LETTER: APS should budget better, not ask for taxpayer dollars
February 4This endless increasing of property taxes has simply got to stop in this city. Every year we are asked to bail out Albuquerque Public Schools and its latest crisis. Voters have historically voted in favor of raising their property taxes to satisfy the needs of APS to equip classrooms with better equipment and fix older buildings, yet every year we hear that the problems still are not being fixed.

LETTER: If you don't like shoe prices, then leave them in the store
February 1When the Air Jordan made its debut in 1985 at an astounding $85, the general population was hesitant to accept such a price for top end athletic shoes. Seventeen years later, it is assumed that quality basketball shoes will retail at $150, regardless of which shoe company produces it.

COLUMN: Report targets university speech
February 1Ever since the horrific acts of Sept. 11, it has been interesting to listen to people, especially young people's views on what is going on. It is quite unique and refreshing when students engage in necessary dialogue that does not simply regurgitate what reporters say or what they hear on shows such as "Hardball," which reduce conversation into an entertainment of whether the guests are ridiculed.

LETTER: Kitchen pests can be controlled
January 31I have received several work orders this semester about little "worms" in kitchen cabinets. These are not worms or maggots; they are the larval stage of either a moth or a beetle, from a group collectively known as stored-product pests.

LETTER: Jordan lost his luster by selling overpriced shoes
January 30A couple of weeks ago I discovered that the new Michael "Air" Jordan basketball shoes will cost $200 for those interested in buying them. Two hundred dollars! For a pair of shoes? What the hell is wrong with Mr. Jordan? I can understand why Phil Knight, the CEO of Nike, would sell a pair of sneakers for such an outrageous price, but what I don't understand is why Mike would endorse such an overpricing.

COLUMN: It's time to cut ties with Arafatby Michael Carrasco
January 29This weekend news was released that President Bush is considering cutting ties with Yassir Arafat's Palestinian Authority in an effort to punish the terrorist turned corrupt despot for months of terror unleashed on Israel and for the recent interdiction of a ship with a sizable cache of weapons. This action is long in coming and most deserved.
