Bolstering reading passion
goal o f tutoring program
By Becca Case
State Press
Pushing kids to read more is the goal of
a program led by the ASU Department of
Education arid Herrera Elementary School
in downtown Phoenix.
Read Write Now is a summer reading
p ro g ra m c o o rd in a te d by the W esley
Community Center in Phoenix and aided
by ASU literacy tutors. C hildren come
each m orning for safe days o f play and
learning from the center’s neighborhood of
1Oth Street and Buckeye Road.
Gangs thrive just blocks away but dare
not disturb the 42-year-old com m unity
haven. The center imparts a children’s get­
away for their adult problems of drive-by
shootings, poverty, drugs and crumbling
families, said Nina Targovnik, a family lit­
eracy coordinator for the program . The
center recognizes the kids’ tumultuous sur­
roundings and employs tutors to direct die
children toward academic activities instead
o f scholastic apathy ,
“I want more kids to be excited about
reading” Targovnik said. She believes the
kids look foward to their daily reading and

she cherishes “seeing the kids get enthusi­
astic about reading.”
The free program, also called Don't Get
Lost In Space, receives donated supplies
and trade books from ASU. Other supplies
including games, toys and books that come
from Herrera Elementary School. Lunch
and dinner are also provided by the center
free of charge.
*
Between 3 0 .to 50 kids frolic daily in
W esley's rec room during the reading pro­
gram’s months o f June and July. Youths of
every age frequent the center, some as
young as 2 o r as old as 16, b u t those
betw een 5 and 12 are m ost com m only
engaged in reading.
According to Targovnik not all children
are signed up for the tutoring, buLthose
who are gather for two hours in the early
afternoon. Sometimes a class for only the
Spanish-speaking kids follows the regular
reading sessions.
Both classes are guided by tutors Rosie
Berumen, a sophmore education major and

major. Students of any major may work at
the center and a week-long course in child

Arizona economists look at high employment, possible décline
B y A ngela Y eager
State P ress

Unemployment is down and the economy is booming,
according to the May 1998 issue of the Bank One Arizona Blue
Chip Forecast. But some economists arc calling for caution.
“An economy that is moving too fast for too long has a ten­
dency to push itself into a recession,” said Tracy L. Clark,
senior economist for the Bank One Economic Outlook Cento:
at the College of Business.
Clark, who is also editor of the Blue Chip Forecast, said he
predicts the economy will start a gradual decline in 1998.
However, he was quick to add that this decline shouldn’t cause
panic.

“This isn’t a bad thing,” Clark said. “It is better for the econ­
omy to gradually slow into a safe place than for it to collapse
into a recession.”
Not all economists share Clark’s view. In the newsletter,
Marshall Vest from the UofA said he sees the economy getting
stronger.
“All economic indicators show the economy is accelerat­
ing,” Vest satid. “The economy has dodged the bulleL caught its
breath and is now growing again.”
While employment figures showed growth for Arizona —
employment was up 4.8 percent in April — the state’s mini­
mum wage is still below the national average.
“Right now, the average wage per year in Phoenix is

$27,600, not taking into account cost of living expenses,” Clatk
said. “The national average is $28,483.”
Maricopa County is almost at full employment level at 95
percent, which means the highest number of people who can
work are employed, Clark said. The entire state is at 80 percent
and Clark said the discrepancy is easy to explain.
“Many of the more rural areas, in particular the Indian reser­
vations, have a much lower employment rate,” he said.
Whether the economy continues to grow or starts to decline,
Clark said the local economy is healthy and should stay on the
right track for the remainder of the year.

ASU to get funding boost
By J ayson P eters
State P ress

ASU staff will benefit from more than $27
million in pay increases, while the University as a
whole will see an increase in funding to compen­
sate'for growth, according to the budget passed
by the state legislature.
“ASU is growing at a tremendous rate, a lot
more than- UofA and NAU,” said Sen. Gary
Richardson, R-Chandler. “Funding for the
growth really benefits ASU.”
Richardson, an ASU alumnus with a bac­
calaureate in political science, said that this fund­
ing will help the bottom line of all three state uni­
versities, a matter he considers his calling.
The 43nd Legislature adjourned May 22 after
tWo special sessions. The first lasted for about a
month and was devoted to school construction
finance reform. The second special session was
reserved for budget appropriations.
Appropriations, to the universities included the
pay increases for professors and classified staff at
ASU Main, more than $4 million for campus
refurbishment and an alarm system at ASU East
and more than $4 million for enrollment and new
facilities at ASU West
Rep. Michael Gardner, R-Tempe, also an

ASU alumnus, said that the establishment of a
new category of DU1 violation, called Extreme
DUI, and a new ignition lock pilot program
should also concern college students.
This was also a year of important legislation
far students of all ages, said the lawmakers. Both
(Richardson and Gardner) agreed that the most
important issue of 1998 was the refram of school
construction finance for K-12 public schools.
Gardner said that he believes the bill, Students
FIRST, fixes an old problem by providing for the
basic needs of all schools, while still allowing the
wealthier schools to go beyond the bare necessi­
ties.
“ You might not get a gold-plated swimming
pool, but you’ll definitely get the things that you
need,” he said. “I hope the Supreme Court
agrees.”
The state Supreme Court ruled in 1994 that
tiie Legislature must fund classroom construction
equitably. The new bill allows school districts to
ignore a prohibition of tax-supported braids and
continue to hold braid elections.
The Court heard oral arguments on the legis­
lation June 2. No decision has been announced.

Sen. Gary Richardson, R-Chandler, helped boost legislative funding for ASU. Richardson, an
ASU graduate, served a s Sparky from 1959-1961.

M otorola layoffs to have little effect on ASU students
B y G anga S ubramanian
State P ress

The recent Motorola cutbacks will have little effect on
the employment prospects of ASU graduates, officials said.
■‘ASU has been and continues to be one o f our primary
Schools in recruiting engineering talent,” said Ken Phillips,
director o f business com m unication at M otorola SemiConductor.
The high-tech giant announced last w eek that it was
axing 15,000 jobs or 10 percent o f its Workforce world­
wide, which could m ean as m any as 2,000 jo b s in the
Valley where Motorola has a workforce of 20,000.
Most of the cuts will be in the semi-conductor products

division, Phillips said.
“Our graduates get multiple job offers,” said Michael
Kozicki, director of the Center for Solid State Electronics
Research at ASU.
.
' Raymond Castillo, director o f career services at ASU,
agreed that students set to graduate shouldn’t be too wor­
ried about the cutbacks.
“They (Motorola) were here recruiting and they have
been recruiting steadily from ASU over the past few years,”
Castillo said. “We will see a shift in the types of candi­
dates.”
Phillips said there will be more of an'emphasis placed on
those candidates with engineering talent.

According to Phillips, Motorola is looking for electrical
engineers skilled in chip designing and tool designing.
Other areas tk-geted are process engineering and computer
science, he added.
“In these areas we have an active college recruitment
program,” he said, adding that the compensation packages
offered to pew recruits would be competitive.
“It is a very competitive market for engineering talent,”
Phillips said. “You can reduce your employment numbers
substantially by attrition or Voluntary severance.”
“We don’t like layoffs,” he said. “It’s clearly our last
option.”

Good luck.

this tactic o f mass arm am ent — instilling in crim inals
the fear o f a “w ell-arm ed public.” This motivation sore­

New dean to move law school to ‘next level’
B y S t e p h a n ie P aterik
S tate P ress

A long w ith the new year, ASU
will be welcoming a new dean at the
College of Law in January.
Patricia White, currently a profes­
sor at the U n iv ersity o f U tah, was
recently chosen out o f seven candi­
dates by ASU President Lattie C oor
and Provost Milton Glick. According
to Glick, W hite sto o d out from h e r W hite
co m p etito rs because she is k now l­
edgeable and
w ell-rounded in h er field.
“She has mixed teaching, practicing, and scholarship
very well, which is why we are confident that she has the
skills to move our law school to the next level,” Glick said.
White will be taking over the post from Interim Dean

Alan M atheson, who assum ed the position a year ago.
Former Dean Richard Morgan left to become the founding
dean of law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
A lthough she does not officially begin work at the
University until the spring semester, she will visit once a
month to meet with faculty and get acquainted with Arizona.
“I’ve barely been to Arizona, so it’s definitely something
new to me. I’m trying to meet as many of the alums and fac­
ulty as 1 can to talk about long-term ideas,” White said.
While the new dean hasn’t yet assumed the position,
she has already made connections to the University and
local legal communities.
“She’s made wonderful connections with the commu­
nity while here,” said C lick about W hite’s interpersonal
skills and desire to gain community input.
She now sits on the Board of Governors o f the Arizona
State Bar, an established duty of the deans o f law at both

Costs add up for Rio Salado project
B y G ang a Subramanian
State P ress

As the Rio Salado Town Lake becomes a reality,'offi­
cials are busy toting up expense figures for operations and
maintenance.
According to Janice M. Schaefer, economic develop­
m ent d ire c to r, th e p ro p o se d o p e ra tin g b u d g et from
February to June 1999 will be $ 1,382,014.
“We have used an internally com petitive approach,”
Schaefer said, adding that the lake operations is estimated
to be more than $100,000, while water quality management
will bid out at ju st more than $50,000.
The largest expenditure is more than $300,000 for elec­
tricity, provided by Arizona Public Service.
“Wells are being pumped all the time,” she said.
Schaefer said during the period of lake filling there will
be a need to implement security, water quality testing, dam
operations, pump maintenance, and genera] park operation.
The park is targeted to open in May 1999 and during
that period security and general park operations will be
increased, Schaefer said.
Kevin K otsur, north patrol division com m ander for
Tempe Police, said police services, equipment including
patrol boats would cost more than $70,000 from February
to June 1999. Six new personnel would augment the securi­
ty team, he added.
Mayor Neil Giuliano expressed his concern about die
customer service training needs of the six additional securi­
ty service personnel.

“From the public perception, they are more than law
enforcement people,” Giuliano said. “They are goodwill
ambassadors. Can we ensure that die training is not just law
enforcement but general information?”
According to Kotsur, the consumption of alcohol aboard
boats offering dinner cruises w ould be lim ited to two
drinks per person.
“The less alcohol, die better off and safer the park will
be,” Kotsur said, adding that security cameras would be
placed on both ends of the lake.
Kotsur said he expected to see sailboats, canoes and
rowboats on the lake and pedestrian traffic and rollerblad­
ing in the surrounding park area.
“There is going to be tremendous interest in the devel­
opment of the lake,” Giuliano said.
Kotsur said Tempe Police will seek the assistance of the
Maricopa County Sheriff s office in terms of training and
equipment.
“W e have a great re la tio n sh ip w ith th e S h e r if f s
office;” Kotsur said. “We can experiment with their equip­
ment on our lakes.”
The exact hours the lake and park will be open to the
public have not yet been determined.
The police department has assumed, for budget purpos­
es, that the activity on the water would be permitted from 6
a.m. to 6 p.m. and the use o f the park prem ises would
extend till midnight.
Kotsur said it has not been decided if the hours would
vary Seasonally .

NEW YORK (AP) — Katie Couric says
her husband’s death was a “crusing blow,” but she
has forged ahead for the sake of her daughters.
A tearful Ms. Couric spoke for the first time
Thursday about coping with the death of her hus­
band, Jay Monahan, a lawyer and legal expert for
NBC. He died of colon cancer Jan. 24 at age 42.
‘The last year of my life is still too difficult to
grasp and too painful to recount,” the 41-year-old co­
host of NBC’s Today show told mote than 1300
people at an awards luncheon for businesswomen.
“Now I know the sheer terror of living with
a life-threatening illness and being a part o f
that life evety single day.”
The couple’s daughters are 2 and 6.
“How do you go on when fate delivers
such a crushing blow that it causes permanent
damage to your heart? I’ve often wondered,”
Ms. Couric said.
“People ask how and why do you go on
and do what you have to do. I do it because I
have two girls who are depending on me ... to
show them what you have to do when life
throws you a major curve ball.”
Best Indian Restaurant - 1997

NEW YORK (AP) — Pulp Fiction direc­
tor Quentin Tarantino is charged with assault
for allegedly punching a woman .in the face
while taking a swing at another man.
Tarantino, 35, was ordered Thursday to
appear in Court next week for arraignment. He
could get up to a year in jail.
-Fashion stylist Leila Mwangi, 25, told
police that T arantino tried to slug her
boyfriend at a restaurant May 1. She said she
took the punch instead and was cut on the
forehead.
The boyfriend, Barron Claiborne, said
Tarantino took a swing at him in an argument
over how Hollywood portrays blacks.
LONDON (AP) — Margaret Thatcher has
authorized a biography of herself to be pub­
lished only after her death.
The 72-year-old former prime minister will
give Charles Moore, editor of the Daily Telegraph,
access to her personal and political papers.
The biography is expected to be published
in two or three volumes by Penguin Press.

From argum ents that m etal bats are tilting the bal­
ance o f the game to issu es'o f safety, aluminum bats are
em broiled in an increasing debate over their use. Should
wooden bats return to collegiate baseball or is the e ra of
aluminum here for good? Are aluminum bats to blame?
It's a debate that has coaches and baseball officials from
L ittle League to the collegiate ranks divided in their
beliefs.
“I think that it's simply abundantly clear that there’s
going to be a change in the bat,” said USC head coach
M ike G illespie. “ It’s probably not an issue w hether I
thin k they should o f th e y sh o u ld n ’t be (changed) or
whether anybody thinks they should or should be. It ju st
seems to be a foregone conclusion that it’s coming, it’s
ju st a m atter o f w hen.”
Others aren’t so sure.
-‘T he gam e is in g o o d balance and the com petition
level is fine." said LSU head coach Skip Bertman. “The
gam e is more popular today that at any point in history.
W e're setting attendance records. 1 don’t think anything
heeds to be done to change the game.
" I f a n y th in g , th e y s h o u ld in v e s tig a te th e b a ll,
because it may not be the same year after year.” v
But ask G illespie, and h e 'd say it’s the bats that have
gone “nuclear,” hot the balls.
v Through technology and the use o f different m ateri­
als to d a y 's alum inum bats have becom e lig h ter and
stronger, which has som e coaches and o fficials co n ­
cerned.
.
In a d d itio n to b ein g m ore d u ra b le the stro n g e r,
lighter bats are a far cry from their wooden counter­
parts. ; ■■■.
;
.... -■■
W ood b ats, w hich are used alm ost ex clu siv ely in
professional baseball, tend to break if not used proper­
ly. ASU head coach Pat Murphy said he estim ated that
in a six -m o n th p e rio d , y o u n g e r p la y e r s c o u ld go
through at least 99 wooden bats. He also said that in

games, home runs have been a m ajor factor.
“I ’ve been in gam es where w e’d h it six hom e runs,
and som e o f them w ere jam shots,” said T igers ,first
baseman Eddy Fum iss, who hit 27 home runs during the
regular season. “(Against USC) we caught them on the
barrel every time. A couple were in the stands, one was
over the c e n te r field fence. W e w ere h ittin g the ball
well.” . •
B ut is the bat to blam e for the increased hom e run
production? Perhaps. M urphy said the increased home
run production by many teams in college baseball is nat­
ural. In fact, hom e run statistics and hittin g averages
have rem ained somewhat Constant in recent years. Still,
Murphy added that it would be the issue of safety, not of
the g am e’s balance, that w ould spur a change in the
bats.
“W ith all the buzz about safety ... I think that we will
take a look at it and try to see if the gam e is better suit­
ed for a d iffe re n t m akeup o f the b a t,” M urphy said.
“Safety concerns me, not only w ith the bat, but with
everything: helm ets, catcher's gear, whatever. Safety is
always an issue.” _

Safe Bats?
In recen t m o n th s, the con cern o v e r p lay er safety
also has grow n and w ith' good reaso n : b a lls hit o ff
m etal bats g enerate m ore speed and react differently
than those hit o ff w ooden ones. W hat begins as a 90
mph pitch is transform ed into a 100 m ph-plus bullet
— a bullet that can generate enough force to shatter
bone.
W hen ASU pitcher Ryan M ills, then a freshman, was
hit in the face with a baseball by a line drive in 1996,
m any blam ed the bat, not the b all, for the accident.

It’s the
fear o f sim ila r in ju rie s that have fo rced som e L ittle
League teams to return to using wooden bats. And many
b eliev e th at a line d riv e h it w ith enough v elo city to
injure could hit a pitcher regardless o f the bat’s com po­
sition.
R ecently, how ever, Little League Baseball stated in a
report that injuries to pitchers from batted balls have
decreased by 60 percent. The report was based on data
c o m p ile d o v e r a s ix -y e a r p erio d b eg in n in g in 1992.
Little League B aseball’s statem ent also said that based
on the data, no lim its would be made on the weight dif­

it would continue its research.

To ease co n g estio n and p rev en t pro b lem s fo r the
1,500 residents, Planei Bluegrass, the festival’s organiz­

edge o f town, where fans put up tents or roll out sleep' ing bags.
B uses shuttle them to the to w n 's park, w here they
stretch out on blankets or settle into lawn chairs for per­

“It’s kind o f a m ini-W oodstock.” says Jen M aland,

“Telluride, I would say is in a class by itself.”
B luegrass suits this tow n, nestled in a rugged box

Founded during the 1870s mining boom, T elluride’s
population soared to as m any as 5,000 as prospectors

When the boom faded, so did the town. The popula­

They also m aintain the Free Box, a set o f outside

If you’re nostalgic for Star Wars, From Here to Eternity,
and Romancing the Stone, this film is for you.
All these elements combined make for .quite entertaining
summer fare.
But don’t be confused by the commercials — this is not
an adventure film. It’s about 15 percent action and 85 per­
cent romantic comedy .
Anne Heche plays Robin Monroe, an assistant editor at a
n a tio n a l w o m e n ’s m a g a z in e , w h o se very R o ss-lik e
boyfriend, David Schwimmer, wisks her to the Pacific.
W hen she has to do a one-day photoshoot in nearby

Disguised a s a man, Mulan rides into battle in Disney’s latest full-length animated film , Mulan.

Tahiti, she charters a plane flown by a reluctant Quinn
Harris (Harrison Ford).
W hat follows is quite entertaining comedic madness.
Sure, the two stars get Shot at, crash a couple of times and
are capsized. But that is deceptive. Because action doesn’t
dominate this film.
What it lacks in action, it makes up for in humor.
Take Heche’s portrayal of a hardened New Yorker, for
instance. She m akes the characterizations atypical and
fresh. She makes quite a fool o f herself, and does it well.
She shows herself as vulnerable, something not charac­
teristic for the readers of her magazine.
Ford acts Well, as usual. Six Day, Seven Nights director
Ivan Rietman said he picked Ford because he “conveys all

the qualities the part required: wit, manliness and confi­
dence.”
Which is true o f Ford’s characterizations as the rough,
crotchety pilot. Ford actually flew the plane for most of the
flying sequences.
However, in his first scene, watching him fix his broken
plane, I half expected a Stormtrooper to begin shooting at
hint.
But that is nostalgia and thè film is pleasantly littered
with it.'
Where this film does error is in the advertising. Those
looking for pure action will be disappointed.
While the jokes may seèm cliché, Heche and Ford deliv­
er performances that make for a fun film.

Sure, you probably haven’t heard about this film and
you may have to scan the Valley to find a theater that is
playing this flick. But it’s worth it.
Music from Another Room stars Jude Law as Danny,
who at age five helps deliver Anna Swan. Following her
birth, he vows to marry her someday.
Twenty-five years later, Danny returns to his home­
town only to find Anna doesn’t have a clue who he is
and she is in love with wealthy, dashing Jon Tenney.
Danny’s quest for Anna is peppered by fam ily mem­
bers that embrace him m òre quickly than Anna does. It
is these supporting characters, that provide wacky and
endearing moments that give the m ovie depth.
The ensemble cast includes Academy Award nom i­
nee Brenda Blethyn, who stars as A nna’s kooky mother.
M artha Plimpton portrays A nna’s man-hating, acerbictongued sister, Karen, who agrees to help Danny win

Richard Cartwright/MGM Distribution Co.

Fate or fantasy? Danny (dude Law) believes he is destined to
marry Anna Swan (Gretchen Moll) in Orion Picture’s romantic
comedy M usic From Another Room .

A nna if he stars in her m ale-b ash in g , ultra-fem in ist
play.
The film is filled with memorable scenes like the one
in w hich A nna’s sister-in-law pulls a gun on her hus­
band at the dinner table — and nobody bats an eye.
The lead actors are strong as well. A nna is played
convincingly well by G retchen M ol, w hose character
Struggles with the duty o f being the responsible kid in
the family.
L aw ’s perform ance resonates as w ell because his
portrayal leaves you wondering who the character is and
who Law is. He and Mol play well against each other to
aptly show the contrasts in their characters.
The Hollywood grapevine has lately been whispering
loudly that the studios are trying to make Law a star.
Suffice it to say he may do that on his own, judging
fro m th is film and h is sp e c ta c u la r p e rfo rm a n c e in

Gattaca.
T h is rom antic comedy is ju st w hat it claim s to be —
nothing m ore, nothing less — but one surely to please.

Language not important in ‘Beyond Silence’

From translating conversations with people in the commu­
nity to blasting the radio late at night (one advantage, Lara
states, of having deaf parents); this writer knew what he
was doing when he sat down to create.
Set in a sm all German town, spoken in the intricate
German tongue, this flick’s Cinematography is also breath­
taking. Although it was built on a small budget, the use of
lighting and shadow holds a little spark o f creative genius.
The cinematography nicely fuses with a desire to portray
how family love and warmth rise above ignorance and mis­
understanding
To portray this, a metaphor of music is utilized in a most
clever fashion. The central prem ise o f the film is that
music, much like life, does not need to be heard to be felt.
(This point is conveyed through a scene in which Lara and
a romantic interest participate in an activity with deaf chil­

dren. Music is blasted and although the tittle ones cannot
hear the tunes, they lie on their stomachs on .the floor to
feel the vibrations.)
Interestingly enough, the film flows like music, and
although vibrations can obviously not be felt, a general
feeling is projected in place o f these.
Also, although it is laden with English subtitles (which
are normally quite a distraction), the film captures the idea
that language is not important when exploring love, adora­
tion and difficult struggles in life.
W hether one’s language is American Sign Language,
English, German or Swahili, the point is that the heart and
the human condition are universal and ultimately triumph
over différences in communication and expression.
Oh, and yes, this film does this tenderly yet forcefully
— with grace and wit.

Baseball season a ‘Thunder Road’ o f w ins, losses
B y L ori H aro
State P ress

Call A SU’s head baseball coach Pat Murphy psychic,
but did anybody really think that when he named die 1998
season “Thunder Road” it would really live up to its name?
Murphy christens each season with a theme song and
for this year he decided that Bruce Springsteen’s “Thunder
Road” was m ost appropriate because he knew that this
team would go through its ups and its downs . .. and it has.
Compiling a 41-23 overall record, 18-11 in the Pac-10
Southern EHvision wasn’t an easy feat as the Sun Devils
played 34 games against top-25 teams, but the tough level
o f competition was well worth the benefits it gave to the
team. Learning to play and win the tough games gave ASU
the confidence to realize they could beat anyone. A confi­
dence that kept them winning in the post season and put
them in a position to reach their number one goal.
“Our number one objective is to win a national champi­
onship,” Murphy said before the season started. “T hat’s
been p u r objective every year. A lot of people have said
w e’ve been close, but close isn’t what we’re looking for.
We play in a conference and play a schedule that prepares
you for the level of competition you will face (in the) post
season. It’s a huge challenge.”
This season, again, it was close but no cigar.
However, like Ryan Mills said after the championship
game loss, “W e’re the second best team and you know, it’s
not too bad. W e’ve got a lot to be proud of.”
M ills is right. The 1998 A SU baseball season was
something to be proud of and the following is a season-in­
review breakdown by month:

January: (7-0)
The Sun Devils got the season started right as they went
undefeated for their first seven games. The reason for the
7-0 record though was because they faced relatively soft
teams, taking on the University of Hawaii-Hilo for a five
game sweep in Hawaii.
ASU’s other wins came against Cal State Northridge,
New Mexico State and Florida International at the Sun
Devil Diamond Classic.

February: (5-5)
ASU kept February and M arch at .500, but it proved
that the Sun Devils weren’t up to par in their offense. The
Sun Devils started this month with their first losses, drop­
ping a pair to Florida State. They came back to win two
against W ashington State, but lost the final one in the
series, a 17-12 slugfcst.
ASU then took two from Cal as it started the conference
season, but evened out its Six-Pac record by losing two to
No. 1 Stanford. The team fell especially victim to their soft
bats in the games against Stanford as the Cardinal shel­
lacked the Sun Devils for two big wins, 15-2 and 17-5,
against ASU’s two best pitchers Mills and Phill Lowery.

March: (9-9)
However the team started M arch o ff right by handing
Stanford their first loss. The Sun Devils also took two of

three games from UCLA and beat Oklahoma once in a two
game m id-w eek series. But things didn’t go the team ’s
way for long as they headed on a five game road trip over
Spring Break. Unfortunately for ASÙ it wasn’t fun in the
sun when it took on USC and Fresno State and lost each
game while in California.
But once an attitude adjustment was made things started
to turn around for ASU the very next weekend as they
swept Cal, including a come-from-behind win that notched
Murphy’s 500th career victory.

April: (12-3)
The end of March was promising, but it was in April
when the team positively rolled along the “Thunder Road”
headed towards their m ost victories o f the season in a
month. ASU kept their conference streak going, taking
took care of UofA in Tucson. The sweep of the Wildcats
wasn’t just important because it kept a four game winning
streak going, but because it demonstrated that Sun Devils
had found th eir bats and regained confidence in their
offense — beating UofA twice in double digits, 20-12 and
12-4.
The hits kept on com ing as they paid back USC for
three losses sweeping the Trojans with scores o f 18-3, 7-5
and 24-4. The 18-3 win credited Mills with his greatest
perform ance o f the season as he struck out 15 batters,
which earned him national recognition and P ae-l0 Pitcher
o f the Week honors. Designated hitter Casey Myers was
named Pac-10 Player o f the Week;
The Sun Devils beat Oklahoma in an extra-inning mid­
week road game and successfully swept UCLA to bring
their win streak to 11 games, their conference streak to
four consecutive sweeps. But soon their ride along the road
became thunderous when the Sun Devils lost twice to the
Wildcats at home. They also dropped a one-run mid-week
game to New Mexico that would set the tone for the begin­
ning of May.

hard day people will find some reason to believe.”

Regional:
Everyone who follows college baseball knew that the
M idw est Regional was going to be no easy feat. W ith
teams like O klahom a State, G eorgia Tech and W ichita
State going undefeated to win the regional wasn’t expect­
ed. However that is just what ASU almost did.
Freshman Jeff Phelps was the hero in ASU’s first game
against Arkansas as his grand slam help put the Sun Devils
over the top for the win. The Sun Devils wouldn’t be so
lucky in their second game as they lost to Oklahoma State
13-8. Now in the losers bracket the team had to play a dou­
bleheader to host W ichita State and Oklahoma State, in
w h ich th ey b e a t b o th by sc o re s o f 6 -4 a n d 13-5,
respectively.
The championship game had ASU facing Georgia Tech,
a game that really showed which team wanted to go to
Omaha more. The Sun Devils, with Mills on the mound,
came up with a 3-1 over the Yellow Jackets.

College W orld Series:
The M idwest Regional win gave ASU its first trip to
Omaha since 1994 and it was the first trip for every player
on the team and M urphy’s. The Sun D evils seem ed to
glide through the series with relative ease, doing all it took
to win. The Sun Devils beat Florida State 11-10 in a game
where ASU walked 11 players, downing Miami 9-2 and
finishing off Long Beach State 14-3,
H ow ever all that eventually m attered,w as the cham ­
pionship gam e w here A SU w ould m eet Six-Pac rival
USC and lose 21-14. The gam e resem b led w hat has
become known as “Sunday in the Six-Pac”, those games
where everybody hits o ff the third starter in the rotation.
The game w asn’t pretty, but then few ASU/USC match­
ups are.

Overall Season Highlights:
May: (8-5)
ASU was all about losing one-run games in the begin­
ning of May dropping two to Stanford and one to UNLV
while on the road. The Sun Devils returned home to win
their last home game, by one run, to Southern Utah.
By this time it seems as if the season had taken its toll
on the team and th at m aybe it w as tim e fo r a break.
Murphy seemed to think so as he had the guys take a break
from baseball and prepare for finals.
The much needed break really worked as the team came
back rested to regroup and get ready for the most unbeliev­
able season of their collegiate baseball careers ... the sec­
ond season.

The Postseason
Murphy decided to name a different song for postseason
play this time choosing Springsteen’s “Reason to Believe”,
appropriately from his Nebraska album. Once again the
season song-naming prophet struck gold as the Sun Devils
proved continually at both the NCAA Midwest Regional
and College World Series that “Still at the end o f every

•Among the most pleasant surprises in the postseason
were the enormous contributions from center fielder Rudy
Arguelles, catcher Greg H alvorson, Phelps, left fielder
DuStin Delucchi and the eternal team spark plug, M ikel
Moreno.
•The defensive play by shortstop Michael Collins and
catcher Jeremy Jones.
•Senior pitcher Aaron Kramer, who along with fellow
senior pitcher Richy Leon, were completely capable on the
mound as starters or relievers.
•W illie Bloomquist, if you follow ASU baseball you

He is just a true baseball player.

It’s Simple.

by Fra n ce s Drake

Tuesday, June 16, 1998
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
You 11 be pleased with the day s
developments at work, but be
careful that a friend does not
impose upon your good nature
: in some way;.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
The accent is on togetherness
and partners w ill enjoy each
other s com pany very muchPlans involving travel could be
up in die air for the time being.
GEMINI (May 21 tp June 20)
It s a day o f both pluses and
m inuses for you in business.
Although one door opens for
you, you find that som e you
deal with are evasive and non­
committal.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Good news comes from friends
at a distance, but you could be
busy with other priorities and
may not have time for too much
socializing. Work is uppermost
on yotu mind af present;
LEO (Ju ly 2 3 to A ug. 2 2 )
Although you re maintaining a
low profile, you re also making
those behind-the-scenes moves
that w ill u ltim a te ly g e t you
ahead in your career.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept 22)
You II enjoy taking part in a
group activity. It s also a time
when b en efits c o m e through
friends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Although you 11 be pleased with
the day s fin a n cia l d e v e lo p ­
ments, you re much too prone *

to overspend.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Npv.
21) You re enthusiastic and will
m ake a g o o d im p ressio n oii
those you contact. Your heart,
th ou gh , m ay not be in your
work and you re easily distract­
ed; U tilize self-d isc ip lin e to
o vercome this.
SAGITTARIUS (N ov. 22 to
Dec. 21) It s a wonderful day to
shop for the home, but a slight
misunderstanding could occur
with a family member.
CAPRICORN (Pec. 22 to Jan. 19)
You re in a fun-loving mood
but could be a bit impression­
able in romance. Avoid dubious
fin a n c ia l sch em es and stay
away from risk-taking ventures
with capital.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
T here are pleasant d e v e lo p ­
ments for you regarding home
and family, but it could be diffi­
cult mustering up the concentra­
tion to succeed at work. Guard
against daydreaming.
PISCES {Feb. 19 to March 20)
You 11 meet with pleasant social
opportunities. There s an invita­
tion that you should definitely
attend. P rogress, th ou gh , at
work could be minimal or slow.
Y O U B O R N T O D A Y are
introspective with an analytical
mentality. You work better on
your own than in a partnership,
yet you often serve the commu­
nity in some advisory capacity.
