A 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
I’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.
Under a proposed new federal medical "privacy" rule, government control over our medical records could be a lot closer than we think, and we only have until March 30 to offer our comments to the government.
I enjoyed reading Laura Valdez’s Thursday column titled, “Colonized, oppressed people are trapped,” in the Daily Lobo.
These days, there is a major problem with common sense. Its absence in American society is disturbing; it seems as if people have dispensed with common sense in order to avoid offending anybody.
There’s a pack of guard dogs in an industrial lot that loyally guard their area. Their owner must feed them enough to nourish them but not enough to satisfy their hunger. They always look ravenous and ready to eat you up.
As 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.
I 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.
Please 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.
Editor, 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.
Editor, After reading Sen. Grant Nichols letter on Monday, I couldn’t help but think of some questions that may need to be considered by the UNM community.
By now, almost everyone on college campuses throughout the nation has heard about David Horowitz's views on why reparations should not be made to African-Americans for slavery.
Editor, Once again Jeremy Reynalds displayed his intolerance for other people's opinions.
NEW YORK — If you listen to President Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, the United States Army is a mess. Recruitment and morale are plummeting, and even the modest pay increase proposed by the Bush budget might not cushion the fall.
Editor, It is no surprise that the current ASUNM Senate is trying to cut the funding of the only real source of free speech on this campus and in this college community.
David Horowitz has been traveling across the United States, electronically that is, buying advertisements in college newspapers just like the Daily Lobo, but not actually in the newspaper. Horowitz's ad is designed to look like an article, titled, "Ten reasons why reparations for Slavery is a bad idea - and racist too."
