Dr. Peggy Spencer | October 29

I had a patient last week who told me the story of her illness, ending with, “and then I looked it up online, and that was a bad idea.” She had found that some of her symptoms matched some pretty serious diseases, and suddenly she went from sick to sick and scared.

Higher requirements for scholarship is inequality

October 29

Editor, I am a student who, with the increase of the Bridge to Success Scholarship standards of a 3.0 GPA and a 23 ACT score, would have still been able to get the scholarship, and I write to tell you that not all of us are made equal.

The social contract does not exclude the unborn

Editor, You must wear a seatbelt. You must stop at a red light. You can’t drink alcohol and drive. You can’t talk on your cell phone and drive at the same time without a hands-free device. You must be 21 years old to drink alcohol.

Doctor’s stance ignores the baby’s perspective

October 28

Editor, Dr. Sandra Penn’s letter, “Vote ‘no’ on abortion restriction measure” found in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo, is nothing more than an attempt at the continued promulgation of genocide, dressing it up in the guise of “scientific detachment.”

COMMENTARY: Lobos don’t need a bowl to savor football season

Thomas Romero-Salas | October 28

There’s still a chance for the New Mexico football team to make a bowl game this year — it’s just not a favorable one. Sitting at 2-5 and coming off one of its worst performances in the Bob Davie era — a 45-10 shellacking by Utah State on Oct. 19 — the team’s chances are about as good as the odds of Congress agreeing on what to do with the government.
