Students, staff discover joys o f cleaning up B y A lev A sher S ta te P ress Hundreds of students, parents and faculty members helped renovate a school playground Saturday, during the second annual community service project held in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Over 300 Students attended the Phoenix clean-up project at G. Benjamin Brooks Academy, 3146 E. Wier Dr., which was sponsored by ASU’s Martin Luther King Planning Committee. The attendance made this year’s turnout three times bigger than last year's. “We only filled up two tables last year,” Said David Provost, Brooks Academy’s student relations coordinator, “This year, the whole cafeteria was filled with kids and ASU students. It was a great turnout.” ASU Com m unity S ervice Program D irector Erin Murphy said the program was started last year to unite community members in a worthwhile cause and educate young students about King’s ideas. “One of Martin Luther King’s biggest messages was serving the community,” Murphy said. “Our program teach­ es children that they can make a difference if they work hard together.” Volunteers painted the school’s outdated playground equipment, planted 10 trees and cleaned the school’s sur­ roundings. Several ASU organizations donated supplies for the project, including 20 gallons of purple paint, baby trees and new playground equipment Katie McKenzie, principal of Brooks Academy and ASU alumnus, said the clean-up was rewarding for her school and students. She added that she was pleased with the crowd. “If you take a look at the surroundings, you’ll see that the community lacks a lot of pride,” McKenzie said. Jeremy Weiee/State Press Summer Lee, a psychology major, lends a helping hand In renovating the playground at G. Benjamin Brooks Academy Saturday, in honor of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. More than 300 students participated in thè clean-up effort. “The students find the school as their safe haven, so when ASU contacted us last year and wanted to start this as an annual event in honor of Martin Luther King, we were all for it.” Brooks’ students were divided into teams and paired with ASU students and faculty members. Sophomore Lindsay Buzzard said she joined the community service project last year because she loves working with the chil­ dren and helping her community. “ The kids are great,” she said. “There were a lot more students this year which was really good to see.” Dr. Art Garter, Dean of Student Life, said he was over­ whelmed with die program’s success and hopes the event will continue. He added that he felt the day truly represent­ ed King and honored his goals. “We recognize that his (Martin Luther King’s) legacy is really about action, rather than reflection,” he said. “It’s the partnership with the young people that will keep the King legacy alive. It’s a real credit to the ASU community for turning put the numbers we had.” M o to rcy clist dies after collision w ith m in iv a n B y B ecky B evins Sta te P ress Cars were directed away from the intersec­ tion of Rural Road and Apache Boulevard for more than two hours Friday morning as a Com­ muter’s nightmare snarled traffic.

According to Tempe police, Leblanc, a nursing student at ASU, was traveling westbound on Apache Boulevard, when he ran a red lig h t and stru c k a F ord A erostat. He died la te r from in ju ries received in that wreck. “He was a goner from the beginning,” said Brad Liley, a witness who was sitting outside the McDonalds at the intersection having breakfast. “His arms and legs were broken in so many places that when they picked him up to put him on the gurney they hung like ropes.” “There was just nothing to hold them together anymore,” Liley said. “I knew he wasn’t going to make it when I saw blood gushing out of his nose.” “He was dead before he hit the street,” said W illiam Rodriguez, a witness who heard the crash and rushed to (he scene. “There was blood everywhere,” R o d rig u ez also said L eb la n c was wearing a HelmetSeveral people saw the accident and ope witness was so visibly shaken by the experi­ ence that a police officer had to drive her ear out of the intersection for her. The minivan’s driver was unidentified and both the woman and her child walked away from the scene. The driver, who was unavilable for comment, was shaken and crying as a cityrerisis worker led her across the street, away from the scene and away from reporters. As investigators tried to make sense of the rubble, one elderly woman walked by the scene and said, “(It) looks like he ran a red; light and it cost him his life.

Instead, the system had to be shut down and rebooted periodically. “W e’re seeing some unusual network issu e s,” she said. “W e’ve been tro u ­ bleshooting the problem with the web server but we haven’t come to any con­ clusions yet.” But not every departm ent had elec­ tronic difficulties. Kate Dillon, depart­ ment director o f Financial A ssistance Through Technology (FASTT), said they have had no problems with their web site and that things are running smoothly. Shoecraft said it may be that FASTT just hasn’t felt the effects of the problem yet. In-Touch officials said they have not seen m uch m ore traffic that usual on either their web site or telephone service, but if students tried to bypass registration through the telephone because o f jam ­ ming they most likely hit a dead end on the Internet. “Unfortunately, the bottom line is that we just aren’t able to gear up for a couple of days of a very high volume of calls,” said Rose Snow, manager of telephone services at ASU. “If we did th at, we would have to raise rates to accommo­ date that and we ju st don’t want to do that and I don’t think the students would want us to do that.” ITOÍIIIm W ÊÊÊÊK ÊÊÊÊk y o u r • C o a lit io n f o r j u s t i c e a n d com e, fgp£*crved basis and printed as space peainits.

These days Bill Clinton is doing a good job vilifying himself. R ecent events involving allegations Of a n affair between Clinton and a W hite House intern are another step in a series of sexual-misconduct accusations against the presidt^Sli^ The Monica Lewinsky allegations are, as o f now , a sim ple m atter o f “he said, she safd.” There is no clear-cut evidence to either indict or acquit the president. The fundamental question remains: Who is telling the truth? It is quite pos­ sible the public will never know. g | The Clinton administration is plagued by one scandal after another. Not since President Harding has an administration been so wrought with scan­ dal, and Americans in the ‘20s only elected Harding once. Indeed, evenNixon’s administration ran rela­ tively smoothly until Watergate. But Clinton, it seems, can’t survive a week without being accused of something. Is Clinton simply the unlucky target o f publicity seekers? Are the Republicans attempting to realign voters. <| penchant for scandal o r the public’s insatiable appetite for such incidents7 Or is it the fault o f Cancer Man from th e X -F ile s? Democrats would have you believe it is independent special prosecu­ tor Kenneth Starr’s unrelenting straggle to defame an honest man. Poor Clinton; it seems everyone is out to get him. He has spent five years trying to ran the country to the best o f his ability* and what does he get? Accusations. Of course, Clinton could have done a little to bring this upon himself. Maybe if he bad not bad one affair with (Jennifer Flowers it would be easier to believe he has not had subsequent affairs. Moreover, whether Clinton had an affair with Lewinsky or not, it is a fact that he had a closer relationship with her than is normal between a president and an intern. He gave her a dress, invited her to social functions, helped her get a jo b and was seen hugging her on video tape. Other W hite House interns admit they hardly ever saw the president, let alone embraced him. It is too early to judge the president or postu­ late what the following weeks will bring. The president, like every other American, is innocent until proven guilty. T he State o f the U nion address on Ttiesday will undoubtedly be used by Clinton to emphatically deny the charges and re­ establish some credibility. If nothing else comes from this entire fiasco, at least more Americans will tune in to the State o f the Union address. If not for the speech’s political content, then at least to meet their need Aliens beat politics in popularity contest “A liens — good.

And for you 51 percent out there who do not take the tim e to vote, yes, we have a S ecretary o f State. We also have a governor. Neat, huh? B arw ood’s platform is sim ple but revolutionary: she wants an investigation into the m ysterious lights spotted over Phoenix last year, which many believe were the headlights o f alien vehicles, known in some circles as “UFOs.” She also wants to unearth all the other dirty little secrets our government has been hid­ ing. She thinks the public should know about things like the Kennedy assassination and Ronald Reagan’s clandestine sex-change operation. Fight the power, Frances! A nonym ous sources claim th at a m assive alien landing is im m inent. Not another “sighting,” but a legitim ate public rendezvous, covered by Dan Rather and everything. It is also com m on know ledge that aliens will come here intent upon destroying us, if not devouring our scrawny little carcasses. Quite a down­ er, huh? Fortunately, I have some ideas that will kill three rats with one rock: increasing voter turnout, getting Frances Barwood elected, and preventing the destruc­ tio n o f the hum an ra ce. A ll B arw ood m u st do is incorporate them into her campaign platform: 1. Placate the aliens by giving them Tucson. This will not only save countless lives, but will exponentially boost A rizona’s literacy rate once all the UofA stu­ dents are eaten or sold into inter-galactic slavery. 2. Stage an elab o rate W W F style w restlin g m atch between Bill Clinton and the head alien. The winner gets the nation; the loser goes three rounds with Paula Jones. (I mean the old Paula Jones, with steel-wool hair and carnival m akeup.) This would significantly increase voter turnout. Even Kate Stanko, a freshman with no interest in politics, said, “I would get frontring seats.” Her dedication would not end there. She added that she and a group o f friends w ould paint their bodies to show their com petitive spirits. Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is voter involvement. 3. Let aliens run uncontested for all government posi­ tions. Voter turnout would definitely improve, for as sophomore Albert Kern said, “I would be more w ill­ ing to vote if someone other than a white male were running.” 4. F eed T en t C ity in m ates to o u r alien overlo rd s. C rim e g o es do w n , th e a lie n s are h ap p y , and th e streets are safer for children and puppies. “Aliens — good. Politics — bad.” Our generation is m ore interested in aliens than appropriations, but there is a reason for that: government and aliens seem to have about the same relevance to our daily lives. Aliens are simply more entertaining. If elected officials have any desire to pull our gen­ eration back into active politics, they need to focus m ore on their constituents and less on their careers and bank accounts. O r as Bob D ylan said a generation ago, “Com e senators, congressm an, please heed the call — don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall — for he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled — the bat­ tle outside rag in ’ — will soon shake your windows and ra ttle your w alls — fo r the tim es, they are achangin’.” Scott Bennett is a sophomore studying journalism and can reached at Columnist@asu.edu v ia e-mail. r ------- -------------------^ ^ ^ S T A T E PRESS lJTAFF PERCY EDNALINO, Editor JODI BAFUNDO, Managing Editor CARYL-SUE MICAUZIO........................ „....Night Editor KARA SHIRE.....................................................City Editor ROWE EDGEIJ........................................Asst.

STOP WHINING. Everything in life is a matter of choices and you, Angela Yeager, chose to be a commuter student. I chose to commute also, and funny thing is, 1 enjoy being a commuter student. Commuter students are admirable; we have a life outside of college. We may be single; we may be married. We may work; we may not work. We may have children; we might aspire to have children some day. We may enjoy life; we may not. My point is this: Life is what you make it, just like your college experience is what you make it. For instance, if you dream of attending College parties and leisurely drinking coffee while 'hanging out,’ as does Yeager, then stop com­ plaining and just do it. We all must remember that we create Our own boxes; that is, our choices in life dictate our present situations. Don't create your box and then Complain you’re trapped in it. Yeager, unfortunately, does exactly this. Take a hammer to that box! Branch out! W ork with what you have and have fun doing it! Simply put, relax and enjoy life. Kachelle J.

Dennis Monee Com puter Database Specialist Information Technology , Via e-mail Spice Girls definition trite 1 am a regular reader o f the State Press and believe it to be an excellent publication overall. However, upon reading the recent article by State Press columnist Ross Eide enti­ tled, “Sex key to Spice Girl success,” I was appalled to find that a publication like the State Press would employ such a blatantly pedestrian and pedantic writer as Ross Eide and publish such an obviously trite and moronic article as the one in question. ” _______________ e -m a il t h e e d it o r s in jin @ im a p 2 . a s u .e d u It was my impression that there existed some manner of fail-safe to prevent the type of idiocy as is reflected in this pathetic excuse for journalism. Allow me to demonstrate how this article and its author embody the loathsome qualities of which I accuse them. First, throughout the article, it is quite obvious, even to the layman, that die author knows little or nothing about the subject of the article, the Spice Girls, as he is not even capable of identifying the focus of his derisive comments by name, much less recog­ nize the feminist messages behind the Spice Girls’ overtly sex­ ual on-stage and public personas that are, after all, only skin deep. The fact that the author did not even attempt to research any information on his subject is a sign of both utter incompe­ tence and sheer laziness. Secondly, die basis of this argument is that the Spice Girls represent “mainstream male sexual fantasies,” which is so obvi­ ous and basic a comment as to say that heterosexual men are attracted to women. And, as the author seems so impressed with his astounding revelation, he continues to ramble on about what fantasies are represented by which Spice Girl, as though no one else is capable of defining this on their own. Further still compounding this display of imbecility are the author’s closing comments pertaining to the success of “other music groups that have sold themselves with sex appeal alone,” and neglects to mention even one to support his claim, yet another sign of inep­ titude on the part of the author. It is, therefore, my desire and wish that you, the editor, discharge and immediately replace columnist Ross Eide or, at the very least, teach him the proper method of writing journalistic pieces. Until either of these are carried out, I strongly urge you to not accept nor (sic) publish any more of Ross Eide’s pathetic excuses for journalistic writing, for jhe sake of your publication, your reputable and talented staff members, and especially your readers.

We all w ant to know if B ill C olum nist Clinton has lied about his alleged infidelities. Could we have voted for a man who was not telling the truth regarding his personal life? Could we have voted for a man who has not been tru e to us reg ard in g whom be slept w ith? Maybe we should settle this on The Jerry Springer Seriously, I would argue that the above questions aren’t the most important ones facing the country at the moment. The most important question is this; Can Clinton effectively govern the country with all these allegations hanging over his head? W hat Clinton does in his personal life doesn’t affect us directly, but the decisions he makes in our co u n try 's international and dom estic affairs can affect us enormously. Suppose there is a crisis in the Middle East o r Bosnia? Suppose the stock market tumbles? What about the racial problems Clinton has been attempting to address? If the White House is consumed with ‘’putting out fires” from the president’s personal life, where does that put the rest of the country in order of priority? Seeing the president with Yassir Arafat Thursday was a painful reminder as to how a president’s personal ’’affairs” can influence things beyond his presidency. At least one reporter asked President Clinton a question about Monica Lewinsky in the presence of Arafat, who had come to Washington to talk about the Middle East peace process. It could be said that many of us voted for Clinton not because we thought he was the most honest can­ didate w e’ve ever had regarding his'personal life, but' because we thought he had the best skills avail­ able-to lead the country **into the 21st century,” as his .campaign slogan stud We wanted someone who could keep the country moving. In many ways; Clinton has done this. We have fall employment for the first time in one-balf century. We’re running a budget surplus for the first time since 1969. Inflation is non-existent. The stock market is at an all-time high. In many ways Clinton as president has been as successful as any other modern politician in improving his country's welfare. However, the question to be asked now is whether this crisis will destroy this administration’s accom­ plishments, diverting its attention solely to protect­ ing the president from prosecution. We can only hope that legal events take their course speedily rather than painstakingly slow. Otherwise, the coun­ try will pay through the nose.

S t a t e P ress Monday, January 2 6,1998 Page 6 ASU, UofA students advise congressman on issues B y C h r is K a h n St a t e P ress In a society constantly abuzz with complex issues such as hum an cloning and global warming, Congressman Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., has found out that representing a major univer­ sity has its benefits. Students at ASU and UofA have been work­ ing as advisers for the congressman, helping him understand the science behind certain laws. “As a congressman, you have to know a lot about many issues. It’s impossible -— we’re h o t walking encyclopedias. We’ve got to rely on people, and the great thing is that many of the rising experts are still in college,” Salmon said. The cooperation between the congressman and the students started last summer, when th eir “S cience, L iteracy and W ashington, D.C.,” class went to the nation’s capital to learn about p o litic s g overning scien tific research. Salmon eventually asked if anyone wanted to help him understand Superfund legislation, which is a series o f complex environmental laws requiring people polluting an area to be responsible for cleaning up. Two students from ASU-and one from UofA responded to the request. Last semester, they researched the scientific aspects of thè legisla­ tion and identified problems with its imple­ mentation. Last week they met with the con­ gressm an and m ade reco m m endations to improve the laws. “What he’s doing is very progressive. He admits when he doesn’t know about things and he's willing to go out and talk to people who can find out the information he doesn’t know,” said M ark R ivera, a m ath and .philosophy sophom ore and one o f the stu d en ts who advised Salmon. They found out that while Superfund legis­ lation requires the owner of a property to be responsible for cleaning up environm ental wastes located on it, the metlyjd that owners use to do it is usually left unchecked. -They also noticed that business owners were more likely to build factories or other buildings on pristine tracts of land instead of in the city because they don’t want to be responsible for pollution possibly left by the previous owners. The students suggested that environmental legislation would be better served if it included a means of peer review — a well-practiced concept in scientific research where new ideas are subject to a rigorous examination by others before th ey ’re accepted. A policy o f peer review would help owners choose the best method for cleaning up wastes by weeding out inferior practices. “As science majors, it’s unique to have an opportunity to work with the congressman. The work that we do might crop in Superfund legis­ lation as they consider ways to improve the program. That’s a pretty cool idea if you actu­ ally sit down and think about it,” said senior zoology major Brent Maddin, another adviser. The experience of going to the nation’s cap­ ital and advising Salmon has not only been beneficial to the congressman, but to the stu­ dents as well. “You realize what the misconceptions held about science are, how people see science as fitting into the way the nation works, and what the- role o f science is for the n ation,” said Rivera. “When you see things like that, it’s definitely an eye-opening experience.” . i- C a m p u s -i '-Corn er -' 712 S.

(AP) — A devout Hindu is suing Taco Bell, claiming he suffered extreme distress because he was served a beef burrito. Hindus hold cows sacred and Mukesh K. Rai maintains that he carefully ordered a bean burri­ to at the experience,” Rai said Friday. “So much so that I had to go to a psychiatrist. I went to a doctor. I couldn’t sleep.” His lawsuit, filed last week, seeks dam­ ages for emotional distress, medical expenses and loss of rito with meat,” the lawsuit states. He says he realized die mistake when he bit into it. “Eating the cow, it was a really devastating go to India to purify himself by bathing in the Ganges.

S t a t e P ress Monday, January 26,1998 Page 12 Should female inmate, now a Christian, still die?

It weighs close to 20 pounds. That could be rust on the pickax’s blunted points — or traces of dried blood. Once used to break concrete or sun-dried soil, it was swung in drug-crazed passion 14 years ago, when 5-foot-3, 121-pound Karla Faye Tucker sank it 10, 15, 20 times into a man and a woman. On Feb. 3, the state of Texas plans to stick two needles into Tucker’s arms to execute her. That would make her the first woman put to death in Texas since Chipita Rodriguez was hanged in 1863 for killing a horse trader. But a storm of protest has swirled since the date was set. Should a woman be executed? What about her embrace of Christianity? Joe Magliolo, the prosecutor who won the conviction, views her as a “poster child” adopt­ ed by death-penalty opponents. “The jury (in 1984) heard pretty much all the facts that folks now are acting as if they are new — the fact she had a bad childhood, she was doing drugs, that she converted to Christ,” said Magliolo, now an assistant U S. attorney. In recent weeks, Tucker’s soft, brown eyes, bashful smile and long dark curls have filled n e tw o rk -te le v ision b ro ad casts from the women’s death row at Gatesville, about 225 miles northwest of Houston. In interviews carefully selected by her and her prison minister-husband, Dana Brown, she insists she’s a new person, content to spend her life in prison doing God’s work and setting an example for young people. “We all have the ability, after we’ve done noted that of the record 37 inmates executed in something horrible, to make a change for the Texas last year, 16 had sought clemency.
