After eight turbulent years as head coach of the Sun Devil men’s basketball program, Frieder announced from his home in Paradise Valley on Wednesday that he was stepping down from the helm of the Sun Devils’ program. Frieder said he discussed die issue for days with athletic director Kevin White. “Simply put, we both felt it was in ASU’s and Bill Frieder's best interests to part ways,” Frieder said with a slight crack in his voice. “1 want to emphasize that I love ASU. I love the people ... and I am extremely grateful for the cight-and-a-half years I have been here.” White concurred that die two reached an agreement after looking over the state of the program. “It’s just become more and more abundantly clear to me that we needed to move in another direction,” White said. “With all due respect to Bill I think he agreed. We kind o f had a final conversation (Tuesday) and it made some sense to change the direction of the program.” ... ,: After reaching the Sw eet 16 the final round o f 16 teams in the NCAA’* basketball tournament — during the 1993-94 season, it appeared Frieder had die team on die rise. However, a series o f mishaps involving recruits and players derailed the program and sent it spiraling down. The seemingly never-ending string of misfortunes Frieder faced, including as many as 12 players being arrested for offdie-court incidents, eventually wore the coach down. ; “I think the turning point in this whole thing was Eddie House and Reggie Hester getting in trouble and us hearing about it the Tuesday after Labor Day,“ Frieder said. “In the wake of the FBI thing 1 was determined and prepared to stay on. To fight through it. “I know that for die first time the thought came across my mind that maybe it was time to go and I’m sure Kevin at die time had more pressure on him.” Those incidents included: - «August 30,1997 — Two players, sophomore guard Eddie House and junior guard Reggie Hester were arrested for allegedly stealing a compact disc player in Marizanita Hall. •August 1997 -— The allegations of point-shaving during the 1993-94 season resurfaced when the Arizona Republic reported that federal authorities were investigating whether point guard Stevin “Hedake” Smith took thousands of dol­ lars from a gambler who bet heavily against ASU in 1994. According to officials of the Phoenix FBI, neither Frieder nor die University are a target of the investigations. •February 27, 1996 — Three players: Gee Gervin, Thomas Prince and Rico Harris were charged with an alleged rape in the Sonora Center dormitory. The charges were soon dropped. Prince and Harris transferred soon after, while Gervin played one season before transferring to San Jacinto Community College this summer. •M arch 1994 — After ASU’s March 5, 1994 game against Washington, Las Vegas bookmakers noted unusual­ ly heavy betting on the game in which ASU was an 10 1/2point favorite.

Also under scrutiny was ASU’s March 3rd game versus Washington State in which the Sun Devils lost by nine points after being favored. These incidents, combined with injuries to key personnel {Quincy Brew er, Okeme O ziw o), the M ajor League Baseball draft (Ryan McDermott) and epileptic seizures (Lenny Holly), claimed many a player from Frieder. Throughout it all Frieder stuck by his team and said he would not leave. However, the House and Hester incident seemed to push him over die edge. “The fact that we had stressed from day one and had several meetings mid speakers planned, and needing to be Turn to Frieder, page 2. Tempe officials: Transit will grow despite election results By T im B axter State P ress Tempe’s transit tax, passed last September, was intended to breathe life into the city’s dor­ mant public transportation systemw hile the election-night death of sim­ ilar tax es in P h oenix and S co ttsd ale didn’t put Tem pe’s system on life-sup­ port, officials and transportation activists still feel disappointment. “We need to put in place a better trans­ portation program for this Valley, and our citizens have told us that,” Tempe Mayor Neil Giuliano said. “But they obviously did not like those proposals, so it’s back to the drawing board.” ■ ’ When Tempe’s $22 million-a-year tran­ sit tax narrowly passed last year, supporters believed neighboring communities would also improve mass transit allowing a linked network of buses that would service most of the Valley. Failure of the mass transit ballot issues killed those hopes, at least for now. Giuliano said Tempe’s mass transit system will continue to grow, but riders will not haye the “connectivity” the city hoped for. “We were hoping to be able to increase our service to connect to increased service in Phoenix,” he said. “At some point your quality of life is going to suffer if you don’t improve those areas.” ’ Carol Smith, a Tempe city councilwoman, said she thought it was “interesting” that the morning after the proposals failed, a man was shot in a “road rage” incident in Scottsdale and the Valley was under an ozone alert. ,r “We were 25 years late building free­ ways and now we’re going to be 25 years late building mass transit,” she said. Smith said Tempe bus riders will not be dumped off at the cities borders and Tempe buses regularly travel to Los Arcos and F ashion Square m alls, the Scottsdale Airpark and other destinations. “There is progress that can be made with or without the other cities,“ she said.

For the first time, my heart and soul wasn’t in it anymore.” After the team met with White, Hester and House said Frieder’s leaving would be hard for die team. “I feel kinda bad because 1 like Frieder a lot,” House said. “He’s a good guy. He recruited me. I’m gonna miss him.” Hester partially blamed the media. “I d o n ’t think i t ’s fa ir,” he said. “Especially (because) some things that some of the players do and when it goes to the media: or whatever, it’s not always as they write it. “The last situation was nowhere near what it appeared to be.” Junior forward Michael Batiste said he didn’t feel Frieder’s decision to leave Was the players’ fault. “No, not really. I don’t think it’s (recent player problems) a big deal,” a distressed Batiste said. “When you get a guy (Frieder) under a lot of pressure, he’s got to do what he’s got to do. And I understand.” Frieder’s career at ASU ends with a 132108 record overall, 66-76 in conference. In his eight years he led the Sun Devils to six C o r r e c t io n postseason appearances (two NCAA) and leaves as ASU’s second-winningest coach ever (behind Ned Wulk). Frieder coached at Michigan from 1981 to 1989, leading the W olverines to five straight NCAA tournament appearances from 1985 to ‘89, finishing with a record of 191-87. Frieder leaves behind a sagging program which slumped to a 10-20, 2-16 Pac-10 fin­ ish of last year. It marked the first time ASU finished last in the Pac-10. This is a far cry from the state Frieder left Michigan when he came to ASU on March 15,1989. The Wolverines were 24-7 in his last sea­ son, and went on to win the NCAA Championship with then-assistant coach Steve Fisher taking die reigns for the tourney. White and Frieder reached an agreement on the remaining three years of Frieder’s contract that was to pay him a reported $260,000 annually, not including bonuses and endorsements. Frieder would only say that White’s pro­ posal was “nothing earth-slfaking. It’s fair.” White said o f the three years left on Frieder’s contract, “There has been a settle­ ment that has been consummated with the general council here at ASU.” State Press reporters M att Paulson, Lori Haro and John Graber contributed to this story. : An editorial in Tuesday’s State Press incorrectly stated that the Tempe City Council was to vote on a rental housing code in July, and was “stopped in its tracks” by the Arizona Multihousing Association and Tempe citizen Fritz Tuffii. The rental code was actually approved in February, and the Tempe City Council voted in July to can­ cel a planned referendum elecjion on the issue. We regret tile error.

About face By Susanne M . Schafer Associated P ress WASHINGTON The Army has repri­ manded the two-star general who headed the training base at the center of service’s most serious sexual harassment scandal, officials said Wednesday; Maj. Gen. Robert Shadley. former com­ mander of the U.S. Army Ordnance Center in Aberdeen. Md.. received a letter of reprimand and plans to contest it, said a Pentagon official. ■ ' The report came as the Army prepared to issue its long-awaited report on the sex abuse scandal that first came to light last November, Army Secretary Togo West and Gen. Dennis Reimer, the Army chief of staff, are scheduled to discuss the study's findings Thursday, lawmakers were briefed late Wednesday. Besides Shadley. several other officers under his command as Aberdeen, including battalion and brigade commanders, have been reprimanded, said the official, who spoke on condition of-anonymity. Such reprimands are considered careerending actions in a military. Shadley currently is deputy chief of staff for logistics and readiness at Fort McPherson, Ga.. site of Forces Command, which is in charge of all Army units in the United States. West and Reimer were expected to release the results of two major Army studies on sex­ ual harassment in the Army that have been under way for nearly a year. The studies were prompted by last Novem ber’s disclosures that male drill sergeants at Aberdeen Proving Ground were preying on female trainees. That touched off a series of allegations of rape and other miscon­ duct at a number of bases, including sexual misconduct charges against the service’s most senior enlisted man. Sgt. Maj. of the Army Gene McKinney. Although some Army officials argued at the time that Shadley should be exonerated, contending he was too senior to know about the sexual misconduct on the base, some members of Congress called for more accountability to be placed upon the Army’s senior leaders. On Thursday, the Army is to announce its “action plan” for dealing with sexual harassment, including putting a new focus on tra in in g , revam ping screen in g of potential drill sergeants, and adding more chaplains to the ranks. West intends to add another week to the service's eight-week basic training course, said one senior officer. “They want to put the focus on ethics and values,” the officer said.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Miss Hawaii became the first Miss America contestant in years to win in a two-piece suit Wednesday, an outfit that also gave Miss Vermont the chance to show off what may be the first navel ring in con­ test history. Erika Kauffman won the swimsuit contest during the second night of preliminary competition in the 77th annu­ al Miss America Pageant. K auffm an, 18, of Honolulu, who graduated from high school in June, wore a two-piece blue suit trimmed in white that she bought off the rack at a J.C. Penney store. She bested 16 other women who appeared in swimsuit, six of them wear­ ing two-piece suits. “It covered what I want- ed to cover and accentuated what I wanted to accentu­ ate,” Kauffman said. Miss Florida Christy Neuman captured top honors in talent for a rhythmic dance she performed to a song from the movie “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.” But the big splash went to Miss Vermont Jill Cummings, whose blue twopiece suit clearly displayed the ring she wears through her pierced navel. When she walked out on stage in Convention Hall, dozens of camera flashes went off as photographers scrambled to capture the moment on film. P relim in ary co m p eti­ tions in talent, sw im suit and evening wear are held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday leading up to the p ag ean t fin a ls.

It is found in c e le b ra­ tions, rites o f passage, cere­ m onies and o th er so c ia l fu n c tio n s. Y et th ere are severe side effects that seem to be overlooked and placed by the wayside in the name of “having a good time.” This dangerous set of values surrounding alco­ hol have some sobering facts that,' when brought to light, can demonstrate that this friend — alcohol — is really a foe. When alcohol is consumed, whether at a wedding,' a football game, a party or at any occasion, the effects on the human central nervous system and brain functions are the same. Alcohol has a dulling affect on the sensés; motor skills are reduced and the capacity to reason is diminished. This dulling creates a feeling of being high or an easiness that washes over the individual. With con­ sumption, the drinker discovers cares are lifted and he or she has a newfound freedom from inhibitions. In our culture, this is a celebrated activity and a “God-given right.” For example, in the advertising of alcoholic beverages, there are young, energetic, sexy people having the greatest time because they have a cer­ tain alcoholic product in their hand. The appearance of being “with it” or “hip” is stigmatized into the act of consuming alcohol. In others, the act of consumption is proposed as a reward for a hard day’s work or as a perk o f being with friends in celebration. S ta tistic s from the C en ter fo r D isease C ontrol (C D C ) m ake it é v id e n t that o u r n a tio n ’s a ttitu d e towards drinking is dangerous. In 1995, as part of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, the Centers fo r D isease C o n tro l and P re v e n tio n c o n d u c te d a national school-based Youth Risk B ehavior Survey among a representative sample of 10,904 high school students. During the 30 days preceding the survey, ] J 51.6 percent of students had had at least one drink of alcohol and 32.6 percent o f students had consum ed five or more drinks of alcohol on at least one occasion. It is safe to assume that for college-age students, these numbers are higher. Remember, alcohol has a dulling effect on the senses and the capacity to reason is diminished. Two examples of dangerous situations resulting from alcohol con­ sumption are driving under the influence and sexual encounters. ■ 1 ■' . * The CDC went on to report that motor-vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death in the United States for persons from one year to 34 years of age. 41.3 percent of the 41,693 traffic fatalities in 1995 were alcoholrelated. In 1994, 29 percent of the 2,610 traffic fatali­ ties involving 15-to-17-year-olds and 44 percent of the 3.616 traffic fatalities involving 18-to-20-year-olds were alcohol-related. As for sex, people can find themselves in sexually compromising, threatening arid even deadly surround­ ings. When reason is blurred, the inhibition to stop or the thought of “What am I doing?” is lifted. “Going all the way” is not so elusive or prohibited. The result could be an unwanted pregnancy, date rape or transmission of a sexually transmitted disease such as herpes or —%even worse — AIDS. The stereotypes found in American culture demon­ strate a reckless disregard for the severe side affects of alcohol consumption.

Following Sunday night’s celebration, which came after the Cardinals' upset of the Dallas Cowboys, the National Football League has set Some ground rules to pre­ vent further “college antics.” Ouch, that hurts. From now on, police officers will use more force, if necessary, to keep fans from com ing onto the field after a victory. Officially, the NFL said it was taking these steps for safety purposes, but it doesn’t take a complete genius to figure out another rea­ son, You can’t just go down to the local hard­ ware store and pick up an official NFL goal post, like the one taken down by the fans in the post-win gala on Sunday. OK, so the NFL has a point, We are destroying property. But can’t we make a compromise? We need to set a condition on when we’re allowed to go on the field and com­ memorate a victory. It’s not all that often that the Cards win, let alone Win in dramat­ ic fashion. For instance, if the Cards should beat the New York Giants, we shall do nothing more than stand and applaud the effort. However, if they should earn a playoff birth late in the season, it’s time for those goal posts to hit the deck. Going to watch your favorite football team play has always been about fun, and look, we found a way to have even more fun right here in Sun Devil Stadium. It makes perfect sense to raise a little hell when the situation calls for it; after all, a good number of the Cardinals fans are Sun Devils. So, Paul Tagliabue and the rest of the NFL, we ask you to compromise. We’re not asking for a lot, maybe just a goal post or two. And if the Cowboys fans want to tear down their goal posts in haste after the Cardinals upset diem in Texas, we’ll leave that up to them. Will Collins Freshman Journalism College is preparation for life In the Sept. 9 State Press, columnist Bryan Ary expressed his opposition to the attendance policies in many o f his classes. Ary states, “Attendance policies sound elem entary to me.” He says that college is about making decisions and he has the option to make them. One o f these d ecisio n s is to atten d or not to attend class. Attendance policies do not den y A ry th e o p tio n to d e c id e , b u t m erely p re se n t the co n seq u en ces up front. If you miss class, you fail — that is the bottom line. Ary goes on to complain, “I want to have the option without fearing expulsion.” Is this realistic? Ary better become used to hearing the expression “you can’t always get what you want.” Many college fresh­ men are ill-prepared for tire realities of col­ lege, as the high rate of drop-outs and stu­ dents on probation exhibits. The intent of attendance policies is to help students get through their first year and return for a Secmid year in “good standing.” Ary and other students need to focus on the w ord responsibility. C ollege is an enormous responsibility. I am sure most students have heard the cliché, “College is what you make of it.” This really is true! Every student at ASU has the opportunity to gain a higher education. Do with it what you will. The real world is right around the comer and it does not put up with absence because you want to sleep until noon. If you can’t handle going to class, how are you going to handle a career in the real world? You have a few years to figure it out (these years will be some of the best and the hardest years of your life), but I suggest you get a head start and get your priorities straight. Emily Jenee Russek Junior Broadcasting The State Press would like to clarify two errors printed in the Sept 10 opinion •The column, “Alcohol-related accidents hit home” was written by Angela Yeager, not Amanda as was*incorrectly printed. •The letter to the editor, “Burger King hikes price on ASU Whopper” was .submitted by David M. McKee, a manager in ASU’s telecommunications services. The State Press regrets the errors. Use computing time wisely I have ju s t w aited in lin e at the Computing Commons for 30 minutes so I could use a com puter for 10 m inutes before going back to class. And here I am, utilizing those 10 minutes to write this editorial in the hopes of saving myself and others from this stupidity. It is no great secret that the computer facilities at ASU ... w e ll... suck! But there áre some things that we as users can do to ease the frustra­ tion. : • If you are able to use other computer facilities besides the Computing Commons, do it! And encourage those other facilities to increase their hours of operation. Usage of the other facilities, such as the ones in the business building and tire music build­ ing, especially during peak times, would cut down the lines and the lag time in the systems. • If you do use the Computing Commons, use the “open” signs correctly! There is a reason for them . W hen you sit down, remove the sign from the top of the com­ puter, and when you leave, put the sign back up. It is not that difficult to under­ stand! And if you are waiting in line for a computer, be observant. Don’t just Stand there; if you think that one might be open across the room, go find out! • Lastly, utilize your time wisely. Be aware of the fact that there are 20 others waiting in line. Do what you need to do, do it quickly, and leave. If you are planning to surf the Web for two hours, maybe you could do it later in the afternoon when there is not so much traffic.

MONSIER BEERS&L.I. TEAS A state-funded work-study proposal denied by the Legislature last year is once again being pushed by state universities to give eligible students the opportunity to work with local businesses toward their career goals. “The main goal of the project is to give students experience in their future profes­ sions or in their areas of interest, rather than experience in areas that aren’t going to help them in the fu tu re ,” said C hristine Thompson, Arizona Students Association executive director. Sens. Gary Richardson, R-Tempe, and John Huppenthal. R-Chandler. are working with the government relations department of ASASU to help successfully push the bill through the next legislative session. “It’s a great program to enable students to get some hands-on working knowledge in a chosen field while they are receiving their education,” Richardson said. “It’s much better than delivering pizza or waiting tables.” Funding for the program has been the major hurdle that has kept the proposal dor- mant in the past. “If (the universities) have to absorb the cost of these additional work-study slots, then the universities are not going to be sup­ portive,” said Tony Seese-Bieda, spokesman for the Arizona Board of Regents. Thom pson said there is currently a work-study committee in ASA looking into funding options. “Last year we asked for a tax break, but we didn't have all the kinks worked out,” she said. “We still haven’t fully decided how we’re going to go about asking for funding." Pace said one option is to have the workstudy program paid for by both the state and the employer. If the student wage was $8 an hour. the. state would pay $4 and the employer would pay $4. he said. Seese-Bieda said that would be a good approach. “If the proposal has a funding source where its a win-win situation, it will proba­ bly he a good puteóme.” he said. Airport buys house, gets a pet LOS ANGELES (AP) — The house cost $231,000. The cat came free. Los Angeles International Airport found itself with an unofficial mascot with its pur­ chase of a Playa del Rey home. The house sits near the northern runway and authorities want­ ed to turn it into a showcase for soundproofing. The previous homeowner didn’t take a gray-and-white cat that had been hanging around long enough to have earned the nick­ name Cat. Airport workers didn’t mind. They feed and care for the cat, even paying for veteri­ nary care. “He’s somewhat become a mascot,” said Nancy Niles, community outreach coordinator for die LAX Residential Soundproofing Bureau. The airport workers gave Cat a new name, too — Runway. “She responds to it,” Niles said. The home, which was bought last month, is being refurbished to reduce jet noise. The cat doesn’t seem to mind the con­ struction. 4-10 PM FREE FOOD BUFFET 4-7 PM UVE MUSIC ON THE PATIO WITH AZZIZZ LIVE MUSIC ON THE PATIO WITH STAR 00'S e s — TA $ 0 0 0 DIG ON GROOVY VIBES Of THE 70s A 80s gsgk ) 32OZ.

The radio host refused to apologize Wednesday for insulting French-speaking Quebeckers on his show, saying: “I can’t imagine anybody would take what I say seriously.” Stern made his Canadian debut last week when his New York-based program was broadcast in Montreal and Toronto. He called Francophones “peckerheads” and “scum bags” and charged that the French collaborated with the Nazis dur­ ing World War II. The broadcast prompted the Quebec government to suggest Stem was violat­ ing a law against stirring up ethnic hatred. At a new s co n feren ce, S tern said: “The reason you guys have put me on the front page of your newspapers is because I’m the freshest, wildest radio host in the world. Y ou’ve now been introduced to good radio.” A L B A N Y , N .Y . (A P) — M ario Cuomo is going back on the air with his serious brand of talk radio. The former governor is trying a week­ ly half-hour show that will be offered free to public radio stations and commer­ cial outlets nationwide. After losing for re-election in 1994, Cuomo tried his hand at national talk radio. His syndicated show, which ran on weekends in 1995 and 1996, aired on about 50 stations at its peak but never drew a large audience. The new Sunday evening show begins on Sept, 21. Cuomo said a public radio audience might be more receptive than commercial outlets to his brand o f talk radio. He prefers generally serious and in-depth discussions. To do com m ercial talk radio, “you have to be en tertain in g . E ntertaining means bing-bang, bing-bang,” Cuomo explained Wednesday. “What you have to do is what Rush Limbaugh does.” NEW YORK ( A P ) — Soprano Rosa Ponselle was a great eater as well as a great singer, Luciano Pavarotti recalled Wednesday as postage stamps picturing four Metropolitan Opera stars of the past were unveiled. In 1974, Pavarotti said, he visited an 80-year-old Miss Ponselle in Baltimore. “She gave me an appointment in the afternoon. For her the m orning d id n ’t exist,” the tenor recalled. “She came out of her house dressed like a beautiful diva. She said, ‘Today my pianissimo will not be so great.’” T hey ta lk e d and san g and ate fo r hours, he said. “She was a great eater. Wow. We were eating the same precise things.

March 1994 — point shaving Scandal begins, February 1996 — Three players Gee Gervin. Thomas Prince and Rico Harris are Charged with an alleged rape at the Sonora Center, August 1997- Point-shaving allega­ tions resurface, Aug, 30, 1997- Sophomore guard Eddie House and junior guard Reggie Hester are arrested for allegedly stealing a compact disc player in Manzanita Hall, .. This only represents a small part of the laundry list of incidents the team has been involved in during Frieder’s tenure. However, from a player’s perspective, these situations need to be put behind them, and though ASU head basketball coach Bill Frieder has officially resigned, the team will still go on. Some players had nothing to say yet about their thoughts on Frieder’s resignation. ; Senior forward Urit Kelly-said that there was really nothing he could comment on and that The players didn’t know much and they would wait to see what Frieder said. Senior guard Jeremy Veal also declined comment. However, the two players involved in the most recent ASU basketball incident, Hester and House, did offer their views, along with junior forward Michael Batiste. "We hit a wall, we need to jump it and come together and be strong.” sophomore guard Eddie House said. "(We'll) put this behind us and go on with it." y Some of the players offered different rea-. sons for why they thought Frieder decided to step down. The incidents involving some players may have been part of it, but Hester also believes there were other determining factors. “Some things that some of the players do, when it goes to the media it's not always as they write it. The last situation was nowhere near what it appeared to be,” Hester said. “I think it was the pressure, he (Frieder) was kind of uncomfortable with the situation he is in right now.” While the new head coach is yet to be known, several of the players made it clear that they would like one of the assistants to step up. “I’m getting familiar with the assistant coaches (Don Newman, Doc Sadler)," Hester said. "I'd be a lot more comfortable with those guys to take over.” House agreed. "I really don't want them to bring in any­ one new. I wouldn't mind having Newman or Doc take over as head coach and have either Newman or Doc as the assistant, and why I like that is because it’s more like fami­ ly,” House said. Batiste also said Newman would be the man of choice. “I think I'd rather play for Don,” he said. “Because I think that if somebody else came in and took over it would change the continu­ ity and chemistry (of the team). All the hard work we did over the last season and sum­ mer. It would be tough if someone new came in.” O. ' House said that everybody plans to stay on the team and are just looking forward to the season. “It's like a family, we’re all like brothers,” House said. “We can just stick this- out and hopefully this year, come out and win, change some things around." Batiste said the team will work things out in its best interest. “I think first of all we’re just going to talk it over with everybody,” he said. "Get every­ body’s decisions and then everybody will go home and make a decision for themselves. First we are going to think about the team and how we feel.” ’ While it may seem odd that Hester and House be the players to share their com­ ments, they seemed genuinely upset over Frieder’s leaving. Hester said that Frieder was the main reason for why he decided to come play at ASU. Pat Shannahan/State Press Sophomore guard Eddie House and his teammates voiced their sadness that head coach Bill Frieder resigned on Wednesday. The team seems to believe that an inside person should take over fo r the departed coach. Athletic director knows time is short to find new coach B y J o h n G räber S tate P ress In the big dance of Division I collegiate sports, timing is everything. Unfortunately, former basketball head coach Bill Frieder’s and ASU’s parting of ways leaves very little time to find a replacement. With just 35 days until teams can officially begin practice, the search for a new head coach to take over the reigns at the University Activity Center, will have to be a fast and furious one. “Believe me, the fact that we’re here on September the 10th is not lost on any of us,” White said. The plan is to bring in a permanent replacement for Frieder, White said. ASU wants to bring in somebody with consider­ able collegiate coaching experience, he said. "Our plan most immediately, in the next seven to 10 days is to take a good hard look at high profile sitting Division I coaches and see who is moveable from an emotional and con­ tractual standpoint and sec who might make the best iastitutional fit and what makes the most sense for this program. At that juncture, if we don’t feel the right person is in place, or nearly in place, I think at that point you’ll see us appoint an interim.” Though White declined to name names on the list of candi­ dates there are some obvious choices on the wish list bantered around by fans and sports writers. The most mentioned name is Utah’s Rick Majerus who took his team to an elite eight appearance. The Utes finished ranked sixth in the nation last season. Also high on the list is Paul Westphal’s name, who is cur­ rently a coach at Phoenix’s St. Mary’s High School. But if a permanent replacement can’t be found on such short notice, a temporary replacement will have to be found quickly. “I spent part of the day getting the athlete’s input,” White said. “They told me, if they had their druthers, and we’re going to have an interim, and go to plan B, they would prefer to have somebody who has already been on campus, and I’m inclined to move in that direction.” In that case, Don Newman, an assistant coach under Frieder, could throw his hat in the ring for consideration. But whoever winds up filling Frieder’s shoes, White said he wants somebody with the strong personality Frieder has always displayed in his eight year with the program. “We need a guy at the front of this program, as (Frieder) has always been, who is enthused, strong and determined arid take us back to where we can develop and be competitive,” White said. Miami’s Starks secondary star M att P aulson State P ress U n iv e rs ity o f M iam i M ad ia R e latio n « Miami senior cornerback Duane Starks (23) w ill attem pt to shut down ASU’s wide recievers Saturday when the Hurricanes entertain the Sun Devils at 12:30 p.m. on CBS. In the 1980s, the Miami (Fla.) football program earned the nickname “Quarterback U” by producing a string of outstanding hurlers that included Bernie Kosar, Jim Kelly and Vinny Testaverde. Today, however, a more appropriate m oniker for the H urricanes would be “Secondary State.” Of the 54 Miami players selected in the NFL D raft in the 1990s, 10 have been defensive backs. Left cornerback Duane Starks is looking to be the latest cover man to add his name to this esteemed list. He’s confident he can continue the rich tradition. .* “There isn’t really pressure because of it (the history), just pressure on maintaining the things that we have to do,” Starks said. “The only pressure that we have is not wanting to be the team that lets the (pro­ gram) down. T h at’s the only pressure thatwe have. On Saturday, ASU receivers will be ori­ ented with the All-American hopeful when they step onto the Orange Bowl field at 12:30 p.m. Arizona time for a game which is being nationally televised on CBS. Sparks, a fifth year senior, is the lone returning starter in the ‘Canes defensive backfield. And at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, he is also the fastest man on the squad with a 4.24 40 time. With such a stature, Starks likens him­ self to a certain NFL Pro-Bowler. “I would like people to look at me like (M erton) Hanks who plays for the San Francisco 49ers,” Starks said. “I look at myself more in his shoes because of his size, kind of slim built. But be’s physical, plays hard and is a great cover guy. And a great physical guy. He rem inds me of myself because of his size.” S Sun Devil wide out Ricky Boyer said Sparks should present a good test for the ASU receiving core, which has been called one of the top five in the nation.

Page 18 S tate P ress Thursday> September 11, 1997 DePaul now Meyer-less as father follows son out door B y B rian B ergstein A ssociated P ress CHICAGO — A round D ePaul, Ray Meyer is considered a patriarch. In the end, the 83-year-old former coach decided his real family was more important. Upset over the removal of his son as bas­ ketball coach, Meyer broke his contact with the university he’s represented for 55 years as basketball coach and chief goodwill ambassador. “ I live with my family, and my family is kind o f bitter about this whole thing,” Meyer said Wednesday, referring to Joey Meyer’s forced resignation in April. “They would be quite disturbed if I stayed on.” Ray Meyer’s departure ends the Blue Demons’ last link between their deteriorat­ ed program and their glory days. ' “You hate to see an affiliation, a love affair, end in this kind of situation,” college basketball analyst Dick Vitale said. “He’s been such a beautiful, loyal person, not only to DePaul University but to college basket­ ball. Obviously, he’s a brokenhearted man for the love he has for his family.” DePaul also loses a popular, well-con­ nected fund-raiser, but athletic director Bill Bradshaw said he doesn’t believe donations will drop. “I don’t think there should be any rea­ son, unless someone was just holding out to make a statement." Bradshaw said. "The money raised would go to some things : coach Ray dreamed of.” From the days of two-handed set shots to the slam dunk era, Meyer either coached, broadcasted or attended. 1.467 consecutive Blue Demons games, a 55-year streak. ‘When you think, all the family things that Could come up that could cause a guy to miss a game,” Bradshaw said. In his 42 seasons as coach, DePaul won 724 games, including the 1945 NIT champi­ onship when that was the big college post­ season event. The Blue Demons went to the Final Four in 1943 and 1979, and along the way, Meyer introduced stars from George Mikan to Terry Cummings to the NBA. When he retired in 1984. he saw to it that Joey got the job, and watched as the Blue Demons appear in the postseason 10 of the next 11 years. But after an 11-18 record in 1995-96, DePaul fell to 3-23 last year. Joey Meyer was forced out, and for­ mer Florida State coach Pat Kennedy was brought in. Ray Meyer was unhappy that Joey was sent packing, but he also was angry about the, timing because by late April, most coaching vacancies had been filled. Meyer said he plans to keep running his popular sum m er basketball cam p in Wisconsin, but he said chances are he won’t watch a DePaul game for a while. Instead, he said, he plans on watching the Blue D em ons’ crosstow n rival, Northwestern, where Joey Meyer will be doing commentary on Wildcats games for Chicago radio station WGN. Joey Meyer declined to comment. “The university was here long before ! came and it will be here long after I go,” Ray Meyer said. “I was only an employee. I wasn’t the university.” But he sounded less certain about how leaving DePaul Will affect him. “Change is probably good for everybody. I don’t know,” he sighed. “I don’t know about change because I don’t change much:” S ta rk s Continued from pack 17. “They remind me of a lot of receivers that I’ve played against at the University of Miami: Jammi German. Yatil Green. Magic Benton and the current receivers that we have now,” Starks said. “1 don’t think there’s too much of a difference. Maybe a little height difference, they have taller receivers, but that’s about it. They are fast and quick guys. You ju st got to stay with them a little longer.” . Starks grew up in the Miami area and stared for Miami Beach High School, mostly at quarterback. He then moved on to Holmes Junior College in Mississippi where he was voted the team’s Most Outstanding Defensive Back. In 1995, he transferred to Miami but was medically redshirted after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Last “I have watched him (Sparks) on film at home." Boyer said. “He’S a pretty good DB. We have to go out there and take it to him. We can’t underestimate anyone. We can’t also fear anyone. We respect him as a good DB. but we just have to go at him.” Starks is equally as intrigued by the match-up and said the Sun Devil wide outs remind him of the guys he prac­ tices against. “ They have a great group of receivers,” he said. “It may be a play where they beat me on one play and then maybe I’ll play right on top of them. But it’s going to be a back-toback competition.” Starks then added that the com petition should be familiar.

He record­ ed one touchdown and led the team with three intercep­ tions. Its that typé of talent which ASU head coach Bruce Spyder said has helped make the ‘Canes so dominant. “I’ve never seen a guy line up in a Miami Hurricanes uniform that wasn’t athletic particularly in those positions like the secondary,” Snyder said. “They are very good at breaking on the ball and very good tackles, particularly their safeties. “Normally, there’s not a run after the catch because they close so fast. If you plan on needing a first down on third down, you better throw to the stakes because you may not run very far afterwards.” S tate P ress Page 19 Thursday, September 11,1997 Bledsoe says little about Bill Sele tames Yanks, 5-2 B y H ow a rd U im a n p H ; FOXBORO, Mass. — Bill Parcells’ ok! team is i f i i i i D r e w Bledsoe’f, ■ On Wednesday, the Patriots quarterback strode into a room packed with reporterwhere his former coach often pontificated.

B y H ow ard U lman A ssociated P ress BOSTON — Ever since Aaron Sele began his major-league career with six straight wins in 1993, he’s teased the Boston Red Sox with his potential to be a dominant pitcher. He may be doing it again. Sele (13-12) broke a three-game losing streak wife his second consecu­ tive strong start, and fee Red Sox beat fee slumping New York Yankees 5-2 Wednesday night “When he’s confident on the mound, he’s as good as there is,” said New York’s Mike Stanley, Sele’s teammate until he was traded Aug. 13. Sele, who gave up just one hit in a 1-0 loss to Montreal a week earlier, allowed four hits in 6 2-3 innings against fee Yankees, who lost for fee eighth time in 11 games. “I’m not going out there saying I need to be more aggressive.” he said, “Everybody likes to throw well at fee end of fee season because you’ve got five; months left before fee next start and feat’s enough inspiration.” New York’s David Wells (14-10) is struggling as the season winds down. He has five consecutive losses and an ERA of 7.71 in feat span. In September 1996 and 1997, he is 1-4 wife a 6.94 ERA. “He got fee ball down and feat’s the thing feat’s been plaguing him in the last couple of starts,” Yankees manager Joe Torre said. “That’s a step in fee right direction.” New York still leads Anaheim by seven games in fee wild-card race but dropped 8 1/2 games behind firstplace Baltimore in the AL East. “W e’re still trying to catch Baltimore,” Wade -Boggs said. “Until we’re mathematically eliminated, we won’t start focusing on fee wild-card race.” Sele was 2-4 wife an 8.36 ERA in seven starts before he faced the Expos, who got just one hit in his seven innings. But that was a homer by Mike Lansing. On Wednesday night, another homer gave Sele an early deficit. Boggs’ fourth homer of fee year put fee Yankees ahead 1-0 in fee first. It was his 24fe homer in five seasons since leaving Boston and first against fee Red Sox. But Sele allowed only three more hits, none after Tino Martinez’s oneout single in fee fourth. “His delivery is pretty sound,” Boston manager Jimy Williams said. “The big thing is he’s getting fee first pitch over for strikes a lot and he’s getting his breaking ball oyer,” Jo h n W allace avoids alleged assault charge B y B en D obbinA ssociated P ress ' |g^ ■ GREECE, N.Y. -r- Provided he Stays out of trouble for , a year, New York Knicks forward John Wallace won’t be prosecuted for allegedly punching and choking fee mother o f his two sons, a judge ruled Wednesday. “You’ll never see him again,” defense attorney David Murante said during a: brief court hearing as fee former Syracuse University basketball star stood silently beside him. W allace’s former girlfriend, M ichelle Bolger, told police he threw her into a wall, punched her in the face and choked her during a quarrel at her home in this Rochester suburb on May 23. Wallace, 23, turned himself in the next day and could have been charged with harassment, a violation feat carries a màximum penalty of 15 days in jail. However, Bolger liter asked feat her complaint be withdrawn. Judge Charles Rogers agreed to dismiss the complaint in one year, provided fee prosecutor’s office does not seek to reopen the case. “I believe in my heart that’s unlikely,” Murante told reporters after Wallace left the courtroom without com­ menting. “ These are two good individuals who are doing fee best they can to ... take care of their children.” Wallace and Bolger dated in high school, continued see­ ing each other during his college career and have two sons, ages 4 and 1. The quarrel apparently erupted when Wallace came by the night after his son’s fourth birthday, intending to take him out. Police said Bolger’s injuries were not serious enough to constitute a charge of assault. Wallace played in 68 games fen: the Knicks last season, averaging 4.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 11.6 minutes as a rookie. He is likely to be traded to fee Toronto Raptors this month. The proposed deal, challenged by the NBA, would bring Portland Trail Blazers center Chris Dudley to the Knicks.

McGwire became only the second person in baseball history to hit 50 homers back-to-back. S t SAN FRANCISCO — Placing his name next to Babe Ruth’s in the record books left Marie McGwire in awe — of himself. McGwire joined Ruth as die only players in major league history with consecutive 50-homer seasons by hitting a a 446foot shot Wednesday in his St. Louis Cardinals’ 7-6, 10inning loss to the San Francisco Giants. “Any time you can have your name associated with Babe Ruth, it’s a pretty awesome thing to think about,” McGwire said. “I’m blown away. I think I’m sort of in awe of myself. I’ve surpassed anything I ever expected to do in the game of baseball.” McGwire led off the third inning with a drive down the left-field line off Shawn Estes. It was McGwire’s 16th homer in 34 games since joining the Cardinals in a July 31 trade from the Oakland Athletics. McGwire had spent his entire career in Oakland before the trade to St. Louis, where he. rejoined longtime Athletics man­ ager and current Cardinals manager Tony La Russa. The San Francisco crowd gave McGwire, who got the ball back from a fan in exchange for two autographed bats, a standing ovation after the homer. “It was nice to do it here. I was bom and raised a major league baseball player across the Bay in Oakland,” McGwire said. “To hit the 50th here with him (La Russa) meant some­ thing special tome.” McGwire, who hit a major league-leading 52 homers for Oakland last season, became the first player with back-to-back 50-homer seasons since Ruth did it in 1927 and 1928. Ruth also accomplished the feat in 1920 and 1921. SCHOOLS • STUDENT LIFE • SPORTS • NEWSMUÉFS .
