___LAS CRUCES - A junior at New Mexico State University died Friday after his 21st birthday celebration led to alcohol poisoning, according to the university.
___Steven Judd of El Paso, Texas, marked his birthday with other Delta Chi fraternity members late Wednesday night and early Thursday at two Las Cruces bars, police Lt. Randy Lara said.
