On Feb. 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia exploded during its landing approach, instantly killing all seven crew members.

Legend's View
Different perspectives
Four shootings by Mesa police in the span of 17 days have divided the community, as some worry that police are taking their power too far. Others insist we must stand behind the police who protect our community.

Celebrating diversity


Dana Raynor Reeve	Alfonso Delgado

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time for the Hispanic community to celebrate the many layers of its culture, from past history to present and future acknowledgments. The Hispanic cultures that celebrate the month have parades and carnivals that commemorate Mexico's independence from Spain. During these celebrations, student organizations such as El Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) recognize such events as a learning experience for all walks of life. The members of MEChA do not observe creeds, religions, cultures, or economic statuses.

Students Observing and Scrutinizing
There has been a lot of coverage recently on Mesa police officers shooting suspects. Has this changed your perception of law enforcement?
