Dear Editor, I am writing in response to a letter to the Editor that appeared in Wednesday’s edition of the Daily Lobo regarding UNM Parking and Transportation Services (PATS). The writer refers to PATS as “an independent, non-University profit vendor.” That is incorrect.
The Daily Lobo’s Aug. 29 article “Staff Health Care Costs on the Rise” reported on a topic of campus-wide concern. However, the article requires amplification on critical points concerning employee health care.
Editor, As I see it, there is only one question left unanswered for our species, and that question is this: Is it possible for us human beings to mature (grow up) enough that we no longer blame something we refer to as ‘god’ for what are natural occurrences on this planet —
Editor, Peaceful protests have been taking place in Syria against the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad since Jan. In a manner not too different from the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Syrians took to the streets to peacefully call for an overhaul of their corrupt and murderous government.
Editor, I just want to applaud Friday’s cartoon about the UNM Parking Daleks. As a side note, I applaud The Daily Lobo for getting a cartoonist that addresses UNM issues, not more syndicated pap. These parking kiosks might be convenient for Parking and Transportation Services (an independent, non-University profit vendor) but they suck for us.
Editor, It has become increasingly clear that the economy is stagnant. The White House has ceaselessly broken its promises. We were promised recovery and now we are in fear of a double-dip recession. The AAA credit rating has vanished.
Editor, In less than one year, UNM campus will be inundated with extensive campaigning from student, community and national groups.
Editor, On Friday the Daily Lobo had an article about a professor of English, Dr. Peter Lundman, who protested the Mass on the Grass that was held at the Duck Pond. Lundman is trying to force his atheistic beliefs down the throats of anyone within the UNM and CNM areas.
Over the last few years, I have been hearing the term “socialism” thrown around constantly. Very often the term has a negative connotation, as is the case with barrages of crazy Tea Party supporters who hold up signs claiming “Obama is a Socialist!” Never mind that Obama is, if anything, a painfully bland centrist whose economic views are actually to the right of past Republicans such as Dwight D.
Imagine a University policy which requires that you share access to any private computer you use at the University, such as your laptop, tablet or your computer in the dorms. For example, when you use your computer on campus, a University network administrator is able to install arbitrary programs on your computer.
Editor, It has been a long while since I last wrote to the Daily Lobo. I had no intention of joining in this debate over capitalism because I dislike what the opinion section of the Lobo has become: an extension of petty comments from anonymous critics who, for some reason unbeknownst to me, have a particular affinity for caps lock and rabble-rousing. Now, after reading the ongoing thread between Damian and Jose, I felt compelled to enter into the discussion with a plea for reasonable discourse and proper reflection on the argument. I do not agree that “a return to capitalism” is what this country needs; indeed, I am perplexed by such a statement.
Editor, Since the latest Iowa Straw poll, all the major news outlets have been appraising Michele Bachmann as a serious contender for the Presidency.
Hello, I am a “non-traditional student” here at UNM. What makes me non-traditional? I received a bachelor’s degree in Engineering from NMSU in 1987. After graduating, I worked for the U.S.
Editor’s Note: This letter is response to Jose Flores’ letter printed in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo,“Economy steals from poor, gives to rich,” which decried the current American economic system. Editor, First off, we do not live in a true capitalist system.
Editor, Every American has been affected by the social and political economy, particularly in recent years.
Why is there fear of the job market among incoming students? There’s still a few jobs to be had in the harassment industry. Start while you’re still a student, and you will get plenty to put on your résumé. Practice right here in the dorms by knocking on that dweeb’s door early in the morning, every third morning for three months, and then run right back to your room and take three deep, morning breaths. If you’re too nerdy to have the guts for the above, fall back to more cyber-bullying, just like in junior high.
Daily Nebraskan, U. Nebraska via UWIRE I want you to write down all of your most positive attributes in a single Word document.
Editor, If anyone has ever been addicted to drugs, or knows someone who has been, then both parties know the addict develops a skill for lying. This deceit is used in many ways so that the junkies can get their fix.
Editor, “I heard s**t went down.” Luke Holmen, quoting a student who clearly hasn’t put any thought into his remarks ultimately loosens the overall effectiveness your article has.
A reader at DailyLobo.com responded to last week’s letter, submitted by Lisa McBride: “List of Greeks’ positives could fill the Parthenon,” about the biased view of Greek life on UNM campus: by Barbara Vidal posted Monday “This is completely disgusting. I know tons of great, awesome, genuine people involved in Greek life who do amazing things for UNM and their respective houses, yet the difference [between] them and you, Lisa McBride, is that fact they are in Greek life because it fits into their lives and it calls to who they are; it is an important part of their lives and will continue to be one.
