S u m m e r N ew s Arizona State University Vof 1, No. 1 Juno 14, 1171 Special group reviews The U niversity has appointed a special committee to hear the appeals of students who have been denied adm ission, to ASU for academic reasons. The Arizona Board of Regents in the past has s tif f e n e d e n tr a n c e requirem ents, not only through tuition increases, but also by raising academic standards. As a result, in academic year 1972 more than 1,000 s tu d e n t a p p lic a n ts , including high school graduates and college tra n sfe rs, w ere turned away from ASU. D r. R oger Swanson, dean of admissions, said the special committee will reconsider applications p re v io u s ly d e n ie d , provided the student meets one of five requirements. He or she m ust: —(1 ). Have scored a t least an average of 55 an the G e n e ra l E d u c a tio n Development Test (GED). Candidates prim arily are v eteran s who did not complete high school. —(2). Have a t least a 2.5 high school grade average. —(3). Have Completed at least nine hours of college level studies with a C average. —(4). H ave good recommendations from high school counselors. —(5). Have demonstrated an upward trend in high school grades. Swanson also said the University is adopting a program to reduce the chance of lost credits when students tra n sfe r here from junior colleges. Transfer students from Arizona ju nior colleges alone numbered more than 1,400 in 1972. ASU accepts up to 64 hours of transfer credit from junior colleges, but studies show th a t the average student loses five hours in the process. H ie reason m ay be poor grades, or the student may have taken junior college courses which do not fit in w ith th e , U niversity’s curriculum . First 8-week session sign-up set for Monday Walk-through registration for the University’s second 8-week summer session will be held Monday, June 18, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Instruction also begins Monday and will last through Aug. 10. Students may carry as many as nine credit hours during the session, according to Dr. Denis Kigin, director of summer sessions. Registration m aterials may be obtained a t the Farm er Education Building Patio. ' Late registration will be held Tuesday, June 19, from 8:30 a.m . to noon and l to 3:30 p.m. in the Administration Building, directly west of the Memorial Union. Drop-add is scheduled for the Same day, place and times. Course fees are $18 per credit hour, and no refunds will be made after June 19, Kigin said. He emphasized that this 8-week session should not be confused witu the second regu lar jfcjgeek^gession which begins July 9. Early registration for the second regular session will be held June 25-27 and walk-through on July 7. Catalogs and further information are available at the Office of Stnnmer Sessions, Academic Services Building 110, 965-6563. Accordingly, Swanson [ and his staff now a re | designing a curriculum check sheet so that junior college students who plan to transfer here for a degree may know which courses to ta k e | beforehand. The programl contemplated is sim ilar to one instituted earlier this year at Northern Arizona I University in Flagstaff. Students planning to I tra n sfe r to NAU from community colleges can sign contracts which guarantee they will lose no credits upon admission-. The system requires, that the students meet with counselors, check im&b courses NAU will accept and sign a contract listing | those courses. Students wishing further I information regarding the ASU .program may. contact the University Admissions Office, Moeur 107, at 965-1 3252. The hot and heavy pace characteristic eff Summer Sessions dees not n ecessarly end a t the d o se o f the academic day.

Y V\ —v F ü g e 2 — T h u rsday, June 14 Justice: University President Dr. John Schwada outlined the long-range objectives of ASU’s Center for Criminal Justice in an address to the 35th Annual F ra te rn a l Order of Police Conference Tuesday night. Ten years ago fewer than 30 U.S. schools offered crim inal ju stice degree program s. Today th eir number has risen to more than 400. Schwada said that with federal support and the cooperation of law enforcement agencies, ASU' is developing a program which includes an undergraduate crim inal ju stice curriculum , a graduate program at both m aster’s and doctoral levels and w orkshops and sem inars for law enforcement officers. The program received a boost in January when it obtained funding through the Arizona State Planning Agency for specific training tasks. In planning the program, Schwada s a id ? -' 'th e • U niversity' resisted the temptation to develop a criminal justice -curriculum t* simply to have one. “ It will not be modeled Schwada outlines objectives of Criminal Justice Center after programs offered at other universities, nor will it duplicate courses offered in the community colleges or in the police academy,” he said. “ Rather, it will draw upon this University’s particular stren g th s to m eet the present and future needs of law enforcement officers, and will accommodate both pre-service and in-service students.” Schwada said the graduate criminal justice program now contemplated depends en tirely on available funding. -The U niversity has applied for help from the D epartm ent of Ju stic e ’s L aw Enforcement Assistance Administration, and also hopes to obtain funding for specific projects from the Office of Economic Opportunity. The ASU president told FOP delegates the Center’s staff has been m eeting regularly with police chiefs and sheriffs to establish a series of non-credit workshops. The group gave p rio rity ” Ito '' polic« management, so the first o four workshops on tha subject is scheduled for July. “The University did not attem p t to identify the lawman’s needs, but relied on the agencies to determine their own priorities,” he said. “The Center will continue to cooperate w ith law enforcement personnel in determining how needs can be m et through the U n i v e r s i t y ’s great resources.

Matthews exhibits Indian history in art A historical and anthropological history of the American Indian is now on display in early 20th century photogravures a t the University. The photogravures, from the volumes “Portraits From North American Indian Life” (1907-08), were done by Edward S. Curtis and represent documéntation of many aspects of life among In d ian s west of the Mississippi. Rudy Turk, director of University Art Collections, said when Curtis died in 1952 he was relatively unknown, but 50 years earlier he had been the friend and confidant of J. P. Morgan, President Theodore Roosevelt, Chief Red Cloud and Geronimo. The Hopi and Navajo tribes in Arizona knew Curtis well, for he visited them every year from 1900 to 1922. His participation in a Hopi Snake Dance was one of the most moving experiences of his life. In those two decades Curtis published the 20 volumes of text which comprise “Portraits From North American Indian Life.” In addition, he produced 722 photogravures in 20 large unbound volumes on fine paper. He studied 88 Indian tribes, took more than 40,000 photographs and recorded more than 10,000 Indian songs on wax recordings. Turk said during the last decade Curtis has won international acclaim as one of the world’s finest and most romantic photographers. The gravures in the ASU exhibit, from the collection of Santa Fe Indian a rt dealer Bob Ward, testify to his artistry and vision. He was able to reconcile his concepts of realism and romanticism with those attitudes among the people he photographed, Turk said. Curtis, in his first volumes, wrote of the Indian: “It is near Nature that much of ttie life of the Indian still is. “Hence, its story, rather than being replete with statistics of commercial conquests, is a record of the Indian’s relations with and lus dependence on the phenomena of the universe — thé trees and shrubs, the sun and stars, the lightning and rain — for these to him are animate creatures . . . ” The photogravures will be exhibited in the Matthews Center Art Galleries through July 30, from 10 a.m. to "5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

V T h ursday, June 14 — P a ge 3 In Provocative art exhibit Wild folks people MU The Memorial Union harbors some pretty desperate characters these days. Shifty-eyed, hunted men in the restrooms?

T hat’s w hat ASU’s University Players do in “See How They Run,” and according to director William Inglis, the result is “ chaos” and “ riotous entertainment. “Nothing is as it appears and everyone jum ps to o u tla n d ish co n clu sio n s without really knowing what is going on.” - This m adcap B ritish farce, written by Philip King and first produced in London, is now in its second and final week a t the Lyceum T heatre on campus.

P age 4 — T h ursday, June 14 ASU researchers probe Enigma of Devil's Triangle The Bermuda, or Devil's, Triangle. An expanse of ocean between M iam i, Bermuda and Puerto Rico which has claimed approximately 80 ships, 50 planes and thousands of human lives. Often under baffling circumstances. The most famous of the incidents: the 400-mile flight of five Navy torpedo bombers which stretched into eternity. They had left Fort Lauderdale on a calm December afternoon in 1945, planning .a short trip which included flight over the Devil's Triangle. After only a short time, the control tower received an emergency . call from the planes, saying that all five had lost directional orienta­ tion. It was nearly sunset, but they could not tell which direction was west. Then radio contact was lost. A search and recovery plane immediately was dispatched to the area, and it vanished, too. A massive search by the Navy provided no clues. Even though the planes were designed to float long enough to allow crews to man liferafts, no trace of them ever was found. But dram atic as it was, the incident was by no means the first of its kind in the sea triangle. It is unusual, therefore — and appropriately so — that after five centuries of notoriety there still is no single authoritative source which discusses the Bermuda Triangle. ASU reference librarians Larry Kusche and Deborah Blouin decided to remedy the situation, their motivation public interest— and the perplexity of librarians who have no answers to inquiries. Today, after a year involving hundreds of hours of research and letters, they have completed an extensive bibliography of 250 entries from books, newspapers, periodicals and government sources. They advertised the bibliography in scholarly journals and nehr receive 6
