The lobo in Tight Grove at the southwest corner of the main campus reminds those who enter of UNM's heritage. Tight Grove honors the university's third president, William Tight (1901-1909), who set the direction for UNM's southwestern architecture and changed Hodgin Hall (just visible in the right hand corner of the photograph) from red brick to stucco. |

for prospective students, guests and alums! The new UNM visitor parking
structure is now open for business after a yearlong construction process.
Located on the former Johnson Center-Popejoy Hall parking lot, the structure
adds 400 spaces on six levels. The adjacent new Welcome Center office

Out of This World Job for UNM

program organized by the UNM Alumni Association that brings 12 students,
faculty, and alums together for an evening of conversation and great food.

Lobos for Legislation—Get

higher education priorities for the 2004 legislative session. A very special
thank you to all members of the 46th Legislature and Governor Bill Richardson

Lobo Basketball Looks Back and
Ahead
Lobo basketball is over for the season, but
the Ladies remain winners. Besides setting national records for drawing
a crowd, the Lobo women tied with Utah for best Conference record and
won the MWC championship in Denver. Their final game took place in the
Pit: an NCAA Tournament loss to the Florida Gators. The Lobo men had mixed
reviews, going 14-14 overall, and 14-4 overall at home.
