Why. does Sahnaro have prison-type lights on the compound outside the rooms? They keep the residents awake. The lights on the compound outside the rooms are the only lights there for the parking area. Their purpose is to light the area and to help avoid car thefts from the lots. According to Jerry Eppler, director of the Sahuaro Hall Complex, there have been eleven car thefts in the past two and a half months. If the lights are bothering any of the residents of Sahuaro Hall, they are asked to contact Ep­ pler.

How many Catholic students are there on campus, and how many go to tills thing? A “love-in” takes place at the Newman Center only once or twice a year. The actual “ lovein” of this religious-scoial ga­ thering consists of poetry read­ ing, singing, discussing and do­ ing most anything which would help one become a whole person. The members of the group pre­ sent at the “love-in” believe that Jesus is present in the form of bread and wine, and a t any time they can go into the church and think or pray in the pres­ en ce of the Blessed SacramentI^TN ifb were only forty to fifty people present at the last “love in.” As o f 1967, there were 4,500 Catholic students at ASU,. 60 percent commuters. publican Commltte in 1964 and _____ manager for Sen.

VoL 51, No. 51 Thursday, January 9,1969 Tempe, Arianna Tempe streets requested for University expansion By MARCIE LYNN SMITH A proposal calling for th e abandonm ent of four Temp e 'stre e ts for fu tu re Uni­ versity expansion was pre­ sented Tuesday to a w orkstudy session of the city council by John R. Ellingson, ASU’s director of plan­ ning and construction. The proposed plan ap­ plies to Van Ness Avenue, Pepper D rive, G ranada Av­ enue and parts of McAl­ lister Avenue. If approved, th e proposal w ill d e a r the way for eastw ard expan­ sion and developm ent of the campus. U nder the plan, a new street would be construct­ ed from U niversity D rive to Apache Boulevard parallel to R ural Road. This w ill help alleviate th e traffic load on R ural by providing another through street to Apache. y** If th e streets are aband­ oned, they would be refnoved from the roster of Temtraded or sold to the Uni­ versity. f ‘i " Before the plan can be im plem ented, the proposal m ust be presented at.a pub­ lic hearing. The council w ill set a tim e for the hearing w hen all the inform ation can be compiled for d istri­ bution. A t th e study session, the council indicated the hear­ ing w ill be set probably in *about four weeks. Since the m eeting was called only for studying the request, no consent could be granted this week. Property owners living on th e affected streets w ill not be moved until after the new street is constructed, and definite usage plans are devised. The street-abandonm ent request was initially made some tim e ago to th e city adm inistration! W hen first presented, it upset some m embers of the council w hen citizens and property owners protested postings of the proposal late last month. R O T C re q u ire m e n ts listed fo r S o p h o m o res By TED LEDINGHAM Students are not required to tiri» ROTC beginning next September, said George Peek, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and in charge^of the ROTC program at the University.

The adoption of voluntary ROTC has also created recruiting problems for the m ilitary programs at the three state institutions. “We have had a captive audience a t ASU, and now we will have to go out and work on recruiting, ”^said Col.

Major reform planned for A S ASIA By JANE SIMS T he question of w hether o r not 40 sen­ ators and a handful of student leaders can adequately represent over 23,000 students m ay be answ ered w ithin th e next few months, finally. U niversity adm inistrators have been taking a close and serious look for nearly two years a t ideas of rehabilitating stu­ dent governm ent by form ing college coun­ cils and a student assembly. Ju st recently th e m ovem ent to reshape the structure of student governm ent by establishing th e council-assem bly plan, has picked up steam . And, for months, ad­ m inistrators have subtly hinted for the Student Senate o r . ASASU officials to make th e next move.. So far, student lead­ ers haven’t taken any action. “Frankly,” said one adm inistrator who declined to be identified, “it appeared un­ til ju st recently th a t eith er they w eren’t listening to our recom m endations o r they ju st plain didn’t care about student repre­ sentation.” However, wjtiat m any advocates term th e “stifle n t governm ent reform ” m ay j-. click into place in 1969. If th e movement V progresses in th e coming months, admin­ istrative blueprints fo r college councils and an established student assem bly of or­ ganizations would be im printed on the ASASU books: F or tiie tim e being, adm inistrators w ill w ait—rig h t betw een th e horns of th e la rg est reform in student governm ent’s his­ tory. They’ll w ait, a t least for a while, for student leaders’ public response to num ­ erous adm inistrative addresses and two docum ented reports indicating “m ore stu­ dent representation could be accomplished by enacting th e plan.” “College councils and an established NEW S A N A LYSIS assembly of organizations to study student prpblem s and recommend legislation w ill soon become A reality,” asserted Dean of Students fcfeorge Hamm, -author of a re ­ po rt recom m ending to e plan. “Students w ant m ore representation and they’re go­ ing to dem and i t ” A lthough th e plan hasn’t gained total support from top ASASU leaders, several U niversity officials claim it probably w ill go into effect in th e next few months. A t th is p o in t it appears th e only thing th a t can block th e m evem ent to im plem ent councils and an assem bly is a sabotage at­ tem pt by m alcontent student leaders. If they can m uster enough support to back allegations th a t .“portions of to e plan dis­ sipate student power” they could cripple to e new m achinery being moved in the ASASU structure. Among dissenters of th e student assem­ bly of organizations is Student S enate speaker Linda Yarbrough.. She criticized the assembly for adding an unnecessary channel to student government. Hamm argued, ‘T h e student assembly won’t spread out power. Absolutely, it’s not adding another channel; its sole pur­ pose is for more students to have a voice.” In a lengthy study Associated Students released four m onths ago, Hamm recom' mended th a t to e U niversity “combine the continuity of a central system (the present ASASU structure) w ith to e representa­ tiveness of a system based on w hat active groups Would enjoy.” So Hamm suggested another h alf to th e legislative branch, the student assembly of organizations. “I t wouldn’t be a bicam eral system sim ilar to toe federal governm ent because th e stu d en t assembly would respond only to significant issues and problem s by sub­ m itting resolutions to th e Student Senate for study and possible referral to to e pres­ ident o f the U niversity," to e report said. (Continued on pace 3) Thursday, Jan. .9 — Page 2 Coed captures cheering title Trad Anderson chosen in national contest By MARCIA SIMONS It’s a tong way from pitcher of a little league baseball team to boss Cheerleader USA — but Traci Anderson, 20-year-old junior zoology ma­ jor made it. “When the city officials in my hone town found that a girl was pitching for file little league team , they wouldn’t let me pitch any­ more, so I decided the next best thing was cheering for the team. I was in sixth grade a t the tim e, and {ricked up the cheers from junior high cheerleaders,” Miss Anderson said. This year, she entered the national cheerlead­ ing competition which is held annually by the International Cheerleading Foundation (IGF) with 200 girls across the nation. The 200 contestants were screened by pic­ tures and applications, and six finalists were notified before the holidays. These six were flown by ICF to Oppress Gardens, Florida Dec. 26, mad it was a whirlwind of pictures, tours and inter- views until a winner was .chosen on file 29th. “We were interviewed by four judges about ‘what is the spirit like at your university; how does cheerleading promote it, what are your re­ sponsibilities as a cheerleader?’ ” she said. “One question was ‘Where were you when President Kennedy was assassinated?.’ The ques­ tion was asked to see our reaction,“ she explain­ ed. “It was a good way of seeing if our enthus­ iasm was honest and sincere or just on the su r­ face.” Final competition was on a stage over the water before a crowd of about 3,000 people. Each girl was required to do three cheers. “This was the test of whether or not we could develop spirit in the crowd and inspire them to yell. A lot depended on crowd response,” Traci said and admitted that the crowd yelled pretty loud for ho*. “For my last cheer I did the one that goes “Ahhhhhhhhh—um. Give ’em hell devils,’ “ but, she smiled, “I changed it to ‘let’s go devils’ be­ cause there were a lot of kids in the audience. “The stage was too small for gymnastic stunts,” continued Miss Anders«», who has never had any gymnastic training, “and gymnastics did not play a part in the judging. Some girls were good in gymnastics but couldn’t raise spirit,, which was the important factor.” With the title of Miss Cheerleader USA, she received a three-foot trophy, Cypress Garden wat­ e r skis and a Johnson outitoard motor, which she is giving to her dad. “He was so excited, espe­ cially about the motor,” she laughed. Miss Anderson, who makes her home in Las Vegas, Nevada, has two younger sisters, «me a sophomore a t the University o f Nevada in Reno. She said, however, that neither have recently shown special interest in sheerieading. As a freshman, she cheered here on the freshman squad, and is presently a varsity cheerleader. Previously Nevada’s Junior Miss, she says the pageant has helped her a lot in everything she’s done. “The Junior Miss pageant is anything but a beauty contest; it is based strictly on leadership and personality,” she commented. As part of her recent duties as Miss Cheer­ leader USA, she presented an award to the out­ standing American, a WWH hero from Alabama^ a t the American Bowl Game in Tampa, Florida. She also talked enthusiastically about attend­ ing a luncheon with Gale Sayers, the running back for the Chicago Bears, who presented the ball which officially started the game. This summer she will tour the United States to visit cheerleading clinics. She will also have a chance to design outfits and work up cheers. “I was offered a job as a professional cheer­ leader with Kansas City after college, but after four years of college, you want to put to use the things you’ve been studying; besides, my parents would flip,” she said.

He praised the assembly plan for adding a second body to back up the sen­ ate and increasing representa. tion. Although Oldham advocated the student assembly, be knock­ ed the college council ¡dan far “fragmenting student power.” “Think of how councus would fractionalize student power; it would be difficult to unite rep­ resentatives on issues; our pow- e r would be weakened so much,” Oldham said. “Already many colleges have formed councils but they won’t work — students aren’t running most o f t b ^ n . ” Responding to Mirecommenda- | tion in Hamm’s report for the ASASU President to write and request that college deans estab­ lish councils and submit propos­ als for funds, Oldham maintain­ ed it was outside his authority. Hie request for initiating coun­ cils should come only from the Senate, he emphasized. - During a recent Student Sen­ ate session, Speaker Yarbrough agreed with Oldham's charge that 'the Senate should establish councils. Limiting her support of the council system to coun­ cils formed by students, not col­ lege deans, she maintained sen­ ators should be “founders” of the councils. Apparently Durham doesn’t agree with Oldham’s view of 111 STATI MUSS I* publlshad by Arizona Stalo Univontty at tho official campus noortpopor ovary Tottdoy tbroogb Friday Paring tba school yoor, oxcopt boIIdays and axanrinatfoa portado, and to anttrop a* socond doss at Tomsk, Arizona, (Ml.

Richard Nixon, the politician whose motives are al­ ways questioned by both conservatives and liberals, will finally be “the one” In 11 days. Nixon, celebrating his 56th birthday today, is one of the most enigmatic and fatalistic presidential aspir­ ants in recent American history. Many of today’s stu­ dents know little about his career. His fatalism may spring from an accident a t age 3 in which his head was grazed by a wheel. He reached a hospital just in time to save his life. Today be parts his hair on the right to hide a scar that stretches from forehead to neck. After a poverty-stricken childhood and uneventful wartime service in the South Pacific, Nixon was asked by hometown California Republicans to run for Con­ gress in 1946. During his four years there, he gained feme quickly for his role in the Algo* HUh m ae Hiss was an important figure in the Truman ad­ ministration’s State Department; Nixon and the Com­ m ittee on Un-American Activities of which he was a member were told by Whittaker Chambers, a former Communist and Time magazine editor, thkt Hiss had been a fellow Communist in the ’30s. Ib is case was handled more carefully than later investigations into subversion, partly because the in­ vestigators often weren’t sure who to believe. The Hiss-Chambers case became a test of complex and divergent loyalties; Chambers liked Hiss personally, for instance, and released some evidence against him only when it became necessary to preserve his own credibflity. Hiss was eventually, convicted of perjury. In 1950, Nixon ran for the U.S. Senate against Helen Gahagan Douglas, a campaign remembered unfondly for its mudslinging. What no one seems to recall is that Nixon, far from jacking on a defenseless woman, slugged it out with her blow for Mow. She may have misrepresented his congressional voting record even more than he did hers. Furthermore, she was attacked just as bitterly in- the Democratic Party prim ary by a lam e duck senator and her opponent for the party nomination. Hus victory set the stage for his nomination as Dwight Eisenhower’s running mate in 1953. Coincident­ ally, Nixon had watched Ike’s triumphal ticker tape parade in Manhattan At the end of World War H; for f t right years be w in vice jxesident, Nixon usually found himself in the shadow of Ike’s jiopularity. He wasn’t ignored ih 1952, however. Some of his political enemies tried to force him off the ticket with disclosures of a political fund his supporters had estab­ lished in California. Unlike Sen. Thomas Dodd’s alleged use of funds raised a t political dinners for personal use, Nixon’s fond was openly political, donations were limited in soe, a id the money was held in trust and audited. In that moralistic year of 1953, it seemed like a scandal, though, and Nixon went on natfawmi televi­ sion to present his case. In the speech, he outlined de­ tails of his finances, gained sympathy with his refer­ ence to Checkers, the children’s dog, and asked citiseas to tell Republican officials whether they thought he should resign. ordered me to do something. He would wonder aloud if I might like to take over this or that jjroject, always couching his recommendations in term s which would cause no embarrassment to either of us if I preferred to say no. There was, of course, never an occasion when I did hot willingly accept the assignments he suggested.” One of those assignments was the Latin American tour of 1958. On his last stop in Caracas, Venezuela, Nixon’s party was stopped in traffic while hundreds of rioters attacked the car with rocks and steel pijie, smashing most of the windows. No public official hi recent years has come that close to assassination and survived. When Ik returned to America he was, temjjorarily as he ruefully notes, a public hero for remaining calm in many dangerous moments. (As Nixon explained in his book “Six Crises” : “My own attitude toward crisis is best expressed in the way the word ’crista’ is writ­ ten in the Chinese language. Two characters are com­ bined to form the word: One brush stroke stand« for ‘danger’ and the other character stands fo r ‘oppor­ tunity.’ ”) Later that year, the Democratic national chairman called it all a “Republican plot” to aid Nixon’s pniiticni career. In 1960, he sought the presidency, even though a top GOP strategist estimated the odds against any Republican a t 5-1. The Democrats nominated the unlikely ticket he thought would be the toughest to fight, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. And Nelson Rocke­ feller, who would have made the strongest naming m ate for Nixon, said he just wasn’t interested in the vice presidency. To add to his jH'oblems: LBJ arranged to reconvene the Senate after the conventions so Nixon would have to preside; the Eisenhower administration suffered the U-2 incident and an economic downturn; Nixon was persuaded to talk Ike out of strenuous campaigning for his health; and Nixon himself lost two weeks at the start of the campaign with a leg infectinn Nixon decided that JFK ’s Catholic religion would cost Kennedy votes in states he didn’t expect to win anyway and help him-where he needed it, but that he would not raise the issue even if Kennedy’s supporters raised it in reverse, accusing Nixon backers of big­ otry. Worse yet, Adlai Stevenson wondered aloud about the pacifism of many Quakers and a Democratic governor openly attacked Nixon’s Quaker faith, saying: “We had to choose between a Catholic and a in 1928. We elected a Quaker and lived to regret it. And if you vote for a Quaker this time; you will live to regret it horribly.” Then there was that first debate. The consensus later was that it was the only debate he clearly lost, but about 20 million more peojrie saw it than any of the others. Of course, the real first debate between Kennedy and Nixon was in 1947 when the two freshman congress­ men went to McKeesjwrt, Pa., to discuss the Taft-HartJey Act. As Nixon explained it, “I probably had the better of the argument because most of those present H ie result was one or two million telegram s, let­ as employers, tended to be on my side in the first ters and petitions bearing three million names, most place.”....■■.... ............ ...... ..... * • of them favorable.
