READY TO TAKE THE TITLE

The driver of a truck that hit UNM student Wolfgang Scott-Co-hen said police promised to keep him updated on Scott-Cohen’s condition. But, the driver said, he never received any notifications, not even after Scott-Cohen died.

“They whisked him away be-cause he was hurt,” he said. “The cops said they are going to let me know, but they haven’t said a damn thing.”

Driver Michael Barros said po-lice promised to contact him fol-lowing the Feb. 10 incident, but said he didn’t even know the name of the student until he spoke with the Daily Lobo. Scott-Cohen fell into a coma as a result of the acci-dent and died Tuesday night.

“I’ve been wondering about him, and I called to the police sta-tion the day after it happened, but they were closed over the week-end, and the next day there was another accident nearby and I asked that cop, but they told me ‘Well if he would have died, they would have let you know,’ so I kind of took it that he was doing alright.”

Albuquerque police told the Daily Lobo on Feb. 12 that Scott-Cohen had been hit by a drunk driver, but the official police re-port states Barros had not con-sumed any alcohol.

UNM Public Information Offi-cer Casia Martinez said there was no DWI investigation connected to the incident, and Barros said he was not intoxicated at the time.

“Oh no, I don’t drink and drive at all,” Barros said.

Martinez said she was unable to obtain any documentation about the incident late Thursday night and that she does not know if Barros will face any charges.

“The case gets forwarded to the district attorney and they will decide if there is going to be an investigation,” she said. “I do not know if there are any pending charges.”

According to the police report, multiple witnesses said Scott-Co-hen ran the stop sign at Adams Street while heading west on Cla-remont Street and was struck by Barros, who was driving south.

Barros said he called for help and several PNM workers who were in the area monitored Scott-Cohen until an ambulance arrived.

One UNM professor says a world without electricity and ravaged by natural disaster might not be too far off, and the UNM community needs a plan.

“I think we are going to crash in one form or another,” Sustain-ability Studies professor Mag-gie Seeley said. “It may be slow; it may come economically so I want the UNM campus and the perimeter around the campus to have a plan.”

The newly formed Transition Club is ready to prepare students and UNM for possible societal and technological collapse.

The club was originally a proj-ect started last semester in See-ley’s Sustainability 334 class called “transition group.”

Seeley said she isn’t planning for doomsday, just that the lives of future generations are going to be more difficult and preparation needs to begin now.

“I’m not thinking about Arma-geddon,” she said. “I am just to-tally believing that we won’t have the life that I grew up with.”

The group became a club on campus two weeks ago and hopes to have monthly potlucks where students can come togeth-er to plan to make UNM more prepared for environmental di-sasters and hardship.

Pily Rodriguez, a junior com-munity regional planning major and head of the Transition Club, said the club aims to train stu-dents in traditional agricultural techniques that don’t depend on modern technology.

“It’s a movement that is be-coming more resilient and be-coming less energy dependent,” she said. “It means increasing the amount of food we produce locally, having chickens and learning manual skills that we have lost over time because of technology.”

Rodriguez said the group had a meeting off campus last se-

mester that 83 people attended. About 30 percent of the attend-ees were students, he said.

Rodriguez said holding club meetings on campus will en-courage more students to attend. She said she is going to focus on teaching students simple manual skills, such as sewing and repair-ing, that many people don’t have because machines are able to do them.

“It’s (about) becoming resil-ient so that when crisis happens we are going to survive as a com-munity so we’re not going to go into chaos,” she said.

Seeley said UNM will be one of the first campuses in the coun-try with a club like this.

“UNM could cut some serious ground here,” she said. “I think it’s a good plan if we are prepared. It could just be a drought with no water, or it could just be a brown-out, or some sort of flu epidemic or perpetual unemployment.”

Seeley said she wants to build on the idea behind Lobo Gar-

dens, which is an agricultural ini-tiative that teaches students how to cultivate and harvest crops. La Posada dining hall and Outtakes then use the produce for the food they sell.

Lobo Gardens is an effort to teach students how to live off the land, Seeley said. “We already have Lobo Gardens, and we have a tiny amount of produce go-ing into Outtakes from the pro-duce we make,” she said. “It’s not much, but it’s a beginning. I want to see something big enough so the University can get behind it. “

On Feb. 16, a UNMPD officer went to UNMH in response to a combative patient, a police report states. The patient was standing on the southwest corner of the ER en-trance smoking a pipe. When secu-rity approached him, he became aggressive but was soon hand-

cuffed, the report states. The man told police that he needed to be treated for bronchitis; he then be-gan complaining that he was hav-ing trouble breathing. He was ad-mitted into the ER and his pipe was taken from him.

On Feb. 12, a female student told police that a check had been sto-len from her dorm in Lobo Village, according to a police report. She

told police that the check was sto-len sometime between Jan. 18 and Jan. 23 and was cashed for $50 on Jan. 23. The thief forged her signa-ture, the report states. There were no witnesses and no one has been identified.

On Feb. 15, A UNMPD officer was dispatched to Lobo Village because of a larceny, a police report states. A man who was with the UNM parking

authority told police he had booted a car that had “numerous unpaid citations.” The man told police that he received a call later that day regarding the car. He was told that it was no longer present at the location, the report states. Police soon discovered the car belonged to a man from Los Lunas who was not a resident at UNM.

On Feb. 18, UNMPD officers showed up at Laguna De Vargas dorms

in reference to a resident in possession of marijuana and a glass pipe, a police report states. A resident adviser told police she had received complaints from other residents about an odor of marijuana coming from a room. Ac-cording to the report, the resident of the room admitted that he was in pos-session of marijuana, the pipe and a plastic Sobe bottle out of which he had smoked the marijuana in attempt to mask the smell. He was issued a mis-demeanor citation and the police con-fiscated the marijuana, the pipe and the bottle, the report states.

SUNLAND PARK, N.M. — Scandals and dirty politics have long defined this dusty border town. So when a woman started dancing topless in mayoral can-didate Gerardo Hernandez’s of-fice, he says it crossed his mind it could be a setup.

“But then I thought to myself, you’re not that important, who would set you up?” Hernandez said in an interview Thursday.

It all started, Hernandez said, after a Mexican national fleeing threats south of the border of-fered to assist his campaign. Dur-ing a meeting, Hernandez said, the man turned on some music and indicated the woman who was with him liked to dance. The dance turned sexual, Hernandez said, but there was no sex — just a dance.

“As any gentleman would know, it was a lap dance,” he said.

And all the while, Hernandez says, he was being taped without his knowledge.

His opponents say the married candidate is simply trying to cov-er up being caught in an uncom-promising position.

“He made his cross, now he

should carry it,” said City Council candidate Ernesto Marquez.

Marquez said he saw a video of the encounter after a flash drive was dropped off at an election booth in the parking lot of City Hall. He says the recording de-picts Hernandez engaging in lewd acts with the woman that go be-yond dancing.

No one knows who placed the flash drive.

But the answer to that ques-tion is apparently what state po-lice were looking for when they raided City Hall this week, a few days after Hernandez said he told authorities a stranger approached him and threatened to leak a sex video of him if he refused to drop out of the race.

Residents, meantime, are just plain fed up with a city hall that has seen raids by state police three times in as many years and whose mayor acknowledged sign-ing a million-dollar contract last year while drunk.

“It’s been happening for years,” said grocery store cashier Rober-to Perez. “They are all the same. … They just squander the money because it’s not theirs. They don’t give a (expletive).”

Things have gotten so bad that state Rep. Mary Helen Garcia (D-

Las Cruces) last year asked the state to take over government in the southern New Mexico town that borders Texas and Mexico.

Garcia’s request came after Mayor Martin Resendiz nearly came to blows with the mayor pro tem after council members ques-tioned the mayor’s attendance and his approval of a $47,000 buy-out for the city manager. Garcia said this week she has not heard back from the state, but may fol-low up after the mayoral elections next month.

“It’s always the same,” said res-ident Beatriz Perez. The politi-cians “keep saying they are going to do stuff, and they do nothing. It’s like no one cares about us.”

Hernandez says he is the target of a setup by his opponent Dan-iel Salinas. Salinas has denied any involvement and says he’s not un-der investigation for extortion.

State police and the district at-torney have declined to say why they raided City Hall, saying the search warrant was sealed.

Hernandez said police were looking for surveillance video that might show who approached him in the parking lot and who left a copy of the questionable video at his opponent’s election booth near City Hall.

Sexy dance may have been trap

Cops catch cop raiding fridgeThe Associated Press

DEER PARK, Texas — A sting operation by a suburban Hous-ton police department netted one of their own when surveillance cameras caught an officer repeat-edly stealing colleagues’ food and drinks from the refrigerator in the station’s break room.

Deer Park police Officer Kev-in Yang was charged with misde-meanor theft and suspended for 30 days without pay. Deer Park Police Chief Greg Griggs tells KTRK-TV of Houston that a class C misdemeanor conviction would not keep Yang from returning to duty.

Griggs says he authorized the

video sting because the thefts have been going on for too long. Even though the items being sto-len may be of trivial value, Griggs says theft is theft.

Yang tells KTRK that he was merely taking it upon himself to keep the shared refrigerator clean.

Editor’s Note: Readers, I am forgoing my regular column today to give one of my writers the chance to reflect on the recent death of UNM student Wolfgang Scott-Co-hen. Thank your for your understanding. My column will resume next week.

by Luke [email protected]

The thoughts on death that take hold of the mind after a friend’s passing: A longing to see them just once more;

the guilt in thinking that you might have, somehow, saved them; the remem-brance of times you have spent togeth-er … These seem cliché; a repetition of the countless thoughts of others who have lost before you and of those who will follow in the footsteps of your grief. But they are not clichés. No, they are the proper burial shrouds of a stubborn optimist ; an ambitious thinker; a lov-ing son and brother and a dear friend whose company the world will miss. They are the burial shrouds that each heart who knew him lays on the pass-ing of our dear friend Wolf Scott-Cohen.

Those who shared his company are forever indebted to the time they spent with him, and those who had not yet met him will unknowingly have missed the privilege of meeting one of the greatest men I have met in the time I have spent on this Earth.Know that as you think of Wolf today, and whenever you think of him, that you are not alone in your remembrance. May he cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees, cradled in the hands of God who blessed this Earth with his presence.

Future foggy for inconsistent Lobos

LETTER

Editor,

Want to learn some software, maybe Photoshop or Maya, or per-haps how to program in almost any language? It’s a lot easier now as a UNM student, staff or faculty.Check out lynda.unm.edu (or follow the QR code).I just wanted to thank the UNM central IT department, its CIO and deputy CIO as well as the library and others in-volved for the site license that was pur-chased for lynda.com so all students, staff and faculty can use it.

I have used lynda.com for a num-ber of years both personally and pro-fessionally and can’t say how useful it’s been for my IT work, hobbies and school.

Does the UNM basketball team deserve to be ranked among the top 25?

As the roller coaster season continues, I’m still uncertain — and I think the Lobos feel the same.

Tuesday night’s 71-63 loss to unranked Colorado State, one day after getting na-tional attention and the No. 18 ranking in the Associated Press weekly poll, con-vinced me that I won’t know how good this team is until its final loss of the year.

I won’t know what kind of team head coach Steve Alford has assembled be-cause every time it looks ready to make the step from good to great, the team falls on its face.

And Tuesday was no different.The Lobos lost to a Rams team they

beat at home by 32 points just last month.Three days after making a statement

on national television and crushing then-No. 11 UNLV at The Pit, the Lobos traveled to Fort Collins, Colo. and chucked their worst shooting percentage of conference play (36.7 percent).

And senior forward Drew Gordon was out-Gordon-ed.

Last week, nobody played at the level Gordon did, maybe in the entire country.

He took it to then-No. 13 San Di-ego State with a Herculean effort in the win, scoring 17 points and grabbing 17

rebounds.Just when you thought he had played

the best game of the season, he played the best game of his life.

His 27-point, 20-rebound performance against the Rebels on CBS three days later got NBA front offices talking.

Colorado State forward Pierce Hornung upstaged Gordon at Moby Arena.

Hornung muscled UNM’s front court for 13 points and 15 rebounds — all Gor-don did was tie his career-high in turn-overs with six.

And that’s the kind of season it’s been for the Lobos.

Up and down.UNM was picked as the preseason fa-

vorite to win the Mountain West, mainly for its depth of talent and new faces.

Gordon was named preseason player of the year and Hugh Greenwood preseason freshman of the year.

The Lobos slaughtered Davenport and Western New Mexico in the two exhibi-tion games, winning by 38 and 31 points, respectively.

And in the first game that mattered, the opening game of the season in which the Lobos took on New Orleans, UNM won by 52.

All was good in Lobo land — and then the Aggies came to town.

The Lobos, who averaged 94.3 points per game in those first three games (against nobodies, granted) were shut

down 62-53 at home and ended with 28.0 shooting percentage, the worst of any game thus far in the season.

Eight days later UNM lost again to San-ta Clara in the ‘76 Classic, a tournament many picked the Lobos to win.

Fans started to doubt. My best friend heckled me for writing a column in which I claimed the Lobos would win 28 games.

Then the Lobos went on an unprec-edented 13-game winning streak. The streak was the fourth longest in the coun-try at the time, just behind Syracuse, Bay-lor and Murray State. The Lobos were on the verge of top-25 status.

And just like that, they fell to San Diego State at home and then to UNLV by 17.

Suddenly, UNM went back to medi-ocrity. It got lost in the middle of the conference standings and bordered on irrelevance.

Then Alford proposed a 13-day chal-lenge to his team that sparked a seven-game win streak and earned the Lobos a national ranking — until Tuesday.

I don’t know what to expect from the Lobos anymore. They could win the rest of their games, the MWC tourney, grab a 3 to 5 seed in the NCAA tournament and maybe sneak into the Sweet 16.

Or they could lose another game before the conference tournament, fall short in the MWC tourney, settle for a 7 to 10 seed and lose in the first round of the NCAAs.

I just don’t know.

DAILY LOBOnew mexico

With a new season and new coach, the lacrosse team is ready to get its first winning season since its inception at UNM.

Nick Griffith, a sophomore business major and vice-president of the lacrosse club, said the team has yet to have a winning record in its past two seasons, but hopes to change that this year.

“We have been really improving ev-ery year after only getting a few wins our first year,” he said. “We are putting in more work than we did last year so we can compete at a better level.”

The team is led by first-year head coach Andrew Goldston and competes in the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference (RMLC). Af-ter playing for four years at the University of Oklahoma, he said he is prepared to get into coaching.

“I really like the team we have right now. They have really good potential and everyone on the team is really ex-cited,” he said. “The emotion and en-thusiasm I have seen on this team is more than any one I have played on.”

The team opens up its season at home against Fort Lewis on Friday and plays Texas Tech on Sunday.

“They are both very winnable games,” Griffith said. “Fort Lewis is a rival of ours ever since the team started up a few years ago.”

Goldston said he plans on getting two wins this weekend to start off his coaching career.

“I’ll be disappointed if we don’t come out 2-0,” he said. “We haven’t fared that well against them in the past, but the team we have and the strides we have made, I definitely think we can come out being 2-0.”

The team also has games this year against Colorado School of Mines, CSU-Pueblo, Utah State, Utah,

Team vies for first winning record

Dylan Smith / Daily LoboJunior Justin Gaudian takes a shot on the team’s goalie, junior Eric Painter, during a practice Wednesday at Johnson field. The UNM lacrosse club team starts its season Friday with a match against Fort Lewis.

Western State and North Texas.The highlight of the sched-

ule is the match against No. 1 BYU on March 9. BYU won the national championship last year, and Gold-ston said the team is excited to play the best team in the country.

“It’s going to be a really good expe-rience getting to play a team that is so well known across the nation,” he said.

Because lacrosse is a club sport at UNM, it receives money through team fees and ASUNM. The team fee per player is $650.

Griffith said the amount the team receives from ASUNM changes ev-ery year. Last year ASUNM funded the team $2,000, a small portion of the team’s total expenses.

He said the team fees provide most of the funding for travel,

practice time and equipment.“It (money from ASUNM) doesn’t

really cover for any of the costs,” Griffith said. “There are a lot of costs, so the money we get from the school helps, but it’s nowhere near enough. So we have to do a lot on our own.”

Goldston said the fact that each player is willing to shell out the $650 fee demonstrates the group’s dedica-tion to the sport and to the team.

“These kids really put in a lot of hard work,” he said. “The dedication on this team is great and there have never once been a complaint about the cost.”

Upcoming Athletic Events

by Cesar [email protected]

With one of their stiffest competitors out of the way, this weekend the men’s and women’s track and field squads vie for their first conference titles.

The 2012 Mountain West indoor track and field championships are held this weekend at the Albuquerque Convention Center. With the departure of Brigham Young University from the conference, a team that had won the previous three men’s and women’s titles, the champion-ship is up for grabs this season.

“Right now Boise (State) and Air Force on the men’s side are way out in front on paper,” UNM head coach Joe Franklin said. “Luckily, we don’t play games on paper.”

Franklin said TCU is the favorite on the women’s side.

But the Lobos have talent of their own — especially in long distance running.

Franklin, a notorious recruiter of suc-cessful long distance runners, will have many of those athletes on display Thurs-day through Saturday.

On the men’s side, senior distance runner Ross Millington holds the fastest 3,000-meter run (7:49.11) in the confer-ence and the fourth best in the nation.

He’ll try for two titles this weekend, also running the mile.

“This year it seems like the teams have gotten better, but I want to win both (rac-es),” Millington said.

BYU gone, title up for grabsFranklin said Millington could go

down in UNM history as the best long dis-tance runner the Lobos have ever seen.

“Right now he’s the fastest 3,000-meter runner in the history of the University of New Mexico and he may be the fastest miler by the time it’s all done,” Franklin said. “He could go down as the greatest distance run-ner in University of New Mexico history.”

Millington, who also runs cross coun-try for UNM, could not finish at the NCAA championships last November because of an illness, a setback that fueled him for this indoor track season.

“I wasn’t really happy about that, so I trained really hard over Christmas,” Millington said. “I’ve been very pleased with how things are going right now.”

Junior distance runner Sam Evans joins Millington in the mile event. He is ranked third (4:05.00) in the MWC and 94th in the country. Sophomore dis-tance runner Gabe Aragon will run the 800-meter, where he ranks first (1:49.37) in the MWC and 32nd nationwide.

Junior distance runner Sean Stan holds the third-fastest time (14:14.24) in the conference in the 5,000-meter and is 60th in the NCAA.

On the women’s side, junior distance runner Josephine Moultrie has taken the Lobo program by storm.

With three school records in the last two meets, the top-ranked 800-meter (2:09.27) and mile runner (4:42.30) in the conference is on the brink of greatness.

“We haven’t had a great miler yet,”

Franklin said. “We’ve had some good mil-ers but no great ones. Maybe Josephine has a chance to be the first.”

Joining Moultrie in the mile are junior distance runner Imogen Ainsworth and senior distance runner Sarah Waldron, who are ranked second (4:49.05) and third (4:52.15) in the conference, respectively.

Ainsworth will also participate in the 3,000-meter run, where she is ranked fourth (9:40.52) in the MWC.

In the 5,000-meter, Waldron and junior distance runner Lacey Oeding are ranked first (16:14.65) and third (16:44.01) in the MWC and 22nd and 70th in the NCAA, respectively.

MWC top-10 mile runners senior Ruth Senior and junior Shawna Winnegar will not compete this weekend because of injuries.

“It’s going to be a great event,” Franklin said. “It’s a great weekend for track and field in Albuquerque. And maybe if we could have things fall right, we can challenge.”

Junfu Han / Daily LoboUNM’s junior triple-jumper Floyd Ross earned third place at the Don Kirby Invitational’s triple-jump event Feb. 10 at the Albuquerque Convention Center. The men’s and women’s MWC indoor championship is this weekend.
