Editor, I saw the letter Benjamin Sanchez wrote against gay marriage in the Daily Lobo on Monday. I thought that, as a philosophy major who specializes in being unreasonable, I could take a whack at responding to it. The first problem with Sanchez’s argument is that it cites Aristotle.
Editor, I am sure many will wonder why I would defend President Schmidly and his staff in light of all the controversy.
As I lean back on my ergonomic Home Solutions desk chair and bite into my Starbucks spinach and feta wrap, I can’t help but think of how irritated I’ve become by the subtle sponsorship plugs that occur in movies these days.
Editor, I oppose allowing people in a homosexual relationship to be married or to be granted a civil union.
Dear Dr. Peg, I heard that oral sex can cause air emboli in women. My pregnant friend told me. As a nursing student, I am interested in how this can occur, and as a woman I am concerned about my chances of having one if I receive oral sex.
Editor, On the front page of its Mail Out edition, which I believe goes out to all incoming freshman as well as alumni, the Daily Lobo published an article about UNM’s allegedly below-par graduation rate.
During the Daily Lobo’s three-week break, I grabbed a couple cameras and my notebook and headed down to the Gulf Coast to do a multimedia project on the oil spill (as well as a print piece for another Albuquerque publication). Three friends and I drove the 20-plus hours to Grand Isle, La., one of the hardest-hit coastal towns. The town has only one road, and it’s lined with dozens of houses on stilts, which help to protect the island’s 1,500 residents during hurricane season.
Editor, I was really interested in the political cartoon in the Daily Lobo the week of July 19. It implies that the stimulus will be the death of the Democrats.
When trying to prevent your identity from being stolen, it is recommended that you periodically review your credit report for open accounts that you did not authorize or changes to your mailing address that you did not make.
UNM announced a ban on gum today to coincide with the state’s increased tax on gum packs. The previous tax, 25 cents per pack, is now 50 cents a pack to deter health-related risks associated with gum chewing and cut back on under-aged chewing, said state spokesperson Tom Snaior.
Editor, I was playing tennis on main campus yesterday and was disappointed by the state of disrepair that half of the tennis courts are in.
Editor, After reading the Santa Fe New Mexican’s story “UNM Sex Scandal Sparks Second Lawsuit,” I am now a disturbed member of the student community.
Editor, Did I miss something? What a pity that the Daily Lobo should take no notice at all of Frank Szasz’s death.
Editor’s Note: There is no Notice of Application for a liquor license in the SUB. Editor, I wrote the following letter in response to a Notice of Application I saw at the SUB.
We have seen the pictures of the oil-slicked birds and the sludge that has been washed up on the Gulf’s coastlines.
Editor, Trying to figure out what Americans want from government as a result of the mess in the Gulf can only leave you scratching your head.
Editor, I read with mild interest Isaac Avilucea’s rambling article about cultural imperialism, poor journalism, immigration and soccer that linked criticism of FIFA’s Luddite ways with American ethnocentrism.
They come by the thousands from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador, fleeing poverty, hunger, violence and oppression.
Editor, As a director of Conexiones 2010, I very much appreciate Tricia Remark’s recent article, “Provost: Juarez Unfit for Travel.” Conexiones/Mexico, under the auspices of the University Honors Program and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, has served as many as 600 UNM students with a Spanish language/Mexican culture program of studies since 1986, located in our field center in Morelia, Michoacan. This year we arrived at the sad decision that security issues both at the border and in Michoacan were elevated to the extent that our ability to present the program was compromised.
I went to my first punk show a little while back and was immediately hit with an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.
