B y F rank B ajak A ss o c ia t e d P ress BOGOTA, Colombia — The route was familiar, the crew was experienced. Why ■ — even after being warned he was off course — did the pilot fly straight into a mountain face? Investigators searched for clues Tuesday on a ridge in Bogota's eastern mountain range, pocked with the wreckage of the Ecuadof-bound Boeing 727 that crashed Monday, killing 53. Air traffic controllers in Bogota radioed the passenger jet, leased to Air France by the Ecuadorean military-run carrier TAME, when it failed to turn 90 degrees southward at a radio beacon 2,000 feet from the runway's end. Pilot Jaime Vasconez tersely acknowledged the communica­ tion— but nonetheless proceeded eastward for two miles, slam­ ming into fog-shrouded El Cable mountain just 150 feet below its 10,170-foot summit. Vasconez and his Ecuadorean crew of 10 flew the QuitoBogota-Quito route three times a week, officials said. They knew where the mountains were. So why not turn north or south to avoid the ridge? 1 ‘That is the very question that we are investigating. What happened?" Col. Julio Alberto Gonzalez, deputy director of the civil aviation authority, told The Associated Press. He refused to release the transcript of the pilot's radio communication with con­ trollers. Neither would he speculate on the cause, though he did rule out weather. “The weather conditions were indeed not the best but did per­ mit enough visibility to operate." the agency said in a statement There was some drizzle and fog over the mountain. Climbing, Flight 422 hit the ridge at about 170 mph at 4:47 p.m. tearing most bodies into small, unidentifiable pieces strewn over a half-mile, along with thousands of pieces of wreckage. Only five corpses were found intact Rescue workers estimated Tuesday they had collected the remains of about 15 people. “There was no possibility that anyone could survive the impact It is very likely that everyone died instantly,” Gonzalez .said'. ■ Rescue workers scoured die site overnight Police arrested two looters and a 14-year-old boy died Tuesday when he fell into a ravine trying to reach the wreckage, officials said.

TAME flew victims’ relatives from Quito to Bogota on Tuesday. They were bused to hotels and purposely avoided jour­ nalists. Gonzalez said a Colombian-Ecuadorean-French team would investigate the crash.

Sonny Bono. Mrs. Bono, a Republican who won a special election to succeed her husband, said serving the people of California’s 44th Congressional District was his proudest achievement. The seat had been vacant since Bono died Jan. 5 in a skiing accident at Lake Tahoe. “I understand why this chamber held so much meaning for my late husband,” Mrs. Bono told the House, her two young children at her side. “I will do my best to live up to the legacy that he has left and continue to bring his commonsfense approach to serving the people of this great nation.” Mrs. Bono says she supportsliscal responsibility, educa­ tion and the environment. The House also welcomed former California state senator Barbara Lee, a Democrat, who is filling the 9th Congressional District seat long held by her mentor, former Rep. Ron Dellums. Dellums retired in February after more than 27 years I will doJny best to live up to the legacy . that he has left and continue to bring his 'WBBSSSsb wHBSi coikmoTi&ense approach to serving the people o f this great nation, itttk j| l| — Mary Bono, in refejEnce toifer husband, the late R ja^ oim jtfSono in Congress to focus on his personal life. Lee, Dellums’ former chief of staff, promised to push for a solvent Social Security system and good jobs and livable wages for working men and women and to protect abortion rights. “I accept the challenge to continue to be a 4orig-distahce runner for economic, social and political justice,” she said in her remarks to the House. Dellums listened from the floor. Mrs. Bono defeated actor Ralph Waite, patriarch of “The Waltons” TV series, by winning 64 percent of the vote in a special election April 7. Waite has promised to challenge her in the upcoming election fora full two-year term in the House. Lee, meanwhile, captured 67 percent of the vote in a special election, also April 7. She also plans to run for a full two-year term, Bono and Lee — who boost the number of women in the House to 55 —- were sworn in together by House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., and embraced afterward. Republicans control the House 227-205, with one indepen­ dent. Two vacancies remain.

Like a leaky faucet, our welfare program is in need of a good “fix” if it is ever going to please anyone. W ith anger and frustration, I read in The Arizona Republic on Sunday about the millions of dollars lost to fraud within our current welfare sys­ tem. But what really bothered me wasn’t the few outra­ geous schemes of money pilfering. It was the “crime” of getting a minimum-wage job while on welfare. Fraud, like other things, happens. There will always be a small percentage of society who would rather steal or live off freebies from others than make an honest living for themselves. But that is not the majority. I’d like to believe there are far more hardworking, honest people in America who have simply been hit with hard times. I don’t doubt that even in one of the richest nations of the world, there are people who are in desperate need of financial help from time to time. They struggle to attain even the basics because o f illness, an accident or the merci­ less hand o f a double-whammy o f bad luck. Circumstances will inevitably arise where fellow citizens — maybe even you and I — will need temporary assistance at some time in our lives. If our nation is going to employ a federal aid program, it should be designed to help us get back on our feet. Our current system does not do this. The Department of Economic Security considers those who try to pick themselves up again and become independent as guilty of fraud or “cheaters,” What insanity do we employ to punish those who actually seek out work? It seems incredu­ lous to expect that as soon as someone begins making $5.15 an hour, he/she no longer needs any aid. I want to know if there is someone out there who can actually afford rent, food, health care, clothing and transportation on $5.15 an hour. If there is such a person, he/she should pass on the economic craftery at a worldwide forum to enlighten die rest o f us. No, instead, the system encourages recipients to sit back jo b less and continue receiving w elfare checks or food! stamps rather than suffer the consequences of daring to get a service job with the pathetic wage: Literally, it pays to just give up and accept federal help. Once you are working, you’re cut from benefits. So basically, the pros of welfare outweigh the pros of minimum-wage work. It’s nuts, but that’s what’s happening. The theoretical, or “practicality” of the system; fails to provide constructive incentives for change. Obviously, there will come a point when a person has been w orking long enough that they should no longer receive aid. But there should be some w eaning period, some way to encourage working over: receiving aid without kicking a person out the door. Not too long ago, my cultural history class studied the Great Depression. We discussed FDR’s New Deal govern­ ment programs, which helped people get back on their feet. We read an oral history by Studs Terkel that gave voices to" the men and women who lived through this downtrodden time. From these things I gathered an impression of how differently federal aid affected people then. People did not jump to receive aid; many people, especially men, struggled with shame and poor self-esteem because of their unemployment The poor of the 1930s wanted desperately to be independent citizens, Many suffered incredible hardships rather than succumb to asking for help from charities or church­ es. They found new hope, rejuvenated esteem and a fresh start in working for the government on public works building pro­ jects, not in receiving degrading handouts. There is a lot o f discussion about what effects the New Deal had and whether such programs should be a model for healing o r a scapegoat fo(J)lam e concerning our current poverty crisis. There are scholars who believe that true aid was neither handouts nor w ork program s, but actually W orld W ar II and the industrialization it dem anded. I couldn’t tell you which is the true theory. But what I can tell you without a doubt is that we are in need o f change. Whatever we are or aren’t doing is sustain­ ing another crisis. There are Americans who are ill-housed, ill-fed and in need o f medical attention. But just where do we begin to m ake change? Chew on th at question for awhile, and I will give you my two cents tomorrow. Amber Knuth is a junior studying journalism and can be reached at ambrosia@asu.edu via e-mail.

Political Education Coalition Full porn censorship This is a response to the editorialliy Meghan Gaynor in die Tuesday edition on page four about pornography : Meghan Gaynor’s editorial and critique of pornography does not go far enough ... in fact, she is downright inconsistent in viewpoint Right here she contradicts herself: “As far as I’m concerned, pornography doesn’t have any place in a university, an institution that supposedly promotes the expansion of people’s minds, not the primitive limitations of pornography. O f course, I do not think pornography should fall victim to censorship ... So, is it selfish of me to not want to see any evidence of this consumption o f goods in my classroom ? Perhaps. But I digress ... Pornography truly does promote the dehumanization of women.” How can Meghan Gaynor oppose pornography’s usage at a university and conclude that pornography does dehu­ manize women, and yet still think pornography should not be censored? Tell me, Meghan, would you feel comfortable if the follow­ ing people actively used pornography outside the university? The young man who lives upstairs/downstairs from your apartment? The young man who lives on either side of your apartment? The male gynecologist who examines your body? The male dentist who works on your teeth? The male UPS driver who delivers packages to your door? The male clerk who bags your groceries at the store? Should I go on? The point is this: Pornography is dehuman­ izing to women no matter where it shows up. Simply keeping it out of the university is not enough. And if Meghan does not want pornography frilly censored, then she is merely blowing smoke by not pressing for its full censorship, because the dehu­ manization of women cannot be eliminated by only censoring pornography within the confines of a university.

W om en w anting ab ortions in A rizona w ill have to receive complete information about that procedure with the passage of House Bill 2072. The bill, which was passed by both the House and the Senate and is currently in the House awaiting final passage, makes it mandatory that physicians, clinicians or other medical personnel completely inform a woman wanting an abortion about the p ro ced u re and the risks involved. Women will then have to sign a form indicating that they received the information. - . “I think it’s a great thing for women,” said Rep. Karen Johnson. R-Mesa. “It’s a women’s bill.” Johnson said the bill will help women make an informed choice about abortion. . “ i t 's a very serio u s d e c is io n ,” sh e said. “U su ally (women are) in a crisis: situation when that decision needs to be made. They may still (choose to) have an abortion. At least they wouldn't have the after-effect of ‘Oh my gosh, what have I done. 1 didn't have the information.” ' Doctors who perform abortions usually don't explain the procedures to patients, she said. “They don’t want to take the time,” Johnson said. “They don’t want it any way to get into conversation. It’s just too much trouble.” If after receiving the information women choose not to have an abortion, that will also be a benefit o f the bill, Johnson said. “We feel it will, in fact, stop some abortions,” she said. “Some women will not go ahead with an abortion. If we can prevent even one abortion (then the bill will be worth it). (But) we certainly cannot prevent a woman from having an abortion.” . -■ Rep.

Maybe because they fear they w on’t get as many abor­ tions.” .v- . The bill will protect women from emotional scars after the abortion, Gray said. During or after the abortion is too late for someone to find out what will happen. ASU Psychology Professor Nancy Felipe Russo hasn’t read this particular bill, but she is aware of similar legisla­ tion being passed around the country. “There is a national strategy to make abortion unavail­ able, to make it uninsurable. It’s a whole big strategy,” she said. “They (abortion opponents) developed this whole big thing about the psychological harm, and they get women to sue their doctors. It’s quite sophisticated; these bills are being introduced all over the place.” Russo said the goal o f this legislation is not informed consent. “Typically, what psychologists would say is that you do n ’t legislate inform ed consent, you train doctors in informed consent,” she said, adding that information could then be tailored to the conditions and situation o f the patient. “They say they will have abortion unavailable in five years,” she said. “Everyone will be afraid to perform them. The plan is to make doctors liable for psychological dam­ ages.” AS U CROSSWORD 1 1 mm Ÿ 71fuiw 1 ED ■ a 1 wr by THOMAS JOSEPH ACRO SS u Öl 7 jj V s tu V Hi 0 3.

Unwanted e-mail advertisements and chain letters try to make a quick buck from com puter users every day, and removing them from cyberspace will be the focus of a new task force at ASU. The coalition of campus computer-network administra­ tors, affiliated with a body called the University Network Connected Equipm ent Liaisons (UNCEL), will work on regulating the commercial exploitation of campus e-mail addresses and to patch up security problems that continue to plague the university network. “It just seemed to be something that we haven’t ade­ quately addressed," said Bruce Millard, director of systems integration and management at information technology. In the next few months the task force will run security software through the university network to identify “holes,” or weaknesses in the system that can be exploited by hack­ ers. A computer swat team is also planned so that anyone exploiting vulnerabilities in the system cart be monitored and sent to the authorities. Finally, a set of guidelines will be developed so that administrators can set up new comput­ er systems without creating new opportunities for hackers. UNCEL is designed to be a reactive body, said Bill Lewis, vice provost for information technology. When a security problem occurs, it gets fixed. But recent problems with the netw ork security have made UNCEL take a more aggressive role in dealing with weaknesses in the system, said John O ’Connell, manager of student information systems. Advertisements for things like scholarship services and ‘TOO percent legal” cháin e-mails have been sent across campus by a process called “spamming,” which is a mass distribution of messages originating from outside sources. Spamming is incredibly difficult to Stop, said Mark Royal, managér of information systems at information technology. It’s too easy to get hundreds of e-mail addresses off of the ASU server, Royal said, and although sources of spamming can be targeted and blocked, all they have to do is change their e-mail address, and once again, they can get into ASU’s network. Other problems, such as the theft o f hundreds o f student logons and passwords in January and the deliberate crash­ ing of the ASU network by an outside system in February also occur as frequently as once per day, Lewis said. And because the U niversity com puter system is con­ stantly expanding, these security breaches will becom e even more numerous in the future, Millard said. Lease a little place in the sun.

But U.S. aid state officials declined to inter­ vene, and Jose Roberto Villafuertc was out of options and set to die by injection early today at the Arizona State Prison Complex here. The state Board of Executive Clemency voted 4-1 Tuesday afternoon against recommending commutation of Villafuerte’s death sentence, Early Tuesday evening, the U.S, Supreme Court rejected his last appeals for a stay. At the clemency hearing, the U.S. State Department acknowledged that Arizona officials violated an international treaty by failing to noti­ fy Honduras of V illafuerte’s arrest. But it stopped short of asking that the execution be halted, which it did last week in the case of a Paraguayan on Virginia!’s death row. Villafuerte, 45, was sentenced to death for the 1983 murder of Amelia Schoville, who suffocat­ ed after Villafuerte left her bound and gagged in his Phoenix trailer. At Tuesday’s hearing, he denied committing the crime and claimed new evidence called into question whether he was the killer. Honduran officials protested, saying Villafuerte was denied his rights under an inter­ national treaty, the Vienna Convention, which spells out how countries should treat foreign nationals who are arrested. Witnesses included Mario Fortin, Honduras' ambassador to the United States, who also argued that his country doesn’t have the death penalty. “An American who is in Honduras or another country, we have to respect his rights,” Fortin said through an interpreter after the hearing. “And here in America, they are not respecting his rights.” In a letter, the U.S. State Department acknowledged that Arizona officials violated the treaty and urged the clemency panel to consider that. But it didn’t ask officials to halt Villafuerte’s execution. The State Department intervened last week in Virginia’s execution of a Paraguayan man. Like Villafuerte. Angel Francisco Breard claimed Virginia authorities failed to notify Paraguay his arrest under die treaty. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright urged Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore to stay the execution for fear the case could jeopardize the safety of Americans arrested in other countries. Virginia executed Breard anyway. Albright Said the Virginia execution could give the impression that the United States “does not take seriously its obligations under the Convention.” In Villafuerte’s case, the State Department’s letter said it would convey to Honduras its “deep regrets on the issue of consular notification.” Authorities said Villafuerte, 45, admitted to hitting Schoville, whom he said was his girl­ friend, after the pair got into a fight. They said he also admitted to tying her up — loosely, he claimed — so she wouldn’t be able to call police right away. Villafuerte was found in northern Arizona, sleeping near Schoville’s car on Feb. 22.1983 — the day after he said they had fought at his trailer in Phoenix. When police went back to his trailer, they found Schoville dead. S H O W O S YO UF? A S U £L « S E T P IN N E R A I .O .* This y ear w e re doing it again!

S h aw A s s o c ia t e d P r e ss MIAMI — The arrest of a 10-year-old boy for kicking his mother in the leg during a family spat prompted the judge in the case to denounce juvenile justice policies that “completely obliterate common sense.” Andrew Perkins, a fourth grader who makes As and Bs, was charged with battery and held overnight after being handcuffed and hauled away from the restaurant where the fam ily was eating T hursday, Police reports say a waitress saw Andrew kick his mother, who said Tuesday the arrest was foolish. ‘T o be arrested for something like that?

Petersen said he expects all charges to be dropped. A n other hearin g is scheduled today. Petersen presided over A ndrew ’s first hearing Friday, after the boy spent the night on a chair at Miami-Dade’s Juvenile Assessment Center. Police were called after Andrew’s step­ father, Joe Martin, took the boy outside the restaurant because of the kick. The family’s lawyer, Frances P.

Pfizer shares rose nearly 2 percent, up $2 at $115.37 1/2 today in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange, after bolt­ ing 8 percent, or $8.18 3/4, on Monday. Viagra is the first oral medicine for impotence. The pill sells for about $7 wholesale. Unlike other remedies, it does not cause an erection unless the man is sexually stimulated. The pili has been hyped as a sexual savior for healthy men seeking to increase or improve their activity or perfor­ mance. Despite warnings from experts that Viagra works only in men with a medical problem, patients are swamping pharmacies to get it. The num ber o f im potence prescriptions filled in the United States has nearly tripled since Viagra’s release early this mondi, to 54.474 for the week ending April 10. Viagra now accounts for eight of every 10 new impotence pre­ scriptions, according to IMS America, a research informa­ tion company that released the figures Monday. Few of the 30 million men who suffer from erectile dys­ function do anything about it. The problem gets worse as men age. Two men in five have problems getting an erection at age 40. Nearly seven in 10 do at age 70. Pfizer estimates the number of men with impotence worldwide at 140 million. Impotence is treatable, but there are drawbacks: penile implants require surgery: vacuum-style devices that force blood into the penis interrupt lovemaking; injecting drugs into the penis or inserting a drug-carrying pellet into the urethra can be painful and the injections sometimes cause hours-tong erections. Thus the popularity of the Viagra pill. Known chemically as sildenafil, it is a failed heart drug that Pfizer pursued after some heart patients unexpectedly reported having erections. It works by blocking an enzyme found mainly in the penis. That enzyme is responsible for quelling an erection after sex by breaking down a chemical called cyclic GMP that is produced during sexual stim ulation. The longer cyclic GMP stays around, the better chance o f maintaining an erection. M ariola H agger, an analyst with D eutsche M organ Grenfell, said Viagra should bring Pfizer $300 million in sales during the rest of the year. Many analysts expect it to bring in more than $1 billion in annual sales after 2000. “It doesn’t make you 21 again, but it does solve the problem,” said Robert Shay, a 70-year-old Los Angeles res­ ident who took part in clinical trials of the drug from 1996 to 1997. Shay, who used to take performance-boosting injections, said Viagra works about as well as the shots but is more discreet and less painful. Viagra could have further applications. Researchers are already looking at whether Viagra could be used to treat women with sexual dysfunction. Some doctors say they’re worried that sexually potent men will use the drug as a kind of sexual steroid. A 52year-old Viagra user in Atlanta, who didn’t want his name used, said that’s what he’d do if he didn’t already need Viagra. “If I was 16 or 17 and I could get hold of the stuff, I would,” he said. “If it’s not a miracle, it’s as close as you can get.” W E PAY THE HIGHEST PRICES FOR YOUR USED BOOKS FAST, FRIENDLY SERVICE R O T H E R 'S B O O K S T O R E 9 6 7 -5 4 4 5 625 E ast A p a c h e MODELASpokeswoman Mid - Western Enterprises Ltd.

About 40 patients and supporters cheered as Wayne Justmaijn, head of security for the new Cannabis Healing Center, unlocked the front door. First in line was Gilbert Abeyga, who said he couldn’t understand why state Attorney General Dan Lungren had pur­ sued the court order that shut down the Cannabis Cultivators Club on Monday. “I’m in pain, and it helps a lot. It keeps me going,” said Abeyga. adding he used marijuana to fight AIDS symptoms. “If it wasn’t for this I!d be skinny and dying by now.” Replacing the former director and club founder Dennis Reran, who is running against Lungren in the Republican gubernatorial primary, was Hazel Rodgers, who celebrated her 79th birthday Monday as sheriffs deputies locked the club’s doors. Rodgers said she believed legal attacks on the center would continue. “There’s too much opposition,” she said. Rob Stutzman, spokesman for Lungren’s office, said the attor­ ney general was considering action against the new center. “You can change the name on the door, but it’s still an ille­ gal drug house,” Stutzman said. The attorney general contends that Proposition 215, the medical marijuana initiative approved by California voters ih 19%, “allows only primary care givers to supply the marijua­ na,” the spokesman said. The court order that shut down Peion’s club was based on its sales to “care givers,” rather than directly to patients. On Tuesday, Justmann posted a large sign banning care givers from entering the club. Rodgers is introducing a new brand of marijuana — Holy Smoke — to celebrate the center’s opening.

(AP) — Pressured to pay back $50,000 in gambling debts, a man allegedly faked the kidnapping of his 12-year-old son to extort money from his estranged wife, leaving the boy handcuffed in a motel with potato chips to eat. The son was persuaded to go along with the scheme, which unraveled when the wife’s family failed to come up with the $10,000 ransom. authorities said Monday. Marko Ivezic, 37, of Farmington Hills told police two masked men abducted his son at gun­ point Friday night and told him to bring the money to a Romulus motel, Police Chief William Dwyer said. The boy was found handcuffed to a bath­ room sink in another motel the next day. He “was made comfortable with pillows, blankets RANGH0 MURIETTA and potato chips and pop,” Dwyer said. The boy and his 10-year-old sister live in New York with their mother but had traveled to Michigan to visit their father. Ivezic was charged with false report of a felony, inducing a minor to commit a felony and attempted fraud. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison on each count. He was ordered held on $100,000 bail. “He was under great pressure. There was a muscle man — the loan sharks had hired someone to collect this money,” Dwyer said. “I’m sure he was fearful of his life and that’s why he cam e up w ith this w hole scheme.”rosecutors said Ivezic also faces weapons charges in New Jersey and his estranged wife has personal pro­ tection order against him in New York.

Ernest L. Harris Jr., 23, was in fair condition this morn­ ing, three days after a hazing ritual allegedly required to join the Kappa Alpha Psi chapter at the Manhattan campus. Harris suffered kidney injuries that will force him to undergo dialysis, Dr. Ben Cowley said at a news confer­ ence at the University of Kansas Medical Center. But such injuries are reversible, and Harris could leave the hospital by early next week. Kansas State University suspended the four-member chapter o f the fraternity M onday, the first step toward expelling it. The school said only one of the four members was involved in Harris’ beating, though six to eight other people may also have been involved; Kappa Alpha Psi has been linked to hazing incidents at two other universities, including one where a man died after a beating. Harris was at the home o f a fraternity member Saturday when he was beaten with paddle boards, fists and canes, said his father, Ernest L. Harris Sr! He had welts and bruis­ es across much o f his body, especially on his buttocks and legs. The elder Harris, o f Wichita, said his son had dropped out o f the initiation process for the same fraternity last year after he was injured. He offered no other details o f that incident. “I just don’t understand how a black fraternity, someone who is going to assist you, someone that is sup­ posed to be a brother who is going to help you, how they could hurt someone like this,” Harris Sr. said. The younger Harris graduated from K ansas State in December with a degree in business administration. The school said he is an alumni pledge of Kappa Alpha Psi, Charles Riley, a former chapter president who said he is still affiliated with the fraternity, declined to comment. Police and the fratern ity ’s national headquarters in Philadelphia are investigating the incident.

Morrison argued that the jury that con­ victed him didn’t understand moshing, or slam dancing, which involves people slamming into one another on the dance floor to the music. Dancers also “stage dive,” which means jumping off the stage into the waiting arms of fellow moshers, and body passing. But jurors found Morrison intended to harm Loomis at the nightclub in October 1995. B y R o b e r t I m r if . A s s o c ia t e d P ress WAUSAU, Wis. — A state appeals court Tuesday rejected a new trial for a man who claimed a jury just didn’t under­ stand his mosh-pit style of dancing. Calvin T. Morrison, 28, of Eau Claire was convicted in Septem ber 1996 of aggravated battery for slamming Greg Loomis into a wall while they were danc­ ing at the Lighthouse Tavern in Eau Claire. He was sentenced to eight years on probation for causing Loom is head injuries that experts said were akin to what might happen in a car accident or fall from A prosecution witness testified that Morrison told him “everybody was slam dancing and that Greg was getting a little wild so he told him to mellow out,” Morrison also said Loomis “had it com­ ing,” according to the witness. Morrison contended he pushed Loomis away and Loomis lost his balance and struck his head: In rejecting Morrison’s request for a new trial, a three-judge panel said more testimony about moshing would further describe the “chaotic atmosphere in the mosh pit” but would provide no additional information about Morrison’s intent (RfW r m I Paris..............$757 Athens.... ...5S893 Rome....... ..... $906 Amsterdam fcifts «umi-Bip wm PfiOMtt anddo not include taxwhich runs ah em $40f. $80.

ASU s Linda Vollstedt, a mastermind of women s golf B y J aso n J o seph St a t e P ress She might not be a household name to the general pub­ lic, but in the golf scene, her name carries the same prestige as former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden. W ith 28 years o f coaching, 18 o f them at ASU, Sun Devil women’s golf head coach Linda Vollstedt has had a major impact on one of the nation’s top-ranked collegiate golf programs. U nder V ollstedt, the Sun D evils have nine P ac-10 Conference titles and five NCAA crowns. “I’ve seen women’s golf in general get bigger and big­ ger over the years,” Vollstedt said. “Sun Devils golf has always been strong. I just hope I can continue the great tra­ dition here.” Vollstedt, Golfweek’s 1997 National Collegiate Coach of the Year, has guided the Sun Devils to a top-10 finish at NCAA’s nine of the last 11 years. She has also led ASU to first or second-place finishes in 44 of 56 tournaments. The Sun Devils have finished no lower than sixth in that time span. Prior to coaching at ASU, Vollstedt coached for 10 years at Phoenix’s Alhambra High School. Her girl’s golf teams won a pair o f state championships (1971, ‘77), finished run­ ner-up twice (1970,’78) and posted four undefeated sea­ sons. “Coaching at the high school level was special for me,” Vollstedt said. “It gave me the knowledge and experience to move up to the collegiate level.” ’ A fter moving up to the college level, Vollstedt began creating a program which she would guide for the next 18 years. “C oach V ollstedt is the m ost w ell-prepared person I know ,” ju n io r Jody N iem ann said. “She know s w hat’s going on and what we need to do to win.” Niemann, who has missed this season due to an injured shoulder, said that she still feels Vollstedt’s impact off the golf course. “Coach is very involved in fundraising and sponsorships to help the school,” Niemann said. “Not only is ASU a big golf school, Coach Vollstedt has made ASU a family for me.” Vollstedt, an ASU graduate, earned her bachelor o f arts degree in education in 1969 and her m aster’s degree in m ath ed u catio n in 1971.

Biyant Wasn’t highly recruited during his first three years of high school. His senior Season, however, saw him average 25 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Biyant led the Rams to the second round of the state tournament and he was selected firstteam All-Arizona Until recently, the 17-year-old said he was leaning toward either McNeese State (Louisiana) or Bosie State. A workout for Evans last week, though, impressed the ASU coach and allowed Biyant to stay instate. “It’s real exciting,” Bryant said about signing with the Sun Devils. ‘T m just happy I got a coach lean relate to. I’m a Christian and he’s a Christian, so it’s good to have someone whose more than a coach that I can talk to.” The three year varsity starter is the first player from Washington High School to ever receive a Division I scholarship for basketball. Biyant will join Valley products Kenny Crandall (guard, Mesa Mountain View) and Chad Prewitt (center, Greenway) and Seattle prep star Willie Hendricks, who were all signed by interim coach Dcm Newman in the fall, as freshmen on next season’s squad. Red Wings wary o f hockey’s wiley Coyotes DETROIT (AP) -— Much of the joy the Stanley Cup has given Detroit over the past 10 months suddenly has faded. It’s time for the Red Wings to defend their championship, and the playoffs always seem to make folks nervous at Joe Louis Arena. There appears to be good reason for the worry, too. For one thing, the Red Wings finished off the regular season with three straight loses, all on the road. For another, they have at least four key players who are likely to m iss Wednesday night's first-round opener against Phoenix because of injuries, y And. finally, there are the Coyotes. Phoenix was one of the three teams that beat the Red Wings on that final road swing. Plus, the Red Wings still remember the first round of the 1996 playoffs, when Detroit ended the fran­ chise’s existence as the Winnipeg Jets. “Two years ago, when we played them in Winnipeg, they gave us a good battle," Detroit forward Kirk Maltbv said. “We went six games with them before we won and I think that wore this team down.” As a result, the Red W ings were eliminated by the Colorado Avalanche in the conference finals. The Red Wings were 3-1-2 against Phoenix this season but the Coyotes played them tough in m ost o f those games. "Other than the last game in Detroit (a 5-1 Red W ings win), every single game w e've played against them has been really tight." Detroit goalie Chris Osgood said. "We don't take them for granted one bit. They’re a team that’s played us tough ever since they were in Winnipeg.” The Red Wings head into the play­ offs as the No. 3 seed, just as they did last year when they ended a 42-year d rought w ithout the C u p . The Red Wings were 44-23-15 this year, thirdbest in the NH but will enter the playoffs w ithout Doug Brow n. B rendan Shanahan, K ris D raper and B rent Gilchrist. Phoenix drew the Red Wings with the sixth seed by virtue of a 3^-35-12 finish. While their record doesn’t compare with Detroit’s, the Coyotes consider it nothing less than a modem miracle considering the hard times this club has endured. The Coyotes led the NHL with 476 man-games lost to injury' and put 27 dif­ ferent players on the injured reserve list at one time or another this season. Only defenseman Teppo Numminen played all 82 games.' Keith Tkachuk and Jeremy Roenick are back and Craig Janney returned from a 14-day absence last week. Still, the Coyotes have several players banged up and Juha Ylonen is likely to miss the first round entirely. “I’ve said I’ve been proud of them all along,” Phoenix coach Jim Schoenfeld said. “They fought through a lot. I think it’s all a credit to the players. They refused to quit when they had a chance.” V ta n S taff l& parts- ‘ ^ Fresh off firing a women’s record score of ffe on day one o f the Pae-fO C ham pionships in R ancho Santa Margarita. C alif.

Alter graduating. Severn stayed on at ASU as an assistant coach until 1986. He took fifth at the World Championships in 1985 and was an Olympic alternate in 1984 and 1988. Severn was later chosen by Amateur Wrestling News as the most dominating wrestler of the decade. "Even now, when I go back to Tempe I like to run the steps inside Sun Devil Stadium.” Severn said "I like to run up A mountain. I like to go back and think about all the good times.” The Ultimate Champion For Severn, the good times have never ended. He is a very large man living a child’s dream. It's all travel­ ing. wrestling, fighting and making money. , In 1992 he entered a toughman contest, losing in the finals. The next year Severn won the contest. "I had never boxed a day in my life,” Severn said. "But I’m a competitor. I’ll always be a competitor." Soon after the toughman contests, Severn started entering — and winning — shootfighting tourna­ ments. It was in 1994. though, that Severn was present­ ed with a rto-holds-barred competition that would put his name in the national limelight The no-holds-barred competition was called the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). which com­ bines boxing, wresding, judo, ju-jitsu, kickboxing and sambo, and for the first time ever it was going to be held in the United States. “You had this thing that was no-holds-barred, any­ thing goes,” Severn said. “People said it was human cockfighting, that it was inhumane. Because they com­ bine all elements into one. people are alarmed.” And with good reason people are alarmed, right? Shouldn't Severn have been alarmed? The last time he had gotten into a fistfight prior to the toughman con­ tests. was in second grade. • But fear is not a burden for this beast.

And so, just two days after announcing his retirement from pro football, th e N F L ’s career sacks leader changed his mind Tuesday and said he would play for the Green Bay Packers next season. “I have reevaluated my decision,” White said in a statement released by the Packers. “I decided I would not retire and that I would play ohe mòre year.” On Sunday, coach Mike Holmgren said the 36-year-old defensive end. who doubles as an ordained Baptist minister, told him that he was retiring because of the bad back that troubled him for most of last season. According to CNN-Sports Illustrated, White was getting his back worked on Monday when, “the Lord spoke to him and told him that he had to be a man of his w'ord and play one more season for the Packers." White, the first big-name free agent to switch teams, had planned a farew ell new s conference in G reen Bay on Wednesday. Instead, he will use the opportunity to explain his decision to return to the Packers for a sixth season. Packers spokesman Lee Remmel offered no details why White changed his mind. “It is his decision and his story and he is going to explain that.” Remmel said. W hite did not return telephone m essages left on his answering machine by The Associated Press. A team spokesman said general m anager Ron Wolf, coach Mike Holmgren and team president Bob Harlan would have nothing to say about W hite's change of heart until after the news conference. Packer fans rejoiced at W hite's change of heart. “W onderful. What can be better? H e’s the greatest,” Louis Gardipee of Green Bay said. “If he says he’s healthy enough to play, he is. He’s got the good Lord on his side.” W hite first told H olm gren on his intention to retire shortly after the Packers were upset in the Super Bowl. But Holmgren tried to talk him out of it, offering him a parttime role as a designated pass rusher. White met with Holmgren about two weeks ago, reiter­ ating his intention to call it a career. Holmgren tried one last time to talk him out of it, but on Sunday, the two met again and White said he was through. White has missed only four games in his career, enduring a hyperextended elbow in 1994 and a tom hamstring in 1995. E-MAIL Green Bay Packers defensive end Reggie White sh ow s h is intensity in this 1997 file photo. Ju st two days after announcing his retirement from pro football, R eggie White changed h is m ind Tuesday and said he intended to play for the Packers next season. W hen W hite signed a five-year, $J9 million contract extension last year, he said he planned on playing at least through the 1998 season. He’s due to earn $2.6 million this season, with a cap value of $3.2 million. He had 11 sacks last year, giving him 176 1/2 for his 13year career. He was selected to the Pro Bowl for a record 12th consecutive time despite the back problems that limit­ ed him to part-time duty. He also had walking pneumonia the last month o f the season.
