Spring break is one of the best things about being a student. I say this with experience. As a fifth-year senior about to graduate in May, I have had my fair share of spring breaks.
Editor, I am happy to see that at least the first three responses to Don Schrader’s letter are positive and civil. John Newton wrote one of the most popular hymns in the world — even in venues that do not hold to Christian principles or doctrines.
Editor, What’s next? Let’s see. On Jan. 21, when the Supreme Court granted corporations at least the rights that persons have in this country, that resulted in persons not having any say in who gets elected to public office. Corporations have gained the right to spend unlimited money to elect whoever favors them gaining more power or block the election of whoever is opposed to them gaining more power. That was January.

It has been an intense week in the House chamber of our state Legislature: razor-thin voting margins, unprecedented parliamentary procedures, three calls of the House for three straight days.

One of New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez’s first acts in office was to issue an executive order requiring the New Mexico Department of Public Safety to check immigration status during the discharge of its duties. Oh, how the political pendulum swings! Eight years ago, newly elected Gov.
Editor, A UNM student just left my office. I spent about 40 minutes with him this afternoon listening as he told me about what he was going through with his heroin addiction.
Editor, A bright source of joy and inspiration vanished from the world the day Elizabeth “Lizz” Ketterer died.
Editor, Is the modern definition of a dictatorship, “A government that exports the jobs of average workers to other countries for the benefit of corporations; destroys the economy by converting the stock market from a place to invest for the future to a place where a few speculators can make vast fortunes in a short period of time at the expense of everyone else; bankrupts the school system, pension funds, health care and the country’s infrastructure; and takes away the right to organize from average citizens?” If so, how close is the U.S.

Editor, As a member of the GPSA Council, I am disappointed in the representation of the New York Times proposal in reporter Kallie Red-Horse’s story, “Grads want ASUNM to pay more for Times tab.” The desire to collaborate with ASUNM was repeatedly voiced during consideration of this proposal, but the article presented yet another division between the two student governments.
