by Sari Krosinsky Daily Lobo Columnist On July 31, a bomb went off in a cafeteria at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It wasn't the usual suicide bombing, but a bomb planted and set off remotely by a cell phone. Bad jokes about cell phones really being deadly aside, a comment from a friend drew me to look farther into this particular situation.
On Sunday, Sept. 15 the John Donald Robb Musical Trust and The Center for Southwest Research held a tribute to the late John Donald Robb, Dean of the College of Fine Arts from 1942-57. It was a beautiful afternoon when the music of Robb was performed by contemporary New Mexican guitarist, vocalist and friend of Robb's, Frank McCulloch.
Richard M. Romero, democratic nominee for the First Congressional District, was at the Duck Pond Monday seeking student support for his November election. Campaigning with Romero was Karenna Gore-Schiff, daughter of former United States Vice-President Al Gore.
by Rafael Gallegos Daily Lobo This year's Gay and Lesbian Film Festival at the Southwest Film Center offered the usual cinematic fare - three documentaries and a full-length narrative. The subject matter, however, was anything but the usual. My weekend at the cinema started out with a disturbing look at a proselytizing haunted house.
by Eric Linderman U-Wire Of all the media outlets available to us, none generates more distrust and hostility than the television. Despite that fact, it's still where most normal people get their news. That's unfortunate because, as many media analysts have already noted, "TV journalism" is somewhat of an oxymoron.
Creepy, over-developed black and white photos, three guitarists and no talent, flagrant displays of tattoos, references to fatality - does this sound familiar? Dragpipe, the newest six-member neo-metal super troupe has no problem being as formulaic as a linear equation and as boring as chicken broth.
UNM's intramural sports offer students, staff and faculty a variety of ways to get out and compete among their peers, provides a way of relieving stress and adds to a person's overall college experience. "It provides a common ground for people to gather, and offers them ways to connect in ways not possible through the everyday school life," said Fred Perez, director of UNM's Recreational Services.
The UNM defensive squad showed just how good it can be in it 23-0 shut out of Baylor University Saturday. The Lobos D dominated, wreaking havoc on the Bears' offense all night. Good defense is something that UNM fans have gotten used to over the past couple of years, but that had not been the case in the first three games this season.
UNM's Child Care Center is expanding to offer more support to students with families - something that many students may not even know about. Elena Aguirre, the center's director, said the program is so vital to the UNM community that she doesn't understand why more students don't know about it.
Anyone who uses e-mail or the Internet, receives a paycheck, issues grades or even hires someone, whether they know it, is using one key department at UNM - the Computer and Information Resources and Technology Department. The department, more commonly known among computer users as CIRT, is looking at its current computer systems and capabilities and is using state-of-the-art technology to make on-campus computers more manageable and user-friendly.
UNM's 23-0 demolition of Baylor University Saturday night turned out to be a game of lost and found. The Lobos found its ferocious, top-20 defense, which held the Bears to 107 yards total offense, recorded four sacks, forced two fumbles.
Hockey is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. So it's no surprise that UNM has a hockey team of its own. The UNM Ice Wolves enter their sixth year of existence this year. A club team, the Ice Wolves are not NCAA-sanctioned, nor does the UNM Athletic Department support them.
by Mary Franklin Daily Lobo Last month, New Mexico became the 40th state to confirm presence of the West Nile Virus when horses tested positive in several southeastern counties. Although the disease has only been spotted in horses far away from Albuquerque, UNM and city officials are vigilantly watching for conditions that may cause the virus to spring up here.
