After much hard work on the part of online editor Junfu Han and Detroit Softworks, the Daily Lobo has revised its online comment system to require a valid e-mail account before a comment is published on our website.
Editor, Wednesday I was enjoying lunch, reviewing for a quiz, and chatting with some friends in the ANTS lounge in the bottom level of the SUB. Suddenly, we heard screaming and thundering footsteps from the SUB’s main level and saw people running in terror, followed by what sounded like several gunshots.
Editor, I am writing in response to Jason Darensburg’s piece, “America is not really a democracy, so why vote?” For starters, Jason, if you go to LoboWeb and look up next semester’s classes, you will be able to find intro-level political science courses that will hopefully correct your perverted misconception of our society.
Editor, Students in the Sustainability Studies 334 class started a campaign called “Education is Power,” which aims to reduce UNM’s electricity use by 10 percent.
Editor, The recent changes forced upon the MySpace community without its consent are pissing a lot of people off.
Editor, I wanted to comment on Jason Darensburg’s letter in the Daily Lobo on Wednesday. Jason, you hit the nail right on the head with your letter about voting.
Editor, Everyone contributing to the Educational Retirement Board (ERB) should take notice. The UNM Staff Council sent out one of its usual e-mails Tuesday, and the first paragraph alerts people about changes that the ERB is making.
Editor, I read the sad news that another gay teenager killed himself. Fourteen-year-old Brandon Bitner ended his life Nov.
Editor, So, another election cycle has come and gone. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Elections change nothing. It helps the ruling class to keep the charade of a representative democracy going in this country, despite overwhelming evidence that we now live in a one-party corporate state that is sliding deeper toward fascism every day.
This isn’t an opinion column. It’s just something that happened. And what happened was basically this: I got run out of Mexico by some cops. It should be noted that everyone I met in Mexico on this journey was nice.
Editor, How many of you know of Tim Osman? He is perhaps the most infamous man walking the face of the planet.
“Checking your bags” may have a different meaning when you head to the airport this holiday season.
Editor, My name is Adam Quintero and I am the UNM Queer Straight Alliance (QSA) co-chair. I am writing in response to the article printed in Monday, “Standing room only in show fit for a queen.” Although I am truly grateful for the article and how supportive the Daily Lobo has been to the QSA and the LGBTQ community, I just feel that the article failed to give credit to those who deserved it and was off on some facts. First and foremost — I, Adam Quintero, was not the “event organizer” for the drag show and am not the “president” of QSA.
Editor, There is never a time in American politics when there isn’t something new to be learned and analyzed.
Editor, On Veterans Day, the government gives all of its employees a day off with pay, paid for by taxing the worker.
Dear Non-Veteran Student, Thursday was Veterans Day. What comes to mind when you think of a veteran?
Seems like there is a month for everything these days. In October, the subjects ranged from the worthwhile (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) to the completely absurd (National Toilet Tank Repair Month). In that vein, National Cyber Security Awareness Month was somewhere near worthwhile.
Editor, As a UNM student and Albuquerque inhabitant, I was grateful for the forewarning of the imposing bed bug invasion.
Editor: I find myself seldom affected by on-campus demonstrators and boisterous ecclesiastics anymore.
Editor, I love living naked at home and mostly naked elsewhere, when I am warm enough. My naked, lean, healthy and well-tanned body is my favorite suit.
