McWhortor was an obnoxious little kid trying to run the school. It ’shard to believe he was obnoxious then, considering his m ild-m annered, quiet nature how. But McWhortor, Gov. Rose M offord’s choice to be the next student regent on the Arizona Board o f Regents, has since, learned one does npt build coalitions by alienating the eigth graders. It took less than a few minutes fo r M offord to decide that M cW hortor would be the best student fo r the regent post, according to M offord spokesman Vada Manager. And M cW hortor, a 23-year-old ASU political science senior, said he’s ready to play hardball, if necessary, to get students’ voices heard on a board (hat has a reputation o f often brushing aside student opinions. t „ < “ You’re always faced with the ‘student g o vern m en t’ au ra around you th at som etim es people think is not really serious,’ ’ McW hortor said. “ But here, you’re not just a student who’s a regent, you’re a player. “ I ’ll be a strong m em ber o f the board.” His nomination to the post is expected to be easily confirm ed by the Senate sometim e next week. McWhortor, a 4.0 G PA student who w ill graduate in August magna cum laude, also has learned to exude confidence while not being pugnacious. “ He (M cW hortor) pushed a ll the right buttons about education with Governor M offord,” Manager said. He has learned the art o f polities this se m e s te r in th e A rizo n a H ouse o f Representatives, where he has interned w ith H ouse D em o cra tic lea d ersh ip . McWhortor was part o f the behind-thescenes machinations o f the impeachment hearings o f form er Gov. Evan Mecham, an experience McWhortor said w ill stay with him forever.-, : , . “ I learned m ote in four months in the House about politics than four years in political science classes, ” he said. McWhortor, who stands about fiv e feet-, seven With a scruffy'm ustache and a shock o f dark brown hair, said he was. converted from an obnoxious kid to a smooth operator w hile beginning ins professional career the Same w ay many politicians do: as a journalist. He was news director for KATO radio in Safford, A riz., then later jumped ship and worked fo r the competition, KFM N. “ I learned diplom acy by seeing how the m overs and shakers o f Gila V alley got things done,” McWhortor said. To pay for his ASU education, he produces salesmanship videos fo r businesses. But McWhortor said his vocation w ill always be fighting fo r education “ even if I m ove to Sun City when I ’m old.” “ Nothing should stand above education in our society.” Except fo r expenses, student regents serve without pay fo r one year. Arizona’s three Universities rotate having a student representative on .the board. This year, A S U -ites C h ris C u m m iskey, fo rm e r Associated Students president, and Paul Larsen, the Associated Students of Arizona regents’ liasion, also vied for the regent post. ~ Turn to McWhortor, page 18.

Both said they looked forward to debates. T h e other Dem ocrat still in the race, Jesse Jackson, looked gam ely ahead to the next round o f prim aries in Ohio and In d ia n a. D esp ite D u kakis’ huge v ic to ry in Pennsylvania on Tuesday and a growing delegate lead, Jackson said the race was not over. “ I keep struggling against the odds, and I ’ve always struggled against the odds and succeeded,” Jackson said on ABC-TV. “ This campaign w ill rem ain alive. It w ill go right down to the w ire in California and New Jersey on June 7.” Bush locked up the Republican nomination, passing the required 1,139-delegate mark with an easy w in in Pennsylvania against a field that hod long since withered. He lunched privately with President Reagan, who indicated the tim e was nearing for a form al endorsement of his vice president. iBoth Bush and Dukakis said they would continue their prim ary-cam paign efforts. But -they w ere already providing a preview of the fa ll general election campaign with a long-distance debate on foreign policy and other issues through network T V interviews. Dukakis, the Massachusetts governor, opened fire on Bush’s role in the Iran-Contra affair. The governor said: “ A ll w e know is that he sat there and did nothing w hile w e engaged in one o f the w orst and one of the most misguided adventures in the History o f Am erican foreign policy,” a reference o f the arms-for-hostages rivaling directed by W hite House officials. Senate approves trade bill 63-36; supporters lack veto-proof margin W ASHINGTON (A P ) — H ie Senate approved, 63-36, and sent to the W hite House a sweeping trade bill Wednesday, but supporters fe ll short o f the two-thirds victory m argin needed to override a threatened presidential veto. “ The minuses outweigh the pluses,” Sen. Orrin Hatch, RUtah, said o f the bill. He called key plant-closing provisions that (h ew heavy fire from the administration “ economic terrorism .” Dem ocrats tried to wih over at least 14 Republicans and thus gain a veto-proof margin. They ended Up with 11 GOP senators while losing one Dem ocrat, retiring Sen. W illiam Proxm ire, D-Wis., who was concerned about the b ill’s changes in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Reagan administration lobbied until the last minute to avoid a recurrence o f its defeat last week when the House passed the trade bill by a m argin large enough to override a veto. Judge threatens to dismiss charges; says administration stonewalling WASHINGTON (A P ) - The Iran-Contra tria l judge accused the Reagan adm inistration W ednesday of intentionally holding back classified documents needed by the defense, and warned that charges would be dism issed"if the stonewalling continues. . U.S. D istrict Judge Gerhard A . Gesell blamed the Hiiomrnn not on independent counsel Law rence E . Walsh, but on an inter-departmental task force that has control over hundreds o f thousands o f secret documents that may be needed in the case. “ A stone w all is being built up between this court and the tria l,” Gesell said at the end o f a day-long pre-trial hearing. Noting that Walsh has tried to get the documents fo r the defense, the judge said: “ The responsibility lies with the attorney general and the White House. I want to find out promptly what is taking place and what is going to take place.” '¿ M w S i ■ Gesell said the case has encountered a serious obstacle because of the administration’s “ intentional withholding of documents necessary for the defense.” He also has said the case cannot go to tria l unless the administration declassifies relevant documents that may be introduced into evidence.

Senate B ill 1376 would create the housing development o ffice and make it a part o f the Arizona Department o f Commerce and set up a housing trust fund that would use proceeds from the sales of unclaimed property to construct low-cost public housing. In 1986, sales o f unclaimed property totaled $4.5 m illion and was deposited in the state’s general fund. The b ill proposes using those funds to construct housing for the homeless and victim s o f domestic violence. There are about 10,000 homeless people in Phoenix, 35 percent o f which are women and sm all children. Brenda Barbon, who is homeless after being evicted from her apartment and had previously spent six months livin g on Phoenix streets, said, “ It’s tim e that you and I, w e die people, took control o f out lives.” She said urban renewal has destroyed 1,800 units of lowincome housing and only 483 new units have been constructed since 1986. Furthermore, there is a four-year w aiting list for public housing in Phoenix.

The sale o f alcohol is currently prohibited in Sun D evil Stadium, but board members, U n iv e r s it y o ffic ia ls and C a rd in a l representatives argue that in order to sell the $60,000 skyboxes — vita l fo r Cardinals’ revenue — sufficient lubrication must be available. W e won’t argue that point. I f a company or individual pays that much to watch a football gam e, they should probably be allowed a drink or two — at least to help them forget the price. But the double-standard of only allowing skybox patrons to consume alcohol is sim ply unacceptable — to students and football fans Valley-wide. There are good reasons fo r outlawing alcohol at sporting events — fan violence and the potential for drunken driving after the gam e forem ost among them. And some could also w ell argue that controlled intake o f alcohol during a sporting event heightens fans’ enjoym ent and shbuld be allowed. But whatever the final decision on alcohol use at the stadium — a public fa cility open fo r use by a ll — it should be equally applied to a ll in the arena. Not selectively based on the price o f a fan’s ticket. The Regents w ill hold a hearing on the m atter this summer — when, unfortunately, most students w ill be out o f town. But we hope those of you who w ill be remaining w ill make plans to attend and voice support for the equal application o f alcohol regulations at a ll stadium events — including Sun D evil games. letters Right to life or sex? Editor: I must say that reading the opinion page of the State Press (A p ril 27) was very interesting. Darrin Hostetler wrote a very eloquent column on Arizona Senate B ill 1200, a b ill that would make abortion illegal in the state of Arizona. Unfortunately, eloquence took the place o f substance in M r. Hostetler’s column. Mr. Hostetler neglected the other half of SB 1200 that would accompany the banning of legalized abortions in Arizona. SB 1200 would also make certain form s of birth control illegal in Arizona, specifically certain form s o f the P ill. Now I wcmder, Mr. Hostetler, what is your m otivation behind this? You argue that Jim Skelly is truly concerned with the protection of the fetus as a human being. Thus, Mr. Skelly is dedicated to the banning o f legalized abortions. But tell me, Mr. Hostetler, what the h ell does contraception have to do with the protection o f the fetus as a human being? Think about it! Contraception is used to prevent the conception o f an em bryo which would grow into a fetus. This is not “ m urdering” the fetus because the fetus does not exist when the contraception is used. Therefore, the argument that Mr. Skelly is genuinely concerned with the rights of a fetus as a human being comes into question. It seems obvious to m e that Mr. Skelly has some underlying reasons for SB 1200 (in its en tirety). Could that underlying reason be religion? Probably, yes! How would SB 1200 affect the citizens of . '-'tt Attack Hie state of Arizona? It is not very hard to see. Those men and women who choose to engage in sex — whether in or out of wedlock — would run a very high risk of pregnancy with every act of intercourse. Thus, those men and women who choose to have sex — whether in or out o f wedlock — and do not wish to have children would be very lim ited. In other words, your right to choose to have sex would be severely restricted. Is this right? Should our legislature legislate our right to have sex? If the concern is the “ right o f life ” of a fetus, then the answer is no. I f the concern is one of religiou s m orals then the answer is debatable. But according to Mr. Hostetler, the concern is the form er. Therefore, the legislatu re has no righ t to leg isla te restrictions on our right to have sex. You can argue until you are blue about whether abortion should be outlawed or not, Mr. Hostetler. You can argue that it is “ murder” a ll you want. I have m y opinions about that issue also. But what I am trying to say here is that SB 1200 is not just a bill addressing the issue of abortion. It is a bill that would legislate restrictions on the right of Arizonans to have sex. This has nothing to do with the “ right to life ” o f a fetus, so leave it alone. S. Yousef Hashimi Junior, Aerospace Engineering Opinion E d ito r’s N ote: SB 1200 does not p roh ib it the use o f contraceptives — p ills and devices that prevent the sperm from fe rtilizin g the egg. I t only prohibits birth con trol that destroys the already-fertilized Stanford murders Western culture T h e c o m p la in t a g a in s t th e old curriculum was that it was “ crushing the psyche of those others to whom Locke, Hume and Plato are not speaking.” Ed Schubert *SM g A sst. O p in io n E d ito n F rom tim e t o . tim e, edu cation al institutions come under the attack of avowed enemies o f education and reason. It happened last summer when Christian fundamentalists succeeded in having 31 textbooks banned in Alabama on the grounds that they promoted “ secular humanism.” And it happened last month at Stanford U niversity, when academ ic Luddites succeeded in gutting that university’s core requirements fo r a popular course called “ Western Civilization.” This is what happened: H ereto fo re, Stanford requ ired its undergradua tes to read 15 classics of p o litic s and philosphy,. w hich the U n iv e rs ity con sid ered essen tia l in understanding our culture: Plato, Homer, John Stuart Mill* etc. Eighteen other volumes w ere “ highly recommended.” Now only six books are required and none are recommended. Why? Because' the classics expressed a “ European-W estern and m ale bias.” Which is to say they were written for the most part by white European men - r dead ones, at that — and as' such were considered by some to be both sexist and racist. By whom? By a coalition of m inority students and fem inists, who succeeded in goring the curriculum and replacing the previously required texts with books written by “ women, minorities and persons of color.” What? That’s right. In order to combat racism, Stanford is now requiring students to read books, not because of the content o f their ideas, but because of the gender and pigm entation o f th eir authors. The previously required classics have been tossed overboard precisely because their authors w ere white males — to combat racism , you know. How did a ll this come about? Quite dem ocratically. The students voted on the curriculum, and the faculty and adm inistration acquiesced — or perhaps “ abdicated” is a better word. W ait a minute. Since when do students dictate the curriculum to the faculty? Since March. A t Stanford. Now, as I recall, both John Locke and David Hume w ere speaking about the problems and prospects o f dem ocracy and representative governm ent, and they both had a strong interest in and keen insights into human psych ology. P la to was concerned m ore with the nature o f justice and with the just society. Now just who are “ those others” who find these topics irrelevant? Why, women and m inorities, of course No. The real racists are those who claim that our civilization somehow belongs more to white people than to blacks. The real sexists are those who suggest that Locke, Hume and P lato are inappropriate reading for women. The real bigots are those who, like the fundamentalist book banners, self-righteously extol ignorance as their chief virtue. They are worse than racists. They represent the most narrow, bigoted and chauvinistic view o f culture that can be held — a view w e shall call the Myth of Progress. What is the Myth o f Progress? Very simple. It is the notion that mankind is continually and inevitably rising to greater heights and higher achievements. From this perspective, everything that is current is good — the very pinnacle of human accomplishment — while everything that is past is bad. And the older a book is, the worse it is — all the w ay back to the worst book o f all, the Bible. The Myth o f Progress can only be sustained through ignorance. I f one has never read Shakespeare, it is easy to consider Samuel Beckett to be the last word in dram a. I f one has never read the Federalist Papers, it becomes possible to accept the infantile babbling o f a Charles Reich as political philosophy. But o f course, there is no reason to read Shakespeare or the Federalist Papers in the first place — they’re old, therefore irrelevant, end o f argument. Thus the Myth of Progress is a pernicious, false and thoroughly arrogant exam ple Mi temporal provincialism at its worst, based on a m ilitant ignorance which must continually feed itself. It’s an ugly thing to see. A t one demonstration against the old curriculum, which was led (o f course) by Jesse Jackson, 500 students chanted: “Hey bey, h ob o, Western culture’s g o t to g o ."

As it turned out, those mountains and hills and rice paddies m ake up a good 90 percent of the countryside I saw in Korea, but there w ere no proteste — in fact, the people w ere very tranquil and happy to see us. I arrived at Kim hae A ir Force Base near Pusan, South Korea on a chartered 747 with the 500 men and four women of the 1st of the 180th F ield A rtillery battalion (Arizona National Guard), based in Mesa, and its parent unit, the 153rd FA brigade from Glendale. About four or fiv e ASU students would take part in the Team Spirit exercise held yearly in this country. The overall purpose is to practice joint m ilitary operations between the South Korean (R .O .K .) and the U.S. arm ies, but it always helps to shake up the bad guys up north a little bit — especially with the Olympics coming Up. Both countries’ forces are m ixed into “ blue” and “ orange” arm ies and the two go at it just like in a real w ar, although “ k ills” and “ captures” are determ ined by neutral controllers. W e w ere quickly ushered through customs, despite being in fu ll combat gear and carrying our M-16 rifles the entire time. Up to this point, the only Koreans we had seen w ere the bus drivers. Our fligh t from Phoenix to Anchorage, and then to Yokota, Japan had been a long and boring 12 hours and the only thing I wanted to see after landing was the inside o f my eyelids. A funny part o f flying 8,500 m iles from home and crossing the International Date Lane was that w e landed the day after w e took o ff, but at about the same tim e o f day. W e had chased the sun a ll the w ay across the P a cific and it was in the same position the entire tim e. So much for the flat-earth theory. An eight-hour drive the length o f South Korea broke us into the driving habits of Koreans. First of all, Korean traffic consists almost entirely, o f Korean-made cars and trucks with a sprinkling o f U.S. m ilitary vehicles m ixed in. Before our unit was actually put into the “ w ar,” w e were given a couple o f days to just look around the town at which w e w ere tem porarily based. So, w e quicklyloaded up on won (the national currency) at 750 to the dollar and hit thé high road to adventure in the little town o f Wonju. I quickly discovered that the Korean people can be very friendly to Americans in uniform. I later learned through my battery’s R.O.K. arm y interpreter, Sgt. Kim Lee, that Koreans are very grateful fo r the Am erican m ilitary presence, and because w e helped them during the “ 1950 W ar,” as they call it. They aren’t, however, too thrilled that Truman allowed the w ar to end at the 38th parallel, just north of Seoul. Much like the Germans, they would like to see Korea reunited and practically worship the m em ory of Gen. Douglas MaçArthur, who drove to capture the entire Korean peninsula before being fired by Truman. K orean ch ildren visit w ith A m érlcan troo p s. A n A rm y com m and v eh icle an d an M 109-A3 how itzer A t times, our interpreter said, the Koreans resent the fact that the U.S. allowed the w ar to end as it did. But, he admitted, there is very little that can be done to rem ove the political boundaries between the two Koreas at this tim e short o f war. In our travels through Wonju and subsequent cities in the “ Land of the Morning Calm” we w ere most impressed by the almost total acceptance o f the Korean people to our presence. Children would readily run up to us add try to speak with us while their parents watched, sm iling approvingly. Numerous times individuals would approach us and try out their command o f English on us, asking questions about what part o f Am erica w e w ere from and what it was most famous for. Alm ost surprisingly, Evan Mecham’s name didn’t seem to register but deserts and cactus did. The countryside is extrem ely h illy and mountainous with sm all valleys containing either rivers or rice paddies. Sgt. Lee once told me that “ if you stretched Korea out so that it was flat, it would be a very large country.” And, since South Korea lies on about the sam e latitude as Colorado, it has its share of pine trees and extrem ely cold weather. The 1/180’s role in the “ w ar” was to support a R.O.K. infantry division which was on the offensive. Ib is required us to m ove up to three tim es a d a y— sometimes in the m iddle of the night with little sleep, fighting the infamous Korean tra ffic with our 23-ton howitzers that tore up the streets if they w ere turned too sharply. We quickly discovered that the orange arm y was taking this w ar gam e very seriously. I figure I was “ killed” tw ice during the three week period, both tim es within supposedly “ secure” areas. First, by an attack helicopter which strafed our position, and the second tim e by enemy soldiers who had infiltrated our rear fines and attacked our base camp. Despite the fact that w e w ere constantly m oving, w e always could be assured that w herever w e went there would be a kind of “ mom and pop” store set up just outside of our camp within an hour of our arrival. Set up in sm all tents, these Koreans would sell soft drinks, such Korean delicasies as barbeque squid, and a kind of Korean ramen noodles. Since the average Am erican soldier would rather eat ramen noodles than field rations, I am sure they did very w ell. Even the squid, which tastes like a sweet fish and cam e in a plastic package like beef jerky, sold quickly. N ear the end of the exercise I got an opportunity to take a train to K orea’s capitol and largest city, Seoul. Sgt. L ee had told m e not to judge Korea by the countryside, and I could understand why. Seoul is a sprawling city which covers the surrounding hills with wall-to-wall housing. The streets are crowded with both tra ffic and pedestrians — made worse by the hundreds of street vendors who set up shop on the sidewalks and try to coax passing tourists to buy anything from fake Rolex watches to dried octopus. And let me tell you, after two and a h alf weeks 8,500 m iles from home, the sight of a Burger King, Pizza Hut, BaskinRobbins, Kentucky Fried Chicken and W endy’s a ll clustered together in downtown Seoul w ere a sight for sore eyes. A fter three weeks in Korea, w e w ere glad to board that 747 for home and an enthusiastic cheer rose up throughout the airplane as w e lifted off. I was glad to have participated in the exercise and I really did not mind missing classes fo r it. Team Spirit is a learning experience fo r a ll and I learned m y fa ir share. As a junior arm y officer, I learned what a m ajor field exercise is like and how to better perform m y job. As a U.S. citizen, I learned what South Korea, the nation so often in the news, is really like. And I drew some conclusions. Despite some in the U.S. who would say that Korea should not receive Am erican m ilitary aid because of its history of autocracy and dictatorships, Koreans really seem to want a true dem ocracy and have proven this by the recent free elections in that country. They really seem to appreciate the Am erican m ilitary presence and with such a strategic location, it would be folly for the'U.S. to alter its present policies toward this growing and rapidly industrializing'Third W orld country.
