Editor, I was not surprised at the tastelessness of the Lobo Louie ad described in the Sept. 25 article, and the lack of judgment shown by the Athletics Department.
Editor, Our anguish began when we left Afghanistan to fend for itself after the expulsion of the Red Army in 1989.
Editor, Did you know the overall graduation rate for UNM undergraduates, six years after enrollment, is only 44 percent?
Editor, While many analysts are claiming that the Obama “surge” in Afghanistan will result in turning around the “good” war against terrorism, top military officials and public polls demonstrate the contrary.
Q: I’m often in a position in which I must choose between getting 8 hours of sleep or exercising. Is it healthier to sacrifice sleep in order to make time for a morning workout? — LG A: This is a great question, LG!
Editor, Since the Lobo has been discussing the issue of smoking on campus recently, I wanted to bring up a few additional points. First, smokers are not respecting the “no smoking on campus” policy. There are plenty of smokers lighting up cigarettes as they are walking to class, walking along Smith Plaza, and standing outside their dorms — all in non-smoking spots. Second, there is no reprimand for a smoker breaking the non-smoking policy.
Editor, September is a time of bird migration in New Mexico. On Saturday morning I came to George Pearl Hall to study.
Editor, Upon hearing the speech of former Mexican President Vicente Fox at Popejoy Hall, it became obvious why he was considered a great leader by many dignitaries of the United States.
Editor, Former Mexican President Vicente Fox recently visited UNM where he gave two presentations to describe his background and work during his presidency.
Sex slavery is illegal. This should be obvious to most Americans. However, a few people still fail to comprehend it.
Editor, Student and faculty glue-sniffers and paint-huffers have just as many rights as the smokers.
Most people think college campuses across the U.S. are generally safe. Although relatively minor cases of theft or assault are common across campuses, it is not every day that we hear about atrocious crimes in universities.
Editor, I read the other day that President Obama is trying to eliminate international tax credits on U.S.
Imagine you’re on a date. The moon is full, the air is crisp and you’re standing toe-to-toe, saying good night. On your way home, you keep thinking about the taste of her lips and how excited you are to see her again. Then your phone lights up and the screen reads, “Thanks for the great night,” with a tacky smile afterwards. Now, for me, this is one of the biggest turnoffs after any date. When you drop someone off, even if you had a great night, you dropped him or her off.
Editor, The debate involving the observance of Veterans Day is absurd and irrational. Honoring our veterans, on their day of national recognition, is a simple way we can give back to the brave men and women who have served and are currently serving our military.
Editor, I sympathize with people who can’t afford health insurance, and I agree that health care costs are too high, but that is only a symptom of a much bigger problem.
Editor, I cringe every time someone sneezes. I sit anywhere — in class, the commons in Dane Smith, even outside on this gorgeous campus — and it always seems that all around me people are sneezing and coughing, causing their germs to spread throughout the area. As a general rule of thumb in a closed room, like a classroom, those germs are still prevalent within the air that we, your classmates, breath.
Editor, I have been reading the debate in the Daily Lobo over service to our country, the wording of “true heroes” and the observance of Veterans Day.
Editor, I really think that smokers deserve to have a little more respect than the areas designated for them display. I feel bad when I see most of the areas do not have any shade and some of them have no seating.
The reaction I get when I tell someone I am a vegetarian is very often the same. Over and over again, I hear “Oh, I could never be a vegetarian.
