Paying tribute to 9/11, one flag at a time
UNM Foundation keeps even keel in rough waters by Kristian Macaron Daily Lobo
Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Students Mark Kunzman, left, and Cory Eden were among six people who placed flags at the Duck Pond on Friday in commemoration of 9/11. Lobo Conservatives and College Republicans planted 3,000 flags to represent every person who died in the attack in 2001, said Lobo Conservatives President Stephen Dinkel.
Regents OK West Side health clinic by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
The UNM Finance and Facilities Committee approved a $5.5 million health clinic on Albuquerque’s West Side during their meeting Friday. The committee, chaired by Don Chalmers, also approved funding requests for several major additions to the UNM Hospital. The committee discussed the need for a new health care facility at Central Avenue and Unser Boulevard to
accommodate the residents in the nearby neighborhood. It will cost $5.5 million and have 21 exam rooms. Paul Roth, committee member and executive vice president for the Health Sciences Center, said UNM hospital needs additional facilities, because there is a shortage of health care providers in the area. “We are always on top of the supply side of the equation. We know that — we get into the topic of work-force shortage,” he said. “We have a shortage in literally

Missing student’s body found in wall by David Collins
The Associated Press NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Police on Sunday said they found what they believe is the body of a Yale University graduate student and brideto-be, hidden inside the wall of the university building where she was last seen five days before. New Haven Assistant Police Chief Peter Reichard said officials are presuming the body was that of doctoral student Annie Le, who has been the focus of a massive police search since Tuesday. “It hasn’t been positively identified as of this time,” Reichard told reporters Sunday night. “However,

we are assuming it is her … so we are treating it as a homicide.” State police found the body at about 5 p.m. Sunday in an area of the building that houses utility cables that run between floors. The building is in the Ivy League school’s medical complex, about a mile from the main campus. Reichard said police also recovered “a large amount” of physical evidence, but he would not discuss what that included. Yale President Richard Levin offered support to Le’s family and her fiance, Columbia University graduate student Jonathan Widawsky. The couple was to marry Sunday in Syosset, N.Y., on Long Island’s
The UNM Foundation has stabilized the funding the University receives annually, despite trouble from the recession, say representatives of the school’s independent nonprofit financial arm. The University received more than $90 million in gifts over the 2008-09 fiscal year, plus $15.2 million from the combined endowment of the University and the Foundation. While the endowment suffered in the economic downturn, it has been able to remain in the top quartile of its peer institutions, said Foundation President John Stropp. “Traditionally, we have been in the top quartile with these results for institutions of our size and the current return,” he said. “For the year (that) just ended, we were down 20.5 percent, but on a relative basis it beat the market, which was down 35 percent to 40 percent.” Foundation spokeswoman Jill Zack said the endowment return as calculated from January through August of this year was about 9 percent. Fundraising efforts have also felt the crunch. “Our development officers have had to work hard. They’ve had to knock on 10 times as many doors as they have in the past,” Zack said. Stropp said the funds raised this year were $5 million shy of last year’s original goal. “We chose that $95 million goal just after the $85.5 million euphoria, which is significantly over the previous FY 06 figure of $72.5 million,” he said. “When we came out at $90 million plus a little change, we were very proud, considering the economy in general and the state economy, that everyone responded as they did.” Stropp said that this year’s goal is $90 million. “We think it’s going to be just as hard if not harder to raise $90 million in this environment coming up,” he said. “I think this is the consensus around the country, that everybody is going to have to work harder just to hold their own.”
Zack said the UNM Foundation works with 35 development officers in colleges and departments across campus. The officers collaborate with deans to compile lists of their needs. The lists are presented to donors so they can see how their gifts will benefit students and faculty. “The University is sort of a mecca for excitement, for donors to come in and make an impact with whatever interest they have,” she said. “There is increased student enrollment right now and that just increases our demands. As long as we have development officers to make a case, it’s an easy case to make.” One of the primary programs funded by the Foundation is the UNM Presidential Scholarship Program. This program provides scholarships to hundreds of students at UNM. Scholarship supervisor Bill Bloom said that the Foundation’s stability has allowed the University to increase the number of scholarships offered to incoming freshmen. “It ensures that the scholarships are at or exceed prior numbers,” Bloom said. “We’ve seen an increase in enrollment and we haven’t had to decrease — based on economic conditions — the number of scholarships offered. We’ve been able to maintain that based on their being able to maintain their numbers.” Bloom said the scholarship office was able to offer 120 presidential scholarships to incoming freshmen this year, but the funds raised this year won’t affect the University for a few years. “These record-setting numbers and goals that they have met and exceeded — we don’t really see the bump on that for several funding cycles,” Bloom said. Stropp said the Foundation has been able to counter the recessiondriven economy by using a payout system that distributes funding over a period of three years and 12 quarters. This helps counteract market fluctuations, he said. “This payout out of the endowment is $15 million this year. It was $14 million last year,” he said “We use a trailing 12-quarter average.

north shore. “The family and fiance and friends now must suffer the additional ordeal of waiting for the body to be positively identified,” Levin said. “I met earlier this evening with Annie’s family, with her fiance and his family, and I conveyed to them all the deeply felt support of the entire university community.” Police on Sunday would not say if they have any suspects. They previously have said Widawsky is not a suspect and is assisting with the investigation. Le, 24, was last seen Tuesday morning in the five-story

It’s propped up on cinderblocks and hovers just above the water lapping at the walls of her bedroom. The water stands a foot deep throughout her house.

LETTER Smoking areas ill-conceived, poorly designated, smelly Editor, I have read and heard much of the discourse regarding smoking on campus, or the ban of it, I should say. Yes, I am a smoker and, yes, I am completely willing to comply with all of UNM’s rules, but it is hard to do when you don’t know them. I suggest that the Daily Lobo publish a map of the approved smoking areas on campus. I also encourage UNM to post that map on its Web site. This will foster knowledge, understanding and better compliance with UNM’s smoking policy. There are only two smoking areas that I can find: outside Zimmerman Library and near Dane Smith Hall. I think the smoking area at Dane Smith may be a joke. In front of the first floor doors is a semi-enclosed cubby area that is closer than 25 feet to the door. There is a small red spray-painted sign that says, “designated smoking area.” How can this be a real designated smoking area when it is closer than 25 feet? Furthermore, it keeps the smell sort of locked into that area. Melissa Roberge UNM student
LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: of 47 respondents
Is UNM’s tobacco-free policy working? No. The policy’s enforcement structure gives smokers no incentive to avoid 57% lighting up wherever they please. No. UNM’s failure to label smoking areas has made the policy frustrating 38% and ineffective. Yes. Since August, students have been able to walk around campus without 6% having to worry about secondhand smoke. Yes. The policy is providing an incentive for smokers to kick an unhealthy 4% habit
THIS WEEK’S POLL: What do you think of the controversy over ASUNM and the Veterans Day bill? Whether “true heroes” or “some of the true heroes,” ASUNM should have passed it the first time. The senators did the right thing — fine-tuning language is routine for governing bodies. The original bill was flowery and loosely accurate. It needed heavy rewording. ASUNM should not pass the resolution, even after rewording it.

UNM helps Fox lie about legacy by Max Fitzpatrick
Daily Lobo guest columnist This week, the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, has come to UNM as part of an effort to give his legacy a makeover. Fox is slated to give a talk advocating the U.S. pass immigration reform, including a guest-worker program. Because Fox’s neoliberal economic policies did not create jobs in Mexico, impoverished laborers had to flee their homes to find work here. This sad reality doesn’t make Fox look good, so Fox has come to revamp his image. A centerpiece of Fox’s legacy-enhancement project is his private presidential library, Centro Fox. UNM has agreed to help Fox with his legacy by entering into exchange agreements with Centro Fox, even though Centro Fox has illicitly used public funds. To give balance to the way Fox and UNM administrators portray Fox’s history, here’s a more critical look at Fox’s time in office. In a contribution to the U.S. immigration debate, Fox said, “There is no doubt that Mexicans — filled with dignity, willingness and ability to work — are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States.” Giving his two cents on the thousands of layoffs in Michigan, Fox told downtrodden autoworkers to “get over it” and prepare for integration with Mexico. In conversation with an illiterate peasant,

Fox said she would have “a happy life” because of her illiteracy. Maybe his overestimation of the benefits of marginalized education for poor women is why illiteracy increased in Mexico during Fox’s tenure. In addition to his racism, classism and sexism, Fox engaged in anti-democratic practices throughout his presidency. In 2000, Fox’s campaign apparatus illegally collected sums of money from abroad and laundered it the way drug traffickers do. During his time in office, Fox’s wife and her sons pilfered from the public purse. When a journalist wrote an account of it, the reporter found herself under house arrest. In response to social protest at San Salvador Atenco, federal police under Fox beat and detained hundreds of people, systematically raped dozens of women and killed two citizens, according to Amnesty International. Fox said that his administration would “see that the space for investigation of any (official wrongdoing) would be totally open.” But he did not seem to notice when his own secretary of public security rejected the incriminating findings of Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission and stonewalled further inquiry. When the teachers and indigenous citizens of Oaxaca mobilized in protest of their corrupt governor in 2006, Fox said, “We will continue to insist on … reaching an agreement and resolving everything in that manner.” But the federal police he deployed to Oaxaca contributed to racking up 1,200 official complaints of human rights violations, according to Amnesty International. Notwithstanding the aforementioned human rights abuses, press censorship and money laundering, Fox’s most memorable sin may have been his election tampering. A proponent of democracy, Fox wanted to make the presidential selection process easier for Mexicans by clearing the field of candidates of unnecessary clutter, so he stealthily tried to have the popular mayor of Mexico City, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, arrested and disqualified from running for
president. Fox later asserted that “to promote democracy … it was important to detain López Obrador.” To stop López Obrador, Fox had an unprecedented secret visit with the chief justice of the supreme court to discuss how the judicial and executive branches could collude in keeping López Obrador out of the race. When Fox’s attorney general brought trumped-up charges against López Obrador, Fox declared that the “culture of legality implies a certain cost … that people assume responsibility.” Continuing his antidemocratic behavior, Fox pressured legislators and party leaders to vote against letting López Obrador mount a candidacy. The entire affair shocked the masses of Mexico City and the international media. Once they saw that one of Fox’s costs of democracy was democracy itself, they flooded the streets and editorial pages in protest. López Obrador stayed in the presidential race, and, to everyone’s surprise, so did Fox. Even though Mexican law prohibits incumbents from campaigning or taking sides in the succession process, Fox announced he would “promote the ideals, values, proposals and political project” of his party in the 2006 election. The Federal Election Institute admonished Fox for this illegal partisanship, both before and after the contested election (which Fox’s candidate won by less than half a percent). From racist, sexist and classist statements to looking the other way on human rights violations, from misusing security forces to causing mass migration with corporate economic policies, Vicente Fox’s legacy is clearly in dire need of revision. Given the lowered literacy levels, high inequality, public corruption and election meddling marking Fox’s presidency, it is surprising that UNM is recognizing Fox for contributions to “democracy and development.” In this time of state-budget shortfalls, why is UNM using public resources to help Fox rehabilitate his personal legacy? Max Fitzpatrick is a UNM graduate student.

Former convicts show tourists la dolce vita by Ariel David
The Associated Press
M
NAPLES, Italy — Luigi “Giggino” Nocerino once stalked tourists through the tight alleys of this southern Italian city, snatching bags and valuables to fuel his drug addiction. Now he looks after his former prey, escorting them through bad neighborhoods and giving tips on how to avoid muggings and where to eat the best pizza. Nocerino is one of 70 former convicts, including muggers, drug traffickers and con artists, hired by authorities to guide tourists through the art-rich but crime-plagued city and use their inside knowledge of the local underworld to keep visitors safe. Officials say the six-month experiment that began in May is succeeding in reducing petty crime and preventing the ex-cons from falling back into old habits or joining the ranks of the Camorra, the powerful mob syndicate that runs global drug rings out of Naples. “I used to hunt for tourists. How things have changed,” Nocerino marvels, recalling how he spent more than 10 of his 43 years serving prison

terms for drug-related offenses. Nocerino and his fellow guides roam tourist-filled areas, like the historic center of Naples or its port, wearing bright yellow vests identifying them, in somewhat mangled English, as “Operator for the Urban Tourist Assistance.” Some speak basic English and Spanish but most use Italians’ expressive hand gestures to get the message across. They walk around in groups accompanied by a supervisor, usually a private security guard, who knows them and reports on their performance. Their job can include pointing the way to a monument, helping tourists negotiate a cab fare or walking them to a specific pizzeria or a pastry shop. The service is free and tips are not encouraged. Giovanni Aspride, a 53-year-old former counterfeiter, said he and his colleagues usually wait for tourists to approach them, though they may come forward if somebody seems desperately lost or to tell a visitor to remove a gold watch or tuck a wallet in a safer pocket. Though their criminal record does not have to be revealed, the

Embryo personhood initiatives spread by Kristen Wyatt
The Associated Press PUEBLO, Colo. — There’s nothing subtle about the sales pitch by abortion opponents who are gathering signatures at the Colorado State Fair for a ballot measure that would give legal rights to fertilized embryos. “Would you like to sign a petition to stop abortion?” asks Keith Mason, head of suburban Denver’s Personhood USA. During the two-week fair, Mason and a corps of volunteers gathered thousands of signatures to have Colorado’s constitution define personhood from “the beginning of biological development of a human being.” “I think that people are people from the time they are conceived, and they should be treated as such,”
said Pat Kraus of La Junta, 61, who signed the petition at a booth under a “LIFE COUNTS” banner. Personhood USA is similar to anti-abortion campaigns before it, but it’s taking a bolder approach. It wants to end all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest, by adding fertilized embryos to constitutional and legal definitions of humans. Colorado last year became the first state where a “personhood” amendment made the ballot — but it was soundly defeated by 73 percent of voters. This year, proposed laws were rejected in the state legislatures of Montana and North Dakota. Still, the movement is spreading. Amendment language has been cleared, with petition drives under way, in Colorado, Mississippi, Mon-
tana and Nevada. Amendment language will be filed later this month in California and Florida. Personhood USA says it has chapters in 29 states working to get “personhood” measures placed on 2010 ballots or before state legislatures. Mason says the approach is catching on with abortion opponents tired of incremental efforts against abortion. As was the case last year in Colorado, the “personhood” attempts will likely fail, Mason says, but at least they get right to the point of whether unborn children should have legal rights. “We’re taking a stand and waiting for the culture to change around us. Instead of saying, ‘What can we get?’ we’re saying, ‘What do we believe and what do we need to do?’”

The reason you use a trailing average is to smooth out some of the short turns and ups and downs of the market.” Stropp said the recession has caused many institutions the size of UNM to lengthen their payout period. The Foundation constantly reevaluates the averages in order to give the University a stable increase each year. Paying out on a trailing average is a way that institutions like the Foundation secure their own budget, he said.
Axelrod
DA: We want everyone who is willing to work with us on this — Democrats and Republicans — and we will work towards that. President Obama has probably spent more time talking to people in both parties than any president has on any major issue in recent times. I also think at the end of the day, this is not just a matter of process: It is a matter of progress. It is enormously important that we get something done, and we will get it done. We will do what the situation requires. R: What was the message

“Some institutions use a moving 12-quarter average and many are moving to a 5-year or 20-quarter average to smooth this thing out even more and so you catch the better quarters over the long term on either side,” Stropp said. “We’re looking at all the opportunities that are available to us.” Zack said the Foundation is paying careful attention to how their endowments and gifts are being allocated and invested. Preparation for a public campaign for more
donations next year depends on the stability of this year’s success. “We are actively watching our investments,” Zack said. “It’s a twofold mission — one, to fundraise, and two, to make sure we are investing properly and administering properly. We actually had a little return versus our peers, and we’re doing better, but that’s because we do actively watch our portfolio. We consider that a high responsibilty to the University. You can’t be passive with that stuff.”
President Obama wanted to leave on the public option? DA: The message is that he believes it is important. He thinks it will be a valuable tool in terms of creating competition and choice within the insurance exchange. But, it is one piece of the puzzle. It is a means to an end, and we should not forget what the end is. The end is to bring stability and security to people who have insurance by bringing in serious meaningful insurance reforms and to help those who do not have insurance get insurance they can afford, (and) to bring down the cost of the whole system so it is sustainable. These are the objectives we have to achieve, and there are many elements to it and many ways to achieve it. We shouldn’t turn this into a partisan ideological fight over one aspect of it and lose our
opportunity to make great progress. R: What kind of obstacles are there going to be to get this passed by Congress — what does the president have to do to get this moving? DA: I think there is a great deal of progress being made even as we are standing here. We have had a long and vigorous debate. That is appropriate for an issue of this importance and complexity. It has been a good and healthy debate in many ways, and in some ways not. All the ideas are out on the table now, and we need to pull the strands together and finish the job. I am optimistic — I think we are going to get this done. ~Leah Valencia Editor’s note: Daily Lobo reporter Leah Valencia was one of several reporters questioning Axelrod after the address in Washington, D.C.

300 beds short and we are short in every area of health care.” The clinic is expected to run a net loss for UNM every year after it’s built, but the Regents said the public service it will provide is more valuable than the money lost. Committee Vice Chair Jamie Koch said UNM Hospital has to be careful to balance its commitments to the public with its need for funding. “We’re not a profit hospital,” he said. “But we’re not funded as a public hospital. The public kind of thinks we are.” He said UNM has to take into

The committee also designated $856,000 to build additions to the orthopedic clinic on the first floor of UNM Hospital. The Student Family Housing Units on south campus will also be renovated.

building that housed the laboratory where she worked. Surveillance video shows her arriving around 10 a.m., but police had been baffled since the investigation began because there was no video of Le leaving, despite some 75 surveillance cameras operating around the complex. Her ID, money, credit cards and purse were found in her office. More than 100 local, state and federal police had been searching the building for days, using blueprints to uncover any place where evidence or Le’s body could be hidden. Investigators on Saturday said they recovered evidence from the building, but would not confirm media reports that the items included bloody clothing. On Sunday morning, a state police van drove down a ramp into
the basement area of the building where the lab is located. Authorities also sifted through garbage at a Hartford incinerator Sunday, looking through trash that was taken from the building in the days since Le went missing. Le, a pharmacology student from Placerville, Calif., wrote a magazine article earlier this year about how to stay safe around the Ivy League campus. The article, titled “Crime and Safety in New Haven,” was published in February in a magazine produced by Yale’s medical school. It compares higher instances of robbery in New Haven with cities that house other Ivy League schools and includes an interview with Yale Police Chief James Perrotti, who offers advice such as “pay attention to where you are” and “avoid portraying yourself as a potential victim.”

Dallas Cowboys beat Tampa Bay in opener by Fred Goodall
The Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys are off to a good start without Terrell Owens. Romo threw for 353 yards and three long touchdowns Sunday, helping the Cowboys begin the post-T.O. era with a 34-21 victory that ruined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ debut under coach Raheem Morris. Miles Austin avoided two tacklers on the sideline to score on a 42yard reception just before halftime, and Roy Williams streaked through a mistake-prone secondary on a 66-yard touchdown play early in the third quarter. Romo teamed with Patrick Crayton, who had six catches for 135 yards, on the longest completion of the Pro Bowl quarterback’s career — 80 yards — for a fourth-quarter touchdown that thwarted any realistic hopes for a Tampa Bay comeback. Byron Leftwich completed 25 of 41 passes for 276 yards and no interceptions but took a beating from a relentless pass rush once Romo put the Cowboys in control. Cadillac Williams and Derrick Ward each scored on 1-yard runs for the Bucs, who rushed for 174 yards but eventually had to abandon the running game. Cadillac Williams, back after having surgery twice in 15 months, finished with 97 yards on 13 carries. Ward was the catalyst on a long second-half drive that briefly put the
Bucs back in the game. Both teams are coming off seasons that ended with December collapses that cost them playoffs berths. The Cowboys lost three of four down the stretch to finish 9-7, and the Bucs lost four straight after a 9-3 start and fired coach Jon Gruden, replacing him with Morris. Dallas’ biggest offseason move was getting rid of Owens and making Roy Williams the lead receiver, a role he’s excited about after spending the first 5 and a half years of his career in Detroit and struggling in Owens’ shadow after being obtained from the Lions at the trade deadline last season. Romo completed his first two passes to the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Williams, but the duo remained relatively quiet until the receiver’s big third-quarter catch put the Cowboys up 20-7. Williams went in motion on the play, turned upfield, ran past safety Sabby Piscitelli and made the catch splitting two defenders. Cornerback Ronde Barber dived and got a hand on Williams but couldn’t make the tackle. Leftwich wasn’t sacked at all by a defense led by DeMarcus Ware; however, he did take several hard shots in the fourth quarter. The seventh-year pro led an 11-play, 84yard drive that Ward capped with his touchdown, which trimmed Tampa Bay’s deficit to 20-14 with 13:45 remaining in the game.

The Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Michael Jordan’s thank-you list went well beyond friends and family. There was the coach who cut him. The player who dissed him. The media who doubted him. Anyone who ever provided Jordan with motivation to become a better player — perhaps the greatest one ever. Jordan recalled all of it Friday night, when he joined David Robinson and John Stockton, a pair of his 1992 Dream Team teammates, and coaches Jerry Sloan and C. Vivian Stringer in a distinguished class enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. “The game of basketball has been everything to me,” Jordan said. Jordan insisted during a press conference that the weekend wasn’t just about him, but he was clearly the star before a crowd that included former teammates Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. “He makes one big shot and everybody thinks he’s kind of cool,” Stockton joked. “I don’t get it.”
Jordan cried before beginning his acceptance speech, then entertained the crowd with memories of any slights that inspired him to get to basketball’s birthplace: — The coach who cut him from the varsity team as a North Carolina schoolboy. “I wanted to make sure you understood: You made a mistake, dude.” — Isiah Thomas, who allegedly orchestrated a “freezeout” of Jordan in his first All-Star game. “I wanted to prove to you, Magic (Johnson), Larry (Bird), George (Gervin), everybody that I deserved (to be there) just as much as anybody else, and I hope over the period of my career I’ve done that without a doubt.” — Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy — Jordan called him Pat Riley’s “little guy” — accused Jordan of “conning” players by acting friendly toward them, then attacking them in games. “I just so happen to be a friendly guy. I get along with everybody, but at the same time, when the light

Goalless overtime draw prolongs perfect record by Loretta Cardenas Daily Lobo
The record-shattering UNM women’s soccer team’s historic ride continues. UNM remains UNM 0 perfect at 6-0-1 and has tied the Tulsa 0 school record for most matches without a loss after battling Tulsa to a tie at the UNM Soccer Complex on Sunday. The Lobos played through two tough overtimes, but in the end neither team could find the back of the net. Lobo goalkeeper Kelli Cornell did her part to keep the game scoreless, quickly nabbing the Golden Hurricane’s only shot on goal. “This is why we recruited (Cornell),” head coach Kit Vela said. “She is every bit as good as we thought she would be. We just gave her a year to develop.” UNM didn’t capitalize, despite outshooting Tulsa 27-4 and earning three more corner kicks. Cornell, recording her sixth

shutout of the season, is quickly becoming the backbone of the Lobos, Vela said. The redshirt freshman hasn’t allowed a goal in 294 minutes. “Kelli has superseded anybody’s expectations,” forward Alexis Ball said. “She is a really solid keeper, and I feel very confident knowing that she’s behind us.” UNM’s best opportunity to score came in the 83rd minute of regulation, when Ball received a pass into the middle of the field and took a shot toward the net, but a diving stop by Katie Bykowski kept it from going in. “This is a cruel sport,” Vela said. “It doesn’t matter how many shots you take if you’re not getting it behind the back of the net. We have scorers, but when the other team is putting nine players behind the ball, it’s going to be tough for anybody.” Ball said the Lobos can’t get complacent, even though they’ve had success early on in the season. “We need to continue finding our consistency,” she said. “We got a little too relaxed, but we need to just keep our focus through the final third of the game.”

per carry, and his longest rush was an 11-yard scamper against Texas A&M last week. Of course, the nonexistent running attack is a drop in the ocean of the Lobos’ failings — costly turnovers, unreliable passing, reliable threeand-outs — but let’s just focus on the rushing game. Is all lost if UNM can’t get it together on the ground? Not necessarily. Legendary Lobo back DonTrell Moore had a sluggish start to his freshman campaign, notching zero yards in his first two games. He then went on to score 13 touchdowns that season, averaging 111 yards in the final 10 games and helping the Lobos clinch their second bowl bid in 41 years. Moore ran for 1,117 yards that year, setting the UNM freshman rushing record. Similar story for Ferguson: The recently-cut running back had a quiet freshman season backing up Moore, and when he returned from injury in 2006, his first few games found him and a sluggish Lobo offense struggling for wins. Then came his 162yard explosion against UTEP in week 4, after which he never looked back. Ferguson chipped in 1,234 yards that year, enough to lead the Mountain West Conference, and he finished his

With Saturday’s loss, Locksley becomes just the fourth first-year UNM coach to lose his home opener. And his losing brethren don’t make for good company: Rudy Feldman and Mike Sheppard went on to lose every game of their first seasons. But the past, of course, doesn’t dictate the future. Locksley’s not doomed to a failed season. However, by that same token, Dennis and the Lobos’ running attack aren’t fated to turn it all around. Instead, the Lobos have another disappointment under their belts, and, on Saturday against Air Force, another chance to prove that Locksley’s remodeling job won’t dig up the foundation.

comes on, I’m as competitive as anybody you know,� Jordan said. — The media who said Jordan, though a great player, would never win like Bird or Johnson. “I had to listen to all that, and that put so much wood on that fire that it kept me each and every day trying to get better as a basketball player.� — Lastly, Utah’s Bryon Russell. Jordan recalled meeting Russell while he was retired and playing minor league baseball in 1994 — and with Sloan looking on in horror — told of how Russell insisted he could have covered him if Jordan was still playing. Russell later got two cracks at Jordan in the NBA finals, and he was the defender when Jordan hit the clinching shot to win the 1998 title. “From this day forward, if I ever see him in shorts, I’m coming at him.� The enshrinement ceremony
took place at Springfield’s Symphony Hall, because Jordan was too big for the Hall of Fame. The move to the other building allowed for a crowd of about 2,600, more than double what the Hall can accommodate. Robinson was enshrined first on Friday before a large San Antonio contingent, which included teammates Tim Duncan and Avery Johnson, and coaches Larry Brown and Gregg Popovich. Stockton told the Spurs that his running mate, Karl Malone, was the best power forward, not Duncan. Stringer, the first coach to lead three different teams to the Final Four, still couldn’t believe a coal miner’s daughter had made it, calling it the “most unusual, unexpected thing in the world.� She thanked her players — “basketball daughters� — and praised her 2007 Rutgers team for the class and dignity it showed after the racially insensitive comments made by Don Imus.

The injury-plagued UNM volleyball team managed a runner-up finish at the Lobo Challenge this weekend. UNM 3 After sweeping Cal State 1 Pitt. Fullerton on Friday — 2519, 25-17, 25-22 — the Lobos were handed their first loss of the season Friday at the hands of Baylor in a hard-fought 3-2 thriller. On Saturday, UNM recovered with a 3-1 victory against Pittsburgh. The Lobos are now 7-1 for the season. While UNM wasn’t particularly happy about settling for second place — and in its own tournament, no less — head coach Jeff Nelson said he was pleased with his team’s perseverance. “Did we have a great weekend? No, not the greatest. But I would say we had a good weekend,� he said. “We would have liked to win all three matches, obviously. But considering we fought through being tired and all the injuries, I’m glad we were able to get two out of three.� The Lobos entered the weekend with a few battle scars. Freshman defensive specialist Melissa Rohr missed out on Friday’s matches with a concussion she sustained diving for a ball during practice. Senior middle hitter Anna Lehne also missed two days of practice last week with flu-like symptoms. Then, at 22-22 in the fourth set against Pittsburgh, senior outside hitter Rose Morris suffered a nasty finger injury while attempting
a block. Morris’ right pinky finger was dislocated with a possible compound fracture as the bone broke through the skin. The match was delayed 20 minutes to clean up the blood. “We were all kind of stunned,� junior outside hitter Taylor Hadfield said. “We knew we had to stay in the match and not let it get into our heads, so we just focused and decided that we’d finish the match for Rose.� The Lobos buckled down and rallied behind three kills by Hadfield and a Pittsburgh attack error for the 26-24 win. “I really liked the way we pulled together as a team,� Nelson said. “Finger injuries like that actually happen a lot. It’s just unfortunate to see because Rose was playing incredible volleyball, but we have a number of players ready to go off the bench.� Hadfield finished the match with a .504 hitting percentage and a career-high 16 kills. Other career-high performances on the weekend included Morris’ 20 kills and sophomore libero Allison Buck’s 23 digs, both coming in Saturday’s match against Baylor. “It’s great that we have people stepping up for us,� said junior setter Jade Michaelsen, who along with Morris was named to the alltournament team. “When we have people who are hurt and when we have people who are sick, it’s good to know that we have a number of people who can come in and get the job done.� However, there’s little time for rest and recuperation, as UNM has a busy week ahead.

fourth quarter rolled around, only the few and the proud endured the whipping wind and watched the final seconds tick off the clock. “The energy was there in the stadium for at least a half, until right around after halftime when they went and scored on us,” Locksley said, “I thought our fans hung in there with us.” During the week leading up to the Lobos’ home opener with Tulsa, Locksley invoked the old saw that “it takes a village to raise a child.” Perhaps, but if the village doesn’t approve of the way you’re rearing the child, trust that they will turn on you. Two games into the season, Locksley’s head coach rating is about as mixed as Planter’s Nuts, with some anxiously waiting to break out the “Bring Rocky Back” banners, others encouraging impatient fans not to jump the gun. Nancy Dugger, who attended UNM from 1975 to 1976 and donates to the athletics department, said fans are too pessimistic, regardless of who dons the headset and roams the sidelines. “You have to give (Locksley) three years until he gets his style of player in,” she said. “Nothing against these kids, but we don’t get blue chippers here. Just once in a while you get a diamond in the rough.” Others aren’t as sympathetic to the new coach’s plight. Ed Grisko, 80, has been coming to Lobo games for almost 50 years. At the very least, Grisko said, Locksley should have basic game-management skills. “I don’t agree with the way he’s calling his plays,” he said. “They’re going shotgun with (2) yards to go. That’s not a very good decision. He should know that stuff.” Grisko added that he’s still waiting for the scoreboard to light up, too. “I don’t agree with him keeping
Touchdowns
in the quarterback with the way he’s performing so far,” he said. “I think I could do better than him. Send me in, coach. It’s (been) two games and they haven’t even got an offensive touchdown.” Wide receiver Daryl Jones urged fans not to jump off the bandwagon just yet, even though it appears both axles are broken. “Don’t go to sleep on us just because these two first games were rough,” he said. Sandpaper’s rough. How the Lobos have lost their first two games of the season has been unsightly, getting outscored 85-16 and looking more like a Pop Warner team than a Division I college team. Lobo offensive lineman Erik Cook said that if he were in those fans’ shoes, he probably wouldn’t want to keep watching either. “When your home team is getting beat 44-10, you’re not going to want to stay,” he said. At the same time, Cook said it wouldn’t hurt if fans followed the team more religiously. “You look at some big-time programs and their fans stay no matter what,” he said. But Jones said it’s not about giving preachy sermons to this congregation of Lobo fans. It’s simply about winning, or, if nothing else, being competitive. “We just have to come out and please the fans,” he said. “They want to see an exciting offense. It’s all on us. Hopefully we can pull off a winning season.” Dugger said she doesn’t know if winning would help rectify the problem. “This has been Lobo football my whole life,” she said. “If we’re losing like this, people leave. The fans that are here are your true football fans. Football will never (be big) because of basketball. This is a basketball town. (Locksley) has everything against him.”
Locksley apparently isn’t as jaded. “I think the diehards will be there,” Locksley said. “This is the first phase of a renovation. I still have the utmost confidence in the players and coaches in that locker room.” But does everybody else? Maybe it doesn’t take a village to raise a child. Just a family. Undoubtedly, the Lobos’ locker-room bond will be tested mightily in the upcoming weeks.

where we thought we could get some good matchups out of it.” The team put together an 11play, 56-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter and two 70plus yard touchdown drives in the third, all led by Tulsa sophomore
quarterback G.J. Klinne. He completed 22-of-35 passes for 310 yards and four touchdowns. Even Tulsa backup quarterback Jacob Bowler threw a touchdown against the Lobos in the fourth quarter.

Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Tulsa quarterback Shavodrick Beaver eludes UNM defenders Kendall Briscoe, left, and cornerback DeShawn Mills in Tulsa’s 44-10 stomping of the Lobos on Saturday at University Stadium.
Touchdowns elude offense once again by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
The UNM football team has yet to score an offensive touchdown after their 44-10 loss at the hands of Tulsa on Saturday at University Stadium. “It’s been a Tulsa 40 long time since I went two games UNM 10 without scoring a touchdown,” head coach Mike Locksley said. “I think the ineffectiveness of the run game (was a factor) again. I’m used to being able to run the football. We have to find a way to manufacture big plays.”
So far, the Lobos’ only touchdown two games into the season came from the legs of outside linebacker Tray Hardaway, who scooped up a fumble and steamed 92 yards to the end zone about one minute into the fourth quarter. Only about half of the 30,051 Lobo fans who went to the game remained in the stands to witness the touchdown. By that time, it wasn’t enough to stop the Lobo hemorrhaging, because they trailed 30-10. If it’s any consolation to Locksley and his Lobos, Tulsa head coach Todd Graham said UNM’s defense play was solid — for at least half the game. “They did better than I thought
they would,” he said. In one play, the Lobos’ defense nearly matched the 171 yards the offense totaled. The offense, on the other hand, littered the field with missed opportunities. They were 1-of-15 on thirddown conversions, 1-for-3 on fourth down and fumbled six times, losing the ball on three occasions. “We had opportunities to make big plays, at least in the first half, and we shot ourselves in the foot,” Locksley said. The Lobos first and only scoring drive came late in the first quarter. Donovan Porterie, who finished the game throwing 12-of-22 for 85 yards and one interception, completed a
29-yard pass to wide receiver Nick Wilhelm, pushing the Lobos to midfield. Then, a 19-yard reverse to Daryl Jones set up a 48-yard field goal by James Aho, making it 7-3. Aho, the only offensive player to score, is 3-for-3 on field goals this season. If the bane of UNM’s offense was missed opportunity, then the Golden Hurricane’s success sprang from seized chances. Lobo turnovers and a failed fourth-down conversion set up Tulsa with the ball inside UNM territory, and three times the Golden Hurricane found the end zone in less than a minute. The first Lobo fumble came off a
Frankie Solomon punt return in the first quarter. The Golden Hurricane recovered on the Lobo 16. Four plays later, Tulsa capped the drive with a touchdown. Tulsa got a pair of touchdowns after starting its last two drives from the Lobos’ 25- and 37-yard lines. The Golden Hurricane proved they could also march the length of the field, utilizing the passing game and throwing for 338 yards. “We just take whatever they give us,” Graham said. “If they were going to load it up in the box, we were going to throw the football. They gave us a lot of two-deep situations

Lobos’ historically reliable Disappointment grows, even for Lobo diehards running game tripped up COLUMN

New Mexico is a grand whine cellar. Choosing to chastise Lobo football aficionados in his scathing departing shot, former head coach Rocky Long said in not so many words that UNM football supporters were nothing more than wine-and-cheese fans. They’re just there to taste and criticize. And they wanted California grapes to grow in a New Mexico vineyard. “If you want to compete with the big boys, you better start acting like a big-time program, and that’s not just the football team or the football coaches — that’s the damn
fans,” he said during his resignation speech in December. Either first-year head coach Mike Locksley failed to take note of that when he accepted the job, or he conveniently ignored it in hopes that he could make those same lukewarm followers stay for dinner. Not on Saturday, when the Lobos got griddled 44-10 by the Golden Hurricane. About midway through the third quarter, fans made a mass exodus, flooding the aisles to get to their cars before traffic jammed. An announced crowd of 30,051 came for the Lobos’ home opener, but by the time the

Through thick and thin — and mostly thin — the Lobo football team has been able to count on one thing: the running game. From Don Perkins to Don Woods, from Winslow Oliver to Rodney Ferguson, almost every era of UNM football has had a marquee back to carry the team. So, when this year’s Lobo squad averages 38 yards on the ground and a dismal 1.6 yards per carry over its first two games, there’s some cause for concern among the UNM faithful. Even head coach Mike Locksley, who perhaps got spoiled by the dominant Rashard Mendenhall during his tenure at Illinois, is
struggling to find a remedy. “With this same style of offense (at Florida and Illinois) we led the SEC and the Big 10 in rushing,” Locksley said. “How do we get it back on track? Obviously, we’ve got to block better up front and make sure when we have opportunities, our running backs are hitting the point of attack.” True freshman Demond Dennis was recruited to “manufacture (the) big plays,” Locksley mentioned at the news conference after Saturday’s game. After Ferguson and Paul Baker graduated last year, the 5-foot-9 -inch running back turned down big-name schools like Georgia so he could play a major role in the Lobo offense. Problem is, he’s only averaging 2.4 yards
