I would suggest that any member of the parking committee that does not know that students are unsatisfied with the parking system is too inattentive or just plain stupid to hold a position on the committee. If they can't put two and two together and then come up with an idea, fire them now and get a new committee comprised of people with brains. Admittedly, there are a lot of students who complain because they can't park very close to the building. ing the GOP's powcr-mongcrin- g. Article after unfavorable article in the news sections of each paper detailed the ruling party's abuses. Even The Daily Utah Chronicle got into the act. The Democrats' rally at the Capitol, small though it was, should also have sent a clear message to the GOP that its whole-scal- e power grab was out of line. The new redisricting plan is a mockery of the political process. Blame goes to all sides involved. In response, the state's voters should send a clear message to GOP hardheads over the next io years: No y rule! more John welcomes feedback at: America Stands United or they don't get a reserved spot These people need to be ignored. I don't expect that there will be a BLAME - Editor space with my name on it anywhere close to my office or classes, but I do expect that there will be a space on the same side of the campus, and that's not unreasonable. I expect that when both stadium lots and the engineering lots are full, but the "A" section has too empty spaces, I can park there without getting fined for it In short, I expect to get what I paid (too much) for. And if I can't have a parking space, I expect to pay less than $120 for the opportunity to park in a pay lot or get a ticket. JOSHUA BLACK Junior, Math "Give rne your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, to me. tempest-tosse- d I lift my lamp beside the golden door." America is the greatest nation on the earth. Our founding fathers realized the need for a land of freedom, acceptance and sanctuary. We have fought, bled and died for this need, and the idealism that once was dreamed of is now a glorious reality that we call the United States of Amejica. We are an eclectic nation born of brave refugees, who thrived from their ancestors We are also a nation born of new immigrants that arrive daily seeking the rights and freedoms we hold close to our hearts. The symbols of these rights and freedoms are emulated in The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, the Statue of Liberty and the invitation inscribed in its base and in the lives of every American who lives, breathes and dies on our soil. Recent events have catalyzed and intensified feelings of hate in the hearts of many and have led to various hate crimes across our great nation. Individuals of Persian descent have been treated with hate, discrimination, violence and death. d Have we become so that we cannot remember the scars one-part- or send ters to the editor to: 'eeliliH Online let- letterschroni-cle.utah.ed- Opinion Poll u.

As far as I'm concerned, it's vandalism. that mar the history of humanity? Why is it that each violation of rights that we have fought for and resolved to expunge is so quickly forgotten when a similar scenario is placed before us? I speak of the horrors of the Nazis, the exploitation of slaves, the violations of Japanese Americans during WWII and every other unjust, discriminatory act big or small. These are the skeletons in the closet of America. We are a nation founded on acceptance, on the right to believe what we wish and the freedom to practice these beliefs within the limits of our laws. Hate crimes weaken our nation. They lessen the boldness of our Constitution and diminish the flame of Lady Liberty's torch. Every act of discrimination is an attack on America and its foundation. The attacker is akin to the terrorists of Sept. n. Rights of Americans are violated by undeserved violence. Granted, hate crimes do not kill as many people as the Sept. n attacks (at least not on American soil), but the acts of hate are against our fellow Americans. This, to me, connotes that the perpetrators of hate crimes are traitors. We are America. United we stand. If you are not ready to be American and ensure the rights of other Americans, get over yourself or find another country. MARK HACKING Senior, Psychology short-sighte- What? Logos? Snowflakes?
