With the start of a new NBA season, there are a few things that come to mind. Is the Eastern Conference finally seeing a power shift heading its way? And also, please God, don't put the Spurs in another Finals.
Editor, It can be argued that President David Schmidly may have the most to lose if the North Golf Course is lost to development. Schmidly received his Ph.D. in zoology. He won the Joseph Grinnell Award in 2003 that recognizes excellence in education in mammalogy.
Editor, This is a problem all over Albuquerque, but on the UNM campus, it seems to be worse. According to the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division's driver license manual, bicycle riders have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicle drivers. They must stop at traffic lights, signal their intentions and obey other traffic laws.
Editor, I am referring to the article titled "UNM gets C on sustainability exam" published in the Daily Lobo on Oct. 30. The surveys that were compiled, which ultimately gave UNM its C rating under "Administration" concerning sustainability, were never seen by myself or discussed in any of the Sustainability Task Force meetings.
Local slam poet Damien Flores won Poet of the Year for 2007. Flores, a student, was given the award by the New Mexico Hispano Entertainer's Association.
Nothing is more intriguing about "Lions for Lambs" than its timing. It seems as if Hollywood has found a theme - the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan - whose saturation in the media fatigues many. But saturation doesn't always mean the point has been driven home, and that may be what inspired Robert Redford to make this flick.
Like modern-day Captain Ahabs, members of the 2600 Club obsessively sail oceans of electronics in search of the perfect hack. Down in the lower-level lounge of the SUB, the club meets Friday evenings to exchange tricks and tips of the hacking trade.
Instructor Charles Truxillo said the Chicano Studies program won't renew his contract in the spring because of his ideological beliefs. Truxillo said he is well-known nationally as a Chicano nationalist and has been featured in books by Pat Buchanan.
Editor, This is in response to President Bush's "we're at war" speech aimed at Congress a few days ago. President Bush's obsession with his search for his ladylove "Dulce Iraqueña Aceitosa" under the guise of fighting terrorism, including the illusive Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terrorists, is similar to that of Alonso Quixano de la Mancha and his fight against "ferocious giants" - the illusive windmills - under the guise of searching for his ladylove Dulcinea del Toboso.
Editor, As a UNM student and a member of the UNM community, I was severely disappointed to learn that the North Golf Course may soon no longer be an open space. I cannot begin to express how important the golf course is, not only to families living in the area, but to UNM students and many Albuquerque residents.
Communication is vital to maintaining relationships with other countries, a U.S. foreign diplomat said. "We like to think of diplomacy as our first line of defense," Michael Roth said. "It is a crucial thing for us to communicate to other countries what our values are and understand that as well."
Ben Hurula Freshman Jazz studies Daily Lobo: How do you like UNM so far? Ben Hurula: I like it worlds better than high school. DL: What do you like the most about college? BH: I love that there are no restrictions like in high school, such as in Rio Rancho, we had a dress code. DL: What ...
Editor, Shay Talley's letter published in the Daily Lobo on Monday, while lucid, is also demented. While sporting logical fallacies - I smell three right off the bat - Talley's argument suffers mostly from its internal contradictions. Did you spot them? For instance, the question, "What do we do with the intelligent design we observe in nature?" can be answered simply: Appeal to the authority.
UNM President David Schmidly got booed at a meeting Sunday when he showed an artist's rendition of a retirement community that could be built on the North Golf Course. About 200 people attended the meeting at the law school to discuss possible development of the course with Schmidly and other UNM administrators.
The North Golf Course is a misnomer as it hides more than it reveals. While golfers use it, the stretch is also a crucial place for community members - be it for walking their dogs, jogging or to just have neighborhood picnics. But all this may change if the Board of Regents has its way.
The UNM volleyball team lost two matches this weekend, dropping the Lobos to sixth place in Mountain West Conference standings. An error-plagued UNM lost to BYU 28-30, 26-30 and 22-30 on Friday. It then fell to Utah 28-30, 30-25, 24-30, and 24-30 on Saturday at Johnson Gym.
Editor, Does the prospect of endless war bother anyone else but me? I remember the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks as vividly as anyone else. I watched the whole thing unfold live on television. I remember the talk of war followed shortly after by a full-fledged invasion.
State Treasurer James Lewis said government officials must work for the public, not themselves. "As a public servant, it's not I. It's not you and me. It's us," he said. "If you have the I or the me at the forefront, that's a problem."
