Thanks to the results of a recently released survey conducted by UNM admissions, there is now evidence that reinforces one of the obvious pluses freshmen can expect when they come to UNM: Albuquerque is bustling with things for them to do.
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta rode its last high at its 2009 event. The fiesta started in 1971, but the Albuquerque Balloon Committee decided the festival was too much of a hassle. In a statement released Monday, the Board of Directors cited “not wanting to wake up so early 10 days in a row and realizing that it’s just not worth all the sleep-loss,” as the driving force behind the decision. The board conducted a survey of about 15,000 attendees, all of which said they were probably too busy this year to go to the balloon fiesta.
In a $1.4 million study released by GPSA, the toilet paper in the administrative building is found to be the best throughout the entire University. According to the study, the bathroom tissue is described to “hug your bottom.” The study stemmed from University-wide departments’ complaints about instances when they’ve had to go without t.p.
The University of New Mexico Athletics Department prefers “winners at heart,” rather than actual proven winners. In a bizarre turn of events, Athletics Director Paul Krebs has allowed the unthinkable to happen. UNM head men’s basketball coach Steve Alford was fired on Wednesday because of a lack of success in his three years in Albuquerque.
Mike Locksley fainted in disbelief when the NCAA announced results of a comprehensive review of the Lobos’ dismal season. “OMG!
The silence is over. UNM women’s soccer coach Kit Vela granted an in-depth, exclusive interview with the Daily Bobo after five months of absence from the media rounds about the events surrounding Elizabeth Lambert’s outburst in Provo, Utah.
This week, DNA paternity tests confirmed recent rumors that UNM mascot Bobo Louie is not the biological father of UNM mascot Bobo Lucy’s litter of pups.
Campus Briefs UNM Student still doing that thing with his tongue In what area observers are calling “unsettling,” “awkward,” and “just perverse,” the guy in the SUB is still doing that thing with his tongue.
After 121 years, the UNM officially changed its name to the University of Notable Moneysuckers. More than 75 percent of University students petitioned the legislature to change the University’s name to a more appropriate slogan that reflects its mission. Student James Joons, organizer of the event, said he gathered more than 500 pages of signatures in a petition, presented to the legislature, from supporting students, staff and faculty.
I’m a little teapot, Short and stout, Here is my handle. Here is my spout. When I get all steamed up, The bubbles of hate and heat rise violently within me. The pain is overwhelming. I squeal a glottal banshee bleat, A piercing massacre of my state of matter … of my soul. We are all familiar with this teenage emo, diary poetry version of the nursery song “I’m a little tea pot,” but until last Wednesday never has the boiling point it describes been so real.
It’s been four days since UNM repealed its “dry campus” rules, and the Daily Bobo still can’t find a single sober person to interview. “Issshh ‘cuz we’re all- all are celebratin!” said Petey “Taz” Radisson, a drunk student.
Because everyone and everything seems to gravitate toward the Duck Pond, Daily Bobo editor-in-chief Eva Avenue got to wondering what’s at the bottom.
Editor, You should include more coverage on the themes of isolation and preserving desperation in “Bartleby, the Scrivener” and if you could do it sometime before the end of the week that would be even better. Not an English Student, Mateo Pizo Editor, I demand to know why you have yet to review the instant classic, “Mega Shark v.
Editor, It’s publications like the Daily Bobo that are contributing to the decline of journalism as the world knows it.
Editor, As a non-native New Mexican coming from Ohio, I am offended by the spiciness of your “chili.” How is anyone expected to put something that spicy in their mouth and enjoy it?
Editor, I am outraged at what you call a publication. The Daily Bobo is nothing more than fuel for the trash fire.
Editor, After attending a recent freshmen Bobo orientation, I noticed that the only thing served for lunch when my parents came was Mexican food.
Editor, I am graduating soon and while college and educational experiences were often positive, there is significant fault at hand.
Editor, The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs’ recent recommendation to President David Schmidly and the UNM Board of Regents to ignore the Student Fee Review Board’s requests for the allocation of student fees in the upcoming school year undermines UNM’s stated missions and threatens the long-term viability of the University as a whole. UNM created the SFRB to ensure that students in particular, and program staff and community members generally, would have a say in how student monies are spent and that student fees would be dispensed in an open, transparent, carefully considered and democratic manner. This decision disregards the student and community voice by including a recommendation to cut all student funding for the Research Service Learning Program, Community Learning and Public Service, New Mexico Public Interest Research Group and a suspension of plans to fund the student’s request for a Queer Resource Center. The funding approvals now under consideration by President Schmidly and the Board of Regents are about far more than finances, budgetary restraints or keeping student fees low.
When Marc Smith’s name is mentioned at a poetry slam, the audience is supposed to shout, “Who cares!” So who cares that Smith, said to be the originator of the slam poetry art form, is coming to Albuquerque on Thursday? Albuquerque cares, said Danny Solis, Albuquerque Slam Poet Laureate. “Albuquerque loves poetry and the poetry slam, and Marc Smith is the founder of the poetry slam,” he said.
