The other day, I found out one of my closest friends and oldest co-workers thought I was gay when he first met me. “I mean, don’t be offended or anything,” he said, smoking a Camel.

There have been more than two-dozen reported bear attacks during summer 2010, resulting in the death or injury to livestock and humans in rural and urban areas.
As a police officer in two major East Coast cities, I had plenty of dealings with marijuana. I always hated those instances because most of them never should have occurred.
Our body is the only material thing we possess from birth to death. I aim to take better care of my body than any other material possession! No other material possession can give me more pleasure or more misery.
Dear Dr. Peg, A few years ago, I got the flu from a flu shot, so I haven’t gotten one since, but that whole swine flu thing last year scared me. Should I get a flu shot this year? Signed, Fearful

According to the Chinese government, Liu Xiaobo, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, is a criminal. This 54-year-old Chinese citizen has been in and out of prison several times during his life and is currently serving an 11-year sentence. You might be asking yourself, “How is it that a criminal could be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize?” Under normal circumstances, this is a fair question, but these are not normal circumstances.
Sooner or later, you’ll find out that Oklahoma City is not a part of the Dust Bowl.

Why is it that Americans have to get angry before they are willing to vote?
I am very disappointed that Wednesday’s article, “Students split over whether balloon fiesta still an event to behold,” didn’t have better descriptions of our wondrous Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The article reminds me of the negative opinion pieces the Daily Lobo used to write for election coverage (I’m glad to read this is not true this year). Yes, you need to get up early to see balloon fiesta. If you’re not in your car on I-25 by 5:45 a.m., or the North Diversion Channel on your bicycle by 6 a.m., you risk missing the mass ascension the first Saturday of the event.
Young people growing up in low-income communities are in need of great teachers and role models. And the stakes are higher than ever. Only one in 10 students growing up in poverty will attend college. And for those lacking a college degree, many doors of opportunity are firmly shut.
A few years ago, a colleague and I were going to write a book about teaching. It was his philosophy that a teacher was nothing more that a “site,” a sort of empty space in the classroom. In fact, his idea that teachers are about as worthless as space seems to be a predominant ethic on campus, where professors, learning and the University appear to be about as deserving of respect as chunks of beetle dung.
Every day, I walk past the Duck Pond on the way to Dane Smith, and I see the table. There I see students with the marker-drawn signs pumping people up about voting, and the token, sandwich-board-wearing guy inviting people to follow him to the table and register. It’s cool, but I wonder if it works.

The Daily Lobo is starting a series about the creative ways UNM students, staff and faculty are cutting back on spending in light of tighter budgets. The series, called “Desperate Times,” will rely on Daily Lobo readers who have discovered these innovative coping strategies in their own departments or offices. The Daily Lobo will also seek out these stories in hope of highlighting hidden solutions to complex problems. In essence, we feel this series is crucial at this time both to underscore the severity of the economic climate and champion the innovation that can only be provided by UNM scholars and experts. If you have a story idea for “Desperate Times,” please e-mail News@DailyLobo.com or EditorinChief@DailyLobo.com.
