‘The story you’re telling is my story’ ‘To Write Love on Her Arms’ strives to prevent suicide by Ardee Napolitano and Jocelyn Moya news@dailylobo.com
UNM student Alicia Crespin said she had a friend who tried to kill herself once. She said her friend had troubles dealing with her personal problems but did not want to receive professional help. Crespin said she was clueless about how to deal with the situation. “She never sought help on her own,” she said. “She was unhappy. At the time I didn’t know how to deal with it. I was there and I listened to her, but I didn’t know what to tell her.” Crespin, who is now a volunteer for Agora Crisis Center, said students should be aware of the University’s suicide-prevention resources. But she said students struggling with suicide are often afraid to seek out help from others. Crespin sat alongside hundreds of students Thursday night to listen to a lecture by Jamie
Tworkowski, the founder of the suicide-prevention organization To Write Love on Her Arms. The event was organized by ASUNM’s Student Special Events. Tworkowski said he founded the organization after his friend Renee, who was suicidal and was addicted to drugs, sliced the words “Fuck up” on her arms one night. He said he and his friends then tried to sell shirts with the words “To Write Love on Her Arms” to people to be able to pay for Renee’s medical expenses and to help her get psychiatric help. But Tworkowski said Renee’s story needed to be heard by other people who might relate to it, so he wrote Renee’s story and posted it on a website he created in February 2006. The foundation was founded in Florida one month after the story was published. “I’ve heard people say, ‘The story you’re telling is my story,’” he said. “It was a great surprise and part of it was incredibly exciting. It wasn’t something that we have expected.” Tworkowski said that two out of three people who experience

He said depressed people are often scared to open up their emotions to others. “Pain became the way they deal with pain,” he said. “But as people, we need other people. A support system is something we all deserve and that we all need.”
Tworkowski said people who struggle with suicidal thoughts should never succumb to them. “This stuff is just part of the human experience,” he said. “In this life we will experience pain. We will lose people and we will lose experiences. It becomes more tempting to live in the past,

UNM’s first-ever satellite project is NASA-ready after four years in the making. In 2009, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department submitted a plan to build a nanosatellite to be launched into Earth’s orbit in response to a challenge issued by NASA’s Education Launch of Nano Satellites initiatives. Work on the satellite began in 2011 after UNM received NASA’s approval. The resulting nanosatellite, named Trailblazer, is scheduled to be launched from an Air Force base in Virginia this June. The two-pound, four-inch, cube-shaped nanosatellite will circle the Earth at approximately five miles per second and face extreme temperatures and vibrations, all in the name of testing new materials fabricated by 3-D printers and an Air Force communications network. 3-D printers fabricate a solid

Bill may make Lottery need-based by John Tyczkowski news@dailylobo.com
A Lottery Scholarship bill written by ASUNM President Caroline Muraida and UNM Student Regent Jacob Wellman will be heard in the House Education Committee on Saturday at 8 a.m. House Bill 586, co-sponsored by Rep. James E. Smith (R-Sandia Park) and Sen. Tim Keller (DAlbuquerque), would turn the Lottery Scholarship into a needbased award. This means the bill would fund a student based on how much his or her family makes. Students from families with combined incomes above $100,000 would get 70 percent of a tuition award, students from families with combined incomes between $54,000 and $100,000 would get 85 percent of a tuition award and students from families with combined incomes under $54,000 would receive the full tuition award. The bill states the Higher Education Department would determine whether the tuition awards would pay for all or only part of tuition, depending on the how much money is available in the Lottery Scholarship as provided by the Legislature. The minimum GPA to receive any Lottery Scholarship awards would be raised from 2.5 to 2.7, and current students would be grandfathered in. “As far as Lottery Scholarship solvency proposals go, I think that this is the best one on the table,” said Matt Fleischer, ASUNM deputy chief of staff. “It certainly is going to be controversial, but
everyone still gets a piece; a smaller one, but they still get a piece.” According to the New Mexico Higher Education Department’s annual report for 2010, 61,251 students have received the scholarship since its inception in 1996. Of the total recipients, 25,430 have graduated, a 41.5 percent average graduation rate. “A major concern of ours was making sure that students who began their degrees with the scholarship will continue to receive it,” Muraida said. “We need to keep that promise we made to them.” The bill has been in development since November when ASUNM held a town hall for students featuring state legislators and UNM officials to gather input from all angles on what saving the Lottery Scholarship would require. “We didn’t just talk to legislators, we conducted student surveys and gathered their feedback on what they felt was important and needed to be addressed first,” Wellman said. “I do hope that this bill does well because a major part of our plan came directly from students.” Muraida and Wellman both mentioned that similar programs in other states were consulted for their approaches to awarding funds to students. According to a report by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, seven other states, all in the South, have lottery scholarship programs: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee

and Arkansas. New Mexico’s lottery program, founded in 1996, was the second one established in the nation, following Georgia’s, which was established in 1993. New Mexico is the only state that doesn’t have requirements beyond a minimum GPA. The other states’ programs have ACT/ SAT score requirements and some have community service requirements and core high school curriculum requirements. In addition, New Mexico is the only state that awards full tuition to every eligible student. Other states, such as Arkansas and West Virginia, award flat amounts. Alternatively, Florida pays awards on a per-credit basis. Also, New Mexico and Arkansas have the lowest GPA requirement for renewal: 2.5. Georgia and South Carolina require a 3.0 for renewal. Florida scales awards based on a GPA range from 2.75-3.0 and Kentucky requires a 3.0 for a full award and a 2.5 for a half award. New Mexico and Arkansas are the only states that require students to enter into college immediately after graduation in order to receive the scholarship. Georgia and South Carolina stipulate no time limits and the other four states’ limits range from 16 months to five years after graduation. Finally, New Mexico is the only state that doesn’t fund remedial courses or summer courses. Tennessee, West Virginia and Florida fund both, and the remaining states fund either one of the two types.

From the web Online readers responded to the letter “Living simply is possible, ethical and rewarding,” published in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo. In his letter, Don Schrader describes his minimalist lifestyle and urges others to live similarly when they feel comfortable doing so. by “Zoe Noel” “Where do you get the money to live so lavishly compared to 5 percent of the world’s population? Do you have a job and if so, is it from a corporation or an illegal activity? Why don’t you move to the middle of the Amazon where you can really be true to living simply and off the land? Or maybe to Cuba or North Korea where they share your communist ideals? They wash their clothes by hand too and don’t have many of the appliances you listed so you’ll fit right in. So you rent a room in a home of maybe 1000 square feet or more and then make it seem you live in a box? Again, where do you get your money? I know I can’t afford raw nuts at the Co-op at $8 a pound. The flea market is only open on weekends. Washing your rags by hand is something we should all do? No soap probably too? No toothpaste to wash out no telling what you put in there? Don, you really need to seek some serious mental help. Maybe UNM’s psychology department can use you as a case study on delusional psychopaths.”
Dr. Peg’s Prescription
by “phillip howel” “Don, I have enjoyed gelato at a stand in Barcelona and the great works of art and buildings found in that city because of the cruise ship that brought me there. I have seen Michelangelo’s David in Florence, the Pietà in Rome and many other works that show the extraordinary ability of the human race. I have looked in awe at the pyramids. The journey to those places was made possible because we have invented ways to travel faster, easier than by foot. The sounds of an orchestra or band heard in Popejoy Hall are not possible without the technology you disparage. … Your ancestors came to this land from the land their ancestors migrated to. If we followed your advice we would never move farther than we can travel by foot, harnessed electricity or the energy found in a drop of oil, the oil necessary to make the gasoline that allows the farmer to be successful and bring the food you eat to a nearby market or figured out how to transfer that Social Security check you receive from D.C. to the bank you walk to and print the dollars you shop with. Your prattle is the smug statements of a man who pretends the world can be the little world that has only the little you have chosen to have. You would not have the clothes to buy at a thrift store if an energy-driven machine did not make them, an energy-driven ship did not transport them to a truck that bought them to the store for you to walk to. That is reality.” by “Don Schrader fan” “Don Schrader is a modern preacher. How fortunate we are to have the opportunity to learn from his words and his example. I admire him tremendously. No, he doesn’t live in a cave. He is ours, an Albuquerque treasure. Young people who think the military will be fun, take heed of what Don says. Live a simple life, and don’t kill others.” To join the conversation, go to DailyLobo.com

Rectal bleeding usually more disconcerting than dangerous
You stagger out of bed in the morning, stumble into the bathroom and settle down to business. Some time later you rouse yourself, pull some paper from the roll, and — whoa. What is that? It isn’t supposed to be red. Is that blood? It might be. Rectal bleeding, or hematochezia as the medical dictionaries like to call it, is a fairly common phenomenon. It can herald anything from yesterday’s news to tomorrow’s disaster. I’ll go through it from best to worst. First of all, it could just be something you ate. Pickled beets, red Jell-O, a mortal’s blood — you get the idea. What goes in must come out and sometimes it comes out looking a lot like it did when it went in. If you aren’t sure it is from your food, keep a sharp lookout below, as it were, and see if it happens again. As I’m sure you know, the anus is made of stretchy stuff. Tightly closed most of your life, it opens when pressure from above gives it the signal. Usually the tissue is elastic enough to accommodate the need, but sometimes either the load is too large or the pressure is too great and something has got to give. The result is a fissure, which is a crack or split in the skin of the anus. The circulation around the anus is abundant, so a fissure can produce an alarming amount of blood. Anal fissures often hurt, but they are not dangerous. Most of them heal within a few days. If you have an anal fissure, increase the fluid and fiber in your diet so your stools will be soft and less painful. Sit in a warm tub for 10 minutes
twice a day to soothe and heal the area. Try not to strain hard when you are on the toilet, or to sit there too long. Consider moist toilet paper for wiping. Moving on, or rather up, or in, we come to the common hemorrhoid, the next most frequent cause of rectal bleeding. A hemorrhoid is a swollen vein in the wall of the rectum or anus. Remember when I said circulation is abundant? That means lots of veins. If you put pressure on a vein, it will swell. Pressure can simply be in the form of gravity, like if you sit or stand for a long time. Or it can be from more intense activity, like lifting weights. When you do that, you usually hold your breath and tighten your abs, right? This increases the pressure inside your belly and intestines, which can weaken the wall of one of those rectal veins, causing it to bulge. Further pressure, or trauma from a passing stool, can cause the bulging vein to bleed. Hemorrhoids can itch, hurt, or be silent and invisible until they bleed. Treatment for a bleeding hemorrhoid is similar to treatment for a fissure. Take the pressure off and allow your body time to heal. Over-thecounter or prescription creams can be used to ease discomfort. Sometimes a clot can form inside the hemorrhoid. This is quite painful, and is treated surgically to remove the clot. Anal fissures and hemorrhoids can be diagnosed in the clinic by your health provider. We do an external inspection first and if we see
a fissure, we usually stop there. If not, we may look inside the anus with a rigid plastic tube called an anoscope. I know, I know — it sounds mortifying. But it is not as bad as it sounds; it is no bigger around than what usually passes through there and it is the only way we can see the lining of the rectum, which can be important. Why? Because some causes of rectal bleeding are more sinister than fissures or hemorrhoids. Polyps in the colon, diverticulitis, infections, colitis and cancer are some of the real desperados of damage. If you are bleeding from one of these bad guys, you need to know. By looking inside we can inspect a little of the lining of the colon and that can be a clue. This is also the way we find internal hemorrhoids. If we do all of the above and still can’t find a reason for your bleeding, we may refer you to a specialist. So if you are noticing blood where no blood should be, let us check it out. Most often it is nothing dangerous, but that determination is best made by professionals. If you haven’t had rectal bleeding, and hope you never do, eat plenty of fiber, drink plenty of liquids and don’t spend too much time sitting, standing or straining.

Deadlock in Washington means total stagnation Editor,
What exists in Washington today is that those in power are deadlocked. Unpacking that — “dead” means not functioning and “locked” means not available. In the interactions of us human beings, deadlock can occur when only one party with power refuses to participate in open, honest and authentic dialogues and expends all its time and energy to blame others for the existing problems. When this occurs (known as “the blame
game”) all progress toward problem resolution comes to a halt and stagnation becomes reality. When stagnation persists for a long period of time, collapse always is the eventual outcome. That is the reality of what is occurring in Washington regarding the sequester issue, and it appears that deadlock will prevail. This means that all of us who have elected those trapped in deadlock will have to suffer the consequences of them being unable to free themselves from their self-created deadlock.

attempted suicide by jumping off from the fourth floor of the Yale Parking Structure. In March last year, a student in the fraternity Sigma Chi was found dead in his room. The death was ruled a suicide. Duncan said the organization started planning the event in September last year. She said representatives from the LGBTQ Resource Center, the Women’s Resource Center and Agora Crisis Center were present at the event. Duncan said various on-campus groups, such as the Agora Crisis Center and the Student Health and Counseling center offer counseling services to students who are thinking about suicide. She said the University is doing a good job with suicide prevention on campus.

“They definitely raise a lot of awareness,” she said. “If you walk around campus, you’ll see places that have Agora posters on them. They’ve also been advertising the resources in the SUB.” Duncan said the event aims to help students cope with depression and thoughts of suicide. She said students should not hesitate to use suicide-prevention resources on campus and to vent to other people if they’re struggling with thoughts of suicide. “If you’re struggling, just talk to someone,” she said. “It’s really not that hard. A lot of people are dealing with these issues and they don’t seek help. It’s okay if they need help, and if they’re struggling with these, they’re not alone.” Evan Honeyestewa, 28, said his aunt committed suicide when he was young and left two sons
and one daughter behind. He said people should never handle thoughts of suicide alone. “Suicide is a permanent fix to a temporary problem,” he said. “It is not cowardly to get help. A lot of people deal with this stuff and you’re not alone. There is help out there and there are people out there willing to help you.”
If you or somebody you know is suffering from depression, call the 24/7 Agora Crisis Center hotline at (505) 277-3013.

object out of composite materials from a digital model. Trailblazer’s launch is expected to bring great things to UNM, said Christos Christodoulou, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and director of the Configurable Space Microsystems Innovations and Applications Center. “This is the first time that we not only built a satellite from scratch, but decided to launch something that the students built,” Christodoulou said. “And that’s just the beginning.” COSMIAC is a center in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department that focuses on research, community outreach and economic development in New Mexico. It’s connected to the Air Force Research Laboratory and federally funded through the Phillips Technology Institute. The purpose of the COSMIAC is to research and develop aerospace technology, share that knowledge with college and high school communities, and use its technological success to draw private aerospace companies into the state. Once in orbit, Trailblazer is slated to do three things: test a network system developed by the Air Force, measure atmospheric radiation, and test the viability of 3-D-printed electronics for use in spacecraft components. However, in order to serve its purpose, Trailblazer first has to survive the elements to which it will be exposed. “The tricky part about space is that it’s such an extremely brutal environment,” said Craig Kief, deputy director of COSMIAC. To survive in space, Trailblazer will have to endure temperatures between 10 and 400 degrees Celsius, as well as violent shaking during launch. Researchers put the satellite through a set of simulations to ensure it would be able to perform correctly. Kief said the project was funded through a grant from the Air Force Research Laboratory, and the satellite cost $40,000 to make. After a successful test of Trailblazer, COSMIAC plans to expand its aerospace education programs at UNM. Christodoulou said that

NASA will launch Trailblazer, the first satellite to feature electronic parts created by a 3-D printer, into space in June. because about 25 undergraduates helped with the Trailblazer project, interest in this type of research among engineering students is expected to rise. “The (Department) of Engineering is planning to keep adding more courses in the aerospace engineering field. We expect, as we teach these courses, to attract more students,” he said. “And we expect, very soon, (for aerospace) to be a college in the Department of Engineering.” Jacy Bitsoie, a third-year undergraduate civil-engineering major, has been working with the Trailblazer project since May. She has been working on paperwork to ensure that the government will allow Trailblazer to launch. “It feels like you get paid to play,” Bitsoie said. Bitsoie plans to stay with the project and help with the next satellite, ORS-Squared, set to launch from Hawaii in early 2014. ORSSquared is also sponsored by NASA.

degree, but this project generated interest in other engineering students as a way to gain research experience for graduate school. “If you get the opportunity, definitely take it. The experience is invaluable because it prepares you for the workforce later on, both from a fundamental working standpoint and the technical background,” said Matt McCullough, a fourth-year electrical engineering major who has been working with COSMIAC since the summer of 2012 with the Trailblazer ground station. Kief said that with forthcoming contracts from NASA and the Air Force, hopes are high for the future of the aerospace program at UNM and the creation of an aerospace engineering major. “NASA likes working with us now because of the fact that we have proven experience. Also we have the students who can build this kind of hardware, so that makes UNM more marketable to the space research community,” Kief said.

Maybe having a target on its back wasn’t the best thing for the UNM baseball team. The Lobos were ranked No. 21 in Baseball America’s preseason poll and were voted to win the MWC by the conference’s coaches. UNM has stumbled out of the gate with a 2-4 record and dropped several games because of late-game mishaps. Junior pitcher A.J. Carman said the added pressure has caused some players to overcompensate, which has led to critical errors at the ends of games. “At the beginning it added a little pressure and I think we got a little big-headed,” he said. “Now that we’re not ranked, I think we’re going to be better off. Now we don’t have a target on our back, we have to work back to get ranked.” This weekend, UNM will hit the road to Nebraska for a three-

game series. The Cornhuskers are 0-7 this year and are coming off a three-game sweep by Texas University. Nebraska has been outscored 46-17 over its first seven games and 45 of the 46 runs allowed have been earned.
“It added a little pressure and I think we got a little big-headed.” ~A.J. Carman junior pitcher Offensively, the Cornhuskers have posted a .243 batting average, a .294 slugging percentage and a .286 on-base percentage. The pitching staff hasn’t helped much with a collective ERA of 7.11. Carman said UNM won’t take Nebraska lightly, but said this is a good chance for the team to finally get on a winning streak.
“This is definitely a series that we feel that can get us right back on track,” he said. “But it’s going to be tough.” UNM is coming off back-toback losses to Iowa and Oklahoma at the Kleberg College Bank Classic. The Lobos lost 6-2 in 10 innings to the Hawkeyes last Saturday. Against the Sooners, the Lobos rallied from a 5-1 first inning deficit to take an 8-5 seventh-inning lead. OU quickly tied the game at 8 in the bottom of the seventh and added two more runs in the eighth to complete the comeback. The loss was a blow to the Lobos as they had a chance to snap a seven-game losing streak to the Sooners, Carman said. “That game was a disappointment. We felt we had the game then all of a sudden, it just got away,” he said. “We’re close to being very good pitching-wise. There were mistakes all around, but I feel like a really good team. We’re just not clicking on all cylinders.”

Packs of Lobos perpetually pack The Pit by J.R. Oppenheim
assistantsports@dailylobo.com @JROppenheim
The Pit typically boasts strong attendance numbers, and with the success the No. 14 New Mexico men’s basketball team has had so far this season, tickets have been more difficult to come by. Several times this year tickets have sold out hours after they
became available. That has been particularly true in sections Y and Z, otherwise known as UNM’s student section. Wednesday night’s soldout crowd proved the difficulty in acquiring tickets won’t stop some people. “Everyone who comes to every game works really hard to come to the games faithfully,” senior Alicia Carreon said before watching
UNM drop San Diego State 7060 on Wednesday. “Your regulars come no matter what.” Of the 15,411 seats at The Pit, sections Y and Z feature 1,640 seats for UNM students, who obtain tickets free of charge through the University’s ticket office. According to information provided by the Athletics Department, this year’s student attendance is the highest it’s been since 2002.
On average, 982 student tickets have been given out for Lobo men’s basketball games in 2013. That number takes into account this Saturday’s sold-out home finale against Wyoming, a game in which UNM (24-4, 11-2 MWC) can clinch at least a share of the conference regular-season title.

Girl may be barred from CYO football league by Maryclaire Dale The Associated Press
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. — The Roman Catholic church in Philadelphia doesn’t need another public relations headache after years of priest-abuse and schoolclosure headlines, but it’s got one in the form of a pony-tailed 11year-old athlete. Sixth-grader Caroline Pla is fighting the archdiocese for the right to keep playing churchsponsored youth football. The soft-spoken twin has been battling boys on the gridiron since she was 5. She’s played the last two seasons in a Catholic Youth Organization league, where the 5-foot-3, 110-pound offensive tackle and defensive end made the all-star team. But the archdiocese may put the kibosh on her Catholic youth league career. While at least a few U.S. dioceses allow girls to play football, and about 1,600 girls play on U.S. high school teams, the Philadelphia league is open only to boys. “First they said it was a boys sport; then they said it was a safety issue; then they said it was inappropriate touching,”
Caroline said Feb. 21 at her home in Buckingham Township, Bucks County. “I think they are just constantly looking for excuses to not change it.” She first played in a public Pop Warner league, then moved along with her teammates to the Catholic Youth Organization league in fifth grade. After one season without a hitch, she learned last fall that an overlooked boys-only rule would be enforced. The archdiocese, though, agreed to let her finish the season. Archbishop Charles J. Chaput is now reviewing the ban, with a decision expected next month after a panel of coaches, parents and doctors weigh in. “Traditionally, football is a boys-only sport due to its full contact nature,” the church said in a statement. “Most parents and players have preferred this; some now disagree.” Caroline sent Chaput an email in January, explaining that her Catholic youth league team had been the best chapter in her burgeoning, three-season sports career. By then she and her parents, George and Marycecelia Pla, had taken to the airwaves to lobby for a rule change. An online petition has attracted more than 100,000 signatures, and Caroline recently ap-

No matter how Chaput rules, Caroline could still play football next season for Pop Warner or her school team. And she has no plans to play in high school because she doesn’t think she’ll be big enough to play her position at that level.
Her older brother plays on the high school freshman team, while her twin sister and an older sister have been cheerleaders. “Right now I’m one of the biggest because I’ve hit my growth spurt and a lot of them haven’t,” Caroline said.

peared on Ellen DeGeneres’ show as well as newscasts. “I’m perplexed that you would contact me last, after publicizing your situation in both the national and regional media,” Chaput wrote in a January email shared by the family. “That kind of approach has no effect on my decision-making. CYO rules exist for good reason.” The Women’s Sports Foundation believes there are good reasons to reverse the rule — and not just for the sake of girls. “What the diocese is missing is all the wonderful things that come out of co-ed sports — the mutual respect that lasts a lifetime between girls and boys,” said lawyer Nancy HogsheadMakar, a 1984 Olympic gold medalist in swimming who is now the senior director of advocacy for the Women’s Sports Foundation. From a safety perspective, prepubescent girls and boys are often the same size. And legally, private or religious groups that receive any type of federal funding — through low-income lunch programs or other aid — must abide by Title IX, the 1972 law that guarantees girls equal access to sports, she said. There are exceptions for contact sports, but they cannot be invoked once girls have been allowed to play in a program, she said.

UNM averaged 972 students per game during the 2010-11 season, but that number dipped last season to 764 per game. The school averaged 900-plus students in 2009-10 with 951 per game. The school’s lowest student attendance in recent history was 286 per game in 2005-06. During Steve Alford’s six-year run as UNM head coach, student attendance averaged 862 per game. Mark Koson, UNM’s associate athletic director for ticket services, said student tickets have been in high demand this season. Distribution dates for games, scheduled for Mondays, were spaced out over the course of the season. Tickets were obtained quickly, Koson said, but how rapidly student tickets went depended on the opponent. The last
distribution date was Feb. 18 for the SDSU and Wyoming games. No tickets were left by that afternoon, he said. Tickets for the San Diego State game were so hard to come by that senior Alex Morales said he bought a ticket from another student. “I usually get (to the ticket office) early,” he said. “You have to wait in line. Sometimes you have to sleep overnight or get there right away. But for this game, I had to pay $20 to get my student ticket.” UNM students taking at least six credit hours are eligible for free tickets to all athletic events, Koson said. The UNM pep band takes up 119 seats over six rows roughly in the middle of section Y. The remainder of section Y and all of

section Z are for other students, and seating is a first-come, firstserved basis. Attendance in general for men’s basketball at The Pit has also risen. Across 15 games, an average of 14,996 people attended Lobo games and the venue has been at 97.3 percent of its capacity.
“I’d vote The Pit the No. 1 stadium in the country.” ~Alex Morales UNM senior Overall attendance is at its highest since 2001-02, when
The Pit averaged 16,426 fans per game in a time that there were more seats than there are now. The Pit underwent a $60 million renovation, completed in the 20102011 season, that included changes to luxury, club-level and lowerbowl seating, according to the UNM athletic website. Maximum capacity was 18,018 then — 2,607 more than it is currently. As is the case in most major basketball arenas, the UNM student section gets into the action with its noise and enthusiasm. The atmosphere in sections Y and Z feels different this year, Carreon said. “It’s probably a little bit stronger (atmosphere) this year than I’ve felt in years past,” she said. “There are a lot of new cheers they incorporate this year, and they’re
doing a lot of new traditions. … It’s really exciting to see more people getting involved.” The Lobos seem to feed off that energy. They have 14 wins at The Pit this season and haven’t lost in the building since Dec. 22, a 70-65 decision to South Dakota State. They have outscored their opponents by an average of 11.8 points in home games, scoring 71.4 points per game offensively and giving up 59.6 points per game defensively. That effort, in turn, gets the crowd more fired up. “It feels like we’re a top team in the country; I feel like we’re a top five team in the country,” Morales said. “That’s the energy. That’s what the fans show. I’d vote The Pit the No. 1 stadium in the country.”

After losing to then-No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 3 Arizona State earlier this season, the New Mexico softball team’s task of playing No. 10 UCLA this weekend does not seem that daunting. The Lobos (9-9) will travel to San Diego, Calif., to face UCLA and four other opponents in the 2013 San Diego Classic today, Saturday and Sunday. The Bruins head into the invitation with a 13-2 record, having lost only to No. 5 Texas A&M (18-0) and Cal State Fullerton (6-9). UCLA also boasts a strong offensive attack with a .317 batting average, 6.6 runs per game average and 31 home runs. “After the early part of our schedule, we’re okay playing ranked teams,” said UNM head coach Erica Beach. “They have a tough offensive lineup so we’re going to have to pitch well. We respect that, but we’re going to play hard no matter who steps on the field with us.” Junior infielder Chelsea Anaya will head west with her first career Mountain West Player of the Week award for her efforts last week. Anaya led UNM to a 4-1 record and secured at least one hit and one RBI during that span. “It’s been fun for her to get some recognition,” Beach said. “She has been consistent for us for a long time, but players that have bigger numbers have overshadowed her. She is one of our best players.” Anaya grew up in Pacoima, Calif., 20 miles away from UCLA’s Easton Stadium. She said
she looks forward to facing her childhood team. “It’s really exciting and surreal to know that I get to play the team that I watched growing up,” Anaya said. “We know they are good competition, but we look forward to showing them what we are made of.” This weekend the Lobos will attempt to surpass the .500 mark for the first time this season. Today, UNM battles Utah State (0-15) at 3 p.m. and co-hosts San Diego (6-6) at 8 p.m. On Saturday, New Mexico will play former conference opponent Brigham Young University (5-10) at 10 a.m. and Long Beach State (7-6) at 12:30 p.m. The Lobos will finish off the invite with UCLA on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. Beach said the squad must maintain its focus on one game at a time. “We have some good competition,” she said. “I know everyone is focusing on UCLA, but we have a lot of tough games before we get to that one. We can’t overlook anyone.” New Mexico has garnered a 9-2 record the last 11 games, with the last four wins coming on the road. UNM defeated Auburn last Saturday 3-1 and pulled out a 2-1 victory over Kansas on Sunday in the Grand Islander Classic. Beach said she attributes the strong run to the team’s discovering its identity. “I absolutely think the team now understands how they are going to win ball games,” she said. “We are moving in the right direction at the right pace and I’m optimistic as to what will happen down the road.”
