by Chris Narkun Daily Lobo President Bush on Thursday gave his most recent defense of his Iraq policy. It's necessary because his approval rating on Iraq policy is hovering in the 30s and because Americans more than ever want to know how and when we plan to leave.
by Steven Fernandez Daily Lobo Head coach Matt Henry is sick of seeing the same old regional opponents. That's why the Lobos will travel to Auburn, Ala. - to try to get some momentum going into the upcoming Mountain West Conference meet. "We're traveling a long way this week, and we're actually doing that on purpose," Henry said.
by Daniel S. Archuleta Daily Lobo Coming home and getting out of Texas will bring relief to the UNM football team as it squares off against conference foe Brigham Young University on Saturday. The state of Texas was not pleasant for the Lobos.

by Christopher Sanchez Daily Lobo Eight hours after he filed a suit against the U.S. Air Force, Mikey Weinstein, an Albuquerque resident, spoke to UNM students and faculty members Thursday evening at the School of Law. Weinstein, a 1977 graduate of the U.
Editor, In response to Colin Donoghue's column in Tuesday's Daily Lobo, "Voting still a murky affair," Donoghue has adequately pointed out many of the symptoms we are regularly faced with in our sick electoral system. In fact, it is fairly indisputable that the United States has one of the worst records in the world among countries that practice open elections as far as our ability to count votes correctly and the extent of our restrictions on who we let vote.
Editor, This letter is in response to Jason Darensburg's ill-informed and rather naive letter from Thursday's Daily Lobo in which he attacks a letter that was written by Rebekah Casey. I feel the need to correct and expand on a few of the points Darensburg tried to make.
by Caleb Fort Daily Lobo Kenneth Gonzales, a UNM graduate, said he got his job with IBM about five years ago by attending a job fair. After going to several fairs, he got to know the manager who hired him, he said. About 800 students attended the 25th annual Hispanic Engineering and Science Organization Career Fair on Thursday.
Editor, I feel it a little unfair that I am picking on Larry Crum twice in as many months, but it appears that I will have to do it until he submits a legitimate argument. In this case, in his letter in Wednesday's Daily Lobo, Crum found it offensive that there was a peer group offering mentoring services for people of color.
by John Bear Daily Lobo In Albuquerque they are homies. In England they are old beans. In the end they are all friends. Friendship is what motivates Old Beans, an Albuquerque band in its third year. They lack the ambition that fuels many other bands - the fame and the fortune.
Editor, I am writing in response to Rebekah Casey's letter, published on Oct. 3, 2005. Casey states that America under the Bush Doctrine has brought freedom to the women of Iraq and Afghanistan. Leaving the complex and still uncertain experiences of Iraqi women aside for the moment, I would like to point out that the so-called Bush Doctrine has done little to bring freedom to the women of Afghanistan.
by Maria Staiano-Daniels Daily Lobo What do you see when you think of the Middle East? For many Americans, images from movies and the news may spring to mind: veiled women, angry young men with machine guns, Palestinian children throwing stones at Israeli tanks.
Editor, I am writing in response to Rebekah Casey's letter in Monday's Daily Lobo titled "Self-pitying liberals distort Bush's fight for democracy." As a self-pitying liberal, I took exception to several of her statements and thought I might offer a few points of clarification.
by Maria DeBlassie Daily Lobo Tal Caspi hates TV. "TV takes away your time," Caspi said. "You sit there and don't do anything or think anything. You become one with the television." Caspi is the creator of Kill TV, a group of artists who try to represent art in a different kind of way, including displaying artists' work online.
by Sophie Sorenson Daily Lobo Long black hair waved, soft shoes pattered and thick turquoise jewelry jingled at the Hibben Center on Wednesday night. Dineh Tah Navajo Dancers entertained an audience of about 100 people Wednesday night for the 35th anniversary of Navajo language instruction at UNM.
by Christopher Sanchez Daily Lobo Free food and massages were provided to students and staff on Tuesday at Smith Plaza to celebrate this year's World Food Day. World Food Day, which is Oct. 15, was celebrated early by UNM's Student Health Center because of Fall Break, said Maya Trujillo of Peer Educators.
Editor, After reading the end of end of Rebekah Casey's letter on Monday, I couldn't help but write this letter. She told student Brian Fejer that "You may lick the hand of fanatic Islam that hates you - and may your chains rest lightly upon you." Why such a powerful lie against a peaceful religion with more than a billion followers? Casey seems to be fond of Vladimir Lenin's idea: "A lie told often enough becomes the truth.
by Abel Horwitz Daily Lobo The strongest endorsement I can give "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is that the children sitting in front of me during the screening laughed and cheered the whole way through. The film is cute, and, surprisingly, cute has a lot of merit.
by Jessica Del Curto Daily Lobo Some hip-hop purists talk trash about "hippie hip-hop." It's too experimental, they say. Too abstract, too watered down, too stripped of all its street credibility. This, of course, is ridiculous. 2bers, a local hip-hop group that falls under the category of "hippie," is intelligent music at its best.
