Rivera’s vision of building baseball stadium on target

April 27

Raymond Rivera’s April 9 column, “Downtown stadium is needed,” was a wonderfully insightful column on the possibilities of a downtown stadium. While not everyone likes baseball, myself included, most people in this city can appreciate what a relatively inexpensive venue such as the proposed baseball stadium could offer Albuquerque as a city. Instead of lamenting the loss of yet another entertainment option, Rivera is envisioning the kind of community experience that this stadium might afford.

Televised execution perverse idea

Jeremy Reynalds | April 27

While April 19, 1995 started off as an ordinary day, it didn’t stay that way for very long. Just after 9 a.m., the nation was rocked to the core of its collective consciousness by a tragedy of unspeakable proportions.

Editor bids farewell; thanks readers, staff

April 27

As the 2000-2001 school year comes to a close, so does my term as editor in chief of the New Mexico Daily Lobo. This is also an end of a wonderful, four-year ride at the Daily Lobo for me. While new and exciting opportunities await me as I leave this newspaper, I will never forget the time and the people I have met here. This will always be a special place for me.

Child care deserves praise

Editor, Something wonderful happened on our campus on April 12. No, not the tuition hike or the display of unity that was the protest of the tuition raise.

Opinion

Horowitz’s point is off the mark

April 26

As a right-wing provocateur, David Horowitz has few peers. Particularly on the issue of reparations for slavery, he has managed to take a relatively obscure academic debate and make it a topic of popular discussion in several colleges and universities.

ASUNM not an accurate representation of students

Opinion

Arguments in favor of baseball stadium flawed

April 25

Editor, In Raymond Rivera’s April 9 column, “Downtown stadium is needed,” there is a pretty picture of a new and exciting Albuquerque with lots of the wonderful features of other big cities. However, Rivera’s arguments are flawed in many ways.

Slates don’t reflect all UNM students

April 25

Since this is my first year at UNM, I did not know a lot about ASUNM. Last semester, I didn’t really pay attention to the election, but this time it was impossible to ignore. Everywhere I went I was assaulted by chalked up sidewalks proclaiming The People or The Connection slates. On Election Day, we were all bombarded by handouts telling us who to vote for or were bribed with candy handouts. I was so annoyed that I decided to look into these two slates. What I found was disturbing.
