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?
The Museum of New Mexico held its ground last week, fighting off the latest wave of protests over Alma L¢pez’s “Our Lady,” which is a digital rendition of the Virgin of Guadalupe dressed in a flowered bikini.
I was disappointed with your editorial in the June 14-20 edition of the Daily Lobo regarding Alma L¢pez’s piece of garbage that depicts the Virgin Mary in a bikini.
In the June 28-July 4 issue of the Daily Lobo, Iliana Lim¢n heralds the New York Legislature’s ban of hand-held cell phone use while driving as an example New Mexico should follow. In the editorial, she cites two high-profile accidents which were caused by people reaching for cell phones.
I am writing in response to Richard Fagerlund’s letter in the June 28-July 4 Daily Lobo. He wrote about Lauren Berrios, a teacher of two years at Hampton Bays Elementary School in New York, who was recently dismissed. She claims she was fired because of the administration’s intolerance toward her religious beliefs — she is a Wiccan.
Just when I thought it was safe. I thought all the obnoxious Lewinsky jokes had run their course. I thought adding new words to the English language was going to be the most annoying distraction to float out of Washington, D.C., this summer, but a new scandal has hit the Beltway.
I would like to make one correction in you article entitled, “Unions accept 6.5 percent increase.” Your final comment, “....but we have shut down merit pay and are now on a level playing field,” is not a fair representation of the union position during the recent contract negotiations.
