Letter: Liberals are not at fault for U.S. military failure

Editor, I understand that Andrew Price's article "Liberals Doom America" in Tuesday's Daily Lobo is an opinion piece, and as such is entitled to some freewheeling use of language. However, he resorted to the kind of hollow hyperbole that freshman composition students are warned against every day on this campus.

Letter: Dancing burnout losers have too much free time

Editor, As I ambled into Zimmerman Library yesterday, I was pleasantly greeted by the techno dance music that lately has polluted the air surrounding the SUB.

Just because a minority of people objected to the holiday on the grounds that it had religious undertones, Halloween was canceled in at least one school in Boston.

Editor, In his column in Tuesday's Daily Lobo, Andrew Price stated that Carthage lost the Second Punic War to Rome because the Carthaginian government had no stomach for the casualties and feared the power of a triumphant Hannibal.
