When O'Niell's Pub shut down in 2004, owner Rob O'Niell wanted the new location to stay true to the original. "We took an existing building and created basically the same space we had at our first location in Nob Hill - kind of an updated look, but people will still recognize it as O'Niell's Pub," he said.
The story I am about to write is a strange one, although it is set in and around a seemingly ordinary place. Most of its details come from interviews with the main subjects' family members.
To the UNM community and the greater Albuquerque community, It is with a heavy heart that I join the UNM community in marking the sudden passing last weekend of two promising new students, best friends who were planning to room together on campus and who were about to begin their collegiate careers at UNM.
Nicole Montes, owner of Silver Board Shop, said the Silver Skate Jam will attract a diverse group of people. "Doctors, lawyers, students, grandparents and grandkids - these days there isn't a stereotypical skateboarder anymore," she said. "So there is no set example of who is coming."

UNM professor Mohamed El-Genk said it is important to diversify power sources. "We can not afford to exclude any options, because we have a diverse environment and circumstances in which we need different energy," he said. "If I say nuclear can do it and go and ignore the others, it is very stupid, very irresponsible." He is working on a project that will use the waste heat from a nuclear plant, or any other power plant, to heat homes or send it to factories to use, he said.
After numerous attempts to apply for the Title V grant, UNM's main campus was awarded $2.8 million to improve services for Hispanic students. "It's a great opportunity for the University. Not often do you get an opportunity like this," said Tim Gutierrez, director of College Enrichment/Special Programs. "It's a great opportunity for the University.

This letter is in response to Shoshana Handel's comments in the July 27-Aug. 2 issue of the Daily Lobo. Like Handel, I am Jewish. Having grown up in the Soviet Union and experienced an oppressive regime firsthand, I am a firm believer in the freedom of speech, just as Handel clearly is. However, I feel that individuals need to be responsible while exercising their First Amendment right, something Handel failed to do when she unjustly accused Israel of "imperialism," "willful violence against civilians" and "war crimes."
While I was generally pleased with Christopher Sanchez's piece in the Aug. 21 Daily Lobo on David Hilliard's faculty appointment in African-American Studies, I was extremely disappointed that he chose to punctuate, not once but twice, that Hilliard did not have an academic degree. Given that the very first sentence makes this point, one might easily believe that the author felt that it was important to inform our academic community about what some here may perceive as an anomaly. And while this may be far removed from Sanchez's intentions, I want to respond briefly to his article.
Ah, preseason. A time where world-class athletes with $1 million contracts get to screw up countless times before the regular season starts; a time where teams start looking for a go-to guy; a time where contracts are signed and players are cut; a time to start the damn season already.
Experience is scarce on the UNM volleyball team, but there isn't a lack of leadership with senior Kelly Therkelsen helping command the young team.
If the UNM men's soccer team is going to return to the College Cup final this season, some of its younger players may have to contribute significantly.
It's hated by many - including players, owners and coaches - and it's loved by few - pretty much the same people who watch the whole day of the NFL Draft.
I used to hate watching preseason NFL football. There are loads of obvious reasons why it's a bad thing - big-time injuries in small-time games, starters playing scarce minutes - but let's focus on the positive.
I just wanted to ask returning UNM students and the invading hoards of freshmen, why are you still here? The U.S. needs generation 9/11.
An ASUNM proposal for lighting Johnson Field might find funding this year, said Brittany Jaeger, ASUNM president. The lights would make it safer for students to walk from their cars to their dorm rooms, she said. "Nobody would expect somebody to park a mile away from their house that they would have to walk back to in the dark," Jaeger said.
For Amy Farrar-Baker, running is more than just a way to stay in shape. With every mile she treads over, Farrar-Baker financially assists the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. On Jan. 7, 2007, Farrar-Baker will be in Orlando to run 26.2 miles in the Walt Disney World Marathon. Her participation in the event will ensure that $5,000 goes to benefit the society. "Training for a marathon is a somewhat selfish endeavor," Farrar-Baker said.

In just two years, UNM's marching band has almost doubled in size. In 2004, the band had 82 members. Today, it has 140. "It's because of our new band director," said senior Heather Hansen. "I think that's why."
