UNM 125: Three men’s sports cut for 1999
James Barron | July 18Printed April 1, 1999 In what was called a “painful, but very necessary, decision,” by UNM Athletic Director Rudy Davalos, the UNM Athletics Department announced it would cut the funding of three sports for the 1999-2000 fiscal year. Those cuts mean the elimination of men’s swimming, men’s gymnastics and men’s wrestling teams from the athletic program. Davalos said in a news release the cuts were necessary because the department did not have enough resources to support 24 athletic programs. “Maintaining programs that are regionally and nationally competitive was a condition of membership in the Mountain West Conference, and we will allocate all of our resources to ensure that our remaining sports can achieve excellence,” he said in the release. The department said the elimination of the three sports is expected to reduce department expenditures by approximately $175,000 for its 1999-2000 budget, and its savings will eventually grow to more than $300,000 annually.

UNM 125: Lobos take Wildcats 62-53 in opener

UNM 125: $4,000 of goal yet to be filled
July 18Printed December 17, 1948 As the Lobo went to press yesterday, the Co-operative Bookstore Campaign fund hit the $16,000 mark with $4,000 in pledges still to be signed. With the option on building to house the bookstore extended until Monday, Student Council members were hopeful of reaching the $20,000 goal by noon Saturday – the absolute deadline, Dick Barrett, campaign chairman, said. Pointing out that students and faculty members may sign more than one pledge, Barrett announced that the Associated Student office will be open all day Friday and Saturday morning to issue new and additional membership pledges. Barrett also issued a call for more volunteers to canvass classes and individual students now making the rounds of classes in session, many instructors are giving the sales talk for them. Now in its fourth week, the bookstore campaign appeared to be winding up to greater proportions after a slow start in its early days. The increase in pledges signed is due largely to an intensified campaign, Barrett said, noting that as the campaign gained impetus, more volunteers showed up to aid in canvassing the campus. AS plans for the bookstore are set up, each student will buy one shared in the project at $5.00 per share, and will receive dividends on that share.
