O fficials to review n o skates, boards p o licy B y K evin C ulwell State P ress :. * . Outlaw boarders and bladers on campus could soon hâve reason to rejoice. University officials and students have formed a public safety action committee to examine better ways of increas­ ing safety on campus, with thé main objective the incorpo­ ration of in-line skaters and skateboarders into ASU policy, said J.D. W allace, honors college senator for the Associated Students of ASU. It is currently illegal to in-line skate or skateboard on campus “This is a very big issue on our campus,” said Art Carter, dean of Student Life and committee member. “We need to look into every avenue to best ensure student safety.” Carter and Wallace are the main proponents of the com­ mittee. “We’re trying to see how to accommodate (the skaters and skateboarders) because they really aren’t as big a safety concern as bikers,” Wallace said. “It isn’t fair that (skaters) aren’t allowed on campus.” There is a large number of in-line skaters at ASU, and they should be allowed on campus, said Activities Vice President Keith Menard. “The ASU police generally doesn't cite Rollerbladers anyways,” he said. “It would be in the best interest of everyone to allow them in officially.” ASU police Lt. Bennett Rowe said there are infinitely more citations issued to bicycle riders than in-line skaters. However, skaters are usually difficult to apprehend. He said citations do not differentiate between bicycles and in-line skates, so there are no statistics available on the number of citations issued. “It's-very hard to get people to comply with the regu­ lations,” Rowe said. “It’s also tough to get people off their skates when we do catch them. It seems people take it lightly.” T urn to S keters, page 2.

MGC rejects 4-year community college proposal B y V ivi Stenbi Rti S tate P ress While community colleges around ASU await further actions on a state Senate bill that would allow them to offer certain upper division courses and bachelor degrees, a Maricopa Community Colleges official said they do not want to be universities. MCC spokeswoman Louise Gacioch wrote in a statement that “we don’t want to be 4-year colleges.” “The Maricopa Community Colleges are only interested in selected, applied bac­ calaureate programs such as law enforce­ ment, fire science, mortuary science and allied health professions,” she wrote. In a joint statement, college officials expressed concern that their institutions will lose flexibility and responsiveness to the communities they serve if they become small versions of state universities. Howard G reenlee, spokesm an for Paradise Valley Community Colleges, said that through the existing “2+2 model,” the college is already offering particular degrees. The model describes the current system, in which students can take two years at a community college and two years at a university. “In my estimation, the community col­ leges’ mission is to offer classes for the first two years,” Greenlee said. Greenlee added that he understood the significance of the bill for rural areas in the state, but said, “our plate is full.” The bill, drafted by state Sen. Carol Springer, R-Prescott, aimed to expand the partnership between Northern A rizona University and Yavapai Community College. Originally, the bill would have removed regulations that limit community colleges to offer only lower division courses in the arts, sciences, humanities and in vocational edu­ cation. However, the bill has now been amend­ ed to limit this expansion to degrees not currently offered by traditional 4-year institutions. Linda Thor, president of Rio Salado Community College, said she is a strong supporter of the bill. Thor said RSCC experiences heavy demand from the surrounding community to offer bach­ elor’s degrees in its current programs. Thor also said if the bill is passed, T urn to C ommunity colleges , page 2.

Two Tibetan monks visiting Phoenix this week infused ASU students with their mes­ sage of peace and harmony Tuesday. The group o f 11 m onks from the D repung Loseling M onastery in Tibet arrived in Phoenix Sunday and will be par­ tic ip a tin g in various cu ltu ral ev en ts through Friday. Their stop at ASU is part of a series of events organized to inform Arizonans of Tibetan culture, including the six-day construction of an elaborate sand mandala — a Buddhist artform — at the Scottsdale Civic Center. “This world is changing a lo t,” said Tokden Rimpoche, through interpreter and fellow monk Syri Wantauk. “Our future depends on the younger generation. It is important for them to understand different cultures.” Eileen Borris, executive director of the local nonprofit organization Peace Initiatives, which is hosting the monks’ A rizona tour, gave a b rief lecture on Tibetan methods of conflict resolution and cultural aspects at the Memorial Union. Peace Initiatives is a nonprofit agency created to promote peace building and con­ flict resolution. Borris,said Peace Initiatives has taken a special interest in Tibetan cul­ ture and the cu rren t po litical co n flict between China and Tibet. The Chinese government has imposed i sanctions on the practice of Buddhism in Tibet, resulting in what some politicians have called “cultural genocide.” “I think it is important that ASU stu­ dents are exposed to a culture that is as T urn to M onks, page 2.

An $18 fine involves violators being caught on a simple speeding charge, whereas the $125 fine encompasses reckless endangerment. “If we feel that the offenders endanger other people’s safety, we can cite them for endanger­ ment,” Rowe said. “Every now and then we get a bonehead who thinks he has the ability to ride at reckless speeds.” Students who are apprehended have the fine added to their tuition balance and grades will be withheld from non-payers. Rowe said although he would support any policy ASU’s administration devises, the fact remains that the campus layout isn’t designed for skating or skateboarding. “This place really isn ’t accommodating for Rollerblading. There are a lot of narrow roads and sharp turns,” he said. “But my job is to enforce whatever policy they bring to me, so it really doesn’t matter to me one way or another.” Com m unity colleges C ontinued from page 1.

The Arizona Board of Regents has, on several occasions, criticized the bill. The regents have expressed concern the bill would result in a massive demand for funding from the state’s community colleges. Thor did not share a similar concern. “The model we have proposed will not need extra funding,” she said. Thor added that RSCC would use existing funds and infrastructure to expand the school’s offerings. Herman Walker, dean of students at Scottsdale Community College, said the idea of transforming community colleges into 4-year institutions was “excellent.” Walker said if the bill is passed, community col­ leges can be available for at-risk students who oth­ erwise are not eligible for university degrees.

The recently founded ASU chapter of Students for a Free Tibet, one of 80 college chapters around the country, has helped facilitate the m onks’ Arizona tour. Cortland Coleman, a senior political science major who founded the group, said getting to see the monks was exciting and inspiring for him. “It really puts a face on all of the stories and all of the news that has come out of Tibet,” Coleman said. “1 am very confident that student action can help change things in Tibet.” ’. Chris Green, a member of Students for a Free Tibet, agreed that seeing the monks has helped motivate him to be active in helping raise student consciousness about Tibet. - “It is important for people to be cognizant of what is going on in Tibet or it will continue,” said Green, a junior political science and religious stud­ ies major. “When people can see a tangible part of the Tibetan culture, it helps them see what is really going on there.” MANAGEMENT/SALES TRAINING •1 AUTO W P le a se p r e -sc h e d u le w ith ou r E xp ress L u b e D e p a r tm en t.

The jurors decided that du Pont commit­ ted third-degree murder, or murder without premeditated intent, but was also mentally ill. The conviction means du Pont will like­ ly spend time in a mental hospital, and then begin serving a prison sentence of up to 20 to 40 years, if and when he is deemed cured. However, because du Pont has no prior record, he could be freed on parole after as little as five years in custody. Judge Patricia Jenkins Will hold a hear­ ing to determine if du Pont should spend time in a mental hospital. The sentence also carries a $50,000 fine. Du Pont also was convicted of one count of assault for pointing his gun at his securi­ ty consultant but acquitted of a Second for pointing it at David Schultz’s wife. Du Pont, appearing in court with long, greasy, gray hair and a scraggly beard, stared dispassionately ahead when the ver­ dict was read. Schultz's father, Phillip, said the jury apparently compromised, “but I think he’s going to be spending his life in prison, one way or another, metaphorically or in truth. He’s going to jail forever.” Both sides agreed that the chemical for­ tune heir was mentally ill when he shot Schultz, 36, on Jan. 26, 1996, outside the w restler’s home on du P o n t’s estate, Foxcatcher Farm. But prosecutors said his illness stopped short of legal insanity and said du Pont killed Schultz because he was jealous of the respect the 1984 Olympics gold medalist commanded in the wrestling world. Defense lawyers said Du Pont, 58, was a paranoid schizophrenic who fancied himself as the Dalai Lama, the Christ Child and other grandiose figures. They said he could not tell right from wrong when he shot Schultz three times in his driveway, the third time in the back while Schultz’s wife watched. Jurors had the choice of acquitting him by reason of insanity, finding him guilty but mentally ill, or finding him guilty of first-degree murder, third-degree murder or voluntary manslaughter. Jurors apparently rejected the insanity ' defense early in their deliberations, based on the questions they asked the judge. Several times, they asked for explanations about the differences between the possible guilty verdicts. The third-degree verdict means the jury believes du Pont acted with malice but not premeditation. Prosecutors, in arguing for a first-degree murder conviction, noted that he grabbed a .44-caliber Magnum — not his usual .38caliber handgun — before setting off on a car ride around his estate. Four defense psychiatrists testified that du Pont’s mind was racked by paranoid schizophrenia, distorting his perception of real­ ity and making him believe Schultz was an agent of an international conspiracy to kill him. The trial was delayed several months after psychiatrists for both sides concluded mental illness would prevent him from cooperating w ith attorneys. Since September, he has undergone treatment at Norristown State Hospital.

A rm y w ith h eld in fo rm atio n o n Iraq i ch em ical w eapon s By S usanne M . Schafer A ssociated P ress WASHINGTON — Senior Army officers fighting the Gulf War suspected in February 1991 that an Iraqi weapons depot contained chemical weapons but failed to alert U.S. troops who blew up the site less than two weeks later, the Pentagon acknowledged Tuesday. The information is contained in a still-classified doc­ ument, according to the Pentagon’s senior investigator into Gulf War matters, Bernard Rostker. He has asked the CIA to declassify the memo, but the request has been denied because it would disclose “sources and methods” on how the information was obtained, Rostker told reporters at a Pentagon briefing. Rostker called the briefing to release his report into the March 1991 destruction of the Iraqi storage site at Kam isiyah by m em bers o f the 37th E ngineering Battalion. Last June, the Pentagon announced that it had only recently learned that U.S. troops may have been exposed to chemical weapons during the destruction of the site. However, the new report makes clear that informa­ tion existed even before the war was concluded on Feb. 28, 1991, that the Army suspected chemical weapons were at Kamisiyah. On Capitol Hill, senators who have been critical of the Pentagon’s handling of unexplained illnesses among Gulf War veterans said the new report adds weight to suspicions óf a government cover-up. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said “we now know positively” that the CIA informed the Army on Feb. 23, 1991, that there were chemical weapons at Kamisiyah and “totally failed to publicly come forward until late last year.” The CIA, he said, “is every bit as implicated” as the Defense Department. “It is my judgment a cover-up of major proportions, and will lead to very serious consequential actions,” Rockefeller said. Sen. Arlen Spector, R-Pa., chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, said: “It’s extremely disconcerting to find out this morning that the Department of Defense knew about this on Feb. 23, 1991, and had never told us that, which puts the destruction in March of ’91 in a very different light.” R ostker said he does not believe any cover-up occurred, saying only that his report highlights “missed opportunities” to pass on information or to investigate what actually happened in the years after the war. “There’s no question that there were leads that were not followed,” he said, although “people (were) trying to do their job as best they could.” Israeli soldiers fire on Palestinians in West Bank B y Samar A ssad A ssociated P ress Israeli soldiers patrol the West Bank village of Hizme after Israeli soldiers opened Are In the vil­ lage killing one Palestinian and wounding three Tuesday. The army said the shooting occurred during a confrontation between soldiers and villagers. HEM E, West Bank — Israeli, soldiers in civilian clothing opened fire in a West Bank village Tuesday, killin g one Palestinian and wounding three. Troops used tear gas to quell later clashes with stone-throwing Palestinians. The army said the shooting occurred during a confrontation between soldiers and villagers in Hizme, just north of Jerusalem, an area that is under jo in t Israeli and Palestinian control. It heightened fears of a new wave of violence in the West Bank, which is already tense because o f Israel’s plan to build a new Jew ish neighborhood in east Jerusalem. Palestinians, who hope to estab­ lish a capital in east Jerusalem, warn the construction could derail the peace process. Witnesses said the shooters were dressed in civilian clothes and Israel TV said they were from an elite undercover unit. Ali Salah a-Din, who was hospitalized with a wound in his leg, said he thought the three young men who entered his village armed with handguns and speaking Hebrew were Jewish settlers. They walked up to his house, grabbed his nephew and “hit him with the butts of their guns,” he said. When confronted by family members, the men opened fire, he said. Soldiers posted at a nearby checkpoint refused to help and an army jeep entered the village and left with the gunmen, he said. Y ossi S hoval, spokesm an for Jerusalem’s Hadassah hospital, identified the dead man as Mohammed Abdel Aziz Abu Hallowi, 56. He said Hallowi was wounded in the knee and was dead on arrival. An arm y statem ent said the Israeli troops had been attacked by Palestinian residents and fired.

As far as we know, Kainal had no prior criminal history that would raise the suspi­ cion o f th e clerk behind the counter at the I Florida gun shop where he purchased the gun. Therein lies the problem. Guns can be bought at shows, garage sales, auctions, from newspa­ per advertiseniehts, back alleys and a host o f other venues that do not require background checks. We have to ask what the point is to have [a program that checks the backgrounds o f people when they are buying a gtm at a store — where relatively few weapons are sold — and w it at an auction. Are the logistics o f im ple­ menting nation-wide, all-inclusive background checks a nightmare?

I agree. Fortunately, the equally important principles of free expression permit me to rant about the bad apples of American commerce until I am blue in the face. One of the most immoral, d isg u stin g p a rtic ip a n ts in A m erica’s great free enter­ prise system is the ticket scalping industry. Legions of unscrupulous leeches are licensed to hoard and then scalp tickets to concerts and sporting events, under the guise of “agency.” Though we’ve all seen the agencies in strip m alls, few people are fam iliar with how they acquire so many seemingly scarce tickets — so let me illustrate. T hree w eeks ago, tick ets w ent on sale through Dillards for a concert in March. Camping out for concert tickets, o f course, is a time-honored ritual in America. Year after year loyal, dedicated fans of popular bands stand in line for hours, sometimes days, often in freezing weather. The system was inherently just: the most loyal fans ended up with the best seats. But on th is S aturday m orning, I arriv ed at Z ia Records before sunrise to find 15 homeless people stand­ ing in line, with two greasy-haired, leather-jacket-clad men in front of them. I ran over to Gammage and found only five people in line: three leather-clad men and two homeless children. The agencies pay homeless people to stand in line for tickets. At either venue, I would have been the first person in line who could name a song from the band. If the scalpers infiltrated all Dillards outlets to the extent they did in Tempe, in my estimation they ended up with approxi­ mately half of the available tickets. The show sold out immediately, leaving many true fans without tickets. Some will say, “quit your whining; it’s just capital­ ism .” Lest you think this is a petty gripe, piece; you: sh ould know th at I ended up w ith good seats. Nevertheless, as. an advocate of good capitalism, I feel the need to discuss why this is its antithesis. First, the very notion of “agency” is m isleading. Agency implies convenience to the customer: I use a travel agent to avoid having to call a dozen airlines to find the lowest fare. I sign up with an employment agen­ cy every summer to avoid the cumbersome task of call­ ing hundreds of offices in search of temporary work. On the other hand, ticket “agencies” provide absolutely no service to the customer, In fact, they are less convenient than Dillards outlets since there are fewer of them. They merely hoard the tickets to create an artificial scarcity, then sell them for outrageous profit. F o r fan s who are d en ied tick ets on acco u n t o f scalpers, their only recourse is to buy tickets from those very scalpers. For popular shows, tickets can easily run in the hundreds of dollars as opposed to a $20-40 face value. Hundreds of dollars is a month’s salary or more for a high school student working part-time. In other words, scalpers price concerts far out of the range of all but the wealthiest fans. • Music fans, especially in youth-oriented genres such as modern rock and hip-hop, span the socio-economic spectrum. Music is often a vital part of a lower-income youth’s existence, an escape from the harsh realities of urban life. A vast majority of teenagers, however, are simply out of luck if concert tickets run in the hundreds of dollars. The concert industry has taken steps to remove the leeches. Many outlets now. assign places in line by lot­ tery. This solution, while potentially lessening the effect of crafty scalpers, takes away the element of loyalty and dedication. Though the agencies are too numerous to be classified as a monopoly, surely the crafters of anti-trust legislation had just this sort of pathetic, exploitative pseudo-capital­ ism in mind. Even if we Can’t outlaw them, we can take advantage of everyone’s favorite non-governmental solu­ tion to bad capitalism: the boycott, Adam Schiffer is a graduate student in political science. ----------1 s TAFF STATE PRESS BRIAN ANDERSON, Editor DUSTIN KRUGEL, Managing Editor COPY E D ITO RS: Jodi Bafundo, Lorie Roberts.

O f course, in the student handbook and in the course catalog, nothing is men­ tioned of this fact. Nowhere are instructions given in how to deal with ASU’s A ccounts Receivable, Financial Aid or Campus Police. No, from the beginning of an ASU student’s career, he or she gets a crash course. There are no prerequisites. From the beginning, we don’t know which parts of these vast bureaucracies to trust. We walk in, expecting them to know us, to understand our needs. That’s what we think. Usually, though, we are in for a rude awakening at least a couple of times in our academic Careers. It is extremely common, for example, to hear one answer to a certain question when you call an ASU office and then to hear a different answer to the same question when you actually go down to that office in person. The most mad­ dening thing is that it is very difficult to track down the per­ son who told you the erroneous information over the phone to begin with. Although not all bureaucrats behave in an impersonal way toward students, many do. A student could be out of money, could be almost out on the street when he or she seeks financial help, yet many bureaucrats don’t appear to show enough empathy. The response of the bureaucrat is usually in “bureaucratese,” such as, “You didn’t fill out the form completely. Please finish filling out the form while in line. Next!’’ Inevitably, the line turns out to be longer than a football field. Some workers, of course, are caring and sym­ pathetic to students’ needs, but a fair amount seem to lack a Certain warmth toward students. Students get frustrated with this treatment and inevitably lash out. The real problem with dealing with a bureaucracy as large as ASU is that sometimes there is no one to be found to get angry with. Everything is so big and impersonal that rather than being able to talk to an individual, you end up talking to a department or college. How do you vent your frustrations to a department or college? What do you Say? “I’m mad at you, you damned department. You messed up my Stafford Loan!” The problem is that there is no one person who can be held accountable, only a department. It’s very irritating not to know who should be held accountable. However, in the bureaucracy that is ASU, this happens more often than not. How do you get mad at an entire system, especially one as big as ASU? It leaves many, including myself at times, feeling quite powerless when trying to achieve change. Dealing with people is one thing; dealing with a system is entirely something else. . What’s ironic is that we’ve established all these systems to supposedly make things faster. But at what cost?

Many times you’ll be waiting for a very long time and then accidentally be dis­ connected by the system. Who do you yell at when you call back? Many say this is the price of technology. It is true that we need bigger systems to handle the everincreasing demand. At what cost, though? When do sys­ tems become so frustrating and depersonalizing to users that the original purpose of the system is no longer served? Some of these systems treat us like objects instead of human beings. They are so huge that there is no account­ ability to the students (or anybody else) when things go wrong. Once in awhile, a worker might apologize, but usu­ ally the student is never able to track down the worker who made the mistake in the first place and the student is again dealing with a nameless, faceless bureaucracy. Bureaucracies and systems that depersonalize are not only confined to ASU. They’re all over the place. All one has to do is look at the postal system or the IRS. There real­ ly isn’t a way to change these systems from within. Inevitably, another system would be set up to reform the existing ones. Eventually, that system, too, would need to be reformed. It’s a joke and in many cases, we’re the punch line. The only way we can change things as students is to try to make it a point to always get a first and last name when dealing, with a bureaucrat, make sure it's written down and to always be assertive.

Frankly, I don’t like them being out there and yelling at people like that for two reasons. Number one is that they are judging peopie falsely. I know that I am not going to Hell because the Bible tells me that I am not. Being a baptized and faithful follower of Jesus Christ, I can be confident of things that He has promised to me through His word. Just one of these promises is that I am going to Heaven and I am not going to have to suffer through an eternity in Hell. The mall preachers are wrong because they are judging people w ithout really knowing their lives. Sure, there are quite a few ASU students who are living lives con­ trary to the teachings of Jesus. Whether or not they will ever change their ways and come to an understanding of the gospel, I don’t know. It is not my job to judge, which is something that I am grateful for because it would be a tough job; it is only my job to try and share the word with as many souls as possible and to proclaim the word of God with my mouth and my life. My second reason for not wanting the mall preachers out on campus is that they make it more difficult for people to share Jesus in a m eaningful way. As many times as I have seen the preachers out there, I have never seen one person come to them and say that they want to change their life. But they do instill in people a picture of Christians that is skewed from the reality. So when real evangelists offer to share the word o f God with people, they get looked at as i f they are some voracious beast who is going to beat everyone over the head with their Bible until all repent. That is just not the way that it is. The job of Christians is to teach; occasionally this does involve a warning of the coming judgment, not with shouts and accusations, but with love and tears. Christ cares about the souls of people. He wants all to be saved and to live a new life worthy of their calling. I don’t know if the mall preachers are saved or not, but that is not for me to decide. I do know that the Bibles they carry under their arms do con­ tain the word of God, and that same God is a keeper of His promises. So I urge every­ one to come to know God through his word, and let Him change their lives. He has mine. If you want someone to study with, then email me at keithlO@asu.edu.

Kelly State P ress Fleet Manager John H. Nichols dem onstrates the stealth electric cart behind in the Fleet Services parking lot Tuesday afternoon. The cart is at ASU for demonstration purposes. Small, white electric carts are a familiar sight on campus. But a turquoise one with an aerospace shape? The futuristic cart has been drawing atten­ tion for almost a month now, said John H. Nichols, manager of ASU’s fleet. “It’s a loan­ er from Trans Two of Arizona, that promotes this kind of neighborhood cart.” Johnson said the cart is more of a “people” cart than an industrial one. “It is faster, more comfortable and safer with the seat belts that protect driver and a passenger,” he said. “In general, it is built along the comfort line, but does not have much space to carry things on.” The cart can be also driven on a local street up to 25 mph, Johnson said. It has a range of about 30 miles. The cart, which uses three 12-volt batter­ ies, is going to be in use on campus for two more weeks. Recharging is as easy as plug­ ging it into a standard electric outlet. “Different departments have been using it for the past weeks,” he said. “Now they can decide if they want to buy one like it or not” The cost of the cart is about $5,500, which is $1,000 more than the cost of a standard industrial cart, Johnson said. He also said the University has more need for the industrial type, which are cheaper and have more space to transport items. “We have 105 of the industrial carts and they are probably more useful for an institu­ tion like the University,” Johnson said. “The oldest models come from 1972, but we also have a few 1997 models.” • Adam Brass, assigned account specialist of Naumann/Hobbs Material Handling, visited campus Tuesday and said his company is inter­ ested in selling industrial carts to the University. “We have already sold many of the carts to the University and we just want to offer a different kind of product now,” Brass said. Johnson said there are about 30 carts that have been bought from the company. “The University, in general, is interested in any electric carts that are environment-friend­ ly,” Johnson said.

That amount, which could be up to $143 per day, would apply only to those who live farther than 50 miles from the state Capitol. The rate for Maricopa County legislators would be at least half of the out-of-town legislators’ rate. Legislators waffled, but in the end the bill narrowly passed, 33-22. Bills must have 31 votes to pass. Rep. Kathi Foster, D-Phoenix, was the only member that asked to be excused from the vote, saying she was “philosophi­ cally opposed to voting for anything that benefits legislators.” • Rep.

The House on Tuesday approved a bill (HB2313) that would allow the Speaker of die House and the Senate presi­ dent to raise legislators living allowances. Currently, Maricopa County lawmakers get $35 a day and out-of-town legislators receive $60 a day during the session.

The vote sends the bill to the Senate for its consideration. Earlier Tuesday, House members by voice votes gave tentative approval to two resolutions that will go before voters in 1998 if formally approved by the Legislature. One resolution (HCR2024) would amend the Arizona Constitution to lengthen the terms of senators and represen­ tatives from two years to four starting in 1999. Eight-year term limits would be unchanged, meaning lawmakers would only run for re-election once instead of three times if they served that long. No one spoke on behalf of the resolution on the floor. The sponsor, Rep. Andy N ichols, D-Tucson, was in Washington on business and not immediately available for comment.

Of course, in the Columnist student handbook and in the course catalog, nothing is men­ tioned of this fact. Nowhere are instructions given in how to deal with A S U ’s Accounts Receivable, Financial Aid or Campus Police. No, from the beginning of an ASU. student’s career, he or She gets a crash course. There are no prerequisites. From the beginning, we don’t know which parts of these vast bureaucracies to trust. We walk in, expecting them to know us, to understand oifr needs, That’s what we think. Usually, though, we are in for a rude awakening at least a couple of times in our academic careers. It is extremely common, for example, to hear one answer to a certain question when you call an ASU office and then to hear a different answer to the same question when you actually go down to that office in person. The most mad­ dening thing is that it is very difficult to track down the per­ son who told you the erroneous information over the phone to begin with. Although not all bureaucrats behave in an impersonal Way toward students, many do. A student could be out of money, could be almost out on the street when he or she seeks financial help, yet many bureaucrats don’t appear to choose the right option. This might be an “efficient” way to show enough empathy. The response of the bureaucrat is do things, but how personal is it?

Sym ington’s attorney« request federal judge dism iss two counts B y P atrick G raham A ssociated P ress " G o v . F ife S y m in g to n ’s atto rn e y s Tuesday asked a federal judge to dismiss two counts against the former real estate developer. The challenged counts — part of a 23count federal indictment — accu se the governor of hiding the condition of his financial health from a bank and commit­ ting perjury during a 1995 bankruptcy hearing. U.S. District Judge Roger G. Strand took the matter under advisement. Strand has rejected previous defense motions to dismiss other counts. S ym ington has plead ed in n o cen t to the in d ietm en t, w hich ch arg es him w ith g iving fa lse in fo rm atio n to len d ers about his fin an c ial condition, ex aggerating his financial health w hen seekin g new loans and u n d e rsta tin g it when try in g to re n eg o tiate o u tstan d in g loans for b e tte r d eals. He is also accu sed of attem pted extortion against one of his lenders. His trial is set to begin May 13. The governor’s attorneys attacked the count that said Symington in 1990 know­ ingly made false statem ents to Valley National Bank of Arizona in an effort to turn a $600.000 personal line of credit into a short-term loan. • Symington had promised but failed to tell the bank about “m aterial adverse changes to his financial condition.’’ D efen se a tto rn e y T eren ce Lynam argued that Symington’s failure to dis­ close the changes was an “omission” or a “breach of promise” — actions that are not criminal. “In everyday life we don’t disclose everything,” Lynam said. A ssistan t U .S. A tto rn ey D avid Schindler said the bank needed that omit­ ted information, which Symington had p ro m ised to p ro v id e, to m ake an informed decision whether to give the loan. “In hiding his dealings with Valley N ational Bank, Mr. Sym ington made false statem ents and om itted m aterial facts,” Schindler said. The other challenged count accuses Symington of lying during an October 1995 hearing in his Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. During that hearing, Symington was asked a series of questions by attorneys representing creditors about his 1989 per­ sonal financial statem ent. The federal government says Symington lied about the extent of his financial health and the value of his equity in the Van Burén Industrial Center. A nother Sym ington attorney. Luis M ejia, said the g o v ern o r ca n n o t.b e accused of perjury because the questions were ambiguous. “He is subject to per­ jury for questions and answers that are imprecise,” Mejia said. Prosecutors said Sym ington under­ stood the questions.

Mayors of Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa and Phoenix spoke about the future of mass transit alternatives, desert growth and the level of water available for Valley cities. Mesa mayor Wayne Brown said cutting pollution and providing mass transit alternatives to driving are the most important issues facing the cities. “The freeway system is a catch-22 situation,” Brown said. “More freeways bring more drivers and more pollution.” Scottsdale mayor Sam Campana said other Valley cities will be following Tempe’s lead of passing a tax to fund transit. Phoenix mayor Skip Rimsza said Phoenix will vote on a ballot proposal on transit in September. “It’s a painful process,” Rimsza said. The four mayors answered audience questions during the four hour forum. Tempe mayor Neil Giuliano moderat­ ed the first half of the forum. All four agreed that the water Supply is in good shape. “Residential areas take less water than farm land,” Brown said. ■ ' ^( Campana and Brown said one of the biggest issues for their cities is growth. “Growth is good if it’s controlled,” Brown said.

Tribe seeks help w ith m ountains o f tires COOL1DGE (AP) — The Gila River Indian Community is looking to the state or Maricopa County for helping in removing 26 small mountains of tires. So far both the state and the county say it’s not really their problem. ■ ; County Supervisors Mary Rose Wilcox and Fulton Brock, whose districts include parts of the reservation, met with Gila River Gov. Miary Thomas and Lt. Gov. Cecil Antone on Monday and gave themselves a one-week dead­ line to agree on a solution to present tq the Legislature, The piles of 2 million shredded tires have stood on a portion of the community’s Blackwater Industrial Park just off Highway 87 north of Coolidge since the remnants were abandoned by a recycling company two years ago. Each pile is 155 feét long, 55 feet wide and 35 feet high Repeo Waste Recovery of Arizona, Inc., a California-based company, rented five acres from the tribe to store tires under a recycling contract with the county, Though the county paid Repco $1 million in state and other funds, the promised recy­ cling plant never was built and the company went bankrupt. Now, since the county recently recovered $330,000 from Repco’s bonding company, the tribe says it should get some of the money to helppay for removing the tires, “The issue here is who is financially responsible,” said Candice Bell, program manager of solid waste for tribe’s D epartm ent of Environm ental Quality. “Thé county received the state funds to recycle the tires, so we believe they have a responsibility in the financial burden to have them removed.”. David Smith, Maricopa County administrator, largely disagreed. “We have zero legal responsibility, but some moral obli­ gation in this m atter," Smith said. “The B lackw ater Industrial Park had an independent contract that had no relationship With the county contract. The reservation took a business risk and they are responsible for it. But it is in the public interest for us to help solve the problems because it’s an environmental one.” If the tires caught fire, they would create a toxic cloud of thick, black smoke that would linger over the area for at least three months, Bell said. She estimated it would cost between $1.5 million and $2 million to remove them to a landfill and possibly more to recycle them. The tribe has asked the legislature to amend a bill that would extend the state’s recycling tax from its Dec. 31 expiration date until 2002. The amendment would set aside a percentage of the revenue for cleaning up old tires such as the ones around Coolidge. Miten Pà à se n ...N okia ? That’s Finnish for ‘How do I get to...NOKIA?"

S tate P ress Wednesday, February 26,1997 Page 9 Background checks helped stop 186,000 illegal gun sales B y M ichael J . S niffen A ssociated P ress WASHINGTON — Police background checks since 1994 Have blocked more than 186,000 illegal over-the-counter gun sales 72 percent by would-be buyers who were convicted or indicted for a felony, the Justice Department estimated Tuesday. The Bureau of Justice Statistics estimated that 6,600 appli­ cations to buy handguns or long guns are rejected each month not only in the 32 states covered by die federal Brady Act but also in those states having their own similar laws authorizing background checks of gun-buyers. The figures cover the 28 months from Feb. 28,1994, when the Brady Act took effect, through last June. By far the largest reason for blocking gun sales was the discovery that the buyer had been convicted or indicted for a felony, which occurred in 72 percent of the cases. Fugitives accounted for 6 percent of the rejections; those barred by some state law provision, 4 percent; those under court restraining orders, 2 percent; mental patients, 1 percent Some 15 percent were rejected for other reasons, including that they were drag addicts, juveniles, illegal aliens or viola­ tors of local ordinances. The overall rate of applicants rejected was 2.6 percent in a sampling of handgun applications during the first six months of 1996. Out of 1.3 million handgun applications during that period, 34,000 were rejected, ‘Today’s Justice Department study provides dramatic new evidence of the importance of the Brady law’s background checks in stopping criminals from obtaining a firearm,” said Sarah Brady, chair of Handgun Control Inc. The law was named after her husband, James Brady, the former White House press secretary who was seriously wounded by a gun­ man who also shot President Ronald Reagan. “The numbers released today probably understate the real impact and importance of background checks,” she s^tj. “It’s not just the criminals who walk into a gun store and are stopped from purchasing a gun; it’s all those criminals who are deterred from even walking into a gun store in the first place.” The Brady Act requires that gun dealers \yait five days before selling a handgun and ask local police to do a back­ ground check on the buyer during that time. Another federal law prohibits the sale of any firearm to anyone convicted or indicted for a felony, fugitives, illegal drug users, illegal aliens, mental patients, dishonorably discharged soldiers, and those convicted of domestic violence or under court restrain­ ing order for stalking or harassing an intimate partner. The report noted that not all states check for mental dis­ ability, restraining orders or drug abuse. As of last June, 14 states reported presale investigations included checking out­ standing restraining orders; 11 states looked into mental health records. The Brady law provides that the waiting period will be eliminated when a national computerized instant criminal background check system administered by the FBI is estab­ lished by November 1998.

H arpaz A ssociated P ress NEW YORK — A handw ritten note carried by a Palestinian gunman to the Empire State Building suggests he decided more than a year ago that his “bitter enemies” must be “annihilated and exterminated.” The note found on the body of Ali Hassan Abu Kama! was released Tuesday, two days after he killed one sightseer and wounded six others before fatally shooting himself on the 86th floor observation deck of the landmark skyscraper. The scene of the bloodbath reopened to droves of tourists Tuesday who had to go through newly installed metal detectors. “We live in New York. You can’t stay afraid,” said teacher Hannah Schneewind who waited with her second-grade class to take in the city panorama on a clear, crisp day. The gunman’s rambling diatribe was laden with political réferences and titled “Charter of Honour.” The note said those listed were “my bitter enemies and they must be anni­ hilated and exterminated.” It blamed Zionists — backed by Americans, Britons and Frenchmen — for “turning our people, the Palestinians, homeless.” “My restless aspiration is to murder as many of them as possible, and I Have decided to strike at their own den in New York, and at the very Empire State Building in particu­ lar,” said the note, which Was signed by the 69-year-old Abu Kamal, who worked as an English teacher in Gaza City. He listed Jan. 1, 1996, as the note’s “original date of meditation.” Police said they still believe Abu Kamal was a deranged -killer who acted alone. Abu Kamal’s family said he was distraught over somehow losing $300,000, but police ques­ tioned whether there ever was any money. “There is no information that this alleged scam exists,” Police Commissioner Howard Safir said. “There are no bank accounts that we’re aware of, nothing in his personal effects, no safe deposit boxes.” Abu Kama!, who arrived in the U nited States on Christmas Eve, paid only with cash while dividing time between New York and Florida. However, “We would in no way characterize it as high-rolling,” Safir said. The document also lists as enemies “a gang of rogues who attacked me” — an apparent reference to a severe beating by vigilante militants in his homeland in Gaza — as well as an Egyptian police officer and a group of stu­ dents he claimed beat his son. No mention was made, of financial troubles. The note shows Abu Kamal was a “man who had many, many enemies in his mind,” Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said. The shooting didn’t deter tourists Tuesday. Several hun­ dred sightseers waited up to 40 minutes to buy tickets, go through the airport-style metal detectors and take the eleva­ tor up to the 86th floor. Kim Broen, a 21-year-old Danish traveler, said he didn’t like the long wait to go through the metal detectors, “but if this is the only way to stop this from happening, it’s OK.” Judy and Larry Wilkinson of Valdosta, Ga., said they had arrived at the building Sunday 20 minutes after the shooting. Mrs. Wilkinson said she was determined to return Tuesday. “1 was a little apprehensive, but I really feel like it was an isolated incident. And it is a marvelous view,” she said. FBI finds hunted U-Haul truck co n tain ed b ak in g pow der B y L inda L eaveix A ssociated P ress DALLAS — The FBI dropped a nation­ wide terrorist-threat advisory after a UHaul truck suspected of carrying the mak­ ings of a huge bomb turned out to be loaded with baking powder. •, ; The advisory was posted after witnesses said two men had loaded the truck with 30 gallons of diesel fuel and blue containers of what appeared to be thousands of pounds of fertilizer, Together, they could, make a bomb similar to the one that killed 168 peo­ ple at the Oklahoma City federal building. The blue containers turned out to be car­ rying “baking powder for use as an antisep­ tic in scrubbing floors and tiles,” a federal law enforcement official in Washington said Tuesday on condition of anonymity. The FBI advisory had noted that Friday is the fourth anniversary of thè raid on the Branch Davidian Compound near Waco in which six cult members and four agents of the Bureau o f A lcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were killed. The advisory was canceled Monday night after the truck and its two occupants were located in Atlanta. “The FBI and ATF now believe ... that there is no substance to the fears that two men driving a U-Haul truck were accumu­ lating materials to build a bomb,” the FBI said Tuesday. The two men live in the area of Haltom City, outside Fort Worth, said Les Martz, ATF agent in charge of the Dallas division. The witness had told police the men loaded the diesel into containers in the back of the truck at a Texaco station in Haltom City on Saturday. Agents found the two men by canvass­ ing U-Haul rental outlets and places throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area where fertilizer is sold. The men “were sur­ prised and they were cooperative,” FBI spokeswoman Marjorie Poche said. The FBI said, “Recent tragedies result­ ing from crim inal terro rist acts have required a heightened awareness and vigi­ lance.” Associated Press W riter M ichael Sniffen contributed to this story from Washington.

An anonymous tip led police to arrest Ella L. Townsend on Monday night. An autopsy showed a mixture of cocaine and heroin killed her daughter, Teanna Neeley, and police charged Townsend with child abuse for failing to get medi­ cal help for the girl. Teanna Neeley had told a probation officer three weeks before her death that her mother was supplying her with drugs, according to records released by Child Protective Services. The girl died Jan. 20 at her mother’s home, a few Weeks after she tested positive for cocaine.: Family members reported at the time having found her lifeless with blood trickling from her nose. The CPS file also told of failed intervention and treat­ ment attempts for Teanna, who ran away from foster par­ ents to return to her mother. Townsend was being held in the Pima County jail oh a charge of child abuse alleging she failed to obtain medical aid for the girl, which would be a felony. Conviction on that charge could draw a sentence of five to 20 years in prison. Detective Lt. Richard Middleton said Townsend eventu­ ally could face a first-degree murder charge under the state’s felony murder law that allows the charge in death Photographer accused of secretly taping women in dressing room B y M ichelle F.mery A ssociated P ress DOVER, N.H. — A photographer who took bridal portraits and portfolios for aspiring models is accused of secret­ ly videotaping his subjects in a basement dressing room where a sign warned: “Attention Models!!! Please! No undergarments. Why? Because panty­ hose, panties and bras cause unsightly lines and bulges which are, unaccept­ able for glamorous or model shows.” By Tuesday, about 20 women con­ tacted police With fears they might have been victims of 71-year-old Lawrence Ring, who is accused of making the tapes for two decades and distributing some of the pictures over the Internet. “They realize now they may have been tap ed ,” said Sgt. A nthony Colarusso. “They’re very upset because they don’t feel they did anything wrong —- and they didn’t.” Police accused the photographer of going much further than voyeurism with some of his subjects -— including having sex on camera with a 15-year:old girl whose call to police last week led to Ring’s arrest. Police Chief William Fenniman said Ring paid women $15 an hour for mod­ eling, $30 an hour for body painting and $150 an hour for acting in porno­ graphic movies. After searching Ring’s house for about 12 hours on Saturday, police charged him with sexual assault and said more charges are expected. Some 400 hours of videotape and thousands o f photo negatives were seized, some going back so far that officers recognized some of their own high school classmates. One woman called from Italy about pictures taken years ago. Police Sought to allay women’s fears that nude photos of them might become public. “We can assure victims we have very tight security,” Colarusso said. “Our main concern is the victims.” Cases that arise from Child abuse. Detectives can show that the Teanna’s mother knew the girl was having medical problems from cocaine and heroin use but “she did absolutely nothing to aid Teanna because she was high on heroin herself,“ Middleton said.

ASU finished behind Tulsa, which stroked rounds of 312, 315 and 307 for a total of 934. Niemann (76-78-80) recorded her second top-10 finish of the year. Five Sun Devils have finished in the top 10 at five tournaments this season. Junior Kellee Booth said having such consistency and depth on the team is reminiscent of the Sun Devils’ 1995 team which won the National Championship. “It’s wonderful to be on a team that always has one or two players who finish at the top,” Booth said, “and three, four or five who shot well also. It reminds me of my fresh­ man year.” Head coach Linda Vollstedt said the windy conditions were unusual for the team. “It was a tough day today in the wind, but we did finish second,” she Said. “I was proud of the t£am. They really hung in there. We don’t usually play in such bad conditions” Three other Sun Devils, Booth and sophomores Keri Comelms and Tui Selvaratnanm, all finished in the top 20 Booth (80-76-83) and Cornelius (84-79-76) both finished at 239 and tied for 13th. Selvaratnam tied for 18th and shot rounds of 80, 80 and 81 for a final score of 241. Junior Jean-Marie Busuttil (79-88-77—244) was 27th, and freshman Michaela Friberg (81-79-86—246), who was competing as and individual, tied for 34th.

Student-athletes honored at Maroon and Gold luncheon By J osh D eFam io State P ress Skeptics who believe the term ‘stu­ d e n t-a th le te ’ to be an oxym oron now have 206 things to think about. That is the number of ASU’s student athletes, 45 percent of the 454 student athletes at the University, that were hon­ ored Tuesday at the sixth annual Maroon and Gold Scholar Athlete Luncheon. It marked the first time ASU had ever honored as many as 200 student athletes at one luncheon. The 206 honorees also represented a 13 percent increase over the previous luncheon. “It should be noted that every college is represented,” ASU Athletic Director Kevin W hite said. “And every team is Represented. T hat is som ething to be proud of.” White spoke first, then handed the floor to Joe C ald w ell. Caldwell, who played basketball for the Sun Devils in the I960’s and re c e n tly re e n ­ tered the U niversity to co m p lete his d eg ree, was one o f the athletes honored. RoQUE University President Lattie Coor handed out several team and individual honors. The women’s tennis team achieved the highest team GPA, while the women’s swimming and diving teams earned the highest GPA among “large” teams (20 or more members). E ight ath letes, Ed C arter (ten n is), Mary Duerbeck (track and field), Mark E rn ste r (b a se b a ll), Alyson Miller (swim­ m ing), A nna M oll (te n n is), Jared Schrieber (track and field), Stephen Trejo (football), and Lisa V incijanovic (gym ­ nastics), were award­ ed fo r ea rn in g 4.0 GPA’s in either the : JOHNSON fa ll or sp rin g semester of the past year. Following C oor’s presentation, two of ASU’s most prominent athletes rose to speak a few words about the off-thefield responsibilities carried by every student-athlete. S e n io r A ly ssa Jo h n so n , who has played both basketball and softball dur­ ing her Stint at ASU, read from a poem entitled “To Any Athlete”. “(It shows) how important it is to set a good example not only on the field,” she said. “But on it as well.” A ll-A m erican fo o tb all p lay er Juan R oque th en step p ed up and ech o ed Johnson’s sentim ents as a high-profile Student-athlete, “I think its our responsibility to be ro le m o d els,” R oque sa id d u rin g his speech. “Because some little kid is out there watching (us).” Following the speeches, Coor returned to the podium to close out the event. “(These luncheons) .are no less impor­ tant because the media and television lights aren’t here,” Coor said, referring to the lack of media present. “But in fact, these are more important (than the games).” S t a t e P ress Wednesday, February 26,1997 Page 16 Bonds falls down stairs By Ro b G loster Associated P ress SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Barry Bonds managed to avoid the piano and the ceram­ ic animals, but ended up with a sore hip after tripping and falling down a flight of stairs in his rented spring training home Tuesday morning. “I just slipped down the steps. I just fell and hit the marble floor,” Bonds said before heading to the hospital for an MRI on his fight hip. “1 hit the floor with my hip and went straight down,” The San Francisco Giants said late Tuesday afternoon that results of the MRI were incon­ clusive, and that doctors planned to continue studying the results in hopes of having a more definitive diagnosis by Wednesday morning. Bonds, who skipped the Giants’ practice Tuesday while a chiropractor worked on him, said X-rays taken Tuesday morning on his hip and back showed no damage. “The chiropractor helped out a lot. I feel 100 percent better, man. I got adjusted. I was all jammed up,” he said. “I’m fine. I’m real fine.” But Bonds, who said he tumbled down 7-8 carpeted steps, still was experiencing some soreness even after the chiropractic session. “It just seems like something’s pinching a nerve in my hip every time I lean forward,” he said. Bonds said he was going downstairs in his rented Scottsdale house to get some vitamins before practice when he tripped and started tumbling. He said he was relieved that he kept himself from falling into a piano, antiques and ceramic animals at the bottom of the stairs. “I can see the news: ‘Bonds wrecks peo­ ple’s homes.' That’s all I need now,” he said with a laugh. “I was trying not to fall into the damn piano.” Manager Dusty Baker said he just hoped the MRI would show nothing serious. “I’m concerned, but concern’s not going to do any good,” Baker said. “If it is serious, this is the best time for this to happen. He has a high tolerance for pain and he heals quickly.” Scott Troyanoa/Associated Pros« San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds takes batting practice during, his first day of spring training at the club’s facility in Scottsdale last Friday.

A ll hoops fans w ill give W N B A , M ercury fair chance B ÇrcuCuating until a J im A rts ‘What Içind t f joB opportunities are fin d out at tfie : NE ARTS ALUM NI N E W Y _ A R F F R H  becoming successful: Tara VanDerveer. VanDervcer, head coach of the women’s basketball team at Stanford, led the U.S. team in Atlanta and already is a legend in women’s hoop. She is the women’s college bas­ ketball equivalent of Chicago Bulls coach Phil Jackson, minus the beard and the Zen philosophy. I hope it never happens and ASU women’s basketball coach Charli Turner Thome may wish it would, but some­ where down the line VanDerveer may decide to leave the confines of Stanford’s Maples Pavilion, may decide that a gold medal is not enough, and head for the pros. Consider the implications if North Carolina head coach Dean Smith decided to leave the Tarheels and take over the Charlotte Hornets. Now imagine if VanDerveer did the same and took over an WNBA franchise in the Bay Area. ‘ Seriously, I would guess that legitimate sports such as basketball, professional beach volleyball and gymnastics all would rank in the top five for men’s favorite female-domi­ nated sports. Granted, the-WNBA may not get the attention that the NBA, Major League Baseball or NFL does, but to lump the Mercury in the same category as the Rattlers, the Cobras and the Arizona Sandsharks indoor soccer team is a gross injustice. Give credit where credit is due. Although baseball should and will be successful in Phoenix, it’s about time a legitimate effort was made to showcase women’s hoop. Granted, the WNBA may not acchieve the same success as the Coyotes have in their first season, but give it a chance. A fter the success o f the U.S. wom en’s basketball team in Atlanta, the NBA is riding the popularity of women’s hoop at just the right time. Heck, if an upstart league like Major League Soccer can thrive among pro sports’ traditional big four of the NFL, the NBA, the NHL and M ajor L eague B aseb all, then why c a n ’t women’s hoops do the same? Percy Ednalino, Jr. can be reached at percy23 @asu. edu Miller, a guard with the Indiana Pacers. Cheryl Miller also served as a color commentator for TNT Sports. In addition, she is the only th ree-tim e w inner o f the Naismith Award, college basketball’s equivalent to foot­ ball’s Heisman Trophy and led the U,.S- to a gold medal in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. To say that Cheryl M iller is an unrecognizable name for knowledgeable sports fans is absurd. It goes without saying that sports fans in Phoenix love their Suns. And they know their NBA players. Therefore, its safe to say that Phoenix sports fans know who Reggie Miller is and know who Cheryl Miller is. , Should I continue? How about the claim in Monday’s paper that w om en’s mud w restling and the Playboy Olympics would rank in the top five for men’s favorite female-dominated sports? Get serious. You had to have been living in a cave not to have seen the dramatic vault Olympian Kerri Strug completed in the Atlanta Olympics last summer. Strug’s one-footed landing put an exclamation on the gold medal for the U.S. women’s team gymnastics competition. Locally, gymnastics is hot right now because of our own Sun Devil team. ASU is ranked No. 5 in the nation. And with gymnasts such as Carie Courtney and Meagan Wright pacing the team, it isn’t hard to see why gymnas­ tics is hot. And if you were in that cave, you probably didn’t bother to watch any of “Dream Team Too”, the U.S. women’s bas­ ketball team, as it cruised its way to a gold medal. Half of that team is currently playing in the women’s American Basketball League, the WNBA’s chief rival, while the other half should make its way to the WNBA. It would be no surprise to me if both leagues merged in the near future, just as the ABA and the NBA did in 1976. The level of talent is deep in women’s hoop, there just isn’t a proper showcase for it. Two words in defense of professional women’s hoop First things first. I am not a flag-bearing advocate of all ercy w om en's sports. FO X 's siz­ EDNALINOJR. zling coverage of figure skat­ Sports ing gets no airplay on my TV. Women’s professional golf — well, golf in general — gets the same non-response. The same goes for women’s body build­ ing. D o n 't get me wrong, they're all legitimate sports. Women’s hoop, however, is som ething I’ll w atch. And being a California native and a die-hard fan of Karch Kiraly. pro beach volleyball featuring either gender gets my attention. But when I saw M onday’s paper and read David Ruffalo's editorial. I just had to respond. To compare the new WNBA franchise to minor sports franchises like the Arizona Rattlers and the now-defunct Phoenix Cobras is like comparing Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan to Vinny Del Negro of the San Antonio Spurs, then asking NBA fans to vote on the more popu­ lar player. . • The WNBA should stick around for a while, especially since it has the backing of the NBA. It also has a rich pool of untapped talent and marquee names waiting to fill its rosters. Finally, it indeed has popularity among sports fans, both female and male. The question was asked by Ruffalo in Monday’s State P ress as to how m any sports fans could nam e the Mercury’s head coach and it’s newly signed players. While the names of the players (Michele Timms and Jennifer Gillom) may not be familiar to all but the ardent women’s basketball fan, head coach Cheryl Miller’s'name is very familiar even to the casual hoop fan. She is, after all, the older sister of NBA star Reggie V Paradise J£zza Ä FINEART5 COLLEGE COUNCL LUNCHEON 12" m e d iu m t o p p in g p iz z a spicy w in 2 5 & zó § n< 9 0 I$ ^ • « J p lä s oil (W ien: Thursday, February 27th, 12:00pm - 3:00ptn W h e re : fo iso n fin e A rts Center South (Patio not Go o d w / ANY o t Hct^ o u Po n o R ^ E C a L ^ 1599 C omm unication A ssistants Flexible D ay Hours Fax Resum es d r Q u estio ns to : 60 2 -2 6 7 -7 4 0 0 .
