� e GPSA wants to give head football coach Mike Locksley a sec-ond chance.

� e Graduate and Professional Students Association passed a reso-lution Saturday urging the Univer-sity not to terminate the coach, who is under � re after he had an alterca-tion with assistant coach Jonathan “J.B.” Gerald Sept. 20.

� e GPSA passed the resolution with 13 in favor, none opposed and two abstentions.

� e graduate student govern-ment recommends Locksley go to anger management, engage in me-diation with Gerald and attend peer mentoring-group meetings.

“� e GPSA feels strongly that coach Locksley’s violent behavior should not be condoned,” according to the resolution.

Locksley said on Sunday that he wasn’t aware the GPSA had passed the resolution.

However, the coach said he would take whatever measures are necessary to clear his name, even if it means accepting further sanc-tions after the investigation by the University’s Human Resources department.

“I’m willing to do whatever Human Resources dictates I do,” he said. “I’m willing to do anything to mend a relationship with a friend. As far as what their outlines are, I don’t know much about the reso-lution. Just as a person, I’ll do any-thing that I need to do to improve as a head coach.”

GPSA President Lissa Knud-sen said several groups asked for the graduate student government’s opinion on the issue.

“I got a couple of calls from a cou-ple di� erent departments that were not council reps,” she said. “All ex-pressed interest in � nding out how graduate and professional students felt about this issue. � ey felt like we should take some kind of stance on this.”

GPSA member Michelle Touson said at the meeting that Locksley stay-ing on at the University would teach his players to adapt to challenges.“I would like to see coach Locksley stay around simply because the best example he can show his young men is that you can rebound from mistakes,” Touson said.

Andrew Ah Young, who graduated from UNM in May, said his family felt the earthquake that hit his hometown in American Samoa before the tsu-nami waves washed everything away last week.

Tsunami waves poured over American Samoa on Sept. 29 after an 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck the small cluster of South Paci� c islands.

Young said he started to panic as he learned there were casualties.

“It wasn’t until I noticed that peo-ple had gone missing and some dead that I began to break down,” he said in an e-mail. “I felt powerless, helpless, scared, angry, sad and very lonely. My whole family is in Samoa. I have no

Q A&UESTI

ON

WES HENDERSONHOWL RAISERSNSWER

Always in cherry and silver, President of Howl Raisers Wes Henderson tries to raise school spirit among students at UNM. Members of Howl Raisers go to the Lobos’ athletics events to cheer the teams on and promote sportsmanship. Henderson gathered over 1,000 mem-bers for the group this fall.

Daily Lobo: What started your inter-est in showing school spirit at athletic events?

Wes Henderson: When I moved here in 1997, I had been a Navy brat. I lived in so many di� erent places. My parents took me to one of the greatest basketball games of all time — a game against Utah. Ever since then, I’ve been following the Lobos, which gave me a sense of something I could actually grasp. � ese games gave me an avenue for something that I could keep up with

and really enjoy.DL: What ways are you involving the

students, and which groups of students are you targeting in particular?

WH: Obviously we target sports fans, but we also want to target stu-dents who are under the micro-scope in the chemistry hall, in the astronomy building et cetera. � en we � nd out why they are not attending the games and how we can involve them. We want to change the philosophy of getting people to games through incen-tives. We put together an incentive pro-gram derived from Georgetown Uni-versity, which allows students to scan a barcode and earn points when they attend a sporting event. � ese points work towards gaining free stu� .

DL: What is your main goal for Howl Raisers? How do you plan on reaching that projected goal?

WH: One of our goals is to increase student attendance at all sporting events. Howl Raisers wants our student section to be the best in the Mountain West — then, soon, the best in the coun-try. We admire the larger schools’ stu-dent sections. We are bringing in more sponsors and increasing our volunteer base. We are also working at getting our Howl Raisers Web site to be accessible, therefore visible for all students and the community.

DL: Many students only support ath-letics when the team is winning. How do you keep these students involved and interested despite a few losses?

Events give a sense of life with a disability

by Nicole RazDaily Lobo

The Associated Students for Em-powerment hosted Disability Aware-ness Day on Friday to help the UNM community appreciate the day-to-day experience of being disabled.

The ASE hosted several activi-ties to show able-bodied individuals what it is like to be disabled, including wheelchair basketball and a blindfold obstacle course.

High school student Carter Radzka participated in the wheelchair chal-lenge. He said moving through cam-pus in a wheelchair wasn’t easy.

“We see people who are handi-capped around, but we never have the opportunity to experience it,” he said. “After trying out being in a wheelchair, it’s shocking how much they have to go through every day just to get sim-ple things done.”

Albuquerque’s wheelchair bas-ketball team, the Kings, encouraged people to sit in a wheelchair and play basketball with them. Jake Schmalz-riedt, a representative for the team, said the Kings began at UNM and are always looking for more student participation.

Junfu Han / Daily LoboHector Nava, center, plays wheelchair basketball near the SUB with Ryan Johnson, right, during Disability Awareness Day on Friday. The event, hosted by the Associated Students for Empowerment, featured a blindfold obstacle course and information booths.

“All you need is any type of low-er-limb disability,” he said. “It could be as severe as an amputee, or as lit-tle as having a blown-out knee. This team was started by UNM students about 30 years ago, and now it is half

community and half students.”The city of Albuquerque’s Hu-

man Rights Office hosted a booth providing courses for people with disabilities. Juanita C. Martinez, the

“I can’t be sick now. I have too much to do. I don’t have time!”

We hear this all the time at Student Health and Counseling. You have a paper to write, an exam to take or a ton of homework to get done.

“This is exactly the wrong time to be sick! Do something, doc! Fix me now!”

If only it were that easy. But the harsh truth is, sick happens. Germs are everywhere. They come in many forms and strains and get all of us at one time or another. The common cold is common.

During times of stress, you are even more likely to get sick. Stress stomps on your im-mune system, and viruses are waiting to take advantage of your weakened state. Just like

computer viruses, they sneak in and wreak havoc. Unfortunately, however, modern medi-cine has not yet invented Norton AntiVirus for humans. There is no magic pill to get you in-stantly well.

But here’s where you hold the trump card. Your body can cure the common cold. That’s what your immune system is for. And it works! Miraculously, eventually, you will get well. But you have to give it time. You have to be patient. You have to pause, slow down, listen to your body and give it the rest it needs while it does its amazing cure job. And maybe your body is telling you some-thing else. Maybe you need to come up for air, take some time for yourself, get a break from the rat race. Maybe you are trying to do too much, and your body knows it. That paper isn’t going anywhere. The sun will still come up tomorrow whether you’re in class or in bed.

The exam can be rescheduled. Life goes on. In these days of instant gratification, instant messaging and drive-thru everything, we for-get that our bodies are part of the natural world, which mostly doesn’t function in nano-seconds. Nature belies a quick fix. When you’re flattened by a virus, you learn the primitive truth. Sick happens. When it happens to you, take some time and take good care of yourself. You deserve it.

I have never hit anyone in my life, because it is indicative of my character. I have 250 sets of eyes watching me daily, and had I ever hit anyone in my past 15 years at UNM, I would have been history, plain and simple. No ques-tions asked. As a coach, Locksley is a mentor to the impressionable young players that look to him as an example, and what a pitiful example he is. It’s time for him to step down, and time for the Athletics Department to hire some-

one with a sterling reputation as its football coach. Part of being a coach is not necessarily all about wins and losses, but what we learn in the process, and how we are respected as an-other human being, whether it be in the locker room, on the field or at a coaches meeting.

Coach Locksley has tarnished the honor and reputation of the University and should be removed pronto. We can only hope that the Human Resources investigation concurs.

Lowell Gibbs UNM staff

In “Health care system must change,” pub-lished Friday, Iyah Romm, a medical stu-dent at Boston University, wrote that many Americans have suffered because they don’t have health insurance. Romm said President Obama needs to take this opportunity to re-form the health care system. Readers on Dai-lyLobo.com responded.

by ‘slowhike’Posted Friday“As students and professionals, we need to

look at what has worked well in the past, not at what hasn’t worked well. The USA has stu-dents like Iyah to count on, and the reason he is getting a world-class medical education is because the current system has evolved world-class knowledge, diagnosis, treatment and re-search, as well as great medical schools.

There isn’t a medical health nirvana just around the corner. If there was, it would exist in Canada, France and the U.K., and the USA would have pursued it long ago. The truth is that this is not as simple an issue as Obama and his supporters would have the voters and Congress think.”

by ‘Doc John’Posted Friday“The Constitution guarantees life, liber-

ty and property at the hands of government. It doesn’t guarantee your life or health at the hands of fate nor at the expense of some-one else’s property. That is your responsibil-ity. All the proposed health care bills are un-constitutional by multiple violations of the Constitution.”

by ‘thomas’Posted Friday“The government has never been able to

do anything except tax and spend. Do you really think they have your best interest in mind? And if this government program is so damn good, why isn’t Congress signed up for it? Making you dependant and controlled by the government is all the current administra-tion wants and cares about — getting elected and staying in office.”

by ‘Margaret King’Posted Friday“We have a terrible health care system. It

is run by insurance companies that are com-prised of some of the most greedy people on earth. No one should be sentenced to die be-cause they don’t have health care. … The rich benefit far more in every way from so-called “socialism” than do 95 percent of the rest of our population. It is great for the rich but not good for the rest of us. As long as we have peo-ple who are brainwashed by those who con-trol them, health care will remain in a sad and sorry state.”

this week’s poLL:Anti-abortion organization Justice for All presents 18-foot post-ers including graphic images of aborted fetuses in Smith Plaza this week. Are such images a useful tool to change people’s minds about abortion?

Yes. This is the best way to spark conversation about an issue people don’t like to discuss.

Yes. The photos allow students to fully comprehend the fetal development of a child and show that abortion is inhumane.

No. It’s a gruesome display and doesn’t make anyone want to rationally dis-cuss abortion with members of Justice For All.

No. Photos of bloody aborted fetuses don’t capture human sympathy.

WH: We keep students involved through our incentive program. It is true, New Mexico students and fans are flicker fans. By having this point system, they have the incentive to go to the games in order to earn free stuff. This makes the games much more enjoyable. What student in col-lege doesn’t like free stuff? We give out free food, shirts, Angelfire Ski Re-sort tickets and more.

DL: How has Howl Raisers per-sonally affected you?

WH: It is something that UNM has never had before. I get jealous when I

see other large student sections. This year was the first time ever that we presold out the student section prior to the New Mexico State game. Stu-dents were still able to get their free tickets, even though we sold out of the student section. It is really nice to be a part of this organization, because I can watch it grow. It has been great to see this organization grow so much — it brings new people in every day. Stu-dent involvement is great and is the main reason for putting this organiza-tion together.

~ Candace Hsu

investigations officer for the office, said it hears many concerns from dis-abled members of the UNM commu-nity who want campus resources to be more accessible.

“It’s important that not only the educators here become more aware, but the campus itself becomes more universal,” Martinez said. “Hope-fully this awareness day will not only broaden awareness but also open up a possible dialogue on campus to get people talking about these issues and advocate change.”

Patricia Small, an instruc-tional media specialist at the

Accessibility Resource Center, said UNM educates faculty members on disability accommodations.

“Faculty are getting more edu-cated about it,” Small said. “We send letters out. Our Web site has more in-struction on it.”

The National Federation of the Blind of New Mexico also had an in-formation booth at Disability Aware-ness Day. Senior Tara Sena, one of the students running the booth, said be-ing blind isn’t a problem that sepa-rates her from the community.

“I want the community to know that blindness is merely a physical

nuisance,” she said. “It is nothing to be ashamed of. I can do whatever I want, and just because I can’t see doesn’t mean I am any different than the rest of the world.”

degree in biology. He is now getting his Ph.D. in molecular and cellular bi-ology at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Young said he didn’t know a natural disaster had hit close to his home until he checked his Facebook account.

“My friends had commented on my page asking how my family was,” he said. “I didn’t know what they were talking about until I started read-ing the news about the tsunami.” As his friends kept updating their Fa-cebook pages, he felt his heart drop, he said. He tried to call his family and couldn’t reach them.

“I tried calling my mom, but the phone lines were shut down,” he said. “It was frustrating. It’s one thing to see pictures of the damage, and another to be in the middle of the devastation.”

Young said he then went to an iso-lated corner in the laboratory where we works and prayed.

Young said he used Facebook chat to ask a friend in Samoa to call his house. “She tried, but no one picked up,” he said. “She kept trying for an hour or so, until my mom picked up. I told my

friend to tell my mom that I love her so much and to please be safe.”

Shannon McCoy-Hayes, Young’s undergraduate biology adviser, said she learned of how the disaster affect-ed Young’s family through Facebook messages and photo album links. “I could hear the anguish that he was feeling,” she said. “He wanted to fly home immediately to help out but felt that it might be a bad idea since resources are so scarce on the islands right now. I just felt so badly for him.”

Young said the UNM commu-nity has been supportive. He’s got-ten countless text messages and calls from friends and mentors.

“On my way home after work, Maggie Werner-Washburne finally got ahold of me,” he said. “By this time, I still couldn’t get ahold of my family. I really couldn’t contain my emotions anymore and I broke down crying. I don’t know if Maggie understood any word I said, because I mumbled.”

Werner-Washburne is the director of Initiatives for Minority Student De-velopment, and Young worked with her in the research program while he

studied at UNM.McCoy-Hayes sent an e-mail to

undergraduate and departmental list-servs Sept. 30, letting everyone know what had happened to Young’s family and what UNM could do to help him.

“I hope that Andrew doesn’t mind that I did this,” she said in an e-mail. “He did not ask me to. It was just the fastest and easiest way I knew of to help him, his family and his home-town out and to let everyone at the biology department, his friends and professors know that he was OK.”

Young said Samoans are in dire need of food, water and clothes.

“In addition to material things, please continue to pray for Samoa,” he said. “Also, please pray for the people of Indonesia, as they too are experi-encing the worst of Mother Nature.”

Council member Robyn Lubis-co suggested the council table the vote and wait for more informa-tion. She said due process would resolve the issue.

Touson said Locksley person-ally recruited young players who might leave if he is fired.

Lubisco said hypothetical situa-tions like that weren’t important to the GPSA’s resolution.

“A lot of us don’t know about the situation here today,” Lubiso said. “A lot of us are reading quotes or making assumptions that if he leaves, people will leave.”

get reimbursed.“The students actually are respon-

sible for getting the receipts and filling out the claims,” he said.

Childers said his office does not handle the claims but passes them on to the Department of Risk Management.

Mike Tuttle, manager of risk man-agement, insurance and claims at UNM, said the state of New Mexico will handle the claims.

“There’s a process we follow where you report the claim to me … and an

adjuster will be assigned, and the adjuster would handle their claim through state risk management,” he said. “Our insurance carrier is the State of New Mexico.”

Hunter said she is still collecting receipts before filing her claim.

“It cost $141 to get it all cleaned,” she said. “I have to file a damage re-port once I get all the receipts.”

Childers said the damage at Hoko-na Hall could have been much worse.

“I don’t think there was major damage here,” he said.

LUBBOCK, Texas — At the be-ginning of the third quarter, the clouds huddled over Jones AT&T Stadium finally opened up.

And as the rain came down, Texas Tech started to pour the points on the UNM football team.

Tech drowned the Lobos 48-28. Backup quar-terback Steven Sheffield re-placed nation-leading passer

Taylor Potts — who was injured af-ter getting sacked — with 56 sec-onds left in the second quarter and guided the Red Raiders to 28 un-answered points, 21 of which came in a span of about eight minutes in the third quarter.

Lobos’ head coach Mike Lock-sley said UNM’s close to getting a win.

“I see brighter days for us as a program, and I see them coming soon,” he said. “I don’t believe in moral victories, and I don’t believe in close victories. It’s winning and losing, and we lost today.”

With Tech up, 42-28, the Red Raiders recovered another UNM onside kick with 42 seconds left in the game. Wide receiver Alex Tor-res scooped up the ball, slipped behind the Lobo kickoff coverage team and returned the kick to the UNM 12-yard line.

Harrison Jeffers scored two plays later from the 2-yard line as time expired in the fourth quarter, leading to the final score, 48-28.

Locksley said he didn’t think Tech’s head coach Mike Leach showed poor sportsmanship by scoring when the game was al-ready decided.

“Mike has a lot of respect for the Lobos and the fight they have,”

Locksley said. “They scored a touchdown with two seconds left and, in my opinion, they have a lot of respect for us.”

Before Sheffield took over, Potts faced a relentless Lobo pass rush which forced him into throwing two interceptions to UNM corner-back Nathan Enriquez.

“We tried to throw them off and not allow them to get comfortable,” Enriquez said. “We are looking to get turnovers and get our offense on the field to score some points.”

Enriquez and the Lobo defense forced five turnovers and recov-ered one onside kick, but it still wasn’t enough for UNM to earn its first win of the year.

Quarterback Donovan Porterie completed 30 passes for 316 yards, two touchdowns and no intercep-tions. It was Porterie’s first 300-yard passing game since the 2007 New Mexico Bowl, when he threw for over 350 yards.

“I think that we proved that we can move the ball and sustain drives within this game,” Porte-rie said. “The next step for us is

coming out and starting a little bit faster. In these first few games, we have come out in the first quar-ter and had a tie or had a lead. We still have to learn to put our (oppo-nents) away.”

Running back A.J. Butler be-came the first UNM freshman since Dontrell Moore in 2002 to rush for over 100 yards in a game.

Butler praised the offensive line for opening holes and allowing him to gain 103 yards and score a touchdown. Butler also had nine catches for 39 yards.

“I felt pretty good about this game,” he said. “But I have to give a lot of credit to the offensive line. They worked their butts off for this game.”

Locksley said UNM’s perfor-mance against Tech proves the Lobos are starting to gel.

“I was really pleased offensive-ly that we finally made a few plays and adjustments,” Locksley said. “We had some in-game adjust-ments that we were finally able to make, which, to me, shows a team that is maturing.”

Rose Morris made a memorable return to the volleyball court Saturday at Johnson Gym.

After missing seven matches since she dislocated her left pinky finger while blocking against Pittsburgh Sept. 12, the senior captain collected 11 kills, four digs and three blocks to help lead UNM to a 25-7, 25-22, 25-20 victory over Air Force.

The Lobos earned their third-straight win to improve to 11-5 on the season and 3-2 in the Mountain West Conference. Meanwhile, the Falcons fell to 8-9 overall and 0-5 in conference.

“It was awesome to see (Morris) get out there and do so well,” said head coach Jeff Nelson. “She brings an intensity and determination to the court that we missed while she was out.”

Morris’ injury required stitches, and her hand was splinted and heav-ily wrapped Saturday.

Morris said she played through some pain during the Lobos’ 3-0 win.

“Every time I pass or block, it jolts and shakes my finger,” she said. “I told the athletic trainers that I can deal with it. I mean, I wouldn’t come

back early if I had a risk of re-injuring myself.”

Morris wasn’t the only UNM player to get in on the dominating offensive action. Sophomore Ashley Rhoades posted a career-high 15 kills and hit .619. Junior Lisa Meeter chipped in seven kills. As a team, UNM hit .460.

“We all came out pumped up and ready to play,” Rhoades said. “Every conference match matters, and our team knows it.”

UNM jumped out to a 10-1 lead in game one and never looked back. The Lobos hit .667 in the set and didn’t commit a single error en route to the 25-7 shellacking.

“You have to hand it to Air Force: They battled back,” Morris said. “They took a set off of Utah, so they’re not a team who is just going to roll over and give it to you.”

Paced by St. Pius X High School graduate Caroline Kurtz’s team-high 11 kills, Air Force kept it close in games two and three.

The Falcons jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the second set and battled evenly to a 19-19 tie. But Morris had four kills in the Lobos’ 7-3 surge to give UNM a two-set lead.

Nelson tapped into his reserves in the third game, as senior Allie Suiter and freshmen Rachel Barber,

Jackie Rodriguez and Jordan Russell all saw playing time. But at 20-20, it was Rhoades who put down four of the final five Lobo points to seal the win.

“Even though someone new is in the lineup, we still know they are go-ing to get the job done,” said setter Jade Michaelsen. “Especially in game three, we showed that everyone on our roster is capable of playing at a high level.”

UNM hits the road this week for a critical three-match road trip. The Lobos visit MWC rivals BYU and Utah this week, before heading south Oct. 13 for a battle against interstate rival NMSU.

“We need to get in some good practices this week to be ready to come out and play,” Michaelsen said. “These are three tough teams, but if we play like we know we can, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t pick up three more wins.”

If the UNM women’s first con-ference game is any indication, the Lobos might soon prove to the rest of the Mountain West Conference that their 8-1-2 nonconference start wasn’t just for show.

In UNM’s con-ference opener, the Lobos hosted Texas Christian University Satur-day at the UNM

Soccer Complex and bounced back from their first loss of the sea-son with a 1-0 win.

“Last week, everybody was all over us that we lost our first game to Northern Arizona, but that game was taken away from us,” said head coach Kit Vela. “We’re just happy to win our first conference game. They’re a good group and I hope we can continue this.”

With the victory, the Lobos im-proved to 9-1-2 overall and became only the second team in Vela’s ten-ure to win at least nine games. The last squad to do it was in 2002.

TCU matched up evenly with the Lobos, and it was one of the toughest games UNM had all sea-son, Vela said.

But the Lobos prevailed with the help of their most powerful scorer, Jennifer Williams, who scored her ninth goal of the season — and her sixth game-winner — in the open-ing minute of the second half.

A back-heel pass from Alex-is Ball caught Williams in stride and allowed her to outmaneuver TCU’s goalkeeper Kelsey Waters.

Williams capitalized on the op-portunity, giving UNM a 1-0 advantage.

“I flicked it on to Lex, and she held onto it and heel-passed it right to my left foot, and I was about 18 yards out, and I just finished off to the corner left,” Williams said. “It was just so incredible. It was just the most perfect play.”

Williams continues to climb UNM’s leaderboard. Her 13th ca-reer goal tied her for fifth place in the school’s record books. Her six game-winners put her in second

place all-time for game-winners in a season, and her 23 points put her in fifth place all-time for points in a season.

But Williams’ day was almost marred by misfortune. In the 86th minute, she went down hard after a collision with Waters. Play stopped for a few minutes while the UNM trainers tended Williams’ knee.

“I’m still in a little bit of pain, but I’ll live,” she said. “I’ll be good.”

With seven games still left on the schedule, Williams said she’ll

try to keep breaking records, but the team’s success is most important.

“Just to get six game-winners in a season and doing extremely well is an amazing feeling, and I abso-lutely love it,” she said. “But I’m not doing it alone. I just have to finish it off for the team.”

UNM will face Wyoming on Thursday at the UNM Soccer Complex.

“There is a lot more to come,” Williams said. “It’s going to be re-ally exciting.”

Victory over TCU beginsMountain West run

by Nathan FarmerDaily Lobo

Michael Green, the UNM men’s soccer team’s forward, put on a clin-ic against Cal State Northridge in

front of a sea-son-high 3,250 fans Saturday at the UNM Soc-cer Complex.

Green’s man-of-the-match per-formance guided the Lobos to a 2-0 win. He had both goals for UNM, helping UNM tally its sixth win. � e Lobos are now 6-3-0 overall.

� e Lobos pressured the Mata-dors early, and it did not take long for Green to � nd a breakthrough. Ten minutes into the game, Green was open at the top of the box and took a pass from defender Ryan Farquharson.

Unleashing an unstoppable, near-perfect shot, Green’s 22-yarder

sailed into the top corner of the far post and gave the Lobos a 1-0 lead.

“I am used to passing in those situations,” Green said. “But I just decided to hit it this time, and I am glad I did. I am happy I helped the team win. We all played really well today, and it was a good game to win.”

Then, in the 85th minute, Green amazed the crowd again, outrac-ing the goalkeeper to a long pass before touching it around him. With teammates surrounding him on the break, Green looked to get another assist, but instead he put the ball between the keeper’s legs, right into the open net.

Head coach Jeremy Fishbein said Green’s goals were a thing of beauty.

“He scored some special goals tonight,” Fishbein said. “This game today really played into Green’s strengths. He had a lot of space in

the middle to do things with the ball.”

The Lobos, who wore pink jer-seys in support of breast-cancer awareness, came out in the sec-ond half looking to keep Cal State Northridge off the board.

The Lobos sat back and ab-sorbed the pressure from the Mat-adors. The Lobos could have put the game out of reach, but forward Justin Davis and midfielder Ste-phen Brown failed to capitalize on good goal-scoring opportunities, Fishbein said.

“We could have been up 2- or 3-0 in the first half,” Fishbein said. “But we let them stay in the game.”

Either way, Brown said UNM didn’t want to let the Matadors get an easy goal.

“We played smart today, with a lot of confidence that you get play-ing at home,” he said.
