Plum m er charged with four counts sexual abuse Form er ASU football player Jake Plum m er was charged with four counts of sexual abuses and one count of assault as a result of an alleged incident at Club Rio in March, Four girls accused Plummer o f grabbing th a n white on the dance floor and later of kicking one of the girls. , While Plummer readied an out-of-court settlement w ith three o f the g irls involved, M aricopa C ounty Attorney Richard Romley made official chaiges against Plummer on May 28. Plummer’s initial court appearance is scheduled for June 10. Job growth continues ¡statewide Good news for Arizonans, the state is in the middle of the largest job boom in history. According to the April 1997 Bank One Arizona Blue Chip Economic Forecast, employment in Arizona grew by 5.6 percent in 19% and jobs grew by 6.1 percent. Most o f the growth was found in the Phoenix-Mesa Metropolitan Area, accounting for 84 percent o f the growth. Statewide growth varied, with non-metropolitan coun­ ties continuing to do well. Growth in Tucson though was slower than expected. At 1.8 percent, fee employment growth rate in Tucson lagged behind the national average o f 2 percent. ill ASU ties record with Fulbright winners Five ASU students won Fulbright grants in 1997, tying fee ASU record.

If found guilty, Paulk could be sentenced to a possible $2,500 fine, a maximum of six months in jail and/or three years probation. Paulk alleg ed ly en tered a bathroom M ay 15 at the Empire nightclub in Phoenix and cut in front o f everyone who was waiting in line to use the urinal, according to the police report. After club patron Steven Knotts confronted him, Paulk allegedly pushed Knotts to the floor and continued to strike him on or about the face with closed fists. The police report stated that Paulk had “a large class ring on his right hand,” and the abrasions and bruises on Knotts face included “a deep laceration” under his right eye. After the case was reviewed by the M aricopa County Attorney’s office, which handles felonies, it was sent back to the Phoenix city attorney’s office. “We reviewed the case and decided it was a m isde­ meanor,” said Bill FitzGerald, public information officer for the County Attorney’s office. In order to be classified as an aggravated assault — a felony — a person must cause serious physical injuries to another or involve the use of a deadly weapon, FitzGerald said. “We decided the guy was not seriously injured. He refused medical treatment,” he said. FitzGerald also said Paulk’s class ring could have been considered a potential weapon, but the attorney’s office decided “it was not a weapon, it just happened to be on his finger.” As an ASU football player, Paulk may be subject to other problems over the alleged incident. There are disciplinary actions for athletes who get in trou­ ble with the law, said Doug Tammaro, assistant director for media relations. “If found guilty, he could be suspended for one game or one year. I don’t know,” he said. “We Won’t do anything until the judicial process runs its course.” Tammaro said he doesn’t think this one incident will hurt the recruiting or reputation o f the team, but he knows “nothing like this helps. “There are 450 student athletes. You’re going to have some bad apples along with the good ones,” he Said. Evolution not the only theory regents w ant taught By Kara S hire S tate P ress ASU is preparing a report outlining the num ber o f courses the school offers that examine alternative theories o f m an’s ori­ gins to comply with an Arizona Board o f Regents stipulation. The report is due to be com pleted in August. In April, ABOR approved moving the noted In stitu te o f H um an O rigins from California to ASU with the condition that an equal com m itm ent is given to course offerings and research in alternate theories. “Evolution has not been conclusively proven,” Regent Kurt Davis said. “Like any other science there are numerous debates and people should be given access to make up their own minds.” C onfusion over the exact m eaning o f w e’re going to have a class on evolution­ ary theory, part o f the class should be a stu d y o f a lte rn a tiv e th e o rie s.

Basha added that he w asn’t aware o f “I ’m ju st concerned we don’t ever say 'O K . this is the p re v a ilin g th e o ry , so any progress made by ASU to fulfill the everything else goes aw ay,” ’ he said. “ If condition. “alternative theories of evolution” may make it difficult to determ ine exactly how to fulfill ABOR’s mandate, offi­ cials said. “I don’t think (Davis) stip u la te d th a t th e re w ill be any ch an ce,” said A SU P ro v o st M ilto n G lic k . “ H e ’s asked for information, satisfied at the end, I ASU officials are probably hesitant to move forward because no one is sure how to bridge the gap between evolutionary the­ ory and creationism, Basha said. Davis said there are num erous alterna­ tive theories to evolution, citing the cre­ a tio n -e v o lu tio n and H indu th e o rie s as examples. He said he is simply looking to . provide a place to challenge existing the­ ories. “T he U niversity is the one place we should always be vigilant about protecting debate,” he said. “I want evolution taught in college. It is an acceptable theory within the realm o f scientific theory . “ There’s no hidden agenda here and I’m not trying to trash evolution research or stu d y ,” D avis added. “The In stitu te o f Human Origins is great for ASU and it’s great for Arizona.” W IT H T H IS A D E x p ir e s • • • • G re a t G re a t C le a n C lo s e 6 -2 1 -9 7 B ed s S p e c ia ls & F r ie n d ly t o A SU ON UNIVERSITY Just 2 Blocks East of Rural 1301E, University Call (Next to Powerhouse Gym) 829-1737 J 'Where A S U goes fo r p iz z a WE DELIVER TANK UP TUESDAY * 2 .8 0 P IT C H E R S eo o z.

The decision by top network executives to give her the job, however, is incredibly stupid. That is unless one takes the cynical view that all the network executives care about is short-term profits. Molinari certainly seems to have the bubbly personality that is pretty much a prerequisite for today’ s female news readers. She is also a well known Republican, which ought to ease management fears that millions o f potential viewers are tuning out because of all the “lefties” on television. She might be able to provide a little lobbying help for the net­ works, which is always appreciated. All this is music to the ears of shareholders. As for Molinari, she is getting the chance to gain more national visibility than she could hope for in the House. As a network celebrity, she will be free to take popular stands on issues and spout off without having to worry about the constraints o f working within a collaborative body tike Congress. There is no danger o f tripping over complex campaign finance laws or having to make a party line vote that would come back to haunt her in future races. In addi­ tion, her immediate political future was not as bright and cloudless as many have said. The New York political environment is as competitive and ruthless as any. Molinari is not well liked by some “hard right” members of her party (after all, she is neither barefoot nor pregnant), and she could have faced a vicious primary assault in upcoming elections. Her intra-party ene­ mies have noted that she is representing one congressional district while her husband represents another. W hat does this say about fam ily values? And more importantly, bow would she and her husband answer sub­ poenas regarding their respective residency status? Legal or not, her unusual living arrangem ents (and the fight o v e r th e m ) w o u ld b e n o th in g b u t tro u b le fo r th e Republican party. By temporarily sidestepping into journalism, she may be S avoiding a nasty fight and saving the Republican party from charges that it mistreats its top women. The networks think they are going to see improved ratings, and hence more money. A “win-win” situation if ever there was one, cor­ rect? M aybe if you are a netw ork ex ecu tiv e o r Susan Molinari. For the rest o f us, however, it is decidedly less favorable. At a time when the networks are under fire for having political biases, going out and recruiting right off the Hill makes about as much sense as Caesar’s wife hiring a hand­ som e m ale, liv e -in m assag e th e ra p ist. The fa c t th a t Molinari is a Republican insider might conceivably get her better access to her form er political associates. But her refusal to rule out a re-entry into politics makes one suspect that she will do her best to stay popular with both the public and her party , even at the expense of journalistic integrity . Even; worse, her hiring signals once and for all that a background in journalism is considered irrelevant by the major media. Journalism and broadcasting students might want to stop and consider that celebrity status — rather than education and experience —- seems to be the increas­ ingly driving factor in deciding who gets the important jobs. The old myth about doing well in school and working your way up seems pretty laughable. P ro fe sso rs preach that journalists shouldn’t make their personal views public, yet it seems to be the most vocal and opinionated types who are getting ahead. You might spend hours in speech classes to polish a smooth speaking voice, but as long as someone is famous, the inability to articulate seems to be no barrier to a news job. On the other hand, if you spend years gaining expert sta­ tus on a subject, you are likely to find that a slightly insuffi­ cient Q-rating far outweighs your education. Print journalists now have their photos placed at the top o f their stories. The day when a news story or opinion col­ umn was supposed to stand (or fall) on its own merits is long past. Now you ale supposed to “identify” with the per­ son whose photo appears at the top of the column.

Admittedly, legalizing prostitution is not a panacea, but it is a step in the right direction. It would have to be comple­ mented with rehabilitation and educational outreach programs for those who want to quit the world’s oldest profession. Good Christians and radical feminists will join in righ­ teous indignation over this proposal. But I fail to see how the traditional policy o f re victimizing prostitutes — many o f them former victims o f child or drug abuse — can be reconciled with Christian ethics. The time has come to face reality and apply some common sense. We must under­ stand that we all have differing moral standards and pet peeves. We are free to make choices that do not infringe upon someone else’s vital interests. For decriminalization of prostitution, state and county legislatures would have to pass new legislation changing existing blue laws — som ething not likely to happen. Instead, enforcing public morality will be left in the hands o f the likes of Sheriff Joe. Matthias Walterscheidt is. a junior studying journalism. Anthropology professors wary o f mixing beliefs with theories We read with much interest (and some co n fu sio n ) the State P ress a rtic le on April 28 reporting on the Arizona Board of Regents' decision to approve the move o f the Institute of Human Origins (IHO) to ASU. The source of our confusion was comments by regent Kurt Davis and his stipulation that ASU provide an equal commitment to research and course offer-' ings on “alternative theories o f human origins and ev o lu tio n .” He expressed concerns that “we will expend tax dollars to continue research and create debate from only one perspective.” If Davis’ comments were reported cor­ rectly. then we can say he has nothing to fear. The anthropology departm ent, with which 1HO will be closely associated, has an excellent track record on fairly repre­ senting alternative theories in its courses and research (a theory being a scientific explanation for phenomena that has been sufficiently tested and supported by sci­ entific evidence). In spite of the prestige o f Johanson and IHO, we will continue to present die alternative models proposed by such researchers as Richard Leakey and Tim White — even though they dis­ agree with Johanson. Several years ago, we held a series of public lectures on modem human origins, in which the strongly differing views of such notables as Christopher Stringer and M ilford W olpoff were discussed, along with those of our own internationally rec­ ognized faculty such as Christy Turner and G.A. Clark. W ith our long-term com m itm ent to e x cellen ce in scien tific research and teaching, we w elcom e the addition o f IHO members to ASU’s scientific com ­ m unity. H ow ever, th is should not be taken to mean that we will only teach IHO’s interpretation of our origins. Unfortunately, D avis’ remarks could lead to some confusion. Some may think that he was referring to devoting research and classroom effort to alternative beliefs about human origins. We are well aware o f the wide variety o f beliefs about our­ selves and our place in nature that exist among the world’s myriad of societies. We regularly offer classes in compara­ tive religions, shamanism, and belief sys­ tems, for example. O f course, we would not confuse these with scientific theories about human origins. We should not forget that many peo­ ple in the world believe the earth is a disk supported on the backs of four elephants standing on the back of a giant tortoise. This would have to be taught along with plate tectonics in our geology classes as an alternative explanation for earthquakes and other geological phenomena. Following this line of reasoning, our nursing curricula should include cours­ es in the h e a lin g p o w er o f c ry sta ls. C ertainly classes in the transm utation o f lead into gold, offered by the chem­ istry departm ent, would be especially a ttractiv e to our fin an cially strapped student body. O f course, such an interpretation of Davis’ remarks would make ASU open to ridicule, not to mention legal action. This would be especially unfortunate given the u n iv ersity ’s recent and very laudable a c h ie v e m en t o f th e m uch c o v e te d ‘R esearch One” status. D avis’ sugges­ tions also would be next to impossible to implement in a fair and equitable manner. Thank goodness Davis must have been referring to the first interpretation dis­ cussed here and not the second. There could be no other reason why the remain­ ing ABOR members voted to approve his stipulation. Michael Barton Leanne Nash K A . Spielmann Margaret C. Nelson G A . Clark Ben A. Nelson Department of Anthropology * Dorm s offer more than drugs, alcohol I am writing in response to your May 1 article about “Drugs, booze, vandals ...” in the residence halls. I have been a Resident Assistant (RA) in Manzanita Hall for two years and was recently elected Director of the Residence Hall Association (RHA). I would like to begin by saying, yes, there are crimes committed in the residence halls on campus. Anytime you have more than 900 students living in one area (i.e. Manzanita Hall), there is bound to be an energy that can be used for positive or negative actions. RAs are required to do numerous pro­ grams each sem ester promoting different facets o f the campus other than drinking or drugs, such as movie nights, guest speakers from the Department o f Public Safety and weekend fun. These programs provide alter­ n a tiv e s to ille g a l a c tiv itie s h ap p en in g around ASU. Your article stated that Residential Life d e n ie d a S ta te P ress p h o to g ra p h e r to accompany RAs while they were on duty. Would you appreciate a photographer tak­ ing pictures o f you crying when you found out a family member has died? Or maybe you would like the public to know i f you had an eating disorder, and your roommate just found out about it? RAs are trained to handle these situations, and they happen very regularly. The people that are living and working in each residence hall are not trying to con­ struct a facade o f peace and perfection for outsiders, while also creating a deviant col­ legiate paradise for students. RAs are not permitted to divulge information about situ­ ations because it is their ethical responsibili­ ty to maintain students confidentiality. Every floor in each hall is different based on the student population living there. Some halls are all fieshmen, others house gradu­ ate students, some have developed specific campus communities for the residents. To base an en tire article on an anonym ous source is difficult because o f the diversity of the halls.

State P ress A 17-year-old boy was charged with disorderly conduct early Saturday morning after a fight brokp out in front of the Harkins Theatre in downtown Tempe. No one was injured, but one youth was knocked to the ground. Police confiscated two handguns after the fight, which occurred at about 12:15 a.m. Police said the teenager who was charged with disorderly conduct was carrying one of the guns in his pants. He was not charged under Tempe’s anti-gun ordinance because it only applies when there is a special event downtown, police said. The fight started after a group of youths were arguing in front o f the theater. One teenager picked a fight after accusing another of shouting an obscenity at his girlfriend and slapping her. The youth who was arrested got involved in die fight, but ran toward a parking garage west of the theater when police arrived. They chased him down and arrested him and another youth who ran with him. The second teen was not charged.

Page 7 If the inescapable sound of jackhammers reverberating is any indication, summer improvements around campus are well underway. At McClintock Hall, which houses ASU’s Honors col­ lege, Facilities Planning and C onstruction officials are working on a $631,000 remodeling project ranging from room renovations to the replacement of its roof. Gammage has also been benefiting from renovations, The stage expansion alone is priced at $1,625,200. W ayne Derx, m anager o f planning and construction administrative support, said the band shell, which wraps around part of the stage and enhances the acoustics, was limiting the size of the stage productions. When it is completed, the renovations will expand the functions of the building while preserving the quality of sound acoustics for symphony orchestras. Parts of Murdock Hall,will also be receiving a facelift, and a technological one at that for $775,000. “We are going into the classrooms and adding more audio-visual equipment,” said Derx. Many o f the projects ASU students will witness this su m m er are o n g o in g , som e h a v in g b eg u n back in February. One such project involves adapting ASU campus facil­ ities for physically challenged persons. This has been a system atic undertaking, done on a building by building basis, Derx said. “Each (building) is assessed and examined. We then m ake. necessary changes which comply to the standards established by the American Disabilities Act which ensures all Americans have equal program accessibility,” he said. Other summer projects include a $ 166,340 overhaul of the E n g in e e rin g b u ild in g 's m e c h a n ic a l la b o ra to ry , $81,000 for building improvements at the Art Complex, $87,000 for fire sprinklers at 410 A delphi Drive, and $43,000 for parking structure repairs. • Page 8 State Press Tuesday, June 3, 1997 Couple exercised ‘discipline’ on plane, says lawyer PHOENIX (AP) — The lawyer for the Phoenix couple accused o f abusing their.' adopted children on a flight from Russia said their arrest is a case of hysteria. “ This is an overblown mass hysteria, which I think is very common today in regard to child abuse and parenting of chil­ dren,” said A rt Rigby, a New York lawyer representing Richard and Karen Thome. The Thornes were arrested after passengers aboard their flight from Moscow to New York City complained the couple was hitting and mistreating the two Russian 4-year-olds they had just adopted from a Russian orphanage. The Thornes were released from a Queens, N.Y., detention center Friday after posting a $5,000 bond Rigby said he wasn't sure whether the Thornes would stay in New York until their June 11 court hearing. “ There are two sides to every story. There is definitely a second side here,” Rigby told The Arizona Republic on Saturday. He said the stories told by witnesses to police are quite dif­ ferent from those in the criminal complaint. adoption approved. “ They were sleep-deprived, they were probably malnour­ ished for the two weeks they were there... die food is terrible,” Rigby said. “ When you put all those things together... although I’m not using that as a mitigating circumstance if in fact something sin­ ister went on die plane, because I’m not saying anything sinis­ ter went on that plane.” The Thornes spent two years trying to adopt the Russian orphans, Rigby said. The couple, married 12 years, were unable to have children of their own, he said. They redesigned their house, customized their van and went on a shopping spree for children’s clothes in preparation for the adoption. ‘‘They could have taken kids from different countries. They could have taken kids from this country. Instead, they took two kids from a Russian orphanage,’’ he said. “ The crux of the matter is: Does this sound like two people who beat children? And the resounding answer is: No.” “ They never use the term ‘punch’ in the complaint It’s ‘strike.’ Strike probably means something wjth an open hand like a spank or slap on the wrist or a slap on die back of the leg,” he said “ These are very common forms o f parental discipline.” A flight attendant on the plane told police that Karen Thome hit one of the girls several times, grabbed the girl’s arms “ with extreme force,” and hit her in the back of the legs, causing her to fall. The report says the girls were cowering each time they were struck. Passengers also told police the couple shouted at the girls. Richard Thome reportedly told one girl he would send her back to Russia. The flight crew radioed ahead and police arrested the Thornes shortly after landing at Kennedy Airport Several pas­ sengers missed connecting flights to make sure the Thornes were arrested. Rigby said the couple had just spent two weeks in Russia tangling with the court system and die U.S. Embassy to get the ^H o w i/s I.D .* y o u r * l|c tti { o n |p a t|^ OPEN A t H ^Xfj0 i.

Customers can then take anything they want from his collection for free. “A lo t o f stu d en ts have enough money and they don’t want to bother with boxing (items) up and taking it with them,” Bonnano said. “They throw away or abandon a lot of things and that is when I start getting calls from the dorms to come and pick them up.” Sherry Ellman, a 10-year volunteer o f the Free Store, said, about half o f the donations they receive are from ASU students, Sarah Sudak, assistant director of Residential Life, said there are several charities that residence hall officials call, when unwanted items start piling up. R epresentatives o f the charities , then usually drive out to pick up the items. Students living off campus at apart­ m ent com plexes are also know n to leave “valuable” stuff out by the trash at the beginning of summer, said one local dumpster diver who did wish to be identified. “I found 11 bicycles - some had to be fixed,” the m an said. ‘T found a whole computer, some scooters, mix­ ers, exercise equipment, and a TV and VCR - both in working order.” A homeless man who also did not want to give his name said he also was able to find a m any nice things in g a rb a g e d u m p ste rs a ro u n d the University. jenny Mattson, a staff member of A SU ’s Residential Hall Association, said students end up acquiring things throughout the school year they don’t feel is worth keeping. Because there are a lot out-of-state Students who fly home for the summer, many things are abandoned, she added.

D on’t feed the wildlife. And don’t step on the bombs. More than a half-century ago, when swing bands were on the radio and the Germans and Japanese were across the battlefields, soldiers used these mountains for training exercises. T heir legacy: Scores o f explosive devices, lying in wait for unsuspecting hikers. Wally Dean was 17 years old, on his first hunting trip, when a member of his party found a mortar round. The man looked it over and then either dropped or tossed it on the ground. “ The next thing I knew I was wrapped around a tree,” Dean said. He suffered nine shrapnel wounds to his left leg and right foot, along with phosphorus burns on his legs; his W inchester rifle put to use as a splint, Dean was taken to the hospital. . That happened more than 45 years ago, on Dec. 3, 1951. Today, Dean — his foot still wired together, and m etal plates em bedded in his leg — is environm ental project m anager for the Army Corps o f Engineers, and is thus in charge o f cleaning up this lingering W orld W ar n mess. , “ I wouldn’t want anyone to go through what I went through if I could prevent it,” he said. O rdnance experts say D olly Sods is one o f 2,136 places across the U nited States; where people may be exposed to live ordnance, the rem nants o f training for past conflicts. The bombs may seem innocuous: soda bottle-size and rusty with age. But they’re still dangerous and they can become more volatile with age, experts say . “ These: bom bs, you have to rem ind people, w ere meant to kill,” said Kim Speer, a spokeswoman for the U .S . A rm y E n g in e e rin g an d S u p p o rt C e n te r in Huntsville, Ala. The Dolly Sods W ilderness and adjacent Dolly Sods N orth are am ong 50 sites funded fo r cleanup by the Army, she said. The Dolly Sods project will cost $1.3 million, and is scheduled for this summer. The tw o areas, together about 16,000 acres o f the Monongahela National Forest, some 100 miles south of Pittsburgh, are barren because Of clear-cutting, forest fires and grazing around the turn of the century. The wind-whipped fires burned so hot that the humus layer o f the soil was consumed, exposing beautiful rock formations. Spruce are one-sided because of the strong westerly winds. Few trees grow taller than shoulder high in the harsh h ig h est elev atio n s, w here the annual snow fall exceeds 100 inches/ From die Army’s perspective, the brush and brambles betw een 3,000 and 4,000 feet was a perfect place for artillerymen to hone their skills. W hile elite rock clim bers from the 10th M ountain D ivision trained nearby at Seneca Rocks, other Arm y units hurled 57 mm projectiles, 60 mm and 81 mm mortar rounds and 155 mm howitzer shells into this area. A fter the war, the areas were visited by few people o th er than h u n ters. T hen backpackers discovered the peaceful ranges and panoramic vistas. r ^ “ Now upward o f 20,000 hikers, hunters and others use the two areas each year, so many that the areas are some­ times crowded on summer weekends and in the fall when leaves change colors and wild blueberries ripen. George Voellmer was clearing his way through Dolly Sods’ underbrush 10 years ago when he discovered the tail o f a mortar shell jutting from the ground. He plucked it from the dirt and tossed it in his backpack as a souvenir. The projectile bounced around die back o f his Datsun 510 as he returned to his home near Washington, D.C. “ I thought it would be a pretty cool thing to have,” he said. “ It sort o f rattled around when we drove hom e.” Voellmer did not know the projectile might contain a live round; he believed only dummy rounds were fired in Dolly Sods. His m other made him call the local bomb squad, which destroyed it. “ I was young and im m ortal,’’ Voellm er said. ‘‘You do stupid things when you were 19.” The cleanup is no simple matter. This spring, workers using m agnetom eters began surveying trails and land used as campsites to remove ilKexploded projectiles, said Rick Meadows, the Army Corps project manager.

State P ress Monday, June 3,1997 P a g e 12 Process to get in state tuition not always clear cut By O nus P a s s a m a n o State P ress Hundreds of out-of-state students are looking forward to saving $6,500 in tuition a year by being declared a state resident, a process some say can often be arbitrary. Applicants for residency are supposed to meet a group of standaid requirements that are set by the Board of Regents. According to policy, one thing that should prevent residency status is if the applicant is on a parent’s health insurance plan. But Heather Burzinski, a 23-year-old microbiology major, said she qualified for residency on her first try, despite this role. Brozinski said die is covered on her father’s health insurance until she is 26 years old, but when she applied for residency, it was overlooked. ‘The lady told me that if that is the only thing then dial’s fine,” she said. Diana Hinds, ASLTs residency classification coordinator, said she could not comment on Bruzinski’s or any other individual’s case due to privacy rules. David VanPatten, a 23-year-old broadcasting major, said he was angry nobody was willing to bend the roles for him. One of the key criteria to gain residency is to prove financial independence, which means earning at least $7,000 plus die cost of out-of-state tuition, for a total of about $15,000. VanPatten said he was denied residency status last week because a portion of his $15,000 came from a cash gift he received from his mother after graduating from hi$i school. A policy pro­ hibits such a gift as counting toward independence. T work a hill-time job when I go to school — 1 have for four years,” he said. T have worked on campus, lived on campus, done everything that they have asked, but since my parents helped me with tuition (residency officials) say I’m not self-supporting, and s» Ea c h S ta te P r ess P R O V ID E S Y O U R D A ILY BflCKPACKDOWH UNDER Australia packages R E Q U IR E ­ frM....................... $1000 GEYSERS t GLACIERS M ENTS OF 11 NewZealand packages frem........ . . . . . $1105 AIR ONLYTO AUCKLAND tow.. . . . . . . ___ $709 E SS E N T IA L 'ty-A&ratUK V IT A M IN S e AIRNEWZEALAND Mwwe pricee a n I wr Lae A w p in .

To prove financial independence, applicants must obtain two years of tax forms. These can be obtained at the Internal Revenue Service building located at 40 W. Baseline Road in Tempe. Hinds also said that although cadi gifts won’t work, applicants can include financial aid and loans fern the school as well as loans from a bank to come up with the necessary $15,000. Inheritances, stock dividends, established trust funds, accident settlements, or just about anything else that is taxed cash earnings can be used to help, according to residency office literature. All money must be reported fix tax purposes to be claimed by the applicant For this reason, applicants who work off the books for cadi can’tclaim it as earnings. Besides proving financial independence, applicants have to prove physical presence in the state, as well as prove the intent to establish a domicile, or permanent residence. Proving the applicant has been in the state for 12 months is fair­ ly easy, Hinds said. School enrollment and proof of in-state employment are two ways to do this. The domicile criteria include home or apartment lease agree­ ments that continue after the time of gaining residency. Hinds said this is not usually a problem for most students, either. There w oe about 11,000 out-of-state students attending ASU in the spring semester and about 1,000 apply for residency each year. Of those, {finds said about 800 meet the necessary requirements to be declared a resident That adds up to more than a $5,000,000 reduction in tuition to the University, at current tuition rates. When applications are received they are reviewed by {finds or another residency specialist “Most students don’t apply unless they feel they have a good chance,” {finds said Those applicants who are not accepted have a few options. Hinds said the students can wait until the following semester and apply again, or they c&i find out what the grounds were for their denial and have an appeals hearing. A t the appeals hearing, an applicant has the opportunity to pre­ sent a case and provide additional information that may solidify their application. The panel, made up of three to five members of an 18 member group, then discusses mid decides whether to over­ turn the denial. This group include students, faculty as well as sup­ port staff. “About 25 to 33 percent of the denials are reversed,” Hinds said Making a copy of a budget for the committee to show how applicants might financially survive without making all of the $7,000 might help win an appeal, she said Talking to people in the. residency office to clarify any questions is a good idea, she added Applying eariy can also help. The review process takes about three weeks and tuition is due Aug. 3 for the fall semester.

On shore, rebel allies o f the coup leaders attacked a Nigerian command post, injuring six Nigerian soldiers, a witness said. It was the first major righting since the May 25 coup, and followed diplomatic efforts to persuade coup leader Maj. Johhny Paul Koroma and his followers to surrender power. N igeria’s gunships opened fire in the m o rn in g , ta rg e tin g th e w est en d o f Freetow n where coup leaders have their m ilitary headquarters. The fire increased throughout the day, sending residents flee­ ing, many of them carrying overnight bags. It was not known how many gunships there were, but Nigeria has had at least two ships positioned offshore since last week, as part of an effort to pressure the coup leaders into surrendering power. The naval attack was followed by spo­ radic automatic-weapon fire in parts o f the' city. Around midday, the coup leaders sent a single helicopter out to sea to fire back. Fighters arm ed with rocket-propelled grenades roamed the town. Many o f them were in civilian clothing, possibly to allow them to disappear into the civilian popula­ tion in case of a Nigerian-led invasion: W itnesses said N igerian troops, who m ostly are positioned east o f Freetow n, were moving west through bush toward the mutineer’s stronghold. The Nigerians already have a beachhead at a beach hotel in the west o f the capital. The hotel came under attack today from rebel troops allied with the coup, who fired grenades from a hill overlooking the hotel. Six Nigerian troops protecting the hotel were wounded, according to a hotel guest reached by phone, who refused to give his name. Fires broke out on two floors, but were quickly extinguished. The N igerian troops secured the hotel last Week when it becam e an evacuation point for foreigners, and have since set up a command post there.

The Commerce Department said today that Americans’ personal incomes rose just 0.1 percent in April, the small­ est increase since a similar advance last October. With less money earned, Americans spent less as Well. Consumer spending edged up just 0.1 percent in April, the smallest increase since last September. Both the tiny gain in incomes and the slight rise in spending w ere in line with predictions. The inflation-sensi­ tive bond market gained ground on the report. Yields on 30-year Treasury bonds — which move in the opposite direction o f price — dropped to 6.89 percent this morning from 6.90 percent late Friday. The report bolstered the b elief o f investors that the economy is slowing from its sizzling pace of the last two quarters to a more sustainable rate. “ This is consistent with a picture of art economy that is slowing down after two very strong, quarters but is still growing at a healthy pace,” said David Wyss, economist at DRI-McGraw Hill Inc. The economy grew at an annual rate of 5.8 percent in the first three months of this year, the fastest clip in nearly a decade. That rapid growth helped push the unemploy­ ment rate down to a 23-year low of 4.9 percent in April. However, it also raised fears of a boom-bust scenario in Which rapid growth would prompt an aggressive response on the part of the Federal Reserve to cool off an overheated economy. The Fed slows things down by raising interest rates. But if it overdoes the rate hikes, it can dump the economy into a recession. While the central bank did nudge rates up by a quarterpercentage point in March, it passed up a chance to go far­ ther at its last meeting in May, preferring to wait to see if the economy will slow on its own. The next Fed meeting is July 1-2 and economic reports such as those released today will be big factor in determin­ ing whether the central bank stays on the sidelines or does more to increase rates. The government said the 0.1 percent increase in spend­ ing in A pril follow ed a revised 0.2 percent spending increase in March. The small March advance represented a sharp downward revision from an original estimate of 0.5 percent, indicating purchases were not nearly as strong as first believed. Since consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of the total economy, changes in this area are closely watched for signals they give about the overall economy. Many analysts are insisting the Fed will not need to do more to raise interest rates because the economy is already slowing on its own and there have been no signs that infla­ tion is getting out of control. However, other analysts argue that the Fed Will feel the need to boost rates further because the economy is not slowing quickly enough on its own and an unemployment rate at 4.9 percent raises the risks o f accelerating inflation down the road. Private wages and salaries, which had begn-riSing at an annual rate o f $26 billion in March, decreased by $4.2 bil­ lion in April, reflecting a drop in average weekly hours worked and average hourly earnings.

ASA, which represents m ore than 100,000 students statewide, will now be funded by a student fee o f $1 per semester, per student. The newly approved budget has eased concerns that a conflict of interest may arise with ASA using state money to lobby ABOR. ASU students passed a referendum in April allowing ASA to collect the SI fee, which goes ipto effect this fall. "(The new budget) allows the students to have their own voice without being accountable to ABOR." said Damon Pace, ASASU government relations director. "W e’re a lot more effective in our lobbying and the topics we can dis. cuss with ABOR.” ASA requested a 1998 budget of $128,600 but estimated total revenues from the new fee will be $202,000. The excess $73,400 must be used to directly benefit students, Pace said. “T h is is a h u g e ste p fo r A S A ,” sa id C h ristin e Thom pson, executive d irecto r o f ASA. “W e’re finally going to be held accountable by our students. It’s going to be a real litmus test for ASA.” Revenues from the fee will not be available to ASA until October 21, when enrollment at die universities is computed. ABOR approved a $45,000 loan to the student organization to provide financial support during die budget transition. ASA expects to be self-supporting by die fall o f 1998, assuming a large volume o f students don’t request refunds. The new fee structure will automatically charge each stu­ dent $1 at the time tuition is paid; however, a refund may be requested from ASA.

(AP) — The Kingman Area Chamber of Commerce certainly is not bragging about it But being home to star witnesses in the Oklahoma City bombing trial has helped businesses. Merchants say the residence of Michael and Lori Fortier has helped attract visitors to this dusty western Arizona desert town. Visitors frequently mention the couple or their infamous close friend, bombing defendant Timothy McVeigh. But the Fortiers have not helped promote a positive image for Kingman. Lori Fortier, a tanning salon employee, had testi­ fied at the trial that she had smoked pot and used methamphetamine since she was a teen-ager and that her drug use increased in the weeks before the bombing. During a news conference belittling her testimony, a defense attorney remarked: “ Welcome to the dope-smoking, methamphetamine-swilling world of Kingman.’’ Fred Paulson, co-owner o f the Hill Top Motel, said not a day goes by without tourists mentioning that McVeigh stayed there several days before the April 19, 1995 bombing, which killed 168 people. “ Hey, you have a room here at the McVeigh Motel?” said Ben Moran of Cottonwood early Saturday morning. “ I’m his cousin, you know. You’ve just got to give me a room.” Paulson apologized. Room No. 119 was already rented, but Moran will take one a couple of doors down. “ It’s like this all the time,” Paulson said. “ People get this thrill knowing that McVeigh stayed here. We’ve even got the same bed and mattress in there that he used because it’s so pop­ ular.” It isn’t just Paulson that gets inquiries about McVeigh. Residents all over the town get asked questions about the famous defendant and the Fortiers. On Mother’s Day, a group of tourists pulled out there cam­ era and waived waitress Danielle Behn over to their table. ‘‘But it didn’t have anything to do with me,” she said. “ They wanted to know how to get to Kingman High School so they could shoot pictures o f where Mike Fortier went to school.” McVeigh is also frequently the topic of conversation at the Kingman Army Navy Surplus store, said owner Bill Kaye. “ Just a couple weeks ago, this lady came in here and asked me if I had any ‘Timmy pants,’” Kaye said. “ I just kind of looked at her and said, ‘What are you talking about?’ “ Then she said she Was talking about camouflage pants, the type that McVeigh used to wear around here,” Kaye said. “ All the time, people are looking for stuff here that could be associ­ ated with him.” Paulson w aits anxiously fo r the F ederal B ureau o f Investigation to return a Gideon Bible which was taken from the room McVeigh stayed in. Paulson believes he circled John 3:36, which reads, “ He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; end he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” “ That’s going to be a big conversation piece when we get it back,” Paulson said.
