Editor’s note: This is the second in a series on nontraditional students at UNM.

Jodi Carrasco wakes up at 4:30 a.m. and starts her day by running on a treadmill for a couple hours. She takes her 16-year-old daughter to school and then goes to school herself.

At 48 years old, Carrasco works 30 hours a week and goes to school full time. She’s working toward a bache-lor’s in sociology and has two semes-ters left.

“It would have been a whole lot easier if I started college back in the 80s after I graduated high school,” she said. “But I got married, we had children, and life kind of happens to you. School went to the back-burner.”

On top of the class load and the work hours, Carrasco is recently widowed and cares for three chil-dren. Her husband, Mike Carrasco,

Likely starting fall 2011, UNM will o� er doctoral and master’s de-grees in biomedical engineering on main campus, making it the � rst university in New Mexico to do so.

Steven Graves, associate direc-tor for the UNM Center for Biomed-ical Engineering, said the Ph.D. program got approval to begin fall 2011 enrollment. He said the Fac-ulty Senate approved the master’s program at its November meeting, but it is pending the Board of Re-gents’ and Legislature’s approval.

“In the future, we hope to in-crease the number of biomedical engineering sub-disciplines that we cover, too, but we’ll be starting with molecular systems,” he said.

UNM is one of 13 � agship uni-versities nationwide that does not o� er a biomedical engineering de-gree program.

� e approved degree proposal says that, “Biomedical engineering is one of the fastest growing engi-neering � elds and a key area of U.S. competitiveness around the globe today.”

Biochemistry student Tay-lor Canady said the program would provide students hands-on experience.

“� e cell has a complex inter-working of biology and will require a special set of tools to approach its solutions,” he said. “So, seeing the University of New Mexico imple-ment a degree where undergradu-ates and graduates get a chance to get their hands dirty is a good thing.”

Another selling point, Graves said, is that UNM has all the re-sources to support the program. He said students have high interest in the degree programs.

“I am a little torn on this issue. It’s about people being more responsible. It’s inevitable that these incidents are going to happen with alcohol involved. There’s just people out there like that. Maybe the guy would have not done that if he wasn’t drunk. UNM could beef up security and be more strict about IDs.”

Patrick Kelly

Graduate StudentPhilosophy

“I feel like it’s perfectly acceptable because we are college students, and we do like to drink. Besides, we are going to bring a flask in or get it in anyway. It would be good if they had the alcohol there, and they could monitor it, and they can refuse if someone is having too much, and also UNM can make a profit. It’s a good idea.”

Amanda Harris

JuniorPolitical Science

“I don’t think it’s a big problem. I just think people need to be more responsible whenever they are consuming alcohol in the first place. I think UNM should handle it like they do in baseball games, where they stop serving at a certain point so people can sober up.”

Liliana Chavez

JuniorBiology/Spanish

“I wish they did serve alcohol. Incidents like this happen regardless, and I think UNM will make revenue off the selling of alcohol.”

Well, it’s over — no, not Mike Locksley’s UNM head coaching career.

Just the buzz surrounding the head coach’s possible departure.

Putting to rest rampant specu-lation that Locksley would be fired, Athletics Director Paul Krebs an-nounced Thursday that UNM would retain its head coach for at least the 2011 season at an informal news conference.

“I feel two years is not enough time to do what needs to be done to this program,” Krebs said.

Back-to-back 1-11 seasons, tick-et revenue shortfalls, a host of off-the-field incidents and around-the-clock media scrutiny was not enough to persuade Krebs to give Locksley a golden parachute. Had the University chose to part ways with its coach, it would have had to dole out $1.46 million.

Locksley declined an inter-view with the Daily Lobo, but in a sit-down interview with KRQE the coach said he had no doubts that he would return to the Lobos’ sideline. He is under contract through the 2014 season.

“I’ve always operated under the auspices that I’d be here,” Lock-sley said. “The fact that President Schmidly (and) Paul both have con-fidence in me to do the job they hired me to do — to me I feel good about it.”

In an effort to minimize impact on recruiting, Krebs said he came to a swift conclusion, after having a season’s worth of time to ponder his options.

News of Locksley’s return trick-led out of the Athletics Department a little after 1 p.m. Thursday.

Time after time, Krebs hedged questions about Locksley’s future throughout the season. He was steadfast that Locksley would be evaluated at the end of the season. That long-talked-about, end-of-the-season evaluation wrapped up promptly, leading into Thursday’s announcement.

Before arriving at a decision, Krebs said he took the state of the program Locksley took over into consideration when determining to bring the head coach back for an-other year.

“Principally, we need to be more competitive within our conference,”

Krebs said. “That means we need to win more football games. The games need to be more competitive. You want to see visible improvement on the field, in terms of wins and losses.”

Taking over for former coach Rocky Long, Locksley inherited a program that had reached its glass ceiling under Long, but Locksley re-mained convinced that his prede-cessor left a strong foundation upon which he would build.

Though fans might have, Lock-sley said he “never once lost con-fidence in (his) vision” for the pro-gram. Locksley reiterated Thursday that the Lobos will field a competi-tive team next year.

Krebs and fans can only hope that’s the case.

Starting off with a 72-0 loss — like the Lobos did against Oregon this year — won’t bolster Lock-sley’s approval rating next season. In what has become oft-quoted fod-der, Locksley said at his December 2008 introductory news conference that the Lobos would have to put a third digit on the scoreboard. Under Locksley, UNM’s offense sputtered this year with an average score of 15.8 points per game, good for 115th in the country. Passing and running-wise, the Lobos finished in 106th in the nation.

Because of NCAA sanctions, UNM offered only 20 scholarships the past two years and will only have 21 scholarships at its disposal during the upcoming recruiting session.

Two years in, Locksley is 2-22 overall and had two notable off-the-field incidents, one where he was accused of punching former assis-tant coach J.B. Gerald. For his role in the altercation, Locksley served a 10-day, unpaid suspension.

With Locksley returning, the focus now shifts to who could be departing.

Locksley promised changes, whether personnel or player, after the Lobos lost to TCU 66-17 on Nov. 27.

Rumors have circulated around south campus, but Locksley evad-ed the topic when asked whether members of his coaching staff have or would be dismissed as a result of the Lobos’ unsuccessful campaign.

“I’m not in position to talk about any of those changes,” he told KRQE.

became a quadriplegic after a 2006 car wreck, and he died of complica-tions this year. Carrasco said the state paid her to take care of her husband, and his death also brought emotion-al and financial burden.

“Sometimes just getting up in the mornings is hard,” Carrasco said. “He was my biggest cheerleader. He helped me with my math classes. And he was here.”

Still, she soldiers on for her children.

One of her children goes to school at Eastern New Mexico Universi-ty, and two live at home. Carrasco said she doesn’t have much time to spend with her children, particularly her youngest daughter, Selah, who goes to high school in Rio Rancho.

Despite her mother having less free time, Selah said her mother has inspired her.

“I think it’s pretty cool,” she said. “It’s great to have my mom go back and get a degree in what she wants to do. And it makes me want to go to school to do what I want.”

To pay for school, Carrasco works as an administrative assistant at the Anderson School of Management, and she has taken out student loans.

“It’s pretty much slave labor,” Car-rasco said, laughing. “I’m going be paying off student loans until I’m old and gray, which probably isn’t very far away.”

Despite the challenge, she said she tries to remain undaunted, and admits other people have it a lot harder. She said she is returning to school because that’s her only option to stay afloat amid changing times.

“Back then, you could get a de-cent job that pays fairly well with-out a degree,” she said. “You can’t do that anymore. If you think about it and tell yourself it’s a lot, then you won’t be able to do it. You just do it. You do what you need to do and get it done.”

Martinez to NM aircraft fleet: Cool your jets

Man sentenced after high school stabbing

ALBUQUERQUE — Gov.-elect Susana Martinez has named a for-mer state aviation director to lead a team in reviewing New Mexico’s aircraft fleet.

Martinez said Wednesday that Mike Rice will serve as chairman. Rice is a former director of the state Aviation Division. He is an aviation consultant and a retired New Mexico Air National Guard brigadier general.

The team will make recom-mendations on whether New Mexico needs the three aircraft operated by the General Services Department. Martinez has said she wants to sell a jet bought in 2005.

The team also will assess whether the aircraft have been properly maintained and are safe to operate.

Team members include an air-craft maintenance company own-er and retired Air Force and Air National Guard officials.

SILVER CITY— A man has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison in the stabbing death of a Silver High School student three years ago.

Anthony Griego entered a plea agreement in which he admitted stabbing Anthony Montoya after classes let out at the southwestern New Mexico high school on April 27, 2007. Griego and Montoya were both 16 at the time.

Griego originally was charged with murder, carrying a deadly weapon on school grounds, pos-session of drug paraphernalia, criminal trespass and tampering with evidence.

Charges were dropped except for a count of second-degree murder.

State District Judge Daniel Vira-montes on Wednesday suspended three years of a 15-year maximum sentence and gave Griego credit for time already served, reducing the sentence to a little more than eight years.

Editor,Have you completely lost your scruples, or is

the Daily Lobo that socially inept? I am sure that the UNM community, including

our respectable male population, does not need or want to see advertisements such as “Tempta-tion” located on page 10 of Thursday’s issue!

Do you want to be associated with the likes of trashy media, or is it all about the numbers? If it is about the numbers, you can count me out. I won’t be reading the Lobo anytime too soon.

Michelle CollumUNM student

Editor,On the front page of Monday’s Daily Lobo,

there was an article, “No more ‘public’ in public speaking” that caught my attention. As a public speaker, I deeply understand the benefits and necessity of face-to-face and interactive pub-lic speaking practices. In order to help students who wish to have opportunities for live practic-es, I would like to introduce Lobo Toastmasters Club to the community.

Lobo Toastmasters Club is a student-run or-ganization, a nonprofit organization under the Toastmasters International, which helps those at UNM improve communication and leader-ship skills.

We are trying our best to provide a friendly environment for community members to prac-tice public speaking skills. Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation.

In order to best serve the community, we are happy to announce that everyone is welcome to visit our meeting every Thursday 3:30-5 p.m. at Anderson School of Management 1004.

For a brighter future, public speaking is not optional. You need it, and we can help.

Editor,I can’t let the puff piece on the ugly statue go

by without further comment. Your reporter didn’t point out the one glar-

ing problem obvious since its installation. The artist couldn’t even spell fiesta correctly. It boldly says, “Fiesa,” on its base.

If you read an old Daily Lobo, you will see the artist promised to fix it back then. He never did, and now that he’s gone it’s unlikely to ever be fixed.

This obvious blemish should be an embar-rassment to the strong Latin American and Ibe-rian Institute and many others on campus. Art may be subjective, but spelling is fundamental for an academic institution.

COLumn

A new approach to finals week by Nathan New

Daily Lobo Guest Columnist

The days have turned gray, the semester is nearly over, and there is a palpable sense of fa-tigue on campus. It’s that time of year when we all just want to shelve the books for winter and retire to the comfort of a warm bed, preferably with someone else in it. Granted, before we can enjoy the tranquility of winter, there is that final gauntlet to run: finals.

I’m not much one for offering tips on how to stay calm and focused during stressful times. It’s inevitable that no matter how much effort the majority of us have put into preparing for finals week, we will start behaving as panicked apes and demean ourselves physically and mental-ly until we are exhausted enough to collapse in a pile of our own filth. What I can offer is some suggestions as to how you can make the best of your finals week, by avoiding common mistakes and following the sage wisdom that I am just full of.

As a senior, I’m well-accustomed to the ca-cophonous rabble that rises in the weeks be-fore finals, coming from all sides, squealing like a giant hamster. Everyone is on edge. If you are a freshman, take to heart that this is an essential part of every semester’s course, and you are best off ignoring the uncharacteristic changes in your friends, whether they be distant, sporadically violent, or no longer interested in Hobbit Club. Over-analyzing why your friends are treating you differently will only bring you more stress; these are merely emotions bred of the holiday season, and they will pass. However, I should note that if your friends are violent in their angst, I am pro-moting the cross-bow as the official weapon of finals week 2010.

Don’t over-exert yourself. I know that’s easier said than done when you have a grueling night of study ahead of you, but always remember that proper rest and nutrition are the cornerstones of a productive and absorbent mind. Try punctu-ating your study sessions with a nap, and make sure you stay well-hydrated. Get creative with your releases: punch trees and masturbate furi-ously while imagining that you are a wolf. Take decompression seriously — there is really noth-ing more valuable to your academic experience than being fully alert and energetic when test time comes.

Anticipate your finals better: Time and time again, I’ve seen slack-jawed students make their play in the last few weeks and attempt to learn

from the professor everything that will be cov-ered on the test. Don’t be this kid. You must have a vague sense of what the most important topics covered in your class were, no matter how stoned and apathetic your sweatpants-wearing ass was for the past three months. Go back through your notes, if you have any, or the handouts your pro-fessor gave you, if you kept them, and bullet the most key points of the class. Chances are if you work around these, you’ll be better off than any-one trying to single out questions so they can go memorize some relevant factoid.

In regards to my first point: don’t take your stress out on others. Just because you haven’t unwrapped your textbook doesn’t mean your little sister needs to have her shoes insulted. It will only add to your woes if your self-impor-tance alienates those close to you and leaves you with no support. Visualize yourself as a gazelle; leaping, leaping over every obstacle. When you see other gazelles, you courteously horn-bump them and ask them how their day is going. Don’t be a dick: stress, like alcohol, makes us bellig-erent. It is a painful realization to have that you have been selfish, conceited and unavailable when your peeps need you the most. Don’t set yourself up for another hellish Christmas by be-ing rude to your loved ones out of frustration.

I would advise against alcohol during this time, but hell, who would I be kidding? We should all probably knock a couple back for the next few weeks so that we can be numb enough not to feel the sting of our impending failure.

Good music soothes the soul. You surely al-ready know that, but it’s important to remember what a benefit it can be to your sanity. Choose music that motivates you but doesn’t distract you. I’m listening to Mumbai Science for my

finals week, so I could recommend that, or you could just keep listening to that tripe you call music.

I’m only joking: different strokes for different folks, I say. And that brings me to my final point: diversity.

Diversity of thought and action are the means by which you are going to survive finals week. Avoid your routine as much as possible in the coming weeks. Resist the temptation to fall back on bad habits to calm yourself, and approach your test preparation in new and more engaging ways. If you don’t usually study with people, try it. If you smoke as a means of coping with stress, try smoking an electronic cigarette so you can smoke inside as you study. Then punch yourself in the face for being such a douche bag.

I think it’s a good thing to vary your eating habits: as noted before, good nutrition goes a long way when you’re trying to study, and eating Ho-Hos will only coat your brain in grease.

Seek out help. If there’s anything you can do to set yourself apart from the seething throngs of over-caffeinated cretins on campus, it’s to ac-cept and value study aid from others. The good people at CAPS are an invaluable resource dur-ing finals time.

And finally, don’t try to relax. Seriously. There are a multitude of generic relaxation exercises you can do to stay above stress, but closing your eyes and breathing deep can only get you so far. You should freak out, froth at the mouth, and dive into your pile of unorganized notes head-first, hungrily clutching and chewing on the mis-erable products of your labors.

My point is this: only by purging yourself of anxiety can you defeat the beast of stress, and de-feat it you will, if you are true to yourself and un-afraid to look hilarious while you do it. Be spon-taneous. Yell, cry, do whatever you to cleanse yourself of worry and tension. Just don’t keep it inside. Don’t put on a reticent face on campus. I want to see kids going batshit, rather than veil-ing their dread. It’s for the best that you embrace your crazy side right now. Believe me.

And if your finals week is still a maddening debacle of humiliation and strife, don’t blame me. Blame the sinister omnipotence of testing and curse it’s name. Then go home, bludgeon your dorm-mates to unconsciousness and steal their fruit snacks. Then sneak off, huddle in an alley behind a Denny’s or something, and weep-laugh while you yank out to a copy of Guns and Ammo.

Or something. I wish you the best of luck.

We should all probably knock a couple back for

the next few weeksso that we can be numb

enough not to feel the sting of our

impending failure.

NCAA Tournament1st Round

@ USC

by Ryan [email protected]

The young UNM men’s basketball team might have hit its toughest road bump of the season so far into the early 2010-11 season: back-to-back away games.

After annihilating Southern Illinois 74-59 Wednesday in Carbondale, Ill., the Lobos head down south to the Pan American Center.

It’s now time for the rival.Head coach Steve Alford said the defense

has and will be the key for UNM to dominate NMSU.

“I think what you want to do as the best de-fense … is take away the best offense,” he said. “If you make them do something that they’re not comfortable doing or something that’s different.”

Alford has owned the Aggies. He is 5-1, in-cluding four straight wins in six games against NMSU.

As for the freshman on the team, they have the guidance of Lobos who have experienced the rivalry first hand.

Lone senior Dairese Gary said he is look-ing forward to his last trip to NSMU.

“You know New Mexico State and New Mexico, that game is always intense,” Gary said. “This is the last game (for me), and I would like to go out on top. So we’re going to see what’s going to happen.”

Gary has been consistent throughout the Lobos’ six games this season. But aside from the numbers, Gary has become a leader, Al-ford said.

“If it’s a road trip or a home game, Dairese is our guy,” Alford said. “He has been through the wars. If there is a blueprint, Dairese knows what that is, and I think that he is looking at 81 victories now out of this guy. He knows how to win and he is doing a very good job

Rivalry game will season freshman playerswith leadership.”

As for another veteran, Phillip McDon-ald has excelled for the Lobos since he returned from an elbow injury that side-lined him for the Lobos’ first two regular-season games.

Against Southern Illinois, McDonald had 11 points and nine rebounds.

McDonald said he is ready to roll over NMSU.

“They’re going to be a tough team be-cause it’s a rivalry game,” he said. “It’s going to be a hostile environment, but it’s going to be very great for our team because a lot of these young guys don’t really know how this rivalry goes down there at New Mexico State. I can’t wait to go down there, and it’s going to be a great experience for all of us.”

LO MEJOR 2010

You VotedFind out who won on Dec. 6th!

by Brandon [email protected]

The UNM volleyball team is hop-ing things will go better the second time.

The Lobos are making their sec-ond-straight NCAA appearance to-day in Los Angeles after losing in the first round last season to No. 3 Hawaii.

This year, UNM will face off against a familiar foe in sixth-seeded Southern California, who is ranked No. 5 in the latest American Volley-ball Coaches Association poll. The Women of Troy swept the Lobos 3-0 on Sept. 3.

But senior setter Jade Michaelsen said UNM is anticipating a closer re-match this time around.

“We’ve seen them, and we know that they are big and hit hard,” she said. “Our defense has improved so much since the beginning of the sea-son, and I’m not sure they’ll be ex-pecting it.”

The team has shown signs of de-velopment since September, win-ning nine of its last 10 including a 3-0 sweep of No. 13 Colorado State on Nov. 11.

But it was the backcourt defense that impressed the most, as the dy-

namic duo of junior libero Allison Buck and freshman defensive spe-cialist Mariah Agre made one div-ing save after another to keep UNM competitive all season long.

Buck said the Lobos have a no-fear mentality heading into the matchup.

“Nobody expects us to win,” she said. “All the pressure will be on USC. We’ll be able to go out there and play stress-free volleyball.”

However, stopping USC’s outside hitters will be a tall order. Junior Alex Jupiter was a 2009 All-American and freshman Falyn Fonoimoana was the 2010 Pac-10 Freshman of the Year.

“They’ve got tough hitters and our blocking is going to have to be at its best to stop them,” Michael-sen said. “We’ve seen taller teams this year, and we’ve been successful at blocking. It’s definitely one of our strong points.”

UNM will rely heavily on its se-nior leadership — Michaelsen, se-nior outside hitter Lisa Meeter and senior middle blocker Taylor Had-field — to be successful.

All three standouts were named to the All-MWC team this week. The award is Michaelsen’s third all-con-ference honor, while Hadfield and Meeter received their second nods.

“It will be our last match playing collegiate volleyball,” Michaelsen said. “We want to give it our all and leave everything on the court.”

Joining Hadfield, Meeter and Mi-chaelsen on the all-conference team was Buck, who was named the MWC Co-Libero of the Year with Utah’s Keisha Fisher. Junior right-side hitter Kelly Williamson earned Academic All-America honors and head coach Jeff Nelson was named the MWC Coach of the Year.

With all the accomplishments, the Lobos have their eyes on one more.

“I tell my teammates every time we get on the court, ‘Let’s go win a national championship,’” junior Amy Wong said. “It’s been our goal all season to make it to the Sweet Six-teen, and I really think this team can do it.”

Familiar foe in NCAA fever

Allison Buck braces for the ball during practice at Johnson Center on Tuesday. The UNM volleyball team will play USC today in Los Angeles at 8 p.m. in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
