by Abel Horwitz Daily Lobo Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," originally released in 1964, is considered by many to be a masterpiece of cinema. The film, now playing at Madstone Theater, deals with the safety of nuclear weapons and the people who handle them during the Cold War.
It may not have been the best opponent the Lobos have faced, but Wednesday night's 107-49 thrashing of Western New Mexico was still enjoyable for any UNM fan.

SANTA FE -- New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson appointed four new regents for the University of New Mexico Wednesday, replacing three regents whose terms had expired and one who resigned. He also named regents for the seven other universities and colleges in New Mexico.
In the mood for a history lesson about a man that surprisingly few people of our generation know all that much about? Search no further than "The Trials of Henry Kissinger," playing now at Madstone Theaters alongside "Bowling for Columbine." Henry Kissinger, who served under several different presidential administrations, has just been thrust back into the political spotlight thanks to George W.
A UNM senior who received five criminal citations for an art project gone bad in December says he plans to take his case all the way to trial. "It was not my aim to get involved with any legal issues," said Sean Winkless-Hall.
