‘Religious’ doesn’t equal ‘right’
May 7As if Jeremy Reynalds weren’t enough, there’s a new radical religious columnist on the block. It’s a diabolical plot. Today the Daily Lobo, tomorrow the world. (Insert evil laugh here.)

Lobo apologizes for mistake in column
May 7It is with great regret that I write this editorial to apologize to Daily Lobo readers and columnist Richard Berthold.

Suicidal individuals need to seek professional help
May 7Suicide is a complex, behavioral response to someone feeling helplessly trapped in a bad situation. People feeling suicidal often are not aware of alternative actions they can take to alleviate or change themselves or their situation.
Opinion
Americans should pay reparations
May 3Editor, We have seen many examples in the last couple of weeks from people who do not believe in reparations to African-Americans.

<i>Lobo</i> right to print sound, well-writen advertisement
May 3Editor, I applaud and appreciate your decision to print David Horowitz's controversial advertisement regarding race reparations.
Opinion
Limiting free speech is wrong
Richard Berthold | May 3It is certainly understandable that some old lady clutching an icon of the Virgin might not fully understand the meaning of free expression, but it is always disappointing to see university students assume a similar intolerant stance.
Opinion
New stadium makes fiscal sense, would benefit UNM
May 3Editor, I feel most students need some crucial information before making a decision to vote on the stadium later this month.
Opinion
Free expression should flourish at universities
May 3Editor, Since I graduated from UNM a year and a half ago, I find myself reading the Daily Lobo more than ever. I also have seen the reoccurrence of a problem that plagued the Lobo a few years back.

Pro-Reynalds letters scarce on Daily Lobo Opinion page
May 2Editor, I have to ask Kristina Scott, Richard Fagerlund and all the others who write the to the Daily Lobo with a clear anti-Christian bias — why does the term “bigot” not apply to you? Why are Christians somehow not part of the diverse population? And I also notice that there is a clear dearth of letters supporting Mr. Reynalds whenever I read the Lobo, so I have to ask the Lobo editor — do you only print anti-Reynalds letters, or are those the only ones you get?
Opinion
Notorious columnists’ convictions applauded
May 2Editor, I disagree with Doug Flynn and some of the other folks who want Jeremy Reynalds out of the Daily Lobo. I am probably one of Jeremy’s biggest critics and I disagree with almost everything he writes. Having said that, I also enjoy reading his columns, even if they are, at times, overbearing.
Opinion
Tax payers support murder
May 2Editor, I am responding to the April 17 Daily Lobo editorial page cartoon on taxes that mentioned me. I have paid no federal income tax for 22 years. I refuse to pay for the United State to rob, terrorize, cripple and murder millions of our sisters and brothers worldwide.
Opinion
Space tourism could be reality
Craig A. Butler | May 2American Dennis Tito became Monday what many are calling the world’s first space tourist. Floating onto the International Space Station with a grin on his face and $20 million poorer, he became the first to show that what science fiction authors have dreamed of for decades may not be so far out after all.
Opinion
Lobo deserves kudos for running controversial ad
May 2Editor, While David Horowitz has some good points in his reparations advertisement, he quickly spoils them toward the end of the list. He asks the question of acknowledgement of black America and its leaders for the “gifts” of freedom. He is quick to point out that “a white president” gave his life for his beliefs, but he forgets to mention Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — a black activist who was also killed because of his beliefs.
Opinion
Free speech used to justify menacing ad
May 2Editor, It seemed like a bad enough start to the day to see that the infamous Horowitz advertisement had made its way to our campus, but the free speech shield carefully placed on the opposite page really ruined my morning. Eighty percent of the “Opinion” page is dedicated to the Horowitz hoohah, 100 percent of which is in defense of its publication.
Opinion
Letter criticizing Earth Day hasty, uninformed
May 1Editor, I am compelled to make a few statements regarding Michael Carrasco’s April 26 letter to the editor, “Earth Day Should be Renamed Human’s Day.” The letter was an attack on environmentalists and the conservation movement and was an uninformed opinion.
Opinion
Reynalds’ needs accountability
May 1Editor, Once again this week, the opinion page is full of responses — largely negative ones — to Jeremy Reynalds’ most recent column. Not only that, but the responses are more often keyed not to Reynalds’ particular issue for the week but to the Daily Lobo’s readers’ frustrations that Reynalds’ column seems to have little to do with UNM or with their lives in particular.
