B y VICKIE CHACHERE S tats Press A generally cordial debate between five Democratic presidential hopefuls Thursday night in D allas turned testy when Tennesse Sen. Albert Gore accused Missouri Rep. Richard Gephardt of pandering and “flip-flopping” on the issues. The debate, broadcast live on the College Satellite Network and seen delayed on ASU’s KAET-Channel 8, also brought poverty issues and the strength of the Dem ocratic party to the forefront as candidates prepared for the March 8 “Super Tuesday” prim aries and caucuses in 20 m ostly southern “We’re in the South, let’s talk grits and gravy talk,” the Rev. Jesse Jackson told, the other four candidates. “Let us hot allow Super Tuesday to becom e superficial.” Tension between Gore, who is banking on the Super Tuesday to m ake him the frontrunner, escalated when Gephardt was questioned about his position sw itches on the 1986 Reagan tax reforms. Gephardt, who won the Iowa caucus and placed second in the New Hampshire primary, has at tim es said he w as proud of voting for Die Reagan tax package and at other tim es criticized the adm inistration’s tax policies, saying he voted in favor of the package as a last resort. “Where are you on Reaganomics this week? I’m not sure.” Gore asked Gephardt. Gephardt later retorted to Gore, “When you give a lecture on consistency, maybe you had better look at your own record first.” Gephardt criticized Gore’s defense policies, saying, “Lately you have been sounding more like A1 Haig than A1 Garé.” Gore shot bade, ‘"That line sounds more like Richard Nixon than Richard Gephardt.” H ie field, narrowed by.the departure of former Arizona Gey. Brace Babbitt from the race earlier Thursday, shrunk even m ore when Illinois Sen. Paul Simon declined to appear in the debate. Former Colorado Sen. Gary Hart-urged the other hopefuls to m ove away from special interest groups and address issues important to voters nationwide. “We are seen too much as a special interest party,” Hart said. “If w e had a national agenda that created wealth and distributed it evenly, I think we would win in the South and the West as w ell.” Jackson, who called him self a “graduate of the underclass” because he w as born to a single mother and spent m ost of his childhood in poverty, said he would invest more funds in prenatal care, Headstart and programs for impoverished single women with children. M assachusetts Gov. M ichael Dukakis said he wanted to expand a program providing single mothers with job training and childcare that has been successful in his state to the federal level. “There is no government program under the sun, and there is no budget under the sun that is going to help unless we create good jobs,” Dukakis said.

ARRA cites ASU w ith 9 violations By b e n M cC o n n e l l State Press ASU was cited for nine violations by the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency in 1987 for failing to provide adequate training for workers who handle radioactive m aterial and overstocking and m isplacing radioactive substances. The citations cam e during the ARRA’s annual inspection in November. The University has until this year’s unannounced v isit by the agency to correct the violations. If ASU is found at fault again in 1988 for last year’s violations, it w ill be fined iqp to $8,009. ASU, as required by law, responded in writing to all of the citations. It agreed with inspectors that som e University personnel had ' not been taught how to properly handle radioactive m aterials. Mark Coombs, the assistant director of ASU’s Radiation Protection Office, said this week that the University has been deficient in safety training for som e personnel, but added that professors who u se radioactive m aterials handle them responsibly. “If we’re behind, it’s in the bureaucracy and the training,” Coombs said. But the Univarsity disputed ARRA’s contention that professors bad lost or overstocked labs with radioactive m aterials. In a letter after the 1987 inspection, Ronald E. Barr, assistant vice president for research, told the ARRA that ASU professors have “not lost sources of radioactive m aterial. . . (and) feel that inspectors m ay have confused (a professor) with another licensee.” The letter is part of the state documents concerning the citations. Barr said a physical inventory had been conducted recently and professors did not possess any radioactive m aterials that were not listed properly. The ARRA licenses and annually inspects agencies and private companies that handle radioactive m aterials. It enforces its strict guidelines, which are in concert with rules of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Agency. Arizona’s Radiation Regulatory Agency is accountable to the NRC. Two of the citations ASU received were “security level two” violations, or the failure of a safety system that does not result in the release of radioactivity. The citations are punishable by a $3,000 fine for each reprimand, according to the state’s radiation regulatory rulebook. Two other discrepancies were “security level three” violations, or a record-keeping and documentation level. Level three violations carry a $1,000 fine for each violation. Among the radioactive m aterials the University handles are plutonium, a key ingredient in the manufacturing of atom ic bombs, and Americium and tritium. ASU is not ■ licensed to use the m aterials in the development of explosives or highly flam m able applications. ASU professors use the radioactive m aterials to create neutrons and m utate the atoms of m aterials. Americium is used in a process sim ilar to carbon-14 dating that m easures how old a sam ple is. Coombs said that 50 professors are licensed by his office to use radioactive m aterials on cam pus. ASU’s Radiation Protection Office enforces the guidelines imposed by the state. The radioactivity of most campus m aterials are sm all and would act as a carcinogen only if ingested, Coombs said. Radioactive m aterials are confined to the professorial laboratories of the Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and the Engineering and Technology buildings. Only a handful of students are permitted to work with radioactive m aterials, among those are the students in Professor M ichael McKelvy’s electrical sciences and computer engineering courses.

MICHAEL HOEHN State Press The coordinator of ASU’s Student Legal Services is among three finalists being considered for the position of Tempe Justice of the Peace, and a Maricopa County Supervisor said the new justice could be picked next week. Douglas MacArthur, who is a former attorney for the City o f Tempe, w as selected along with corporate attorney Thomas Glen and Margaret TrujiQo, a court offical for the City of Chandler, to fill the vacant justice post. The three were chosen by a special selection com m ittee which has been m eeting since Tuesday and m ade its recom m endations to county supervisors Tom Freestone and Ed Pastor on Thursday afternoon. “We started with 22 applicants,” said Grant Woods, chairman o f the s e c tio n com m ittee. “We got down to a field of eight and based on the interviews we conducted, we selected three.” Woods said MacArthur has been the legal services coordinator since 1978 and has been a Tempe resident for 25 years. MacArthur was out of his office Thursday and could not be reached for comment. Glenn is an attorney and senior contract manager for AUied-Signal Aerospace Company and has been a Tempe resident for four years. Trujillo is court services manager for the Chandler Municipal Court. TrujjUo is a Chandler resident, but said she would definitely move to Tempe if appointed to the justice post. “It’sacareerm oveform e,” shesaid. “I’m very anxiously awaiting a decision.” Pastor said he and Freestone w ill now m eet and consider the com m ittee’s recommendations and conduct interview s with the candidates if necessary. “Well, I im agine we’ll be a couple of days, receiving calls and input,” Pastor said. Pastor said he hopes to m eet with Freestone as early as Friday and decide on one candidate to nominate to the entire board of supervisors. The board is scheduled to m eet Monday and Wednesday nights and Pastor said it is possible a nomination could be made in tim e to be considered at the Monday night m eeting. While the new justice w as not expected to be selected until the middle of March, Pastor said he expects a nomination within days. He said the vacancy could be filled by the middle of next week. The justice of the peace post becam e vacant after Justice Fred Ackel resigned Jan. 27 rather than face a hearing into charges of sexual harassment. The person selected to fill the vacancy woiild com plete Ackel’s term , which expires in 1991. A temporary justice, Mike Jones, is filling the post until a permanent justice can be selected. State Press w orld/nation in b rie f Communist Party drops past boss; plans economic, personnel reforms MOSCOW (AP) — Communist Party leaders Thursday dropped Boris N. Y eltsin, the outspoken former Moscow party boss, from the ruling Politburo and promoted officials charged with reforming economic planning and party personnel. In a wide-ranging address to about 300 members of the policy-m aking Central Committee, party leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev said the Soviet Union faces a “m ost serious financial problem ,” and he called for “free competition of m inds” under his policy of greater openness. Gorbachev also said the Central Committee should devote a future session to the problems of the more than 100 nationalities that populate the Soviet Union. Ethnic groups in the Baltic states and elsewhere have been agitating in recent months for greater autonomy or outright independence. Israel im poses new restrictions in a ttem p t to end v io len t riots JERUSALEM (AP) —>Israel imposed new financial rules on the occupied lands Thursday in response to an Arab econom ic boycott, and Prim e M inister Yitzhak Shamir said he would not trade concessions for an end to 10 weeks of riots. “Those who incite and resort to violence should not com e away with any reward,” Shamir declared. Arrests were reported Thursday but no casualties in confrontations between soldiers and protesters in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, where U.N. officials, say 55 Arabs have been killed in the violence that began D ec. 8. News photographers said they saw a Jewish settler fire shots into the air at the Dheishe refugee camp to disperse stone-throwing young Palestinians, and protests were reported in Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem. K ennedy becom es ju n io r justice; restores C ourt m em bership to 9 WASHINGTON (AP) - Anthony McLeod Kennedy was sworn in as the nation’s 104th Supreme Court justice today, bringing a crucial tie-breaking vote to a court hampered by a vacancy the past eight months. With a hand on his fam ily Bible, Kennedy promised during a brief ceremony to. “do equal right to toe poor and to the rich.” He then was seated at the high court bench, at the place traditionally reserved for toe junior justice. President Reagan, who appointed Kennedy, did not attend the courtroom ceremony but Attorney General Edwin M eese III presented Kennedy’s commission of office to the justices. None of the three former court members still living attended the ceremony. Justice Lewis F. Powell, who Kennedy succeeds, and Chief Justice Warren E. Burger w ere in Florida. Former Justice Arthur Goldberg, whose w ife died Saturday, also did not attend. “I’ve been working. I’m ready for Monday,” when the court ends its current recess, Kennedy said while posing for cam eras outside the court building prior to his swearing-in.

Page 3 FrtdafcFebruar^^988 State Press Babbitt ends presidential quest after poor beginnings By VICKIE CHACHERE State Press Bruce Babbitt form ally abandoned his 1988 bid for the presidency Thursday in a Washington press conference, calling his two-year campaign “the greatest joy of my public life.” “This campaign has turned on truth-telling and candor,” Babbitt said. “I’ll never forget the people in audience after audience who stood up out of their chair to join me in a demonstration of belief for the politics of truth.” Babbitt pulled out of the race after poor showings in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. Waning campaign contributions and little media attention forced Babbitt from the race, campaign aides said. Babbitt, displaying the humor that made him a media favorite, told reporters that a friend said to him once the decision to leave the race w as made, “You fought a good fight; you were in it right up to the beginning.” But Babbitt pledged that his call for “an America that com es to grips with its future” be continued by the six other Democrats left in the race for the nomination. The campaign has been built around the need for a 5-cent national sales tax to help offset the federal deficit. Babbitt also called for “work-place” dem ocracy, which included profit sharing programs for industry em ployees, and a national day-care program. Babbitt said asking voters to consider both a “new m essenger and a challenging and different m essage,” proved to be too much for his campaign. Polls taken last fall indicated that only 2 percent of the voters recognized Babbitt’s name. Also Thursday, Former Delaware Gov. P ete du Pont abandoned his GOP presidential bid, saying, “Today our campaign lowers its flag, but our crusade continues to m arch.” Du Pont becomes the second Republican to quit the race, following the withdrawal of former Secretary of State Alexander Haig last Friday. Babbitt leaves the race about $300,000 in debt, said Vada Manager, one of Babbitt’s deputy press secretaries. The Phoenix national headquarters, located in the Town and Country shopping center on Camelback Road, w ill remain open for another month and then m ove to sm aller offices near the Arizona Biltmore. The campaign, which was officially launched March 10, began alm ost two years ago when Babbitt participated in a cross-Iowa bicycle race. His unusual style of campaigning included a skit on NBC’s “Saturday Night L ive,” clim bing New Hampshire’s Mount Washington and bowling with his fam ily instead of stumping for votes in the final hours before the Iowa caucuses. Saturday, a rally welcoming Babbitt home to Phoenix will be held at the Town and Country office at 4:30 p.m ., Manager said. Herman Chanen, a key Babbitt fundraiser who was appointed to the Arizona Board of Regents by Babbitt, said, “I think he has come a long way. “I think he feels good about it. He com es out of this whole process with his head held very high and with a lot of respect.” Speculation has surfaced that Babbitt may be a possible vice presidential choice or a possible cabinet post should a Democrat be elected. But hours before his loss in the Iowa caucuses, Babbitt said he would not settle for anything less than the presidency. Thursday, he declined to say if he would run again in 1992, only adding, “I can’t say I’d rush to do it again, but I m ight.” The Associated P ress contributed to this report. R e g e n t s d e c i d e if A S U w ill g e t f u n d i n g f o r n a t u r a l g a s p r o g r a m By SCOTT LUCK State Prase The Arizona Board of Regents w ill vote today during its Tucson m eeting on whether ASU w ill receive funding to become the first U.S. university to implement a major com pressed natural gas (CNG) use program. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) received a $400,000 state grant to study how alternate-fuel use affects their vehicles, ADOT Executive Assistant Director Ray E llis said Thursday. ADOT is currently testing five such fuels but does not have the ability to concurrently convert vehicles for a major CNG program, E llis said. E llis said that ASU w as chosen as a prospective alternative state agency because its vehicles are driven locally rather than statewide, making them more conducive to a CNG study. If the funds transfer is approved, ASU w ill become the state’s representative agency for a federally mandated and legislatively supported alternative-fuels program. According to E llis, CNG industry officials said that ASU would become the first university in the United States to implement a major CNG program. The proposed funding-transfer would include $100,000 for the installation of a campus CNG compressor station and $198,000 for the conversion of ASU vehicles to utilize the alternate fuel, Assistant Vice President of Business Affairs Jennus Burton said Thursday. Physical Plant acting Assistant Director Jerry Grence said approximately 100 ASU vehicles w ill be converted if the m easure is approved. He added that vehicle conversion is a sim ple process that takes only a day, so ASU would not suffer a shortage of vehicles. Grence said July 1 has been targeted as the start-up date for the proposed program. Vice President of Business Affairs Victor Zafra said the program is not really an experiment. “It’s not even a pilot program anymore, because other agencies have put it to use,” Zafra said. E llis agreed that the program is no longer in the test stages because positive benefits have already been determined from previous studies. Grence said, “It’s safer to drive with CNG than conventional gas” because it is not as explosive. Zafra’s report to the regents, compiled from Grence’s research, said that the City of Scottsdale has implented an extensive CNG program for the past five years. Results of the program include the discovery that vehicle engines have a two- to three-year longer running-life, greater fuel efficiency (15 to 20 percent), and the city’s air quality has improved. “Obviously the benefits to the community and the Valley as a whole is the improved air quality such a program will provide,” E llis said. Because of all of the benefits the program can provide, Zafra said ASU is playing the role of the “good citizen” for its participation. Zafra listed no disadvantages if the board approves the project, but if the regents disapprove, the program w ill have to undergo major revisions at “considerable expense.” In other business, the regents w ill: . •D iscuss Sun Devil Stadium skybox lease details. •Consider authorizing the establishm ent of a center of officeautomation research in the College of Business. •Consider approval of the upgrading of ASU Head Football Coach Larry Marmie’s annual contract to $155,000 from his $68,005 salary as assistant coach.

As the conflict in the middle east between Israelis and Palestinians on the Gaza strip continues to fester, ASU is beginning to w itness a trickle-down disturbance of its own between students with allegiances on either side of the dispute. And while it is m y fondest hope that we can all prove true to the purposes and ideals of a university and discuss the m atter in a rational, intelligent manner, there is reason for pessim ism . Why? Because the feedback we have been getting here at the State Press to our suggestion that the two sides sit down and discuss and debate — with ourselves or any party of their choice as m ediators — has been largely disturbing, depressing, and reflective of rapant paranoia and ignorance of basic journalistic practices. It all started in front of the MU last Friday, when several sta ffe r s atten d ed a p ro -P a lestin ia n r a lly , w here demonstrators carried anti-Israeli signs and chanted such things as “Death to Israel.” A spirited exchange between demonstrators and Jewish students followed, and concern was raised in the minds of State P ress editorial board members at the scene that this was an atmosphere that could easily erupt into violence. Thus the editorial of Feb. 17, urging both sides to discuss the issue peacefully. But the response, from some Palestinian students, has been to call, write, or speak to me personally, blasting the State Press for a “pro-Israeli” bias, acusing us of behaving like “detectives” for asking questions of the demonstrators, and — get this — making the statem ent that one of our editorial staffers is an agent of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence bureau. They have also publically accused this publication of “censorship” of past pro-Palestinian letters, saying that we have altered the meaning of their correspondence and changed “headlines and titles” they have enclosed with their letters. How ironic, considering we have been accused within the last month of sim ilar offenses by Jewish groups on campus. Our staffers ask questions of demonstrators — be they black, white, purple or Palestinian — because it is important to have such facts as who, what, when, where, why and how in a news story. They are not interrogating. They are performing the job that they are paid for and that demonstrators, by appearing on the m alls, evidently want them to do — dissem inate inform ation about the demonstration. We do occasionaly edit som e letters for length, being very careful to not change the meaning of the letter. We strive to strike an ideological balance in our lim ited space with the kind of letters we print, and we take great pains to carefully present the viewpoint of the writer. And as for the charge I find m ost humorous, that there is a spy in our m idst — Israeli intelligence has better things to do than spend thousands of dollars training an agent to infiltrate a college publication half a world away. And I haven’t seen any of our staffers wearing trenchcoats or talking into their shoe lately . What is of concern is that the kind of wild speculation and meaningless rhetoric em anating from som e Palestinian — and Jewish — students w ill overshadow the genuine desire of others to rationally discuss the issue. We have received a letter from two Arab students agreeing to debate with a particular Jew ish student — albeit under lim ited conditions — and we w ill be passing that letter on. But it is disheartening to note that the vast majority of vocal Palestinian students are more interested in scream ing than talking.' The conflict tearing the middle east apart is complex, and I do not suppose to fully understand the problem or propose comprehensive solutions to it. My concern is sim ply that we at ASU do what we ought to be doing — and that is to serve as a model, a place where volatile, labyrinthian problems can be discussed, and where the seed of an agreem ent can be sown. For those who are willing to do this, I wish you well. But for those who are net, consider this: The State Press opinion page w ill continue to be a forum for all points of view. And we are alw ays w illing to talk about your concerns and complaints. But tim e and newspaper space is too short to squander it on name-calling and ridiculous accusations. Let’s get to the debate. letters Hazing is a disease Editor: The m ost puzzling thing about Suzanne W eschler’s Feb. 12 editorial is she wrote something she knows little about — the Greek system and Phi Gamma Delta. Miss W eschler was correct in stating that fraternities today are not like they w ere in the 1950s. Many of the things that her high school history teacher told her were innocent acts that, given 20 or 30 years, became quite em bellished. She feels that the F U Is were inhumane by not stopping these hazing activities >any sooner. What she fails to realize, though, is like alcoholism , hazing is a disease. A disease that grows on you until (me morning you wake up and realize that it must stop! Curing this disease was not an overnight process. It took alm ost a year. We realize how “inhumane” it must be to suspend the membership of individuals who used drugs and sold them to others. We realize how “inhumane” it m ust be to suspend the membership of individuals that participated in the majority of hazing activities. We also realize how “inhumane ” it must be to suspend the membership of individuals th at b la ta n tly d estro y ed U n iv ersity property. Incidently, these reforms took place a p p roxim ately six m onths prior to University sanctions. This is precisely why the University could not “snuff us out,” because they realized we had cleaned up our act. What they could do, though, is remove a potential liability by evicting us from campus housing. Also, Miss Weschler is correct in saying that one does not have to join a fraternity in order to make friends. One also doesn’t have to join fraternities for their high level of campus involvement, leadership, community service, intramural athletics, and yes, ¿-eat parties. If one chooses to join a fraternity, he will have this and much more. Miss Weschler also seem s to feel that a fraternal experience deprives one of his individuality. She couldn’t be farther from the truth. Upon entering the houses of many ASU fraternities, you will m eet individuals of different income levels, races and religious beliefs who, as a “unit,” donate countless hours of social service work and provide the m ajority of undergraduate leadership on this campus. If the FIJIs and other ASU fraternities ceased to exist, the U niversity would lose much more than som e tuition and a few parental gratuities. Rather, the University would lose much of its undergraduate leadership and a large sum of monetary contributions from fraternal alumni. By the way, Suzanne, the F U I ethic is not one of m istreatm ent of human beings. Instead, it is one of perseverance, friendship and devotion to others. In the future we would appreciate that you get all your facts straight before you becom e so opinionated.

And how are your glow-in-thedark, windup, life-size plastic front-lawn Nativity scenes going? “They did well during the Christmas season, thank you.” And your personally blessed holy teething rings, guaranteed to ease the distress of infancy? “They are a steady seller, despite the sinful efforts of fam ily planners to shrink my m arket.” And how ’s th e dem and for your miraculous oil, which w ill cure aches, pains, m iseries, as well as financial and domestic worries? “Splendid, especially since we began pointing out that if sim m ered with a touch of garlic, it also m akes an excellent blessed pasta sauce.” All things considered, I have to concede that you are a businessman. “And I would remind you that I am also a religious broadcaster, a title I also prefer.” Y es, I’ve watched your “Hallelujah Happy Hour.” Does any other clergym an broadcast live from a sports theme bar? “No, I was the first to recognize and fill that spiritual void.” I’ve noticed that many members of your congregation now speak in tongues. “A few, but I must admit that som e of it is the result of the happy hour.” W ell, I’ve been im pressed by the miraculous cures you’ve performed sim ply by laying hands on them. I’ve seen people who had been suffering terribly throw aside their crutches and canes and shout “hallelujah,” because you cured them of tennis elbows, inflam ed rotator cuffs, jammed softball thumbs, jogger’s shin splints, athlete’s foot and jock itch. “Did you happen to see the football player I cured of agonizing turf toe?” Y es, but I was even more stunned by the poor wretch who said that for 30 years, despite seeking help from countless experts, he was still plagued by a chronic, incurable slice. But after you laid hands on his golf bag, he has been hitting the ball straight and long. “Most people don’t realize that the slice is THTE \ ITfXT-JANFOP /VOfPIRLl'S m / the work of Satan. By the way; I’m planning an in str u c tio n a l ta p e sh ow in g the relationship between praying and oneputting.” That should be a winner. But I still don’t understand why you no longer want to be thought of as a TV preacher. “Unfortunately, it has taken on certain negative connotations in recent years.” Because of the fuss about Jim m y and Tammy and Oral and some of the others? “Yes. And those in the media, most of whom are agents of the Beast, would tar me with the sam e brush.” But you’ve built your considerable reputation through your spiritual powers. You’ve had so many triumphs. Don’t you remember the great stir it caused when you prayed that giant killer bees would not invade Chicago and, sure enough, there wasn’t a killer bee in sight? ‘‘And I would remind you that there hasn’t been one around here since.” Nor before. And remember when you prayed that the ice cap at the North Pole would not m elt and cause terrible flooding in North America, and it didn’t? Or when you prayed that we wouldn’t be pelted by hailstones the size of bowling balls, and we weren’t? Or the tim e the skies became terribly dark at midnight and you prayed that there should be light? And doggone if the sun wasn’t shining brightly at 7 a.m .! “I do what I can. It is a g ift.” Then I don’t understand why you resent being called a TV preacher. U n less. . . say, you aren’t thinking of running for president, are you? “The thought has crossed my mind. I’ve considered turning my executive skills to returning this country to traditional moral values, bringing prayer back in the schools, the shopping m alls and all public elevators, as well as defeating the godless Commies. Were you aware that the Soviet Union is only a few m iles from our Alaskan shores?” Yes, it’s on all the maps. “That just shows how weak and careless w e’ve become. And have you seen how our dollar has been shrinking?” What would you do about that? “I would have all our currency printed on a blend of paper and polyester.” Obviously, you’ve already thought out many of the issues. What would you do about our rela tio n sh ip w ith South A frica regarding racial apartheid? “An unfortunate situation. I would urge all African blacks to bleach them selves w hite.” Would you negotiate with Gorbachev? “Yes, if he agrees to be a born-again Christian, joins the Republican Party and makes English their official language. I’m flexible. Now I’m off to New Hampshire. Aren’t you a little late? “Not at all. If I get three write-in votes, the networks could declare me the front­ runner.” Our large pizza is 16” large . . is theirs? ■ free WDEUVERY 829-1717 ÏRtUSl KPA OWNERSAm A Mfr I'Cl'i $1.00 SCHNAPPS A L L N IG H T!! ■ w ponr openÄ tonai C O M E E N JO Y O U R O U T D O O R P A T IO FRIDA Y H A P P Y H O U R FREE FO O D 4 -8 P M T em pe; 9 3 3 E .

A Tempe firefighter who battled the blaze w as injured when he fell eight feet from a ladder. Firefighter J.D . Smith, a 15-year veteran of the department, suffered minor bruises and w as taken to Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital where he was treated and released. Four engines and two ladder trucks worked the first alarm blaze at the com plex owned by Mark Development at Guadelupe and Hardy Roads,.said Assistant Chief Jim Gaintner. “It was a pretty large com plex,” Gaintner said. “The part that burned w as a ll wood fram e and it burned right to the ground.” Firefighters got the call at 11:01 p.m . and arrived on the scene four minutes later. The blaze was under control by 11:22 p.m ., Gaintner said. In other incidents: •An ASU student was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly hijacked an electric cart and crashed it, police said. Nicholas P . Humphries was booked into Maricopa County Jail in Mesa and charged with unlawful use of a m eans of transportation and crim inal damage. Humphries was arrested at the 706 Alpha Drive shortly after the incident occurred at Sun Angel Stadium about 4:41 p.m ., police said. Police said Humphries and two other men, who police are still searching for, allegedly hijacked the EZ-Go cart and got into an accident. Dam age to the cart is estim ated at $95. •The woman driving the car in which ASU President J. Russell Nelson’s mother-in-law was killed Tuesday has been cited for the accident, police said. Lorraine Clem, 74, of California, was charged with failure to yield right of way turning left at an intersection, said Officer Roger Austin, a Tempe police spokesman. Edith Casey, 86,2401S. College A ve., died at Scottsdale Memorial Hospital after the accident at Broadway Road and College Avenue. 1. The only possibility of widespread contam ination occurring on campus is if someone were to jackhammer open a drywell radiator, remove its soup-can-size radioactive container and hold it near people, Coombs said. The radiator machine is about the size of soda machine. It contains a m ini-elevator that lowers m aterial to be radiated by the existing radioactive m aterial. In its 1987 inspection report, ARRA cited microbiology Professor Bertram Jacobs’s deficient inventory and feared that som e radioactive m aterials “m ay be lost as they have in the past.” In his letter, Barr said that Jacobs did not lose radioactive m aterials and that ARRA “may have confused Dr. Jacobs with another licensee.” Another professor, John Holloway in the chemistry department, was cited for having a radioactive inventory that exceeded his authorization. Holloway said Thursday that he had asked ASU’s Radiation Protection Office to remove his outdated m aterials prior to ARRA’s inspection, adding that new equipment in the department made the necessity of radioactive m aterials obsolete. The University removed all of the radioactive m aterials after the ARRA citation. In a letter dated Nov. 24 to Coombs, the ARRA said several ASU professors did not receive required training nor did security personnel. The ARRA also expressed its concern that “radioactive ÏÉMPE BOWL' ASU Special!! 9 p.m.-12 midnight Mon.-Thurs. $1.50 p er gam e Paradise Pizza Daytime Special 12 noon-6 p.m. Mon.-Fri. 754 p er gam e 9 1100 E.

(and) the agency is concerned that the users of radioactive m aterial are not following the guidelines identified in the Radiation Safety Manual.” The manual is ASU’s rulebook for professors to follow in handling and logging radioactive m aterials. William Wright, the ARRA official who inspected ASU in 1987, said receiving any citation should be a concern, but that the University’s protection program is “far better than it used to be.” Prior to Coombs’ arrival and the creation of the Radiation Protection Office, a faculty m ember usually w as responsible for monitoring radioactive m aterials on a part-time basis. That “lack of direction” got the U niversity fined $1,300 in 1985 but was suspended after ASU hired Coomb® and committed itself to improved radiation, safety, Wright said. Coomb®, who im plem ented a radioactive m aterial inventory system when he started at the U niversity, said that som e m aterials left in professors’ labs from years past would not appear on record-keeping lists because old regulations did not require it. — But new, stringent regulations are im plem ented every few years by the NRC and Arizona, and som e professors have been caught off-guard, he said. Security level one is the failure of system s that allow the release of radioactivity or the making fradulent statements to investigators. The U niversity w as not cited for any level one violations. $ 2 .0 0 O FF A N Y coco ™ L A R G E P IZ Z A (with this coupon) S t it t Press Page 7 Friday, February 19,1988 Author discusses Chinese culture, performs at ASU By KELLY PEARCE State Pfm s Mark Salzman, author of “Iron and Silk,” w ill discuss the m odem Chinese culture and perform Wushu, the dance-like Chinese m artial art, in the MU Arizona Room at noon today.

By DAVE MILLER State Press In the film “ M oonstruck,” Ronnie (N icolas Cage) raises his artificial hand to Loretta (Cher) and scream s, “I’m no monument to justice!” He swings it down, picks up his coal shovel and goes back to work — scooping, thrusting, ignoring her to death. She w aits, unsure if he’s going to speak again She has come to invite him to the ART: • “ Thomas Cole and The Course of the Em pire” will be the subject of Pro­ fessor David C .

He’s not interested. Later he w ill be, after he becom es a wolf. Later he’ll take her into his bed, despite the fact they’re alm ost kin. He’ll whip up a conjugal m ess with a fury. Which makes “Ronnie” an antithesis of sorts to the work of actor N icolas Cage. At age 24 he’s alreadyAplayed an illmannered teen headed for war (“Racing with the Moon” ), a sometime-convenience store bandit (“Raising Arizona”) and a mixed-up husband sent back from the future (“Peggy Sue Got Married” ). But he’s never played anyone with Ronnie’s intensity: It’s b is most notable, perhaps most interesting part. But when asked if it’s his favbrite, he prefers the hick-husband. “ ‘P eggy Sue Got Married’ ’s Charlie Bodell was my finest perform ance,” Cage said in a phone interview. “It w as the most creatively satisfying thing I’ve ever done.” Creativity, as it turns out, m eans more to him than increasing his take-home earning per picture, or even sharing the screen with Cher. That factor decides projects for him. “I had a lot to do with the creation of that character (Charlie B odell),” he said. “It felt good to see it realized. “Most, of m y performances I only get about 10 percent mental im age of what I thought it would be onto the screen, but with Charlie Bodell I got about 80 percent.” Cage didn’t know he would have that kind of freedom with “Peggy Sue Got M arried,” in which he played Kathleen Turner’s deja vu-ing spouse, at least not at first. Initially he wanted nothing to do with it. “Francis (Ford Coppola, director) had wanted m e to do the project,” Cage said, “He asked m e to do that character about nine tim es, and I kept saying ‘no’ because I didn’t want to play that boring romantic lead. “Finally I carnè up with an angle on it and I said I’d do it, and he said ‘Well, what is it?’ and I said I want to try something different, MUSIC AND NIGHTLIFE: •T h e following clubs will host bands this weekend: •C huy’s: Azz Izz tonight from 6 to 10, The Bonedaddys also tonight from 10:30 to 2:30, Shadow Talk Saturday night from 9 to 10:45, The X-Streams Saturday from 11 p.m , to 2:30 a.m . and Tambora W est Sunday from 9 p.m . to 1 a.m . •Long W ong’s: Chico Chism and the Chiztones tonight and Saturday and the No Hobo Band on Sunday. •T o n y’s New Yorker: The No Hobo Band tonight and Saturday and House o f Blue Lights on Sunday. •A nderson’s Fifth Estate: Al Stewart Sunday at 5 and 8 p.m. with comedian M ark Cortes. •T h e Sun Club: Chuck Hall and the Brick W all tonight and Saturday and Hans Olson and the Sun House Band Sunday.

Fcbruaiy 19.1988 Spring break ’88 Vacationing on the Arizona road: more’s the festivity By LAURIE SMITH S tateP rees It was a ghostly 4 a.m . on old Highway 666, and jackrabbits threw them selves like kam ikazes in front of m y car. The (hist from the tired back road swirled like blood in the red glow of m y fleeing taO igits. Eeriness breathed on the back of m y neck as my companion voiced his fear of a man standing like death in the middle of the road. All that just for a warm cup of coffee. Crazy m om ents lik # that are commonplace when you decide to test the creaks and crevices of Arizona backroads. If you are looking for adventure, though, th is is the only way to travel. As a veteran of the “hidden” roads of Arizona, I can honestly say the opportunites for rewarding and inexpensive travel abound. Whether you are a true nature- lover who dreams of challenging hikes up desert mountains or someone who just wants to escape from the traffic and stress of the city, you w ill not be disappointed. Arizona is full of mysterious towns that seem to grow out of the desert and then disappear into history, th e country can change from rocks and saguaros to towering mountains and soft green grass in minutes, and you can never be certain of what awáits you around the next corner. If you are planning to escape the valley this spring break but either can’t afford a trip to the beach or sim ply want to disappear into wilderness and history, Arizona and a good “back roads” guide are all you need. The book w ill be the key to unheard of places such as Skull Valley and Why. Skull Valley sounds threatening but w as actually A rustic general store em its th e flavor o f Pearce, Az. q u ite frien d ly . W hy, I found, w as appropriately named. Why anyone would live there is a frequently asked question. If you head north on the Beeline Highway, you can eat strawberry shortcake in Strawberry or camp along the Mogollon Rim. If you head south, you can see a hundred m iles of God’s country from Montezuma P ass in the Huachuca Mountains and later picnic on a hill looking over the Mexican border onto yellow prairie land and hills rolling lazily toward striking mountains. You’ll see towns straight out of the wildw est days and country that w ill sweep you away into an untouched and mysterious land. Travel deep into Papago Indian territory and discover prim itive villages left over from a distant tim e. Take a long drive into Navajo country and hike down into the historic Canyon de Chelley. All it takes is an open mind and a good map. Open mind could be translated as insanity, but it all depends on your point of view. ■ Consider m y night on 666. Now some people may call that crazy; and believe me, some people have. But that night was only a bizarre interlude during an unforgettable weekend. We had seen Tombstone, “the town too tough to die,” and Bisbee, “ the town too high to care.” Ghost towns like Gleeson, population 21 and the hom e of John and Sandy’s Rattlesnake Crafts, and Pearce, which consisted of a general store and a post office, decorated the winding dirt roads we traveled. We had heard of a stagecoach ruin hidden behind the Dragoon Mountains and we visited the-ghOsts of murderers and pioneers Photo by Brett Gobte Bear bottles play frien d ly hosts to Gleason, Az. visitors. there. That night we cam ped in the strange Chiricahua Mountains and woke freezing at 3 a.m . We had thought we could make it through the night with a bottle of wine and a blanket to sleep on. We soon discovered that we w ere not as tough as w e had thought and gave in to the cold, got back in the car and headed for the nearest Denny’s and a cup of coffee. The roads that had offered incredible scenery and relaxation the day before soon turned into a trip into a black and very unnerving experience. We did survive, however, and were rewarded with a satisfying breakfast in Safford at 6 a.m . Then, desperately needing a place to rest and recuperate from the night before, we headed down into the Aravaipa Canyon just outside of Safford. Although w e needed special permission to go into the actual canyon, a designated widlife preserve, w e found salvation next to a sm all creek just inside the canyon w alls. It was as close to paradise as man can come, offering a serenity unlike anything I had ever experienced. We had found a perfect way to end our weekend and a beautiful setting in which to dream of future adventures.

Actually, that’s not com pletely accurate of Atlantic’s latest release, “A Tiger’s Tale'.” There are no lions, but there is a tiger (as indicated by the title), and Ann-Margret does go bare. Oh, my! A lsostarriog is C. Thomas Howell, best known for his roles in “The Outsiders,” “Soul Man" and “Secret Admirer.” Howell’s characters alw ays seem to -b e love-struck teenagers« and while this film is no exception, there is a twist on the approach — a twist which sets this m ovie above the reSt. . k f l y . '/ YY :Y. Howell plays Bubber Drum, a rebellious 19-year-old high ffphont student in the throes of constant hormonal attack. th e object of his desires is the voluptuous but nearpsychotically high-strung Shirley Butts (these nam es!) Shirley, who seem s to be a raging nymphomaniac, is not reaUy interested in sex or in Bubber, for that m atter. Her sole desire is to enact a moment of passion in a place she is sure to be caught —- like right outside her home, for instance. This rather extrem e ploy of attention-getting leads to Bobber’s em barrassing m eeting with Shirley’s mother, Mrs. Rose Butts (Ann-Margret). Awkward situations aside, Bubber is im m ediately sm itten by this beautiful, mature and worldly woman, and he invites her to com e over to his place and w atch him w restle his pet tiger. Who could resist? Rose Butts could —- and does. Bubber proceeds with the festivities anyway, only to get his leg mauled by his overly playfid feU b e.. Bubber goes to the hospital for stitches and coincidentally run« into Mrs. Butts, who happens to be a nurse there. Bubber falls deeply in love, but Rose dism isses his affections as an adolescent phase. Nevertheless, Bubber persists in his courting, and Rose, who was deserted by her husband, begins to see the lonely void in her life, which has been m agnified by the contrast of Bubber’s youthful, lust-inspired enthusiasm. Hose begins to see her suitor in a different light and is flattered by his desire for her. But when Shirley happens upon her mother and Bubber sitting (relatively) innocently together, tem pers, cruel words and a great many heavy objects begin, to fly.

If your birthday is between Feb. 19 and March 20, this is your astrological sign. Having the horoscope picture of two opposing fish with interlocking fins, the P isces person lodes partly to the future, in a m ystic way, yet is constantly drawn to toe security of the past. Sydney Omarr, syndicated astrologist in over 300 newspapers, believes two key words for describing a P isces are sen sitive and aware. When dealing with sensitivity, your compassion for people is indescribable, Omarr has said in his literature. People trust your judgment, because you project a sense of caring. You feel what they feel and often try to place yourself and your feelings in tune with those who are less fortunate than yourself. Sometimes you forget about yourself. It hi said because of your sensitivity, jobs relating to m edicine and psychology would be perfect for Piscean individuals. “You tend to overlook flaw s,” Omarr said. “Butyou can be your worst critic. ’’ This is because people born undo: the sign of P isces seem to lack self-confidence. Barbara Shook Hazen, author of the book “You and Your Lucky Stars” wrote “Even when you (P isces) have You often adapt to your loved one’s style because everything going for you, you tend to look on the dark side “togetherness” is sacred for your own stability. (This is where toe connecting fins of the fish fit in your personality.) and feel that the good can’t possibly last.” You are quite seclusive when it com es to the way you think P isces’ wprst trait, although som e don’t see it negatively, and feel. As Omarr said, “You must learn this lesson: being is jealousy. You need constant reassurance from a loved one alone is not the sam e as being lonely.” and seem moody when you are unsure of h love situation. Secrecy is sacred to you, P isces, but hiding feelings While the P isces fem ale appears .tim id with love,- foe through excessive use of drugs and alcohol is not the answer. P isces m ale is extrem em y emotional and not afraid to show People DO care about you and, believe it or not, they w ill it. However, where both sexes are concerned, Omarr said, listen and, better yet, understand. “Actions m ay be stronger than words, and romantic gestures On a more positive side, “ You are aware — to a m ean more (to a Pisces)-.” remarkable degree,” Omarr said. “Some people claim that P isces, you are creative, You express yourself through you are positively psychic. ” Perhaps the word needed here is writing, acting» designing and im agination. You find your intuition. deepest strengths through your hidden love for creativity. Where romance is concerned, P isces is a dreamer. “You Omarr sum s up toe P isces personality: ‘‘You know where tend to rom anticize and are then disillusioned when the one you are, who you are, where you’re going — and that you you care about turns out to be less than perfect, Hazen said. know you CAN and WILL achieve your potential and reach But when you find Jove, you are m ost receptive and . your destination.” sentim ental to m emories.

Baseball team begins Slx-Pac against UCLA The second-ranked ASU baseball team heads west this weekend to open this season’s conference schedule at UCLA.

A SU won two straight from UCLA in the W est II Regional at Packard Stadium by scóres of 9-3 and 14-4. O ly m p ic c a le n d a r THURSDAY By DEAN GYORGY State Press Collegiate softball is not a high profile sport. No live coverage, no multitudes of scream ing fans. But the “human drama of athletic competition’’ is there, and the Sun Devil program is a winning one. ASU is ranked 10th in the nation by the pre-season polls. Last year, coach Mary Littlewood’s club compiled a record of 41-15 and finished seventh in the national tournament in Omaha, Neb. The team currently stands at 2-2, after spiiting a doubleheader with 15th-ranked California on Wednesday night, and is in Tucson this weekend for the annual Arizona Invitational. The team Littlewood takes south is “very different” from the one she coached last year, and she said she feels fairly optim istic about returning to the nationals. But there is a sore spot. “If we have a weakness this year, I think it’s thé pitching,” Littlewood said. “If we have to rely, on only one pitcher, especially in tournam ent play and conference doubleheaders, it’s going to be tough.” That one pitcher is junior Donna Stewart. Last season she went 24-7 with a 1.07 ERA, and should be equally dominating this year. She saw action in both gam es with California, coming to the rescue of other ineffective starters. “It’s not like baseball,” Littlewood said, “where they can only throw so many innings, because the motion is different, it’s m ore natural. “But for one pitcher to throw gam e after gam e would be tough. I’d rather not, but we m ay have to. “The tournament this weekend w ill give the other two pitchers a chance to show what they can do.” The Sun D evil defense has been strong, com m itting only one error in two gam es against Cal. “D efensively, I think w e’re as strong as w e have ever been,” Littlewood said. “ (Wednesday night) both the infield and the Jack Bantoy/State Pram ASU’s Karan Fifield attem pts to beat a throw as California’s Denise Arce tags firs t base W ednes­ day.

They w ill utilize their speed on the basepaths to manufacture runs. “We don’t really have much in the way of power hitting,” Littlewood said. “Ann Rowan, the shortstop, has a strong bat, and Char Schmitt is capable of being a strong hitter. “Other than that, everybody else is just sort of a poker, hut w e’ve got great speed. We’ve got som e very quick people who, if they can get cm base, w ill be aw esom e.” In past years, unsuccessful attem pts have been made at professional women’s softball leagues.

Sun Devil Mike Davies' (190 pounds) is three victories away from claim ing the honor of being the all-tim e winningest wrestler in ASU history. Currently, Davies has 125 wins, just two shy of record-holder Dan Severn. Severn is the elder brother of heavyweight Rod Severn, ASU’s lone undefeated wrestler at 20-0-3. The record has stood since 1961 and coach Bobby Douglas said he thought it would never be broken. D avies has worked his way up from sixth place since the start of the season. out the trip at Cal State-Fullerton today and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo on Saturday. “This is the last of our Pac-10 m atches,” Douglas said. “They are crucial m atches.” But ASU has two injured wrestlers: Zeke Jones (118 pounds) and two-time AllAmerica John Ginther (177 pounds). Jones suffered a rib injury last weekend in a match against the Sunkist Kids, while Ginther is suffering from a groin injury. The Sun D evils w ill return home Monday and begin training for the tournaments coming up in March. “This weekend is a warmup for the upcoming Pac-10 tournament,” Douglas said. “We are improving and getting in a lot better shape.” Martz named as A S U offensive coordinator weekend ASU sports By GARY JACKSON State Press BASEBALL — The second-tanked baseball team engages In Six-Pap play today and Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday a l 2 p.m . at UCLA.

I just have one goal left — the national title. Nothing else would be satisfactory.” The trip w ill be the last tim e ASU will face Pac-10 opponents before the conference tournament, March 5-6. The.Sun D evils opened the trip up at Cal State-Bakersfield Thursday night and round M ik e M a rtz ASU assistant coach Mike Martz was nam ed offensive coordinator, A thletic Director Charles S. Harris announced Thursday. The position was the last to be filled after John Cooper and som e assistants left ASU for Ohio State following the 1987 season. Martz, who has coached the quarterbacks at ASU for the past five seasons and the receivers for his first four, w ill replace Jim Colletto, who followed Cooper to OSU. “I am honored and grateful for being given the opportunity,” Martz said. Martz said that he was interested in the offensive coordinator position and asked coach Larry Marmie for the job. “I told him that I wanted the job,” Martz said. “I am tickled that it ended up the why it did. “That adds a great deal of pride for me, because I know he went through a thorough process.” .. . -«• Martz said he is happy to work with one of the finest collegiate coaching staffs! “They’re the best that there are,” h e said. “It doesn’t get any better than these people.” The experience and background of the staff should provide another successful season for the Sun D evils, Martz said. “They do a great deal of work,” he said. “As the offensive coordinator, the main purpose w ill be to put together their efforts.” Martz said that the offensive program has been successful, so there is no need for restructuring. “We feel comfortable with the program ,” Martz said. “There aren’t going to be a lot of changes.” To give more attention to the athletes, Gene Huey was added to the Sun D evil staff last year to coach the receivers, giving Martz more tim e to work solely with the quarterbacks. This season, coach Don Bocchi will instruct the receivers in place of Huey, who now coaches at Ohio State. Martz began his coaching career at Bullard High School in Fresno, Calif., in 1973 after graduating summa cum laude from Fresno State. State Press Friday, February 19,1988 Page 16 W inter O lym pics offers little for television view ers D a v e B ig o s AssL Sports Editor ABC’s coverage of the Olympics thus far has been experiencing the agony of defeat. If Roone Arledge, president of ABC’s news division, thought the network was m isled into paying a record $309 m illion for the rights to broadcast the gam es, what must he be thinking now? America’s inability to win a gold medal will soon drive the television ratings into the ground. ABC w ill be broadcasting 95-plus hours of Olympic action. Take out com m ercial tim e and the viewer wiU actually be treated to about six hours of actual event tim e. I still can’t get over the fact that the network’s favorite tim e to break away from the hockey gam es is during power plays. When the U.S. team succumbed to a superior Russian team on Wednesday, ABC cut away twice during a two-minute power play. Is the revenue really worth this lack of devotion to coverage? Madison Avenue m ega-star Spuds McKenzie w ill receive m ore air tim e than Am erica’sr top medal threats, Debi Thomas and Brian Boitano, combined. This is sad, but most likely true. Why is it that this great desire burns inside m e to see one of those pucks penetrate Spuds’ pads and send him off the ice in a lifeless, furry heap? Any viewer of average intelligence would much rather see the unequaled approach of Great Britain’s Eddie Edwards in the ski jump competition than to see a barely-conscious bull terrier strapped on to a pair of Rossignols as a beautiful Russian woman drools over him (her, actually) in the distance. ABC needs to give us more about guys like Edwards. It beats watching the U.S. lose another event. Edwards, the jumper with glasses so thick that he can barely see his take-off point, does not seem at all intimidated by the Olympic press hype. He reminds one of Houston Astro pitcher Charlie Kerfeld. All that’s m issing is a Jetsons Tshirt underneath his parka. Everyone who has been keeping a close eye on the gam es w as given a treat on Wednesday. No longer w ill you be forcefed the idea that Pirmin Zurbriggen, the great Sw iss downhill skier, is on a quest for five gold m edals. After minor equipment failure kept him out of the top spot in the combined alpine skiing event, the voice of ABC was quick to lower its standards and predict four golds.

Sun Devil swimmers to face big challenge against Wildcats By CHRIS PIRKEY State Press The ASU m en’s swim team , out to avenge its previous loss to Arizona, w ill take on the W ildcats on Saturday in what Coach Ron Johnson said will be a “challenge to the m ax” for the Sun D evil swimmers. Sixth-ranked ASU w ill face 12th-ranked UofA in its last dual m eet of the season, and Johnson expects the contest to be evenly matched between m ost of the swim m ers. ASU’s Gerhard Vanderwalt takes on Wildcat Matt Rankin in the individual medley. Rankin currently has the fastest tim e in the 200 individual m edley and is one of the best swim m ers in the nation. Other UofA swimmers the D evils m ust watch out for include backstroker Scott Johnson, distance swimmer Jeff Utsch and breaststroker Mike Welch. The Wildcats w ill have trouble trying to keep up with ASU distance freestyler Rich Shinnick, and butterflyers David F ix and Ross Anderson. Johnson said UofA is a well-balanced team and that Dick Jochums is “one of the best coaches in the country.” “UofA is a very well-coached team ,” Johnson said. “They have several outstanding individuals and it should be a good m eet.” Johnson said the sprinting and distance races are not strong ¿vents for the W ildcats, and he plans on capitalizing on those weaknesses. In this dual m eet, only the shorter distances w ill be competed in, offering swim m ers a chance to participate in m ore events. It also gives both team s an opportunity to prepare for the NCAA Championships, where these events w ill again be offered. ASU breaststroker Pete Boden said he is looking forward to the match-iip and predicts that it w ill be a tough fight to the finish. He said the rivalary with UofA offers the younger swim m ers a chance to compete in one of the m ost exciting m atches the team has all year. “Everyone gears up for this m atch,” Boden said. “It is exciting — especially for those who have never participated in it.” There are nine individuals who have qualified for the nationals from ASU. Neil Bradley, Eric Fuchs and Dave Burgess have all qualified by a' relay event. Anderson, Boden, Yan Cardineau, Paul Howe, Rich Shinnick and Vanderwalt are all individual qualifiers and are busy preparing for the April contest.

TEMPE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SHERATON TEMPE MISSION PALMS HOTEL i Stete F rei» Page 17 Friday, February 19, Airborne Pole vaulter qualifies for NCAA Championships By GARY JACKSON State Press ASU track star Mark Gersten reached new heights this season w hen he q u a lified for the NCAA Indoor Championships in the pole vault. Gersten cleared 17-3% on Saturday in Norman, Okla., the site of the 1988 NCAA Indoor Championship Tournament. “I’m really excited about going,” Gersten said. “If you just clear a height and jump up, you have a good chance to win.” Gersten said he does not expect a lot of people to be jumping at the championship m eet and that the higher the bar is moved up, the more people w ill tend to drop out. Gersten speaks from experience. After he cleared the qualifying height in Oklahoma, the bar was moved up to 17-8. Gersten said if it w o e up to him, he would have attempted 17-6 first. He narrowly m issed the much higher mark. Other than competing in m eets at NAU, Gersten said he has not jumped indoors vary many tim es. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “The crowd is right on you, which makes it more exciting than when you’re outdoors; vaulting off somewhere where nobody ever sees you.” Still, Gersten said he prefers to jump outdoors and likes the track surface more than the boards. Because of this, he expects to make higher jumps than he has so far during the indoor season. “Outdoors, you can run a lot faster and you usually have a tail wind to work with,” Gersten said. Gersten said he is trying not to let jumping indoors affect his season because he is gearing up for the outdoor season. “I want to work all the way through indoors and outdoors and try to peak later on in the season,” Gersten said. “It makes it difficult when you have a m eet every weekend.” Competing in both categories has also interfered with his weightlifting program, which Gersten says has been the biggest contribution in increasing his jumping height this year; “To jump in these m eets, you have to take tim e off from lifting and relax a little before you go into com petition,” he said. “You end up laying off your regular program, which I really don’t want to do.” Although lifting has helped him to improve, coaching provides the basis of good form in the vault. Gersten said he has had five coaches at ASU, but he has learned the most from a fellow Sun Devil. “My biggest influence was Steve Tully, who was here when I was a freshm an,” Gersten said. “Coming out of high school, Y-KNOT PARTY SHOPPE IM 1415 E.

While demonstrating the proper way to vault, Tully set the ASU record for pole vault with a 17-4% jump. Since working with Tully in his first year at ASU, Gersten said he has been trying to break bad habits in the vault that he learned in high school. Gersten earned all-state football honors and set the school pole vault record (15-0) in his senior year at Papillion High School in Nebraska. His interests were split between three sports during high school, and up to his senior year he preferred baseball the most, he said. “I didn’t vault until my senior year,” Gersten said. Now in his senior year at ASU, Gersten has a good chance to top the list for the ASU men’s best marks. But making the Olympic team roster will not be as easy, Gersten said. “It would be like a big shot in the dark if I made it on the Olympic team — half the people would have to catch pneumonia,” Gersten said. “I would have to jump about 18-3% to make the trials. And to realistically make the team, would take a jump of 18-10 to 18-11, if not 19.” 3 BVBLOS RESTAURANT B Y B L O S ___________________________________________ RtSTBUCtONT Fa s t a n d u n iq u e : AUTHENTIC MEDITERRANEAN AND MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE AND PASTRY LAMB KEBAB • CHICKEN KEBAB • KEUFTA KEBAB FALAFEL • PEPPER STEAK • FRESH SEAFOOD FINE WINE & COCKTAIL TAKE OUT AND SANDWICH ORDERS AVAILABLE 15% DISCOUNT TO ASU STUDENTS AND FACULTY 3 3 32 S.

Jansen, Am erica’s world sprint champion, was on his way to what could have been a m edal, m aybe gold, in the 1,000 m eters when he tipped over on the outside edge of his right skate on a back straightaway of the final lap. He fell and sat on the ice in disbelief, rocking back and forth with his face buried in his hands. Coach Mike Crowe and team m ate Nick Thometz helped him off the ice, although he w as unhurt physically. The pain was m ental, and it was excruciating. After he left the ice, he em braced his fiancee, Canadian speed skater N atalie Grenier, and cried in her arm s. He fell, too, last Sunday, just hours after his sister died. That tim e he fell on the first turn of the 500 m eters. It w as an Olympics in which America’s best just wasn’t good enough as wind played tricks with the schedule and Eastern Europeans toyed with the opposition. Winds that reached 72 mph and blew one skier right off the course forced postponement of the women’s downhill and team 90-meter jumping. Am erica’s best bet in the downhill, Pam Fletcher, w as gone anyway, breaking a leg when she ran into a volunteer worker during warmups. . Bonny Warner had the best finish of any American luger in an Olympics, but she w as more than two seconds behind winner Steffi Walter, who led another E ast German Olympic sw eep. Warner w as sixth, 1.875 seconds away from the bronze. “We now have gotten right on the verge,’’ Warner said. That’s what happened to speed skater E ric Flaim the day before when he set a U.S. record in the 5,000 m eters, only to finish fourth, 1.17 seconds away from a bronze. That’s what happened to the U.S. hockey team , which staged a wild, three-goal rally in the third period Wednesday night, only to lose 7-5 to the Soviets. Adversity was finding Am erica’s team in bizarre w ays. On Thursday, that w as Fletcher’s department. Fletcher broke the sm all bone in the lower part of her right leg when she collided with a volunteer during training, and now she’s out of the Games. “ I cam e down the training hill, and you have to cut over a cat-crossing to m eet up with the chair lift,” Fletcher said. “A man cam e across the exit. We tried to avoid each other. He went
