I’d like to know exactly what circumstances in Laura Valdez’s life constitute “oppression.” She is employed at a university filled with upwardly mobile, educated and diverse Hispanic students. She has a job and a guaranteed right to free speech and liberty.
The road-hardened UNM softball team's longest home stretch of the season begin this weekend with doubleheaders against the University of Utah Friday and Brigham Young University Saturday.
A new group called Campus Watchers is trying to draw attention to sexual assault on campus and hopes to bring the UNM community together to fight the problem. The group is made up of members of the Agora Crisis Center, a student-run crisis hotline; Students Educating Peers About Sex; Triota, a Women’s Studies honor society; Rainndrops, a national anti-sexual assault group; and Albuquerque Rape Crisis Center. “This isn’t a response to any single incident, it’s more of a response to the complacency and lack of knowledge about sexual assault,” said Jeremy Jaramillo, president of Students Educating Peers About Sex. “You can read a lot into the word ‘watchers’ and understand what this group is about. We want people to become more aware and watch out for others on this campus.”

After the adversity the UNM women’s basketball team went through this year, dealing with the pressures of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament championship game was a reward for the team’s efforts toward the end of the season.
The UNM women’s basketball team suffered a bitter disappointment Wednesday night, losing a nail-biter in the National Invitation Tournament Championship to Ohio State University 62-61 in The Pit. The Lobos lost a late lead because of some careless mistakes, and the Buckeyes made several clutch plays in the final minutes to get the victory. UNM could not get going offensively all night and helped keep OSU in the game with some untimely turnovers. The quickness of Buckeyes bothered the Lobos offensive sets. “Their pressure got to us and that was the difference,” Lobo head coach Don Flanagan said. “They got out in the passing lanes and we had way too many turnovers. The main thing was that they were too quick.” The sellout Pit crowd stood in shock as Ohio State thwarted a Lobo celebration with two long 3-pointers by tournament Most Valuable Player Jamie Lewis and four free throws.
Please stop reporting on what Stanton T. Friedman says about UFOs and “aliens.” He is not a nuclear physicist and has never provided proof of ever being one, nor can you find any real physicists who know of him working in that field.

UNM student and playwright Susan Erickson’s production of “Good Grief” is an unconventional meditation on relationships and death, which conveys a mystical atmosphere with live music and dance.
I am writing in response to Jeremy Toulouse’s letter on Tuesday, “Lobo funding cut highlights the Senate’s inexperience.” Mr. Toulouse, after reading your response, it is clear to me that you either misunderstood Sen. Nichols’ letter or are fully unaware of the work the ASUNM senators do for the UNM campus.
What makes a movie successful is a filmmaker’s talent and ability to portray humanity, life and truth. If these elements exist, everything else usually falls into place.
Usually myths evolve from cultures, but sometimes individuals attempt to create them. Such is the case with Canadian poet and author Chris Bell’s “Tales of the Lost Cheebah-Ha,” a book of fictional myth Bell created by drawing from the plentiful banquet of worldly cultural myths.
One ASUNM committee allocated $882 to Students Educating Peers About Sex to fund salaries for the rest of the semester, while another passed three changes to the Law Book Wednesday night.
Some songwriters try to immediately bowl you over, and others use more subtle methods to slowly creep under your skin. Nels Andrews fits into the latter category.
