On Wednesday, the ASUNM Senate will deliberate over its spring budget bill, which reflects the campus-wide financial strain on UNM as well as a continued trend of ASUNM and its related entities receiving the vast amount of student fees up for grabs.
Last week the Daily Lobo caught up with the recently-elected ASUNM president and vice president-elect, Noah Brooks and Sally Midani, to discuss the future and what they plan to do in their respective roles.
Elections to select the next president and vice president of the Associated Students of UNM are fast approaching, and for the first time in at least 12 years, the undergraduate student population will have their pick of four candidates at each position to represent them.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The original version of this story named Hallie Brown as a current ASUNM senator, when she was an ASUNM senator in the past. She attended this meeting and made her comments in her capacity as a UNM student. The Daily Lobo apologizes for the error, and the story has since been changed to reflect.
ASUNM and GPSA hope to surpass their accomplishments from last semester by increasing student engagement, introducing new legislation and advocating to the State Legislature on UNM Day.

Editor's Note: The original version of this story stated that, for the change in ASUNM election procedure to be enacted, it must first be approved by the Board of Regents. The Daily Lobo failed to report that before reaching that point, two-thirds of voting students must approve the measure in the fall election cycle. The Daily Lobo regrets the inaccuracy, and will continue to work diligently to prevent future errors.

We have a lot on the docket for this semester, but we can’t do any of it without YOUR help. Here are the major ways you can help us get started:
In high school, Homecoming was always something many students looked forward to. The week before Homecoming was an eventful time to celebrate pride in the school and the football team, elect the Homecoming Court and, of course, participate in the Homecoming dance.
Who honestly cares about ASUNM? What do they even do (aside from wearing bright colors and harassing people twice a year asking them to vote)?
