The lower level is creating a shorter drop-off point and more tenuous footing for trailers at some launch ramps that remain open. “The key is in taking as much time as needed,” Tim Kristoff, assistant park manager of Windsor Beach State Park, told Today’s News-Herald. “We just had Hot Boat Magazine launch a couple of big boats for a photo shoot and they didn’t have any trouble. They took their time.” Sandpoint Marina General Manager Robert Tucker said his courtesy dock, fuel dock and launch ramp have all suf­ fered damage related to boats and the low water level.

UofA professors allege racial reasons in dismissal TUCSON (AP) — Professors in the University of Arizona’s Africana program are fighting to have their for­ mer director reinstated, saying she was unjustly removed because she is black. They say the former director was discriminated against' because she is black and that their current director is favored by the dean because his skin is lighter. They also ' allege that another professor was discriminated against because of her gender. S Tofessors Ikenna Dieke, Lansana Keita and now-acting rector Julian Kunnie complained about Kunnie’s prede­ cesso r, M ikelle Sm ith O m aria, to the C ollege of Humanities Dean Charles Tatum. Tatum removed Omari in October 1996, about a year into her five-year director’s contract, and she returned to her tenured professorship in the art department. Omari had received positive performance reviews just weeks before and was not given any reason for her dis­ missal. Dieke and Keita turned from critics to supporters of Omari when fellow professor Tolagbe Ogunleye failed to get a contract renewal despite positive reviews. The professors say the two cases indicate gender dis­ crimination — an allegation administrators deny’. Tatum said Omari was dismissed for a number of prob­ lems and that university policies allowed for administrators to be reassigned at any time. Omari said it was because she was a black woman. She filed a grievance w ith the U .S. Equal E m ploym ent Opportunity Commission, which ruled in her favor in November. The agency said Tatum supplied “limited evidence of (Omari’s) alleged poor administrative skills” and that she was not offered assistance to overcome “perceived difficulties.” Omari, the EEOC found, was terminated because of her gender and national origin. She was offered a $100,000 settlement by the university, and she said she would have taken it if it weren’t for the recent dismissal of Ogunleye. Arpaio denies he had deputies tailed political foes PHOENIX (AP) — Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is vehemently denying allegations th at he ordered deputies to tail his political enemies. F e d e ra l in v e s tig a to rs are p ro b in g whether Arpaio ordered surveillance on a laundry list o f foes, including Maricopa C o u n ty A tto rn e y R ick R om ley, The Arizona Republic reported Saturday. “ T h is is rid ic u lo u s ,” A rp a io said Sunday. “It’s just a product o f vile and bizarre imagination.” He said he would launch an internal investigation into the roots of the allega­ tions. Many of the enemies Arpaio deputies allegedly shadowed were involved in a lawsuit stemming from the 1996 death of inm ate S cott N orberg. He died w hile struggling with deputies. His family set­ tled with the county for $8.25 million. B esides R om ley, who lau n ch ed an investigation into N orberg’s death, the lis t o f a lle g e d su rv e illa n c e ta rg e ts in c lu d e s: the in m a te ’s fa th e r, Jaro n N o rb erg ; fa m ily a tto rn e y M ich ael M anning and U.S. D istrict Judge Paul Rosenblatt, who heard the case.

This is so bizarre. This is ridiculous,” Arpaio said. inion I Sheriff Joe shou ld go | the way- of th e dodo I It’s time for Joe to go, folks. "Yes, our most hated and beloved public official, [ Joe Arpaio (a.k.a. “America’s Toughest Sheriff’), is j j in the papers again and it’s not because o f some- ] dumb PR tactic he’s employed like flying overhead I in hot-air balloons or forming “pet posses.” According to an article that ran in Saturday’s The I A rizo n a R epublic, federal investigators are on j Arpaio’s case again — this time to see if he was j ordering deputies to tail and find dirt on his political enemies. In Monday's Republic, Steve Barnes, president o f | a deputies union, claimed he gave the FBI names o f j deputies that had made complaints that they were being ordered to investigate the sheriff’s enemies, { most of which stem from a 1996 lawsuit over the } death of inmate Scott Norberg. Norberg died while being retrained by sherrif’s officials in jail. Thus begins yet more public scrutiny into the i shady affairs o f the M aricopa C ounty S h eriff’s , 1 Office. But, Sheriff Joe is no stranger to investiga- f tions and public criticism. Despite his much trumpetI ed 85 percent approval rating, Arpaio has received | nearly as much bad press as Fife Symington and Evan Mecham. Yet none o f this outcry has given fruit to anything more than a couple o f negative edi- j torials and maybe an informal investigation or two. . Well, we at the State Press think its time for Joe to I | cut bait and hand over the reigns to someone else, j s Allegations o f civil right violations, police brutality ! | and now, misuse of power have simply become far i ; too commonplace for Arpaio and it will eventually ! j affect the office if he doesn’t resign, move on to j 5 another office, o r get im peached — w hichever J I comes first. Just Sunday, for example, CNN did an unfavor- j j able story on the circumstances around die death o f j ( Scott Norberg, leaving the Sheriff’s Office looking j pretty bad. Then came the report of a former felon on the sheriff’s posse on Channel 12, which was aired | 1 the same day. What we’re trying to say is that when there are so j many questions surrounding an official’s character j | and the administration o f their office, then that per- . | son’s credibility automatically comes into question. I I Example: is there really anybody who doesn’t think j ] that President Clinton is guilty o f most, if not all, o f | | the sexual indiscretions he has been accused of? | Probably n o t Same goes for Joe. We wonder how | | m any people really believe the sheriff w hen he j I denies allegations that he’s been shadowing .political j [ foes. Yet do people care? Apparently riot. O f course, we realize Sheriff Joe will never resign, j | After all, when was die last time you ever saw a pub- | | licity nymphomaniac like Arpaio who, no doubt i | about it, is a politician — ever voluntarily resign a \ I position w ith such a high approval rating, even I | though it was the honorable thing to do? Indeed, if a | ( man like Arpaio were to do such an honorable thing, j j we wouldn’t know how to react. So. there Sheriff Joe will stay, reclining in his big j chair, behind his big desk, with his cowboy-booted j feet perched on top like w e’ve seen in all the iront| page photos until the inevitable day that he will | throw in his hat for the governor’s office. Yet will the | public wake up and call for his resignation by then? f Doubtful. But the fact still remains: it’s time for Joe to go. Electio n s need m o re sub stance Associated Students of ASU offi­ cials said they were shocked at the lack of student interest toward senate and presidential primaries last week. They were further dismayed when only 3 percent of the student popula­ tion actually turned out to vote in the preliminary elections.: And AS ASU will continue to be appalled in the next three weeks, as voter indifference persists through the final elections for presidential and senate positions. Interest in student elections has fallen so low it even inspired the Generation Action Plan, a campaign that tries to boost student morale and interest in elections. The organization focuses on creating a sense of civic respon­ sibility and targets what political issues are important to college students. The election indifference targeted by the Generation Action Plan is often blamed on the voters, attributed to busy schedules, political pessimism, or just a dislike for politics as a whole. But that’S not why 97 percent of the University didn’t Vote. The Generation Action Plan is a good plan with good intentions, but it doesn’t address thè source of the prob­ lem. The truth is, the catalyst of voter indifference has nothing to do with voters. It has to do with the candidates. And it has to do with the method in which they run for office. The reason why fewer than 1,500 students voted in the primaries is pretty glaring; The rest of ASU has no idea who the political prospects are or what they stand for. The only differences the average student saw between primary campaigners were the posters dispersed on cam­ pus. Posters that have nothing to do with the positions can­ didates are seeking. Rather than becoming a forum for hard issues and stu­ dent concerns, elections have become an artistic chal­ J MM— lenge to whoever can come up With the wittiest takeoff on commercial logos»-— ranging from Nike advertisements to the got milk? campaign. As humorous as these posters are, they don’t educate Constituents or help voters decide who can best lead ASU. What would be encouraging is if the chosen logos had some relevance to candidate platforms or qualifica­ tions — like “Lower Tuition,” “Dry Up the Frats” or “I’m a Reasonably Smart Guy.” ^ Obviously, a candidate will never be able to speak out to all 43,000 students on campus. Campaign signs are the most logical way to get name recognition and voter sup­ port simultaneously. But in an institution of higher educa­ tion, we should expect more of our political nominees than slick advertisements that do nothing to reinforce why they should be elected. ASU students wifi start voting when faced with clear differences in candidates; not clear differences in slogans. Constituents will respond more positively to debates over current issues like student privacy and tuition raises rather than allusions to milk ads and tennis shoes. Until student elections become less of a poster competition and more of a serious evaluation of the issues, rid one can be surprised at a 3-percent Voter turnout. The good news is, whoever wins the campaign in three weeks is probably a hard worker, intelligent, and dedicat­ ed to ASU. Nevertheless, whoever comes away with the victory cannot claim a constituent triumph, because most of ASU will still have no idea who stood for what. In the next three weeks, we can only hope to start see­ ing some real campaigning, debating and speaking. We can only hope that the candidates will .stop defining them­ selves by wordplay on a poster, and start defining their platforms by what they stand for and what they can do. The defining question in this election should be pretty clear: Got issues? Megan N ielsen is a justice studies freshman and can be reached at m niels@ im ap3.asu.edu. 1 1 i S I 1 i j U S B !!

Some students will also be partying pretty hard and that’s cool, as long as they stay aware of w hat’s going on around them . I have a story, that demonstrates just how important this ÌS. ' ; In 1994, 1 was living in Southern California. A few friends and I went to Lake Havasu City for three days in March, when many schools are on their break. On the second day, I was with a guy named Bryan at an area called Copper Canyon. There were a lot of party boats in the water and we were sitting on the rocks having a few drinks. Out of nowhere. Bryan pointed at a man face down in the water about 40 yards front where we were. Another man in a boat was coming toward him. but he was looking around as if he didn’t know the guy in the water. Then, at about the same time, we started running into the water to get to the man. Bryan got to the man first, and 1 helped him get the body to shore. When we got him out of the water, I thought we were too late. This person's face was blue. His eyes were a yellowish hue. They were wide-open in fear. He wasn’t breathing. 1 tilted the man’s head to the side to let out some water, and Bryan started hitting his chest. In the panic of the moment 1 was trying to do two things: check to see if the guy had a pulse and scream to anyone within earshot to get help. One person from the bigger party boat said that we were only fooling around. We both responded in epithet­ laden language that this was no joke, and we needed a doc­ tor, right now. After feeling no pulse, I was about to start CPR, while trying to get my hands to stop shaking. Then a miracle happened: I noticed the shallowest of breaths. After a few gasping breaths, each one stronger than the last, the person started to go into shock. There was nothing for Bryan and I to do, except to prevent him from falling back into the water. I was talking to him, telling him that he was going to be all right. I had no idea whether this person knew he could hear me. At this point all of the music in the canyon had stopped. A crowd had surrounded Bryan and I and there were a cou­ ple of strangers who came to help us. Everyone kept say- After feeling no pulse, I was i 4 about to start CPR, while try­ ing to get m y hands to stop shaking. Then a miracle hap­ pened: l noticed the shallowest o f breaths. i # ing that the worst thing to do would be to touch the man in shock. There were now three people talking to the victim. After about 10 minutes, four people who said they were doctors and nurses came over around the same time, at the very time when the victim’s shock started to subside. I left my spot next to the body, and cut through the crowd. I then slumped to the ground about 15 feet away, exhausted. I couldn’t even see the victim through the group of people. After another 10 minutes, only one doctor remained, and the guy who almost drowned was standing up. He then threw up what must have been one to two gallons of water. Then an emergency boat came and the guy climbed onto the boat on his own, most likely to be treated at a hospital. I never learned the name of this person. Five minutes later, the music came back on and people started talking again. Bryan and I went back to the spot where we were and we saw exactly the same scene as we had before the near-drowning. It was as if the last halfhour hadn’t happened. For a few minutes, the only thing Bryan and I could do was to look at each other in disbelief. This incident certainly impacted me in several ways, and there is more to the story. When I look back, the biggest feeling by far, is relief that this person survived. But when I recollect this event, 1 also have the reaction of anger: where the hell were the people with the man who almost drowned? i Everyone should look out for other people in general, but it’s particularly important if you’re on a boat, and peo­ ple are drinking heavily. Someone, somewhere, should have been able to prevent this event. I need to catch up on work this break, but I’ll find the time to go to San Diego for a few days — going surfing. I hope everyone else has a great break. Just be safe, and take care of each other. Scott D. Gillette is a graduate student studying political science and can be reached at sgillette@asu.edu.

The Wildcat Challenge, declared by UofA Thursday, is a battle to see which university can raise the most money for the March of Dimes walk on March 20. And the ASU team is optimistic about the outcome of the rivalry. “ASU is such a big school that we thought we’d have really good involvement,” said Erea Betts, co-chair of the ASU Collegiate Council and a communication freshman. The ASU council was formed in the fall by Betts, pre­ dance freshman Jodi Bender, broadcasting junior B,ecky Steinmetz and business freshman Kelly Yang. 1 WalkAmerica’s mission is to prevent birth defects and infant mortality through education, community services, advocacy, and research, said Melissa McCracken, fund-rais­ ing director of the Arizona chapter of the March of Dimes. McCracken said women should take multivitamins with folic acid before they get pregnant because they can prevent neural tube defects up to 75 percent. And because 60 per- Last yéàr ASU raised $367 with five walkers, Betts said. Although this year’s goal is high, she believes ASU will do well to meet it. The friendly rivalry between ASU and UofA is designed to increase participation, said Jessica Watson, UofA’s youth activities coordinator. Although Watson would like to see UofA win, she said there is a more important cause. “The true goal is to raise as much money as we can so that the March of Dimes can continue to save babies’ lives,” she said. Yang agreed. “The challenge is to help motivate the students and give them something to reach for and help raise more money for our total goal,” Yang,a mem ber o f the council and also a National Youth Council liaiso.said. “Overall, the March of Dimes is going to benefit from both of us competing against each other.” , ASU Collegiate Council members have been talking to campus clubs and trying to get sororities and fraternities involved. “We!ve been trying to get the word out,” Betts said. “I think there’s a lot of kids on campus that like to be involved.” 4 4 The true goal is to raise as much money as w e can so that the March o f Dimes can continue to save babies’ lives. J J Jessica W atson, UofA’s Youth Activities coordinator, com ­ m enting on th e W ildcat Challenge cent of pregnancies are unplanned, it is important to take these vitamins every day, she added. The ASU Collegiate Council is hoping for 180 walkers. Both universities have set a $10,000 goal. ASU has a devoted team that is working hard to get the word out and should have no problem raising that much money, said McCraCken, who is also ASU’s council advisor. The average Arizona walker raises $125 in donations, she added. Former secretary says police told him to call Anwar sodomist tified at the sex and corruption trial that he was arrested by six police officers last Sept. 16. “They stripped me and forced me to say that I was sodomized by Anwar Ibrahim,” said Azmin, who testified last week that he believed his wife never had sexual relations with his former boss. “They also wanted me to say that he is a sodomist, womanizer and corrupt.” - By R. M A G E S W A R Y A s s o c ia t e d P ress KUALA LUMPUR. Malaysia — Anwar Ibrahim’s former, private secretary testified today that he was detained by police, stripped naked and told to say he had been sodomized by the ousted deputy prime minister.

Anwar, a devout Muslim and the father of six, insists that the allegations against him, including sodomy and adultery, were fabricat­ ed to quash his challenge to the 48-year lead­ ership of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. a ........

This familiar media blitz was brought to Hayden Lawn Monday by a group of ASU students in a public relations campaign for a national contest. A group of five public relations seniors are developing the campaign to enter a nationwide contest sponsored by Rolling Stone magazine. If picked as winners, these students will intern with the magazine over thè summer. No representatives of the magazine were present to observe or grade the campaign. Jackie Mieler, a member of the team, said the events were being videotaped, and an edited version will besent in t o Rotting Stone for judging.. "The idea behind the contest is to encourage college stu­ dents to drink more milk." Mieler said. The events at Hayden Lawn included a dunk tank, a milk-mustache photo booth and free milk and cookies for passers-by. The students also dis­ tributed several information brochures listing the health bene­ fits of drinking milk. Mieler said the week-long campaign also includes a ‘‘milk patrol" that will enter all students who are spotted drinking milk in thé Memorial Union into a drawing that has several prizes, such as a mountain bike and various gift certificates. Mieler said the team got sponsorships from several companies, including AMC Theaters, Crocodile Cafe and Pizzeria Uno. All contestants are allow ed to use the slogans and brochures of'the Milk Mustache campaign for their local pro­ ject, she added. In order to measure the effectiveness of their campaign the group will conduct an on-campus survey to measure milk consumption levels, Mieler said. The results of the survey will be compared against a similar study conducted before the ASU campaign was launched, she added. Leah F asten o f t h e S ta te P re ss Shelby Arvenson (left), an ASU accounting ju n io r, and Suzanne Banker, a physical education junior, model their milk mustaches Monday at Milk Madness on Hayden Lawn. The event was organized by five ASU students in a public relations campaign for a national contest to win a sum m er internship with Rolling Stone magazine. FAST, F R E E .
