LETTER: Strip club ads an insult to women and UNM

Editor, Has our school opened a new department for strip clubs such as TD’s and Fantasy World, so that they can advertise on an entire page of the Daily Lobo and welcome us back to school? Is this an attractive way to adorn the cover page of a university newspaper that people look at as a hallmark of what is going on? Are we so down in money and funding Daily Lobos that we are only one step away from the out-loud porn ads? These ads keep the money going, true, but what about the ethics — or is that an old subject and belongs to the past? I believe being supported by the above mentioned clubs and printing their ads consistently in the Daily Lobo is not only an insult to all the women at UNM, but also defies the purpose of a university as an advocate of an educational organization.

Flaming Lips spits out new serene masterpiece

Everyone’s doing retro pop these days. The ’60s are long gone, but pop from that era is all over the place. But left out of that is psychedelic pop — that LSD-fueled sub-genre that Pink Floyd started out in before building The Wall. Leave it to The Flaming Lips to make sure that psychedelic pop is represented.

Record year for lottery scholarships

LETTER: Pledge not in need of revision since it does not violate laws

COLUMN: ASUNM columnists to keep students updated

COLUMN: Only we can change the fate of TV

by Bill Ferguson Knight Ridder-Tribune Just when you think our collective morality has hit bottom, the floor gives way and you find that we've fallen down another floor. I got that familiar sinking feeling once again when I heard about the new reality show on the E! Network starring former stripper and Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith.

Students welcomed to campus

UNM will sponsor a record number of new international students this fall semester. And, in an attempt to make those new students feel welcome, University President F. Chris Garcia played host during an ice cream social at University House. "It makes me feel special," said Loreto Catoira, a first-year doctoral student from Spain.

LETTER: Reality is not pristine, why should the student newspaper be any different

Editor, To all those whining about the TD's ads in the Lobo, I have to be blunt and say grow up. There is such a thing as free speech in America. Is that freedom to advertise limited to the ads these complainers like or approve of? Please tell me that the First Amendment got modified to shelter us college kids from the evils of strip club ads.

Kelly hopes to reverse trend

by Kenn Rodriguez Daily Lobo If you saw UNM quarterback Casey Kelly on the street, you might not even guess he's a football player. The 6-foot-3-inch, 193-pound junior is way too laid back. He's rangy enough to be taken for an athlete, but his demeanor is about as far from the hyped-up jock stereotype as you can get.

UNM's final budget reaches $1.3 billion

Two weeks after UNM's new fiscal year began, the Board of Regents approved final details of the University's budget. The figures were stuck in legislative limbo until a special session was called this summer to settle a statewide budget standoff. The final tally left UNM with $1.

LETTER: Readers should rely on own thoughts and ideas

Editor, I, as a woman and a senior - that's as in 62 years old - new to the job force after being retired and a student, agree with you that people should decide for themselves what they shall or shall not wear, eat, think, etc. I love the Daily Lobo. The letters, editorials, ads, classifieds and all.

COLUMN: Tips for parking at the University

by Josh Kavanagh Guest Columnist On behalf of the staff of Parking and Transportation Services, I would like to welcome all new students, faculty, and staff to the University of New Mexico. Parking at a University is a very different experience from parking at any other facility.

LETTER: Full-page ads need discretion

Editor, I agree with others who have written in to let you know that your advertising policy needs to be addressed. The mail-out summer issue has welcome back on the front page and an offensive advertisement on the back. You reserve the right to edit letters to the editor and other content, why not advertisements? You are the gatekeeper for all content.
