Editor If 65% of Daily Lobo readers believe the Commander In Chief of the US Armed Forces lied to start a war, I hope they have the courage to stand up and do something about it. For over a week I have been following the report that US Forces used Chemical Weapons against Iraqis in last years territorial ...
by Steven Fernandez Daily Lobo If anyone doubted the women's basketball team belonged in the top 25, the Lobos proved them wrong Wednesday night. No. 10 Minnesota (4-1) came into The Pit and left with a 62-44 thrashing from No. 21 New Mexico (6-1). The Lobos dominated in all phases of the game, and came out with one of the biggest victories in program history.
In regards to Cali Garcia's letter about "politically incorrect" holidays, I just think that this is one of the most foolish, insensitive articles that I've ever read on the Daily Lobo. She must hate freedom because of her strong opposition to celebrating Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. What's so "politically ...
This letter is addressed to the American Mainstream Media, the US Congress, and the Bush Administration.We address this to you. The three of you who now are engaged in a political blame game and shuffle regarding the war in Iraq, and more importantly how we got there. Many of us blame all three of ...
"Hey, did you get the memo about teaching in the spring?" "No, what'd it say?" "Well, the good news is that there are plenty of open positions for us. With the tough new English 102 curriculum, there are going to be a lot more students having to repeat the class in the spring. On top of that, of ...
John Bear comes off like a whining fool in his editorial on the iPod jacket. After wasting the first column of his article talking about how hard it was to get the jacket to work (the only part of the article that was actually relevant, by the way), he proceeds to waste the second column of his article ...
by Abel Horwitz Daily Lobo You can call punk rock a lot of things, just don't call it heartless. On Friday night the Launchpad is hosting a benefit show as a thank-you to the under-21 crowd who stood up to Mayor Chavez's proposal to stop all-ages shows.
There once was a Day! There once was a special day people called Christmas. December 25 was chosen in 336 AD so that Christians could celebrate the birth of a special little boy. They chose this day because it was also the day of Saturnalia (a pagan holiday). Why this day? There are many guesses, ...
The infamous remarks of Air Force football coach Fisher DeBerry are obviously stereotypical and not based on fact. However, in her delayed reaction to his comments, Michelle Touson revealed some personal stereotypes that are equally unacceptable. In the quoted text of coach DeBerry, he at no point ...
Vandalism is a severe problem here on the UNM campus. The worst of it is in the men's bathroom in Mitchell Hall. Also, when I use the restroom at CSEL, I always see a written conversation on one of the bathroom stalls. Why can't some people keep their opinions to themselves? If these people want to ...
Editor, I was in the Frontier for breakfast and picked up the Lobo an Alumni of UNM. I was appalled by the indifference ,ignorance and lack of respect to members of our community and sacred lands.

by Eva Dameron Daily Lobo Circus Luminous is a dream come true - literally. "The whole show is this imaginary dream life of a clown," said Acushla Bastible, the show's director. "She imagines she becomes part of this big circus, and she's able to do all these tricks.
Dear Editor, I would like to bring up a flaw with our parking regulations. Why is it that we are required to supply the make, model, color, and licence plate of our vehicles to the parking department in order to get a parking permit, and they only use that information to bill us when we are in violation ...
Louis Caldera who? The name sounds familiar, but I definitely wouldn't recognize him if I saw him on campus. Maybe if he had an entourage of administrative officials and honored guests I could deductively guess who the man in the suit is. As long as I have attended this campus, almost three ...
Dane Roberts speaks of "the impossibility of standardizing our public schools" and believes "the state shouldn't assume the task of defining how or what each kid should learn." Roberts imagines an ideal world in which "principals could choose teachers who match their educational beliefs. And teachers ...
Editor, The Daily Lobo article last week on UNM challenging water fines was rather enlightening. On the contrary to what the Director of the Physical Plant says, I have noticed frequent water waste on this campus since I began working here, not just "on occasion" as she claims. One need only walk along ...
Editor, The cause of male violence is not too much testosterone. The cave drawings in Europe made 5,500 to 9,500 years ago show a more peaceful way of living with relatively few scenes of men raping or killing.
