Regular opinion contributer offers crude, anti-Semetic argument

Editor, It’s wonderful to see that the Daily Lobo provides a voice for even the most deranged and ignorant of UNM’s student body. One such student, the admirably vocal Muhajir Romero, managed to outdo himself in a recently published letter, wherein he shamelessly reduces the innumerable complexities of an entire geopolitical region into a single vitriolic, anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. Thank you for reminding me that I have the privilege of sharing my academic environment with maniacs such as Romero.

No Muslim extremists here

The most remarkable thing about the Muslim Student Association is how unremarkable it is. As a Daily Lobo reporter, I’ve covered countless student group and organization meetings.

UNM opens probe into nightclub incident

Little by little, the news continues to get worse for three UNM football players who were allegedly involved in a brawl at a downtown nightclub early Thanksgiving morning. The latest episode: Kim Kloeppel, with the Dean of Students, said the office is investigating the incident to determine whether UNM football players breached the University’s Student Code of Conduct in allegedly fighting with members of Lotus Nightlcub’s security staff. The three players, later identified as football players Julion Conley, Joe Harris and Bryant Williams, are a part of an on-campus fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Kloeppel said the office is also looking to determine if other fraternity members were involved in the scuffle. “At this time, I don’t have any specific answers as far as what the investigation has involved,” she said, adding that she would have more definitive information later this week. On top of that, Lotus Nightclub owner Brian Craig is threatening to file a civil complaint against the three players. He said it would have been a different story if his security were fully staffed the night of the incident.

Housing ‘plan’ confuses, worries community

The Lobo Development’s housing forum turned into a rapid-fire, question-and-answer session at the SUB on Tuesday night. ACC representatives did not present building plans, even though the forum was advertised as a public meeting to discuss American Campus Community’s main campus “Strategic Housing Plan.” “When folks hear ‘plan,’ they assume it’s a planning document and expect to see architectural deliverables and where buildings are going, and that’s not what the ‘Strategic Housing Plan’ is,” ACC representative Matt Stein said.
