Editor, I have read the letters from people who are appalled by the strip club ads that have appeared in the Daily Lobo. As a new college student starting off at UNM, I too am disgusted with the strip club ads I have seen in the Daily Lobo. I do not want to fit the typical college stereotype.

Yankees are classist pig-dogs: You are sitting in a Filipino Karaoke/Strip-Bar in one of the more sketchy sections of downtown Manila. You sip a San Miguel and watch a 4'10" pinoy baritone belt out "One Sweet Day" with the accompaniment of a half-naked stripper he is paying 250 pesos an hour to sing with him - roughly five US dollars.
