Removing Logs

I have no prior Linux experience, so I am learning as I go.

I have been receiving emails notifying me that there are too many log files. It also says it will delete the oldest ones but I have been getting these every hour and want to clear out all the logs prior to Jan 2002.

After I navigate to the /var/log directory and I type...
rm *2001*
it returns...
rm: remove 'auth-20011018.gz', overriding mode 0644?
I enter...
y
I get this back...
rm: auth-20011018.gz: Permission denied

What am I doing wrong?
