Editor, What kind of leader would you like to be? Our involvement in Libya may not seem related to the health of our planet, but it brings up interesting issues.
Editor, If you truly desire happiness, become aware of what is truly happening in each moment. Immerse yourself in that and deal with it as best as you can and leave everything else to whatever is the Source of All That Is. Our species has two choices: 1) Refuse to mature to our potential, continue to divide into warring camps and play the juvenile game of “win/lose,” which makes us all losers and ensures that our species cannot survive.
Editor, I’m writing the nearly identical letter to one I wrote several years ago when a previous University president, upon announcing a tuition increase, earnestly commented that ”UNM really is a bargain — cheaper than most of its comparable state universities.” The problem with this statement, repeated over and over again by university administrators, is that New Mexico was, and still is, one of the poorest states in the union with high unemployment levels, even in good times. Furthermore, most of our employed citizens earn less for comparable jobs than their peers in other states.
The UNM men’s soccer team is doing its own version of spring training. The Lobos will play two exhibition games Sunday against Fort Lewis at 10 a.m.
The Bracketbusters are breaking down college basketball’s classist narrative. Little attention has been devoted to the Connecticut-Kentucky Final Four matchup, so much diverted to the little guys’ coming-of-age.
by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu UNM community members will remember student Beatrice Dominguez-Meiers’ life at a memorial service Saturday morning. Her son, James Meiers, said his mother was dedicated to serving people until the very end. “It wasn’t until the last couple of months where she really got so sick that she couldn’t help people,” he said.
Students may have to wait nearly three months to get an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnosis and prescription from Student Health and Counseling.

Albuquerque has an undiscovered world of food challenges. And at places that you’d least expect.
“It’s a seven-pound stuffed sopapilla, dude.” “I realize that, Zach.” Zach Gould was the photographer who first embarked on the Albuquerque Food Challenge project.

Editor, During my work this legislative session as an Environment New Mexico intern, I saw firsthand an array of attacks undertaken against environmental regulations.
Editor, Joachim Oberst’s recent letter to the Daily Lobo demonstrated an admirable skill with prose and a remarkable ignorance regarding nuclear power and the Egyptian-style revolution he calls for.
Editor, First off, I’d like to thank Rep. Joseph Dworak for his words of opposition to ”mud-slinging” in campaigns.
UNM Battle of the Bands is not a win-at-all-costs affair, but an avenue for creating alliances. The battle showcases up-and-coming students who have less performance opportunities than established bands, said Bryan Jurus, director of Student Special Events.
UNM head football coach Mike Locksley will have a lot less to take to the bank if he’s let go at the end of the season or in the future. The Albuquerque Journal reported Wednesday that the third-year head coach signed a contract addendum Feb. 28 that reduces his buyout from $1.095 million to $450,000 if the University severs ties with him without cause after the 2011 season. Athletics Director Paul Krebs told the Journal that the restructured deal made “economic sense.” Locksley also stands to benefit from the renegotiated terms. If the Lobos win six games this season, Locksley gets a $50,000 incentive. The revised contract also gives him more wiggle room if he leaves the University on his own volition or for another coaching opportunity.
UNMH reviewed its security policy after a Jan. 4 shooting incident, but the hospital didn’t make changes to its policy.
