Guns don’t make moral judgments

September 20

Editor, After reading “Defend your rights on campus with AK-47” by James Burbank in last Friday’s Daily Lobo, all I can say is what a ridiculous letter that was. There is no substance to the letter at all, only hysterical ranting about how people may arbitrarily start shooting other people over a bad grade or their perception that someone is annoying. Obviously, the intent of the article was to criticize conservative politics and states that support the Second Amendment. Unfortunately, Mr. Burbank exhibits no reason and provides no facts or common sense to support his position.

Corruption in “Loot” mirrors ABQ discord

Justino Brokaw | September 20

Joe Orton’s “Loot,” currently playing at the Vortex Theatre, is a British play which is perfectly relevant to modern day Albuquerque. Because Albuquerque is dealing with its own police shootings and alleged abuse by authority, the themes of “Loot” match our city near perfectly.

The Weekly Free

Hunter Riley | September 20

The Daily Lobo knows you are just counting the days until fall break (23). We also know you are counting pennies to save up for that long weekend getaway you want to take.

Beers before tears: football tailgaters party hard

Luke Holmen | September 19

While winning hasn’t been a consistent part of the UNM football season, tailgating has. Students packed parking lots this Saturday to tailgate prior to the Texas Tech home game.

Protesters demand culpability for APD shootings

Michael Howland-Davis | September 19

More than 60 people braved the rain Saturday to speak out against allegedly brutal police practices that have led to an abnormally high number of police shootings in Albuquerque. Albuquerque police officers have gunned down one person a month for 20 months — 14 of those shootings have been fatal.

Vilified Spongebob teaches tolerance

Charlie Shipley | September 19

In this era of almost monthly natural disasters, global climate change, and with what seems like everything from broccoli to Tastykakes contaminated with deadly bacteria, it’s nice to know that the nation’s university professors are researching and conducting studies of the evils of our time, like SpongeBob Squarepants.

Little mistakes add to large loss

Mundo Carrillo | September 19

Not even the weather stopped Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege. In a game hampered by two lightning delays, Doege helped to defeat the Lobos 59-13 on Saturday at University Stadium, setting a new NCAA completion percentage record. Doege threw for 401 yards and five touchdowns and completed 40 out of 44 passes.

Water polo club paddles past costs, obscurity

Nathan Farmer | September 19

The UNM men’s water polo team is relatively unknown on campus, but it has made real strides in the past two seasons in the Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC). “It’s been a slow buildup over the past couple years, but since last season we have picked up a lot of momentum from our coach and having committed players,” senior Bryant Shuey said.

Tied game decided by last-minute goal

September 19

UNM senior Roxie McFarland lined up to take what might have been the Lobos’ last chance to win the game. With the scores tied at one on Sunday, UC Riverside gave up a foul just outside of the penalty box with a little over a minute remaining.

Boxing bout foul robs fans

Cesar Davila | September 19

The one word I can use to sum up a sporting event I watched on Saturday: disappointing, and I am not talking about the UNM football team’s lost to Texas Tech. I’m referring to the highly anticipated fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Arkon next in winning streak?

Nathan Farmer | September 16

As Lobo football prepares to face powerhouse Texas Tech on Saturday it isn’t the only UNM team gearing up to play a ranked opponent on national television. The No. 16 ranked UNM men’s soccer team faces No. 4 Akron tonight in Akron, Ohio, on national television on the Fox Soccer Channel at 5 p.m.

Defense key to stop Texas Tech

Mundo Carrillo | September 16

It hasn’t been an easy two weeks for the UNM football team. Last week the Lobos played No. 13 Arkansas, and this weekend they will play Big 12 powerhouse Texas Tech at University Stadium. The Red Raiders are coming off a 50-10 win over Texas State.

Slow start, optimistic future

September 16

The UNM women’s soccer team is coming off of two straight losses against Oregon State and Washington, but they may be able to salvage its record when the Lobos host Cal.

Top art programs, decrepit building

September 16

by Marjorie Crow Daily Lobo Guest Columnist Concerning the article about building maintenance in Tuesday’s paper, I can’t speak for all UNM buildings, but the Art Building issue is not strictly about maintenance.

Defend your rights on campus with an AK-47

September 16

Editor, Here’s one of the best ideas to come along in years. Naturally it came from that bastion of enlightenment Texas, the state that gave us George Bush, Rick Perry and the death penalty for most of its citizens.

Opinion

Gardasil vaccine worse than the disease it’s for

September 16

Editor, In response to Sarah Coffey’s asinine letter in Thursday’s Daily Lobo regarding the Gardasil vaccination, I would like to take a moment to encourage everyone to run a Google search for how many young girls have died or experienced complications after receiving the vaccine. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has 68 deaths listed as of June 22 of this year; however, the CDC is notorious for claiming vaccines don’t cause any problems, so I’d take its reports with a grain of salt.

UNMH construction drafted, cost unclear

Charlie Shipley | September 16

The main building of UNM Hospital will be demolished to make way for a proposed new Adult Acute Care Hospital as part of the UNM Health Sciences Center (UNMHSC) Master Plan.

Engineering teachers dunked to raise money

Michael Howland-Davis | September 16

How do you build a better dunk tank? Add an engineering student, a barbeque grill, a water pump and about 20 feet of copper tubing. “I think the dunk tank worked just fine — I mean look at me,” Professor Arup Maji said, sopping wet after a few rounds in the dunk tank.

Search firm partner aids at-risk students

Charlie Shipley | September 15

The front man of UNM’s presidential search said he’s seen firsthand the difference education can make. Alberto Pimentel, a managing partner of Storbeck, Pimentel and Associates, grew up in east Los Angeles, an area notorious for its poverty and high crime rates. English wasn’t Pimentel’s first language, and he and his siblings were the first in their family to go to college.
