‘I really needed every dollar that I had’ Chillz suspends business due to theft, vandalism

by Chloe Henson

assistant-news@dailylobo.com @ChloeHenson5 A local frozen custard joint was robbed Saturday night of money and valuables.

Justin Carson, the owner of Chillz Frozen Custard located on Central Avenue in the University area, said he got a call Sunday morning from an emergency operator informing him that the door to his establishment was open.

“When I got to work, my register, all of my money was gone, all of my valuables,” he said. “Electronics, iPods, TVs — everything that was worth money in here was gone.”

Carson said he called the Albuquerque Police Department regarding the incident and the reporting officer failed to detect any immediate suspects.

Carson said Chillz is closed indefinitely due to the financial challenges the robbery inflicted.

“I was in the worst point I could

be in with business right now,” he said. “I really needed every dollar that I had. So I don’t even know if I’ll be able to open my business back up.”

He said he also wouldn’t be able to conduct business because those responsible stole his register.

“I have no register, I can’t even ring customers up if I wanted to,” he said.

Those responsible picked the lock to gain entrance to the business, Carson said.

“It’s like getting struck by lightning,” he said. “The one night I didn’t turn my alarm on, somebody picked my lock and came here and got me for everything that was important.”

Students may lose say in fees November ballots fill Senate vacancies

by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com @ArdeeTheJourno

Student leaders are striving to ensure that their constituents will continue to have a say in the majority of student fee allocations in the future.

Officials from the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico and the Graduate and Professional Student Association have teamed up to express their disapproval of a potential proposal regarding the University’s comprehensive fee policy.

ASUNM President Isaac

Romero said the policy could take away the Student Fee Review Board’s authority to provide recommendations on student fee allocations to the Athletics Department, Information technology, University Libraries and Student Health and Counseling.

“Right now the Student Fee Review Board has the recommendation authority on every organization that comes and presents to the SFRB,” he said.

“What the comprehensive fee essentially does is it takes those four organizations previously mentioned out of SFRB, so students no longer have say in

recommending amounts for those organizations.”

At the moment the SFRB provides preliminary budget recommendations before passing them to the Strategic Budget Leadership Team, Romero said. The SBLT then forwards the recommendations to the UNM president before facing the Board of Regents for final approval, he said.

The comprehensive fee would partially disrupt this process and would give the authority to decide on those four departments to the regents alone, Romero said.

“The bottom line is it takes away

Shank, Chang take seats left open by absences

by Zachary Pavlik

news@dailylobo.com @zachpavlik After various Associated Students of the University of New Mexico slates played their best cards in November’s senate election, fate would have it that the assembly got reshuffled.

These two senators were Earl Shank and Harold Chang. In the beginning of this semester, senators Derick Moreno and Meghan Maes resigned, leaving two spots open. Chang took the full-term seat left by Moreno, and Shank took the half-term left by Maes.

Although they garnered more votes than Chang and Shank during the fall elections, senatorial candidates Andrea Butler and Taryn Levels declined the vacated senatorial positions, leaving Chang and Shank to the job.

Shank, who studies business administration and sustainability, said senatorial positions get filled as they become vacant, so he was ultimately able to snag a seat.

“A number of different decisions were made,” Shank said. “I can’t speak to the personal reasons why any of those candidates who were elected to senate positions decided that it wasn’t for them or they had another opportunity, but that did happen. The way the constitution works is that as seats open up they are filled according

to the next highest vote receiver.”

Chang was unavailable for comment before publication time.

This is Shank’s third semester serving in the ASUNM Senate.

He said that serving in the senate is a great way to give back to the University.

“I think ASUNM is an excellent opportunity to have an impact at the university” he said. “What really drove my position was that I was on scholarship, and so it was my opinion that I was receiving a lot from the University, and it was my role to try to give back in some capacity.”

One of Shank’s past projects was the Green Fund, a fund organized through UNM’s Sustainability department aimed at providing more sustainable options for the University community. He said he would continue to chair the Green Fund Committee in his current term. “(The Green Fund) was initially approved at, somewhere in the ballpark, shy of $50,000,” Shank said. “It needs to be approved by the Strategic Budget Leadership Team. But yes, I am very much still working on that. I think it’s incredibly important that future Lobos and attendees of UNM have access to the same sort of resources that we have.”

Shank said that some of his goals for his upcoming semester in the senate included work with the governing documents and the smoking policy.

“The really tangible things I would like to look at (are) just

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Last Wednesday, the Daily Lobo published a story, “Term

‘illegal’ raises furor,” in which MEChA, a UNM student organization, criticized Associated Students of the University of New Mexico Sen. Colt Balok over his use of the term “illegal immigrant.” Do you think using this term is appropriate

Ren Price Junior, history “I don’t feel like I really know a whole lot about the difference, except that ‘illegal immigrant’ kind of makes people think of them as being bad people. And an undocumented worker is just someone who doesn’t have the documentation to be here legally. So it’s kind of one of those things about politicians using language improperly to try to make their point about something. I would prefer, especially for official use, the term ‘undocumented.’”

Matthew Evanetich Freshman, undecided “If you’re looking at it from a strictly legal standpoint, it’s very straightforward. If the insinuation is that the term ‘illegal immigrant’ is a problem, I don’t think that’s necessarily it. I think how we portray ‘illegal immigrants’ is a problem, but not necessarily the term.”

Raphaela Viereck Sophomore, psychology “I think the terms are fairly interchangeable. And I realize that ‘illegal immigrant,’ though it is accurate, from a particular standpoint, can be kind of harsh.”

Paolo Lanucara Freshman, biology “I really don’t know if I could answer that question because I’m not entirely knowledgeable on the topic of immigration … If they are here illegally, then I suppose that is accurate. But if they’re here legally and they just don’t have the documentation, then maybe a less harsh term would be in order.” photos by William Aranda

Carlsbad radiation fears abate The Associated Press

CARLSBAD — Officials checking the presence of airborne radiation at an underground site in southeastern New Mexico, where the U.S. government seals away low-grade nuclear waste, say surface tests have detected no contamination.

Samples were taken at several sites around the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant after an air monitor found radiation on the underground levels of the facility around 11:30 p.m. Friday, the U.S. Department of Energy said in a news release.

No workers were underground at the time and no injuries or damages have been reported. A fire at the site earlier this month prompted an evacuation.

“Monitors at the WIPP boundary have confirmed there is no danger to human health or the environment,” the department said late Saturday night. “No contamination has been found on any equipment, personnel or facilities.”

Energy Department spokesman Roger Nelson said that the 139 above-ground workers at the site

improving systems that we have within ASUNM,” Shank said.

“There are some minor changes I would like to make to the governing documents. I’d like to look into the smoking policy … making sure the greatest good can be had for the most students.”

However, Shank said he believes his role on the senate is taking a new form.

“I think that my role on senate is moving away from what it has been earlier. I’ve written a lot of legislation over my past full term on senate,” Shank said. “We have a lot of new senators who haven’t

students’ voices,” he said. “We have these organizations that students pay for, but students would have no say as to any accountability … It’s kind of removing the conversation that we could have with those entities for student feedback.”

But Romero said nothing is sure about the comprehensive fee at the moment.

GPSA President Priscila Poliana said the student governments first caught wind of the policy in the last school year. She said that most of the information about the policy was verbal.

“It was never in written form,” she said. “But what I’m hearing about it was conveyed by the administration.

Isaac and I first heard about it in a meeting of the Tuition and Fee Policy Committee in August.”

According to a memo signed by Poliana and Romero forwarded to the regents in August, “The SFRB only has recommendation authority over 48 percent of the total amount collected in student fees. These proposed changes would reduce the amount of fees with direct student oversight to less than 15 percent.”

Romero said the policy might have been a result of past pushes by the regents to alter SFRB recommendations in the four departments, such as Athletics.

“In the past, SFRBs have given why they think their recommendations should be withheld,” he said.

“It’s that issue of ‘Why are we putting (in) all this time and work for us to see what these organizations do and for the regents to change them?’ That’s the frustrating part.”

Last year the SFRB recommended that Athletics receive $2.3 million in student fees for FY 2014. The recommendation then went to the Board of Regents, which has the final say on appropriations. The regents overrode the SFRB’s numbers and instead allocated $4 million to the department.

near Carlsbad were told Saturday to stay where they were as a precaution. None of them tested positive for contamination, and all non-essential personnel were released, Nelson said.

The surface samples show no contamination has been detected, implying the leak was “not significant,” he said.

Nelson says the cause of the leak is not known yet. The devices that continuously monitor the air underground reached a threshold level that automatically switches the ventilation system into a filtered mode. He couldn’t quantify the level it takes to trigger the monitors, but says they’re sensitive. He says the monitors have been triggered in the past by radon fluctuations.

WIPP stores waste that emits alpha and beta radiation, which is in particulate form, so the risk is of inhalation not penetration, he said.

No one has yet been underground, and Nelson said he didn’t know when that would happen.

“We are going to take measurements and make sure we understand it” before sending in a team, he said.

New Mexico U.S Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich said in a joint release that they are in “close contact with officials at the Department of Energy and WIPP, and will continue to monitor the situation.”

U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce issued a statement saying, “WIPP has acted quickly and cautiously to ensure the safety of personnel and the local community.”

The incident comes 10 days after an underground truck fire at the plant prompted an evacuation.

Six people were treated for smoke inhalation on Feb. 5.

Nelson said the fire was in a different part of the site, about 1,000 feet away from where the radiation was found.

Asked if the incidents were related, he said, “I can’t think of a scenario where there would be a relationship.”

WIPP is the nation’s first and only deep geological nuclear waste repository. It buries plutoniumcontaminated waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory and other federal nuclear projects.

necessarily written legislation and they’re going to be great. And (my role) is just providing them with the tools necessary to do that.”

ASUNM sets this teamwork as a priority, said student government vice president Brandon Meyers.

“That’s my job,” Meyers said.

“When they come in (the senate) I’m like, ‘Well, now I’ve got to get them beyond ‘I was the pink team, you were the green team.’ I need to quickly break down that slate system, what that slate system imposes.’ It usually dies off.”

Meyers said this idea is reflected in Shank’s view of the slate system

and what it means to be an ASUNM senator as well. He said he is happy to have Shank back in his senate roster.

“It is incredibly valuable to not have the group thing in senate,” Shank said. “What we say is after the election, that’s done. Everyone’s a senator. You’re part of the senate, and your job is to represent students. You’re representing students first and serving on committees second.”

The ASUNM elections for the upcoming fall semester will be held on April 9.

This year, the SFRB chose to approve the Athletics budget request of $4 million.

But Poliana said she wants to ensure student representation in the yearly student fee allocation process.

“Whether the administration takes it or not, that’s part of the process,” she said. “But we’re part of the process because we’re the body that is seeing all these applicants.

But we do understand that only administration can decide. They have the authority to change our recommendation.”

Poliana said she is optimistic that the comprehensive fee policy would not go into effect soon.

“We’re very positive that we would find a reasonable compromise,” she said.

SFRB Policy To make the student fee allocation fee process more efficient in the future, both student governments have formed a work group to rewrite Policy 1310, which upholds the SFRB’s authority to provide recommendations on student fee allocation, Poliana said.

“We have a working group of people from both student governments getting together to find the most appropriate solution to this problem,” she said. “The problem that I’ve been hearing from the regents is that there is a general misunderstanding with respect to the fact that students only make recommendations and allocations … There is a need to manage expectations.”

Poliana said the student governments had asked UNM President Robert Frank about the opportunity to rewrite the policy to clarify it for future purposes. She said the work group might have the proposed rewritten version of the policy later this week.

LoboOpinion

‘Illegal’ is not a word in the Catholic vocabulary Editor, In last Wednesday’s Daily Lobo the above-the-fold article, “Term ‘illegal’ raises furor,” was about future seminarian for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and current ASUNM Senator Colt Balok using the non-Catholic term of ‘illegal’ regarding the driver’s license debate.

While I do agree with the sentiment addressed by Ramiro Rodriguez, and have the personal belief that follows the Catholic Church teaching that no one is illegal — while not directly addressed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops — it does appear that the use of this is not one that a true Catholic that future seminarian Colt Balok self-proclaims to be would use.

My main issue is that in the picture that accompanies the article, Colt Balok is not wearing a jacket. As an altar server at the — according to future seminarian Balok in a letter to the Daily Lobo on January 29 — not-Catholic Newman Center (which is a falsehood: it is a Catholic Parish, and the Dominicans are a Catholic Order), and speaking only speak for myself, and not necessarily others at the Newman Center: How does he expect to be viewed as a competent leader if he does not show the ASUNM Senate the respect that it deserves? Of course, one could argue that he is not a competent leader, which I think can be shown by the issue.

In terms of when he comes up for reelection, I think it is time that he be voted out, and replaced with a Catholic who represents, and is able to balance the Catholic Social justice Teachings without insulting those who follow the entire Social Justice Teachings, rather than just the ones that future seminarian Colt Balok thinks should be followed.

LETTER

COLUMN

The Lobo Letter A number of educational issues still need answering by legislators As this is written, we are only days away from the end of the 2014 New Mexico legislative session. As is the pattern for our legislature, many of the important bills covering the budget, etc., are still moving through the two chambers. There are still many unanswered questions regarding the fate of the New Mexico Legislative Lottery Scholarship, the budget for higher education — particularly for research institutions such as UNM — as well as the overall state budget.

The staff of UNM, its Councilors, the Government Relations Committee as well as the leadership of the University have spent countless hours working in conjunction with students, faculty and administration to advocate for our common goals such as the solvency of the Scholarship, an issue of critical importance to our undergraduate students and their families.

Almost half of our Main Campus students and roughly 7,000 total students receive Scholarship funding, and many would perhaps not be able to attend the university without it. This is important to our students’, the university’s and New Mexico’s future. We support legislation that ensures the solvency of the fund for current and future students.

Over the past five years the effects of the recession have been felt by all, including staff and faculty. We as an institution

were able to avoid the substantial cuts in staff and faculty that many other states incurred, but these came at a price to our staff and faculty.

We have faced increases in health care costs, additional pension contributions as well as inflation. While the Regents provided a one-time payment two years ago and a one-percent pay increase last year, these have been more than offset by the increase in health care and pensions cost alone. This means that most UNM staff and faculty have less take home pay today than several years ago. With additional increases in pension costs slated, additional salary increases are necessary to simply maintain the status quo.

We therefore support legislation (HB2) that provides the best chance for an increase.

Another result of the economic downturn has been deferred maintenance and delays in capital projects essential to the ongoing functions of the University. UNM has a $386 million backlog of deferred maintenance that continues to grow at a rate of $20 million per year. We support funding to begin to address the maintenance backlog as well as support for several capital projects including funding for the Farris Engineering Center (SB 53).

These initiatives and many more, such as the State Graduate Employment Tax Credit (SB 36) that provides employers with a

tax credit of up to $5,000 for each qualified graduate hired, would benefit not only our graduates but also help retain these individuals within the state, thus helping to rebuild our economy with well-paying jobs and an improving educated workforce.

WORLD BRIEFS Egypt An explosion on a tourist bus in Sinai on Sunday killed three people, including the Egyptian bus driver and two South Korean tourists. According to Reuters, another 24 people were wounded by the bomb after it detonated inside or near the bus, security officials said.

The bus was traveling from St. Catherine’s monastery in south Sinai into Israel, Egypt’s Interior Ministry claimed. This is the first such militant attack since the coup d’état against President Mohammed Morsi in July.

Nigeria An ambush by Islamist militant group Boko Haram killed dozens of Christian civilians in the Christian village of Izhge. Local government officials told the Agence FrancePresse that more than 60 people have been killed, and that there were no security forces in the town at the time of the attack. AFP reported that militants went door to door in the city to gun down people hiding in their houses. The city has been in a state of emergency since May 2013 to combat an Islamist rebellion that has been active since 2009.

Italy Italian president Giorgio Napolitano had summoned Matteo Renzi, the current mayor of Florence, to serve as the country’s prime minister amid an ailing economy. At the age of 39, Renzi would be Italy’s youngestever premier, the Associated Press reported. The Democratic Party leader would assume his new position after a no-confidence vote by the party on Friday that forced Prime Minister Enrico Letta to resign. Renzi would be tasked “to kick-start the economy, create jobs and prod Parliament to enact electoral reforms,” according to AP.

South Africa Rescuers on Sunday recovered 11 illegal miners who had been trapped under debris in an abandoned mine near Johannesburg. The South African Press Association reported that the miners had been trapped since Saturday, before a police patrol heard their screams. South African authorities told the AP that illegal miners, who were mining platinum or gold, were afraid to emerge from the debris for fear of being arrested.

Authorities were unable to confirm the number of miners still stuck in the mine, but fellow miners estimate that about 200 people are still under the debris, AP reported.

Tunisia Jihadists on Saturday killed four people, including two civilians and two policemen, in the Jendouba area of Tunisia, which houses Roman ruins.

Armed men allegedly shot the victims in a car after setting up a roadblock in the area, according to AFP. Another two policemen were wounded in the shootout, AFP reported. Tunisian interior ministry later announced that five militants, three Tunisians and two Algerians, were responsible for the murder. The ministry is trying to track down the attackers, AFP reported.

Venezuela Security forces are hunting down Leopoldo Lopez, the Venezuelan opposition leader deemed by President Nicolas Maduro to be responsible for the deaths of three people in an anti-government protest. Authorities have raided the Caracas residence of Lopez, who has been missing since a press conference on Wednesday, but they were unable to locate him there. The midnight raids resulted in student protests for the release of antigovernment protesters. According to the AP, 23 protesters are now being treated for injuries.

Governor’s education proposal contested

by Barry Massey

The Associated Press SANTA FE, N.M. — A Senate panel approved a $6.2 billion spending package on Sunday with more money for Republican Gov. Susana Martinez’s educational initiatives in hopes of breaking a budget stalemate.

The measure cleared the Finance Committee unanimously and goes to the Senate for consideration.

A vote is expected late Monday or Tuesday, said committee chairman Sen. John Arthur Smith, a Deming Democrat.

The prospects remained uncertain whether the Senate, House and Martinez administration would agree on a budget before Legislature adjourns on Thursday.

“We’ve been trying to get something that all of us can live with.

That’s the whole idea of compromise,” said Sen. Steven Neville, an Aztec Republican who serves on the committee.

A budget measure failed in the House earlier this month as one Democrat joined with Republicans in blocking the measure. Republicans said the plan shortchanged the governor’s initiatives.

With the House stalled on a budget, the Senate committee developed its own blueprint for financing public schools, colleges and general government programs ranging from courts to health care.

The budget provides for a $293 million or 5 percent increase in spending in the fiscal year starting in July.

The panel added $17.5 million for Martinez administration school programs, above what had been in the stalled House budget. Included was nearly $7.3 million for initiatives to help recruit, retain and train educators. About $2.9 million was provided for programs to prevent students from dropping out of high school and to prepare them for careers and college.

Neville said the goal is to give the Public Education Department flexibility to work with school districts on initiatives to improve educational performance.

“It’s a decent budget,” said Sen. William Burt, an Alamogordo Republican.

The panel freed up the $17 million by trimming spending in all government programs by 0.275 percent.

The approach taken by the Senate committee was similar to a proposal that fizzled in the House because of opposition from Democrats. House Republicans had offered what they described as a compromise — funneling about $17 million for the governor’s initiatives — but House Democrats objected.

The fight over the budget this session has been in how to allocate a relatively small amount of money.

The budget provides $2.7 billion for schools, the department and other educational programs.

Educational groups and unions favor distributing state aid through a funding formula that leaves most spending decisions to local districts.

But Martinez asked the Democratic-controlled Legislature for a $55 million increase for programs that would be administered by the department. The initiatives ranged from merit pay for teachers to online systems in schools that would allow parents to get information about their children’s classwork.

The Senate panel provided a $38 million increase in programs outside of the state’s school-funding formula.

“It may not be the full amount the executive was looking for, but it definitely does address the issues that they’ve had some concern over,” said Democratic Sen. Pete Campos of Las Vegas.

He expressed confidence that the budget will pass the Senate. It would then go to the House.

Florida shooting case reopens sore wounds

by Derek Kinner and Tamara Lush The Associated Press

BANDIDO HIDEOUT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A verdict in the city of Jacksonville is again raising the issue of self-defense and race in Florida, just seven months after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting of a black teenager, Trayvon Martin.

Michael Dunn, a white 47-yearold software developer, could face 60 years in prison following his conviction Saturday on multiple counts of attempted murder for shooting into a car full of teenagers outside a Jacksonville convenience store in 2012. Jordan Davis, a black 17 year old, was killed in the

shooting, but the jury couldn’t reach a verdict on the first-degree murder charge against Dunn. A mistrial was declared on that account.

The verdict is a far cry from one delivered in the Zimmerman case, in which the accused was acquitted in July of the shooting death of 17year-old Martin in Sanford, about 125 miles south of Jacksonville.

Like Zimmerman, Dunn said he felt his life was in danger when he fired the shots. But the verdict suggested the jury struggled to see it that way.

Following an argument over loud music coming from the car that Davis was in, Dunn said he shot at the car with his 9mm handgun.

He said he was afraid and thought he saw a shotgun in the car.

Legal experts say it’s likely that at least one member of the jury believed Dunn’s story about being scared, pulling a gun in selfdefense and firing the first few shots, which killed Davis. After more than 30 hours of deliberations over four days, the jury couldn’t agree on the first-degree murder charge.

“Although I don’t think the evidence supports this, it is possible that the jury felt that Dunn was proper to stand his ground as to Davis, but his shooting of the others in the car was excessive,” said Kenneth Nunn, a law professor at the University of Florida.

Nunn and other experts said Sunday that it’s possible the jury was confused regarding first-

degree murder and the concept that it must be “premeditated.”

Another area of confusion for the general public is Florida’s stand-your-ground defense law, which was a flashpoint during the Zimmerman case and, to a lesser degree, in this case.

In both the Dunn and Zimmerman trials, lawyers decided not to pursue a pretrial immunity hearing allowed by Florida’s stand-your-ground law.

But in each case jurors were told by the judges that they should acquit if they found the defendant had no duty to retreat and had the right to “stand his ground.”

claim of self-defense.

But the state’s stand-yourground law was technically not part of either trial.

“Dunn’s attorney argued selfdefense, which has been around forever,” said Miami defense lawyer and former assistant U.S. Attorney David Weinstein. “I think people will say that because some of the language from the standyour-ground statute gets embedded into the jury instructions, that stand-your-ground has an effect.”

Judge Russell L. Healey could impose a 60-year sentence; state statutes call for a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years on each second-degree attempted murder conviction.

to show off her progress in both the long jump and the 60 meter dash.

On Friday, Marler set a personal record of 19 feet, 6 3/4 inches for second place in the long jump. That jump was the fifth best in UNM history.

Yet Marler wasn’t finished there, as on Saturday she set the school record in the 60 meter dash, coming in at 7.57 seconds to place third in her section.

“It’s been going well,” Marler said. “This is the best I’ve felt all season — really, in my career. I never expected it to go this well.”

Franklin said, “If you look at her progression over the last three years she’s gone from a student that was on the bubble, but is now the best sprinter that has been at the University of New Mexico.”

For the men, Kendall Spencer had his best leap this year in the long jump on Friday. He jumped 25 feet, 1 1/2 inches for third place.

In the 800 meters, Gabe Aragon ran to third place (1:50.58).

Runners at Husky Classic Luke Caldwell led several Lobo runners in the 5000-meter run on Friday at the Husky Classic in Seattle.

Caldwell placed third with a time of 13:42.50, which pushes him into the top 10 in the NCAA. His mark will most likely qualify him for the NCAA Indoor Championships next month in Albuquerque.

For the women, Charlotte Arter earned 17th place in the mile (4:42.74).

Sports briefs Women’s basketball The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team let another game slip away.

This time, it was a 75-73 loss at Nevada on Saturday.

The Lobos had a 73-71 advantage with less than a minute remaining before the Wolf Pack took the lead with a 4-0 run.

Guard Antiesha Brown had a chance to send the game into overtime, but her 15-foot jumper missed and gave Nevada the victory.

UNM has lost eight of its last nine games and falls to 8-15, 3-9 Mountain West.

“It’s heartbreaking. I hurt for our team,” head coach Yvonne Sanchez said in a release. “They need a break. They need something good to happen.”

Brown had a team-high 22 points on 8 of 14 shots. Forwards Khadijah Shumpert and Deeva Vaughn both chipped in 15 points.

Forward Arielle Wideman paced the Wolf Pack (13-11, 8-5 MW) in scoring with 24 points, hitting 10 of 16 attempts. Guard Danika Sharp was the only other Nevada player in double figures, recording 13 points.

UNM hit 68 percent (17 of 25) from the field in the first half, but that fell to a 34.4 percent clip (11 of 32) in the second half.

The Lobos sit next to last in the conference with only Air Force (1-22, 0-13) trailing.

UNM’s opening game was suspended during the third inning because of heavy fog. The game was resumed on Saturday with the Lobos losing 6-4.

The Lobos (1-2) then captured their only victory of the weekend with a 3-2 decision in 11 innings over the Toreros later Saturday night.

San Diego (2-1) took the third and final game 17-2 on Sunday.

UNM resumes play on Tuesday at Arizona State.

Softball The road woes continued for the New Mexico softball team over the weekend at the Hillenbrand Invitational in Tucson, Ariz.

UNM lost all four of its games.

They were supposed to play five, but the first contest against Georgia Tech on Friday was cancelled — and put together a five-game losing streak in the process.

No. 24 Arizona handed UNM its first loss on Friday, an 8-0 decision that was stopped in five innings.

On Saturday, the Lobos were handed two more losses. These included a 4-2 defeat to Grand Canyon then a 9-1 shellacking by fourth-ranked Alabama.

The Lobos closed out the tournament with a 6-4 setback to Tennessee State on Sunday.

Baseball The New Mexico baseball team dropped two of its first three games at San Diego over the weekend.

Sochi among Olympic cities facing scrutiny

by Joe McDonald

The Associated Press

BEIJING — Playing host to the Olympics or World Cup can showcase an ambitious country’s rise and cast a harsh light on its weaknesses.

This week in Sochi, the eye-popping cost of Russia’s Winter Games and logistical fumbles got as much attention as figure skaters and snowboarders. But organizers say the problems will be forgotten quickly, while the infrastructure improvements, international attention to the region and the new winter resort built for the games will be a legacy to benefit Russia for decades.

Russia is hardly alone. Brazil, South Africa, India and other rising economies that shoot for an image boost by hosting sports mega-events can be forced to contend with accusations of mismanagement, graft and misplaced priorities.

This has been going on for half a century. The 1964 Tokyo Games helped post-war Japan show off its revival and technical prowess, as viewers around the world marveled at rebuilt cities and the new bullet train. In 1988, South Korea used the Seoul Games to highlight a modern industrial economy. And just four years ago, South Africa used a successful World Cup to show how the nation had emerged from apartheid.

Brazil, eager to raise its global profile and attract investors, is taking on the daunting challenge of holding the World Cup this year and, just two years later, the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

That has aggravated simmering complaints that Brazilian politicians squander money on status symbols and skimp on public services. Residents of poor Rio neighborhoods say thousands have been evicted to make way for sports facilities.

“It is money that should be spent on education, health, public safety, transportation and housing,” said Ana Maria Lopes Cruz, a 35-year-old manicurist in Sao Paulo, the country’s business capital. “We spend most of the year paying high taxes, and for what? To pay for the World Cup, so that we could look pretty before the world?”

Claims of long-term economic benefits from the Olympics or World Cup have been largely debunked by researchers. But a headline-grabbing event can put a city on the global tourist map. The 1992 Summer Games did that for

Pavel Golovkin / AP photo In this Thursday, Feb. 6 file photo, the Olympic Park is illuminated in Sochi, Russia, prior to the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Westerners coming to Sochi for the Olympic games seemed surprised by the unfinished hotels, packs of stray dogs and warnings not to drink the strange-colored water. But these vivid problems aside, the Olympics and ancillary development show some promising signs for the country.

Barcelona, Spain’s business center.

Sports can attract investor attention and provide insights — at times disturbing ones — into a host’s decision-making process and business conditions.

“Countries host them largely as a very costly publicity exercise,” said Jorge Mariscal, chief investment officer for emerging markets at UBS. “It’s a double-edged sword. They show the good stuff, but also the bad stuff.”

The Beijing Olympics in 2008 was seen as a success and showed off the Communist Party’s skills at planning and coordination. It also displayed the party’s thuggish streak.

To build facilities, neighborhoods in the Chinese capital were bulldozed over residents’ objections. Under pressure to respect human rights, authorities set aside areas for protests — and then detained people who tried to use them.

Spending on the 2008 Games was estimated at $41 billion, though

Chinese authorities never disclosed the total.

RITE OF PASSAGE Global events have become a rite of passage for the BRICS — the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. By the end of this year, each will have held at least one Olympics, World Cup or Commonwealth Games since 2008.

“If it’s done well, then you’ve made a good impression on millions of people,” said Greg Gilligan, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China. “And if it’s done poorly, then everybody is talking about, ‘hey, they screwed this one up.’”

Potential investors can learn about a host’s business climate by watching how well it honors commitments to sponsors and others, said Gilligan.

“Whether those promises bear fruit should absolutely reflect on the investment environment of the country beyond the Olympics,” he said.

Of course, potential pitfalls aren’t

limited to developing countries.

The 1976 Summer Olympics left Montreal burdened with debt that took 30 years to pay off. In 1996, the Summer Games in Atlanta were marred by a bombing and snarled traffic.

REWARDS Promoters often court trouble by promising a boost in investment and tourism. That can backfire by making a government look unreliable if such hopes are disappointed.

“Most nations have received little or no economic benefit from hosting such mega-sporting events,” wrote Bob von Rekowsky, a vice president of Fidelity Investments, in a report in August.

Worse, economic growth in Olympics host nations including South Korea, China and Greece declined after the Games. Italy basked in praise for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.

Two years later, it plunged into a debt crisis.

The payoff is largely intangible national pride and image-building. But missteps in execution raise the risk of reinforcing stereotypes of host countries as badly run or a risky investment.

“Russia launched this megalomaniac project, highlighting its grandiosity, and Brazil wanted to show that it’s a new player in the world,” said Erich Beting, a sports business specialist in Brazil.

“What seems to be missing for Russia and Brazil is to properly explain to the population what this goal is,” said Beting. “They didn’t do a good job explaining the benefits, especially the intangible benefits.”

Sochi illustrates Moscow’s fondness for massive building projects and willingness to spend freely. At the same time, it has highlighted complaints about President Vladimir Putin’s domineering style and allegations of corruption by his inner circle.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Bairstow leading in MWC top scoring title

Aaron Sweet / @AaronCSweet/ Daily Lobo Hugh Greenwood and Deshawn Delaney share a laugh on the bench in the second half of Saturday’s game against the Nevada Wolf Pack. New Mexico defeated Nevada 90-72 to improve to 19-5 overall and 10-2 in the Mountain West.

by J.R. Oppenheim

assistantsports@dailylobo.com @JROppenheim The top two scoring threats in the Mountain West went toe-to-toe Saturday afternoon at The Pit. Advantage: Cameron Bairstow.

New Mexico basketball’s senior forward moved into the top spot in the conference’s scoring title chase after hitting 24 points in the Lobos’ 90-72 win over Nevada, staying on San Diego State’s heels in the conference standings.

Entering the game averaging 20.2 points per game, Bairstow now holds a 20.3 average. Nevada guard Deonte Burton held the scoring lead heading into the contest at 20.4, but the 12 points he scored dropped his mark to 20.1.

Bairstow in his postgame comments downplayed the accomplishment.

“It’s something I’ve never thought about,” he said. “Still, until you said it, I don’t think about that kind of stuff. I don’t know what he’s averaging; I’m not sure what I’m averaging. I just go out and play.

It’s just numbers at the end of the day.”

The two teams meet again March 2 in Nevada.

Though Bairstow’s efforts helped lead UNM to a win, rebounding from Wednesday’s one-point setback at Boise State, he did not do it alone. His front court mate, center Alex Kirk, dropped 29 on Nevada to lead all scorers.

The duo dominated throughout, but particularly in the first half. Kirk and Bairstow combined for 23 points, one point less than the whole Nevada roster, heading into the locker room. For the game, the pair made 20 field goals in 30 attempts, while UNM’s other

players were 12 of 28.

The Lobos were one point shy of having their first game with two 25point scorers in 12 years.

UNM never trailed, and the game’s only tie came at 2 apiece in the first two minutes. The Lobos closed out the first 20 minutes with a 20-4 run to hold a 48-24 lead.

Guard Cullen Neal kick-started the run with a 3-pointer; Kirk and Bairstow scored the rest of the points over a 5 1/2-minute span.

UNM controlled the paint in the first half, outscoring Nevada 48-24.

That continued in the second half as UNM finished with a 42-24 margin down low.

“I think they kind of pressured the guards more,” Kirk said. “It felt like they kind of pressured them more and it wasn’t like they had that weak side clogging up the middle. When that weak side is in there you can’t really throw

those high-low passes.”

While Bairstow and Kirk scored seemingly at will, Burton struggled in the first half with only one point. He turned it around in the second half with 11 points, including nine over the first 6:43 of the half. His field goal average also improved from 0-for-2 in the first half to 4-for-5 in the second.

The Lobos maintained a 15 to 24-point lead through the second half but gave up nine 3-pointers.

UNM distributed the ball quite a bit, providing 27 assists. In one first-half stretch the Lobos scored 14 straight baskets off assists. They also made 91 percent of their free throws, a 19 of 21 clip. Bairstow and Kirk made all six foul shots they took, and guard Hugh Greenwood made his four.

Cullen Neal joined the big men in double-digit scoring. He sank three 3-pointers, including one

that resulted in a four-point play, for 10 points. UNM shot 55.2 percent from the field (32 of 58) and 43.8 percent from beyond the arc (7 of 16).

Forward Cole Huff and guard Michael Perez paced Nevada’s scorers with 18 points apiece. As a team Nevada was 42.9 percent from the field (27 of 63), 52.4 percent from the 3-point line (11 of 21) and 58.3 percent from the foul line (7 of 12).

Snell returns to The Pit The team honored former Lobo and current Chicago Bulls guard Tony Snell prior to the game. Craig Neal presented Snell with a square piece of the old playing surface that was replaced prior to this season.

The crowd gave Snell a huge ovation when he stepped onto the floor before the game and chanted his name during the presentation.

TRACK & FIELD

UNM takes first and second in mile Engholm’s first-place personal best time in mile second in UNM program history

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

New Mexico head track and field coach Joe Franklin said he was lucky to have distance runner Elmar Engholm at UNM. It was easy to see how fortunate the Lobos were to have Engholm on Saturday at the Albuquerque

Convention Center for the Don Kirby Elite Invitational.

Engholm, who is from Stockholm, Sweden, ran for a personal best and the secondbest time in program history with a time of 4:04.22 to take first place in the mile. Teammate Jake Shelley finished second, clocking in at 4:05.83.

Engholm attributed his career-

best performance to the number of quality distance runners that UNM has. The Lobo cross country team took 11th place last year at the NCAA Cross Country Championships.

“I’ve had incredible workouts lately,” Engholm said. “Coach Franklin said all along that if I can just get in a good race, find my rhythm and run fast the last

quarter, that was what I was going to be in. I was just really happy that I was able to put all of my training into that performance.”

The women milers followed suit.

Nicole Roberts finished in 5:01.91 to take third place, while Kirsten Follett placed fourth with a time of 5:02.21.

The two runners that earned

first and second were Jordan Hasay and Shannon Rowbury of team Nike Oregon Pro. “I knew what kind of time they (Hasay and Rowbury) were going for,” Roberts said. “I thought that I would just stay on them as long as I can. I kind of just used them, really.”
