The president of one of UNM’s peer institutions is making news by taking a voluntary 4.6 percent pay cut, but President Schmidly contends he’s been there, done that.
Lobos’ coach Ray Birmingham doesn’t give a flying fastball how the UNM baseball team starts. And he shouldn’t. Last year, the Blitzkrieg Lobos whirled through the start of their season like Sherman through the South(west), marching to a 22-3 record.
Mike Locksley couldn’t have waited any longer for the 2010 National Signing Day. In a way, it could be a huge source of redemption for the controversially stricken UNM head football coach, who had a disappointing 1-11 outing in his first year with the Lobos, not to mention a few off-the-field distractions during the 2009 season. Today, Locksley will be able to show Lobo Nation why he was brought to Albuquerque by Athletics Director Paul Krebs to coach the Lobos: his ability to recruit and recruit top-tier players, at that. As of Tuesday night, several outlets, including Scout.com and ESPN.com, projected which players would sign with the Lobos, based off of prior verbal commitments. In all, Locksley unofficially has 15 recruits, which includes two transfer players, though three other players will likely sign with UNM. For Locksley, National Signing Day is one of the most significant days for a head coach, because it becomes a game of supply-and-demand. “With every year, you lose a set of players that have been in your system,” he said.
Expecting top-six results from a bottom 10 football program is blissfully ignorant. Fair or not, given his recruiting acumen, that’s exactly what some fans expect from Lobo football head coach Mike Locksley. Heralded as the No.
The emphasis for UNM head baseball coach Ray Birmingham this year is pitching nothing more, nothing less. Under Birmingham in the last two seasons, the Lobos had a high-scoring offense.
News story not widely picked up in the U.S.: On Jan. 13 of this year, Mexican newspaper El Universal published a story titled “Europa acusa a OMS de ‘inflar’ epidemia” or “Europe accuses WHO of ‘inflating’ epidemic.” The gist of the story is that the European Union says the World Health Organization exaggerated the risks of swine flu.

UNM’s most effective and diverse teaching methods will be showcased Thursday in the SUB. “Sharing Best Practices: Culture and Identity” is a first-ever seminar highlighting UNM’s methods in teaching a diverse student body, said Jennifer Gomez-Chavez, director of Title V, an organization co-hosting of the event. “The whole focus of (the seminar) is to really celebrate how we recruit and retain our faculty, students and staff,” Gomez-Chavez said. She said UNM is a national leader in the area of campus diversity. “UNM serves as a national model for other universities, and they look toward UNM to figure out how they can work with their students from underrepresented populations,” she said.
