In addition, « percent of the senators who responded to the poll strongly agreed that their colleagues went into the proceedings with a fa ir and open mind. Shortly after his trial, Mecham said Ins rights under the ILS. Constitution w ere not guaranteed and that he m ay appeal his conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court. He is expected to announce this week if he w ill take that route. In a press conference after the trial, impeachment Presiding O fficer Frank X. Gordon also said Mecham’s rights w ere protected. Mecham, who has often discounted the results o f polls, could not be reached fo r comment. Gordon was given an “ excellent” grade by 100 percent of the polled senators. Mecham was convicted and ejected from o ffice A pril 4 fo r obstructing justice and m isusing state funds.

P eter K ay , R-Pboenix said. But Sen. J eff H ill, R-Tucson, who voted to acquit Mecham on articles o f impeachment, said he strongly disagreed. H ill maintained from the tria l’s start that Mecham faced “ trumped-up charges.” W hile 76 percent o f the senators strongly agreed Mecham’s rights w ere guaranteed, 14 percent placed themselves in a lower a g re e m e n t c a te g o ry .

Lela Alston, D-Phoenix, blamed Mecham fo r hiring attorneys Craft and Jerris Leonard only one week before the tria l’s start as the reason for the tria l’s snail-like pace. “ Fred and Jerris w ere brought in late, so a lot of their discovery had to be done in court,” she said. Senators’ reactions w ere m ixed about their colleagues’ dispositions going into the five-week trial. Although not naming them directly, some senators said at least four of their colleagues had their votes in mind before the tria l started. “ (Butir I was not disappointed in my colleagues,” Sen.

ASU dedicates building to Goldwater By VICKIE CHACHERE State Frees Tfie site of ASU’s future Engineering and Science Center was dedicated Saturday to retired Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater, the national political figure whose first career ambition was to be an engineer. “ I think I Should just remind a ll o f you that the future of this country is wrapped up in science and engineering,” Goldwater told about 150 state and ASU officials who had gathered fo r the ceremony, including Arizona senators John M f-rain and Dennis DeConcini, Gov. Rose M offord and gubernatorial recall candidate John Rhodes. “ I can’t emphasize too much the importance to me, and I know that Denny (DeConcini) and Mac (M cCain) love engineering and science, and I hope this building w ill contribute to (solvin g) the problems w e face in this country,” Goldwater said. DeConcini told the crowd that Goldwater had once dreamed o f being an engineer. “ Barry Goldwater has stated on a number o f occasions that he is a frustrated engineer,” DeConcini said. “ His real dream was to go.to W est Point and become an engineer.” But during Goldwater’s freshman year at the U ofA, his father died and Goldwater returned to Phoenix to take over the fam ily business. “ The nation lost a great engineer, but it gained an outstanding pants salesman,” DeConcini joked. “ The 188,000-square-foot center w ill house research facilites for the College o f Engineering and Applied Sciences. The $25 m illion federally funded center is scheduled to be completed in August 1990. Goldwater said that the Soviet Union graduated 600,000 scientists and engineers in 1987, w hile U.S. colleges and universities graduated just 60,000. Goldwater added that m ore than 80 percent o f file U S. graduates w ere foreign students. “ We have got to build an interest in our young people in science and technology, avionics, electronics; and I am convinced that this building . . . w ill accomplish or help to accomplish that,” Goldwater said. Th e cen ter had been c ritic ize d b y the R eagan administration as being a waste o f federal funds. The center is being funded through the Department o f Energy, but administration officials believe that Arizona should have picked up the tab. “ When w e first dicussed the federal funding for a science and engineering center over four years ago, I envisioned a center o f excellence h e re . . . that would stimulate scientific and technological advancement not only for university students, but fo r the population and fo r the industries in the V alley,” DeConcini said. “ Someone once said, ‘college is where you study literature, philosophy, psychology, economics and engineering and a ll those other subjects that make you such an interesting person to talk to while you’re in the unemployment line. ’ W ell I ’m here today to tell us a ll that the development o f this center is to be sure that graduates o f Arizona State University don’t have to spend tim e on the unemployment line.” Fees penalized for campaign materials Captivating Sen Dennis DeConcini addresses a group in ASU’s Armstrong hen Friday.

In a decision handed down Friday, the ASASU Election Commission ordered Fees to rem ove all o f his 11-ineh by 17-inch cam paign posters from campus within 48 hours. He was also ordered to abstain from distributing his 8%-inch by 14-inch fliers or face disqualification from the election. “ It is the opinion o f the commission that Mr. Fees knowingly violated the definitions of ‘poster and flier, as listed in the ‘tim e, place and manner’ restrictions,” the decision states. The Hma, place and manner restriction requires fliers to measure 8t4 by 11 inches and posters to rem ain within the dimensions 15 by 20 inches to 70 by 90 inches. Fees said Sunday that he was unhappy with the commission’s ruling. “ I think their decision is wrong,” Fees said. “ I think I ’ll appeal it.

Clark, the keynote speaker fo r Associated Students’ “ Insuring Tom orrow” leadership conference, said at a Saturday news conference: ‘This A ffirm ative Action crap, this wholesale accepting of black kids, regardless o f skills or capabilities — that’s ludicrous.

Secondly, they h ave n ever targeted our innocent civilians in terrorist attacks. Thirdly, they provide us with valuable intelligence information. Fourthly, they are the only country that battle-tests our weapons system s (which is m ostly not by their own w ill). F ifth ly, they provide us services w h eig asked to do so without questioning the reason fo r such a request if w e stress its im p o r t a n c e ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ H H Sixthly, they provide the only sea port in the Mediterranean Sea fo r the American Sixth Fleet. Seventhly, they provide us with the opportunity to use their airspace and air force bases if necessary. Eighthly, they provide the areas of agriculture, laser technology, pollution reduction, solar energy storage and tra n sp o rta tio n , com m u n ication , weapons systems, etc. And the list of benefits to the United States continues far and beyond those things mentioned above. Face it, Mr. Shurrab, Israel is an allaround benefit to the United States. This is not to say that Israel is beyondreproaeh and that Israel is perfect. B y a ll means this is not true. But no soetety is perfect. I f there w ere such a society then utapia would be a reality. Nonetheless, Is r a e ls a valuable ally to the United States.

Mr. Shurrab, you must com e to understand this. M yself and a m ajority A the Am erican people have already done so. S. Yousef Hashimi Junior, Engineering Lebanese reality Editor: During the past few months, w e have continuously read about Palestinian and Israeli students debating their view s on campus, but never once was Lebanon mentioned. A pril 13 marks the 13th anniversary of the beginning o f the c iv il w ar in that tiny country which is currently being occupied by Palestinian, Israeli and Syrian forces. The im age most Am ericans have o f Lebanon is one of destruction, chaos and constant fighting. However, this is the ’^B-msmsssrt inaccurate im age projected by the media. In reality, Lebanon has'managed to survive and prosper despite the many obstacles it has had to face. Today, over 125,000 of its population have been killed, another 200,000 wounded and over one-sixth displaced. In a d d it io n to that, up to 80 percent of the Lebanese territory is not under direct control of the central government. However, against a ll odds, Lebanon has been able to pull through this c risis because o f the optim ism and _____________________ “33SS3KF determination of its people: businesses are still operating, schools and universities are still open, ami until recently, the Lebanese currency was one o f the strongest in the region. I only hope that this short overview o f the situation will have matte people more aware about the reality o f a country which.is struggling to regain the title it once held: “ The Switzerland o f the Middle E ast.” Jihane Khawam Junior, Journalism -______ ________ ____ quotable ‘The less o f routine, the m ore o f life . ” — A.B.

SUNDI KJENSTAC Page 5 Monday, April 11, 1988 WHI C o rrectio n s: J e s s e J a c k s o n is 's p e e d y / not 'g re e d y ’ Hunter S. Thompson North American Syndicate Jesse Jackson was on T V in a whole different Way last night — not on the news, like always, but as the centerpiece o f a very expensive-looking political ad, which the Jackson campaign has not been able to afford up to now. Despite a stunning streak o f victories and huge media coverage, Jesse has not attracted enough money in the w ay o f campaign contributions to even pay fo r a fu ll-tim e ch artered plane, much less national TV ads. But the tim es they are a-changin’ , as Dr. Bob once said, and the R ev. Jackson’s form erly low-dollar campaign has picked up m ore speed in the past six weeks than Gov. D u kakis’ w ife got her hands on in the 26 years o f what she said was a fearful addiction. But that is a different story and we w ill deal with it later, along with a ll the other loose ends — like horrible typos, for instance, that make m y work a nightmare. Last week I referred to Jesse Jackson as a “speedy black preacher . . . ” but in print it was “greedy black preacher.” And that is a huge difference — especially fo r a journalist who has to deal with these candidates in person, as I did last weekend with Jesse. He was com ing to Aspen on Saturday to m ake a speech at the Hotel Jerom e — a “ fund raiser” in the trade — and it was clear that I had to attend, even though it was scheduled for the same time as the Oklahoma-Arizona gam e on TV . H ere it was: the Final Four, and I was already down by two units on the gam bling front and now Jesse was showing up at exactly the wrong tim e. Or m aybe not. . , . I brought a ll m y energies to bear on the problem, and at the last possible moment I cam e up with a solution. I called B ill Dixon up in Madison, W ise., and he said Jesse was such a full-bore basketball fan that under no circumstances would he miss the biggest college gam e of the year. Dixon, form erly G ary H art’s national campaign manager, had just called a press conference in Green Bay to announce that he was endorsing Jackson fo r president. It w as big on the network news, and Dixon was o p tim istic. “ H e is goin g to w in in Wisconsin,” he said. “ And he is going to roll into Atlanta as the front-runner in both delegates and the popular vote. They are going to have a hell o f a tim e denying him the nomination.” Dixon, a form er banking commissioner in Wisconsin and chairman of the Dem ocratic Convention in 1980, seems to enjoy the prospects: “ L et m e tell you a quick story: I ’m in an elevator last week with Jesse, B ill Morton, Tony (Anaya, form er governor o f New M exico) and four Secret Service men. . . . Jesse gets in the elevator and says, ‘You know, Tony, I ’ve been stumped fo r a few days. I read in the paper where the big boys o f the Dem ocratic P a rty are trying to take the delegates aw ay from me, even though I ’m leading in the popular vote. And I start to get mad and I say, They’re doing that because I ’m a black man . . . but then I think about it and I realize, N o! This is 1988 and I ’m in Am erica — this ain’t a racist country. So why are they trying to take away m y delegates? “ ‘Then I start thinkin’ , man, I went to school for 16 years and got diplomas to prove it, and every year I had to say ‘One man, one vote,’ in order to get m y As and Bs. W ell, the first 12 years, it didn’t mean black men, but then it d id .. . . And if they’re trying to take away m y delegates, they’re doing violence to m y education. . . violence to m y diploma. “ ‘And I figured out, this is 1988 in Am erica, and those Dem ocratic Party leaders, they ain’t trying to do violence to education, everybody’s fo r education. So, Tony, I ’m trying to figure out why they’re tryin’ to take to take aw ay m y delegates. “ ‘W ell, last night I ’m layin’ in bed, and it fin ally goddamn hits m e: this ‘one man, one vote,’ and they ain’t gonna g iv e m e the delegates fo r the nomination. . . . It’s the goddamn m etric system !’ And he starts shouting, ‘DOWN W ITH TH E M E TR IC SYSTEM ! U P W ITH JACKSON A C TIO N !’ “ And people are starting to turn their heads, and they’re wondering what’s going o n . . . and there’s Jesse with his arm in the air, shouting . . . and w e’re in a glass ele v a to r. . . “ W ell, this starts at about the 10th floor. W e get to the 11th floor, and, o f course, the Secret Service has got all the elevators jam m ed, so there’s like dozens o f people in each hall. It’s a glass panel, so you can see everything. And the elevator’s going by with Jesse’s voice at fu ll volume, scream ing this w ild gibberish. The people are roaring, and the Secret Service guys, who never sm ile, are cracking up.” I asked him what the hell this “ m etric system ” meant. “ I don’t know, man, I ’m just telling you he’s funny; he’s got a sense of humor.” But not me. There was nothing funny about m issing the Oklahoma-Arizona gam e fo r a political speech. I won by six points, and Jesse raised $15,000 from the all-white ski crowd. I sent word that I ’d see him in Arizona. “ That’s the most dangerous place he’ll have to go,” Dixon said. “ I f they’re going to k ill him anywhere, they’ll k ill him there.” Fajita Prima FRESH S O U T H W E S T FO O D & FAST SER VIC E FEATURING G REAT FAJITAS National Screenprint Imprinted Sportswear CAM PUS REP K A TH Y FEE 2121 S.

Betty Welton said that 732 of the approxim ately 2,715 seniors contacted by the telefunders donated to the class g ift project. “ For people who have never pledged before, 20 percent (pledge rate) is good,” Welton said. “ And we had 25.4 percent. “ We w ere pleased with the response,” she said. “ We want to encourage seniors to support this project and different projects.” The money that the telefund raised w ill be used to co-fund a fountain, sculpture or sim ilar type of art work, which w ill stand as a g ift from the senior class of 1988, she said. ASU w ill fund the rest o f the money for the project. Welton added that the ASU Public Arts Commission has not yet determined what the g ift w ill be. |STATS PR ESS A Steering Committee in charge of planning the project, the first of its kind at ASU, decided last fa ll to have the project be visible to everyone, Welton said. The art work w ill be displayed in front of the new Student Services Building. “ We want this to be something for all students to benefit from ,” she said. J eff Perius, chairman o f the Steering Committee, said, “ It (the planning for the 1988 project) went very w ell. There was a lot of good planning and many students participated. We provided the vehicle for the students to partipate.” Telefund workers contacted seniors during two weeks at the end of February to ask for pledges. Steve Keltto, an em ployee for the ASU telefund, said about 60 seniors were contacted each night. Most seniors donated an average of $60, Welton said. “ We wanted to make them (seniors) feel an overall identity,” Welton said. “ There has been a lack of identity with the senior class because most seniors associate more with their college rather than their class.” Although most of the work to bring in pledges is finished, H** 965-2292 Dtspbm AtMutiig: 965-7572 H A W 1-HOUR DOUBLE PRINTS 110 126, 35m m , D isc C o lo r P rin t F ilm P h o to fin is h in g (C-41).

Police said the 25-year-old fem ale clerk was cleaning the sidewalk outside the C ircle K store at 15 W. Southern Ave. about 4:20 a.m when a man approached her asking for change for a dollar. The suspect then follow ed her inside the store and behind the cashier’s counter where he pulled out a handgun and said, “ Come on, you’re com ing with me, get your car,” police said. The clerk refused and a struggle occurred, police said. Two shots w ere fired and the clerk was grazed by one o f the bullets then pistol-whipped on top o f her head. The suspect fled on foot when a customer pulled up at a gas pump at the front of the store. He was last seen going westbound through a shopping plaza. P olice described the suspect as a black m ale 25 to 30 years old, 6 feet tall, 185 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He was unshaven and w ore a blue baseball cap, a blue sweatsuit outfit that had white stripes on the sleeve and white hightop Nike shoes.

There shouldn’t be any question in anybody’s mind that bias is a two-way street.” The press fared better in senators’ eyes in providing fu ll coverage of the trial’s events. H ill said m ore than 2,000 calls and letters cam e across his desk. W hile 9 percent o f the senators polled said press coverage of Mecham’s trial was “ biased,” 64 percent said the press was “ unbiased” in its reporting. Eighteen percent said coverage was both biased and unbiased. * Nine percent said they had no answer. Head of Smitty’s stores found dead in apartment By MIKE BURGESS State Press Charles Thomas Hickey, president o f Sm itty’s grocery stores, who was apparently upset about m arital and health problems, was found shot to death inside his Tempe apartment Friday, police said. Police said Hickey, 46, a 1965 graduate of ASU, apparently shot him self in the head with a sm all-caliber handgun. Hickey’s body was found inside his apartment in the 6400 block of South Maple Avenue about 12:30 p.m . by a coworker who became concerned when he failed to show up fo r work, said O fficer Roger Clay, a police spokesman. Clay said the co-worker found Hickey lying on his bed, fu lly clothed with a gun on his chest. Hickey joined Sm itty’s, one o f the V a lley’s largest grocery chains, as a stock clerk in 1969 and worked his w ay up until he became president in 1977. He is survived by his w ife Linda and fiv e children. Eighty-two percent said coverage was “ com plete” while 14 percent said it was “ incom plete.” Four percent
