New media center to bridge digital learning gap by Tamon Rasberry news@dailylobo.com
UNM’s degree programs have become increasingly geared toward a digital world, and the creation of a state-of-the-art digital media building is a harbinger of that shift. Miguel Gandert, director of the new building located across from Albuquerque Studios on Rio Bravo, said the digital media center acts as an incubator for digital media students to gain knowledge about using professional digital equipment. “The digital divide is so great there is a different world out there for digital media,” he said. “This program is meant to generate more real-world experience in the media field with students.” The center is three stories high and houses a variety of up to date media production equipment. It was funded through initiatives backed by former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson at a cost of $11 million. James Linell, dean of the fine arts department, said Richardson wanted to see the infrastructure
of the movie industry grow. “The governor had a vision of linking education to the infrastructure of the movie industry,” he said. “Governor Richardson saw education as the component to training students with the broad skills and from a variety of backgrounds to take those digital media skills out into the world and do a number of different things.” The new facility contains a 120-seat movie theater for students taking film classes or creating their own films. Gandert said the building is open to other UNM departments and is not just affiliated with digital media. “The support that the media center has had from other programs has been great,” he said. “The College of Engineering, Anderson School of Business, Arts and Sciences, College of Fine Arts and Communication and Journalism are all also affiliated with the involvement of this new project center. There won’t just be digital media students using the full potential of this building but there will also be students from all of these different programs who will utilize the center also.”

Haarhues said UNMPD has about three officers on duty at any given time. That’s about one police officer to every 2,000 students. Haarhues said he doesn’t think UNMPD is understaffed. “We are at our authorized strength,” he said. “We have 25 officers, three sergeants, two lieutenants and a Chief.” UNMPD has 31 officers to protect the 24,105 students attending Main Campus. With the addition of Lobo Village, which is on south campus near
the Pit, UNMPD now has jurisdiction over a larger area. Lobo Village houses 800 students. Student Jessica Lindsey said she rarely sees UNMPD officers on campus. “I have yet to see an officer actually on campus outside their car this semester,” she said. According to UNMPD’s website, “standing and/or walking for more than four hours per day,” is a minimum requirement of the job.

Albuquerque Police Department has four times the amount of police officers per city resident than UNM Police Department has for each UNM student. Albuquerque has a population of 494,236 residents, which means there is one APD officer for about every 450 city residents. UNMPD spokesman Lt. Robert
Student Amanda Long said she too has noticed a lack of officers on campus. “We see them driving around on the street, but there’s been a decline of officers patrolling the heart of campus where the bulk of students really hang out,” she said. Albuquerque Police Department spokeswoman Tasia Martinez said APD sometimes helps UNMPD when a high volume of calls comes in from Main Campus or Lobo Village.
“APD works in conjunction with UNMPD and we will respond to calls for service on UNM campus or in Lobo Village anytime they become inundated or request our assistance, and APD currently has 1,055 Officers,” Martinez said. Martinez said APD will assist with calls from Lobo Village, but they don’t patrol the condos. She said when APD has to assist UNMPD with calls it takes officers away from patrolling the city.

Backpack stolen at juggling club event UNM Police Department officers were dispatched to the Student Union Building Sept. 16 after a student reported a stolen backpack. According to the police report, the student was attending a juggling club event and left his backpack on a chair. An hour later, he discovered his backpack missing from the chair. The report said another student located a backpack matching the description of the missing backpack in a planter outside the SUB. The student confirmed the backpack was his, and that contents missing from his bag included his cell phone and a iPod touch. According to the report, the student called his cell phone and someone answered it, then hung up.
Car stolen via tow truck at Lobo Village A UNMPD officer was dispatched to Lobo Village Sept. 16, after a student reported a stolen vehicle. According to the report, the student asked the officer repeatedly about his vehicle being towed. The officer asked the student if he knew his vehicle would be towed, but the student said he had the necessary parking permits for Lobo Village. UNMPD dispatch checked with APD to see if a vehicle had been towed from Lobo Village, but there was no record of any cars towed that night. The officer spoke to Lobo Village staff, who said they did see a tow truck leaving the apartment complex. The officer contacted Budget Towing, which contracts with Lobo Village, and left a message. The vehicle was entered into the National Criminal Information Center as stolen.

Man removed from scene for trespassing
A UNMPD officer’s investigation into a traffic crash was interrupted Sept. 18, when he was distracted by someone struggling with security and shouting obscenities at Lobo Village. According to a police report, a friend was attempting to calm the subject down, but left after the subject continued to yell expletives. Security guards said the subject was seen in a breezeway fighting with several other individuals. According to the report, he actively resisted being physically removed from the area by security and was intoxicated. The on-call community director requested the subject be given a Criminal Trespass notification and be told to leave and not return, or he would be arrested. The subject left, and the officer met with a resident who said she did not know the subject, and that somehow, he had gotten into her bedroom and was sleeping in her bed. The resident said it was clear he was intoxicated, and when roused, he became verbally abusive and refused to leave her room and apartment. The officer returned to his vehicle crash investigation, but was called back approximately 30 minutes later when the subject returned to Lobo Village, the report said. The subject was taken to UNMPD where he declined to use the phone offered by the officer. He left, walking in a northbound direction.
Student’s iPod, laptop stolen On Sept. 17, a student reported his iPod and laptop stolen from his room at Lobo Village. According to a police report, the student returned from visiting his parents and discovered his property stolen. The student said he had three roommates, one of whom showed some friends around the apartment while the student was gone. According to the report, the roommates could not remember if the apartment door was secured as they came in and out on the night the student was gone. The student said he talked to neighbors below him, who said they had kicked out two people who showed up uninvited to a party.

First lady hits campaign trail by Nancy Benac
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — She’s mingled barefoot among Aspen’s elite, stirred a Vermont utility executive to tears and bucked up disenchanted New Yorkers. The 2012 presidential campaign is well under way for Michelle Obama, and the first lady is promising to put herself into the election effort like never before. More than a year till Election Day, she is hauling in millions in campaign cash and sketching a portrait of her husband that is drawn with an intimacy that no one else could duplicate. The first lady always ends her speeches to Democratic donors with two questions: “Are you in? Are you fired up?” It’s a call to arms that the Obama campaign needs more than ever this election, when the combination of a weak economy and dampened enthusiasm for the president are creating a tougher climate for raising money. Since mid-May, the first lady has headlined more than a dozen fundraisers for her husband and the Democratic Party, at sites from Burlington, Vt., to Berkeley, Calif. She’s cramming in three more events in Maine and Rhode Island within six hours on Friday, the last day of a closely watched reporting period for quarterly campaign fundraising. She’s also blasted out a number of mass emails to party faithful trying to recapture the energy that has waned since her husband’s 2008 campaign. “He needs you to work like you’ve never worked before,” Mrs. Obama tells audience after audience. “Every day. And that’s what I plan on doing.” On Thursday, the Obama campaign popped out an email from Mrs. Obama urging people to donate even as little as $3 before Friday’s quarterly deadline to be in the running for dinner with her husband. At the podium the first lady is both poised and cautious. She often speaks from a teleprompter and relies heavily on her stump speech, addressing largely sympathetic audiences at closed fundraisers.

Mrs. Obama surely has not forgotten the flak she caught during the 2008 campaign for her remark that for the first time in her adult life she was proud of the United States. She later issued a clarification saying she had always been proud of her country. While Mrs. Obama campaigned for her husband’s election in 2008 (and participated in 30 midterm political events) there are different dynamics this time. President Barack Obama’s day job

is a lot more demanding now, forcing him to rely more on others to press the case for his re-election. During the debt crisis last summer, the president had to cancel 10 fundraisers around the country. Mrs. Obama’s schedule was unaffected. The first lady’s popularity has remained high even as the president’s has slipped. Polls show she has broader appeal than her husband with a number of groups that could be troublesome for Obama next year, including senior citizens, whites and people in the West and Midwest. While she is popular with both sexes, women express more deeply favorable views of Mrs. Obama, 47 percent say they have “very favorable” opinions of her, compared to 31 percent of men. A number of her fundraisers have been before largely female audiences. The first lady can easily travel to smaller cities and out-of-the-way places that are more difficult for Air Force One and a cumbersome presidential entourage to reach. On July 26, she hit a $1,000-and-up breakfast in Park City, Utah, and a $1,000-and-up luncheon in Aspen, Colo., where she kicked off her shoes and mingled in a tent on the lawn. On

Crime stats omit DWIs, larceny by Charlie Shipley
CharlieShipley84@gmail.com Recently released UNM crime statistics for 2010 report a decrease in liquor law violations and burglary, but UNM isn’t required to report DWIs or larceny cases. The statistics are required by law to be released every year under the Jeanne Clery Act, but revisions to the act say certain crimes don’t have to be reported, UNM Police Department spokesman Lt. Robert Haarhues said. “There are only certain offenses that you’re required to report on,” he said. “Stuff like DWI arrests, those aren’t reported, and larcenies aren’t reported.” The 2010 statistics reported 33 instances of burglary, compared to 50 in 2009.
After 2009, the Clery Act’s definition of a reported burglary changed. A burglary now must meet three requirements to be reported: There must be evidence of unlawful entry, the unlawful entry must be of a structure with four walls, a roof and a door and there must be evidence the entry was made with the purpose of committing a felony or theft, according to the act. UNM spokeswoman Karen Wentworth said until 2008, UNM also included DWI statistics in the annual reports. “At first we reported DWI stats because the issue was so important on a state level,” Wentworth said. “However it was not as important on a federal level and a revision of the Clery Act guidelines made it clear that they were not interested in DWI statistics.” The 2010 statistics reported 105 liquor law violations referred for disci-
plinary action down from 202 in 2009. Haarhues said the decrease in alcohol violations could be attributed to more stringent policies in the dorms. “What they do is they have a zero-tolerance policy,” he said. “When students come into dorms, they told them what to expect and cracked down immediately.” Interim director of Residence Life and Student Housing Brian Ward said increased staffing keeps students safe. “A lot of what was changed in the residence halls is based on new staffing structure,” Ward said. “We’ve hired new staff who live in res halls and oversee programming, alcohol education and community living standards and greatly improves the community living, and results in decreased incidents of problem behavior.”

June 30, she fit in two fundraisers in Burlington, Vt., and one in Boston. On Friday, she’ll be in Portland, Maine and Providence, R.I. Mrs. Obama is more at ease as a campaign surrogate now, after years in the spotlight. At the start of each appearance she gives a shout-out to prominent locals, singling out “amazing” politicians and “favorite” people. Trying to humanize her husband, she tells audience after audience about the quiet moments, after their daughters are asleep, when Obama hunches over letters from struggling Americans. “I see the sadness and the worry creasing in his face,” she tells her listeners. Feminist leader Gloria Steinem, who appeared alongside Mrs. Obama at a New York fundraiser last week, describes the scene there as “a room full of New York women who are activists, who care deeply about the issues, many of whom are feeling that the president could have been stronger as a negotiator, that he’s handcuffed by the right wing.” “You can imagine the feeling in a New York room,” Steinem said. “Well,
by the end of her speech, people were standing up cheering and ready to go to work. It was a transformation.” The first lady is constantly under a microscope. She was criticized earlier this month for wearing diamond bracelets that cost tens of thousands of dollars to one of the New York fundraisers. (She had borrowed the jewels from a store for the night.) In general, though, first ladies are afforded more respect and leeway in campaigning, and they speak in more controlled environments than do the wives of presidential hopefuls, who are thrown into an exhausting, roughand-tumble political scene and can more easily fall victim to gaffes. “First ladies can scoop up considerable amounts of cash and considerable amounts of good will,” says GOP strategist Rich Galen. “There’s almost no downside.” In 2004, Laura Bush raised more than $15 million for George W. Bush and the GOP and kept a busy separate political schedule. White House aides say it’s too early to set a goal for Mrs. Obama, but she’ll go wherever the campaign directs.

One of the three panelists, Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain, went out of his way in a concurring opinion to dispute that either the U.S. Constitution or the Supreme Court’s interpretation of it provided “a member of the armed forces (with) a constitutionally protected right to engage in homosexual acts or to state that he or she is a homosexual while continuing to serve in the military.” O’Scannlain also criticized the lower court judge who invalidated “don’t ask, don’t tell” last year, U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips. He accused Phillips of willfully failing “to apply established law” so she could issue a ruling “that invalidated a considered congressional policy and imposed a wholly novel view of constitutional liberty on the entire United States.”

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court refused Thursday to decide the constitutionality of the military’s now-repealed “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy banning openly gay troops, saying the issue has been resolved since Americans can enlist and serve in the armed forces without regard to sexual orientation. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco tossed out a lawsuit that had challenged the military policy as a violation of gay service members’ civil rights. In doing so, the appeals court also dismissed a Southern California trial judge’s year-old ruling that the policy was unconstitutional. The gay rights group Log Cabin Republicans filed the lawsuit in 2004 challenging the policy. The group’s lawyer, Dan Woods, said he would ask the full 9th Circuit to review the panel’s decision. The group recently argued the lower court ruling, which also barred enforcement of “don’t ask, don’t tell” should remain in effect despite this month’s repeal because future administrations and lawmakers could reintroduce a ban on gay service. The three judges strongly disagreed in their Thursday opinion, saying the case is moot because there is nothing left to challenge regarding the policy enacted as section 654. “This suit became moot when the repeal of section 654 took effect on Sept. 20,” the ruling said. “If Log Cabin filed suit today seeking a declaration
that section 654 is unconstitutional or an injunction against its application (or both), there would be no Article III controversy because there is no section 654.” The panel specifically rejected Log Cabins’ assertion that the appeals court should decide the underlying constitutional issues to prevent future limitations or outright bans on military service by gay and lesbian Americans. “We cannot say with virtual certainty that the Congress that passed the Repeal Act — or a future Congress whose composition, agenda and circumstances we cannot know — will reenact don’t ask, don’t tell,” the judges said. “We can only speculate, and our speculation cannot breathe life into this case.” Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director R. Clarke Cooper said he was disappointed, noting that the favorable ruling his group obtained in the lower court played a major role in persuading policy makers to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell.” “Log Cabin Republicans v. United States said more than ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ should be repealed — it stood for the fundamental constitutional rights of service members not to be discriminated against by the nation they serve,” Cooper said. “This decision by the 9th Circuit denies more than 14,000 discharged gay and lesbian service members an important means of obtaining justice for the wrong perpetuated against them under the ban, and leaves open the possibility of future violations of service members’ rights.”

On Thursday, The Daily Lobo published a letter titled; “Anti-gay Chick-fil-A profits at UNM,” in which the author argued eating at Chick-fil-A meant supporting an anti-gay agenda. Readers at DailyLobo.com responded: by “LogicIsGood” posted on Thursday “So how is a restaurant’s support of causes you disagree with forcing you to do anything? That sign-off was a joke, wasn’t it? Now that you’ve let everyone know who Chick-fil-A contributes to, some will avoid them because of that, and some will patronize them because of that, and most won’t care. That’s the way it’s supposed to work in a democratic society. Are you running to be on the committee that decides what political/religious/social flavors of company owners are allowed on campus? Peace, love and equality for all.” by “Chick-fil-A supporter forever” posted on Thursday “‘…an affront to Americans everywhere?’ Are you serious? It’s amazing to me how ‘gay rights activists’ make such a big deal about other organizations or people supporting causes that might not agree with their beliefs yet if you challenge them on something, it’s off limits. It’s a free country and I support Chick-fil-A all the more because of the great charity work they do and the fact that it’s really a great company. Brittany, do you really want to live in a country where a company can be shutdown because of its very wise and sound Christian beliefs? What if someone turned the magnifying glass on you and based your acceptance to college or whether or not you got a job on what you believed? I think your tone would change a bit.” by “Jarrod” posted on Thursday “It is one thing for a company to promote Christian values, but another all together for a company to promote an agenda which includes fighting to harm families that don’t fit into their ideal mold. Profits from your chicken sandwiches have gone to organizations like the Family Research Council, who repeatedly use false statistics and uncorroborated scientific data to push an agenda that would, in their ideology, include the prohibition of LGBT people from having, adopting, raising children, as well as attack single parent and co-parent families. Chick-fil-A can support who they want; that is their right, but it is important to make people as informed as possible about just where their money goes when they patronize a business. The fact that this company is profiting on a public university campus is deplorable.” by “Joe” posted on Thursday “For all you “true” Christians out there it is not God who discriminates, it is man who discriminates. This country was founded on freedom and prosperity and how can you tell me that Chick-fil-A is not a freedom killer for gays? Seriously, if you were a true Christian then you would not be such bigots and hate mongers. God loves all of us, and if you believe that God hates anyone then you are just as bad as Satan himself. God does not hate gays; it is man who misinterprets what Scripture says and it is man who twists Scripture to be what man wants it to be. I don’t know about your God, but my God is one of love and of peace, not bigotry and hate. I would love to see any of you go through what gays have to go through and then you will see how hard it is to be gay in this country. And we don’t even live in Uganda where it is illegal to be gay; if you want to see how fake a Christian can be go to Uganda. You will see how fake and how hateful some Christians can be.”

Opinion page supposed to incite conversations Editor, Mr. Buddrius, I believe you are mistaken as to what exactly the opinion page is about. In the Daily Lobo, the opinion page is a place for UNM students, faculty, staff and community members to voice opinions that may or may not be politically correct. It is a place that incites conversation within the populace. You’ve offered two examples of “anti-Christian rhetoric.” The first was a political cartoon that shows a mainstream news anchor creating controversy between scientific fact and religious speculation. The second was an opinion article that challenges the Catholic Church’s right to hold mass on campus. Political cartoons are satire. Say it with me: satire. They poke fun at different institutions and individuals. This particular cartoon pokes fun at both fundamentalist Christians and news organizations. Saying that the Daily Show with Jon Stewart is a more valid news source than actual news channels is scathing! And it’s laughable to consider “Creationism” or “Intelligent Design” to be on the same level of validity as scientific theory. If the scientific world adopted every religious doctrine as fact, we would be ensnared in contradiction. The fact that we have classifications for different types of creation myths should give you some idea as to just how many there are. No one can prove Creationism because it’s not repeatable. Christian doctrine dictates abstaining from testing God or God’s acts. But you may believe whatever you want in your own time. What is being attacked is religion acting like science and expecting to be respected. As far as the scientific community has found, the Earth is not flat, and for the 4.5 billion years the Earth has been in existence, multi-cellular life has only been around for about one billion, and there were dinosaurs before there were humans. You also challenged the opinion article “Duck Pond service not without sin” by Jose Flores. I agree with you, the article is strongly worded. It aggressively challenges the Catholic Church’s right to hold religious ceremonies on campus — and look what it accomplished! Since it was published, there has been mass debate on the Daily Lobo website about whether the Church should be allowed to host this event. The consensus is that the service is legitimate and should be allowed. If the Daily Lobo were really “anti-Christian,” don’t you

think it would have curbed the criticism of the article? If it really were, do you think they would have even let you publish your article? This is a capitalist nation, and if you want a newspaper or news source that vehemently defends one ideology or opinion against another, it will not be that hard to find. As far as I’ve seen, the Daily Lobo is a student news institution that does its best to keep opinions in the opinion section and objectivity in the rest. It is a student organization, so it’s not perfect, but it is not blatantly and strongly for one agenda or another. Max McGuire UNM Student
Secure students, faculty and their belongings too Editor,
I feel betrayed! My brand-new blue 2011 Specialized Crosstrail bicycle was unlawfully taken from within 20 feet of my classroom doorstep Wednesday. I was in class for a mere hour and 15 minutes. Now, I realize that it may only take mere seconds to steal a bike, and you might be thinking that I feel betrayed by the inconsiderate, single-minded drug slave that took my bike, but no! I feel betrayed by the persons responsible for making the decisions to properly inform and secure the students and faculty that attend UNM, including their belongings. I have a question. Where are the f***ing cameras, emails, and/or text messages? At the very least, a memo to the Daily Lobo so that they can inform all the students of the extent to which theft has been occurring on campus for the recent past. According to the officer that took my police report, three bikes were stolen just yesterday! While studying in Zimmerman Library at 10 a.m., a lady started placing triangular cards on every table. The cards warn not to leave belongings unattended, because of a big rise in backpack theft. What about the people who did not go to Zimmerman? Did someone put those cards in every building? I did not see them in Dane Smith Hall, the Mechanical Engineering building or the SUB. I read the cards and my bike was still stolen. I demand more information and a better way to deliver it; we deserve it. How about cameras? I’m no fan of Big Brother, but damn, a camera or two pointed at the racks of 40-50 bikes might catch the people responsible for this string of
thefts, or at least deter some of the thieves from taking thousands of dollars from us as paying students and working faculty members. To be bold, UNM’s reputation for being safe seems to be more of a concern for potential students instead of the current students’ and faculty’s actual safety. What is next? Zac Moss UNM student
Obama not releasing bin Laden photos ridiculous Editor, The Obama administration’s decision to not release photos after the death of Osama bin Laden reveals an alarming ignorance on the part of the U.S. government. In essence government officials expect us to believe that releasing these photos would compromise “national security”? Is there anyone out there who still thinks this government is actually serving the interests of the people? Director of the CIA’s national clandestine service stated that releasing the images could “be used to recruit, raise funds, inflame tensions, or rally support for causes and actions that reasonably could be expected to result in exceptionally grave damage to both the national defense and foreign relations of the United States.” Now, would images of a dead person cause more strife than the continued occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq? Do images of a corpse bother people in the Middle East more the Israeli and Palestinian conflict? Perhaps the people in Washington still expect the ordinary me and you to swallow this propaganda without even blinking. For my part at least, all I can say is that these people need to stop kidding me. If you are going to lie like a devil then at least use a little more imagination. Muhajir Romero UNM student

sports@dailylobo.com The UNM men’s soccer team opens its conference schedule away at UNLV this weekend. The Lobos are 6-0-2, and ranked No. 9 in the nation. UNM was picked to finish in a tie for second place with the University of Denver, with Cal. State Bakersfield picked to win the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) this year. Senior Lance Rozeboom said the team needs to make a statement to the rest of the teams in the conference when they play UNLV this Saturday on the road. “It’s extremely important we start off with a win, with a tough game with UNLV,” he said. “They are always a tough opponent, and we are going in a tough environment and it’s very important to get off to a good start.” Last year UNM beat UNLV three times, but two of the games were overtime wins, and the other UNM had to come back from a 2-0 deficit. Head coach Jeremy Fishbein said he expects UNLV to give his team a good test again this year. “We want it to be a challenge,” he said, “I think that’s how they look at it. They are going into this game 0-0-0 in
conference, and UNLV has everything to play for,” he said. UNM has failed to win the MPSF conference title for the past three years after being picked to finish first in last year’s preseason poll. Rozeboom said that even though the team started off well, they have not won titles yet. “We understand that we had a good non-conference but we haven’t accomplished anything yet,” he said. “We think we can improve in a lot of different areas, and if we do, the sky is the limit for this team.” The MPSF conference is broken up into two divisions, the Mountain and Pacific. The Lobos, in the Mountain Division, will face each of the teams in the Mountain Division: Denver, UNLV and Air Force, twice, once at home and once on the road. Seattle, Cal. State Bakersfield, San Jose State and Sacramento State are all in the Pacific Division, and the Lobos will face each of these teams once. Rozeboom said he feels his team can beat any team they face this year in MPSF play. “You don’t want to be too arrogant saying that, but we go out on the field thinking that we are the best team and that we are the best prepared,” he said. “I think that’s what your mentality has to be if you want to be

Young squad gets first test by Cesar Davila
hendrix@unm.edu The UNM cross country team takes its first big test of the season at the Adidas Notre Dame Invitational in South Bend, Ind. today. Six nationally ranked women’s teams, including the No. 2 Lobos, will take part in the field of 28 in the 5,000-meter race. On the men’s side seven of the 27 are nationally ranked, including the No. 21 Lobos. Head coach Joe Franklin said he knows what to expect from his upperclassmen in a meet like this one but not his newcomers. “I know what the other guys can do,” Franklin said. “We’re worried about how the new kids deal with this type of race, because obviously it’s a big race.” Some of the new Lobos competing in today’s race are Kirsten Follett, Janna Mitsos, Vincent Montoya, Patrick Ortiz and Edwin Herring. Franklin said he was impressed by both Herring and Follett in their first race at the 2011 Lobo Cross Country Invitational in early September, where Follett finished seventh on the women’s side and Herring 19th for the men. They will join three Lobos who competed in Notre Dame who

Kipruto and the Lobos have their first big race of the season at the Adidas Notre Dame Invitational on Saturday. the five-mile race. Franklin said this race will test the abilities of a young squad that is nationally recognized and has high expectations. “This is a different group from last year, there’s no doubt about it,” Franklin said. “It’s just getting used to everything. This is the first one.”
Two losses to Aggies too many by Mundo Carrillo ecarr50@unm.edu
In their first game Locksley-less, the Lobos face in-state rival NMSU this weekend. The Lobos have yet to win a football game this season. Although George Barlow is now the head coach, he said that he is not making drastic changes to the way Locksley ran the program. “I didn’t want to make wholesale changes right off the bat,” Barlow said. “I didn’t want to make it difficult for young kids during a tough transition.” Some of the players said they are saddened by the loss of their head coach. “We took our 48 hours of mourning,” wide receiver Deon Long said. “We all wish Coach Locksley was still the coach, but we have to rise above it and go out and win these next eight games.”

finished well in the invite last season. Seniors Natalie Gray and Ruth Senior finished 10th and 16th, respectively, and Nicholas Kipruto finished in second place last year. The race is the largest one for the Lobos until the MWC Championships one month away. Ultimately all of the runners have to take care of their bodies and that’s something Franklin said he can’t stress enough. “We had one student the other day that said ‘I just didn’t sweat much,’” Franklin said. “He ended up having to have four liters of fluid because he was dehydrated.” The Lobos have national championship aspirations down the road, something that can happen only if the athletes are healthy. “If we can get to the end of the year with everybody healthy, we should have a pretty good team,” Franklin said. The other ranked women’s teams are No. 7 Florida State, No. 18 Arkansas, No. 22 Princeton, No. 28 Penn State and No. 29 Brigham Young University (BYU). For the men, No. 3 Stanford, No. 10 Florida State, No. 12 Princeton, No. 14 BYU, No. 23 Notre Dame and No. 25 Penn State are the other top-ranked schools running

Last weekend UNM lost to Sam Houston State University; the Lobos, hoping for an easy win, paid the Bearkats $300,000 to come here. Quarterback B.R. Holbrook said losing Locksley is a challenge for the team. “It’s a huge void in our program right now,” Holbrook said. “It’s always hard to lose your head coach in the middle of the year.” Linebacker Carmen Messina said the Lobos are feeling the pressure to get their first win of the season this weekend, especially against the Aggies. “This is a very big game for us,” he said. “It’s probably the biggest game of my career. I won’t feel like my career is accomplished if I don’t walk off the field with a win against New Mexico State.” Some players said that the firing of Coach Locksley puts more pressure on them to win this weekend.
“There’s a lot more pressure on us than before because I feel like we have to go out and get this game for Coach Locksley,” Long said. A combined five points have decided the last two games of the Rio Grande Rivalry, both of which NMSU won, thereby snapping a six-game losing streak against the Lobos. The Aggies are 1-3. Their only victory of the season came on the road against Big Ten team Minnesota.

BRAIN INJURY STUDY to Start in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The University of New Mexico is participating in the ProTECT III trial – a National Institutes of Health sponsored research study that is testing if an intravenous infusion of progesterone can improve the outcome of someone who has suffered from a serious traumatic brain injury (TBI). “At present, we don’t have an effective drug treatment to protect the brain from damage caused by a TBI. There is evidence that progesterone might help,” said Howard Yonas, MD, chair for the Department of Neurosurgery at UNM. Because progesterone has been found to be most effective when given as soon as possible within four hours from the time of the traumatic brain injury, some patients may be enrolled in the study under special FDA rules known as “Exception from Informed Consent” (EFIC). These special rules allow research studies in certain emergency situations to be conducted without consent. EFIC can only be used when: • The person’s life is at risk, • Existing treatments don’t work, • The study might help the person, • It is not possible to get permission from the person because of his or her medical condition or from the person’s guardian because there is a very short amount of time required to treat the medical problem. While previous studies have shown giving progesterone as early as possible after a TBI may protect the brain from damage, researchers stress there is no guarantee of benefit. Possible side effects include redness or inflammation at the IV site; blood clots, some serious or even fatal, and reduced resistance to infection, while receiving the study drug infusion. Participants will be monitored for all side effects and treated as needed. Enrollment at UNMH is expected to start in late November and will continue until approximately December of 2014. Study participants will have suffered a serious brain injury, be at least 18 years of age, and meet eligibility criteria. Women who have a positive pregnancy test will not be enrolled in the trial. ProTECT participants will receive either a standard IV solution (placebo) or IV progesterone solution for up to 96 hours. Blood samples will also be taken to help predict how bad a patient’s head injury is and how well they will recover. Participants will receive all other standards of care for their injuries. The paramedics will notify the study staff
