Editor, I am writing in response to the editorial published in the Daily Lobo on Wednesday regarding GPSA's resolution demanding the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. The opinion comes from one of the many apathetic young students of UNM. This student proves to have little knowledge of the historical role of university students throughout the world.
Editor, In response to several liberal opinions on homosexuality, I take a different approach. Many supporters point to the notion that couples who engage in homosexual relationships are consenting, loving couples. The supporters contend that discrimination against this group is on the same level as discrimination during the Civil Rights era.
Kanye West outsold 50 Cent the week of Sept. 11, and thus concludes the great hip-hop swindle.
Editor, I have read several articles and letters regarding the Bible and the issue of homosexuality. First, religion is created by human beings. For example, Warren Jeffs presided over a splinter group of Mormonism that still believes in the covenant of plural marriage.
The owner of Scalo in Nob Hill wants to put his money to good use. Steve Paternoster said he will donate a portion of Wednesday's sales to Tiny Stars, an organization dedicated to exposing and stopping the commercial sexual exploitation of children around the world.
Editor, This letter is in response to David Martinez's letter published in the Daily Lobo on Friday. It was my good fortune to be touring the UNM campus, and I was lucky enough to have read Martinez's piece of zealotry. I must say that I applaud the general sentiment.
UNM announced Friday that the Athletics Department received notices from the NCAA of four potential violations regarding members of the football coaching staff. Three unnamed coaches, not including head coach Rocky Long, helped four recruits and one student athlete get course credit they did not earn from Fresno Pacific University, the notice states.
Editor, In his letter to the Daily Lobo published Tuesday, Jason Brown wrote, "As a Christian, I do not believe that homosexuality is a morally acceptable lifestyle." In its general appeal to the authority of the Christian religion, the statement appears to be speaking for all Christians.
More than 50 people spread out on mats among the trees at Roosevelt Park Saturday. They stretched, and held position as part of Yoga in the Park. The free event, sponsored by the mayor's office, was held to promote healthy living in the city, the event's organizer said.
The UNM volleyball team opened its Mountain West Conference schedule with a loss. The Lobos fell 30-27, 30-25, 30-19 to Colorado State on Saturday in Fort Collins, Colo.
In perhaps the most physical game of the season, the UNM men's soccer team knocked off defending national champion UC-Santa Barbara 2-1 on Sunday at the UNM Soccer Complex.
Editor, I am writing to correct the impression given in an article published Wednesday that the Staff Council rejected the hate crimes proposals. In fact, the executive of the Staff Council withdrew consideration of this measure from the last council meeting agenda, so the body never had a chance to discuss it or vote for or against it.
Editor, Why is there so much separation? Each day, I walk out of my dormitory to start another day. I walk all around UNM, dine at La Posada, engage in frequent dormitory antics, attend parties, and spend a great deal of time observing people. From my experience, humanity brings me joy and feels great to be involved in, but there is a trend I find disconcerting - our continual tendency to produce psychological and conceptual separations between ourselves and others.
Men's golf The UNM men's golf team wrapped up its home tournament with a seventh-place finish this weekend. The Lobos were led by Steve Saunders, who finished the William H. Tucker Invitational with a 1-under 215. Saunders was in the running going into Saturday's final round after shooting 70 and ...
The man suspected of attacking more than 20 Indian students over the past several months was charged Thursday with battery, police said.
Editor, Recent letters on the question of the naturalness of homosexuality have gotten me thinking. What's natural anyway? Maybe natural means the way things would be if humans weren't always messing things up. Whatever the definition is, certainly we heterosexuals never do anything unnatural.
Staff report The Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice is beating the odds by keeping its doors open, a volunteer for the center said. "One of the things with the center is that it is a miracle that it keeps going," Frances Daniels-Thompson said. "Most organizations get grants from the government or major donors, and we just don't have that.
The UNM swimming and diving team is looking to build off of last year's performance. The Lobos finished seventh at the Mountain West Conference Championships and recorded a 6-6 dual-meet record in 2006.
Editor, I am generally in support of the idea that professors choose their own textbooks and that any book will have the agenda of the author in mind. But recently, I have encountered a situation where the books professors choose are so one-sided that rather than feeling like I'm learning about the subject I'm paying to learn, I end up listening to the soap-box ramblings of someone I'm not allowed to disagree with.
