UNM journal aids grad students in publishing by Jessica Hitch jehitch@unm.edu
UNM students founded an online journal that they said they hope will connect graduate students across the nation. Graduate students Lindsay Ives and Leah Sneider launched a peer-reviewed journal, called In Progress this semester. It is the only journal in the country dedicated solely to graduate students, Sneider said. “(Ives) and I often chatted about some of the challenges we faced as graduate students,” she said. “We mentioned that a graduate student journal focused on these discussions would help supplement our coursework and better prepare us for those challenges, and since we couldn’t find such a journal, we decided to create one on our own.” Through the journal’s website, Ives said she hopes to create a national

interdisciplinary community for graduate students. “We hope that In Progress will eventually gain a readership broad enough and influential enough to impact the way graduate programs are run and the way people think about graduate study,” she said. Ives said the journal provides graduate students with opportunities to get published. “Because this is a brand new journal,

Platypus genes’ could treat human diseases Athlete pleaded guilty in DWI case by Luke Holmen
news@dailylobo.com
Researchers at UNM found new genes in certain marsupial mammals such as, a duck billed platypuses. The researchers said the new genes may lead to new treatments and diagnostic tools for human diseases. The T-cell is a type of white blood cell that protects humans from invading pathogens using its receptors. Scientists thought only two kinds of T-cell receptors existed until UNM researchers found a new receptor while studying the immune systems of certain marsupial mammals, biology professor Robert Miller said. “We can find genes in there that are missing from us that suggest there is a whole set of new T-cells,” he said. “T-cells perform a variety of functions, some are killer cells, helper cells, some are found in circulation and the skin; there are many subtypes.” A report on the discovery was published this month in the Journal of Immunology. In their ongoing research, scientists seek to discover why humans don’t have the T-cell receptors found in marsupial mammals. “Is there another cell doing the same job in us, so we don’t need them?” Miller said. “We won’t be able to figure that out until we know what these cells do in these other animals.” Miller said researchers have discovered antibodies in other animals, such as camels, that have proven useful in treating human illnesses. “In terms of practical applications, it could be a wide variety of things,” he said. “We think these T-cells recognize threats in a very different way than ours do. We can use them from a diagnostic or therapeutic standpoint. There is the potential for developing treatments from them.”

Platitudes on the Platypus •The platypus is best described as a hodgepodge of more familiar species: the duck (bill and webbed feet), beaver (tail), and otter (body and fur). •Male platypuses are venomous. They have sharp stingers on the heels of their rear feet.
•Platypuses are carnivorous bottom feeders. They scoop up insects, larvae, shellfish and worms in their bill along with bits of gravel and mud. Platypuses do not have teeth, so the bits of gravel help them to chew their meal.
•The platypus is one of only two mammals (the echidna is the other) that lay eggs. •The platypus is unique to Australia. •All information is from nationalgeographic.com
UNM men’s basketball team player Chad Adams pleaded guilty to DWI first offense on Wednesday. Adams was arrested for DWI, careless driving and driving on a suspended license May 1. His other charges were dismissed after he pleaded guilty. Adams’ attorney Ben Ortega said Adams could have beaten the charges, but Adams wanted to set a good example by pleading guilty. “Mr. Adams decided to plead guilty against my advice,” Ortega told the Albuquerque Journal. “I could have gotten him acquitted of these charges … A person has a right to be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That’s their constitutional right … However, a person also has a right to take a guilty plea if their personal choices and their personal

Oct. 28, Tires slashed near Clark Hall A student reported that her car tires were slashed at Clark Hall. She left her car parked behind a white sedan because she was running late, according to police reports. The student provided UNMPD with a handwritten incident report, but no leads have been reported, police said.
Oct. 31, ‘Loud’ fight worries roommate A student called UNMPD officers to Lobo Village after hearing her roommate and a male friend arguing in another room, according to police reports. The student reported she heard what sounded like someone being slapped and her roommate said “stop.” The roommate said the argument was only verbal and both she and the male friend said there had been no physical altercation, police said. The report states the roommate did not have any marks on her face or arms to indicate she had been slapped. Because the male friend was not a resident, he was asked to leave and not return. According to the police report, a Lobo Village manager said this was the second incident in which the man in question was involved.
Nov. 3, ‘Singing or yelling’ leads to arrest A student was arrested and taken to jail Nov. 3 after yelling and disturbing people in Smith Plaza, the police report said. The student, who was standing on the south side of Zimmerman Library was “yelling or singing” when UNMPD located him, police said. The student had a prior warrant out for his arrest and was taken to the APD prisoner transport center without incident.
NM elementary teacher Wanted suspect found at held for trafficking coke NMSU branch campus LAS CRUCES, N.M. — A Las Cruces elementary school teacher has been arrested at his elementary school on allegations of trafficking cocaine. Dona Ana County Sheriff ’s Department said 35-year-old Roberto Varela was arrested Thursday just before classes began at Loma Heights Elementary. Authorities say no children were present during his arrest. Deputies said Varela’s arrest came after a sting operation and a month-long investigation. He was booked on into the Dona Ana County Detention Center on one charge of cocaine trafficking and is being held on a $10,000 bond. It was unclear if he had hired an attorney.
Some criminal cases in Rio Arriba County at risk A few serious criminal cases in Rio Arriba County are in jeopardy because the law enforcement certification of a sergeant involved in the investigations is in doubt. The Albuquerque Journal reports Sheriff’s Sgt. Vince Crespin has been arresting people, even though his law enforcement certification was suspended in August. The suspension by the state Law Enforcement Academy Board remains in effect, according to a spokesman for the agency. But a spokesman for Rio Arriba Sheriff Tommy Rodella says the sheriff believed Crespin could continue working as a full-fledged officer while he appealed the suspension in court. Defense attorneys, with clients charged in separate cases, including a drive-by shooting, burglary and DWI plan to look into the case closely because the charging officer had no authority to make arrests. The District Attorney’s Office acknowledges that Crespin’s recent cases may be in trouble.

CARLSBAD, N.M. — A drug task force in southeast New Mexico has picked up a man wanted on drug charges. Pecos Valley Drug Task Force Commander Carroll Caudill says they arrested 44-year-old David Gomez Martinez on the New Mexico State University-Carlsbad campus Wednesday. Caudill says agents learned that Martinez was on the campus. Martinez is listed as an absconder on the New Mexico Corrections Department website. A news release says Martinez was found to be in possession of heroin, marijuana, crack cocaine and methadone tablets. Agents said Martinez was arrested immediately and taken to the Eddy County Detention Center for booking. He remains incarcerated pending an appearance in court. Caudill said the investigation continues and more arrests are expected.

feelings about having a trial are such that they would rather take accountability for what happened.” Adams’ sentence includes a year’s probation, 24 hours of community service and alcohol screening and treatment programs. UNM’s head coach Steve Alford handed down his own set of
punishments to his player. Adams is not allowed to own a car for the rest of his athletic career with the Lobos. Alford also stripped Adams of his scholarship, and required Adams to make a public apology and serve 20 hours of community service.
Crowd riots after Paterno’s dismal The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Investigators were reviewing video footage and identified numerous suspects who could be charged with riot, attempted arson or other counts after a peaceful demonstration over the firing of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno turned unruly. Crowds toppled a television news van and at least one photographer was pelted with a rock when thousands of people gathered in downtown State College late Wednesday, police said. “The crowd initially was a peaceful demonstration against Coach Paterno’s firing. The crowd quickly turned from a peaceful demonstration to a riotous mob,” State College police said in a statement Thursday. “The mob attempted to light vehicles on fire, and tore down light posts and street signs.” Some people threw rocks, bottles

and hard objects at police and citizens, authorities said. In the statement, police estimated the crowd totaled as many as 4,000 to 5,000 people and that officers made numerous orders to disperse, but eventually had to use pepper spray. About 100 police officers were downtown, many wearing helmets. Authorities did not say how many arrests had been made. Paterno had announced earlier Wednesday that he planned to retire after the season and expressed remorse for not having done more after he learned of sex-abuse allegations that had been lodged against a former longtime assistant coach. On Wednesday night, the board of trustees announced his immediate firing. Meanwhile, a group that advocates for the rights of people abused

by Catholic priests released a statement cautioning Paterno’s supporters to think about the consequences of their actions. “As for the students who are rallying around Paterno, we hope university officials will ask them to consider the anguish their actions
are causing the victimized children as well as other members of their community who are victims of sexual violence,” BishopAccountability.org said in the statement. “To observers of the Catholic crisis, this phenomenon is sadly familiar,” the group said. “The students
are similar to the parishioners who rally around abusive priests and complicit bishops. This kind of deference to powerful authority figures helps create a culture in which victims are silenced and officials feel entitled to hide crimes rather than calling the police.

Job help approved for veterans by Alan Fram
The Associated Press WASHINGTON — On Veterans Day eve, an uncharacteristically unified Senate emphatically passed a bill to help unemployed veterans and government contractors that includes the first, small slivers of President Barack Obama’s jobs agenda that he is likely to sign into law. Thursday’s 95-0 vote gave lawmakers the opportunity to fly home to holiday events and boast about helping veterans and protecting jobs. But it did little to help close the scorching partisan divide over how to revive the gasping economy, an issue that seems sure to decide next year’s presidential and congressional elections. “We deal with a lot of contentious issues here, but this should not be one of them,” said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., a leading sponsor of the veterans’ provisions. The legislation would award tax credits of up to $9,600 to companies that hire disabled veterans who have been job-hunting for at least half a year and strengthen employment counseling and training programs for vets and troops about to leave the military. It also would erase a law, yet to take effect, requiring federal, state and local government agencies
to withhold 3 percent of their payments to companies with which they conduct business. That law was enacted under President George W. Bush to nudge companies to fully pay their taxes, but lawmakers now say it would fence off money those firms could better use to hire more workers. The House is expected to approve the bill resoundingly next week, which would send it to Obama. The president’s signature would make the veterans tax credits the first fragment of his $447 billion jobs package to be enacted. Those tax credits would cost $90 million over the next decade, according to White House estimates. Obama also has supported annulling the withholding requirement on contractors’ payments. The rest of the president’s jobs plan, which is highlighted by payroll tax cuts and money for infrastructure projects and hiring teachers and police officers, has foundered. There are about 240,000 unemployed veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, around 12 percent of those who served there, the White House says. A total of 850,000 veterans overall are out of work, and 1 million additional service members are expected to return to civilian life by 2016,
according to White House data. “No veteran who fought for our nation should have to fight for a job when they come home,” Obama said in a written statement after the vote that also called on Congress to approve additional jobs proposals.

School work load frightens yet rewards grad student by Carrie Cutler
Daily Lobo Columnist Ever see a movie where the camera is placed in front of a runaway truck? The careening hunk of metal swerves right and left as your heart hammers in your chest and ends up hitting and covering the camera, with a horrific crunch and squeal, bouncing to a rest while you take a breath. For graduate students, that’s the pace of a semester. This is the part of the semester where I, and probably many other graduate students, have to grit our teeth and think about something else. In my case, this period allows me to reflect on the material gains and the intellectual gains I hope to make with this degree. I suppose it goes without saying that I hope, some day, to be able to afford a house and a car. I hope, at some point, to be able to pay my bills easily, and be able to afford vacations and insurance. Those are absolutely incentives; I’m looking forward to a professional job, if I can find one, and professional pay. I almost can’t imagine what that’s like; I’ve made $10-16 a year most of my adult life. For the day-to-day discouragements and frustrations that are a part of graduate school, however, the far future doesn’t quite ease the toll for me. What does is the following set of small incentives. First, I am actually quite fond of the material. This degree gives me the opportunity to read theorists I would not otherwise be exposed to, and the chance to see what I am capable of. The material itself, or at least some of it, is interesting and useful. As a student, I have access to millions of dollars in research, a privilege that people who are not students pay hundreds of dollars a year to have. I can endlessly satisfy my curiosity on any subject, at any time of day or night that I have Internet access, limited only by what I can understand. With a little work, what I can understand can always become a broader category. I find that I am fascinated by certain sets of skills, and that I have a continuous set of little rewards just based on the act of solving tricky math problems, or trying to construct a model for a behavior or trying to use an intensely abstract model to talk about the potential causes for some behavior. The act of creating something like that makes me feel like I have accomplished something. It’s not a large feeling, just a sort of slow satisfaction. The converse is also true; when I don’t understand, it pisses me off. In response, I read more and try again. I find that I am oddly grateful to be in the classroom. Perhaps, as a friend of mine is fond of saying, the ‘shiny’ will wear off. Perhaps I will cease to be excited as time goes on and I settle into a routine, but right now I am grateful to be in the group I am in, learning and given opportunity to talk to people with whom I can get into interesting discussions. I am grateful to be given the chance to be challenged, given a chance to see what I am capable of. I am grateful to get a chance to demonstrate how seriously I think I should be taken, though I am very aware that I cannot make anyone take me seriously. My ego is functional enough to know that much, and like many PhD students, I vacillate between feeling stupid and happy surprise when I ‘get it.’ I have actually done a ‘victory lap’ of my living room and punched the air in excitement. The work load can be impossible, but even when I’m ready to toss my textbooks at the wall and take up waiting tables again, I am reminded of this by all of these factors: not bad, for a working class woman. I count the act of being in graduate school as a personal win.

Brit embraces American English by Amy Dicketts
Daily Lobo Columnist
Imagine, if you can, that your whole life you had been deceived. Tricked into thinking you were something you weren’t. And then suddenly, nineteen years into this deception the truth comes to light in a cruel and painful manner. All my life I foolishly believed that I was speaking English. That somehow by being born in England and having England registered as my home country and mother tongue on all official documents guaranteed that the language I was speaking was English. And then I came to America. No one understood a word. Trying to argue that Americans speak English and the fact that I come from England, the originator of this noble language, automatically means that I am using the right words, does not wash in a country of around 310 million all saying sweater when I am saying jumper. Suddenly a handbag becomes a purse, a purse becomes a wallet, pants become something you wear on the outside, not the underneath, and no one bats an eyelid at an area being called Nob Hill. (If you want to know why there is always an English person sniggering when someone mentions Nob Hill, ask them what a knob translates to in English.) Until I came to America I did not realise the extent of the language barrier I would be facing and I definitely wasn’t prepared for the fact that the language I had been speaking all my life was not always considered “English” by Americans. Thankfully, my close friends have become accustomed to my eccentric turns of phrase and have now found themselves in the position of full-time translators for me whenever we are
Broadband Internet can stimulate employment
Editor, As we focus our attention on creating jobs, we should acknowledge an important resource that can further our efforts to employ residents here in New Mexico. That resource is broadband Internet and it can play a huge role in stimulating employment. Internet is the main tool that my company, Just Dine In Deliveries, uses to generate income and growth. In fact, without broadband Internet, my company would not exist. We are a restaurant marketing and delivery service based in Albuquerque and we market and coordinate

out in public. They become particularly helpful when trying to navigate the bus system of Albuquerque: “Does the bus drop us off at the car park by the shopping centre?” “She means the parking lot by the mall.” I dread to imagine which depths of gang-land Albuquerque I would have found myself in without my trusty translator. Other times it is not the language but the sheer thickness of my London accent that stumps unsuspecting Americans. Whilst my friends are used to trying to decipher words and meanings out of my peculiar London lilt, it completely blindsides most people, such as the woman in Dunkin’ Donuts who, after her third attempt at understanding my request for a bottle of water (instead of a “baadle uv waader”) gave up and handed me a doughnut. On these occasions my English friends and I have developed a new survival technique: if all else fails, put on an American accent. However, recently I have found this trick starting to backfire. Its official: I’ve become Americanized with a capital Zee. Suddenly I am greeting friends with calls of “Haaaaaay Girrrrrll”, referring to everyone as “this b****” and agreeing to everything said with a simple “seriously.” I feel like I could comfortably put ‘bilingual’ on my C.V. (résumé) without
batting an eyelid. The new language possibilities opened up to me are endless. I now have a thousand new words at my disposal to describe an ever-astounding world. Instead of finding it a limitation to not be understood in my own language it has just helped me to find new ways of communicating with people on their level. Multiculturalism isn’t something to be feared; it is something to be embraced, as a way to open up your mind to a million new possibilities for expression, both linguistically and culturally. Having an accent has also meant that I have made so many more friends — even if none of them have a clue what I’m saying, and I’m pretty sure half of them think I’m Australian. Although many outsiders are quick to brand Americans as close-minded, I have found this country to be one of the most open and embracing of foreignness. I am never without someone to talk to, and every day I meet a new person who wants to learn something about a different culture. Despite the painful language/accent-barrier, being different has allowed me to meet so many more people, all fascinated with the fact that they can’t understand a word I am saying. And I like to think that before I leave I will have given something back to the American language. I have started to hear my American friends say things with just the slightest hint of an English accent and a few of them have even ordered chips instead of fries. It is amazing to see first-hand how much language is a living thing, altered by people and surroundings. So if you hear someone who is feeling lazy or unbothered saying ‘mehh,’ just know that it came from this English girl.
Letter delivery of food from mom-and-pop shops in town to individuals and companies. Using broadband Internet, we take orders, call restaurants to confirm orders and then email orders to drivers’ cell phones for them to pick up and deliver. Without broadband we wouldn’t be able to receive these orders let alone arrange for delivery of them. If customers don’t have Internet access, they can’t go online and order from our website. We are therefore limited to where Internet service is deployed. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 23 percent of households in New Mexico don’t have access to the Internet (October 2010). This statistic is troubling given that jobs can be created by making broadband more acces-
sible. As more New Mexicans get hooked up to the Internet, my company can create more and more opportunities for drivers and administrative staff. We have expanded to a network of 15 individual affiliates and employees and we are certainly hoping to continue growing. What’s more, when customers order from us, they give local restaurants business, adding incremental sales to restaurants’ “bottom lines.” None of this would be possible without broadband Internet. Let’s do everything we can to support its deployment throughout New Mexico. Ron Patel Founder and Owner of Just Dine In Deliveries UNM community member

Notre Dame game causes a sense of déjà vu by Thomas Romero-Salas tromeros@unm.edu
After losing in the first round of the NCAA tournament last year, the time for redemption draws near for the women’s soccer team. UNM faces the No. 2 seed of their region, the No. 9 UCLA Bruins in their second-straight NCAA tournament. Last year the Lobos fell in their NCAA tournament appearance to eventual champion Notre Dame, 3-0. Senior midfielder Jael Fanning, who was named First-Team Academic All-District on Wednesday, said this year the team looks better fit to take on UCLA. “Last time they were really good at attacking and they had the will to win,” Fanning said. “They attacked pretty hard, but we’ve come a long way since our freshman year as a senior class and we’re ready for the challenge.” The Bruins concluded the regular season 15-1-3, finishing second in the Pac-10, its only loss to No. 2 Stanford. The Lobos are on a five-game winning streak of its own since tying Wyoming on Oct. 14. The streak helped UNM accumulate a 12-4-4 record overall along with the Mountain West Conference regular season and tournament title. Junior midfielder Rachel Montoya said the momentum the Lobos had
over the course of the season will help them against the Bruins. “Going undefeated (in conference) into this game is really good for us because we have that feeling that we haven’t lost and we want to keep on going and keep playing,” Montoya said. Fanning said the experience against the Fighting Irish helped UNM improve from last season and the stiffer competition they faced over the course of this season as well. “Notre Dame was a phenomenal team,” she said. “It was a good experience playing them; they played at a different pace. They played really quick and were beyond aggressive.” Montoya said the team is different than last year because of the experience they gained in playing Notre Dame in last season’s NCAA tournament. “We definitely feel a lot of emotion right now,” she said. “We played Notre Dame last year, which was a great for us, and we got our nerves out by making our first appearance in the NCAA tournament.”

For the men’s basketball team it’s not a road to March Madness so much as it’s a direct flight to the tournament. It’s been two years since the Lobos took that same magical ride to the NCAA championships after the 2009 Lobo team’s school record of 30 wins. The Lobos finished 30-5, including an incredible 14-game MWC win streak. They were ranked No. 8 in the nation and received a No. 3 seed to the NCAA Tournament. The team was the talk of the town and a sweet-16 appearance seemed inevitable. Unfortunately for Lobo fans, the postseason ride lasted about as long as Kim Kardashian’s marriage. The Lobos went home after their loss to the No. 11 seed Washington in the second round. The 2010-2011 team stalled out on the side of the road. The Lobos won just 22 games, hardly recordbreaking, and missed out on a bid

into the tournament. Senior guard Phillip McDonald, who was a sophomore for the season the Lobos went 30-5, said the current squad is just as talented, but more experienced — and he’s got a point. Since last season, Alford has recruited sophomore guards Kendall Williams and Tony Snell and sophomore forward Cameron Bairstow. Sophomore guard Demetrius Walker and senior forward Drew Gordon both transferred to UNM, Walker from Arizona State and Gordon from UCLA. For Gordon’s size, the 6-foot-9-inch athlete demonstrates on the court a remarkable level of agility that no player on the 2009 team could match. Between the upperclassmen from the 2009 team and the recruits and transfers new to the Lobos this year, the squad appears rife with potential. Furthermore, the MWC lost two of UNM’s biggest rivals. With the absence of Utah and Brigham Young University and four of the five starters from last year’s
powerhouse San Diego State no longer on the team, UNM was almost unanimously named the preseason favorite to win the conference. In non-conference play the Lobos don’t play a single team in all the preseason top 25 polls. And the Lobos look healthy. For the first game of the season, with the exception of sophomore post Alex Kirk, the entire roster is in good physical form. But McDonald is notoriously injury-prone, and Gordon has already banged up his knee twice in preseason. I predict the Lobos finish the 2011 season with at least 28 wins under their belts, but with this year’s unique level of talent I wouldn’t rule out another historical year for UNM men’s basketball. The Lobos have a straight, no transfers and no stops ride to March Madness, but the real questions are, how long will the ride be, and where does it get off?

Laurisa Galvan / Daily Lobo Sophomore guard Kendall Williams drives to the ball to basket in a game against Davenport last week at the Pit. UNM was picked to finish first in the MWC this season.
by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com The men’s basketball team goes in blind for the first regular season game. Head coach Steve Alford said it will be a strange game because the University of New Orleans has yet to play this year, and therefore no scouting report exists on the team as of yet. “You don’t know them as well as you are going to know teams you will be playing two weeks from now,” he said. “We have to go into this game being who we are and do what we do.” Senior forward Drew Gordon said because the Lobos are unfamiliar with their upcoming opponent, they will have to adjust to how the Privateers play during the game. “I think it brings out the natural basketball,” he said. “You can’t scout them and learn their tendencies before they actually play. I think it’s going to be interesting to see how we adapt to not having the team really well-scouted beforehand.” UNM is ranked just outside of the top 25 in the preseason polls and they beat Davenport 92-54 and West-
s
ern New Mexico 99-68 in its two preseason games. The Lobos play seven games in November, and after playing New Orleans, the Lobos face New Mexico State and Arizona State in quick succession. Then they travel to Anaheim for the 76 Classic tournament where they will face some of the top teams in the country. Alford said they need to use these early games to make sure the team starts improving as much as it can. “We just got to make sure with the opponents we are playing. We have to make sure we are getting better each week,” he said.

Rematch starts new season by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com The women’s basketball team is young and nervous, but head coach Yvonne Sanchez said the Lobos are eager for a rematch against Red Raider Nation. The Lobos lost their opener last year to Texas Tech at home 80-53. Head coach Yvonne Sanchez said it’s her job to be prepared regardless of the team’s nerves. “It’s a very good opponent, and you want to be perfect, but you know these kids are still learning,” she said. “It’s that time of the year, and it’s game time coming up. We have to be ready.” Sanchez will be coaching her first game as head coach for the Lobos since she took over after former coach Don Flanagan retired last April. Sanchez has been an assistant coach at UNM since 2000. This season UNM won their preseason game against New Mexico Highlands 65-45. She said she is nervous before the start of every game and coaching her first game at UNM will be no different. “I used to have jitters before every game anyway, whether I was a player or a coach, so that will come with every game,” Sanchez said. “Once the game starts you are in your element and you have to go by instinct.” Sanchez pointed out that Texas Tech’s main source of offensive production will be their 6-feet-3inch centers. Junior guard Jourdan Erskine said the team needs to work together to stop the other team’s centers from getting the ball. “We definitely have to stop them,” she said. “They are big, so my fellow post players and I need to make sure we are talking and letting everyone know what’s going on.” Erskine said the team is ready to go out and win this season’s opener on the Red Raiders’ court. “It’s a challenge; we are going to see where we are at,” she said. “We are up for it and we are ready to bring that win back and beat them down there.” The Lobos are without junior guard Sara Halasz who will miss the entire season because of an ACL tear last month. Halasz was an All-MWC first
Daily Lobo File Photo Junior guard Caroline Drubin lays up the ball in a game against New Mexico Highlands last Saturday at the Pit. The Lobos open their season on the road at Texas Tech this weekend. team preseason selection. Sanchez said injuries were a major issue this year with the entire team so she cut back on the physical practices. “I try to preserve them as much as possible, but now it’s game time,” she said. “It is a concern, and it’s going to be a concern all year to see how healthy we are.” Halasz’s injury means junior guard Jayme Jackson takes over the responsibility of bringing the ball up the court. Jackson said she knows Texas Tech plans to put a lot of pressure on her because she’s never brought the ball up court before.
“Personally for me it’s going to be no turnovers,” Jackson said. “If I can handle the pressure I can make it easier for my team. … Bringing up the ball is something new for me, but I think I can handle it.”

Star shines again despite injury by Cesar Davila
Phillip McDonald, known as P-Mac to Lobo fans, is finally injury free and is literally a big man on campus. The 6-foot-5-inch guard is one of three seniors on the Lobos, including forwards Drew Gordon and A.J. Hardeman. McDonald said this team is just as talented as the 30-5 squad that made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2009. McDonald was plagued by a nagging elbow injury that affected his shooting. He said he hopes to return to form as a dynamic shooter and rebounder. He averaged 10.9 points per game last season — a slight improvement from the 10.4 he averaged in 2009. With a healthy body, those numbers could improve greatly he said.
“I’m not quite there yet because I still have pain there,” McDonald said. “That’s not going to come until later on.” Earlier this year, McDonald became a father to a boy and said his son has helped him grow up. “It definitely made me mature and it taught me how to balance my time between basketball, my family and my teammates,” McDonald said. In fact, the usually quiet, low-key guard from Cypress, Texas found a voice with his teammates. “He’s definitely trying to speak up and be a vocal leader,” Gordon said. “He’s definitely stepped up in his role on the team and it’s good to see.” In high school he was a top-100 player in the country according to rivals.com and scout.com. McDonald started all 33 games as a freshman and has started in 98 of his

DAILY LOBO new mexico
Nov. 11 - vs. New Orleans:
It’s the opening game of the regular season, and UNO head coach Mark Slessinger was an assistant coach at Northwestern State when the No. 14 Demons upset Alford’s No. 3 Iowa Hawkeyes in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2006. Nov. 16 - vs. New Mexico State: It’s the state rivalry game. That’s the only reason you need.
Jan. 18 - vs. San Diego State:
The Aztecs were last year’s MWC champion. If you’re going to be the champ, you have to beat the champ.
Feb. 18 - vs. UNLV:
UNM’s biggest threat in the MWC this season. The game will be nationally televised on CBS, so you have no excuse not to watch.
March 3 - vs. Boise State:
It’s the last game of the regular season and probably senior night, and it’s also the first conference meeting between schools.
100 games played at UNM. He needs 46 points this season to become the 29th Lobo to score 1,000 points in a career and is on pace to finish in the top 20 in all-time scoring. McDonald is also 10th all time in threepoint field goals with 160. Head coach Steve Alford said McDonald has become more than just a shooter since his freshman year. “He’s turned into a very solid defender,” Alford said. “His ball handling ability has gotten better. His leadership ability has gotten better. So we’re very pleased how he’s developed and he’s going to be one of those guys who’s going to be asked to do more.” McDonald said his time as a Lobo is coming to an end, but that’s what keeps him motivated. “It just helps me to be more focused during the game and take every game like it’s my last one,” McDonald said.
from page 7
Alford said the team has really made significant improvements in the defensive part of its game since practice started last month. “I like our team, and I like how we have developed in the last two weeks especially at the defensive end,” he said. “We have made a lot of strides in the last 14 days defensively and if we can keep that up we’re potent enough offensively that a lot of good things will happen this season.” Alford said the Lobos for the first time this season have been at nearly full health. Senior guard Phillip McDonald comes back from an injury that saw him miss three weeks of the season. Gordon sat out practice on Wednesday because of a sore knee but is expected to start. McDonald said he is pleased that his injury did not cause him to miss the first game of the season.
“It’s been three weeks I have been out and I am finally getting back on the court and getting shots up,” he said. “I am just excited to get the season started and I am pretty happy I get to get out there.” Sophomore guard Tony Snell has been the surprise package of the preseason this year. After averaging just 4.4 points a game last year he averaged 18 points a game in their two preseason games. Gordon said that last year Snell was nervous coming in as a freshmen, but Gordon is not surprised with how well he has done so far this season. “Tony is one of the best players we have in my opinion,” he said. “I think it was a shock to him last year playing but now he has his rhythm and he is shooting well and his confidence is high. I think he is going to be trouble for a lot of teams.”
