Editor, The UNM Center for Reproductive Health provides comprehensive obstetric and gynecologic health services for New Mexico women, and it does so in a safe and supportive environment. The clinic is staffed by UNM physicians who are nationally recognized medical experts.
Editor, With so many quarters cheering at the top of their lungs for the so-called “Arab Spring,” one has to wonder if the concepts of Islam and Democracy are compatible. The definition of Islam is “Submission to the will of God;” the definition of democracy is “a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them.” Let us examine the question of supreme authority in both systems. In Islam the ultimate authority to legislate laws comes from Allah as revealed in the Quran and the way, or Sunnah, of the Prophet Muhammad.
What would happen if a student and a professor were attracted to each other and had a relationship? It might carry on quietly and happily, or it might be exposed.
Editor, I am writing this letter to protest the printing of the comic strip Lakewood. Other than hardly ever being funny, Lakewood’s style of humor insults the student body.
No one is perfect. The devil is in the details. No good deed goes unpunished. These statements are all cliché, but every one accurately describes Bernalillo County’s Ethics Ordinance.
Editor, I was deeply saddened when I discovered that the Souper Salad near the University went out of business last week. As a student, and now as a staff person, Souper Salad always fed me for a reasonable price.
Editor, With many Muslims involved in rebellion against their leaders, one has to wonder: Is this rebellion permissible according to Islam? This question has largely gone unnoticed in the media coverage of the so-called “Arab Spring.” However, Al-Jazeera and Fox News didn’t teach Islam to the world; the Prophet Muhammad did. The Prophet Muhammad said, “Whoever wishes to advise the ruler, then let him not mention it in public, rather let him take the ruler by his hand.
Editor, You know, everything was fine until Al Gore had to point out the whole climate-change thing, but now New York suddenly has a seven-month-long winter.
Editor, After decades of exile to environmentalism’s legal fringes, the notion that natural systems could have legal rights is receiving serious attention.
If you’ve always wanted to write for the Daily Lobo but never knew how to get your foot in the door, here’s your chance. The Daily Lobo began its first series of summer writing workshops two weeks ago, and so far they have been a great success.
Bristol Palin has a gnat problem, and we all get to hear about it. That’s how she describes her estranged baby daddy, Levi Johnston, who, if her new memoir out this week is to be believed, took her virginity when she was 17 during a camping trip while she was drunk on wine coolers.
Editor, Perhaps you have noticed more APD officers in the campus area lately? Since February, APD has been conducting a “crime reduction initiative” in our community. Members of the neighborhood and business associations, along with UNM security, have been meeting with Sgt.
Editor, I was pleased to read your recent coverage of the one-year anniversary of the Association of Burundian Americans in New Mexico.
Editor, Dialogue in the comments section of the Daily Lobo website is extremely off-putting. Polarized and uninformed viewpoints abound, but that’s not the only problem. Some comments are obviously trolls trying a crude hand at sarcasm or some other form of humor.
The following is a work of satire from the editor of the local ‘zine, The Nightly Noodle Monthly.
I would like to respond to the May 4 article by Luke Holmen entitled “Professors leave UNM for better salaries.” While the salary issue is definitely one that requires attention, I would like to comment on the assertions that faculty research productivity and support for faculty research are decreasing.
Editor, I would like some clarification from Parking and Transportation Services (PATS) Director Clovis Acosta on the impact of increased parking rates.
It’s really a shame that Harold Camping, who predicted the rapture would come on May 21, was wrong.
Editor, Recreational Services did UNM staff a disservice when it stopped the time-honored tradition of opening Johnson Center from 7-9 a.m.
Editor, I see the Board of Regents recently spent $12,000 to meet with the Health Sciences Center at the luxury Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa.
