Santana show a musical mass

by Dustin Habermann Daily Lobo What is it about Carlos Santana that draws thousands of people to his shows year after year? What separates him from other artists, Latin and otherwise, that grants him the financial and artistic success that has lasted more than 30 years? For example, why do thousands pack the Journal Pavilion for Santana, whereas Ozomatli, his opening act, barely fills smaller venues such as the Sunshine Theatre? These were the questions flooding my head as I was stuck in traffic on the way to the Santana/Ozomatli show on Tuesday night at the Journal Pavilion.

COLUMN: Bush looks at the wrong issues

by Eric Howerton Daily Lobo Columnist George W. Bush is obviously confused as to what the international role of the United States really is. Rather than epitomizing Freud's questionable Thanatos - the death instinct, whose validity Freud seriously doubted after directly experiencing WWI - by demanding wars and impetuous missions that will cause unnecessary deaths, shouldn't Bush, as our questionably elected public spokesman, focus more on controlling our borders and maintaining peaceful relations with our neighbors, encouraging peaceful international relations? He should at least address the economy.

COLUMN: Self-defense class is a confidence booster

by Johnyne Barraclough Daily Lobo Guest Columnist I am a senior here at UNM and have been taking classes for four years. I never really worried about being assaulted except for when the occasional rape was reported in the local papers. Even then I only thought about it for a couple of weeks and then my mind wandered to the next issue at hand.

COLUMN: Large chain hurts small towns with pill decision

by Melissa Branson U-Wire During the summer, a friend of mine organized a protest at Wal-Mart. She was bothered that Wal-Mart refuses to sell or fill prescriptions for the morning-after pill. Their pharmacies don't even carry it. It actually shocked me that such a huge corporation would do something like that, but she assured me that she had researched it and as part of that research, tried at numerous Wal-Mart stores to obtain the medication.

Each college's individual itinerary, funding and areas of focus have contributed to their graduation numbers.

'Mile' a deep, intelligent film

There are not many films out today, just a whole lot of "flicks," full of digital effects, used and reused premises and good-looking, simple-minded actors. This is not the case with "Moonlight Mile," written and directed by Brad Silberling, whose credits include "Felicity," "City of Angels" and "Doogie Howser, M.

Punish parents for carelessness

by Rachel Richmond U-Wire If there is one thing I cannot stand in this world, it is crazy parents. I'm not talking about your run-of-the-mill, off-the-wall parents; I'm talking about the crazies. As in, the irresponsible, stupid, selfish and just plain mean parents.
