Editor, Attempting to defend the terror detainee bill signed by President Bush on Tuesday, Sen. John McCain, who is endorsing Rep. Heather Wilson in her race against Attorney General Patricia Madrid, admitted the CIA likely violated procedures related to torture, outlawed by this bill.
Editor, I am writing in response to Ronnie Garcia's letter in Thursday's Daily Lobo. I think Garcia misunderstands why some of us don't want fraternities on our campus. It is not that the University is forcing fraternities off campus because of stereotypes that students or administrators may believe, but instead, because of the stereotypes that fraternity members have about society - that is, their ideas of what it is to be masculine and heterosexual.
The University of Nevada-Las Vegas would not be defeated as easily the second time around. The No. 12 UNM men's soccer team needed an overtime goal to beat UNLV 1-0 one week after the Lobos defeated the Rebels 4-1 in Las Vegas.
David Hilliard, former chief of staff for the Black Panther Party, celebrated the 40th anniversary of the party's founding during a reception for a photo exhibit in the SUB on Sunday. The display includes pictures of party members escorting an elderly woman to an appointment and registering people to vote.
Editor, I am writing in response to the article by Caleb Fort about fraternities in Wednesday's Daily Lobo. In this article, one of the people interviewed, Bryan Deshayes, explained how great for him it was to join a fraternity. After this explanation, Deshayes described two cases of rape, the hazing of a blind student, the suspension of three fraternities and the probation of another - and there are only 11 fraternities - as "a few problems.
UNM law professor Jennifer Moore said she is doing what she can to help people affected by genocide, and that includes running for Darfur in the Duke City Marathon. Students and faculty members from UNM's law school participated in the marathon Sunday to raise money and awareness about the genocide in Darfur, a region of Sudan.
The UNM football team, at least for one game, turned around its second-half woes.
Many of UNM's computer systems will be down for maintenance Sunday.
Editor, Deanna Delgado courageously put an unpopular view in clear sight of predictable criticism. A no-vote is obviously a vote against the state of American politics. The political climate is fraught, corruption is endemic and the will of industry has been accommodated to an obscene degree.
Editor, The Dean of Students Office is advising the campus community and campus visitors that Justice For All, an anti-abortion organization, will have an outdoor exhibit that includes graphic photographs on Smith Plaza, south of Zimmerman Library, Monday through Wednesday.
Nicole Steele Freshman University studies I think they should actually be allowed on campus, just because I think they are kind of displaying their own point of view and their own beliefs. RaShawn Jackson Junior University studies I'm against abortion, but I think them demonstrating is necessary. ...
The government may be afraid of political scandals, bad press and low approval ratings, but linguist Otto Santa Ana said the U.S. government has something else on that list: Hispanics.
Editor, Republicans claim the economy is operating on overdrive, and the proof they use to justify this absurd claim is the Dow Jones industrial average, which is at record highs. Why don't the Democrats respond and tell Americans the truth about the incompetent economic policies of President Bush and his cadre? The Bush administration is not concerned with the prosperity of any Americans other than itself and those that donate money to preserve its power.
Editor, I am writing in response to Victor B. Murthy's letter in Wednesday's Daily Lobo. I find his calling nonvoting "regressive and apathetic" quite saddening. I suppose if Murthy was in Boston during the late 1700s, he would be ranting against the patriotic men throwing tea into the sea and demanding more time to work with the corrupt British government at the time.
Editor, When I read Joe Buffaloe's column about the latest "South Park" episode, which poked fun at the 9/11 Truth Movement, I had to laugh. There is nothing even close to conservatism being practiced anywhere in the political spectrum in this country. The Republicans Buffaloe referred to are radical extremists whose policies can in no way be considered conservative.
Nick Arguelles was a couple days away from making his debut as a UNM cross country runner.
Although she won't turn 21 years old until May, she still walks into bars and clubs without a problem.
Editor, In Tuesday's issue of the Daily Lobo, Lucia Fronterotta took issue with UNM's decision to close Zia Lot and Parking and Transportation Services' justification for doing so. In objecting to the decision, Fronterotta alluded to several common misconceptions about UNM's shuttle system.
