Eight members of the New Mexico State University DanceSport met their local community star partners on Nov. 15 and are preparing for the secondannual Look Who’s Dancing! competition. Look Who’s Dancing! committee member Janet Clements said the idea for the Look Who’s Dancing! competition came from the Big Band Dance Club. “We wanted to put on a competition like ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and involve community leaders,” Clements said. Clements said instead of planning on raising money for the Big Band Dance Club, she and her husband Dave went to the director of the NMSU DanceSport team, Eric Fierro. “We wanted the DanceSport team to be involved with choreography, training, and dancing with the community leaders,” Clements said. “And in return, the money raised would go to DanceSport.” Clements said the 2009 competition raised more than $12,000 for the DanceSport team, which helped the team attend a competition at Stanford University. “Before, they would take an old van to competitions,” Clements said. “But with the fundraiser contribution, they were able to !"#$ Clements said the response to the competition was more enthusiastic than the committee had anticipated. “We didn’t know if we’d have %&&'()*(+)',*'-++',.)'/0*'12345)'Theatre,” Clements said. “But then two weeks before the per6*27348)9' :)' 2)3+0;)5' ,.)' /0*'Grande [Theatre] wouldn’t be big enough.” Clements said over 2,070 people attended the event to see District Attorney Susana Martinez win the competition. “It was so exciting to see the families and kids involved,” Clements said. “It’s a great event.” According to an event press release, participants will compete

The audience will also be able to buy tokens to vote for their favorite competitors in the People’s Choice category in the 2010 competition. Fierro said the event will attempt to get local community leaders involved with the community. “I’m looking forward to getting various leaders to try something they aren’t comfortable with,” Fierro said. Fierro said the pairs set up practice times, but usually rehearse for 510 hours a week. “Everyone had a blast last year, so we’re all looking forward to this year,” Fierro said. “The committee found the people to invite to partner with the DanceSport team members,” Clements said. “The response has been really great.” Fierro said the 2010 event will

Walker said he is looking for players to bolster the Aggie ranks at quarterback, offensive line, and wide receiving. “We’re basically building the team from scrap,” Walker said. NMSU has 17 scholarships to offer potential players. Walker said he wishes he had 25 scholarships and his staff must be strategic when scouting talent. “It’s like going into the grocery store and needing lots of groceries, but you only have twenty dollars,” Walker said.

the Aggies dropped both basketball games to the Lobos, the rivalry is still strong. “The rivalry is huge for us,” UNM fan Dani Willems said. “[The basketball game] makes up for how we did in football.” Fans on both sides believe the basketball games evened the rivalry scales. “The rivalry is always there,” Downs said. “We won football, they won basketball.”
The New Mexico State University men’s basketball team lost 5875 to UNM dropping the Aggies’ overall record to 25.
