This year's Come Out show was more than just a masquerade. "We try to educate people," said P.J. Sedillo, MC of the show and a UNM student. "We all have masks that we need to take off and reveal. That's what the performers do. They are who they are."

After a forum Monday at African-American Student Services, President David Harris said there needs to be more meetings held to address the return of the Sigma Chi fraternity to UNM. "I'm willing to commit to some due process here," he said. "I don't have any problem with that."
Daily Lobo, I got a question about coffee intake.

Editor, In response to the question of the week about smoking in Friday's issue of the Daily Lobo, I wonder if anyone asked Alex Hansell what she thought of African-Americans, gay people, Jews, skateboarders, cyclists and people who don't speak English. I just want to know if her bigotry is limited to people who smoke, or if it's a general hatred of traits that are different from her own.
Editor, This is in response to the letter by Rachel Shreve about abortion in the Oct. 2 Daily Lobo. Speaking as a female scientist, I would like to agree that generally there is no debate that biological life begins at conception. Yet, life in the biological sense just means that a cell is able to metabolize nutrients, produce energy to grow and reproduce.
Editor, In Dean Vera Norwood's letter to the Daily Lobo on Friday, she stated that there was adequate opportunity for the public to comment on UNM's involvement with nuclear weapons and other issues brought up at the meeting where Robert Anderson was arrested.
Editor, In Thursday's Daily Lobo, student Estaban Sena wrote, "Without the continuing need for improved military technology, New Mexico would not have much else to offer the nation." The truth is that while the national laboratories support the economic welfare of some people, what they create is not beneficial to our nation in general.
It's a trend that is becoming all too familiar for the UNM football team. The Lobos made plays on defense and did enough on offense to build a 10-0 lead - then the second half started.
UNM and Albuquerque Police departments put the southwest corner of campus on lockdown Friday from about 5:30 to 9 p.m. while searching for a suspected gunman. Officers did not catch the suspect, a bald or balding 5-foot-7-inch, 170-pound Hispanic male in his 40s, said Lt. Pat Davis, UNM Police spokesman.
Editor, I am a citizen of New Mexico, so UNM is my University. I am appalled that the war planners are using my University in my state to promote genocide. I come from a long line of military people. My father was a B-17 pilot and firebombed Germany, and he came home and killed himself because he had participated in that horror.
Student Alan Takach said the balloon fiesta is more like a party than a competition for serious balloonists. "We go out to fly for fun on our own and do competitions," he said. "The balloon fiesta is more about gathering the balloonists from around the world." Takach, who is training to be a pilot, went on his first balloon ride in 2000.
by Joshua Curtis Daily Lobo Dead fish and media arts share a home at the Center for Environmental Research Informatics and Art in a renovated building that used to be the bookstore. The building houses art facilities and biological research labs. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was Sunday. During ...
Student James Anaya, a member of UNM's Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter, was arrested Friday on charges of raping a female student at the fraternity's house. Lt. Pat Davis, UNM Police spokesman, said Anaya was charged with first degree criminal sexual penetration. Anaya pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on Friday, said Rudy Chavez, Anaya's lawyer.
The UNM men's soccer team took less than 10 minutes to score the game-winning goal Friday against San Jose State. Sunday against Sacramento State, it took more than 96 minutes for the Lobos to get on the board, in what was an intense 1-0, overtime victory.
Editor, Thursday's Daily Lobo article on the smoke-free forum neglected to address two important subjects. It first failed to provide any of the information on the consequences of secondhand smoke that was presented by the panel of experts in the field, and it also neglected to mention the disrespectful behavior of the students who attempted to represent at least some of the smokers on campus.
In a doubleheader sweep of Odessa College on Saturday, the starting pitcher for Game 1 probably looked familiar to the Lobos' opponents. That's because UNM softball pitcher Kelly Ninemire spent her first three seasons pitching for Odessa.
