Over the summer a lot of students took trips by airplane to visit relatives, return home, go on vacations and whatever else took them across the country and the world. All of them passed through the new and improved security at America's airports.

During the past two spring semesters a random sample of UNM faculty and students have had the opportunity to participate in a nationally conducted survey regarding the General Library's (GL) collections and services.

Letter: Bush's enthusiasm misleading

Once again, I have to really question the words that come out of our illustrious president's mouth. Last week I heard a news clip from Dubya's economic summit. Bush was quoted as saying he was confident of an economic upswing. His optimism is based on his strong belief in the spirit of our nation's people and the fruits of their labor.

LETTER: Phrase 'Under God' in pledge is harmful

Editor, In the Lobo, Stephanie Neubeck wrote, "I, personally, have never heard of a law requiring all American citizens to say the Pledge of Allegiance. In all the schools I have ever attended . . . I have never been forced to say the pledge." Actually, half of the states now require the pledge as part of the school day and half a dozen more recommend it.

'Blue Crush' worth the ticket price

Surfing hugely dangerous waves in Hawaii? Yeah, we girls kicked that ass. Or so we prove in "Blue Crush," a movie that came at the end of summer, but keeps the tingling, relaxing feeling that the days of June and July bring.
