Editor,
It was indeed sad for me to come to school on Monday and see what the story on the cover page of the Daily Lobo was.
I find it depressing that the priorities of some of the members of the UNM community lay more on the tests and difficulties of the Homecoming events and not in the more than 20,000 people who died in Pakistan this weekend or the hundreds who were buried alive in the mudslide in Guatemala.
Hurricane Katrina was a cover-page story for many days. Are we not capable of reaching out and feeling the pain and the loss of people in tragedies that do not affect "our" people? Also, why is it that we are repeating history in Sudan? Today, the Daily Lobo has made me ashamed of being a student at UNM.

Editor's note: A story on the South Asian earthquake with the headline "Search continues for quake survivors" ran alongside Monday's front-page story on Homecoming, and a brief on the Guatemalan disaster ran on page 2.
