Booting parking violators extreme and dangerous

Editor, I illegally parked in the UNMH structure in a mad dash to make it to my 9:30 a.m. class. It was wrong, and I should be punished for such things. However, jeopardizing my safety as part of the punishment is totally out of line. I had class until 3:15 p.

Staff unfairly penalized during campus closure

Editor, Many UNM employees who didn't come to work on Wednesday due to the snowstorm discovered they would be docked eight hours of annual leave, even though the University was officially open for only five hours. This amounts to a take-back of three hours of pay for each employee who couldn't make it to work that day.

With about half the U.S. snowed in on Valentine's Day, President Bush likely felt that he had a captive audience when he held a news conference to address a few issues. He spoke about the beginning stages of the security crackdown in Iraq, detailing that U.S. forces in Baghdad are teaming with Iraqi security forces to clear insurgents from the area and hold the areas afterward.

Poets gather to help a colleague in need

A group of writers joined forces Friday to help one of their own. A poetry and prose reading was held at the SUB to raise funds for New Mexico poet Paula Gunn Allen, whose home was destroyed by a fire on Oct. 15, 2006. The event was part of a two-day benefit. The suggested donation for attending was $10, and authors sold their books at the event. All proceeds went to the Paula Gunn Allen Fund. About 120 people attended the event, which included readings of Gunn Allen's poetry and readings from Jimmy Santiago Baca, Evelina Lucero, Allison Coke, Judith Van Gieson, Sara Ortiz, E.A. "Tony" Mares, Maritza Perez and Levi Romero.

Faculty, students should be wary of new president

Editor, Today is a great day in Stillwater, Okla. David Schmidly is now your problem. I feel sorry for UNM students. I hope your faculty has the guts to stand up to Schmidly and keep him in check. Ours could not or would not, and the school suffered as a result.
