Editor, I am writing in response to the article "Group gets students to remember Sept. 11" in Monday's Daily Lobo. The article is an excellent example of how Americans still have a lack of consensus about how that day should be remembered and how it has changed the world.
Editor, Words can hardly express my gratitude to the people at the University of New Mexico for extending such gracious hospitality to the students displaced by Hurricane Katrina. My daughter is a student from Tulane University and is now a student at the University of New Mexico.
Editor, In Dane Roberts' column, "No one to blame for Katrina," he states that "liberals are filled with venom for the current administration but bereft of constructive ideas."

by Steven Fernandez Daily Lobo There aren't many familiar faces on the 2005 men's tennis team. That's because nearly half the team is composed of freshman. Assistant coach Loren Dils said despite having a whole crop of young players, he thinks this team can still be great.
by Riley Bauling Daily Lobo The senior captain on the UNM men's soccer team stopped just short of guaranteeing two home wins this weekend for the Lobos. "We haven't lost a game at home since the UNLV game my sophomore year," Brandon Moss said. "In a sense, it's almost two guaranteed wins.

by Jessica Del Curto Daily Lobo UNM student Paul Ortiz said he has somewhere between 5,000 and 6,000 records. "You name it, I've got it," he said.
