Evicted eatery petitions to stay

David Lynch | April 30

For six years, Sahara Middle Eastern Eatery and Times Square Deli Mart have been serving students in the SUB, making everything from lamb shawarmas to roast beef sandwiches. They had no complaints, and no issues with the SUB or University administration. Which is why Sahara’s owner, Helen Nesheiwat, and the restaurant’s employees were caught completely off guard when they received a notice early last week saying they are being replaced, and have until May 22 to pack up and leave. “We were shocked when we received the letter,” Nesheiwat said. “We never had any problems [with UNM]. We had good numbers and very very good service.”

Letter: Groups like the Islamic State misrepresent claimed labels

April 30

UNM student Samuel Ryu’s Monday letter possesses some really ill logic. Is President Obama both a socialist and a secret Muslim? (He seems like more of a pragmatist and secret atheist to me?) How do Obama’s “secret Muslim beliefs” square with his strong support of human rights for women and gays? Is that all part of the conspiracy? How many infidels has the POTUS beheaded today?

Mychal Miltenberger , Kyle Lord and Scott McCoy | April 30

Albuquerque microbreweries have made a name for themselves locally and nationally, but it’s easy to forget the Duke City produces another quality alcoholic beverage: wine. New Mexico is home to nearly 50 wineries, nine of which are located in the greater Albuquerque area. Operations like the Corrales Winery have on-site vineyards and face unique challenges harvesting grapes in such a dry climate. Keith Johnstone, co-owner of the winery, said winter is a major obstacle for vineyards here.

Dean's resignation a result of disparity

Marielle Dent | April 30

David Herring, UNM’s School of Law dean, is resigning due to disagreements with faculty members over two goals he had articulated when assuming the position in May, 2013. The resignation was announced Tuesday by Provost Chaouki Abdallah, who said it will be effective July 1. Herring will remain at the law school as a tenured faculty member. “It’s just a poor fit between me and the law school faculty at this point,” Herring said. “I have certain goals that I articulated from the beginning when I joined this law school about two years ago. The faculty was excited about those goals but now they’ve changed their minds so it’s time to part ways.”

5 & why with Finnie Coleman

Khadijah Jacobs | April 30

The moments that define a generation and genre of music can be as simple as an awards ceremony or as big as a rising star. Finnie Coleman, associate professor of African American studies, taught Introduction to Hip-Hop Culture in fall 2014. The course focused on giving incoming freshmen a historical understanding of the elements of African American cultural production. He said these moments represent the evolution of hip-hop, which has recently culminated in Kendrick Lamar’s recent album “To Pimp a Butterfly.” These are Coleman’s top five moments in the evolution of hip-hop culture.

Thomas Romero-Salas , Liam Cary-Eaves and Aaron Anglin | April 30

To combat this, Albuquerque has a Public Art Program which is dedicated to maintaining and restoring public art. Dan Fuller, the Public Art Collection coordinator for Albuquerque, said the way the city goes about deciding which public arts need restoration and or maintenance is decided by several different factors.

Liam Cary-Eaves | April 29

Immigrants bypass New Mexico, experts say

Casey Purcella | April 29

Of the Southwestern states, New Mexico has the lowest share of residents who are undocumented immigrants. Experts cite a variety of reasons - a lack of an existing population of undocumented immigrants, few low-skill jobs that don’t require English and control of the state’s border by drug cartels - as reasons for this discrepancy.
