r a frid ay sta te Arizona State University p re ss Tuition hike bill killed in Arizona House, 31 -26 M arch 16, 1979 Voi. 61 Copyright, State Press, 1979 Bv Lori Grzesiek The Arizona House Thursday killed the proposed tuition hike for out-of-state students at the state's three universities by a 31-26 vote. The action came after an hour of debate on the House floor. The increase originally was set a t $650 but an amendment by Rep. Jim Cooper, R-Mesa, decreasing that amount by $100 was approved Thursday. How­ ever, Rep. Tony West, R-Phoenix, opposed the amendment to House Bill 2265 because taxpayers would only save $6 million rather than $9 million under the original increase. Cooper said that in the 1968-69 school year out-ofstate students had paid 93.4 percent of the cost of their education. But for four years the regents failed to increase tuition despite climbing costs and taxpayers ended up subsidizing too much of non-residents’ education. * N o. 91 Tem pe, Arizona was put forth last year. They didn’t have time to make another choice,” he said. “At this time, the message would have gone to the students early enough and many wouldn’t be coming back.” Rep. John Kroanko, D-Tucson, agreed. “This is a terrible bill. We would be putting an awful burden on the student,” he said. “This bill would back­ fire on us because the enrollment at the three universi­ ties would fall and the taxpayers would end up picking up a bigger tab.” But West said there would have been no decline in enrollment because students “cannot go anywhere else to get a better education at a cheaper price. “Last year we had heard the prophets of doom say the universities would fall and a black cloud of doom would hang over the students, but none of this hap­ pened,” he said. Rep. Sam McConnell, R-Williams* predicted that the tuition increase would have backfired on taxpayers. “Each out-of-state student brings about $5,000 to the economy of Arizona when they come to our univer­ sities," he said. “We would not only hurt th e students if we passed this bill but we would take steps th at are adverse to the economy of this state. It is not only .unfair, but it is false economy.” Rep. Marjory Ollson, D-San Manuel, said taxpayers would have benefited from a drop in enrollment. “If we lose 100 students at each university it wouldn’t hurt that much and we would cut down on the money spent for further construction,” she said. He also predicted a mass exodus of non-resident students if the bill had passed. “Students had already made their decision to come to Arizona universities when the $500 tuition increase He added that the money taxpayers would save by increasing tuition could be spent on building six or seven bridges rather than the four planned for flood control on the Salt River. Rep. P eter Kay, R-Phoenix, said out-of-state students should not be exempt from spiraling price increases that all taxpayers are suffering from. Some legislators blamed the bill s existence on the failure of the Arizona Board of Regents to perform its duty. Rep. Juanita Harelson, R-Tempe, whose district includes ASU, voted against the price hike. “The regents did not have enough time to put together their own package,” she said. She also said it would be unfair to the students because an incorrect price would be listed in the catalog. She said students would come here and find out they had to pay more. Harelson said attempts at a tuition hike are not over. “No biU is dead until the shop is closed,” she said. She said pro-tuition increase legislators could include a price hike as a rider to a Senate bill. Rep. Jim Skelly, R-Scottsdale, said the regents had abused their responsibility by not increasing tuition sooner. “They sit in their ivory towers and have absolutely no sympathy with the taxpayers of Arizona,” he said. Rep. Steve Vukcevich, D-Safford, said some state legislators have their priorities in the wrong place. “The tourism department is running like hell to get tourists into the state. But now we're trying to run the out-of-state students out of our universities,” he said. Carla Blackwell, executive director of the Arizona Students Association, said the bill might have passed if students hadn't organized to write letters and lobby their legislators. “It shows students can make an impact on the political process,” she said. M ouer office workers m ight be exposed to dangerous levels o f know n carcinogen By Jim Muhlstein Workers in the registration office at ASU’s Moeur Administration Building might be contacting dangerous levels of asbestos, a known cancer-causing substance. ASU Fire Marshal Sylvester Anderson said Thursday, as far as he knows, no testing was done to determine the exact level of con­ centration in the area where workers have been cleaning heavy dust from file cabinets since Tuesday. Newell Maughan, compliance officer for the state Occupational Safety and Health Division, said Thursday a pre-evaluation process is required before persons can be present in an area known to contain any amount of the carcinogenic asbestos fibers. “Any employer exposing employees to concentrations of any amount has to undergo a state-certified evaluation first,” Maughn said. He said the testing is done by taking a sample of the air in the suspected con­ taminated area for lab examination of the number and length of fibers in each cubic centimeter of air. The federal government determined three years ago asbestos is a cancer-causing agent and the greatest risk of contacting the brittle fibers is through inhalation. Measures were then established by the U.S. Division of Labor severely restricting the production and handling of materials con­ taining the fire-retardant mineral. According to Sec. 1910-1001 of the state occupational health standards, no one may be exposed to a concentration of more than two fibers greater than five micrometers in length. “There is a ceiling concentration of 10 fibers for each centimeter, provided adequate ventilation is present,” Maughan said. “But even then, the pre-evaluation must prove the added ventilation is sufficient.” William Haid, ASU associate registrar, said he was told by Anderson the particles were too well dispersed throughout the ground floor office-space for the concentration to be dangerous. Helen Clark, a worker in the Moeur Building, is one of a number of people who have been wearing masks while cleaning out file cabinets. The mask protects them from asbestos particles they suspect to be harmful to their health. [State Press staff photo by Tony Corso] ASU Safety Officer Dale Partridge, who directed the clean-up, was unavailable for comment Thursday. Workers in the registrar’s office were supplied with certified respirator masks, as required, before removing the dust with vacuums. However, other office workers not cleaning the files do not wear masks, despite their close proximity to the asbestos. The dust being collected is being disposed of in regular trash containers. Maughan said citations are given automatically for violations. Penalties for such citations include warnings that proper testing must be done before work may resume. “Fines could run upwards of $10,000 for willful, continued violations,” he said. Haid said the file cleaning should be finished sometime the first of next week.

But Arab furor and Palestinian protest escalated and the worst violence in almost a year rocked the West Bank of the Jordan River. Israeli troops fired into a rock-throwing crowd of Palestinian protesters in the West Bank, killing one young man and a 17-yearold schoolgirl, the Israeli military command reported. The separate Egyptian-lsraeli peace does not guarantee the independent state the Palestinians demand. EARTHQUAKES HIT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA JOSHUA TREE, Calif. — Five sizable earthquakes, ranging from 5.2 to 4 on the Richter scale, rumbled across a large area of Southern California Thursday, causing some damage but apparently no injuries, authori­ ties said. The temblors at 12:17 p.m., 1:07 p.m., 1:35 p.m., 3:08 p.m. and 3:15 p.m., followed by countless small aftershocks, all had the same epicenter — 13 miles northnorthwest of this desert town 130 miles east of Los Angeles, said seismologists at California Institute of Technology in Pasa­ dena. They called the phenomenon a “swarm of earthquakes.” PESTICIDE POTENTIAL HAZARD WASHINGTON — Toxaphene, one of the most widely used agricultural pesticides, causes liver cancer in mice and should be considered at least a potential hazard in humans, the National Cancer Institute said Thursday. The government is weighing the risks and benefits of the insecticide to see if it should be restricted after 30 years of use. The cancer findings are a major con­ sideration. Association, Inc. POPE DENOUNCES TECHNOLOGY VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II, in his first encyclic, said Thursday the arms race and uncontrolled technological advancement threaten mankind with the biggest “un­ imaginable self-destruction” in history. And the Polish-born pontiff, the first non-Italian pope in more than 400 years, assailed consumerism that threatens to make human beings “the slave of things." He also pledged to champion the rights of the hungry and the oppressed, and denounced "concen­ tration camps, violence, torture, terrorism, and discrimination.” ATTORNEYS CLAIM CONVICTION WRONG SAN FRANCISCO — Two men were wrongly convicted of conspiring to blow up a federal building in Phoenix in 1976 because the prosecution committed key errors during closing arguments, attorneys told the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Thursday. Neal T. Roberts, 47, a Phoenix attorney, and James A. Robison, 46, a Chandler plumber, were convicted May 24, 1978, of conspiracy to bomb a building occupied by the U.S. Indian Health Service. An employee spotted the 42-stick dynamite bomb a few hours before it was set to go off and police disarmed it. Oscar Lyon, assistant director of the Arizona Department of Transporta­ tion, said the bridge could be open in two years. “We’re going to push it just as hard as we can,” he said. The bridge over the 2,000-foot-wide river could be six lanes, depending on traffic demand, Lyon said. Severe floods wiped out the Country Club riverbed crossing three times in the past year, creating massive traffic jams as commuters sought alternate routes.

The U.S. Government will pay the entire cost of the bridge, which will be built to withstand 50-year floods such as the ones that have closed the crossing much of the past year, said Thomas Willett, adminis­ tra to r of the Arizona division of the Federal Highway Administration.

Lyon said the first step toward construction will be picking a bridge site, which may be downstream from the existing crossing. Public hearings will be held after a site is chosen and an e n v iro n m e n ta l im pact statement is filed. “It would be pretty optimistic to get it to con­ struction bids within a year,” he said.

The Delinquent Accounts Office on campus has begun to crack down on student defaulters and if Senate bill 1166 wins approval, a remedy will be provided to catch up with students who skip out of state. “Usually the defaulter is the student who leaves the state and is therefore out of the Universities’ reach so far as collection is concerned,” ASU comptroller Stephen Colby said. Colby explained if SB 1166 is ratified, the Arizona Attorney General will be “able to enter in a reciprocal arrangement with another state’s attorney general,” requesting the assistance to collect from a defaulter in that state. That state would then collect the money for ASU and follow the case through litigation if necessary. The bill is presently slated to be heard in the Rules committee of the Senate, and may possibly reach the floor by next week for final approval or rejection. Two national collection agencies are currently utilized within and outside of the state and are used primarily for “skip tracing, (trying to find the person)” Colby explained. He added this is the only “effective tool” for out-of-state collections at this time. Colby said he believes most students who default in paying back loans do so because “they incur other obligations when they leave school — like buying a car, it seems to be of less importance than and Hang a Banana! to repay these loans.” The National Direct and National Defense loans are 90 percent funded by federal and state governments and ASU is obligated to supply the remaining 10 percent, so any loss incurred by defaulters falls mostly upon the govern­ ment, Colby said. ‘There’s an intensity in collecting these loans that didn’t exist three years ago," Colby said. “We’re concentrating heavily on collecting current defaults more than on those loans that have been delinquent for years,” he said. There are now 44,000 past-due borrowers from ASU, amounting to almost $2.5 million, Delinquent Office Manager Danny Henderson said. But the University apparently is not worried about monetary losses. “We have not lost any money because of defaults,” Henderson said. “The number of collections has gone up because we are utilizing two collection agencies and full resources for collection,” he said. “The reins are getting tighter all the time.” Henderson said although students are allowed to defer payments of loans when due and have almost one year after graduating until the payments begin, many students are “reluctant to discuss their personal financial affairs” with the office and therefore make no arrangements for extention. Colby said a federal loan is a “large obligation” for a student just growing roots in society, and attributes a large portion of defaults to the low salaries of recent graduates.

Herb Bay’s having problems, even more than he might like to admit. As the director of ASU’s physical facilities depart­ ment, his primary responsibility is to keep the University’s facilities operating smoothly. That's a tall order, and it requires a well-trained staff, top-notch equipment and a little bit of good luck. But there’s another essential ingredient in the recipe: employee morale. And right now, that may be hanging precariously in the balance. Last week, members of his electrical shop filed a grievance protesting a policy Bay instituted recently requiring them to work periodic overtime shifts. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters and air con­ ditioning workers’ names are placed on a revolving weekend duty roster. On a rotating basis, every employee in those departments must remain on call for an entire weekend, from midnight Friday to 8 a.m. Monday. The number of employees in each department determines how often any given name will come up. Remember, this is in addition to the employee’s 40hour week. For weekend duty, the worker is guaranteed a minimum of eight hours pay, even if he isn’t called. But if he does have to come in, he gets paid Straiqht tim e up to eight hours, time and a half for anything more. Presently, the University has no official policy concerning overtime because the Arizona Board of Regents has not decided on the m atter. Until a few weeks ago, all overtime was on a voluntary basis, but Bay said Thursday something had to be done because the list of volunteers kept getting shorter, thus a few men ended up carrying the whole load week after week. As usual, there’s two sides to the issue. The disgruntled electrical shop employees have a legitimate c h e t b a r f ie ld gripe: no one should be forced to work more than 40 hours a week if they don't want to. But on the other hand, breakdowns and emergencies don’t punch a 9-to-5 time clock, and it’s necessary to have people on call who can handle them. More workers in the shops would ease the problem somewhat, but Bay said his budget already is strained and he couldn’t possibly get additional appropriations. Besides, Bay believes it would be a waste of tax dollars to hire full-time weekend workers who would sit around playing cards most of the time, waiting for an emergency. _ Indeed, there’s some merit to that reasoning. But why should ASU employees — who have better things to do on their days off — have to stay home waiting for a phone call that probably never will come? Bay and Bob Fails, director of management support services, claim dissention is limited to a small handful of agitators in the electrical shop. That’s hard to swallow. ,_ Even if only a few have the nerve to speak out, it’s hard to believe anyone is jumping for joy about having to fix a broken pipe or rewire a circuit at 3 a.m. Bay admits there are alternatives to mandatory overtime, but said that for now he's going to stick with his present policy. Most workers can live with it, he said, and some even like it. If not, too bad. But in fact, it’s Bay’s “like-it-or-lump-it” attitude that has infuriated the employees who filed the grievance last week. Although he claims he’s trying to be open-minded, Bay said Thursday that employees at any job have two choices: do what the boss tells them or quit. The question is, what can be done to meet the University’s needs without exploiting our workers who sweat day after day to keep this place in one piece? Why can’t some staff members work Wednesdaythrough-Sunday shifts? Even though the bulk of work around here is done during the week, those employees could spend their evening and weekend time on on non-emergency work. It seems there’s enough low priority building and repair jobs that need to be done at ASU to keep anyone from falling asleep on the slow shifts. Maybe Bay knows of reasons this approach wouldn't work. But if so, he needs to look for an equitable solution that will. If he needs weekend help, he shouldn’t shove added responsibilities down the throats of men who already put in a full week. And if he can’t afford to pay people time and a half or double time for all overtime work, he shouldn’t expect them to shrug their shoulders and accept it as part of the turf. And above all, as the man in charge of more than 400 employees. Bay has got to communicate better with his employees, and thus stay on top of morale problems before they grow to the point where workers feel filing a grievance is their only chance to get through to him. Letters to the Editor W here's my pack? Editor: In case you didn’t realize it, there are thieves out there. Thieves that will take just about anything. I think there are some people that would take your grandmother if you left her alone for awhile. I’m bitter because I had the misfortune to believe that it was safe to leave my backpack at the entrance of The Club while I was eating lunch. I felt sick when I left, and believe it or not, it wasn’t because of the food I ate. When I got back, my backpack was gone. At first I didn’t get too upset because I figured maybe someone picked up mine by mistake. I was told that it happens quite often and that my bag should show up in a day or two. I waited around until the cafeteria closed, and then started to worry when the bag didn’t show up. I had an Intermediate Accounting book and a QBA222 book in the bag. But more importantly (as if these two books weren’t enough), it contained notes for four classes m the bag. Incidentally, my name was on the notebooks and the textbooks. And for the kicker, the bag also contained a six-page paper I had written the night before. Just for the record, my calculator happened to be in there also. Maybe it was my fault for having all of these things in my backpack in the first place. I guess a full backpack might make a thief drool. Then again, maybe I’m wrong to be calling this person a thief. Maybe it was just a mistake and the bag will show up. I have to admit though, the chances are slim, since it has been a full week. All I can say is that whoever did take my backpack (intentionally or not) has caused me a lot of trouble. I not only have to spend $36 on two new books, but I also have to copy all the notes from the beginning of the semester. I’m still hoping that maybe my backpack will show up somewhere, somehow, sometime. (It would be nice if it were before the semester ended though — fussy aren’t I?) I wouldn’t ask any questions, I’d just be as happy as, well, perhaps as someone getting something like this off their conscience. Jim Zuba Junior Accounting .. •• That cartoon wasn't funny Editor: In regard to (Larry) Trepel’s (Thurs­ day) cartoon, “Mexico — Student Travel Guide,” we feel his attempt at humor was very sophomoric. Regardless if the intent was satirical, it undoubtedly indulges the bigoted and totally unjustified miscon­ ceptions which perpetuate racial division. At a time when Mexico is building its confidence as an economically in­ dependent country and Chicanos here are endeavoring to improve their social and economic status, remarks such as these are detriment in the face of progress. In the future, we expect Trepel to exercise prudence and sensitivity when expressing his opinion. We cannot tolerate remarks which demean the integrity of the Chicano. Carlos R.

[State Press staff photo] THE LAUREN KRISTEN QUARTET Funk - Jazz 9-12 Trespasser has tug-of-w ar w ith determ ined tow truck By Tricia Reeson An ASU student saved his car from a swinging hook Thursday morning when he told a tow truck operator, “if you want my car, you’ll have to take me with it.” Twenty-two year old Dave Fiddes said he was sitting in his car, which was illegally parked in Tower Center, when a tow truck from Sun Devil Towing latched on to his bumper and tried to haul him away. "I was in the car and I was ready to move it,” Fiddes said. “He (the tow truck driver) saw me there. He backed into me and tried to lift the car.” Fiddes, a senior in manufacture engineering, said he returned to his car five minutes after he left it because he saw the tow truck pulling into the parking lot. He got inside and waged a short tug-of-war with the tow truck, applying his brakes and turning the front wheels so the car could not be hauled away. “He was verbally abusive” Fiddes said. “He was saying the hell with you, I’m moving this car.” Fiddes eventually paid $25 to the tow truck driver, who identified himself as “Lance,” to have the car lowered back down. Lance said later the charge was justified because Fiddes was not in the car when he hooked it up.

A STATE PRESS reporter on the scene saw a small revolver lying on the seat of Lance’s tow truck. However, he subsequently put it away and later denied its existence. Tempe police were called to the scene by onlookers but said they did not interfere in the m atter because it was a civil dispute. The tow truck was summoned by David L. Richardson, whose office is in Tower Center. “I saw Fiddes park and walk out of sight to the east of campus,” Richardson said. “I called the tow truck because Fiddes was trespassing. He was a student and had no business in the building.” Richardson said students were parking in the lot so often that clients and customers often could not find a place to park. A spot check of the lot, which was completely full, showed that five students had illegally parked their cars there within a half-hour of the incident. - - - - -Legal - - - - Services - - - - - - - at- - a- -Reasonable - - - - - - - - - Fee --- — S 965-7572 John P.

Singing the anti-Equal Eights Amendment military march song, the national chairman of the "Stop ERA” movement is making plans for a victory celebration in the nation's capital next week. Phyllis Schlafly organized the ERA Follies, a party for opponents of the. amendment in Phoenix Thursday, to push her movement. She said they plan “a good ole tim e.” “We intend to celebrate the legal and moral defeat of the proposed amendment,” she said with a smile. The proposed amendment has been extended from the seven-year limit for ratification by the states to three more years (June 1982). Schlafly disputes the extension. She said 28 states ratified the ERA with the stipulation that the 28 states (3A of states) needed to ratify would do so before March 22,1979. “This is a true victory for American women. It has now been made clear that what I said about drafting women is true,” she said, in reference to U.S. Secretary of Defense Harold Brown’s statement that women be drafted for military service along with men if the amendment is approved. “These are the rights women’s liberation groups are fighting for. We (ERA opponents) are going to make sure women don’t get drafted into the military.” Proponents of the amendment will continue to spend tax dollars to push the ERA, Schlafly said. “They will continue to use taxpayers’ money and federal power to influence the states to ratify,” she said. “The C arter administration has appointed a new task force to force states to ratify.” “During the week Iran was collapsing, C arter was phoning North Carolina, begging them to ratify the amendment,” the Harvard graduate said. The mother of six said, "Competent women just do not need the ERA. Nothing good can come out of it and there are a lot of negative aspects.” n She added she opposes the federal government’s “order to hire women. Wording of the amendment is dangerous to American women, according to Schlafly, whose twice-weekly column is syndicated nationally by the Copley News Service. "The ERA requires every law to be sex-neutral. That forces women into a double burden,” the lawyer said. “When the men can give birth to half of the babies, th at’s when women should be forced to pay half of the expenses, Schlafly said. Drafting women is not the only danger behind the ERA, she said. Reduction of alimony payments and removing financial respon­ sibilities from men are other potential negative aspects of the amendment. “Women should be protected if they choose to be a mother and raise families instead of starting careers,” she said. “Family and children are the primary concern of most women, she said. “That is just a fact. I am not trying to force women to stay home and have babies.” 9 Pm iNSEMs S1W F p ip N y _____ ___ 7$W pM 16 I7 o F ^ N v lo M h N 6 /V# A N Y T H I N G FOR, A M O IS T POODLE P E M J h z .z J ohnhBEPcpPMflE DCfcMPP b E l P N ^ Q j Æ I ANATOMY OF A SLAP.

City Council w ants b e tte r fine collection By Lori Medigovich The Phoenix City Council is studying ways to collect overdue traffic fines by tying them to licensing procedures. Possible solutions being considered by the council include linking driver license and plate renewals each year to a clean ticket record, said councilman Howard Adams. “Another possibility would be to hire a private collection agency to go out and collect these fines,” he said. ‘Hut due to state laws, a certain procedure needs to be followed when the court goes out to collect fines.” “We’re reviewing the legality of this situation,” he added. Phoenix has more than 50,000 moving-violation tickets and at least 100,000 parking tickets that have not been paid. “This has resulted in a potential loss to the city of some $1.7 million,” said Michael H avem ann, executive ad­ ministrator of the city court. But actual losses suffered by the city might be quite a bit less, Havemann said. “We’ve lost about $120,000 in cases where persons have ac­ tually gone to court and. . .were found guilty, and then did not pay their fines,” he said. H avem ann said his $1.7 million estimate is based on the number of persons who have been fined for traffic misdemeanors but have not yet appeared in court. “You have to give a person his day in court, and until they go in to plead, it’s really hard ,to determine exactly how much the city is losing,” Havemann said. Many d riv ers who are delinquent in payment of traffic fines have moved and left no forwarding address or simply cannot be found and compound the problem, he said.

NEEDED IMMEDIATELY By Steve Allnatt Gidget is dead. But a first rate dramatic actress is born. In “Norma Rae,” Sally Field proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the flying nun has been grounded permanently. In a magnificently nuanced performance, Field plays a slutty and uneducated textile worker who becomes involved in an attempt to unionize the mill in a one in­ dustry Southern town. Though th e unionization attempt is handled authentically and with a great care for detail, Norma Rae’s personal story is »A N D OPENING ELEG AN T more important. The viewer is swept along by the politicking and grass roots organization of a union attem pt to consolidate mill workers. Director Martin Ritt leads up to the employee election with all the verve of a presidential campaign. But there is no suspense and the outcome anticlimatic. H ow ever, Norma R ae’s education and self realization, inspired by a New York labor organizer (played with brash charm by TV’s “Kaz” Ron Leibman), is a story of courage and m orality not easily forgotten. It is a beautiful piece of film making and screen ac­ ting. In the film’s early scenes, Norma Rae is an unwed mother of two who seems destined, as are her parents, to spend the rest of her life overworked and underpaid in the loud autocratic mill. There seems to be no opportunity to break the cycle. In the course of the story she becomes a woman of great courage who almost singlehandedly takes on the mill’s power structure. She loses her job, but has discovered com m itm ent and hum an potential. Filmed in Opelika, Ala., Ritt and company could not have found a more perfect setting. No studio construction crew could ev er provide th e e x tra dimension Opelika does. Ritt and director of photography John Alonzo make the most of it. There is not a false shot in the entire film. The script by Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank J r. is well tuned to the Southern dialect. These characters are earthy, proud and filled with good humor. Some of Leibman's dialogue is a bit arch, but he compensates with real con­ viction. Unionism and working class women have not been the most popular screen subjects, but Field, Ritt and company negate any neglect in the past with “Norma Rae.” C M W EV ZH - C E jU N G S I e Ne r g v - s a v / i n g C O N S T R U C T IO N / ANDWttAT A * TE/ASE.
