Now that I’ve been in graduate classes and on both sides of an undergraduate classroom, I want to apologize to most of my undergraduate professors.
Editor, I am writing in response to two items that appeared on your opinion page Oct. 7. Congratulations to Arun Anand Ahuja for the satirical column on China.
Editor, I am writing concerning the series of recent letters from Muhajir Romero, especially “Muslims should fight oppression with force,” published this Wednesday. It’s fanatics like Muhajir that give religions a bad name.
The success of his high school mariachi program is music to Al Gurule’s ears — literally. Before he began teaching mariachi in public schools, Al Gurule was an accountant who performed mariachi on the side. “I didn’t want to work with little kids.
In your pursuit of academic saintliness, you may find the UNM Art Museum enlightening.
The Albuquerque Community Writing Center offers an intellectual Poe-etry treat to replace the sugary goodies this Halloween.
KUNM volunteer David Lescht can’t free prisoners from their physical walls, but he can free them from their mental constructs. Lescht, a freeform radio host, founded two programs in the ’90s which were inspired by his days in the ’70s, living in a commune. His experience with the commune band left him hungry for more public service through music, something his radio show only partially satisfied, he said.
I recently read a Daily Lobo article about the possibility of constructing new student housing at UNM and, like always, this article reinforced my belief that the current administration is wholly incompetent and, hey, also shows contempt for the student population.
Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to disavow myself from any statements I made in the past disparaging those Muslims who are fighting against the enemies of Islam.
Editor, Another UNM football game, another loss: this one 49-7. Really? Sirs, as a decade-long resident of New Mexico, I have been watching the slowly deteriorating situation inside UNM’s Athletics Department.
Sara Halasz’s season is over before it even started. Halasz, a junior guard for the Lobo women’s basketball team, tore her right ACL last Friday in a team scrimmage at the Lobo Howl, putting her out for the entire season. She was chosen as a preseason All Mountain West Conference selection, and the injury is the same one she suffered last year that also benched her. “I am not going to let that bring me down,” Halasz said.
Ross Millington could go down as the greatest runner in the history of UNM. The 5-foot-7-inch, 125-pound Brit moved to Albuquerque right out of high school from Stockport, England, in January of 2009. Living alone, meeting new people and a being in a different part of the world surprised Millington. “I didn’t really know what to expect,” he said.
The “Handball Lobos” are ready to get a hand on their second year as an official club team. The handball team was formed last fall by four students from the handball class offered at UNM. Former research biology professor Carl White coaches the team.
South campus staff members are beginning to speak out about what they call mistreatment of employees by a former UNM vice president on a massive scale.
Nurses at UNM Hospital will soon be required to wear all-black uniforms to allow for quick identification of hospital staff, but some nurses say the color conjures associations of death and despair.
Ralph Montoya, the man suspected of killing UNM English professor Hector Torres and his girlfriend, UNM graduate student Stefania Gray, is expected to plea guilty to second degree murder during a court proceeding Thursday, UNM English department officials said.
An electrical fire ignited at the future site of a health club next to the Mint Tulip Vegan Cafe on Central Avenue near Yale Boulevard this morning. Dan Barrera, the health club’s owner, said he opened the building planning to continue readying the club for its upcoming grand opening, but when he turned on the lights, sparks flew.
President Obama appointed UNM alumnus Adrián A. Pedroza to the White House Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics last week.
The Board of Regents approved a proposal last week to create a degree-granting program in museum studies at UNM.
I applaud the idealistic kids taking part in the “Occupy ABQ” movement, and I stand with them in their efforts to create a more equitable future for everyone. The complaints that they lack cohesiveness or any specific agenda are utterly irrelevant.
