Daily Lobo: What makes this ASUNM election so important?

Nonresponse to survey implies students find new gym trivial

Editor, I was surprised and troubled by the lack of statistical detail used to justify the proposed new recreation center in yesterday's article, "Construction of new rec center could raise fees." More than 3,200 students responded to the survey on the proposed recreation center, but how many students were solicited for responses, and what could this number tell us about how important the proposition really is to students?

Students shouldn't be forced to pay for new rec center

Editor, This is an outrage: $120 million dollars for a gym next to a gym. I am a struggling undergraduate student, and I cannot afford $200 more a year. I have a child on the way, and my child should not have to pay for the gym when he or she is a student at UNM in 20 years.
