Student nabbed after stealing 'rhino boot' By Mary Gillespie A surprise package delivered to the State Press offices by a masked man Tuesday evening resulted in a chase and the man’s apprehension by University Police, Lt. Tom Godbehere said Wenesday. Charges are pending against ASU student Joseph Woodard, Godbehere said, who was released on his own recognizance after ad­ mitting to officers he had dumped a plasticwrapped package containing a “rhino boot” auto-disabling device into the State Press newsroom at about 5 p.m. The “rhino boot” is one of two such devices used by University Police to disable vehicles belonging to flagrant violators of the ASU parking code — those with 12 or more unpaid ( tickets, according to University Police Chief George Bays. Woodard, who bellowed an announcement to staff members and was wearing a tight-fitting black jumpsuit and a glittery cardboard mask, apparently had removed the device from his vehicle in tact w ithout even unlocking th e padlock. “The only thing I can figure is the thing (boot) wasn’t put on right,” Godbehere said. "Because when they’re locked on correctly, it’s impossible to get them off.” He added, “When they (officers) ran the guy down he told them where he’d put it, but I guess he didn’t say how he got it off in such good shape.” thursday Woodard had called a State Press reporter Tuesday afternoon prior to his office visit. “Have you reporters?” he asked, and added that if a reporter and photographer would be at the Cady Mall fountain at 8 p.m., they would see something “very interesting.” He would only say it had "something to do with parking tickets.” However, reporters who assembled at the fountain at the designated time waited in vain. Woodard apparently had been apprehended before he was able to meet with them. Godbehere said Woodard was scheduled to m eet w ith U niversity Police W ednesday concerning charges to be filed against him, but failed to appear by 4:30 p.m. > April 20, 1978 state press Tempe, Arizona Arizona State University ^ ________ Vol. 60 No. 107____________ j Moonies granted temporary permit for area selling By Melissa Coons The Unification Church was issued a temporary solitication permit this week and the city licensing administrator said Wednesday if the group can keep its national solicitation teams out of Tempe, the permit probably will be renewed. “There have been a lot of complaints in the past. They (Moonies) don’t seem to worry too much about coordinating their national and local people,” said John Holyoke. He said the most recent complaint against the church occurred Aprfl 10. “We got a complaint from a real estate office on South Rural (Road). A man was selling flowers there and told them he was from a C h ristian youth organization,” Holyoke said. He said employees began to question the solicitor and he told them he was from the Unification Church. Holyoke said he was contacted by the office and told them a solicitation permit for the church had not been issued at that time. Kerry Pobanz, the state director of the Unification Church, said the solicitor could not have been a member of the local church. “All our members live in Tempe and we were traveling around the state together when the incident occurred,” he said. Pobanz said the solicitor was probably either an impersonator or a member from one of the church’s national teams. “Because of improved communications with our regional fund-raising director, who is in charge of the national fund-raising teams, I don’t think any more incidents will occur,” he said. Holyoke said the restrictions of the permit require solicitors to wear identification badges, allows no more than three members to solicit at one time, and requires the church to give a financial accounting of funds.

But representatives of the MU said the forum should not have been scheduled because it is against MU policies. “We were going to have the forum in the Club. We contacted the food manager two days ago and he ok’d it. Today, (Tuesday) he (Larry S tah lb erg ) checked with T rudy Thom as, who coordinates MU activities and she said we couldn’t have it. I found out at 3 p.m. when I went in to set up,” McClellan said. Thomas said she received a call T uesday from Nile Gentry, of Saga Foods at about 2 p.m. “ He asked for a clarification of the policy for the food a re a s. He said there had been a request for a forum. I told him if there was a problem to have someone call me. I was in my office until 4 p.m .,’’ she said. Thomas said the policy of the MU is that forums not be held in dining areas. “Over the years, people who use the dining areas have asked us to keep them free. They go there to talk, not to be talked to or en­ tertained,” she said. G entry said S tah lb erg could not have approved the forum. “He approached me right after he was contacted (by McClellan). I told him to contact someone from the MU. He said yesterday he was having tro u b le con­ tacting someone so I called Trudy Thomas and she said it could not be approved,” he said. McClellan said he was not contacted Tuesday by House panel OKs tuition increase PHOENIX (AP) — The House Education Committee ap­ proved legislation Wednesday that would increase tuition fees at the three state universities by a third for resident students and 60 percent for out-of-state residents. The proposed higher tuition fees, added to a Senate bill which would authorize the State Board of Regents to hire outside attorneys, came in an amendment offered by Rep. Pat Wright, R-Glendale. Larry Woodall, executive co-ordinator for the Board of Regents, urged the committee to reject the Wright amendment. “I oppose it because this is a matter for which the regents have always had the responsibility,” said Woodall. “The board is now considering higher tuition and will hear a report on proposed increases at its May 5 meeting.” Under the bill, fees for resident students would rise from $450 to $650 annually at ASU and the University of Arizona. Tuition fees for resident students at N orthern Arizona University would go from $400 to $650. For out-of-state students, fees would increase from $1,640 to $2,600 at ASU and UA and from $1,400 to $2,600 at NAU. Wright said the higher tuition fees would reduce costs to Arizona taxpayers by $22 million. “This, of course, would still leave the student paying less than the actual cost of his education, but it would increase it substantially,” said Wright. According to her figures, the out-of-state student’s con­ tribution to the total cost would rise from 50 to 60 percent to a range from 80 to 95 percent. For resident students, it would increase from about 15 percent to 20 to 24 percent. Stahlberg. Stahlberg was out of town Wednesday and could not be reached for comment. McClellan said according to MU policy, conflicting a ctiv itie s cannot be scheduled. ‘T he only activity in there now is people eating,” he said. The forum was se t up outside the MU, but was canceled due to the lack of an audience as candidates stared at parked bicycles. McClellan said he had tried to schedule debates Tuesday in the Rendezvous Lounge of the MU and was turned down. “It was the same policy. Trudy said people in the lounge were there to relax. But that’s ridiculous when you think of the rock groups they schedule in there,” he said. Thomas said scheduling of the lounge is the respon­ sibility of th e MU e n ­ tertainm ent committee. “The committee voted it was not a proper place for forums. They said it was an entertainment lounge,” she said. Golden Temple Restaurant Gourmet Natural Foods 415 South Mill, Tempe 968-4258 Take a friend to lu nch !

This is not unique. The 10 percent turnout last year was thought to be fantastic. While some forget or don’t have time, most of the nonvoters just feel that it won’t make any difference. S tud en t government is useless — a joke. This feeling is widespread, and in many cases, w a rra n te d . E very y e ar, a university somewhere in the country will have student elections in which animals, clowns, comic strip characters or pseudo people are th e prim e candidates. Sometimes they win. A t ASU th is y e a r we had G reg Rasputin, a candidate who emerged from the pages of somebody’s history book. And the whole Artichoke movement, complete with its pink and white school colors, started as a joke on traditional student government, before it backfired and they got serious, as well as notorious. But the University of Texas decided to quit playing games and made quite a drastic decision last month by totally abolishing student government. About eight percent of the student body voted to g et rid of th e in stitu tio n opponents described as a ttra c tin g “low -caliber political hacks and resume peddlers.” Let's hope this doesn’t happen at ASU. While it sometimes appears that student government is powerless, useless and a general waste of time, progress has been made, though it’s been slow. Elect student re p re se n ta tiv e s th is sp rin g who can continue the process. The way to destroy student input is to turn it over to the animals and clowns. VOTE TODAY ASASU Elections: ______ It's up to you_____ ^ Letters to the editor Elections Editor: I was rather appalled at the Lance Boss edition of today's State Press. It is tru e that money can buy power as Lance Ross's campaign has obviously done, but I find it ironic that the State Press, a student publication — supposedly an objective and representative entity — comes out with a paper which is obviously in favor of Lance Ross. How obvious, you say? Two le tte rs to the editor and an editorial against Grant Goodman may not seem obvious.'but when you combine them with front­ page coverage for Lance and over two-hundred dollars worth of advertising in the paper, my point begins to gain weight. G rant Goodman is an ASU student who happens to be Greek. Lance Ross is a wealthy candidate who wishes to rub elbows with big shots. He has his strong points as well as Grant, but it is distressing to see an unfair election as a resu lt of financial power. State P ress coverage and muckraking politics. Sincerely, Joe Piper Editor: I confess I cannot suppress the urge any longer. With respect to th e en­ dorsem ent ad for an ASASU presidential candidate on page two of today's State Press which was signed by two former and the current ASASU president, the tru th was never clearer. However, I would like to make one slight change to the lead copy, thusly: “Both Grant Goodman and Lance Ross are the most qualified candidates to run for ASASU President in several years." I just never thought the three persons who signed the ad would ever humble themselves long enough to be that candid and forthright. Of course, it could be just a political ploy. Craig, Dave and Mark, if you mean it, I apologize for doubting your sincerity. And I should know, I worked for ASASU for nearly 14 years and saw and worked with ail kinds of candidates and officers — good and bad. Sincerely, Allan Frazier Assistant to the Dean of Students [Former ASASU Coordinator] ««•it»* Editor: It is extremely unfortunate the kind of influence and advantage
