UNM sophomore point guard Mandi Moore and shortstop Dusty Young of the baseball team are this week's New Mexico Daily Lobo Athletes of the Week. Moore delivered in crunch time Saturday night hitting four consecutive 3-pointers en route to a 91-85 overtime victory over the University of Miami.
For the second straight outing, the UNM men's golf team struggled against a strong field -- this time at the Morris Williams Intercollegiate in Austin, Texas, March 16-17. "I think that in these last two tournaments, our inexperience and lack of maturity have really gotten exposed," head coach Glen Millican said.
Lobos win 2 against Utes The Lobo baseball team went 2-3 over spring break, dropping two games No. 20 Arizona and winning two of a three-game series with the Utah Utes. Shortstop Dusty Young continued his hot hitting, extending his hitting streak to 26 games.
by Dustin Habermann Daily Lobo Guest Columnist In response to France's betrayal of our war on Iraq, legislation has come up to change the name of "french fries" to "freedom fries." In my humble opinion, this is just what our country needs to help boost morale for the war.
by Holly Wray The Maneater (U. Missouri) 03/21/2003 (U-WIRE) ALICANTE, Spain -- I've never been proud to be an American. But this is the first time I've ever consciously tried to hide my nationality. In the past few weeks, when I've spoken in broken Spanish to professors at my Spanish university in Alicante, to librarians when I checked out books, to train station employees when I bought tickets for weekend trips, I spoke quickly and quietly, trying to conceal my American accent.
For a moment late Saturday night, UNM's Mandi Moore looked forlorn. Sitting on the dais at The Pit's interview room after the Lobos' 91-85 overtime victory over the University of Miami, a look of pain passed over the sophomore point guard's face as teammate Chelsea Grear talked about the first half of the game.
The last week has not only seen a flurry of activity among U.S. soldiers overseas, but also among community members who are protesting the ongoing war in Iraq. Since the war began Wednesday, and for a long time before it started, there have been community-wide protests in Albuquerque, the majority of them occurring right along the campus border.
Editor, I beg every reader to take a minute and imagine how the violence and hostilities in Iraq might feel in the heart of an international student at UNM. Contrary to accepted prejudice, not all of them are terrorists. Indeed, what I have witnessed from them during 25 years is fascination and relief at finally living in such a free society.
To the UNM community: As historic events unfold in Iraq and around the world, the University of New Mexico community will strive to deal constructively with the breadth, depth and consequences of recent and breaking developments. As individuals within the UNM community -- students, faculty, staff -- each of us will deal with our own feelings about the situation.
The Lobos and Jordan Adams put on a show in their 91-85 overtime thriller victory over the Miami Hurricanes Saturday night at The Pit. Adams led the Lobos with 27 points, seven rebounds and eight blocks. Posting her 336th block, Adams tied Luc Longley's UNM career record.
UNM police are looking into nine separate instances of graffiti vandalism at campus buildings -- all expressing anti-war themes and occurring only hours after the first attacks on Iraq. The anti-war messages, including "War is murder;" "Bush is a terrorist;" and "No war," were spray painted onto the walls of the Navy and Air Force ROTC buildings, the north wall of the Fine Arts Building and along the south wall of the city reservoir on South Redondo Drive sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
by Jennifer Onuska ASUNM President and Duff Lill ASUNM Lobby Director Earlier in the year, we told you about our ASUNM lobby initiatives. We are pleased to announce that we feel optimistic about all of our goals. Our fist priority was to keep any tuition credit -- tuition increase -- as low as possible.
UNMPD Graduate student on bike struck by instructor's car A UNM graduate student was taken to University Hospital after she was struck by a car and knocked off her bike near campus.

Firefighters responded to a report of smoke coming from the water pump station on Redondo Drive near Yale Boulevard at about 5 p.m. Sunday. As smoke poured from the building's windows, three city fire trucks and a unit from the Albuquerque Hazardous Materials Response Team arrived on the scene.
Staff Editorial University Daily Kansan (U. Kansas) (U-WIRE) LAWRENCE, Kan. -- It's not a mystery why 21-year-old Toni Smith has come under criticism. Smith, a women's basketball player for Division III Manhattanville College, turns away from the American flag during the "Star-Spangled Banner" before each of her team's games.
What a difference a year makes. Last year, when the UNM women's basketball team gathered to watch the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, they sat nervously hoping they wouldn't be passed over. This season, having returned home with the MWC tournament title and automatic bid to the Big Dance in hand, their nails were safe - these Lobos knew they were in.
by Vincent J. Narducci Daily Lobo The UNM Bookstore received a new addition this semester, black metal knobs, otherwise known as skatestoppers added to handrails that are meant to prevent personal injury and property damage. "We've had a number of injuries to people," said Robert Dunnington, campus safety manager.
