Editor, 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.
As many as 90 percent of all women deal with various degrees of premenstrual syndrome, ranging from moderate to severe aches, pains, bloating and emotional stress during their reproductive years.
Editor, Sadly, the vast majority of the people with whom I have tried to engage in a dialogue at protests against what Barack Obama is doing, are either not willing to engage in dialogue or simply do not know how to do that.
Editor, It has always been clear to the nonpartisan critics of Barack Obama, even before his ascension to the American presidency, that he won’t solve this country’s fundamental problems.
Editor, I’m writing in response to Donald Gluck’s letter to the editor titled “PIRG has leftist agenda, should not be allocated fees.” Improving health, protecting our environment, high-quality education, safety, etc., are not left or right issues.
The holiday season is one of the most stress-filled times of the year. And 2009 has not been the greatest of years.
Editor, We appreciate the attention the UNM Graduate and Professional Student Association Council is getting as we deliberate on what message to send UNM administration on its handling of the Locksley incident.
Editor, I am writing to express my strong objection to UNM-PIRG receiving student fees to hire PIRG employees.
More than 30 graduate students packed into the GPSA office Monday, hoping to hear their student leaders discuss a no-confidence vote in UNM’s athletics administration.
Editor, We have been told, “Seek until you find.” There are far too many or us who seem to be seeking someone to follow and obey so that we will not have to take responsibility for what we think, say and do. There are far too many of us who seem to be seeking people who will follow and obey us so that we can have the illusion of being superior to those who follow and obey. There are far too few of us who seek to work peacefully, cooperatively and on an equal basis with all other people to determine and implement what is best for us all. And we wonder why we have problems. Robert Gardiner Daily Lobo reader
Editor, I read with dismay Matthew Waters’ letter to the editor published in the Nov. 20 issue of the Daily Lobo.
Editor, Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the Daily Lobo’s Ryan Tomari a UNM student? Whatever happened to school spirit?
Editor, Last week I submitted a letter to you about the lack of sensitivity in the article “Student with flu symptom dies, another freshman hospitalized,” published Nov.
Editor, I am a graduate of BYU and saw a clip of Elizabeth Lambert’s exuberance on YouTube.com. It was a bad situation, but while seeking some way to express my opinion for forgiveness, I came across Miss Lambert’s excuse for such behavior as immodesty on the part of BYU players in order to gain some kind of edge.
Editor, I have found my walk past the SUB on my way to classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays are less stressful than they have been in the recent past.
Editor, The end of the great men’s NCAA tournament soccer match Thursday night was a ridiculous spectacle.
Editor, What makes Techno Guy think the rest of us want to be exposed to his type of music in the first place?
Editor, I am concerned about the meat-ax approach taken by the Information Technologies department to reduce the amount of paper used in the computer pods.
Editor, This is an open letter to Senator Tom Udall: Thanks for the wonderful e-mail sharing your accomplishment in marking Thursday, Nov.
