“Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens” doesn’t just summarize the innovative efforts of early twentiethcentury photographers to popularize African culture — it recreates them.
Editor, I want to comment on two of the letters in the Feb. 4 opinion section — “9/11 an inside job” and “Daily Lobo a waste of paper” — two letters that, if truly representative of UNM’s student population, would make me ashamed to be a student here. The latter, “Daily Lobo a waste of paper” was just mean-spirited and sweepingly dismissive, because an error or two had slipped into print the entire paper was worthless.
“I hate passwords!” “I hate changing my passwords!” “Yahoo doesn’t make me change my passwords!
Editor, In response to David Luna’s letter in the Lobo on Monday, “UNM should not allow hatemongering on campus:” First off, David, in your letter you said we all understand free speech and freedom to worship, but this doesn’t give us a license to say whatever we want whenever we want. Excuse me, but, yes it does. You also said Shawn the Baptist continued to tell the UNM community, and not just homosexuals this time, that God abhorred them because they were sinners and that they were doomed to spend eternity in hell because of the way they lived their lives.
Tommy Archuleta lives in Santa Fe but still makes his way to Albuquerque three times a week to attend graduate classes and teach creative writing at an Albuquerque high school, Amy Biehl Charter High School.
Ethics, education and budget solutions are the issues that drive state Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Bernalillo.
Sustainable agriculture student Travis McKenzie wasn’t swayed when people told him he should go to NMSU to study agriculture. McKenzie said he has been trying to organize a community garden on campus for the past four years.
After contentious debate, the Student Fee Review Board decided to slightly cut Athletics funding. According to the unofficial SFRB worksheet, 2.2 percent of last year’s funding is being cut — more than $33,000, or $2.32 per full-time student.
The Student Fee Review Board has recommended raising student fees by a little over $10 a year for full-time students. After more than 16 hours holed up in a basement classroom in George Pearl Hall this weekend, the Board emphasized fiscal responsibility when considering requests totaling more than $11 million in hopes of minimizing, and even eliminating, a student fee increase. Every program requesting student fees asked for increased funding over last year — a total requested increase of $1.5 million — and four groups asked for almost $200,000 in new money.
It was an up-and-down weekend for the UNM men’s tennis team. The Lobos opened the weekend with a 6-1 win over No.
Well, the plodding ratings orgy known as the Super Bowl is over. Thankfully, there’s another absurdly over-marketed and borderline exploitive sporting event right around the corner.
It was almost surprising when a 50-something-foot desperation shot from Darington Hobson didn’t drop at the end of regulation, with the game tied at 78. Hobson had set the bar high, sinking an almost identical 55-foot Hail Mary shot as time expired in the first half.
Amid protracted silence, between the echo of the bouncing ball and the time Darington “Butter” Hobson’s first free throw attempt left his fingertips in overtime, a tinge of uncertainty befell the sold out Pit throng. Little did they know — Hobson had been here before. No fans were privy to Hobson’s previous preparation, the countless time he spent after practices, hell-bent on perfecting his free-throw stroke.
About a month ago, Lamaar Thomas was on a football field in Pasadena, Calif., playing in the 2010 Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day.
Editor, On Jan. 28, the Albuquerque Journal ran an article about Mr. Diego Arencon, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 244.
Editor, It’s funny how some of ASUNM Sen. Sean Mallory’s quotes in “ASUNM resolution cites Athletics’ accomplishments” echoes words in an Albuquerque Journal op-ed signed by President David Schmidly – both published Friday. I’m glad that Mallory took my advice that ASUNM should chime in on UNM Athletics.
Editor, I believe it was Spiderman’s dad who said that with great power comes great responsibility.
