P ress ;Starting -Friday, Tempe policé will stop issuing warnings and Start mailing out citations to speeders and red light run­ ners snagged by automatic cameras. 1,220 motorists speeding through the streets and red lights of Tempe have been caught since the cameras began operating March 18. Photo radar cameras, located in mobile vans on the sides of streets,; take pictures of speeders going more than 11 mph above the speed limit. Violators will receive citations^ ini the mail — along with a demand for $108. "We are only asking people to cooperate with the exist­ ing laws.” said Sgt. Wil Price, Tempe photo radar program manager. -; The two major intersections equipped with red light cameras arc Broadway Road and Rural Road and Southern Avenue and McClintock Drive. “ The McClintock intersection is a hot spot. We have had 118 Violations in one hour and 15 minutes,” Price said. "The highest speed clocked was 85 mph." Price said having the cameras is easier on the officers because it allows them to handle problems other than traffic. ‘‘Technology allows us to identify and cite these viola­ tors. On a street like McClintock with a high number of violations, we couldn’t have possibly Caught that many people with one, or two, or even 12 officers,” Price said “This makes more officers available and that benefits the community,” he added. Price said the police are still working on adjusting the quality of photographs that are taken by the cameras. Citations for red light violators will begin to be sent on Friday if the quality of the images gets better, he said. The penalty for red light camera violations is also $108. Repeat offenders pay the same amount. An option for some violators is to take a driving course that lessens the punishment. Other cities have also recently instituted the use of photo r^ a rc a m e r^ . > The city of Scottsdale has issued more than 9,000 tickets since they launched use of the cameras in January, said Pat Dunn, Scottsdale deputy court administrator. Scottsdale has three red light cameras, which also mea­ sure speed.. Their red light tickets are $98, but speeding tickets range from $122 to $200. “The general response has been positive. We have had a few grum blers, but overall we have seen measurable changes in traffic patterns.” Dunn said. “Drivers have been more cautious.” City of Glendale officials debated using photo radar two weeks ago, but the City Council decided that other mea­ sures would be taken to combat traffic problems, said Glendale traffic engineer Jim Book. T urn to Rapar , page Jim P o ulin/S tate Press Donald Johanson, the paleoanthropologist who discovered the 3,4 million year-old human skeletal remains known as Lucy, spoke to students and faculty members Wednesday outside the Anthropology Building. Johanson told spectators that the Institute of Human Origin will move to ASU’s main campus In July. ASU to host famed institute By D eanna D ark S ta te P ress The world renowned Institute of Human Origins announced Wednesday it will join ASU this summer. The institute supports the research of some of the world’s preeminent paleoanthropologists — scientists who study early humans. The institute includes Donald Johanson, the researcher who discovered one of the old­ est and most complete skeletons of a human ancestor, nicknamed Lucy. ASU approached the institute after learning the Berkeley, Calif.-based group was not affiliated with a university. ASU President Lattie Coor said the University has long been proud of its top-ranked archaeology program, but the opportunity to bring the institute to campus was irresistible. “Bringing the premier program in anthropology would be the crown jewel,” he said. • Scientists involved with the institute will begin teach- ing both graduate and undergraduate classes in the fall. Coor said he is happy students will have access to these scholars. Students will also have the opportunity to take part in hands-on research in many of the group’s projects. Officially, the institute will move to ASU on July 1. It will be housed temporarily on the first floor of the Social Sciences building. The institute will not only bring its vast storehouse of knowledge, but also a collection of artifacts that include the famous Lucy, a 3.4 million-year-old skele­ ton discovered in Ethiopia in 1974. Bill Kimbel, science director for the institution, said he is anxious to get back into teaching. “We are looking forward to including students in our work as we move forward with our research in paleoan­ thropology,” he said. Jeff Meyer, board chairman for the institute, said ASU has made the institute feel welcome. T urn to Lucy, page 2. 2. Record numbers cast votes in ASASU election B y L id ia E. K elly State P ress ASU students cast a record 3,518 votes during the Associated Students of ASU gen­ eral elections two weeks ago, but it was not enough to fulfill the 5,000 vote ASASU goal. "I am disappointed that we did not reach the goal,” said ASASU President Marc Baumgartner. “But at the same time, I am happy we were able to set a voting record.” Keith Menard, campus affairs vice presi­ dent, said the 5,000 voter target would have exceeded the previous record of 3,104 votes set in 1993. But he said the current results are satisfactory. “We have had a good year,” Menard said. “People usually vote when they are either unhappy or frustrated. This year we got a very solid year-without any impeachment or scandals — and we still set a record.” According to ASASU election data, 55 per­ cent of voters were male and most did not live in dorms or belong to Greek organizations. “The num ber of G reeks voting in ASASU elections has plummeted from 36.7 percent in 1992 to 19.9 percent in 1997,” Menard said. Baumgartner, member of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, said fraternity and sorority member turnout are meaningless numbers. “The other thing could be that they (Greeks) did not have a strong reason to vote in this year’s elections,” Baumgartner said. “There was not anything directly pointed in the candidates’ platforms that would be of a great concern to them.” He said students’ awareness of what ASASU has to offer should be bolstered on every level, and fraternities should be a part of that program. At the same time, the number of students living in residence halls who voted has risen from 18.85 percent in 1992 to 32.4 percent this year, Menard said. “We are very excited,” said Thomas Studdert, director of the Residence Hall Association. “We did a really good job in creating a high voting awareness among the halls residents.” Studdert said Residential Life and RHA fully supported ASASU in this year's elections. . “We had an open forum for all of the ASASU candidates during one of our RHA meetings,” he said. “We also informed all the candidates w hat they could do in regards to their campaigning in the halls.” Studdert said the active role RHA played empowered students to understand they could make a difference in the election and direction of ASASU. The general election results also showed 7.5 percent of students learned about the election most effectively through fliers and posters. The record number of voters in a runoff was 3,470, set in 1993, Menard said. The results of this weeks’ runoffs and the new ASASU president will be announced Friday at 5:05 p.m. on Hayden Lawn.

Another idea is to increase public aware­ ness by letting people know where the high accident points are and why they need to drive the speed limit.

Johanson said the decision gives the institute an “outstanding opportunity to m ove to one o f the n atio n ’s forem ost Research I Universities.” Johanson will be teaching one class in the fall as well as continuing his research. He added that he is excited to teach future anthropologists. “The human species belongs here just like any other species, .but it’s our job to understand the responsibilities of being here,” he said. He said the institute works with an annu­ al budget of $1 million funded by private donations as well as grants from the N ational G eographic S ociety and the National Science Foundation. Barbara Stark, chair of the School of Anthropology, said bringing the institute to ASU is the biggest single step the school has ever taken. “It will give us a great boost by moving us into a research area we haven’t been active in before,” she said.

RJR Nabisco and Philip Morris are in early talks with the attorneys general of eight states in hopes of winning blanket protection from lawsuits over smokingrelated health problems, it was disclosed Wednesday. In return, the cigarette com panies would pay hundreds of billions of dollars and agree to cut back cm ads, especially ones like Joe Camel that appeal to chil­ dren and those that depict people, such as the Marlboro Man. The cigarette companies’ willingness to even consider such concessions marks a startling turnaround. For decades, the tobacco industry has fought a no-retreat battle on all limits. In the past few- years, however, the industry has been barraged with lawsuits filed by 22 states and countless individu­ als, and the litigation is hurting stock prices and taking management attention aw ay from the business o f selling cigarettes. “1 think the tobacco industry is in big trouble and they know it, so they are finally beginning to come to the table,” Minnesota Attorney General Hubert H. Humphrey HI said. “I think their proposals still fall short of what we’d be interested in.” A sticking point is whether the Food ami Drug Administration would get the right to regulate the nicotine levels in cigarettes to make them less addictive. The tobacco com panies adam antly oppose such regulation for fear that once the FDA gets the power to regulate tobac­ co, k will try to ban i t News o f the talks, first reported Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal, sent cigarette company stocks up 10 per­ cent, reflecting investor hopes that an indus­ try wide settlement o f tobacco lawsuits would lift a cloud hanging over companies. Industry analysts have said that tobacco companies, which had revenue of about $45 billion last year, coaid finance a big settlem ent simply by raising cigarette prices. “A resolution of this issue is important to our shareholders, our customers and our country,” RJR Nabisco Chairman Steven Goldstone told a stockholder meeting Wednesday in Winston-Salera, N.C. “But rt has to be fan and it has to be reasonable.” The am ount o f a settlem ent is also among the sticking points. “The industry is in die low 2’s and the plaintiffs are in the upper 3‘s. There is no consensus on the money,” said a source close to the negotiations, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Also under discussion is- the establish­ ment of a fund from which smokers could seek payments. They would be banned from suing the cigarette companies. Protection from lawsuits would require an act of Congress, and that’s another one of the unresolved issues that could still «S* © m sink the talks. “It’s extraordinarily unlikely that any. agreement could escape contentious con­ gressional hearings," the source said.

Although scandals in Israel are not in fre q u en t, the recom m endation police handed to state attorney Edna N e t a n y a h u Arbel on Wednesday was the harshest ever against an Israeli government. Arbel was expected to announce by early next week w hether to in d ict Netanyahu. Police recommendations are not binding or always fol­ lowed. Yet this one has the potential to break apart Netanyahu’s coalition — more brittle than ever since the allegations surfaced in January. An indictment would ruin chances of bringing the oppo­ sition Labor Party into the government, a plan Netanyahu has been contemplating as a way of rescuing the disinte­ grating Middle East peace process. The scandal started with Netanyahu’s appointment of a political crony as attorney general. Jerusalem lawyer Roni Bar-On resigned after only a day in office Under criticism that he was a legal lightweight chosen for his political connections. Days later, Israel TV claimed the appointment was part of a conspiracy by senior officials who expected Bar-On to end the corruption trial of Aryeh Deri, leader of the reli­ gious Shas Party. Deri, in turn, would ensure the two Shas Cabinet ministers gave Netanyahu the necessary backing for the Israeli troop pullback from most of the West Bank town of Hebron. Netanyahu denied the allegations and called the inquiry. After 12 weeks and the questioning of 60 witnesses, includ­ ing Netanyahu, investigators on Tuesday handed the state attorney their 995-page report. Police did not make their findings public Tuesday, and news media initially reported that investigators recom­ mended charges against Deri, top Netanyahu aide Avigdor Lieberman and Justice Minister Tsahi Hanegbi. Deri reportedly would be charged with blackmail, Lieberman with breach of trust for his role in relaying Deri’s threats to Netanyahu, and Hanegbi with breach of trust for misleading the Cabinet about Bar-On’s qualifications. On Wednesday, however, both Israeli TV stations reported that police had recommended charging Netanyahu himself with fraud and breach of trust. Officials confirmed the reports. “Against the prime minister there is enough evidence to submit an indictment,” Police Commissioner Assaf Hefetz told Israel TV, after the leaks caused an uproar. Opposition leaders on Wednesday called on Netanyahu to suspend himself, but radio reports said Netanyahu had no plans to step down, even temporarily. Form er death row inm ate released in 1982 cop killing By J o a n T ho m pso n A s s o c ia t e d P ress HOUSTON — A Mexican man who once came within three days of being exe­ cuted in the death of a police officer was freed today after 15 years in prison. Courts had ordered a new trial and barred key tes­ timony because of official misconduct. Ricardo Aldape Guerra, 35, immediate­ ly began preparing to return to Mexico, where his case had stirred wide interest, lie became tN ifil when t o learned prose­ cutors tissed the charge T uesday instead o f going ahead with the retrial, said his attorney, Scott Atlas. “He said after 15 yews, he wasn’t real­ ly sure how to feel, that be was adifferent man than when be entered the jail 15 years ago.” Atlas said. He has maintained an acquaintance, Roberto Carrasco Flores, shot and killed officer James Harris and a bystander when the patrolman tried to question them in July 1982. Carrasco Flores was killed hours later in a shootout with police. In 1992, Aldape Guerra came within three days of dying by injection before winning a reprieve. Two years later, he was taken off of death row when a federal judge said he didn’t get a fair trial and deserved a new one. An appeals court upheld the judge's decision and sent fire onwi back to fire state court. F o llo w in g a b ea rin g e a rlie r th is y e a r, Judge Frank Maloney on Monday refused to allow much of the witness testimony and statements in a retrial, saying they were taint­ ed by police and prosecutors’ misconduct. Witnesses were intimidated, threatened or allowed to see .Aldape Guerra, in hand­ cuff's. before a police lineup, Maloney said. “It kind of hurts When the judge says you can’t use six of the witnesses who .said he did it,” said District Attorney John B. Holmes, adding that he did not believe prosecutors could successfully appeal Maloney’s ruling. Aldape Guerra’s court hearings were routinely attended by M exico's consul general, who also arranged for the legal help that led to his release. His story has prom pted ballads in Spanish ab out a young man wrongly accused of a crime. Mexico does not have capital punishment. Aldape Guerra, who was 20 at the time, was arrested shortly after H arris was killed, hiding behind a trailer. A fter Carrasco Flores died in a shootout, the gun used to kill Harris was found next to him and the officer’s revolver was in his pants. A uthorities had m aintained Aldape Guerra switched guns with Carrasco Flores after fire officer was shot. The defendant’s supporters insisted he was the victim of angry police out for revenge and public sentiment against illegal immigrants. Harris’ widow, Pamela, said she didn't mind that Aldape Guerra would not be retried. “I’m glad it’s over,” she said Tuesday. “It's not tough to accept.

STATE PRESS s TAFF Aftermath of Oklahoma bombing continues two years later with trial The anniversary is approaching. ichelle This year, it will come and CARSON go w ithout m uch bu t b rie f photo shots o f a courtroom in Columnist Denver, The trial has begun. Legal analysts who just finished boring us to tears talking about O.J. nowhave yet another trial to dissect. This year, instead of watching pictures of the building and the babies on television, we will be inundated with pictures of Timothy McVeigh and a whole cast of characters in Denver. We will all hope that this man, accused of the most hor­ rific act of domestic terrorism in our country’s history, will be justifiably punished. But the worst may not be over. McVeigh could be acquitted. His lawyers may be blessed with a moronic jury. They may twist and defame the evidence presented by the prosecution. They may bring up arguments stating their client has been framed. They may just win. It’s been proven quite recently that what may prove guilt in real life may prove nothing in a courtroom. We are obsessed with our own twisted legal system. We were hooked to every tidbit about the Simpson trial. For two years, the network news actually did five minute seg­ ments on the case. Now, we have little JonBenet to specu­ late about. For awhile, we scorned Richard Jewel from our living rooms. The Oklahoma City bombing and the events it has caused are different. We all, as Americans, have a direct stake in the outcome of this trial. I was bom in Oklahoma City. I have been there and stood at that fence. If you have been there, you know the heavy and desperate sense of helplessness that can over­ M whelm a person at that place. The bombing shattered a sense of everything that Americans hold dear: our families, our jobs, our govern­ ment. In one momentary blast, we lost more than just the, 168 precious lives inside the building — we lost a sense of ourselves. Our Constitution allows men like Timothy McVeigh the right to despise and protest our form of government. It allows dissent to be publicly proclaimed against our leaders and their policies. It actually aims to protect us from an overbearing federal system. It allows men like Timothy McVeigh to be bom and bred to believe that violence is a means necessary for achieving radical agendas. McVeigh’s lawyers will argue that he is no different from any of the other thousands of wackos who belong to militias or anti-government organizations. There is nothing illegal about that. They will argue that he was not solely responsible for the plan or execution of the tragedy that took place on April 19, 1995. If that ju ry does n o t steel its spine, w e m ay have an o th er guilty m an playing g o lf w hen he should be in jail. We may put more children in danger. I think back to that day, rushing home to call my father to see if he was hurt (he works about six miles from the scene). All the images that run through my head are of those babies. Standing at that fence downtown, that is all I could think about. 1 I said to my father, “I sure hope that guy doesn't get off.” My father looked at me with a reassuring face. “He will never escape the reaches of a shotgun held by an angry Oklahoman, Michelle.” While I oppose the death penalty, 1 hope that the jury does its job this year. Next April 19, if Timothy McVeigh isn’t able to walk on the earth he took 168 lives from, I can’t say I’ll feel anything but relief. Michelle Carson is a sophomore studying journalism.

T h at’s the m andate o f a fam ily-values judge trying to do his part to reduce the rate of divorce. District Court Judge James S h erid an has jo in e d o th er local public officials and cler­ gy in a social pact aim ed at h elp in g p eo p le u n d ersta n d marital issues before they take the plunge. It’s a glori­ ous idea, given the numbers — 68 out of every 100 mar­ riages end in divorce — but unlikely to w ithstand inevitable court challenges. What right, after all, does government have, insisting that consenting adults get marriage counseling? Those favoring the idea, including leaders in at least nine other states (Arizona, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, M in n eso ta, M ississip p i, M isso u ri, O regon a n d W ashington), argue that government has a legitimate interest in marriage — given that divorcé wreaks havoc on society’s systems and institutions. After all, we require would-be drivers to demonstrate driving skills and pass a test before they get behind the wheel of a potential killing machine. It’s not too much of a stretch to say that bad marriages can be potentially devastating to a wide circle of victims, from the chil­ dren of divorce to the public institutions that often pick up the pieces of fallen families. Options under consideration range from Sheridan’s mandated counseling to lower license fees for those who attend counseling or marriage courses. S keptics have raised some good questions: Who would provide the counseling? Who would pay for it? What about those who can’t afford to pay? Can govern­ ment intervene in personal matters to such an extent? And, finally, in those instances where clergy provide the counseling, are we flirting with constitutional conflicts of church and state? Conceptually, premarital counseling is a swell idea; but realistically, it won’t work. The probability is that prem arital counseling would benefit only those who seek it voluntarily. As for the rest, the process would be a waste of time and money. Most people who decide to get married, ipso facto, aren’t thinking straight. A few perfunctory counseling sessions aren’t going to sudden­ ly bring them to their senses. What might work better than bureaucrats wagging a finger in our adult faces is to create a high school course on marriage and family and require that every student pass it in order to graduate. What young people need to learn as soon as possible is that marriage isn’t about sex and rom ance. V eterans of m arriage know this with unusual clarity, but most of us entered the institution with distorted perceptions and expectations. Marriage is above all a contract, a commitment to create a home together and to provide for children bom of that union. Students could discuss the real issues of marriage and try to answer the tough questions: How should children be raised and disciplined? How should money be spent and saved? How should household chores be divided? Who takes car pool? Who gets up in the middle of the night to feed the baby? Who gets to use the bathroom first? Who buys the groceries and cooks the meals? Yikes. Who wants to get married? Exactly. Students also could talk about divorce, most of them from first-hand experience. They know already how divorce feels, but they haven’t begun to realize the farreaching and forever consequences of broken families. Which parents and stepparents attend graduations and weddings? How do you deal with the former spouse, who, incidentally, never goes away? Sheridan and others have the right idea. Education is our best hope for curing what ails ust, but earlier is bet­ ter. Once the little lovebirds have stars in their eyes and visions o f bridesmaids’ dresses in their heads, it’s too late. Trying to counsel two hormonally-deranged young people about marriage after they’ve exchanged engage­ ment rings is like trying to teach a dog to sit after you’ve already given him the bone. Meanwhile, we have the perfect vehicle in place for teaching kids about marriage —- the vaunted sex educa­ tion course. While we’re teaching our little ones how to use birth control and avoid AIDS, we could teach them how to pick a suitable marriage partner. I realize this sort of thinking treads dangerously close to family values-speak by seeming to promote — gad — heterosexual marriage. We wouldn’t want to give the impression we’re pushing traditional values on young m inds. M aybe we could update the cu rricu lu m by including some contemporary incentives, say, free con­ doms for extra credit?

Reaching this goal would have almost doubled the previous record of 3,104 voters in a general election. Unfortunately, I must report that although you set a record of 3,518 voters, we at AS ASU did not reach our goal of 5,(XX) votes. I would, however, like to thank everyone who let their voice be heard, as well as the volunteers who worked hard to make elections happen. Little Caesar’s Pizza and Safeway deserve thanks for helping us with the ftee pizza and Pepsi. As we go into the runoff election, 1 thought it Would be good to share some trends with you. The record number of voters in a runoff election is 3,470 voters. The number of Greeks voting in ASASU elections has plummeted from 36.7 percent in 1992 to 19.9 percent of the total votes in 1997. The number of students living in the halls has risen from 18.85 percent in 1992 to 32.4 percent of the total votes in 1997. • Traditionally, 55 percent of the total vote is cast by males, and the other 45 percent is cast by females. The number of seniors voting was down from 27.3 percent in 1993 to 21.5 percent in 1997. The number of juniors, sophomores, freshmen and graduate students are all up between 1 percent to 3.5 percent. When you vote, you vote for people who work to keep tuition low, run the Safety Escort Service, fix your bike, put on events like Homecoming and Maidi Gras, send graduate stu­ dents to conferences, appropriate funds to campus clubs and organizations, bring bands and speakers to campus, and spend your $16.66 that you contribute to ASASU every year. 1 must say, ASASU has reached almost all of our goals this year. We at ASASU would like to take this chance to thank all of you for the opportunity to represent you. Keith M.

They released a letter signed by 226 Republican and Democratic House members, comprising more than half of the House, urging Clinton not to expand trucking access for Mexican haulers. “Until Mexico does a better job of policing its trucks before they cross the border, and until we do a better job of verifying safety, the current restrictions must remain in place,” said Rep. James Oberstar of Minnesota, ranking Democrat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee..“No American should ever have to wonder whether the truck in front of them is safe.” The critics contend highway safety would be jeopar­ dized if U.S. roads are opened to Mexican trucks that fre­ quently are older and heavier than their American counter­ parts — and far likelier to fail safety inspections. The lawmakers were joined by union leaders, trucking industry officials and highway safety advocates critical of the trucking provisions included in the North American Free Trade Agreement. In late 1995, citing safety concerns, the Clinton adminis­ tration blocked implementation of the NAFTA provision allowing Mexican haulers into the interior of California, Arizona. New Mexico and Texas. Mexico protested the action, calling it a violation of NAFTA. Since then, both countries have been engaged in talks to end the dispute. The main sticking point has been a U.S. demand that Mexico step up inspections before trucks enter the United States.

When the casket was opened, she found the body of a stranger in her husband’s suit Ethyln Boese now is suing the owners of Restlawn Funeral Home in Salem for $500,000 for negligence and emotional distress. “It was very traumatic for Mrs. Boese and her family,” said her attorney, Frank V. Langfitt III. The funeral took place last July 25, one day after James Boese died, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday. There was no wake. Afterward, Mrs. Boese, 71, asked that the casket be opened. The funeral director at first refused to concede that the body inside was not that of James Boese, but later acknowl­ edged the mistake, according to the suit. The couple’s son was able to find another set of clothes and the funeral was held later that day, the suit said. MIAMI — They didn’t have any cake for Ada Rosa Obando’s birthday, but there was plenty of ice cream. Leonardo Colon was speeding toward the hospital in his ice cream truck, hoping to get there before his wife, Maria Obando, delivered their baby. He didn’t quite make it. Colon enlisted the help of Metro-Dade police Officer Joe Llinas, who had stopped a motorist for an expired tag. “He tells me, ‘You gotta help me, you gotta help me, my wife’s going to have a baby,”’ Llinas said. The officer grabbed some plastic gloves and got to the mother just in time. “By the time I put my gloves on, the baby just came right out,” Llinas said. Five-pound, 11 -ounce Ada Rosa was bom Sunday. The driver Llinas stopped got off without a citation. GREENFIELD, Mo. — Folks here can wander aimless­ ly after midnight and resume ganging up, too, as long as they’ve got a good reason. City leaders, facing about 30 angry residents and the threat of a federal lawsuit, voted Tuesday to rescind a pair of 5-month-old ordinances aimed at preserving late-night peace in this southwest Missouri’s town of 1,416. “Inevitably unconstitutional and illegal,” Mayor Joseph Marlow had called the ordinances in urging their repeal. One of the laws said people could not “idly loiter or aimlessly wander about the streets ... between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m.” The other ordinance made it illegal for three or more peo­ ple to “gang up late at night without good reason or excuse.” The rules w ere adopted last N ovem ber to deter overnight vandalism. Marlow said streetlights were being shot out and people were “hanging around and tearing things up.” The problems died down after the ordinances were passed, but some residents complained to the American Civil Liberties Union.

The woman, testifying at the court-mar­ tial of Staff Sgt. Delmar Simpson, said she did not report him out of “pride and embar­ rassment.” The trial is the first to emerge from an Army sex scandal at Aberdeen that prompt­ ed a militarywide investigation of sejcual misconduct. Of the 12 Aberdeen soldiers charged with criminal sexual misconduct, Simpson, 32, is accused of the most serious offenses. He is charged with raping six women under his command. The Army sp ecialist who testified Wednesday was a trainee at the time of the alleged rapes, which she said took place between September and December 1995 in Simpson’s office, empty barracks rooms and his off-base apartment. “I felt like 1 was a puppet and I had strings attached to me in a marionette way telling me what I should do,” she said. She said the most disturbing attack was when Simpson ordered her to his office after morning formation, took off her uni­ form and raped her. v “I felt even worse than any of the other times because I was in my uniform,” she said. “That was something to me and he was stripping me of it.” As the only woman in her training class at Aberdeen, she lived in a different bar­ racks from her Bravo Company colleagues, Her room was in the same building where Simpson’s office was located. The attacks began in her first weeks at the base, as she searched for a lamp in a storage room, she said. Simpson cornered her in the room and locked the door, she said. He then pulled off her shorts as she struggled with both hands to keep them on, she said. He pushed her onto a bed, held her hands above her head with one hand while he opened a con­ dom with his free hand and teeth, and raped her, she said. “How did it feel?” prosecutor Capt. Theresa Gallagher asked. The soldier paused for half a minute. “It hurt,” she said. On other occasions, Simpson would order her to his office and rape her on his bed in an adjoining room, on blankets on the floor or on a chair, she testified. Later, he brought her to his apartment twice for sex and she stayed overnight, she said. She did not report any of the incidents because she did not want other soldiers to think badly of her. She perceived Simpson a s ' w ell-lik ed by o th er trainees and sergeants: “Like he was flawless.” Simpson is charged with 58 crimes in all. He could get life in prison for a single rape conviction. \ Cornerstone Center • 725 Rural Road * 9 6 6 -5 5 6 0 Other Locations:; Metro Center, Paradise Valley Mall, Chris-Town Mall, Westridge Mall, Superstition Springs, Arrowhead Town Center The bargains are in the back State Press Classifieds Hurry! 30% offer ënds 4 /2 0 /9 7 Discounts off original prices, M.S.R.R, comparative prices à r prices sold elsewhere.

A topless Elizabeth Hurley, actress-model girlfriend of Hugh Grant, was splashed across two pages of Paris-Match magazine Wednesday, a “mysterious unknown” applying suntan lotion to her backside. The magazine said it photographed Hurley on April 10 as she lay by the pool of her Beverly Hills home. The two photos were taken from a distance, In one photo, Hurley is clad in the briefest of bikini bottoms. The man applying lotion, his face hidden by sunglasses, is unidentified. Hiirley is standing topless in the other photo. “Liz Flaunts Her Revenge,” read the headline. ' In 1995, Grant was caught in a car with a prostitute in Los Angeles. The actor pleaded no contest to lewd conduct and was fined and placed on two years’ probation. ______ TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) — Pat Boone isn’t exactly repentant about the heavy-metal getup that got him in trouble with his Christian listeners. Boone said Tuesday on the cable TV show Praise the Lord that he doesn’t regret wearing leather pants and a dog collar at the American Music Awards back in January. But he added;,. “To whatever extent somebody was wounded in their feelings ... I am very sorry.” The show is carried on Trinity Broadcasting, the same religious network that dumped Boone’s weekly Gospel America after hundreds of viewers called to complain about his bare chest and rocker duds. Hundreds more viewers have spoken out in support of Boone, and Trinity is reconsidering. The squeaky-clean Crooner said his new look was supposed to be funny and intended to promote his new album of covers of heavy-metal music. _ “I don’t apologize for the music. I don t apologize for making the appearance on the show, but for whatever negative fallout there might have been, I regret that, Boone said. “I’ve eaten some crow, and it’s delicious.” 'y-.: .

(AP) — Dr. Jack Kevorkian and an ally who is terminally ill with cancer will stand trial together on assisted suicide charges in the death of a woman with multiple sclerosis, a judge said Wednesday. The decision was a defeat for prosecutor Raymond Voet, who believes jurors might feel sympathy for the retired pathologist’s dying assistant, Janet Good, and that it could lead to an acquittal. She has pancreat­ ic cancer. Good, 73, and K evorkian, 68, are charged with helping Loretta Peabody com­ mit suicide on Aug. 30. Ms. Peabody, 54, suffered from multiple sclerosis, but Voet believes she died from a heart-stopping injection of potassium chlo­ ride. The Ionia County woman’s body was cremated without an autopsy. Authorities later seized a videotape on which she discussed suicide with Kevorkian, who has acknowledged taking part in 45 suicides since 1990. Good is not seen on the tape but her voice is heard, Voet said. A defense law yer had asked Judge Charles Miel to merge the cases into one trial June 10 in Ionia, 30 miles east o f Grand Rapids. Kevorkian’s trial will be his first legal test outside the Detroit area, where he has been acquitted in three trials covering five deaths, School district bans pencils, pens on buses after poking The first SO people te see Gwen in the advsrtisinj department of the State Press in the south basement Matthews Center today will receive a cemplimentery admit 2 pass to see this great movie on Wednesday, April 23 at 7:30pm at Harkins Centerpeint.

(AP) — A school district banned the use of pencils on buses after a student drove a sharpened pencil 6 inches into another student’s buttocks. Pencils and pens now must be carried in book bags or purses in the Corry Area School D istrict in northw estern P ennsylvania, tran sp o rtatio n director Richard Farver said Wednesday. Some students complained they won’t be able to do their homework on buses. A third-grader was holding a pencil upright on a bus seat Jan. 29 and intended to poke the other student as a joke, Farver said, The injured sixth-grader needed four hours of surgery. The pencil brushed his colon and nearly hit his rectum, officials said. ' The third-grader, who was suspended for five days and received counseling, was “fooling around” and did not realize how much damage the pencil would do, Farver said.

S ev eral b a sk e tb a ll c ritic s th o u g h t ASU senior Rodger Farrington’s hoops career was over when he broke his left index finger on February 27 in the third to last game of the Sun Devils’ season. This week, however, the 6-foot-7 forward is out to prove his doubters wrong. Farrington, along with fellow ASU senior Quincy Brew er, is currently showing o ff his skills for NBA scouts and executives at this year’s Nike Desert Classic.

Following the four-point, two-rebound and two-steal performance by Farrington Wednesday night. New Jersey Nets representative Dave Babcock said this season’s Pac-lO leader in blocks has pro potential. “Right now he’s a free agent,” Babcock said. “But if he does well , he could move up into the second round.” Bob Kloppenburg, personnel coordinator for the Denver Nuggets, agreed. “ H e ’s a good shot b lo c k e r d e f in ite ly ,” Kloppenburg said. “I think he has some athletic ability, but he’s going to have to work. I think that he’s in the classification where, as we say, ‘He’s going to have to do it the hard way ‘ — going to camp and playing well. Playing a year in Europe or the CBA because he’s not ready right now. He does have some athleticism, and (he’s) a great shot blocker. That’s a great plus for him.” Farrington, who finished with 113 swats dur­ ing the 1996-97 cam paign, w asn’t concerned about how his first performance at the Classic effected his possible placement in draft. “ I ’m n o t w o rried ab o u t th a t (th e NBA draft),” Farrington said. “I’m just trying to play as hard as I can possibly play. I think that I did all right (tonight) from a defensive standpoint, Everybody played a hard game. It was a time to adjust to this caliber of playing. I just hope I can have a good game tomorrow. ” Farrington’s play, though, did the catch the eye of former NBA player Ed Nealy. Nealy is also the assistant coach for Farrington’s team, one of four, at the Classic. “He can take the ball to the hole real well and m ake som e good m oves down th ere (in the paint),” Nealy said. “He impressed me on that. H e’s active. He has a lot o f enthusiasm . He loves to play the game and just goes- hard. He does have the potential.“ T urn to C lassic, page 20. P ag e 18 Thursday, April 17,1997 State P ress Offensive seniors get ready for NFL careers B y J o s h D e F a m io S tate P ress Every college senior dreads the first job interview. For , several high-profile ASU seniors, those interviews have been an ongoing process since early September. This weekend, after months of waiting, some of those players will finally discover the identity of their future employers. For the ASU, fans and coaches, those seniors can help bring draft prominence to a school that has been relatively quiet over the last few years. "Whenever your name is mentioned nationally — every­ body follows the draft, all the recruits — that’s the only reason you need to look, is recruiting,” head coach Bruce Snyder said. “1 think all that really helps recruiting." ASU's Pac-10 leading offense should produce as many as four seniors who can make an impact in this year’s draft. The Sun Devils* offensive senior picks are expected to begin with the man who led the team all season. J ake P lum m er At the beginning of the 1996 football season.

More than likely, Plummer will be the first Sun Devil while going for the ball. 1 "From everything 1’ve heard from the people that I talk Poole rates as the 12th best receiver prospect in Pro drafted in 1997. to. he’s in the top three QBs in the country,” said Percy Football Weekly, and Thomas lists him as the most under­ K e it h P o o l e Allen, a sports writer for the Seattle Times. “1 think Poole's status rose quickly after several terrific catches rated receiver in the draft.

Sun D evil underclassm en prepare for big tim e B y E d O deven S ta te P ress State Press EH# Photo Tarry Battle powers over the top in ASU’s Pac-10 clinching victory over Cal on Nov. 9, Battle ia one of two ASU juniors who declared themselves eligible for this weekend’s NFL Draft. ASU football junkies grew accustomed to watching the stellar play of juniors Derrick Rodgers and Terry Battle last season. Now fans will get the opportunity to watch these two players in the National Football League. At least that's the plan. Rodgers, a 25-year-old defensive end who led the Sun Devil with 12 sacks last season, has decided to skip his final season of college ball to begin his pro career. Battle, an electrifying running back who amassed 1,200 yards rushing, 20 rushing touch­ downs and two kickoff returns for TDs, has also declared him self eligible for the NFL Draft. -i ^ Both Sun Devils will find out their fate this weekend. The first three rounds of the draft will be held Saturday. The final four rounds will be held Sunday. Sun Devil head coach Bruce Snyder didn’t make predictions about where the Devil duo will go. “I don’t know where they are going to get drafted or when,” he said. “They don’t either. I told them ‘D on’t get hung up on all that because that's all ego. Just get to a club and play like crazy.’” M ister R odgers Rodgers agreed with Snyder’s advice. “This Saturday doesn’t really make the big decision as far as where my life is now,” the Air Force veteran said. “When I put my uni­ form back on, that’s when I get a chance to make an impact. That’s when I get to see if this is where I need to be.” Despite Rodger’s decision to leave a year early, Snyder believes he is ready to make the big jump. “There’s no question about Derrick Rodgers agd what he’ll bring (to the NFL),” Snyder said. “It’s an all out mature attitude about foot­ ball. He is so focused. I read in the paper the other day that he said, ‘I don’t care where I get drafted. What’s important is the day I show up for practice.' He has it all right.” Pro Football Weekly projects Rodgers as the No. 91 rated player in the draft, regardless of position. He is expected to play outside linebacker in the NFL, which suits him fine. “Don’t get me wrong, I’ve played linebacker before,” the Cordova, Tenn. native said, refer­ ring to his playing days at Riverside (Calif.) Community College. “It’s not that big of an adjustment for me. But it’s going to be differ­ ent. It’s definitely going to be a challenge. I think every game is going to be like that.” Seattle Times sports writer Percy Allen felt Rodgers should have returned for his senior season. “I thought he was one of those guys who would’ve been well served to have stayed an extra year,” Allen said during a phone inter­ view Saturday. D on’t expect R odgers to listen to the naysayers just yet. “(Speed) is one of my fortes,” he said. “It’s kind of hard to prove to the scouts (and NFL brass) that this is the person they are looking for. I think basically their job is to come out and make this is a person they can draft more than this is a person that they want to draft.” T ouchdown T erry Pro Football Weekly lists Battle as the 13th-ranked running back in this year’s draft. He has been timed in the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds, considered modest speed for a tail­ back- Most draft guides pick Battle to be cho­ sen in the fifth round. However, Battle could surprise some people, Snyder said. “Terry is a very gifted athlete,” he said. “He’s fast. He can catch. He’s got great vision. He’s what I call a touchdown runner.” Snyder likes Battle’s breakaway speed. ‘Terry zooms and brings the ball in the end T u r n to U n d e r c l a s s m e n , p a g e 20. P a g e _ l9 Thursday, April 17,1997 S t a t e P ress Sw im m ers cross ocean to com pete Bv E » O deven S tate P ress Four Sun Devil swimmers have a good reason to be in Goteborg, Sweden. They are competing in the World Short Course Championships, which starts today. The four-day meet will draw an estimated 300 world-class swim. mers. Freshm an Pablo Abel of A rgentina, freshm an . AlhaAda C legg o f South A frica, sen io r F elipe D elgado o f E cuador and sophom ore F rancisco Sanchez of Venezuela are representing ASU. Sanchez has had the most international success among the Sun Devil quartet. He set a world record (21.80 seconds) in the 50-yard freestyle at the 1995 World Championships. He was also a finalist in the 50 and 10 0 -m eter freesty le events in the 1996 Olympics. ASU m en’s swimming coach Ernie Maglischo doesn't expect the world championships to receive as much hype as the worldwide frenzy that took place in Atlanta last summer. “I don’t know what to expect really,” he said. “The W orld Short Course event is not as big an event as the Olympics.” M aglischo still hopes his three swimmers will fare well. “I think that all three people are capable of plac­ ing,” he said. “I would hope Francisco and Felipe would get into the championships rounds. Pablo has improved immensely. We’ll just have to wait and see how it goes.” ' Maglischo also feels Abel, Delgado and Sanchez worked hard for this prestigious event. “They are taking this very seriously,” he said. R ookie racer Clegg, a I7-ycar-old. is the youngest member of the ASU women’s swim team. She will also be one of the youngest participants at the world champi­ onships. “This is the first time I’ve gotten my official South African colors,” she said. “I’m excited.” Clegg was a member o f South A frica’s junior national team last season. She will compete in her first senior competition this week. She is scheduled to swim in the 200-yard individual medley, 400 indi­ vidual medley and 100 butterfly. Since the NCAA Championships in March, Clegg has “gone back into very hard training,” she said. “This is my third taper within two months. We are just trying out to see if this is going to work.” She said the trip to Sweden will be valuable. “It’s pretty much for the experience,” she said. “Hopefully 1’II make consolations or finals. Looking at it realistically it’s basically experience. If I can do a (personal) best time it would be great.” ASU women’s swim coach Tim Hill said Clegg has had to make adjustments in her pre-meet prepa­ rations. “The thing for her is she rested in February,” he said. “She tried to peak at the end of February and early March. So instead of keeping her peaked. What we’ve done is gone back to work so that she can really start move up to the next level.” e-mail to the editor ponyboy@asu.edu Trio________ _ COMTINUGD FROM PACE 1 ? . events of a usual borne meet.

When asked who they thought could walk away with the win, the Sun Devils also hinted that the meet was up in the air. “Everyone,” Courtney said. Junior Megan Wright said ASU knows the task is tall, buy is not impossible. “1 think we have a really good chance (to advance to the Super Six), but it is going to be difficult,” she said. “We are going to have to really do well (today).

Well, w e’re going to give you a chance to prove it. The State Press sports section is holding a contest concerning the NFL Draft. Winners w ill receive a number o f prizes, ranging from an autographed “Perfect Season" TShirt to a mug commemorating the magical season. A il you have to do is list your to p 10 picks, in order, and drop them o ff at the State Press d r e-mail them to rudsten@im apl.asu.edu. For a tie b re a k e r, include the to p three teams, in order, you feel are in te re ste d in Rose Bowl stars Jake “The Snake” Plummer, Juan Roque, and Keith Poole. either Saturday or Sunday. Anybody who is smart enough to draft me, I’ll play for them.” Poole is projected as a third to fifth-round pick. J uan R oque There are two ways you can look at Roque’s draft status. One is that he is in a free full from most draft boards, going from a sure top-15 pick at offensive tackle to a potential sec­ ond-day pick at offensive guard. The other theory is that the 68,325 pound Roque could turn out to be the steal of the draft. Snyder believes in the latter. “He’ll be fine.” Snyder said. “He’s a bright young guy. He’s overcome a lot of obstacles already. The main thing for Juan, and he knows it. is that it begins on the first day of practice. He’ll make a team and he’ll play for 15 years. He’s going to be terrific in that league because he’s got such great work ethic, and h e’s so tough, and so smart.” While some, such as Allen, still believe Roque is a potential first-rounder, others, including Thomas, feel he has fallen_all the way to the fifth or sixth. No team has emerged as a front-runner in the bid for Roque.

Bumstein, who said he played offensive tackle “in Pop Warner” is hoping to simply catch on with an NFL team. “It would kind of be nice to stay around here,” he said, “but if one (team) likes me and gives me a chance, that’s where I need to go, because I need the chance to prové myself; It’s pretty much wide open.” Bumstehi mentioned that many teams have spoken with his agent but only the Dallas Cowboys have contacted him directly. He is seen as a late pick (fifth to seventh round pick) or a free agent signee.

What you want to do is go to the NFL when you had your best year. He thought that was his best year and that was the best chance he had to score that many touchdowns. The deci­ sion was right for him at the time and he did it. We wish the best for him.” x ' ig j ASU SUN DEVIL SOFTBALL TEAM OFFICIAL RULES 1 .

I think he’ll go relatively high this year.” If Battle had stayed for his senior season, Snyder pre­ dicted “he might have been the top running back taken” in the 1998 draft. Dave Te Thomas, who provides scouting information to 27 NFL teams, called Battle “an enigma,” referring to Battle’s super second half of the 1996 season and his sub­ sequent subpar performances at the scouting combines.
