by Daniel S. Archuleta Daily Lobo Senior nose tackle Marcus Parker needs only one word to describe the kind of football player he is - tenacious. Parker said that's the only way to play. "That's how you have to play D-line," he said. "You have to play with intensity and be physical on every play.
by Tamara Gaskill Daily Lobo By 12:30 p.m. Thursday, there were more than 25 people waiting in line to get their Chinese food fix at the SUB. Angela Gonzales was one student waiting in the long line outside Miso, the SUB's Chinese restaurant. She said having Chinese food at the SUB drew her there.
Editor, As UNM students, staff, and faculty enjoy their overpriced Starbucks coffee at Zimmerman Library, they are supporting a large multinational corporation with over 5,600 outlets worldwide. Meanwhile, local Albuquerque coffee shops - that might have been a more sensible and ethical business choice for UNM - are struggling just to survive against such giant corporate predators.
by Steven Fernandez Daily Lobo Former UNM standout Keren Bentzur brought a lot of individual success to the Lobo track and field team. As the new assistant track and field coach, Bentzur said she hopes to help add more team success. Head coach Matt Henry has seen a lot of good things at UNM, and Bentzur was certainly one of his shining stars, he said.
Editor, I am writing this letter in response to the Daily Lobo opinion column, "Iraqi situation deteriorates." The racial undertones of the article are hard to ignore. I find it immoral that the left is bent on dismissing the aspirations of the Iraqi people in order to use them to punish President Bush.
the daily lobo asks you: What do you think about the proposed policy that would suspend students from UNM who expressed extreme suicidal or homicidal thoughts to a therapist at the health center? See the Daily Lobo for more answers to Question of the week.
Editor, I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed the incredibly inappropriate remark used by Chris Narkun in his review of "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." His comment that the film was "supposedly subjected to more trimming than a Jewish infant" offended me more than the usual conservative-bashing drivel often found in the Daily Lobo.
UNM Webmail received a makeover this summer. Students, staff and faculty are now able to add features to their Webmail. The MyUNM Web site also got a face-lift. Steve Spence, the CIRT technical support analyst, said the main features of the improved MyUNM site include an updated e-mail channel, a calendar and a built-in help feature.
If you see a man with his entire head slathered in tattoos walking around campus, don't be alarmed. He's a UNM instructor. Bruce Potts teaches Public Speaking. He got his first tattoo in 1968 during a stint in the Navy and decided after retiring from teaching in public schools that he wanted to get his head and face done as well.
Jen Stephenson and Alison Terry have created a flexible whirlwind. Those are the words Terry says are reasonable to describe the piece she and Stephenson are working on, titled "Rice For Breakfast." "I think it will be genuinely unlike anything anyone has experienced theatrically," Stephenson said.
by Andrew Price Daily Lobo columnist The life of a working dog is a thankless one. You spend all your time protecting stupid, smelly, thankless, ungrateful sheep and for what? The privilege of listening to them criticize you, make fun of you and even call you names.
McAllister Hull was just 21 when he began working at Los Alamos Labs in 1944. "The work was interesting, the significance of the war was understood, and it never occurred to me to think of my age," Hull said in an e-mail interview. His memoir, Rider of the Pale Horse, documents his experience casting explosions for what would be the atomic bomb.
by Eva Dameron Journalist's funeral an explosive final farewell Hunter S. Thompson went out with a bang. In Woody Creek, a small town outside of Aspen, Colo., the Gonzo journalist and author once lived on a piece of land he called Owl Farm. A funeral for 350 friends and family was held Saturday.
Editor, I was appalled to read of a proposed policy to involuntarily withdraw students from UNM if they are deemed dangerous to themselves or others. Clearly, this flies in the face of common sense. To begin with, school may be the one distraction from such individual's problems that keeps them afloat and occupied in a productive way.
More than 3,000 servings of green chile stew were served at the Duck Pond Wednesday. The event was part of Welcome Back Days and the third day students, faculty and staff could get free food courtesy of the University. "Instead of regretting coming back, many students look forward to this week," said Ryan Lindquist, interim associate director for student services.
Stephen Donaldson builds worlds with words. Donaldson will be the guest of honor at the 37th annual Bubonicon Science Fiction Convention that celebrates fantasy, science fiction and horror. The events cover a wide range of possibilities, he said, including open panel discussion, an art show and several short films.
Editor, We are concerned that students reading the headline, "Suicidal thoughts may get students kicked out," in Wednesday's Daily Lobo, will not seek help if they become suicidal. The headline implies that all students with suicidal thoughts are at risk of being kicked out of UNM.
Americans aren't the only ones with dysfunctional families. "My Neighbors the Yamadas" is an animated film that follows the life of one family living in a suburb of Tokyo, Japan. They fight, lose their 6-year-old daughter in a shopping mall, eat their dinner in front of a TV set, ignore each other, have a preteen boy who looks at dirty magazines and a grandma who talks to caterpillars.
Finally, a pretentious art rock band you can sink your teeth into. We Are Wolves sounds like every other garage band to emerge from the woodwork the last few years, at least during a perfunctory first listen. But they manage to pull a few interesting musical tricks out of what are surely very tight sleeves.
