The Faculty Senate unanimously approved a proposal to create a dental medicine department at UNM. UNM’s dental medicine programs are under the Health Science Center’s Department of Surgery but have grown large enough to need their own department, the proposal said. Most University Health Science Centers already have a dentistry department, UNM Chief of Dental Services Gary Cuttrell said. “We’re just bringing UNM’s health sciences up to the standard of most health science centers with a department of dentistry,” he said. Faculty Senate President-elect Tim Ross said UNM should have a dentistry department because dental hygiene programs don’t belong under a surgery department. “There’s already a dentistry sciences program, and for years it’s existed under the Department of Surgery at UNM …,” he said.

Editor, The only vending machine in Woodward Hall has been out of order for three weeks now. There is no number listed on the machine to report problems, and obviously, no one is even coming to stock it. It is drawing electricity, keeping the overpriced Pepsi beverages nice and cold.
Editor, It seems to me that far too many human beings have stopped being aware that we are imperfect and thus subject to saying and doing things, at times, that are not consistent with our basic characters.
