Editorial: Beacon of light

The pursuit of knowledge and learning is 
a noble task. 
Yet when it is directed to help improve not 
only oneself, but 
one's community, it truly shines.
	In a society driven more and more to 
self-
centeredness, the example of a group of 
English 102 students 
- and ASU - is a beacon to us all.
	Everyone is required to take the regular 
battery of 
ENG 101 and 102 to graduate. But some 
students are using 
the class not only to work toward their 
college degree, but to 
ensure that a future generation will have the 
inspiration to 
work toward that same goal.
	The program - the Service Learning 
Project - combines 
a regular section of ENG 102 with an 
internship. Three times 
a week, students attend a lecture much like 
in any other 
section of the class.
	But twice a week, three hours a day, 
these students do 
something that most English students do not 
do.
	Instead of spending this time in a 
library researching, 
as most English students do, this group of 
students heads out 
into the community to tutor "at-risk" 
children - children who 
are having difficulty learning in the 
traditional classroom 
setting.
	Nowadays, such a child too often falls 
between the 
cracks because no one has the time or the 
motivation to enter 
the child's life and influence it for the 
better.
	Society marches on, and these children 
get left behind. 
And then, a decade later, we will shake our 
heads, wondering 
why crime, drug use, and poverty is so 
rampant.
	A child with no hope faces a very big 
risk of slipping 
into this cycle. This group of ASU students 
is determined not 
to let that happen.
	In fulfilling their internship, these 
students are 
learning lessons that many people never 
learn, neither in nor 
out of a university.
	They are learning the sheer joy of 
helping another 
human being - to reach down into the dark 
abyss of 
hopelessness, and pull up a child desperate 
for a positive role 
model.
	They are learning that education does 
not end with 
only one person - it can go on to illuminate 
not only the life of 
the student, but those that he or she come 
into contact with.
	And, perhaps most importantly they are 
learning that 
they can make a difference, even if only one 
life at a time - 
taking a young mind and showing it the pride 
that comes 
with education.
	It does raise some interesting 
questions. What exactly 
is the value of a college education?
	Most of us are in this just to get a 
diploma, a ticket to a 
higher paying job. Most ENG 102 students are 
in the class 
merely to fulfill a graduation requirement.
	But long after we have forgotten 
Shakespeare, verb 
conjugations, algebraic formulas and the 
symbol for 
plutonium, the students in this program will 
carry the 
memory of the difference they made. Their 
class was not just 
a check mark on a course sheet - it was a 
life experience, the 
kind which every college student should have.
	It is a noble undertaking, one that more 
ASU students 
should be given the opportunity to do.
	To these students and to the program 
administrators, 
we can only offer our unreserved admiration.
	You are not only role models to these 
children, but to 
all of us.

Column: Latino, not Hispanic, if you please

Enrique Chaurand
Guest Columnist
	Welcome back to another year at ASU. 
Summer is still 
here, but to many of us it has come and gone. 
	I'd like to start off my first column by 
introducing 
myself. My name is Enrique A. Chaurand and I 
am a senior 
journalism major. I hail from the Midwest - 
Kansas City, MO. 
Yes, there are Latinos, even in Kansas City. 
	As a Latino stepping onto the ASU campus 
for the first 
time last year, I was proud to see so many 
other Latino 
students and faculty. I must admit that after 
seeing such a 
gathering of diverse races here, I felt ASU 
was doing a 
superior job in recruiting minority students.
	But as time went on, I began to realize 
how naive I was 
- though that's a whole other issue to be 
written about later.
	In reading the State Press last 
semester, I was 
disturbed to see that very few minorities 
were represented on 
the editorial pages. As a weekly columnist I 
want to bring a 
different perspective and look to the 
editorial staff of the State 
Press. This year's staff is more diverse in 
race and sex. 
	Having been a minority all of my life, 
issues like racial 
harmony and diversity seem to be somewhat of 
a focal point 
for me. With California passing Proposition 
187 and 
affirmative action on the bubble, it is my 
opinion that we may 
never see or experience racial harmony in our 
lifetime. But 
my hope is that maybe I can shed some light 
to some of the 
concerns and opinions we have. 
	I know there are a whole hell of a lot 
of racist, or 
maybe I should say ignorant, people out there 
who may not 
want to hear the flip side - last year's 
letters to the editor 
proved it. I don't know how many misinformed 
people wrote 
in about how affirmative action was taking 
their jobs away 
from them, how we have no need for quotas, 
etc. 
	Too many times minority students have 
had little or 
no say in campus issues and the structure of 
ASU's programs. 
I plan to voice our concerns (well, at least 
mine) to the 
campus and our administrators.
	You may now be asking yourself, "What 
makes you an 
authority on minority issues? And who died 
and left you the 
torch to keep burning?" 
	Well, you've got me there. I'm no expert 
on minority 
issues, nor did anyone leave me a title to 
announce that I am 
the official authority on what all minorities 
should adhere by. 
I do feel that since I am a minority and 
there are certain 
collegiate and governmental programs set up 
just for people 
of my race that I have taken advantage of, I 
have some 
working knowledge of what we are feeling. 
	I would just like to leave you with a 
few more 
statements that I feel I must get off my 
chest. By the year 
2000, the Latino population will be the 
largest minority 
population in the United States. So why try 
and fight reality? 
Just go with the flow. 
	Secondly, most Latinos do not like to be 
referred to as 
Hispanic.  The word Hispanic was given to us 
by the U.S. 
government. I don't know why they decided to 
lump us all 
together as one group, when in reality we are 
all very 
different in our respective cultures. I am 
specifically Mexican-
American, though I feel a connection with all 
the other 
different Latino cultures here and abroad.
	So if you're wondering what to call us, 
just ask us. It's 
usually by our first name.

Column: Whittaker affair illustrates military racism

Les Payne
Columnist
	In the early stages of the White House 
review of 
affirmative action, researchers noticed with 
some glee that 
the one career that had ascended to the very 
summit was 
military service. I first heard this breast-
beating from a 
ranking staff member on the president's 
committee at a White 
House correspondents' dinner last spring. I 
was, quite 
frankly, appalled, and said as much.
	An administration headed by a Commander-
in-Chief 
who had avoided the draft had no right to 
gloat about an 
equal-opportunity war machine. Military 
service, with or 
without a draft, is, at bottom, an obligation 
of citizenship.
	Affirmative action was supposedly 
intended to 
improve blacks' access to the  benefits of 
citizenship: fair 
housing, peacetime jobs, education and an 
equal shot at 
promotions, scholarships, government 
contracts, etc..
	Equality in the foxhole has long been a 
battlefield 
boast of the military. However, the society 
that permits this 
empty - and inaccurate - gloat continues to 
make it doubly 
difficult for black youth to find jobs. 
Offering colored boys 
and girls an equal shot at dying abroad for 
liberties they do 
not fully enjoy at home is a national 
cynicism.
	Even the claim of equality on the 
battlefield, especially 
within the officers' ranks, is a recent and 
still questionable 
conclusion. President Bill Clinton recently 
discovered just 
how deep are the roots of racism in the U.S. 
military.
	In one of the strangest commissions ever 
granted, the 
president, acting on a request of Congress, 
awarded the gold 
bars of a second lieutenant to the 
granddaughter of Johnson 
C. Whittaker, 64 years after his death.
	Born into slavery in 1858, Whittaker was 
appointed to 
West Point in 1876. In a pattern that 
continued well into this 
century, the white cadets severely ostracized 
young 
Whittaker and shut him totally out of campus 
life. They 
spoke to him only when barking orders.
	As a victim of this silent treatment, 
the black cadet was 
a forerunner of Gen. Benjamin O. Davis Jr., 
who endured four 
years of such harassment at the hands of his 
1936 West Point 
classmates, including William C. 
Westmoreland, Creighton 
Abrams and other such equal-opportunity 
commanders.
	On April 5, 1880, three masked men 
entered 
Whittaker's dormitory, dragged him out of 
bed, slashed his 
ears with a razor, cut off his hair and left 
him tied to his bed 
and unconscious. For good measure, the 
attackers scattered 
burned pages from his Bible about the floor.
	He identified three fellow cadets as his 
attackers but, 
then as now, the word of a black man was not 
sufficient to 
convict a white. Academy officials charged 
that the victim 
had miraculously assaulted himself and tied 
himself up 
because he expected to fail a philosophy 
course and be 
expelled. Whittaker, himself, was court-
martialed and 
expelled. Although President Chester Arthur 
overturned the 
verdict two years later, the academy 
officials refused to 
reinstate the black cadet.
	As determined as any officer who 
graduated from 
West Point, Whittaker returned to South 
Carolina, earned a 
law degree, taught school and lectured in 
psychology at the 
trade school in Orangeburg that became South 
Carolina State 
University.
	In awarding the posthumous commission, 
Clinton 
presented Whittaker's granddaughter the Bible 
with the torn 
leaves seized as evidence and held for a 
century in the 
National Archives, where Clinton gave his 
affirmative-action 
speech.
	The shameful Whittaker affair spoke 
volumes about 
the brutal racism in the history of West 
Point, the officer 
corps and thus the military. As this West 
Point case 
demonstrates, without affirmative action, the 
military - and 
indeed society at large  - is not a system of 
meritocracy but 
one of brutal white privilege.

Column: American dream a farce, not reality

Betty Mihalopoulos
Columnist
	Welcome to my column. My name is Betty 
Mihalopoulos and I am a senior majoring in 
print journalism. 
I transferred to ASU from the University of 
Maryland in 1993 
and last spring semester I covered the 
cultural diversity beat 
for the State Press. It was a valuable 
learning experience but I 
think it's important for every future 
journalist to take his or 
her knocks as an opinion columnist. 
	I do not consider myself liberal, 
conservative, a 
Democrat or a Republican. As a columnist for 
the State Press, 
I will take only one position - Betty's.
	It is true that I am reaping the obvious 
benefits as a 
resident of the United States of America but 
that does not 
mean that I have to love it or leave it, as 
those who cling to 
the belief there is hope for the ever-
festering American 
Dream so smugly say.
	I am aware of my advantages as a citizen 
and I don't 
need to be reminded there are people in other 
countries who 
live in constant fear of terrorist attacks, 
military bombings 
and gunfire in their streets. Loyal patriots 
are quick to pounce 
on this fact as they try to inflict guilt on 
those who might find 
fault with the United States government, its 
policies or its 
Constitution.
	My response to this is - what's the 
difference? If you're 
unlucky enough to be hanging out at the water 
cooler when 
the disgruntled worker starts spraying 
bullets from an AK 
assault rifle, then you'd realize there 
really isn't a difference 
at all. Americans have always thought 
themselves to be more 
civilized than other human beings but 
"believing it don't 
necessarily make it so."
	This isn't whining pessimism. It's 
reality.
	The day the pilgrims came to America was 
the day the 
historical half-truths began about how this 
country was built, 
maintained and formed. We're taught to commit 
these half-
truths to memory through the tests given in 
history class that 
romanticized the way this country was born. 
	Those of us who were hungry enough to 
seek more 
than what has been spoon fed to us through 
the biased 
history books cannot be taken in by these 
idealized, heroic 
images of America.
	Politicians are merely glorified 
salesmen, and I do not 
trust my destiny in their hands. They want to 
censor music, 
television, books and anything else that 
might portray 
America for what it really is - a country 
plagued with, among 
other sicknesses, drugs, child molesters, 
greed and apathetic, 
gun-slinging teenagers with nothing to lose.
	They can't solve the real problems so 
they attack what 
they have convinced many to believe are the 
sources of the 
problems. They don't really believe that any 
amount of 
wholesome TV or warm, fuzzy music can change 
the course 
of a country heading for disaster, but they 
give hope to those 
who prefer ignorance over truth.
	The deviancy, poverty and madness eating 
up our 
society was spawned by the very people who 
intend to make 
us all suffer for the acts of the monsters 
they created. We 
have the politicians, the religious right 
(not a criticism of 
religious choice but a fact) and all the 
others who have pulled 
the wool over their eyes and ours, to thank 
for it all. 
	The disease is no longer dormant, and 
it's spreading 
out of control while many are too busy 
feeling superior to 
talk show guests to recognize its effects. 
Some of us were not 
shocked by the bombing in the so-called 
heartland and we 
won't be shocked by the next reality check 
either.
	I am awaiting the events that will 
follow the 1996 
presidential elections. The political changes 
are inevitable if 
certain people get into office, and those who 
will suffer the 
hardest blows had better prepare themselves 
by converting 
their anger into organization and higher 
thinking. For 
instance, the L.A. rioters had fun for as 
long as the outburst 
lasted but when the rampage was over, they 
went back, 
defeated, to the same lives they lived before 
the anger took 
hold. In the meantime, stereotypes attributed 
to certain ethnic 
groups were reinforced by the media.
	I hope I gave a good idea of my 
perspective and what 
you can expect from me as a columnist. 
Columns are 
opinions of the writer, of course, but I plan 
to utilize 
documented information, professors and 
experts on and off 
campus as sources. I don't propose to be able 
to change the 
United States of America anymore than our 
elected officials 
beyond their empty promises, but it's my 
constitutional right 
to go down kicking and screaming all the way. 
If I happen to 
enlighten a few others, then I've done the 
best I can. 

Pristine Christine

Senior Garner battles back to assume 
leadership role for Sun 
Devils

By Dawn J. Wagner
State Press
	After training nonstop for five months 
as a full-time 
member of the U.S. Olympic National 
Volleyball team, 
Christine Garner was in prime volleyball 
shape. 
	But the senior outside hitter almost 
didn't make it to 
the start of  this year's ASU season.
	Garner's Toyota Forerunner was 
sideswiped late this 
summer, flipping over and throwing her 
through the 
windshield.
	She landed in the emergency room.
	"During the accident I was thinking, 
'This can't be 
happening to me,'" she said. "I wasn't 
wearing my seat belt 
and I flew through the window.
	"I remember sliding across the asphalt 
on my back and 
my truck was sliding along next to me. I was 
just praying that 
my truck didn't flip over and crush me."
	Garner escaped any serious volleyball 
injuries but had 
multiple bruises, stitches and a serious case 
of road rash on 
her back.
	Although she is fully recovered, Sun 
Devil coach Patti 
Snyder said Garner was adversely affected by 
the incident.
	"She was strong as an ox when she 
finished with the 
national team and then she got in an 
accident,"  Snyder said.  
"It was too bad because she had to take a 
step back after 
taking about 10 good steps forward."
	But it didn't derail Garner for long.
	She said she will still be able to rely 
on the experience 
gained last spring with the national team.
	"It has added to my all-around 
competition," Garner 
said. "I've become a much better passer and 
I've learned more 
shots."
	Combining her newly improved skills with 
her team-
leading statistics in kills (477) and service 
aces (42), Garner's 
teammates expect her to be the muscle behind 
the Sun Devils 
this year.
	"She's extremely strong," teammate Tracy 
Heflin said. 
"(With the National team) she's gained a real 
steadiness and a 
mature approach to the game. She definitely 
has the most 
experience."
	Garner's experience will have to play a 
significant part 
for ASU this season. After losing two of the 
Sun Devils' top 
players, Leanne Schuster and Tiffanie 
Johnson-Gates, Garner 
will be relied upon for leadership and 
stability.
	"We need passing stability, defense, 
hitting and 
emotional stability from Christine," Snyder 
said. "She's 
known for power, not for consistency, but she 
can do it.
	"Her game will stabilize with 
confidence, and she got a 
lot of that this spring."
	Garner said the Olympic-level 
competition has given 
her confidence a boost heading into this 
season. This year 
might actually be a breather from the 
rigorous training and 
competition.
	"It was like going from the high school 
level to the 
college level," she said. "There, everyone 
you play with is a 
quali-top athlete and everyone you play 
against is a quali-top 
athlete.
	"I'm definitely looking forward to the 
season because it 
is not going to be quite as hard."
	Garner is also ready to accept the role 
as a leader this 
season but is confident the Sun Devils will 
do well no matter 
what.
	"As a player I think a lot of 
responsibility will be on 
me," she said. "But I feel the players we 
have now have really 
improved and they will be able to pick up the 
slack without a 
problem."

Sun Devil swimmers ready to take season plunge

By Lisa Eskey
State Press
Fresh off of a stellar recruiting season, the 
ASU men's swim 
team is hoping the right combination of youth 
and experience 
will spell a season of successes.
Senior Felipe Delgado, who is an All-American 
in the 50 
freestyle, just competed in the Pan Pacific 
Championships at 
the Olympic Pool in Atlanta, Ga., where he 
finished fifth in 
the 50-yard freestyle and 16th in the 100 
free. Junior freestyler 
Michael Melley is currently in Japan 
competing in the World 
University Games.
"We have an exceptional recruiting class this 
year," Coach 
Ernie Maglischo said. "There are 24 new 
recruits, including 
six high school All-Americans."
A host of freshmen are joining the team this 
year including 
Patrick Maynard, a freshman from Columbus, 
Ohio, who was 
ranked third nationally in the 100 butterfly; 
Thomas Hansen, 
a Norwegian who is ranked as one of the top 
50 in the world 
in the 400 free; Richard Morris, who placed 
third overall in 
the National Championships in his home 
country of England; 
and Panagiotis Lagopatis, the 100 butterfly 
National 
Champion from Greece.
Seniors Nelson Vargas, who competed in the 
1994 World 
Championships in Rome for his home country of 
Mexico, and 
Robert Smith, are also returning All-
Americans.
The team placed 14th in the NCAA 
Championships last year, 
but lost Richard Bera and Eduardo Piccinini, 
two of its top 
swimmers, to graduation. 
Maglischo's goal this season is to try to 
maintain the team's 
status nationally, but he believes he is 
still one recruiting class 
away from having a team that will place in 
the top 10 
nationally.
"It will take quite a bit of improvement to 
keep our place, but 
we do have lots of talented swimmers," 
Maglischo said.
Maynard agreed.
"We hope we can improve on last year's 
standing," he said. 
"We definitely have some people that will 
make an impact on 
this squad."
Logi Kristjansson, a senior backstroker, said 
the team needs 
to focus on making the most of their dual 
meets and 
improving on its times before the Pac-10 
Championships in 
November. 
"The newcomers will have to prove themselves 
before we get 
to the big meets and the senior swimmers will 
need to 
concentrate on improving their times," he 
said. " If we all 
work together, I think we can improve on our 
times."
Although the season won't officially start 
until an intersquad 
meet on Oct. 14, many of the foreign swimmers 
are already 
looking ahead to their respectful national 
championships and 
even to the Olympics. Kristjansson is 
training in hopes of 
representing Iceland next year. 
"Nobody has forgotten this is an Olympic 
year," Kristjansson 
said. "I'm about one second off from 
qualifying for my 
country in the 100-meter backstroke. There 
are also many 
American swimmers on the team looking forward 
to the 
National and Olympic trials." 
"They are working hard," Maglischo added,  
"and although it 
may be a long shot for most of them, they all 
have high hopes 
for these meets."

Middle of the 'Pac' anything but mediocre

By Damian Shaw
State Press
	This the third in a series of Pac-10 
football previews.
	The players on the Washington and Oregon 
football 
teams both find themselves in unfamiliar 
territory this year in 
the Pac-10. Washington is finally allowed to 
go to the Rose 
Bowl and Oregon is just coming back from the 
Rose Bowl, a 
feat it had not accomplished in 37 years. 
UofA, despite 
returning almost everybody on defense, is 
expected to only 
finish in the middle of the division, while 
California is 
looking to improve on last year's mediocre 
fifth-place finish. 
Here's an in-depth look at the teams as 
picked to finish in the 
division by the West Coast media. 
	3. Washington
	Washington opens its first season in two 
years in 
which it is not under bowl suspension. Coach 
Jim Lambright 
took over the Huskies from Don James and went 
7-4 both 
years during the probation, but with the team 
now eligible to 
reach the Rose Bowl again, it has a much 
brighter outlook this 
year. 
	"It's been a hard two years to go 
through," Lambright 
said. "I think the challenge for our program 
is now to see how 
fast we can get it back to the level that Don 
James had it at. 
It's like a cloud has been lifted and now we 
can go on and get 
on with our goals."
	Lambright will have a lot of help on 
both sides of the 
ball. The Husky defense packs a one-two punch 
of juniors 
Lawyer Milloy, a free safety, and inside 
linebacker Ink 
Aleaga, both of whom are preseason All-
Americans. Milloy 
led the team with 106 tackles last season and 
Aleaga stopped 
96. On offense, senior third-year starting 
quarterback Damon 
Huard will guide the team again. Huard had 
1,887 yards 
passing last season. Senior Richard Thomas 
will look to fill 
the gaping hole left by the departure of 
Napoleon Kaufman. 
Although Thomas is a fullback and not a 
tailback, he will still 
carry a greater burden for the Washington 
offense. 
	Analysis: With a carrot to run after 
this year and a soft 
schedule at the beginning of the season, the 
Huskies could 
surprise everyone but themselves and wind up 
with roses on 
their shoulders come January. 
4. Oregon
	The defending Pac-10 champions have kept 
a good 
core of their Rose Bowl team, but they will 
have to weather 
the losses of former coach Rich Brooks and 
four-year starting 
quarterback Danny O'Neil. Sophomore Tony 
Graziani will 
try to pick up the slack where O'Neil left 
off and senior 
running back Ricky Whittle should take some 
of the pressure 
off with his performance.
	Offensive coordinator Mike Bellotti has 
taken the 
reigns following Brooks' departure for the 
NFL. He thinks the 
Rose Bowl loss will provide a motivating 
factor for the 
Ducks.
	"The Rose Bowl left a good and bad 
taste. It was great 
to be there," Bellotti said, "But not winning 
the game and 
playing less than we were capable provided 
the inspiration 
for our off-season and spring workouts."
	Analysis: The Ducks have talent, but 
their new 
leadership will have to step up if they want 
to defend their 
title. 
	5. UofA
	UofA has been tabbed by the Associated 
Press 
preseason poll to finish 19th in the nation, 
while the media on 
the West Coast has them entrenched in the 
middle of the Pac-
10. For the last three years UofA's defense 
has been in the top 
10 in the nation statistically, and this year 
appears to be no 
different with consensus All-American and 
Lombardi Trophy 
finalist Tedy Bruschi leading the Wildcats. 
The senior 
defensive end recorded 10 sacks and four 
fumble recoveries 
last year. Senior Chuck Osborne and junior 
Joe Salave'a will 
also add to the defensive fortitude at the 
tackle spots. 
	On the other side of the ball, the 
Wildcats will be 
without tailback Ontiwaun Carter and every 
offensive 
lineman who started last year. However, the 
replacements 
have the luxury of a third-year starter in 
senior quarterback 
Dan White. Another senior, Richard Dice, will 
provide a 
tough and fast target for White at the 
receiver position. Dice 
had 56 catches for 969 yards and eight 
touchdowns last year. 
	"Overall, our biggest job will be 
getting the offensive 
line to gel once we begin to play in the 
fall," Tomey said. 
	Analysis: If UofA does get its line on 
track, it will 
probably surprise some Pac-10 teams, if not 
the West Coast 
media, and could possibly make a run for the 
Roses and 
break its Pac-10 championship drought. 
	6. California
	The Bears, who finished tied for fifth 
in the Pac-10 last 
season, will be looking forward to a new 
grass field and a 
healthy quarterback in junior Pat Barnes, who 
took over for 
an injured Dave Barr midway through last 
year's season. 
Barnes should receive good protection from a 
front line full of 
depth. He also has a good target in Iheaanyi 
Uwaezuoke, the 
Nigerian-born, spell checker's nightmare. In 
a division full of 
talented defensive ends, Regan Upshaw is 
another preseason 
All-American who helps make up what could be 
one of the 
best defensive lines in the country. 
 Analysis: With only Oregon returning more 
starters than the 
Bears, Cal will need to utilize its maturity 
to be better than 
mediocre. A soft schedule is the Bears' best 
advantage in a 
tough division.
