Letter: Forum on smoking ban clouded by protesters

Editor, I want to thank all the participants of the Smoke-Free Campus Forum, especially the panel of experts who presented statistics and ideas, like that more than 3,000 deaths each year are due to secondhand smoke; that cities like Calabasas, Calif., are smoke-free; that Presbyterian campus and all its clinics are smoke-free; that tobacco companies are targeting youth by sweetening cigarettes in a concentrated effort to replace dying smokers; that any amount of secondhand smoke is harmful; that tobacco negatively affects youth; that nicotine is an addiction; and finally, that UNM will eventually be smoke-free.

Letter: Free speech was allowed at weapons symposium

Editor, A number of misconceptions have evolved following the Sept. 30 symposium at UNM at which a local activist was arrested. As interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and someone who was actually present at the forum, I would like to correct these misconceptions.

Letter: Republicans ignore ethics to protect power structure

Editor, Conservative Republicans, alongside our prestigious Rep. Heather Wilson, pride themselves on their superior moral qualities. In fact, it is foundational to their entire approach to government. This explains the zeal with which they pursued Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky, leading to the former's impeachment.

Do you think smoking should be banned on campus?

Scott Podeyn Junior Geography I can understand not being near doors because that is where people congregate, but out here in the open area as the wind blows, smoke is quickly dissipated. There is more smoke coming out of a diesel or a bus than there is coming out of a cigarette. Kristen Gilbert ...

Letter: Voting should be political, not just for homecoming

Editor, I think it would be nice if the Daily Lobo published the number of participants during this year's homecoming elections, just to compare it to the number of students that voted during the last elections for mayor and president. I am sure many of us would be impressed with the results.

Letter: Weapons unacceptable for University complicity

Editor, There is no possible case for further research and development into nuclear weapons. Despite the blatant hypocrisy in the argument for more weapons, are we, as an institution of higher learning, going to let this stand? The abuse of knowledge to create weapons of mass destruction that incinerate victims alive, not to mention the environmental degradation of nuclear waste and strip mining, is preposterous.

Cops give skaters a break

Many students don't know about campus skateboarding rules, said Lt. Pat Davis, UNM Police spokesman. Because of that, officers usually don't penalize people who disobey the University's skateboarding policies, he said. According to the UNM Business Policies and Procedures Manual, skateboarding is allowed but with several conditions.

Letter: Warning needed if visitors fill student seats on shuttle

Editor, On Tuesday, a group of elementary school children was on campus. I remember coming to campus for a field trip when I was in elementary school. I think these trips are a great opportunity for kids to get a glimpse of college life. However, I was troubled by the fact that these kids, their teachers and chaperones were using the UNM shuttles.

Letter: Kendra's Law is merely a way to placate public

Editor, Why does the news media keep saying the day John Hyde murdered five people in August 2005 was the bloodiest day in Albuquerque history? Has it forgotten the Hollywood Video murders in 1996, by Shane Harrison, in which five people were also killed? Does the fact that no police were murdered by Harrison make the whole thing easy to overlook? Harrison, Michael Astorga and countless other people in Albuquerque were on parole at the time they committed murders.
