'We bungled,' administrators say

Isaac Avilucea | November 4

Straight from UNM President David Schmidly: The University of New Mexico “bungled” its investigation into the Sept. 20 physical altercation between first-year head coach Mike Locksley and former wide receivers coach J.B. Gerald. Flanked on the right by Athletics Director Paul Krebs and on the left by Vice President of Human Resources Helen Gonzales, Schmidly repeatedly denied that the University concealed any findings of its investigation.

Practice free speech, but exercise respect, responsibility

November 4

Editor, Yes, it’s fun to read the writing of the few sardonic dimwits who write into the Daily Lobo about things that don’t matter and are honestly a waste of our time to read, but the issue is that some people have no respect for others and feel like they can say whatever they want without any reason, and that can often offend people. I first started reading the article, “It’s time for UNM’s fat people to change their ways,” in the Daily Lobo because it looked informative for overweight people to stay healthy or become fit.

Obesity letter should have addressed the real problem

November 4

Editor, This is in response to the Victor Murthy column published on Tuesday: I agree with you that obesity and weight-related conditions are a current and future problem here at UNM, but I felt your column attacks the people who are overweight, and not the issue of obesity and weight-related issues directly.

Murthy letter not well-written enough to be called satire

November 4

Editor, I am writing in response to Victor Murthy’s column on obesity. Among the reader responses online, there’s a contention by some that the column is fashioned as a satire “in the spirit of Jonathan Swift.” If that’s the case, then it is what some would call an “epic fail.” Swift’s piece about making fricassee out of children is clearly not meant to be taken seriously, despite the appalling nature of this “modest proposal.” Murthy’s piece is poorly written, not amusing and lacking in any rhetorical or literary devices that constitute a “political satire.” However, if this is not the case, and Murthy’s intent was to publish a self-flagellating and hateful piece of tripe, then he has succeeded.

Plague acting

“One Flea Spare” preys on the public’s latest favorite obsession: infection. Set in a house quarantined from the rest of Europe during the Black Plague, the play deals with issues such as class, distortion and repressed sexuality, said Director Ryan Jason Cook.

Cowboys crushed at exhibition game

Isaac Avilucea | November 3

New Mexico Highlands must have forgotten Tuesday’s game at The Pit was an exhibition matchup. The Cowboys then apparently remembered at halftime, came out flat, were run through the cleaners and arrived out the other side neatly pressed. No chance — the UNM men’s basketball team, led by point guard Dairese Gary, powered to victory in its first off-the-books game, 98-68.

Students rooted on the men’s basketball team from section 26, the student section, during the exhibition game against New Mexico Highlands University at The Pit Tuesday. Due to the renovations of The Pit, there will be less seats available for fans.

Pit renovations limit student seating

Mario Trujillo | November 3

Section 26 will not be touched during The Pit’s new renovations — but that doesn’t guarantee all students will get tickets come game day. Due to The Pit’s $60 million renovation, 3,000 seats in the mezzanine will be off limits, lowering the capacity of The Pit from 18,018 to a little over 15,102 and reducing the amount of potential overflow seating for students. And if past attendance is any indication of this season’s attendance, those 3,000 seats will be missed, said Wesley Henderson, president of Howl Raisers.

Holiday declared in author's honor

Andrew Beale | November 3

Mayor Martin Chavez declared a new holiday in Albuquerque. Oct. 30 is Carlos Fuentes Day. In a statement, Chavez declared the holiday in honor of “Mexico’s greatest living writer,” who visited UNM Friday. Chavez did not attend the campus event. Fuentes, whose most recent work is The Death of Artemio Cruz: A Novel, gave a speech titled “Mexico in a Nutshell” in the SUB Ballroom, and was available for book signing afterward. Fuentes recounted the history of Mexico from the time of the Aztecs to present day.

Heritage celebration gains support

Staff Report | November 2

American Indian Heritage Month should be exciting, thanks to a host of events from American Indian Student Services. Members of the Walatowa dance group will perform in the SUB Atrium today, and a UNM President’s Office representative and the director of Native American Studies will speak, said Pamela Agoyo, director of American Indian Student Services. Agoyo said this year’s recognition of American Indian Heritage month has had more community participation than in past years. “I think that this year we’ve had a more concerted effort and collaboration across campus between our office and Native American Studies and our student organizations,” Agoyo said.

Pit to open despite construction

Ryan Tomari | November 2

For nine months, the sounds of machinery and clanking metal have replaced the sounds of bouncing basketballs at The Pit. But that’s about to change. Tonight, UNM’s 42-year-old arena will open up to the public when the Lobos take the court in an exhibition match against New Mexico Highlands.
