Women's soccer: Lobos must clean up play at the 18s, coach says

J.R. Oppenheim | September 2

At this early stage in the women’s soccer team, head coach Heather Dyche acknowledges that there are some things her team needs to work on. Among them, Dyche said, the Lobos need to clean up their play inside the 18-yard box. Issues inside both UNM’s box defensively and Colorado’s box offensively plagued the Lobos in Sunday’s 4-0 loss at Colorado, she said. “I think they were the better team,” Dyche said at the first coaches’ luncheon of the year on Tuesday at University Stadium. “I’m not trying to say we deserved to win that game, but I think a 4-0 result would suggest it was a 4-0 game, and it wasn’t. We created enough. We had some brilliant opportunities and we didn’t put them away."

Associate prof. studies censorship, surveillance on the Internet

David Lynch | September 1

Subjects such as Internet censorship and freedoms are becoming increasingly discussed as modern society moves further and further into the Digital Age. Jed Crandall, an associate professor of computer science at UNM, studies incidences of censorship and surveillance on the Web to get an idea of where inconsistencies may lie. Some of Crandall’s research efforts involve studying Facebook censorship in certain countries, but his team is currently taking on a much bigger project: measuring Internet use daily over three years and attempting to log almost every instance of censorship on the Web. The Daily Lobo speaks with Crandall about these issues:

Activists go without for topless equality

Robert Maler | August 24

It was 95 years ago that American women secured their right to vote. Today, another battle has begun: a campaign for topless equality. About 50 people gathered near the UNM Duck Pond on Sunday to celebrate Go Topless Day, an event that advocates a revision to Albuquerque’s nudity ordinance, which allows men to walk about the city without wearing a shirt, but outlaws the same act for women. Event organizer Andrea Runyan said the demonstrators had one simple goal, which was to promote equality in public toplessness.

UNM researchers study transforming cultures in developing countries

Sayyed Shah | August 24

New jobs are beginning to emerge in developing and underdeveloped countries. Economies are opening up and people are moving to major cities in search of new career opportunities. Agrarian societies are turning into industrial societies. A UNM researcher is examining how these recent changes in socioeconomic opportunities affect the distribution of wealth in China and Bangladesh. “Previously, these societies have been agrarian and most people subsisted in fairly similar ways. Everyone was a farmer and everyone had similar things. But now that the economies are opening up and they are integrating with regional economies, people have different opportunities,” said Siobhán Mattison, assistant professor of evolutionary anthropology.
