Editor, Mercy is defined as the act of forgiving or pardoning someone for his or her wrongdoing. Furthermore, grace is defined as clemency, or an intuitive sense of right and wrong in fulfilling a punishment.

Editor, Of the 13 million children in our country who grow up in poverty, fewer than half of them will go on to graduate high school. Those that do will, on average, perform at an eighth-grade level. The existence of this achievement gap has been deemed our nation's most pressing issue.

Black History Month began Thursday at UNM with the raising of the red, black and green flag of Pan-Africanism. "The red stands for the blood our people have shed for us in our past, present and future," said Scott Carreathers, director of African-American Student Services.

The flag, along with the New Mexican and American flags, was lowered to half-staff Thursday outside Scholes Hall.

Fay Soucy Junior English It's a brilliant idea. Young people are getting pregnant and either having to get an abortion or raising a child they can't afford. Wally Bennett Freshman Pharmacy I don't know the effects of it, so I don't know if it should be prescribed or not. It could be good. ...
Editor, Like Pilate delivered Jesus to the Jews, President Bush handed Saddam Hussein over to the Shiite puppet rulers of Iraq.
