COLUMN: AmeriCorps has bad agenda

March 20

Some Americans may have been led to believe that expanding the federal AmeriCorps program is just what the country needs after Sept. 11. But, in spite of its patriotic name, AmeriCorps represents the worst, not the best, that Washington has to offer.

LETTER: Contraception information available on campus today

March 20

Did you know that there is a "back-up" method of birth control that women can get to keep in their medicine cabinet? You may have heard of "emergency contraception" or the "morning after pill." This is a higher dose of daily birth control pills that can be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure to help prevent pregnancy. Widespread knowledge and use of this back-up birth control method could prevent as many as half of the three million unintended pregnancies that occur each in the United States.

LETTER: Additional bike racks would end need to lock to handrails

March 19

Ever since I began attending classes at UNM many years ago, there has been the constant debate simmering over the issue of students locking their bikes to hand rails. And every year, the same valid arguments arise. Yes, it is a problem. Yes, it is inconsiderate to the handicapped. No, it isn't really the responsibility of the UNM Physical Plant or campus police to hunt down and remove improperly parked bicycles.

LETTER: Loss of leaders just adds to increasing UNM costs

March 19

So UNM is going to pay probably half a million dollars to make a failed coach go away and more resources will be wasted to replace him in a job that is really not related to the mission of higher education, but one more appropriate to high school cheerleading? And the regents are going to spend thousands more to replace a president who probably sees the mess in the state and wants out. You can't blame him, but remember how much money was quietly given the last president to leave?

COLUMN: Multiculturalism ignores truth

March 19

While browsing The New York Times Web site, I came across a rather interesting sentence imbedded in a piece chronicling the story of a former Russian army officer that is now living in the United States and has been granted asylum. It seems that the defector, Andrei Samorodov, has been giving interviews to several Texas dailies - Texas, his new home, I guess is even today still a step up from Russia - exposing behavior by Russian army units in Chechnya that he categorizes as "war crimes."
