Everyone deserves an education
To the Editor:
   Why is it that ASU can spend thousands of dollars on events such as concerts and the preparation of MTV coming here, but yet the only way students can pay respect to the 9/11 tragedies is just a ribbon?? Are the deaths of our brothers and sisters really not that important when compared to MTV on campus? Is that the message that’s being sent? Maybe the candle light vigil didn’t draw as many people as some would have liked, but for most students it was a respectful way to mourn the loss of our country. How can we as a university just push aside the events that occurred on our own ground and focus all of our attention on the MTV interviews? Maybe we should all take a step back from our ‘busy’ lives and look at our priorities.
