I wish to express my condolences to the lower division undergraduates of this august institution. If some are correct, your poor darlings can be lead astray with a few words in an off-the-cuff remark.

They probably also believe that you are all non-smoking, non-drinking virgins.

Junior Blaire Burns is one of five returning players from last year's UNM volleyball team. She decided to return to the team after former head coach Laurel Brassey Iversen was fired, but six players left the program.
Professor Berthold's actions and opinions are an outrage. Not only should we have him fired, but his tongue also should be removed so that his dangerous opinions cannot infect any more ears in our population.
The embarrassment continues. Mr. Berthold is certainly entitled to his opinion, but it is inappropriate to use the canopy of tenure and academic freedom to provide immunity from being held accountable. He has used this shield successfully for the last 29 years and only apologized for his actions when it became apparent that someone might actually hold him responsible for his actions.
