The Daily Lobo wants you to enjoy the last remaining days of the heat we have grown to detest by doing something fun for you, and for your wallet. After a search on the good old Internet, we have compiled a list of free events that you can check out.
Chris Jennell, a body piercer at Evolution Inc, said he learned to perform cutting because he likes blood. “Blood is cool, we’re all full of it, nobody sees enough of it,” he said. “We’re one of the most reserved people as far as modification.
Recent budget cuts have left graduate students with fewer options for student employment and loans, but a UNM initiative aims to help them counteract these setbacks. The Graduate Student Funding Initiative (GSFI) offers nearly 50 educational sessions to help students identify sources of funding, prepare résumés and build budgets.
While dozens of on-campus skateboarders roll by pedestrians on their way to class every day without incident, occasional accidents do occur.
Local author and historian Orlando Romero, who spoke at UNM last week, told students they would do well to take a lesson from activists of the 60s.
Last week, I read in the Daily Lobo that college students are more likely to get a DWI. I thought to myself that college students have always been more likely to get a DWI. The article addressed a lot of reasons why, like this is the first time that college students are away from home, and so on.
Editor, I have a couple of things I want to say in reference to Thursday’s front-page article, “Professors Rate RateMyProfessor.” The kinds of students who leave comments on RateMyProfessor.com probably fall into one or more of three categories: The first is the kind of student that I and all instructors dread: They don’t want to work, have a ridiculous sense of entitlement and throw hissy fits when they don’t get their way.
The UNM men’s soccer team has only allowed two goals this season — but there could have been nine more if it wasn’t for Victor Rodriguez. Rodriguez’s efforts have helped the Lobos earn a 4-0-1 record through the first five games of the season.
It took the Lobos men’s soccer team just over a minute and a half to do what they had failed to accomplish for the entire game prior.
The UNM volleyball team is finally over the tournament hump. The Lobos won their first tournament of the season at the Comcast/Sheraton Lobo Invitational over the weekend, going 3-0 against UC Irvine, Portland State and Montreal. In two previous tournaments the Lobos had failed to finish first, but head coach Jeff Nelson said everything came together this time around.
The UNM community, along with the rest of the nation, watched in shock 10 years ago as terrorists attacked the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon on Sept. Classes were canceled and students crowded around television screens at the Frontier Restaurant and Saggios, according to the Sept. 12, 2001 issue of the Daily Lobo. “It’s hard to offer the University’s reaction to Tuesday morning’s events, but I think everyone feels the same way — this is one of the most enormous human tragedies ever in our history,” said the former-UNM President Bill Gordon the day after the attacks.
The tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks is nearly upon us, and the tragedy’s profound effects on our national psyche still linger. Among the most pronounced of these, I think, is the collective negative opinion our country has of Islam. This phenomenon is evident every day on the 24-hour news stations.
It’s an early March morning in New York. I’m standing on the corner of Vesey and Church streets in the shadow of a church that the travel guides tell me has seen a lot in its 200-plus-year history, but I’m more interested in the construction site across the street.
Editor, As our nation prepares to remember the tragedy of Sept. 11th, 2001, I would like to share some of my own thoughts and perspectives.
For the UNM volleyball team, the third time will hopefully be the charm. After losses in the championship matches against Nebraska and Northern Arizona University (NAU) in each of the team’s first two tournaments, the Lobos host the Comcast/Sheraton Lobo Invitational this weekend as they try to win their first tournament of the season.
The Lobo football team is going to have the biggest challenge of its early season this weekend. UNM travels to Little Rock, Ark., on Saturday to take on No. 14 Arkansas Razorbacks. “Our team is excited about having a chance to play a team like Arkansas,” head coach Mike Locksley said. “We expect it to be hot, we expect it to be humid and we expect a great atmosphere for football.”
The UNM men’s soccer team will try to continue its undefeated season this weekend when the team hosts the TLC Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Lobo Invitational. The Lobos are 2-0-1 this year and take on Ivy League powerhouse Columbia University on Friday before facing California State Northridge on Sunday. “We have had a good start to the season,” forward Devon Sandoval said.
Some UNM students say websites like ratemyprofessor.com (RMP) are useful for helping them choose which instructors to take classes with, but faculty argue that the system isn’t as useful as it seems.
Despite stores such as Borders and Newsland closing up shop, UNM’s Zimmerman Library still has plenty of chapters left in an increasingly digital world. UNM Libraries associate dean Nancy Dennis said that 1.8 million people visited UNM’s four libraries last year, and Zimmerman topped the list. “We’re already seeing gate counts here in Zimmerman of over 6,000 people a day,” Dennis said. “It’s a little bit more than last year, but it’s a very busy place.”
A Sept. 4 Albuquerque Journal article entitled Interim Provost Chaouki Abdallah’s efforts to reorganize the Provost’s Office a “cost saving plan” that had “backfired,” but Abdallah said his plans have worked as he expected. Abdallah sent out a University-wide e-mail Wednesday in hopes of telling his side of the story.
