Editor, I am happy to see that at least the first three responses to Don Schrader’s letter are positive and civil. John Newton wrote one of the most popular hymns in the world — even in venues that do not hold to Christian principles or doctrines.
Editor, What’s next? Let’s see. On Jan. 21, when the Supreme Court granted corporations at least the rights that persons have in this country, that resulted in persons not having any say in who gets elected to public office. Corporations have gained the right to spend unlimited money to elect whoever favors them gaining more power or block the election of whoever is opposed to them gaining more power. That was January.
Have you noticed UNM classrooms and public spaces are slightly dirtier than usual? I have. It hit me while sneaking behind some cabinets to catch a phone call in the library.

LAS VEGAS — Wyoming, pack the bags and go home; TCU, stay another day. The ninth-seeded Horned Frogs defeated eighth-seeded Wyoming 70-61 Tuesday to advance to face top-seeded BYU in the Mountain West Conference tournament quarterfinals.
LAS VEGAS — War is how the UNM men’s basketball team is describing it, but for those tired of the oft-used comparison, it’s more appropriately a game of Risk. On the line: an appearance in the Mountain West Conference tournament quarterfinals, and a likely date with No.
State workers and public school teachers might have to pay more than 12 percent of their salaries toward retirement starting July 1. HB 628, which extends an increase of 1.5 percent and tacks on an additional 1.75 percent to workers and teachers, passed the House in a 43-26 vote Monday.
The Lobo Village clubhouse was up, running and fully furnished for its opening Wednesday, but Lobo Village is still under construction and won’t open until August. Residents can’t move in until August 17, but Lobo Village General Manager Brent McPherson said residents have to pay for the entire month of August, not a prorated portion.
LAS VEGAS — Call them the flavor of the month. Forward Porche Torrance had two key blocks on Wyoming’s Aubrey Vandiver in the final 1:59, and the seventh-seeded Lobo women’s basketball team leaned on stingy, physical defense to shut down third-seeded Wyoming 67-61 Wednesday, setting up an improbable semifinals matchup against second-seeded TCU.
Editor, John Newton was a brutal slave trader more than 200 years ago. He purchased slaves along the coast of Africa.
Editor, Principal photography for “Haley,” the UNM Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media program’s groundbreaking movie, wrapped the other day.
It has been an intense week in the House chamber of our state Legislature: razor-thin voting margins, unprecedented parliamentary procedures, three calls of the House for three straight days. The politically and emotionally charged issue of giving driver’s licenses to foreign nationals was at the heart of last week’s events. It is an issue that has been brewing since Gov.
LAS VEGAS — The Thomas & Mack Center crowd couldn’t help the home team Tuesday. Fifth-seeded Utah took out the eighth-seeded UNLV women’s basketball team 55-44 in the first round of the Mountain West Conference tournament. First-year head coach Anthony Levrets earned his first MWC tournament victory, after replacing former head coach Elaine Elliott who took a leave of absence before the season started.
LAS VEGAS — Of all things, it was a 1981 hit song that inspired the Air Force women’s team to earn its second-ever Mountain West Conference tournament win. Shaking up the bracket, the ninth-seeded Falcons defeated fourth-seeded Colorado State 66-63 in the first game of the women’s MWC tournament on Tuesday.
LAS VEGAS — Might it be madness that UNM women’s basketball team’s head coach Don Flanagan loves the month of March? Maybe, but in getting past sixth-seeded San Diego State 65-57 in the first round of the Mountain West Conference tournament, the Lobos found new life Tuesday — but they might have expended too much energy to secure that second chance. To pull off the victory, Flanagan said he didn’t want key players to log a lot of minutes.
LAS VEGAS — The Lobos’ seed was unfamiliar, but the outcome was familiar. The seventh-seeded UNM women’s basketball — unfazed by its lowest seed since the Mountain West Conference’s inception — took its first step toward winning a sixth tournament championship with a 65-57 win over sixth-seeded San Diego State on Tuesday at the Thomas & Mack Center.
