While you're thinking about possible holiday gifts, instead of looking in a catalog, you might want to take a look at a recent report from the National Cancer Institute.
As a young woman, I'm constantly aware of the risk of breast cancer. It's hard not to be. The pink ribbons, the hundreds of fundraising events each year and the startling statistics all serve as a reminder that breast cancer - despite recent gains - remains a major threat to women everywhere.
It seems that the Daily Lobo is behind the times in its reporting of Mario Sanchez's bid for mayor of Belen. It was reported in a Belen paper last week that Mr. Sanchez was removed from the race for not having a Belen residence at the time of his application for candidacy.
Hello students, welcome back. Education is power, and therefore, you are powerful. But there are more effective ways of achieving power than going to school, like say, going to war.
The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks drove home the responsibilities of every citizen - and brought new threats to open government.
Google, my favorite search engine, calls it the "Zeitgeist," a German word for the spirit of an age, the trend of thought in a particular time.
I was pleased to see the Daily Lobo's addition of Michael Carrasco to the ensemble of Daily Lobo columnists. For the first time, the Daily Lobo has a coherent conservative whose ideas do not come off as uninformed, which I say with all sincerity.
Colunmist Michael Carrasco needs get real! For years I have worked with many other people to get the United States to address some of the huge injustices perpetrated by the Taliban. A position I would maintain comes not from "moral relativism" but from U.S. nationalism.
I find it interesting that for once I am in complete agreement with Sen. Joe Lieberman. Having just returned from Central Asia, Lieberman made a speech at Georgetown University saying that we must assist Muslim nations in modernizing and building up to join the rest of the world community at large.
I am writing to you to ask the UNM community to please stop the Berthold Bashing. My head and heart aches for what happened on Sept. 11 of this year and for what Berthold said. I feel that he should have been reprimanded but not fired. He has paid for what he has said with a letter in his file and a restriction on what classes he can teach.
Editor, We in New York City were much disappointed with your wrist slap of Professor Richard Berthold after all we've been through. And believe me, it got press here.
Editor, Welcome back! We hope that your winter break was enjoyable. As we put the holiday season behind us, we enter into another season known as the legislative session. The 2002 legislative session begins today in Santa Fe. This year differs from many others because of the limited amount of money available.
What a difference a year makes. The year 2001 seemed to be the beginning of something new and exciting; the new millennium had gone into full swing (or just begun for the purists) and it seemed more appropriate to worry more about small scraps of paper than Afghanistan.
It is a long distance from student consumers at college and university campus stores in the United States to the wretched overseas factories indenturing sweatshop workers who produce products for the U.S. market.
Editor, When I was a student at Highland High School, I studied Latin and had the privilege of attending several lectures by Professor Berthold. His lectures were exciting, funny, meaningful and to the point. I remember looking forward to college and UNM if my classes were to be so lively. Since high school, I sadly have not had the chance to take one of Berthold's classes. Now, even more sadly, I may never have that chance.
The U.S. District Court delivered a blow to justice when it recently denied Mumia Abu-Jamal a new trial. Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering a policeman in 1981, amid legal flaws during his trial, and has been on death row since 1982.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - "I'm scared. You might be carrying a gun under your veil," murmured one of my students. Why I would carry a gun to my class, I wondered? I was sure she was joking. But she was not. She was serious and frightened, too.
