New features for The Pan American readers

As the semester comes to a close, The Pan American wraps up another period of hard work and transition in fulfilling its duties as conduit of news and information for the university community.

New leadership has taken hold in the past few weeks, and a number of innovations are on tap for the summer. The newspaper will produce four issues in the summer, helped in large part by the latest crop of high school and junior high interns, who will assist in production between semesters as Student Publications continues its outreach and recruiting efforts in the Valley K-12 realm.

In our Arts and Life section this week, material created by the intern group is featured, and we expect our youngsters to have a huge impact on the paper and Web site in the coming months. They are the future.

The web site will keep the daily flow of news, sports, and entertainment going during the summer, with more Spanish-language videos planned. There will also be a pilot program administered from June to August that will experiment with a bilingual format, taking note of the vast number of students, faculty, and staff who speak both languages.

Another special feature for the summer months is a return of the showcase of art, poetry, and photography from the university community beyond that produced by budding professionals working for Student Publications.

We encourage people to submit their original work in this area; submissions will be published in the paper editions and online.

As always, the newspaper staff appreciates the steady readership of the university community, encourages feedback and suggestions from all quarters, and advises readers to be looking forward to a comprehensive Readership Survey to be circulated at the beginning of the fall semester.

Being that this is the United States i respect everyone's god given right to speak their mind, even the warped ones.I do understand why we have immigration laws, I'm a taxpayer too you know. What bothers me is that fact that they would allow a law that discriminates people who look or are profiled as illegal. You also said it yourself, " the illegal influx of people." But what does an illegal influx of immigrants look like actually? Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, African, Irish, British, Canadian.There are hundreds of illegals from all over the world, but you did not mention that i go to any other country but Mexico. Whenever an ignorant dunce thinks of an illegal its always a Mexican. If I am correct, this country is still a mixing bowl of cultures,and if you cannot accept that then I pity you.

If you have a hard time accepting the fact that Arizona is merely enforcing federal laws, that the federal government fails to do, I urge the illustrator to move to Mexico. Its about time states try to reign in the illegal influx of people. God willing Texas has the courage to enact a similar in the future for law abiding citizens of Texas and enact similar laws.
