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.
This time of year, most people are assessing their priorities and goals.
Editor, When UNM Professor Richard Berthold enthusiastically approved the slaughter of hundreds of innocent airline passengers to destroy the Pentagon he hates so much, he showed that he has even less humanity than the terrorists who committed this heinous act.
Editor, I am writing regarding a letter in the final edition of the Daily Lobo from the fall semester titled, "Republicans are misunderstood, believe in the First Amendment." The letter's author proclaims his disdain for those who are "anti-American."
As the UNM community braces for the legislative session that opens Tuesday, several state leaders have said that they will be paying extra attention to the University this year.
Editor, UNM History Professor Richard Berthold told a freshman class on Sept. 11 that "anyone who can bomb the Pentagon has my vote."
I surely won't be the first or the last to lament the sorry state of New Mexico drivers, but a brief hiatus from arguably the worst aspect of the Land of Enchantment has prompted me to speak up.
Editor, Before the last pendulum swing of power in Afghanistan, the Taliban arrested several foreign aid workers and proposed to try them for anti-Islamic activities in a court that could hardly be considered fair and impartial.
Ground zero, Dec. 28. As I approached from the subway stop a few blocks away, the crowd thickened. So did the vendors.
