For all interested, Arizona Immigration Law protest on Saturday
As you’ve probably heard several times by now. Last Friday, specifically April 23, 2010 Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070 into law. This is a bill that makes it a misdemeanor for an alien to be in Arizona without required documents. However that is not the extremely controversial part. No, that part is the fact that it requires the police to make an attempt to determine a person’s immigration status if there is reasonable suspicion that the person is an illegal alien during a police stop. Also, police may arrest someone if there is probable cause that the individual is an alien who does not have required registration documents on them. This bill has been…

A small tribute to… gum
by Ashley Attanucci Staff Writer We all love gum. We love to have some, share some, ask everybody in our class for some. Some of us like to stick gum on other people’s things, or play with our a-b-c gum, and smack our gum; some chew gum for its unique texture, others for its flavor. Some even chew gum for energy (ever heard of caffeinated gum?) or whiter teeth (yeah, Orbit White)! And a few like to make art with their gum wrappers. So, I think it is safe to say, we all have to love gum, for one reason or another (and chew it at school whether we are allowed to or not). But…

By Rebecca Fowler Staff Writer I pulled into the extremely crowded parking lot and thought Oh, great. Seeing the huge number of cars, I knew it would be ages before my family and I finally got to eat—let alone, get a table. It was Monday night, and the café had just opened on Saturday…the new workers would surely be in over their heads tonight. But we went in anyway, and were shocked to see many available tables in the spacious dining area, as well as a quickly-moving ordering line. Set up similarly to Subway, Rosa’s Café is just that—a café. You walk up to the cashier, place your order, pay and then pick up your…
