The UNM track and field team’s venue changed hastily, but it had little effect. The Lobos — after a long, successful indoor season — racked up eight first-place finishes and several personal records over the weekend at the Tailwind Invitational at the track and field complex.
Perhaps this will finally be the year the UNM football team needs that third digit on the scoreboard. The Lobos, in their first spring scrimmage Saturday at University Stadium, displayed the big-play capacity they’ve lacked for the last two years. Quarterbacks Stump Godfrey and Tarean Austin took all the snaps, and neither turned the ball over in the Lobos’ 90-play scrimmage.
Severe winds didn’t slow down the UNM men’s soccer team. The Lobos notched two exhibition wins Sunday — against Fort Lewis (3-2) and Colorado State-Pueblo (5-0) — at Robertson Field.

Editor, What kind of leader would you like to be? Our involvement in Libya may not seem related to the health of our planet, but it brings up interesting issues.
Editor, If you truly desire happiness, become aware of what is truly happening in each moment. Immerse yourself in that and deal with it as best as you can and leave everything else to whatever is the Source of All That Is. Our species has two choices: 1) Refuse to mature to our potential, continue to divide into warring camps and play the juvenile game of “win/lose,” which makes us all losers and ensures that our species cannot survive.
Editor, I’m writing the nearly identical letter to one I wrote several years ago when a previous University president, upon announcing a tuition increase, earnestly commented that ”UNM really is a bargain — cheaper than most of its comparable state universities.” The problem with this statement, repeated over and over again by university administrators, is that New Mexico was, and still is, one of the poorest states in the union with high unemployment levels, even in good times. Furthermore, most of our employed citizens earn less for comparable jobs than their peers in other states.
The UNM men’s soccer team is doing its own version of spring training. The Lobos will play two exhibition games Sunday against Fort Lewis at 10 a.m.
The Bracketbusters are breaking down college basketball’s classist narrative. Little attention has been devoted to the Connecticut-Kentucky Final Four matchup, so much diverted to the little guys’ coming-of-age.
by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu UNM community members will remember student Beatrice Dominguez-Meiers’ life at a memorial service Saturday morning.

Editor, First off, I’d like to thank Rep. Joseph Dworak for his words of opposition to ”mud-slinging” in campaigns.
UNM Battle of the Bands is not a win-at-all-costs affair, but an avenue for creating alliances. The battle showcases up-and-coming students who have less performance opportunities than established bands, said Bryan Jurus, director of Student Special Events.
