Currently such an action would be simple assault, hut House Bill 81 would change the charge to Conldy asks boycott of Senate hopefuls By GARY WHITE In a statement released to the State Press Friday, Student Sen. Chris Conley, education, urged students to boycott the ASASU Senate elections scheduled for . March 18. “This does not mean I advocate a boycott of the overall elec­ tions,” Conley said. “I urge students to vote for randiifatp« of m ajor offices, but not for senators.” Conley said that senators are all too often elected by student» who don’t even know them. Once they’re in the Senate they fail to accomplish anything within the Moon expert to speak on rock samples Dr. Carleton B. Moore, director of the Center for Meteorite Studies, will speak on moon rocks from Apollo H and 12 and ex­ pectations from Apollo 13 at 7:30 pjtn., today, in PS 100. Sponsored by the University chapter of Sigma Xi, n a tio n a l honorary organization for scientific research, the address is open to the public. Dr. Moore received the Faculty Achievement Award, presented annually by the ASU A h u n n i Association, last Thursday for outstanding contributions to research. Dr. Moore was a member of the team that performed the in it ia l analysis of the samples returned with Apollo 12 at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory in NASA’s Houston Manned Space F li g h t - Center. As principal investigator for NASA, Dr. Moore will discuss the method of determ ining the carbon and nitrogen content in rocks brought back from the moon. He will also discuss in­ vestigations of scientists around the country who are working on lunar samples. overall Senate operation. “A m ajority of this year’s Senate has been appointed in­ stead of elected because the elected m em bers found the Senate too tim e-consum ing,” said Conley. “ If rules concerning a t­ tendance a t meetings were en­ forced a majority of Senate m em bers on roll would be removed,” he added! “The apathy in the student body has arisen to chronic propertiens among the elected and appointed m em bers of ASASU,” he said. Conley said the Senate does not represent the student body but is what he termed “a group of playboys who want to see the title of senator on their transcript.” He said that preventing apathy in the Senate next year might be an impossible task, but that the student can show his lack of support of the Student Senate by not voting. “I would urge students to vote only for those candidates who can and will represent them, then hold them accountable next year for their actions,” Conley said. “Only by exercising your right not to vote can you prevent a repeat of this year’s playful farce,” he concluded.

But w orse, the law forces women unable for financial, social or philosophical reasons to go elsew here to go to these butchers. Arizona has the opportunity with House B ill 20 to give women the one right only they should have — the choice of when they should bear tomorrow’s children.

IT The r e a s o n s for our firing Were: The directors of the Physical Plant simply could not understand our reasoning which led to our decision to refuse to scrub off the sign« Their , racist m entality coupled with their lack of understanding for feelings, attitudes and needs of University workers in general prevented them from gaining insight into our motives. If they were as genuinely concerned about their employees as they say they would not have made such a rash decision. Unfortunately however, the ruthlessness that our employers displayed was routine procedure for them. They will continue to exploit University workers only if the workers, the student body and the community are not made aware of their racist and s e l f - s e r v i n g policies. * More important than knowing the reasons for why we wère fired, are knowing the reasons for why we were reinstated and the people who reinstated us.
