With UNM football receiving most of the attention during the fall semester, it's easy to overlook smaller sports such as cross country. But the UNM men's cross country team has a pre-season ranking at No. 15 in the U.S. The ranking is the highest UNM has had since 1989, and it's the first appearance in the national poll since 2004.

Editor, I appreciated Lisa Ruby's response to Lila Sanchez's letter regarding Ralph Nader. I would like to acknowledge that Nader has done excellent work in his lifetime that makes America safer. There was a time when American automobile manufacturers would not put any device in their cars that they did not hold a patent for.

Editor, After reading your review for "The Clone Wars," I was a little disappointed. I was disappointed in the maturity of the author of the review. I am not here to tell you George Lucas' latest creation is the movie of the year. Commenting on this movie is beneath me, as should it be beneath the author.

After two weeks of the 2008 NFL season, there are 10 teams with an undefeated record of 2-0. Oh, and what a coincidence that both conferences share five undefeated teams a piece. I have joined the bandwagon and sadly must admit that the Dallas Cowboys can win the 2009 Super Bowl.
Daily Lobo: So, what's your major? Alyssa Adams: I'm actually undecided. I feel like I'm a professional soul-seeker. DL: Are you confused about what to choose as a major? AA: No, I'm just really interested in taking a lot of different classes. I like to have the different experience.
