Buying between the lines

by Nikki Raz Daily Lobo

Starting a new chapter each semester doesn’t have to be so expensive.

Representatives from Samees’s Textbooks said they have been selling UNM textbooks for less than the UNM Bookstore since 2008.

Students from CNM and UNM have bought books from Samees’s Textbooks, said Brian Yu, Samees’s Textbooks manager, but he refused to say how much his sales have increased. Textbook sales are bound to grow as more students become familiar with the services Samees’s $150

provide, he said.

“Our sales have increased from last year so we have been getting a percentage of UNM’s customers in our store,” Yu said.

Melanie Sparks, the UNM Bookstore director, said she has not noticed a drop in sales since Samees’s opened up west of campus along Central Avenue.

Both bookstores buy their books from publishers and wholesalers based on what professors have requested.

The UNM Bookstore is contracted with the University, which Sparks said will keep their customers.

“The thing that makes the UNM Bookstore is that we are a part of the University, so all of the proceeds go back to the University,” Sparks said.

Student Kathryn Romero said she saved $90 last semester by going to Samees’s to buy her books.

“I would recommend anyone buying their books at Samees’s,” Romero said. “I mean, if you can get the same book for $50 less, why wouldn’t you? You can support your school in other ways than buying their books.”

GPSA urges participation in Athletics election

by Pat Lohmann

UNM

$ 30

The UNM Athletics Department requested more than $1 million of student fees at the Student Fee Review Board hearing Saturday, but the Department could not outline how the money would be allocated.

The Board will vote to allocate the $1.5 million of student fees Feb. 5.

Graduate and Professional Student Association President Lissa Knudsen, who sits on the Board, said the Athletics Department failed to detail where the student fees would be allocated.

“We specifically asked for a revenue and budget breakdown this year but Athletics did not provide us with that,” she said. “We would like to see specifically where the student fee funding is going so we know it is going to all those good things that we absolutely support and that it is not going to salaries.”

Athletics representative Rich Weig-Pickering said it was difficult to produce the student fee allocation in detail. He said this is because

Graduate and professional students have the next four days to share their opinions about the UNM Athletics administration.

The GPSA decided in late-December to have a “no-confidence” vote in Athletics Director Paul Krebs and his handling of the Sept. 20 Locksley incident. Students can also vote to encourage the Student Fee Review Board to reallocate student fees from Athletics.

The election will take place from Jan. 25 to Jan. 28. All UNM graduate students will receive an e-mail notification with directions on how to vote on Monday — and are encouraged to vote, according to a Jan. 24 press release from GPSA. GPSA President Lissa Knudsen said that of the roughly 6,000

Staff Report Daily Lobo

Being bitten by a viper in Barcelona over the summer left Eva Dameron with a 30 percent chance to live.

If she can handle that, she can handle being the new editor-inchief of the Daily Lobo.

She showed up on the first day in her bathrobe to encourage a fun and comfortable working environment.

“I didn’t want to worry too much on my first day, so my bathrobe is to remind me to not panic and that everything will work out,” she said.

The Publications Board appointed Dameron as editor-in-chief Friday. Dameron replaced Rachel Hill after Hill resigned due to medical reasons.

ing the job,” Hill said. “I deeply regret having to end my time as editorin-chief at the Daily Lobo. … I know that Eva Dameron and the staff will continue doing their best to make it great.”

The Lobo staff held a forum last Tuesday where they voted Dameron as the preferred candidate for the job.

Dameron has worked at the paper for more than five years in positions including writing, editing and designing. Dameron said she didn’t have plans to apply for the position — it just kind of happened.

Dameron said she doesn’t have a big agenda for changing the Lobo.

Things will just happen as they do, she said.

“I kind of just jumped right into it,” she said. “Sometimes if you think about things too long, you get scared. I’m here as more of an editor to sift through and see what everyone’s got... I’ll develop ideas and ways to do things as we go along, but I don’t have a big plan to stamp onto the newsroom right now.”

THIS WEEK’S POLL: Thursday marked a significant change in American politics when the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that government officials may not ban political spending by corporations and unions in candidate elections. Do you think corporations should have limits on their political spending capabilities?

Yes, corporate political spending will let special interest groups have a much larger influence on political figures.

No, free political spending will ultimately aid in the preservation of our democratic society.

No, their spending practices will never change the way our elections or government functions.

Yes, corporations do not deserve the same rights as individuals.

LETTERS Scandal-ridden Krebs deserves no-confidence vote Editor, On Dec. 5, the Graduate and Professional Student Association Council overwhelmingly voted to have the GPSA membership’s voice heard by having a special election with regard to how Senior Vice President of Athletics Paul Krebs handled the Locksley/Gerald incident.

The council has called for a “no-confidence” vote in Mr. Krebs’ leadership of the Athletics Department, they have requested that the UNM Board of Regents launch a third-party, independent review of the incident, and have asked that the Student Fee Review Board only fund projects that further the University’s mission statement.

At the heart of these ballot questions is the Sept. 20 altercation between UNM head football coach Mike Locksley and assistant coach J.B. Gerald in which Locksley allegedly punched and choked Gerald during a coaches meeting. The next day, Gerald filed a police report with the Albuquerque Police Department, but UNM didn’t immediately investigate. When it did, it did so internally, which is against

GPSA resolutions are vague, a waste of funding and time Editor, This coming Monday, Jan. 25, the Graduate and Professional Student Association will be holding special elections to consider four resolutions passed by the GPSA in the fall. Two of these resolutions involve votes of no confidence for Athletics Director Paul Krebs, a third for the Regents to investigate the incident involving head football coach Mike Locksley, and a fourth involving funding for the Athletics Department. For the following reasons, I encourage the UNM graduate and professional students to vote against these resolutions: The resolution regarding funding is vague and harms people who have no responsibility in the events that have led to the resolution. What determines whether a program is operating in consistence with the mission of the University, and who makes that determination? That is the only standard that this resolution provides and it is completely subjective and arbitrary. More importantly, if student fee funding were to be pulled from the Athletics Department, all student-athletes would be effected. Student-athletes have nothing to do with the problems in the Athletics Department that the GPSA is attempting to respond to. Student fees are not allocated only to certain areas, like athletics tutors or

UNM’s Human Resources policies. Several weeks later at a press conference, when Krebs was asked why he violated the UNM policy on workplace violence, he said that as a Senior Vice President of Athletics, he shouldn’t be expected to follow all UNM policies.

The result of that internal investigation by the Athletics Department was that Locksley received a verbal warning — what the media called a slap on the wrist. Only when there was uproar from faculty and staff about the internal investigation did the UNM Human Resources Department step in to do an investigation.

Then the notes from the original investigation were destroyed. All of this was under Paul Krebs’ watch. But there’s more. When Locksley was first hired, he allegedly fired Silvia Lopez from his staff for not being young or pretty enough. Ms. Lopez filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint against Locksley and a lawsuit against UNM. When interviewed and asked who else treated her poorly, Ms. Lopez named Krebs — also under Krebs’ watch.

We’ve all seen the Elizabeth Lambert hairpulling incident on national TV and YouTube. I know it was blown out of proportion, and I feel

for the young lady, but it just added to the embarrassment UNM has faced from UNM Athletics under Krebs’ watch.

All of this national and international embarrassment for UNM was courtesy of UNM Athletics — under the watch of Paul Krebs.

To add insult to injury, UNM students are being mercilessly taxed, via their student fees, to subsidize UNM Athletics.

Does this sound right? Don’t you want your money back? Don’t you want unbiased person to investigate what really happened when Locksley allegedly assaulted Gerald?

Don’t you want to tell Paul Krebs you don’t like the way he has handled the whole incident? And oh, by the way, you won’t like the way he’s managed the Athletics Department.

If any or all your answers to the above were “yes,” then get to your computer and vote “no confidence” in Paul Krebs, that you want an independent investigation and you want to send a message that our student fees are better spent on programs that enhance your learning experience at UNM.

academic counselors; they are allocated to the Athletics Department in general. The Athletics Department’s 2010 fiscal year budget has over $1.5 million from mandatory student fees, amounting to 5.5 percent of all Athletics Department revenue. Although this is a small fraction of the Athletics Department’s budget, we cannot use arbitrary standards when determining which organization receives student funding. If we do this for athletics, then should we not apply a similar process for other organizations that receive student fees? How many of you would like your programs held to such an arbitrary standard?

The resolutions for votes of no confidence in Paul Krebs and his handling of the September Locksley incident are simply wastes of time.

The incident is in the past and punishments have been determined and served. This resolution will not change the administration of the Athletics Department or cause there to be further consequences for those involved.

Calling on the Regents to begin a formal investigation into the Locksley incident and Krebs’ handling of it is also a waste time, as well as money. I would much rather have our Regents looking at how to keep tuition from being raised in this economy or how to provide us with the best professors and instructors possible. The money to carry out such an investigation is better spent elsewhere, assuming it even exists at all right now.

These resolutions are not about the GPSA’s desire to improve the state of the Athletics

Department at UNM. If it were, taking money from innocent student-athletes would not be an option. The GPSA representatives pushing these resolutions are simply looking to get their names in the newspaper and to increase the illusion of their power by continuing to drag this situation out. They have managed to get the city newspapers and television stations to pay attention to them and interview them. Yet, so far this academic year, what has the GPSA accomplished?

An entire semester was spent focused on this one issue, yet there are many more important and relevant issues that the GPSA could have addressed. Issues such as developing a strategic plan to increase allocations to graduate students for research and conferences, creating a strong partnership with the University’s Recruitment Department, helping to bridge the gap with campus diversity, and constructing community outreach programs. So I and many of my fellow students ask you to vote against these resolutions and send a message to the GPSA that we want them to focus on issues that help us, solve our problems and serve us, their constituents, as they are supposed to. Or perhaps we need to re-evaluate whether the GPSA is acting consistently with the University’s mission.

“It’s just like right there, and I feel like you are supporting your school more if you do buy your books there rather than an outside source.”

Sparks said having Samees’s across the street benefits students.

“The advantage of having Samees’s is that when we run out of something at the bookstore students are able to go and get the

the roughly $1.5 million in student fees is lumped into the Department’s general budget and can’t be isolated.

However, Weig-Pickering said the Athletics Department could make use of student fees to pick up where their external revenue leaves off.

“We derive 80 percent of our revenue from ticket sales, sponsorships and fundraising,” he said. “We would be able to still function without them but your dollars provide us with critical mass. We put these dollars back to the athletes to better the program — it’s just more meat and potatoes.”

Katie Richardson-McDaniel, a GPSA member on the SFRB, said there was poor representation of UNM’s population in Athletics.

“One of the tests to see if you are compliant with Title Nine is to see if you are serving in proportion to the student population,” she said. “You have only six Native Americans in the Athletics program. We have 58 percent women on campus, yet we see that we have more men in Athletics and 2 percent graduate students.

I’m concerned we are not receiving anything from the money that we are spending.”

Title Nine is a law enacted in 1972 that forbids gender discrimination in higher education.

John Brewer, marketing director for UNM Athletics Department, said the department is working to interact with more on-campus bodies.

“We have become more involved with different entities on campus including ASUNM, Lobo Spirit (and) Parking and Transportation,” he said. “We have made receiving student tickets more convenient in high traffic areas and free shuttling to

DL

athletic events.”

ASUNM representative Jake Wellman said he supports the Athletics Department because it drives school spirit.

“I know personally the student tickets have been a huge part of my college experience, and I would like to show my support,” he said.

“We recognize and appreciate your work in supporting students.”

Knudsen also said the low grade point average of football players (2.6) and basketball players (2.9) is unfortunate considering the level of student fee funding.

“Basketball and football have the lowest GPAs but seem to be receiving the largest amount of the total budget,” she said. “I would like to see those numbers go up.”

Henry Villegas, assistant Athletics director, said the numbers were good in relation to other athletic programs, considering the academic climate many players come from.

“There would be a lot of basketball coaches and football coaches that would be exited about having those GPAs,” he said. “Oftentimes the athletes are first-generation college students.”

Despite some misgivings about the program, ultimately the student fees, which break down to $73.36 per student, enhance the college experience for the UNM community, Brewer said.

“The connection between UNM Athletics and students is about passion,” he said. “When I say passion I am talking about the 25,000 students that attended Lobo events for free in the 2009 sports season.”

rebounding category, where the two combined for seven offensive rebounds to Colorado State’s five.

“Any shot at the rim is a good shot (for the Lobos),” Miles said. “Brown and Hardeman came in and cleaned up. Those guys get to the front of the rim. There’s no question about that.”

Lobo head coach Steve Alford said teams thought they’d be able to bully the Lobos inside, but Hardeman and Brown have been enforcers.

“Teams look at us, and we’re not big, and they want to attack our inside,” he said. “I just think A.J. and Will have really improved week to week. They’re a big, big difference in why we’re playing well.”

Brown and Hardeman are undersized for post players. But together, they’re 13-feet, 5-inches tall, which is more than enough for the Lobos.

And the Lobos are a better team with them than without.

do a lot of things. They’re starting to score more every game. It’s going to be tough to guard them later in the year.”

Still, there are kinks to work out.

After all, Brown watched a gimmedunk recoil off the rim and bound into the air.

Fluke plays aside, Martinez said doubted Hardeman and Brown would eventually come into their own.

“Coming into the year, I knew they were going to have a great year,” he said. “They’ve proved it. We call (them) the two-headed dragon. They get everything. You shoot a ball up, and you won’t be surprised if they get two rebounds in a row.”

Though Brown and Hardeman’s stats were robust, Colorado State’s coach Tim Miles said the tandem was bigger than their final stats suggested, specifically in the offensive

18 points against Wyoming on Jan. 16 and was named Mountain West Conference Player of the Week.

Meanwhile, Brown and Hardeman had strong performances against CSU. Hardeman, who doesn’t look overly daunting, showed brute force on Saturday, absorbing fouls and finishing at the hoop. He finished with five points and five rebounds.

Brown, on the other hand, had a freakishly fine fade-away jumper from inwards of eight-to-10 feet, in addition to the requisite two-handed slams. He finished with six points and four rebounds.

Martinez was asked if Hardeman and Brown were backseat occupants on opponents’ scouting reports, because teams would key on the frontcourt of Martinez and Hobson.

“I don’t think so anymore,” Martinez said. “They’re bigs who can

hard,” Gary said. “They gave us good production. When they come in and do the things they did, it is always a good outcome.”

Both teams were almost identical in the second half. But one statistic stood out —free throws. The Rams committed 29 fouls, giving the Lobos 27 free throws. UNM converted 20 compared to the Rams’ 14.

Rams’ head coach Tim Miles said committing fouls is one of the things the Rams have perfected this season.

“We like to foul. We are good at fouling,” Miles said with a grin. “That is what we do. We missed jumpers.

We are good at that, too. There is a lot of things we are good at. We missed three layups the first half. We have a lot of parts of the game that you really don’t want to master, mastered.

I don’t know. I have to look in the mirror and find out what the hell I am doing in practice.”

Many of those fouls came in the last five minutes.

As the Lobos’ bench cleared with the game all but settled, CSU employed full-court pressure.

Though ineffective, the Rams stayed with it. They caused one turnover and four fouls in the press, allowing Gary to score eight points from the line in the final minutes. He also had his first dunk of the season with 20 seconds left.

“Dairese has always told me he’s got bunnies,” UNM head coach Steve Alford said. “I had to give him credit. That was a good dunk. He threw it hard. He got up there. I got to give him credit. He’s got some bunnies.”

Runner thrives in teammate’s absence

by Eddie Zayas Daily Lobo

Rory Fraser didn’t seem to mind teammate Lee Emanuel’s noticeable absence in the mile run event on Saturday at the Albuquerque Convention Center.

Fraser thrived in the mile, finishing in first with a time of 4:10.31 but came in 11th in the 800-meter run.

Meanwhile, Emanuel, the defending NCAA indoor mile champion, finished third in the 800-meter run.

Last year, Fraser qualified for nationals in both the indoor and outdoor events. On Saturday, however, he dropped down to compete in the mile run.

“It was good competition out there — I won my race just by the width of my vest,” Fraser said. “Because the USA track and field nationals are going to be here, everyone wants to come here and feel out the facilities so there’s not going to be any shortage of competition.”

Fraser said competing in two events was draining.

“My aim is to run the 5K for nationals,” Fraser said. “So today running the mile and 800-meter was a shock to the system. Next week I’ll do a 3K, and two weeks later I’ll run

the 5K. Today was just a sharpener for later.”

Overall, Joe Franklin said he was pleased with the team’s performance, considering how stout the competition was on Saturday.

The event included competitors from nine programs, including bitter rival BYU. “Getting to compete against the elite competition is something we can build on,” Franklin said. “There wasn’t junior colleges out there. This was Pac-10 and BYU coming at us.”

That didn’t faze Kendall Spencer.

Spencer, who finished sixth in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.85, broke a school record previously held by Aaron Brack.

On the women’s side, Ashley Gibson finished first in the 3,000-meter run, while Precious Selmon finished third in the finals of the 60-meter hurdles.

Selmon said it wasn’t her best performance.

“I think I did really well overall,” she said. “I think I could have done a whole lot better, but you take what you can get. Working on getting down over the hurdles is what I need to work on. I can improve in practice. You can always improve, because you’re never at your best.”

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Energetic run in first half secures win

Former Lobo killed in 3-way car crash

by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo

The UNM men’s soccer team was struck by tragic news at the end of last week.

Former Lobo soccer player Benjamin Ashwill, 26, died in a three-way car crash Thursday near Santa Rosa, N.M. Ashwill, a graduate of Sandia High School, was a three-time all-state performer and helped the Matadors earn a No. 1 national ranking and a state semifinal appearance.

Ashwill was named District Player of the Year twice in 2000 and 2001 and was a member of the AllRocky Mountain Region Team in 2001.

He played at UNM from 200205 and was a key contributor in the Lobos’ run to the NCAA Men’s Division I Soccer Championship Game, where they eventually lost to Maryland, 1-0.

Robbie C’de Baca, first met Ashwill while playing club soccer for the successful Albuquerque club team, Classic FC Bandidos.

Baca, who became Ashwill’s good friend and played with him for nearly 10 years, said Ashwill will be sorely missed.

“I think his name speaks for itself as far as soccer goes,” Baca said.

“When people hear ‘Ben Ashwill,’ you know he was well known as a soccer player in the Albuquerque area. He was very compassionate on the field as well as off the field

— probably one of the smartest and greatest competitors I knew.”

Ashwill graduated from UNM in 2006, and during his Lobo career scored 19 goals and had nine assists for 47 career points in 83 games. He started 70 of 83 games.

UNM head coach Jeremy Fishbein said he was devastated when he first heard the news about Ashwill’s death.

“He was one of the best players we ever had (at UNM),” he said. “(He) was asked to play several different positions, and he made the adjustments. But most importantly, he was a great teammate. Ben always put team goals first, and I think that’s a real rare quality that he had.

And that was his unselfishness.”

During his career at UNM, Ashwill played forward and defender positions and was a four-time allMountain Sports Federation selection. He was the only three-time Academic All-American athlete in UNM history until 2009. He graduated with a 3.8 GPA in Business Management.

Fishbein said the UNM and Albuquerque communities need to celebrate Ashwill’s life and legacy.

“It’s just a tragic thing for somebody so young and vibrant to not be around,” he said. “It’s hard, really, to comment on, and everybody feels a little bit differently. Let’s focus on all the positives, fond memories and all the joy he brought to so many different people. Like I said, that’s all you can really focus on right now.”

September 14, 1983 - January 21, 2010

In the course of seven minutes, the UNM men’s basketball team turned a close game into a closed game.

A 21-6 run to finish the first half helped the Lobos finish Colorado State 82-64 and improve to 18-3 overall and 4-2 in the Mountain West Conference.

“We just had a lot of energy,” said point guard Dairese Gary. “Coach talked about coming out and seeing who wanted it more. They were a tough team to play against. They weren’t just going to let down because they were coming to The Pit.” Thirteen minutes in, Colorado State (11-8, 2-3 MWC) looked like a team that could hand the Lobos their fourth loss, or, at least, give UNM a test.

It didn’t help that the Lobos

started off the night cold.

UNM shot 32 percent from the field, while Colorado State hovered near 50 percent inside the first 13 minutes. Yet, nine Ram turnovers and six UNM offensive rebounds allowed the UNM to hang around.

Tied at 18, the Lobos got 10 more shots than the Rams did in the first 13 minutes, which made up for their poor shooting.

That was all before the Lobos made their run and the Rams lost their feet.

Over the next seven minutes in the first half, the Lobos sunk 6-of-11 shots, while CSU converted only 1-of8, propelling the Lobos to a 15-point lead. Both teams were deadlocked seven minutes earlier.

For the second game in a row, Phillip McDonald’s 3-point shooting led the way. McDonald, who went 7-of-10 from long range last Wednesday at Air Force, hit a pair in the first

half, one coming with five seconds left in the first half.

McDonald lined up from the top of the key, pump-faked a defender, dribbled to the side and lofted a 3, giving UNM a 38-24 halftime advantage.

The Rams needed a run of their own to start the second half.

But it didn’t happen.

The Lobos slowly built their lead, taking their largest advantage, 22, with 7:49 left in the second half. That advantage came while the three starting upperclassmen rested.

Darington Hobson, Roman Martinez and Gary — who scored a combined 39 points — watched as freshmen and sophomores mounted the largest lead of the night. The Lobo bench contributed 23 points to the final score.

Tall ain’t all

Jun Fu Han / Daily Lobo Joe Wood celebrates after winning the Lobos’ double match on Saturday. UNM won 8 of 9 against Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

A sweeping victory against Corpus Christi Staff Report Daily Lobo

The UNM men’s tennis team all but swept the 59th-ranked Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Saturday inside the Linda Estes Tennis Center.

The Lobos won 8 of 9 matches — two doubles matches and six singles.

UNM’s Carl Ho faced Dmitry Novikov in the No. 1 position. Novikov pushed Ho into a tie breaker (6-6) in the first set, but Ho dominated the tiebreaker, capturing the set and taking the momentum. He coasted to an easy 6-2 victory in the second set.

UNM’s Jadon Phillips, Ben Dunbar, Phil Anderson, Joe Wood and Conor Berg also beat their singles opponents.

Langford got a bit of redemption against Lobos Jadon Phillips and Ben Dunbar, notching an 8-5 victory, Corpus Christi’s only of the weekend.

The Lobos head to Ohio next Saturday to face No. 3 Ohio State University.

With the exception of your Luke Longleys, New Mexico has never been like New York — a skyline of imposing towers, unobstructed, panoramic viewpoints and heightened awareness.

Our two tallest buildings are Bank of Albuquerque and the Hyatt.

Or, for all intents and purposes, Will Brown and A.J. Hardeman.

Yet for every 7-foot 2-inch Longley, you have your Kenny Thomas — an undersized rebounding ball hawk, considered an NBA small forward.

If Brown, 6’9’’, and Hardeman, 6’8’’, have proved anything this year — and, in particular, on Saturday at The Pit against Colorado State — it’s this: Size doesn’t matter. And all that talk about the Lobos lacking a true center has, so far, been much ado about nothing.

More on that later. First, the back story: Isaiah Rusher’s unceremonious booting off of the team before the start of the 2009-10 season triggered an intense discussion about who would anchor the Lobos’ center position.

Early on, the candidates looked remarkably unimpressive. And, as a result, it was pitted as the Lobos’ pancaking point, where their disjointedness would lead to crumbling.

Hardeman, at times, looked softer than Charmin. Brown, for all the on-court bleating and chest pounding, couldn’t keep himself on the hardwood for academic reasons at the beginning of the season.

That gaping void was looking more like a black hole, but it has since been negated by UNM’s Waste Management Crew. Consistently, Brown and Hardeman have cleaned up the garbage on the boards for UNM. It wasn’t always that way.

Cast in the shadow of Darington Hobson and Roman Martinez, Brown and Hardeman were cloaked in a cape of obscurity.

Recently, the duo — Hardeman and Brown — has gone from being overlooked (by other teams) to formidable frontrunners, and even focal points for opposing coaches.

Hardeman scored a career-high
