LGBTQ Resource Center gets national recognition

Matthew Reisen | November 10

UNM has been named one of the top 30 schools in the nation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning students, thanks to the efforts of a resource center on campus. The list, compiled by BestColleges.com, ranked UNM number 17 in the nation for LGBTQ college students based on high levels of support and innovative resources at the university, according to the website. “The LGBTQ Resource Center at UNM provides a significant array of services, such as hosting awareness events, conducting Safe Zone training, providing safe sex resources and hosting educational lectures at cafes,” the website stated.

Volleyball: Record-setting win after alumna induction

Liam Cary-Eaves | November 10

The history books will have to be rewritten for New Mexico’s volleyball program. With 1,838 kills, redshirt senior Chantale Riddle took sole possession of UNM’s points record during the Lobos’ 3-1 victory over San Diego State (11-13, 6-7 MW) Saturday from Tania Gooley, UNM’s previous point leader (1,818). The right side hitter seemed shocked after breaking the record at home, in front of the previous kill record holder and the team’s fans.

Basketball: Lobos make do without Walker

Liam Cary-Eaves | November 10

Head coach Yvonne Sanchez said New Mexico took a hit without the team’s starting center, but that the depth inside will overcome Ebony Walker’s presence down low. That depth came through in the Lobos’ exhibition game Sunday. UNM outscored Eastern New Mexico 42-8 in the paint despite losing Walker to a suspension after her being charged with domestic violence on Nov. 4. Sanchez said, following UNM’s 61-49 victory over Eastern New Mexico, that it was a refreshing change of pace after a hectic week.

Student initiative seeks green proposals

Tomas Lujan | November 10

Students will have a chance to make a difference in sustainability, thanks to a new project on campus. The UNM Green Fund is a student-led collection of resources aimed at empowering innovative young minds to promote all types of sustainability, and the group is asking students to submit proposals for sustainability projects. Earl Shank, a senior business and economics major and the acting sustainability coordinator for the Green Fund, said this is the first year the Green Fund will accept project proposals. The fact that it is so new is exciting because it means they can fund almost anything, he said.

Isabel Gonzalez | November 10

Senior Night proved successful as the New Mexico men’s soccer team finished its regular-season campaign with a 2-1 victory over South Carolina on Friday. With the win, the Lobos (11-5-1, 4-4-0) earned the No. 5 seed and will face the Conference USA tournament host Old Dominion (fourth-seed) on Wednesday for quarterfinal action. “I was real proud of our guys,” head coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “There were some nerves going in because it was a big game. It was important to get that (win) under the belt and send the seniors out in style.”

Republican wins owe more to 'six-year itch' than will of the people

November 10

On Friday the Daily Lobo reprinted an article by Michael Reagan originally called “Riding the Wave.” This article overlooks the actual landscape from which Republicans were able to benefit simply because they were not the party of the president. There is a term among political scientists called the “six-year itch,” which in essence predicts that in the second term of a presidency, the president’s party will likely suffer defeats during midterm elections. Mr. Reagan should be quite aware of this, given that his father suffered the very same problem in his second term, losing eight seats in the Senate and five seats in the House, as well as the fact that previous Democratic majorities with which Obama entered office were based upon gains made during midterms in George W. Bush’s second term.

Gipson steps up after Pressley injury

Liam Cary-Eaves | November 10

Sophomore halfback Teriyon Gipson answered the call Saturday night after New Mexico’s leading rusher, Jhurell Pressley, limped off the field with an ankle injury in the second quarter. Gipson had a great night on the ground following the Pressley injury, rushing the ball 24 times for 205 yards, both career highs. In Saturday’s 60-49 loss to Boise State (7-2, 4-1 MW), UNM’s rushing attack stayed strong despite losing a key contributor. “I thought he was good, I thought our entire power offense was pretty impressive,” head coach Bob Davie said of the running game. “We had 400 yards of offense in the first half ... That’s with a redshirt quarterback, a true sophomore running back, and a redshirt freshman tailback.”

Local planners aim to foster community

Mateo Rocha | November 6

Some may call it urban sprawl; others, urban development. But in Albuquerque there is a particular concept at the root of the growth of the city: social inclusion in community development. Urban ABQ is an online community discussion forum tackling the question of Albuquerque’s future. The forum created an online venue that publishes information and gives Albuquerque residents a voice in the development of their environment, including the UNM area. Urban planner Timothy Trujillo, founder of Urban ABQ, said he emphasizes the importance of considering the community in design plans for the city. There is rich cultural history in Albuquerque, and the integration of those concepts is imperative to the design and function of a growing community, he said.

Student band shines bright in the nightlife

Mateo Rocha | November 6

It is the synchronization of vocals paired with the strum of guitar strings and the beat of a cajón, highlighted by the sharp yet measured tune of the brass that creates a Latin sound. Local music group Sol de La Noche embodies this very sound. The quintet is a Latin music combo composed of UNM students pursuing degrees in the College of Fine Arts. Senior music major Diego Manrique said he began the project independently with the prospect of growing artistically.
