From sweet to savory, cafe's fare pleases palettes

My brunch cravings were getting annoying until I found this fine desert eatery. I went to the Slate Street CafÇ during its Saturday brunch. Breakfast was served from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m., and lunch was available anytime after 11 a.m. I hadn't been awake for long, so I decided to go the breakfast route.

Schmidly's statements may limit provost search

Editor, On July 11, the Albuquerque Tribune ran a story of interest to all members of the UNM community. Entitled "UNM might not have to look far for provost," the story is based on an interview with UNM President David Schmidly. In this interview, the president tells the reporter that he "is leading a national search for a new provost but says he has a good candidate in his own backyard.

Q & A: Victoria Samson

In fall of 2006, the Bush administration announced plans to place an antimissile system in Central Europe for the stated purpose of addressing Middle East ballistic missile threats. Russian President Vladimir Putin has forcefully opposed the perceived intrusion into Moscow's domain, arguing that the "system is targeted against something that does not exist" and could trigger a new arms race that would threaten Eurasian stability.

Roswell's stellar dairy industry sits in the forefront of citizens' civic pride

If you were to ask most New Mexicans - or even most Americans - to name the most strange, controversial and wildly celebrated place in our entire state, chances are the name of one town would be mentioned again and again: Roswell. If you were to ask those same people exactly why Roswell has such a reputation or how it became such a mythic destination, they would probably all reply: "The milk!"

Johnson Field to get lights in time for fall semester

After seven years of lobbying and fundraising, ASUNM will soon fulfill its goal of installing lights on Johnson Field. "The lights make the University more like a university," former ASUNM President Brittany Jaeger said. "I went to about 12 other universities to see what they were doing, and of all 12, only one didn't have lights on their recreational field."

UNM-church collaboration a step in the right direction

Editor, It is unfortunate to see the negative attitudes of some community members in response to the new endowed chairperson for Roman Catholic Studies at UNM. The recent letters to the editor by Bhavana Upadhyaya and Jay Nelson do not present any valid reasons why there should not be such a faculty position at UNM.

N.M. population growth puts strain on resources

Editor, The state of New Mexico has reached a new all-time population high, and it doesn't have to deal with outrageous temperatures instigated by global warming. We have 2 million people within our borders that need proper access to water, land, food, shelter, health care and other established universal human rights.

Sports in brief

The Lobos are losing a player from the UNM men's basketball team but gaining another at a much-needed position. David Kanyinda spent his freshman season in 2006-07 playing a minimal role for the Lobos. The 6-foot-2-inch guard from Sandia High School averaged 1.5 points per game with UNM last season.

'Overlord' puts powers of evil in players' hands

Over the past 10 years, a lot of games have come out that let the player choose between being good and evil. Some of these games have been spectacularly good, such as BioWare's "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic." A few have been somewhat less spectacular, as in the case of the overhyped "Fable." Codemasters' latest release, "Overlord," gives the player a similar choice. The only difference is that it's a choice between evil and ridiculously evil.

Mayor Chávez's actions reduce rights of citizens

Editor, I'm writing to you because our University students represent our future leaders, and they should be aware of what's going on around them. Based on recent news, Mayor Chávez appears to be hell-bent on running for higher office. He has been quite busy wheeling and dealing in order to get all his ducks in line regardless of the cost to others, and his dictatorial style of management has been a great help to him in accomplishing his objectives.

Religious studies should include all faiths, traditions

Editor, Richard Wood's column on July 2 has some disturbing elements. Firstly, the fact that the percentile truth of "more than half of the state's population" being Catholic is built on a history of subversion and erasure of native spiritualities and traditions.
