Where does cannabis come from?

Grads deserve a voice that is proportional to their work

Dear President David Schmidly: I am a graduate student at UNM. I am writing to ask you to please reject the proposed changes to the makeup of UNM’s Student Fee Review Board — that is, amending the current voting student members from three graduates and four undergrads to two grads and seven undergrads.

The best defense is a good offense

The UNM softball team didn’t have an affinity for defense, nor did Colorado State. The Lobos smashed 17 hits — four long balls — en route to Saturday’s 13-7 win against CSU at Lobo Field. Head coach Erica Beach said she expected an offensive battle against the Rams. “That’s how they play the game,” she said.

IT focuses on improving email

Sick of Webmail? IT might have the solution. The IT department sent out requests for proposals this week and hopes to have an executive-level decision on a new email system in August, said Deputy Chief Information Officer Moira Gerety. She said the University’s email system is outdated and not user-friendly. Gerety said the University uses about 25 different email systems, and that she and her team hope to bring this number down to one. She said students should have a new email system within a year. “UNM staff and employees, in particular, were really sort of working around multiple email systems,” she said. “It’s just a pain. They want to be able to bring everybody up, schedule messages and schedule meetings on one email system.” Gerety is co-chairing a committee with Mike Campbell, the director of PC Systems and Support for UNMH. Gerety said this is a collaborative effort, in which departments from across UNM are giving feedback.

NCAA offers redemption

Down doesn’t mean done for the UNM women’s golf team.

Hey, Donald Trump, you’re fired

In the course of celebrity worship, the laughing-stock is a much-examined figure. Whether destitute or tactless, their failings are our greatest entertainment and often a mirror for our own unpublicized shame.
