Change is a part of life. It’s natural that we are resistant new ideas or ways of doing things because it forces us out of our comfort zones. I’ve always tried to embrace change as a challenge and opportunity, but Albuquerque’s new area code lacks a ring of virtue that would allow me to find a silver lining.
Editor, This is a response to your editorial in the June 6-13 Daily Lobo, “Protestors forget what the Virgin represents.” The title of your editorial betrays a certain arrogance on your part. I believe it is you and not the many who are protesting that forgets what the Virgin represents. She represents, yes, a strong woman, but also a humble, devout virtuous woman — a women who always deferred to the will of God. It is you, just like Alma L¢pez who just doesn’t get it.
Although it’s some months from Thanksgiving, the time when we all remember the homeless, Joy Junction, New Mexico’s largest emergency homeless shelter, will still take in individuals and entire families without roofs over their heads tonight.
Editor, Your story on award-winning adjunct instructor Ann Skinner-Jones (June 6-13) makes clear her excellent qualifications and enthusiasm for teaching.
Thousands of journalists were clamoring to best describe the emotion that embodied Monday’s execution of Timothy McVeigh.
Sometimes, the Roman Catholic Church just doesn’t get it. Neither do a lot of people who violently opposed artist Alma L¢pez’s “scandalous” rendering of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
Vermont Sen. James Jeffords’ defection from the Republican Party highlights the selfishness of the Bush administration. The Republican Party now faces a dilemma that could break its infamous reputation of running a tight ship that always votes the party line. The party must decide whether making money is more important than caring for our future.
Thank you for your coverage on the recent UNM Network problems. The intermittent connection and slowdown problems were corrected May 31. The situation was caused by a combination of network upgrade problems, incompatibility issues between some UNM department-specific equipment and UNM Network devices and another series of denial-of-service attacks, which were coincidental and compounded the other two problems.
I could not be more proud of Senator Jeffords of Vermont. It is encouraging to know that independent, thoughtful people exist in Washington who place the needs of their country and constituents ahead of the needs of the Republican or Democratic Parties.
I love baseball, but something about Wednesday’s special election just didn’t sit well with me. It wasn’t the question of using city money to support baseball. I have no problem endorsing a recreational activity that has long been part of the city’s culture.
The moth outbreak on campus and around the city is not an unusual occurrence. It happens every few years, depending on the previous winter weather.
Tuesday night, Estero High School in Estero, Fla., held its graduation ceremonies. One of the graduating seniors was not allowed to attend. Lindsay Brown, a National Merit Scholar and honor student who had never before been in trouble at school, was suspended for having a kitchen knife in her car.
It is with great regret that I write this editorial to apologize to Daily Lobo readers and columnist Richard Berthold.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate UNM’s Graduating Class of 2001. We at Parking and Transportation Services commend our graduates on a job well done and wish them the very best as they head on to new careers or advanced degree work. We hope that your celebrations are both safe and joyous and offer these suggestions to make commencement and convocations as enjoyable and hassle-free for you and your families as possible.
Suicide 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.
We are responding to a letter in the May 1 Daily Lobo from Bob Anderson. He seems confused about why professor Mohammed El-Genk was chosen as the 46th Annual Research Lecturer and wrote, “I am greatly disappointed that UNM gave a prestigious award, several thousand dollars and time off to someone who is basically using our school to help the military wage war in space.” This comment is inaccurate and unfair.
As 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.)
