The Aux Dog Theatre is making a career of being as edgy and dark as it can. Although with all the shock value available on the bottomless pit of the Internet or unapologetically vile television, it doesn’t always seem to have the desired effect. Not that “Coming Attractions” by Ted Tally is irrelevant.
Editor, One of the definitions for the word “respect” is “the condition of being esteemed or honored.” Are women treated with “respect” in this society? You do not need but two eyes to see women walking around campus practically naked.
Editor, Ali Abunimah recently spoke at UNM to promote the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) of Israel.
Editor, Long live the Lobos! Yes, I hope our football team can somehow rise to victory. But what I’m talking about is the actual lobo, living here in New Mexico.
Editor, Why don’t we give the Lobo football the team the opportunity to invite other state schools for an exhibition game to run up its record?
The UNM football team has two home games left and maybe one last chance to avoid a looming possibility: an 0-12 season. The Lobos host Wyoming on Saturday at University Stadium, before heading to Air Force and BYU and returning home to host national powerhouse TCU at the season finale. Head coach Mike Locksley said UNM’s winless streak is a result of inconsistency. “It’s tough to deal with,” he said.
It’s early-season college baseball’s version of the Fall Classic. The UNM baseball team concluded its Cherry-Silver World Series on Thursday after a three-game set at Lobo Field. Despite losing the first two games, the Silver squad won Game 3 7-5.

Journalist Gwen Ifill will stop by KNME this weekend to lend insight into Tuesday’s midterm elections. Ifill, host of PBS’ Washington Week, will also discuss politics and the state of journalism on the public access station Saturday. Joan Rebecchi, KNME communication manager, said the station invites celebrities throughout the year to boost donations, and event ticket sales have spiked, with VIP tickets sold out. “Any time we hold these events, our donor numbers increase,” she said. Gene Grant from KNME’s New Mexico in Focus, will ask Ifill questions to start the night, followed by audience questions, Rebecchi said. Afterward, she said Ifill will sign copies of her book, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, at the UNM Bookstore. In a 2009 interview with The New York Times, Ifill said her book focuses on African-Americans and the progress they’ve been afforded by past generations’ sacrifices.

The test run is done. And guess what? Thanks to a near-capacity student section, The Pit is still deafening and obnoxious to play in. Eastern New Mexico University was the first victim Tuesday night, as the UNM men’s basketball team opened the renovated Pit by holding off a smaller, yet pesky, squad 80-58 in the first of two home exhibition games for the Lobos. Head coach Steve Alford said the only thing he didn’t like was UNM’s free-throw shooting.

Start exploring career options at today’s career fair hosted by the UNM Office of Career Services. Jenna Crabb, Career Services director, said fewer recruiters will attend this year’s fair, because employers must now pay registration fees. During the past four years, the United States Office of Personnel Management covered costs, she said. Crabb couldn’t say how many fewer recruiters will be at this year’s fair, but that shouldn’t discourage students from attending the Public Service Career Showcase. “We have some great companies that are coming,” she said. “There are great opportunities that exist within these sectors for students.” Thirty-one employers will be on hand, including representatives from Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, Drug Enforcement Agency, the National Security Administration, the American Red Cross and many others. To help students prepare for the career fair, the UNM Office of Career Services hosted workshops designed to improve students’ resumes and interviewing skills. Crabb said many of the companies attending today’s fair will conduct interviews Friday at the Career Services offices in the Student Services Center.
