Campus administrators originally proposed $45 to $60 parking fees for several lots, but now they are recommending Such fees for just one lot, the chairman of an ASU West advisory commit­ tee on parking said Wednesday. Barry Bruns, chairman of the advisory com­ mittee and vice provost for planning and budget at ASU West, said administrators hope thé park­ ing fees will take parking maintenance off of the state operating budget. • "The com m ittee right now is looking at charging for certain lots," Bruns said. “There is just one lot that we are looking at now. which has a gate, and that would cost money. The oth­ ers would remain open." . Valerie Jones, ASU West forum communica­ tor, said the campus' student forum collected 750 student signatures opposing the proposed park­ ing fees. Jones said she believes the student petitions kept the administration from imposing parking fees on extra lots. “I honestly felt they were talking about possi­ bly gating more lots, but it wasn't directly writ­ ten into this draft," Jones said. “I firmly believe the fact that everybody was out there talking about (proposed parking fees) and asking quesT urn to P arking, page 2.

Students milled around the Computing Commons Wednesday, waiting for others to finish their assignments so they could jump into seats and start their own work. One ASU technology official is hoping to siphon off some of these delayed students to other computing sites around campus by upgrading outdated computers in those areas. William Lewis, vice provost for information technology, said Wednesday that he wants about $250,000 to upgrade 105 older computers at the small computer sites. This would reduce the amount of time that students have to stand around before getting a computer at the Commons, he said. “One of the problems that we’re having is that the machines here in the Commons building are all top of the line,” Lewis said. “This draws people who want to use high-powered machines to the Commons and increases the crowding. “If we make the other sites as attractive as the Commons, we can reduce some of its overcrowding,” he added, though he quick­ ly admitted that upgrading other sites won’t completely reduce the delay. Lewis said he wants to upgrade 25 IBM PC-compatibles and 80 low-end Apple Macintosh units at the smaller sites around campus. He said he expects a decision on the funding next semester. Lewis said the money will come from internal reallocations of available funds, such as when a faculty position remains open for a period of time and no salary is paid. He added that this money could not go to areas such as classi­ fied staff and faculty raises because it is a one-time issuance. ► An ASU researcher is measuring the Earth’s past temperatures by examining rocks.

Page 9 ASU officials will keep a close watch on UofA during the win­ ter break when the Tucson school closes for a week to cut down utility costs. ASU President Lattie Coor said the University considered a similar shutdown before, but administrators will make another judgment of a closure after seeing the results at UofA. “We will certainly look and see what their experience is," he said. “They obviously are expediting some energy savings.” Coor said When ASU originally considered a partial closing, administrators decided that the savings would not override the costs to University personnel and programs. “When we looked into it, we factored the labs and the library and came to the conclusion that there wouldn’t be enough (sav­ ings) to make it worthwhile,” he said. Coor said some facilities need to remain open during the holi­ day break, such as research labs and administrative services. “There’s always a trade-off,” he said. “Many faculty work actively during the break, a good deal of research gets done, a lot of administrative work takes place that we absolutely have to do, and the development office is accepting gifts through the end of the year.” ±. ' Coor said the other barrier to a shutdown is the alterations that would need to be done to employees’ holiday schedules. ‘‘When we looked into it on our own, wé didn’t think it would provide us with the savings we would need to alter people’s per­ sonal workdays,” he said. Robert Curry, president of classified staff council, said such a move would concern classified staff. He said the council is con­ sidering a closure, but has found staff who disagree about how to alter their work and holiday pay. UofA classified staff are required to take three days off during World AIDS Day activist groups try to boost awareness of the disease. Page 3 C e n te r s e c tio n page 2.

H from page “The goal is to make the program out here self-supporting,” Bruns said. “It will have to be a phased-in kind of thing, as opposed to doing it all within a single year.” Jones, who was also-a member of the adviso­ ry committee, said she was pleased students were permitted to serve on the committee. “That was a big plus to me,” Jones said. “The committee was a well-informed group —- they didn’t come into this not having any idea What was going on. They asked pertinent questions.” Bruns said ASU West administrators will take the petitions into consideration when dis­ cussing parking proposals, but he isn’t sure how much they will affect the final draft’s position. “(Students’ petitions) were heard — we have them on file.” Bruns said. “But what we have to weigh that against is that ASU students in Tempe have to pay to park.” 1. The Commons, which opened in September, has about 200 computers for individual student use, but Lewis said that is not enough to meet large student demands for computer time. “It’s the overcrowding problem and the fact that we’re using technology bought six to eight years ago,” said Lewis, explaining why he thinks more money should be channeled into campus computers. Assam Ali-Sabih, a senior marketing major, stood near a group of Macintoshes Wednesday afternoon at the Commons, hoping he would quickly get a computer to use some high-pow­ ered applications. . “You just have to look for someone who’s closing down a computer,” he said. “I’m used to it. It’s better than nothing, the way I look at it.” However, Ali-Sabih said he sees room for improvement. He said “without a doubt” that upgrading older computers would reduce some of the traffic in the Commons. “But I don’t think a quarter of a million dollars is going to cover all of it,” he added. ASU Provost Milton Click said at this point it is difficult to tell if the money will be available X, S P R IN G 1. Computers Closure __ the week, either using vacation pay or without payCurry told the State Press in September that classified staff officials were considering a shut­ down to save money on utilities since there are typically a small number of staff and students on campus during the holidays. He also said the shutdown would provide the possibility of giv­ ing staff members additional time off during the holiday. . • Coor said after reviewing the results at UofA, his administration will seek opinions from the from page tions, it made the administration step up and take notice. “I’m very pleased at the response we got from the students on this petition. I feel that without the students involvement, the fees would have been im plem ented and the students wouldn’t have had any say.” Bruns said the advisory committee is recom­ mending a $25 a year parking fee on the gated lot. ASU W est Provost Ben Forsyth, who appointed the advisory committee, said he hasn’t received the group’s parking fee recommenda­ tion yet. “1 imagine by the end of this month I ’ll receive their proposal, but I have not been given a formal date,” Forsyth said. Bruns said ASU West is trying to make its parking lots self-sufficient by charging parking fees.

O M r a i ^ m^ —— W o r ld /N a tio n State P ress A rqund /iL rizo n a I\ieson resident sues city for juvenile gun ban repeal TUCSON (AP) —r A resident has sued the c ity , asking that the C ity Council be ordered to repeal a juvenile gun ban that the council approved last month despite being advised it violated state law. At issue in the suit filed Tuesday in Pima County Superior Court by Robert W. Bourassa is a Nov. 15 law prohibit­ ing anyone under 18 from carrying a gun unless his or her parents are pre­ sent. Officials have said the law appears to contradict an earlier state statute, which specifically prohibited cities from making their own juvenile gun laws. The state law allows teens between 14 and 17 to carry a gun if they are involved in target-shooting or hunting, regardless of who is present. A cting P olice C h ief M ichael Ulichny said Tucson’s law is not being enforced pending a ruling by City Attorney Fred Dean, but said that early indications are the law will never go into effect. Dean told council members at two meetings the law was illegal and unenforceable. Shooting restricted in Prescott National Forest PRESCOTT (AP) — Shooting by non-hunters has been banned in a 2.5square-m ile area o f the P rescott National Forest because of complaints from area residents about a hail of stray bullets dam aging their property and endangering their lives. . The order issued Monday by forest Supervisor Coy Jemmett closes the area west of town to so-called recreational shooting, but allows hunters with valid licenses to shoot, said Steve Walker, the forests* planning and information offi­ cer. Walker said it’s the first such order issued for a national forest in Arizona. Recreational shooting generally isn’t restricted in national forests. Violators will be subject to $500 fin es and ja il sentences up to six months. Target shooters have long used “bor­ row pits” where rock was removed from the ground. But as the area has devel­ oped, careless or irresponsible gun own­ ers have sent bullets whizzing danger­ ously close to hikers and horseback rid. ers, residents say. ' ' , APS parent company settles lawsuits over failed thrift PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Public S ervice C o .’s parent com pany has agreed to pay $5.75 million to settle lawsuits stemming from MeraBank, a thrift acquired in the mid 1980$ as the cornerstone of a failed diversification effort. Together with payments by Pinnacle West Capital Corp.’s insurers, the settle­ ments total $61.2 million, the company said Wednesday. O f the $61.2 million, $34 million will be used to resolve a class-action lawsuit filed in 1988 by shareholders who alleged Pinnacle W est’s stock prices were inflated by m isleading information from the company and its executives. The remaining $27.6 m illion will settle the bulk o f a 1991 law suit in w h|cb the federal R esolution T rust Carp, alleged negligence and breach of fiduciary duty by former officers and directors of MeraBank. Still pending are claims between the RTC and two for­ mer MeraBank officers.

Thursday, December 2,1993 P age 3 Clinton, world mark AIDS Day WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton marked World AIDS Day with stamps, speeches and symbolic gestures, visiting AIDS patients in a hospital and pledging to fight an epidemic that has brought out “the best and the worst in America.” Post offices began selling millions of 29-cent stamps showing the red ribbon of AIDS aware­ ness. The White House floodlights were being doused for 15 minutes Wednesday night as a reminder of the disease that has claimed more than 200.000 American lives.. - AIDS quilts with mementoes of the dead were hung from the upper floors of the Old Executive Office Building next to the presiden­ tial mansion. Health Secretary Donna Shalala and Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders donned aprons and dished out scrambled eggs and sausages to HIVinfected homeless men in a clinic atop an innercity shelter. Half the Cabinet marked the day at other ceremonies. Clinton began his day jogging in a T-shirt that proclaimed, “Time to Act: World AIDS D ay.” L ater he met with AIDS p atients at Georgetown Medical Center and delivered an emotional speech before an audience of doctors, researchers and activists. A quilt on the wall bore a picture of Dan Bradley, a Clinton friend and former Legal Services Corp. official who died of AIDS in 1988. “For nearly every American with eyes and ears open, the face of AIDS is no longer the face of a stranger,” said the president. World AIDS. Day. he said, is a reminder “our attitudes, behavior and passion should be revved up in the other 364 days of the year.” Suddenly, a demonstrator sprinted up the aisle shouting. “Talk is cheap, and we need action. You’re hiding behind the quilts. You are doing nothing,” ; the young man yelled before he was led away. “It’s all right. It’s all right,” said Clinton as the audience booed the protester. “Part of my job is to be a lightning rod ... to lift the hopes and aspirations of the American people,” said Clinton, even though “there’s no way I can now keep everybody alive who already has AIDS.” Elsewhere on World AIDS Day: • Unfinished artwork was exhibited in muse­ ums in New York, Chicago and other cities to commemorate artists killed by AIDS. • As at the White House, lights were dimmed or turned off Wednesday evening in buildings in major cities. • Overseas, condoms were handed out on street comers from Berlin to Bulgaria to symbol- Luke Sissyfag of the group A C T UP is led away from President Clinton at the Georgetown Medical Center in W ashington W ednesday.

In Paris, activists used a crane to hoist a giant pink condom over the 75-foot obelisk in the Place de la Concorde. At the hospital in W ashington, C linton voiced hope that one of the patients he met, 21year-old Jenny Dorr, would live “to a ripe old age.” A nother p atien t, Larry S ingletary, 38, grabbed the president’s hand and said he was hoping “for the best and hoping that you appro­ priate lots o f money so research can be done.” As a candidate, Clinton often faulted thenPresidcnt Bush for not doing more to stop the incurable disease and educate the public on ways to prevent its spread. He promised to give AIDS research the urgency of the Manhattan Project, the crash program to develop the atomic bomb in World War II. The AIDS research budget has increased 21 percent this year to $1.3 billion, and the adminis­ tration and Congress have boosted funds for AIDS service programs by 66 percent to $579 million. On Tuesday Shalala announced forma­ tion of a task force of leaders from government, industry, academia and activist groups to speed the search for breakthrough drugs.

Palestinian militants kill Israeli teacher EL BIREH, Occupied West Bank (AP) —- In the latest assau lt on M ideast peace plans, Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli kindergarten teacher and w ounded three Jew ish settlers Wednesday as they stood by their disabled car. Two groups of Palestinian radicals opposed ' to the Israel-PLO autonomy accord claimed responsibility for the drive-by shooting on the West Bank, and settlers swore to do everything they could to block the turnover of authority. The drive-by attack took place after the bloodiest day in the territories since the Sept. 13 agreement was signed. Unrest in the occupied lands has escalated with the approach of a Dec. 13 deadline, set down in the accord, to start the turnover of control to Palestinians. Shalva Osana, 24, a teacher at the nearby Beit El settlement, was killed Wednesday and Yitzhak Weinstock, 19, a Jewish seminary stu­ dent, was critically wounded as they stood out­ side their rented Fiat Uno. Two other passengers were slightly hurt in the attack at the entrance to El Bireh, seven miles north of Jerusalem. The car, w hich had a problem with its exhaust system, was still up on its jack after the attack. There was a pool of blood behind the car and the victims’ blood-soaked clothing was piled nearby. Bandages were strewn about on the ground. There were two claims of responsibility . The Muslim militant group Hamas proclaimed on loudspeakers in Gaza City that the attack was in retaliation for the Nov. 24 killing of Imad Aqal, head of the group’s military wing. The other was from the Democratic Front, a radical PLO faction that said in Damascus it was avenging the killing of Palestinians by Jewish settlers. Both groups oppose the peace pact, which does not guarantee the eventual establishment of a Palestinian state. Settlers vowed reprisals, and some threatened to fire on Palestinian police who are to start patrolling the Gaza Strip and Jericho on the West Bank after Israeli troops withdraw. “The Arabs have reason to worry because they give full backing to the murderers,” settler leader Pinchas Wallerstein said after a raucous meeting where settlers, some banging fists on tab les, argued o ver how to respond to Wednesday’s killing. “The Arabs want to kill us, and the Israeli governm ent is giving them w eapons,” Wallerstein said. Aharon Domb, a settler spokesman, swore to shoot any Palestinian police officer that he encounters after self-rule is established. “Any Arab policeman with a gun is a poten­ tial terrorist, and we will open fire on him,” he said. ■t * The escalating violence, com bined with uncertainty about the future, is steadily eroding public support for the peace agreement on both sides.

O p in io n P age 4 _____________________________________________ _________ Thursday, December 2,1993 ' STATE PRESS AIDS: No one-day affair Yesterday was World AIDS Day, a day for everyone to think about the trials of those who have contracted the horrible disease. It was also a day to think of what each individual can do to help stop the spread of the disease. But that was yesterday. So do we all stop thinking about AIDS now that the official day:, has passed? Not exactly. You can’t stop thinking about i t The disease carries an automatic death sentence: Hard to for­ get, especially when you consider you don't necessarily know who has it You may have the disease already. At least the U.S. government has finally start­ ed putting its money where its mouth is in regards to AIDS treatment and research. AIDS spending is up, thanks primarily to Bill Clinton — money for AIDS research has increased 21 percent this year to $1.3 billion and funds for AIDS service programs have increased by a whopping 66 percent, now at $579 million. This is a big turnaround from 12 years of Republican administrative control where “don’t say, don’t spend” seemed to be the White House rule of thumb. It took years for Ronald Reagan to even men­ tion the word AIDS in public. Initial research by the Centers for Disease Control in the early 1980s was all but halted because binding wasn’t made available. It’s doubtful Reagan or his administration cared, since at the time the dis­ ease was mistakenly believed by many people to be a “gay disease.” It is not. Even if it was, that shouldn’t have been used a justification to ignore the dreaded illness’ existence. Work done in the disease’s infancy could have helped stop or at least slow its spread. Regardless, research would be years ahead of where it is now. In the meantime, people are dying. Spending oh research inched up slowly as the disease became more prevalent in the late 1980s. AIDS sufferers, with butgeoning numbers, have become their own political action committee of sorts. They refuse to let the government ignore them. And they deserve all the assistance their country can give them. There are some people reading this who may be disgusted that their government is spending money on AIDS research. They still believe the disease is contracted only by gays, or was at least spread by gays and transmitted to the het­ erosexual population by bisexuals. Some idiots actually believe jh e disease was put on Earth by God m get rid of gays. Amazing. So you see, you cannot stop thinking about this disease. For your own sake and for die sake of generations to follow. If the idiots and zealots of our time ran the show and let the disease run its course, th e human ra c e would soon be doomed, eliminated by a disease they thought was controlled by the hand of God.

Talbott Smith Jason Owsley E d ito r Managing Editor STATE PRESS TAFF James Frnsetta O pinion Editor Debate on guns typically ignores substance for symbols, ideology When people have inquired about my colum ns th is sem ester, I have invariably been asked three questions. Q: Is it hard coming up with ideas? A: Yes. Q: Does it take a long time to write acolumn? A: No. Q: Do you read the “Letters to the Editor" that are written about you? A: Sometimes. O bviously, these are sim plified answers. Yet each week has been dif­ ferent from every other. D ifferent am ounts o f school and work. D ifferent am ounts o f news. Different amounts of sleep. All of these things have had an effect on what particular issue grabbed my attention. And that is exactly how I come up with ideas. Contrary to what some of my detractors may think, I do not have a political, moral, or other ideological agenda to-push on unsuspecting read­ ers. I simply write about a contemporary concern that I happen to have an opinion on. Sure, some columns take longer to write than others. Some are well formulated even before I sit down at a Macintosh in the base­ ment of the BAC building. Yes, I do my typing at the same place that some of you do yours. I have no secret enclave where I con­ jure up my “ignorant, inconsistent, and absurd” thoughts. Most of the time, my column is written on Tuesday mornings. There is a good reason for that—deadline is Tuesday at noon. As a rule of thumb, then, a column takes about as much time to write as the amount of time I've got to write it. Of course, there are the letters. Some readers seem to think that the only reason I write is to receive nasty letters. And they’re partly correct. Actually, I strive to attain the lofty goal of challenging my readers to think. Letters, in response to a column, can be inteipreted as a sign that my writing so provoked my readers to think that they took the time to become writers themselves. More often than not, though, letter writers are too busy telling me that I am a “pathetic, preposterous, and clueless” individual to significantly address any real issues. Thus, I seldom finish reading letters. But I still find them fascinating. Because I have found that most of the discussion going on in the arena of American public policy today, whether you’re listening to a talk-show host, a politician, or the person-on-the-street, has degenerated into unclear and illogical argumentation. No matter what issue is being discussed, the debate usually ends up with two polarized sides (be they Democrat/Republican, liberal/conservative, or left-wing/right-wing) throwing around ridiculous stereotypes, exaggerated statistics, and petty names. It seems the public knows that, when enough mud is thrown, some will stick. Defeating the opponent’s argument isn’t nearly as successful as beating up the opponent’s image. Consequently, dehates have turned into a convenient way to demonize the other side, while neglecting the complex and com­ mon evil that divides the two factions in the first place. Need an example? Look at the gun control debate. After watching the recent discussions surrounding the Brady Bill, I am convinced that Congress ignored the one evil that divid­ ed them. That demon is, of course, handguns. As you probably already know, a handgun bill, which will require a five-day waiting period and a background check on all handgun purchases, was passed by Congress last Wednesday. : As expected, the debate surrounding handgun control waii clouded and convoluted. I hope that both sides will excuse me for my unsophisticated simplicity, but I don’t understand the issue of handgun control to be very complicated. , As i see it, handgun control isn’t about curbing crime. It isn’t about stopping random, senseless violence. Nor is it. about gangs or drugs. Likewise, handgun control isn’t about gun education. It isn’t about the violation of a basic Constitutional right. Nor is it about personal protection; * With all o f the smoke, everyone forgot that handguns were created, and continue to be made, for one explicit reason. The sole purpose of the handgun is to kill people. Quickly and easily. Just point and shoot. Thus, while all of Congress got caught up in charges of spread­ ing misinformation, unfounded fear, and political correctness, our representatives forgot to deal with handgun control.. And the only way to control handguns is to make them unavailable. In. the end, the problem isn’t that handguns are being sold, waiting periods and background checks aside. The real problem is that handguns exist. Yet if you don’t agree with me, write a letter to the editor But please, before you send it in, scratch out the ad hominem argumentation.

Athletic department woes reached their peak in September 1992, when five athletes were involved in severe brushes with the law during a 15-day period, Now, the department is in the midst of a revamping effort spearhead­ ed by President L attie Coor. Two administrative task force committees commissioned by Coor in September are due to report back to hint on Dec. 15. Their task?.Finding feasible ways to implement two reports' recommendations to redefine the role of student-athletes at ASU. The reports — which drew headlines due to the suggestion in one that ASU Athletic Director Charles Harris be re-evaluated as the department’s chief executive — claim that stüdent-athletes are isolated at ASU. Among their recommendations are to recruit bet­ ter students and tp monitor them more closely Once they arrive. Last fall’s events clearly signaled that the athletic department was in dire need of reform. Coor’s formation of committees was a prompt and appropriate response, and some of their recommenda­ tions are solid. But many are vague, exceedingly idealistic and altogether incongruous with the role the University serves. Simply put, ASU is not Stanford. It is, however, an excellent up-and-coming public university whose academic reputation is growing each year. Several units on campus enjoy national pres­ tige. But the University simply has not reached the point where talented big-time athletes whose post-graduate aspirations lean more toward Oxford than to the NFL or NBA will choose it over academically elite institutions that also boast solid athletic pro­ pus, where like-minded students are grouped together.

One thing the University Committee on Student Athletes rec­ percent of last year’s graduating class earned degrees within six ommended was that ASU concentrate qn recruiting freshmen years, compared to 32 percent two years ago.

Tempe Afiz., 85287-1502 S ta te Press fails to exam in e truths o f test preparation I am writing in response to a pair of recent articles you have run regarding standardized testing. I believe that the level of jour­ nalistic professionalism you have displayed in this field has been inadequate. First, 1 would like to bring up thé recent article concerning a local test preparation Company “cheating” on the GRE. This topic could very well make for a good story; this accusation is leveled at test preparation companies routinely, Unfortunately, you chose to publish a privately sponsored press release instead. I am sur­ prised that the reporters put their names to the piece. Granted, yoii fleshed it out a little, but in essence the story reads like a press,, release. There are further problems. The quotes from Ted Humphrey display his lack of knowledge in the area — what qualified him to discuss standardized tests? The so-called “techniques” of the ASU testing center should have been fleshed o ut Are they really “more reliable and consistent?” Than what? Doing nothing? Why weren’t thè other commercial test preparation companies, who have a great deal of information regarding these tests, con­ sulted? You would have found that “breaking test codes” — a method of approaching test questions other than the approach the test writers intended — is a norm in the test prep business. You quoted Tucson officials, as opposed to Tempe officials, from the test prep company. A remarkably similar article appeared in a Louisiana college newspaper, and to add insult to injury, in the Daily Wildcat. How about that last paragraph citing the prep company owners? A shameless plug. The equivalent of a press release on the front page is woeful journalism. The prep company scored quite a coup, and journalistic standards and readers seeking information were the losers. The same'can be said of an article from columnist Michael Kantor regarding the biases of the SAT. Kantor states that the SAT is not only an unbiased indicator of "blacks’” performance, but that it is a “fair and socially progressive institution.” Kantor uses the emotional-laden symbolism of “whites” perpetuating control over “blacks" and injecting AIDS into black babies to draw attention away from his tenuous argument for the SAT’s fairness. Kantor ignores a plethora of research on the validity of the SAT, most of it damning. The research that doesn't lambaste the SAT typically comes from — where else — the test writers and sponsors themselves. Even this research is not always positive: in fact, it may well interest Kantor to know that the company respon­ sible for the SAT has concluded, from its own research, that the test is significantly biased against women. The SAT has yet to fair for anyone other than upper-middle class white males from New Jersey, the people who write the test, and it has most certainly never "progressed” anyone; in fact, it may well be amongst the greatest hindrances to achievement ever invented. Remember how certain election laws required the ability to quote parts of the Constitution in order to vote? This isn’t quite so extreme, but may function in a similar way to restrict minority access to a public good: an education. There are many interesting topics for the State Press to cover in the field of standardized testing. These tests are abominable, and yet quite a few ASU students will have to face them if they are considering further education. A more balanced, inquisitive look into this area will better serve those readers who will face such tests than the material that has been printed to date.

STATE PRESS Thursday, December 2,1993 __ Semester’s end stressful for most students, official says B y J o h n S u l l iv a n C o n t r ib u t in g W r it e r If the onslaught of term papers and final exams is causing you sleepless nights and frantic days, you’re not alone, according to health edu­ cator Danae Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who works at the Student Health Center at ASU, says that the last few weeks before the end of a semester are one of three “high stress” periods of the year for students. The other two are right before midterm exams and the first weeks of school. These times can be especially hard for new students, because of lim­ ited experience in the academ ic arena, Rodriguez said. Further, new students don’t usually have the social contacts to form an effective support sys­ tem, She said. Rodriguez said many stressful situations can be minimized by learning good time manage­ ment techniques, á subject she teaches. She said thinking ahead and not procrastinating are key elements of successful time management, and preparation should be a continual goal. “It’s a constant thing,” Rodriguez said, “You should always be working a month ahead of schedule.” Rodriguez said that some basic tools that State Press P o l ic e R epo r ts- may help facilitate relaxation are moderate exer­ cise, a balanced diet and simply making time to play. She said it is important to learn stress man­ agement techniques well in advance of crisis sit­ uations, so that they can be utilized effectively. However, Rodriguez said most students don’t learn this until after a couple of semesters of “all-nighters” where they’ve relied too heavily on alcohol and caffeine to get them through the “crunch times.” She added that graduate students generally overuse stimulants and depressants the most, because they are usually ju g g lin g a lot of responsibilities. Rodriguez said it is important for students who are feeling “stressed” to stay aware of “four C’s”: ■. . • Control, or the ability to impact a situation. If the control seems to be slipping away in class, she advises seeing your professor for assistance. • Commitment — or reaffirming your goals for going to school. • Connections — the maintenance of aca­ demic and social support systems. . • Challenge — it’s healthy to be challenged, but not ovèrwhelmed by school.

Page 8 S ta te P ress Thursday, December 2,1993 Cool Earth leads to flourishing of life B y G ar in G roff State P ress An ASU researcher who has measured the Earth's past tem­ peratures by using rocks as thermometers says he believes the recent flourishing of life is related to unprecedented cool tempera­ tures. Geology professor Paul Kanauth said that by measuring the amount of oxygen-18 in rocks called churts, scientists can deter­ mine what temperature they formed at, allowing for a record of the Earth’s temperature to be made. “These things are like little thermometers,” he said. “They’re like tape recorders laying in the ground recording the temperature at which they were formed.” Kanauth correlates the time at which different temperatures occurred with types of life found at the time. A fairly reliable temperature record exists because large numbers o f churts formed in marine sediments over the last 3,5 billion years, he said. Low concentrations of oxygen-18 found in the oldest churts suggest that the temperature of the Earth was 120 to 140 degrees 3.5 billion years ago, Kanauth said. “It was shockingly warm,” he said. “It may have been as warm as hot tap water over the entire Earth. It was probably too hot to touch.” These high temperatures prevented the formation of life other than blue-green algae, he said. “The general overall trend is that we get shockingly high tem­ peratures for the first half of Earth history, if not the first threequarters,” Kanauth said. “And that, for my money, retarded evo­ lution on this planet.” Kanauth’s charts of tjie Earth’s temperatures show the planet has cooled considerably, now averaging between about 46 and 55 degrees. “It’s conceivable that we are at the coldest time at our histo­ ry,” he said. The cooler conditions likely allowed for advanced forms of life to evolve, he said. While the Earth is 4,5 billion years old, an “explosion of life” did not occur until the Earth cooled consider­ ably roughly 550 million years ago, according to Kanauth. “We think the Earth was simply to hot for more advanced life forms to evolve,” he said. While Kanauth has observed an overall cooling trend for hun­ dreds of millions of years, he said he cannot predict future tem­ perature trends. To obtain churt samples for his National Science Foundationfunded research, Kanauth has traveled across the globe to collect the commonly occurring churts. “I ’ve come out o f the Grand Canyon after two-and-a-half weeks to collect data that comes out as three little points on that graph,” he said. “And those were death marches in those parts of the canyon.” Italian lee ^ f C l M I C .In c N> W o RED 106 E.

S t ate P ress T hursday, D ecem ber 2 ,1 9 9 3 Board cites financial woes as reason for closure B y J a s o n H il l S t a t e P r ess The board o f directors o f M ill .Avenue Performs voted unanimously to terminate the Mill Avenue Theatre and refund all season tick­ ets to customers. “Lacking sufficient funds to cover both ini­ tial production dosts and basic operations we cannot justify continuing,” said MAP President David Strang. “At this point, we do not have enough time or volunteers to pursue the longrange marketing and fund-raising plan devel­ oped by our marketing advisory task force.” Ben T yler, artistic director for the M ill Avenue Theatre, is saddened by the decision to close the 5-year-old theater. Tyler, who founded the theater in 1988 with Bruce Miles, said the theater had always made an effort to use ASU theater majors for their plays. “Season ticket sales were actually really good,” Tyler said. “We sold 650 tickets, which is a lot for a theater which was offering season tickets for the very first time.” . The theater will refund $31,850 to season ticket holders who will not be able to see the scheduled plays “Snowbirds,” “Bah, Humbug!,” “Guv II" and “The 25th Man,” “We simply did not have enough money in the way of grants from the city and support from our board,” Tyler added. The Mill Avenue Theatre had just recently turned non-profit as a way of easing the burden of trying to succeed as a profit driven business when the board scrapped the playhouse, Tyler said. Tyler said the reason for closing the theater is solely financial. “We failed to generate enough support to m eet our g o als,” said E xecutive D irecto r Candice Miles. “Operating monies that we counted on for 1993-94 budget failed to materi­ alize and with our limited resources we can do no more.” “The Mill Avenue Theatre has been a good feature down here a number of years and they certainly put up a good fight; it’s very sad that they went under,” said Linda Wright, chairwom­ an of the Fine Arts College. “I’m very disappointed in the fact that they won’t be there and I just hope someone else comes to Tempe to preserve theater because it’s very accessible for the University,” said Gus Edwards, associate professor of theater. Edw ards said theaters should publicize upcoming plays on billboards or other public signs and that different theaters should advertise each other in their playlists. “We need more cooperation between the the­ aters. When I go to San Francisco, I don’t go to one play and not want to see another. So when I read the playlist, I can say, ‘Ahh, there’s some­ thing going on over there, I’ll go see that,’” Edwards said.

Tope died Nov. 24 in a convalescent hospi­ tal in suburban Pasadena, 19 months after he was beaten into a coma while trying to stop looters, D istrict A ttorney Gil G arcetti said Wednesday. Tope, 54, never regained consciousness after the April 3Q, 1992, attack in Hollywood. His death brought to 55 the number of peo­ ple killed in the three days o f riots, which erupted after four white police officers were acquitted o f nearly a ll state charges in the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King, Two were later convicted of federal civil rights charges. Fidel Ortiz, 22, and Leonard Sosa, 24, have pleaded innocent to attem pted m urder and aggravated mayhem in the Tope attack and are awaiting trial. Each is being held on $750,000 bail. Prosecutors were waiting for a coroner’s report before deciding w hether to file other charges, Garcetti said. Authorities have three years and a day to file murder charges. Tope, trained as an electrical engineer, had turned to Christianity in the mid-1960s and attended a sem inary in Pasadena. He left before graduation to preach on his own, often in tough neighbortioods. After watching the city burn on the first day o f the riots, friends said, he decided to do something about it. Tope went to a strip mall in a rough section o f Hollywood and started preaching to people looting stores, “He did a noble thing. You’ve got to give him credit,” said his brother, Dennis Tope. “I tell you something, if there’s a heaven, Wally will be there. If he’s not, the rest of us don’t have a ghost of a chance.” ' • Ortiz told police Tope confronted him, told him to repent or go to hell.'The men scuffled. Sosa said he jumped in to help his friend, according to police reports. Witnesses said Tope was beaten and kicked in the head for about three minutes. The defendants never intended to kill Tope,, said Sosa’s attorney, Marvin L. Part. “They feel terrible about what happened,” expect to be punished, but aren’t murderers, Part said. Neither had been in trouble before, he said. A memorial service was planned Dec. 10 at William Carey University in Pasadena.

Two people per student discount Expires December 19,1993 O p in io n Thursday, December 2,1993 Mixed-race dating creates no woes for ASU student 1 would like to comment on your article on interracial love/dating. I am a Puerto-Rican/Spanish mix female who is sometimes mistaken for black because of my dark complexion. I have always dated white guys and I do not see this as a bad thing. Although I have experienced some negativity from observers, 99 percent of the reactions to my interracial dating has been posi­ tive. People are people, and I believe it is traditional, pedagogic ignorance that prevents people from following their hearts — even when it involves dating outside of their own racial group. I have never dated a black or Hispanic guy simply because I have never been attracted to one. It has nothing to do with prejudice. I have been in Tempe and at ASU for one year now, and have, found many of the white guys and guys of other racial groups to be very attracted to me. 1 have dated many and with each relation­ ship we experienced .no social pressures to break up or to hide. How people react to you depends largely on your own attitudes and how you present yourself. If you are projecting an insecurity about dating outside of your race, others will perceive this and will act on it. Personally, I live for myself arid if someone has a problem with my dating a white guy, tough. Each of u$ has the ability to remove ourselves from uncomfort­ able situations and the ability to choose how we live and who will affect how we live. If you choose to allow others to dictate your behavior and how you live your life (y o u r h appiness) is your choice. STATE PRESS Unfounded claims abound in Bhattacharyas letter State P ress etters to the editor MAT 1 17 s woes not all due to m ath departm ent I am writing in response to the article “A look at ASU’S Numeracy Problem.” I would like to offer a perspective different than the ones you printed in your article. For the record, I was a teaching assistant during the years 1989-1993. Presently, I am a m athem atics instructor at O akland Com m unity College in Michigan. Admittedly, there are some TAs who should not be in charge of a class. However, most of the TAs in the math department do care and do their very best to help their students. I think a sub­ stantial part of the problem lies with the individual student. When I last taught MAT 117 in Spring 1993, attendance averaged a mere 60-80 students (the enrollment was 160). I routinely had calls from students who wanted to know “Is there a quiz tonight?” If only half my class showed up, it should not be a great surprise that only half would get a passing grade on the test 1 cannot ascertain the problem with this semester’s MAT 117, and I'm not trying to absolve the math department of all culpabili­ ty. It would be ideal if each course were taught by a knowledge­ able and conscientious professor. In reality, the student will always encounter circumstances which are less than ideal, there­ fore it is incumbent upon the student to develop the self-reliance it takes to succeed. I am writing in response to Anirban Bhattacharya’s imagina­ tive conclusions on the causes of horiiosexuality in the Nov. 22 edition of the State Press. Anirban, let me set you straight. Now follow closely and I’ll walk you through this. I am in complete agreement with the fact that homosexuality is rooted in genetics, but any reference to the possibility that homosexuality is a learned behavior is completely unfounded. Sound it out Anirban: un-found-ed. From birth every individu­ al, especially in western society, is bombarded with social confor­ mity. Take a look at the media. Everything we do and see has some reference to heterosexual behavior. I’ve yet to see a beer commercial with a gay theme (excluding that Bud Light commer­ cial with the men in drag.) As the situation stands, and always will, you cannot learn to be “gay.” You either are or you aren’t. Perhaps you’re confusing bisexuality with homosexualities. Bisexuals are not gay. As for converting homosexuals (follow closely, we’re almost there), get real! What you’re askirig is impossible and inconsider­ ate. What makes you think that anyone could be happy being forced into Conforming? Yes, gays can simulate heterosexual behavior, but they will always be gay. Can you say, pre-tencH It is not caused by the culture of a society. It is repressed by the cul­ ture of a society. In Brazil, perhaps, it’s simply not repressed. In conclusion, homosexuality is genetic, it is not a learned behavior and is either repressed or accepted by a society. Roderik Perez Junior, industrial design Jeffery S.

P ag e 13 Thursday, December 2,1993 S tate P ress U.S. students trail industrial world in mathematics WASHINGTON (AP) — American eighthgraders are being outperformed in math by 13year-olds in other industrialized nations. But in one bright note, students in Iowa, North Dakota and Minnesota are up there among the best in the w orld, the E ducation D epartm ent said Wednesday. The department for the first time looked at how education in the states stacked up against education in some industrialized nations that are members o f the O rganization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Its findings, when it comes to mathematics, are not optimistic. Among the countries surveyed, 13-year-olds in Taiwan, South Korea, Switzerland, the former Soviet Union, Hungary, France, Israel, Canada, Slovenia, Ireland and Scotland demonstrated higher math proficiency on average than eighths graders in the U.S. public schools. Taiwanese students were at the top, scoring an average 285 out of a possible 500. U.S. stu­ dents scored 262. Only 13-year-olds from Jordan scored lower, at 246. There was a broad range of ability among the states. Students in North Dakota and Iowa scored highest, with an average proficiency rat­ ing of 283, Those in Washington, D.C., and Mississippi did most poorly, with scores of 234 and 246 respectively. Youths with a math proficiency score of 250 can do num erical operations and beginning problem-solving. At level 300, they can do mod­ erately complex procedures and reasoning. Proficiency was determ ined by the 1992 National Assessment of Educational Progress exam in the United States and the International Assessment of Educational Progress test given in 1991, , Gaylynn L. Becker, assistant director of counseling and testing for the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, said several factors contributed to the performance of stu­ dents from his state. He said there are fewer adverse social condi­ tions in North Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota, which also scored well, than in other states. “Children are probably mote ready to learn than in some other parts of the country,” he said. “They don’t have to worry about getting Shot when they get to school or coming home from school at night.” CLOTHIN G CONCEPTS Men’s "Best of the Mali" presents MEN'S/LADIES' Best of the Mail BRANDED JEAN S A W A R EH O U SE SA LE 1 DAY ONLY RUGBY SHIRTS from from You'll recognize their name! You'll recognize their name aria styles! Cotton-Silk Becker said there also are more two-parent families in North Dakota than in other states. “Not that that automatically makes a better fam­ ily, but those kids tend to score higher,” he said. A high percentage o f children in N orth Dakota come from homes where at least one parent graduated from college, Becker said. And he said teachers were required to have the equiv­ alent of a major or minor in the subject they are teaching, which makes them well-quaUfied. Education Undersecretary Marshall Smith said the report offers some challenges for educa­ tion in America. “It means we have to address the overall quality, raising the general level up, and the degree of inequality,” he said. “We have to get a point where we have challenging stan­ dards for all kids.” Gordon M. Ambach, executive director of the Council o f C hief State School Officers-, called the Education Department report “a, real eye opener.” “The results of the high performers indicate that if inequities in conditions, resources and services that exist in our country can be over­ come, our nation as a whole can achieve at the highest levels among nations in the world,” he TOPI from HEAVY WEIGHT FLEECE f said. With the exception of math proficiency, the report primarily used statistics from 1988 to draw its comparisons between the states and the OECD countries. Smith said he believed the findings generally are still true today. Among the other findings: • Alabama and Tennessee had the lowest proportions of students completing high school, at 71 percent and 72 percent respectively. But the percentages were higher than 16 o f the OECD countries. • Half of the OECD countries spent less than $2,500 per student at the pre-primary to sec­ ondary level. In the United States, only three states — Louisiana, Mississippi and Utah — spent below that level. • Canada, Austria and the United States had the highest proportion of students enrolled in universities. Among the states, Alaska had the lowest percentage, but even that was higher than half of the OECD nations. Senator supports parental warnings on violent video games WASHINGTON (AP) — A screaming sorority sister beset by bloodsucking attackers; a fight ending with the removal of the head and spine of the loser. These video game images must be kept from children through parental warnings, a lawmaker said Wednesday. Sen. Jo sep h L ieberm an, D -C onn,, flanked by Captain Kangaroo and other children’s advocates, said that while these and similar video games are protected as free speech, they are too violent to be played by children. “Few parents would buy these games for their kids if they really knew what was in them,” Lieberman said at a Capitol Hill news conference. Sega of America Inc., one of the nation’s largest video game distributors, said it is already keeping violent games away from children and younger teen-agers. Sega Vice President Bill White said, “The adult market today wants something more than just playing Pac Man.” Apparently, they’re getting it. Lieberman showed reporters segments of two video games, “Mortal Kombat” and “Night Trap.” Mortal Kombat features two martial-arts warriors pounding away at each other amid much spattering of blood. The game instructs a player to “finish” a downed opponent. The choices for murder include ripping the heart out of the victim or removing, in • one blow, the victim’s head and spinal column. In Night Trap, the goal is to prevent a gang of black-hooded killers from capturing scantily clad sorority sisters and using a neck drill device to drain their blood. The software for the game includes images from scenes filmed with real actors. In the scene played at the news conference, the attackers get their screaming victim and attach the blood-draining device to her neck with a high-pitched drilling noise. “We’re not talking ‘Pac Man’ or ‘Space Invaders’ anymore,” Lieberman said. “W e’re talking about video games that glorify violence and teach children to enjoy inflicting the most gruesome forms of cruelty imaginable.” Lieberman said he would prefer that Congress ban such vio­ lent games but he said they are constitutionally protected. Captain Kangaroo, also known as Bob Keeshan, said his ini­ tial reaction on seeing the videos was “disbelief — I just could not believe anybody could go that far.” Keeshan said greed was the sole motive behind the games. Lieberman quoted one industry estimate that Mortal Kombat would generate $100 million in business this Christmas season. He said more than 3 million copies of the game have already been sold. Sega said that games intended for mature audiences account for only 2 percent of sales. The games cost between $40 and $80 but can be rented at video stores for a few dollars. They are also available in video arcades. Sega, p f Redw ood C ity C alif., distributes both games. Nintendo, with its U.S. headquarters in Redmond, Wash., dis­ tributes a somewhat less violent version of Mortal Kombat. Lieberman’s bill, co-sponsored by Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., would give the video game industry one year to produce “a credi­ ble, uniform system to warn parents.” If the industry failed to produce its own system o f ratings or warning labels, the bill would create an independent council to impose a warning system. Sega says it already rates its games. A spokesperson for Nintendo did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Next week a Senate subcommittee chaired by Lieberman will hold hearings on the issue.

PEO PLE* NEW YORK (AP) — The Anti-Defamation League wasn’t amused by Whoopi Goldberg’s recipe for “Jewish American Princess Fried Chicken.” The recipe instructs: “Send a chauffeur to your favorite butcher shop for the chicken,” “Watch your nails” and “Have cook prepare rest o f meal while you touch up your makeup.” It was included in “Cooking in Litchfield Hills,” sold to benefit the environm entalist Pratt Center. G oldberg has a house in Litchfield County in northwestern Connecticut. . “I don’t think it’s funny,” said Abraham Foxman, national director o f the Anti-Defamation League. “It’s totally insensi­ tive because it raises all the ugly anti-Semitic stereotypes.” Goldberg publicist Brad Cafarelli said the actress’ critics are. perhaps, “not aware that Whoopi is Jewish, so she is cer­ tainly not anti-Semitic.” Goldberg, who is black, defended her then-boyfriend Ted Danson when he was accused of being racist and tasteless for performing a skit in blackface in October.

V LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actress Peggy Rea was among the mourners o f Nickodell Restaurant, once popular among Hollywood’s finest right next door to Paramount Pictures. The place used to buzz with stars. Desi Amaz dined with Lucille Ball. Elizabeth Taylor shared a booth with Richard Burton. But those days were long over when Nickodell served its last hot beef sandwich on Tuesday. The neighborhood started going downhill. Heavy food went out of style. For customers, some actors and crew members still among them, the closing o f Nickodell meant the demise o f another Los Angeles landmark, joining Schw ab's drugstore and the Brown Derby. “There’s no other place like Nicks. I’m going to miss it ter­ ribly,” said Rea, who appeared in “G unsm oke” and “The Waltons.” “There are so few restaurants in town where you can get anything you want cooked the way you want it. From here you go into the world of alfalfa sprouts,” she said. .......... ....

Unhappiness over playing time caused QB to request release By Sh au n Rachau S t a t e P ress For the third time in two seasons at ASU, a Sun Devil quar­ terback has asked to be released for the purposes of transferring to another university. Sophomore Grady Benton, who lost his starting quarterback job to freshman Jake Plummer after developing a sore right shoulder, was released from his scholarship Wednesday by Sun Devil Coach Bruce Snyder. “I kind of had mixed feelings about (being replaced at quar­ terback) and that is the reason for the release — that I wanted to get to see if possibly 1 could go somewhere else and play,” Benton said in a press conference Wednesday afternoon. “It's been difficult ever since the injury happened. Then, of course, Jake moving into the spot, I’ve had mixed feelings about (leav­ ing), because I do want to stay at Arizona State. I’m just not where 1 stand for sure on this team.” Benton said he initially agreed with the coaching staffs deci­ sion to replace him with Plummer for the Oregon game, because he was injured at the time. But Benton claims he should been put back in as quarterback when he regained his health at Season’s end. ' < Plummer was 4-2 as a starter and one of the key players in the Sun Devils’ midseason turnaround en route to their 6-5 record. “I wish Grady the best of luck with whatever decision he makes,” Snyder said. “I’m granting his release so that there should not be any problems with what he wants to do.” Benton said Northern Arizona University and Idaho — both Division I-AA universities — are the two programs he is consid­ ering most. If he goes to a Division I school, Benton would have T urn to B enton, page 16.

Boston College Sport» Information Boston College power forward Bill Curley w ill be a sizeable problem when ASU plays the Golden Eag les Sunday In the Dial Invitational — a Fiesta Bowl event. The 6-foot-9 Curley Is averaging 24 points and 10 rebound* per game th is sea­ son. Just when the ASU basketball team thought that things couldn’t get any worse, they did: At least these bad things didn’t come by surprise, like the injuries to guards Quincy Brewer and Marcell Gapers: Fate and the schedule has decreed that the Sun Devils must play two of their toughest non-conference opponents without the personnel to run the three-guard Offense and press defense that Worked to the tune of 18 wins and an NIT appearance last season, ASU faces No.8 Oklahoma State tonight at 5:35 p.m. in Tulsa, Okla. at Oral Roberts University’s Mabee Center. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and KXEG-AM (1010). On Sunday, the Sun Devils and Boston College open the Dial Invitational — A Fiesta Bowl Event doubleheader at Phoenix’s America West Arena with a 1 p.m. tip-off. ESPN2 and KXEG-AM will carry that game. What makes the games even more challenging for ASU (1-0) is that each team has a highly regarded big man, a sore spot for the Sun Devils who never had much size even when the team was injury-free. The Cowboys (3-0) have 7-foot center Bryant Reeves, while the Golden Eagles (2-0) bring 6-foot-9 power forward Bill Curley to the Purple Palace. Reeves, nicknamed “Big Country,” is averaging 26.7 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, helping him live up to his preseason All-America billing. Last season, he was the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to lead the Big 8 in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage. “H e’s a very good offensive player,” OSU Coach Eddie Sutton said. “He’s got the size and wonderful paws soft hands — and good shooting touch. As he gets better at the defensive end, he’ll be an outstanding player.” Sutton suggested that the best way to stop Reeves is to press on defense and move him away from the basket, but ASU Coach Bill Frieder is worried that his eight-man squad will be taxed to the limit to press for 40 minutes. “I don’t want our kids to get the feeling that since we’re not pressing as much that we want them to become lackadaisical or not play as intense,” Frieder said. “That’s my biggest concern. I don’t want to lose anything.” V Curley, who earned a spot on the All-Big East first-team last season, is averaging 24 points and 10 rebounds two games into BC’s season. He is shooting the lights out, sinking 17 of his 24. shots from the field, a .708 clip. However, for all the talk o f what Reeves and Curley might do to the undermanned, undersize Sun Devils, perhaps ASU guard Stevin Smith has the right attitude to deal with the adversity. “I’m not worrying about what they’re going to do to us; I want to make them worry about what we’re going to do to them.” V) T- P age 16 State P ress Thursday, December 2, 1993 OSU is early test Benton for ASU wrestlers C ontinued No. 5 Ducks, No. 6 Sun Devils meet at UAC in clash o f Pac-lO s finest By P aul M a tth ew s S t a t e P r ess Oregon State’s wrestling team arrived in Tempe Wednesday to prepare for Thursday’s 6 p.m. match against No.6 ASU at the University Activity Center. The two teams are the highest-ranked squads in the Pac-10 and have combined to win the last 1.1 con­ ference championships. Thé Beavers are ranked No. 5 by Amateur W restling Neyvs and have jumped to a 2-0 record in dual meets (meets between two schools) this season, earning victories over Stanford 32-13. and Simon Fraser (Wash.) 41-9. “W e’re looking forward to the match. W e’re two to p -10 ranked teams and its going to be a real good opportunity for us to meet good competition,” OSU Coach Joe Wells said. Oregon State has earned its ranking by fielding an experi­ enced lineup that boasts to p -10 wrestlers from six different w eight classes, including returning A ll-A m ericans David Nieradka ( 126) and Babak Mohammadi (134). Wrestling against Nieradka will be ASU junior Paul Gagich who will be wrestling in his first match of the season. Gagich, who is unranked, said he likes being an underdog and is anxious to test himself against the All-American. It’s a good challenge for me,” Gagich said. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Thursday’s match will be the first conference match and first dual meet of the year for the Sun Devils. Four ASU wrestlers are ranked in the top 10 of their respective weight classes, including returning All-American Pat Lynch (177) and defending 158pound National Champion Markus Mollica who will be wrestling at 167 pounds this year. Lynch, who is ranked No. 3, will be paired against Oregon State’s Les Gutches who is ranked No. 4. Lynch finished second last week in the Ohio Open and said that wrestling in the tail end of the meet might make his match especially important. “I’m just going to go in there and wrestle hard. It will proba­ bly come down to the last three matches, so it’ll be an important match for everybody,” Lynch said. from page IS . to sit out for one year, according to NCAA guidelines. “NAU, my father was talking to for a while and Idaho was just brought up,” Benton said. “Right now, I would rather go to Mesa Community College and play than sit out a year at Arizona State. I’ve never been used to sitting out and watching people. “I ’d rather go anywhere and play than sit out. I will not go to a Division I school and sit out. It will be Division I-AA or nothing." Benton said he will make his decision about transferring to another school as soon as he talks to the necessary people ' involved. “I’m going to have this done as soon as I can get a coach that wants me bad enough. It could happen tomorrow, it could happen in a month,” he said. “Right now, I’rnJipping that NAU comes through for me. But if not, then I will have to decide where else I would want to go.” However, Benton also did not rule out the possibility of returning to ASU if there is no interest from other football pro­ grams. “There is a .chance I may come back if Coach Snyder will allow me,” Bertton said. “I’m just going to see what’s out there for myself. Coach Snyder said he has the possibility not to accept me back if that is what he wants to do. And we agreed upon that and I think that is very fair.” Bret Powers transferred to Ohio State prior to the start of the 1992 season when he lost his quarterback position to redshirt freshman Garrick McGee. McGee then transferred to a junior college in Oklahoma after the 1992 season when he lost his starting job to Benton at midseason. Benton set an NCAA record for freshmen and led the Pac10 in passing efficiency after completing 66.2 percent of his passes in 1992. He started in eight games, in which ASU was 6- 2 . But Benton struggled as a sophomore. The Sun Devils were 2-3 in his five starts, while Benton was 63-of-132 passing (47.7 percent) for 760 yards. He had six touchdowns and nine inter­ ceptions.
