Volleyball The New Mexico volleyball team went winless at the Paradise Tour in Hawaii over the weekend. UNM lost its first match of the tournament against No. 20 Hawaii 3-1 (26-24, 18-25, 11-25, 17-25) on Thursday.
Missed assignments and tackles will always happen in football. However, under head coach Bob Davie, New Mexico has failed game after game to execute its defensive tasks and the key fundamentals that have led to big plays for opposing offenses. That was the case for UNM’s defense once again in a lopsided 58-23 loss to No. 17 Arizona State at University Stadium Saturday night.
In response to Constraints strain Cottagers’ conduct Editor, The new constraints on residents are what happens when people who claim to be adults don’t act like it and don’t understand why. Sincerely, Brian Butcher Daily Lobo reader
Editor, I would like to compliment Jason Darensburg on his insightful article in the Daily Lobo of Friday, Sept. 5, 2014. It is a very brave thing to deliver such a clear and insightful argument confronting today’s biased and willingly dishonest American media outlets. As an exchange student from Amsterdam I was delighted reading such a profound peace of journalism in a university newspaper.
Editor, I just wanted to say a great THANK YOU for a column like “U.S. needs to stem violence, not support it.” It talks about very important issues that I feel are not covered in the media enough.
Editor, Thank you for the great article “Fine Arts lacking vital money for upgrades” in Wednesday’s paper. I would like to make a correction. The department in the article is the Department of Art and Art History, which is a part of the College of Fine Arts, but there is no Fine Arts Department at UNM. Although we are working constantly to keep the building looking good and working well, it is too old and too small for such a large number of faculty and students.
A trip to Peru, a trek into the Amazonian rainforest, a life-changing encounter with a shaman and a powerful psychedelic brew: These are the ingredients of a compelling TED talk. On Saturday, UNM research scientist Robert Rhatigan will speak at the TEDxABQ conference, sharing the story of how he conquered crippling alcoholism with the help of ayahuasca, an ancient psychoactive drink made from rainforest plants. Rhatigan, who does research in geospatial and population studies, said his goal at the conference is to be an ambassador on the power of psychedelic plants and non-traditional therapies in the treatment of addiction. “I want people to walk away understanding that psychedelic substances are not something that are simply drugs of abuse that people use for hedonistic reasons, recreation, whatever,” he said.
The New Mexico State Auditor’s office is reviewing a recently published UNM internal audit report that found embezzlements in the UNM Student Bar Association’s finances. On Aug.14, the UNM audit department issued a detailed report of its investigation into the financial embezzlement in the Student Bar Association’s account from 2011 to 2013. The report laid out a timeline of the mismanagement of funds and made recommendations to keep another incident from happening in the future.
International Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness Day is next week, and members of the Health Sciences Center community will spend the day spreading awareness about the disorder – and their facility. The nationally recognized research center opened last month, but it has been in development for a few years, Dr. Daniel Savage, Neuroscience Department chair, said. “The center is about improving the health and well-being of the citizens of New Mexico,” Savage said.
Roger Waters, founding member of the legendary rock band Pink Floyd, has been a harsh critic of the Israeli government for many years.
Head coach Jeff Nelson opened the 2014 volleyball campaign with a rigorous schedule to prepare his unit for conference play with intentions of winning a Mountain West championship. “Our goal is to build towards a conference championship,” Nelson said in the preseason press conference.
By Isabel Gonzalez With the first game out of the way, the New Mexico men’s soccer season is picking up speed, especially with the nation’s top-ranked team coming to town. This weekend, fifth-ranked UNM will host the Lobo Invitational featuring American University, UC Riverside and No.
Upsets don’t occur too often in Lobo Land. UNM will not only be facing 17th ranked Arizona State on Saturday, it’ll be trying to beat history as well. Historically, the Lobos have been putrid against the AP Top 25 with just a 5-50 overall record.
Refugees from around the world are getting support they desperately need, while students working with them are learning life-changing lessons. UNM’s Refugee Well-Being Program is a two-semester course that pairs sociology, psychology and anthropology students with refugees living in Albuquerque.
Student loan borrowers will soon have better options when it comes to paying off their debts. The U.S. Department of Education announced Friday that federal student loan servicers now have more incentives to help keep students from defaulting on their loans. Among these incentives are a customer satisfaction survey, which will serve as an indicator as to which servicer gets the most loans. The better the satisfaction scores, the more loans it may provide.
Student residents at the Cottages of New Mexico said they are unhappy with recent changes made by the property’s management. Residents of the housing development, which is marketed to college students, received an email over the weekend stating that each resident will be allowed to invite one guest at a time, and parties will no longer be permitted. Previously, residents could invite up to five guests and register a party with management that could run until 2 a.m. Brianna Gallegos, a junior multimedia journalism major, said living at the Cottages is different than she thought it would be since the implementation of the new rules.
Indie film “The One I Love” may have attracted attention at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, but it doesn’t live up to the hype. Instead, this movie clearly demonstrates that the Rotten Tomatoes/Metacritic system is broken. “The One I Love”? More like “The One I Shove” in front of a bus. It’s an abysmal movie; don’t see it. Unfortunately, I did, so I’m going to very specifically and carefully explain how and where it sucked the most.
Hundreds of runners climbed, balanced and went through an obstacle course in order to help less fortunate families that face much harder challenges every day. The inaugural Rebel Donut Dash’s 5K run raised money for The Storehouse so it can continue to support many of Albuquerque’s homeless and poverty level citizens. Carrie Mettling, owner of Rebel Donuts, said she had the idea of hosting a food related fundraiser as she made doughnuts in her local shop on morning.
Books have the power to reveal who we are, and they also have the power to influence what we do. The Associated Students of the University of New Mexico President Rachel Williams said she feels books have changed her perspective on the world. Aside from being the president of ASUNM, Williams is a senior with a double major in political science and international studies.
UNM could be looking at heavy fines if the Department of Education turns its eye on the University. According to an internal auditor’s report released in mid-August, UNM is “not substantially compliant” with the Clery Act, which requires schools to properly communicate and monitor campus safety issues. The school is working immediately to resolve the issues, said Deputy UNM Police Chief Christine Chester, who was also named interim Clery coordinator based on the auditor’s recommendation.
