by Riley Bauling Daily Lobo There's nothing quite like 11 goals in two games to make you forget about an overtime loss. The UNM men's soccer team beat up on the University of Nevada-Las Vegas Runnin' Rebels 4-0 in Las Vegas on Saturday. The win came a week after the Lobos shellacked UNLV 7-2.
by Steven Fernandez Daily Lobo For the UNM football team, Friday's game was a tale of two halves. Unfortunately for the Lobos, the first half featured all the good, while the second half was nothing but bad and ugly. After jumping out to a seemingly comfortable 25-12 lead in the first two quarters, UNM crumbled in all phases of the game.
Editor, In a number of recent letters to the editor in your newspaper, the term terrorism has been used in a limited sense to mean violence against Western people and interests.

by Steven Fernandez Daily Lobo Heading into the Mountain West Conference Championships this weekend, the UNM cross country teams aren't scaring anybody. That's just the way head coach Matt Henry wants it to be. "We're in a very good situation," he said.
by Brandale Mills Daily Lobo Students went hungry Thursday to help provide food for the needy. UNM's third annual Ramadan Fast-A-Thon took place from sunrise at 7:23 a.m. until sunset at 6:17 p.m. The fast, hosted by UNM's Muslim Student Association, is a program where a person pledges to fast for one day.
Editor, Wasn't that Pat Robertson I saw in front of the SUB on Wednesday? He may not have looked like Robertson, but he sure sounded like him. I guess the guy with the banner spouting off about how everyone was going to hell was the campus evangelist Matt Bourgault, and his message was all too familiar.
Editor, I will agree with Matt Bourgault, who demonstrated outside the SUB on Wednesday, that evangelism is the responsibility of Christians, as commanded in the book of Matthew. And I agree that college campuses can be places of licentious parties and moral decay.
Editor, I applaud Colin Donoghue's column in last Friday's Daily Lobo, "Jesus was no Republican," and Ralph Arellanes Jr.'s letter in Monday's Lobo. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and to do good to them. During the first 200 years after Jesus, no followers of Jesus became soldiers.
by Travis Weber Daily Lobo The last three games of the UNM Ice Wolves' eight-game road trip didn't quite go the way they wanted.

Cyrena Hur, Senior, Public Relations "I still think it's a good idea that we're there. I voted for Bush, and I would do it over again if I had to." Katryn Fraher, Sophomore, Sociology "Same thing I've always thought - it's bad news. We shouldn't be there.
by Daniel S. Archuleta Daily Lobo Head coach Rocky Long said no matter the night of the week, games against the Colorado State Rams are always tough. "Whenever we play Colorado State, it's very intense, whether it's on Friday night, Monday night or Saturday night," Long said.
by Eva Dameron Daily Lobo It's time for men to pour their hearts out on stage. "Four Wheel Drive (One or Two Things About Testosterone)" is a show written by local playwright Joe Sackett. Sackett said the play is idea-driven instead of plot-driven. "It's a play of ideas," he said.
by Eva Dameron Daily Lobo Robert and Shana Parkeharrison don't just take photographs. They make them. The Parkeharrisons attended UNM in the early '90s - now they've returned with their traveling photography exhibit, "The Architect's Brother," showing in the University Art Museum through December 21.
Editor, The issue of intelligent design has been in the news lately, most recently in Rio Rancho, where the ACLU is ready to step in and support any teacher who does not want to teach intelligent design in their classrooms. Personally, I have no problem with the concept of intelligent design - in fact, I'm all for it.
by Nathan Williams Daily Lobo Upon picking up The Sorrow of Archaeology, initial instincts were that this would turn into a dull science read. Readers will be pleasantly mistaken.
