I have been regularly writing this column for some 20 years now, and it has been great fun and, I hope, entertaining and annoying to the campus community. But in the interests of the University and my own health - dealing with the real world turns out to be a fairly scary thing - this column will not appear for a while.
We've been buried neck deep in controversy over Professor Berthold's recent comment. So he made a bad joke? So what?
Junior Paul Blodgett sells nachos and bottled water by the Duck Pond Wednesday to raise money to pledge for the Latino fraternity Lambda Theta Phi.
No. B. Coe holds up "Flights of Fancy: Mother Daughter Ritual" from her "Red Blanket Series" in the Women's Resource Center Wednesday while discussing her 54 years of painting and sculpting. Coe showed "Life Passions," a 10-minute video of her work.
The embarrassment continues. Mr. Berthold is certainly entitled to his opinion, but it is inappropriate to use the canopy of tenure and academic freedom to provide immunity from being held accountable. He has used this shield successfully for the last 29 years and only apologized for his actions when it became apparent that someone might actually hold him responsible for his actions.
Alongside College Republicans and College Democrats, UNM has a slew of lesser-known political and activist student organizations.
Professor Berthold's actions and opinions are an outrage. Not only should we have him fired, but his tongue also should be removed so that his dangerous opinions cannot infect any more ears in our population.
I wish to express my condolences to the lower division undergraduates of this august institution. If some are correct, your poor darlings can be lead astray with a few words in an off-the-cuff remark. These folks seem to believe that you are so brain-dead, so soul-dead, that the first 18 years of life with your parents can be negated in one class by an evil, wicked professor. They probably also believe that you are all non-smoking, non-drinking virgins.

UNM's Ultimate Frisbee Club is one of many athletic-related student organizations that thrive despite existing in relative anonymity.
UNM rugby coach Shannon Robinson has spent the last few months in search of women eager to score a touchdown or long to tackle others.
After a three year absence from basketball Michael Jordan is returning to the NBA, not for one season but two.
My letter is a short response to Professor Richard Berthold's cowardly remark about the Pentagon bombing. Basically the professor is entitled to his point of view but his comment leads to a question about academic freedom.
The Faculty Senate passed a resolution supporting freedom of speech and the faculty's right to academic freedom in its emergency meeting Tuesday at the Kiva Lecture Hall.
UNM's English Department is sponsoring "The Irish Renaissance, 1890-1932," a festival including a lecture series and several plays that runs until Nov. 12.
