SHOW UP, BE LOUD, WEAR GOLD
(In response to a March 7 Editorial, “A fitting finale.”)
I noted a very well-written editorial regarding our basketball team's senior day performance, particularly since I am a season ticket holder and alumna of ASU, but I have the following comments that I think are important for the student community of ASU.
I was very disappointed to see the lack of support from the students at our New American University.
You would think that more than 100 students could take the time to support fellow students on Senior Day!
Something needs to be done to get students to attend on a regular basis in mass, and that holds true for all ASU athletic programs, as I find it amazing that they cannot be bothered.

IS TEMPE REALLY THAT GREAT?
(In response to Isabelle Novak’s Feb. 17 column, “School in the city.”)
As somebody who has lived in dorms on both the Tempe and Downtown campuses, I can tell you that Tempe is just as dead around the dorms at night on the weekends as downtown Phoenix.
Why? Because everybody is either inside partying, studying, or out doing something off campus. None of the dining halls in Tempe stay open any later than the one downtown.
Downtown Phoenix has so much to offer. I moved to Tempe my sophomore year and missed downtown so much that I moved back.
Plus, Tempe isn’t the same as it was a few years ago. Businesses continue to shut down on Mill, and the dorms and on-campus apartments are littered with puke stains and beer cans.
Get involved with the community in downtown Phoenix and you’ll discover it’s more vibrant and rich with culture than anywhere else in the city.
