I would like to take this opportunity to thank the student body for passing Amendment One last Wednesday. I feel confident that the returns this amendment will bring to the students of this University are rewards of great proportion that are difficult to imagine at this time.

If, as Sonic Youth bassist Kim Gordon wrote in 1983, "people pay to see other people believe in themselves," how are we to explain our fascination in paying to see people drink themselves into oblivion and destroy things?
I'm beginning to think the Middle East crisis is not completely hopeless; and, that we, the United States of America, should make the most of the situation. It seems a major part of the problem is that Arial Sharon and Yasser Arafat hate each other.
High school senior Ashanti Cook backed out of his letter of intent and current Lobo freshman Jamaal Williams may soon follow, adding to the mounting list of challenges new basketball coach Ritchie McKay faces.
Maceo Martinet's column about dams and water was an unfortunate escapade in poor journalism. I believe the theme was that dams are bad, causing social and environmental upheaval and lead only to excess and waste in the consumption of electricity. India is cited as an example of this, where apparently dams have displaced millions of people for the sole purpose of allowing "casino-style cities." Hoover Dam also is an example, its purpose is apparently just to supply electricity to Las Vegas. And finally, dams are redistributing water around resulting in a massive imbalance of water and the slowing of the planet's spin.
I have always wondered why going to the opera was such a big deal. Then again, I had never gone to one until Friday night.

I am fed up with reading about the so-called generous offers given to the Palestinians and that Israel had to occupy Palestine.
The Board of Regents clearly hasn't been reading my columns. At any rate, the regents are not taking my advice. I think we can all agree that a 4.3 percent tuition hike - after years of annual tuition hikes - is a bad idea.
An opening prayer, American Indian dances and a buffalo barbeque today will kick off the annual Nizhoni Week, which promotes American Indian cultural awareness on campus.
New Mexico is the type of place that can make you tear your hair out if you are big on change or efficiency, but it has found its niche by embracing its endearing quirkiness. The Land of Enchantment is an odd mix of culture and stubbornness that lures artists seeking inspiration in droves.
The UNM softball team split a doubleheader with the University of Nevada at Las Vegas Sunday afternoon at Lobo Field.
