Before I get into NY Times daily news I want to make an announcement. This week I did my story on the suffering budget of the Athletic Department and they are planning on making hundred of thousand of dollars in cut for next year. Well today I learned the University of Maine cut two sports this morning; volleyball and men's soccer. Since I am on the volleyball team it affects us greatly because we have to have six teams in each conference and we have just six now, which is shaky also our schedule for next season has to be redone and we have to get a new travel partner because Maine was ours. The economy is affecting everyone. It is sad because Maine had six incoming freshmen for the volleyball team this fall and now they no longer have scholarships.
There were a couple of interesting study stories in the Times today.
There was a study that should that over 2million children have illegal immigrant parents and most illegal immigrants are Hispanic. I wonder why this is a problem that has not been solved. How are they coming in illegal and how do they know how many there are without arresting them.
Also, another study showed that the number of black men incarcerated because of drugs has decreased since 1999. With the drug war now the study proved that it is mostly white people who are drug offenders now than blacks, which I thought I found very interesting.
