Editor, While I agree with Brad Lord-Leutwyler that, for the most part, sports celebrities are not to be mistaken for heroes and that his letter should serve as a call to arms against Webster’s Dictionary — the editors advocate the synonomy of ‘ensure’ and ‘insure’ — I cannot deny the rage that springs from reading his Feb. 22 column.
Editor, I attended Phillip Johnson’s lecture on Monday and was appalled and embarrassed by the behavior of many audience members.
Editor, Between the Sigma Chi incident and the Grammy Awards incident, some major shifts have been made in the area of political correctness. As a public service to the liberal clowns on my left and the conservative jokers on my right, lets look at what we’ve learned this week.
Editor, I'm not going to comment on the evolution-creationism debate too much. I would rather comment on the atmosphere of the two presentations by Phillip Johnson and Dave Thomas.
Who is your hero? I only ask this because I have noticed a distinct lack of heroes in the world, at least the bona-fide type. I bring the whole thing up because, as is often the case, I overheard a conversation at Satellite Toys and Coffee.
Editor, In defending his tax cut, President George Bush, and Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., say it is fair because it gives something to everyone.
Monday, guest lecturer Philip Johnson, a law professor from the University of California at Berkeley, spoke for an hour in Woodward Hall about why the biology community should take the theory of “intelligent design” seriously.
Editor, I highly approve of the views expressed by Don Schrader in the Feb. 5 Daily Lobo. I would like to go one step further than he did.
Editor, I am writing to inform readers about the horrific practice of cockfighting, since previous letters to the editor claim that this is part of New Mexico’s heritage that should be upheld, not outlawed. How utterly ridiculous and completely misinformed these people are!
Twenty years ago, British metal band Venom redefined the course and nature of the heavy metal genre when it put out its debut album, Welcome To Hell.
Thank you for publishing Fernanda Ferreira's letter Monday complaining about the Bursar's Office's caustic warning to graduate students.
Craig A. Butler's Feb. 14 column, "DNA Code is a Pandora's Box," is on target when it comes to genetic discrimination. When it comes to cloning, except for the technicalities of how it's done, he has no clue.
A recent letter in the Daily Lobo on the subject of cockfighting encouraged New Mexico to join the rest of the civilized world. However, I believe New Mexico has made a name for itself by its barbaric, uncivilized nature.
I know many people must have had some kind of unpleasant experience at the Bursar's Office, but I think mine might very well be the worst, most persistent mistreatment a student can get.
On a warm evening in August, a lively crowd waving bright blue "Gore/Lieberman" signs and chanting "More with Gore" took over UNM campus
Editor, How can we stand here and say that making money in excess of what one individual can use appropriately is more important than caring for individuals with less money, opportunity and means. We must invest in human capital!
Editor, It is unbelievable to me that we have this same discussion on cockfighting in our Legislature every year. That this barbarism is allowed in New Mexico and two other states is reprehensible.
The holy war has begun. On a recent edition of the CBS program "Face the Nation," Stephen Goldsmith, picked by President Bush to head the new office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives, sounded the official call to arms.
From reading Jeremy Reynalds' column, it appears that he and Rep. Joe Thompson either have evidence the Democrats are actively perpetrating voter fraud or are simply making up a vicious lie to make their point.
While I'm glad to see Jordan Lewis of Tulane University has newfound respect for vegetarians, I believe him when he says, "I may never comprehend it," especially if his sole idea of vegetarianism is vegetable broth.
