LETTER: Additional bike racks would end need to lock to handrails

March 19

Ever since I began attending classes at UNM many years ago, there has been the constant debate simmering over the issue of students locking their bikes to hand rails. And every year, the same valid arguments arise. Yes, it is a problem. Yes, it is inconsiderate to the handicapped. No, it isn't really the responsibility of the UNM Physical Plant or campus police to hunt down and remove improperly parked bicycles.

LETTER: Loss of leaders just adds to increasing UNM costs

March 19

So UNM is going to pay probably half a million dollars to make a failed coach go away and more resources will be wasted to replace him in a job that is really not related to the mission of higher education, but one more appropriate to high school cheerleading? And the regents are going to spend thousands more to replace a president who probably sees the mess in the state and wants out. You can't blame him, but remember how much money was quietly given the last president to leave?

COLUMN: Multiculturalism ignores truth

March 19

While browsing The New York Times Web site, I came across a rather interesting sentence imbedded in a piece chronicling the story of a former Russian army officer that is now living in the United States and has been granted asylum. It seems that the defector, Andrei Samorodov, has been giving interviews to several Texas dailies - Texas, his new home, I guess is even today still a step up from Russia - exposing behavior by Russian army units in Chechnya that he categorizes as "war crimes."

From the opening tip of its first round game in the NCAA Tournament, the University of Missouri has not played like a team that was seeded 12th in the West Region.

Gordon's parting words

March 18

This summer I will complete my fourth year as UNM President and my twenty-fourth year as a member of the UNM community. After long and careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that this is a good time for me to step down from the presidency and to close out my career at UNM. To that end, I have informed Regent Willard of my intention to retire from the University during the summer of 2002.
