My brunch cravings were getting annoying until I found this fine desert eatery. I went to the Slate Street CafÇ during its Saturday brunch. Breakfast was served from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m., and lunch was available anytime after 11 a.m. I hadn't been awake for long, so I decided to go the breakfast route.

Editor, On July 11, the Albuquerque Tribune ran a story of interest to all members of the UNM community. Entitled "UNM might not have to look far for provost," the story is based on an interview with UNM President David Schmidly. In this interview, the president tells the reporter that he "is leading a national search for a new provost but says he has a good candidate in his own backyard.
In fall of 2006, the Bush administration announced plans to place an antimissile system in Central Europe for the stated purpose of addressing Middle East ballistic missile threats. Russian President Vladimir Putin has forcefully opposed the perceived intrusion into Moscow's domain, arguing that the "system is targeted against something that does not exist" and could trigger a new arms race that would threaten Eurasian stability.
If you were to ask most New Mexicans - or even most Americans - to name the most strange, controversial and wildly celebrated place in our entire state, chances are the name of one town would be mentioned again and again: Roswell. If you were to ask those same people exactly why Roswell has such a reputation or how it became such a mythic destination, they would probably all reply: "The milk!"
Students who commute from the West Side can sit back and surf the Internet if they ride Rapid Ride. The city extended the Rapid Ride bus service to Albuquerque's West Side on July 7. Now is a great time to hop on the route and try it out, said Greg Payne, director of transit for the city.
After seven years of lobbying and fundraising, ASUNM will soon fulfill its goal of installing lights on Johnson Field. "The lights make the University more like a university," former ASUNM President Brittany Jaeger said. "I went to about 12 other universities to see what they were doing, and of all 12, only one didn't have lights on their recreational field."
When Matt Henry decided to retire from UNM, he said he was leaving partly because former Athletics Director Rudy Davalos wasn't committed to the track and cross country teams.
Editor, It is unfortunate to see the negative attitudes of some community members in response to the new endowed chairperson for Roman Catholic Studies at UNM. The recent letters to the editor by Bhavana Upadhyaya and Jay Nelson do not present any valid reasons why there should not be such a faculty position at UNM.
Joela Bezzeg Senior Linguistics Daily Lobo: What do you do on campus during the summer? Joela Bezzeg: I work at the library. DL: Do you file books away on the shelves? JB: No. I receive books. I worked in the basement of Zimmerman before the fire. So, now I'm upstairs with Parish. DL: What's ...
Editor, The state of New Mexico has reached a new all-time population high, and it doesn't have to deal with outrageous temperatures instigated by global warming. We have 2 million people within our borders that need proper access to water, land, food, shelter, health care and other established universal human rights.
The Lobos are losing a player from the UNM men's basketball team but gaining another at a much-needed position. David Kanyinda spent his freshman season in 2006-07 playing a minimal role for the Lobos. The 6-foot-2-inch guard from Sandia High School averaged 1.5 points per game with UNM last season.
It was not your average Friday night show in Albuquerque. Musician Scott Nobody began his set at The Curio by cooking and serving seitan to the audience while reciting stream-of-consciousness poetry. Later, audience members set off firecrackers indoors.
Over the past 10 years, a lot of games have come out that let the player choose between being good and evil. Some of these games have been spectacularly good, such as BioWare's "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic." A few have been somewhat less spectacular, as in the case of the overhyped "Fable." Codemasters' latest release, "Overlord," gives the player a similar choice. The only difference is that it's a choice between evil and ridiculously evil.
Editor, I'm writing to you because our University students represent our future leaders, and they should be aware of what's going on around them. Based on recent news, Mayor Chávez appears to be hell-bent on running for higher office. He has been quite busy wheeling and dealing in order to get all his ducks in line regardless of the cost to others, and his dictatorial style of management has been a great help to him in accomplishing his objectives.
You are a feminist, according to author Jessica Valenti.
