Dr. Van Romero, NMT Vice President of Research and Economic Development, has proposed changing the "M" on the mountain to a "T" in an effort to modernize New Mexico Tech's image.
I urge you to let Dr. Romero know how you feel about the proposed change. Email him at vromero at admin dot nmt dot edu or give him a call at 575-835-5646.
The EMRTC IT department is looking to fill two positions.
One is most likely a staff (full benefits) position, performing IT work in Playas, NM at least 30 hours per week. My understanding is that you would be able to either commute from Socorro or live in Playas; rent in Playas is very cheap ($250-$300/mo for a 3-bedroom 2-bath house, last time I checked) as it is subsidized by New Mexico Tech.
The other is a student position here at EMRTC in Socorro. Duties would likely include help desk (tier-1) support, cabling, purchase orders, various projects, etc. Pay dependent upon your experience; $8/hr minimum for those with IT experience. Flexible work schedule.

Yesterday while walking my dogs at Proto and Middle Road, I was attacked by a pitbull. I got a pretty significant gash on my leg which ended up bleeding a lot. I'm a dog lover, but these vicious animals are becoming quite a nuisance in the town. To help other people, I've created a google map that I encourage everyone to annotate with nuisance dogs.
As some of you know, I used to dance a lot of Argentine tango, and have been missing it here at Tech. However, over the years I've grokked that there are a few people around here interested in learning this fantabulous dance. Last weekend I went to a big tango festival, and totally rediscovered my love of it. So I'm trying to see who all would be potentially interested if I was to put together an informal beginner class type thing, and when they might be available.
A friend of mine has danced in the past, and has agreed to help me teach since it's much easier to each if you have a lead AND a follow to demonstrate with.
So if you have any interest in learning tango, post here or email me at isis.lyman@gmail.com
Silver futon frame, kind of deco style. Has a few issues, doesn't like to stay folded up very effectively, but still works as a couch/bed. Green velvety-covered futon mattress goes with it, not top-of-the-line but quite functional. Will be posted on freecycle if nobody on here wants it ^_^
Post here, email isis.lyman@gmail.com, or call 575.418.8182.
I have a gallon of used vegetable oil that I used for frying available if anyone wants it for something. If no one takes it I'm going to use it to make a slip-and-slide in front of the Castro center, or possibly use it as a burning projectile.
