Editor, Everyone is on Myspace.com these days. I remember when it first started getting popular here. I tried it, and after about a year and a half of drama, reading about other people's sex lives and pointless chain mail about a little boy named Teddy who's going to kill you, I had enough. I was ...
Editor, The Muslim and Western hate-mongers are engaged in a spitting match, and I am having trouble deciding which side is more foolish. The Muslim hate-mongers claim that their faith in a twisted version of Islam entitles them to hurt and insult innocent people, while the hate-mongers of the West ...
Editor, I'm concerned about the recent letters that have been published in the Daily Lobo with regards to smoking on campus and the dangers of second-hand smoke. As a social smoker, I'm tired of being labeled as a bad person because of my choice to smoke. I completely understand and agree with ...
Editor, I came to UNM last August as a visiting scholar to the Department of Linguistics, and as a Chinese national, I am very glad to learn from Friday's Daily Lobo that 12 UNM students will go to Beijing to participate in the World Model United Nations Conference. But the Daily Lobo also reported ...
Editor, In response to the letters to the editor in last week's Daily Lobo regarding "slaves to tobacco," I believe it is important for smokers to stand their ground when it comes to this sensitive issue. First, let's clarify one single fact: There are two types of students at UNM - smokers and ...
Editor, In the article "Petitioning book prices," your reporter, Christopher Sanchez, described the New Mexico Public Interest Research Group as a nonpartisan organization. This is a stupid and dangerous characterization. If one were to go to NMPIRG's Web site, one would find that they are actively ...
Editor, One of Michelle Touson's graduate classes must not have been the study of logic. With 10 million other things to focus her eyes and her mind on, she has chosen to take notice of her color and the color of others in her class. That action sounds to me like the beginning of the limiting logic ...
Editor, I have to agree with Kristen Woodruff's letter in Thursday's Daily Lobo about UNM's extremely lenient smoking policy. Thousands and thousands of nonsmokers have and die of lung cancer every year. Dana Reeve, Christopher Reeve's widow and a life-long nonsmoker, currently has smoker's lung ...
Editor, This is in response to Kristen Woodruff's letter from Thursday's edition of the Daily Lobo. Let me begin by saying that while she has a good point, she has chosen to articulate this opinion in a forceful way. This is why I have chosen to write this letter. As a tobacco slave, it is painful ...
Editor, OK, I'll say it - there is a sonic stink bomb at UNM every day around lunch hour. Has anyone noticed that no one sits or hangs out in front of Popejoy anymore? There's only one person sitting there every day - the sonic stink bomb, the Hare Krishna. From the south doors of the SUB to the ...
Editor, We are a little offended with the lack of interest shown in UNM tennis teams. The past two weekends, both men's and women's teams have had major events that have not been reported in the Daily Lobo. The women's tennis team had an upset victory over the 27-ranked team in the nation - the ...
Editor, Two weeks ago, peace activist Daniel Burns was sentenced to six months in prison for protesting the American violation of international law with the illegal war of aggression against Iraq. He is one of four war protesters, known as the Saint Patrick's Four, who poured their blood inside a military ...
by Samara Alpern Daily Lobo columnist People just aren't as romantic as they used to be. Back in the day, men concocted all kinds of aphrodisiacal rituals and potions to elicit love from women. In North Africa, for example, a man would secretly enrich a beverage for his love interest with semen ...
Editor, As a firm tobacco adversary and a member of the on-campus coalition against tobacco, EXPOSE, it is painful to watch the countless number of students, staff and faculty at UNM who are slaves to the little drug called tobacco. What is even more painful, though, is seeing those who do not partake ...
Editor, I just read Sen. John Grubesic's proposal to memorialize cockfighting as the official disgrace of New Mexico. Talk about a slap in the face. Not only are the claims inaccurate, they are verbatim of those from the out-of-state special interest groups that have been coming to New Mexico for ...
Editor, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' testimony this morning made one thing perfectly clear: President Bush believes that he need not gain permission from the federal judiciary or Legislature before labeling anyone in the world a target of his so-called War on Terrorism. He has said publicly ...
Editor, Thank you, Richard "Bugman" Fagerlund, for the wonderful reminder in Tuesday's Daily Lobo of why we should all avoid the "gravest show on Earth" - the circus. The circus is a barbaric ritual no more civilized than the mass slaughter of animals and humans in the Coliseum in ancient Rome. If ...
