State Press ©Copyright, State Press, 1Ô92 Tempe, Arizona Arizona State University’s Morning Daily Vol. 75 No. 98 Thursday, February 27,1992 Chavez: Quotas not a societal cure-all Presence stirs debate, prom pts dem onstration By SONDRA RO BERTO State Press About 450 students and faculty on both sides of the controversial affirm ative action issue attended an emotionally-charged debate Wednesday night between former federal civil rights official Linda Chavez and ASU law professor Paul Bender. Bender, who defended the constitutionality of affirmative action in higher education, went head-to-head with Chavez, who strongly opposes university admittance on the basis of race or gender. A four-member panel of speakers also contributed to the debate, which was sponsored by the Associated Students of ASU Lecture Series. Bender took the stage first, describing a legacy of discrimination in America that has “left minorities poorer and less educated than white citizens.” “You name the social ills that are present in this country and the chances are that they are grossly, disproportionately applied to racial minorities and other minorities,” Bender said. “That’s why it seems to me we need to try to do something about it.” Bender said universities need to “jump-start integration,” like jump-starting an economy. “We need to integrate institutions by taking qualified people and giving them a chance,” he said.

Varying viewpoints create tuition hike dilemma By CH RIS D R ISCO LL State P ress A sta te law m aker on Wednesday predicted ¿hat the Arizona Board of Regents would have to raise tuition to counter revenue shortfalls and dwindling legislative appropriations, but ASU officials said they have no such plans. “There may be no way to avoid a tuition increase,” said Sen. David Bartlett, DTucson, majority whip and member of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Bartlett said there is little room for revision in fiscal year 1993 budget reco m m en d atio n s, adding th a t the Legislature seems to favor the Joint Legislative Budget Committee’s proposal. ASU President Lattie Coor, who will lobby individual law m akers for increased funding, said the regents have no intention of raising tuition, despite the desire of some board members to “revisit” the issue in the spring. “There’s been no talk of (revising tuition figures) since then,” Coor said. ASU Budget Director Alan Carroll said the University is not anticipating increased tuition rates and will have to generate the shortfalls by cutting student programs. Still, Carroll said the proposal will result in a “$15 million management problem” because it overestimates tuition revenue and underestimates the costs of mandated programs. When losses of tuition revenue and cuts to ASU’s operating budget are finally tallied, the University could be left with $18.9 million to $21.1 million less than last year, Carroll said. “We have a budget recommendation from both the governor and the JLBC staff that on the surface appears to be a $5 million cut for 1992-1993 from the $239.7 million expenditure authority,” he said. “The management problems those recommendations create is not a $5 million problem — it’s anywhere from $13.6 million to $14.3 million.” Carroll made the comments during a brown bag luncheon sponsored by the University’s employee legislative task force in the MU. Allan Price, ASU associate vice president of University relations also spoke. Carroll also had sobering news for ASU employe«, saying additional layoffs are likely. ASU has dismissed almost 100 employees through layoffs in the past year. During a question and answer period, Price said University officials will ask the Legislature for a lump-sum budget whereby ASU officials rather than lawmakers would decide how to spend the money. Price said such flexibility would help ASU manage the tough 1993 budget. h» his speech Price said that if ASU employees have opinions cm budget issues, now is the time to express them to the Legislature through calls and letters.

The coalition had protested two previous invitations to Chavez and the offers were withdrawn by the Lecture Series. Chavez was invited again in response to accusations of censorship by some observers, including Washington Post columnist George Will. “The whole idea of proportional representation is a zerosum game,” Chavez said. “When one group is seen as underrepresented, another group is seen as overrepresented. In order to achieve a balance of proper representation, something has to be taken away from one group in order to be given to another.” In his opening statement, Bender said when whites complain about admissions policies that prevent them from attending the institution of their choice, they are actually protesting their loss of “ 200 years” of advantages over minorities. Chavez cited several statistics on the affirmative action program at University of California, Berkeley, which she used to demonstrate that affirmative action causes resentment between races and decreases retention rates among minorities who enter on lower standards than whites. “Were they to go to another (less competitive) school in the education system, they would be admitted on the basis of their own achievement and merit and would, in fact, be prepared to compete on an equal footing,'’ she said. Chavez accused Bender of assuming minorités need help because they are unqualified to compete with white students. “Those who say blacks must be treated to a different standard are simply saying that they are simply incapable of living up to same standards that whites live up to,” Chavez said. Bender strongly denied the accusation. Members of the panel, who responded individually to Bender and Chavez, were affirmative action opponents Sen. Tom Patterson, Arizona Senate minority leader, and ASU Campus Republican President BUI Tierney. Supporting affirmative action were Normando Dehalle, assistant to the president at NAU, and Darien GartreU, an ASU law student. GartreU was admitted to ASU through affirmative action programs.

ASU employees who spoke during the question and answer period devoted much time to layoffs at the University. Before the meeting began, a legislative task force had passed out “pink slips” with questions about employee preferences for the alternatives of layoffs, furloughs or job-sharing. Sen. Lela Alston, D-Phoenix, said she was surprised to hear of the projected shortfall in ASU’s 1993 budget proposals. She said she is concerned that ASU, because of income shortfalls, is faced with a worse financial impact than the state’s other two universities. “ I would hope that there would be some consideration for ASU’s dUemma when we get down to rearranging the numbers for the next budget year,” Alston added.

Colombia’s president, Cesar Gaviria, said the leaders should cut production and consumption 70 percent by the year 2005 and set a target to end the drug trafficking by 2010. “I believe we must agree on specific targets, goals we set for ourselves so we can have clear accountability,” Gaviria told a news conference. But Peru blocked the idea, objecting even to Colombia’s first proposed step —cutting drug trafficking in half by 2000, U.S. officials said. Thus, the summit declaration the leaders will issue Thursday will not contain timetables, said administration officials who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity. “I don’t think it will even be discussed,” said one senior official. The United States does not object to targets, but Peru, which has made slow progress on the anti-drug front, has consistently opposed them. Peru’s president, Alberto Fujimori, at a news conference, linked Peru’s opposition to hopes for more U.S. money to help his country’s coca leaf farmers convert to alternative crops. He called “completely insufficient” this year’s $164 million in U.S. anti-drug funding to Peru. Sixty percent of the world’s coca leaf, used to produce cocaine, is grown in the Andean country. Fujimori said, “It is not possible to set goals,” with the current funding. “Thousands of millions of dolalrs have spent and there have not been any results,’’ he said. White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the administration planned no money beyond what is already in the president’s budget. Even as the seven leaders gathered, Bush faced criticism at home that his mtdtibillion-dollar drug-fighting strategy has been ineffective, with U.S. cities still flooded with ample, cheap supplies of drugs. To critics in Congress who label the drug war a failure, the president offered a sharp reply. “They don’t know what they’re talking about. . . The record’s good,” he said. “We’re going to get maximum cooperation,” Bush said as he opened a meeting with Fujimori. “We’re going to build on . . . the Cartagena meeting,” he said, referring to the first drug summit in Colombia two years ago. “We’re going to redouble our efforts on the demand side and on the supply side.” During a photo session with Bush, Fujimori was asked if he needed more money. “Oh, sure,” he quipped. Bush interjected, “Everybody does, including us.” In their meeting, Fujimori asked only that Bush speed up money that was in the pipeline for Peru, and Bush raised U.S. concerns about human rights abuses in Peru, the U.S, official said. Western aid being sold at high prices An woman hold* a can of Dutch hot dog*, w hich w ar* part of the European Community food relief to R uasle, along with a bottle of cognac Monday In Moscow. MOSCOW (AP) — Alexei Gorbachev displays his goods for sale: 72 cans of cling peaches from Hamburg, several cases of German tinned beef and six cartons of chicken legs from the United States. The food is part of humanitarian aid rushed here this winter to help feed the populace, or sent to Russia from abroad to be sold at subsidized prices. Instead, some of the aid is being sold privately by Gorbachev and others on a downtown sidewalk at marked-up prices. “I just walk into (state-run) stores and offer the salesclerks money to sell me food,” said Gorbachev. “I don’t feel bad because the people it was originally meant for can’t afford it anyway.” Russia has been working to dispel concerns that humanitarian aid is ending up on the black market. But that’s exactly where some of the food has been going since dozens of countries, including the United States, began the relief effort. Some aid was meant to be sold to the needy for low prices at state-run stores. Instead, salesclerks sell it at a higher price under the counter to people like Gorbachev, who unloads it on the street for a tidy profit. Other aid is sold by the needy themselves, who either received it free or at a discount, and are reselling it to buy cheaper food like bread. Alexander Zhitnikov, Russia’s deputy social welfare minister, said in Washington this week that reports that up to 70 percent is siphoned off for the black market were “just not true.” Zhitnikov said his commission was trying to ensure that pensioners, invalids and families with many children receive assistance. Standing behind his makeshift stall outside a subway station, Gorbachev said he averages a 15-ruble profit on every item he sells. One dollar is currently worth about 70 rubles. “ It’s always possible that a stock manager is selling some kilos of butter and milk at a higher price, and there is no way we can avoid that,” said Katrine Magnon, press attache for the European Community in Moscow. “What we want to avoid is massive diversion, and we have no evidence of that,” she said. The EC sells donated meat, butter and milk powder in stores in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Profits from the sales are put in a fund set up to help those hit hardest by Russia’s economic reforms. At the Kiev railway station in Moscow on Monday, pensioner Olga Govorova was trying to hawk a bottle of vodka, a plastic bag of nuts and three cans of hot dogs sent to Russia as humanitarian aid from Holland. Nearby, Sasha Ivanov was trying to sell two boxes of imported baby cereal and a package of Italian spaghetti. Govorova, 63, said she received the hot dogs free and decided it made more sense to sell them than to eat them. She said she had stood in line for three hours at a state store to buy the vodka, which she was selling for a profit. Govorova Said her monthly pension of 340 rubles does not allow her to live decently. She recently spent 131 rubles on a loaf of bread, 20 eggs, 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) of fish and three liters of milk. Nations oldest nuclear power plant to shut down BOLTON, Mass. (AP) — The nation’s oldest commercial nuclear power plant in operation, a target of safety protests because of its age, is being shut down for good and will be dismantled, its owner said Wednesday. The board of directors of Yankee Atomic Electric Co. voted unanimously against restarting the 185-megawatt Yankee Rowe plant, which has been idled since October. They insisted economic decisions, not safety questions, prompted the decision. “You can honestly say that we’re a victim of this recession,” said plant spokesman William McGee. Officials cited a dwindling demand for electricity as well as the expense of addressing concerns raised by Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff and others about the condition of the 32-year-old reactor vessel, the massive steel container housing the reactor. At issue was whether the 33-foot-high, 8-inch-thick steel vessel had grown brittle and become more likely to fail because it had been continually bombarded with neutron radiation. The utility voluntarily shut down the plant last October for nAUHnnal inspection and testing. McGee said plant officials had to spend $23 million on the effort in the next six months. ‘‘The technical criteria we must meet and the path we must follow to restart the plant are not sufficiently defined to justify spending that amount of money,” Andrew C. Kadak, Yankee Atomic president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. The utility has spent at least $5 million to prepare for reactor tests, Kadak said a t a news conference. “It’s too expensive to find out what the condition of our vessel is,” Kadak said. “It is quite frustrating. We have had an extremely excellent plant.” He said the utility will spend more than $60 million to dismantle the plant over the next several years. About 137 tons of radioactive fuel will eventually be stored at a federal site elsewhere in the country. The plant had eight years left on its operating license. william Sheperdson, spokesman for the New England Power Pool, said the closing would not have a major impact on the region’s power supply, noting its relatively small size and the decrease in demand for electricity. When operating, the plant provided 1 percent to 5 percent of New England’s electricity, officials said. I The world’s first commercial reactor to be dismantled was Shippingport, in western Pennsylvania, which was shipped off for disposal at Hanford, Wash., in 1969. It also was the nation’s first commercial reactor, beginning operations in 1957. Industry sources and the NRC praised the Yankee company. “They have acted in a most responsible manner with the NRG. They have had a long and excellent record,” said Joseph Foucharil, an agency spokesman in Washington, D.C. “The safety and performance of Yankee Rowe aren’t the issues here,” said Philip Bayne, president of the U.S. Council for Energy Awareness in Washington, an industry group. Both said the decision has few implications for other nuclear power plants, even those whose licenses expire early in the next century. A spokeswoman for Boston Edison said Yankee Atojnic’s shutdown is “simply not relevant” to the state’s only remaining nuclear power station, the 670-megawatt Pilgrim plant in Plymouth. Yankee Rowe was a prototype, and its design “is just so different you can’t draw any conclusion from it,” said Elaine Robinson, special assistant to the president at Boston Edison. However, opponents said Yankee Rowe’s shutdown will loom large as other aging nuclear plants come up for license renewal. Before opponents raised safety concerns about Yankee Rowe last year, the NRC regarded the plant as “their flagship, the safest and best-run plant in the country, their showpiece, their front-runner in the license renewal process,” said Diane Curran, a spokeswoman for the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington. O p in io n Adm inistration and faculty brown bag over budget crisis state press ditorial —---------Wednesday afternoon the MU was the site of a brown bag luncheon and talk given by Budget D irector Alan C arroll and ASU Associate Vice President Allan Price. The subject of the talk was the impending budget crisis and its re la tio n sh ip to employees. The rifle shots d elivered by our Legislature and governor’s office have left the administration with a difficult task. It looks as though key officials are finally rising to an effective performance. The MU gathering demonstrated that the administration is concerned with the plight of staff. „ Carroll candidly expressed his belief that layoffs will continue into th e future and offered staff avenues to explore in helping to save their jobs. Whatever the end motives, it looks like the adm inistration is genuinely interested in keeping the campus healthy and applying cuts objectively and fairly th ro u g h th e remainder of the budget crunch. The luncheon was a sm art management move by the administration. Officials who designed and participated in it should be credited. As the University services are-trimmed, it is increasingly im portant th a t th e staff’s morale is up and they’re willing to put out extra effort so th at student inconvenience is minimized. It’s good to see bureaucratic complacency replaced with a dynamic approach as the cuts slash deeper. Malcolm X ’s conversion re-thought I saw a Caucasian who I see every Tuesday on my way to class, but this day was a little d iffe re n t. On th is day, th e Caucasian was wearing an ‘X’ shirt, I thought to myself, “What is this Caucasian doing wearing a sh irt advocating a prom inent black nationalist?” Looking at me, he smiled, as if he expected me to give him a : com plim ent on his choice of clothing; He had no idea he was about, to be victimized by a verbal tirade. Jeddah, the city you pass before entering the holy city of Mecca. M alcolm X saw th o se w h ite an d black M uslim s to g th er in 1959, b u t upon h is re tu rn to th e U nited S tates, he continued to call th e w hite race a race of devils. Instead of verbally slamming white people, why didn’t he speak of unifying Islam then? ' After Malcolm’s relationship with the Nation of Islam h rb A change as much as everyone thinks he did. When Malcolm’s bullet-riddled body left the Audobon Ballroom, on Feb. 21, 1965, three people were arrested. Two have since been released and cleared of all charges. The one remaining in jail has a link to the FBI. So I stood th e re on T u esd a y a n d w a tc h ed th is C a u c a s ia n ’s face ch an g e a f te r le a rn in g th is new information. ■ I think it took about 10 seconds before he realized how vlrtVTB ' 7H/MÍ7- l Voti ttto tiw > J'T (JNDeesT^Mp/ “W hat does th a t sh irt m ean?” I asked, already knowing. “Malcolm X,” he replied. “Oh yeah! Isn’t th at the guy who called white people devils?” I responded. “Yeah, but he changed later in his life.” “The last time I checked Webster’s D ictionary, devil meant the supreme spirit of evil and wickedness. Why would you wear a- shirt advocating a person who spoke like th at about you and your parents?” “But you don’t understand,” he said. “He changed and...” 1 interrupted him to ask, “How many books have you read about Malcolm X?” : “None, but I plan on reading his autobiography.” ' I found it vaguely humorous th a t he was attempting to explain Malcolm X’s ideology to me. At this point, T thought of walking away, allowing him to swim in his own pool of ignorance. Instead, 1 stayed, thinking I had an obligation to educate him with the knowledge that I had. • It’ll be fun, I thought. Having read seven books on the life and death of Malcolm X doesn’t make me an expert, b u t i t gave me enough in fo rm atio n to m ake th is C au casian feel uncom fortable and in ad eq u a te. My knowledge of the subject was extensive; his was not. Malcom X said in the Autobiography o f Malcolm X th at he found “true” Islam in his pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964. He saw white and black Muslims finding unity in Islam. It was 1959 when Malcolm X was sent by his leader and teacher, the Honorable Elijah Muhammed, to visit S ta r t ended, he set up the Muslim Mosque Incorporated and the Organization for Afro-American Unity. At his headquarters, located a t the Hotel Theresa on 125th stre e t and Lennox Avenue in New York City, Malcolm s till did not allow w hite people to join his organization- Nor did he allow white people in any of the buildings run by his organization. This was all after his so-called “change in attitude,” after his pilgrimage to Mecca. What does all this .mean? It means Malcolm X did not silly he looked wearing and *X’ T-shirt and how deceived he had been. I could have walked away a t th at point, but I enjoyed watching the thoughts bounce in his head, looking as if his skull were going to split. Hopefully, the five-minute browbeating resulted in him running home to change his shirt. Think deep and realize that things are not always as they seem. Manipulation, trickery and deception are temporary, but truth is everlasting.

Even a footprint would do.” I still don’t understand w hat height has to do with this. “Because we are a tall nation. Tall in the saddle. Walking tall. Standing tall. Able to leap tall buildings in to the editor L etters S to p blaming D e ar E d ito r: I am a black student who agrees with whites, th at it’s time to stop blaming all white people who are long dead and gone, about our problems in America today. This is irrelevant to the fact th at until whites take responsibility today th at they a re p re ju d ic ed , or a re e n a b lin g institutionalized racism to exist, then it is feasible and factually possible th at black males ages 13 to 24 can become extinct within our lifetimes just like the manatee or snow leopard. White men brought these blacks across th e sea and I can prove th a t black on black crime is a direct result of racism in America. Blacks as a race, with exceptions, DO NOT w ant to uplift them selves a t the expense of others, because then we would be doing the same thing th a t the white European male has done to us. Timothy Grimm, I am sorry about your g ra n d fa th e r’s v ario u s tro u b les. If he w a n te d a b u sin e ss in th e black community, then he should have asked th e BLACK people w h a t they needed within their community. L a rry S alzm an , P ro fe sso r G riff is ex tre m e a n d you m is in te rp re te d th e b lack s’ reaction to G riff as a sign for whites to be scared. You’re right in the sen se t h a t b lack s a re tire d o f being tre a te d as in h u m an by A m erica. The white American public has let the U.S. government, in your name, do things to our world th a t affects th e hum an race which you are only one-tenth a p art of (i.e. world pollution, racism, and the clear ch asm betw een rich a n d poor in th is country and all over the world). I challenge the University to set up a two-hour forum where anybody can ask m e, or a n y o th e r b lack s tu d e n t o r professor th a t chooses to join me, issues concerning both communities. It is the white male who controls this country and the economics of the world. It’s tim e to tak e responsiblity for your actions in the human and animal world. G eoff B a rr e tt S ophom ore, P o litic a l S cience : a single bound. P our me a ta ll one. T alln ess is our tradition. Our nation was built by great men who were tall. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, R onald R eagan, Jo h n W ayne. Not a sh o rtie in th e bunch.” Teddy Roosevelt was short. “B ut he carried a tall stick. And now our tallness is being threatened, and Patrick is the only candidate who has recognized it, which is why he is going to take our nation back from the short before it is too late.” Before it is too late for what? “Before we are overrun by th e sh o rt people. Our highways filled with cars th at look empty because they can barely peep over the dashboard; tiny people giving orders to the tall, who they resent; tall people unable to buy a suit of clothes th at fit. Do you want your children growing up short?” They’ve already grown up tall. “Your grandchildren then.” ' _ ■ We’d have fewer peeping Toms. “You can scoff, b u t P atrick h as seen th e menace, swarm ing about his feet, skittering between his legs, talking strange gibberish th at only they understand. Do you want your descendants talking strange gibberish?” It was good enough for me. Besides, George Bush is kind of tall. I believe he is even taller than Patrick. “Yes, but he stands short and he walks short and he has betrayed us to the short. I suspect th a t he wears elevator shoes.” B ut w hat is P atrick going to do about th is sh o rt problem? “I would think he will begin by digging a deep ditch along our borders. Let the little buggers try to hop out of that.” Well, I’m glad you clarified the issue. “Wait, there are many other issues.” Then tell me. “Later. I don’t w ant to be overheard by th a t fellow sitting over there.” Which one is that? “The one who looks like an Israeli.” ALTtfûOÇH W H ITE UVCHËR EDUCATION, F\E nI H M E TAKEN LOE CA s INo T T A K E OdR PLACE \N T H P vT TUE üti|\l£R5ITlES TVlROUqH AFFIRM MIME EXCLÜPlblCj MINORITIES FROM PLA CE.

This is one good reason why America’s economy dwarfs th a t of every other country in the world — including Japan’s. Therefore, instead of “giving up,” we m u st s triv e to m ake an d develop innovative and high quality products. Having lived overseas for most of my life, it is astounding to me how little pride some Americans take in buying their own products, which I invariably find most satisfactory. I do hope Mr. Cote will re­ consider his views after fiilly appreciating the abilities of American labor, which he m ig h t fin d p ossible w orking on an assembly line for a couple of years, when he gets out in the real world.

He was treated at the scene by the Tempe Fire Department and said he would get further treatment himself. Tempe police reported the following incidents Wednesday: •Three people were injured, one critically, in a six-vehicle accident Wednesday on Broadway Road. A 19-year-old Tempe man who crashed his Honda Civic into three pickup trucks was listed in critical condition at Scottsdale Memorial Hospital. The accident began when his car hit a Toyota pickup and continued eastbound, striking a Chrysler LeBaron and entering the intersection of Broadway and Rural roads. The Honda Was struck by a motorcycle heading southbound on Rural Road and a GMC and a Chevy pickup traveling north. The Civic, then flipped over and slid on its roof, coming to a halt 150 feet east of Rural Road. The driver of the GMC pickup was taken to Maricopa County Medical Center for surgery. The motorcyclist was treated and released from Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital. Police believe alcohol Was involved. • A white male, 30 to 35 years old, with a large build, dark hair and a gray mustache, drove up to the drive-thru of McDonald’s, 5144 S. Rural Road, in a light-blue passenger car with Utah plates. When he drove up to the window to get his food, the 18-year-old clerk noticed the man was masturbating while sitting in his car. The man returned 20 minutes later, driving a tan pick-up truck with California plates, and ordered a milkshake from the same clerk. When he drove to the window, he told the clerk, “I forgot to give you this,” and flung white fluid from his hand, hitting her in the face. The suspect drove off westbound on Baseline Road.
