UNM is not doing the right thing by trying to shove a ton of money together for a new men's basketball coach. Already, three top coaches have taken their names off the list of candidates for head coach.
Michael Carrasco for president! He could run on the platform of "Don't worry, be happy!"
After reading the Daily Lobo yesterday, I was reminded of a world leader whose ideals and philosophies are of great pertinence to our world's affairs.
We'd like to share with you two stories about loss - a loss of self, of strength and of a solid foundation where feet are planted and richness is provided for growth.
Call it a righteous victory for all the women out there who don't primp and preen, and for the guys who believe that a five-minute shower is all they need to face the world.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing recently made very bold and praiseworthy remarks in defending China's basic sovereign rights from the hegemonic interests of the United States.
As one might expect, times of crisis affect different groups of people in different ways. For the majority of Americans, the past six months have been a time of feelings of unanimity and an acknowledgment that perhaps there is indeed some evil in the world that should be opposed.
I've been reading lately about Theodor Herzl - you know, the "father" of modern Zionism - and how, in his pre-Zionist days, he had a penchant for writing columns about love.
Fran Fraschilla was not a bad coach, he just didn't fit with the program. It was Rudy Davalos who bought into the Fraschilla hype. Fraschilla is gone and now so are two other potential coaches who both had expressed initial interest, but dropped out after speaking with Davalos.
Two years ago I met with a group in Ciudad Ju†rez called Voces Sin Eco (voices without eco). In the wee hours of a Sunday morning, we drove to the desert on the city's outskirts.
While much has been made about UNM men's basketball coach Fran Fraschilla's resignation and rumors about his possible replacement, the University faces a much greater test as it quietly gears up for another presidential search.
It angers me when politicians, Wall Street and the Pentagon play upon our fears to push their own agendas.
This morning, in "G" Lot around 8:40 a.m., a huge group of us students who pay money to park and ride approached the shuttle and we were greeted by a new rule. "No one can be standing in the aisle on the bus, please get on and look for a seat, if there are none, you'll have to get off, and wait for the next bus."
A couple of days ago, I was watching the news reports on how the White House is threatening to use nuclear weapons to fight terrorism. I guess wiping out an entire continent, if not the world, is one possible way to end terrorism? Maybe we can reach into the bottoms of our pockets and come up with hundreds of millions of dollars to develop "smart" nuclear bombs that will only kill the bad guys and leave only dust on the shoulders of the good guys.
Richard Berthold's column about Coach Fran and President Gordon is consistently myopic, in that he cannot see past himself.
The almost simultaneous announcements of the departure of UNM President William Gordon and head basketball coach Fran Fraschilla provided a snapshot of what the University is all about in the eyes of most New Mexicans. The notice of Gordon's retirement occupied only an inch or two on the front page of the Albuquerque Journal, while that of Fraschilla's termination was spread all over the front page and the sports section.
I realize the students just came back from Spring Break, but can't you do a better job of actually editing and proof reading your copy before it gets printed? The Wednesday edition first page not only has spelling errors (poision), but reports the Fall 2001 enrollment will be affected by the changes in the GPA for the bridge scholarship. I presume you meant the Fall 2002 enrollment.
