Editor, I beg every reader to take a minute and imagine how the violence and hostilities in Iraq might feel in the heart of an international student at UNM. Contrary to accepted prejudice, not all of them are terrorists. Indeed, what I have witnessed from them during 25 years is fascination and relief at finally living in such a free society.
by Scott Darnell Daily Lobo Columnist Watchdog groups in America find fights to fight solely for the purpose of gaining wealth or notoriety; they often blow issues out of proportion and lose sight of their well-intended purposes due to their hysteric over-sensationalism of actions or events.
Editor, The following is a copy of what I sent to New Mexico congressional officials Wednesday, March 12. New Mexico Congressional Officials: I would like to express my disgust to you regarding the recent official name change of french fries and French toast to "freedom" fries and "freedom" toast, in three federal House office buildings, spearheaded by two Republican lawmakers.
Staff Editorial University Daily Kansan (U. Kansas) (U-WIRE) LAWRENCE, Kan. -- It's not a mystery why 21-year-old Toni Smith has come under criticism. Smith, a women's basketball player for Division III Manhattanville College, turns away from the American flag during the "Star-Spangled Banner" before each of her team's games.
by Richard M. Berthold Daily Lobo Columnist The New Mexico State Legislature is confirming a suspicion I have entertained for 30 years: its only serious interest in the University of New Mexico is that it provide winning football and, especially, basketball teams.
Knight Ridder-Tribune The Dallas Morning News Women have been called the canaries in a coal mine. How they are treated is a good indication of how toxic a society is. Think Afghanistan. Think how women’s repression, economic stagnation and terrorism are linked in countries around the world.
The Daily Lobo recently pub-lished letters outlining the connec-tion between Marxist movements and the anti-war movement. Their letters only scratched the surface of the threat to our rights and liberties these pseudo-Marxist anti-freedom groups represent.

Editor, Steve Chavez's guest column "Many peace groups corrupt," in the March 11 Lobo used an e-mail reply from me without my permission to support a ridiculous misnomer to classify the New Mexico Solidarity Network as somehow attached to the Communist Party.
Editor, I love this country and every decent citizen in it with all my heart. Especially the brave men and women who have sworn to protect it. They are burdened with a very hard and necessary job and for that I admire and thank them. Unfortunately, somewhere in the sea of rhetoric, somebody has come up with the idea if you're against impending war with Iraq; you're against the people who will be fighting the war.
Editor, Your coverage of the student anti-war demonstrations was awful. There are several inaccuracies and misrepresentations, which need to be addressed. First, the title of the main article, “Pro-Bush, Anti-War Protesters Face Off,” misrepresents both the content of the story and the nature of the protest.
by Michele Decamp Technician (North Carolina State U.) (U-WIRE) RALEIGH, N.C. — I am sure at least a few people who will read this column had parents who attended North Carolina State University during their youth. Those students are considered legacy students because they are continuing their family’s proud tradition of attending NCSU.
Editor, I do not intend to cover the topic of war. That is not the purpose of this letter. I intend only to discuss the protest on Wednesday. I am glad people protested on Wednesday because that gave the student body the opportunity to see what war protestors actually do.
Editor, I am a liberal. I support many liberal ideas and concepts, though it is becoming increasingly difficult to be taken seriously because of ignorant displays such as some of the events that took place at the recent anti-war protest. Although there were many people and speakers that were well informed, there were also many students, or possibly non-students, that were sitting in little groups smoking pot.
