by Jennifer Onuska ASUNM President and Amy Cook and Kevin Stevenson ASUNM Senators No tests, no new material and no assignments the week before finals. Wouldn't that be nice? Well, that's how it would be with ASUNM's proposed Prep Week.
Editor, I thought that the Daily Lobo was an "independent student newspaper." I have noticed that you seem to print a large number of non-student letters. Why is that? Is it that the letters sent to you by students don't line up with your ideological position and as such are not worth printing? Or is it that the students have just given up on the Daily Liberal and don't write letters? I find the Opinion section of the Daily Liberal to be a real let down.
by Scott Darnell Daily Lobo Columnist The following are certain areas of political/social life where members of a minority group are not only being protected by the federal government, but also aided by government or independent agencies in such a way that minority "protection" is causing harm or intense unfairness to the area's majority group.
Editor, I have been seeing many letters complaining about different aspects of the war in Iraq. While I feel that this is a very important issue for everyone, I would like to shed some light on a problem that has been plaguing our country for some years now.
Attention all lovers of mass destruction! In celebration of America's awesome power to blow things to smithereens with little to no remorse, the White Sands Missile Range will open the pearly gates of Ground Zero to the public on Saturday, April 5 from 8 a.
Editor, We are now going through perhaps the saddest period in our nation's history since the Civil War. The Bush administration has plunged the United States into an unjust, unmotivated and unnecessary war that has divided our country. The law-of-the-jungle rush to war has deeply offended those of us who believe that the highest priority for the United States is to live up to the principles on which this country rests: individual liberty, collective democracy and respect for the law and the views of others.
Editor, President Bush tells us there is no democracy in Iraq. It is ruled by a government with little regard for civil liberties. Dissidents are watched, harassed and arrested without warrants or trials. Their privacy can be violated at any moment, their homes can be secretly searched, their phone conversations and correspondences monitored by the police.
by Richard "Bugman" Fagerlund Daily Lobo Columnist Hi. My name is Myra and I am a prairie dog. I live in one of the isolated prairie dog villages in Albuquerque. For some reason, many members of your species seem to hate mine. I think it is probably because they don't understand us.
by Jennifer Onuska ASUNM President This brief column is to inform students about an up-coming situation that will affect many students. The parking structure on campus near the residence halls will soon be UNM Hospital Parking only. That's right, the hospital will be taking over the parking structure to build a pavilion.
by J.R. McKinney Daily Lobo Guest Columnist I recall a much younger and more idealistic Bill Clinton than we see today. When he ran against Pat Buchanan and Bush Sr., his platform enticed many of us with the promise of universal healthcare and, oh yes, protecting our industries from cheap imported goods by way of his opposition to NAFTA.
Editor, Jonathan's Kahn's letter on March 31 about protesters shows that students are paying attention to both supporters of war and peace, and that fact in itself is heartening. However, his pointing fingers at one group of individuals needs response.
by Heather R. Gabel ASUNM Vice President and Charlene Sevilla ASUNM Senator I would like to start this column by reminding all members of the undergraduate student body that the ASUNM Elections Packets are due in the ASUNM Office in the Student Services Center, Room 262, by 5 p.
Editor, In my three long years of college I’ve been to my fair share of parties, of which a fair share have been broken up by the cops. All of my police encounters involved with parties have been business as usual, until about 15 minutes ago. I was at a party at a good friend of mine’s house, which was incidentally broken up by the cops.
Editor, Seeing protesters by the UNM Bookstore night after night is annoying, but I respect their right to voice their opinions. Seeing the “Skinheads For the USA” on March 26 was surprising, but I applaud their support of our troops. Seeing only the skinheads on March 27, however, was just plain shocking.
On Thursday, March 27, there was a health fair in front of Zimmerman Library. Amidst tables offering massages and fruit smoothies was a table promoting support of the U.S. war against Iraq. War is an outrageous contradiction of health.
