Thomas Romero-Salas | September 3

Back when Bob Davie was an analyst for ESPN, there was one aspect of the job that he disliked: making predictions. Davie, entering his fourth year as head coach for New Mexico, said he wasn’t fond of acting like he knew what was going to happen five months into the college football season. Davie was paid to give his opinion much in the same way that he gives his opinion as a head coach. Well, the time for making predictions is over.

Album review: "Depression Cherry" soothes with simplicity

Skylar Griego | September 3

The beautiful thing about music is the variety of emotions and urges it's able to evoke in listeners. It can serve as a cry for help, a call for action or just a way to vent. Music can soothe a restless soul, and sometimes, all one can do is lie back and get lost in it. The newest release from dream pop/indie rock duo Beach House, “Depression Cherry,” is an album made to quiet the beast within.

SunPort aims to change how consumers access solar power

David Lynch | September 3

According to the Energy Information Administration, 85 percent of all electricity in the United States in 2014 was generated via coal, natural gas and nuclear. Solar barely even gets any love among the seven percent of our power that comes from renewable energy resources – only 0.4 percent of our power came from the sun. The SunPort, a product made by a local Albuquerque startup team, is looking to change all of that on a global scale, and it’s as easy as just plugging it into an outlet, and the consumer is using solar.

September 3

Editor, Why it is so difficult for the Chartwell’s management team on campus to pay an $11.00 an hour employee his check within a reasonable time frame? Generally, individuals who accept wages this low don't have thousands of dollars in the bank to pay the bills until the multinational corporation in charge of the payroll feels like issuing a paycheck.

Women's soccer: Lobos must clean up play at the 18s, coach says

J.R. Oppenheim | September 2

At this early stage in the women’s soccer team, head coach Heather Dyche acknowledges that there are some things her team needs to work on. Among them, Dyche said, the Lobos need to clean up their play inside the 18-yard box. Issues inside both UNM’s box defensively and Colorado’s box offensively plagued the Lobos in Sunday’s 4-0 loss at Colorado, she said. “I think they were the better team,” Dyche said at the first coaches’ luncheon of the year on Tuesday at University Stadium. “I’m not trying to say we deserved to win that game, but I think a 4-0 result would suggest it was a 4-0 game, and it wasn’t. We created enough. We had some brilliant opportunities and we didn’t put them away."

David Lynch | September 1

Subjects such as Internet censorship and freedoms are becoming increasingly discussed as modern society moves further and further into the Digital Age.
