Monster truck driver Charles Benns isn't afraid to take a risk. "There are guys who will go out there, drive over a car and wave," he said. "And then there are people like me who will throw caution to the wind like a maniac and hit it at full speed, and whatever happens, happens.
Editor, One thing I have learned from my experience of community organizing and campus activism is that one person does not make an organization. GPSA is not about one student or leader, Joseph Garcia or any council representative or other leader. We tend to operate with the myth that people act alone - that Rosa Parks wasn't a trained NAACP organizer working with many other activists, or César Chávez didn't have the help of thousands of organizers working with him in the United Farm Workers.
Getting from one place to the next is not easy for people with disabilities, much less getting to the polls on Election Day.

Last week, President Bush's theorists introduced a revolutionary new principle in the field of logic: the Causal Trifle.

The Frontier Restaurant may have changed its hours, but that hasn't stopped people from finding a place to eat in the early morning hours. The Frontier was open 24 hours a day since 1991. But in January, its owners decided to close their doors from 1 to 5 a.
Editor, Aramark, the provider of food not only to UNM but to numerous state penitentiaries as well, is one of the biggest abusers of workers' rights by exploiting its hold on numerous campuses around the country.

Editor, I have to express sharp disagreement with the letter by Chris Perry published in the Daily Lobo on Monday regarding guns and safety on campus. His suggestion to allow concealed handgun licensees to carry guns on campus is half-baked at best. At worst, it's quite disturbing.

Editor, There is not a dime's worth of difference between most Republican and Democrat politicians, including Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, on robbing and murdering multitudes of people worldwide for the U.S. empire. The most powerful submarine was built at a cost of $3.
Levon Phelan Senior Biology Daily Lobo: So, you say that you're a perpetual student. Levon Phelan: Yeah. I believe so, yeah. DL: Why is that? LP: Because I'm never going to get out of here. I still have a ton of requirements to complete. DL: How do you feel about the number of classes you have to take before you graduate? LP: I think it could be reduced, because a lot of the classes I'm taking right now seem really pointless to what I want to end up being.
Editor, Are you voting for a person based on race or gender? If you are, your vote is dishonorable. I heard an elderly woman on TV say she is voting for Sen. Hillary Clinton because she wants to see a woman president in her lifetime. I have a friend who is voting for a candidate only because she is Hispanic.
