The human mind needs more durable form for space travel

Nonsmokers need to be strong, confront bothersome smokers
September 28Editor, UNM’s recent decision to limit tobacco use on campus has become a point of contention among the entire student population, but no group has been more outspoken than UNM’s nonsmoking students. According to their multiple letters to the editor and their testimony offered to any peer within hearing distance, nonsmoking/anti-smoking students feel that despite the fact that this long-awaited “restricted tobacco use” regulation has finally been instituted, it remains unenforced by campus security.

Opinion
Smoking ban needs to be enforced for others’ health
September 24Editor, 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.
