UNMPD detectives are investigating an allegation of a criminal sexual penetration that occurred at a fraternity house late last month — the third sexual assault of its kind reported to campus police this academic year. “That (case) is still under active investigation,” said UNM Police Department Lt.
by Scott Wacholtz The Miami Hurricane (U. Miami) (U-WIRE) CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Over the last few months, actor Martin Sheen, who portrays the President of the United States on the NBC television program “The West Wing,” has appeared at a number of anti-war rallies and was the star of a TV commercial advertising the “virtual march on Washington” to protest a possible war.
UNM has reached a settlement agreement to pay $10,856.54 to the United States government for fraudulent bills submitted to Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party insurance providers by Dr. William L. Johnson, former medical director at the University Hospital Pain Management Clinic.
The M.C. Hammer mentality that says a music group needs more than 10 members to succeed doesn't apply to the rock/metal/grunge duo Jucifer. In fact, the two, who are actually a married couple, do just fine on their own. Their new album I Name You Destroyer proves exactly that.
by Sean Misko Daily Collegian (Pennsylvania State U.) (U-WIRE) UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Far from the scripted “shock and awe” promised by military planners, the first official shots of the U.S.-led war with Iraq were brief and took many experts by surprise.
by Jen Kosakowski Daily Targum (Rutgers U.) (U-WIRE) NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — It has become increasingly obvious to me in recent weeks that there has been a surge in writings that vilify and invalidate the anti-war activist. There has never been much tolerance for dissent in this nation, but the proliferation and escalation of such rhetoric and its attempts to disengage anti-war activists should be questioned.
The University's Board of Regents announced Friday a list of five candidates that the 18th president of UNM will be chosen from by the end of the semester. The announcement comes five months after regents formed an 11-member search committee to examine applications and interview candidates from a pool larger than 100.
While most UNM students were catching up on much needed rest or just partying until the break of dawn this spring break, the Lobo women's basketball team was very busy. UNM clinched an automatic birth to NCAA tournament with its three-game sweep of the Mountain West Conference Tournament.
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.
