Titles on banned-book top 10 reflect our narrow-mindedness
October 5Editor, It was interesting to read on today’s wire service that the top-10 list of most requested books to be banned is out and that our own Rudolfo Anaya has made the list with his classic work Bless Me, Ultima.

Locksley’s actions define his undeniable character
October 5Editor, Athletics Director Paul Krebs stated that this recent behavior of head coach Mike Locksley — hitting his assistant coach — was not indicative of Locksley’s character. How a person behaves is certainly indicative of his character.

The human mind needs more durable form for space travel

Nonsmokers need to be strong, confront bothersome smokers
September 28Editor, UNM’s recent decision to limit tobacco use on campus has become a point of contention among the entire student population, but no group has been more outspoken than UNM’s nonsmoking students.
