Editor, 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.
Editor, 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.
Editor, 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.
Editor, 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.
It’s funny how time has flown by so quickly this past year for me as a Daily Lobo columnist.
Just 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.
I 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.
Because 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.
It 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.
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.
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.
As you may know, the Student Union Building is undergoing a $25 million renovation project with a projected completion date of June 2002. Along with the construction project, the Student Union Building also had a major internal change.
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.
We call the world we live on Earth, but it should have been named Ocean.
Editor, Thank you once again, Jeremy Reynalds, for elucidating the mysterious ways of the Lord to the rest of us who wander in darkness without the aid of God’s counsel.
Editor, Many readers of the Daily Lobo’s Opinion section expect sustenance, a reaction to the events around us.
