When the UNM football team returns from its so-called company retreat in Ruidoso, Mike Locksley might want to consider chartering a flight and booking a separate vacation. Not only will Locksley have to contend with the day-to-day managerial pressures of coaching a team that went 1-11 last year, but awaiting him when he and his team return from an 11-day practice excursion in the mountainous town are the stresses associated with a long-expected lawsuit, stemming from a Sept.

Editor, On the front page of its Mail Out edition, which I believe goes out to all incoming freshman as well as alumni, the Daily Lobo published an article about UNM’s allegedly below-par graduation rate.
During the Daily Lobo’s three-week break, I grabbed a couple cameras and my notebook and headed down to the Gulf Coast to do a multimedia project on the oil spill (as well as a print piece for another Albuquerque publication). Three friends and I drove the 20-plus hours to Grand Isle, La., one of the hardest-hit coastal towns. The town has only one road, and it’s lined with dozens of houses on stilts, which help to protect the island’s 1,500 residents during hurricane season.
A week after New Mexico-based attorney Dennis Montoya filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque on behalf of former wide receivers coach J.B.
Let the legal showdown begin. As promised — and expected — former UNM wide receivers coach J.B.
The New Mexico-based attorney for former wide receivers coach J.B. said in a phone interview Tuesday that his client was given the right to sue by the Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission, after an investigation into the physical altercation between UNM head football coach Mike Locksley and Gerald. Dennis Montoya, who represents Gerald, added that the 90-day clock requiring Gerald to file his lawsuit within the outlined parameters has already started and that, while Gerald has until Sept.
Editor, I was really interested in the political cartoon in the Daily Lobo the week of July 19. It implies that the stimulus will be the death of the Democrats.

Jumbled in the labyrinth of litigation, among the supposed exposés, and building and falling evidence of admissions and retractions, is the proverbial, high-stakes, good-guys-bad-guys game, one that will be viewed through discriminatory lenses depending on what side of the chicken wire you’re on.
So you’re new in town. Don’t you want to know where the music is? It’s all over the place, really.
Twenty years ago, there were dozens of used bookstores surrounding campus. Though that number shrank significantly, there are still a few places where bookworms can go to indulge in their passion for literature. Bird Song, on University Boulevard and Central Avenue, draws dozens of readers looking to buy or sell books while Book Stop, tucked away on the 3000 block of Silver Avenue, is a brick-and-mortar front to an intimate setting. Despite a shrinking market, used bookstore owners remain optimistic about their futures.
