more accessible to help out students, too,” Rodriguez said, adding that he and Jones are on student schedules as well. 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.”

Sarah Sanchez, a sophomore in communications disorders, said she has never been hit by a moving vehicle on campus, but has had several near misses with bikes. “People who ride their bikes [on campus] are reckless, and expect everybody else to get out of their way,” Sanchez said. “They need to make a special place where bikes can go.” Human nutrition sophomore Joe Cecava said he rides his bike on campus almost every day and has never been involved in an accident with a pedestrian or an­other vehicle.

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

derachieved with a defense that

gives up more than 33 points

per game.

“Hawaii’s offense is pretty ex­

plosive,” head football coach De­

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,

Fils said the pass rush will be

key this week in slowing down

the Hawaii passing game.

“We can’t be too concerned

with containing [Moniz] be­

cause that messes up the pass

rush,” Fils said.

For the Aggies, offense has

been a disaster all year long.

After nine games, Walker

announced Tuesday that Jeff

Fleming will be the starting

quarterback for the rest of the

year.

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.

“During the bye week, we de­

cided to go back to some of the

old things we did well and are

looking to do some of the new

things we’ve been doing well,”

Walker said.

The Aggies have consistently

#:&,(8' 0(114' ;,(' <"27)(18=' 1(8'by running back Seth Smith, is

averaging just over 138 yards

per game. Hawaii averages 111.

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

ball school.”

ll it takes are two letters: e. l. Google knows, of course, I’m refer­ring to women’s

soccer defender Elizabeth Lam­bert, the newest national media starlet of the University of New Mexico. 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

gratulated Lambert, they added 0%1'*"'*0%'"2,3(4$'5**436'"2'*0%'Show’s “Dick Hall of Fame.” And let’s not forget the power of the Web. A video spotlighting Lam­bert’s, er, aggressiveness is posted on Youtube and boasts more than 2 million views – not to mention several other You­tube videos of the match – each -(*0'+(#)(,34)*'7(%-'3"8)*+9' Facebook pages have been created idolizing and demon­izing Lambert. A fan page titled “GO ELIZABETH LAMBERT!” has more than 3,000 fans. 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.”
