UNM professor Shaung Luan has received the � rst-ever Qforma Lec-tureship award for making techno-logical advances in radiology treat-ment that reduce the amount of time cancer patients spend in the hospital.

Luan, an assistant professor of radiology and computer science, assisted in the development of two software programs to improve lin-ear-accelerator-based cancer treat-ment, minimizing patient time in radiology machines.

Luan was not available for com-ment last week, but in a statement

on the UNM School of Engineering Web site, Luan said that though his work is di� cult, it’s also ful� lling.

“I’ll never forget the � rst day they used my algorithm to treat pa-tients,” he said. “I was nervous, but it worked. � at’s when I decided to make it the focus of my career.”

Luan said his innovations have reduced the amount of time it takes to treat tumors using radiation.

“Treatment time can be as much as 80 percent shorter,” he said. “We can deliver a higher dose of radia-tion to the tumor and less to sur-rounding structures.”

According to the Qforma Web site, the company provides predic-tive modeling technologies for the

health sciences industry. Computer Science Department

Chairwoman Stephanie Forrest said Luan’s award has bene� tted her en-tire department.

“We are very thrilled to have this award in the department,” Forrest said. “We are happy that he received it and we are grateful to Qforma for sponsoring it.”

Qforma Chief Scienti� c O� cer Roger Jones said that in selecting the recipient for the $5,000 lecture-ship award, the company looks for candidates who display promise in their own research and in motivat-ing computer science students.

SANTA FE — Gov. Bill Richard-son on Saturday proposed a 1.5 per-cent cut in education spending as New Mexico lawmakers decide how to back� ll a $650 million hole in this year’s state budget during a special legislative session.

� e proposal to cut public schools and colleges by at least $40 million was a turnabout for the gov-ernor, who had previously said he didn’t want to touch education. He said the revision re� ected the state’s “new budget realities.”

Just weeks ago, the revenue shortfall was thought to be $400 million for the � scal year that be-gan July 1, but the number has since been revised upward.

“Cuts must include safeguards that classrooms, kids and teach-ers will not be a� ected,” Richard-son said in a statement. He did not elaborate, but a spokeswoman in his o� ce said later that adminis-trative costs were one example of

possible cuts. � e special legislative session

that began Saturday promises to turn into a pitched battle over how to balance this year’s $5.5 billion budget.

“It’s going to be ugly, any way we go … the problem is of such a large magnitude,” said Senate Finance Chairman John Arthur Smith, a Democrat from Deming.

� e education community said even a 1.5 percent cut was unac-ceptable. Teachers, administrators, parents and school-board mem-bers packed the Senate and House galleries, and youngsters toting red balloons marched around the Capi-tol yelling, “Don’t cut education.”

“� ey absolutely have to listen to this, or their heads are in the sand,” said Christine Trujillo, president of the American Federation of Teach-ers-New Mexico.

Richardson made it clear in his o� cial proclamation for the session that he doesn’t want lawmakers to

Violence bloodies Rio slums as Olympic plans move aheadby Flora Charner

The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — At least 2,000 police o� cers patrolled this coastal city Sunday, and Brazilian o� cials pledged to host a violence-free 2016 Olympics despite bloody drug-gang shoot-outs that left 14 people dead.

An hours-long � re� ght between rival gangs Saturday in one of the city’s slums killed at least 12 people, injured six and saw a police helicop-ter shot down and eight buses set on � re.

Police said Sunday that they killed two other suspected drug

tra� ckers in overnight clashes near the Morro dos Macacos (“Monkey Hill”) slum where the gangs fought for territory a day earlier. But the area was largely peaceful.

Two o� cers died and four were injured Saturday when bullets from the gang battle ripped into their he-licopter hovering overhead, forcing it into a � ery crash landing on a soc-cer � eld. O� cials said they did not know if the gangs targeted the heli-copter or it was hit by stray bullets.

Gun� re on the ground killed 10 suspected gunmen and wounded two bystanders.

Authorities said the violence only

toughened their resolve to improve security ahead of the Olympics and before 2014, when Brazil will host the World Cup soccer tournament with key games in Rio, the country’s second-biggest city.

Rio state Public Safety Director Jose Beltrame told reporters that the violence was limited to a speci� c area of the city of 6 million and “is not a problem throughout all of Rio de Janeiro.”

He said authorities will follow through with promised e� orts to re-duce crime.

“We proved to the Olympic Committee that we have plans and

proposals for Rio de Janeiro,” Bel-trame said. “We proved that our cur-rent policy not only consists of going into battle; it also consists of keep-ing the peace.”

Rio state Gov. Sergio Cabral said earlier that the city’s security chal-lenges can’t be cured “by magic in the short term.” But money is be-ing poured into programs to reduce crime, and authorities are prepared to mount an overwhelming security presence at the sporting events to ensure safety, he said.

Saturday’s � ghting raged about � ve miles southwest of one of the zones where Rio’s 2016 Olympics

will be held.It was on Oct. 2 that the city was

chosen over Chicago, Madrid and Tokyo to host the games. Rio alone among the bid cities was highlight-ed for questions about security ahead of the vote by the Internation-al Olympic Committee.

Rio is one of the world’s most dan-gerous cities. Although violence is mostly contained within its sprawl-ing shantytowns, it sometimes spills into posh beach neighborhoods and periodically shuts down a highway linking the international airport to

tourist destinations.Brazilian President Luiz Iná-

cio Lula da Silva has played down the threat of violence for the Olym-pics, saying Rio has repeatedly dem-onstrated it can put on big events without risks to participants. The

Pan-American Games in 2007 were held without major incidents after authorities deployed 15,000 specially trained officers.

More lasting change is needed now to protect Rio’s citizens, said 83-year-old Maria Jose Gonzaga,

who awoke to gunfire Saturday near the violence zone and cowered at home for hours until it finally ended.

“As soon as Saturday began, they started shooting at each other,” Gon-zaga said. “It was very intense, very awful indeed.”

promising, high-quality untenured professors that will both enhance the reputation of the University and inspire and motivate UNM comput-er science students to become first-rate developers,” he said.

A committee of senior faculty nominated Luan for the award, Jones said.

Forrest said Luan deserved to win because of his actions as a depart-ment member and as a technology developer.

“He is a totally dedicated profes-sor — dedicated to his research and a wonderful teacher,” she said. “He is very generous in department service.”

Forrest said Luan’s computer-generated innovations in the radiol-ogy field have significantly reduced the amount of time patients spend in hospitals.

“He has contributed to radiology by developing computerized algo-rithms that demonstrably improve patient care,” she said. “His algorithms

are reducing the amount of time that people have to spend inside the ma-chines being treated.”

The monetary component of the lectureship award is not allocated for anything specific, but it improves the department’s reputation overall, Jones said.

“We hope that the recognition and award will enhance the recipi-ent’s ability to attract good students to his or her research program,” Jones said. “We also hope that the award will help attract other high-quality ju-nior faculty to the computer science department”

Luan credited departmental col-laboration for its role in his success.

“You need committed collabora-tors in medicine and the background in the theory of computer science to design algorithms to solve these problems,” Luan said. “We have both here at UNM. And our department makes interdisciplinary research a priority.”

consider tax changes, which he said would have little effect on the cur-rent budget year.

That issue can wait until the reg-ular legislative session in January, he said. Legislative leaders have agreed with that position, but some lawmakers are pushing ahead any-way with tax proposals.

They introduced a flurry of bills that included raising taxes on to-bacco and alcohol and hiking in-come taxes for the state’s wealthiest residents. A fight was looming over whether the Legislature has the au-thority to consider tax increases in light of the governor’s edict in the proclamation that legislation to fix the budget problem “shall not in-clude” tax measures.

Some senators who favor tax

hikes suggested he had overstepped his authority in telling lawmakers what not to do. Majority Leader Mi-chael Sanchez, D-Belen, said the Senate was reviewing the limita-tions set by the governor to deter-mine whether they left the Legisla-ture enough leeway to “carry out its constitutional duty” to address the budget issues.

The proposed 1.5 percent edu-cation cut was part of a broader set of proposals from the governor that also included cutting agency spend-ing by 3.5 percent but avoided lay-offs and furloughs.

Ava White, a 16-year-old junior at Highland High School in Albu-querque, said she was concerned that cutting school budgets would result in larger classes.

She said students already are crowded together at tables and sharing books.

“It’s really hard to learn when somebody’s breathing down your neck,” she said.

Editor,Reading between the lines on the “ami-

cable” settlement of the Sylvia Lopez sexu-al harassment case against coach Locksley: I’m pretty sure what it means is that Ms. Lo-pez gets her UNM job back and, I hope, a big hunk of money in exchange for withdrawing her Equal Employment Opportunity Commis-sion claim and making the public statement as reported in the article in the Daily Lobo — all of course while promising not to ever say anything against Locksley again. Although the Lobo says she “recanted her previous position”

in the University-issued statement, this prob-ably means that she withdrew her complaint, not that she said that Locksley didn’t say what he said and do what he did. Most likely, Ms. Lopez was pressured to settle this case by the administration and by the fear of being unem-ployed in a bad job market with no job refer-ence. I support her and sympathize with her being pitted against such formidable forces, and I hope she got a big payment.

� e payment could have come from the winning bonuses that coach Locksley doesn’t get yet this season. A 0-6 win-loss record and no chance of playo� s must be saving the Uni-versity a lot of money. Maybe the administra-tion and the Athletics Department could save a lot more money by charging the coaches an amount similar to the win bonus when they lose.

Also, could the Daily Lobo publish the com-plete “University-issued statement” con-cerning the Lopez settlement or the Web address? I could not � nd it anywhere on the University’s Web site and, needless to say, nothing about it was mentioned in the never-informative “President Schmid-ly’s Monday-morning message” this week.Next, let’s see what the administration says about a “settlement” in the case of Locksley’s al-leged punch in the mouth to his assistant coach.

Marjorie CrowUNM sta�

Editor’s note: � e complete University-issued statement can be found attached to this letter online at www.dailylobo.com.

Editor,Adam R. Burnett’s article, “Sukkot makes

joyful noise,” in the Oct. 12 issue, contained a number of factual errors and mislead-ing statements that deserve clari� cation.First, Sukkot is a Jewish Holiday that has been celebrated continuously and joyfully by the mainstream Jewish community for thou-sands of years. � e celebration portrayed in Burnett‘s article bears little resemblance to Sukkot as practiced in such communities.Second, Sukkot is a weeklong holiday which oc-curs during the fall on the 15th day of Tishrei in the Jewish calendar, following the Jewish high

holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.� e celebration as covered in the Daily Lobo is a Christian interpretation of an unarguably Jewish celebration. Although Dennis Otero may refer to himself as “rabbi,” this is an inap-propriate designation for a Christian religious leader. Moreover, belief in Yeshua as the Mes-siah, as Dennis Otero asserts, is antithetical to the core practice and philosophy of Judaism.Contrary to what is stated in the arti-cle, the festival of Sukkot is widely and publicly celebrated in Jewish commu-nities across the state of New Mexico.It is bewildering to us that the Daily Lobo chose to incorrectly and inappropriately showcase a private religious celebration in the daily pa-per of the state’s largest public university. Moreover, one would expect that the reporter and editor would recognize the controversial

nature of this celebration, and seek comment from at least one congregation or leader from New Mexico’s Jewish community.

Editor,UNM’s decision to suspend head football

coach Mike Locksley for 10 days amounts to nothing more than a slap on the wrist and serves as yet another illustration of the lengths those in power will go to in order to protect themselves and each other from the inconveniences of personal responsibility.Locksley publicly acknowledged becoming involved in a “physical altercation” with one of his assistant coaches following the Lobos’ loss to Air Force last month, citing the pressures of

his job as the cause of his otherwise “inexcus-able” actions. In a recent press conference, Athletics Director Paul Krebs asserted that no one witnessed Locksley’s admitted indiscre-tion — as if surveillance alone should govern one’s actions, as if the questions surrounding this incident had only to do with innocence, guilt and “hard” evidence and nothing to do with competence, character or leadership.A head football coach making $750,000 a year who lacks the modicum of self-restraint and discipline required to avoid getting into what he himself calls a physical altercation with a subordinate is manifestly un� t for the job, and a 10-day suspension will not change that.

Past and present administrators and

coaches have publicly bemoaned UNM’s “lack of school spirit.” But how are we to take pride in an institution that does not de-mand a higher standard from those it plac-es in positions of prominence? Locksley’s actions are a national disgrace that would have cost any of us our jobs and probably resulted in assault charges. Yet the Univer-sity apparently feels it is more important to defend the image of its power than to do the right thing and � re Locksley. Admin-istrators insist they have handled the inci-dent appropriately, but UNM’s students and the people of New Mexico deserve better.

HomecomingThe Royal Candidates

The Kings of 2009

by Hunter Riley and Chris Quintana

Daily Lobo

UNM Homecoming is a time to celebrate fall, football and the

crowning of a new king and queen. Royal candidates are nominated by student organizations, with the win-ners announced at the Homecom-ing game on Saturday. The king and queen then attend a UNM Alumni

Association breakfast as represen-tatives of the student body. The Dai-ly Lobo asked all contestants to say something about themselves and why they wanted to run for Home-coming king or queen.

Matt Callahan, Senior, Finance

“I’ll talk on campus. I like to par-ty. I’ll go to house parties and stuff and I’ll meet everyone while get-ting my name out there.”

Travis Maestas, Senior, Economics

“To me, Homecoming in high school and in college are some-what similar. I feel that in both cases, Homecoming brings about the school/team spirit in everyone, but in college, I believe that Home-coming takes things a bit further by incorporating the alumni. It is as though Homecoming is a show-case of UNM to the entire commu-nity.”

Ivan Miller, Senior, Vocal Performance

“I think Homecoming is just a great way to represent an out-standing student body. It kind of does come down to a popularity contest sometimes, but I would love to be able to represent my University in this honored posi-tion. I really enjoyed getting in-volved with UNM, and I loved ev-erything about it.”

Ryan “Panda” Thibeaux, Freshman, Criminology

“I am a random individual talk-ing to random people. I don’t live on campus so I don’t know many peo-ple, so I am just putting my name out there. I know more people than peo-ple who live on campus. It’s funny.”

Joseph Colbert, Senior, Sociology

“I decided to run for Homecom-ing king because I wanted to make it a more diverse field in terms of peo-ple who are running. Normally it’s people from sororities and fraterni-ties that are running … One of my first jobs was working for Keep Rio Rancho Beautiful, and that was a re-ally good experience, because it was outside and I was cleaning up ille-gal dump sites and educating young people on how to recycle.”

Jorge Jimenez, Sophomore, Finance

“I’m actually very dorky and klutzy. My freshman year, I re-member I was talking on the phone with one of my roommates, and then I was walking up the steps of Smith Plaza, and I liter-ally just fell flat on my face in front of everyone. Nobody laughed or anything, but I’m sure people saw me. I was laughing at myself. I’m a really fun, loving guy and school spirit is really important to me. You should take pride in the es-tablishment you are in.”

The Queens of 2009

Josh Weber, Junior, Communications

“I’m a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and an avid player of in-tramural sports. I’m running for Homecoming this year to get more involved in the school that I love and to experience the full spectrum of what UNM has to offer.”

Shauma Brown, Senior, Spanish and Sign

Language

“I really believe Homecoming should be a representation of the student body. I think there should be a change of pace, someone of color — let’s not lie — winning or running. There isn’t usually a lot of diversity in the Homecoming candidates … I really think there needs to be more diversity when people run, and I hope to set an example for that.”

Jose Villar, Senior, Business

“I think Homecoming is a representa-tion, to the alumni, of students who are involved with their Universities and give back. I do possess those qualities, so I think I would represent that title well, and it’s just good to give back to the Uni-versity that has given you so much.”

Sevy Gurule, Senior, Biology and

Sign Language Interpretation

“I have a strong academic cri-terion. I feel I can represent the Lobos through the various as-pects of college. … Since I’m a senior I thought this was my last opportunity and I would take ad-vantage of everything.”

Michelle Baumann, Junior, Communications

“I’m in a local band that plays around Albuquerque — it’s called The Noms. It’s acoustic folk music. I’m a guitar player and our vocal-ist. We’ve only been together for five or six months, so we’re new, but we’re having a good time.”

Kara Komula, Freshman, Nursing

“I want to get more involved in the school, so I thought this could be a great way to do it. I would be a good representative, I feel. I know how to manage my time and I would be a good role model. … It doesn’t really matter what age you are (to run). What matters is what you are willing to do. I am willing to do the best I can for the title.”

Lin Mazor, Senior, Political Science

“For me it all started with my sorority (Pi Beta Phi). Through-out my four years at UNM it has been my foundation. For me it was watching the older girls and everything they did outside of the sorority and their accom-plishments. I wanted to do the same sort of thing.”

Caiti Neice, Senior, Communications

“In high school, I lived in Ita-ly in a town of 700 people. Going from here to 700 people was quite a bit of culture shock. I think that I’m a lot more cultured now, and because I’ve experienced a dif-ferent culture and a different lan-guage, I can understand the world a little bit better.”

Adriana Romero, Senior, Elementary

Education

“The reason why I really want-ed to run was to take away from that traditional stereotype of what Homecoming queens are. (Be-ing Homecoming king or queen) is more a representation of UNM. As king and queen you attend a couple breakfasts and that kind of thing. Your student body is elect-ing you to be the face of UNM.”

Chelsea Stallings, Junior, English

“I am an ASUNM senator. In ASUNM we do a lot of substan-tial things. I think a lot of people think we don’t have anything to do, but I think we are making a difference. It’s a good experience to learn; it’s a good experience to be involved with a campaign.”

Melissa Marquez (Senior, Biology), Jill Knies (Sophomore, Com-munications) and Kelly McCabe (Junior, University Studies) are also running for Homecoming queen but were not available for an interview.

Homecoming marked by alumni public service

by Tricia RemarkDaily Lobo

UNM alumni have donated their time, money and cooking skills to kick off community service projects for Homecoming week.

On Oct. 9, members of the UNM Alumni Homecoming Committee made dinner for more than 70 resi-dents at the Albuquerque branch of national nonprofit Ronald McDon-ald House. RMDH gives families a place to live if their children require an extended hospital stay. Estab-lished in 1982, the local RMDH is on north campus, within walking dis-tance of UNM Hospital.

Roberta Ricci, vice president of alumni relations, said 12 members of the committee volunteered as guest chefs for a night at RMDH.

“I was trying to find a civic en-gagement project that tied into ei-ther education or the University,” Ricci said. “Since the Ronald Mc-Donald House is very tied to Univer-sity Hospital, I thought it was just a perfect fit for the community here.”

Ricci said the committee spent about two hours cooking a tradi-tional New Mexican dinner.

“The Alumni Homecoming Com-mittee met over at the Ronald Mc-Donald House, and we were their guest chefs for the evening,” Ricci said. “We cooked red and green en-chiladas, beans, Spanish rice, des-erts and tortillas for the families.”

Ricci said committee members were given grocery lists and pur-chased all ingredients out of their own pockets.

Brad Hutchins, committee mem-ber and UNM athletics market-ing officer, said he enjoyed making

dinner for RMDH residents and wants to do it again next year.

“I think any time you have the opportunity to help someone else, you should take advantage of that,” Hutchins said. “Often you get on a committee and just plan events for Homecoming week. It’s nice to think outside the box and also help some folks in the community.”

Ricci said the committee orga-nized two other projects that will benefit the local RMDH. Residents are always in need of home-cooked meals, Ricci said, and the commit-tee is asking for casserole donations throughout the week.

“For Homecoming, starting on Monday, we’re collecting casseroles for the Casserole Angel Program,” Ricci said. “When families come back to the RMDH and they don’t have a guest chef, they can just pop a casserole in the oven. They also use the casseroles to send with the families when they go back home so

Homecoming week has arrived, filled with festivities for the UNM community.

The celebration will kick off Tuesday with a department-deco-rating contest. In accord with this year’s Homecoming theme, “Lobo Knights,” UNM’s various depart-ments will include coats of arms in the decorations.

The Medieval Studies Student Association will show two films dur-ing Homecoming week, “Kingdom of Heaven” and “Beowulf: Prince of the Geats,” said Marisa Sikes, MSSA president.

Although the theme for this year’s Homecoming is medieval, people are generally misinformed about true medieval culture, Sikes said, and both of the movies will provide a good opportunity to change that.

“We are going to discuss the me-dieval culture after Beowulf — how the film does and doesn’t reflect the true culture of Anglo-Saxon Eng-land,” she said.

The Maxwell Museum of Anthro-pology’s Archaeology Curator Da-vid Phillips and Ethnology Curator Kathryn Klein are hosting a tour of collections pertinent to medieval history.

Sikes said it’s good for the Uni-versity to incorporate educational activities into Homecoming week.

“It ties in with the larger goals of the University to be a place of high-er education,” she said. “While you might think of Homecoming as be-ing more associated with football or celebration, it doesn’t hurt to include something more educational.”

The UNM Alumni Associa-tion will return for various events throughout the week as well, said Susan MacEachen, Alumni Associa-tion senior alumni relations officer.

“We provide a great connection for our former students to return to their University and for students to meet alumni at the various events,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity for the alumni to show their support and their loyalty to the University.”

The Alumni Association is one of the largest public benefactors of Homecoming week, MacEachen said. The group starts planning in April.

“Homecoming is one of our larg-est alumni events all year. The whole staff puts a lot of effort into it,” she said. “We try to bring everybody back and celebrate UNM, their ap-preciation for their education and participation for students.”

Whether you are a current stu-dent or a returning one, this Home-coming week will be filled with in-teresting activities to engage the campus and embrace school spirit, MacEachen said.

“People just like Homecoming. They like the fall weather and the atmosphere,” she said. “It’s a sense of pride and an opportunity for them to show it, so it’s just a great celebration.”

they can have a couple days of re-prieve and get situated.”

Ricci said casseroles can be dropped off at the Ronald McDon-ald House, University House or Hodgin Hall. She said the committee is also asking for donations of toilet paper for the local RMDH. She said students can also get a free Home-coming pin in exchange for a toi-let paper roll on Wednesday from 11 a.m to 12:30 p.m. in SUB Ballroom C.

Hutchins said UNM students who want to get more involved can participate in both projects.

Ryan Lindquist, associate direc-tor of student activities, said volun-teering is an important part of ev-ery Homecoming week. He enjoyed making dinner for RMDH residents so much that he wants to do it again with a group of friends, he said.

“I think giving back to the com-munity makes you want to do more,” Lindquist said. “We just wanted to make sure there was a community service aspect to Homecoming this year, and the Alumni Association did a good job of putting that to-gether so we could help make that come true.”

It wasn’t quite the homecoming the UNM volleyball team expected.

Coming off back-to-back road wins against rival New Mexico State and Mountain West Conference foe Utah last week, the Lobos dropped a 25-21, 25-18, 25-18 match to the Uni-versity of Nevada, Las Vegas on Satur-day at Johnson Gym.

Halfway through the MWC sched-ule, UNM is 13-7 overall and 4-4 in

conference.“It’s a hard hit

for us,” said head coach Jeff Nel-son. “Give UNLV

credit: They played well. But they were 4-11 coming into this match. You can’t lose to a team with that kind of a record. It’s a bad loss for us.”

From the first point, the Lobos looked shaky. Setter Jade Michaelsen dumped the ball into the net to give the Rebels a 1-0 lead in the first set, and UNM never recovered.

“We all had it in our heads that UNLV was just going to give it to us, and they didn’t,” said sophomore middle blocker Ashley Rhoades. “We started off slow and never really picked it up.”

Tied at 20-20 in the first set, UNLV’s Cursty Jackson took control with a kill and two block assists to give UNLV the first set, 25-21.

Jackson finished the match with 17 kills and hit .600 for the Rebels.

“We knew (Jackson) would be fast in the middle,” Rhoades said. “We were supposed to keep our hands up and block early. But we waited until the setter had already set the ball to

jump and by then it was too late.” The Lobos started set two in a hole,

2-8. After UNM fought back to with-in one at 11-12, UNLV went on a 7-0 streak to lead 19-11. After a time out, the Lobos scratched back to 18-22 be-hind two kills and a solo block by ju-nior middle blocker Taylor Hadfield. But the Rebels once again came out firing to close the set 25-18.

During the break, Nelson tried to shake things up for game three.

“We asked them to make adjust-ments, and they didn’t do it,” Nelson said. “This is one of the most talented teams I’ve had, but it’s also the least coachable. We gave them a game plan, and they decided whether or not to follow it.”

In the third game, UNM and UNLV battled evenly to 13-13. The Rebels went on a 10-1 run to lead 23-14, be-fore sealing the win 25-18.

No Lobo reached double digits in kills. Rhoades knocked down nine kills to pace UNM. Hadfield added eight, and junior outside hitter Lisa Meeter chipped in five. As a team, UNLV hit .301 for the match, while the Lobos posted a dismal .076.

“We had a tough time putting the ball down,” Michaelsen said. “We needed to mix things up a little more and choose better shots.”

UNM sits in fifth place in the MWC race behind Colorado State at 8-0, TCU and Utah at 6-2, and BYU at 5-3.

Michaelsen said the Lobos will have to fight in the coming weeks to turn their season around.

“This loss puts us in a position where a lot of other teams will de-cide our fate,” she said. “We need to turn around and dig deep to beat our league’s top teams if we want a shot at postseason.”

Not coincidentally, that led to the Lobos’ exclusion from the NCAA Tournament. UNM was then vanquished in the National Invita-tional Tournament by California — one of the top-flight teams on the Lobos’ schedule this year.

Still, it seems the Lobos just can’t steer clear of the iceberg, be-cause the exact same thing hap-pened to them last season. Twen-ty-two wins, but then another hasty one-night stand — the Lobos were in and out of the MWC Tournament before anyone could blink, this time with the spurs of Wyoming tortuously digging into them.

Conceivably — early confer-ence-tournament losses aside — UNM’s biggest quandary is sched-uling, which as Alford said at the conclusion of last year’s season, it’s a catch-22.

Play a tough nonconference schedule, Alford said, and you run the risk of beating up your team before it enters conference play. Schedule too many Hostess, cream-filled cupcakes, he said, and you’re not battle-tested come inter-league play. Your Ratings Percent-age Index will take a hit, something the selection committee considers

when determining which teams get at-large bids come tournament time.

With that in mind, Alford said this year’s schedule has his name written all over it — and it’s one of the most difficult schedules com-piled in Alford’s years at UNM.

“Yeah, that’s my fault,” Alford said. “We did that schedule think-ing (we’d have centers) Kem Nweke and Isaiah Rusher. It’s probably too much to bite off, to be honest with you.”

This year’s calendar is peppered with tournament contenders.

UNM has a date with Califor-nia — a team which lost to Mary-land 84-71 in the first round of the NCAA tourney — Dec. 2. There are no placeholders filling the Lobos’ planner between that matchup and a neutral-site contest with Texas A&M on Dec. 12: in between, UNM will take on in-state rival NMSU and visit San Diego.

Just for good measure, the Lobos will complete the second leg of a home-and-home with Texas Tech, which will be making the return trip to The Pit Dec. 29. Lastly, UNM will take on Dayton, which fell to Kansas in the second round of the

NCAA Tournament.“You’re playing those big

names,” Alford said. “You got to win some of those big-name games. We obviously didn’t win enough in the nonleague (last year). That’s scary going into this season. We have to be patient. That’s not real easy. I’m not a real patient guy.”

For his own sake, Alford would be well-suited to develop that vir-tue as soon as possible. It could po-tentially be a long year, considering the Lobos are down three seniors — Tony Danridge, Chad Toppert and Daniel Faris — and their 12-man roster is composed of a combined nine freshmen and sophomores.

But swing man Phillip McDon-ald, now entering his second year with the team, doesn’t see it that way.

“If we end up beating good teams and BCS schools, we have a chance to be ranked in the top 25,” he said. “Matter of fact, it’ll help us get in the tournament.”

Yep, but it could also have Al-ford exhausted, mumbling to him-self on the bench, asking why on God’s green earth he scheduled such stout competition.

the 2009-10 season, but senior Amy Beggin proved why she is the team leader and preseason All-MWC.

Beggin helped the cherry squad squeak out a 31-28 victory over the silver team in the Lobos’ in-tersquad scrimmage. Beggin hit the game winning 3-pointer after Lauren Taylor tied the game with a 3-pointer.

Flanagan was impressed with the scoring the Lobos were able to produce.

“I felt we shot pretty well,” he

said. “Even from the beginning, I was a little surprised at our first warm-up going full-court; we scored a lot of points off of that. I was pretty surprised with the whole thing.”

Beggin, who now has won three Lobo Howl 3-point contests, re-peated as champion on Friday. However, Beggin didn’t cruise like she did in years past.

In the semifinals of the shoot-out, Beggin faced her biggest com-petition, Amanda Best.

She narrowly avoided defeat, hitting one more 3-pointer than Best.

Then, in the finals, Beggin and Taylor were tied at 18, but Beggin sashayed her last attempt, giving her the title.

“I knew going in this was going to be a great battle,” Beggin said. “There are a lot of great 3-point shooters on our team. I think it is a sign of things to come this year. We have a lot of great players, and it will be a fun year.”

Gary Alderete / Daily LoboForward Justin Davis slides to the ground as the ball sails over him. The Lobos defeated Cal State Bakersfield 2-1 on Sunday at the UNM Soccer Complex.

by Nathan FarmerDaily Lobo

It took 89 minutes to tie the game — and nine more to win it.

But the UNM men’s soccer team remains undefeated in Mountain Pa-cific Sports Federation play, moving to 2-0 after a thrilling 2-1 overtime win Sunday over conference foe Cal State Bakersfield.

No. 14 UNM found itself down ear-ly after the Roadrunners converted a penalty-kick opportunity in the 32nd minute, compliments of midfielder Alberto Navarro’s goal, which gave Cal State a 1-0 lead.

With the outcome looking grim, midfielder Stephen Brown scored the game-tying goal with 38 seconds left. That momentum carried the Lobos through overtime, and forward Justin Davis was able to put away the game winner in a one-on-one situation with Cal State’s goalkeeper, Eric Shannon.

Head coach Jeremy Fishbein said close wins will prepare UNM for a rig-orous conference schedule.

“Our guys were confident. We hit the post a couple of times, cre-ated chances, and our guys believed in themselves,” said Fishbein. “You don’t like to put yourselves in these situations, but these wins go a long

way.” Davis said

Sunday’s vic-tory was a qual-ity win for the Lobos.

“We knew we had to fight a little bit in the second half,” Davis said. “We came out and just really attacked the goal and created a lot of chances. It took us long enough to put one in, but we finally did, and we just carried that into the overtime.”

Sunday’s win, which rounds out a flawless weekend for the Lobos, will serve as a guidepost for the rest of UNM’s conference season, said de-fender Simon Ejdemyr.

Ejdemyr, who has anchored the back line and chipped in with three goals, said having three conference home games made this weekend’s games even more crucial. But the dif-ficulty of the Lobos’ nonconference

schedule, which has come in handy so far, prepared UNM for an intense conference race.

During the nonconference portion of the season, the Lobos played six teams ranked in the top 25. The Lobos have looked impressive overall, with road wins over nonconference oppo-nents Notre Dame and California — both ranked in the top 10 this season. UNM nudged by the Fighting Irish 2-1 in overtime before handing the Gold-en Bears a 2-1 loss.

“We have played one of the hard-est nonconference schedules of any team in the nation this season,” said midfielder Stephen Brown.

The most important results are in-conference, however.

Last season, UNM lost three road conference games to San Jose State, the University of Nevada, Las Ve-gas and eventual-champion Denver. And, after winning four consecutive conference titles, the Lobos finished second behind Denver.

In recent years, the Lobos have played every team twice — once at home and once on the road. This sea-son, teams only face each other once, so each contest is even more impor-tant, said midfielder and forward Mi-chael Green.

“We really need to play more con-sistent at home and away in order for us to win back the title,” he said.

From here, the Lobos play four straight road games, traveling to Colo-rado for a matchup with Air Force and a pivotal game against Denver. The Lobos continue their grueling road schedule against Sacramento State and San Jose the following weekend.

And after a heartbreaking noncon-ference overtime loss to UC-Irvine on Oct. 7, Fishbein’s attitude towards conference play has changed.

“We were all looking past confer-ence to the NCAA tournament,” he said. “It would have made it easier to make the NCAA tournament with sev-en wins against some quality teams, but now we know we must win con-ference to make it to the postseason.”

16BasketballSports editor / Isaac Avilucea

by Mario TrujilloDaily Lobo

Ten of the 12 UNM men’s bas-ketball players have one year or less of experience in Division I college basketball.

But leading the Lobos’ way are two players from last year who have 129 starts in their college careers combined. To put that in perspec-tive, the rest of the men’s basketball team has 34 Division I starts under their belt.

Forward Roman Martinez and point guard Dairese Gary are the lone upperclassmen on the team. � e coaches have picked them to share the role of captain.

Martinez is the only senior for the Lobos. Last season, he averaged 10.6 points per game and 6.4 re-bounds per game — and, most im-portantly, he has 67 starts.

� e nature of college sports dic-tates that there will be a constant � ux of leadership stepping up and then graduating, said head coach Steve Alford.

And Alford said Martinez has taken on that role this year, whether he wants it or not.

“Unfortunately it is not real fair for him,” Alford said. “He is the lone guy. We have had three (seniors) each of the last two years to help in the senior leadership and captain responsibilities. And now we have one senior. And that is a heavy load to bear.”

Martinez said he has adapted to the role on the � oor, but basketball extends farther than just the court.

“On the � oor I have always been a good leader, but, in a sense, o� the � oor I need to communicate more,” he said.

Gary will also be sharing leader-ship responsibilities.

He goes into the season with experience at the point-guard

position. He started every game last year, leading the starting � ve and contributing 8.1 points and a team-high 4.1 assists per game — sec-ond overall in the Mountain West Conference.

As one of the few experienced players on the team, he said he has seen the team change since last season.

“Last year we were a more ad-vanced team,” he said. “� is year, there is a lot of teaching and it is slower. We do go hard and go physi-cal, but there is a lot more slowing down and teaching now.”

Still, neither captain will suc-cumb to calling this a rebuilding year.

“Rebuilding years are just a year where you do OK — you get some wins and take tough losses,” he said. “I don’t really agree that this is a re-building year. We want to see this year as another chance to win a championship.”

Even so, Gary said that the young team will have to hit the ground run-ning and that there will be a fresh-man learning curve in the opening months of the season, but he’s con-� dent the Lobos will overcome it.

“We have a strong team,” Gary said. “We have a lot of good players. I don’t feel that I am getting short-changed with the team right now. It is just another year, and we have to go out and prove it.”

After getting o� to a slow start last year, the Lobos � nished the year in a three-way tie for the MWC regular-season championship.

But it was harder that way, Mar-tinez said, and it’s important UNM doesn’t dig itself into a hole early on this season.

“Last year, we started 3-4, and I want anything other than that,” he said. “So we are going to work hard to make sure it doesn’t happen this year.”

Lone senior is thrown into leadership role

Lobo Howl sets high sights for year

Alford’s tough schedule will be make-or-break

RIO RANCHO — Jamal Fenton isn’t Joe Namath — he came about two inches short of delivering on a promise.

At Media Day for UNM men’s basketball on � ursday at the Davalos Center, the 5-foot-8-inch point guard had � ghting words for his teammates. He guaranteed he would take home the dunk title on Friday.

“I am going to win the dunk contest,” he said. “I am just letting everybody know.”

Instead, he came in second to junior-college transfer Darington Hobson.

� e dunk contest marked the last of Friday’s Lobo Howl festivi-ties, with the Lobos playing in an intersquad scrimmage and 3-point contest beforehand. Hobson would show o� his � ight ability in the dunk contest, but � rst he show-cased his true all-around skills in UNM’s 20-minute scrimmage.

Hobson led all Lobos with 21 points and went 9-of-15 from the

� eld, lifting the cherry squad to a 44-31 win over silver.

Head coach Steve Alford said he was encouraged that so many peo-ple made the trek out to the City of Vision, which hosted the cherry-silver game because � e Pit is still undergoing renovation.

“� is is what our fans do,” he said. “� is was a great turnout for us. It’s exciting for our kids. It real-ly is a great way for us to tip o� the season like this. It energizes them going into the practice season.”

But the gem of the night was the dunk contest.

To get to the � nals, Fenton bounced the ball o� the backboard and one-handed the basketball into the rim.

He saved a more spectacular dunk for the � nals of the fun-� lled contest, but he failed to � nish the jam.

From about half court, Fenton � ipped up to teammate Nate Garth, and did a cartwheel followed by a cleanly executed back � ip — but he didn’t have enough spunk to � nish the alley-oop, falling just a couple of inches shy of rocking the rim.

Still, the crowd of about 3,500 thought he won the contest.

“I thought I was going to win the dunk contest,” Fenton said. “I would say I won.”

� e night was � lled with sur-prises, too. Two members of last year’s Mountain West Conference regular-season championship team made special appearances.

� ree-point specialist Chad Toppert competed with this year’s 3-point champion, Phillip McDon-ald. � e two tied with 13.

After narrowly beating Fenton, Hobson squared o� with last year’s NCAA dunk and Howl champion Tony Danridge.

For the element of shock, Dan-ridge dressed incognito, wearing a pair of black and red plaid shorts and a gray wig that looked like as-sistant coach Craig Neal’s salt-and-pepper hair.

But the crowd wouldn’t have been as pumped if it weren’t for the men’s opening act.

Not surprisingly, Steve Alford didn’t have any preseason premo-nitions when he was asked to es-timate how many wins the UNM men’s basketball team needs to get into the NCAA Tournament this year.

Every year, the requisite magic-number-of-wins question is raised, and, every year, the men’s head basketball coach, now heading into his third season with the Lobos, re-sponds more or less in the same manner — “I have no idea.”

Why? Because every year the UNM men’s basketball team is left to brood over its NCAA-bid inade-quacies, however marginal.

“Twenty-four (wins) the � rst

year and 22 and a (regular-season) championship wasn’t enough,” Al-ford said. “Our schedule is tough-er. Our schedule is something that keeps getting better, and that’s something that enhances the things that you want to do (in the season).”

If the NCAA Selection Commit-tee is captain on an elementary basketball court, the Lobos are al-ways the last kid picked.

Two years ago, in Alford’s maid-en voyage, the Lobos reeled o� 24 regular-season wins — but su� ered a Titanic collapse against sixth-place � nisher Utah, falling short in overtime of the Mountain West Conference Tournament quarter� -nals 82-80.
