Editor, I am so tired of the blatant hypocrisy Americans live with every day. Why is it that all the anti-war demonstrations around the country are now being confronted by counter-protesters supporting the war, shouting slogans like, "Traitors," "You dishonor our dead," or "Support our troops and President Bush.
ASUNM met for an emergency session Wednesday and passed two election reform bills aimed at increasing voter turnout for the student government's elections.
Matthew Duran Sophomore Political science No, because it's not that hard just to show up to the polls and write in who you want. That's what I've done the last few elections. It's not that hard. Nichole Wilson Freshman Health sciences Yes, because I am in (ASUNM) Lobo Spirit, and I feel that ...
Editor, There have been some letters in the Daily Lobo recently with an old argument attempting to morally justify homosexuality. This argument states that because animals naturally practice homosexuality, then homosexuality must be natural, and thus OK. I am not denying that homosexuality occurs in nature, and there have been many documented cases which clearly illustrate this.
After qualifying two athletes for regionals in their opening meet, the Lobos will try to improve on that success this weekend. The UNM track and field outdoor season continues today in Los Angeles at USC's Trojan Invitational.
David Schmidly, UNM's next president, said the University's student and campus employees could alleviate parking problems by walking more. "I'm a walker," he said. "I try to walk everywhere I can. I try to lead by example."
Editor, It has long been debated that textbook prices are too high. I believe they are overpriced, but to say that not buying used textbooks will help bring the overall price of new textbooks down is ludicrous. In a country of big businesses, hasn't anyone noticed that the price of a product does not go down even when the cost of producing a product goes down? Does anyone wonder where that money goes? The money goes to the big businesses that make the product, obviously.
The UNM men's basketball team officially announced Steve Alford as its new head coach today, signing the former Iowa Hawkeye head coach to a six-year deal.
The UNM men's tennis season just keeps getting better. With last Friday's upset of No. 18 Minnesota, the Lobos jumped 19 spots in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings to land at No. 40 in a poll released Tuesday.
Just because Arizona is the defending national champion doesn't mean the Lobos are intimidated by the Wildcats. The UNM softball team will take on No. 5 Arizona this weekend in Tucson, Ariz., in a three-game series.
When something has to be mixed in a channel that is measured in micrometers, it's complicated. Liquids in a microscopic channel can't be mixed by shaking them up like gin and vermouth in a martini, said Dimiter Petsev, assistant professor in chemical and nuclear engineering.
Editor, Throughout the history of civilization, people have always been diverse in their economic status and lifestyle. As the saying goes, "The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike." It is seen as ordinary that some are poor and others are rich. However, with the many breakthroughs of the modern age and the degree of economic and political maturity that the world has reached, it would seem like we could prevent the less fortunate members of society from so much suffering.
A toy airplane caused a bomb scare at Johnson Center on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. after it crashed through a window on the roof and into a yoga class, said Lt. Pat Davis, UNM Police spokesman.
Editor, I live on campus in the SRCs. Tuesday morning while I was doing some yoga, a cockroach scuttled across the carpet in my bedroom, two inches from my face. I calmly paused my yoga video and got what my roommates and I call "the cockroach catcher" - a designated cup and piece of cardboard we use to catch the roaches so we can take them outside to kill them with Raid.
While you were gone over break, as you have no doubt noticed, spring sprang out in full force - warm temperatures, flowering trees and, of course, pollen. The juniper count increased five-fold over spring break and is now being joined by other flowering trees. So if you're sneezing, coughing, running and dripping, join the crowd.
Editor, I'm writing in response to Jeffrey Bullard's letter in Monday's Daily Lobo, in which he criticizes KUNM's "Street Beat" hip-hop show for playing songs with offensive lyrics. We do have policies that prohibit the use of indecent language, except during the "safe harbor" period, after 10 p.
Long before Dunkin' Donuts and Little Debbie, Latino families were perfecting the art of making pastries. Flour, eggs and heaps of sugar were whipped together to produce breads, cookies and cakes - confections to complement a morning cup of cafe con crema or an afternoon snack.
House Bill 384 gets the ball rolling to increase compensation and benefits for part-time faculty at New Mexico colleges and universities, said Democratic Rep. Danice Picraux, who introduced the bill. The bill passed in the House and Senate but has not been signed by Gov. Bill Richardson.
"Eye to I," an exhibit of female artists' works, fulfills the viewer like a hearty three-course dinner. The women use the concept of self-portraiture to define and disassemble themselves. They span their flaws and perfections, embrace or challenge their gender, explore their sexual roles within their cultures and remark upon the absurdity of it all.
When El-P got his start in hip-hop, the world was a different place. Never mind the label he helped bring to prominence, Rawkus Records, suffering its demise, or his group Company Flow splitting due to artistic differences, the primary catalyst for El-P's shift in tone was Sept. 11, 2001.
