No stall doors in restroom potential health and safety standard violation Male students and employees are paying for “illicit sexual activity” that occurred a dozen years ago in the men’s bathroom near the north entrance of Popejoy Hall. The Physical Plant Department administration removed stall doors from the bathroom in the late ‘90s after reports of criminal sexual activity, said Gary Smith, associate director of Environmental Services at PPD. “The reason the doors were taken down was because of the illicit sexual activity that took place in there,” he said “The new art building is the same way because apparently (the) same things happened there.”

Editor, I’m writing in response to Donald Gluck’s letter to the editor titled “PIRG has leftist agenda, should not be allocated fees.” Improving health, protecting our environment, high-quality education, safety, etc., are not left or right issues.

Unfortunately, at the conclusion of Saturday’s Thanksgiving Midtown Tournament, the UNM women’s basketball team (4-2) wasn’t able to say “Winner, winner — turkey dinner!” University of Toledo’s (5-2) menacing zone was the brainteaser the Lobos could never decipher, especially at the tail end of the game, resulting in a 62-56 loss for UNM.
Opposites might attract, but it was fatal attraction for the UNM football team and head coach Mike Locksley when the Lobos faced TCU on Saturday. The Horned Frogs (12-0 overall, 8-0 in the MWC), at the other end of the spectrum record-wise, trounced the Lobos (1-11 overall, 1-7 in the MWC), 51-10, in Fort Worth, Texas, capturing the Mountain West Conference championship outright and getting a bid for a Bowl Championship Series game.

Head coach Jeff Nelson said his team earned the distinction. “We’re so thankful to the NCAA Selection Committee for putting us back into the tournament after a little bit of a drought,” he said.

You may have heard of Brandon Jennings. He was a standout high school point guard from Compton, Calif., averaging more than 30 points and seven assists his senior year and winning a truckload of awards along the way.
