Doing it in the Duke City - May 6

What’s the best kind of study break you could possibly take? The kind where you get laid. And taking a break in your bed might actually help you in your studying and final-taking efforts. An Arizona State University study showed that women who had regular satisfying sex and were given physical affection showed lower levels of stress and were able to be more positive the next day.

Willy J and the Storytellers gel well

Expressing oneself with words is one thing. Expressing yourself on the drums or guitar is another. Even though Alex Bencoe, the lead guitarist for the band Willy J and the Storytellers, doesn’t sing, he said he has found a way to express himself through his instrument and performing with his band, which releases its first CD on May 7. “We can’t put words to how we feel,” he said.

Take a breather

It’s finals. You’re stressed. We get it. The Daily Lobo wanted to give students a couple ideas for places they can go before or in between finals to relax.

Elimination of oil waste rules would be a toxic mistake

Editor, The campaign for the governor’s office has opened with a barrage of words promising to change or eliminate the “pit rule,” a state rule that requires disposal of toxic drilling wastes in certified landfills rather than burial at the drilling site.

UNM puts salary-affecting stipulations on teachers

Editor, I congratulate Professor Melissa Bokovoy for sharing with readers the current state of education at UNM, and in particular, for her solidarity with the “poorly compensated part-time faculty.” I encourage other faculty members and students to publicly share their thoughts and experiences regarding these matters.

Physical Plant waiting on parts to repair 74-year-old elevator

The Scholes Hall elevator has suffered a “catastrophic failure,” Mary Vosevich, director of the Physical Plant, said the wording on the notice plastered throughout the halls of the administrative office building is not meant to be dramatic. “That’s just a term that we use for the elevator that cannot be repaired without procuring some other parts that can’t be bought,” she said.

UNMH fire sparked by flame in smoke stack

It wasn’t a chemical reaction that sent the Biomedical Research Facility into flames early Wednesday morning. According to the Albuquerque Fire Department, a generator tested outside the building, north of UNM Hospital, on the ground level started the blaze. Sam Giammo, spokesman for the Health Sciences Center, said the generator had a stack on it designed to carry fumes out over the top of the building. “It appears that something inside that stack ignited,” he said.

Third time nipping at TCU's heels for No. 1

No, it’s not just Ray Birmingham’s patented hyperbole. By virtue of its 14-3 league record, and storied, year-to-year dominance, TCU is the team to beat in the Mountain West Conference. Not only that, said the Lobos’ head baseball coach. “They very well could be the team to beat in Omaha,” Birmingham said. First, though, the Lobos will take a crack at unseating the Horned Frogs from their proverbial conference lily pad during Friday’s toe-the-rubber matchup, the first in a three-game series between the two conference foes at Isotopes Park. To be assured of first place in the MWC, the Lobos, 30-15 overall and 12-5 in the MWC, must sweep TCU to take over sole possession of first place.

Pacific: The unknown stories of WWII

Since March 14, I have spent my Sundays glued to my 42-inch flat-screen HDTV pretending that I am avoiding Japanese artillery, gunfire, horrendous surroundings and malaria. Well, OK, pretending to be in the horrors of World War II is stretching it a bit.

Opinion

The people with guns will save everyone from the socialists

Editor, I made the point to some of my second-amendment friends that, as a deterrent to federal tyranny, a group of local boys with assault rifles would be no use at all against the invincible technical superiority of American military and law enforcement power.

Walking dead come to life on the dance floor

Gaunt, bloody zombies won’t be seen eating human flesh in a dark room this Friday, but instead dancing around to live music at the Zombie Ball. Kurly Tlapoyawa, owner of local video store Burning Paradise, said Friday’s ball at Burt’s Tiki Lounge will kick off a zombie weekend celebrating the video store’s seven years in business.
