On this date ... 1951: Eastern New Mexico University was fighting for its life as a four-year college. State Comptroller Richard Strahlem had proposed the university's budget be limited to $374,487. The 1950-51 fiscal year's appropriation had been $414,000 and University President Floyd Golden had requested $629,000 for the 1951-52 fiscal year.

I see panhandlers around Clovis. Don’t we have laws against panhandling? Panhandling is a rather dangerous effort on the part of the panhandler, depending on where they place themselves, according to Clovis Police Department Capt. Roman Romero. “Enforcement is always possible and could take various forms, from jaywalking, obstructing public sidewalks, to food sale restrictions, to littering, and traffic related infractions,” Romero wrote in an emailed response to the question. Romero said Clovis has recently seen a surge in t...
The Portales school board on Saturday was scheduled to interview four superintendent candidates vying to succeed Johnnie Cain.

The fourth candidate is also local with ties to PMS. Board members also are scheduled to meet Monday and could name a new superintendent at that time. Monday’s meeting is set for 6 p.m. in the board room of the school a...
Wayne Moore may be best remembered as the coach who led the Eastern New Mexico University women's basketball team for 22 seasons - from the fall of 1980 to the spring of 2002 - amassing an impressive 318-259 overall record. But for those of us who grew up in Roosevelt County in my era, he's also well-remembered as a towering gentle giant of a coach who oversaw the boys' teams at Melrose High School - but who also never failed to offer an encouraging word to any kid who needed...

Today it is likely my basketball hero Pistol Pete Maravich’s career NCAA scoring record of 3,667 points will fall. A girl will displace him. Until a few weeks ago I had never heard of Iowa’s Caitlin Clark. I guess that might just be because I haven’t really followed major women’s college basketball. She’s been tearing it up over four seasons. Maravich played at Louisiana State University over 50 years ago and has been dead for 35 years. But for me he set the mark in basketbal...
