Democratic presidential candidate Jerry Brown on Tuesday told about 300 people at ASU to retrieve the nation’s democracy from the hands of corrupt politicians, as part of his grassroots campaign tour through Arizona. “I am asking you — for yourselves, not forme —to become active moral agents of change, and take back this political process,” the former California governor said. “This should be a time to begin a rebirth, a renaissance in this country,” he said. “We spent 40 years getting ready to fight the Russians, now it’s time we fight things at home, like ignorance, inequality and injustice.” Robert Harris, the state organizer for Brown’s campaign and a former ASU student, said the candidate appeals to him because he is a true alternative to the other candidates. “He is the only person who I feel is going to enact some change,” Harris said. Harris, who called Brown the only alternative to President George Bush, said the candidate’s platform should appeal to college-age students because it stresses issues concerning the future, such. as the environment, education and alternative energy. “It’s pivotal that we get somebody in there who is going to care about our future,” Harris said The presidential hopeful, who does not accept individual contributions over $100 and advertises a toll-free number for potential volunteers and donors, said his unorthodox campaign empowers “ordinary people.” “We call this campaign ‘We the people,’ and it’s aimed at bringing people back into the political process because they have some ownership of it,” Brown said.

Olson, who has filed a complaint with ASU’s Office of Student Life, named Bouzari and form er ASASU A ctivities Vice President Frank McCune as part of a conspiracy to alter election results by placing fraudulent ballots in polling boxes after voting had taken place, Olson said Bouzari offered her the ASASU position of her choice and a car in exchange for rigging the election. Bouzari’s brother manages a car lot. “Alex Bouzari asked me to stuff the ballot box,” Olson said. “Alex should not even be out there campaigning on the mall. It’s unfair to students.” Bouzari denies the charges and has filed an elections code complaint against Olson for promoting specific candidates, a violation of the ASASU bylaws. The complaint demands that the elections be postponed. Bouzari said Olson’s charges are a retaliation for his criticism of her performance and an earlier threat to file the election code complaint. “This is too much,” Bouzari said. “It’s psychological warfare, and I’m an easy target. ASASU can go to hell as far as I’m concerned.” McCune, § who ran unsuccessfully for ASASU president last year, could hot be reached for comment. Dean of Student Life Art Carter said his office is investigating the charges, but he would not comment extensively on the situation. ASASU Adviser Gary Kleeman said today’s election will take place as scheduled, with added security to prevent voter fraud. Cut proposal remains at 2 percent B y CH R IS D R ISC O LL S ta ts P re ss Leaders of the Arizona Legislature on Tuesday delivered to Gov. Fife Symington their latest compromise proposal for balancing the current year’s state budget, leaving intact a 2 percent midyear cut to ASU suggested earlier by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. “The universities are basically being held at the same level, so it’s still at 2 percent and holding,” said Sen. Peter Rios, D-Hayden, the president of the Senate, “There have been some proposals to increase that to 2Vt (percent), another to 2Vfe percent. Those were considered briefly and then rejected.” Rio6 said the governor had indicated that he was not yet ready, based on what he had seen, to call a special session of the Legislature to work out a final plan. Rios said members of the Senate Republican caucus had been informed by the governor that there was not enough consensus between the House and Senate to call the special session. “We’ve got something on the table, but apparently it doesn’t meet with his approval,” Rios said.“ I’m not sure exactly what tie’s looking for, whether he’s looking for cuts in education or somewhere else. I don’t know, so Tdon’t want to venture a guess.” Doug Cole, the governor’s spokesman, said Symington spent about half an hour Tuesday reviewing the legislative leadership’s proposal.

According to Olson, Bouzari and McCune on Sunday took her to a restaurant and asked her to put ballot boxes in the ASU business building so McCune could use an old key to get into the room and change the votes.

Tanske, a 22-year-old senior finance major, said even though her case of the major childhood disease was considered mild, she experienced two “very painful’’ weeks of having blisters all over her body. “I didn’t have any medication —they just gave me ointments. It was really painful and itchy,’’ she said, adding that- the experience was even more miserable because she couldn’t scratch her skin for relief. Zovirax, an anti-viral drug already on the market for treatment of herpes, won approval from the Food and Drug A dm inistration F riday as the first treatment for chicken pox. The FDA endorsed the studies of drugmaker Burroughs Wellcome Co., which found that the drug, generically known as acyclovir, can lessen the span and severity of chicken pox, said Sharon Bickus, a spokeswoman for the Burroughs Wellcome Co. Until now, virtually the only treatment for chicken pox have been lotions and other skin treatments to relieve itching. Gil Meza, a spokesman for the Phoenix branch of the FDA, said the FDA has only given the manufacturer “pre-marketing approval.” “They still have to collect data, perform safety checks and provide us with evidence to ensure that what they are proposing is correct.” Meza said it will probably take 24 to 25 months after the reports are submitted for its review for the FDA to fully approve the medication. Dr. Joanne Hirsch, chief of medical services at the ASU Student Health Center, said although the FDA only recently recognized the drug as a treatment for chicken pox, the Student Health Center has been using it to attack the virus for about two years. “It’s become a standard practice in the community,” Hirsch said. “It’s been used by a multitiide of physicians. “It was already approved to be on the market :it’s just been a matter of time for the FDA to approve of it for this purpose.” Zovirax reduces the amount of time a patient can suffer from chicken pox because it decreases replication of the virus, Hirsch said. “It helps decrease the number of days that you’ll break out and not feel well,” she said. “This is important for adults who can’t be laid up because they have college and work. “But it’s not a, cure — the virus is still there.” Hirsch said chicken pox is characterized by one to two weeks of headaches, fever, malaise and a rash of blisters that develop in clusters on the face or torso and spread over the entire body. “ The medication can decrease the amount of time by half,” she said. “It decreases the outbreak stage — so you don’t have as many crops of blisters.” But the medication is only administered as chicken pox treatment when patients experience severe outbreaks of the virus, Hirech added. “We don’t use it in a lot of patients because some cases aren’t that bad and the virus will go away by itself,” she said. “And sometimes, students don’t want it because it’s so expensive,” Hirsch said, explaining that although prices may vary, an average adult prescription for the capsule-form medication can cost up to $100. Tanske said she would have been willing to pay for the medication because her bout with the virus almost canceled a trip she planned for Alaska. “I had a job there, and a t first we weren’t sure if I could go,” She said. “But luckily I went because it wasn’t very severe — if it had been worse, 1 wouldn’t have been able to go.” Hirsch said the FDA’s decision likely will spur a high demand for the drug from the general public as it enters the chicken pox season. But the public needs to -realize the medication won’t reduce chicken pox transmission or counteract the serious complications that sometimes arise in older people who become afflicted with the virus, she added.

But Armenian officials in Moscow denied as a “gross exaggeration” claims that 1,000 were massacred in the attack last week on the town of Khodzhaly in the disputed region of the Caucasus Mountains. Riot police patrolled this western Azerbaijan city on the border of Nagorno-Karabakh, and many sat in trucks ready to move to the mountainous combat zone. Khodzhaly lies just a few miles away. In the latest fighting Tuesday night, 30 Armenians were reported killed when a helicopter ferrying women and children from the embattled city of Stepanakert was shot down, and commonwealth military forces halted their pullout from the area. Stepanakert lies 15 miles southwest of Agdam. The l,400commonwealth troops are the last buffer between waning Armenians and Azerbaijanis, whose four-year fight over Nagorno-Karabakh has been the bloodiest ethnic conflict in the former Soviet Union. Nagorno-Karabakh’s population of approximately 200,000 is mainly Armenian. But the region is encircled by Azerbaijani territory and has been administered by Azerbaijan since 1923. Videotapes broadcast Tuesday by commonwealth television and ABC-TV showed the bodies of dozens of victims, including women and children, scattered on hillsides outside Khodzhaly. Azerbaijani men with Kalashnikov rifles slung over their shoulders sobbed as they collected the bodies, some of which had been mutilated. A brick and wood, one-story building next to Agdam’s mosque was transformed into a temporary morgue, and four badly mutilated corpses lay there Tuesday night. A caretaker said the bodies needed to be identified before burial. A police official who would not give his name said they were among 120 corpses recovered from the rolling hills in Nagorno-Karabakh over the last day. Coffins were stacked up outside the morgue awaiting more bodies, but Sgt. Ilgar Aliev, a riot police officer, said Azerbaijani officials were having difficulty retrieving the dead. Armenian fighters are demanding gasoline and weapons before allowing the Azerbaijanis to retrieve the bodies, Aliev said. Feliks Mamikonian, Armenia’s diplomatic representative in Moscow, told The Associated Press that Azerbaijani allegations of a massacre were false. He said Khodzhaly, an ethnic Azerbaijani town, was attacked because it was the base for two Soviet-made “Grad” rocket launchers that had repeatedly shelled the nearby Armenian city of Stepanakert. “There were many armed Azerbaijanis there, and few civilians,” Mamikonian said. “There were a lot of casualties (AP) — Paul Tsongas won Maryland’s presidential primary Tuesday night and Bill Clinton countered in Georgia as Democratic rivals battled coast-to-coast in a wide-open race for the nomination. President Bush swept three Republican primaries, but Patrick Buchanan vowed to press his conservative challenge. Colorado’s Democratic race was a surprisingly tight threeway competition among Clinton and Tsongas and their iconoclastic rival, Jerry Brown. Tsongas led in Utah. There were no such surprises on the GOP side, and Bush said his triple-header victory in Georgia, Maryland and Colorado meant he was “well on our way to the nomination.” He added he was “committed to regaining” the support of Republican voters who deserted him for Buchanan. The president was gaining well over 60 percent of the vote in Georgia, Maryland and Colorado —and the overwhelming majority of the national convention delegates at stake. Buchanan’s best performance was 36 percent in Georgia and he said it was more than enough to propel him to next week’s Super Tuesday primaries. The night’s results pointed to a continuing, contentious string of primaries for Democrats, who once hoped to settle early on a nominee to challenge a president weakened by recession. Clinton and tsongas turned immediately to their next round of primaries, clustered next week in New England and the South. Tsongas dubbed himself the “breakthrough kid” for his Maryland triumph, the first for any Democrat outside his home region. “They said that I was a regional candidate. They’re right: North, South, East and West.” • Clinton’s Georgia win was his first of the primary season, but it lacked drama, coming in his southern stronghold. He had almost 60 percent of the total vote and claimed a large majority among blacks. The Democratic also rans, Sen. Bob Kerrey and Sen. Tom Harkin, spoke bravely of staying alive in the race, despite poor showings in all the primary states. “This is still a completely wide open race,” Kerrey said, and Harkin said tiie campaign “ is really just starting.” The Democratic list of states voting included caucuses in Minnesota, Washington, Idaho and American Samoa. Harkin fared best of any candidate in Minnesota, but a sample of the caucus ballots showed him in a dead heat with uncommitted. Brown said his success was due to his anti-establishment message that blames both parties for falling prey to the moneyed special interests. Clinton’s victory was a long time coming for the candidate who loomed large before a series of controversies stalled his campaign in January. He hoped to parlay his win into success next week in several southern states, and wasted no time in attacking Tsongas as an advocate of “a refined version of 1980s style trickle-down economics.” Tsongas swiftly pointed his campaign southward. Arriving in South Carolina, which votes on Saturday, he said he was best able to win Republican and independent votes, adding, “I’m not going to pander to them. It’s not going to be an endless series of giveaways.” “The battle of Georgia is over and the battle of the South begins tomorrow,” he told supporters in Atlanta. “We can win the nomination.” Bush himself may have been conciliatory to Buchanan’s supporters, but the White House was trying to nudge the conservative commentator from the race. Spokesman Marlin Fitzwater expressed concern that a continued T u rn to N ag o rn o -K arab ak h , p ag e 9« T u rn to P re s id e n tia l race , p ag e 9* Senator not apologetic for Japan-bashing j o t e ’ COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Sen. Ernest Hollings says he was just responding to Jap an ese criticism when he told workers they “should draw a mushroom cloud and put underneath it: ‘Made in America by lazy and illiterate Americans and tested H o llin g s in Japan.’” Hollings said he used the World War II image of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan, which killed thousands and hastened the end of the war, because he wanted to show that he was tired of Japanese criticism. The 70-year-old Democrat, who is up for reelection in November, was touring South Carolina’s Roller Bearing Co. of America plant Monday when he made the statement to about 90 workers. The comments drew applause from the workers at a plant in Hartsville. “I’m not Japan bashing. I’m defending against America bashing. When you defend America, they want you to apologize,” Hollings said in a statement Tuesday. “I made a joke to make a point; the Japanese speaker was wrong when he said that American workers are lazy and stupid.” He referred to comments by Japanese Parliament Speaker Yoshio Sakurauchi’s in January about the American work ethic. Sakurauchi said U.S. workers were lazy, unproductive and illiterate. Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa fueled the controversy two weeks later when he suggested that Americans lack a work ethic. Christine Rose of thé Japan America Society in Seattie thinks Hollings is-sending a dangerous message. “I think he ought to read a few more history books,” said Ms. Rose. Hollings’ comment “promotes a racist kind of emotional response instead of intelligent facts that we need to deal with right now,” she said. “As a senator he needs to take responsibility for the economic state this country is in and not point a finger of blame at another country. He’s the one making policy.” Mary Earle, executive director of (he Japan America Society of Georgia, said politics cloud the issues. “To me that’s an irresponsible and unfortunate comment as are the comments the Japanese have made about American workers,” said Ms.1 Earle, who says her group has 11,000 members. “When issues like these get into the political arena they get like a football thrown around that doesn’t allow people to concentrate on the good aspects of both countries.” People tend to forget that the two countries are very interrelated and interdependent, she said. Hollings spokesman Andy Brack said the senator was not trying to attack Japan. “We were addressing American Workers. We’re not attacking the Japanese workers, we weren’t attacking the Japanese work ethic, we weren’t attacking Japan,” Brack said. The Japanese consulate in Atlanta would not comment specifically on Hollings’ remarks. But spokeswoman Mitsuyo Kara said many Japanese are ashamed of Sakurauchi’s statement that Americans lack a work efliic. Japanese are “very sorry there is a m isunderstanding and a perception gap between the United States and Japan.” In Tokyo, Japanese Foreign Ministry spokesman Sadaaki Numata would say only: ?‘One could comment on the taste of it, but that’s all I need to say.” Opinion Page 4__________ _______ ______________ State W ednesday, March 4 ,1 9 9 9 Alex Bouzari, the head of ASASU’s the winds of electorate whim.

ASASU election scandal justifies student apathy If you’ve wondered why no one gives a hoot about ASASU, ta k e a look a t w h a t h a s transpired in the hours before elections. ASASU E lec tio n s ■ C o o rd in ato r Amy O lson accused presidential candidate Alex Bouzari of bribing her to help him stuff the ballot boxes in his favor. In retu rn , public program s Senator Hector Pazos, on behalf of Bouzari, filed a petition to the Supreme Court of ASASU th a t say s O lson know ingly allowed presidential candidate Jim Ryan and executive vice p resid en tial candidate M ark Tynan to commit election rules violations. The trio w ent to a Tempe Thai re sta u ra n t, which Olson said “had awful food and service.” Olson declined to eat and instead listened to Bouzari. She said Bouzari asked how he was doing in the election. After 45 minutes of small talk, Olson claims Bouzari offered any position a t ASASU as well as a car in return for help rigging the election. Instead, Olson took h er story to ASASU and complained. Bouzari’s story was a little different. He said he was going to blow the whistle on Olson’s shady dealings, but she filed a false complaint first in order to avoid looking bad. ; It’s no wonder the election stands to have its lowest turnout ever. How can so much controversy come out of an election 5 to win a minimum-wage job? A fter m eeting w ith Olsor and Bouzari, I got the feeling th at both of them were telling the truth — their own truth. D u rin g a m eetin g with Olson, I personally thought the elections coordinator was m a n ip u la tiv e . She w as not devious, b u t h e r persuasion w as co-dependant, th e kind th at suicide pacts are made of. Olson had valid points, but one h a s to w onder why the claims filed by Pazos occurred before h e r m eetin g with Bouzari. Perhaps Bouzari did have something on her. During our discussion she sa id she h ad h e a rd about Ryan’s campaign m aterial ir th e forbidden zone, b u t did nothing. She said he was just encouraging people to go out and vote. B ouzari seem ed n ervous w hen we spoke. He seem ed paranoid, repeating th at ASASU was out to get him. W hat all th is nonsense boils down to is this: Who stands to gain the m ost from the thankless $72.25-aweek job? Bouzari has nothing to gain. He is not a citizen of the United States and has no political aspirations. Olson, however, retains her position with a Bouzariless office.. ' T his U n iv ersity is a t a crossroads w here strong leadership is vital. Budget cuts and cultural issues make for an uncertain future. Students m ust become familiar w ith th e issu e s facing th e U n iv e rsity com m unity. Students m ust vote for the people they feel can help them through these rough times.
