In light of the attention that has been paid recently to Professor Richard Berthold, it seemed prudent to bring up White House press secretary Ari Fleischer's instructions last week.
The UNM men's rugby team used a young squad of mostly freshmen and sophomores to beat the El Paso Scorpions 40-12 Saturday at the Albuquerque Sports Stadium.

Richard Berthold should have changed his last name to "Cranium" years ago.
It is interesting and refreshing to see the Daily Lobo making an honest effort in presenting both sides of the Inquisition of Professor Berthold and of the up and coming war on terrorism.
With all the opinions being expressed by faculty and students concerning Professor Berthold's lecture material, I feel something should be said from the point of view of someone who attended the lectures.
I am amused at the letters and comments printed in the Daily Lobo from women speaking out against the injustices of racism, sexism, campus rapes and the alleged sexist comments of a certain faculty member.
Rest assured, the government will do anything to protect democracy. It will even sacrifice democracy itself.
Mr. Knutson stated in his letter to the Daily Lobo that he would be forwarding the now well-known comments of Professor Berthold to the U.S. attorney "for investigation and possible prosecution under anti-sedition laws." While the professor's comments may have been badly timed and insensitive, it is impossible to try him for sedition.
Richard Berthold should be fired. Not just for his serious misconduct on Sept. 11, but for every instance when he has insulted and offended students. If this had been his first offense, I might allow him to get away with just a tearful apology. However, Dr. Berthold has had a long history of moral misconduct at the University.
Regarding the controversy surrounding UNM history professor Richard Berthold, I believe several points need to be addressed.
I noted your editorializing about the disregard of freedom of speech by those individuals calling for the resignation or dismissal of Professor Berthold. You are correct in your position that the Constitution guarantees Mr. Berthold the right to speak his mind. However, the Constitution also guarantees everyone else the same right.
