Techno Guy settles with SUB over music dispute
Students’ corner pocket
“Techno Guy” gets volume limit in response to complaint by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
Vanessa Sanchez / Daily Lobo Student Francisco Gonzalez shoots the 13 ball in a corner pocket in the SUB pool hall Tuesday. Gonzalez said he plays every evening in the SUB, and his girlfriend joins him when she can.
Techno Guy and the SUB have worked out a deal, but it won’t necessarily bring peace and quiet to campus. English Professor James Burbank filed a complaint against the loud music played by Josh “Techno Guy” Arellano outside the north end of the SUB last month. Since then, Arellano met with Ryan Lindquist, associate director of the Student Activities Center, to determine an appropriate volume level to play his boom box. “We had three meetings with Josh to work on his volume out there,” Lindquist said. “We wanted to make sure that it was at a level that was more in accordance with what other people do on campus.” Per the meetings, Lindquist and Arellano agreed upon a maximum
volume level for the music, which Arellano said is significantly lower than past levels. “I’m trying to stay optimistic because I can still bring my boom box here, but the volume level has been pushed down 60 percent, and I feel like it’s a slap in the face,” he said. “Honestly, my laptop is louder than what the boom box is allowed to be at. It’s kind of a joke. It’s not even worth my time or effort at this level.” Burbank, who filed the complaint to the Dean of Students about Arellano’s music being disruptive, said he was satisfied with the new restrictions. “I feel like Joshua is trying to work with the Student Activities Center,” Burbank said. “I was up there today and it seems like his music is at a reasonable volume, so he is complying with the restrictions.” Burbank said he received threats and other fallout after filing the complaint. “People want to silence me. They have threatened me

Orchestra has yet to PIRG petitions to hire new employees settle contract dispute Staff Report Daily Lobo
NMSO to declare bankruptcy if musicians and management can’t agree by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
The New Mexico Symphony Orchestra is on the verge of bankruptcy. David Sherry, NMSO management spokesman, said a decision must be made in the next week or so to determine the orchestra’s fate. “If we don’t reach an agreement with the musicians by Thanksgiving, we will file for bankruptcy. It’s just a question of what form of bankruptcy,” Sherry said. The NMSO management sent out a press release Tuesday stating that the NMSO board of trustees met Monday night and decided to give management until Thanksgiving to resolve their months-old contract dispute with the musicians. The trustees stated they would file bankruptcy if the dispute is not resolved by then. The NMSO musicians also sent out a press release Nov. 13 stating they had rejected management’s last, best and final offer. NMSO Player’s Association spokeswoman Denise Turner said the Player’s Association rejected the offer because management wanted the musicians to take bigger salary

cuts than the management. “When we went back and took those votes to our players, our players were pretty outraged that there was not equality of sacrifice, meaning the fact that the management, who makes way more than we do, were taking only 10 percent cuts in wages and benefits, while the musicians, who make a fraction of that, were taking 23 percent,” she said. Sherry said the information provided in the musician’s press releases and by Turner is inaccurate. He said the management was not asking musicians to take larger cuts than the management. A press release distributed by Sherry stated that management is asking musicians to take a cut between 12.1 and 18.4 percent. “When you add in the amount of money lost to us (the NMSO management) in benefits and wages, then you add that to what we’re losing in the current fiscal year, and you analyze it — it actually amounts to a 19.8 percent cut,” he said. “They want what I think they were calling ‘the equitable and shared sacrifice.’ 19.8 percent versus 12.2 to 18.4 — that seems pretty equitable and shared to me. In fact, it seems skewed a little higher on the staff side.” Sherry’s press release stated that the new proposal, accepted by management on Oct. 28 and then rejected by the musicians, “differed

UNM’s Public Interest Research Group is accepting signatures on a petition asking for student fees to pay for full-time PIRG employees. Alayna Bowman, UNM-PIRG spokeswoman, said the organization is asking the Student Fee Review Board to allocate $80,000 to hire national PIRG employees. The board allocates about $9 million per year to campus organizations. “We’re just trying to get a portion of those student fees to hire staff
from PIRG to work for the student body here on campus,” Bowman said. “They’d be full-time organizers, researchers and lobbyists to work on the issues that students want.” According to the U.S. PIRG Web site, the group organizes around issues like product safety, political corruption and voting rights. Bowman said the petition has 700 signatures so far, and the group is not aiming for a certain number of signatures. Bowman said UNM-PIRG representatives approached ASUNM senators with the idea of PIRG employees
on campus and got mixed feedback. “They want to see more support from the students, which is really what the petition is about,” Bowman said. “We’re just kind of trying to build up relationships with ASUNM and the student body.” Bowman said the details of the number of employees or their salaries have not yet been fleshed out.

news in brief LEXINGTON, Mo. — Prosecutors in western Missouri filed 15 additional sex charges against a family already accused of sexually abusing children as a newly released search warrant claims some of the suspects forced their victims to help kill and bury a man in 1988. The new rape and sodomy charges stem from 1984 to 1989 and accuse Burrell E. Mohler Sr., 77, of Independence, of rape, sodomy and use of a child in a sexual performance. His four sons, Jared Leroy Mohler, 48, of Columbia; Roland Neil Mohler, 47, of Bates City; and David A. Mohler, 52, of Lamoni, Iowa, were charged with rape. The original complaint, which has allegations that date from 1988 to 1995, includes charges of forcible sodomy, rape with a child younger than 12 and use of a child in a sexual performance.

During a brief court appearance Tuesday, four of the five men said they were still working to find attorneys. Only Jared Leroy Mohler said he had hired a lawyer. No additional charges were filed against the sixth person accused in the case, Darrel W. Mohler, 72, who is being held in Marion County, Fla. on two counts of rape stemming from 1986.

Half were thought to be over 45 when they died, and the average lifespan was under 50 back then. Sixteen mummies had heart and blood vessel tissue to analyze.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is expected to incorporate the voluntary program in legislation to be unveiled as early as Wednesday, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because a final decision has not been made. Known as the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act, or CLASS Act, the program was a top priority for the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. It would begin to close a gap in the social safety net that’s received little attention in the health care debate. Fiscal conservatives and government economists have questioned whether the program would be financially sustainable over the long run, and insurance companies are lobbying to strip it from the health care bill.

ASUNM holds senate election today A AHL Garden Supply by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
Undergraduates can vote for their student government representatives today in the Associated Students of UNM fall election. ASUNM makes decisions that have long-term effects on students, said Vice President Michael Westervelt. Senators in the student government pass resolutions and bills and have a $500,000 budget used to fund student groups. “Students on this campus too often don’t feel represented at times where they have a student senator,” Westervelt said. “Even if you aren’t part of any group or organization, and you are just a part of the UNM campus, you have a senator who represents you.” Ten full-term senate seats are up for grabs today. There are also two half-term seats to fill, because two senators with a semester left in their term will not be returning for the spring semester. Less than 10 percent of the student body voted in the spring election. Westervelt said low voter turnout is due to misinformation and lack of information about ASUNM. There are 24 candidates who want to have a say in how that

to support free bus passes, to limit the increase of tuition and fees and to develop an outreach group with students to get them more involved, according to a flier put out by the slate. Connor Lites, an independent candidate, said he wants to increase transparency by publishing senators’ voting records in the Daily Lobo. Diego Montoya, also independent, said he wants to increase dorm parking. Brandon Call and Matthew Olguin, the last two independent candidates, were not available for comment. Along with senatorial selection, there is also an ASUNM constitutional amendment on the ballot that, if passed, will allow associate justices to serve more than one term. The student court is made up of a chief justice and four associate justices who hear cases regarding laws, money allocations and actions of ASUNM committees.

And hopefully we can work something out,” she said. “I think if the management said, ‘Hey, we’ll take the 23 percent cut the core (musicians are) taking,’ I think this would be done.” Sherry said he could not reveal what the management will propose at the negotiations on Saturday. “It would be imprudent for the

personally and I find that despicable, frankly,” Burbank said. “Everybody has a right to free speech, and you can’t suppress other people just because you don’t like what they are saying anymore than I would want to suppress Joshua.” The purpose of playing the music outside the SUB is to expose students to a different type of music, Arellano said, and the new volume level makes that difficult. “If I wanted to be listening to my music by myself in my own surroundings, then I would have just brought head phones and there would be no reason to bring a boom box,” he said. “If I wasn’t trying to affect other people’s realities then I wouldn’t have brought a boom box in the first place.” The volume control policy should make other music makers and music players wary, Arellano said. “The boom box represents something political,” he said. “It represents something that is antiestablishment.

“The boom box represents something political. It represents something that is anti-establishment.” ~Josh “Techno Guy” Arellano that they have pushed me down, if something else comes up I might be used as a precedent as to how to act when someone wants to express themselves.” Should Arellano turn up the volume again, Burbank said he won’t hesitate to file another complaint. “The more people say I should shut up, the more I feel I should speak out. I guess that’s just how we are as human beings,” he said. “People can say what they want, but free speech is free speech and that’s what I advocate for.”

The ASUNM election commission doesn’t recognize slates — which are like political parties of the student government. When running on a slate, candidates pool their resources and run as a group. They can only use the budget allotted for one person, which was increased to $200 this semester. “There is so much information in these slates,” Westervelt said. “Although we don’t recognize slates, these groups of people that get together to run together have done so much — Facebook postings, I know there have been Web sites in the past put up, fliers that they hand out.” Both slates, and all candidates, aim to increase student involvement. But more specifically, the Bridge slate is running to increase awareness of student resources, create a universal UNM activities calendar, improve the ASUNM Web site — which is not regularly updated — and add a live chat feature to the site, according to a flier from the slate.

From the web In “GPSA: Krebs a poor leader,” published Monday, the Daily Lobo reported that the Graduate and Professional Students Association will meet next week to discuss a noconfidence vote in Vice President of Athletics Paul Krebs. GPSA said a no-confidence vote could influence the Student Fee Review Board to stop giving a portion of student fees to the athletics program. Readers at DailyLobo.com responded: by ‘another student’ Posted Tuesday “Ah! An opportunity for GPSA to redeem itself. I’ve not forgotten their ‘vote of confidence’ to offset the ‘no-confidence’ vote to poor little Schmidly by faculty. And their ridiculously worded vote of support for Locksley because ‘people get hit a lot in football.’ Their votes don’t impress me very much, not even a threatened vote of ‘no-confidence’ to Krebs. Does anybody care what GPSA says? On another matter, remember GPSA, the payback for diverting student fees from athletics is to lose free student seating at athletic events. Diverting small change from athletics is not going to hurt Krebs a bit. What will hurt Krebs is not to attend athletic functions that have traditionally been nicely populated, like football games and men’s basketball games. The football season’s home games mercifully will end after this Saturday, so why go and indicate any support for head coach Mike Locksley and Krebs? The wide open Pit is too damn cold this season anyway. A boycott of men’s games would be a bigger financial hit in the head to Krebs than withholding your tiny athletics fees.” by ‘Mr. “B” Posted Tuesday “GPSA needs to understand their role and place on campus. They are an association that can have some input into the University; however, they don’t get to decide. They don’t get to make the final decisions. They don’t get a vote. Clearly pulling that much funding will impact the entire sports program at the school, and everyone knows that the school can’t stop any athlete from making a bad decision on the field. I would be willing to bet that people in their own organization have made some bad decisions, too. Let the one that never did anything wrong cast the first stone. GPSA needs to mind their own business and generate that energy into more helpful endeavers, like community service work and helping some of the local kids get accepted into college.” by ‘To Mr. B’ Posted Tuesday “It is GPSA’s business and anyone else’s that loves and cares about UNM: parents, students, faculty and taxpayers. We will no longer tolerate the UNM administrators’ corruption. Someone has to stand up for what is right and show that UNM does have some ethics and morality. I applaud GPSA’s efforts and will stand by them. I will not attend any more UNM sports events until this is rectified. And that, sir, is my business.” by ‘Also to Mr. B’ Posted Tuesday “GPSA should be doing something because that double standard crap is not working. … UNM is a University where people are supposed to behave like civilized human beings. We need leadership that will lead by example, not that do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do mentality.” Join the discussion at DailyLobo.com

Letters Anti-abortion letter makes illogical, morbid arguments Editor, While reading the Nov. 17 Daily Lobo, my peer and I came across the letter, “Abortion kills, ends destinies of people who could change world” written by Steve Chavez. This letter had numerable inconsistencies that we feel obligated to address. Mr. Chavez’s argument against a woman’s right to abortion is based primarily on potentiality. This is fallacious. First and foremost, the assumption that destiny is a universal force which determines our actions is naïve at best. Second, he presupposes that destiny is solely a positive function. If destiny exists, it seems
Administration needs to stop ignoring all forms of violence Editor, What’s the big deal? Why are people so upset? The football coach is getting a raw deal. I don’t understand all the hand wringing. Violence happens frequently at this University, despite all the pompous denunciations. I am not referring to the recent extreme case involving physical violence. I am referring to the more frequent type of non-physical violence, often called bullying, in which managers and supervisors mistreat and abuse staff on main campus and on north campus. There are many outstanding staff, faculty and managers at UNM. Unfortunately, there are also bullies. It’s not just one, two or a handful of managers who bully their staff. Why is it tolerated? It’s very difficult to prove because there are
short-sighted to posit that it only beneficially affects people’s lives. Third, the fact that he is using destiny as an argument completely negates itself. From Mr. Chavez’s perspective, if destiny is defined as a universal force that pushes the outcome of a given situation, would it not therefore be the destiny of said fetus to be aborted? Assuming that his argument of destiny is viable, then we must confront the unsettling prospect of the atrocities of reality. Mr. Chavez fails to realize that his argument insinuates that it was destiny that six million Jews died in the Holocaust, or that it was destined for Africans to be enslaved for 400 years or that the victims of 9/11 could do nothing to escape their destiny, their fate. The repercussions of these contingencies within Mr. Chavez’s argument make it a morbid and purely
preposterous view. If destiny causes people to perform acts of great humanitarianism, then it must also determine the actions of maliciously destructive and violent people, the latter category encompassing a larger percentage of the population. Therefore, Mr. Chavez’s austere anti-abortion stance positioned on the merits of fate is just as valid as a mandatory abortion policy to prevent socially perverse individuals from enacting their supposed destiny. We would ask that, in the future, people refrain from presenting narrowly constructed proposals that benefit their personal positions without considering the full scope of consequences that arise from their assertions.
no physical bruises or police reports. There’s plenty of evidence, however, in the form of mental anxiety, emotional upheaval, loss of sleep, lack of concentration and additional time off. Poor coach. One punch and he’s a villain, yet there are vice presidents, deans, directors and general administrators high and low, who get away with violence all the time. The question is not: Is it happening? The question is: How much is it happening? Does it happen to 1 percent of staff? 2 percent? 5 percent? Does anyone know? Does anyone want to know? Does anyone really care? Here are excerpts from a resolution by the UNM Staff Council presented to President William Gordon in 2001 in support of an Ombuds Office: “Whereas, many staff not currently included in a bargaining unit find themselves without meaningful high-level assistance to resolve workplace issues, and whereas, there are numerous types of problems that are not amenable to resolution through a
dispute system, including issues such as managerial misconduct, health and safety issues and workplace violence.” Similar resolutions were presented to President F. Chris Garcia in 2002 and to Interim President David Harris in 2006. There is still another resolution in development. It’s getting close to the 10th anniversary of negligence by the University administration and the Board of Regents in ignoring violence. Maybe it’s time to petition the New Mexico State Legislature during the January 2010 session to establish an independent commission to investigate physical and nonphysical violence at UNM. I realize these are tough economic times for everyone, but there is never a “good” economic time for this issue. It will always get pushed to the end of the priority list. It’s time to stop the violence at UNM.

ROME (AP) — Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, blamed for plunging his people into starvation, used his platform as Tuesday’s opening speaker at the U.N. anti-hunger summit to decry what he called his neocolonialist foes. Another longtime African strongman, Moammar Gadhafi, held another nightly soiree at a villa in the Italian capital in the company of hundreds of young ladies selected by a “hostess” agency. Tunisia’s first lady and her bodyguards blocked traffic on roads leading to Via Condotti, a glamorous street of designer boutiques near the Spanish Steps. Rome daily Il Messaggero ran a photo of Leila Zine in front of luxury jewelry store Bulgari. The images bolstered criticism that the summit called by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization is long on rhetoric and extravagance and short on solutions for the world’s 1 billion hungry. The meeting was branded a failure within a couple of hours of its start after the 192 participating countries unanimously rebuffed the United Nations’ appeal for commitments of billions of dollars in yearly aid to develop agriculture in poor nations. None of the leaders of the Group of Eight leading industrialized nations attended except for Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi. “There is a clear disconnect between what governments are
saying, at least the rich governments, and what in fact they are doing,” said Flavio Valente, an activist participating in a forum of NGOs held in parallel with the summit. The G-8 meeting in L’Aquila, Italy, essentially set the agenda for this latest summit by endorsing a strategy shift in fighting hunger: helping farmers in poor country to produce enough food to feed their own people, moving away from decades-long reliance on handouts. While the G-8 leaders in July approved $20 billion in agricultural development aid in a threeyear package, the countries at this U.N. summit rejected FAO’s call to commit themselves to earmark 17 percent of their foreign aid budgets for agricultural development, which U.N. officials estimated would cost $44 billion yearly. Ertharin Cousin, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. agencies in Rome, said the summit wanted to establish the principle that donors should listen to the needs of each country and not decide aid policies on their own. FAO director-general Jacques Diouf expressed “regret” and frustration that the summit rejected his call to members to fund the new shift in agricultural development policy. About an hour after the decision, Pope Benedict XVI delivered a speech to the summit condemning opulence and waste in a world where the numbers of hungry have multiplied despite international efforts to combat chronic hunger.

Jeff Chiu / AP Photo From left, Bill Williams, Dexter Young and Bishop Andre Jackson bow their head in prayer at Richmond High School in Richmond, Calif., Nov. 2. The vigil was held against the gang rape of a 16-year-old girl outside of Richmond High School’s homecoming dance.
Town shaken by recent gang rape by Terry Collins and Evelyn Nieves The Associated Press
RICHMOND, Calif. — Not far from the pulsating music and dancing of the high school homecoming, young men were drinking in a dimly-lit courtyard out of sight of chaperones. A friend invited a 16-year-old girl to join them, and she started drinking hard liquor, too. Soon another group of young men came over. The ingredients for tragedy all were present, experts say. A bunch of men. A vulnerable young woman. Alcohol. What happened next, authorities say, degenerated into a twohour-long gang rape by as many as 10 males. Another 20 people allegedly watched as the victim was assaulted, beaten bloody and robbed of her jewelry but they did not stop it or call police. The incident late last month led to six arrests, captured nationwide headlines and put this community of 103,000 on the eastern San Francisco Bay shoreline through spasms of self examination. Hundreds attended support rallies for the victim. Some saw the crime as an outgrowth of Richmond’s street
violence and poverty. But experts say gang rapes happen in all segments of society — white and minority, rich and poor. And they say the attackers often are bonded males ranging from gang members and neighborhood pals to teammates and fraternity brothers. “Everybody was asking why did this happen?” said Peggy Reeves Sanday, a University of Pennsylvania anthropologist who has written extensively about gang rape. “It’s very clear if you look at the male culture and the bonding culture of young males and the adventure and bravado of a social situation.” Authorities said the suspects knew each other from either attending or having ties to the high school. However, they said any apparent bonds quickly eroded during police questioning as the suspects attempted to shift blame to their alleged accomplices. “Just pointing the fingers at other suspects places them at the scene of the crime,” said Steven Clark, a defense attorney and former prosecutor. “I’m sure they’re thinking about cooperating with the District Attorney if they could get a lesser sentence.” In many gang rape cases, Sanday said, the victim is drunk, mentally disabled, lured by someone she has a crush on or considers
a boyfriend. The victim here was a Richmond High School student. After leaving the dance early, she was waiting outside for her father to pick her up when she heard a familiar voice. A classmate invited her to hang out with him and a few guys in the shadowy courtyard. She hopped a short gate and began drinking with them. More young men joined them. “That’s when the dynamics changed,” said Richmond Police Lt. Mark Gagan, noting the assault soon began. In gang rapes where bystanders are egging on the others, Sanday said, “it is part of the male ritual. It involves proving their sexual prowess.” School officials and authorities said the victim felt betrayed because she knew a few of her alleged attackers and considered one a trusted friend. “She is a young girl who’s impressionable and, I think, wonders if this is what the world is really like,” said Richmond police Sgt. Lori Curran, a lead investigator. The victim has since been flooded with gifts and letters of support. In a letter read by her family pastor during a vigil, she urged the community to remain calm and “let that anger cause change.”

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — What the UNM men’s basketball team learned Tuesday at the Pan American Center: The Aggies aren’t hemophiliacs. Yes, NMSU bled — for that matter poured in the first 20 minutes of Tuesday’s contest, down 16 at intermission — but eventually the blood coagulated, and the Aggies’ apparent mortal wound didn’t turn out to be as deadly as first thought. When all was said and done, the Lobos eked out a 97-87 victory over their inner-state rivals, marking the Lobos’ fourth consecutive win over NMSU, two of those wins coming in Las Cruces. Nonetheless, the Lobos were on the cusp of a colossal collapse, even more so considering UNM had its best first half under head coach Steve Alford offensively: The 52 points the Lobos scored were the most for an Alford-coached team in the first half. Still, the Lobos failed to perform the finishing move — and the Aggies recovered from a stale first half, reeling off a 14-0 second-half tear spearheaded by guard Jahmar Young, who accounted for 10 of the Aggies’ 14 points during the surge. A 3-pointer from the Aggies’ Jonathan Gibson, who ended with 17 points, pulled NMSU within two, 5957, with 15:15 to go in the game. The Lobos responded with back-to-back 3-pointers, compliments of Phillip McDonald and Roman Martinez, which padded the Lobos’ cushion to 65-58. Back came the Aggies, Young again leading the way with a 3-pointer to trim the gap to one, followed by an Aggie free throw and another longranged 3-pointer from Young which
gave the Aggies their first lead — 7167 — since the 18:53 mark in the first half. “Forgot about that (run),� said NMSU head coach Marvin Menzies, now in his third year with the Aggies. “We did really fight back there. Seeing the guys respond like that was a silver lining in the equation.� Jilted and jittery, the Lobos, however, countered — in particular forward Martinez. Martinez, the Lobos’ lone senior, showed the resolve to guide the youth-riddled Lobos to shore. He finished with 24 points, tying a careerhigh, and keyed a crucial run that helped UNM reclaim the lead. Even so, Alford said he had to pound on his players eardrums during timeouts, because his squad was particularly lackluster defensively, allowing the Aggies to shoot their way back into the game. “(I) yelled a lot,� he said. “I yelled a lot so the young guys could understand coach yelling when we’re not doing much defensively.� Those porous holes eventually closed. Getting away from their 6-foot, 11inch center Hamidu Rahman, the Aggies habitually ignored him when he posted up in the paint. After notching his 12 point — a two-handed dunk, at that — with about five minutes to play in the first half, Rahman was essentially a non-factor, the relegated Mr. Invisible. He scored only two more points in the second half to finish with 14. Menzies said the speed of the game was the deciding factor in why the Aggies got away from Rahman. “We tried to go inside, but the guards got going a little bit,� he said. “We were punching it inside to him

Senior shines in rivalry knockout by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
LAS CRUCES, N.M. The solo senior from the Lone Star State shined bright Tuesday at the Pan American Center. Roman Martinez, the only senior on the 2009-10 UNM men’s basketball team, tied his careerhigh with 24 against in-state rival, New Mexico State. Martinez was one rebound shy of a double-double with nine. Martinez and his gutsy effort against the Aggies was indicative of the kind of player he is, said head coach Steve Alford. Thanks to Martinez, the Lobos pulled a 9787 win against the Aggies. “I am going to enjoy every game I have got with him,” he said. “I know his elementary school brother was here today. I am going to be the first to start recruiting him, because if it’s a Martinez, I know what he is going to end up being.” NMSU turned on the offensive button and heightened the intensity level in the second half after being down 52-36 at halftime. The Aggies went on an 18-5 run to open up the second half before guard Phillip McDonald hit a 3-pointer to push the Lobo lead to six. On the next NMSU offensive possession, guard Jahmar Young countered McDonald’s 3-point field goal
Rivalry
and hit a free throw to cut the Lobo lead to 62-58. Martinez led the Lobos back down the court and answered with a 3-pointer of his own. The 3-point ball maintained the lead and put the Lobos up by seven. To earn the win in a rivalry game, especially after giving up a big lead, Martinez told his young team during a time out to weather the storm, he said. “Coach doesn’t get mad at missed shots,” Martinez said. “A lot of the young guys, like Darrington Hobson, they were trying to score but we just couldn’t get anything going. Coach (Craig) Neal called a couple of plays for me and the ball fell for me today.” In 33 minutes, Martinez finished his final game at NMSU going 8-of15 from the field. “They’re a team that can score in bunches and they did in the second half,” Martinez said. “We kind of had some mishaps on the defensive end. It was important for us to hit some big shots. That’s what Daniel (Faris) would do for us last year, so I knew that I had to hit a couple of big shots.” Martinez, an El Paso, Texas native, knows all about the UNM-New Mexico State rivalry. Martinez said he didn’t mind constantly being razzed by the Aggie faithful and that it didn’t get into his head. “I enjoy the fans getting into it,” Martinez said. “I think that it’s all
from page 8
and as a result of our speed game kicking in … Typically he won’t get a lot of looks if we’re (pushing the ball). He was scoring well in the first half. It turned into a track meet and he’s not the most brisk fellow yet.” As the pace quickened, Young slid between gaps in the Lobos’ defense. When the holes weren’t open in the paint, Young dialed in from long distance, finishing with a teamhigh 26 points, five rebounds and four assists. “He was the firecracker that got our offense started,” Menzies said. But in the end, the Lobos brought
the real explosive power. McDonald finished with a game and career-high 27 points, including 5-of-11 from 3-point land. Two other Lobos besides Martinez — Darington Hobson and Dairese Gary — finished in double figures, Hobson tallying 17 to Gary’s 14. “There are a lot of teams that would’ve folded,” Alford said. “You forget about getting up 16-18 points in the first half. You get down four and the game’s over. You see that in sports all the time. You got a lead and then you lose the lead and you never regain the lead again.”

Team earns NCAA bid, prepare to battle Pilots by Nathan Farmer Daily Lobo
Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Defender Euan Holden receives the ball during Nov. 7’s game against UNLV at the UNM Soccer Complex. The UNM men’s soccer team earned an at-large bid by the NCAA Selection Committee during Monday’s selection show. we get to play one more game in front of our home fans,” he said. “It’s pretty tough for any team to come in and play us at home and win.” Portland finished fourth this season in the West Coast Conference with a 10-5-5 record. Based on the results of both teams’ games against mutual opponents, the Lobos and Pilots look evenly matched. Both teams beat Saint Louis and
The UNM men’s soccer team’s season was kept alive by the NCAA Selection Committee. The Lobos earned an at-large bid during Monday’s selection show and will play Portland at home on Thursday. It will be the team’s seventh appearance in the NCAA tournament in the past nine years. Before Monday, the Lobos had to rely on their regular-season résumé to earn an at-large bid. UNM reached the championship game in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament, but fell to Sacramento State, 5-4, in penalty kicks. So, Monday’s news came as a huge relief to the team, said forward Justin Davis. “We knew we were on the bubble,” he said. “We gained some momentum off the news today and hopefully we can build some more off the crowd on Thursday and get a win.” Senior Simon Ejdemyr said he’s glad his last year at UNM isn’t ending bitterly. “It’s fantastic,” said the men’s soccer defender. “It’s our goal every year to make the NCAA tournament. We are all really happy to make it.” Davis said the Lobos will have a huge advantage, because they’re playing at home. “It’s huge to first make it, but now

Gonzaga by multiple goals, and both tallied wins over Seattle as well. Each team, though, fell by the same 1-0 score to San Francisco. The teams are just as close when it comes to recent head-to-head play. The Lobos played Portland in the Husky Fever Classic last season in Seattle, Wash. and played to a 1-1 tie, and played to a scoreless tie in
Portland in 2006. “We are not really focusing on them and the past results,” Ejdemyr said. “If we can play how we should with tough defense and scoring goals, we will be tough to beat.” The last time these two teams met in the NCAA, the Lobos were victorious. They hosted Portland in the 2004 tournament and convincingly beat
the Pilots 4-1 and went on to play North Carolina State — the team that the winner of Thursday’s game will face in the second round. With the teams so closely matched, playing at home becomes a huge factor, Ejdemyr said. “We play very well at home and it is going to be tough for a team to come to this altitude and play well,” he said.
