Editor, I was amused and alarmed by Steve Durant's letter regarding America's misguided emphasis on individual freedom of choice. He is indeed the paternalistic product of a unitary, socialist government, watching us young colonial children at irresponsible play.
I'll admit it. I'm a senior, and this Wednesday was the first time I ever voted in an ASUNM election. But it was the first time it seemed like it mattered. There are 38 candidates in this election. In the past there have been two slates that differ slightly, but have similar goals.
Students, faculty and alumni watched as a Komatsu trackhoe began tearing away at the southeast corner of land near Wagner Hall on Wednesday.

by Katy Knapp Daily Lobo GPSA President Buckner Creel isn't worried about new leadership in the student group. "I think the GPSA will have a good president next year," he said. "I think anyone will do a good job. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses.
by Daniel V. Garcia Daily Lobo You've probably noticed several trends in filmmaking as of late. One is to remake an old flick based on the assumption that the current generation is too young to remember the original.

Editor, Impeach George Bush? That's kind of like a sick joke. It would take longer to push the paperwork through the system than he has left in office. Most of the people who are in a position to impeach him are his sycophants. Any Republican who voted to impeach would be politically doomed, whatever the outcome.
The Boom slate dominated the ASUNM elections Wednesday, with president, vice president and seven senators voted into office. Incumbent President Brittany Jaeger from Boom was re-elected, receiving 44 percent of
I am writing in response to the article in Wednesday's Daily Lobo, "Panel seeks to curb underage drinkers."
The Daily Lobo's article in Tuesday's paper about Scientology on campus brought up some interesting points from a conversation I had recently.
UNM student Lanlan Wang said she began practicing Falun Dafa, a controversial type of Chinese meditation, in March 1998. A year later, she was kicked out of Tsinghua University in China.

Most college baseball players would consider facing Triple-A pitching a nightmare, but for Matt Foote, it was a dream come true.
One of these days, I'm going to bite the bullet, pay to see a Major League Baseball game in person, and actually feel like I'm paying for some of those clowns' salaries.
To be honest with you, I hate this time of year. This is when I say goodbye to college basketball and face the long sleepless nights ahead waiting for football to start. During this time I face many delusions, cravings and mood swings that would rival even the most dependent drug addict.
The University of New Mexico baseball team dropped a 1-0 lead against the Albuquerque Isotopes Tuesday night at Isotopes Park.
Despite a report stating New Mexico's Public Education Department has been slow in improving education for American-Indian children, UNM has been hard at work, said Joseph Suina, associate professor.
Bryan Evans, a candidate for vice president on the Progressive Action Coalition slate, said he wants big changes in ASUNM.
