tu e s d a y Vol. 63 N o.<# March 24, 1981 Arizona State University © Copyright, State Press, 1981 Instructors complain of department 'politics' Internal conflicts caused firing, lecturers say By Michael Cast The director of ASU’s creative writing program has been fired because of internal disputes in the English department, three creative writing instructors have said. Novelist Mark Harris, who was hired to head the program last fall, has been given a terminal contract that will end this semester because he wanted free rein to run the program, Joy Harjo, Pamela Stewart and James Cervantes said. Harris’ open contract was written to end in May because he was outspoken in support of his instructors in department controversies, the lecturers said. “Dr. (Marvin) Fisher (English department chairman) wanted to get Professor Harris to come to ASU and build a creative writing program because Harris had such outstanding credentials,” Harjo said. “But now Professor Harris is being terminated at the end of the semester because he kept sending letters complaining to the department. ’’ The instructors, all on a yearly-renewable lectureship, said Harris was fighting to keep them at ASU. Harris, author of “Bang the Drum Slowly,” has been ill at home for the past week and declined to comment. Fisher acknowledged that Harris will be leaving ASU but woulld not comment further “because it involves a personnel evaluation.” The three writing instructors, none of whom will be return­ ing to ASU next semester, said “politics” have been under­ mining the whole program. Harjo resigned March 16, claiming she was harassed by Fisher. A Native American, Harjo said she filed a complaint with the Affirmative Action Office at the beginning of the semester because she was not considered for a tenured poetry professorship. The English department’s personnel committee selected Rita Dove, a black poet studying in Germany on a Fulbright Scholarship, to fill the position. Harjo said she filed the complaint because it was obvious to her that Fisher planned to hire Dove before the selection committee had made its recommendations. “I don’t mean to downgrade Rita Dove,” Harjo said. "She’s a good poet and I’m sure she’s qualified for the job. But she’s not any more qualified than people right here on campus who were passed over.” Harjo said her complaint resulted in harassment from the department chairman. “I received a letter from Dr. Fisher reprimanding me for being absent without telling anyone," she said. “That was un­ true because I told Mark Harris where I was going and ar­ ranged to have my classes covered. ” Fisher said he reprimanded Harjo because she took two weeks off without informing anyone in the department. He added he did not hear of Harjo’s plans from Harris. “Harjo was absent — she did not take a leave of absence,” Fisher said. “I have no idea where Joy Harjo went because she never saw fit to tell anyone. ’’ Stewart, whose position is being terminated, also was one of the candidates interviewed for the poetry professorship. Stewart said she does not question whether Dove is qualified to teach poetry at ASU, but agreed that equally- qualified persons at ASU were overlooked. “Rita is no better a writer than anyone else who applied for the job from here,” she said. “Mark Harris thought that peo­ ple currently in the creative writing program should be kept on the staff, but there seems to have been a war between what the director wanted for his program and the needs of the department. ” Fisher said complaints about the selection of Rita Dove can be attributed to the disappointment of unsuccessful job seekers. “Rita Dove is one of the best qualified minority applicants in the country,” he said. “The publications she has had at her age (28) are superior and I think we have been extremely for­ tunate in securing her services.” Fisher said Harjo, Stewart and Cervantes were hired to fill temporary positions created when staff members on leave failed to return. They were aware their positions were tem­ porary, he added. “I think finding someone to fill a tenure-track rather than a temporary position is the only real commitment we can make to our creative writing program,” Fisher said. “You can’t build a program on part-time people. “They (creative writing lecturers) felt that appointment of anyone from outside would adversely affect the creative writing program and they wanted to restrict the search to the inside,” he added. Cervantes, whose lectureship at ASU also will end in May, joined Harjo in filing an affirmative action grievance. continued page 9 Miller says suspension OKinspite of verdict By Jeff Sellers Former ASU athletic director Fred Miller said Monday the court verdict clearing Frank Kush of an alleged punching incident does not prove wrong his 1979 suspension of Kush. Miller said the former football coach’s suspension was “justified in light of the eyewitnesses that came before me, and in light of the subsequent improprieties discovered in the football program.” Kush was suspended after former ASU punter Kevin Rutledge filed a $2.2 million lawsuit charging Kush with punching him in a 1978 football game. A jury decided 5-3 against Rutledge Friday. “My basis of action was for suspension subject to a hearing, which never got off the ground because of Kush’s action himself (announcing he had been fired) and the fact that the (ASU) president never acted,” Miller said. ASU President John Schwada failed to in­ itiate a hearing for Kush because of pressure from legislators and from state At­ torney General Bob Corbin, Miller said. Corbin said he did not pressure Schwada in the Kush matter and that Miller’s suspen­ sion of Kush was improper. “ I’m not saying political pressure wasn’t used (to forego a hearing for Kush), ” Corbin said. “But there was no pressure, not from me. Miller should have first given Kush a hearing and then, if warranted, suspended him, Corbin said. “If you’re suspended in the same position as Kush was,” Corbin said, “ and (superiors) give reasons for that suspension as Miller did, then you’re entitled to a hear­ ing (beforehand).' ’ Schwada could not be reached for com­ ment. Kush agreed to leave the University in January 1980 as part of a $200,000 settlement in his $40 million lawsuit against ASU. Kush charged he was improperly suspended. Schwada fired Miller Jan. 3, 1980 after what he called “a careful study of the future of the University’s athletic program.” Miller, who will testify in the second phase of the trial on charges that ASU ad­ ministrators failed to properly supervise Kush, said he had sufficient information to suspend Kush. “If you reflect back to a year and a half ago,” he said, “I had three individuals that indicated that they had seen a confrontation and three (1978 players) that had witnessed a blow.” Jurors in the Maricopa County Superior Court trial were to reach a verdict by a vote of at least 6-2 in the first phase of the trial. Attorneys for both parties agreed to accept a 5-3 decision Friday after jurors, without saying who they favored, reported they were deadlocked 5-3. Gordon Rutledge, the plaintiff’s father, said he had felt certain the 5-3 count would favor his son. “We’re disappointed in the verdict,” Rutledge said, “but to quote Yogi Berra, we don’t think the ball game is over until it’s over. The evidence that was not allowed in the first phase will be very helpful In the second phase.” Presiding Judge Thomas Kleinschmidt has ruled evidence of brutality by Kush can be used only in the second phase of the trial. Evidence in the first phase was restricted to that relating to the alleged punch. Rutledge said evidence in the second phase will include testimony from 15 to 20 past players who were punched or kicked and “left ASU’s football program because of it." Kush and former assistant football coach Bill Maskill are charged with harassing Rutledge off the team and forfeiting his scholarship, grounds for a breach of con­ tract charge against the Arizona Board of Regents. Schwada and George Hamm, vice presi­ dent of student affairs are the defendants in the negligence charge. M eet the pres photo by Bob Baamasdarfer ASU President-elect J. Russell Nelson braves the small talk at a reception held in his honor at the Adams Hotel in Phoenix. Nelson was the center of attention for roughly 75 peo­ ple who attended the Monday night affair, which was hosted by the ASU Chicano Staff and Faculty Association, Arizona Board of Regents member Tio Tachias, and Julietta Bencomo of the state Board of Education. Nelson will take over for retiring President John Schwada July 1. He declined to com­ ment on his upcoming job, adding he wants to remain “fully focused” on his current posi­ tion as chancellor at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The president-elect flew Into Phoenix Sunday. He is expected to take a walking tour of the Legislature and meet informal­ ly with the regents today, and return to Colorado Wednesday.

Officers Kenneth Johnson and Warren Cottrell testified in Pima County Superior Court in connection with a defense motion that an alleged confession by Mason not be admitted into evidence in his pending trial. Mason faces charges of conspiracy, filing false claims and theft. WASHINGTON — The United Mine Workers and the soft coal industry tentatively agreed Monday on a contract call­ ing for wage and benefit boosts of 36 percent over three years. The breakthrough likely was too late to avert an an­ ticipated strike Friday, but approval by the rank and file could keep the walkout to a few days. UMW President Sam Church declared “we’ve got a decent contract. . . I think our membership will accept it.” He said workers probably will be off the job for four or five days. Supreme Court says states can demand parental notice for teen-ager abortions West German minister to tell United States of intended cuts WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states can require, with some exceptions, the notification of parents when teen-age daughters seek abortions. In another case, the court ruled that statutory rape laws are valid even if they only punish males — not females — for having sex with a consenting minor. The two rulings, both involving teen-age sex, reflected deep disagreement among the nine justices. They upheld a Utah abortion-notification law by a 6 3 vote and upheld California's statutory rape law by a 5-4 count. BONN, West Germany — Defense Minister Hans Apel flew to Washington Monday for three days of talks with American officials who have expressed concern over West German defense spending cuts. West Germany, citing a lack of money, has announced a series of cutbacks and delays in military projects. Defense Ministry sources said Apel in­ tends to fully inform his American counterparts on why and how the cutbacks will be made. National union leaders ponder strike CHICAGO — Cabrini-Green residents, enthusiastic about Mayor Jane M. Byrne’s prospective move to their crimeridden housing project, said Monday they expected her to “put fear in the hearts” of the criminals. “What a lady. That's my mayor,” said resident Sadie Hall when she heard Mrs. Byrne was moving in. “I think the mayor is going to make a difference. A big difference.” Many of the project’s 15,000 residents said the mayor’s presence may help defuse gang warfare, shootings and terror at the 70-acre project. BYDGOSZCZ, Poland — Leaders of the independent union Solidarity held urgent talks here Monday to decide whether to strike over last week’s beating of three unionists at the city’s government building. Thousands of people milled about outside the railway workers’ club near the main train station and awaited word as the union chiefs discussed the worst police-union clash since Solidarity was formed last summer.

State Department officials would say only that no date was ever fixed for such a meeting. One, who asked not to be named, said insurgent forces were now “floating" stories about canceled meetings as a propaganda ploy. The opposition leaders, Fabio Castillo and Hector Oqueli, said the secret diplomatic effort collapsed Feb. 11, the same day the United States launched a media campaign charging Cuban and Soviet involvement in El Salvador’s civil war. SALT LAKE CITY — Rushing the bench and denouncing his judge and prosecutors, avowed racist Joseph Paul Franklin was sentenced Monday to the maximum penalty of two consecutive life terms for violating the civil rights of two black joggers by shooting them to death. About 10 marshals wrestled Franklin to the floor and handcuffed him after the outburst, which began with Frankling telling U.S. District Judge Bruce Jenkins, “This whole thing is a farce.” He also said Jenkins was “nothing but an agent of this communist government. ’’Jenkins denied a motion for a new trial. p r ic e s e v e ry d a y : i f y o u 'r e lo o k in g f o r q u ic k and e a sy o n e - s to p s h o p p in g , y o u 'r e lo o k in g f o r DESERT SOUNDS I Senate com m ittee passes House bill mandating prison terms for sexual assault ‘Morning’ expansion probably won’t tip balance NEW YORK — CBS, bidding for a bigger portion of the largely untapped early daytime TV audience, will expand its “Morning" news show this fall by 30 minutes. But industry sources say the move probably won’t immediately affect the competitive balance in the period. “Morning with Charles Kuralt” will maintain its hard-news character opposite “To­ day” on NBC and ABC’s “Good Morning America,” both of which mix entertainment and information. PHOENIX —The Senate Judiciary Committee Monday ap­ proved a House bill mandating prison sentences for sexual assault after deleting sections that would have done the same for incest. By an 8-1 vote, the bill went to the Senate floor after nearly two hours of testimony directed mainly against the mandatory sentence for incestuous relationships. Cur­ rent law provides a four-year sentence for incest, but witnesses testified that many of these sentences are waived to allow treatment of the offender and the family.

Susan, who requested her last name not be used, said, “Gretchen was not the type of person to roam around in a bathrobe.” She said White would not even wander out in a robe to pick up the paper or empty the garbage. Don Parks, Tempe Police community relations officer, said Monday there are no suspects and no new leads. An examination disclosed recent sexual activity prior to her death, but “there’s no way sexual assault can be deter­ mined,” Paries said. White’s body was discovered at about 6 a.m. Friday in the south parking lot of Corona del Sol High School. Her body had been run over repeatedly by a vehicle, ac­ cording to Parks. Maricopa County medical examiners said marks on her neck indicated possible strangulation. The Tempe Daily News reported police sources have said the murderer may have used White’s car. White’s neighbors at Windbell Apartments, 1330 W. Broad­ way Road, said her car was parked more than 100 yards from her regular space. They said she always used the space near the building. Sgt. Steve Graehling of the Criminal Investigation Bureau said the car has been impounded to check it for further clues. Susan, who first met White at Manzanita Hall in 1976, described her as a ‘‘funny, good kid” with lots of friends. White and a group of her friends liked to go out to the bars Residence Hall Students: Are you ready for the run? during their freshman year to have a good time and “look at the guys,” Susan said. She said White was “really pretty,” always wanted to get married and had told her she came to college to find a hus­ band. The two joked about White’s goals whenever they met. “Any luck yet?” Susan would ask. “No, but I’m trying,” Gretchen would answer. Susan said White had been dating the same man on and off for the past two or three years. An ASU graduate and friend of White’s, who asked not to be identified, said she was a very pretty woman but was kind of shy and kept mostly to herself. The friend said, “She never harmed or hurt anybody .” David McCray, manager of Cloth World at 1711E. Southern Ave., where she worked, said the fabric textiles major was an “outstanding worker” and had an outstanding personali­ ty“She got along extremely well with everyone,” McCray added. He said she had been a part-time employee at Cloth World since October and was friendly with all the other employees. McCray said he did not know of a reason anyone would want to kill her. “She was always smiling, a very happy individual and had everything going for her,” he said. McCray also said White was a “meticulous individual” and always parked her car in “basically the same area” when she came to work.

Bayly The ASU Financial Aids Office has over­ committed student grant and loan funds totaling $63,592 and has transferred money from other areas to reduce that over­ commitment, the ASU director of financial aids said Tuesday. Daniel Martinez said the continuing Stu­ dent Educational Opportunity Grant funds were over-committed last fall by $49,791, with other funds making up the remainder. Martinez said Financial Aids usually over-commits the money assuming all of the awards will not be accepted. But, last year because of a tighter economy and fewer available jobs more students accepted the aid, he said. “We have to take some risk to fully utilize all of the funds,” he said. “Every institution does it toa degree. It occurs everywhere.” Martinez said Financial Aids takes an educated guess based on the previous year’s economy to determine aid allottment. Robert Chamberlain, assistant to the vice president of student affairs, said to reduce the problem 47 students have been given unawarded Arizona Board of Regents academic scholarships instead of SEOGs. Chamberlain said each scholarship is worth $600, totaling $46,000. The recipients had to be full-time undergraduates and Arizona residents. The Financial Aids Office had only two alternatives, to call the students and ask for the money back, or try and find supplemen- T o help ease th e fin a n ­ cial bind, 47 stu d en ts w e re a w a rd ed sch olar­ sh ip s fr o m a n o th e r source. So fa r none o f th e stu d en ts receiving aid w e re denied th e ir m o n ey. tal funds, he said. ASU awards over $31 million each year in financial aid, Martinez said. He said similar circumstances have oc­ curred in the past and added Financial Aids “is in the black.” None of the ASU students receiving aid were denied their grants or loans, according to Martinez. In a March 12 memo from Chamberlain to Martinez, the use of scholarship funds is suggested as a possible substitute for future over-commitment problems. Chamberlain said this would require a policy change and scholarship donors would have to be consulted as well as the Financial Aids Advisory Committee. y OU ca Y OU C An N^ ^ LOSE 17 TO 25 POUNDS IN JUST 6 WEEKS!

The short-sightedness in the whole issue exhibited by most right-to-life activists only serves to support this claim. They appear only to see a small part of the total right-tolife issue. Instead of fighting for a child’s total right to life, from pre-birth on, it appears that these self-serving in­ dividuals are only concerned about one aspect of life. But the right to life goes so much further than simply birth. ABORTION CAN BE CLASSIFIED as one of the most emo­ tional issues facing the American people; but simply stop­ ping the abortions is not the answer. The issue is much broader, since life on the whole must be considered. Think for a moment about the abused child. It is very hard to condemn abortion (which is the avoidance of an unwanted birth) when we see the countless numbers of children who were the results of unwanted births and now are paying for it. A very large number of these lives are abused so terribly that they know nothing else than shame, suffering, hurt and an empty existance. When the picture is looked at from all angles we must wonder which is actually worse in the long run: not being born or being bom in a world where this abuse is commonplace. LAST YEAR THE NUMBER of child abuse related in­ juries and deaths far outnumbered the recorded clinical abortions in Arizona. And child abuse in itself is something that cannot be tabulated with any degree of accuracy, since most acts of abuse go unreported. What’s more, legal abor­ tions are clinically conducted in sterile, professionallycontrolled environments eliminating cruel and inhuman acts. Child abuse, on the other hand, is done secretly, mer­ cilessly and usually in the most cruel and inhuman manners imaginable. It is difficult to see how these individuals can supposedly promote life and not even take into account the possible results of their less thought-provoked and more emotionprovoked stance. If a child is born to a single parent or couple who didn’t want it, for untold reasons, chances are good that, Guest Editorial joel-Robin McDonald Joel-Robin McDonald is a journalism major. if the child is not placed for adoption, as many aren’t, it will suffer some sort of physical or psychological abuse. SOME CLAIM ADOPTION is an answer. But adoption clinics cannot possibly absorb the influx of unwanted babies resulting from an abortion ban without large government in­ volvement No matter what is done about the abortion issue, the child abuses continue in number and severity. Many accounts of children being kept in closets and rooms, isolated for weeks, months, even years, have been recorded This is a mild example in comparison to many abuses. Reports of parents doing horrid things to their children, some comparable to the reports from World War II Nazi concentration camps, are no exaggeration and are abundantly evident. ONE SUCH REPORT gives accounts of a father repeatedly sexually forcing himself on his eight-year-old daughter for several months. Another tells of a single mother allowing various men to have sex with her nine- and ten-year-old daughters in order to pay rent and living costs. There are reports of chilren being beaten into a state of un­ consciousness and even death. “Accidental amputations and unusual injuries are frequent. It is disgusting to witness the Right-to-Lifers parading in front of a health clinic that so much as gives abortion advice. Watching them walking in picket lines with their children, usually dressed in “Sunday bests,” is especially bothering because not only are they giving no factual information to back their cause, they are manipulating their offspring and making the issue more emotional than it already is. The children of the picketers are obviously well-fed, well-tended to and most importantly, loved. THE ENORMOUS AMOUNTS of money and volunteer time utilized by various right-to-life groups and the lobbying done in Congress to ban abortions is saddening when the good it could do for those young lives that were born and not wanted is considered. The rights of the unborn are being con­ tended but the rights of the children already born are all but overlooked. Portik . . sick portrayal . . Editor: On March 19, the State Press published a cartoon on page 4 deriding minority stu­ dent criticism of ASU’s affir­ mative action program. An editorial appeared that same day questioning such criticism. I do not dispute the right of the editorial staff to take positions, since that is the purpose of editorial opinion columns. But I strongly protest the racist nature of the Portik cartoon. In foolish p ic to ria l stereotypes the cartoonist has degraded MexicanAmerican students, faculty, administrators and citizens. There is no need to portray Mexican-Americans as foolish, fat or wearing som­ breros. It sickens me that the editorial staff would allow a clearly racist car­ toon to be published in sup­ port of an editorial. Hie burning of crosses, the pain­ ting of swastikas, and such derogatory portrayals of an ethnic group fall into the same category of racial stereotyping and hatred. As President of the Arizona Chapter of the Na­ tional Association of Social Workers and as a faculty member at Arizona State University, I must strongly condemn this sick portrayal of our Mexican-American students. Arizona has been ex­ periencing a revival of hate literature and activity directed against Arizona’s ethnic groups in recent years. I would urge the State Press to examine its own ethics and consider that such racial stereotyping is an­ tithetical to the high ideals of our University and our state. Richard G. DeGraw Assistant Professor Social Work . . stereotypical . . / Editor: I strongly protest the racist and stereotypical cartoon published in the March 19 issue of the State Press. The car­ toon only serves to agitate and strain the already poor relations between Chicanos and mainstream American society. Ms. Portik should know better, especially after the demonstration against Steve Benson’s racist cartoon on the Hanigan case, which appeared in The Arizona Republic. Also, in her editorial, Ms. Haggerty answers Chavez’ charge concerning poor minority enrollment at ASU, by quoting Dr. Hamm's stereotypical answer, that low minority recruitment is due to “the number of those (minorities) eligible for ASU.” We cannot and will not buy the age-old excuse that “there are not enough qualified minorities.” Administrators in charge of minority recruitment should quit blaming minorities for their own shoddy performance on the job. These types of generalizations just go to show the type of insensitivity that those in charge of recruitment procedures have. If they don’t even understand the people they are recruiting how can they say they are do­ ing an effective job? Ms. Haggerty also states that Student Af­ fairs has obtained $3 million for “ethnic minority programs; ” what good has that done for minorities? There has been no sizable increase in minority population at ASU for the last decade. However, Ms. Hag­ gerty seems content to know that the Hispanic population has doubled over the last ten years. We should have a couple of thousand Hispanic students attending ASU and not only a few hundred. A substantial in­ crease in minority enrollment will only hap­ pen when a decent recruitment/retention program is initiated at ASU. With the increase in racism throughout the country highlighted by KKK activities, increased police harassment of Chicanos, torture of undocumented workers, and racist comments by politicians, those in charge of opinion shaping should exercise more care and diligence in their criticism of the Chicano community. Francisco Gutierrez Law \ . . direct attacks . . / Editor: I am not speaking for any group but I am speaking for many people across cultures and races who feel as I do regarding the political car­ toon that appeared on March 19 about MECHA. The picture was a very poor act on the part of the State Press, who usually reports fairly accurate and representative news a r­ ticles. I feel that both the cartoon and article were direct attacks on an ASASU campus organization which I feel is unnecessary and does not aid to the future progress in solving problems which may exist. The picture by Portik represents the stereotyping and negative racial attitudes which causes much racial ing made up of many dif­ conflict in America. This is ferent cultures within each something that works group. As a minority student toward blocking open com­ leader, I would like to state m u n ic a tio n and that much of what MECHA understanding between does, I feel we do support, cultures and races in such as many of their America. I hope Portik is community-wide activities. more sensitive in the future. MECHA has brought food In the article, “Careless and clothing drives to people Mecha attacks are unfair,” who are in need.

It happens to everyone; if you don't believe me just ask Ray Meyer or Ralph Miller. It was quite disappointing to everyone. What really irks me is the coverage of the nationally-ranked Sun Devils in the NCAA tourney by the State Press. I thought they deserved some kinder words and maybe a little front page attention. Instead they received an article (I almost missed) on page 20. All year long we read complaints of the poor attendance at the games, but with coverage like this the reason becomes clear. Anyway, congratulations to the Devils for the great season they had, and I’m sure they will be back next year.

Fearing the loss of Arizona’s wide-open spaces, a coalition of nearly 40 Arizona con­ servation groups is circulating petitions at ASU and throughout the state calling for a referen­ dum to prevent the state from gaining control of federal land. The Arizona Legislature is seeking control of approximately 12.5 million acres of land in the western and southeastern parts of Arizona now controlled by the U.S. Bureau of Land Manage­ ment and the U.S. Forest Service. The Save Our Public Lands Committee, the coalition against the land transfer, fears once the state gains control of the federal land, it will turn it over to private interests, and the public will lose access to recreation areas. The committee’s referendum calls for the repeal of the “Sagebrush Rebellion” bill, which was passed last year in the Legislature. The bill authorizes the attorney general to file a suit with other Western states against the federal government for state control of public land. Sen. John C. Pritzlaff, R-Phoenix, said he sup­ ported the bill because it will enhance the state’s ability to control its own development, but he added he is concerned about the state’s financial ability and willingness to properly manage the land. He said the federal government now spends between $10 million and $15 million to manage Arizona land. The state will have to absorb that cost if it plans to responsibly manage the public land. According to Dr. Robert Ohmart, an ASU associate professor in zoology, the land transfer could prove disastrous. “If the public lands fall into the hands of private ownership, then the state of Arizona J --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- v, W e’re Not Blowing Anything UP!!

He said although some land will be sold, most ■t tile Preservedpublic Jeanne Wielgus, president of the ASU Wildlife Society, which is a member of SOPL, said the bill does not have popular support. tMe^s According to a survey made by the Phoenix ut he Behavioral Research Center, 65 percent of incial Arizona residents oppose the rebellion. ;e the Wielgus said the committee is confident it will acquire the necessary 54,000 signatures to get the . anti-sagebrush rebellion referendum on the anage ^ B ot for public vote. b that The “Sagebrush Rebellion” bill was vetoed by jublic Gov. Bruce Babbitt, but the Legislature overrode the veto. ASU According to Babbitt’s press secretary Jim insfer West, the governor vetoed the bill because he does not think the state is mature enough to fairds of ^ handle the land. izona He said Babbitt believes mismanagement will cause most of the land to end up in the hands of a few ranchers and private developers and the public will lose access to it. Scott Burge, a member of SOPL, said most state legislators regard the land dispute as a states’ rights issue. “The fact is that the land in Arizona has always been federally owned,” he said, gut Pritzlaff said 15 percent of Arizona is in private hands, which is not on an equal basis with mo6t Eastern states, where nearly 85 percent °* ^ knd is privately owned, gen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a proponent of the “Sagebrush Rebellion” legislation, said he will introduce a bill to the Senate which ultimately would give control of public lands to private citizens. Hatch added none of the lands already set aside for recreational and environmental purposes would be disturbed. But Ohmart said the special interest groups have no intention of keeping the lands open to the public. .*xhe special interest groups want the land en­ jy for money they can make off of it and the public is going to be the ultimate loser,” he said. g g WOMEN’S AFFAIRS BOARD PRESENTS Monday — March 30 Tuesday, March 31 NAME: "Woman Against Violence" NAME: "Prolife vs. Procholce” WHAT: WHERE: WHEN: All day Workshop East Cochise Room 212 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. WHAT: NAME: WHAT: WHERE: WHEN: “Adam's Rib" Film MUAB Theatre 7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. WHERE: WHEN: Debate with Doctor & Lawyer representing each viewpoint Arizona Room 207 7:30 p.m. -10:00 p.m. NAME: WHAT: WHERE: WHEN: “Not a Pretty Picture" Film Cochise Room 212 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 1 Thun. * Fit. - April 2 ft 3 NAME: Mia Albright; Carole Barrer, Sue Norton NAME: 'Women Working Past, Present & Future" WHAT: WHERE: WHEN: “A Touch ol Theatre" Poet.

Tuesday, March 24,1981 State Press Page 13 a d R |I Education 1 a 9 ■ I 1 I 1 1 a 8 8 8 8 1 8 I 1 OVER 25 WONDERFUL YEARS SERVING THE VALLEY Re-enrollment could be affected by extensive federal budget cuts (CPS) - With a straight shock of dirty blond hair and wirerimmed glasses, Eep. Tom Coleman, RMo., looks uncannily like a skinnier, slightly older clone of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director David Stockman. And Coleman, as ranking minority member of the* House Postsecondary Education Subcommittee, unhesitatingly mimics Stockman’s insistence that federal fund ng of student aid be cut. Consequently, he’s emerging as a central figure in the political battle now opening in Congress over ihe proposed cuts, which could amount to 19.; billion in 1982, according to some estimates. In ht irings opened last week, college lobbyists warned that the proposed cuts in student financial aid would prevent as many as 750,000 students from re-enrolling next school year. As many as 281 private schools could close as the result, said W. Richard Stephens, president of Greenville College in Illinois. But against Stephens and the scores of other witnesses forecasting gloom are the forces of budget cutting, as represented by Coleman. Coleman, says one lobbyist, “is the guy in the middle who’s supposed to carry the moderate Republicans and conservative Democrats (on the subcommittee for the Reagan plan). The election made people like Coleman more influential in Congress. ” The newly-influential Coleman countered lobbyists’ testimony by noting he was “per­ sonally very sympathetic to the financial aid problem. In fact, my (National Direct Student Loan) was the only way I got through school.” Coleman attended William Jewell College in Missouri. The Reagan budget proposes to phase out NDSLs over the next four years. Coleman now agrees with Reagan because the student loan budget is “completely out of control.” Opponents of the plan react to those ac­ cusations with bitterness even at this early stage of the battle. “I find it very ironic,” said Peter Peyser, D-New York, “that David Stockman (when he was a con­ gressman) voted for the Higher Education Reauthorization bill, and now he's cutting out the very things he voted for. ” The Higher Education Reauthorization Act, which enables Congress to fund college programs through 1985, mandated increases in most financial aid programs. Most of those testifying against the pro­ gram cuts dispensed with irony, and went straight to outrage. The cuts would be "a serious blow” that would eliminate "choice for prospective students,” drastically limit “research capacity, which is an irreplaceable national resource,” and “raise operating costs at a time when the financial conditions” of col­ leges are “particularly uncertain,” said E. K. Fretweli, who heads the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. Specifically, the administration wants to phase out NDSLs, and make significant changes in the Pell Grants program (which until recently were known as Basic Educa­ tional Opportunity Grants, or BEOGs). If Congress approves the plan. Pell Grants would be restricted to students from families earning less than $25,000, and re­ quire that students themselves contribute $750 a year toward their education. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated the new provisions would cut “ap­ proximately 100,000 students” from the pro­ gram, though OMB chief Stockman aimed for eliminating a total of 260,000. The CBO’s Alice Rivlin told the subcom­ mittee the average Pell Grant award would be reduced 17 percent, or nearly $200.

CUSTOm hi-fi DUCOUflT centén THE GRAND MARKETPIACE ^ MEMORIAL UNION Pag« 14 State Press Tuesday, March 24,1981 Quality computers become essential, task force reports (CPS) — The availability of high quality computers is becoming as important as strong libraries in American universities, a Stanford task force reports, and the day is not far off when a school will be judged by the “excellence of its computer facilities.” Indeed, the computer revolution is in full swing, and schools are hurrying to keep up with it. By 1978, col­ leges and universities had spent over $1 billion on com­ puting activities, says com­ puter science professor John Hamblen of the University of Missouri. Computers have been bought and installed at so rapid a pace since then that more recent reliable statistics don’t exist. But the nearly physical force of the campus rush to computers is creating new kinds of financial difficulties for many colleges and universities. Though some schools can tap special en­ dowments for buying com­ puters, others are raising the necessary money by going to an old source: students. For example, Cornell University, fearing a “retreat into the past,” may soon be increasing its com­ puter budget by $1.7 million, and getting the money for it by increasing each student's tuition by $100 (out of a total increase of $1000). University Provost Keith Kennedy wants $700,00 to buy 100 terminals and 25 microcomputers to patch on­ to the existing network now used by students and faculty, said Kenneth King, Ken­ nedy’s assistant provost. Another $700,000 will pay fo r im p ro v in g ad­ ministrative processes like registration and billing pro­ cedures, while $300,000 more will cover the cost of infla­ tion, King says. King adds the computer expenditures are the biggest single contributor to the pro­ jected $17 million increase in Cornell’s general purpose budget for 1981-82. r But King says the $100 per student isn't much com­ pared to the worth of a good knowledge of computers. “The value of a student’s degree if they get a good computer education is vastly more than that," King says. “Without computers, you’re getting a second class educa­ tion." King is far from alone in this opinion. He says there is a developing consensus across the country that “every student should know about computers” before graduating. “The computer has per­ vaded practically every discipline, in both in­ struction and research,” Hamblen told the New York Times. Dartmouth College President John Kemeny recommends that every col­ lege and university should make computer services as readily available to their students as “books on their library shelves.” King says computer knowlege is becoming in­ creasingly important in the business world, and notes that the use of “intelligent slaves” (computers) to in­ crease productivity in the industrial/commercial sec­ tor is “causing a revolu­ tion.” An economics degree, for example, is worth far more to a potential business employer if it includes com­ puter courses. A similar desire to “ride the micro-electronics revolu­ tion” has Stanford moving toward a “computer-linked environment” this year also, says Professor Edward Feigenbaum. Within three years, the school hopes to complete installation of an amitious, campus-wide com­ puter network connecting all departments on campus. Former provost William Miller, who headed the task force that designed the com­ puter proposal, says the rapid pace of computer and communication industries will accelerate in the 1980s. Public tuition soars in U.S., report says total student charges (including room and board) are up9.3 percent. Only 25 percent of the cam puses surveyed resisted raising charges this year. Forty-nine schools resisted raising charges the year before. (CPS) — Confirming what most students already know, a recent study has found that undergraduate tuition and fees at public col­ leges went up more than 4 percent since the 1979-80 academic year, and that PIZZA $ * 10 0 each ad. item $1.00 For details, write: HEADACHE CLINIC Ages 18 to 65 OPEN 9 am to 5 pm 941 -5353 STOCKMORE HOUSE.

Even though the ASU men’s gymnastics team managed only to show in the Pac-10 championships Fri­ day and Saturday at the Ac­ tivity Center, they have an excellent chance of making the NCAAs coming up in Lin­ coln, Neb., according to Coach Don Robinson. The Devils placed third in the PAC behind UCLA and Oregon, respectively and r an k seventh in the nation in the overall point averages, scoring at a 20B. 18clip. “If they (selection com­ mittee) happen to keep us out, it will make the greatest news story ever,” Robinson said. “If we don’t make it, I’ll set a bomb off in the of­ fice (of the committee).” During the weekend com­ petition, Robinson’s Devils were stressing the optional meet because that is the basis for making the na­ tionals. The teams are ranked on hOw well they competed over the year in the all the optional competi­ tions “Gymnastics has several growing pains which I think are ridiculous,” Robinson said. “In the Olympics they stress both the compulsories and the optionals, and we teach compulsories. But no one wants to watch a com­ pulsory meet. “Last year they used the compulsories to determine how to get there (nationals), but now you have to do good in the optionals because they don’t even look at the com­ pulsories. “It’s a shame,” Robinson added. “The PAC champion­ ships were insignificant compared to being picked to go to the nationals. Right now we’re polishing up on compulsories (scores), and our optionals are already there.” The NCAA championships1 will be held April 3-4 on the campus of No. 1 Nebraska, who average 278.74 per meet, and Robinson said the home court advantage may have an effect on the scor­ ing. “With a very noisy crowd, it may have an influence on the judges,” Robinson said. “Their (Nebraska’s) fans will be screaming even if someone falls on his behind. The judges may make mistakes because the crowd is interfering.” R o b in so n s a id he understands why the finals will be held in Lincoln, in­ stead of a neutral court. “Nebraska was the first school to make a great deal of money at gymnastics, so the NCAA probably said, 8*rv«d from 12-6 p.m. Offer good March 24 • 27, 19S1 $1.49 YOUR CHOICE: Turkey on a Bun . . . white turkey breast piled high, 2 strips of crisp bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato, served on a whole wheat bun . . .
