LETTER: Pro-lifers should save the living
February 20Ahh, the sweet smell of hypocrisy has once again swept over our campus.

LETTER: Seeking alternatives to graphic exhibit
February 20As most of us have seen the controversial exhibit of the anti-freedom group ironically named "Justice For All," we ask ourselves about the idea of freedom. What does it mean and to whom does it apply? As liberals we believe in the freedoms that the Bill of Rights guarantees to all Americans, thus the right to express one's political beliefs even when they is wrong.

LETTER: Exhibit nauseating, has no place at UNM
February 20Like many students at UNM, my Monday morning was greeted with a flagrantly disgusting series of images depicting abortion outside of Mitchell Hall. As for shock value, these people have certainly done their job well.

LETTER: Abortion exhibit is tasteless, but spawned helpful dialogue
February 20As a pro-choice woman, I have a few comments to make regarding the display by Justice for All in front of Ortega Hall.

COLUMN: Campaign finance needs no reform
February 19The long saga of campaign finance reform reached a turning point very early last Thursday as members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted 240 to 189 in favor of the Shays-Meehan Bill. The vote was the culmination of months of parliamentary wrangling and an epic 15-hour debate on the floor of the House. It also is one of the most egregious examples of the spineless and intellectually vacuous positions that the public and its representatives are apt to take regarding this issue.

LETTER: Activists on both sides should support exhibit
February 19So many people go out to support a cause or an idea and are completely oblivious to the outcome of the cause they support. Society determines what is acceptable. The people with the loudest voices are the ones who say what is and what isn't. Be it on me to speak about those on the contrary?

LETTER: Graphic fetus photos not
February 19The look on my 2-year-old son's face when he sees a baby on TV or out in the world is really something to behold, as he delightedly points and yells "Baby!" Monday he and I were rolling around campus as usual. We got breadsticks at the Pizza Hut stand, then came out under Ortega Hall, heading for the library.

LETTER: Butler's analysis simplistic, wrong
February 18In his own words, Lobo columnist Craig Butler describes his analysis of globalization as "simply put."

LETTER: U.S. not responsible for Middle East repression
February 18Regarding Richard Berthold's piece from Feb. 14, I'd like to know how much time Mr. Berthold has spent in Palestine, Israel or Iraq.
Opinion
LETTER: U.S. should recognize we fit Bush's 'evil'
February 18Like a lot of people around the world, I was deeply disturbed by the president's State of the Union Address and think that his reference to North Korea, Iran and Iraq as the axis of evil needs closer scrutiny.

LETTER: Basketball team selfish, uncharitable
February 18I commend Chris Maxwell for calling the UNM men's basketball program to task. Of course, the only response you'll get is a patronizing smile because you "don't understand the ins and outs of a major college sports program."
Opinion
LETTER: Reviewer unfair, disrespectful
February 18Regarding 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 18Controversy 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 18As 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 18When 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
February 18The past and coming weeks are rife with matters of peculiar public display.
Opinion
LETTER: Protesters fighting to protect rights, not against commerce
February 15It'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 15The 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.
