Seven members of the Bridge slate � led a contest of election on Friday, but on Sunday they rescind-ed their complaints.

“We think as a slate that any in-fraction should be addressed … and if it is not addressed, in the future it is not corrected,” said Travis Maes-tas, a Bridge slate member.

Yet Maestas said the Bridge slate wouldn’t have had enough evidence to present a strong case against the BAM! slate, whose members swept the election last week. Eight of the 10 members on the BAM! slate are Resident Advisers.

MAGGIE SEELEY,SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM LECTURERNSWER

Maggie Seeley, Sustainabili-ty Program lecturer, is an expert in third world community develop-ment and working with small orga-nizations in India, Nigeria and Bra-zil. She also worked with the United Nations and as a lobbyist in Wash-ington D.C. to promote low-income housing plans.

Daily Lobo: How did you get in-volved with sustainability work?

Maggie Seeley: I was work-ing in a village in Nigeria and I no-ticed that the villagers were collect-ing rain water in clay pots on top of

their roofs and I thought, “� ey live in the desert like New Mexico, why don’t we catch water on our roofs?” � ey have been doing this in Ni-geria for centuries. A lot of my les-sons came from the third world and permaculture.

DL: Could you explain permaculture?

MS: Permaculture has been around for 30 or 40 years before my discovery. It is putting together an interdependent discipline of what’s already happening. You’ll notice how some plants grow together. For

instance, if you see poison ivy in the woods you often see the antidote close by.

DL: How can someone liv-ing in an urban area practice permaculture?

MS: Harvesting and cleaning your own water is one way. I’ve built a constructive wet plan and I take rain water from my roof and I take gray water from my house and run it through a series of filters and it comes out as good as drinking wa-ter. Working with 1,000 square feet area and an inch of rain, you can collect 630 gallons of water.

DL: What is the cost of collecting and cleaning your own water?

MS: I paid $750 to construct the system to get the rain off my roof and built a whole gray water system for $2,400.

DL: What accomplishments, in terms of sustainability, have you been a part of on campus?

MS: We built a bio-diesel proces-sor, a small water catchment system at the Department of Education and brought the first farmers’ market on campus.

DL: Where do you see the Sus-tainability Program going?

MS: I see it turning into a major where students can be prepared for viable ‘green jobs.’ Next semester, I am teaching a course called Practi-cum for Campus and Community, where students will build some-thing very practical like making green dorms or bringing back the farmers’ market.

pounds of red boiled potatoes, 30 pounds of mashed potatoes, three gallons of green chili sauce and two gallons of charro beans because they were stored at improper tempera-tures, according to the health code vi-olation report.

Since the inspection, Chartwells terminated Donna Provost, then-manager of La Posada.

Rudy Simchak, resident district manager of Chartwells, said Provost’s termination had nothing to do with the inspection but came as a result of a management restructuring last summer.

Simchak said La Posada routinely discards 40 to 60 pounds of the 1,500 pounds of food they deal with daily.

“If for some reason — especially at the end of the day — any product (is) left on the line, we don’t chill it and re-serve it. It’s trash,” he said.

Simchak said that the food is com-posted, not thrown away.

Also, Simchak said the dining hall’s size contributed to the large num-ber of health code violations. He said most other restaurants don’t have as large a kitchen or as many serving sta-tions, which reduces the risk of break-ing health regulations.

“It’s a combination of size and the inspection at that point and time,” he said. “If you have the same viola-tion at three locations, you have three violations.”

Simchak said management hasn’t heard of student illness resulting from

La Posada meals.“We throw away food that could,

anyway, be harmful to the recipient of the food. We always side on the side of caution,” he said. “We feed 8,000 to 9,000 meals a day, and (there is) no mention of illness there.”

Each of the La Posada violations were first-time offenses, which Sim-chak said is significant.

“The important thing is that they’re not repeat violations,” he said.

The NMED issued four citations to the Sonic in the SUB. Three of the vio-lations were repeat violations.

Shredded cheese in the hot dog station was 19 degrees warmer than recommended, according to the health code violations report. The vio-lation was corrected on site.

Thomas Cruse, Sonic manager, said the cheese used on Sonic hot dogs is genetically modified, so hold-ing it at the NMED’s required 45 de-grees is unnecessary.

“(The health inspector) has got a thing about the cheese, and tech-nically … for Sonic, we don’t have any requirements per se to keep the cheese cold, because bacteria won’t grow on it,” Cruse said.

The repeat violations were issued first three years ago, and the other two were for a damaged counter below the soft drink dispenser and for dirty walls in the front of the eatery.

Cruse said the damaged counter has to be fixed by University officials and the walls are cleaned regularly.

in that morning, and some of the stuff wasn’t at temperature.”

Aragon said the restaurant has not had problems with its distribu-tor since the incident.

The NMED ordered Perico’s to close immediately because its walk-in freezer was 7 degrees too warm, but Perico’s management adjust-ed the settings, allowing them to reopen.

Aragon said Perico’s permit was reinstated so quickly that the restau-rant didn’t lose any business.

“We were not actually closed down,” he said. “It was within an hour. We weren’t even open for business for that day yet.”

Perico’s also received a citation for evidence of insects, and Aragon said the restaurant has taken steps to fix the problem.

“We had one fly machine al-ready that attracts the flies, and they die,” he said. “We decided to get another one to help towards that.”

Also, the NMED gave notice last year for “blood and food debris on the bottom of the reach-in freezer“ to Ho ho’s, a Chinese food restau-rant on Yale.

A Ho ho’s manager declined to comment about this violation.

And finally, Fei’s Café, on Cen-tral across from the University, had four violations, two of which were labeled “critical.” A Fei’s manag-er declined to comment on the health code violations.

The Daily Lobo examined the records of all restaurants off of Central Avenue east of I-25 and west of Nob Hill.

WASHINGTON— A bruising de-bate on health care awaits the Sen-ate after Thanksgiving now that the historic legislation has cleared a key hurdle over the opposition of Repub-licans eager to inflict a punishing de-feat on President Barack Obama.

The bill would extend coverage to roughly 31 million who lack it, crack down on insurance company prac-tices that deny or dilute benefits and curtail the growth of spending on medical care nationally.

NEW YORK— A subway passen-ger stabbed to death in front of hor-rified straphangers has been identi-fied as 36-year-old Dwight Johnson of Brooklyn.

Authorities say some 30 passen-gers watched as Gerardo Sanchez of the Bronx stabbed Johnson at around 2 a.m. Saturday in an argument over a seat.

Police say the passengers were trapped with the knife-wielding at-tacker and his victim until the train arrived at the station at Seventh

Avenue and 53rd Street.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif.— Officials at the University of California, Santa Cruz say dozens of protesters who were occupying the university’s main administrative building have ended their protest.

Campus spokesman Jim Burns says the nearly 70 or so protesters who had occupied the university’s Kerr Hall since Thursday in a demon-stration over fee hikes walked out of the building around 8 a.m. Sunday.

According to the new entry, resi-dent advisers shall “assume no ma-jor offer or chairperson positions in campus activities, campus student government or residence hall com-munity associations.”

Another complaint alleged that BAM! campaign workers stepped inside designated 25-foot barriers at the Student Residence Center, which campaigners aren’t allowed to go into.

The Bridge slate said it had sourc-es that witnessed BAM! members vi-olating the rules, but the witnesses didn’t want to testify for fear of ret-ribution, said Bridge slate member Shauna Sulima.

“They were not comfortable ap-pearing at the trial because they are residents and they didn’t want (the RAs) to be against them,” Sulima said. “So, since they do live in the dorms, it would have been uncom-fortable for them.”

The second complaint alleged that BAM! members campaigned inside Johnson Center, which is off limits, on election day.

Arman Salehian said he saw a BAM! member inside Johnson Cen-ter, but because of a scheduling con-flict, he couldn’t make it to the meet-ing on Sunday to give his testimony.

Maestas said this is one of the reasons for withdrawing the contestation.

“One of our slate members saw them crossing the line, but that person couldn’t show up because they had work,” Maestas said. “They couldn’t really get off of work with-out risking their position with their employer.”

Moore said it would have been inconvenient, but the Bridge slate had other options to turn in a testi-mony besides in person. He said the Bridge candidate could have sub-mitted a written affidavit.

Sulima said that another witness, who is also a member of the Bridge slate, didn’t have adequate evidence against the BAM! slate.

“We could say it happened, but they could also say, ‘What evidence do you have?’” Sulima said. “And in that case we didn’t have any. We didn’t feel like we had enough evidence for it to be a significant complaint.”

BAM! member Melissa Trent said the BAM! slate would have wel-comed any complaint because they had nothing to hide.

“I don’t believe that they held any weight,” Trent said. “The claims were against our volunteers, and we had some really fantastic vol-unteers. And we ran the best cam-paign we could. We ran as clean as we could.”

Editor,What makes Techno Guy think the rest of

us want to be exposed to his type of music in the first place? How arrogant is that? I can’t imagine invading his space with my music.A boom box is about as political as a car ra-dio. (Do you ever wonder why drivers never blare classical music?) I think he must mean a soapbox, not a boom box, is political. Go-o-o Burbank!

Editor,The end of the great Men’s NCAA tour-

nament soccer match Thursday night was a ridiculous spectacle. I could not believe it; we fans were completely in shock. UNM outplayed Portland all game long. At the last second one or both line judges failed to call offside when the Portland forward was obviously offside. That one bad call

resulted in the “winning goal.” The UNM defender had correctly executed an off-side trap, but then the line judges spoiled the whole game by missing this important event. It’s just not fair. I am a very experi-enced soccer spectator, both live and on TV. I also played a lot of soccer in my youth. I was sitting in the stands near midfield in the perfect spot to have a good perspective on the offside event. It was quite obvious to me, but no call was made. I think it was more ob-vious than some of the offside calls that of-ficials have made in professional matches.These things happen quickly, so how can I

be certain it was a bad non-call? I think we need to look at the video of the end of the match again to make sure. Can the Daily Lobo obtain video from this soccer match and examine the end? Could you post just the last minute of the game on the Internet so everyone can see what happened? I think the UNM players at least deserve some proof of what really happened, regardless of the official result.

Editor,I have found my walk past the SUB on my

way to classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays are less stressful than they have been in the recent past.

First, I assumed there must be a sim-ple explanation for my calm demeanor. I must be having great bicycle rides in the mornings, or I’m not too behind on my homework.

How I love walking around on the beau-tiful campus when the sun’s out, people are happy, smiling and friendly.

What? I can’t hear you! Hold on, let me turn down the music. That’s it! I haven’t been barraged by the unnecessarily loud, disagreeable noise on my way to class in a couple of weeks. Techno Guy must have been the culprit of the distracting moments

of anxiety in between my classes every Tues-day and Thursday.

What an amazing relief to hear the birds in the trees again and to be able to stroll to class calmly instead of dreading my usual shin-splitting, marathon walk past the SUB in order to keep my wits about me.

It is one thing to want to “broaden peo-ple’s perception of music and inspire New Mexico’s musical culture to develop.” I agree with this notion. But it is not ethically justi-fiable to disregard each individual’s choice and right to take classes, work, or even vis-it a state university campus without ongo-ing offensive background music. I choose to listen to all different kinds of music from underground hip-hop to old-school coun-try and western, jazz, rock and roll, salsa, Balkan and blues, among others. There is a time and place for all genres of music, so I’m not going to close my mind to any of the broad categories.

Our University serves nearly 26,000 stu-dents, employs roughly 1,500 faculty and

numerous staff — ranging in ages, back-grounds and cultures — all of whom have equal rights. I’m sure many people at UNM are interested in musical diversity, and probably appreciate the chance to hear var-ious kinds of music. Our campus is public, after all, and this means it is open to every-one. However, there is a protocol for set-ting up displays, having talks and making speeches, as well as giving away free food at UNM. The standards of each formality must be upheld in order to protect the Uni-versity’s learning environment. Just think how much more effective you can “spread your vibe” if you do so in a respectful man-ner. More of us might be more accepting of Techno Guy’s electronica if we knew when to expect it on campus, where we can go to listen, and for how long we could anticipate the show to last.

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS:

THIS WEEK’S POLL:

Were immigration o� cials right to arrest a UNM graduate student while he was on campus and immediately deport him?

Out of 179 total responses

How seriously do you take reported health code violations at restaurants?

Yes. He was undocumented so he didn’t have the right to be here.

Any infraction turns me o� . Restaurants should be sterile to be healthy. Otherwise, shut it down.

Yes. Immigration and Customs Enforcement o� cials should be able to arrest people regardless.

I prefer to give the restaurant enough time to � x its violations, and then I assume it’s safe to eat there again.

No. People shouldn’t be deported without having time to settle their accounts and make arrangements with friends or co-workers.

Health code o� cials hold restaurants up to strict guidelines. It’s in a restaurant’s best interest not to get patrons sick, so even if the restaurant has infractions, chances are it’s nothing too serious.

No. Undocumented immigrants shouldn’t have to fear arrest while they’re in an educational setting.

People rarely die from health code violations. I don’t really care as long as the food’s good.

JAKARTA, Indonesia— Rescuers saved more than 240 people aboard a crowded Indonesian passenger ferry that sank Sunday in rough wa-ters off Sumatra island, but 29 peo-ple have died and at least 17 others were missing, officials said.

A second ferry ran aground nearby, but all its passengers were said to be safe.

Indonesian ferry accidents have killed hundreds of people in recent years. Boats are often overcrowded, and safety regulations are poorly enforced. The vast country spans more than 17,000 islands, and boats are a popular and relatively cheap form of transportation.

The Dumai Express 10 sank in stormy weather 90 minutes into an inter-island trip from Batam to Du-mai in Riau, a province off Sumatra island in western Indonesia. The area is about 600 miles (900 kilo-meters) northwest of Jakarta.

The ship sank about 30 minutes after huge waves damaged its bow and water started seeping in, ac-cording to a report from the ship’s captain, said Lt. Col. Edwin, the lo-cal navy chief.

A survivor, who only gave his name as Riki, said he escaped from the ship by breaking a window and was rescued by fishermen, the offi-cial news agency Antara reported.

“It was too fast ... and the ship crew did not tell us about the situa-tion at all,” he said. “We only man-aged to get out after I broke the glass window on the right side. That was the only way because there were many people jostling for the doors.”

He said he saw some passengers jump into the sea without life jack-ets. Passing boats picked up dozens and took them to nearby islands for medical treatment.

Local television news showed two survivors, wearing life jackets, floating on the water.

High waves made the rescue

operation difficult. At its peak, there were at least nine ships and several fishing boats searching the choppy sea.

Rescue teams found 29 bodies, including those of two children, ac-cording to the latest reports, said Rustam Pakaya, the head of the Health Ministry’s crisis center. He said at least 17 others were believed to be missing. Some 245 survivors were rescued.

Authorities called off search and rescue operations after night-fall, said Yasin Kosasih, a local po-lice chief coordinating the rescue mission.

“Considering the weather condi-tions and the dark, we ... will resume the search tomorrow morning,” Ko-sasih said.

There was some uncertainty about how many people were on board the ferry when it sank.

Police and navy officials said the ferry manifest listed 228 passengers, including 15 children, and in addi-tion, there were 13 crew, but the

Rescuers saved more than 240 people aboard an Indonesian passenger ferry that sank Sunday in rough waters off Sumatra Island, officials said. Search operations were called off after nightfall for the unknown number of passengers still missing.

Indonesia suffers deadly ferry accidents

number of people accounted for has already surpassed that.

The ship had a capacity of 273, but it is not uncommon for ferries to be overloaded.

In a separate accident Sunday, a second ferry, the Dumai Express 15, with 278 people on board ran aground on its way from Batam to Moro island in Sumatra. No one

was hurt, said local police chief Ya-sin Kosasih. All were evacuated to a nearby island.

Indonesia has suffered sever-al major ferry accidents in recent years.

In December 2006, a crowded ferry broke apart and sank in the Java Sea during a violent storm, killing more than 400 people.

probably seemed like the Spanish Armada.

Forced to walk the plank by the media, Locksley was drown-ing amid a sea of dysfunction and salty criticism lobbed at him from every angle imaginable — until the Rams threw him a life jacket on Saturday.

Regardless, he, and more im-portantly the players, came through against the Rams.

The offense looked the best it had all year, amassing 467 yards, 270 on the ground. Running backs Kasey Carrier and Demond Den-nis looked better than advertised.

Dennis rushed for 133 yards on just seven carries, a whopping av-erage of 19 yards per carry. Carri-er, who scrapped his redshirt this year to fill in when Dennis got in-jured earlier in the season, dashed for 88 yards and made several CSU defenders whiff.

“This is a glimpse of what it’s like when we are executing and hitting on all cylinders,” Locksley said. “To me, the only stat that matters is the ‘W’ or the ‘L’ at the

end of the day.”The defense, too, came up with

key, game-changing stops. James Aho was money, instead of Mo-nopoly money, like he was a week ago.

Still, the Lobos finally got their missing ingredient: a sprinkle of luck.

Down 27-26, the Lobos forced CSU into a three-and-out. Disas-ter almost struck again — in which case President Obama would have needed to declare a state of emergency.

CSU punter Pete Kontodiakos shanked a 27-yard punt which glanced off an unabated Lobo blocker. This time, the Lobos re-covered — the rest is history.

Locksley was doused with Ga-torade, and despite frigid temper-atures, looked warm, his heart no doubt heated by inspiration and pride.

Surprisingly, Locksley didn’t well up at the podium.

Though it wasn’t a bid at an Earth-stopping, axis-changing upset of then-No. 22 BYU, UNM

desperately needed this win over CSU — for the players and for the coaches.

You could hear it in the voice of quarterback Donovan Porterie, who overcame a late-game inter-ception that capsized the Lobos’ fourth-quarter lead from 23-21 to 27-23.

All of the miscues — for once, they didn’t matter.

This victory, Porterie said, is “somewhere around like the bowl victory for the first time in like 50 years. It was just a very emotional night for us.”

Conference. “We got a bunch of kids in there playing hard and doing some good things. We just can’t get every-body on the same page. We continue to do things like line up wrong — drop balls — and it’s our own doing. You get what you deserve.”

Later in the first quarter, Porte-rie was intercepted by CSU defensive back Gerald Thomas with the game tied at 7.

However, the Rams couldn’t capi-talize on the pick.

The senior quarterback would take UNM on another scoring drive in the first half, but not before Aho made his first field goal of the day from 21 yards to give the Lobos a three-point advan-tage, 10-7.

On the ensuing kick off, CSU returner Alex Square had the ball knocked loose by UNM defensive back Frankie Solomon. UNM recovered.

Nine plays later, Porterie found receiver Quintell Solomon on a 21-yard touchdown strike. The score put UNM up 17-7, the Lobos’ largest lead of the season.

UNM found its way to the win be-cause of the team’s experience level, Porterie said.

“About two or three other times this season we have been in similar situations,” he said. “This week a lot of guys stepped up and came up big for us and made a lot of plays for us down the stretch. We are leaving University Stadium as winners.”

“To be honest I was not paying at-tention at all to the drive before the kick,” Aho said. “All I knew is we had gotten the ball back at pretty close range. I went back and grabbed my helmet. I stood back there for a while. I was kind of off in my own world. … To me whenever you pay attention you start over-thinking things, which messes up a lot of things in kickers’ heads.”

Aho was 3-of-3 in field goals against Colorado State, and the last was the most crucial.

Locksley said he never doubted Aho for a second.

“James is a great kicker,” he said. “I don’t agree with the categoriza-tion that he struggled all year. He had a rough game last week. But he has made some big kicks for us early on. I have the utmost confidence in him.”

It was a weekend of threes for the UNM men’s basketball team.

Three games, three wins — over Nicholls State, Louisiana Tech and then Miami of Ohio on Sunday — three players on the All-Tournament team.

Throughout the UNM-hosted Travelers Tournament, the Lobos put up three 80-point games, winning by double digits all weekend.

In Sunday night’s tournament wrap up, the Lobos blew out Miami of Ohio University 85-60 to finish off a perfect 3-0 weekend.

“To have such lopsided wins (over the weekend) speaks volumes for our guys,” said head coach Steve Alford. “We came in after Las Cruces and said it was 120 minutes this weekend — no

practice. Let’s just bust our tales and have a lot of fun.”

Junior college transfer Darington Hobson was voted MVP of the tour-nament. Roman Martinez and Phillip McDonald were selected to the All-Tournament team.

The Lobos came out in the first half utilizing a zone defense. Both teams worked out of their motion, burning a decent amount of the shot clock be-fore deciding on a shot.

Martinez, who had 15 points in Sunday’s game, said the team was just keying on the weaknesses of their opponent.

“We do a scouting report before games, and we were just trying to shut down what they were trying to do,” he said. “We try to go out there and play hard defense. Throughout three

see Three page 9

The self-same moment Locksley begged; And from his neck so free The Albatross fell off, and sank Like lead into the sea.“I’m hoping this is the first victory in a long career as a head coach,” Locksley said.Excerpts were taken from Taylor Coleridge’s poem, “Rime of the Ancient Mariner.”

Joey Trisolini / Daily LoboPoint guard Jamal Fenton darts through the lane against Louisiana Tech on Saturday. The Lobos swept the weekend, defeating Nicholls State on Friday, Tech on Saturday and Miami of Ohio on Sunday. The Lobos quickly dispatched Miami 85-60.

games, you would think we would kind of die down, but we held tough.”

The Lobos were marked and pre-cise in the first 10 minutes of the game. And while the shots came slow, the points came fast.

Four minutes into the game, the Lobos went on a 14-3 run over the next five minutes, pushing UNM’s lead to 25-10.

The Lobos couldn’t miss. They went 9-of-12 from the field, shooting 75 percent 10 minutes in.

UNM ended up shooting 53.6 per-cent from the field to end the half. But as UNM’s shooting faded, the Red-hawks’ shooting dipped even lower.

By the end of the half, Miami was shooting just 35 percent and an even poorer from the 3-point line. The Lobos led 45-21 at the half.

Miami’s Nick Winbush, who scored a game-high 25 points, started off the second half with a command-ing dunk.

Lobo forward A.J. Hardeman, quick to retaliate, broke free for a dunk of his own on the next play, si-lencing the Miami players and ener-gizing Lobo fans.

Miami went on a 9-4 run to begin the second half. But they were only knocking chips off the huge lead the Lobos amassed in the first half. Soon UNM coasted to a 20-plus point lead for the rest of the game.

All 11 Lobo players hit the floor and scored, with four of them — Har-deman, Hobson, Martinez and Chad Adams — scoring in double digits.

“As long as we are winning every-one is happy,” said Adams, who scored 13 points for the Lobos. “It doesn’t re-ally matter. Scoring a lot is good but a balanced effort is even better.”

Friday’s scoring summary mir-rored Sunday’s, with four Lobos hit-ting double digits. And sandwiched between them was Hobson’s break-out performance on Saturday.

Hobson teed off against Louisiana Tech on Saturday, putting up a career-

high 30 points and 10 rebounds in an 81-52 win. He shot 50 percent from field goal range and 3-of-4 from the 3-point line.

With two minutes left in the first half, Hobson went on a 6-0 run by himself. He also forced a turnover on a charge.

The excitable Hobson fired up the

crowd and had to be warned and re-strained by officials, coaches and teammates.

“You’ll see me talking to him throughout the season,” Alford said. “He has got a little J.R. (Giddens) Beetle Juice to him. That is just the way he is. I just got to keep talking to him.”

Certain things weren’t meant to be set in stone.

For example, an 0-12 season for

the UNM football team. � e Lobos defeated Colorado

State, 29-27, thanks to a redemptive performance by sophomore kicker James Aho, who booted a � eld goal in the � nal 12 seconds at University Sta-dium on Saturday.

� e perfect kick by Aho ended the Lobos’ bid at imperfection and saved 17 members of the football team’s se-nior class going winless and losing their last game at home.

First-year head coach Mike Locksley, who has had his share of

struggles on and o� the � eld this year, was at a loss for words after earning his � rst victory as a collegiate head coach.

“It’s been a long time coming, and it’s been a long year, but as I’ve said many times after some tough losses, I haven’t been more proud of a team than this team, and I’ve been a part of some great teams in my 18 years of coaching,” Locksley said. “I’ve learned as a coach from this team and the character that this team has shown week in and week out, through ad-versity, through losses, through inju-ries, losing some key guys. � ey stuck together and that’s what families do. � is team is a family, and we won it together.”

Just when Locksley looked primed to get his � rst win, quarterback Don-ovan Porterie allowed CSU back into the game.

Up 23-21 and driving, Porterie was baited into a crucial mistake. In the fourth quarter, Porterie was picked o� by CSU’s Nick Oppenneer on the Rams’ 3-yard line, and 97 yards later UNM trailed 27-23.

But Porterie regained his compo-sure, leading the Lobos into a � eld goal position twice thereafter, and the last time set up Aho’s game-ending kick.

� e victory concluded a UNM los-ing streak which reached 14 games, dating back to the Lobos’ last vic-tory on Oct. 18, 2008, when UNM trounced San Diego State, 70-7, in Albuquerque.

Remarkably, the Lobos carried momentum from a hotly contested game against BYU.

And this time, the result was di� erent.

Porterie and Co. opened the game

in the same fashion as they did against the Cougars.

� e quarterback led an opening drive that covered 80 yards on 12 plays and hit wide receiver Victor James in the corner of the end zone to put the Lobos up 7-0 early.

� e Rams answered with a 67-yard drive, � nished by running back John Mosure, who rambled into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown. Mosure rushed for 179 yards o� 27 carries, in-cluding two touchdowns.

However, CSU head coach Steve Fairchild said he was disgusted with his team’s lack of execution in all three phases of the game.

“I was not pleased at all, and we should have won that game,” Fairch-ild said, whose Rams fell to 3-8 over-all and 0-7 in the Mountain West

Boom. Boom. Boom. Let me hear you say Aho!

A name scorned last week is now celebrated.

A 27-yard � eld goal in the waning seconds of the Colorado State game may overshadow any sour memory fans had about kicker James Aho. It all but solidi� ed the UNM football team’s � rst win, a 29-27 thriller, and the � rst for the Lobos in more than a year.

“After it went in, I was just try-ing to � nd a way to avoid the big old linemen ambushing me,” Aho said.

For the last two weeks, Aho has been a subject of conversation af-ter games — but for vastly di� erent reasons.

In a game of horrible luck against BYU last week, Aho knocked three kicks o� the goal post — two � eld goals and one extra point. � e extra

point actually bounced o� the left and right post before the refs sig-naled it was no good.

Earlier that game, Aho’s kick was blocked, setting the tone for the sub-sequent mishaps. � e Lobos ended up losing by � ve.

It looked like that might have been repeated again on Saturday. � e Lobos scored their third touch-down of the night late in the third quarter, going up 23-21. � en Aho’s extra point was batted down.

With � ashbacks from last week, Aho could have spiraled downward.

But the block was a product of breakdowns in blocking protec-tion, and Aho said he got some en-couragement from head coach Mike Locksley.

“When a coach supports you in what you do and tells you are not wrong in what you do, it helps a lot, especially in the mind of the kicker,” Aho said.

Aho has needed that encourage-ment throughout the season, since

it’s been a streaky ride. He was 9-of-17 from � eld goal range going into Saturday, granted two of them were blocked.

And four weeks into the season against NMSU, Aho failed in a simi-lar game-ending situation.

With seconds remaining and the Lobos down three, Aho missed a 47-yard � eld goal that would have sent the Rio Grande Rivalry into over-time. Instead of being hoisted in the air by his linemen, Aho crouched motionless on the turf, clutching his head in disbelief.

Flash forward to Saturday: With a minute left, Aho was staring down a 49-yard � eld goal — two yards far-ther than his NMSU miss and one yard past his season long.

Luckily, Kasey Carrier’s 22-yard run set Aho up with a 27-yard chip shot. Carrier’s dash was probably seen by everyone in the stadium ex-cept Aho.

by Isaac AviluceaDaily Lobo

Curse ye, Colorado State. Curse ye, for ruining the UNM football team’s quest for imperfection.

The Rams, entering Saturday’s contest riding a seven-game los-ing streak — outdone only by the Lobos, who had lost 14 consecu-tive games dating back to last year — looked like they had swapped uniforms with UNM at University Stadium.

(Note to Athletics Director Paul Krebs: This slim 29-27 win for the Lobos doesn’t merit a contract ex-tension for Locksley. Just making sure you know.)

And now, the Albatross has fi-nally been removed from Lock-sley’s neck. The Lobos were such easy picking — as dice-able as to-matoes — until Saturday.

Well, it was a good run. Ten weeks without having to eat my words? I, like Locksley, have lost about 30 pounds this season as a result.

Nope, I’m not going to rain on Locksley’s parade.

Credit is due — long overdue, for that matter. See, I’ve been wait-ing to hand it out all season, Lock-sley. I’m not that hard to please.

No matter how high the tides swelled, or how many of his co-horts fled, the embattled coach continued to fend off what
