I am writing in regard to a grave affliction that has pervaded this campus for quite some time now and has overstayed its welcome.

It's the time of the year when chalk acronyms blight the sidewalks of UNM urging passing students to vote for some anonymous group of Senate candidates over another equally poorly known slate.

Besides electing ASUNM representatives and approving legislation, students voting in Wednesday's election can consider what types of food they would like to eat when the SUB reopens in the fall.
On Monday, we were reading the Daily Lobo Opinion page when we came upon the editorial written by Iliana Lim¢n addressing Amendment One. We were dismayed about what was written concerning ASUNM Senate not representing the majority of UNM students.
