Surveyor took off Nov, 7,1996 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. g As the craft entered the planet’s orbit, the main engine ignited and burned for 22 minutes. During this time, com­ munication with NASA was temporarily cut off as planned.

Fraternity houses fired up over sprinkler requirem ent By G enoa S ibold -C ohn & T ara T eichgraeber State P ress Despite ruinous fires in recent years at fraternity houses on Alpha Drive, the ASUowned properties still lack adequate fire, safety systems. None of the nine houses on Alpha Drive have the required automated fire sprinkler systems throughout the facility mid both the state fire marshal and campus fraternities demand something be done. A m andate from State Fire M arshal Duane Pell, addressed to ASU in July 1996, called for the installation of fire sprinkler systems in fraternity houses on Alpha Drive before August 1998. F raternity m em bers co n tacted said they were not aw are o f the fire m ar­ shal’s mandate. .... .. . “A s far as I know, th e re ’s been no mention of , when and whether they have to be installed,” said kyan Nelson, Sigma Alpha Epsilon president. In 1991, a fire caused $200,000 dam­ age to the Phi Sigm a Kappa fraternity and in May a blaze at Pi Kappa Alpha forced members to move out just before finals week. The exact cost for adding the sprin­ klers is not known. However, ASU spent $87,000 to update the Theta Chi house this summer. Bob Francis, Greek Life executive direc­ tor, said ASU paid for the installation fire TURN TO-FRATERNrriBS, PAGE 2. Class credits proposed for student governm ent volunteers B y K a r a S h ir e S t a t e P r ess A new internship program proposed by the Associated Students of ASU will give students class credit for working in student government. “The goal was to get students involved in a meaningful way with Associated Students,” AS ASU President Andy Ortiz said. “What we’re shooting for is to have students work 15 weeks where they could put in their time with Associated Students and in return they could earn three credits.” THo program originated from the office of the AS ASU president and would require students to work a minimum of 20 hours per week. At the end o f the 15-week program, each student would be required to submit a paper describing the department for which they worked. ‘This is going to put the pressure on us to keep things going — to keep us active,” Ortiz said. “That’s good. One of the problems with Associated Students is in the spring we start to coast a little. I don’t mind scrutinizing, but I want us to be doing our best and 1 want our interns to be giving 110 percent” Support for the proposal is being sought from various University departments. “I think it’s a great Opportunity for students to learn something other than just listening to someone talk,” said Thomas Keating, political science internship coordinator. “Often what they learn the most about is themselves (and) what they like doing.” James Spiers, the internship coordinator for the market­ ing department, said he doesn’t like the idea of the intern­ ship being unpaid. “I don’t push the unpaid,” he said. “If they’re bringing something to the table they should get paid. Slave labor went out a long time ago. It’s a good idea though and if a student agrees to it I have no problem with it.” Ortiz said the program is still in its beginning phase. "This is a trial balloon that we’re flying up there,” he said. “In order to get something like this done we have to get it out there. It may not be perfect. It may need revisions but we’re starting from where we’re at.” Page 2 S t a t e P r ess Friday, S eptem ber 1 2 ,1 9 9 7 F raternities Continued from page 1.

"T h e actual spacecraft is d ifferen t because it is no longer based on a weather satellite system,” Howard said. “This time it's a Completely new design and it carries less of a payload.” Howard added that the new spacecraft is lighter and more cost effective. The Surveyor team will begin receiving data at about 4 p.m. Saturday. “I would very much like to congratulate the ASU team,” said Durrell W.

Who should pay for installations on Alpha Drive remains to be decided. “There is a dispute between the frater­ nities and the U niversity as to who is responsible,” said Chris Ward, president o f Pi Kappa A lpha House Corporation and a fra te rn ity b lo ck o rg a n iz a tio n , Alpha Drive Association. Ward added that many fraternity mem­ bers o f Alpha Drive chapters believe it is the U n iv ersity ’s resp o n sib ility as the landlord to finance sprinkler installation. But ASU officials say fraternities must foot the bill. “The lease indicates that the House Corporation who leased the property is responsible for all improvements to the building,” said Jim Gibbs, ASU rite marshall Wording in the 1962 lease agreements state “the lessee shall observe and com­ ply with all applicable laws and o rdi­ nances ... now in effect or which may be enacted.” Jennus Burton, ASU associate vice presi­ dent of Administrative Services, said the lease agreement holds fraternities responsi­ ble for sprinkler installation. As changes in the law develop, fraterni­ ties must keep the building current with codes, according to the lease. Jim Geil, deputy state fire marshal, said the code requiring automated fire sprinklers was enacted nearly 10 years ago. W ard agreed that in past cases, the University claimed provisions within the leasin g ag re e m e n t h o ld fra te rn itie s responsible for m aintenance and safety standards. “Unlike the state relationship between lan d lo rd and te n a n t, (th e U n iv ersity v iew s) a ten an c y o f 40 y e a rs as an owner,” Ward said, referring to the 1962 lease signed by the nine fraternities on Alpha Drive. Although the structures are inspected annually for fire safety compliance, inspec­ tions cannot guarantee safety in a building without sprinklers. Geil said fraternity members could be more careful about common hazards such as extension cords and storage o f com­ bustible liquids. “You know how boys are,” he said. “We’ve found things like lint piled up in th e lau n d ry ro o m and c lo th e s fa lle n behind the dryer. Boys d o n ’t think of picking up those things.” . : He added that combustible materials, such as accumulated lint, can fuel a fire. Besides the mandate from the state fire marshal, May’s fire at the Pi Kappa Alpha house prompted ASÜ to review sprinkler installation. ; f _ Because of the fire, ASU will install a sprinkler system at the Pi Kappa Alpha House. Installation funding will come from an ASU fire insurance policy on the proper­ ty, said Francis. In stallatio n could cost as much as $350,000, Francis said. Geil said he does not. care who pays the bill — it “needs to be done.” “It’s a public building,” he said. “It needs to be safe and protected.” W in a F ie s ta B o w l S c h o la r s h ip !

Lawyer accuses former cop o f lying about Steve Biko’s murder By P at R fber A ssociated P ress PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa — A former police­ man was accused of lying about the circumstances o f Steve Biko’s 1977 death during cross-examination today at an amnesty hearing for the killers of one of South Africa’s most popular black leaders. Biko died of brain injuries several days after being beat­ en by police while being interrogated. Five former police­ men are seeking amnesty, claiming Biko hit his head on a wall during a scuffle. Harold Snyman, a police major at the time, has been grilled since the opening Wednesday of one of the most high-profile cases yet to be handled by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, set up to investigate apartheidera crimes by all sides. “You have not told the truth,” George Bizos, a prominent attorney hired by Biko’s family to oppose amnesty, told A stone’s throw away A d e m o n stra to r fires a slin g sh o t a t ttw police o u tsid e th e cem etery in Sw itiago, Chile, T hursday.

A ugust» P in o c h e t Snyman today. “If you want us to believe this was a scuffle, you must give us details, or we will think you cooked the facts.” Sitting rigidly on the edge of his chair, hands in lap, and speaking so softly he had to be told to speak up, the thin, bespectacled Snyman, 69, was particularly grilled about how the scuffle started. Snyman has testified the fatal interrogation session with a sleep-deprived, naked Biko turned confrontational as Biko tried to sit on a stool. “Was your impression that (Biko) was a proud man and your Self-respect would have been insulted if he had sat on a chair?” Bizos asked. “He was a high-profile leader of black-consciousness organization and by sitting down he maintained his own status,” Snyman answered. Snyman repeatedly told Bizos that Biko was not allowed to sit during the. interrogation because “it was necessary to detain and interrogate people to prevent the overthrow of the state order,” Hie answer came so often that Bizos turned and grinned to a delighted and nearly all-black audience in Centenary Hall in New Brighton, a black township outside Port Elizabeth. The crowd dwindled from Wednesday’s 2,000 to about 500 for the second day of the hearings. Snyman was commander over four other policemen also seeking amnesty for the killing of Biko, 30, who preached that blacks should be proud of their culture and take control of their country. He was portrayed by actor Denzel Washington in the 1987 movie, Cry Freedom. Snyman admitted Wednesday that police covered up the circumstances of the killing, originally claiming it occurred on Sept. 7,1977, instead of the day before to hide the delay in calling a doctor. Biko died on Sept, 12, 1977, after being driven in the back of a police pickup truck 720 miles from Port Elizabeth to Pretoria. Federal drug agents apologize to couple for mistaken marijuana trafficking raid LEE, Mass. (AP) — A federal drug agent publicly apol­ ogized Thursday for raiding, the home of a local building inspector on the mistaken suspicion he was a marijuana trafficker. A spokesman for the couple said, however, they were awaiting a personal apology and intended to press for­ ward with complaints. “This is the all-American family. If it could happen to them, it could happen to anybody,” said state Rep. Chris H odgkins, a relative who acted as their spokesm an Thursday. “They are law-abiding citizens, and I’m very, very Sorry this happened,” said George Festa, the agent in charge of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration’s operations in New England. Daniel Keenan, who serves as building inspector in Lee and neighboring Stockbridge, said he was reading the newspaper in his front yard on Sept. 5, with his son playing nearby, when six state and federal officers drove up in sep­ arate cars. The agents told him they had reason to believe that 300 pounds of marijuana had been in his garage. Keenan said the agents didn’t have a search warrant, but he signed a consent form allowing the house and garage to be searched. They were told that if they refused, they would be put in handcuffs, a search warrant would be issued, and their belongings would be tossed into the middle of their rooms, Hodgkins said. The agents claimed to have video showing a drug delivery to the house. As neighbors and the couple’s three young children gathered to watch, the agents used a drug-sniffing dog to search the house and garage. After a fruitless two-hour search, they left. But the agents said they might return for further interrogation. Festa said an internal investigation was under way to determine just how the Keenans came to be targeted. He said he was sending a regional supervisor to talk to the family and also planned to make a personal visit to apologize.

Big ouefe The new market o f rem oving tatoos As a public service to frus­ DAM trated ASU students who have SCHIFFER] yet to find a niche in the hightech jo b market, I would like Columnist to b rin g to y o u r atten tio n a growth field o f the future. Everyone knows that com ­ puter science is the fastest track to a prosperous career in tom orrow’s jo b market. There is hope, however, for th e c o m p u te r i llite r a te , th e H y u n d a is o f th e Information Super-whatcha-ma-hooz-it. Audiology would seem to be a natural choice for a growth field, given the remarkable efficiency at which our generation is destroying its collective hearing with personal stereos, car stereos, hi-fi hom e audio-visual systems and concerts. My focus, however, is on a field that is likely to be overlooked by today’s technophiles, but will, nevertheless, provide steady employm ent to entrepreneurs who recognize the growth potential of tattoo removal. That’s right — tattoo removal. In case you haven’t noticed, over the last five years the number o f Americans acquiring permanent skin ornaments has increased dra­ matically. In fact, it seems eminently reasonable to call it a full-blown “trend.” I put that word in quotes because it is likely to invite two count«* arguments from the tattooed masses: 1) It is not a trend; it has always been around and 2) Even if it is a trend, my own decision to get a tattoo was not motivated by trendy considerations, but rather by [fill in your own reason here]. 1 intend to prove both aiguments wrong by simple mathematics. First, although tattoos have always been popular in certain segments o f society as well as in certain countries, it is easily demonstrable that the number of Americans getting tattoos in recent years has skyrocketed. F or the sake o f arguing with round numbers, I will estim ate that 10 percent o f Americans had tattoos 10 years ago, and 30 percent have them today. Though I do not have the exact figures, it is important to under­ stand that the num ber has definitely increased; this A point is not controversial. Just like body piercing two years ago, flannel five years ago and parachute pants 15 years ago, people who otherwise would not partake in an activity are doing so because it is “cool.” By my rough estimate, two-thirds of all recent tattoo acquisi­ tions were by virtue of its trendiness, At this point, many o f my inked comrades will argue that, while some o f our peers must be simply following a trend, they personally chose their tattoo irrespective o f what everyone else is doing. M athematically, this “someone else was being trendy, but not me” argument has its limits. For every three recent tattoo-parlor cus­ tomers who tell you that they did not do it to be trendy, roughly two o f them are lying o r are self-deluded. I know this assertion will be unpopular, but it is easily verifiable with elementary school math. The importance o f the trendy nature o f tattoos should now be evident. Just as no one today would be caught dead in parachute pants and trendy youth are ditching their body piercings faster than they ditched their flan­ nels three years agd, tattoos will inevitably be relegated to tiie fashion doghouse. Whether it happens next year or in 10 years is open to debate. If fashion history has taught us anything, it is that there is no such thing as a permanent trend., Even fedoras went out o f style after John Kennedy’s hatless escapades. M y guess is that tattoos will maintain their chic for a while, as tattooed fashion gurus have a vested interest in maintaining the prestige o f their permanent body alter­ ations. As new fashion leaders replace the old ones, how­ ever, the inevitable tide o f fashion fluctuation will rele­ gate body ait to the “out” status o f such former fashion staples as leg warmers and carving messages in flat-tops. Fashion-conscious individuals whose worst fear in life is to be dressed in last year’s garb will fall all over each other to undo their most permanent o f fashion choices.

An old, frail, 87year-old woman died in Calcutta five days later, largely ignored by the international press. W hile supposedly reporting Mother Teresa’s death, a special on NBC pro­ claimed across a picture o f Princess Diana with Mother Teresa, ‘Touched by an Angel.” Several newspapers used a sim ilar strategy and treated M other’s death as an appendage to the Di story in a grossly disrespectful and unfair manner. Surely, a woman who had devoted her whole life to the cause of the downtrodden and the “poor­ est o f the poor” deserved a place o f her own in the eyes of the media. What criteria motivate the media to create imagés of certain public figures and elevate them to a mythical sta­ tus? Princess Diana is being called “the queen of hearts,” the photographers in the Paris car chase have been labeled “the Paris seven” and stores in London are ringing in the cash register with sales o f Diana mementos. It could be argued that the greater news value of Diana’s death versus Mother Teresa’s exists because of the very tragic nature of the car accident that killed Diana. But this explanation seems too simplistic to hold ground. The media, and sub- E sequendy, the masses, lovedDiana because she stood for the u nderlying values on w hich our society places immense significance — she was young, rich, glamorous, royal and wronged. Mother Teresa, on the other hand, shunned the atten­ tion o f the press and in her simple, white cotton sari w orked ceaselessly fo r the cause o f humanity. Bom Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje (then in Albania) on Aug. 26, 1910, the youngest o f three children, she real­ ized her “calling” early in life. Inspired by Yugoslav mis­ sionaries serving in East India, she took the veil and entered the Loreto Order, engaged in educating the poor. She reached the shores o f Calcutta in 1929 and from then on, her commitment to the cause never allowed her to look back. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, and in a heart-warming gesture, she requested th e celebration banquet be canceled and the money saved to be donated to charity. M y memories Of M other Theresa trace back to the first tim e I w alked into the M issionaries o f Charity hom e in Bombay as a 15-year-old. The smell o f disin­ fectant and boiling lentils hung to the row o f beds in the children’s Ward. M orning was a busy time and the nuns on duty directed us to start helping with feeding and cleaning. I was hesitant, not quite knowing what to do as I sto o d a w k w a rd ly a m o n g th e c lam o r. A bandoned and hom eless babies w ere crying in the Press article casts fraternity in ‘bad light’ The Fraternity o f Phi G am m a Delta would like to express our opinion on what was perceived to be a “front­ page new sw orthy issue” by the State Press and Tim Baxter. Mr. Baxter’s article on Phi Gamma Delta in the Sept. 10 issue o f the State Press contains some serious inaccuracies and half-truths that we would like addressed. Considering their obtuse relationship to the zoning vari­ ance, we cannot help but believe that Mr. Baxter’s article was merely a pretext for fraternity bashing. First, despite Mr. B axter’s implications, none of the criminal calls at 1040 Apache during Phi Gamma D elta’s occupancy involved the fraternity’s members. All have involved burglaries or vandalism by unknown suspects who caused damage to the house and the disappearance of some of its contents. The Fraternity has fully complied with all zoning restrictions placed on their activities by the city and continues to do so. That is why the owner of the Super 8 M otel refers to us as “good neighbors.” Indeed, the manager o f the Tempc Bowl reversed her position and spoke in favor of the variance in front o f the Board of Regulation. Second, the party o f Sept. 5 did not go past 1 a.m. We note that this fabrication is the only statem ent in the article not attributed to someone. This is not just a coincidence. In fact, the p arty was conducted with members o f GAARP (sic) and 1FC present and in full com pliance with both University and city o f Tempe regulations, a fact partially substantiated by Sgt. Dyas o f the Tempe Police Department. Third, what do hazing and other incidents from over ten years ago have to do with a zoning variance? Nothing, except to provide an avenue for Mr. Baxter to engage in yellow journalism. In truth, the Fraternity, at the request o f its own members, expelled brothers involved in hazing and other inappropriate activities in 1986-7. These mem­ bers then took their revenge by filing a complaint with the University and in Superior Court. How ironic that Mr. B axter should use only h alf o f the story to show the Fraternity in a bad light. We cannot help but believe that there is a hidden agenda here. The Fraternity has lifted itself from the ashes and has demonstrated true character. D ie Fraternity fully complies with all fraternal, municipal and University regulations and has a completely non-hazing pledge program. Each year the chapter donates hundreds o f man hours to local charities in the spirit o f volunteerism. We also maintain a GPA almost 20 percent higher than the men’s all-campus average. Yet all we get from our student publication is slanted coverage like this. We’d say it was disappointing, but we’ve come to expect i t It’s a shame that an issue like this made it to th e, State Press. There had to have been a more-newsworthy event that happened on Tuesday or in the past week that all students could learn from.

What joy does that bring to you? I work at Sun Devil Stadium and I find it absolutely ridiculous that you people feel it necessary to destroy someone else’s property. We work very hard to provide a stadium where you, as fans, can come to enjoy a football game. We work extremely hard to keep the field looking as great as it does. And you. as an ungrateful Cardinals fan, take this for granted and destroy their home. Let’s use an analogy. Let’s say that you are hosting a party at your house. At the end of the night, some people decide that they want to start putting holes in your floor because they want to save it as a memento. What if they start tearing down the banister on your - stairs and smash the pictures on your walls. Would you be very happy? Would you want those people to come back to your house? And you have the nerve, in your article, to ask the NFL to “compromise” with you to destroy property, because you want to have fun? How would you feel if those who just destroyed your home said to you, “Oh come on Will, we just want to have fun. ’Compromise.”’ Think about this tor a second. Granted, I am very happy that the Cardinals beat the Cowboys. But there is absolutely no reason what­ soever to act as childish and disrespectful as those Cardinal fans did on Sunday Lastly, do you even think of those innocent people who were injured in your so-called “gala” on Sunday? A security guard, who was just doing his job in trying to stqp your ludicrous, triad rush tor the goal post was badly injured. Oh, but wait, I forgot, you got the goat posts, forget about everyone else. I forgot how selfish this world has become, I guess thane is no respect or common sense in tins world anymore, and it is embar­ rassing for me to say that I am apart of this human race Witt stated in his article that the NHL has become the enemy of the Cardinal fans He asks the NFL to make fans a compromise to go on tire field to cele­ brate» victory If your enemy, as you say, is the NFL, then by God, stay home! Please do not come back because there will never be any conditions or compro­ mises set whereby you and your childlike followers will be handed a chance to go on the field. —-Phoenix city official, circa 1920 Joy Farmer Senior Business Management Timothy John Pietro President Phi Gamuna Delta (FIJI) e -m a il th e e d ito r ju z lm o @ cots and as I lifted a little girl into m y arms, it struck me how easy it was to give.

Her anti-abor­ tion stand also provoked severe criticism.

For some reason, the man gave police the go-ahead to search his pack, leading to the discovery of a “large quantity of marijuana.” He was transported and booked into Tempe City Jail for possessing marijuana for sale. • A 37-year-old man was stopped after he was riding his bike at night without a light (the fact that he had a small flashlight in his pocket did not deter police). While searching the man. police found a small bag of a white, powdery substance believed to be methamphetamines. Additionally, a records check turned up an outstanding warrant from the Tempe City Jail. Both he and his bike were impounded. He was later released after paying some fines.

He was held to see a magistrate. Real Stories From the State Press Police Scanner: • At around 11 a.m. Monday, a man reportedly had to fight off an attacking dog with a shovel. The dispatcher did not say if the man was a postal worker or what the condition of the dog was. • Also on Monday, at around 4:30 p.m., a hiker called police to report that a man was walking down a hiking trail in nothing more than a pair of hiking boots and a pink Speedo. • At around 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, a man in Phoenix was reportedly throwing his briefcase in the street and running between cars to fetch it.

Page 7 Friday, September 12, 1997 State P ress Tempe firefighters first in nation to earn accreditation B y B rian A nderson State P ress The Tempe Fire Department climbed to one of the high­ er rungs on the ladder of the fire-fighting profession Thursday night after becoming the first department in the country to be accredited. At a City Council ceremony, representatives from the Commission on Fire Accreditation International honored the city’s fire department with its first accreditation award since the group began entertaining applications in December, 1996. Mayor Neil Giuliano also presented Fire Chief C liff Jones with a plaque from Fire Chief M agazinefor Career Fire Chief of the Year. “I'm very proud of Cliff,” Giuliano said. “It is very, very worthy recognition of his professionalism, his commitment to the community and his performance as a fire chief.” In a humble response to being named Fire Chief of the Yea-, Jones shifted recognition to the people of the department. “it feels real good. I’m very pleased with the award,” he said. “The award is somewhat like accreditation in that there is a lot more than just me involved. It’s all of the members of the department.” Jones said the department had to meet 250 criteria and con­ duct a self-assessment to be accredited. After meeting those requirements, a three-member team from the Commission examined fire operations over a three-day period. Among other things, criteria for accreditation are: • Meet response-time standards. • Respond well to the needs of the community. • Meet fire-investigation standards. • Meet fire-station standards. • Meet personnel-training standards. Jones said the department was one of die first to apply for accreditation and the first to be given the honor. “This is a very good fire department,” Jones said. “For the most part, the things that are looked at ... Tempe was already in concert with. W e’ve been preparing this for some time.” ' .'

Cam eron M Hermann was shot about 6:20 a.m. Wednesday, police said. He was in serious condition as o f W e d n esd ay n ig h t at S c o tts d a le M em o rial Hospital-North. Harmann’s assailant, who remained at large, was driv­ ing when Harmann cut him off in traffic on his way to work, police spokesman Sgt. Mike Anderson Said. Harmann apparently was driving his Dodge pickup when he turned in front of the other pickup, a green latemodel Toyota or Mazda with a green camper shell. Another man was riding in the pickup. The driver of the green pickup apparently became enraged and. followed Harmann to Desert Canyon Door & Supply on the Scottsdale Airpark, police said. When Harmann got out of his truck, he met another em ployee, A lbert Kohnke, in front of the building. Harmann told Kohnke about his exchange with the man in the green pickup, prompting Kohnke to point to a similar pickup parked on the side of the road in front of the building, police said. Harmann saw that it was the same pickup he encoun­ tered on the road and walked to the driver and the passen­ ger. who were standing outside the truck, police said. Harmann and the driver, got into a heated argument, yelling at each other and pointing at each other's chests, Kohnke told police. The passenger, meanwhile, appeared “very scared” as the argument escalated, police Said.; The driver pulled out a handgun and fired a single shot at Harmann before hopping back in his truck and driving off, police said; Harmann stumbled back to his truck to drive himself to the hospital, but Kohnke intervened and drove Harmann to the emergency room, police said.

Friday, September 12,1997 P a g e8 State P ress New reports on Army sex harassment ‘not a pretty picture’ B y S usanne M . Schafer A ssociated P ress WASHINGTON -— Sexual harassment exists “through­ out the Army, crossing gender, rank and racial lines,” the service said today, faulting leaders who ignored problems and allowed such behavior to become commonplace. In a searing indictment of itself, the Army has released its largest-ever study of sexual harassment. The 10-month review was sparked by the last November’s allegations of widespread sexual misconduct at the U.S. Army Ordnance Center in Aberdeen, Md. It was made public by Army Secretary Togo West and Gen. Dennis Reimer, the Army chief of staff. At a Pentagon news conference, West sought to draw distinction between sexual harassment, which he said “continues to be a problem” throughout the service, and the sexual abuses — rapes and assaults —- that were found at Aberdeen. “What happened at Aberdeen was an aberration,” insisted West. _ _ White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry said that President Clinton believes the actions being taken by the Army will help prevent future sexual misconduct. He said the president “views with concern all allegations of sexual abuse and sexual misconduct.” The two-volume study was accompanied by an Army inspector general’s report on the Army’s training program, and a separate “action plan” aimed at fixing many of the problems turned Up by a senior review panel. It calls among other things to require a week of training for recruits on ethics and moral values. ‘‘Inappropriate behaviors are commonplace ... further, soldiers seem to accept such behaviors as a normal part of Army life,” the study added. It noted that sexual discrimination “is more common through the Army than is sexual harassment,” and that the Army’s attempts to educate its trainees and leaders on die issues are such a failure that many individuals have little understanding of them, as well as how to report or combat them. The report also found that the victims of sexual assault are given little assistance. Also, men believe that Army stan­ dards are inequitable arid that women are made to perform to less demanding standards. “It clearly is not a pretty picture,” commented Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., a member of the House National Security Committee. “I commend the Army for taking a hard, com­ prehensive look at how soldiers behave towards each other.” As a result, the service’s rank and file “uniformly do not have trust and confidence in their leaders,” the study says. The survey revealed that: • 78 percent of the women and 76 percent of the men interviewed had experienced “crude or offensive behavior” during the past year. • 72 percept of the women and 63 percent of the men had experienced “sexist behavior” and that 47 percent of the women and 30 percent of the men received “unwanted sexu­ al attention.” • 15 percent of the women and 8 percent of the men and experienced “sexual coercion” and that 7 percent of the women and 6 percent of the men experience “sexual assault.” While one two-star general and a number of mid-level officers have been reprim anded for the problem s at Aberdeen, top Army leaders were not expected to identify the disciplined officers by name. Maj. Gen. Robert Shadley, the former commander of the Aberdeen training base, has been sent a letter of reprimand and plans to contest it, said a Pentagon official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Overall, the panel cites the Army’s cutbacks and its lead­ ers focus on combat units, rather than its support and train­ ing units, as part of what has caused the problems, Harman, the congresswoman, said she hoped the steps undertaken by the service may change the Army and allevi­ ate “the serious breakdowns” in human relationships within the service. As part of its plan, the Army said pledged to put a new focus on training, revamping screening of potential drill sergeants, and add more chaplains to the ranks as well as add the additional week of training. A three-star general will be put in charge of overseeing training mutters at the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command, located at Fort Monroe, Va. And a former drill sergeant is expected to fill a new slot in the Arm y’s personnel departm ent to focus on drill sergeants and the cnicial role they play. The service is also expected to assign 100 hew lieu­ tenants to advanced training units to give company com­ manders more time to spend with troops, and to put addi­ tional chaplains at bases to advise young soldiers.

After Mary Sue McArthur had sex with Caseworker Frederic David Cohen of Phoenix, she got her little girl back. Cohen, a seven-year CPS employee, was placed on leave March 10, pending an investigation, and was fired June 18. For three months, Cohen controlled when and for how long McArthur would see h er daughter. He was assigned to recommend whether McArthur’s daughter should stay with her, “I thought, i have to do whatever this guy wants me to do.’” said McArthur, who told investigators she had sex with Cohen on several occasions late last year. McArthur, 39, filed a lawsuit Aug. 29 in U.S. District Court in Phoenix, charging that Cohen used his position to solicit sex. On the same day, however, CPS took her daugh­ o r you can a c c e s s ar* =r ■ K? Jsi uiirilililHriiuiiiifiiiiiiiii'Hiiiiiii'iiiiiiiii'iDimiruimiirmiimniiiminMiiMii Page 9 ter again. McArthur's next court hearing is Friday. She still does not know where her daughter is. “As a professional social worker, as someone who deals with families and children, any sexual contact i$ unethical,” said Mary Ault, an administrator of Children, Youth and Family Services for the Department of Economic Security, which oversees CPS. Cohen’s phone number is unlisted and he could not be reached for comment. But in a statement to CPS offi­ cials, Cohen said he “would like to make it known that poor discrétion was exercised” and that he “is extremely remorseful.” CPS officials cannot talk about McArthur’s case because of confidentiality laws, although they have asked the court to make the file public. Ault said that what has happened since Cohen left the case has nothing to do with what happened between McArthur and him.

LAS VEGAS — Plutonium found in a water well a mile from the site of a 1969 nuclear weapons test has prompted new debate over storing the nation’s radioac­ tive waste at a proposed repository north of here. "I believe this is another nail in the cof­ fin of the Yucca Mountain project,” Sen. Richard Bryan, D-Nev., said Thursday. Bryan and Sen. Harry Reid responded after two chemists with the nation's nuclear weapons laboratories reported traces of plu­ tonium in a well south of the site of an underground test code-nam ed Benham, conducted Dec. 19, 1969. Plutonium, a key element in nuclear weapons, is said to be the most toxic sub­ stance known. Nevada officials are fighting the pro­ posed repository, 100 miles north of Las Vegas, where radioactive waste from the nation’s nuclear power plants and some military waste would be stored. A major concern has been that the waste, which would remain at dangerous levels for 10,000 years, could eventually seep into water tables around the remote desert site. Chemists Annie Kersting of Lawrence L iv erm o re N a tio n al L ab o rato ry in C alifo rn ia and Joe T hom pson o f Los Alamos, N.M. National Laboratory, said the plutonium was detected in a monitor­ ing w ell on the N evada T est Site, 65 miles north of here. They presented their fin d in g s to the A m erican C hem ical Society convention here on Wednesday. ... "This is the first time we’ve seen pluto­ nium transported in ground w a te r,” Kersting said. After their presentation, they said the fact that plutonium was carried through ground water attached to very small mineral particles does, not mean plans for Yucca Mountain should be halted. "1 don’t know if it has any particular significance,” Thompson said.” The mate­ rial was deposited as a result of nuclear tests without engineered barriers” like those proposed for Yucca Mountain. Reid, D-Nev., disagreed; saying the report strengthens the argument that the repository "poses a grave risk of environ­ mental contamination.” "When you’re talking about something like plutonium, which is as dangerous a substance as you can find on the planet, m igrating through groundwater, you’re talking about the potential for an environ­ mental disaster,” Bryan said. Bryan questioned whether any barriers could be devised to prevent plutonium from leaking into the groundwater. Plutonium from a single nuclear test had moved nearly a mile in 20 years, Bryan said, while Yucca Mountain is meant to hold 77,000 tons of nuclear waste for up to 10,000 years. Erik O lds, an Energy D epartm ent spokesman with the Yucca Mountain pro­ ject, said the barriers would be both natural and manmade, with waste buried in "robust containers” deep in the mountain. To date, the DOE has spent $2.5 billion studying the suitability of Yucca Mountain. The agency is scheduled to provide a viability report to Congress next year, with a final recommendation expected in 2001 if the DOE finds the site suitable. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has final say on the su itab ility o f the site, and that decision could take two or three years after the license application is subm itted. With construction to fol­ low, Olds said it would be 2010 at the ea rliest before w aste could be put in place at the site. GEICO inhere a driuer uiith a past still has a future.

ATLANTA — AIDS has lost its place as the No. I killer of the nation’s young and middle-age adults, bolster­ ing the government’s optimism that the deadly epidemic is slowing down. The disease is now the second leading cause of death for people between 25 and 44, driven by a 26 percent drop overall in the rate of AIDS deaths between 1995 and 1996, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. Accidents, such as falls and car crashes, are the leading cause of death for the group that accounts for more than half the nation’s workforce, Cancer is No. 3, the CDC said. The drop, included in the CDC’s i 996 report on births and deaths, adds to encouraging earlier reports. Last year, the actual number of AIDS deaths declined for the first time since the epidemic began in 1981. . “It’s reassuring,” said Dr. John Ward, the CDC’s chief of AIDS surveillance. “You like to have multiple studies saying the same thing before you begin to consider what you’re seeing is indeed the truth.” The AIDS death rate in 1996 fell to 11.6 deaths per 100,000 people, down 26 percent from a rate of 15.6 the previous year, the CDC said. For adults between 25 and 44, the rate fell to 27.2 deaths from a rate of 36.9 in 1995. In 1994, when AIDS took over the top spot, the rate Was 36.7 in that age group. Ward tempered the news by noting that thousands of people are still living with AIDS and taking drugs that take a huge toll on the body. Among the other gains in public health that the CDC report also chronicled was the drop in the teen birth rate. It fell 12 percent in 1996 to 54.7 births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 19, down from a rate of 62.1 births per 1,000 in 1991. The rate dropped 14 percent among girls between 10 and 14. The CDC reported earlier this year that fewer teens are having sex and that condom use is increasing. “You have a whole stew pot of unconnected reasons,” said Sarah Brown, director of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. “We have a re-energized advoca­ cy community, the media, conservative leaders are talking about this. There seems to be a growing movement to pro­ tect young women.” The CDC said the infant mortality rate reached a record low of 7.2 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1996. And it said 82 percent of pregnant women sought prenatal care in their first trimester, up slightly from 81 percent in 1995. Among other findings; * Life expectancy in the United States reached 76.1 years in 1996, up slightly from 75.8 years in 1995. • The nation’s homicide rate dropped 11 percent to 8.4 homicides per 100,000 people in 1996, down from 9.4 in 1995. The CDC’s report was based on information from birth and death certificates filed in each state. College student collides w ith bus, dies HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) -— A college freshman who last month rode 420 miles to School on a bicycle was fatally injured in a bicycle accident. Ben Buckhout, 18, of St. Paul, Minn., Was taking part in a Hope College physical education class when his bike struck a city bus Wednesday. Witnesses told police he was trying to stop when the bicycle slid under the rear wheels of the small bus, which was leaving a bus station; He died in a Grand Rapids hospital. y R B I HEW LETT® m S nM P A C K A R D Is an Affirmative Action employer dedicated to workforce diversity. “This incomprehensible loss has left us numb,” Hope College President John Jacobson said. Buckhout and his father, Don, spent six days in August riding from St. Paul to Hope College in Holland, 30 miles west of Grand Rapids. “It was a good time for us to spend together before we have-to say goodbye to him for several months,” Don Buckhout said when they arrived Aug. 21.

DAVIE, Fla. --- Former ASU football star Derrick Rodgers knows a challenge when he sees one. Facing the iwo-time defending NCAA champion Nebraska Comhuskers was a major test. Moving from rush end in college to a weak-sidc/pass rush linebacker in the NFL was the next big hurdle he crossed. Now, Rodgers and the Miami Dolphins must go to famed Lambeau Field in Green Bay to play the reigning Super Bowl champs. This is “a chance for the Dolphins to prove to themselves that we’re riot a flash-in-the-pan type team ,” Rodgers Said following Thursday's practice at the Dolphins' training complex at Nova Southeastern University. This is a chance to prove “that we can compete against the rest of the league. When you go up against top-notch competition, you want to perform your best. It's a very good exposure for the Dolphins,” and for Rodgers. Of course, he hais shined in the spotlight before. During the Sun Devils’ shocking 19-0 thrashing of Nebraska last September. Rodgers collected three key sacks and pestered Husker quarterback all night. Since Rodgers, who amassed a team-high 12 sacks for the 1996 Pac-10 champs, joined the Dolphins, he has brought his blue-collar work ethic with him “I approach each game the same way . regardless of who we are playing or what the situation is,” he said. “I’m going to make sure I get in there (film room) and get a lot of film Work done. You have to find some way to get an edge over them, because everybody in the league is pretty much on the same level.” Which is why Rodgers gives 110 percent — on and off the field, “When he came to practice, it is for work and work only,” ASU head coach Bruce Snyder said Last season's consensus P ac-10 andNational Coach of the Tear also pointed out that Rodgers’ “old age” has been an advantage for him. “Well, in my opinion, there’s obviously a break-off point here, but two men: one being older and one being younger: the older man tends to win just about everything,” he said, “He’s really mature and Stable. His maturity has really helped him.” How so? The 25-year-old rookie spent four years in the Air Force after graduating from high school. It was during this time that Rodgers learned to roll with the punches. “I’m used to change,” he said. “I just adjust with it." This simple outlook has made him one of Miami coach Jimmy Johnson’s favorite rookies. “He has the ability to be a special player,” he told die Palm Beach Post during preseason training camp. “(New York Jets rookie James) Farrior, he’s a good football player. Right now though, I’d take Rodgers over any linebacker in the draft” Maybe J. J, is on to something. • Rodgers has been, to say the least, a oneman wrecking crew. 'A fter two, games, Rodgers is Miami's co-leader in total tackles (18) and sacks (one for -11 yards) and he leads the team' with two pass deflections. Although he was somewhat overlooked n die draft (a third-round selection) Snyder feels Rodgers is right at home in Miami’s system.

Washington seeks revenge for both ‘96 Cardinals debacles B y J osh D e Fam io State P ress The main character's gone. So’s the director. And the goat. Even the stage has changed, but memories remain for the Arizona Cardinals (1-1) as the team prepares for a rematch of one of the most memorable game in NFL histo­ ry with the Washington Redskins (1-1). “You always talk about seeing a game like that on TV, hearing about it,” middle linebacker Eric Hill said. “But being a part o f it, and being there and watch it happen before your eyes, that was one of the wildest things I’ve ever witnessed. People still talk about that game.” The game, which the Cardinals won 37-34 in overtime, saw Arizona rally from a 14-point deficit behind 522 pass­ ing yards from the since-released Boomer Esiason. Both teams traded overtime misses before Kevin Butler connect­ ed on a 32-yard field goal with 33 seconds remaining in overtime. The im pact o f that game is still felt today. The Cardinal’s offensive coordinator, Jim Fassel, has since moved on to become head coach of the New York Giants. And the Redskins defensive coordinator, Ron Lynn, who oversaw one of the worst defensive performances in league history, has since been replaced. More importantly, however, the loss sent the Redskins reeling, and the team which had been 7-2 at the time ended up missing the playoffs. “That was the beginning of their demise,” Hill said. “They were on a roll, after that loss, they just fell in to the tank.” Of course, the Cardinal’s big win — coupled with Arizonans 27-26 win at Sun Devil Stadium last December — leaves head coach Vince Tobin concerned that: the Redskins will be out for revenge come Sunday. “They’ve got enough motivation of. their Own,” Tobin said. “Of course, the game up there at Washington was really a hcartbreaker to them. 1 think it ruined their season. I’m sure their looking to pay back the Cardinals.” While the Redskins desire for revenge ranks high on the Cardinals’ list of worries, the teammust also battle another enemy. Themselves.

Sun Devil volleyball team gets first test B y Lori H aro State P ress The ASU volleyball team plans to disprove the saying “Bad things happen in threes”, as they head to Santa Baibara to play in the University of Califomia-Santa Barbara (UCSB) Judy Bellomo Classic, in an attempt to win their third tournament in a row. Last weekend die Sun Devils (7-0) swept all of their matches at the Ladyjack Invitational in Texas. The weekend before, ASU opened their season with a Phoenix Airport Hilton/Sun Devil Challenge tournament win. However, the Judy Bellomo Classic will put ASU to the true test, as the team faoes its toughest competition yet The teams the Sun Devils will face at the Classic include UCSB that is ranked No. 7 in the nation and No. 15 Loyola Marymount University (LMU). The University erf South Florida and Portland State will also play in the tournament, ASU begins action today as they take on LMU at 10:30 a m and Smith Florida at 7 p.m. Saturday the team faces Portland State at 10:30 am. and UCSB at 7 p.m. ASU has already faced Portland State this season, when defeated them in the Phoenix Airport Hilton/Sun Devil Challenge. The Sun Devils beat Portland State in four games, 157,15-8,14-16,15-11. Senior outside hitter Terri Cox had 22 kills and 18 digs and junior outside hitter Jen Lucero had 14 kills and 14 digs in the match. “They’re (Portland State) a scrappy team and they know what to expect from us now,” Cox said. While, ASU has not faced South Florida, they did beat Central Florida last weekend and Central Florida beat South Florida in a three game to two match this season. The test of the teams should be considerably more conqietitive. ‘The competition will be a lot tougher,” sophomore opposite Jamie Peck said. “We feel confident, but we have our work cut out for us.” ASU is not nationally ranked, but if they do well in this tour­ nament, especially if they beat UCSB and LMU, it would be pos­ sible that they could be ranked within the top-25. Ranked or not, ASU head coach Patti Snyder-Park has said before that being ranked is not what concerns ho*. She just wants the team to play at Pac-10 caliber. ‘How we play against these teams will be a good indication of how well we’ll play in the Pac-10 this season,” senior middle block»' Kirstin Mattson said. The team will not face any Pac-10 foes until Sept 19, but as of Sept 7 Lucero was second in the Pac-10 for digs per game with 3.95, Mattson is fourth in blocks with 1.61 bpg, Cox is fifth in kills with 4.42 kpg and fteshman Michelle Mortensen is third in service aces with 0.60 per game. For now though, the team will focus on this final tournament and tty to finish strong before heading into their Pac-10 season. “This (the tournament) is to see if we can hang with the big time,” Cox said. “ We’ll just {day our game. We just need to play on our side and not let the other team get to us.” Pat Shannahan/Stata Press S e n io r K irstin M attso n (3), s o p h o m o re Jo ly n n F aatulu (5) a n d th e r e s t o f th e S u n Devil volleyball s q u a d Will g e t th e ir first t e s t o f th e s e a s o n w h e n th e y trav e l to C alifornia.
