Lobos band together, shut down Bruins during final minutes

If teams are going to stop the UNM women's basketball team's offense, they are going to have to focus on stopping more than just one player.

Follow your heart to health

Dear Dr. Peg, While shopping at my local Smith's store, I stopped by the pharmacy to measure my blood pressure. The machine told me that it was 127/75. Is this a healthy blood pressure? Also, what's the relationship between blood pressure and cholesterol levels? What can I do to maintain a healthy blood pressure?

Degree sends grads to state government

Frat invites group to national office to discuss concerns

Representatives from African-American Student Services said their trip to the Sigma Chi fraternity's headquarters in Chicago was a success, but more work needs to be done with the organization.

In business, greed necessary, not evil

Is business really evil? I have argued both sides of this debate and feel now is the time to take a stand. The answer to this question is a clear no. Business is not evil. Some people are evil. Businesses cannot make decisions, exploit people or steal on their own; it is only the people within businesses who have the ability to act. The corporation, as a whole, is nothing more than an idea. It's time we start to look at the institution of business separately from individual businesses and, further, individual people.

NM enchants popular culture with the paranormal

Perhaps the most distrusted name in news today, the Weekly World News, is a black-and-white supermarket tabloid featuring entertaining and untrue stories with headlines that vary from the impossible to the deranged.

Gray wolf in need of help from fellow Lobos at UNM

Editor, The name of this newspaper is the Daily Lobo, but just how many lobos - otherwise known as the Mexican gray wolf - do you, I or anyone else come across on a daily basis? That's right - zero. That is probably because the Mexican gray wolf is an endangered species.

Two quarterbacks, one game

The UNM football team is in a bowl game, but it's unclear which quarterback will take the reins. Senior Chris Nelson and freshman Donovan Porterie are competing for the starting job against San Jose State in the New Mexico Bowl at University Stadium on Dec. 23.

TVs in SUB train students to be mindless consumers

Editor, It is with increased dismay that I witness our culture sliding under the shadow of complete corporate occupation. People are no longer individuals. Instead, they are classified as consumers, a means to profits. The recent installation of televisions in the SUB to show mtvU highlights the pervasiveness of the corporate complex that now seeks to exert complete dominance over our lives.

Artist finds stencil graffiti, painting therapeutic

A few years ago, Bradford came to the realization that he cannot draw. "I still had the urge to make pictures, so I had to find some other way to translate what I saw in my head," he said.

Battle for racial equality not over

It feels like 1954 all over again. The Supreme Court is hearing a case this week against Seattle public schools. The issue? Racial integration.

Campus planners talk sustainability

It's important for UNM to have a master plan for its Rio Rancho campus, said Roger Schluntz, dean of the School of Architecture and Planning. "The question is, are we going to take 220 acres and turn 160 acres of it into a parking lot?" he said. "If we don't do anything and just let the campus happen, we'll end up with something that looks like a shopping center."

Charity provides drive-up drop-off

Donating to the Salvation Army is now as easy as ordering a Big Mac. The Salvation Army opened a drop-off location at the old Blimpie sandwich shop across from UNM at 1916 Central Ave. S.E. The location lets people be charitable without leaving their vehicles, said Morgan Patterson, director of community relations and development. "What I like about it is the convenience," he said. "The concept is they can do it (donate) through the drive-thru." Patterson said people have visited the location and attempted to order food at the drive-thru. "We thought maybe that might happen," he said. Student Vanessa Ringwald said the drive-thru donation process is odd, but she is glad it's there. "It's going to be convenient," she said. "Hopefully, more people will want to donate."

Selling childhoods back to gamers a slimy situation

There's an odd trend afoot in the console world. Apparently, it's become the order of the day to take Flash games off of the Internet, where they can be played for free, and then charge people several dollars to play them on a $600 console. Case in point is the primordial game "Flow." It's a fairly simple game. In it, the player controls a small primordial being that must swim around and eat other primordial beings in order to evolve. It's not complicated. It is addictive.
