Rally to promote unity draws hundreds

Johnny Vizcaino | February 22

Several hundred protesters gathered in Civic Plaza Sunday afternoon for an anti-hate rally promoting understanding and inclusion while opposing the political rhetoric of figures such as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Former Albuquerque City Councilor Rey Garduño contributed to the atmosphere of the demonstration, which was organized by the Albuquerque United Front Against Hate. “We gather here today not to bury (Donald) Trump, although we’d like to. We’d rather gather here to make sure that he and his reckless, hateful speech are buried forever,” Garduño said.

Column: ASUNM here to help with new scholarships

Alex Cervantes | February 22

Education matters. Yet no matter how worthwhile we all know it to be, it doesn’t make the process of becoming educated any easier. And as if cramming for tests and writing essays into the night weren’t tasking enough, as students we have to balance that with the pressures of a social life, health and figuring out what we want to do for the rest of our lives.

Letter: New conceal carry law at University of Texas creates environment of fear

February 22

That superior research haven which is the University of Texas at Austin is now set to allow concealed handguns not only on campus, but even in classrooms, thanks to this new Texas law enacted by your typical Texan yahoos right across from campus in this State capital’s legislature. So much for the peaceful and quiet environment required for the burst of ideas and intellectual thought among the typically timid nerds who get to study there.

Wrestling Column: Fastlane preview

Thomas Romero-Salas | February 19

The path to WrestleMania 32 is clear, but what will actually happen at the biggest show of the year isn’t. With about six weeks until WWE holds the biggest WrestleMania ever, there is still plenty of mystery of what the card will look like. In years past, most of the matches had been built up to some degree. However, thanks to a rash of injuries up and down the roster the card is still fluid.

Greek life to enhance campus beauty

Greek life is switching its focus for community service day during Greek Week by teaming up with the Physical Plant Department to beautify UNM campus. "Community service will kick off the very first day of Greek Week right here at the University on February 20th.
