by Kevin McAbee U-Wire America needs some change. Therefore, I have decided to ask the government to allow me to send a manned spaceship directly into the sun. It will be a joint effort with the Department of Homeland Defense to rid the United States of all "undesirables.
by Jennifer Onuska Daily Lobo Columnist A trend is developing throughout our country at other college campuses in which community service has become a part of their student governments. This addition to other student governments has been highly accepted and successful.
First let me say that I do not necessarily believe that abstinence education will really help matters any, unless handled in a certain way, but I disagree with what Elizabeth Gross has to say.
A deficiency of intelligent self-expression exists amongst the e-generation. Problematic with our complacent consumer culture is that we have lost the skills of dialogue and of open rebellion and contempt for the establishment and for the status quo. Where have the Allen Ginsbergs gone? The John Lennons? The Janis Joplins, the Eldridge Cleavers and all the other contrarians of the formative 1960s?
I am not the type of person that makes an issue out of being a vegetarian; I don't plan to do so here. I am, however, a little disappointed that there are not more choices for vegetarians on campus.
by Elizabeth Gross U-Wire What activity do most Americans participate in that scares our government into spending hundreds of millions of our tax dollars, and yet is enjoyed daily by citizens across the nation? The little word that is free but costing us millions: sex.
by Richard M. Berthold Daily Lobo Columnist Given what I went through last fall and how many times I was labeled a traitor or un-American or - worst - a liberal, there is a wonderful sense of irony in the fact that I was chosen to participate in the Air Force's Distinguished Educators program last July.
The UNM Lottery and Bridge to Success Scholarships are a bit like communism - they both look great on paper. However, year after year the scholarships are harshly criticized and despite support from UNM community, little action has been taken in making these programs efficient.
When I heard that Iraq was willing to let weapons inspectors back into its country, I breathed a sigh of relief. The foolhardy path of war that the Bush administration had such a hard-on for had at last come to an end. However, after a minute or so, the skeptic inside me thought the president would play down this event and look for another excuse to unleash our weapons of mass destruction upon the land and people of Iraq.
A battle is being waged in court this week over the amount of water in the Rio Grande. Because of this year's drought, the water supplies keeping the river flowing may run out as early as next week. A week or so from now, there might only be a sandy riverbed running through Albuquerque.
UNM Child Care Center article published Monday, Sept. 16, failed to mention one very important point about the program: the lunch program is administered under the guidelines of the USDA federal food program. Who would believe that therein lay an unbelievable struggle between parental rights and political correctness?
by Eric Linderman U-Wire Of all the media outlets available to us, none generates more distrust and hostility than the television. Despite that fact, it's still where most normal people get their news. That's unfortunate because, as many media analysts have already noted, "TV journalism" is somewhat of an oxymoron.
by Sari Krosinsky Daily Lobo Columnist On July 31, a bomb went off in a cafeteria at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It wasn't the usual suicide bombing, but a bomb planted and set off remotely by a cell phone. Bad jokes about cell phones really being deadly aside, a comment from a friend drew me to look farther into this particular situation.
by Heather R. Gabel Daily Lobo Columnist I can't believe we are now 25 percent done with the 2002 fall semester; it has gone faster than I ever could have imagined. This is the fifth column you have read about ASUNM and I hope that you feel that you are beginning to understand what the Associated Students of UNM student government is and how it helps the students of the University of New Mexico.
by Casey Jacketta U-Wire Last Saturday, Rev. Matt Hale of the Illinois-based World Church of the Creator spoke at the Sugarhouse Branch of the Salt Lake County Library. Despite what its name implies, the organization is not what those who consider themselves religious would associate with a "church.
