Lobos Basketball Tournament
COLUMN: Making love not war in public
February 18The past and coming weeks are rife with matters of peculiar public display.
Tooting your horn
February 18A UNM area resident who goes by the name Piper plays his alto saxophone while sitting on the city water reservoir's south wall on campus Sunday morning.
LETTER: Butler's analysis simplistic, wrong
February 18In his own words, Lobo columnist Craig Butler describes his analysis of globalization as "simply put."
LETTER: U.S. not responsible for Middle East repression
February 18Regarding Richard Berthold's piece from Feb. 14, I'd like to know how much time Mr. Berthold has spent in Palestine, Israel or Iraq.
LETTER: U.S. should recognize we fit Bush's 'evil'
February 18Like a lot of people around the world, I was deeply disturbed by the president's State of the Union Address and think that his reference to North Korea, Iran and Iraq as the axis of evil needs closer scrutiny.
Athletes of the Week
February 18Junior center Jordan Adams of the women's basketball team is the New Mexico Daily Lobo Athlete of the Week.
Late drought kills UNM's chance to break BYU streak
February 18The UNM men's basketball team had Brigham Young University on the ropes Saturday but could not supply the knockout blow, losing 68-62 Saturday on the road.
Rugby finds boost in loss
Francisco Ojeda | February 18It was a showcase of a national powerhouse against a team looking for recognition when the UNM men's rugby team took on number one ranked University of California at Berkeley Saturday.
LETTER: Basketball team selfish, uncharitable
February 18I commend Chris Maxwell for calling the UNM men's basketball program to task. Of course, the only response you'll get is a patronizing smile because you "don't understand the ins and outs of a major college sports program."
LETTER: Reviewer unfair, disrespectful
February 18Regarding the recently published review of "The All Night Strut," I am very much a believer that each person who attends a show has the right to form her own opinion of it. I also realize that as much as I would like it to happen, not every person will simply love every show presented by Musical Theatre Southwest. And this certainly holds true for the publicly shared opinions of the few reviewers in Albuquerque.
Students learn from Abrose's plagiarism
February 18Last quarter, Seattle University instructor Tim Amen assigned a book by prominent historian Stephen Ambrose in his foreign-policy class. Now, with relish, his returning students are taking swipes at Amen for selecting the work of an author who has since been accused of plagiarism and sloppy footnoting.
COLUMN: APS needs community support
February 15We can learn a lot about how society functions and sustains itself by knowing how it treats its younger generations. There are many old sayings about society's responsibility towards children and their future. With the Brad Allison fiasco and the recent voting not to raise taxes to build newer schools, these sayings could not be more appropriate and valuable than today.
Campaigning for cannabis
February 15Senior Lorin Yannarell, left, talks with senior Scott Larrichio, a member of THC of UNM outside Zimmerman Library Thursday. The group was seeking support in its campaign to legalize marijuana.
LETTER: Protesters fighting to protect rights, not against commerce
February 15It's interesting that the Daily Lobo columnist Craig E. Butler opened his recent column with the supposed intention of answering why the existence of NAFTA and the World Trade Organization causes street battles between activists and police. What makes this interesting is that Butler never makes even the slightest attempt to answer the question that he poses. To merely say that globalization's "approach" is "stepping on a lot of sensitive toes" is hardly an answer.
New Mexico disaster team members help at Olympics
February 15Five members of the New Mexico Disaster Medical Assistance Team headed to Salt Lake City to provide medical care for the 2002 Winter Olympics. The team departed from Albuquerque on Thursday and will return Feb 25.
LETTER: Exhibit will not be sponsored by UNM
February 15The Dean of Students Office is advising the campus community and campus visitors that Justice for All, Inc., an anti-abortion organization, will have a free-speech photographic exhibit that includes graphic photographs at three locations on the UNM campus. One Feb. 18 and 19, the exhibit will be north of Ortega Hall along the wooden fence. On Feb. 20 and 21, the exhibit will be east of Popejoy on Cornell Mall. The exhibit also will be at the Health Sciences Center Plaza on UNM's north campus Feb. 21.
Library promotes collection
Iliana Limn | February 15While UNM maintains one of the most high profile and extensive Latin American and Iberian research collections in the world, staff members are working to make sure people on campus know it exists.
