As team leader, junior helps steer ship

There's a reason Max Willett is the only nonsenior to be a captain for the UNM baseball team. Willett will join Lobo seniors Kevin Atkinson, Mike Brownstein, Dane Hamilton, Clinton Cox and Daniel Grubbs.

Schmidly, Koch must be held accountable for their actions

Editor, I love UNM, and it is consoling to see such coverage of the current crisis enveloping this University. The importance of collaborative involvement to abate this manifesting problem cannot be overstated. It is, however, very disconcerting when I find that the president of ASUNM and other students like Charles Matthews are still defending President David Schmidly.

Opinion letter writers should get facts, reasoning straight

Editor, In response to the Feb. 12 Opinion section of the Daily Lobo: Phillip Howell, you offer nothing as an alternative to the stimulus package.

BYU produced a 53-game home winning streak from Nov.

Help lead the movement for positive change at UNM

Editor, I believe that the time is ripe to organize and get the type of university that we want. We need to act fast, though. Otherwise, this whole mess will blow right by, and we will not get a chance to speak. I am not currently a student, but I will be eventually, and I want to help participate in the creation of the new University.

'Pick your poison'

Not all staff can bear furloughs; those who can should volunteer

Editor, Here is one employee who will not be doing a voluntary furlough, and I am sure there are many others in my situation. After 21 years with UNM, I am earning a whopping salary of $30,000 a year, and I doubt my furlough would even make a dent. I will need to work a few more years in order to have a decent retirement as I support myself.
