Editor, It has come as a relief to the world community that the U.N. has concluded its human rights investigation of the Israeli military raid on the Turkish civilian flotilla.
Editor, Less than a week ago, the Daily Lobo wrote a piece, “Plagiarism Up, Punishment Down.” The other day, “community member” Jake Shalette “wrote” a piece, too, except the piece was stolen from Donna Gordon Blankinship from the Associated Press. The original article talks about what one cartoonist did.
Editor, I am writing this letter in response to a previous letter to the editor in Tuesday’s Daily Lobo, “Social norms repress men’s desire for sexual exploration.” That letter was one of the most ludicrous, maudlin and solipsistic opinion pieces I have ever had the displeasure of reading.
Editor’s Note: Lobos Abroad is a regular column written by Daily Lobo staff members studying in a different country this semester.
Editor, A U.S. cartoonist now hides from Muslim threats. The U.S. government has told her to hide rather than hunt down Islamic organizations that support the fatwah death edict against her. Seattle Weekly editor-in-chief Mark D.
In the first part of this series on UNM transportation, I discussed how UNM Parking and Transportation Services needs to step up to reduce the carbon footprint created by UNM’s transportation system – especially from single-occupancy vehicles (SOVs). One of the best ways to reduce that carbon footprint is for people to rethink where they live. I know this is outside today’s paradigm, but managing your travel options makes sense in a world of human-created climate instability and decreasing natural resources.
Editor, What is most important in an election year is that voters get to know the candidates behind all the rhetoric before they cast their votes.
Editor, UNM is dealing with painful cuts in funding, with ramifications that include cutting phone lines, firing TAs, increasing class sizes and reducing class options for undergraduates.
Editor, I agree with Joanne Michaelsen (about the Daily Lobo’s lack of volleyball coverage). What a disappointment.
Editor, I’m writing to let you know that it’s OK to swallow. I know you’ve seen them: thick, bubbling pools of saliva and mucus glistening cheerfully in the sun.
Editor, I had strong mixed feelings last week when seeing the Daily Lobo’s headline, “Plagiarism up, punishment down.” Part of me resigned myself to it and part of me winced and said, “That better not be true!” I’m a 56-year-old scientist coming back to finish a Ph.D.
Editor, One of America’s best-kept secrets is the multitude of bisexual men. I met a gay Anglo who had been in the Navy.
Editor, I have just returned from a visit to the UNM campus for a weekend of activities. I have to say I am extremely disappointed with the negative and pessimistic approach the Daily Lobo has taken with its sports coverage.
Dear Dr. Peg, I’m looking for someone to help me with my husband who is bipolar and refuses to get the help he needs.
Editor, The planetarium on campus hosts an open house Friday evenings if the sky is clear. I went last Friday and found the views from the telescopes fascinating.
On July 31, head football coach Mike Locksley approached Daily Lobo sports editor Ryan Tomari at Uptown Sports Bar. Locksley disagreed with the stance Tomari took in a column where he said the UNM football program was in “shambles.” Locksley sat down with Tomari and Tomari’s friend and discussed the column and coverage issues.
Every college student is busy with school, work and life. Many of us work several jobs and are full-time students. There’s barely time to breathe between classes, work and attempting to stay connected to our friends, let alone sleep.
There are a lot of things about school that interfere with my doing-nothing-of-importance time. I like to read a lot of books — mostly about things that have a little to do with my studies, or just things I want to learn about.
