I have to pass a math class in order to graduate. While I respect math and its precision, you could literally sink Albuquerque in the void that is my desire to work on math.
Editor, In running for GPSA president, I have not once referenced the current GPSA president, and the idea that I am running against her is confusing and inaccurate. I decided to run for GPSA president because I believe that GPSA needs more input from the student body.
You are in a bad mood all the time. You have no energy, and nothing is fun. You don’t want to spend time with anybody because all they do is make you mad.
Editor, The saying, “Things are not always what they seem” is most appropriate when speaking about the U.S.

Editor, The completion of the 2011 legislative session in Santa Fe is just the beginning of the new year for UNM.
Editor, What kind of leader would you like to be? Our involvement in Libya may not seem related to the health of our planet, but it brings up interesting issues.
Editor, If you truly desire happiness, become aware of what is truly happening in each moment. Immerse yourself in that and deal with it as best as you can and leave everything else to whatever is the Source of All That Is. Our species has two choices: 1) Refuse to mature to our potential, continue to divide into warring camps and play the juvenile game of “win/lose,” which makes us all losers and ensures that our species cannot survive.
Editor, I’m writing the nearly identical letter to one I wrote several years ago when a previous University president, upon announcing a tuition increase, earnestly commented that ”UNM really is a bargain — cheaper than most of its comparable state universities.” The problem with this statement, repeated over and over again by university administrators, is that New Mexico was, and still is, one of the poorest states in the union with high unemployment levels, even in good times. Furthermore, most of our employed citizens earn less for comparable jobs than their peers in other states.
Editor, President David Schmidly said it’s a misconception that New Mexican families cannot afford tuition increases.
Editor, During my work this legislative session as an Environment New Mexico intern, I saw firsthand an array of attacks undertaken against environmental regulations.

Editor, Once again, the people in authority positions at UNM refuse to acknowledge that they work for UNM students.

Editor, First, I’d like to thank the students who protested at Monday’s budget summit. And despite the prolonged meeting, many returned to speak their minds during public comment and did so eloquently, intelligently and successfully.
Editor, On Saturday, the GPSA Council approved a new constitution to be placed on the general election ballot. This proposed constitution is the result of hundreds of hours of work by the GPSA Constitution Committee, as well as several hours of debate and fine-tuning at the council meeting.
Editor, Imagine yourself in Japan — now. Imagine you have survived the earthquake and tsunami. You have lost everything.
Editor, I came to the budget summit because I wanted to see where my tuition money was going, and I wanted to hear what students had to say. Protest was in everyone’s mouths.
Editor, It certainly appears that during this time in the history of our species, the government of, by and for the people is struggling to be born at various locations on the planet.
