Editor, When I first came to the University as an undergraduate in 1992, one of the things that let me know I was in a very different part of the country were the vendors in front of the Student Union Building: the used book guy, the jewelry lady, the Tibetan folks and the lady with Guatemalan goodies.
Editor, Well, it's that time of year again. Time for bustling crowds in the malls, standing in long lines at the checkouts and shopping all day looking for that perfect gift.
Editor, I feel that outside vendors should be allowed to come back to UNM. The vendors we used to have were a wonderful part of UNM daily life and so much more educational.
by Dane Roberts Daily Lobo columnist National Security Notice: If you are serving in the United States Armed Forces in Iraq - or if you may be called up for future service in Iraq -- and have somehow stumbled across this article, stop reading immediately.
Editor, The column "Stealing sounds innocent when you call it 'file sharing'" by Joe Buffaloe, printed in the Daily Lobo last Thursday, is probably one of the most ignorant and misleading rants I have read.
Editor, In his letter in Thursday's Daily Lobo, Brian Fejer shows once again that he is long on rhetoric yet lacking in the due diligence department.
Editor, Phil Sitges' letter in last Friday's Daily Lobo compared the United States' efforts against terrorism to a bug zapper.

Editor, I am writing this letter to respond to Gregg Ozimek's letter defending his beloved liberal media and his ideas about American foreign policy.
Editor, The claim that the United States media are helplessly tilted toward a biased, critical left - blindly lashing out at the government in their fanatic wrath over self-inflicted political failures - displays utter or even deliberate ignorance of the dire straits in which this country is increasingly entangled.
Editor, I found Student Union Building director Walt Miller's comments in the Daily Lobo greatly troubling, and I suggest he clarify them.
Editor, What the liberal left and Green Party supporters need to understand about the war on terrorism can be summarized by the example of a bug zapper. You don't hang the bug zapper in the house so the bugs fly around the house before you kill them in the zapper.
Editor, There once was a special day that people called Christmas. Dec. 25 was chosen in the year 336 so that Christians could celebrate the birth of a special little boy.
Editor, Have you ever had your bicycle stolen? If not, you might. A 1994 study of bicycle theft on college campuses in the United States conducted by Integrated Cycle Systems found that a four-year college student has a 53 percent chance of having his or her bike stolen.
Editor, The Bush presidency should be giving us some second thoughts about the deep function of language. Specifically, is language the means whereby we communicate with each other, or is it the means whereby we lie to each other? This presidency has raised lying to a science.
Editor, Since submitting my letter in response to Colin Donoghue's column on media bias, I have seen three responses to that initial letter published in the Daily Lobo.ˇ My intent was to trigger a response and simply share some statistics reflecting positively on our soldier's efforts that may not be common knowledge.
