I am not the type of person that makes an issue out of being a vegetarian; I don't plan to do so here. I am, however, a little disappointed that there are not more choices for vegetarians on campus.
A deficiency of intelligent self-expression exists amongst the e-generation. Problematic with our complacent consumer culture is that we have lost the skills of dialogue and of open rebellion and contempt for the establishment and for the status quo. Where have the Allen Ginsbergs gone? The John Lennons? The Janis Joplins, the Eldridge Cleavers and all the other contrarians of the formative 1960s?
President Bush asked Congress Thursday for authority to "use all means," including military force if necessary, to disarm and overthrow Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein if he does not comply quickly with United Nations demands that he abandon all weapons of mass destruction. Separately, the White House pressed reluctant allies Russia and France to support a U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing force.
First let me say that I do not necessarily believe that abstinence education will really help matters any, unless handled in a certain way, but I disagree with what Elizabeth Gross has to say.
David Yeagley, a controversial conservative American Indian, spoke to a group of students, faculty and staff at UNM's School of Law last night. He was met with a less than friendly response.

One of the most popular and prominent local bands, Feels Like Sunday, has an amazing amount of talent and humility. The band has released two albums.

Lagwagon is undeniably one of the most persevering and consistently kick-posterior punk bands to surface in the 90s. The band has compiled more than 20 tracks of catchy, emotional, funny and inspired songs for their re-issue of Let's Talk About Leftovers.
by Richard M. Berthold Daily Lobo Columnist Given what I went through last fall and how many times I was labeled a traitor or un-American or - worst - a liberal, there is a wonderful sense of irony in the fact that I was chosen to participate in the Air Force's Distinguished Educators program last July.
In an interview with the Daily Lobo, Feels Like Sunday members Joni Rhodes-Orie, Dylan Martin and Nate Smith talked about the changes that have occurred in their music. They also discussed the new challenges presented to them by the Downtown noise ordinance that has yet to be voted on.
by Elizabeth Gross U-Wire What activity do most Americans participate in that scares our government into spending hundreds of millions of our tax dollars, and yet is enjoyed daily by citizens across the nation? The little word that is free but costing us millions: sex.

When did journal entries become acceptable as poetry or advertising copy or song lyrics? Someone please tell me so I can figure out how someone like Marc Copely got a recording contract. This 20-something songwriter's debut Limited Lifetime Guarantee is awash in poor lyricism that was no doubt lifted directly from the man's battered, yet banal loose-leaf notebook.
SANTA FE - People might not single out John Horning as executive director of Forest Guardians. In short pants, sandals and untucked shirt, the 35-year-old Horning looks more like a laid-back English lit major than the passionate and committed point man for an aggressive environmental organization.
