Weather permitting, the Lobos are getting ready to take on Charlotte by storm. After back-to-back wins at home, the UNM men’s soccer team is hitting the road for a match against the Charlotte 49ers in hopes of getting its second Conference USA win of the season. The game on Saturday will be the first of three road matchups in the next two weeks.
New Mexico is still searching after the team’s fourth consecutive loss on Thursday night, this one a sweep at the hands of Colorado State. The Lobos (10-8, 1-4 Mountain West) couldn’t get any momentum on night where the team was encouraging fans to “Jam Johnson,” instead falling 25-19, 25-21, 25-21 against the Rams (10-5, 4-0). CSU’s attack was dominant, posting a .389 hitting percentage, while Lobos were only hitting .074. CSU had good blocks as well — 12 team blocks were just four times more than those of UNM.
UNM Bar Exam Found Unequal A national bar exam, recently adopted by New Mexico, may contain bias.
Large Off-Broadway performances like The Lion King — which is running through October — have become a double-edged swords. While bringing revenue to Popejoy and the University, the scheduling of popular visiting shows tends to take top priority, causing smaller student organizations to have to schedule around them or find another venue. Faith Grattan, a junior music education major, said there has been difficulties with planning student performances because Popejoy schedules events that bring in revenue. In turn, they take precedence over on-campus groups — even UNM Theater productions.
UNM IT officials, at a town hall earlier this week, provided potential solutions — some already in place at some department — to combat inefficiencies brought to light in report earlier this semester. One of the report’s suggestions was to streamline necessary procedures in order to make things less difficult across all University entities, but that is easier said than done, said Brian Pietrewicz, IT interim deputy CIO. “One of the main themes of the report is that the University is spending a substantial amount of money on IT, but we are not getting a return on our investment,” Pietrewicz said.

With a new freshman living requirement to be implemented in fall 2018, we took it upon ourselves to crunch and compare the estimated living costs for options on and off campus.
Junior running back Romell Jordan was lost due to a knee injury before the football season even began; last week he experienced the toughest loss one could imagine. Jordan was seen entering University Stadium toward the end of Thursday’s practice just days after he reportedly found out his mother died. As practice concluded, teammates and coaches embraced the running back, and seemed to be consoling him and offering words of encouragement.
Netflix has done it again with its latest Marvel superhero adaptation, “Luke Cage.”Luke Cage was created by Archie Goodwin and John Romita Sr. during the 1970s “Blaxploitation” era, where he was portrayed as a “hero for hire” in crime-ridden Harlem. Since then, Luke Cage, the super-strong, bulletproof, hero has been reimagined numerous times and has been part of many superhero alliances, including his latest foray into the Marvel cinematic universe. Luke Cage first appeared in the MCU in Netflix’s recent series “Jessica Jones,” in which he assists the titular character in her crime-fighting missions.
A white man, blonde hair and blue eyed, stands center frame. On either side of him, a Native American and Spaniard face the Anglo and extend a hand. The Anglo holds his hands out to them and, while his blue eyes are wide open, the Native and Spaniard eyes are closed as they face the Anglo rather than stare straight ahead. The image is one out of four frames that make up a controversial work of art in Zimmerman Library.
Dear James Lewis, President, UNM Alumni Association: Your recent call to action would be a much easier cause to support if the administration was willing to take a look at low-performing professors and strip them of their tenure. UNM wastes a tremendous amount of its scarce resources by not holding its staff accountable.
Not that it will alter the outcome, but it appears that after years of using the same tired old guidebook on manipulating the masses, the wheels are finally coming off the Media Industrial Military Intelligence Corporate (MIMIC) complex (it “mimics” licit government operating as a shadow government).
New Mexico volleyball is looking to bounce back in Johnson Center this weekend after suffering three straight losses, and finding itself towards the bottom of the conference standings Head coach Jeff Nelson admitted it was a rough trip for Lobos (10-7, 1-3 Mountain West) last week, as they dropped both road matches. “We did not take anything away from San José State,” Nelson said at Monday’s media luncheon. “And on Saturday we just really struggled with Fresno State.”
“Some Like It Hot” is a 1959 black and white comedy starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and the one and only Marilyn Monroe. The film, set in the Prohibition Era, details the adventure of two musicians attempting to outrun the mob by disguising themselves as female musicians. It’s going to take more than just time to derail this motion picture. “Some Like It Hot” was a huge success 60 years ago, and has since earned the privilege to claim originality from hundreds of derivative films that have appeared afterward.
As generations rise and generations fall, so does their impact on surrounding society. One such example that can be commonly seen is how we dress, or what we find acceptable for business attire and tasteful for body art and piercings. The classic look of the businessman — holding a briefcase in a suit with his hair combed back — is no longer the only norm in the business world.
A comprehensive report of crime statistics on UNM properties shows an increase in reported criminal activity on campus from 2013 to 2015. The report was compiled and published by UNMPD and the Office of Equal Opportunity’s Clery Act Compliance Office. Some of that increase can be explained by changes in Clery reporting standards over the past three years, said UNMPD Lieutenant Tim Stump and Clery Officer Robert Burford.
Last season New Mexico stunned Boise State by dealing the Broncos a rare home loss on its distinctive blue turf; now Boise State will be looking to exact revenge when the teams square off Friday at University Stadium. The Lobos were 30.5 point underdogs, but never trailed in last year’s upset, a 31-24 triumph that arguably became head coach Bob Davie’s signature win during his tenure at New Mexico.
