Recent announcements of plans to launch two competing cable channels targeted to gay audiences have put the issue of gay visibility on center screen.
So you think Enron had a great scam going?
A handful of members from the UNM community offered their takes on the ramifications of voters' decision last week to overwhelmingly reject the Albuquerque Public Schools bond issues.
As one might expect, the part of president Bush’s State of the Union Address that has garnered the most attention and protest is the characterization of Iraq, Iran and North Korea as an “axis of evil.”
Recent announcements of plans to launch two competing cable channels targeted to gay audiences have put the issue of gay visibility on center screen.
I would like to comment on the recent article in the Daily Lobo that recounted the lecture given by Ms. Winona LaDuke. I was dissatisfied with the article for several reasons.
So, Valentine's Day is on the way again. Time for an excess of all things red and pink. Of course, I'm not generally all that big on the whole secular, commercialized holiday thing. But this, pitiful as it is to admit, is going to be my first Valentine's Day that I'll actually be dating someone - barring any unforeseen mishaps between now and Thursday. So you'll have to forgive me if I wax a bit cheesy.
This is in response to Trey Smith's letter to the editor on Feb. 7. Mr. Smith I understand your criticism of the APS school board, however, your criticism of the voters who voted down the bond issues seems naãve, at best.
Throughout history we have developed remarkable trading routes, relationships and sustainable systems of agriculture. The existence of the "market" and the art of economics, translated from Greek meaning the management of the house, are nothing new to human cultures.
Steve Determan's letter in the Feb. 5 edition of the Lobo underscores how deeply entrenched racism is in our society. Luckily, his attempt to refute Ms. Valdez's article was illogical and narrow minded.
I am disappointed that Brandon Curtis would link the value of his degree of political science to finding a job that would pay his bills. The university system has never claimed that the education offered was practical. It is not the purpose of a professor to "guarantee" a job upon graduation.
Angela Williams' report on former vice presidential candidate Winona LaDuke in Wednesday's Daily Lobo states, "The average child watches 14,000 hours of commercials a year."
After reading Maceo Carrillo Martinet's Feb. 1 column, I asked myself, "what do the issues of Western Civilization versus other cultures have to do with real life?"
The thing about Black History Month is that it's too short - February is the shortest month - and it's too often a simplistic display of what might be called black trivia. Who invented the traffic light? Who came up with the plan for Washington? Who came up with umpty-hundred uses for peanuts?
Last night I watched the news at 10 p.m. and was completely disgusted by one of their stories: Albuquerque voters had voted against the APS Bond issue.
I can empathize with the frustration expressed by Ann Bieberdorf in the Jan. 25 Daily Lobo with regard to buying and selling textbooks at the UNM Bookstore.
It would behoove Chris Welch to take a course in logic since his argument in Tuesday's edition of the Daily Lobo is full of holes. According to him, the only people who are concerned about the collapse of Enron, and its criminal practices, are liberals.
