Dear Mr.Dobbins, March 2nd, 2010

My name is Jasmin Lupian, I am a student at Melrose Leadership Academy. I am writing to you because me and other students in my school do not like the food that they give. The food that they give in our school is usually burnt, cold, gross ect. I think that we should have food that is good for you and also tastes good. One of my ideas is to have a salad bar where there could be all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Another idea i had is to maybe put in some lettuce and tomatoes in the hamburgers. Another suggestion i had was to have the fruit that they give us look better, sometimes the apples look rotten and it also looks like someone has already bitten it.

Nobody really like the food in our school sometimes people will not eat something during lunch. they would just wait till lunch. Our lunch time is at 12:30 and some people don't eat till 3:10! This is not good because it can affect there learning. I think that if you gave us food that people would like to eat, this would not happen. Our school is not like any other school because instead of coming out of school around 3:00 we get out at 5:00. so that is why it is very important to eat something during lunch. i suggested to the principle that we can sell things during lunch. This idea would have people eating during lunch and also make money for the school. She said that we can't do that because it is illegal to compete with the school cafeteria. maybe you can have better food that you guys can sell. i don't really care if you don't give my school the money i just think that it is important to have the students in my school eating.

Thank you for your hard work. I have noticed that we have pizza for lunch every wedsday and i think you had something to do with that. If know that person can you tell them we say thank you and we really appreciate there hard work.

sincerely,
Jasmin Lupian

New Zealand Virgin Auctions Herself For Tuition

(02-03) 12:21 PST WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) --

A New Zealand teenager who says she auctioned her virginity online for $32,000 to raise tuition money did not break any laws but it might be risky for her to follow through on the deal, police warned Wednesday.

The anonymous 19-year-old student offered her virginity to the highest bidder on the Web site www.ineed.co.nz under the name "Unigirl," saying she would use the money to pay for her tuition. She said in a post that more than 30,000 people had viewed her ad and more than 1,200 had made bids before she accepted an offer of more than New Zealand dollars 45,000 ($32,000).

Unlike similar New Zealand Web sites, bidding and correspondence between buyers and sellers on the ineed site is private so it is not known what bids Unigirl's offer received.

Web site owner Ross McKenzie said the site's policy was that as long as an ad was legal and did not offend the general standards of society, "it was OK." He confirmed Unigirl was a member on the site.

Prostitution is legal in New Zealand under laws considered more liberal than many countries. Prostitution among consenting adults is allowed in brothels and on the streets, and offering sexual services in print ads and online is also legal.

National police spokesman Jon Neilson said no law appeared to have been breached.

But "we would suggest it's not a safe practice," Neilson told The Associated Press. "There are definitely issues of personal safety" in using chat rooms, social dating networks and other Internet sites that can be used to arrange meetings between strangers.

Unigirl, in her initial post, described herself as attractive, fit and healthy. She did not post a photograph of herself, and bidders did not appear to have a way of confirming any of the details of her posts.

Unigirl said she was desperate for money to pay university fees.

"I am offering my virginity by tender to the highest bidder as long as all personal safety aspects are observed," her ad said. "This is my decision made with full awareness of the circumstances and possible consequences."

The internet has increasingly been used for offering and arranging sex services, and security concerns have quickly followed.

In the United States, 23-year-old former medical student Philip Markoff has pleaded not guilty to killing a masseuse he met on the Craigslist classified advertising site, and raping a stripper and robbing another woman he met in the same way.

Virginity has also been offered for sale online. British newspapers reported last week that a 16-year-old girl in Ireland had offered to sell her virginity on an online classified advertising site but recanted after a reporter posing as a bidder identified himself as from the media. A 22-year-old student in San Diego says she has received bids of up to $3.7 million for her virginity, which is being offered for sale through a brothel in Nevada, CNN reported.

Last year, a Philadelphia woman was charged with promoting prostitution after posting an ad online offering sex for tickets to a World Series baseball game.

Catherine Healy of the New Zealand Prostitutes' Collective, a group that represents sex workers on health and rights issues, said the New Zealand teenager had entered into sex work by offering herself online.

"The amount of money is absolutely huge — and that puts her under enormous pressure to perform all sorts of acts," she said.

But Healy said it was also possible that the successful bidder wanted to "save" the teenager and would not ask her to have sex.

She said the teenager would still have the right to refuse to have sex with the bidder if she changed her mind, and that the bidder could claim his money back.
