Editor, I enjoy living simply and healthily at much less than half the U.S. poverty level for a single person. I lived well for all of 2007 on $3,542 for my total expenses - rent, food, etc. I have no right to more than I need while others in this world have less than they need.
Editor, This is a response to the column "Barack Obama: the bad man" by Benjamin Sanchez from Wednesday's Daily Lobo. I realize Sanchez's main point that he is trying to get across as far as Obama having a weak character for being in association with some individuals.
Dear Dr. Peg, I don't feel well. What is the best way to access Student Health and Counseling? Do I need an appointment? Should I come in or call? Can I get help online? You can call for an appointment, come in and make an appointment or come in and be seen the same day.
Editor, I read the Oct. 13 article "Town hall to address plans for Student Services" in the Daily Lobo and was troubled by its implications. First, President David Schmidly assured us (in the dehumanized parlance of neoliberalism) that moving vital services to the Lockheed Martin building off campus would "improve customer service.
Editor, While it is important to publicize new fertility resources in nearby Colorado, it is equally important to inform our community that they can receive similar reproductive treatments such as in vitro fertilization here in Albuquerque. The Google search for "New Mexico IVF" reveals that the Center for Reproductive Medicine of New Mexico is an IVF group in Albuquerque.
The good man desires the same thing with all his soul. This brief but profound sentence sums up Aristotle's teaching on the good man. We can understand this sentence by starting with Aristotle's examination of the bad or weak man. He struggles with doing what is right and often does what he knows to be bad.
As an instructor for Philosophy 156: Reasoning and Critical Thinking, election seasons are both exciting teaching opportunities and depressing referendums on the basic rationale of the American public. I couldn't ask for better textbook examples of fallacies than those found in our political discourse.
Editor, Stephen Dinkel is wrong in saying Barack Obama is not for America. The conservative values of fiscal responsibility, national defense and moral values are not represented by the Republicans. America needs Obama; conservatives and their values need Obama.
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.
