Editor, I am writing to request that whoever is in charge of the vendors that used to be on campus before all the construction work on the new parking structure, consider finding an alternative space for these people who bring cheer to many of us on campus.
by Scott Darnell Daily Lobo Columnist The term "feminazi" irrationally compares America's feminists to one of the most ruthless groups of people this world has ever seen. But, "feminactivist" is a term that better describes the intensity and voracity with which today's feminists operate, allowing for their control over entities such as the media to be more readily obvious.
OK - when's enough enough? Women are put through the wringer in this world to look like this perfect "image" that's constantly assaulting us at every street corner, every television screen, every magazine and every computer screen. Our mothers tell us that beauty is only skin deep.

Editor, Last week, two young men approached me and asked me if I am a friendly, non-violent person. They said they were doing a project for their communicationsclass and would only take a couple minutes out of my time to ask me some questions.

by Richard "Bugman" Fagerlund Daily Lobo Columnist Cockroaches are often thought to carry a lot of diseases. This is not true as cockroaches are actually very clean insects. Not only do they not carry diseases and are not a health threat, they are actually quite edible.
Editor, Last week, I read Scott Darnell's "Anti-Semitism alive today" in the Lobo and I realized how deep the cycle of violence cuts humanity. Let me start by saying that I respect that Darnell used a pen instead of a sword to express his beliefs about the severe problem of anti-Semitism.
