Student Life plans to issue new Lobo IDs with more security features next year. Many of the details haven’t been worked out yet, according to the SUB administration, but the new IDs are slated to be issued in late spring. Walt Miller, associate vice president for Student Life, said students’ Social Security numbers are programmed in the barcodes of Lobo IDs, but the new Lobo IDs will hold another UNM-issued identification number instead. With the new cards, Student Life also hopes to make LoboCash available at venues off campus, said Chelsea Stallings, ASUNM senator and voting member of the SUB board. These venues will include nearby restaurants such as Frontier and Saggio’s, the parking structure on campus and concession stands at University Stadium and The Pit.
Students, enjoy the unlimited free printing in campus IT pods while you can. Starting in the spring, Information Technologies is imposing a limit on the number of sheets of paper students can print.

The UNM women’s basketball team didn’t have enough speed or force to stop Oklahoma State on Wednesday. The Cowgirls tired out the Lobos in the semifinals of the preseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament at The Pit, 70-56, putting the Lobos 2-1 in the season. “We played a good first half, but in the second half we couldn’t shoot,” said head coach Don Flanagan.

In the last column I wrote, I mentioned the large number (25 percent) of women who never orgasm during sex. While doing some research for this column, I was surprised to come across letters online at a great Web site called KinseyConfidential.org.
Part of what makes New Mexico the Land of Enchantment are the dozens of hot springs found all over the state. But most people don’t stop to consider that those relaxing springs are fueled by something slightly less peaceful: fiery hot magma. Tobias Fischer, an associate professor for earth and planetary sciences, said the state is rich with magmatic activity. “The youngest eruptions we have out in Grants are not that old, about 10,000 years or so,” he said.
Editor, On Tuesday, a letter asked us if we believe in “destiny” or “fate.” It might as well have asked us if we have free will or freedom of choice to decide who we want to be and who we can make ourselves out to be.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — What the UNM men’s basketball team learned Tuesday at the Pan American Center: The Aggies aren’t hemophiliacs. Yes, NMSU bled — for that matter poured in the first 20 minutes of Tuesday’s contest, down 16 at intermission — but eventually the blood coagulated, and the Aggies’ apparent mortal wound didn’t turn out to be as deadly as first thought. When all was said and done, the Lobos eked out a 97-87 victory over their inner-state rivals, marking the Lobos’ fourth consecutive win over NMSU, two of those wins coming in Las Cruces.

Techno Guy and the SUB have worked out a deal, but it won’t necessarily bring peace and quiet to campus. English Professor James Burbank led a complaint against the loud music played by Josh “Techno Guy” Arellano outside the north end of the SUB last month. Since then, Arellano met with Ryan Lindquist, associate director of the Student Activities Center, to determine an appropriate volume level to play his boom box. “We had three meetings with Josh to work on his volume out there,” Lindquist said.
