� e Graduate and Professional Student Association celebrated its 40th anniversary � ursday by paying homage to the group’s beginnings, which were mired in controversy.
In 1969, the University threat-ened to expel a graduate teaching assistant for reading a poem con-taining profane language to his Eng-lish class.
� is event sparked uproar in the graduate student body, which then organized to form the Graduate Students Association and later the GPSA.
� e celebration � ursday hon-ored past and present GPSA o� cers and featured graduate students’ art-work, which was hung along the walls of the GPSA o� ce.
Bill Pickens, the GSA’s � rst elect-ed president, said the organization formed out of necessity four de-cades ago.
“� ere were no general rules, regulations or procedures de� n-ing the roles or protecting the rights of graduate student researchers or teaching assistants,” Pickens said in a speech at the event. “Essentially, all were subject to whatever deci-sions or discipline was meted out by faculty or administrators.”
� e � rst administration was try-ing to get GPSA o� the ground dur-ing a tumultuous period in both the country and the University’s history, Pickens said.
In 1970, President Richard Nix-on ordered the invasion of Cam-bodia, and four students were shot and killed at Kent State University while protesting the overseas in-volvement. As a result of protests and chaos on the UNM campus, a number of people were injured and the New Mexico National Guard was called in, he said.
“� e GSA was born into a stormy environment, unprecedented at the relatively quiet UNM,” Pickens said. “� is required us to work togeth-er closely with the undergraduates and o� er a constructive and respon-sible voice when lots of others were losing it.”
Annie Shank, GPSA president for academic year 1998-99, said she re-members seeing students in Albu-querque protesting the teaching as-sistant’s possible expulsion.
“I was hitchhiking across the country, and (Albuquerque) was one of the stops,” Shank said. “� ere was a protest going on, so I mean of course, I’ll hold up a sign for anyone that’s got a good cause. I was into free speech.”

A committee appointed by the provost is hosting the semiannual UNM Volunteer Fair today for or-ganizations who need help from UNM students, staff and faculty.
The New Mexico Jazz Work-shop, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Roadrunner Food Bank and over 50 other organizations will recruit volunteers.
Lina Marie Sandve, a commit-tee representative, said the fair helps UNM community members decide which volunteer organiza-tion is right for them.
“The volunteer fair simply is a
one-stop shop for faculty, students and staff to discover where they might best spend their volunteer hours,” she said. “There’s so many courses that require community service of some kind, and this is a great way for them to fulfill that obligation.”
Judith Ann Garcia, literacy co-ordinator for Bernalillo County, said the county is recruiting vol-unteer tutors for after-school pro-grams. Garcia said many children in the program need one-on-one attention.
“We need volunteers because, unfortunately, we have a lot of children who need tutoring. It’s kind of sad that we have more kids
than we do tutors,” she said. “We find that, at least in small groups, they seem to absorb the informa-tion better that way.”
Garcia said the literacy program does “food for thought,” which en-tails a component of homework, a component of leisure reading and a component of reading to learn.
Tommie Gonzales, coordinator for Computer Clubhouse, said her organization is seeking three vol-unteers a week to help students from ages 9 to 18 become comput-er literate.
“It’s mostly graphic designing and animation,” she said. “We re-cruit mentors to help the kids.”
Gonzales said volunteers
should have some computer ex-perience if they want to help at the Clubhouse.
Sandve said the fair could also help students decide on a career path.
“It gives them a real opportu-nity to shop around and find out
where they’d like to be and what they’d like to do,” she said.
Fair offers options for volunteers
Career Week activities sharpen job-seeking skillsby Tricia Remark
Daily Lobo
� e Anderson School of Management is hosting Career Week, beginning today, to help students get a job after college.
Career Week, which ends Sept. 14, attempts to prepare students for ASM’s Sept. 16 Career Fair through mock interviews, résumé workshops and other events.
Career Week events are open to all UNM students.
Emily Ortiz, president of the UNM Society of Human Resource Management, said students are sometimes unprepared for the post-graduation job search.
“Being out in the work force has been an eye
opener for me to see what we learned in school and also what we haven’t learned in school — some-times we think we know everything, but in reality we don’t,” Ortiz said.
Ortiz said top employers like Hewlett-Packard and Sandia National Laboratories will have rep-resentatives at the events to mentor students. She said they are volunteering their time to share their experiences and advice. � ey’ll also go over stu-dents’ résumés and help them make cover letters.
Ortiz said a “Résumé Express” will be o� ered, where Albuquerque business volunteers review students’ résumés and suggest improvements.
Students can then move on to the “Rock the In-terview” event, where they’ll sit down for mock in-terviews, she said.
“� e résumé is the employer’s � rst look at their
potential employee,” Ortiz said. “If you pass that then you might get the interview, which is why we have the mock interview set up – for the students to get their jitters out.”
Karin Kase, manager of Career Services at An-
derson, said an e� ective résumé is crucial for stu-dents on the job market.
“Real employers spend less than 10 seconds looking at a résumé that is

Q A&UESTI
ON
ALLEN WEHGUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATENSWER
Allen Weh will announce his candidacy for governor of New Mexico at noon today in the SUB Atrium. In a Sept. 4 interview, Weh said the main issues he wants to tackle as governor are government corruption, education and New Mexico’s budget.
Daily Lobo: Why did you decide to announce at UNM that you’re going to run for governor?
Allen Weh: I am an alumnus of the Univer-sity of New Mexico — the University of New Mexico that brought me to New Mexico in 1963. Had I not accepted the invitation that they (UNM College Republicans) extended to attend UNM, then I wouldn’t be in New Mexico today. I wouldn’t be running for governor. I thought it would be appropriate to announce in a location which was the reason I came to New Mexico.
DL: If you were to become governor, what do you think the role of UNM would be in Albuquerque and the community?
AW: You cannot have a great state without great universities. I think that there has been some luster lost at UNM due to reasons that we can talk about on Tuesday, and I will talk about that. � e fact of the matter is that the Univer-sity needs to be given the proper support and the proper funding. It needs proper guidance through regents that are there for the right rea-sons and that have the best interests of the Uni-versity and the state of New Mexico at heart. We should have clear guidelines as to what the Uni-versity is supposed to be doing with its money in order that the University becomes a center of ex-cellence. We should be doing far more. I’d like to see the day when the Anderson School of Man-agement is on the top 50 of business schools in the United States.
DL: How will you make sure there are jobs for UNM students after graduation?

Students are choosing to pur-chase their textbooks from Inter-net providers instead of on-campus bookstores, said Je� Sherwood, CEO of a textbook comparison Web site.
Sherwood’s Bigwords.com has seen an increase of 25 to 50 percent in visitors and revenue each year since 2001, he said.
“On-campus bookstores have an advantage because they are on cam-pus. � eir presence is unavoidable,” Sherwood said. “(However), we see that every year the online stores are taking a larger and larger percent-age of the sales from the bookstore. � ey simply can’t compete.”
According to the Web site of the National Association of College Stores, a trade association, only 13 percent of textbooks were pur-chased online in 2004, while in 2007, the number rose to 23 percent.
Melanie Sparks, director of UNM Bookstores, said the bookstores’
relationship to the University com-munity is unlike that of online retailers.
“We are a part of the Univer-sity, and as such have the relation-ship with the faculty to ensure that the correct course materials are available for their classes — either in-store or (on) the Internet,” she said. “We feel con� dent that we of-fer services that Web sites cannot provide.”
Economics Assistant Professor Matias Fontenla said he agrees that the Bookstore is a reliable source for books but said the store should be ready to make adjustments to e� ec-tively compete with the rapidly ex-panding online textbook business.
“(� e Bookstore) will have to lower prices,” he said. “� ey still can charge somewhat higher pric-es than the online competition be-cause of the convenience factor, but the price di� erence will shrink.”
Sparks said the Bookstore has adapted to the online trend in the textbook market.
“We have a very robust and active Web site that o� ers the same guarantees as coming into the Book-store,” she said.
Sparks said the Bookstore also has an advantage over online retail-ers: textbook buyback.
“We have a very aggressive used-book program, and that saves stu-dents 25 percent,” she said. “We also have a 5-percent-o� for tax with their Lobo ID.”
Freshman Cameron Allen said being able to sell books back at the semester’s end outweighs online convenience.
“I would rather buy online,” he said. “But if you buy online you can’t sell them back to the Bookstore, so in the long run it might actually cost more.”
Fontenla said the competition between online and on-campus will ultimately bene� t students.
“If students have alternative plac-es to buy textbooks, it forces college bookstores to lower textbook prices if they want to compete,” he said.
Bookstore faces online competition Shank said GPSA was still � ght-ing for graduate student represen-tation when she was president. One of the main issues she fought for as president was accessible child care for graduate students.
“Graduate students on the UNM campus tend to be a bit older than typical graduate students,” Shank said. “� ey need child care and they need it badly. I fought with the Board of Regents on that issue and they didn’t like me very much at all.”
Current GPSA president Lissa Knudsen said while the child care issue still has not been resolved, she is proud of what GPSA has done with research grants.
“Our grants process is running seamlessly now. It’s just been con-verted to online,” she said. “We have departments that have never applied before applying, so we’re getting departments that have been historically underserved in-volved.” Knudsen said � ursday’s
event hosted more senatorial and gubernatorial candidates than she had ever seen attend a GPSA event. Some of those honored at the event were GPSA members, including Brian Colon, former chairman of the New Mexico Democratic Par-ty, state Sen. Michael Sanchez and Ken Walz, Albuquerque Journal editor-in-chief.
As the organization moves for-ward, GPSA will need to make re-sponsible decisions while keeping the state of the economy in mind, Knudsen said.
“� ese are hard times,” she said. “And that makes our decision-mak-ing, all the way down to student government, something we need to be thoughtful about — � scally re-sponsible about — and we need to proceed in a way that we can pro-vide the maximum amount for the students while keeping those things in mind. It’s time to start keeping good clean books and making hard decisions.”

Editor,I would like to extend tremendous appre-
ciation to Student Health & Counseling for coming to my rescue.
UNM has great people working at SHAC who care for all students, staff and faculty. I
am a staff member and I had an episode of respiratory distress. Contract workers were creating a lot of fine dust that was coming down from the ceiling in Mesa Vista Hall. My lungs and throat began to constrict and it was becoming difficult for me to breathe.
Jessica Spurrier, the SHAC health educa-tion manager, saw me in Mesa Vista Hall and noticed how bad I was and made sure I got to SHAC. Immediately, the medical staff as-sessed me and took me to a treatment room
and treated me with a shot of Benadryl for the allergic reaction I was having to all the fine dust I had breathed into my lungs.
If it weren’t for these people, I do not want to know what could have happened. I would like to let the UNM community know that we have top-notch medical personnel on cam-pus at SHAC. Thank you.
Reuben EstradaUNM staff
Editor,I am writing in response to the column by
Babu G. Ranganathan. It is true that we have little scientific evidence that the first DNA mol-ecule formed by chance. Many believe that DNA was formed from the template of another, self-reproducing molecule. And, as Rangana-than points out, there is no scientific evidence of the existence of God.
There is also no scientific evidence of aliens putting humans on earth, giant space worms living below ground controlling everything, or a variety of other things that I can think of.
In science class, we are supposed to teach things that are discovered and tested using the scientific method. We are only supposed to teach things for which there is direct evidence. Just because I can think of a possible way that DNA came into existence doesn’t mean I’m al-lowed to teach it without evidence. The study of theology and religion does not belong in
science class, because it is not science. I don’t go barging into English literature classes de-manding that biology be taught.
And, contrary to what Ranganathan writes, there is scientific evidence for what he terms “macroevolution” (a fallacious term coined by proponents of intelligent design — microevo-lution and macroevolution are the same thing). It is very childish to assume that small changes that are well documented (evolution of drug re-sistance, for example) could not add up over a very long amount of time to yield large changes. The existence of similarities between animals is very good evidence of evolution. Also, to deny the evidence of the fossil record is to willingly deceive oneself.
Finally, I would like to address his comment that “the mathematical odds of even the sim-plest DNA molecule coming into existence by chance is comparable to a monkey typing the sequence of all the letters and words in a dic-tionary by randomly hitting keys on a comput-er keyboard.” This assumes there is only one monkey doing this for his entire lifetime. In-stead, assume there are trillions upon trillions of
monkeys (because there are trillions upon tril-lions of chemical reactions taking place across the universe). In fact, the number of monkeys is essentially infinite.
Let us imagine that the almost infinite num-ber of monkeys is given billions of years to type out a very simple sentence. Doesn’t seem so un-reasonable now, does it? Now imagine that after this sentence was formed, there was enormous selective pressure for that sentence to evolve. Oh wait, this metaphor is ridiculous, because the system of evolution is nothing like mon-keys randomly typing on a keyboard. Because the system of evolution is actually complicated and requires several upper-level courses to tru-ly understand, people like Ranganathan like to reduce it to metaphors that are convenient to them and have little to do with reality.
The purpose of this letter is not to deny the existence of God; it is simply to dispel misin-formation and to point out that the existence of God should not be discussed in science class.

In Thursday’s Daily Lobo, Breann Burton wrote that UNM’s anti-smoking policy is un-fair to smokers because the University has failed to label many smoking areas on cam-pus. Readers on DailyLobo.com had a few comments about it.
Dr. Arthur Frederick IdePosted Thursday“Secondhand smoke is full of toxins, and
is dangerous to anyone who breathes it in.… One of the toxic by-products of cigarette smoke is hydrogen cyanide. Smokers inhale it with every puff they take. This same chemical was used as a genocidal agent during World War II.… All smoking should be immediately prohibited, outlawed, and smokers labeled criminals with intent to cause death and great bodily harm.”
Danny LeePosted Thursday“That will require changes by Congress.
Congress will not outlaw tobacco, because the lobbyists won’t let that happen. And we know that outlawing behaviors doesn’t change be-havior. Look at the period of Prohibition, where people openly flouted a law they felt was a restriction on their freedoms.… The original respondent is correct: UNM owes the smoking population clear signage showing where smoking is permitted.”
TerryPosted Thursday“Smoking should have been outlawed de-
cades ago. First of all is the horrible stench, trash, health costs and wasted time employ-ers have to pay for. Pure vanity — not a choice. You students didn’t start because you had to, but because you are ‘cool.’”
EmilyPosted Thursday“I do not see the problem with smoking at
all. I do not smoke, and when I find someone else smoking in front of me or near me, I sim-ply walk away. I don’t understand why others cannot do the same. I understand how harm-ful smoking can be, which is why I don’t do it.… Everyone is allowed to make their own choices (smoke or eat unhealthy food) when it comes to their own bodies.”

Editor,While I share William Valentine’s frustra-
tions with the unfair treatment that veterans are receiving, I have to disagree with him about the draft being an antidote.
First of all, if equitability is one of Valentine’s concerns, the current draft sign-up law is sexu-ally discriminatory against men. Even handi-capped men and fathers of little children have to register, while able-bodied women without children to care for don’t.
Of the 25 congresswomen in 1980 who vot-ed for resumption of male-only registration,
not a single one of them, to my knowledge, ever served in the military as a volunteer, much less as a draftee. If it were up to me, these 25 women who are still alive and in good health would all be drafted in place of male (or female) 18-year-olds.
Second (and most important), the draft would further prolong this useless Middle East-ern adventure by supplying the president and Pentagon with unlimited cannon fodder and support personnel. The lack of personnel acts as a break on further involvement. As more sol-diers desert or refuse to fight, President Obama will eventually be forced to pull out or, at the very least, to quit using U.S. military personnel.
Had it not been for the draft, we prob-ably would never have fought in the equally
pointless conflicts of Korea and Vietnam. It was President Eisenhower’s desire to shrink military personnel with the “New Look” military in the early 1950s that motivated him to seek a cease-fire in Korea by 1953 and to prevent the use of U.S. ground troops in Vietnam, at least while he was in office.
The war in the Middle East has nothing to do with national security but instead is caused by our overdependence on the private auto-mobile. Put in more mass transit and we could drastically lessen our dependence on the very oil that plunged us into the Middle East in the first place.

AW: What we absolutely have to do is revitalize our economy in order that we can create better jobs and the kind of jobs that will keep our young people home because they want to be here. You just can’t blame them for leav-ing if there isn’t a job for them. I have a plan to revitalize this economy, and we are going to revitalize the econ-omy in New Mexico within a couple of years. I’m going to say that we’re going to be able to see effects within two years and it will have a momen-tum that will carry forward. I can’t guarantee that the class of 2011 — if I’m elected governor next year — will have a quick fix. I can’t do that, but I can begin to take those steps where people will see a light at the end of the tunnel.
DL: Does your campaign and your platform involve sustainability?
AW: What you may not know — what a lot of people don’t know — is that I’m an organic farmer. I got into organic farming in 1992, and we raise organic raspberries. If you were to go to La Montanita Co-op at Nob Hill or down on Rio Grande during raspber-ry season, you’re going to be buying my raspberries. I have a keen appre-ciation for the environment, for sus-tainable agriculture, and for things that we need to fix. We know we need to fix (it), only what do we do about it? Can you imagine the number of plas-tic bottles that go into a landfill in ev-ery community? It is enormous. We
are creating problems for ourselves. One of the programs I’ve got is to put a deposit fee on plastic bottles and then turn around and incentivize people to return bottles. We can create incentiv-ized plans to reduce stuff going into our landfills and back into recycling.
DL: Can you tell me about some of your main platforms, such as New Mexico’s education system or the public safety priority?
AW: I’ve seen two studies in the last three months. One said 46 percent and one said 54 percent of kids drop out. Well, let’s just take the two, 46 and 54; that averages to about 50 — we’ll call it half. You’ll hear that in my com-ments on Tuesday, too. Half the kids don’t graduate from high school in this state. You know they’re not going to UNM or Eastern. They just don’t go to school. Here’s what’s worse — and I’ve had government personnel direc-tors tell me this: All they’re looking for is people who are literate to drive a pickup truck. They have to turn those people who don’t graduate away. The schools are failing, and we’re spitting out almost half our kids who are vir-tually illiterate. So that’s why we lose these companies to other states. They are inextricably linked together — economic development and educa-tion — and you’ve got to fix it. There is always an escape, but not for those who are left behind.

submitted to them,” Kase said. “That’s why it’s so critical that the résumés are done well to capture the employer’s interest or to even get an interview.”
Kase said many employers receive hundreds of applications for a single job — something almost unheard of before the recession.
Steven Rappuhn, a UNM business
major with a concentration in entre-preneurial studies, said Career Week is a good idea for people who want to get a job now and after graduation.
“I think that, regardless of your major, it’s important to have an im-pressive résumé and interviewing skills,” he said. “It shows a potential employer that you are responsible and would make a good employee.”
Rappuhn said Career Week will be great preparation for the Ander-son Career Fair.
“It’s cool to have a Career Fair at UNM, but if you aren’t prepared to talk to employers, then it’s kind of pointless,” Rappuhn said. “I think that having a whole week before-hand to practice will help a lot of people.”

For Inuit, global warming hits home by Charles J. Hanley
The associated press
TUKTOYAKTUK, Northwest Ter-ritories — Caught between rising seas and land melting beneath their mukluk-shod feet, the villagers of Tuktoyaktuk are doing what anyone would do on this windy Arctic coast-line. They’re building windmills.
That’s wind-power turbines, to be exact — a token, first try at “get-ting rid of this fossil fuel we’re us-ing,” said Mayor Merven Gruben.
It’s a token of irony, too: People little to blame, but feeling it most, are doing more to stop global warm-ing than many of “you people in the south,” as Gruben calls the rest of us who fill the skies with greenhouse gases.
They’re feeling climate change not only in this lonely corner of northwest Canada, but in a wide cir-
cle at the top of the world, stretching from Alaska through the Siberian tundra, into northern Scandinavia and Greenland, and on to Canada’s eastern Arctic islands, a circle em-bracing more than 300,000 indige-nous people, including Gruben and the 800 other Inuvialuit, or Inuit, of the village they know as “Tuk.”
Since 1970, temperatures have risen more than 2.5 degrees C (4.5 degrees F) in much of the Arctic, much faster than the global aver-age. People in Tuk say winters are less numbing, with briefer spells of minus-40 C (minus-40 F) tempera-tures. They sense it in other ways, too, small and large.
“The mosquitoes got bigger,” the mayor’s aunt, Tootsie Lugt, 48, told a visitor to her children-filled house overlooking Tuk harbor.
Her father, one-time fur trapper Eddie Gruben, spoke of more out-
sized interlopers from the south.“Them killer whales, first time
people seen them here in the har-bor, three or four of them this sum-mer,” said the 89-year-old patriarch of Tuk’s biggest family and biggest business, a contracting firm.
Plants and animals are a tip-off everywhere. In northeast Canada, the Nunatsiaq News advised read-ers the red-breasted birds they spotted this spring were American robins.
But the change runs deeper as well, undermining ways of life.
The later fall freeze-up, earlier spring break-up and general weak-ening of sea ice make snowmobile travel more perilous. A trip to the next island can end in a fatal plunge through thin ice.

weather combine with a changing animal world to make hunting and fishing more challenging, and to crimp the traditional diet of “niqi-tuinnaq,” or “real food” — caribou, seal and other meat staples.
The resilient Inuit — Eskimos — of the past simply moved on to better places. But since the mid-
20th century these ex-nomads have been tied to settlements, with all the buildings, utilities, roads and trou-ble that represents in a warming world.
At Tuk’s graveyard, for example, white crosses stand off-kilter where the permafrost has heaved and sunk below. “In another 20 years I’ll be
burying my relatives again,” Gus Gruben, 45, the mayor’s brother, said sadly as he surveyed the graves of forebears that will someday have to be moved.
Just yards away, the sound of Tuk eroding could be heard: The steel-gray Arctic Ocean crashed against a beach barrier of small boulders.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — For what it’s worth, Saturday’s 41-6 bend-over-the-lap spanking was probably more a case of Tex-as A&M progressing, rather than the UNM football team regressing, even though last year the Lobos fell respectably to the Aggies, 28-22 at home.
In first-year head coach Mike Locksley’s debut, the Lobos did everything but light up the score-board, as Locksley had promised when he was introduced to re-place former coach Rocky Long in December. Saturday’s contest marks the fourth time the Lobos have failed to score a touchdown in their season opener.
“I don’t think the score is in-dicative of the kind of team we have,” Locksley said. “We have to go watch some tape and get some things corrected.”
About the only positive the Lobos could take from Saturday’s whipping was that Donovan Por-terie completed 29 of 40 passes for the Lobos in his first start since
tearing ligaments in his right knee in the fourth game last season. Still, the Aggies breached UNM’s front line, sacking Porterie on five occasions.
Meanwhile, Texas A&M finally seems to be moving in the right direction.
Jerrod Johnson threw for 349 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score to lead the Aggies to a 41-6 win over New Mexico on Saturday.
Johnson completed 31 of 41 passes, and Cyrus Gray and Chris-tine Michael added touchdown runs for the Aggies, who piled up 606 yards. Johnson tossed a 42-yard pass to freshman Uzoma Nwachukwu on A&M’s first pos-session and scrambled for a 16-yard touchdown with 9:52 left in the opening quarter. The Aggies dominated from the start and built a 20-3 halftime lead.
Defensively, the Aggies, ranked among the nation’s worst in 2008, turned in a stalwart effort against the Lobos.
Sherman was pleasantly sur-prised with how well the unit played in the opener.
UNM’s Ian Clark, left, dives for Texas A&M’s Cyrus Gray during the second quarter of the Lobos’ first game, held Saturday in College Station, Texas. The Lobos lost 41-6.

“I was really impressed with the way they tackled,” Sherman said. “In the first ball game, you always worry if you’re going to be able to tackle. They did a good job of wrapping up people. The defense showed up to play.”
Besides holding the Lobos to six points, the Aggies forced four fumbles, recovering two, and held UNM to 231 yards of total offense.
James Aho was the Lobos’ only source of points. He booted two field goals, one with 13 seconds
left in the first half to complete UNM’s best drive of the game.

has been on collecting core talent, but also improving the program’s image of selflessness.
“It seems like we have a real co-hesive group and guys are playing for each other,” Fishbein said. “Now we feel fortunate here at UNM to put to-gether a collection of players that are very talented.”
Yet, rarely will you hear Fishbein take credit for that.
In a way, he doesn’t mind if his players take over and represent UNM soccer, something that’s less common among mainstream college athlet-ics like football and basketball, where coaches, not players, are usually the face of the program.
“This is the players’ program. It’s the players’ team,” Fishbein said. “Wins and losses are going to be dic-tated by players’ performances.”
Fishbein learned how to run a Di-vision I soccer program from his men-tor, former UNM head soccer coach Klaus Weber. Fishbein was Weber’s
understudy and served as associate head coach during the 2001 season after leaving the Division II coaching ring.
Fishbein said teaching is just as rewarding to him as drawing up the X’s and O’s of soccer. He said he dis-agrees with the common perception that coaching and teaching are sepa-rate professions.
And he takes his role as an educa-tor seriously, Cartlidge said.
“Jeremy is all about helping his players become young men, leaders and good soccer players,” Cartlidge said. “Everything he does is geared to-ward that.”
It’s not only about soccer. It’s about life.
“Everything is always about men-tal discipline,” Fishbein said. “You have to learn how to deal with the ups and downs of the seasons and how to deal with things when they aren’t go-ing your way.”
Junfu Han / Daily LoboDespite having an extended period of success as men’s soccer head coach, Jeremy Fishbein, far right, would rather have his players be the face of the program.

the Lobos’ Achilles’ heel last year. “We just don’t want to get too sure of ourselves. We want to be humble. Talent-wise, we were great, but we came out every game thinking we were going to win, no problem.”
And they did, for the most part. The Lobos’ 2008 campaign wasn’t particularly terrible — they finished 11-6-2, but missed out on an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
In spite of its relative success, the team was a bit dysfunctional. For instance, on two occasions last year, the Lobos surrendered leads — to Louisville and Wash-ington — and both times lost the game. Records show those types of breakdowns hardly ever happen to Fishbein-coached teams. When scoring first, UNM is 83-5-9, tak-ing into account those two blown margins last season.
Wilson said that not having player-initiated leadership — the coach can only say so much — spawned much of the Lobos’ problems.
Every win, too, was an incuba-tor for increased egotism — even in an up-and-down year, he said.
“We were maybe trying to get it done by ourselves too much, try-ing to dribble a little too much last year,” Wilson said. “We didn’t have the chemistry as a team (and) just didn’t click. It was just an off year for us.”
Nothing was more telling than
how the Lobos handled a rough patch stretching from Sep. 12 to Oct. 3. Their disunity was high-lighted, in the same stroke of the brush, by a peak win over then-No. 1 Akron and a valley loss to Cal Poly two days later, which was fol-lowed by a three-game road trip where the Lobos went 0-2-1.
But Wilson said it was ap-parent the Lobos had a problem even before that. He said the win over Akron only reinforced what the team already assumed about themselves.
“I thought it was the whole season, right from the beginning, even before we beat Akron,” he said about the Lobos’ superiority complex.
If that was the case, UNM was rudely awakened by sobering loss-es in that three-week period. They went 8-2 after that, but the damage was irreversible.
As a result, Wilson said UNM labored all off-season, adamant about ridding itself of an intoxi-cated sense of self-worth — and a propensity to coast on pure ap-titude — which haunted them throughout the ’08 campaign.
“We switched gears last spring, starting right after Christmas break,” Wilson said. “We’ve been on it, working as hard as we can every day — running in the moun-tains, the sand dunes. That defi-nitely helped us realize that we needed to work a lot harder at
what we’re trying to get to.”However, now the Lobos have
another kink to work out, this one less daunting: overcompensation.
What would have been shots in the past were passes on Saturday. In the 84th minute of a scoreless game, UNM parlayed an offensive attack from the Dons into a break-away. But instead of unfurling a shot right on frame, the Lobos chose to make the extra pass to the left wing, whereupon Blake Smith’s ray whizzed wide of the goal. The Dons got the go-ahead goal two minutes later.
Needless to say, Fishbein said that pass should’ve been a shot.
“We had a bunch of chances and guys either rushed their shot or they took an extra touch,” he said.
Because of the inexorable fear of relapse, one side effect of so-briety is strict abstinence. Quite conceivably, that’s what the Lobos suffered from on Saturday — all of them apprehensive to reinvite selfish tendencies. Still, there are times when it’s suitable to take a swig of liquid courage. And then there are times when it’s appropri-ate to pass the bottle around.
As with everything, the key is moderation.
“We should be greedy more of-ten,” forward Michael Green said. “We passed the ball well, but we definitely need to take our shots.”
Teamwork from page 12
one opening (and) you can lose,” Fishbein said.
The second half opened up more for both teams, but much as in the first half, neither team threatened in front of goal. UNM continued to supply pressure, but the Lobos could not get off a clean shot.
The Dons happily sat back and absorbed UNM’s aggressiveness, pressing on the counterattack. Eventually it paid off with Chinn’s late-game goal.
“It’s a humbling experience, but I think it keeps our feet on the ground and will make us work harder,”
Ejdemyr said.The competition will only get
more brutal for the Lobos. Like UNM’s last two games, its next two will again be against ranked teams on the road. The Lobos will meet No. 6 Indiana Friday, before facing No. 12 Notre Dame two days later.

Wine hath drowned more men than the sea. So, too, has overcon� dence.
All last season, the UNM men’s soccer team battled to maintain humble sobriety — and lost.
Liquored up on success — and drunk with talent — the Lobos ever-so-slightly reduced their investment in altruism, instead turning toward sel� shness.
Understandably: Winning, much like alcohol, makes for insatiable ad-dicts. But because of a dependence on sheer talent, the Lobos played out of character, neglecting some-thing that was a stronghold for past teams, something that helped the Lobos win six Mountain Paci� c Fed-eration titles and earn a trip to the NCAA National Championship in 2005. And something that is a staple of teams led by Jeremy Fishbein.
Too often UNM sipped from the � ask of self-assurance, yet not enough from the vat of work ethic, forward P.J. Wilson said.
“We were more of a talented team instead of a hard-working team,” said Wilson, adding that this was

Jeremy Fishbein is, and always has been, a knowledgeable soccer coach.
His .666 career winning percent-age is an indication of that.
Fishbein has 87 wins in 125 games coached during his seven years at UNM, including one national cham-pionship appearance in 2005.
Still, all those achievements take a backseat to what Fishbein truly wants to accomplish at UNM, said assistant head coach Chris Cartlidge.
“He wants his players to be good husbands and businessmen,” Car-tlidge said. “He loves the game of soccer — to win and for the UNM program to be successful — but ev-erything is directed toward his play-ers becoming better people.”

by Mario TrujilloDaily Lobo
There is no doubt about who is the trigger man for the UNM men’s soccer team: Justin Davis.
And he’s not gun-shy. The senior forward is coming
into his final season with a chance to make it into the Lobo record books. Davis, who has 40 career points, has racked up 14 career goals and 12 assists — a goal counts for two points when it comes to record-keeping — and still has a season left to pad his stats. Davis could also etch his name on Lobo soccer’s top-10 all-time list in al-most every offensive category.
He needs five goals, two assists and eight points to break into the top 10 in each category — goals, assists and points.
In Saturday’s loss to San Fran-cisco University, Davis took a team-high five shots, none of which found the back of the net.
Head coach Jeremy Fishbein said that Davis’ shots will come. The important thing is that he is looking for them.
“The hard thing to teach is for people to put themselves in good situations, and he is a guy who scores goals,” he said. “I think he probably just put a lot of pressure on himself, and he was a bit un-lucky tonight, and I’m sure next time he’ll find the goal.”
For better or worse, Davis wears
his emotions on his sleeve, and on Saturday, he showed clear signs of frustration. He kicked the wall twice after botched shots.
“That was anger with myself, not with the team,” he said. “I probably should internalize it a little bit more, but the atmosphere here kind of brought it out.”
Former forward Chris Wright, who played with Davis for three years and occasionally does soccer commentary for GoLobos.com, re-members Davis’ passion above all his other qualities.
“I think he definitely has a lot of fire when he plays,” Wright said. “He always gets sucked in on the tackles. He plays with a lot of en-ergy and uses his physical gifts to his advantage.”
Davis did his best to mask his cagey side in a post-game inter-view, remaining stoic after the Lobos endured a stinging 1-0 loss to San Francisco.
“It is something we are used to,” he said. “We have lost openers be-fore. We can’t dwell on it.”
If Davis can convert his anger into energy for the Lobos, Wright said UNM will be a dangerous team this season.
“He was always a physical pres-ence and a guy who worked ex-tremely hard on both sides of the ball — always giving his full effort,” Wright said. “A lot of that determi-nation and that grit led to a lot of his success.”

by Nathan FarmerDaily Lobo
Even with 17 shots, the UNM men’s soccer team didn’t make San Francisco’s goalkeeper Brendan Roslund break much of a sweat.
� at’s because the Lobos shot only twice on goal. Roslund saved both.
In a defensive battle, the Lobos outshot the Dons 17-6. After nu-merous chances to score, UNM re-gretted missing opportunities, head coach Jeremy Fishbein said, and al-lowed No. 22 San Francisco to con-vert on a defensive mistake in the 86th minute. Conor Chinn scored the only goal of the game, and the Dons won 1-0.
� e game appeared headed for overtime until Chinn broke free and went one-on-one with Lobo goal-keeper Justin Fite after a defensive lapse on the Lobos’ part.
“I think one player just stepped forward and the other dropped,” Fishbein said, adding that he couldn’t tell from his vantage point if Chinn was o� side. “It was just a miscommunication in the defense.”
Senior defender Simon Ejdemyr
said it was a tough way to lose.“We played very solid and domi-
nated most of the game and lost by an unlucky bounce,” he said.
UNM’s � rst good chance was when Justin Davis got behind the defense and slammed a ball o� the crossbar, but he was called o� side. Later, Ejdemyr popped two head-ers but could not keep them on tar-get. � e Lobos’ best chance to score came in the 44th minute after for-ward Michael Green met a cross with a powerful header in the box, but Roslund was in position to make the save.
“Even though we dominated, when you can’t � nish in the � nal third (of the game), you give a team Junfu Han / Daily Lobo
