Working in the service industry has the unfortunate side effect of impressing you — with exactly how much the customer believes they buy from the company and how much the company believes its $6 per hour buys from you.
We have to admit that we are students in strange times — stem cells, cloning humans and morality headaches, a president whose missing-ballot election and intellect are seriously questionable, while NAFTA, the International Monetary Fund and others are sanctioning the free slavery of our neighbors throughout the globe by U.S. corporations.
I would like to clarify some apparent misunderstandings in Monday’s Daily Lobo article regarding protests during George W. Bush’s recent visit to Albuquerque.
Two outs, bottom of the ninth and you hit the big home run and win the game.
This column is addressed to all the new students at UNM, who surely received a rosy picture of the University during orientation.
I am a graduate student in American Studies. To be frank, I never eat the food provided on campus due to the lack of availability of healthy, organic, non-corporate alternatives.
Funny thing I notice as I look around campus. Last time I saw the place was at the end of spring semester, and I had hoped that most of the construction projects would be done by the time I got back. Instead, things are even more torn up, with more orange barrels and fences than before.
I never cease to be amazed by the behavior of people. Case in point: protesters screaming and whining because they weren’t permitted to disrupt an important event. The Barelas Job Opportunity Center represents education and empowerment of the people, by the people.
I attend the UNM Gallup Branch and I would really like to know why they can not get it together.
A recurring theme in the Daily Lobo during my time at UNM has been free speech.
I have not yet seen “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin,” so I have no idea whether Nick Cage has a convincing Italian accent but he ought to.
Imagine for a moment that you, yes you, are finishing school tomorrow. Imagine further that after the dean hands you your shiny new degree and you land a cherry job working in an office in a big fancy hotel. You do a great job and after a year you are made assistant manager of the sales department. The next day, your life is ruined.
I am writing in response to the news article “Inmate Population Drops,” in the Aug. 13-19 Daily Lobo. I have visited and corresponded with dozens of friends and acquaintances in many prisons during the past 25 years.
After the recent collective bargaining negotiations with the United Staff-UNM were concluded, the Department of Human Resources began receiving telephone calls from staff and supervisors seeking “equity increases” for staff in this bargaining unit.
The fall semester is officially under way, and I will be one of many people on campus this week encouraging students to learn about all that UNM has to offer.
There’s been some commentary about whether UNM is a good university.
The editorial in the Aug. 13-19 issue of the Daily Lobo, regarding the campuswide power outage on Aug. 4 is inaccurate.
I hope I’m not the only one who found George W. Bush’s moral dilemma regarding stem-cell research amusing.
As you begin to forge in new directions this fall semester, it might be important to examine the nature and extent of your connections with others. For many, this fall represents multiple transitions — interpersonal, geographic, cultural, academic and work.
I’m writing to applaud you for the fraternity rape story you ran in the July 12-18 Daily Lobo.
