"Peaceful" protests tend to lack efficacy

Max Fitzpatrick / Daily Lobo guest columnist | April 1

Sunday’s protest in Albuquerque brought attention to the long-standing problem of police violence and stirred public debate on protest methods.

Theater Review: Bland play offers fine acting

Graham Gentz | March 31

There really isn’t much to say about ‘Juno and the Paycock.” It’s not terrible, but it’s not very good, either. It’s screamy, odd, bland and long. Written in 1924 and set in 1922, the play is incredibly Irish in an exaggeratedly tragic way. When the narrative starts, it just doesn’t stop

UNM’s advice on tear gas goes out the window

March 31

Editor, Residents of Redondo Village surely appreciated the advice printed in the Albuquerque Journal today, that “UNM… advised students to use their air conditioners if the gas caused any issues.” If our air conditioners worked, you bet we would have been using them instead of keeping all of the windows open in a futile attempt to keep our rooms livable.
