Scribendi, a nonprofit, annual magazine of creative works developed by undergraduate honors students since 1986 has been officially defunded by Associated Students of the UNM after it requested money from this spring’s ASUNM budget. The amount of funding requested by UNM student organizations amounted to more than $1 million. However, less than seven hundred thousand was actually available, resulting in funding reductions for nearly every organization applying.

Letter: Sanders represents a populist campaign of participation

April 7

Protagoras was among the first partisans of the so-called social contract, a compromise prohibiting the stronger from injuring the weaker that ratified (in effect) the foundation of democratic government—and strength in the modern age has been principally economic. Wall Street one-percentism is the unambiguous dissolution of the social contract; the Sanders movement represents its surprised restoration.

Editorial: It's students' duty to vote in ASUNM elections

Daily Lobo Editorial Board | April 7

With 2016 being a U.S. election year, talk of the presidential race is dominating the national landscape. College campuses especially tend to be a popular hotbed of discussion. Groups lobbying for particular candidates are formed, students volunteer to work in local campaign offices and they register to vote, many for the first time. Forums may be held, debate watch parties scheduled, respectful arguments hashed out late at night while taking a break from homework.

This is the era when the processing of Big Data by artificial intelligence is revealing things about you and your past that even you don’t know -- revealed not to you, but to those who are looking to use what they find to act maliciously against you, both transnational criminal enterprises, and Big Government saying it is all for the greater good, of course.

ASUNM, UNMPD hold Safety Day to open discussion about campus security

David Lynch | April 7

Associated Students of UNM, in collaboration with UNM Police, held Safety Day on Wednesday, an opportunity for the student government to directly reach out to students about their most pressing concerns regarding security on campus. ASUNM officials said the initiative was something being planned for a few months as a chance for students to have their voice heard. “It’s been one of the bigger outreach events we’ve had all semester,” said ASUNM Legislative Coordinator Noah Michelsohn. “I don’t think many students know about UNMPD, so it’s good to get students talking to them as well so that they know what their actual purpose is.”

Letter: Free parking on campus would mean no parking on campus for many

April 7

We are writing in response to a letter on March 31st regarding UNM Parking and Transportation Services (PATS). Having worked directly with PATS in the past, we can say that they are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. Their primary mission is to serve the students of UNM and they are very clear and enthusiastic about that in any conversation you have with them. Because of this, we think it is only fair to clear up some misconceptions that are widely held all over campus.
