I am moved to respond to the letter of Matthew Kennicott. He asserts that "Many youths today, especially on college campuses, have empty minds that are being filled with anti-American, anti-Christian ideals." He seems to believe that those of us who do not support our present "war" don't think for ourselves.
The UNM football team had bowl destiny in its hands coming into Saturday's game at home against Colorado State University, the final Mountain West Conference game for each team.
Sept. 11 has affected all of us in some way. As a 10 year employee, an alumna and as a American, I am even more devastated that a university paper would allow its community to view the horror of atrocities to human beings. I am tired of seeing this kind of violence laid out before our eyes. Isn't New York enough!
We have spent a lot of time during the last two weeks talking about what's wrong with UNM. Such is the nature of our world, with people dwelling on the negative and barely taking the time to recognize anything else.
The letter from the Connection that was printed on Nov. 16 was nearly as transparent as my dorm room window. It disappoints me, as a current ASUNM senator, to read a letter riddled with false claims of ignorance, and written with the pen of fellow Senators Evan Kist and Nicole Griego.
Dylan Garzan, 7, throws a ball to friends during tailgating activities in the University Stadium parking lot before Saturday's game against Colorado State University.
Stanford University was once guard Eric Chatfield's kryptonite, but the senior on the UNM men's basketball team came full circle Saturday, conquering old demons and setting the tone for this season.
The Nov. 14 Daily Lobo was packed full of diatribes about how ASUNM sucks and how the Daily Lobo sucks. The fact is that they both suck a little. What I take issue with is a column that entirely mispresents what actually happens on campus. Jesse Mu§iz's column did just that.
Do you remember Sept. 12? If you picked up a copy of the Daily Lobo, on the cover you saw an oversized photo showing the World Trade Center exploding. Inside, another photo showed people clutching to window sills, waiting for a rescue that wasn't coming. Pretty gruesome, eh?
As I read through the letters in the Nov. 15 edition of the Daily Lobo, I was very surprised to see that there were complaints about the cover photo in Wednesday's edition.
La Cueva High School senior Tim Garrett laces up his running shoes before participating in the Recreational Services' annual Turkey Trot Sunday.
Monkeys close enough to touch, bamboo forests, Mayan Ruins, snorkeling off the coast of Belize.
Three UNM runners will participate in the NCAA Division I Cross-Country Championships today in Greenville, S.C.
Writers and UNM students celebrated the accomplishments of American Indian storytellers Friday at the University's Science and Technology Park.
After three days of hiding out in cold water while the state military attacked his farming community with grenades and machine guns, Marino Cordoba said he decided to speak out against human rights violations in Columbia.
An electric atmosphere engulfed The Pit Saturday night when the UNM men's basketball team played against Stanford University, but the Lobos offense showed no spark during the 81-66 loss.
As I read the "apology" from the Connection slate in the paper today, I have only one question. Who do they think they are kidding?
When Fran Fraschilla signed on to coach the UNM men's basketball team, he said he was committed to bringing "blue-collar" players to the program - players who would work hard in practice, in the classroom and on the floor at game time.
Floor burns might be senior guard Molly McKinnon's claim to fame on the UNM women's basketball team, but she has turned out to be much more than that.
A new year brings new expectations. Our basketball team is loaded with talent and fresh faces: two freshmen - Chad Bell and Jamaal Williams - and two junior college transfers - Moustapha Diagne and Cody Payne.
