- 573: Coaching Decisions
- ... to coach again? I think Coach Kraus should be fired without any hesitation. Many of the players and the parents wanted Kraus fired after the first incident, and they definitely want him fired now. In school systems today, many incidents similar to this happen often. Are athletic coaches today given too much power and think they can do whatever they think can improve the team? The coaches should be setting examples ... Kraus, saying "he is not the type of man to lose control like that. As much as Kraus has given to the girls' team, he shouldn't be punished for using profanity one time." The school board President Jeff Parker stated "he is not a person that coaches for the money, he coaches because of his affection for the kids." These are just some of the explanations in Kraus's defense to help persuade the school not to punish him.

- 575: Should Scholarship Athletes Work?
- Should Scholarship Athletes Work? Should college athletes on full ride scholarships be able to hold a job during the school year? Well up until Monday, January 12, 1997, full scholarship athletes were forbidden to hold jobs during the school year. For the last five years this has been a very controversial issue in the National Collegiate Athletic Association, known as the NCAA. Imagine being from a poor family and going to college on a full-ride scholarship for basketball. Under the old legislation, that player is not allowed to work or receive money from the school. In turn the player cannot afford to even travel home over the holidays to be with his family. Athletes should be able to hold a job during the school year in order to get ...
- 576: “The Slippery Slope of Pizza Money": The Money Scheme
- ... with the controversial issue of athletic scholarships given out by the NCAA at the collegiate level. This article states the new idea that college athletes on scholarship can now have jobs as well as attending school during their competitive seasons and earn up to $2,000 a school year. Douglas S. Looney does an excellent job in persuading me, the reader, in why this is an unfair and illegal thing to do. According to Looney, this new rule set up by the NCAA ... males playing football and basketball – so it has given up”(1). What this all means is that the NCAA can’t find a way to figure out how the athletes are getting money while attending school. Instead of trying further to figure out how the athletes are earning money they have made a new rule so that it appears as though the athletes are making money by having jobs outside ...

- 579: Littleton
- It seems for the past week or so, the entire world (yes, world, when I was in Spain they showed news coverage of this 24/7 too) has been shaken up by the school shootings in Littleton, CO (I think thats the name of the town, though don't hold me to that). What amazes me about this story is not the fact that two people went into a school and shot a bunch of people (apparently this is the seventh in-school multiple homicide in teh past 18 months), its the fact that the media has given extensive coverage this, and has exploited it for all its worth. I suppose with the impeachment trial over and ...

The author explains that, as a child, he regarded Spanish as his ... as an American citizen like the other children in his class, and this discouraged him from readily learning English.
