IN SESSION
2013 legislative session wraps up by John Tyczkowski news@dailylobo.com
At the close of this year’s state legislative session, there are several bills that, if signed into law, could create changes in many areas such as the state minimum wage, the Lottery Scholarship and the future of the state’s space travel industry. Gov. Susana Martinez has until noon on April 5 to either sign or veto bills that have passed the Legislature; bills on which she takes no action by then are automatically be vetoed. The following list is not exhaustive but provides some of the highlights of this year’s legislative session. Passed through the Legislature and already signed by the governor:

The Fair Pay for Women Act, which prohibits wage discrimination based upon gender, and allows New Mexicans to file lawsuits for such discrimination in state court instead of federal court. The bill was approved unanimously by the House and by a 31-2 vote in the Senate.
Passed through the Legislature but vetoed by the governor: The “Breaking Bad” bill, which would have expanded tax credits for companies filming TV shows in the state for six episodes or more. The bill was approved by the House unanimously and by a 32-8 vote in the Senate. But key provisions of the bill were incorporated into a lastminute tax package that is up for consideration by the governor, in an attempt to circumvent the veto. Passed and awaiting gubernatorial action: The $5.9 billion state budget proposal for the next fiscal year, which would include a 3.5 percent increase in funding for UNM and $20 million allocation for the state’s faculty endowment fund. The capital outlay bill for funding state-owned properties, which includes $10 million for UNMrelated projects. These include renovations for Castetter Hall

Men ice the MWC, grab No. 3 seed for NCAA by Antonio Sanchez news@dailylobo.com
Hot off their Saturday win, the Lobos are lacing up for another dance. As of Sunday, the Mountain West conference tournament champions are third seed in the West region of the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament. The Lobos will play No. 14 seed Harvard in the NCAA second round on Thursday at Salt Lake City. UNM is one of five Mountain West Conference teams to enter the tournament. Boise State holds a No. 13 seed in the West region with the Lobos while Colorado State is the No. 8 seed in the Midwest region. San Diego State is the No. 7 seed in the South region while UNLV is the No. 5 seed in the East region. The Lobos’ in-state rival New Mexico State clinched the No. 13 seed in
the Midwest region after winning the Western Athletic conference tournament on Saturday night. Gonzaga has the No. 1 seed the West region, Ohio State nabbed second and Kansas State rounds out the top four. The Lobos have reached the NCAA tournament three of the past four seasons under head coach Steve Alford, and 14 times in the school’s history. More than 6,000 fans showed up to The Pit Sunday afternoon to hear the NCAA seeding announcement. Fans of the Lobos cheered on as the team’s seed and opponent was announced. The upcoming showdown with the Crimson will be the first time the teams have played each other. Season-ticket holder Jared Olguin said he’s optimistic after the announcement, and talked about the team’s next potential opponent, the University of Arizona. “If we took any team out to get

NAIROBI, Kenya — Police in Kenya lobbed tear gas Saturday on crowds supporting the prime minister as he filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to void the presidential election, a vote the prime minister says was neither free nor fair.

ner of the country’s March 4 vote. Kenyatta won by a hair, with 50.07 percent of the vote, breaking the 50 percent mark by about 8,000 votes out of 12.3 million cast. Odinga wants Kenya to hold new elections. The petition filed Saturday asks the court to set aside the announcement by the election commission on March 9 that Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto had won the presidency and deputy presidency. Odinga is being represented by a U.S. lawyer who formerly represented former President George W. Bush, said Eliud Owalo, Odinga’s campaign manager.

Odinga came in second in the eight-candidate field with 43 percent of the vote. He had hoped to keep Kenyatta under the 50 percent mark and force a two-man runoff. The U.S., U.K. and Europe are watching the results closely in Kenya, the lynchpin of East Africa’s economy. Many African countries have directly congratulated Kenyatta for winning the presidency, but many Western countries including the U.S. and U.K. released statements congratulating Kenyan voters but omitting any mention of Kenyatta.

RICHLAND, Wash. — Federal officials are looking to ship some 3 million gallons of radioactive waste from Washington state to New Mexico, giving the government more flexibility to deal with leaking tanks at Hanford Nuclear Reservation, officials said March 6. The Department of Energy said its preferred plan would ultimately dispose of the waste in a massive repository — called the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant — near Carlsbad, N.M, where radioactive materials are buried in rooms excavated in vast salt beds nearly a half-mile underground. The federal proposal was quickly met with criticism from a New Mexico environmental group that said the state permit allowing the government to bury waste at the plant would not allow for shipments from Hanford, the nation’s most contaminated nuclear site. Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) said WIPP specifically prohibits waste from Hanford and any proposal to modify permit language in this case would need “strong justification and public input.” “WIPP has demonstrated success in its handling of defense TRU waste,” Udall said in a statement. “With regard to Hanford waste, I urge all parties involved to exhibit caution and scientific integrity to ensure that DOE is abiding by the law and that the waste classifications are justified.” The waste near Carlsbad includes such things as clothing, tools and other debris. Between 2000 and 2011, the Hanford site sent the equivalent of about 25,000 drums of such socalled transuranic waste, which is radioactive but less deadly than the worst, high-level waste. The latest proposal would target just a fraction of the transuranic waste from Hanford’s underground tanks, which hold a toxic, radioactive stew of liquids, sludge and solids. Federal officials have identified six leaking tanks at Hanford. Five of those tanks contain transuranic waste, said Tom Fletcher, assistant manager of the tank farms for the Energy Department. Dave Huizenga, head of
the Energy Department’s Environmental Management program, said the transfer would not impact the safe operations of the New Mexico facility. “This alternative, if selected for implementation in a record of decision, could enable the Department to reduce potential health and environmental risk in Washington State,” said Huizenga. Don Hancock, of the Albuquerque-based watchdog group Southwest Research and Information opposing the transfer to New Mexico, said this is not the first time DOE has proposed bringing more waste to the plant near Carlsbad. “This is a bad, old idea that’s been uniformly rejected on a bipartisan basis by politicians when it came up in the past, and it’s been strongly opposed by citizen groups like mine and others,” Hancock said. “It’s also clear that it’s illegal.” Disposal operations near Carlsbad began in March 1999. Since then, more than 85,000 cubic meters of waste have been shipped to WIPP from a dozen sites around the country. Any additional waste from Hanford would have to be analyzed to ensure it could be stored at the site because a permit issued by the New Mexico Environment Department dictates what kinds of waste and the volumes that can be stored there. WIPP spokeswoman Deb Gill said the facility does not anticipate any problems with its existing capacity as permitted under law. Officials estimate that some 7,000 to 40,000 drums of waste would be trucked to New Mexico, depending on how the waste is treated and its final form. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee says the proposal is a good start in the process of getting rid of Hanford’s waste. “I will be insistent that the full cycle of technical review and permitting is resolved so that any grouted material does not remain in the state of Washington,” Inslee said. Inslee traveled Wednesday to Hanford to learn more about the leaking waste tanks. His trip came a day after federal officials acknowledged budget cuts may disrupt efforts to empty the aging
vessels. Inslee said sending waste to New Mexico is two to four years away. He also said a system is in place to treat the groundwater should contamination from the leaks reach it. In the meantime, Inslee plans to push Congress to fully fund this proposal, saying “every single dollar of it is justified.”

THIS WEEK’S POLL: On March 13, Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected as Pope Francis of the Catholic Church. What do you think about this? I am excited because he does not indulge in the luxuries that come with his position in the Catholic Church. The most important thing to me is that he is the first Latin American pope.
I have a problem with the fact that during the Dirty War (1976-1983), he was not a strong advocate against the dictatorship in Argentina, his home country. I don’t care because I’m not Catholic.
I’m Catholic, but that doesn’t mean I care about who the new pope is.

Chick-fil-A is latest case of UNM bias
Editor’s note: This letter is in response to the article “8-3 vote keeps Chick-fil-A in the SUB,” published in the Daily Lobo Feb. 28. The article was about the SUB Board vote to keep Chickfil-A in the SUB after an ASUNM Senate vote to recommend that they remove it, despite survey results that showed 85 percent of those surveyed were in favor of keeping the restaurant. The SUB Board performed a similar survey that reported 44 percent of respondents said Chickfil-A’s principles are positive overall, while 41 percent said they are negative overall.

COLUMN
Daily Lobo guest columnist opinion@dailylobo.com I am responding to the excellent reporting by Daily Lobo scribe Ardee Napolitano regarding the Chick-fil-A controversy. And I want to thank Rebecca Vanucci and the two other Student Union Board members who sustained a “no” vote. It’s rather shocking that the board voted to keep Chick-fil-A in the face of two very disparate surveys and a mere 44 percent mandate. This vote directly impacts the lives of gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer and transgendered people and it’s shocking that the student union board is essentially voting on the rights of those who are non-gender-conforming. Aren’t rights inalienable? Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s assertions about who has the audacity to define marriage are ludicrous given that his donations to the Family Research Council fund legislative lobbying efforts that restrict definitions of marriage to man and woman while defaming homosexuality via what the Southern Poverty Law Center has outright labeled “junk science.” The Family Research Council and Focus on the Family were founded by James Dobson in Colorado Springs. Dobson manages annual revenues of more than $130 million. Both organizations advocate for Bible-based citizenship, abstinence-only education and reparative therapy for non-gender-conforming people. Given Chick-fil-A’s large donations to the Dobson empire, I wished the SUB Board had seriously considered, too, this wringing of profits from New Mexico to be sucked into a more affluent region for purposes that betray UNM’s mission to “increase access by and participation of traditionally underrepresent-
ed groups” (Administrative Policies and Procedures, 3100.4). In addition, this document also clearly states sexual orientation and gender identity are protected categories. The New York Times states Chick-fil-A gives millions to “groups working to defeat same-sex marriage initiatives” and that the “company’s Christian culture and its strict hiring practices … require potential operators to discuss their marital status and civic and church involvement” (NYT, Jan. 29, 2011). Chick-fil-A’s profits directly fund groups that relegate some of us to a tenuous second-class citizenship and my queer heart sank when reading Walter Miller’s comments. The associate vice president for Student Life (paid $130,964 annually) betrays principles in favor of economics, apparently stating student fees would have to cover the $175,000 cosmic price tag that engenders in any bid to replace this icon of the food court. Is Miller really suggesting that, in addition to the incredible savings incurred by restaurants in the SUB due to not having labor upkeep for seating or restrooms, these restaurants are also seeded $175,000 for kitchen set-up and equipment? This is corporate welfare. Miller adamantly states this is money that will come from student fees. He is threatening in his unprincipled dialectical machinations. I believe many of us can attest to the limited employment opportunities at UNM available to workers who are black, aging, gay, disabled, female, or of native or Mexican descent. The segregation is shockingly overt within the Physical Plant, which employs a pool of some 400 hourly-wage workers. Within maintenance, the labor pool of licensed technicians and facility technicians is 100 percent male. Grounds is also predominantly male and includes a large percentage of native and Mexican-descent workers. Custodial is a large work force comprising women who are first-language Spanish speakers. This is segregation and again betrays the University mission. What do salaries look like within the Physical Plant? And how do they compare to salaries of those who are part of the academic mission? — Associate director of environmental services, grounds and maintenance and planning, Ph.D. in horticulture, three years in: $115,117. — Area manager with no college degree: $64,628. — Area supervisor with no college degree and
one license: $54,504. — Senior lecturer, mathematics, Ph.D., teaching 18 credit hours and 20 years in: $42,000. — Male plumber II with five years in, two licenses: $40,310. — Female plumber II with ten years in, some college and three licenses: $36,810. — Groundskeeper: $21,207. — Custodian: $18,720. Predictably, it is the lowest strata of hourly-wage employees covered by an almost nonenforceable CWA bargaining contract that labor on conscientiously, despite a decade of UNM economic austerity measures and five years of stagnant wages. In addition, the $0.15 an hour night-shift differential of custodians was stripped away when their shifts abruptly changed from beginning at 4:30 p.m. to beginning at 4:30 a.m. Over 25 years, UNM will save $7,800 per employee. These are the logistics worked out in the upper echelons of management class that must constantly conform to neoliberal imperatives that squeeze workers and reward the lackeys of economic mayhem. UNM bargaining unit employees covered by the CWA contract labor in the most draconian of conditions and are subject to disciplinary measures. It’s beyond the pale of imagination that some of the lowest paid workers are now regularly subject to unpaid suspensions of three days by managers spurred by personal animus and a corporatist incentivism that raids workers’ salaries, pensions, health care and educational opportunities as a way to extract productivity and balance budgets. David Harvey writes about the management squeeze on workers as “extracting tribute.” Wealth gained from workers enriches a management country club class at UNM that does generally receive annual contractual raises and enjoy a very leisured life “working” at UNM. For Miller to claim, also, that it’s not about safety must be considered within the realities of these enduring inequalities. This affects our physical safety and the material conditions of our lives. I just wish the UNM upper administration would quit protecting departmental structures that buttress a sexist, queer-hating, racialized hierarchy that reinscribes patterns of settler colonialism upon captive student and employee populations. This is definitely not about the chicken.

APD chief Schultz to resign by Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press
The head of Albuquerque’s embattled police department says he’s retiring after an eight-year tenure marred by a spike in fatal police shootings and excessive force cases that critics blamed on a departmental culture that fostered brutality. Chief Ray Schultz’s announcement on Friday comes five months after the U.S. Department of Justice launched a civil rights investigation that was spurred by protests, lawsuits and demands for a wide-scale change. It came the same day jurors awarded more than $10 million to the family of an Iraq War veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder who was killed by an Albuquerque police officer during a 2010 standoff at a convenience store. The city has seen a string of officer-involved shootings — 18 of them fatal — since 2010. The department also has been plagued by a number of high-profile cases alleging excessive
force, including some cases caught on video. And several officers have been reprimanded for controversial social media postings, including one by an officer involved in a fatal shooting who described his occupation as “human waste disposal.” This week, City Council President Dan Lewis joined the call for change, saying the department’s reputation had been tarnished. On Friday, Lewis said Schultz made a courageous decision and this marks a critical time in the department’s history. “Despite all that the department and city have been through, I believe he is turning to the next chief a better department,” Lewis said. Jewel Hall, president of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center Board and a vocal critic of the department, was pleased to hear of Schultz’s impending retirement. She and other advocates had pushed for the federal inquiry into the department’s practices and have long called for his resignation as necessary to effect a change in department culture. “That goes to show you, when

people continue to ask for justice and for answers, things will change,” Hall said. In a letter sent to the city’s chief administrative officer Wednesday, Schultz said he plans to retire sometime during the summer or fall. The letter was released Friday by the mayor’s office and the police department. The chief indicated that he had first proposed his retirement to city officials in January. He said he is now ready to go forward with the next chapter of his life and make more time for his family. “I believe in the department and our city and as such know that a true leader knows when it is the proper time to step aside and let the next generation continue the mission,” Schultz wrote in his letter. Schultz has defended his record. He said this week in a statement to the Albuquerque Journal that he was proud of the work his officers do. “All I can say is that I continue to

House Bill 77, which aimed to increase regulation of gun sales at gun shows by requiring stricter background checks, was filibustered in the Senate on the last day of the session. The “Burque Pops� bill was
tabled in the Senate and never made it to a vote. The bill would have made it possible to classify online chat rooms and other electronic forums as houses of prostitution. Aside from SB 113, none of the proposed solutions to the dwindling funds for the Lottery Scholarship made it through the Legislature and were either tabled or defeated in committee. A number of UNM-related bills, such as a proposal to examine whether UNM Gallup would be better off as an independent community college, a proposal to increase funding to UNM’s dental and nursing programs and a proposal to increase funding to the school of architecture’s community outreach activities all stalled in the Legislature.

Bennett’s 15 was UNLV’s second-best total, while Reinhardt added 11. The Runnin’ Rebels were 20 of 59 from the field (33.9 percent) and 9 of 31 from the arc (33.9 percent). Top-seeded UNM reached the
MWC title game with wins over Wyoming on Wednesday and San Diego State on Friday. UNLV had wins over Air Force and Colorado State in the tournament’s earlier rounds. “This has been a long week of travel.

limiting last season’s MWC player of the year to eight points (3 of 12 shooting) in Friday’s 60-50 semifinal win. “Everybody sees him shoot, everybody wants him to shoot more and score more, but now they see a guy that is really committed to the defensive end,� Alford said, referring to Snell. “The defensive end is the unselfish end. I think seeing his development there has given Tony confidence: Now he’s doing more offensively because I
think where he’s built his confidence at the defensive end.� Alford said he wants Snell to become more verbal, but at the same time he doesn’t want to change who Snell is. “All these guys lead in their different ways,� Alford said. “Kendall (Williams) is more vocal than Tony; Tony leads a little bit different, but still has done a very good job for us in leadership.�

Faculty urge salary boost Instructors say salary increase less expensive in the long run

Regents table proposal to allow academic leave for some lecturers
A new addition to the Honors College
Neel ruffled UNM President Robert Frank’s feathers when she asked the board to approve a proposal that Frank hadn’t known about before the meeting. “I have two distinct issues. One, I don’t believe a policy like this should ever come before the regents without being shown to the president of the University for the president’s reaction, and two, I don’t agree with the policy,” Frank said. Neel and Abdallah said they were following procedure for policy changes, according to the guidelines in the faculty handbook. The proposal was to allow academic leave, or sabbatical, for principal lecturers. The leave would be to promote professional development, and the terms would be similar to
The University of New Mexico Student Publications Board is now Accepting Applications for
2013-2014 Daily Lobo Editor Apply at: unmjobs.unm.edu Application Deadline: 1 p.m. Friday, March 29, 2013. Term of Office: May 2013 through April 2014. Requirements: To be selected as editor of the Daily Lobo, the candidate must be a student enrolled at the University of New Mexico, have been enrolled in 6 hours or more at UNM the current and preceding semester, and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 by the end of the preceding semester. The editor must be enrolled as a UNM student in a degree-granting program for 6 hours or more throughout the term of office. Some publication experience preferable. For more information call 277-5656.
Also at the meeting, the board approved the creation of a Bachelor of Arts degree in interdisciplinary liberal arts. Catherine Krause, dean of the Honors College, said the degree is purposely general and focuses on preparing students to analyze a set of facts rather than just memorize them. “What happens when a student leaves UNM? They’re going to confront a world where those competencies will matter more than the ability to get facts,” Krause said. “You want facts, you can get those on Google. You want to be able to use those facts and integrate them across disciplines.” Some of the focuses of this new major include globalization and language, new technologies, research methodology, and community engagement, Krause said.

sabbatical for tenure-track professors. These terms stipulate the lecturer would have to have a contract with the University for at least one year. Additionally, for lecturers in the Health Sciences Center to take off six months, they would have to return at least six months. For main campus lecturers, they would have to return for at least one semester to take leave for six months. A principal lecturer is someone who’s been with UNM for at least six years and is required to teach several classes per semester. Such lecturers would be eligible for sabbatical after six years with UNM, but it would not be granted automatically. “I also have concerns about the notion of putting lecturers on sabbatical, it’s not the nature of that track in my mind,” Frank said. “And I would have liked to be part of that conversation. And that it would go through a whole committee process and the president not being involved I find even more odd.” The motion for approval was tabled. When Neel approached the regents later in the meeting, she announced that she had just relayed Frank’s concerns to university secretary’s office and the Faculty Senate policy committee. She said the committee is in the process of making changes to the faculty handbook, so this was the perfect opportunity to involve president’s office in that process.

The University may be losing faculty if it doesn’t do something to increase faculty salaries. The provost’s plan to increase faculty salaries came up at the March 11 Board of Regents meeting when Amy Neel, president of the Faculty Senate, urged the regents to approve the plan. Provost Chaouki Abdallah’s plan proposes to bring UNM faculty salaries in line with those of faculty members at peer institutions over a five-year period. For four years, faculty members have received no raises, and increased health care costs and retirement payments to the state have even lowered their pay, Neel said. Additionally, there are only eight states that pay their flagship university’s faculty members less than UNM does, she said. “Even faculty members in states that typically rival New Mexico for the worst statistics in every conceivable category — Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and West Virginia — make considerably higher salaries than UNM faculty members,” Neel said. According to surveys conducted by the Office of the Provost, UNM’s average faculty salaries range from $7,000 to $21,000 less than those at comparable universities for professors, associate professors, and assistant professors. Neel said she’s heard from the provost and some deans that more than a dozen faculty members have gotten offers from other universities in just the past few weeks, some involving pay increases of $10,000 to $30,000. “After four years of no pay increases, it is very tempting to leave UNM for literally greener pastures,” Neel said. To attract new professors, UNM must pay close to national market rates, which has further lowered morale among faculty, she said. In Neel’s department, speech and hearing sciences, a new assistant professor was hired last month. Neel said he’ll be paid as much as she does even though she’s worked for UNM for 12 years. In addition to urging the regents to approve the provost’s plan, she wanted them to find
funds for a 6 percent increase in faculty salaries, which is a request on top of Abdallah’s plan. “We recognize that students will probably bear the burden of increased faculty salaries, and that is a very difficult position for us to take,” she said. “However, UNM cannot carry out its initiatives to improve student success, to have an honors college, to be a preeminent research university, and to advance economic development in the state of New Mexico without the dedicated work of faculty members.” It is more expensive for UNM to replace faculty than it would be for it to increase salaries, Neel said. Abdallah added that the University is paying one way or another, whether it’s in compensation or counter offers to keep faculty members. He said by addressing the faculty salary issue, the University avoids having to deal with less frequent, but more expensive counter offers. Regent Gene Gallegos suggested looking into reserves in various departments, although Abdalla said most these are onetime surpluses and when they run out, that’s it. Gallegos said he’s not convinced recurring funds don’t exist to put toward increased faculty salaries. No further action was taken at the meeting.

Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
New Mexico Daily Lobo
Year Zero
When you wish upon a star Capricorn — During the next month, you’ll find yourself more willing and able to come out of your shell and act more directly to get what you want. The dominant Pisces is abdicating the throne midweek when Aries assumes power. Expect your goals to become much clearer, and your pursuit of them more passionate. Sounds great right? Just be sure you aren’t stepping on any toes along the way; it’s easy to burn bridges during this time. Aquarius — Your head comes out of the clouds this week, and the relief you’ll feel is akin to the end of allergy season. Suddenly, your life makes sense again and you realize there was no problem to solve. Pisces had everyone in a period of deep reflection, and now is the time to act on the realizations you have had in the last few weeks. Maintaining diplomacy is difficult for you, so keep in mind you’ll be most successful when you’re able to compromise. Pisces — Starting midweek and lasting for the next month, you may be dealing with the feeling that your skin is crawling. Your blood may boil uncontrollably at times, as this time is all about taking action and being quick about it. The advantage is you’ll be most able to sort out when it will and won’t be beneficial to succumb to whim, as your intuition remains strong. Try to be patient and lighthearted with others and it will be a successful few weeks. Aries — The last month, you may have felt as if you were climbing a mountain. The air grew mistier, and your companions dropped off, leaving you alone on your journey to the top. This next month is about celebrating your position at the top, as Aries is dominating the cosmic scene starting midweek. Living and loving come easier at this time, but be especially aware of your tendencies toward impul-
siveness and arrogance. Taurus — You may feel agitated more than usual during the next few weeks, as hot-tempered Aries will be all over the map come midweek. You’re not one to act on impulse, and you hate to be rushed. However, you will regret not using this energy to your advantage, as you stand to reap serious financial rewards if you set your mind to being the best. Apply this competitive mindset to all areas of life, but especially to those in which you’ve been struggling lately. Gemini — The first daily dose of caffeine brings much-welcome relief to many people, much like the increasing influence of Aries in the stars this week. The effects of this fiery sign continue over the next month, during which you’ll feel more confident. Your mind may have trouble keeping up, as Pisces stays in Mercury until April 13. However, this may keep you from making too many tempting decisions you’ll regret in April and May. Cancer — While doing the right thing is clear to you intuitively, you may be having a hard time following through on what you know to be in your best interests. For the next month, Aries enters the scene in a big way, jerking you around like a car in a high-speed chase. You’re more at the mercy of your emotions, but you’ll also feel more invigorated than you have in the past few weeks. Remember to set aside regular downtime to mitigate this influence. Leo — The potent Pisces influence the past few weeks have made you feel like a kitty that’s been declawed. Fortunately, Aries is coming back into the picture with all the confident and personal power you’ve been sorely missing. This looks to be an adventurous month ahead of you in which you see more possibilities than you have been lately. Don’t expect to
get everything you want, and try to have patience. But this is certainly not the time to hold back. Virgo — You’ll be feeling more in charge of your life over the next month, as chaotic Pisces leaves the scene. Now that you have a clearer vision of your circumstances, you may be frustrated at a lack of progress or sense of stagnancy. You have the opportunity to make up for lost time this week. Be sure not to spend money frivolously. Little indulgences will be especially tempting, but they will add up quickly before you realize it. Libra — Decision-making will come more naturally to you in the next few weeks, though in retrospect you may regret some of the more impulsive ones. You have a clear idea of solutions, and though you may know what’s best, it is still important to consider all the potentially affected parties. Avoid trouble by communicating everything you want before going through with what you want. That way, you avoid others feeling disrespected and resentful. Scorpio — The pace is going to significantly pick up in your life over the next month, so try to prepare your head the whirlwind that awaits you. If you go through this period with reluctance and fear, you’re squandering the chance to make great leaps in life. In social situations especially you can expect to make some colorful splashes, so let loose and have fun. It’s time to unfurl your brow and focus on the present. Sagittarius — You may have been cutting yourself too much slack lately, as the overwhelming Pisces influence has left you drowning in a sea of emotion. The ups have been swell, but the downs have forced you to face some dark inner demons. Sort through all of that, and know that the next few weeks offer you a clean slate.

Lobos take tourney title Lobos snag Mountain West tournament championship on UNLV’s turf 63-56, earn No. 3 seed in NCAA West tournament by J.R. Oppenheim
assistantsports@dailylobo.com @JROppenheim
Juan Labreche/ @labrechmode / Daily Lobo Lobo guard Hugh Greenwood fakes out a UNLV player while driving to the hoop during UNM’s play against UNLV in the Mountain West Conference Championship final game on Saturday. The win, 63-56, gives the Lobos an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament, which begins this week.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. — New Mexico has seen a little bit of everything this season. From Wyoming’s grind-it-out style to the UNLV’s up-tempo pace, the No. 15 Lobos have beaten them all at least once, both in the regular season and now at the Mountain West basketball championships. Behind another strong effort from junior guard Tony Snell, No. 15 New Mexico cut down the nets at the Thomas & Mack Center as Mountain West champions after disposing of UNLV 63-56 on Saturday. The win gives UNM (29-5) an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament, which begins next week. It was announced on Sunday the Lobos are the No. 3 seed in the West and will play Harvard in Salt Lake City on Thursday. With the national bid already locked up, UNM head coach Steve Alford said his team is ready for anything. “We played a lot of styles, but there are matchups that are better than others,” said Alford, whose team also won the league’s regular-season title. “This league has prepared us for that. We’ve seen everything out of this league.” Snell, known as UNM’s “silent assassin,” earned MWC tournament MVP honors after scoring 21 points, including five 3-pointers, against UNLV. He went off on a personal 10-2 run over four-and-a-half minutes, breaking a close 46-45 edge to a 5647 lead. He finished the tournament having scored 53 points overall. “We knew we’ve always been the underdog,” Snell said. “That’s what I love about this team: We’re underdogs, but we still like to go out and prove people wrong, that we’re good enough to win championships.” Aside from an early offensive outburst, UNM kept UNLV’s top player Anthony Bennett in check. The freshman forward scored 13 of the Runnin’ Rebels’ first 15 points over the game’s initial 7:20, but scored only two points for the rest of the game. His last field goal after that run did not come until the 12:14 mark of the second half. Bennett also had a double-double, pulling down 11 rebounds with 10 on the defensive end. Alford said he did not make any
adjustments that limited Bennett’s production. He credited starting junior forward Cameron Bairstow and reserve senior forward Chad Adams with maintaining pressure on the UNLV star. Recording nine points and seven rebounds in the finale, Bairstow joined Snell as MWC all-tournament team member. In three games at the Thomas & Mack, Bairstow scored 39 points and pulled down 26 rebounds. He made 15 of his 18 attempts from the foul line. Alford joked in his postgame press conference opening statement he had to explain “to my Aussie what all-tournament means,” throwing his arm around Bairstow. “As coach already said to us, the first three seasons have already been successful,” Bairstow said, referring to the nonconference schedule, league play and MWC tournament. “So it’s just up to us to continue it into season four (the NCAA tournament).” UNLV (25-9) dominated the glass, pulling down 41 rebounds to UNM’s 29. Even with 14 offensive rebounds, the Runnin’ Rebels mustered just five second-chance points. UNM won the post battle, outscoring UNLV 24-16 in points in the paint. Bennett’s early production helped UNLV gain early 15-13 as both teams exchanged leads in the early going. UNM then rattled off a 10-2 run to build a 23-17 advantage. The Lobos led 31-27 before a 6-3 run capped by guard Katin Reinhardt’s buzzer-beating triple cut the deficit to 34-32 at halftime. UNM brought the lead back to 4439 before a four-minute Lobo scoring drought allowed UNLV to tie the game at 44. Lobo junior guard ended the slump with a field goal, then Snell had his big run that included back-toback 3-pointers. “Bottom line is that New Mexico’s very good offensively: They have very, very good players, they’re well coached,” said UNLV coach Dave Rice. “But the other side of the coin is that we made way too many defensive mistakes.” The Runnin’ Rebels came back to within three points, 56-53, but got no closer when Snell hit his fifth triple with 65 seconds left. After Williams hit two foul shots, he stole the ball from Reinhardt and executed a 360

“Silent Assassin” Tony Snell nets 21 points against UNLV in Mountain West championship game by Thomas Romero-Salas sports@dailylobo.com @ThomasRomeroS
LAS VEGAS, Nev. — When asking Tony Snell a question, be prepared for a short answer. UNM’s junior guard isn’t the most talkative person, but what he lacks in words he more than makes up on the hard court. Snell’s quiet demeanor has earned him the nickname “Silent Assassin.” In the Mountain West men’s basketball championship title game against UNLV, Snell netted 21 points on 8 of 11 shots in the No. 15 Lobos’ 63-56 victory over the Runnin’ Rebels at the Thomas & Mack Center. Sinking five 3-pointers against both San Diego State on Friday and UNLV on Saturday, he became the second player in UNM history to hit five triples in
consecutive conference tournament games. The Lobos barraged the Runnin’ Rebels with a balanced attack as seven players scored at least two points, but UNLV head coach Dave Rice said Snell did the majority of the damage. “The guy who really got away from us today is an NBA player,” Rice said. “There’s no doubt that Tony Snell is going to play in that league for a long time with the things he’s able to do.” Snell snagged the tournament MVP and MWC all-tournament team honors after averaging 17.6 points, three boards, three assists and four 3-pointers per game over a threegame stretch. He shot 51 percent from the floor and 57 percent from beyond the arc. During the last two seasons, Snell heated up when winter turned into
