Missile strikes spark protest

Israel-Palestine conflict protesters rally on campus

by Megan Underwood news@dailylobo.com

Pro-Palestine protesters rallied Friday in opposition to Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, chanting “Palestine will live on forever.”

According to the Associated Press, Israel fired rockets at Gaza on Nov. 14, killing a Hamas leader as well as at least 11 civilians, several of whom were children.

Gaza responded by firing more than 100 rockets back at Israel,

‘We all carry a Lobo paw print in our hearts’ President Robert Frank shares goals at inauguration

by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com

UNM President Robert Frank, who earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees from UNM, is the first University alumnus to serve as president.

UNM welcomed Robert Frank at his inauguration ceremony on Sunday as the 21st president of UNM. Robert Frank took the position in June after he was selected over five other finalists from across the country in a yearlong search.

Robert Frank, who was provost at Kent State University before he became UNM president, said he was thrilled to finally return to his home state to serve as president of the University.

“It’s an extraordinary opportunity to come home to the Land of Enchantment, to my alma mater,” he said. “We all carry a Lobo paw print in our hearts.”

Robert Frank’s wife, Janet Frank, said Robert Frank’s inauguration is

surreal and that he has been working all his life to reach the position. She said his presidency is well-deserved.

“When we were first together, I asked him what his goals were. He said that he really wanted to be a president someday because, of course, UNM is his first love,” she said.

Janet Frank said her husband is strongly committed to improving UNM. She said she is optimistic that Robert Frank’s presidency will only bear positive results.

“He believes in this place very, very strongly,” she said. “I’ve always been told that he’s left wherever he’s been in a much better state than when he got there.”

Robert Frank said the University should focus on increasing graduation rates because higher education plays a large role in improving the economic state of the country.

He said UNM needs to focus more on public health to match out-of-state universities’ statuses in terms of offering public health education. He said that although the University is underfunded, it still provides many students in the state with an education.

Adria Malcolm / @adriamalcolm / Daily Lobo During President Robert Frank’s inaugural speech Sunday in Popejoy Hall, he said returning to his alma mater is an extraordinary opportunity. Frank is the first alumnus to serve as UNM president.

Men’s soccer heads to round 3

The NCAA College Cup returned to the UNM Soccer Complex on Sunday, as the Lobos defeated Virginia 3-1.

The second-round game against the Cavaliers pitted the Lobos against a team better than their usual foes.

“We needed this first one,” UNM head coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “Coming off that (conference) schedule, we hadn’t played a team of this caliber. We knew it was going to be a good challenge.”

The first goal of the match was scored at the 5:12 mark on the Lobos’ fourth corner kick. Junior defender Kyle Venter headed the kick by junior midfielder Michael Calderon to put the ball in the net and give the Lobos an early lead.

“This is the third secondround game with a bye that we’ve hosted. In each of the previous two games, we gave up the first goal,” Fishbein said.

“Coming off of the bye is always a challenge. Are you going to be a little lethargic? The other team is just coming off of a win; they’re excited. We locked it down early today, and that was important.”

The Lobos kept the momentum through the rest of the first half, outshooting Virginia 14-4. Virginia played hard defense, leading to a few scuffles between the two teams.

One incident escalated, resulting in Virginia’s freshman forward Darius Madison’s receiving a

Organizations that request funding from the Student Fee Review Board will have to make their cases at hearings held over winter break.

The board voted unanimously Thursday to conduct the hearings from Thursday, Jan. 10 through Saturday, Jan. 12. Classes begin Jan. 14, and in previous years hearings have been held at the beginning of the spring semester.

Some board members expressed concern that students who represent some of the groups that will request funding may not be available during winter break. Board member and ASUNM Deputy Chief of Staff Matthew Fleischer said it was unfair to hold hearings when potential presenters could not attend.

“I would be amiable to moving the hearings forward,” he said. “Students might not be back from winter break. If they’re from out of state, they definitely won’t be back.”

Board member Matthew Rush said scheduling the hearings even a week later would not allow enough

The Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) passed a resolution calling for the University to require a three-credit diversity course be added to the requirements for an undergraduate degree.

At a GPSA meeting on Saturday, all but two members, Travis Baggett and Seth Grant, voted in favor of the resolution.

If upheld by the administration, the resolution will be enacted for incoming freshmen in 2014 and will not add to the total credit-hour requirement for graduation.

On Wednesday, ASUNM unanimously passed a similar resolution, The requirement, if upheld, would require undergraduate students to take a course with more than half its curriculum focused on understanding worldwide issues in regard to race, class,

Silva said a similar message has been echoed at recent town hall meetings at the American Indian Students Center and at El Centro de la Raza.

“We’re all a part of this community, but the message at those town halls was ‘Why are we not a part of this curriculum?’” she said.

CORRECTION

CLARIFICATION

In the article “Graduate lit magazine loses funding, goes online,” published in Friday’s Daily Lobo, the article stated “Jane Frumkin and author of ‘Bless Me, Ultima,’ Rudolfo Anaya began the magazine in 1983.” Frumkin’s first name is incorrect; it should state “Gene” not “Jane.” The error was made in reporting.

In the article titled “Graduate lit magazine loses funding, goes online,” published in Friday’s Daily Lobo, the article states, “Blue Mesa Review wasn’t the first publication to encounter budget setbacks — earlier this year, the Honors College publication ‘Scribendi’ had $1,000 cut from its budget.” Although both Scribendi and Blue Mesa Review faced budget cuts, Scribendi’s budget cut came from ASUNM, while the English department cut Blue Mesa Review’s budget.

University brings value to this community, and we want everyone to be part of it.”

Swan said that because Robert Frank is a UNM alumnus, he will understand the Alumni Association’s goals more clearly and will work more closely with them. Swan said Robert Frank is working with the association to establish Lobo Living Rooms, a program that will recognize outstanding students and faculty members every month.

“The biggest plus that we see for us is that he’s an alum,” he said. “He is one of us. I would guess then that he will have a natural affinity to alumni activities, and we to him.”

Robert Frank said he aims to inspire students all across the state.

“If a boy from Las Cruces can go on to become a president, then surely a girl from Española can be a rocket scientist and walk on Mars,” he said.

“The hard reality for us is the timeline we’re facing in order to hold these hearings, town halls and deliberations,” he said. “That turnaround for us is extremely tight.”

The SFRB will submit initial budget recommendations to the Strategic Budget Leadership Team (SBLT) on Feb. 15. Both boards will then collaborate to submit the final student fee allocation recommendations to the Board of Regents during the first week of March.

Board chair and ASUNM President Caroline Muraida said the dates shouldn’t be an issue because students who want to testify on behalf of organizations can come back early.

“If students are the ones presenting the financial picture and answering the difficult questions about numbers, then it’s really imperative that they’re there,” she said. “But, that student is probably also a staff member, which would be

the case if they’re answering those questions. Staff is here during those two weeks prior to school starting.”

Muraida said the SFRB will draft and send applicants a document explaining this decision.

Changing policy The board proposed giving organizations longer time slots for hearings. Some board members said larger organizations could use more time for questions during hearings because of their more complicated budgets. Board member and ASUNM Sen. Malika Ladha said that large budgets could require more deliberation.

“We should have that available time in case we need it,” she said. “I think we should have that sort of extra cushion just in case.”

The board did not reach a decision regarding the change during their meeting Thursday.

The board also proposed that

“tangible demonstrations” should be saved for venues other than during board hearings.

During last year’s deliberations, students often gave presentations addressing why they felt programs were important and deserved funding.

One presentation included University band members, who played a piece to demonstrate why they needed new instruments.

Muraida said presentations should be reserved only for town halls or community forums for the sake of time.

“Hearings are primarily and solely for financial presentations, for financial questions,” she said. “And community briefings, town halls — that time is formal presentation of the tangibles.”

The board did not reach a decision regarding whether tangible demonstrations should be allowed during board hearings.

Associated Students of the University of New Mexico (ASUNM) President Caroline Muraida said she expects that Robert Frank will continue to be more accessible and listen to students more closely.

“I hope he continues to be a good listener, and I hope he continues this path to participatory progress,” she said.

After the inauguration, UNM’s Alumni Association debuted the new, 12-foot U-shaped statue in front of Hodgin Hall and lit it up at a post-inauguration reception.

Alumni Association President Duffy Swan said the statue symbolizes the unity of not only UNM students, but also unity of the University and even Albuquerque as a whole.

“The U is about you,” he said.

“UNM produces nearly 50 percent of all bachelor’s degrees in our state,” he said. “We managed to do this even though our tuition rates are $10,000 less than our competitors in Arizona and Colorado.”

Frank said UNM needs to work on increasing its international-student population to create a more globalized community, which he said is useful in many fields today.

“To sell, our students must understand the global market,” he said. “We must be able to imagine opportunities around our planet.”

Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) President Marisa Silva said Robert Frank has considered the student voice in his decisions since he took office in June.

“He’s already at a good start in his listening campaign,” she said. “He has attended both of our ASUNM Senate and GPSA Council to hear directly

COLUMN

Puerto Rico referendum worth watching

Editor’s Note: This is the first of two columns about the history of Puerto Rico’s legal status within the United States and Puerto Rico’s alternatives to its current legal status, including statehood, independence and free association.

by John Tyczkowski

Daily Lobo columnist opinion@dailylobo.com In a Nov. 6 referendum, 54 percent of Puerto Ricans voted no on the question of whether “Puerto Rico should continue to have its present form of territorial status.” Given the optimistic yet cautious results of the ballot item, many people have begun speculating about what it would mean for the island, as well as the entire United States, if Puerto Rico were actually to become the 51st state in the union, the first state to be admitted in more than 50 years. Setting aside the controversial elements of the ballot item’s results, let’s examine what statehood for Puerto Rico might actually entail.

Since its acquisition in 1898 during the Spanish-American War, Puerto Rico’s legal status has been in flux. From the beginning, the island was considered an unincorporated territory of the United States, like the Philippines. Its residents were not considered citizens and did not enjoy any constitutional rights beyond protections the Supreme Court and federal appeals courts gave them in rulings.

The first re-examination of Puerto Rico’s status came in the mid-1910s, and Puerto Ricans were given U.S. citizenship in 1917. After World War II, the global decolonization movement — which also compelled the United States to grant the Philippines its independence in 1946 — caused the United States to once again consider Puerto Rico’s legal status.

EDITORIAL BOARD Elizabeth Cleary Editor-in-chief

Danielle Ronkos Managing editor

Alexandra Swanberg Opinion editor

Svetlana Ozden News editor

In 1950, Congress authorized a constitutional convention in Puerto Rico. Two years later, after congressional and presidential approval, Puerto Ricans formally enacted their own local government. However, Puerto Rico was still considered an unincorporated U.S. territory, and as such, it was granted neither representation in Congress — beyond a nonvoting resident commissioner in the House — nor presidential electors in the Electoral College. However, Puerto Ricans still pay federal payroll taxes, paying into such programs as Social Security and Medicare.

Because it is an unincorporated territory with its own constitution, Puerto Rico has enjoyed local autonomy nearly equivalent to that of the states and more autonomy than other U.S. territories. However, Congress and the president still retain full legal control over the island through Article IV of the Constitution and federal law.

On the other hand, though federal law applies to Puerto Rico, Puerto Ricans don’t receive all the protections granted to U.S. citizens in the 50 states by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The Supreme Court found in a series of rulings known as the Insular Cases that because Puerto Rico was an unincorporated territory, only “essential” portions of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution applied to the island, not those documents in their entirety.

In the past century, only certain rights have been specifically granted to Puerto Ricans via those Supreme Court rulings, such as First, Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections and the 14th Amendment due process and equalprotection guarantees.

In the years after Puerto Rico’s constitutional ratification and the solidification of its status as a U.S. territory, the island has undergone several reviews of its legal status. Prior to this year’s ballot item, there have been three ballot items

— in 1967, 1993 and 1998 — and a constitutional amendment referendum in 1991 that have sought to review and possibly change the island’s legal status. In all four cases, Puerto Ricans voted by a slim margin to maintain their current status instead of seeking full statehood. The largest difference was in the 1967 ballot item, when 60 percent of voters upheld Puerto Rico’s current commonwealth status while 39 percent favored statehood. Independence has never garnered double-digit support in any of these four votes.

It is important to note, especially considering this most recent, potentially groundbreaking vote, that such ballot items are not legally binding, and Congress is entirely free to ignore Puerto Ricans’ sentiments if it so chooses. At the same time, however, Congress has historically indicated through legislation that it supports following the wishes of the Puerto Rican people, so the scrutiny that the unprecedented results of the 2012 ballot item are undergoing is warranted.

Given Puerto Rico’s turbulent legal history, it might be ultimately beneficial for it to become a state, if only so Puerto Ricans can enjoy the full legal protections, privileges and duties that U.S. citizens in the 50 states receive. On the other hand, an arrangement for the island such as a compact of free association could also be positive, because it would be a step toward independence, but not independence outright, which the voting results suggest the vast majority of Puerto Ricans would reject. Such a compact would allow Puerto Rico to transition to full independence on firmer footing and in a slow, measured manner. My next column will analyze these positions, which were the two options on this month’s ballot item that gathered the most support, and offer a more in-depth look at the option of full independence.

FROM THE WEB Readers responded online to “Smokers who stray from designated areas on campus are selfish,” published in Thursday’s Daily Lobo. The letter is about the author’s frustration with smokers who disregard the rules about where to smoke on campus.

User “truthiness” “The University has a bad habit of creating policies that have no enforcement strategy built into them. The same is true of skateboarding. With no one having

responsibility to enforce policies, they are flagrantly ignored.”

User “CodyA” “I don’t really mind people smoking in most of the nondesignated areas, as most of the normal but nondesignated places I see people smoking are a bit secluded from normal daily foot traffic anyway.

That being said, the next time I see some motherf***er smoking where hundreds of people are walking through, like between

Dane Smith and Mitchell Hall for example, I’m going to go apes***. It’s seriously annoying, and I really just wanted to punch the d*****bag that was doing it yesterday.

I’m not anti-tobacco. I chew tobacco and enjoy an occasional cigar or even cigarette.

The ‘designated areas’ are horse s*** and too few and far between to be convenient, I get it.

But come on people. Please be aware of the people around you before you put a damn smoke screen in front of dozens of people trying to get through.”

“At the start of the second half, we started to find our rhythm,” Virginia head coach George Gelnovatch said. “We got a quick goal, but unfortunately (the Lobos) had a quick counter that made it really difficult for us.”

Lobo sophomore forward James Rogers, assisted by Calderon, snuck the ball past Cavalier sophomore goalie Spencer LaCivita. The goal, scored at the 57:30 mark, gave

the Lobos a 2-1 lead.

“James made a pretty good run,” Calderon said. “I know that he’s pretty fast, so I just put it between the defenders, and he had a good finish.”

Calderon put the icing on the cake, scoring a goal of his own with 18 seconds left to put the Lobos up 3-1.

Tensions from the first half carried over to the second.

UNM freshman midfielder Ben

McKendry was given a yellow card at the 61:27 mark. Calderon garnered another yellow card for the Lobos, committing a foul at 65:02. The Cavaliers got their hands dirty as well, with freshman midfielder Todd Wharton receiving a yellow card at the 69:07 mark. Virginia senior forward Will Bates added to the game’s roughness, receiving a yellow card at 76:56.

“I don’t think that anyone would

ever call us physical,” Gelnovatch said. “We are not a strong or physical team, but we felt coming in here that we needed to respond.

Looking back, I don’t think that we were overly physical. I think it was a response to a game that was very competitive.”

UNM moves on to play Connecticut on Sunday in Storrs, Conn. The Lobos’ senior goalie Victor Rodriguez, who served his one-game suspension Sunday, will be eligible

for the game against the Huskies.

“I can’t tell you how excited we are to fly out to Connecticut and get a big one next Sunday,” Fishbein said. “The exciting thing coming into this next game is that we’re the underdog. We don’t feel that we’re the underdog; we’re going to win this game. It’s great to be the underdog against (Connecticut). They’re not going to know what hit them.”

water bottle at protesters.

The protest was organized by the Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) coalition.

ANSWER coalition coordinator Joel Gallegos said he was pleased with the turnout, as the protest was planned just two days in advance.

“We’ve been able to mobilize people through emailing, through phone calls, through fliering and also through contacting people who are already involved with the movement,” he said. “It’s actually pretty amazing the amount of people that have come out.”

Gallegos said staging the protest at UNM not only offered a centralized location, but also provided an opportunity for students and campus groups to get more involved. He

said people should stand against Israel and that attacks on Palestinians are completely unjustified.

“The attacks that have been happening against Gaza are an outrage,” he said. “Once again, it’s the Israeli military flaunting their superior military against a people that have absolutely no military power.”

Several members of the oncampus group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and other UNM students participated in the protest.

UNM student Ruquaya Quraishi said she plans to join SJP in the spring and continue to be active in the movement. She said that while she’s of Lebanese and Indian descent, she finds the attacks on Gaza appalling and stands in

solidarity with the Palestinian people.

“In these times we need to be united as one family,” she said.

“I’m shocked by the fact that they (Israel) never stop, that there’s no limit. One little bomb can destroy thousands of lives without them even feeling anything. They don’t have hearts to even know what they’re doing.”

UNM student Sarah Abonyi held an Israeli flag, flashing peace signs at passing cars at the protest.

She said that although protesters antagonized her, she felt it was important to stand in defense of Israel.

“I think people need to stand behind Israel, especially because of all of the negative media atten-

tion it’s getting,” she said. “I think people need to know that Israel supports peace.”

Abonyi, who is a part of the Israel Alliance, a pro-Israel group on campus, said she planned to attend to protest even though she knew she would be outnumbered.

She said she received a lot of criticism and personal attacks for attending the event.

“People have told me that I’m not a real Jew, that I’m evil, that I should go to hell because of what I’m doing,” she said. “It’s really very intimidating.

two of which were aimed at Tel Aviv but were intercepted. Around 10 Israelis were injured, but there were no casualties.

About 100 people gathered in front of the UNM Bookstore in opposition to Israel’s military agenda and the United States’ support of Israel. Protesters carried signs admonishing recent attacks on Palestinians.

“Gaza, Gaza don’t you cry, Palestine will never die,” they chanted.

The event received mixed attention from passers-by. Cars honked, flashing peace signs in support. A bicyclist lectured protesters about the “real history” of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Dwindling rotation, 3-0 loss darken Senior Day

by Christian Naranjo sports@dailylobo.com @cnaranjo7

Illnesses and injuries have been the theme for the UNM volleyball team all season. On Saturday, the trend continued with a 3-0 loss to San Diego State.

UNM lost 24-26 in the first set and 27-29 in the second set.

Junior libero Miquella Lovato had 14 digs in the first two sets, but left the match before the third set because of food poisoning.

Without Lovato in the lineup, the Aztecs demolished the Lobos 25-16 in the third and final set.

Head coach Jeff Nelson said Lovato’s absence in the final game left New Mexico struggling to find a rhythm in offense.

“It had a huge impact. We went from passing well the first two games to struggling to stay in our system,” Nelson said.

Entering the season, Nelson compiled a roster of 13 players, but by the time the third set began on Saturday, injuries had narrowed the rotation down to only eight players.

Senior setter Jordan Russell said she and the rest of the team have learned to be resilient.

“No excuses. It’s been a long season of people getting hurt and sick,” she said. “We have two more games and we have to push through to see what happens.”

Nelson said the Lobos’ (20-11, 7-7 MWC) lack of experience played a large part in the Aztecs’ control of crucial situations.

“Something with San Diego State that we just lack the drive to put them away. We don’t seem to get on top of them. We’re basically a freshman team and they’re a junior and

Sophomore Chantale Riddle dominated offense with 14 kills, a game-high for both teams.

‘It was a good, gritty win’ Lobos overcome Houston Baptist in a hard, fast second half

by Thomas Romero-Salas

deficit to 44-42, before UNM junior guard Sara Halasz stole a pass and fed junior forward Deeva Vaughn for an easy layup, scoring a 46-44 advantage.

After freshman point guard Bryce Owens hit a long trey, senior guard Caroline Durbin pushed UNM’s lead to 54-44, thanks to a layup followed by another 3-pointer. Durbin had a team-high 20 points and 10 rebounds to go with three assists in 32 minutes of action.

Halasz, who scored 11 points and grabbed eight boards, said the team knew it had to start out fast in the second half.

“We came out strong and came out saying we were going to win every four minutes that we can,” she said.

Durbin said the main reason for the turnaround in the second half was the Lobos’ defensive play.

“We needed to start with defense,” she said. “In the second half, we needed to play with more of a sense of urgency.”

Houston sophomore forward Shanice Steenholdt, who is from Roswell, N.M., led the Huskies

Congratulate

The UNM women’s basketball team needed a furious secondhalf rally to defeat Houston Baptist on Sunday at The Pit. And they found it, going on a 19-4 run during the final seven minutes of the game to defeat the Huskies 63-46.

Head coach Yvonne Sanchez said Houston Baptist came out determined to beat UNM. “It was a good, gritty win.

Houston Baptist is not the team they were last year and, quite frankly, neither are we,” Sanchez said. “A win’s a win. I’m proud of this team. We outscored them 37 to 16 in the second half, and that’s pretty impressive. I’m proud of my team, but we have a long way to go.”

The Huskies didn’t make a basket until 10:28 remained in the second half, when sophomore guard Devyn Weymouth hit a layup to cut UNM’s lead to 3933. Houston Baptist scored only four points in the final 6:23.

Houston Baptist then cut the

with 21 points and 16 rebounds.

She also recorded two steals and two assists, and was the only Husky in double figures.

Sanchez said she was very impressed with the way Steenholdt played.

“Steenholdt had a terrific game. She is relentless and a heck of a player,” Sanchez said. “I always root for New Mexico kids whether we have them or not.”

UNM had four players in double figures, as Halasz and Durbin were joined by Vaughn with 11 points and Owens with 11 points, four assists and three steals.

The Lobos are now 3-0 for the first time since the 2008-2009 season. Last year, it took UNM eight games to earn three victories.

“It’s fun to be in this position, and we want to enjoy our wins,” Sanchez said. “We want to get better as a team and hopefully collectively.”

Gautsche scored the first touchdown of the game when he rumbled 20 yards into the end zone to give the Lobos a 7-0 lead just 1:16 into the first quarter.

Nevada answered with a 12play, 67-yard, 3:58 drive capped by junior running back Stefphon Jefferson’s 1-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 7-7 with 9:39 left in the first quarter.

The Lobos retook the lead on their next possession with Gautsche’s second touchdown of the game, this time from 3 yards out to make it 14-7.

On the Lobos’ first offensive play of the second half, Carrier scampered 76 yards to Nevada’s 3-yard line. Three plays later, freshman halfback Jhurell Pressley scored from 2 yards out to tie the game at 24.

Nevada regained the lead on its next drive thanks to Fajardo’s third and final touchdown pass of the game, taking a 3124 advantage with 4:02 left in the third quarter. For the game, Fajardo completed 18 of 27 passes for 133 yards, made three touchdowns and ran for 186 yards on 20 carries.

The Wolf Pack tallied 491 yards of total offense, and senior safety Matt Raymer, who totaled 12 tackles and a sack, said Fajardo was tough to contain.

“The quarterback really hurt us when he scrambled on the pass plays,” Raymer said. “He’s really fast, and he would just break free. They were a really tough offense to face.”

After receiving a UNM punt, Fajardo dropped back to pass but was intercepted by Bollema.

Then on third down at Nevada’s 13-yard line, Gongbay fumbled to end UNM’s hope of a Senior Day victory.

time of possession (34 minutes and 37 seconds per game), was ranked 15th in fewest penalty yards (37.4 per game), 16th in turnover margin (plus-0.91 per game) and tied for 14th in turnovers forced (23).

UNM also snapped a threeyear losing streak to its in-state rival, New Mexico State.

While it may not have translated into even more wins,

improvement is evident.

“Obviously with a new staff and new coaches, there are going to be growing pains. From where this program was to where we are now, it’s day and night,” Holbrook said. “I know once these guys get familiar with the offense and defense, and continue to grow in the system, those leaps and bounds will be even greater.”

Weekly Horoscopes

by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

‘Sagittarius’ means ‘arrow-guy’ Capricorn—You’ve been feel-

ing the intensely probing vision of the Scorpio sun in a way that is breaking down your sense of self. You can relax a bit this week, as the sun is moving into the sunnier, optimistic sign of Sagittarius.

If you found yourself dissatisfied with what you discovered while probing your inner self, this is the time to make changes accordingly without damaging your self confidence and well-being.

Aquarius—This is a good week to re-evaluate your place in the world, as the scope of your personal power and your influence in broadening. If you don’t know what you’re doing, now is the time to get it straight. You don’t have to make a hard decision, but try to give it some serious thought.

Sure, you can use this energy for your own benefit, but you’ll be truly satisfied by helping others through one of your own talents.

Pisces—It is a better week for you than last, and you can expect a deeper level to your relationships.

You’ve been feeling disconnected lately, and you may perceive this as cool feelings toward you from people you thought you were close to. These periods happen, and fortunately yours is coming to a close. Take time to reconnect, and you’ll find your social life stimulates all areas of life for you this week.

Aries—Your moods tend to be intense, and unless you have a full plate on your hands, restlessness is about to be the death of you.

Your impulsiveness and rather grandiose view of life will be the driving force behind your actions, so try your best to have purpose in mind so you aren’t wasting this precious surge of energy. Life isn’t all about reaching goals, so do have fun. Just think of what your future self would say about your behavior.

Taurus—You have the vague sense that you are onto something, and I would urge you to pursue this intuitively without waiting for the concrete evidence.

The evidence of your success will come through the pursuit of this mysterious ghost, leading you to the place you haven’t been able to find through your tried-and-true methods. The sun’s transit into Sagittarius mid-week will lend you the optimism you need to follow through.

Gemini—Satisfaction will be an elusive state this week, and really a fruitless goal to pursue. Instead of focusing on the result of your efforts or attaining a goal, take pleasure in the process of getting there. This is a good way to overcome any perfectionist tendencies that have been keeping your from fully realizing some of the loftier inspirations that have crossed your mind.

Cancer—The last couple of weeks have taken you out of a comfort zone, and away from the damage you were doing to yourself. Every now and then, it is healthy to question your routines and habits, as the Scorpio influence has been encouraging folks to do lately. Domestic affairs are uncomfortable, but not for long. This is a transition period, so take care of yourself now and know what you truly want to keep this from happening again.

Leo—The gloom is about to lift, but don’t expect life to be much easier than it has been. The problems you face are rooted in the difficulties of transition, and you’ll look back on this time as one in which you learned a lot about who you really are. The difference now is that when examining the state of your life, you won’t be haunted by hopelessness. Things are looking up, just keep your eyes on the silver linings.

Virgo—This week is a good time to get your life in order, whether through re-organization, clutter clearing, bodily and spiritual cleansing or all of the above. Be ruthless about cutting out the harmful aspects of your lifestyle, because you know you deserve better treatment than that. It won’t be easy, so reward yourself along the way. You’ll do well with a buddy in tow who has goals and values similar to yours.

Libra—An overwhelming feeling of loneliness may not have anything to do with you actually being alone, and more to do with your own insecurities. Scorpio influences are putting a magnifying glass on everyone’s lives, and you may be discovering some realities about yourself and your circumstances you aren’t too happy about. It’ll be easy to laugh at yourself, and this week humor will go a long ways in easing your pain.

Scorpio—At the same time you’ve been feeling more in your element than ever, you’ve been feeling at the brink almost constantly for the past couple of weeks. You know it’s time for some big changes, and you’re getting a pretty clear idea of what needs to happen. Now is the time to take action, and it will be a glorious battle for what’s right in your life. Slay that which does not belong, the painful relationships and the damaging habits.

Sagittarius—You’ve been in a shadowy place for the past month, and the outside world is finally inviting you back into it. Remember what you learned about yourself back in the drudgery of the introspective, analytical sun in the Scorpio phase. Your journey toward self-improvement is not over yet, but it is time to reintegrate with society and figure out how you can be a better part of it while still doing what you love in life.

‘Quality’ teams a stumbling block for Lobos UNM loses to Nevada 31-24 in final home game

by Thomas Romero-Salas sports@dailylobo.com @ThomasRomeroS

Although the UNM football team has shown marked improvement this season, it has still failed to beat a team with a winning record.

On Saturday, UNM lost 31-24 to Nevada (7-4, 4-3 MWC) at University Stadium in front of an announced crowd of 17,290.

The Lobos’ four wins for the season came against Southern University (3-7), Texas State (3-7), New Mexico State (1-9) and Hawaii University (1-9).

Head football coach Bob Davie said he’s frustrated by the fact that the Lobos can’t seem to beat a quality football team.

“I’ve never been around it where you can’t get it solved. We just can’t get it solved,” he said.

“We’ve come a long, long way, but we’re still not good enough to win these types of games.”

UNM (4-8, 1-6 MWC) is now on a five-game losing streak, and junior running back Kasey Carrier said the team needs to continue to learn from each loss.

“They’ve (the losses) definitely been frustrating because we haven’t been coming out with a victory,” he said.

Trailing Nevada 31-24 with fewer than six minutes left in the game, junior linebacker Dallas Bollema picked off Nevada sophomore quarterback Cody Fajardo and ran the ball back to the Wolf Pack’s 14-yard line.

However, Bollema’s interception was all for naught. On third-

The Lobos lost their final home game of the season 31-24, their fifth consecutive loss. and-7, sophomore running back Crusoe Gongbay fumbled and Nevada sophomore defensive tackle Jordan Hanson recovered.

The Wolf Pack then ran out the clock to hand UNM a 31-24 defeat on Senior Day. The Lobos went 2 of 11 on

third down, and Davie said it was a chess match on the field.

“No matter how hard you play, no matter how much effort you give, no matter how much chemistry you have, how much discipline you have, if you don’t execute on defense and give up

plays, you can’t win,” he said.

The Lobos tallied 352 rushing yards but went 0-2 passing for 0 yards. It was the first time UNM did not record any passing yards since Sept. 26, 1964, when the Lobos also completed 0 of 2 passes against Montana.

Davie said freshman Cole Gautsche isn’t developed enough as a quarterback for the Lobos to start airing it out.

“Everybody wants us to throw it a little more, but that’s really

‘Attitude, energy, focus — I could not be more happy’ Davie praises hardworking, resilient seniors

by J.R. Oppenheim

assistantsports@dailylobo.com @JROppenheim Throughout the season, first-year UNM head football coach Bob Davie expressed his love for his team. He repeatedly described his pride in how the players continued to fight through tough times.

The 23 seniors of the 2012 team had their share — and possibly more — of adversity during their playing careers at UNM. Those seniors were recognized during Saturday’s home game against Nevada, their last contest at University Stadium.

The third-, fourth- and fifthyear seniors in particular dealt with some of the toughest times in Lobo football history. UNM had three consecutive one-win seasons from 2009-11 and was seldom competitive. Some national media outlets considered the Lobos the worst team in college football and it was hard to argue against that.

Several players transferred when Davie was hired. Quarterback B.R. Holbrook was the only returning signal-caller at the season’s start, and he hasn’t played since he separated his shoulder on Oct. 27 against Fresno State.

A whole new coaching staff brought different schemes, such as moving from a pass-heavy spread offense to a run-oriented option attack. An attitude focused on discipline was instituted to establish a new Lobo culture. The team embraced these changes, and it has shown on the field.

“Attitude, energy, focus — I could not be more happy. I love these guys,” Davie said. “I told the parents before the game with all the seniors up there, these kids were raised right because they play their butt off and they’ve been through a lot.”

UNM won four games this year but has lost its five most recent contests. The Lobos’ 4-8 mark isn’t a good record by most standards, but it’s better than three wins in three years. Despite blowouts to Texas, Texas Tech and UNLV, the Lobos have at least been competitive. Of the eight losses, only four have been by more than two touchdowns.

The Lobos boast a strong rushing attack that is ranked No. 5 in the nation. They set a school record on Saturday with ten 300yard rushing games, of which nine were consecutive.

“It’s moving in the right direction,” senior tight end

Adria Malcolm/@adriamalcolm / Daily Lobo Seniors Matt Raymer, left, and Joe Stoner celebrate after Raymer made a tackle against Nevada on Saturday at University Stadium. UNM’s 24 seniors have started a culture change for the Lobos.

Lucas Reed said. “It’s night and day compared to last year.

We’ve made a lot of big steps.

We’re bringing pride back to the program. We’re bringing hope

back to the players. You want to go back on the field Monday and you want to try your hardest.”

On defense, senior cornerback Destry Berry sacked Nevada

quarterback Cody Fajardo after a handoff miscue in the backfield.

It was the 20th sack of the season,
