K.A. Vijaisimh, who also is an ASU computer science faculty associate, said ASU set up the training center in Bhopal, India, for victims of the Union Carbide gas leak. But he said it was impossible for ASU to work with the Indian government and the Indian Red Cross. The 1984 Union Carbide gas leak killed an estimated 2,500 and injured another 400,000. Union Carbide gave ASU $2 million in December 1985 to fund the project. “Both organizations each have their own set of bureaucratic rules,” Vijaisimh said. “It was too difficult for us to bend the rules.” The training center provides vocational and technical training for about 400 students. Some students were blinded or permanently disabled by the gas leak. University faculty members were banned from India for more than five months last year because Indian officials refused to accept money from Union Carbide while the country was involved in legal action against the corporation. Vijaisimh and Project Director Bill Lewis traveled to India to close the school in December because funding was not able to reach Bhopal. But with a $4,000 refund from a center construction site, the school was kept open for another two months. Lewis said between $750,000 and $1 million of the Union Carbide grant was spent on the project. The remainder of the funds will be returned to the corporation. He said University officials had difficulty establishing contracts with the non-profit organization that runs the center and missed some contract deadlines. In October, The Times of India in New Delhi reported that ASU was pulling out of the project due to the “hostile and noncooperative attitude” of the Indian government toward the center. The newspaper said ASU officials told Indira Iyeriger, the center’s director, in October that ASU would be pulling out of the center. But Lewis denied that University officials had considered pulling out in October. V ija isim h sa id ASU’s p rim a ry responsibility was to create the center, and since that task is complete, the operation and control of the school will be turned over to the center’s administrators. “We really worked hard, and we got the job done,” he said. “The bottom line is that the school is running. ” Ed Van De Ameele, a Union Carbide spokesman, said the corporation- will continue to fund the project through the Indian Red Cross. “We find it tragic that bureacratic barriers erected by the government of India have closed down the badly-needed Bhopal Vocational Training Center,” he said. “People at ASU and in India have made the center a real success story.” 2 Tempe women injured after car collides with truck By MIKE BURGESS State Press : Two Tempe women were hospitalized Monday after their car crashed into a tractor-trailer on Southern Avenue, spilling 100 gallons of gasoline and closing the eastbound lane for more than an hour. Emily Sweis and Deidre Thelander, both 19, were treated at the scene for possible head injuries and taken to Desert Samaritan Hospital in Mesa. Both women were released late Monday afternoon. The truck’s driver, 35-year-old Michael Eugene Carlton, was not injured. Tempe police officer Jesse Flores said Carlton was turning into the north entrance of the Southern Village Shops, 1805 E. Southern Ave., when the women’s Hyundai Excel collided with his vehicle’s gasoline tank.— - *?r..... :— — : - '■ .— “The guy driving the tractor-trailor was making a wide turn from the median and apparently did not see the red (Hyundai),” Flores said. Tempe police spokesman Steve Crooks said the accident is under investigation. Carlton said his tractor-trailor sustained between $500 and $600 in damages. “I didn’t know where she came from,” he said. “I just saw a red flash hit me in the side.” Tom Sheetz, Tempe street maintenance foreman, said it took six men and about 300 gallons of water to clean up the gasoline spill. He said sand was spread on the street tp soak up the gasoline, and a sweeper truck was called in to haul away the sand before it entered the sewer system. inside today Andy Mrozinski/State Press Above, Tempe resident Deidre Thelander, 19, Is treated by Tempe fire paramedics fo ra possible head Injury sustained In an accident Monday morning at Southern Avenue and McCIIntock Drive.

Evan Mecham’s adviser on the project. Jacob said Arizona’s clim ate and geological stability make it stand above other competing states. President Reagan and the Department of Energy will choose the winning state in mid-1988. Construction will be completed by 1994. Critics of the Super Collider have said the computer technology running die atom smasher will be outdated shortly after the project is installed, and perhaps sooner. Jacob countered that computer scientists will m eet the sm asher’s computer technology demands. But, he conceded, the technology surrounding the smasher will be outdated 10 to 20 years after it’s built. “What we’ve learned from it will make it worthwhile,” Jacob said. “Even new generators may find a home in the existing cavity the Super Collider would create. ” If Arizona is picked by Reagan and the DOE, Jacob said ASU will become a powerful university overnight. The Super Collider will be a trump card for easy By b e n M cCo n n e l l State Press MARICOPA MOUNTAINS — ASU and Arizona officials hope to land a $4.4 billion atom smasher here that would rocket the University’s reputation and the state’s economy into super-drive. The federally-financed, 56-mile long Superconducting Super Collider will be an underground magnetic racetrack for protons. The protons gain lightning speed racing around the oval track, eventually smashing into each other. A cadre of scientists will examine the mess, which is expected to be the ingredients of matter, an ASU researcher said. ASU Department of Physics Chairman Dick Jacob said physicists will pick apart the mess, hoping to decipher the creation of the universe and examine unknown particles the Super Collider exposes or creates. Arizona is one of ten states competing for the project, which is expected to generate 30,000 short-term jobs and 3,000 permanent jobs. A second Arizona site, southwest of Tucson, also is being considered. Hundreds of millions of dolllars in tax revenue would flood state coffers, Jacob said.

Extinguisher program understaffed, analyst says By KERRY FEHR State Prase The inspector of ASU fire extinguishers said Monday he is overburdened in the job of inspecting the 3,500 extinguishers and about 45 fire protection systems on campus. Mike Smith, ASU’s sole fire systems analyst, said the University needs to hire two or three more full-time staff members to monitor the campus fire protection systems. Currently, Smith and a student assistant, who works 20 hours a week, must cover the entire campus and other ASU-owned property. “We’re really short-handed, to tell you the truth,” Smith said. “This has been stretching me a bit.” Andy Anderson, ASU’s coordinator for health and safety, agreed. “I’m concerned that we can’t keep up with the growth, and I’m concerned that we can’t keep up the inspection program,” he said. Anderson, the former inspector, said the 30 to 35 sprinkler systems and 10 to 12 Halon systems — a chemical fire retardant gas — are “too many to keep up with.” He said both systems need to be checked twice a year. “It’s more than a one-man program just to keep the extinguishers going,” he said. Anderson said testing the systems is time consuming and may take a couple of hours to test one system. The inspector must turn off the fire alarm, open a test valve and monitor gauges as the water flows through. “It’s really a two- or three-man operation,” he said. Anderson said although an extinguisher has not been inspected for over a year, it probably still will work, but file fire code mandates extinguishers be checked annually. Turn to FIRE, page 14.

State Press ASU police to crack down on illegally parked bikes By KERRY FEHR State Press Bicyclists — immune to the infamous orange car boot — are being targeted as ASU police crack down on illegally parked bikes by weaving spokes with yellow-tagged bike boots. Starting today ASU police will slap $18 tickets on illegally parked bikes, an ASU officer said Monday. Sgt. William Wright said bicyclists will receive warning notices this week, but then will be ticketed if they park anywhere other than in a bike rack. “Let’s just say, if it’s not in a bike rack, it’s not safe,” he said. Wright said the police department is using its manpower increase to monitor bike government’s rejection of a $1 bike registration plan last fall. The registration program would have allowed officers to ticket bicycles without having to impound or boot them because ASU would have been insured of fine payment through the University accounting system. “This is a little more cumbersome. . . but the warnings were never (heeded),” he said. Wright said he expects more violators as the weather warms up and more people bike to school. Associated Students President Chris Cummiskey, who adamantly opposed the bike registration program, said the policy deters students and staff from biking to the parking, and at least two officers will patrol the beat every day. The Arizona Board of Regents gave ASU police permission in January to fine violators for parking or locking their bikes to signs, poles or vegetation. Wright said bikes locked to stationary objects other than a bike rack will be booted with Kryptonite locks. “We hope to have about 100 of (the locks) within a few weeks,” he said. Wright said bikes locked to their own frames — not hitched to anything stationary —will be impounded, held at the ASU police station and returned when the fine is paid and ownership verified. He said impounding or booting illegally parked bikes stems from the student University. Cummiskey said the University should develop a better bike route system, establish a bike policy and provide more bike racks before it starts fining violators. “There are not enough racks to accommodate everyone,” he said. Wright said he does not know how many bike racks are on campus, but the University bought 20 10-slot racks last summer. Wright said about 15,000 to 25,000 people bike to campus. Cummiskey also objected to the price of the tickets. “The prices are way out of line with other PAC 10 schools,” he said. Associated Students report calls for emphasis on teaching _ . ___Life on the aualitvof campus life. than instruction.’’ Although Cummiskey said research is important, he added “in emphasizing research, (the University) loses sight of the quality of instruction. Unfortunately^ it appears some levels of the University have already.” But Regent President Jack Pfister said he disagrees with students’ impressions that too much emphasis is placed on research. “You never can put too much emphasis on research,” he said, adding that the board will consider the students’ concerns. For the past month, Cummiskey said ASASU members have interviewed each college dean, talked to professors and analyzed an annual student survey from the Office of Student By TINA DAUNT State Press ASU should place more emphasis on teaching — not only research — to improve the quality of undergraduate education, an annual report by Associated Students concluded for the second consecutive year. In the report issued Monday, ASASU asked the Arizona Board of Regents to allocate more money to instruction. The report, which is part of the Arizona Students’ Association annual presentation on undergraduate education, will be presented to the regents for review this week. ASASU President Chris Cummiskey said: “It is our impression that professors are rewarded for research rather Life on thequality of campus life. The students’ concerns follow Gov. Evan Mecham’s recent comments that Arizona universities may be devoting too many resources to research at the expense of instruction. According to a report presented to the regents in February , the governor said ASU will spend 54 percent of its 1987-88 budget on instruction and 4.3 percent on research. But Molly Broad, the regents’ executive director, said the diversion of funds to research is in the long-term interest of the universities and students. She said undergraduate instruction continues to be a priority, but research also is important because it attracts outside funds, high technology and better faculty. B U Y A B O X!

W EDNESDAY, MARCH 1 8 ,1 9 8 7 11:30 MU ARIZONA ROOM Page 10 Tuesday, March Student leaders lobby against cuts in federal aid , ByAARYN KEMP State Press Student leaders from universities across the nation lobbied in Washington Monday against student aid . cutbacks in President Reagan’s proposed 1988 federal budget, a member of the U.S. Student Association said. Mary Chris Jaklevic, communications director for the Washington-based student lobbying firm, said about 425 students participated in National Student Lobby Day, part of an annual legislative conference sponsored by USSA. “The purpose of the program was to inform students about current issues in Congress and how they as students can be effective lobbyists,” she said. Jaklevic said Reagan “wants to slash” a variety of student financial aid programs, and students must become involved in the legislative process to stress the importance of student aid. She said the conference began Friday and concluded Monday with a rally emphasizing the students’ request for more educational funding. Approximately 800 people participated in the rally on the steps of Capitol Hill, Jaklevic said. She said the rally’s theme — “Cut Out of the Picture” — was demonstrated in a skit titled “Bedtime for Education.” Actors played President Reagan and Secretary of Education William Bennett, Jaklevic said. The skit concluded with Bennett chasing a student with a I a te ,, 10-foot pair of scissors, symbolizing how the national budget is cutting students out, she said. Jaklevic said workshops were held throughout the weekend to educate student participants on 30 national topics including tax reform, child care and financial aid. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a presidential hopeful, and Caesar Chavez, a migrant farm workers leader, were among the workshop speakers, she said. “The purpose of the workshops were to prepare the students for the lobby day,” Jaklevic said. “It prepares them to discuss the issues intelligently with their Congressmen.” Jaklevic said USSA is concerned with .the shifting emphasis of federal student aid from grants to loans. “The loan program for students right now is very risky,” she said. “There is no set interest rate when you receive your loan, so most needy students are reluctant to get themselves involved in the (loan) situation.” She said USSA believes that loans should be a supplement to grants and other student aid options. “Through our involvement we are trying to dispel the myth that all college students want to do is to achieve yuppieness and earn at least $30,900 a year,” she said. Jaklevic said she hopes Congress will be sympathetic to the needs of higher education and reject Reagan’s proposed cuts. Congress must pass the budget by April 25. “We will probably not get everything we want,” she said. “But by trying, we will have accomplished a lot.” Bonding bill tabled until tuition effects are studied By VICKIE CHACHERE Stfltft Press PHOENIX — A bill that would give the Arizona Board of Regents $200 million in bonding authority for construction projects has been put on hold until the regents can determine if the request will increase tuition, a board official said Monday. Allan Price, the regents’ assistant director for public affairs, said the board is taking a closer look at the request and the construction projects before asking lawmakers to approve the funding. The $200 million had not been earmarked for specific construction projects at ASU, NAU and UA, but would have been used for new buildings over the next five years, Price said. “ It’s a tight revenue year, and we are trying to be real conservative on what we are asking for,” he said. Price said the regents had a “whole laundry list” of construction projects, including a new Life Sciences Building, additions to the Engineering Excellence Center and additions to the Language and Literature Building at ASU. “We don’t know if we want to ask for that authority right now,” he said. “The problem is it’s just a lot of money.” Victor Zafra, ASU vice president for business affairs, said the University’s longrange plans call for $170 million in bonding to pay for construction at the Tempe campus. Price said thé universities’ increased sales of bonds contributes to tuition increases because the universities must raise more local funds to cover interest payments on the bonds. Chris Cummiskey, Associated Students president and an Arizona Students Association member, said during the 1986-87 tuition increase hearings, the three university presidents said a higher tuition increase was needed to cover bonding debts. “If (covering the debt services) is the only reason you are increasing tuition, it is not going to help the institution,” Cummiskey said. Cummiskey said ASA will lobby against the bonding request if lawmakers do away with the ha If-cent sales tax. Gov. Evan Mecham has proposed eliminating the temporary tax, cutting state revenues by about $250 million. The Presidents Council — made up of the three presidents and the regents’ executive director ■ proposed that tuition be increased by $96. The regents later decided to increase tuition by $60.

American flags distributed by Babbitt aides to a crowd of several hundred here all bore the words “Made In Taiwan.” “The only ones you can find to buy are all made in & & m Taiwan,” Babbitt press secretary Mike McCurry said Monday. “This is an indication of the perilous position of U.S. trading.” Aides to the former Arizona governor called “at least a half-dozen places” before settling on the imports at 53 cents each, McCurry said. The cheapest American-made flag was “about seven times that,” he added, saying the campaign treasury couldn’t afford the difference. Parents of ASU Students Why rent when you can own?

Jim McVeigh, spokesman for Good Samaritan Medical Center, said the contest “is not really a beauty pageant. We want a person who can articulate disabled issues to the public.” McVeigh said the winner will educate public groups and businesses about the needs of disabled Arizonans. The pageant, hosted by the Samaritan Rehabilition Institute at Good Samaritan Medical Center and sponsored by Samaritan Home Health Stores, will be at the Phoenix Civic Plaza Grand Ballroom. Valley personalities Heidi Foglesong and Barry Chase will be the mistress and master of ceremonies. Last year’s Ms. Wheelchair Arizona, Ellen Pilcher, also will be on hand to turnover the title. McVeigh said the national pageant was startedJn 1972 by a Virginia doctor of rehabilitation. He said about 20 states have some type of program. McVeigh said Arizona’s program started when Ms. Wheelchair America Donna Kline came to Phoenix in 1985. McVeigh said programs like the beauty pageant help disabled people participate in social activities. “We seem to think the issues of the disabled should be forefront in our society,” he said. “I think the pageant kind of brings the disabled community together.” Beauty pageant participants must be at least 21 years old and have a sponsorship fee of $150. McVeigh said all proceeds will go to Friends of Rehab, an organization that raises money for those in financial need. McVeigh said three criteria are used for judging : •The person’s accomplishments since the onset of their disability. •Communication skills. •Self-perception and projection. McVeigh said the three-day pageant consists of two days of interviews and judging at the Hotel Westcourt. On the third day of the pageant, five finalists are chosen. The winner will go to the national pageant in Minneapolis in August. For ticket information, call 239-4411. B U N D L E ’S LIQUORS & MKT. | 730 S.

Evan Mecham will take his drug plan to the Senate Judiciary Committee today in an attempt to increase penalties for people convicted of drug offenses and funding for law enforcement. Mecham is expected to testify before the committee on the measure, Senate Bill 1083, which also calls for a $7.5 million appropriation from the state’s general fund to be administered by the Criminal Justice Commission. The bill is part of Mecham’s plan to eliminate drug trafficking from Arizona in two years. The legislation was brought before the committee Monday afternoon and hearings will continue this morning. Steve Twist, Arizona’s chief assistant attorney general, said the plan is a response to increased levels of drug abuse in Arizona. Under the plan, violations of most criminal drug statutes would be added to the list of “serious offenses.” Any person convicted of a third serious offense would be sentenced to life in prison and would not be eligible for parole for at least 25 years. The bill mandates that a person convicted of a drug offense while on parole would be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for at least 25 years. The legislation also increases penalties for drug offenses and upgrades some felonies so that those convicted would serve longer sentences. Twist said he believes the legislation is necessary because arrests for sales of drugs in Arizona have increased dramatically during the past few years. He said the numbers of arrests for selling cocaine have doubled since 1980. The Maricopa County Medical Examiners Board reported there were 56 cocainerelated deaths in Maricopa County last year, which is 14 percent more than all cocaine-related deaths from 1980 to 1984. Twist said about 50 percent to 70 percent of the burglaries in the state were committed to finance a drug habit. The bill also imposes harsher penalties for people caught loitering outside elementary and high schools, but maintains the current penalty for loitering on university campuses. Currently, loitering on a university campus is a Class 1 misdemeanor and carries a maximum term of six months in prison. Under Mecham’s plan, loitering outside an elementary or high school is a Class 4 felony, which carries a maximum prison term of four years. Evan M ech am Fraternity sponsors ‘M ock R ock’ to raise funds fo r M DA BySHELLY SCHAFFER State Press The Sigma Pi fraternity is hoping to raise $1,500 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association during its third-annual “Mock Rock” contest Friday night at Palo Verde Beach. House philanthropic co-chairman Will Robbins said all proceeds of the concert, sponsored by KUPD radio, Miller Genuine Draft Beer and Eastern Airlines, will go to MDA. “We are hoping to raise $1,500 for MDA with the $45 band entry fee and fish bowl donations after the costs of the entire production, ’’ he said. Co-chairman Brian Pickett said the fraternity is expecting about 4,000 people “because we have our own sound generator which will triple the amount of sound we had last year. And the stage and lights are much more detailed than last year’s show.” Prizes for the top three bands include Eastern Airline tickets, limousine service, gift certificates and T-shirts. Participants of the 90-member, off-campus Sigma Pi fraternity will act as security for the eight to 10 band lip-sync show, Robbins said. To enter the contest, participants must perform three songs by thé same band and provide costumes and cassette music, Robbins said.

Every area of the University would he prime for enhanced state and private funding, he said. Macpherson, on loan from the state Attorney General’s office to garner legislative support for the Super Collider, said, “I’m in an advocate position. This is a very easy position to advocate. ” Although the DOE has not provided specific financing details, Macpherson said the agency “makes it clear” that tax benefits and favorable legislation must be provided by the chosen state. He added the DOE expects the hundreds of acres required for the project to be donated. “After the state is chosen, it’s either put up dr shut up,” he said. "The state would lose the $100 million or so in construction taxes, but the hundreds of millions in economic benefits and all the jobs it creates make it easily worthwhile.” During the rest of this month, scientific teams will spend $1 million on final ground and rock samples while officials work toward beating the August application deadline. Although the State Legislature will infuse $1 million into the project soon and an additional $1 million is expected from Driggs’ committee, Arizona is behind the $4.5 Illinois has committed and California’s $2.5 million. Illinois also houses the four-mile Fermilab, a smaller version of the Super Collider. Arizona was a finalist for the Fermilab in the mid-1960s. Macpherson said Illinois would be forced to condemn 9,000 parcels of land to build the project. But Arizona’s two sites are uninhabited, desert areas, owned by die Bureau of Land Management and the state. Jacob said the project area could be developed and enhanced for plant workers. It takes 45 minutes to travel from Sky Harbor to the Maricopa site, adding to Arizona’s luster, he said. A recent magazine report said Arizona’s benefits make it a leading candidate for the project. Scientist magazine reported Arizona has a one in six chance of landing the Super Collider. Ten states have already committed funds for the project, the magazine said, and 15 more states may compete for the project. Should Arizona get the Super Collider nod, Jacob said thousands of visiting scientists from arbund the world will converge at the state’s three universities for individual and group studies to decipher the smasher’s mess. Scientists also will use the smasher’s gleaned information for high energy physics and the advancement of superconductivity. Superconductivity is expected to be a main ingredient for future supercomputers, which could be the embodiments of artificial intelligence. Both areas represent the next hurdle for computer technology. “This is very exciting,” Jacob said. “The prospect of succeeding scares me to death’.’ F i r e __________ Continued from page 3. “It might be five years, and it might work . . . but there is no way to be sure,” he said. Smith, a former fire protection specialist in the Air Force, said he is responsible for inspection at ASU adjunct facilities at Alhambra High School, ASU West, Camp Tontozona and the Sundome. He said he has been asking for help since the growth spurt of new buildings in April 1984. He said he first complained about being understaffed to the former Physical Plant director about 18 months ago. Scott Cole, assistant director of the Physical Plant, said he is requesting one additional staff member for the 1988-89 budget. Cole said the deadline for the 1987-88 budget requests has already, passed. “In the interim, we’ve hired student help,” he said, referring to Smith’s current student assistant. Cole said the student, who is expected to graduate, in May, will be replaced with another student next semester. Delbert Overstreet, Physical Plant director, said decentralization of the Physical Plant has caused some of the problems in the past year. “Quite frankly, (Smith) was bounced from pillar to post,” he said. Smith said he receives some help from custodians who check extinguishers each month and report problems to him. He said the Life Sciences and Physical Sciences buildings house the most extinguishers due to the large number of laboratories. Smith said custodians check the extinguisher for proper location, content and any physical damage to the cabinet or the bracket. Smith said although fire codes mandate a thorough check of extinguishers at least-once a year, “we fall behind somewhat.” . He said inspecting each extinguisher usually takes about five minutes and includes checking for corrosion and making sure the extinguisher is hydrotested. He said extinguishers cost between $26 and $30 each and are most frequently vandalized in the residence halls, especially Cholla Residence Hall. Smith said he has 30 extinguishers in stock because it takes at least two months to replace them. But he said the department had to replace about 140 By The Associated Press Carter bound for M ideast seeks news of hostages S 1 L A No D w o n .**’‘*****r I f i^ . - J a * ' A '.A. 1 lJ M S ' BANGOR, Maine — Form er President Jimmy Carter has left for the Middle East on a private trip during which he says he will seek information on hostages being held in Lebanon.

APRIL FOOLS’ AD CONTEST R I N G S ¡¡filiali 9:00-4:00 extinguishers last year within a two- to three-month period. Although the stock was temporarily drained, Smith sai the campus was not in danger because the extinguisher were distributed evenly throughout campus. Anderson said state fire code requires one extinguishe every 3,300 feet. He said the extinguishers are placed more densely tha required—within 75 feet of each other—for convenience. But Smith said both ASU parking garages do not have an: extinguishers because the Physical Plant has not order any. Anderson said the code does “not necessarily require” th parking garages be equipped with extinguishers, but “it is good idea.” He said each level should have about three or fou extinguishers, a total of about 25 for both garages. But Anderson said police could not protect extinguishers i the garage from vandalism. Anderson, who woilto in the ASU police department, sai extinguishers already are the targets of frequent vandalism. “ (Residents) love to shoot (the extinguishers). . . or thro them off the roof,” he said. $ Write a funny m essage or poem to or about your favorite fool for our special April Fools’ classified heading.
