R egent Hank Amos said the tuition increases would be less than the 7.3 percent average increase Arizona students have been saddled with over the last 10 years. “This will be a big win for students,” he said. The ABOR decided last week to study a plan that would keep Arizona university tuition within the bottom 25 percent o f the nation. However, since there are only five states with lower tuition than Arizona, that system would allow an increase as long as tuition stayed in the bottom 25 percent. ASU’s in-state tuition increased 3 per­ cent last spring. “W e’re at num ber 45 (right now ),” Amos said. “All I’m saying is we’re going to be six spots higher. We’re still going to be a bargain. I t’s ju s t that we have to increase revenues, and we’re not going to get it from the state.” The board will review the tuition index­ ing information and may decide to vote on a specific plan during one of the next two meetings, Amos said. “Tuition indexing” refers to various plans to set tuition according to factors such as comparison with other states Or coordina­ tion with the Consumer Price Index or per capita income. There is no tuition indexing system now. “Students have been demanding a reli­ able, predictable num ber to know what tuition is going to be,” Amos said. Mary M cKeown, A BO R’s associate executive director for financial affairs, said, “The problem is in that average. W e’ve had a couple of years where it’s been zero and a couple of years where it’s been 16,17 or 18 percent.” Amos said the current system’s unpre­ dictability not only makes it hard for stu­ dents to plan what they will Spend each year, but is frustrating and time-consuming. The board must consider several factors, including cost of attendance, tuition at peer institutions, financial aid awarded and amounts needed to service debt incurred from bond sales. “Each year the universities spend an exorbitant amount of time and energy so they can determine what the numbers are going to be,” Amos said, adding that the meetings between the board, faculty and student leaders can be political and very inefficient. ASU Provost Milton Click agreed that making tuition increases predictable would help students, but said he doubted that the system could work as planned. “I’m not sure we can do that, given the unpredictable Legislature,” he said, “You don’t want to make commitments that you might have to violate a year or two out.” ASU students in short supply for conference Vaulting for glory B y M elody M c D o n a l d S tate P ress and R a y St e r n Three hundred students from around the state will dis­ cuss budget and tuition issues with state representatives at the Arizona Students’ Association Legislative Conference Thursday^ ' But, only 10 ASU students have signed up to attend the conference at the state’s Capitol. “It’s been frustrating,” said ASA Director Paul Allvin. “ The other campuses have been going great.” So far, 125 NAU students, 115 UofA students and 45 students from Yuma’s Arizona Western College have signed up to attend the legislative conference, which will be from 11 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Allvin said he will continue accepting applications through today for the event that includes free transportation and lunch. There is no limit to the number of students that can attend. The conference is a unique opportunity for students to mix with the 75 legislators scheduled to address students’ questions, Allvin said. “Here’s the way an average citizen can have an effect,” he said. “Anyone can come to the (ASA) Legislative Conference — the more the merrier.” Students who wish to attend the Arizona Students’ Association Legislative Conference may contact Petri Darby at ASA at 965-1717.

Education and conservation are two o f our biggest goals here, and it seemed natural to include ASU students in that.” Students are finding out that zoos have come a long way since ancient Egyptian and Roman times, said ASU West professor Gordon Schuett. “Zoos have changed a lot,” he said. “People have always been interested in animals. At the forefront now is conser­ vation, ecology and education.” There are no prerequisites for the class. “We’re deliberately offering it to all students,” said Harvey Pough, chairman of ASU West’s Life Sciences Départaient. Pough said the class w ill be o ffered every fa ll semester.''. Schuett said the course emphasizes problem-solving abilities for zoo personnel ranging from keepers and admin­ istrators to botanists and researchers. “We work with localproblems,” he said, adding that stu­ dents will work with Arizona endangered species such as the Mexican wolf and the thick-billed parrot. “It’s our experiment in progress,” he said. “It’s really an innovative class. It gives students another view of what a zoo is.” W orld/Nation Sports A summit of Balkan leaders ended fears of new violence in Bosnia over the weekend.

Many Serbs are moving from the sections of Sarajevo that w ill fall under the control of the Bosnian-Croatian Federation on March 19. ROME (AP) — Balkan leaders promised Sunday to stick by the peace plan that halted the Bosnian war, resolving a number of dis­ putes that threatened to scuttle the accord. The announcement came after 25 hours of intense negotiations at an emeigency summit. “We prevented a situation that could have jeopardized the Dayton agreement,” said Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. assistant secre­ tary of state who convened the parties to Rome and led efforts to reach the peace agree­ ment last December outside thè Ohio city. The Bosnian Serbs agreed to resume contacts with NATO, which they had sus­ pended after the arrest and extradition of two Bosnian Serb officers detained and extradited on suspicion of war crimes. “Nothing was given in exchange for this. They did this on th eir ow n,” Holbrooke said. H olbrooke said NATO w ill assess Bosnian Serb compliance with the condi­ tions of the Dayton accord by the end of the week and then consider lifting econom­ ic sanctions against them. Holbrooke said the sides repeated previ­ ous assurances on a number of flashpoints that forced the sides to resume talks, and pro­ duced agreements on several smaller issues. Bosnian Muslims and Croats agreed to settle the administration of Mostar and can­ tons in the area around the southwestern city, although Holbrooke did not immedi­ ately specify the terms of the agreement. C roats in M ostar have refu sed to accept a central district jointly adminis­ tered with Muslims. The historic city, heavily damaged by war, is divided into Croat and Muslim sectors. The issue of Mostar is considered crucial because it is a testing ground for the CroatMuslim federation, an alliance designed to balance the Bosnian Serb portion of Bosnia. As an indication of the importance of the issue, the mayors of the two parts of the town — Bosnian Croat Mijo Brajkovic and Muslim Safet Orucevic — arrived in Rome Sunday morning to join the talks. C oncerning the reu n ificatio n of Sarajevo, B osnian P resident A lija Izetbegovic repeated assurances that B osnian Serbs could take part in city administration and a unified police force. The parties also provided “assurance to Serbs in Sarajevo that...their freedoms will be protected,” Holbrooke said. “They do not need to leave Sarajevo” after it comes under the control o f the M uslim -led Bosnian government. Holbrooke hastily arranged the weekend summit —- the first major international con­ ference on Bosnia since the peace pact was signed — in the hope that the same highpressure tactics used to forge the accord in Dayton could help save it. The three Balkan leaders — Bosnian President A lija Izetbegovic, Yugoslav P resident Slobodan M ilosevic, and Croatian President Franjo Tudjman — were joined by European representatives and NATO brass. They included the alliance’s top man in Bosnia, U.S. Adm. Leighton Smith, and its overall comman­ der, U.S. Gen. George Joulwan. The last two took part in the meeting “as a clear reminder of a strong commit­ m ent o f NATO to see th is th ro u g h ,” Holbrooke said. N ew Hampshire voters glum, tired o f politics as usual NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — Joan Wilson remem bers the day 16 years ago when Ted Kennedy visited Nashua as a presi­ dential candidate. “The whole city virtually stopped on the day he was here, which was in a blizzard. It was amazing,” she says. But Wilson, a 61year-old transplanted Bostonian, answers with a hearty laugh when asked what recep­ tion Kennedy would get today. “I don’t think they’d stop at a traffic light for him,” she says, shaking her head. There have been many more changes since that snowy day in this city hard by the Massachusetts border. Looking out the glass wall of her cellu­ lar phone shop, Wilson can recall when the landscape was pasture. Now it is an endless vista of retail, painting the dusk with pastel neon proclamations of Computer Town, Home Depot and L.L. Bean. The Pheasant Lane Mall, New Hampshire’s largest shop­ ping center, glows in the dark. All of it new within the space of a few years. But the call of plenty that beckons outof-state shoppers with the lure of no sales taxes is deceptive. An abrupt cycle of boom, bust and cautious recovery have left the people who work and live here traumatized. Between the 1988 and 1992 primaries, one out o f 10 jo b s in surrounding Hillsborough County evaporated, half of them in high tech manufacturing. Some work has returned in the lower paying ser­ vice industries, but the optimism of the ’80s is long gone. Also gone is an enthusiasm for politics. “When you ask people who you are vot­ ing for, you’re getting answers like, ‘I haven’t got a clue,’ or T don’t think I’ll even vote,”’ Wilson says. “I think people were much more involved, but the way the media is, people are turned off. This morn­ ing I saw nine political commercials in less than 45 minutes.” At a candy shop in the m all, Lynn Cunningham points out the white wallboard that serves as tombstones for at least a dozen shops that have closed since December. “ Sales are way dow n,” says Cunningham, who has worked seven of her 23 years in retail. Even though she has worked her way up the pay scale, Cunningham remains glum. Her own company has closed three stores in the region; her father was forced into an early retirement after 33 years with a local defense contractor. * “The same thing could happen to me,” she worries. These concerns have left Cunningham, her friends and her fam ily, with little patience for the political rhetoric that has saturated their lives for months. “B asically , we d o n ’t know who to believe,” she says. “Now they’re talking about the family and the home and every­ thing, but I think they’re just mainly think­ ing about themselves. They really don’t care about the family.” Of all the candidates, Cunningham says publisher Steve Forbes might be the one who gets her vote. “He’s different,” she says. “He’s some­ one who isn’t in politics. As a businessman, he might bring fresh ideas.” Sinn Fein head plans U.S. visit; Clinton lambasts IRA LONDON (AP) •— Gerry Adams, president of the IRA’s political ally, Sinn Fein, said Sunday he will visit the United States next month despite the end of the guerrilla movement’s cease-fire. “I have been invited to go to the United States. My inten­ tions are to go,” Adams said on BBC television, saying he expected to visit around March 17, St. Patrick’s Day. The White House responded Sunday, saying Adams was premature in predicting he will be permitted to return. An administration official who spoke on condition of anonymi­ ty said Adams’ visa, which is renewed every three months, has expired. Adams’ reapplication is still being processed. Since the Irish Republican Army ended its 17-month cease-fire with a deadly bombing in London on Feb. 9, Protestant leaders in Northern Ireland have called on U.S. authorities to ban him. Adams has not been banned, but President Clinton has roundly condemned the IRA’s return to violence. “That was perhaps a legitimate response from him,” Adams commented to the BBC. Despite the bombing, most Britons believe the British government should continuing talking to A dam s, a National Opinion Poll in London’s Sunday Times newspaper showed. The poll o f 1,569 voters in England, Wales and Scotland, also found that while 89 percent blamed the IRA for scuttling the cease-fire, nearly A dam s half also thought the Britain shared some blame. The poll’s margin of error was 3 percent. The peace process deadlocked over demands by Britain and Northern Ireland Protestant leaders that the Catholicbased IRA start disarming before negotiations. Britain’s intelligence service believes the peace process cannot be retrieved and the IRA is set for a new big bomb­ ing cam paign in England and N orthern Ireland, The Observer, a London weekly, reported Sunday. The paper, quoting identified intelligence sources, said the agency also doubted whether there was any point in talking to Adams because Sinn Fein can no longer speak for the IRA. In another development, Irish Prime M inister John Bruton, who has refused to meet Adams since die bombing, appealed to the IRA to stop blaming Britain. “Your way of killing people has only divided people on the island of Ireland over the last 25 years,” Bruton said on David Frost’s program on BBC television Opinion Page 4 B _____________________________________ _________ 1 M onday, February 19, 1996 QSfl '■ / STATE PRESS Sîaje Press ditonal Lifeblood of America Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled mass­ es yearning to be free S : Perhaps we should amend this to say, “As long as they don’t live next to me.” A recent Roper poll showed that Americans aren’t really listening to the Statue of Liberty. The poll showed that 80 percent of Americans wanted legal immigration scaled back tremendously. One in five thought that immigration should be stopped completely. Seventy-nine percent supported an annual quota of 600,000 or less; 70 percent favored 300,000 or less; and a majority, 54 percent, favored less than 100,000 immigrants a year. These aren’t illegal immigrants we’re talking about. These are legal immigrants. So much for the spirit of Ellis Island. Anti-immigration attitudes aren’t exactly new to this country. Throughout our history, there’s always been people wanting to come to the United States — and thé people that were already there wanted to keep them out. W e’re acting pretty much the same as the Americans that came before us did. But Americans should think carefully before they endorse such dras­ tic cutbacks — after all, their ancestors once faced prejudice when trying to come to this nation. Have any Irish blood? The Irish were considered the lowest of the low in the mid-19th century. They represented the majority of the immigrants during this period •— and many Americans wanted to keep them out altogether. If you are partially or completely IrishAmerican, these were your ancestors that Americans reviled — and wanted to keep out of the country. The Irish were hardly alone in facing that preju­ dice. Such prejudices were also confronted by Italian, German, Russian, Jewish, Scottish, Vietnamese, Chinese. African and Hispanic immigrants. Chances are that most readers will find at least part „ of their ethnic heritage in that group. Think carefully about that — without immigration, you would not exist. Of course, we do not condone illegal immigration. But reducing legal immigration will only cause illegal immigration to skyrocket. It will force the law-abid­ ing to defy the laws of this country. But there is a more important issue at stake. Quite simply, if we turn our back on immigrants, we turn our backs on our own heritage, our own lifeblood. There is no speh ethnic group as “American.” Americans are a diverse, mixed group comprised of every single ethnic group the planet has ever seen. This is who we are. Far from taking shame in it, we take pride in it. We have taken the best that every ethnic group has had to offer and formed it into a new people. The American dream is one of cultural and ethnic diversity. This dream is helped along by the constant addition of new people. They add to our heritage and our diversity — and help our nation become a better one. Cutting off this flow will tell the world that we have forsaken our greatest heritage. We hope that our citizenry continues to grow and diversify. Only then can we continue to call ourselves the greatest nation on Earth.

Television destroys m inds as well as eyes There are two types of people in this world: When entering a ONATHAN room, those who turn on the tele­ INGE vision and those who tum it off. And the former are growing in Columnist number. Many of us perch ourselves on the couch and sprout while doing our favorite pastime — watching television. Although we find it an attractive source of entertainment and information, most of the .time we admit that there is nothing good on. Yet most spend more than a third of a day watching television. So what? Whai harm could possibly be emitted — aside from a small amount of radiation — from a box full of wires and tubes? Everyday, like religious followers, we give worship to our cathode-ray tube god. And television, being a loving god. is not demanding. In an entertaining and quite infor­ mative manner, it tells its laws on how we must live our lives in the form of the most divine inspiration — commer­ cial advertisements. It doesn’t care if it seems to be contra­ dicting itself at times. Its only tiding is that we watch and forget that we left it on when we fall asleep. A good example of the ill effects of television is college students. We tend to be mòre passive than active in class­ room situations. Most of us do not participate in the process of learning, nor do we question our professors as often as we should. After all, television viewers are not expected to question their television sets. Stephen Winzenburg. who teaches a course titled “TV and Society” at Grandview College in Des Moines, requires his students to give tip television for a week, then write about it. Merely completing the'exercise guarantees an “A" for the assignment. He’s been doing this for 13 years and by now has tried it on some 500 students. “They’re motivated, they want the ‘A,’” he told the Arizona Republic. “About 80 percent make it all the way, 15 percent part of the way and about 5 percent just can’t do it at all.” He said that males who love sports have the highest fail­ ure rate by a lot, but that hardly anyone glides through the assignment. “The bulk of the students really struggle with it,” Winzenburg said. “Some of them describe it as similar to experiencing a death in the family. They complain of feel­ ing edgy and nervous and lonely. I’ve had two students take up smoking during the week. I feel bad about that.” In other words, the students exhibit the classic symptoms of an addict experiencing withdrawal. ’ One student later wrote, “The worst part was the silence. I felt very alone and became very paranoid.” Another said, “I know I’m letting a little box control me, but I need it.” I decided to give this experiment a try and, although I failed — there was a new episode of The X-Files that week — 1 found myself doing something 1 haven’t done in quite some time — studying, which didn't take long.' Having completed all my homework for that week, I filled the rest of the time pleasure-reading books and magazines that I had bought but never had the “free time” to read. “Television also robs relationships of tim e," said James Herrick, an associate professor of communication at Hope College in Holland, Mich. “Relationships among friends and family members take time to develop — quantity time. Marriages, for example, are nurtured on communication, and this communication takes time — lots of it. Doesn't time spent watching television together build relationships? Frankly, no. Television does not usu­ ally encourage communication, either while people are watching it or afterwards.” . And he said it best, “Let's face it, television program­ ming is frequently vacuous, noxious, or both. Does televi­ sion programming typically set a high standard for personal conduct? Does it ask me to think hard about what I ought to value, and why? Does it provide insights into the intricate issues that face any citizen of this increasingly complex and diverse society? Even at best, television seldom does any of these things. And even when it inadvertently does accom­ plish a worthwhile goal, there are any number of surer paths to these ends. Most of us need more, not less, incentive to live humanely, think broadly and engage relationships empathetically.” So-lift your head up once in a great while. Tum off the boob tube and do something new. Talk to friends. Read a book. Or watch a sunset. You might feel more alive. Jonathan Inge is a freshman studying journalism.

N O M IN E E S , a n e .... fu m a it h t S T P R E S S 9 A S U .E D U Statistic merely scare tactic? One in four? In the Thursday, Feb. 16 issue of the State Press Michelle Carson asserts; “One in four people between ages of 18 and 24 will contract AIDS.” I find that extremely hard to believe. I would like to know where Carson got this number. If it is wrong, as I suspect it is, I would like to know what the real figures are. If this “one in four” was a scare tactic, I think it is irresponsible and damages the credibility of those who are trying to seriously discuss AIDS. Josh Krist . -Senior' .... English Editor o f State Press Magazine Valuable experience gained from pageant participation I would like to comment of Cara Jackson’s article “Miss Arizona dispels columnist-fueled pageant myths.” I wholeheartedly agree with Jackson’s message. The Miss America Organization has contributed to many of my friends’ educations. Although I have never chosen to com­ pete in the Miss Arizona pageant, I have competed in other successful pageant systems. The practice I have had articulating my opinions on stage and in interviews has assisted me greatly throughout my college career. For example, in almost every college course it is necessary to give class presentations. My stage experience has made those assignments much less stressful. Also, now that I have started looking for a job after col­ lege, the interviews I have gone through in competition have given me the confidence to make a great impression. So the pageant system has done a great deal for me, but I know it is not for everyone. Just like any other hobby, we all have our preferences. .However, I think we should applaud any activity that benefits our education. By the way, Jackson, you are doing a wonderful job as Miss Arizona. I feel very honored that you represent our state. Congratulations. Jodie Jackson Communications AIFONSE. O'AfcAWO in 'The.

It’s electronic technician Dave Janecek who feels his efforts to get a dance club up and running at ASU have been Clogged. “We need a floor,” said Janecek, the adviser for Clogging at ASU. Janecek said clogging, an original dance performed with a type of tap shoes, comes with a fair amount of controver­ sy. Although he said clogging is great for your health and a fantastic way to meet people, he added that many say it is dangerous to the dancers, will damage floors or is impure or too sexual. But Janecek said he is having a hard time getting the club started at ASU for other reasons. Namely, he can’t find space for the club to practice. “The MU (Memorial Union) knows clogging doesn’t harm the floor, but we’d have to pay big bucks to use a room there.” he said. “And it’s not likely they’re going to make an excep­ tion for a club with hardly any members.” Clogging at ASU is currently a "phantom club” with only five members, Janecek said. Greg Crever, MU reservations program coordinator, said the MU would be happy to accommodate the club for free as long as the club does not charge students to attend, participate or watch. The MU asks $75 for the room if the club charges people, he added. Janecek said this is where the problem comes in because the club is planning to charge $10 per month for 1 1/2 hours of clogging practice per week. “That’s nothing,” he said. ‘To teach clogging to those who want to learn, you have "to have an instructor. That costs money.” Janecek said he also sought space at ASU’s Department of Dance, but the clogging club has had no luck there either. Department of Dance Program Coordinator Lee Senior said she does not recall Janecek’s request to use their facilities, but there would be a problem with allowing the club to practice there. “I’m sure clogging damages the floors,” Senior said. “But the basic problem is that we don’t have enough space.” Janecek said he has not given up. “Right now, we’re in a stand-by mode,” he said. “We’re waiting to get the balk rolling.” Students interested in Clogging at ASU can call Dave Janecek at 832 7127for more information.

Bail is set at $200,000. Mesa police and ASU’s Department of Public Safety arrested ASU custodian Robert Schneidt, a 57-year-old Gilbert resident, at 8:24 p.m. Thursday at the Physical Sciences B-wing. He was,booked into Durango Jail at 7:11 p.m. Friday. According to Earl Lloyd, Mesa Police public informa­ tion officer, the arrest was based on statements made by the person Schneidt is accused of molesting. Schneidt’s preliminary hearing date is Feb. 22. ASU custodial manager Chuck Simonette would not say if Schneidt has been suspended or put on administrative leave. “We are not making any comments because we don’t know all of the details (of the arrest),” Simonette said.

School o f Justice Studies D irector D avid Goldberg said the event is “loosely” associated with Women’s History Month in March. “(The lecture) is about the articulation of different concepts of the body in American jurisprudence,” he said. “That, of course, is tied up with questions of race and gender.” Williams has authored two books: The Alchemy o f Race and Rights: Diary o f a Law Professor and The Rooster’s Egg: The Persistence o f Prejudice.

Bruins s to p Sun Devils, 87-70 N o . 18 F r o m S taff R eports The 15th time did not prove to be the charm for the Sun Devil men’s basketball team on Saturday. ASU, which had dropped the last 14 games in a row to No. 18 UCLA, played as if it might win the con­ test before eventually succumbing to the oversized Bruins, 87-70, at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. The Sun Devils were down 42-29 at halftime, but came out in the second half more intense than the apparently-flat Bruins. ASU went on a 13-0 run, but in the closing m inutes, UCLA’s size advantage proved too much. UCLA finished with 15 straight points that the weary Sun Devils could not put a lid on. Jelani McCoy and J.R. Henderson were both able to score at will against the soft Sun Devil middle. McCoy had 19 and Henderson finished with 17. Senior Ron Riley scored 27 points and sopho­ more Jeremy Veal added 25 for ASU, which fell to 9-12 and 4-8 in the Pac 10. In between four-plus hours,. 15 pitchers, 33 runs and a runner called out for not touching third-base, the No. 10 ASU baseball team rallied to knock off No. 11 Texas Tech Sunday in the championship game in the Fiesta Bowl Diamond Classic in front of 4,377 boisterous fans at Packard Stadium “I’ve never had one like this that I can think of,” ASU coach Pat Murphy said! “That’s art unbelieveable comeback from 8-1.” Trailin g 16-15 in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Sun Devils tallied two runs, including the game-winning sacrifice fly by junior catcher Cody McKay off Red Raider pitcher Chad Reynolds. “ I was trying to hit a homer, just kidding,” McKay said. “I was really comfortable. I knew he wasn’t going to get me out.” ’ . The Red Raiders (9-1) appeared to be in the midst of rout after Compiling a seven-run lead after three innings, but the Sun Devils charged back for six runs in the fourth. With ASU (9-2) clinging to a 15-13 lead after eight in n in g s, Murphy called on junior Jason Verdugo to close out the ninth. Verdugo, Who also is the backup quarterback on the football team, made the first out then surrendered a dou­ ble with the tying run on second base. Then things turned bizarre.

But with hard work and smart play, ASU (6-15, 2-10) was rewarded with a 71-70 win over UCLA (10-11, 5-7) Saturday at the University Activity Center. Tenacious team defense along with a dominating all-around perfor­ mance by junior guard La Toya Johnson keyed the victory. “What 1 loved about this win was the way the team fought back after fa llin g behind early in the first half,” Coach Jacquie Hullah said. “The kids picked up their defensive intensity, and the trap made great things happen for us.” ASU came back from two 10-point deficits in the first half and clawed its way back to tie the game at 38 at the break. UCLA Coach Kathy Olivier said the ASU defense knocked her team off its game plan. “Their defense took us away from what we do best, and that is getting the ball inside,” Olivier said. “They were trapping and they wouldn’t allow T urn to W om en ’s hoops , pa ge 12 .

It was supposed to be another step on the path to achieving its post-season form. Instead, the 13th-ranked ASU wrestling team took a detour. Fresno State feeded off the Sun Devils’ m akeshift lineup in its 25-12 victory Saturday at the University Activity Center. ASU (8-8) was forced to wrestle without senior three-tim e A ll-A m erica M arkus Mollica, who was unable to compete because he had used up his allotment of 16 competi­ tion dates. Mollica, who is 27-2 this season, is ranked No. 1 in the country at 167 pounds. Enter Sun Devil sophomore Matt Suter, who is ranked No. 8 in the country at 158 pounds and moved up to 167 to beat Kyle Swan, 4-3. But Suter’s efforts were not enough. ASU suffered a costly pin at the spot he vacated, capping three consecutive Bulldog wins in the middle weights. Fresno State (12-5-1), ranked 19th in the nation, won both die 190 and heavyweight meetings to ice the matqh. , “I felt that we would be going in there on an upward trend but apparendy our wresders were not focused for this meet,” said ASU Coach Lee Roy Smith. “I’m not sure if it was a combination of factors but you can’t just go through the m otions, you’ve got to be focused for each and every competition.” Two Sun Devil wresders continued to fuel their current hot streaks. Junior All-America Danny Felix recorded a convincing 8-3 deci­ sion over Sean Kim at 118 pounds. Felix, ranked 11th, defeated both the No. 1 and No. 3-ranked men last weekend. Then 134-pound senior Steve St. John, a two-tim e AllAmerica, decisioned 12th-ranked Yero Washington. Less than a month after coming back from knee surgery, St. John has com­ piled a 10-3 record and a No. 7 national rank­ ing. ASU’s Aaron Simpson continued his impressive sophomore campaign by notching his 20th win of the season at 177 pounds. Simpson clipped Jason Street, 3-2.

It left behind a trail of destruction. The Sun Devils not only shattered their all-time record for team scoring; they also broke several individual career records in winning the fourteam event Friday at the University W r ig h t Activity Center. ASU’s winning score of 195.850 was .15 than the ¡previous all-time record set on March 3, 1995 against Denver. Nebraska came in a distant second with 193.925. while California (191.400) and Utah State (190.775) finished third and fourth, respectively. The triumph marked ASU's 14th Classic title in the last 16 and seventh in a row. “I think when we came in we were pretty sure we were going to win," said ASU sophomore Gina Holleran. who placed fifth in the all-around with a 38.750. “We had been losing, but our confidence carried us through." Holleran. who set career highs on the vault (9.825). bal­ ance beam (9.575) and the uneven parallel bars (9.675), was one of a slew of ASU standouts. ASU sophomore Meagan Wright captured the all-around title for the second straight year with a 39.475. Wright's score was a new career-high and also marked her third allaround win this year. “Meagan Wright is incredible,” Coach John Spini said. “The kid is strong. She loves competition. She’s a delight. She’s going to be in the ASU history books for a long time.” Wright established new career highs on the vault (9.9) and bars (9.75), while recording a season-best on the beam (9.825). Senior Katie Freeland also enjoyed a night of superla­ tives. Freeland, who took second in the all-around with a career-high 39.200, earned a career-high in the floor exer­ cise (9.9) and season highs in the vault (9.775), bars (9.725) and beam (9.8). Although the beam has been ASU’s weak point so far this season, Sun Devil gymnasts occupied the top five places in Friday’s event.' ASU freshman Lisa Vincijanovic, who won the vault with a career-high 9.950, took first on the beam with a career-high score of 9.850. “1 expected to hit. I think the adrenaline took over,” said Vincijanovic, who competed despite a braised left heel. Spini. whose team improved to 5-3, said he didn't con­ coct any magic formulas for ASU’s big night on the beam. “W e're working real hard on that event,” he said. “We’re not worried about having too many falls. We’re just trying to do what we need to for regionals and nationals. We didn’t change the rotation. We ju st kept working through it.” Perhaps the most intriguing highlight of the evening was the mem­ orable return of ASU sophomore Carie Courtney, who had been out of com­ mission since mid-January after being involved in her second serious car accident in as many years. C o urtney Courtney, who has fought back from a bruised heart and broken ster­ num, wasn’t scheduled to compete, but after the warm-up session, Spini made a tough call. “After warm-ups, she said, ‘John, I want to compete,” Spini said of Courtney, whom he gave the green light short­ ly after. “As a coach, you have to be careful when you’re dealing with a broken bone. 1 think it was a little too soon. But she was awesome.” Courtney answered the challenge in dramatic fashion, scoring career-highs on the vault (9.8) and bars (9.725). “I did a lot better than 1 expected,” Courtney admitted. “I just kind of eased back into it. I helped the team tonight and that made me feel good.” Courtney, who is normally an all-arounder. only had four full days of practice before Friday’s meet.

They did a great job.” Throughout the season the tandem of junior swing Molly Tuter and senior swing Emma Witkowski has carried the offensive load. They contributed in the UCLA win as well but Johnson stepped up and had her best game as a Sun Devil. She finished with a season-high 16 points and eight rebounds to go with three steals. “She did everything,” Hullah said of Johnson. “There wasn’t anything La Toya didn’t do. She had key steals, played tough defense and had some very im portant offensive rebounds.” Said Johnson: “Everyone was fighting. It wasn’t just one person. Everyone was working together. They were trying to key on Emma (Witkowski) but they couldn’t key on one person because we were creat­ ing shots for everybody.” ; W itkow ski scored a gam e-high 22 points and added a career-high eight steals, while Joanna Ziuraitis shut down Bruins star Kisa Hughes. “Joanna worked hard on boxing out, playing defense and pulling down rebounds,” Hullah said. “She did a great job of running the floor because Hughes can really get up and down the court. She’s been working real hard in the paint all sea­ son and she did again tonight.” Hughes finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds but most of her points came at the beginning of both halves. fr o m pa ge 11. surrendered an apparent run-scoring single to Matt Kastelil, or so it appeared. Texas Tech’s runner Duane Price was spotted not touching third base by reserve outfielder Damien Kolb in the ASU dugout. “We had one player on the bench (whose only job) is to watch who touches the bases,” Murphy said. “Damien Kolb saw he missed third base.” Kolb said, “It’s usually not a glorifying job. It’s just my job, I’ve got to do it. I told Coach Murphy we got him.” The umpire ruled Price out after a twominute delay. The Red Raiders were cost one run and one out and most likely, the game. After a hit-batsman in the top of the ninth, third baseman Clint Bryant rocketed a three-run home ran to give the Red Raiders a 16-15 lead. But in the bottom half, the Sun Devils started quickly, thanks to losing Red Raiders’ pitcher Zane Kemp, who hit three consecutive batters unintentionally. Sophomore Dan McKinley followed with an RBI single to tie the score. Then senior Robbie Kent, the co-MVP of the tournament with Mikel Moreno, popped up for the first out of the inning before McKay’s game win­ ner. ASU’s seventh pitcher of the night, sophomore Tim Vasquez, picked up the win. Kent said Sunday’s game will long be remembered. “I was telling the players in the seventh inning, no matter what happens in this game, this is the most incredible game we’ve ever played in,” he said.
