Public Records tries to keep up with requests

by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo

The number of requests for public records has increased more than twofold this year, forcing the University Custodian of Public Records to ask for narrowed searches and extended deadlines.

Between 2005 and 2008, the average number of Information and

Public Records Act requests was 65.

There have been 137 so far this year.

Jeremy Jojola, investigative reporter for KOB Eyewitness News 4, said he filed a request on Oct. 21 asking for e-mails from Athletics Director Paul Krebs relating to the Sept. 20 altercation between head football coach Mike Locksley and assistant coach J.B. Gerald. The request was not filled until Nov. 25, and Jojola said the Custodian pushed the deadline back twice.

“I don’t know how overwhelmed they are over there, but that’s what they told me,” Jojola said.

Anne Murray, University Custodian of Public Records, declined to comment and deferred questions to the University Communication and Marketing Department.

University spokeswoman Karen Wentworth said an increase in IPRA requests often coincides with controversial events. She said former UNM

President Louis Caldera’s departure from the University in 2006 prompted a similar influx of requests, though it wasn’t quite as drastic.

“When he left, there was a big increase in the number of public information records requests, because they wanted to know about the settlement agreement and they wanted to know what his contract said,”

see Requests page 3

The launch of the UNM Foundation’s fundraising campaign next fall will coincide with a transition of the organization’s administration.

Foundation President John Stropp announced Friday that he plans to retire at the end of this fiscal year, after a replacement is found and trained for his position.

In January, the Foundation should launch a nationwide search for a replacement who can take over the campaign, Stropp said.

Stropp, 65, became Foundation president in June 2008. He said the choice to retire was his own.

“It needs to be said that nobody influenced me in this direction in any way or pushed me,” he said. “I can only say that I’ve had the greatest amount of cooperation. I’m a little tired and I’m ready to maybe move down the road to something else. You never know how much time you’ve got left. But I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished.”

When Stropp became president last year, the Foundation became independent from the University. Stropp said the fundraising

Crisis center gets record number of finance-related calls

by Abigail Ramirez Daily Lobo

By the end of this week, the Agora Crisis Center may reach a record 10,000 calls for the year, said Jeremy Jaramillo, ACC director of public relations.

Jaramillo said when he first started

working at Agora nine years ago, the center received about 1,200 calls per year.

“We’ve been increasing steadily,” he said.

The Agora Crisis Center is an all-issue hotline that community members can call to talk about issues from everyday stress to suicides in progress.

Volunteers listen to callers and refer them to community organizations for further treatment.

Jaramillo said there has been an increase in suicide-related calls and callers who talk about financial problems. He said the economy is to blame.

“Financial stressors complicate

Jaramillo said the center

recently began monitoring the number of callers with concerns about financial problems.

“For a while we didn’t track financial-related issues as something that people talk about because we didn’t have that ‘checkbox’ in our database,” he said. “I can tell you anecdotally

Hokona vegetable garden flourishes

by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo

In a few short months, students living in the Hokona residence hall will have fresh vegetables growing outside their windows.

Alex Borowski, a freshman living in Hokona, planted a garden in the courtyard about a month ago, and he said most of the produce should be ready by March or April.

“It used to just be this big patch of dirt. It was covered with weeds and cigarette butts,” he said. “I just wanted to start a garden somewhere on campus.”

Borowski said he is in the Sustainability Studies Program at UNM,

Inside the

Daily Lobo volume 114

issue 74

and his studies gave him the idea to start the garden, which is about 50 square feet and took two hours to plant.

The project was not sponsored by the University, and Borowski said he didn’t get permission from the administration before starting his garden.

“All the RAs I’ve talked to, they like it a lot, but I didn’t go out and seek permission before starting it,” he said. “To me it was like a pretty big eyesore, this courtyard. So, hopefully it’s better.”

Borowski said the plants in his garden include cabbage, snap peas, broccoli, kale, lettuce, garlic, radishes and onions.

Sevy Gurule, student hall director for Hokona, said the Residence Hall Association of Hokona supports the project.

“We think it’s a great idea,” she said. “We are currently starting an Eco-Rep Program within the Residence Hall Association, so we’re all about these types of projects.”

The Eco-Rep Program is a collaborative effort between UNM Recycling, Residence Life and Student Housing and a service learning class.

Borowski said his friends contributed the money and supplies needed to create the garden.

time to November 20, 2009,� Gentry said in the e-mail.

According to the University Business Policies and Procedures Manual, IPRA requests should take no longer than 15 calendar days to be fulfilled, but if a request is deemed “excessively burdensome or broad,� the office can inform the requester of an extended deadline.

In addition to KOB Eyewitness News 4, news outlets including KRQE News 13, the Albuquerque Journal and the Daily Lobo all reported receiving documents after the 15-day

period in recent months.

Jojola said the office asked him to limit the scope of his request shortly after he filed it. “What they wanted me to do was narrow down my request to the actual incident, and that’s exactly what I was looking for, so I agreed,� he said. “I don’t have beef with them being tardy or anything like that. I do have concerns, though, that it did take more than a month.�

In the end, Jojola’s filled records request came to more than 1,100 emails, he said.

to call the hotline, especially with finals right around the corner. “We can help students with life’s pressures that affect their academic success, and directly we can help them with academic stressors and get them to graduation,� he said.

Gardner said sometimes all people need is someone to listen to them, which they don’t always get from the people close to them. “A lot of people at the end of the call say, ‘Thank you so much for listening,’ because a lot of people just don’t listen to them anymore,� she said. “A lot of people are just so busy with their own lives and with their own problems, and it’s nice to be able to call in somewhere where we just listen.�

organization is now well on its way in developing a public campaign. “If I was not probably going to stay for two to three years into the campaign, it would be better for me to announce well in advance so that there are no surprises and to allow for a responsible, orderly transition for new long-term leadership,� Stropp said. “I’m still on the job, and I won’t go anywhere through the fiscal year end.

(It’s) necessary to get the right person in this job to ensure continuity. I won’t be leaving. There won’t be any interim.�

In a statement Monday, President David Schmidly told the Daily Lobo that Stropp’s achievements as Foundation president have benefitted the whole University. “John has accomplished what he set out to do for us — evolve the UNM Foundation into an independent organization, oversee record years of fundraising and prepare for a major comprehensive campaign,� Schmidly said. “We expect he will continue to accomplish great things for UNM until next summer and his most deserved retirement.�

Stropp said the development of the UNM Foundation was a worthwhile endeavor. “It was a great challenge and a way to end my career,� he said. “It was a two-phased initiative.�

In a University-wide statement from the UNM Foundation, a Foundation representative said that the first phase of Stropp’s Foundation goals is complete. The first phase required transitioning the 100-person fundraising staff from the University to a nonprofit corporation.

Stropp said that in the coming years, private foundations will be much more important to universities. “The fact is, the need for private fundraising is going to take on even more importance if the state is not

going to be able to provide more funding. (If), in fact, they are going to have to cut back over the next few years, then the need for private funding is going to be more important,� he said.

The second phase of Stropp’s mission, to develop a major public fundraising campaign, will be in place by next summer, Stropp said. “This campaign is, frankly, playing the part of a galvanizing force to help to focus everybody in the University on one common goal in the next four years,� he said.

Stropp said the campaign’s development is on schedule and will be in its final stages before he steps down. “(The campaign will achieve) an amount beyond the $500 million we announced,� he said.

Other nonprofit foundations estimate that 2010 will be a much more difficult year from a fundraising standpoint despite the changing economy, Stropp said. “From what we can gather talking to our peer nonprofits, ultimately, this may be a tougher year than even that last to raise money,� he said. “I’m here to tell you we are now ahead a few million dollars of our record-setting year going into the calendar year.�

Before he steps down, Stropp said he will continue to work on development and fundraising. “We’ve got enough time to ensure that I finish the body of work that I’ve started,� he said. “We’ll get another person on board and we’ll have an overlap, and that person fully understands the mandate and is a person that is able to work in this system.

We’ll go through a heavy vetting process where people from the University, the board, from the community will all have an opportunity to look at our final candidate and ensure we’ve got the profile of the right person to ensure continuity.�

in some manner, shape or form, but aren’t planning on doing right then and there,� he said.

Gardner said she’s volunteered at the center four years and she can tell it’s gotten a lot busier. “When I first started, there (were) two lines at Agora. Now there’s four, and we’re still constantly on the phone,� she said. “There’s more lines connected to Agora, so there’s double the calls.�

Jaramillo said the increase in calls is also caused by other factors, including increased volunteer recruiting efforts and increased outreach efforts informing community members about the center’s services.

Jaramillo said students are invited

that we’ve had a pretty big increase in that type of call.�

Danielle Gardner, an Agora volunteer, said the economy causes problems to pile up faster. “Because of the economy, everyone is frustrated and stressed,� she said. “So we definitely see a lot of those and a lot more anxiety and depression over unemployment — and it’s kind of a snowball effect once the economy goes.�

Jaramillo said a fifth of the calls received are suicide related, which is somewhat above average. “We have something like 3 to 6 percent of calls that are suicides in progress and about 21 to 25 percent of calls are people talking about suicide

Wentworth said. “Sometimes, it’s driven by events like that that kind of skew the numbers.�

In an e-mail provided by Jojola, Lynn Gentry, assistant to the University Custodian of Public Records, acknowledged that the Custodian was inundated with requests, which is why she asked to extend the deadline from Nov. 9 to Nov. 20 and, later, to Nov. 25. “Due to the sheer volume of emails to be reviewed and the timeconsuming effort this undertaking requires, I’m asking for an extension of

FROM THE WEB In “GPSA ballot won’t include Gonzales,” published Wednesday, the Daily Lobo reported that the graduate and professional student government will hold a special election online next semester. The election will let graduate students vote on their level of confidence in Athletics Director Paul Krebs and whether they want their student fees to support the Athletics Department. The group decided not to include a question of confidence in Vice President of Human Resources Helen Gonzales in the vote.

Nick Geyer, a graduate student in the sports administration program and an athlete on UNM’s golf team, said GPSA will overstep its bounds in holding a special election. Readers at DailyLobo.com responded: by ‘Anonymous’ Posted Monday “That seems like four well-spent hours. I am sure the GPSA’s loud voice, as expressed in a public referendum, will resonate all the way up to the top. It really takes strong leadership to take such bold move. A non-binding vote to be held early next year. Excellent. My only concern is what we will do with the $1.5 million of student fees? Our demand for Locksley to attend anger management classes was undoubtedly an unqualified success. Stung by such rebuke, from the graduate students no less, I am sure Locksley had no choice but to comply. The administration will have no choice but to give in to our demands regarding the allocation of our student fees.” by ‘To Nick Geyer’ Posted Monday “Wow, sounds like you need one less course in the Sports Administration Department and another one or two in Political Science. The whole idea of a direct vote on the resolutions is to give the graduate students as a whole a voice in the matter … What is undemocratic about that? It’s more democratic than a GPSA meeting with six people in attendance.” by ‘UNM Grad Student’ Posted Monday “All this talk and concern from President David Schmidly and (Lee) Peifer about their colleagues’ ‘professional careers’ and no talk about ‘professional responsibilities.’” by ‘UNM Employee’ Posted Monday “Helen is just as responsible and GPSA knows it. The whole thing reeks of a cover-up, more of the UNM administration’s lies and corruption.”

Protect your identity this season

by Mike Carr

Daily Lobo guest columnist Around eight million people are expected to be victims of identity theft in 2009. With the holiday shopping season upon us, here are a few tips that may help you from becoming an identity theft statistic: Reduce the number of credit and debit cards you carry in your wallet and keep track of the cards you do carry. If your wallet is lost or stolen, you will want to know which cards were in it so you can notify the appropriate financial institution.

When using your credit and debit cards, pay close attention to how the magnetic stripe information is swiped by the waiter or clerk.

Dishonest employees have been known to use small hand-held devices called skimmers to quickly swipe cards and then later use the account number for Internet shopping.

Don’t use debit cards when shopping

online. Use a credit card because you are better protected in case of fraud.

If you shop online, make sure your computer’s personal firewall is enabled and that your anti-virus software is active and up-todate. Symantec Endpoint Protection, an anti-virus software, for home and work use is available at no cost to all UNM students, staff and faculty. Visit it.unm.edu/download to get your free copy of Symantec.

Never give out personal identifying information like your checking account, credit card or Social Security number over the telephone or via the Internet unless you initiate the call (and don’t call the phone numbers listed in “bank” e-mails as the phone numbers may be fake, too).

Never give out your password or PIN for your check card, credit card or ATM card to anyone.

Don’t carry your Social Security card with you except for situations when it is required,

like the first day on the job.

Don’t leave mail in your mailbox overnight on weekends; promptly remove mail from your mailbox after delivery and deposit outgoing mail at the post office. Remember to shred old bills and bank statements rather than just tossing them.

Check your accounts frequently and contact your bank or credit union if you notice any suspicious activity. Order and thoroughly review copies of your credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies.

Visit www.AnnualCreditReport.com (not www.FreeAnnualCreditReport.com) If you have questions about computer security or have ideas for future topics, please feel free to contact me at mcarr@unm.edu.

Mike Carr is the UNM Director of Security & Quality Assurance.

LETTERS Residence Life failed to enforce its policies in ASUNM elections Editor, I take much interest in the political letters submitted to this publication, even the ones I don’t agree with. It’s great to see a student body discussing hot topics such as social issues, the Iraq war and happenings in the economy. However, while we’ve been so busy discussing such national governmental issues, we have overlooked an unfortunate and appalling student government fiasco here in our own backyard. The illegitimacy of the recent ASUNM election’s results is something that has been swept under the rug not only by the ASUNM Elections Commission, but more importantly by UNM Residence Life.

It’s disgusting how a division within UNM itself has been able to clearly defy its own rules and in turn allow Resident Advisers to throw protocol out the window in order to save face in front of the UNM community. The Residence Life application rules clearly state the following: “Residence Advisers will assume no officer positions or chairperson positions in campus activities nor be a member of hall

or campus student government.”

In a past article Patrick Call, director of Residence Life and Student Housing, stated the following: “There’s a piece in our agreement with them that talks about that (not serving as a member of student government), but it is really intended for folks if they want to run for ASUNM president or vice president.” Call states no rule was broken, only the rule was misinterpreted.

Mr. Call, do you really expect students of this higher learning institution to believe you? It is obvious your department has failed to enforce its own policies and instead of correcting the mistake and being embarrassed in front of the whole student body, you use these petty language tactics and blame “misinterpretation.”

Your rules are clearly stated on your Web site.

If you wanted them to mean something different they should state something different.

I am sure you could’ve taken your application rules to the English department or across Lomas Boulevard to the Law School to have someone revise them for you. It’s utterly outrageous you and our department are standing behind the clear violation of the rules, and claiming the election outcome was legitimate.

As for the ASUNM Elections Commission, stating this matter is out of your jurisdiction

is a simple cop out. These elections are your elections. If candidates have broken a campus department’s rules prohibiting them from participating in your elections then you should act as ultimate enforcer and bar their engagement in your elections.

Brian Moore, you are correct in stating ASUNM doesn’t prohibit senators from being Residence Advisers, however Residence Life prohibits Residence Advisers from being senators, despite their inefficiency in writing clear and concise rules. Let’s hope none of your committee members are in charge of state or federal elections someday.

For those who “won” the elections, the feeling of knowing you have broken rules and your department has come to your defense must sit well with you. None of you have done the right thing and admitted your wrong doing. Your reputations would not be tainted, rather the student body would look at you honest individuals, with some integrity. However, doing the right thing would entail possessing a certain level of class, a level that has yet to be seen from you and your department.

Alexei Druzhinin / AP Photo Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin places a bouquet of flowers at the site of a night club fire tragedy in downtown Perm, about 700 miles east of Moscow, on Tuesday. Authorities said more than 100 people died and more than 100 were injured. The fire tore through the popular Lame Horse night club in Perm late Friday after fireworks set a suspended plastic ceiling ablaze, filling the crowded club with thick black smoke.

Moscow — The fire chief of a Russian city where a nightclub blaze killed 119 revelers was suspended along with five subordinates Tuesday and authorities said inspection records for the club appear to have been falsified.

President Dmitry Medvedev and prime minister Vladimir Putin urged a broad review of fire regulations, demanding tougher enforcement and lambasting officials and businessmen for their irresponsibility.

nightclub in the city of Perm broke out early Saturday when an indoor fireworks display ignited the plastic ceiling, which was decorated with wooden branches. The blaze spread swiftly while the hundreds of customers tried to flee through a single exit. Many of the victims succumbed to gases or were crushed in the throng. About 130 people were hospitalized, scores of them with severe burns. More victims died on Tuesday, bringing the death toll to 119, the Emergency Situations Ministry said.

A top Emergencies Ministry official, Yuri Deshyovikh, said Tuesday that the paperwork showing the club’s fire-safety measures had been approved in 2003 by a man who had left his post as a fire inspector the previous year. “It’s clear that it’s criminal,� he said, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency.

Six fire officials including the fire chief of the city of 1 million people some 700 miles (1200 kilometers) east of Moscow were suspended during the official investigation, the emergencies ministry said.

Four people, including the club’s co-owner and manager, have been

arrested on charges including violation of fire-safety standards and negligence causing the death of two or more people.

In a pre-dawn visit to Perm, Putin laid flowers near the site of the fire and told local officials that “the businessmen in this case violated everything there was to violate.� “I don’t understand how they could use, in a closed room, pyrotechnics that had direct instruction written on it in Russian: indoor use prohibited,� he said.

Enforcement of fire-safety standards is infamously lax in Russia which records up to 18,000 fire deaths a year, several times the percapita rate in the United States and other Western countries.

DNA testing may unsolve 25-year-old murder case

by John Christoffersen The Associated Press

New Haven, Conn. — Alex Palmieri was 15 when witnesses say he was repeatedly beaten with a baseball bat in a Bridgeport garage in 1984. “But boss! But boss!� he pleaded as he fell to the floor, they said.

The teenager, who had shown promise as an opera singer, was then stuffed into a refrigerator that was dumped in Bridgeport Harbor, the witnesses said. Two years later, a sneaker and foot bones washed ashore. His girlfriend identified the sneaker as Palmieri’s.

Now, 25 years later, the man convicted of the killing is trying to win a new trial with DNA testing. But there’s an unusual twist: Thomas Marra Jr. wants DNA tests done on the bones to determine whether authorities actually found the victim.

The Connecticut Supreme Court hears arguments Wednesday on Marra’s appeal.

A Superior Court judge last year decided against requiring Palmieri’s brothers to give DNA samples to be compared with the remains.

Kenneth Fox, Marra’s attorney, said for now he is only seeking access to the bones to have them tested to see if DNA can be extracted.

He argues in court papers that comparing the DNA samples with samples from the victim’s family will show the bones did not belong to the victim.

DNA testing was not available at the time the bones were found.

DNA cases typically involve showing whether a defendant matches physical evidence from a crime scene. Fox says the case is unusual because it involves using DNA to challenge the identity of the victim. “We want to show they’re not Alex Palmieri’s bones,� Fox said. “The bones were the state’s only real evidence that Palmieri was dead, assuming you believe they were his bones.�

The Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyers Association is supporting the appeal, saying in court papers the decision may affect the availability of DNA testing “for other present and future criminal defendants.�

news in brief

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Tuesday rejected an effort by abortion opponents to tighten restrictions in the health care overhaul bill on taxpayer dollars for the procedure, but it was unlikely to be the last word on the divisive issue.

By a vote of 54-45, the Senate sidetracked an amendment by Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah that would ban any insurance plan getting taxpayer dollars from offering abortion coverage. The restrictions mirrored provisions in the House-passed health care bill.

The Senate bill currently allows insurance plans to cover abortions, but requires that they can only be paid for with private money. The legislation calls for insurance plans that would receive federal subsidies in a new insurance marketplace to strictly separate public funds from private dollars that would be used to pay for abortion.

“As our bill currently reads, no insurance plan in the new marketplace, whether private or public, would be allowed to use public funds for abortion,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. The Senate vote — hailed as a victory by abortion rights supporters — could complicate prospects for President Barack Obama’s health overhaul.

LUCASVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Ohio executed a killer Tuesday by performing the nation’s first lethal injection using a single drug, a supposedly less painful method than previous executions that required three drugs.

Kenneth Biros was pronounced dead at 11:47 a.m. Tuesday, about 10 minutes after one dose of thiopental sodium began flowing into his veins at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville. The U.S. Supreme Court had rejected his final appeal about two hours before.

Experts predicted the thiopental sodium would take longer to kill the 51-year-old Biros than the convention three-drug cocktail, but the 10 minutes it apparently took him to die was about the usual length of time even under the method previously used by Ohio and still used by most other death penalty states.

The mother, sister and brother of Biros’ victim, Tami Engstrom, applauded as the warden announced the time of death.

“Rock on,” Debi Heiss, Tami’s sister, said a moment earlier as the curtains were drawn for the coroner to check on Biros. “That was too easy.”

WOODBRIDGE, Va. (AP) — Authorities say an “upset student” is in custody after pointing a rifle at a teacher and firing shots in a classroom at a community college in Virginia. No injuries are reported.

The shooting happened Tuesday afternoon at Northern Virginia Community College’s campus in Woodbridge, about 25 miles south of Washington, D.C. Prince William County Police spokeswoman Kim Chinn says the suspect is an “upset student” who was armed with a high-powered rifle. The teacher dropped to the floor when she saw the gun. It’s not immediately known how or why the shooting stopped.

Provost Sam Hill says two shots were fired and police responded quickly.

The campus was locked down.

SWAT teams were searching the campus before releasing students from classrooms.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Federal health researchers have tested nearly 2,200 people in northeastern Pennsylvania for a genetic mutation associated with a rare blood cancer.

The testing found the mutation in 19 people, or 1.6 percent of those who participated in the study. Scientists don’t yet know how prevalent this mutation is in the general population.

The testing was performed after government epidemiologists confirmed a cluster of polycythemia (pah-lee-sy-THEE’-mee-ah) vera, or PV, a cancer that results in the overproduction of red blood cells and can lead to heart attack or stroke.

The cost of seeds for the garden was about $25, Borowski said, and the students also had to mix organic soil into the existing dirt.

Danielle Stevens, who helped Borowski start the garden, said community gardens like this one show the importance of locally-grown food.

“It’s just important to keep as much produce grown locally as possible, and community gardens clearly expose people to the variety of stuff we can grow in New Mexico,” she said.

Borowski said that after his garden was set up, he began looking for funding to allow students living on campus to start window gardens in their dorm rooms next semester.

“You can sort of plant them in cut-open plastic bottles. You can put the soil and then things will grow in the windows,” he said. “I have an east-facing window, so I get a lot of morning sun, and different people have windows facing different directions, so we could grow a lot of different things.”

Borowski said he hopes to get a $50 grant for every student who wants to start a window garden, and the funds could come from the Hokona Community Association operating budget.

Yarrow Allaire, who also helped with the garden, said it’s important to grow food locally and educate students about community gardening.

“Everyone eats, so it’s really

important to know where our food comes from and to be able to grow our own food. The sense of community that gardens create is really essential,” she said. “I think everyone should go down and check it out and do what they can to help out, because UNM could really use a space like what Alex is trying to create.”

Double road games may decide national ranking

by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo

The UNM men’s basketball team is potentially two consecutive wins away from a national ranking.

The Lobos (8-0) are floating around the outskirts of the top 25 poll — getting votes in the AP and USA Today/ESPN coaches’ poll.

And if college basketball kept track of the top 50, the Lobos would be ranked about 35th. But UNM’s two-game road schedule, which begins Wednesday, will be the ultimate test.

The limelight is a boost for the players, said Lobo head coach Steve Alford, but more than helping out the current team, the attention gives recruiting a shot in the arm.

“Anytime your name gets mentioned nationally, that always helps your recruiting efforts,” Alford said.

“When that is taking place, you kind of amp up your recruiting efforts. During that time, it is always more fun calling your recruits when you are 8-0 than when you are 4-4.

So, you take advantage of that, because you don’t know how long this is going to last.”

If the Lobos sweep their road schedule this week, the spotlight will, no doubt, remain on them, especially with No. 16 Texas A&M slated for Saturday night.

But first, Alford said, UNM can’t look past San Diego.

“I haven’t seen Texas A&M play one game,” Alford said. “I haven’t seen them on tape. It was very similar to when we played Cal. I turned my attention to Cal after NMSU at about 11 that night. We will turn our attention late, late Wednesday West Coast time to Texas A&M (after San Diego).”

The Toreros (4-3) are a guardheavy team mirroring the Lobos.

San Diego is led by Brandon Johnson and De’Jon Jackson, who average nearly 28 points combined.

However, the Lobos have a win against a mutual opponent (UC Riverside). Early in season, the Lobos dismissed UC Riverside in The Pit,

Consistency an issue going in to face Arizona

by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

Is the UNM women’s basketball team in the midst of an identity crisis?

Truthfully, the Lobos’ play is, at this point, utterly amorphous, and UNM has yet to form a composite personality this season.

In their losses, the Lobos (5-3) have been in a stream of consciousness disarray.

There have been bright spots, like, say, center Valerie Kast scoring 14 points in a 65-55 loss to Texas Tech.

But inconsistency has held UNM back, point guard Amy Beggin said.

Even Beggin, whom the Lobos normally rely on, hasn’t been 100 percent, though none of it is her fault.

She has been limited by a bothersome ankle injury, which once kept her out of the starting lineup on Nov. 27 against North Carolina A&T, snapping a 73-game starting streak.

Still, the Lobos have an opportunity to move toward having an identity epiphany when they travel to face Arizona, a team UNM’s split its previous 14 games against, including three losses in the last four contests between the two schools.

Perhaps, Beggin said, some of the troubles UNM’s had are equal parts not meshing and not having continuity in the starting lineup.

To date, Lobo coach Don Flanagan has gone with three different starting lineups in search of the right mix.

Because of an early season injury to Georonika Jackson, Flanagan started guard Lauren Taylor in her place during an exhibition game against Eastern New Mexico, and, thanks to a 20-point outburst in which Taylor didn’t miss a shot, she remained in the starting lineup.

Flanagan started forward Porche Torrance against Toledo.

Ranking

Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Amy Beggin fends off a batch of Florida Gulf Coast defenders in this file photo. Beggin and the Lobos, 5-3 overall, will face Arizona in Tucson today.

Besides Taylor and Amanda Best, nobody on the Lobos’ roster has started all eight games.

Whatever the case, Beggin said, the Lobos should be able to have success no matter who is on the floor.

“It’s different when you don’t have some players out there,” she said. “But, at the same time, we practice with each other every day.

I don’t think it should be an excuse for things not going right, not clicking. I think we have enough talent on this team, enough leadership on this team, that we should be rolling no matter who’s out there.”

To be fair, it’s still early enough in the season that UNM has time to deduce how to fix its glitches.

Uncharacteristically, the Lobos dropped a road game to Texas Tech, a team Flanagan said, before the game, wasn’t as prestigious a program as it had been about 10 years ago.

In that game, the baskets were hard to come by for UNM, and the team shot just 35 percent from the field.

Flanagan said UNM’s coping

taking an early first-half lead and never giving it up, finishing them off 67-51. Last Friday, San Diego narrowly fell to Riverside on the road, 58-55.

But Lobo guard Roman Martinez said opponents can’t necessarily be measured that way. Martinez, who was named Mountain West Conference Player of the Week on Monday, said The Pit gives the Lobos a hearty advantage, but playing on the road is a different beast.

“To tell you the truth, road games are different. There are teams who come out who can score in bunches, or calls might go another way,” Martinez said. “I don’t like to relate games like that. I have done it in the past and it has hurt us. I think it is really important for us to focus on it as a road game, and we need to take care of business.”

The Lobos have taken care of business on the road this season, though they haven’t had much experience there. Only two of their eight games have been away from The Pit. And one of their only slips in the second half came against the Aggies in Las Cruces.

Again on Saturday, the Lobos let a huge lead die down against NMSU in The Pit. Yet they ended up winning by 17. And even when the Lobos taper off in the second quarter, Alford said he can let it slide.

“I would like to be coaching the perfect game every night, but it’s not going to happen,” Alford said. “When I look at that and I look at that on tape, we just got a little careless. But when you are up 26 at home, you are probably going to get careless. And we are going to stay on top of them, but I don’t know how I couldn’t be pleased through eight games.”

When it comes to turnarounds in NCAA Division I volleyball, Jeff Nelson has orchestrated the ultimate at UNM. When Nelson arrived in Albuquerque in 2007, the Lobos were in the middle of 13 straight losing seasons and a 32-88 stretch in Mountain West Conference play.

A perennial MWC cellar dweller prior to his arrival, the Lobos have now posted three straight winning seasons under Nelson’s guidance.

Nelson has amassed a 58-30 overall record, the fastest UNM coach to reach 50 wins in program history.

UNM has now become a contender in MWC play, compiling a 28-21 league mark and finishing in the top half of conference in each of the past three seasons.

But perhaps the biggest indicator of Nelson’s success is this season’s at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, the first for the Lobo volleyball program since 1994.

“The important thing is that the program is moving forward,” Nelson said of his successes. “You can measure a program’s success a number of ways. In athletics, ultimately it’s wins and losses. But when you look

UNM concluded its season on Friday with a loss in the NCAA Tournament to Hawaii, 3-0, at the University of Southern California’s Galen Center. at everything — attendance, academics, community involvement — Lobo volleyball is miles ahead of where it was.”

UNM ended its season last Friday with a 3-0 loss to third-ranked Hawaii in Los Angeles. The Lobos were 20-10 on the year and 10-6 in conference.

Still, Nelson sees the positive in advancing to the NCAA Tournament and playing a perennial powerhouse in the first round.

“Getting the opportunity to play a team of the caliber of Hawaii was great,” Nelson said. “It can only help us. We saw what the next level looks like, and now we have to work to get there.”

UNM has exorcised many demons during Nelson’s tenure. The Lobos snapped losing streaks of 23 matches against BYU, 10 matches against NMSU, nine matches against Utah and eight matches against UNLV. This season, UNM won for the first time against Utah on the road since 1996 and beat NMSU for the first time in Las Cruces since 1989.

“The defining moment for us this season was beating Utah at Utah and NMSU at NMSU back-to-back,” said sophomore libero Allison Buck.

“That’s always a challenge for us, and we finally did it. It gave our team so much confidence, and especially in November — late in the season — we were able to carry the momentum into the rest of conference.”

Individually, three players garnered all-conference honors in senior outside hitter Rose Morris, junior right-side hitter Taylor Hadfield and junior setter Jade Michaelsen.

Senior blocker Anna Lehne left her mark among the best blockers in UNM’s history, finishing in the top-5

in both solo and block assists. Michaelsen recorded her 3,000th assist against TCU on Nov. 20.

“We have a solid team,” Nelson said. “We had great senior leadership from Rose, Anna and Allie [Suiter]. They are the last three players who were here when I came in, and they’ve worked hard to raise their games.”

Nelson has also helped transform Johnson Gym into one of the more difficult venues for opposing teams to play in. The Lobos went 11-4 at home in 2009 and finished the season ranked No. 24 nationally in home attendance, averaging 1,677 spectators per match. With UNM’s attendance nearly quadrupling since Nelson’s first season, 2009 was the first year the Lobos averaged more than 1,000 fans at each home game.

In addition, Lobo volleyball has established a growing legion of die-hard supporters, as evidenced by the 150 fans who travelled with the team to Los Angeles to watch the first round NCAA Tournament match.

“All the fan support is huge for us,” Nelson said. “It makes it fun to play at home, and it makes it difficult for our opponents to come into Johnson and play. Our fans are loud and full of energy, and the team feeds off of it.”

And the most exciting part? The 2009 season is just the beginning for Lobo volleyball.

“We have five starters returning next year,” Nelson said. “But the main thing is that we want to make the NCAA Tournament more than a goal. It should be an expectation for us ever year … We have some great recruits coming in, and every year is going to be better and better for us.”

from page 9

with a mental block, but nonetheless he is eternally optimistic the Lobos will rebound out of their shooting rut when they face the Wildcats. “(We need to) visualize positive outcomes seeing your shot go in and then putting in repetition,” he said. “That doesn’t assure you of hitting your shots, but I think it’s more being confident every time you take a shot. We were talking about that in practice, too, because I don’t see that lack of confidence in practice. So, the conversion from practice to game — that’s the tough part to teach, but I think we’ll stop it. Either that,

or it’ll be negative reinforcement — that means running.”

For the time being, Beggin said the Lobos can work on not letting early deficits affect their psyche.

“Well I think it’s something we need to get a little bit better at,” she said. “At New Mexico State, we showed a lot of it. We got down and we came right back at them. We didn’t do that last game at Tech.

They got us down and we weren’t able to get back up. As a unit, just when people have us down, and we face some adversity, we need to just keep battling, keep fighting the whole time.”
