Editor, I’d like to comment on Blake Driver’s recent article on Thursday about professor Tey Diana Rebolledo and her presentation, “Les Claravidentes: Chicana Artists and Writers.” While the article was well written and informative, I am concerned that Driver’s description of Alma Lopez’s work “Our Lady” as an almost nude Virgin Mary is deceiving.

If any lesson should be learned from last year’s presidential election and the resulting chaos, it’s that every single vote really does count. These days, it’s easy to feel lost in the crowd. When a hundred million people are voting, it’s easy to shrug your shoulders and say, “What difference would my vote make, anyway?”
Abortion activist Laura Kaplan told a sparse gathering at the Kiva Lecture Hall Tuesday that legalizing abortion was one of the first steps to break the silent repression of women. Kaplan, who was a member of the Abortion Council Service of the Women’s Liberation in the late ’60s and early ’70s, said that, before various movements of ’60s, women were almost powerless about their lives, children and their bodies. She said the expected view of women was that they were less than men, childlike and to be seen and not heard. Kaplan said women never spoke to each other about any private matters, and if they did, it was always in whispers.
Members of The People slate answered questions about campus safety and group affiliations at Tuesday night’s election debate sponsored by the Pre-Law Association, while the Connection Slate opted not to participate. Following candidate questions, most of the forum focused on Senate Bill 5-B, which would eliminate the use of student fees to fund the Daily Lobo. Sen. Steve Aguilar, vice-presidential candidate for the Connection slate, said he and members of his slate did not participate because they did not agree with who the panelists were or the atmosphere of the debate. He said Tuesday night’s audience was not as diverse as it would have been had the ASUNM Election Commission organized the event.

Sen. Steve Aguilar said he and other candidates on the Connection slate will not attend an election debate if they do not know and agree on the panelists who will ask questions. The debate is scheduled for tonight at 7 p.m. in room 123 of Dane Smith Hall. Aguilar, the vice-presidential candidate on the Connection slate, said he made a verbal agreement concerning the panel two weeks ago with Amanda Zubiate, vice-president of the Pre-Law Association, which is sponsoring the debate. He said they agreed that the panel would consist of one pre-law member, one College Republicans member and Margaret Toulouse from the College Democrats.
