Staff Editorial The Crimson White (U. Alabama) (U-WIRE) TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — With the invasion of Iraq seemingly inevitable, an important question is what happens when the fight is over?

by Holly Wray The Maneater (U. Missouri) 03/21/2003 (U-WIRE) ALICANTE, Spain -- I've never been proud to be an American. But this is the first time I've ever consciously tried to hide my nationality.

To the UNM community: As historic events unfold in Iraq and around the world, the University of New Mexico community will strive to deal constructively with the breadth, depth and consequences of recent and breaking developments. As individuals within the UNM community -- students, faculty, staff -- each of us will deal with our own feelings about the situation.
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.

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.

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.
