On Jan. 16, 2003, the Bush Administration announced that it would submit a brief in the Grutter v. Bollinger case against affirmative action. This case was granted a review by the U.S. Supreme Court last December and will be reviewed together with Michigan's undergraduate counterpart, Gratz v.
Editor, I am writing this letter because I have finally figured out what is wrong with many of the drivers on campus: no one cares. They don't care if they go the wrong way down a one-way street or parking lot (i.e. the streets by the old Sigma Chi house and the CRF parking lot near UNM Hospital.
Editor, It was heartening to read about all of the recent anti-war protests taking place throughout the country, including Albuquerque. I sincerely hope the protests continue in every city, town and village in the country until our president realizes war is not necessary.
Editor, Over the past two years, I've noticed a steady decline in the quality of the Daily Lobo (a.k.a. the "Low Blow"). In particular, I was offended by a sexually explicit photo found as part of an early-December issue article's content. The inclusion of this photo was unnecessary, juvenile sensationalism.
by Eric Howerton Daily Lobo Columnist Hello and welcome to your Frisbee Golf Tutorial. As one of the only Frisbee golf courses located in the metropolis of Albuquerque, the Roosevelt Park Resort offers some of the finest terrain imaginable. With more than seven different courses to choose from, Roosevelt Park Resort, on Coal Avenue, has certainly blossomed since the secure and family oriented setting it was not 10 years ago.
by Zack Denfeld Daily Orange (Syracuse U.) 01/17/2003 (U-WIRE) SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- "My printer roll at 600 dpi/ My scanner scans in the blink of an eye." Sound ridiculous? Maybe not. The Sept. 9 issue of Ad Age Magazine reports that "Island Def Jam Music Group is negotiating a deal with Hewlett-Packard to mention HP products in hip-hop lyrics.
New Year's Eve is my friend's birthday and it was the night Roberto Clemente disappeared forever. I found myself thinking about the link after the fact. Clemente, who is my favorite baseball player and the first Latino major leaguer to put Hispanics on the map in the MLB, was Puerto Rican.
Editor, Recently, there has been some strange construction of the J.R.R. Tolkien classic trilogy The Lord of the Rings as being racist and pro-war propaganda, with some trying to link the title of the second part of the story The Two Towers as being a comparison to the twin towers and the fact that the Orcs, the animal-like villains in service of the evil Sauron are dark complected, therefore the story is racist.
by Lucas Schaefer The Chronicle (Duke U.) 01/09/2003 (U-WIRE) DURHAM, N.C. -- "I don't know Tupac," I'd say. "Well, have you met him?" "Nope. I think he might be dead." "Tupac? No way. You really don't know him?" When I first came to study for the fall semester on the predominantly Muslim coast of Kenya, I had a feeling the Kenyans I'd encounter, particularly the teenagers and ones my age, would have lots of questions about America, just as I had lots about Kenya.
by Heather R. Gabel ASUNM Vice President I want to wish all of you luck on your finals this week and I hope that you will have a fun and safe winter holiday. And of course I want to wish the best of luck to our Lobo football team during the Sega Sports Las Vegas Bowl.
by Craig A. Butler Daily Lobo Columnist Last week, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled on the legitimacy of California's semiautomatic assault weapons ban. It upheld the ban, which was not a surprise. But Judge Stephen Reinhardt, well known to be one of the nation's most proactive liberal judges, also produced for the case a 70-page dissertation on the Second Amendment.
Editor, I appreciate your recent article and attention to the issue of pedestrian safety. I believe this is an important issue, both on main and north campus. As a staff member and student, I spend quite a bit of time walking on campus. I would like to point out two other crosswalks that I feel are dangerous for those of us on north campus.
Editor, I think that you are the worst editor that I have ever seen editing the Daily Lobo in my four years at UNM and many years reading it during high school. I do not want you to take this as a personal attack, rather as a constructive (hopefully) critique of your time as editor of our university newspaper.
Youth in Transition, a day shelter for homeless youth, has never been a stranger to hardship, and when the building was burned down on Thanksgiving, it only got worse. Youth in Transition lost all of its supplies, including food and winter clothes, and is presently in a state of emergency.
Editor, OK, so I've learned to live with opening the Lobo to find photos of women who've had overturned Tupperware Servin'Saver Bowls surgically inserted under the flesh of their ribcages. But what's with the Ice House ad? What is that string she's yan
Editor, Our team has been selected to play in the 2002 Sega Sports Las Vegas Bowl. Our success is due in large part to your tremendous support. We invite all of you to join us on Dec. 25, in Las Vegas, Nev., for the game. We are going to have a great time in an awesome city -- and we hope you'll be there with us! The UNM Athletic Department has created a special offer for all UNM students.
The Supreme Court's announcement to revaluate an ambiguous 1978 decision of affirmative action in higher education is indeed a polemic area that will galvanize flagrant outbursts on either side of the spectrum regardless of the final ruling. Several white students recently filed a lawsuit against the University of Michigan based on the rejection of their admission to the college's undergraduate law school.
