Republican politicians help students register

A beautiful ending

by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo

Vanessa Sanchez / Daily Lobo A rainbow graces UNM at the end of the first week of classes.

New voice joins no-confidence chorus

Six Republican politicians visited campus Thursday, helping students register to vote and sharing their platforms with passersby. UNM College Republicans brought the group — including possible Republican candidates for governor Allen Weh, Doug Turner and Janice Arnold-Jones — to the Duck Pond during the annual Student Organization Day. Weh, Turner and Arnold-Jones will run against each other in the upcoming Republican primaries. Heather Hall, president of College Republicans, said her organization brought the candidates to UNM so students can get informed about politics and make an educated decision when they vote. Hall said students would also be more likely to register if they could talk to candidates in person. “Voter registration is really important, especially during Welcome Back Days, because there are a ton of freshmen who are new to the democratic process,” she said. “They haven’t necessarily registered to vote so, it’s important that they do that and start engaging in politics.” Hall said other Republicans attended, including congressional candidate Jon Barela, mayoral candidate Richard J. Berry and land commissioner candidate Bob Cornelius. She said these candidates advocate things that are important to UNM students, like small government. “I think the biggest issue right now that really resonates with the campus is limited government,” Hall said. “I think all of us really value our freedoms and don’t want a government intruding upon our

personal decisions.” Weh said he will focus on the economy and education, because these two issues impact students the most and get them out to vote. Weh said he plans to revitalize New Mexico’s small businesses and bring in businesses from outside the state. He said this will help the economy and allow students to get jobs after graduation. Weh said when he talked to students on Thursday, many told him that they didn’t think legislators in Santa Fe were doing enough for UNM. “I have experienced a lot of comments about student dissatisfaction with the state of New Mexico’s government and their impression of it,” he said. “I really didn’t expect the cynicism towards Santa Fe on this campus.” Cornelius said he came to UNM to talk with students about making educated voting decisions — not necessarily to campaign for himself. He said UNM students represent a valuable age group to all candidates. “I talked to a lot of students about getting involved in general — whether it’s Democrat, Republican, whatever,” Cornelius said. “I think college is when you start forming your own opinions.” Cornelius said that if students are not satisfied with government — on campus or in New Mexico — they should take action. He said he will be coming to UNM again to encourage students to register to vote. “I would like to see younger voters get more involved,” Cornelius said. “The last campaign showed that young people actually do have a voice — they just need to get out there and vote.”

Zach Gould / Daily Lobo KUNM volunteers discuss striking a clause from their procedures manual. Many volunteers think the clause, which was added by the University administration, allows the University to not follow their end of the agreement.

by Leah Valencia Daily Lobo

KUNM volunteers passed a motion Aug. 26 to have a legalistic clause, added by the University, struck from their procedures manual. They also resolved that they have no confidence in the UNM administration and sent a letter stating as much to President David Schmidly’s office. “Volunteer Performance Management Procedures” outlines the disciplinary actions the station can take against KUNM volunteers, but many volunteers think the document’s final clause, Section 6, stipulates that the University doesn’t have to follow the policy at all.

Inside the

Daily Lobo volume 114

issue 6

“Except as expressly provided otherwise, KUNM and the University make no representation concerning adherence to any policy or procedure set forth herein,” the clause states. Volunteers at the station are required to sign the document to continue to work there. The KUNM Radio Board and Deputy Provost Richard Holder first drafted the document without the Section 6 clause in February. Holder later added the clause without consulting the Board, volunteers said. KUNM volunteer Henry Gonzalez said the volunteers have asked administrators why the clause is necessary and have not gotten an answer. Holder said the section is nec-

essary because it clarifies that volunteers are not employees of the University. “I am considering their opposition to that statement,” he said. “I talked to University counsel, and they really want part of that statement in, so we put in the smallest, least obnoxious part.” KUNM Radio Board Chairman Patrick O’Connell, who helped draft the document before Holder changed it, said he does not think the University is trying to keep KUNM volunteers out of the loop. “It is legal terminology at the bottom of the document,” he said. “It does not have any real impact.” O’Connell said the Radio Board

Nina Lanza is way out of line claiming ‘censorship’ by the UNM mail room because they wouldn’t deliver a personal package to her. ...” here’s your 0.02 back Posted Thursday “...It’s less a matter of the particular content of the package than it is that the University makes a guess at what’s in the package and then decides whether they will deliver it or not.

Outtakes portions will thrill pint-sized palates Editor, I thought I had come back to teach at UNM, only to discover I was in Lilliput instead. How did I know I was in the country of tiny people? I went to Outtakes in the SUB for lunch. There, in the glorious fridge, I saw sandwiches and salads ideal for Lilliputians but for adult money — $2 for three pieces of scratch-andsniff lettuce and a cherry tomato, food for little people, very little people who want to lose weight and lots of it and still dig deep into the wallet. Try the super recession special green wrap if you can see it. You have to bring your own tweezers, though. Or you can buy tweezers at Outtakes for $500. Hey, they’re special Lobo Tweezers. Lunching at Lilliputs — er, I mean Outtakes — reminds me in what high regard we are held by the SUB folks. I plan to lose lots of weight this semester so I can become small enough to appreciate the sumptuous Outtakes entrees. James Burbank UNM faculty

Mad-eye Moody’s tips for college by Derrick Skaug UWire

This could be the year that everything goes your way. You finally get that 4.0, save a lot of money and kick some serious butt at life. All you need is a little preparation and some friendly words of advice. Academics are the most important part of college. After all, that is why we are here — hopefully. A lot of people set themselves up for failure in class and life. The first mistake people make is signing up for the wrong classes. Like Professor Mad-Eye Moody told Harry in The Goblet of Fire, “You need to play to your strengths.” When you are determining your classes for the semester, it is important to find out who is teaching them and when. A lot of people sign up for unnecessary classes. If math is your weakness, avoid a math-heavy science class like chemistry, and pick something like geology or animal science. Another common mistake students make is rushing into major-specific classes. Trust me,

there is nothing worse than taking three prelaw courses as a freshman only to discover that none of them helped you advance toward your new degree. Until you are certain of your major, avoid taking classes that are not general education requirements. Once you start knocking some of those GERs out of the way and decide on a major, then you can focus on major-specific classes. Which professor you have also helps determine your level of success. There are several Web sites that tell you exactly what you need to know about each professor. My personal favorite is RateMyProfessors.com. Knowledge is power. If you tend to miss class, you can find teachers who don’t have mandatory attendance policies. If you like going to class, you can find teachers who give participation points for attendance. It certainly helps to know what to expect before you get to class. Unless you are good enough to ace the tests without going to lectures, setting yourself up so you can attend class is really important. For lesser mortals who do better when they attend class, I suggest setting up a schedule to make

it as easy as possible to get to class. Because I live off campus, I enrolled in classes chosen so that I only have to go to campus three days a week. Also, I’m more of a night owl, so I avoided early classes. You wouldn’t believe how many students think they can make that 7 a.m. class without sleeping through their afternoon courses. Another mistake students make is buying every single “required” book for a class ahead of time. During my first semester, I discovered that some professors never use the textbooks. Also, buying books from the university bookstore is easy, but rarely the cheapest choice. I found many of my books at the libraries. I also recommend browsing Amazon and eBay, where books can often be found for a 10th of the price. Remember what Mad-Eye Moody said: “Constant vigilance!” A little preparation can go a long way.

Eagles employing Vick sends wrong message Editor, In response to the Aug. 17 column “Race a factor in PETA’s rebuke of Vick,” it’s worth noting that in addition to PETA, millions of decent football fans around the world were disappointed that the Philadelphia Eagles chose to sign Michael Vick. This is a man who hanged dogs from trees, electrocuted them with jumper cables, held them underwater until they drowned

in his swimming pool, and even threw his own family dogs into the fighting pit to be torn to shreds while he laughed. If a professor had been convicted of these crimes, would you want that person teaching again? Michael Vick and the Eagles are now teaching a nation-full of kids that if you’re elite enough, you can do whatever you want without long-term consequences. Animal abusers are cowards who take their issues out on “easy victims” — and as numerous studies show, these often include members of their own species. Such barbaric cruelty is especially worrisome in light of the FBI’s finding that a history of cruelty to

animals regularly appears in its records of serial rapists and murderers. Vick should count himself lucky that he gets a chance to be “rehabilitated” when most pit bulls who have survived the hell that he put his dogs through are too crushed and torn to shreds — physically and spiritually — to ever have a chance at a normal life again. PETA hopes that Vick has learned his lesson and is remorseful for his crimes, but since he’s given no public indication that’s the case, only time will tell. Ryan Huling College Campaign Coordinator for PETA

Firefighters battle blaze near LA by Robert Jablon

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — California firefighters working in withering heat battled wildfires Thursday in rugged mountains above the foothill suburbs of Los Angeles, in the central coast region and on the outskirts of Yosemite National Park. Weather plagued fire crews as temperatures in some areas rose toward triple digits and humidity levels headed downward. For a second day, the National Weather Service issued a red flag warning of extreme fire conditions for many of California’s central and southern mountain ranges. No major structural losses were reported. The major battles in Southern California were in the San Gabriel

Mountains, as firefighters struggled to keep flames from topping ridges and surging into a wider area of the sprawling Angeles National Forest northeast of downtown Los Angeles, where the temperature hit 99 degrees before noon. The largest of two fires, which spread lung-burning haze over much of metropolitan Los Angeles, was 45 percent contained after burning across 1,850 acres, or nearly 3 square miles, said Capt. Jim Wilkins of the U.S. Forest Service. Nearly 1,000 firefighters aided by bulldozers and a fleet of waterdropping and fire retardant-dropping aircraft were concentrating on the fire’s northeastern edge. Wilkins said the area is so steep that “it’s almost to the point where you need ropes” for firefighters to

reach it. The heat and very low humidity — which saps moisture from vegetation — were not helping. “When you have all of those factors in alignment, it just burns explosively,” Wilkins said. On Wednesday, about 70 people were ordered evacuated from a trailer park and private campground along a fork of the San Gabriel River, Wilkins said. The fire, believed caused by human action, began Tuesday near a dam and reservoir in San Gabriel Canyon, a half-dozen miles above the city of Azusa. A second fire about 20 miles to the west surged in the dry conditions Thursday north of the foothill suburb of La Canada Flintridge and sent another massive plume of smoke above Los Angeles.

seems not to care,” he said. “They do not care what we want and they’re just trying to do what they please.” Radio Board Volunteer Representative Linda Lopez McAlister said this sentiment caused the volunteers to draft their letter of no confidence. “(Administrators) don’t listen, they do not discuss anything with the radio board or volunteers. They do not compromise and they do not explain,” she said. “It is no wonder

the volunteers are frustrated, angry and do not have confidence anymore.” McAlister said volunteer participation is essential because volunteers produce most KUNM programming for free, with paid staff only working 15 to 20 hours per week. “The station cannot run without the volunteers, there are only 14 staff members and around 170 volunteers,” McAlister said.

U.S. death toll ties bleak record in Afghan conflict by Jason Straziuso The Associated Press

KABUL — A roadside bomb and gunfire attack killed a U.S. service member in southern Afghanistan on Thursday. The death pushed August into a tie with July as the deadliest months of the eight-year war. The death brought the number of U.S. troops who have died in Afghanistan to 44 this month with four days left in August. More than 60,000 U.S. troops are in the country — a record number — to fight rising insurgent violence. The number of roadside bombs deployed by militants across the country has skyrocketed, and U.S. forces have moved into new and deadlier areas this summer, in part to help secure the country’s Aug. 20 presidential election. The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan released his new counterinsurgency strategy Thursday, telling troops that the supply of militants is “effectively endless” and that U.S. and NATO forces need to see the country through the eyes of its villagers. Gen. Stanley McChrystal said

troops “must change the way that we think, act and operate.” McChrystal hopes to install a new approach to counterinsurgency where troops will make the safety of villagers the top priority, above killing an endless supply of militants. “An insurgency cannot be defeated by attrition; its supply of fighters, and even leadership, is effectively endless,” the new guidelines said. When U.S. and NATO troops battle a group of 10 militants and kill two of them, the relatives of the two dead insurgents will want revenge and will likely join the insurgency, the guidelines say, spelling out the formula: “10 minus 2 equals 20 (or more) rather than 8.” “This is part of the reason why eight years of individually successful kinetic actions have resulted in more violence,” McChrystal said. He called on troops to think of how they would expect a foreign army to operate in their home countries, “among your families and your children, and act accordingly,” to try to win over the Afghan population. Violence is on the rise in Afghanistan even as it falls in Iraq, where nearly twice as many U.S. troops

Suicide attack targets border guards by Riaz Khan

The Associated Press PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A suicide bomber attacked the main border crossing for convoys ferrying supplies to U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan on Thursday, killing at least 19 security officers, officials said. The strike will raise fears the Pakistani Taliban is regrouping and making good on its word to carry out revenge attacks following the slaying of its leader, Baitullah Meh-

sud, in a CIA missile strike earlier this month. Also in the border region, two U.S. missiles hit a suspected militant compound, killing six people, the latest in a string of such attacks, intelligence officials said. Pakistan’s lawless border with Afghanistan is a main front in the battle against al-Qaida and the Taliban, who are destabilizing both countries. Under heavy U.S. pressure, the Pakistani military has launched ground offensives and air attacks on the insurgents in recent months, but much of the region remains under

militant control. The suicide attacker walked up to a group of border guards outside their barracks at the Torkham checkpoint in the Khyber region and detonated his explosives, local police officer Sadiq Khan said. The victims were breaking their daylong fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The border had closed for the day a few hours earlier. Ali Raza, an official in the administration office, said he heard a huge explosion in the building next door.

Colin Braley / AP Photo NASA scientists prepare for a test-firing of the five-segment first stage of the Ares-1 rocket Thursday. The motor is NASA's next-generation transportation system, designed for the Orion program, which is scheduled to begin carrying cargo payloads and crew to the International Space Station in 2015.

Moon rocket test-firing stopped by faulty valve by Paul Foy

The Associated Press PROMONTORY, Utah — A mechanical failure forced a NASA contractor on Thursday to call off the first test firing of the main part of NASA’s powerful new moon rocket. The test wasn’t immediately rescheduled as officials scrambled to learn the root cause of the failure. Alliant Techsystems Inc. called off the rocket burn with just 20 seconds left on the countdown clock. Operators cited failure of a power unit that drives hydraulic tilt controls for the rocket’s nozzle. The rocket was anchored to the ground in a horizontal position for the test. It was a setback for a carefully staged, $75 million event that drew thousands of onlookers. Alliant hoped the routine test would prove the performance of a new program for space exploration that, like the test rocket, may not fly because of NASA budget problems. There was no indication anything was wrong with the rocket itself, which packs 1 million pounds of chemical propellant, enough to boost a 321-foot-long vehicle 190,000 feet into the atmosphere. At a news conference in Utah, officials said the power unit for the nozzle controls, which steer a rocket

in flight, was robbed of fuel, apparently because of a faulty valve. That had potential implications for the space shuttle, which uses a nearly identical system. Officials in Utah notified their counterparts at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where NASA has had to twice delay the launch of Discovery for other reasons. The Ares test problem could introduce a new delay in the launch of Discovery, previously set back because of weather and again because of a problem with a different shuttle fuel valve. Shuttle managers said Thursday they will examine what went wrong with Ares and decide by early Friday whether to go ahead with a launch set for 11:59 p.m. EDT Friday. In Utah, Alliant executives said their valve problem had never before emerged to scrub a rocket’s test firing. Engineers could have fired the rocket anyway, but they halted the two-minute burn because they wouldn’t have been able to test the agility of the rocket nozzle. “This test is really important to the program, and it’s a rare occurrence to have a problem with a booster,” said Charlie Precourt, Alliant’s general manager for launch systems, who was a four-time shuttle astronaut. “We should have this sorted out shortly.”

Richardson back in play as no indictments returned by Barry Massey

The Associated Press SANTA FE, N.M. — A dark cloud has lifted from Gov. Bill Richardson’s political future after the federal government’s decision against indictments in a pay-to-play investigation that prompted the governor to withdraw from his nomination as U.S. commerce secretary earlier this year. Political analysts said the yearlong probe’s end could even revive Richardson’s chances of finding a place in President Barack Obama’s administration in the future. The governor’s second term expires at the end of 2010 and he can’t seek reelection. The Democratic governor and former high-ranking members of his administration won’t be criminally charged in an investigation of how lucrative state bond work went to one of the governor’s large political donors, according to two people familiar with the case. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in New

Mexico began an investigation last year into the hiring of a Richardson political donor, Beverly Hills-based CDR Financial Products Inc., as a financial adviser on state transportation bond deals. The state work generated almost $1.5 million in fees for CDR in 2004-2005. CDR Chief Executive David Rubin and his firm contributed $110,000 to Richardson political committees in 2003-2005. The largest of those contributions, $75,000, was made less than a week before CDR was selected in June 2004 by the New Mexico Finance Authority to handle the reinvestment of idle bond proceeds. Investigators reviewed whether Richardson’s former chief of staff, David Contarino, played a role in the hiring of CDR. A grand jury subpoenaed records from the governor’s office about CDR and former Richardson aide David Harris, now Executive Vice President of Business and Finance at the University of New Mexico, and Mike Stratton, a

political adviser. Harris served as Richardson’s deputy chief of staff and then became executive director of the Finance Authority, which selected CDR for the bond-financing work. Contarino and Stratton did not immediately respond to telephone messages seeking comment. Harris said he had been advised by his attorney not to make a statement until receiving a notice from prosecutors. Federal prosecutors typically do not publicly announce when an investigation ends because it’s always possible that new evidence could be found later and a case might be reopened. The decision not to seek indictments was made by Justice Depart-

Pakistan

ment officials in Washington, they said, speaking on condition they not be identified, because prosecutors had not disclosed results of the probe. “It’s over. There’s nothing. It was killed in Washington,” one of the people told The Associated Press. A department spokesman declined to comment on the case and whether Attorney General Eric Holder played a role in deciding not to pursue charges. The agency’s silence drew criticism from New Mexico Republican Party Chairman Harvey Yates Jr., who said Holder should provide “transparent and honest answers” about who was responsible for the decision to end the investigation without indictments.

“We rushed out and saw destruction all around,” Raza said. He said several of the wounded told him the last thing they remembered was seeing a boy approaching carrying what they thought was water. It was unclear if the boy was the bomber. At least 19 people were killed and 20 wounded, according to Fazal Akbar, the head doctor at Landi Kota hospital, where all the victims were taken. The Torkham checkpoint marks the main border crossing from Pakistan’s Khyber Pass into Afghanistan. U.S. and NATO troops in landlocked Afghanistan rely on the supply line for up to 75 percent of their fuel, food and other logistical goods. Thousands of civilian vehicles also use the route. Militants have targeted NATO convoys and bombed bridges along the route in the past — cutting off supplies briefly last year — but Pakistani military analyst Hasan-Askari Rizvi said he doubted that was the motive in Thursday’s attack. “My own feeling is that this was aimed at those government forces rather than stopping supplies,” he said. Pakistan’s government dispatched paramilitary forces to escort supply convoys through the Khyber Pass after several attacks last year, and there has not been a major assault on a convoy for nearly six weeks. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing, but the Pakistani Taliban will be a likely suspect. Rizvi said the militants could be trying to prove they are still unified and effective after Mehsud was killed on Aug. 5. The Pakistani Taliban only acknowledged he was dead

on Tuesday and named 28-year-old Hakimullah Mehsud as his successor after reports of a power struggle. Another U.S. missile struck Thursday in Mehsud’s stronghold of South Waziristan, said two Pakistani intelligence officials on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. There were conflicting claims as to the identities of the dead. One of the intelligence officials said they were believed to be militants from Uzbekistan. Pakistani Taliban spokesman Azam Tariq called the Associated Press soon after the attack and said that women and children were the only victims. Neither claim could be independently verified. The attack was in a remote area of the tribal region, which is off-limits to journalists and largely under Taliban control. In the past, both the government and Taliban have passed on information that was not true. The United States has launched more than 40 missile strikes from unmanned planes on al-Qaida and Taliban targets close to the Afghan border since last year, reportedly killing several top commanders, but also civilians. It does not comment on the attacks. The missiles are fired from CIAoperated drones believed to be launched from Afghanistan or from secret bases inside Pakistan. They are reported to be piloted by operatives inside the United States. The Pakistani government publicly protests the attacks, though it is assumed to be cooperating with the strikes and providing intelligence for them. It has called on Washington to give the technology for such attacks to Islamabad because its military is capable of using the drones.

Meanwhile, U.S. and Afghan forces battled Taliban militants at a medical center in eastern Afghanistan after a Taliban commander sought treatment there, and a U.S. helicopter gunship fired on the clinic after militants put up resistance. Reports of the militant death toll from Wednesday’s firefight varied widely. The spokesman of the governor of Paktika province said 12 militants died, while police said two were killed. It wasn’t clear why the tolls differed. The fighting began after a wounded Taliban commander sought treatment at a clinic in the Sar Hawza district of Paktika. Afghan forces went to the center and got in a firefight with militants. U.S. forces later provided backup. Hamidullah Zhwak, the governor’s spokesman, said the Taliban commander was wounded Aug. 20. Militants brought him and three other wounded Taliban to the clinic Wednesday. Afghan forces were tipped off to their presence and soon arrived at the scene, he said. Insurgent snipers fired from a tower near the clinic, and troops

called in an airstrike from U.S. forces, Zhwak said. Fighting between some 20 militants and Afghan and U.S. forces lasted about five hours, and 12 Taliban were killed, he said. “After ensuring the clinic was cleared of civilians, an AH-64 Apache helicopter fired rounds at the building ending the direct threat and injuring the targeted insurgent in the building,” a U.S. military statement said. A U.S. military spokeswoman, Lt. Cmdr. Christine Sidenstricker, said the clinic’s doctor gave U.S. troops permission to fire on the clinic. After the battle, Afghan and U.S. forces met with villagers and discussed rebuilding the clinic, a U.S. summary of the meeting said. Villagers expressed “disgust” that militants used the medical center to fire from and that they understood that the action by Afghan and coalition forces was necessary, the summary said. Seven insurgents — including the wounded commander — had been detained, the U.S. statement said.

Speedy Vick leaves Favre behind by Damian Garde

Andy King / AP Photo Brett Favre is back in the NFL with Minnesota, but the Vikings picked the wrong QB if they were looking to go to the Promised Land. Opinion editor Damian Garde says Favre’s a trinket from a bygone era. Numbers, however, provide some clarity. Last season, Favre threw 22 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. In his last full season, Vick chipped in just two fewer touchdowns but nine fewer INTs. And then there’s the running game. Before getting locked up, Vick rushed for 1,039 yards in the 2006 season. The longest run of Favre’s career is 40 yards, and that was 14 years ago. Last year, he rushed for 43. In short, Minnesota dashed a bright future with hopes drawn from a misremembered past. But where does that leave Favre, that aw-shucks slab of the good old days? As annoying as his daytime TV routine has become, you can’t really blame the old

from the Super Bowl” has become such a tired talking point that it’s now engraved somewhere at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. With all that in mind, the Vikings enter a summer dominated by two free-agent quarterbacks and take the rickety, red-faced one. Taking Favre over Michael Vick is like picking a hang glider over a stealth bomber. Vick is the former poster child for the evolved NFL: quick, strong and terrifying to opposing defenses. Imagine the 2009 Vikings with him onboard: a wildcat offense with Vick and Adrian Peterson in the backfield while Bernard Berrian goes long. Defensive coordinators would bleed from the ears. The big knock on Vick was always his passing ability. And the legend of Favre is that he could throw a football through the eye of a needle.

Last week, the Earth rattled, rivers ran red and ESPN’s Ed Werder briefly caught fire. The Minnesota Vikings signed Brett Favre. The Internet promptly imploded under the weight of heavy-handed sports journalism. Sports Illustrated’s Peter King wandered out into the desert on a vision quest, and Fox’s Jason Whitlock began uncontrollably stamping his feet and shouting sexist slurs — a sign he’s either angry or in heat. But one thing seemed to go unmentioned amid all the handwringing: Favre, even if he weren’t a battered and paranoid shell of his former self, would still be a trinket from a bygone era. In his prime, the stubbly Wrangler pitchman was the perfect example of our quarterback mythology: big, white, polite and largely immobile. Draped in the American flag, Favre would drop back, bounce around and gun one out into the ether. The Packers would win, and freedom and democracy would be safe until next Sunday. At least that’s how I remember it. But the days of corn-fed meatheads like John Elway and Troy Aikman are coming to a close. The NFL, like all sports, is forever marching forward in terms of speed and athleticism. Look at Brian Urlacher — linebackers are bigger and faster than ever. Look at Cortland Finnegan and Nnamdi Asomugha — corners can run, jump and pass rush like never before. Not to be outdone, NFL offenses have followed suit, and thus came the wildcat formation. If defenses are faster, stronger and better-prepared than in the past, what happens when their opponents try to scramble their brains by snapping the ball straight to a running back? And that’s pretty much the future of the league: hyper-skilled athletes trying simultaneously to trick and trounce one another. It makes for great television. Presumably, the Minnesota Vikings know this. Furthermore, calling the Vikes “a quarterback away

When he has touched the ball, more things have happened.” Dennis has been explosive between the tackles during fall camp, in addition to maneuvering his body artfully and finding open space on the field.

The UNM football team’s running backs are playing a game of musical chairs — all four are dashing for the starting seat. Surprisingly, freshman Demond Dennis created a buzz during fall training camp and might be the clear-cut favorite to take the field Sept. 5 in the Lobos’ season-opener against Texas A&M. Offensive coordinator and running backs coach Darrell Dickey said Dennis has been the best running back day-in and day-out. He’s been poised when catching the ball out of the backfield, something Locksley and Dickey like their running

Just because Dennis has impressed the coaching staff doesn’t mean he’s the favorite to win the starting position, he said. “They’re day-to-day, like I am,” Dickey said. “We are preparing for Texas A&M, and we are seeing how everything goes.” Three other running backs, A.J.

The UNM womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team is nearing its first major challenge of the season, and fans will soon find out how the Lobos handle playing on the road. Today, UNM kicks off a fourgame road trip. First stop on the schedule: Las Vegas, for a two-game tournament, then on to Flagstaff, Ariz., for another tournament, this one hosted by Northern Arizona. The Lobos will take on Cal State

Bakersfield and Illinois State in Sin City before finishing in Arizona with Oakland and Iowa. While the Lobos werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that crisp in their season opener against Idaho State, forward Jennifer Williams said UNM fixed what it needed to in practice this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working really well together,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely know how everybody plays.

No all-Williams final at U.S. Open by Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Serena and Venus Williams have met in eight Grand Slam finals, most recently at Wimbledon last month. The U.S. Open won’t feature No. 9. The No. 2-seeded Serena and No. 3 Venus are in the same half of the U.S. Open field announced Thursday, meaning they could face each other only in the semifinals of the year’s last major tournament. “It is a shame. They’re the people to beat. They rise to the occasion at the big ones, especially Serena,” three-time U.S. Open champion John McEnroe said. “In interest level alone, it’s too bad,” added McEnroe, part of the CBS Sports announcing team at the tournament. That network began carrying the U.S. Open women’s final in prime time in 2001, a move widely attributed to the sisters’ ascension in the sport. Venus beat Serena that year for the championship, and nearly 23 million viewers tuned in, giving the final the largest TV audience of any program that night, including a

football game between Notre Dame and Nebraska. In July, Serena beat Venus at Wimbledon for her 11th Grand Slam singles title — four more than Venus owns. Serena also leads 6-2 in major finals and 11-10 overall in professional matches. “There’s definitely a rivalry, especially when we step out on the court,” Serena said. “We never talk about numbers, per se. But when we’re on the court, we both have in the back of our minds that we won that many matches against each other,” she said. “At least it’s in the back of my mind.” There won’t be Williams-Williams to decide a title, but there could be Federer-Nadal. No. 1-seeded Roger Federer and No. 3 Rafael Nadal were drawn into opposite halves of the field when the draw was held behind closed doors Wednesday. They have played in seven major finals as Nos. 1-2, including at each of the other three Grand Slam tournaments, with Nadal leading 5-2.

possibility the two men who have dominated tennis in recent years would wind up on the same side of the bracket in New York. Instead, 15-time Grand Slam title-winner Federer has No. 4 Novak Djokovic and No. 5 Andy Roddick in his half. Federer edged Roddick 16-14 in the fifth set of the Wimbledon final in July. Federer is bidding for a sixth consecutive U.S. Open title, but he wasn’t always so comfortable in New York. “I used to struggle here a little bit,” he said Thursday, “just because I had trouble with the wind, trouble with the humidity … my mind would wander during the tournament.” The potential men’s quarterfinals are Federer vs. No. 8 Nikolay Davydenko, and Roddick vs. Djokovic in the top half; No. 2 Andy Murray vs. No. 6 Juan Martin del Potro, and Nadal vs. No. 7 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the bottom half. Nadal could face Murray in the semifinals for the second straight year at the U.S. Open; Murray upset Nadal in 2008 to reach his first
