GPSA’s special election about the UNM Athletics Administration saw a record turnout, and all four questions on the ballot passed by margins of at least 30 percent. “This is an unprecedented number,” said GPSA President Lissa Knudsen.
The Queer Resource Center is one step closer to becoming a reality at UNM. The Graduate and Professional Student Association unanimously passed a resolution Saturday in support of the center.

TCU couldn’t — and didn’t — invoke whistle-blower status at The Pit on Saturday. It would be easy — and dull-witted — to attribute the UNM women’s basketball team’s 60-53 marquee victory over No.
Coaches usually don’t like resorting to a zone defense. At least UNM women’s head basketball coach Don Flanagan doesn’t.
Two time zones, two days and two athletes making statements. The UNM track and field team is a force to reckon with, especially runners Lee Emanuel and Rory Fraser, who broke UNM records over the weekend. Fraser’s altitude-adjusted time beat Emanuel’s old record in the 3,000-meter run. Emanuel, the reigning NCAA indoor mile champion, posted his second career sub-four minute while competing at the Indiana Relays Invitational on Friday.
Editor, Below is an election question, word for word, from the GPSA. Does this look like a fair election question?
Editor, Supposedly, this is a smoke-free campus, and allegedly one is only allowed to use tobacco in designated areas.
Editor, Many years ago, I was a student at UNM and had many classes at Mitchell Hall. I had fond and not so fond memories, the degree of fondness being directly related to how often I attended class in any given course. For some years I have wondered, who was the “Mitchell” in Mitchell Hall? I have asked a number of in-the-know UNM officials and my question has always been met with the response, “I don’t know.” Perhaps there is an easy answer and it may be that the history of Mitchell Hall has been the subject of a Lobo article. I only see the Daily Lobo if I happen to be strolling through campus and pick up an edition. If so, please ignore this letter. But if not, it would be an interesting assignment for someone at the paper. This evening, I did walk through campus and admired the renovation to the building.

With no national health care plan in America’s immediate future, the Student Health and Counseling Center is working to reduce insurance costs for students. The UNM Student Health Insurance Committee met Tuesday to discuss how to make health insurance affordable with benefits. Beverly Kloeppel, Student Health Center director, said students need health insurance because health care is expensive without it.
State Sen. Eric Griego is taking time from his hectic schedule to send a message to UNM President David Schmidly: “In a bad economy where we’re asking students to pay more tuition, how do you justify two or three hundred thousand dollar salaries for 20 folks?” Griego introduced “Good Fiscal Judgment for UNM Salaries” to be voted on by the New Mexico Legislature.
Is anything sustainable? Newton’s laws of physics tell us that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
Editor, On Wednesday, UNM staff members arrived to uproot the “Hokona Community Garden,” a sustainable vegetable garden started by one of the dorm’s residents, Alex Borowski. In what was a dirt pit, sprouting weeds and collecting cigarette butts, there is now lettuce, kale and broccoli.
Editor, Last Friday the Daily Lobo featured an article entitled “Not all centers created equal.” In the article a UNM student talks about her experience at one of the five local Care Net Pregnancy Centers.
Last weekend, Peyton Manning won a game while losing — and it was terrifying. It happened late in the first half, with the Colts down 17-6 to the New York Jets.
Perhaps the UNM ski team should scrap collegiate competitions and just head straight for the Vancouver Olympics. Hyperbole aside, the UNM ski team is good — darn good. During the second week of competition, UNM jumped to the top spot in SkiRacing.com’s NCAA power rankings. Although the power rankings for college ski teams are new this year, it’s an amazing feat to accomplish, said UNM junior skier Martin Kaas. “It’s kind of cool to go out, get a good start right away and we will definitely try to (keep the No.
The Hokona Garden will no longer grow on the UNM Campus. “Our school has the six core fundamental principles, and the sixth one is sustainability.
