Editor, I love living naked at home and mostly naked elsewhere, when I am warm enough. My naked, lean, healthy and well-tanned body is my favorite suit.
Editor’s Note: Lobos Abroad is a regular column written by Daily Lobo staff members studying in a different country this semester. One of the hardest parts about living abroad, in my experience, is dealing with homesickness.
Street artists walk a thin legal line by using the world as their canvas Not every shadowy figure prowling Albuquerque’s dark alleys is a money-hungry, petty criminal or a bloodthirsty cop.
Those statues are as confused as you are about the giant silver edifice smack dab in the middle of Cornell Plaza. Betty Sabo and her brother, Gary Beals, are the artists behind “Modern Art,” the display in question.
Patience is for the virtuous. After watching the UNM men’s basketball team play two home exhibitions games at The Pit, it was finally the women’s basketball team’s turn.
Bond D’s defeat at the polls means state educational institutions won’t enjoy a sliver of $155 million — funds UNM intended to use for major capital projects. Raising property taxes would fuel funding, said Terri Cole, president and CEO of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce.
UNM regent Jack Fortner contributed more than $40,000 to Governor-Elect Susana Martinez and was recently appointed to her higher education transition team. Fortner made five contributions totaling $40,250, including a $20,000 donation to Martinez’s campaign just weeks before Election Day.
UNM graduate students won’t accept budget cuts without a fight. Somber, red-clad graduate students lined the back wall of the SUB ballrooms during Tuesday’s Board of Regents meeting and raised signs to contest the current 3.2 percent and proposed 5 percent budget cuts.

Editor In response to Tuesday’s article “Demonstrators condemn homosexuality, Islam,” I am tired of wondering what happened to the “Do unto others” mantra that is so easily dismissed by the endless barrage of so-called Christians who grace us with their presence every handful of months.
Editor, What did Ali Abunimah actually say? The Daily Lobo is yet again filled with debate about the Israel/Palestine conflict. Given the relatively small populations of Israelis, Jews, Arabs and Muslims in our state, it is amazing how much energy this issue generates. This debate came home to us recently as representatives of particular Albuquerque and on-campus Jewish communities objected to the decision by two faculty members, Alex Lubin, chair of American Studies, and Les Field, director of the Peace Studies Program, to sponsor Abunimah’s talk. It should be noted that individuals and groups from Albuquerque’s Jewish communities, as well as the larger community of peace activists, were the people who organized the talk. We defended our scholarly responsibility to host an academic discussion on a controversial subject. Yet in the Daily Lobo opinion section, in news articles and in the comments amended to the online site, it’s difficult to find the substance of Abunimah’s talk. One opinion writer sharply criticized the content of Abunimah’s talk two days before it was delivered!
