20 Carrots not for carnivores
Simon Goldfine | May 2Last year, I ate a 72-ounce steak with all the fixings. That's right - four and one-half pounds of cow. Let that serve as an indication of my relative inexperience with vegetarian cuisine. For my latest review, I decided to patronize 20 Carrots Cafe, an establishment that is decidedly not carnivore-friendly. However, for that special veggie, it might be the right place.

LETTER: Remember Sigma Chi's contributions to UNM
May 2As members of the Greek system we would just like to express our disgust with some of the students and faculty on this campus. For the last week we have been reading about Sigma Chi's charter being revoked. Yes, this happened; however, most do not know the exact circumstances behind this decision. Nor do they understand the impact that this has on the Greek system and the UNM community as a whole.

COLUMN: Conspiracy claims irrational
May 2Oil company executives are testifying for a Senate subcommittee this week answering allegations that price fixing is to blame for recent increases in the price of gasoline. Accusations of this sort are not new. There were charges of price gouging during the 2000 election that were very quietly dismissed after investigation. However, that these hearings are even going on is representative of an interesting and disconcerting group of people in the American political discourse that, for a lack of a better term, I will call conspiracists.

A Work in Progress
Photo essay Matthew Dunn | May 2Renovation of the Student Union Building began in January of 2001. The $25 million project was intended to modernize and expand the building, which was originally completed in 1959. According to the UNM facility planning Web site, the SUB project will add 8,000 square-feet of new space on the northwest corner of the existing building for a total of 155,000 square feet. Some perks of the new SUB will be study lounges, a renovated theater, convenience store, coffee shop and computer lab. It also will house all student services and organizations. The SUB renovation project is scheduled to be completed in December.

LETTER: Victim's rights as important as assailant's
May 2A few days ago there was a letter to the editor complaining that the Daily Lobo and UNM Police don't do enough to keep people informed about crimes that take place on campus. Case-in-point was a woman who was brutalized in her dorm room while her roommate looked on. It took a letter to the editor to bring light to that case.

LETTER: Students' concerns second
May 1Many people have begun complaining about the raise in tuition and higher rates on everything housing-related. I, myself, have complained even about the fact that I am receiving less financial aid - despite the fact that I'm in debt due to the small amount I received this year.
