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.

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.

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: 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.

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: 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: 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.

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.
