Republican Barbara Barrett, Democrat Eddie Basha, Libertarian John Buttrick and representatives for Republican Gov. Fife Symington and Democrat Terry Goddard faced about 70 people in Room 328 of ASU’s Business Administration Complex-. Paul Johnson communicated via satellite from Tucson. Students also gathered at NAU, NAU Yuma and UofA Sierra Vista to communicate over the airwaves with candidates. Because the candidates spoke to a universi­ ty audience, most of them stressed the impor­ tance of education. “We need a governor who cares enough about education to be here when asked,” Barrett said, referring to Goddard and Symington’s absences. “Educating a skilled work force is the best way to help our econo­ my along. Education is the most important part of our future.” Barrett also discussed the need to attract and keep quality faculty, students and research grants. If elected, she also proposed creating a predictable system of tuition increases so stu­ dents will know in advance what their college education will cost. Basha also stressed the importance of hav­ ing a governor who understands the impor­ tance of having accessible and affordable qual­ ity education. “You are the future leaders of this state,” he said. “We need to make sure education is affordable so you can get that training. We also need to keep competitive salaries for fac­ ulty and classified staff.” Buttrick said Libertarians offered the only true alternative that takes human rights into account. “You as an education consumer ought to be calling the shots, T urn to G overnor, pa ge 2. District 27 candidates vow improvements to education Attendance numbers dismal at M U forum B y L isa G onderinger State P ress Associated Press Republican gubernatorial candidate Barbara Barrett gives her opening remarks at Wednesday night's gubernatorial forum. The forum was televised live at NAU and NAU’s Yuma campus. Talk of increased funding and making higher education a top priority fell on few ears W ednesday as A rizona House of Representatives candidates for District 27 met in the Memorial Union’s Pima Room. Funding for ASU over the next two years depends highly on the lobbying abili­ ty of the representative chosen for this dis­ trict, which encompasses ASU. But only 18 members of the University community filtered in and out of the forum to listen to Republicans Gary D ’Water, Mike G ardner, Laura K naperek, John MacDonald and Democrat Marian Axford Shea discussed what they would do for higher education if they were elected. “It is interesting that there is a bigger crowd for athletics, who are having a meet­ ing down the hall,” said Bill Arnold, refer­ ring to the poor turnout. Arnold was last year’s Academic Senate president and mediator of Wednesday’s forum. The forum took place from 9 to 10:30 a.m Wednesday. The event was sponsored by a faculty political awareness group called USPAN. Despite the small audience, the candi­ dates talked about themselves and what they could do for ASU and Tempe if elect­ ed. D ’W ater, an aviation m anager for America West Airlines, said he wants to see higher education improved in Arizona because he has two sons. But when asked specifically, D’Water said that education was not the most important issue to him. “Education is down around number three on my list of priorities,” he said. “My main focus is on jobs and the economy. I want to make sure that when you all gradu­ ate from here you have a job to go to.” Mike Gardner, a native Arizonan, gradT urn to Fo r u m , pa g e 2. FLASH to take Phantom-goers to Gammage Play expected to have bigger financial impact on Tempe than 1996 Super Bowl By M ika Susana Akikuni Statt P ress While the famous Broadway musical Phantom o f the Opera makes its first appearance at ASU, the Free Local Area Shuttle, or FLASH, will be busy giving rides to ticket holders from downtown Tempe to Gammage Auditorium. FLASH, the new city bus that serves ASU and Tempe, will be used for the event that stats today and runs to Nov. 5. According to Carlos deLeon, a transportation coordinator with the City of Tempe, the buses are being used to promote the downtown Tempe businesses and to help people who do not find a parking space near the auditorium to get to Gammage. INSIDE S T A T E PRESS Weather Outlook Mostly sunny. High 106, low 83. The idea of using FLASH for the event came from Downtown Tempe Community, Inc., a private, non-profit management organization for downtown Tempe, deLeon said. The DTC, which serves 250 businesses, will pay more than $10,000 in bus operation costs while the event lasts, said Susan Mulligan, program associate for the DTC. “Tempe has always been a progressive community,” Mulligan said. "We are trying to be proactive promoting Broadway theater in the area.” Nearly 200,000 people are expected to come todhe 70 Phantom c f the Opera performances at the auditorium, mak­ ing an economic impact on downtown Tempe larger than what the 1996 Super Bowl is anticipated to make, Mulligan said. Two buses will transport about 3,000 people every 10 min­ utes from First Street to the auditorium, deLeon said, adding that service will not be limited to ticket holders. Hours of oper­ ation are from 6 p.m. to midnight Tuesdays to Fridays and horn noon to midnight Saturdays and Sundays. i a t e i * K | 2SS V c ; A .Z X T ■R ockst bike kuttur >Happy hour hunting grounds ' Invading Planet Earth Dead Hot Workshopping The two FLASH buses are not part of the five vehicles used by ASU students in their regular route around the University, so students getting out of night classes will not be left stranded by the event. Using FLASH during the event will be beneficial to ASU because “we will be able to provide better customer service,” said Charles Bethea, associate executive director of Public Events, - i : ; , ' Since this is the first time the Phantom o f the Opera will be in Arizona, “we want people to have a good experience here,” Bethea added. FLASH will allow people to relax and eat dinner in down­ town Tempe before the performances, said Jim Bochenek, Public Events Coordinator. “People will not have to hurry and have dinner so that they can get a parking spot in Gammage,” Bochenek said. ‘The Phantom c f the Opera is going to be bringing an influx of money and people to the area. We are working to find the best possible way to make traffic easier.” Sports C h ris T. Jones leads the vaunted M iam i H urricane passing gam e into the 1994 season.

He said the only way to avoid the political appointing of “cronies” to the Arizona Board of Regents is to disconnect education from the state. Johnson stressed his views on cracking down on crime, but said his most important educational goals are to keep academic quality high and tuition low. “We need to work on the base feeding into the university system,” he said. “We need a governor who understands the impacts of the universities on economic development.” David Bodney, a member of Goddard’s steering committee, stood in for the candidate, who had a prior engagement. He said Goddard would work to reverse the chain of broken promises that universities have been given by the state. “We don’t have the money to retain the people who are the best in their fields,” he said. “Students need to be able to count on a quality university professor who has been drawn here.” Rep. Bob Edens, R-Tempe, stood in for Symington, who was called out of town. He stressed the -accomplishments of Symington’s last four years. “This Legislature did something for equity pay,” he said. “We fought for an $18.6 million increase for faculty pay.” Forum___ C o n t in u e d fro m pa g e 1. uated with a degree in marketing from ASU. He said he would focus on improving K-12 education, but when questioned about higher education, Gardner said having an ASU alumnus on the Arizona Board of Regents would be one of his main goals. He also said he wants to make sure that ASU East becomes a reality and to ensure the role junior colleges play in higher edu­ cation is not overlooked. Gardner stressed the need for local con­ trol at the universities. “We hire com petent officials to run these schools, and we need to let them run them the best they know how,” he said. Laura K naperek has been actively involved as a board member in the Kyrene School District, where her daughters attend school. “We need to look at the whole educa­ tional system, not just higher education,” she said. “It fits in with economic develop­ ment. But we need to research the issues. I don’t want to just blindly throw money at problems.” M acDonald graduated from ASU in 1984 with a business degree and has been working in the attorney general’s office for the past three years. “Higher education is very rarely the number one issue at the Legislature, and that is why we need to have a representa­ tive from this district who is willing to lobby to make it number one,” he said. “Nothing is more important to this district than ASU.” M acDonald said he would work for increased funding for classified staff and would also like to see an ASU alumnus serve as a regent. M arian A xford Shea, the only Democratic candidate in this district, has served the Tempe com m unity through Meals on Wheels and the United Fund. If elected, she said she would work with the ABOR to gain sm aller classes and lower tuition for higher education. She also said she knew of the obstacles she would be facing. “Whatever we do, we are bumping our heads against a brick wall until we get a governor who is interested in education.” STU D EN TS KNOW YOUR RIGHTS According to the guidelines of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, University policy permits the release of directory information about any student who has not indicated that the information should not be released.

À ____ W orld/Nation______ STATE P ress Thursday, September 8, 1994 ____________________________________________P a § e 3 Carbajal m um to press about Tem pe gunfire TEMPE (AP) — Boxer Michael Carbajal retained a criminal attor­ ney Wednesday who advised him not to make any statements to police who are in v estig atin g w hether Carbajal fired gunshots after being kicked out of a party. “We’ve made a decision that he won’t be making a statement,” said lawyer Chest Jejna. “It’s a standard policy that I have in most o f my cases.” Carbajal was tentatively sched­ uled to meet with police Thursday to talk about reports that he fired a weapon into the air Saturday after being refused adm ittance into an afte r-h o u rs p arty , said police spokesman Les Strickland. The investigation is being han­ dled by Tem pe’s gang squad, but Sgt. P.J. Ganik, head of the squad, said C arbajal is n ’t considered a gang member. W itnesses said they heard the 1988 Olympic silver medalist claim gang affiliation as he fired shots. Carbajal has told police he left die party after being asked and heard shots as he left. C arb a ja l, who left Top R ank Boxing after six years and signed with promoter Don King on July 18, was booked Sunday on suspicion of felony disorderly conduct, punish­ able by ! 1/2 years in prison and a $150,000 fine. I The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office will decide whether to pursue charges once Tempe police com ­ plete their investigation and for­ w ards a report, said C ounty A ttorn ey spokesm an B ill FitzGerald. C arbajal’s civil attorney, Ben M iranda, said Carbajal is upbeat, lo o k in g to p u t the alleg atio n s behind him. “He’s somewhat bewildered by the reaction of the press,” Miranda said. Miranda said his office is consid­ ering filing a libel suit against The Phoenix G azette, which began a th re e -p a rt serie s T uesday on Carbajal’s involvement with gang members. Miranda said he hadn’t read the article, but m em bers of his staff were reviewing it for possible action once the criminal case is resolved. Tcwn t o C arbajal , pa g e 7. Associated Press A man in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, paints a sign which says "Never 1915 MODETHA (Democratic Youth Movement of Haiti).” Haiti was invaded by U.S. M arines in 1915, and occupied for nearly 20 years. Marines train for Haiti invasion SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — U.S. Marines assigned to a potential Haiti invasion force began training Wednesday as Secretary of State Warren Christoper warned Haiti’s army rulers that “their days are definitely num­ bered.” In all, 1,800 Marines are practicing on a Puerto Rican island to evacuate the estimated 3,500 American civilians in Haiti, said Lt. Elizabeth Jones, spokeswoman for the Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Puerto Rico. Speaking in Washington, Christopher warned that Haiti’s military leaders must step down voluntarily or be forced out by a U.S.led invasion. “One way or the other, the de facto govern­ ment is going to be leaving,” Christopher said. “Their days are definitely numbered.” In Haiti, a key supporter of the military warned the United States that Haitians will join together to fight U.S. troops. “President Clinton must realize that an intervention will not be an invasion of army headquarters but of the entire country,” Haitian Sen. Thomas Eddy Dupiton told The Associated Press in Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital. The Marines have been deployed on two U.S. combat ships in waters off Haiti since mid-August. Jones declined to say how long the training exercises on the small island of Vieques will last or what will be involved. In similar five-day exercises on Vieques in late July, nearly 1,000 Marines and Navy SEALs splashed ashore in amphibious landing craft and practiced firing with grenade launch­ ers, rifles and machine guns. The training was supposed to intimidate Haiti’s military rulers and break the monotony of weeks at sea for the Marines. The Marines and sailors were replaced in mid-August by the current detachment, assigned to the USS Wasp and the USS Nashville, Jones said. The two ships are carry­ ing 1,800 Marines and 1,425 sailors, she said. The Wasp is the world’s largest amphibious assault ship. The Clinton administration in recent days has been more overt in alluding to an invasion to dislodge Haiti’s military leaders, who oust­ ed elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in a coup three years ago. Many Republicans in Congress oppose military intervention, and many of the Americans in Haiti insist they do not want to be evacuated. “I think it’s the same old story — they’re creating a situation whereby they’re going to rescue Americans,” said Don Weaver, 62, a Protestant minister whose wife left Haiti in May at the U.S. government’s suggestion. “My contention is, the house isn’t on fire, don’t throw the match,” Weaver said. “I don’t feel like I’m in danger. I don’t feel threat­ ened.” Vieques residents are protesting the training exercises, saying they could damage the island’s environment and fishing industry and endanger its residents. The residents plan a protest Sunday at the gates of a military camp. Vieques residents have been protesting die U.S. military presence on their island for two decades. Some two-thirds of the island belongs to the Roosevelt Roads Naval Station and the Navy frequently uses the property for target practice. In another development, the United States postponed plans to send a group of Haitian refugees Wednesday from a U.S. Navy base in Cuba to the South American nation of Suriname. It was unclear when the transfer would begin. Surinamese officials had health concerns about the refugee center being built by American troops in the former Dutch colony, said Air Force Maj. David Talley, a spokesman for the U.S. Southern Command in Panama. “It’s a political question, as I understand,” Talley said. About 14,000 Haitians who fled their homeland have been housed in a tent camp at the naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. President Clinton has guaranteed the refugees safe havens in third countries. Vatican leads anti-abortion alliance at population conference CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — A group of countries joined the Vatican today in opposing a section on abortion in the U.N. population conference’s 20-year plan for reining in world population growth. The announcement upset a compromise reached late Tuesday that would retain a section recommending gov­ ernment policies on abortion but declare that it shouldn’t be promoted as family planning. Iran, Pakistan and Benin, previously Vatican allies, agreed to support the compromise. And the European Union, Norway and Sweden accepted the changes in the conference’s central document as their “rock bottom” posi­ tion. But when talks resumed this morning, delegates said seven countries and one U.S. territory — all with Roman Catholic majorities — announced support for the Vatican p osition: M alta, A rgentina, H onduras, G uatem ala, Slovakia, Uruguay, Ecuador and Guam, a U.S. territory that has observer status at the United Nations and a sepa­ rate delegation at the conference. The conference’s plan of action does not require the blanket approval of all participants, and the Vatican did not approve documents that came out of the two previous U.N. conferences in 1974 and 1984. But great effort is being made to reach compromise because the United Nations likes consensus when issuing long-term goals. The section under debate — one paragraph in a 113page plan — deals with unsafe abortion and motherhood. The compromise would have retained sections urging gov­ ernments to treat unsafe abortion as a major public health concern. It would acknowledge the legality of abortion in some countries and say women who have abortions should have access to treatment for medical complications, counseling and family planning to avoid repeat abortions. Namibian delegate Henning Melber said today as many as 20 countries now oppose that language. “There is absolutely no progress on the matter,” he said. “For those who came to a consensus, this is very frustrat­ ing.” Unable to reach consensus, the negotiators broke up into informal groups to discuss the next step. Mary Ellen Glynn, spokeswoman for the U.S. delegation, said 95 percent of those at the conference support the com­ promise and it was unfortunate that a few were delaying progress on more important population issues. “We don’t want this conference to be on abortion and stringing it out does just that,” she said. Melber also said Namibia and many other countries were losing patience with the upending of a compromise that had been very difficult to reach. “How long will they be able to compromise, compro­ mise, compromise?” he asked. The Vatican and Muslim nations have objected to parts of the plan on abortion or sex education. Other nations have complained that arguments over morality were taking attention from the real purpose of the conference — slow­ ing the population explosion by giving power to women. In a key concession to the Vatican, the compromise on the abortion provision restored language from the 1984 population conference that abortion should never “be pro­ moted as a method of family planning.” T urn t o P o p iii a t io n p jr t 7 Opinion ___________ Thursday, September 8, 1994 P age 4 STATE PRESS State P ress E l itorial Lazy days at A SU The typical ASU student, it seems, could give the proverbial rat’s behind. Yes, it’s yet another “campus apathy” col­ umn - today’s lament being the fact that only 18 people bothered to show up to a forum ques­ tioning candidates for District 27. And only a couple of those people were students. Yes, yet another event that will impact the campus, affect our lives and influence our edu­ cation. A chance for voices heard. An opportu­ nity to make a difference. Surprised? D on’t be — ASU students beat out the 1980s “Me” generation for the raw output of self-centered greed (granted, with the time it takes to graduate, a goodly part of the campus may be part of the “Me” generation). Keeping this in mind, just what will ASU students participate in? Lollapalooza, or other such music extrava­ ganzas? Check. ASU fo o tb all, or sundry other college sports? Check. Greek rush, or similar social fun? Check. Suns games, or various other professional games? Check. Something actually influencing their educa­ tion? You’ve got to be joking. This isn’t the first time you’ve heard such complaints on these pages. The self-centered stupidity of the egomaniacal idiots who ride their bikes through pedestrian traffic has been noted; discussed has been the fact that less than one student in 12 bothers to vote in campus elections; and you’ve read as well of the bored disdain most of the campus shows to the safety talks DPS offers. But what’s the bottom line, here? Until the majority of the student body proves that it has joined the few who attend the meet­ ings, forums and talks concerning their educa­ tion, it should surprise no one that students’ interests will be ignored. For all the constant complaints about the administration, the faculty or classified staff from students inconvenienced in some way, the fact remains few seem to care enough to actual­ ly do anything. Apathy: it’s a way of life for the 43,000 stu­ dents who attend this university. Until this mantle of laziness is shaken off, we have only ourselves to blame. World burgeoning Chicken Littles, not people This week Cairo will host the w orld m ovie prem iere of Revenge o f the D ead White European Males. Don’t rush to the box office though. If past reviews are indicative, this horror film will be a bust. A ccording to the U nited N ations C onference on Population, the world’s popula­ tion is raging out of control, potentially causing a global eco­ nomic and ecological apocalypse sometime in the next century. Believing that far too many people are having far too many babies, the UN’s proposed remedy is to set guidelines for stemming human reproduc­ tion. The UN conference is just the latest attempt to resurrect the G odfather of Gloom, B ritish econom ist Thomas Malthus. In 1798, Malthus predicted that, since agricultural production increased algebraically while population climbed geometrically, the inevitable result would be famine. Jimmy Carter subscribed to Malthus’ Iron Law in 1977 during his hemorrhage of “national malaise” speech­ es, culminating in his Global 2000 edict.' Earlier this year, Cornell University ecologist David Pimentel revisited Malthus when he released a study that made the UN’s estimates look mild. Projecting current trends, Pimentel approximated that the world’s population would reach 15 billion people in the year 2 100, resulting in “absolute misery, poverty, disease and starvation” of cata­ clysmic proportions. What is more farcical than Pimentel’s predictions are his solutions. The professor determined the world’s resources can only sustain two billion people. One problem: the world nearly has three times that many inhabitants now. If Pimentel proposes killing two-thirds of the world’s inhabi­ tants, this does not portend well for the three children of our national Malthusian poster boy, Albert Gore. I do not know who I should have more sympathy for: Professor Pimentel, or the poor students who pay tuition to hear such economic bunk. Since time immemorial, prominent individuals have diagnosed a grim future. Their error lies in the tendency to believe that all technological achievement is behind us, not ahead of us. Malthus himself failed to foresee the advent of the great­ est increase in human productivity ever seen: the Industrial Revolution. In 1901, the director of the U.S. Patent Office recommended to President McKinley that the office be abolished since “everything that can be invented has been invented.” In 1923, physicist Robert Milliken, a Nobel lau­ reate no less, said there “is no likelihood that man will ever tap the power of the atom.” During his first year in office, Herbert Hoover established a commission to study possible scientific advancements for the next quarter century. Five years later, the commission’s five hundred researchers compiled a dissertation encompassing thirteen volumes; the summary alone was sixteen hundred pages. Despite the resources available and the minds involved, nothing was mentioned regarding nuclear energy, antibiotics, transistors, or even jet propul­ sion. Recently inducted into the Prophesy Hall of Shame is Carter’s Global 2000. When the report was initiated in 1977, the world’s population was just over 4 billion, com­ pared with today’s 5.7 billion. If the paper’s forecasts were valid, that the demands on the world’s food and energy stocks would soon outstrip supply, the world would have seen a massive increase in the prices of such commodities. The facts prove otherwise. Seventeen years ago, the price of com was $2.39 per bushel; today a bushel goes for $2.22. Soybean oil cost 31 cents a pound; today it will cost you a quarter. Hogs were 45 cents a pound; today they are 38 cents. No shortage here. When prices are adjusted for inflation, the Malthusians fare no better. In constant dollars, a barrel of oil cost more than $27 in 1977; today it’s $17. Orange juice was $2.19 per pound; today the price is 90 cents. A pound of copper cost $1.54; in 1994 it costs you $1.16. The market price of live cattle was $1.06 a pound; today it’s 71 cents. No won­ der Hillary got out of the market in ‘79. Malthus, Carter, Pimentel and Gore stumble into the trap where all prognosticators fall victim: underestimating everybody’s intelligence but their own. Six months from now, the United Nations’ conference report will be avail­ able in paperback. You will find it in the humor section. Barry R. Kelley is a graduate student studying Asian history.

Some speculation on the possible causes of death have boards, which take away pressure on cops to “protect their surfaced. Was it an improperly administered choke hold, own,” or more efficient psychological testing, which would that may have crushed Mallet’s esophagus? Or was it the allow police departments the opportunity to weed out the asphyxiating pepper spray, which may have been fired after wackos.

It should no longer be treated as only a minority these “isolated incidents,” as they are most frequently issue or something that happens only to the dregs of soci­ called, occur more often than the police would lead you to ety. This would not only be unfair to the victims of police brutality but would also be an inaccurate and hindering believe. On April 20, 1994 Francisco Terrones was violently assumption. The time has come for violent cops to be held kicked several times in the head after being cuffed by Mesa accountable for their atrocious actions. The general public police officer Brian Dodge. Apparently Dodge received a can no longer afford to sit idly by as more and more cops call involving a stabbing in central Mesa. When he arrived act as judge, jury and executioner.

B; Ï Right-wing affiliations revealed in Tierneys slanted, biased columns The columnist Bill Tierney should be identified by his political affiliation. The column printed in the State Press seems unfair to me. Tierney has taken a political medium and attempted to persuade the student body at large that his is the best and final word on the state of Arizona politi­ cal campaigning strategy. Tierney’s “good candidates to vote for” guide shows Tierney’s right-wing inclinations. I know Bill and while we engage in friendly debate about politics, we never seem to agree about the remedy. Here, in this public forum, as well as privately, we disagree. Tierney’s Sept. 1 column makes the point that students are politically naive, but this week he challenges those same students to understand the complexities of a guberna­ torial election. Get real, buddy. This trick to give students a short, easy guide to lead them to the ballot box is unAmerican. All voters should, through diligence, explore the policies the candidates are positing and make an informed choice. I know time is an issue, but your forefathers fought for the right to make that private choice. Finally, I hope that the student body of ASU does in fact invest five minutes to register to vote and one hour a day for the next 15 days to understand the issues, explore the candidates and make informed decisions about the betters to the NEW members - Congrats!
