Editor, I am writing regarding the article "Group gets students to remember Sept. 11" that appeared in Monday's Daily Lobo. Bob Cornelius, chairman of the Reagan Freedom Society, said the lesson from the terrorist attacks was that America is "not immune to the deficiencies of the world.
Editor, Ann Coulter once said her only regret about Timothy McVeigh is that he didn't visit the New York Times building. Perhaps Dane Roberts agrees with her. In his column criticizing the paper for its "incredibly myopic and self-serving" blaming of the Bush administration for the response to Hurricane Katrina, his word choice is much more revelatory than his so-called forward-looking solutions.
Editor, I am writing in response to the article "Group gets students to remember Sept. 11" in Monday's Daily Lobo. The article is an excellent example of how Americans still have a lack of consensus about how that day should be remembered and how it has changed the world.
Editor, In Dane Roberts' column, "No one to blame for Katrina," he states that "liberals are filled with venom for the current administration but bereft of constructive ideas." The basis for this statement is that the only author at the New York Times that offered a constructive idea to ease poverty is their conservative op-ed writer David Brooks.
Editor, Words can hardly express my gratitude to the people at the University of New Mexico for extending such gracious hospitality to the students displaced by Hurricane Katrina. My daughter is a student from Tulane University and is now a student at the University of New Mexico.
Editor, I originally blew off the article "Shortcuts mean more maintenance" in the Daily Lobo several weeks ago as ridiculous because it didn't affect me, but now our beautiful path through the woods on the corner of University and Central is under attack.
Editor, One has to wonder how Michael Brown, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was able to keep his job for as long as he did after the atrocious handling of the situation in New Orleans. What bothers me is that he stepped down only after being asked to return to Washington.
by Colin Donoghue Daily Lobo columnist If you're reading this at UNM, you are about three miles from the largest stockpile of non-deployed nuclear weapons in the world at Kirtland Air Force Base. It's estimated the stockpile consists of more than 2,500 nuclear warheads.
Editor, I felt the need to write a letter after the story about Richard Berthold in Tuesday's Daily Lobo, which quoted me as saying "Whoever hires him back, I believe they are performing a treasonous act." I was not misquoted, but I misspoke. The point I was trying to get across is that Berthold's statement on Sept.
Editor, The Daily Lobo has been inundated with complaints about the parking shuttles. Students objected to long waits, cramped quarters and poor shuttle management. Several suggested dramatically improving the system. We have a different solution to the problem: Eliminate the shuttle.
Editor, To the hero who could have been: Despite the horrors of the recent hurricane and the debacle of the federal relief effort, the acts of individual Americans have been extraordinary. From the construction crew who brought boats down to New Orleans and spent days rescuing people to the hospital workers who stayed behind to keep the most vulnerable newborn babies alive, people from all walks of life have shown us how good we can be when called upon.

by Maceo Carillo-Martinet Daily Lobo columnist Hurricane Katrina brought its destruction in the form of fierce winds that tore open houses. It moved walls of water and weakened levees. This natural disaster is truly one of the worst to hit these shores.
Editor, We believe everyone should have free reign over his or her body. Piercings, tattoos or even drugs - these are personal choices and individual rights. Our motto has always been, "Your body, your choice." But when someone's actions directly infringe upon our personal health, we become quite irritated.
by Dane Roberts Daily Lobo columnist Let's say I landed in the United States two weeks ago, just as the tragic damage done by Hurricane Katrina was becoming apparent. Let's also say that I depended on America's newspaper of record, The New York Times, for all my news and opinion.
Editor, I am amazed at the ignorance Larry Crum displays in his letter to the editor, which states that gays who cannot donate blood are overreacting. I'm going to take this down point by point, and hopefully enlighten some heterosexuals in the process. First of all, blood that is collected is screened for HIV and other blood-borne diseases, regardless of what the donor claims as a risk level.
Editor, City Councilor Eric Griego was the only mayoral candidate who showed up to the debate last Thursday, which had been planned weeks in advance at UNM. The other three candidates, including current Mayor Martin Ch†vez, were too busy vying for the endorsement of the Albuquerque Police Officer's Association at an emergency meeting of the organization to follow through with the promise they had made to the UNM community.
Editor, I am writing in response to Antoinette Murphy's letter in Thursday's Daily Lobo. In it, she describes the New Orleans Jazz Funeral cartoon as disgraceful and disrespectful. I have never been to Louisiana, and I did not liken the picture to the orchestra on the Titanic.
