End of the Road
Francisco Ojeda | March 29The UNM women’s basketball team suffered a bitter disappointment Wednesday night, losing a nail-biter in the National Invitation Tournament Championship to Ohio State University 62-61 in The Pit. The Lobos lost a late lead because of some careless mistakes, and the Buckeyes made several clutch plays in the final minutes to get the victory. UNM could not get going offensively all night and helped keep OSU in the game with some untimely turnovers. The quickness of Buckeyes bothered the Lobos offensive sets. “Their pressure got to us and that was the difference,” Lobo head coach Don Flanagan said. “They got out in the passing lanes and we had way too many turnovers. The main thing was that they were too quick.” The sellout Pit crowd stood in shock as Ohio State thwarted a Lobo celebration with two long 3-pointers by tournament Most Valuable Player Jamie Lewis and four free throws.

Holocaust survivor to speak on campus
Angela Williams | March 29Author Benjamin Jacobs will tell his story about how he survived the Holocaust to UNM students tonight. Jacobs, who wrote The Dentist of Auschwitz: A Memoir, will speak on campus at 7 p.m. in Woodward Hall, room 101. Shelli Rosenfeld, Student Special Events speakers’ director, said she the speech is part of a speakers series. Rosenfeld said she chose Jacobs as one of the speakers because she thought the Holocaust was something different to talk about. She added that many students don’t know about the personal effects of it because New Mexico does not have a very large Jewish population. “It’s not a big thing out here,” she said. “But now, with the opening of the Holocaust Museum, people are becoming more aware of it.” Rosenfeld said Jacobs will talk about how his profession saved his life during in the death camps. She said because he was a dentist, the Nazis assigned him to pull the gold teeth from bodies after they had been burned, in addition to dental testing and examining.
