For orientation, workshops

High-schoolers, grads throng ASU
From now till the end of first summer session the
cherubic faces of high school students and
incoming graduates will dot the University
campus.
Most A SU students recall with amusement, or
perhaps horror, their initial stunning encounter
with the m assive bureaucracy and masonry
labyrinth the University has become.
The incoming graduates now here, however, are
transmuting shock to easy fam iliarity by taking
advantage of the Summer Orientation Program
before the hectic Fall-sem ester pace begins.

to coordinate special programs to be presented to
the public at no cost.
These include a jazz concert, art exhibition,
dance co n cert, forensics tournam ent, piano
ensemble, concert and a final highlight concert
featuring bands, orchestra and choir.
•
To avoid the perils of all-labor-no-leisure, the
campers can enjoy extracurricular activities such
as dances and movies, as well as trips to Big Surf,
Cam p Tontozona and Legend City.

Two-day programs for entering freshmen are
scheduled through Ju ly 6, with each geared for a
particular area of study in one o f the school’s
colleges.
In those two days the new admissions to-be
indulge in activities ranging from advisement and
pre-registration to X -R ay tests, from leisure
swimming hours to English exemption tests.
The University also has scheduled, concurrent
with the student programs, orientation for parents.
They will tour the cam pus, meet with alumni and
deans and generally learn what their children are
in for during the next four years.
One-day orientation programs are available for
transfer and readmitted students through Ju ly 3,
and a F a ll program will be offered from Aug. 21-25.
But that’s not all.
Starting Sunday and extending through Ju ly 7 is
the 28th annual Fine Arts Cam p, during which 300
high school students will converge on A SU for
instruction and participation in art, drama, dance
and speech performing groups.
Outstanding faculty members from A SU and
throughout the country will be on hand to instruct
the visiting pupils for the two-week period and also

Area renovation, blimps
among discussion topics
at city council meeting
Blimps and blighted areas were among the
topics on the agenda last Thursday when the
Tempe City Council approved a tentative 1973-74
city budget of $18.22 million.
Final word on the budget, along with a public
hearing, is scheduled for June 28.
In other action last week, the council
authorized Goodyear Aerospace Corp. to conduct a
feasibility study on the use of lighter-than-air craft
for police patrol work.
Officer George Rasmussen, planning and
research division, Tempe Police,, said limited
federal aid has made the study possible. One year
to 18 months will be required for the research, and
if instituted the program would not go into effect for
3 to 5 years.
'
He said many cities now use helicopters for
patrol work, but the lighter-than-air concept is
relatively new to law enforcement.
The advantages of dirigibles when'compared to
helicopters include less noise, less pilot fatigue and
greater platform stability, he said.

Allan Frazier, adviser to the Sahuaro yearbook staff, ruminates with friend on
things that might have been. The defunct Sahuaro, just as poor Yorick, once was
will-known.

On
ce-thriving Sahua
dies with rah-rah spirit
renovation program is delimited north and south by
Tempe Beach and Seventh Street, and west and east
by the railroad tracks and College Avenue.

The other location — "Victory A cres" on the city's
east side — has boundaries to north and south of
University Drive and Apache Boulevard, and west and
east of Price Road and the Tempe Canal.

The council also approved a long-range plan to
renovate two areas of Tempe, including much of
the downtown area and “ Victory Acres” on the
city’s east side.
Councilman D r. William LoPiano said the
program already has begun with the city
purchasing specific property in the two areas.
Property owners are paid the market value of
their holdings and moving and relocation costs if
they decide to leave. Otherwise they have the
option of renovating or rebuilding structures now
standing.
LoPiano said the city now has purchased
$300,000 worth of property in Victory Acres and
$100,000 worth in the general downtown area. Some
buildings in the areas require only minor
remodeling while others will need complete
rebuilding, he said.
Funding for the University-Hayden Butte
Project, as it is called, is slightly more than $1
million for 1972-73 and comes through the federal
governm ent’s
Neighborhood Developm ent
Program .

M urders, horrors
m ystery melodrama

The Bat

, , M urders, hidden m oney and secret cham bers are the
fa re tonight when the curtain rises on the U niversity
P la y e rs’ production of “ T he B a t.”
M ary R oberts R inehart and A very Hopwood team ed
for this m ystery m elodram a which has becom e a .
perennial favo rite; when it opened on Broadw ay in 1920,
it ran for 867 perform ances.
D r. D an iel W itt, in directing the p la y , has attem pted
to recapture the flav o r o f die 1920s through sets,
costum es, m akeup and actin g style. The resu lt, actionp ack ed and fast-m oving, is a m arvel o f the suspense
genre.
The plot revolves around a m aiden lad y of 60 who has
rented the sum m er hom e of a New Y ork banker reported
dead in Colorado a few m onths befpre.
W hen m ysterious things begin happening in the
house and it is learned that considerable assets o f the
dead m an ’s bank have disappeared, suspicion is created
that the banker, fa r from dead, hid the m oney in the
house and is w aiting for a chance to retrieve it.
In the course of action four separate characters
sim ultaneously search for the m oney: a gardner,
d etective, doctor and the m ysterious B a t. Com edy relief
is provided by a terror-stricken w ench.
From the opening scene till the last m om ents o f the
p lay the accu sin g fin g er points from one ch aracter to
another as the real crim in al keeps the audience
gu essin g.
“ The B a t” w ill be presented nightly at 8 in the
Lyceum Theatre from Ju n e 21 to 24 and 26 to 30. T ickets
are on sale a t the Lyceum box o ffice , 965-3437.

With murders in one's house, secret chambers amt'hidden
money — throw in an active corpse for good measure — what
can a poor woman tdo? One such lady, in the University
Players' production of "The Bat," consults the ouij* board.

Course
The only way a person can understand
the problems of a disadvantaged child is
to enter the child’s world and work
intimately with him.
Roger Verduzco, assistant professor of
special education, operates under that
premise and builds upon it in his course
entitled “ The Disadvantaged Child.”
This summer, as during the regular
academic year, 40 of Verduzco’s students
devote 2 to 3 hours a week and more in
volunteer work with Phoenix-area

to define attitudes
disadvantaged children.
“ This work is part of understanding,”
he said. “ It’s designed to develop
awareness — ‘other people’ awareness or
‘different people’ awareness, regardless
of ethnic backgrounds or economic
levels.”
Verduzco said his students purposely
are mixed with children of different
ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
“ We have Chicanos working in drug
education program s with white
teenagers, Oriental students serving as

volunteers with Blacks and Chicanos,
and whites tutoring Blacks and
Chicanos.”
R ealistic cultural differences and
attitudes of the dominant society make
acculturation a very difficult process for
most Indians, Chicanos and Blacks, he
said. For many Anglos who see the dif­
ferences firsthand the fact is startling.
Recognition of differences in attitude,
then, is a primary goal of Verduzco’s
course.
“ A person will find out he is more

aware of his attitudes, even if they are
negative,” he said. “ And that’s healthy,
because they will be better able to handle
intolerant attitudes.”
A concrete instance of success in this
regard is seen in some of his former
Indian students who had grown up in
society outside the reservation.
“ They had achieved some semblance
of acculturation,” be said, “ and then
returned to the reservation to teach, and
consequently understand and appreciate
their Indian culture better.”

Incoming freshmen yesterday, already assuming the mien of practiced upperclassmen, sat speechless while
listening to Associated Students spokesmen discuss the facets of student government and student body
activities, as part of A SU 's Summer Orientation Program.

"Near-perfect acoustics'

Physicist praises Qam m age
The U n m n ity ’s Grady Auditorium increasingly commands
prestige for iU symmetry o f design and near-perfect acoustics.
S ix y e a n age the m usic editor o f the Pittsburgh P ress, in
ilin n iF n ig u n j -use symphony h alls in Houston, Tem pe, Indianapolis,
Los A ngeles and M ontreal, said , “ O f them a ll, Tem pe perhaps has the
queen.”
T oday, an the eve o f the auditorium ’s g ala 10th anniversary
season, even grea ter tribute is paid by a w orld-fam ed physicist.
D r. V era Knudsen, chancellor em eritus a t U C L A , said , “ I believe
that the Gam m age Auditorium com es,closest to acoustical perfection
o f any p lace in the w orld, and it has set a new trend in the design of
concert haB s.”
■’s affin ity to acoustics is grounded in 50 years of research
and reflected in m ore than 500auditorium s and concert h alls.
In an a rticle in the U CLA W eekly he said he believes Gam m age set
a precedent by proving it was possible to build m ulti-purpose
auditorium s which can serve as theatre, concert h a ll, lecture h a ll,
assem bly and opera house, a ll in one.
Knudsen credits the success o f Gam m age to two m ajor
innovations:
One is the shape o f the auditorium , dom inated by large cylindrical
convex designs w hich elim inate converging snm d reflections and help
diffuse revertnrations and loudness uniform ly in a ll directions.
Second is the balcony, which is supported b y the longest free­
standing H iram in the w orld, rather than anchored to the rear w all as
is traditionaL A free flow of sound results.
“ T his w ay. both the people in the first balcony and especially those
sittin g w d u u eath it on the m ain floor are enveloped by direct and
reflected smmd from a ll directions,” Knudsen said .
