An in tern al U n iv ersity au d it has cleared A SU A rt
Museum officials o f misusing funds.
“The ihóney raised and deposited was spent in accor­
dance with .the donors’ wishes,” ASU President Lattie Coor
said at a June 26 meeting of the Arizona Board o f Regents
at NAU.
The audit began in September and the director o f the
ASU Art Museum was given administrative leave in March
when the state auditor general’s office concluded that more
than $275,000 may have been illegally misspent. An inter­
nad review followed.
Reviews were also conducted on the U niversity as a
whole and the ASU Foundation, a non-profit state organi­
zation established to oversee the use and acquisition of
gifts made on behalf of the school.
Internal review s found cash-handling policies to be
“sound ” Additionally, the independent accounting firm
Deloitte & Touche was hired and found a high rate o f com-«IMP*’
pliance with University spending policy.
Coor said that although A SU ’s cash-handling policies
are sound, a better, more enforceable frequent flier-mile

policy is needed. He called the current one “difficult if not
impossible — and even potentially in some ways illegal — :
to administer.”
r ' ,
j
,
The University has recommended that ABOR consider
revising the policy.
The Board also approved Stems for project initiation:

• Additions and renovations to the Sundome Center for
the Performing Arts — The Sun City W est facility and
ASU W est graduation site will receive lobby and restroom
improvements as well as an expanded stagehouse and relat­
ed theatrical equipment.

• A multi-purpose addition to the University Activity
Center — A practice gymnasium with the locker room and
training facilities for women’s gymnastics, women’s vol­
leyball programs and wrestling.

• An addition to the Intercollegiate Athletics building —
This will include a weight room, student athlete lounge, cli­
mate-controlled ticket area, new Hall o f Fame area, multi­
purpose auditorium and stadium club/dining facility.
In addition, renovations to the Technology Center were
given conceptual approval by the Board.
Coor said ASU’s biggest upcoming issue is the growing

population at the three ASU campuses, including the hous­
ing shortage at ASU Main.
“W e’re having to look at not only that, but the adequacy
of thé (housing) facilities, the MU and the new classroom
building,” he said.
Long-term plans were mentioned for an expanded MU
and a new campus bookstore.
Coor said that he was pleased with the outcome of the
meeting.
“(The regents) really understand what ASU is trying to
do and are very supportive,” he said. “(They) strongly reaf­
firmed where ASU is going and what it’s up to.”
However, student regent John Platt expressed concern
that the Board needs to revise its policy o f using student
loan revenue to fund financial aid programs, a practice he
described as “people who can’t afford to pay taxes subsi­
dizing students.”
“There are some people who have rich parents and can
afford that, but they’re in the minority,” Platt said. “The
regents are becoming much more aware of that.
“It is really a strange position when students need to talk
about financial aid and not be supportive o f it,” he said.

Tempe extends photo radar for 6 more months
B y GANGA SUBRAMAN1AN

Tempe will continue to use photo radar despite its incon­
clusive effect on the city’s overall accident rates, officials
said.
Tempe City Council decided to extend the program anoth­
er six months even though police officials say the total num­
ber o f accidents after enforcem ent o f the program has
increased marginally.
“We can ’t com e up with any conclusions,” said Sgt.
Charlie Barrett. “Would there have been more accidents with­
out photo enforcement? We dort’t know.”
Barrett said speed-related statistics have been encouraging
— the number of vehicles speeding Qver the limit by 11 or
more miles per hour has been reduced from over 3 percent to
a little over 2 percent.

According to a report released by the police department,
70 percent of all violations recorded by the photo enforce­
ment system do not result in a citation for various reasons
including gender matching, image quality, out-of-state regis­
trations and business-owned vehicles.
In addition, 24 percent of all citations issued are dismissed
because the owner of the vehicle is not the driver at the time
of the violation. According to Vice Mayor Joseph Lewis, that
shouldn’t matter.
“The owner of the. car is just as responsible for photo radar
as parking tickets,” he said.
Tempe Mayor Neil Giuliano said there weren’t enough
citations issued and that driving habits are influenced by cita­
tions.
“If you receive a citation in the mail, if affects the way you
drive whether it gets adjudicated or not,” Giuliano said.

Barrett said $6,000 has been budgeted to offset operating
costs o f the Photo Enforcement Program that are beyond
anticipated revenues, which he adds are not cost neutral.
“The program is not quite paying for itself at this time,”
Barrett said.
According to statistics, 2.5 officers would be needed to
write die tickets generated by one machine.
“You can’t com pare officers and the m achine,” said
Councilman Joe Spracale. “They do more than ju sf write tick­
ets.”
Other city officials pointed out that other communities
were having a higher success rate than Tempe and that the
program Will soon pull its own weight.
“We didn’t get into this to lose a substantial amount of
money,” said Councilwoman Linda Spears.

COTT
the shower.
BENNETT
That’s strange. I c a n ’t seem to
Columnist
turn on the water, and the shower is
colder than usual. No, 1 would call it
frigid What is wrong with tins damn thing? I’m so tired I c a n ’t
even open my eyes. Still no water. And then my roommate gets
into the shower with me! And
h e ’s wearing a suit! What the hell?
“Uh, Scott? I couldn’t help but notice that you w oe lying on
the kitchen floor with your head in the refrigerator. Are you
alright?”
“Perfectly fine, thanks. I just wanted some yogurt Say, could
you point me in the direction of the shower?’
Mental note: Kegs are meant to be shared Mental note No.'2:
Consider an intravenous caffeine drip for mornings like this.
8:50 a.m.: Arrive at the office to find a salivating herd of
reporters in front of the door. The camera lights are blinding. They
scream at me: “Mr. Bennett, would you care to comment on your
sexual relationship with Health and Human Services Secretary
Donna Shalala?’
‘There is no sexual relationship. Where do you people get this
stuff?’
“So are you saying she pressured you to lie about your sexual
relationship?’
“What sexual relationship? I’m sure she’s a very nice person,
but she is old enough to be my grandmother!”
“So your grandmother pressured you (o lie about your sexual
relationship?’
I punch the reporter in the face and run into the building, climb­
ing into an elevator as reporters nip at my heels. I have to kick Sam
Donaldson in the head to keep him off tire elevator.
10:12 a.m.: Halfway through The Washington Post, I get a
phonecafl.
“Scott, tins is your father. Your moths' and I heard the news
about you and Ms. Shalala and we wanted you to know that we are
here to support you, and that, no maos' what, we ’ll always love
you.”
“D ad you dimwit, I did not have sex with the Secretary of
Health and Human Services. The press made that up!”
“Wonderful, Scott. That is exactly what you should keep say­

S

S ta te P ress

ing. I’ve hired a lawyer to defend you. He should be there in a few
minutes.”
Noon: A knock on my door. In steps none other than the great,
the unparalleled, the indomitable - Johnny Cochran?
“Mr. Bennett, it is a pleasure, sir. Now you don’t need to worry
about a thing, Johnny’s here. And I’ve prepared a few catch phras­
es for your defense. Like ‘Donna Shalalup, she made it up.’
“But her name is Shalala, not Shalalup. And I’m pretty sure the
press made it up, not her.”
“Nothing rhymes with Shalala and it doesn’t matter who
engendered tins pernicious plot Check out tins astounding piece of
prosaic prowess: ’Shalala’s a nice lady, but Scott did not have sex
with her. ’
“But that doesn’t even rhyme!”
“Lodi here, my friend. The great hand of the almighty deals
each man only a few great rhymes in his lifetime. Anyway, look
who’s talking. I’m not die one who did the horizontal mambo with
Donna Shalala.”
“But that is totally, and completely false. I have never even met
the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This is insane.”
‘5 don ’t like it— too defensive. Try tiris: ’No comment ’
“Out of my office, Cochran.”
I pelt him with office supplies until he leaves and crawl under
my deskto cower for the next few hours.
5 p.m.: I climb out the window, into a waiting cab and
drive home to drink beer until 1 forget about the horrors of
the day. I suspect my roommate is a reporter for The New
York Times. He keeps asking me questions about my rela­
tionships with Donna Shalala, taking notes on everything I
say and he has a card in his wallet that says h e ’s a reporter
for The New York Times.
8 p.m.: My other roommate returns from his internship at the
Federal Reserve.
“How was your day,” l ade.
“Not so good Reporters kept rushing into my office, demand­
ing I answer their questions about my sexual relationship with
Alan Greenspan. They wouldn’t stop until I stabbed Dan Rather in
the thigh.”

“Has tills town no decency?’

KKK toon not funny
I think that the political cartoon “Dragging our Feet...”
was in very poor taste. It was disgusting and distasteful and
I can’t even believe it got printed. Anyone who thinks that
it was funny needs to have their head checked.
T h is carto o n w as ex trem ely in se n sitiv e , g iv en the
tragedies that have taken place not just in Texas but else­
where. This type of mockery serves only to fuel the hostili­
ties that exist on both sides. In the future, State Press needs
to use more judgment and discretion in choosing: its politi­
cal cartoons.

Sex should be taught
In this week’s “Boo’s & Bravo’s”, in a “Boo” about law­
suits involving minors who engage in sexual activities, the
editorial board of the Slate Press said, “Kids have rights too
— including the right to engage in sexual activity.”
Where is this right established? To the contrary, Arizona
Revised Statutes 13-1405 and 13-1404 describe that it is a
crime to engage in sexual contact or sexual conduct with
minor. The statutes do not stipulate that either activity is
somehow not a crime if both persons are minors. It would
seem that each minor involved in sexual activities with
another minor has both committed a crime against the other
and been a victim o f the other.
The point made by the editorial board that it is not just
the boy who is culpable would thus seem to be supported by
the law. Yet in cases cited, the culpability o f the girl is
ignored, perhaps because the consequences for her are
severe, i.e. the health risks associated with the pregnancy,
the tremendous financial responsibility of keeping and rais­
ing a child or the emotional trauma associated with adop­
tion or abortion.
W ouldn't it be better for everyone if we simply taught
our children how to deal with sex realistically, show them
the consequences of sex in an effective way, at home and at
school, rather than leaving it up to them to learn on their
own?
Lawsuits are too little too late.

In addition to incorrectly referring to the Rio Salado

W oodfill also m isrepresents the cost o f the project.
The cost o f the project w ill total approxim ately $2.3

the p riv a te secto r. An a d d itio n a l $320 m illio n w ill

com e from recaptured sales taxes generated specifically'
by the project.
W oodfillinaccurately reports the cost o f the stadium
portion o f the project to be $1.5 billion when, in actual­
ity, its cost is only $299 m illion, all o f which has been
paid for through private contributions. The voters will

through the economy.”

In the midst of her third election for a seat in thè House of
Representatives, Laura Knaperek is standing behind the same
issues she began her political career with.
Knaperek and Michael Gardener, also a republican, were
both elected in 1994 and re-elected in 1996 as the District 27
Representatives in the Arizona Legislature. They will run again
in the election November 3 against Democratic candidates
Thomas Head and Paul Valach.
Knaperek, a mother of six. said most of the issues govern­
ment straggles with are directly related to family, which is why
one of her main focuses has always been family values.
“Finding a way to keep families strong is essential right
now,” Knaperek said. “With strong families, education works

to do what is right by researching, looking at all sides of an issue
and making die best decision I can.
“I am responsive and respectful to my constituents, which is
important because taxpayers expect a responsive legislator,”
Knaperek said, adding that the current legislature has been suc­
cessful in cutting taxes, ensuring a good economy and quality
state universities.
Knaperek said she believes that what the constituents in
District 27 want Is a good education system and a strong econo­
my. She said that she “has been there on those issues and will;
continue tu be there.”
Knaperek has served on die Kyrene School Board and has
been director of the Arizona Consortium for Children with
Chronic Illness, where she worked closely with families to pur­
sue legislative change.

She also supports access to health care for the working poor
and streamlining government
‘W e really need to focus on making government work better
' for die people,” Knaperek said. “People don’t mind paying taxes
as long as they know their money is being used efficiently. It’s
when their money is used inefficiently that they get upset”
A self-described strong voice for die people, Knaperek said
that die criticisms she and other legislators have received from
the Democratic candidates are unfounded.
“I don’t believe anyone is truly dissatisfied with us as legisla­
tors, but with government in general,” she said. .“I will continue

Mary Jo West, Arizona’s first anchorwoman, spoke to faculty,
staff and student leaders at a breakfast June 24 sponsored by ASLTs
newly-formed Women’s Coalition, a new organization striving to
briqg together the different campus groups that focus on bolslermg
die status of women.
Jennifer Adkins, founder of the organization and ASU senior
English major, rounded up campus officials to attend and speak at
the breakfast Adkins said she saw the need for an umbrella organi­
zation that brings together die more specific pre-existing women’s
dubs, such as A.WARJL, Women and Leadership and R A P E ,
to unify all kinds of women and their interests.

“We can’t be afraid to fail,” West said. “We can’t be afraid to
make fools of ourselves.”
Other speakers, including Christine Wilkinson, vice president of
Student Affaire, discussed leadership and its role at the University,

Adkins stepped up to the podium at the University Club to intro­
duce ASLTs newest club.
“It was met with such excitement and synergy all the way,”
Adkais said of the development of the group.
She founded die Coalition with die goal of recruiting existing
ASU women’s groufjs to join and produced a pamphfei which spells
out its common ambitions: empowering the campus’ women, build­
ing a network erf members and resources, furthering the goals and
asp iration s of women students and seeking out and sponsoring a
vreiety of women speakers.

“W e need all kinds o f mentors, men and women, young and
old,” WiBdiison said

Ait Carter, dean of Student Life, mentioned the importance of
understanding women’s issues.
“You needaglobal perspective of what wqgien deal wih,” Carter said.

Huntington’s disease a decade ago but failed to

And in Hampson’s laboratory studies, he
discovered cannabidiol has no effect on the

psychological effects — meaning scientists

WASHINGTON (AP)— Federal scientists
have begun testing in rats a chemical from
marijuana that they say appears to protect
brain cells during a stroke.
It’s far too early to tell if the chemical,
cannabidiol, will help people, and it’s unlikely
anyone could get a protective dose by smoking
marijuana, the scientists said Thursday.
But they called the research y a y promising,
particularly because cannabidiol is not psychoac­
tive— it doesn’t cause the‘1ngh” crmikl euphoric
effects peopfe get from smoking marijuana
‘This is a better candidate” against stroke than
other marijuana chemicals, said Aiden Hampson
of the National Institute of Modal Health.

proved to be a potent antioxidant that protected
animal brain cells exposed to the toxic neurochemical that is produced during a stroke.

Think Arizona is earthquake free? Think again
B y M ichelle R ushlo
A ssociated P ress W riter

'

Residents first beard a rushing, roaring noise. Twenty
seconds later, the ground caught up.
A jo lt hit, knocking down chimneys, shaking plaster
from ceilings and smashing dishes. School children fled
their classrooms, nearly trampling one another.
Terrified residents scrambled into the streets as walls
cracked and buildings swayed one Thursday afternoon in
1906.
The great San Francisco earthquake? No, a magnitude
6.2 quake in Flagstaff.
Compared to California, Arizona is hardly a hotbed of
seismic activity. But consider this: in 1887 a magnitude 7.4
earthquake struck Mexico ju st south o f Douglas. It was
pow erful enough to dam age buildings, toss goods off
shelves and move furniture 90 miles away in Tucson. ,
And from 1906 to 1912, three fairly large quakes rocked
northern Arizona. No one was killed, but news reports indi­
cate that boulders plummeted off hills, walls cracked and
chimneys collapsed.
As recently as January this year, W inslow residents
were shaken awake by a magnitude 3.9 earthquake cen­
tered about 14 miles outside the city.
Researchers seem to agree that Arizona is not likely to
be slammed with a major earthquake, any time soon, but
since 1988, there has been an increase in the amount of
seismic activity in northern Arizona, said Terry Wallace, a
professor of geophysics at the University of Arizona.
“We seem to see them go in cycles. We see them come
in bunches and then long periods without anything,” he
said. “It could be that Arizona will enter another cycle of
earthquakes.”
Yet, he cautioned that Arizdnans face far more risk of
injury from flash floods or storm s than they do earth­
quakes.
The m ost active A rizona faults run in a band from
Pay son through the G rand Canyon and into Utah, said
R am on A rrow sm ith, assistan t p rofessor o f geology at

Arizona State University.
Southern A rizona also has several active faults, and
Yuma is just SO miles from the San Andres fault. In all,
Arizona has at least 19 active faults.
The state has even been listed as “high risk,” the second
most serious category, by the National Earthquake Hazard
Reduction Program.
The reason Arizona is “high risk” is because the state
could potentially suffer serious damage if a large earth­
quake hits here or near its borders, said A1 Franco, program
m an ag er fo r the A riz o n a E a rth q u a k e P re p a re d n e ss
Program.
“Any o f these small earthquakes have the potential to be
a big earthquake.” he said. "From my perspective we will
have a damaging earthquake. We just don't know when.”
But Wallace said compared to places such as California
Arizona’s earthquake risk isn't that high. Under the Unified
Building Codes. Arizona generally ranks as low risk for
earthquake damage with only Yuma ranking slightly higher
because of its proximity to the San Andreas Fault.
The real danger, Wallace and Arrowsmith said, is the
economic turmoil the state would suffer if a large earth­
quake were to hit Southern California or northern Mexico,
where large faults lie. A huge quake would probably mean
the cutoff o f food, gasoline and other supplies.
While Arrowsmith and Wallace agree the likelihood of a
large earthquake hitting inside Arizona’s borders in rela­
tively remote, they say it is a good idea to be prepared in
case one does.
State officials advise people to take such precautions as
storing bottled water, a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher.
The advice is pretty much applicable for any kind of a
natural disaster, and predicting earthquakes can be tricky
b u sin e ss b e c a u se o f th e lim ite d a m o u n t o f h isto ry
researchers have to compare.
“If you live out W est and you have beautiful scenery
because o f mountains and valleys, there is probably geo­
logical activity there,” Wallace said.

During an earthquake
■ If you’re outside, get into the open, away from
buildings or utility wires.
• If you arc in a ear, slop the vehicle but stay
inside. Do not stop under bridges, trees or light posts
• If you are indoors, get under a sturdy piece of
furniture o r in a doorway, away from windows or
outside doors
• Do not use candles, m atches or o th er open
flames during m after a tremor, because they could
ignite during a ga3 leak.

After an earthquake
• Use the phone only for emergencies
• Be prepared for after shocks
• Do not enter partially collapsed or dam aged
buildings.

• Avoid exposed clectiicol wiring
• Do not use elevators, because power may fail.

S tiff sentence in A SU point-shaving scandal
B y T im M olloy
A ssociated P ress

P H O E N IX — T he alleg ed m asterm ind o f A rizona
Stare’s basketball point-shaving scandal was sentenced
last week to 46 months in prison, a tougher sentence than
the government had sought.
Prosecutors had recommended that Benny Silman, 27,
receive a 42-month sentence for rigging and gambling on
the outcome of basketball games during the 1994 season,
when he was an ASU student.
U S. D istrict Court Judge Robert Broomfield justified
the harsher punishment by saying the scandal could dis­
courage poor children from trying to succeed in Sports
and im prove their lives.
“T he gam bling h ere w ent bey o n d ju s t y o u rself. It
affects a lot of us,” he said.
Silman entered a plea agreement with prosecutors in
April, admitting five counts of sports bribery.
“Through this all I think I’ve realized I was addicted
to a lifestyle taken over by drug use, alcohol abuse and
gam bling,” he said.
Silman adm itted bribing Stevin “Hedake” Smith and

Isaac Burton to miss shots during the 1994 season so he
and other gamblers could beat the projected point spread
in four games.
Smith and Burton pleaded guilty to their role in the
schem e in D ecem ber: Joseph G agliano, 29, a Phoenix
investm ent adviser, also pleaded guilty, as did alleged
b o o k m a k e rs D o m in ic M a n g ia m e le , 6 1 , o f M o u n t
Prospect, 111., and his son, Joseph M angiam ele, 36, o f
Arlington Heights, 111.
Silman is the first o f the defendants to be sentenced.
Assistant U S. Attorney Joe Lodge said the others would
likely receive reduced sentences because they cooperated
with investigators.
“I think 46 months in prison sends a message to the
next would-be campus ‘bookkeeper,’” he said.
Lodge said Silman would likely serve almost all of his
prison sentence. He refused to say whether prosecutors
were investigating other possible suspects.
N e ith e r S ilm an, o f N orth H ollyw ood, C alif-, nor
h is law yer, D avid C henoff, w ould com m ent after the
sentencing.
A t C h e n o ff s request, B room field agreed to recom -

niend that Silman serve his sentence at a federal m ini­
m u m -se c u rity p ris o n cam p in S o u th ern C a lifo rn ia .
Broomfield also agreed to request that Silman be allowed
to participate in 'a 500-hOur drug program, and ordered
him to get counseling for his gambling addiction.
The M angiameles, Smith and Burton are scheduled for
sentencing Sept. 28; Gagliano’s sentencing is scheduled
for Sept. 14.
The alleged conspirators placed m ore than 61 bets
totaling $506,000 on the basketball games in w hat the
FBI said was a major sports gambling scandal.
A federal grand jury returned a 72-count indictment in
December against the Mangiameles, Silman and Gagliano,
accusing them o f sports bribery, money laundering and
racketeering.
Smith, the Sun Devils’ No. 2 all-time leading scorer,
agreed to fix the four games for $ 20,000 a game, in part
to erase a reported $10,000 gam bling debt to Silm an,
a c c o rd in g to S m ith and S ilm an ’ s p le a a g reem en ts.
Sm ith also adm itted to recruiting B urton to take part
in the schem e; B urton w as p aid $4,300 for helping fix
tw o gam es.

Sound like something found only in,the tropical rain for­

David Webb, manager o f the arboretum, said the new

The project will come with a price tag of about $60,000,
but has been largely funded by the Sun Devil Club and pri­
vate donations.
“Before (construction) all this area amounted to was just
a big dirt lot,” Webb said. “Now people can come here for
retreats or cookouts or to just eat lunch if they want.”

A major feature o f the park is a waterfall that flows info ties, he said. “(The arboretum ) will provide an outdoor

According to Richard Harris, the program coordinator,:
the University has been a public arboretum for nearly a cen­ ed in die earlier developments o f the facility .

WASHINGTON — Overweight Americans have a new
dieting goal: Lose 10 percent of your body weight.
That’s the word from the National Institute o f Health’s
first w eight guidelines, unveiled June 17 along w ith a
campaign to help people shed pounds more easily.
The message is: “W eight loss is possible,” said Karen
Donato, obesity education coordinator for the National
Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. “W e’re not talking about
a substantial amount of weight that one needs to lose.”
And who should heed this weight-loss advice? Some
97 million American adults who have a body m ass index,
or BM1, o f 25 or above, the NIH said. Being overweight
puts people at risk for diabetes, heart disease and other ill­
nesses.
BMIs measure weight in relation to a person’s height.
To determ ine BMI, m ultiply weight in pounds by 703,
th en d iv id e th a t re su lt by h e ig h t in in ch es sq u ared .
Som eone who is 5 feet, 3 inches and 141 pounds, for
example, has a BMI o f 25 and thus is labeled overweight.
Someone who is 5-feet-10 and 207 pounds has a BMI of
30 and is obese.
The NIH’s new guidelines do not dramatically change
the government’s definitions o f overweight and obesity.
In fact, federal dietary guidelines already said anyone
with a BMI o f 26 or above was overweight, and 25 was
borderline. The new NIH guidelines say overweight starts
with a BMI o f 25 instead o f 26 — a difference o f a mere 4

pounds fo r someone who’s 5-feet-3.
That doesn’t mean chubby Americans should immedi­
ately strive for that magic BM I o f 25, stressed Donato.
The first goal o f people with BMIs o f 25 to 29.9 should be
to stop gaining pounds, she said.
B ut overweight people who have two or more disease
risk factors — such as high blood pressure or high choles­
terol — or anyone with a BM I o f 30 or greater should
im m ediately try to lose 10 percent o f their weight, she
said.
The government is planning consumer-friendly advice
to help. One recommendation is to beware o f certain fatfree foods that actually are high in calories.
“Everybody’s chomping down on everything labeled
low -fat,” D onato said. “Y ou can ’t forget that calories
count.”
The governm ent also is creating w eight-loss m enus
geared to ethnic cuisine, everything from pork stirfry with
vegetables to chicken tacos.
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute will send
this diet information to health care workers and post it on
the Internet, Donato said.
The new guidelines are worthwhile, even though they
m irror recom m endations by other health agencies, said
Dr.- R ic h a rd A tk in so n o f th e A m e ric a n O b e sity
Association, w ho counsels his own patients to strive for
BMIs in the healthiest range, around 21 or 22.
“There are a lo t o f people out there who really don’t
know they might be at risk.”

S t a t e P r ess

Athletes of a different
breed offered up dazzling
performances and eye-pop­
ping acrobatics at ESPN’s
1998 Summer X Games in
San Diego.
The 10-day event featured
eight different extreme sprats
performed for nearly 250,000
spectators from extremely
different segments in society
— teenagers with pierced
hoses and tattoos to dads clad
in Hawaiian shirts. Gold, sil­
ver and bronze medals are
awarded for the highest
judged score in skateboard­
ing, bicycle stunt riding, in­
line skating, big-air snow­
boarding, skysurfing, sportclimbing and water sports.
Skateboarding is one o f
the main attractions of the X
Games. Tony Hawk was the
odds-on favorite in the vert
singles, «here single skaters
on one board perform stunts
and reach the type of air
Micheál Jordan could only
(beam of achieving on a halfpipe. Andy McDonald, how­
ever, executed three perfect
runs «and walked away with
the gold this year.
Hawk wasn’t sore that
someone else stole this year’s
title from him — that’s not
what the Games are all about.
The competition is fierce, but
these athletes have respect
for their'peers. Later, Hawk
and McDonald joined forces
for the ultimate pair in die
vert doubles event and buried
' everyone else.
The bicycle stent riding
competitions were equally, if
not more, exciting than the
skateboarding— riders reach
heights up to three stories off
the half-pipe.
Dave Mira was the first
athlete of this year’s games to
win three golds by taking
vert, vert doubles and street.
Not e ven a crash early in the
vert doubles could hold this
California native down. Mira
surpassed Hawk as die alltime X Games gold medal
winner with eight first-place
performances.
The story that personifies
the X Games was 31-yearold local product Dave
Voelker’s announcement of
retirement A huge Evil
Knieval fan, Voelker wanted
to go out in style. After land­
ing on his head, he got up
and staggered a bit before
medical attention arrived.
Voelker refused the help and
took off his helmet, saluting
the hometown crowd who
loved every minute o f it
The X Chimes aren’t nec­
essarily about winners and
losers and most of the time
major wrecks are viewed as
courage. A fearless athlete
trying to give something
back to die fans, and to the
sport he/she loves so much, is
one of the deepest thanks the
Games will ever know.

In the single air com petition (left), an unidentified skater com ­

Hawk was favored to win the com petition after dom inating the
past few games, but was beat by Andy McDonald, who execut­

up for the doubles, taking the gold. For the skating events,
award purses can reach m ore than $26,000.

A faint cry rose from the lawn seats as
soon as opening act M onster M agnet left
; die stage. '

Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!
The anticipation o f a divine being in
their presence led to restlessness.
The minutes past as stagehands quickly
p rep ared th e a lta r and w hen th e lig h ts
faded, it was time for worship.
A sound, as if it was coming from heav­
en, hit the air. The sound of a string instru­
ment meeting distortion, pumped with thou­
sands of watts o f amplification.
A wave o f cheers rushed the stage — he
had arrived.
Lights from the heavens shone down on
the deity as he cranked the flanged notes.
The other disciples joined in and the service
began.
Van Halen kicked off the summer leg of
their tour in Phoenix Wednesday in support
of their latest release. Van Halen III.
• The group opened the show w ith the
hard-hitting classic “Unchained." Guitargod Eddie Van Halen was intense. The ax
man. now 43-years-young, was jumping as
if a hip injury suffered in 1995 happened in
another lifetime.
,

C hange/N othin’ stays the same
Gary Cherone brought some much need­
ed energy to the band, The former Extreme
front man was all over the stage climbing
on speakers and risers to electrify a crowd,
a cro w d co n tain in g som e sk ep tics Who
doubted the band’s future.
Twelve years ago when Hagar took the
point, many critics thought the end of Van
Halen was coming. Their first reléase with

Gary Cherone (left) and Eddie Van Halen com e together for a harmony in “O ne I Want” -at Blockbuster Desert Sky Pavilion W ednesday. Van Halen
last visited the Valley in O ctober 1995.

Hagar, 4>150, was No. 1 on the U.S. charts
before the group had a chance to tour.
Van Halen 111 appeared at No. 4 on the
charts, but quickly fell from the Top 100.
Band members, however, said they believe
the tour will boost album sales.

Unchained/And you hit the ground
runnin’

E d d is Van Haian so lo s during “Unchained.”
The band opened with this cla ssic in support
o f their new album Van H alen III.

- E ddie, b assist M ichael A nthony and
drummer Alex Van Halen moved into VH

to show off the vocal abilities o f their nevy
front man.
C herone handled David Lee Roth era
songs “M ean Streets” , “Rom eo D elight”
and “A in’t Talkin’ bout Love” in a style all
to his own. H ow ever, at tim es his voice
seemed tim id when trying to belt out the
H agar boom in “W hen It’s Love,” “Why
Can’t This Be Love,” “Dreams,” “Humans

T he 3 6 -y ear-o ld retu rn ed to form in
“Fire in the Hole” and “Year to the Day”
and saved the encore with his enthusiasm in
“Panama” and “Jump.”
The older Van Halen brother got in on
the action with a pounding drum solo. Alex
moved through the solo flawlessly despite
an arm injury in early June when a piece o f

p la ste r fell fro m a c e ilin g at D ocks in
Hamburg, Germany.

‘O ut o f Sight’ provides strong tale o f lowlifes

W ith his 1989 h it, sex, lie s a n d vid eo ta p e, Steven

exceptional prom ise. That prom ise rem ained unfulfilled

considered too esoteric to attract large audiences.
O ut o f Sight proves that the early predictions were not
exaggerated. Soderbergh has converted another Elmore

Screenwriter Scott Frank has managed to retain the bizarre

Romance o f ‘Gone W ith the W ind’ withstands test o f tim e
B y L ouie R oberts
State-P ress ■

Gone W ith the W ind, M argaret M itch ell’s m asterpiece
o f th e ages, is an ep ic love Story th a t has Stood th e te st
tim e.
F ar beyond your basic run-of-the-m ill rom ance, far
beyond silly love scenes and dramatic portrayals of crises,
this screenplay has seldom heard a word o f discourse,
inspirational, brave, heart-twisting and brain-seducing, it is
a near-perfect creation.
The top-grossing movie of all time, adjustments in infla­
tion included, this prodigious film was far beyond its time.
With an origination date of 1939, Gone With the W ind is
progressive — a timeless classic that surpasses all portray­
als of human joy, suffering and love.

Here we are almost 60 years later and the film is still
adored by every class level, cultural background and age
group. There is something near-sacred about the way in
which this screenplay has held so strong the public’s atten­
tion. It simply won’t disappear.
This-may perhaps be quite frustrating to the screenwrit­
ers of the current day. Many see this film as a kind of role
model. Yet, try as they will, it cannot be matched. It will
continue to haunt writers who aspire to create masterpieces
because nothing they write cam even come close. The rea­
son — time.
The ages have changed. Greed often reigns in modernday. The ’90s, of course, are so far removed from the ‘30s
and ‘40s. It is a different time and mankind has altogether
changed. This is unfortunate, indeed.

The saddest aspect o f this change is the fact that we
have gone backwards. The love stories today are often
silly, base and trite. Movies abound with tasteless love
scenes and reek of lack o f meaning and substance. This is
merely a sign of the times.
Rather than moving forward and creating epics of neartranscendental creativity, content and portrayal o f suffering
and exalted joy, the screenwriters of today often write flip­
pant flicks about drugs and pop culture. Yes, many times
these types of films are entertaining but this is the point at
which they stop. They are limited.
Yes, it’s true th at tim es have changed and that the
screenplays reflect these transformations through the eras.

th e o n ly sa lv a g e a b le alb u m w as y o u r
Shooting Fish CD. You might as well just
dive right into that fire, because it’s better
than being left with this album.
Attempting 20-something musical obliv­
ion, die Shooting Fish compilation featured
16 various artists that captured what the
producers probably thought GenXers want­
ed to hear — the return o f the ‘80s. They
sure as heck caught that trendy wave but
drowned in their retro chaos.
I thought I was hearing Jhe theme song
to C lueless 16 times over. Badly-imitated
surf guitar, Spanish flamenco, and Vegas
lounge-fly tunes deepened my frown lines
with every cringe. Not Only did die creators
h o rrib ly m isrep resen t the college-aged
music genre, but I felt embarrassed to be in
my 20s, especially if this is what everyone
else thinks I like.
The opening song “Me & You Vs The
World” by Space starts you off in an eclec­
tic musical grouping. Bursting with xylo­
phones, double-clap beats and go-go syn­
thesizers. It inspired me to run in place,
bobbing my head from shoulder to shoulder
with a toothy grin stuck-to my face. Then I
fell into an ‘80s flashback during the dated
techno interlude.
Other remarkable tunes upheld the the­
m atic happy-go-luck tone, furthering my
u n fo rtu n a te e n te rta in m e n t. “T he D ay

breaks in the lyrics like that o f this verse:
“Please please understan-hand/ Because
T in the day before yesterday’s ma-han.”
Jackie De Shannon’s “What The World
Needs Now Is Love” came as a relieving
break from the wretched retro regression
but this elevator muzac didn’t really inspire
me to spread love worldwide. And still the
xylophones persist...
“T o B e T he O n e ” by P a s s io n s ta r
screamed Green Day on Prozac as the lead
vocalist cried “Tell me what is w rong/ I
w ant to be som eone special to n ig h t.” I
itched with pity for this guy and couldn’t
help but think antidepressants were the root
cause of his mournful lyrics.
I can’t say all o f the songs were that bad.
In fact, the closing melody was an instru­
mental tune that made me sad in a romantic
way. But it still couldn’t compensate for
the previous 15 songs. A fter drifting off
into Zen M editation for a while, I awoke
and a revelation rung out in my m ind —
this CD was dam aging to my psyche.
But hey, maybe you’ll like it. If you just
can’t let go o f the ‘80s, still wear legwarmers o r never m iss an episode o f Seventh

Bike course breeds bike extremists
E xtrem ists get ready.
The m ountain-bike craze has h it A rizona and left a
craving am ong local riders to push them selves to the
edge o f danger.
Jason M artinez, a graduate student at ASU, was not
alw ays a daredevil.
“ I d i d n ’t a l w a y s p u s h m y s e l f b ut n o w I d o , ”
M artinez said. ‘‘W ith the track being so easily accessi­
ble it easy to push m yself.”
M artinez is relatively new to the sport o f dow nhill
m ountain biking. However, as a direct result o f train­
ing on this track he is m ore technically sound in his rid­
ing capabilities and he is ready for the big events.
T he C actu s C up, a p re-seaso n ev e n t fo r dow nhill
m ountian b ik ers, has m oved through P hoenix and pro
riders and beginners alike are practicing for the coming
events.

Banzai Racetrack, which is the only practice down­
hill slalom courses in the nation, is helping area riders
remain among the top riders in the world.
Located less than four miles from campus, many
' ASU students have been using this track strictly for
fun.
The air-up-air-down start-gate propels riders into
a smooth straightaway. At this moment they begin
pedaling to set up a double-jump and a bank left
turn.
S o o n a f te r , it is a ll d o w n h ill w ith b a n k e d tu rn s
a n d c ra z y ju m p s ; m e a n w h ile , r i d e r s m u s t m a n e u ­
ver through the strateg ically placed slalom
p o le s .
It has only been open for tw o m onths, yet the track
has hosted a variety o f riders including the elite dow n­
hill-m ountain-biking racers, BM X ra c e rs and also the
novice rider who ju st wants to com e o u t and have fun.

“ For s l a l o m e v e n t s t h e re h a s n ’t e v e r b ee n any
place in tow n to practice until this track app eared ,”
Phillip said. “So I w as really fired-up w hen I heard
about it.”
In downhill races rid ers finish within tenths o f a
second o f each other. So, the technical aspects o f the
t r a c k r e a l l y e n h a n c e t h e i r s k i l l s , w h i c h in t u r n
increases th eir ab ilities to beat out th eir com petitors,
he said.
A form er pitcher for the ASU softball team, Amber
cam e d o wn from F la g sta ff to ad v ance her tech n ical
abilities a little further. ,
“I heard about this track and I need the p ractice,”
she said. “I’m going to do the national series this year
and I plan to finish in the top 15.”
She fin is h e d h e r f ir st p ro y e a r ra n k e d 19 in th e
n atio n w hile rid in g fo r “IN T E N SE 1 B ik e s.” W ith an
ever-increasing num ber, and quality, o f women racers
every advantage is needed to finish high in the national
rankings, she said.

Andy M yers, the track’s general m anager and care­
taker, said the track is for any kind o f rider regardless
o f skill level.
“W e encourage beginners, novice and pro riders to
come out and race,” M yers said. “The track is fast, fun,
tight and technical.”
A ccording to M yers, their track is shorter when com ­
p a re d to a N O R B A ( N at i o na l O f f - R o a d B i c y c l i n g
A sso ciatio n ) san ctio n ed racetrack . It has far few er
turns, very little straightaw ays, no foot-drags and no
flat com ers.
“It is a tig h te r track , w hich gets the rid ers going
fast,” M yers said. “T hat’s all I care about. I make sure
the track is fast.”
M ore than five m onths ago, indigenous racing enthu­
siasts g o t to g e th e r w ith a lo c a l lan d o w n er, B radley
Investm ents, to build a track that, was challenging and
technical, yet fun to ride.

Tim Bradley, Banzai marketing manager, said Rage
Bicycles, a track sponsor, gave them the idea to build a
downhill track on their construction debris landfill and
five months later, on Valentine’s Day o f this year, they
had racers flying down the course.
Construction has already begun on a BMX (Bicycle
motor-cross) track with a downhill ramp and three dirt
trick ramps ranging from 6 to 10 feet high. These addi­
tions are tentatively scheduled to be in place by late
July, Bradley said.

Banzai, which is sanctioned by the, is located at
4346 E. Magnolia, one block north o f University Drive,
in Phoenix. Anyone wishing to ride must have an ABA
membership, which is available at the track. The mem­
bership is $ l 5 f i f a p e month or $35 for one year. It
includes an insurance policy that negates the need to
sign a waiver at the track.
You must have your own bike, long pants, a long
sleeve shirt and a helmet. It cost $6 to ride for as long
as you can continue or until it closes.

College rape standards differ from ‘real world’
B y V ic t o r ia B rett
A sso c ia te d P ress W riter

/ LEW ISTON, M aine —- During his freshm an year at
Bates College, a young man had sex with at least three
women, teenage sex diat was awkward and at times drunk­
en. He never thought it was a crime.
Now 19, he is learning the hard way that what consti­
tutes rape at many o f the nation’s colleges and universities
is far different from what is prosecuted in state courtrooms.
He was expelled, pending appeal, and branded a rapist
by a college committee for conduct that, his lawyer says,
would never have been prosecuted in the “real world.”
“He’s pretty traumatized and dumbfounded,” says attor­
ney Julian Sweet. He insists his client’s sexual activity was
consensual and no different from encounters on many other
campuses.
In the spring, Sweet sought an injunction in state court,
successfully modifying, but not stopping, a hearing by the
college’s conduct committee. And while those court docu­
ments identify the student only as N.S., they do contain
many other details:
The student, whom the college also hasn’t identified,
had sex twice last September with a drunken freshman who
repeatedly shooed her roommate out o f their room so she
could be alone with him, according to state court records.
After a December dance, his partner was a senior he had
slept with before.
In February, he spent the night in the room o f another
freshman, who filed an anonymous complaint right away
with the college. The following month, she filed a formal
com plaint against the young man. Com plaints from the
other tw o women follow ed. W hatever happened in the
room has not been publicly documented.
John C ole, atto rn ey fo r th e sm all p riv a te co llege,
acknowledges that the allegations o f rape, heard by the
school’s Student Conduct Committee, might not hold up in
court B u t he says, they don’t need to.
■The college does not have any obligation at all to set
standards the equivalent of criminal law. Instead, it sets its
own standards,” C ole says. “It is a phenomenon that is
going on on every campus in the country.”
Rosanne Yates o f the Sexual Assault Crisis Center in
Lewiston has a clear vision: As long as a woman feels she
has been violated and raped, then she has.
But S w eet, calling rape a serious crim e, asks that

charges be based on cold facts, not perceptions.

Washington lawyer Terry Pell says college women may
be unfairly protected in many cases.
“On many campuses, wom en’s advocacy groups have
pushed very hard for a certain view of what the law and
standard of conduct should be. And it is very one-sided and
ex trem e,” says P ell, sen io r counsel at the C enter for
Individual Rights, a conservative public interest law firm.
Neither such views nor such allegations are likely to find
support in the larger society. “The facts o f these cases don’t
support the charge of rape,” says Pell, adding that such alle­
gations often prove to be “incredibly murky.”
The FBI, often used as a model for state law enforce­
ment officials, defines rape as “the carnal knowledge of a
female forcibly and against her will.” But Bates also says
rape occurs if a person cannot give consent — if, for exam­
ple, the victim is asleep, unconscious o r substantially
impaired by alcohol or drugs.
“Bates has changed the definition o f consent,” Sweet
says. “ That seems to be a huge and dangerous step away
from the standards that have traditionally been applied to
adults, and these students claim they want to be treated like
adults.”
None o f the women accusing the young man took their
allegations to police. Instead, they relied on the Bates com­
mittee, which includes both students and faculty.
Complaints by the two freshmen resulted in his expul­
sion, but he appealed the decision and his case w ill be
h e a rd by th e s tu d e n t c o n d u c t c o m m itte e a g ai n in
September. The senior filed the complaint after the accused
was allowed to appeal.
Sweet is waiting to hear if the college will throw out that
charge before they decide whether to sue Bates for libel.
That’s what student Adam Lack did earlier this year at
Brown University in Providence, R.I., after he was pun­
ished for allegedly raping another student.
L ack, w ho ev en tu ally se ttle d w ith the u n iv ersity ,
claim ed that the disciplinary proceedings were flawed,
partly because accusations were unsubstantiated.
The m echanism s fo r han d lin g cam pus crim e have
com e under increased scrutiny b ecause o f cases like
these.
“We don’t autom atically expel a student if they are
charged with something, because they a re n ’t always

guilty,” says Nestor Gonzales, spokesman for Oklahoma
S tate U ni v e r si ty , wh i c h ha s 1 9,350 s t u d en t s on its
Stillwater campus.
Many large universities bypass student council courts,
w hich are com m on at sm aller colleges such as Bates.
Rather, campus police handle complaints, make arrests and
file charges through the district attorney.
Critics say student panels, which normally handle com­
plaints of cheating, plagiarism, behavior problems and the
like, often aré not qualified to hear serious crimes like rape.
Why then do so many colleges use them?
P artly because a federal law encourages th eir use
and offers funding that no college adm inistrator likes
to l o s e , s a y s G a r y P a v e l a o f t h e U n i v e r s i t y o f
M a r yl a n d at C o lle g e P ark , an a u th o rity on stu d e n t
c o n d u c t c o u rts.
Still, he warns: “You don’t w ant college cam puses
to becom e an enclave away from the crim inal ju stice
system so that the privileged can adjudicate w ith their
ow n system .”
A t B a t e s , s t u d e n t s ar e d i v i d e d o n w h e t h e r th e
Student C onduct C om m ittee is qualified to deal w ith
com plaints like rape.
Shawn O ’Leary, a student who acted as an adviser to
one o f the young m an’s accusers, defends the board: He
says die accused failed to meet the standards o f conduct set
by the school, and therefore the college has the right to
expel in order to protect fellow students.
Senior Ruth Mills disagrees, saying an allegation o f rape
is too serious. T think that belongs in a court o f law.”
Secrecy surrounding student panels’ actions is an issue
with some observers, such as M ark Goodman, executive
director o f the Student Press Law Center, a nonprofit orga­
nization in Washington that provides legal advice to student
journalists.
“It is im possible to have a fair proceeding when that
process is secret,” he says. “The process is adm ittedly
unfair to both the accuser and the accused because o f
the nature o f secrecy.”
T h e c o l l e g e c l a i m s to be p r o t e c t i n g s t u d e n t s ,
b u t “ w h a t it a l l b o i l s d o w n to is c o n t r o l o v e r

Never Say Never (Atlantic)— Brandy
When we were first introduced to Brandy on her self-entitled
debut, the then 15-year-old singer charmed us with her childlike
yet substantial pipes and her bubble-gum tunes. Now, four years
and 4 million album sales late, rhythm and blues’ young princess
faces a considerable challenge as she tries to make the leap firm
child protege to serious adult singer.
Luckily, Brandy has talent and good production on her side. On
her sophomore effort, Never Say Never, foe 19-year-okl displays a
deeper voice with a broader range, capable of conveying more
intense emotions. She has also utilized producers who have chosen
to pair Brandy’s singing with seductive, midtempo beats that add
to a more mature sound.
As fa* the material, there ate more songs about relationships
and conflicts. “The Boy Is Mine” is a duet with fellow teen singer
Monica in which Brandy and Monica dukejt out for the affections
of a boy. Brandy muses about a lover who doesn’t appreciate all
she’s given him on “Almost Doesn’t Count”
Sfill, even with tire more adult-flavor and sensual overtones,
Brandy doesn’t tty to break her innocent giri image. Even Mase’s
cameo appearance on ‘Top of the World” is tame for the Bad Boy
rapper.
Brandy shouldn’t lose any listeners with her new style
only
gain new cares.

Tuesday, July 7, 1998
ARIES (Mar. 21 to April 19)
Long lists of work are piling
up, and you might be feeling
claustrophobic. If you tackle
all or most o f those tasks
right away, you can take the
pressure off yourself.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
If you’re single, it’s an
excellent tim e for you to
start a new courtship. Luck
is on your side when it
comes to love and money, so
take a few chances.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Others are being particularly
critical right when you are
feeling sensitive. Bury your
head in work. The rough
spbt will pass soon.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
You’re feeling particularly
social, and you connect with
people outside your normal
circles. Be willing to lend an
ear to a loved one in need.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)
Normally generous, you’re
tightening up the purse­
strings for a change. It’s all
right to be a little stingy.
That rainy day may well be
coming soon .
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept 22)
Take a long, hard look at
y o u r im age . If it needs
redefining, do what you can
to alter perceptions. Devote
the evening to celebration.
LIBRA (S ep t 23 to O ct 22)
If you try to steer events in a
se lf-se r v in g d ir e c tio n you
w ill lose respect as a leader.
B e honest w ith others about
your intentions.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov. 21)
An act of charity could sig­
nificantly enhance your
image. While you are dying
to tell someone that juicy
secret, it would behoove you
to keep it in.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
to Dec. 21) An authority fig­
ure is grating on your nerves,
driving you to distraction. Be
careful that your carefree
attitude doesn’t inspire cen­
sure by others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to
Jan. 19) A little research
goes a long way tow ard
helping you state your case.
In general, it’s a fine time for
efficient planning and prepa­
ration.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to
Feb. 18) It’s a fabulous time
for fresh beginnings and
regeneration. Get out your
pen and paper, it’s time to
devise some creative long­
term plans.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to Mar. 20)
The time has come to make
an im portant decision, so
stop procrastinating. If you
need help, a relative would
be happy to lend a hand.
YOU BORN TODAY are
the sort of person people tell
th eir secrets to, thanks to
your ability to listen.You are
grounded and practical, but
sometimes have difficulty
bring flexible in your think­
ing. Material security is of
utmost importance to you.
