90 local merchants w ill offer discounts to college students W e d n e sd ay October 12,1977 Arizona State University Voi. 60, No. 26 By Chet Barfield After eight months of promises and delays, penny-pinching students will receive discounts ranging from 5 to 40 percent from Tempe ■merchants as a result of a program initiated by the Associated Students Consumer Services office. Students will be able to pick up a pamphlet listing 90 local merchants and the student discounts they are offering Monday in the con­ sumer services office in the MU, the office director said. Tempe merchants, in shops ranging from hardware stores to horseback riding stables, will offer various discounts to students with ID cards, he said. Although the discounts will vary from store to store, Gould said the average discount available to students will be about 12 percent. Merchants participating in the discount program will display a placard in their store windows, Gould said. ASASU Vice President Dave Crowley started - the program eight months ago, but it was delayed because of a lack of personnel to help, Gould said. The office had six part-time volunteers who worked on the project. “There were about 250 merchants contacted. Even licking that many envelopes takes time," he said. state press “We didn't have enough people. It would have only taken three months if we’d had enough help," he said. Gould said the discount program also was stalled because of problems in obtaining ASASU funds for the window signs and printing of the booklet. Austin McAvoy, owner of Pioneer Camera, 19 E. 9th St., said his shop will participate in the program, but he has been giving discounts to ASU students all along. “It’s kept me here 17 years,” he said. McAvoy said the minimum discounts students receive in his store is 20 percent, with some items discounted up to 33 percent. ‘Tm creating a clientele that’s going to come back for processing, film and other services," he said. Gene Kobar, a 1971 ASU graduate and manager of Western Tire Sales, 101 S. Hayden Road, said he is offering a discount of 10 to 15 percent under the new program. "We offer the discount because we want our name out there (at ASU). We sell a good product,” he said. Gould said he was pleased Tempe merchants outside the immediate University vicinity showed an interest in offering discounts to students.

Babbitt, speaking at the ASU College of Law, said a showdown will occur when the Legislature convenes in January. “By January we will have kept the court at bay,” he said. “It will then be squarely in the province of the Legislature.” A ruling by U.S. District Judge Carl Muecke in September ordered a reduction of prisoners at Florence as a result of a suit filed by several inmates. At the time of the ruling, there were 2,120 prisoners in the facility — double the designed capacity. There are now 1,893 inmates and Muecke has ordered a reduction to 1,750 by the end of the year. Babbitt said public demand for tougher law and order has led to the overcrowding problem. “The public wanted stiffer sentences and more Renee m ightier than the Penn Former ASU tennis player Chris Penn was defeated Monday by Dr. Renee Richards in the Talley In­ dustry’s Phoenix Thunderbird Tennis Open.

The new Arizona criminal code, which goes into effect next year, will send a lot more to jail,” Babbitt added. “The question is are we really willing to pay the price tag for the commitment to law and order?” Babbitt said the state’s strategy in handling the lawsuit was to convince the court the prison was not being mismanaged. “We attempted to persuade the judge that the place is well-run within the limits of the resources they have,” he said. “We asked for a little breathing room to get things done. “The state strategy has prevailed," he added. “All it can do is buy us some time.” ' Babbitt said he did not plan to apply pressure on the Legislature to get them to act during the next session. “I’m trying to remain on the outside because it is not my position to make recommendations to the Legislature,” he said. “When the people and the Legislature see the alternatives, they will take action.” Babbitt said he felt the legislature will take some kind of action during the next session. Babbitt said the state has plenty of money to build a new prison. “There is always money available, the question is one of priorities,” he said. “Do you build new buildings at ASU or build a new prison?” Babbitt said ASU has the most effective lobby in the state in getting funds. “I look at some of the monuments on this campus, and wonder if $50 million shouldn't be used to build a new prison instead,” he said. Aside from funding, Babbitt said the biggest problem is finding a location for a prison. “We need a community that can stand a little citizen protest, because it is bound to happen,” he said. “We could build it in Mineral Wells out in the middle of nowhere, but how do you get an adequate staff? Nobody wants to live in the sticks.” Babbitt said he felt that state corrections director John Moran, who has been heavily criticized for his handling of the prison situation, has done an effective job. “It seems as though there is a witch hunt out looking for a scapegoat,” he said. “He is a very progressive administrator and has done a good job."

Thanks to everyone that joined in — both for your presence, and for the spirit of openness that made com­ munication work. It does my sanity good to experience community, to know that I'm not alone. I witnessed a couple of interchanges last week that led me to believe that the association was moving in the kinds of directions I’d envisioned for it. An English teacher and a physics teacher who had neighboring lockers in the gym for the last couple of years introduced themselves. A pair of students found information for a speech, several students were directed towards reading material which may help them and one teacher suggested to a student a class he thought she might find enjoyable. I met several people who've already helped me gain a different perspective of ASU. Though the consensus seemed to lean heavily towards having another association today, almost everyone was concerned by a lack of apparent purpose, direction, organization and goals (i.e„ nobody quite knew what was coming off). I'm the first to admit that I’m experimenting with the possibilities of association and am thus not any too sure about this myself. I’d hoped that the association would choose to establish its own nature. In some ways, it did. Some associates have suggested that we organize ourselves in groups of a dozen or so. I think humans tend to over-organize, but if someone feels a need to organize the association, be my guest. As far as direction goes, I’m drawing from last week’s ideas by suggesting a topic that I hope will serve as a jumping-off point. It is left for us to choose exactly which way we’ll jump. The topic I’m suggesting for today concerns the role faculty plays in a university community. What sorts of influence can faculty exert on the university com­ munity? To what end should this influence be directed? How do these ideals contrast with current practice? It also was noted that the faculty plays a primary role in establishing continuity. What is the power of continuity? Can an idea survive without the support of the faculty? How do faculty members organize themselves? What is the relationship between faculty membres and the Faculty Senate? What external and internal pressures limit faculty behavior? How? Why? It may be helpful to examine classroom experiences we’ve found particularly rewarding, or to contrast the current situation with past ones. I have a suspicion that we’ll find a variety of views on the faculty role, but that there will also be some underlying similarities. Who knows for sure? I suspect we’ve all some opinions on the matter and that we’ve all something to gain by sharing them. This afternoon at 1:30 on the lawn in front of West Hall will be a good opportunity to do exactly that. Presley Surratt and Stephen Schack Nazism: an alternative view It appears that in the modern period philosophy has been denigrated to propaganda, and minds have become clouded with a type of ideological unreality. Living in a world dominated by this spirit it therefore becomes virtually impossible for one to clearly understand any major philosophical, moral or social concern. A good example of this confusion is the manner in which the conservative and his philosophical positions are viewed by both popular culture and by the in­ tellectual class, which tends increasingly to nourish the popular mind. In addition to being stigmatized as racists, bigots and reactionaries by the mass media, professional in­ tellectuals (i.e. college professors) and the intellegentsia generally, conservatives have likewise had a most unfair, untrue and obnoxious myth associated with themselves and their views. This falsehood which, it seems, has permeated our entire political thought may be stated in the following terms: just as communism is the extreme extension of the left side of the political continuum, so is Nazism (or fascism to use the generic term) the radical limit of the right end of the political spectrum. Hence, so the myth continues, if one pushes a con­ servative too far one is liable to witness the emergence of a new Hitler and the development of a reinvigorated Nazism. This entrenched view that portrays Nazism as a radical version of conservative philosophy and Hitler as an extreme conservative is, to state the matter simply, absolutely false. So important is it that we defog our minds of this fraudulent myth, that the following will deal with an explicaiton of Hitler's Nazi philosophy to show that Nazism was (and is in so far as it exists any longer) a leftist movement and that Hitler was atypical social revolutionary on a level with Marx and Lenin. This perspective may at first astound many, but the assertion that Nazism and Hitler were specifically leftist in character is astonishing only if one accepts the tendentious cliches that we so often hear in relation to this subject. Stripped to its philosophical core, Nazism, like its supposed communist opposite, was a gnostic movement of the first order. At this point we must make an ex­ tended parenthetical digression to explain what we mean by gnosticism or gnostic movement. These designations are borrowed from Eric Voegelin and they are employed by him to outline the contours and consequences of modernity. (If you do not know who Eric Voegelin is simply ask your philosophy, political science, sociology or history professors about him. If they cannot answer your questions, demand that your tuition be refunded, and make your own inquiry into the matter.) Gnosticism, to explain the term simply, is the at­ tempt to create an earthly utopia — to build a heaven on earth. Gnostics, having denigrated the idea of a transcendent being or God, attempt therefore to bring God to earth. They, in other words, desire the fulfillment of a secular heaven — the Nazi folkisch state or the com­ munist classless society are perfect examples of gnostic utopias. Having discarded the notion of man as a finite being with a definitely limited nature, gnostics believe that human nature is pliable and that men may be trans­ formed into superbeings under the appropriate con­ ditions. Such conditions occur for the communist when the bourgeoisie is overthrown and the proletariat seizes control of the means of production. For the Nazi human transformation would take place when the bourgeoisie was eradicated (indeed Hitler detested the so-called capitalist class and found it responsible for the masses’ turning to communism), when the peculiarly egalitarian vision of a racially pure Aryan man was realized, and when the führer was elevated to the position of supreme social engineer. In this important respect then, Nazism was un­ deniably leftist-oriented. It was a modern gnostic movement which envisioned both societal and human transformation in the development of a secular state of perfection. (At this point, the conservative would respond by • insisting that by adopting these premises one is already on the road towards the concentration camp.) It may seem odd to those who cling to the belief that the left stands for peace, love and brotherhood, but Nazism likewise shares with other socialist variants a particular social prejudice: namely, anti-semitism.

University President John Schwada said it still is inadequate. “The budget approved by the board does not provide enough funds for ASU to replace old and purchase new equipment,” he said. ASU requested a $4.1 million equipment budget but the board approved only a $2.8 million budget for next year. ASU currently has a $1.7 million equipment budget. “It was impossible for the board to "NEW LIGHT ON THE TRIAL AND CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS" Lecture Sponsored By HILLEL U N IO N OF JEW ISH STUDENTS • 967-7563 Featuring Dr. Ellis Rivkin, well-known author, scholar, and professor at Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati. approve ASU’s request. We cannot give them more than double the amount we gave them last year,” said Robert Lawless, fiscal director for the Arizona Board of Regents. Schwada said ASU requested this in­ crease in order to have finances for an equipment depreciation plan. Under this plan, all movable equipment such as typewriters, 'calculators and microscopes would eventually be replaced every 10 years. “ASU needs this 10-year plan for equipment. The University has a more realistic outlook on the life expectancy for this equipment which is used for many activities such as scientific research, teaching and administrative purposes,” Schwada said.

ASU requested an $81.2 million budget. Although more money will be needed this year from tuition fees, an increase in tuition was not considered as a part of next year’s budget, because ASU projects an increase of 650 students for next year, said V. Alonzo Metcalf, ASU vice president for administration. The ASU climatology lab is working on a climate zone map for a California State agency, according to Dr. Robert Durrenberger, director. The study is being done for the California State Energy Commission. The map will pinpoint the solar radiation monitoring stations in various parts of California, D urren­ berger said. “We pioneered a similar effort in Arizona,” he said. “California asked us for assistance because we are the only state to have completed this task.” Durrenberger added that funds are still being sought from various sources to complete the Arizona network of solar stations. “The amount of money received from student tuition will increase because there will be a greater number of students next year,” he said. The board also approved a $533,600 contingency fund and Schwada said this is the first time in nearly six years that ASU had the sources for this fund. eecoooecoBOOcooeocosodee&soocooci) CONCERTS TAJ MAHAL with CALDERA Oct. 17 $6.

We’ve had 120-130 applications for ASU this fall, not nearly as many people as we could match up,” he said. This is probably due to the difficulty involved in placing students because of their varying schedules. Faculty and staff are much easier to match because they have set hours.” In the event the Phoenix Transit Bus Route 22 is canceled a greater demand for car pools might be created, he said. But it would be much better for everyone if the bus service remained. “People need different types of transportation. If the ASU bus route is canceled, car pools might increase but buses are much more efficient,” he' said. Bus Route 22 travels through Scottsdale along Scottsdale Road and runs directly to ASU. The bus line became an issue when Tempe dropped its subsidization this year and ASU refused to help with the expenses. Malamud said there was no charge or obligation for the service offered by Pool-It. The agency is funded by federal and local government grants, and has been organizing car pools on campus since 1975, he added. “In order to apply for a car pool, you fill out a form listing your name, hours, and location. This information is com­ puterized and matched up based on the hours you put down on your form,” he said. “We then supply you with a listing of other people with similar hours and similar locations. It’s up to you to contact those people to set up the car pool.” P¿sides saving money, car pooling has many benefits and sr,ne drawbacks, Malamud said. “You can save over $1,000 a year, reduce traffic congestion, conserve energy, reduce air pollution and save on mileage.” However, “Car pooling can restrict flexibility to a certain extent. There is also the responsibility to others to be on tim e,” he added. LAWYER’S ASSISTANT. . . a cha lle ng in g new career fo r college graduates.

The student representatives are Doug McNeal, Matthew Bistis, Annette Maglio, James Gryder and Polly Gibbons. The faculty members include Charles Patti, marketing professor; John Cochran, economic professor; Sherly Farness, art professor; Frederick Giffin, history professor; D.G. Kehl, English professor; Z.A. Prust, technology professor, and William Swinyard, marketing professor. Edward Peplow, manager of student publications, is a non-voting member. There was controversy over the nomination of student board members by Associated Students President Mark Barnes. Barnes was criticized by Pat Krahenbuhl, president of Pi Kappa Alpha, for inadequately representing the student body in his nominations of students. H IL L E L & Barnes originally nominated three ASASU officials to be on the board. However, Doug McNeal, campus affairs vice president, was the only one to be nominated because the other two officials withdrew their nominations. The committee serves as an adviser to the campus newspaper in the area of policy, publication content, publication evaluation and operating guidelines, Patti said. The board works under the guidelines set by Schwada in 1975. However, there are no guidelines concerning attendance. At the last meeting, only two student representatives were present. Six of the faculty representatives were present. The meetings are held at 3 p.m. on the first Friday of every month in the Matthews Center conference room. They are open to the public. At these meetings, the editorial, ad­ vertising and finance committees present their reports. - control on the basis of the newly developed computer program but anticipates that similar models will be 0°v SPEAKER follow ing services “ REVO LUTIO NARY IDEAS IN TR A D ITIO N A L JU D A ISM ” Featuring Dr. Ellis Rivkin, well-known author, scholar and professor at Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati.

Berman recently devel­ oped a computer program that tested the effects changing a time frame would have on air pollution in Maricopa County. He worked with a grant from the U.S. Department of T ra n s p o rta tio n of University Research. Berman found that the carbon monoxide buildup is largest during the evening rush hour because auto emissions remain near the ground after sunset. If the evening rush hour ended before sunset, normal sun and wind activity would significantly dissipate the pollutants, he said.

But during last drop-add period, nine out of 10 forms had to be corrected while being processed by computer because students failed to print numbers correctly, according to ASU Computer Services. And this high rate of error is causing the Registrar’s Office to doubt the merits of the new Optical Character Reader (OCRS) machine installed a year ago. This machine reads the numbers printed by students on early registration and drop-add forms, but only if thé numbers are printed a certain way. Misprinted numbers cause the OCR to stop and flash the number in question on a video screen. A keyboard operator iden­ tifies the number and punches it in correctly. Bill Haid, associate registrar, said the OCR was installed to replace an optical scanning machine. Under this old system, students had to write out numbers and then darken corresponding computer slots. The rate of student error was high and the machine often broke down, Haid said. “We were screaming for something because the optical scanning was so unreliable . . . ” Haid said. “They (Com­ puter Services) came up with OCR and we supported it,” Haid said. Lynn Bellamy, assistant vice president of computer services, said the Registrar’s Office specifically requested an OCR in a letter to computer services. Bellamy said although the error rate is high under the current system, he is not worried. “I think we have normal start-up problems with a new process and a new way of doing things and I’m not upset at all about th e m /’ he said. Haid said the Registrar’s Office is trying to develop a different form that will make it easier for students to w rite numbers correctly. The possibilities include traceable outlines or dots to make digital numbers, Haid said. The new forms should be ready for spring drop-add, set for Dec. 7,8 and 9, he said. If the OCR can’t be improved with new forms a return to optical scanning might be the answer, he added. “We’ve got to go with something. We can’t go with what we’ve got now," Haid said. Bellamy disagreed. “To go back to optical scanning would be a giant step backwards. It’s archaic,” he said, adding that it would also be ex­ pensive to repair the old machine. He said the OCR could be converted to optical scanning, but the machine’s efficiency would go down. Bellamy said other universities with an OCR handle the situation differently. “At Cleveland University if you fill out an illegible form, they return your form and as a consequence you go to the end of the line,” he said. However, he said, he feels the ASU system of correcting the students’ mistakes is a b etter method. Resting his tired feet, Mark Mulhem, 18, from New Jersey, stopped on campus last week. Mulhem was traveling with a friend across the country, who said they have been on the road for the past month. The pair said their basic plan is to see ail the Grateful Dead concerts they can.
