A good pair of lungs is required to sing for a century, and the UNM Choral program has 400 of them. It started in 1910 with 26 men and women and grew to 400 members.
Lights glowing from the Yale Parking Structure make it difficult for University astronomers to search the skies from a nearby observatory.

Snapped. The UNM men’s basketball team’s four-game conference winning streak was halted Saturday in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Alford, who was 7-0 against the Rams, said UNM is just going through a phase where it simply can’t hit shots.
Editor, In my year and a half on the ASUNM Student Court, we have not heard a single case. This isn’t to say that we’ve done nothing in this time.
