BP spill steals cultural heritage from fishermen

Pat Lohmann | August 16

During the Daily Lobo’s three-week break, I grabbed a couple cameras and my notebook and headed down to the Gulf Coast to do a multimedia project on the oil spill (as well as a print piece for another Albuquerque publication). Three friends and I drove the 20-plus hours to Grand Isle, La., one of the hardest-hit coastal towns. The town has only one road, and it’s lined with dozens of houses on stilts, which help to protect the island’s 1,500 residents during hurricane season.

FDA probe could lead to another fallen hero

Isaac Avilucea | July 26

Jumbled in the labyrinth of litigation, among the supposed exposés, and building and falling evidence of admissions and retractions, is the proverbial, high-stakes, good-guys-bad-guys game, one that will be viewed through discriminatory lenses depending on what side of the chicken wire you’re on.

Used bookstores down, but not out

Kevin Jackson | July 26

Twenty years ago, there were dozens of used bookstores surrounding campus. Though that number shrank significantly, there are still a few places where bookworms can go to indulge in their passion for literature. Bird Song, on University Boulevard and Central Avenue, draws dozens of readers looking to buy or sell books while Book Stop, tucked away on the 3000 block of Silver Avenue, is a brick-and-mortar front to an intimate setting. Despite a shrinking market, used bookstore owners remain optimistic about their futures.

Concealed weapons invited out for drinks

Tricia Remark | July 26

A law that went into effect July 1 allows some New Mexicans to carry concealed weapons into restaurants that serve beer and wine. The state has always allowed people with concealed weapons licenses to bring weapons into restaurants that don’t serve alcohol, said George Munoz, the senator who introduced the bill, but there are still no weapons allowed in restaurants with full liquor licenses. Munoz said the law shouldn’t affect any restaurants because one term of the concealed weapons license states that it’s illegal to drink when carrying a gun. “When you have a conceal and carry license, you’re not allowed to consume alcohol.

Construction jams campus traffic

Chelsea Erven | July 26

Back-to-school traffic and parking around UNM’s main campus can be unpredictable, but this August there will be an added complication. Road con­struc­tion in the Yale Boulevard and Las Lomas Road area for the new Yale parking structure will restrict traffic through August 31. The construction will affect North­bound Yale Boulevard between Lomas Boulevard and Las Lomas Road, as well as both lanes of Las Lomas Road between Yale Boulevard and Stan­ford Drive. Parking and Transportation Services recommends that drivers find alternate routes for getting around campus.

Graduation rate at UNM lower than peer schools

Tricia Remark | July 26

Only about 42 percent of UNM students graduate within six years. But there may be several underlying reasons for the less-than-impressive graduation rates, said Wynn Goering, vice provost of Academic Affairs. “One of the things we’ve learned about our students is that they have far more off-campus obligations than students in similar places,” Goering said. UNM students have far different lives compared to students at peer institutions, including the universities of Arizona and Colorado at Boulder, Goering said. According to fall 2009 surveys conducted by UNM, 43 percent of incoming freshmen care for a dependent, compared with only 19 percent of students at other schools.
