Prof uses grant to fight drugs By KELLY JAIN State Press The national “ Just Say N o” program fa lls short o f its in ten t, said a c o m m u n ic a tio n s p r o fe s s o r w h o recen tly received m ore than $300,000 to develop an anti-drug m essage fo r teen­ agers in high school. M ichael Hecht, a communications professor and project director o f a study funded by the National Institute o f D rug Abuse, said he w ill find out how and w hy teens resist drugs and then use that inform ation to d e v e lo p an e f f e c t iv e d ru g re s i s t a n c e m essage. “ I think there are severe prob­ le m s w ith th e ‘ J u st S ay N o ’ progam , ” he said, adding that the H ech t m essage is sim p­ listic and naive. “ Th ere’s m ore to resistin g drugs than just saying no.” Th e health education coordinator at the Student H ealth Center, Chuck M cD u ffie, agreed, adding that it m ay be appropriate fo r children under 7 years old. “ It w as a good firs t step to draw attention to dru g abuse and tell rea lly young kids that it’s O K to say no to dru gs,” he said.

B efore launching the full-scale study, Hecht said he conducted a prelim inary p ilot study in which 40 teens recalled a situation when they said no to drugs and then described in detail how and why th e y tu r n e d d o w n th e i l l e g a l substances. The p ilot study found that teens just beginning to experim ent w ith drugs have m ore d ifficu lty saying no than teens who a re around drugs a ll the tim e. Hecht said he w ill in terview 100 high school students and severa l ASU students who w ill reca ll a situation when they resisted drugs and then describe th eir answer in detail. The study should be com pleted by January 1991, - Hecht’s “ new” anti-drug m essage w ill be m ore e ffe c tiv e than “ Just Say N o” because o f the in-depth research involved and the utilization o f teen answers, he said.

Hold The By TYRONE MEIGHAN State Press F L A G S T A F F — H ie decision by the Arizona Board o f Regents to appeal a judge’s ruling requ iring the release o f the names o f candidates in toe ASU presidential search could, extend con flict between the board and V a lley newspapers fo r years. “ The case w ill be up in toe appeal process fo r two years,” said R egent Andy Hurwitz, who is also an attorney. The regents voted unanimously F rid a y to appeal toe decision by M aricopa Superior Court Judge E lizabeth Stover. The board continues to insist that the candidates’ nam es should not be released because o f possible job repercussions a t the institutions w here toe candidates currently serve. In addition, the regents said few er quality individuals would have applied if to eir names w ere m ade public. “ W e w ere told by the experts that w ere w orking w ith us that if w e m ade toe names o f applicants and nom inees public ea rly in the process, it would- have reduced toe quantity and the quality o f the applicants,” said R egent Jack P fister, a m em ber o f the presidential search com m ittee. “ M y own experience w ith this process would tend to confirm the fa c t that had w e m ade public toe names ea rly on in the process, it would in deed h ave redu ced to e num ber o f applicants that w e would have had to consider.” Stover ru led Tuesday that the regents must release the 240 nam es involved in the search process and also pay a ll lega l fees resulting from the lawsuit between the board and the Arizona Republic and Tribune Newspapers. The lega l fees are currently estim ated at $100,000, but the amount could increase because o f toe regents’ decision to appeal. The lega l costs w ill be paid by the three s ta te u n iv e rs itie s w ith A S U p a yin g 50 percent. N A U and U ofA w ill allocate 25 percent each. P fis te r said that although there w ill be m ore lega l fees because o f the appeal, it w ill be an investm ent fo r toe future, “ It is our b elief that an investm ent in seeking clarification o f lega l issues in which there is no clea r Arizona precedent and a grea t deal o f am biguity and uncertainty is a cost-efficient investm ent,” he said. “ W e b elieve it w ill save m oney in lega l fees and adm inistrative fees in toe future.” But Associated Students o f ASU President Pau l Larson said he is not sure the regen ts are acting appropriately. “ I ’m not convinced o f the w o rto o f appealing toe court’s decision,” he said. “ I ’m e s p e c ia lly concerned about the additional leg a l fees the institutions w ill have to bear because o f this action.” B rad G olich , ex e c u tiv e d irecto r o f Arizona Students’ Association, said he also is concerned about toe mounting lega l fees. “ I f the Board o f Regents end up losing appeals, it m il be an unfortunate w aste o f resources,” he said, adding that the board should be concentrating on m ore im portant 1SSUeS' Board approves pay hike for university presidents By JOUE ANN LaPOLLA State Press F L A G S T A F F — The Arizona Board of Regents approved a 1.25 percent salary increase F rid a y fo r the presidents o f U ofA and N A U and its execu tive director — toe sam e that was granted to a ll university em ployees.

Arizona’s student regent feels right at home in new role Student R egent P eg g y Steffens is a true fan o f the three state universities. W hile she was grow ing up in Phoenix, Steffens was a Sun D evil, but then she attended the U ofA and cheered fo r the W ildcats. A fter graduating, Steffens enrolled in the doctoral program at NAU and supported the Lum berjacks. But in her new role, Steffens said she is fo r a ll the teams. “ Now I ’m a regent and supposed to cheer fo r everybody,” said Steffens, who is Arizona’s first voting student regent. The 32-year-old teacher was appointed to the Arizona Board o f Regents by Gov. Rose M offord last spring and has been busy reading the agenda item s and board inform ation e v e r since, she said. “ I want to get a ll the details I can,” Steffens said. “ I t ’s a lot o f reading and contacting student leaders.” Steffens, who was chosen as Arizona’s 1988 Teacher o f the Y ea r, handles a fu ll course load o f doctoral work, teaching responsibilities and attending board m eetings. But she said she enjoys her hectic schedule. She also said she is an advocate o f students’ rights. “ I wanted to work fo r the benefits o f students,” Steffens said when asked why she wanted to becom e the student regent. “ The schools and the universities exist to serve the students.” Although Steffens said she how feels confident as a m em ber o f the board, h er first m eeting was “ intim idating.” “ The first m eeting I said, ‘ I don’t fe e l prepared,’ ” she said. “ I went in saying, ‘Oh m y gosh, what am I doing h ere?’ ” . - 7 w anted to w ork fo r the benefits o f students. The schools a n d the universities exist to serve the students. ’ — Peggy S teffens But the other board m em bers m ade her fe e l w elcom e and treated her as an equal, she said. “ They m ade m e feel so good,” Steffens said. “ They w ere so accom m odating and helpful. They consider m e part o f the team .” One o f the issues Steffens is. figh tin g fo r this yea r is lib rary funding. S h e'said lib ra ry m aterials must increase or the universities w ill fa ll behind. “ A m ajor part o f a university is its lib ra ry,” she said. Steffens said she is also w orking on increasing m inority recruitm ent and retention and keeping tuition at an affordable rate. A fte r her year is up, Steffens said she w ill return to teaching math and com puters to junior high school students in the Am phitheater School D istrict in Tucson. Currently, she is on sabbatical to receive her doctorate and w ork on her dissertation. But Steffens said she does not want to spend her life in the classroom and sees h erself as a university adm inistrator when she “ grow s up.” “ I can have an im pact and g et im portant things out by teaching, but this experience (as student regen t) got m e into the idea o f adm inistration and m aking a d ifferen t im p act,” she said. ----- JOIE ANN LaPOLLA WITH A S A S U UNTO UCH ABLES FREE!!

It ’s tim e to start interacting with one another and rem ove the segregation that the U n iversity has told us w e need. When I was in fourth grade m y suburban elem entary school underwent som ething called “ desegregation.” To an elem entary school student, that’s a pretty scary word. A t the tim e, it sounded lik e it m ight even be painful, w orse than gettin g a shot from the school nurse. I f only it would have been so sim ple. D esegregation was an e ffo rt to in tegrate Am erican schools. M ost m etropolitan cities w ere forced to participate in som e form o f desegregation. F o r m e, this m eant gettin g up b efore dawn to catch a 6 a.m . bus and ridin g it fo r about an hour. B y 7:30 a.m ., m e and 150 other students w ere settled at our new inner-city elem entary school. M eanwhile, 150 inner-city students w ere riding buses across the sam e freew ay to get to th eir new suburban elem entary school. It was called “ busing” , and everybody hated it. A ll this money and effo rt was spent to in tegrate students and prom ote racial interaction. I'm not sure that this was the best or easiest w ay to in tegrate students, but at least it was a genuine effo rt to unite students o f a ll races. E leven years la ter I ’m a senior in college, and integration and ra cia l equality are still im portant issues facing our schools. ‘Some wom en have dem anded a "c e n te r” where they can offer one another support w hile a t the sam e tim e they c ry o u t fo r equal rights. I w o uld ask them, if equality is so very im portant, where is the U niversity’s "m e n ’s cen ter?” ’ Perhaps they alw ays w ill be. But what a re w e doing at ASU to integrate the student ■body? The adm inistration has responded by building a m inority lounge and a wom en’s center. Is this rea lly what students in these groups want? Or has allocating “ space” becom e an easy w ay to p acify m inority groups? M ost m inority students w ill tell you that they want to be treated equally. T o help them achieve this, the U niversity built them a separate lounge w here they can segregate them selves from the U niversity com m unity. A great w ay to prom ote interaction and celebrate diversity. Some women have demanded a “ center” w here they can o ffer one another support w hile at the sam e tim e they cry out fo r equal rights. I would ask them, if equ ality is so very im portant, w here is the U n iversity’s “ m en’s center?” W hat these w om ehw ant is a place to go w here there w ill be no men. But, if a group o f men got together whose demands w ere sim ilar, they would be labeled sexist. These wom en are being sexist, and it should not be tolerated. Sim ilarly, what would happen if a group o f non-m inority students demanded a lounge titled: “ W hite students’ lounge?” You can bet every one o f them would be labeled a racist. But, by creatin g a m inority lounge, the adm inistration has m ade it possible fo r m inority students to avoid interaction w ith non-m inorities. A re w e not pandering to the vices o f racism ? ASU is in the business o f education. Som etim es, out-of-theclassroom education can be tw ice as valuable as an in­ classroom education. I f w e could a ll “ lounge” together, think o f the educational opportunities. I f m inority students frequent their lounge in the Student Services Building, other students m ay n ever get the chance to m eet them , to UNDERSTAND them. And m aybe that is what the solution to these problem s is — . a shared understanding between people. Indeed, these lounges are not at a ll a part o f the solution to the problem s o f integration and ra cia l equality, they are part o f the problem . „• I f w e want to start interacting with one another as human beings, not as labels, then w e do not need these segregative policies. What w ill happen 10 or 20 years from now when m inority students and wom en at ASU are seeking equ ality and they find these m inority lounges or wom en’s centers? Perhaps, a fter a ll the current adm inistrators and students have gone, no one w ill be able to explain to these students that this was how ASU tried to integrate its campus. Who w ill be able to ju stify segregatin g a population in order to prom ote racial equality? Surely the U n iversity w as not tryin g to be racist or sexist when it allocated the space fo r these lounges. But that is what it has becom e. It is tim e fo r a ll ASU students — Hispanics, African-Am ericans, Asian-Am ericans, N ative-Am ericans, women, men and a ll others — to realize that “ separate but equal” went out w ith the last century. W hat w e should be aim ing fo r at ASU is “ united and equal.” It’s tim e to tea r down the w alls, both the physical and theoretical ones. Letters Hecht letter not an issue E d itor: : H aving read the letter by D avid Hecht, which slam s wom en at ASU, and then a ll the letters which in turn slam D avid Hecht, Pm som ewhat am azed at the w hole chain of events. F irst, I ’ m am azed that someone, m ale or fem ale, would spend th eir tim e w hile in college thinking only about how fast som eone of the opposite sex leaves a party when the alcohol disappears. Secondly, I ’m surprised at the amount o f space given this “ issue” con siderin g a ll o f the m ore im portant issues that do fa c e students and facu lty at ASU. W hat I find m ost am azing is the fa c t that the editors thought it im portant enough to g iv e Hecht a forum fo r spewing such garbage. I read the State Press to get inform ation concerning the issues, events and opinions o f those that a ffe c t m y education at ASU. W hile I b elieve the purpose o f the editorial section is to provide a forum fo r dialogue am ong the U n iversity com m unity, I also b e lie v e th e e d it o r ia l s t a f f h a s a responsibility to its readers. Had M r. Hecht w ritten a letter describing another m inority in the m anner he did, I doubt that it would have m ade it in the paper at all. W ith issues such as the U n iversity having to take m oney aw ay from students to pay fo r an unnecessary lawsuit that the regents brought on, or paying fo r a facu lty club, or overcrow ded classes if you can get into them , I think there are m ore im portant m atters to get w orked up about.

Opinion State Press Page 5 Monday, September 11,1989 Colum nist bought o ff by 'pow erful Jew ish Lobby’ M ike Royko Tribune Media Services As part o f the old saying goes: You can fool a ll o f the people som e o f the tim e. But this tim e, I couldn’t get aw ay with it. I ’v e been found out. M any readers rea lly got m y number. T h eir sharp-eyed observations can be found in a stack of m ail, a ll having to do w ith a column I recen tly did on the subject o f Israel. In that column, I raised the question of why, 40 years after Isra el becam e a tiny nation, tens o f m illions o f Arabs a re still determ ined to destroy it. I pointed out that Isra el has a population o f only 4.4 m illion, coverin g only 8,000 square m iles, Which m akes it sm aller than Verm ont. A speck on the w orld map. F o r that m atter, it ’s not m ore than a speck on that continent’sm ap. And it has few natural resources besides sm arts and courage. So w h y, I asked, does its existen ce cause such consternation to its huge neighbors with their vast populations and alm ost endless land mass? N ot to mention a ll that oil. Som e people thought the column m ade som e reasonable points. Th e suckers. But there w ere those who couldn’t be fooled. They’re w ise to m y m otives fo r w ritin g that column. T h ey phrased it in a va riety of w ays, som e unprintable. But th eir view s w ere best summed up by a M rs. R. Ainsley, a suburbanite, who w rote : “ N o doubt the powerful Jewish Lobby in this country must have paid you handsomely. . . . Israel would take no back seat to H itler, the Nazis and the Storm Troopers with their atrocities, brutality, deportation o f intellectuals and other viciou s crim es.” 7.'';:'V ^ “ E n joy your shekels and 30 pieces o f silver.” D rat. Caught in the act. Y es, M rs, Ainsley, that’s what happened, although not p recisely the w ay you put it. 1 had been sitting in m y office, tryin g to decide whether to m ite about the 12th anniversary o f E lvis’ death or the 20th an n iversary o f Woodstock, when a thin, dark-bearded stran ger walked in. H e said: “ M y name is Irv , and I am from the powerful Jewish Lobby.” Shaking a black bag, he asked: “ How would you lik e to m ake a bundle o f shekels?” I thanked him fo r his consideration, but I told him that I wasn’t interested in acquiring shekels. H e looked surprised and said: “ You don’ t want shekels? What do you have against shekels?” I explained that I have nothing personal against shekels. T o m e, a buck is a buck and a shekel is a shekel. But the bartenders in the taverns I visit don’t accept shekels. M any o f them, not being m en o f the w orld, wouldn’ t even recognize a shekel. The neighborhood convenience store doesn’t take shekels. N or does m y barber or bookie. So I p olitely explained that I was not interested in shekels, although it was nice o f him to m ake the offer. But out o f curiosity, I asked him what he wanted from m e in exchange fo r a bundle o f shekels? He said: “ Obviously, being from the pow erful Jewish Lobby, I would like you to w rite som ething favorab le about Isra el.” I told him that was a rather sticky request, since Isra el is currently out o f fa vo r with m any Am ericans. Besides the oldfashioned anti-Sem ites, there a re those who b elieve that Isra el — just by existing — is a nuisance to this country. The logic is that if Isra el would go vanish; Iran , S yria, Iraq, l ^ harmn and the rest o f that part o f the w orld would be happy and would stop com m itting acts o f terrorism against us. “ But they attack us,” he said. True, but there is the m atter o f a hom eland fo r Palestinians. “ Jordan was supposed to be their homeland. Look up history.” ;'-;■ v A lso true, but m any Am ericans lik e fast, sim ple solutions. So if you would just le t you rself be conquered, that would cool the tensions. Can’ t you just be go-along kind o f guys? “ W e tried being go-along kind o f guys fo r m any centim es. It wasn’ t good fo r our health. So le t’s do a deal. I f not shekels, what’s your p rice?” W e h a g g is , and I fin ally settled fo r a lunch o f corned b eef on ry e with a pickle and a potato pancake. So M rs. A in sley was right. They paid m e o ff but is wasn’t in shekels. But now that I have confessed, what about you, M rs. A in sle y ? When you w rote that letter, w ere your m otives pure? So n ever mind the shekels. Is it possible that you have a fre e Persian rug on your liv in g room floor? Nonsense Bush adm inistration’s drug policy doomed to fail J e ff G reen field Universal Press Syndicate N E W Y O R K — Say this fo r G eorge Bush’s firs t O val o ffice speech: It lacked the preten se w e had com e to expect of presidents declarin g their intention to wipe out drug use two weeks from Wednesday. H e described it as “ a v e ry difficu lt figh t” ; he did not pretend that the sm oking of m ariju ana was a clea r and present danger to the repu blic; and fo r a ll the talk from his subalterns about the “ casual drug user,” m ost o f his talk focused on cocaine — crack in p articu lar — and what it was doing to our streets and our lega l system . T h at’s the good news. The bad news is that there w as no recognition from the president, nor from those who toil on his behalf, o f the genuinely hard question about drug policy — perhaps because such recognition is beyond the courage o f public officials. In his b riefin g fo r the press on Tuesday, drug p olicy director W illiam Bennett said w hat is “ d istin ctive” about the Bush stra tegy “ is that w e iden tify the chief, sem inal w rong here as drug use. Drug use, w e say, is w rong.” H a lf a century a fter film s lik e “ R eefer M adness” and “ Cocaine Fiends,” 17 years a fte r Presid en t N ixon’s w a r on drugs, six years a fte r “ Just Say N o” becam e a national slogan, nearly tw o decades o f an endless parade o f celeb rity deaths and near deaths because o f drugs, does M r. Bennett seriously b elieve this concept m a rts a “ distinctive” strategy? T h is id e a is n on sen se, but it is understandable nonsense; that is, it reflects the rea lity that just about a ll o f the tangible elem ents in the Bush drug package — money fo r interdiction, m oney fo r m ore prisons, brave prom ises o f m ilita ry aid to drug-producing countries — m ean nothing. Build m ore prison space and it w ill be instantly filled ; put pressure on Colom bia and the drug producers w ill m ove to B olivia or Panam a or som eplace else; seize 50 tons o f coke and 500 tons w ill com e in from som ewhere else. G iven the ideological underpinning o f the Bush adm inistration, it m akes sense fo r the president and his minions to em phasize the m oral aspects o f drug use, to assert a need fo r personal responsibility and fo r sanctions against those who use drugs. What m akes the Concept nonsense as a strategy is that it has nothing to do w ith reality. That is, it has nothing to do with why p e o p le ta k e d r u g s a n d w ith th e consequences o f drug taking. Why do people take drugs? T o fe e l good. Drugs are an extrem ely e ffe c tiv e means o f changing consciousness, o f feelin g good. The trap, o f course, is that som e drugs w ill overw helm som e people, and other drugs wiU overw helm just about a ll people. So taking drugs involves a risk that in telligen t people shouldn’ t take. But, much as W illiam Bennett despises the analogy, that is true o f a ll sorts o f substances, legal or not; in fact, based on the danger to public health, it is much m ore true o f cigarettes and alcohol than it is o f a t least som e drugs. grow th o f drug gangs who w ill litera lly slaughter anyone who gets in their way. L e t m e put this bluntly: As a m atter of individual public responsibility, w e should be a t least as concerned w ith those folks who cannot stop drinking than w ith those who cannot stop sm oking grass. B y every m easure — death, inju ry to others — booze is much worse. In other Words — and in painfully uncom fortable words — a ll drug use is not created equal. A ll o f it is dumb; much o f it is self-destructive. But only som e o f it poses a g ra ve threat to our public safety. W hat rea lly makes the drug issue such a public m enace is that in som e o f our c o m m u n itie s d ru g u s e h a s o th e r , horrendous consequences: violen t behavior trig g e re d b y cra ck cocain e, m assive amounts o f crim e com m itted by people who need m oney to buy drugs and inexorable Som eday a president m ay acknowledge the (lite ra lly ) “ un-Am erican” notion thàt gathering sm art m en around a b ig table w ith chants and graphs does not ensure a happy ending. Som eday a president m ay choose to recognize the hugely d ifferen t kinds o f drug abuse in A m erica and put our m oney w here the crisis is. But not yet. stitc press Monday, September 11,1989 _____________ Businesses near campus welcome back students By LAURA SCHMIDT State Press W ith m ore than 43,000 ASU- students swarm ing back to cam pus fo r the fa ll sem ester, n eigh borin g stores, restaurants and bars are givin g “ thumbs-up” to their U n iversity customers. Sales only suffered a slight drop fo r stores near the campus during the summer because the 24,896 students that attend sum m er school kept the business flow ing. A report conducted by Tim Hogan o f the ASU Center for Business Research indicated that students added m ore than $459 m illion to the m etropolitan Phoenix econom y in 1986-87. Students spent the most — approxim ately $70 m illion — on auto paym ents. They also spent an estim ated $53 m illion at the V a lley’s grocery stores. Restaurants and bars acquired $24 m illion of the Students’ m oney , w hile clothing purchases accounted fo r m ore than $16 m illion. The study did not break down the spending by geographical area, but Hogan said m ost o f it probably occurred in Tem pe or its surrounding areas. , K im Hagood, an assistant m anager at the Vine Tavern, said 85 percent o f the bar’s m ainstream crowd are students, so sum m er business rem ains solid. “ It ’s still Steady in the summer but it’s not boom ing,” she .said, John Cox, owner o f F lakey Jake’s Restaurant, said that although students com prise 25 percent o f the eatery’s business and it dips to 20 percent in the summer, lunch crowds keëp the cash com ing in. “ I can’t see much differen ce in lunch business,” he said. “ It ’s as strong as w in ter.” Nathan Taylor, an assistant m anager at The Gap in the Cornerstone M all, said students represent 80 percent o f his sales, with m ost being the week before Christm as break and the first day o f the sem ester that the dorm itories are open. “ Parents com e in to town and they say, ‘L et’s go shopping fo r som e new school clothes,’ ” T a ylor said, adding that a lot o f fratern ity and sorority m em bers bought clothes during Rush Week this year. “ I know w e had a $5,000 sorority sale,” T a ylor said. C raig C icinelli, owner o f C ollege Street D eli, north of campus, said his store sales coincide with the ASU school year. “ W e are here only fo r the students and facu lty — it ’s alm ost 100 percent,” he said. Chris Aikm an, m anager o f C ollege Street D eli, said business increases gradu ally each sem ester. “ T o m e it ’s frustrating because w e a re alw ays busy,” he said. .lami* Scott LyVc/StatcPm According to («p orts from the ASU Center for Business Research, students pump more than $459 million a year into the metropolitan Phoenix economy. But Aikm an added that business is extrem ely slow during the three-week period between spring sem ester finals and the firs t week o f sum m er school. Aikm an said that he likes to hire students because they live close to campus and they already have set schedules. Taylor; who has also hired students to work at The Gap, agreed that U niversity students enjoy the atm osphere and can m aintain a busy schedule. M ark M ankey, m anager at the Dash Inn, said students account fo r 80 percent of his “ group hang-out” crowd. “ The kids can blow o ff steam here,” he said. The Dash has been a college hang-out fo r 25 years, and during the last 11 years M ankey has m anaged the bar. Spring sem esters a re the busiest tim es, M ankey said. “ It’s one o f the few places in Tem pe that is still around, and the students fe e l com fortable,” he said. The Dash w ill be torn down when the lease expires in three years, but it is expected to relocate, he said. Bob E ccles, owner o f Top’s Liquors, said students account fo r 65 percent o f his liquor sales. He added that students like the convenience o f the keg d elivery and pickup service. He said the liquor store sells m ore than 200 kegs o f beer every week, and about 250 pints o f Jack D aniels whiskey and Bacardi Rum fo r every Sun D evil or Phoenix Cardinal football gam e.

Tem pe M ayor H arry M itchell said Oonk, 65, resigned fo r personal reasons. Oonk is going through a d ivorce from his second w ife, Oonk had served on the council since 1982. Councilman and V ice M ayor Don Cassano said it did not seem Oonk’ s divorce was in terferin g with his work on the council. ‘ ‘ I ’ve known Rowland since 1982, ’ ’ he said. “ He worked w ell with the council.” C assano said Oonk was v e r y straightforw ard and had a lot o f integrity. “ I think Rowland brought stability and a sense o f perspective over the years,” he said. “ He probably has a lot on his m ind.” Councilwoman B arbara Sherman said Oonk was very responsive when she worked with him. on a legisla tive com m ittee. “ I ’v e enjoyed w orking w ith Row land,” she said. M itchell said the council w ill appoint a tem porary councilm an by Thursday to “ fill-in ” Oonk’s absence until the next prim ary election on M arch 20,1990. “ I ’m looking fo r som eone who w ill not run fo r the spot (in the electio n ),” M itchell said. “ It (w ou ld) g iv e that person an advantage in the election .” - M itchell added that Oonk understood the issues the council considered and was “ steady” through his tenure. “ Anyone you w ork with fo r that long, you are certain ly going to m iss,” he said. Cassano said Oonk has fiv e children, two o f them from his second m arriage. He added that Oonk w ill probably continue w orking at his current job at the Arizona Association of Industries. Mormons oust Native American leader in storm of controversy S A LT L A K E C IT Y ( A P ) — Leaders o f the Mormon church who abruptly excom m unicated the only N ative Am erican ever appointed to the church hierarchy are busy trying to blunt the im pact o f his storm y exit and questions he raised. G eorge P . Lee, the first Mormon high o fficia l in 46 years to be erased from m em bership rolls, is heading to the mountains alone fo r a month or m ore o f fasting and m editation about his future outside the church, which he claim s is polluted from the top by pride and racial prejudice. “ It ’s the w ay o f m y people,” Lee, a N avajo and son o f a m edicine man, said a week a fter losing his o ffic ia l standing Sept, l as a role m odel fo r m ore than 40,000 N avajo Mormons. Tw o Mormon o fficia ls convened a hastily scheduled m eeting F rid ay with local church leaders at Window Rock, headquarters of the N avajo reservation. A sim ilar session w as arranged Saturday in Shiprock, N.M . N a v a jo sources, who attended F rid a y ’ s m eetin g, characterized the session as an effo rt by the church to isolate L ee and his beliefs from his people. “ G enerally they said it was not the church’s fault and that it was due to G eorge . . . , ” said one N avajo, who spoke on condition o f anonym ity . “ They are tryin g to nip it in the bud, but at the end w e w ere a ll somewhat confused,” L ee said in an in terview he had no intention o f recruiting his own follow ing and discouraged disillusioned church m em bers from leavin g the faith: But he did not retreat from his characterization of Mormon leaders as vain men bent on dislodging N ative Am ericans P ress Q M from what L ee sees as their rightfu l place in Morm on theology. L ee’s abrupt departure is seen by m any N avajo Mormons as a validation of his claim that the church leadership under President E zra T a ft Benson is quietly m oving to dislodge Indian m em bers from their heritage. Mormons believe N ative Am ericans are descendants of ancient peoples who sailed to the Am ericas and whose history is detailed in the Book of Mormon. The volum e’s title page says it is w ritten to the Lam anites, or N ative Am ericans, “ who are a rem nant o f the house o f Isra el; and also to Jew and G entile.” ‘I t ’s the w ay o f m y people. ’ ¿ — George P. Lee L ee says Benson’s predecessor, Spencer W. K im ball, taught that N ative Am ericans are litera l descendants of Israel, w hile non-Native Am erican M orm ons are gentiles “ adopted” into the House o f Israel when they em brace the faith. Church spokesman Bruce Olsen said it was not his place to define current M orm on doctrine, but sources a t the Window Rock m eeting said E ld er H. Burke Peterson attem pted to dp so by arguing that the blood of non-Native Am erican Mormons is transform ed, m aking them litera l descendants o t t l'ie w s C e n t e r £ ß ö is e m e r v t £ Q Ó 5 -7 5 7 2 ® o f Israel. “ He (P eterson ) said that those who are being baptized into the church, their blood physically changes to that o f the {lou se o f Israel, ” said one source who dem anded anonym ity. “ This kind o f confirm s what E ld er L ee was sa yin g," L ee contends the b elief that a ll Mormons a re litera l descendants o f Isra el reflects an attitude o f w hite suprem acy am ong M orm on leaders who have system atically cut N ative Am erican program s at church-owned Brigham Young U n iversity and elsewhere. Lee, a m em ber o f the F irst Quorum o f the Seventy since 1975, w as excom m unicated fo r “ apostasy and other conduct unbecoming a m em ber o f the church’ ’ follow ing an hour-long m eeting w ith Benson, his counselors in the governing F irst Presidency, and the Quorum o f the T w elve Apostles, an advisory body that supervises the Seventy. M em bers o f the three panels are known as general authorities in the 6.7 m illion-m em ber Church o f Jesus Christ o f Latter-day Saints. A t the m eeting, L ee read a 23-page letter detailing his concerns. Then, w ithin minutes, tw o o fficia ls told him to turn over a ll church property, including a credit card and a signed pass w ith which faith fu l M orm ons gain entry to their tem ples. “ It was just absolutely cold,” said Lee, 46, a father o f seven who is without pension or im m ediate job prospect. A request to interview a m em ber o f the T w elve was declined. As a m atter of policy, church o fficia ls do not divu lge details o f disciplinary actions. C3p©n Ô o i.m .- 5 p .m .

M ore than h alf o f the U, S. population has high levels o f cholesterol, and few er than 10 percent o f Am ericans know if they have high cholesterol in their bodies, according to the National Institute o f Health. The Nursing Community Health Services w ill o ffe r screening sessions at ASU, and students can get checked fo r $7. Results are availab le in three minutes. The checks w ill be offered from 9 a.m . to 3 p.m . today in the ASU Bookstore and Sept. 20 in the M U Apache Room . “ There rea lly is an e ffo rt throughout the country to inform people how w ise it is to get th eir cholesterol checked,” said E lizabeth Holman, clin ic coordinator fo r Community Health Services. She added that anyone age 20 or older, should get checked. Cholesterol has been called the “ silent k ille r,” and Am ericans a re dying because o f their diet, according to a report done by “ H eart Beat, The H ealthy H eart R eport.” Cholesterol can block arteries in the heart, which can cause heart attacks. “ I f som eon e’ s c h o le s te ro l le v e l is elevated, it can be decreased by exercising and follow ing a proper d iet,” Holm an said. The ASU Student H ealth; Center also offers d aily cholesterol checks fo r $9, and interested people can learn their entire coronary risk p rofile. Chuck M cD uffie, coordinator fo r health education at the center, said the p rofile is a m ore detailed and accurate view o f a person’s cholesterol level. U nlike the Nursing Com m unity’s check, som eone who decides to u tilize the health center’s cholesterol check must fast fo r 12 hours before the s e re n in g .

H ow ever, he said that in recent years “ LJ.S. leadership and d iversity in the supercom puter industry itself has declined dram atically. . . . W e cannot afford to cede o u r h is to r ic a l le a d e r s h ip in h ig h p e rfo rm a n c e c o m p u tin g and in its applications.” ‘ ‘A future national high-speed com puter network could have the kind o f catalytic e ffe c t on our society, industries and universities that the telephone system has had during the 20th century,” B rom ley said. The program envisions establishm ent o f a N ational R esearch and Education Network w hich w ould tran sm it data betw een supercom puters at speeds up to 3 gigabits — 3 billion tots — per second, or 2,000 tim es faster than current com puter networks. “ This tremendous challenge is within the grasp o f the United States in the next 10 years,” the report said.

Try killer mashed potatoes M IN N E A P O LIS (A P ) — Instead o f using poison to rid their homes o f m ice, Hennepin County residents are being asked to ca ll in the k iller potatoes. That’s right. Put out a bowl o f mashed potato powder near a dish o f w ater, and it ’s supposed to bloat the varm ints to death. That’s just one o f the chem ical-free suggestions the Minnesota county has in a four-page, trash can-shaped brochure it began givin g out last week at its household hazardous w aste collection sites which w ere set up to encourage people not to put their lefto ver household chem icals in the trash. The ideas in the brochure — a cross between M other E arth New s and Hints from H eloise — w ere gleaned from several sources and include buying hints and H ie com ity printed 30,000 copies o f the brochure fo r residents who want natural altern atives to toxic rem edies fo r common household pests. I I the problem is flies and a sw atter is too much work, the brochure says to try a plate o f egg yolk, m olasses and fin ely ground black pepper. Ants? T ry tansy, one o f several herbs that repel the craw lers. A t least one county com m issioner thought som e o f th e id ea s sounded a little farfetched. • •>' “ I ’m skeptical about w hether som e o f this stu ff w orks,” said Com m issioner Randy Johnson, though he said he has used som e o f the brochure’s stain rem oving tips. Don Seeberger, a county planner whose job is to keep hazardous w astes out o f people’s garbage, says m ore than h alf o f the hints w ere tested at the homes o f sta ff m em bers before publication. But Seeberger got m ixed reports on the alleged k iller potatoes. “ W e have a secretary here who tried it and told us that it did w ork,” he said. “ W e have another guy who told us it didn’t w ork.” STUDENTS 25% SALE (THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH) FINE ART, ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING & G RAPH IC DESIGN STUDENTS: SH O P FOR YOUR ART SUPPLIES FROM THE VALLEY'S M O ST COMPLETE SELECTION THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH A N D RECEIVE A SUB­ STANTIAL 2 5 % DISCOUNT!
