Editor, As someone who has spent two terms in UNLV’s student Senate and two years editing the Rebel Yell student newspaper, I consider it a grave misunderstanding what’s going on at UNM.

A number of letters have been printed in the Daily Lobo’s Opinion section during the past few days regarding ASUNM Senate Bill 5B. Some of them have had very valid points and/or questions that need to be answered, but the majority have been off the real issue and have been used only to slight the image of the ASUNM Senate

I enjoyed reading Laura Valdez’s Thursday column titled, “Colonized, oppressed people are trapped,” in the Daily Lobo.
Under a proposed new federal medical "privacy" rule, government control over our medical records could be a lot closer than we think, and we only have until March 30 to offer our comments to the government.
I’d like to know exactly what circumstances in Laura Valdez’s life constitute “oppression.” She is employed at a university filled with upwardly mobile, educated and diverse Hispanic students. She has a job and a guaranteed right to free speech and liberty.
A new group called Campus Watchers is trying to draw attention to sexual assault on campus and hopes to bring the UNM community together to fight the problem. The group is made up of members of the Agora Crisis Center, a student-run crisis hotline; Students Educating Peers About Sex; Triota, a Women’s Studies honor society; Rainndrops, a national anti-sexual assault group; and Albuquerque Rape Crisis Center. “This isn’t a response to any single incident, it’s more of a response to the complacency and lack of knowledge about sexual assault,” said Jeremy Jaramillo, president of Students Educating Peers About Sex. “You can read a lot into the word ‘watchers’ and understand what this group is about. We want people to become more aware and watch out for others on this campus.”

DETROIT — Lawyers for the University of Michigan and a group of minority students said this week they will immediately appeal a decision by U.S. District Court Judge Bernard Friedman that the university’s race-conscious law school admissions policy is unconstitutional. In a stinging 90-page decision released this week, Friedman rejected the university’s arguments that race was one of many factors used in admissions and said the law school’s admissions policy overemphasizes race to attain the functional equivalent of quotas of minority students.

Martin Blais, owner of local business Innovation Kites, tests his crow kite...
These days, there is a major problem with common sense. Its absence in American society is disturbing; it seems as if people have dispensed with common sense in order to avoid offending anybody.
Please stop reporting on what Stanton T. Friedman says about UFOs and “aliens.” He is not a nuclear physicist and has never provided proof of ever being one, nor can you find any real physicists who know of him working in that field.
