Review: “1989 (TV),” I've been waiting for you

Elizabeth Secor | November 6

Since the “1989 (TV)” announcement in August, Taylor Swift fans have eagerly awaited her fourth re-recorded album. With only two more to go, excitement builds with every re-release. I was excited to kick off Halloweekend with old bangers like "Style" and "New Romantics," and my Spotify was set up right at release time. One of my favorite things about being in New Mexico is that Taylor releases her albums at 12 a.m. Eastern Time, which is 10 p.m. here. As the sweet and upbeat tunes of “Welcome to New York” filled my room, I knew that Taylor Swift had slayed yet another re-release.

Letter: A Chicano's Journey in ASUNM: Navigating DEI at an HSI

Julián Ángel | November 6

My involvement with the Associated Students of The University of New Mexico (ASUNM) began with an Emerging Lobo Leaders application, which was rejected. As a first-generation college student from rural New Mexico, this revealed the need for better cultural understanding within ASUNM. My first year at La Universidad de Nuevo México (UNM) marked a profound cultural awakening through the Chicana and Chicano Studies Department. Chicanismo means bridging past, present and future while embracing our heritage and navigating Anglo-centric spaces.
