The Associated Students of UNM have stated their support of the LGBTQ Resource Center in their preferred name initia-tive, which would make it easier for transgender students to use whatever name they choose for University records.

At its final Senate meeting of the fall semester on Wednesday, ASUNM

unanimously passed Resolution 8F, which states that the student govern-ment organization is in support of the campaign geared toward helping the transgender community on campus.

ASUNM President Rachel Wil-liams said it is another step to-wards acknowledging the diversity that UNM has to offer.

“The fact that ASUNM can ask UNM to do something that helps UNM students so directly as to

help them feel more comfortable not only just going to school here and interacting with other people, but helping them identify with who they are, I think is just really super important,” Williams said.

Frankie Flores, who works at the LGBTQ Resource Center, said the preferred name campaign is one that arose recently out of ne-cessity. He said the goal is to work with UNM administration, as well

as registrars and Information Technologies, to try and make it possible for transgender students to officially identify with whatever name they are most comfortable with, something that has become increasingly difficult.

New Mexico will take on a nation-al party to search for a new women’s soccer head coach after the Lobos an-nounced Kit Vela’s contract won’t be renewed.

Vice President for Athletics Paul Krebs released a statement Thursday afternoon thanking Vela and her staff for their efforts, but said it was time to take the team in a new direction.

“At this time, we have decided to not renew the contract for Kit Vela,” Krebs said in the release. “We will conduct a national search, and with our facilities, our community and our commitment to developing a cham-pionship women’s soccer program, we are confident that we can hire a coach to bring our program to that next level.”

Vela led the program to two NCAA College Cup bids in 2010 and 2011 along with a Mountain West Tour-nament championship in 2011. She is 122-104-45 in her 14 years as head coach for New Mexico.

In what ended up being Vela’s last season, the Lobos had 10-6-2 record in the 2014. The team ad-vanced to the semifinals of the Mountain West Tournament before falling to No. 2 Wyoming.

However, UNM’s season was over-shadowed by an abysmal hazing inci-dent that received national attention.

The Aug. 17 circus of events forced 22 players to serve a one-game sus-pension and Vela received a one week suspension without pay. Vela was making $75,000 as head coach.

Jorge Vela and Krista Foo took over the day-to-day actions during Vela’s suspension and were also given letters of reprimand.

The suspensions of the players were given throughout the season so the squad could field a full team. The Lobos’ home opener against Tex-as Tech was cancelled in lieu of the events that transpired that night be-fore school was in session.

Initially, Krebs said the seniors on the squad were peer pressuring seven freshmen to drink excessive amounts of alcohol and later sprayed the fresh-men down with “soap and water.” Lat-er on that night, the freshmen were forced from their street clothes down to their undergarments, Krebs said.

That night, two freshmen were hospitalized after the entire team was involved in the scandal.

Directly following the events, UNM began devising a program to heighten awareness. The women’s soccer team was the first to take an al-cohol education course in addition to an anti-hazing program that all New Mexico student-athletes will now be required to take.

of harassment they have experienced due to the name they identify with not be-ing identical with their name on o� cial school records. One student in particular had this issue with their professor.

“� ey were charged with academic dis-honesty and essentially told that they were going to fail the class,” Flores said. “We worked with them and the professor and it was sorted out, but that’s an impetus for us to push this forward.”

Flores called the campaign a multi-layered one. According to the LGBTQ Resource Center’s website, UNM is not yet technologically capable of utilizing a preferred name option for school re-cords. However, the website states that “the LGBTQ Resource Center is working with multiple departments on campus (including Data Management, Office of the Registrar, Lobo ID office, and more) in order to bring this option to students in the near future.”

Flores said he thinks the passing of ASUNM’s resolution will help transgender students feel supported and comfortable at UNM.

“I think it gives them a feeling of safety and inclusiveness,” Flores said. “It shows

that this University is behind them, and the University is supporting them.”

Williams said that it is important for stu-dents to understand the struggles that the transgender community endures. She said that the initiative has the potential to go a long way for that population.

“It might not resonate with students to understand that some people don’t have as strong of an identity,” Williams said. “It’s something so small as to just allow them to change their name to whatever they’re most comfortable with, to something they can express them-selves in.”

ASUNM Sen. Nadia Cabrera, who au-thored the resolution along with Sen. Kath-erine Luce, also said she believed that the impact could be huge.

“I think this is a small change that can make a big di� erence,” Cabrera said. “It’s about getting the word out about trans-gender students and the struggles that they have. I don’t think enough of us know what they go through.”

The passing of the resolution coin-cides with the LGBTQ Resource Center’s Transgender Week of Remembrance at UNM, according to a flyer from the re-

source center. Several events were held throughout the week to show support for the transgender community, including a candle light vigil and a community forum.

BestColleges.com recently ranked UNM 17th in their top 30 schools in the nation with the best outreach and resources for LGBTQ students.

Cabrera said that the timing is perfect.“It’s an added bonus,” she said. “I think

this was a great move to get leadership and other students involved in the conversation and supporting all of our students.”

Williams said that the resolution, as well as the preferred name initiative it supports, is just another step in an ongoing process for the University.

“We need to continue to do the best that we can and continue to hopefully rise on that scale,” Williams said. “We want to make the nation know that we are here to support our students and particular com-munities to help them feel comfortable in the skin that they’re in and the name that they’re called.”

Bacteria from page 1� nd a di� erent way to combat these bugs.

Staph is extremely common. According to the Centers for Disease Control, one in three people have some form of staph living on their skin or in their nose, while two in 100 people have a more dangerous, antibi-otic-resistant type more commonly known as MRSA. Staph infections cause nearly 11,000 deaths in the U.S. annually – about half of which are attributed to MRSA.

Exactly why some people develop an in-fection from these common bacteria while others never do is unknown, Hall said, al-though infection is more likely to occur in people with weakened immune systems, such as hospital patients.

Hall and her team have identi� ed active compounds that e� ectively shut down the ability of bacterial cells to communicate with one another - a novel treatment option for bacterial infections.

“Staph uses a communication system known as quorum sensing where it secretes these peptides that tell all the other staph in the neighborhood ‘OK, we’re getting ready, we’re going to change all our gene expres-sion and start making this bad stu� that allows us to get through the tissue.’ When they’re just normally hanging out in your nose or wherever, they’re not making this,” Hall said.

� is method e� ectively cripples the bac-

teria, allowing the immune system to target it more e� ectively, said Seth Daly, a gradu-ate student working on the project.

“Additionally, because this strategy does not inhibit bacterial growth, it is thought that these molecules will not induce resis-tance development,” Daly said.

Staph is a particularly nasty bug with a slew of protection and assault tactics, ex-plained Hall, including outwitting and even attacking cells of the immune system, mak-ing it di� cult for the body to clear the infec-tion on its own.

Because of this, people do not develop a natural immunity to staph after one infec-tion, as they would with other infections such as chickenpox.

Additionally, staph can arrange itself into a “bio� lm” where the bacterial cells adhere to one another, forming a giant mass on the surface of the skin, she said. Bacteria in a bio� lm formation are harder to kill with antibiotics.

All of this has led to a call for alternative methods to target and treat infections, Hall said. Since staph commonly exists on peo-ple in a non-harmful form, she is develop-ing a treatment that, instead of killing the bug, targets the components that make it harmful, she said.

“We are looking at ways to combat the virulence of the bugs, or disarm them, so

they can’t make the toxins and other things that they make which actually cause most of the damage to the host,” Hall said.

While it has yet to be tested in humans, Hall said she hopes that this method can be developed into a topical treatment for staph infections and to sterilize open wounds and surgical sites. Additionally, both Hall and Daly said they believe this will show that this type of treatment is via-ble and can be adapted to target many oth-er types of bacteria.

“I hope this work will open new avenues for treatment strategies to combat bacteri-al infection. � e current state of antibiotic resistance and lack of novel antibiotics in development urgently requires evaluation of novel strategies,” Daly said. “We hope to one day see virulence inhibitors used in the healthcare setting either alone or in combi-nation with antibiotics.”

Hall’s lab is also working to develop a vaccine against staph by targeting the tox-ic factors secreted by the bacteria, and the team is trying to determine what makes certain people more susceptible to infec-tion than others.

The New Mexico men’s bas-ketball team faced some of the adversity head coach Craig Neal has talked about on Thursday af-ternoon against Boston College.

Early foul trouble with guard Devon Williams and center Obij Aget forced Neal to play some of the new faces in a 69-65 loss to the Eagles at the ESPN Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

Senior guard Hugh Greenwood was on fire early in the game as he had 11 points midway through the first half but struggled to score until late in the second half. He finished with a career-high of 24 points (8-16 FG, 6-7 FT) and three assists.

The Lobos could not stop the Eagles guard Olivier Hanlan late in the game. He had 13 of Boston Col-lege’s 19 points, and he finished the game with 20 points.

UNM trailed for the first time this season after not trailing in ei-ther of the first two games. They led for a total of 1:03, which came after Greenwood converted a tradition-al three-point play to put them up 6-2. UNM did not regain the lead for the rest of the game.

The Lobos had multiple 8-0 runs in the loss to the Eagles (2-1) but could not find a way to pull out the win towards the end. The clos-est they brought the game after that was at the 15:39 mark in the first half when they trailed 11-10.

This was the second meeting between these two teams. The first came in 2011 when the Lobos defeated the Eagles in the fifth-place game of the 76 Classic in Anaheim, California.

Junior guard J.J. N’Ganga had the best game of his early Lobo career as he finished with nine points (3-3 FG, 3-4 FT) and six re-bounds, both of which were ca-reer highs for him.

Junior college transfer Jordan Goodman seemed to be more ag-gressive in Friday’s loss. He at-tempted four shots early in the game but connected on just one of them. He finished with four points and one rebound.

Turnovers hurt the Lobos as they committed a season-high 17 turnovers. UNM did force Boston College to commit 17 turnovers as well.

Sophomore guard Cullen Neal didn’t produce like he did in the first two games of the season where he averaged 24.5 points per game. He injured his ankle early in the second half when he came down on a Boston College defender’s foot after shooting a 3-pointer. Neal left the game and did not return. He finished the game with two points (0-4 FG), three assists and three turnovers.

Not having center Neal in the game could have been a key reason for the Lobos’ struggles throughout the second half. Neal has been a facilitator in the of-fense this year, which allowed Greenwood to thrive offensively in the first half.

The Lobos (2-1) will face West Virginia on Friday night.

Editor,

The holiday season is approaching and with it a wonderful time to support our local economy. Too often we head out to eat, buy presents and groceries and we fail to realize

the power and impact we have as free-mar-ket capitalist consumers.

By spending our money in the local econ-omy and buying local goods, we are provid-ing valuable tax dollars for local services and schools. Buying handmade goods from our local artisans helps support the arts and cul-ture in our beautiful city. Going out to eat in local restaurants supports our amazing repu-tation for fine cuisine in Albuquerque. Taking

vacations in our beautiful state helps main-tain our majestic parks and vacation spots.

It can be easy to get apathetic and forget that you have power to influence the world around you. Make our beautiful city and state a better place.

Editor,

As we build toward the climax of the 2014 college football season, you can already hear the perennial debate beginning again — should college athletes be paid for their work in addition to the scholarships they receive?

With the NCAA and its member universi-ties reaping huge financial rewards from foot-ball and basketball players, the athletes that generate all that revenue are understandably frustrated. But there is another group of fine-ly-tuned athletes on the sidelines that is in a far worse position. There is no debate about paying them. In fact, there isn’t even any dis-cussion about possibly giving them the gen-erous scholarships that football and basket-ball players receive.

Ironically, these over-looked athletes are the loudest and most energized people in the stadium: the cheerleaders.

Imagine for a moment that you are at a college football game. Thousands of people are in the stands watching the teams on the field, the band is playing the fight song, the

cheerleaders are flipping and stunting on the sidelines.

Now imagine the game with no cheer-leaders. The entire atmosphere has changed. Cheerleaders and dancers help make the college football experience complete. These athletes spend a significant amount of their own time and money doing something for which they receive very little recognition or compensation.

Most colleges offer substantial scholar-ships to their major sports: football, bas-ketball, baseball, soccer and others. Players have the opportunity to receive scholarships worth tens of thousands of dollars, and it is not uncommon for the best to receive full ride scholarships. The stipends that are avail-able to the cheerleaders and dancers are worth far less money if they are even avail-able at all. Some colleges, such as UNM, offer a book stipend of between $150 and $400 a semester; other colleges offer nothing.

In addition to scholarship money, all major collegiate sports have facilities, equipment and uniforms. Conversely, most collegiate cheerleaders are required to either buy their own uniforms from the athletic department or use recycled uni-forms from previous years.

Many colleges lack facilities for the cheer/dance teams, forcing the cheerleaders and dancers to practice in facilities provided to other sports at odd times, such as in the eve-ning or early morning, so as to not disturb other teams. Some squads have to pay for facilities or practice outside on the grass in-stead of on the mats they need for safety.

Many teams try to raise money for their program by either selling merchandise, such as calendars or discount cards, or hosting events such as children’s cheer clinics. Can you imagine college football players sell-ing calendars or being forced to pay for their practice facilities?

Speaking as a former UNM cheerleader, I understand only too well how many prob-lems this lack of funding causes. Chief among these problems is that many cheerleaders are forced to quit after only a year or two because they cannot afford to continue. Considering how much the cheerleaders contribute to the football/basketball experience, is some scholarship money too much to ask for?

Cheerleaders warrant boost in scholarships and funding

Do the economy a favor: shop local this holiday season

Low voter turnout is not simply a nation-al problem, a statewide problem or a mu-nicipal problem this election cycle; UNM felt it too.

Only 682 undergraduate students voted in the recent Associated Students of UNM Senate elections. It marked a sharp decrease from previous years and is an alarmingly dismal number considering this school has 20,251 undergraduate students. That means only 3.37 percent voted.

Read that again: 3.37 percent turnout for an organization tasked with representing the University’s undergraduates, an organi-zation that is supposed to lobby and advo-cate for students, an organization that de-cides how student fees are spent.

This voter apathy is a huge concern. Even if this semester’s number of voters matched last fall’s — the highest fall semester turnout since 2005 — it is still only an 8.42 percent turnout among UNM’s undergraduates.

ASUNM Vice President Jenna Hagengruber called it a fluke that voter turnout was so low, and there is something to that. To many students, the ASUNM Senate elections seemed to come out of nowhere. Not a lot of students knew the election was coming up until they saw polling places in the SUB, Dane Smith Hall or other locations on campus.

Hagengruber said no one particular par-ty is to blame for the turnout, but the efforts to inform students of the upcoming election clearly did not suffice. Hagengruber lauded the candidates for their campaign work, and there is no reason to discount the candidates’ attempts to talk to students and discuss their ideas and concerns. Yet there remained a dis-connect with students, as the voter turnout shows. Not enough messages resonated with students to join this election process.

By the time election day rolled around and people saw the polling stations, stu-dents who knew nothing of the candidates saw only faces and names. Certainly, poll-ing officials cannot answer questions about candidates, but how can a voter make an intelligent decision about who to vote for without knowing anything? It is akin to this past midterm election and the ballots fea-turing so many judicial candidates. Who are all these people, anyway?

Other factors certainly come into play. Coming off a national midterm election compounds the problem and leads to con-fusion when an ASUNM Senate candidate asks an undergrad if he or she voted. Fall 2012 — another national election year — saw a dip in ASUNM voter participation as well, though not as steep.

Being a commuter campus certainly does not help the process, with students staying on campus only until their class-es are finished then leaving. It’s the same situation with limited student activity participation.

The Daily Lobo assumes a portion of the blame as well. Aside from the advertise-ments published about the elections from October until the election, the Daily Lobo newsroom did not adequately inform read-ers who the candidates were or otherwise announce that the election was coming up. Like most other students, the ASUNM

Low voter turnout illustrates apathy

election came up out of nowhere following a heavily covered state election. We could have and should have done a better job.

Regardless of ASUNM’s or the Daily Lo-bo’s share of accountability here, the stu-dents themselves demonstrated a concern-ing lack of interest in participating in the

University’s election process. This does not come as much surprise when looking at these national trends. National voter turnout reached the lowest marks since World War II.

It is cliché, but it is said that universities are supposed to prepare students for the real world. Participation, involvement and civic

duties should be a part of that development. If students choose not to join the process to choose representatives on their behalf in this university setting, then what does that say about their future political involvement?

We implore you, students. Get more involved.

By Thomas Romero-Salas

The stakes for New Mexico and Colorado State in Saturday’s game could not be more different.

For the Lobos, it’s their final chance to beat a quality opponent and show more signs of an improv-ing football team. For the Rams, a potential Mountain West Division crown is at stake along with a berth into the MW conference title game. Not to mention an outside shot of making a big time bowl game.

The path for CSU (9-1, 5-1 MW) is simple: Win out and have Boise State lose at least one game. The No. 22 Rams’ only defeat this season was to the Broncos, a 37-24 loss on Sept. 6. Since that loss, CSU has won eight straight games and is a 21.5 point fa-vorite over UNM (3-7, 1-5 MW) in Fort Collins, Colorado.

“That’s a lot of motivation. They’re ranked pretty high and we don’t feel that any team is better than us,” run-ning back Teriyon Gipson said. “To

spoil the party for CSU would be great. That would be a great way to start to the weekend.”

The Rams boast one of the best offenses in the nation. CSU averag-es 480.4 yards per game (19th) and score 34.9 points per game (29th). One key component of CSU’s offen-sive success is quarterback Garrett Grayson. The senior has thrown for 3,024 passing yards, completing 63 percent of his passes and has tossed 26 touchdowns this season.

As a whole, CSU ranks third in the country in passing efficiency. Gray-son has the second best passing ef-ficiency nationally (171.6) and ranks behind Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota (184.6).

“(Grayson) is probably the most sound quarterback that we’ve played this year. His numbers speak for themselves,” safety David Guthrie said. “He’s a real disciplined guy and he’s an operator. He makes that of-fense do what it does.”

Grayson may control the offense

but he has plenty of help. His favor-ite target this season has been wide receiver Rashard Higgins, who has caught 67 passes for 1,280 yards and 13 touchdowns, a CSU school record.

CSU’s running game is powered by running back Dee Hart. The Ala-bama graduate has ran for 909 yards and has scored 11 times this season.

Lobo coach Bob Davie compared the Rams high-powered offense to another offensive juggernaut in Boise State. He pointed to the fact that both teams have experienced quarterbacks and both have two explosive tailbacks.

New Mexico linebacker Ryan Langford (20) and defensive end William Udeh (92) stop Boise State running back Jay Ajayi (27) during the game on Nov. 8. Colorado State will host New Mexico on Saturday in Fort Collins, Colorado, where the Lobos will look to spoil the No. 22 Rams’ season.

By Liam Cary-Eaves

Redshirt freshman Alice Wright crossed the Atlantic Ocean to join an elite group of cross country run-ners in the Mountain Region.

Wright, the NCAA Division I Mountain Region Female Athlete of the Year, said she had never seen New Mexico’s campus be-fore hopping on a plane to the Land of Enchantment after finish-ing high school.

“I want to say it’s the best de-cision that I have ever made,” said Wright, a native of Worcester, England. “I came here complete-ly alone. I had only seen pictures online.”

Wright said she had just over a month before she made her way to the southwest, and an unfor-tunate femoral stress fracture re-quired a medical redshirt in the freshman campaign.

“She worked her tail o� ,” head coach Joe Franklin said. “Now she’s seeing the results of all the cross-training last year when she was injured.”

Although she � nished � rst place in the Mountain Regional Champi-onships last week, Wright said she was surprised when the NCAA dis-tributed the prestigious award with her name on it.

“I wasn’t expecting it, to be hon-est.” Wright said. “It’s an honor; I am so pleased.”

Franklin said it is unusual for young runners to win the award because generally athletes receive that particular status after

accumulating years of experience.“It’s very rare,” Franklin said.

“It’s usually seniors and � fth-year seniors, people who’ve had the chance to develop … it’s a testa-ment to her work ethic.”

Wright joined Sammy Silva, last year’s Mountain Region Female Athlete of the Year, as the Lobos only two runners to win the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association award.

While the award means a lot to Wright, she said she was not con-cerned with winning the award at such an early point in her tenure as a Lobo. � e young runner said it just feels good to get back to com-petition mode.

“I am just so pleased to be run-ning,” Wright said. “I look forward to being able to keep improving.”

Franklin applauded Wright’s dedication in the gym and said it’s the hardest time for an athlete to stay focused and train without competing, especially through an extended period of time.

“She was injured for so long last year,” Franklin said. “It’s tiring, and monotonous, and lonely.”

Wright concurred with Franklin and said the di� cult part of the in-jury was the length of time it took to recover.

“It was a very long and slow pro-cess,” Wright said. “It took a lot of patience, which I don’t really have that much of so it was de� nitely a mental battle.”

Wright said her decision to ven-ture across the pond and leave England was a scary one, but the

scholarship to come to New Mex-ico was too good to refuse. � e redshirt freshman said she has re-ceived an unbelievable amount of backing from Albuquerque fans which has made her experience in the U.S. memorable.

“It’s really great having that amount of support,” Wright said. “It really did make it a lot easier for me.”

In her � rst time competing at the national level, Wright said her goal is to be an All-American, but she doesn’t have any standards for the NCAA Division I Nation-al Championships held in Terre Haute, Indiana.

“I don’t know what to expect,

really,” Wright said. “I know that it’s going to be really cold so that will be a challenge.”

Wright said she is hopeful that, despite the cold weather, going to a lower altitude will provide an ad-vantage to the competition.

“It’s her � rst time in a competi-tion like this,” Franklin said. “She will enjoy the experience.”

Liam Cary-Eaves is assistant sports editor for the Daily Lobo. He can be reached at [email protected] or on Twitter @Liam_CE.

“� ey have a lot of di� erent for-mations than you see on a normal basis. � ey do a lot of � ipping, a lot of shifting, a lot of window dressing,” he said. “It’s a very well-conceived o� ense where they don’t take sacks because they run the ball well.”

� e Rams’ defense is another story. � eir defense is below aver-age statistically, ranking 85th in the country in total defense (424 yards per game). CSU allows teams to

rush for 170 yards per game, which is 106 yards less than UNM averag-es per game (276).

But the Rams don’t give up many points. CSU lets opposing teams score 23 points per game, sitting at 38th in the nation.

Last season, UNM had little trou-ble moving the ball against CSU in a 66-42 shootout loss at University Stadium. � e Lobos earned 527 to-tal yards of o� ense in that game.

“On defense they play hard and play a lot of man-to-man cover-age. � ey will be a 4-down team against us,” Davie said. “We have been able to move the ball some against them.”
