Staff Editorial The Greyhound (Loyola College-Maryland) (U-WIRE) BALTIMORE - As expected, the United States has opened what government officials say is the next phase in the war on terrorism, Operation Iraqi Freedom. Friday's so-called "shock and awe" campaign has most conspicuously reminded us of what war really means.
Editor, People around the world continue to question the war in Iraq. Those for and against the war have made sensible, credible arguments supporting their causes. Some of the strongest arguments that come to mind against the war are: inspections would have worked if given enough time, the costs of the war are tremendous, we shouldn't be risking the lives of others for oil and money.
by Scott Darnell Daily Lobo Columnist When war broke out in Iraq, there was talk that the Oscars would be postponed in an effort to ensure that needed public attention wasn't stripped from vital coverage of the war. The talk amounted to nothing however, and the Oscars were aired last Sunday night; unfortunately, our brightest and best actors and actresses, the people we turn to on a daily basis to make us laugh, scream, or cry used the annual fest as a political forum for which they could denigrate President Bush and U.
Editor, On March 23 in Afghanistan, Air Force 1 Lt. Tamara Long Archuleta died in a helicopter crash along with five airmen. She was an HH-60 PaveHawk pilot stationed at Moody AFB, GA, deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom. Tamara was a UNM and AFROTC '99 grad.
As the tension surrounding the war in Iraq heightens, the United States continues to look for new resolutions for the arenaceous Persian Gulf chokehold. And it should come as no surprise that new avenues of tactical warfare are currently being employed. However, it takes a strange mind to turn a lackadaisical stroll through the zoo into a scouting mission for new military recruits.
by Jonathan Shazar Daily Pennsylvanian (U. Pennsylvania) (U-WIRE) PHILADELPHIA - Television journalists give their viewers all sorts of reasons to cringe on a daily basis. So now that they're on the air 24 hours a day, it should surprise no one that they would embarrass themselves proportionally more often.
Staff Editorial Daily Texan (U. Texas-Austin) (U-WIRE) AUSTIN, Texas - On Sunday, President Bush told reporters that he had prayed "for God's comfort and God's healing powers to anybody - coalition force, American, Brit - anybody who loses a life in this, in our efforts to make the world more peaceful and free.
(U-WIRE) NORMAN, Okla. - What do you know about the Domestic Enhancement and Security Act? This proposed legislation, nicknamed Patriot Act Two, would give more power to federal officials in the war against terror.
by Robert Carey Massachusetts Daily Collegian (U. Massachusetts-Amherst) (U-WIRE) AMHERST, Mass. -- For the Romans, nothing was more entertaining than the games. The bloodier the better. They were enthralled by the mayhem of the gladiatorial arena.
by Katy Noone Massachusetts Daily Collegian (U. Massachusetts-Amherst) (U-WIRE) AMHERST, Mass. -- It may come as no surprise to most of us that the extensive media coverage of the past few days has consisted mostly of dramatic, emotional images, often lacking in-depth coverage of historical relevance and political importance.
by Richard "Bugman" Fagerlund Daily Lobo Columnist The Physical Plant Department is in the process of re-seeding Johnson Field on the east side of Johnson Gym. One of the requirements mandated by a federal bureaucracy dictated that we do an environmental impact report on the area being re-seeded so we don't negatively impact any endangered species or archaeological sites.
Editor, For years now I have noticed a trend that the Daily Lobo practices. The trend is to print mainly negative stories about the Greek System. Yes, I have occasionally seen positive stories about the men and women in fraternities and sororities. I also understand that writing stories on community service, the high GPA of Greeks, or even campus involvement may be quite boring, but at least then a fair and true representation would show all aspects of Greek life.
Editor, A hearty congratulation is in order to the Lobos after their two victories in the NCAA tournament. Coach Flanagan and his staff have built a solid, well-respected program with many good student-athletes stepping up to contribute from both the past and present, too.
by Jen Kosakowski Daily Targum (Rutgers U.) (U-WIRE) NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — It has become increasingly obvious to me in recent weeks that there has been a surge in writings that vilify and invalidate the anti-war activist. There has never been much tolerance for dissent in this nation, but the proliferation and escalation of such rhetoric and its attempts to disengage anti-war activists should be questioned.
by Sean Misko Daily Collegian (Pennsylvania State U.) (U-WIRE) UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Far from the scripted “shock and awe” promised by military planners, the first official shots of the U.S.-led war with Iraq were brief and took many experts by surprise.
by Scott Wacholtz The Miami Hurricane (U. Miami) (U-WIRE) CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Over the last few months, actor Martin Sheen, who portrays the President of the United States on the NBC television program “The West Wing,” has appeared at a number of anti-war rallies and was the star of a TV commercial advertising the “virtual march on Washington” to protest a possible war.
