 Like any other state in the whole of the United States of America, the city of Tempe is a home to numerous beggars. They are comfortably roaming around littering our parks and gardens after they have been after they have been cleaned. However, statistics show that Tempe is one of the cities with fewer beggars we still have to work hard to ensure that our streets are free, clean and safe.
The beggars have literally clogged our streets busiest corners posing distraction to other citizens and even tourists. Others have turned begging into a way of life. Apparently, this people are contributing to an increase in crime in the city. It dawned on me that we can do away with begging if we so wished. Experiences from across the globe has continued to reveal that there is no ending to the begging epidemic which has been exacerbated by the economic meltdown. It threatens to remain the same as before but according to my little research conducted in our city the solution to bringing these beggars out of our streets is right here with us.
                                                             
             
Suggested solutions
 It is most appropriate to give back to the society, but in order to retain the beautiful sites in our beautiful streets we have to focus on certain strategies
1. The residents here should develop a habit of charity, creating time to play, talk, and volunteer. Free education should be a provision by the state in all the public schools.
2. In my time of research out in the streets, most of the children suggested to me that they would treasure to be adopted. The state of Arizona should hasten up the process of adoption to increase the number of children saved from the streets every year.
3. State funds should be provided largely to make it easier for the homeless and less fortunate to cater for their needs. This would theoretically eliminate the urge for hunger based beggary in the streets. Let there be transparency and proper accountability in the management of these funds to ensure their proper use.
By doing these I imagine a city of Tempe without beggars in the streets, the students in Arizona state University would have more time to focus on other community based activities rather than feeding the needy, the people of Tempe would not have their phones snatched in the streets and the council will not need invest more in cleaning up services, food stamps and destitute homes. Lets ask ourselves this question, if a country like Indonesia can manage to successfully ban begging out of their streets, why cant one of the most successful states in America like us do so
Yours faithfully

 Dear Mr. Askin,
Advising the problem of few computers in Arizona State University
   The ASU computer science department maintains and controls the use of computers in the whole school. Most of the Professors and lecturers pass on information to the students via the internet and vice versa. Therefore it is a prerequisite for every student to have an access to the computer and internet for that matter.
 Although the Arizona State University has managed to deliver these services to its students, there has been unending claims from students that the computers are not enough.
 The most widely spoken problem with the computers at Arizona State University is that they are simply not able to serve half of the school.
 With the large number of students attending Arizona State University the ratio of computers to the students does not measure up. According to my research in the schools computing commons, the number of functioning machines rages between 200 and 220 per day due to breakages and the population of Arizona State University is more than 60,000 students. That makes a ratio of 1 computer per every 300 students.
  Computers in ASU2 the following are some of the suggestions made by different students I managed to compile during my research in the laboratories.
First students undertaking the game development courses claimed the computer soft wares in the laboratories are outdated especially for students undertaking advanced computer programming. Therefore the students suggested that computer programming and engineering students have their own labs with the latest computers programmes suitable for the level of study. Students undertaking courses which require much research should have there own labs and strict entry measures be  set up.
 Create and strictly follow a timetable for different units of studies to avoid congestion in the laboratories and boost the connection process to make it fast and reliable. They should issue and occasionally review access passwords to the computers.
Invest in buying of new computers so as to speed up processing. If possible dispose off all old computers and replace them with new ones. Invest also in modern and latest technological standards.
Ban access to certain cites in the laboratories or create a division whereby one cannot access social network cites. This will ensure those who want to conduct research will have ample time since much time is expended in chatting or networking denying others the opportunity to use the machines.
Last but not least, upgrade the library with research materials to avoid the overreliance on the internet. This will also reduce congestion in the laboratories.
