Speaker’s fee raises eyebrows by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
Zach Gould / Daily Lobo From left: Bruce Milen, Frederico Jumbo and Shelby Spoonhoward sit and talk at the “Velvet Painting” parking space in front of the communication and journalism building on Friday. The Freshman Learning Community class “Earth Arts: People, Places & Purpose” created this and four other spaces around campus to celebrate Park(ing) Day.

Thirteen parking spaces in Albuquerque became miniature parks Friday as part of nationally recognized Park(ing) Day. Park(ing) Day was first celebrated in 2005 by San Francisco art collective Rebar. According to their Web site, the group came up with the idea of turning a public parking space into a public park as an artistic statement on how space as a public resource is used. The idea struck a chord with members of the UNM Society of Landscape Architecture Students and students in a Freshman Learning Community class, “Earth Arts: People, Places & Purpose.” “One of the main ideas behind it was to sort of shift people’s views about the way they think of their current infrastructure,” said SOCLAS member Chance Munns. “A large percentage of the city is covered in things that are geared towards the vehicle. … This is sort of a way to promote public art in communal space, so it kind of shifts your idea of what a public space really is.” Munns said projects involving public parks have a lot of potential. “If we rethink how we use public space, a lot of creative things can happen,” he said. Each parking-space-turned-public-park installed by the FLC had different themes centered on heritage, student Alyssa Simmons said.

UNM is paying former Mexican president Vicente Fox $25,000 to speak on campus today, to the dismay of some students and faculty members. Fox is one of three lecturers in the Lobo Reading Experience program. Mexican authors Sam Quinones, who spoke last week, and Carlos Fuentes are the other two lecturers. University spokeswoman Susan McKinsey said in an e-mail that she didn’t know how much Quinones was paid to speak, but Fuentes will get $20,000. “People that book lectures and speakers will tell you (Fox’s speech) is a remarkably good deal,” she said. “By comparison, the current fee for author David Sedaris is $40,000. If one is to book another former president, Bill Clinton, it would cost from $100,000 to $150,000.” Graduate student Max Fitzpatrick said that he is not against Fox speaking, but he doesn’t want UNM to pay for it. Fitzpatrick said the money will go to Fox’s presidential library, El Centro Fox, which he called Fox’s attempt to get people to overlook his dishonest past. “It’s fine for UNM to invite him here, but it’s not good to use UNM’s public resources and state monies to fund his private center in Mexico,” Fitzpatrick said. “And I don’t think it’s good to demonstrate him as a poster child for democracy. He was instrumental in trying to sabotage the democratic process in 2006.” Fitzpatrick said Fox arrested Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the former mayor of Mexico City, and disqualified him for candidacy in the 2006 presidential election. Cheo Torres, vice president for Student Affairs, said Fox is a controversial figure, but his perspective on immigration is valuable in the lecture series. “If you look at the topic, dealing with immigration, it’s very appropriate to have someone dealing with
immigration of that stature to talk to UNM faculty, students and community about the future of this,” he said. Vicente Fox Speech Today 10:30 a.m. Popejoy Hall 6 p.m. Centennial Engineering Center Auditorium Pick up free tickets at the ticket office near the UNM Bookstore
The Provost’s Office issued a statement Friday that mirrored Torres’ view. “A university campus is the ideal location for the exchange of ideas,” according to the statement. “As a former president of Mexico, Fox’s perspective — while certainly controversial — is also distinctive and valuable in this ongoing discussion of immigration.” The statement also said Fox agreed to give a second lecture this evening followed by a question and answer period, which will “foster dialogue.” After his speech at Popejoy Hall, Fox will make another public address at the Centennial Engineering Center Auditorium this evening. Torres said Fox will also go to the Health Sciences Center to give a speech to health care professionals requesting collaboration in health care and help for Mexican cancer patients. Howard Waitzkin, a sociology professor, wrote an open letter against the speech and sent it to UNM President David Schmidly. Several other professors and graduate students signed the letter against Fox’s visit. Waitzkin said the funds diverted to Fox should be used in helping students attend UNM, especially during the recession. “Just yesterday, one of us talked with an educator from the Taos Pueblo who has obtained her master’s degree and wants to pursue a Ph.D. in education at UNM but can’t afford to do so,” Waitzkin said in the letter. “The honorarium given to Vicente Fox could fund a fellowship for her to complete about one year of progress for her doctorate. What a shame that precious resources are diverted from
$14.5 mil flows to biological research by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
National researchers and UNM students are teaming up to conduct interdisciplinary experiments that could advance the field of biology and improve your life. The National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a branch of the National Institutes of Health, gave UNM, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories a $14.5 million grant for interdisciplinary research, said Bridget Wilson, co-director of the Center for Systems Biology.

Wilson said that thanks to the grant, more than 50 biologists, mathematicians and engineers will participate in projects at the center focusing on a wide variety of projects, including creating microscopic robots, over the next five years. “If you break it down to its parts, it has scientific goals, recruiting goals, training goals and outreach goals,” she said. “Our job is to try to accomplish all those things in five years and to also interact with the other national systems-biology centers.” The center is recruiting UNM students to be part of the research
team. “The students will come from both the Health Sciences campus and the main campus,” Wilson said. “So, one of my goals in the fall is to talk to graduate students … We’re interested in recruiting students who want to think about mathematical modeling of biological processes.” Jeremy Edwards is a member of the center’s biology team and an associate professor of molecular genetics and microbiology. Edwards said the center uses computer models to simulate biological phenomena that can’t be seen with a

microscope. He said this is an interdisciplinary approach to a complex problem. “That’s what systems biology is about, is bringing people to do these two things together,” he said. “We generally have a hypothesis they can’t test, so we can test the feasibility of these things by using modeling and mathematical formulations. So together, we can try to move forward.” In a press release, Center for Systems Biology Director Janet Oliver said the center’s diverse team will bring together many disciplines to solve complex problems related to health. “Together, we expect to develop the new tools needed to understand the dynamic biochemical and spatial events that control the behavior of immune and cancer cells,” she said. Wilson said the center will also study allergic reactions. “We focus on fundamental receptor biology,” she said. “And one of our favorite model systems is in fact
Park(ing)
a massed cell, which is responsible for allergic reactions in people.” Wilson said that by focusing on the fundamental inner workings of a cell, the center’s researchers will gain knowledge that applies across medical fields. In addition, researchers will try to develop new technology for future experiments, Wilson said. “One contribution of the Sandia National Laboratory group to the center will be to design and build very small devices that are called ‘microfluidic devices,’” she said. “When used in combination with a high-resolution microscope, they will allow us to measure cellular events in a really fast and accurate way.” Wilson said Albuquerque’s location in the heart of New Mexico near the two laboratories, along with the presence of the state’s largest university, will be beneficial to the center. “I think it’s an honor and a privilege to conduct research of this quality here in Albuquerque,” she said.

“We had (the UNM community) interact by putting pushpins of where they were from,” she said. “We also had people trace their hands and put their name inside of it and where they were from.” Another “public park” on Las Lomas Road promoted reading, offering passersby a seat and a book. One group set up a miniature home in their parking space, offering people the chance to sit and enjoy chips, salsa and candy. Student Candace Montoya said this group took its inspiration from the Lobo Reading Experience book
“Antonio’s Gun and Delfino’s Dream” by Sam Quinones. “Delfino didn’t have a home, so that’s why we decided to provide the community with a home … to provide the community with comfort,” she said. Munns said the community responded positively to Park(ing) Day and he will try to make it an annual event on campus. “We’ve had a lot of people stop by,” he said. “Some of the groups had sign-up sheets for their event, and I saw some that were three or four pages thick.”

LETTER Sniffers and huffers deserve own designated-use areas Editor, Student and faculty glue-sniffers and paint-huffers have just as many rights as the smokers. Now, personally, I’m neither sniffer nor huffer, but I support their God-given right to pursue their addiction, no matter what the consequences. We here at UNM care a lot about the inalienable rights of the few to make as many people as sick as possible. I know, I know: What about the complainers with their little precancerous coughs and interminable headaches — those who have to pass by the huffers? All this moaning and whining about health has nothing to do with the constitutional right of the few to kill the many. If smokers have their own places, huffers and sniffers should have a place as well, and there is nowhere more suitable for glue-sniffing and paint-huffing than the “Center of the Universe” sculpture over by Ortega Hall. If you happen to run into a sniffer or huffer practicing his or her addiction on Smith Plaza, you can politely say, “Excuse me, good sir, but UNM is a non-huffing campus. If you want to sniff or huff, you will have to take your paint can to the ‘Center of the Universe,’ which is a designated huffing area. Thank you for your kind concern.” I have approached several huffers and sniffers with my mild request, just as I have been urged to do by the Campus Huffing Committee, and I’ve had my teeth busted out of my head only a few times. I’ve complained to campus police but they just say, “It’s not in our jurisdiction.” I’ve complained to the information desk in the SUB, and they say, “Take it to the police.” It’s enough to drive a poor fellow to sniff glue or stick one’s head in a can of paint out of desperation.

Increase in surveillance could reduce campus violence at a cost by Adelin Grema UWire
Most people think college campuses across the U.S. are generally safe. Although relatively minor cases of theft or assault are common across campuses, it is not every day that we hear about atrocious crimes in universities. Tragedies like the shootings that happened at Virginia Tech in 2007 are statistical outliers. That is why I was shocked, saddened and repulsed when I heard about the most recent instance of campus crime at Yale University. Annie Le, a graduate student studying pharmacology who went missing Sept. 8, was last seen entering a lab building. Her body was found six days later, the day she was to be married, shoved inside a wall of that building. From what the news stories have reported so far, campus security could not have done much to prevent the incident, since they could not have predicted the crime. Le had never filed any complaints. According to the New York Times, Chief James Lewis of the New Haven police said investigators “had taken about 150 items from the crime scene with potential DNA evidence they could compare … (and) had interviewed 150 people and watched 700 hours of surveillance video from cameras in and around the building where the body of Ms. Le
was found.” I couldn’t help but wonder: Wouldn’t the search for the person who murdered this woman be over by now if there had been cameras inside the building? But this reminded me of being in high school again, where metal detectors welcomed you every morning and hundreds of cameras followed you around like you were on a reality TV show. It seems that the sense of adulthood and trustworthiness that we gain when we start our college careers would somehow be in jeopardy if we were to be treated like we were treated when we were 15 years old. But maybe it’s necessary after all. Are we willing to be treated like children for the sake of security? We are already followed by cameras almost everywhere else we go. Streets, schools, government buildings and businesses like banks, restaurants and movie theaters record us constantly. What difference would it make if college campuses started using the same methods to achieve safety? Campus crime seems to be more of an issue than most think it is. Just in the last month, a woman was shot and killed on the University of California, Irvine campus, a Tennessee State University research worker was stabbed multiple times and beaten to death, and three

people were shot at Florida A&M University after a football game. Although each of these incidents is probably isolated and rare for the specific campuses, acts like these seem to be far too common when aggregated. The U.S. Department of Education published new proposed regulations Wednesday morning that would overhaul the methods used at universities for reporting and dealing with crimes on campus. Although standardizing reporting and investigating procedures would be a step toward clearing the way for a more efficient and safe process, is this really going to stop crime? Will it make it easier to catch the perpetrators? Although upping campus surveillance doesn’t seem like it should really offend anyone, considering that we are videotaped almost everywhere else, I’m not sure that kind of change would garner a lot of support. But if brutal and inhumane acts continue to occur on college campuses around the country, I’m afraid that law enforcement agencies, the community and the students will have no other option but to accept that another part of their lives will be captured on camera for the safety of their peers.

Tot’s photos reveal child’s-eye view by Michael Johnson The Associated Press
TULAROSA, N.M. — Kaleb Kusmak is your average 3-yearold boy who likes normal toddler activities. He plays with toys, attends preschool and works with his mother and father in their pistachio orchard, as well as a community garden near their home in Tularosa. Oh, and he likes to take photographs — and he shows much skill. The boy earned two thirdplace ribbons for a pair of entries in last month’s Otero County Fair
Malaria
photography contest. “He has an abstract eye,” said Kaleb’s father, Adam Kusmak. “He’s got a real talent for photography.” Said his mother, Danielle: “He’s better than us because he does everything on a smaller scale than we do. We think broad and big, at least I do, when I take pictures. I look for special items, whereas Kaleb takes a picture of the top of a fence post and it makes him happy.” Kaleb’s two third-place winners were taken at a playground in High Rolls. One is a close-up of a piece of
playground equipment. The other shows a basketball hoop from a 3-year-old’s perspective against a partly cloudy sky. So what prompted Kaleb to enter his photos in the fair contest? “I asked him, when we were at the playground in High Rolls, ‘Do you want to enter these photos in the fair like momma does?’ He said yes,” Adam recalled. Kaleb worked with a relatively simple and inexpensive pointand-shoot digital camera. He started using it after his parents bought a new camera, but Kaleb also owns a Fisher-Price toy camera.
getting the right kind of medication before I even left. Throughout my time in Ghana, I stuck to that regimen of taking one pill a day to prevent malaria and used mosquito repellent all the time. I still ended up contracting malaria towards the end of my stay, so that shows you just how dangerous it can be. You can take all the necessary precautions and still end up with a disease. I just remember the last few nights I was there — I’d spend the whole night shivering and started aching. … I’m not going to say that if I hadn’t contracted malaria, I wouldn’t care about malaria, but it definitely put a whole new spin on my perspective. I work in a research lab, so what I often do is try to put myself in the perspective of people suffering from these diseases. At the end of the day, until you actually have a disease, lose a loved one, or know a loved one affected by some disease, then it’s hard to understand how terrible of a toll such problems can have on personal and family lifestyles. DL: What would you tell people who say, “Malaria doesn’t affect us here so I don’t really care about it”?
AF: I think we tend to hear that a whole lot more than anyone would like. That goes back to the well-being of other nations in this increasingly global society. One nation can definitely impact what’s going on in ours and other nations. For instance, the Western world has pumped in tens of trillions of dollars over the last 50 years in trying to solve health disparities, but if you take a look around the world right now, you still see families that don’t have access to $5 mosquito nets. You see children and mothers dying from the complications of childbirth. You see people who are going blind or dying just because they lack access to medications that cost pennies on the dollar. It’s our duty, where we are in this day and age, technology-wise. I guess it’s also a conscience thing. We can and we definitely do need to change this. It’s everyone’s responsibility to make these kinds of changes, and it’s terrible to think that a million children will be dying because they don’t have access to these drugs.

and families’ lives — just being able to mingle and find out about the success of some of these programs and how they can be approved. One of the main things is to have the student who wins the contest convey what they learned and what they saw in Kenya to the rest of the world, whether that be through writing, blogs, pictures or videos. I think that the primary goal of the whole contest is to raise awareness. I think 20,000 people have already voted and there are probably 20,000 more people who didn’t know about the toll malaria can have in the first place. That’s my primary goal and the goal of the other nine finalists — just to raise awareness about this terrible disease and hopefully learn something in the process about how our fight against malaria can be enhanced. DL: What was it like to experience malaria firsthand, and what kinds of symptoms did you experience during that time? AF: I actually had it lucky. I’m not sure if getting malaria is lucky, but both my parents are physicians, so they definitely helped me out in

Scoring starts early in 3-0 win against Gonzaga by Nathan Farmer

Daily Lobo
The UNM men’s soccer team capped a good weekend with a convincing 3-0 win over Gonzaga University on Sunday at the UNM Soccer Complex. The Lobos improved to 4-2 overall for the season. “It was an all-around great performance,” said head coach Jeremy Fishbein. “It will really help us, because we have four tough games coming up.” The Lobos started the scoring early on, in the 19th minute, after freshman Patrick Pacheco hammered home a perfectly placed left-footed shot. This was his first career goal as a starter for the Lobos. “Fishbein told me to run at players if they are backing up,” Pacheco said. “I just did a step over and saw the goalie

It was Green’s first goal of the season to go along with three assists so far this

Kaeding to make it 28-26. “They pressure down there so you’re trying to sort things out of how to block,” Rivers said. They brought as many as they could bring on some of them. I think it was more a lack of execution than anything and those delays that killed us.” Baltimore’s Steve Hauschka kicked a 33-yarder with 2:54 left. In the third quarter, Rivers was under pressure from Lewis at the Chargers 34, was turned sideways and blindly tried to throw the ball away. Safety Dawan Landry intercepted and pitched it to Ed Reed for a short return to the 22. Four plays later, Flacco threw a 9-yard TD pass to tight end Todd Heap for a 28-16 lead. Rivers came back and found Jackson behind double coverage for a 35-yard touchdown pass on thirdand-18 to pull the Chargers to 28-22 with 2:26 left in the third quarter. The Ravens forgot to cover Sproles on San Diego’s second possession of the game and he turned a swing pass from Rivers into an 81-yard touchdown for a 7-0 lead. Sproles raced down the right sideline before cutting inside and beating Reed to the end zone. Sproles had 278 all-purpose yards.

running back LaDainian Tomlinson, center Nick Hardwick and right guard Louis Vasquez due to injuries, and on Saturday put defensive tackle Jamal Williams on injured reserve, meaning his season is over. Baltimore’s Joe Flacco threw two touchdown passes and Willis McGahee ran for two more. The killers for the Chargers were their inability to score touchdowns and a bad decision by Rivers. The Chargers got to the Ravens 5, 2 and 1 in the first half, and had to settle for field goals by Kaeding each time. Trailing 21-13, the Chargers got to the 1-yard line on a 24-yard pass from Rivers to Vincent Jackson. The play was upheld by replay, and the Chargers were called for delay of game. Rivers threw two incompletions, and coach Norv Turner’s decision to kick on third down with 10 seconds left drew plenty of boos. Kaeding made the 23-yarder to pull to 21-16. He also had kicks of 29 and 22 yards. It happened again midway through the fourth quarter, after Flacco was hit by Shawne Merriman and intercepted by Antoine Cason. The Chargers moved to the Ravens 10, bogged down — including another delay penalty — and got a 25-yard field goal from

SAN DIEGO — Ray Lewis took a chance, and what a chance it was. The star linebacker shot the gap and met Darren Sproles head-on on fourth-and-two in the closing seconds, with brute strength winning out over speed and shiftiness. A game that seemingly was going to be decided by Philip Rivers instead was sealed by Lewis, whose big play saved a 31-26 win for the Baltimore Ravens over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. “That was probably one of the greatest plays of my career, because of my team, because of what we did as a team,” said Lewis, a former Super Bowl MVP, 10-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The Chargers needed a touchdown to win and had the ball on Baltimore’s 15 with 33 seconds left. Lewis came in unblocked and slammed the little running back to the ground for a 5-yard loss, and the Ravens (2-0) ran out the clock. The Chargers ran the play earlier but Lewis missed making the tackle. Knowing the consequences of letting the Chargers convert, Lewis said he needed to shoot the gap — and find the ball carrier.
“When the game was on the line, as soon as Philip dropped down, I shot and he was there. He was there, man,” Lewis said. Ravens coach John Harbaugh said the Chargers know how to win games at the end. “I guess Ray Lewis knows a little more, he knows a little better,” Harbaugh said. “He made the greatest football play I’ve ever seen.” Rivers almost single-handedly kept the short-handed Chargers (1-1) in the game, throwing for a career-high 436 yards and two touchdowns. But he also had two interceptions, and San Diego had to settle for field goals four times when it had the ball at the Ravens 10 or closer. Rivers said the Chargers ran the play they felt gave them the best chance for a first down. “You can’t keep throwing it, throwing it and throwing it — well, you can,” Rivers said. “It was a play that we didn’t execute. It’s tough to end that way.” Rivers tied Hall of Famer Dan Fouts for third-most passing yards in a game. A week after amassing a franchise-record 501 yards in a win against Kansas City, the Ravens couldn’t quite put away the Chargers. San Diego was missing
year. “Reed just played a perfect ball over the top and left me with just having to finish it,” Green said. The Lobos deposited their last goal in the 52nd minute. Some good passing down the left wing allowed defender James Urbany to tap it in. “We were focused and well prepared for this game,” Fishbein said. “It was good getting some of the young guys some minutes, too.” UNM outshot the Bulldogs 2210. Gonzaga only pressured the goal in the final minutes, but Lobo goalkeeper Justin Holmes came up with two big saves. The Lobos have won three games in a row, including Friday’s comefrom-behind win over UC Davis 2-1. Up until the 56th minute, the Lobos trailed, before Stephen Brown tied the game at 1-1. Simon Ejdemyr then won the game with a penalty kick in the 72nd minute. The Lobos’ schedule gets even harder when UNM travels to take on No. 7 University of California, Berkeley on Friday, before matching up with Stanford on Sunday. California is the fifth nationally ranked team the Lobos will face this season. “We are going to be really focused over these next few games, and we are going to play some more tough nationally ranked teams,” Fishbein said.

first quarter, the Lobos made sure that by the time the fourth quarter rolled around, University Stadium resembled the city morgue. Comparing UNM’s offense to a “flickering pilot light� during the week, Locksley added that every time it seems the Lobos are about to ignite, a wind blows in and extinguishes the fire. In other words, the first-year coach is looking for some arsonists, and instead he’s got an offensive roster full of Smokey Bear’s cousins. There’s an overwhelming body of evidence — I stopped charting the Lobos’ miscues after 25 — all pointing to the same problem: the players. With 10:53 in the first quarter, Victor James dropped the ball on a slant route for a would-be first down, bringing up third-and-nine. The Lobos, 2-of-12 on third down, couldn’t convert, leading to a 53-yard field-goal attempt by James Aho, which was blocked by Ben Garland. The Falcons took over and drove 63 yards before Jonathan Warzeka capped the march with a 9-yard run, making it 7-0 Air Force. For the past two games, UNM’s running backs looked like Geos trying to drive in muddy terrain. All they could do was spin their tires. Just as Demond Dennis appeared to turn things around on the ground for UNM, he coughed the ball up on a 14-yard dash on the Lobos’ ensuing drive. The Falcons cashed in with a field goal, 10-0. It’s the third time this season that Dennis the Menace has fumbled. As if that wasn’t enough, after two years without tossing a

touchdown pass — the equivalent of seven games factoring out those games he missed because of injury — quarterback Donovan Porterie finally threw one to the other team, airmailing a gift to Air Force’s Jon Davis, who jaunted down the sidelines for a 49-yard interception return, which gave the Falcons a 17-0 advantage. Locksley said of Porterie’s interception: “That was a bad, bad decision by Donovan.� That’s being nice. Davis, the thieving pickpocket, stood 2 yards behind the Lobos’ receiver, baiting Porterie to throw. When he did, it was pick six. Even when things clicked for the Lobos, something ghastly lurked around the shadowy corner. In Thanksgiving-come-early for UNM, the Lobo offense ended a 15-quarter scoring drought, compliments of a 43-yard touchdown run by James Wright — a reason to throw a parade among the UNM faithful. But fans didn’t even have time to cheer. On the very next play, punter Adam Miller gave away a point after bobbling the point-after snap, making it 24-6 Air Force. And that was just some of the egregious, can’t-miss mistakes. UNM also whiffed on tackles and had seven penalties called against them for 66 yards. “Again on offense, the same things reared their ugly head — the penalties, the drops, the interceptions, the fumbles, all the things that we’ve talked about (in) the last two weeks,� Locksley said. Problem is, the coaches have

made the necessary adjustments. But if players don’t execute, what can Locksley do — strap on some gear and run on the field? Legendary NFL coach Bill Parcells once said, “If you are going to cook the meal, you should at least be allowed to buy the groceries.â€? Point being: Right now, the Lobo cupboard is bare. Locksley opened the fridge looking for freshly-squeezed, name-brand Juice Williams, and instead he’s got the generic brand. To put it in the words of linebacker Carmen Messina: “It’s hard to keep our heads up. But that’s what we have to do.â€? Saying the Lobos have no confidence in themselves might not be entirely accurate. But saying that their psyche is as fragile as a snow globe seems justified. Locksley said that every time there are flurries, UNM appears to panic. “That’s probably a natural reaction of a young team — a team that isn’t weathered or hasn’t been through these battles — to look up at the score and (not) continue to play hard,â€? he said. “How do we get through it as coaches? We’ve got to continue to coach them up. I thought our coaches did a good job with the young guys. A guy like Demond having a fumble — it’s easy for him to get down on himself.â€? In a down year, a “miracle workerâ€? keeps his team upbeat. In that regard, Locksley has succeeded. As far as turning the program around, that’s still a work in progress. UNM is one of only nine 0-3 teams in Division I football. But remember, even Jesus Christ, the most heralded miracle worker in history, needed five loaves of bread and two fish before he could feed 5,000 hungry followers. What Lobo fans are asking Locksley to do is like asking Emeril Lagasse to make steak out of Spam.

getting knocked down by two Falcon defenders. “Anytime you score touchdowns with (three minutes) left, you know guys are still playing hard,” Locksley said. A lot had to go right — or wrong — for Wright to get in position to make those two touchdown runs. Wright entered Saturday’s game as the third-string running back, but because of starting tailback Demond Dennis’ misfortune of an injury, Wright got the nod on Saturday. Wright filled in for Dennis, who had 53 yards but fumbled early in the game. “All three of the backs ran well, but we can’t turn the ball over,” Locksley said. “When we do, like any other position, if we’ve got competition, we’ll make some changes there.” As a redshirt freshman last year, Wright compiled 348 yards and two touchdowns. But in Locksley’s
UNM loss
no-huddle, spread system, Wright hadn’t seemed to fit the bill of a three-dimensional, every-down back. Admittedly, Wright said he needed to improve his practice habits and pass-catching ability. Wright had a 13-yard reception on Saturday, in addition to his long runs. Locksley said Wright didn’t get discouraged even while riding the pine. “Take a guy like James Wright who was third team on the depth chart,” Locksley said. “He could have sulked, put his head down and gave up. But the last two weeks I’ve seen James work. James was rewarded with some opportunities … He took advantage of his opportunities.” And after Saturday’s performance, he has at least put his name into the running-back conversation. “I should probably get more playing time,” Wright said. “But as far as starting and doing things like that,

the ball off to Clark and fullback Jared Tew, who combined for 151 yards on 37 carries. Dietz completed two of four passes for 40 yards, including a 28yard touchdown strike to Fogler in the third quarter that put the Falcons up 37-6. While Dietz filled in well for Jefferson, Holbrook couldn’t get the job done. Early in the second quarter, Holbrook’s pass was intercepted by Davis, who returned it to the Lobo 45, setting up another touchdown drive for the Falcons, which made it 24-0. On special teams, the Lobos allowed Reggie Rembert to return two kicks for a total of 90 yards, including a 60-yard return to open the third quarter. That led to another field goal for Air Force, pushing it to 27-6. “I was a little disappointed (with the special teams),” Locksley said. “But one thing you have to take note of: We have a lot of de-
fensive starters on all of our coverage teams. And our defensive starters are playing about 85 plays a game.” The Lobos were the Falcons’ best friends, too. Turnovers and a multitude of miscues by UNM gave USAFA an average starting field position on the UNM 45-yard line. The Lobo defense was on its heels all day. The Falcon offense had three third-quarter possessions inside UNM’s 35-yard line, but the Lobo defense held USAFA to field goals on two of those drives. Defensive lineman Kendall Briscoe said fatigue is taking a toll on the defense’s energy level. “I am not trying to look (tired),” Briscoe said. “Sometimes (defensive linemen) coach (Rubin) Carter tries to pull me out, but I am kind of stubborn, and I don’t want to come out. So, I do get a little winded, but I am pretty tough. I suck up the wind and I stay in.”
that’s up to the coaches. I’m going to keep practicing hard, and I’m up for the challenge.”

Gary Alderete / Daily Lobo Lobo quarterback Donovan Porterie is wrestled to the ground by an Air Force defender in UNM’s 37-13 loss on Saturday at University Stadium. The Lobos lost by double digits for the third consecutive week.
COLUMN Air Force dominates in Wright’s performance only highlight of game Execution spite of injured starters needs to come from players by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
If a positive can be taken away from the Lobo football team’s 3713 loss to Air Force on Saturday, it is James Wright’s running game. By the second quarter, with the Lobos down 17-0, the coaching staff began digging through their back pockets for a player to bring something — anything — to the offense. Backup quarterback B.R. Holbrook seemed the likely choice when he replaced Donovan Porterie, but he ended up getting picked off twice. Finally, UNM found its ace in the hole. Running back James Wright, who made only a single reception for six yards during last week’s game against Tulsa, broke free for 43- and 84-yard touchdowns. “I saw a little life out of the team, and what we are going to do is build on that little bit of life I’ve seen out of our team,” said head coach Mike Locksley. In all, Wright ran the ball only five times, but he compiled a game-high 126 yards, more than
any tailback for the Lobos. That comes out to 25.2 yards per carry, breaking a school record in that category. Compare that to the 1.6 yards per carry the Lobos averaged in the first two games this season. It was also the Lobos’ first 100-plus-yard rushing game so far. Wright credited the offensive line with creating gaping holes, but he also gave himself a little credit. “Scoring two touchdowns — we now know that we can do it,” he said. “We can trust the O-line up front and run the ball and build off that and do other things.” His first dash came with 3:29 left in the first half. With the Lobos trailing 24-0, Wright found a hole on a handoff and barreled 43 yards for a touchdown. His second and longest touchdown run came at the tail end of the game, with the Lobos trailing 37-6. With three minutes left in the game, the Falcons leading 37-6, and the dwindling crowd expecting another three-and-out, Wright broke through the line and pumped 84 yards to the end zone, nearly

Jamie Foxx told us to “Blame It on the Alcohol.” Mike Locksley told us to “blame it on Locks.” Sorry, coach, but on the continuum of culpability, you’re about as guilty for the UNM team getting shish-kebabbed 37-13 by Air Force football as Denzel Washington was in that movie, “The Hurricane.” Can’t say the same about the players. Trust me, Johnnie Cochran would have a hard time defending these guys, because if the glove fits, you must convict. For the third time this season, the New Mexico Grave Diggers took a spade and dug themselves another hole. Down 17-0 by the end of the

Three games into the 2009 football season, it seems defense is about the only thing the Lobos have going for them. UNM lost its Mountain West Conference opener to Air Force 37-13 on Saturday at University Stadium. USAFA 37 With a little more than UNM 13 three minutes left in the half, UNM’s offense scored its first touchdown after 15 scoreless quarters. In a drive that took only 20 seconds, running back James Wright ran 43 yards to the end zone. Wright added an 84-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, the fourth-longest run in school history. But other than that, on special teams and offense, the Lobos looked a notch below subpar. With 49 seconds left in the first quarter, Air Force cornerback Jon Davis intercepted quarterback Donovan Porterie and bolted up the left side of the field. Even a pounding hit by Lobo center Erik
Cook couldn’t stop Davis from scoring. That gave the Falcons a 17-0 heading into the second quarter. Locksley pulled Porterie for B.R. Holbrook before the end of the first quarter, but Holbrook didn’t fare much better, throwing two interceptions and getting sacked four times. “We thought getting B.R. in the game early would give us a chance,” said head coach Mike Locksley. Not a chance. Even though the Falcons lost starting quarterback Tim Jefferson early in the first quarter because of an injury, they managed just fine without him. Jefferson sprained his right ankle with 4:19 to go in the first quarter after completing a 19-yard pass to wide receiver Jonathan Warzeka. Backup quarterback Connor Dietz then replaced Jefferson. Paced by the legs of Asher Clark (20 carries for 90 yards) and the hands of Kevin Fogler (two catches for 42 yards and a touchdown), the Falcons handed the Lobos their third-straight double-digit loss. All Dietz had to do was hand
