Opinion page supposed to incite conversations

Editor, Mr. Buddrius, I believe you are mistaken as to what exactly the opinion page is about. In the Daily Lobo, the opinion page is a place for UNM students, faculty, staff and community members to voice opinions that may or may not be politically correct.

Science disproves practice of Reiki

Editor, Wednesday’s article “Spiritual healing via touch,” by Alexandra Swanberg addressed the field of Reiki (an energy healing practice) irresponsibly.

UNMPD slow to respond in dangerous situations

Editor, I am a biology undergrad at UNM. I would like to share a concern with you about our campus police. On Friday there was a man outside of Castetter Hall storming around and shouting.

Opinion

Daily Lobo should nix anti-Christian rhetoric

Editor, I am writing this letter to protest the cartoon in Monday’s Daily Lobo Opinion section. This cartoon is insulting, derogatory and extremely offensive to the Christian community, which has a large student population at UNM.

Davis execution reminder of America’s mania for violence

Editor, The execution of Troy Davis last Wednesday will haunt this nation into its distant future. It brings back to mind similar crimes this country has committed in the past, among them the murder of Sacco and Vanzetti in 1927, of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg in 1953, Shaka Sen Kofa in 2000, and Stanley Tookie Williams in 2005.

Roybal blind to students’ votes against rec center

Editor’s Note: This letter is in response to Luke Holmen’s article “Roybal: Students want rec center,” published Wednesday. Editor, I must say I admire Roybal’s ability to read the minds of thousands of students and interpret their desires in a manner completely contradictory to numerous surveys and votes.

Opinion

ASUNM president only caters to administration

Editor, As a former justice in ASUNM’s Student Court who worked very hard to make the voice of the students heard, I have to say I was completely flabbergasted upon reading Luke Holmen’s article, “Roybal: Students want rec center,” published Wednesday.

Opinion

UNM capable of ‘above and beyond’ employees

Editor, Though the lack of customer service in the UNM One-Stop Enrollment Services seems to be the rule, I would like to share with you my experience with the “exception.” Her name is Janet (I am unsure of the spelling); she rocks braces, a pink watch and a double-stone ring. I have never before written a letter like this on an entirely unsolicited basis.


The Setonian
Opinion

Master Plan lacks any input from students

Editor, I would like to respond to an article from last Wednesday, “Regents approve Master Plan, discuss funding,” which said that student engagement in the University’s Master Plan was “comfortable” and that UNM has tried “diligently to engage” with students in this very crucial plan.

Opinion

Require special UNM skateboard licenses

Editor, I read with interest the article in Tuesday’s Daily Lobo, “Reckless skaters escape penalties.” One of my student employees was recently hit by someone on a skateboard. Robert Burford in the Dean of Students Office said he had only received a “few” complaints, and then goes on to say that a name is needed to file a complaint.
