Chief justice remembered

Eighteen years ago, a man accused of armed aggravated assault found himself in front of then District Court Justice Gene Franchini. The state legislature had recently passed a mandatory one-year sentence for all crimes involving a gun, and the man — who in an act of road rage threatened a fellow driver with a pistol — was the sole breadwinner for his family.

Women's soccer player suspended indefinitely

It didn’t happen in a dimly lit meeting room, and fans don’t need handwritten testimony to know what happened. It’s perfectly clear what Elizabeth Lambert did. The UNM soccer player threw punches and pulled the hair of her opponents during a match Thursday, and for this she is suspended indefinitely, head coach Kit Vela said in a statement released on Friday.

Lawsuits filed over professor posing on sex site

Two professors have filed lawsuits against the University in yet another chapter of the story that has plagued the creative writing program since associate professor Lisa Chavez posed with students on a sadomasochistic Web site. The professors, Teddy and Sharon Warner, who are married, claim University administrators retaliated against them because Sharon has continued to speak out against the University’s handling of the incident.

Outlook bad for both Locksley and Utah game

Advil claims to be the every pain reliever. Extra-strength, Mike Locksley? Nothing can help Locksley’s head pounding anguish, especially considering the UNM football team’s upcoming schedule, let alone the pending litigation which he will surely be served with in the near future for his involvement in a physical altercation with former wide receivers coach J.B.

One man's take on current U.S. sports

Below, for your enjoyment, is my take on what’s going on in the sporting world: MLB I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard someone in Albuquerque call him or herself a “disgruntled sports fan.” I would be a millionaire and give the whole journalism gig up. As a sports reporter, even at the college level, I don’t like to use the old phrase, “I am a fan of so-and-so.” It gets old really fast. Unfortunately for me, it has come to that point. I, a New York Mets fan, didn’t want to see the Phillies advance to and win another World Series, even if it meant the crosstown Evil Empire had to win it all.

Bungles upon bungles in the administrative jungle

Editor, I attended the press conference Wednesday in the Lobo room where Vice President of Human Resources Helen Gonzales interviewed “witnesses” to the “mistake” made by Coach Locksley. A neutral party, outside the Athletics Department, should have done the investigating.

Vandal doesn't understand true meaning of anarchy

Editor, When I looked at the Lobo on Wednesday morning the first thing I saw was the photo of the message from an “anarchist” left on a wall at Smith Plaza. Eager to transfer to UNM, let me say something about myself.

'Techno Guy' has the same rights as everyone else on campus

Editor, The fact that the UNM Techno Guy is not allowed to play music outside the SUB on Tuesdays and Thursdays between his classes is mind blowing. UNM allows monstrous displays of abortion and “James the Apostle” preaching his ideology day after day for the last two weeks, and gives local musicians the opportunity to display their talents by the bronze statues where the sound spills into classrooms. Regardless of what genre of music you prefer, the UNM Techno Guy isn’t disrupting “learning” taking place outside the SUB, but promoting good tunes, great conversation and providing a much-needed break from classes.




	Freshman Jordan Gillespie stands outside her dorm room on the second floor of Coronado Hall on Tuesday. Last Tuesday, an unidentified male broke into three unlocked dorm rooms including Gillespie’s. The “Coronado Creeper” touched Gillespie’s knee and the breast of another resident. UNMPD has identified one suspect in the incident.

Safety an issue after 'Coronado Creeper'

All three of the doors opened by the “Coronado Creeper” last Tuesday night had doorknobs that did not lock automatically. The “Creeper” broke into Coronado Hall and entered three unlocked rooms.


	Athletics Director Paul Krebs, right, answers a reporter’s question during a press conference in the SUB on Wednesday. Krebs, Vice President for Human Resources Helen Gonzales and UNM President David Schmidly sought to clarify the incident involving a physical altercation between head football coach Mike Locksley and assistant coach J.B. Gerald. “We’re embarrassed by the whole situation,” Schmidly said in his opening remarks.

'We bungled,' administrators say

Straight from UNM President David Schmidly: The University of New Mexico “bungled” its investigation into the Sept. 20 physical altercation between first-year head coach Mike Locksley and former wide receivers coach J.B. Gerald. Flanked on the right by Athletics Director Paul Krebs and on the left by Vice President of Human Resources Helen Gonzales, Schmidly repeatedly denied that the University concealed any findings of its investigation.

Practice free speech, but exercise respect, responsibility

Editor, Yes, it’s fun to read the writing of the few sardonic dimwits who write into the Daily Lobo about things that don’t matter and are honestly a waste of our time to read, but the issue is that some people have no respect for others and feel like they can say whatever they want without any reason, and that can often offend people. I first started reading the article, “It’s time for UNM’s fat people to change their ways,” in the Daily Lobo because it looked informative for overweight people to stay healthy or become fit.

Obesity letter should have addressed the real problem

Editor, This is in response to the Victor Murthy column published on Tuesday: I agree with you that obesity and weight-related conditions are a current and future problem here at UNM, but I felt your column attacks the people who are overweight, and not the issue of obesity and weight-related issues directly.
