October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, and its goal is to increase awareness about cyber security issues and engage users in implementing additional security measures to protect their computers. You could say the goal of this monthly column is the same: to increase awareness and help the UNM community better secure its information.
Editor, It's that time of year again when America celebrates its origins with the recognition of Columbus Day, and if you grew up in the mainstream, you probably don't think twice about it. But if you grew up as an American Indian, you do, especially if you know your history.
Editor, The Daily Lobo published an article on Oct. 7 regarding students, voter registration and the provisional balloting process in Bernalillo County and throughout the state. Unfortunately, the article cited some inaccurate information from a person who is not related to the election process in Bernalillo County.
As I have said before, the heart of the University is faculty and students, and all else is simply support - or in the case of the central administration, a very expensive illusion of support. In turn, the heart of that support and the physical center of the University is the library, for which reason I once got into trouble for mercilessly pillorying a former library dean who felt books should be put in storage in order to make room for more offices and meeting rooms.
Editor, With regard to Donald Gluck's letter, I take exception to not only his statements but to the overall sophomoric tone he chose to adopt. I feel his entire letter is indicative of the generally ailing and geriatric policies of the Republican Party. As one of B.
Editor, On Monday, it was conference day, and I was running late. I was racing to meet my creative writing teacher. To make the students comfortable and at ease, she was holding conferences at the SUB. I raced across the quad, ran up the steps, and the uniform shouted, "You can't go in there.
Editor, I believe that the school should change the name of the newspaper. It has become increasingly prominent of the Democratic bias in every article in the paper, excluding the sports page. The new name for the paper should be the Daily Liberal. It is actually funny how the paper has tried to change the opinion of many students through persuasion and through very biased articles.
Editor, Yesterday was the last day to register to vote. Many students have chosen to register. About 600 registered yesterday. I say hooray to all those brave souls stepping courageously into the political arena in this election. This letter is addressed to the other group of UNM students - the ones who, for whatever political reason, have chosen not to register over the last three months since organizations have been on campus.
Editor, After reading the article written about the Sigma Chi party, I was upset to hear your newspaper failed to mention the other events that occurred that weekend. First, I will mention that I was an attendee at that party. I know the boys who had that party, and it was never intended to be a Sigma Chi event.
Dear Dr. Peg: If your usual body temperature is below the normal 98.6 degrees, do you experience a fever at lower temperatures than normal as well? - Mr. Cool Dear Mr. Cool, As you clearly realize, normal body temperature can differ from person to person. The textbook figure of 98.
Editor, Thanks to the Gideons for giving out free literature last Wednesday. I read the New Testament for the first time last year after the same group came out. I had the pleasure of speaking to one of the men Wednesday. Our brief conversation has compelled me to share some observations.
Editor, President Bush presided over the worst foreign attack on American soil in U.S. history on Sept. 11, 2001. After ignoring intelligence warnings, Bush then made the worst strategic mistake in U.S. history by occupying Iraq. Bush then presided over the worst natural disaster in U.
Editor, Why are politicians sounding alarm bells as Wall Street goes down in flames? It's simple: Our economy is three-quarters goods and services. When people don't have disposable income or access to credit, three-quarters of our gross domestic produce will slide.
Editor, Former Republican presidential nominee Mike Huckabee made an interesting analogy about Wall Street: He called it "Las Vegas East" and said the only difference is there's nobody to bail out a Vegas gambler, but the federal government now has to bail out Wall Street gamblers.
Editor, In previous letters, I've expressed my concern for our highly leveraged economy. The current situation has underscored my reasoning. As I have struggled to understand how things got this way, it makes me simply want to hug my kids and say, "I'm sorry.
