COLUMN: Lawful right to bear arms

by Craig A. Butler Daily Lobo Columnist Last week, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled on the legitimacy of California's semiautomatic assault weapons ban.

UNM opposed to tuition increase

UNM Budget Director Curtis Porter addressed the ASUNM Senate Wednesday in a tuition forum to outline the University's stance on funding priorities and tuition credits. Porter said that students are often confused by the term tuition credit because it sounds as if the University is gaining revenue.

'Insomniac' showcases Attell's wit

Comedian Dave Attell, host of the Comedy Central TV show "Insomniac with Dave Attell," calls the show "'E!'s Wild On' for ugly people." I respectfully disagree. The show is more like the bar portions of "Blind Date" mixed with "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" and a lot of cheap beer.

Progressive, energetic step group Molodi take act to new level

The members of Molodi are feeling "pretty ambitious"-- at least that's how Juan Carlos Bagnell, one of the step dance group's founding members, describes the group's first full-length show at the Tricklock Theatre.

COLUMN: Affirmative action could be of more use to poor

The Supreme Court's announcement to revaluate an ambiguous 1978 decision of affirmative action in higher education is indeed a polemic area that will galvanize flagrant outbursts on either side of the spectrum regardless of the final ruling. Several white students recently filed a lawsuit against the University of Michigan based on the rejection of their admission to the college's undergraduate law school.

Choir concert more than voices

by Dustin Habermann Daily Lobo When was the last time you did something nice for your mother? That's what I thought, you negligent monster. Well, here's a hint -- she doesn't want to see the new "Jackass" movie. How about an evening of music? Tonight, the University Choir and the University Symphony Orchestra will perform two favorites of the choral repertoire, Vivaldi's "Gloria" and Faure's "Requiem," conducted by Professor Bradley Ellingboe and Professor Jorge Perez-Gomez.

Epoxies bring fun '80s sound to Launchpad

by Abel Horwitz Daily Lobo Albuquerque is the perfect place for a concert. It's between so many major cities - Dallas, Phoenix, Denver - that bands make our town a stop on their tours. Apparently the bands usually get a good crowd and we love those independents.
