Editor’s note: This letter is in response to “Wrestling with war,” a photo published in the Wednesday issue of the Daily Lobo. The photo shows a 2008 alumna protesting the U.S. military and ROTC as part of a demonstration assembled by Food Not Bombs, Answer Coalition and (un)Occupy Albuquerque.
Editor,
Welcome Back Days features many campus organizations that followed UNM policy to get a permit to participate. Those groups affiliated with the individual in the Wednesday front page photo titled “Wrestling with war” didn’t think the policy applied to them. They handed out food, which not only violates UNM policy, but health department policy as well, and they also were unaffiliated with the University. Perhaps a better representative photo might have been to feature the many ROTC groups that “wrestling” was protesting.
