S e n a te p a n e l p a s s e s lia is o n b ill; la s t h u rd le s la te d fo r n e x t w e e k By Melissa Coons A bill establishing a student seat on the Arizona Board of Regents moved one step closer to final approval when it was passed Thursday by the Senate Education Committee with only one dissenting vote. If passed, the student liaison bill would allow a student representative from one of the three universities to be a non-voting member of the board. The only obstacle le ft to th e b ill’s final passage is approval on the Senate floor next week, which student leaders are confident will take place. “The first student liaison can be appointed as of May 15,” said P a t M itchell, executive director of Arizona Students Association. Two amendments to the original bill had been tacked on in the House. The first would enable the board to remove the student by a two-thirds fr id a y A pril 7, 1978 Arizona State University Voi. 60 No. 100 vote. The second amendment would grant the board the right to exclude the student from an executive session by a two-thirds vote. “We have no real problems with the first amendment," Mitchell told the committee. He said an earlier amendment in the House would have excluded the student from all executive session meetings, and added the revised amendment was the result of a com­ promise between ASA and House leaders. “Now, seven of the board members would have to vote to exclude the representative. We don’t feel there are seven who will vote that way. I don’t believe it (the amendment) will be used at all,” Mitchell said. Associated Students President Mark Barnes said ASA members had no intention of opposing the revised amendment. “It would have been suicide. If we fool around s ta te p re s s ™ Tempe, Arizona V with it, the bill would have to go to a conference committee and back to the House. It would be killed," he said. Mitchell and Barnes agree the bill’s lack of provisions for a student vote will not be a problem. “Usually the decisions by the board are by consensus and not a vote,” Mitchell said. Lance Ross, ASASU's director of legislative affairs who is on the ASA board, said he favors a voting student representative to the board. “But if things go well, the bill might be amended next year to allow a vote,” he said. M itchell said he ag rees the bill will be revised, although he added that may not happen until its expiration date in May, 1981. “We feel confident it will work, and when we can show how well it works, we can upgrade it,” he said. “We’ve talked to several representatives over the past year, and we feel the Senate is favorable,” Barnes said. "We have assurance from the leadership that it will not be amended there.” The bill would enable the governor to choose which university would be the first to send a re p re se n ta tiv e to th e board. The stu d en t legislative body of that university then would submit three candidates to the governor, who would make the final selection. The three universities would alternate repre­ sentatives. For flood control Alternative for dam unfeasible, corps says By Mary Gillespie A major Orme Dam alternative that has gained recent popularity among w a te r e x p e rts and e n ­ vironmentalists has been deemed unfeasible as the answer to flood control and storage, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers said Thursday. Joe Dixon, project director of the Phoenix Urban Study for the corps, said a March 31 story in the Phoenix Gazette was inaccurate in stating that groundwater recharge could eliminate the need for Orme Dam or an o th er s tru c tu re to regulate and store excess Valley floodwaters. The recharging of groundwater, which involves infiltrating and percolating extra water into the water table aquifers where it can be sto re d and tap p ed when needed, is a “viable concept, but totally unfeasible at this time,” Dixon said. He explained th a t th e tw o facto rs th a t m ake th e plan u n realistic now, are th e many technical tests still necessary to determ in e w o rk ab ility , and current laws governing land and water rights that would have to be changed to accom m odate a recharge system. ‘‘On th e su rface, you have control over who owns the water and where it goes. But when you get into recharge, it becomes a grab bag. Anyone with a well can pump. “Obviously, the laws must be modified before a system like this could work,” Dixon said. G roundw ater rech arg in g has proved successful in p a rts of California, he said. Arizona obtains its water from three major sources: importation from the Colorado River, flood spillage and treated sewage that is recycled into usable water. Dixon said th e Corps of E ngineers originally was m an­ dated to study the whole realm of w ater resource and usage problems in the area, but since has deferred its authority to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The corps’ urban study involves exam ining five m ajor a re a s — flood control, w aste usage, re creatio n , con serv atio n and wildlife concerns. He said th e g ro u n d w aterrech arg e idea was tab led in September by the Interagency Task Force for Orme Dam alternatives because the necessary testing could not have been com­ pleted in time to be consistent with the C entral A rizona P ro ject timetable. That timetable since has been changed due to the federal govern­ ment’s rejection of Orme Dam. The b en efits of a rech arg e system would be numerous, Dixon said, including minimal disturbance of wildlife, increased savings of hy d ro electric pow er and a steady balance of the water table aquifers. “Groundwater is like money in the bank,” he explained. “It can be withdrawn when you need it and la te r deposited o r rech arg ed again.” D o u b l B U d tG ___ These two seem to be carried away with their work.

Berkowitz. Justice Joseph Corso issued the ruling after re­ viewing new psychiatric re­ ports on Berkowitz. Media lawyers have argued for an open hearing next Wednesday on constitutional grounds and also because the defendant's first competency hearing last October was open to the public. Corso said an open hearing would excite the com­ munity to the point that a fair trial would be impossible. FOR PARK, THE PARTY’S OVER WASHINGTON — Korean businessman Tongsun Park, whose lavish parties for mem­ bers of Congress were part of an $850,000 influence-buying campaign, keeps his party­ giving to a minimum these days. When not testifying about giving envelopes stuffed with cash to dozens of congressmen, Park has spent his evenings at the movies, in favorite restaurants, and at two or three small dinner parties. ROBOTS USED IN CAMPAIGN W A S H IN G TO N — “ Star Wars” characters R2-D2 and C3PO and Captain Kangaroo are joining forces with the federal government to publi­ cize a child immunization program. Joseph Califano Jr., secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Wel­ fare, reported Wednesday out­ breaks of mumps and measles have dropped 65 percent in the last six months. But he said a bigger push is needed to immunize poor and preschool youngsters against the seven major preventable childhood diseases. Part of that effort will include television, news­ paper and magazine ads fea­ turing the slapstick, mecha­ nical “Droids” from the hit science fiction movie. PANAMA AGAINST TREATY ADDITION PHOENIX — Panama op­ poses a key amendment to the Panama Canal treaty and may be trying to circumvent it. Sen. Dennis DeConcini's of­ fice said Thursday. The amendment, offered by DeConcini, D-Ariz., and approved as the Senate voted March 15 to ratify the first of two canal treaties, would allow U.S. intervention if Canal Zone neutrality were violated. DeConcini added provisions allowing the United States to intervene to protect the area and keep the canal open, even after the year 2000, when the canal would be under Panama’s control. IRE TO RECEIVE SPECIAL AWARD TUCSON — A special jour­ nalism award will be pre­ sented later this month to a team of reporters and editors which spent six months prob­ ing crime in Arizona, ac­ cording to Sigma Delta Chi, the Society of Professional Journalists. Society judges said Wednesday the Investiga­ tive Reporters and Editors Inc., will receive the special honor because the 23-part series which resulted from the probe went beyond the scope of regular awards. The award will be presented April 29 at the society’s 46th annual awards ceremony in St. Louis. The IRE was formed after the June 1976 car-bomb death of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles. VIETNAM FLYING U.S. AIRCRAFT BANGKOK, Thailand — Vietnam is m anufacturing spare parts to keep captured American-made aircraft fly­ ing, and has trained about 400 technicians to do the repairs, the Vietnam News Agency said Thursday. The Commu­ nists captured many jets, transport planes and helicop­ ters when the South Vietna­ mese government fell in 1975. The U.S. Defense Department estimates the Communists captured some $2 billion in usable arms and other military equipment.

PRISON FUNDING NEARS APPROVAL PHOENIX — The Arizona House tentatively approved $7.5 million in immediate funding Thursday for the state prison system, including $2.3 million for architecture on two new prisons. But lawmakers stipulated that the new facili­ ties may not be located within three miles of a school. Under terms of the proposal, which was expected to win final House passage later today, Gov. Bruce Babbitt would have sole authority for de­ ciding on the sites for any additions to the state’s over­ crowded corrections system by July 1. HAYES ARRESTED ON DRUG CHARGE DALLAS — Police in the Dallas suburb of Addison arrested former Dallas Cow­ boys wide receiver Bob Hayes and another man early Thurs­ day on drug charges. Hayes, 35, and Bob Adler, 29, were charged with delivery of co­ caine after what police said was a raid capping a threemonth investigaton. Hayes, vice president of Dycon, Inc., won two Olympic gold medals in 1965. He was a favorite target of then-quarterback Don Meredith and ended his career after being traded to the San Francisco 49ers. Adler is a Dycon salesman.

Mitchell, who will take office in July, received 5,190 votes, followed by Lula Mae Hudson with 1,677, and Dias Koustopoulos trailing with 399. Councilmen re-elected The two incumbent councilmen who sought re-election, Beverly Hermon and James Phillips, both regained their seats with more than 50 percent of the vote. Tuesday’s election was a primary, with any candidate pulling 50 percent or more of the vote winning his seat. The top two candidates who received less than 50 percent will vie for the remaining council seat in a run-off election on May 9. Seeking a third city council seat in the general elections a re A rt Svob, who received 3,398 votes, and Scott Clayton, who received 2,192. Candidate totals Vote totals for other candidates were Carl Colle, 2,040; Ray Cox, 1,819; Prentice Williams, 1,277, and Ed Ball, 899. Jerry Romero and Charles Small, two candidates who withdrew from the race just before the elections but whose names were left on the ballot, received 275 and 187 votes respectively. M itchell, a go v ern m en t te a c h e r at Tempe High School, said he will bring the city council together as soon as possible to Changes needed, candidates say “estab lish some re a listic goals and p rio ritie s for Tem pe in th e next two years.” He cited A rizona's rapidly grow ing population is a major concern, but added he thinks Tempe has handled its expansion well so far. Land development “Some problems may arise when vacant land that people have become accustomed to — such as at Southern and McClintock — begins to be developed more and more. “Tempe’s boundaries already have been set; now it’s going to be a m atter of filling in the spaces," Mitchell explained. The mayor-elect said the city council has established a master plan for the city’s development. However, he added “it may be tough to implement.” Mitchell said plans to build a regional center to draw revenue have failed in other cites, but that a new development, to be called Fiesta Mall, is in the works and will be located on Southern Avenue, just across the Mesa city line. The Associated Students First Council should be restruc­ tured or abolished altogether, according to primary candidates for executive vice president. Write-in candidates D. C. Hoffman and Greg Rasputin, who was represented by Jennifer Sharkey, spoke Thursday at West Lawn in the third in a series of election forums. “First Council is not working," Sharkey said. “It’s not worthless but it needs changes.” First Council is a body of student representatives from all colleges. Although representatives traditionally have been appointed by the colleges, members may be elected through atlarge elections this year to assure greater representation. “College councils have served only the people who were on them," she said. Hoffman said democratic representation could be guaranteed through stronger advocacy by executive officers and through refurbishing the council. He suggested possibly returning to the senate system, which was abolished several years ago. Sharkey said by abolishing First Council and starting fresh with a new system, enthusiasm and student interest could be rekindled. Sharkey said Rasputin feels the current college council system is ineffective. Hoffman disagreed with Rasputin’s proposal to completely abolish the council. “ASASU will die with the death of First Council,” he said. “The enthusiasm won’t be instilled." The executive vice president presides over the First Council and also handles budgetary responsibilities for ASASU. Rasputin is a junior majoring in theology and marketing. Hoffman is a junior majoring in business administration. A ‘bedroom community’ Mitchell termed Tempe a “bedroom com m unity,” indicating th a t a high number of Tempe residents live within the city limits but work elsewhere. “We need something on the order of a MetroCenter in our area to stimulate the local economy,” he said. The city clerk’s office said 7,401 votes were cast on Tuesday, approximately 17.5 percent of Tempe’s 42,015 registered voters. M itchell said th e precin ct w ith th e lowest voter turnout — a recorded 5.2 percent of registered voters — was the “Sin City” area. _____________ Policies w ill protect ASU, director says The new off-campus class policies adopted by the Board of Regents will give ASU a protected territory it has never had, the regent’s academic planning coordinator said Thursday. “Right now Northern Arizona University or the University of Arizona could offer an extension course one block away from the ASU campus. But beginning in the fall of 1978, no one but ASU can teach off-campus courses in this area," Dr. William Phillips said. The policy, which was adopted March 11, assigns Maricopa County east of Seventh Avenue and south of Shea Boulevard to ASU. Classes not offered by ASU are excluded.

While millions of Americans are forced to subsist on meager incomes and suffer the pangs of poverty many people continue to chastise those on welfare and blame the poor for their problems. But who is it that really shoulders the burden of taxes in this nation and who is it th a t are the real recipients of welfare and free handouts? According to a study by U.S. Rep. Charles Vanik, DOhio, 168 major corporations used extensive loopholes to pay about 13 percent (a rate comparable to a family of four with a $20,000 income) on profits although corporations should pay 48 percent on profits. A Treasury Departm ent study released by Sen. Edmund Muskie revealed that individuals now pay three times as much as th e major corporations do, while one third of all tax breaks for in­ dividuals went to 1.4 percent of the wealthiest individuals. The staff of the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation prepared the report released by Vanik. The report found that 17 corporations paid no taxes at all on $2.6 billion on income. These corporations include five steel firms (U.S. Steel, Bethlehem, ARMCO, National and Republic), three airlines (American, Eastern and Pan Am), three utilities, and the Chase Manhattan Bank, Singer, and General Dynamics. What is appalling is that all this is legal and in order for a person to enjoy the benefits of tax breaks he must get richer and richer, something most Americans will never accomplish. Over the last decade the corporate share of the national tax burden has dwindled drastically. The corporate share has fallen from 23 percent in 1967 to 14 percent in 1976. Coupled with this trend is the arrival of higher social security payroll taxes, which will only aggravate the regressive nature of the tax system. A major development towards increasing the number of corporations that do not pay taxes is President C arter’s tax reform plans. The proposal to drop the corporate tax from 48 percent to 45 percent could allow almost one third of all major corporations to be taken off the tax rolls. Referring in particular to the foreign tax credit, Mr. Vanik has called for a national tax policy, “. . . not determined by the strength and persistence of lobbyists.” The Treasury study shows that almost half of last year’s $84 billion in individual tax breaks went to less than 5 percent of all Americans, those earning over $30,000. Nearly one third of those benefits went to just 1.4 percent of the taxpayers with incomes over $50,000 a year. A t the same time those making less than $10,000 (52 percent of the taxpaying population) received only 12 percent of the benefits. Several of C arter’s proposed tax changes would result in middle-income groups being hit hardest. One such change is the proposal to limit deductions for medical ex­ penses and eliminating deductions for state and local gasoline taxes. Rep. Vanik argues th at reform means “not just tax reduction, but justice, efficiency, and simplicity.” The time has come when measures must be taken to forestall the major corporations and the wealthy elite from what is nothing less than “welfare for the rich.” There are too many poor people in this nation of ours for a small percentage of our population to grow richer and richer at the expense of the vast majority of American taxpayers.

She played the role of a freedom-loving intellectual, who sacrifices her life, in an attempt to retriev e Jewish captives from the Nazi strongholds. Those who know about Vanessa Redgrave as an individual can speculate that this award also compliments the person Vanessa Redgrave, along with the actress Vanessa Redgrave, for being a freedom fighter in her every day life. There is a commonality between her role and her real life. It is a commonality of committment; a committment to freedom — freedom for everyone. She was an outspoken critic of the Vietnam war, and she stood up for the worth and dignity of human person, without consideration for caste, creed or color. One may or may not like her ideology, but one (if one is being fair) will have to admit that Vanessa is among those rare artists whose lives reflect their art, and whose art depicts their lives. This unity of thought and action makes it almost impossible to distinguish between her art and her life. She is like a picture that has become alive; or a poem that has become all the colors that it talks about. It is an aesthetic “becoming" of life into art forms — a very interesting one. Very much like in the movie, she has to face ideological opposition in her real life. Right outside the hall where she was going to receive her award, she had to confront the angry members of the militant Jewish Defense League, who were there to demonstrate against her support for the Palestinian people. JDL had earlier tried to pressure 20th Century Fox into blacklisting Vanessa Redgrave. But their effort didn’t draw any support, not even among “Hollywood’s disproportionately Jewish community.” JDL, by its own action, was isolated from the majority of Jewish people of that area, who obviously understand the value and worth of individual freedom or else Vanessa couldn't have received the award. Therefore, I am obliged to say these Jewish judges are no less freedom-loving than Vanessa has proven herself to be. These people have demonstrated complete understanding of the philosophy of freedom; they have shown that they know that determ ination of an ‘objective universal tru th ’ by any one group leads to authoritarianism and gives birth to tyranny and oppression. They know that one group cannot be declared to be right or wrong all the time. A group can be wrong about one thing and still can be right about another. With this belief Vanessa supports the Palestinian people but she also reiterated her support for the Jewish people (as she said in her award acceptance speech, “I will continue to fight against anti-sem itism ’’ and she chose to distinguish Judaism from Zionism which she had condemned earlier. It appears as if Vanessa simultaneously supports the rig h t of self determination for Jewish and Palestinian people, and simultaneously condemns Zionism and anti­ semitism. In other words she doesn't support people for who they are but for what they represent. Her speech was a bold and refreshing commentary on the Middle East situation because the Jews and Palestinians have turned into a Chinese fable, which tells about a man who dreamt that he was a butterfly. When the dream was over he couldn’t tell if the man had dreamed about being a butterfly or the butterfly had dreamed about being a man. Any attempts to examine the interlocked situation of these two displaced peoples only leads to a similar confusion. But a simultaneous support for both Jewish and Palestinian homelands and a simultaneous op­ position of both Zionism and anti-semitism ends this confusion and demythologizes the fable. It is a good beginning point for those who want peace and justice for all — Jews and Palestinians alike. This clear cut thinking on the part of Vanessa Redgrave makes it safe to say that usually Oscar awards bring honor to people; but Vanessa is among those people who bring honor to Oscar awards, and associate with it such virtue and courage that it makes Oscar awards stand for something more than just acting.

The most extensive damage to Univer­ sity property was to a parking lot designed to hold 3,000 cars north of Sun Devil Stadium, he added. Besides the rebuilding and repaving of the lot, lighting fixtures, and hundreds of feet of fence, a 1,200-foot cast-iron water line must be installed. "We took a gamble when we built the lot. We knew th e lot was in th e Salt (River) overflow area, but at the time we approved construction, we thought that Orme Dam would have been built,” he said. If the dam on the convergence of the Salt and Verde Rivers had been com­ pleted, the parking lot would probably have been undamaged, G arrett said. But th e re is m ore to the job th an rebuilding, said Bob Fails, physical plant administrative director. “Until he (someone considering entering a bid) looks at how much crap he’s got to haul out of there, he’s not going to bid,” Fails said. Negotiations as to precise amounts will begin after bids are submitted, Fails said. "B eing a s ta te agency, we have a complex bidding procedure set by law. I wish it could be done quicker, but if I had my way I wouldn't pay my income taxes, either. It’s just the way it is,” he added. More damage may have been inflicted on ASU property than federal inspectors may have observed, said Jack Penick, vice president for business affairs. And as a result, less money may have been allocated than necessary to complete the job, Penick added. “We had a water line dug up for their inspection, but it was impossible to tell how much damage there was to it. We’ve been told by federal representatives to go ahead and accept bids on repairing the line and we’ll apply later for additional money to pay for it," he said. The additional cost may be between $20,000 and $80,000, “but it’s hard to say at this point,” Penick said. Abundance o f grass, weeds could result in fiery summer Arizona’s wet spring could be the cause of a fiery summer, a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service said Thursday. "There is an abundance of grass and weeds in the state's fields and forests,” said Jerry Ew art of the forest service’s timber and watershed office in Phoenix. The Valley has always had this danger, Ewart said, but this year's rains make danger more eminent than in the last few years. “Roadside fires are the g reatest danger," he said. "Cigarettes, exhaust and just the heat could cause great problems on roadsides and in recreational areas.” A spokesman for the National Weather Service in Phoenix said the problem is not a new one. “The Valley expects fires every summer. There is just so much more available fuel due to rains this year,” the spokesman said. May and June are normally dry, he said. "Because of this, the forest service is beefing up its patrol and prevention efforts," Ewart said. He said if weather permits the forest service probably could burn out areas that may cause the problems this summer. “All we can do is put a more intense effort into our work so we can zero in on the more hazardous areas.” With 1st Month’s Storage on Any 5x8 or 5x10 Unit.

MINI-STORAGE ASU’s College of Law turned over a silver bowl trophy to the University of Arizona after losing the eighth annual Joseph S. Jenckes Jr. Advocacy Contest Wednesday in Tucson. The contest, sponsored by the Arizona Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers, was open to second- and third-year law students. Thomas Hall, UA law professor, said the contest serves as a memorial to the late Joseph S. Jenckes Jr., a Phoenix trial lawyer. Winners from the UA were Corinne Cooper and David Ramage-White. ASU participants were Bert VanWagner and Richard Gerry. Gerry said ASU represented the plaintiff in a summation to a trial in connection with a lawsuit. ASU has won the contest twice, he added. “They (UA) had a good team this year. It was pretty much a judgment call,” he said. Hall agreed. “I think it was a very close contest. The contest certainly brings out the competitive instincts of the parties involved. It is a valuable training ground too.” Acting Law College Dean Alan Matheson and Assistant Dean Rhoda Keppell attended the contest. Matheson returned the silver bowl trophy to UA. “We passed it reluctantly. They were two fine teams. It was a great performance,” Matheson said. The winning team received a $250 cash award and the small silver bowl. Gerry and VanWagner each received $150. The trophy will stay at UA until the 1979 contest. Gerry said he hopes next year’s location at ASU will be an advantage in regaining the contest title. “We’ll be back on home court,” he said.

How do you tell someone you have a summer job making vampire’s blood? A lthough John and his problem a re hypothetical, ASU students have been hired in past summers by a local firm that makes the simulated blood and glow-in-the-dark fangs. The items are used to accent the wardrobes of goblins and w itches stepping out on Halloweeen. This job is ju st one of many unique summer jobs that have been made available to students through the ASU Career Services Office. Dr. Robert Menke, director of the office, which is located on th e first floor of th e Academic Services Building, said ASU students have opened clams, taught old ladies to play backgammon and milked scorpions. “I remember when a lady called us and asked if we had any sailors on cam pus,” M enke recalled. “She said she wanted some canvas seatcovers made for her car.” Menke explained sailors familiar with the old sq u are-rig g er sailing ships are skilled at mending and sewing canvas sails. “We found her one, too,” he said. Career services handles free job referrals for students interested in part-time or summer jobs, as well as referring graduates to full-time job openings. Menke said the office received a summer opening a year ago for a bookkepper at a massage parlor. After careful consideration he decided not to list it. Pat Houlihan, assisstant director, said once a job opening came in for a night/weekend delivery driver. Delivery jobs are not unusual at Career Services, but this one involved delivering bodies from hospitals and morgues to local mortuaries. Restaurants also require unusual skills oc­ casionally, Houlihan said. "We once had an opening at a health foods restaurant for a juicer,” he said. “The job in­ volved squeezing various fruits and vegetables to make health drinks." A more recent opening called for a “catsitter” to take care of 50 cats in a residential home. ASU once received notice of regular summer jobs at a casino in Reno, Nev., ranging from card dealers to bartenders, he said. “Because our fall semester starts earlier now than it used to, the casino isn’t as interested in ASU students,” Houlihan said. “The students would have to leave work too early.” YEAH, right, we a weed DEUlVERy 8 0 / RIGHT AvvWY. „ . w e l l ,T he hours a r e low^ B u t THE p/w IS GOOD AND THECE/S ALWAYS SOMEONE _ AROUND TO TALK TO .. .

In fact, her confirmation in February went all but unnoticed by student leaders who continue to fight a more than four-year battle to install a student liaison with full voting and access privileges among the regents. "T hat’s because my ap­ pointment was completely removed from the liaison issue,” Esther Capin, 43-year-old full­ time graduate student at the University of Arizona and mother of five, said. “I was appointed for an eightyear term by the governor, not elected by students, so my studies (toward a m aster’s degree in counseling and guidance) at UA really had nothing to do with it in that sense,” she explained. Capin lives in Nogales with her husband, Dick (of the Capin's department store chain), and three of her five children (the two eldest attend Stanford U niversity). Capin said she believes she was appointed by then Gov. Wesley Bolin “because I represent a different area than Phoenix or Tucson, and because I'm a woman.” Capin was active in local and state programs before her ap­ pointm ent to th e board, in­ cluding a stint on the state Board of Medical Examiners and the Government Committee on the Status of Women. Capin’s life can be summed up in one word: busy. “I like it that way,” she ad­ mitted. “I don’t have much spare time, but what I do have is spent reading — I love mysteries — or listening to music. I really enjoy all the performing arts.” She said she believes the apprehension felt by some board members toward a student regent has been appeased somewhat by the clause in the latest proposal that stipulates that the liaison could be excluded W h at you s h o u ld k n o w a b o u t d ia m o n d s : Carat Weight Diam ond size or weight is m easured in carats.

D u ry ’s o n stag e p e r ­ formance is a strange but successful combination of the best of both rock ’n’ roll influences — the basic rockd riv e rh y th m s and sin g ­ song choruses of the Blue Caps and th e suffering masochism of punk antics and regalia. It is no wonder that he denies the validity of the punk label that is so often attributed to him. . During the course of the tw o shows a t th e Roxy, Dury offered at least a halfdozen th an k -y o u s to th e crowd, and at one point he apologized to members of the audience who found him rude. With that, a young lady approached the stage and handed Dury a rose, which he strung onto the microphone. W hat kind of a punkrocker is this? Dury’s presence on Stiff has something to do with his being labeled a punker. “You see here,” he says, motioning to a tour ID tag attached to his ragged shirt, another on a jacket. ‘These here are labels. That’s my reco rd in g com pany. But none of us w ants to be labeled any fu rth e r th an that. “I’m 35. How can I be a punk?

When I put the question to him again, he quickly points out th a t he is not a copiest, r a th e r he is an innovator. started up a little again.” I mention to Dury that members of many punk-rock groups have been quoted in the last couple of months as having criticized the more successful rock stars for the amount of money they make and the lifestyle they lead, calling it hypocritical in the sense of what rock ’n’ roll is about. I mentioned a few names to him. “It’s really hard to be rich and famous. I know Jagger and Stew art and Page, and they’re all bloody diamonds. F ram p to n ’s a good bloke too. W hat’s amazing to me is that they’re just like me. It’s hard to live with fame and be normal. “Being a punk is a thing of being young. Johnny Rotten “ I was a punk before is a good chap.

The band, all educators, played a t th e Adelaide A rts Festival, in the Sydney Opera House, and in several small clubs. Ferguson said he enjoyed his stay in Australia, and was im pressed by the beautiful country and the warm people. "The audiences were especially responsive in th e jazz clubs,” he said. Ferguson has quite a list of cred en tials. Before coming h ere, the professional pianista rra n g e r ta u g h t music, including jazz studies, at Memphis State University A S U jazz bands lay it on crow d A diverse program of jazz was presented by three student en­ sembles in the Music Theater Tuesday night. The music ran the gamut from be-bop to funk, with an emphasis on more modern jazz. The first group, an octet led by Stan Sorenson, made effective use of their four-member horn section with an arrangement of Herbie Hancock’s “Maiden Voyage.” “Coral,” a Keith Jarret composition, featured soothing improvisations, while Joe Beck’s “Penny Arcade” allowed for more energetic wailings. The second group, the Dale Armstrong Quartet, introduced a fresh sound through their choice of material. Armstrong’s vibes blended well with the guitar, bass and drums, resulting in a flowing sound. Their selections featured compositions by Larry Coryell, Richie Beirach and Jan Hammer, and included an Armstrong original, “Synopsis.” Trombonist Mike Lake finished out the concert with his quintet, opening with “Elsa,” a buoyant waltz, and following with Ray Pizzi's “Willow Creek.” Lake’s trombone shadings were colorful throughout his performance as he improvised on long melodic lines. Wayne Shorter’s “Beauty and the Beast” was to be the last piece, but by audience request, the group performed an encore, jamming on “Autumn Leaves.” Two more jazz concerts are scheduled for the remainder of the year. Monday the ASU Jazz Band I will perform, and on April 17 the ASU Jazz Band II and the Workshop Band will perform. Both con­ certs will be held in the Music Theatre at 8 p.m. Admission will be free. —Suzanne McElfresh Diversions k “ Annie H a ll” Academy Award-winner for Best Pic­ ture, continues at the MU Movie House at 7, 9:30 and 11:30 p.m. “ A S treetcar Named Desire” will be pre­ sented at 7 and 9:45 p.m. Sunday and “The Green Wall” will be shown at 3,7 and 9:30 p.m. Monday.

The Black Theatre Troupe, currently performing this great play, rem inds of yet another image on the historical palimp­ sest of war and oppression in pointing up the relevance of this play to the black experience. Simply to have black actors speak the lines which combine the most frenzied grief in the most lucid expression is perhaps enough to evoke their relevance to black history. One of the few attempts to link the play with a black audience's emotional store is in the use of contemporary music by black a rtists , both soul and the distinctly religious. This is used intermittently throughout the play and at tim es, as anachronistic as it may seem, it is strikingly apt emotionally. An example is when the dead body of Andromache's small son is brought on stage. Andromache is herself already bound for Greece, a slave. Other Trojan women, the chorus, wait with th eir queen, Hecuba, for the Greeks who will claim them as their slaves. The child is laid before Hecuba, his grandmother, who mourns him and her long line of grief which is the loss of both country and family. As the women adorn the body for burial a beautiful rendition of the “Lord’s Prayer” is played. As Lynda Gravatt (Hecuba) explained, such musical background has the very definite purpose of bridging the remoteness of time and place, the formality of the lines, and exposing the emotion common to all people oppressed and en­ slaved. Though Edith Hamilton's translation of the text was used specifically because it was felt to be the most graspable for an audience, the utm ost con­ centration is required to fully relate to the brilliant poetry. In a sense the music acts also as a translation which can free the emotions th a t the sometimes forbiddingly quintessential text cannot tap. Gravatt, a New York-based actress, Was a saving grace for director Kenneth Daugherty when the actress originally cast as Hecuba fell ill. Daugherty, who is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts in a one-year appointment as artistic director of the Troupe, knew Gravatt from days at Howard University where both studied. G ravatt, who was fam iliar with other black productions of the play, was eager to play the part and memorized the script before coming to Phoenix. “The wrong script, as it turned out,” continued page 15 Andromache [Deborah Walker] grieves as she holds her son Astyana [Anton Ragsdale] during a tragic moment in Euripides’ “Trojan Women.” The play Is performed by the Black Theatre Troupe and directed by Kenneth Daugherty.

But for 3,000 concert-goers last Thursday night at the Celebrity Theatre, America was nothing less than rich and harmonious. It was not expected. Last year in a less-than-sellout engagement at ASlTs Activity Center, the three-man folk-rock group bored 4,000 “fans” with a condensed rehash of their greatest hits (a.k.a greatest lullabies). The problem was obvious. Every one of their songs seemed to sound the same — short, mellow and drab. With the exodus of Dan Peek, who left last November to pursue a solo career, singer-songwriters Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley have rejuvenated their act for the current concert tour, “Sister Golden Hair." The last, complete with a piped-in opening overture, led to a standing ovation and ensuing encore of “A Horse With No L__I Name” — the group's initial million seller from 1971 — two now in its eighth week. years after the sons of American A five-man backup group — military personnel stationed in complete with synthesizers, England formed the band. brass arrangem ents and per­ Michael Murphey, whose cussion instrum ents of all surname was unfortunately shapes, sounds and sizes — misspelled on the cover of the America has broadened its scope Celebrity T heatre program, on the music horizon.

"This Highway,” “Hollywood” and thing isn't going to keep moving. M ore about Black Theater Troupe production continued from page 14 she said. “When rehearsals started on Monday I realized I had the wrong script. I had until Friday (opening night) to relearn the one the Troupe was using.” Gravatt, who recently finished filming a role in the new motion picture, ‘The Wiz,” is impressed with the caliber of the Troupe and is hoping to return. “Arizona is beautifiil. I’d like to come back and join the group permanently, perhaps become involved in different training workshops.” G ravatt’s wide-ranging ex­ perience in all kinds o| theater, including dance, was evidenced in a quite technically ac­ complished performance. At times it appeared too “technical” and she declaimed her lines rather too grandly. This is nearly excusable, however, as the pivotal role requires a forceful and insistent interpretation as one of the continuities of the play. In contrast, Deborah Walker (Andromache) gave a per­ formance more naturalistic. Furiously vulnerable, noble, full of hatred, and grief, there is nonetheless a death of will, a resignation in the character which the actress manages to express amazingly well, making for the most tragic interpretation of the evening. D irector Daugherty is featured in two roles. As Poseidon, he adds a wonderful, magical quality to the sea-god’s lines which open the play and sketch in the background . Unfortunately, his second role was the most infelicitous casting imaginable: the lyrical, mad, virgin daughter of Hecuba, Cassandra. Evidently he stepped in for the actress who dropped but, . . . well, the less said, the before opening. However regrettable this expedient, it does reflect the generally admirable resource­ fulness of the group, which must depend in part on grants from federal and local agencies. The theater, costumes, and stage all bear the earmarks of an artistic venture less than lavishly funded. But the actors exhibit a professionalism and dedication which create a valid in­ terpretation of this play. In his “director’s statement” included in the program, Daugherty mentions, semiapologetically, “the necessity of simplicity” in the set design. Surely nothing is more ap­ propriate in any production of Greek tragedy. “Trojan Women” will be performed today and Saturday at 1002 E. Moreland in Phoenix.

Linda Coats Athlete displays softball devotion By Karen Andrus Her tan, sun-weathered face is proof of the hours she has spent on a softball field. In fact, she has spent more than half of her 26 years playing the game. Her deep brown eyes still radiate a youthful sparkle as she talks about the game. The en­ thusiasm she has for the sport has not diminished since she was first asked to join a softball team at the age of 12. Senior Linda Coats is a former Amateur Softball Association All-America, was the second best hitter for the Sun Devils last year with a .327 average and led in stolen bases with four. She also has received ASA All State honors and has been a Cactus Regional All-Star. The outfielder from Roseburg, Ore. worked as a secretary for a wholesale company after she graduated from high school until she was 23. She said at the age of 23 she decided it was time for her to go to college, so she came to Arizona and enrolled in Central Arizona University, where she played softball for two years. Last year she joined the Sun Devils and was a part of a fourthplace effort by ASU in the College World Series. Coats played softball on an ASA team in Roseburg until she came to Arizona and traveled as far as Germany and Holland to play. “We were like goodwill am­ bassadors,” Coats said. She was invited to join the ASA team in Roseburg at age 12 and played with women six and seven years older than she. “I had to lie about my age for two years,” Coats said, “because you had to be at least 14 to play on the team.” Coach Mary Littlewood said Coats is a great hustler and is vocal in getting other members AloJig with the gold album, Longer Fusel' his incredible songt Sometimes When We Touch"has captured the hearts and imagi­ nation of listeners across North America. continued page 22 N AVY OFFICER.

Still in the throes of a four game losing skein, however. Dr. Brock and his prize pupils aren’t about to break into a chorus of “Is this the way to Amarillo" either. “Help” might be more appropriate. “We’re not in the best shape physically,” Brock said. “Jerry Vasquez (5-2, 5.80 ERA ) is out for the weekend with a sore arm. He had a cortisone shot just the other day and it’s still not feeling right yet.” Two other Sun Devils — freshman Mike McCain and junior Mike Anicich — were felled by injuries on ASU’s barnstorming swing through Japan, and will be out for indefinite periods. Anicich suffered a broken finger on his throwing hand as a result of his own temper tantrum. “I got pissed at myself after popping out one time in Tokyo, and slammed my hand into the bench,” he said. “One second and it's going to cost me four weeks.” McCain wasn’t as fortunate. A pitched ball struck the wiry out­ fielder from Edmonds, Wash., an inch below the right elbow, causing both bone chips and a stress fracture. The ailment wasn’t diagnosed until ASU arrived in California because of the acute lack of medical aid in Japan. “Mike went through surgery on Monday here and had the elbow wired,” Brock said. “We hope he’ll be able to play this summer, but we don’t know yet. Fall ball next August may be the first time he can play again. We’ll just have to wait and see.” One other ASU ailment isn’t helping Brock to sleep any easier these nights preceding the opening of his squad’s conference season —their last in the WAC. All-America infielder Bob Horner is “a 70-30 shot against” playing in the series or even making the trip at all. “Bobby’s got one of those nagging little things that no one can diagnose exactly,” said Dr. Brock. “He jammed his left shoulder diving for a ball on the astroturf in Japan. I asked him if it was alright and Bob said it was un­ comfortable, but he could keep on playing. “First time at-bat after the injury, he hit one out foul by six feet, then popped out. We got to SC and there was no pain at all. Saturday, he swung at a ball awkwardly with one hand and aggravated the shoulder a bit. We sat him out of Sunday’s game.” The remedy didn’t work wonders. “The pain’s back,” Brock said with remorse. “It seems Bobby must have rolled over on it in his sleep or something, because on Monday, the pain was considerably worse. Horner's status is very much in question.” So is the Sun Devil pitching staff. With the scratch of Vasquez from the starting rotation, sophomore Jeff Ahern (6-1, 3.51) will hurl the Friday night opener vs. UTEP, opposing the Miners' Wes Zotz (6-0,0.79). Saturday's 11 a.m. doubleheader will find junior Mitch Dean (2-1, 5.00) and senior Tom Van Der Meersche (4-0, 2.29) squaring off against either UTEP’s Jerry Walker (3-0, 1.40), Nick Fiorillo (3-3, 3.35) or Jim Sacco (2-2, 5.35). The Devils (28-6) and Miners (21-8) match up very evenly in of­ fensive statistics, with ASU boasting a .329 team batting average, 3.88 staff ERA and .959 team fielding percentage and UTEP showing a .335 team batting index, 3.04 team ERA and .954 fielding per­ centage. The major imbalance lies in the series history with ASU owning a whopping 52-5 edge. Last season, the Devils claimed six wins over the Miners by 15-0, 21-4 and 13-2 scores in Tempo, and 27-1, 5-2 and 17-1 margins in El Paso. But for the Miners, whose rallying cry was surely “Wait till. . .,” next year is here. And for ASU, the road goes on forever. . . Walter Berry The suitors of spring When it comes to college baseball, this city holds a season ticket in the complaint depart­ ment. Even if ASU finished the season with a 999-1 record, fans would find something to grouse about. "What the hell happened,” they’d scream. “Those bums never should have lost that one.” Nothing wrong with that. People care about baseball around these parts. They set high standards, expect a high degree of excellence and un­ derstand that second guessing comes with the territory. Everyone needs a little 20-20 hindsight in his life. So it shouldn't matter that the Sun Devils are presently tapping at the first-place window again. The growling is as loud as if they were burrowing their way toward th$ basement. Four-game losing streaks are certainly no cause for celebration. Right??? Who would have it any other way??? There are complaints about Jerry Vasquez' recent mound ineffectiveness, Larry Eiler’s hair, the lack of lefthanders, the shallowness of depth in the Sun Devil bullpen and the strange spelling of Tom Van Der Meersche's surname, of all things. You name it, there’s been a gripe filed. But of all the yelps, none have been more persistent (or more bizarre) than those about Jamie Allen, ‘The Yakima Flash." The criticism deals almost exclusively with the sophomore pitcher-infielder's weight, and if you’ll pardon the pun, the jokes are wearing a trifle thin. The current thought trend is that Allen hasn't played like the Allen everyone remembers last year as a freshman phenom simply because he is overweight. This refrain, like a top 40 record, has been chicken-drummed into one’s ears until it's become nauseating. The tenor of the wisecracks would indicate that Allen weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 910. Two-ten is more like it. which is perhaps more than he ought to be, but which is hardly obese on him. Still, without fail, every time I stand by the dugout or catch a comment by a fan flipping through an ASU baseball program, I hear the remark, “My God, isn't Jamie Allen fat!!! No wonder they call him Chunky!!!” I highly suspect that weight has anything to do with the way Allen is playing baseball these days. As of last look, he was ranked fifth in the team in hitting with a .348 average with 9 homers and 38 RBIs to his credit. Although limited to a mere four appearances and just 13 innings of mound duty, Allen still leads the Sun Devil staff in earned run average (1.38) and saves (2). So enough with the slings, arrows and barbs of outraged vegetarians. Whatever he tips the scales at, Allen has, in a manner of speaking, hit a ton.
