Student Liz Caldwell said getting naked isn't always about sex. "Because I'm willing to be nude by nature, people think that I'm supposed to be an exotic person," she said. "I have almost punched people in the face for that and get very adamant about stating that I am not an object of desire. I am an object of art." Caldwell modeled for UNM art classes for four years and now models for artists and studios around town. Finding artistic models can be difficult
The area south of UNM has more crime than on campus, but Albuquerque Police Capt. Murray Conrad said the criminal activity off campus is proportional to the population. Police Beat 323 covers neighborhoods south and east of UNM. There are three beats that cover the University area.
