Martin Janowski wants to get young people involved and interested in government with the help of his new book of essays, "New Wine, Fresh Skins!" Janowski, who served as New Mexico Republican Sen. Pete Domenici's press secretary, certainly gears his book toward younger people - perhaps too well. The majority of his writing manages to talk down to an audience presumably ignorant of government proceedings, as if explaining to a five-year-old where babies come from.
The elections are over, but you can still read up on the election events.
When I was in junior high, there was this little punk jerk named Ivan.
Musical Theater Southwest's production of "Gypsy" is reminiscent of fast food. It tastes great while you're eating, but when the meal is finished, you're not as satisfied as you hoped you'd be.

The Senate passed appropriations and amendments with few arguments Wednesday night, though Sen. Da Vonda Bowens expressed disappointment with the group during her closing comments. At the end of the meeting, Bowens said she thought it was rude that senators were not paying attention to each other during the meeting. “People are talking and walking — what happened to order?” she asked.
GPSA presidential candidate Dathan Weems says student government has been the focal point of his education.
It’s such a relief to hear Todd Lewis’s voice again and know that the Toadies didn’t forget to record a new album. It took Lewis, bassist Lisa Umbarger, drummer Mark Reznicek and guitarist Clark Vogeler, who replaced original guitarist Darrel Herbert, seven years to make a comeback from the exceptional 1994 album Rubberneck, which for hardcore fans is just too long to wait. Luckily for us, the delay was almost worth it, and the new album Hell Below/Stars Above picks up where the previous left off.
Poet Robert Creeley presents “In Company: Robert Creeley’s Collaborations” in the University Art Museum Tuesday.
Back when Metallica ruled the metal underground, a festering sore of a band was lurking in the shadows to take the groundwork laid by the now-mainstream group and twist, jump on and grind it into submission. Sepultura’s music was angrier, faster and more bludgeoning than most bands at the time, and it wouldn’t be long before the group took the mainstream by its throat. By the end of the ’80s, the Brazilian metal gods had come to the forefront of the music scene and made a name for themselves for calling to mind the anguish in the world. And they had a front-row seat to it becuase they grew up in the slums of Belo Horizonte, where poverty and crime was an everyday occurrence.
Editor, I am writing in response to Jamie Seiberlich’s column on Thursday about Title IX and “common sense” about women and sports.
Editor, I’d like to comment on Blake Driver’s recent article on Thursday about professor Tey Diana Rebolledo and her presentation, “Les Claravidentes: Chicana Artists and Writers.” While the article was well written and informative, I am concerned that Driver’s description of Alma Lopez’s work “Our Lady” as an almost nude Virgin Mary is deceiving.
UNM will issue a bond package worth $60 million to upgrade, improve and renovate the utilities infrastructure.
If any lesson should be learned from last year’s presidential election and the resulting chaos, it’s that every single vote really does count. These days, it’s easy to feel lost in the crowd. When a hundred million people are voting, it’s easy to shrug your shoulders and say, “What difference would my vote make, anyway?”
Abortion activist Laura Kaplan told a sparse gathering at the Kiva Lecture Hall Tuesday that legalizing abortion was one of the first steps to break the silent repression of women. Kaplan, who was a member of the Abortion Council Service of the Women’s Liberation in the late ’60s and early ’70s, said that, before various movements of ’60s, women were almost powerless about their lives, children and their bodies. She said the expected view of women was that they were less than men, childlike and to be seen and not heard. Kaplan said women never spoke to each other about any private matters, and if they did, it was always in whispers.
