Lobos win overtime thriller over San Diego State Aztecs
By Edge Garcia @DailyLobo
With an opportunity to advance to their first Mountain West title game in school history, the University of New Mexico Lobos had their largest November home crowd since 2008, with over 30,000 fans in attendance — a game they won’t forget.
On Friday, Nov. 28, UNM pulled off a 23-17 win over the San Diego State University Aztecs to advance to 9-3 overall, and 6-2 in conference play.
From explosive touchdowns, turnovers and big defensive stops, the game had a little bit of everything in it.
Despite being tied for the best record in the conference, the Lobos will not be playing in the conference championship. The decision was made by computer metrics since not every team in the four way tie played each other. The Boise State University Broncos will host the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels on Dec. 5 for the conference championship, the third consecutive meeting of the two teams.

Architecture school demonstrates camaraderie in finals prep
By Preston Rogers @DailyLobo
With one week left in the semester, each day is more and more stressful. Piles of scrap cardboard and chipboard lay everywhere as University of New Mexico architecture students prepare for their final review. Although this is a time of stress and urgency, it’s a bonding experience for many.
From late nights working through problems with fellow classmates preparing for a final review, these relationships can be only obtained
in architecture school at the School of Architecture and Planning. A strong studio culture has been built with students regardless of year, collaborating together whether in studio or down in the Fab Lab. The studio culture built in the architecture program at UNM is one of a kind.

It’s halftime at University Stadium, the University of New Mexico Lobos are down by four against the San Diego State University Aztecs, the score is 14-10. The crowd is going wild; it’s time for hot dogs.
Six UNM students took to the field and were placed before several mountains of hot dogs. The clock started and they had to eat as many as possible in two minutes. Lobo Louie and Lobo Lucy cheered on the contestants, the crowd roared,
the contestants consumed hot dogs at undeniable speeds. The buzzer sounded and the winner emerged. The Glizzy Champion was crowned and received a special Glizzy Champ football jersey. The stadium went wild, giving the Lobos the energy to push ahead in the second half and beat SDSU 23-17. It was the hotdogs; they won UNM the game.

Migratory birds land for wintering at the Rio Grande
By Paloma Chapa @paloma_chapa88
Starting in mid-November, the Rio Grande river has become the temporary home for thousands of migratory birds, including Sandhill cranes, mountain chickadee and Canadian geese, according to the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge.
Migratory birds are attracted to flooded fields and wetlands with reliable food supply. The local Bosque ecosystem provides this habitat, with Albuquerque being within one of the four major bird migration corridors in the United States, according to the National Fish and Wildlife Service.
These ideal conditions are increasingly less reliable as the Rio Grande river water becomes scarce
from less snowback, according to Source NM. Dry conditions were visible this year as ponds once filled to their banks and teeming with geese and herons last year were now cracking soil with mud puddles, and hikers could walk on soil that was once the river.
Dry bosque conditions limit habitat for birds, insects and other species that provide essential nutrition, causing some scientists to predict that if this trend continues migratory birds will avoid New Mexico entirely in decades to come, according to Source NM.

Surrounding architecture enhances the learning experience
By Preston Rogers @DailyLobo
Most buildings on campus are designed in a manner that best suits what is being taught there, and George Pearl Hall is an excellent example of this. Two of five floors are filled with studio spaces where students in their second year and up each have their own space, providing an environment that can be adapted to their needs.
Throughout the building its infrastructure is exposed, allowing students to measure steel beams and use the infrastructure as a guise
Campus wildlife prepares for winter
By Maria Fernandez @DailyLobo
Even as winter slowly creeps onto campus, there is no lack of wildlife and beauty for students to catch as they walk to class or take a rest. Ducks have returned to the Duck Pond, now leisurely
for their work. The building’s “Crit Bridge” is a cradled bridge over the underground courtyard that serves as multifunctional space for holding events, student reviews and as exhibition space for student work. It’s not just these spaces, the entire structure is used as a reference for students as they continue to learn and develop their own projects.

on sunny days. The trees that have yet to lose their leaves that still glow bright yellow and red, while the rest have shed, covering the ground all over campus with leaves for crunching. A small helping of flowers continue to bloom near the Duck Pond, though most of the campus rose bushes have gone dormant ahead of the season’s first frost.

As the leaves keep falling off the trees, and each morning gets ever so slightly colder, winter slowly hits the University of New Mexico campus. Students begin to wear heavier clothes and begin to stay indoors more. Regardless of the temperature outside, this doesn’t stop the studying students have to do, begging the question: What are the best winter study spots on campus? Everyone has their own taste, but there are some spots that just cannot be beat. Zimmerman Library’s west-wing is great for anyone who wants to lockin in silence while study spots near the Adobe Creative Commons for anyone wanting to study in groups. But there isn’t just Zimmerman, the Student Resource Center

Eye-catching architectural patterns around Main Campus
By Maria Fernandez @DailyLobo
The University of New Mexico’s Main Campus is well-known in the Albuquerque community for its stunning nature, but the architectural patterns of UNM’s buildings do not go unnoticed. Multiple buildings are designed in typical New Mexico Southwest style, with vigas, or wooden poles, that extend out from the structure and adobe walls, including Zimmerman Library and Scholes Hall.
Campus also features modern designs including square patterns and metal designs meant to cast shadows when hit at a certain angle by the sun. Buildings
in development on campus also make for an interesting view, including The Center for Collaborative Arts and Technology on the south side of Johnson Field. The Alumni Memorial Chapel is one of the few to include hand-painted designs on its wooden door frames and fancier designs of vigas.
