Lambert's public humiliation an unnecessary punishment

Editor, UNM soccer player Elizabeth Lambert made Time Magazine’s Top 10 Pariahs, along with Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom, and Bernie Madoff. While Lambert’s actions were reprehensible, the appropriate discipline was meted out and we need to place the whole matter into perspective, relative to some of the others on the list. Lambert’s actions took place amidst an already heated physical contest with a conference rival. We watch football players cheap shot, trip, hold and brawl constantly.

Daily Lobo should dig deeper into IT printing fee policy

Editor, The reason the 80 percent cutoff point for establishing the 250 pages per semester free printing limit at the computer labs is flawed (80 percent of students printed out less than 250 pages) is because it puts people who print out 251 pages in the same category as those who print out excessive amounts (10,000, as one student did). The policy-setters have thus determined that 251 pages equals excess, and also decided to literally tax or raise tuition for those students who printed between 251 and whatever real excess is.

Peru column derogatory, displays lack of integrity

Editor, We, as part of the Peruvian community at UNM, would like to protest the publication of the article “Images of Peru: A Daily Lobo reporter’s journey to South America” on Dec. 1. We would also like to denounce the unethical way the Daily Lobo has handled the complaints of many concerned readers.

Youth must support a strong international climate treaty

Editor, I’m writing in response to Donald Gluck’s letter to the editor titled “PIRG has leftist agenda, should not be allocated fees.” Improving health, protecting our environment, high-quality education, safety, etc., are not left or right issues.




The Setonian
Opinion

Selfishness prevents society from thinking productively

Editor, We have been told, “Seek until you find.” There are far too many or us who seem to be seeking someone to follow and obey so that we will not have to take responsibility for what we think, say and do. There are far too many of us who seem to be seeking people who will follow and obey us so that we can have the illusion of being superior to those who follow and obey. There are far too few of us who seek to work peacefully, cooperatively and on an equal basis with all other people to determine and implement what is best for us all. And we wonder why we have problems. Robert Gardiner   Daily Lobo reader
