Letter: Cut recreation to ease tuition costs

March 28

Once again, as the school year is coming to an end, there are tuition increases to look forward to. During my time at UNM it seems that every year tuition and student fees are increasing because of football coaches, IT needs, infrastructure, or less money from Santa Fe. Instead of raising student costs, the University should focus on its primary goal of being an institution of education.

Letter: Pro-life movement stands against violence

March 28

It is important that subpoenas for the names of faculty, students and staff at UNMHSC and Southwestern Women’s Options who are involved in potentially unlawful fetal research be supported by our community. This is an internal congressional investigation, and the names of the people involved will be given to the congressional panel, an extension of the government. Avoiding the release of these records is not unlike telling the FBI you’re not going to comply with handing over the names of people you know so that you can protect them from any violations of the law that they are being investigated for. The names will never be disclosed until after the investigation is complete and someone is found guilty.

Letter: Europe needs international intelligence agency

March 28

If there is now a vitally necessary path to world government, it is this: The recent bombings in Brussels reveal a dismal lack of sharing of intelligence among easily crisscrossed Europe’s various, mutually stand-offish spy agencies and police forces, with their turf wars much in the manner of jurisdictions among fire trucks from different towns when there is a big wildfire, with one chief telling another who is offering help, “Don’t bother joining forces; we can handle it.” Europe does not even have anything like the FBI to transcend boundaries and surveil.
