Editor, In response to Geoffrey Miller's letter in Wednesday's Daily Lobo, let me reiterate that Steve Alford's salary at UNM is about $210,000.

UNM Hospital's new blood refrigeration system is like a vending machine. "This vending machine keeps track of each unit of blood, and it's connected through a computer network," said Dr. Kendall Crookston, director of transfusion medicine and coagulation.
