UNM readies for Fiestas By Shayla Cunico @ShaylaCunico This Saturday, Johnson Field will be transformed into a gated performance space that will play host to DJ, Ookay and Boogie for Fiestas 2019. Every year the Associated Students of New Mexico Student Special Events (SSE) puts on Fiestas, an annual music festival held at the University of New Mexico. The festival starts at noon and will be lighting up the faces of attendees until around 9 p.m. Abraham 'Abe' Laguna, also known as Ookay, is an LA-based DJ and will be headlining this year's event. He is most popularly known for the remix he did with Diplo of Avicii's "You Make Me." The 27-year-old has also created tracks with Marshmello and Noah Cyrus.

Lobos win after dramatic comeback By Matthew Narvaiz @matt_narvaiz It looked as though it was going to be Texas Tech's day for the second game in a row over the Lobos, on UNM’s home field early Wednesday afternoon. But after going down 8-2 to the Red Raiders, who put together a six-run inning in the third, a mix of relief pitching and timely hitting helped the Lobos make the improbable comeback, as they went on to win 12-9 and split the series against the 11th best team in the nation. But UNM (15-14) didn’t shy away from Texas Tech’s (19-8) large lead and was able to put up a run each in the first and second innings. The Lobos big break came in the bottom of the fifth when they put together their first three-run inning. Down 8-4 at the time, the Lobos were able to string together three singles to load the bases. That brought up Jared Mang, who then singled to left field and scored both Ediberto Reyes and Justin Watari in the process. The Lobos third run in the bottom of the fifth came by way of a flyout from Jeff Deimling that scored Hayden Schilling, who was on third base at the time. Jack Murano, UNM’s starting pitcher, had a tough outing, allowing eight runs on eight hits in just two-and-a-third innings on the mound. But UNM’s relief pitching, at least in the later innings, is what helped them out. In the fourth through the seventh innings, Texas Tech was unable to score a single run — and they only scored one more the entire game. That was due in part to

the five Lobo pitchers who did their part. Brian Coffey, who came in for Murano, pitched 2.2 innings and allowed zero runs and just three hits. Jack White, Blake Walden, Malachi Edmond and Schilling— who closed—pitched the remaining innings, and they allowed just four hits and one run total between them. The best hitter on Wednesday afternoon for UNM was Connor Mang, who went 3-for-4 with four RBIs. Jared Mang went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and three runs, while Schilling did his part by scoring three separate times. Watari, Deimling and Reyes each
had two hits, too. Connor Mang’s most memorable moment came in the bottom of the eighth with his team up 10-9. With runners on second and third and with two outs, he singled up the middle and scored both Jared and Schilling, giving the Lobos a 12-9 lead and helping seal their eventual victory. UNM allowed 15 hits total, though nine of those came in the first three innings of the game. On the other hand, the Lobos combined for 13 hits. The Lobos’ bullpen was able to strike out eight and walk just four
Texas Tech batters. UNM will now head to California to take on San Jose State in a three-game series that starts on Friday, April 5. The Lobos are 6-6 in conference play and 4-4 away from Santa Ana Star Field. Matthew Narvaiz is a senior writer for the Daily Lobo. He helps with baseball and basketball coverage.

Two down, one to go. Starting on April 15, the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico will conduct their third and final election of the 20182019 school year. This time around, 15 undergraduates are looking to fill no less than 10 open seats on the ASUNM Senate. Every semester at least 10 Senate seats are automatically up for election. Some senators elected in the fall term may decide to resign, opening up more seats. “If you want to win, you got to campaign,” said Executive Director of Elections Commissions Jordan Montoya to the 15 students at the candidates' meeting on Tuesday. The candidates are Abby Lutz, Abigale Aldrich, Adam Lopez, Briana Flores, Dequez Irving, Emma Hotz, Erik Neal, Gabriel Ruja, Giovanni Chioda, Matthew Zank, Michel Rivera, Mohammad Jaber, Nolan McKim, Taysear Ali and Victor Ryan Regalado. Flores is a student in the Anderson School of Management, while the other 14 candidates are a part of College of Arts and Sciences. This semester, legislation to make ASUNM more representative of UNM undergraduates — potentially adding protected seats based on how many students are enrolled in various colleges — was failed in committee. Steering & Rules senators said the package was not sufficiently fleshed out enough to be passed. Many senators also expressed support for the idea of the legislation, as previously reported by the Daily Lobo. Student organizations can endorse candidates at the Endorsement Forum on April 8. The election results will be announced at 6 p.m. on the last day of voting in the Student Union Building Atrium. The “Don’ts” of Campaigning “It’s better to ask for permission, than beg for forgiveness,” Montoya told senators during the candidate meeting on Tuesday. Breaking the ASUNM elections code can be a costly affair. In addition to ASUNM fines, candidates who break campus policy could be subjected to a Student Code of Conduct review and punishment from the Dean of Student's Office. According to an Election Commission’s survey from the 2019 ASUNM presidential election, over 500 of the nearly 1300 students who
