� e new lobbying group UNM hired this year will cost the University twice as much as the lobbying group it used in previous years.

UNM’s contract with � e National Group ended last year and the University hired Madison Associates to rep-resent it in Washington, D.C. UNM will pay the group $237,000 as part of its one-year contract. � is price is near-ly double that of the past two years, when the University paid Delaware-based corporation � e National Group $120,000 annually.

UNM President Robert Frank said the University’s new contract with Madison Associates is a valuable investment by the University. Frank said the lobbying group’s expertise will represent UNM better in the national capital and may even bring more federal funds to the University.

“In a highly competitive research environment, the University of New Mexico must assure yearly success in obtaining federal research money,” he said. “Having ef-fective federal representation is critical to our success. � e Madison Group has a proven record in facilitating feder-al funding. Other research universities spend two to four

times as much on the types of services Madison is provid-ing UNM.”

Frank said that although the contract costs twice the price UNM paid for lobbying for the past two years, it is still an e� cient move by the University.

Rep. Eliseo Lee Alcon (D-Mi-lan) introduced House Bill 28, which involves UNM indirectly. According to AP reports, the bill proposes to make students attend-ing tribal colleges throughout the state eligible for the Lottery Schol-arship in addition to students at-tending state schools.

� e bill would give such tribal college students greater access to higher education, but would also place a heavier burden on the

unm crime briefs

At some point between Dec. 21 and Jan. 1, an unknown suspect entered a locked room in Travelstead Hall and stole UNM property. According to the UNMPD report, UNM staff is still working on the full inventory, but at the time staff members reported a Mac Book and two iMacs missing. Two UNMPD detectives collected fingerprints and took photographs at the scene. No further information was available at the time of the report.

UNMH employee Maila Sanchez was working the graveyard shift between Dec. 30 and 31 when someone used her credit card without her knowing, according to the UNMPD report. According to the report, CitiBank called about suspicious purchases made with the card, and when she looked for

the card in her purse, she saw that it wasn’t in the place she usually kept it. Sanchez told police she suspects someone took the card, made a note of the card number, and put it back. Her purse was “in a secure area with limited access, by key card only, to hospital personnel.”

The unknown suspect used the card to purchase an iPad 2 and ship it to an address in Texas, according to the report. Police were unable to obtain latent fingerprints from the card. Sanchez told police she had alerted security and they were working to access video surveillance of the incident at the time of the report. No further information was available at the time.

UNM student Michael McDonald returned to Lobo Village at 8 a.m. on Jan. 6 and discovered that his motorcycle had been vandalized, according to the UNMPD report. McDonald told UNM police he had legally

parked it there at 9 p.m. on Jan. 5. According to the report, the officer arrived to find the motorcycle on its side. The reported damage includes a broken windshield, two broken mirrors, dents on the gas tank, scrapes on both sides of the motorcycle, bent and scraped foot pegs, and broken brakes.

At some point between Sept. 18 and Jan. 9, an unknown suspect stole an iPad from UNM staff member Sherri Burr. According to the UNMPD report, Burr said she may have left it in the Gov. Bruce King Reading Room in the UNM School of Law Library, because that is where she remembers last using it. The iPad is valued at approximately $499, and will be entered into the National Crime Information Center database. There were no suspects at the time of the report.

group submitted quarterly progress reports to the University. UNM paid The National Group $280,000 annu-ally from 2008 to 2010, but the Univer-sity re-negotiated its contract with the firm and brought the price down to $120,000 annually.

UNM Director of Communica-tion Dianne Anderson said a select committee chose Madison Associates among 10 bidders for the University’s request for proposal. The committee did not include President Frank. She said Madison Associates received the highest score from the committee, and that The National Group did not submit a bid for the request.

Anderson said the University ad-ministration was in consensus that The National Group’s efforts were in-sufficient. She said the new contract with Madison Associates will enable UNM to monitor Madison Associ-ates’ progress more closely by com-municating with the University more frequently.

“Dr. Frank agreed with the re-gents that the results of National’s ef-forts were difficult to measure and not as impressive as the University wanted,” she said. “The new contract with Madison Associates spells out

specific, measurable services or de-liverables. It also places the oversight of the consulting services under the UNM Government and Community Relations office while providing close monitoring and frequent correspon-dence on the firm’s progress.”

Anderson said funds for the new contract will come from the re-search budgets of the UNM Health Sciences Center, main campus and from the president’s office. She said each sector will pay for one-third of the total fee.

According to the contract, Madison Associates will “help raise the University’s profile at the federal level, direct, advise and assist with contact with Administration staff, advise and assist in marketing the University to federal agencies … (and) identify sources of funding and associated research/development focus areas for federal initiatives.”

Frank said he is confident Madison Associates will help UNM.

“All of these services will benefit the University in a time when federal dollars are in high demand,” he said. “We need to make sure that UNM is in the running for these valuable sourc-es of funding.”

@JROppenheim

At a Jan. 14 press conference, UNM men’s basketball head coach Steve Alford called the subsequent days a “big week” with a challeng-ing road battle at Boise State.

At Monday’s press conference, Alford called it a “big week” with games against Colorado State and San Diego State, two of the bet-ter teams in the Mountain West Conference.

“Next week when we meet and we’ve got Wyoming and Nevada, we’re going to be saying the same thing,” Alford said.

Such is life in the hotly contest-ed league, especially when six of the nine MWC teams have at least a .500 winning percentage through the first two weeks of league play.

“Each week it gets more and more difficult,” Alford continued. “They get more and more impor-tant. You just have to continue to do your body of work and continue to get better. That’s always been our emphasis.”

So far, only the No. 15-ranked Lobos (16-2, 3-0) are unbeaten in league play. In its first three MWC outings, UNM topped league favor-ite UNLV, Fresno State and Boise State. It’s the school’s first 3-0 start since the Lobos became a MWC charter member in 1999.

San Diego State, another team expected to contend for a league title, is UNM’s opponent on Satur-day. The MWC preseason-favored Aztecs, however, sit with a 2-2 league record following losses to UNLV and Wyoming last week.

UNM’s opponent today, how-ever, is also a force to be reckoned with. With a 2-1 record, Colorado State sits one game behind UNM in the conference standings. The Rams (15-3 overall) and the Lobos were the only two MWC teams to survive the week without a loss.

“If we’re better (today) than we were at Boise, we’ll give ourselves a chance to win,” Alford said. “If we

improve then (Thursday) and Fri-day getting ready for (San Diego) State on the weekend, we’ll give ourselves a chance. If we don’t im-prove, it will be a very difficult week for us.”

Wyoming, UNLV and Air Force are the other 2-2 teams.

Colorado State comes to The Pit after a 66-61 Saturday victory against UNLV, which was ranked No. 23 at the time. Colorado State senior guard Dorian Green scored 24 points in that contest, earning MWC Player of the Week honors in the process.

The physical Rams squad is one of the best rebounding units in the nation. With 42.6 boards per game, Colorado State ranks fourth nation-ally and tops the MWC. Only Mary-land, North Carolina, and Missouri are better on the glass.

UNM puts a heavy emphasis on the boards. On average, the Lobos get 36.3 rebounds per game and are led by sophomore center Alex Kirk’s 7.9 per game. Junior guard Hugh Greenwood and junior for-ward Cameron Bairstow each add 5.1 a game.

Colorado State shoots 45.2 percent from the field and has outscored its opponents by an av-erage of 14.9 points per game. Iver-son leads the Rams with 14.4 points per game.

The Rams are also one of the most experienced teams in the MWC. They have six seniors in their starting lineup in Iverson, Hornung, Green, Carr, guard Wes Eikmeier and guard Greg Smith.

“They’re tough — we have to match their toughness,” UNM ju-nior guard Kendall Williams said. “They have great leadership, and that’s why they’ve won a lot. We just have to match their intensity, and I think skill-wise and athletic-wise we can match up fine with them.”

Tony Snell has caught fire since league play began. UNM’s junior guard has a 17-point average in three conference games. He scored 38 points between the Lobos’ last two games, his best two-game

stretch of the season. He has 12.1 points per game overall.

Kirk is maintaining his strong play with 12.3 points per game overall and 17.3 against league foes. Alford said flu-like symptoms have limited Kirk’s performance in prac-tice. Williams continues to lead all UNM scorers with 14.4 points per game overall.

Lobo women seek second MWC win of season

The New Mexico women picked up their first MWC win of the sea-son last Wednesday, defeating Boi-se State 58-53. The Lobos are now looking to make it two in a row.

UNM (9-7, 1-2 MWC) goes on the road today for a battle against Colorado State (5-11, 1-2). During her weekly press conference Mon-day, UNM women’s head coach Yvonne Sanchez said it’s going to take a disciplined effort against the Rams.

“They’re a lot like us last year,” she said. “They’re a little bit beat up, but they’re very dangerous. The players they play — they’ll play sev-en or eight — and they’re very good and they play well at home.”

Colorado State enters the game following a 63-50 road loss to UNLV. Led by freshman guard Caitlin Duffy and her 11.7 points per game, the Rams score 55.6 points offensively and give up 58.2 points on defense.

The Lobos, meanwhile, have scored 59.1 points and surrendered 58.2 points on average through 16 contests. Senior guard Caroline Durbin is the team’s leading scorer at 12.6 points per game, followed by junior post Deeva Vaughn at 9.9 a game and sophomore guard Antiesha Brown at 9.7 a game.

“They’ve got a very good team,” Sanchez said. “It doesn’t mat-ter what their numbers are; they’ll play hard. They’ll play a lot of junk defenses … take certain things away and really disrupt us. We’ve just got to be disciplined and play basketball.”

Readers responded online to “Future of Vaga-bond Inn uncertain; UNM files another appeal to block residential development of the space,” published in Thursday’s Daily Lobo. The article outlines a dispute between UNM and a develop-er concerning the run-down Vagabond Inn near Lobo Village. UNM wishes to build a shopping center in the area, whereas the Allen Sigmon Real Estate Group wants to renovate it into a hotel. UNM is now appealing a decision allowing the real estate group to proceed with renovations.

by “Concerned for UNM”“ … UNM is hardly alone among universities

in having become the economic development entity of last resort. Such big names as the Uni-versity of Chicago and Harvard, among many other lesser-known institutions, have also gotten into the ill-conceived real estate/commercial development game. UNM, and these other in-stitutions, should fight the temptation to involve themselves in these schemes. After all, how is retail and commercial development going to produce a superior rate of return in an economy where consumer spending growth is still ane-mic, and is projected to fall from 70 percent of GDP to 65 percent of GDP in coming years?

Fairmount Properties and UNM have a way to demonstrate the veracity of their claims for the success of this enterprise. Let’s see Fair-mount make a public demonstration of its com-mitment to New Mexico and offer $5 million for the Vagabond Inn.”

by “one loud, flaming liberal”“This is another great example of UNM being

a bad neighbor in the community. Where was the University when this building was vacant, windows busted out, a home to pigeons and va-grants? Now that someone has decided to clean it up and make something of the place, UNM wants to spend money on attorneys to fight this? Is this a sound use of taxpayer dollars? It further irks me that UNM always finds a way to get an out-of-state company to do its development. Lobo Village, although a nice facility, was built by a Texas company which used several out-of-town contractors. Now they are bringing in an Ohio-based developer for their retail devel-opment? Really? We couldn’t support the local community and find a local developer to do it? UNM is sending our tax dollars and jobs out of state at a time when Albuquerque’s economy is declining, and trying to quash a neighbor who is trying to bring jobs by reopening an abandoned hotel. UNM needs to re-examine their philoso-phy. Maybe they would find more alumni and local business support if they were to actually be better neighbors.”

by “Studied@UNM”“UNM is rapidly morphing into a state-run

economic development bank. UNM’s real job — and a job that the new administration seems to see fit to relegate to second priority along the lines of the previous administration — is to edu-cate its students and to make them competitive in a world in which students from much stron-ger institutions than UNM are having greater troubles to convert their degrees into gainful employment.

UNM is not an economic development

bank, though that is what this extravagant em-pire building on south campus resembles. … It is also discomfiting to see UNM embark upon this white elephant project with out-of-state developers who will take their profits out of the state. New Mexico has a low capital base. Having UNM act as a vehicle to ferry the state’s wealth elsewhere is especially troubling, particularly when UNM is underwriting the risk, through the use of UNM Foundation Funds, for the purchase of the land.

Why haven’t the investors gone to their banks in Ohio, or New Mexico, or to Wall Street, to get the financing to buy and de-velop the $10 million plot of land? After all, 1.3 million “potential customers” converge on this site per year and want “access to services.” Surely, these investors can make the business plan case to their financiers, or perhaps use their own retained earnings and cash to finance this project. Why pay rent to UNM, when you can make this ven-ture work and charge the rent yourself?

UNM should also evaluate the long-term implications (for short-term perceived gain) of their raid of the UNM Foundation as a pot of money to finance these boon-doggles. I have contributed time and mon-ey to UNM. It was the epitome of disregard to hear one regent say that UNM “could have taken this money from the Founda-tion without a loan” and simply grab it as speculative capital.”

I have changed the title and lyrics to a song by Nick Lowe, called “What Lack of Love Has Done,” to address the question “Can science and technology save us?” My gratitude and apologies to Lowe, who, fortunately, doesn’t know me.

“What Lack of Sense Has Done”

Well I think about our worldAnd this is what I do.I claim that we’ve screwed up‘Cause I know it to be true.

When it’s time to print a column,

And my story has begun,I try to explainWhat lack of sense has done.

And though I do it weeklyI’m always filled with shameFor it’s a never-ending storyAnd we’re the ones to blame.

I know what you’re sayingThat we still can runBut there’s nowhere to runFrom what lack of sense has done.

Witness devastationTo our ecologyBrought down by our blindnessOur technology and greed.

We lack short-term motiveWhen we speak financially

To stop burning coalNow, preventively.

Well I hear what you’re sayingBut wind, wave, and sunAnd mirrors sent to space Won’t undo the mess we’ve done.

No there’s nowhere to runFrom what lack of sense has done.And it’s not a lot of funTo learn that we’re so dumbTo see what we’ve become.

Editor’s note: This is in response to the column “Gun worship has gone too far,” published in Friday’s Daily Lobo. In his column, Jason Darensburg argued that despite recent legislation, people will still have broad access to guns. He also criti-cizes the National Rifle Association’s pres-ence in the legislation process, stating that “the NRA needs to be excluded from any further public debate on gun control.”

Editor,

As a young United States Air Force veteran and a new Lobo, I am extremely saddened by your recent opinion piece regarding gun “worship.” I am not dis-appointed in your choice to voice your opinions, but in your extremely biased writing style that resorts to emotions and name calling. I approached your article with an open mind because this was my first time picking up the Daily Lobo. Quite frankly, I found it more suitable for a per-sonal blog than a university publication.

Your main argument took the stance that America has the highest rate of gun ownership as well as the highest rate of gun-related homicides. Yes, no one is denying there is a connection. However, as even your most basic college course should have taught you, correlation does not equal causation.

Throughout the article you call gun owners “gun worshipers,” “wing-nuts” and “psychos.” I am honestly quite dis-appointed that this is what qualifies as college-level writing. Personally, I take offense to those names as I am not any of those. I am a second-degree student, a war veteran, a wife and a proud Asian-American. I believe in the Constitution and I believe it is every American’s duty to defend it.

You stated that no one is coming after Second Amendment rights and that there is nothing to fear. You may very well be correct. However, given that we are such a young nation, I believe your confidence in the system is too bold. Why do you be-lieve that where other nations have fault-ed and infringed on the rights of the cit-izens, ours will not? The purpose of the Second Amendment is to maintain the right of the people, aka militia, to keep and bear arms, the intention being the prevention of a tyrannical government. How is this possible when the people are only allowed to possess the most basic of weapons, while “military”-style weapons remain in the hands of those we are po-tentially protecting ourselves from?

I have many more unemotional and logical points to make. For example, the majority of these executive orders only hinders law-abiding citizens. However, these points will probably result in me being called a psycho gun worshiper, which is quite unfortunate. I hope that in your next opinion piece you will choose a writing style that does not attempt to po-larize your audience. Thank you for your time.

Predators maul Wild 3-1 by Dave Campbell The Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Martin Erat scored an unassisted goal for Nashville with 8:15 left when Minnesota goalie Niklas Backstrom couldn’t clear the puck cleanly, and the Predators earned their first victory by beating the Wild 3-1 on Tuesday night.

Ryan Spaling had a goal late in the first period, and Chris Mason made 29 saves for the Predators in his first start of the season. He denied Dany Heatley off a rush and then on a re-bound around the 5-minute mark. He stayed steady while the Wild tried to tie it.

Heatley scored for the third time in three games for the Wild, who failed to finish their three-game homestand unbeaten. The Predators, who lost in a shootout in their previ-ous two games, started a franchise-record-tying, seven-game trip with a strong finish.

David Legwand added another goal for the Predators with 16.2 sec-onds remaining, taking advantage of a Wild turnover and catching de-fenseman Ryan Suter with his back turned to the play.

Erat took advantage of a rare mis-take by the Wild’s relentless star Zach Parise, who sent a pass out from be-hind his own net to a spot where none of his teammates were close enough to corral. Defenseman Jared Spurgeon was going the wrong way, and the puck kept streaking into the Wild zone with only Erat near it.

Backstrom came out quickly enough to stop the breakaway with his stick beyond the top of the left circle, but Erat blocked the clear-ing attempt with his legs and chased down the puck at the goal line. He maneuvered it in toward the net and dumped it in before Backstrom could recover and Spurgeon could dive to stop it.

The fluke goal spoiled Suter’s first game against his former team. Suter left the Predators, who drafted him seventh overall in 2003, for a 13-year, $98 million contract with the Wild that is identical to Parise’s deal that was also signed last summer.

Suter, who turned 28 on Monday, tallied 200 assists in 542 regular-sea-son games for the Predators. Both to-tals are the fourth-most in franchise history. His departure angered gen-eral manager David Poile, but Suter and Poile spoke genially in the morn-ing before the teams skated.

The 36-year-old Mason, in his third stint with the Predators, got the start ahead of Pekka Rinne because of the back-to-back games. Rinne is 8-3-1 with a 2.20 goals against aver-age and three shutouts in 13 games against the Wild in his career. Mason was just 6-5-2 with a 3.20 GAA enter-ing the game. He played for Winnipeg last season.

The Wild owned the first period, posting a 12-5 shots advantage, but the Predators made the most of their limited time in the home team’s zone. Spaling capped a brief flurry of scoring chances by parking himself

to Backstrom’s left and knocking in the rebound of Kevin Klein’s slap shot with 3:19 left.

The Predators had to be happy with a tie at the first intermission with the way the Wild were racing all over the ice and snagging most of the loose pucks.

Their third line of Spaling, Brandon Yip and rookie Gabriel Bourque was as active as any. Bourque, just recalled from the AHL affiliate in Milwaukee, had a breakaway attempt thwarted by Backstrom’s poke check. Bourque crashed into Backstrom and dislodged the net from the moorings.

All four games between these teams last season were decided by one goal. Heatley totaled five goals and one assist, but the Predators won three times. Heatley has 14 goals and 10 assists in 18 career games against the Predators. Predators C Paul Gaustad was scratched for the second straight game because of an upper-body injury.

According to the Wild, the re-gional cable TV audience for their season-opening win over Colora-do on Saturday was the highest in team history for a regular-season game, a 7.65 rating. That’s more than 132,000 households. The Predators also had a seven-game road trip in 2002. Their next home game will be Feb. 7. The Wild went 0-for-3 on the power play and are 2-for-13 on the season.

In track and field, a sport of steady progression, early-season meets are all about shaking off the rust that develops during the holiday break. Two weeks into the 2013 indoor campaign, New Mex-ico’s athletes are getting into the swing of things.

At the Cherry & Silver Invita-tional held Friday and Saturday at the Albuquerque Civic Cen-ter, UNM posted solid marks in a number of events, head coach Joe Franklin said. Being able to have a home meet so soon in a new cam-paign helps as well, he added.

“It’s not traveling,” he said. “At these home meets, you’re kind of just blowing out the cobwebs from Christmas break. Some of the kids improved dramatically from last weekend, and I think we’ll contin-ue to see those big jumps.”

Over the two-day meet, eight athletes from UNM placed among the top three in their re-spective events.

Senior Amber Menke had the one of the best finishes of any Lobo, taking second in the pole

vault with a 12-foot, 11 1/2-inch leap. According to the Athletics media relations, Menke has three of the school’s top 10 vaulting marks, including a tie for seventh-best. Despite her finish, she was a half-inch short of her goal height of 13 feet.

BYU’s Rachel Fisher won the event with a 13-foot, 5 1/2-inch mark.

“I felt like I was better than last week” at the season-open-ing Lumberjack Team Challenge, Menke said. “My run was better. I just wanted to get my step out and I was hoping to jump 13 (feet). Not quite there, but close.”

Another UNM female athlete, Shirley Pitts, was second in the 600 meter run after clocking a time of 1:35.32. She was three seconds behind winner Alima Kamara of California.

On the men’s side, the Lobos had five top-three finishes. Se-nior De’Vron Walker ran a third-place time of 8.27 seconds in the 60-meters. After having the second-fastest preliminary time at 8.28 seconds, Walker finished the finals behind California’s Ray Stewart (7.97) and Maurice Valentine (8.27).

Senior Sam Evans placed third

in the 800 meter run with 1:52.70, while junior Gabe Aragon ran 4:14.71 to take third in the mile. Aragon finished ahead of fellow junior John Cordova’s time of 4:15.13.

In the long jump, senior Kendall Spencer leaped 23-10 for a bronze medal. Teammates senior Robert Warensjo and junior Logan Pflibsen had matching 16-2 3/4 marks in the pole vault, but Warensjo took third over Pflibsen based on fewer attempts at that height. Junior Charles Lewis also placed third in the 400 hurdles in 54.37.

At the conclusion of the meet, Franklin said the immediate fo-cus of the team is staying healthy, especially with the flu-like symp-toms some players are experienc-ing. If an athlete gets sick for 10 days or more, he said, that athlete will miss considerable practice time over the next several weeks.

“That’s the biggest challenge: making sure you do those little things,” Franklin said. “You’re going to get better; that’s the nature of our sport. As long as you’re doing all the little things right and are consistent, you’re going to get better.”
