Editor, This letter is in reference to the last Doing It In The Duke City column, by Hunter Riley. Though Ms. Riley organizes and expresses her thoughts very well, her advice to women, “it’s time to let go of your porn inhibitions,” is stunningly immature and myopic.
Editor, I am writing in support of Andrew Beale’s recent column. Regardless of the details of the engagement that killed the two Reuters photographers, his overall point stands.
Editor, Andrew Beale’s last column is ill-informed, offensive and idiotic. He claims that the “United States government is the largest terrorist organization operating today,” but fails to even bother fact checking before he published.
Editor, I am writing on behalf of myself and the GPSA Elections Committee to apologize for mis-listing Martín Gutíerrez’s name as “Martinez” in recent ads.
Editor, I was pleasantly surprised to see that UNM is cutting two vice-president positions to save costs.
Instant gratification is an unfortunate byproduct of living in a microwave era. In that regard, Lobo football head coach Mike Locksley’s glass-half-full approach has, so far, worked against him. With great aplomb, Locksley defiantly professed to be a handyman when he was hired in December 2008 to refurbish a well-erected foundation.
The UNM softball team increased its losing streak to 10 after a 10-5 loss to BYU on Thursday. BYU started right off the bat, bringing in four runs in the first inning.
Whatever you do, don’t get in his way. He’s a mean, brute force and a downright violent rugby player out on Johnson Field. Alex Melad, a member of the UNM club team, truly defines what a rugby player should be. “He is one of our key players on the team,” said teammate Drew Riordan.
The other five matches had ended. Tied at three, the entire UNM men’s tennis team and Boise State stood opposite each other, cheering on Lobo Jadon Phillips and Boise State’s Filipp Pogostkin as they dueled in the deciding match at the Linda Estes Tennis Center on Thursday.
UNM men’s basketball head coach Steve Alford is not a pool enthusiast. Nonetheless, he keeps aptly pocketing big-time prospects. The Lobos officially announced their five 2010 signees.
The New Mexico Rail Runner opened Wi-Fi access to all passengers for a 90-day trial, but Rail Runner commuters say they have wiped out while trying to surf the Web. Rail Runner spokeswoman Augusta Meyers said the $2.5 million Internet service contract will be finalized with the provider after the three-month trial.
The Kappa Sigma colony is applying to regain its charter as a fraternity at UNM after losing it two years ago in an incident involving alcohol and a gun. Greek Life Adviser Jonathan Gayer said the group will have to pass an application process and get approval from UNM’s Greek Life Department. “The way things happened was the fraternity was removed from campus, and their charter was revoked.
The animal companions of conquistadors still roam New Mexico, and one organization is trying to make sure they don’t run off into the sunset. The New Mexican Horse Project, founded 12 years ago, is raising awareness about the New Mexican Wild Horse with an educational presentation this weekend, said Paul Polechla, UNM research biology professor. “This involves Hispanic people, Native American people, African American, Anglos — anybody that was anybody and their brother and sister, mom and dad, grandpa and grandma,” Polechla said.
Transparency, better representation and budget cuts were just a few of the topics discussed at the GPSA presidential candidate forum on Thursday.
As the sun set on tax day, the Albuquerque Tea Party movement began its rally against government growth and spending. Hundreds of protesters lined Menaul Boulevard from San Pedro Drive to Wyoming Boulevard on Thursday to support the conservative political movement. ATP Organizer Robert Young said followers of the movement wanted to urge government to return to the U.S.
While you might be planning a trip to Century 24 this weekend to check out the hyper-violent “Kick-Ass,” or Neil LaBute’s ridiculous-looking take on ”Death at a Funeral,” you might consider attending ”The Class.” Don’t worry, it’s not an actual class, even though it is presented in Mitchell Hall room 122.
A knee shaking, toe tapping Lazaro “Laz” Cardenas sat visibly nervous in the ASUNM senate hall waiting for 8 p.m., when the ASUNM election results would be tallied — not knowing he would be elected the next ASUNM president by more than 400 votes.
Mark Pappler is fed up with being disturbed every time someone cooks in his on-campus apartment building. The reason for his exasperation is the new fire alarm system installed in UNM’s student family housing units, Pappler said. “They just put it in and set it at a very sensitive level, and when it goes off, every unit in the building where the alarm emanated from goes off simultaneously,” he said.
Editor, The law school wants to secede from the union. It reminds me of the teabaggers holding signs with misspelled racial slurs while they yell, “Tell the government to keep their hands off my Medicaid.” Teabaggers do not know that the government program they benefit from is Medicare, and the leaders of the law school secession movement don’t understand they are supporting policies that destroyed the math department. There is speculation that the regents are behind the law school’s actions.
