Q A&UESTI

ON

DAVID AXELRODWHITE HOUSE SENIOR ADVISERNSWER

WASHINGTON — White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod an-swered questions on health care re-form after President Barack Obama’s joint address to Congress on Sept. 9. Axelrod drafted Obama’s address.

Reporter: Where does this leave you tonight, especially with the Republicans?

David Axelrod: I think there are a lot of people in that chamber that un-derstand the gravity of this problem and understand that it is only going to get worse if we don’t deal with it now. We have an opportunity and we are making great progress. I have never been more optimistic during this process that we are going to get something meaningful done for the American people. � is will bring sta-bility and security to people who al-

ready have insurance and help peo-ple that don’t have insurance get it at a price they can a� ord.

R: Will it be bipartisan?DA: We are willing to work with

anyone who wants to work with us. I still believe there are people of both parties who want to get something done here. I believe there are peo-ple of good will in that chamber that want to get it done. I am not willing to say that some Republicans won’t be a part of this. I know the presi-dent is determined to get something done, and I think we will get some-thing done.

R: Would the president support reconciliation for a � nal push on this?

Contrary to what was printed in Wednesday’s “Hall circulating smoke from assigned area,” E&PS Department Chair John Geissman identified areas adjacent to the Art Building and east of the Biol-ogy building as possible sites for a smoking area, not areas east of Carlisle Gym.

In Thursday’s “Program gives IT jobs to veterans,” the story said the informational meeting took place on Friday, Sept. 25 while the box said Sunday, Sept. 27. The meeting will take place on Sunday, Sept. 27, in the SUB, from 2 - 4 p.m.

CorreCtionContrary to what was printed in

“‘True heroes’ removed from vet-erans’ resolution’’ in Friday’s pa-per, the phrase “true heroes” was

never actually removed from the resolution; rather, it was modified to say, “some of our True Heroes.” The error was made in editing.

FASS MBAO, Senegal — The only piece of furniture that survived the most recent flood in Fatou Dione’s house is her bed. It’s propped up on cinderblocks and hovers just above the water lapping at the walls of her bedroom.

The water stands a foot deep throughout her house. She shakes off her wet feet each time she climbs into her bed. To keep it dry, she tries to place her feet on the same spot so that only one corner of her mattress becomes moist.

Editor,I have read and heard much of the dis-

course regarding smoking on campus, or the ban of it, I should say. Yes, I am a smoker and, yes, I am completely willing to comply with all of UNM’s rules, but it is hard to do when you don’t know them.

I suggest that the Daily Lobo publish a map of the approved smoking areas on campus. I also encourage UNM to post that map on its Web site. � is will foster knowledge, under-standing and better compliance with UNM’s smoking policy.

� ere are only two smoking areas that I can � nd: outside Zimmerman Library and near Dane Smith Hall. I think the smoking area at Dane Smith may be a joke. In front of the � rst � oor doors is a semi-enclosed cubby area that is closer than 25 feet to the door. � ere is a small red spray-painted sign that says, “des-ignated smoking area.” How can this be a real designated smoking area when it is closer than 25 feet? Furthermore, it keeps the smell sort of locked into that area.

by Max FitzpatrickDaily Lobo guest columnist

� is week, the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, has come to UNM as part of an ef-fort to give his legacy a makeover. Fox is slat-ed to give a talk advocating the U.S. pass im-migration reform, including a guest-worker program.

Because Fox’s neoliberal economic policies did not create jobs in Mexico, impoverished laborers had to � ee their homes to � nd work here. � is sad reality doesn’t make Fox look good, so Fox has come to revamp his image.

A centerpiece of Fox’s legacy-enhancement project is his private presidential library, Centro Fox. UNM has agreed to help Fox with his leg-acy by entering into exchange agreements with Centro Fox, even though Centro Fox has illicitly used public funds.

To give balance to the way Fox and UNM ad-ministrators portray Fox’s history, here’s a more critical look at Fox’s time in o� ce.

In a contribution to the U.S. immigration de-bate, Fox said, “� ere is no doubt that Mexicans — � lled with dignity, willingness and ability to work — are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States.”

Giving his two cents on the thousands of lay-o� s in Michigan, Fox told downtrodden auto-workers to “get over it” and prepare for integra-tion with Mexico.

In conversation with an illiterate peasant,

Fox said she would have “a happy life” be-cause of her illiteracy. Maybe his overestima-tion of the bene� ts of marginalized education for poor women is why illiteracy increased in Mexico during Fox’s tenure.

In addition to his racism, classism and sex-ism, Fox engaged in anti-democratic practic-es throughout his presidency. In 2000, Fox’s campaign apparatus illegally collected sums of money from abroad and laundered it the way drug tra� ckers do. During his time in of-� ce, Fox’s wife and her sons pilfered from the public purse. When a journalist wrote an ac-count of it, the reporter found herself under house arrest.

In response to social protest at San Sal-vador Atenco, federal police under Fox beat and detained hundreds of people, systemati-cally raped dozens of women and killed two citizens, according to Amnesty International. Fox said that his administration would “see that the space for investigation of any (o� -cial wrongdoing) would be totally open.” But he did not seem to notice when his own sec-retary of public security rejected the incrimi-nating � ndings of Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission and stonewalled further inquiry.

When the teachers and indigenous citizens of Oaxaca mobilized in protest of their corrupt governor in 2006, Fox said, “We will continue to insist on … reaching an agreement and re-solving everything in that manner.” But the fed-eral police he deployed to Oaxaca contributed to racking up 1,200 o� cial complaints of hu-man rights violations, according to Amnesty International.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned hu-man rights abuses, press censorship and mon-ey laundering, Fox’s most memorable sin may have been his election tampering.

A proponent of democracy, Fox want-ed to make the presidential selection pro-cess easier for Mexicans by clearing the � eld of candidates of unnecessary clutter, so he stealthily tried to have the popular mayor of Mexico City, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, arrested and disquali� ed from running for

president. Fox later asserted that “to promote democracy … it was important to detain López Obrador.”

To stop López Obrador, Fox had an unprec-edented secret visit with the chief justice of the supreme court to discuss how the judicial and executive branches could collude in keeping López Obrador out of the race. When Fox’s at-torney general brought trumped-up charges against López Obrador, Fox declared that the “culture of legality implies a certain cost … that people assume responsibility.” Continuing his antidemocratic behavior, Fox pressured legis-lators and party leaders to vote against letting López Obrador mount a candidacy.

� e entire a� air shocked the masses of Mexico City and the international media. Once they saw that one of Fox’s costs of democracy was democracy itself, they � ooded the streets and editorial pages in protest.

López Obrador stayed in the presidential race, and, to everyone’s surprise, so did Fox. Even though Mexican law prohibits incum-bents from campaigning or taking sides in the succession process, Fox announced he would “promote the ideals, values, proposals and po-litical project” of his party in the 2006 election. � e Federal Election Institute admonished Fox for this illegal partisanship, both before and af-ter the contested election (which Fox’s candi-date won by less than half a percent).

From racist, sexist and classist statements to looking the other way on human rights vio-lations, from misusing security forces to caus-ing mass migration with corporate economic policies, Vicente Fox’s legacy is clearly in dire need of revision.

Given the lowered literacy levels, high in-equality, public corruption and election med-dling marking Fox’s presidency, it is surprising that UNM is recognizing Fox for contributions to “democracy and development.”

In this time of state-budget shortfalls, why is UNM using public resources to help Fox re-habilitate his personal legacy?

Whether “true heroes” or “some of the true he-roes,” ASUNM should have passed it the � rst time.

No. UNM’s failure to label smoking ar-eas has made the policy frustrating and ine� ective.

The senators did the right thing — � ne-tuning language is routine for governing bodies.

Yes. Since August, students have been able to walk around campus without having to worry about secondhand smoke.

The original bill was � owery and loosely accu-rate. It needed heavy rewording.

Yes. The policy is providing an incen-tive for smokers to kick an unhealthy habit

ASUNM should not pass the resolution, even af-ter rewording it.

Salvatore Laporta / AP PhotoIn this Sept. 8 photo, former counterfeiter Giovanni Aspride, left, smiles as he shows the sites to Brooke Cervine March, a cruise passenger from Santa Fe, N.M., on a tour of downtown Naples in southern Italy. Aspride is one of 70 former convicts, including muggers, drug traffickers and con artists, hired by local authorities to guide tourists through the art-rich but crime-plagued city and use their inside knowledge of the local underworld to keep visitors safe.

Former convicts show tourists la dolce vita

by Ariel DavidThe Associated Press

NAPLES, Italy — Luigi “Giggi-no” Nocerino once stalked tourists through the tight alleys of this south-ern Italian city, snatching bags and valuables to fuel his drug addiction.

Now he looks after his former prey, escorting them through bad neighborhoods and giving tips on how to avoid muggings and where to eat the best pizza.

Nocerino is one of 70 former con-victs, including muggers, drug traf-fickers and con artists, hired by au-thorities to guide tourists through the art-rich but crime-plagued city and use their inside knowledge of the lo-cal underworld to keep visitors safe.

Officials say the six-month exper-iment that began in May is succeed-ing in reducing petty crime and pre-venting the ex-cons from falling back into old habits or joining the ranks of the Camorra, the powerful mob syn-dicate that runs global drug rings out of Naples.

“I used to hunt for tourists. How things have changed,” Nocerino mar-vels, recalling how he spent more than 10 of his 43 years serving prison

terms for drug-related offenses.Nocerino and his fellow guides

roam tourist-filled areas, like the historic center of Naples or its port, wearing bright yellow vests identi-fying them, in somewhat mangled English, as “Operator for the Urban Tourist Assistance.”

Some speak basic English and Spanish but most use Italians’ ex-pressive hand gestures to get the message across. They walk around in groups accompanied by a supervi-sor, usually a private security guard, who knows them and reports on their performance.

Their job can include pointing the way to a monument, helping tourists negotiate a cab fare or walking them to a specific pizzeria or a pastry shop. The service is free and tips are not encouraged.

Giovanni Aspride, a 53-year-old former counterfeiter, said he and his colleagues usually wait for tourists to approach them, though they may come forward if somebody seems desperately lost or to tell a visitor to remove a gold watch or tuck a wallet in a safer pocket.

Though their criminal record does not have to be revealed, the

guides are not shy about discussing it if it comes up in conversation.

On a busy shopping street on Tuesday, Aspride pointed an Amer-ican couple just off a cruise ship to-ward baroque churches in the area,

then checked that they weren’t wear-ing any jewelry that could attract un-wanted attention.

“You OK,” he told them in broken English.

The tourists were unfazed when

told Aspride had served time.“It’s a great way to reintegrate

them into society,” said Brooke Cervine March, 37, of Santa Fe, New Mexico. “Everybody deserves a sec-ond chance.”

Embryo personhood initiatives spreadby Kristen Wyatt

The Associated Press

PUEBLO, Colo. — There’s nothing subtle about the sales pitch by abor-tion opponents who are gathering signatures at the Colorado State Fair for a ballot measure that would give legal rights to fertilized embryos.

“Would you like to sign a petition to stop abortion?” asks Keith Mason, head of suburban Denver’s Person-hood USA. During the two-week fair, Mason and a corps of volunteers gathered thousands of signatures to have Colorado’s constitution define personhood from “the beginning of biological development of a human being.”

“I think that people are people from the time they are conceived, and they should be treated as such,”

said Pat Kraus of La Junta, 61, who signed the petition at a booth under a “LIFE COUNTS” banner.

Personhood USA is similar to anti-abortion campaigns before it, but it’s taking a bolder approach. It wants to end all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest, by adding fertilized embryos to constitutional and legal definitions of humans.

Colorado last year became the first state where a “personhood” amendment made the ballot — but it was soundly defeated by 73 per-cent of voters. This year, proposed laws were rejected in the state leg-islatures of Montana and North Dakota.

Still, the movement is spread-ing. Amendment language has been cleared, with petition drives under way, in Colorado, Mississippi, Mon-

tana and Nevada. Amendment lan-guage will be filed later this month in California and Florida.

Personhood USA says it has chapters in 29 states working to get “personhood” measures placed on 2010 ballots or before state legisla-tures. Mason says the approach is catching on with abortion oppo-nents tired of incremental efforts against abortion.

As was the case last year in Col-orado, the “personhood” attempts will likely fail, Mason says, but at least they get right to the point of whether unborn children should have legal rights.

“We’re taking a stand and wait-ing for the culture to change around us. Instead of saying, ‘What can we get?’ we’re saying, ‘What do we be-lieve and what do we need to do?’”

Kristen Wyatt / AP PhotoPat Kraus, of La Junta, Colo., signs a petition Wednesday at the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo to put a measure outlawing abortion on the Colorado ballot. The measure seeks to end abortion by amending the Colorado constitution to define personhood from “the beginning of biological development of a human being.” A similar amendment was defeated by a 3-to-1 margin by Colorado voters last year.

Community Lecture Series

President Vicente Fox is known as a visionary leader with a deep understanding of the economic and social chal-lenges facing Latin America. Fox released his autobiogra-phy, Revolution of Hope: The Life, Faith, and Dreams of a Mexican President, in 2007.

The UNM Provost’s Office is hosting three outstanding lectures this Fall with a theme of Mexican relations and immigration. Former President of Mexico Vicente Fox will present the second lecture of the series.

300 beds short and we are short in every area of health care.”

The clinic is expected to run a net loss for UNM every year after it’s built, but the Regents said the public service it will provide is more valu-able than the money lost.

Committee Vice Chair Jamie Koch said UNM Hospital has to be careful to balance its commitments to the public with its need for funding.

“We’re not a profit hospital,” he said. “But we’re not funded as a pub-lic hospital. The public kind of thinks we are.”

He said UNM has to take into

account the money lost on building the new facility.

The committee approved several other hospital additions, including an $880,000 renovation of a critical-care wing built in 1984.

The committee also designated $856,000 to build additions to the orthopedic clinic on the first floor of UNM Hospital.

The Student Family Housing Units on south campus will also be renovated. The committee ap-proved $300,000 for new pavement for the units and $450,000 to re-place the roofs on the buildings.

The reason you use a trailing aver-age is to smooth out some of the short turns and ups and downs of the market.”

Stropp said the recession has caused many institutions the size of UNM to lengthen their payout period. The Foundation constantly reevaluates the averages in order to give the University a stable increase each year. Paying out on a trailing average is a way that institutions like the Foundation secure their own budget, he said.

“Some institutions use a moving 12-quarter average and many are moving to a 5-year or 20-quarter av-erage to smooth this thing out even more and so you catch the better quarters over the long term on ei-ther side,” Stropp said. “We’re look-ing at all the opportunities that are available to us.”

Zack said the Foundation is pay-ing careful attention to how their endowments and gifts are being allocated and invested. Prepara-tion for a public campaign for more

donations next year depends on the stability of this year’s success.

“We are actively watching our investments,” Zack said. “It’s a two-fold mission — one, to fundraise, and two, to make sure we are in-vesting properly and administer-ing properly. We actually had a little return versus our peers, and we’re doing better, but that’s because we do actively watch our portfolio. We consider that a high responsibilty to the University. You can’t be passive with that stuff.”

DA: We want everyone who is will-ing to work with us on this — Demo-crats and Republicans — and we will work towards that. President Obama has probably spent more time talk-ing to people in both parties than any president has on any major issue in recent times. I also think at the end of the day, this is not just a matter of process: It is a matter of progress. It is enormously important that we get something done, and we will get it done. We will do what the situation requires.

R: What was the message

Axelrod from page 2

building that housed the laborato-ry where she worked. Surveillance video shows her arriving around 10 a.m., but police had been baf-fled since the investigation began because there was no video of Le leaving, despite some 75 surveil-lance cameras operating around the complex. Her ID, money, cred-it cards and purse were found in her office.

More than 100 local, state and federal police had been searching the building for days, using blue-prints to uncover any place where evidence or Le’s body could be hidden.

Investigators on Saturday said they recovered evidence from the building, but would not confirm media reports that the items in-cluded bloody clothing.

On Sunday morning, a state po-lice van drove down a ramp into

the basement area of the building where the lab is located. Authori-ties also sifted through garbage at a Hartford incinerator Sunday, look-ing through trash that was taken from the building in the days since Le went missing.

Le, a pharmacology student from Placerville, Calif., wrote a magazine article earlier this year about how to stay safe around the Ivy League campus.

The article, titled “Crime and Safety in New Haven,” was pub-lished in February in a magazine produced by Yale’s medical school. It compares higher instances of rob-bery in New Haven with cities that house other Ivy League schools and includes an interview with Yale Po-lice Chief James Perrotti, who of-fers advice such as “pay attention to where you are” and “avoid portray-ing yourself as a potential victim.”

President Obama wanted to leave on the public option?

DA: The message is that he be-lieves it is important. He thinks it will be a valuable tool in terms of creat-ing competition and choice within the insurance exchange. But, it is one piece of the puzzle. It is a means to an end, and we should not forget what the end is. The end is to bring stability and security to people who have insurance by bringing in seri-ous meaningful insurance reforms and to help those who do not have insurance get insurance they can af-ford, (and) to bring down the cost of the whole system so it is sus-tainable. These are the objectives we have to achieve, and there are many elements to it and many ways to achieve it. We shouldn’t turn this into a partisan ideological fight over one aspect of it and lose our

opportunity to make great progress.R: What kind of obstacles are

there going to be to get this passed by Congress — what does the presi-dent have to do to get this moving?

DA: I think there is a great deal of progress being made even as we are standing here. We have had a long and vigorous debate. That is ap-propriate for an issue of this impor-tance and complexity. It has been a good and healthy debate in many ways, and in some ways not. All the ideas are out on the table now, and we need to pull the strands togeth-er and finish the job. I am optimis-tic — I think we are going to get this done.

TAMPA, Fla. — Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys are off to a good start without Terrell Owens.

Romo threw for 353 yards and three long touchdowns Sunday, helping the Cowboys begin the post-T.O. era with a 34-21 victory that ruined the Tampa Bay Bucca-neers’ debut under coach Raheem Morris.

Miles Austin avoided two tack-lers on the sideline to score on a 42-yard reception just before halftime, and Roy Williams streaked through a mistake-prone secondary on a 66-yard touchdown play early in the third quarter.

Romo teamed with Patrick Cray-ton, who had six catches for 135 yards, on the longest completion of the Pro Bowl quarterback’s career — 80 yards — for a fourth-quarter touchdown that thwarted any realistic hopes for a Tampa Bay comeback.

Byron Leftwich completed 25 of 41 passes for 276 yards and no inter-ceptions but took a beating from a relentless pass rush once Romo put the Cowboys in control. Cadillac Wil-liams and Derrick Ward each scored on 1-yard runs for the Bucs, who rushed for 174 yards but eventually had to abandon the running game.

Cadillac Williams, back after hav-ing surgery twice in 15 months, fin-ished with 97 yards on 13 carries. Ward was the catalyst on a long sec-ond-half drive that briefly put the

Bucs back in the game.Both teams are coming off sea-

sons that ended with December collapses that cost them playoffs berths. The Cowboys lost three of four down the stretch to finish 9-7, and the Bucs lost four straight after a 9-3 start and fired coach Jon Gruden, replacing him with Morris.

Dallas’ biggest offseason move was getting rid of Owens and mak-ing Roy Williams the lead receiv-er, a role he’s excited about after spending the first 5 and a half years of his career in Detroit and strug-gling in Owens’ shadow after be-ing obtained from the Lions at the trade deadline last season.

Romo completed his first two passes to the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Williams, but the duo remained relatively quiet until the receiv-er’s big third-quarter catch put the Cowboys up 20-7.

Williams went in motion on the play, turned upfield, ran past safety Sabby Piscitelli and made the catch splitting two defenders. Cornerback Ronde Barber dived and got a hand on Williams but couldn’t make the tackle.

Leftwich wasn’t sacked at all by a defense led by DeMarcus Ware; however, he did take several hard shots in the fourth quarter. The sev-enth-year pro led an 11-play, 84-yard drive that Ward capped with his touchdown, which trimmed Tampa Bay’s deficit to 20-14 with 13:45 remaining in the game.

Dallas Cowboys beat Tampa Bay in opener

Jordan cries, laughs at Hall of Fame induction

by Brian MahoneyThe Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Michael Jordan’s thank-you list went well be-yond friends and family.

There was the coach who cut him. The player who dissed him. The media who doubted him.

Anyone who ever provided Jor-dan with motivation to become a better player — perhaps the greatest one ever.

Jordan recalled all of it Friday night, when he joined David Robin-son and John Stockton, a pair of his 1992 Dream Team teammates, and coaches Jerry Sloan and C. Vivian Stringer in a distinguished class en-shrined in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.

“The game of basketball has been everything to me,” Jordan said.

Jordan insisted during a press conference that the weekend wasn’t just about him, but he was clearly the star before a crowd that includ-ed former teammates Scottie Pip-pen and Dennis Rodman.

“He makes one big shot and ev-erybody thinks he’s kind of cool,” Stockton joked. “I don’t get it.”

Jordan cried before beginning his acceptance speech, then enter-tained the crowd with memories of any slights that inspired him to get to basketball’s birthplace:

— The coach who cut him from the varsity team as a North Carolina schoolboy.

“I wanted to make sure you un-derstood: You made a mistake, dude.”

— Isiah Thomas, who allegedly orchestrated a “freezeout” of Jordan in his first All-Star game.

“I wanted to prove to you, Mag-ic (Johnson), Larry (Bird), George (Gervin), everybody that I deserved (to be there) just as much as any-body else, and I hope over the peri-od of my career I’ve done that with-out a doubt.”

— Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy — Jordan called him Pat Riley’s “lit-tle guy” — accused Jordan of “con-ning” players by acting friendly to-ward them, then attacking them in games.

“I just so happen to be a friend-ly guy. I get along with everybody, but at the same time, when the light

Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Alexis Ball fends off Tulsa midfielder Emily McElrath on Sunday at the UNM Soccer Complex. The Lobos and Golden Hurricane tied, putting the Lobos at 6-0-1 for the season.

by Loretta CardenasDaily Lobo

The record-shattering UNM women’s soccer team’s historic ride

continues. UNM remains

perfect at 6-0-1 and has tied the school record for

most matches without a loss after bat-tling Tulsa to a tie at the UNM Soccer Complex on Sunday.

The Lobos played through two tough overtimes, but in the end nei-ther team could find the back of the net.

Lobo goalkeeper Kelli Cornell did her part to keep the game scoreless, quickly nabbing the Golden Hurri-cane’s only shot on goal.

“This is why we recruited (Cor-nell),” head coach Kit Vela said. “She is every bit as good as we thought she would be. We just gave her a year to develop.”

UNM didn’t capitalize, despite outshooting Tulsa 27-4 and earning three more corner kicks.

Cornell, recording her sixth

shutout of the season, is quickly be-coming the backbone of the Lobos, Vela said. The redshirt freshman hasn’t allowed a goal in 294 minutes.

“Kelli has superseded anybody’s expectations,” forward Alexis Ball said. “She is a really solid keeper, and I feel very confident knowing that she’s behind us.”

UNM’s best opportunity to score came in the 83rd minute of regula-tion, when Ball received a pass into the middle of the field and took a shot toward the net, but a diving stop by Katie Bykowski kept it from going in.

“This is a cruel sport,” Vela said. “It doesn’t matter how many shots you take if you’re not getting it behind the back of the net. We have scorers, but when the other team is putting nine players behind the ball, it’s going to be tough for anybody.”

Ball said the Lobos can’t get com-placent, even though they’ve had suc-cess early on in the season.

“We need to continue finding our consistency,” she said. “We got a little too relaxed, but we need to just keep our focus through the final third of the game.”

per carry, and his longest rush was an 11-yard scamper against Texas A&M last week.

Of course, the nonexistent run-ning attack is a drop in the ocean of the Lobos’ failings — costly turnovers, unreliable passing, reliable three-and-outs — but let’s just focus on the rushing game. Is all lost if UNM can’t get it together on the ground?

Not necessarily. Legendary Lobo back DonTrell

Moore had a sluggish start to his freshman campaign, notching zero yards in his first two games. He then went on to score 13 touchdowns that season, averaging 111 yards in the fi-nal 10 games and helping the Lobos clinch their second bowl bid in 41 years. Moore ran for 1,117 yards that year, setting the UNM freshman rush-ing record.

Similar story for Ferguson: The re-cently-cut running back had a quiet freshman season backing up Moore, and when he returned from injury in 2006, his first few games found him and a sluggish Lobo offense strug-gling for wins. Then came his 162-yard explosion against UTEP in week 4, after which he never looked back. Ferguson chipped in 1,234 yards that year, enough to lead the Mountain West Conference, and he finished his

career in Albuquerque third on the UNM all-time rushing list.

But not all of history falls on the Lobos’ side.

With Saturday’s loss, Locksley be-comes just the fourth first-year UNM coach to lose his home opener. And his losing brethren don’t make for good company: Rudy Feldman and Mike Sheppard went on to lose every game of their first seasons.

But the past, of course, doesn’t dic-tate the future. Locksley’s not doomed to a failed season. However, by that same token, Dennis and the Lobos’ running attack aren’t fated to turn it all around.

Instead, the Lobos have anoth-er disappointment under their belts, and, on Saturday against Air Force, another chance to prove that Lock-sley’s remodeling job won’t dig up the foundation.

Vanessa Sanchez / Daily LoboTrue freshman Demond Dennis dashes past Tulsa’s Brian Moore. UNM’s running game, a staple of past Lobo squads, has been nonexistent so far this season.

comes on, I’m as competitive as anybody you know,” Jordan said.

— The media who said Jordan, though a great player, would never win like Bird or Johnson.

“I had to listen to all that, and that put so much wood on that fire that it kept me each and every day trying to get better as a basketball player.”

— Lastly, Utah’s Bryon Russell. Jordan recalled meeting Russell while he was retired and playing mi-nor league baseball in 1994 — and with Sloan looking on in horror — told of how Russell insisted he could have covered him if Jordan was still playing. Russell later got two cracks at Jordan in the NBA finals, and he was the defender when Jordan hit the clinching shot to win the 1998 title.

“From this day forward, if I ever see him in shorts, I’m coming at him.”

The enshrinement ceremony

took place at Springfield’s Sympho-ny Hall, because Jordan was too big for the Hall of Fame. The move to the other building allowed for a crowd of about 2,600, more than double what the Hall can accommodate.

Robinson was enshrined first on Friday before a large San Antonio con-tingent, which included teammates Tim Duncan and Avery Johnson, and coaches Larry Brown and Gregg Pop-ovich. Stockton told the Spurs that his running mate, Karl Malone, was the best power forward, not Duncan.

Stringer, the first coach to lead three different teams to the Final Four, still couldn’t believe a coal miner’s daughter had made it, calling it the “most unusual, unexpected thing in the world.”

She thanked her players — “bas-ketball daughters” — and praised her 2007 Rutgers team for the class and dignity it showed after the racially insensitive comments made by Don Imus.

� e injury-plagued UNM vol-leyball team managed a runner-up � nish at the Lobo Challenge this

weekend.After sweep-

ing Cal State Fullerton on Friday — 25-

19, 25-17, 25-22 — the Lobos were handed their � rst loss of the season Friday at the hands of Baylor in a hard-fought 3-2 thriller. On Satur-day, UNM recovered with a 3-1 vic-tory against Pittsburgh.

� e Lobos are now 7-1 for the season.

While UNM wasn’t particular-ly happy about settling for second place — and in its own tournament, no less — head coach Je� Nelson said he was pleased with his team’s perseverance.

“Did we have a great weekend? No, not the greatest. But I would say we had a good weekend,” he said. “We would have liked to win all three matches, obviously. But con-sidering we fought through being tired and all the injuries, I’m glad we were able to get two out of three.”

� e Lobos entered the week-end with a few battle scars. Fresh-man defensive specialist Melissa Rohr missed out on Friday’s match-es with a concussion she sustained diving for a ball during practice. Se-nior middle hitter Anna Lehne also missed two days of practice last week with � u-like symptoms.

� en, at 22-22 in the fourth set against Pittsburgh, senior outside hitter Rose Morris su� ered a nas-ty � nger injury while attempting

a block. Morris’ right pinky � nger was dislocated with a possible com-pound fracture as the bone broke through the skin. � e match was delayed 20 minutes to clean up the blood.

“We were all kind of stunned,” junior outside hitter Taylor Had-� eld said. “We knew we had to stay in the match and not let it get into our heads, so we just focused and decided that we’d � nish the match for Rose.”

� e Lobos buckled down and rallied behind three kills by Had-� eld and a Pittsburgh attack error for the 26-24 win.

“I really liked the way we pulled together as a team,” Nelson said. “Finger injuries like that actually happen a lot. It’s just unfortunate to see because Rose was playing incredible volleyball, but we have a number of players ready to go o� the bench.”

Had� eld � nished the match with a .504 hitting percentage and a ca-reer-high 16 kills. Other career-high performances on the weekend in-cluded Morris’ 20 kills and sopho-more libero Allison Buck’s 23 digs, both coming in Saturday’s match against Baylor.

“It’s great that we have people stepping up for us,” said junior set-ter Jade Michaelsen, who along with Morris was named to the all-tournament team. “When we have people who are hurt and when we have people who are sick, it’s good to know that we have a number of people who can come in and get the job done.”

However, there’s little time for rest and recuperation, as UNM has a busy week ahead. � e Lobos

conference opener is Wednesday, where it will host Texas Christian for Greeks at the Game Night. � e team will then hit the road to visit Tucson, Ariz., on Friday for the Wildcat Invi-tational, hosted by No. 25 University of Arizona.

Nelson said the coming week will test the Lobos.

“We’ll need to bounce back and get on it quick if we want to be suc-cessful,” he said. “� ere’s no doubt in my mind that Baylor is a top-25 program, and we were right there with them. I feel like we deserve to get recognition at this point, and we’ll have some opportunities this week to prove ourselves.”

fourth quarter rolled around, only the few and the proud endured the whipping wind and watched the fi-nal seconds tick off the clock.

“The energy was there in the sta-dium for at least a half, until right around after halftime when they went and scored on us,” Locksley said, “I thought our fans hung in there with us.”

During the week leading up to the Lobos’ home opener with Tulsa, Locksley invoked the old saw that “it takes a village to raise a child.”

Perhaps, but if the village doesn’t approve of the way you’re rearing the child, trust that they will turn on you.

Two games into the season, Lock-sley’s head coach rating is about as mixed as Planter’s Nuts, with some anxiously waiting to break out the “Bring Rocky Back” banners, others encouraging impatient fans not to jump the gun.

Nancy Dugger, who attended UNM from 1975 to 1976 and donates to the athletics department, said fans are too pessimistic, regardless of who dons the headset and roams the sidelines.

“You have to give (Locksley) three years until he gets his style of player in,” she said. “Nothing against these kids, but we don’t get blue chippers here. Just once in a while you get a diamond in the rough.”

Others aren’t as sympathetic to the new coach’s plight.

Ed Grisko, 80, has been coming to Lobo games for almost 50 years. At the very least, Grisko said, Lock-sley should have basic game-man-agement skills.

“I don’t agree with the way he’s calling his plays,” he said. “They’re going shotgun with (2) yards to go. That’s not a very good decision. He should know that stuff.”

Grisko added that he’s still wait-ing for the scoreboard to light up, too.

“I don’t agree with him keeping

in the quarterback with the way he’s performing so far,” he said. “I think I could do better than him. Send me in, coach. It’s (been) two games and they haven’t even got an offensive touchdown.”

Wide receiver Daryl Jones urged fans not to jump off the bandwagon just yet, even though it appears both axles are broken.

“Don’t go to sleep on us just be-cause these two first games were rough,” he said.

Sandpaper’s rough. How the Lobos have lost their first two games of the season has been unsightly, getting outscored 85-16 and looking more like a Pop Warner team than a Division I college team.

Lobo offensive lineman Erik Cook said that if he were in those fans’ shoes, he probably wouldn’t want to keep watching either.

“When your home team is get-ting beat 44-10, you’re not going to want to stay,” he said.

At the same time, Cook said it wouldn’t hurt if fans followed the team more religiously.

“You look at some big-time pro-grams and their fans stay no matter what,” he said.

But Jones said it’s not about giv-ing preachy sermons to this con-gregation of Lobo fans. It’s simply about winning, or, if nothing else, being competitive.

“We just have to come out and please the fans,” he said. “They want to see an exciting offense. It’s all on us. Hopefully we can pull off a win-ning season.”

Dugger said she doesn’t know if winning would help rectify the problem.

“This has been Lobo football my whole life,” she said. “If we’re los-ing like this, people leave. The fans that are here are your true football fans. Football will never (be big) be-cause of basketball. This is a basket-ball town. (Locksley) has everything against him.”

Locksley apparently isn’t as jaded.

“I think the diehards will be there,” Locksley said. “This is the first phase of a renovation. I still have the utmost confidence in the players and coaches in that locker room.”

But does everybody else?Maybe it doesn’t take a village to

raise a child. Just a family. Undoubt-edly, the Lobos’ locker-room bond will be tested mightily in the up-coming weeks.

Vanessa Sanchez / Daily LoboFirst-year head coach Mike Locksley watches a play Saturday during UNM’s 44-10 loss to Tulsa. Some fans are disappointed by the way Locksley’s Lobos have performed in two games this season.

where we thought we could get some good matchups out of it.”

The team put together an 11-play, 56-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter and two 70-plus yard touchdown drives in the third, all led by Tulsa sophomore

quarterback G.J. Klinne.He completed 22-of-35 passes

for 310 yards and four touchdowns.Even Tulsa backup quarterback

Jacob Bowler threw a touchdown against the Lobos in the fourth quarter.

FootballSports editor / Isaac Avilucea

by Isaac AviluceaDaily Lobo

New Mexico is a grand whine cellar.Choosing to chastise Lobo football a� cio-

nados in his scathing departing shot, former head coach Rocky Long said in not so many words that UNM football supporters were nothing more than wine-and-cheese fans. � ey’re just there to taste and criticize.

And they wanted California grapes to grow in a New Mexico vineyard.

“If you want to compete with the big boys, you better start acting like a big-time pro-gram, and that’s not just the football team or the football coaches — that’s the damn

fans,” he said during his resignation speech in December.

Either � rst-year head coach Mike Lock-sley failed to take note of that when he ac-cepted the job, or he conveniently ignored it in hopes that he could make those same lukewarm followers stay for dinner.

Not on Saturday, when the Lobos got griddled 44-10 by the Golden Hurricane. About midway through the third quarter, fans made a mass exodus, � ooding the aisles to get to their cars before tra� c jammed.

An announced crowd of 30,051 came for the Lobos’ home opener, but by the time the

by Mario TrujilloDaily Lobo

� e UNM football team has yet to score an o� ensive touchdown after their 44-10 loss at the hands of Tulsa on Saturday at University

Stadium.“It’s been a

long time since I went two games without scoring a touchdown,”

head coach Mike Locksley said. “I think the ine� ectiveness of the run game (was a factor) again. I’m used to being able to run the football. We have to � nd a way to manufacture big plays.”

So far, the Lobos’ only touch-down two games into the sea-son came from the legs of outside linebacker Tray Hardaway, who scooped up a fumble and steamed 92 yards to the end zone about one minute into the fourth quarter.

Only about half of the 30,051 Lobo fans who went to the game re-mained in the stands to witness the touchdown. By that time, it wasn’t enough to stop the Lobo hemor-rhaging, because they trailed 30-10.

If it’s any consolation to Locksley and his Lobos, Tulsa head coach Todd Graham said UNM’s defense play was solid — for at least half the game.

“� ey did better than I thought

they would,” he said.In one play, the Lobos’ defense

nearly matched the 171 yards the o� ense totaled.

� e o� ense, on the other hand, littered the � eld with missed oppor-tunities. � ey were 1-of-15 on third-down conversions, 1-for-3 on fourth down and fumbled six times, losing the ball on three occasions.

“We had opportunities to make big plays, at least in the � rst half, and we shot ourselves in the foot,” Locksley said.

� e Lobos � rst and only scoring drive came late in the � rst quarter. Donovan Porterie, who � nished the game throwing 12-of-22 for 85 yards and one interception, completed a

29-yard pass to wide receiver Nick Wilhelm, pushing the Lobos to mid� eld. � en, a 19-yard reverse to Daryl Jones set up a 48-yard � eld goal by James Aho, making it 7-3.

Aho, the only o� ensive player to score, is 3-for-3 on � eld goals this season.

If the bane of UNM’s o� ense was missed opportunity, then the Gold-en Hurricane’s success sprang from seized chances.

Lobo turnovers and a failed fourth-down conversion set up Tul-sa with the ball inside UNM territo-ry, and three times the Golden Hur-ricane found the end zone in less than a minute.

� e � rst Lobo fumble came o� a

Frankie Solomon punt return in the � rst quarter. � e Golden Hurricane recovered on the Lobo 16. Four plays later, Tulsa capped the drive with a touchdown.

Tulsa got a pair of touchdowns after starting its last two drives from the Lobos’ 25- and 37-yard lines.

� e Golden Hurricane proved they could also march the length of the � eld, utilizing the passing game and throwing for 338 yards.

“We just take whatever they give us,” Graham said. “If they were go-ing to load it up in the box, we were going to throw the football. � ey gave us a lot of two-deep situations

by Damian GardeDaily Lobo

� rough thick and thin — and mostly thin — the Lobo football team has been able to count on one thing: the running game.

From Don Perkins to Don Woods, from Winslow Oliver to Rodney Ferguson, almost every era of UNM football has had a mar-quee back to carry the team.

So, when this year’s Lobo squad aver-ages 38 yards on the ground and a dismal 1.6 yards per carry over its � rst two games, there’s some cause for concern among the UNM faithful.

Even head coach Mike Locksley, who per-haps got spoiled by the dominant Rashard Mendenhall during his tenure at Illinois, is

struggling to � nd a remedy.“With this same style of o� ense (at Flori-

da and Illinois) we led the SEC and the Big 10 in rushing,” Locksley said. “How do we get it back on track? Obviously, we’ve got to block better up front and make sure when we have opportunities, our running backs are hitting the point of attack.”

True freshman Demond Dennis was re-cruited to “manufacture (the) big plays,” Locksley mentioned at the news conference after Saturday’s game. After Ferguson and Paul Baker graduated last year, the 5-foot-9-inch running back turned down big-name schools like Georgia so he could play a ma-jor role in the Lobo o� ense.

Problem is, he’s only averaging 2.4 yards
