Editor, The Daily Lobo article last week on UNM challenging water fines was rather enlightening. On the contrary to what the Director of the Physical Plant says, I have noticed frequent water waste on this campus since I began working here, not just "on occasion" as she claims. One need only walk along ...
Dane Roberts speaks of "the impossibility of standardizing our public schools" and believes "the state shouldn't assume the task of defining how or what each kid should learn." Roberts imagines an ideal world in which "principals could choose teachers who match their educational beliefs. And teachers ...
Louis Caldera who? The name sounds familiar, but I definitely wouldn't recognize him if I saw him on campus. Maybe if he had an entourage of administrative officials and honored guests I could deductively guess who the man in the suit is. As long as I have attended this campus, almost three ...
Dear Editor, I would like to bring up a flaw with our parking regulations. Why is it that we are required to supply the make, model, color, and licence plate of our vehicles to the parking department in order to get a parking permit, and they only use that information to bill us when we are in violation ...
Editor, I was in the Frontier for breakfast and picked up the Lobo an Alumni of UNM. I was appalled by the indifference ,ignorance and lack of respect to members of our community and sacred lands. The destruction and assault on the Petroglyph National Mounument is testimony to the moral bankruptsy ...
Vandalism is a severe problem here on the UNM campus. The worst of it is in the men's bathroom in Mitchell Hall. Also, when I use the restroom at CSEL, I always see a written conversation on one of the bathroom stalls. Why can't some people keep their opinions to themselves? If these people want to ...
The infamous remarks of Air Force football coach Fisher DeBerry are obviously stereotypical and not based on fact. However, in her delayed reaction to his comments, Michelle Touson revealed some personal stereotypes that are equally unacceptable. In the quoted text of coach DeBerry, he at no point ...
There once was a Day! There once was a special day people called Christmas. December 25 was chosen in 336 AD so that Christians could celebrate the birth of a special little boy. They chose this day because it was also the day of Saturnalia (a pagan holiday). Why this day? There are many guesses, ...
John Bear comes off like a whining fool in his editorial on the iPod jacket. After wasting the first column of his article talking about how hard it was to get the jacket to work (the only part of the article that was actually relevant, by the way), he proceeds to waste the second column of his article ...
"Hey, did you get the memo about teaching in the spring?" "No, what'd it say?" "Well, the good news is that there are plenty of open positions for us. With the tough new English 102 curriculum, there are going to be a lot more students having to repeat the class in the spring. On top of that, of ...
This letter is addressed to the American Mainstream Media, the US Congress, and the Bush Administration.We address this to you. The three of you who now are engaged in a political blame game and shuffle regarding the war in Iraq, and more importantly how we got there. Many of us blame all three of ...
In regards to Cali Garcia's letter about "politically incorrect" holidays, I just think that this is one of the most foolish, insensitive articles that I've ever read on the Daily Lobo. She must hate freedom because of her strong opposition to celebrating Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. What's so "politically ...
Editor If 65% of Daily Lobo readers believe the Commander In Chief of the US Armed Forces lied to start a war, I hope they have the courage to stand up and do something about it. For over a week I have been following the report that US Forces used Chemical Weapons against Iraqis in last years territorial ...
To whomever it may concern, In Monday's article about the march for the petroglyphs, my opinion was placed in half of the article and it sounded as if I was leading the show. I would just like to note that it was 10 people including myself from the native student organizations KIVA CLUB, NASIRG, and ...
Your internet poll concerning Karl Rove and Scooter Libby is horribly biased. All of the questions imply that there was wrong-doing on the part of each man, and that it had to do with leaking the identity of a CIA operative. According to the special prosecutor, Rove and Libby have done nothing to ...
Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the letter by Shafeek Kubha titled "Arafat's peace-keeping endeavors overlooked.' It is hard for me to comprehend the use of words such as 'a freedom fighter, a liberator, and a man of integrity' to describe a man such as Yasser Arafat. Here are several examples ...
Dear Editor, Warm Greetings from the City of Smiles: Bacolod City, Negros Island, Philippines! Yours truly, Jose "Joey" Solinap, 1980 Anderson School BBA alumni here, alive and kicking- trying to make a difference by helping out in any which way I can in family, business, community and society as ...
People have celebrated a mid-winter festival since ancient times. They marked the beginning of longer hours of daylight with fires and ritual offerings. The Roman festival of Saturnalia -- a time for feasting and gambling -- lasted for weeks in December. Germanic tribes of Northern Europe also celebrated ...
