Editor, To the PIRG member on campus who asks if I can “spare a moment for the environment/social justice/health care reform”: You’ve just asked me a very interesting question.
Editor, I am currently a student at UNM and I am outraged with the Daily Lobo’s coverage of the recent tragic death of one of our professors.
Editor, I am writing now because my words have become the only outlet for my grief. Tuesday night, skimming through the banality of the Internet, I suddenly found a headline describing the murders of Professor Hector Torres and UNM graduate student Stefania Gray.
University President David Schmidly announced guidelines on Tuesday for UNM’s budget reduction. The reduction in the University’s budget is in response to the New Mexico Legislature reducing state appropriations, including branch campuses, by 7.7 percent, totaling more than $25 million. Schmidly said at the Board of Regents meeting Monday that last year’s hiring pause and hold for vacant positions will remain.
For those students in the education programs at either CNM or UNM, life just got easier. On March 3, representatives from UNM and CNM matched up classes between early childhood education and special education to help students transfer easier between the two schools. Chris Larrañaga, senior adviser in Early Childhood Education at UNM, said the agreement will help students at CNM save time when figuring out how to finish up their last two years at UNM in the early childhood program.
Amid a bleak job market, the Career Services Center is striving to help UNM students strengthen their résumés and prepare for the workforce. Jenna Crabb, director of the CSC, said 2,500 students visited the center last year. “Students walk in the door and kind of don’t know where to begin — that’s what we do.
UNM students will soon have the chance to influence how the federal government doles out billions of dollars. The U.S.
LAS VEGAS — In the city of one-night stands, the UNM men’s basketball team’s relationship with the Mountain West Conference Tournament is promiscuously quick.
There’s a template for the UNM-Utah women’s basketball game. This one, more or less, was a reproduction of the teams’ past encounters — a loosely officiated, rough-and-tumble, fast-paced contest. But, as has become an enduring trend, the Lobos ducked out in the second round of the Mountain West Conference tournament on Wednesday at the Thomas & Mack Center, falling short to the Utes for the eighth consecutive time, 51-45. Utah skidded by in overtime, compliments of a coffin-sealing 3-pointer by Kalee Whipple after the Lobos trimmed the deficit to 44-43.
There is something about the word kinky that makes me blush every time I say it. It’s a great word.
I have never seen anything quite like “Sweetgrass,” the new documentary premiering Sunday at the Guild Cinema.
You don’t need tobacco to smoke at this hookah lounge. The Terrene Cafe and Hookah Lounge, on Vassar Drive, is the only hookah lounge in Albuquerque to use tea shisha instead of tobacco shisha.
Las Vegas, Nev. — Something oddly familiar lurked in the Thomas & Mack Center on Wednesday. For the few Lobos fans who filtered into the men’s No.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The opening round of the men’s Mountain West Conference tournament began on Wednesday with the two lowest seeds, Wyoming and Air Force, trying to earn a chance to face MWC regular-season champion New Mexico on Thursday. Meanwhile, in the quarterfinals of the MWC women’s tournament are set and No.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. — In order to make a big run in the postseason, the UNM women’s basketball team had to first make a little one. And the Lobos can thank second-year guard Sara Halasz and post player Valerie Kast for the nice little flicker they provided. Halasz helped UNM defeat Colorado State 67-54 in the first round of the Mountain West Conference Tournament on Tuesday.
The Student Fee Review Board made several policy changes at a meeting Saturday, allowing it more flexibility and power when distributing student fees. The board approved amendments to its policy making it possible to take an organization — like Athletics or Student Health and Counseling — off recurring-funding status. SFRB Chair Lissa Knudsen said some situations might make it unnecessary to give money to certain recurring-funding organizations. “If we get universal health care, then we maybe wouldn’t need to fund Student Health and Counseling,” she said at a February meeting. Before the amendments, the SFRB could only promote groups to recurring-funding status.
At first glance, Self Serve might look like a boutique for vintage clothes, but it’s stocked with vibrators, rental porn, lubes and condoms. Warm-colored walls of red, brown, purple and green give the single-room sex shop its intimate feel.
The UNM community is mourning the loss of two colleagues, professor Hector Torres and graduate student Stefania Gray, who were found murdered at a residence near campus on Monday.
Medical schools are taking one step forward and three steps back in educating future doctors. Mayo Medical School announced in late February their collaboration with Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication to give doctors the upper hand when distributing medical information.
UNM students said a 75 cent tax increase on cigarettes won’t be driving them to Nicorette any time soon. The state legislature passed a 75 cent increase to the current 91 cent cigarette tax last week, bringing the overall tax to a $1.61 per pack.
