Author shares knowledge from south of the border

Getting chased out of Mexico by German Mennonite drug smugglers was Sam Quinones' last experience as a freelance writer there. Quinones, a Los Angeles Times reporter who covers immigration issues, lived in Mexico from 1994 to 2004, traveling to villages and hearing stories of the effects of immigration on the border region. He spoke about his book - Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream, available from UNM Press - on Thursday in the SUB. German Mennonites immigrated to Chihuahua and formed a colony outside a village called CuauhtÇmoc, Quinones said. While in CuauhtÇmoc, Quinones said he interviewed a cousin of the largest smuggler at the time. Quinones said he was chased out of the country after he gave the cousin his business card and said he would like to interview the smuggler.

Public outcry against Imus result of double standard

Editor, The treatment of radio personality Don Imus stinks. It's a typical one-way street. Let's recap - African-Americans can perform rap songs on the air and in live performances referencing women as "hos" or "bitches," calling each other the n-word and talking about killing cops.

Old shoes let fungus run amok

by Peggy Spencer Daily Lobo columnist Dear Dr. Peg, My girlfriend told me I have stinky feet. She thinks it might be a fungus thing and wants me to get it taken care of. I don't notice it, but she said that her socks even stunk when she washed them with mine.

Richardson's experience proves he's a fit candidate

Editor, In a speech given in New Hampshire in late 2006, Gov. Bill Richardson said, "One thing the Bush administration has never understood is that diplomacy and military power are not alternatives to one another, but rather complementary sources of strength.

Students will learn more from community service

Editor, I would like to address the issue brought up by Ann Kostecki's letter printed in Tuesday's Daily Lobo. I believe there has been some miscommunication about what our organization, the Student Action Network, is about, stemming from the article in the Daily Lobo on April 5.

UNM offers solution to summertime blues

Students who need a summer job should find one that will complement their education, said Ron Martinez, director of the financial aid office. "The ideal job would be something that's related to what they're studying or an area they have a specific interest in," he said. The Student Employment Office advertises summer jobs for students, including on- and off-campus employment. The office has a job locator - a person who goes into the business community and tries to find jobs for students. "What we do is provide the information, and the student contacts the employer directly to interview," Martinez said. The office posts the jobs on its Web site at Unm.edu/~wsestudy/.

Iran advances global terrorism

Last week, Iran ended its 13-day hostage-taking of British sailors when it finally agreed to send them back to Britain. During the ordeal, Iranian leaders acted as all other Islamic fundamentalists we've seen since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, parading their hostages in the global media, creating a facade that the hostages were not being harmed and making demands on the Western world. It's a picture we've become far too comfortable seeing.

Humanists, atheists must be praised for blood drive

Editor, I salute the UNM Humanist Society for holding a blood drive Tuesday. Supporting efforts such as donating blood falls loosely into what, as a Catholic, I would call a corporal act of mercy. While donating blood is not specifically enumerated, activities like visiting the sick and feeding the poor are expected to be performed by Catholics as part of our faith.

University's apathy toward election is unacceptable

Editor, This is in response to a letter on Tuesday from a disappointed student, uninterested in voting in the ASUNM elections today. Student apathy regarding ASUNM's lack of proper representation is understandable, but it is not acceptable. There is a reason ASUNM has been ineffective for so long.

Soltero the perfect definition of musical evolution

Aside from the desert, writing and my family, the greatest love of my life has always been music. Music has always been there for me - providing lyrics to justify my adolescence, soundtracks for my friendships, and a major source of relaxation, energy and catharsis. And usually, my favorite music is made by musicians willing to evolve - bands like Radiohead and Wilco - bands that change, play around and push themselves to do more.

SFRB requires diversity in order to be effective

Editor, The Student Fee Review Board is the most important body a student has the privilege to participate in. Ashley Fate and Louis Jeantete are both presidential candidates looking to lead the students at UNM, but do leaders abandon their responsibility when pressure presents itself? When the board finished the departmental hearings, deliberations were scheduled by all members, and the schedule of each member was needed before the date could be chosen.
