Players, public should be easier on ref

I heard a lot of scathing comments from fans Sunday night regarding Mohamed Ibrahim, the center referee for Sunday night’s NCAA men’s soccer tournament second round match-up between 10th seed UNM and unseeded Duke.

Desks exemplify wasteful spending

A few semesters ago, in the name of cutting costs, several departments lost their telephones. The rationale was that most communication between professors, students and administrators these days is done by email and phones can be eliminated altogether.

Skate column advocates cavity search and seizure

I am a female UNM student. I also happen to ride my longboard around from time to time. It is much easier to do so during the summer semester because there are fewer people around to clog the sidewalks and to take ransom.

Dr. Peg’s Prescription

I got injured playing defense in recreational soccer last weekend. Fell on my ribs trying — unsuccessfully — to prevent a goal. It got me thinking about pain. Hey, I figured it was better than dwelling on our defeat.

College graduates use knowledge to do evil

Editor, Are most college graduates better world citizens than minimum-wage U.S. workers who never finished high school? No! Most college graduates consume far more, pollute far more, travel far more, cause far more global climate chaos and pay far more federal income tax to wage war!

School work load frightens yet rewards grad student

Ever see a movie where the camera is placed in front of a runaway truck? The careening hunk of metal swerves right and left as your heart hammers in your chest and ends up hitting and covering the camera, with a horrific crunch and squeal, bouncing to a rest while you take a breath. For graduate students, that’s the pace of a semester. This is the part of the semester where I, and probably many other graduate students, have to grit our teeth and think about something else.

Presenting information in a way that clearly answers interesting questions is challenging. Every plot has an implicit question (hypothesis) that it helps you answer.
