EDITORIAL: Plea for "Dead Week"
May 6Finals have fallen upon us and again a common question has arisen from perplexed students: Why doesn't UNM have a "Dead Week?"

LETTER: Land grant article has errors
May 2I was very glad that the Daily Lobo published an article on the oral presentation I gave on April 24 as part of the Dolores Gonzales Colloquy Series sponsored by the Raza Graduate Student Association and the Graduate and Professional Student Association at UNM.

LETTER: Victim's rights as important as assailant's
May 2A few days ago there was a letter to the editor complaining that the Daily Lobo and UNM Police don't do enough to keep people informed about crimes that take place on campus. Case-in-point was a woman who was brutalized in her dorm room while her roommate looked on. It took a letter to the editor to bring light to that case.

COLUMN: UNM overreacts to alcohol use
May 2Americans, or at least American public officials, seemingly cannot think rationally when it comes to drugs, including legal ones like alcohol.
Opinion
COLUMN: Conspiracy claims irrational
May 2Oil company executives are testifying for a Senate subcommittee this week answering allegations that price fixing is to blame for recent increases in the price of gasoline. Accusations of this sort are not new. There were charges of price gouging during the 2000 election that were very quietly dismissed after investigation. However, that these hearings are even going on is representative of an interesting and disconcerting group of people in the American political discourse that, for a lack of a better term, I will call conspiracists.

LETTER: N.M. residents can still vote in election
May 2Have you voted yet? If not, you still can. Absentee/early voting for the 2002 New Mexico Primary Election began on April 25 and runs until the Primary Election Day on June 4. Now is the time to exercise your right to vote as an American citizen and make an impact on who the next governor of New Mexico will be. The governor appoints the Board of Regents, which governs the University.

LETTER: Remember Sigma Chi's contributions to UNM
May 2As members of the Greek system we would just like to express our disgust with some of the students and faculty on this campus. For the last week we have been reading about Sigma Chi's charter being revoked. Yes, this happened; however, most do not know the exact circumstances behind this decision. Nor do they understand the impact that this has on the Greek system and the UNM community as a whole.

LETTER: Arab-Israeli conflict stems from larger biblical issues
May 1Secular-minded people who want to consider the Arab-Israeli conflict separate from spiritual issues will continue to be confused and confounded, and most often mistaken.
Opinion
LETTER: Leave frat woes alone
May 1I am not a member of Sigma Chi or any other fraternity. I really don't care one way or another which fraternities keep charters at UNM and which ones don't.
Opinion
COLUMN: Laws don't stop carnage
May 1Europe is reeling from the shock of its first American-style school massacre. The carnage in Erfurt defies imaginations in the European Union, where violent crime is nowhere near the daily occurrence we experience in the United States.
Opinion
LETTER: Fraternity troubles affect all
May 1I am writing as a response to the letters of the past week concerning the Greek system at UNM, specifically allegations of wrong doing at Sigma Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Opinion
LETTER: Students' concerns second
May 1Many people have begun complaining about the raise in tuition and higher rates on everything housing-related. I, myself, have complained even about the fact that I am receiving less financial aid - despite the fact that I'm in debt due to the small amount I received this year.

LETTER: Sigma Chi Charter loss improves UNM
April 30Since I am the one that called the dean on Sigma Chi, I would like the opportunity to say a few words to Jason Caldwell and the rest of his "brotherhood."
Opinion
LETTER: Irresponsible identification may brand suspect for life
April 30I don't pretend to know the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape at Sigma Phi Epsilon in March. However, by printing the name of a "possible suspect," you may well have ruined a young man's life.
Opinion
LETTER: Bush's 'our survival versus
April 30Exclusion. Us versus them. Why does the urge for survival turn into willingness to destroy? Why can't we understand that we are connected, we are each other? All the materialism in the world won't shut out the sounds of dying that haunt us from the other side of the world - just another room - in the house of we.

COLUMN: Workers' rights threatened by ruling
April 30When Jose Castro was fired for organizing a union, he had no idea his dismissal would threaten the rights of 8.5 million undocumented immigrant workers in the United States. Castro worked for Hoffman Plastics Compounds and when he was fired, the National Labor Relations Board took up the case. It ruled against the company and ordered $67,000 in back wages.
