Routine, annoying moth outbreak will soon be over
May 31The moth outbreak on campus and around the city is not an unusual occurrence. It happens every few years, depending on the previous winter weather.

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
Professor is deserving of award
May 7We 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.

‘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.)

<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
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
