Lobos need more than statistics

If you look at the box score from the UNM women's basketball team's victory over Mississippi State University, you won't find much mention of Tiffany Scaglione, Cristal Garcia or The Pit. What they bring to the table isn't measured by statistics. The two players and one arena scored two points, two points and zero points respectively.

UNM promotes campus safety, awareness of war

Letter; Lobo too negative in Greek coverage

Editor, For years now I have noticed a trend that the Daily Lobo practices. The trend is to print mainly negative stories about the Greek System. Yes, I have occasionally seen positive stories about the men and women in fraternities and sororities. I also understand that writing stories on community service, the high GPA of Greeks, or even campus involvement may be quite boring, but at least then a fair and true representation would show all aspects of Greek life.

COLUMN: Gaining trust of Iraqis not easy

by Sean Misko Daily Collegian (Pennsylvania State U.) (U-WIRE) UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Far from the scripted “shock and awe” promised by military planners, the first official shots of the U.S.-led war with Iraq were brief and took many experts by surprise.

COLUMN: Media labels war protesters

by Jen Kosakowski Daily Targum (Rutgers U.) (U-WIRE) NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — It has become increasingly obvious to me in recent weeks that there has been a surge in writings that vilify and invalidate the anti-war activist. There has never been much tolerance for dissent in this nation, but the proliferation and escalation of such rhetoric and its attempts to disengage anti-war activists should be questioned.

Jucifer new brand of musical blends

The M.C. Hammer mentality that says a music group needs more than 10 members to succeed doesn't apply to the rock/metal/grunge duo Jucifer. In fact, the two, who are actually a married couple, do just fine on their own. Their new album I Name You Destroyer proves exactly that.

CROSSWORD

Fan loyalties silence artists' opinions

What is the artist's role in today's society, especially in the United States after Sept. 11 and now the war with Iraq? I don't know and it seems to me that many artists don't really know either.
