Sure, it’s a quick way to get across campus, but skateboarding could be hazardous to your health or the health of passersby.

Rick Olcott, who works at Univer-sity College, said he has been hit twice in the past nine months by students whizzing by.

“I wasn’t hurt much, but it feels like assault. It really does,” he said. “It feels like someone coming up behind you when you are walking down the street and smacking you in the back of the head.”

As a former skateboarder himself, Olcott said he is not anti-skateboard-ing, but that there is a time, place and manner when skateboarding is appropriate.

“It seems like it’s an inappropriate activity,” he said. “Just like I can’t go swinging nunchucks through the li-brary, if I had any. It’s just dangerous.”

University policy does not au-thorize unsafe skateboarding or bik-ing, said Robert Haarhues, UNMPD spokesman, but sometimes accidents happen.

“� e policy is they can’t ride on structures, do tricks o� of the curbs or o� the walls and that kind of stu� ,” he said. “� ey are allowed to ride their

Daily Lobo asks you: If you could be a superhero with any power, what would it be and why?

“Pyrokinesis, because stuff always looks really cool when it’s on fire, and if you can do it with your mind it’s that much better.”

Chris BlackhamSenior

Art History and Art Studio

“That’s a hard question, because there’s so many awesome powers that I would like to have. To just pinpoint one, I don’t know. Probably manipulating plant growth and controlling plants would be cool. Super strength and plant growth to make the plant bend to your own will.”

Zach DulinSenior

Cinematic Arts

“Just today I was thinking I would want to be Batman, because he has every gadget. He’s always ready for any situation including kryptonite, just in case Superman turned evil. That’s how prepared he is.”

Francesco Rossetti

JuniorPsychology

“I would always say I would be Storm, because I could manipulate the weather if I was angry or according to my mood. That’s what the weather would reflect. If I was happy, it would be sunny. If I was angry, let it be cloudy.”

On April 17, the UNM Police De-partment responded to a larceny incident at the Championship Golf Course on University Boulevard.

A man said he left a set of golf clubs under the breezeway, near the pro shop, for a short time. When he returned the clubs were missing. An attendant on duty said the area was under video surveillance. Police re-quests to see the video footage were denied because the course employ-ee did not have access to them.

The man said he was missing a Ping G5 iron and putting wedge, three Cleveland wedges, a Calla-way G-9 driver and two Exotic wood irons.

On April 16, UNM police arrived to the South Lot parking area to a car burglary.

A man said he parked his 2007 Chevrolet CTA at 10 a.m. When he returned at 1:15 p.m., his car’s left rear window was broken and his laptop was missing from the back seat.

Police could not find any fin-gerprints on the vehicle. UNMPD said the burglary appeared to be a “smash and grab” because no other items were disturbed.

The man said his laptop ($800), computer case ($30) and charger ($100) were stolen from the vehicle.

On April 15 a man walked into

the UNM police station to report criminal damage to his property.

The man said he parked his 1994 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck in the Lomas Boulevard parking structure. When he returned, he said, his en-tire truck was covered in sawdust. When police went to the parking spot to investigate, sawdust was still on the ground.

The man said he had no idea who would cover his vehicle’s exterior with sawdust. He said he tried for 10 hours to clean his truck but sawdust still filled the air vents. The man said the truck has possible engine dam-age as a result.

On April 14 officers at the UNM police station spoke with a professor who said he was assaulted by an en-raged student in the Social Sciences Building.

The professor told police he was in a meeting with the officers of the Public Administration Graduate Student Association about misrep-resenting complaints they took to the Provost in February.

According to the incident report, the student grew upset with the pro-fessor and got in his face. The stu-dent was asked to leave but refused. He then stood close to the professor in a fighting stance. The professor said he felt threatened.

No charges were filed.

On April 13, UNMPD arrived at the Q parking lot in response to lar-ceny, auto burglary and criminal damage to property incidents.

The victim said she parked her 1990 Acura IRS at noon. When she returned eight and a half hours lat-er, the right front passenger window was busted. Her car stereo, a knife and 15 CDs were stolen, according to the report.

The victim told police she did not want to pursue charges if a suspect was found.

On April 12, officers filed an in-cident report in response to an auto burglary that took place on the west side of the Anthropology Building parking lot.

When the victim returned to his 2004 Ford SRW truck, he noticed one of his doors and his tool lock-boxes were open. According to the report, it appeared the locks were pried open.

The man said he was missing a Klein tool bag ($50), a fluke meter ($100), channel locks, a box thread-er, a mag light, a small vacuum and a spool of wire.

On April 9, police arrived at South Lot to investigate an auto burglary.

The victim told police the right slider door of her 2008 Toyota Si-enna minivan had been damaged. A saxophone, valued at $800, was also missing from the vehicle. The wom-an said she drove to her parent’s house before she called police.

There was no evidence to suggest a suspect, and the saxophone was entered into the National Crime In-formation Center database.

said he supports Weh.“He is a devoted family man. He

wants to bring change throughout the state of New Mexico,” Henderson said. “The first thing that really ap-pealed to me was that he takes a truck to get around the state instead of a plane like Gov. (Bill) Richardson. That probably saves us about $250,000 a year. I think that will really help us out in the long run, by cutting down use-less needs.”

He said another big thing that at-tracted him to Weh was that Weh is a veteran of the Marine Corps.

“I think it is a really big thing to have a governor who has that military background at this time,” Henderson said. “I think this campus is very liber-al and democratic. Even though there is a small few Republicans, I want to show my support for him.”

Henderson said he encourages students to support Weh because students are affected by the bud-get shortfall and are the voice of the University.

“I want to see him come through and take us out of this budget short-fall,” Henderson said. “I know there are a lot of nonprofit organizations that are getting cuts. I think there is a way to keep these great things while maintaining a good budget.”

Laura Torres, a member of the UNM College Republicans, said she attended to hear what Weh had to say.

“I agree with all his standpoints. It comes down to what you hope to hap-pen, and I am part of the UNM Col-lege Republicans. We helped host the event,” Torres said. “The Weh cam-paign really wanted to come and in-teract with students.”

She said she would like to see Weh enforce laws if he is elected governor.

“My main concern is the health care plan. I would like to see him deal with it on a state level. It would be good to have someone like Weh be governor because of his intimacy with the current laws,” Torres said.

Ice Age, bicyclists were a real prob-lem, so they actually had dismount areas where people had to get off their bikes and walk them because there were some people who were severely injured in accidents.”

A dismount area would be diffi-cult to enforce, Haarhues said.

“It’s possible, but it’s some-thing that would be in violation of University policy,” he said. “Plus, I don’t have the manpower to have someone constantly watch to make sure you guys are dismounting or getting off your bike or skateboard in a particular area.”

Remaining aware of your sur-roundings is the best way to pre-vent injury, Haarhues said.

“I guess the precaution you can take is to look over your shoulder before you turn down a hallway or

move down a parkway,” he said. “If you aren’t paying attention they can run right into you as you turn. That’s what naturally happens when some people are going a lot faster than the other people.”

Olcott said it is a complex problem and he doesn’t have the answer, but he wanted it to be brought to people’s attention.

“I personally think that the way a lot of people are riding skate-boards is unsafe,” he said.

“I’ve talked to a few people on campus and almost everyone I’ve talked to has either heard of or knows someone who has been hit or near hit. I don’t mean it as a condemnation of all skateboarders or all students. It only takes one or two people to ruin it for everyone else.”

Editor,A recent letter suggests that some stu-

dents feel that the Daily Lobo is fas-cistic. Nothing could be further from the truth. Here’s a brief guide on how you can actually become fascist.1. Find a charismatic leader. Every fascist group needs a charismatic leader to fol-low blindly to a brighter future. I nominate myself, because I’m awesome and always wear a sweet hat. Barring that, I think our country might benefit from being placed under the total and utter domination of Jack Trujillo, although if he ever finds out I wrote that, he’ll probably be horrified.2. Stop being a campus newspaper. Fas-cists are required to eschew the weak and unnatural abomination that is rational thought and instead embrace glorious ac-tion. A university is the opposite of every-thing Mussolini and company stood for.3. More racism on your website and in your paper, not less. If you want to follow

the path of Franco, you’re going to have to start censoring nonracist comments and stop publishing editorials about “embrac-ing diversity” or “giving peace a chance” and start writing about how the Lithuanians caused our current economic crisis and how 99 percent of Eskimos are criminals.4. Organize a paramilitary militia to de-stroy the Democrats (people who believe in the Democratic system, not members of the pathetically ineffectual political party). The militia should be large, have a uniform consisting of brown or black shirts, and spend most of its time marching in lockstep and looking for communists, democrats and foreigners. When one is found, might I suggest forcing the subversive to drink gallons of castor oil? It’s a fascist classic.5. Your economic policy is all wrong. You apparently just give your newspaper away. This is far closer to communism than to any recognizable form of the corporatism that is so near to every fascist’s black heart.6. You appear to embrace democracy, re-porting on the results of elections and de-bates as if the existence of such institutions were a good thing. If you want to be fascists,

every article about an election should mock all of the candidates and call them weak and womanish. You should be constantly call-ing for military coups and taunting anyone who thinks that a popular election could ever produce an acceptable government.7. Embrace war and conflict. Your paper shows a distinct “war is bad” bias, doing ev-erything from quoting civilian death totals to printing editorials critical of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is the least fascist position possible. As a fascist orga-nization, your goal would be to promote war with a stirring quote like “Blood alone moves the wheels of history” and inspiring stories of young men who grow up and be-come heroes in the glory of the trenches. Also, you would be required to constantly agitate for new wars, using scurrilous alle-gations and rampant xenophobia. Your cur-rent sober reporting of the facts could not be further removed from the glorification and reverence for war that is a requirement for every good fascist.

Lawrence AllenDaily Lobo reader

Editor,Andrew Beale begins his column for the

Daily Lobo “Hypocritical US takes part in ter-rorism constantly” with the following state-ment: “� e United States government is the largest terrorist organization operating to-day.” In Martin Luther King, Jr.’s 1967 speech “Beyond Vietnam,” he comes to a similar con-clusion when he says: “(My own government is) the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” Not much has changed since then. U.S. history continues to be littered with wars, occupation, massacres, torture, assas-sinations and secret detention. Founded on the Native American genocide, this nation is haunted by the African-American holocaust as it seeks nationalistic distraction in impe-rial wars. When Dr. King said as much, he was a marked man. His violent death a year later proved his point. � is is just one of the many ironies in the tragedy of American history.

� e video recently released by the news orga-nization WikiLeaks provides factual evidence of the judgment, a rarity in our times of cor-porate media control. It depicts a U.S. mas-sacre in Baghdad from July 12, 2007, one of countless unreported. � e video speaks for, or rather, against itself. � e fact that it had to be leaked suggests the government’s mistrust of its own people. � at the Pentagon can no lon-ger � nd its own copy suggests a sense of guilt. Common sense condemns the massacre. � e military, however, exonerated the culprits, ef-fectively condoning the atrocities. If all crimi-nals could preside over the trials of their own crimes, all would go free.

As it stands, it’s the privilege of a he-gemonic government and its mili-tary. We call it the Pax Americana.� ose who defend the atrocities do so by ra-tionalizing the forbidden into the permissi-ble. � ey are e� ectively saying, “We are bet-ter Nazis than the Germans 70 years ago. � ey killed 6 million European Jews, we ‘just’ killed one million Iraqi Arabs.”

In his 1967 speech, Dr. King recognized the

fatal kinship between the Nazi death camps in Europe then and the deadly American weap-onry today. He condemned both.

Today we must recognize: the contin-ued American occupation of Iraq has as much justi� cation as Nazi Germany’s inva-sion and occupation of Poland. In both cas-es the aggressor falsely claimed homeland defense with the murderous assault. It is a natural consequence that to the illegal occu-pier every movement of the occupied looks suspicious. Countless war crimes have re-sulted from the suppressed sense of guilt.When Leo Tolstoy recognized this deceit in human rationality, he converted to Christian-ity and became an uncompromising Chris-tian paci� st who challenged state and church for their false faith of nationalism. Americans today who undergo a similar conversion too refuse to chant the imperial battle cry. Instead they humbly pray, “May God forgive America and bless the whole world.”

Recent letter’s views ofIslam, Arizona law misguided

Anti-America column displayswisdom comparable to Dr. King

Becoming a fascist paper:A step-by-step process

Editor,� is letter is written in response to Andres

Saenz. � ere are multiple misconceptions in his letter published April 27 in the Daily Lobo. I’d like to address just two of them. � e � rst one is regarding Arizona’s new law.

Saenz refers to Ca� erty File report, which states that 20 percent of all Mexican illegal im-migrants have criminal records and says “all of the border states have the legal right to hunt down these criminals and bring them to jus-tice under the fullest extent of the law.” I have no problem with law enforcement � nding criminals. But, the law is illegal according to the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, which states “the right of the people to be se-cure in their persons, houses, papers and ef-fects, against unreasonable searches and sei-zures, shall not be violated.” � is bill allows an o� cer to order someone to provide legal resi-dency documents from persons detained un-der “reasonable suspicion.” What do you think the suspicion would be? It would be the color of the person’s skin. � at is why it is racist to have immigration laws like this. � ere has to be a better way.

My second point regards Saenz’s fallacious statements about Islam. Islam is a religion to follow, not a group of people. A group of fa-natics claiming to be Muslim does not speak for 1.3 billion Muslims around the world. Is-lam does not say its followers should blow themselves up to ascend to heaven, just like how Christianity does not say to pray for more dead soldiers (an example of what Westboro Baptist Church members say). I’m not going to address your straw-man arguments against Romero’s letter, but I will address one glaring statement you made. You state “Why is there no outcry from (Muslims) to condemn mur-ders of all forms.” � ere have been numerous fatwas condemning suicide bombing, terror-ism, murders, etc. You are welcome to refer to this website for a comprehensive list: unc.edu/~kurzman/terror.htm. If you’re not paying attention, Saenz, you’re not going to see it.

Instead of lighting up the night,

the Luminaria Awards will light up the faces of four appreciated mem-bers on the UNM janitorial staff.

The Office of Equity and Inclu-sion will have its first-ever Lumi-naria Awards Dinner tonight in the SUB, where the University will rec-ognize the services of people who have gone above the call of duty in promoting diversity and support.

“There was a sentiment raised that some diversity efforts hadn’t been recognized to the degree that we should be recognizing them,” said Jozi De Leon, vice president of Equity and Inclusion.

De Leon said the department de-cided to find a way to acknowledge more members of the UNM com-munity, including the evening jani-torial team for the Castetter Hall, Marron Hall and the Communica-tions and Journalism Building.

“They are a great representation of exactly what everyone around campus should be doing,” she said. “They take the time to get to know someone and they care about the success of others.”

The idea for Luminaria Awards came from UNM professor Maggie Werner-Washburne. She said the idea came to her during the holi-days when she was walking down a street lined with luminarias.

“I realized that there were people all over UNM at all different levels,” Werner-Washburne said. “These people around campus that lighted other people’s lives, and got no rec-ognition for it, so I thought of the Luminaria Awards.”

Werner-Washburne nominat-ed her janitorial staff, but she also sent around the nomination to sur-rounding departments and found an enormous response.

The nomination received 20 co-nominations before reaching De Le-on’s office.

“We have had this group of jani-tors for a long time. We know them; they know us,” she said. “These jani-tors are a key part of the success of the University.”

UNM custodian Phil Aragon said he already feels like part of the UNM community.

“They all know us as ‘the staff,’ or ‘the team,’ as we like to call our-selves,” he said. “And they’ve just in-corporated us as part of their team, and we have started to become one

said she will discuss funding for fac-ulty at the meeting.

“I really want to see a very clear graph that shows how many faculty we should have for the enrollment we have, how many we’re going to hire and if that really is going to take us beyond baseline,” she said.

Knudsen said there is $1.5 mil-lion in the budget allocated to

hiring new faculty, but she isn’t sure if that is enough.

“If we invested our money into faculty, then they would likely bring in more money than we spend on them,” she said. “If they start getting really efficient at grants, the grants will start covering their salary. I think that would be the best fiscal move for us to make.”

big happy family.”Aragon has been a janitor at

UNM for 14 years. He said it started out like any other job until he got to know the people.

“You start to build acquaintanc-es, some friendships,” he said. “In 14 years, you meet a lot of people and make a lot of friends.”

Aragon is one of four custodial staff members receiving the award. The others are Toby Lucero, Martin Jaramillo and Magdalena Vela. Wer-ner-Washburne said each of them offers more than custodial services to the University.

“We pay these janitors, like, $10 an hour,” she said. “For that the Uni-versity is getting their help cleaning. … But for $10 they provide security and they provide community.”

De Leon said the awards com-mittee overwhelmingly accepted the nomination of the janitorial staff.

“They were highly ranked by everyone,” she said. “It was unanimous.”

De Leon said the awards would be celebrated with a silent auction, dinner and dance. The funds raised by the event will go to future diver-sity events put on by various depart-ments on campus.

The dinner will be in the SUB Ballroom, starting with a silent

auction at 5 p.m. De Leon said ev-eryone is invited to attend.

Aragon said the janitors will be receiving a night of paid leave to at-tend the event.

WASHINGTON — Immigration reform has become the first of Presi-dent Barack Obama’s major priori-ties dropped from the agenda of an election-year Congress facing voter disillusionment.

Sounding the death knell was Obama himself.

The president noted that lawmak-ers may lack the “appetite” to take on immigration while many of them are up for re-election and while another big legislative issue — climate change — is already on their plates.

“I don’t want us to do something just for the sake of politics that doesn’t solve the problem,” Obama told re-porters Wednesday night aboard Air Force One.

Immigration reform was an issue Obama promised Latino groups that he would take up in his first year in office. But several hard realities — a tanked economy, a crowded agen-da, election-year politics and lack of political will — led to so much foot-dragging in Congress that, ultimately, Obama decided to set the issue aside.

With that move, the president calculated that an immigration bill would not prove as costly to his par-ty two years from now, when he seeks re-election, than it would today, even though some immigration reformers warned that a delay could so discour-age Democratic-leaning Latino voters that they would stay home from the polls in November.

Some Democrats thought pushing a bill through now might help their party, or at least their

own re-election prospects.Senate Majority Leader Harry

Reid, whose campaign is struggling in heavily-Hispanic Nevada, un-veiled an outline — not legislation — on Thursday for an immigration bill at a packed news conference. Asked when it might advance, he declined to set an “arbitrary deadline.”

If immigration goes nowhere this year, Democrats can blame Republi-can resistance, though in reality many Democrats didn’t want to deal with an immigration bill this year either.

The Democrats’ draft proposal, obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, called for, among oth-er things, meeting border security benchmarks before anyone in the country illegally can become a legal permanent U.S. resident.

Obama praised the outline and said the next step is ironing out a bill. He said his administration will “play an active role” in trying to get biparti-san supporters.

Republican Sens. Jon Kyl of Ari-zona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who had been working with Democrats on immigration reform, criticized the proposal as “nothing more than an attempt to score politi-cal points.”

By Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered little hope that the issue was still alive on Capitol Hill.

“If there is going to be any movement in this regard, it will require presidential leadership, as well as an appetite, is that the word? ... as well as a willingness to move forward in the Congress,” she said.

Legislators lack ‘appetite’ for immigration reform

Argentine journalists accused in ‘people’s trial’

by Michael WarrenAssociated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — The Argentine presidency’s cam-paign against media criticism in-spired a symbolic “people’s trial” Thursday against some of the na-tion’s leading journalists.

The event outside the govern-ment palace was led by Hebe de Bonafini, an activist with close ties to President Cristina Fernandez and Nestor Kirchner, Fernandez’s husband and predecessor.

Bonafini said her group, the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, in-tends to expose a younger gen-eration to misdeeds by some journalists during the 1976-1983 dictatorship and to vindicate those members of the media who risked their lives to report about human rights abuses.

“This trial has to do with de-nouncing the sellouts, the accom-plices, those who never said any-thing when we were imprisoned,” she told a crowd of several hun-dred people. “What we don’t want is for the same journalists who lied then to keep doing it now.”

The event was publicized through anonymous posters around the capital that accused prominent journalists for the leading daily newspapers Clarin and La Nacion, Sunday paper Perfil and magazine publisher Atlantida of acting as ac-complices of rights abusers during the dictatorship. The dictatorship killed as many as 30,000 political opponents, including 98 journal-ists, according to Freedom Forum, the U.S.-based media freedom group.

Fernandez herself ratcheted up

the rhetoric this week, saying some journalists “need to get an anti-ra-bies vaccine.”

Kirchner, while denying respon-sibility for the anonymous signs, urged union members to keep up the pressure for implementation of a law that would shake up the media industry, calling Clarin “the backbone” of his wife’s political opposition.

Grupo Clarin, one of Latin America’s largest media compa-nies, would have to be sold off in pieces if courts approve the law.

Young pro-government activists also joined in, shouting down criti-cal authors at Argentina’s interna-tional book fair.

Wednesday night, the Senate unanimously declared its “most energetic rejection of all acts of vi-olence, intimidation, hostility and persecution against the work of journalists and the media.”

Senators who support the first couple joined in the vote after re-jecting a measure urging the pres-ident to make Bonafini call off her demonstration. Deputies in the lower house failed to pass a similar resolution Thursday after hearing from some of the targeted journal-ists, who accused the presidency of fomenting hate.

“This is going to have to end with a death before the government does something about it,” said Joaquin Morales Sola, a political columnist for Clarin and now La Nacion.

Opposition lawmaker Patricia Bullrich said the president’s fail-ure to stop Thursday’s event in the Plaza de Mayo “shows that the gov-ernment is behind this campaign of public shaming and attacks against the press.”

Whipping winds and otherwise inclement weather tore a hole in the fabric of the UNM Football In-door Practice Facility Thursday, calling into question the safeness of the Lobos’ structure after a re-port back in January said there were flaws in the design of UNM’s $7 million facility.

The Lobos’ facility was evaluat-ed by Chavez-Grieves Consulting Engineers Inc., a local engineer-ing firm, after the Dallas Cow-boys’ facility collapsed during a thunderstorm back in May 2009. That facility was constructed by the same company, Summit Struc-tures, which erected the Lobos’ fa-cility. Twelve people were injured when that structure buckled under pressure.

The rip in the north side of the Lobos’ structure exposed the skele-tal beams. The facility wasn’t in use when the tear took place, said Media Relations Spokesperson Chris Deal.

Initially, a news conference scheduled for 6 p.m. was called by the University to address any con-cerns about the structure’s stability,

Vanessa Sanchez / Daily LoboThe UNM Football Indoor Practice Facility was torn during a wind storm on Thursday, reigniting discussion about the facility’s durability.

but neither Associate Athletics Direc-tor Tim Kass, nor anyone from Ath-letics showed up and instead a press release was issued minutes later.

The statement said that UNM, following its safety protocol, blocked off all entrances to the facility and the plaza after winds gusted above 60 mph.

“At that time, we followed our management plan to close the building when winds get near 60 miles per hour,” Kass said. “A tear developed in the outside fabric on the north end and, as winds in-creased, so did the tear.”

Kass and Athletics Director Paul Krebs didn’t return phone calls

late on Thursday for comment. Though access to the plaza en-

trance and facility was said to be blocked off, two women somehow gained access to the plaza and wandered down the paved side-walk by the football team’s out-door practice field through the commons area at about 6:30 p.m.

The two didn’t say how they ac-cessed the facilities, nor did they witness when the tear in the struc-ture took place.

So far, at least six Summit-de-signed structures have collapsed since 2002, according to an Asso-ciated Press report published in January 2010.

If you want the answer as to why Daniel Gonzalez has played in 89 straight games as shortstop for the UNM baseball team, just ask head coach Ray Birmingham.

“Gonzalez can play shortstop,” Birmingham said about the senior. “Gonzalez is the best shortstop in this league.”

Inasmuch, Gonzalez is the Iron Man of Lobo baseball. But don’t mistake that to mean that Gonza-lez’s body doesn’t take a beating. It does.

Gonzalez said the wear and tear of playing every day has been di� -cult to deal with at times.

“It’s rough — going through so many games,” Gonzalez said. “But this time around I have a little bit more experience because I know what I have to do. I know I have to be in the weight room, and I know not to take too many cuts and ground balls in practice. You know, now I can relax. � at is pretty much how I see it now. I guess I could say I have more experience, and I am smarter this time around.”

Most impressive is that Gonza-lez, despite the rough-and-tumble nature of baseball, is there for the Lobos day in and day out. For that

reason, Birmingham said he isn’t shy about calling Gonzalez the best shortstop in the conference.

Gonzalez said that Birmingham acknowledging his play is a con� -dence booster.

“If coach keeps saying that about me, I am going to prove him right,” Gonzalez said. “But with me being the shortstop, I take pride in defense. I take a whole bunch of ground balls all the time, and I try to put myself in any situation I can. � at way, when I get to the game, it’s much easier for me to do it.”

Gonzalez has the defensive part down, and Birmingham said if he improves his at-bats, he has major-league talent.

“I think if he hits a little bit bet-ter, I think he would be a no-brain draft pick,” Birmingham said. “He is very good defensively, and I will miss him.”

For the last two seasons, Gon-zalez has been at the bottom of UNM’s batting order.

Even so, Gonzalez doesn’t let it bother him. Instead, he said, it serves as motivation to continue to improve every day.

“Our whole lineup is stacked anyway,” Gonzalez said. “I am go-ing to hit as many times as the � rst batter. If he hits six times, I am go-ing to end up hitting � ve times. So

it doesn’t really matter, and I don’t see anything wrong with it, because I am still going to get a chance to hit.”

Gonzalez said his train of thought has changed during his UNM career. It’s amazing how much change can occur in a year, he said.

“Last year, I was not thinking

like I am right now,” he said. “I am like, ‘I have to do this, because I am about to leave.’ I am thinking about the game and the little things more than I did last year. � at’s what’s making us better, and it’s what’s making me better.”

So what is there left for the senior to accomplish after hav-ing such an illustrious career

at UNM? “(A) conference title would be

real good,” Gonzalez said. “We would really like that, but going to Omaha and winning that — that would be twice, no, three times as good and would make my career here that much better.”

Nonetheless, Gonzalez has had a career worth remembering.

If San Diego State head baseball coach Tony Gwynn is considered one of the greatest batters in the his-tory of MLB, that doesn’t mean his knack for clubbing balls has sud-denly transferred to his players.

The Aztecs are not hitting the ball like their head coach once did back in his hey-day with the San Diego Padres. SDSU is batting an anemic .297 average, last in the Mountain West Conference.

Still, UNM head baseball coach Ray Birmingham will need his pitch-ing staff for the Lobos’ upcoming series with the Aztecs. After a two-week hiatus from Mountain West Conference action, UNM is back in the grind of conference play with a three-game series against SDSU, starting today.

So what has Birmingham done to motivate his starting pitching staff?

“I am a big believer in the C vita-min,” Birmingham said. “And the C vitamin is called confidence.”

Fifth-year senior Max Willett said the Lobos will have to be on their toes against the Aztecs.

“You know, they are a very, very good team,” he said. “We have to be ready to go at them again. These are three huge games coming up, espe-cially with conference (play) wind-ing down. We need a win in every game that we can get. They are going

to be good and coming out for us, because we took three from them (earlier in the season). We have to be ready to go right back at them.”

Lately, though, the Lobos’ of-fense has put up football-like scores against their opponents. UNM has scored 114 runs in the last eight games, which includes a 29-3 win over Coppin State on April 18.

But bigger than the win over Cop-pin State, or the offense, Birming-ham said this three-game against SDSU has large implications, espe-cially if UNM has a shot to play in the College Baseball World Series Regionals.

“They’re huge for us, but every-thing here on out is huge for us,” Birmingham said. “We needed a couple of more games, because the RPI is important for us and league is important for us. TCU is important for us. San Diego is important for us. Utah is important for us, and every team all the way down the line.”

Above all that, the MWC tour-nament is most important to the Lobos. Last year, the Lobos drew SDSU and fell 2-1, before losing to BYU 5-1.

This time around, Birmingham wants it to be different.

“We have gone to the mountain top, and we have been one rock away,” Birmingham said. “You want to see a guy who is ready to just jump off the top of it — when I get there — it’s me.”

SDSU stands in the wayof a shot at regionals

Competition for ultimate NCAA bracket increases

by Michael MarlotAssociated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — The road to the Final Four will have a new look next season.

On Thursday, the NCAA’s board of directors approved expansion from 65 to 68 teams and endorsed a proposal to add three more open-ing-round games to the schedule. It’s only the second time in a quarter-century that the NCAA has increased the number of teams competing for the men’s national championship.

Now it’s time to start mapping out the details, which could include putting at-large teams in the early games.

“The (men’s basketball) commit-tee will have to study any variety of options, and certainly the notion of looking at options involving the last at-large teams in would be one pos-sible option,” NCAA vice president Greg Shaheen told The Associated Press. “We would expect the com-mittee to examine all of the options.”

The decision was not a surprise.NCAA officials recommended the

68-team field last week after the pub-lic loudly complained that going to 80 or 96 teams would water down the NCAA’s marquee event, and network executives insisted they did not need more tourney games to make a profit on the next television contract.

So the NCAA backed the most modest expansion, at least for now. The board gave unanimous consent to the 68-team field with a caveat — it wants the “play-in” games to have more significance.

“Expanding to 68 teams gave us an opportunity to involve more teams in the championship, and in doing that, we were able to enhance the experience of the opening-round game,” Clemson president James Barker, the committee chairman,

said in a statement.It’s the first time since 2001, when

the NCAA added one team to the 64-team team field that it has expanded. The NCAA went from 48 to 64 teams in 1985.

More teams won’t be the only change fans see next March.

Thanks to the new 14-year, $10.8 billion television package with CBS and Turner Broadcasting, also an-nounced last week, fans can choose which games they want to watch. It will be the first time every tourney game will be televised live national-ly. One game will be carried by CBS, with others carried on TNT, TBS and truTV.

It’s a smaller overhaul than fans expected after NCAA officials spoke extensively about the format for a 96-team field four weeks ago, but it hasn’t stopped the talk about addi-tional expansion.

The new TV deal gives the NCAA sole authority to expand again, a possibility some observers believe will happen in the near future. Don’t bet on it.

“Field size of any event is some-thing people like to debate, but it’s not something the committee is in-terested in taking on in the foresee-able future,” Shaheen said.

Tourney expansion was only part of the board’s busy schedule Thursday.

It also endorsed a recommenda-tion that would require football play-ers to complete nine credit hours during the fall semester to be eli-gible for the following season. And the Committee on Academic Perfor-mance wants to eliminate waivers for Football Bowl Subdivision teams that lose players who are academi-cally ineligible after completing their eligibility. The board believes the elimination of those waivers will force schools to place greater em-phasis on retaining athletes.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Ken-tucky Derby goes off late Satur-day afternoon and for two glorious minutes and change, horse racing will be back at the center of the universe. And then, like a hang-over, the sport of kings will have to confront its grim prospects all over again.

Declining revenues, smaller purses, shorter fields, less wager-ing and even the biggest track op-erators in North America in bank-ruptcy — the odds for renewal are so depressingly long that even mighty Secretariat likely couldn’t make a dent.

That won’t stop Big Red from trying.

At least at the movies.Coming this fall to a theater

near you, “Secretariat” is a retell-ing of the greatest Triple Crown campaign ever, this time through the eyes of his owner, Penny Chenery, who took the reins of her

ailing father’s stable against the advice of her husband and turned the old-boy, old-money, bourbon-fueled network that dominated the game on its ear.

“Seeing yourself in a movie is really weird,” Chenery said with a laugh.

Now 87 and living in Boulder, Colo., she returned Thursday to Churchill Downs, where Secre-tariat’s saga began. Chenery walks with the aid of a cane, but her wit remains as sharp as ever.

“They told me, ‘Penny, it’s not a documentary, it’s a Disney mov-ie,’” she added a moment later. “I’ve adjusted to a revised version of my life.”

Then she paused again, looked to her left at actress Diane Lane — who plays Chenery in the movie — and beamed.

“I’m younger and prettier.”Racehorses have struck the na-

tional nerve before for all kinds of reasons, but not for a long time. Secretariat ended a Triple Crown drought of 25 years by widen-ing margins during the torrid

summer season of 1973, giving a country numbed by the war in Viet-nam and the Watergate scandal something, finally, to cheer about. The feat put Big Red on the cover of both Time and Newsweek.

Long before Seabiscuit, too, became a movie star, his rags-to-riches-story regaled an audience suffering through the cruelest years of the Great Depression. And harkening back to a time when racing dueled only baseball and boxing for the sporting public’s at-tention, Man O’War’s funeral was broadcast on the radio, an honor in his day accorded only to popes and heads of state.

Chenery knows only too well those days are gone forever.

But she insists the same quali-ties that made Secretariat the most celebrated athlete of his day — a desire to take his game to a level where only history can provide a proper context for judging — nev-er go out of style.

“He loved to run,” Chenery said, “and it was a passion I got caught up in.”

Horse racing prosperous only in movies

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tiger Woods will need to stay out of the water if he hopes to contend at the Quail Hollow Championship.

Woods put drives in the water off the 17th and 18th tees Thursday and finished with a 2-over 74, leaving him nine shots behind early leader Bo Van Pelt.

“I was struggling so bad out there, just trying to piece together a round to keep myself in the tournament,” Woods said.

Masters champion Phil Mickel-son began his round in the afternoon, walking to the first tee amid cheers as Woods crossed the scorer’s area.

Woods is playing his second PGA Tour event this season and hoped to build on a tie for fourth at the

Masters three weeks ago, his first tournament back after rampant al-legations of marital infidelity led to a self-imposed hiatus from golf.

He hit only four of 14 fairways while struggling through his opening round, though. Will that mean a hard afternoon of practice to straighten things out?

“I’m not going to the range today, no,” Woods said.

Things looked promising at the start when Woods, off a rousing wel-come from a chilly crowd, hit a near-perfect tee shot on the 10th and bird-ied his opening hole.

Woods could barely keep anything straight after that.

A drive into the left rough on the 12th hole led to a bogey, and he saved par from near a holly tree on the 15th. Woods’ water world began on the pic-turesque, challenging par-3 17th hole,

when his ball sailed into the water. His second try struck to the green, but he missed a 30-footer and came away with a double bogey.

“That’s just a bad shot,” Woods said.

His problems continued on the par-4 closing hole when his drive end-ed up in a creek along the left side. He came up short of the green after tak-ing a penalty stroke, then chipped to 3 feet and made the putt for a bogey.

Woods followed with another bo-gey on No. 1, falling to 4 over through 10 holes.

He finally perked up, hitting to about 15 feet on the par-3 second and making birdie. Then he added another birdie on the par-5 fifth af-ter reaching the green in two, and kept the surge going on the eighth hole when a chip to about 5 feet set up another birdie.
