Our Perspective
... ASU: stealing from poor to feed rich
|
 Low-cost
housing sounds like an oxymoron in Boone. In any other city,
one might imagine the phrase describing run-down government
apartments.
Not in Boone.
In Boone, some would argue that the recently-constructed
University Highlands are "low-cost housing."
True, in relation to other housing options for Appalachian
State University students, expenses at Highlands are low.

| Don't get on Panther bandwagon if not a
fan |
GO CAROLINA PANTHERS! I LOVE YOU!
Wait, what am I saying? I am not even a Panthers fan.
Before I became such a fan, did I even know that we had a
football team? Did I really even know their name?
I did not even really watch their games until they were competing
for the National Football Conference Championship.
Yet, why I am rooting for them and pretending to give a hoot?

| Proposal for NASA distracts from real problem |
A couple of weeks ago, President George W. Bush announced
to the nation that he plans to have Americans back on the
moon by 2020, in addition to a manned mission to Mars.
As always, a few questions arise for me about Bush’s
intentions, but this time a few questions also arise about
the NASA program itself.
Following a year that added $374 billion to the federal deficit,
which, according to USA Today, is the largest deficit on
record, and preceding the year that is estimated to add an
additional $500 billion to that number (New York Times),
Bush promises a new age in space exploration, and with it
billions of taxpayer dollars to fund it.
