MLK spoke out against war, not just racism
September 9Editor, The prophet Martin Luther King, Jr. refused to castrate truth into safe generalities. The FBI hounded, harassed and persecuted him because he made truth specific. He damned the Vietnam War, nuclear weapons and the evils of U.S. imperialism and capitalism.

Bombs kill the innocent, not just the fighters
September 9Editor, I am thinking of the people of Syria. I am thinking of the mother, caressing the cheek of her infant as she drifts off to sleep. I am thinking of the father, laughing as he carries his son on his shoulders.

State Republican views regressive
Brian Fejer Guest columnist | September 6Do Republicans understand that we live in a republic? Republicanism asserts that all citizens possess unalienable rights that cannot be voted away by the majority. Yet Republican Gov.

Dr. Pegs Prescription
Dr. Peggy Spencer | September 3Dear Dr. Peg, I went to the SHAC a few days ago about small bumps I noticed on my penis and pubic area. The person I saw said they were molluscum contagiosum and she used a liquid nitrogen spray to freeze them off. I had 5 bumps and now they have all increased in size, popped, and are starting to scab up, like she said they would.

Recording ethnicity can help lessen hate crimes
September 3Editor, Thanks for reporting the hate letter on the car and the earlier writing of “Sand-N*gger” on the same victim’s door at the SRCs on campus in last Wednesday’s Daily Lobo, but I noticed you did not include the race/ethnicity/religion of the victim.

Opinion
‘Elysium’ a dystopian juxtaposition
Jason Darensburg | August 28The narrative of a brutal, dystopian future is a persistent theme in science-fiction cinema. Mankind, for the most part, is portrayed as being utterly powerless to avert the inevitable post-apocalyptic nightmare that awaits us.
Opinion
Nudity is natural and can save electricity
August 28Editor, I love living naked at home and nearly naked elsewhere, when I am warm enough. My naked, lean, healthy, well-tanned body is my favorite suit. Living naked connects me to the earth.

Dr. Pegs Prescription
August 27Does this sound familiar? A round, raw-looking sore on the edge of the lip, right where the lip meets the face. You have probably seen this on someone, perhaps even on yourself.
