Birmingham proud of baseball team despite few drafts

At times this season, the New Mexico baseball team had the poise and mental fortitude of a former league champion. In other instances, though, UNM displayed the immaturity and mental lapses of a young team trying to hold its place atop the Mountain West, leading to an uneven season for the Lobos.

Albuquerque grasshopper plague normal

Nature is calling, but it’s not the chirping of the birds or the swooshing of the trees. This year, it’s the call of grasshoppers. There’s nothing to worry about, though — this is a pretty regular occurrence, according to Dr. David Lightfoot, associate research professor of biology and senior collection manager for the Museum of Southwestern Biology. The sudden abundance of grasshoppers is a result of the heavy rain last fall and a mild winter, which caused a high survival rate, he said. “It’s typically about every five to 10 years (that) the weather conditions will be just right so there will be a big population of these, so it’s not that unusual,” Lightfoot said. The grasshoppers’ prosperity will also be short-lived, he said. “It’s a real temporary thing,” Lightfoot said.

Baseball: Lobos expect MW tournament to be rough

The New Mexico baseball team finished atop the regular season standings for the third year in a row, but unlike the previous seasons, the Lobos won’t be the No. 1 seed at the Mountain West tournament. That distinction belongs to the host team UNLV, who tied UNM for first place in the MW thus becoming co-champions.

Look back at ABQ theater highlights

Albuquerque theatre and the Daily Lobo have taken another turn around the globe. There has been a lot of senseless tripe, such as the tasteless gall of producing “Cats” of all things, but also some wonderful and amazing productions that I feel utterly blessed to have been able to see and write about.

Students de-stress by slacking

Students are de-stressing before finals the best way they know how: by slacking. The slackline community at UNM — or Slackers, as they like to be called — is a small group based on campus that meets nearly every day to relax and try their hand at balancing on a rope, known as a slickline, tied between trees.
