UNM's Chris Carlson watched the Major League Baseball draft with a chip on his shoulder. In 2004, Carlson was cut from the Kansas State University baseball team. That summer, the Lobos signed him.
Before I sit down to write a hip-hop review, I make hip-hop beats. Having acquired beat-writing software from a friend who was tragically killed by rebels in a remote Peruvian village, I find it necessary to the writing process that I suffer the endlessly repeating realization that I possess no amount of measurable musical talent. It aids in the bitter metamorphosis required to transform from ordinary human schlub to venom-spitting dynamo.
Two of UNM's technology departments will become one, starting July 1. Computer and Information Resources and Technology will merge with the Telecommunications Department to form Information Technology Services.
The article on the front page of the June 8-14 issue, "UNM to Win by Losing," struck me as ironic and absurd - pathetic really - since UNM's Human Resources Department has specifically excluded any health coverage of weight loss programs in their contract with United Health Care.
Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong era? In the midst of all the emotional and bohemian hipsters struggling for individuality, rockabillies have found a simple style that sets them apart and takes them to a different time, a more simple time - the '50s.
Nate Melek is ready to prove he was worth the draft pick. The Toronto Blue Jays selected Melek, a senior pitcher from UNM, in the 43rd round on the last day of the Major League Baseball draft on June 7.
As an absentee editor currently studying in Mexico, I figure there's no better time than now to write about American attitudes toward immigration.
UNM may soon be part of the International Center for the Study of Terrorism. The center, led by Penn State University's Kevin Murphy, will examine terrorism using the social sciences - why terrorists become radicalized and how the public reacts to acts of terrorism.
As temperatures reached near 100 degrees Monday, I could not help but notice that the University was watering lawns in the heat of the day - past 11 a.m. Lawns were being watered at the law school and other north campus locations and on the main campus.
UNM pole vaulters Derek Mackel and Robert Caldwell will not be moving on in the NCAA Championships.
Regarding the Opinion column by Joe Buffaloe on June 1, it was mentioned that "the process of banning cigarettes" passed through the UNM Staff Council. This is not the case.
Eva Encinias-Sandoval said Festival Flamenco Internacional has come a long way in 20 years.
I haven't been this excited for an NBA Finals in years. First, there is the heroic Dwyane Wade who played through the flu to help the Miami Heat advance to its first-ever finals appearance, gaining him mounds upon mounds of Michael Jordan comparisons.
There are only 15 minutes between classes. It would be impossible to walk down to Lomas Boulevard or Central Avenue and get to class on time if smoking weren't allowed on campus. What about classes that last two-and-a-half hours? Don't tell me to quit smoking. My health is my own concern, and outdoor smoke is nothing more than a momentary nuisance.
All right you pitiful Americans who have yet to embrace the beautiful game, listen up. We are on the eve of the greatest sporting event in the entire world and all of you have a reason to pay attention.
UNM is going to have an expanded catalogue of hybrid classes for the fall semester. In a hybrid course, half of the students enrolled in a class would meet with their instructor and the other half of the students would attend class online through WebCT, said English professor Scott Sanders.
Like it or not Joe Buffaloe, the intelligence you see in the UNM community is being used to make conscious health decisions rather than defend a killer substance on the basis of freedom.
I completely agree with Katie Downey when she advises everyone to "get your degree before having a baby." I learned a wise proverb in high school: "A smart person makes his or her own mistakes, but a wise person learns from the mistakes of others."
This week I received a memo from Bill Adkins, UNM's chief information officer, stating that UNM will not produce a hard copy campus directory starting this fall. The memo states that they "found a majority of faculty, staff and students are now using the online directory..."
June Higgins couldn't play an instrument in 2002. But what she lacked in talent, she made up for with inspiration.
