Among those policies not validated by the inter­ nal audit is ASU’s frequent flier-m ile policy, which was found to be unenforceable in its current form by the internal audit and will probably be revised at C oor’s recommendation. More attention will also be given in the future to filing conflict-of-interest statem ents in the hiring of relatives by University em ployees.

That does not mean, however, that no violations were committed. “Based upon our interview , there are indications that there are som e U niversity policies that were n o t b e in g a d h e r e d - t o , ” s a id K a rie D o z e r, spokesw om an fo r the A ttorney G e n eral’s O ffice. “But there is no indication that any o f that action was crim inal.” In March the state auditor general’s office found that more than $275,000 in public funds may have been crim inally m isspent by the ASU Art Museum.

One lawmaker said the universities seemed to be capable , o f making the necessary changes internally and, in the end, no such law was needed. “ASU heard p eo p les’ concerns and heard th eir problem s and is changing the system w ith o u t us 1 mandating them to do that,” said state Rep. M ichael I Gardner, R-Tempe, in a June interview. He said the issue had a m ajor im pact on the way universities are run and how they treat their em ployees. The M useum ’s director o f security, Tim Feavel, was placed on paid adm inistrative leave after mak­ ing the allegations o f mismanagem ent o f funds that prom pted the investigations. “You shouldn’t be punished for telling the truth,” Gardner said. “We can’t tolerate that.” New financial aid director appointed at ASU Stemper said. Stemper said she has visited Arizona and Tempe before on business hips and vacations, While she was happy at her position in Ohio, Stemper said ASU was an offer she couldn’t refuse. “1 have a good position at Miami (University), but 1 was looking for the next step.” Stemper said that ASU presents a new set of challenges for her in a larger university. She said one of the things that drew her to ASU was the attention the University gave her. “They worked hard to make this move feasible for me,” Stemper said. Jim Rund, associate vice president of student affairs, said Stemper was the consensus choice among the commit­ Bv A n g e l a Y eager S t a t e P ress There might be some changes on the horizon for ASU’s financial aid office this fall. Diane Stemper, a financial aid advisor with more than 20 years of experience, has been named as the new director of Student Financial Assistance. Stemper, who Starts on July 31, has been working for the past five years as the financial aid director for Miami University in Ohio. She has an extensive background in financial services and said she is excited about her move to Arizona, • “One of the most important decisions in deciding to leave was it would have to be a place I would want to live,” C heck tee that screens employees. “Diane has a first rate financial background,” he said. “She has a good understanding of the needs of students.” Lou Ann Denny had been acting as financial director since March when Kate Dillon Hogan left for a position at the Arizona Board of Regents. Rund said Denny will be going back to her position as registrar. . “She was helping us out while we were in a transitional phase,” Rund said. As far as changes for the financial aid office, Stemper said she isn’t in a hurry to drastically revise anything. “I am not going to make any changes immediately,” she said. “1 want to take a good look at student needs and see what is working and what could use improvement.” o u t t h is h o t d e a l f r o m t h e C ommons I on L em on I (regularly ’315 shared r At thè Commons on Lemon, we provide the life-style and amenities to make your ASU experience even more enjoyable. • Pool and Spa • Gazebo • Washer and Dryer in Each Unit • Contemporary Furnishings Throughout University Dr. Ave. Terrace Rd.

Tempe Councilman Leonard Coppel resisted voting for the project, spurring Mesa officials to seek new partners. “ Mesa simply wanted to move along with die plans, which is why they are rewriting the resolutions,” said Tempe Councilman Joseph Lewis. Lewis was unable to vote on the project due to a conflict of interest, but said that if he was able to vote, he would have elected to delegate the decision to the voters. “I would have voted for it to go to the ballot.

But there is a downside to basking in die sun. Arizona has more sunshine than any state in the union. The Valley of the Sun boasts more than the balance of the state. What can the sun do for and against us? On the credit side, a litde sunshine can be beneficial. Getting outside in the fresh air is good for exercise and our morale. The sun­ shine helps our body to make Vitamin D. The problem comes when we strive for a bronze tan which makes us look healthy and we believe that is the way to gain social peer group acceptance. Also, we feel that we look better. But many of us have learned too late that the sun-bronzed look comes at a price of premature aging and early wrinkling of the skin; Years of sunbathing causes the skin to lose elasticity and to become leath­ ery, just like the skin we have seen on the legendary cowboy who spends so much time on the range. Even worse, skin cancer can result later in life. But all the above is not an admonition to stay out of the sun completely, Everything in moderation; and when you want to be in die bright sunlight, take the necessary precau­ tions. Wear sunglasses and a hat, cap or sun visor. Cover parts of the body that sunburn more readily and, above all, use a sunscreen. The types that have proven best contain the ingredient PABA which acts as a sun block. Also, get one labeled “broad spectrum ” This type blocks out the harmful UVA and UVB rays which have been linked to aging of die skin and possibly skin cancer. Hie effective sunscreens have a number such as 5, 8, 15 or higher, but the meaning of the number is somewhat of a mystery. The number is frequently referred to as the SPF or Skin Protection Factor. A rule of thumb is to consider that a SPF number 8 will permit you to remain in sunshine for a period of 8 min­ utes while absorbing only one minute’s worth o f harmful rays. However, in the strong Arizona sunshine, a sunscreen rated SPF 15 or higher is advisable and it should be a “broad spectrum” type. One application may not be enough because of sweating or swimming. Replenish often to maintain a high degree of protection. Another factor to be considered is that the sun’s rays are most damaging between the hours of 10 a m. and 3 p m. Also, sitting in the shade by the pool is no protection because the reflection from the water can cause sunburn. Of course, the sun affects people different­ E ly. Those with blond hair, sun freckles or blue eyes are affected by the sun 13 to 2 times as much as others. At the other end of the spec­ trum, African Americans and brown-skinned persons rarely bum. Always be on the safe side, use die PABA sunscreen until and to the extent that you know what is suitable for your skin and your sunshine exposure desires. For those relatively few individuals who are sensi­ tive or allergic to PABA your physician can prescribe a suitable alternative. There are also 'Other effective formulas that are suitable as sunblocks. Overexposure to the sun without suitable protection an cause cancer. According to Dr. Joseph Scherzer, a Scottsdale dermatologist, melanoma cases have risen dramatically over the past 25 years. This lethal cancer strikes about 42,000 Americans a year, killing 7,300. Most of the people who acquire skin cancer are surprised at this development. Sunshine is like money in the bank accu­ mulating interest The damage from the sun is cumulative throughout your life. Thus, die use of sunscreens should begin early in childhood. "Unfortunately, we don’t realize we are at risk until later in life, after the body has absorbed all the sun’s rays that it can accommodate and we have no way of reversing the process. At this time nature warns us of impending prob­ lems by developing small sores on skin that has been overexposed. These small lesions seem to heal and die scqf) falls off but the sore reappears and the process of healing and reap­ pearing continues. These sores are called “ker­ atoses” and unless removed permanently, can become cancerous. At this point, periodic visits must be made to a dermatologist The physician removes the dangerous appearing keratoses by scrapping them off with a scalpel and then will have the tissue undergo biopsy examination to deter­ mine if it is benign or malignant If the latter occurs, more extensive surgery is required to remove all of the affected tissues. If the der­ matologist determines that the keratoses pose no problem, they can be ‘burned off” by die use of liquid nitrogen. In any event, at best we suffer inconve­ nience; at worst, we have to treat a cancer. The best and most succinct advice coming fo rm th e A m erican C ancer S ociety is “Cover up.” Ninety percent of skin cancers occur on uncovered body parts. So wear a hat and sunglasses and use a sunscreen. Best of all, would be to avoid direct sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun’s rays are moist damaging. One additional word o f caution. Sunshine has been known to cause premature cataracts so protect the eyes with good-quality Sun­ glasses.

During the past centuries, Taiwan was ruled by Spain, Dutch East India Company, Ching Empire and Japan, respectively. The present regime in Taiwan, the Kuomintang (KMT, Nationalist Party), was established by Chiang Kai-Shek with arm forces in 1949 without the consent of Taiwanese peo­ ple. The KMT had imposed the longest period o f peacetim e m artial law on the T aiw anese people in the history of mankind. Inclusive claims by KMT- and PRC (People’s Republic of China) of hav­ ing “one China” and/or “one China, two entities,” are not legitim ate for Taiwan since' PRC has never ruled the island Taiwan’s ability to become an independent nation is reduced by governmental policies,« by the PRC and/or the KMT, which include Taiwart as an entity of China. Any reiteration —- oral or written or any acknowledgment of the “three no’s” by the Clinton Administration is against the will of the people in Taiwan and hinder its future to be a free, democratic and an inde­ pendent nation. It would also embolden China to move even more aggressively in possessing Taiw an and threatening the peace and stability in East Asia. It is clear that the “three no’s” violate the basic principles of dem ocracy and self determination, for which the United States should stand. Therefore, we urge President Clinton and our dear American friends to support thè following proclamations: 1. People in Taiwan have the right to determine their own future under the princi­ ple of self-determination as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations; 2. The People’s Republic of China has never ruled Taiwan and, thus, should accept Taiwan as a friendly neighboring nation, and 3. The international community, in par­ ticular those countries which adhere to democratic principles, will accept Taiwan as a full and an equal member in the inter­ national family of nations, including the United Nations. Chin-Te Cheng President Taiwan Study Society at ASU Beanie Baby m ania hitting m ore than McDonalds L et’s play a game. Choose which of toe following items does ENNIFER not belong: Cabbage Patch Kids, LACASELLA Tickle Me Elmo, Beanie Babies and smiles on children’s faces. If you Columnist chose smiles, you are correct! In the world o f joyful youth and inno­ cence, children are standing by and watching helplessly as adults steal thdr happiness. Perhaps you think I’m a bit radical; Tm not I recently read an article in The Arizona Republic in which an 11-year-old m l was the victim of lust arid greed. She was hokling a cute little Beanie Baby in her hands, when a woman, (yes, an adult woman) came up to her and snatched it because it was die last of its kind in the store. Excuse me, but am I the only one dis­ gusted by this crâne? It is not only a crime »gains* one girl but a crime against chikircn everywhere, ft is a crime of indifférence. - Money-hungry' adults who are bound and determined to col­ lect all existing Beanie Babies for the purpose of later making a profit are leaving children out in the cold. What is die purpose of a toy? Isn’t it to entertain? I don’t think there’s anything entertain­ ing watching a strange, heartless woman snatch a stuffed animal out o f a chiîdÔs hands. What is happening in society? How do you th in k th a t w om an w ould fe el if a Godzilla-sized monster swept into a store and snatched the last Beanie Baby out o f her hands? Perhaps she would view the situation in a different light. And perhaps we as a society should view children in a different light. It is all too often that a child is looked upon as inferior and ought to be seen but not heard. If you are eating in a restaurant and a baby at a nearby table starts to cry, will you immediately become annoyed or will you think, “How wonderful that there is a hew baby in the world just waiting to experience all life has, to offer? “ If you are standing in line at a supermarket and an impatient 3-year-old whose mother is in line behind you starts running around with his arms outstretched making airplane sounds, what will you think? What will you think if that same 3-year-old bumps into you four times before you actually get to the counter to pay for your groceries? you would probably be annoyed. I don’t blame you, but I ask you to look before you leap. Look at that child’s wide, inquisitive eyes before you leap into a fantasy about supermarkets that ban children. I think that people are often impatient with children because they are in a rash to climb up the ladder of success and they don’t want any loud, drooling distractions accosting them along the way. My advice to these people is to lighten up! You were a kid once too and you probably bumped into plenty of people while you were playing airplane in the supermarket Or have you become so wrapped up in your research papers that you forgot to remember what childhood is all about? H ie Beanie Babies were meant to be inexpensive toys for children and they have become an uncontrollable craze in which adults fight children for the very toys they are supposed to be enjoying. I’m not saying you have to be 12 or younger to own a Beanie Baby; I’m saying that you have to be 12 or younger to appreciate the fact that stuffed animals are fun to have just because they’re fun to have. You have to be a kid to know what it means to look at Beanie Baby and see only its potential as a silent friend who you can talk to even after Mom makes you go to bed. And the adults are probably pretty jealous o f that. For children, there is no potential profit to be made by their toys and they like it that way because no child would ever Want to part with his or her best friend.

David and Corazon Lawton don’t mind, not after suffering through the winters that Detroit can dish out It turns out that die Lawtons aren’t alone. Thane are plenty of people around here who can stand the heat “I’ve had my beard frozen and my breath freeze on my face,” said Scott Smith, a Utah native who moved here six years ago and spent Thursday afternoon supervising a crew lay­ ing concrete. ‘T d much rather deal with the heat,” he said with a hearty laugh. “It gets so cold in Utah you can’t move; in the heat, you just slow down and drink lots of water. “Besides, you have a great tan all year long.” The heat wave blamed for at least 56 deaths didn’t let up Thursday. For an 11th straight day, temperatures climbed over 100 in north Texas. The heat wave has claimed at least 28 lives across the state and caused $1.5 billion in crop damage. Elsewhere, at least 20 people have died in Louisiana, six in Oklahoma and one each in California and Arizona since midMay because of the heat At Fort Bragg, N.C., three soldiers on á 12-mile march were hospitalized Thursday for heat exhaus­ tion. One was in critical condition. Carefree’s 2,300 residents soaked in 110 degrees of heat on Thursday and, tnie to the town’s name, no one seemed to mind. The Lawtons, lured by their daughter’s vacation stories of Arizona, this week bought a house in this posh subuib about 20 miles north of Phoenix, where the temperature was 116 Thursday. “ Last winter, we were sitting with snow up to our armpits and I’m seeing 80- to 90-degree weather in Arizona,” Lawton said.“ We know what we’re getting into and I’m not going to whine about the heat This is better than gray skies, rain and 30below weather.” ~ Many of Carefree’s newest residents come from the East Coast, said Aubrey Dowling, who works at the town’s Chamber of Commerce. She said she spends her days handing out restaurant lists and information packets to new home owners eager to trade in nine months of wintertime nightmares for two months of Arizona’s scorching summers. Desert diehards warned that the dry heat of the Southwest isn’t for everyone. “We’re acclimated to the heat,” longtime resident Craig Deckard said. “But the people from up East, they’re used to the humidity and not the intense heat” Deckard said he battles the weather at his construction job by wearing a hard hat with a solar panel that runs a miniature fan pointed at his forehead. Still, asked if he’s ever thought of leaving, Deckard just smiled, shook his head and sauntered out into the scotching afternoon.

KINGMAN-Mohave County has seen its share of mis­ creants, but few have created problems as widespread — or as stinky — as kind-hearted folks who can’t resist feeding pesky pooping pigeons. Next month, anyone caught feeding wild pigeons will face a $100 fine. The Mohave County Board of Supervisors approved the feeding ban July 13 after hearing from frustrated residents and experts offering more than you probably want to know about the content and hazards of pigeon droppings. Board chairman Jim Zaborsky was a believer, based on his experience with commercial buildings he owns in Bullhead City. Hundreds of pigeons roosted on the roof of one of his buildings, and occasionally some got into the cooling sys­ tem and died, creating an unholy smell. He’s had his buildings pigeon-proofed at considerable expense, but the problem continues, at his home. The pigeon problem is most acute in Lake Havasu City, according to testimony at Monday’s hearing. For example, a foul odor wafting through Charles C. Royal I Memorial Library last fall came from pigeon dung on the roof recon­ B y T o n y G uerr a S tate P ress stituting in die rain and fouling air conditioning intakes. Earl Siler, president of the Lake Havasu City Pigeon Abatement Committee, said pigeon droppings can carry up to 40 diseases communicable to humans and remain a health danger for about three years. “ It’s no joke,” he Said. If people stop feeding pigeons, their numbers should drop significantly, Siler said. CoUnty officials will enforce the feeding ban only when they receive complaints from thè. community, said Jerry Street, the county’s health director. ^oM ucijj, Con«°v Located in Hayden Square at 410 S.

She’s a sales and promotion assistant at a local alternative radio station. Last spring she began her internship a KEDJ studios also known as The Edge. “I love what I do,” says Pucci, a native New Yorker. “Some days a person becomes so stressed. Then a moment of reflection allows you to realize, this is fun. You are not stuck inside, you are meeting people and the happi­ ness they get front the free stuff you give out catches on,” said Pucci. The crew at the station is a close-knit group, she said“It is like a family here and the management is very sup­ portive of this atmosphere,” Pucci said. “The freedom o f expression in the office is great, one can go to the next office and pitch an idea anytime.” Her office is half of a cubicle littered with promotional materials and giveaways that she shares with the promo­ tions director Jane Monzures. Pucci found out about the internship while going to file some paperwork at the University. “It all began when I was going to drop some finan­ cial aid forms off,” ; said Pucci. “I heard people audi­ tio n in g fo r The Edge radio statio n . I asked about internship opportunities and got an application,” she said. “From there the broadcasting departm ent was instrumental in getting me through the paperwork and making the internship a reality.” “My first day was Valentine’s Day and when I began, everything just clicked,” Pucci said, adding that her outgo­ ing and laid-back personality matched the station’s. Although there are a lot of perks, Pucci said the work must always come first. “Im portant principles to live by in this business and any other are hard work and punctuality,” Pucci said. “People are depending on you. To move up, you must prove that you are dependable, willing to learn, and will put the effort in.” A typical week for Pucci includes about four hours each morning with the sales staff, two afternoon meet­ ings with the prom otions department, and many pro­ motions usually carried on through night. W hen did Pucci first realize she was an active part of the team? ‘’Reality and satisfaction set in when you see the pro­ motion on paper and delete a portion that does not fit, then hear it on the radio w ithout that p art,” Pucci said. “ Y ou know you are really doing something.” With an internship under her belt, Pucci stud that her priorities with school will Change some.

(AP) — Knock, knock. Who’s there? Construction. Instead of the usual dour warnings and flashing arrows, the highway signs along Interstate 65 have orange smiley faces, knock-» knock jokes and funny phrases to make the eight-mile stretch more tolerable. “Everybody thought it was kind of corny at first, but after we got past that, we decided to go ahead and do it,” said Richard O’Connor, a vice president of consulting company RQAW. Purdue University engineering graduates were allowed to put a frowning face at the ' beginning of the roadway and the words, “Eight miles to go, hang in there," followed by funny phrases at each mile.

Promotions, ads flood schools B y J erry S c h w a r t z AP N a t io n a l W riter SEATTLE --- Squeezed between rebellious taxpayers and rising costs, schools are looking for help from corpo­ rate America for the same reason Willie Sutton robbed banks — it’s where the money is. So in Grapevine, Texas, they have put a Dr Pepper bill­ board on a middle school’s roof, advertising to passing planes. In 45 districts nationwide, school buses carry ads. Schools across the country vie for exclusive contracts with Coke or Pepsi, in exchange for goodies like new scoreboards. But some com m unities — Seattle, M ilwaukee and Berkeley, Calif., among them — have been moved to ask significant questions: Is it right to expose kids to advertising in school, where attendance is required and they cannot walk away? Or does it really matter, in an era when kids themselves are verita­ ble walking billboards of logos and ads? In Seattle, a plan to “accept advertising and corporate sponsorship opportunities” was adopted in November, 1996, in an effort to close a $35 million hole in the district budget But Brita Butler-Wall, a professor of education at Seattle University and mother of two, helped organize a campaign against it, drawing support from the city council and others. Ultimately, school superintendent John Stanford moved to rescind the proposal, In retrospect, says Joseph Olchefske, the district’s chief operating officer, the plan was too vague. “ We could have dictated that every kid had to wear a Tshirt with a Nike symbol on it,” Olchefske says. “Well, the policy would have allowed this, but there’s no way we would have done it.” Actually, the T-shirt idea is not so far-fetched. In March, an Evans, Ga., teen-ager was suspended when he wore a Pepsi shirt on Coke Day. < Commercialism in schools is clearly on the rise.

Molnar, in his book Giving Kids the Business: The Commercialization o f America's Schools, says if “the profit motive was a stowaway carefully hidden when the corpo­ rate reform ship set sail during the 1980s, it is now at the helm.” Molnar and others cite educational materials and videos o f dubious merit, distributed by companies to teachers; cor­ porate intrusions in schools, like appearances by cartoon pitchmen; programs that turn kids into salesmen; and incen­ tive programs that reward children while promoting prod­ ucts. And then there is Channel One. Since 1990, this 12minute daily news show has been beamed to schools across the country; it is now featured in more than 12,000 schools with more than 8 million kids. Each promises to show Channel One, and in exchange each is wired and lent a tele­ vision for every classroom. The catch? Each telecast includes two minutes of com­ mercials for things like acne medicine and snack foods. Critics point out that this adds up to a full school day every year. Others complain about the quality of what comes between the commercials. But Paul Folkemer, the new executive vice president of Channel One, insists that Channel One is “a good product and it enables the schools to teach kids the news. ... The commercials pay for a good show.” As for those ads, Folkemer says, “I think it’s really naive to think that we’re going to keep kids away from commer­ cials.” The reason kids are targeted is clear. Children under 12 spend an estimated $17 billion a year, and teen-agers spend $57 billion. All of them influence billions more in family spending. Jam es B. T w itch e ll, p ro fesso r o f E nglish at the University of Florida and author of the book ADCULT USA, says advertisers can go to schools to reach tomor­ row’s consumers. “These people have not bought cars,” he says. “They have not chosen the kind of toothpaste they will use. This audience is Valhalla. It’s the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.” There are many who say that schools should not bar companies seeking access to that gold. Instead, schools should profit from it. In Denver, 13 corporate sponsors have pledged $7.4 mil­ lion in return for exclusive rights, advertising exposure and public recognition. Pepsi was named exclusive vendor in Denver schools, administrative offices, stadiums and gyms — a deal that is expected to generate at least $5.4 million for the schools over five years, including a $1.5 million donation. Pueblo, Colo., also has a soft-drink deal, but with CocaCola. The district draws commissions for each can sold from machines in the schools. Not everyone thinks soft drinks should be part of a teen-ager’s diet, and the schools walk a fine line when it comes to encouraging kids to con­ sume. ■* “T he.location o f the m achines is key,” says Dave Roudebush, assistant superintendent. “You want them near the exits, so kids can pop their 75 cents in the machines and take a can home.” Pueblo also has placed ads on the sides of jts school buses, mostly messages like “Be cool, stay in school” — with the advertiser’s logo, of course. Pueblo has Dan DeRose to thank for this largesse. DeRose is president o f DD M arketing o f C olorado Springs, Colo.; in three years, he has been hired by 60 school districts to help them bring in corporate dollars. DeRose says it is not his role to tell districts to accept ads. But face it, he says; Advertising is already there, in Army recruiting posters, calendars from M&M, Coke machines. “Manage it. Be in control of it. If they want to allow it, have it generate revenue,” he says. Is there any problem with exposing kids to advertising? “It irritates me when people don’t give kids credit DeRose says. “It’s effective, but it’s not making robots out of kids.” Page 12 Tuesday, July 2 1 ,1 9 9 8 S t a t e P r e ss Chetna Soti (left), a graduate stu d en t in e le c tric a l e n g i­ n e e rin g , and P ra ve e n a Ravanavarapu, a graduate s tu d e n t in a g r ib u s in e s s , show some traditional dress­ es worn b y women of India.

Jerem y Hein/State P ress Foreign women in a foreign land E x c h a n g e s tu d e n ts BY GANGA SUBRAMAN1AN S ta te P ress .. ~ C hetna Soti is preparing to rush to the lab for a late night project m eeting. B efore she leaves, she cooks heavily spiced chicken curry for her room ­ m ates, all the tim e discussing with them .the finer points in the plot o f the latest Hindi movie. She soon meanders from this topic to catch up on the latest gossip circulating in her small, close knit community. \ . • An envelope on the table catches her attention. She hurriedly tears it open with a feeling o f dread. “It’s my telephone bill,” she explains. She drinks in the figure o f $250 with dism ay. She has spent a q u a r te r o f h e r m o n th ly e a rn in g # as a g ra d u a te research assistant chatting with her fam ily o n India who she.misses sorely. Soti, a graduate student in electrical engineering, is one o f the many Asian students adding color and diversity to the A S ll campus. A c co rd in g to th e ASU In te rn a tio n a l S tu d e n ts Organization there are more than 1,500 students from Asia one-third o f which are from India. Other coun­ tries that are represented by students at ASU include: C hina, Japan, Taiw an, Korea, Indonesia, M alaysia, P a k ista n , S audi A ra b ia , H ong K ong, S in g a p o re , Thailand, Kuwait, Bangladesh and Jordan. M ost o f th e s e s tu d e n ts are e n r o lle d in th e C o lle g e o f Engineering and Applied Sciences. T hese students bring w ith them not ju s t exotic spices, tongue tw isting nam es and strange accents, but dreams to succeed in their chosen fields o f study. But many o f these students, particularly women, have a hard time adjusting to life in America. S o ti re fu rb is h e d h e r w a rd ro b e soon a f te r she arrived. She now wears only jeans, T-shirts or skirts and rarely w ears the tra d itio n a l S alw ar K ham eez (pantaloons with a knee length blouse and a matching scarf). “I fe e l m ore c o m fo rta b le in c la ss d re sse d this way,” she said. “People ask you too many questions” when shte wears the traditional dress. Moe Moe Htun, 35, is from Burma and has traded the traditional sarong for the more practical jeans and T-shirt. ' fe e l p re s s u re s o f c o m But Saba Haroon, 20, who is an Amerifc'an but of P a k ista n i o rig in , is very co n sc io u s o f h e r ro o ts. Haroon prefers Halal meat—^obtained when an animal is bled to death when the jugular vein has been sev­ ered. She wears the hijab’a long gown and a m atching scarf that completely covers her arms, legs, hair and part o f her forehead and lines her eyes w ith dark kohl. . H aroon was born in C hicago has never lived in Pakistan. Yet, she wears the traditional dress. “T hat’s my personal choice,” she said... However Soti who has chosen to adopt many of the fashion custom s o f A m erica, m aintained, “Nobody wants to be stared at.” Haroon looks at it differently. “Americans enjoy asking questions.. They are fas­ cinated. They are not asking w eird questions. They are not trying to put you down oijm ything,” she said. Am y Iam phung^P orn o f T h ailan d said she ju s t loves it in America, particularly the freedom s that she is afforded that were not available to her in her native land. “I have so m uch freed o m ,” she said. “I can drive, I can go anyw here. I can. go to the m all at 9 p.m. • However, Pom , a senior studying marketing, inter­ acts m ostly with other students from Thailand. Her interaction with' Americans is restricted to group pro­ jects and assignments. She often has difficulty inter­ acting with Americans. “Am erican people are not so open. I have a hard tim e som etim es,” she said. “B ut some o f them are really nice.” 7 \ • Guat Hoon Loo, 30, also a senior studying m arket­ ing said Americans “generally are very friendly. They don’t ignore you.” Porn said she finds A m erican men very friendly and feels more comfortable with American males than females. “Every Asian student would prefer to work with an A m eric a^ m an (ra th e r th a n a w o m an ),” she said em phatically. Loo who is from Singapore said she and many oth­ ers from her country have a “fear o f talking.” “We are afraid to speak up because o f the English. in g to A m e r ic a Most o f us are pretty shy,” she said. However, Soti, 23, said, “I’ve studied English all my life. It’s not a foreign language to me.” M aysoon A1 W ahar, 31, a d o c to ria l stu d e n t in anthropology, said she thinks the course o f study a student chooses to participate in makes a difference in the way people international students are appreci­ ated and understood. “I think I ’m lu ck y ,” she said. “In anthropology everybody u n d erstan d s o th er cu ltu res. They d o n ’t treat you differently.” A1 W ahar is not the only student who feels this way. Tina, 23, a junior in the college of education, who requested that her la s r nam e not be used, said stu ­ dents she m eets in her South E ast A sian language class are very friendly. “They are there because they enjoy studying d if­ ferent cultures,” she explained! A1 W ahar, an exchange student from Jordan, said she didn’t speak much English when she first came to the United States. But she took extra classes and now is very com fortable conversing in English. Academ ic blending Loo finds the academic environment very different here. “In Singapore it’s a little difficult to speak up in class,” she said. “The students here are so creative, they have so many ideas,” she said of her American classmates. Jesus Trevino, director o f the Intergroup Relations Center, which aims at promoting intercultural interac­ tion, said more effort needs to be placed on bolstering the blending o f cultures in the academic setting. ~ “Interaction in the classroom is not what it should be,” he said. Trevino said the system of higher education does not facilitate group interaction in many disciplines. “ Y ou h av e lo n e rs on th is c a m p u s ,” he s a id . Trevino and others are working to bring those loners into the groups on capmus and make them feel like an important part of the University. The Intergroup R elations C enter runs a program ca lle d “ V oices o f D isco v e ry ” w here stu d en ts are S t a t e P r e ss Page 13 Tuesday, July 21, 1998 “The kids in school call you names and stuff. But that was when I was 12 or 13,” she said. “When you are older yoh en co u n ter preju d ice, but its h id ­ den” . But Haroon said with pride, “I am an A m erican — freed o m is big here and you have to appreciate that.” his marriage to his friends. The Htun’s therefore, mainly socialize with others from Burma. “ He (D a v id ) is c o m fo r ta b le , b u t when we speak a lot o f Burm ese h e’s not. He feels bored.” C u ltu r a l id e n tity D a tin g , s o c ia l life Jerem y Hein/State P re s s Saba Haroon, a junior studying nursing, wears a traditional long gown of Pakistan, p la c e d in sm all d iv e rse g ro u p s and giyen the opportunity to interact. Currently, 240 students are involved in the program, Trevino said. The I n te r n a tio n a l S tu d e n ts Organization runs the host family pro­ gram that is popular with many Asian students. Students are given the oppor­ tunity to interact with American fam i­ lies who have volunteered to help stu­ dents understand American people and the way o f life in the United States. The program currently has 200 Vol­ u n te e r fa m ilie s, said Jo an A lf, w ho coordinates the program. , W hile the close-knit family enviom ments provide exchange students with the fo u n d atio n for understanding the differences in this country, the size o f this campus can be over whelming for some foregin students. Tina, who is from Taiwan, feels lo st in big classes. “In a large class, I don’t make any friends. People pretty much do their own thing. They are not inter­ ested in culture,” she said. F am ily, religiou s roots But Tina came to America to be with h er b o y frien d (now her husband) who is A m erican. She m et her husband in Taiw an where he was an international student. “I cam e here because he is here,” she said.-; H er conservative background, how ­ Students from the Indian sub-conti­ nent find the American culture of dat­ ing difficult to accept. Most Indian girls do not date. ■Praveena Ravanavarapu,, 2-3, a gradu­ ate student of agribusiness who is from India said public perception of dating w here she is from pervents her from going out on dates. “I w ouldn’t go out with a guy, too many people would gossip about me.,” Those who do go out, hope to m arry the person they date, Soti said. * In India virginity is still very impor­ tant. Most Indian girls are virgins untili they wed. “T hat’s the way we are brought up. We are all one-man women,” said Soti. Haroon too does not date. “There are Islam ic ways o f getting to know peo­ ple,” She said. H tu n , w ho is s tu d y in g b ro a d c a s t journalism , finds the Am erican media very different. “There ’s no freedom, of speech in Burma,” she said. “All media are controlled by the m ilitary regim e. It’s only propaganda.” Htun has spent several years w ork­ ing for an an ti-m ilitary regim e radio s ta tio n , b ro a d c a s tin g o u t o f O slo , N o rw ay . S he now a n c h o rs h er ow n children’s radio show in Burmese. ■**- Htun too has m arried an Am erican and said her family is not very comfort­ able with it. “M ost people stereotype Am ericans based on what they see in the movies,” she said. “They fear he will leave me.” Tina too had fears initially, “I was concerned at first,” she said. However, Htun said she is not able to understand this. She said loyalty in a re la tio n s h ip has n o th in g to do w ith nationality. Her high school sweetheart in Burm a whom she m arried secretly cheated on her, she said. “I still believe some of the American people do not put their heart into rela­ tionships,” Tina said. H tun s a id h e r h u s b a n d D a v id , a graduate student of public adm inistra­ tion at ASU, has a hard time explaining ever, has caused, her to keep her m ar­ ria g e a s e c r e t fro m h e r family. Y et her husband’s family has accepted Tina. “If I do tell my parents my financial support w ill s t o f . R ight now I have a student’s visa —getting a green card takes tim e,” she said. “I feel guilty about how his family has accept­ ed m e b u t my fa m ily hasn’t.” How ever, H aroon, who is a M u slim sa id sh e would never marry outside her religion. “T o m e, r e lig io n is a whole way o f life.” T in a , w ho o b s e rv e s T ao ism , said being m ar­ ried to a Catholic does not create any problems. H o w e v e r, H a ro o n objects to the general per­ ception o f Islam ic culture as being oppressive as far as women are concerned. “T here is a stere o ty p e that M uslim wom en have no rights,” she said. “But in Pakistan women have a lot o f freedom .” Haroon said she faced a lo t o f p re ju d ic e in C hicago w here she w ent Moe Moe Htun, a senior studying broadcasting, to school. for the more practical T-shirt and jeans. Haroon resents the hazy idea m ost Americans have about who Asians are. “ W hen yo u say A s ia n , th e y th in k Oriental,” she said. Sheldon Sim on, a po litical science p ro fe sso r who is an ex p e rt on A sia, said the definition of Asia has not been concretized. “There are different interpretations o f Asia. For in stan ce, The Journal, o f A sian S tu d ies, the prem ier jo u rn al in the field, covers only South Asia,” he said. ASU public events executive direc­ tor Colleen Jennings-R ogensack, who tailo r makes events to showcase various cultures, said the Asian population on cam pus has not been terribly vocal. “They have been remarkably silent,” she said. Most Asian students have their own cliques, they are in class together, they live together and socialize together. Avi Singhal, a civil engineering pro­ fessor who interacts with a lot of inter-’ national students from Asia said, “It is v ery n a tu ra l to stic k w ith w hat you know.” He said international students from A sia are ex trem ely b rig h t and bring with them specialized skills. “They are all prep arin g to assum e important roles,” he observed. Loo says she did not expect to hear so much talk about race in America. “I com e from a m ulti cu ltu ra l e n v iro n ­ m ent. T here is so m uch em phasis on race here. We don’t have that kind of a problem back home.” T in a is a ls o s e e in g th e W orld in color. She also feels that being differ­ ent sometimes has its problems. “Nobody would sit next to me,” she said of a class she once had. “They all ju s t go and jo in th e ir g roup. B ut an A frican-A m erican guy did sit next to me and got talking to m e.” Rogensack is able to understand this. “It’s ju st a feeling o f kinship,” she said. “We are all people o f color.” Jerem y Hein/State Press has traded in the elegant sarong, a traditional dress of Burma, C om ics Page 14 Tuesday, July 21, 1998 K in g d o m s S t a t e P r ess B y C arrie L B ehrens *N«e ^oV am ideok. m c v ift «.tooud « n Sétx Vs*k+ m in e » d iffe r e o + c w ? \ ¥ n e /re . c^onncx u& e. a . «Jitp^eosm o & te ro id +Vfác o f ruxVsc. +o VsiVl »V a n ò -èrtoci- a in M S V 2L o f -\¥>e. a&VrbnoouuVs a>iY\ \o t b ro tV itre » . d e stro y s Mr*. earM t.buA- yoe^alou) it ufr yirat,_» D rop/A dd By Matthew Bannon I fl I S ro ROOM POR rent in my home w / p ool.

Call Andrew 730-5904. by Frances Drake Tuesday, July 21, 1998 ARIES (Mar. 21 to April 19) If you find yourself being passive, make sure you're not just trying to avoid making a decision. In the case of misjudgment, a smile is the best defense. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) There is a lot of positive ener­ gy currently surrounding your career. While it’s good to indulge your senses occasion­ ally, try not to go too crazy. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Romance is first and foremost on your m «d, so make it a day of love and pleasure. You also are feeling creative, so try to discover a new outlet. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) While you’re dying for some quiet time at home, first you need to m ake it through a tough schedule. Put new pro­ jects on hold until you’re more relaxed. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Stim ulating conversation improves your outlook. Should you choose to throw a soiree in the evening, you’re likely to be surprised by how many people attend. * VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept 22) You are feeling indecisive, while a partner or frielid has strong opinions. Try to find a quiet place and time to talk things over. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s an ex cellen t time for. socializing, so surround your­ se lf with the company o f good friends. You can finally have your cake and eat it tool SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov. 21) While you're being called upon to captain a ship, you can barely find your way on deck. Generate ideas with a good friend, and things will become clearer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You can wear your heart on your sleeve. Don’t be afraid to ask a favor from a friend or a lover, who is bound to be willing to help. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) For a change it’s what you know, rather than who you know, that really counts. So stop trying to net­ work; buff up on your knowl­ edge instead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You aren’t feeling particularly productive until a chat with a co-worker inspires you. Try to connect with new kinds of people, PISCES (E*. 19 to Mar. 20) Caring for a loved one gives you a deep sense of satisfac­ tion. Avoid starting new pro­ jects, particularly those asso­ ciated with your career. YOU BORN TODAY attract others with your opti­ m istic spirit and sensitive soul. Your concern with domestic security can make you reluctant to embrace new opportunities. You have a . deep love of aesthetic beauty, and you strive for a refined appearance. ©1998 King Features Syndicate Inc.
