by Larry Morris Daily Lobo Columnist Paul Tillich said that ours is the age of anxiety. Indeed, many of us live in a world of worry. In the Yoga tradition they say that the child is busy with play, the youth is busy with pleasure, the adult is busy with worry.
by Heather R. Gabel ASUNM Vice President As I sit here and ponder what I should write for my final Daily Lobo column as ASUNM vice president I think of what a great year it has been. When I ran last year, I wanted to increase communication around ASUNM and get the Senate motivated to hit the ground running without taking any steps back.
Doctors are not God. Nor should they ever be perceived in such way by the patient, the doctor or the public. Medical science is exactly that - science. Yet the world has allowed itself to create the persona of the almighty doctor, giving those professionals the right to play God, allowing these men and women the decision to take or give life.
by Jia Lynn Yang Harvard Crimson (Harvard U.) (U-WIRE) CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - When Yale sophomore and anti-war activist Katherine Lo hung an American flag upside-down from her window, she must have known that her actions would be somewhat incendiary.
Editor, As a former student of Chris Enke, I feel it's ludicrous that he receives an award for excellence in higher education of analytical chemistry. I'd say that Enke had an attendance rate of roughly 65 percent when I took chemistry 253, a.k.a. quantitative analysis.
by Scot Darnell Daily Lobo Columnist The words, "That shitty little country, Israel" were spoken by the French Ambassador to England in December 2001. The words, "Don't you see the resemblance between Sharon, Hitler and Milosevic? Don't you see a parallel between Nazism and Zionism?" were printed in a Saudi Arabian newspaper in April 2002.
I feel safe. I feel really, really safe. In fact, I feel so safe that the thought of walking down the street at night makes me shudder because I'm leaving myself open to attack or rape. I feel so safe that every time I open the newspaper, I'm reading about children killing adults.
Anecdotes about pride are plentiful. In the Book of Proverbs, the Bible tells us that, "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Founding forefather Thomas Jefferson said, "Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold." And, perhaps most pertinent, American Clergyman Fulton John Sheen said, "Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.
by Harry P. Norton Daily Lobo Guest Columnist In the early part of April 2003, UNM Department of Human Resources posted on its Web site the "2003 Staff Salary Structure" table and "Job Title Upgrades." This is the result of a market study conducted by HR to place UNM staff salaries in a "more competitive market position," starting July 1, 2003.
by Linda Lewis Daily Lobo Guest Columnist The first electronic resources the library offered were indexes, followed by databases that included complete periodical articles. Finally electronic cover-to-cover journals became available. Now we have electronic books (e-books) that can be read on any computer and do not require special equipment.
Editor, I'd like to comment on the situation of the UNM student "losing" his puppy at the Duck Pond (Monday, April 4). We have had several complaints from people regarding loose dogs on campus and around the Duck Pond. While the campus police officer's attitude and approach may not have been the best, I must say I'm glad to learn they are taking stray (off-leash) dogs seriously.
by Richard M. Berthold Daily Lobo Columnist The truth shall set you free. Well, perhaps if you are living in some unpleasant place under a seriously repressive government. For most Americans who live in a very pleasant place under an increasingly repressive government, a far more likely proposition is that the trth shall make you uncomfortable.
Editor, I would like to take a moment to thank everyone involved in the haiku-a-tree project, which ran last week, April 14-18, in celebration of National Poetry Month. Susan Corban of the Student Activities Center; Gary Smith, Environmental Services and Carol Vollbrecht, PPD Special Activities.
Former U.S. Sen. Gary Hart's visit goes to the heart, pardon the pun, of the Democratic Party's continued lack of power and the entire political system in general. The Democrats lack a strong figure to lead it back into either a majority or into the White House.
Editor, I just wanted to voice my opinion concerning your review of Rob Zombie's, "House of 1000 Corpses." I was outraged by your 1.5-star rating. What the hell did you expect - a freaking chick flick? Seriously, Zombie followed the film noir style of all classic horror flicks.
by Richard Schaefer UNM Communication and Journalism Associate Professor BEIJING, China - Beijing is waiting for the other shoe to drop. One student on our campus was diagnosed with SARS this afternoon. Everyone knows he won't be the last. So, at times, the fear is palpable.

by Richard "Bugman" Fagerlund Daily Lobo Columnist Dogfighting is alive and well in New Mexico. Most fights are staged in the South Valley and in some of our smaller communities. I have received letters from people in Los Lunas and Belen who have told me dog fighting goes on in their neighborhoods.
