The atmosphere in Keller Hall Monday for the screening and discussion of “The Two Towns of Jasper” — a documentary film about the racially motivated murder of a Texas man, was open and calm. The event moderator, Marsha Hardeman, began the event by asking the packed crowd questions like, “How many of you have been involved in a racist or discriminative situation?” Very few people raised their hands.

A decade ago, a gangly, greasy rocker from Chicago released Siamese Dream and gave millions a feeling of fetal warmth using androgynous vocals and soothing cadence as his vehicle. Then he shaved his head and looked like a fetus.

The UNM jazz program has a deep vein of talent, as was proven Thursday night in Woodward Hall when the jazz band classes I and II showed off their talents.

Andrea Cook believes she was chosen by Gov. Bill Richardson to be UNM’s student member of the UNM Board of Regents because of her knowledge and familiarity with the University campus and community. “I served as the UNM undergraduate student body president and was a student adviser to the regents during my stint as president of ASUNM,” Cook said.

I received an interesting e-mail petition the other day, titled "Impeach Bush." In fact, a Web site has actually been created at www.votetoimpeach.org for this online petition. Most people are aware of online petitions -- one just went around earlier this month asking to boycott Vanity Fair and writer letters to the magazine for printing a column that many in the Hispanic community found offensive.
The UNM men's golf team grabbed a share of second place in the John Burns Invitational near Honolulu, Hawaii Feb. 19-21.
