LETTER: Bush, Hussein expend lives

Editor, I hope I am not the only person who is offended by George Bush's self-righteous indignation when he asserts that Saddam Hussein is using the people of Iraq as human shields -- treating them as expendable. This is an interesting statement coming from the spokesperson of a regime that is directly responsible for the deaths of over a half million Iraqi civilians, most of whom are children, resulting from the sanctions placed upon Iraq over ten years ago.

Presidential search counts 80 candidates

Staff Report Reg. Larry Willard said that the presidential search committee is continuing to narrow down its list of candidates for the next president of the University. The committee met Thursday in a nearly three-hour long closed session and Willard said that there are still about 80 candidates.

LETTER: People who eat meat deprive others of food

Editor, If we treat animals like animals, can we treat hypocrites like hypocrites? After reading Eric Howerton's column, I sort of picture him as a savage, tearing meat from a bone with his teeth, with blood running down his chin, dressed in furs, and petting his dog now and again.

LETTER: U.S. violating rights of Middle Eastern citizens

Editor, In just over one week, I may be facing a nightmare. My partner will have to go register with the INS because this country has decided to violate his civil rights. Just because he happens to be from Pakistan. Now, if that particular agent he sees happens to be having a bad day, he could very well likely be deported back to Pakistan.

Student activist staunchly stands for several causes

With his short hair, plaid shirt and wire-rimmed glasses, soft-spoken Trey Smith seems an unlikely leader of student peace activists. But that is the idea.

LETTER: UNM should offer Chicana/o Studies

Editor, While I find the editorial debates surrounding Chicana/o Studies intriguing, at the same time I find them quite disturbing. In the past week, both Chicana/o and non-Chicana/o students, alumni and community members have exerted pressures on the University to rework the internal and external faults of Chicana/o Studies and the University's responsibility to Chicana/o students.

that crazy thing

by Jacque Oldfield and Amanda Jackson Daily Lobo Love is easily the most notorious condition known to man. Throughout time, no higher good or greater evil deeds have been done in the name of love. Resistance is futile and no one is immune. Unrequited, ill-advised or uninhibited, people can't seem to avoid falling in.

Listen Hard proves pop stardom overrated

If emotional, erotic and ear-appeasing tunes are your thing, than Melissa Ferrick's new album Listen Hard may just be your ticket to aural ecstasy. The album is the ninth release that the acoustic-guitar Girl Wonder has put out in the last 10 years -- pretty impressive according to my calculations.
