The Lobo lineup will remain intact when the UNM women’s basketball team (4-2) travels to NMSU on Wednesday, but point guard Amy Beggin will see diminished minutes due to a fatigued ankle — the same ankle she had minor surgery on in the offseason, said head coach Don Flanagan. Beggin, who played nearly 40 minutes per game last year, started off the season in similar fashion, playing all but two minutes through UNM’s first three games.

No stall doors in restroom potential health and safety standard violation Male students and employees are paying for “illicit sexual activity” that occurred a dozen years ago in the men’s bathroom near the north entrance of Popejoy Hall. The Physical Plant Department administration removed stall doors from the bathroom in the late ‘90s after reports of criminal sexual activity, said Gary Smith, associate director of Environmental Services at PPD. “The reason the doors were taken down was because of the illicit sexual activity that took place in there,” he said “The new art building is the same way because apparently (the) same things happened there.”

Editor, I’m writing in response to Donald Gluck’s letter to the editor titled “PIRG has leftist agenda, should not be allocated fees.” Improving health, protecting our environment, high-quality education, safety, etc., are not left or right issues.

UNM students are aligning with a national organization to correct a minor deformity that plagues children worldwide. Students organized the UNM chapter of Operation Smile, a national non-profit organization that helps kids with cleft palates and lips get corrective surgery.
What starts as a candlelight vigil might become a public debate about health care. On Thursday, Democrats from the Albuquerque area are gathering at Nob Hill to honor Americans who have passed away because they didn’t have health care.
Two armed security guards greeted UNM students as they walked into their Peace Studies class on Tuesday. Although the scene was unfamiliar to students, it has been all too familiar for the guest lecturer, Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. “We had two death threats before coming in,” Weinstein said.

Unfortunately, at the conclusion of Saturday’s Thanksgiving Midtown Tournament, the UNM women’s basketball team (4-2) wasn’t able to say “Winner, winner — turkey dinner!” University of Toledo’s (5-2) menacing zone was the brainteaser the Lobos could never decipher, especially at the tail end of the game, resulting in a 62-56 loss for UNM.
Opposites might attract, but it was fatal attraction for the UNM football team and head coach Mike Locksley when the Lobos faced TCU on Saturday. The Horned Frogs (12-0 overall, 8-0 in the MWC), at the other end of the spectrum record-wise, trounced the Lobos (1-11 overall, 1-7 in the MWC), 51-10, in Fort Worth, Texas, capturing the Mountain West Conference championship outright and getting a bid for a Bowl Championship Series game.
It’s tournament time for the UNM volleyball team. After finishing the regular season 20-9 and clinching third place in the Mountain West Conference, the Lobos received one of 33 at-large bids into the NCAA Tournament, marking the sixth postseason appearance in program history and the UNM’s first tournament trip since 1994. Head coach Jeff Nelson said his team earned the distinction. “We’re so thankful to the NCAA Selection Committee for putting us back into the tournament after a little bit of a drought,” he said.
