LETTER: Faculty changes tied to students
April 26First, boy, do I just enjoy the word evolution - a process of change in a particular direction! In the context of the unquestionably long and fascinating history of this fragile sphere we all call home, it means that change is simply a constant.

EDITORIAL: Gordon deserves praise
April 25While it is hard to convince the majority of people on this campus to agree on anything, the consensus after UNM President Bill Gordon announced his retirement was that he would be sorely missed.

LETTER: Muslim exhibit too anti-Israeli
April 25I have some pressing concerns regarding Tuesday's Muslim Student Association's anti-Israeli exhibit. The degree of pro-Palestinian bias and spin present in the display appalled me to say the least. If the Muslim Student Association's supposed goal was to educate people about the conflict in the Middle East, it clearly failed.

LETTER: Protesters should fight war, not capitalism

COLUMN: Nationalism could lead to war
April 24The recent success of French nationalist Jean-Marie Le Pen over Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin and the recent waves of anti-Semitic violence in France are worrisome indicators of a new wave of European nationalist sentiment.

April 24As the year winds down and the Daily Lobo is nearing its final week of publication, UNM finds itself without a president. In search for a new president, I hope that person will have an active interest in the activities of our students.

COLUMN: Necessity, not laws, will save Earth
April 23Earth Day is one of those events that has become untouchable by any person that would question the motivations, practices or aims of those that advocate any kind of activist environmentalism. Opponents to the regulation-based environmentalism of the current environmental movement are routinely depicted as the sorts that would kill puppies for a buck, end sunshine to drive an SUV or that feel a need to consume all natural resources before their selfish children grow up and use them all.

LETTER: Students deserve to be kept informed of campus crimes
April 22A brave woman seriously changed my perceptions about UNM and its politics last Friday after class. She stood up in front of our class, with tears in her eyes, and informed us about a girl she knew who was beaten by her roommate's friends in her own dorm room last Saturday.
