Editor, I've been reading the Opinion section in the Daily Lobo since 1986, and it seems that our campus, like much of our culture, splits into three main camps. First are the traditionalists. They stand for order, purpose, one absolute truth and one code of conduct.
UNM is looking for candidates to fill two vice president positions for offices started this year. Search committees are advertising nationally for vice presidents of the offices of Enrollment Management and Inclusion and Equity.
After some last-minute angst, the UNM football team will make its second straight appearance in the New Mexico Bowl on Dec. 22. The Lobos accepted the bowl invitation at the Tow Diehm Athletic Training Facility on Monday.
Editor, As we all know, illegal immigration is a top issue in today's world. While most of the talk is about what to do with illegal immigrants already in the country, almost nothing is done about legal immigration. The process can easily take over a year to complete because there are so many applicants.
UNM Police issued warrants Monday for five people suspected of stealing library books from universities and colleges and selling them to bookstores at other campuses. The five people are part of a theft ring of as many as 12 people, said Lt. Pat Davis, UNM Police spokesman.
Editor, I've just finished my first year as a micro-lender. I lend money to business entrepreneurs in Third World countries, and I'm making a real difference in the world. For years, I asked how I could contribute, but I've also been dismayed by the lack of oversight.
Editor, I feel television is having a big impact on our culture and society. The violence on television is increasing at such an alarming rate that I am concerned for children who watch it.

Editor, Gay adoptions are discriminated against. This needs to stop. There's no reason for it. People are adopting all over the U.S., but not all of them are treated with the same respect. With some, the adoptions run smoothly and quickly, while others run into roadblocks and setbacks.
A state fire marshal order is hindering recycling efforts for the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, the department's chairman said.

It's hard to remember a college football season that has produced as many upsets as this year.
LAS CRUCES - Rebounding and ball handling were the two glaring problems for the UNM men's basketball team Tuesday in its 71-62 loss to in-state rival NMSU at the Pan American Center.. The Lobos were outrebounded by the Aggies 44-28 and committed 18 turnovers in the nine-point loss.
Editor, I begin by saying the Catholic Church is fading away. We must all admit there is a problem with the way it's headed. First of all, the Catholic Church is one of the largest churches. According to common belief, it is opposed to three things: science, birth control and gay marriage.
Editor, I think Monday's front page headline completely missed the importance and significance of the GPSA meeting. As someone in attendance, I can say what I saw warranted a completely different story and certainly a different headline. In my mind, what should have been the story was all but 10 of the 60 graduate students in an overflowing room supported a president who is being recalled by the initiative of a few.
The 2007 college football season was undoubtedly one of the most entertaining campaigns in recent memory. And it has to end like this?
by Ashleigh Sanchez Daily Lobo There is tension on the Student Fee Review Board between the presidents of UNM's student governments. ASUNM President Ashley Fate said GPSA President Joseph Garcia scheduled funding-request hearings without getting approval from the board.
Editor, I want to compliment Nahzeha Hussien for speaking out in Monday's Daily Lobo about the lack of vegetarian options at UNM. As Hussien mentions, vegetarian options are more popular than ever, particularly among college students, for reasons ranging from health and environmental concerns to the cruelty to animals involved in raising and killing them for food.
