Editor, The reason the 80 percent cutoff point for establishing the 250 pages per semester free printing limit at the computer labs is flawed (80 percent of students printed out less than 250 pages) is because it puts people who print out 251 pages in the same category as those who print out excessive amounts (10,000, as one student did). The policy-setters have thus determined that 251 pages equals excess, and also decided to literally tax or raise tuition for those students who printed between 251 and whatever real excess is.
Let it ride! Essentially, the UNM men’s basketball team is playing roulette — whether Russian in nature, Saturday might tell — and the stakes are high.

With that said, Saturday’s game against New Mexico State, for which only 400 tickets remained available as of 4 p.m.
UNM women’s head coach Don Flanagan wants the Lobos to remain patient in the face of Texas Tech. The Lobos (5-2) will need all the offensive patience in West Texas on Saturday when UNM heads east to duel with the Lady Raiders on Saturday. “We have been successful when we’re patient,” Flanagan said.

From the editor-in-chief I apologize on behalf of myself and my staff for this error. I apologize to Crystal, her family, the staff and interns at El Centro de la Raza, and all UNM students for the distress this has caused. From the news editor I take responsibility for writing that Crystal Quiñonez was an undocumented student. Quiñonez is actually a U.S. citizen.

Editor, Sadly, the vast majority of the people with whom I have tried to engage in a dialogue at protests against what Barack Obama is doing, are either not willing to engage in dialogue or simply do not know how to do that.
Editor, It has always been clear to the nonpartisan critics of Barack Obama, even before his ascension to the American presidency, that he won’t solve this country’s fundamental problems.

All the players are the same — it’s only the minutes that will change. The Lobo lineup will remain intact when the UNM women’s basketball team (4-2) travels to NMSU on Wednesday, but point guard Amy Beggin will see diminished minutes due to a fatigued ankle — the same ankle she had minor surgery on in the offseason, said head coach Don Flanagan. Beggin, who played nearly 40 minutes per game last year, started off the season in similar fashion, playing all but two minutes through UNM’s first three games.
