She Said she thinks most people don’t closely read their contract, but companies should tell them what they’re really charging. “There is this sense of dishonesty about a lot of compa­ nies,” she said. Julie Snyder, public relations director for the Arizona Better Business Bureau, said businesses are often protected if written contracts include information that was not veibally volunteered. However, bureau officials do investigate charges of misleading advertising, and consider businesses unethical when they do not fully disclose information. Some companies take advantage o f consumers who don’t know what questions to ask, Snyder said. And cellular customers like DeGraw can become the victims. ‘T hey make it sound really good, giving you ‘free’ filings like a phone and battery and adapter,” DeGraw said. “But they don’t end up being free because (the service) costs a lot more than you think it’s going to.” InBHiT Arizona unemployment rate drops PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona’s jobless rate dipped again in June after several months of steady in crease, the D epartm ent o f Economic Security said. The unemployment rate fell from 4.6 percent in May to 4.3 percent in June. The rate stopped the steady jobless rise this year, which began after the state hit an a ll-tim e low at 3 .9 p e r c e n t in January. DES reported Thursday that the jobless rate declined in June because fewer jobs than usual were cut during the summer, when many jobs in education are tradi­ tionally cut. Overall, Arizona added 4,500 private- sector jo b s in June, with 2,800 jobs in construction. Town Lake nearing com pletion TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - The Tempe Town Lake was filled to the brim last Wednesday. It’s taken six weeks and one billion gal­ lons of water to fill the artificial lake in the Salt River bed. Officials are counting on 1-inch thick rubber dams to hold all the water, but some of it has been leaking since the lake began filling June 2. Water has been escaping from the small openings between the dams and the con­ crete foundations where they’re bolted. At about five gallons a m inute - or 7,200 g allo n s a day - i t ’s nothing to worry about, said Don Hawkes, an assis­ ta n t s u p e rin te n d e n t w ith th e P u b lic Works Department. ‘’Every dam in the world leaks a little bit, whether they’re rubber dams or con­ crete dams or earthen dams,” Hawkes said. “ When you consider there’s about a billion gallons being held back by those dams, it’s pretty inconsequential.” Besides, he said, the leaks are expected to seal themselves when sediment from the lake bottom moves into the spaces between the dams.and the foundations. T a ik o n a u ts: C h in e s e b o u n d fo r m anned space flight B EIJIN G (A P) - If the ex p erts are right, China is nearly ready to put astro­ nauts into space. They expect the Chinese to launch an unmanned spacecraft later this year and put human crews into orbit next year. That would make China only the third nation, after Russia and the United States, to put a human being in space. ‘’The Chinese will be able to show the rest of the world that, despite what every­ body has said about them, they have devel­ oped the capability to put people in space,” said Phillip Clark, a British expert on file Chinese program. China has a newly refurbished space center, at Jiuquan in the Gobi Desert, a new rocket, and at least two Russian-trained astronauts - dubbed ‘’taikonauts” from the Chinese word for space.

Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers not to drink unpasteurized orange juice distributed by Sun Orchard Inc. Federal officials said Friday that the cases have been reported in 15 states and two Canadian provinces. The company voluntarily recalled its freshly squeezed orange juice on June 25 after clusters ofsalmonella cases were repotted in Washington and Oregon. Sun Orchard is now pas­ teurizing all of its juice products, according to the FDA. The juice products, both frozen and liquid, were dis­ tributed under several brand names including the labels Earls & Joey Tomato’s, Trader Joe’s, Markon, Sysco, Aloha and Voila! The juice in question was dated for use before July 7. Health officials say those who suspect they may have salmonella poisoning should see a doctor immediately. The bacteria can cause severe intestinal distress and possibly even death. ¡fi A local organization wants to control the Valley’s growth b\ putting more u t j planning and zoning j “We are not going to stop growth Growth is inevitable,' but we need to manage it," said Renee Guflkayv spofcesperson for Citizens for S » c h has about November 2000 ballot that wpuld promote a “citizenbased process that would actually require cities and counties to do what they should be doing anyway» which is managing growth,” Guillory said. i | “AU cities and counties over £ 5 0 0 m population would have to do growth managem ent planning,” Guillory said. “The voters would have to approve those plans and any amendments!» the jplans.” I S Jjr:I & Guillory said she hopes the initiative will stop the con­ stant rezoning efforts by creating a solid management plan of tea years.

Jonathan Inge R ep o rter* S iste r d eserves rew ard fo r tu rn in g in b ro th er su sp ected of ‘railroad killings’ afael Resendez-Ramirez, the 3tmi\J a c o b s main suspect in the “railroad mur­ columnist ders,” has turned himself in. He did so at the apparent urging of his sister, who also helped arrange Ramirez's sur­ render to the Texas authorities chi July 13. What would it be like to have a brother, mother or son who is a crimi­ nal? Could one help but wonder if the family had contributed to the criminal behavior? There are as many theories as to how criminals develop as there are criminals. Peer pressure can play a role, espe­ cially in juvenile crime. Many criminals have a history of familial abuse. It is most tempting to blame the family. However, as a social work clinician for many years, I can attest to the fact that there are families in which parents do all the right things yet one of the children inexplicably is a “misfit.” As the comedian Chris Rock recently said, forget exposure to the Internet, guns, and vio len t telev isio n show s, “W hat ever happened to insanity?” Blood still is thicker than water in most families. It takes a special person to turn in to the authorities a sus­ pected criminal who also happens to be a family mem­ b er. D avid K a czy n sk i, th e b ro th e r o f c o n v ic te d Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski, was such a person. David didn’t want to believe that his brother could be the Unabomber, but was convinced of it following the publication o f the Unabomber’s manifesto. He recog­ nized his brother’s style of writing and the themes from letters Theodore had written to him. In a television interview during which his m other was present, David very emotionally explained the obli­ gation he felt to report bis suspicions about his brother to the FBI. David stated repeatedly that he was relieved that his brother could no longer harm himself or others. And no one questioned the million dollar reward paid to David for Help­ ing to break the case, which had gone unsolved for eighteen R — ;— -------— —— ■ —— — -----—— — ■Entertainment Ed itor C lassifieds Contributing Photographers—— Vidd Carroll -------- O pinion Ed ito r Ian W aylaid.

M any people are incensed at the possibility that Ramirez's sister may obtain $125,000 in reward money for assisting in the capture o f her brother. Is it as simple as racism? The families of some criminals, even when no reward money is involved, go to the extreme of changing their names because of the stigma attached to being associated with the criminal. The public often tars families with the same brush it uses on the suspect. Whatever we think of the right of Ramirez’s sister to the reward money, she did a public service. He is safely behind bars. So cut her some slack. D iane C. Jacobs is a doctoral stu d en t in social work and freelance journalist. Sales Representatives — ........— — — Trisha Coffman. Lindsey Collum, Eric Davis.

However, many people are incensed at the possibility that Ramirez’s sister may obtain $125,000 in reward money for assisting' in the capture of her brother. There is mistrust of her motives for turning him in and of whether or not she deserves the reward. Why is that? Could it be because she has chosen anonymity whereas Kaczynski was very open, speaking to the media and appearing on television specials? Given how the media have camped outside the family home, who could blame her? Is it due to the fact that Kaczynski repeatedly expressed compassion for the victims of the Unabomber and planned to give all of the money, after paying legal fees, to the fam­ ilies of the victims? Could it be due to the m iddle-class im age David Kaczynski presented as a youth shelter social worker vs. the assumptions made about the family of this Mexican national?

So, if you expect to read a column addressing President Clinton’s visit to Phoenix, Russia’s nuclear arsenal, or Campaign 2000, then you better buy to d a y ’s ed itio n o f the New York Times. 1 present you this warning because I’m not going to comment about abortion, the death penalty or welfare. I’m not even going to chastise Juan Gonzales for refusing to play in the All-Star Game. Instead, I thought I'd share with you live things that have mystified me throughout my 21 years on the planet. Maybe you’ll be able to provide answers to some of my questions. Why was Sally at the seashore selling seashells when the things are free? ■ Honestly, what reason can explain Sally’s presence there? Her selling seashells at the beach is about as logical as my sell­ ing matches at a bar. Perhaps, if she sold her shells at a gift shop in Nebraska I would be a little more convinced. But at the beach? Did she sell people sand too? I’m not one to falsely accuse without evidence. Let's just say my intuition leads me to believe that Sally was up to no good on that seashore. Why don't waiters believe me when I tell them I want my meat prepared well-done? It doesn't matter if it’s a cheeseburger or a steak, waiters start acting like prosecuting attorneys arguing their case before a jury when I order something well-done. I know the meat will be dryer and I know it might lose some of its flavor, but damn it, that’s the way I like it! When I give instructions like “butterfly it, cut it into little pieces, do whatever you want as long as there is not a trace of pink” I feel like I’ve done a more than adequate job in explaining how it is I’d like my meat prepared. Unfortunately, many waiters are under the belief that they know what I like more than I do and present me with the perfect steak —•cooked medium-rare. Why would anyone in their right mind have a wedding on a Friday at 5 p.m.? Maybe it would be okay if the ceremony took place in some small town,'or on the Love Boat. But in Phoenix, the sixth largest metropolitan area in the country? Phoenix, a city where the major newspaper features a daily column that doles out traffic advice? A wedding in Phoenix during Friday’s rush hour is just not a good idea unless for some reason, your goal is to increase the amount of Valley road rage. Why is there Braille on drive-through ATMs? I definitely did not think of this question myself, but have yet to hear a legitimate answer that explains it Last time I checked, except for one Super Dave episode, blind people do not drive and therefore, should not be using a drive-through ATM. Why do people refer to it as the “HIV virus” when HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus? Saying “HIV virus” is equivalent to saying the USA of America. Many more things leave my mind in a quandary, but we’H save those for another day. Otherwise, I might not have enough time to make my airline reservation to Vegas.

ASU MU Basement (Free Admission in the Programming Lounge) M l p iS ^ ts faflM d liu n s Maricopa County to make voting easier B y B ecky Michael Sta te P ress Maricopa County voter registration roll sheets will be more accurate for the 2000 elections if a new plan executed by the County Elections Department is suc­ cessful. The $1.386,650 project includes two mass mailings in which form letters would be sent to each registered voter in Maricopa County. The goal is to comply with federal law and verify the residential address of every voter. The National V oter Registration Act requires that each voter must be contacted the year before a presiden­ tial election to make sure that their street address is cor­ rect on the voter registration record, Maricopa County residents who receive this mailing are asked to update any incorrect information, such as nam e, ad d ress and p o litic a l party a ffilia tio n , said P I g f r i e Y vonne R eed o f the M arico p a C o u n ty E le c tio n s Department. If a resident receives a m ailing and no change is needed, the resident may discard the m ailing, said Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell. Depending on the complexity of the change to be made, residents can make them over the phone or by fil­ ing a new voter registration form. Simple spelling mistakes or an apartm ent number change may be co m p leted o v er the phone. Name changes — such as those resulting from marriage — address or political party changes must be corrected by filling out a new voter registration form, Purcell said. After the changes are made voters will receive new voter registration cards in the mail before the Feb. 22 presidential preference election. If a person receives a mailing for someone who no longer lives at that address they are urged to return the o n d mailing to the post office. Another will then be sent out, per federal law, to confirm that the person no longer resides at that address. If .the second m ailing is not returned to the post office and not responded to within 35 days the person's name will automatically be transferred to the inactive address list. Once a voter is placed on the inactive list, future mailings to that address will be discontinued and fewer voting ballots will have to be printed, saving the county an estimated $1.3 million in the next four years. “It’s a great idea to save do this mailing to save the county money,” said Brian Snedeker, an ASU business freshman. “Even though the estimated costs are higher than the savings, the mailing gives voters the opportuni­ ty to update other information that they may have for­ gotten to otherwise.

Future is bleak By Dan Marek State Press Rob nies. Mick, iof a , Fear PNe, tint. P35 Los Angeles 2072 - The world as we know it has come to an end, man is left in decay and is being destroyed by our own byproduct - the machine. The central system of computer networking that thé “system machine'’ created to bring order leaves out one essential variable the machines cannot understand - mankind. Fear Factory's science-fiction concept has flowed from album to album over the past nine years. The “soundtrack to the future” has caught the attention of fans across the metal genre by producing hard hitting sounds while developing some sort of plot for the band. “I give my fans a lot of credit, their very bright and talented,” said Burton C. Bell, lead vocalist “If you listen to Fear Factory you have to have some­ what of a brain, it’s a lot more than the music.” Bell has developed the plot of Fear Factory like a fine tuned machine. His influences span science-fiction novelists like Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. “To write a story like this I had to make sure that I was consistent,” Bell said. ‘T bad to do a lot o f research reading a lot of sci-fi stories. I reread 1984, Brave New World, and Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream o f Electric Sheep T" In fact. Bell wrote the newest addition to the concept on the inside of their new album Obsolete in a screenplay style so they could someday tie the albums together in a movie. “1 wrote it purposely in the form of a rough screenplay. I would hope that it would be easily adapted to film. That would be a dream come true fot us,” Bell said. “We don't necessarily By Dan Marek State P ress photocourtesyofRoadrunnerRecords Christian Olde-W olbers (left), Burton C.

I would like to do it with some film student. But it is something that we want to do in the future - make it a full on Fear Factory concept” Although the band has developed die concept, they have put their movie careers on hold for the road. “Something like that would take a lot of time. We just don’t have the capabilities to do that on the road,” Bell added. Their fourth tour with Ozzfest has heightened their experience with the fans by keeping the show lively and the production small. “The basic idea of the live show is to kick ass and put on a very live show.” Bell said. “So we mix it up and make so the songs flow well together. It’s high-energy, has a good flow, a place where it peaks, then bring it down and up again.” Newcomer to Ozzfest, Static-X said the metal tour works like a well-oiled machine. ‘This is quite possibly the most amazing thing I have seen in my life. Not just the response but everything that goes into it, from what the bands do, down to the techs and production,” said Ken Jay, Drummer for Static-X about Ozzfest. The Chicago-based metal band, on tour promoting their debut CD Wisconsin Death Trip, considers Ozzfest a learn­ ing experience for the band, Jay said. “There are things from each band that you can pick up and learn from. So far, I am so impressed by the attitude from everybody,” Jay added. Ozzfest has gained a reputation for being one of the row­ diest shows of the summer tours. The entourage of fans in the past have created security hassles and health hazards, but according to Jay, there have not been as many problems. “I haven’t come across any attitudes at all except from the people at the venues, you know sometimes you get the secu­ rity guard that is on a power trip,” Jay said. Although the band is one of the freshman acts of the tour, they plan to put on an intense and gratifying show for their fans. “You’ll see more of the same intensity that you get at the live show, just with thousands more people,” Jay said. “There’s not that much production involved because we still want people to know that this is a band. We want people to get familiar with the songs first.” The band is looking forward to coming back to the Valley to keep local fans on their feet and their music in their heads. “ft’s just going to be great to be back there because Arizona has become like a second home to us,” added Jay.

Located at the base of the McDowell mountains, Taliesin West was founded by arguably the greatest architect of the 20th century Frank Lloyd Wright and his third wife Olgivanna in 1937. W ith the encroaching urban spraw l trying to eat away the prime real estate of the S o n o ran d e se rt m o u n ta in sid e , Taliesin West is now a school of archi­ te c tu re and h as b een m ade N a tio n al Historic Landmarks. During a winter visit to modern day Chandler in 1935, Wright purchased the land for the Scottsdale site. The area has since been used for a w inter residence for the growing group o f apprentices and artisans. photo by Tonya Thuringtr Sharp angles and crisp textures have made Taliesin West into a national landmark. Taliesin was built at a time when there were no roads, air conditioning or any of the modem luxuries of current life. Built over the winters of 1937 to 1941, Taliesin was not a luxury hotel of the era. The entire site featuring offices, living quarters, performance halls, design and entertainment rooms was entirely hand built using natural surrounding materials. Using sand and nearby rocks, Wright and his stu­ dents put into motion his desire for organic architecture that strives to be one with the environment. Taking the drive up to tour Taliesin West is an impressive event. Featuring sev­ eral tours during the day and one on Friday nights, there is no better time to visit a world-renowned treasure. The b rilliant su nset featured on the Friday Night Tour is a spectacular experi­ ence. Arriving just at the start of the sunset, visitors to the site are offered a breathtaking view, perched up on the side of a mountain overlooking the sprawling valley below. Seemingly far removed from the hustle and bustle of Phoenix at dusk, the site pro­ vides an almost serene feeling. Every build­ ing, sculpture, and fixture is harmbnious with the surrounding environment. Depending on which tour is taken deter­ mines how in-depth the tour delves into Wright’s world. Regardless of what tour is taken, it is apparent the quality of the work­ manship and the humanity behind it. Hidden away are little details from a fire-breathing dragon sculpture to crystal blue calming fountains and pools. In 1940, W right organized the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to oversee the preservation and of the facility. The founda­ tion runs three areas; an accredited school, working firm, and archives.

JFK Jr disappearance jostles ASU By Jonathan Inge State Press As search crews rake the Atlantic Coast for aircraft debris, the ASU community reflects on the loss of John F. Kennedy, Jr. Milton Glick, senior vice president and provost of ASU, called it a great tragedy. “How much can the (Kennedy) family absorb?” Richard Herrera, an associate professor of political science, said, “Kennedy represented the history of his father and politics of that time, although JFK Jr. himself is not a politican. He conjures up the 1960s and his father's charisma and leadership.” Dan Mulvey, a graduate student in linguistics, said he felt the nation’s mourning for Kennedy was misplaced. “We shouldn't make a big deal out of one person dying while other people are dying and don’t get noticed at all,” Mulvey said.“The guy probably never worked a day in his life. He had a pampered life.” Stephanie Larsen, a journalism sophomore, disagreed. Larsen said, with all the media coverage revolving around the Kennedy’s, she’d come to care about them almost as if they were her own family. “I feel bad because his sister (Caroline) now has no immediate family and his mother-in-law lost two daughters at once,” she said. Some students harbor a fondness for memories of the publisher of George magazine. “With all the fame and power, Kennedy never let it his head. He never forgot the little guy,” said Antonelli, who is applying for graduate school. He had a chance encounter with JFK Jr. while in-line in New York City’s Central Park. “He could have been if he wanted to. He’s the Diana of the United States. It’s a loss our country.” S ales o f G eorge m agazine leaped ov er the w Cam pus C orner in .downtown Tempe sold two o f the copies it keeps on stock.

Chris Desalis. magazine and book buyer for Virgin Megastore at Arizona Mills, said more people have been inquiring about George since the incident. “I can’t say how many we’ve sold so far, but sales will definitely go upon the nCxt issue.” AssociatedPressPhoto John F .

They are the country’s most enduring celebrities - the closest thing, it’s often said, to American royalty. But if the Kennedys of Massachusetts have helped define modem ambition and 20th-century success, they’ve also withstood two generations of televised tears and premature goodbyes. John F. Kennedy Jr.’s disappearance in a small plane off the Atlantic Coast is but the latest in a litany of high-profile misfortunes that have tom apart a family, and often a nation as well. “It’s almost as if there’s some ineffable force that demands that they suffer - and suffer nationally,” said Neal Gabler, a sometime contributor to Kennedy’s George magazine and author of Life: The Movie, which explores the American celebrity and entertainment culture. There was, of course, the excruciating assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The hail of bullets, five years later, that killed the brother who aspired to the same office. The Chappaquiddick accident in 1969 that killed a young woman and virtually ensured that Ted Kennedy would never be president. The list goes on. A Kennedy killed in a World War II plane crash. A Kennedy insti­ tutionalized because of retardation and a failed lobotomy.’A Kennedy accused — and acquitted — of rape. A Kennedy killed while playing football on the ski slopes. Paralysis. Cancer. A fatal drug overdose. On Saturday, members of the Kennedy clan huddled yet again in their Hyannis Port compound, the site of the. famed touch-foot­ ball images of the early 1960s. They had come together for a wedding, but were unit­ ed in uncertainty as boats and planes scoured the waters for three of their own. It has, for America, become a familiar sight - their princes and princesses, hunkered down on a windswept patch of coast, trying to make sense of another loss. People watch, and wonder; for many, it’s an epic soap opera set in a world they could never access. “They occupy a very special place in the celebrity hierarchy,” said Irving J. Rein, a Northwestern University professor who studies how American celebrity is marketed and perceived. “The Kennedy name is almost like a brand; it evokes a series of feelings in us about families, about relationships; about luck and fate and trag ed y ,” he said. “Everybody’s drawn to tragedy when peo­ ple have everything.” But is this level of heartache truly that unusual or just different? “This family has been under a micro­ scope for so long that anything that happens adds to the catalogue of misfortune, and we remember it. But how many beloved rela­ tives go through similar sorts of things with­ out so much public attention?” wonders James F. Smith, a Penn State University professor who studies postwar America. ■ Bessette family, community join in vigil for lost sisters By Denise L avoie A ssociated Press Associated Press Photo C arolyn B essette and husband John F. Kennedy Jr. attend a W hite House dinner In February 1998. GREENWICH, Conn. — The Bessette family enjoyed a relatively quiet life before Carolyn Bessette married into America’s most famous family. Now the Bessettes are in seclu­ sion as they await further word on their two beautiful daughters and their son-in-law — all presumed dead in a plane crash. Friends of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and Lauren Bessette gathered Sunday at a Mass in the town where the young women grew up, offering condolences and memories of women who they say were captivating long before they joined the Kennedy clan. Some said they were praying for a mira­ cle. Others simply prayed for strength — for two families. John F. Kennedy Jr., 38; his wife, Bessette Kennedy, 33; and her sister, Lauren Bessette, 35, have been missing since Friday evening when K ennedy’s plane left Fairfield, N.J., ifor Cape Cod, Mass., for a Kennedy cousin’s wedding. Authorities conceded late Sunday, after two days of searching waters off Martha’s Vineyard, that the three were presumed dead. The Bessette family stayed inside their home Sunday as a steady stream of visitors came and went. Greenwich police stationed cruisers outside the modest cape house and at the end of the private road that leads to it. Carolyn and her twin sisters, Lauren and Lisa, were raised by their mother, Ann Freeman, a teacher and administrator in the New York public schools, and their stepfa­ ther, orthopedic surgeon Richard Freeman. Lauren Bessette, 18 months older than Carolyn, graduated from Greenwich High School in 1982. She worked as an investment banker at Motgan Stanley Dean Witter in New York City; a card from that company bearing her name was found attached to luggage that washed ashore off Maifiia’s Vineyard on Saturday. Bessette Kennedy, 33, married Kennedy in September 1996. By D arlene S uperville A ssociated Press W riter WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats who lost a Senate battle last week over giving patients new rights agaiast health maintenance organizations uttered a few choice words to victorious Republicans: “We'D be back” With an eye on next year’s elections and polls showing the pub­ lic’s desire for such rights, Democrats pledged to keep hammering away at the popular issue. “We will continue this battle and wc will be successful," Sen. Edward Kennedy. D-Mass.. said before the Senate voted 53-47 pas­ sage Thursday of a GOP plan that would give some HMO patients a broad array of new rights. But the GOP plan did not go as far as Democrats and President Clinton had wanted. “We may have a setback tonight but ... we’ll be back to fight and fight again," Kennedy said. Republicans defended the bill as containing a lot of good. “Tonight is a win-win." said Sen. Bill Frist. R-Tenn.. a doctor and leader of the GOP effort. "We’ve made health coverage really better, significantly better." Clinton said the bill was weak and unenforceable and criticized its exclusion of more than 110 million Americans with private health insurance. "If Congress insists on passing such an empty promise to the American people. I will not sign the bill,” he said in a written state­ ment after the vote. The House first must pass its version of the legislation. So far, the House bill has been tied up in committee because of conflicts among Republicans on its scope. The Senate bill offered a number of new rights to 48 million Americans - those covered by federally regulated plans. Among the pro­ visions were easier access to specialists, emergency rooms and obstetricians-gynecologists. In most cases, the rejected Democratic proposals were broader and would have covered more people, such as the more than 100 million people in private plans subject to state regulation. The GOP bill also would require coverage for overnight hospital stays when recommended by a doctor for women undergoing breast H M O M e d ic a re cancer treatment, would give consumers more information about their plans and would permit appeals of denials of coverage for spe­ cific treatment. The legislation also would amend the tax code to make it easier for people to buy health insurance and coverage for long-term care, although the bill did not specify how the new benefits would be paid for. During weeklong debate on the bill, Republicans triumphed on every vote, winning adoption of their more modest proposals over the broad protections favored by Democrats. The Democratic plan, they argued, would lead to higher insur­ ance costs and force millions more Americans to go without cover­ age. Democrats said the GOP effort was a sham that wouldn’t help millions of people frustrated by the penny-pinching practices of HMOs and other managed care plans. GOP Sens. Peter Fitzgerald of Illinois and John Chafee of Rhode Island - two of a handful of Republicans who strayed sever­ al times this week toward Democratic proposals - joined all 45 Democrats in voting against the final product. On the final day of debate Thursday, Republicans continued to defeat Democratic provisions, including one of the most con­ tentious that would have allowed patients claiming they were harmed by a medical decision to take the HMO to court. Health plans covered by federal regulations cannot now be sued. Democrats said it would force insurers to put the health of a patient ahead of the company bottom line. Republicans claimed it was a gift to trial lawyers that would do little else but drive up insurance costs. At least one Republican voiced frustrations over the process. Chafee, a member of a bipartisan group of moderates who assembled an 11 th-hour compromise that was ignored, suggested that nothing will become law. “It seems to me we’ve let down the American people,” he com­ plained. “We’ve got to a s k ourselves could we have done a better job.” : Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., another of the moderates, said the group would continue its work. “This is not the last chapter in this debate.” he said. d e p a r tu r e By L oren W atson S ta te P ress Disabled students at ASU may have a more difficult time getting health care after the first o f the year. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona and several other health insurance companies have said they will stop pro­ viding all HMO Medicare benefits serving the disabled and people over the age of 65 after Jan. 1 because of shrinking government aid. rising costs and the indus­ try ’s uncertain future. The University has one of the largest populations of d isab led students in the nation, according to Tedde Scharf, associate director of Disability Resources for Students. “ At any one time, 1,300 to 1,400 students (with dis­ abilities) are registered with our office.” Seharf-said. Those students enrolled in discontinuing Medicare HMOs, along with about 13.000 Blue Cross Blue Shield members in the Medicare Blue plan, will have to find ’companies still providing Mèdicare HMDs or return to the original, traditional Medicare fee-for-service plan. In the past, members frequently have had to supple­ ment the fee-for-service plan with per-month premium programs because many medical services are not cov­ ered. However, when disabled beneficiaries of HMO M edicare are forced out o f their coverage, they will have fewer options to aid them. Blue Cross Blue Shield only offers supplement plans to people who are 65 or older, said Regena Frieden, public relations manager for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona. Disabled individuals formerly with Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare HMOs will have to find another co m p an y o ffe rin g M ed icare HM O s or e n ro ll in Medicare without a Blue Cross supplemental plan. In the late 1990s, private health insurance organizar stifles d is a b le d tions began to administer Medicare, a government sub­ sidized health insurance program for the elderly and dis­ abled. in the form of managed care. Many of these orga­ nizations are now trying to get out of the field, voicing complaints of declining government reimbursement and rising health care costs. At ASU. all students are eligible for medical care from Student Health Services. Routine visits to ASU doctors are provided for free, but students must pay for lab tests, prescriptions. X -rays, and em ergency and other non-routine services. While ASU’s health plan does not cover prescrip­ tions , the business m anger at S tudent H ealth, Sue Elliott, says they make an effort to keep prices below market levels, and provide need-based assistance to stu­ dents needing psychopharmacological medicine. ASU Health Services provides medical care to the students and then b ills th eir acco u n ts, said L inda Howard, insurance liaison at ASU. She said students are responsible for getting reimbursed by their insurance providers, whether they are Blue Cross Blue Shield or Medicare beneficiaries. . Last year, approximately 47,000 students visited the Student Health Center for medical care. Forty-four per­ cent of those students were enrolled in the health insur­ ance plan offered by ASU. The other 56 percent either had personal insurance provided by Medicare or a pri­ vate health insurance company, or had no insurance at all. ASU h ea lth in su ra n c e is su p p lie d by U n ited H ealthcare through a four-year contract. The service will not be affected by these recent events, Howard said. Students have to pay about $60 per month to be a mem­ ber of the program. According to ASU’s Office of Institutional Analysis, to live with that scar ft life because what was "tioh 5 Yes, I believe ■ eye^ne hasthe right to choose H their owx* ■ provider.

But to her knowledge, Howard said the number of ASU students who are Medicare recipients is not kept on file. Frieden cites dwindling governm ental reim burse­ ment. rising administrative and claims costs and uncer­ tainty about tfie future of Medicare HMOs in the state as reasons for her company’s action. O th e r h e a lth in su ra n c e co m p an ie s th at have announced plans to withdraw from Medicare HMO in Arizona markets include PacifiCare Health Systems, C IG N A , H um ana and F oundation H ealth System s. Aetna and United H ealthcare have been expected to release similar news. Several have echoed Blue Cross’ concerns about declining government reimbursement. Frieden said that her company is actively contacting its HMO Medicare beneficiaries to help them transition to other health care providers. It may be a challenge for disabled beneficiaries to find HMO M edicare program s as so many o f Blue C ross' peers are leaving the field as well. Frieden named PacifiCare and Intergroup as possible alterna­ tives, “big players” in Medicare. Jim Hemauer, program coordinator senior with ASU Student Disability Resources, said a lot of students do use M edicare, but that HMOs in general tend not to serve people with disabilities well. Hemauer said that w ith H M O s, d isa b le d p eo p le u su ally have few er options which he believes lowers quality. “No one wants to provide care for people with chron­ ic illnesses or disabilities because they require more constant care, and that’s expensive,” Scharf said. Stanley Kubrick’s last flick wears out Review By E rin S weeney yQ ^J^yyoyO yQ S t * te P ress l ■ F j^ e T W e S h u ri After two and a half years of production | . , . , , .> 1 veiled in secrecy and media hype, Stanley l j ' * I Kubrick’s final film Eyes Wide Shut delivers W m ^ m UBtoS' r an unforgettable image of doubt and decep- i l f Lf ' ¥ l l a H i I I tion but falls short of expectations. Kubrick, known for films such as Spartacus, The Shining and Full Metal Jacket, died last March only four days after finishing the highly anticipated film. Inspired by the 1926 novel Traumnovelle by Arthur Schhitzler, Eyes Wide Shut pulls the sheet off the subject of sexual desires in a monogamous marriage. Tom Cruise plays Bill Harford, a well-off New York physician with a beautiful wife (Nicole Kidman), daughter and a flawless life. After a Christmas party where both were faced with the temptation of partaking in adulterous acts, they begin to question each other’s loyalty. Becoming dis­ illusioned with his wife, Bill sets out on the streets of New York City to ease his bruised ego and runs into various sexual encounters. Despite the buzz the movie received about its sexual content, the overall sen­ sual feeling between Cruise and Kidman was mild. Even the so-called risqué orgy, which had to be censored in the United States was not all that shocking. Cruise and Kidman, who are married in real life, display fee true intimacy of Bill and Alice’s relationship, but were not exactly challenged by fee roles. Kubrick initially attempts to dig into fee psyche of Bill as he walks the streets of New York. The story begins to steer off track when Bill wanders into fee depths of New York’s elite sexual realm. The focus is shifted from Bill and Alice’s relationship arid almost cheapens the story wife an attempt to infiltrate it wife suspense and melo­ drama. The shift in storyline leaves the audience with too many unan­ swered questions and feeling unfulfilled. Even though fee film lasts over two and half hours and scenes can be extremely sluggish at times, the overall story is disturbing, emotional and distinctly realistic. The theme of fantasy and temptation may be a general notion for many, but Kubrick’s approach at analyzing Bill and Alice’s rela­ tionship is not going to appeal to everyone. STUDENT TRAVEL T h e Wood’ embarks on nostalgic, comedle trip Review By Erin S weeney S tate P ress With an inebriated groom and only hours until the wedding, three friends reflect on their adoles­ cence spent «" i m a n j y . , . Inglew ood, ^ i i f 4 in The Wood. T T heW ood Based on writer I ★ ★ ★ s ta r s (o f 5) I and d irecto r R ick L P a ra m o u n t if Famuyiwa’s childhood m em ories o f ■---- M j x i t x i i i j living in Inglewood during the late 1980s, The Wood is a comedic look at the agony of being a teenager. The story is narrated by Mike (Omar Epps) as he and -his best friend Slim (Richard T. Jones) try to ease their boyhood friend Roland’s A aIAaIA\ (Taye Diggs) prenuptial jitters. Thankfully, Famuyiwa spares fee audience of Epps, Diggs and Jones trying to pull off 13 and 30. The three teenage boys are played by Sean Nelson (Mike), Duane Finley (Slim) and Trent Cameron (Roland). The same chemistry created between the three adults carries over to the younger actors. Thé three teenage boys are able to steal the show from their older counterparts with great style. Nelson pulls off the strongest performance throughout the entire movie and performs some of a teenager’s worst nightmares, such as becoming aroused in front o f class and losing his virginity. Along with the trials o f teenage life, the movie tries to grasp fee look and feel of the late ‘80s through hairstyles, clothing and music. Despite fee flat tops, gold chains and Biz Markie m usic, Fam uyiwa stays away from a cliché 1980s look. Fam uyiwa does succeed at capturing the amusing side of fee boys’ awkward teen years. He highlights some o f basic life ’s comedic moments, like fee boys’ intricate theories about TicTacs and macking, instead of using blatent raunchy humor. Between fee past and present stories the plot starts to get mixed up. The three men’s memo­ ries have little to do with thè present day. Mike’s recollections are dominated mostly by his relationship with his childhood sweetheart and his teenage antics. 921-1938 609 South I w w w .sta tra v el.co m v/ w w j u P la c e s to go!

A SU i C o n jointed twin bands grateful to cover the Dead By T risha C offman S tate P ress Members of Xtra Ticket and the Noodles — two of Arizona’s Grateful Dead cover bands — call themselves “conduits” for the music they play as they bring it live each week to the Valley music scene. Both bands are offshoots of No Hobo, another Grateful Dead cover band that started in the late 1980s. Keeping the spirit of camaraderie that embodied the Grateful Dead and its shows, Xtra Ticket and the Noodles regularly per­ form gigs together and sometimes,trade band members. ; That collaborative style is evident even in the make-up of the bands, particularly the Noodles, who have two drummers - just like the Grateful Dead. The two drummers kind of complement each other,” said Kim Ladd, lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the Noodles. Kevin Higgins, the original drummer for the band, said he wasn’t altogether sure that adding anoth­ er drummer would be a positive thing. “At first, 1 didn’t like it. I said, ‘What the hell is this? How are we going to fit two drums sets on stage?’” Higgins said. “But, it's been over a year now and I love it. It's great.” Lead guitarist John Reuter, drummer Darryl Baker, keyboardist Elliot Rauch and bassist Guy Ivester round out the Noodles, who formed in 1996 and have played every Sunday at the Sail Inn in .Tempe for more than a year. Band members have also come and gone for Xtra Ticket since it got together in 1994, including founder and local legend-among-deadheads Don Young, who recently left the band to pursue other projects: Currently, the band counts six musicians as members: Evan Jones (guitar, vocals), David Hebert (guitar, vocals), Chongo De La Selva (percussion), Chris Ramirez (bass), Charley Gnecco (drums) and Dan Biederman (keyboard). They play at Boston’s every Thursday and, like the Noodles, say they cover Grateful Dead music simply because it has always been an integral part of their lives, and because they think it is worth keeping within the Arizona music scene. “(Grateful Dead music) is what’s inside of us,” said Jones. “The Dead invented this type of playing music, and we just keep doing it.” The two bands strive to walk in the footsteps of the Grateful Dead; recreating their music while at the same time reinterpreting it to fit their own styles. “Either you get it or you don’t, but it’s something cool to emulate,” Hebert said. “There are certain guitar solos that you have to get the nuance o f the whole thing, because it’s the music that takes over where you go” ' f iù ê s M Tonya Thüringer of the State Press Xtra Ticket rolls phat grooves at Boston’s in Tempe. The band often performs with the other Grateful Dead cover band the Noodles. And, the bands say, it’s the music that brings the fans to them. “The fans aren’t coming to see us, they are coming to hear the music,” Ladd said. “They’re coming to hear Jerry Garcia compositions, Robert Hunter compositions, and Bob Weir compositions. That’s a testament to the music we’re playing.” *Irait Smoothies, FreshSqueezedFrait Juice * Nutritional Supplements &EnergyBars * Bagli SiaMes SURF CITY SQUEEZE & vau** f mt litty if theStrini Reerutíml Ceiylu Un - Fri 7:30u - Ipa • Sil tita • 6p AR OCA D M E H O USE Da SI COME jOIN US THIS FALL FOR ASU AND CARDINAL FOOTBALL! • C o m e e a rly fo r F re e P a rk in g w it h m e a l p u rc h a se ! s ta r tin g a t Pool Laundry Microwave Ovens & D ishw ashers Available All the Conveniences • Fo o d & D rin k s p e c ia ls b e fo re & a f t e r th e g a m e !

Although he had his left thumb ban­ daged, his neo-traditional perform ance was breathtaking and boisterous. Playing many of his previous hits and a slew of songs from his latest Come By Me, Connick showed the diversity that sepa­ rates him from the typical Sinatra-style lounge act. The orchestrations during the night showed his personal development through his own renditions of Arthur Hamilton’s “Cry Me A R iver,” Louis A rm strong’s “W hat a W onderful W orld,” and Cole Porter’s “Love for Sale.” “The thing about C ole Porter is his lyrics have the sex iest vibe to them ,” Connick said. “Even if your not (sexy), they just have a way of rolling off o f your tongue.” Connick’s ability to charm the crowd by blowing kisses, winking at girls, and cracking jokes between songs seemed to make the audience more accepting o f the show and its minute imperfections. Although the show mainly featured the big band, Connick also threw in an assort­ ment o f trios and solos that enticed the crowd with his feverish playing and buoy­ -f UM Ìlib Hk. l 1A i l l i v ynMjji I »1 h r I f•J ■ 1 (¡1 ÏÏÏÏ ill fl HiMM nititi ilt •MM 1 ft J H appy H our 4 -7 July Clearance from 2 fo r 1 D r in k s f Free Food Buffet $2 RED STRIPE $3 MALIBU DRINKS FROM 8-11 PM LADIES NIGHT NO COVER FOR LADIES BEFORE lOPM ant rhythms. The trios including drummer Arthur Latin and bassist Ben Wolf were astound­ ing and gave them an opportunity to show the audience their extraordinary ragtime, stomp and traditional training. Connick also took the time to spotlight most of the individuals in his orchestra by giving them plenty of solo time within the songs. “Those guys spent all their lives in the practice room just like me,” Connick said. “I have, in my opinión, thè best band in the world.” The band, sitting behind their silver, space-aged risers, were extrem ely tight and took direction from Connick with the snap of a finger or the simple swing of a hand. During his version o f “It Had to be You,” Connick added comedic relief by plucking strings within the box o f the piano and adding in the A lice Cooper lyrics “Schools Out For Summer.” Cooper h im self attended the show , pointed out by Connick in between songs. “I met Alice Cooper tonight,” Connick said. “I’m kinda tripped out - you come out here thinking you’re a performer, then you meet him. I felt like a 5-year-old girl talkin’ to him.” Above all, Connick was able to capti­ vate the audience with his romanticized lyrics, extraordinary playing abilities and haunting m elodies originating from his New Orleans upbringing. 30-50% off Red Tags Buy Any T-Shirt or Shorts Get the Second at 1/2 off!
