Editor, The spring 2010 election indicates UNM is heading in a positive direction. As I read the headlines, listened to issues supported by the slates and read about the concerns regarding voter turnout, I was falling fast under the impression that student government issues did not register in the minds of undergrads on the level they should.
On Tuesday, in response to a story in the sports section on Dailylobo.com, someone posted a comment that was legitimately offensive to the African American community.
Editor, In the last several weeks, a strong anti-Israel campaign has been conducted on campus by so-called peace and justice groups, and by UNM’s American Studies department and Peace Studies program.
Editor, A potential new law coming from Maricopa County, Ariz. will make it a crime to be in that county “illegally.” The possible signing of this bill into law says a lot about the state of race relations in America.
Editor, After reading about the incident at La Posada Dining Hall in the Daily Lobo, I couldn’t help but think of the similarities between this story, and the Mike Locksley incident last year. Harassing a co-worker, assault, battery, bullying, a hostile work environment and the police are called in.
Editor, I have deep respect for graduate and professional students. They take their education seriously and they will be leaders that shape our future.
Editor, Some people might think the GPSA election is not important, and therefore, campaign reporting in this election is pointless.
Little-Kid Syndrome persists into adulthood. We’re all guilty of it. At one time or another, we’ve all idolized professional athletes.
It was just that kind of night for the Lobos. Nothing would or wanted to bounce in the UNM baseball team’s favor, even a late Lobo rally in the eighth inning, which ended when Alex Allbritton hit into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded. The Lobos never recovered and faltered at the hands of San Francisco, 9-5, on Tuesday at Isotopes Park. But like an old broken-down record, the pitching kept playing a bad tune. The Lobos substituted three pitchers Jacob Nelson, Gabe Aguilar and Oscar Almeida in the bottom of the sixth inning that resulted in two hits and one run by the Dons. This was before, the fourth pitcher of the inning, Jason Oatman, sat down the last two batters of the San Francisco’s line up.
Like a Halley’s comet sighting, a win for the UNM softball team is a rare occurrence. But in a game that went the distance — all seven innings — the Lobos turned in a less-than meteoric finish, tailing off like a falling star in the speckled horizon.
GPSA Presidential Candidate Martin Gutierrez has received $500 in campaign donations so far, according to data he posted on his website Tuesday evening. Gutierrez posted the information more than 24 hours after the GPSA council passed a resolution encouraging candidates to submit a list of campaign contributions and expenses. He said the report was late for three reasons: First, he said he didn’t receive notice from the council about its recommendation until Monday.
She woke up around 6 a.m., snapped on her fanny pack and when she reached for the cabinet to make a bowl of oatmeal, promptly died, slumped over her walker. Inside the fanny pack were three pictures of her favorite dogs, several revoked driver’s licenses (she was legally blind) and a taped-up card, its lamination peeling at the corners. “My body has been donated to the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Albuquerque, New Mexico,” the card reads.
Discolored water prompted the UNM Physical Plant Department to shut off UNM’s well-water source Tuesday and use city water instead.
Young professionals and students from UNM flocked to meet and mingle with city and state politicians at the Banque Lofts in downtown Albuquerque on Friday night. More than 100 guests attended the young professionals fundraiser for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Lt.
Editor, As a graduate student in statistics at UNM, I was glad to see Monday’s Albuquerque Journal article about the dire situation our program faces. The more coverage of this under-reported problem, the better.
Editor, If you have had an internship before, you know what a valuable learning experience it can be.
Editor, To Andrew Beale: As an American, you are free to express your opinion. However, if you are going to criticize the United States, you should get your facts straight, especially as a journalist.
Editor, So the Tea Baggers are against government spending on health care and social programs. Perhaps at their next protest gathering they would all be willing to sign a form waiving all future social security and Medicare benefits?
Editor, Recently, UNM denied the workers at Mitchell Hall’s Outtakes to collect tips or have a “take a penny.” I was told that UNM couldn’t get 20 percent of the money and therefore the workers can’t keep the tips.
Editor, In today’s GPSA vote there were multiple amendments to the constitution and bylaws. I feel it was unfortunate the current GPSA president and council chair did not clearly outline these amendments prior to the vote.
