Bill battles to save lottery scholarship

By Brendon Gray @notgraybrendon

Students receiving the lottery scholarship can plan on an $800 tuition spike, pending the outcome of legislation in Santa Fe, according to Terry Babbitt, the associate vice president of the Enrollment Management Division.

For nearly 10 years, the lottery tuition fund has received a third of its funding from the taxation on liquor sales in the state.

June 2017 marks the end date for channel of funding, and without renewal, the scholarship will

drop from 90 percent tuition coverage to 60 percent.

“We can’t let that happen,” said Nathan Cowan, ASUNM Governmental Affairs executive director.

Some representatives hope to extend the tax contribution to the lottery scholarship.

Democratic Rep. Carl Trujillo introduced HB 237 which, if passed, will extend the lottery scholarship contribution from the Liquor Excise Tax through 2020.

The lottery scholarship, formed in 1996, pays a percentage of tuition for students across the state, while the liquor excise tax began

making contributions to the lottery tuition fund in 2006 to address increasing scholarship demand and decreasing lottery profits.

Trujillo said that with a decrease in scholarship money, “you would have many more students on the edge of not affording higher education. The end result will be fewer students educated.”

Trujillo also mentioned the bill may face pushback from legislators hesitant to pass spending increases amidst a budget deficit.

“Legislators do want to see this bill get passed,” he said, “but if there’s no money, there’s no money.”

He also added that getting the bill passed “is going to be difficult.”

Last Tuesday, HB 237 passed its first committee with a 7-0 vote, and now heads to the Taxation and Revenue Committee, where it will meet a Democrat majority.

The bill — like all legislation — must pass through committee, be voted on by both the state House and Senate, and be approved by the governor.

Other legislation has taken aim at supplementing funds funneled into the lottery tuition fund.

One proposal — HB 250 — would add unclaimed lottery ticket prizes to the tuition pool. Estimates

from the Fiscal Impact Summary portion of the bill cites an approximate $2.6 million in additional fund revenue.

Additionally, SB 276, though not specifically designed to increase revenue, looks to save some money by “backloading” the lottery scholarship — staggering the amount of tuition covered each semester for students advancing through their college careers.

According to the legislation, students would see 40 percent tuition coverage their first year, 50 percent the next two years, then 80 percent

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Beynon notches 2nd triple-double

By Matthew Narvaiz @matt_narvaiz An unusual start for the Lobo women’s basketball team helped them get the lead against Frenso State. Another historic performance helped to ensure a win.

Senior forward Kianna Keller — who has not been akin to shooting the ball often — scored the Lobos’ first three points of the game on her way to a near double-double.

Keller posted a season-high nine points and brought down 11 rebounds in a 66-57 win over the Bulldogs.

Head coach Mike Bradbury said he was proud of Keller’s play, when asked about her performance in Saturday’s game.

“She was great,” Bradbury said.

“The points she got early really separated us in the first half and helped give us that lead.”

Keller was able to expand her offense, in large part due to Fresno State doubling senior center Richelle van der Keijl down low.

“I mean, it’s not usually my role, but if they’re going to keep doubling Richelle, then I have to shoot at some point to hope that we can get the ball back in to her,” Keller said. “So I just shot when I was open.

Keller wasn’t the only one with a star showing for the Lobos, though.

Junior guard Cherise Beynon picked up her second triple-double of the season, scoring 15 points, securing 15 rebounds and dishing out 10 assists. It’s her second tripledouble of the season; the first two for the program since 1979.

Both redshirt junior guard Alex Lapeyrolerie and van der Keijl both had 15 points in the game, though van der Keijl also had eight boards, finishing just two rebounds shy of another double-double.

The first quarter started out with the Lobos running out to an

8-0 lead before finally surrendering a bucket to the Bulldogs. Fresno State’s Kristina Kavey responded with a 3-pointer to reduce the Lobo lead to five points.

Lapeyrolerie answered back to hit a couple 3-pointers of her own in the closing minutes of the quarter to give the Lobos the lead going into the second quarter, 20-13.

Fresno State started off the scoring in the second period, going on a 4-0 run to trim the lead to just three points. But van der Keijl helped turn the tide back in favor of New Mexico. She hit a layup to make it 22-17 and the Lobos ended the quarter on a 4-0 run to take a comfortable 35-22 lead heading into halftime.

After a halftime break, Fresno State came out swinging. The Bulldogs started out the third quarter on a 10-0 run to make the Lobo advantage just three points again with 4:21 remaining in the period, 35-32.

It took the Lobos nearly seven minutes to finally score their first point of the second half — a free throw made by Beynon to increase the lead to four.

New Mexico didn’t score from the field until Beynon hit a layup with 2:32 remaining. Despite the poor shooting, junior guard Laneah Bryan followed up with a 3-pointer to bring the lead to eight points, 41-33.

Beynon said she believed her team’s focus is what pulled her team out of the third quarter slump.

“Just to stay focused,” Beynon said. “It’s a game of runs, and eventually they were going to go on a run. So we just had to stay together and that’s what we did.”

But Fresno State knocked down three 3-pointers in the final two minutes of the third quarter to close the gap again, trailing 43-42

Friends, teachers remember Romero

Courtesy / Juan Romero

By Matthew Reisen @MReisen88 For friends and colleagues of UNM student Juan Romero, who passed away last week, the reality still hasn’t sunk in.

“I’m still partly in the shock phase. I haven’t fully accepted it,” said Armando Martinez. “I feel compelled to text him still.”

When Martinez met Romero seven or eight years ago at a birthday party, he said the two became fast friends with a lot in common, including their musical tastes and a similar, “goofy” sense of humor.

“He was a very loyal friend, and the type of person you only meet once in a lifetime,” Martinez said.

“Definitely a character for sure.”

Romero was an avid reader — especially of philosophy — and a great conversationalist, he said, with an ability to “explain the unexplainable” and offer “solid life advice.”

“He was very wise beyond his years,” Martinez said. “Probably one

of the best conversationalists I’ve ever met.”

Romero also provided an outlet for his friends, including Martinez “There were some rough times I was going through (and) he would always pick up the phone and be willing to just listen to me,” he said.

“If I was ever in trouble, he would definitely come help me out.”

Romero’s thoughtfulness toward his friends manifested in various ways, whether it was with deep conversation or something a little less serious.

Martinez remembers the night fondly, when he and a mutual friend were “feeling down on our luck” and “upset about where our lives were,” when Romero showed up “out of the blue” with a trunk full of fireworks.

“We spent the whole night blowing up fireworks,” he said. “It lifted up our spirits and it was very juvenile, in many ways. But it’s a very fond memory I have.”

Romero was not just remembered fondly by his friends, but also by those at UNM, like professor Iain Thomson.

Thomson remembers Romero as a “very smart” and creative student, but also a funny and kind person who was a good friend to other students and “pleasure to be around.”

“He didn’t seem to take life too seriously, which is a sign of deep understanding,” he said. “Juan was always ready with an insightful remark or humorous comment, and had a knack for lightening the mood when things got too dark.”

Thomson said he bumped into Romero at the Election Night event downtown, and the two spent over an hour together, listening to a band from the back of the crowd as the results came in.

With a “sad look in his eyes,” Romero cracked jokes about the fact that America would elect a divisive and controversial presidential candidate in Donald Trump.

“His resilient good humor in that very dark night helped me get through it myself,” he said. “The world will be less bright without him in it — the whole philosophical community at UNM mourns his

Yale professor discusses Constitution at UNM

By Celia Raney @Celia_Raney “The Constitution is more than just a text,” said Yale professor Akhil Reed Amar said during his speech Thursday evening.

Amar is a distinguished professor of law and political science at both Yale Law and Yale College, where he teaches constitutional law. “(The Constitution) is an act of ordainment and establishment,” Amar said. “It lets people speak, lets people vote, even before the freedom of speech and freedom of the press are put in the words of the First Amendment.”

In his speech, Amar accredited the globalization of democracy to the ratification of the United States Constitution.

“Democracy existed almost no-

Lottery

from page

where on the planet before 1786,” he said. “The history of the world is the history of kings, emperors, tsars, sultans, lords and chieftains — thugs all.”

Amar claims that we now inhabit a democratic world in which more than half the population has a democratic form of government.

“The word ‘democracy’ is not a dirty word,” he said, stating that it is more important now than ever to understand both the written and unwritten parts of the Constitution.

Amar explained that the world has an increasing number of educated elites, and being able to understand the rights the U.S. country was founded upon is critical.

“People died and I want you to know what the words (of the Constitution) actually say,” Amar said, adding, “you’re entitled to everything those words say, and more.”

When the Constitution was ratified in 1788, “more people were allowed to vote than had ever before been allowed to vote on anything in human history,” he said.

The word “citizen” appears more than 20 times in the constitution, which Amar says proves that the Constitution was made “by the people, for the people.”

Amar described the Constitution as a model that has allowed countries around the world with incredibly culturally diverse populations to govern themselves.

“It’s a multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-ethnic project,” he said, adding that projects take time to work out, making the Constitution an intergenerational project.

“We won the last century, and I like our odds going forward if we stay true to our best selves,” Amar said.

At the end of his speech,

Amar held a brief Q&A session in which he addressed concerns about the Electoral College and the Trump administration.

“A lot of learning is going to evolve unlearned,” he said.

“Knowledge advances; that’s true of constitutional laws, too.”

When describing the flaws of the Electoral College, Amar said, “America is not divided by big and small states. America is divided north against south, coast against the center and cities against (rural) country.”

The plan for the Electoral College, as described by Amar, was to unite and democratically elect the president.

Amar did not offer an alternative to the Electoral College system; however, he did state that “in a direct election, the south would win every time.”

Amar concluded his

discussion with a call to action: for everyone to read and understand the Constitution.

“We want to crawl back into the womb,” he said, “because we are scared and that’s where we came from.”

Amar said it was “too soon” to tell how Trump will challenge the system of checks and balances, but that understanding the rights provided to the citizenry will allow the country to remain a leading example of democracy.

Cowan noted budget shortfalls as obstacles for the legislation. For him, extending the contributions is a needed short-term answer.

“This is our band-aid while we learn to heal,” he said of the bill.

Cowan predicted more University budget woes if the legislation doesn’t approve the extension, citing lower in-state enrollment rates and an overall decrease in statewide education.

Babbitt said even if legisla-

tion to extend doesn’t pass, the lottery scholarship still provides good value.

“Current standalone lottery funding would pay approximately 60 percent of tuition. That is still an exceptional deal for New Mexico students when considering our already low-tuition compared to peers,” he said.

Babbitt, however, did mention the scholarship’s importance for UNM.

“It has helped keep students in New Mexico and many attending UNM,” he said, citing the $30 million yearly gift aid given to UNM students “which helps keep college affordable and student loan debt lower.”

Trujillo reiterated Babbitt, saying “the lottery scholarship is a proven program for the young men and women of New Mexico.”

He hopes to keep its funding at a maximum through his pro-

posed legislation.

The bill has not yet been scheduled for vote in its next committee.

and finally 100 percent coverage for the last three semesters.

The strategy is a controversial method for cost savings with mixed reactions.

Supporters cite lower rates of interest accrued on scholarship money and an increased incentive to progress through school, while opponents say the cost-saving strategy exploits low retention rates and disadvantages poor or firstgeneration students.

HB 237 is just one of several bills related to the Lottery Scholarship making the rounds in Santa Fe. Here are some of the others.

HB 194 – Looks to make the scholarship needs-based for students whose family’s annual household income doesn’t exceed $75,000. Also proposes that the average annual fund balance for the scholarship be reduced from $2 million to $1 million.

Where is it now? The House Labor and Economic Development Committee.

HB 250 – Looks to make bonuses and incentive pay for lottery retailers and vendors in the state congruent with the increase in amount of lottery ticket revenue provided to the Lottery Scholarship fund, instead of being based on gross sales of lottery tickets.

Where is it now? The House Business and Industry Committee.

HB 344 – Looks to make the scholarship needs-based for students whose expected family contribution to the cost of attending college is less than 150 percent of the total cost of attendance.

Where is it now? House State Government, Indian and Veterans Affairs Committee.

SB 188 – Looks to make the Lottery Scholarship available to students who had to leave New Mexico to attend a high school in another state pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, so long as that high school is accredited and the student meets all other qualifications.

Where is it now? The House Health and Human Services Committee.

SB 420 – Looks to allow for students to qualify for the scholarship if they take a year off after graduating from high school.

Where is it now? The Senate Education Committee, scheduled to be heard on Monday.

HSC battles aging, cancer

By Hannah Eisenberg @DailyLobo

Nick Fojud / Daily Lobo / @NFojud

Associate Scientist Geetanjali Sharma works in Eric Prossnitz’s lab on Friday, Feb. 17, 2017 at the Cancer Research Center. Prossnitz and his team are conducting research related to aging and cancer, and how to slow down the development of both.

doctors could employ a doublecombatant approach, halting the production of breast cancer cells as well as lowering the cell’s survival rate.

The development of breast cancer isn’t the only realm that GPER plays a part in though; it could also hold the key to slowing the aging process.

This discovery by Prossnitz and his researchers took place in part by chance.

Prossnitz’s team conducted a trial to make side-by-side comparisons of normal mice with KnockOut mice — mice that had been genetically altered to remove the GPER gene.

They discovered that the mice without the GPER gene had higher rates of obesity and diabetes.

Because of the role estrogen plays in these diseases, and the lack of estrogen caused by removal of the GPER gene, this finding wasn’t unexpected.

What did come as a surprise was that, as the altered mice aged, they showed lower signs of cardiovascular issues.

“We expected their blood vessels and their hearts would be more diseased, show greater signs of aging. They looked great, they were as healthy as a young mouse would be,” Prossnitz said. “This was very odd.”

This discovery led to the realization that the GPER gene wasn’t just an estrogen receptor.

It also regulates a protein called NOX1, responsible for creating a substance called superoxide, a reactive oxygen species that causes cellular deterioration.

“Aging is a result of exposure to these reactive oxygen species over a lifetime,” Prossnitz said.

This cellular damage is an integral part of the aging process.

As our cells become damaged and die they are replaced with a material, extracellular matrix, in a process called fibrosis.

Prossnitz described this material as a “scar tissue of the organs.”

“A heart’s job is to pump, but if it’s cells are being replaced with this matrix, it’s not going to do that very well”, he stated.

Because the Knock-Out mice in this trial were lacking the GPER gene, and the cellular damage caused by the production of superoxide, their cardiovascular systems weren’t overloaded with fibrosis.

“It’s a proof of principle that says it could work in humans,” Prossnitz said.

Prossnitz and his team are currently testing the process of GPER and superoxide production in human tissues.

By dampening down the GPER effects using the G36 chemical inhibitor, the team has been able to produce the same results as the trial with mice, limiting the gene expression of NOX1 and thus the amount of superoxide and cellular damage.

In regards to his plans for this discovery, Prossnitz said, ”Going forward we want to understand much better how the drug works, and what other effects it has in animals.”

While the study of the GPER gene and it’s mechanisms in aging are still in the early stages of trials, the team says they do offer promising results.

ASUNM PRESIDENT AND VP

SPRING 2017

The path to a cure for cancer and aging may be littered with beauty products and vitamins, but the true advances in this realm can’t be seen with the naked eye.

Eric Prossnitz, a professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the Health Sciences Center, has spent his career studying the invisible and complex business of cell signaling.

Taking place in his lab at UNM’s Comprehensive Cancer Center is a foray into the study of how one gene, GPER, plays an important role in the body. A recent discovery by Prossnitz and his team has found that this gene holds some of the secrets of the processes of aging and cancer.

Roughly 10 years ago, the GPER gene was identified as a component in the regulation of estrogen.

While estrogen plays a pivotal part in many bodily systems — including metabolism, insulin regulation and bone growth — it’s also a factor in the development of breast tissue.

“Breast tissue has to be continuously sensitive and ready, if the hormones are there, to expand, which means all these cells have to grow and proliferate,” Prossnitz said.

While this is integral to puberty and the production of milk during pregnancy, the sensitivity that breast tissue employs to its surrounding hormones leaves it more vulnerable than other tissues.

If the hormones, like estrogen, that tell breast tissue to proliferate go unchecked, breast cancer can develop.

“Cancers are diseases where the regulation of cell growth becomes uncontrolled,” he said.

This is where drugs like Tamoxifen come into play, by helping to curb the development of breast tissue cells.

A counteraction of these medicines, though, is the over stimulation of the GPER gene.

“We think this compound helps these cells learn how to survive,” Prossnitz said.

He believes by developing a drug that dampers GPER’s effects on the body, they could halt the breast tissue cells’ survival. With the discovery of the G36 inhibitor, a chemical that does exactly that, they are on their way to developing this drug.

With this potential medication,

The history of “fake news”

By Nichole Harwood @Nolidoli1 In a world where the legitimacy of news is constantly called into question by politicians and readers alike, whose responsibility is it to determine what is “fake news” and what is not?

It is both the reporter’s job to write factually accurate news, and the reader’s responsibility to check the legitimacy of their choice in news outlets, whether this outlet is online or through a news network.

But all news has one measurement in common that is ultimately connected to its value and newsworthiness: the ability of news in any form to catch the eye of a reader, a viewer or a listener.

From there, those who follow news are drawn into another conflict — the accuracy of the information being presented. Despite present day Twitter trends involving #fakenews and some politicians calling out news organizations as distributors of false information, the questioning of the media is not a purely modern occurrence.

Historically, governments have not only targeted the media, publicly attacking it through other news outlets, but certain governments have gone out of their way to silence journalists. This is because the media — legitimate news organizations and illegitimate alike — have the ability to spread information.

And information, as they say, is power.

In “Media, History, Society: A Cultural History of U.S. Media,” Janet Cramer cites a 2006 U.S. Census Bureau report that stated, “U.S. citizens spend more time watching television, listening to the radio, surfing the

Internet and reading newspapers than they spend doing anything else except breathing.”

With a variety of news outlets of both the mainstream and alternative variety, the generating of news has only grown over the years. So much so, in fact, that modern politicians use this as a reason to question the authenticity of even the most established news organizations.

To many, this may seem legitimate, if not for the fact that the invention of the internet and increase in media sources is not the first time the accuracy of the news was questioned.

For instance, the term “yellow journalism” originated with the New York papers around 1895 far earlier than the invention of the internet or creation of alternative online media. “Yellow Journalism is the flamboyant, sometimes grotesque, use of large headlines and large pictures and includes fraudulent or misleading information” (Cramer, 2009, p.140).

Sound familiar? How many social media stories come up on an individual’s news feeds, and how many of these articles share any of the characteristics that defined yellow journalism all those years ago?

The more modern term for many of these stories is “clickbait.” The accuracy of the information provided in these stories is often directly related to the credibility of the news source. Often these stories could be factchecked with a simple Google search, far easier to do now than before the advent of the Internet.

So why are legitimate news organizations being questioned when fact-checking can be done so easily? Well, clickbait has an advantage where many legitimate news organizations’ articles lag behind: presentation.

A clickbait story doesn’t have to hold legitimate information to be shared; it just has to look and sound good. Many actually look for these types of articles to solidify beliefs they already had prior to reading them.

When they share the story on their news feeds, friends and family often read these types of articles and share them as well without fact-checking, due to their own inherent trust in the one who originally shared the content. In the same vein, an individual may be more inclined to share false news if a prominent figure claims it to be true.

A legitimate news organization has to fight drawbacks that are inherent when trying to report unbiased news, one of the largest being that not everyone wants to hear the news — especially when it will negatively impact them or challenge their beliefs.

Does this mean that all mainstream news organizations strive for factually accurate news while alternative media distribute nothing but false, sensationalized news? Not necessarily.

Both mainstream news organizations and alternative media are made up of people, and by nature people have their own inherent bias.

A reporter, whether they are a radio news broadcaster or a newspaper contributor, has a responsibility first to the people. This means overcoming personal biases to report accurate information to the best of their abilities. The reporter that does this best will generally have a more factual article than the reporter who relies on sensationalism.

So whether it’s an article shared by a family member or an article deemed “fake news” by a prominent politician, it is best to fact check yourself rather than taking another’s word for it. Because at the end of the day, it’s the reader of these articles that will ultimately decide the value of information, and what they do with it.

marijuana industry — and its $1 billion in sales last year — generated $135.1 million in taxes, license and fee revenue for Colorado.

Close to one quarter of the 2015 state marijuana revenue will be spent on school construction projects.”

Meanwhile, here in our ill-fated failed state, “New Mexico ranks as the worst run state on our list for the second consecutive year. Following a large and unexpected tax shortfall in the state’s fiscal 2016 and 2017 budgets, Moody’s downgraded the state’s credit rating and outlook.” I thought conservatives believed in small government, individual liberty?

King writes of his late son, “We believe

100 percent that pot reduced or removed inhibitions that would normally have made him hesitant to use heroin.” With all due respect, King is entitled to his beliefs, but not to his own facts! “The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) quietly removed a report from its website, suggesting that it is finally giving up the false theories that cannabis is a ‘gateway drug.’ These myths have been at the heart of positions held by marijuana prohibitionists and often served as their platform when voting against medical cannabis legislation.”

The 80-year prohibition of the holy herb, the marijuana plan, is rooted in junk science, xenophobia and racism, so it’s not

at all surprising that the party of Republican President Donald Trump remains in lock step support of this failed and racist policy!

“The federal law that makes possession of marijuana a crime has its origins in legislation that was passed in an atmosphere of hysteria during the 1930s and that was firmly rooted in prejudices against Mexican immigrants and African-Americans, who were associated with marijuana use at the time. This racially freighted history lives on in current federal policy, which is so driven by myth and propaganda that it is almost impervious to reason.”

Lobos sweep Bearcats

By Matthew Narvaiz

line Dead r: e n e to t

y 28,

@matt_narvaiz Great pitching and strong hitting in the third of a three-game series helped the Lobo baseball team sweep the Binghamton Bearcats at Santa Ana Star Field, as the Lobos (3-0) took home the victory 11-4 on Sunday afternoon.

Luis Gonzalez – who also plays outfield – got the start on the mound for the Lobos. He struck out four, and only allowed four hits and one run in five innings of pitching.

But the hitters provided for the Lobos too. As a team, the Lobos notched 15 hits, while holding Binghamton (0-3) to 12, though the Lobos were able to score more often.

Third baseman Carl Stajduhar had a star performance, going 4-for5 at the plate, while driving in three runs for the Lobos. First baseman Jack Zoellner had a productive day at the plate for the Lobos too, going 2-for-3 from the plate and driving in two runs.

But nothing was more sweet than the two homers the Lobos produced.

Both Danny Collier and Robby Campillo cleared the field once.

Binghamton, in the top of the first inning, threatened with a runner on first and second base, but that is all they would do in their time batting.

After Luis Gonzalez hit a pop-up to first, Lobo Andre Gregory singled to left field, though that’s the furthest the Lobos would get in the inning as Binghamton would snatch a double play on the ensuing play.

The Lobos attacked in the bottom of the second inning, with Stajduhar leading off and nailing a single to left field. Quickly after, Zoellner reached base on a walk with no outs. Jared Mang moved the runners on to second and third base on a groundout to the Binghamton pitcher. Andre Vigil, though, would eventually score Stajduhar on a groundout to second – giving him an RBI and putting the Lobos up 1-0.

Senior Andre Vigil slides into home plate during the Lobos last game against Binghamton Sunday, Feb. 19, 2017 at Santa Ana Star Field. The Lobos swept Binghamton winning all three games in the series this past weekend.

Freshman Beau Capanna led off the bottom of the third for the Lobos, hitting a single to left field, his first collegiate career hit. Capanna stole second base while Gonzalez was at bat. Gonzalez then flied out to center field and Capanna tagged up and reached third base.

Gregory singled to right field and eventually reached second on an error by the outfielder, driving in Capanna to put the Lobos up 2-0.

But Danny Collier nailed a homer to right field, which drove in Gregory and put the Lobos up 4-0.

The Lobos didn’t stop in the third, though, and scored four more runs to go up 8-0 before Binghamton could stop the bleeding.

At the top of the sixth inning, Gonzalez allowed a double from Binghamton in the first at-bat, which led to a pitching change from the Lobos. Freshman reliever Justin Slaten came in for Gonzalez and quickly allowed a single to the right side that drove in the Binghamton runner from second base. But Slaten quickly recovered and struck out the next batter, and closed out the inning not allowing another run. The Lobos still held onto an 8-1 lead heading

into the bottom of the sixth.

In the bottom of the seventh, Stajduhar was able to single to the right side. Shortly after, Zoellner doubled to left center and drove Stajduhar in to put the Lobos up 9-1.

After a Binghamton pitching change, Mang homered to right center, driving in the runner on second to go up 11-1. The Lobos ended the seventh inning by scoring three runs.

Binghamton hit their stride in the top of the eighth inning, driving in three runs on four hits. But after three Lobo pitching changes in the inning, Drew Gillespie closed out the inning with a strikeout and groundout.

Neither team scored the rest of the game, and the Lobos took the win on Sunday afternoon, 11-4.

Up next for the Lobos is a threegame series at Dallas Baptist on Friday, Feb. 24 through Sunday, Feb. 26.

“I don’t want to reimagine the past with some sort of sentimental lens, but I think he knows that he was loved by his friends and I know, personally, that he wasn’t afraid to die,” he said.

Although Romero was young, with dreams of becoming a philosophy professor, Martinez knew Romero didn’t want to die, but also that he wasn’t afraid of death.

Not in a fearlessness, risk taker way, but in the way of acceptance.

“Accepting of the idea that we all die and that is just the end result of life, as ridiculous as that sounds,” he said. “If Juan could speak to me now, he would say, ‘It happens, people

die.’ That’s just kind of the sense of humor he had.”

The last time Martinez saw Romero was the Saturday before his passing, when they spent the whole day hanging out, shopping and just conversing. “‘Hey man, it seems like you’re doing really well these days,’ And he said, ‘I am,’” Martinez said. “That’s literally the last time I saw him or spoke to him in person.”

The winners will be announced in early April (National Poetry Month) and the awards will be presented at an event that will be scheduled later in April. (The competition will be judged by a committee of faculty readers as well as poet and donor Karen McKinnon.)

terrible and untimely loss.”

Martinez said the loss of Romero, although fresh, has already given him a perspective on friendship.

“Dealing with the death of a friend, it’s a very, very heavy thing.

It really makes you value your friends,” he said. “Life’s precious, and you should never take your friends for granted — you should keep them close.”

That includes friends, both passed and still living, he said, but there is no replacing Romero’s sense of humor and his acceptance of life’s ups and downs. That’s something that is able to reassure Martinez as he copes with his friend’s passing.

“I think we need some ramps to go from one level to the next, for when people use a bicycle or moped. I know there is a ramp, but it’s very windy and not useful.”

“More seats and tables, because there is too much open space. I think it’s being wasted, because there is nothing there. If there was more furniture, there would be less people skating and more students sitting, eating or talking.”

“I think they should have more events here. I know that, right now, events like the career fair are carried out at the SUB. It would be better if we could use this space to carry out more events. It could be a great space for concerts if you had architecture similar to an amphitheater.”

”I feel like we should keep the space as is. A lot of different people, a lot of athletic people, go around there with skateboards and bikes. A lot of little kids go over there and play because it’s really open. I feel like it’s nice to just have an open space.”

Lobos break through for first win this season

By Robert Maler @robert_maler The Lobo women’s tennis team earned a split in Salt Lake City, Utah over the weekend, breaking through to win its first game of the season.

Head coach Stephanie Wooten-Quijada took over the team in the fall, and said she was excited to pick up the first team victory of the spring.

“It felt really good, I think it was well-deserved,” she said. “The girls had been right on the cusp of pulling out one of those close matches, and we did it, so that was nice.”

New Mexico (1-5) played Utah on Friday as the first-year head coach of UNM faced her former head coach, Mat Iandolo, when she was a player for Purdue.

The Lobos got off to a rocky start, losing the first two matches in doubles play, which spotted Utah a 1-0 lead. The Utes were also well ahead in the third doubles match when the point was clinched.

Senior Rachana Bhat evened

things up by defeating Utah’s Whitney Turley, taking a straight-set victory, 6-0, 7-5.

Utah responded by taking the next two singles matches, and the Lobos needed a win on court one to keep hope alive. But Ludivine Burguiere could not close things out after winning the second set to force a decisive third set.

She was defeated by Margo Pletcher, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, which clinched the victory for Utah.

The teams elected to finish playing the remaining two matches, with each school taking one victory. Freshman Cassie Chung staved off Taylor Calton to win, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, but Andrea Leblanc fell in a thrilling three set match.

Utah walked away with a 5-2 team victory.

Wooten-Quijada said she had faced Iandolo before when she was at Houston, and has appreciated his guidance during her coaching career.

“Mat is an awesome person. If (our team) had won, he would’ve been happy for me,” she said. “He

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Turnovers foil UNM’s chance to beat Fresno

By Isabel Gonzalez @cisabelg A subpar performance that included 19 turnovers cost the Lobos an important game and likely erased any chance at the Mountain West regular season title on Saturday night.

New Mexico (16-11, 9-6 MW) was just one game out of first place going into the game, but suffered a 71-61 loss at the hands of Fresno State. Now, its NCAA tournament chances will rely heavily on whether the team can win the Mountain West Tournament in March.

“We didn’t move the ball as well as we have been moving it,” UNM head coach Craig Neal said in a statement after the game. “We had opportunities in both the first and

second half but we didn’t let our offense work.

The first 20-minute period could have gone either way, as the biggest lead was only a four-point margin, held by Fresno with a little less than six minutes remaining. The first half of the match was a dead heat, with the schools tied 30-30 going into the locker room.

Redshirt junior guard Elijah Brown, along with junior guard/ forward Sam Logwood, led the Lobos with nine points a piece at the break. On the Bulldogs’ side, it was redshirt sophomore guard Deshon Taylor who led all scorers with 12 points.

Brown, who leads the Lobos with an 18.8 point per game average, took a while to warm up in Tuesday’s 78-73 win over Boise State. He had just eight points at the half, but heated up to finish

with a total of 27 points.

But Saturday was nothing like that.

Brown only collected two more points in the second half, while teammate Damien Jefferson added seven points, after only getting three in the first period.

Logwood topped the team scoring with 14 points, the third in five games he has seen double digits.

The teams tied each other on three more occasions early in the second half, and the Lobos briefly went ahead after guard Jordan Hunter split a pair of free throws to take a 39-38 lead with 15:03 remaining.

But they lost it just as quickly after Fresno State’s Cullen Russo made a layup on the next possession at the 14:39 mark, and the Lobos never found the lead again.

The Bulldogs led by as many as 10 points on three occasions, in-

Fresno State.

The Lobos finished the game by stepping up to the free throw line and knocking down shots to put the game away. Beynon scored six of the final seven Lobo points, four of which came from the charity stripe to snag a 66-57 win at WisePies Arena.

As a team, the Lobos shot 38.1 percent from the field, but hit a formidable 36.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Fresno State, on the other hand, shot 32.9 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from the 3-point line.

The Lobos out-hustled the Bulldogs on the glass, bringing down 54 rebounds compared to just 34 for Fresno State.

UNM also dominated scoring

in the paint, a major part of the Lobo offensive arsenal. The team outscored Fresno State 26-16 in the lane.

Up next for the Lobos is a showdown in Fort Collins, Colorado as they take on Colorado State for a second time this season. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, and the game will be streamed live on the Mountain West Network.

cluding the final margin of victory.

UNM cut the lead to four points after Jefferson drained a shot from beyond the arc with 3:44 to play.

The Lobos got a stop on defense and had a chance to make it a single possession game, but didn’t even get a shot off.

New Mexico’s 19th turnover, a Paul Watson steal, proved costly as it led to a fast break dunk at the other end.

The Bulldogs continued to make shots and stretched the lead back to 10 points, holding a 66-56 advantage with 1:52 left in the game.

New Mexico still looked for a comeback, managing to pull back within six points, 66-60. Lobo guard/forward created a turnover and eyed a 3-point attempt to cut the lead in half, but his shot was off the mark.

Fresno State iced the game away

at the foul line, connecting on five of its final six free throw attempts to take a 71-61 win.

The Bulldogs ended the night with four players scoring in double figures, Taylor and Jaron Hopkins with 15 a piece, Williams accounted for 14 and Watson had 11 points.

The Lobos will be back at home on Tuesday night to host the Colorado State Rams in their second-to-last home game of the regular season. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. at WisePies Arena.

going into the final period.

The Lobos didn’t open up the fourth quarter the way they may have hoped either. Fresno State’s Bego Faz Davalos scored the first four points of the quarter to give the Bulldogs a 46-43 lead about one minute into the final period.

The Lobos used a 7-0 run, which began with a Lapeyrolerie jumper, to reclaim the lead less than two minutes later.

The Lobos didn’t look back, steadily increasing their lead throughout the remainder of the quarter. Bryan — who got the start in place of the injured Mykiel Burleson — hit a 3-pointer that gave the Lobos a 59-50 lead with 3:28 left in the game, helping to shelve any thoughts of another comeback bid from

By: Nikole McKibben Baked Chicken and Vegetables This recipe is simple, and can be ready to serve in less than an hour.

Chicken is an important source of protein, and baking does not add extra calories that frying would. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains 9 essential amino acids for building protein in the body.

Frozen vegetables are the easiest way to prepare your meal, but if you want fresh vegetables more power to you. Some of my favorite vegetables are the squash variety, carrots, corn, and broccoli. This recipe asks for a vegetable medley, which usually has carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower.

Most vegetables have fiber, which is important for appetite control, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Dark green, leafy vegetables are the best in vitamins and minerals.

I love to use spices, if you are not

keen on them, stick to the basics such as salt, pepper and garlic.

Easy on the salt, because too much sodium can lead to water retention.

Don’t feel like you need to run to the store and buy a lot of spices, as that can get expensive!

Serves 1-2 Ingredients: 6 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast, thawed 1 – 2 servings frozen vegetables of your choice 1/2 c. water 1 tsp salt 2 tsp Pepper 2 - 3 tsp garlic 3 tsp crushed rosemary 1 tsp parsley Utensils: Frying pan or shallow pot Spoon or other utensil for stirring Cookie sheet or baking pan

Directions: Preheat oven to 450 F. Combine all seasonings in a small bowl and mix.

Rub or sprinkle the chicken breast with spice mix. If you want to add moisture, extra flavor and a little fat to the chicken, you can rub it with olive oil. Place chicken onto baking sheet and cook in oven for 12 - 15 minutes. Keep an eye on chicken for over-browning around the edges— chicken may need to be turned over halfway through cooking. If your chicken breast is thicker, you may need to keep it in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Chicken is done when it is a golden brown color, and has a flaky white center with no pink, or when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Place pot on stovetop and set to medium. Pour vegetable medley into pot and allow to defrost.

To avoid burning, pour water into pot and allow to boil vegetables slightly. Remove from stove top once they are cooked to your liking.

New UNM group aims to build student leaders

By Kelly Urvanejo @DailyLobo A new student group is coming to campus, centered around enabling students to build leadership skills while bridging the gap between political parties to create a safe environment to discuss political issues.

The Young American Leaders Initiative practically formed itself, when wave after wave of distraught students approached 21-year-old UNM student Christopher Haquani with concerns about the results from November’s election, resulting in one of the most surprising outcomes in election history.

Many students didn’t feel safe and were worried about what was going to happen to them, their families and their friends, Haquani said.

Haquani admitted he was nervous too, but he always wanted to create a mentorship program and show people how they could perform public service and get involved within the community, without having to turn to politics.

“Public service is not a political thing,” he said. “It’s part of being a citizen.”

Once Haquani had a sufficient amount of students interested, he contacted Michael Rocca — an American politics professor at

Tennis

from page

UNM — who jumped at the opportunity to help.

Rocca said this last campaign cycle and the start of President Donald Trump’s time in office feels different.

“First-time voters can see the context and see how the process works and accept it, but that’s not how it really works,” he said.

Rocca said he is interested in any effort to help facilitate and create leaders. He said YALI — the main goal of which is to enable and empower students at every level in society — will show students how the process should work and how they can be a part of it.

“Each student will create a leadership development program that guides others through a discussion of what it means to be a leader, and give them an education on leadership philosophy,” Haquani said.

They will also develop those concepts through practice, as each student in the group will design a public service program that aligns with his or her career path, such as mentorships, he said. The group is an accessible one, too; students don’t have to have a political science background to create the programs. Instead, they have the opportunity to create mentorships in many different fields, such as art, biology and language.

“In developing these programs, students will create a blueprint that

they can carry with them once they graduate and leave behind for future members to use as reference,” Haquani said. “Sometimes students don’t know how to get the education they want or how to develop certain skills to accomplish what they really want to do. YALI will provide resources to help students get to where they want to be.”

The secondary goal is to create or develop good habits in regards to constructive dialogue. Rocca said there is a lot of animosity and tension between the two political parties right now, which obstructs the ability to have constructive conversations.

“YALI encourages all students, regardless of their partisan and ideological backgrounds, to come together and hear both sides, think through issues, and create solutions to problems in an environment where they will feel safe and welcome,” he said.

The group plans to continue moving forward, even after Haquani graduates, with the help of Rocca, since these will be ongoing and relevant issues for years to come.

The professor stressed the importance of recruiting freshmen and sophomores who can work up to taking over the leadership positions within the group once they become upperclassmen.

“Members of the group need

to be energized, excited, and motivated. They need to be willing to make a difference and must come to the group with an open mind,” Rocca said.

YALI plans to host events in the future to get others in the community involved as well. The events will come at the end of each month, as well as meetings just between

cares about his student-athletes on and off the court, and that’s how he treated me—so I think he’s helped mold my coaching philosophy.”

The Lobos also got a chance to compete against former UNM and current Wisconsin head coach, Kelcy McKenna.

UNM failed to pick up the doubles point again on Saturday against the Badgers, despite all three matches being very close.

But digging an early hole didn’t seem to phase New Mexico, as the team broke through in singles play.

Wooten-Quijada said the team is still trying to iron out some things in doubles pairings, but wasn’t surprised at all to see the women respond.

She said the team is very

confident in the ability to compete in singles, and knew that if they played hard, they would have a good day.

Burguiere, Chung and Bhat each compiled straight set victory to earn points and shift momentum, putting UNM within one point, 3-1, of its first team victory of the season.

The head coach said she gave Chung a lot of credit for staying on serve and winning the big points when she needed to.

New Mexico needed to win just one of the three remaining singles matches, and appeared to have a firm handle on two of them.

Local show shines spotlight on women’s issues

By Celia Raney @Celia_Raney “Our Glass Figures,” a show produced by the Mud&Wine theater collective, explores intersectionality, rape culture, empowerment, and the struggles and nuances of womanhood in contemporary America.

The show ran for one week each at the Tricklock Performance Laboratory and The Cell Theater.

“The show is a combination of dance, song, sketch comedy, poetry and personal narrative,” writer Caroline Graham said. “Its structure is cyclical and fragmented, and the content ranges from the darkly humorous to the deeply personal and tragic.”

The show was originally scheduled to run in July 2017, but the outcome of the 2016 election, along with the increasingly divisive rhetoric that marred the campaign trail, compelled the collective to develop the show much sooner.

“Things are changing at a frightening pace, and we needed the piece to reflect that urgency,” Graham said. “We built this show from the ground up in about a month, rehearsing four to five times a week, and generating writing both inside and outside of rehearsals.”

Within the show are 11 true and personal accounts of sexual assault, the material for which stemmed from a writing exercise developed by Graham.

“I realized that we couldn’t create a piece about women’s issues without addressing the prevalence

of trauma, particularly sexual violence,” she said.

Mud&Wine company member and actress Katie Farmin said the show did not shy away from scary or sad topics facing women today.

“The audience has to face some of the topics we bring up head on,” Farmin said. “This play is a safe way to have a dialogue about these issues.”

Graham said it was important to establish a safe environment, in which the performers could share their own stories or each other’s stories, to create “that personal connection with the audience.”

When conducting the writing exercise, Graham became more motivated to produce the show as soon as possible.

“You cannot deny there is a problem when every woman in the cast has a story to tell,” she said.

Graham said she has always had an interest in trauma studies and verbatim theater, which puts the words of real individuals onstage, and is driven to elevate unheard or marginalized voices.

“I wanted to create this piece with a diverse group of young women to explore our individual struggles, traumas and celebrations of womanhood, and to embrace feminism in a truly intersectional way,” she said.

Jose Castro, the show’s director, said he was excited to be a part of something that could educate and unite people in a safe space.

“I was immediately drawn to direct the show because of the message it drives,” Castro said.

“I believe theatre is one of the

best ways to educate people; it highlights the nastiest and most uncomfortable parts of the human experience that we often don’t talk about.”

Castro said the production discusses political inequality, misogyny, rape culture and other societal issues while delivering a message of inclusivity and equality for everyone.

The show has received lots of positive feedback, the most

surprising of which came from young men, Farmin said.

“When men see this show, they are awakened to the different types of sexual violence out there,” she said. “They have no idea how often women can be pressured into sex, or how an encounter like that can affect you down the road.”

Farmin hopes the levity and legitimate sense of relevance brought to the show through the personal accounts will inspire

men to change their opinions on these issues.

“It lights a fire inside them to stop shying away from those topics,” she said. “They try harder not to be ‘that guy,’ but to shut down locker room talk.”
