Albuquerque high school stu-dents seem willing to buckle down and meet the proposed admission standards the Board of Regents is dis-cussing today.

Manzano High School student Jessica Broomhall said UNM should raise the bar and encourage students to succeed in high school.

“Being in high school and look-ing at the majority of students with me, they don’t really care or work hard, but they can pretty much get into New Mexico colleges pretty easi-ly,” Broomhall said. “I think requiring more courses and more work will be really good. It would help people stay more focused.”

� e altered standards would raise the required GPA from 2.25 to 2.5 and the required college credits to 16 from 13. � ese credits are to be discussed at today’s Regents meeting.

Raised admission standards would put UNM in league with more prestigious universities, said Eldora-do High School student Joe Mendo-za. Students who want to apply else-where already need to meet equal or more di� cult terms.

SANTA FE — � e UNM Board of Regents will now decide how to stop the bleeding from the deep cuts formed by the Legislature’s special session.

� e special session adjourned late last week after four days in ses-sion. � e Legislature decided to cut $100 million in government spend-ing and approved $240 million in tax increases.

And the � nal � gure approved by the Legislature for tuition credit, or the amount UNM must increase tuition, is 5 percent for four-year institutions and 9 percent for two-year institutions, such as branch campuses.

Marc Saavedra, director of the UNM O� ce of Government and Community Relations, said this was the fourth time the Legislature has made cuts to government spending in the past year, which makes deal-ing with the aftermath routine.

“We have been seeing ourselves getting cut,” he said. “It’s been kind of slow bleeding.”

Rep. Andrew Barreras (D-Valencia) said the process was di� cult, but legislators did what they could to further funding for education.

“I am a little disheartened by the process,” he said. “We tried help-ing education the best way we knew how.”

Saavedra said he was pleased with UNM’s achievements, includ-ing the work they did to keep down tuition credit and preserve faculty salaries.

“We achieved quite a bit,” he said. “We would have liked to have kept the tuition credit down to zero, but at one time they had out-of-state-tu-ition at 18 percent and we were able to reduce that.”

Saavedra said tuition increases will be covered by the Lottery Schol-arship, however only about 20 per-cent of students on main campus re-ceive lottery funds.

Saavedra said keeping the tuition increases down was attributable to tax increases enacted by the state.

“If we hadn’t had revenue en-hancements, then we were looking at an 8 percent cut,” he said.

Lawmakers approved a 5.125 percent increase to the gross receipt

In 1854, U.S. Commodore Matthew C. Perry made his second landing in Japan; within a month, he concluded a treaty with the Japanese.

In1862, during the Civ-il War, the ironclad CSS Vir-ginia rammed and sank the USS Cumberland and heavily damaged the USS Congress,

both frigates, off Newport News, Va.

In 1874, the 13th president of the United States, Millard Fillmore, died in Buffalo, N.Y., at age 74.

In 1917, Russia’s “Febru-ary Revolution” (so called be-cause of the Old Style calen-dar being used by Russians at the time) began with rioting and strikes in Petrograd.

Core curriculum under reviewby Andrew Beale

Daily Lobo

Greg Evans, events coordinator for UNM’s Core Curriculum Task Force, has a vivid example to illus-trate the problems he said he per-ceives in UNM’s core curriculum.

“I have a student in my (English) class who has a Master’s degree in Rhetoric and Writing. Her under-graduate core credits didn’t transfer, so now she has to take a class from me that she’s qualified to teach,” he said.

The Core Curriculum Task Force was set up by the University in Au-gust. Its goal is to come up with a set of recommendations for the Univer-sity to help improve its core curricu-lum requirements.

The Task Force held a meeting in

the SUB on Friday to listen to student input. After taking the student input into account (including reviewing the results of a five-question survey distributed by the Task Force), it will make final recommendations to the administration May 15.

Sixty or so students, faculty and staff were present at the meeting. Student Melissa Gonzales said she came to the meeting because she is unhappy with the core requirement system in place.

“I came because I do a lot of complaining about UNM in general. It’s frustrating with all the red tape,” she said. “I’m hoping they’ll broad-en the core requirements and open them up to other fields. Sometimes I feel like I’m paying for a degree, not earning it.”

Student Gael Whettnall was on hand to pass around a petition asking the University to add a Sus-tainability Studies class to the core curriculum.

“I feel that in this day and age, we need to teach students about the en-vironmental problems in the world,” he said.

The Task Force is divided into five subcommittees: Educational Values, Learning Outcomes, Gener-al Education Models, Writing Across

GPSA: convince us to fund Daily Loboby Tricia Remark

Daily Lobo

The Graduate and Professional Student Association delayed the decision to fund the Daily Lobo for a second time.

Erin Phillips, GPSA Theatre and Dance representative, proposed to give $15,803.25 to the student newspaper during GPSA’s meet-ing on Saturday. This amount is equivalent to $2.85 from each of the 5,545 graduate students.

“I would like to see funding happen, but obviously some coun-cil members don’t agree with me,” said Danny Hernandez, GPSA chair.

Some representatives claimed that graduate students don’t read the Lobo as much as

undergraduates do, and therefore shouldn’t fund the paper.

“We always have money, but we probably don’t want to spend money on this,” said Sean Donnel-ly, GPSA finance chair.

He said graduate students shouldn’t decide to allocate mon-ey to the Daily Lobo until they have secured their own budget. He said he is working on an up-to-date budget for the next meeting.

Hernandez said GPSA mem-bers will request that a represen-tative from the Daily Lobo present GPSA members with reasons why the newspaper needs graduate student money.

Jim Fisher, Daily Lobo busi-ness manager, said the newspaper may go into debt by the end of this year, although he is not sure by

how much. “Our advertising revenue will

probably not meet the budget for this year,” Fisher said.

He said ASUNM funding makes up 5 percent of the Lobo’s budget, and the rest comes from advertis-ing revenue.

Phillips said she tried to pass legislation to give the Lobo grad-uate student funds when the un-dergraduate student government, ASUNM, asked for help funding the newspaper.

Alicia Barry, ASUNM senator, said ASUNM doesn’t want to cut funding unless other groups can give funds to the Daily Lobo, in-cluding GPSA and Faculty Senate. She said she will be meeting with

Editor,After a short recess, the Daily Lobo has re-

newed its tradition of granting free publicity to anti-Israel groups on campus. On Tuesday, a long letter advertising the “Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East” was published; perhaps in order to express solidarity with the Israeli Apartheid week, which was celebrated around the globe, mostly in universities.

It is unfortunate that the Daily Lobo con-tinues to advertise these groups without a se-rious inquiry of their true agenda. � e reason for the abundance of terms such as “justice,” “peace” and “human rights” that appear in the letter is to disguise the real aim of that group.

It has nothing to do whatsoever with pursuing human rights or justice; in reality the group’s activities deal solely with the denouncement of Israel. One only needs to be present in their “informational” talks, movies and other pro-pagandistic events to easily realize that. Its aim is to null the legitimacy of the existence of a Jewish state; it has no concern with human rights or peace.

If this group was indeed concerned with the human rights situation in the Middle East, it would have presented frightening facts that most of the world is not even aware of. It would have tried to raise awareness of unbelievable human rights violations. Sadly, examples are almost endless, from brutal oppression of the Kurds in Turkey and Syria to tens of thousands of Arabs or Muslims that were slaughtered only in the last year on Arab lands. According to that “human rights” group, when Arabs kill,

torture or oppress people it is natural — in its view of double standards for Jews and Arabs to promote justice.

� e shallow comparison of Israel and South African apartheid is fraudulent and primitive. Israel is the only “apartheid” nation where Arabs are in key positions in the high court, parliament and hospitals. It is the only “apartheid” nation where a minority is terri-� ed by the slightest proposal to join its own people to change from an Israeli to Palestin-ian citizenship. � ese racist ideas of remov-ing any kind of responsibility from Arabs, and putting the blame only on Jews need to be abandoned. Maybe then some progress will happen.

Yuval CarmiUNM student

Editor,During Israel Apartheid Week, conduct-

ed on campuses around the globe, the time has come to go on the attack, and to put the shoe on the other foot.

In 1948, apartheid laws institutionalized racial discrimination in South Africa and de-nied human rights to 25 million people.

In 1948, the Arab League of Nations ap-plied the apartheid model to Palestine, and declared that Jews must be denied rights as citizens of Israel, while declaring a total state of war to eradicate the new Jewish entity, a war that continues today.

In 1948, at the directive of the Arab League of Nations, Jordan devastated the vestiges of Jewish life from Judea and Samaria, and burned all synagogues in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem.

In 1948, member states of the Arab League of Nations began to strip the human rights of

Jews and to expel entire Jewish communities who had resided in their midst for centuries.

In the mid 1960s, � e Arab League of Na-tions spawned the Palestine Liberation Or-ganization to organize local residents to con-tinue the war to deny Jews the right to live as free citizens in the land of Israel — well be-fore Israel took over Judea, Samaria and the Old City of Jerusalem in the defensive war waged by Israel in 1967.

And since its inception in 1994, the newly constituted Palestinian Authority, created by the PLO, has prepared the rudiments of a Pal-estinian state, modeled on the rules of apart-heid and institutionalized discrimination.

1) � e right of Palestinian Arab refugees and their descendents to return to Arab vil-lages lost in 1948 will be protected by the new Palestinian state.

2) While 20 percent of Israel’s citizens are Arabs, not one Jew will be allowed to live in a Palestinian state.

3) Anyone who sells land to a Jew will be liable to the death penalty in the Palestinian state.

4) � ose who murder Jews are honored on all o� cial Palestinian media outlets.

5) Palestinian authority maps prepared for the Palestinian state depict all of Pales-tine under Palestinian rule.

6) PA maps of Jerusalem for the Palestin-ian state once again delete the Jewish Quar-ter of Jerusalem.

7) Recent PA documents claim all of Jeru-salem for the future Palestinian state.

8) � e right of Jewish access to Jewish holy places is to be denied in the new Pal-estinian state.

9) � e Draft Palestinian State Constitu-tion denies juridical status to any religion except Islam.

10) No system that protects human rights or civil liberties will exist in the Palestinian state.

If that is not a formula for a totalitarian apartheid state of Palestine, then what is?

Jake ChaletUNM alumnus

Editor,� e Legislature should have balanced the

budget by docking the governor’s salary one day’s pay for every time he left the state with-out letting the lieutenant governor know. His pay should have been docked at double the rate for every time he refused to say where he went. He should be � ned a substantial amount for each time he refused to provide information to the media and the people. He should be � ned for every time he “helped” one of his buddies in so many ways — the

millions spent to pay for state investments that did not bene� t the state.

� is huge de� cit is his fault — he hired many people and overpaid them. He claims to have let 59 employees go; however, he will not provide their names, and it seems that several just transferred to another position. He inherited a � nancial situation that was in good shape. However, he found ways to spend money that appear to have been to enhance his pro� le when he ran for presi-dent. He bought a jet for himself that he did not need.

� e number of people he hired to work for him is perhaps three times the number of people hired by former Governor Gary Johnson. It often appears that he and his

friends are above the law that and he has no concerns about what his policies and prac-tices are doing to our state and the people. He most certainly would not allow cutbacks in the tax breaks that he, like Bush, gave to wealthy New Mexicans. He approves of re-instating the food tax — which will greatly harm the poor.

� ese actions along with others that have been and are being investigated could be called ethically criminal. Richardson has harmed the wallets of New Mexicans, so his wallet should be part of the solution.

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS:

THIS WEEK’S POLL:

Unemployment rates are high and un-likely to fall anytime soon. With millions of jobless Americans facing unemploy-ment for an uncertain amount of time, religion seems to be the source of inspi-ration to continue onward. The New York Times printed a story about a born again former X-rated standup comic in this very same situation. She said she has gone two years without a paycheck or unemploy-ment, and that only health insurance is her Christianity. Do you see a signi� cant rise of stories like this in your life?

Out of 54 responses

The U.S. started mediation between In-dia and Pakistan over water rights. As both countries’ technology and popula-tions grow, the demand for water is in-creasing past the point of sustainability. The leadership of Lashkar-e-Taiba — the terrorist group who carried out the Mum-bai attacks — warned that “Muslims dy-ing of thirst would drink the blood of In-dia.” Scientists have been warning that with global warming and overpopula-tion there would be a � ght over water. If America was forced to � ght its neighbors, would you support a war over water?

Yes, I have noticed a lot of people turn-ing to religion in this time of need

Yes, these pretzels are making me thirsty!

Yes, but I have always had people around me that are religious.

Yes, we need to maintain the U.S as number one.

No, I haven’t seen an increase of inter-est in religion.

No, water is everyone’s resource — we need to share.

No, but I haven’t really ever been re-ligious, and I don’t know people who are.

No, not if I have to kill someone for a glass of water.

Dem encourages Latinos to pursue Ph.D.s

how you do in high school, “ he said. “You can basically coast through high school and get in. It’s not a hard thing to do.”

� e changes could act as both a motivator and a weeding-out mech-anism, said Eldorado High School teacher Sheldon Richards.

“� ere is sort of a lot of attitude that no matter how well you do in high school you will still make it into UNM, so there is not a lot of pressure,” he said. “I think it’s likely that this will sort of � lter out some people that maybe wouldn’t have been success-ful at UNM otherwise.”

Eldorado student Nick Schneider said most people will adhere to the changes with little di� culty.

“Most people don’t want to take math their senior year and when they go to college they are behind one year,” he said. “I think most peo-ple will just step up, but there will be those few kids on the side that will be like, ‘Screw this. We will go to CNM or something.’”

Sarah Sariñana, a Manzano stu-dent, said higher standards will un-fairly shut doors to some students, but they need to be prepared for col-lege level classes.

“I know for some people, school is harder for them, so if you change the requirements for GPA they might not be able to get in,” she said. “UNM is raising its expectations by making

it more di� cult to get in, and in the long run it will prepare us more for college.”

UNM’s commitment to providing opportunities for students is impor-tant, but many don’t take the educa-tion seriously because they did not have to work for it, Richards said.

“I’ve always felt like one of the things New Mexico has done really well is to make it possible for a wide variety of students to attend college, and there has been a lot done to make that possible,” he said. “On the other hand, they do have a lot of freshmen that don’t make it through the � rst year. � e drop out rate is pretty high.”

Amira Gallegher, a Sandia stu-dent, said she is willing to abide by the modi� cations.

“It wouldn’t bother me; it’s not, like, that hard to take more classes,” she said. “I think it is a good idea be-cause it makes people work harder to get into UNM. It’s a good school you know and it will make people work harder to go there. I think it will upset some people but it really is better be-cause people won’t just waste away their senior year.”

Raising the academic bar for New Mexico is nice in theory, Richards said, but it is important to realize some people will be excluded from a UNM education based on high school behavior.

A group of Latin American stu-dents got an earful of good ideas about college success and leader-ship. Javier Gonzales, chairman of the New Mexico Democratic Par-ty, spoke to UNM’s League of Unit-ed Latin American Citizens at its monthly meeting Friday. He said 2 percent of Latinos earn their Ph.D. out of the 46 million who attend col-lege, and he hopes talks with Latin college students will help that num-ber rise.

“If not you, then who?” he said.Gonzales also said the num-

ber of Latino college graduates will increase and that test scores will

improve as a result of the Hispanic Education Act, which was passed during the legislative session and is awaiting Gov. Richardson’s approval.

LULAC President Joe’L Trujillo brought Gonzales to the meeting, and has plans to bring more prom-inent New Mexico Latinos to the monthly LULAC meetings to speak with students, he said.

With the opportunities to speak and work with college students in New Mexico, Gonzales said he hopes to see more leaders rise and support those changes in New Mexico.

“Take advantage of opportuni-ties in leadership roles. But if you become a leader, prepare to be tested,” he said. “Sometimes, when

you’re put in a leadership position, you want things to happen quickly, but change doesn’t always happen as fast as you want it to.”

Gonzales told stories of his expe-riences in the leadership positions he has held in his career — one be-ing a member of the Board of Re-gents for Highlands University when Manny Aragon was President.

“� is was the hardest time in my career, and I am glad for what it taught me, because it made me a better leader today,” he said.

Gonzales emphasized his role in cultivating leadership among Latino college students.

“If all I give them is awareness through my interaction with them, well, that’s a good start,” he said.

tax, a 75-cent increase on cigarette taxes and a 2 percent food tax to be mandated by cities.

Saavedra said another victory for UNM was preventing salaries from being cut. � e Legislative Finance Committee had originally proposed a 2 percent cut to all salaries.

UNM received a 3.5 percent overall reduction in government funding.

Another victory for UNM, Uni-versity Spokeswoman Susan McK-insey said the Board of Regents will decide how the budget reductions are distributed during the budget summit.

“� e legislature did not place any restrictions on how state funds com-ing to the University are to be allo-cated or how cuts are to be made,” McKinsey said in an e-mail. “� e University retained full � exibility in that regard.”

Leading up to the session, pres-idents of New Mexico universities issued a statement requesting � ex-ibility when implementing cuts mandated by the Legislature.

McKinsey said the Regents will come up with a budget based on state funding approved by the

Legislature and the amount set for tuition increases.

Saavedra said administrators will have to look at each department’s funding and decide where cuts can be made.

“Last year we all got cut,” he said. “We’ll see what happens this year. Hopefully everyone shares in bal-ancing the budget.”

Despite UNM’s successes at the Legislature, some factors are still undetermined. UNM was successful in getting the Legislature to approve 30 percent of the general obligation bonds for teaching facilities; how-ever, those bonds will have to be ap-proved by voters during the Novem-ber elections.

“Right now, because of the econ-omy, there is still concerns that the voters may not vote for GOBs,” Saavedra said.

In addition, the state budget was crafted under the assumption that the state will see a 6 percent growth rate over the next year. If this � gure is inaccurate, state legislators will have to convene for another spe-cial session and more cuts could be made.

House Speaker Ben Lujan said he

hopes to see better economic times in upcoming sessions.

“I pray that we see better days ahead,” he said. “� is was troubled waters, but we’ve kept our ship a� oat.”

Saavedra said state revenue pro-jections are still looking slim for the upcoming year, and UNM is bracing for further blows to funding.

“Hopefully this was the last round of cuts,” he said. “But we still have to prepare for possible cuts in the fall or next session.”

McKinsey said administrators have been preparing for budget shortcomings by having the provost prepare scenarios for potential cuts. She said the President’s Strategic Advisory Team has also been look-ing at ways to contain costs and in-crease revenues.

“Given the challenging economic climate, UNM fared as well as could be expected,” McKinsey said.

Saavedra said he is concerned over what future cuts could mean for UNM.

“It is still manageable. Our con-cern is how far can we continue to be cut,” he said. “We are hoping that this is going to be the last.”

correlation and between high school grades and whether students are succeeding at UNM or not, but it’s a shame to lose some of that opportu-nity,” he said.

Andres Leighton / AP PhotoU.S. Army soldiers load their duffels prior to their departure from Haiti at the airport in Port-au-Prince on Sunday. U.S. troops are withdrawing from the capital, leaving residents fearing troop departure is a sign of dwindling international interest in the plight of the Haitian people following the catastrophic Jan. 12 earthquake.

Anxiety rises as troops leave Haiti

representatives from these groups within the next few weeks to see if they can contribute.

Barry said ASUNM can’t re-duce funding unless a bill passes through ASUNM Senate, and all undergraduates have the opportu-nity to vote on the issue.

GPSA won’t decide whether to give the Daily Lobo money until its next meeting, which hasn’t been scheduled yet.

“I think, ultimately, we’ll choose the best option for all graduate students,” she said. “It just might not be the full amount that we pro-posed today.”

Fisher said GPSA used to fund

the Lobo, but about nine years ago the money stopped coming in. He said the graduate student council used to give about $1,500 annually to the newspaper.

Donnelly estimated that GPSA has about $44,000 left in the bud-get. He said that until the GPSA knows its exact budget, it wouldn’t be responsible to vote on the memorandum. He also said a bud-get from the Daily Lobo is needed so students can see exactly where their money would be going.

“I would strongly advise that we know what we’re spending money on because we’ve got to sustain ourselves,” he said.

Communities and Transfer Students.

Doug Thomas, Writing Across Communities subcommittee chair, recommended that writing skills be built into all core curriculum classes.

“It ought not to be the case that the English department is com-pletely responsible for teaching you writing skills,” he said. “Other class-es in the core should be responsible for that, too.”

Stefani Hines, Learning Out-comes subcommittee chair, said the core curriculum classes are not or-ganized together under one orga-nization, which causes confusion among students and staff.

“Here, the core curriculum does not have any ownership,” she said. “When you don’t have any

ownership, you don’t have a shared vocabulary. You’re all shooting in different directions.”

Michelle Hall Kells, chair of the Task Force, offered an anecdote about a student who lost out on ed-ucation because he was forced to spend too much time completing his core requirements.

“(This student) eventually racked up $15,000 in student loans, and he was frustrated by all the core classes he had to take,” she said. “He never finished his degree. He had to go home after three years to help his family and that’s wrong.”

Kells said the Task Force has re-ceived support from students since it started.

“We started a Facebook account, and we had 5,000 kids on it within five days of posting it,” she said.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti— U.S. troops are withdrawing from the shattered capital, leaving many Haitians anxious that the most vis-ible portion of international aid is ending even as the city is still mired in misery and vulnerable to unrest.

As troops packed their duffels and began to fly home this week-end, Haitians and some aid work-ers wondered whether U.N. peace-keepers and local police are up to the task of maintaining order. More

than a half-million people still live in vast encampments that have grown more unpleasant in recent days with the early onset of the rainy season.

Some also fear the departure of the American troops is a sign of dwindling international interest in the plight of the Haitian people following the catastrophic Jan. 12 earthquake.

“I would like for them to stay in Haiti until they rebuild the coun-try and everybody can go back to their house,” said Marjorie Louis, a 27-year-old mother of two, as she warmed a bowl of beans for her family over a charcoal fire on the fake grass of the national stadium.

U.S. officials say the long-an-ticipated draw down of troops is not a sign of waning commitment to Haiti, only a change in the na-ture of the operation. Security will now be the responsibility of the 10,000-strong U.N. peacekeeping force and the Haitian police.

A smaller number of U.S.

forces — the exact number has not yet been determined — will be needed as the U.N. and Haitian government reassert control, said Gen. Douglas Fraser, head of U.S. Southern Command, which runs the Haiti operation.

“Our mission is largely accom-plished,” Fraser said.

American forces arrived in the immediate aftermath of the quake to treat the wounded, provide emergency water and rations and help prevent a feared outbreak of violence among desperate survi-vors. They also helped reopen the airport and seaport.

There has been no widespread violence but security is a real issue. A U.N. food convoy traveling from Gonaives to Dessalines on Friday was stopped and overrun by peo-ple, who looted two trucks before peacekeepers regained control, U.N. officials said.

They managed to escort the other two back to Gonaives. There were no reports of injuries.

PITTSBURGH— A former stu-dent who had been celebrating a friend’s birthday by drinking and socializing was found dead Sunday in a Carnegie Mellon University fra-ternity house, police said.

The 22-year-old man “likely drank too much” while celebrat-ing Saturday night, police Detective Christine Williams said.

The man, whose identity wasn’t disclosed because his parents hadn’t been notified, was found Sunday afternoon by one of the friend’s roommates at the Pi Kappa Alpha house, police said. The cause of his death hadn’t been determined, but the university said foul play wasn’t suspected.

The man was a student at the University of Pittsburgh at Greens-burg, about 30 miles southeast of Carnegie Mellon. He had attended Carnegie Mellon during the 2007-08 school year, university spokesman Ken Walters said.

“The death of any young per-son is extremely sad,” Walters said

in a statement from the university, which was offering counseling to students affected by the death.

ESCONDIDO, Calif.— The bones of a 14-year-old Southern California girl who vanished more than a year ago while walking to school were discovered in a rugged, remote area, authorities said Sunday, less than a week after a registered sex offender was charged with murdering anoth-er Southern California girl, 17-year-old Chelsea King.

The search for Amber Dubois had produced few leads until King disappeared Feb. 25, last seen wear-ing running clothes in a park about 10 miles south of where Amber was last seen walking with a man. A body presumed to be Chelsea’s was found in a shallow, lakeside grave five days after Chelsea disappeared.

Searchers found Amber’s skel-etal remains early Saturday on the Pala Indian Reservation, north of San Diego, and the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office

confirmed later in the day they were hers through dental records, said Escondido Police Chief Jim Maher.

Maher declined to answer ques-tions during a news conference Sun-day because he said the discovery was part of an ongoing murder in-vestigation. He said a “lead” brought investigators to the reservation, but he did not elaborate.

“I certainly had hoped that when the day came to do a press confer-ence on Amber it would be under much different circumstances, but that was not to be,” he said.

BAGHDAD— Iraqis defied in-surgents who lobbed hand gre-nades at voters and bombed a polling station Sunday in an at-tempt to intimidate those taking part in elections that will deter-mine whether their country can overcome deep sectarian divides as U.S. forces prepare to leave.

The conclusion of the vote, however, did not spell an imme-diate end to political uncertainty.

It could be days until results come in and with the fractured nature of Iraqi politics, it could take months to form a government.

Sunnis and Shiites seemed united in one way Sunday — defi-ance in the face of violence. Many came out of polling booths wav-ing fingers dipped in purple ink in a now-iconic image synonymous with Iraq’s democracy. In one Baghdad neighborhood, relatives who had just lost a family member in a bombing walked down to the polling booth to vote.

The violence was a direct chal-lenge to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki who has gained popularity as violence across the country has plummeted.

“I voted for Nouri al-Maliki be-cause I trust him as a man who succeeded in getting rid of mili-tias and building a strong state,” said Saadi Mahdi, a 43-year old engineer in the southern oil city of Basra. It was there that al-Maliki first established himself as a lead-er willing to go against his fellow Shiites when he routed militias aligned with anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

WASHINGTON— The virus that causes AIDS can hide in the bone marrow, avoiding drugs and later awakening to cause illness, accord-ing to new research that could point the way toward better treatments for the disease.

Finding that hide-out is a first step, but years of research lie ahead.

Dr. Kathleen Collins of the Uni-versity of Michigan and her col-leagues report in this week’s edition of the journal Nature Medicine that the HIV virus can infect long-lived bone marrow cells that eventually convert into blood cells.

The virus is dormant in the bone marrow cells, she said, but when those progenitor cells develop into blood cells, it can be reactivated and cause renewed infection. The virus kills the new blood cells and then moves on to infect other cells.

“If we’re ever going to be able to find a way to get rid of the cells, the first step is to understand where a latent infection can continue”, Col-lins said.

He was just flat-out sick.”If anything, the fact that Fredette

averaged 19.7 points per game in MWC contests, in spite of being the focal point on foes’ scouting re-ports, is nothing short of amazing, Drew said.

“There was a reason he was the Mountain West Conference Pre-season Player of the Year. Take nothing away from Hobson, but he basically did all this without every-body knowing how to guard him,” Drew said. “He had the element of surprise on his side. Fredette didn’t have that. People have geared up from the very beginning this year, because of what he’s done the last two years.”

There was no shortage of arguments.

Galetti said Hobson is multi-talented and poses a greater threat to opposing teams than does Fredette.

“To me, Jimmer’s a good outside shooter and he can drive it easily, but I don’t know if he has all these tangibles that Darington does,” Galetti said. “What he brings to the table, both offensively and defen-sively, just all the variables of scor-ing and passing, assists — he does it all. And I haven’t seen another player in the league that does that. If he’s having a bad game shooting, he’s going to get you eight or nine assists … Fredette’s a great player.

Don’t get me wrong. Put it this way: I think Darington would be a bigger loss for the Lobos.”

It should be noted that Galetti cashes his checks from Lobo Sports Property, the property of Learfield Sports, or the sports marketing arm of UNM athletics.

Nonetheless, Galetti said, his af-filiation with the University didn’t impact on how he filed his vote.

“I am voting objectively,” he said. “If I thought Fredette was, overall, a better player, I would vote for him. It has nothing to do with me being a Lobo broadcaster.”

And for anyone that covered MWC basketball, regardless of pos-sible allegiances, it would be non-

sensical to think that anyone other than Hobson or Fredette deserved the award. The two were, undoubt-edly, the best two players in the conference.

Hobson’s numbers check in at 15.8 points per game, 9.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists, marking him as the first time a Lobo led the team in points, rebounds and assists. Fredette, on the other hand, aver-ages 20.3 points per game and 4.7 assists.

Still, there remains the possibil-ity that Hobson and Fredette will share the honor. Should that hap-pen, Smith said it would confirm his illusion of MWC democracy, since only twice has the award win-ner not been a member of the team that won the regular-season title.

“If they split it, it’s a lie,” Smith said. “I’ll tell you that right now. If they’re honestly using voters to de-termine this, there’s 27 voters. If it becomes co-Player of the Year, they should release to us what the vote is. If it’s a legit vote, it shouldn’t be shared.”

Furthermore, in the 10-year his-tory on the MWC, only twice have players shared the honor, one com-ing in 2003-04 with Air Force’s Nick Welch and BYU’s Rafael Araujo, the other in 2007-08, between BYU’s Lee Cummard and former Lobo J.R. Giddens.

Smith, already suspicious of

the MWC’s system, cited the 2007-08 MWC Player of the Year race, where, he said, Giddens might have been snubbed out of winning the award outright.

“When Giddens shared it with Cummard, they wouldn’t tell us what the vote was,” he said. “I did a straw pull of all the media guys in the Mountain West, and, of every-one I talked to, it was a 3-to-1 ratio in Giddens’ favor.”

But it wasn’t necessarily in the MWC’s favor.

Smith said the conference chooses to play mediator in the hopes of not upsetting one team or the other, instead of proclaiming a sole winner.

“I think it’s what I call Little League Syndrome — try to give ev-eryone a trophy,” he said. “I think if it’s (shared), something fishy is go-ing on.”

Only a sociopath couldn’t help but feel empathetic for Lobo softball coach Ty Singleton.

Consider ing how last year went for the head coach and his team (13-35 overall), a win

lobo softball

Junfu Han / Daily LoboSamantha Gatson winds up on the mound during Saturday’s 5-4 loss to No. 25 Baylor. The Lobos were swept in the four-game series.

Changeup buckles batter and coachover No. 25 Baylor on Saturday could have been the alarm clock to awaken a hibernating, slumping program.

It didn’t happen. The Lobos were swept in a four-game series against the Bears, losing 8-0 and 7-3 on Friday and 17-4 and 5-4 on Saturday.

Even more painful, Singleton said, is just how close the Lobos were to winning.

In the bottom of the seventh, down 5-4, infielder Shaunte Duarte stepped into the batter’s box.

To her left, standing in the coach’s box, down the third-base line, Single-ton had black shades on, rendering his eyes, and emotions, undetectable.

All the while though, Singleton brimmed with positive thoughts.

“I’m thinking she’s going to drive that run in,” he said.

He had no reason to suspect other-wise. To that point, Duarte was 2-for-3 from the plate, with a RBI-double and a base knock.

With two strikes, Duarte fouled off consecutive pitches, looking for a ball she could drive far enough to bring in the runner.

“I really wanted that at-bat — run-ners on base, two outs, bottom of the seventh inning,” Duarte said. “Every-body wants to be in that position. I was feeling really confident and just waiting for that pitch.”

That pitch, however, never came. Duarte struck out swinging at a change up, typifying the weekend that was.

“She hadn’t thrown one since maybe Saturday,” Duarte said. “Being the No. 3 batter on the team, that’s a pitch that you want to throw to try to get them off balance and to get them to swing at something that’s not going to go as far.”

Coupled with Saturday’s razor-close loss, and barring an obstruc-tion call which went against UNM in Game 2 on Friday, the Lobos were on the cusp of splitting a four-game se-ries with Baylor, no small feat for this squad.

“The second game both days we performed much better than the first game,” Singleton said. “About the only positive I feel I can pull away from the first game each day was that we got to face a lefty who’s a domi-nant pitcher, throws the ball 70 miles per hour and took them to Super Re-gional. And we hit her. We put the bat on the ball.”

Except they couldn’t when it counted most.

In the sixth inning of Saturday’s

second leg, a bizarre string of events damned the Lobos’ comeback.

Lobo catcher Jessica Garcia sin-gled, past the diving glove of Baylor’s right fielder to start the inning, fol-lowed by a sacrifice bunt by Cassan-dra Kalapsa, which advanced Garcia in scoring position at second.

Strangely, with one out and a runner in scoring position, Single-ton instructed Jessica Lujan-Dress-lar to lay down a bunt. Lujan-Dress-lar entered the series batting .405, but was a combined 0-for-5 to that point.

It didn’t work. Lujan-Dresslar was thrown out at first and then the Bears retired the next batter, strand-ing Garcia, the tying run, at third base.

Singleton said he didn’t like Lu-jan-Dresslar’s at-bats on Saturday, forcing him to make an unconven-tional coaching decision.

“It’s not the typical thing to do, to bunt somebody to second base, but it would have put the go-ahead run on, tying run at third base,” he said. “It was not a sacrifice bunt; it was a bunt for a base hit. A hitter is in-structed, ‘It needs to be a base hit or foul. It needs to be soft.’ It was close. It was a bang-bang play at first.”

And just like that the Lobos are four games below .500, with con-tests against Illinois and Missouri coming up this Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Somehow, Singleton said, he needs to get his team playing con-sistently before that.

As of Saturday, though, Single-ton, shoulders slumped, candidly explained that he didn’t quite un-derstand why his team alternates between playing indifferently and competitively.

“I wish I could give you that an-swer right now. I don’t have an an-swer for that right now,” he said. “We have to get to the bottom of that. We got to get that figured out. It’s unac-ceptable for them to come out two days in a row like that. It’s absolutely unacceptable.”

lobo women’s basketball

Junfu Han / Daily LoboAmy Beggin drives past a slew of Colorado State defenders. The Lobos will face Colorado State on Tuesday in the Mountain West Conference tournament.

MWC system favors top two teams by Ryan Tomari

Daily Lobo

This week signals the mayhem before madness.

As the No. 5 seed, UNM wom-en’s basketball will play No. 8 Col-orado State in the Mountain West Conference tournament on Tues-day at 5:30 p.m. Mountain Stan-dard Time at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev.

Although UNM (17-11 overall, 9-7 MWC) tied for fifth place with Wyoming during the regular sea-son, the Lobos earned the No. 5 seed in the tournament because of a season sweep over Wyoming.

The Lobos split the season se-ries against the Rams. Colorado State won 67-64 in Fort Collins, Colo., while UNM got revenge the second time around, winning 65-60 at The Pit on Feb. 24. If the Lobos are triumphant, they will face the winner from No. 4 Utah/No. 9 Air Force game on Thursday in the quarterfinals.

“They are a team that can really get hot,” Lobo coach Don Flana-gan said about the Rams. “They’ve played competitive all year. It’s a challenge to play them each time, just because they have so many shooters. And their post player has become one of the best in the league. But the third time you play somebody, they’re not going to have a lot of secrets.”

And the secret isn’t out on how Flanagan feels about the way the women’s bracket is set up.

Two years ago the MWC wom-en’s coaches had their own brack-etology epiphany — if it can be called that — and voted to change the format of the tournament.

Before, the women’s bracket was identical to the men’s, with the highest-seeded teams facing the lowest-seeded teams (Example: No. 1 would face the winner of the No. 8/No. 9 matchup).

Now, the current format ben-efits the top finishers in the con-ference, in this case TCU and BYU. Those two teams are idle for two games in the tournament, au-tomatically placing the Horned Frogs and Cougars in the semifi-nals on Friday.

Third-seeded San Diego State earned a first-round bye and is al-ready sitting in the quarterfinals.

“You know, the way the tour-nament’s set up, I prefer the old way and I have made that known,” Flanagan said. “We can’t do any-thing about it. Eventually, every-body’s going to have to play four games versus two for the two top teams. Now, they feel like it’s a better situation for the top two teams, especially going in (Rat-ings Percentage Index)-wise and going into the NCAA tournament. I don’t know, and I don’t think it has proven to be better, but it’s what we have to live with.”

And living with it is exactly what guard Amy Beggin is doing.

Beggin, who has battled some injuries and adversity this season, said the Lobos can make a run in the MWC tournament.

“I really believe that we are capable of winning the tourna-ment,” Beggin said. “I mean, we have proven that we can beat ev-erybody in the conference and, so, if we can put a string of complete 40 minute games, I think we have a really good chance to win the tournament.”
