Safety rule deters sex assault reporting ASUNM supports cultural diversity

By Matthew Reisen

Survivors of rape and/or sexual assault are now required to have a background check before they can receive services from the Albuquerque Family Advocacy Center.

The policy, titled “AFAC Safety and Security Plan,” states that “the client, and all those accompanying the client, will provide a name and date of birth for a background check in the NMJustice.org database.” It further states, “in cases where the client refuses to produce identifying information, the client will be directed to the appropriate off-site agency to seek the requested services.”

The policy was created in 2007, but has only been actively enforced since November.

The problem is that AFAC provides services that cannot be found elsewhere for victims of sexual assault or rape, such as medical investigations and DNA analysis, and many feel that a background check may cause victims to refuse or hesitate to come forward.

AFAC works with on-site agencies like Resources Inc. and Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner to offer services including physical examinations, prescriptions for emergency contraceptives, counseling or referrals to additional outside services.

Communications and Community Outreach Director for APD Celine Espinoza said that while the policy was enacted by AFAC’s board and is not an APD policy, APD does feel it is important for safety.

“We want to ensure the center is a safe, secure place for everyone to receive vital help and services,” she said. “Staff are checking for existing restraining orders to ensure victims’ safety, for prior domestic violencerelated charges, and for violent felonies. The resulting information is not stored by anyone or anywhere; this is to ensure the safety of everyone involved. No one is denied services.”

Lobos lobby Legislature in session

By Marielle Dent Most people who watched Schoolhouse Rock as kids understand the basic process by which a bill becomes state law: the bill passes through the House of Representatives and the Senate committees, is voted on, and is then approved by the governor.

UNM’s Office of Government Relations, however, is involved with the more nuanced process that comes beforehand to familiarize legislators with issues important to the University community.

This office serves as the University’s lead representative and advocate with elected officials, and ensures that important issues involving UNM are on their agendas.

As soon as the legislative session ends, Government Relations begins working with UNM groups to find the issues that matter most to the community for the next year’s session.

The office meets with constituency groups that include the Alumni Association, ASUNM, Faculty Senate, GPSA, the Parent Association, Staff Council and the Retirees Association, said Matt Munoz, a government relations specialist.

The topics compiled by those groups are brought to the leadership team, which includes the University President, Provost, the Chancellor of the medical school and the executive vice president of administration. This team considers issues they believe to be priorities and compiles a list to be taken to the Board of Regents, Munoz said.

Government relations seeks regent approval and takes a finalized list to the legislative interim committee process.

These sessions include everything outside of the 30/60day legislative session. Interim committees are made up of both

Senate and House members and focus on specific topics of interest, such as science and technology or health and human services.

“We start working with them to make those issues (important to UNM) a part of their work plan and try to get them on their agendas,” Munoz said. “This builds awareness so when we go into the (legislative) session they know what the programs are, rather than being hit on the fly. The interim session is where we get a lot of the legwork done.”

Once the legislative session begins, bills are drafted, and then heard on the floor by the Senate and House before passing on to be approved by the governor.

UNM’s interests are also communicated to legislators by a second active group: Lobos for Legislation is made up of University alumni who work on a volunteer basis.

“We are advocates not only for UNM but for high education in New

Mexico,” said Harold Lavender, Lobos for Legislation chair. “Our goal is to visit with and talk to every single one of the legislators and let them know we support the University and that we’re behind legislation that’s positive.”

The group also sponsors several events in the name of the Alumni Association, including hosting a legislative reception at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe every year during the legislative session. Lavender said it is well-attended and that he would be surprised to see fewer than 60 legislators attend this year.

On Monday, UNM Day will be hosted at the Roundhouse to build awareness with legislators about the work UNM students and faculty do and its importance to the state.

Booths representing UNM’s many programs will be set up in the rotunda and two students and two

The Associated Students of the University of New Mexico unanimously passed Resolution 1S at Wednesday’s senate meeting, declaring their support of Black History Month and campus events educating and informing students about African-American accomplishments and heritage.

Sen. Rebecca Hampton introduced the legislation at Wednesday’s meeting, saying that the resolution goes beyond supporting Black History Month events.

“It’s about celebrating the accomplishments that black people have achieved in their struggles, both historically and presently,” she said.

According to the resolution, Black History Month events “serve to educate and establish a sense of community and culture at UNM.” By passing the resolution,

assault immediately after, but said he would not have done so had a background check been required.

“That is one of the more twisted things I’ve heard in a really long time. When somebody has been assaulted at that level, who are they to say somebody in trauma is dangerous?” he said. “The whole process of reporting is so deeply humiliating as it is: dealing with the police, dealing with the hospital staff, dealing with the SANE unit. Throwing more bullshit into it is just going to make it so much harder for people to say anything — I certainly wouldn’t have.”

Mark also pointed out that any sort of background check could produce records available during a court proceeding.

Espinoza defended the policy, and said AFAC is not the only agency with such a requirement.

“Centers across the country, which provide the same essential resources, have very similar policies,” Espinoza said.

Antoinette Sedillo Lopez is executive director at Enlace Comunitario, a nonprofit organization whose mission is “to eliminate domestic violence in the Latino immigrant community through prevention and intervention services.”

Lopez said she is very worried about the effect this policy will have on sexual assault victims who are immigrants.

“I respect the concern for safety; I worry about the safety of my staff. I totally respect that, but I have to make it comfortable for my clients too. You have to find a balance,” Lopez said. “Immigrants often don’t trust authority anyway, and this puts another barrier to their access to services in the area of sexual assault and domestic violence.”

Adding metal detectors, which are already used in courthouses and other government facilities, is one way the facility could improve security without being invasive to the people who seek assistance there, Lopez said.

“The background check is just, I mean — if the idea of the center is to be as open as possible, this isn’t consistent with that,” Lopez said.

“I just believe we should make it as easy as possible for clients to get services.”

The background check information is passed on to the agency representative or caseworker, and “if the client and those accompanying the client are cleared to seek service … all existing visitor protocol and

lifestyles and the likelihood of prior arrests or outstanding warrants, Lopez said. They also may be the most at-risk and in need of services.

Figures vary, but ProstitutionResearch.com conducted a study in which researchers found that 60 to 75 percent of prostitutes reported being raped and 70 to 95 percent reported being physically assaulted.

Lopez said AFAC has long shared a property with the local APD substation, which already made many clients hesitant to go there.

AFAC also offers medical services, and some wonder if the new policy violates HIPPA or interferes with patient confidentiality, in addition to discriminating against those who may have a record but still need help, Lopez said.

“People who have violent histories, including warrants, arrests, and convictions, are not likely going to be violent or aggressive with people they are turning to for help,” said May Sagbakken, executive director at the Rape Crisis Center of Central New Mexico.

“What other medical facility in our community requires a background check?”

The intent of RCCCNM is to support the AFAC vision, mission and goals, she said. However, Sagbakken and others at RCCCNM are concerned that the required background check is a detriment to the original intent of AFAC. “The background check is also a violation of a core principle of Rape Crisis services, which is the victim’s right to confidentiality,” Sagbakken said. “Anything that might make a person feel less safe, more blamed or more uncertain will make them that much less likely to report the crime against them and make themselves available for evidence collection.”

The focus of AFAC is to decrease victim trauma and intimidation, she said.

Sagbakken and Lopez both understand the importance of collaboration between their organizations, AFAC and the APD. They feel that there is a solution that can work for everyone, and said that the end result is worth the effort.

“When I see a woman’s face when she first comes in and then I see that same (woman) when she walks out — she realizes she is not alone and she does have support. It’s amazing,” Lopez said. “It’s just really amazing.”

“It further validates the importance of the history of the African American community and its relevance to our students,” Carreathers said. “My office and I look forward to the continued Black History Month events as we strive to enlighten the UNM community.”

ASUNM President Rachel Williams recognized the importance of the resolution as it pertains to the pride UNM has in being distinctly diverse, with various cultures represented on campus.

“If you ask anyone what their favorite thing about the University is, they’re always going to say the diversity,” she said. “I think capitalizing on and recognizing the diversity in any way that we can — not just once or twice, or if we have two resolutions and we’ve met our quota for the year, but continuously.”

ASUNM Sen. Nadia Cabrera also said that

UNM’s unique level of cultural diversity is something to celebrate, but that it should be natural and instinctual.

“I support everything New Mexico does to celebrate our cultures, but if it takes a resolution to tell us that we need to do it more, I think we should really take that as a wake-up call.”

Sen. Mack Follingstad acknowledged that supporting Black History Month also means supporting society itself.

“This is a really great resolution because it isn’t just looking at black students and their accomplishments, it’s looking at society as a whole,” he said. “We can see how far we’ve come in regards to how we treat each other.”

that we’re not just important to Albuquerque: we have a statewide impact. We reach all the communities in the state,” Munoz said.

the undergraduate student governing body pledges to support Black History Month by “serving as a committed resource to our student organizations and encouraging increased awareness and participation at UNM,” the document states.

There will be several Black History Month events put on by UNM’s African American Student Services, including a screening of the film “Fruitvale Station” on Saturday and a lecture on identity and culture on Feb. 11. The full calendar of events can be found on the African American Student Services webpage, afro.unm.edu.

William Scott Carreathers, director of African American Student Services, said that the passing of the resolution is an outstanding representation by ASUNM of the students they serve.

confidentiality agreements for the presumed victim remain in effect,” the policy states.

Enlace provides its clients with a wide variety of services, including language classes, legal assistance and counseling, Lopez said.

For some of the services that Enlace can’t provide, they rely on the assistance of the AFAC “I think the Family Advocacy Center is a great idea because it’s a one-stop shop for services,” she said. “After people have experienced a sexual assault or domestic violence, that’s not what they’re thinking about: all the services they need. It’s nice to be able to bring them all together and provide referrals and everything right there.”

Ashley, whose name has been changed to protect her identity, said she thinks many people, not just immigrants, will be less likely to come forward about sexual assault because of this policy.

“Unless they are absolutely perfect, they will fear that they will not be believed. There is already such a stigma associated with being a victim of sexual assault that people choose to ignore it rather than to accept that it happened,” she said. “A rape kit after having been through an assault is already like being re-victimized. Why would you want to do that to someone?”

Caseworkers at Enlace make their clients aware of the background check done at AFAC and assure them that they will receive services even if they are undocumented or have an arrest record.

The criteria the background search looks for are: outstanding felony warrants, existing temporary restraining orders, prior charges for domestic violence, violent felonies and drug or weapons offenses, according to the policy.

But there is a catch. The document states, “APD will be made aware of the existence of any outstanding felony warrant by any visitor to the AFAC. APD will determine the best approach to addressing that situation.” This has caused even those with misdemeanor charges or late bill payments to be suspicious and hesitant to come forward, said Anahi Rincon, case manager at Enlace.

Rincon said a client called last Monday in need of a restraining order, but was worried about seeking services at AFAC because of some past-due bills and was “very afraid.”

One of the most at-risk groups for intimidation by the policy are prostitutes, due to their

Long-shooting Lobos shot down by Air Force

By Kyle Tomasi New Mexico has had trouble finding its identity this season, whether it be at the offensive or defensive ends. Wednesday’s loss at Air Force highlighted this.

UNM dropped a heartbreaker to the Air Force Falcons 53-49 after the Lobos couldn’t find their rhythm on the offensive side, hoisting up shots that they haven’t been known to hit this season.

The Lobos trailed the Falcons much of the first half and went into halftime down two after a corner 3-pointer by senior guard Deshawn Delaney at the buzzer. UNM attempted 13 3-pointers in the first half and connected on six of them.

“We got caught shooting 3-pointers in the first half,” head coach Craig Neal said. “I told them (at halftime), ‘Why are you going to settle for the first thing you get?’ We don’t shoot the ball well enough; it’s evident by our percentages (32 percent).”

The second half started to look a little different for the Lobos as they gathered eight points in the paint, four from the free throw line and only one 3-pointer.

The Lobos didn’t stick to the inside game very long. The next six possessions consisted of four 3-point shots and two turnovers.

The team finished 9-23 (39.1 percent) from behind the 3-point arc, which is slightly above their season average of 31.5 percent.

Delaney was the next leading scorer with 14 points and added five rebounds and three assists.

3-pointer that put them up 49-44.

The Falcons would end the game on a 9-0 run to down the Lobos.

“We can’t keep letting opportunities slip away like that,” Neal said.

The past two trips to Colorado Springs have not ended well for the Lobos. Two seasons ago they were defeated by a last-second 3-pointer

that gave the Falcons a one-point edge. Before these two contests, the Lobos had won 15 in a row at Clune Arena.

Due to the loss on Wednesday, the Lobos dropped into third place in a tightly contested Mountain West race. They are now two full games behind San Diego State and Wyoming.

The Falcons (10-12, 3-8 Mountain West) were led by Roswell High School graduate Marek Olesinski, who scored a game-high 18 points. He scored nine of the Falcons’ final 14 points.

The Lobos will return home to face the Utah State Aggies on Saturday at WisePies Arena. UNM defeated USU on Jan. 10 in Logan, Utah by a score of 66-60.

UNM was led by Greenwood, who scored 22 points and a career-high six 3-pointers. Junior center J.J. N’Ganga also had a very efficient game their last meeting, scoring eight points off the bench and snatching seven rebounds.

The Aggies (12-10, 5-5 Mountain West) are led by Jalen Moore who scored 22 points in the last outing against the Lobos. He is averaging 15.2 points per game and 7.1 rebounds per game on the season.

USU is 2-3 in Mountain West play on the road while the Lobos are 4-1 at home during conference play.

Inequality, crime are behind the New Mex-odus

By Jason Darensburg

People are leaving New Mexico in droves.

The evidence is irrefutable. The latest proof comes from a recent study released by moving company United Van Lines: the Land of Disenchantment ranked ninth on the annual list of “most moved from” states.

New Mexico was the only Southwestern state to show a high departure rate; Texas and Colorado were among the top 10 “moved to” states. Oregon won the prize for “most moved to” state, according to the study. South Carolina, Florida and Vermont were also popular places to move to.

Earlier this year Albuquerque Business First published “Gone for Good,” a series of articles featuring interviews with New Mexicans who had just left the state or were planning to leave. The most common complaints focused on high corporate taxes and the increasing crime rate in Albuquerque. But that’s only part of it.

New Mexico has some of the highest income inequality in the country — with some of the widest gaps between wealthy residents, the middle classes and those living in poverty. Inequality is one category in which New Mexico has consistently occupied the top spot. There are huge racial and ethnic disparities in employment and income here.

The last five years have seen an upsurge

in the use of food stamps and Medicaid in the state; welfare numbers have remained fairly constant.

New Mexico’s pathetic job market has a lot to do with these figures. Following four decades in the top 15 states for job growth, we’ve currently fallen to 48th. That’s a pretty damning indicator of how little the current regime cares about creating jobs. And the majority of workers in New Mexico get no holiday pay, no overtime, no sick pay or workers’ comp.

Albuquerque’s once-booming economy is now seriously lagging behind the national average, according to a presentation given last month by Lee A. Reynis, director of UNM’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research. Reynis is one of New Mexico’s leading economists.

“In the good years, growing employment masked many serious problems,” he explained.

These problems include the extremely high poverty levels in the state, low wages and low per-capita income. Reynis’ research showed that the number of part-time jobs as opposed to full-time employment virtually doubled from 2007-12. Albuquerque has lost thousands of full-time jobs over the past decade.

All of these factors contribute to growing inequality in New Mexico.

A similarly unequal trend is apparent with regard to education in the state. The gap

between the top and the bottom is huge: New Mexico ranks in the top five for population of Ph.D. holders, but in the bottom 10 for those with only a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Perhaps even more ominous is the fact that New Mexico relies heavily on the public sector for revenue — and ultimately on the increasingly unreliable and capricious federal government. The total share of jobs sustained by federal contracts is higher in New Mexico than any other state. Given the recent trend toward massive spending cuts, this is an untenable position.

To help alleviate this problem, Gov. Susana Martinez is promoting the odious ‘right to work’ agenda. She has spearheaded attacks against collective bargaining in the public sector, advancing legislation designed to prevent unions from collecting dues from the workers they represent.

Another reason people aren’t exactly flocking to Albuquerque may be the unremitting embarrassment and disgrace the police department has brought upon the city. Following a 16-month investigation, a Department of Justice investigation determined that Albuquerque Police Department officers routinely violated the Constitutional rights of citizens. The charges included unwarranted beatings, illegal use of tasers and unnecessary use of lethal force.

“Officers were not justified under federal law in using deadly force in the majority of

those incidents,” the report concluded.

The scathing 46-page report accused APD of deeply rooted leadership problems that led to the unconstitutional use of deadly force against residents: “… police officers shot and killed civilians who did not pose an imminent threat of serious bodily harm or death to the officers or others.”

Albuquerque District Attorney Kari Brandenburg recently announced she is pursuing criminal charges against two former cops for murder. The men will face first-degree murder charges for last year’s shooting of 38-year old James Boyd, a homeless man who was camping in the Sandias.

No one had been charged in connection with any of the city’s fatal shootings until Brandenburg sought the indictments. She has already received death threats for her trouble.

Most of the students I meet at UNM say they do not intend to stay in New Mexico after graduation, and that includes the natives. UNM is a bargain compared to other sizeable institutions, but there is no incentive for these kids to remain in the state once they receive their degrees. They can get much better pay for the same skills in neighboring states.

Who’s going to stop them?

Team hopes to contain Utah’s super-freshman

By Liam Cary-Eaves

The last time New Mexico faced off against Utah State, the squad didn’t know what to expect from a team going through significant changes.

On Jan. 10 the Lobos had to prepare for an Aggie squad that just lost two of its best players, forward Stephanie Bairstow and guard Makenlee Williams. This time around, UNM knows to key in on freshman standout Funda Nakkasoglu.

Nakkasoglu nearly willed her team to victory after dropping 29 points in a tight 60-59 game at WisePies Arena. However, a late turnover by the freshman guard demolished any chance of their leaving the Pit victorious.

“The biggest focus for us is that she can’t take the game over,” head coach Yvonne Sanchez said. “This kid kind of went off and had her coming out party against us. Now we know what she can do.”

Sanchez said her team may not necessarily be able to stop the freshman phenom completely, but the Lobos (11-10, 7-3 Mountain West) will have to contain her.

Nakkasoglu is an early favorite to

win the Mountain West Freshman Player of the Year. Her 15.8 points per contest is fifth-best in the Mountain West, and she averages 4.5 assists per game, which is good enough for third in the conference.

Redshirt senior guard Antiesha Brown said the Lobos will yet again rely on defense to contain the explosiveness of Nakkasoglu.

She said New Mexico will force Nakkasoglu to settle for tough jump shots in traffic and not behind the arc.

“We want to get her going to the basket,” Brown said. “That’s where all of our help is. We want to run her off the three-point line.”

Junior guard Bryce Owens said the Lobos aren’t bringing a completely new look defensively, but team defense is going to play a large role. She said she is pleased with the defensive play during the Lobos’ fourgame winning streak.

“I think we’re going to be a little bit more prepared this time around,” Owens said. “They’re going to come out with a lot of energy, and we have to match that energy.”

Sanchez said the one-point victory at home does nothing for the Lobos’ confidence going into Logan, Utah. However, she said the team’s

progress from the last time the Lobos encountered Utah State warrants heightened confidence.

However, Sanchez said Utah State (6-16, 3-7 MW) must have a feeling that it can knock down the numberthree team in the Mountain West, since the Aggies nearly pulled out a road victory less than a month ago.

The Lobos have matured into a solid running machine and have been able to run teams down with its bench.

“They’re going to be good and mad and they think they can beat us,” Sanchez said. “What makes us a really good team right now is our depth.”

The Lobos have won seven of their last eight games, including Wednesday’s dominating 69-46 blowout against Air Force (2-20, 1-10 MW). Owens said that the streak is nice, but the team is hungry for more.

“We’re happy that we got these wins, but we’re not satisfied,” Owens said. “We know we’ve got a tough road ahead of us.”

Strong players, preseason raise expectations

By Liam Cary-Eaves

New Mexico enters the start of the softball season with great confidence after an undefeated fall and three nominations for preseason AllConference players.

However, the Mountain West feels differently. The Lobos are projected to finish dead last in the conference this year following last year’s departure of four key starters.

“We did lose some big sticks, but I feel that we have kids that have stepped up,” head coach Erica Beach said at the softball media day press conference. “I feel we have more bats in the lineup that can get it done now and I’m very confident.”

The Lobos came out victorious in all six games the squad played together in the fall. The undefeated fall preview was the first time any

UNM softball team has accomplished such a feat.

Beach said the youth on the team is a major contributor to her assurance that this club is going to be much better than the team that finished eighth in the conference a year ago.

Freshman catcher Chelsea Johnson appears to be one of the bright young spots on a roster that is returning 12 players from a season ago. Johnson has been nominated by the Mountain West to win AllConference freshman of the year.

“I think it’s a challenge that I have to live up to what is expected of me,” Johnson said. “It’s exciting and I can’t wait to show the Mountain West what I am made of.”

Assistant coach Lyndsey Angus said she is confident the freshman is going to come up strong in her first

year. However, Angus said the game needs to come to Johnson instead of the other way around. She said the veteran pitching staff will help mold Johnson into a solid player.

“Chelsea is a freshman. You expect her, you recruit her to do all of these things, but she’s still young,” Angus said. “We know what she can do, but we don’t want to bog her with the expectations.”

UNM’s starting junior center fielder Mariah Rimmer has been elected to the Second Team AllConference club. Rimmer said it’s nice to be recognized, but she isn’t going to stress about the high expectations.

“I got chosen for the game I play.

Why change that?” Rimmer said.

“I’m going to continue to play the game I play.”

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

FOOTBALL

New recruits will improve UNM’s air game

Sa’von Rollison and Anu Somoye.

Hart-Johnson will only have three years of eligibility after having played one season at L.A. Valley College. The rest of group are incoming freshman and have four years of playing time.

“I think, on offense, what stands out most to me and what I’m excited to see is that we went out and signed four wide receivers,” head coach Bob Davie said. “As you guys know, we haven’t been

a particularly attractive place for receivers the first couple of years, or have we tried to be.”

Under Davie the Lobos have become known as one of the worst passing teams in the nation.

However, UNM did improve slightly with throwing the ball when Lamar Jordan stepped in at quarterback this past year.

Davie said the selling point to the wide receivers was that UNM is only going to improve in the passing game.

“I think, first of all, we have five quarterbacks now that all have the same skill set, to a degree,” he said.

“They can all throw the ball and will get better at throwing the ball.

We’re not going to change what we do, but we’re going to be more balanced at what we do.”

One of those quarterbacks is junior college transfer Austin Apodaca, the only signal-caller the Lobos signed on Wednesday.

Apodaca was originally recruited

by UNM in 2013 when Davie first arrived, but turned him down and went to Washington State.

Apodaca has two years of eligibility remaining after playing at WSU as a redshirt freshman and at Mesa Community College last season.

At Mesa Community College Apodaca completed 59.1 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards and 27 touchdowns with nine interceptions.

“We needed an older, mature player. From all early indications, he’s provided that,” Davie said.

“Just by putting his tapes on he’s really talented. It’s a very young, talented quarterback crew; he gives us some depth there.”

Overall, UNM signed 12 players on offense and 10 on defense.

The Lobos signed four offensive lineman, four wide receivers, two running backs, one tight end and one quarterback. On defense, UNM signed four linebackers, three defensive backs and three defensive linemen.

The Lobos signed just one player from the state of New Mexico, and that was defensive back Blair Manly from Cibola High School.

Of the 22 signees, nine of them

bases. She had a .970 fielding percentage and threw out four base runners that tested her left arm.

“You want to strive to do better than you did last year,” Heimburg said. “I guess there’s pressure in everything. I mean, it’s good pressure.”

Angus said that while having three Lobos being selected was delightful, she expects there to be

names added to that list when the awards come out.

Sophomore third baseman Jasmine Casados is one of the players Angus said to keep an eye on. As a freshman, Casados belted seven homers and walked 23 times, both team-highs. Angus said she expects Casados to be atop the UNM record books in homers before her tenure as a

Lobo is over.

Talk of expectations and projections may dwindle as the season starts for the Lobos today at 9 a.m. in the team’s first game of the season against Seattle U. The Kajikawa Classic will feature a double-header today and on Saturday before the fifth and final game on Sunday.

“We’re just looking forward to

Head coach Bob Davie congratulates wide receiver Marquis Bundy (81) after a touchdown a game in September. UNM now has 10 wide receivers on scholarship after signing four more during National Signing Day on Wednesday.

By Thomas Romero-Salas The triple option isn’t typically an offense that attracts wide receivers.

That changed on National Signing Day for New Mexico, as four of the Lobos’ 22 signees were wideouts. With the addition of the four newbies, UNM now has 10 wide receivers on scholarships.

The new targets that UNM acquired on Wednesday are: Q’ Drennan, Delane Hart-Johnson,

are junior college transfers. Four of those players have three years of eligibility left, while the other five have just two years to play at UNM. Running backs Daryl Chestnut and Richard McQuarley, along with offensive lineman Tevita Fonua and Apodaca, are already enrolled at UNM for the spring semester.

All of them will be participants in spring ball.

playing, seeing where we are, seeing where we’re going to stand,” Rimmer said. “We’re just hoping to go out there and get some ‘W’s.”

One left Davie said the Lobos still have one scholarship to offer, and that it will most likely be given to an endof-the-year junior college player.

UNM is one scholarship player short of the maximum number of 85 because cornerback Donnie Duncan was granted a fifth year of eligibility.

Davie also mentioned that some attrition could move up this year’s recruiting class to 25.

Gautsche at tight end In January Davie announced that former starting quarterback Cole Gautsche will move to tight end and that he will redshirt the 2015 season.

Davie said that unless anything unforeseen happens in the future, Gautsche will redshirt this season.

“Right now is to full-on redshirt.

He got robbed that first year,” Davie said. “He got thrown out there to get out of the hole. It’s good to get that redshirt year back.”

The Lobos’ starting right fielder has already collected a First Team Mountain West selection to her résumé. Senior Brandi Heimburg said the preseason nomination doesn’t change anything about what she is trying to accomplish this season.

The only senior outfielder led the team in runs scored last year and was a perfect 6-6 in stolen
