Editor, War changes people. Contrary to popular belief, war doesn’t just challenge a soldier’s ethics and morals — it helps shape them, too.
Come January, members of the Legislature in Santa Fe will look back on their October special session as little more than a preview of the difficult spending and tax decisions confronting them in the next budget year. Lawmakers left the special session without completely erasing a $650 million revenue shortfall in the current budget year.
Editor, Today’s political cartoon on the rising unemployment rate was spot on. The national unemployment rate just reached a staggering 10.2 percent.
Editor, In the gloom of all the bad news looming around — such as the Locksley incident, Lambert’s display and the Fort Hood/Orlando shootings — many talk about what preventative measures could have been taken.
Editor, As we are moving to the close of another semester, I want to mention a few things to my fellow UNM students.
Editor, I witnessed Elizabeth Lambert’s thuggery in the women’s soccer match between UNM and BYU in the Mountain West Conference Tournament, and I am incensed.
Editor, I would first like to offer my deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones at the recent Fort Hood shooting.
Editor, What are we teaching at UNM? Morals and ethics are obviously not a priority. I say this because the examples being shown by the UNM administration seem to promote bad behavior.
Editor, This letter is to Elizabeth Lambert. I am an athlete at BYU. I was watching the game and saw what you did; it made me angry.
Editor, As an alumnus of UNM, I am disappointed by the lack of support that UNM has given Elizabeth Lambert.
Editor, If Techno Man has the right to play his boom box, I want to play my boom box with my awesome, wonderful and great music just as loud as he plays his not-so-very-good music.
Editor, I attended the press conference Wednesday in the Lobo room where Vice President of Human Resources Helen Gonzales interviewed “witnesses” to the “mistake” made by Coach Locksley. A neutral party, outside the Athletics Department, should have done the investigating.
Editor, When I looked at the Lobo on Wednesday morning the first thing I saw was the photo of the message from an “anarchist” left on a wall at Smith Plaza. Eager to transfer to UNM, let me say something about myself.
Editor, The fact that the UNM Techno Guy is not allowed to play music outside the SUB on Tuesdays and Thursdays between his classes is mind blowing. UNM allows monstrous displays of abortion and “James the Apostle” preaching his ideology day after day for the last two weeks, and gives local musicians the opportunity to display their talents by the bronze statues where the sound spills into classrooms. Regardless of what genre of music you prefer, the UNM Techno Guy isn’t disrupting “learning” taking place outside the SUB, but promoting good tunes, great conversation and providing a much-needed break from classes.
Editor, Recently, Rebecca Miller’s brilliant letter brought the poser status of Minister Yates to our attention.
Editor, Yes, it’s fun to read the writing of the few sardonic dimwits who write into the Daily Lobo about things that don’t matter and are honestly a waste of our time to read, but the issue is that some people have no respect for others and feel like they can say whatever they want without any reason, and that can often offend people. I first started reading the article, “It’s time for UNM’s fat people to change their ways,” in the Daily Lobo because it looked informative for overweight people to stay healthy or become fit.
Editor, This is in response to the Victor Murthy column published on Tuesday: I agree with you that obesity and weight-related conditions are a current and future problem here at UNM, but I felt your column attacks the people who are overweight, and not the issue of obesity and weight-related issues directly.
Editor, I am writing in response to Victor Murthy’s column on obesity. Among the reader responses online, there’s a contention by some that the column is fashioned as a satire “in the spirit of Jonathan Swift.” If that’s the case, then it is what some would call an “epic fail.” Swift’s piece about making fricassee out of children is clearly not meant to be taken seriously, despite the appalling nature of this “modest proposal.” Murthy’s piece is poorly written, not amusing and lacking in any rhetorical or literary devices that constitute a “political satire.” However, if this is not the case, and Murthy’s intent was to publish a self-flagellating and hateful piece of tripe, then he has succeeded.
Editor, Here are five easy steps to resolving the football “problem” at UNM: 1. Dissolve the entire football program ASAP. 2.
Editor, I read the Daily Lobo opinion section nearly every day. I sometimes question whether you should publish certain things written by students.
