Editor, It’s funny how some of ASUNM Sen. Sean Mallory’s quotes in “ASUNM resolution cites Athletics’ accomplishments” echoes words in an Albuquerque Journal op-ed signed by President David Schmidly – both published Friday. I’m glad that Mallory took my advice that ASUNM should chime in on UNM Athletics.
Editor, I believe it was Spiderman’s dad who said that with great power comes great responsibility.
The Oscars are back and as useless as ever, expanding the best picture category to 10 pictures even though all anybody cares about are the front-runners.
Editor, As we all know by now, the IT labs are implementing a pay-to-print policy. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has been witness to students printing hundreds of pages at a time in the computer labs on campus.
Editor, As much coverage as the Graduate and Professional Student Association/Athletics Department issue has gotten at the Daily Lobo, it seems that close attention should have been paid to the way the graphs were labeled.
Editor, “Is there any questions?” to me is the clearest example of the ignorance that plagues the UNM campus.
Editor, What is the editor thinking? The front-page pie charts have mislabeled percentage votes. Are the articles even looked over once before they’re published?
Editor, I want to commend Tricia Remark on her article “Not all centers created equal” published Jan.
Editor, Wondering where the 9/11 trials should be held? Maybe it’s time to state who should be put on trial for 9/11.
News story not widely picked up in the U.S.: On Jan. 13 of this year, Mexican newspaper El Universal published a story titled “Europa acusa a OMS de ‘inflar’ epidemia” or “Europe accuses WHO of ‘inflating’ epidemic.” The gist of the story is that the European Union says the World Health Organization exaggerated the risks of swine flu.
Editor, You might have noticed the sex column about anal sex: “Clean and painless anal sex- no butts about it.” It might be beneficial for you to write the next column about anal sex from a medical perspective.
The iPad is going to ruin humanity. For those out of the loop, the iPad is Apple’s newest product, commonly referred to as a tablet.
Editor, Below is an election question, word for word, from the GPSA. Does this look like a fair election question?
Editor, Supposedly, this is a smoke-free campus, and allegedly one is only allowed to use tobacco in designated areas.
Editor, Many years ago, I was a student at UNM and had many classes at Mitchell Hall. I had fond and not so fond memories, the degree of fondness being directly related to how often I attended class in any given course. For some years I have wondered, who was the “Mitchell” in Mitchell Hall? I have asked a number of in-the-know UNM officials and my question has always been met with the response, “I don’t know.” Perhaps there is an easy answer and it may be that the history of Mitchell Hall has been the subject of a Lobo article. I only see the Daily Lobo if I happen to be strolling through campus and pick up an edition. If so, please ignore this letter. But if not, it would be an interesting assignment for someone at the paper. This evening, I did walk through campus and admired the renovation to the building.
Is anything sustainable? Newton’s laws of physics tell us that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
Editor, On Wednesday, UNM staff members arrived to uproot the “Hokona Community Garden,” a sustainable vegetable garden started by one of the dorm’s residents, Alex Borowski. In what was a dirt pit, sprouting weeds and collecting cigarette butts, there is now lettuce, kale and broccoli.
Editor, Last Friday the Daily Lobo featured an article entitled “Not all centers created equal.” In the article a UNM student talks about her experience at one of the five local Care Net Pregnancy Centers.
Editor, Last Monday, the Daily Lobo ran a photo of our defending NCAA 1-mile champion, Lee Emanuel, who had just finished a grueling race inside the Convention Center Indoor Track and Field Complex.
Editor, I was delighted to hear in a recent Daily Lobo article that La Posada is taking steps to be more environmentally friendly.
