Moving services center will tie students to weapons maker

Editor, I read the Oct. 13 article "Town hall to address plans for Student Services" in the Daily Lobo and was troubled by its implications. First, President David Schmidly assured us (in the dehumanized parlance of neoliberalism) that moving vital services to the Lockheed Martin building off campus would "improve customer service.

Survey asks students how UNM can improve parking, transportation

ASUNM is asking students to take a survey in an effort to improve UNM's parking and transportation. However, many students doubt Parking and Transportation Services will listen to their complaints. In a survey conducted from Sept. 8 to Sept. 12, most students said parking is the No.

'Out of hand'

The UNM football team mauled San Diego State on Saturday at University Stadium. In a lopsided affair, UNM obliterated the Aztecs 70-7. Head coach Rocky Long said he couldn't remember ever winning by such a large margin. "The game got out of hand," he said.

Ask Dr. Peg

Dear Dr. Peg, I don't feel well. What is the best way to access Student Health and Counseling? Do I need an appointment? Should I come in or call? Can I get help online? You can call for an appointment, come in and make an appointment or come in and be seen the same day.

Lobos slip to BYU in hard-fought battle

The BYU Cougars lived up to their name Saturday at the UNM Soccer Complex, pouncing on opportunities. The Lobos had a strong performance, tying the game in the second half, but lost 2-1. The loss dropped the Lobos to 7-5-4 overall and 2-3-0 in the Mountain West Conference.

Schmidly's son withdraws application for sustainability job

President David Schmidly's son was hired last week as associate director of sustainability, a job that pays $94,000 per year. But on Sunday, Brian Schmidly withdrew his application for the position amid accusations of unfairness. "I care too much about sustainability in this state and at the University of New Mexico to operate in an advocacy role in which I would not be effective, and my wife has convinced me that my integrity and reputation are too valuable to continue in an environment where they will be questioned indefinitely," Brian Schmidly said in a statement.

Check the facts yourself instead of relying on media

Editor, This is a response to the column "Barack Obama: the bad man" by Benjamin Sanchez from Wednesday's Daily Lobo. I realize Sanchez's main point that he is trying to get across as far as Obama having a weak character for being in association with some individuals.

Column: 5 weeks into NFL season, it's still anyone's game

Trying to figure out the NFL is harder than predicting New Mexico weather. Two weeks ago, I wrote a column proclaiming that the NFC had dethroned the AFC as the best conference in the NFL. It seemed the NFC East was clearly the best division in the entire league.

Golfer carries on dad's driving passion

Steve Saunders has iron running through his veins. Since he can remember, he has been involved in golf. His father, Dave Saunders, was a member of the NMSU golf team back in his heyday. "My dad owns a golf store here in town called Golf Mart," Saunders said.

The University returned $50,000 to the Daily Lobo's financial reserves Tuesday afternoon. UNM took the money to fund campus departments running deficits. President David Schmidly and Vice President David Harris decided to return $150,000 to several organizations they had taken funds from, including the Lobo and groups in the SUB, according to a UNM news release.

Column: Barack Obama: the bad man

The good man desires the same thing with all his soul. This brief but profound sentence sums up Aristotle's teaching on the good man. We can understand this sentence by starting with Aristotle's examination of the bad or weak man. He struggles with doing what is right and often does what he knows to be bad.

NM offers fertility options for couples who can't conceive

Editor, While it is important to publicize new fertility resources in nearby Colorado, it is equally important to inform our community that they can receive similar reproductive treatments such as in vitro fertilization here in Albuquerque. The Google search for "New Mexico IVF" reveals that the Center for Reproductive Medicine of New Mexico is an IVF group in Albuquerque.

UNM plans running attack to topple San Diego State

The UNM football team will try to redeem itself after losing to No. 9 BYU by 18 points. The Lobos will maintain the same Rocky-ball game plan - running the ball and controlling the clock - against another Mountain West Conference opponent Saturday when San Diego State stumbles into Albuquerque.

Udall talks energy during UNM visit

Rep. Tom Udall said he wants New Mexico to be the Saudi Arabia of wind and solar energy. The senatorial candidate said a bright economic future awaits students who are prepared for the alternative-energy market. Udall, who is running against Republican Steve Pearce, took questions from a crowd of about 30 people in the SUB Atrium on Tuesday.

Column: Finding faith in God, T.O. and the Cowboys

I recently contracted a case of the Cowboy blues. In recent weeks, God's existence oscillated in my world, especially in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. One minute - when Nick Folk hit a 52-yard field goal to send the game into overtime - there was no doubt in my mind, God subsists.

Group discounts Columbus, honors American Indians

UNM students protested Columbus Day on Monday, celebrating Indigenous Day instead. The Native American Studies Indigenous Research Group hosted the festivities, starting with a sunrise prayer at 7 a.m. Mario Atencio, co-chairman of the group, said self-empowerment among American Indians is important.
