BP spill steals cultural heritage from fishermen
During the Daily Lobo’s three-week break, I grabbed a couple cameras and my notebook and headed down to the Gulf Coast to do a multimedia project on the oil spill (as well as a print piece for another Albuquerque publication). Three friends and I drove the 20-plus hours to Grand Isle, La., one of the hardest-hit coastal towns. The town has only one road, and it’s lined with dozens of houses on stilts, which help to protect the island’s 1,500 residents during hurricane season. AUG 16

GPSA candidate reveals campaign fund sources
GPSA Presidential Candidate Martin Gutierrez has received $500 in campaign donations so far, according to data he posted on his website Tuesday evening. Gutierrez posted the information more than 24 hours after the GPSA council passed a resolution encouraging candidates to submit a list of campaign contributions and expenses.

She woke up around 6 a.m., snapped on her fanny pack and when she reached for the cabinet to make a bowl of oatmeal, promptly died, slumped over her walker. Inside the fanny pack were three pictures of her favorite dogs, several revoked driver’s licenses (she was legally blind) and a taped-up card, its lamination peeling at the corners. “My body has been donated to the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Albuquerque, New Mexico,” the card reads.

Regents weigh hike in student fees
Student fees look, once again, like they’re going to increase by $10.10 to a total of $456.91 next year in order to fund three organizations and a Queer Resource Center. The groups and center were set to losing funding after Cheo Torres, vice president of Student Affairs, asked the Board of Regents not to increase student fees, a suggestion that conflicted with the Student Fee Review Board’s recommendation of a $10.10 increase in February. Torres rescinded the recommendation in a memo addressed to Provost Suzanne Ortega on Thursday. APR 1
