Censorship masks racism reality

This column reflects the views solely of the author, not the Daily Lobo editorial board. Who are the offensive, anonymous commenters, and why delete comments? The standard answers are they’re a-holes, and the comments are unnecessarily offensive. Aside from being dismissive, the standard answers are superficial and uninteresting.

Coaches' rivalry overhyped despite blowout in San Diego

Without Stephen Strasburg, the pitcher Lobo head coach Ray Birmingham once said was rumored to be worth $25 million, San Diego State is worth all of 25 bucks. The Lobos took the rubber match 20-8 Sunday at Tony Gwynn Stadium, snatching two of three games from the Aztecs over the weekend — this coming after the Lobos withered rather embarrassingly on national television Friday night, suffering their first shutout since April 17, 2009.

Winds tear facility, raise safety concerns

Whipping winds and otherwise inclement weather tore a hole in the fabric of the UNM Football Indoor Practice Facility Thursday, calling into question the safeness of the Lobos’ structure after a report back in January said there were flaws in the design of UNM’s $7 million facility. The Lobos’ facility was evaluated by Chavez-Grieves Consulting Engineers Inc., a local engineering firm, after the Dallas Cowboys’ facility collapsed during a thunderstorm back in May 2009.

SDSU stands in the way of a shot at regionals

If San Diego State head baseball coach Tony Gwynn is considered one of the greatest batters in the history of MLB, that doesn’t mean his knack for clubbing balls has suddenly transferred to his players.

Custodians awarded for lighting up lives

Instead of lighting up the night, the Luminaria Awards will light up the faces of four appreciated members on the UNM janitorial staff. The Office of Equity and Inclusion will have its first-ever Luminaria Awards Dinner tonight in the SUB, where the University will recognize the services of people who have gone above the call of duty in promoting diversity and support.  “There was a sentiment raised that some diversity efforts hadn’t been recognized to the degree that we should be recognizing them,” said Jozi De Leon, vice president of Equity and Inclusion. De Leon said the department decided to find a way to acknowledge more members of the UNM community, including the evening janitorial team for the Castetter Hall, Marron Hall and the Communications and Journalism Building. “They are a great representation of exactly what everyone around campus should be doing,” she said.
