Editor, While researching creationism for a philosophy course, I came across a number of counterarguments against evolutionary theory. While reading them, I realized creationism doesn't just have to argue against evolutionary theory to be considered valid, but it has to argue against most of the other fields of science as well.
Editor, The Mountain West Conference Championship cross country meet last Saturday showcased the best athletes UNM and New Mexico have to offer. Jeremy Johnson, an All-American and MWC cross country champion, is an outstanding individual. He is a great student, starting a graduate program in math this fall, and a terrific athlete.
The Spring and Fall Crawls have spawned an evil creation. Albuquerque will host the Route 666 Halloween Crawl today.
Editor, I did not want to get involved in the perpetual debate between evolution and creation, but I think the proponents of evolutionary theory are hypocritical. What gives them the right to impose evolutionary theory on their students while simultaneously demanding that creationist theory be banned from the classroom? The scientific method is clearly based on observation, and from what I've seen, all species reproduce according to their own kind.
There is a wealth of history wrapped up in porcelain. UNM's porcelain class has led to the foundation of the Arita Porcelain Association. About 30 years ago, UNM professor Jim Srubek started the class.
Editor, Like most UNM students, I received an e-mail from President David Schmidly about the upcoming vote on the UNM/CNM campus in Rio Rancho. I understand why Schmidly would want this vote - growth for UNM is a good thing to him. I was, however, amazed to see that Schmidly asked students for this positive vote.

About 500 students were evacuated from Zimmerman Library on Wednesday afternoon after a 10-inch water pipe burst and flooded the basement.

Communication, education and support are key in battling hate crimes at UNM. That's the conclusion a group of students came to after a GPSA-led discussion Monday.

Local hip-hop blended with the buttery sound of classic West Coast rap in Nob Hill on Sunday.
Elly Miksch Freshman Pre-Med Daily Lobo: How long have you been a Red Sox fan? Elly Miksch: Since I was little - like little, little. DL: Are you from Boston? EM: No. But my aunt is, and she has season tickets. That is how I started to like them, because every time we'd go (to Boston), we'd ...
The play "Seascape with Sharks and Dancer" is so well-written and well-done that actor Barney Lopez is emotionally exhausted after rehearsal.
Editor, I've been reading all the no-good-food-choices-at-the-SUB complaints and thought I'd offer some perspective before putting out a challenge. I prefer to eat well, but as with many graduate students, it's really hard for me to make the time to prepare food, because school, work, community and personal obligations consume so much time and energy.
