I can’t believe the Lobo lets such rubbish as Jason Stafford’s “‘Murican’ policies prop up the rich,” in Monday’s issue, defile its pages. It’s a hateful piece of conjecture which, as usual, quotes no facts and has no redeemable value.
The room is painted black. The only light comes from three narrow spotlights, one near the door and two others on the opposite side of the room. Under the first spotlight spins a potato on a fishing line.
Usually when one imagines a poetry reading, the image involves a single speaker under a spotlight reading from a note card or reciting verse from memory. Santa Fe group Teatro Paraguas is changing that image one reading at a time.

The best advice I can give to my fellow UNM students right now is this: get out of the country while you still can. You’re young, smart and you’ve got the time and the energy to do it. If you attend classes at the University of New Mexico, you can probably afford it, too. Or at least your parents can. Buy yourself a passport and get out now!
There have been some recent opinions in the Daily Lobo about love, relationships, dating and other aspects of interpersonal interaction beyond friendship. I’ve agreed with some points and disagreed with others, but all in all I’ve enjoyed following the debates.

It is hard to imagine what anyone would do to survive in the midst of war. Would you chat up the guards for better rations? Would you lie to other prisoners if it meant not admitting to yourself that they were going to die? Would you sleep with enemy soldiers for warmth and protection?
Last week I saw several patients who were suffering from anxiety. Granted, this was the week before Fall Break, and by the time this article hits the stands, perhaps the break will have calmed some people down, but anxiety is common enough that I think it worth addressing.
Editor, Many adults get rich off poisoning kids’ bodies and minds. Many churchgoers are horrified when kids kill kids and old people, but these are the same churchgoers who have no conscience against paying Uncle Sam tax dollars to kill kids and old people in other nations.
