Lambert's public humiliation an unnecessary punishment
December 14Editor, UNM soccer player Elizabeth Lambert made Time Magazine’s Top 10 Pariahs, along with Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom, and Bernie Madoff. While Lambert’s actions were reprehensible, the appropriate discipline was meted out and we need to place the whole matter into perspective, relative to some of the others on the list. Lambert’s actions took place amidst an already heated physical contest with a conference rival. We watch football players cheap shot, trip, hold and brawl constantly.

Daily Lobo should dig deeper into IT printing fee policy
December 7Editor, The reason the 80 percent cutoff point for establishing the 250 pages per semester free printing limit at the computer labs is flawed (80 percent of students printed out less than 250 pages) is because it puts people who print out 251 pages in the same category as those who print out excessive amounts (10,000, as one student did). The policy-setters have thus determined that 251 pages equals excess, and also decided to literally tax or raise tuition for those students who printed between 251 and whatever real excess is.
