Dear Dr. Peg, Should I get tested for HIV? I'm in a new relationship, and we're getting ready to have sex. But I'm a heterosexual woman, have never done drugs and have only had three other sex partners in my life. It seems to me like I'm at low risk for HIV, so I don't need to get tested.

Editor, I was in Gordon Hodge's Intro to Psychology class during the spring 2006 semester and appreciated his no-nonsense teaching style.

Editor, I'm grateful that the Daily Lobo has finally revealed the truth. All us professors here at the good old UNM should and must entertain the students at all costs. In fact, entertainment = learning. As for me, I structure all my classes like "Survivor" game shows.
Editor, In this country, we pride ourselves on our jurisprudence. We claim that a person is innocent until proven guilty by due process. Unfortunately, there are individuals who fail to make their case and merely assume guilt.
