EDITORIAL: ASUNM's theft of papers distressing
November 15I never dreamt I would say it, but I guess I just gave ASUNM too much credit.

COLUMN: ASUNM shouldn't have touched Lobo's funding
November 14Hey buddy, can you spare $554,000? That is what the senators of Associated Students of UNM are asking students for today, and I would gladly give it to them.

Editorial: Above all, just vote
November 14Since you have made the effort to look at the Daily Lobo's opinion page, please don't stop here. You obviously care about what's going on around you

LETTER: Students depend upon news Lobo provides
November 14I doubt, as some critics have voiced, that the members of the ASUNM Senate - and this is in regard to distributing funds - are partial to student organizations. When deciding how funds should be distributed, senate members have UNM's best interest in mind.

LETTER: Lobo would cut ad rates if it truly cared about students
November 14This year ASUNM has done an outstanding job serving over 21,000 undergraduate students. It is extremely interesting that the editor of the Daily Lobo would refute this claim, due to the fact that the Daily Lobo reports on and is informed about all of ASUNM's events or services that are provided to students.
Opinion
COLUMN: ASUNM doesn't deserve funding
November 14Today my fellow UNM students, we embark on an important journey. Alright, maybe its not that important, but today's ASUNM election does have some significance.
Opinion
LETTER: ASUNM does handle money fairly
November 14I am writing in response to three letters that appeared in Wednesday's Daily Lobo, the first being ASUNM Vice President Steve Aguilar Jr. His assessment of ASUNM funding is 100 percent correct. In 1999-2000, I served as the attorney general for ASUNM.
Opinion
LETTER: Lobo an indispensable information center
November 13As a proud advertiser of the Daily Lobo, I was disheartened to hear that the ASUNM Senate wants to, once again, cut back on funding to one of UNM's finest creations - its daily newspaper.
Opinion
LETTER: Editor's remarks selfish, misleading
November 13I want to address the inaccurate remarks made by Iliana Lim¢n against the ASUNM Senate and express my extreme displeasure in the intentionally misleading manner in which she has selfishly presented the fee increase to UNM students.

LETTER: Representative's free speech critique at rally un-American
November 13I attended a Veterans Day ceremony Sunday on Lower Johnson Field with distinguished speakers such as Rep. Heather Wilson.
Opinion
COLUMN: ASUNM refuses to support publications
November 13Once again, Conceptions Southwest finds itself on uncertain ground due to the Associated Students of UNM.
Opinion
LETTER: ASUNM doesn't benefit all students
November 13This is my third semester at UNM. I'm doing what I can to take advantage of my education - that does not, however, include anything in terms of extra-curricular activities. I go to school, go to work, study, exercise, work a total of 16 hours on Saturday and Sunday and I come home to a wonderful man I plan to marry when I'm done with school, which is where I deserve to spend my evenings.
Opinion
LETTER: Editor's reporting inaccurate, biased
November 13I want to express my frustration with the way you choose to "fairly and accurately" account the daily news. The job of any journalist is to strive for objectivity when reporting on daily events. I want to commend each of the reporters for doing this, but the editor-in-chief Iliana Lim¢n, who should know better, continually refuses to do so.
Opinion
LETTER: Lobo should be invaluable forum to ASUNM
November 13Once again the Senate has managed to show its ignorance and hypocrisy. When senators are running for office, such as Grant Nichols, they are constantly talking about how ASUNM needs to be more accessible to students.
Opinion
LETTER: Hunters do more to preserve
November 12I feel utterly compelled to respond to the wildlife preserves column by Paula Moore and Carla Bennett. It seems time and time again People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) comes out and throws itself behind a cause in which it seamlessly finds a way to bring up its goal of ending hunting and fishing. The column states so many egregious errors in reference to hunting and fishing it is ridiculous.
Opinion
COLUMN: Revolutionaries 'get people fed'
November 12Though appearances may be to the contrary, activist life does still thrive outside of protests. Protests generally attract the most attention, but there are other aspects of activism that are at least as important to this whole changing the world thing.
Opinion
LETTER: Lobo misprints figures
November 12Editor, My two letters on 500 years of U.S. atrocities to Native Americans were published in the Oct. 24 and Oct. 25 editions of the Daily Lobo. Each time my estimated figures for the number of native people on this continent at the time of first European contact were changed to a much lower figure.
Opinion
LETTER: UNM administration has no respect for U.S. Constitution
November 12Editor, The terrorist attack on Sept. 11 reminded us of the true value of freedom. The principle of due process of law, innocence until proven guilty and other liberties are the bulwark of that freedom. The freedom we enjoy is not to be abridged unless an independent court of law, dedicated to a government of laws and not of men, is convinced "beyond a reasonable doubt" that an alleged law violator actually is a law violator.
Opinion
COLUMN: ASUNM bill an insult to students
David Briones | November 12I am writing in response to the letter written by members of the ASUNM Finance Committee published in Friday's newspaper. First, let me tell readers that I am an employee of the New Mexico Daily Lobo. I have worked with The Lobo since the middle of the spring semester and have been an advertising representative since the beginning of the summer.

COLUMN: Wealth reduces people, nature
November 12I would like to share with you a story. One day, walking home from class, a boy notices a dandelion flower growing from the middle of a concrete sidewalk, desolate of any other vegetation, covered with cigarette butts and pancaked bubble gum.
