S t a t e ©Copyright, State Press, 1990 Tempe, Arizona V o l. 16 N o. 36 Friday, O cto b e r 1 9 ,1 9 9 0 Arizona State University’s Morning Daily Tuition talks a lon g w ay from over B y KEVIN SHEH State P ress TUCSON — The Council of Presidents recommended Thursday that the Arizona Board of Regents’ Resources Committee approve a $50 tuition increase for in-state students and a $450 tuition increase for outof-state students at ASU and UofA. E v e n though the A rizon a Students Association recommended lower increases -T $20 for residents and $312 fo r non­ residents — student leaders said they could live with the recommended COP increase. ' H o w ever, A S A m em bers expressed concern over the financial aid package approved by the committee, claiming it is woefully inadequate and fails to meet students’ needs. The COP considered recommendations made by a task force it form ed earlier this summer comprised o f student leaders, administrators and financial aid experts. The task force disbanded last Friday still split on the cost of education formula and a financial aid package. Officials said the rift still exists. The Resources Committee w ill meet Oct. 29, the day of the tuition hearings, when students w ill have an opportunity to tell regents their views on the tuition hikes. At the meeting, the committee likely will generate a specific tuition recommendation to the Board of Regents. Until then, regents and student leaders w ill continue negotiations on financial aid and the cost o f education formula, agreeing that there is a long road ahead before any firm decisions are reached. The regents plan to set tuition Nov. 9. Regent Andy Hurwitz said die tuition increase is justified, and indicated during the meeting he would support the tuition proposal at the regents meeting. But Regent President Esther Capin said the increase — because it is low to moderate — might lead to a drastic hike next year because, historically, this has been the pattern. “ Any number below that, I would not support,” she said, adding that she would even have to wrestle with the COP’s proposed increase. • In addition to the tuition increase, the Resources C om m ittee considered two amendments to board policy. Turn to Tuition, page 9- C oor to study ASU athlete’s schedule perks By K E LLY PEA R CE State Press ASU President Lattie Coor stated Thursday that while he is “ willing to consider priority status” at preregistration for student athletes and others required to complete an early program of study, he will seek advice from ASU’s interim provost before making a final ruling'. “ I do not believe that special academic privileges should be accorded to student athletes as a condition of their participation in intercollegiate athletics at ASU,” Coor said in a m em o to Milton Schroeder, chairman of the Intercollegiate Athletic Board. “ I am willing to consider priority status, in preregistration only, for all students who have special academic requirements such as a plan of study.” . : Interim Provost Elm er Gooding was unavailable for comment. The nine-member ICA board unanimously consented Sept. 25 to give student athletes priority over other students during preregistration. The board claimed that freshman athletes must file a plan of study, which requires a detailed sequence of classes they will take during the course of their collegiate careers. Upon entrance to ASU, more than 500 athletes must file a plan of study, while other students are not required to turn in a program of study until they have completed their 87th credit hour. Schroeder said Coor’s memo is a step in the right direction, adding that if the ASU president eventually approves the motion, it will have to be implemented by the University R egistrar’s Office.

Students’ sense o f security leads to crime rate increase By TEEN A CHADW ELL State Press The flood of new students on campus has led to an increase in thefts at the University this semester, an ASU Department of Public Safety official said. “ It’s essentially something w e experience every year about this tim e,” said Doug Bartosh, associate director o f ASU DPS. Seven incidents involving Wallet thefts, locker break-ins and stolen cash have been reported on campus this week, according to police reports. S tu d en ts a r e c a r e le s s w ith th e ir belongings at the beginning of the semester, until they realize crimes are occurring and pay a little more attention to where they leave their backpacks or purses, Bartosh said. He added that students tempt thieves when they leave items such as purses in desk drawers, file cabinets and other routine places. Officials said Hayden and Noble libraries offer the greatest haven for thieves. Loy Barnes, security officer for ASU libraries, said students feel a false sense of security among the rows of bookshelves. “ Students feel the library is a safe place, which isn’t the case,” he said. “ I ’ve seen backpacks lyin g around with w allets sticking out of them. “ It’s more or less Hayden or Noble that has the problem.” Barnes said since the beginning of the semester, six incidents w ere reported in Hayden Library, adding that most o f the thefts occur when students leave their backpacks lying on a desk while they search for books. K aci Manning, an 18-year-old freshman undecided m ajor, said she always thought Hayden Library was a safe place. Manning said she often leaves her backpack lying on a desk because “ it’s too hard to gather it up and take it with you.” “ You can leave it in one o f the cubicles and nobody Would know when you’re coming back,” she said, claim ing that no one would steal her backpack for fe a r she might catch them in the act. But Shauna Doughty, a 19-year-old freshman undecided m ajor, said she keeps her backpack with her at all times. “ I keep m y purse and everything in it,” she sa id . A staff m em ber from the Administration Building said she was not concerned her purse might be stolen. S h e ila R e in k e , an a d m in is tr a tiv e assistant, said she has not had any problems. But ASU DPS officials warn of the danger of complacency . “ It can happen here,” Bartosh said. “ You just can’t leave (your belongings) lying around.” C o lo r s : Columnist Mike Royko blames il­ literacy, economic stagnation and overall backwardness for racial hatred.

O ctober 19.1990 Leadership sem inar to feature public officials By LAUR A SCHMIDT State Press Three public officials will discuss their “ real life ” leadership experiences Saturday at the 13th annual ASU Student Foundation Leadership Seminar. “ Our speakers this yea r are more interesting,” said Mike Yehle, Student Foundation president. “ They are going to give us their own experience and their own style.” The Student Foundation is hosting the seminar titled “ Leadership for a Lifetim e . . . Tomorrow Starts Today,” which takes place at the Arizona Biltm ore Hotel Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission to the conference is $25 per person and $88 per group of four. Prominent speakers will include form er Arizona Senate President Carl Kunasek, Frankie C. Shipper, director of market c o m m u n ic a tio n s fo r U .S . W e s t Com m unications and fo rm e r ASASU President Chris Cummiskey, of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity who is a candidate for state representative in District 25. Shipper said she m ay discuss the importance o f leadership abilities in the future. “ I think I w ill talk about what I think will be in, and what I think w ill be out for the year 2000,” she said. Cummiskey said a hint to becoming a successful student leader is commitment to hard Work and the ability to organize people and events. He added that leaders must possess polished skills in accurate speaking and writing. Concerning his bid for a government position, Cummiskey said he believes his campaigning efforts this year will boost his chances to Win the ballot. “ I ’ve been walking door-to-door for the past eight months,” he said. “ This is really an appropriate time addressing students in leadership.” Mindy Nelson, conference director for the Student Foundation, said the organization is trying to make the seminar something special. “ W e don’t want it to be another leadership seminar, w e Want it to be different,” he said. ASASU President Matt Ortega said the purpose of the seminar is to educate students on leadership abilities and build a w a r e n e s s o f a v a i l a b l e a c a d e m ic scholarships. “ Leadership training is crucial,” said ASASU President Matt Ortega, who will speak briefly at the seminar. “ These days it is such a competitive world,” “ I was in the group for four years,’.’ he added. “ It’s rare that you find any student organization that strives for their own philanthropy.’ ’ Yehle said the Student Foundation will give away a number of $500 academic scholarships next March for one student in each college at the University, He said the organization gave aw ay 10 scholarships last year to students with strong leadership abilities. “ W e’ve been giving out scholarships every year since 1971 and nobody knows about it,” he said. “ We are looking for those students who deserve it and need it.” Y eh le said the Student Foundation will fund the scholarships by using the proceeds from last summer’s high school leadership seminar and a golf and tennis tournament they are planning.

O ctober 19,1990 State, Press ‘Unreasonable’ Keating bail lowered LOS A N G E LE S (A P ) ~ A federal judge lowered Charles H Keating J r.’s bail Thursday from $5 million to $300,000, ruling that a state judge was unreasonable in requiring such a high amount from the form er thrift chief. U S. District Judge John Davies said Superior Court Judge G ary Klausner arbitrarily set Keating’s bail as much as 50 times higher than that of his co-defendants, who already have made bail. “ I can see no rational reason whatsoever . . . for this disparate treatment among defendants,” Davies said. Keating, 66, an Arizona developer, was jailed on charges of fraudulently selling junk bonds issued by his A m erican Continental Corp., which owned the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association. A federal bailout of Lincoln Savings is expected to cost taxpayers $2 billion, which would make it the nation’s costliest thrift bailout. The bail decision cam e as the Senate Ethics Committee investigated whether five s e n a t o r s w h o r e c e i v e d c a m p a ig n contributions from Keating, improperly intervened with banking regulators on Keating’s behalf. Keating’s fam ily posted the reduced bail and he was expected to be released from a county ja il late Thursday, said sheriff’s Sgt. Bob Olmsted. One of K eatin g’s attorneys, Jeffrey Powell, said Keating would return to his home in an exclusive Phoenix suburb and begin preparing his defense. “ I ’m extrem ely pleased,” Powell said. “ But I think it’s unfortunate it took us 33 days to get to this point.” Deputy District Attorney Paul Turley said prosecutors would not appeal Davies’ bail ruling but contended Klausner ruled carefully in considering bail. “ I believe Judge Klausner viewed all the evidence in front of him and that evidence supported the bail amount without any arbitrariness,” Turley said. When Klausner initially set Keating’s bail at $5 million, Klausner described it as 2 percent o f the alleged $250 million in losses to people who invested in worthless bonds through Irvine-based Lincoln Savings. Davies called that proof o f arbitrary bail and said the Constitution allowed hail to be set only high enough to ensure a defendant would appear to answer charges. The 42-count state grand jury indictment accused Keating and three of his form er officials o f misleading investors about the security o f Am erican Continental junk bonds sold at Lincoln branches. Justice Marshall attacks court for execution stand W ASH ING TO N ( A P ) — Justice Thurgood Marshall, now a Supreme Court minority of one on the death penalty, still has an abolitionist’s fervor. He blistered his fellow justices for their “ indifferent shrug of the shoulders” in allowing a Virginia execution Wednesday. Marshall, indisputably the court’s most liberal member, fired off a strongly worded dissent as the court, voting 8-1,' rejected a death row inmate’s last-gasp legal gambit. W ilbert L ee Evans was electrocuted in Richmond hours later. : Marshall said the execution, the nation’s 14lst since the high court allowed states to reinstate the death penalty in 1976, “ highlights the inherently cruel and unusual, character of capital punishment.” Since Justice William Brennan’s retirement in July, Marshall , 82, is the only court member who opposes the dea th penalty in all cases. “ W e hope bur movement will help Justice Marshall feel less isolated,” said Leigh Dingerson of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty. “ Even though the . . . polls say 70 percent o f Americans favor the death penalty, those polls mean 65 m illion people agree with him.” Michael McConnell, a University of Chicago law professor, said M arshall’s persistent refusal to condone capital punishment does not weaken the court’s authority, “ I can see no principled objection to a justice refusing to follow a precedent if he feels it sufficiently important to register continued disapproval,” McConnell said. “ But he - who does so must not object when others sim ilarly depart from precedent regarding some other issue.” In the Virginia case, Evans was convicted of murdering a deputy sheriff in 1981.

G orbachev criticized for econ om ic plan MOSCOW (A P ) — An advisor to Mikhail Gorbachev said on Thursday that critics like Boris Yeltsin are needlessly eroding international confidence in the Soviet Union by attacking the president’s economic rescue plan. “ E very such speech robs us of several billion dollars’ worth o f (foreign ) loans," Abel Aganbegyan, an architect of Gorbachev’s compromise reform plan, told committees of the Supreme Soviet legislature. The econom ist’s charges heated up the political atmosphere as Gorbachev prepared to present his four-stage economic plan to the full, 542-member Supreme Soviet bn Friday. Aganbegyan charged that “ political instability” caused by Yeltsin would force Western banks and countries to think twice about offering loans needed to help the Soviet Union switch from a centrally planned to a m arket economy. Yeltsin, president of the Russian Federation, the largest of the 15 Soviet republics, said in comments published Wednesday that the president's plan was a “ catastrophe” and “ doomed to fa il” within months. Gorbachev’s four-stage economic blueprint, which has no timetable, would begin by reducing the national budget deficit, cutting the money supply, increasing production of consumer goods and boosting agricultural output. In the second stage, prices on 70 percent o f all goods and services would be freed to respond to m arket forces and small private businesses would be encouraged. The third stage envisions a free market fo r housing, a modern banking system and entrepreneurship. The final stage would end government monopolies in many industries and allow the ruble to be freely traded against other world currencies. Gorbachev and Yeltsin are locked in a battle for the Soviet people’s confidence, and recent public opinion polls indicate Yeltsin is winning. «, Yeltsin, a form er Gorbachev ally, has become more radical than Gorbachev in pushing reforms, and is promising to pursue the economic plan he likes best: A 500-day market transition drafted by economist Stansislav Shatalin. The public is unlikely to endure the inflation and unemployment expected to accompany any switch to a market economy unless it has confidence in the leader carrying out the reforms. Gorbachev, facing a breakdown of the economic system, realized this in late July when he set up a committee with Yeltsin to forge a compromise. But the two leaders quickly broke ranks, and their rift is widening further. Economist Oleg Bogomolov emphasized the importance of public support in remarks on Thursday to representatives of various Supreme Soviet committees, including the budget and finance committee. He said Gorbachev’s blueprint was flawed in not spelling out what sacrifices the people should expect. “ I think our population w ill go along if they are sure that as a result of these sacrifices, a result of the measures taken, there w ill be an end to the slide into an abyss, the collapse of the country, and a stabilization o f the consumer market,” said Bogomolov, director of the Institute o f Economics of the World Socialist System. H e is a top supporter of radical economic reform . E ven the official news agency Tass, traditionally loyal to the Krem lin, jumped on Yeltsin’s bandwagon Thursday. “ The ‘m arket package’ prepared by the Shatalin group is possibly the only form of surgery that can help the ailing Soviet economy recover,” Tass said in an unsigned commentary. “ Gorbachev is unwilling to consider radically breaking the managerial structures amid increasing political instability. Such a break would be inevitable if the Shatalin program w ere adoped,” Tass said. Yeltsin has m ade much the same criticism, saying Gorbachev’s plan is an attempt “ to perpetuate the system hated by the people.” He said the Russian Federation would go ahead with its own 500-day program, starting Nov. 1. ____________ O p fa fo » _________ _ _______ __ Strt« Prets Redneck revival Hard tim es b reed racial hatred in U n ited States M ike Royko Tribune Media Syndicate Chortling into his beer, Slats Grobnik said: “ Hey, I see where this guy David Duke has got a lot of the Washington politicians and pundits all shook up.” It isn't funny, who would have thought that someone with a background in the Klan and the Am erican Nazi Party, an obvious racist and rabble-rouser, could get 44 percent o f the vote for U. S. Senator in Louisiana. “ Who would have thought? I would have thought. What I don't understand is why it’s such a surprise.” It’s a surprise because this is 1990, not 1890 or even 1960. “ So? I know how to read a calendar.” . So it was assumed that the days of the redneck were behind us; that we had become a more tolerant, gentle, caring society. Or at least a little more civil. “ That’s sort of true. This David Duke ain’t no beady-eyed, pot-bellied deputy sheriff, eating corn pone or whatever that chow is. Sure, he's a bigot, but he's a clean looking bigot. Like somebody wrote, he comes on like a TV weatherman. So it means w e’re getting better taste in our choice of bigots.” That’s little comfort. Of course, we must keep in mind that his strong showing cam e in Louisiana, a state that is among the nation’s leaders in illiteracy, economic stagnation and overall backwardness. “ Yeah, but he did real good in the high-class sections. The people who got big houses, money and went to college — the country club swells — they went for him just like the guy with no front teeth. So that shows that if you give dentures to everybody that needs them, there really ain’t much difference between the guy mowing the fairw ay and the guy riding the cart.” Then that election was some sort of abberation. “ Some sort of what?” Abberation. It’s something that deviates from the normal. “ Be careful. You’re starting to sound like George W ill.” I ’m sorry, it must be the drink. But you get my point. Yeah, but I don’t see why it’s some kind of whatsis.” / Abberation. “ Right. Why do you think it ain’t normal for somebody like David Duke to get 44 percent of the vote?” Because there can’t be that many racists, haters, brooders, loathers and malcontents in any state, even Louisiana. "H ey, where you been hanging out lately, the reading room at the Do-Gooder Society? You stop in here and other joints like this, right?” ■ ; ■ ■ / E very opportunity I get, or that she allows. “ So what do you hear? You hear them talking about the plight of the underclass? You hear anybody saying that we got to do something about the teen-age unemployment in the inner city? You hear anyone saying: ‘Oh, I just admire these set-aside programs for minorities. And I ’m a big fan of equal opportunity hiring, and I just can’t tell you how much I love quotas. Whenever I pay m y income tax, it makes m e feel warm and cuddly knowing that I am going to help a welfare mother.’ You hear people say stuff like that?” Of course not. Those aren’t subjects that people chat about. “ Sure they do. Except they say: ‘Hey, (bleep) those programs, And ( bleep) those people on those programs. And I don’t want them to spend my (bleep) taxes on any of those (bleeps).’ You’ve heard that, ain’t you?” I suppose words to that effect, although not put so delicately. But I can’t believe that those sentiments are so widespread. “ Hey, they could get wider spread. W e’re heading intc hard times. The Dow and Jones are going into the tank. Our loan-shark pals, the Japanese, are pulling their money out. Ronald Reagan left us with the tab for the S&Ls. Now George Bush has got us up to our ears in sand fleas and angry Arabs. So when hard times come, what do people do?” They tighten their belts and pull together. “ What you been reading, ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ ? Nah, what people do when they’ve had it real good and figure they’re always going to have it real good, and then times ain’t so good, is they look around for somebody to get mad at. So this David Duke, he might be a louse, but he’s a smart louse.” Yes, but people w ill see through his mindless appeals to their baser instincts. This is too sophisticated a country to follow so obvious a demagogue. “ Yeah, you’re probably right. By the way, where was Beethoven from ?” Germany, o f course. “ I thought so. And those other guys, Brahms and Bach? And lots of others, too, huh? I mean high-class scholarly guys? Philosophers and writers? Lots of culture and all that? Real civilized and sophisticated?” Yes. But why do you ask? “ I just wondered what went wrong.” Oh, shut up. “ You’re welcom e.” E STATE PRESS SUZANNE ROSS Editor D I T O R I Film critique critiqued Editor: In the Oct. 15 issue of the State Press, in the College Culture section, there was a film critique by Jon Walz. He critiqued the film Henry andJune and gave it four stars. I found little fault in the article until I cam e to the point where Mr. W alz said that sex scenes in Henry and June w o u ld “ p r o b a b ly o n ly o ffe n d th e r e l i g i o u s fundamentalists who think that all sex is ‘bad.’ ” Speaking as a Christian who believes in the Bible, I disagree with the statement that “ all sex is ‘bad.*” Mr. Walz overlooked some important information. In Genesis chapter 1, verses 27-31 it says “ God created men in his own im age . . . m ale and fem ale he created them.” (27) In verse 28it says “ God blessed them and said unto them, be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth.” On down to 31 where the Bible states that “ God saw everything that he had made and it was very good.” Obviously this includes sex. I would hope that Mr. Walz would, in the interest of his own reputation, check his facts before making broad statements of other people’s beliefs.

O p in ion Stttt Prttn Page 5 Friday, O ctober 19,1990 Everyday felons W ork in g m others easy targets fo r gu ilt charges Ellen Goodman Washington Post Writers Group BOSTON — The way I learned it, every Am erican is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Under our system, you have the right to defend yourself. And if the accusation is serious enough, you have a right to a jury of your peers. What I have never figured out is why these rules don’t apply to the everyday crimes and misdemeanors of which we accuse ourselves. Why is it that we routinely find ourselves guilty? Why does that jury of ciur peers look suspiciously like a m irror image? Why doesn’t anybody read us our Miranda rights? Guilt is not a recent immigrant to the New World. Once upon a time, it was associated with that other big word, sin. There were Ten Commandments and if you broke them you w ere indeed guilty. To feel the weight of sin on your shoulders in Puritan America was no small thing. But in the intervening years, talk o f sin has receeded, and confessions of guilt have proliferated. Today people say they feel guilty about the weight of ice cream on their hips. F o r one b reifm om ent in the 1970s, I was OK, you were OK and guilt was a trip. In the 90s, however, guilt is a growth market. It’s developed by the diet industry, circulated by the health merchandisers, recycled by environmentalists. And in its improved version, targeted to the most reliable of consumers: mothers. In women’s magazines, guilt appears as frequently as Princess Di. Consider the survey that comes in this month’s Working Mother. This is one o f the magazines sold to the largest class of potential felons of our time: the women fo r whom the double shift has doubled the possible scenes o f crimes. The survey in question is entitled “ Guilty or Not Guilty.” (Innocence is out of the question. ) In its attempt to assess guilt, the magazine offers a staggering list of charges from which any Self-prosecutor can pick and choose. Here is a composite list o f the possible ways a working mother can blame herself . It is possible to feel guilty for: not spending enough time With your kids, hot spending enough tim e with your husband, not SOOT, PAL .

"Every time w e put a little pressure on them, they come up with a new twist and expand to something else." — who murdered his daughter, not someone who missed a school play. You want someone who should fe e l guilty about work? I ’ll give you Charles Keating at the Lincoln S&L, not someone who took a slide Friday. When you look at the questions in working mother, there is not a serious crim e on trial. But, as increasingly happens, the only emotion that gets registered is one that assumes wrongdoing. Is the woman who misses tim e with her kids really feeling guilty, or maybe sad? Is the woman who thinks she and her husband don’t have tim e alone really feeling guilty, or maybe lonely? There are a lot of difficult, conflicted feelings that don’t appear on the selfpunishing blotters. Anxiety, concern, worry, anger. None of these words assumes that it’s our fault. I am aware that guilt, especially motherguilt, has returned like the echo of the baby boom. But translating everything into this word is like mandatory sentencing: One emotion fits all. It doesn’t. W e are making charges fa r too casually. Indeed there is one crime being committed routinely with very little notice. It’s called making false accusations. And for that misdemeanor, there’s enough guilt to spread around. spending enough time at work. You can feel guilty because: you are flabby, messy, don’t cook enough, don’t travel enough or travel too much. You can feel guilty because: you watch too much television, your sexual desire has faded, you can’t go to parties or you enjoy your work more than your husband does, I suppose if you really work at it, you could feel guilty about all of the above. Or you could plea bargain half of them away and still do “ hie” with no time o ff for good behavior. I am not a card-carrying member of the feel-good brigade. An internal code of law and order has value. Guilt can be a prod to change as w ell as a whip for selfflagellation. But what bothers me is both the w a y that guilt has been trivialized and the way it has become a catchall word for a range of emotions that have nothing to do with blame. Guilt in m y dictionary comes a fter the word guillotine and describes “ a painful feeling from the belief that one has done something wrong or immoral,” One word for two mothers, one who fed her kid junk food and one that fed her kid crack? You want someone who should feel guilty about his kids?

Editor: It all started Wednesday morning when I got up groggy, late for work, and had clumps o f m argarine dripping from the corners o f m y eye sockets. I found m yself succumbing to peer pressure. I am not sure if this is due to general lack of maturity or just because of a behavioral trait passed down by m y father that causes m e to be a joiner. Anyway I decided to join the I HATE THURSTON HANSON CLUB. I saw this as an alternative to your having to serve as the sole vehicle for people to vent their frustrations against young men who know just enough o f the English language to be either a verbal or written irritant. This way you could pass on any hate m ail directed towards these people to us and w e could share in the therapeutic catharsis. Instead of running the daily Hate Hanson letter, you could Create a tally box to inform readers o f the number o f letters received the prior day. An activities committee could be form ed so w e could meet at one of the many brew clubs and share horror stories, or maybe m eet at a local street corner and verbally abuse any man walking by that seems to fa ll under the Thurston Hanson category. An annual event could be held where we w ou ld' indoctrinate the year’s most repulsive ASU m ale into the Thurston Hanson Hall o f Fame. J e ff Simpson Undeclared Graduate Student Time fo r everything Editor: Athletes, do you seriously believe that your tim e schedule is any m ore complex o r constricted than any other student at ASU? I don’t, in fact let m e submit for comparison one group o f students whose lives are exponentially more tiresome and inhibited than yours — the working parent/student. This subspecies o f students must meticulously allocate their 24-hour day between school, fam ily, and place of employment, yet miraculously manages to register. Despite the added responsibilities (job, spouse, kids), working parent/students don’t whine for special registration privileges, instead they adapt to the process by learning to preregister and budget time. How clever! Granting special regisration privileges to athletes not only cheats all other students, but erodes at the principle mission of the University, academics. Something is amiss in the education system when w e say academics are getting in the w ay of athletics. , Mike Demlong Graduate Student Page 6 State Press Friday, O ctober 19,1990 takes up arm s r on the MUAB By CHRISTINA SCHROEDER State Press ASU’s supergroups are going to war. “ It’s like the Third World versus the First World superpowers,” said Tom Neumann, chairman of the MU Activities Board. “ But it’s going to be a lot o f fun.” The lines are drawn for a “ w ar games” battle on Saturday between the MUAB and Associated Students of ASU. Student L ife ’s REACH, another ASU organization, will join the ranks o f the MUAB because of their sm aller size., The quasi-battle between the student organizations will occur in the Arizona desert just north of Fountain Hills. An entry fee of $20 is required, and each participant will receive a weapon and 20 paint balls, a C02 cartridge, high impact racing goggles, face mask and a team arm band. “ T h e r e w ill be a p p ro x im a te ly 80 participants taking part in the games who are -all involved in ASU organizations,” Neumann said. “ This event has really aided in networking our committees together a lot better, as w ell.” The event started innocently enough when MUAB members threw around the idea of having a w argam es activity between themselves, Neumann said, adding that to bring costs down, they decided to challenge ASASU. “ First they stole m y Bill the Cat doll sitting on my desk and held it hostage,” said Neumann. ASASU representative Chris Schumann said his organization has taken a laid back approach to the M UAB’s teasing. “ Those guys (the M U A B ) are a bunch of comedians over there,” the air force veteran said. “ A lot o f threats have been made, but w e’re going to show them out in the woods. “ They’ll be counting the bodies.” Haydens Ferry Review A S U ’ s N a t io n a l L it e r a r y M a g a z in e M atthew s Center, Basem ent ufi G A M M A G E P R E S E N T S E N T E R T A IN M E N T 1 01 O n e E x p e r ie n c e A panel of German and American public policy experts agreed Thursday that the e c o n o m ic a l, m ilit a r y and p o lit ic a l implications of the recent unification of East and West Germany will spread beyond the new nation’s borders.
