In-house improvements may provide solution to University-wide IT inconsistencies

Nikole Mckibben | October 7

UNM IT officials, at a town hall earlier this week, provided potential solutions — some already in place at some department — to combat inefficiencies brought to light in report earlier this semester. One of the report’s suggestions was to streamline necessary procedures in order to make things less difficult across all University entities, but that is easier said than done, said Brian Pietrewicz, IT interim deputy CIO. “One of the main themes of the report is that the University is spending a substantial amount of money on IT, but we are not getting a return on our investment,” Pietrewicz said.

Letter: Resources are wasted on low-performing professors

Daily Lobo Readers | October 5

Dear James Lewis, President, UNM Alumni Association: Your recent call to action would be a much easier cause to support if the administration was willing to take a look at low-performing professors and strip them of their tenure. UNM wastes a tremendous amount of its scarce resources by not holding its staff accountable.

Movie Review: 'Some Like It Hot' is a breath of fresh air from the old days

Audrin Baghaie | October 5

“Some Like It Hot” is a 1959 black and white comedy starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and the one and only Marilyn Monroe. The film, set in the Prohibition Era, details the adventure of two musicians attempting to outrun the mob by disguising themselves as female musicians. It’s going to take more than just time to derail this motion picture. “Some Like It Hot” was a huge success 60 years ago, and has since earned the privilege to claim originality from hundreds of derivative films that have appeared afterward.

Column: Appropriate work attire is ever-changing

Nichole Harwood | October 5

As generations rise and generations fall, so does their impact on surrounding society. One such example that can be commonly seen is how we dress, or what we find acceptable for business attire and tasteful for body art and piercings. The classic look of the businessman — holding a briefcase in a suit with his hair combed back — is no longer the only norm in the business world.
