While April 19, 1995 started off as an ordinary day, it didn’t stay that way for very long. Just after 9 a.m., the nation was rocked to the core of its collective consciousness by a tragedy of unspeakable proportions.
The UNM women’s golf team took its second straight Mountain West Conference title in record-breaking fashion.
Raymond Rivera’s April 9 column, “Downtown stadium is needed,” was a wonderfully insightful column on the possibilities of a downtown stadium. While not everyone likes baseball, myself included, most people in this city can appreciate what a relatively inexpensive venue such as the proposed baseball stadium could offer Albuquerque as a city. Instead of lamenting the loss of yet another entertainment option, Rivera is envisioning the kind of community experience that this stadium might afford.

UNM law professor Alfred Mathewson said during a campus forum Wednesday that a controversial advertisement against slavery reparations has been a boon to the reparations movement. Mathewson said that David Horowitz’s advertisement, called “Ten Reasons Why Reparations is a Bad Idea for Blacks — and Racist Too,” that lists reasons why reparations are separatist, racist and should not be indulged has prompted discussion about the issue nationwide.
A three-year New Mexico Daily Lobo veteran and current managing editor is ready to take the helm as editor in chief. After involving herself in almost every other job the Lobo has to offer, Iliana Lim¢n was selected editor in chief by the Student Publications Board by an almost unanimous vote of 8-0-1, with only Associated Students of UNM board member Sen. Steve Aguilar abstaining. She and the rest of next year’s staff members will take over Sunday.
Editor, Thank you once again, Jeremy Reynalds, for elucidating the mysterious ways of the Lord to the rest of us who wander in darkness without the aid of God’s counsel.

The new animated feature “Shrek,” is an elaborate and innovative film with state-of-the-art computer graphics and a hilarious script.
Spring is here and with it comes one of Albuquerque’s most spectacular musical events: the Weekly Alibi Spring Crawl. For only $10, music lovers get the chance to see and hear more than 65 of the state’s most talented and popular bands at 10 venues on the Downtown strip Saturday.
It’s Tuesday night at some seedy, local bar and the floor is sticky with spilt beer. Two bands have already played their sets and the final band, Mother, is setting up its equipment.
Editor, Something wonderful happened on our campus on April 12. No, not the tuition hike or the display of unity that was the protest of the tuition raise.
As a right-wing provocateur, David Horowitz has few peers. Particularly on the issue of reparations for slavery, he has managed to take a relatively obscure academic debate and make it a topic of popular discussion in several colleges and universities.
Editor, I want to thank UNM and its students — past and current — for being great supporters of Peace Corps.
Since this is my first year at UNM, I did not know a lot about ASUNM. Last semester, I didn’t really pay attention to the election, but this time it was impossible to ignore. Everywhere I went I was assaulted by chalked up sidewalks proclaiming The People or The Connection slates. On Election Day, we were all bombarded by handouts telling us who to vote for or were bribed with candy handouts. I was so annoyed that I decided to look into these two slates. What I found was disturbing.
Ready for the semester to end and have all these classes behind you? Ready to end this academic drudgery so you can lean back, put up your feet and congratulate yourself for a job well done? There’s just one problem: getting through these last couple of weeks alive.
