How do you engrave 2,000 space invaders on the face of a two-inch wooden cube? With lasers, of course.
Apparently this really happened: During World War II, pinball machines in family restaurants exhorted players to “Kill The Jap.” How ugly, indeed. The Que Feo exhibit is a collection of artwork previously displayed at the 105 Art Gallery and created by artists’ collective Vistas Latinas.
Don’t try to read the whole course catalogue – it’s waaaayyyyy too long, and you’ll get bogged down in a lot of classes with names like “Radiation Oncology Physics” and “ST: NSMS GAANN.” Instead, let the Daily Lobo guide you through our entirely unscientific survey of the best classes at UNM.
William Shakespeare’s stories, indeed, are universal in any age. Thus it’s no surprise why their settings are constantly being shifted to fill the axiom of “giving the people what they want in a way they don’t expect.” And maybe those people will even learn something about it.

Today, the battle will be fought in SUB Ballroom B. Students in the SUB will participate in Bongo Ball Mania, a war game requiring participants to take cover behind large shields to avoid being shot by their fellow students. “Bongo Ball is a combination of paintball, laser tag and playing around with Nerf guns, more or less,” said Ryan Wooley, the marketing director for Student Special Events. Bongo Ball YouTube videos show a vicious war-simulation game where young men and women prepare for a military career by pretending to be deep in the middle of live-fire combat.
