!"#:,*(5,%#;*)<=2>"#1-&(2% A recent poll conducted at New Mexico State University found that most students, faculty and staff are afraid to be involved in an accident with a bicycle while walking on campus. The poll, which was sponsored by the NMSU Department of Journalism, asked students, faculty and staff
members how safe they felt while walking, riding bicycles and skateboards or driving on campus. Respondents were asked, “How often in the past year have you been involved in – or witnessed – an accident involving a pedestrian and: a motor vehicle, a skateboard, a bicycle?” The poll revealed 160 pedestrianbicycle

Board of Regents to

Michael Ortiz, a New Mexico ;*(*!$<-&=!6'&*"$)6!'&3!-*&(.$,nalist, visited campus Monday and shared his ties to New Mexico, including his friendship with NMSU Interim President Manuel Pacheco.Ortiz, who is president of California State Polytechnic University Pomona and a native of Carrizozo, was approached by Pacheco in October, at the request of the presidential search committee, and after much talk, was encouraged to join the candidacy, Ortiz said.Ortiz has been the president of Cal Poly for six years and said although he is happy in his current position, he was excited
to explore the opportunity at NMSU.“[I’d be] coming home to a position that would have a statewide impact,” Ortiz said. “The land grant mission probably has the strongest draw.”Ortiz said one of the largest hurdles he has faced during his time at Cal Poly is a budget crisis, with a 21 percent cut in funding and about a 32 percent increase in student fees, along with an enrollment reduction. Ortiz said NMSU should think about its priorities as a whole and focus on reallocating funds internally to deal with budget shortages and the bad economy.“The worst thing you can do is cut across the board,” Ortiz said. Ortiz said the administration and faculty at Cal Poly were at odds when he arrived, but he was able to help.
“Being able to turn that around is one of the things I’m most proud of,” Ortiz said, “and the accumulation of the little things we did on campus to make that happen.”Ortiz said the NMSU and Las Cruces communities are attractive to him in several ways, including diversity, the land grant and space grant missions and green chile.

Rodriguez graduated from NMSU in December 2008 with degrees in finance and economics and then pursued a career at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Rodriguez said he returned to Las Cruces, because he views it as home, and he always wanted to do something to give back. “It’s been really fun and exciting to see the positive response we’ve been getting,” Rodriguez said. “We’re thankful for all the support.” ROJO began operations in September, and donations will be sent to Zimbabwe at the end of every month, Rodriguez said. “We just sent out [the first donations] for our first full
month in operation,” Rodriguez said. Rodriguez said he and Jones chose to send donations to Zimbabwe because it is one of the most impoverished countries in the world, and they wanted to donate to an area that needed it most. Rodriguez said ROJO hopes to have a food packaging event in Las Cruces later in the year, where anyone can volunteer to help package hundreds of meals for the children of Zimbabwe. ROJO is partnered with Global Aid Network, whichconsists of Christian organizations with the goal of helping the needy. Gain members in Zimbabwe hope ROJO will travel to Africa, Rodriguez said. “We are looking forward to visiting very soon,” Rodriguez said. “[We know it will be] a lifechanging experience. We would like that.”

Hawaii is ranked second in
the WAC in total offense and the
Aggies are ranked last.
Still, both teams have strug
gled. The Aggies and the War
riors are both 36 overall and
each have just one conference
win. While the Aggies have
struggled with a lackadaisical
offense, the Warriors have un

gives up more than 33 points
per game.
“Hawaii’s offense is pretty ex

Wayne Walker said. “They have
decent athletes – they are not
great athletes – but I think the
scheme really helps them rack
up the yards and the points.”
Hawaii runs a spread offense,

“We can’t be too concerned

For the Aggies, offense has
been a disaster all year long.
After nine games, Walker
announced Tuesday that Jeff

The Aggies average less than
12 points per game and are near
the bottom in most statistical
offensive categories in the WAC
and the nation.

Smith has been the primary
Aggie ball carrier this season
and said the time off from the
bye week was much needed.
“[The bye] gave me a chance
to rest and relax a little bit and
refocus,” Smith said.
Refocusing has been a theme
for the Aggies as they prepare
for the last four games of the
season.
“The most important thing
right now is winning as many
games as we can,” Walker said,
“and continuing to build this
program into a respectable foot

After typing those two letters, !""#$%&'()'(*+'(),)(*%'-(+."/&'lists “Elizabeth Lambert” as the No. 1 search possibility. Elizabeth Taylor and Elvis Presley, step aside, there’s a new Internet celebrity in town. Within a week, Lambert’s questionable sportsmanship has captured national attention. ESPN featured the junior UNM student on several of its programs, dedicating much airtime for soccer pundits to analyze Lambert’s rough plays during the match last Thursday against Brigham Young University. It didn’t stop there. The next stop on Lambert’s unintentional media blitz was the Today Show on NBC, during which the media giant featured a segment of the infamous Albuquerque resident Monday morning. Next, cable network G4TV featured the video Monday evening on its nightly commentary program, Attack of the Show. After anchors sarcastically con

Similar pages, such as “Elizabeth Lambert for President” and “Elizabeth Lambert Needs Therapy,” have sprouted throughout the social networking site. It would be interesting to know just how many friend requests she received over the weekend on her personal Facebook account. In the blogosphere, some have called her a “loco lobo,” while others are chalking her down to one word: babe. Whatever the case may be, it’s clear she’s a local star, too. The Daily Lobo, UNM’s studentrun newspaper, has posted several letters to the editor on its Web site – some claimed Lambert deserves
forgiveness and others have deduced her actions as “thuggery.” The Internet has proved to be a vehicle toward creating Lambert’s celebrity, and with thousands of hits per day, Lambert needs to begin to weigh her ":*(")+9';8+:%).%.'().%,)(*%$<'for her actions, soccer, for now, is out. Rest assured Lambert, there are some positive side effects to your new fangled Internet glory. Here are some suggestions for tackling the fame: Choose your interviews carefully. By now, you’ve likely received numerous calls from media outlets from around the country. Don’t settle for local news interviews or late night cable screamers. Think
bigger: a classy nighttime slot on 20/20 or Larry King Live. I’m thinking dim lights, your silhouette and, of course, tears. For now, try to avoid late night comedy shows, and as a rule of thumb, steer clear of Dr. Phil. Change your sport. Maybe consider a more aggressive outlet: Rugby, perhaps, or maybe a solitary sport, such as running or shotput. Channel your fervor elsewhere. Write a memoir. Take a few years and develop your craft. Then, let the proverbial wisdom ="-'"8*-41.9'5).&'()'34+%'you’re not aware, memoirs are in. Possible title: “The Story Behind the Ponytail Takedown.” Join a celebreality show. Use your stardom to strengthen ratings over at VH1 or FOX.
Google says you are much more popular than the pseudocelebrities who normally star in reality shows. Even in a negative light, it’s important for the people of New Mexico to thank Lambert. For better or worse, her hit video put us on the map. And what has this taught us? Anyone can become an overnight Internet sensation. Plus, as an added bonus, we now have the phrase “ponytail takedown” in our arsenals. Score one, us. Note: As of press time, Google no longer recognized Lambert in its popular search list, thus proving the volatile status of the instant Internet celebrity. On second thought, go for the Dr. Phil interview.

veryone likes cup
cakes, so how do peo
ple react when they
hear the name “John
ny Cupcakes”? Some
may think Johnny
Cupcakes is a bakery,
or just a name brand of a cup
cake mix, but surprisingly John
ny Cupcakes is a person, and a
quite popular person at that.
Associated Students of New
Mexico State University brought
the famous fashion designer
to NMSU Tuesday for a lecture
series. There was a crowd of
people waiting outside of the
Corbett Center Auditorium and
people guarding doors even be
fore the lecture started.
“I was excited because [John
ny Cupcakes] grew a business
from the ground up when he
was 18 years old,” said Abby
Goodin, a sophomore. “I was
interested because he is such a
cool icon and what he lives for.”
Johnny Cupcakes is not only
a successful business man
that was voted America’s No. 1
Young Entrepreneur of 2008
by BusinessWeekly, but he also
lives and supports a drugfree
lifestyle. During the lecture, he
mentioned that while his friends
were partying he was focusing
on his business and coming up
with new ideas to advance.
The audience ranged from
NMSU students, to members of
the community and fans from
out of town.
“I went to Las Cruces to see
Johnny Cupcakes lecture at
NMSU, because I have been a
fan of his for several years now,”
said Albuquerque resident Patty
Archuleta. “Why not go see him
in Las Cruces if I went all the
way out to Boston to go to his
store.”
Johnny said his name “start
ed as a joke” and it just stuck.
He began making shirts with
cupcakes on them and wearing
them to shows his metalcore
band played. He then started
to wear the shirts at the record
shop he worked at. According
to a periodical published by
Johnny Cupcakes, “one person
would tell 10 people and those
10 people would tell 10 more.”
Johnny started and continued
his business for a couple years
out of the trunk of his 1989 Toy
ota Camry. Now, his business,
according to www.johnnycup
cakes.com, is a “multimillion
dollar, strong, fun, different,
homegrown business.”
“Johnny Cupcakes is an inspi
ration that shows what motiva
tion and hard work can do,” said
sophomore Ryan Dinger. “He
is an awesome speaker and I’m
glad I had the chance to hear his
story.”
