Fife Symington’s promised request for a midyear take-back in the fiscal 1992 budget is late in arriving at the Legislature, and th at has some lawm akers and University officials worried. The midyear cuts, which usually arrive at the Legislature by mid-January, are not expected until sometime next week. Sen. David Bartlett, D-Tucson, House majority whip and a member of the Senate A ppropriations Committee, said the governor’s overdue request worried him. “Last year we had completed our work on midyear recisions by Feb. 2,” he said. The Senate Appropriations Committee will make recommendations to the full Senate about the revertments after it receives requests from the governor’s office. Bartlett said he does not know when to expect the requests. “I hope it is sooner not later. I think they got more concerned about their own dilemma,’’ Bartlett said, referring to recent layoffs and budget cuts in the governor’s office announced on Tuesday. “I’m sure glad we run the state like a business,’’ he added. Tim Boncoskey, special assistant to Symington’s Budget Director Peter Burns, said Wednesday the governor will request a midyear budget cut of 2 to 3 percent, which the Legislature would receive on Monday or Tuesday. The midyear budget cut would require state agencies, including ASU, to give back part of the money appropriated for the current year. Boncoskey added, “Peter (Burras) is still tinkering with it.” Burns said Wednesday that he has not talked to the governor about his budget cut recommendation, so "he would not give a percentage. He added that the request would be presented to the Legislature sometime next week, but said he could not give the exact day. Burns said he would not respond to Bartlett. “I don’t want to get into a tit-for-tat kind of a thing through the media,” he said. Burns said the lateness was partly due to December’s special session to reduce an T arn to Budget cuts, page 9 ‘Correct’ speech issue debated b y Linear lunch noted opponents By SONDRA ROBERTO State P ress Sheila Murk», a 21-year-old Junior lin e arts major, enjoys the warm weather W ednesday by eating her lunch outside the Nelson Fine Arte Building. Both the “politically correct” and the “politically oppressed” gathered in the MU Arizona Room Wednesday night for a debate between an ASU law professor and a former White House policy analyst about the controversial cultural sensitivity issue. Best-selling author and former White House aid Dinesh D’Souza and Professor Charles Calleros presented opposing views of “PC” to about 250 students, faculty and staff. The debate was sponsored by Associated Students of ASU as part of the group’s Political Union series. Calleros called political correctness a “fashionable buzz­ word these days, especially as a conservative jab against political sensibilities.” But Calleros, former chairman of ASU’s Campus Environment Team, said some forms of political correctness are “perfectly legitimate.” He said one example is female fihiHpnts who,prefer to be called women rather than girls. “If I slip and a student criticizes me for using the demeaning label (girls), that’s not an illegitimate penalty to impose upon me,” he said. “She’s exercising her right to free speech.” Only when opposing views of politically correct views are stifled does PC become “political oppression,” Calleros said. D’Souza said Callero’s version of political correctness could be called “PC light” saying his opinions were Turn to Debate, page 9* Migraine headaches brought on by stress and lifestyle as an ASU teaching assistant. “They seem to coincide mainly with stressful times,” said Culver, a 25-year-old single parent and graduate student studying art history.

Dr. Barbara Szekely, director of the Headache and Pain Center of Behavioral Medicine in Phoenix, said migraines are genetically predisposed, and are triggered by a multitude of factors.

Basler went through career placement at Oklahoma State and interviewed with recruiters from some of the oil companies that came to campus —but he didn’t get any job offers. “A lot of people are mad because we spend four years in college getting a good degree and still can’t get a job,’’ said Basler. If he had gotten a job offer, Basler said he wouldn’t have returned, to school. And he isn’t the only one. Many recent graduates are coming back to get advanced degrees to gain a competitive edge or to seek shelter from the stormy job market; Applications to graduate schools across the country have increased 10 to 15 percent Total num ber o f applications to graduate school per year j .

The number of applications to graduate programs at the state’s three universities also is on the rise. “Historically, when times get bad, people look to retooling,” said Brian Foster, dean of ASU’s graduate college. “That means coming back to school and learning new skills.’’ But Jean Eisel, director of career services at ASU, said often when people feel like they’ve reached a dead end they “do what they know best, which is education, and really what they need is information.’’ The decision to go to' graduate school shouldn’t be a panic reaction, Eisel said. “What happens sometimes is people go to graduate school and think it’s going to make a decision for them,’’ she said. ’’And i t doesn’t do that.’’ She emphasized that graduate School requires a substantial commitment of time and money and is not a career guarantee. And an advanced degree may not be right for everyone, Eisel warned. “We don’t spend enough time looking at what we’re good at, what motivates us,” said Eisel. G raduate students a re hoping an advanced degree will distinguish them from job-seekers with undergraduate degrees. Marge Fry, supervisor for graduate admissions at ASU, said, “It’s almost essential that people have advanced degrees because there are more people receiving bachelor’s degrees, and they’re almost a dime a dozen.” “On the whole, the job prospects aren’t great,” said Foster, but he thinks people with master’s degrees have a competitive edge. M aster of business adm inistration candidate Gerry Huston is optimistic about the power of an advanced degree. “ After leaving here, I’ll be more marketable in the job world,” said Huston. Huston said he’s not nervous about trying to find a job when he graduates. “I think the world ought to be nervous of me,” he said. But Basler is more conservative about his prospects in the economically hard-hit aerospace arena, which he hopes to break into after graduation. “According to my adviser, a good aerospace master’s student can get a pretty good job,” Basler said. He hopes the industry will turn around by 1993 when he is scheduled to graduate. Eisel encouraged students and alumni to take advantage of the the resources at career services.

Public and private economists agreed any meaningful recovery is months away. The C om m erce D e p artm en t said Wednesday the minuscule growth — at an annual rate of 0.3 percent — in the gross domestic product was due mainly to a spurt in exports and a modest revival in the housing sector. And some experts contend those gains will prove short-lived. .Most other components of the GDP showed little or no strength, including consumer spending, which accounts for twothirds of the nation’s economic activity and is essential for any sustained growth. For the year, the GDP sank 0.7 percent, the first annual decline since a 2.2 percent drop in 1982, the final year of the previous recession. The GDP is the nation’s total domestic output of goods and services. “Basically, it says the economy is stalled,’’ Sung Won Sohn, an economist with the Norwest Corp. in Minneapolis. “The economy was treading water at the end of the year,’’ concurred Mark Zandi of Regional Financial Associates in West Chester, Pa. Acting Commerce Secretary Rockwell Schnabel called the sluggishness “clear and convincing evidence’’ of the need for quick congressional enactment of the economic growth package President Bush outlined Tuesday night in his State of the Union message. Still, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told Congress on Wednesday the central bank is beginning to see “some very subtle signs that the erosion in the economy is beginning to stabilize.” He also suggested “this economy can move out of this extreme lethargy with monetary policy alone” and without the huge tax cuts that Bush and many congressmen are proposing. Even with the growth package and the impact of lower interest rates, a sustained recovery will not begin before spring, cautioned Commerce chief economist Antonio Villamil at a news conference. Zandi agreed, saying, “We should begin to see more signs of growth by summer and maybe as late as fall in response to the significant drop in interest rates and perhaps as a result of any fiscal stimulus.” But any growth this year is likely to be sub par, compared to other post-World War II recoveries, many economists agree. Sohn, for instance, projects the GDP will grow about 2 percent this year, just a third of the 6 percent average growth during the first year of recent recoveries. The economy sank into recession in July 1990 and, after declining at a 3.9 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter and 2.5 percent in the first three months of 1991, showed signs of a weak revival. But it stalled again in late summer, prompting concerns it might be headed for the fifth double-dip recession since World W arll. A price index tied to the GDP showed the weak economy continued to dampen inflationary pressures. Prices rose at an annual rate of just 1.7 percent from October through December, down from 2.1 percent in the third quarter. For the year, inflation rose 3.6 percent, down from a 4.2 percent increase in I990 and the lowest since prices increased 3.2 percent in 1987.

MOSCOW (AP) —Boris Yeltsin unveiled an ambitious plan to cut nuclear weapons spending Wednesday and urged the United States and other nuclear powers to “move much farther along the road” to disarmament. And in a dramatic shift away from more than 40 years of Cold War hostility, the Russian president said his republic’s nuclear warheads would no longer be aimed at any targets in the United States. Yeltsin’s first major pronouncement on disarmament came only a few hours after President Bush proposed in his State of the Union speech that the United States and Russia take big bites from their nuclear arsenals. In a nationwide broadcast, Yeltsin told the Russian people he is ending production of two big bombers and long-range cruise missiles and stopping development of new offensive nuclear weapons. Those were among several cutbacks in nuclear programs designed to reduce Russian military spending 10 percent this year, on top of last »year’s 20 percent cut. That will allow Russia to focus more resources on urgent consumer needs and restructure its crippled economy. As his taped speech was broadcast, Yeltsin told Secretary of State James A. Baker III Russia would no longer target its long-range missiles on U. S. civilian or military sites. On Saturday, Yeltsin said in a television interview that Russia would not aim at U.S. cities, but he did not mention military bases. “We no longer view the United States as a foe,” Russian Turn to Yeltsin, page 8. Soldiers death still questioned NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nearly a year after Army Cpl. Douglas Lance Fielder’s death from “friendly fire” during the Persian Gulf War, his father has lost faith. He doesn’t know if the Army will answer the questions that haunt him about why his 22-year-old son died Feb. 27,1991, after he was hit by machine-gun fire from a cavalry squadron, even though another cavalry unit had ordered firing stopped. He wants to know who is responsible, and whether the Army conspired to cover up the circumstances of his son’s death at an Iraqi deseri airfield. Fielder is convinced the only way to get all the facts is a court-martial of Lt. Col. John Daly, commander of the, squadron that fired on Lánce Fielder’s small group of combat engineers. Daly has been told by Army investigators not to discuss the case until an investigation is complete, said an Army spokesman a t Fort Bliss, Texas, where Daly commands the troop of the 3rd Regiment of the 3rd Armored Cavalry. Daly has declined all interview requests. Fielder also wants to know why the commander of his son’s unit, a troop of the 7th Engineering Brigade of the 1st Armored Division, left his son and two other soldiers in the desert with a broken-down vehicle and no radio. Fielder and his former wife, Debbie Shelton, pinned hopes on House Armed Services Investigative Subcommittee hearings Thursday into the 35 “friendly fire” deaths in the Gulf War. The panel originally was to have begun work on the subject Wednesday. “I feel violated and abandoned by a government that I trusted,” said Fielder, a 21-year veteran of the Nashville police force. His 6-foot-5 son was awarded a Bronze star for valor for organizing his unit’s defenses after his superior, Sgt. James E. Napier, was wounded. Shelton says she continues a barrage of letters to the Army and elected officials because her son “hated a lie and he loved the Army. If this had happened to one of his friends he would have spent the rest of his life seeking justice.” The Army first said Fielder — who was promoted to sergeant about 30 hours after his death —was killed in battle with Iraq’s Republican Guard. Two months later, a fellow soldier called the parents and told them Daly’s squadron attacked Fielder’s unit, killing Fielder and wounding Napier. Official Army notification came Aug. 12. In October, The Washington Post published letters by Capt. B. H. Friesen charging that Daly and Col. Douglas H. Starr, then commander of the 3rd Regiment, were responsible for Fielder’s death. Friesen, a troop commander under Daly, said he fired warning shots and led his unit against Fielder’s group, thinking they were Iraqi. Friesen said he was puzzled by a lack of return fire from Fielder’s unit and ordered a cease fire. “A cease fire was already in effect when LTC Daly arrived at the airfield. I had given the command several times and my second-in-command had relayed the order to the squadron command post on the radio frequency monitored by LTC Daly,” Friesen wrote. However, he said, Daly’s unit opened fire. The Washington Poet reported on Oct. 20 that Daly told investigators in a sworn statement: “They started to flee T o n i to Fielder, page 8.

Opinion Thursday, Jamm y 30,1998__________ _____________________________________ ____________ E22LÍ P lW t Truth told by 0* Souza The debate over the existence of political correctness between ASU Associate Dean and Law Professor Charles Calleros and the Dinesh D’Souza, the author of Illiberal Education, offered an honest opportunity for thought on deeply rooted, politically charged issues. Calleros was compelling in his argum ents, contending that political correctness is a politically neutral term — abused by both the left and the right whenever expedient, C a lle ro s d e fe n d e d his p o sitio n by describing the way a multi-ethnic coalition of students united to p ro te st a racially degrading flie r posted in th e Cholla A partm ents la st spring. The coalition successfully pressured the owners of the flier to take it down through persuasive speech. In presenting the issue with absolute objectivity, Calleros showed that free and open d ebate am ong com peting ideas, however offensive, is alive and well a t ASU. The position that Calleros defended was valid and was vindicated in the type of open forum th at is supposedly impossible in a politically correct arena — which only furthered the im pact of his message. U n f o r tu n a te ly , th e p o in t C a lle ro s vindicated was secondary. Calleros missed the entire underlying issue. D ’Souza took up and affirm ed that the foundation of w estern civilization — the idea that humanity can and ought to be a universal community of the mind, cultivated by open thought without reference to genetic or national origin — is under a subtle, but full-scale attack. D’Souza’s m ain point was that, contrary to to MLK’s ideals, today’s generation of civil r i g h ts leaders preaches ethnic separatism — rath er titan a color-blind society. The conservative scholar accu rately exposed the underlying thought involved in hiring and student-acceptance methods involving racial preference. D ’Souza e ffe ctiv ely e sta b lis h e d the necessity of a color-blind university , respecting neither race nor nationality. Instead, he supported the use of valid and persuasive argum ents. The surest way to avoid the abuses of political correctness is through an objective and open m arketplace of ideas. íSü THE EVOLUTION 0 F 7 A H Fried Future Suntanned students w ill suffer Now that the temperature has crept back into the mid-70s and sunny skies shine with regularity, the palefaces and sun bunnies can be seen lying out on grassy patches all over ASU, From the balconies of apartment complexes to the perimeters of local swimming pools, sun worshippers are trying to attract the advantages of a dark complexion. These individuals seem so ob­ sessed with getting and maintain­ ing the “perfect tan” that they are ignoring the risks involved. In my Biology of Race class I have learned a few things about the harmful effects of suntanning on fair-skinned people. ‘If it -were meantfo r you to have dark skin , . . you would have it naturally-you would not have to lie outfo r hours.... To begin, overly exposing your body to ultraviolet sun rays with the intention of temporarily darkening your complexion seems absolutely illogical to me. The darkening of your skin will be temporary, but the health problems involved could be permanent. Tanning excessively is said to cause premature aging of the skin, painful peeling of the skin, possible eye problems and skin cancer.

Is it really worth the risk? •What good is a nice tan if in 10 years you will lode like you have aged 20? •What good is a having a dazzling complexion if you may develop skin lesions as a result of overexposure to the sun? •What good is having a deep tan if you suffer a premature death from skin cancer. I would say there is something wrong with continuing an activity that can only produce negative results. ‘Skin cancer rates are highest among fairskinned people-those who are most often lying out overexposing themselves’ I guess I should expect this behavior from a society filled with smokers who are fully aware that smoking causes throat and lung cancer. If the health risks aren’t enough to make you think twice, maybe the inconveniences that may occur will. •If you happen to lie out too long, you can’t put your clothing on correctly. •If you lie out too long, you can’t walk without pain from your clothing rubbing up against your skin. •Peeling skin will neutralize the effect you had hoped to achieve through tanning. •Is peeling skin attractive or something? Some believe that if you go to a tanning salon you avoid the harmful effects, but this is not true. The red/orange-tinted skin of tan Salon regulars is really the body’s equivalent of rust being produced. If it were m eant for you to have dark skin, coppertoned skin or reddish-orange skin, you would have it naturally — you would not have to lie out for hours to get it. Biology has given us the laws of nature. I suppose I’ll have to look to theologians and psychologists to understand why • people attempt to deny those laws.

The world of science is delirious with excitement over the discovery of new, efficient ways to get elec­ I t I ik e tricity from here to there. Or there KOYKO to here, I suppose. It’s said that these recent dis­ coveries will have an enormous Tribune impact on the economy and our Media lifestyles and make possible all Services sorts of wondrous technological advances. One scientist was quoted in this newspaper as saying about con­ ductors: “ Nothing like this has ever happened in science before.” Another said: “ Superconduc­ tiv ity developm ents a re the m ost exciting new breakthroughs of our lives. It will change the way we live.” With all respect for the scientists, I have my doubts about that. Changing the way we live, I mean. For example, nothing I’ve read has said that this amazing breakthrough will lead to the elimination of some of the most terrible curses known to modern man —the rush-hour traffic jam, flavorless tomatoes, devious politicians or goofs who talk during movies. Every few., years, scientists insist on telling us that something new and amazing will change our lives. But what happens? The military uses the new development to refine the methods we might use to blow up the world. And the rest of us wake up with the same problems, bills, aches and pains. Consider the transistor, which replaced the vacuum tube and was hailed as one of the great inventions of the ages. What did it give us? A sub-race of zombies who shuffle or jog Le tte rs---------Diversity means do the right thing Dear Editor: It seems that much has been lost in the discussions regarding minority faculty at ASU. We have Afro-Americans protesting about the lack thereof, and we have AngloAmericans stating that the Afro-Americans must be racist because they are concerned about the faculty skin color. What it all boils down to is diversity. Supply and demand Is not the issue. There are Afro-Anferican faculty members all over the United States, and some are already here at ASU. An all-out effort should be made to keep them here. When that fails to happen, there is a growing “concern.” Case in point: I took a class with V.P. Franklin in the spring of 1988 on black history. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Franklin went on sabbatical (never to return, as he received a better offer elsewhere) and the two courses that he taught have since disappeared. This is a major concern among Afro-American students. Why this should be so hard to understand is beyond me. If, perhaps, Anglo-Americans looked up and the majority of faculty were from minority groups, they would understand and would more than likely do a little complaining themselves (you never know until you wear the same shoes). It is apparent that Anglos have nothing much to complain about since the majority of the faculty are of Anglo persuasion. What the Afro-Americans want is simply to be able to relate to a few educators who understand the struggle of obtaining education in a world that is backsliding into racism and to take some classes in black history which are not offered by many other faculty of other races. A statement made in a State Press letter indicated that Afro-American faculty are to blame since their loyalties are to the a l m i g h t y dollar and not the students they le a v e beh in d a t ASU. This is aq i n a p p r o p r i a t e statement since most faculty ' opt to leave if an offer they deem equitable is not matched by ASUSo let’s stop griping and just do the right thing if the budget mandates that we can’t do any additional hiring because the through life with Walkman radios attached to their heads. T hat’s why I’m skeptical about most scientific breakthroughs. I’ve seen few of them lead to a genuine improvement in the way we live. Have any of them eliminated the hangover? And that has led me to compile a list of what I consider to be some of the most important inventions of my lifetime. It isn’t a comprehensive list, of course, and others may have their own choices. If so, you might send them to me and I’ll add them to the list. In no particular order, here are my choices. The automatic car wash, especially the kind that lets you shove a slug in a slot and squirt hot wax on your car. The automatic car wash has freed millions of men from the weekend ritual of slopping soap on their sneakers and has permitted them to do more important things, such as nothing. The cut-proof golf ball. Scientists have estimated that this amazing advancement has eliminated so much stress that the average golfer’s life has been extended by two and a half years, I made that up, but it’s probably true anyway. The remote-control channel changer. The world would have been better off if TV had never been invented. What would we have missed — Sam Donaldson? But as long as we’re- stuck with it, it’s nice to be able to flip through the channels effortlessly to see if there’s anything lewd going on. The automatic ice cube maker. I can’t imagine what life is like in societies that don’t have this device. It’s little wonder that there is so much discontent in the Third World. The one-size-fits-all men’s stocking.

Chandra Scott School of Public Affairs No MLK day Dear Editor: After reading Andrew Abate’s letter, I see he was right. My reasons against a King holiday are “transparent excuses” and are actually proof that King “epitomizes the values and ideals which this nation claims to hold most dear.” I know of King only from records and the media since I was born in 1969 and never had the opportunity to meet the man. History tells me that he had good intentions in making changes through peace. These traits I admire. Andrew solved my real problem with a King holiday. The “American ideals” part is what showed me the light, When I considered the popular American men of the ’50s and ’60s most talked about I realized that King comes in the top three with Elvis and JFK. Up until recently these three had a monopoly on being historical womanizers. As I say, I’ve learned this from the media, so maybe it isn’t true. But if I discount the stories about his having affairs, I should be fair and not believe that he was a leader in the civil rights movement as well. I always thought this was a handicap to honoring a leader in the civil rights movement. I mean, a married reverend and church pastor with children, preaching about equal rights seems natural, but the same man makes it into the top three of his time in terms of having affairs? That just never made sense. In fact, I always saw it as contradictory. Seriously, I don’t mean to downplay King’s work for civil rights, but shouldn’t that ideal include the women be seems to have been using? I would like to see a “Civil Rights Day” enacted. I think that it would fit with Labor Day and Veteran’s Day, even though Mr. Abate seems to think these exclude minorities. It seems racist to me to make a holiday for King because he’s a minority. King could be traditionally honored on a Civil Rights Day just as Lincoln and Washington are traditionally honored on President’s Day. Didn’t Lincoln have something to do with equality? Maybe it’s the media again. 660R SH BUSH, IN F R K foL L , PAUSES TO ASK DIRECTIONS TOTHÊ STATE O F THE UNWNI. Finally, Mr. Abate, if you’re tired of marching and fighting, give it a rest. Implying that anyone who opposes a King holiday is racist doesn’t speak well for you. Jack KUgler Senior, Aeronautical Engineering MLK issue clouded with misinformation Dear Editor: I am writing to comment on the opinions of Andrew Abate, as stated in the Jan. 28 Letters to the Editor section. This man’s view is a perfect example of ignorance at work. He tries to tell us that Arizona is obviously a racist state and that this is “the logical conclusion drawn by the rest of the nation.” Mr. Abate, you need to be taught a few things. First of all, Arizona is not, I repeat, not the only state in the U.S. not to have a paid King holiday. Several other states have an unpaid King holiday just as Arizona, but none of the bad press. The difference here in Arizona is that the public voted on the issue and had a shot of voting in a paid King holiday. No other state’s population had this chance. This brings me to my second point. The reason a paid King holiday was not voted in was due to the wording on the ballot. The question of the holiday was worded in such a way as to split the “yes” votes between two separate proposals, one exchanging Columbus Day for King Day and the other retaining Columbus Day and adding King Day. Those who wanted a King; Day either voted yes on one or yes on the other, and no on the unchosen option. Those who did not want such a holiday voted no on both. In this scenario, out of 10Q voters, if 49 voted yes on one and 49 voted yes on the other, all it would take is two who voted no on both to have both issues voted down. And just because someone voted no on both does not imply that their motives were bigoted. It most probably was true for some, yet o th e r s ’ m o tiv e s could ste m from m isinform ation, supposed economic implications, or feeling of a lack of freedom based on bully tactics , such as those used by some NFL affiliates and numerous other groups. Mr. A bate also re fe rs to fo rm er Gov. Mecham as a blatant bigot., All judgement aside, Mr. Abate, Mecham is long gone (and good riddance) ! Mr. Abate tells us he is tired of supposed “closet bigots,” tired of the opinion that an unpaid holiday may be enough and tired of people who hold different opinions than his own. Well, Mr. Abate, do you know what I’m tired of?! I’m tired of ignorant people like yourself drawing false conclusions and saying all of Arizona i$ racist! Before you decide to judge an entire state, at least get your facts straight! Tom Filiaggi Junior, Meteorology State Press Jhursda£January3^1992_ Page 6 M any p riso n ers te st p o sitiv e fo r drug u se By RICHARD RU ELAS State Prase Almost half of all male suspects brought into the Maricopa County Jail test positive for drugs, the second-lowest percentage of 24 cities in a Department of Justice study released Wednesday. The figure comes from a report conducted by the Drug Use Forecasting Program in the first three months of 1991. Phoenix’s 49 percent figure ranks it 23rd among 24 cities tested. Captain Margaret Grane, who books prisoners into the Maricopa County Jail, said she does not find the numbers unusual, pointing to the fact that other large cites ranked far higher t e n Phoenix. “Obviously there is a drug problem in this country,’’ she said, adding that she hopes enforcement and education in schools Will hopefully bring drug use down. “The only thing you can do is try.” Of the 49 percent testing positive in Phoenix, 11 percent “I don’t think there’s been a marked increase or decrease” in had used two or more drugs, 33 percent had used marijuana drug use by arrestees. Sgt. A1 Taylor of the Tempe Police Department was not and 18 percent used cocaine. Among females booked into the facility, the total suprised by the numbers either. “We see a lot of people come through here that appear to be percentage of those testing positive for illegal drugs rose to 68 percent, with 29 percent of those testing postive for two or on drugs,” adding that officers’ jobs are made harder when more drugs, 18 percent using marijuana and 47 percent using they have to arrest people who are high. The data was collected over a two-week period in each city. cocaine. The highest ranking belonged to San Diego, with DUF agents interviewed approximately 226 males, 79 percent, while Omaha, Neb., ranked one below Phoenix undersampling those brought in for drug offenses, “because such persons are likely to be using drugs at arrest.” with 42 percent. Agents generally excluded driving offenses as well, “due to To collect the data, complying arrestees were given urine tests and the specimens were sent to a central lab for DUF’s emphasis on more serious crimes.” The drugs tested for were cocaine, opiates, marijuana, analysis. Suspects who had used marijuana or PCP within several weeks of their arrest would test positive. Most other PCP, m ethadone, benzodiazepines, m ethaqualone, drugs would test positive if used two to three days prior to propoxyphene, barbituates and amphetamines. All positive amphetamine results were confirmed by gas arrest. Grane said that in the year since the survey was conducted, chromatography to eliminate positives caused by over-thecounter drugs.

W right, in plainclothes, and another canine officer with their dogs chased the man into the yard. Homeowner Mitchell J Mock, 26, heard a commotion in his yard and shot Wright, believing him to be an intruder. Wright, who returned fire but missed Mock, then was bitten by his colleague’s dog, sustaining a minor injury. Meanwhile, the man escaped, but officers located him about 50 minutes later, back at the apartm ent complex — holding a hostage. He walked out onto a balcony at least' twice, holding the hostage at gunpoint. Assistant Police Chief J.J. Hobbs said R a m ir e z h a d t h r e a t e n e d d u rin g negotiations with police to kill the hostage, identified as Dennis R. Vaillancourt, 25. But Ramirez’s mother was brought to the scene, “and she conversed with him, and that was real helpful in attaining the release” of the apparently uninjured Vaillancourt, Villasenor said. At the apartment, no shots were fired, he added. Villansenor said Ramirez apparently was acquainted with both Ms. Belcher and Vaillancourt, though to what extent was unknown. He also said there were “several theories that are floating around at this point,” about possible motives, which investigators sought to unravel. Asked if drugs were involved, Villasenor said, “We don’t know at this point. We’re still looking at that.” TUCSON (AP) —A man allegedly slashed a woman’s throat in a church courtyard, then led police on a chase in which a homeowner shot an officer before the suspect took an apartment dweller hostage for more than 10 hours. He finally surrendered without further violence Wednesday afternoon. The bizarre drama ended about 1p.m. when a man police identified as Albert Ramirez surrendered to police. Ramirez was taken into custody, and later in the day was booked into the Pima County Jail on charges of attempted murder, kidnapping, aggravated assau lt and burglary, officials said. Sgt. R oberto V illasenor, a police spokesman, said Renee Belcher, 42, Was slashed on the throat. She was in serious condition at University Medical Center, according to a hospital spokeswoman. In 'fair condition at the hospital was Officer Phil Wright, 36, who was shot in the abdomen by a homeowner who mistook him for an intruder during the chase-. The strange chain of events began about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, when a man slashed Ms. Belcher’s throat in the courtyard of Sacred Heart Church. The woman made it to a nearby residence, and officers answering a call for help wont to the woman’s apartment in the complex to check on her children. there, they saw a man they believed to be her attacker jump from a balcony and flee. ohe w o rn ? 15 YEARS EXPERIENCE Honaat, QualHy Repairs at Fair Prie«» ORIGINATOR OF THE $ 1 4 .9 5 CASTROL OIL A FILTER CHANGE! $14.95 8om* Aoura Lagmdi •lightly hignir LU B E-O IL-FILTE R Lubricate your vehicle & chassis drain old oil. add up to 5 qts. c new oil and install a new oil filter.

State Prest Page " Thursday, January 30,1998 Cam pus clu b s p rom ote n ew m em bership By SEAN OPENSHAW State Press Traffic on Cady Mall slowed Wednesday as students took time to dodge balloons, pick up information and ask questions about campus clubs. . Seventy-three booths were spread put on West Lawn as part of an Activities Fair sponsored by the Associated Students of ASU and REACH, an organization that connects campus groups, to let students know about clubs and organizations on campus. “I think it’s a very good outlet for people to come see the different organizations, to get kind of a hands-on feel for the different clubs that are here (at ASU),” said Shelly Kleca, special events director. ASU President Lattie Coor weaved his way through the slowly moving crowd with a smile, saying hello to people sitting at the different booths. Coor said club involvement gives students a connection to the University arid access to friends and events that can broaden their educational experience. “Students regularly say to me that their organizational affiliations are one of their most rewarding experiences at ASU,” Coor said. The fair is put on twice a year and averages between 80 to 90 booths during the fall semester and 60 to 70 booths for the spring semester. Wednesday marked the fifth year of the fair's existence. “There are over 300 different organizations on campus, and the clubs that are out here give a good representation, so students really get a feel for student organizations,” said REACH president Mike Perlman. 3 Clubs represented at the fair ranged from religious and international organizations to professional and support groups. Dana Clark, a freshman who took his time reading the different signs taped to the tables that lined both sides of the sidewalk, said none of the organizations caught his eye. However, he said he might look more seriously if he had the time to join a club. “I just don’t have the time,” Clark said. Tran Pho and Dodie Lee from the Asian Students Association greeted students and invited them to their first general meeting on Thursday. “We’re having a party tomorrow,” Lee said to marketing junior Yeh Chang-Ching as he signed a roster. “I might join,” Chang-Ching said as he pushed his bike past the other tables. “I belong to a lot of other clubs but I can at least sign my name to show support.” Holding down fliers so they would not blow away, Chin Chae„vice president of the Korean Undergraduate Student Association, said it is hard to tell if the fair increases the groups membership. “Most Korean students already know each other and belong to our organization through word of mouth,” he said. “But it is a good way to recruit newcomers to ASU by letting them know that we’re here and looking for them.” The booths were made up of tables placed end-to-end down the sidewalk in rows covering the lawn. Hanging from each table were signs, posters and photographs that represented the activities of each organization. Brightly colored balloons tied to strings hovered above the tables and occasionally entangled passing students. Sean Opanshaw/State Press C h ris French, president of the ASU Student Foundation, takes a minute between cla sse s to see how his organization's booth is doing at the A ctivities Fair on W est Law n, W ednesday. Tammy Wang, an economics sophomore from the Japan Association said that the fair gives students a better idea of the kind of people in an organization and what to expect if they join. “It is really hard for students to find out what clubs are available on campus, and this gives them a chance to see what’s here,” he said.

P erso n a l consum ption had jum ped 2.3 percent from July through September and helped boost third-quarter GDP by a 1.8 percent annual rate. “There is no sign that consumers are ready to forge ahead,” observed Kermit Baker of Cahners Economics in Newton, Mass. He cited the latest survey by the widely respected Conference Board showing consumer confidence continuing to erode in January. Business investment in plants and equipment fell for the fifth straight quarter, down at a 2.4 percent annual rate. G o v e rn m e n t s p e n d in g w as down 5.9 percent, its third consecutive decline. Exports soared at a 15.4 percent rate in the October-December quarter, but many economists expressed concern this source of strength would dissipateas the economies of America’s trading partners continue to weaken. Without the export component, the GDP would have been negative, Villamil said. Another bright spot in the report was a 10.6 percent jump in housing construction which is coming out of its worst year since World War II. But even with the lowest mortgage rates in nearly 20 years, analysts contend growth in this industry this year will be modest at best. The various changes boosted GDP at an annual rate of $3.6 billion, putting it at $4,866 trillion in the fourth quarter, after adjustment for inflation. In early December, the GDP replaced the gross national product as the nation’s broadest measure of economic health. The difference is that the GDP measures output within the United States while the GNP included profits earned by U. S. companies on their overseas operations. Y e lt s in Continued from page 3- Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev told reporters after the m a t ing He said Yeltsin intended “to establish a completely new relationship between the United States and Russia.” Yeltsin did not speak for Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, the other former Soviet republics that have strategic nuclear weapons on their soil. All four agreed last month to put nuclear weapons under a joint command, but there have been tensions among them about dividing up the former Soviet military. Marlin Fitzwater, the White House press secretary, said Yeltsin’s announcement “certainly sets the stage for very productive talks” at Saturday’s meeting between Bush and Yeltsin at the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md. Manfred Woemer, secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Said Yeltsin “has committed himself to a path of large and swift cuts in nuclear weapons.” Bush, in his speech Tuesday, offered to eliminate 1,500 of the 2,000 warheads on U. S. land-based long-range missiles, cut the warheads on sea-based missiles by a third and convert some bombers to non-nuclear roles. He said Russia would have to eliminate the most potent land-based missiles in its arsenal — 154 SS-18s and 92 SS-24s that carry a total of 2,460 warheads. Yeltsin said Russia has decided to: •Take off alert about 600 land- and sea-based long-range missiles carrying 1,250 warheads. Russia is believed to have about 1,035 missiles with 17,000 warheads. •Cut Hie number of missile-launching submarines on patrol by half, and end all such patrols if the United States does the same. It also will dismantle the launchers aboard six missile submarines. •Stop production of TU-160 “Black Jack” and TU-95MS “Bear” bombers, the most powerful in the world, and of airand sea-based cruise missiles. •Halt programs to modernize long-range offensive nuclear weapons, •Cut weapons purchases by 50 percent, decreasing the defense budiget by a tenth. Perhaps the most dramatic move was Yeltsin’s decision to stop targeting nuclear missiles on the United States. “No longer will they be aimed at military or civilian targets,” Kozyrev said. “We decided today we would find ways of implementing this decision.” Baker said the United States would consider reciprocating. “This issue will be discussed in some detail and depth,” he said. Even as they moved away from nuclear confrontation, Bush and Yeltsin agreed to pursue a cooperative plan for a partial space-based defense against nuclear attack. “There are risks of missile attacks from a number of countries,” Baker said at a joint news conference with Kozyrev. Baker did not identify any potential enemies. Yeltsin’s announcement made plain he intends to maintain the momentum of former Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev in cutting back defense spending. “I want to emphasize that we are not talking about our unilateral nuclear disarmament,” Yeltsin said in his speech. “The United States is taking parallel steps in a gesture of goodwill. It is now possible and necessary to move much farther along this road.” informed Daly before the assault that friendly forces were in the area. Starr retired on Dec. 31, said Army spokeswoman •Maj.

Burns declined to .comment further on the matter, saying he thought it would not be suitable to communicate through a news article. “I’m not going to get into an explanation through the media,” he said. “I don’t think it’s appropriate, and there are certain circumstances that are going on this year that didn’t exist last year. “We’re coming in with all due dispatch,” he added. ASU Budget Director Alan Carroll said University administrators have prepared themselves for a midyear cut of about 2 percent. Carroll added that with a 2 percent cut, “We’re still not fine but at least we’re prepared.” “The problem is if it’s not 2 percent o r if it’s significantly more than 2 percent we’re probably not prepared for it,” he said. “And the longer it takes the more difficult it is. At the end of this month we’re seven months through the fiscal year.” ASU President Lattie Coor said, “Every passing day makes it more difficult and the clock is ticking.

Amy Tropp, a 40-year-old Scottsdale health insurance agent, said the pain from her migraines, “hits me like a ton of bricks. ” “It’s onset is really quick, and what’s worse is the accompaniment of nausea — I throw up and it doesn’t stop,” she said. “I can’t see straight and my whole head and body hurts.” Tropp, who has had migraines for five years, added that an injection of the narcotic, Demerol, at her local hospital is the only way she has succeeded in relieving the pain. “It takes about 20 minutes and then it knocks me out,” she said. “And I lose a whole day of work the next day because I’m so hung over from it.” Culver said she treats her migraines, which have flared up to 40 times in one year, with over-the-counter medication. “I haven’t had any since last semester, but when I do, I get a blind spot in my vision and then 30 minutes later, a sharp pain all over my head,” she said. “ I always take two Ibuprophen, lay completely Still and try to think of other things.” , Szekely said migraine treatment has been revolutionized by new medications. “One medication, DAT 45, will take away pain without affecting consciousness,” she said. “Before, there was nothing you could do to stop it except get a shot of Demerol. “But now it can be stopped in a matter of minutes, and students can study and operate as usual without being sedated.” Szekely said migraines can persist throughout an entire lifetime, or dissipate with age. Students can avoid migraine affliction by maintaining a regular schedule of sleeping and waking, eating balanced meals, avoiding alcohol and cigarettes, getting regular physical exercise and learning a method of relaxation, she said. public discussion of a whole range of controversial questions surrounding race and to a lesser degree gender,” he said. D’Souza said they do this through censorship or by “pelting students With sensitivity marshmallows.” Callero told D’Souza that his presence at the debate was proof that controversial issues were being discussed on campus. Callero said cultural diversity course requirements are “critical to a well-rounded education in a pluralistic society.” ' But D’Souza said the requirements squeeze out Western culture classes and literature that should be the first priority in learning American culture. “ Authors are reduced to skin color,” he said. After the debate, Jacqueline Berman, a graduate political science major, said D’Souza’S argument was “reductive and ignored the history of racism and sexism in our country.” Calleros, she added, was “articulate, fair-minded and presented an equitable view, ” Patrick Kaser, an undeclared freshman who also attended the debate; said Callero “idealized ASU and made it sound as though we have no problems.” ‘‘Political correctness exists and we need to get away from this liberal bias in the universities,” he said.

In his book, Illiberal Education, D’Souza claims affirmative action admissions policies weaken educational standards and foster separatism and racial tensions on campuses. During the debate, D’Souza said any opposition of affirmative action programs on college campuses is seen as politically incorrect. University leaders, college deans and professors know this and they “try to protect the legitimate self-pride of minority students on campus,” D’Souza said. “They try to do this by and large by trying to regulate the Noon is the deadline to place a Classified liner for the next day.

(AP) — It’s so cold around here that even the ground shivers. Tremors reported in Maine and Vermont weren’t earthquakes — just the ground shaking because of the winter chill, an earthquake expert said. The tremors were reported Sunday and Monday by National Weather Service bureaus in Burlington, Vt., and Portland, Maine. Stuart Koyanagi, a geophysicist at die National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Coi©., said scientists had no record of any measurable earthquakes in northern New England. Koyanagi said the ground probably contracted and shook because of the very cold temperatures, which hit 20 below zero in parts of northern Vermont and Maine. The phenomenon, known as cryogenic activity, isn’t unusual. If it occurs below a house, the “house kind of settles a little bit underneath,” he said.

As a little boy, Ken Phelps was no different from almost every other kid his age — a lot of his time was spent lying in bed, thumping a baseball into his glove while daydreaming of someday making it to the big leagues. But there is one major discrepancy to this story — Phelps was one of the few youngsters whose fantasies came true. During Ms nine years in the major leagues, Phelps experienced a lot of thrills —playing in the huge stadiums, breaking up a perfect game with two outs in the ninth, putting on the storied Yankee pinstripes and winning a World Series. Yet when asked to recall his most enjoyable times as a player, chances are Phelps will say his career at ASU is near the top of the list. “Definitely,” Phelps said. “College is something I’m glad I did because it was a great experience. I met my wife here, made new friends and had a great time playing here. I tell kids — although scouts try to tell them different to get them to sign — that college is still fun and the education is important.” Now, Phelps is back. The Seattle native has come back to his alma mater in another capacity — as the Sun Devils’ hitting coach. Phelps replaces Jeff Pentland, who resigned two months ago to accept a position with the Florida Marlins, After playing with the Cleveland Indians two years ago, Phelps spent part of last season with the Phoenix Firebirds in hopes of finding his way back to the bigs. But a solid stay with the San Francisco Giants Triple-A affiliate couldn’t get him another opportunity with a major league team. At that time, Phelps was confronted with the grim realization haunting almost every pro athlete — the fact that the uniform eventually has to come off. “The sad thing about pro sports is that happens,” Phelps said. “You have to have something to fall back on, and I had to make adjustments. I called Coach Brock this summer and asked if he needed help with his (instructional) baseball camp. He told me I was welcome to, so I tried it and had fun.” Shortly afterward, Brock offered Phelps the job as recruiting coordinator, Before Phelps had time to get fully accustomed to his new surroundings, Pentland left — a move that resulted in what could be the swiftest promotion in the history of college baseball. Phelps had his new job title. “I just kind of fell into the hitting coach job,” Phelps said- “All of the sudden, I’m here and they didn’t have anybody else. I was fortunate enough to.get the opportunity. It was tough at first because I had just stopped playing, but it beats hanging around the house.” Admittedly, Phelps wasn’t a star in the major leagues, but he did have his moments. Phelps played With Kansas City, Montreal, Seattle, the New York Yankees, Oakland and Cleveland during his career. Turn to Phelps, page 13. Up-and-down ASU facing pivotal schedule stretch V isit by O regon State begins 6 o f 8 at hom e By DARREN URBAN State P ress The cry around the ASU basketball team has been that Coach Bill Frieder’s bunch hasn’t played up to par, as unsteady as the most wicked roller coaster. Frieder is the first to admit that. But he also points out that the Sun Devils are not so far off from the expected pace before the season. “If you went back to last summer and you went on paper (over the schedule), what’s the best you would have had us?,” Frieder said. “The best you would have had us is either 12-5 or 1145. On paper, record-wise, I’m not panicking — we’re right about where I thought we might be. “But I think we all know our team is not playing the way we want them to be playing and we’re not playing the way we should be playing. Those are the concerns.” With ASU (11-6 overall, 2-3 Pac-10) now entering what is considered the easier part of the schedule — beginning with a matchup versus Oregon State at 7 tonight in the University Activity Center — the Sun Devils a re faced w ith a put-up-or-shut-up proposition in order to have a chance to return to the NCAA tournament. Six of the next eight games are in Tempe. Besides the Oregon schools, ASU also hosts the Washington schools, which it already swept in the Pacific Northwest, and travels to conference cellar-dweller California. “We have a good chance to have a great season,” Frieder said. “These next three weeks are important weeks because we’re not playing top 10, top 25 teams the next six games — we’re playing teams that are upand-down.” After five Pac-10 games a year ago, the Sun Devils sported the same conference mark and total wins, with an 11-4 record. The run will begin with at least one tangible strike against ASU. Center Lester Neal, averaging 11.4 points and 8.3 rebounds a game, still has not fully recovered after spraining his ankle last week against UofA. Frieder said Neal definitely will not start against the Beavers, and it is still doubtful whether the junior will even play. Frieder added that either sophomore center Robert Conlisk or freshman forward Mario Bennett would start in Neal’s place, with freshman Tony Ronaldson moving to Center if Bennett is the pick. The injury leaves Frieder in a lurch following the 92-55 blowout loss to the Wildcats, Frieder’s worst ever as a coach. The lineup changes made to shake things up against Washington State, which Frieder said he would like to do again following UofA, are limited without Neal’s services. And Neal is the one player the Sun Devils can least afford to lose in terms of character on the court. “We don’t have a lot of options,” Frieder said. “I don’t think it’s any secret — whatever nuts and bolts and glue we’ve had, it’s been Lester Neal. The kids know the importance of Lester, because he digs and claws and scratches for anything he gets.” OSU (10-9, 2-4) has had its share of. adversity, dealing With the sudden death of sophomore Earnest Killum 10 days ago. With Killum in the hospital, an inspired Beaver team took No. 2 UCLA to overtime in Westwood. Frieder said he thinks OSU T urn to ASU-OSU, page 13.

State P ress At home, toe Cowboys are as tough as they come, having Oklahoma is OK! That’s what the state’s license plate won their last 46 matches at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Their last reads. But ask members of the ASU wrestling team for their loss at home was a 30-7 defeat to Iowa in the 1985-86 season. “We’re just glad that we’ve got Oklahoma State on impressions of the Sooner state, and they’ll tell you it’s not a Saturday and not on Sunday,” Melvin Douglas said. “We very nice place to visit. This weekend the lOth-ranked Sun Devils (2-4) are in the especially want to be up for that one.” Still in the back of the Sun Devils’ minds is a humbling 36-8 unenviable position of having to visit No. 4 Oklahoma State home loss to OSU on Jan. 19.

Pase 12 * » Siati Fu m i T J « ir£ m tJ a n u a r£ 3 ^ 9 9 8 i Sun Devils take to road looking for shooting eye California, Stanford provide difficulty for A SU By G REG SEXTON State P ress When the ASU women’s basketball team meets California and Stanford on a tough road trip this weekend, Coach Maura McHugh said h er team m ust play aggressively and — more importantly — shoot the ball well. “We’ve got to come out and play aggressively on both offense and defense,” McHugh said. “We must also use our running game, and use it well.” ASU meets Cal tonight at 8:30 p.m. at Harmon Gym in Berkeley, Calif., and faces Stanford Saturday at 8:30 p.m. at Maples Pavilion in Palo Alto, Calif. Both starting times are Arizona time. This season, the Sun Devils (11-4 overall, 2-3 Pac-10) have been successful with the fast break — when they execute it well. But McHugh said her team sometimes lacks the consistency and the quickness it takes to run it effectively. “We can’t get sloppy,” she said. “We must play aggressive and press the ball up the court from the start to the finish.” McHugh also said it is vital that her team shoot the ball better. The Sun Devils are shooting just over 40 percent this Season, and McHugh said this “just will not do.” When ASU played Oregon last Saturday, the Sun Devils were tied at halftime, but McHugh said poor shooting in the second half cost them the game. “We’ve got to make our easy shots,” she said. “We get a lot of them, and we miss a lot of them. We cannot miss layup after layup and expect to win.” McHugh said No. 21 California (12-3, 4-1) is a tough team, but they “lack depth” and are prone to getting into foul difficulties. Tending the Bears is senior Trisha Stafford, a 6-foot-l forward who is averaging 21.7 points and 8.9 boards per co n te st. M cHugh sa id S ta ffo rd is “explosive” and can nail the 3-pointer as well as drive the ball in the lane. McHugh added with many experienced seniors on their squad, the Bears have many players who can drive and also hit the trey. “They are going to shoot the ball well,” McHugh said. “They always do at home. It real hard to defend against them because if we play the zone they can drive, and if we play one-on-one, they will not hesitate to take the three.” leading the Sun Devils is junior point guard Ryneldi Becenti, who has 119 assists and 50 steals so far this season. Also playing strong for ASU is junior guard Crystal Cobb, who has been on fire by shooting better than 40 percent from 3-point range. Yet another bright spot for the Sun Devils has been the play of senior forward Shannon Gridley, who McHugh said is playing the best basketball of her career. REBO U N D ‘92 Danyl W abb/Stat.

She said the Cardinal is “loaded” and “has tons and tons of depth.” “They work very hard,” she said. “They are not the quickest team, but they do get the job done.” McHugh again stressed the importance of consistent scoring from the Sun Devils, saying that ASU has suffered its three Pac-10 losses by a total of only 15 points. j é Read the State Press J t OPINION Section Refreshments Served.
