by Michael Beniash Daily Lobo The University of New Mexico's women's golf team swings into their 2002-03 season this weekend, as they host the 24th annual Comcast/Dick McGuire Invitational at the UNM Championship Golf Course.

UNM students looking for parking in the South Lot may run into a few parking problems this afternoon. The UNM-Texas Tech football game, which starts at 5 p.m., could potentially create congestion starting as early as 11:00 a.m. because of tailgaters. But UNM officials do not foresee any problems.

Editor, I keep hearing various excuses why Coach Rocky Long and the Lobos lost to the Aggies Saturday. There is no reason why Coach Long and the Lobos shouldn't beat NMSU every year.

A group of UNM students who started their own on-campus delivery business have been told by University officials to stop operations this week due to a conflict with an exclusive food-service contract signed by UNM in September 2000. Barry Schneider, Jesse Kooperman and Elliott Paul, the three student owners of Underground Services, said they should have the right to run their own business on campus or at least be allowed to petition the University for a review of their request.
by Mari Armstrong-Hough U-Wire Drugs are expensive. Developing countries need drugs not only to address raging HIV/AIDS epidemics, but also to fight epidemics of malaria, tuberculosis, and various childhood diseases. But, forced by international intellectual property rights agreements to allow major commercial pharmaceutical corporations exclusive production rights, the cost of those drugs can make them unavailable.
