Editor, In Monday’s GOP primary debate, there were two statements regarding women’s health issues that were both incorrect and detrimental to society. First, the morning-after pill, also known as “Plan B,” is not the abortion pill.
Editor, With the drawn-out, false-hope-ified economic downturn comes a lot of panic and morose speculation on the future of our quality of life.

In U.S. history classes, students are taught to remember the Alamo. But during the era of the United States’ westward expansion, many stories were lost, or even purposely hidden, along the way.
Editor, The 2011 Domenici Public Policy Conference, held on the NMSU campus in Las Cruces last week, brought together experts on America’s national debt, economic outlook, national and cyber security, science, technology and health care reform to discuss progress in these areas and what can be done to maintain America’s competitiveness on a global scale. Even though I work for a public policy organization, I attended the conference as one of 14 student representatives from UNM.
Editor, I’d like to acknowledge the Daily Lobo for its decision regarding the front page photo on Friday’s issue, which honored the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

A handful of nickels may not save the world, but it adds up. The Staff Environs Committee’s Change for Trees program collects spare change to keep UNM green. The program began three years ago when UNM took pruning shears to the landscaping budget. “Keeping the campus green is important to us,” said Karen Wentworth, co-chair of the Staff Environs Committee. “As a committee, we were really bothered by how battered the campus looked, and we thought more trees were the answer. There’s a lot of concrete on campus, and we thought that if we could plant more trees and get them to grow, that would at least provide shade.”
The UNM Board of Regents on Tuesday officially adopted the University’s Consolidated Master Plan, a 10-15 year development plan intended to help UNM accommodate a projected 10-year state population growth of more than 1 million people.

I always shake the first day of school, and I wonder if the front row smells my fear, or possibly the sweat. Since I’m the only teacher in the classroom, I have to start talking, and I have to appear as competent and nonplussed as possible.
As program manager of UNM’s Campus Office of Substance Abuse Prevention (COSAP), I’d like to say a few words in response to Daily Lobo Columnist Will Desmare’s “DWI prevention a shared obligation,” in Monday’s issue. Before I do, let me say that anything that prompts discussion among members of the UNM community regarding this serious problem is by definition positive, so I thank Mr. Desmare for writing on a topic of grave interest to all New Mexicans.
Love, family, honor and survival, all of which are cornerstones of humanity, are at stake in Arthur Miller’s tragic play “A View from the Bridge.” Mother Road’s production makes for gripping, powerful theater.
