LETTER: UNM self-serving, hinders all cyclists
November 30Once again, the powers-at-be at UNM act to penalize students for the University's own narrow vision. Yes, it is a shame that bicyclists are parking their bikes in such a way that they impede access to others.

LETTER: Bike rack removal source of problems
November 30While I empathize and understand the frustration that students who are challenged physically may have with bicycles locked to railings and benches, I see the problem more as one with the removal of pre-existing bike racks than rogue students with bikes bent on making others' lives more difficult.

November 30There is good news for people who care about equality. The American public is becoming more accepting of gays, lesbians and bisexuals.

LETTER: U. S. retaliation appropriate
November 28To Ms. Shannon Flock and others of her ilk who feel that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were retaliation because we "stick our nose into other countries' business," may I gently remind you that our own country was assisted in its foundation because other European countries, notably France, felt it appropriate to join our fight.
