August 31, 2009 The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895monday
by Sara LoveDaily Lobo
NMSU was ranked more than 40 spaces higher than UNM in a re-cent report listing America’s best colleges.
� e Center for College A� ord-ability and Productivity ranked UNM No. 239 and NMSU No. 193 in its second-annual list published Aug. 5 in Forbes Magazine. Four thousand universities were consid-ered and 600 made it on the list, ac-cording to authors Richard Vedder and David Ewalt. A second Forbes list of America’s 100 best public schools had UNM at No. 38 and NMSU at No. 25.
“It’s great that both universities are on the list, but di� cult to pin-point the exact reasons behind the relative positions,” Provost Suzanne Ortega said in a statement. “� e im-portant point is that New Mexico students who want to stay in state for college can choose between good and good.”
In the list of public schools, the New Mexico Institute for Mining and Technology is ranked No. 40 and Fort Lewis College in Duran-go, Colo., is No. 41. In both lists, the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., is No. 1.
UNM rose 51 spots in CCAP’s ranking from last year. Ortega attri-butes the improvement to increased graduation rates.

A report published by an Ameri-can studies class attempts to strength-en relations between UNM and the city that surrounds it.
� e “Report on Community En-gagement and University of New Mexico Campus Development” was published Aug. 26 by instructor and Ph.D. candidate Andrew Marcum af-ter it was drafted in July by students taking part in a four-week course.
� e 82-page document examines the history of con� icts between the city of Albuquerque and UNM and features testimonials from members of nearby neighborhood associations. It also looks at how other universities have dealt with development within a community.
“One of the things we hear from neighbors is that UNM doesn’t re-spect the historical nature of their neighborhoods, oftentimes,” Mar-cum said. “� e neighbors value that deeply, and they wish the University would have the same sort of rever-ence for it.”
A resolution at the end of the re-port asking for improved representa-tion of neighborhood associations in University decision-making will be presented to the Board of Regents at their Sep. 23 meeting. GPSA passed the same resolution during an Aug. 30 committee meeting.
Danny Hernandez, chair of the Graduate and Professional Stu-dent Association Council, said the
University outranked by NMSU in Forbes list
Zach Gould / Daily LoboStudent Andrew Marcum, far left, asks Mayor Martin Chávez, far right, about University-community relations during a GPSA meeting Saturday at the Continuing Education Building. Marcum’s American studies class published a report on the topic Wednesday.
Town and gown must coordinate, report says
association passed the resolution be-cause its members often live near the University.
“Most of us live in the surround-ing neighborhoods, and the rela-tions between the University and those surrounding neighborhoods are strained,” Hernandez said. “What harms those neighborhoods actually harms the people living there.”
Roughly 100 copies of the report were published and several have been distributed to Mayor Martin Chávez, Vice President of Institutional Sup-port Services Steve Be� ort, Planning Director Mary Kenney and several neighborhood associations.
“Our goal with this report is re-ally to start thinking about ways to engage the community (and) build better partnerships with the com-munity,” Marcum said. “We see it as an opportunity to think through how we build better partnerships with the city and with the residents, so that we
don’t get described as an island unto ourselves.”
Chávez attended the Aug. 30 GPSA meeting, and Marcum asked about his vision for University-city relations.
“� e University is an island in the city,” Chávez said. “It’s not subject to the city’s zoning regulations or things of that nature. � ey don’t come to us for building codes. It’s state land … so it’s always a dance, if you will.”
Marcum said many community members share Chávez’s impression of UNM as an “island.”
“You heard the mayor say that UNM is (architecturally) turning its back on its neighbors. Well, I’ve heard that a dozen times from di� erent community groups,” Marcum said. “I heard the mayor also use the phrase, ‘an island unto itself,’ which is another thing I’ve heard in neighborhoods all across the city.”
Marcum referenced the recent failure of the Las Lomas-Redondo
parking structure — which the State Board of Finance opposed — as a rea-son for a collaborative relationship between the University and the city around it.
“By the time they brought (the structure plan) to the neighbors or the neighbors found out about it, it was too late to think it through in a way that met everybody’s interest,” he said. “I think that having that conver-sation collectively with students, fac-ulty, sta� and the residents is going to make the best possible chances come about.”
Hernandez also said the Univer-sity is dependent on the community that surrounds it.
“� e University can’t sustain it-self without the good will of the sur-rounding communities. Right now, it doesn’t have it,” he said. see Rankings page 3
After seven die, 911 caller chargedby Russ BynumAssociated Press
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — � e man who reported the gruesome slayings of seven people in a Georgia mobile home faces charges of lying to po-lice and tampering with evidence, and authorities said Sunday they haven’t ruled him out as a suspect in the killings.
� e killer was not among the dead, whose bodies were found Saturday, or the two critically in-jured, said Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering, who said police have not spoken to the two who are hospitalized.
Guy Heinze Jr., 22, was arrested late Saturday and also faces charges of illegal possession of prescription drugs and marijuana, said Doering.
“He was a family member who came home and discovered (the vic-tims), at least that’s what he told us,” Doering said.
When asked if Heinze was in-volved in the slayings, Doering said: “I’m not going to rule him out, but I’m not going to characterize him as a suspect.”
Police have not released the vic-tims’ names, but they have said that some were in their teens. � ey did not say how the victims died in the home on an old plantation, nestled among centuries-old, moss-draped oak trees in coastal southeast Geor-gia. Doering defended his vague statements about the case, saying he didn’t want the public to know details that might compromise what he called a “tedious” investigation.
“We just simply don’t have a lot to go on,” Doering said. “I’m not go-ing to tell people not to be cautious. Until we know exactly what hap-pened and who did it, that’s not go-ing to change.”
Mary Strickland, who owns � e Georgia Pig, a popular local barbe-cue place, said people have been buzzing about the killings and main-
ly want to know what happened.“I think a lot of people who live
in that area would feel a lot better if they had a little more information,” Strickland said. “If it is a murder-suicide, then let people know so they don’t think there’s some luna-tic out there. We got a lot of people who panic, and the more informa-tion you put out there, the better you make them feel.”
� e chief said police are certain they know what happened, but don’t know who committed the slayings or why, saying, “It’s not a scene that I would want anybody to see.”
� e Georgia Bureau of Investi-gation began conducting autopsies Sunday. GBI spokesman John Bank-head said results would be released by Glynn County police, and Doer-ing refused to comment, saying it could take two or three days for au-topsies to be completed.
Investigators spent a second day Sunday scouring for new evidence at the home, where an old boat sat in

Contrary to what was print-ed in Friday’s “Republican politi-cians help students register,” not all six candidates scheduled to at-tend came to campus. Candidate for governor Janice Arnold-Jones, con-gressional candidate Jon Barela and mayoral candidate Richard Berry had scheduling con� icts.
“We are pleased that Forbes rec-ognized UNM’s commitment to stu-dent success in their latest ranking,” she said. “We believe UNM’s leap from 290 in 2008 to 239 in 2009 is due to our dedicated faculty and our e� orts to improve graduation rates.”
Ortega said both schools had similar graduation rates. � e data compiled for individual schools was not available online.
Criteria for ranking were student evaluations, post-graduation suc-cess, student debt incurred and the percent of students and faculty who have received nationally competi-tive awards.
� e student evaluations were collected from RateMyProfessors.com. � e Web site has 1,381 profes-sors listed for UNM and 593 listed for NMSU. Ortega said the online resource is not a sure� re way to de-termine the attitude of the student body.
“It’s nice that the ranking consid-ers student evaluations, but since
RateMyProfessors.com is self-se-lected, it isn’t a scienti� c compari-son,” she said. “You wouldn’t know if more students are happy with their professors or more are report-ing their satisfaction. Rating well in such areas is a good sign, but not a precise measure.”
Richard Vedder and David Ewalt, the list’s authors, said in the intro-duction to the list on the Forbes Web site that the ranking is attuned to students’ needs.
“To our way of thinking, a good college is one that meets student needs,” according to the introduc-tion. “While some college rankings are based partly on school repu-tation, as evaluated by college ad-ministrators, and on the amount of money spent, we focus on things which directly concern incoming students.”
Junior Jameson Ray said UNM’s position on the list was not surprising.
“Instructors and the sta� are
de� nitely on students’ sides and try as best they can to meet the stu-dents’ needs,” he said. “� ere are still obvious changes that can still be made to the University as a whole, like dealing with the bureaucracy.”
CCAP’s criteria for the list of “America’s Best Colleges”
• 25 percent of the ratings is based on 4 million student evaluations of courses and instructors from the Web site RateMyProfessors.com.
• 25 percent is based on the post-graduation success of graduates, in-cluding enrollment-adjusted entries in Who’s Who in America.
• 20 percent is based on the debt incurred per student over four years.
• 30 percent is based on the num-ber of students or faculty, adjusted for enrollment, who have won na-tionally competitive awards like the Rhodes Scholarships or Nobel Prizes.

Editor,Pat Lohmann did a good job on the pro-
fessor/student apartment-fire story (“Pro-fessor and student ask for help after blaze,” Aug. 24). At the bottom of the first column, I was prepared to give something to someone to help somehow. However, when I got to Professor Charles Truxillo’s quote, all bets were off. “I appreciate it (the help from the University) tremendously, but it’s not really like the University administration is doing it.”
When someone makes a statement and then says, “but,” you can disregard every-thing before the “but.” Truxillo doesn’t real-ly appreciate it. He’s resentful. He then goes on to state he’s been teaching at UNM for three decades and tries to make a case that the University owes him something for an apartment fire on the other side of town.
I don’t know when we moved into this world of entitlements. I don’t know why Truxillo thinks the University should do anything for him. It provided him a job (probably a pretty well-paying job, by local standards) with which he could purchase renter’s insurance. People do it all the time.
When someone gets sick or hurt or is out on the street because of a fire, it’s nice if
people at work help, but it’s not their prob-lem. The problem lies with the individual who chose to roll the dice and not insure himself properly.
I do sympathize with the plight of both men, but the University is not a charitable donor. Truxillo should be truly grateful for anything the University did for him and move on to putting his own life back to-gether by his own devices, including buying renter’s insurance in the future.
No, I’m not an insurance salesman. I hate insurance as much as the next guy. It’s just a necessary evil today.

Editor,� ursday was Student Organization Day,
an annual event that is part of Welcome Back Days. College Republicans brought guberna-torial candidates Allen Weh and Doug Turn-er on campus to help register student vot-ers and to educate our peers about how the
Republican platform serves college students. Both candidates have demonstrated an inter-est in the student vote, regardless of students’ party a� liation.
Weh and Turner’s actions speak loudly — more loudly than campaign rhetoric. Too of-ten, youth are subject to empty promises dur-ing election cycles. Weh and Turner’s visit to UNM was more than symbolic; they showed a deep commitment to repairing the failings of the current University administration.
Patronage appointments are a misuse of taxpayer money, and they threaten the integ-rity of UNM. As a � agship University, UNM has a vital role in the future of this state. Con-sequently, politicians should be paying close attention to what’s going on at UNM. Weh and Turner are de� nitely paying very close attention.

In Friday’s Daily Lobo, Damian Garde ar-gued that Brett Favre is a misremembered symbol of the NFL’s past and that the Minne-sota Vikings made a mistake by signing him. Readers on DailyLobo.com started a spirited dialog about this idea.
YourBaldheadedGrannyPosted Friday“� is guy sings the praises of a dog murder-
er and trashes a Hall of Fame quarterback who took eight snaps in a preseason game. Hardly enough even to get warmed up. Not to men-tion, the o� ensive line was still asleep until the second quarter. Only a pothead would believe the Eagles will go anywhere.”
Other JimPosted Friday“Wow. Only simpletons can’t appreciate
the insight this column provides. You guys are too busy bringing others down because you can’t elevate to their level of genius. Great column.”
� is is a joke right?Posted Friday“You must be kidding me. Vick was going
to lose the starting quarterback job even be-fore all this dog-� ghting crap came out. Why, you ask? All the rushing yards don’t mean anything if you still lose the game at the end of the day.”
Michael PriebePosted Friday“First, this article is trying to evoke race rage
in a sports debate. Secondly, Michael Vick is an athlete, not a quarterback — if that’s what you are trying to say, the di� erence is between Vick and quarterbacks who can produce. By the way, the Vikings already have a Vick — his name is Tarvaris Jackson. � is whole column is garbage.”
Texas_kidPosted Friday“Most of the commenters on this post are a
bit too simple to understand this post. … � e game has evolved, and the slow pocket-pass-ers of yesterday are going away, at least on the teams that will continue to be successful. More importantly, the author has done a great job presenting the fact that Minnesota could have hired a franchise quarterback instead of one who is old, slappy and sick.”

grant made in 1763 to Henry Lau-rens, who in 1777 succeeded John Hancock as president of the Conti-nental Congress.
Laurens obtained control of the South Altamaha river lands and named it New Hope Plantation, ac-cording to the plantation’s Web site.
Lisa Vizcaino, who has lived at New Hope for three years, said the management works hard to keep troublemakers out of the mobile home park and that it tends to be quiet.
“New Hope isn’t run-down or trashy at all,” Vizcaino said Saturday. “It’s the kind of place where you can
actually leave your keys in the car and not worry about anything.”
Vizcaino said she didn’t know the victims and heard nothing un-usual when she woke up at 7 a.m. Saturday morning. After word of the slayings spread, she said, the park was quieter than usual.
“Everybody had pretty much stayed in their houses,” Vizcaino said. “Normally you would see kids outside, but everybody’s been pretty much on lockdown.”

MACKENZIE RIVER DELTA, Northwest Territories — Only a squawk from a sandhill crane broke the Arctic silence — and a low gur-gle of bubbles, a watery whisper of trouble repeated in countless spots around the polar world.
“On a calm day, you can see 20 or more ‘seeps’ out across this lake,” said Canadian researcher Rob Bowen, si-dling his small rubber boat up beside one of them. A tossed match would have set it ablaze.
“It’s essentially pure methane.”Pure methane, gas bubbling up
from underwater vents, escaping into northern skies, adds to the glob-al-warming gases accumulating in the atmosphere. And pure methane escaping in the massive amounts known to be locked in the Arctic per-mafrost and seabed would spell a cli-mate catastrophe.
Is such an unlocking under way?Researchers say air temperatures
here in northwest Canada, in Siberia and elsewhere in the Arctic have risen more than 2.5 C (4.5 F) since 1970 — much faster than the global average. The summer thaw is reaching deeper into frozen soil, at a rate of 4 centime-ters (1.5 inches) a year, and a further 7 C (13 F) temperature rise is possible this century, says the authoritative, U.N.- sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
In 2007, air monitors detected a rise in methane concentrations in the atmosphere, apparently from far northern sources. Russian research-ers in Siberia expressed alarm, warn-ing of a potential surge in the powerful greenhouse gas, additional warming of several degrees, and unpredictable consequences for Earth’s climate.
Others say massive seeps of meth-ane might take centuries. But the Rus-sian scenario is disturbing enough to have led six U.S. national laboratories last year to launch a joint investiga-tion of rapid methane release. And IPCC Chairman Rajendra Pachauri in July asked his scientific network to focus on “abrupt, irreversible climate change” from thawing permafrost.
The data will come from teams like one led by Scott Dallimore, who with Bowen and others pitched tents here on the remote, boggy fringe of North America, 2,200 kilometers (1,400 miles) from the North Pole, to learn more about seeps in the 25,000 lakes of this vast river delta.
A “puzzle,” Dallimore calls it.“Many factors are poorly stud-
ied, so we’re really doing frontier science here,” the Geological Sur-vey of Canada scientist said. “There is a very large storehouse of green-house gases within the permafrost, and if that storehouse of greenhouse gases is fluxing to the surface, that’s important to know. And it’s impor-tant to know if that flux will change with time.”

BANDELIER NATIONAL MON-UMENT, N.M. — With heavy packs and tired feet, Lucas Suina and Ra-mon Baros hiked miles through the backcountry’s scrub and pondero-sa pine. They started to wonder if they’d ever reach their destination.
Then, rounding a corner, Paint-ed Cave came into view.
High on the sandstone cliff was a gallery of red, black and white pictographs and handprints put there hundreds of years ago by the ancestors of the two American In-dian teenagers, who spent the sum-mer as interns at Bandelier Nation-al Monument.
“It’s pretty wild,” the 18-year-old Suina said. “If you went up there and touched them, you’d be touch-ing the same spot your ancestor was touching. It’s definitely spiritual.”
Suina and Baros were among a handful of teenagers from nearby pueblos who spent weeks explor-ing Bandelier’s backcountry and
educating visitors about the north-ern New Mexico monument as part of a new program funded by the National Park Foundation and its partners.
Nearly three dozen National Park Service sites used foundation grants to develop stronger bonds with surrounding communities.
The grants were inspired by film-maker Ken Burns’ new documenta-ry, “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.” The film centers on peo-ple from all walks of life who helped create and protect the parks.
“We wanted to create a grant program that helped bring that real diversity and connection back to the parks,” said Mark Shields, spokesman for the National Park Foundation.
Denali National Park and Pre-serve reached out to Alaska native youth for a digital storytelling proj-ect about their experience deep in the park’s backcountry.
Children from low-income families in Salem, Mass., learned about maritime history aboard a
schooner.Interior Secretary Ken Salazar
told The Associated Press the foun-dation’s $500,000 investment will help open a new world for many who might otherwise never visit a national park.
“These programs are vital if America is going to address the growing crisis in this country of children growing up indoors with little connection to nature and to our country’s rich historical and cultural heritage,” he said.
Bandelier hired five interns from the surrounding pueblos of Cochiti, San Ildefonso, Santo Do-mingo and Santa Clara.
The teens spent three weeks learning about Bandelier and the National Park Service, then began interacting with visitors.
Lynne Dominy, chief of inter-pretation at Bandelier, said she came up with the idea for the sum-mer program after hearing from tribal leaders who were concerned that pueblo youth had no connec-tion to their heritage.
Bandelier’s history dates back more than 10,000 years, when no-madic hunters roamed the area. More permanent settlements be-gan to pop up around 1150 A.D., but by 1550, Bandelier’s inhabit-ants moved from the sandstone cliffs to pueblos along the Rio Grande.
Besides educating visitors about bears and other wildlife, Dominy said the interns’ presence has “re-affirmed for park visitors that the pueblo people are still here and an important part of this heritage.”
Baros, a high school senior from San Ildefonso, said he hard-ly remembered Bandelier from the field trips he took as a young boy. But after three months, he discov-ered his roots.
“I feel like I’m at home, I’m close to my people,” he said. “I’m here working and it feels like I’m here working for them.”
In Alaska, eight students learned to collect sound and shoot video before heading into Denali’s wilderness.
They even interviewed Burns during his visit to Anchorage in June, said Christie Anastasia, co-ordinator of Denali’s science and learning center.
In camp, the students got a special visit from an elderly Atha-baskan couple who talked about their experiences growing up na-tive. The children also hiked to an archaeological dig where college students were uncovering arrow-heads and bone material.
“I don’t think anyone can have that kind of experience with a na-tional park and not have it change their life,” Anastasia said.
In Massachusetts, children from the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Salem learned to sail and heard stories about people who were in-volved in maritime trade during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Salem was once one of the na-tion’s most important ports, said Sheila Cooke-Kayser, chief of in-terpretation and education at the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

BOSTON — Sen. Edward Ken-nedy’s family fortune not only fueled his brothers’ presidential campaigns and his eight terms in the U.S. Senate. It also helped drive the family’s liber-al legacy and forge Kennedy’s lifelong crusade for universal health care.
Just how wealthy was Kennedy when he died Tuesday at the age of 77 after a yearlong battle with brain cancer?
Untangling a family fortune that reaches back to the early days of the past century is murky business, but the annual federal financial disclo-sure reports Kennedy was required to file provide at least a partial glimpse into his personal capital.
As a U.S. senator, Kennedy earned
a base salary of $165,200 a year, but that just skimmed the surface of his net worth.
On the most recent report in 2008, which includes his own assets and those of his wife and any depen-dents, Kennedy listed a string of pub-licly and non-publicly traded trusts and assets. Under the filing rules, Kennedy was only required to place the value of those assets within a range, rather than give an exact dol-lar amount.
The report placed the net worth of his publicly traded assets some-where between a low of $15 million and high of $72.6 million.
Just a year earlier, Kennedy re-ported somewhat rosier totals that placed his publicly traded assets somewhere between a low of $46.9 million and a high of $157 million.
Kennedy has other sources of in-come, including $1,995,833 in royal-ties he received from Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group, publishers of his mem-oir, “True Compass,” scheduled for release in mid-September. Part of the proceeds will go to charity, including the John F. Kennedy Presidential Li-brary and Museum.
Separate from his personal wealth was Kennedy’s federal campaign ac-count. As of the end of June, Kenne-dy reported more than $4.5 million in the account.
The main source of Kennedy’s wealth was his father and family patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy, who amassed a fortune in banking, real estate, liquor, films and Wall Street holdings that eventually grew to an estimated $500 million by the 1980s.
Kennedy’s wealth in tens of millions

by Tim ReynoldsThe Associated Press
MIAMI — Tim James apologized for being late. A rough day at work, said the Miami Heat’s 1999 first-round draft pick. Vehicles broke down, prob-lems flared up, and he simply fell behind.
“It happens,” James said. “Even here.”
Even on the front line of the Iraq war.
A former NBA player who often wondered about his true calling, Tim James is now a U.S. Army soldier, a transformation that even many of the people closest to him never saw coming.
“I got my degree, lived the life I was able, had my freedom and became a
professional athlete,” James said last week from Iraq. “I’m the example of the American dream.”
James is at Camp Speicher, the massive base near Tikrit, 85 miles north of Baghdad, not far from Sadd-am Hussein’s hometown. Here in-surgents are still a perpetual threat. For Miami Northwestern High, the Miami Hurricanes, three NBA teams and some foreign clubs, he was for-ward Tim James. For the Army, he’s Spc. Tim James of Task Force ODIN — short for Observe, Detect, Identify, Neutralize.
In layman’s terms, he’s part of the unit tasked with watching and catch-ing the bad guys before they plant bombs.
So long, charter jets, enormous paychecks and Ritz-Carlton hotel
stays.Hello, 130-degree afternoons, 12-
hour work days, $2,600 a month and 50-caliber machine guns.
“In life, we all have different de-sires and needs,” said Leonard Hamil-ton, James’ college coach and now the coach at Florida State. “With the pas-sion he has, he had to go fulfill this. I’m in total support of Tim and what he’s doing. He’s at peace. All we can do is hope he comes back safely.”
James is believed to be the first former NBA player to enlist and then serve in Iraq. Arizona Cardi-nals safety Pat Tillman quit football to become an Army Ranger and was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004.
“I have no doubts,” James said. “I have no regrets. Not one bit.”
assumptions aren’t based on any criteria other than our own subjec-tive notions of who ought to play a certain way.
What we all fail miserably to re-alize is that basketball is universal. There’s no “white” or “black” way to play it.
That’s why White Chocolate is the revolutionary prophet of the NBA, because he’s unlike any other player I’ve seen to date. He saunters down a fine line between racial bor-ders, rewriting the white basketball archetype Larry Bird created.
Playing with the flashiness and pizazz many people have reserved for African-Americans, yet main-taining his racial essence by launch-ing 3-pointers like J.J. Redick or un-selfishly dishing to teammates like John Stockton, J-Will is where the ‘hood and high fashion meet.’ He’s the GQ of basketball — a mixture of Rucker Park and the Naismith Hall of Fame.
Except he’s not. Or, rather, he shouldn’t be.
To understand what I’m getting at, you must understand the basketball origin myth – how the game was cre-ated by a naturalized American, James Naismith, but racialized over the last several decades because it’s been overwhelmingly dominated by Afri-can-Americans. Close to 75 percent of the league is African-American.
Thus, people thought, and still think, that in order to break into the so-called Nothing but Brothers Asso-ciation, players must mirror the Afri-can-American style of play — if they have a style — especially if the play-ers are white. And then Bird arrived on the NBA scene and gave Cauca-sians the Great White Hope. Dennis Rodman and Isiah Thomas grumbled about inverse tokenism, Rodman call-ing Bird “very overrated” and Thom-as saying that the Birdman received MVPs at an alarming rate because of the pigmentation of his skin, sparking outrage from white folks.
“I think Larry is a very, very good
George Skene / AP PhotoJason Williams, a.k.a. White Chocolate, has always been flashy. And for that reason, many people believe he plays “black.” Truthfully, there’s only one way to play basketball, and it has nothing to do with race.
Williams from PAge 12
basketball player,” Thomas once said. “He’s an exceptional talent. But I have to agree with Rodman. If he were black, he’d be just another good guy.”
Somewhere along the way, the Bird legend grew. Broadcasters, fans and coaches gushed about his pas-sion for the game after Bird said he would “play for free.” They gave speeches about his unparalleled abil-ity to anticipate plays to the point that he was nicknamed “Kodak” by Bill Fitch. Much was made of his leader-ship, his basketball IQ and the way the silk wove itself into a net because of Bird’s uncanny shooting ability. Thus, out of all this praise, another diction-ary of sports clichés was born — and another “style” of play, somewhat void of flavor and athleticism.
Basketball purists called it funda-mentals, and Bird was grounded in the basics of the game. But now we know what that really means. Bird embod-ied everything “polished” about the game, everything “white” about bas-ketball. While his African-American
counterparts had “raw talent” and were “athletic,” Bird was exactly the opposite. Or so it was said.
Fast forward to now. J-Will has spent a year out of the
league helping nurse his wife back to health after a complicated pregnancy, and he again has an opportunity to banish this niche system in place in the NBA. The fact that he signed with the Orlando Magic, considered the an-ti-African-American team of the NBA since all they do is bomb 3-pointers, is great. He’ll be teamed up with Vince Carter and Dwight Howard.
When you watch him play, keep this in mind. Understand that just because White Chocolate unleash-es an array of behind-the-back pass-es doesn’t mean he plays “black,” and just because he lurks behind the 3-point line, doesn’t mean he plays “white.”
No, White Chocolate symbolizes something greater.
He’s simply an athlete playing an undiscriminatory game.

left-footed shot in the 29th minute. His second goal was a 35-yard chip over the goalkeeper three minutes into the second half.
Junior Dominique Romero scored in the 76th minute with an-other long-range chip to make it 3-0.
Even the freshmen got in the mix.
Lawrence Robledo finished off the Thunderwolves with his first goal for UNM, scored off a break-away in the 87th minute, to close out the game 4-0. Players like Rob-ledo, sophomore Lance Rozeboom and freshman Patrick Pacheco will provide much-needed depth
coming off the bench. More than anything, the Lobos
will rely on seniority to guide them through the season, Fishbein said. The longtime head coach said he will vary the Lobos’ attack with numerous options up front. The Lobos return six juniors and five seniors, including offensive threats Davis and P.J. Wilson.
Anchoring the team’s defense will be seniors Stephen Brown and Simon Ejdemyr. Euan Hold-en and Michael Reed will both be midfielders.
“We have six or seven starting seniors this year, which will give us some valuable experience that we
need and can take us far into the season,” Wilson said.
Davis, who started Thursday’s game playing left wing before slid-ing up to the forward position, added that many of the Lobo play-ers are versatile.
“There are four of us who are going to be rotating around the different offensive positions this season,” he said.
While the Lobos have many vi-able pieces on the field, Fishbein said UNM needs crowd support to have a successful campaign.
“We really need all our fans to come out and support us at our home opener,” he said.
a 2-1 set lead and a 21-20 advan-tage behind the dominant hitting of Whitney Phillips, who � nished with a game-high 25 kills. But UNM rallied late in the fourth, thanks to crucial hitting and serving errors by Portland State and key blocks from Had� eld and sophomore middle Ashley Rhoades, to force a � fth set.
In the deciding game of the match, the Lobos and Vikings played even to 12-12, until Lehne and Morris rallied for kills to put the nail in Portland State’s co� n.
Lehne � nished the match with a team-high 17 kills, while Morris added 11.
“We showed what we can do in close situations,” Lehne said. “It was nerve-racking, but our team
has the ability to dig in and give it that little bit extra to win.”
During the championship match, UNM and UC Santa Barba-ra battled evenly to two sets apiece. � e Gauchos looked like they were on their way to the champi-onship, taking an 11-8 lead in the � fth game. But the Lobos weren’t willing to give up their title hopes, putting together a 6-1 run to lead 14-12. After a Santa Barbara kill, Rhoades blocked Gauchos ace Re-becca Saraceno on match point to clinch the title.
“After Ashley came up with that block, there was so much emotion,” sophomore libero Allison Buck said. “She fell to her knees, and the whole team piled on top of her. It
was a great way to win.”Buck led the Lobos defense with
51 digs on the weekend. Junior set-ter Jade Michaelsen had 108 assists to bring her career total to 2,036, surpassing all-American Pauline Manser to crack the top 10 on the UNM career-assists list. For their e� orts, Buck and Michaelsen were named to the all-tournament team. Lehne earned the tournament’s Most Valuable Player honor.
“It was de� nitely a team win,” Michaelsen said. “Our o� ense is doing great right now, and every-one is hitting really well and doing their part. I feel like I can give the ball to anyone, and they’ll get the job done.”

UNM men’s soccer head coach Jeremy Fishbein is cautiously op-timistic about the upcoming 2009
season.After losing
their footing last year, the Lobos are trying to re-claim their spot
atop the Mountain Paci� c Sports Federation. Last season, for the � rst time in four years, UNM didn’t � n-ish in � rst place in the MPSF, com-ing in second to the University of Denver.
� e Lobos begin their comeback quest Tuesday at St. Louis, then re-turn to Albuquerque to play their home opener against San Francisco on Saturday.
Other tough home games for UNM include visits from UC Da-vis, Gonzaga and UC Irvine, a team Fishbein said will be a challenge for the Lobos.
Fishbein said he isn’t as wor-ried about how the Lobos will play at home as he is about how they will fare on the road.

Basketball styles not so black and white

� e NBA needs more White Chocolate.
Jason Williams, even though he’s not as big a household name, is more of an ambassador for the league than Michael Jordan or Lar-ry Bird. Williams is bridging the gap between how we look at bas-ketball and how we should look at basketball.
Since the dawn of those “Like Mike” commercials in the early 90s, basketball has become the only sport in which everybody, regard-less of color, thinks they’re Michael, Magic and Bird all rolled into one.
But for some reason, we continue to conceptualize basketball in terms of color. We constantly assign par-ticular players to racial categories based on how they play. For exam-ple, take Ray Allen. Allen has been, and will always be, a sharp-shooting guard. And for that reason, we say that he plays “white.” Subconscious-ly, we’ve accepted this niche system, a system that says African-American players are � ashy and dunk, while white players are plain and shoot. Logically, though, this doesn’t hold up, because these widely held

Dame, Stanford and California. Fishbein said having senior lead-
ership this season will help make things less stressful.
“We need to play with energy and consistency, and with all of the lead-ership we have, this could be a really good season for us,” Fishbein said.
If the regular season shakes out anything like the Lobos’ pre-season, UNM stands a good chance to reclaim the No. 1 spot in the conference and make the NCAA Tournament.
With � ursday’s 4-0 win over the CSU-Pueblo � underwolves, the Lobos concluded their preseason with a 3-0 mark. � eir most impres-sive win came against No. 12 Tulsa last weekend. � at win has Fishbein
stoked about the Lobos’ chances this year.
“We have a high team spirit with a lot of great leadership, something we were missing in the past few sea-sons,” Fishbein said after the Lobos defeated the � underwolves.
After a sluggish opening 20 min-utes — and a 64-minute lightning delay — UNM came out charged.
� e few fans who battled through the weather saw the Lobos turn in a dominating performance. � ey con-trolled every statistical category and outshot the � underwolves 23-6, but Fishbein said UNM should have scored more.
“We had a few chances before the delay that we should have � nished, but I was impressed by the way we
came back out,” Fishbein said. “It’s always good to score four goals in a game and to get everyone some playing time. We can really learn some lessons in games like this.”
Nine minutes after the re-start, senior Justin Davis got the Lobos started, scoring on a superb
heavy hitting of junior middle Tay-lor Had� eld, who notched 10 kills for the Lobos in the opener. Se-nior middle Anna Lehne and junior
outside hitter Lisa Meeter each add-ed seven.
“O� ensively, we have so many hitters who can step in and play,”
Lehne said. “It balances our o� ense and keeps the opposing team guess-ing, because we’re going to a di� er-ent player each time.”
