'Jim W alters, a 45-year-old A rizona businessman, said, “ One of the first things 1 would do as Libertarian governor would be to sell this school and the other state universities. ” W alters told nearly 50 people on the West Lawn that selling the universities to private businesses would create a m arket for education. He said the quality of education at the three campuses would improve because of competition between the businesses controlling the universities. “ If the universities were allowed to compete on a free-m arket basis, the quality of education would be better,” W alters said, adding that state control over the universities has created an “ unfair barrier” for competition. “ They have built these huge, m ultim illion-dollar white elephants,” he said. “ They build beautiful buildings, but the quality of education is bad. ’ ’ W alters, who attended ASU between 1961 and 1969 but never received a degree, said the cost of education a t the three universities would be considerably less and education would be available to students from lower income fam ilies because of consumer demand. W alters said taxes no longer would be collected to support public education and residents could save the money they would have spent on taxes to pay for education. He said he would also like to see the Arizona Board of Regents elim inated. “ If we elim inated the colleges we don’t need a governing board,” he said. “ When the state takes the responsibility for education, they apply their own.bias and slant to the education process. “ (Students’) minds are programmed the way they would like to see it go. ” W alters, who said his political party is a “ viable alternative to the tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum parties,” added that the revenues from the sale of the universities would be used to pay off state debts. “ 1 don't think there is any reason to put five generations in debt for something we want to do now.” . “ You don’t need a billion-dollar cam pus. ” W alters said he is a proponent of making consumers pay for the services they use, and that education is a service like any other. He said he also supports the withdrawal of state funds for highways and roads, and that the roads should be sold to private companies who would charge tolls for maintenance. “ it ’s not proper for the government to take everybody’s money — steal it from them — and d o leito u t.” In other issues, W alters said he favors the legalization o f m arijuana and prostitution and a repeal of the minimum drinking age. W alters, who was convicted in 1961 of smuggling m arijuana, said he is in favor of the legalization of all acts classified as “ victim less crim es,” because the additional laws create more government bureaucracy and restrictions on individual freedom s. “ The best kind of government is no government at a ll,” he said. , W alters explained that although he believes government in itself is restriciting individual freedom s, he wants to be governor in order to “ turn the thrust around” by “ cleaning house and deflating governm ent." “ We would like to turn off the ligh t,” he said. .

Libya Congressm an supports military action against Khadafy U .S . Congressm an Jim Kolbe, R-Arizona, said Monday evening he supports President Reagan’s decision to strike against Libyan leader M oam m ar Khadafy as a response to terrorism . “ We are at war with L ib ya,” Kolbe said from Washington D .C . in a State Press telephone interview. “ There is no question about th a t (Khadafy) has made that plain. “ I have criticized the president in the past for hot responding effectively to terrorism . I think this response is appropriate.” K o lb e ’ s re m a rk s fo llo w e d an announcement by Presidential spokesman Larry Speakes that the United States carried out a series of “ carefully planned” air strikes against Libya in retaliation for recent terrorist acts. “ U .S . m ilitary forces have executed a series of carefully planned air strikes against terrorist-related targets in L ib ya,” Speakes said. Speakes said Am erican m ilitary aircraft O T o d a attacked terrorist centers and m ilitary targests in Libya at around 2 a.m . Tripoli tim e, about 5 p.m . Arizona tim e. He said the m ilitary action took place after it was decided that Khadafy was responsible for last week’s bombing of a discotheque frequented by A m erican servicem en in West Berlin. Speakes said the m ilitary action was targeted at m ilitary installations in Libya, and “ we took every precaution” to ensure that no civilians would be affected by the strikes. Kolbe said the U .S . now has to wait for Khadafy’s next step before taking further m ilitary action. ‘(The Soviets) understand what we are doing. I think this is a matter between us and Colonel Khadafy.’ ‘""f" 2 — Rep. Jim Kolbe “ There is clear' evidence that Libya is planning future attacks,’ ’ he said. Speakes said that adm inistration officials had succeeded in tying Khadafy “ very directly” to the attack in which an Am erican servicem an and a Turkish woman were killed. “ We cannot permit countries to carry on this kind of activity,” he said. “ We don’t avoid (terrorism) by trying to placate this individual.” Kolbe said reaction in Washington D .C . to the strikes was supportive, although it was hard to judge reaction since announcement y A n anti-nuclear activist says the peace movement m ust offer security alternatives to the arms race to be effectlve.Page 3.

Divers recover joint involved in explosion W ASHINGTON (A P) — Diving teams have recovered a'mueh-sought portion of the booster rocket joint whose failu re is suspected of causing toe space shuttle Challenger explosion and it shows evidence of burning, the presidential shuttle commission said Monday. Commission Chairm an W illiam P . Rogers said, “ One of the two sections erf critical interest” was recovered Sunday and that it was from a joint area where a leak in the booster rocket is thought to have occurred, causing the shuttle’s explosion. “ A burnt out area of the joint tang at about the 300 degree position is evident,” he said. The other key piece, the bottom of toe joint, still h is not been located. Engineers believe that a leak in the seam between the bottom and the second segment of the right booster rocket allowed flam e to escape, severing the bottom attachm ent and causing the top of the booster to swivel into the large external tank of liquid fuel, setting off the explosion.
