Tem pe’s proposed tougher rental code, shot down on its
way to a public referendum in A ugust, may soon fly again.
I f a ll goes w e ll, a com prom ise could be reached by
Friday and the controversial proposal cou ld be back in
front o f the C ity C o u n cil as early as the O c t. 16 issue
review session.
The plan, meant to toughen the rules governing Tempe
apartments and rental houses in an effort to improve them,
was sent to committee by the Tempe C ity Council on A u g.
7 after being challenged by local activists. John Bebbling
and Hut Hutson, representatives o f the opposing sides, have
been duking out the details.
N o one is exactly sure what the compromise is — only
Bebbling and Hutson have been involved in negotiations.
C o u n cil members have confidence the two sides can
com e to an agreement acceptable to everyone, said G ary
D avis, Tempe neighborhood program management assis­
tant. He added that the council hopes to have the program
up and running by January 1993.
One o f the mpst<hotly disputed portions o f the code, the
‘-“ fetrdfft’* cM sO , IS Expected to rem ain, Tempe V ice M ayor
Jo e Lew is said, adding that he had not yet seen the new
code.
The retrofit clause w ould require owners o f older proper­
ties to com ply with the new rules. W ithout it, only new
developments would have to meet the tougher code.
“ Retrofit is very important and my understanding is that
it was going to stay in ,” Lew is said. “ Probably I would sup­
port it (without the retrofit clause) to get it implemented
and toughen it later. But I feel strongly it won’ t have the
strength to make change without the retrofit.”

Hurricane Pauline arrives at M exico’s coast
B y N ik o P r ice
A sso c ia t e d P ress
H U A T U L C O , M e x ico — H urricane Paulin e roared
across M exico’ s P acific Coast W ednesday, toppling trees
and sm all hom es w ith w inds up to 120 mph as 30-foot
waves battered the shoreline.
A s the tow erin g w aves crash ed over a cau se way',
tourists huddled in hotels and hundreds o f M exicans sought
refuge in emergency shelters. Pieces o f roofing flew in the
heavy winds and streets filled with chest-deep water.
“ W e have the eye right on shore,” said Ed Rappaport at
the U .S . National Hurricane Center in M iam i.
Pauline hit land west o f H uatulco, not far from Puerto
A n gel, and barreled northwest at a clip o f about 7 mph,
raking a wide swath o f coastline.
Twelve inches or more o f rain was forecast amid warn­
ings o f possibly life-endangering flash flooding, mudslides
and tidal surges.
Red Cross workers reported no immediate injuries, but
at least 30 humble homes built o f plywood and cardboard
were blown away in Huatulco.
' Palm trees were uprooted from sid ew alks, dow ned
power lines danced in die w ind and workers abandoned
earlier attempts to remove fallen trees with machetes and
chain saws.
' -V
Rappaport said E l N ino could be blamed for Pauline’ s
fury, noting that the clim ate phenomenon that led to a far
warmer P acific Ocean this year seems to have given punch
to the hurricane.
A t the same tim e, E l N ino appears to be behind the
quieter-than-norm al hurricane a ctiv ity on the A tla n tic

A sso cia t e d P ress
W A S H IN G T O N — In v itin g another
veto from President Clin ton , Congress sent
the W hite H ouse a b ill W ednesday that
would make it a crim e for doctors to per­
form certain late-term abortions.
C lin to n vetoed a sim ilar b ill last year.
“The president’ s position has not changed,”
a spokesman for him said W ednesday.
The H ouse passed the b ill on 296-132
vote, more titan two-thirds majority needed
to override the anticipated vote. The Senate
has passed the b ill tw ice, but on neither
occasion was there a two-thirds veto-proof

majority among its 100 members.—
Senate M ajority Leader Trent L o tt, R M is s ., said W ednesday he believed there
was a “ real opportunity” this year to over­
turn the veto,
B ut R ep . C harles C an ad y, R -F la ., the
C h ief sponsor, sounded a less optim istic
note. “ W e face a battle in the Senate,” he
said after the vote.

Third times a charm: Russian cargo
ship docks with space station Mir

Deputy M ission Control Chief Viktor Blagov attaches the model o f the Progress cargo ship to
the m odal of the Mir space station, near Moscow, W ednesday. A day later than planned, the
unmanned Progress M-36 cargo sh ip carrying a back-up computer and other crucial supplies
docked with Mir W ednesday.

M O SC O W — A Russian cargo ship fer­
rying crucial supplies achieved a problemfree docking with M ir on W ednesday, b o l­
stering Russian M ission Control as It tries
to put the space statio n ’ s, past troubles
behind it.
The unmanned Progress M -36, carrying
a back-up com puter, docked on automatic
pilot a few minutes ahead o f schedale, said
flight control ch ief V ladim ir Solovyov.
It was the first successful docking using
a new procedure that had failed on two past
attem pts, ca u sin g the crew to sw itch to
manual controls, he said.
“ A fter each failure we analyzed the math
... and adjusted the dockin g procedure,”
said Solovyov, briefing reporters at M ission

docking “ very clean .”
The crew planned to wait until Thursday
to open the hatch, Solovyov said.
The cargo ship docked using a new type
o f antenna that use less energy. The proce­
dure had been tried twice before on space

capsules bringing cosmonauts to the M ir.
The docking had originally been planned
for T uesday,: but was delayed because an
old Supply ship fille d w ith garbage occu­
pied die docking port and failed to detach
on commahd M onday.
; T h e'«g w o f the space station discovered
that they had neglected to properly unhook
oiftr o f t 6 laitches holding the ship to the
port. A fter the latch was released, the ship
was detached; smoothly Tuesday,
The Progess M -36, which was launched
Sunday and had been w aiting in orbit for
the docking, is carrying more than 2 tons o f
equipment and supplies, including drinking
water and fu el.
The U-.S. space shuttle A tlan tis, w hich
left M ir last w eek, delivered a new comput­
er and other important equipment, including
sealant fo r holes punched when a cargo
ship slam m ed in to M ir’ s Spektr m odule
during a practice docking in June.
Solovyov says the crew hopes to repair
all the damage to the Spektr before the end
o f the year. Three m ore sp acew alks are
planned to fix the dam age.

TAs, professors hired based on performance
S t u d e n t s ’ t im

M ark Pollock’s Sept. 24 colum n betrays ignorance on so
many levels that it is difficult to decide what to focus on. I’ll let
the feminists deal with him cm their own terms; I’d like simply
to correct a couple o f false statements concerning the role and
qualifications o f professors and teaching assistants at A S U .
First, he is certainly entitled to his opinion regarding die
attitudes o f teaching assistants. Regarding our qualifications,
how ever, I'm not sure from what urban-legend farm he
sowed the nonsense that if TA s “ were [qualified to teach],
they'd be professors, not unemployed.” T A s, as everyone (or
almost everyone) knows, arc professors-in-training. We are
chosen from among the most promising graduate students to
assist professors by grading papers, tutoring students and
running breakout sections.
The “ s ta ff’ members to whom he refers, who actually
teach their own classes, are students in the most advanced
stages o f doctoral candidacy. They have com pleted all o f
their course work. Their only remaining obstacle to becomng professors is com pletion o f their doctoral dissertation,
■k ite again, Pollock is entitled to his opinion about the atti­
tudes o f T A s, But to refer to us as “ unemployed” is about as

accurate as ca llin g a resident in an em ergency room an
“ unemployed doctor.” I know I’ m only a T A , but I did learn
somewhere that journalists, even opinion colum nists, should
partake in research to avoid factual misstatements.
Regarding the role o f professors, his quest for account­
ability is a noble one, but it betrays a fundamental misunder­
standing o f the function o f a large, research university. He
says that “professors need to be reminded that the main rea­
son they get a state check each week is because they’ve been
in a classroom, not at an open bar/educational conference.”
Though he states this as fact, it is nothing more than w ishful
thinking. A t a large research university (and A S U is one o f
the largest), the most important criterion for tenure evalua­
tion is scholarly Work, not teaching. This primarily includes
publication in respected journals, but also includes those
“ Education in Vegas Symposium s” to which he refers. I f he
is not com fortable with this, he is not alone. But it is hardly a
battle to take up with the professors.

kill meaningless classes
R igh t on to B rian A ry and his article “ Students
want courses designed with them in mind” (O ct. 3).
There is how ever one area he failed to sp o tlig h t...
time-wasting classes. I am currently taking D S C 121,
which requires five hours o f in-class studio time per
w eek, as w ell as an extremely boring lecture tacked on
for good measure. In this class we are forced to com ­
plete dozens o f m eaningless assignm ents using a
medium that has largely been superseded in its effec­
tiveness by computers.
I believe that the purpose o f tins class is to weed out
the people that don’t really want to be there, but I think
this approach is a bad one. 1 would simply like to ask
all o f the professors and anybody else involved with
the design o f curricula (if that's a word; if not. you
know what I mean) to keep in mind the fact that stu­
dents' time is as valuable as theirs, sometimes more so.

people forget that when they try to lump us

the news to her mother.
“ It was like she didn’t even hear me; she
just went on with her conversation," Milsom
said. “Then a week later she told me that she

Pèter Ovington, a 26-year-old senior his­

“ I had a variety o f responses, from my

“The most hurtful thing to hear is that this

“ This is one day that we can be visible to

The forum, hosted by Chris Arbogast. a

for questions from the audience after the

“ It’ s my job to protect the panel and get

question in a rude manner, you want to put

F re sh m a n re te n tio n rate im p ro v in g
By C h r is P a ssam a n o
S t a t e P ress
T h is year A S U has the highest number o f freshm en
returning for their sophomore year in history.
The freshman rétention rate is 75 percent, up from 71
percent a year ago. Student retention at every level o f the
University is also up.
“ This is the single biggest increase in retention since we
started the Freshman Year Experience (FY E ) and tracked it
close,” A S U President Lattie C oor said.
Coor said he felt this is the most important indicator as
to whether students are adapting to the University.
Su ccess in the first year go in g into the next year is
equally important to the overall success o f both the student
and University, Coor added.
The numbers have risen sharply in the last decade.
“ W e were in the 60s (percentage-wise) fo r quite some
tim e,” Coor said. “ But we are getting closer to where we

want to be.”
Even though the rate is up to 75 percent, University o ffi­
cials would still like to see it higher.
“ I would like to see Us get into the 80s,” Coor said. “ I f
we get into the 80 to 85s, then you’ re really signaling a stu­
dent match with the U niversity.”
Coor attributes the increase to the efforts to bring in the
best students possible and offer as many different programs
to make their first year at A S U a good one.
“ W e are getting increasingly committed students,” Coor
said. “ The numbers o f programs for support, counseling,
campus com munities help students.”
The hope is to continue raising the number o f freshmen
retained by the University.
“ I believe it is important that we take even more vigor­
ous steps to improve student persistence and to increase our
overall graduation rate,” Coor said.

The study was conducted from 1994 to 1996. In the
enforcem ent tow ns, stores were barred from sellin g to
youngsters under 18. B ut they did not have to ask fo r an
ID from everyone who looked young.
T h e researchers tested com p lian ce by sending 16year-o ld girls' in to stores to b u y cig a rette s. T he g irls
could not lie about their age or show fake ID s.
B y the study’ s end, 18 percent o f the stores in the towns
with enforcement were still selling cigarettes to the decoys,
compared with 55 percent in the other towns.
How ever, a survey o f 17,603 high school students found
that enforcement did nothing to control teen-age sm oking.
Both before and after enforcement, 15 percent o f students
said they had bought cigarettes within the past month. A fter
enforcem ent, the number o f daily smokers actually rose

B y D a n ie l Q . H a n e y
A s s o c ia t e d P r ess
B O S T O N — W ould health costs go down if everyone
stopped sm o kin g? D o es cra ck in g dow n on underage
cigarette sales make teen-agers smoke less? ,
I f the answ er to both questions seems like an obvious
“ y e s,” think again.
Tw b new studies support the contrary view .
O ne looked at the econom ic im pact if every sm oker
went cold turkey tom orrow . The conclusion: H ealth care
costs w ould drop for a w hile but w ould then inexorably
rise for the sim ple reason that nonsm okers liv e longer.
The other study found that even with strict — and seem­
in g ly e ffe c tiv e — enforcem ent o f law s against sellin g
cigarettes to anyone under 18, teen-agers can still get them
easily, and they smoke ju st as much, if not more.
Both works challen ge sim ple assum ptions about the
causes and consequences o f sm oking. T hey were pub­
lished in Thursday’ s issue o f the New England Journal

o f M edicine.
A n estim ated 3,000 children take up cigarettes each
day in the U n ited S ta te s. M akin g cigarettes harder to
buy is the cornerstone o f a new effort by the Food and
D rug A dm inistration to keep them out o f the hands o f
teen-agers.
The F D A rules, w hich w ent into e ffe c t last February,
require stores to get photo id en tificatio n from anyone
who looks younger than 27. A federal goal is to have at
least 80 percent o f stores obey the law s.

slightly from 11 percent to 13 percent.
R igo tti said that even a few stores w illin g to sell to
te e n -a g e rs ca n su p p ly m any o f th o se w ho w ant to
sm oke. Furtherm ore, stores that w on’ t sell to thè decoys
som etim es still sell to youngsters they know .
“There is no one silver bullet,” said Gregory Connolly,
head o f M assachusetts’ tobacco control program. “ Reduced
access alone won’ t cure youth sm oking.”
A ls o n eeded, he sa id , are h igh er cig arette p rice s,
antism oking cam paigns in the m edia and stiffe r cleanair rules.
The other study in the jou rn al challen ges the oftencited b e lie f that sm oking drives up health costs,-sin ce it
contributes to can cer, heart disease and lu n g disease.
W hile sm okirig clearly is unhealthy, the study found it
may not cost m ore in the end, because sm okers die so

Adopted girls alw ays troublé, m om says
B y K a th leen S a m pey
A sso c ia t e d P ress
N EW Y O R K -— A Phoenix woman testified W ednesday
that one o f the two R ussian g irls she and her husband
adopted in M ay cried from the first moment they met her,
and the second became obstreperous within days.
Karen T horne’ s testim ony cam e after Fam ily Court
Ju d g e Josep h Lau ria ruled that the city had presented
enough evidence to proceed w ith six allegations that the
T h orn es slapped th e g irls around on the flig h t hom e
from M oscow .
A seventh allegation — that the girls Were struck with
metal eating utensils — was not backed up, the judge said.
M rs. Thom e said d ifficu lties began when she and her
husband, R ich ard, m et the 4-year-olds on M ay 19 at an
orphanage in Voronezh, about 12 hours north o f M oscow
by train.
She said one ch ild, a blonde, cried from the start and the
oth er, a brunette, was in itia lly warm but then becam e
aggressive and hard to manage, The court has barred dis­
clo sin g the names o f the children, who were not related
before the adoption.
A t their first m eeting, the brunette “ cam e running but
with hugs and kisses and sm iles,” M rs. Thom e, 43, testi­
fie d . “ W e kn elt dow n and hu gged h er. She c a lle d us
momma and poppa.”
T he b lon d e crie d and resisted th e ir e ffo rts to get
acquainted, M rs. Thom e said . The Thornes speak only
English; the children only Russian.

A few days later, on a shopping trip in M oscow with the
Thornes and a Russian host fa m ily , the brunette began
behaving “ aggressively,” M rs. Thom e said. The Child run
up to strangers, kicked them and grabbed things, prompting
scold in gs and fin a lly a sw at on the backside from the
Russian-speaking host mother.
Then on M ay 28, w hile w aiting to board the plane to
New Y ork, the brunette became jealous and pulled ah ear­
ring o ff a flight attendant who was kneeling to soothe the
weeping blonde, M rs. Thom e said. W hen the brunette was
upbraided by the Russian-speaking fligh t attendant, she too
wept, So both girls were crying as they boarded the plane.
M rs. Thom e said she and her husband had 35 hours o f
parenting classes before leaving for Russia.
During a morning o f direct testim ony, the questioning
by M rs. Thom e’ s law yer, Harvey Jacobs, did not touch on
witnesses’ accounts o f slaps and other physical and verbal
abuse o f the girls.
O n M onday, three Texas men who were on the fligh t
with their own new ly adopted children said they saw the
Thornes hit the girls, th e y gave statements to authorities
when the plane landed at Kennedy Airport.
The Thornes were arrested on landing and the girls were
p laced in foster hom es, first in N ew Y o rk and'now in
A rizona, where the adoptive parents have been permitted
supervised visits.
The couple, free on b ail, have been charged with assault,
harassment and endangering the welfare o f the children.

Tucson woman sues
rappers for injuries
sustained at concert
T U C SO N (AP) — A Tucson woman has filed a law­
suit against the rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, say­
ing one o f the group's rappers hurt her when he jumped
into the audience, during a concert last year.
- Lupila Duarte, 29, is seeking unspecified damages for
the neck and back injuries she says she sustained when
rapper W ish {tone jum ped o ff the Tucson Convention
Center’s stage at a concert on O c l I I , 1996.
Bone Thugs-N-H arm ony, known for its rapid-fire
harm onies, is a top-selling rap group, selling 5 m il­
lion copies o f its 1995 album ‘E 1999 Eternal ”
In addition to W ish Bone and the rest o f the group,
Duarte is also suing the group’s record label. Ruthless
Records; its prom oter, Haym on Entertainm ent; and
the city o f Tucson, which owns the convention center.
D uarte file d a $250,000 claim w ith the city o f
Tucson earlier this year, alleging there weren’t ade­
quate safeguards for people attending the concert,
according to city documents.
T o ry Anderson, the city’s risk manager, said he inves­
tigated the claim and found the city wasn’t negligent

S tate P ress
W hen the C ardinals made T exas A & M running back
Leeland M cElroy the 32nd pick in the 1996 draft, some had
him pegged as ‘one o f the most exciting all-purpose backs in
college football since Barry Sanders.’
That’s quite a bit o f pressure.
“ I see him h avin g p o te n tia l,” said o ffe n siv e tack le
Lomas Brown, who blocked for Sanders while a member o f
the Detroit Lions. “ A lot o f backs come in with the poten­
tial to do good in the system, but living up to it is different
There’ s very few that come out and live up to i t ” So far, M cElroy has yet to live up to the Sanders compar­
isons. Sanders has rushed for at least 1,000 yards in each o f
his N FL seasons, while M cElroy has totaled only 586 yards in
his first 21 games.
“ He’ s a guy that came out o f college as a ju n io r,” head
coach Vince Tobin said. “ He really only started one year down
there. He was late reporting, played a few games last year. H e’s
a very, very young football player.”
Despite M cElroy’ s youth — and a long holdout before his
rookie season —- he was given the starting tailback job when
veteran Garrison Hearst was cut. H e made an im m ediate
impact rushing for 67 yards in die Cardinals opening-day loss
to Indianapolis.
He sputtered after that, gaining a total o f five yards in his
next two starts. He was eventually benched when LeShon
Johnson broke through for 214 yards in Week 4 last season.
M cKlroy’s totals for his rookie season: 305 yards on 89 car­
ries. one touchdown. Not exaedy Barry Sanders-type numbers.
“Leeland’s starting o ff a lot slower than Barry started in his
first two years,” Brown said. “ But hopefully he’ll find a way to
turn it on, and really get on that plateau that your Bany’ s and
your Emmitt Smith’s and all those guys are at.”
It didn't look like M cElroy would reach that plateau early this
season. He gained die starting job after an impressive perfor­
mance against the Chicago Bears in the preseason. But he strug­
gled, averaging only 48.5 yards per game over the Cardinals’
first four games, although he did score two touchdowns.
It didn't help that Hearst has excelled as a member o f the
San Francisco 49eiC Rum ors began circu latin g that the
Cardinals were going to obtain Tampa Bay’s Errict Rhett, a for­
mer 1,000-yard rusher, to replace M cElroy at tailback.
“ He showed a tremendous amount o f professionalism,” full­
back I^arry Centers said about M cElroy’s reaction to the Rhctttalk. "He just continued to work hard and work on his game.
One big key to lasting in this business is not to worry about the
things you don’ t control.” ;
“I don’t really don’t have anything to say about (the Rhett
rumors),” M cElroy said. “ 1 don’t know what the plans were.
I’m just here to play ball, and that's what I’m going to do. I
have no control over other things.”
But M cElroy did have control over his own performance,
and he showed it with a rousing perform ance during last

Jorem y H ein/State P re ss

Leeland M cElroy (30) looks for daylight while running last Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. M cElroy had a season-best 5.8
yards per can y against Minnesota, but has yet to live up to pre-draft expectations.

Sunday’s loss to Minnesota. Despite missing part o f the game
with an injured ankle, M cElroy tallied 87 yards on only 15
carries. He even squirted into the end zone for a 2-yard touch­
down run, but the play was nullified by a holding penalty.
“ I think as a unit, our offense played well,” M cElroy said o f
his big day. “W e were able to pass the ball, we were able to run
the ball. A s a whole we played well on offense.”
“ I think it was a combination o f everything,” Brown said.
“ Because the O -Line, we had some holes for him. He hit the
holes, too. That’s what it has to be.”
The C ard in als must hope M cE lro y can turn in more
Sunday’s like last weeks for two reasons. Ranked 26th in the
N FL rushing, Arizona needs someone to pile up the yards and
open up the passing game.
“ I f he can run the ball,” quarterback Kent Graham said.

“And do that consistently, it makes my job a whole lot easier.
Because people can’t pin back their ears and come after me.”
Maybe even more important, the Cardinals play in the N FC
East, a division usually associated with big-time running backs
like John Riggins, Tony Dorsett, and Emmitt Sm ith. A mar­
quee running back is something the Cardinals have lacked for
the past decade.
“That’ s a goal o f m ine, to have a real good season this
year,” M cElroy said. ‘T o be up there with 1,000-yard rushers.
But right now, I’m just taking it one game at a time. Hopefully,
in due time, God will bless me to become that type o f back.”
M cElroy’ s going to have every opportunity to prove he is
that type o f back. W ith the trading deadline passed, and Rhett
still a Tampa Bay Buccaneer, only M cElroy can ran him self
out o f the starting job.

Tailback thinks that trash-talking Trojans teams’ tonic

PatShannahan/State Press

Senior tailback Michael Martin (shown here against New Nexick» State) said the Sun D evils’ run­
ning game will get back on track Saturday against visiting U SC,

B y E d O d ev e n
S tate P ress
One o f the trademarks o f A S U football
during the Bruce Snyder Era has been the
squad’ s ability to .run the football effective­
ly^ « 4 5 -?
Saturday’ s lim ited rushing output (51 net
yards) at W ashington was the team’ s lowest
since O ct. 22,1994 again st. .
R ejuven ated senior ta ilb a ck M ich ael
M artin expects the Sun D evils’ productivity
to return against the “ trash-talking” Trojans
Saturday.
“ W e ju st got to go out there and do what
we do best,” M artin said W ednesday after
the evening practice. “ A nd that’ s run the
b all. They’ ve been talking trash about how
they are goin g to stop the run, and how
they’ ve been all year to com e back in our
stadium and all that.
“ W e re a lly aren’ t p ayin g it no m ind.
T h at’ s the kind o f team they are, where
they are going to talk trash about what they
are going to do. W e are just going to go out
there and play football and leave die trash
talking until after the gam e.”
F o r M a rtin , th is w ill be h is firs t fu ll
game since suffering a m ild concussion at
O regon State tw o weeks ago . H e did not
practice last w eek, and played sparingly in
the fourth quarter at H usky Stadium (four
carries for 21 yards).
The easy-going T exan , who said h e’ s
back to 100 percent, is anxious to return to
top form.
“ I ’ m ready to g o ,” he sa id . “ T h ere’ s

n othin g h o ld in g me b ack . T h is is a b ig
gam e, and I’m up to the challenge.”
M artin also believes Snyder has installed
a solid corps o f bangers in front o f him .
“ W e are a real focused group now ,” he
s a id . “ T h e co a ch e s h ave m ade som e
changes and I think they are going to stick
with ‘em . That’ s the line (left guard K yle
M urphy, le ft tackle M arvel Sm ith, center
Grey Ruegam er, right tackle V ictor Leyva
and right guard G len G able) and they are
going to do a good jo b this weekend.”
They better.
“ T h is gam e is a real b ig deal to u s,”
M artin said. “ It’ s do or die now If we lose,
We are p ractically out o f the race to the
Rose B ow l. I f we w in, then we still got a
shot.”
■
Z o n i n g in o n . . .
A major focal point o f practice this week
has been im proving the team’ s scoring pro­
duction from the 20-yard line and in. A fter
last week’ s lost to the H uskies, it became
even more apparent that the offense was not
getting the jo b done.
T he Sun D e v ils spent nearly an hour
W ednesday working on red-zone d rills, and
have spent considerable tim e a ll week in
practice working on this.
“ W e’ve have not been very good when
we get the b all in scoring position,” Snyder
said . “ W e tend to be stopped, k ick fie ld
goals or miss field goals.
“ I think our biggest thing we need to do

USC cornerback McCutcheon
among nations’ elite covermen
B y M a tt P a u lso n
S tate P ress
Eighteen years ago, Daylon McCutcheon
watched from the crib in his living room as
U S C safety Ronnie Lott perfected his patent­
ed knockout hits.
Tw elve years ago, from the speakers On
his bike radio, he listened as Trojan defensive
b ack T im M cD o n a ld covered w ould-be
receivers like a Velcro blanket.
Eight years ago, he sat in the stands o f thè
Los Angeles Coliseum and eyed cornerback
Mark Carrier as he mède interception after
interception.
This year, M cCutcheon is the one being
looked up to by young U S C fans. And if
coaches opinions count -for an yth in g, he
cou ld be better than his defensive prede­
cessors. .
“ He has the rare gifts o f speed, quickness,
instincts toughness and great cover ability,”
head coach John Robinson said: “ H e can
develop into on o f the great U S C football
players ever. (Maybe) the best cornerback to
play at U S C .” ;
M cCutcheon, a prfcseason A ll-A m erican
and cover man for The Sporting N ew s and
Street & Smith ’s , w ill display his outstand­
in g Skills this Saturday when the Trojans
trav el to Tem pe fo r a 12:30 p .m . gam e
against A S U .
A three-year starter for the Trojans, die 5fo o t-11, 175-pound-pound junior is the son
o f former L .A Rams A ll Pro running back
Lawrence McCutcheon. He is rated the 39th
best player in the country by N FL draft guru
M el Kiper, and last season was a first team
A ll-P a c-10 member.
A lo n g w ith B rian K e lly : M cCu tcheon
makes up half o f what is considered the best
cover duo in the nation
M et uicheon said He takes the accolades
in stride.
“ it s' a great honor That s why everyone
p lays -if- io become a big-tim e player,” the

sociology major said. “ I’m really glad people
think o f us that h ig h ly , but it’ s not how
you’ re looked at at start out the season. It’s
how you’re looked at at end the reason. Brian
and I are really excited and glad we can go
out there and compiete every week.”
A S U head coach Bruce Snyder agreed the
Trojan teammates are terrific, but added his
comerbacks are pretty good as w ell.
“ Ours are better looking,” Snyder joked,
“ IT I tell you w hat, they’ ve got two really
good ones. But 1 w ouldn’ t trade ours fo r
theirs. Brian K elly and Daylon McCutcheon
are really gifted athletes.”
Sun Devil tight end Kendrick Bates, how­
ever, isn’t intimidated by the challenge the
A S U offense w ill face this weekend.
“ W ith our sk ill guys against their sk ill
gu ys, we should w in every battle,” Bates
said.
This season, M cCutcheon is fifth on the
team with 15 tackles and is on pace to sur­
pass his 1996 total in interceptions (3) and
tackles for loss (3).
In ad d ition to m aking h im s e lf a star
defender, M cCutcheon’s athletic ability has
also allowed him to spiend time on the offen­
sive side o f the ball.
“ It’s only once and a w hile,” he said. “ I’ve
only run two plays in gam es. I ’ m getting
some more w oik in practice, so I just have to
ready to go. I look forward to it, but I look at
m y se lf as a defensive p layer. G o in g into
every gam e, I ju st think defense. I f I get
called on, I’ ll be more than happy to go and
do whatever they ask me to do.”
M cCutcheon added that nowadays he’ d
like to follow the path o f Deion Sanders.
“ I love watching him because he’ s such a
great athlete,” M cCutcheon said. “ Whenever
he’s on the field, he’ s able to come up with
big plays. That’S the type o f player I am . I
lo v e the w ay he entertains on the fie ld ,
Football is intense, but you should be able to
have fun.”

Tarheels’ Dean Smith M artin_____
rumored to be retiring
C o n t in u e d

AssociatED Press

North Carolina men’s basketball coach Dean Sm ith is expect­
ed to step down tomorrow after 36 seasons as the Tarheels
head man.

C H A P E L H IL L , N .C . (A P ) —
N orth C a ro lin a has c a lle d a
Thursday news conference concern­
in g the m en’ s basketball program
and speculation centered on the pos­
s ib le retirem en t o f co a ch D ean
Sm ith, the sport’s winningest coach.
Sports information director Steve
K irschn er refused to g iv e details
about the 2 p.m . news conference,
saying only that the school planned
a “ major announcement.” He would
not comment when asked whether it
, concerned Sm ith.
How ever, the Basketball Tim es,
a Rochester, M ich.-based monthly
n ew sp ap er, cite d u n id e n tifie d
sources close to the school in report­
ing that Sm ith w ill step down imme­
d ia te ly . It reported that assistants
Phil Ford or B ill G uthridge would
become interim head coach.
G u th rid g e has been S m ith ’ s
assistan t fo r 31 seasons and has
turned dow n a num ber o f head
coaching offers.
Ford w as the key gu ard in
Sm ith’s fam ed Four Corners offense
and is the school’s all-tim e leading
scorer. H e led the Tar Heels to a 99-

25 mark from 1974-75 to 1977-78.
H e has been an assistant at North
Carolina for nine seasons. ,
The 66-year-bld Sm ith, who has
coached the Tar H eels fo r 36 sea­
sons, has said fo r years he w ould
decide before the start o f practice
each year whether to retire. North
Carolina begins practice O ct: 18.

Wednesday night.
Sm ith said earlier this year he
p lan n ed to h on or h is co n tra ct
through 2001.
“ I take each year as it com es,”
Sm ith said in M arch, “ and I won’ t
make that decision in A pril, because
every A p ril I am probably (tired).
S o , you wait to see how excited you
are in August. For 36 years I guess
I ’ ve been e xcited in A u g u st and
September. I f that ever changed up
until 2001 then I would make that
decision.” :
Sm ith , w ith a career record o f
879-254, broke Adolph Rupp’ s alltime victory mark o f 876 last season
during the N C A A tournam ent in
W inston-Salem .

happens, we need to get a short fie ld ."
-'M artin agreed that A S U needs to get
better in this department.
“B asically , we’ve go to get rid o f the
p e n a ltie s,” he sa id . “ W e’ ve g o t too
many offsides, holdings ,and a ll kinds
1o f little tacky stuff. But it’ s killin g us in
the Red Zone W e’ve to start putting up
som e m ote points. W e need more th in

Snyder said he doesn’t want to panic
about the team ’ s k ick in g w oes o f a
Week ago when senior kicker Robert
N ycz missed dupe first-half field goals.1
. “ Y o n doB’ t w ant to becom e paran oid ,” Snyder said . "Paranoia m akes

every w eek. So to com e out here and
do som ething dram atically different 1
th in k puts the m indset that ‘O h , je e z

“ So what we did is we ca n » out and
