UNM Police spokesman Lt. Pat Davis said the University is prepared to handle a school shooting. "Our officers are trained as first responders to any crimes of violence," he said.
Editor, I enjoyed both the cartoon and letter on Monday referring to the Bookstore employees implicated in theft as modern-day Robin Hoods. But seriously, who are those people kidding? I know the story of Robin Hood to be about a hero famous for robbing the rich to feed the poor, not an individual who took from the rich and sold to the poor.
If Bob Dylan wouldn't have been a songwriter, he would have been a serial killer. This is according to an associate of mine who believes the chameleonic Jewish kid from Minnesota's knack for imitation and a shrewdness for self-aggrandizement make him fit the profile of a sociopath.
Editor, George W. Bush asked all the nations in the world to stand up for peace at a meeting of the United Nations on Tuesday. The path to peace is not being traveled when people are labeled jihadist extremists, evil or any other term that reinforces the idea that the world is divided into two types of people - the good and the evil.
This week, Time magazine ran a cover story called "What war with Iran would look like (and how to avoid it)." Noel Pugach, a professor at UNM who teaches a course about the United States' foreign relations, said Iran poses a threat to the rest of the world, but war is unlikely.
Chao Sio, a Kenyan lecturer at UNM, did not think she was doing anything wrong until Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents arrested her on Sept. 14, said her friend and co-worker Ann Githinji.

When Albuquerque resident Pam Gentilini comes home from her job as a medical assistant at UNM Hospital, she doesn't have the luxury of kicking back on the couch for a night of mindless TV.
Editor, I can readily accept Carolyn Johnson's assertion that evolution is a belief, but the balance of her letter leaves a lot to be desired. The two fossil hoaxes she mentioned have been known to be hoaxes for a long time, and one of them - Nebraska Man - was exposed some 70 years ago.
Old photographs, a painting of a penis, a spelling bee award from elementary school and his mother's Christmas stocking are a few ornaments on the four walls of Don Schrader's apartment.
Editor, This letter is in regard to the sudden arrest and possible deportation of UNM lecturer Chao Sio of Kenya. Sio is a respected member of the staff in African-American Studies and teaches Swahili and a psychology course related to refugee well-being.

Student Elizabeth Le Cam's mother had a brain aneurysm last summer. When a man came to Le Cam's door on Sept. 8 and said he was a UNM student raising money for the emergency response services by painting addresses on the curb, she assumed it was for a good cause.
Editor, I am responding to Carolyn Johnson's letter in Friday's Daily Lobo. First, I would like to point out that a scientific argument does not have to rely exclusively on facts. Logical, sound reasoning is the distinctive feature of any true science, and that allows for unproven theories.
Jeremy Jaramillo, spokesman for the Agora Crisis Center, said it is important to talk about suicide. He spoke at the premiere of the movie "Jumping off Bridges" at the Southwest Film Center on Friday. "This is something everyone is affected by and has life experiences with," Jaramillo said. "Until we use these events to make this something more normal - more comfortable to talk about - we will stay in this state of ignorance and people will continue to die." The premiere was part of National Suicide Prevention Week. Before the movie, audience members held candles in front of a decorated 60-foot canvas in remembrance of suicide victims. Quilts made by suicide survivors hung on display in the SUB. "Jumping off Bridges" is about a family dealing with a mother's suicide and how the people around it are affected.
Editor, After reading Carolyn Johnson's letter in Friday's Daily Lobo, I began to wonder whether some people write such editorials just to raise the ire of others. Let me begin by saying that evolution isn't presented as a fact - it is still presented as a theory.
UNM is offering eating-disorder support groups for the first time in several years, said alumna Amanda Dreyer. Dreyer fixed the problem by starting two groups that met for the first time last week. One group meets on Tuesdays from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. for people with eating disorders. The other group meets every other Saturday from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. for friends and family of people with eating disorders. "One of the biggest issues with eating disorders is that they make you feel very isolated," Dreyer said. "The most important thing is for people to know they are not alone."
