' Coor said he created the com m ittee to develop a plan to help Cook ■student athletes make a successful transition from their home communities to campus. “The goals are to explore in every way possible the issues related to the transition of Student athletes from their own community to the ASU campus, whatever their backgrounds are small town, rural or inner city,” Coor said. “Secondly, we want to explore and recommend ways in which we can involve student athletes much more fully in Campus life, the regular student life of all other stu d en ts an d the liv es o f the re st o f th e eampus community." The committee was formed in October by Coor following a rash of criminal activity in volving ASU ath letes. In the p ast 16 months, at least 23 ASU athletes have been a rre ste d or are under inv estig atio n fo r involvement in criminal activity. .Coor appointed Jerry Kingston, faculty ath letic represen tativ e and econom ics professor, to chair the committee. Kingston is currently trying to schedule a date for the committee's first meeting, which should take place in the next couple of weeks, Coor said. When searching for members to serve on the committee, Coor said he wanted people who knew about student athletes and the issues related to their life at a university. “I also looked for people who knew and had experience with the kinds of- issues the committee will be working with,” Coor said. “I asked the leadership of the faculty senate and of the Associated Students for the people who have had some of those experiences.” The newly appointed m em bers o f the com m ittee are K ingston; B ill A rnold, A cadem ic S enate p resid en t-elect and professor of communication; Art Carter, dean of student life; Jerry Colangelo, Phoenix Suns president; Charles Harris, ASU director of a th letics; T rish G rinko, ASU Alum ni Association; Ruth Jones, professor of political science; Scott Maasen, Associated Students of ASU president; Albert McHenry, chair and p rofessor o f electro n ics and com puter technology; George Montgomery, student athlete; Carleton Moore, Regents professor and director of the C enter for M eteorite S tudies; A lbert O livier, physician; John S chlacter, m arketing professor; M ilton Schroeder, law professor; Patty Snyder, head v olleyball coach; M ilton Som m erfeld, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Paul Ward, University general counsel; and C hristine W ilkinson, vice president of student affairs.

He added he is worried that reducing research will hurt the University’s ability to recruit “top-flight” instructors. McGaw said if teaching hours increase, so should rewards for teaching. He said the rewards should include an increase in salary and merit awards. McQj$w said he agrees that the quality of undergraduate education at ASU should be improved and that the number of courses taught by rankecUaculty is “too low.” Only 26 percent • f ——■— . '---- : ■:lio lg i i— '...-mm. , , - mi. i'';- .— o f undergraduate introduction courses are taught by ranked faculty, according to McGaw. George Knight, director of undergraduate studies for the psychology department, said he thinks, increasing student contact hours and access to ranked faculty is a good idea but not completely plausible. “I think it is a great idea having lower division taught by senior faculty, but'if we did we would have to offer fewer lower-division classes,” Knight said. He said if all lower-division courses were taught by ranked faculty, the department would have to offer fewer ldtnerdivision classes, which would limit the number of student who get the classes they need for graduation. Knight added that limiting research would not improve the quality of undergraduate education, but would instead hurt it. ' Knight said researching and teaching are co-dependent and research helps faculty in their teaching. “There are probably some ways of doing it (lim iting research); but, by doing it, it will negatively impact lower levels,” Knight said. “We are sort of caught between two not very good positions. We are doing the best we canju all levels of instruction without crippling any of them, and rndveinent in any direction would seriously jeopardize other areas.” Susan Wyckoff, chairwoman of the department of physics and astronomy, said she believes that the main priority for all faculty should be improving the quality of education. “Teaching is the highest priority in this departm ent,” Wyckoff said.

M ill A venue M erchants A ssociation Director Frank McGuire said the Christmas shopping season began on a positive note over the w eekend w ith la rg e r crow ds venturing into downtown Tempe to shop for that special Christmas gift. McGuire said the early indications point toward a shopping season up from last year. “Consumer confidence is up from last year because of the recent positive economic news,” McGuire said. He said that any time there is uncertainty in the economic market, like last Christmas season’s, people will hesitate to spend their money. “I feel this is going to be a good season,” said Jake Nelson, owner of the Shoe Mill. “The election is done and people are going to get back to shopping.” Nelson said he expects this season to be as profitable as, or more profitable than, 1991 b ecau se o f in c re a se d co n su m er confidence and the wide base of customers he has established. A lth o u g h ab o u t 25 p ercen t o f his customers are ASU students, Nelson said he doesn’t expect business to drop off much after finals. Bobby Som m er, ow ner o f C hanging Hands Bookstore, said that although this Thanksgiving’s shopping was not quite as good as the last year’s, he doesn’t really worry about it until the season is reaching an end. “We are still at the end of the recession and Thanksgiving came two days earlier this year,” Sommer said. “Maybe people are not ready to buy their gifts yet.” Sommer said the store is ju st as busy after Christm as as it is leading up to it, buying and selling returned books that were given as Christmas presents. Changing Hands has decided not to carry two of the nation’s best-selling books this winter even though that may mean it will not have as a profitable a shopping season. Sommer said the store is not planning to carry The Way Things Ought to Be by Rush Limbaugh and Sex by Madonna because of philosophic differences with the authors. Linda Leaf, owner of Sunwear Arizona, said while sales over,the weekend were We are still at the end o f the recession and T hanksgiving cam e tw o days earlier this year. M aybe people are not ready to buy th eir gifts yet. — Bobby Sommer, owner, Changing Hands Bookstore good, consumers were more selective and careful when making a final purchase. “Friday was busy, sales Were up a bit,” Leaf said. “But there was a lot o f looking. People are checking a lot closer and right now are comparing prices.” She said that 60 percent of her clientele are female ASU students and that once the school year is over and students leave for home, business falls off. She said that tier business is affected in the winter because people perceive her store as only selling swimsuits, but that her store also sells Winter clothes. the alternative copy shop & d ia l ASU UNIVERSITY ACTIVITY CENTER F rid a y , D e c . 4 | Saturday, D ec. 5 6 :0 0 pm M arquette U n iversity vs. Ja m e s M a d iso n U niversity l/lC , Self Service on 81/2 X 1120# WhiteBond Paper.

He did not rule out an American offer to com m it 30,000 troops, but indicated a preference for a U.N.-led force, “ I am more than ever convinced of the need for international military personnel to be deployed in Som alia," Boutros-Ghali said. “ The Security Council now has no alternative but to decide to adopt more forceful measures to secure the hum anitarian operations in Somalia.’';' ■' Since dictator Mohammed Siad Barre was ousted in January 1991, more than 300,000 Somalis have died from the combined effects of famine and warfare, and 2 million more are on the brink of starvation, according to U.N. estimates. But gunbattles between Somalia’s warring clans and marauding gunmen have made it dangerous, and at times impossible, to deliver the hundreds of thousands of tons of donated food and supplies. The co u n try ’s w arlords say they want nothing more than to end Somalia’s suffering, but without the looted supplies, the loyalty of their militamen would evaporate. In Washington, a Pentagon source said a three-ship, 1,800-member U.S. Marine Corps contingent slated for duty in the Persian Gulf is prepared to set up an airstrip landing zone in Mogadishu suitable for U.S. troops. The ships could be ready to move- into the city by Thursday, the source said on condition of anonymity. He emphasized that no decision has been made and that the U.S. forces would only move if the U.N. approves allowing them to report to a U.S. commander on the scene. ■ÿ\ W','< André Erdos, Hungarian ambassador and current president of the 15-member U.N. Security Council, said there was a risk of a U.N. military force getting involved in a co n flict w ith clans and arm ed gangs if deployed in Somalia. “ If you want to get involved in certain crisis situations like the one m Somalia... you have to take a certain risk,” Erdos said in an interview with British Broadcasting Corp. radio. r H e said m ilitary in tervention was necessary because “ it is impossible to, find the right partners” in a country where central authority has totally collapsed. R elief w orkers in Som alia have been attacked and killed, and clan rivalries have crip pled a U.N. plan to dispatch 4,200 peacekeeper guards to get the aid to Somalia’s hungry. L ast T uesday, clansm en in northern Mogadishu fired à rocket that hit a ship bound for the capital city with tons of food. In Mogadishu, the International Committee of the Red Cross said two ships stranded off the capital by clan violence will begin soon to unload their cargo of more than 9,000 tons of food. In a nine-page report to the Security Council, Boutros-Ghali outlined five options for U.N. action to protect the delivery of aid, ranging from widcscale military operations to complete withdrawal from Somalia. He did not accept or rule out an American offer to dispatch up to 30,000 combat troops to help deliver food. Washington has insisted that the troops operate under U.S. command as part of a multinational force, sponsored by the United Nations, on the order of the U.S.-led coalition that drove Iraq from Kuwait. Boutros-Ghali said he would consider • Washington’s offer, made by acting Secretary o f State Law rence S. E agleburger last W ednesday, but he said he supported an operation commanded or authorized by. the United Nations. • In either case, he said, the objectives should be precisely defined and limited in tim e.( A final decision rests with the Security Council, which is expected to authorize some form of military action this week.

The invention, intended to provide an easy way of ending a phone call, will give a false call-waiting signal at the push of a button. MOSCOW — A court M onday upheld Boris Y eltsin’s decree dissolving the top leadership o f the Communist Party, but the compromise ruling also gave ammunition to his opponents on the eve of a crucial parliament Y e l t s in session. Russia’s Constitutional Court ruled 11-2 th at the R ussian presid en t acted constitutionally when he banned the party’s Politburo and other national bodies after the failed hard-line coup in August 1991. But the 13 black-robed ju d g es said millions of rank-and-file Communists — who played no role in the coup — could resume grassroots activity and file lawsuits to reclaim som e o f the vast party assets Y eltsin nationalized. ' The court left open the possibility that C om m unists could gradually rebuild a national organization. Both sides claimed victory following the decision, which came as delegates to the Congress of People’s Deputies arrived in Moscow. Hard-liners who had challenged Yelstin’s ban had hoped the court would declare his decrees unconstitutional and provide grounds for his impeachment by the parliament, which convenes Tuesday in the Kremlin. Because the ruling was mixed, the.jmpact on the 1,046-m em ber C ongress was uncertain. While the chances of Yeltsin’s removal appeared slim, the partial reversal of his ban could still spark an impeachment proceeding and boost the form er C om m unists who dominate the parliament, elected before the Soviet Union’s collapse. “ The Constitutional Court’s verdict heats up political passions, having put an extra tnimp card in the hands of defenders of the C om m unist id e a ,” M onday ev en in g ’s Izvestia said. ’ Yeltsin’s opponents have said they will try durihg the Congress to soften his economic reforms, force changes in his Cabinet and block a renewal o f his decree-making power. The president made no public comment on the court decision. “ We consider the ruling satisfactory,” his W hen you ‘G o tta Go’: invention fakes call w aiting to clear line Abortion rights remain B y D enise •Lavoie A ssociated P ress DARIEN, Conn. — Got a nuisance phone caller, but too embarrassed to end the one-way conversation? You no longer have to roll your eyes and sigh. An electronic device is now available to simulate the clicking sound made by the phone company’s call waiting service. It’s called Gotta Go. • The g adget is a sm all w hite box activated by pushing a button. It can be hooked up to any single-line phone. David Schmidt, 30, came up with the idea after trying to find a polite way to end ram bling phone conversations with his rather chatty girlfriend. “ She was callin g every day at my busiest times and just gabbing, gabbing, gabbing,” said Schmidt, who worked in product development for an engineering company. One day, to Schmidt’s amusement, his g irlfrien d actu ally o ffered to end the conversation after she heard the click-click sound of call waiting and realized he had another call coming through. “ It occurred to me 1 was always very relieved when someone else would call and I’d hear the click, and then I’d have to end the call, but it really wasn't me that ended the call,” said Schmidt. He decided that other people also were looking for an easy way to get off the phone. Gotta Go, which sells for $ 14.95, is less expensive than the real call-waiting service provided by telephone com panies. In Connecticut, call waiting costs $14.20 for installation plus $4.73 in monthly charges. Schmidt built a prototype last summer, while he and his partner, David Whitlock, were running their year-old consumerelectronics company, Eclipse Products Inc., from their homes. Schmidt no longer has to use the device on his girlfriend. She’s gone. T urn to Y eltsin, page 16. tenuous, despite ruling N ews A nalysis B y J ill Law rence A ssociated P ress W ASHINGTON — The incom ing president supports legal abortion and the Supreme Court has just refused to criminalize the procedure. But abortion-rights advocates say there’s still plenty to worry about. The justices on the conservative-leaning court, in a decision expected by those both for and against abortion, made clear Monday that Guam’s near-total ban was beyond the pale. But the same court has upheld a tide of state restrictions that activists say have made the basic right to abortion little more than theoretical. And even a court changed by President-elect Clinton’s nominees could take years to reverse that tide. Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion Rights Action League, compares abortion rights at this juncture to voting rights for b la c k s' in the 1960s. Blacks were effectively denied the right in some places because of requirements that they pay poll taxes and pass literacy tests. “ The Supreme Court has allowed more and more state government intrusion into a woman’s decision, creating obstacles that are impossible for many women to overcome,” Michelman said. It's all in the eye of the beholder. T urn to A bortion , page 12.

All those aw ful things the liberal D em ocrats who are M ona running the country gleefully laid at the door o f R epublican CH AR EN presidents will now come back to haunt them. Rem em ber the D em ocratic Convention in July? (You know, that was the convention which featured Jesse Jackson and Mario C uom o and was universally ch aracterized in the press as “m o d erate.” ) M ore than one speaker took the rostrum to say that a vote for George Bush was a vote for more deaths from AIDS. AIDS burst upon the scene in j ugly pall over the lives of the young, the vigorous and, most importantly, the articulate. The gay community and its allies were able to transform the reality of a disease transmitted (for the most part) by avoidable behavior into something else. They successfully created the impression that the problem was not disease-spreading conduct but rather prejudice and ignorance on the part of the uninfected. It becam e a point o f pride — a way to prove one’s enlightenment — to support more and more funding for AIDS research and care, even when the federal dollars for AIDS vastly outstripped funding for other, more w idespread illnesses like cancer — which took the life of a member of my family three years ago. With practically the entire news media, as well as all of Hollywood on the bandw agon, it becam e conventional wisdom that people were dying of AIDS unnecessarily and that a more concentrated government effort could halt the progress of the disease. Some even seemed to believe that AIDS was hitting homosexuals, blacks and drug addicts disproportionately because Republican presidents were unsympathetic to those people. If intolerant groups on the right saw AIDS as G od’s retribution against the sin of sodom y, nutty leftists saw the disease as the agent of Republican wrath. It will now be interesting to see how the liberals handle the facts about AIDS when a Democrat who says all the right words is in the W hite House. As my colleague Charles Krauthammer has pointed out, modem medicine, for all its miracles, is still quite feeble at fighting viruses, which is why 20,000 Americans die of the flu each year. Beyond the limitations of science lies the even thornier m atter o f hum an beings behaving stupidly. H aving a Democrat in the W hite House has not yet been found to diminish dumb, self-destructive conduct (some would say Democrats merely contribute to it). So the Democrats should chew on this news morsel for a while: A new study has found that in small towns, almost one-third of gay metí say they are having unprotected anal intercourse on a regular basis. Nine percent said they are already infected with the AIDS virus. Many of those who admitted to this behavior said they believed that their risk of getting the disease was slight or nil. Evidence of foolishness, you say? That’s not the way the researchers from the Medical College of Wisconsin saw it. According to The Washington Post, they put this spin on the study: “Our findings show clearly that enhanced communitybased resources and prevention efforts are now urgently needed for reaching gay men in smaller cities who have been n eg lected in AIDS prevention relativ e to th e ir urban counterparts.” î In short, more money for education. It is difficult to imagine that anyone living in a small town or even on a remote mountain top could be ignorant of the way AIDS is transmitted. One need not have been the special target of a government-funded education program to know the facts. They are broadcast almost daily on television, covered exhaustively in newspapers and magazines and analyzed to the point of vertigo on all the TV and radio talk shows. If a person is still engaging in unprotected anal intercourse in the year 1992, it isn’t because the government has been lax about explaining the facts of life to him, and it isn’t because of a lack of funding — it’s because that person chooses not to know the truth. No government, no matter how benevolent in intent, can overcome the human being’s sovereign ability to deceive himself. KRIS MAYES, Editor KEN BROWN, Managing Editor D.J. BURROUGH .

We, as students and taxpayers, pay for whatever positive things the SRC is doing for us. It’s not like the staff donates their time and services, or that the SRC was donated to us, like they seem to think. I would also like to thank Mr. Charles K. Walker for proving my point and illustrating in his letter that the range of music that is being, imposed on everyone who would like to use the SRC is very narrow, and therefore it discriminates against a large number of people. In fact, the SRC is saying that if you do not like to listen to the radio at all or if you like to listen to classical, jazz, Christian, Latin, New Age or world music, etc., you are not important and you are not welcome, just your money is. And, Charles and Montree, I do not believe that it is the job o f the SRC director and staff to “satisfy” everyone’s individual music taste. Rather, it is their job to run ASU’s health and fitness complex efficiently and to serves all students and paying staff and faculty equally and fairly, without intruding on our personal space. Here are a few suggestions on how they can improve their present policy, which, as Montree points out in his letter, does not serve everyone equally. How about leaving personal choices, such as listening to music, commercials,' DJ chatter, etc., and the responsibility for them, to the individual and leaving the radio off? Or how about separating all the equipment equally into radio and non radio areas? Then everyone would have the choice of using the radio areas or of using the quiet areas, where one could either listen to his or her own thoughts (Gee, what a novel concept!) or put on head phones and listen to his or her own favorite music without having to blow their ear drums out while trying to drown out the radio booming from above. Renato D. Salomone Senior, Psychology Selective censorship perpetuates (expletive) racism Editor: My favorite section of the State Press is the Police Report. It’s the section I turn to first every day. What caught my interest in the report on Nov. 17 was not the usual accounts of $400 bicycles stolen, shooting incidents involving children, nor the obligatory reports of public promiscuity. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t any of the incidents reported, but the way in which one particular crime was described. An ASU student was booked and jailed for disorderly conduct after allegedly making a racial slur toward five black men. He was reported to have said, quoting the report here, “(Expletive) you niggers!” How ironic that a report about racial crime could be racist itself. If my guess is right, that the censured word is ‘fuck,’ then we readers have experienced another example of the most dangerous form of racism. Blatant racism is easy to spot and usually clear in its ignorant foundations. It is the more subtle form that impedes our ability to overcome its trappings because it is the hardest to detect and educate people about. I have been battling Overt as well as subtle racism for the past 13 years, not by staging rallies or writing books, but by saying, “In the future. I’d prefer it if you wouldn’t tell racist jokes in my presence,” or “Are you sure it was important to point out what the color of his/her skin was in relating that incident to me?” to people who have unwittingly or even in complete awareness made racially pejorative remarks. Many extremely intelligent people don’t realize that they are making racial slurs in everyday conversations, which is why this is racism in its most dangerous form. If they are not informed of their “bad habits,” even the best meaning people will continue to spread subtle forms of racism. While many might find the expletive offensive, its use does not exclusively offend a specific race, religion, nationality, gender or other particular sector of the population. Though people have tried to explain to me that the word “nigger” does not necessarily apply only to people of dark skin, its historic use as slang for people of dark skin color is evident in its etym ology, and is therefore a racist term . I ca n ’t help wondering if censuring the word “nigger” was even pondered. To those of you who might feel that I’m making all too much of what might be considered a simple oversight, I respect your right to your own opinion. To those who do not need further proselytizing, I hope you are one with whom the former make their acquaintance. Michael Hoffman Graduate Teaching Assistant, School o f Music Well, here we go again. This time around, we have kOBERT future leaders who don’t inhale, can’t control their CRANE extramarital affairs, and have wives who are proponents ' of moral crusades and censorship. Pretty scary stuff. If someone offs Bill Clinton, which may happen given his penchant for surrounding himself with crowds, cutting himself off from security, I dread the mere thought of the power Tipper Gore might wield if she becomes'First Lady. You can rest assured that her intent will be to make this country a better place for her children, and not necessarily yours. An examination of the past may shed some light on our country’s potential future at least for the next four years or until the bogus legislation passed by the Clinton/Gore Administration can be repealed. ' In 1985, the Parents Music Resource Centre was founded. It was the brain child of Susan Baker, Tipper Gore, Patsy Hollings and Pam Hower, who were wives of senators, congressional representatives or, in the case of Susan Baker, the Secretary of the Treasury. Supposedly, the primary goals of the PMRC were “to educate and inform parents of this alarming new trend ... towards lyrics that are sexually explicit, excessively violent or glorify the use of drugs and alcohol... as well as to ask the industry to exercise self-restraint.” fv — ' ' The PMRC’s contention was that rock lyrics were tearing the fabric of American society. They were attempting to link rising teenage pregnancy, rape, suicide, drug use and drinking solely to the lyrical content of rock music. Ironically, they harbored no objection to the lyrical content of opera or country/western or violence on television. For some unknown reason, they launched a personal vendetta against rock music. Perhaps they had something against long hair and leather. Tipper Gore, the future runner-up to First Lady, in her book, Raising PG Kids in an X-rated Society, noted that “56 percent of music videos were analyzed as containing violence versus 75 percent of all prime time television.” It seems logical that a parent so concerned about her child’s well-being would attack television, which she has no control over when her progeny are unattended, as opposed to records, which she can always break in half if she finds them too offensive. Seemingly, Gore did not object to the lyrical content of rock music per se, but instead to the manner of articulation. In taking this position, Gore and the PMRC became allied, wittingly or otherwise, with the religious right in this country. The Rev. Jeff Ling, pastor from the New Covenant Fellowship in Manassas, Va., was the author of most of the PMRC literature published. That literature included a pamphlet naming everyone from Motley Crue and KISS to Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and the Bee Gees as purveyors of filthy rock. Additionally, the PMRC used research from a religious organization in Pittsburgh called Teen Vision, and the promotion and distribution of Tipper Gore’s book was done by the 700 Club and the national Religious Booksellers Convention. Nonetheless, the PMRC denied any religious connections. Can you say ... hypocrites? The PMRC strenuously avoided the .Iabel of censors, cloaking their efforts to play Big Brother by attempting to equate rock music with pornography. Susan Baker said: “th e music industry is on the hot seat. They have suddenly discovered that they are not exempt from the laws that govern our society. Pornography sold to children is illegal, enforcing that is not censorship.” Remind me the next time I want to get all hot and bothered to throw on some Jackson Browne. Utilizing Congressional letterhead and the signatures of 17 Washington wives, the PMRC launched a campaign of intim idation directed toward the Record Industry Association of America and various rock music distributors. Subsequently, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation opened hearings on “pom rock,” threatening legislation to force a voluntary compliance of self-censorship regulations within the music industry. The hearings produced no affirmative action by the Senate Commerce Committee, but the RIAA and the PMRC announced a settlement. Record companies would print a Warning label or display the potentially Offensive lyrics on the album jacket. Under the compromise, the PMRC consented to refrain from seeking legislative support or a more formal labeling system, while die record companies retained the right to decide which albums required labels. Tipper Gore and the PMRC’s distinction between ‘-‘voluntary agreements” and censorship were nebulous at best and nefarious at heart. When she all too soon becomes'the vice president’s wife, -you had better start considering the possible ulterior motives she may have for becoming involved in the next moral crusade o f the politically correct.

He was later released. •A thief removed a bicycle belonging to an ASU student while it was secured with a U-lock on the racks at the west side of Manzanita residence hall. Loss of the black-andchrome road-racing bicycle is estimated at $ 1,000. •A vandal damaged the door of an ASU student’s 10thfloor room in Manzanita residence hall. Damage is estimated at $300. The student was injured, but he refused treatment. •Three juvenile males unaffiliated with the University were questioned by officers after they were seen playing in the elevators and riding bicycles in the Farm er Education Building. They were warned of trespassing and left the area. Tempe police reported the following incidents Monday: •A Tempe man was arrested on charges of sexual assault, drug possession, burglary and aggravated assault after he allegedly raped a Tempe woman at knifepoint at her apartment Saturday morning. According to police reports, Leroy Maciong, 28, entered an apartment on the 4500 block of South Hardy Drive at about 6 a.m. and forced the resident to her bedroom by threatening her with a knife. He then allegedly sexually assaulted her after using her clothes to tie her to a bedpost. Macioiig allegedly remained in the apartment and smoked a narcotic drug while talking to the woman, and then left with her undergarments and about $25. After he left the apartment the victim called police and officers spotted Maciong walking along a canal near the apartment complex at about 10 a.m. After questioning him, officers reportedly found the woman’s undergarments and drug paraphernalia in his backpack. Maciong was arrested and taken to Tempe City Jail for booking. •A 28-year-old Tempe man committed suicide by shooting him self in the head while sitting next to a building in a business complex on the 1500 block of East Southern Drive. Members of the man’s family told officers that the man was depressed because he was having marital problems. •A Tempe man was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and kidnapping after he allegedly threatened his estranged wife with a handgun and held her for several hours last Wednesday. According to police reports, Thomas Woolford, 50, went to his wife’s apartment on the 500 block of West Baseline Road with a gun. He forced her to drive to Casa Grande, where they went to a motel. There, Woolford allegedly continued to threaten his wife by putting the gun to her head. . Later, the two reportedly drove back to the woman’s apartment, where she received a call from a friend. The friend, sensing something was wrong, called police, who arrived at the apartment shortly afterward. The woman was removed from the second-floor apartment by officers, but Woolford escaped through a window before a SWAT team could surround the area. Police were unable to locate him for the rest of the night. On Thanksgiving day, officers received a report that Woolford had called relatives in Tempe to ask for help, as he suffered contusions to his leg during his escape from the second-floor window. Two officers went to the apartment on the 4600 block of South Priest Drive, where Woolford was arrested without incident. He was treated at Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital for his injuries before being taken to Tempe City Jail for booking. Compiled by State Press reporter Dan Zeiger. TH E HUB OF ASU! IT'S DID YOU KNOW...

The findings Suggest that when doctors teach patients about AIDS, they also should offer voluntary tests for the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV,, which causes the disease, said Dr. Neil S. Wenger, chief author of the study at the University of California, Los Angeles. Education and AIDS tests combined “should be central to public health interventions to Stop the spread of HIV,” W enger and his colleagues write in Tuesday’s issue of Annals o f Internal M edicine. B ut the results “in no w ay support the concept o f mandatory testing in any population,” they added. The study is important because it shows that taking an AIDS test can make people more likely to ask if their lovers are infected, just like showing patients their chest Xrays reinforced anti-smoking messages, said Dr. Mervyn Silverman, president of the American Foundation for AIDS Research, “Sadly, however, we see how difficult it is to get people to w ear condoms when having sex,” Silverman said by phone from San Francisco, W en g er and h is c o -a u th o rs sa id th a t m ig h t be interpreted as a failure o f AIDS education. But they noted that sexual activity among the students was fairly low, few had multiple lovers and asking if a potential lover carries the AIDS virus “may be more important than the sexual activities engaged in with that partner.” The researchers warned, however, that lovers may lie about their AIDS risk, and that “the unaware might be lulled into unprotected sexual behaviors by unscrupulous partners.” AIDS, which kills by crippling the body’s ability to fight o th er diseases, is spread during sex, by sharing contaminated needles and from mother to infant before or during birth. The risk o f infection from tainted blood has dropped Sharply since blood banks started testing donors for antibodies to the virus. The study involved 370 heterosexual students Who attended the UCLA student health clinic. Some students were taught about AIDS, others also got an AIDS antibody test and a third group was left alone. The students were questioned at the start of the study and six months later about whether they asked if sex partners were infected by the AIDS virus. Among those who received AIDS tests and education, the proportion who asked about their partner’s HIV status rose from 31 p ercen t to 56 p ercen t. The p ro p o rtio n increased only from 34 percent to 41 pfercent among those who received education alone. It rose from 39 percent to 42 percent am ong those who received neither testing nor education. About 80 percent of the students were sexually active during the six-month study, and alm ost two-thirds of them had unprotected intercourse — before and after they received AIDS education alone or with a test. a w e ll d e s e r v e d b r e a k fr o m s tu d y in g . . .

Dowd said the interview would be soon, but no date has been scheduled. Meanwhile, Symington’s attorneys also are preparing for a Dec. 14 hearing in the Resolution Trust Corp.’s $197 m illion law suit against the governor and other form er Southwest officials. Symington had hoped for quick resolution o f the matter after appearing before a congressional panel in February, but said he’s less optimistic now. “It just goes on and on, but we’ll work it out in time,” he said recently, “W hen y o u ’r e dealing w ith the, federal government, anything is possible.” Dowd suggested that RTC lawyers’ lack of preparation in filing the case caused the delay. He said attorneys on . both sides have had to sift through thousands of pages of documents. S teve K atsan o s, an RTC sp o k esm an , said agency lawyers never expected a speedy resolution. “There is a way to end this quickly,” he said. “If the w Open upand.sayahtihh!!!! to another exciting issue of the defendant wants to come forward and propose a realistic settlement on his debt to the taxpayers, we’ll consider it seriously.” ■ * Symington has refused to consider a settlement in the case, calling it a politically motivated “witch hunt.” Symington served on the board o f the Phoenix thrift from 1972 to 1984. It failed in 1989 at an estimated cost to taxpayers o f $941 million. The FBI investigation focuses on Symington’s role as developer of the Camclback Esplanade project partially financed by Southwest. Dowd said he believes the FBI investigation overseen i by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles will not be completed for several months.

But you have to realize the risks that are taken in that situation. “Unfortunately, ju st about all of these decisions are made via hindsight. It’s a nowin situation in many cases.” Officers consider several factors before making decisions on whether to initiate a pursuit. Not only the time of day and the num ber of other vehicles in the area are considered, but also what the Suspect is wanted for and if it is safer to apprehend at a later time. In some cases, officers will opt to try to apprehend suspects later if positive identification has been obtained. 'i f an officer radios in that he’s in pursuit of a vehicle at 4:30 p.m, downtown and it’s raining, I am going to call off the chase,” Robinson said. “The risks involved with a speeding 3,,000-pound vehicle are too great.” Phoenix police have seven helicopters that are sometimes used to pursue suspects until they are caught by ground units. Policé in surrounding cities cannot afford helicopters, but Phoenix police have shared theirs Whenever possible. Pox One, a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office helicopter, can also assist when available. B ut R obinson said helicopters a r e n ’t effective unless they are already in the air and can respond immediately to requests for help. “That’s about the only time it’s a good use,” Robinson said. “I can’t imagine a call coming in to, say* Deer Valley — where a helicopter is stored — being a help, because you just don’t get into a copter and fly away. “There are pre-flight checks, and by the time that’s done, the suspect might have been caught or the pursuit might have been broken off.” Tem pe police o fficials said another concern is that not only is the officer responsible for his own driving during a chase, but he should also be responsible for Thousands o f p eo p le get it y o u CAN GET IT ALL OVER CAMPUS EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING.

I think faculty will be willing to rally to the occasion,” Wyckoff said. Wyckoff said she does not believe improving the quality of education means limiting research hours because in a sense they are one in the same. “Researching and teaching are intertwined,” Wyckoff said, adding that many students, graduate assistants and faculty learn solely through research.

Miller said faculty workloads are already heavy and they shouldn’t be increased without an increase in salaries. “We could improve it but we need to raise salaries,” Miiler said.

Leanne McCoy of Americans United For Life, which supplied attorneys to argue for Guam, said Monday that the Supreme Court decision leaves the United States with “ the most radical abortion law in the Western Hemisphere.“ For her side, it’s about to get worse. Clinton is expected to end a ban on fetal tissue research, reinstate abortions at m ilitary hospitals and reverse a rule that bars abortion counseling at federally funded family planning clinics. All that w ill be alm ost im m ediate. But shifting the direction of the Supreme Court promises to be a lot more complicated and time-consuming. Even with Clinton’s pledge to name justices who support abortion rights, numerous appointments and years of litigation would be required to reverse the many state-sponsored restrictions the court has upheld. From Michelman’s point of view, a lot more damage could be done before then. “ We don’t know the limit of the court yet,’’ she said. “ It has invited states to enact these obstacles. You can be sure that come January (when state legislatures convene) we will be fighting hundreds of anti-choice bills that are going to try to push the court to its limits.” What she views as obstacles others See as reasonable restrictions — for instance, parental notice for minors and 24hour waiting periods. Those trying to severely limit or bar abortion point to polls that show most Americans flavor Some restrictions on the procedure. Clinton himself supports laws requiring that parents be notified of their minor daughters' abortions, as long as there is a way to bypass the requirement in hardship cases. He also told Reader’s. Digest recently that he would not oppose a 24hour waiting period if it didn’t inconvenience anyone. Michelman contends Clinton knows waiting periods are inherently burdensome and does not support them'. She also contends the polls are inaccurate — that when people really understand the problems most restrictions create for poor, young and rural women, they don’t want them. The Supreme Court has said a waiting period was not an undue burden in Pennsylvania. It may decide as early as next week w hether the same requirem ent is burdensom e in Mississippi, where there are more poor, rural women and fewer places to have an abortion. Given the uncertainties and glacial evolution of the court, some want Congress to guarantee abortion rights by passing a Freedom of Choice Act. States could enact parental notice or consent laws, but no other restrictions would be permitted. But abortion opponents say they’re confident they can defeat such an abortion-rights bill •— raising the possibility that an attempted end run could turn into a damaging dead end. Abortion-rights champions are also fretting that their troops will lose their vigilance in the face of encouraging news. “ We have a pro-choice president-elect so I’m already worrying that people are saying the war is over,’ ’ Michelman said. “ And now with this Case coming on the heels of that, there’s a possibility of complacency r— which is the greatest threat to pro-choice Americans.” HOLIDAY TRAVEL PLANS?

"We do extensive compatibility testing. T h e re 's really no room for e rro r," said Michael Hess of Together of Tucson. But Janet Levin contends Together made plenty of errors when it came to providing dates for her. The recreation specialist who moved to Pennsylvania from Tucson a month ago signed up with Together after receiving a mailing. She spent $1,000 on a package o f 10 dates in an attempt to find her dream mate, but said all she has to show for the money are her m em ories o f four lousy dates and Together’s refusal to return her money: She had asked to meet a childless, non­ smoking, world traveler with a salary of about $40,000. Levin, who is Jewish, did not want to date a Catholic or bald man. H er firs t date had two children, one handicapped, and had never been outside of the country. The second was Catholic, bald, smoked and Went to his mother’s every other night for dinner. "I called and screamed my head off. So the next (date) was sent to placate me. He was everything I asked for, but the problem was, I wasn’t what he wanted,” she said. "He wanted someone small and petite and nothing like me. 1 felt lousy,” Levin said she was told that if she moved, she would receive-a refund, but she said she was later told that her contract did not permit refunds. . “The second item on the contract- states there are no refunds. But the first item states that they were going to find you compatible people. They never lived up to No. 1, so why should! live up to No. 2?” A Better Business Bureau report says 15 customers have complained about Together since it opened May of 1991 in Tucson. “The complaints concern the company’s alleged delays in arranging matches ... and the firm ’s refusal to make any m onetary adjustm ents or cancellations of contract purportedly due to customer dissatisfaction with the company’s performance. Several clients claimed ... the referrals which they received were not the type of people which they described in their original profile,” the report read. The report also said the firm refused to issue refunds, because contract terms were fully explained to customers. Hess said 76 percent o f T o gether’s members meet someone special, but that success in the dating-service world requires patience, communication with the agency and a good attitude. Those were lacking in the 15 cases, which reflect only 3 percent of the membership, he said. ^ “O ur com plaint ratio is very low, especially when you consider we’re dealing one on one with people and their emotions,” he said.

The program , called Great Rewards, “is a whole new concept in education lending. ... It rewards good repayment habits,” said Lydia Marshall, senior vice president of the Student Loan Marketing Association. “Good borrowers save us time, and they save us money” because the association, known as Sallie Mae, can avoid collection procedures, such as overdue notices and telephone c a lls. “T h e savings w ill be passed back to the good borrowers.” Sallie Mae is a publicly held, federally chartered financial services corporation that buys education loans from banks and other lending institutions. It owns more than $20 billion in federally insured student loans, which amounts to one in three time in the first four years, Marshall said. She declined to project how much that might increase under the G reat Rewards program. “We have no w a /o f estimating,” she said. Once an eligible borrower has paid on time for four years, the reduced interest rate will remain through the remainder of the life o f the loan, regardless of w hether the borrower becomes delinquent. “But we expect a low rate of subsequent delinquency” in that group, said Sallie Mae spokesman Ross Kleinman. The program will be available to students who get Stafford loans after Jan. 1, 1993, that are subsequently sold to Sallie Mae and serviced at one of its loan servicing centers before they begin repaying. Also eligible will be borrowers whose loans are owned and serviced by Sallie Mae and who begin repaying on or after July 1,1993. Stafford loans are originated primarily by banks but also by some state and nonprofit agencies and educational institutions. About $15 billion in Stafford loans are awarded annually, and the total outstanding is $60 billion, according to Sallie Mae. of all such outstanding loans today. Under the program, 2 percent would be shaved from the interest rate on a borrower's loan if payments are-made on time for the first 48 months, Marshall said. The program is limited to Stafford loans, the most common type of student loan under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. A typical borrower with $5,000 in Stafford loans would save $246 over the life of the loan, which is usually 10 years. A borrower with $23,000 in loans — which becomes the undergraduate borrowing limit for Stafford loans in July ■— would save more than $1,100 in interest payments. The first group of students who would benefit by the new program typically have loans with an interest rate of 8 percent in the first four years and 10 percent thereafter, Marshall said. Under the program, on-time payments for the first four years would cut the interest rate for the following years by 2 percent, to 8 percent, she said. Since Oct. 1, Stafford loans have been issued with variable interest rates, set once a year at 3.1 percent above the rate of the 91-day U S . Treasury bill on June 30 and capped at 9 percent. Nearly 20 percent of borrowers of Stafford loans pay on it IS t ie P r t S 3 j T U C K E R - BR AM SEN TIRE L U B E - O IL F IL T E R U nive rsity I i i s ss| ¡SS A F T E R T H E D E A D S H O W ,.. andPAULKANTNER'S WOODEN SHIPS with Wise Monkey Orchestra * F M 1 0 1 .5 P H O S 2 0 33 W.

Traditionally , the United Nations requires the consent of all parties to a conflict before its troops take action. “ As a general policy, we want local consent,” Chinese Ambassador Li Daoyu told reporters Monday. The Security Council, has never been asked to authorize full-scale military intervention for humanitarian reasons. The council approved use of force in Bosnia to safeguard relief convoys, but did not call for a unified command under a member state or under a U.N. flag. Widescale use of force would have to be justified on grounds that the situation in the country jeopardizes regional peace and security. The secretary-general did not suggest troop numbers, but he said it w ould be “ a m ajor m ilitary un d ertak in g ” nationwide. He said any plans should ensure the safety of 550 military personnel and,about 400 civilian aid workers who could be in danger. Under their current mandate, the 500 U.N. soldiers in Somalia need the consent of local authorities to act, and Somalia has no central government.

The party once controlled vast holdings, including office buildings, newspapers, apartments, bank accounts, resorts, schools and hospitals. The timing of the verdict had raised suspicions that the court, formed one year ago, was trying to influence the political process. But the balanced decision preserved its apparent independence. r Chief Judge Valery Zorkin; who presided over the fourmonth trial, announced to a packed courtroom that Yeltsin had authority to take state property away from the party. But he said other property, whose source has not been determ ined, should not have been seized without court approval. “ The ruling has all the qualities of a compromise,” said Andrei Makarov, a Yeltsin lawyer. “ The regional organizations of the Russian Communist Party were pronounced lawful, as well as the property that was not established as belonging to the state,” he said. Another Yeltsin lawyer, Mikhail Fedotov, predicted former Communists will bring lawsuits to try to regain property purchased with party dues, such as old age homes and youth camps. >•-. v ,' Months of legal action almost certainly will be necessary to determine what party property belonged to the state and what was purchasecl from the dues of the party’s 19 m illion members. -“ 1 think this is .a victory not so much for the president as for society as a whole, which is learning to resolve such disputes in a normal, legal fashion,” Fedotov said. Two of the 13 judges disagreed with the majority opinion. One, Victor Luchin, accused the court of making a political decision. ^ G ET IT EVERY M ORNING.

After all, this is a young team. The Sun Devil roster lists only two seniors and a slew o f sophom ores. T here is no question, this is a young ASU team that will play in Brigham Young. NewsChanne) 3 will broadcast the game live 7:30 p.m. today from Provo, Utah. The Sun Devils split in their two preseason co n tests. F irst, ASU fell 98-95 to the Melbourne (Australia) Tigers. The Sun Devils bounced back Saturday and beat Marathon Oil 100-94. ASU coach Bill Fricder said he saw some good things in the preseason games, but he added th at th ere needs to be some improvement. “We have a lot of work to do,” he said. “(T here is) a whole lot of room for improvement.” And to match up to BYU — w hich in preseason polls was ranked No. 31 and is fav o red to w in the W estern A thletic Conference title ASU will have to be right on the mark. BYU coach Roger Reid went 25-7 last year and his team tied for the WAC title. BYU returns 10 lettermen and three starters. For ASU, the season begins with a depth chart that is strained w ith injuries and dismissals. But in the preseason contests, the Sun Devils showcased a smaller, quicker lineup that met with varied success. In Saturday’s game against Marathon Oil, ASU put up 41 shots from three-point land with 17 falling. In the first exhibition game, ASU put up 31 shots from the Promised Land with 12 falling. Leading the squad in Saturday’s game was junior Stevin Smith, who racked up a double­ double, with 37 points and 10 assists. Other standouts were freshman Ron Riley, who totaled 24 points, and seniors Wun Verhser (10 points) and Lester Neal (11 points) also had strong appearances. Still, Fricder, while he liked the success from the trey, said he would like his team to pick it up a notch. “We have to play faster,” he said. “I want to lead the nation in three-point attempts. That’s the style we’ve decided to go with, so we’re going to play as fast as we possibly can.” This is a heated matchup between BYU, as the two have met 40 times with the series locked at 20 each. Fricder has a 54-40 record at ASU. State Press photo A S U junior Stevin Smith led the Sun D evils in their second, and last exhibition game on Saturday.

With five returning starters, the Sun Devils open the season ranked 28th in the A sso cia ted P ress poll,. Independent rankings of various publications place ASU anywhere from ninth to 26th in the country. ’ Tonight’s game will also mark the start of the season for the Comhuskers, who are ranked 37th in the nation by both the Associated Press and USA Today. “(Nebraska) is a very senior-oriented team, traditionally a very good team at home,” Sun Devil coach Maura McHugh said. “Their All-American candidate (forward Karen Jennings) can do it all.” Jennings, a 6-foot-2 senior, was fifth nationally in scoring last season with an average of 25.3 points per game. Jennings also averaged 10 rebounds per outing in 1991-92. Though tonight’s game will be in Lincoln, McHugh said she expects the team to perform well on the road this season. “That (the Nebraska game) is going to be a tough test for us,” McHugh said. “It will be on the road, but if any team can play on the road, this team should be able to with the seniors that we have.” M c H ugh “Nebraska (would be) a major win for u s,” added Sun Devil forw ard Monique Ambers. On Saturday, ASU soundly defeated the Belgium National Team 93-42 in an exhibition game. Eight Sun Devils scored at least eight points against the Belgians, with center Lisa Salsman leading the way with 13. Ambers and senior point guard Ryneldi Becenti added 12 and 11, respectively. ASU soundly outrebounded Belgium by a 51-25 margin, Officials say recruiting ways haven’t changed ASU Athletics First in a series. B y L isa I. K ranz S tate P ress In-the-know ASU athletic officials maintain that recruiting has not been adversely affected by the recent rash of criminal activity plaguing ASU this fall. The unfavorable aftermath that has followed has not been an extremely negative factor either. Many say the effect has been just the opposite. “You’ve heard it a couple of times, but I don’t think it concerns (visiting recruits) because they see what we have and they talk to our coaches,” Sun Devil women’s basketball coach Maura McHugh said. “We have a beautiful school with great facilities.” ' ASU Director of Athletics Charles S. Harris said the issue of athletes who broke the law and what steps were taken in response are openly discussed with potential recruits. “Their main decision to come here should be an informed decision,” Harris said. “Them finding out about us is equally important as us finding out all we can about them.” Harris added that the prospective athletes and their families are pleased with the way ASU administrators and coaches have handled the dubious situation. “(Potential recruits and their families) applaud the way our coaches use candor,” Harris said. “Generally, people have been very relieved to'know we took steps right away and are appreciative of the information.” In fact, Harris said approximately nine different schools have called ASU asking for copies of the framework of sanctions announced a few weeks ago. The apparent issue concerning visiting recruits is whether or not the athletic-crime issue will have an impact from an NCAA standpoint. But Harris refuted that concern and he said he assures recruits that it will not. What ASU does have to fight, said Sun Devil volleyball coach Patti Snyder, is the bigger image of being a party and Becenti hit a trio of three-point shots. The Sun Devils converted 26 of 37 free throw attempts and shot 47 percent from the field. Nebraska would seem to pose a more formidable test, as the Comhuskers went 21-11 last season and earned a berth in the NCAA tournament. The Sun Devils have high expectations of their own this season, as the key ingredients from last year’s surprising team have all returned. However, McHugh said she does not feel the added pressure to succeed will affect the senior-dominated Sun Devils. “I think it (the pressure) is'going to be more of a positive incentive to our team,” McHugh said. “I think this is going to add to the fact that they feel like we can do it.” ASU and Nebraska have met only three times previously, with the Sun Devils holding a 2-1 advantage. Tonight’s game will mark the first time the two teams have met since 1982. The Sun Devils have won their last seven opening games and are 13-4 overall in season-openers.

She said it is d ifficu lt because ASU recruits nationally and having the party image sometimes will sway athletes away from ASU. Snyder said she doesn’t think the recruiting has been adversely affected. “We’ve had about six Or seven visits and is hasn’t been an issue at all. They’re realistic about it ... it shouldn’t be a factor because we have good graduation rates and good GPAs and student success.’’ That’s not ail this University offers, said athletic recruiting coordinator Ron Cox. “We have a rich tradition and lots of successes in athletics, and, because of the national recognition the Pac-10 commands, there is a desire for kids in athletics to have an involvement with ASU, to compete against the b est in the country and experience the real leadership in our coaches,” Cox said. Cox added the first two things visiting athletes generally see — and like — at ASU are the attractive physical attributes of the campus and the people. Kirk Johnson, a recent recruit, agreed. “The coaches and faculty did a great job and have been really supportive and kind,” he said. “I was surprised at how much attention they paicl to the normal student. “You’d think you’d be just a number here, but there's a lot of caring and support.” The pre-med freshman says he’s glad he chose ASU over such other pow erhouse institutions as Stanford, Northwestern and Harvard. M cHugh said its im portant for people not to generalize from the few athletes who com m itted crimes to every one of ASU’s 550 student athletes. “I think if people have to use that (negative hype) against you then obviously they’re afraid of you,” she said. “TTiey’re afraid of kids coming here and seeing what we have to offer. “Otherwise, they wouldn’t have to talk about us. If you’re real secure with what you have, you don’t really have to spend time on anybody else. That’s our philosophy with recruiting. We discuss our program, our playing, where we’re going.” Jets fans, players, h old breath for Byrd Football player has broken neck, remains paralyzed in hospital bed HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — Anguish is written on their faces. Uncertainty punctuates their words. Hope and prayer accompanies their thoughts. The New York Jets are trying to deal with the reality of one of their own, Dennis Byrd, lying virtually motionless in a hospital bed. Byrd broke a vertebra in his neck in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. On Monday, he was in stable condition at Lenox Hill Hospital, without feeling in his legs and only partial use of his arms. “We’re all shocked and distraught,” Jets coach Bruce Coslet said after giving the players the day off. “This is a tragedy, but we don’t know to what extent.” Byrd, 26, told several teammates who visited him Sunday night that he “didn’t worry about playing football again. I want to hold my girls again.” He was referring to his wife Angela and 2-year-old daughter Ashtin. Angela Byrd found out three weeks ago that she is pregnant. Jets placekicker Cary Blanchard fought tears Monday as he described an impromptu prayer meeting at the hospital. Byrd, Blanchard, Paul Frase, Marvin Washington, Brian Washington and Mario Johnson were involved, as were Angela Byrd and Blanchard’s wife Mindi. “Paul and I held his hands and we prayed,” Blanchard said. “He has a very strong belief in God and he told me to tell the team, ‘I love them and to say prayers. It’s great to be in all your prayers.’” Mindi Blanchard added that Byrd’s wife told her Byrd was able to move his right toe Monday morning. “He asked Angela if he got the sack,” Cary Blanchard said. Punter Louie Aguiar is one of Byrd’s closest friends on the Jets. “Dennis and I do a lot of things together,” Aguiar said. “When I first got here, I didn’t know anybody. He took me under his wing, took me to restaurants or the movies like a little brother. Dennis means a lot to me.” Aguiar said most of the players and coaches were gathered in the offensive players’ meeting room when Erase “got up to tell us what Dennis went through last night.” Byrd underwent nearly eight hours of tests before being placed in a “halo,” a device that stabilizes the head and neck. “Everybody took ÁMOCtafeMl Ptms New Y o rk J e ts fo o tb a ll p la y er D e n n is B y rd w a s in jured Sunday Iri a game against Kansas City.

Ever. “You can’t forget it, but you can’t let it affect you to the point it affects (living) your life. If you want to talk positively ...
