Debate is crucial to a healthy university. At a university, disciplines, perspectives and opinions collide to form an education, and the New Mexico Daily Lobo has been a forum to facilitate that collision for more than 100 years. We’ve opened up our website to allow immediate feedback on our content, to foster dialogue and encourage healthy discussion on relevant issues.

Take a minute and ask yourself: How big is my carbon footprint?
Not many will admit to the damage they’ve done, but in some way, shape or form all of us have contributed to the global warming situation we are living through.

Dear Dr. Peg
When I get a headache or get sick with body aches or fever, I like to take something to help me feel better. But I heard that acetaminophen can destroy your liver and ibuprofen can destroy your stomach. Is there anything else? What can I do?

Are you looking for a sucker punch to the gut? Or a salty assault to the taste buds? Or maybe you just have a thing against chickens and their children?

On Tuesday, in response to a story in the sports section on Dailylobo.com, someone posted a comment that was legitimately offensive to the African American community. It was about fried chicken, and it was completely unrelated to the article on which it was commenting. Members of African American Student Services were understandably upset at the insensitivity of the writer and the Daily Lobo’s slow response to removing the comment.

I studied in China for about three years and spent four semesters in the U.S. When I was a college student in China, I remembered my professors always warned us how hard it was going to be to get a job. They said a lot of companies pick one applicant out of 300 or more. Data from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the People’s Republic of China reports the 2009 graduate employment rate is 87 percent. Do people believe that? Obviously, that is an extremely high estimate.

Do you have stress? Stupid question, right? We all have stress. Do you want stress? Probably not. Although stress isn’t always a bad thing – pressure can make you produce, and sometimes you have to produce – it can harm you, too. From neck pain to strokes, the negative effects of stress are many.
I offer you the following physical and mental pearls for instant stress reduction.

Every now and then I’ll dine alone. I might see people I know that I could eat with or chat with. But I still choose to be alone. Let me reassure you this column is not the beginning of a suicide note but a reflection on introverts and the prickly effect on the extroverted population.

Did you know we are living in an Anthropocene Age? Yep. According to geologists, humans have so messed up our planet in the last 12,000 years that we have created a new epoch of geological time. Marked by monocultures and mass extinction of species, the Anthropocene Age means, “human epoch” and is truly a time to call our own.
Geological time is perhaps the slowest and least affected shift of time. Usually marked by millions of years rather than a few lifetimes, it seems ludicrous that the effect of humans could have such an immense force as altering it. But a growing number of scientists say there is substantial evidence that humans have drastically changed the Earth, and the Holocene Age (which we are in now) is over.

We all have had some experiences as kids growing up that make us apprehensive about facing life.
I never thought that marbles would scare me to death. I nearly choked on a marble when I was 4 years old. And from then on I have had a negative association with the little glass devils. Now that I’m older I have some new fears that I never expected.

On March 30, someone pretended to be ASUNM senatorial candidate Kristen Sandine and posted a comment on Dailylobo.com, saying opposing candidate David Conway was instrumental behind the February 15 stabbing.
So the Daily Lobo has come up with a comment policy: We will not remove comments because we disagree with them, but we reserve the right to take down a comment if it is a libelous or unnecessarily hurtful attack on an individual or group.

When it comes to fraud, nothing is off limits, especially on the Internet. With the 2010 Census swinging into high gear and tax season already well underway, expect to see fraudulent “census” and “tax” e-mail and text messages in the near future.
For starters, the Internal Revenue Service never conducts business via e-mail, text messaging or the telephone. For the most part, this is also true about the U.S. Census Bureau although the Census has (unfortunately) started conducting household and business surveys via the telephone and, in limited cases, through the Internet.

On Saturday morning, I was driving down the highway, in some busy section of town by R.E.I., and I saw two young men dressed in suits, standing on the highway meridian. One guy’s sign said “Tuition is expensive — anything helps.”

Rubbing my itchy eyes and blowing my runny nose after writing my sixth prescription of the day for allergy medicine, I decided it is time for my yearly article on allergies. This is one of those topics that need repeating so at the risk of violating the write-something-new-every-week rule for columnists, here it is again.

Recently, Google has been having issues controlling the rogue country China, and that makes me wonder what might lie in wait for the United States.
Thus far, we have been obedient to our Google overlords. They allow us the illusion of privacy; even though they know all about your interests in cockfighting in New Mexico. It’s OK, they don’t care as long as you keep using Google and click on advertisements every now and then.

If you have been to Mitchell Hall recently, you probably have been amazed by how much the renovation has improved the building. The first thing that most students have noticed is that Mitchell’s infamous sewage stench is gone. The building also feels more comfortable with its improved heating and cooling system. New amenities such as an Outtakes store and a computer pod have been added. Also, a brand-new KONE EcoSpace machine room-less traction elevator has been installed, replacing the existing hydraulic elevator. The KONE EcoSpace uses one-third as much energy as a hydraulic elevator and doesn’t use any oil. The one installed at Mitchell Hall has a capacity of 2,500 lbs, an increase of 1,000 lbs compared to the previous elevator to increase accessibility. It also has a voice annunciation feature that announces the floors the elevator stops at and the direction of travel. Mitchell Hall has been awarded a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design silver certification for eco-friendliness.

So let me explain what’s happening here: Chris, the dope who usually writes columns for Friday is probably too busy checking his Facebook while spraying himself with Axe during a “Family Guy” marathon, so I am filling in for him.
