LETTER: Diverse opinions on war fully appreciated

Editor, Your paper has long been called the "Daily Liberal," and for good reason. However, if I complain when you are one-sided in your focus, I must thank you when you are not. Last week, you published several items that convey the other side of the coin in regards to the crisis in Iraq.

LETTER: Challenging leaders not 'anti-American'

Editor, When I read Ms. Slayton's opinion in your Friday, Jan. 31, issue, I did a bit of a double take. Can it be that even after the shock and horror of Sept. 11 has dissipated and most of Americans hearts and minds are coming back into balance that there are some people still so terrified and so blind, that they are incapable of thinking about an issue or a president with some skepticism and depth? I too read Terry Mulcahy's opinion, and I had a very different reaction.

She will be at UNM this Wednesday and Thursday at the Arts Technology Center, on Los Lomas and at Rodey Theatre in the UNM Center for the Arts.

LETTER: Students will miss out on Trewhitt's expertise

Editor, I am a University of New Mexico journalism graduate and former Lobo staffer. I was lucky enough to have had the privilege of knowing and learning from Professor Hank Trewhitt. I remember first meeting him in a public affairs writing class and thinking, "How did the University land this guy?" Of course, that was before I knew that he was a "home-grown hero," so to speak.
