The Daily Lobo is starting a series about the creative ways UNM students, staff and faculty are cutting back on spending in light of tighter budgets. The series, called “Desperate Times,” will rely on Daily Lobo readers who have discovered these innovative coping strategies in their own departments or offices. The Daily Lobo will also seek out these stories in hope of highlighting hidden solutions to complex problems. In essence, we feel this series is crucial at this time both to underscore the severity of the economic climate and champion the innovation that can only be provided by UNM scholars and experts. If you have a story idea for “Desperate Times,” please e-mail News@DailyLobo.com or EditorinChief@DailyLobo.com.
On July 31, head football coach Mike Locksley approached Daily Lobo sports editor Ryan Tomari at Uptown Sports Bar. Locksley disagreed with the stance Tomari took in a column where he said the UNM football program was in “shambles.”

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.

We’ve opened up our website to allow immediate feedback on our content, to foster dialogue and encourage healthy discussion on relevant issues.
GPSA President Lissa Knudsen was re-elected to her second term as president. She received more than 50 percent of the vote, and her opponent, Martin Gutierrez, got almost 43 percent.

GPSA President Lissa Knudsen was re-elected to her second term as GPSA president. She received more than 50 percent of the vote, and her opponent, Martin Gutierrez, got almost 43 percent. All amendments also on the ballot passed by margins of at least 67 percent.
Today the polls close for the GPSA presidential election, but Council Chair Danny Hernandez wants to call the whole thing off. Hernandez cited three errors that occurred throughout the election process as reason to scrap the results and start anew. “There have been too many irregularities in this election,” he said in an e-mail.
GPSA Presidential Candidate Martin Gutierrez has received $500 in campaign donations so far, according to data he posted on his website Tuesday evening.
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.
GPSA presidential candidate Martin Gutierrez ignored the GPSA council’s recommendation to disclose all of his campaign funding and expenses by Monday at 5 p.m. On Sunday evening, Gutierrez said GPSA should be focusing on issues that matter to students, such as tuition — not where campaign funds are coming from or how much he is spending.
The Albuquerque Metro Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the man who stabbed a UNM student on campus Feb. 15.
ASUNM presidential candidate Lazaro “Laz” Cardenas received twice the number of student organization endorsements than his opponent. Ten organizations including three residence hall community associations, the Residence Hall Association and assorted other groups endorsed Cardenas.

Representatives from the Student Bar Association and GPSA met Friday in a last-ditch effort to reconcile the organizations’ differences. However, the SBA, which represents UNM’s roughly 350 law students, is still planning to secede from the graduate student governing body, said GPSA Council Chair Danny Hernandez. The Board of Regents gets the final say on whether the law school secedes.
The victim of the Feb. 15 stabbing on campus has a pretty good idea what she was thinking right after a stranger plunged a knife into her neck. “How do you live through something like this? How do you get stabbed in the neck? How do you live through this? What if I don’t?” she said. The UNM student and employee then picked herself up off the sidewalk near the Anthropology Building and walked into her music appreciation class. She asked her classmates for help, and she said they saved her life.
If you’ve ever considered making a short jaunt to Iran for summer break, Diego Mathieu has a story that’ll change your mind.
The Board of Regents voted to increase tuition and fees by $405, and $64 of that increase is not covered by the NM Lottery Scholarship. The regents have until April 30 to tweak the increase, but if it stands, tuition and fees will be about $5,505 per undergraduate student per semester. Graduate students will face an increase to $6,040.
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.
