Budget crisis
Texas legislature to cut funding to UTEP
BY DIANA ARRIETA
The Prospector
The University of Texas at El Paso’s budget,
along with those of other universities in the
state, could be cut by $1.7 billion due to the
proposed state spending budget released during the 82nd Texas Legislative Session.
The proposal reduces the current budget for
higher education spending by 7.6 percent. This
does not include funding for increased student
enrollment, but it does scale back financial aid
for entering freshmen at public universities.
“It’s really frightening to think that the economic condition of the state is so bad right
now. Most students here at UTEP and all
throughout Texas public colleges and universities find themselves under some kind of
financial aid program that helps pay for their
education,” said Cindy Almeda, sophomore
geology major. “The fact that we currently
have a slow economy and that there will be
large money reductions is scary to think about
and depressing.”
It is because of this shortage of state funds
that students may see a rise in tuition rates at
public universities during the next couple of
years.
“It is always difficult knowing there
will be a shortage of money but the
crucial thing that will be happening is an increase in tuition,” said
Gregory Rocha, associate professor of political science. “If students are going to receive this service (education), they are going to
have to pay for it without relying too
much on state money anymore.”
Although the proposed budget, released
by the Legislative Budget Board, has not
been reviewed by the House Appropriations Committee, state Rep. Dee
Margo said he would advocate for
UTEP.
“I intend to advocate for UTEP
to the best extent of my abilities,
especially for the $100 million
research building that will help
the university attain tier-one
status,” Margo said.

Special to The Prospector
UTEP graduates have the opportunity to apply to The Odyssey Program, which is designed to teach
women entrepreneurs to develop
their own high-growth, scalable
company.
“The program offers hands-on experience and close mentoring and
consultations with experienced entrepreneurs, who have developed or
launched their own companies in the
past,” said Eli Velasquez, executive
director of Innovate El Paso, a non
profit organization that coordinates
and hosts the Odyssey Program.
Although the Odyssey program is
open for both male and female participants, Velasquez said their curric-
ulum is focused on teaching women
how to develop their own scalable
companies.
“Women are a largely underrepresented group of entrepreneurs in
our community and our nation,”
Velasquez said. “The focus is to help
develop that demographic of entrepreneurs and we believe the program
will grow to teach aspiring women
expand their companies.”
The program runs for 35 weeks and
is looking for 25 participants. Candidates must have a passion for entrepreneurship and live in El Paso or
Las Cruces. They must have a college
degree, have a few years of work experience, have served in an executive

Where are the UTEP fans?
BY SAL GUERRERO
The Prospector
So far this season,
I have attended every men’s basketball
game at the Don
Haskins Center.
One thing that
struck me is the attendance numbers for students are
not quite what they should be for
a team that has posted 19 wins on
the year and is contending for first
in Conference USA with UAB and
Southern Miss.
Now I am not calling out all fans,
those true believers who call themselves Miner Maniacs are always
there. But their numbers are small
compared to the amount of students
that should be attending each game.
Granted, this is just an eyeball
guess, but it seems to me that the
number of students in the stands is
far less than the average over the last
couple years. If I had to say, there are
no more than a couple hundred students that attend every game—not
counting Texas Tech.
Now, there are those rowdy guys
who sit front row at every event,
thank you for that. Besides the band,
the Miner Maniacs—all 12 of them—
are the only supporters who go and
make their voices heard.
But then again, I think to myself,
should I really be surprised with a
fan base like the one we have here in
El Paso? Even when we have two of
the best players in the country, senior
guard Randy Culpepper, who’s on the
Naismith watch-list and senior point
guard Julyan Stone, the all-time assist career leader at UTEP and in
C-USA—we can’t get the Miners fandom out and about.
Historically speaking, the Don
Haskins Center averages around
10,000 fans a game. I feel that’s a
stretch because that is a number that
is weighed heavily by some great
years at the Special Events Center.
This season UTEP has averaged
a measly crowd of 8,200 per game.
That isn’t a stark contrast from last
seasons 8,700 mark, but it can be seen
in the student section. The one lone
game that I could give fans credit is
the UCF game Feb. 21 when 9,824
showed up for a Monday morning
game at 11 a.m.
Now I’ve heard all the pointless
excuses, students are too busy with
work and school, or my favorite,
UTEP is a commuter campus. I see
these excuses as nothing but that,
students should be flocking to games
even more so if they have access to
cars everyday.
It’s not like you have to walk to the
Haskins Center or better yet, its not
like the school is making you wait out
in the rain and snow to get the best
tickets possible. Students are reserved
almost four full sections (excluding
the band) at the Haskins Center, and
each student is allotted one free ticket
per game and is eligible to purchase
two guest passes. And yet we have
one percent of the student body represented at each game.

With only four games left in the
year—two of those home games—
students should embrace these last
few because the acrobatics of Culpepper and the no-look passes from
Stone will be nothing but a faded
memory by this time next year.
I don’t think students need more of
an incentive to attend, but if there is
one I can end with, this is it: Memphis
at UTEP, 1 p.m. Feb. 26, ESPN2. The
country will be watching.

Art exhibit unites UTEP students
BY LUCIA MURGUIA
Special to The Prospector
There is a diverse
student body that
walks the sidewalks
of UTEP’s campus
every day.
Some head out toward Hudspeth Hall
to their creative writing classes, while
others head out to the Classroom
Building to attend their biology labs.
Whether a student is an English major or a pre-med student, it is interesting to see how different we all are, yet,
how easily we can work together.
The UTEP Art Society along with
the Student Government Association,
two very distinct and different organizations, are joining forces to present the UTEP community with an art
exhibition that will feature students’
work.
The exhibition titled “Connected
as One” will bring together different
artists from the UTEP Art Society to
form a site specific collaborative piece
that spans many mediums. These different mediums work together across
the site to create one piece, just as different students came together to create one art exhibition.
“It’s about a group of artists that
came together to create a piece, not as
individual artists, but rather as a collaborative effort- each utilizing their
strengths,” said Adriana Onate, president of the Art Society.
The opening ceremony to commemorate the artists and their art
will take place in the SGA office,
located in 304 Union Building East
6 p.m. Feb. 24. The event is open to
everyone.
In the long run, we are all students.
We can be of different shapes, sizes,
colors and majors, we can walk into
different buildings, and learn about
different subjects, but in the end, we
all go to UTEP, we are all students,
working hard for what we believe in.
And that is something to be proud of.

WASHINGTON - Three congressmen who support legislation to end
what they say is a dangerous form of
natural gas drilling brought out two
celebrities to help argue their case Feb.
17, Academy Award nominees Mark
Ruffalo and Josh Fox.
The group is seeking oversight of
companies that practice hydraulic
fracturing, a form of drilling in which
millions of gallons of water, sand and
chemicals are injected, under high
pressure, into a well. The pressure fractures underground sedimentary rock
and enables natural gas to flow out of
the well. The process is often called
“fracking.”
Fox, an Oscar-nominated director,
called for an immediate moratorium
on hydraulic fracturing at a press conference outside the Capitol. Fox’s film
“Gasland,” which is nominated for best
documentary in this year’s Academy
Awards, documents the natural gas
drilling campaign.
“In the film, you see extreme examples of water contamination where
people can light their water on fire
right out of the tap,” Fox said.
Ruffalo, also nominated for an Oscar
for his role in “The Kids Are All Right,”
said hydraulic fracturing companies
should be able to prove that they are
not poisoning water sources.
“They know it’s impossible for us to
prove it because we don’t know what
they’re putting in the ground,” Ruffalo said. “If they refuse to tell you
what chemicals they’re putting into
the ground, then you don’t know what
you’re looking for.”

Leadership conference
Transform your world
Students particpate in the 2011 leadership conference
GREG CASTILLO / The Prospector
NASA astronaut and UTEP alumnus, Danny Olivas, speaks at a leadership conference.
BY AARON MARTINEZ
The Prospector
Distinguished professionals from a variety
of fields across the U.S. visited UTEP to help
motivate and give students advice as they
prepare to make the transition from college
to the work force.
More than 150 students attended the 2011
Student Conference for Existing and Emerging Leaders, “Transform Your World. Shape
Your Life. Shape Your Future,” Feb. 18 in
Union Building East. The conference featured
more than 35 speakers, including some from
the U.S. Navy, NASA, Hispanic College Fund,
YWCA El Paso del Norte Region and various
UTEP departments.
Danny Olivas, opening keynote speaker at
the conference, talked to students about the
path he took from being a UTEP student
to a NASA astronaut. In his speech, Olivas
stressed the importance of dedication, hard
work and following your heart.
“Follow your passions and use your talents
to develop more talents and use those talents
to help the world around you,” said Olivas,
UTEP alumnus, former NASA astronaut and
current director of engineering at Raytheon
Space and Airborne Systems. “There are no
limitations, there is a universe of possibilites.”
The second keynote speaker was Jason
Sabo, senior vice president for Public Policy
of United Ways of Texas and chief operating
officer of Frontera 501, who urged students
to stay informed of local, state and national
politics that will have an effect on them. He
motivated them to take action against the
policies that will have a devastating impact
on them.
“What we are talking about is politics, but
what we are also talking about is your lives,”
Sabo said. “The reality is that there are legislatures making decision right now that will
have a profound impact on your ability to
continue getting an education. Additionally,
these decision will have an impact on members of your family and community to get an
education.”
As part of his effort to get students actively
involved, Sabo gave the students the number
to Texas Governor Rick Perry’s office and
challenged students to call and tell the governor what they think about the current plan to
cut the budget of higher education.
“The reality is if the people of this state do
not step up and say the budget being debated
right now is them (the state) turning their
back on our kids, our families and our communities, if they do not say this then next
year there will be fewer African Americans
and Hispanics going to college in Texas,” Sabo
said. “Use that number I just gave you and
call the governor and tell him what you think
about the budget cuts. It will make a different
when all the students in this room call and
tell him what they think.”
The closing keynote speaker was David
Ciemny, former tour manager for Lady Gaga
and vice president of business development
at Jusuru International. Ciemny started his
career at the age of 16. After sneaking backstage after a Depeche Mode concert, he got
an internship to work for the special events
company that later became Live Nation.
Ciemny shared a bucket list he wrote as a
teenager that later became a list of his personal and professional achievements.
“Every two or three years I got back to this
list and I have done something else, it has
been literally a roadmap to my entire life
since I was 16. It’s about having a vision for
your own life,” Ciemny said.

Balancing act: family and academic life proves to be a challenge
BY NICOLE CHÁVEZ
The Prospector
A panel of female academic leaders addressed students on balancing
relationships and parenthood with a
professional career Feb. 18 during the
2011 Student Conference for Existing
and Emerging Leaders, “Transform
Your World. Shape Your Life. Shape
Your Future.”
During a session entitled “Studying
and Working in Intimate Partnerships
and Society: With or Without Equality
and Respect?” students listened to how
Lee Ann Westman, visiting professor of humanities and women’s studies, managed to hide her pregnancy
throughout the course of writing and
defending her dissertation to avoid
negative views that can be attached to
being a working mother.
“It’s very difficult to be taken seriously as a mother in the workplace, for this
reason many women hide their maternity,” Westman said. “I was afraid of
the consequences that would happen if
they found that I was two weeks away
from delivering.”
Westman cited a study by Forbes
magazine that found that professional
females between the age of 22 and 34
think they can be professionally and
personally successful.
“They believe that they can achieve
a balance between a successful professional life and a successful personal
life and they don’t think there is gonna
be any boundaries to achieving that,”
Westman said. “The reality is that these
women are living on a fantasy.”
For Westman, ending the negative
situation a mother may encounter in
the workplace requires changes in the
culture, like refusing to minimize commitments to children and family.
During a presentation entitled “The
Balancing Act: Parenthood, Extended
Families and Academic Life”, Irasema
Coronado, associate provost and professor of political science, shared her
journey of working through a bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree
while taking care of a daughter and
being a member of a Hispanic family.
“I was 17 when I had my daughter,
she was part of my entire academic career,” Coronado said. “I was focused, I
was determined to get a Ph.D. in political science and be a successful academic, that was the goal, so anyone or
any obstacle that got in the way, I got
rid of it.”
Coronado advised students to make
some personal sacrifices as she did.
“I missed a lot but I needed a time
to study and time to work,” Coronado
said. “I told them, no, I cannot go with
the family on the weekend. You know
how Mexican families are and there
are a lot of baptisms, birthdays and
weddings.”
Coronado suggested students create
a network of supportive individuals,
manage their time and learn how to
say no.
“If the people who surround you do
not share your goals you do not need to
hang out with them,” Coronado said.
“This is an investment on your future,
you need to set priorities.”

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act,
hydraulic fracturing operations are exempt from restrictions on injection of
fluids near drinking water sources.
Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., said
companies that say hydraulic fracking
is safe should let the Environmental
Protection Agency double-check their
assertion.
“If the chemicals they are using
aren’t seeping into people’s drinking
water,” Hinchey said, “why is the industry so afraid of a requirement that
they tell us what they are injecting into
the ground?”
Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., said the
group intends to reintroduce the
Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act. This legislation
would repeal the exemption hydraulic fracturing operations receive under the Safe Drinking Water Act and
would require oil and gas companies to
disclose the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing operations.
Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., was also
present and supports the legislation.
A block away, a separate group protested proposed cuts to water protection programs in President Barack
Obama’s 2012 budget.
Holly Shulman, the Sierra Club
press secretary, offered pedestrians
free cups of water from two containers. There was a catch: one container
was filled with what the group called
EPA-certified water and the other, she
said, contained water from “BP’s gulf.”
It was actually coffee.
The only House member to take
the challenge was Rep. Rob Andrews,
D-N.J.
Andrews said the debate over the
cuts is less about public employees and
paychecks, but more about inspecting
water systems to make sure they’re not
providing polluted water.

to tell you what
chemicals they’re

“When middle class people begin to

tap when they turn it on, I think they
see these cuts in a whole different way,”
Andrews said.
Melvin Felix is a senior journalism and politics major at
New York University. He is currently an intern with the Scripps
Howard Foundation Semester in Washington Program.

Rocha also said despite these difficult economic times and the possible
loss of funding, the top priority for
UTEP should be holding on to what
it already has.
“We want to make sure that our
representatives represent us as much
as possible and to the best of their effort, but right now what we want is to
hold on to what we have and not lose
it, especially when we know that the
budget is going to be cut,” Rocha said.
While the reduction of funds will
impact the financial resources of universities, it may also limit students’
opportunities.
“The economic conditions of the
state and the cutting of the budget
will limit students’ opportunities to
study since many will not be able to
pay for their education,” said Zaira
Flores, junior pre-nursing major.
“The increase in tuition can lead
to a decline in higher education
enrollment.”

While it is still too early to know
the exact impact the shortage of
funds will create on student enrollment and financial aid at UTEP, Vice
President for Business Affairs Cynthia Villa said the entire university
will be affected.
“Right now it’s hard to say if tuition
will change or if student enrollment
will change, we are too early in the
process to know. However, if funds
are cut, it’s may be inevitable to raise
tuition and it will affect the entire institution,” Villa said.
UTEP’s quest to become a tier-one
institution may also be decelerated.
“The shortage of money will slow
UTEP’s momentum to become a
tier-one university. Even though it
will not affect our goals and our mission, it will slow the rate at which we
achieve this status,” Villa said.
The only alternative, is to analyze
the situation critically and examining all possibilities when cutting the
funds for higher education.
“Making sure to take a close look
and being very meticulous at how we
are going to cut the funds for higher
education is essential,” state Rep.
Naomi Gonzalez said. “(We have to)
analyze the situation carefully and
see if it is in the best interest of the
state to cut funds.”

One vaccine, one shot at life
Radiohead’s
latest too
mellow for
its own good
BY AUDREY RUSSELL
The Prospector
ONE Campus Club is dedicated to saving lives
and making the issue of poverty history.
“OCC is a grassroots organization that fights poverty worldwide, but has a primary focus on Africa.
Basically, we work closely with activists and politicians to get them to push votes in our favor so that
vaccines get where they need to go,” said Maegan
Ramirez, president of the organization.
To educate students about poverty in the world,
OCC will screen two documentaries, “Vaccines:
An Injection of Hope” and “Vaccines: A Cure for
Poverty,” which tell the stories of those who needed
a simple helping hand. The films’ purpose are to
spread awareness about common preventable diseases that can be stopped by vaccines.
According to the John Hopkins Public Health
journal, diarrhea and pneumonia kill more children in Africa than any other disease. The cure is
readily available through vaccination, but voices are
needed in order to send help.
After the screenings individuals can sign a petition to get these vaccines to families.
“I hope that they come out from watching these
documentaries more educated about the world
around them, and realize how fortunate we all are,”
Ramirez said. “We can use our good fortune to benefit others and hopefully more students will join us
and fight the good fight alongside us. I hope they
realize they have the power to do a tremendous
amount of good in the world.”
The campus organization has put together the
event to reach their goal of getting state and national representatives to send vaccines to Africa.
OCC does not only fight for vaccines, but strongly
promotes more active and direct involvement with
events in the community as well.
“While volunteering abroad last summer, I
opened my eyes to the unanimous truth that other
countries indeed are in great need of support and
resources. I admit I always thought all of this was
an exaggeration. After coming back from my volunteer experience, I realized that an individual can

make a big change in the world by helping out in
small ways,” said Fernanda Medina, OCC treasurer
and press secretary. “I decided to bring my little
something to the table, and hopefully, others will
follow my example and bring theirs, too. That, I believe, is what gives this organization its name.”
The organization is rooted in making a difference
throughout the world by numbers. The more people that actively provide their support through this
organization, the more help that can get to the areas
in these countries that need it the most.
“Every single individual believes that today is the
day to make a change in history. (OCC) is a call for
awareness not only in our community but globally,”
said Gina Carrion, OCC secretary. “(OCC) has
been a tool to foster and promote social and economic justice to my peers at UTEP. The two screenings we will hold are only a window to a reality we
often forget exists.”
The documentaries will be screened at 5 p.m. Feb.
23 at the Academic Services Building. For more information on how to become actively involved with
OCC visit one.org.
“It is important for the UTEP community to see
how these vaccines play an important role in saving
the lives of children. It’s giving them a literal shot at
life,” Ramirez said.

Film
Espionage and betrayal in ‘Fair Game’
BY JAZMIN SALINAS
The Prospector
The UTEP Union Cinema has a record of showing films that do not receive the praise they deserve, such as
“Fair Game,” showing Feb. 25 and 26.
“Fair Game” is based on the books
by Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson, who are portrayed by Academy
Award nominee Noami Watts and
Academy Award winner Sean Penn.
The film takes the viewer through
several cover-ups that the Bush Administration tried to sweep under the
rug.
The mistakes of the Bush Administration are nothing new to the public,
but the film captures what the media
could not: the life of a family that was
torn apart.
Director Doug Liman (“The
Bourne Identity”) does an excellent
job at keeping the suspense in the air
during the action scenes, yet contrasts
the domestic scenes with the tension
that must have been felt in the midst
of the crisis.
Watts, steps outside of her usual fictional role and gets into the responsibility of portraying a real person
in a controversy that shook Plame’s
family.
Special to The Prospector
Naomi Watt and Sean Penn star in ‘Fair Game,’ playing on Feb. 25
and 26 at the Union Cinema.
Penn looks significantly older than
he did in his 2008 appearance in
“Milk.” Despite his aged look, Penn
does not disappoint the viewers and
portrays Plame’s husband Joe Wilson.
As an undercover CIA agent, Plame
holds onto her identity and the protection of her family. Even those closest to her family, with the exception
of her parents, do not know about her
real job.
Wilson, former ambassador to
Niger, writes an op-ed piece in the
New York Times to inform that the
Bush Administration misinformed
the public about uranium sales from
Niger.
Just after the publication of the New
York Times editorial, Plame’s identity
as an undercover agent is revealed
and she is consequently dismissed
from her position at the CIA.
Liman leaves no question as to why
this film was produced, even though
it was heavily based on Plame’s memoirs. He makes sure to get the facts
out to the public plain and simple.
America may be exhausted from
viewing films about the mistakes of
the administration during the Iraqi
invasion, but “Fair Game” is not just
about uprooting the government and
its perfect record.
Many films of this nature seek to
exploit errors that would otherwise
be hush-hush, but the movie shows
the personal and deeper side of these
errors.
Liman takes a bigger step in his
film-making career by using the real
names of people involved in the scandal, such as former vice-president
Dick Cheney and his former advisor
Lewis “Scooter” Libby.
Unfortunately, the film was only released in select cities and is often confused with the 1995 film also named
“Fair Game,” but no need to fear as
the Union Cinema will not have Cindy Crawford across its screen.

“The King of Limbs,” Radiohead’s
latest album, might be one of the first
true disappointments of the year.
“In Rainbows,” the last album by
the English rock band, was released
in 2007 and brought about a novel
way of getting their product to the
customers. Fans were actually able to
choose how much they wanted to pay
for the album, anywhere from nothing to a million dollars.
The band could have possibly been
scorned by that release method due
to the lack of such an option this time
around. Instead, customers have the
option of paying $9 for MP3s, $14 for
WAV and over $58 for a physical CD
and record set. However, even at the
$9, I felt a little ripped off.
Announced Feb. 14, “The King of
Limbs” came as a surprise to most
Radiohead fans because it was going to be released in only five days.
On Feb. 18, fans found that the band
released it a day early, but the largest surprise was that the eight-track
album feels boring.
The problem with this record lies
with the tone of the album. Lead
singer Thom Yorke sounds like he
whines throughout the entire album. Even at its remarkably short
run-time of 37 minutes, it felt like
it droned on forever. It makes “In
Rainbows,” an album that some fans
had a similar problem with, feel like
something Muse would have made
by comparison.
The techno-synth sound of the
music also does the album no favors.
At times, the songs sounded like the
band was singing in front of elevator
muzak. Apart from the tracks “Lotus
Flower” and “Codex,” tracks five and
six respectively, the album threatened to put me in a coma.
It is disappointing because Radiohead is one of my favorite bands, yet
I found no song that I would want to
listen to on repeat like “Nude” from
“In Rainbows” or “Creep” from “Pablo Honey,” their album from 1993. I
plan to listen to “The King of Limbs”
many more times, to see if maybe I
might have missed something or to
find the genius in this album that
is so easily realized in their other
projects.
With “In Rainbows,” Radiohead
became a band that seemed like a
compound of the schools of rock,
pop and techno. They were not a
band that just anyone could pick up
and listen to, unless you understood
the music tropes that went along
with those genres.
With “The King of Limbs,” they became a band to listen to help put you
to sleep.
Track(s) to listen to: Lotus Flower,
Codex.

Shooting woes end Miners home streak
BY SAL GUERRERO
The Prospector
When the originally scheduled
contest between UCF and UTEP was
postponed Feb. 2 due to inclement
weather, the Miners lost an opportunity to catch a Knights team that
was struggling tremendously. With
19 days to recover, a different squad
showed up on President’s Day.
It turned out to be the make-up
game that the Miners wished they
could take back.
In front of a morning crowd of
9,824, the men’s basketball team
dropped their make-up game against
the UCF Knights 74-68 Feb. 21 at the
Don Haskins Center.
Instead of facing a team that was
on a 6-game losing streak and in
turmoil, UTEP played a UCF team
in the midst of a turnaround, having
won two of their last three contests
coming into the game.
With the loss, the Miners fell into
a five-way tie in the loss column with
Southern Miss, UAB, Memphis and
Tulsa and are a half game out of first
place.
The Miners (20-7, 8-4 Conference
USA) opened the game with senior
point guard Julyan Stone stealing
the ball from UCF sophomore guard
Marcus Jordan and assisting senior
center Claude Britten for the dunk.
That should have been key for UTEP,
swinging the momentum in their direction, but from that point on the
Miners were on their heels the entire
game.
“I thought the (steal) was going to
help us out, but we kept resorting
back,” Stone said. “We were taking
steps backwards. We have to look at
ourselves in the mirror, everyone has
to look in the mirror and just make
some self-observations. As far as us
as a team, we are terrible.”
UCF (17-9, 4-9 C-USA) shot the
ball with ease in the first half going
16-for-24 from the field, shooting
66.7 percent. Their three ball was the
dagger for the team shooting 6-of11 from behind the arc. Jordan and
junior guard A.J Rompza hit two
3-pointers apiece. Rompza’s three at
the 9-minute mark in the first gave
UCF a 22-17 lead.
“I thought they shot it exceedingly
well in the first half,” head coach Tim
Floyd said. “This could be a great
awaking for our team that you just
don’t show up for a game and rely on
a crowd to get you over the top.”
UTEP went 10-for-30 from the
field in the first half, shooting 33.3
percent. Senior guard Randy Culpepper was the primary catalyst
keeping the Miners in the game. He

UTEP humbled by Houston Baptist
BY KRISTOPHER RIVERA
The Prospector
BOB CORRAL / The Prospector
The Miners went 1-2 in their first three game home series of the year against Houston Baptist at the
Helen of Troy Softball Complex.
With an opportunity to go over
.500, UTEP softball experienced some
growing pains when they lost on their
home field.
The relative inexperience of the Miners showed in the second homestand of
the season as the Houston Baptist Huskies were able to take advantage and
take the series by winning two out of
three games at the Helen of Troy Softball Complex Feb. 19-20.
UTEP (4-5) opened the first game of
the series with a tough loss 10-2, but
responded in the second game of their
doubleheader Feb. 19 by burying the
Huskies in the capper with a score of
10-1. With hopes of winning the rubber game, the Miners came out flat,
could not come back from the early
deficit and fell in the finale 6-3.
Houston Baptist (4-4) got out to
a fast start, scoring two runs in the
opening inning on three hits courtesy
of a home run by outfield Callie Herrington. UTEP trimmed the deficit to
2-1 in the bottom half of the inning as
Kayleigh Walts hit a one-out double to
bring home Chelsea Troupe, but could
not add to that score as Walts was
stranded at second base.
The Huskies added two more runs
in the second inning on an RBI double
by Jaymie Heimel and later scored on a
run-scoring single by Daniella Rodarte
to take a 4-1 lead. Houston Baptist then
added another run in the third after a
home run to right field by Mollie Mlcak to pad their lead to four runs.
After another Houston Baptist run
in the top of the sixth inning, the Miners responded in the bottom half as Kia
Moore blasted a 2-run homer over the
right field wall, scoring Kayla Black in
the process to trim the deficit to 6-3.
In the seventh inning, UTEP managed
to put the tying run at the plate with
runners on first and second and one
out, but infielder Samantha Alvillar
grounded into a 4-3-6 double play to
end the rally and the game.
“When you let them put up a 6-spot
it’s a tough hole to dig yourself out of.
Our pitchers have to do better,” cohead coach Kathleen Rodriguez said.
Recognizing the youth within the
team, Rodriguez knows that she has to
be patient.
“The speed of the game is (like) night
and day compared to anything else
they have ever done in the past. We are
going to take our licks for a while until
we figure it out, but by the time it’s all
said and done, we’re going to be pretty
darn good. It’s just a matter of them
catching up,” Rodriguez said. “Every
day at practice we’re fundamental. I’m
looking forward to being great and just
taking this one game at a time.”

had 11 points in the first half, shooting 5-of-9 from the floor.
“Randy really came to play, he
came with extraordinary effort,”
Floyd said. “The first possession we
got a pick and steal from Jordan. I
think they thought it was going to be
easy from that point on.”
The Knights closed out the first
half on the shooting effort of P.J.
Gaynor, who hit a 3-pointer with
THE PROSPECTOR

30 seconds left, giving UCF a 39-23
lead. Gaynor finished the game with
10 points, while shooting 80 percent
from the floor.
“We talk about Gaynor being a guy
that could really play and I thought
he played well,” Floyd said. “His first
three shots, he counted the seams
on the ball and knocked them down
from 15 to 16 feet.”
UTEP came into the second half
shooting, but they still could not
find their rhythm due to fouls and a
lack of rebounding. The Miners were
outrebounded by the Knights 36-30,
but the Knights had a total of 26 defensive rebounds, with 16 coming in
the first half.
“When your teams get their head
up, let them hang around and their
patient, they’ll make you pay,” Floyd
said. “The easiest thing in the world
is to guard the 3-point line and we
didn’t do that. I didn’t like not rebounding the ball off missed free
throws…they’d miss free throws and
get them back and make us pay in
the back end.”
BOB CORRAL / The Prospector
Disappointed with the loss,
the team came off the field
thinking about the adjustments
that need to be made.
“We work hard at practice.
It’s just sometimes we have it
and sometimes we don’t and
that’s something we definitely
have to work on,” Moore said.
“We have to learn how to be
consistent with our hitting.”
Freshman pitcher Laura
Ramos struggled early in the
game to keep the Huskies off
the bases, allowing 3 runs on 4
hits in just 1 inning of action.
“I guess they saw too much
of me yesterday. Maybe my
spins weren’t working as well,”
Ramos said. “It was an off day,
they were hitting me and that’s
all there is to it.”
While the Miners had mixed
results over the weekend, the
team is hoping that the growing pains that are going on will
eventually pay dividends on the
field as the season progresses.
“It’s been tough but we’re getting there and working really
hard in practice, making sure
that everything is right and
that we hit our spot,” Ramos
said.
Forward Jeremy Williams scored 15 points in the 74-68 loss to
UCF Feb. 21.

Culpepper scores 33 in win over Houston
BY WILLIAM VEGA
The Prospector
With the Houston Cougars ready to
take the home-court advantage from
the Miners, senior guard Randy Culpepper took the game into his own
hands Feb. 19 leading UTEP to a 7664 win.
“I thought we were really efficient
tonight because of the way Randy
scored it,” head coach Tim Floyd said.
“I thought the shots he took were in
rhythm, some of them were backdoor cuts. His percentage of 3-pointers attempted versus shots-attempted
was where it was supposed to be. He’s
got a good middle-range game and I
thought he utilized it tonight.”
Culpepper scored 30-plus points
for the ninth-time in his UTEP career, finishing with 33 on 9-for-13
from the field and 3-for-5 from beyond the perimeter. Culpepper went
6-for-7 from the field in the first half
including nine-consecutive points in
a span of two minutes leading to a 3628 Miner lead at the end of the first.
“These past few games I’ve been
struggling. I even had to call my mom
and my family and vent to them,” Culpepper said. “She just told me to go
out there and do what I do. I’ve been
coming an hour before and after practice putting up shots. I told my teammates I was in the lab so tonight was
going to be ugly.”
The Miners defense won the firsthalf for them, holding the Cougars
to 32–percent shooting. But Houston
was able to stay close in the first 20
minutes, displaying aggressive offensive rebounding. The Cougars
outrebounded the Miners 8-to-3 on
the offensive glass during the first
10 minutes. Freshman forward John
Bohannon picked up his second foul
six-minutes into the game contributing to the absent low-post presence.
But from that point, the Miners’
front court stepped up, outrebounding the Cougars 11-5 the rest of the
the first-half.
“We should always want to play
with that intensity especially at
home,” Bohannon said. “We knew
Houston was not going to come here
and lay down so we had to come out
and defend our home-court.”
Houston came into the Don
Haskins Center with the upset-minded mentality chipping into the lead by
forcing six turnovers. Houston cut the
lead to three with 3:36 left in the firsthalf off an Alandise Harris 3-pointer.
The two starting forwards Harris and
Maurice McNeil combined for 17 of
the Cougars first-half points.
“We tried to double low-post catches and try to play back side. But when
(Harris and McNeil) did catch it, we
tried to get it out of their hands. Some
of the shots McNeil took were some
of the shots we wanted to take. But
they’re really active guys.”
And that’s when Culpepper took
control. The senior hit a pair of driving lay-ups, a 3-pointer, and two free
throws for nine-consecutive team
points.
Houston made their attempts to get
back in the game during the secondhalf trimming a 13-point UTEP lead
into five with just under six-minutes
to play. But UTEP’s veterans showed
they learned from their recent loss to
Southern Miss in which they gave up
a 13-point lead to loss by that amount.
“We knew we had to come here and
get this win,” Culpepper said. “We
know we have to put (losses) behind
us because we have a quick turnaround. We’re just going to come out
here and do what we do.”
The Miners defense has been part
their focus this season. Their defense
forced Houston into 18 turnovers and
held the Cougars to 26-percent threepoint shooting en route to a 13-point
lead. UTEP showed their improvements from the line going 21-for23 for the game including a perfect
8-for-8 in the first-half.

Next stop on the road: East Carolina
BY WILLIAM VEGA
The Prospector
The Miners will have to show how
quickly they can regain their composure when they take on the East
Carolina Pirates two days after falling to UCF Feb. 21.
“We have to regroup and see if
we can get it right,” said head coach
Tim Floyd.
68&&(66
UTEP has been successful this
season when coming off a loss. The
Miners have rebounded from their
six-previous losses by defeating all
of the following teams. UTEP has
also beat four of the six teams by
double digits while holding those
opponents to 61.3 points per outing.
On Feb. 21, senior guard Randy
Culpepper fell 14-points shy of
matching his 39-point output dur-
(/3$62
&203(7,7,21
%5$,167250,1*
ing his 2010 regular season meeting
with UCF but may have an easier
time finding the basket against the
Pirates. Culpepper scored a careerhigh of 45 points against East Carolina Feb. 13 in a 100-76 victory that
was part of the Miners 16-game win
streak last year.
East Carolina has not fared well
with the top-scorers in C-USA
this season. The Pirates gave up 21
points to Tulsa’s senior guard Justin
Hurtt Feb. 16 and 32 to Southern
Miss’ senior forward Gary Flowers
Feb. 19, the top two C-USA scoring
leaders.
Both games have been part of
East Carolina’s current three-game
losing streak in which they have
allowed 78.7 points the last three
games while only scoring 62. Floyd’s
main concern will be his lack of
height—a fall back UTEP has had to
deal with by getting outrebounded
36-30 against UCF and allowing
their opponents a conference-high
36 rebounds.
“They have a couple of big guys
in there that can rebound it and
score on the block,” Floyd said. “It’s
a talented team by all accounts. It’s
a team that fits (East Carolina head
coach) Jeff Lebo because of his style
of play. This team fits his style with
guys that can hit shots.”

ing more than 40 percent shooting
on the team. Sherrod is twelfth in CUSA in scoring averaging 15 points
per game while hitting 39 percent of
his three-pointers attempted. Morrow leads the team in rebounding
averaging 5.3 while connecting on
53.5 percent of his field goals.
Feb. 23 will also be the final game
of the Miners three games in fivedays stretch. UTEP is 1-1 during
that span that started with a victory
over Houston at the Don Haskins
Center 76-64 Feb. 19.
“(Playing three games in five days)
shouldn’t be tough because we’ll
have to play three-games straight in
the conference tournament,” Floyd
said. “This could be the greatest
thing that ever happened to us. We
may look back on this and say it’s
nothing.”
UTEP will hope to keep its stride
with only two weeks left in the season but are looking to play better
compared to how they have been
since Jan. 29. The Miners have gone
3-3 in their last six games, which
have seen deficits by as much as 19
to UCF Feb. 21, a 13-point lead that
was erased in a 64-51 loss to Southern Miss Feb. 16, and first-half deficits against Tulsa Jan. 29, Rice Feb. 5
and SMU Feb. 12.
“We’re looking to win a game.
We’ve still yet to prove anything in
this conference,” senior guard Julyan Stone said. “After the (UCF) loss,
hopefully our guys understand that
we have to be ready to play.”
Both teams enter the contest Feb.
23 in a tight Conference USA race
with East Carolina (13-13, 5-7 CUSA) sitting just three games back
of UTEP (20-7, 8-4 C-USA) with
only four games left in both team’s
seasons.
