LETTER: Affirmative action benefits
March 1I find it ironic that Sarah Hunt would sell "quota cookies" as the racial reflection of affirmative action, yet did not include in the mix a cookie representation of the group which has benefited the most from affirmative action in the past 31 years: white women.

LETTER: Quota cookie project insultingly simplified
March 1Wow! How deceivingly simple this issue really is! Thanks to the College Republicans for dumbing down this complex situation so I can understand it. It's a sin to think that a borderline white kid, struggling on the cusp of admission into a major university is denied admission because that spot is reserved for a minority of lesser quality! Could you say to that tearful white boy, "Johnny, you almost got in but the government says we have to let in some inferior Hispanics, Indians and Blacks who didn't do as well as you?"

COLUMN: Energy policy ripe for reform
March 1The word on the White House lawn is that we are about to drill for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Words such as "oil drilling" are pretty common around that lawn I would imagine, since many of those walking around are some of the largest oil investors and businessmen, from Bush to Enron's Kenneth Lay to Al Gore. It would be nice to finally have some new, refreshing words for once.

COLUMN: Cracking academia's code
February 28You may have noticed that in their public pronouncements, University administrators frequently sound like politicians, attorneys or government spokesmen. Indeed they do, because like these other groups they often need to avoid speaking the truth because it might be embarrassing. They are, however, generally loath simply to lie, so instead a sort of coded speech is used.

LETTER: Shuttle drivers do a difficult job very well
February 28I support all the UNM bus drivers. I support Bobby, Anna and Jerry. They have a difficult job dealing with 50 to 60 students rushing the bus at once in the hopes of getting to class on time. The drivers do an excellent job picking up as many students as they can without breaking the rules.
