State Press, 1094 ^Copyright, Tempe, Arizona An Independent Morning Dally Vol. 78 No. 7 ' _____ Wednesday, January 26,1994 T rib es $5 m illio n n o lo n g er o n tab le for A S U m ed sch o o l Offer expired after ABOR’s vote, Fort McDowell president says B y S h aw n B oyd State P ress A $3-miIlion endowment offer pledged for a proposed ASU medical school expired when the Arizona Board of Regents post­ poned discussion of the school Friday, according to the president of the Indian community that made the offer. “It was just good for 24 hours,” said Clinton Pattea, president of the Fort McDowell Mohave-Apache Indian Community, on Tuesday. “Apparently they (the ABOR) didn’t see the need for a school for Native Americans.” Pattea said his community was disappointed about the regents’ 5-3 vote Friday to postpone discussing the plans for a second state medical school at ASU. “The Board of Regents just doesn’t know the situation on the reservation,” he said. “We have to go to Indian Health Services, where they don’t have the full services we need.” The community’s health clinic is only open six hours a day to serve the 850 people who live on the reservation, he said. The ASU proposal for a school includes programs to increase the number of minority medical workers in the state. ASU President Lattie Coor said he had not heard from Pattea that the offer was good only until the regents’ vote, adding that the only information he had was from a statement read at last week's meeting. “That’s really regrettable,” Coor said upon hearing about the termination of the offer. “It was a substantial beginning endorse­ ment, (and) the tribe had expressed interest in additional endorse­ ments. “I take it as very significant in financial terms,” Coor said. In P attea’s prepared statem ent, read before the ABOR Thursday, the door was left open for more casino-generated endowments upon establishment of the school. “This is the first of what we hope will be many endowments,” the statement read. ” Coor said he was very happy about the offer when it was pre­ sented to the board Thursday: \ “I was really quite touched by the Fort McDowell offer and believe it was very significant in terms of financial support and the depth of care they have,” he said. Regent Eddie Basha. who last week voted to put a hold on dis­ cussions of the ASU proposal, said an offer lasting such a short time is inappropriate for a complex medical proposal. The UofA also submitted a proposal to address Arizona's edu­ cational needs. Portions of the UofA plan were included in the motion that passed the board. ate P re ss C h a rle s Prob y, 30, ru n s tow ard p o lice a s he fle e s from h is hom e TuesdayTem pe, surrend ered to p o lice after a five-hour standoff in M esa. had a w arrant out for h is arre st in after sta n d o ff M esa m a n Suspect wanted in Tempe on assault charge warrant B y P aul M atthews State P ress A Mesa man wanted in Tempe for an assault charge held Mesa officers at bay for five hours Tuesday before leaping out a bedroom window and surrendering himself to police. Charles Proby, 30, jumped out of his neighbor’s bedroom window and was apprehended by police officers, who had set up a perimeter around his home at 1159 W. Drummer Ave. . “He had his hands up — it didn’t look like he had a gun in (either hand).” Mesa police spokesman Earle Lloyd said. “That’s the only reason he didn’t get shot.” ; Tuesday’s event marked the third time in the past week that East Valley police SWAT teams were needed to resolve standoffs with armed suspects. Former ASU student employee Olivia Reid ended a standoff with Tempe police on Jan. 19 by shooting herself, while Tempe resident Wayne Richardson died early Friday morning after being wounded fatally Thursday night by a police sniper. Proby was taken to Mesa City Jail and booked for bur­ glary. Lloyd said Proby would be transferred to Maricopa County Jail Tuesday night. . Police arrived at Proby’s home at 10:13 a.m. Tuesday when a security guard called after reportedly seeing Proby steal a VCR from a nearby apartment complex. Turn t o Surrender, page 2.

Analyst Elaine Sweet said the report was put together in order to help persuade the Legislature to approve a faculty pay raise. According to the report,’ 100 faculty departed ASU during the 1992-93 fiscal year. It states that 47 retired, 40 left because of financial reasons, eight were terminated, four left for unknown reasons and one died. ,;i Coor said he fears the University will lose its competitiveness ASASU held its first assembly of the Spring semester Tuesday night.

Now that state revenue is available for raises, the Legislature should use the money to affirm the importance of University employees, Coor said. Bill Arnold, Academic Senate president, agreed that low pay is a problem. He said he has recently noticed an increase in the num­ ber of people looking for employment elsewhere because they feel they are underpaid. “We started the fall with morale, in my estimation, being as low as I ’ve seen it in 20 years,” Arnold said.
