Students with disabilities have higher costs of attendance and, in fact, have very few reliable support services at UNM.
After years of trying to find a way to preserve the legacy of a deceased professor, the University finalized a deal to sell the Hibben House on Monday. The Hibben House, at 3005 Campus Blvd. N.E., was once home to Frank Hibben, an anthropology professor and big game hunter who died in 2002.

Editor, As graduate and professional students and UNM community members, we would like to address statements made earlier in the Daily Lobo that GPSA has recently given too much attention to and been too politically engaged with world events and issues of diversity, equity and inclusion at UNM.
Editor, I was pleased to read Amy K. Coplen's letter in Tuesday's Daily Lobo. The scam run by the packaged water industry selling our municipality supplied water back to us at outrageous markups is indeed egregious. On one significant point, though, I differ with Coplen - I think water should be a commodity.
Taking an online survey can help Parking and Transportation Services improve its operations. "We take these, compile the answers and look at areas where we can improve," said Clovis Acosta, director of the department.

Editor, This letter is to inform graduate and professional students about a petition to recall the GPSA President Joseph Garcia and the rationale behind it. First, I would like to state that this is not a personal attack on Garcia. As GPSA president, he is responsible to the electorate.

Site users have to match up the definition to words such as "petulant," "inculpate" and "prurience."
Editor, I spent 1,200 hours working on Rep. Tom Udall's 1998 campaign for Congress and, like many others, voted to elect Udall because of his integrity, his sense of justice and his outstanding work during his eight years as attorney general. I didn't expect him to take orders from whatever inflamed portion of the public had something to say on any national scale, but, rather, to exercise his carefully considered judgment on issues and on specific votes.
Editor, By 2025, two-thirds of the world's population will be without access to an adequate amount of safe, clean drinking water. Today, more than 1 billion people are already in this dire situation. As privileged Americans, we are lucky that our public water systems provide us with a seemingly endless supply of clean water, most of which is carelessly wasted.
In the last 10 days, I ordered two computer games - both were sold as "collector's editions."
Students can be Santa Claus for children from low-income families by taking an ornament from a Christmas tree in the SUB.

Editor, Have you ever been so excited about something that you had butterflies in your stomach? This is exactly how I feel when I think about Rep. Tom Udall running for the U.S. Senate. The butterflies in my stomach start to flutter, and I can't push back the excitement.
