LETTER: Reviewer unfair, disrespectful

February 18

Regarding the recently published review of "The All Night Strut," I am very much a believer that each person who attends a show has the right to form her own opinion of it. I also realize that as much as I would like it to happen, not every person will simply love every show presented by Musical Theatre Southwest. And this certainly holds true for the publicly shared opinions of the few reviewers in Albuquerque.

EDITORIAL: Exhibiting free speech

February 18

Controversy has found its home at UNM more than usual this academic year, and things are about to get interesting again this week.

LETTER: Protest anti-choice exhibit

February 18

As a student at UNM and an intern at New Mexico's chapter of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, the political arm of the pro-choice movement, I am writing to encourage students and faculty to protest the anti-choice exhibit that will be on campus from Feb. 18-21.

LETTER: Berthold unashamedly up to old tricks

February 18

When I finished reading Richard Berthold's Feb. 14 column titled "Government Wields Real Terror," I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

COLUMN: Making love not war in public

The past and coming weeks are rife with matters of peculiar public display.

LETTER: Protesters fighting to protect rights, not against commerce

February 15

It's interesting that the Daily Lobo columnist Craig E. Butler opened his recent column with the supposed intention of answering why the existence of NAFTA and the World Trade Organization causes street battles between activists and police. What makes this interesting is that Butler never makes even the slightest attempt to answer the question that he poses. To merely say that globalization's "approach" is "stepping on a lot of sensitive toes" is hardly an answer.

LETTER: Exhibit will not be sponsored by UNM

February 15

The Dean of Students Office is advising the campus community and campus visitors that Justice for All, Inc., an anti-abortion organization, will have a free-speech photographic exhibit that includes graphic photographs at three locations on the UNM campus. One Feb. 18 and 19, the exhibit will be north of Ortega Hall along the wooden fence. On Feb. 20 and 21, the exhibit will be east of Popejoy on Cornell Mall. The exhibit also will be at the Health Sciences Center Plaza on UNM's north campus Feb. 21.

COLUMN: APS needs community support

February 15

We can learn a lot about how society functions and sustains itself by knowing how it treats its younger generations. There are many old sayings about society's responsibility towards children and their future. With the Brad Allison fiasco and the recent voting not to raise taxes to build newer schools, these sayings could not be more appropriate and valuable than today.

COLUMN: 'Let's roll' means more money

February 14

President Bush informed us of our new creed: "Let's roll." Here in the United States this may seem ambiguous, leaving the ravers and marijuana smokers to reconsider their political mascot, bad joke; considering the escalated war on drugs. But beyond our borders, political leaders may have a better idea.

LETTER: Men's basketball a disgrace to its fans

February 14

Well, UNM men's basketball team, you did it. I did not think it was possible, but you did it. You have successfully accomplished what no other team in the past 20 years has from my standpoint.

In one of their legendary songs, the Beastie Boys summed up what a fair portion of college life is all about: "You've got to fight, for your right, to party."

COLUMN: Government wields real terror

February 14

It has been observed that America is a strange imperial power: one whose citizens care little and know even less about what goes on beyond their shores. This has created a dangerous situation in which the American people, as individuals typically generous and sensitive to the suffering of others, are easily led down unattractive paths by politicians who are far less generous and sensitive.

LETTER: World sees U.S. foreign policy as truly arrogant, hegemonistic

February 13

While the United States generally ignores the opinions of the developing countries, the fact that some of its European allies have questioned its foreign policy should serve as a wake-up call.

LETTER: Greeks have more crime problems than they let on

February 13

FBI statistics say that 80 percent of all gang rapes that occur in the United States happen in fraternities. An anthropological case study of Greek life by Peggy Reeves Sanday, "Fraternity Gang Rape: Sex, Brotherhood and Privilege on Campus" concludes that sororities are often complicit in the cover-up and sometimes even the set-up of rape cases in fraternity houses.

COLUMN: Globalization is best for all

Alma Olaechea | February 13

Globalization. It's a word we hear thrown around a lot these days, usually in conjunction with words such as "protest," "evil" and "corporations." But what is it, really? What are the WTO and NAFTA, and why exactly does their existence cause street battles between activists and police?
