Once again the Senate has managed to show its ignorance and hypocrisy. When senators are running for office, such as Grant Nichols, they are constantly talking about how ASUNM needs to be more accessible to students.
Who knew classical music could make you belly laugh? This past Friday, the chamber Orchestra of Albuquerque strutted its audience-friendly performance style at the second performance of its 27th season. The concert repertoire included "Serenade for Strings in E Minor" by Sir Edward Elgar, two non-derivative pieces by Charles Ives and "Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Gwyneth Paltrow sports one of the increasingly popular Hollywood "fat suits" in the new controversial Fox release "Shallow Hal." The Farrelly Brothers' latest film explores societal notions of beauty presented atop a comic landscape.
I want to express my frustration with the way you choose to "fairly and accurately" account the daily news. The job of any journalist is to strive for objectivity when reporting on daily events. I want to commend each of the reporters for doing this, but the editor-in-chief Iliana Lim¢n, who should know better, continually refuses to do so.
The ASUNM election commission's voter outreach program is continuing as planned despite the Presidential Appointments Committee's unexpected rejection of interim election commissioner Julianita Maestas last week.
This is my third semester at UNM. I'm doing what I can to take advantage of my education - that does not, however, include anything in terms of extra-curricular activities. I go to school, go to work, study, exercise, work a total of 16 hours on Saturday and Sunday and I come home to a wonderful man I plan to marry when I'm done with school, which is where I deserve to spend my evenings.
Once again, Conceptions Southwest finds itself on uncertain ground due to the Associated Students of UNM.

I attended a Veterans Day ceremony Sunday on Lower Johnson Field with distinguished speakers such as Rep. Heather Wilson.
I want to address the inaccurate remarks made by Iliana Lim¢n against the ASUNM Senate and express my extreme displeasure in the intentionally misleading manner in which she has selfishly presented the fee increase to UNM students.
"Phenomenal Woman," which is the title of one Maya Angelou's better known poems, does not even begin to describe the voice that will resonate through Popejoy Hall Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
As a proud advertiser of the Daily Lobo, I was disheartened to hear that the ASUNM Senate wants to, once again, cut back on funding to one of UNM's finest creations - its daily newspaper.
Editor, The terrorist attack on Sept. 11 reminded us of the true value of freedom. The principle of due process of law, innocence until proven guilty and other liberties are the bulwark of that freedom. The freedom we enjoy is not to be abridged unless an independent court of law, dedicated to a government of laws and not of men, is convinced "beyond a reasonable doubt" that an alleged law violator actually is a law violator.
I feel utterly compelled to respond to the wildlife preserves column by Paula Moore and Carla Bennett. It seems time and time again People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) comes out and throws itself behind a cause in which it seamlessly finds a way to bring up its goal of ending hunting and fishing. The column states so many egregious errors in reference to hunting and fishing it is ridiculous.
Though appearances may be to the contrary, activist life does still thrive outside of protests. Protests generally attract the most attention, but there are other aspects of activism that are at least as important to this whole changing the world thing.
First-year students in the UNM School of Medicine paid tribute to 24 people who donated their bodies for use in anatomy classes during a Sunday memorial service at Alumni Chapel.
Editor, My two letters on 500 years of U.S. atrocities to Native Americans were published in the Oct. 24 and Oct. 25 editions of the Daily Lobo. Each time my estimated figures for the number of native people on this continent at the time of first European contact were changed to a much lower figure.
Moore, a freshman, helped lead the Lobos to the second round of the WNIT. She shot 12-of-21 from the field for 30 points and dished out 15 assists.
The triangle offense was prevalent in The Pit on Sunday, with both UNM and Colorado University running the system as its main offensive set. But there was a major difference - one team ran it well, while the other team looked confused in the new system.
It was a fairy tale weekend for the UNM men's soccer team, which pulled off three upsets in the conference tournament to win the championship and clinch its first NCAA Tournament bid in school history.
