by Alex Roosenburg Cavalier Daily (U. Virginia) U-Wire The Supreme Court announced last Tuesday that it will intervene in a dispute concerning free speech on the Internet.

by Lee Cornell Daily Lobo The UNM men's soccer team had mixed reactions to the announcement of its seeding in the NCAA tournament at Coaches Sports Grill on Monday afternoon. Cheers went up amongst the team as the Lobos' name appeared, but they quickly subsided as the players and coaches realized they would be taking to the road to face Bradley University in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Staff Report Researchers from UNM's Cancer Research and Treatment Center are collaborating with computational linguists from NMSU and Sandia National Laboratories on an innovative "smart" computer system that will speed up the process of analyzing volumes of data in new genetic research.
Editor, It's sad to hear that an "overzealous" health inspector had the power to shut down the only decent food source on the UNM campus. Due to the closure of the SUB, there are limited places to find a decent meal on campus. As a hungry student, I often depended on the food that "Boss Man" had to offer.
Funding for UNM could increase in 2004 after a state education committee voted 10-1 Friday to change the model used by legislators to determine funding for New Mexico universities and colleges.

Construction of two components of the new Cornell Parking Garage have been delayed because of a difference in the project's original budget estimate and a new estimate conducted after the project was put out to bid.

by Sam Stein The Dartmouth (Dartmouth College) U-Wire It was 1994, and I was sitting in the second tier of my high school's auditorium. I remember it distinctly because the whole event was so comical. In front of me were the three candidates running for eighth grade class president, each candidate unique in their own regard.
Somewhere inside even the most cynical of us is the hope that all people have someone out there for them - "Secretary" does a valiant job of upholding that dream.

The Student Fee Review Board's town hall meeting, billed as an open forum for students to voice concerns about departmental fund allocation, turned out to be a missed opportunity for UNM students. Two students attended the Monday night meeting in Dane Smith Hall, which broke down the fee, included in tuition, paid by each UNM student.
Editor, I couldn't agree more with the letter from Scott Darnell, Louis Metzger IV and Wayne Schlingman. If nothing else, you have proved their point by adding a headline that completely misses the point! It's not just that the published columns present only one point of view - it's that your editorial practices and policies as a whole are biased and unprofessional.
by Sari Krosinsky Daily Lobo columnist In trying to think of a title for a short story I'm working on, I did an Internet search for the word "messiah." This produced some interesting results. In addition to the Catholic Encyclopedia entry - the most useful of my results - and sites for a number of churches, the search came up with two sites that seemed a bit, well, out of place.
Say real hip-hop. Say it and think of Chali 2na shaking hands and signing autographs with concert-goers who stood in line for hours on a cold night. Say it and think of B-girls and B-boys breaking on the floor of the Sunshine Theater while a diverse crowd anticipated the Jurassic 5's entrance.
