Toulouse unaware of senators’ difficult job

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.

Friedman has no evidence that extra-terrestrials exist

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.

Media tycoon's comments insensitive, but who cares?

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.

Editor, The Associated Students of UNM Senate passed amendment 5B not because it wanted to punish the Daily Lobo, but because we want to put $38,000 of unused student fees back into the hands of student groups and organizations.

Youth's punishment fits committed crime

Editor, In response to Jason Gil Bear's letter "Justice system fails teenager with life sentence," it is not the justice system or the WWF that is to blame in this situation. The only thing to blame is the failure of a capable 12-year-old's judgment.

Ecstasy's `benign, fun' image distorts its effects

Ecstasy use in the United States is growing at an alarming rate. Originally found only at raves or dance clubs, ecstasy has infiltrated Middle America. Just recently, Matthew Perry of the hit TV series "Friends" entered drug rehabilitation, claiming that ecstasy was one of several drugs he had problems with.

Christians feel Turner's roar

It appears that CNN founder Ted Turner, well-known for his outrageous anti-Christian statements, just can't help himself. You'd think that branding Christianity as a religion for losers would be enough, but, after an all-too-brief hiatus, Ted's back in the saddle again singing his same old song.
