The University put students to work to make campus more sustainable. A Community and Regional Planning class was employed to research practical ways to increase sustainability, instructor Bill Fleming said.
Editor, Why do some people see increased participation as a problem? More participation leads to more competition for funds. Certain individuals have a comparative advantage over others applying for the three GPSA grant awards. These individuals understand the process, know what to include in an application and what style of writing works best.
Editor, College is often promoted as a chance to shine as an individual. However, when the University itself tends to promote an action by following the lead of others, one cannot help but be discouraged. There have been a few such actions over the years, but with the proposal of a campuswide smoking ban, I am afraid UNM has reached a new level of the illogical.
The Guild Cinema will not be punished by the city for hosting a pornography festival over the weekend. Albuquerque's Zoning Enforcement Office issued a notice of violation Monday to the theater after its three-day Pornotopia festival, said Bob White, city attorney.

Editor, As a student, I know most of us do not have a lot of extra cash lying around, but we still manage to buy holiday gifts for family and friends. I would like to encourage people to think about alternative forms of giving this year. Most of us really don't need anymore stuff, and there are a lot of organizations that help families locally, nationally and internationally that lack basic amenities such as food and clean water.
A meeting today will decide whether the Guild Cinema's owners will face repercussions for holding a pornography film festival over the weekend. Peter Conheim and Keif Henley received a letter Friday saying the Pornotopia festival violates Albuquerque's zoning laws.
Editor, I am writing about lack of vegetarian food options at the SUB. Every day, many students venture through the University in search of food and nourishment. The place many like to come to eat, study and mingle is the SUB. Although there are many restaurants with multiple options to choose from, I find it difficult to eat there sometimes because of the lack of vegetarian options.
Editor, The University has tried to implement a smoking ban on campus but failed. The issue is yet to be revisited. Students, staff and organizations on campus should support a proposal for designated smoking areas in an effort to keep everybody happy while moving toward a smoke-free campus.
Editor, As a member in good standing among the indigenous Chicano community in Albuquerque, as a veteran and as a respected visual artist and poet, I write to you to express my horror at the insidious tactics being used by the National Guard to recruit young people.

Staff Report For the second straight year, the UNM football team will go to the New Mexico Bowl. The Lobos will take on Western Athletic Conference opponent Nevada on Dec. 22 at University Stadium.

GPSA struggled to get through its agenda at Saturday's meeting when a petition was presented to recall Joseph Garcia, the organization's president. There was heated discussion and a lot of back-and-forth between members who support Garcia and those who say he has not done his job.
Editor, The Ronald McDonald House Charities has done amazing work by helping ill children recover since 1974. It has helped thousands of children get through their illnesses by footing their medical bills and giving their families a place to stay while their children are at the hospital.
Even though the UNM football team is unsure of its postseason fate, the team is confident of its postseason chances. "It's been an outstanding year for us," Athletics Director Paul Krebs said. "We don't think our football season is over. We feel very good about the fact, and there is a very high probability that we will be in a bowl game."
Recent disagreement within GPSA comes down to one thing: money. The accusations that I have mishandled graduate student fees are unfounded. The recent arguments in GPSA have been focused on the perceived "exorbitant" student fees each student pays in order to hire a three-quarter-time staff person. The exuberant fee in question here is $2, something that most, if not all, graduate students would call spare change in relation to what each student paid in student fees this year.
