For just the second time all season, the Lobos dropped a conference series and are now at risk of losing a share of the Mountain West crown. Even with a loss at UNLV on Sunday afternoon, the Fresno State Bulldogs will at least own part of the conference title, while UNM must fight for at least a piece of first after falling to Nevada 13-9 on Sunday.
It was a beautiful morning in the Land of Enchantment as the Lobos kicked off the Men’s Regional Golf Championship.
In a text message sent to UNM students, staff and faculty, shortly before 6 p.m. Monday, the University warned of a "man with a gun" at the intersection of Yale Boulevard and Central Avenue with a white polo, dark pants and blue backpack. The text advises individuals in the area to shelter where they are. This is a developing story.
New Mexico’s softball season ended on a sour note, being swept in the final three games of the 2016 campaign. The Lobos were within spitting distance of finishing .500, but after dropping seven of the team’s last eight contests, those aspirations were squashed.
Time management is a huge part of a college student’s life. Balancing classes, homework, studying, a social life and money can be stressful. Many college students have jobs to pay for their own tuition and housing. With time being such a huge factor in their lives, working close to the University is ideal.
What did you wish you knew when you were a freshman?
Whether raised as an Albuquerque native or moving in from out of state, it’s worth getting to know the music venues of the city.

For any sport lover, rivalries are known to have a little bit extra heat, a tad more physicality and possibly some extra jabbering between plays. UNM is no stranger to the culture. Here are some of the most notable rivalries at the University.
Social Security isn’t something UNM students think about often, but it's vital to their future and in danger of being cut. DeAnza Valencia-Sapien, associate state director of advocacy at AARP, said if no congressional action is taken, Social Security benefits will have to be cut by 25 percent after 2034.
Society has no business blaming a painkiller-prescribing doctor for an already-addicted patient’s death. Any doctor, out of his professional compassion and duty, is going to place pain management first, and is not expected to know a whole lot about the usual patient presenting, in particular if the patient is an addict. Besides, where does a prescribing standard leave off and “over-prescribing" begin for agonizing, unrelenting pain?
There are countless memes about broke college students, but there are also countless perks that many students are not aware of. The LoboPerks program is a partnership between the UNM community and businesses at local and national levels. The purpose of the program is to acquire discounts for individuals connected to the University.
It was suggested I write in to explain why I am leaving UNM for UCCS this coming fall. It came to my attention that the UNM president has been less than agreeable when it comes to how assault, rape and other forms of violence are being handled.

In reading some of the recent letters regarding UNM's seal, I cannot help but wonder how our students and faculty have arrived at the conclusion it is racist. If it were, the seal would be advocating for the superiority of Western culture above all others. The seal does not does not do so in any way, shape or form. A frontiersman and a conquistador, in and of themselves, are not racist symbols. They simply are what they are. No more, and no less.
Students often have a difficult time finding where they can perform perhaps the most important activity linked to achieving success - study. One of the challenges to finding a good spot to study is linked to students having different preferences. Some of the more obvious study spots are libraries, where reserving a study room could be a good option.
UNM has several graduate-level curriculums housed on main and north campus. The toughest to get into? The Psychology Department’s, which has accepted class sizes between 12 and 15 in recent years. Last year, the number was 15, out of 245 total applicants, according to Rikk Murphy, graduate program coordinator for the Psychology Department at UNM, which specializes primarily in clinical treatment.
As an incoming freshman, there are some things to know about being on campus. UNM is in the center of the city and there are some issues which come with that, specifically with crime, which isn't exactly rare in the area. According to UNM Police, since the start of January there have been at least 58 incidents of burglary, 99 cases of larceny and 41 incidents of battery.
New Mexico may have a serious advantage coming into the NCAA Men’s Regional Championship this weekend – the Lobos are playing on a course they’ve practiced at hundreds of times. The UNM men’s golf team will be competing in the Men’s Regional Championship this week at UNM South Championship Course May 16-18. This course is one of six locations that will be hosting the tournament.
It didn’t take San Jose State the full seven innings to take the series from New Mexico on Saturday night. UNM was run-ruled in the sixth inning when the Spartans took a lead greater than eight in the bottom of the sixth inning.
