"New study reveals secondhand chatter may cause brain cancer." The preceding statement is just about as credible as believing you're going to get lung cancer by passing by a smoker in an outdoor environment.
I've recently noticed a discontented murmur interrupting the noise of screaming engines and car horns we've become accustomed to hearing on our roads.
I am writing with such sadness in my heart about the movie "United 93" that keeps accosting my TV screen and my radio with advertisements.
I just read the article "Group fights for smoke-free UNM" in Thursday's issue of the Daily Lobo and I must tell you, God may smile on us yet.
Yes, it is very true that the actions and behavior of a single individual can ruin the reputation of a fraternity chapter, but Betsabel Roman's finger-pointing in her letter in Wednesday's issue of the Daily Lobo was a little harsh.
UNM isn't the only New Mexican university to increase tuition - New Mexico State University, New Mexico Tech, Eastern New Mexico University and Western New Mexico University also increased their tuition rates. Even Albuquerque's Technical Vocational Institute raised tuition.
I am a little anxious - I despise secondhand smoke as much as the next student, but normally I'm the one creating it. If the University bans smoking across campus, I will have had it.
I have been quietly watching the back-and-forth arguments about smoking outside on campus for the last few weeks, and I have to say that the entire debate is missing an important element.
I think it's appalling that the University is doing away with the paper schedule of classes.
By only slightly changing the wording of David Holcberg's letter from Tuesday's issue of the Daily Lobo, a new reality emerges - amazing.
Betsabel Roman's letter in Wednesday's Daily Lobo about Sigma Chi as a whole would better have been reserved for the humor section.
School buildings covered in black graffiti and neon orange stickers shouting "CPE: Non!" were one of the first things I noticed about the University of Savoie, in Chambery, France, my host university for this spring semester.
There are many issues concerning UNM that need to be addressed, and the topic that concerns me the most is the dramatic increase of tuition each year.
It is an unfortunate truth that one member can tarnish the image of a whole chapter, but is it also true that chapters all over the nation can tarnish the image of the whole organization?
So UNM is going to pull more money out of students next year in an effort to further provide education for us to pursue our dreams. Brilliant.
I am writing in response to the recent decision to raise tuition 6.11 percent next year.
After years of propping up the Palestinian Authority, the United States government has finally suspended all financial aid to this terrorist regime.
