Role-playing games not just for basement dwellers

Dungeons and Dragons. You’ve probably heard that name before. But what is it? Could you describe it? More than likely, you summon the stock image of fat, sweaty ‘neckbeards’ sitting in a basement together. But what are they actually doing down there? There are a few names for it.

5-12 P Letter

Editor, I was very disappointed to learn that President Frank failed to honor an agreement that he made with the ASUNM and GPSA presidents and removed over $5 million of student fees from the purview of the Student Fee Review Board without their knowledge. I think it shows a tremendous amount of disrespect ...

Professor sets example for students, faculty alike

Editor, I want to thank UNM professor David Correia for being out on the front lines of social progress for us in the community. As an alumnus of UNM, it makes me proud to see one of my fellow faculty leading the movement for justice.

Parking spots encourage us to destroy environment

Editor, At great risk of losing popularity, and in response to your May 7 front page article entitled “ASUNM parking summit gives drivers a voice,” let me suggest that rather than adding more parking spaces at UNM, we need fewer.

Decisions are made in the best interest of UNM

Editor, The job of the University President is to guide and represent the University and look out for its well-being in a financially, academically and socially conscious way. Sometimes I have to make unpopular decisions.

President Frank’s dilution of power doesn’t benefit anyone

Editor, We are writing with extreme concern about President Bob Frank’s plans to induct a new Student Cabinet. We support increased student participation in important decision-making. In fact, this issue has been at the forefront of our demands to make the administration accountable to student concerns.

An open letter to UNM President Robert Frank

First, I want to say how proud and encouraged I am by the students who have formed #OurUNM. They are trailblazers who have chosen to look corporate greed in the eye and ask for an accounting. Right now, they are the only reason I am proud to be a Lobo.

Protesters are vilified, but violence stems from police

In response to today’s headline, “Protesters hijack City Council meeting:” When will the media stop portraying protesters exercising their civil rights as terrorists? And in response to other media accounts that have described the meeting as “descending into chaos:” What is “chaos” and what is “order?”

Students' condemnation of Israel born of ignorance

There is apparently an interesting paradox at the University of New Mexico. On the one hand, a group of students without understanding of the Middle East and the majority of whom have never been there have decided to divest from the State of Israel. The groups are deciding the ‘correct’ borders for the democratic, successful economy of the Jewish State of Israel.

Reviews are from actor’s perspective

There’s that platitude that tells us to dance like no one’s watching. I write as if no one’s reading. This is not to say that I write without consequence or responsibility. On the contrary, integrity as a writer is the single most important thing to me.

Israel divestment issue shrill on both sides

Editor, If I were to wonder why this publication gives voice to people who are as far out of touch with reality as your most recent letter regarding GPSA’s divestment decision, would I be taking political discourse on this campus too seriously?

Dr. Pegs Prescription

It is that time of year: finals looming, papers bearing down, projects hanging overhead. You are probably neglecting your health, forgoing sleep, exercise and healthy eating as you gear up for the end. Am I right?

Distaste for GPSA decision doesn’t justify paranoia

Editor, I am writing this in response to Elisheva H. Levin’s letter titled “GPSA has no right to dictate foreign policy.” There are several premises in her letter that are simply wrong, starting with the idea that students (as represented by GPSA) are somehow dictating foreign policy.
