Band's punk status falls short

To the listener who has developed the fine aural palate for music, the distinction between punk and pop-punk is vast. However punkish the members of the Montreal-based band Simple Plan appear, no matter how many times they denounce pop music - says drummer Chuck Comeau, "even though the songs are catchy, they're never really pop" - and no matter how many authentic punk bands they thank in the obligatory thank you list, they just can't avoid the obvious truth that they are nothing more than a simple, mediocre pop-punk outfit.

Lobos lackluster in victory

A record-breaking performance by Quincy Wright and a couple of big plays saved UNM from an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Weber State University Wildcats Saturday night at University Stadium. Wright finished the night with the all-time single-game record for rushing yards with 267 yards on 27 attempts with three touchdowns.

The Wright stuff

On the first play from scrimmage, University of New Mexico tailback Quincy Wright proved that he is a man to be reckoned with this year. Wright shaked and baked his way through the middle of the Weber State University defense and scampered into the end zone for a 34-yard touchdown run 19 seconds into the game.

LETTER: Tobacco addiction is the greatest cause of disease

Editor, Oh well, I guess Editor in Chief Angela Williams is right. We're all going to die anyway, damn it. I guess we shouldn't do anything about second-hand smoke or tobacco or the tobacco companies, because they have too much money anyway and it just doesn't really matter.
