K elly S tate P ress Ranking colleges overall is not a fair way to examine universities’ performances, according to a group of students from Stanford University. FUNC '— Forget U.S. News Coalition — was founded in October in response to the U.S. News and World Report’a annual rankings. “Our main point is that universities’ policies; are made in the best interest of rankings,, riot students," said Nick Thompson, vice president of Associated Students of Stanford University. He also said FUNC, which has spread nationwide, is not against ranking specific schools and programs within a university. However, I don’t think that anyone is able to do an overall ranking,” Thompson said. James Fallows, editor of U.S .News and World Report, said he recognizes the com­ plaint as one that “may have some justice to it.” Fallows sriid some of the universities, mostly from the second and third rankings, are under tremendous pressuré to change their status. -“Sometimes it may mean things that are similar with improving education, some­ times may not,” Fallows said. ASU Provost Milton Glick said even though he doesn't think the rankings can distort any university’s activities, some of them look questionable. “The danger of the rankings is that they W atered -d o w n R io S alado b ill clears com m ittee are much more driven by inputs than by outputs,” Glick said. Fallows agreed, saying a good example of that is how much money the university spends per student. “You can even use (that) as a negative input,” Fallows said. “But as I said, we are revising what we can do about it.” Associated Students of ASU President Marc Baumgartner agreed with Stanford’s position that the main mission of a university is to educate, not to be at the top of a ranking. “I think that ASU is fulfilling the mission,” Baumgartner said. “But it's a little bit hypo­ critical of Stanford to be against rankings — many students go there because of rankings.” Gerhard Casper, president of Stanford University, said in a written statement that he doesn’t believe the quality of a universi­ ty can be measured statistically. “As the president of a university that is among top-ranked universities, I hope I have the standing to persuade you that much about these rankings — particularly their specious formulas and spurious preci­ sion — is utterly misleading.” Casper said. Fallows said he is thinking about what the magazine should do to make the rank­ ings more constructive. “But I cannot say anything specific,” he added. He also said that while he takes serious responsibility for that part of U.S. News and World Report, he doesn’t accept some of the complaints. “Our rankings are only a guideline to compare the options for you.” AIDS v ig il B y J en n ifer N etherby S t a t e P ress A watered-down version of the Rio Salado bill passed the state Senate Finance Committee Monday, gutting the proposed construction tax break by $5 million. The new version excludes any hotel construction from getting a tax break. l i e Commercial Enhancement Reuse District itili, as originally drafted, would have given Tempe an $8 million tax break on construction costs fori the pro­ posed 1,000-room Peabody Hotel and Convention Center as well as other construction in the area. The tax break was proposed as a business incentive to start the hotel construction. The amended versioa wiil provide a maxim«m $3 million dollar tax break for construction of tbe Town Lake and other municipal construction. The cost of the construction be capped at $100 million. The time frame for project’s wits : extended from three years to five years. The committee approved die Itili by a f rto J y o fc , It will now move on to the Senate Rules Committee, Mayor Neil Giuliano said the tax break ia necessary for the Rio Salado project. :■< l’j “W ith a project like this size, incentives time needed,” he said. . ^ ;f : Sen.

Students, faculty, alumni and staff listened to stories from AIDS victims and others whose lives have been affected by AIDS- Fraternity party-control program not working, security officials say B y R o w e E dgeel S tate P ress More than a year after the implementation of a program intended to curb underage drinking and bring order to fra­ ternity parties, two security company officials staffing the events said it is not working. However, campus police, say there has been a reduction in fraternity-related problems due to the program. The Greek Alcohol Risk Reduction Program, GARRP, requires fraternities to hire outside security companies to check partiers’ I.D.s at the door. Participants who are of drinking age wear wristbands and all alcohol must be checked in. Drinkers are also given a card indicating die type and amount of alcohol they can consume during the party. Taren Jew ell, the vice president o f operations at Showtime Services Inc., a security company hired by many of the fraternities, said the program is “not going great.” Jewell said the fraternities have “one last chance” before Showtime tells fraternity officials that they will not work for them any longer. “(Fraternity members) grab wrist bands and switch them,” Jewell said. “We would have more control if the fra­ ternities would just let us do our job.” Interfratemity Council President Aaron Engram dis­ agreed. “The parties have definitely toned down,” he said. “Before; parties did get out control. Now, they are limited to 250 people when before we sometimes had over 500.” Although the fraternities are making the effort to reduce minors' access to alcohol, they are also criticized for com­ promising the effectiveness of the program.

Kay Gojkovich. “We don’t see the problems we used to have.” Gojkovich said police have noticed a decrease in the num ber o f com plaints and calls for assistance since the begin­ ning of GARRP.

The idea for GARRP, created by a board of University faculty, staff and students, took effect October 1, 1995 and includes the following requirements: • Fraternities must pre-register their parties with an adviser. • Parties must have signatures of the chap­ ter president and social chairman. • No party advertisements may proclaim the party will have alcohol. » No beer trucks or kegs are allowed. • No more than a twelve pack of beer or an eight pack o f wine coolers is allow ed inside. • Alcohol must be issued to drinkers by a hired bartender who keeps tabs on how much has been consumed. • Once the alcohol is checked in, it cannot leave the party. • Three security guards must be provided for every party with 74 people and one more guard must be added for each addi­ tional group of 74 partiers, “The main purpose is to reduce liability for the organization,” Engram said. “It makes fraternities think more and take pre­ cautionary steps,” He added that some underage drinking probably still occurs, but it is up to the security guards to check I.D.s and make sure that people who are not supposed to be drinking don’t have access to the alcohol. l yo u mmm Q U A LIF Y FO R Sport Pacing«, Minar, fill Whtil,l/C, JMMagnumV6,4Sptti Aaiomctk, 40/20/40 Split (aneli Steli!

Albright pleased the French by inviting President Jacques Chirac “to put his shoul­ der to the wheel” in Arab-Israeli peacemak­ ing. She also succeeded without ruffling French feathers in sidetracking a proposal for a five-power summit to allay Russian concerns over NATO’s projected expansion eastward. “We’ve had some ups and downs, why not have an up period?” a pleased French Prime Minister Alain Juppe told Albright at the end of their meeting. And Foreign M inister Herve de Charette, who like Juppe has had some rough times with the first Clinton adminis­ tration. was velvet smooth during a joint news conference with Albright at the Quai d’Orsay. “We did everything to dispel the impression there are clouds in the relation­ ship,” he said. Chirac greeted Albright with a kiss on each cheek, and de Charette went one-up, kissing the U.S. secretary of state five tim es, according to State D epartm ent spokesman Nicholas Bums, four times on the cheek and once on the hand. “Our relationship is very solid and posi­ tive.” Albright sard. Bums said the United States and France had found common ground on urging reforms in Zaire and wanting neighboring countries to steer clear of a rebellion in the eastern part of the African county. Only a year ago. the French were grum­ bling that then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher's trip to Africa was an election ploy. French officials suggested they had a special expertise that the United States should respect. And in the Middle East, de Charette complicated Christopher’s drive to halt cross-border attacks between Israel and Lebanon by riding his own diplomatic shut­ tle and advising the Arabs to hold out for better terms. On his last trip to Paris, in November, Christopher was presented with five French novels by de Charette, who told him he would have a chance to improve his French in retirement. While signaling along with the French the onset of better relations, A lbright checked reports from Beijing that Deng Xiao-ping, the architect of China’s eco­ nomic modernization, was near death. She said she could not corroborate the reports. And she monitored what she described as very serious concern about tensions on the Korean peninsula, authorizing spokesman Bums to say a resumption of food aid to N orth Korea w ould be announced within a few days. A fter delivering about $6.1 m illion worth, food shipments were halted when a North Korean submarine ventured into South Korean waters last September. In Seoul, South Korea said it would send food aid and nuclear technicians to North Korea despite tension with its communist rival over the shooting of one defector and a standoff involving another. The one apparent uneasy moment occurred earlier in Bonn when German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel hotly rejected any suggestion the Church of Scientology was being singled out as Jews had been in Germany early in the Nazi period, “We perceive Scientology not as a reli­ gion but as a profit-making organization,” he said. “Scientologists are not persecuted.” Lionel Cironneau/Associated Press French Foreign Minister Herve de Charette, left, kisses U.S Secretary of State Madeleine Albright as She arrives at the Elysee Palace to meet President Jacques Chirac Monday.

Starr and the Whitewater prosecutor's the announcement by Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif. But a law yer fam iliar with the Whitewater probe cautioned against read­ ing too much into Starr’s stepping down from the investigation. Starr will decide what, if any. action to take against the Clintons and “he will have ample time to consider all matters,” said the lawyer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The lawyer said the question of precise­ ly when Starr will leave the Whitewater prosecutor’s office has yet to be decided. A former presidential aide suggested indictments won’t be forthcoming. “Is Starr going to indict the first lady and then leave for the West Coast? I don’t think so,” said the aide, speaking on condition of anonymity. Zaire war escalates as three towns get bombed, 6 dead B y T in a S usm an A sso c ia te d P ress KINSHASA, Z aire — G overnm ent forces bombed three rebel-held towns in eastern Zaire on Monday and vowed to intensify the attacks, which witnesses said killed at least six people. It was the sharpest escalation yet iri the five-month war. The towns of Bukavu, W alikale and Shabunda were bom bed, said D efense Ministry spokesman Leon Kalima. He gave no casualty figures but urged civilians to leave rebel-held areas. “These bombardments will continue and intensify,” Kalima said. Aid workers said six people were killed and at least 20 wounded in Bukavu. “T hese num bers could grow ,” said Brenda Barton, a spokeswoman for the U.N. World Food Program, based in Nairobi, Kenya. “There’s a panic in the town,” and many people are fleeing, she said. T here were no im m ediate casualty reports from Shabunda and Walikale, two other towns under the control o f Laurent Kabila’s Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo-Zaire, which began fighting Z airian troops in Septem ber. Kabila started the war after Zaire threatened to expel Tutsis who had lived for decades in eastern Zaire. In Kalemie, 300 miles south of Bukavu, Kabila condemned the attacks as a “terrorist action” and said his army was preparing “to bring the war where these planes are com­ ing from.” He said the Zairian planes came from Kindu, 200 miles west of Bukavu, one of two airports in eastern Zaire controlled by the government. Kabila said the government was trying to dem oralize the population, telling The Associated Press that there were no specific military targets in the areas that were bombed. Since the fighting began, Kabila has routed government troops from the swath of land bordering Uganda, Rw anda and Burundi. President Mobutu Sese Seko has rejected international calls for negotiations to end the conflict and vowed to press ahead with a counteroffensive launched in January from the eastern city of Kisangani, about 300 miles northwest of Bukavu. R eporters and aid w orkers visiting K isangani in the past few weeks have reported seeing Mi-24 combat gunships and warplanes, apparently piloted by mercenar­ ies from eastern Europe. “We have the means to win,” Mobutu’s prime minister, Leon Kengo wa Dondo, told parliament on Saturday. Parliament met again in closed session Monday to dis­ cuss the idea of negotiations, which opposi­ tion parties support. But Kengo said they were out of die question. Foreign diplomats and Zairian political observers say Mobutu, ailing with prostate cancer and holed up at his isolated home village o f G badolite, is com ing under increased pressure from his own party to open talks with Kabila but has refused to give the go-ahead. ______ Opinion______ Page 4 Tuesday, February 18, 1997 ta m lte s .

This scandal involves all levels of the Clinton adminis­ tration, the Democratic party and unethical fund raising prac­ tices. The scandal deals with the a p p a re n t ille g a l funds received by the Dem ocratic National Committee from for­ eign entities, the unprecedented opening of foreign mar­ kets and the lifting o f trade sanctions against Asian nations which have historically committed human rights violations. Tragically, the White House has no scruples about how it acquires campaign funds. The latest in a growing list of clearly illegal financial activity — including Whitewater-Madison Guaranty, the Lipo Group-lndonesian connection, the Buddhist TempleA1 Gore affair and known drug dealers being solicited for Campaign funds while visiting the White House — is so overwhelming, not even the liberals will be able to deny the accountability of their party and their president. However, the amount of delusion that has permeated liberal thinking about their King may allow them the comfort to overlook the magnitude of treason. N either denying nor confirm ing the allegations, President Clinton said on Thursday he was “puzzled” and “it is very serious” that DNC funds were being Tunneled through the Chinese Embassy before last year’s elections. The money,; $690,000, w3®collected at a “coffee” with the president of the United States. The who behind the money funnel is one of China’s top up-and-com ing leaders and alleged dealer o f illegal weapons to Los Angles gangs, Wang Jun. Wang Jun and his contemporaries are the heirs to the largest communist- Ï ruled country in the world. These fledgling potentates will rule a nation fixed in Chinese symbolism and iron-fisted domestic policies that have no regard for human life, According to the Washington Post, “Charles Yah Lin Trie* a fund-raiser for the DNC, used his influence with party officials to bring Wang Jun, head of a weapons trad­ ing company owned by the Chinese military, to a White House coffee with Clinton.” Wang Jun is suspected by the FBI of trying to traffic 2,000 AK-47 automatic rifles into the possession of street gangs in the United States. Also, it is known that Wang has been the deal-maker for the purchase of long range missiles between the People’s Republic of China and the former Soviet Union. William' Satire states in the Feb. 13 New York Times: “these fixerpreneurs (Wang and his contemporaries) are the Chinese wave to the future. They are coming to power in the army, in the Forbidden City. They need an international enemy — and we are it.” Once again, President Clinton and the DNC have grant­ ed access to the highest levels of the U.S. Government and access to classified information to the Communist Chinese government. Last time it was via the former Commerce Department official John Huang, who has connections to the Chinese-owned Lipo Group. Huang, while working for the DNC, continued to hold top secret clearance as the m iddlem an betw een the Democrats and the Chinese. This current wave of allegations, like several otherevents from the past, take aim at people around the presi­ dent. Clinton once again is at the center of the controversy but shielded by plausible deniability. The connection can, however, be found in two seemingly unrelated events: Clinton’s trip to Moscow during the Vietnam War and the immortal Words of* the former Communist leader of the Soviet Union, Nikita Khrushchev, as he banged his shoe on the podium of the United Nations and exclaimed: “we will destroy you from within.” Joshua Solovskoy is a senior studying political science and can be contacted at solovskoy@msn.com.

Think of the classics like Lassie and Leave it to Beaver. In these “American” shows, it was unheard of to be absent from the dinner table when it was family mealtime. There would be an informal roll call, a gathering around the table and then a prayer or blessing the food. After the traditional preparation, the family would then participate in a plausible mealtime conversation while eating H Mom’s freshly baked bread, com on the cob and breaded pork chops. Is this as much a fantasy as these shows are sit­ coms? Maybe I’m standing out on a ledge, looking into these families only to portray their perfect stereotypical (non-exist­ ing) lifestyles. But I do recall that many families used to take part in a similar dinnertime at least once a day. More so than having a family gathering, it seems that the idea of home cooked meals has become somewhat outdat­ ed. bothersome and too time consuming. If anything, frozen meals or pre-prepared meals have been stocking our freez­ ers and cupboards for the last 10 years. Has this affected our families? I think so. There are so many things that unfortunately are prying our families apart. Of course, television and high-tech computer programs now preoccupy many, especially children. On the other hand, many mothers work and are not always able to allot time for family meals. These things aren’t bad; they just mean that families have to work harder to make time to be with one another — whether or not it involves a home cooked meal. Some say, “but that is impossible.” The lives of those who are part of an average-sized family are often chaotic and hard to keep track of: Joey has late band prac­ tice. Siizy has dance rehearsal, Billy works at the ice cream shop. Sally has soccer practice. Dad has to stay late at the office and by the time Mom gets home, the last thing she wants to do is cook. When does the family see each other? When do they talk and discuss important issues in their lives? Well, obviously no one is going to give up their beloved activities, so maybe weekends could be reserved for “family bonding,time,” Coming from a big family, the only time we have to spend together as a whole is Sunday dinner. Part of this is due to the fact that two of us don’t live at home anymore. It is for this reason that this one time of week is so vital to our family. In fact, it would be safe to say that my family plays one of the most vital roles in my life. I can’t imagine growing up without the support they gave me. We are a team. Hopefully, the fact that we have team meetings once a week won’t take away from our strong relationships. f guess we just have to be careful. The modem world is succeeding in trying to take the place of our families. Technology and other unavoidable circumstances can pull us away from the best thing in our lives, our family. Once we as a society lose our close family units, there is no telling where values, religion, good works, service and morals will be taught. For the sake of our country, we need to work harder to maintain our strongholds and good family relations. Michelle llardt is a freshman studying journalism and can he reached at zeekl @asu.edu.

Sharon Ersch Doctorate Student Public Adm inistration Program Q uotes aim to m islead readers I am really tired of listening to the sanctim onious drivel o f people like Joshua Solovskoy who are so quick to quote Biblical admonitions against homosexuality. Particularly those who take them com­ pletely out of the context of. the time in which they were written. I note that in his Jan. 29 article, Solovskoy quotes selectively from the Book of Leviticus.— leaving out the parts stating that women don’t belong in church and most certainly should wear red dresses, that men who have an emission of semen are unclean, that it is a sin to have a tattoo and so on. But, since he insists, let me quote for you from I Corinthians 12:13-17: “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body — Jews or Greeks, slaves or free — and all were made to drink of one Spirit. “For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should, say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing?” If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single organ, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. God has so adjusted the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part, that there may be no discord in the body, but that the mem­ bers may have the same care for one anoth­ er. If one member suffers, all suffer togeth­ er; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. I also note that Jesus himself admonished the crowd to “let he who is without sin cast the first stone,” hence, I rather object to Solovskoy telling me that I am a sinner, that I belong to a group of humanity that is immoral, unnatural, illegal and illogical. M ichael Busch Adm inistrative M anager, Departm ent of Government Cornell University Transit system is key to future I wanted to comment about the transportation problems facing the Valley. A comprehen­ sive light-rail system needs to be developed to connect the various cities that comprise the Valley. This will alleviate congestion on the roads and freeways and reduce air pollution. The voters and politicians should start this system now, as putting it off worsens the situation. In addition, light-rail transportation should be readily available by the time the entire freeway system is complete. Remember that both freeways and light-rail complement each other and are not replacements for one another. Once the Valley has an adequate transporta­ tion network (this also includes more buses), then the Valley will be able to attract more investments, reduce air pollution and bring, in events such as the Olympics. Only then will Phoenix, and the metro area, be “one of the big boys” as a great city. Sanjeev Ramchandra Junior Pre-Business T iiû c H i u C o K n ia n r 1 R St a t e P r e s s 1Q Q 7 ‘U .S .

K elly State P ress “News should inform and engage, inform and entertain,, inform and reach peo­ ple in all the different dimensions,” said James Fallows, editor of U.S. News and World Report and weekly commentator for National Public Radio. “There is a lot of very good material pre­ sented by very fine and well-m eaning reporters,” he said. “However, the prevailing trends in journalism are basically bad, now.” Fallows, at ASU to deliver the 1997 ASU Centennial Lecture sponsored by the University Honors College, said that often the biggest challenge for today ’s media seems to be getting a scandal story before a competitor gets it. “If instead, the biggest challenge in this business was finding ways to engage read­ ers in what we are talking about,; that would have a different result,” he added. Fallows said even though there is more information available now than ever before in human history, people still remain unin­ formed about the outside world. Factors contributing to this situation are the invention of TV and personal lack of interest. Fallows said. “People at times are too lazy and selfindulgent to do what they should, to know what’s going on in the world,” he added. In his 1994 book, Breaking the News: How the Media Undermine American Democracy , Fallows argues that the quality of American journalism has declined over the past couple of decades. “A part of journalism that has the most problems is the part that deals with govern­ ment in general and presidents,” Fallows said, adding that there has been an unrealis­ tically negative view of both agencies. Fallows said when he was offered thé position as editor of U.S. News and World Report in September 1996, he believed he had an obligation to accept. “I had been, having these theories of journalism ,’’ FaHows said. ’‘And also I thought that I couldSdo it.” Fallows said the changes made at U.S. News and World Repbrt in the past five months were made in a context of evolution rather than revolution. “We are going to give you a news maga­ zine that is less celebrity driven and less in com petition with daily new spapers,” Fallows said.“ There will be a calm, in-depth explanation and more investigation done.” Fallows will speak during the week to journalism classes and the ASU Honors College. He will also address university deans and administrators. He will deliver the Centennial Lecture at 7:30 p.m. on W ednesday in Gammage Auditorium.

Tuesday, February 18, 1997 S t a t e P r ess H ouse ten tatively approves Gila River bridge construction Senate, ABOR conflict on education By Vivt Stenbesq State Press (AP) — The state House cleared the way Monday for a special taxing formula to fund construction of a bridge over the Gila River. The House tentatively approved a plan (HB2353) to allow sales tax revenue from Phoenix International Raceway to be diverted from the state straight to a fund to a bridge Construction fund. “We shied away from this in the past,” said Majority Leader Lori Daniels, R-Chandler. “We saw it as a raid on the general fund.” She said she thought the project was a good one but that it should be funded in another way. The bill, which still needs an official vote by the House, allows the county to sell bonds to help fund the project. Rep. Jerry Overton, R-Litchfield Park, said a bridge will provide a crucial link between the southeastern part of Maricopa County and the rest of county.

The survey, conducted by the Classified Staff Council last fall, polled the 3,032 classified staff members to get feedback concerning their jobs at ASU. Of the 1,458 responses, 93 percent said they would leave their jobs at ASU for higher pay. Of those same respon­ dents, three percent felt their pay compares to the salaries of similar jobs outside ASU. Thirty-seven percent felt their salaries compared to salaries of other jobs at the University. ASU Provost Milton Click said he feels the numbers arc an accurate representation of the situation among classified staff. He said that it is because of feelings like these that improving employee salaries continues to be one of the University’s top priorities. ASU President Lattie Coor said many talented employ­ ees are drawn away from the University by higher salaries offered outside ASÜ. He added that many people decide to stay at ASU despite the salary because of the working environment and the educational opportunities offered to employees. According to the survey, the main reason employees stay is the benefits offered by the University. Of those who responded, 86 percent said they are satisfied with their benefits package. Glick said that he did not completely understand this result. “I don’t think the benefits are outstanding — not related to the national market,” he said. He added that it remains a priority for the administration to both maintain and improve the benefits offered to classified staff. ASU police reported the following incidents on Sunday: • A male student reported that five people criminally damaged his 1971 Volkswagen Bug by flipping it over in Area 57. • A male non-affiliate was arrested for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol at 2500 S. Rural Road. , • A male employee reported that someone criminally dam­ aged the northwest doors to the hew Music Building. Tempe police reported the following incidents over the weekend: • Art adult female was arrested after she fled police on her bicycle by riding through several apartment complexes and attempting to jump over a wall. She was found to be in pos­ session of drug paraphernalia and marijuana. • An adult female was arrested on four outstanding war­ rants when she entered the Tempe Police Department to bail her daughter out of jail. • An adult male was arrested for possession of marijuana and a syringe after he ran his bike into the back of a stopped police car. The bike he was riding Was later found to be stolen. • An adult male was arrested after he threatened his father with a screwdriver and damaged his father’s air conditioning unit. The man sustained minor injuries when he resisted arrest. • An adult male was arrested for indecent exposure when two children Saw him urinating in front of his trailer. A background check revealed that the man had committed four separate sex offenses in Utah and had failed to register as a sex offender in Arizona. • An adult male was arrested at his place of employment after he physically assaulted his live-in girlfriend. The man had pulled her hair, thrown her to the ground and, tried to choke her in front of their apartment. Compiled by State Press reporter Deanna Parr and city editor Tim Tail Debbie B air, who head ed the S taff Development Committee that conducted the survey, said the overall results were very positive. She added that the final results brought to light issues the CSC Was not aware were con­ cerning classified staff. “It (the survey) shows us what our constituents feel is important,” she said. In this case, the unknown issue was overtime and compensation time, Which had not been con­ sidered a serious concern before . Glick said he too felt positive about the overall outcome of the survey. He added the results did not surprise him, but he regretted that more of the staff did not feel they were adequately respected by the state. “C lassified staff are very im portant people to the University,” he said. “Respect is something you can give somebody even when you don’t have;money.” M O TO RO LA HAYDEN’S FERRY REVIEW ASU's Award Winning Literary Magazine P a g e r A ctiva tio n U nlim ited P a g e s FA L L / W I N T E R IS S U E & 9 T e n t h A n n iv e r say I s s u e Includes work by: Ron Carlson, Yosef Komunyakaa, Alison Denting, Naomi Shihab Aye, Alberto Rios, Jeanine Savard, Beckian Fritz Goldberg and Rick Bass ON SALENOW 1 Year A irtim e! $8999 P a g e r A ctiva tio n U nlim ited P a g e s Available at: •L anguage & Literature Patio 8c M U Mall M ondays & Thursdays, 10-2 2 Years A irtim e ! $11999 •S tu d en t Publications in th e Matthews C enter B asem ent •Your Favorite B ookstore P a g e r A ctivation U n lim ited P a g e s You are invited to join On C am pus !

George Wendt, who played Norm on the NBC comedy, donated the script to the Handel & Haydn Society, a classi­ cal orchestra and chorus. It had been autographed by the entire Cheers cast. The script was stolen Saturday night while a hotel secu­ rity guard took a telephone call. It had received a high bid of $1,000. Many partygoers at the Four Seasons Hotel wore masks in keeping with the theme, Carnival in Venice. Security videotape was being studied. Proceeds were to benefit 7,000 students in the Boston area.
