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 ...
Can we not hear more about the UNM Hockey Club? They just tied the 3rd ranked team in the nation on Friday night, and spanked the 7th ranked team in the nation on Saturday.....By the way, their record is better than the football team (11-4-1)!! I know that part of my tuition pays for this paper so ...
Justin Conley seems to be practicing twisted logic , but why? He states: "Accusations of censorship on the right ... are not entirely accurate." When were "accusations" ever intended to be "accurate"? Now, conclusions drawn from a comprehensive body of facts might be used to reach "accurate" conclusions, ...
Editor New Mexico Rep. Heather Wilson says that A House investigation into intelligence failures leading up to the war in Iraq would be a distraction? How much money has Heather Wilson recieved from Tom Delay, Jack Abramoff, and AIPAC (The American Israeli Public Affairs Committee)? Why were AIPAC ...
Discrimination at UNM Discrimination can take many different forms, but there is no question every form is damaging. Especially when a Public University is perpetrating it. I am amazed at the level of incompetence in the administration of UNM's Nursing program, and the lack of oversight by UNM's ...
Editor, I am writing in response to a letter that appeared in Monday's Daily Lobo. Ben Mills claimed the media is biased, since it has not reported the positive influences from the invasion of Iraq, such as schools being built and policemen being trained.
Editor Ben Mills 2 year old DOD talking points still don't excuse the lies the US Government and its Corporate Media are still telling us about the New Iraq. Iraq is a T-H-E-O-C-R-A-C-Y, not a D-E-M-O-C-R-A-C-Y. This so called War on Terror seems a lot more like a War on Freedom. The naive Peace ...
Your social security number is essentially your identity. Identity-theft has climbed over the past years causing an outbreak of stringent precautions on behalf of credit card companies, banks, and individuals. Why is it then that UNM insists on using cocial secuity numbers as student ID numbers? The ...
Editor, I was just wondering when CIRT was planning on unblocking the Facebook website from UNM computers. The Facebook connects people through social networks at schools and is a great communication device for college students. When CIRT initially blocked the Facebook a few MONTHS ago, they ...
Editor, I read an article in Friday's issue entitled U.S, Terrorism not covered by mainstream media that accused the armed forces of being, "a terrorist organization commanded by the world's No. 1 terrorist, George Bush." I am often shocked by a person's willingness to shirk all responsibility and ...
Curve balls and Hatchet jobs on Governor Richardson in Baseball History Dear Editor: I thought I had witnessed the ultimate in newspaper hatchet jobs and curve balls in political journalism, but this latest "discovery" by the Albuquerque Journal that Bill Richardson was not drafted by Kansas City ...
Editor, Ben Mills' use of 2-year-old Defense Department talking points in his letter in Monday's Daily Lobo still doesn't excuse the lies the United States government and its corporate media are still telling us about "the New Iraq." Iraq is a theocracy, not a democracy.
Up to now, I haven't paid much attention to the worries expressed by some fundamentalist Christians about alleged efforts by "secular humanists" to "de-Christianize" the United States. Frankly, these assertions seemed a little too far "out there" for me. However, following the rash of recent news reports ...
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 limits ...
This is 262-word letter to the editor I strongly support the Governor's plans to "expel junk food for a health new year "in New Mexico schools! When I first pitched this idea to legislators in 1999 in the context of creating the New Mexico Nutrition Council with express powers to reject harmful food ...
In response to Tylor Nelson's letter on 11/22: Technically the framers made sure the people weren't responsible for electing the Executive. That's why we have the Electoral College; people like us clearly can't make the right decision. If we did choose our President based on a popular election we ...
Editor, For those UNM staff who have not had to use their new UnitedHealthcare plan, count your blessings and read your plan before you are as shocked as the rest of us who have. UnitedHealthcare plan holders must use UNM Hospital in order to qualify for the least expensive co-pay.
