Calling something natural doesn't make it morally OK

Editor, There have been some letters in the Daily Lobo recently with an old argument attempting to morally justify homosexuality. This argument states that because animals naturally practice homosexuality, then homosexuality must be natural, and thus OK. I am not denying that homosexuality occurs in nature, and there have been many documented cases which clearly illustrate this.

Schmidly suggests taking walk

David Schmidly, UNM's next president, said the University's student and campus employees could alleviate parking problems by walking more. "I'm a walker," he said. "I try to walk everywhere I can. I try to lead by example."

Buying new textbooks won't bring down prices

Editor, It has long been debated that textbook prices are too high. I believe they are overpriced, but to say that not buying used textbooks will help bring the overall price of new textbooks down is ludicrous. In a country of big businesses, hasn't anyone noticed that the price of a product does not go down even when the cost of producing a product goes down? Does anyone wonder where that money goes? The money goes to the big businesses that make the product, obviously.

Wildcats won't tame Lobos

Just because Arizona is the defending national champion doesn't mean the Lobos are intimidated by the Wildcats. The UNM softball team will take on No. 5 Arizona this weekend in Tucson, Ariz., in a three-game series.

Professor finds perfect mixture

When something has to be mixed in a channel that is measured in micrometers, it's complicated. Liquids in a microscopic channel can't be mixed by shaking them up like gin and vermouth in a martini, said Dimiter Petsev, assistant professor in chemical and nuclear engineering.

Helping the less fortunate pays off in joyous ways

Editor, Throughout the history of civilization, people have always been diverse in their economic status and lifestyle. As the saying goes, "The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike." It is seen as ordinary that some are poor and others are rich. However, with the many breakthroughs of the modern age and the degree of economic and political maturity that the world has reached, it would seem like we could prevent the less fortunate members of society from so much suffering.

UNM needs to improve conditions in the SRCs

Editor, I live on campus in the SRCs. Tuesday morning while I was doing some yoga, a cockroach scuttled across the carpet in my bedroom, two inches from my face. I calmly paused my yoga video and got what my roommates and I call "the cockroach catcher" - a designated cup and piece of cardboard we use to catch the roaches so we can take them outside to kill them with Raid.

Spring pollen spurs allergies

While you were gone over break, as you have no doubt noticed, spring sprang out in full force - warm temperatures, flowering trees and, of course, pollen. The juniper count increased five-fold over spring break and is now being joined by other flowering trees. So if you're sneezing, coughing, running and dripping, join the crowd.

KUNM broadcasts aren't meant to offend listeners

Editor, I'm writing in response to Jeffrey Bullard's letter in Monday's Daily Lobo, in which he criticizes KUNM's "Street Beat" hip-hop show for playing songs with offensive lyrics. We do have policies that prohibit the use of indecent language, except during the "safe harbor" period, after 10 p.

Panaderia bakes Mexican favorites

Long before Dunkin' Donuts and Little Debbie, Latino families were perfecting the art of making pastries. Flour, eggs and heaps of sugar were whipped together to produce breads, cookies and cakes - confections to complement a morning cup of cafe con crema or an afternoon snack.

Female artists featured in exhibit

"Eye to I," an exhibit of female artists' works, fulfills the viewer like a hearty three-course dinner. The women use the concept of self-portraiture to define and disassemble themselves. They span their flaws and perfections, embrace or challenge their gender, explore their sexual roles within their cultures and remark upon the absurdity of it all.

Stepping up to the mic

Skull Control Records is not a typical record label. "My brother and I started it," MC Illson Serif said. "It's ours as a whole with everyone else (on the label), because we aren't anything without them. It's definitely not a one-sided thing. Everyone is not signing some major contract and that type of stuff."
