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.
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.

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.

Editor, Here is one employee who will not be doing a voluntary furlough, and I am sure there are many others in my situation.
