Association sponsors Lobo, candidate debate
April 2As a student in a diverse range of student organizations, I have seen the concern toward ASUNM Bill 5B. I attended the Senate meeting where Daily Lobo representatives and Sen. Grant Nichols gave both sides regarding the future of the Daily Lobo’s funding
Bill threatens independent voice
April 2Editor, As someone who has spent two terms in UNLV’s student Senate and two years editing the Rebel Yell student newspaper, I consider it a grave misunderstanding what’s going on at UNM.
Newspaper funding bill is not a free speech issue
April 2A number of letters have been printed in the Daily Lobo’s Opinion section during the past few days regarding ASUNM Senate Bill 5B. Some of them have had very valid points and/or questions that need to be answered, but the majority have been off the real issue and have been used only to slight the image of the ASUNM Senate
Ignorance and poverty are true forms of oppression
March 30I’d like to know exactly what circumstances in Laura Valdez’s life constitute “oppression.” She is employed at a university filled with upwardly mobile, educated and diverse Hispanic students. She has a job and a guaranteed right to free speech and liberty.
Say no to medical privacy rule

Bad editing in Groobees’ review irritating to read
March 29As a former copy editor, I was appalled to see Iliana Lim¢n’s otherwise fantastic review of the Groobees on March 6 short-changed by poor editing. It was clear that a spell-check and not a human was used to edit that article.
Toulouse unaware of senators’ difficult job
March 29I am writing in response to Jeremy Toulouse’s letter on Tuesday, “Lobo funding cut highlights the Senate’s inexperience.” Mr. Toulouse, after reading your response, it is clear to me that you either misunderstood Sen. Nichols’ letter or are fully unaware of the work the ASUNM senators do for the UNM campus.
Friedman has no evidence that extra-terrestrials exist
March 29Please stop reporting on what Stanton T. Friedman says about UFOs and “aliens.” He is not a nuclear physicist and has never provided proof of ever being one, nor can you find any real physicists who know of him working in that field.
Media tycoon's comments insensitive, but who cares?
March 28Editor, I just read Jeremy Reynalds' Friday column, with major confusion, about Ted Turner's supposedly inflammatory remarks. I find it completely astonishing that one man's statements could result in not only an entire article in a student newspaper, but mass media coverage, also.
