By KATY McGREGOR Staff Writer Two Black Student Union members who allegedly used Associated Students of ASU facilities in violation of an election policy said Monday that they were never informed that ASASU materials were off-limits for campaigning. BSU President Victor Bryant said the ex­ ecutive committee statement prohibiting the use of ASASU offices for campaigning was never communicated to the BSU. The two BSU members were using the ASASU copier machine to duplicate copies listing candidates endorsed by the BSU, Bryant said. The policy prohibits the “ use of Associated Students capital, equipment, facilities, or office supplies” for election purposes. Nancy Parks, campus affairs vice presi­ dent, said the policy has been made public at several ASASU Senate meetings and has been practiced for several years. “The ASASU complex has always been off-limits to campaigns,” Parks said. According to ASASU President Ray Burnell, the two BSU members were asked by the ASASU staff to stop printing the material, but refused. “The staff was in full authority,” Burnell said. But Bryant said they did not stop because “the staff was not sure of the rules themselves.” The two BSU officers stopped when Gary Kleemann, ASASU coodinator, explained the policy violation, Bryant said. Parks said Bryant and BSU Vice Presi­ dent Carlos Thomas were acting as in­ dividuals and that charges would not be pressed against the BSU because the entire group did not deserve to be penalized. “It is not mandatory that (ASASU) take action,” Parks said, adding that any ASU student is eligible to file a complaint. Eva Bowen, a BSU member, said Bryant and Thomas were the only officers involved in the endorsing of candidates. “I felt they should have had a group con­ sensus,” she said. Bowen said they only endorsed the can­ didates who came to speak to BSU members. Bryant said his election committee was composed of Thomas and himself. “The members trust our opinion because we have more involvement with the student government,” Bryant said. Bryant decribed the BSU as a “socio­ political group,” and said the campus organization has an account on the copier machine. The BSU endorsed Chris Cummiskey for executive vice president, Amy Young for campus affairs vice president, and Darren Chuckry for activities vice president. No candidate for ASASU president was endorsed. Bowen, the current Miss Black ASU, said she had been approached by five ASASU candidates who were concerned because the BSU had endorsed others before allowing them to speak to the group. Executive VP candidates differ on club funding By KATY McGREGOR Staff Writer The two candidates vying for Associated Students of ASU executive vice president disagreed Monday on what guidelines should be used when funding campus clubs and organizations through the senate. Ben Hoglund, a junior majoring in finance, said he sup­ ports the current funding guidelines set up by the senate that avoid funding organizations tied to the ASU administration, groups that deal with sexual preference and religious organizations. Cummiskey, a sophomore in the college of public pro­ grams, said he supports a funding program which is “fair and consistent. “When an organization is denied funding because of what it stands for, that’s wrong,” Cummiskey said. The executive vice president also serves as president of the ASASU Senate. Hoglund said he would support guidelines that give priority to programs that supplement classroom studies, minority af­ fairs, and skill developments. In another forum held Sunday at the All Saints’ Catholic Newman Center, candidate for campus affairs vice president Amy Young said that students working as directors in the campus affairs departments need a strong understanding of the University and ASASU programs that have worked in the past. Some offices included under campus affairs are the Safety Escort Service, Minority Affairs board and Women’s Ser­ vices. Linda St Angelo, also a candidate for campus affairs vice president, is advocating a calendar of ASASU services be placed in the MU. In the race for ASASU president, Dave Varnell told the forum audience Sunday that he would work toward making tuition rates more predictable so students could plan ahead. Paul Barker, also a candidate for president, said the tuition increase proposed by the current ASASU administration was similiar to a “catch-22.” Varnell said “realistically tuition should go up” with infla­ tion, or some programs will have to be cut. Activities vice presidential candidate James Emmelkamp is advocating the diversification of the lecture series so that it includes more programs directed at minorities and com­ muter students. Darren Chuckry, also an activities vice presidential can­ didate, said if elected he would place more emphasis on ASU’s intramurals program. John Anton, a junior majoring in finance and economics, said his main area of concentration, if elected, would center on promoting spirit among ASU students. Also vying for the office of activities vice president is Mark Isenberg, a junior majoring in political science and geography. If elected, Isenberg said he would concentrate on the areas already under activities before starting new pro­ jects. ASU business dean under consideration as FDIC chairman By DOUG NEWMAN Staff Writer Sources say the Reagan Administration is considering L. William Seidman, dean of the ASU College of Business Administration, for a top post in Washington, D.C. According to business college sources, Seidman is under consideration for Chair­ man of the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor­ poration. “ He has talked to people in Washington, and at this point it has gone no further,” said Marilyn Seymann, director of external af­ fairs for the business college. “We have had no information since the newspaper articles (in the Tempe Daily News, the New York Times, and the Wall street Journal) regarding the subject,” she said. “ It’s gone further in the papers than it has in the process,” she said. A spokeswoman in Washington said the FDIC, which insures deposits in banks and savings-and-loans up to $100,000, currently needs a new chairman and new director. FDIC Chairman William Isaac, whose term expired last year, will remain at the job until a replacement is selected, the spokeswoman said. “We’re sitting on the edge of our seats waiting to find out who it will be," she said. “We’ve heard Mr. Seidman’s name men­ tioned,” Seymann said. A spokesman for White House Media Relations said, “We don’t make any com­ ments before the facts on personnel.” Seymann said Seidman has not actually been offered the FDIC job, and would not comment on whether he would accept the job if offered. “That comment is for the dean," she said. Seidman, in New York for a board meeting of the Phelps Dodge Corporation, could not be reached for comment. Seidman, 64, has held several positions in business and government during his career. William Seidman He was an assistant for economic affairs during 1974-76 to then-President Gerald Ford. After that, he was vice-chairman of Phelp6 Dodge Corporation from 1976-82, where he still serves as a company director. Seidman was a co-chairman of the White House Conference on Productivity from 1983-84. He was appointed Dean of the Business College at the University in June 1982. Locally, Seidman is known for organizing the Dean's Council of 100, a group of businessmen who advise the business col­ lege and have agreed to donate $2,500 a year for the next three years. “Devoting full-time attention to moving the business school ahead as a leadership in­ stitution” has taken much of Seidman’s time, Seymann said. “We have not paused long enough to con­ sider this possibility (of appointment to the FDIC position),” she said. P a ^ e 2 ^ ■— —— natio nX world S e n a te p a n e l in v e s tig a tio n reve als v io le n c e a t s ta te m e n ta l in s titu tio n s WASHINGTON (AP) — Parents of patients at institutions for the mentally disabled described beatings and filthy sur­ roundings Monday as a Senate panel reported fear, intimida­ tion, violence and secrecy at many such facilities. . . The self-serving actions of many states and full retreat of the federal agencies has stifled the screams and abandoned the ill," said Sen. Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., chair­ man of the Senate Labor and Human Resources subcommit­ tee on the handicapped. The panel released a report on a six-month investigation in­ to the treatment of patients at state mental institutions. The report cited cases of kicking or striking of patients, sexual advances and rape, verbal threats of injury and other forms of intimidation. The report said in addition to providing little treatment other than prescribed medication, “many facilities visited by Senate staff fail to maintain decent living conditions." It criticized the Justice Department for failure to take pro­ mpt action against unfit facilities under the Civil Rights of In­ stitutionalized Persons Act.

The figures were released Monday in connection with a report showing that cigarette smuggling has declined since Congress made it a federal crime in 1978. The study also said that in light of such findings, increases in cigarette taxes could lead to a resurgence of smuggling. D u a rte c la im s la n d s lid e e le c tio n v ic to ry , g iv in g m o d e ra te s m a jo rity SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — President Jose Napoleon Duarte on Monday claimed a landslide election vic­ tory that would give his moderate party control of the government for the first time since he took office. The results of Sunday’s legislative elections were a severe blow to the rightists, who controlled the old National Assembly and had hamstrung Duarte’s policies. They had expected to keep or increase the majority they had held in the assembly for the first three years of its existence. Duarte told journalists Monday the apparent win by his Christian Democrats represented “a stance of the people against the far left and the right.” He said he would continue seeking peace in the 5'i-year-old war with leftist guerrillas through dialogues with the political right and left and with the business community. In Washington, State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb said the United States was “very pleased with the preliminary report of what seems to be heavy voter turnout in the face of guerrilla harassment and obstruction. For the fourth time in three years, the Salvadoran people have demonstrated at the polls their determination to pursue a democratic solution to their nation’s problems and their re­ jection of guerrillas." J u s tic e D e p a r tm e n t m o v e s fo rw a rd in c ra c k d o w n on n a rc o tic s rings WASHINGTON (AP) —The Justice Department said Mon­ day it is making headway in busting narcotics rings, but a high-ranking official said authorities are weighing a tougher stance toward individual drug users. Deputy Associate Attorney General Charles W. Blau said despite cooperative law enforcement efforts which have pro­ duced some 1,150 indictments since mid-1983, “people out there are using drugs, and we have not broken that curve." Blau, who oversees the Organized Crime Drug Enforce­ ment Task Force Program said authorities have zeroed in on a supply-side enforcement strategy, going after importers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers. “ . . . Maybe we ought to bring in selectively some of the users into the low end of the prosecutions of these types of cases, to show how the whole picture puts together,” Blau told reporters. Blau’s suggestion mirrored statements Attorney General Edwin Meese III made March 20 to the Washington Press Club. The task force program, a cooperative drug enforcement effort launched by President Reagan in the summer of 1983, netted 953 indictments through Dec. 31. Meese said in a separate statement that there have been nearly 200 additional indictments of trafficking figures through March 18, with a 90 percent conviction rate.

Page 3 Tuesday, April 2 ,1 9 8 5 State Press Legislature stalls bonding authority appeal By VICKIE CHACHERE Staff Writer A decision on a $125 million bonding authority request sub­ mitted to the state Legislature by the Arizona Board of Regents will be delayed until later this week, a legislative aide said Monday. The bill has been placed on Friday’s agenda in the Senate Appropriations Committee. Sharon Lewis, assistant director of personnel and govern­ ment relations for the board, said questions concerning a list of proposed capital improvement projects resulted in the delay. She said Sen. Hal Runyan, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, presented an out-dated list of projects and the committee requested clarification of which projects would be financed through bonding. Runyan could not be reached for comment. Robert Lawless, associate director of finance for the board, said the decision was delayed to enable the committee to receive additional information on the bonding request. “ I think they needed to get some additional information. That is usually why bills are held,” Lawless said. “They can be held because (the committee) isn’t going to do anything with them. But in this case, to my understanding, it was because the committee needed additional informa­ tion,” he said. Lawless said the delays in making a decision on the bill will not have any effect on the universities’ ability to sell the bonds. “It’s important that (the Legislature) authorize the bonds,” Lawless said. “But the important thing is the univer­ sities’ ability to pay them back. “The fact that they are being held have no bearing on the universities,” he said. A companion bill calling for state appropriations to be bas­ ed on a university’s full-time student enrollment (FTE) figures has also been delayed for an undetermined amount of time, Lewis said. ... ill Sometimes ,1the decision noti ito. Uhear the Ubill means 4that we will not get the appropriations,” Lewis said. “The Legislature, if it wanted to, can appropriate money for capital projects,” she said. Lewis said the bill would place the FTE count base into the state laws and would provide the board with a consistent method of determining appropriations requests. “If (the bill) is not approved we will actively pursue $11.5 million (in appropriations) for ASU-West,” she said. Lewis said the bill would also prohibit the universities from receiving more appropriations than the $200 per FTE. She said the universities would not be receiving an increas­ ed amount of appropriations under the FTE base. In other business, the Appropriations Committee approved the transfer of the Arizona Children’s Hospital to ASU. The bill has been referred to the Senate Rules Committee for approval before being sent to the Senate floor for final ap­ proval. __ police re p o rt Approximately 2,700 pounds of lithium chloride, a liquid chemical salt solution used in experimental air conditioning systems, and three one-half horsepower pumps were stolen from the Engineering Building Room F-120 sometime during Christmas break, police said. Total loss is estimated at $7,155. ASU Police Chief C. Russell Duncan and Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Byard Wood, who reported the theft, said they do not know why anyone would want a salt solution which absorbs water vapor from the air. “It’s kind of a mystery to us,” said Wood. “We have strange things happen (at ASU),” said Duncan. Police do not know how the large plastic containers with the solution were carried out of the building. Wood told ASU police that a report had not been filed earlier because he had been unaware that insurance would cover the loss. Bradley Thurman was arrested in connec­ tion with filing a false report with police Thursday afternoon, police said. Thurman was cited after a football game last October for drinking while underage. He gave police his brother’s name and ID number and did not show up in court. When confronted in Manzanita Hall Thursday, he denied receiving a citation. Four vending machines in the lower level of the MU were forced open and the Saga Foods office on the main level was vandaliz­ ed sometime between 2:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Sunday, police said. Damage is estimated at $5,000. Robert Scott MacDonald was arrested and charged with theft of state property, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, ag­ gravated assault of a police officer and criminal damage to state property at Man­ zanita Hall early Sunday, police said. MacDonald took a set of master keys from the desk attendant at Manzanita Hall and when two ASU police officers arrived, Mac­ Donald began yelling and screaming at them and punched one of the officers in the chest, police said. When officers tried to de­ tain him he began fighting. Three cabinets in the lobby were damaged and an officer in­ jured his left leg and shin during the strug­ gle. In other activity, University Police reported the following incidents in the fiveday period ending at5:30a.m. Monday: •Ten male students got into a fight behind Palo Verde West Hall late Friday, police said. The men would not tell police what the fight was about or aid in prosecution. •An officer found a resident of Palo Verde West Hall passed out in a sixth floor shower. He had left the shower running, causing water to flow down the staircase, which led an employee to believe a water pipe had broken. — MELISSA SMYTH PREVENT ALL THE WELL, WINE & DRAFT YOU CAN DRINK TONIGHT 8:30-11:30 BE THERE FOR WILDEST NIGHT IN TOWN GETOFFTOA GREAT START $5 GUYS • $3 GALS Only at DONNY O’ BRIEN S 2 2 2 S.

It violates the United Nations’ Human Rights charter which states, “Members are pledged to pro­ mote universal observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion.” South African apartheid, an Afrikaans w o rd t h a t m e a n s “ a p a r t ” or “separateness,” is the government’s policy of segregating whites and blacks. The Na­ tional Party instituted apartheid only 40 years ago after British colonial withdrawal. Afrikaaners staunchly support this racist policy despite criticism from the rest of the world. The white minority government seems determined to maintain the status quo, whether it be by imprisoning and bann­ ing outspoken opposition leaders or by using violence. South Africa’s government policies deprive more than 20 million blacks of their fundamental human rights. Apartheid ex­ cludes blacks from voting and having any part in government policy. In fact, blacks are denied citizenship of the Republic of South Africa. Blacks are forced to live in “homelands” — areas designated for “blacks only.” If they live in an area reserv­ ed for whites they are forcibly removed and sent to live in corrugated steel houses built on infertile land, miles away from white cities. If permission is granted to enter a white city to seek employment, a black will earn approximately 25 percent of the average white wage. Blacks cannot live where they choose, they cannot marry whom they choose. Interracial sex and mar­ riage are forbidden under the Immorality and Mixed Marriages Act. Clearly, a system is unjust when three out of four of its natives are denied these basic rights. Whites fear that giving blacks the vote would doom them to the same oppression that they have inflicted on blacks. They foresee themselves excluded from a blackruled government. Whites in Rhodesia had the same fears 15 years ago. Ian Smith, former prime minister of the white minority government in Rhodesia claimed that “Rhodesia would not have a black government in a thousand years.” Fourteen years and 20,000 deaths proved him wrong. Ian Smith is now a Member of Parliament (MP) in Robert Mugabe’s black-ruled Zimbabwe. Twenty parliamentary seats are reserved for whites. Some whites have even joined the black party, discarding the old guard. As it desperately attempts to resist, the South African government fears and resents meddling from outsiders. President P.W. Botha stated on Nightline, “they do not need superpowers interfering in their internal af­ fairs.” He chose not to mention that South Africa has its hand in the politics of Angola, Mozambique and several other countries in the region. According to K.J. Holsti in Politics Among Nations, the South African government has consistently characterized its apartheid policies as purely a domestic affair, while other nations have insisted that these policies threaten peace and violate the declaration of Human Rights. The United States has adopted a policy of “Constructive Engagement” devised by Chester Crocker, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, hoping that Con­ structive Engagement will head off violence inside South Africa and elsewhere in the region. This policy allows Afrikaaners to play for time at home and abroad. In other words, Constructive Engagement enables the government to avoid change once again. The Afrikaaners seem to think they can avoid the inevitable by using force to silence the opposition. The government has manag­ ed to suppress the African National Con­ gress (ANC), a nationalist movement, by imprisoning its leaders and banning the organization altogether. In spite of this, the ANC continues to function in exile. If the whites carry on this blatant racism, it is on­ ly a matter of time before 20 million blacks completely overwhelm the white minority of 5 million. South African whites must read the writing on the wall, or soon the wall will be stained red with blood. There will be a revolution such as the recent one in Zim­ babwe. Finally, greed and arrogance are paving the way to what political scientists call Zero Sum Situation, where the Afrikaans have everything to lose and the blacks everything to gain. The blacks of South Africa are not anti­ white; they are anti-apartheid. They want an equal share in governing South Africa. Understandably, they insist on having full citizenship in the Republic of South Africa and refuse to be relegated to their so-called “homelands.” The government is reforming what it calls “petty” apartheid laws such as segregated cinem as, buses; some hotels are desegregated. But as Bishop Tutu said, “You cannot reform evil, you must abolish it." Distinctions between City o f Lord andcults enum erated Editor: One of the publications that appears weekly on campus recently published an article which devoted a rather large amount of space to a Christian organization named The City of the Lord. The article contained a number of tedentious comments and allegations by a student named Bill Adair, who is extremely active in the political campaign of Chris Cummiskey — a fact which went unmentioned in the article. Perhaps it is only coincidental that the paper endorsed Mr. Cummiskey in the same issue. The writer of the article and Adair were obviously deter­ mined to leave the impression that the Christian organization is a religious cult which “maintains cult-like control over its members” (to quote Adair) and that its “belief system” ex­ erts undue influence on student government through four (!) of its student members. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that the article is a transparent (and clumsy) attempt to smear several can­ didates for next year’s student government who are not, with one exception, members of the Christian organization but who have “openly confessed their Christian beliefs.” Exten­ ding that line of argument would, of course, call into doubt the political candidacy of every Christian, including Mr. Cummiskey —one of the candidates favored by the paper. As for the Christian organization which is responsible for the bad dreams of Adair and the weekly, it is neither a cult nor a church. It is an ecumenical Christian community which exists (1) to facilitate the spiritual, moral, and intellectual development of its members (2) to promote unity among Christian churches and (3) to serve the needs of society when asked to do so. Because the community is largely Catholic, we maintain open lines of communication with the Roman Catholic bishop of Phoenix and have his approval and encouragement.

A friend brought me a copy of the State Press in which Matthew Scully “revisited” Dr. Morgan’s Human Sexuality class (March 6), and I was surprised to read such sarcasm and vitriol directed at an individual whose course I recall being such a good one. Back in the mid-70s, when I took the class, the purpose of it was to enrich the students' understanding of human sexuali­ ty. Through our textbook, Dr. Morgan’s lectures, films and guest speakers, we were introduced to nearly every variation on the human sexuality theme: we met a transsexual saving for a sex-change operation, an elderly woman who spoke to us about sex in the “golden years,” a homosexual, a young woman who talked to us about breast-feeding and how its aceptance has waxed and waned in Western society over the years, and a young married couple, one of whom lives in a wheelchair, who talked to us about sex and the handicapped. In all, Dr. Morgan introduced us to the full range of human sexuality, and stimulated our thinking about peoples’ similarities and differences. I benefited greatly from his class, and am frankly astonished at Matthew Scully’s ap­ parent lack of regard for it. From Mr. Scully’s column, 1think I can tell a lot about him, though. He probably would like to attend a university in which no course is offered which would challenge any of his own attitudes or beliefs. He probably fears for the minds and souls of the student body, suspecting that a class such as Dr. Morgan’s is capable of corruption. Having made his own decision about how to conduct his life. Scully probably assumes that the other students at the university who haven’t come up with the same conclusions as his will happily waltz down the path to perdition, having taken such truly awful courses as sociology, the family, and (for sure) Dr. Morgan's Human Sexuality. Matthew Scully’s university would be quite small: a few buildings, not too many classes, and an abundance of little minds congratulating themselves on hav­ ing made the "right" choice. 1, for one, believe that the students at ASU can sit through a class on anything and come out with an open mind, and not give up a whit of their own morality. I took Dr. Morgan's class and learned a lot, but didn't become a homosexual or transvestite, don’t practice group sex and have never (as it turned out) breast fed a baby. But I can know and appreciate people who are different than me; I can recognize their humanness and like them in spite of our differences. I can understand why people look at the world differently than I do and not be offended by them, or try to change them. I guess Owen Morgan’s class —among others at ASU — helped me to become a more loving and car­ ing human being who is not threatened by differences, who can see that the standards of behavior have changed through time and will change again, and who appreciates the concept of education as a thing which opens doors — not closes them to everything but that which is deemed right and proper by a few.

CO-SPONSOR N U A B FILMS WEDNESDAY COMMITTEE APRIL IDTH Page 6 State P ro » Tuesday, April g, 1985 Swiss Alps backpacking readies hikers for lives in full awareness By NICOLE MASSIE Staff Writer “It is a preparation for life. It helps people prepare for their lives in full awareness,’’ Dolf Waldmeier said about backpacking through the Swiss Alps. For the past 12 years Waldmeier has led college students through the Swiss Alps where he was raised, he said. Waldmeier will show slides of previous trips and begin recruiting students for this summmer’s hiking trip at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday in the MU Pinal Room, he said. The trip lasts one month, beginning July 21 and ending Aug. 20, he said. The cost is $100, including a $30 deposit that must be paid before the end of May. This cost does not in­ clude food or airfare, he said. The average costs for last year’s trip was $1,500, Waldmeier said. The trip helps students prepare for their lives in several ways, he said. The hikers form their own government and make decisions as a group. He said this teaches students to be self-sufficient and self-reliant. Buying food individually teaches them to organize themselves and plan, he said. The Swiss climate is unpredictable, he said. The morning may be warm enough to swim in a mountain lake, but the afternoon may cloud up and hikers may wake the next day to snow. Hikers must be prepared for anything, he said. He said hikers come from various schools, American and European. There are usually three to five students from ASU, and about 30 in a group. Anyone who is in reasonably good shape is eligible for the hike, he said. The hike goes progressively, so even students who have no backpacking experience can participate, he said. The heavy packs are sent ahead of the hikers on an aerial cable weight so they don’t have to carry them. This makes the trip easier and more enjoyable for the hikers, he said. He said the camping is “free and above some of the most renowned resorts in Switzerland.” Waldmeir said the trip is a renewing and reviving ex­ perience. Students can better contemplate the direction of their lives in the serene and beautiful setting, he said. They may even have a change of mind and re-establish their goals. The hikers practice “scientific yoga,” he said. This is cor­ rect breathing, which is breathing through the nose “gratefully and consciously.” Waldmeier has been hiking since his father took him on trips through the Alps as a small child, he said. According to Waldmeier, he used to be a language teacher but “his love for the mountains became of central impor­ tance in his life.” He said he finds his chief motivation for life in the Alps. He said over the years students have formed close friend­ ships while on the hike that have been lasting, some even for a lifetime. The slide presentation will show famous spots of the Swiss Alps such as the Matterhorn area, the Eiger Mountain area, St. Moritz area, Subtrobical Switzerland, south of the Alps and Lake Maggiore area.

Greek Games is a series of competitions between mixed fraternity and sorority teams which took place Saturday, Joe Trumbull said. According to the Greek Games Committee Rules Booklet, “This Greek Games was the largest in the history of ASU, with over 32 sororities and fraternities participating.” The Games consisted of four different trials of physical skill: pyramid building, a cage ball match, an obstacle course and the traditional tug of war competition. Greek Games was moved to ASU’s band practice field, unlike last year when the event was held behind the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house. “This year, the Games were moved to a larger field so that the teams would not be as cramped,” Trumbull said. Moving the Games was not the only change this year. There was no alcohol served, sold or allowed into the Games field, a committee member said. “The lack of alcohol didn’t seem to stop anyone from coming to the Games,” said another committee member, who was also a judge. Ed Finer, chairman of the Greek Games Committee, said an extraordinary amount of food was ordered in anticipation of the numerous people expected to attend the event. “There was enough Pizza Hut pizza, Appetito’s subs, hot dogs and hamburgers to feed in excess of 2,100 people,” he said. To keep competitors cool, there was ice provided by Snow, an eating establishment near campus and Pepsi soft drinks for 2,500 people. 1,000 bottles of Crystal Geyser water was also available, Finer said. Another first for the Games was the addition of celebrity judges including Deney Terrio of the television program Dance Fever and Ernie Hudson, a cast member of the movie Hungry hoards line up for free food during the 32nd Annual Greek Games Saturday. After filling their tummies, the gang competed in various events, including pyramid-building and the obstacle course. Ghostbusters, Finer said. The event began at 12:30 p.m. after a short food break and a group picture of all the participants. By 3 p.m. the final Tug of War round was completed. A member of the Games committee said, “Once it got started the day ran smoother than expected with only minor complications.” Winners received different amounts of points for first through eighth places. These points make up the major por­ tion of the total amount of Greek Games points. There are also points awarded for the banner competition and participation in events leading up to the Games, Trumbull said. The winning teams will be announced at Greek Week Closing Ceremonies Monday, Finer said. More than 2,500 members of the Greek system attended the event, with 400 participating in the games. Greek Games is part of Greek Week 1985, which began Friday and ends Mon­ day.

Bill to reduce student aid opposed by association By MELISSA OLSON Staff Writer The Arizona Students’ Association wants students to get involved in opposing a federal bill that would cut $2.3 billion in stu­ dent financial aid and loans, according to the executive director of the organization. Diane Zipley said opposition and protests to the bill will continue until the bill has been voted on. She said she is not sure the importance of the bill, which was introduced by U.S. Education Secretary William Bennett, has hit students. Arizona will lose $25 million in student aid and loans that will affect 10,000 students, said Paul Julien, student member of the Arizona Board of Regents. If the bill is enacted in full, ASU will lose approximately $15 million of the $36 million currently received, said Ray Burnell, Associated Students of ASU president. This will affect 30 percent of ASU students, according to statistics compiled by Burnell. Among Arizona congressmen, Zipley said, six out of seven will vote against the bill. Most congressmen don’t want to back the bill because it is a controversial subject, she said. A letter explaining the students’ position is being submitted to the Arizona congres­ sional delegation, said Julien, who drafted the letter.
