Julia Roberts may never play him in a movie, but considering the work one UNM employee did to try to un-cover the truth about a cancer cluster in Ohio, it’s hard not to compare him to Erin Brockovich.

Adan Garcia, operations manager for the communication and journal-ism department, is the director of the documentary “Fighting for Answers,” a � lm that explores the role waste dumping played in the development of a cancer cluster near his hometown in Ohio.

He said that in the last few years in the small town of Clyde,

For those that choose school over competing for a job, they have had to contend with rising in-state tuition and fees, which jumped from $1,584 in fall 2002 to $2,752 in spring 2011.Tuition will rise another 5.5 percent in the 2011-12.

The Office of Institutional Re-search reports that more than 50 per-cent of UNM’s undergraduates are receiving the New Mexico Lottery or Bridge to Success scholarships, which help defray costs for incoming freshmen who graduated from a New Mexico high school.

“I really didn’t want UNM to raise fees and tuition again next fall, but it doesn’t affect me too much because I

have the Lottery,” student James Ara-gon said.

That, however, doesn’t account for non-residents who pay three times as much as residents and are ineligible for state-sponsored scholarships.

Out-of-state student Ryan Smith said the rapid increase in costs of attendance is forcing him to leave UNM.

“It’s just becoming too expensive,” he said. “I came here because UNM is supposed to be a bargain. That may have been true four years ago, but they’ve raised prices year after year and I am headed back to Texas. I am not paying $10,000 next year to go to a college that is average at best.”

By comparison CNM, which has kept its tuition stable, boasts more undergraduates than any state col-lege, and its student growth the last five years amounts to a 31 percent increase, CNM spokesman Brad Moore said. CNM’s full-time charge is $591, 75 percent less than what UNM charges.

Goering said retention and en-rollment rates are related.

“It’s a safe assumption that both our enrollment and retention in-creases for the past couple of years have been fueled by the recession,” he said. “That is, when jobs are scare students are more likely to stay in school.”

Ohio, they employ half of Clyde. I tried to interview them, and they de-clined to comment with me.”

Garcia began working on the film in August 2009. He said it took him 16 months to complete, and that UNM students Jennifer Williams and Aaron Hamre helped him with the project as well.

Garcia has been featured on numerous local media outlets around Ohio for his documentary. The film has been accepted to the Ohio Film Festival, which takes place this month, and the Sundance Film Festival, which takes place in Janu-ary 2012.

Garcia said he is deciding whether

to premiere his film earlier at the Ohio festival, or wait and have it premiere at Sundance, which is more presti-gious. He said he used $10,000 of his own money to produce the film.

“I’m paying it back still,” he said. “I sold my car to help finance (the film.) But it’s something I felt like I had to do.”

brought in $110 million in revenues, according to the Office of Institutional Research.

It’s unclear whether the decline in research funding compelled faculty to leave the University, but in 2010, 32 professors vacated their posts and an-other 23 retired, according to the Of-fice of Institutional Research.

Mark Chisholm, director of the Of-fice of Institutional Research, said that of UNM’s 834 tenure-track faculty, many left because they were offered retirement benefits last year.

“This is a small amount of faculty that leave or retire each year,” he said.

Virginia McDermott, who left in 2010 to teach at High Point Univer-sity in North Carolina, said that her decision to leave had nothing to do

with the University’s inattention to research.

“I did leave UNM this last year, but it was not because of research free-dom,” she said. “No one at UNM ever interfered in my research, even when I was researching sensitive topics. … UNM even provided some of the funding for my research. I left UNM because of an opportunity to develop a master’s program.”

Faculty pay is the largest section of UNM expenditures, according to the Office of Institutional Research.

Richard Holder, deputy provost for Academic Affairs, said the University tries to persuade faculty members to stay by offering comparable salaries, research support, promotions and better lab equipment, but budget cuts

limit UNM’s ability to negotiate.“If they are offered $30,000 more

somewhere else it is hard to match that,” he said. “The budget cuts affect us heavily because I&G money comes from the state.”

Holder said UNM faculty members make 7 percent less than their peers at other institutions.

“We are always, and always have been well behind our peers, and year after year we have tried to redress that by dedicating all of the money the state gives us to raises,” he said. “We haven’t had a raise in three years, but that is because of budget cuts….the only ad-vantage UNM really has against other universities is the fact that everyone is experiencing budget cuts.”

Elizabeth ClearyNews editor

Editor,

I am writing you to address the blatant ra-cial insensitivity of the political cartoon the Daily Lobo published today on its Opinion page.

It depicts President Barack Obama as a monkey holding the severed head of Osama bin Laden. The cartoon seems to reference a scene from a Disney Movie “The Lion King.”

Quite frankly, as a member of the African American community, as well as a student at the University of New Mexico, I am extremely offended by this depiction.

The idea that at an open-minded college that claims to advocate for minority students is still capable of outright racism is profound. I suppose if the cartoon were to depict a person of Hispanic descent as a gardener or construc-tion worker it would not be published unless it had a positive connotation?

But of course in a state with an 83.6 percent (2009 census) Hispanic population, what else is to be expected?

One could argue that my displeasure with the comic is because of my own racial over-sensitivity. However, I disagree with that. If more people were as sensitive as myself, the problem would never have arose.

Although the paper has already been pub-lished, and the Daily Lobo is not the one re-sponsible for the production of the comic, they are responsible for it being published. Action must be taken by the paper. I would like a for-mal apology on behalf of the paper issued to the African-American community.

The paper needs to take responsibility for its actions.

Markela B. ClintonUNM student

Editor,

There is a lot of discourse taking place these last few days in regards to the moral ap-propriateness of a general celebratory attitude surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden.

I find myself somewhere in the gray area between thrilled-silly and disowning those who find joy in the death of even the most evil people.

But I do feel rather strongly that the pub-lication of a “The Lion King”-themed cartoon depicting the president holding a severed hu-man head (even that of a malicious terrorist responsible for the deaths of hundreds-of-thousands of innocents) is a grim and low-brow move at this juncture.

I realize that the cartoon itself is most like-ly an exaggerated commentary on Americans’ rash, ecstatic jubilation, as well as a possible jab at what some are considering a self-con-gratulatory speech by President Obama on Sunday night, but I don’t think that such a graphically obvious image does anything to promote a thoughtful reaction to what has happened and what’s to come.

Not to mention, you just added another photo to the online database of images depict-ing Obama as a monkey.

Justin OtsukaUNM student

Editor,

I find it troubling and saddening that so many are rejoicing and celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden.

I find it troubling and saddening enough that I posted about it twice in one day on my Facebook status. This may seem mundane and trivial, but I am not one for imposing my views on others. I am not one for revealing my views to others, and I am not one for se-rial and prolific Facebook updates.

That being said, my Facebook updates (as with anyone’s Facebook updates — with

the exception of high profile “Facebookers”) reach only a certain portion of the popula-tion. In times like these, when we have the potential to influence and change, some-times it comes down to a matter of reach-ing people and maybe even resonating with them on some level.

So I would like to share these words that we as a country, and as a human race, would do well to remember and put into practice.

It is hard not to think that some of the im-pulse to celebrate “justice being done” may also contain a certain pleasure in revenge — not just “closure” but “getting even.”

The world is not safer with bin Laden’s vi-olent demise (threat levels are going up, not down), so no cause for celebration there. Evil has not been finally removed from the Earth, so no reason for jubilation on that count. The

War on Terror goes on, so there is no closure in that regard.

“The truth is that ‘celebrating justice’ when one person is killed — as happens regularly in the gang wars of American cit-ies — only incites further desire for revenge, which, from ‘the other side’s’ viewpoint, is usually called ‘justice,’” Dr. Pamela Gerloff said in “The Psychology of Revenge: Why We Should Stop Celebrating Osama bin Laden’s Death.”

“An eye for an eye only leads to more blindness,” Margaret Atwood said.

We have heard it called it justice. And on some level, it probably is. But no matter which way you look at it, it’s schadenfreude.

Editor,

Teachers in the Political Science and Eng-lish departments care about their students.

I am a senior majoring in English and Political Science. When I first came to UNM in 2007 I was a pre-med student studying chemistry and biology.

I spent my first two years in that field, un-til I took American Politics with Dr. Michael Rocca in the Political Science Department and a creative writing course with Greg Mar-tin, a professor in the English Department.

It didn’t take long for me to recognize that these teachers had something special: passion. These teachers showed not only a genuine interest in my education and my coursework, but were also passionate about being educators.

I saw that Martin and Rocca were not col-lege professors for their own personal gain or to further their own research projects.

They are college professors because they are passionate about educating students.

After my experience in those courses, I changed my majors to English and Political Science because those teachers instilled a passion within me about their subjects.

This was the best decision I have made in my four years at UNM. The staff and faculty have continually worked to better my edu-cational experience on and off campus.

The English department has provided me with phenomenal advisement, instruc-tion and life skills.

This fall, the English department is al-lowing me to complete the final hours of my degree abroad in England, an opportunity that comes once-in-a-lifetime.

My English teachers know me by name, and encourage out-of-class interaction through e-mail and spending one-on-one time with me to answer my questions re-garding coursework, future courses and fu-ture career opportunities.

They truly want only the best for me and are relentlessly encouraging and challeng-ing me to be better.

The political science department funded and allowed me to spend an entire semester in Washington, D.C., interning for a mem-ber of the New Mexico Congressional Del-

egation. This experience changed my life forever by providing real-life skills through working full-time in a professional work-place, living in a different culture and re-gion of the country and learning essential aspects of the American way of government first-hand.

This was an opportunity that can never be fully explored by reading a textbook or attending class.

I also had the opportunity to volunteer on a political campaign last semester during the 2010 election, another rewarding experience. Most importantly, my political science professors have challenged, confirmed, and provoked my per-sonal political views and made me defend my beliefs with solid reasoning — an instructional method that will serve me well in the future.

Any student still debating which major to choose should seriously consider majoring in English and/or political science.

The department chairs, faculty, and staff of these departments have my deepest respect, ap-preciation and adoration, for they have inspired my life.

Chelsea StallingsUNM Student

English, political science departments deserve praise

LANGLEY, Ark. — In the same re-mote valley where 20 people died in a flash flood last summer, six Loui-siana Boy Scouts trapped by a rising river built a campfire and ate jam-balaya and grits, confident rescuers would eventually arrive.

The boys’ two adult leaders had them set up camp near a mountain they could climb if their trail flood-ed — one of a series of decisions that allowed the group to emerge un-harmed from the Albert Pike Rec-reation Area in southwest Arkan-sas. Rescuers also praised them for good planning, leaving a map of their planned trek and avoiding the valley floor when they realized how deep and fast the river had grown.

“They did exactly what they need-ed to do,” Montgomery County Sher-iff David White said. “As long as they stayed on high ground, we figured they were going to be in good shape.”

While the weekend’s conditions weren’t as bad as the deadly flood that struck last year while people were sleeping, they were dangerous. The boys crossed the Little Missouri River at the start of their trip Thurs-day but by the time they went to leave Sunday morning, it had grown to 70 yards wide and up to 5 feet deep. Scoutmaster Jeff Robinson tested it and ordered the troop to retreat.

“I realized the water was too strong to cross the river with the boys,” Rob-inson said. A National Guard heli-copter eventually plucked the group to safety after sunrise Tuesday.

The boys said they passed the time in between talking and sleep-ing in. With no cell phone service available, several said their biggest concern was what their parents were thinking.

“I was worried that my parents would freak out,” said Ian Fuselier, 13.

After eating jambalaya, eggs and grits Sunday, the boys had only one meal of jambalaya Monday. But Rob-inson said they had enough food to last several days, a water filter and a dry camp.

“If we had to stay three, four, five days, we had the resources to do so,” he said.

Troop 162 was reported missing when it didn’t return home Monday as planned, and anxious parents and relatives drove up from Lafayette, La. Search teams on the ground couldn’t find the boys, and rain and fog pre-vented a helicopter from doing a flyover.

With no news about their chil-dren, the parents gathered Monday night at a local church in a scene ee-rily similar to a vigil nearly a year be-fore. Pastor Graig Cowart led them in prayer, calling out the names of the stranded boys and asking for their safe return. Relatives joined hands. Some cried.

“These people are really hurting,” Cowart said during the wait Mon-day night. “They felt really alone and isolated.”

The Scouts themselves said there was no reason to worry.

The troop had filed a detailed schedule and map for its hike with a Scout leader who didn’t make the trip, and they knew to avoid low areas during rain, said Art Hawkins, execu-tive director of the Boy Scouts’ Evan-geline Area Council in Lafayette.

One of the problems authorities encountered the year before was they didn’t know exactly how many people were in the park. Also, people had camped in low areas despite be-ing told a flash flood watch had been posted.

The Scouts were found early Tuesday when the weather improved enough for a National Guard heli-copter to make it into the park and spot their campfire. Just after 2 a.m., Guardsmen tossed the troop a bag with supplies: ponchos, food, water and blankets.

After daybreak, a helicopter land-ed in a clearing about 300 yards from their camp. The pilot ferried the eight out in two trips, delivering them near a camp supply store where their fam-ilies applauded their arrival.

Parents who had appeared anx-ious hours earlier said they had full faith in Robinson and assistant scout-master Andy Trahan.

“I knew they were well prepared,” said Jonah Fuselier, Ian’s father.

Authorities didn’t have imme-diate estimates for how much the

The boys and two adult leaders had been missing since Sunday, when rising water cut off their exit from the Albert Pike Recreation Area.

Safety-conscious scouts safe rescue efforts cost or which local and state agencies would pick up the tab. The Scouts wouldn’t be asked to pay, Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler said.

Hawkins said he was sure the boys thought about the people who died last year when they were hiking through the area, but he noted they camped in a different situation and location.

“I wish I could videotape the whole thing,” he said. “This was the lesson of all the things you could do right. There was nothing that could have been done differently to change the outcome.”

MILAN — During 4 1/2 months in orbit, astronaut Paolo Nespoli was able to keep in touch with his ailing mother in Italy from the In-ternational Space Station via a video linkup.

But the astronaut will miss her funeral.

Maria Motta, 78, died on Mon-day evening at home while her el-dest son continued his mission. She will be buried after a funeral in the church in Verano Brianza, a town of 9,300 north of Milan where she was born and where she raised four children, one of whom became an astronaut.

“Even if he was prepared for this possibility — he knew about his mother’s health problems — it is painful not to be able to be near her at the last moments,” Verano Brian-za Mayor Renato Casati told The As-sociated Press.

To protect the family’s privacy, he declined to discuss the illness or its length, but he said that the fam-ily was able to be in frequent touch with Nespoli thanks to a video hook-up installed in Motta’s home by the European Space Agency.

Italian sons, in particular, tend not to venture far from home. But Nespoli, who has been training with NASA in Houston since 1998, has been orbiting the Earth since December on a mission scheduled

Officials say the mother of Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli, who is on the International Space Station, has died in her hometown outside of Milan.

India. His last post was Sunday.Nespoli’s first space mission also

was marked by the death of a par-ent. His father, a banker, died just months after Nespoli was notified he had been accepted for his first space mission, which launched in 2007.

“Paolo said, ‘We have been

waiting so long for this, and my fa-ther didn’t make it to see it,’” Casati recalled.

Casati said Nespoli’s wife and young daughter had traveled back from Houston to be with his mother. Motta is also survived by three other children.

“She was proud of all her chil-

dren, not just one,” Casati said.Officials at the European Space

Agency said that in such an instance it might be possible to set up a satel-lite hookup so the absent astronaut could participate in funeral servic-es. However, Casati said he did not know if it would be technically fea-sible in time.

New Mexico is on heightened alert after the death of Osama bin Laden, but no speci� c threats have been made to the state, New Mexi-co’s homeland security secretary said Monday.

States were told to step up their alert status because of the uncertainty about what might occur in the wake of the al-Qaida leader’s killing by U.S. forces in Pakistan, Secretary Michael Duvall said.

He said residents should be more aware and report anything suspicious to local law enforcement.

New Mexico’s three Air Force bas-es and White Sands Missile Range also have heightened their security.

� e state Department of Home-land Security and Emergency Man-agement is checking open and clas-si� ed information more often than it would otherwise to make sure the agency stays current, Duvall said.

Duvall said the nation should have a better idea over the next few days what the reaction will be to bin Lad-en’s death.

“We’ll be able to build a better pic-ture if threats to our security have de-creased, stayed the same or have in-creased,” he said.

Lt. Stephanie Sterine at Cannon Air Force Base near Clovis said the Air Force on Sunday ordered North American bases to “Force Protection Bravo,” one notch up from the way they’ve operated since Sept. 11.

Bases have to be more vigilant and there might be longer lines to get onto a military instillation and more ran-dom searches, Sterine said.

Kirtland base in Albuquerque and White Sands near Alamogordo said those entering bases will be subject to increased screening. O� cials at Hol-loman base near Alamogordo said people also should be prepared to show two forms of identi� cation.

New Mexico’s largest airport, Al-buquerque International Sunport, has not received any notice from the Transportation Security Administra-tion for more security, said airport spokesman Daniel Jiron.

However, he said workers are be-ing asked to be more aware of what’s going on around them.

DEMING — Luna County sher-i� ’s deputies say a 4-year-old Dem-ing boy was fatally injured when a pickup truck moved as he was play-ing between the rear of the truck and a hydraulic utility trailer hooked to it.

� e Deming Headlight reports Damian Lopez was pronounced dead Friday at Mimbres Memorial Hospital about two hours after the Luna County Sheri� ’s O� ce was noti� ed of the accident.

Sheri� ’s deputies say the boy sus-tained severe head trauma.

Lincolnshire, Ill. — Right from the start, Derrick Rose wondered why he couldn’t be the MVP. It turns out, nothing could stop him.

Rose officially became the NBA’s youngest MVP on Tuesday and joined Michael Jordan as the only Bulls player to win the award, which was no surprise given his spectacu-lar season and Chicago’s leap to a league-leading 62 wins.

He has a ways to go before he catches Jordan, who won five MVPs and led the way to two champion-ship three-peats, but he sure is off to a good start.

“I’m not even touching that man right there,” Rose said. “I’m far away from him. If anything, it would be great to be close to him. This is a dif-ferent team, a different era.”

In his third year, the dynamic point guard led the Bulls to their best season since the championship era.

The 22-year-old Rose got 1,182 points and 113 first-place votes from a panel of media voters, supplanting Wes Unseld as the youngest to win the award with a runaway win. Orlan-do’s Dwight Howard (643 points) fin-ished second, Miami’s LeBron James was third, the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant was fourth and Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant finished fifth.

A product of Chicago’s South Side, Rose established himself as one of the top players in the league after going from Rookie of the Year to All-Star in his first two seasons. He took another step this year with one of the best all-around performances by a point guard.

He averaged 25 points and 7.7 assists while leading Chicago into contention for its first championship since the Jordan-Scottie Pippen era. For all the groaning over the Bulls missing out on James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in free agency, they did quite well for themselves anyway.

Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls won the 2010-11 NBA MVP on Tuesday. It’s Rose’s first MVP award and he becomes the youngest in league history to win it.

NBA picks Rose for MVP

Rose showed up to training camp openly wondering why he couldn’t be MVP. Then, he backed it up.

“It really just came out,” Rose said. “That’s the way I thought at the time. I put a lot of hard work into my game, especially during the summer. ... I dedicated my whole summer to bas-ketball. Even though it was tough, I did it.”

Rose was a picture of humil-ity during the news conference. He thanked everyone from the fans to his teammates, coaches and man-agement, and he choked up when he mentioned his mom, Brenda Rose, and older brothers seated in the front row.

At one point, he looked at her and paused.

“Just thinking how hard she works,” he said. “Those are hard days. My days shouldn’t be hard because I love what I’m doing. That’s playing basketball. You keep me going every day and I love you.”

Rose ranked seventh in scoring and 10th in assists, making him the only player this season in the top 10 in both categories. The only other Bull to do so was Jordan in 1988-89, when he led the league in scoring (32.5 points) and finished 10th in as-sists, according to information pro-vided to the team by the Elias Sports Bureau.

Throw in a 4.1 rebounding av-erage, and Rose joins another elite group. He’s the seventh player in league history to average at least 25 points, 7.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds, along with Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Larry Bird, Wade and James, according to Elias.

“We all knew how good he could be,” veteran forward Luol Deng said. “It’s a big surprise for all of us how quick he got there. We knew he was going to get there; we said that from the start. He’s just a hard worker, a humble kid. He’s really out there just to win games.”

In the postseason, he’s been just as impressive.

He scored 39 and 36 points in the first two playoff games against Indi-ana. Then he shook off two sub-par performances and a sprained left an-kle to score 25 points in Game 5 as the top-seeded Bulls closed out what had been a tight first-round series with a 116-89 victory.

They stumbled in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Atlanta, losing 103-95. Rose scored 24 points, but he hit just 11 of 27 shots and did not attempt a free throw. He also limped off the court after twisting his left ankle, but expects to be ready for Game 2 on Wednesday.

Barcelona, Spain — Barcelona advanced to the Champions League final by dominating Real Madrid in a 1-1 tie Tuesday night, winning the semifinal on 3-1 aggregate as Pedro Rodriguez scored off a perfect through pass from Andres Iniesta in the 54th minute.

In the fourth match between the rivals in 18 days, Rodriguez gave Barcelona a three-goal lead in the home-and-home, total-goals series.

Marcelo scored for Real Madrid in 64th minute off a pass

from Angel Di Maria, whose ini-tial shot bounced back off a post. Marcelo’s was the only shot on goal by the visitors in the entire match.

“Football justice was served,” Bar-celona midfielder Xavi Hernandez said. “The best team got through.”

Seeking its fourth Champions League title and third in six years, Barcelona plays Manchester United or Schalke on May 28 at Wembley. Manchester United takes a 2-0 lead into Wednesday night’s second leg at Old Trafford, and the final could be a rematch of the 2009 champion-ship that Barcelona won 2-0.

Before a crowd of 95,701 in

Barcelona onward to gloryEurope’s largest stadium, Barce-lona again dominated a defensive Madrid, which was without banned coach Jose Mourinho for the match at the Camp Nou Stadium. The Blaugrana had 64 percent posses-sion and completed 631 passes to 261 for Madrid. Barcelona had 11 attempts on goal to just three for Madrid — which didn’t have its first until the 53rd minute.

“Another (setback), like always,” Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas said as Barcelona players celebrat-ed. “We’re not going to get upset because it will just be used against us.”

Real coach Jose Mourinho, sus-pended for the game following his ejection in the first leg, faces an un-certain future in the Spanish capital following a disappointing first sea-son that produced just one trophy: the Copa del Rey.

Los Blancos trail Barcelo-na by eight points in the Span-ish league with just four games remaining and have been crit-icized by former Real great Alfredo Di Stefano for their defen-sive tactics under Mourinho, who won the Champions League with Inter Milan last year and Porto in 2004.

Mourinho was not visible at Camp Nou and apparently watched from the hotel where his team was staying. Assistant coach Aitor Kara-nka insisted there was no commu-nication with Mourinho.

“Mourinho is right — after the (last) game he said it was impossi-ble for us to go forward,” said Kara-nka, who spoke to Mourinho after the whistle. “He said congratula-tions to everyone. He’s feeling angry about what we’ve seen in the last few games with the referees.”

FC Barcelona’s Javier Masherno, right, vies for the ball with Real Madrid’s Emmanuel Adebavor during the semifinal matchup in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. The game resulted in a 1-1 tie, but Barcelona will advance to the league finals.

Racquetball is the fastest-growing sport at UNM.

For eight years, the UNM rac-quetball club team has practiced and played on the top-level courts at Johnson Center.

Ray Gomez, who has been on the team for three years, said that the club has expanded.

“In my first year, we maybe had eight people, and now we have around 20,” he said.

Since the racquetball team is a club sport at the University, like hockey and rugby club teams,

the UNM racquetball club re-ceives little funding. Fundraisers and members’ money support the team.

The UNM club is a part of the United States Racquetball Associ-ation, which allows the squad to play in national tournaments.

Andrew Moser, who is been a member of the club for four years, said that two years ago, the USRA set up a five-year plan to get the sport recognized by the NCAA.

“Hopefully within the next three years we will be NCAA-sponsored and become a scholar-ship sport,” he said. “At that point, (college) racquetball can take

Racquetball can be played solo or in pairs, but Moser said that at the college-level, they play indi-vidually and in nationals.

The UNM racquetball team competes against regional teams instead of Mountain West Con-ference teams because funding is so miniscule, Moser said. He said that UNM plays Utah, Colorado, Colorado State, Arizona, Arizona State and some Texas schools.

“We would try and travel a couple times throughout the year and try and play these teams,” Moser said. “Maybe we would meet in Utah and Colorado would meet us there to and play a little tournament. That would be pre-nationals and help us out with rankings.”

This season the UNM racquet-ball team took 15th place in the national’s tournament in April, but it’s just as much an individual sport.

The first-place finisher at the national tournament earns a spot on the U.S. national racquet-ball team that competes in the Olympics.

Gomez said he lives for the sport, but there are others who play strictly for enjoyment. No matter their skill levels, Gomez said old and new club mem-bers have developed a tight-knit relationship.

“You just come and have fun and try,” he said. “If you like it, learn to love and just keep work-ing at it. We have people who just love to play and they always show up.”
