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.

Editor, The campaign for the governor’s office has opened with a barrage of words promising to change or eliminate the “pit rule,” a state rule that requires disposal of toxic drilling wastes in certified landfills rather than burial at the drilling site.

Editor, I congratulate Professor Melissa Bokovoy for sharing with readers the current state of education at UNM, and in particular, for her solidarity with the “poorly compensated part-time faculty.” I encourage other faculty members and students to publicly share their thoughts and experiences regarding these matters.
Since March 14, I have spent my Sundays glued to my 42-inch flat-screen HDTV pretending that I am avoiding Japanese artillery, gunfire, horrendous surroundings and malaria. Well, OK, pretending to be in the horrors of World War II is stretching it a bit.
