The UNM Lobos Men’s Ice Hockey Team enjoyed a successful fall semester with 13 wins, four losses and one overtime loss. They looked to carry that momentum into the new year at the annual Nuclear Shootout College Hockey Tournament in Los Alamos, New Mexico, from Jan. 16-18. They finished the weekend with a 8-1 win over the University of California, Los Angeles, a 9-1 win over California State University, Northridge and a 3-2 win over Southern Methodist University. They will try and keep the four game win streak alive this weekend in Flagstaff as they face Northern Arizona University, and they will play their last home games of the season on Jan. 30 and 31 against the University of Wyoming before heading to the playoffs.

PHOTO STORY: Protesters gather at UNM bookstore after Minneapolis woman killed by ICE agent
January 10Under a shower of hail and thunderstorms, over 100 people gathered at the University of New Mexico Bookstore Thursday evening for a vigil and protest after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good through her car window in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday, Jan. 7. Protesters carried handmade signs, chanted against ICE and commemorated Good’s life during the vigil. Good was a wife, mother, poet and legal observer of federal actions in the city, living with her six-year old son and wife in Minneapolis, according to CBS News. Bystander video shows an ICE agent grab Good’s car door handle before another agent — identified as Jonathan Ross — fired shots from close range through her car window as she began to turn right, according to The New York Times. President Donald Trump told the New York Times that Good “ran over” Ross and that she was "unbelievably bad behaved.” New Mexico State Senator Harold Pope (D-23), who attended the UNM Bookstore protest, told The Daily Lobo that the Trump administration’s response to the shooting was “gaslighting.” “Even if I didn't see it on the video, even if someone is breaking the law or doing anything, it doesn't mean you murder them, and so it's just disgusting that we've gone to this point,” Pope said. Adam Vaagen was one of several community members who stood in the rain puddles in support of the protest. “I'm really proud of everyone here. I'm really grateful for the amount of people that are here and it's inspiring,” Vaagen said. Paloma Chapa is the multimedia editor for the Daily Lobo.

PHOTO STORY: Best Winter Study Spots on Campus
December 1As the leaves keep falling off the trees, and each morning gets ever so slightly colder, winter slowly hits the University of New Mexico campus. Students begin to wear heavier clothes and begin to stay indoors more. Regardless of the temperature outside, this doesn’t stop the studying students have to do, begging the question: What are the best winter study spots on campus? Everyone has their own taste, but there are some spots that just cannot be beat. Zimmerman Library’s west-wing is great for anyone who wants to lock-in in silence while study spots near the Adobe Creative Commons for anyone wanting to study in groups. But there isn’t just Zimmerman, the Student Resource Center Apartments second level and Dane Smith has spots for a break during classes and George Pearl Hall has small classrooms available when not in use.
