Next election for ASUNM uses e-voting

ASUNM's new electronic voting system won't bring more students to the polls, but students who vote will appreciate the system's painless voting process, said ASUNM President Brittany Jaeger. She said ASUNM already broke in the system to make sure it worked.

Research isn't just for class: Read up before buying a car

After one year of searching, student Crystal Brito bought the Yamaha motorcycle she had been looking for. She bought it from a friend, because the motorcycles at the dealerships were overpriced, she said. "The Blue Book values were way below the dealerships' prices," she said. "Their used bikes were priced from $6,000 to $8,000, and I got mine for $5,000."

Voters have failed fine arts by not passing initiative

Editor, I find it very disconcerting that the Quality of Life initiative wasn't passed. If there's one aspect of New Mexico - especially UNM - that needs money, it's the fine arts. If football or any other athletic program needs money, sponsors are quick to give it.

Daily Lobo responsible for missing information

Editor, The Daily Lobo has no one to blame for an incomplete article except itself, and as editor in chief, I hold Riley Bauling responsible. A comprehensive article of the candidates' main issues should have been an easy article to produce, since an election is not exactly late-breaking news.

Common sense dictates that Bush must be ousted

Editor, The Bush administration continues to pursue a failed policy in Iraq even after the National Intelligence Estimate said its policy has increased aggravations and terrorism in the world. Numerous military experts, such as Gen. Anthony Zinni and Eric Shinseki, have said the war was a fiasco from the beginning.

Slate has unrealistic ideas, gives no credit to ASUNM

Editor, As the national midterm elections are now over, it is time for UNM students to look toward the ASUNM midterm elections, which will have a direct effect on each of us. I have been an ASUNM senator for an entire year now, as I was elected in November 2005.

Election season begins at UNM

Students who didn't vote in Tuesday's general elections will get another chance to vote next week. But this time, it's for student government. Fourteen candidates for the ASUNM Senate spoke to students Wednesday in the SUB at the Candidate Endorsement Forum, explaining why people should vote for them. Candidates talked about their goals for the upcoming term, and chartered student organizations had an opportunity to question each candidate. Matt Beck, a member of the slate, Joining Individuals Varied Expectations, or JIVE, said he wants to continue representing UNM students. "Our first main goal is to come out with a student-friendly newsletter that will be available from ASUNM," he said. Ten senators can be selected out of the 15 candidates that are running for the fall term.

Thanks to voters for taking self-interest to the polls

Editor, After this ugly campaign season, I wish to thank all those people who took the time to participate in the democratic process. They realized that besides the choice between Attorney General Patricia Madrid and Rep. Heather Wilson, there were more than 50 other items on the ballot that required public input.

Voting experience scary after seeing documentary

Editor, Viewing Bev Harris' HBO documentary "Hacking Democracy" recently confirmed my worst fears - that a truly fair election where all votes are counted is not possible in the U.S. We are disenfranchised, and this is a dangerous precedent to set in our country.
