Members of GPSA started a petition Friday to recall their president, Joseph Garcia. They say Garcia has ignored mandates by the graduate and professional student council. But Garcia says the recall is unwarranted because he and other members of GPSA have expanded the office's role and helped a lot of students.
The Writers Guild of America's strike bears bad news and good news. Depending on the length of the strike, it'll be bad news for those addicted to television sitcoms and dramas. With an early fall strike, many of these shows may have only half of their seasons wrapped.
Editor, Joseph Garcia came to the office of the presidency to expand the scope of GPSA and increase the stature of this body. In the past, which is obvious from some posts to our Listserv, most graduate and professional students believed the only purpose of GPSA was to disperse money either to individuals in the form of travel and research grants or money to run graduate student organizations.

Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to respond to an article that recently appeared in the Daily Lobo regarding UNM's report card on sustainability. Let me start by saying that UNM is well on its way to becoming a sustainable university. Last year, the provost formed a task force on sustainability to take a comprehensive look at this issue.
The University is offering student photographers a chance to showcase their work in an online art house.
Editor, I am a Jewish member of the Middle East Peace and Justice Alliance. I recently returned from the West Bank after an eight-month stay where I lived and worked at a refugee camp and taught as a visiting professor at Al-Quds University. Representation in Dotan Kennedy's letter that appeared in the Daily Lobo on Friday appears to be an issue here.
Editor, I recently attended a presentation as part of the Jerusalem Women Speak tour in Albuquerque. Three women, each representing one of the three Abrahamic religions, demonstrated they can and do believe in peace with a single vision for co-existence among the peoples of Israel and Palestine.
Students can voice their opinions on the future of UNM's health insurance at a meeting today. The UNM Insurance Committee will give students a chance to help shape the 2008-09 student health insurance policy. The first meeting is at 1 p.m. in Room 234 of the Student Health Center.
Editor, I'm a member of the Middle East Peace and Justice Alliance that co-sponsored the Jerusalem Women Speak tour. It featured Muslim, Christian and Jewish women from Israel and Palestine talking about peace and experiences living in the Holy Land. I attended five of the events - a luncheon at a local church, an evening event, two classroom talks at UNM and an editorial meeting at the Albuquerque Journal.
A seventh straight NCAA appearance: the ultimate goal for the UNM women's basketball team this season. The Lobos finished the 2006 season at 24-9 and made it to the first round of the NCAA tournament. As the winningest coach in UNM history, head coach Don Flanagan hopes to continue the streak this year. With two exhibition games and three regular-season contests under the team's belt, Flanagan has an idea of what the Lobos need to work on for the rest of the season.
Men's soccer The UNM men's soccer team trounced San Jose State 5-1 on Sunday as the Lobos celebrated Senior Day at the UNM Soccer Complex.

After a disappointing season for the UNM men's basketball team, fans are hoping the Lobos can make a fast turnaround in 2007. UNM finished last season 15-17 overall, one of only two losing Lobo seasons in the past 24 years.
Editor, Andres Saenz thinks the Great Pyramids in Egypt were built by enslaved Israelites. I don't think so. The Great Pyramids of Giza and many others were built by the third and sixth dynasties of the Old Kingdom from 2686 B.C. to 2175 B.C. Indeed, the three Great Pyramids were built specifically between 2589 and 2496, some 700 to 600 years before the Israelites were even recognizable as a people, and they were erected by trained professionals and conscripted labor paying a type of tax.
Some called it an ugly victory. But when Lobo kicker John Sullivan's winning field goal sailed through the uprights to give UNM a 26-23 win over Colorado State on Saturday, head coach Rocky Long saw it as picture-perfect.
If there is a glaring weakness heading into the 2007-08 UNM men's basketball season, it's the lack of depth and experience in the post. And even though the Lobos recruited a couple of players with potential to fill the gap, chances are it will take some time to develop that talent.
