Daily Lobo: What makes this ASUNM election so important? Monika Roberts: I think just because of what's going in the University and everything, there's a need for really strong student leadership. Communication within the University right now is all over the place.
Diversity, leadership experience and fresh faces set Lobos Unidos apart from the competition in the ASUNM election, said Mike Westervelt, the vice presidential candidate on the slate.

Editor, I read the letter by Beth Johnson and the rebuttal by Michael Westervelt. I found them both to be very interesting. I think Westervelt misses the point because of two factors.

It's not quite accurate to call Tate Smith a dark horse in the UNM football team's quarterback competition. But he is more liberated. He can thank head coach Mike Locksley for that. Remember, when Locksley was introduced to replace Rocky Long, he said every position was up for grabs.
Editor, This letter is in response to the article last week on dormitory recycling. The two purposes of recycling are to keep things out of the landfill and to reuse materials rather than waste them.

Editor, I am completing my second and final year as an ASUNM senator, and I'm writing to give my two cents on the upcoming ASUNM election. I didn't get elected because I'm popular (I'm not in a sorority). I was elected because I ran with strong, intelligent leaders who cared about UNM students, and together we made a running platform of ambitious yet realistic goals.
