Aide files complaint against 4 Greeks friday May 3, 1985 slate press Arizona State University Voi. 67 No. 137 Copyright. State Press. 1985 By CARRI L. MITCHELL Staff Writer * ' ASU community service aide has filed a disorderly connplaint against four members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, claiming they harassed her while she was distributing parking tickets, an Interfraternity Council representative said. IFC Executive Secretary Steve McCarly said the aide, Sylvia Brown, claims she was called degrading racial names while she was ticketing illegally parked cars. ASU police refused to release the names of the fraternity members. The four fraternity members met Thursday with Arthur Carter, assistant director of student life, to discuss the com­ plaint against them. “It was mainly a fact-finding meeting, an informal hearing-type procedure, ’’ Carter said. He said they presented the complaint to the accused members, and a sanction will be recommended next week. “We still want to speak with several other people and get more information,” he said. Carter declined to say what type of sanction might be issued. Leon Shell, director of student life, said, “What we do is go through a fact-finding process, and then we make a recom­ mended dispostion.” He said the investigation into the incident is in the fact­ finding stage. After the facts have been gathered, a recom­ mended course of action will be taken. Shell said the action taken will be according to those ac­ tions described in the University code of conduct. The original complaint filed against the four men was disorderly conduct, but University regulations changed the complaint to state that the fraternity members kept the aide from doing her job, he said. “We’re looking at individual members, but we are con­ cerned with the fraternity house also,” he said. “We expect to meet with the fraternity’s executive board.” According to Doug Ducey, president of Pi Kappa Alpha, the four members of the house did not call her racial names. “They were not yelling at her because of her race or gender," Ducey said. “They were just yelling at her because she was a community service aide and because of the park­ ing situation at ASU. “The fraternity is not involved with it right now,” he said. Ducey said the four members will be reprimanded by the IFC and by the fraternity. Fare thee well Although today marks the end of another semester for the State Press, you need not fret.

Board of Regents reviews progress of past year By VICKIE CHACHERE Staff Writer The Arizona Board of Regents was able to overcome several controversial issues this year, including board elec­ tion calls from state lawmakers and problems with teacher­ training tests, but next year promises to be more challeng­ ing, several regents said Thursday. Regent President Donald Pitt said the past school year was characterized by long-range planning, minority recruitment and retention issues, problems in the ASU College of Educa­ tion and pressure from the Arizona Legislature. “ It has been an excellent year," Pitt said. “We set objectives and, for the most part, we implemented the action necessary to attain these objectives," he said. Regent Edith Ausländer also said the board made signifi­ cant progress in improving education at ASU, NAU and U of A. Ausländer, who joined the board last May, said she has spent the last year learning about the board's operations. “Sometimes I felt overwhelmed by the complexity of the board," she said. “The issues are challenging . . . and the board has shown a great responsibility to the people of Arizona in dealing with their money,” she said. “ I was on the losing side of some votes, but I believe in the group process, " she said. Ausländer said she was pleased with the board's progress in minority recruitment and retention issues. "Great strides have been made for equality of women and minorities," Ausländer said. “There is a sensitivity on the board for the needs of students. “ It’s obvious to me that the administrations (of ASU, NAU and U of A) are committed to increasing the recruitment (of minorities),” she said. Conflicts with the Legislature were among the more ob­ vious problems faced by the board, Pitt said. Heated exchanges between the board and the Legislature reached a peak when lawmakers tried to remove Gov. Bruce Babbitt's power to appoint board members. The bill, introduced by Rep. John Kromko, D-Tucson, was approved by the House Judiciary Committee and was scheduled to be debated before the full House. The legislation was later referred to the House Education Committee by Chairman Jim Cooper, R-Mesa, where it died. Kromko said he introduced the legislation because the board was unresponsive to requests by both the Legislature and members of the university communities. Ausländer said the problems in the Legislature resulted from a misunderstanding between the two groups. “We were being as responsible as we could,” she said. Kromko said, “The bill did have a lot of impact, but I don't know if it will produce results. " He said questions raised by the Legislature concerning the quality of undergraduate education and attempts by the board to improve it have been left unanswered. “The regents all said they supported that . . . they were really giving lip service to the concept, ” he said. Additional tension was created over the board’s replace­ ment of the Arizona Teacher Proficiency Exam, Kromko said. Critics of the test said it was discriminatory to minority groups and had a negative effect on all prospective teachers. “ Its very difficult to put a test into place in the time ele­ ment the Legislature allowed and make sure it was not discriminatory,” Ausländer said. “ It was impossible to do both,” she said. Kromko said he plans to re-introduce the legislation during next year’s session. “ (The regents) know that I have the votes and we will see what happens,” Kromko said. “They didn’t think that the bill would go anywhere,” he said. “If Cooper had not referred it to his committee, the bill would have passed the house. “The Legislature talked about it, but they never realized how much support there was for that bill. I think (the regents) got the message, or at least I hope they have." Kromko said he was not sure when he introduced the bill that it was appropriate or would bring about any changes, and he was surprised when the legislation received support from other lawmakers. “There has been a lot of hostility in the Legislature all along, and I have to admit that it fueled a lot of support for the bill,” he said. “I don’t know if there have been any changes by my bill,” Kromko said. “A lot of legislators perceived the regents as being very arrogant. . . I can’t blame them." Pitt said, “Those comments, to me, indicate that the board has to do a better job of communicating openly and regularly with the Legislature." Regent Jack Pfister said he believes the last year was a “very good one” for the board, despite the conflicts. “We started our planning process," he said. “We got through the year with a minimum of turmoil with tuition. “I think there will always be some tension between the Board of Regents and the Legislature. I think on balance, we have improved our relations with the Legislature. “For the most part, the board has good relations with the Legislature, but they could use some improvement," he said. “We have been more responsive. There are always one or two bills that are designed to send the Board of Regents a message." Pfister said the board will emphasize long-range planning and improving undergraduate education next fall and will “continue to monitor the progress and changes being made at the universities." Additional attention will be paid to the initial construction of ASU-West, Ausländer said.

National Institutes of Health scientists say the prototype vaccine, still years away from human testing, also appears to offer protection against different types of herpes viruses that cause human disease. The vaccine, which combines parts of a herpes virus with one used in the smallpox vaccine, is the first to indicate prevention of latent infections that can spur later attacks — one of the biggest problems associated with herpes infec­ tions, the researchers said. Ejected fam in e victim s m ay die on forced march, officials say ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Many of the 58,000 famine victims evicted from an emergency camp are sick or starving and may die in long marches through cold mountain weather to their home districts, international relief officials said Thursday. But the Marxist government’s relief director said the peo­ ple were healthy and left the Ibnet camp voluntarily. He said they were returning home to plant crops now that rain has begun to fall, and would be provided with food, seed, fer­ tilizer, tools and oxen. Maj. Dawit Wolde Giogis, the government relief commis­ sioner, described the reports of mass eviction as groundless. However, the Rev. Jack Finnucane, who helped run the camp, contradicted Dawit. Finnucane said he saw people forced out in “a very harsh” manner and that when he flew in a small plane over the area he saw starving children and elderly people trudging along mountain paths below.

Nicaragua has appealed to the Soviet Union for economic aid, and Vice President Sergio Ramirez said he will seek help from all quarters in an effort to ease the embargo’s effect. W alesa tells governm ent to expect violence if policies continued WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Solidarity leader Lech Walesa told the government Thursday to expect violence if it con­ tinues to “govern only with clubs.” He spoke a day after May Day street battles between demonstrators and riot police. Shortly before the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize winner made his statement, two of his leading comrades — Jacek Kuron and Seweryn Jaworski —were sent to prison for three months for taking part in an illegal but peaceful May Day march. Kuron is Poland’s leading dissident intellectual and Jaworski is a Warsaw leader of the outlawed union. CORRECTION On page 10 of Wednesday’s State Press, Stacie Anfinson was incorrectly referred to as a “beauty queen.” Although she is a former Miss North Dakota and competed in the 1981 Miss America pageant, such contestants are officially called pageant representatives. Also, Anfinson is a graduate stu­ dent in English, not in communications as reported. The State Press apologizes for the errors. continued from page 1 campus ASU-West to create a link between the community colleges and the universities. “I am very supportive of what ASU-West will do,” she said. “I don’t think it is in conflict with any of the universities. ” Student Regent Paul Julien, whose term will expire after the May meeting, said, “ It has been a privilege fo me to be part of this Board of Regents. ” ASU economics graduate student Nora Colton will assume the position as the new student regent in July. Julien said, “The regents have agreed to taking a look at some of my ideas in their planning policy. ” “We are going to continue to look for improvements in undergraduate education and there have been some giant strides,” he said. Julien said the board will address the issue of undergraduate education in their next meeting May 31 at ASU. He said issues concerning curriculum changes within the colleges of education also will be discussed during the sum­ mer, and the board is pleased with the progress being made. “We are looking at a new dean for ASU,” Julien said. “We hired a new dean at U of A and a new director at NAU. “There is a real interest to have the regents develop a longrange plan,” he said, adding that efforts also are underway to encourage greater funding of projects by the Legislature. Julien said the problems with the Legislature were among the most difficult in his term. "That has been very frustrating for me this year,” Julien said. “The source of the problem has been really a lack of communication. “I think there are some members of the Legislature that have a particular problem with the universities, and they tend to be very vocal,” he said. “What I have found is that if you explain the issues to them, they are satisfied. ” Julien said the legislators did not ask the board questions on certain issues, which was a basis for much of the confu­ sion. “The problem is their questions are asked publicly or in an embarrassing way,” he said. “On the surface, there appears to be a great amount of disagreement. ” H O W A R D J O H N S O N 'S HOTEL $2.97 $2.36 $2.97 $ .75 Deliver e car for ua for coat of gat only.

Roxanne Suntken, an ASU business administration junior, said members of Responsibility For Ending Starvation Using Legislation Trimsetting and Support (RESULTS) urge U.S. Congressmen and Senators to alleviate hunger in foreign countries. Members of RESULTS are not involved with collecting donations but “educating and teaching citizens on how to write letters (to their Congressmen),” she said. RESULTS works to get politicians involved in solving the problem of world hunger, she said. Suntken said that “local groups will use self-teaching techniques to master basic information about government programs and legislation that address hunger throughout the world.” RESULTS lobbies legislators to allocate “taxpayer’s money towards hunger projects,” she said. “RESULTS was the organization that generated $50 million for primary health care and $10 million for nutrition programs" around the world, she said. Suntken said Sam Harris, the founder of the group, “saw there was a definite need to create the political will and to make individuals feel involved.” Suntken said that “ political backbone” is needed to end the problem. “The world has the technology and resources to feed every person. “We realize at the beginning we have to give them a hand out to eventually give them a hand up,” Suntken said. Regular telephone conversations are held with the group’s national headquarters in Washington, D.C., she said. The nationwide group, which started in 1980, has another branch in Tucson and will be coming to Phoenix for the first time. Suntken said participation in the organization “involves a sincere commitment to making a difference in the world. ’’ RESULTS will hold its first meeting Monday at noon in the MU Pinal Room. Profs receive grant for statewide health education program By NICOLE MASSIE Staff Writer A grant for a three-year statewide health education program was recently awarded to two ASU faculty members by the Phoenix Flinn Foundation, a visiting professor of research physics said Thursday. Frances Lawrenz and ASU physics pro­ fessor Bill Tillery, co-directors of the Portal Program in School Health, received the $332,422 grant last month. The portal program will help fourth and fifth-grade teachers statewide design a health program to fit within their regular curriculum, Lawrenz said. The Flinn Foundation is a private organization established in 1965 and funded with money left by Dr. Robert Flinn, who was raised in Prescott and practiced medicine in Phoenix, said John Murphy, ex­ ecutive director of the Flinn Foundation. Teachers from 28 of Arizona's 219 school districts will receive training in the area of health instruction from June 10 to 21 at ASU, she said. The instructors will then return to their local districts prepared to train other teachers for the program, Lawrenz said. Speed Listening The preliminary data indicates the pro­ gram will have a positive impact on the health education of the state, she said. Approximately 50 teachers from school districts chosen by the Flinn Foundation will participate in the first training session beginning in June, she said. Lawrenz said the program will be offered to elementary school teachers in different parts of the state each year. Districts within Maricopa County and the northern Arizona area will send teachers to be trained this year, she said.
