Football: Lobos can get share of division title with win against Wyoming

Robert Maler | November 26

A loss by Boise State (10-2, 6-2 MW) in its final regular season game just made the season finale between the Lobos and Wyoming on Saturday a lot more interesting. A win by Wyoming (8-3, 6-1 MW) would give the Cowboys the division crown outright, while New Mexico (7-4, 5-2) could force a three-way tie to earn co-champ honors. A share of the division title would be the first for the Lobos since 1997, although Boise State would likely get the nod to play in the Mountain West Championship by virtue of its higher ranking.

The petition seeks to inquire about potential protection measurements UNM may take for anyone in the University community who may face heavy discrimination or potentially lose immigration status protections.

What led to Trump's rise? UNM professors offer their thoughts

Nichole Harwood | November 22

Two UNM professors — from the departments of Sociology and Political Science — commented on Donald Trump’s historical rise to presidency and the factors which may have been involved in his victory. Peter Kierst, who teaches constitutional law and theory, said the Constitution is silent about political parties, but this election does raise two constitutional issues: the influence of “factions” and the use of the Electoral College. A faction is a group of people, part of either a minority or majority, who are animated by a passion which is contrary to the right of individuals or contrary to the public interest, Kierst said.

With only six faculty members, UNM’s Native American Studies Department has a relatively small group of faculty, but their research subjects are many. Minthorn works for both the Native American Studies and Education departments and, ever since she came to UNM in 2012, focuses on leadership. She said her favorite class to teach is one she created, centered on principles of leadership in an indigenous context. “I think a lot of times when we’re taught about leadership it’s from a Western perspective, and so this class takes that away,” Minthorn said.

Women's Basketball: Lobos' shooting comes up short against Texas Tech

Matthew Narvaiz | November 22

Lobo women's basketball seemed to have left its magic shooting touch in Albuquerque, as the team shot a dismal percentage from the field en route to a 69-58 loss on the road at Texas Tech. New Mexico (2-1) has shown it likes to shoot the three, but on Sunday the deep ball just wasn’t there. The Lobos shot just 8 for 37 from beyond the arc, but still managed to keep the score close for most of the game. Both teams struggled shooting from the floor throughout. Texas Tech (2-1) made just under 35 percent of its shots (29 of 83), but the Lobos were even less efficient (23 of 80), connecting on just 29 percent of shots.
