Colonel says military career allowed him to see the world

Col. John Hill has plenty of stories about his trips abroad, but one stood out above all others. In 2003, Hill and his wife were in India when they saw Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones sharing drinks and conversation. When the pair left without paying their bill, Hill picked up the tab, so he could tell his friends he bought the Rolling Stones drinks, he said.

Transcension

by Jessica Del Curto The Daily Lobo Vickie Temer said dangling from a rope by the skin of her knees and shoulder blades isn't as painful as it looks. "It's mind over matter," she said. "It's really just how you look at it." The 20-year-old has been performing acts of suspension since she was 18.

Letter: Law of cause and effect disproves evolution theory

Editor, This is in response to Michael Weber's rather absurd letter in Wednesday's edition of the Daily Lobo. First off, if you ask an incoherent question like his, all you should expect to receive is an incoherent answer. Also, the Bible is a spiritual book written by a spiritual being.

Letter: Less freedom to choose will make U.S. similar to UK

Editor, I was amused and alarmed by Steve Durant's letter regarding America's misguided emphasis on individual freedom of choice. He is indeed the paternalistic product of a unitary, socialist government, watching us young colonial children at irresponsible play.

Editorial: Variety in ASUNM slates gave good reason to vote

I'll admit it. I'm a senior, and this Wednesday was the first time I ever voted in an ASUNM election. But it was the first time it seemed like it mattered. There are 38 candidates in this election. In the past there have been two slates that differ slightly, but have similar goals.

School of Engineering breaks ground for funds

Students, faculty and alumni watched as a Komatsu trackhoe began tearing away at the southeast corner of land near Wagner Hall on Wednesday. The groundbreaking took place where the Centennial Engineering Center will be built later this year. It was part of a fundraiser to fund the contruction of the center.

Elections wrap up for GPSA leadership slot

by Katy Knapp Daily Lobo GPSA President Buckner Creel isn't worried about new leadership in the student group. "I think the GPSA will have a good president next year," he said. "I think anyone will do a good job. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Star cast can't elevate boring film

by Daniel V. Garcia Daily Lobo You've probably noticed several trends in filmmaking as of late. One is to remake an old flick based on the assumption that the current generation is too young to remember the original. The other has been to feature once-prominent actors in an effort to bring in audiences based on the performers' former drawing power.

Letter: It's pointless to impeach Republicans' puppet

Editor, Impeach George Bush? That's kind of like a sick joke. It would take longer to push the paperwork through the system than he has left in office. Most of the people who are in a position to impeach him are his sycophants. Any Republican who voted to impeach would be politically doomed, whatever the outcome.

Student election results go Boom

The Boom slate dominated the ASUNM elections Wednesday, with president, vice president and seven senators voted into office. Incumbent President Brittany Jaeger from Boom was re-elected, receiving 44 percent of

Letter: Scientology doesn't have solutions to real problems

The Daily Lobo's article in Tuesday's paper about Scientology on campus brought up some interesting points from a conversation I had recently.

Student speaks of persecution

UNM student Lanlan Wang said she began practicing Falun Dafa, a controversial type of Chinese meditation, in March 1998. A year later, she was kicked out of Tsinghua University in China.

Letter: Churches, archaic beliefs should be thrown out

It is interesting to see the Scientologists on campus again. Their "clearing" method is like Arthur Janov's primal therapy - memorialized by the band Tears for Fears in the 1980s. Primal therapy can cure a person of neurosis, but the Scientologists' theology looks pretty sketchy.

Column: Sox smell while Bonds tries to build insanity case

At first, I wasn't sure if I could handle another 162-game Major League Baseball season. But just as I started having brain spasms, I realized there are many intriguing subplots in the 2006 season. Here are five of my favorite:

Player puts foot down against Triple-A

Most college baseball players would consider facing Triple-A pitching a nightmare, but for Matt Foote, it was a dream come true.

Column: Steroid scandals have created hardened skeptics

One of these days, I'm going to bite the bullet, pay to see a Major League Baseball game in person, and actually feel like I'm paying for some of those clowns' salaries.
