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.

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.
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
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
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.

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.

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?

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
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.
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
New baseball stadium will benefit entire city
May 1Editor, In writing his April 25 letter “Arguments in favor of baseball stadium flawed,” Adam Collingsworth attempts to raise the point that “many people ... do not care for baseball and will never be affected by the existence or lack of a stadium.” It is this kind of selfish thinking that contributes to the lack of growth in Albuquerque.
Opinion
UNM community should question role in space war
May 1Editor, I attended the speech by professor Mohamed El-Genk of UNM’s Institute for Space and Nuclear Power last week, as promoted on the Daily Lobo’s front page.

<i>Lobo</i> columnist reflects on year
Brandon D. Curtis | May 1It’s funny how time has flown by so quickly this past year for me as a Daily Lobo columnist.

Free speech protection behind ad publication
April 30It is an honor to have been selected to serve as the New Mexico Daily Lobo’s next editor in chief. I have worked at the newspaper for the last three years, which, at times, has been a frustrating, infuriating experience. It is also the best job I have ever had.
Opinion
Reynalds’ regular column is a disservice to readers
April 30I don’t know if I’m the only person who feels offended by the Daily Lobo’s editor’s flippant and rather callous response to serious inquiries regarding the reason why Jeremy Reynalds’ is entitled to rant in a weekly column.
Opinion
Horowitz has right to speak
Ken Paulson | April 30Just how free are America’s campuses? That’s an open question in the wake of a controversial newspaper ad opposing reparations for the descendants of slaves.
Opinion
Text of Reparations Advertisement
April 30Because the David Horowitz’s reparations advertisement is being mentioned heavily in today’s Opinion section, the Daily Lobo is providing the text of the advertisement on its Web site so that readers can see for themselves what is being debated.
