Editor, Professor Wilcox’s letter should be circulated throughout the nation. As a fiscal, social conservative, there were many times when I was an undergraduate that I wrote in to critique the ruminations of “entitlement” espoused by some in academia.
Editor, I am a visitor to your planet. I am from a planet located in a distant and much older galaxy than yours.
Editor, I would like to respond to the last week’s invitation from James Burbank to spit on teachers.
Editor, There has been a lot of talk about the proposed student athletic facilities. Students are getting excited and are failing to look at the reality of the situation.
Editor, If you’re one of those folks trying to balance a job while getting a college education, filing federal income tax forms probably hasn’t been a huge priority. But there is still time to file, and there are several reasons students should file, even if they owe no income tax. As part of the federal stimulus bill enacted in 2009, Congress passed the American Opportunity Credit (AOC) for the 2009-10 tax years.
Editor, Have you noticed that the Walmart University flagship has sailed the educational seas rather erratically these days?
Editor, The Daily Lobo published an opinion letter expressing one student’s frustration with the “rigid structure that forces all students to pass the same unnecessary courses” in order to get his degree.
Editor, I see in Thursday’s Albuquerque Journal story, “University Budget Choices,” that Gov.
Editor, Ten years ago was the last time I rode in any car. I have owned no car since 1979. I had a driver’s license for 36 years, but I did not renew it when it expired in 2000.
Editor, I am a teacher’s assistant for a large lecture class. One of my responsibilities as a TA is to help the lecturer maintain a degree of classroom decorum that at this point should be second nature for students.
Editor, In response to “Flanagan leaves after almost two decades,” the Daily Lobo did a great job in showing the University who Don Flanagan is and continues to be.
Editor, The Western nations currently trying to bomb Libya into submission must not be familiar with Libyan history.
Editor, When the economy went belly up and millions of people lost their houses and their jobs, you can bet the teachers, their unions and their outrageous pensions were at fault. All the wealth in this country has been ripped off by greedy teachers who are sickly obsessed with their fantasy that people in this great land of ours need to be educated and that these ne’er-do-well educators actually need to be paid to teach their bullshit. What a joke. We have a bunch of these useless-eater teachers right here at Walmart U.
Editor, I was 3 minutes late to my public speaking class this week because I forgot keys to my bike lock.
Editor, In running for GPSA president, I have not once referenced the current GPSA president, and the idea that I am running against her is confusing and inaccurate. I decided to run for GPSA president because I believe that GPSA needs more input from the student body.
Editor, The saying, “Things are not always what they seem” is most appropriate when speaking about the U.S.
Editor, The completion of the 2011 legislative session in Santa Fe is just the beginning of the new year for UNM.
Editor, What kind of leader would you like to be? Our involvement in Libya may not seem related to the health of our planet, but it brings up interesting issues.
Editor, If you truly desire happiness, become aware of what is truly happening in each moment. Immerse yourself in that and deal with it as best as you can and leave everything else to whatever is the Source of All That Is. Our species has two choices: 1) Refuse to mature to our potential, continue to divide into warring camps and play the juvenile game of “win/lose,” which makes us all losers and ensures that our species cannot survive.
Editor, I’m writing the nearly identical letter to one I wrote several years ago when a previous University president, upon announcing a tuition increase, earnestly commented that ”UNM really is a bargain — cheaper than most of its comparable state universities.” The problem with this statement, repeated over and over again by university administrators, is that New Mexico was, and still is, one of the poorest states in the union with high unemployment levels, even in good times. Furthermore, most of our employed citizens earn less for comparable jobs than their peers in other states.
