibly hotter, on the ground, but Daniel Richmond is on his knees pouring fine sand over searing hot metal stencils at the Downtown Civic Plaza. Names like “Colorado Chipmunk,” “Peregrine Falcon” and — close to UNM’s heart — “Mexican Wolf” form when Richmond, a UNM MFA candidate, lifts the stencil off the ground. All the names are the 112 endangered species in New Mexico, as defined by the Game and Fish Department. The stencils and dirt form a circle about 20 feet in diameter. Richmond works in one of four so far formed. The lines of dirt stand in contrast to the cracked concrete. He said the inspiration for the project originated from his childhood in Vermont. “I spent my childhood playing in the trees, running through corn fields,” Richmond said. “I started to notice everything was alive.” From there, his love of animals manifested itself in a variety of ways. Generally a sculptor, Richmond said he has done a lot of projects about the interconnectivity of life. Richmond did a similar project on Smith Plaza earlier this year. Some of the stenciled names disappear as people walk through the

dirt or when the wind starts to pick up. However, Richmond said the fleeting nature of the project is what makes it so substantial. “It’s the names themselves,” Richmond said. “They can have validity and force in themselves. The names, though, disappear. That connection is really important. We’re all a passing thing.” Back on the concrete, others diligently work on pouring sand over stencils. Jane Gordon, with a few other volunteers, has been working since 7:30 a.m. By 10 a.m., 10 volunteers were stenciling. Gordon said the names and the process behind them caught her attention. “It’s ephemeral,” she said. “You lift the stencils and they are going to get blown away. It’s a wonderful metaphor.” Another volunteer, Alex Goldner, said the sizzling heat was a necessary part of the installation. “It’s us paying for all these species,” he said, wiping sweat from his brow. “We are paying for trying to spread the word.” Goldner, decked out in a widebrimmed hat, a handkerchief around his neck and sunscreen glistening from his skin, continued to work. The stencils were hot to the touch, yet he held them steady while directing sand over them. He said the

That’s what the 48-hour Film Project is about.” Traynor said would-be filmmakers shouldn’t worry about creating a “good” film. “It’s all kinds of different levels of filmmaking,” Traynor said. “Some of the movies you are going to see in there are god awful. I’ve made bad movies myself. It’s totally open. It’s just about making a product to be totally proud of. It doesn’t matter what it is.” There is a flat fee of $135 to enter the competition before June 14th and an additional $20 for late registrations. Those considering competing are encouraged to attend a meet and greet at Marble Brewery Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. Milder said it’s a good place to learn more about the festival or to meet other filmmakers interested in competing.

He said too few people are making actual efforts to help the environment. “If you look at the conservation movement today, it’s a lot of old people,” Newcomer said. “Young people don’t do anything actively. It’s clichéd, but true. They are the future. They’ve got to be educated. They have to know what’s going on.” Richmond said he was happy to see everyone involved in the project. “Whatever gets done, gets done,” he said. “It’s the idea that we, as a community, are doing this thing.”

sand-sketched names help to put the plight of endangered species back in the minds of New Mexicans. “It’s a gentle reminder,” he said. “It mimics how things go in and out of the public consciousness. Whether we think about it or not, things are happening in the world, and we are a big part of it.” It would be easy to cite human destruction, like the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, as the reason behind the dangers these species face, but the cause is deeper than that, said Nathan Newcomer, associate director of New Mexico Wilderness Association.

by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
Six of UNM’s best athletes gathered outside UNM’s track Friday for interviews, but everyone could tell their minds were already at Hayward Field, the venue for the NCAA Championships. When championships kick off Wednesday in Eugene, Ore., the Lobos will send seven representatives to compete — Lee Emanuel, Jacob Kirwa, Chris Barnicle, Ruth Senior, Sandy Fortner, Deanna Young and Lamaar Thomas. Of the seven, five — Emanuel, Kirwa, Barnicle, Senior and Thomas — will compete in track events, while Young will look to bring home hardware in the triple jump and Fortner in the grueling heptathalon. Until then, all of them wait anxiously for the day to come. Among the Lobo regulars, there are those who faced great odds, particularly Fortner, who came back from a busted kneecap in 2008 to achieve paramount success this year. Also facing some disadvantages will be Young, a graduate from Highland High School, who qualified in the triple jump with a mark of 13.05 meters, despite a slight height disadvantage at 5 feet 4 inches. At this point, Young said she’s gotten used to her stature. “I think there’s only two people my height,” she said. “Most of the girls are bigger than me. They are the people I need to beat. That’s who I compete against. They are always going to be tall; even in the pros they are tall. I got to get used to it.” Most notably, Emanuel will be looking to extend his indoor dominance to the outdoor season. Emanuel finished with a time of 3:38.81 in the 1,500-meter run at NCAA west preliminaries in Austin, Texas.
Emanuel, who qualified for the 1,500-meter in the NCAA Championships, said the semifinal run was a good start, but it’s just another step toward the final competition. “I felt good about it,” Emanuel said. “I trained hard the week before, so I was never going to be fresh and running well. I just wanted to qualify. I led from the beginning, so I was very pleased. I got beaten by a few guys, but it didn’t really matter in the end because it was about getting in the top 5.” Emanuel, the two-year title holder for the indoor mile run, said he’s eager for his chance to win the outdoor equivalent as well. “I am feeling very confident, and I want to go there and win,” he said. “Coming in second would be a failure as far as I am seeing it right now. I am going to try my best, and, you know, if anyone beats me, they are going to have run very, very hard to do it. That’s the mentality I got right now.” Emanuel’s main competition will be Oregon’s Andrew Wheating, a topnotch runner who has beaten Emanuel in the last two races they’ve competed in. But Emanuel said Wheating won’t beat him this time. “He’s doing the 800 as well, so he’s going to be tired,” Emanuel said. “And I believe I can beat him anyway. Both times when I’ve raced him, I’ve gone out trying to run fast, not trying to win the race. To beat him, I am going to have to be at 100 percent, but I think I can be and will be.” Meanwhile, Kirwa, coming off an 11th-place finish in the cross country NCAA Championships, continues to prove himself as one of the premier runners in the country. At NCAA prelims, Kirwa ran the 5,000-meter run in 14:02.01, the second fastest time of the day. Kirwa said he didn’t turn in a peak
performance, but he was still pleased to make it to nationals. “Compared to last year, I am better off this year,” Kirwa said. “Since I realized I was doing well, I have been going for more and more, so I have been improving my performance times.” The same can be said for Barnicle and Senior. During the NCAA preliminary round, Barnicle finished with a time 29:40.45 in the 10,000-meter run, while Senior clocked a time of 10:15.46 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Both said they weren’t satisfied with their performances and are expecting more from nationals. Barnicle said the best thing he can do is be serious and prepared for finals. “They’re going to be some fast guys,” he said. “But on any given day anything can happen, so we’ll see what happens.” Which is exactly the case when it comes to Fortner. Fortner exceeded all expectations by qualifying for NCAA Championships with the third-best score in the nation. Fortner said she is in the best shape of her life and has a real chance of winning. “I am going to just focus on one event at time, day by day, and hopefully score 5800 to 5900. And, if that’s the case, I stand a chance to win,” she said.

Michael Jordan once said, “You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way.” Jordan’s wisdom became philosophy during Lobo head basketball coach Steve Alford’s basketball camp last week at the Rudy Davalos Center, one of many camps scheduled throughout the summer. The young basketball players from across New Mexico were trained in basketball fundamentals. They practiced free throws, developed a strong pivot foot and ran dribbling and passing drills until the skills became second nature. Alford said he hammers home fundamentals for a reason. “Most kids don’t spend enough time practicing the basics,” Alford said. “I take a huge incentive to make sure they understand fundamental basketball and make sure they get out of bad habits.” Alford had a strong presence during the camp. Between his lectures to campers, he could be seen evaluating players and offering advice. Over the course of the camps, Alford said, more than 800 kids, grades 1-12, will get hands-on instruction from the Lobos’ coaching staff, as well as from current and former players. “New Mexico is a strong basketball state. There is a lot of passion,” Alford said. “It’s great to give back to the community.” And during last week’s camp,
Alford’s fundamental philosophy was reinforced through the Lobo coaches and players who led the drills during the individual skills camp. “We teach them the skills coach teaches us during practice,” said Lobo junior guard Phillip McDonald. McDonald was one of six current Lobos who participated in the weekend camp. Former Lobos Darren Prentice and Roman Martinez were also on hand to give instruction. “I’ve seen some of these kids at this camp since they were sophomores in high school. Now they’re seniors,” McDonald said. “I’ve definitely seen them improve. Their shots get better, and they’re bigger.” For that reason, Abe Apodaca, an Albuquerque AAU coach, has sent his players to the Lobo basketball camps for the past four years. Beside fundamentals, he said the camp develops players’ confidence and discipline. “I coached current Lobo Chad Adams for six years,” Apodaca said. “He was always a good shooter but didn’t have a lot of confidence. He built that at this camp, and he really learned to be a scorer.” Aside from serious skill development, campers were encouraged to have fun while learning fundamentals. During a shooting drill where three players shot in a group from different positions on the court, Lobo center Drew Gordon, responsible for dishing the ball to the

RETORIA, South Africa — President Jacob Zuma on Sunday declared South Africa ready for the start of the World Cup and praised the tournament for bringing cohesion to his once divided nation. Zuma said the nation has not witnessed such enthusiasm and excitement since former president Nelson Mandela was released from an apartheid-era prison in 1990. Zuma spoke to reporters at the presidential guesthouse in Pretoria with FIFA president Sepp Blatter at his side. Zuma said South African flags, festooning office towers, homes, stores and cars across the country, have become the most popular item for locals, and applauded the explosion of national pride, saying it

June 7-13, 2010 / Page 9 was a priceless benefit of the tournament. Zuma also criticized those who doubted the nation’s ability to host the first World Cup on the African continent. South Africa was chosen in 2004 to host to this year’s tournament from June 11 to July 11. “We knew from that moment that South Africa would never be the same. It is clear that millions of our people have waited for years and look upon this tournament with hope, pride and a sense of belonging,” he said. Blatter said he met with Mandela last week and the frail 91-yearold icon expressed his wish to be present at the opening and closing ceremonies. “Anyway, his spirit will be present,” Blatter said. Zuma said sport has united all South Africans. In the run-up to see World Cup page 10

the soccer tournament, a top rugby final was played in the Johannesburg area of Soweto for the first time — to a rapturous welcome in the township. “We have seen things we have never seen before. Flags everywhere emphasize the cohesion we have been left with,” he said. He said after the final whistle of the World Cup on July 11, South Africa will benefit from improved infrastructure and facilities as well an internationally backed continentwide project known as the 1Goal Education Campaign. The campaign aims to put 72 million African children into school for the first time. “It will be one of the most lasting legacies of the 2010 World Cup,” he said. Another campaign known as “Football for Hope” plans to set up 20 combined soccer, education and public health centers across the continent. Blatter said Africa had often been sidelined in the past. “Bringing the World Cup to South Africa is to trust South Africa, to trust Africa and to say: ‘You are strong and you can do it,’” he said. Zuma said the six African teams in the tournament, including South Africa, were determined the gold World Cup trophy would stay in Africa this time around.
Summer Camp
Despite the optimistic outlook Sunday, there was trouble at a World Cup warmup match. Thousands of football fans stampeded outside the Makhulong Stadium in a Johannesburg suburb Sunday before a World Cup warmup match between Nigeria and North Korea, leaving at least 15 people injured. Several fans could be seen falling under the rush of people, many wearing Nigeria jerseys. World Cup security was not in place at the match in Tembisa because it was a friendly, but one policeman blamed FIFA for the trouble. Another policeman said that because this was a friendly, the Nigerian team, designated the host, was responsible for security. Once trouble broke out, security was increased and local police stepped in to control the situation. Such incidents frequently happen in football. Last year, FIFA fined Ivory Coast’s football federation $46,800 after 22 people died in a stampede at a World Cup qualifying match.

The season and the dream are over. Lobo head coach Ray Birmingham was able to deliver on his promise and take the UNM baseball CSF 11 team to the NCAA UNM 3 baseball championship after only three years with UNM. The UNM baseball team was eliminated Sunday from the NCAA tournament by Cal-State Fullerton, 11-3, in the NCAA Fullerton Region.
The tournament appearance for the Lobos was the first since 1962, a 48-year drought. The Titans put up a two-run home run in the first inning by Corey Jones and CSF added two more in the third inning to go up 5-0. Cal-State Fullerton never looked back. The Lobos did mend the wounds by scoring two runs in the bottom off of a Daniel Gonzalez single. Senior Max Willett added to the Lobos’ tally by a single of his own. Cal-State Fullerton’s Nick Ramirez hit a solo home run in the bottom of the third and ended Lobos starting

pitcher Mike Lachapelle. Kenny Toves allowed another run in the inning and added to the Titans score, 7-2. UNM finished with a 38-22 record and won the first game of the Fullerton Region with a victory over Stanford on Friday. However, the Lobos lost to Minnesota, 7-4, on Saturday to move into the consolation bracket. If the Lobos had beaten CSF, they would have played Minnesota again on Sunday night for the opportunity to advance to the Super Regionals of the tournament.

shoulders during his 35-point half against Portland in the 1992 finals. Even Jesus Shuttlesworth — you know, the sharpshooting kid Allen played in “He Got Game” — would have been proud. “There’s no better place, moment, time ... to win a game, and to win in a great fashion,” Allen said. “I don’t know what record it is that people are telling me that I got, but it’s great to have, great to be able to look back on it and say I did that. This is definitely our time.” Yet Allen’s barrage still wasn’t enough to hand the defending champions their first home playoff loss of the season. All that elegant brilliance might have been wasted without Rajon Rondo, whose triple-double contained much of the dirty work necessary to even the finals. While Allen scored 27 of his 32 points in the first half with a record-setting 3-point shooting dis-
play, Rondo completed his fifth playoff triple-double down the stretch. Taking charge after Allen cooled down, the point guard racked up 19 points — including the quick-reflex basket that put Boston ahead for good — along with 12 rebounds and 10 assists. “The best part about getting a triple-double is getting a win,” Rondo said. “That’s pretty much it. It would be pointless to get a triple-double and lose the game.” Game 3 is Tuesday night in Boston. Kobe Bryant scored 21 points while battling more foul trouble for the Lakers, who couldn’t catch up to Boston’s dynamic guards in Los Angeles’ first home playoff loss since last season’s Western Conference finals. Pau Gasol had 25 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers, and Andrew Bynum added 21 points and six rebounds.
