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.
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 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.
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.
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.
I attend the UNM Gallup Branch and I would really like to know why they can not get it together.
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.
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.
There’s been some commentary about whether UNM is a good university.
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.
The editorial in the Aug. 13-19 issue of the Daily Lobo, regarding the campuswide power outage on Aug. 4 is inaccurate.
It’s almost the beginning of another semester, and I’m not surprised to hear that rapes have already been committed.
I am not someone who normally writes response letters, however, I must thank you so much for Sari Krosinsky’s column on following your passions in the July 26-Aug. 12 issue of the Daily Lobo.
Don’t you just feel a chill run down your spine every time you see Amtrak’s Southwest Chief pull into the downtown station bound for Chicago or LA?
Forty years ago, a young man was sent out into the world with a sport coat, tie and the admonition to live long and prosper. Book-ended by the “Can do” and “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” social drives, many a man goosed his engine day and night, living life as if there were no tomorrow, and with rather predictable frequency, there was none.
I’m writing to applaud you for the fraternity rape story you ran in the July 12-18 Daily Lobo.
