In reversal, governor backs education cuts

Foot of Fury

by Deborah Baker The Associated Press

SANTA FE — Gov. Bill Richardson on Saturday proposed a 1.5 percent cut in education spending as New Mexico lawmakers decide how to backfill a $650 million hole in this year’s state budget during a special legislative session. The proposal to cut public schools and colleges by at least $40 million was a turnabout for the governor, who had previously said he didn’t want to touch education. He said the revision reflected the state’s “new budget realities.” Just weeks ago, the revenue shortfall was thought to be $400 million for the fiscal year that began July 1, but the number has since been revised upward. “Cuts must include safeguards that classrooms, kids and teachers will not be affected,” Richardson said in a statement. He did not elaborate, but a spokeswoman in his office said later that administrative costs were one example of

possible cuts. The special legislative session that began Saturday promises to turn into a pitched battle over how to balance this year’s $5.5 billion budget. “It’s going to be ugly, any way we go … the problem is of such a large magnitude,” said Senate Finance Chairman John Arthur Smith, a Democrat from Deming. The education community said even a 1.5 percent cut was unacceptable. Teachers, administrators, parents and school-board members packed the Senate and House galleries, and youngsters toting red balloons marched around the Capitol yelling, “Don’t cut education.” “They absolutely have to listen to this, or their heads are in the sand,” said Christine Trujillo, president of the American Federation of Teachers-New Mexico. Richardson made it clear in his official proclamation for the session that he doesn’t want lawmakers to

Cancer treatment advances honored by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo

UNM professor Shaung Luan has received the first-ever Qforma Lectureship award for making technological advances in radiology treatment that reduce the amount of time cancer patients spend in the hospital. Luan, an assistant professor of radiology and computer science, assisted in the development of two software programs to improve linear-accelerator-based cancer treatment, minimizing patient time in radiology machines. Luan was not available for comment last week, but in a statement

on the UNM School of Engineering Web site, Luan said that though his work is difficult, it’s also fulfilling. “I’ll never forget the first day they used my algorithm to treat patients,” he said. “I was nervous, but it worked. That’s when I decided to make it the focus of my career.” Luan said his innovations have reduced the amount of time it takes to treat tumors using radiation. “Treatment time can be as much as 80 percent shorter,” he said. “We can deliver a higher dose of radiation to the tumor and less to surrounding structures.” According to the Qforma Web site, the company provides predictive modeling technologies for the

health sciences industry. Computer Science Department Chairwoman Stephanie Forrest said Luan’s award has benefitted her entire department. “We are very thrilled to have this award in the department,” Forrest said. “We are happy that he received it and we are grateful to Qforma for sponsoring it.” Qforma Chief Scientific Officer Roger Jones said that in selecting the recipient for the $5,000 lectureship award, the company looks for candidates who display promise in their own research and in motivating computer science students. “Qforma is looking for

Violence bloodies Rio slums as Olympic plans move ahead by Flora Charner

The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO — At least 2,000 police officers patrolled this coastal city Sunday, and Brazilian officials pledged to host a violence-free 2016 Olympics despite bloody drug-gang shoot-outs that left 14 people dead. An hours-long firefight between rival gangs Saturday in one of the city’s slums killed at least 12 people, injured six and saw a police helicopter shot down and eight buses set on fire. Police said Sunday that they killed two other suspected drug

traffickers in overnight clashes near the Morro dos Macacos (“Monkey Hill”) slum where the gangs fought for territory a day earlier. But the area was largely peaceful. Two officers died and four were injured Saturday when bullets from the gang battle ripped into their helicopter hovering overhead, forcing it into a fiery crash landing on a soccer field. Officials said they did not know if the gangs targeted the helicopter or it was hit by stray bullets. Gunfire on the ground killed 10 suspected gunmen and wounded two bystanders. Authorities said the violence only

toughened their resolve to improve security ahead of the Olympics and before 2014, when Brazil will host the World Cup soccer tournament with key games in Rio, the country’s second-biggest city. Rio state Public Safety Director Jose Beltrame told reporters that the violence was limited to a specific area of the city of 6 million and “is not a problem throughout all of Rio de Janeiro.” He said authorities will follow through with promised efforts to reduce crime. “We proved to the Olympic Committee that we have plans and

proposals for Rio de Janeiro,” Beltrame said. “We proved that our current policy not only consists of going into battle; it also consists of keeping the peace.” Rio state Gov. Sergio Cabral said earlier that the city’s security challenges can’t be cured “by magic in the short term.” But money is being poured into programs to reduce crime, and authorities are prepared to mount an overwhelming security presence at the sporting events to ensure safety, he said. Saturday’s fighting raged about five miles southwest of one of the zones where Rio’s 2016 Olympics

will be held. It was on Oct. 2 that the city was chosen over Chicago, Madrid and Tokyo to host the games. Rio alone among the bid cities was highlighted for questions about security ahead of the vote by the International Olympic Committee. Rio is one of the world’s most dangerous cities. Although violence is mostly contained within its sprawling shantytowns, it sometimes spills into posh beach neighborhoods and periodically shuts down a highway linking the international airport to

consider tax changes, which he said would have little effect on the current budget year. That issue can wait until the regular legislative session in January, he said. Legislative leaders have agreed with that position, but some lawmakers are pushing ahead anyway with tax proposals. They introduced a flurry of bills that included raising taxes on tobacco and alcohol and hiking income taxes for the state’s wealthiest residents. A fight was looming over whether the Legislature has the authority to consider tax increases in light of the governor’s edict in the proclamation that legislation to fix the budget problem “shall not include” tax measures.

hikes suggested he had overstepped his authority in telling lawmakers what not to do. Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, said the Senate was reviewing the limitations set by the governor to determine whether they left the Legislature enough leeway to “carry out its constitutional duty” to address the budget issues. The proposed 1.5 percent education cut was part of a broader set of proposals from the governor that also included cutting agency spending by 3.5 percent but avoided layoffs and furloughs.

promising, high-quality untenured professors that will both enhance the reputation of the University and inspire and motivate UNM computer science students to become firstrate developers,” he said. A committee of senior faculty nominated Luan for the award, Jones said. Forrest said Luan deserved to win because of his actions as a department member and as a technology developer. “He is a totally dedicated professor — dedicated to his research and a wonderful teacher,” she said. “He is very generous in department service.” Forrest said Luan’s computergenerated innovations in the radiology field have significantly reduced the amount of time patients spend in hospitals. “He has contributed to radiology by developing computerized algorithms that demonstrably improve patient care,” she said. “His algorithms

are reducing the amount of time that people have to spend inside the machines being treated.” The monetary component of the lectureship award is not allocated for anything specific, but it improves the department’s reputation overall, Jones said. “We hope that the recognition and award will enhance the recipient’s ability to attract good students to his or her research program,” Jones said. “We also hope that the award will help attract other high-quality junior faculty to the computer science department” Luan credited departmental collaboration for its role in his success. “You need committed collaborators in medicine and the background in the theory of computer science to design algorithms to solve these problems,” Luan said. “We have both here at UNM. And our department makes interdisciplinary research a priority.”

Locksley’s 10-day suspension a mere slap on the wrist Editor, UNM’s decision to suspend head football coach Mike Locksley for 10 days amounts to nothing more than a slap on the wrist and serves as yet another illustration of the lengths those in power will go to in order to protect themselves and each other from the inconveniences of personal responsibility. Locksley publicly acknowledged becoming involved in a “physical altercation” with one of his assistant coaches following the Lobos’ loss to Air Force last month, citing the pressures of

Lobo should have sought out wider perspective on Sukkot Editor, Adam R. Burnett’s article, “Sukkot makes joyful noise,” in the Oct. 12 issue, contained a number of factual errors and misleading statements that deserve clarification. First, Sukkot is a Jewish Holiday that has been celebrated continuously and joyfully by the mainstream Jewish community for thousands of years. The celebration portrayed in Burnett‘s article bears little resemblance to Sukkot as practiced in such communities. Second, Sukkot is a weeklong holiday which occurs during the fall on the 15th day of Tishrei in the Jewish calendar, following the Jewish high

in the University-issued statement, this probably means that she withdrew her complaint, not that she said that Locksley didn’t say what he said and do what he did. Most likely, Ms. Lopez was pressured to settle this case by the administration and by the fear of being unemployed in a bad job market with no job reference. I support her and sympathize with her being pitted against such formidable forces, and I hope she got a big payment. The payment could have come from the winning bonuses that coach Locksley doesn’t get yet this season. A 0-6 win-loss record and no chance of playoffs must be saving the University a lot of money. Maybe the administration and the Athletics Department could save a lot more money by charging the coaches an amount similar to the win bonus when they lose.

Also, could the Daily Lobo publish the complete “University-issued statement” concerning the Lopez settlement or the Web address? I could not find it anywhere on the University’s Web site and, needless to say, nothing about it was mentioned in the never-informative “President Schmidly’s Monday-morning message” this week. Next, let’s see what the administration says about a “settlement” in the case of Locksley’s alleged punch in the mouth to his assistant coach.

his job as the cause of his otherwise “inexcusable” actions. In a recent press conference, Athletics Director Paul Krebs asserted that no one witnessed Locksley’s admitted indiscretion — as if surveillance alone should govern one’s actions, as if the questions surrounding this incident had only to do with innocence, guilt and “hard” evidence and nothing to do with competence, character or leadership. A head football coach making $750,000 a year who lacks the modicum of self-restraint and discipline required to avoid getting into what he himself calls a physical altercation with a subordinate is manifestly unfit for the job, and a 10-day suspension will not change that. Past and present administrators and

coaches have publicly bemoaned UNM’s “lack of school spirit.” But how are we to take pride in an institution that does not demand a higher standard from those it places in positions of prominence? Locksley’s actions are a national disgrace that would have cost any of us our jobs and probably resulted in assault charges. Yet the University apparently feels it is more important to defend the image of its power than to do the right thing and fire Locksley. Administrators insist they have handled the incident appropriately, but UNM’s students and the people of New Mexico deserve better.

holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The celebration as covered in the Daily Lobo is a Christian interpretation of an unarguably Jewish celebration. Although Dennis Otero may refer to himself as “rabbi,” this is an inappropriate designation for a Christian religious leader. Moreover, belief in Yeshua as the Messiah, as Dennis Otero asserts, is antithetical to the core practice and philosophy of Judaism. Contrary to what is stated in the article, the festival of Sukkot is widely and publicly celebrated in Jewish communities across the state of New Mexico. It is bewildering to us that the Daily Lobo chose to incorrectly and inappropriately showcase a private religious celebration in the daily paper of the state’s largest public university. Moreover, one would expect that the reporter and editor would recognize the controversial

nature of this celebration, and seek comment from at least one congregation or leader from New Mexico’s Jewish community.

I know how to manage my time and I would be a good role model. â&#x20AC;Ś It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter what age you are (to run). What matters is what you are willing to do. I am willing to do the best I can for the title.â&#x20AC;?

Lin Mazor, Senior, Political Science â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me it all started with my sorority (Pi Beta Phi). Throughout my four years at UNM it has been my foundation. For me it was watching the older girls and everything they did outside of the sorority and their accomplishments. I wanted to do the same sort of thing.â&#x20AC;?

Caiti Neice, Senior, Communications â&#x20AC;&#x153;In high school, I lived in Italy in a town of 700 people. Going from here to 700 people was quite a bit of culture shock. I think that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a lot more cultured now, and because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced a different culture and a different language, I can understand the world a little bit better.â&#x20AC;?

Adriana Romero, Senior, Elementary Education â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason why I really wanted to run was to take away from that traditional stereotype of what Homecoming queens are. (Being Homecoming king or queen) is more a representation of UNM. As king and queen you attend a couple breakfasts and that kind of thing. Your student body is electing you to be the face of UNM.â&#x20AC;?

Chelsea Stallings, Junior, English â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am an ASUNM senator.Â In ASUNM we do a lot of substantial things. I think a lot of people think we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything to do, but I think we are making a difference. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good experience to learn; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good experience to be involved with a campaign.â&#x20AC;?

I just realized Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be happier going to a smaller college. Now what? I just realized Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be happier going to a smaller college. Now what?

Homecoming marked by alumni public service by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo

UNM alumni have donated their time, money and cooking skills to kick off community service projects for Homecoming week. On Oct. 9, members of the UNM Alumni Homecoming Committee made dinner for more than 70 residents at the Albuquerque branch of national nonprofit Ronald McDonald House. RMDH gives families a place to live if their children require an extended hospital stay. Established in 1982, the local RMDH is on north campus, within walking distance of UNM Hospital. Roberta Ricci, vice president of alumni relations, said 12 members of the committee volunteered as guest chefs for a night at RMDH. “I was trying to find a civic engagement project that tied into either education or the University,” Ricci said. “Since the Ronald McDonald House is very tied to University Hospital, I thought it was just a perfect fit for the community here.” Ricci said the committee spent about two hours cooking a traditional New Mexican dinner. “The Alumni Homecoming Committee met over at the Ronald McDonald House, and we were their guest chefs for the evening,” Ricci said. “We cooked red and green enchiladas, beans, Spanish rice, deserts and tortillas for the families.” Ricci said committee members were given grocery lists and purchased all ingredients out of their own pockets. Brad Hutchins, committee member and UNM athletics marketing officer, said he enjoyed making

dinner for RMDH residents and wants to do it again next year. “I think any time you have the opportunity to help someone else, you should take advantage of that,” Hutchins said. “Often you get on a committee and just plan events for Homecoming week. It’s nice to think outside the box and also help some folks in the community.” Ricci said the committee organized two other projects that will benefit the local RMDH. Residents are always in need of home-cooked meals, Ricci said, and the committee is asking for casserole donations throughout the week. “For Homecoming, starting on Monday, we’re collecting casseroles for the Casserole Angel Program,” Ricci said. “When families come back to the RMDH and they don’t have a guest chef, they can just pop a casserole in the oven. They also use the casseroles to send with the families when they go back home so

Medieval Homecoming theme inspires events by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo

Homecoming week has arrived, filled with festivities for the UNM community. The celebration will kick off Tuesday with a department-decorating contest. In accord with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homecoming theme, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lobo Knights,â&#x20AC;? UNMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various departments will include coats of arms in the decorations. The Medieval Studies Student Association will show two films during Homecoming week, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kingdom of Heavenâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beowulf: Prince of the Geats,â&#x20AC;? said Marisa Sikes, MSSA president. Although the theme for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homecoming is medieval, people are generally misinformed about true medieval culture, Sikes said, and both of the movies will provide a good opportunity to change that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to discuss the medieval culture after Beowulf â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how the film does and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reflect the true culture of Anglo-Saxon England,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Maxwell Museum of Anthropologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Archaeology Curator David Phillips and Ethnology Curator Kathryn Klein are hosting a tour of collections pertinent to medieval history. Sikes said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the University to incorporate educational activities into Homecoming week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It ties in with the larger goals of the University to be a place of higher education,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While you might think of Homecoming as being more associated with football or celebration, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt to include something more educational.â&#x20AC;?

The UNM Alumni Association will return for various events throughout the week as well, said Susan MacEachen, Alumni Association senior alumni relations officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We provide a great connection for our former students to return to their University and for students to meet alumni at the various events,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity for the alumni to show their support and their loyalty to the University.â&#x20AC;? The Alumni Association is one of the largest public benefactors of Homecoming week, MacEachen said. The group starts planning in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homecoming is one of our largest alumni events all year. The whole staff puts a lot of effort into it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to bring everybody back and celebrate UNM, their appreciation for their education and participation for students.â&#x20AC;? Whether you are a current student or a returning one, this Homecoming week will be filled with interesting activities to engage the campus and embrace school spirit, MacEachen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People just like Homecoming. They like the fall weather and the atmosphere,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sense of pride and an opportunity for them to show it, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great celebration.â&#x20AC;?

they can have a couple days of reprieve and get situated.â&#x20AC;? Ricci said casseroles can be dropped off at the Ronald McDonald House, University House or Hodgin Hall. She said the committee is also asking for donations of toilet paper for the local RMDH. She said students can also get a free Homecoming pin in exchange for a toilet paper roll on Wednesday from 11 a.m to 12:30 p.m. in SUB Ballroom C. Hutchins said UNM students who want to get more involved can participate in both projects.

Ryan Lindquist, associate director of student activities, said volunteering is an important part of every Homecoming week. He enjoyed making dinner for RMDH residents so much that he wants to do it again with a group of friends, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think giving back to the community makes you want to do more,â&#x20AC;? Lindquist said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just wanted to make sure there was a community service aspect to Homecoming this year, and the Alumni Association did a good job of putting that together so we could help make that come true.â&#x20AC;?

Volleyball is run over by Rebels in tough loss by Brandon Call Daily Lobo

Alford

from page 16

Not coincidentally, that led to the Lobosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exclusion from the NCAA Tournament. UNM was then vanquished in the National Invitational Tournament by California â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the top-flight teams on the Lobosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schedule this year. Still, it seems the Lobos just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t steer clear of the iceberg, because the exact same thing happened to them last season. Twenty-two wins, but then another hasty one-night stand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Lobos were in and out of the MWC Tournament before anyone could blink, this time with the spurs of Wyoming tortuously digging into them. Conceivably â&#x20AC;&#x201D; early conference-tournament losses aside â&#x20AC;&#x201D; UNMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest quandary is scheduling, which as Alford said at the conclusion of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a catch-22. Play a tough nonconference schedule, Alford said, and you run the risk of beating up your team before it enters conference play. Schedule too many Hostess, cream-filled cupcakes, he said, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not battle-tested come interleague play. Your Ratings Percentage Index will take a hit, something the selection committee considers

Howl

New Mexico Daily Lobo

when determining which teams get at-large bids come tournament time. With that in mind, Alford said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule has his name written all over it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the most difficult schedules compiled in Alfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s years at UNM. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my fault,â&#x20AC;? Alford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did that schedule thinking (weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have centers) Kem Nweke and Isaiah Rusher. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably too much to bite off, to be honest with you.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calendar is peppered with tournament contenders. UNM has a date with California â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a team which lost to Maryland 84-71 in the first round of the NCAA tourney â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dec. 2. There are no placeholders filling the Lobosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; planner between that matchup and a neutral-site contest with Texas A&M on Dec. 12: in between, UNM will take on in-state rival NMSU and visit San Diego. Just for good measure, the Lobos will complete the second leg of a home-and-home with Texas Tech, which will be making the return trip to The Pit Dec. 29. Lastly, UNM will take on Dayton, which fell to Kansas in the second round of the

NCAA Tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing those big names,â&#x20AC;? Alford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You got to win some of those big-name games. We obviously didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win enough in the nonleague (last year). Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scary going into this season. We have to be patient. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not real easy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a real patient guy.â&#x20AC;? For his own sake, Alford would be well-suited to develop that virtue as soon as possible. It could potentially be a long year, considering the Lobos are down three seniors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tony Danridge, Chad Toppert and Daniel Faris â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and their 12-man roster is composed of a combined nine freshmen and sophomores. But swing man Phillip McDonald, now entering his second year with the team, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it that way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we end up beating good teams and BCS schools, we have a chance to be ranked in the top 25,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matter of fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help us get in the tournament.â&#x20AC;? Yep, but it could also have Alford exhausted, mumbling to himself on the bench, asking why on Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green earth he scheduled such stout competition.

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even from the beginning, I was a little surprised at our first warm-up going full-court; we scored a lot of points off of that. I was pretty surprised with the whole thing.â&#x20AC;? Beggin, who now has won three Lobo Howl 3-point contests, repeated as champion on Friday. However, Beggin didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cruise like she did in years past. In the semifinals of the shootout, Beggin faced her biggest competition, Amanda Best.

She narrowly avoided defeat, hitting one more 3-pointer than Best. Then, in the finals, Beggin and Taylor were tied at 18, but Beggin sashayed her last attempt, giving her the title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew going in this was going to be a great battle,â&#x20AC;? Beggin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of great 3-point shooters on our team. I think it is a sign of things to come this year. We have a lot of great players, and it will be a fun year.â&#x20AC;?

from page 16

the 2009-10 season, but senior Amy Beggin proved why she is the team leader and preseason All-MWC. Beggin helped the cherry squad squeak out a 31-28 victory over the silver team in the Lobosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; intersquad scrimmage. Beggin hit the game winning 3-pointer after Lauren Taylor tied the game with a 3-pointer. Flanagan was impressed with the scoring the Lobos were able to produce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt we shot pretty well,â&#x20AC;? he

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite the homecoming the UNM volleyball team expected. Coming off back-to-back road wins against rival New Mexico State and Mountain West Conference foe Utah last week, the Lobos dropped a 25-21, 25-18, 25-18 match to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Saturday at Johnson Gym. Halfway through the MWC schedule, UNM is 13-7 overall and 4-4 in conference. UNM 0 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard hit for us,â&#x20AC;? said head UNLV 3 coach Jeff Nelson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give UNLV credit: They played well. But they were 4-11 coming into this match. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose to a team with that kind of a record. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bad loss for us.â&#x20AC;? From the first point, the Lobos looked shaky. Setter Jade Michaelsen dumped the ball into the net to give the Rebels a 1-0 lead in the first set, and UNM never recovered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all had it in our heads that UNLV was just going to give it to us, and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? said sophomore middle blocker Ashley Rhoades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started off slow and never really picked it up.â&#x20AC;? Tied at 20-20 in the first set, UNLVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cursty Jackson took control with a kill and two block assists to give UNLV the first set, 25-21. Jackson finished the match with 17 kills and hit .600 for the Rebels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew (Jackson) would be fast in the middle,â&#x20AC;? Rhoades said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were supposed to keep our hands up and block early. But we waited until the setter had already set the ball to

jump and by then it was too late.â&#x20AC;? The Lobos started set two in a hole, 2-8. After UNM fought back to within one at 11-12, UNLV went on a 7-0 streak to lead 19-11. After a time out, the Lobos scratched back to 18-22 behind two kills and a solo block by junior middle blocker Taylor Hadfield. But the Rebels once again came out firing to close the set 25-18. During the break, Nelson tried to shake things up for game three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We asked them to make adjustments, and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it,â&#x20AC;? Nelson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of the most talented teams Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the least coachable. We gave them a game plan, and they decided whether or not to follow it.â&#x20AC;? In the third game, UNM and UNLV battled evenly to 13-13. The Rebels went on a 10-1 run to lead 23-14, before sealing the win 25-18. No Lobo reached double digits in kills. Rhoades knocked down nine kills to pace UNM. Hadfield added eight, and junior outside hitter Lisa Meeter chipped in five. As a team, UNLV hit .301 for the match, while the Lobos posted a dismal .076. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a tough time putting the ball down,â&#x20AC;? Michaelsen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to mix things up a little more and choose better shots.â&#x20AC;? UNM sits in fifth place in the MWC race behind Colorado State at 8-0, TCU and Utah at 6-2, and BYU at 5-3. Michaelsen said the Lobos will have to fight in the coming weeks to turn their season around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This loss puts us in a position where a lot of other teams will decide our fate,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to turn around and dig deep to beat our leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top teams if we want a shot at postseason.â&#x20AC;?

Gary Alderete / Daily Lobo Forward Justin Davis slides to the ground as the ball sails over him. The Lobos defeated Cal State Bakersfield 2-1 on Sunday at the UNM Soccer Complex.

by Nathan Farmer Daily Lobo

It took 89 minutes to tie the game — and nine more to win it. But the UNM men’s soccer team remains undefeated in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation play, moving to 2-0 after a thrilling 2-1 overtime win Sunday over conference foe Cal State Bakersfield. No. 14 UNM found itself down early after the Roadrunners converted a penalty-kick opportunity in the 32nd minute, compliments of midfielder Alberto Navarro’s goal, which gave Cal State a 1-0 lead. With the outcome looking grim, midfielder Stephen Brown scored the game-tying goal with 38 seconds left. That momentum carried the Lobos through overtime, and forward Justin Davis was able to put away the game winner in a one-on-one situation with Cal State’s goalkeeper, Eric Shannon. Head coach Jeremy Fishbein said close wins will prepare UNM for a rigorous conference schedule. “Our guys were confident. We hit the post a couple of times, created chances, and our guys believed in themselves,” said Fishbein. “You don’t like to put yourselves in these situations, but these wins go a long way.” Davis said UNM 2 Sunday’s victory was a qual1 CSB ity win for the Lobos. “We knew we had to fight a little bit in the second half,” Davis said. “We came out and just really attacked the goal and created a lot of chances. It took us long enough to put one in, but we finally did, and we just carried that into the overtime.” Sunday’s win, which rounds out a flawless weekend for the Lobos, will serve as a guidepost for the rest of UNM’s conference season, said defender Simon Ejdemyr. Ejdemyr, who has anchored the back line and chipped in with three goals, said having three conference home games made this weekend’s games even more crucial. But the difficulty of the Lobos’ nonconference

schedule, which has come in handy so far, prepared UNM for an intense conference race. During the nonconference portion of the season, the Lobos played six teams ranked in the top 25. The Lobos have looked impressive overall, with road wins over nonconference opponents Notre Dame and California — both ranked in the top 10 this season. UNM nudged by the Fighting Irish 2-1 in overtime before handing the Golden Bears a 2-1 loss. “We have played one of the hardest nonconference schedules of any team in the nation this season,” said midfielder Stephen Brown. The most important results are inconference, however. Last season, UNM lost three road conference games to San Jose State, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and eventual-champion Denver. And, after winning four consecutive conference titles, the Lobos finished second behind Denver. In recent years, the Lobos have played every team twice — once at home and once on the road. This season, teams only face each other once, so each contest is even more important, said midfielder and forward Michael Green. “We really need to play more consistent at home and away in order for us to win back the title,” he said. From here, the Lobos play four straight road games, traveling to Colorado for a matchup with Air Force and a pivotal game against Denver. The Lobos continue their grueling road schedule against Sacramento State and San Jose the following weekend. And after a heartbreaking nonconference overtime loss to UC-Irvine on Oct. 7, Fishbein’s attitude towards conference play has changed. “We were all looking past conference to the NCAA tournament,” he said. “It would have made it easier to make the NCAA tournament with seven wins against some quality teams, but now we know we must win conference to make it to the postseason.” Loretta Cardenas contributed to this report.

Lone senior is thrown into leadership role by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo

Ten of the 12 UNM men’s basketball players have one year or less of experience in Division I college basketball. But leading the Lobos’ way are two players from last year who have 129 starts in their college careers combined. To put that in perspective, the rest of the men’s basketball team has 34 Division I starts under their belt. Forward Roman Martinez and point guard Dairese Gary are the lone upperclassmen on the team. The coaches have picked them to share the role of captain. Martinez is the only senior for the Lobos. Last season, he averaged 10.6 points per game and 6.4 rebounds per game — and, most importantly, he has 67 starts. The nature of college sports dictates that there will be a constant flux of leadership stepping up and then graduating, said head coach Steve Alford. And Alford said Martinez has taken on that role this year, whether he wants it or not. “Unfortunately it is not real fair for him,” Alford said. “He is the lone guy. We have had three (seniors) each of the last two years to help in the senior leadership and captain responsibilities. And now we have one senior. And that is a heavy load to bear.” Martinez said he has adapted to the role on the floor, but basketball extends farther than just the court. “On the floor I have always been a good leader, but, in a sense, off the floor I need to communicate more,” he said. Gary will also be sharing leadership responsibilities. He goes into the season with experience at the point-guard

position. He started every game last year, leading the starting five and contributing 8.1 points and a teamhigh 4.1 assists per game — second overall in the Mountain West Conference. As one of the few experienced players on the team, he said he has seen the team change since last season. “Last year we were a more advanced team,” he said. “This year, there is a lot of teaching and it is slower. We do go hard and go physical, but there is a lot more slowing down and teaching now.” Still, neither captain will succumb to calling this a rebuilding year. “Rebuilding years are just a year where you do OK — you get some wins and take tough losses,” he said. “I don’t really agree that this is a rebuilding year. We want to see this year as another chance to win a championship.” Even so, Gary said that the young team will have to hit the ground running and that there will be a freshman learning curve in the opening months of the season, but he’s confident the Lobos will overcome it. “We have a strong team,” Gary said. “We have a lot of good players. I don’t feel that I am getting shortchanged with the team right now. It is just another year, and we have to go out and prove it.” After getting off to a slow start last year, the Lobos finished the year in a three-way tie for the MWC regular-season championship. But it was harder that way, Martinez said, and it’s important UNM doesn’t dig itself into a hole early on this season. “Last year, we started 3-4, and I want anything other than that,” he said. “So we are going to work hard to make sure it doesn’t happen this year.”

Alford’s tough schedule will be make-or-break by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

Not surprisingly, Steve Alford didn’t have any preseason premonitions when he was asked to estimate how many wins the UNM men’s basketball team needs to get into the NCAA Tournament this year. Every year, the requisite magicnumber-of-wins question is raised, and, every year, the men’s head basketball coach, now heading into his third season with the Lobos, responds more or less in the same manner — “I have no idea.” Why? Because every year the UNM men’s basketball team is left to brood over its NCAA-bid inadequacies, however marginal. “Twenty-four (wins) the first

year and 22 and a (regular-season) championship wasn’t enough,” Alford said. “Our schedule is tougher. Our schedule is something that keeps getting better, and that’s something that enhances the things that you want to do (in the season).” If the NCAA Selection Committee is captain on an elementary basketball court, the Lobos are always the last kid picked. Two years ago, in Alford’s maiden voyage, the Lobos reeled off 24 regular-season wins — but suffered a Titanic collapse against sixthplace finisher Utah, falling short in overtime of the Mountain West Conference Tournament quarterfinals 82-80.

She has 10 goals on the season and 14 career goals. She also captured a single-season record in game-winners, with seven this season. The Lobos improved to 11-3-2 in the season.

Lobo Howl sets high sights for year by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo

RIO RANCHO — Jamal Fenton isn’t Joe Namath — he came about two inches short of delivering on a promise. At Media Day for UNM men’s basketball on Thursday at the Davalos Center, the 5-foot-8-inch point guard had fighting words for his teammates. He guaranteed he would take home the dunk title on Friday. “I am going to win the dunk contest,” he said. “I am just letting everybody know.” Instead, he came in second to junior-college transfer Darington Hobson. The dunk contest marked the last of Friday’s Lobo Howl festivities, with the Lobos playing in an intersquad scrimmage and 3-point contest beforehand. Hobson would show off his flight ability in the dunk contest, but first he showcased his true all-around skills in UNM’s 20-minute scrimmage. Hobson led all Lobos with 21 points and went 9-of-15 from the

field, lifting the cherry squad to a 44-31 win over silver. Head coach Steve Alford said he was encouraged that so many people made the trek out to the City of Vision, which hosted the cherrysilver game because The Pit is still undergoing renovation. “This is what our fans do,” he said. “This was a great turnout for us. It’s exciting for our kids. It really is a great way for us to tip off the season like this. It energizes them going into the practice season.” But the gem of the night was the dunk contest. To get to the finals, Fenton bounced the ball off the backboard and one-handed the basketball into the rim. He saved a more spectacular dunk for the finals of the fun-filled contest, but he failed to finish the jam. From about half court, Fenton flipped up to teammate Nate Garth, and did a cartwheel followed by a cleanly executed back flip — but he didn’t have enough spunk to finish the alley-oop, falling just a couple of inches shy of rocking the rim.

Still, the crowd of about 3,500 thought he won the contest. “I thought I was going to win the dunk contest,” Fenton said. “I would say I won.” The night was filled with surprises, too. Two members of last year’s Mountain West Conference regular-season championship team made special appearances. Three-point specialist Chad Toppert competed with this year’s 3-point champion, Phillip McDonald. The two tied with 13. After narrowly beating Fenton, Hobson squared off with last year’s NCAA dunk and Howl champion Tony Danridge. For the element of shock, Danridge dressed incognito, wearing a pair of black and red plaid shorts and a gray wig that looked like assistant coach Craig Neal’s salt-andpepper hair. But the crowd wouldn’t have been as pumped if it weren’t for the men’s opening act. Women’s head coach Don Flanagan and the women’s basketball team have five new faces for
