Mexico dangerous for tourists

By Mary Connell
The Mexican Federales searched
and interrogated Patty for three
days after they picked her up off
the Nogales street and arrested
her.
The Phoenix resident had been
shopping for the day in the small
Mexican border town when she
lost her friends, was struck by a
car and blacked out on the street.
“It was the most horrible
nightmare imaginable,“ said Patty
(not her real name) upon release.
“They thought I was strung out on
drugs. They gave me pelvic
(internal) exam s looking for
drugs.”
M altreatm ent of American
tou rists in Mexico is grossly
understated, according to a
Nogales federal undercover
narcotics agent, and a vacation or
shopping spree to Mexico can be
dangerous to your health.
“The American public is fed one
line,” he said.
“We see it on a different level.
We see drug trafficking murders
and all sorts of stuff going on
down there.
"A lm ost every day we hear
about some American going into a
bar for a cerveza (beer) and he
gets a “ mickey finn” (drug)
slipped into his drink,” he con­
tinued.
“The bartender calls the cops,
and the guy is thrown in a 10-foot
holding cell with a bunch of old
drunks until they can extort some
money from him. It happens all
along the border all the time.”
P ractices questionable to
Americans are a part of the
Mexican way of life, said Murrell
Smith, Mesa Chamber of Com­
merce manager.
“Very questionable practices
are inherently carried out by
Mexican officials,” Smith said.
“To them a bribe is not a bribe
as we see it. If you pay a border

official $5 you have the assurance
that your papers will be

it’s almost a gratuity.”

Americans leave behind their
constitutional rights when they
cross the border for a visit, the
undercover agent said.

U.S. border officials warn that shopping sprees to Mexican border towns
may be hazardous to your health. Practices considered questionable in the
states are part of everyday life in Nogales.

"T h e Mexicans can a rrest a
person and hold him for 72 hours
without filing any charges," he
said. “They can arrest you if they
don’t like your hair.
“Mexican law is based on the
Napoleonic system,” he added.
“That means you are guilty until
proven innocent.”
Americans historically have
been big-mouths, the agent said,
and this leads to troublesome
situations.
“We always want to stand up
for our rights when we should
shut up," he said. “But theirs is a
different system, and we have to
obey those rules. People get in
trouble because they should have
shut up.”
He added Americans in Mexican
prisons have to finance their stay
there.
"If a tourist in prison has a lot
of money he can live real well.
Otherwise he is just thrown in the
drunk tank.”
It is not a good idea for an
American to take a car south of
the border without purchasing
Mexican auto insurance, the agent
said.
“If you are involved in an ac­
cident, and you don’t have in­
surance, your auto automatically
becomes
Mexican
property
whether it was the other guy’s
fault or yours,” he said.
"Unless you can show you are
financially responsible for the
damage, they throw you in jail
until you can come up with
money. The insurance you buy
down th ere shows financial
responsibility--w hatever U .S.
insurance you have means
nothing.”
The Spanish-English language
barrier is another big problemcauser, Smith said.
“The average tourist knows
little or no Spanish,” he said.

Maintenance crew hires
female to mow lawns
By Mary Beth Von Driska
Linda Pearson, a 17-yearold incoming ASU fresh ­
man, ties up her waist
length blonde hair every
morning and joins the
physical facilities main­
tenance staff, mowing and
w atering
lawns
and
trimming hedges.
Pearson, the only female
member of the maintenance
staff, is spending her
summer working 40 hours a
week, earning $4.85 an
hour doing what is typically
classified as a “man’s” job.

reaction to her.
“I never g et bored,
because I’m always meeting
new people,” Pearson said.
" I t ’s really fun because
whenever I’m watering the
lawns, people go by and ask
me to squirt them.”
She said she also enjoys
doing a job men think she
can't handle.
“I really freaked my boss
out once when I picked up a
lawn mower,” Pearson said.
“We were in a hurry and he
was talking to someone, so
I picked up the mower and
put it in the trunk. He
couldn’t believe it.”

Pearson said she heard

friends because she is
exhausted at the end of a
day.
Pearson said although the
men try to treat her as an
equal, many tim es th eir
chauvinism comes out.
At the end of Ju n e ,
Pearson met with physical
facilities officials to review
her progress.
“It was really em ­
barrassing,” Pearson said.
“They asked me to name a
necessary safety precaution
when using a lawn mower. I
said to wear pants, and
they all started snickering
trying to cover up th eir
laughter."
John G otts, assistant
supervisor of grounds
maintenance, said Pearson
has livened up the main­
tenance staff.

Although Pearson said
she feels like “one of the
guys,” she said the men on
the maintenance staff were
astonished to see her at
first.
‘T he first two weeks I
was a little scared, because
everyone kept asking me if

Pearson said. “A lot of guys
harass me on campus, but
they’re getting used to me.”

'Liberated mothers' raise
happier, healthier kids
Good news for mothers: Self-neglect isn’t part
of the job description anymore.
Your happiness is important. Indulge a little.
You’ll be a better mother for it.
The fact is that mothers who are satisfied with
themselves, their marriages and their own life
situations have healthier, happier children. Or so
says Dr. Linda White.
White, who teaches Family Systems Theory in
the College of Nursing at ASU, has a special
interest in the characteristics that distinguish
strong family units from weak ones.
In a research study of 104 middle class
families. White determined that mothers who
were comfortable with themselves seemed to
transmit confidence, optimism and self respect to
their children.
On the other hand, mothers who neglected
themselves for the sake of their families did
everyone a disservice.
If you wish you could take up tennis, or get a
job, or go back to school, but think you can’t
because of the kids, (It’s a mother’s duty to
sacrifice, right?) think it over again, says White.
If, on the other hand, you know you are
happiest at home, but feel pressured to become
“liberated,” White points out that liberation can
be found at home, too.
“We live in a time that is producing a lot of self
questioning,” she said. “It’s as if we must give
people permission to m eet th eir own needs
without feeling guilty about it.”
According to White’s research, meeting your
own needs is as important as meeting the needs
of others, and no sack cloth or ashes required.
“You can’t really value anyone else until you
value yourself,” she said. “That’s especially true

of mothers. A mother’s ability to provide a
growth-promoting experience for her child is
intricately woven into her concept of herself.”
“Healthy families are perpetually changing,”
she said. “There is a precarious balance to be
maintained betw een togeth ern ess and in­
dividuality. T h ere are tim es when a family
member needs to lean upon the others, and there
are times when that same person needs to be left
alone to make independent decisions.”
In addition to the importance of a mother’s
feelings about herself, White identifies four
functions she says must be achieved through the
family if children are to develop into mature,
well-integrated, adaptable adults:
1. P aren ts must gradually diminish their
parenting, encouraging the children to progress
smoothly and confidently from dependent infancy
to independent adulthood.
2. Parents must form a firm alliance, main­
taining the boundaries between generations and
sticking to their respective male and female
roles.
“The child is influenced by the marital as well
as the parental relationship,” White adds. “In my
research, the children of mothers who said their
most im portant roles were as wives, had
healthier children than those who viewed
themselves first as mothers.”
3. The family must support basic social rules,
and mirror the values of the society the child
encounters outside his home.
4. The family must arm its children with
cultural skills th at enable them to function
outside the family as well as within it. Of these
skills, language, and its system of meaning and
logic appears of particular importance.

Americans lose constitutional

“He can’t express himself. This creates a
situation of no communication. The touring
American public emanates an attitude of the
ugly American.
“Their living conditions, mores, habits are
different from our country, and a lot of Mexicans
think we have no regard for them.”
Coupled with the slow-moving Mexican justice
system, the language barrier is much more than
an awkward hindrance. Smith said.
“The wheels of justice in Mexico turn more
slowly than they do here,” he said. ‘There is no
such thing as constitutional rights in another
country. Mention rights to a Mexican Federate,
and you’ll get laughed out of the courtroom.”

E xten siv e drug traffickin g problems put
Mexican police on alert to Americans they
consider suspicious, the undercover agent said.
“To them, a young adult in blue jeans and
sandals is a likely drug-purchaser,” he said.
The manager of the Chamber of Commerce of
Nogales, Arizona, said tou rist problems in
Mexico have been exaggerated.
“I don’t think it is any more dangerous in
Mexico than it is on this side,” Charles Fowler
said.
“Americans are arrested across the border
when they break the law.
“Laws there are much tougher, and penalties
are more severe, but if you behave yourself, you
won’t get into trouble,” Fowler added.

Careless driving
The stage is set for one last scene.
All your buddies have gotten together for a rip­
roaring Friday night bash. It’s been a long week,
working and getting school work done. You figure you
owe it to yourself to fly off the handle and get really
smashed. “One more for the road.”
You know you can do it because you’ve done it before,
many times. And anyway driving home is a real thrill
when you can get past the cop without him knowing
you’re drunk.
But he eventually catch es up to you because
something happens that you hadn’t counted on. The red
light that you missed or thought was green. Or the car
that all of a sudden appeared from nowhere. Or the
light pole which popped up out of the ground.
Drivers in the 15-to-24 age bracket were involved in
54.2 percent of all reported Arizona accidents in 1977
according to State Transportation Department officials.
And to make it worse, 26 percent of the state’s licehsed
drivers are in that age bracket.
Three hundred and nine persons from that age group
were killed in traffic accidents last year. More than
17,000, enough people to repopulate Nogales and Globe,
were injured.
That’s a lot of people ending up the same way that the
guy in the driver’s ed movies in high school ended up.
People always say, “Aw, it’ll never happen to me. I’m
a good driver. I watch out for the other guy.”
But it’s been proven. It can happen to you. Don’t just
watch out for the other guy, watch out for yourself.

Ghosts' chilly fingers touch many south
Hayden Road travelers who pass by Reed’s Auto
Wreckers at the Salt River.
Fractu red headlights peer out from the
smashed buDdog face of a burned-out semitruck.
The contorted front grill of a washed-out blue
Rambler twists up at one end in a gruesome grin
leering at passersby. The burned-out hull of a
vehicle smashed beyond recognition conjures up
grisly visions of its demise — a stormy dark
night, slippery road, headlights looming closer
and closer, ambulances, morgue cars.
Newspapers detail their occurrence every day.
Television newscasts paint vivid bloody pictures
of their deaths and destruction. And we see
them ourselves — glass-strewn streets, bodies
stretched on steaming concrete, tire skid marks,
vehicles crushed like accordians.
Car accidents surround us as part of everyday
life. Everybody has a friend who lost a limb in
one. Or lost a friend. No one has been sheltered
from descriptive details.
But does this affect us?
We drive right on by. Right on the tail of the
motorcycle ahead. Dodging in and out between
slow-moving vehicles. Impatient to make the

next green light. Stepping harder on the gas
pedal to zip through the intersection while the
light is turning red.
Recent investigations into Ford Motor Co.
revealed a lethal flaw in many car models
produced by that industry in the past thirteen
years. The location of the gas tank in these cars
— the Pinto, Mustang, Galaxy, Capri — is just
inches ahead of the rear wheel axle. In a
majority of accidents involving the car this axle
lunges ahead into the tank, rupturing it and
spewing gas. Sparks from the friction of metal
hitting metal almost inevitably spark the liquid
fuel into flames.
Widespread publicity about the Ford defect
has been proven to have reached most
Americans. But the slaughter goes on. And
every day you can see a massive diesel truck
tailgating a Pinto.
What will it take for the message to filter
through the complex channels of our minds? Do
we have to be involved in accidents ourselves
before we learn to drive with caution?
Or will we learn at all? Maybe the lesson will
come too late.

Everyone can rem em ber an
“oddball" classm ate from grade
school days who didn’t quite fit in
with other students.
He was the kid who wore out his
sneakers, along with the seat of his
pants, after repeated trips to the
principal’s office.
C larence and Florence Bedell
tuned in to th e problems of
troubled children a fte r they
adopted 10 foster kids at various
times during their marriage. The
coupled responded by turning their
5-acre Apache Junction homestead
into a residential school for
emotionally handicapped children in
1965.
Bedell School is largely statefunded, and licensed for 23
students, most of whom are wards
of the court and have no
established families. Most students
live from one to two years at the
school.

“A ll these kids h a v e b een
fa ilu re s no m a tter w h ere
th ey 'v e b e e n .”
“All these kids have been failures
no matter where they’ve been,”
said Dr. Paul Bedell, the school’s
psychological director and son of
the founders.
“They’ve always been the ones
th e parents couldn't stan d ,” he
said. “T hey’ve been abused,
beaten, or neglected. They come
here with th e feeling that
‘whatever I do, it’s going to be a
failure.’ ”
School officials emphasized that
most of th e students are not
m entally retarded or “developmentally impaired.”
“Most of the ones we have,
because of th eir emotional
problems, just are not functioning
up to th eir ca p a b ilities,” said
Clarence Bedell. “They just aren’t
able to get along in a public school
setting.”
“ We consider ourselves a
treatment center, rather than a
custodial unit,” said Dr. Bedell.
“They come here because we think
we can rehabilitate them. We work
on developing a sense of self-worth
and self-confidence. Ju st learning
to read can give them tremendous
self-esteem.”
The curriculum consists of basic
classroom activities, individualized
for each child’s capabilities. The
summer, program
is
more
recreatoin-oriented, including arts
and crafts activ ities, field trips
throughout the area, music and
sports.

“The kids are involved in bike

Howie, activities director for
Bedell.

“ T h e attitude is ‘im p ro v e

“The sports definitely have a
therapeutic effect on the kids,”
Howie said. “The attitude is ‘im­
prove yourself without doing any
damage to the other person.'
“It’s healthy competition; the
activities are very personalized,
and they’re mostly competing
against time, rather than against
each other.
“There’s nothing like trophies
and ribbons to raise a self-image,”
he added.
The bike races, sponsored by
Bedell in conjunction with th e
American Bicycle Association, are
held once a week in Chandler. The

Department has set aside a pool
hour every weekday morning
exclusively for Bedell swimmers.
“When we take the kids to these
activ ities, each technician is
responsible for only three or four of
them. It’s very individualized, so
the right attention is given at the
right time,” Howie said.
About 90 percent of the school’s
funding is state-supplied. The rest
is obtained through private con­
tributions.
D r. Bedell said money is a
constant source of worry.
“We don’t have all the resources
that we’d like,” said Dr. Bedell,
adding the school needs a speech
th erap ist, along with expanded
facilities.
Dr. Bedell criticized what he said
was recent pressure by state of­
ficials to place more of the students
in foster homes.

“A lot o f p eo p le say . . .

of thinking, every child deserves

Devils'stadium will seat 70,000
Construction workers are hurrying to finish the
expansion at Sun Devil Stadium in time for ASU’s
opener in the Pac-10.
The first phase of the $9.1 million project, handled
by Marian Construction Co., was completed last faD,
increasing the stadium’s capacity from just under
51,000 to 58,000.
Construction workers are completing the second
phase of the expansion this summer and {he capacity
of the stadium will increase to 70,000.
The expansion includes additions to the west and
the north sides of the stadium, closing up the hor­

seshoe. The press box will also be moved to the top of
the west bleachers.
The expansion is being funded by $6.5 million in
state approved revenue bonds (to be paid back by
tick et sales’ p ro fits), along with a $4.1 million
donation from the Sun Angel Foundation.
“We are being optimistic and expect the stadium to
be ready for the season opener against the University
of the Pacific on Sept. 9 ,” Paul Fiedler, physical
facilities architect and planner, said. “There will be a
few loose ends to tie up, but they shouldn’t interfere
with seating.”

Photos by M ary Connell

Fiedler said when the expansion is complete, the
job will be turned over to Kush to keep the ticket
sales high.
Ticket director Terry Wojtulewicz said ticket
prices will remain the same.
“Student seating will remain on the bottom half of
the east side," Wojtulewicz said. “But, the other
student section will be moved from the northeast
corner to the southeast corner."
Sun Devil Stadium opened in 1958 with a seating
capacity of only 30,000. Fiedler said they are making
tentative plans to eventually increase seating to
80,000.

800 ASU students get
college credit without
stepping on campus
There are more than 800 ASU students who never have campus
parking hassles, baby sitter problems or schedule conflicts they can
blame on their classes. Their educations don't interfere with their
jobs, their social lives or their vacation plans, and if they get the flu,
or an occasional attack of the lazys, no one at the university notices.
Those 800 plus stüdents are enrolled in correspondence courses,
an option that provides them with reading assignments, study
questions and activities to do in their own time and at their own
pace, as long as they complete them within one year.
A comprehensive examination is given at the end to test the
student's mastery of the material covered in the course.
There is a wide selection of correspondence courses available from
12 different departm ents at ASU. The departm ent of com­
munication, for example, offers three hours of credit for classes in
minority communication, nonverbal communication, intercultural
communication, communication in the elementary school, crisis
communication, urban communication, or women and com­
munication.
Other courses are available from the departments of business
administration, education, foreign languages, geography, history,
home econom ics, hum anities, m athem atics, political science,
psychology and sociology.
Correspondence study is $18 per credit hour at ASU.
Students already enrolled for more than six hours of credit need
permission from th eir deans to take correspondence studies
simultaneously. Others may enroll directly.
Further information is available from the ASU office of continuing
education, 6563.

Economic upswing
in first half o f '78

Arizona’s economy ended the first half of the year on an upward
beat that seems to be getting stronger.
Dr. Harold Fearon, professor of management at ASU, says the
year’s second half should see a continuation of solid growth although
the month-to-month rate advances may be somewhat lower.
“The high inflation rate is a major concern, and is a factor that
will limit the extent and duration of the current upswing,” he said.
“The year’s first half experienced uncomfortably high inflationary
pressure which will be harmful in the long run if left unchecked.
His monthly report to the Purchasing Management Association of
Arizona showed employment, new business and production in' dicators pacing the June advance.
“Employment rose for the third consecutive month and shows that
the economy is strong and reaching for new highs, Fearon said.
“Twenty-nine percent of the responding firms added personnel while
only 12 percent pared payrolls.”
June marked the sixth consecutive month of strong new order
performance as 41 percent of the firms reported booking new
business.
.
Production, which closely follows the new business indicator, also
made a good showing and is another example of the state s economic
health.
.
“Inventory levels have not increased in lme with production,
partly because of difficulty in obtaining needed materials from
vendors,” he said. “As firms attempt to increase inventory to
balance production, it should provide a further boost to economic
growth.”
.
.
i t
a
On the negative side, prices continued to rise sharply in June ana
if the trend continues it will eventually limit the extent and duration
of the current business upswing.
“There is no question that 1978 will enter the record books as a
banner year,” Fearon said. “However, uncontrolled inflation wdl
surely cause a business slowdown in 1979.

Tempe publisher dies,
University loses old friend
By Mary Gillespie
ASU lost an old friend Sunday.
Frank Connolly, editor and publisher of
the Tem pe Daily N ew s for more than 30
years, died at the age of 66 after a long
illness.
“He was ‘Mr. Tem pe’,” said Tom
McCrea, production manager, who has
been with the paper for 21 years. “He
knew everything that happened in this
town — never missed a shot.
“For a long time, he covered city hall
him self, and he never missed a city
council m eeting. He was ju s t always
around, and there was nothing he
wouldn’t do — he set ty p e, ran the
p resses, swept the floors,” McCrea
remembered.
Connolly was recommended for a post
on the Board of Regents by former Gov.
Raul Castro in 1976, but turned it down,
fearing “it might have been a conflict of
interest, what with the TDN doing a lot
of ASU’s printing and all — but mostly,
he didn’t want to give up journalism. He
was a journalist first,” McCrea said.
Rudy Campbell, Tempe businessman
and board member, was associated with
Connolly for 24 years in various civic
activities.
“When I went to the board, Frank
replaced me on the state highway com­
mission. We were also on the United
Bank board to g eth er, and we served

together on the Tempe City Council in the
50s.
“No one could have supported Tempe
more than Frank Connolly. He’d always
kid us if we thought about going to
another town to do some shopping — he’d
say, ‘Keep it in town.'
“He was a bit gruff on the outside, and
people were sometimes a little put off by
that, but he was a compassionate and
decent man underneath,” Campbell said.
Connolly, served as president of the
Arizona Newspapers Association in 1952,
served six years on th e Tempe City
Council, and in 1951 was honored as
Tempe’s first “Citizen of the Year” by the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
He held memberships in the Arizona
State University Foundation, and was one
of the founders of the Sun Angel Foun­
dation, as well as serving on various
Tempe boards and organizations.
McCrea said he thinks there is little
chance of the Tem pe D aily N ew s being
sold.
“I really can’t speculate on whether Bob
(Connolly’s son) will step up as publisher
or whether someone else will assume that
responsibility — but I do know the paper
will be kept in the family, at least for
now. We have the people here to keep it
going, and we will.”

BY ANY OTHER NAME
FT'S NOT THE SAME
When you purchase a fine jewelry
item, be sure you know what you are
buying. Terminology used in the jewel­
ry industry sometimes confuses the
consumer.
The term natural is applied to a
gemstone that was created by nature.
The only man-made modifications al­
lowed are cutting and polishing.
The term synthetic refers to a
man-made gemstone possessing es­
sentially the same chemical, optical
and physical properties as the natural
stone. This means that the stone must
be made from the same chemical
substance as the natural stone as well
as resemble and behave like it. Several
stones have been successfully synthe­
sized in the past century, the finest
examples of which are synthetic emer­
ald, ruby, sapphire and alexandrite.
Fine synthetics have gained great
respect in the industry.
A man-made stone that does not
have essentially the same chemical,
optical and physical properties as the
natural it resembles is called an
imitation. Most companies manufac­
turing such a product use the term
simulated. The stones are generally of
poor quality and lack the beauty and
value of the natural or synthetic stones.
One other item to be aware of is the
substitute. This is a natural stone that
is passed off as a more valuable gem.
For example, red zircon and spinel
sometimes resemble ruby and could be
passed off as such.
The integrity of your jeweler plays an
important role here. The consumer
must depend on the skill and know­
ledge of his jeweler to guarantee that
he is actually receiving what he’s
paying for. American Gem Society
jewelers are trained to correctly identify
gemstones. The AGS emblem in a fine
iewelry store assures you of getting
what you pay for.

Student roughs it in the mountains
As an out-of-state student from Chicago, I am
not exactly the “outdoorsy" type. For me
camping out means sleeping on the floor when
we have house guests. Roughing it is sharing a
bathroom with three girls in a dorm. And
scenery is the Chicago skyline at night.
But determined to experience the rustic desert
terrain, I willingly agreed to accompany some
friends who were going to spend a day in the sun
at Tonto Creek, near Pay son.
“It’s like a miniature Grand Canyon,” my
friend said. ‘There are these rocks you can jump
off into the water. You’ll have the best time.”
Thinking the rocks would be similar to the
diving board at my apartment complex, I was
eager to tackle nature. So, complete with ample
supplies — a case of beer — we set off for the
hills.
After I 1/* hours on the interstate, we suddenly
turned off onto a dirt path that winded jaggedly
through the mountains. As we swerved on this
roller coaster ride, I frantically closed my eyes
and wondered how my Pinto would make it up
the next hill.
As the car muttered its last breath, we finally
came to our destination. Euell Gibbons would
have been delighted if he had been with us.
Although I am slightly near-sighted, for the life
of me, I couldn’t see any water.
But my friends told me to relax because we
just had a short hike.
After 10 minutes of climbing a path, I began to
wonder if this was a bad joke. I had read the
book, “Alive,” where some people had been
stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash.
Although the idea of cannibalism repulsed me, I
was beginning to have second thoughts.
As I was about to attempt hitching a ride with
a camel, a dilapidated deserted farm appeared in
. the path before us. I was somewhat disap­
pointed, because I was beginning to empathize
with Columbus.
As sweat saturated my clothes and began to
form man-made puddles at my feet, we dodged
under a barbed-wire fence and I was told water
was nearby.

Photos by Mary Connell

Excitedly 1 gazed ahead, only to see miles and
miles of rocks. But not wanting to reveal my lack
of agility, I attempted to keep pace with my
peers as 1 jumped from boulder to boulder
juggling my half of the cooler.
Finally, a tiny brook which resembled a flood
in my basement appeared ahead. My baby pool
had been deeper. But my friends assured me this
was not the place. We just had to climb the hill
in front of us and we would be there.
"Hill?" I shouted, as I noticed the MountEverest-like land formation ahead.
While crossing the brook and simultaneously
attempting to down a six to overcome my fear of
heights, I discovered my Adidas did not have the
traction the salesman had guaranteed. As I lay
flat on my back, I contemplated how I would kill
them and get away with it.
As my friends rapidly scaled the mountain, I
inched my way carefully to the top. The closest I
had ever come to mountain climbing was riding

the tow rope up the bunny hill at a ski resort in
Wisconsin.
Six such “hills” later, they cheerfully shouted
we were th ere. Unless the brook had been
climbing with us, I failed to see where the water
was. My friends hadn’t even started drinking yet
and they were seeing mirages.
As I cautiously crawled over to the edge of the
rock formation we had settled on, a dizzy sen­
sation began creeping through my body.
“Oh my God," I thought. “These couldn’t be
the ‘rocks’ he meant we were supposed to jump
off of. He knows I’m scared of the top bleachers
at the football stadium.”
Fifty feet below, there they were, splashing in
the water. My roommate, who said she’d never
camped before and was scared of h eigh ts,
shouted for me to come down. I should have
known, the traitor. She is the same one who told
me she didn’t know how to cook and had whipped
up a gourmet meal the night before.
With sweat pouring down my face, I shouted
down that I wasn’t really hot yet and I’d jump
down later.
As I sat there temporarily relieved, but feeling
like some type of Hindu relating to nature, I
considered sending up an SOS. Instead I gulped
beers and hoped one of the vultures would swoop
down and carry me away.
Unfortunately, I have never been one to hold
my liquor and the inevitable happened. I decided
to go exploring to find an outhouse. But
naturally, this luxury did not exist.
However, I did find an out-of-the-way bush to
hide behind. At least I had one less problem to
worry about. Unfortunately, I had neglected to
notice the ant colony that had begun to make a
feast out of my legs. Jumping up quickly, I
darted out of there as fast as possible, but
tripped over a rusty beer can.
Picking myself up, I tried to remember which
path I had taken. As my legs began to itch from
the ants bites, I frantically searched for the lone
rock we had settled on.
Finally, I found it. And since the itching was
so bad, the only thing I could do to relieve it was
to jump in the water. It’s amazing how quickly
one can overcome his fears.
As I courageously hit the water, I noticed this
jaws-like creature coming towards me. Fish
happen to be another one of my well-developed
paranoias — I was even petrified of the dead
alewives on Lake Michigan.
My swim coach would have been so proud of
me. I have never done the 200 faster.
“Where have you been," my friends asked.
“We were beginning to think you were too
chicken to jump off the rock."
“Me?” I said. “You’ve got to be kidding, I was
just getting a tan.”
“Isn’t this fun?” they asked. “I wish we could
stay forever but it’s getting kind of late. It’s a
good thing we rested for a while, I’d hate to
make that hike otherwise.”
The rest of the journey back, I must have been
in a trance. I have never been happier to get into
my unairconditioned car. Never again, I vowed,
never again.

Audience welcomes
Springsteen's return
During a pause in “Growing Up,” Bruce Springsteen let his
Fender guitar hang at his side and standing under a blue spotlight
told the crowd at the Phoenix Coliseum that his father had wanted
hi m to be a lawyer.
“looking back on things,” he said with a chuckle, “it sure wouldn't
have hurt being a lawyer.”
After nearly three years of musical nonexistence because of
lawsuits between Springsteen and his former manager/producer
Mike Appel, the audience roared with appreciation of the quip.
Moreover the fans welcomed back the performer and the E Street
Band who gave a show with enough intensity and excellence to make
up for lost time.
Beneath the water-stained acoustic tile ceiling of the sprawling
Coliseum, Springsteen, wearing a black suit and white shirt,
strutted and jumped from the main stage to a pair of lower runs in
front, along with his super sax man, Clarence Clemons. Cameramen
scurried about the stage and shoved their way through the front
row crowds who stood screaming and clapping from the opening
number “Badlands” until the end of the third and final encore almost
t hree and a half hours later.
The show at the Coliseum Saturday was filmed and recorded for a
movie which strangely was not announced until the start of the
show. There were a few incidents during the first part of the concert
which seemed as if Springsteen and many of those in the front row
were hamming in front of the cameras, but once everyone got used
in the roving photographers, Springsteen and the crowd loosened up
and the fun really began.
\Ithough several new songs like “Badlands,” “Adam Raised a
Cain” and the title cut from “Darkness on the Edge of Town”
definitely drew enthusiastic response, the audience went wild for
the older stuff. Springsteen, unlike most musicians, had no qualms
,i innit venturing into the audience during “Spirits in the Night,”
much to his fans’ delight. “Thunder Road,” “Born to Run” and
’RosaMta" were delivered with twice the power, precision and
performance that could ever be captured on record.
Springsteen, who looked a bit like A1 Pacino without the beard
and moustache, commanded the stage while allotting generous and
well deserved solos to Clemons, who shared the stage on most of the
songs. Springsteen’s husky, driving voice pealed the ears of the
crowd along with his ripping guitar solos.
After two rousing encores with the house lights turned up,
everyone was quite surprised when the band returned to the stage
and Springsteen staggered back on for one last number "Hold Up
Your Hand."
Springsteen’s back, his passion and power restored and those who
saw him Saturday night got a whole lot more than their money’s
worth.
