LETTERS: Lobo Frisbee coverage not fit for sports pages
March 8For the last three years the UNM Ultimate Frisbee club has tried diligently to earn some recognition on campus as a respectable organization and sport at UNM.

LETTER: Instructor's letter reflects poorly on his department
March 8I really want to comment on Ricky Lee Allen's letter that was printed on March 6. The fact that the writer identified himself as a "UNM College of Education Instructor" should be an embarrassment to all of his colleagues in the College of Education. I certainly hope that his letter was not an indication of the level of scholarship held by instructors in the College of Education.

COLUMN: 'Refuseniks' say no to war
March 7In late January, 52 reserve officers and combat soldiers of the Israeli Defense Force sent a letter to their government explaining their refusal to serve in the occupied areas of Palestine. Immediately they were lambasted from all sides.

LETTER: Candidate's representative: King supports equal rights
March 7I want to thank the Daily Lobo for their March 1st article on the candidates' forum sponsored by UNM College Democrats.
Opinion
LETTER: Psych. patients don't need religious leaflets in offices
March 7Let's create a whole new category to exonerate Andrea Yates: "not guilty by reason of religious view." Once again we have an attempt to recast a mental health issue as one where crime can be absolved by religion. Keep reminding the public that her psychiatrist was Mohammed Saeed and you even get to take sides.

LETTER: Music article leaves readers unfulfilled
March 7I was very disappointed by an article in Tuesday's paper. The story covered last weekend's live performance of several bands at the Launchpad.

LETTER: Faculty to fight calendar change
March 6Next fall, the lives of every UNM student and employee will be affected by a bureaucratic error made in the office of the University Registrar. The entire fall semester will begin and end a week before it should.

LETTER: Campus needs more bike racks in convenient places
March 6It's about time that UNM's Physical Plant started enforcing federal laws regarding bicycles illegally locked to and preventing the use of handrails by those who are visually and physically challenged. Having said that let me also state that UNM's Physical Plant isn't doing its job.

COLUMN: Piracy crackdown hurts all
March 6Sadly, the United States is no longer a country run on ideals like freedom, human rights, and limited government. Instead it is a nation that hardly even notices each time a new form of government oppression is handed down from Washington. Once upon a time, political leaders here said things like "give me liberty or give me death!"

LETTER: Community should police bike violations
March 6This letter is to comment on the March 5 Daily Lobo article "Physical Plant to begin enforcing bicycle lock rules."
Opinion
LETTER: White privilege still causes rift in society
March 6Don Starr's letter to the editor on March 5 demonstrates the deep racial divide amongst the working class. As a white person who also grew up in a trailer park, I agree with Starr's call for assistance to poor whites.
Opinion
LETTER: Democracy demands energy debate
March 6I have always been supportive of preserving our environment. I do empathize with what will happen to the arctic wildlife community if we start drilling, but to help our foreign efforts in the Middle East, we should not always be at the mercy of oil producing nations.

LETTER: Lobo misrepresents Frisbee team
March 6The Daily Lobo's article concerning the UNM Ultimate Frisbee Club's Green Chili Festival was not only lacking in integrity, but also completely insulting to many of the best athletes in the Southwest.

COLUMN: Nation should fight double standards
March 5Congresswoman Heather Wilson, a Republican in the 1st Congressional District, made the news this week calling for the reinstatement of the charter of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Service.

LETTER: Minorities are not the only ones in need of assistance
March 5As I was reading Ricky Lee Allen's letter to the editor on March 4, I was deeply offended at the generalizations he made about different races. Allen assumes only people of color know the effects of poverty. I grew up here in Albuquerque in a trailer park where I shared a fold out couch in the living room with my older brother for a bed; the other two rooms were for my sister and parents.

LETTER: Lobo inaccurately covers Frisbee team
March 5I am writing in response to the article appearing in the Daily Lobo on March 4 concerning the UNM ultimate Frisbee team. I am a strong supporter of UNM Frisbee, and I was at their tournament this weekend. I did not enjoy, nor did I appreciate the content of this article.
