th u r s d a y I RÎ Î 1 Arizona State University p r e s s V ____________________ Horses may be so ld " October Tem pe, Arizona “ •' * y T ransfer threatens equestrian class By Mary Beth Von Driska More than 100 students in ASU’s equestrian classes may be knocked out of the saddle next sem ester because the courses are being transferred from the agriculture department to the recreation department. As a result, the horseback riding classes may have to be taught without horses, instructor Sue Cardell said Wednesday. “For the last couple years, the equestrian courses have been threatened because some members of the administration seem to think horse riding should be taught as a recreational class,” Cardell said. “Someone is trying to move the courses out of the agriculture department, but the P.E. department does not have adequate facilities for the classes.” The agriculture department now provides horses for the class. It feeds and boards them at the ASU farm at Price and Elliott Roads. Dr. Jim Odenkirk, director of the health, physical education and recreation department, said the equestrian classes will be listed under P.E. courses next semester, but he said his department did not solicit the transfer. “We didn’t make any political moves to obtain the classes,” Odenkirk said. “The change was m andated to us through the University.” Odenkirk said the P.E. department will have problems trying to find a stable and horses for the classes, and added he has heard r unors that the horses will be sold. Dr. Paige Muhollan, vice president of academic affairs, said the departm ental transfer would not change the nature of the classes for students. “We are changing the courses because it is not functional to keep them under the agriculture departm ent because they are recreational courses,” Muhollan said. “The classes originally were placed under agriculture by accident, but they are not related to that department.” Muhollan said the number of horses kept at the farm will be reduced because it is more efficient to contract horses from outside stables. He said agriculture courses are for research, not recreation. But Odenkirk said the P.E. department does not have the staff nor the finances available to run the classes as they are taught now, unless they can use the horses at the farm. Cardell said the Board of Regents attempted to eliminate the courses in January by requiring students to pay a $90 lab fee. “But we still have more than 100 students who are taking the course now,” she said. “Most of the students enrolled are seriously intending to work with horses as a career and aren’t in the class just for fun.” Cardell said the classes teach students anatomy and physiology and care of the horse, identification of different breeds, training skills, equipment care, horse selection, blacksmith work and veterinary procedures. m jst^ 8 ss3 * r * s Karen Pietsch, a junior elementary education major and teaching assistant for the beginning and intermediate equestrian classes, uses one of the many horses at the ASU farm to practice her riding and jumping stylo.

The routes were up for grabs on a first-come, first-served basis under a provision in the airline deregulation bill signed Tuesday by President Carter. The markets being sought are those not served now by any airline or those which airlines hold authority for but are not using. Most of the nation's major cities are involved. The jet-age version of a frontier land rush began last Thursday when a United official started the line outside the CAB to assure that carrier first choice once Carter signed the bill. That surprised the other carriers, but they quickly rushed representatives to the queue. Throughout the long vigil, stand-ins working in relays held the spots. There were college students, hired messengers and others who passed the time reading, talking, listening to the radio, watching portable television sets or curling up in sleeping bags or blankets. A bearded representative of one airline showed up Monday with a sleeping bag and a pistol. He didn’t brandish the gun or threaten anyone, but it made others in line nervous. At the request of police, the carrier found a replacement. newsbriefly In the from the Associated Press DOCTOR TO STUDY DENVER JOGGERS CARTER WINS UNEXPECTED SUPPORT FROM TEAMSTERS WASHINGTON — President Carter won unexpected, though conditional, support for his new anti-inflation program from the Teamsters union Wednesday while Republican critics were already predicting the program would fail.

Lisa Moore, assistant director of ASU’s Women’s Affairs Board, said the Board of Regents will meet Nov. 3 in the MU to decide whether ASU will be allowed a birth control clinic. She said it is the third such proposal in five years. The board has voted down previous clinic requests. Moore said she does not know how the regents will respond this time. “We’ve gotten some statements pro and con from them, but we’ll just have to wait and see,” she said. The proposed clinic, she said, would not only prescribe birth control methods, but also would be a female clinic staffed with a gynecologist. Benjamin Blair, adviser to the Board of R egents, said birth control-clinic proposals have been rejected in the past because of cost and because establishing such a clinic is not a university function. “They (board members) didn’t feel providing contraceptives solely to avoid pregnancy was a part of the educational system.” Benjamin said discussions in the past never centered on moral issues. Moore said a survey taken last year indicated ASU students favored a birth control clinic on campus. Lynch said Planned Parenthood is not as effective as it could be because of over­ crowding. She said the Tempe clinic at 83 E. Broadway is more crowded than the Phoenix office because it is smaller but handles the same number of patients. “There is about a three-week wait for an exam (in the Tempe clinic),” she said. She said the Planned Parenthood center in Tempe has had about 2,000 ASU patients this year, which is about 35 percent of the clinic’s total number of patients. Paul Steiner, Planned Parenthood education director, said the concept of universities offering contraceptives and gynecological care has become more widely accepted in the last 10 years. Student asks more plaintiffs to join Arcosanti class suit was liable. He was told to wait a few days. Rogers said he didn’t hear from the insurance company and called several lawyers Oct. 12, who said he had a good case. Since he did not have the money to pay an attorney, however, none would take the case on a contingency basis because they said it wasn’t worth it. One lawyer, whose name Rogers would not disclose, told him he would take the case if Rogers would get enough people involved to warrant a class action suit. The lawyer told him five or six people would be sufficient. Interested persons can contact Rogers at 247-5180. An ASU student, whose car was destroyed in the Arcosanti fire Oct. 7, is attem pting to file a class action suit against the festival’s insurance company. Gary Rogers, a senior in education, said he is looking for five or six more plaintiffs to start a suit with him against the W.W. Pilcher Insurance Co., 6150 N. 16th St., Phoenix. One other person already has joined Rogers. Rogers said he returned to Arcosanti On Oct. 9, when he was told all claims were being referred to the Phoenix in­ surance firm. A Pilcher Co. representative told Rogers the firm is not accepting any claims, because it did not know yet if it Racing park donates profit to Sun Angels Tonight’s profits from Phoenix Greyhound P ark, will be donated to the Funk-Sun Angel Endowment Fund, which finances more than 25 academic scholarships each year.

The drug, Vidarabine, was developed by Parke, Davis & Co. of D etroit, which plans to m arket it under the trade name ViraA. In studies sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, the drug slashed the death rate caused by Herpes encephalitis from 70 percent to 28 percent and substantially reduced the brain damage often suffered by survivors of the rare disease. In diseases caused by bacterial infections, doctors usually resort to penicillin and other antibiotics. In diseases caused by a virus, w hether it be the common cold, influenza, polio or other lifethreatening disorders such as H erpes encephalitis, science can treat only the symptoms while the Ulness runs its course and the body itself fights back. The developm ent of vaccines has made it possible to prevent many of the common viral diseases. Dr. Robert Buchanan of Parke, Davis, who gave the first dose of Vidarabine to a patient in 1971, said the newly-approved drug “is not a penicillin” because it won’t have such widespread applications against so many diseases. But he added that test results will GET READY! Operation ID is coming to ASU. Watch for details.

M0.63132 y --------------------------------------- -------------- --------- ----------------------- --- --------------------------------------------- Thursday, October 26,1978 State Press Page 13 Fiery Pinto crashes frequent statistics show DETROIT (AP) - Thirteen Ford Pintos — more than double what might be expected from the num ber of Pintos on the road — were involved in fiery, fatal rear-end crashes in 1976 and 1977, federal figures show. The figures are different than those Ford used to defend itself against charges about the Pinto and its gas tank near the rear bumper. The figures show more rear-end crashes with fires and deaths than the Ford figures would indicate. The new figures on such rearend crashes were compiled from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration computer files at the request of The Associated Press. They also show that two small cars with fuel tanks away from the re a r bumper, the Toyota Corolla and Volkswagen Rabbit, were not involved in a single such fatal crash over the two years. American Motors Corp.’s Gremlin had, like the Pinto, more rear-end, fire-accompanied fatal crashes than would be expected. But the low number of such accidents involving Gremlins — four — made the Gremlin results less conclusive. Drawn from police reports, the statistics show the number of cars in which one or more fatalities occurred when the vehicles were struck from behind and a fire occurred. They do not mean that the fires were serious, caused the deaths or stemmed from fuel tank leaks. However, the figures were described by a U niversity of Michigan authority as statistically significant and strong evidence that the con­ troversial Pinto is more susceptible to serious fuel-fed fires than other cars. Peter Cooley, author of a 1974 industry-sponsored study on the subject by the university’s Highway Safety Reserach Institute, said the new statistics also support the argument of many safety engineers that fuel tanks should go above or ahead of the rear axle. At the same time, the data and other studies support the auto industry’s contention that deaths caused by fuel-fed fires in auto crashes, while especially ugly and painful, are not frequent. Fires of some sort — most of them minor — occur in about 1 percent of motor vehicle ac­ cidents, the Michigan study estimated. NHTSA agrees with the Michigan finding that 450650 deaths a year are directly caused by fires in vehicle ac­ cidents, or 1 to 1.5 percent of the annual highway death toll. The NHTSA figures say 1,444 cars had fires of some sort in fatal crashes in 1976 and 1977. Of those, 265 cars had been struck in the rear, meaning a greater likelihood that the fire stemmed from a fuel tank leak. Fires in rear-enders are typically more serious than in other crashes. Severe frontal crashes, for instance, often result in minor fires under the hood that rarely cause deaths, Cooley says, but are still listed as fire-accompanied crashes. NHTSA acknowledges that its statistics are plagued by uneven police reporting of accidents. But the accuracy is “reasonable” and the statistics are sound for comparing one car with another, said Nancy Stubbs of NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis. Ford recalled about 1.5 million 1971-76 Pinto sedans in June after NHTSA crash tests showed the fuel System con­ sistently leaked large amounts of fuel when struck from behind at moderate speeds. NHTSA said the Pinto fuel tank's closeness to the rear bumper and the presence of four sharp bolts ju st ahead of it combined to make the tank especially puncture-prone when the car is hit from behind. Beginning with all 1977 model cars, improvements were made to meet new federal fuel-system safety requirements in rear-end collisions. The 1977, 1978 and 1979 Pintos are not under at­ tack. A year ago, in response to a magazine article. Ford cited NHTSA figures to show the car’s involvement in fiery fatal crashes was just what it should be for the number of Pintos-on the road. However, those figures were based on all fiery fatal collisions, not just rear-enders. The figures compiled by the AP show the Pinto's involvement jumps sharply when rear-end crash fatals are separated. In the typically more serious rear-enders, Pinto involvement was 13 cars, or 4.9 percent of the 265 cars involved in such fatalities — more than twice what the Pinto’s presence on the road would indicate.

Turkeys in great demand Prices increase for holiday birds By LOUISE COOK Associated Press Writer You’ll have to pay more for your Thanksgiving turkey this year, and you may have to hunt harder to find just the bird you want. Demand is up and so are prices. Retailers contacted in an Associated Press spot check generally said prices will average about 20 cents per pound more than in 1977. The Department of Agriculture says there was 12 percent less frozen turkey in cold-storage warehouses at the end of September than there was a year earlier. The official word from the USDA is that supplies for the holiday season, when up to 60 percent of all turkeys are sold, will be, “Less than adequate, not enough for normal needs.” Turkey farmers have been raising more birds than ever, but the increased production was not enough to keep up with the surge in demand that followed sharp rises in the price of red meat. “When red meats got high (in price), people turned to alternatives. They’re eating a lot more turkeys,” said a spokesman for Longmont Turkey Processors in Longmont, Colo. Leo Gulikers, m eat manager at Kimberlings, an Oklahoma City grocery chain, said he had ordered his turkeys early and had a sufficient supply, but he warned of higher prices. Gulikers said he has been paying just more than 70 cents a pound for turkey; the Thanksgiving retail price will be about six cents more per pound. Last year, Gulikers said, turkeys were selling at 48 to 63 cents a pound on sale. Tony Napodano of Pathmark, an East Coast super­ market chain, also said supplies would be sufficient, but prices would be higher. He said the chain had not set retail markups for the 1978 holidday season yet but added that the wholesale price is up 12 to 15 percent from last year. “Supplies will be there,” Napodano said. “It’s just a question of at what price.” A spokesman for th e Minnesota Turkey Growers Association, whose members raise about 24 million birds a year and lead the nation in production, said there would be no across-the-board shortages, but added that certain sizes — particularly the smaller ones — might be hard to find. “Demand is up considerably,” the spokeman said, noting that an increasing amount of turkey is being used for ham and sausage products. Turkey in Minnesota, the spokesman said, has been running about 78 cents a pound, compared to 60 cents a pound last year. d ^ ^ ^ F o ^ o m ^ e s id e n ts ^ \k U N JO N CUN?
