Editor, I find it interesting that Richard Wood, director of the religious studies program, in a recent guest column, basically answered my unpublished letter to the Daily Lobo about the new chairperson endowed by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. What an amazing coincidence.

Students fed up with UNM's parking situation have another option starting in the fall, a state representative said.
