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.
The recent article by Colin Donoghue places accusations of censorship on the right which are not entirely accurate. Anyone that believes the left has no voice need only look at this very paper to realize that this is false. And if one is to consider 'neo-cons' to be leftists, as I do, then it becomes ...
W. Christopher Epler 505 256 0046 UNM Staff Language: Friend or Foe? ********************************************************************** The Bush Presidency should be giving us some second thoughts about the deep function of language. Specifically, is language the means whereby we ...
Editor, I write to respond to some hasty comments by Tylor Nelson. Certainly people "[blaming] someone else for their actions" is both common and base, yet Mr. Nelson immediately contradicts himself and compounds his mistake by making personal attacks in his argument. In the same sentencein ...

Editor If US Forces in Iraq are fighting for our freedom, why have protests been banned outside of the President's ranch? If the Pentagon says that White Phosphorous isn't a chemical WMD, why did they say White Phosphorous was a Chemical WMD when Saddam used it? If the White House says that allegations ...
Editor, This is in response to Ben Mills' column in Monday's Daily Lobo, "Mass media not covering positive changes in Iraq." Although I applaud his efforts to share some positive changes in Iraq, I might question the validity of some of the statistics found on the Department of Defense web site as examples ...

Editor While everyone is arguing about whether Bush lied about WMD to start a war in Iraq, no one seems to be arguing about Bush using WMD in Iraq. It has taken over a week, but the Albuquerque Journal ran a heavily censored story today about US Forces using WMD in last years attack on Fallujah. How ...
Have you ever had your bicycle stolen? If not, you might. A 1994 study of bicycle theft on college campuses in the U.S. conducted by Integrated Cycle Systems found that a four-year college student has a 53% chance of having his or her bike stolen. Twenty percent of the stolen bicycles were recovered ...
Editor, This is in response to Ben Mills' letter in Monday's Daily Lobo, "Mass media not covering positive changes in Iraq." Although I applaud his efforts to share some positive changes in Iraq, I might question the validity of some of the statistics found on the Department of Defense Web site as examples of progressive United States policy and influence.
Editor, For New Mexico's District 1 Representative, Republican Heather Wilson, to continue to defend the case for the invasion of Iraq tells one where her priorities and loyalties lie - with the Republican Party. As we all know, we were specifi cally told that the justifi cation for unilaterally invading Iraq was that Iraq had massive amounts of weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein had direct ties to the al Qaeda terrorist organization.
Editor, I'm a utility plant tech for Ford Utilities on campus. I'm also onequarter American Indian - specifi cally, Isleta Pueblo. I read the Daily Lobo almost every day, and while fl ipping through the Nov. 23 issue, I came across the section where the Daily Lobo asks people a question, then records their responses with a picture of them next to it.
Editor, In regard to Cali Garcia's letter in Monday's newspaper about politically incorrect holidays: I think this is one of the most foolish, insensitive letters I've ever read in the Daily Lobo. He must hate freedom because of his strong opposition to celebrating Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Editor, Louis Caldera who? The name sounds familiar, but I defi nitely wouldn't recognize him if I saw him on campus. Maybe if he had an entourage of administrative offi cials and honored guests, I could deductively guess who the man in the suit is.
Editor, In last Monday's article in the Daily Lobo 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 such as the Kiva Club, Native American Studies Indigenous Research Group and American Indian Business Association.
