Editor, I am writing this letter in response to Patricia Roybal-Caballero’s letter “Hispanic Education Act will close academic gap in NM.” While there is a huge achievement gap between Hispanic students and other ethnic groups, the passing of this legislation is ignoring the problems faced by every other ethnic group in New Mexico.
Editor, The UNM Women’s Resource Center is very concerned about campus safety. The latest attack on a student reminds us that campus safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Editor, Currently I am a student attending classes at CNM in the evening. Because of this, I often take the UNM shuttle and walk across UNM’s campus in the evening.
Editor, Thank you all for commenting on the opinion letter written by Patricia Roybal Caballero. Hopefully you can be present during a DREAM Act forum where the League of United Latin American Citizens will be sponsoring the event alongside El Centro de la Raza, and MexSA sometime in April.
“Dead Man’s Cell Phone” deals with the most important question regarding the afterlife: What happens to our cell phone after we pass on?
You don’t have to go to Italy to be immersed in Italian language and culture. Instead, you can go to the 4th Annual New Mexico Italian Film Festival that began on Sunday. The festival is usually held over the course of one week, with film screenings such as “Gomorrah,” and, “100 Nails,” at multiple theaters around Albuquerque, such as the Guild Cinema.
Planes without engines soar under the cerulean expanse and o’er the rocky desert of Moriarty. It’s not magic, or so says Rick Kohler, a glider pilot with over 7,500 hours in the cockpit.
It’s no secret that property crime is common around UNM, and Mayor Richard Berry is not happy about it. Berry said he is planning to tackle the property crime problem and unveiled his plan to do so January. “Eight out of 10 crimes committed in Albuquerque are property crimes,” he said in a Daily Lobo interview.
Art is endless, said senior Sean Alkire. Alkire and Lauren Carvalho are showing their works at the John Sommers Gallery Friday.
The grammar in Facebook postings or instant messages might make some teachers cringe, but not North Carolina State University Professor Chris Anson.
Heath Schroyer was dressed appropriately for the occasion. The Wyoming head coach suited up in all black for the Cowboys’ burial in the depths of The Pit on Wednesday, as the UNM men’s basketball team blitzed to an 83-61 win. The only thing that was remotely in doubt — other than another UNM win — was if Lobo fans would get their reduced-price tacos from Taco Bell on Thursday (the fast-food restaurant hands out cheap tacos if the Lobos score 65 points or more) — that is until UNM guard Jamal Fenton drained three free throws with 9:49 to go in the game, giving UNM a 67-37 advantage.
UNMPD released a sketch of a “person of interest” officers would like to interview in connection with the Monday night stabbing of a UNM student.
I’m taking a sustainability class. We’re talking about food sheds, or the perimeter around Albuquerque in which getting food from is considered local and sustainable.
From reading the tea leaves of the last five games, the UNM women’s basketball team (14-9, 6-5 MWC) should walk away from Wyoming with a win. Over the last five games, at home, the Lobos have lost to teams with worse records than them — with the exception of a win over TCU — and beat teams on the road which were ranked above or equal to them in the Mountain West Conference.
If there are any rules of chemistry in the sporting world, especially in the realm of college athletics, it’s that winning with a young team is nearly impossible. But head coach Steve Alford’s Lobos are the exception to the rule in the college basketball table of elements. The Lobos, 12th in the Associated Press poll and 15th in ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ poll, are 23-3 overall and 9-2 in the Mountain West Conference and are looking for their 10th straight conference win.
The UNM community is responding to the earthquake in Haiti with on-the-ground support. The New Mexico Disaster Medical Assistance Team sent 23 doctors — six from University Hospital — to Haiti for a two-week deployment.
Mike Westervelt, ASUNM vice president, is planning to pass legislation to provide more lighting on campus to make sure a repeat of Monday’s student attack doesn’t happen again. “I don’t want there to be any more dark places where this kind of thing can happen,” Wester said.
Larissa Lewis, mother of murder victim and former student Kerry Lewis, said the lack of security at UNM and surrounding areas is appalling. That’s why she protested Tuesday outside of President David Schmidly’s office and in front of UNM on Central Avenue. “Why isn’t he out here?
UNMPD officers say they may have found a motive in the stabbing of a UNM student Monday night on campus: The assailant allegedly slashed the woman’s throat for her cell phone. The victim told UNMPD officers that her attacker came up from behind her as she was talking on her phone, a BlackBerry, and slashed her neck while he snatched the device. The victim, a UNM student and employee, is reportedly in satisfactory condition at UNM Hospital, according to UNMPD spokesman Robert Haarhues.
