"3 N early h a lf sign cards on campus Service workers are unionizing By B ritton Bloom Wage inequities and abusive treatment have driven ASU’s service workers to begin organizing a union, said Lawrence DeLeon, an international representative of the American Federation of State, County and M unicipal Employes AFL-ClQ (AFSCME). m ASU employes organizing the union declined comment but DeLeon confirmed that organizing efforts have been un­ derway since December. DeLeon said around half of 300 workers, including electricians, plumbers, painters, groundsmen, custodians, physical plant workers and housekeepers have signed union cards. In another month-and-a-half the union will be ready to request recognition so it can discuss differences with the ad­ ministration. If the union is recognized, DeLeon said he didn’t think a strike woukl be necessary, but added that it was possible. Alternatives to. a strike include exerting political pressure through the governor’s office and the Board of Regents, or publicizing the issues to gain public support, he said: “The strike is the weapon of last resort But you’re damn right we will strike if it's absolutely necessary. We will do our part to avoid it; but, if fire employes vote for it, then we will. No employer, no state body, no city council will ever take away the right of public employes to strike,’’ he said. The state’s policy of paying a five per cent cost-of-livii formula that results in the higher salaries receiving the most money, he claimed. For example, a $7,000 to $8,000 a year groundsman would receive a $300 to $400 raise, while a $20,000 a year administratrator would get $1,000; the result is that two-thirds of the raise goes to those in the upper third of the pay scale, he said: A passible alternative to the five per cent raise system is a formula based on the increases in the consumer price index, he said. \ “For every three-tenths of a point in­ crease in the consumer price index, the employe would receive a penny raise in his hourly wages,” he said. “A little while back there was a flood in one of the buildings. The leak was found at 4:30. So the employer came over Ordering them to work until the water was cleaned up. And the employes said, ‘Well, fine, we’ll be glad to work. But are we going to be paid overtime?’ “ The employer chewed out most of the employes, saying, ‘This job comes first before your families; we can replace you,’ and all this garbage. Intim idation, harassment—the whole goddamn b it “Sure, the employes who did work got overtime, but they had to take that abuse to get the overtime. This is the type of treatment a lot of the employes are receiving,” DeLeon claimed. DeLeon said he expects the University to fight the move to unionize.

Saturday’s 98-79 rout of CSU was a repeat of the BYU game. This time, Scott Lloyd and Gary Jackson entertained the fans at CSU’s expense with some exciting schoolyard play.

Devil guard Rick Taylor (23) during ASU’s 0444 victory < Mrs. Kush thinks Tempe is nicer than 91.7 million By Tom Gibbons Most wives would be absolutely infuriated if their husbands turned down an offer that might have netted SI .7 million. But Mrs. Fran Kush isn’t unhappy that her husband, ASU head football coach Frank Kush, decided to turn down an offer (with a salary speculated to'be in the neighborhood of $1.7 million) to coach the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL. -“I’m glad to be staying,” Mrs. Kush said. “We’ve been in Tempe for twenty years now, so we have a lot of close friends and ties here. “I’m also happy that Frank won’t be putting any additional pressure on him self’ she said. “There is pressure ,enough on a person coaching in college. There is even more in the pros.” Despite h e r preference for staying in Tempe, Kush said she did not attempt to sway her husband’s decision. “No one in the family voiced their opinion,” she said. “We left him alone to decide. We all wanted it to be Frank’s decision. “And I would have been happy to go if he had decided to take the Philadelphia job,” she said. “If he had wanted a pro job, it would have been fine with me.” But the Philadelphia job was not what Kush wanted for a number of reasons, his wife of 23 years said. “ He’s never really been im­ pressed by a lot of money,” Kush said. “There are a lot of other things that are more important to him. “ I think he figured he wouldn’t be as happy coaching in the pros;” she continued. “ He likes to worjp with the kids and help them, and he wouldn’t have had that in the pros. “ In the pros, all the guys are older and...well, set, in their ways,” she said. “He likes to take these kids when they’re young and mold them. He likes to make them think more the way he does.” ; Another possible reason behind Kush’s decision according to Mrs. Kush, is next year’s team — a team which many, including Mrs. Kush, feel has a good chance to take the national title. “The fact that next year’s team will be very good, I’m sure in­ fluenced him some,” she said.

Freshman Tony Zeno pitched in with nine. There was some concern that the trip might hinder preparation , for the showdown Saturday night with Arizona, but ASU Coach Ned Walk felt the excursion was a positive experience. "This was our first win on an opponent's court,” • Wulk said. M o re a b o u t WAC wins continued from page 7 had surprising seasons. Taylor began on the bench as the. club’s third guard. The 6-2 sophomore would come off the bench to ignite the sputtering offense. But injuries to Rick McCutchen and Silky Holliman placed Taylor at the controls of the ASU offense. On Friday night, Taylor demonstrated that he was a truly competent ball-handler. In his finest performance of the seasop, Taylor quarterbacked the^-AMl rally by hitting on fetir quick hoops to tie the sport at 65 with 1:11 left to play ^'" “ Running the offense had always beien the strongest pan of my game,” said Taylor. “When McCutchen got hurt, I took over. No one told me, “ Look, now it’s your job to handle the ball.” I’d run the offense in nraejice the entire pre-season. I knew I was capable. Right-now, 1 feel great handling die ball.” The story is reversed for Ken Wright. After a strong season as a substitute last year, much was expected of the 6-7 forward. But Wright got off to a slow start, displaying a reluctance to shoot jand a timid approach to the backboard. Along came a freshman name Tony Zeno, and Ken Wright found himself back on the ASU bench. However, on Friday night, Ken Wright was on the court when k counted. Having had trouble^ scoring all year, he notched the game-winning hoop. “Wyoming knew I hadn’t been shooting all year. They left me wide open,” Wright said. “I knew they weren’t expecting me to shoot I hadn’t taken a shot all night I was 13 feet away when I got the balL The shot looked good so I flipped it in.” The following evening, Wright continued where he left off, hitting a season-high 14 points against CSU’s Rams. “The game winner last night really game me confidence,’’ Wright said. “ Everyone on the team has to contribute if we’re to win. I realized I had not been contributing, and I feel great being able to help the team the way I did this weekend.” Yesterday’s PROPHECY “Our only road victory was over Georgia Tech on a neutral floor.
