The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895
The Daily Lobo asked GPSA President Katie Richardson for comment on the goals ASUNM President Jaymie Roybal said she would like to accomplish while she is in charge. Roybal’s goals for her term were originally published in the Oct. 24 article, “Roybal enumerates goals.”

Katie Richardson muses on the future of GPSA and funding for grad students by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu
The Daily Lobo spoke with GPSA President Katie Richardson about her vision for the future of GPSA and the University. Richardson said her primary concerns are: holding UNM’s administration accountable, keeping costs low for students, and improving graduate students’ quality of life.
Keep tuition and fees low:
Richardson said GPSA actively participates in budget processes and meetings held by the Office of Planning, Budget and Analysis to advocate for keeping costs low. “My No. 1 long-term goal is to keep tuition and fees low on campus,” she said. “UNM, as a public university, should be in the business of supplying a higher education both at the undergraduate and graduate level to New Mexicans, and it’s important that UNM continues to be a majority/ minority university. (It should) disproportionately serve Hispanics and first-generation college students, and if we can’t keep the cost of education down, UNM cannot be those things.” Richardson said she hopes to stop students’ tuition from funding auxiliary services such as Athletics and Popejoy Hall. She said GPSA also advocates for increased funding for teachers and low administrative salaries.
Increase funding for graduate students:
Richardson said funding for graduate student programs is severely lacking, and 60 percent of graduate students at UNM do not have assistantships. “When programs are not able to provide multi-year funding support for graduate students they are not as able to compete with other world-class research institutions for the best students,” she said. “We are hoping
The proposed program would allow students to rent bicycles from electronic pay kiosks on campus. The plan is currently in its fundraising stage, with a goal of raising $250,000, which Roybal said would pay for seven kiosks, each with 10 bikes.
to make faculty more aware of including graduate students in their budget requests to federal agencies.” Richardson said GPSA has plans to ask the New Mexico Legislature to create specific funds for graduate students and ensure that the state is fully funding UNM through formula funding. She said GPSA is also working on a website that features a guide to help researchers write proposals that include funding for graduate students.
Create an academic plan:
Richardson said the UNM administration focused on creating real estate plans, but does not currently have an academic plan, something GPSA hopes to work with the administration to create. “A critical way that GPSA seeks to be heard is in keeping the administration accountable for executing the academic mission,” she said. “It’s a tragedy that UNM has not had an academic strategic plan. It’s not just ‘How do we allocate real estate?’ but ‘How do we allocate resources to serve students?’ ”
Graduate scholarship fund:
GPSA has several fundraising initiatives in the works. Richardson said GPSA hopes to raise money through phone banking with United Way during the holiday season to raise money for $1,000 scholarships for graduate students. “When people consider their charitable giving for the upcoming break, we hope that they will remember the needs of graduate students,” she said.
Create a dispute resolution service specifically for graduate students:
Richardson said the University needs a dispute resolution system specifically for graduate students because graduates face unique problems. “There is tension between teaching, research, learning and getting a degree,” she said.
A NEW HOPE
“I am excited about campus initiatives for sustainability. I’m concerned with whether students want to pay fees to provide for the bike share program, but I applaud ASUNM for searching for private funding. I think that shows responsibility.”

2. Improved lighting on campus
3. Keeping tuition low
Roybal said ASUNM plans to improve on-campus lighting as part of a safety initiative, and will be seeking funding from the State to accomplish this goal.
“We are both working to keep tuition low for students.”
4. ASUNM website ASUNM signed a contract with University Web Communication Services for 67 hours of work on the site, estimated to cost $3,350. The site still isn’t up, but GPSA’s site is. GPSA’s website features names and contact information for each GPSA member, updated documents and agendas and current news and events.
“I’m concerned about how we might pay for that lighting, and whether it’s the most pressing need for students. I haven’t seen a study showing that our safety is severely in danger, or that lighting will solve a demonstrated need.”
“GPSA has hired a graduate student to do our website … We paid $2,000 to construct our website. As we speak, people can go and update it. He conducted a training for six or seven in the office … $2,000 is less than ($3,350 ) and its going directly to a student.”
5. Student participation in naming new residence halls ASUNM passed a resolution requesting that UNM administration allow students to take part in naming new residence halls, after the Casas Del Rio project was named without consulting students.
“Issues of funding (are more) important. If undergraduates want their voices to be heard on issues besides the naming of buildings … I hope that they will begin engaging their student government and showing up to public meetings where they can speak about issues that are critical to students.”
6. UNM Day at the Legislature and tuition credit On Jan. 30 students present proposals and requests before the State Legislature during the Legislature’s annual UNM Day in Santa Fe. Roybal said ASUNM’s focus for this year is to persuade legislators to remove UNM’s tuition credit, which taxes student tuition to fund other state initiatives.
“I’m very excited about the possibility of removing the tuition credit, and ASUNM and GPSA are going to partner on UNM Day this year toward that end. There is a separate effort by GPSA to create a tax break for students who graduate from UNM and decide to stay in the State of New Mexico.”
The Lobo gave Roybal multiple opportunities to comment on Richardson’s goals for GPSA, but she declined.

“All I will say is that ASUNM and GPSA are very different organizations, but in the end they are both there to serve students.” Jamie Roybal

Center to recall local leaders by Russell Contreras The Associated Press
Nobel Peace Prize winner Ralph Bunche attended school in Albuquerque as a child and later became a civil rights activist who marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. Albuquerque-born George I. Sanchez was a pioneer educational scholar who first wrote about discrimination against Mexican-Americans in public schools in the 1940 classic book “Forgotten People.” But few in Albuquerque or New Mexico remember much about these two key civil rights leaders with Duke City ties. And there are few traces in the city that the two men had roots here. These are historical slights that Jewel Hall, president of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Center Board, hopes to rectify with a proposed King center in Albuquerque. Advocates said the facility will
be dedicated to teaching community members about the city’s local history and civil rights movement. “This history is largely forgotten and I think people can benefit from it,” said Hall, a retired educator. “In order for us to understand the issues of today, we have to understand what we have faced in the past.” For years, local civil rights leaders have been pushing for a MLK center in Albuquerque. Recently, they unveiled a master plan for a building that would serve as a meeting place, educational and recreational center. Hall said organizers currently are looking for land to purchase and are about to begin a fundraising campaign for the multimillion dollar facility. She said Sanchez and Bunche would be among the many civil rights leaders they intend to honor. Organizers said they also want the center to be a training ground
for future civic leaders and community organizers. Sanchez was a key early civil rights advocate for Latinos and later president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, the nation’s largest Latino civil rights organization. The education scholar has a building named after him at the University of Texas at Austin. However, Albuquerque has nothing publicly to honor him. Bunche won the 1950 Nobel Prize for Peace for successfully negotiating an Arab-Israeli truce and was later active in civil rights marches in Alabama. Recently, the Ralph J. Bunche Academy, a charter school focusing on an “Afrocentric perspective to education,” opened to service students in Albuquerque. Joycelyn Jackson, an educator in Albuquerque, said the charter school is the only facility to honor Bunche’s name in the city.

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: In last week’s “Senator remixes Katy Perry tune for meeting,” ASUNM president Jaymie Roybal updated the senate about her bike share plan, a program that would offer free bikes for campus use. Roybal said the plan would cost $250,000. Would you appreciate a bike share program? No. I already have a bike, skateboard or other viable means of transport to get around campus.

No. I think student fees would be better applied for academic activities.

THIS WEEK’S POLL:
In fall 2012, American Campus Communities’ second on-campus student housing facility, Casas del Rio, opens. What do you think of UNM using an outside contractor to build new housing facilities? I’m in favor of it. Private corporations encourage competition, boost the economy and run better than government-run institutions. I’m in favor of it. Lobo Village is a much nicer facility than any of the dorm buildings run by Residence Life. I’m against it. Privatization is a threat to democracy because the people can no longer elect who is in charge. I’m against it. I don’t like the Lobo Village facility and don’t want ACC to build any more dorms on campus.

LETTER
UNM Conservatives’ dire agenda for U.S. is honest Editor, I’d like to thank Donald Gluck and the UNM Republicans. They made it clear at the SUB teach-in that many conservative Republicans on campus think the (un)Occupy movement is “awful,” and that occupation for free speech, after a period of five weeks, must end. It pleases me because it tells me they do not stand on the side of the 99 percent, or on the side of free speech. We all know Conservatives are on the side of the privileged and maintain views that money is speech and corporations are persons. I want to address the disingenuous concept of class warfare promoted by Conservatives. They look at people speaking their minds about inequality and call it class warfare. The real class warfare is Conservative policies which are creating ever greater poverty and material disparity. Conservatives give corporations a free ride, waste money on trillion-dollar invasions fought by kids who can’t afford college, they want no economic safeguards and try to dismantle pollution controls. They’re also trying to take away collective bargaining rights — the rights of people like you and me use to defend our interests. Fortunately, a bill doing this was just rejected by voters in Ohio. What is the real class warfare? You tell me. Conservatism’s fundamental idea is that where inequality exists, it is deserved. This is why you always hear Conservatives talk about “equal opportunity” and never “equality in reality.” Those who are less able to compete are morally inferior and deserve less. It’s the reason why, as Gluck says, Conservatives are not on the side of the 99 percent. It’s a fact everyone needs to understand really well, even if you’re not part of the 1 percent, or 10 percent, or 100 percent. Conservatism promotes the fundamental inequality of humanity — it’s bigotry at its worst. James Henry Thiel UNM community member
COLUMN
Lies are the sad truth of reporting by Jason Darensburg Daily Lobo Columnist
We’ve all heard the story about George Washington chopping down the cherry tree, right? “I can’t tell a lie, Pa; you know I can’t tell a lie. I did cut it with my hatchet,” Little George said, when his father asked the boy what he’d done to his favorite tree. Guess what? It’s a lie. It never happened. The first cherry orchards weren’t even planted in this country until the mid 1800s, when Washington was long dead. It’s a complete myth, yet everyone believes this folk tale. It makes you wonder how many other modern-day myths and falsehoods we believe in that we aren’t even aware of. For instance, did you know that in America it’s legal for news organizations to lie? It’s true. According to Project Censored, a media watchdog organization founded in 1976 by Dr. Carl Jensen at Sonoma State University in California, a Florida Court of Appeals in February 2003 unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying news in the United States. The case involved a story about the dangers of Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH) and the many health risks related to the use of this hormone, mostly from the milk produced by cows treated with it. BGH is manufactured by the demonic Monsanto Corporation. Jane Akre and Steve Wilson, the reporters covering the story, were fired from FOX news after they refused to bow to the demands of Fox’s attorneys and revise their story to include information and statements from Monsanto executives that they knew to be false. Akre actually won the first round in court, but FOX had the case overturned on appeal. The Florida Appellate Court implied that there was no legal restriction against distorting the truth. Technically, there was no violation of the law because the FCC’s policy of news distortion does not have the weight of law. FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. And they won. In their court brief, FOX’s attorneys state: “The station argued that it simply wanted to ensure that a news story about a scientific controversy regarding a commercial product was presented with fairness and balance, and to ensure that it had a sound defense to any potential defamation claim.” Even more disturbing is the fact that five
other major media outlets filed briefs of Amicus Curiae (“friend” of FOX) in support of FOX’s legal position: Belo Corporation; Cox Television, Inc.; Gannett Co., Inc.; Media General Operations, Inc.; and Post-Newsweek Stations, Inc. Those are all big-time media players. Cox TV has $15 billion in assets and 60,000 employees. Belo Corp owns 20 TV stations and affiliates, various cable networks and websites, with revenues of more than half a billion dollars. Media General runs TV stations, newspapers, websites and more than 200 specialty publications across the country. Post-Newsweek is a subsidiary of the Washington Post company, which owns several TV stations and newspapers in the nation’s largest markets. And the Gannett Co. owns many broadcast, digital, mobile and publishing companies, including their flagship publication USA Today. Most of these companies are subsidiaries of even bigger media cartels. What these news organizations did was successfully kill an important news story, directly impacting the health of millions of people, due to pressure from a major corporate sponsor. ‘Fairness and balance’ now means the right to broadcast lies. This is just one example. How many other important news stories do you think are being kept from the public on a daily basis? Why do you think there is so little coverage of our multiple, ongoing wars on any of the major U.S. television networks? Mainstream news organizations in America have been turned into propaganda outlets for their corporate masters. Coverage of our imperialistic endeavors today is extremely limited, in stark contrast to our last major military failure in Vietnam. When I was growing up, coverage of the Vietnam war was broadcast every evening on the nightly news. This constant barrage of war reporting was largely responsible for turning the American public against our continuing involvement in the Vietnam conflict. The United States is currently ranked a lowly 20th on press freedoms in the most recent “Press Freedom Index,” according to Reporters Without Borders (Reporters Sans Frontières). RSF is the world’s largest press freedom organization. The mission of this highly regarded international organization is to work with the media, political leaders, non-government groups and the public to further press freedom around the world. If you want real freedom of the press, move to Scandinavia. The top three countries are Finland, Iceland and Norway. Ever heard of the “Fairness doctrine?” The Fairness Doctrine was a policy introduced in 1949 by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that required the holders of broadcast licenses to present controversial
issues of public importance to consumers, and to do so in a manner that was, in the Commission’s view, “honest, equitable and balanced.” In the past, leaders from both sides of the political spectrum tried to use the doctrine to silence criticism, including John F. Kennedy and, later, Richard Nixon. President Ronald Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine in 1987, and just recently, in August 2011, the FCC formally removed all of the language that legally implemented it. That pretty much put the last nail in the coffin of “fair and balanced” news in America, and it opened the door for FOX news and other blatantly biased media outlets to broadcast virtually whatever news they want with total impunity. The FCC’s decision led to the explosion of neo-conservative ideologues such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck on radio,televisionandtheInternet.TheU.S.airwaves are saturated with right-wing hate speech, and there’s no “liberal” alternative currently offered, except perhaps Rachel Maddow. Air America is long gone, and NPR hardly qualifies as liberal. Five huge corporations — Time Warner, Disney, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., Bertelsmann and Viacom now control virtually all of the media industry in America. General Electric, which owns part of NBC, aside from being one of the nation‘s largest defense contractors, is a close sixth. This concentration of media ownership into the hands of such a tiny minority is clearly detrimental to a free, democratic society — especially with regards to what is considered newsworthy and what is not. When the bottom line is making shareholders happy rather than keeping the public informed, there’s no incentive for these mega-corporations to provide any real, creative investigative reporting or controversial content. Thankfully, this uniformity only applies to broadcast and (most) print media, because of course the Internet is far less restricted — so far — and there’s much more diversity presented on the web, although there are still large segments of the population who don’t have Internet access (the US barely scrapes the top 10 in home usage worldwide).

Syria suspended from Arab League by Zeina Karam
The Associated Press BEIRUT — Syria’s embattled regime called for an urgent Arab summit as it faced growing isolation Sunday, not only by the West but by its neighbors, over its bloody crackdown against an eight-month-long uprising. The crisis raised regional tensions, with Turkey sending a plane to evacuate nonessential personnel after a night of attacks on several embassies by Syrian government supporters angry over the Arab League decision Saturday to suspend their country’s membership. The 22-member bloc’s rare, nearunanimous vote — only Lebanon, Yemen and Syria were opposed — put Damascus in direct confrontation with other Arab powers, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who were pushing for the suspension. The vote constituted a major boost for the Syrian opposition. Tens of thousands of government supporters poured into the streets of Damascus and other cities, the turnout helped by the government’s closing of businesses and schools so that people could take part. “You Arab leaders are the tails of Obama,� read a banner held at a huge pro-regime rally in Damascus accusing the Arab League of bowing to pressure from the United States. Violence continued elsewhere, with activists reporting at least 14 people killed in shootings by security forces in several parts of the country. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said seven of the deaths occurred in Hama when security forces fired on
opposition protesters who infiltrated a pro-government rally. Syria’s call for an Arab summit to discuss the country’s spiraling political unrest was seen as another possible bid by President Bashar Assad to buy time as he faces snowballing punitive action over a crackdown that the U.N. estimates has killed more than 3,500 people since mid-March. In a thinly veiled warning, the government said it was calling for the meeting “because the fallout from the Syrian crisis could harm regional security� — an apparent effort to play on fears that Assad’s ouster would spread chaos around the Middle East. But in a significant concession, Syria also invited Arab League officials to visit before the membership suspension is scheduled to take effect on Wednesday, and said they could bring any civilian or military observers they deem appropriate to oversee implementation of an Arab League plan for ending the bloodshed. The Syrian government is usually loath to accept anything resembling foreign intervention, and the invitation signaled the government’s alarm over the Arab action. Arab League officials did not immediately respond to the request for an emergency summit. Arab League Secretary General Nabil el-Araby, on a visit to Libya, demanded immediate implementation of the peace plan. The Nov. 2 plan called on Syria to halt attacks on protesters, pull tanks out of cities and hold talks with the opposition. Syria signed on to the plan, but nothing has changed on the ground.

Muzaffar Salman / AP Photo Pro-Syrian regime protesters carry a giant Syrian flag during a demonstration in Damascus on Sunday. Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in a Damascus square to protest the Arab League’s vote to suspend Syria over its bloody crackdown on the country’s eight-monthold uprising. In voting for the suspension, the Arab League said it would meet again Wednesday in the Moroccan capital of Rabat to reconsider the decision, giving Assad some time to take action to prevent it. Arab nations are eager to avoid seeing another leader toppled violently, as happened to Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi last month. Assad asserts that extremists pushing a foreign agenda to destabilize Syria are behind the country’s unrest, rather than true reform-seekers aiming to open the country’s autocratic political system. Sunday’s demonstrators accused Arab countries of being complicit in the purported conspiracy. Iraq, which abstained from
Saturday’s vote, warned that the Arab League suspension could make matters worse. “The suspension of Syria’s membership will deprive the Arab League of any communication channel with the Syrian government, and this move does not serve the interests of the Syrian people,� Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said. Members of the Syrian opposition, meanwhile, rejoiced. “This gives strong legitimacy to our cause,� said Bassma Kodmani, a spokeswoman for the Syrian National Council, an opposition umbrella group. “We consider this decision to be a victory for the Syrian revolution.� Hours after the Arab League
vote, pro-regime demonstrators in Syria assaulted the diplomatic offices of countries critical of the Syrian government, breaking into the Saudi and Qatari embassies and attacking Turkish and French diplomatic posts across the country. Syrian security forces confronted the attackers with batons and tear gas but were unable to stop a group from breaking into the Qatari embassy and replacing the Qatari flag with the Syrian banner. Others entered Saudi Arabia’s embassy compound, broke windows and ransacked some sections, the kingdom’s media reported. Nobody was reported injured, but the embassy attacks were likely to stoke anger in Arab states against the regime in Damascus.

sports briefs Men’s Soccer —DENVER, Colo. The No. 1 men’s soccer team continued its undefeated run when it beat Cal State Bakersfield in penalty kicks to win the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation conference tournament Sunday. The game was scoreless until the 83rd minute, when Bakersfield scored. Only one minute later, UNM tied the game after an own goal from a Bakersfield defender. After a scoreless overtime, the game went to penalty kicks, where the Lobos won 3-1. Senior midfielder Michael Green and junior forwards Blake Smith and Devon Sandoval converted the spot kicks for UNM.

—LUBBOCK, Texas. The women’s basketball team lost its opening game of the season Friday to Texas Tech, 69-43. The game was Yvonne Sanchez’s first regular season game as the Lobos’ head coach. Junior guard Caroline Durbin led the team with 17 points, and was the only UNM player in double figures.
—PROVO, Utah. The women’s cross country team tied for first place at the NCAA Mountain Regional Saturday. The even tie with Colorado means that UNM will compete for the NCAA championships next weekend in Indiana. The Lobos placed three runners in the top 20. Senior Ruth Senior placed seventh, senior Sarah Waldron placed 12th and senior Natalie Gray placed 20th. The men’s team finished fourth and only placed one runner in the top 20. Regardless, it earned an at-large bid to the NCAA championships.
Women’s Soccer —LOS ANGELES, Calif. The women’s soccer team season ended Saturday at the hands of No. 9 UCLA in the first round of the NCAA tournament, when it lost 1-0. The only goal came in the 65th minute when the Bruins’ Kylie McCarthy tapped in a loose ball. The Lobos were outshot 16-3 in the game, and with this loss, finish the season 12-5-4.
LSU unanimously tops AP rankings by Ralph D. Russo Associated Press
NEW YORK — LSU was a unanimous No. 1 in the Associated Press college football poll, marking the first time since 2008 a team has received all of the first-place votes during the regular season. The Tigers (10-0), who have been No. 1 since Sept. 25, received all 60 first-place votes from the media panel in the rankings released Sunday. The last unanimous top-ranked team in the regular season was Texas, on Oct. 26, 2008. Oklahoma State (10-0) was No. 2 for the second straight week, but the rest of the top five was a bit scrambled after Boise State and Stanford lost for the first time. Alabama moved up to No. 3, Oregon jumped two spots to No. 4 and Oklahoma moved to No. 5.

The top five teams in the BCS standings released later Sunday, which use the Harris poll and the coaches’ poll, were the same as the top five in the AP poll. LSU had been sharing first-place votes for the last month and a half with Alabama, Oklahoma and Boise State. But as those teams each took a loss, the Tigers picked up support. Boise State was the only team other than LSU receiving a first-place vote last week, but after TCU upset the Broncos 36-35 at home on Saturday, the Tigers made a clean sweep. No. 8 Stanford, which lost 53-30 at home to Oregon, and No. 10 Boise State each fell five spots this week. The rest of the top 10 had Arkansas at No. 6, Clemson at No. 7 and Virginia Tech at No. 9. The only other undefeated major college team, Houston from Conference USA, was ranked at No. 11.

Loss tarnishes Senior Night
Gabriela Ventola / Daily Lobo UNM’s Kelly Williamson (13) and Elsa Krieg (16) attempt to block a spike Saturday against No. 23 Colorado State. The Lobos lost 3-2 to the Rams on Senior Night.

hendrix@unm.edu The volleyball team went toe-totoe with No. 23 Colorado State on Saturday, but couldn’t get itself over the winning line. They lost in five sets — 25-19, 1425, 19-25, 25-22, and 11-15 — on an emotional Senior Night. Head coach Jeff Nelson honored seniors Kelly Williamson, Ashley Rhoades, Allison Buck and their families. In the first set, Buck passed Lobo alumna Gayle Tripp’s school record for all-time career digs, set in 2008 at 1,578. Buck credited Tripp with helping her set the record. “She was on my team my freshman year, and having her be my role model gave me inspiration to become a better player,” Buck said. “I am so thankful she was on my team.” Nelson reflected on Buck’s career at UNM. “She’s one of the best players I’ve ever coached,” Nelson said. “I’ve coached a lot of All-Americans and a lot of really good players, but she’s a top-quality, low-maintenance, get-it-done player, and every coach loves that.”
A broken record was just the beginning of an intense match. Later in the first set, with the Lobos up 22-19, sophomore setter Mariah Agre threw her body into the announcer’s table to save the ball. The Lobos won the point with a Williamson kill that sent Johnson Center into a frenzy. “It was one of those plays that you’ll always remember,” Buck said. Two points later, at 24-19, the Lobos made another incredible save, this time by the net. The head judge initially called a lane violation, but the Lobos challenged and the call was reversed. The Rams’ coach said something to the line judge that prompted the head judge to red-card the coach. The penalty awarded the Lobos a point and the set. The Rams fired back in the second set and dominated the Lobos. The third set went back and forth between the teams. Neither had a lead of more than two points until the Rams scored six straight points to break a 1919 tie and go up 2-1 in the match. Down 11-13 in the fourth set, Rhoades came down on her elbow after contact was made with a Colorado State player under the net. One of UNM’s assistant coaches jawed back and forth with Rams’
coaches about the play. “There were some tenuous moments during the match and I think the teams have really developed a rivalry,” Nelson said. “There were some things that shouldn’t have happened.” The Lobos fought back and, without Rhoades, pulled out the fourth set. Rhoades did return later in the match. “It was an injury, but I didn’t want it to affect me,” she said. The Rams edged out the Lobos in the final set, but the result gives UNM something to look forward to when it hosts the MWC tournament next weekend. “A lot of what we did today should give us confidence going into the next match,” Williamson said. “We just have to finish.” Williamson and Rhoades led the team offensively. Williamson finished with 21 kills with a .250 hitting percentage, and Rhoades added 13 kills with a .222 hitting percentage. Agre was the only Lobo with a double-double, with 45 assists and 11 digs. Buck finished the match with 23 digs, which gives her 1,593 digs for her career, and is in third place all-time in the MWC.

The Lobos won their first game of the season 90-42. The Lobos took a 52-15 lead into halftime. Hardeman said dominating the Privateers wasn’t as easy as it may have looked. “It wasn’t easy,” he said. “We went at it. We followed the rules we had to follow and just played hard and kept the composure, and we got up by a lot.” The game evened out more in the second half, but the Lobos’ victory was never in doubt. “Openers are very interesting,” Alford said. “I’m very, very pleased with how our guys performed. They did a lot of good things.” Gordon finished the game with his usual double-double, leading the team with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Hardeman and Bairstow each added 13 points of

their own. Williams, McDonald and sophomore guard Demetrius Walker followed with 12 points each. The Lobo defense held the Privateers to 14-of-55 shooting and only had five assists, compared to 26 assists from the Lobos. The talk quickly changed to New Mexico State, who the Lobos play Wednesday night at the Pit. “We know this wasn’t nearly as tough of a caliber of a team that we’ll be playing on Wednesday night,” Bairstow said. “I think we’ll be able to stay level-headed.” New Mexico State is also 1-0 this season, after beating Northern Colorado on Saturday. Hardeman said he’s excited for the Rio Grande Rivalry. “I can’t wait,” Hardeman said. “It’s going to be a good game.”
Don’t worry... it kinda looks like you’re taking notes.

hendrix@unm.edu The men’s basketball team needed only to play defense in the second half to win its season opener comfortably. UNM left the Pit as clear victors, with a 92-40 win Friday night over the University of New Orleans in front of 14,011 fans. The team put up 52 points in the first half. The Lobos started the game on a 26-5 run as they swarmed the Privateers defensively and shot the lights out on offense. Six Lobos finished in double figures, and the team finished with 58.9 percent shooting. “We’ve got good balance; we’ve got good depth,” head coach Steve Alford said. Sophomore guard Kendall Williams zipped by defenders throughout the game, easily accessing the basket. The Lobos outscored the Privateers 16-0 in fast break points. Senior guard Phillip McDonald added fuel to the fire, hitting all four of his 3-point field goals. Senior forwards A.J. Hardeman and Drew Gordon, and sophomore forward Cameron Bairstow dominated the inside. All three finished in double digits and controlled the points in the paint 4212. The big three out-rebounded the entire New Orleans team, 2825. “Our three bigs performed well,” Alford said. “I thought (they) took on a team that was much smaller than us and they made them pay for it.” The rest of the Lobos accounted for 12 rebounds. New Orleans didn’t reach double digit points until there was only 3:34 left in the first half.

of resources. You’re more interested in exploring and play-making, so if work is truly pressing, make it into a game. Find a way to laugh at the banalities we’re all faced with, and delight your friends with the humorous tales of your work week.
Virgo — Nose firm to the grindstone
They’re astrologically delicious! Capricorn — Heightened activity, especially where your romantic life is concerned, came to a climax last week during the full moon. You may have experienced a rude awakening regarding a relationship you’ve invested heavily in. You may be reluctant to let this person go, but don’t write the experience off as a passing conflict. It’s uncomfortable to cut ties, but if the relationship is less fulfilling and draining, you should go through it confident that this is the best course of action. Aquarius — The motivation and ability to accomplish is strong in you this week, as Mars’ transition into Virgo drives you toward tangible rewards. However, Mercury in Sagittarius will scatter your mental energy, making it a challenge to divert your physical energy in a single discipline. Keep tabs on all your obligations to avoid skipping over the fine details, as your mind leaps from task to task.
Pisces — Your solitude may be less inviting than usual this week, as you feel increasingly compelled to maintain important social ties and forge new ones. This is not something you should battle, even if you find yourself neglecting your work and school life. The waning gibbous moon encourages personal growth and development, so even if you aren’t working towards these goals in a straightforward, traditional sense, keep in mind how valuable these new contacts will prove their worth in the long run.
Aries — There are many ways to collect knowledge about the world you live in, a pursuit in which you’ve become increasingly interested. The most obvious way is through books, but this leaves out the key element that will satisfy you in the end. What you crave is human connection and an understanding of how your gears and cogs fit into the clockwork. Don’t use this as an opportunity to spout off about your own
beliefs — absorbing knowledge aurally requires listening.
Taurus — This week demands that you address a number of concerns that you’ve been mindful of, but have probably thought about them more than you’ve taken action to correct them. Mars in Virgo sets you up for steady work and solid achievement and Mercury in Sagittarius expands your vision to see all issues at once and how they connect. It’s hard to know where to start, though, so use this as an opportunity to develop your focus and practice oscillating smoothly from task to task.
Gemini — What appears as selfishness make actually be people acting on a growing compulsion to make a contribution to the world at large this week. Everyone is getting fired up about their pet issue, but they easily chafe people in their wakes, failing to realize not everyone feels the same. Rather than fire back, support these people, even if you don’t agree. They will return your support when the time comes, so humor them for now. Cancer — You may feel caught off guard by the onslaught of notions and observations the broadened lens of Sagittarius makes apparent, perhaps because you instinctively feel partially responsible for any upsets in your vicinity. You can temper this anxiety by considering whether or not these are things that need to be addressed. More than likely, what you’re experiencing is a shift in world view. Try not to feel guilty, telling yourself you should have been aware of these things all along. Leo — You could be balanced and attend to practical matters while making the rounds in your social sphere, but the cosmic atmosphere will not be so supportive of this. You want it all and may become frustrated contending with limitations like obligations, time and lack
this week, you will find it easy to knock out your to-do list with little mental exertion. This is fortunate, as this week your mind will be swept up in a new romance. This is not necessarily a person; perhaps it is a creative endeavor, a zesty challenge that’s arisen. Indulge in fantasies; let your mind play with all the possibilities and the work will come easily.
Libra — This week, you will effortlessly swing from vine to vine, swiftly conquering new territory. The onslaught of human interaction and enlightening discussions may actually come close to satisfying your need for mental stimulation. Beyond this, you may consider how you can maintain this momentum when people are not so open and jovial. Be careful as you pick up speed not to miss any vital connections— avoid a restrictive attitude when deciding how to spend your time.
Scorpio — Let your dreams guide your actions this week. It’s easy to forget how much is possible when you set your mind to a given goal, when you run into stubborn roadblocks. Strive for lucidity in your sleep and treat this new landscape as a testing ground for ideas you’ve been toying around with only in your mind up to this point. Because you don’t suffer the consequences, endeavors become less a life-or-death matter. Try to incorporate this attitude in daily life. Sagittarius — This week may prove unforgettable. While Mercury in Sagittarius lays the world open for you to explore, Mars in Virgo makes it possible for you to view all the intricate details. You can cover a lot of ground in any direction on which you set your sights. Is there someone you’ve been waiting to get to know? A job you’ve been considering pursuing? Anything you’ve written off previously as being too unlikely to waste time on will become easily possible this week. Ride with this energy.

Messina follows Urlacher’s record-setting legacy Leading linebacker leaving last season with late win by Thomas Romero-Salas tromeros@unm.edu
On Senior Night, the Lobos’ senior linebacker Carmen Messina led his team to victory and became the second Lobo to get a hundred tackles in three consecutive seasons, but he said he doesn’t care about stats. “Shoot, if I would have had one tackle and we won, I would have been happy with that,” Messina said. “I’m just happy with the win, and I’ll worry about all those records and accolades at the end of the season.” The other Lobo, Brian Urlacher, reached 100 tackles in the 1997, 1998 and 1999 seasons. With time winding down, Messina made the play of the game, stripping UNLV quarterback Taylor Barnhill of the ball in UNLV territory to help set up UNM’s gamewinning touchdown. The touchdown gave the Lobos a 21-14 win over the Rebels. After the game, Messina was named player of the game with 14 tackles. Interim head coach George Barlow said Messina comes ready to compete every game, and wasn’t surprised to see him make such an important play. “He’s definitely a ball player,” Barlow said. “He comes to play every Saturday … I use him as an example every day of the week because what he does on Saturday is not just on Saturdays.” Originally from Addison, Ill., Messina said his main reason for coming to UNM was to follow in Urlacher’s tracks. “It feels great,” he said. “(Urlacher) has always been a role model. He’s one of the biggest factors as to why I came here in the first place.” This was the seventh time this year that Messina had double-digit tackles, and it was the 25th time
Laurisa Galvan / Daily Lobo UNM linebacker Carmen Messina tackles UNLV’s Dionza Bradford on Saturday at University Stadium. In his final home game as a Lobo, Messina finished with a game-high 14 tackles. in his career that he accomplished that feat. Earlier in the year Messina eclipsed the 400-tackles mark and became just the fifth Lobo to do
so. He is also leading the MWC in tackles with 110 and is averaging 11 tackles per game. Junior quarterback B.R. Holbrook said without Messina the
Lobos would be a completely different team, because he is the “motor” of the Lobos. “When (Messina) has something to say, everybody stops and
listens,” Holbrook said. “Next year is going to be rough without him, and I thought he played lights out. I couldn’t be more proud of him tonight.”
Barlow leaves with a victory Interim coach expresses pride in young team’s character and need for confidence by Mundo Carrillo ecarr50@unm.edu
Laurisa Galvan / Daily Lobo UNM’s Deon Long catches the ball over UNLV’s Sidney Hodge on Saturday at University Stadium. The Lobos won their first game of the season 21-14.
Interim head football coach George Barlow won’t be leaving UNM without a win. On Saturday, the Lobos beat the UNLV Rebels 21-14 with a gamewinning touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. “I’m definitely more excited for the kids,” Barlow said. “They’ve never quit working. It says a lot about the character of these kids. I’ve won national championships and won a lot of big games, but this game here was as big as any, because I was as proud of them as any team I’ve ever coached.” UNM linebacker Carmen Messina led the seniors with 14 tackles. He said the Lobos sported pink on their jerseys and jokingly said that was why they won. “It feels great to know that we’re not going to go winless this season,” he said. “It feels great to celebrate with our fans. I think we should wear pink more often, because we’re undefeated when we wear pink.” With 1:58 left in the game, the score tied at 14, Messina stripped the
ball from UNLV quarterback Taylor Barnhill, to be recovered by UNM senior defensive end Jaymar Latchison. The offense marched 34 yards down the field in the next three plays, and sophomore running back Demarcus Rogers put the ball in the end zone on a 2-yard run to make the score 21-14, sealing the win for the Lobos. The fumble didn’t happen by accident: it was a move the defense had been working on all week. “Creating turnovers was definitely an emphasis this week, and they did a good job of trying to strip at it most of the game,” Barlow said. “Finally, it came out when we needed it the most.” The Lobos started strong Saturday. Junior quarterback B.R. Holbrook threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Deon Long on the first play from the line of scrimmage. UNLV running back Dionza Bradford scored on the first drive of the game from a 45-yard touchdown run, to even up the score at seven. Rogers scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 32 seconds left in the first quarter, to put the Lobos back on top 14-7.
Neither team scored during the second and third quarters. UNLV scored early in the fourth quarter after a 4-yarder by Tim Cornett, to tie the score at 14. It would be the Rebels’ last score of the game, as the Lobos held on to win their first game of the season. Barlow said the game was a needed win. “We were looking for ways to start fast and start with some confidence,” Barlow said. “It’s important when you have a young team to give them some confidence early.”
