Editor, To Andrew Beale: As an American, you are free to express your opinion. However, if you are going to criticize the United States, you should get your facts straight, especially as a journalist.
Editor, So the Tea Baggers are against government spending on health care and social programs. Perhaps at their next protest gathering they would all be willing to sign a form waiving all future social security and Medicare benefits?
Editor, Recently, UNM denied the workers at Mitchell Hall’s Outtakes to collect tips or have a “take a penny.” I was told that UNM couldn’t get 20 percent of the money and therefore the workers can’t keep the tips.
Editor, In today’s GPSA vote there were multiple amendments to the constitution and bylaws. I feel it was unfortunate the current GPSA president and council chair did not clearly outline these amendments prior to the vote.
Editor, As I was driving up Menaul Boulevard Thursday evening, I realized traffic was moving slower than usual, and as I got closer to the Louisiana intersection, cars in the right lane were blocking traffic by cheering and honking at protesters holding sings depicting our current president as some sort of fascist and a monster.
Editor, This letter is in reference to the last Doing It In The Duke City column, by Hunter Riley. Though Ms. Riley organizes and expresses her thoughts very well, her advice to women, “it’s time to let go of your porn inhibitions,” is stunningly immature and myopic.
Editor, I am writing in support of Andrew Beale’s recent column. Regardless of the details of the engagement that killed the two Reuters photographers, his overall point stands.
Editor, Andrew Beale’s last column is ill-informed, offensive and idiotic. He claims that the “United States government is the largest terrorist organization operating today,” but fails to even bother fact checking before he published.
Editor, I am writing on behalf of myself and the GPSA Elections Committee to apologize for mis-listing Martín Gutíerrez’s name as “Martinez” in recent ads.
Editor, I was pleasantly surprised to see that UNM is cutting two vice-president positions to save costs.
Editor, The law school wants to secede from the union. It reminds me of the teabaggers holding signs with misspelled racial slurs while they yell, “Tell the government to keep their hands off my Medicaid.” Teabaggers do not know that the government program they benefit from is Medicare, and the leaders of the law school secession movement don’t understand they are supporting policies that destroyed the math department. There is speculation that the regents are behind the law school’s actions.
Editor, The GPSA President and Council Chair forum on Monday was a new beginning in GPSA. The forum was structured, fair and well moderated.
Editor, On April 8, the Daily Lobo ran the article “ASUNM candidates stress sustainability, safety” and we felt it was our duty as the current ASUNM Chair and Vice Chair for the Outreach and Appointment Committee to inform the student body of the things ASUNM has been working on for the past academic year. The ASUNM Senate has made great progress in building a coalition between the Office of Sustainability, UNM Recycling and the Sustainability Studies Program.
Editor, I’m a member of UNM’s chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, and as such, it’s one of my primary objectives to adequately inform students and faculty about the issues of drugs, the laws surrounding them and their impact on our world. It makes sense that New Mexico has a drug problem.
Editor, This year, a group of students banded together from multiple student organizations and across both student governments to help preserve the student’s right to decide where their fee dollars go.
Editor, There seems to be a growing number of people in this country who are using more and more violent language based on the belief that doing so will manifest positive, possibly even compassionate, results.
Editor, Do any conscious people still walk the halls of UNM? This is the question that I ask myself, as our national leaders continue to lie about the so-called “War on Terror.” This lie is only used as a justification for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Editor, I was wondering if the folks who did the skateboard park re-design on Smith Plaza had considered a pedestrian pass-over for all the foot traffic?
Editor, Reporter, photographer and Palestinian propagandist Mohammed Omer Saleh Al-Moghayer, who uses the professional name Mohammed Omer, will speak at UNM this week, following on the heels of fellow propagandist Ziad Abbas.
Editor, As a staff employee at UNM for nine years now, I’m still constantly stunned by students and staff that call the entire Center for the Arts complex “Popejoy Hall.” In the April 6 edition on page 5, the caption under the picture reads “sits in the shadows of Theatre X in Popejoy Hall on Monday.” Popejoy Hall, built in 1966 as UNM’s handshake to the city as a 2,000-seat performing arts center, is but one of four venues in the Center for the Arts.
