Vague charges o f misconduct arose against Kay — charges that were never disclosed to her — and her termination was distributed as a national press release in violation of confidentiality policy, she said. Last year, the state Legislature rejected a similar pro­ posal after the three university presidents pledged to make the necessary changes internally. That agreement is scheduled to be voted'on by the ASU academic senate at its Jan. 25 meeting. The Legislature will be out of session until Jan. 11. Bernstein said the agreement would not adequately solve the problem. “They haven’t actually made one single change yet,” she said.

ASU professor gears up for 30year mission to create plant book B y A n g ela Y ea g er S t a t e P r ess ASU professor Les Landrum knows exactly how he is going to spend the next 30 years o f his life. The plant biologist and curator of the ASU Herbarium has been working since 1987 on the Flora Arizona Project, which involves taking specimens o f plant species from throughout the state and putting all die information into an educational book. {-/Landrum speculates die book will take at least 30 years tpoompete. ” 14116 only book on flora in Arizona is at least 50 years old,” he said. “So a bunch o f us (biology students and sci­ entists) got together and decided it was-time to make a new book.” Landrum said only vascular plants like pine trees and daisies are being examined, which are plants that have I some kind of system of receiving water. By contrast, plants like moss, lichen and algae don’t have this kind of system. “This is a very slow process,” he said. “But we have published what has already been collected and catalogued.” The samples taken are all kept in the ASU Herbarium, which houses more than 220,000 specimens of plant life. The oldest specimen dates back to 1895. “We have plants collected from die first ASU science professor,” Landrum said. The published text, in the form qfripumdls with maps and illustrations to help the reader, catalogues the work the team has been collecting approximately 100 species, per year.

Yasser Arafat declared himself satisfied, and stepped up his rancorous exchanges with Israel by declaring Jerusalem “occupied territory1’ that should be turned over to the Arabs. , ^ ? The outpouring of pledges at a one-day conference at the State Department gave visible backing to President Clinton as he sought to push the Mideast peace effort forward. “No peace stands a chance of lasting if it does not deliv­ er real results to ordinary people,” Clinton said in urging the European. Asian and Arab nations to do better than the $•2.3 billion pledged five years ago, Clinton met privately with Arafat at the White House, hearing his complaint that Israel had not released enough political prisoners Under the Wye agreement the president helped arrange in October. "I am satisfied ;” A rafat said in response to the announcement by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright that “it appears the delegations pledged more than $3 bil­ lion." She called the response “a substantial achievement.” , The European Union pledged $2 billion in assistance to Palestinians on the West Bank and in Gaza Over five years, Austrian Foreign Minister Wolfgang Schuessel said at a windup news conference. He skid one-half million jobs had to be created for the Palestinians over the next 10 years. Clinton said the United States intends to increase its contribution by adding $400 million to the $100 million a year it plans to donate over the next five years. The United States has contributed $500 million since 1993. V Albright said the U.S. assistance would go directly to projects in Palestinian-controlled areas and the Agency for International Development would assure that “every dollar is accounted for.” But while Clinton spoke hopefully of overcoming “bumps in the road” in the peace process he has fostered, political tensions between Arafat and Israel were rising again. Arafat declared anew that he hoped to establish an inde­ pendent Palestinian state. He aiso accused Israel of under­ mining the Palestinian economy with a “continued siege and frequent closure” of the borders with Gaza and the West Bank. At the windup news conference, the Palestinian leader, in Arabic, said Jerusalem was the No. 1 issue in negotia­ tions with Israel. “I say ’holy Jerusalem,’” he said, describing the city as G r e g G i b s o n o f t h e A s s o c ia t e d P r e s s President Clinton shakes hands with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in the Oval Office of the White Hotlse Monday. The Clinton administra­ tion plans to boost U.S. aid to the Palestinians by $400 million while extending its current $100-million-a-year assistance programs for five more years. “occupied territory” that should be turned over to the Arabs under 1967 and 1973 U.N. Security Council resolutions in exchange for peace. He apparently referred to east Jerusalem, which he envisions at the capital of a Palestinian state. Despite U.S. appeals that Arafat tone down his statehood assertions as premature before negotiating a final settlement with Israel, the Palestinian leader welcomed pledges of assistance as helpful to “realize our independence.” The new money would be used for projects in Gaza —-where Clinton will travel in less than two weeks — and on the West Bank. The projects could include industrial zones and a Palestinian airport and seaport. The money must be approved by Congress. Appealing for generous contributions from the more than 40 other nations at the donors conference, Clinton said, “There has been too little tangible improvement in the life of the Palestinian people.” “We must convince those who have invested so much in this process that it was a sound investment,” he said. Despite “your generous financial assistance,” Arafat told delegates from 43 countries and several organizations including the World Bank, “momentous constraints’1 have made the suffering of the Palestinian people unbearable. “The Israeli closure policy is the primary and direct cause for the dangerous decline in the performance of the Palestinian economy over the past five years,” Arafat said. The Israeli ambasssador to Washington, Zalman Shoval, said the borders had been closed only two days in the past 20 months.

Some look to these pages as a place to discuss political, social or cultural issues. From this perspective,.person­ al stories or reflections are fluff. Others would prefer colum ns to address subjects that appeal to every student on campus, tedding to skip columns abdbt heavier subjects. A friend of mine believes most o f the students at ASU would fit into this category. “People already have enough material being thrown at them in their classes. They want light, easy-to-read stuff in the newspaper that they would enjoy reading,” he said. I have tried so far to find a balance between these competing views. On the one hand, I write about topics pertinent to the campus community because the opinion pages provide the best vehicle to do just that. Also, I’ve written a couple of columns that could be considered light; after all, this isn’t the New York times. However, I have written, and will continue to write, columns that concern heavier-subjects. Some things in life are impor­ tant and I want as many people as possible to know about them. . v I have no doubt that my readership declines by SO per­ cent when I write about certain subjects. But that’s a price I’m willing to pay for getting these subjects on the opinion pages. I don’t care if only five people read these columns — so long as somebody does. At the same time, if I write next semester, Twill be writ­ ing some columns from a more personal perspective. Moreover, any subject that I write about would have to meet this test: Would this somehow be important to other people? On another front, I’ve heard many people complain about the bias o f the paper, The opinion pages are a place for discussion. Many campus newspapers tend to elicit only one particular ideological preference; and so ASU is well served by having a variety of different opinions. However, I do want to see one thing changed. I wish everyone would refrain from a style of discourse where people attack the person making; an argument instead of the argument itself. That approach definitely diminishes the product of the paper. ' k. ■ 1 don’t say this as someone who is above saying less than flattering things about others. But the State Press is not the place to address personal grievances or to proclaim moral superiority over others. My own code of conduct on this matter is that major national public figures are open game for me, but I will never attack any specific individual at ASU. It is unfair to publicly cut someone down when that person does not have the opportunity to respond. In this world, you can build people up or you can tear people down. Building people up is actually the harder thing to do, but it’s also much more worthwhile. Make the right choice. It’s amazing how much people reveal of themselves in their columns and letters — myself included. I would just urge for everyone to be careful and let their better halves shine through. Our minds will be working overtime in the final two weeks in the semester. So take care of your body and soul. For your body — drink lots of water. Also, make sure you stretch or exercise just for a few minutes a day. For your so u l— I have a reading called “Desiderata”, which was recently found in a church in Baltimore.

Sure she has the body of a 12year-old, pre-pubescent boy and every time she turns sideways she disappears into the scenery, but is she as poor a role model for young girls and women as the media claim? Absolutely not. Anorexia does not stem from the desire to emulate the Ally McBeals in the w orld any m ore than o b esity develops from the wish to look like John Goodman. The public has no one to blame but themselves for poor body images and if Flockhart repre­ sents anything, it is the obsession that Americans and the media have with celebrities. The media and public continuously hound Flockhart with accusations of being anorexic and/or bulimic. OK, so the girl looks like she needs to eat a sandwich or two, but the issue being overlooked here j>"the motive of her accusers. In other words, why does anyone care? Some claim she is a bad role model for adolescent girls and young women —- that girls will feel inadequate when watching Flockhart on TV and feel the need to purge. Well — her gangly appearance does, at times,; make me want to barf, but if anything, her skeleton-like frame is a deterrent from starving oneself, not an incen­ tive to do so. What most do not realize is that anorexia and bulimia are diseases that originate in places reaching far beyond the capacity and simplicity of TV programs. Problems in the family are typically present and a lack of self-esteem is embedded in the individual for an extensive period of time prior to an actual manifestation o f the eating disorder. To propose that a celebrity actually has the power to invoke such a life-threatening illness is absurd. Not only does it give way too much credit where credit is not due, but it also undermines the serious and sometimes fatal effects these disorders can have. MTV does not make teenagers want to have sex and do drugs; listening to heavy metal music does riot provoke youth to worship Satan; Ally McBeal is in no way a diuret­ ic. This phenomenon of cause and effect brings up yet another interesting point— the belief that young people are so insecure and unintelligent that they turn to TV and other media sources for guidance. Of course, there are Some wackos out there who watch Beavis and Butthead for ideas on vandalism and disturbing bodily functions, but the majority of America’s youth is Vastly underrated. Most sane and competent individuals know the difference between reality and fantasy and realize the impossibility of achieving the latter. It is only when people accuse youth of being negatively influenced by certain media that they actually are. Perhaps, if no attention was paid to the possibility of a TV show’s damaging effects, there would be none. For instance, if Flockhart’s 102-pound frame was not plastered on the cover of every tabloid and the topic of every local news program, it might not even be an issue at all. The media complains about her power, as a celebrity to influence her young viewers, but it is they who give her that power in thè first place. It is not Flockhart who is body-obsessed, as the public has accused her of being; it is her critics.

F o r m e r sat through more disparaging remarks on Flockhart’s weight, followed by tips on how the celebrities stay thin, I was no longer surprised why most Americans feel the need to perpetually monitor their bodies, If anyone or anything causes an individual to feel inadequate about their appear­ ance, it is the “in-your-face” approach taken by the media. After all, I’ve never heard Flockhart giving “tips” on how to stay thin, In fact, it is Flockhart who seems to be the real victim in this case. If she does not have an eating disorder and her scrawny limbs are as natural as her eye-color (assuming she doesn’t wear contacts), then this is nothing more than a form of discrimination. Everyone seems to rush to the defense of obese people who are scrutinized for their weight, claiming that for most, obesity is simply genetic. So, genes only have the capacity to carry fat? Why are there no arguments that Flockhart’s weight is merely genetic? According to this notion, there are people in this World who are naturally heavy, but those who are skinny must have starved them­ selves to get there. Perhaps it is because in this weightobsessed nation, overweight individuals pose no threat to the public, whereas overly skinny people are automatical­ ly a “bad* influence.” Whether someone is fat or skinny should play no part in being a role model. It is the unhealthy who should be deemed “bad” role models in terms of influencing body images. So, until I see Flockhart on the evening news with her finger down her throat, l am going to ignore the accusa­ tions — as should everyone else.

'( Up until abo.ut a guest colum nist month ago, I worked at Channel 2 for about two years. When I joined the second semester of my freshman year, the station was run by one man out of closets in two different buildings on cam­ pus. Former station director Michael “Jiggs” Grjegian conducted all the business, made all the text screens, programmed all the machines and did everything else by himself. Channel 2 also sucked. I joined on a semester after Jiggs and my job was to make all the graphics. Channel 2 still sucked. It sucked because it was being built almost from scratch. At the time, we had no student programming, lousy graphics and archaic computers. The movies cut out all the time and Jiggs fielded at least five calls per day from students telling uS how bad Channel 2 was. But it got better. Jiggs begged, pleaded and scrounged for money, got better equipment and VCRs that Worked and Channel 2 started to look like a real TV station. By the end of last year, we had three people working there, there were several student programs and it became a viable program choice. Channel 2 was actually good. Then we came back from vacation this summer to find a new face sitting behind Jiggs’ desk at Channel 2. Without talking with Jiggs or the two students working there, Student Media had assigned a gradu­ ate student to help “advise” the operation of the station. I admit we weren’t “team players,” but think about our position. Our “team” was just starting to win and our “team captain” Was replaced without “team” consent. And while the graduate assistant was supposed to assist Jiggs, he ended up trying to replace Jiggs. CBS 60 Minutes aired a videotape recently showing Dr. jack Kevorkian administering a lethal dose of drugs to Thomas Youk, a 52-year-old Michigan man suffering from i terminal disease. Kevorkian, a re tire d Michigan pathologist w h o 'h as acknowl­ edged helping about 120 people commit suicide, s» d Youk died s t a f fe r f e e ls t h e lo s s The ensuing mess Was discussed in the article “Channel 2 yanked off airwaves” (State Press Nov. 24) and the letter on Monday, “Equal time regarding Channel 2,” as tension and immaturity grew on both sides. Student Media was finally pushed too far and it retaliated, forcing Jiggs to resign before he could be fired. By the end of the conflict, all sides felt wounded and Channel 2 was left in the hands of Student Media, which ran it into the ground by the end of the first month. In the process of taking over Channel 2 and trying to run it like a business. S tudent M edia alien ated the students working there and compromised our abil­ ity to run the station well — not to men­ tion the fact that Jiggs was relieved o f almost all his power and dealt with like he could be replaced, Jiggs could not be replaced, He ran Channel 2 essentially single-handedly for two years. He dragged the station off the ground and pushed everything he had into making it a viable student television Station — as was the intent of the Residential Hall Association. While I have watched the situation esca­ late and conclude from only one side of the line, what I have learned paints a decidedly ugly picture of Student Media. Student M edia isn ’t a bad organization; I have worked as a cartoonist and freelance writer for the State Press and enjoyed my time there. But it handled the merger with Channel 2 in a bad way. Students were the most important part of Channel 2 and I want people to know that the mess between RHA and Student Media does riot end in bureaucracy. Now, hot only can’t students work at Channel 2, but they can ’t watch it either. Gentry Smith is a junior studying intermedia art.

C a l d w e l l S t a t e P r ess A sex offender could be living next door to you and you would never know it. ' But people can protect themselves by calling the Tempe Police Department sex offender hotline, created after a 1996 federal law was passed requiring the registration of all sex offenders. Tempe Police Detective Sarah Fox said the federal law, named Megan’s Law after a New Jersey girl who was a victim of a repeat sex offender, also mandated the community notification process that is now in place. Fox said that once a sex offender is released from prison, the person must regis­ ter with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department and then with the local police department. “We have a 45-day window from thé time we get their information, to the time the public is notified,” Fox said. Detective B. Meisner of the Sheriff’s Department said her office registers offend­ ers and then the city the person moves into takes the Case. Meisner said the only offend­ ers she keeps track of are those in unincorpo­ rated areas, Each offender is given a risk assessment and placed into a risk category before notifi­ cation can be made. Fox said the criteria used to assess an offender’s risk level is not available for public view. She said there are three levels of risk an offender is placed into prior to being released into the community: • Level one, the lowest risk, requires only that local police agencies and immediate household members are notified of the offender’s presence. • Level two, a moderate risk, requires that local schools be notified and possibly neigh­ bors and local employers. Notification in this case will vary with each individual situation. • Level three, the highest risk category, requires that all surrounding residents and members of the community are notified of the suspect’s presence. Typically, Fox said, a flyer with a photograph will be distributed in the city telling residents who the offender is, his/her exact address and the crime he/she committed. The- risk level is determined according to both her own assessment and that of the offender’s parole officer, Fox added. Fox said any suspect released from jail prior to 1996 is subject to the community notification section of the law. The length o f tim e a convicted sex offender will be required to register with local police agencies varies from state to state. Fox said,- However, Arizona has a life­ time registration statute. If a sex offender moves into or within Arizona, the person must register the change of address, ’“They can face Charges of a class four felony (for not making the change) for each time they move,” Fox Said. She said there is only one level-three offender living in Tempe at present. A sec­ ond level-three offender is moving into the community and residents will be notified in the coming weeks. The hotline receives an average of about three phone calls per day and Fox said it can be helpful if someone is new to the area and would like to know their potential neigh­ bors. Students living on campus, however, do not need to worry about this, ASU Police Chief l.anny Standridge said Residential Life has a policy of not allowing registered sex offenders to live in campus dorms. Officials from Residential Life were not available for comment. “ We notify our community after receiv­ ing a notice from local police agencies," Standridge said.

Mark Hajduk and De’vi Vann took first place last month in both Latin and standard dance styles at the highest collegiate level of the Ohio Star Ball, an international dance competition. They beat the top 10 couples out of 600 dancers. They also received four awards last weekend at the California Star Ball, including first in novice standard style. “The Ohio Star Ball is the most presti­ gious competition in the United States, so we were even shocked to get first in one division,” Vann said. “Most people dance just one style or the other, so then to win first in both was incredible.’’ Beth Lessard, an ASU ballroom dance professor, said the ASU dance department is excited because Hajduk and Vann are the first ASU students to ever compete in the Ohio Star Ball. “We were elated that they took first in both styles as the first ASU students to even compete there,” she said. “They were basi­ cally the best collegiate competitors there.” Hajduk said conditions were poor during the holiday break when he and Vann com­ peted in California, but were still able to perform well. “It was cold and we didn’t sleep much, but we thought we had a chance and did our best,” he said. The couple will showcase their talent at the dance department’s end-of-the-semester performance. All ballroom dance students will perform for their final grade and Hajduk and Vann will dance one of three solo exhibitions for the show. Vann said the event is a good way to promote ballroom dancing on campus and in the community. “For the whole semester, we work on these dances in class,” she said. “This is a chance for students to present what they’ve learned to friends and family, and people outside of ASU who are interested in learn­ ing more about ballroom dancing.” The end-of-the-semester performance will be held at the Physical Education Building East, Room 139 on Dec. 16. It’s free and open to the public. Questions can be referred to 965-2512. Girl recants dog-beating story FLAGSTAFF (AP) — An 8-year-old girl who told police she saw a golfer beat­ ing a.dog with a golf club has recanted her story. The report had officers combing a golf course for suspects. The girl’s father called Flagstaff police and told them his daughter had made up the story, which had captured the attention of anim al lovers nationw ide, said police spokesman Capt. Bob White. “The girl apparently approached her father and said things have gotten out of hand,” said White. The girl initially said she had seen the golfer hitting the dog, a 5-year-old Labrador retriever named Oprah, after it had picked up a golf ball Nov. 7 on the 12th O p e n in g J a n u a r y 1 , hole of the Elden Hills Golf Course. Since the rep o rt, police have gone through golfer sign-in lists at the golf course in search of a suspect. “There was never any indication that what she was telling us wasn’t true,” White said. The dog’s owner, Margie Buchanan, said the girl’s parents told her about the girl’s confession. “I am'just as shocked as the parents are,” B uchanan said. “Something definitely happened and I’m at a loss. If that story is not true, what hap­ pened to my dog?” Buchanan said the dog was injured and at one time was near death. The dog is recovering slowly. 1999 Brand New, 43 - 2 Bedroom , 2 Bath Units 2 M o n th s F r ee R en t* *( 1st and last m onth free on 12 m os lease) 1207 E a s t 8 t h S tr e e t ( R u r a l a n d U n iv e r s it y ) Application fee waived until D ec. 31,1998 Laundry Room, Pool, BBQ’s, Security Gates, Cable Ready Refrigerator, Stove, Dishwasher, Microwave Free C ontinental B reakfast - C A L L ED A T 449-3315 FO R A S N EA K P R E V IE W $850 M onth / $425 Security D eposit / N o Pets / Electric N ot Incl. Missionaries to Russia possibly attacked for being Americans B y S t a c i R . M a ie r s S p e c ia l t o t h e S t a t e P r e s s The American m issionaries recently attacked in Russia might-have been targeted not because of their religion, but because they were Americans, said ASU students who also served missions in Russia, David Ellingson, a 24-year-old Russian senior who returned from his Moscow mis­ sion: two years ago, said religion was actu­ ally a factor in his safety. “People, in general, respect religious missionaries or people associated with church,” he said, “They realized we were not bandits or anything like that. In fact, I felt safer than a lot of the Russians proba­ bly did.” But being associated with a religious organization did hot shield him from being attacked. Ellingson was mugged by a group of 20 Gypsy children while he was riding the metro in Moscow, The reason, he said, was because he looked “American.” “We look different and people recog­ nized that we weren’t Russians,” Ellingson said. “I think they almost automatically fig­ ured we were Americans.” Herb Gregg, a 51-year-old Mesa man who was kidnapped earlier this month, is the third Valley missionary attacked in Russia this year alone. Gregg, who has been serving a mission in the southern Russian region of Dagestan with The Evangelical Alliance Mission (TEAM) since 1994, was forced into a vehicle by a group of Russian men. Gregg was teaching English at a nearby university with his wife, Linda, who is also from Mesa. . Richaid Bently, a 24-year-old Russian major, said he was robbed by two Russians during the day when he was serving his mission five years ago in the Ukrainian town of Sim feropol, near the w estern Russian border. Bentley said he was also attacked because he was an American and not because he was a Mormotf missionary, “They (Russians) know we’re Americans and that we have money,” he said. “There were so many stings that I would just watch them go down. I don’t know how many ... foreigners got ripped off.” Travis C arter, a 25-year-old supply chain management senior, said he was tar­ geted because Mormon missionaries were usually dressed in business attire while traveling in Russia and considered to be wealthy Americans. “We had to be dressed in suits when we went to people’s houses,” C arter said. “They knew who we were because of our appearance and would wait until we left our apartments before they went in and stole our stuff. It’s kind of inevitable because you c a p ’t change w hat you look like either.” The recent rise in attacks on missionar­ ies has prompted a change in the Church of Jesus Christ o f Latter-day Saints’ policy concerning missions in the republics of the former Soviet Union. Russian major Russ van der Werf, 25, founded the Kharakov, Ukraine mission in 1992 and said that although it was not very dangerous when he was there, the living sit­ uation has now grown more hostile because of the economic crisis in the Ukraine and Russia. As a result, many rules concerning Mormon missionaries in the area like cur­ fews have become more stringent, he said. “Ukraine had just declared indepen­ dence a couple months before (we arrived), so we didn’t have any regulations or rules concerning the mission or what to expect,” van der Werf said. “We kind of had free reign just to do whatever we wanted.” Although there weren’t any real safety issues, a couple of people were beaten, he said. “Scott Scuggs (a Mormon missionary) came out of a house and some guys were just waiting there to beat him up,” van der Werf said. “I think the Russians were drunk when it happened because it was pretty late at night. It was almost the exact same thing that happened to Brad (Borden) and Jose (Mackintosh).” In mid-October, Bradley Borden and Jose Manuel Mackintosh had finished visit­ ing a house where a Mormon family lived when they were stabbed by a Russian man, believed to be intoxicated, in the town of Ufa, which is located in the Ekaterinburg m ission about 750 m iles southeast of Moscow. Borden, a 20-year-old ASU stu­ dent who took a leave of absence to serve a mission in Russia, survived the attack, but Mackintosh, his companion from Nevada, was fatally wounded. But Levi Gunderson, a 20-year-old ASU student who returned from his mission in August, said attacks like that on Borden and Mackintosh were rare, even though his friend, Travis Tuttle of Gilbert,, was kid' napped along' with hfs companion^ Andrew Propst of Lebanon, Ore., and held for ran­ som for four days by a Russian couple who had once been part of the Mormon Church in Russia. “When I was there,” Gunderson said, “there were no problems whatsoever.” For those missionaries who were either physically attacked or robbed, the experi­ ence o f serving God and the M ormon Church is worth the risk, van der Werf said. “I had a really good experience and 1 got to learn Russian and independence,” he said. “Spiritually, you grow. 1 came back with a real firm belief in God and life.” Carter also said the positive experiences of being a missionary in Russia outweigh the negative aspects o f the m ission. Although Carter does not have the funds to finance a trip back to Russia, he would love to return someday. “I’d go back in a heartbeat,” he said.

KUPD had a tight budget that year and ‘ wanted to draw attention. “We thought if we could do something controversial to get people’s attention by getting on the front page of the paper or a lead story of the TV news -— even if it was a negative story on myself and KUPD — then it would be worth it,” Pratt said. “So I came up with this idea of the sheep.” When opening the foldout mailer, people were surprised by a photo o f Dave Pratt squatting behind a sheep in a red bathrobe and grinning ear-to-ear. “It was the most interesting thing calling farms and ranches out in Queen Creek, ask­ ing them if I could take a picture sodomiz­ ing their sheep,” Pratt said. The farmers generally wanted to know if Pratt was actually going to sodomize the sheep. But it didn’t take long for Pratt to find a willing farm » and sheep. “We were in the middle of a barnyard and it stunk,” he said. “The sheep were strong and I couldn’t get the sucker to stand still.” While Pratt struggled with the sheep, the photographer was yelling, “You have to stay in your humping position.” Afterward, while looking at the pho­ tographs, Pratt and his staff discovered an interesting development: “Oh my God! I’m humping a male sheep!” he exclaimed. Originally Pratt wanted the ad of himself sodomizing a sheep on a billboard, but that idea was nixed. So Pratt came up with an even better idea — put it in people’s mail­ boxes. The small amount of money spent on tiie sheep campaign made more than what most radio stations made from TV and bill­ board campaigns. jH “I believe that you should be able to print anything you want and let the public decide,” Pratt said. Not surprising, the KUPD audience was upset that it didn’t receive the mailer and the general public was angry that it did. The mailers became collectors items. Pratt auto­ graphed 100 copies and sold them for $100 a piece. The proceeds were donated to charity; The Show Pratt’s show has a loose format which allows for a lot of freedom. He doesn’t pre-plan his show. “The listen­ ers basically make and run the show,” he said. “The show goes in whatever direction the callers want it to, starting at 5:30 a m.” Pratt said. “We might still be on that samé topic at 10 a.m. when we were closing the show.” Pratt uses live telephone calls, while most radio stations use tape delay. If someone calls up and asks a question, Pratt said he says the first thing that pops into his mind regardless of the consequences. “I’d rather fell flat on my face than not risk it,” he said. He particularly enjoys the spontaneity and feels it makes the «how funnier and more interesting .“They can bmp, they can fart, they can scream,” Pratt said. Generally, radio hosts set up interviews with celebrities at the start of the year and plan out their shows from there. But Pratt has a more interesting approach. He sends invitations for the show to celebri­ ties m music, sports, news and entertainment In the letters, Pratt includes a hotline phone number for celebratics to call on the spur of the moment. If they have an opinion about something, Pratt will put them on the air. T hope I’m never a personality who has to write out an interview, dial’s so boring,” he said The Other Morning Guy One of Pratt’s biggest competitors is C r e d ib ility y o u c a n M ic h a e l C u r r a n o f t h e S t a t e P r e s s The “Morning Mayor” Dave Pratt relaxes in his stiutio in Guadeloupe.

But it didn’t prepare them for AIDS, a disease the two now share with their 5-yearold son. To raise awareness of this deadly dis­ ease, ASU Will host activities on campus today in observance of World AIDS Day. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), is believed to be caused by the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV). The virus is transmitted through exchange o f body flu id s like blood or sem en. According to the Joint U.N. Program on HIV/AIDS, 30 to 40 million people all over the world will have been infected with the virus by the year 2000. Living with AIDS or HIV is pot easy. The Shavers take medication that would cost between $20,000 to $30,000 per month if they did not have insurance. Also, the side effects make diem feel tired, numb and queasy. “I t’s like dum ping toxic w aste into your body just to stay alive,” Barb said. “I start at 6 a.m. with my medication and don’t get done until 1 a.m.,” the 36-yearold said. Both Barb and Ted don’t know who was infected first and Barb says she doesn’t care. “ W hat’s the point?” she asked. “We don’t want any negativity.” Barb said she and her husband, who is an ASU graduate student in education, had You can b an k on u s! T-cell counts that were dangerously low. T cells regulate immunity and a drop in the levels signify loss of immunity to disease. “(The doctors) couldn’t believe we weren’t dead already,” she said. Now the medication is working, increas­ ing her T -cell count and her health is improving, Barb added. Her advice to all youngsters: “Protect yourselves (during sex).” “It takes only once,” she said. Barb’s warning echoes what the ASU event is intended to communicate. World AIDS Day at ASU is organized by the P hoenix W orld AIDS Day Committee, which includes the University, the C om m unity C hurch o f Hope and Phoenix Body Positive, a nonprofit organi­ zation.

Janice Peterpaul’s 6 1/2-year-old son wants an interactive robot for Christinas. That’s all he wants, and he hasn’t stopped asking for it. Then there are her two daughters, ages 8 and 9, who don’t play with toys much anymore, but love nailpolish and m akeup. And her 11-year-old son wants video games instead of action figures. “It’s not the way it used to be,” said Mrs. Peterpaul, of Warren, N.J. Forget Barbie dolls and X-Men. Kids today grow out of toys much younger than they did in the past; some moving on to high-tech toys, clothing, beauty sets and sporting goods’ by the end of kindergarten. That means big trouble for the toy industry, which has been slow at adapting to c h ild re n ’s changing desires. W ith the holidays nearing, many toy makers and retailers are finding it tough to build excitement for most o f the toys filling the stores. “I’d say we are at the two-minute warning,” said Michael Glazer, president and chief executive officer of K-B Toys. “We are optimistic ... but based on the track record of the last nine months, it’s been a very tough year.” Toy sales topped $22 billion last year, but aren’t expected to go much beyond that in 1998. Even Terri B artlett, spokesw om an for the usually upbeat Toy Manufacturers of America (TMA), acknowledged that “we won’t break any records this year.” That’s not to say that there aren’t Some hot toys this year. Furby is already in scarce supply, while Bounce Around Tigger, Air Hogs and anything with ties to the Nickelodeon show Blue’s Clues is selling well. But these blockbuster hits can’t mask the fundamen­ tal changes in the toy industry, and may in fact reflect the changing nature of children’s play. “They like TV, They like the computer. They like video games. The girls like the makeup and stuff. But that’s redlly it,” Mrs. Peterpaul said. Like M rs. Peterpaul, other parents — especially those with kids ages 6 to 11 — say their children only want high-tech toys. More than a million interactive Furby dolls will sell by Christmas ami Nintendo’s new ■ ft iTlf i r ff, * * ‘ 1?. “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” video game p re so ld m ore th an 4 0 0 ,0 0 0 co p ies b e fo re it was released Thanksgiving week. In contrast, sales of Barbie dolls — long an anchor of toystores — are expected to be down this year for the first time since 1976. Also less popular are activity toys, board games and building blocks. “My little sister likes dolls, but not me,” said Maria Diaz, a third-grader froin the Bronx borough of New York. “I want stuff for my hair, like barrettes ... and lots of different colored nailpolish for Christmas.” Both retailers and toymakers feel the effect of this shift in spending. Toys R Us is renovated stores to include more space for electronics and clothes — two areas where the Paramus, N.J.-based toymaker sees a big growth poten­ tial as it undergoing a massive restructuring. And manufacturers are pressed to come up with a whole new area of products. Hasbro, which produces many board gam es, has built a successful interactive division that took games like Clue, Scrabble and Life and put them on CD-ROM. Mattel, trying, to put some luster back in its Barbie brand, is building its interactive business with a CDROM collection tied to the doll. Barbie Riding Club CD-ROM lets children have their own Virtual horse to care for, w hile the B arbie Photo D esigner D igital Camera and CD-ROM connects photos to the computer. In just 18 months, sales in Mattel’s interactive divi­ sion have grown from $20 million to about $100 mil­ lion. Even Lego stepped up its technology this year. Lego Mindstorms allows children to design and control their own robots, using a microchip that can be programed through a personal computer. Analysts predict that sales of video games, which rose 55 percent last year, will rise an additional 45 per­ cent this year. Sales of computer games will go upyjjy as much as 15 percent in 1998. p “We are really at a turning point for the industry and children’s play,” said the TMA’s Bartlett. “There is a new generation of children and we have tb catch up to them.” ’ i KBAQ PRODUCTION STUDIO A Part o f KAET-TV/Phoenix D E C E MBE f t PE RF O R M A N C E S Broadcast on KBAQ, 89.5 FM (6 0 2 ) 9 6 5 -3 5 0 6 The best of the Southwest, introduced by host Sterling Beeaff December 1 December 8 w o ri ic SD ay B e a F o rc e fo r C h a n g e ” December 15 December 22 December 29 TO D A Y Conmunlty Awareness Fair 10am to 2 dbi« Hayden lawn Candlelight Vigil 7pm • Hayden lawn December 3 December 10 December 17 December 24 December 31 Donate $1 in honor of w orld AIDS Day.

Satchel Paige said, ‘W h en you start looking back, somebody’s gaining on you.’” — A S U men’s basketball coach Rob Evans fmr T u c « J« y . OwM jm lia r I . I W I Crandall happy to be playing, not watching A S U to b a ttle N e w B y N ic k P ie c o r o S t a t e P ress ASU men’s basketball coach Rob Evans (front) has finally been able to coach freshman guard Kenny Crandall, Who recently became eligible to play under NCAA rules. Kenny Crandall stood off to the side of each A SU ’s men’s basketball practice by himself last month. Wearing his hat back­ ward and a T-shirt commemorating the 1998 Mesa Mountain View Toros basket­ ball team, the last squad he played for, he watched his soon-to-be teammates give it all they’ve got as he worked on his jump shot. The freshman guard wasn’t actually on the ASU team yet. Not officially, any­ way. Even though NCAA rules stipulated that he couldn’t participate, he still went to every practice, ju st so that when he could play, h e ’d be ready. His high school GPA and SAT score didn’t add up to the necessary requirements, so he had to take the SAT twice more before finally passing with a suitable score. “It sucks to w atch b a s k e tb a ll,” Crandall said. “I only like playing it.” But Crandall, after following the prop­ er NCAA steps, as painstaking as they sometimes are, saw his first action of the season last Tuesday in A SU ’s loss to Kansas State, playing 10 minutes. It’s not that he didn't deserve more playing time, but after the 10 minutes, he had already reached the five-foul limit. “I was a little too excited,” Crandall admitted. “I think that normally I don’t hack that bad.” But even in those precious 10 minutes, Rob E vans and his s ta ff saw en o u g h promise to give him 31 minutes the next day against Chaminade. He may g et even more playing time tonight and possibly a start —- when the Sun .Devils play New Orleans at 7 at Wells Fargo Arena. / O r le a n s to n ig h t His statistics from those 41 minutes a re n 't eye-popping, but th ey ’re solid. Especially for someone who hadn’t prac­ ticed once w ith the team . He has 12 points and four assists so far, and, most importantly, zero turnovers. “He’s got a good feel for the game,” senior point guard Ron DuBois noticed about Crandall. “A lot of guys don’t have that. They don’t have that special knack where they know how to play,” E vans added, “F irst o f all, he can score. He can create for other people, he Can defend, he rebounds, the basketball, he understands the game, and he’s a great competitor. All of those things are things we have to have to be a good basketball team.” Most im portantly to the Sun Devils, Crandall can score. He proved it in high school and he’ll prove it in college, most likely Sooner than later. A third scorer is something that the Sun Devils desperately need to co m p lim en t u p p erclassm en Bobby Lazor and Eddie House. If Crandall has im pressed his team ­ mates and head coach this much so far, imagine him as a senior. Or after h e’s practiced once or twice, “We had him over in Hawaii without»a practice.” Evans said. "He didn’t even know the plays; and he really helped us over there: Now (after practicing with the team ) h e ’s starting to understand the plays and the defense w e’re trying to teach. •. ;‘He’s a very, Very intelligent basket­ ball player. He was well coached in high school.” He must have been well coached in high school, ju d g in g solely by his team ’s results.

Randy Johnson, a former Cy Young Award w inner w ith the S eattle Mariners, agreed Monday to a fouryear, $53 million dollar contract with the A rizona,D iam ondbacks, ow ner Jerry C olangelo announced. “ I felt confident from the first day I met with Randy and his agents,” Colangelo said. “I felt in my heart of hearts that this was the right place for him. 1 think there was always an interest in his part and a tug in his heart relative to playing at home, “The big question was how soon could we become competitive as compared to all of these teams because of his fierce competitiveness and desire to win." Johnson will be formally introduced at a Wednesday press conference. The second-year expansion team won an intense battle for the left-hander’s services — it beat out Anaheim, Los Angeles and Texas — for two reasons: Johnson lives in nearby Paradise Valley, and he believes the Diamondbacks have a chance to rapidly become a contender. “ For us, i t ’s obvious there are fam ily issu e s,” Johnson’s agent, Barry Meister, told radio station KM VP, “and he’s pleased to spend his life in the Valley for hope­ fully the rest of his baseball life.” Colangelo said Johnson received higher offers, but chose to remain close to home. Johnson’s contract, which averages $13.25 million per year, is the second-highest in baseball behind the $13.33 million Mo Vaughn will get under the $80 million, six-year contract he agreed to Nov. 25 with Anaheim. , Johnson’s contract also contains a club option for a fifth year with a buyout provision. Johnson, 35, was 10-1 with a 1.28 ERA and 116 strike­ outs in 84 1/3 innings this year for the Houston Astros, who acquired him from Seattle on July 31. Unhappy with the Mariners after they refused to give him a contract extension after the 1997 season, Johnson had asked for a trade. In all, he struck out 329 this season, leading the major leagues. Johnson will join a rotation that includes fellow free agent signees Todd Stottlemyre, who recently signed a $32 million, four-year contract, and Armando Reynoso, who signed a $5.5 million, two-year deal last week; Andy Benes, who set an expansion-team record with 14 victo­ ries; Omar Daal, who sported a 2.88 ERA last year; and Brian Anderson, : “I believe that many of the moves that we made since that first meeting 29 days ago made the difference,” Colangelo said. “All of those moves were significant in his eyes in terms of a commitment to win.” The Associated Press contributed to this story.

ASU head coach Bruce Snyder told The A sso cia ted Press that E llio tt’s departure Was “in the best interests of the team,’’ but gave no further explanation. Elliott, a redshirt freshman, complet­ ed 39 of 73 passes for 365 yards and one touchdown. He also tossed three inter­ ceptions. He started the Oct. 16 game against Stanford in place of a struggling Ryan Kealy, but was shaky (8 of 17 for 92 yards) and was replaced by Kealy in the fourth quarter. Elliott was scrutinized for running off the field while his team­ mates celebrated the 44-38 overtime win. • Kealy started the Sun Devils’ next two .games against Washington State and Cal, and when Kealy wasn’t available for the Nov. 14 game against Oregon due to an injured right knee, senior Steve Campbell was Snyder’s choice. The coaching staff has been unhappy with Elliott’s attitude this season, and the dismissal could have been hastened by the fact that he said he would probably transfer after the season if he felt he d id n ’t have a legitim ate chance to become a permanent starter. “Chad felt he no longer had a future th e re ,” E llio tt’s fa th er, Stan, said. “Chad’s real upbeat.

There’s no animosity with coach Snyder. “But he can’t get where he’s aiming to get from ASU... Chad said from the first day he was there that he didn’t want to be a backup quarterback.” . NCAA rules state that Elliott must sit out a year, and return the following year with two years of eligibility, if he trans­ fers to a school outside the Pac-10. If he goes to another Pac-10 team, he must sit out two years and have one year o f remaining eligibility. “He’s an awesome quarterback, and he deserves all the right things to happen for him ,” K ealy said o f E llio tt late F riday, after the decision was announced. “He just did what he thought was best,” The State Fress seeks dedicated, experienced reporters tQ cover sports in the spring semester, heir up an application in the basement of the Matthews Center or call Doug at 965-2292. j1 1 Crandall (the only loss came against what amounts guages: “I don’t care to learn another lan­ to a recruited all-star squad) and were guage.” ranked 13th in the country according to Evans said, “It would be nice (to not USA Today. lose him), but it’s selfish on our part.
