Staff Editorial
Abstract:
Price gouging is a staple, not only at ASU, but among universities across the nation. None are immune to the greedy, almost charlatan-like ways of scrounging up an extra nickel here and there.
Whether it be the outrageous price of books, cokes at the UC, or $90 to park, (what is this, New York City?) we've all experienced it....

Actually, if the the Ram Page did their research. The $90 price tag is nowhere a profit. ASUPD in the past has been losing money. The new price tag just allows them to operate like normal. There is no profit made. Check the figures, they won't lie. If anyone noticed prices went up everywhere, not for profit, but because it was essential in a struggling economy.

Yo! Michael McDonald...I am gonna let you finish, but this was the best editorial of all time. The Publisher doesn't set the price of the textbooks, the retailers do. (Idiot) The retailers that bid for the contract so they can rip us off. ASU allows it to happen to us, so ultimately it does come back to The U. Also, nowhere did they mention a profit being used from permits for extra donuts. Why pay $90 to park when there are never any close to the building you need to get to. So go on Michael, "Ya MO BE THERE" with your bad self.
