Grad Issue: UNM helped Drew Morrow mature as an artist

Kyle Land | December 10

For any aspiring artist, being in an environment that nurtures one’s creativity is an absolute necessity. For graduating senior Drew Morrow , the atmosphere of the University of New Mexico has helped him mature as an artist in a variety of ways. Morrow is a studio art major, who primarily prefers paint as his medium. “I kind of do more abstract work, because I have a hard time with figures,” Morrow said. “I do like to do live drawing and figure drawing as well, but I like to focus on more organic and free-form (pieces).”

Grad Issue: From high-school dropout to college graduate

Kelly Urvanejo | December 10

At 17-years-old, Michael Marquez dropped out of high school after a guidance counselor suggested that he would be better off if he just went to work instead of continuing his education. But he has advice for anyone who has been in a similar situation: “Dropping out of high school is not the end of the world. You didn’t ruin your life,” Marquez said. Being from San Juan County, Marquez said that everyone around him probably expected him to work in the oil mines, but he had a different goal in mind.

Grad Issue: Beaulieu reflects on his time at UNM

Cameron Goeldner | December 10

Jason Beaulieu just wanted to win. That, according to the Lobos’ senior goalkeeper and soon-to-be Fall 2017 graduate, is the main reason he decided to come to New Mexico. “Really it’s because they made it to the final four the year I was recruited, and I wanted the best soccer school I could find,” Beaulieu said. "It was hard to find better than that. I didn’t know much about the NCAA and the powerhouses and the good programs. I didn’t know much. Just the fact that they made it far, and they have such good players that made it pro every year, so I decided to come to the best program.”

Letter: Suicide is never the best answer

Daily Lobo Readers | December 10

Editor, I, as an older student, am here to say to younger students: never commit suicide. I'll tell you why. It isn't as it I have never wanted to, because I have when I was in my 20s. I had two almost tragically close attempts. Then after the second attempt, I made a decision that no matter how hard life got, I would never do that.

Women’s Basketball: Lobos beat undefeated Navy in overtime thriller

Matthew Narvaiz | December 10

It took overtime to do it. But in a closely contested battle, the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team beat the undefeated Navy team at Dreamstyle Arena, 94-87, in front of an announced crowd of 6,673. The win for UNM (11-0) tied the longest win streak in team history, with the women’s team doing it at one point during the 1977-78 season and again in the 2003-04 season. But the win didn’t come easy.

Women's basketball: New Mexico and Navy face off with undefeated records on the line

Matthew Narvaiz | December 9

The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team will host Navy at Dreamstyle Arena on Sunday afternoon, hoping to continue its streak of perfection. With a win over Navy, the Lobos (10-0, 0-0 MW) can tie the longest win streak in the team’s history at 11 straight, which has been accomplished on a couple of occasions. UNM won 11 games in a row during the 1996-97 season and again during the 2003-04 season. But picking up that win probably won’t be an easy task. Navy, which has played nine games so far this season, is also undefeated—including wins over Air Force and North Dakota State, amidst the run. Navy’s most recent victory came against Richmond—a game Navy won by 20 points.

Women’s Basketball: Lobos defeat Texas Tech decisively, setting new school record for wins to start out a season

Matthew Narvaiz | December 7

The University of New Mexico Lobos 10th consecutive victory of the season, marking a new program record for wins to start a season without a loss, came in dominant fashion against Texas Tech at Dreamstyle Arena, as they won 90-56 in front of an announced crowd of 5,663 fans on Wednesday evening. The crowd was the largest attendance this season for the Lobos (10-0), a healthy site for a team that has yet to taste defeat. But the win against the Red Raiders was due to a strong defensive effort from the Lobos, as they forced 20 TTU turnovers in the game. They also translated those turnovers into 28 points, while only allowing TTU to score two points off of seven UNM turnovers. Senior guard Cherise Beynon, who scored a game-high 21 points against the Red Raiders (3-4) on a 10-for-29 shooting night, was effective on defense leading the Lobos in the game with four steals. Despite the height advantage, the Red Raiders only outrebounded the Lobos by a margin of 44-43. Junior post Jaisa Nunn brought down a game-high 10 boards, with six of those coming on the offensive end. She also had 15 points, giving her a double-double.

The competitive nature of two candidates locked into deep debate became something I craved — something I wanted to watch.

Photo Issue: After Agent Orange

Autumn Sage King | December 6

In 1969 my grandfather, Charles Love Mullins V, was deployed to Vietnam. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force as an aircraft maintenance officer. During that time, the military was using Agent Orange to poison trees and shrubbery so that the Viet Cong could be easily spotted and tracked, but the United States was unaware of the life-changing effects this chemical would have on its own members. In 2003 my grandfather retired from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, which was most likely caused by his exposure to Agent Orange.
