There is some good news for the UNM football team this Saturday. Embattled head coach Mike Locksley, who is 1-17 at UNM, hopes to capitalize on the fact that the Lobos are 13-2 since 1996 following their bye week.
“That’s a question for Rocky.” Current head football coach Mike Locksley said it deliberately and repeated it at least three times, hoping to evade inquisitions about the past — and more plainly, his predecessor. But the former coach’s name continues to precede him. Yet in the face of his Long-awaited return to University Stadium, San Diego State’s defensive coordinator, after an 11-year UNM marriage that came to an abrupt, and arguably Rocky, conclusion, is just as reticent to answer questions, much to the media’s displeasure. In keeping with a tradition he started last year, Long isn’t granting interviews this week, an SDSU spokesperson said.
Editor, Can marriage stand the test of time? If you choose to get married before the age of 25, it seems less likely.
As a police officer in two major East Coast cities, I had plenty of dealings with marijuana. I always hated those instances because most of them never should have occurred.

When Roberto Robledo was only 13 years old, he made his first pair of “sicodelico” style boots in his father’s boot shop in Juárez, Mexico. “In Mexico, if a family owns a boot shop, it means everyone in that family knows how to make shoes and boots, especially my parents are from León Guanajuato,” Robledo said.
Family Studies junior Deanna Tompkins came to UNM from Denver on a Daniels Scholarship, which she said is hard to get. She works in African-American Student Services (the Afro) and mentors girls by building their spirits and teaching them how to set goals and put community events together. She said the Afro feels like a home away from home. “I don’t have any family here. I just have myself and whatever friends I’ve acquired along the way,” she said. Tompkins has been in the foster care system since she was 8 years old, but now she’s movin’ and groovin’ to the song of her own independence. It’s where she gets her passion for social work.

The on-campus LGBTQ resource center is hosting a forum today to counteract the effects of cyber bullying on gay and lesbian students. David Griffith, a program assistant at LGBTQ, said the forum will examine the community impact of technology as a tool for bullying. “I’ m sure UNM is not as bad as a lot of colleges across the United States, but there are definitely still issues that are present, and there are members of the UNM community that have faced these issues before,” Griffith said. The all-inclusive forum will take place in SUB Ballroom C from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Students on the panel will share their experiences about facing discrimination, and people can talk to counselors and get information about on-campus and community resources. Griffith said the forum will give students an outlet to express concerns so they don’t fall victim to tragedies like that of first-year Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi.

The first track on the Noms’ new EP, Choices, promises “Good, Good Times.” The Noms deliver on this guarantee, but the album unfortunately doesn’t offer enough choices. The band provides enjoyable country-twinged indie rock in the vein of Ben Harper or Jack Johnson.

Editor, If you asked me a week ago what topic I would most likely write about in a letter to the editor, my reply would have probably been something about the epidemic of LGBTQI suicides, the UNM budget cuts, or Susana Martinez’s confusing politics.
Editor, While many American citizens are baffled at the anger of the Muslim world toward the U.S. government — not the Muslim people — the stalled peace process in the Middle East is instructive. The Israeli government claims that it wishes to see the creation of a Palestinian state, but at the same time, it refuses to stop the construction of new settlements.
Editor, Not only did Republican gubernatorial candidate Susana Martinez or her representatives not attend UNM’s Forum on Higher Education, apparently she lacks college-level language skills as well.
