Editor, I write this letter in response to the infuriating news that the Art Student Association gallery in the Student Union Building is soon to be replaced with a workout room.

by Matt Gomez Daily Lobo Nine Inch Nails' latest release is a mouthful of the same pop-industrial formula the band has relied on for so long.

by Phil Parker Daily Lobo Every morning Telle takes ibuprofen for his arthritis. Then he might go for a swim in his hot tub. Telle is one of the monkeys who live on top of Logan Hall. Professor John Gluck brought the monkeys to UNM in the early 1970s so he could study different aspects of their behavior. It's not a bad life for four old primates - all between 25 and 30 years old - who spent their early years as the subjects of numerous social experiments. Stump-tailed monkeys are incredibly smart animals, capable of solving memory puzzles or dismantling equipment, Gluck said. Telle is the lone male of the four stump-tailed monkeys living on the roof of UNM's Logan Hall. Still relatively active for his age, Telle's pruned red face looks tired, and he's missing clumps of hair in spots. He walks slowly, and his eyes don't exactly dart in all directions. Lala, Donna and Milly also while away their days in the fenced-in holding area, where they can jump around suspended platforms or climb in and out of massive plastic tubes.

Balling till he's falling by Riley Bauling Daily Lobo 1) Jeff Rowland - Count 'em: Only four other UNM men's soccer players have made an All-American team. And if Rowland really wants to play for bragging rights, there has only been one other Lobo - Edmundo Rodriguez in 1992 - to make the first team.
Editor The student-run Art Student Association's gallery in the Student Union Building has been UNM's tragedy for many years. It is no surprise that UNM and ASUNM are willing to convert the poor space it does provide into a gym. The UNM Art Department is well-known and well-respected around the country, but not here on its own campus.
Editor, That the president of a Turkish student association feels compelled to profess nationalistic loyalty and deny the Armenian genocide almost a century after it took place indicates how massive and ubiquitous Turkey's propaganda machine really is.

by Dustin Habermann Daily Lobo columnist Every couple of months or so, someone sends me an e-mail that purports to explain the world of economics and politics through the model of two cows.
