Dancers chaotically spin and leap over rows of plastic water bottles, all of which are knocked over and then gathered in a segment of “The Good Dance.” Avant-garde African and Aboriginal-inspired contemporary dances will make their way to Albuquerque this weekend and the next at Global Dance Festival.
Kermit was lying when he said, “It isn’t easy being green.” The Home Builders, Remodelers and Green Ideas Showcase is coming to the Albuquerque Convention Center this weekend to prove it.

Until UNM starts its own community garden, students can take their food into their own hands. Container gardening was designed for people who don’t have enough space for a garden bed, for places with poor soil quality, less-than-optimal sun exposure and for many other problems one might encounter while greening their thumb. Chuck O’Herron-Alex, owner of Veggiegrower Gardens of New Mexico, said container gardening is perfect for students.

Editor, Reporter, photographer and Palestinian propagandist Mohammed Omer Saleh Al-Moghayer, who uses the professional name Mohammed Omer, will speak at UNM this week, following on the heels of fellow propagandist Ziad Abbas.
Editor, As a staff employee at UNM for nine years now, I’m still constantly stunned by students and staff that call the entire Center for the Arts complex “Popejoy Hall.” In the April 6 edition on page 5, the caption under the picture reads “sits in the shadows of Theatre X in Popejoy Hall on Monday.” Popejoy Hall, built in 1966 as UNM’s handshake to the city as a 2,000-seat performing arts center, is but one of four venues in the Center for the Arts.
We all have had some experiences as kids growing up that make us apprehensive about facing life. I never thought that marbles would scare me to death.

On March 30, someone pretended to be ASUNM senatorial candidate Kristen Sandine and posted a comment on Dailylobo.com, saying opposing candidate David Conway was instrumental behind the February 15 stabbing. So the Daily Lobo has come up with a comment policy: We will not remove comments because we disagree with them, but we reserve the right to take down a comment if it is a libelous or unnecessarily hurtful attack on an individual or group.
