COLUMN: Why not ask for no tuition at all?

While we here in New Mexico ease into the new legislative season, students at Queen's University in Ontario are mired in a tuition fight that's been in progress for several months. With demands to freeze tuition and drop a proposal to deregulate tuition, several dozen of these students occupied an office suite in their administration building from Jan. 15 until Jan. 18.

LETTER: Fraschilla deserves our respect, praise

Like most students, I was shocked to see that Lobo point guard Marlon Parmer had quit the men's basketball team. But I was even more shocked to see the way coach Fran Fraschilla was harshly criticized through the media.

COLUMN: U.S. needs to wake up to reality

The irony of today is as succulent as a cactus, whose spines sting us so hard even the next generation will feel it. With the Ashcrofts and Enrons of the world, we are encouraged to turn our backs and hide our faces in the sand. We promote progress as creating multi-national companies but not criticizing the driving mentality that puts profit over people, except for the CEOs such as Enron's Kenneth Lay.

LETTER: Parmer's decision to quit Lobos an act of courage

The UNM Bookstore is a monopoly. Here it is, the second week of school, and I'm still without my most important textbook. The teacher is assigning readings and we're having discussions, but I am silent through the class time. The book has been sold out for a week now, and the reorder shipment is "pending" the bookstore says. Pending what?
