Hispanic Education Act doesn't address all students' problems

Editor, I am writing this letter in response to Patricia Roybal-Caballero’s letter “Hispanic Education Act will close academic gap in NM.” While there is a huge achievement gap between Hispanic students and other ethnic groups, the passing of this legislation is ignoring the problems faced by every other ethnic group in New Mexico.

Feeling alone on V-Day? Try these trusted tricks!

It’s here. You can’t run from it any longer. The only way to escape at this point would be to find a cave and hide out somewhere in the Sandias, but since those are occupied by chupacabras or a deposed Martin Chavez (I can’t decide which is worse), you have to deal with it at this point.

UNM athletes they're exempt from everything

Editor, A week ago, a student walked into class 30 minutes late, sat down, opened a bag of chips and started to text without any regard to how disruptive his actions were — much less the disrespect he showed toward the professor. The professor asked the student for his name and the student lied and gave the professor a fake name.

Allowing different opinions on campus helps broaden views

Editor, In response to David Luna’s letter in the Daily Lobo on Monday, “UNM should not allow hatemongering on campus,” I wish to add a different argument as to why Shawn the Baptist should be allowed to speak on campus. You cannot use the argument of free speech without accepting the term in its entirety.

Lobo readers need to chill out and ease up on the paranoia

Editor, I want to comment on two of the letters in the Feb. 4 opinion section — “9/11 an inside job” and “Daily Lobo a waste of paper” — two letters that, if truly representative of UNM’s student population, would make me ashamed to be a student here. The latter, “Daily Lobo a waste of paper” was just mean-spirited and sweepingly dismissive, because an error or two had slipped into print the entire paper was worthless.

Fire-and-brimstone preacher was just speaking the truth

Editor, In response to David Luna’s letter in the Lobo on Monday, “UNM should not allow hatemongering on campus:” First off, David, in your letter you said we all understand free speech and freedom to worship, but this doesn’t give us a license to say whatever we want whenever we want. Excuse me, but, yes it does. You also said Shawn the Baptist continued to tell the UNM community, and not just homosexuals this time, that God abhorred them because they were sinners and that they were doomed to spend eternity in hell because of the way they lived their lives.
