COLUMN: Jackson cries for attention

by Scott Darnell Daily Lobo Columnist More than 20 million people watched Michael Jackson's recent interview on ABC; it was a monstrous hit in England and the United States and such an event, centered around such an unusual person begs many questions, the most principle of which is: why did Jackson partake in the interview in the first place?

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.

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.

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.

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.
