It’s time for solar energy in NM

Sun: it’s everywhere. Get used it. That might as well be the motto of the entire American southwest, especially New Mexico and Arizona. The entire region is blessed by the perfect intersection of several climatological and meteorological factors

Dr. Pegs Prescription

Oct. 1 was a big day in American health care history, the day the online insurance marketplaces opened up under the Affordable Care Act. From now until March 31, 2014, you can go online to healthcare.gov and shop for the plan that fits you best. There is a lot of information out there, I know, and I don’t mean to overload you.

The Lobo Letter

First off, I’d like to congratulate the Lobo football team on its 66-17 victory over NMSU. The game sold out of student tickets, which is something that hasn’t been seen in quite some time. Together, let’s make it a goal to sell out of student tickets for every sporting event.

Student has fighting spirit despite obstacles

Angelica Torrez is just another face on campus to most who see her. However, getting to know her, she is so much more than that; she’s smiley and happy, always chatting with anyone interested in sharing a moment with her. She’s never alone, constantly surrounded by friends and always so happy to be alive.

Drought requires new agriculture

We prayed for rain and then we prayed for it to stop. Drought has been an increasing reality of New Mexicans’ existence over the past few years. Of the majority of the western United States declared drought-stricken this year, New Mexico was one of the most affected, with the last three years being both the hottest and driest on record.

If you are feeling sick, is there a way to determine if you have a bacterial versus viral infection without going to the clinic? For example, temperature? Swollen glands? Green snot? Coughing up stuff?

Hateful Lobo trolls are hateful

Where have all the trolls gone? Recently, the Daily Lobo took the admirable step of changing its online comment submission policy to help combat the epidemic of hateful, insulting remarks being posted anonymously on the site by internet trolls.

#RelationshipStatus: New hope for a hopeless romantic

Do you consider yourself a “hopeless romantic”? Why? What does it actually mean? It has been said that when one door closes, another one opens. But a few weeks after I stopped seeing Phillip, I couldn’t find a new door, and started to lose hope in the possibility of love this semester.

Time for a new look at direct current?

I’m here today to discuss one of the classic debates of our time: that of AC/DC. Now, you can put away your Angus Young signature edition Gibson guitar and your turntable. I’m talking about alternating current versus direct current

“After Raymond died, some people thought I should get over it. But you never get over the death of a child,” Elaine Plotkin told me. Elaine’s son Raymond was a freshman at UNM in the fall of 2009, the year the H1N1 flu took the nation by surprise.

The Lobo Letter

Everyone knows that faculty members teach our classes. Some, such as lecturers, our unsung faculty heroes, teach four or even five classes every semester; and some, such as those with “professor” in their title, teach fewer classes because they have other responsibilities.

Thorium better for nuclear power

It’s widely agreed that cheap access to electricity is a good thing for the average person. However, what’s not so easy is providing that cheap electricity in a manner that won’t cause environmental devastation.

#RelationshipStatus: Friends, but not with ‘those’ benefits

When we were younger, we used to always have sleepovers with friends. Our parents ordered pizza, we watched Disney movies, and attempted to stay awake all night but eventually crashed by 10:30 p.m. Sleepovers have gotten significantly more fun now that we are older, but why are they so much harder to get?

For-profit power is unsafe

As of September 16, Japan has shut down the last of its nuclear power plants for an indeterminate amount of time pending safety inspections. Due to public pressure, they do not have a set reactivation date;

Dear Dr. Peg, Some managers on campus are downright nasty bullies.  What can employees, student and otherwise, do to protect themselves from hostile work environments?  How can employees deal with the daily stress and fear from controlling, uncivil and disrespectful supervisors?

The Lobo Letter

Each year the UNM Staff Council selects a theme to help frame its activities for the year. This year, the theme is “Caring for U.” The theme has an outward focus because what we do as staff is serve you.

Every human being deserves love

Whether you’re so pale you’re pink like me, or you’re turquoise like a Smurf, it doesn’t matter if you love someone of the same gender or someone of the opposite; you’re entitled to the love only Hollywood can portray.
