In a tenure that started with controversy and coaching changes, UNM Athletics Director Paul Krebs had some positive news Thursday. The UNM athletics program will receive its biggest financial boost from a single sponsor, the University announced. Route 66 Casino Hotel will contribute $2.
Editor, I find Andres Saenz's letter published in Tuesday's Daily Lobo amusing. The attitude he expresses clearly reveals his level of ignorance and bigotry. First of all, he didn't really address Wayne Silva's point at all, which was that it's really OK for children to know about sex - not, as Saenz would have people believe, that children ought to have promiscuous sex when they're ready even at a really young age.
If the UNM women's basketball team's previous meeting with TCU is any indication, the Lobos are in for a battle Sunday. UNM dropped a 57-54 heartbreaker to TCU in The Pit on Jan. 15. "It was such a close game," senior forward Dionne Marsh said. "They came out and beat us in the first half pretty bad, and we were unable to recover.
Editor, In Inuktitut, a language spoken in the Arctic, the Inuit translate lawyer into a man who is lying for you. Since their early contact with Western expansionism, the Inuit have understood that colonialism seeks its justification in a self-assisting mendacity that overflows with embellished lies.
Lobo guard Brandi Kimble said she doesn't like to wear pink, but she was willing to don it Wednesday night to help fight breast cancer. The team participated in the nationwide Think Pink initiative to raise awareness and money to fight the disease during their game against San Diego State at The Pit.
Editor, "You're a problem for other people if you don't have a mobile phone," said James Katz, Rutgers University professor, in a recent program aired on National Public Radio. Katz examines the social impact of cell phones. I'm one of those fuddy-duddy college English teacher types who has no cell phone and who rides his ancient and creaking bicycle at snail's pace across the UNM campus in all kinds of weather.
Editor, After reading a letter in response to an article concerning population growth and global warming, I feel I must respond. Firstly, the Chinese government does not take away and kill children from families that have more than one child. The policy has, however, been criticized because some people choose to give away or even perhaps kill female children in the hope that the next one will be male.
Editor, This letter is in response to the article published in the Daily Lobo on Tuesday on the BA/MD program. The article claims students in the BA/MD program are stealing away spots from other pre-medical students in science classes, specifically biology.
Roller derby began in the Great Depression, but without rules. "It was a roller derby match with teams of two people skating the equivalent of the distance from L.A. to New York," derby skater Michela Dai Zovi said.

The Greek scientist Archimedes may have died more than 2,000 years ago, but the world is still learning new things about him, said Timothy Graham, director of the Institute of Medieval Studies. On Friday and Saturday, the institute will host a free event at Woodard Hall on the Archimedes Project.
Tuesday's story "Medical program leaves some students behind" should have said additional spots in classes are created for BA/MD students.
Networking with professionals can help you find a job when you graduate. Now, you can get in touch with them without leaving your home.

Feb. 4 A UNM Police officer went to Albuquerque Institute for Math and Science when a student was found with a knife. A teacher said school officials were told the student smelled like marijuana. When school officials searched him they found a pocketknife.
The fliers for Breakin' Hearts have next year's date on them. "That's how you know it's a real hip-hop show - the dates are wrong, and everything is misspelled," organizer Cyrus Gould said. Breakin' Hearts, a hip-hop festival, will be in the SUB Ballroom on Saturday.
It may not have been the prettiest win, but the UNM women's basketball team will take it. In a contest that was close for more than 30 minutes, the Lobos pulled away late to beat San Diego State 63-54 on Wednesday at The Pit. UNM looked sloppy at times, but head coach Don Flanagan said he didn't expect a win to come easy against the Aztecs.
Editor, I must take issue with Andres Saenz's letter published in the Daily Lobo on Tuesday. I believe it is Saenz who should indeed have his facts checked. First of all, not all sex leads to having children. Many more teenagers would not have children to put up for adoption if they didn't have sex - this much is true.
Editor, This letter is in response to Peter Lynch's letter published in the Daily Lobo on Tuesday. Lynch's "humble opinion" is terribly misinformed. He suggests that the ethnic requirements of El Centro de la Raza are equivalent to those of the Ku Klux Klan or the Nazi party.
