Eco-Reps advocate recycling on campus by Sean Gardner Daily Lobo
A group of environmentally-conscious students have organized to promote recycling in the For more info dorms. about Eco-Reps, Eco-Reps — e-mail lobosust@ a collaborative unm.edu effort between UNM Recycling, Residence Life and Student Housing and a service learning class — is a group of students who want more recycling opportunities on campus, said Elyse Jalbert, the group’s president. “Eco-Reps are elected student leaders who basically encourage sustainable living and recycling in the dorm,” Jalbert said. Since 2004, UNM Recycling has attempted to install permanent recycling bins near the residence halls — including a 30-yard bin between lower Johnson and Santa Ana residence halls — but they have been placed sporadically and are removed without notice, said Linda McCormick, president of UNM Recycling. McCormick said the bins were moved to south campus and there are no plans to return them closer to the dorms. “They were moved out of there for a variety of reasons and they are now located on the south side of the

UNM’s advising ratio twice the national average by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
UNM and its peer institutions are finding themselves with an influx of students who need advisement, but the universities don’t have the money to hire more advisers. UNM’s University College student-to-adviser ratio of 770-to-1 is the highest of 16 peer institutions that had data readily available, and it
is more than twice the last recorded national average. “We have a higher student-adviser ratio than most. That’s a given. We know that,” said Vanessa Harris, University College Advisement Center director. “The University is working toward decreasing that ratio for students.” Harris said UCAC, which has 10 advisers, is struggling to advise the college’s 7,700 students. She said the
center is also allocating new money from the Board of Regents to hire more advisers. Charlie Nutt, executive director of the National Academic Advising Association, said that because UCAC does not offer online advising, has limited phone and e-mail advising, and requires advisement every semester, 770-to-1 is a high ratio. “Seven hundred-to-one is a large ratio, especially with the limited
other avenues of advice and experience open to the students in the University College,” he said. However, Nutt said such ratios are common. “Unfortunately, New Mexico is not unique in those high ratio numbers for a university of your size,” he said. “That doesn’t make you (at UNM) feel any better.” Nutt said NACADA asked

Fraternity repairs bikes for charity by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
UNM’s chapter of the Lambda Theta Phi Latin fraternity spent the weekend giving bicycles to children who need them. About 15 members of the fraternity volunteered to help the Community Bike Recycling Program. They put together bikes and distributed them to Albuquerque elementary school students. Alejandro Elias, president of Lambda Theta Phi Latin fraternity, said the fraternity volunteers with the program once a semester. “I think it’s kind of neat because some of the kids have never had bikes,” Elias said. “It is a gift for them and that is something we focus on in our fraternity. It’s to give back to the community.” The volunteer-only program, which began in 2004, accepts donations of working or broken bicycles.

The bikes are then given to needy families, said program director Richard Rivas. Apart from the fraternity, four volunteers work twice a week to fix up and distribute bicycles. The program distributes about 30 to 40 bikes to a different Albuquerque elementary school every month, Rivas said. The group keeps up to 400 bikes in its warehouse at all times. Rivas and his volunteers choose bike recipients with the help of the elementary schools’ counselors, who identify students whose families have financial hardships, Rivas said. Through the program, Rivas and his volunteers educate bike recipients on bike safety and tout the health benefits of riding bicycles. “It’s an all-volunteer group and we don’t get paid for any of the services,” he said. “I don’t have the volunteers to do all the repairs on the bikes. I have established organizations to give them bikes (and) have them (repair) the bikes. As president, I try to get other groups
Community Bike Recycling Program CommunityBikeRecycling.org throughout the city to help the kids in the community.” Gian Chaves, community service chair for the fraternity, said he stumbled on Rivas’ program a couple of years ago. Chaves said he and his fraternity brothers volunteer because it benefits all of Albuquerque. “One of the reasons I like to do this kind of community service is because we can get our hands dirty,” Chaves said. “It’s fun, but it’s fulfilling whenever you get to see the faces on these kids when they get a bike.” Rivas said he’s looking to expand the Community Bike Recycling Program. “We haven’t expanded out to the rest of the Bernalillo County area just yet,” he said. “But we could go outside to Santa Fe, Los Lunas and every where else if we got the help.”

4,000 local volunteers
participate in service day by Candace Hsu and Nicole Raz Daily Lobo
On Sunday, volunteers around the country united to participate in the largest community service effort in the nation — Make a Difference Day. USA Weekend Magazine created Make a Difference Day 19 years ago to encourage volunteer projects in communities, according to the Make a Difference Day Web site. The event is on the fourth Sunday in October. About 4,000 Albuquerque volunteers participated in Make a Difference Day events this year, said Debra Saine, manager of the Mayor’s Office of Volunteerism and Engagement. Some groups that participated include Sandia National Labs, the Miss America Organization and the Albuquerque Academy. There were over 100 projects throughout New Mexico for volunteers to choose from, including a Big Brothers Big Sisters Halloween carnival and doing maintenance work at Casa Esperanza — a house that provides temporary residence to cancer

patients and their families. Mike Gallegos, volunteer coordinator for Casa Esperanza, said the house has been a part of Make a Difference Day for more than 14 years. This year, volunteers came from Sandia National Labs and the Albuquerque Academy, he said, and the volunteers helped paint fences, cleaned and raked leaves. “We got a lot of stuff done,� Gallegos said. “It was great. We had more stuff to do than I thought we were going to have, and we accomplished a lot.� Organizations could request help from volunteers by registering with Make a Difference Day, Gallegos said. Organizations provided information about the work that needed to be done, and then put it into an online database for volunteers to claim projects, he said. Nicole Miner, Miss New Mexico 2009, spent the day at Casa Esperanza. Volunteers performed yard work, painted rooms and raked leaves.

water they had found to quench their thirst “tasted salty.” If they had not been toting the device that works like Onstar for hikers, “we would have never attempted this hike,” one of them said after the third rescue crew forced them to board their chopper. It’s a growing problem facing the men and women who risk their lives when they believe others are in danger of losing theirs. Technology has made calling for help instantaneous even in the most remote places. Because would-be adventurers can send GPS coordinates to rescuers with the touch of a button, some are exploring terrain they do not have the experience,
knowledge or endurance to tackle. Rescue officials are deciding whether to start keeping statistics on the problem, but the incidents have become so frequent that the head of California’s Search and Rescue operation has a name for the devices: Yuppie 911. “Now you can go into the back country and take a risk you might not normally have taken,” says Matt Scharper, who coordinates a rescue every day in a state with wilderness so rugged even crashed planes can take decades to find. “With the Yuppie 911, you send a message to a satellite and the government pulls your butt out of something you shouldn’t have been in in the first place.”
universities to report their student-toadviser ratios in 2003, and the average was 300-to-1. NACADA is compiling data now to update the survey, and Nutt said the ratio will go up. “I personally am predicting that it probably will have changed significantly and probably has increased because of the … economy and increase in student population,” he said. Wynn Goering, vice provost of academic affairs, said he will present a way to ease UCAC’s burden to the Academic/Student Affairs and Research committee of the Board of Regents at their Oct. 28 meeting. He said his plan would streamline all methods of new student advisement throughout the University. “When enrollment’s grown faster than the funds to keep up, those are just the natural consequences,”
Goering said. He said that on top of the 10 advisers provided by UCAC, another 10 are available through other campus-wide institutions, like the ethnic centers and athletics, so streamlining these makeshift advising centers will cut the ratio in half. “Because we have a system where students by and large self-select where they want to get their advice … if a student walks through three different doorways and says, ‘What should I take?’ they ought to get basically the same answer,” Goering said. A comprehensive and consistent advising network would be created by making accessible an electronic advising history for all students, Goering said, and it will prevent students from “adviser-shopping.” “They go to one and they say,
‘Well, you really should do this’ and they say, ‘No, I really don’t like that,’” Goering said. “And they go to other (advisers) until they finally find someone who will tell them what they want to hear.” Goering also said the new LOBO Trax online progress report might mean students need less advisement. At their last meeting, the Board of Regents allocated $500,000 of new money to advising at UNM. Of that, $160,000 goes to UCAC, Goering said. Since UCAC’s operating budget is roughly $400,000, Harris said the money will ease the burden placed on UCAC advisers. “The budget is relatively small. Every department is in a budget crunch at this point,” she said. “Hopefully, with this funding, we’ll be able to hire more advisers.”
Pit,” McCormick said. There are several cardboard recycling bins near the dorms, and McCormick said students should use them until more substantial bins are provided. “The ones that I put near the dorms — they can put bottles and cans in a bin and they can also put cardboard or paper or anything else in the other bins,” McCormick said. Mary Clark, sustainability program specialist, said plans are underway to have “Green Dorm” competitions in the 2010 spring semester. A number of events will be held to increase environmental awareness, such as energysaving and recycling competitions. Clark said the idea for an Eco-Reps program received a positive response from on-campus residents like Jalbert when it was presented in August at the Living Green and Healthy event, hosted by Residence Life and Student Housing. “I asked Elyse if she would assist us in putting together an Eco-Reps program and she was very enthusiastic,” Clark said.
An American Studies class — taught by graduate assistant Andrew Marcum — promotes Research and Service Learning Projects and is also involved in the Eco-Reps, Clark said. Marcum contacted Clark about his RSLP class working to develop a campaign project that encourages recycling in the dorms, Clark said. All RSLP classes are required to plan a service project to help out the campus and surrounding communities. “So I suggested they write the EcoReps Program and suggested some materials for them to review,” Clark said. Clark said the Eco-Reps Program will get subject matter advice on sustainable alternatives. “The Office of Sustainability, PPD Recycling, and Lobo Energy Educators will provide training and support to the Eco-Reps,” Clark said. McCormick said other items such as batteries and ink jet cartridges can also be recycled in the bins near the dorms, but students should put these items in plastic bags before placing them in the bins.
Students can also recycle light bulbs by giving them to the custodians in the building, she said.
The Associated Press FRESNO, Calif. — Last month two men and their teenage sons tackled one of the world’s most unforgiving summertime hikes: the Grand Canyon’s parched and searing Royal Arch Loop. Along with bedrolls and freeze-dried food, the inexperienced backpackers carried a personal locator beacon — just in case. In the span of three days, the group pushed the panic button three times, mobilizing helicopters for dangerous, lifesaving rescues inside the steep canyon walls. What was that emergency? The

Esperanza. She also brought casseroles, salsa, rice and desserts for volunteers. “I really wanted to touch lives in Casa Esperanza because they impact peoples’ lives every day, and I wanted to be a part of that,” Miner said. Mothers Against Drunk Driving also held their annual walk-a-thon, “Walk like MADD,” during Make a Difference Day. Lora Lee Ortiz, executive director of MADD New Mexico, said having the walk on Make a Difference Day reminds everyone that a community-wide effort is necessary to reduce drunk driving. “The main issue is to make
people aware of the plan they should have for their lives,” she said. “One in three lives is affected by drunk driving. You have to make people aware of what they can do to give back and make sure that these situations are avoided.” Ortiz said she has been a part of this event for five years and will keep doing it for many more. “In order to make a community prosper, you have to consider all aspects,” Ortiz said. “You need to think ‘How can I give back to the community?’ By volunteering, we are able to make Albuquerque a place that really prospers and is a place that people want to live.”

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: On Sunday, senior Obama officials accused Fox News of pushing particular points of view and not being a real news network. Do you agree? Out of 159 respondents
Yes. Fox News is a wing of the Repub51% lican Party. Yes. The opposing voices in their sto18% ries are minimal. No. Fox News gives fair and balanced 13% reporting. No. Fox News has won the cable news ratings race for years now, and that 19% points to their integrity in the media.
THIS WEEK’S POLL: A Saudi court on Saturday convicted a female journalist for her involvement in a TV show in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex and showed sex toys. The journalist was sentenced to 60 lashes. Three other men who appeared on the show, “Bold Red Line,” were sentenced to two years imprisonment and 300 lashes each. Should we be culturally sensitive to these punishments? No. In America, we are free to discuss sex openly. We should use that power to help reform how the Saudi courts handle issues of sex.
DL
No. The punishment was cruel and unusual. Yes. They have a different, deeply ingrained value system. It is beyond our understanding to judge the Saudis. Yes. Sex has almost always been taboo in the world’s religions, and the men on the TV show knew this. They invited their own punishment by talking about sex, and it’s not our place to get concerned.

LETTERS Boom box man is an asset, not a distraction to students Editor, This is the first letter I have written to the newspaper because there has been nothing I felt so passionate about until now. Yesterday it was a seemingly normal Thursday while I walked past the SUB on my way to class, but something was off : Where I would usually hear the sound of house music playing, I heard nothing. I looked over to where the music usually comes from, and I saw the boom box and the man who owns the boom box, but could barely make out the music. So I decided to go over and talk to him and see why the music was so low. I don’t remember this man’s name and we’ve only talked a handful of times, but I have always been appreciative of his music. He told me that a professor had asked him to turn the
More alternative classes mean less traffic issues Editor, The recent Daily Lobo article on the construction of a new parking lot has drawn attention, yet again, to the University’s problems with traffic in and around the campus area. The public comment period for the proposed UNM Master Plan likewise yielded divided feedback on the University’s approach to traffic congestion, with respondents split between supporting public transportation and arguing against the expansion of a shuttle
Cut FSAE program and engineers will miss out Editor, As a former student member of the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers program, I was dismayed and outraged to find out that it’s at risk of being discontinued. This is one of the only programs in the entire country that gives engineering students academic credit for
music down, so he did out of courtesy while the professor was there, but then turned it up once he left because no one else there had complained to him about it. He said he would always turn it down if someone requests it. Well, the professor came back and he once again turned it down for him without having to be asked again. But the professor was upset that it had been turned up while he wasn’t there and told him that he speaks for the student body and believes by playing his music he is ruining the study environment. The professor put in a formal complaint to UNM and now the man who has always made my day a little more relaxing between tests might have to stop playing his music after playing it for 6 years. I have always considered it a nice treat to hear the music on the way to class or listen to it while eating lunch outside on the north side of the SUB. He plays mainly house music, an often misunderstood genre of electronic music. Many people consider it drug music or
not real music because it is electronic, but I don’t do any drugs and it is my favorite type of music; it means so much to me. I have spoken with many other students on campus who feel the same way and would be horrified to see the music leave. I can understand what the professor meant if that was the only place to study, but it isn’t. I have been downstairs in the SUB trying to study and people will be playing music from their computers and talking ridiculously loudly, but I don’t ask them to stop talking because their conversation might be as important as my studying. I just find another place to study. I am writing this letter to show that the professor does not speak for all of UNM. Like I said before, many UNM students agree with me. The professor’s opinion is valid, but I would hope we would all be able to come to a compromise and not lose the music.
system that already sees students forced to endure long wait times and crowded conditions. I’d like to propose an alternative solution: increased reliance on online and distance coursework. Some of the traffic congestion around the UNM area could be alleviated simply by increasing the University’s offerings of online or hybrid courses, particularly in high-interest subjects. My mother, for instance, is enrolled in only one course at UNM this semester, but she still has to drive down and park three times a week to attend class. Allowing students to take more classes online would ease the traffic burden at least a little, and allow commuters to spend more of their time studying and less
of it idling in traffic or waiting for shuttles. Furthermore, an expansion of online course offerings could alleviate some of UNM’s classroom space crunch without reducing the University’s income, allowing student body growth without the need for building infill. While the Master Plan aims to increase the number of students living on campus, there will always be those who already have a home and will be commuting no matter how many new dormitories go up. Why not make it easier for them to take the classes they want and alleviate the parking crunch at the same time?
designing, building and testing a race car. It’s an excellent, multifaceted project that supplies engineering students with the analytical and practical tools that they will need to be successful in the corporate world. It would truly be a terrible shame if this program was terminated due to a lack of funds. I am outraged because I believe that the University’s funds have been managed irresponsibly and in an unethical manner for a very long time. For instance, how is it possible that the University can afford to
cover the front facade of The Pit with glass panels but it cannot afford to fund the FSAE program? Why is it that this University’s president gets a large salary while some faculty members are struggling to make ends meet? I strongly encourage the Regents to resolve this problem in a timely manner. Otherwise, I suggest new leadership is needed.

Community unites to catch little girl’s killer by Tamara Lush
The Associated Press ORANGE PARK, Fla.— Investigators had more than a thousand tips but are still trying to figure out what happened when 7-year-old Somer Thompson disappeared on her walk home from a north Florida school last week. At a fundraiser Sunday for Somer’s family, children played in a bounce house as adults watched carefully. They vowed to find the girl’s killer and raised about $18,500 so her mother doesn’t have to go back to work immediately. Somer’s name and photo were everywhere at the carnival-like fundraiser, which was held in a treelined park in the town’s center. A silent raffle, a bake sale and even glittery makeovers for little girls were offered to help the family after the girl went missing after school Monday. Her body was found in a Georgia landfill Wednesday. “I’ve been crying since day one,” said Amanda Wendorff, a co-organizer of the fundraiser. “When it’s a child, it just touches a community.” Wendorff, the wife of a Clay County Sheriff’s deputy, has four children of her own. She urged people at the carnival to be on the lookout for anyone suspicious — underscoring the fear that is running deep in the community. Meanwhile, detectives from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies are combing through tips: more than 1,150 calls from people around the U.S. have poured in regarding the little girl. So far, no one has come forward
to say they saw the girl abducted or attacked. Investigators have ruled out all 161 registered sex offenders who lived within a 5-mile radius of Somer’s home. Thompson’s mother, Diena Thompson, has praised the hard work of investigators. “These detectives — excuse my language — are busting their (expletive) to find it. Because it’s an it,” Diena Thompson said Saturday, referring to the killer of her daughter. When reached by The Associated Press by phone Sunday, Thompson declined an interview. “I don’t want to think about doing any news until after I bury my baby,” she said. A public viewing and funeral are planned for Monday and Tuesday, but graveside services and the burial will be private. Dozens of mourners and supporters have held nightly vigils outside the Thompsons’ home, including on Sunday. They have gathered around a huge makeshift memorial of Hannah Montana balloons, stuffed animals and candles that have burned so long that the wax has melted into the grass. “I’m shocked that this could happen in this type of community,” Somer’s maternal great-grandmother, Marie Spires of New Richmond, Ohio, said Saturday. “And that no one would see or hear anything.” Diena Thompson said to the crowd gathered that she’s had “an amazing outporing of support” from the community. “All I want to happen is that my baby didn’t die in vain and that we catch him,” she said.

Tearful loss crushes chances for MWC title by Brandon Call Daily Lobo
The UNM volleyball team went toe-to-toe with No. 25 Colorado State on Saturday at Johnson Gym. Despite junior outside hitter Taylor Hadfield’s UNM 2 career-high 21 kills, the Lobos 3 CSU dropped a 3-2 — 25-18, 18-25, 25-20, 20-25, 15-11 — heartbreaker. The outcome brought tears of disappointment from several UNM players, but the hard-fought match drew a standing ovation from more than 2,000 fans in attendance. “We battled for it,” head coach Jeff Nelson said. “But we relied too heavily on one hitter. Four of our five hitters were way below their averages. We just needed one or two more players to step up, and we probably would have beaten them.” Four players recorded doubledigit kills for CSU. Danielle Minch and Megan Plourde paced the Rams with 14 kills each. UNM’s hitting numbers were less balanced. Sophomore middle

Volleyball vs. Air Force
Thursday 7 p.m. Colorado Springs “Our freshmen went out and played super aggressive,” Nelson said. “I loved it. They didn’t play like they were scared to lose to Colorado State again. They were the ones who were fearless.” With the loss, UNM falls to 14-8 overall and 5-5 in the Mountain West Conference. Meanwhile, Colorado State moves to 17-4 and 9-1. The loss all but eliminates the Lobos from MWC title contention and pushes their backs to the wall in the hunt for an NCAA Tournament berth. But Nelson said all is not lost. “At this point, we’ve got to take it one game at a time,” he said. “We’ve got to play each game tough and pick up some more wins.”

Nope, things down in Loboland are bad. Somewhere former head coach Rocky Long is laughing hysterically. I hate to say this, because I wasn’t a staunch Long supporter,
LOBO LIFE Placing an event in the Lobo Life calendar:
Ashley Rhoades managed 11 kills, but hit only .036. Junior outside hitter Lisa Meeter hit .065, senior outside hitter Rose Morris hit .050 and senior middle Anna Lehne hit .000. Only Hadfield’s .359 impressed. “Give CSU credit, they’re a really good blocking team,” Hadfield said. “But if you look at the numbers, we didn’t play up to our level. Our hitting was tentative, and we didn’t put down the balls when we needed to.” Still, Nelson did find some positives in the match. “We served and passed tough, which is great,” he said. “We stuck to our game plan, and never stopped fighting. I was especially impressed with our back-row defense, and I was happy to see us out-dig them.” Sophomore libero Allison Buck had an outstanding match with 18 digs and four assists, while freshmen Melissa Rohr and Jordan Russell also made notable contributions. Rohr, who started in place of sophomore Amy Wong, had a career-high 12 digs and a service ace. Russell chipped in four digs and a service ace of her own.
but I highly doubt a Long-coached team would flat-out quit like this. Those who know Long best tell me that one glare from the barrel-chested former head man was enough to make you cringe.
His point was made without an utterance. The same cannot be said of Locksley, obviously, or he wouldn’t have to throw a punch to make a statement.

UNLV leaves Lobos in losing streak by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
The Lobo Football team is supposed to be in the winning business. But judging by the first seven games, business ain’t a-boomin’. With the 34-17 loss to UNLV, the Lobos join the ranks of only four other teams who remain winless in Division I football this season. “Definitely, when you go 0-7, there is disappointment in the team,” linebacker Carmen Messina said. “But like I said before, the most important thing is for us to keep our chin up and keep on playing with our hearts.” At this point, the no-win club is even more exclusive than the no-loss club in Division I football. Seven teams remain in the hunt to finish their regular season with a perfect 12-0 record, compared with only five teams that have yet to put a tally mark in the win column. Eastern Michigan, Western Kentucky and the Lobos are all 0-7 this season. Miami Ohio and Rice University have yet to take their bye weeks, so they stand a week ahead — or behind — with eight losses. Eastern Michigan has gotten the closest to that all elusive first win. In the second game of the season, Northwestern dashed Eastern Michigan’s hopes for its first victory with a last-second field goal, edging the Eagles 27-24.
And on Saturday, Eastern Michigan faced what would be, most likely, the most beatable opponent for any of the five winless teams. The Eagles played conference rival Ball State, which going into the game was also 0-6. Ball State pulled themselves out of the infamous ranks of the no-win club with a 29-27 win. Eastern Michigan’s two shots and misses at victory can only be rivaled by the Lobos’ narrow loss to NMSU earlier in the season. The Aggies, 3-5 at this point, snatched their second victory when Lobo kicker James Aho pushed a last-second, game-tying field goal wide right. The Lobos fell 20-17. The Aggies game was the best shot the Lobos had at a win. It was the first and only time the Lobos went into the game as the frontrunner — a seven-point favorite. Oddsmakers also believed Saturday’s UNLV game pitted two evenly matched opponents, giving UNM a 2.5-point cushion early in the week and finally ending at even odds come game time. But the Lobos underperformed once again. “I felt the frustration in the second half, because there were definitely a lot of things that we were beating ourselves on,” Messina said. The Lobos still have five more games to rid themselves of the title of the third team in 90 years to go winless under the command of a

first-year head coach at UNM. Going into their final games, the Lobos face off against the top and bottom of the Mountain West Conference. The top of the conference is stacked with three teams that went into the weekend ranked in the top 20 in the nation — No. 8 TCU, No. 16 BYU and No. 18 Utah. By far, their toughest opponent will be No. 8 TCU, which solidified its ranking after its commanding 37-7 win over BYU on Saturday. At the bottom of the MWC barrel lays San Diego State and Colorado State. But SDSU has a 37-14 win over NMSU, a mutual opponent of the Lobos. It is also coming off a win against Colorado State. And at this point, Colorado State sits at the bottom of the MWC with an 0-4 record. To be fair, the Rams went into conference play facing off against the MWC “Big Three.” But getting any win at this point — no matter what the ranking — will be a task, said George Barlow, who was UNM’s interim head coach on Saturday. “It’s going to be tough, but we are going to get back to the grind,” he said. “We are going to try to have the same focus we had last week, have four good days of practice and try to play four good quarters and give ourselves a chance to win.”

Players’ enthusiasm delivers Dallas win by Jaime Aron
The Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — Tony Romo is running around and having fun again, and Miles Austin is the reason for it. Romo returned to his swashbuckling style, keeping drives alive by improvising and turning one near-disaster into a touchdown, and Austin proved his breakout game was no fluke by coming up with big play after big play, leading the Dallas Cowboys to a 37-21 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. With Romo and Austin bringing the offense to life and the defense giving up little more than long drives at the start of each half, the Cowboys (4-2) roared out of their bye with their most impressive win of the season and first against a
team with a winning record. The Falcons (4-2) came in looking to keep pace with the best start in franchise history. Matt Ryan started great, but couldn’t keep it up. His streak of 142 passes without a sack ended with takedowns on consecutive plays in the first quarter. He was sacked four times, threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. Romo was 21 of 29 for 311 yards and three touchdowns. As dazzling as Austin was on his scores of 59 and 22 yards, Romo might’ve topped him on his other TD throw, a 5-yarder to Patrick Crayton. Only a few seconds were left in the first half and Dallas was out of timeouts, so Romo couldn’t afford to take a sack — and didn’t, spinning off two grabs by defenders and popping up to find Crayton open in the end zone.

Interim coach: Defeat due to lack of momentum by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
Subtracting head coach Mike Locksley from the mix didn’t add up to a win for the UNM football team. After a 14point Lobo UNLV 34 surge in the UNM 17 third quarter, which cut the deficit to 24-17 in favor of UNLV, a punt from Kyle Watson bounced off the leg of UNM returner Bryant Williams. UNLV recovered on the Lobos’ 11-yard line, and two plays later with 11:39 left in the game, quarterback Mike Clausen ran for a 4-yard touchdown. The score put the Rebels up 31-17 and killed all momentum the Lobos had. The loss puts UNM at 0-7 overall and 0-3 in Mountain West Conference while the Rebels move to 3-5 overall and 1-3 in the MWC. George Barlow, who served as UNM’s interim head coach for the game, said the Lobos came out in the second half with more energy. But the Lobos were down 21-3 at the midway point. “I thought the kids continued to fight,” Barlow said. “But the thing we need to do is quit beating ourselves. We had some penalties and the fumble on the punt. Those little things continue to kill out momentum.” Together, UNLV quarterback
Omar Clayton and wide receiver Ryan Wolfe sucked all the positive energy out of University Stadium. On the opening drive of the game, Clayton went 4-of-4 for 38 yards and an eight-yard touchdown toss to Phillip Payne for a 7-0 Rebel lead. On a 1st-and-10 with 4:13 left in the second quarter, Wolfe became the Mountain West Conference’s all-time reception leader. Clayton connected to Wolfe on a 6-yard flat route that gave him 263 career receptions, surpassing San Diego State’s J.R. Tolver. Wolfe finished with 11 receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown. Later in the second quarter, Wolfe went one-on-one with linebacker Evan Jacobson. Wolfe split down the middle of the field and caught a 28-yard touchdown pass to put the Rebels up 21-3 with 4:09 left in the second quarter. Defensively, UNM gave up 423 yards to the Rebels and looked a step slow in catching up the Rebels’ nifty offensive packages. However, Lobo quarterback Donovan Porterie played his best football of the season, leading two long scoring drives. He finished 20of-30 for 219 yards and tossed two touchdowns and no interceptions. On the first drive of the second half, Porterie managed a 10play, 80-yard drive, capped by a

Porterie-to-Daryl Jones 25-yard hookup that cut the Rebel lead to 21-10. After two UNLV possessions that resulted in a punt and a missed field goal, Porterie connected with tight
end Lucas Reed for a 13-yard touchdown which capped a 79-yard drive. Reed’s score cut the Rebel lead to seven, 24-17, but it was the last points of the night for UNM. “I think from a personal
standpoint, I was able to do some things running wise,” Porterie said. “By me running the ball more off a few option plays, we opened up a few things in the passing game and we were able to put up points.”

Lobos’ performance warrants disrespect by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
Gabbi Campos / Daily Lobo UNLV wide receiver Ryan Wolfe hurdles over Lobo safety Frankie Baca in Saturday’s 34-17 drubbing at University Stadium. Wolfe had 11 receptions for 118 yards.
P.J. Wilson Men’s soccer Wilson found the back of the net in the Lobos’ win over Denver, breaking a 1-1 tie in the waning minutes of the first period. The goal held up throughout the game, and the lobos received some redemption after being knocked off the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation podium last year by the Pioneer
All preliminary evidence points to one thing: Right now, the UNM football team is as malleable as soft-serve. It’s too bad the Lobos don’t play on Sunday, because they would go well with hot fudge. If that was the Lobos’ Homecoming, I’d rather they stay on the road. End result: 34-17, UNLV. Without head coach GoldiLocks(ley) — away on Saturday as part of a 10-day suspension for his involvement in an altercation with wide receivers coach J.B. Gerald — the Lobos were still the Bad News Bears, this time the simplicity of a punt-return exchange in the fourth quarter damaging UNM’s comefrom-behind surge. Fair catch, anyone? “Really, that was just a lack of communication between the two,” said interim head coach George Barlow. “We always talk to those guys about how we can’t let the ball hit the ground.” Best believe bad things happen to bad teams. “I wouldn’t say we’re a bad team,” said wide receiver Daryl Jones. “But we have to find a way to get everything rolling and get everything right.” Yeah, and I would venture to say
Athletes of the
week
nobody has a clue what’s wrong with the Lobos — not the coaches, nor the players. But I have a hunch. Good luck getting them to admit this, but Saturday the Lobos looked like a team that’s conceded the season. Naturally, as a coping mechanism alone, teams that lose in bunches by bunches become desensitized to the agony of defeat. It becomes an accepted fate. And the lack of effort on Saturday, especially on defense, was a testament to this. At one point during the game, UNM allowed the Rebels — a now 3-5 team, whose head coach, Mike Sanford, has less job security than a journalist after his teams have consistently underperformed for years — to gain an average of almost 7 yards a pop. The Rebels ran an eclectic mix of misdirection plays and oddball formations, specifically the “Pistol,” where the quarterback lined up in a shortened shotgun with the running back 2 or 3 yards behind him. That — and the constant overpursuit on the part of the Lobo linemen and backers — enabled quarterbacks Omar Clayton and Mike Clausen to scurry around for 78 combined yards rushing, with Clayton averaging 15.3 per dash. UNM made Clayton, an
able-bodied, but by no means overly athletic QB, look bedazzling, like the second coming of Michael Vick. Worse, collectively, UNLV gained 210 via the ground, a marked 103-yard improvement on its season average. Barlow insisted the Lobos weren’t duped by the unusual formations the Rebels operated in, and he openly refused to blame UNM’s gutless performance on genuine indifference, saying the players had a “good look in their eyes.” Look, don’t believe it for a second. Case in point: Had it not been for UNLV choosing to take a knee on the Lobos’ 5-yard line, the game already decided, UNM would have let up a touchdown in the waning seconds. If I were Sanford, I would’ve given the Bill Belichick go-ahead and proceeded to score on the Lobos. My philosophy has always been: Don’t respect those who don’t respect themselves. If you’re the Lobos, in that type of situation, you have to have the self dignity to stop the opposing team from marching it down, especially when said team isn’t making an effort to score, yet reels off 17 yards to get into scoring position.
