by Steven Fernandez Daily Lobo Heading into the Mountain West Conference Championships this weekend, the UNM cross country teams aren't scaring anybody. That's just the way head coach Matt Henry wants it to be. "We're in a very good situation," he said.
by Brandale Mills Daily Lobo Students went hungry Thursday to help provide food for the needy. UNM's third annual Ramadan Fast-A-Thon took place from sunrise at 7:23 a.m. until sunset at 6:17 p.m. The fast, hosted by UNM's Muslim Student Association, is a program where a person pledges to fast for one day.
Editor, Wasn't that Pat Robertson I saw in front of the SUB on Wednesday? He may not have looked like Robertson, but he sure sounded like him. I guess the guy with the banner spouting off about how everyone was going to hell was the campus evangelist Matt Bourgault, and his message was all too familiar.
Editor, I will agree with Matt Bourgault, who demonstrated outside the SUB on Wednesday, that evangelism is the responsibility of Christians, as commanded in the book of Matthew. And I agree that college campuses can be places of licentious parties and moral decay.
Editor, I applaud Colin Donoghue's column in last Friday's Daily Lobo, "Jesus was no Republican," and Ralph Arellanes Jr.'s letter in Monday's Lobo. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and to do good to them. During the first 200 years after Jesus, no followers of Jesus became soldiers.
by Travis Weber Daily Lobo The last three games of the UNM Ice Wolves' eight-game road trip didn't quite go the way they wanted. The team lost two out of three games last week in Utah after starting the season 4-1 for the first time in its history. The Ice Wolves dropped their first game last Thursday night to Utah Valley State 7-4.
by Lisa Adams Daily Lobo About 800 students from 39 local high schools visited UNM on Thursday to attend Hispano Student Day. Rosa Cervantes, student program specialist with El Centro de la Raza, said the event originated as a way for high school students to tour the campus and learn more about college life.
Cyrena Hur, Senior, Public Relations "I still think it's a good idea that we're there. I voted for Bush, and I would do it over again if I had to." Katryn Fraher, Sophomore, Sociology "Same thing I've always thought - it's bad news. We shouldn't be there.
by Daniel S. Archuleta Daily Lobo Head coach Rocky Long said no matter the night of the week, games against the Colorado State Rams are always tough. "Whenever we play Colorado State, it's very intense, whether it's on Friday night, Monday night or Saturday night," Long said.
by Eva Dameron Daily Lobo It's time for men to pour their hearts out on stage. "Four Wheel Drive (One or Two Things About Testosterone)" is a show written by local playwright Joe Sackett. Sackett said the play is idea-driven instead of plot-driven. "It's a play of ideas," he said.
by Eva Dameron Daily Lobo Robert and Shana Parkeharrison don't just take photographs. They make them. The Parkeharrisons attended UNM in the early '90s - now they've returned with their traveling photography exhibit, "The Architect's Brother," showing in the University Art Museum through December 21.
Editor, The issue of intelligent design has been in the news lately, most recently in Rio Rancho, where the ACLU is ready to step in and support any teacher who does not want to teach intelligent design in their classrooms. Personally, I have no problem with the concept of intelligent design - in fact, I'm all for it.
by Nathan Williams Daily Lobo Upon picking up The Sorrow of Archaeology, initial instincts were that this would turn into a dull science read. Readers will be pleasantly mistaken. While it does use archaeology to advance the mystery of a dead girl, the focus is on the main character Sarah and her husband Henry and their struggles through their complicated, yet rather normal lives.
by Alex Williams Daily Lobo The Very Hush Hush, a duo of classically trained pianists, brought its experimental live show to the Launchpad on Wednesday. The duo is touring to promote its new album, Mourir C'est Facile. The Very Hush Hush consists of Peter Bo Rappmund and Grant Hazard Outerbridge, who incorporate drums, bass, piano and a synthesizer.
by Caleb Fort Daily Lobo UNM professor Barbara Cohen is one of eight scientists chosen by NASA to participate with the Mars Exploration Rover team. "I'm totally elated," Cohen said. "I get to drive these rovers around Mars. It's the most amazing thing.
Editor, The news that President Bush's nationwide support has slumped to new depths shouldn't surprise anyone. This news says more about the American media than about the man himself. The rest of the world has perceived Bush - but not his arch rivals Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez - as the most dangerous threat to world peace and the future of this globe for several years.
Editor, I am appalled at Carolyn Johnson's letter to the editor in Tuesday's Daily Lobo in response to an article titled "Assisting people in pain." Using the Bible as a piece of factual information to support your every moral claim is preposterous. The Bible is a work of allegorical literature that has been translated numerous times throughout history and is interpreted by many different denominations in a plethora of ways.
