Albuquerque cyclists might have a little more spring in their step after Self Serve’s third annual Pornotopia, which played at the Guild Cinema over the weekend. This year’s festival featured films from Bike Porn, a touring show of amateur videos submitted to curator Reverend Phil, who compiles the footage.
Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson has favored legalization of marijuana since he held office before Bill Richardson. Johnson, a Republican, was an advocate for drug policy reform and decriminalization of marijuana while he served as governor from 1994 to 2002.
UNM President David Schmidly is recommending changes in Human Resources and University Counsel policies in light of the media outcry after head football coach Mike Locksley’s Sept. 20 physical altercation and the investigation that followed.

Artists seldom share a gallery, so when seven do, and they do it well, something special is going on. The show, titled “I Always Know What to Say,” features the work of seven students in an advanced interdisciplinary studio class. The exhibit will be in the John Sommers Gallery, on the second floor of the Art Building, until Friday.
Colleen Massari is a fine arts major at UNM, double majoring in photography and Spanish. New Mexico’s landscape drives her to photography, and she aims to do something novel with her nature-oriented work.
That’s all, folks. Eastern New Mexico had a puncher’s chance that is, until the UNM women’s basketball team threw a haymaker. The Lobos manhandled the Zias in their lone exhibition game, 100-52. Although the dress rehearsal is supposed to be easy, head coach Don Flanagan said he saw things that needed some tweaking before the Lobos’ regular season-opener on Friday against Northern Colorado. “I am probably going to get a little bit negative now,” Flanagan said.
Editor, As we are moving to the close of another semester, I want to mention a few things to my fellow UNM students.
Editor, I witnessed Elizabeth Lambert’s thuggery in the women’s soccer match between UNM and BYU in the Mountain West Conference Tournament, and I am incensed.
Editor, I would first like to offer my deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones at the recent Fort Hood shooting.
Michael Green showed Lobo fans what’s left in the tank for the UNM men’s soccer team next year. Green, a sophomore, showed the Lobos won’t be without talent next season, even though UNM is losing five seniors, all of whom played their last home game on Saturday during Senior Night at the UNM Soccer Complex.
Fact: The UNM football team is 0-9, and it’s not fine. Solution: Well, other than consider scheduling YAFL teams, there might not be one. Unfortunately for the Lobos, their final three games don’t get any easier.
Saturday was a night to remember for the UNM volleyball team. Not only did the Lobos bid a fond farewell to seniors Anna Lehne, Rose Morris and Allie Suiter, who were playing in their final home matches, but the team also avenged an earlier 3-0 loss to BYU, this time coming out on top 25-23, 25-17, 25-23 at Johnson Gym. With the win, UNM moved into fourth place in Mountain West Conference race at 18-8 overall and 9-5 in conference.
The UNM women’s tennis team showed noticeable improvement this weekend at the Southwest Collegiate Invitational at the UNM Tennis Complex. Despite being hampered by injuries to junior Ashley Bonner and freshman Amy Shipperd, the Lobos had a combined 17 wins.
Thank you, Kit Vela, for your part in making the UNM women’s soccer team look like a bunch of ragamuffin delinquents. All that the Lobos accomplished this season has been overshadowed by the debacle that went down in Provo, Utah, on Saturday. Elizabeth Lambert will be ascribed a reputation that likely isn’t “indicative of her character” or what she necessarily deserves.
Lobo soccer player Elizabeth Lambert snuck her attacks past officials for the majority of the game against BYU on Thursday.
Editor, What are we teaching at UNM? Morals and ethics are obviously not a priority. I say this because the examples being shown by the UNM administration seem to promote bad behavior.
Editor, This letter is to Elizabeth Lambert. I am an athlete at BYU. I was watching the game and saw what you did; it made me angry.
Editor, As an alumnus of UNM, I am disappointed by the lack of support that UNM has given Elizabeth Lambert.
Editor, If Techno Man has the right to play his boom box, I want to play my boom box with my awesome, wonderful and great music just as loud as he plays his not-so-very-good music.
Daily Lobo: What are you studying at UNM? Jessica Ortega: I’m going to study to be a teacher. DL: So you’re in education? JO: Not yet, but I’m planning on getting into it. DL: OK, cool.
