Letter: Voters must not allow corrupt Clinton into office

Daily Lobo Readers | October 23

LAUNCELOT: Nay, indeed, if you had your eyes, you might fail of the knowing me: it is a wise father that knows his own child.

Mountaineering club so much more than climbing rocks

Audrin Baghaie | October 23

Mountains were made to be conquered. To traverse nature by means of hiking, biking and climbing is an endeavor that satisfies a certain, perhaps innate, human craving for exploration, and it’s often more fun to do it with friends. UNM’s Mountaineering club has become well-versed with the Southwest over the last few decades, hosting events ranging from Wolf Creek snowboarding trips to rock climbing ventures in Joshua Tree National Park, among other wild expeditions. The club provides training, equipment, means of travel and bimonthly gatherings for like-minded individuals to meet up and interact. “Basically students pay $30 a semester and they get access to all our camping and climbing gear,” said Club President Rachel Swanteson-Franz. “The idea is to give people a community to explore the outdoors with. You need partners to climb with, so we try to cultivate a place to meet people for that.”

UNM chalks pavement expression up to free speech

Nichole Harwood | October 23

The University has provided positive outlets for students who are interested in marketing their events, as well as supporting their candidate of choice in both local and national elections. Ryan Lindquist, associate director of the Student Activities Center, said the policy allowing students to use chalk on UNM’s malls and walkways has existed for over 15 years. His department is only contacted in cases of potential violations. Lindquist said his department tries not to edit content. Instances in which chalkings must be removed mainly involve profanity or inappropriate content, although he said these cases are not common. The biggest deal for the department is usually someone having to pay for removing spray chalk using a power-washer.

Football: Lobos pull together for rout over LMU

Robert Maler | October 23

The Lobo football team finally got solid play — and scores — in all three phases of the game as the team recorded eight touchdowns from eight different players en route to a 59-17 thumping of Louisiana-Monroe Saturday at University Stadium. Junior cornerback Jadon Boatright, who has logged limited minutes this season due to a turf toe injury, proved he is back as healthy as ever, and made an immediate impact in the game on defense.

Marijuana magazine launches in Albuquerque

Fin Martinez | October 23

On Friday, Sister Bar in downtown Albuquerque hosted the release party of Albuquerque’s new marijuana magazine “The Chronicle.” The publication, which covers topics from cannabis legality and politics to strain reviews and medical use, celebrated its premier issue with writers, friends, and directors in attendance. The Chronicle was the brainchild of John Delgado and Jen Montaño, the founder and editor in chief of the magazine respectively. “The original idea was a shared passion, basically. Everybody in this industry needed an avenue, and myself, I’ve always wanted to do a publication,” Montaño said. “I met John — he had it in the back of his head to do it also, but we just didn’t find each other at that moment. So a few months ago we found each other and had the similar ideas that we had, and we decided to publish the Chronicle.”

Matthieu Cartron | October 23

Only the top six teams in the Mountain West Conference advance to the conference tournament, and both squads playing on Friday night needed a positive result, making the fixture between New Mexico and Wyoming a critical match. New Mexico (7-7-3, 3-5-1 MW) entered the match tied for the seventh spot, with Wyoming (9-7-1, 5-4-0 MW) sixth in the standings. Unfortunately for the Lobos, it just wasn’t their night, with the team suffering a 3-0 shutout.

UNM town hall tackles budget

Nikole Mckibben | October 23

A town hall meeting was held in the SUB on Thursday to discuss UNM’s budget shortfall and potential strategies to address it. In order for the University to cover needed expenses, officials will implement a mid-year recall of funds previously dedicated for certain University areas for the year. “This is the biggest challenge we’ve ever faced, to take money out of a budget that has already been allocated,” President Bob Frank said. UNM will see a total recall of $15.5 million — $9.8 million from Main Campus, $4.7 million from Health Sciences and $1 million from branch campuses. Academic Affairs will see $4.56 million in cuts, which accounts for 2.7 percent of its total budget.

Guest Column: It's time for a third-party option

Beverly Burris | October 23

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the two worst candidates ever to run for the U.S. presidency. In a Gallup poll from Sept. 26, only 33 percent said that Clinton was “honest and trustworthy,” compared with 35 pecent for Trump. Polls from the summer showed that over half of the electorate believes that Clinton should have been indicted by the Department of Justice. Scandals continue to plague both candidates. Either candidate would be a terrible president, although for different reasons. Trump is inexperienced and incoherent, and he says dangerous and misguided things; Clinton is experienced but corrupt, and she has done dangerous and misguided things — especially her hawkish foreign policy initiatives.

Brendon Gray | October 23

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson is polling at just over six percent across the nation, according to a Real Clear Politics aggregate of 13 polls conducted across the country. However, some believe his chances of winning are good, as long as Johnson can secure New Mexico’s five electoral votes. “If Gary Johnson takes the state he has a chance for the presidency,” said Marina Herrera, a junior double-majoring in English and speech and hearing sciences. Herrera is also the New Mexico State Chair of Youth for the Johnson/Weld campaign.

Those who worried about New Mexico football stumbling in a “trap” game didn’t need to do so. The Lobos scored on their first offensive — and defensive — possessions and never looked back in a Saturday night win against Louisiana-Monroe. The defense hadn’t created a turnover since game four of the season against San Jose State, an Austin Ocasio interception return for touchdown in a 48-41 win.
