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.
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.
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?
Just when it looked like big tobacco had run out of reasons to encourage smoking, Phillip Morris comes out with yet another dubious argument. During the last two years, cigarette companies, including Phillip Morris, have been exposed for decades of questionable business practices that included trying to lure children to their products and not going public with the health risks caused by smoking before it became common knowledge.
While I agree with Jocelyn Gamble’s assertion in the previous Daily Lobo that parking fees go up and take a bite out of every raise we get, her mathematics are poorly done.
I write this letter in response to Holly Bogenholm’s letter in the last issue of the paper. I agree with Holly that fraternities can be unsafe places for women on campus.
On July 18, I sent an e-mail to all UNM employees explaining the necessity of a small increase in parking rates and stating what the rates would be for the 2001-02 permit year. That message was restated in an advertisement in the July 19-25 edition of the Daily Lobo.
When my mom was younger than I am now, she knew she was an artist. She wanted to take art in high school, but her guidance counselor made her take Spanish instead because she’s Venezuelan. She wanted to go to college to study art, but her mother thought college should be reserved for the boys, so my mom was sent to a community college to learn a trade instead.
I’m writing to express my shock at the way the latest campus rape story was presented in the July 12-18 Daily Lobo.
I am writing in response to the most recent addition to the long, and growing, list of reported rapes perpetrated on our campus. UNM administration and campus police should be ashamed of the way they’ve handled these felonies in the past and certainly for the way they are handling this one.
I am surprised that some UNM employees believe that parking is a service that should be free, according to a letter to the editor published in the July 19-25 Daily Lobo. I have investigated other university policies and found that free parking is not the norm.
Any true gentleman understands that no means no, regardless of the circumstances or reputation of the lady in question. Any true gentleman would also strive to prevent harm from coming to a lady.
New Mexico is filled with much beauty, including our people, traditions and our peoples’ beliefs.
With the latest allegations of rape on fraternity row, it is time to once again examine the issue of safety on campus, particularly as it effects women.
I am very upset about the parking pass increase. It seems every time we get a raise the fee for services that should be free because I work here — like parking — is increased.
I am writing in response to the letter from James Brickey regarding cell phones and the poor published in the July 12-18 Daily Lobo. Is he kidding? I mean, really, is he kidding?
Thank you for printing the story about the Wiccan teacher who was fired from her job. I am a little upset that people could be fired because their religion is different from mainstream society.
I’m sure you’ve heard all the hullabaloo about “free trade” and globalization: North American Free Trade Agreement, World Trade Organization, World Bank/International Monetary Fund and the like. But what effect, one must wonder, has the increasing free movement of capital had toward facilitating freer movement of people?
