Percent of Super Bowl profits to create Tempe youth center

By Angela Mull
State Press
	The players can rest when the fourth 
quarter of Super 
Bowl XXX ends, but the Host Committee will 
still have a few 
plays left to execute.
	One critical play is working with the 
National Football 
League to create an Arizona NFL Youth 
Education Town 
Center. One million dollars of Super Bowl 
XXX's projected 
revenues of $170 million will go toward 
constructing and 
staffing the center, and whoever receives the 
bid to run the 
center will match the $1 million, said 
Carlette Hower, a 
business development manager with the Super 
Bowl Host 
Committee. 
	Shirley Allen, director of the NFL Youth 
Education 
Town Center in Compton, Calif., said the 
center offers young 
people many opportunities to get involved in 
something 
positive in the community. She added she is 
glad the NFL is 
creating the center, which will be the third 
in the country. 
	"A lot of people talk about giving back 
to the 
community, but you rarely see an organization 
that does give 
back," she said, adding that some members of 
her youth 
center are opening up "The NFL Chill Zone," a 
store that will 
sell NFL-licensed clothing.
	The NFL requires the Super Bowl Host 
Committee to 
set funds aside for the youth centers, mainly 
from the NFL 
Experience and the NFL Charities Golf 
Tournament, Hower 
said. 
	In addition to the youth center, various 
Arizona 
charities will receive money from the Arizona 
Super Bowl 
Charities Foundation. The foundation was 
created to 
maximize the charity dollars and to ensure 
that the bulk of 
these dollars remains in the state, said Joe 
Rhein, a consultant 
for the foundation.
	"The goal is to demonstrate that the 
playing of the 
game is going to impact as many different 
parts of the state as 
possible, and one of those is definitely the 
charity area," he 
said. 
	The Charities Foundation and events' 
promoters will 
not choose the charities until February or 
March, Rhein said. 
The Host Committee is currently completing a 
formal 
application form for the charities to be 
distributed within the 
next few weeks.
	Rhein said he cannot project how much of 
the Super 
Bowl's net proceeds will go toward charities 
because 
guidelines are still being formed. He added 
that he will have 
a better idea closer to game day. 
	The foundation's money will come from 
sanctioned 
events and the Host Committee's remaining 
budget after 
expenses are paid, Rhein said. Sanctioned 
events are ongoing, 
such as the NFL Experience, or one-time, like 
Tempe's Super 
Bowl Block Party. The foundation will collect 
about 50 
percent of the net proceeds from the one-time 
events and a 
lesser, undetermined percentage from the 
ongoing events, he 
said. 
	"It's going to be a major benefit to the 
charities that are 
able to get grants," he said. "Everyone, 
whether it's the host 
committee or the people in the state, can 
take pride in it."
	Hower said the foundation is a wonderful 
way to add 
funding to the community.
	"It's funding that never would have been 
here if it 
wasn't for the Super Bowl," she said.

Student leaders push to publish prof evaluations

By Kim Watson
State Press
	ASU officials and student leaders are 
joining in a 
concerted movement to publish teacher 
evaluations - a move 
that they say would allow students to get 
more for their 
tuition dollar.
	Paul Allvin, executive director for 
Associated Students 
of Arizona, said the debate over whether or 
not to publish the 
assessments has been going on for several 
years, but that this 
is the first time student leaders from all 
three state 
universities are working together in a 
concerted effort.
	"The arguments against publishing the 
evaluations are 
that they are not scientific and that it will 
be a popularity 
contest," he said. "Faculty are afraid that 
easy professors will 
get good evaluations and tough professors 
will get low 
ratings."
	Students are given the opportunity at 
the end of each 
semester to evaluate the instructors' 
preparation for class, 
knowledge of the subjects taught, whether or 
not the syllabus 
was followed and usefulness of the textbook.
	Allvin said publishing the results is a 
simple request 
by students so they can decide which 
instructor they want 
before enrolling in a class.
	ASU President Lattie Coor said he 
believes the 
evaluations should be available and that he 
has respect for 
students' ability to determine if they are 
getting a good 
education. 
	"Our position is if the University 
trusts students to do 
the evaluations in the first place, then why 
not allow them to 
be published," he said.
	Allvin said the issue is only in the 
planning stages at 
this point. A student committee will be 
established once 
school gets underway to investigate how other 
states handle 
publishing the evaluations, he said.
	He added that one method might be to 
provide 
evaluation results in the class bulletin or 
have them readily 
available to look up.
	Provost Milton Glick said the Academic 
Senate will 
debate the issue and privacy concerns will 
have to be 
resolved, but he believes it is a good way 
for students to learn 
more about instructors and get more out of a 
class. 
	"Those against (publishing students' 
evaluations) say if 
only one student is quoted, then the 
evaluation won't be 
valid," Glick said. "We are trying to move 
towards a portfolio 
evaluation that will include ... a holistic 
view of a professor's 
teaching."

Moon Buggy Team takes off-road vehicle to unearthly dimension

By Kelly Wendel
State Press
	The ASU Moon Buggy Team is designing the 
ultimate 
off-road vehicle - one able to traverse the 
moon more than 
230,000 miles away from the nearest road.
	The team is currently gearing up for the 
Third Annual 
Moon Buggy Race this spring at NASA's 
Marshall Space 
Flight in Huntsville, Ala., and is looking 
for students 
interested in designing and building the next 
entry for the 
competition.
	Last year's entry finished sixth in the 
competition, 
despite a tight design and production 
schedule. 
	"The team had very little time - four 
months - to do 
the whole thing, and I think the kids did an 
outstanding job," 
said Helen Reed, director of the Aerospace 
Research Center 
at ASU.
	ASU's entry was the only three-wheeled 
entry in the 
event, which consisted of twelve teams from 
schools such as 
Texas A&M and the Georgia Institute of 
Technology. Other 
schools used a more conventional four-wheel 
design in the 
race.
	All entries in the race were human 
powered, 
primarily to keep expenses down and enable 
colleges to 
compete in the event. The 1.5 mile race 
subjected the teams' 
vehicles to a variety of  track conditions, 
from simulated lava 
and ridges to crevasses and crater rims.
	"We are trying to get an early start on 
it this year to 
make sure we are going to have something that 
will win the 
competition this year," said Craig Haglin, a 
zone sales 
manager for Isuzu Motors.
	Isuzu Motors, along with Biddulph Isuzu, 
is 
sponsoring and providing funding for the ASU 
team. 
	"This competition gives students an 
opportunity to  
put their skills to work as members of a team 
by designing, 
constructing, testing and competing an 
original-design 
vehicle that meets predetermined 
specifications," said Dr. 
Frank Six, the moon buggy competition 
coordinator at the 
Marshall Center.

Student accuses DPS of police brutality

Claims officer threatened to 'kick (his) ass'

By Greg Zemeida
State Press
	An ASU student arrested for disorderly 
conduct 
earlier this month claims ASU police officers 
used excessive 
force in his arrest.
	Michael McVerry, a junior exercise 
science major, said 
ASU Department of Public Safety officers 
threw him to the 
ground and slammed his head into the trunk of 
their patrol 
car Aug. 20, injuring his jaw and leaving 
bruises on his head 
and left arm. He also said one officer 
threatened to "kick (his) 
ass."
	ASU Chief of Police Lanny Standridge 
said he was 
unaware of the alleged incident, but said he 
would look into 
the matter. He would not speculate about the 
allegations. 
	"There are two sides to every story," he 
said. "I take 
complaints against officers very seriously. 
	"There's (either) a misunderstanding or 
something is 
wrong; that's the way I look at it."
	Police will not release the report on 
the incident 
because it is under investigation.
	The incident occurred at about 1 a.m., 
McVerry said.
	McVerry and two roommates were getting a 
ride 
home from an acquaintance after watching the 
Tyson-
McNeely boxing match at a friend's house. 
Near the 
intersection of McAllister Avenue and Lemon 
Street, ASU 
police pulled the car over for failure to 
stop at a stop sign.
	McVerry said he and his roommates, ASU 
students 
Dan Pandaru and Dave Palmer, were told to get 
out of the 
car, then frisked and told to sit down on the 
grass. During 
this time, the car's driver was arrested on 
an outstanding 
warrant for possession of marijuana.
	After sitting down, McVerry said he 
discovered that 
the grass was wet, and stood back up. He said 
police told him 
to sit back down, but he refused, saying he 
didn't want to get 
wet.
	"I put my hands behind my head and 
(said) I just want 
to stand here like this," McVerry said. "The 
ground was wet."
	One officer came over to him and tried 
to trip him, he 
said, adding that he didn't resist, but tried 
to keep his balance 
and stay up.
	"Then about four of them were on top of 
me," he said. 
"They banged my head into the ground and 
twisted my arm 
back.
	"One of the officers handcuffed me, 
picked me up, 
dragged me over to his patrol car and smashed 
my head into 
the trunk of the car."
	McVerry said the arresting officer then 
spoke to him.
	"He said something like 'We'll take you 
down' or 'We 
can take you somewhere and kick your ass.' 
His exact words 
were 'kick your ass,' " he said.
	McVerry was arrested, cited and released 
for 
disorderly conduct.
	During the entire arrest, McVerry said 
he put up no 
resistance to police.
	"I would never retaliate against an 
officer," he said. "I 
know that would be foolish."
	Both Pandaru and Palmer said they didn't 
hear what 
the officer said to McVerry, but they back up 
the rest of his 
story.
	 "He wasn't being violent in any way," 
said Pandaru, a 
senior exercise science major. "You don't 
need four guys to 
hold someone who's not resisting."
	In addition, he said while officers had 
McVerry down, 
they punched him in the head and stomach.
	"After that, I got really verbal," 
Pandaru said. "I was 
like, 'Oh my God, I just saw police 
brutality. I can't believe 
what I just saw. I just witnessed you beat up 
my friend.' "
	Pandaru said he asked one of the 
officers why they 
were being so violent with McVerry and was 
told that they 
didn't mean to hit him in the head, but were 
just going for 
pressure points.
	He said he then asked the officer if the 
head and 
stomach were pressure points.
	"He was like, 'No, no, but sometimes we 
miss,' " 
Pandaru said.
	He also said an officer told him that 
police were "a 
little on edge" after learning about the 
shooting death of 
Arizona DPS officer Bob Martin.
	Palmer also said that McVerry didn't put 
up any sort 
of a struggle with police. He said he saw 
police hit McVerry 
in the head, but he didn't see the stomach 
blow.
	"They hog-tied him, handcuffed him and 
put him in 
the back seat (of the police car)," Palmer 
said.
	Standridge said he could not say if 
excessive force was 
used unless he was there. He said his 
officers do what is 
needed based on each situation.
	"If we have a violent confrontation with 
someone, the 
officer will only use the force necessary to 
control him," he 
said. "It may involve pressure points or 
other methods."
	After the incident, McVerry went to ASU 
DPS 
headquarters to complain. He said an official 
there "totally 
didn't want to deal with me" and he left 
frustrated. McVerry 
did pick up a complaint form and he gave it 
to his lawyer.
	Later, McVerry went to Student Health to 
get his 
injuries checked. Besides the bruises on his 
head and arm, he 
said his jaw may also be injured because it's 
making a 
clicking sound.
	McVerry has hired an attorney, Richard 
Tolman, to 
represent him. Tolman said he is 
investigating McVerry's 
accusations and if they and other witnesses' 
statements prove 
true, he will file a lawsuit against the 
police and the 
University.
	"From what I've seen so far, those 
constitutional rights 
guaranteed to McVerry were violated by ASU 
police," he 
said.
	Tolman said the suit, if filed, would 
charge ASU police 
with violating McVerry's civil rights, 
including use of 
excessive force, illegal arrest and unlawful 
search and 
seizure. He said he has not decided on the 
amount or types of 
monetary damages to seek. 
	Tolman talked to one witness so far and 
is looking for 
others, he said, adding he will make a 
decision on whether to 
file the suit within the next two weeks.
	McVerry has a court date for the 
disorderly conduct 
charge on Sept. 17. Tolman said McVerry has 
hired a separate 
lawyer for that charge.
	McVerry has been visibly shaken since 
the incident. 
He said it has changed his opinion about 
campus police.
	"I keep going over and over that night 
in my head," 
McVerry said. "It's brutal. I just think this 
is unfair. They're 
talking about safety on campus when they're 
the ones who 
are supposed to be protecting me.
	"The whole situation disillusions you."

Coor: Keep University diverse

By Cody V. Aycock
State Press
	Despite the national debate over 
affirmative action, 
cultural diversity will remain a fundamental 
goal of ASU, 
University President Lattie Coor told a group 
of faculty 
leaders Monday. 
	"(Diversity) is a core value of this 
University, in our 
students, in our faculty, in our programs, 
and we are going to 
pursue that," he said at the first Academic 
Senate meeting this 
semester.
	Coor said he is not sure where the 
Arizona Board of 
Regents stands on the topic.
	"One of the issues that is not yet clear 
from the 
Arizona Board of Regents' context is the 
issue of diversity, or 
as it has been put into code word, 
affirmative action," he said. 
	Coor expects the broader issues of 
diversity to be 
discussed at the next Regents' meeting 
scheduled for Sept. 28 
and 29 at ASU, he said.  
	"The agenda has not been set yet ... but 
there is a real 
interest in exploring the issues ... so I 
believe there will be 
some form of discussion of the larger 
diversity issue," he said. 
	Norma Salas, Regents' assistant for 
public affairs, said 
if the issue of affirmative action is raised 
in September, it will 
probably take place as an informative 
discussion. 
	Affirmative action on college campuses 
was thrust into 
the national spotlight after the University 
of California's 
Board of Regents eliminated gender and race-
based 
admissions policies. 
	Coor said Arizona's affirmative action 
debate is 
different because the three state 
universities accept all 
qualified Arizona residents. 
	The University may need to evaluate the 
tools used to 
instill diversity, but creating a campus 
representative of 
society is "the most important value," said 
ASU's Provost 
Milton Glick.
	"If the methods used to achieve 
(diversity) need to be 
re-evaluated, then (Regents) can do that, but 
diversity needs 
to be the main focus," he said.

Cheap travel an option for flexible fliers

By Tim Baxter
State Press
	Want to get to Europe for less than 
$300?
	Students seeking inexpensive travel may 
not be 
familiar with two of the cheapest options of 
all - courier 
programs and stand-by services.
	Courier programs arrange for cut-rate 
tickets in 
exchange for travelers giving up their 
luggage space to 
documents or merchandise. Stand-by services 
buy up unused 
seats on international flights and resell 
them.
	"The courier companies basically 
purchase the tickets 
in the courier's name at a severe discount," 
said Byron Lutz, 
editor of the Air Courier Bulletin and a 
frequent courier. "The 
couriers can sometimes fly for next to 
nothing." 
	Couriers allow companies to send 
documents overseas 
quickly. Overnight shippers such as Federal 
Express often 
use couriers, Lutz said. 
	"People think Federal Express does all 
their own 
shipping, and they do not," he said. "When it 
absolutely has 
to be there in a few hours, they'll use a 
courier."
	John Leffue, a 34-year-old Scottsdale 
Community 
College commercial photography student, said 
flying as a 
courier allowed him to see the world, but he 
recommended 
packing light.
	"I'm a shoestring traveler," Leffue 
said. "If I fly to 
Singapore I take a couple of shirts, shoes 
and whatever. It's 
carry-on only, because they are using your 
luggage space."
	Couriers are usually limited to two 
carry-on bags.
	Leffue said he had been a courier twice. 
	"The first time I flew out to Singapore, 
Malaysia and 
Thailand," he said. "Then I flew out to 
Australia." 
	Courier flight prices can range from a 
discount of a 
few hundred dollars to free flights.
	"I've seen flights from LA to Tokyo for 
nothing. 
Sometimes they have trouble getting people 
into Tokyo," 
Lutz said. "I have a listing for New York to 
Paris for $150 
round trip."
	Lutz added that flights booked in 
advance generally 
cost more than last minute flights, but the 
last minute trips 
left little time for planning.
	"Sometimes the last minute stuff is only 
a week away," 
he said.
	Stand-by services plan ahead to take 
advantage of last 
minute, unsold seats, but they require 
travelers to have some 
flexibility in exactly how they reach their 
final destination.
	Nilsa Bickel, director of west coast 
operations for 
Airhitch, one of the largest stand-by 
services, said Airhitch 
clients may not fly to their actual 
destination, but the service 
would help them get there using local 
transportation.
	Airhitch offers trips from Los Angeles 
to Europe for 
$269.
	"We get you to Europe within a five-day 
window," 
Bickel said. "What we do is try to get them 
to their final 
destination, and we try to help them get 
around when they 
get there."
	Airhitch can also help with Eurail 
passes, buses and 
other local transportation.

Business advising office one of best in U.S.

By Patty King
State Press
	The Undergraduate Programs Office in the 
College of 
Business has been named one of the best 
advising programs 
in the country.
	The program will accept the 1995 
Outstanding 
Institutional Advising Certificate of Merit 
from the National 
Academic Advising Association Oct. 10, at the 
association's 
national conference in Nashville, Tenn.
	"It's the sum total of the programs that 
we have that 
were the reasons we won this award," said 
Adela Gasca, 
senior academic adviser in the Undergraduate 
Programs 
Office.
	Bobbie Flaherty, the executive director 
of the National 
Academic Advising Association, said the 
organization hands 
out two categories of national awards each 
year. One is for 
outstanding advisement programs and the other 
is for 
outstanding advisers.
	Carol Dallas, the coordinator of 
academic advising for 
Undergraduate Programs, said one of the 
college's most 
innovative services is the Business Advisery 
Committee. 
Once a month, about five students meet with 
the coordinator 
of academic advising to voice concerns and 
discuss topics 
related to advising such as increasing the 
hours advisers are 
available for students.
	"It provides them with a forum to 
express their 
concerns and it also gives them an 
opportunity to work in a 
team," she said.
	During the spring 1994 semester, 
students who took 
part in the committee said they would like to 
be assigned to a 
single adviser who would remain with them for 
the entire 
duration they were in school.
	As a result of that input, advisers are 
now assigned to 
specific majors and students work with the 
same adviser 
throughout their school experience.
	"It would be hard to get input from the 
large number 
of the students at the school, " said. Marcus 
Lerman, a 
marketing major. "You feel like a number 
sometimes. It's 
probably the only way to get feedback from 
the students 
individually."
	Kim Jones, an academic adviser in the 
Undergraduate 
Programs Office, said the college also offers 
mandatory 
probation workshops three times a year for 
people who are 
having academic difficulties.
	Dallas said that the workshops cover 
topics such as 
good study skills, University grading 
policies and time-
management skills.
	Kay Faris, the director of undergraduate 
programs in 
the College of Business, said another 
noteworthy program in 
the business college is the Majors Fair. 
	It is held each fall on the dean's patio 
and students can 
talk to representatives from each of the 
college's eight majors, 
including accountancy, real estate and 
computer information 
systems. They can also meet with people from 
the M.B.A and 
Honors programs and representatives from ASU 
Career 
Services.
	Faris said the Undergraduate Programs 
Office also 
offers services such as individual, telephone 
and counter 
advising for students.
	Sean Nelson, a business advertising 
major, said he was 
pleased with the college's advising service.
	"They told me what was really going on 
and what I 
needed to do," he said. "Once I got that 
information from 
them, things were working out."

Editorial: Teacher evaluations

	Want a good definition of "a shot in the 
dark?"
	Try class registration time.
	Every semester, we offer up prayers to 
whatever 
academic gods loom over us that the 
instructor in the class 
we're signing up for is a good one.
	Occasionally, word will filter down from 
some friends 
that a certain professor is fantastic, or 
that another one is a 
sadistic authoritarian with whom you've got 
about the same 
chance of getting an A as you do of winning 
Lotto.
	But most of the time, you haven't got 
that luxury - and 
you've just got to wait and hope.
	The Arizona Students Association wants 
to change 
that.
	The student body presidents of ASU, UofA 
and NAU 
are trying to implement a plan that would 
require the three 
universities to publish the results of 
instructor evaluations in 
the back of each semester's bulletin - a 
program that would, 
in effect, allow students to know exactly 
what they're getting 
into.
	While this plan is still very much on 
the drawing 
board, it is an idea whose time has come.
	Universities today must be considered an 
investment. 
Students invest massive quantities of time 
and money into a 
university in order to achieve a result - a 
degree, and a shot at 
a more lucrative career.
	Viewed in this way, the idea of 
publishing student 
evaluations is a valid one.
	When investors wish to invest in a 
company, they will 
first do their research. They check to see 
which companies 
perform best in the marketplace, which give a 
high return on 
investment dollars - and which ones are like 
pouring money 
down a giant rathole. 
	Professors can and should be evaluated 
in the same 
way. Some professors are very much worth our 
time and 
money. We can all recall professors that 
challenged us to 
think and to learn - professors who expanded 
our horizons, 
and profoundly influenced our lives.
	We can also all recall instructors who 
had no business 
teaching at a major university. We've had 
classes where you 
learned more by sleeping through class than 
you did by 
paying attention.
	Students should have the right to know 
what they're 
getting before they jump in. It would save 
the University lots 
of time and trouble - drop/adds would 
probably sharply 
decline.
	There are dangers we must watch out for, 
however. 
There is the danger of taking student 
evaluations too 
seriously.
	Many students do their evaluations 
conscientiously. 
But too many others out there see them as 
simply a waste of 
time, and fill them out without putting much 
time and 
thought into the process.
	Even worse, some students actually 
prefer "breeze-
through" classes - classes where you don't 
learn much of 
anything, but you can get an easy A - and 
when they have to 
work for a high grade, they lash out against 
the teacher with 
a poor evaluation.
	Students need to be told which classes 
have the 
highest educational value - not which classes 
are the easiest 
way to straight A's.
	Publication of student evaluations is a 
good idea - but 
you've got to take them with a grain of salt. 
They can be a 
helpful piece of information when making out 
a class 
schedule, but they shouldn't be the only 
consideration.

Column: Forgive or forget Mike Tyson?

Point
Liz Montalbano
Columnist
	While talking with my father on the 
phone recently, he 
asked me what I thought about the Mike Tyson-
Peter 
McNeely fight.
	"How about that, Lizzy (my dreaded 
family 
nickname)," he said. "Knocked him out in less 
than two 
minutes."
	"Well, Dad," my answer was, "I really 
didn't pay too 
much attention to the fight. The man's a 
convicted rapist."
	My father, a lovable man but not one 
known for his 
sensitivity to women's issues, responded, 
"Yeah, but that girl 
had no business going up to his hotel room in 
the first place."
	Since I love my father dearly and didn't 
want to anger 
him, I told him that I refused to discuss the 
issue further, said 
goodbye and hung up the phone.
	But his all-too-familiar response to the 
subject of rape 
left me bristling. Why is it that a typically 
male response 
upon hearing that a woman is raped is that 
she, in some way, 
"had it coming?" Why is it that even in 1995 
women still 
cannot spend time with a man alone in a room 
without their 
simple presence near a mattress implying an 
invitation to 
sex?
	Furthermore, why does the only angry 
response to the 
Tyson-McNeely fight seem to be that someone 
wasted $49 for 
pay-per-view on a fight that lasted only one 
minute and 29 
seconds, rather than that a man who was 
convicted of raping 
a then-18-year-old woman is still permitted 
to box 
professionally and earn $25 million for doing 
little more than 
stepping his big toe into a boxing ring?
	Let's review some well-known facts. In 
July, 1992 Mike 
Tyson was in Indianapolis to promote the Miss 
Black 
America pageant. He "spent time" in his hotel 
room with 
contestant Desiree Washington, who later 
accused Tyson of 
rape. The rest, as they say, is history. 
	Tyson denied the accusation. 
Nevertheless, he was 
convicted by a jury of his peers on rape 
charges and faced a 
prison term that could have incarcerated him 
until the year 
2055.  
He was sentenced to six years; he served only 
three.
	Mike Tyson's much-heralded, post-prison 
comeback is 
earning him more money and press than ever.
	Other athletes have been banned from 
their respective 
sports for lesser crimes. Baseball player 
Pete Rose, for 
example, was banned from baseball for the 
non-violent, and 
arguably lesser, crime of gambling. 
	Mike Tyson committed rape, a violent 
crime violating 
and scarring a woman for the rest of her 
life, yet is still 
earning big bucks and publicity.
	True, boxing and baseball are profoundly 
different 
sports. Boxing is a sport based solely on 
violence, a sport 
whose participants are facing potentially 
fatal consequences 
every time they go to work. Though being paid 
to pummel an 
opponent with your fists seems a perfect way 
to unleash 
aggression and make an obscene amount of 
money at the 
same time, it should not constitute any 
special bending of the 
moral codes for its participants.
	Tyson himself was in a school for 
juvenile delinquents 
when he was a teenager - violence, it seems, 
was in his blood. 
Boxing, a specifically masculine sport of 
domination, seemed 
the perfect arena for him to redirect his 
anger. 
	Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to 
prevent him from 
lashing out against an innocent woman. 
Tyson's conviction 
and subsequent incarceration seemed to be a 
victory for the 
stand against sexual abuse of women. 
	But how is one to learn from past 
mistakes if he is not 
suitably punished for them? Sure, Tyson spent 
three years in 
jail, but by the looks of his freshly pumped 
biceps, it seems 
his body suffered little physical 
deterioration other than the 
natural toll three years of living will take 
on a human being. 
No one can be sure exactly what transpired 
during Tyson's 
three years of confinement - they were 
probably not easy 
ones- but does a convicted rapist's 
reparation for his crime 
end when he is released from prison? 
	In my opinion, it should not.
	And in my opinion, Tyson should be 
banned from the 
sport he disgraced as a constant reminder of 
the crime he 
committed, rather than praised and paid for 
the same 
strength that forced Desiree Washington to 
have sex with 
him.
	Scars from rape do not easily disappear. 
Women who 
have been victimized in this way do not ever 
forget the 
violation committed against them. They are 
the innocents - 
yet they will always feel the repercussions 
of the violent act 
forced upon them by a male offender.
Mike Tyson, as the perpetrator of such a 
crime, should be 
sentenced to the same fate.

	My brother John is in jail. He's 
scheduled to be 
released in December after serving almost 
seven years. He 
didn't rape or kill anyone but he did commit 
a federal crime, 
so he had to serve his full sentence without 
any time off for 
good behavior.
	The details of his crime are unclear. It 
seems a team of 
federal officers were parked in front of a 
house down the 
street from my brother's apartment. The 
officers were on 
some type of stakeout, so they had been 
sitting in their car for 
some time. My brother, who is not the 
brightest guy in the 
world, decided to start some trouble with the 
officers. The 
men tried to dissuade John because they 
didn't want to bring 
any attention to themselves, but my brother 
would have none 
of that. The rest depends on whom you 
believe. 
	Version 1 (John's): My brother flashed a 
gun at the 
officers to show them that he meant business, 
at which time 
the officers jumped out of their car and 
struggled with him, 
leading to a discharge of the gun. No one was 
hurt.
	Version. 2 (the feds): My brother, 
having had too much 
to drink (which is usually the case) walked 
across the street 
and began having target practice with the 
officers' car.
	Version 3 (mom's): My brother was 
possessed by the 
devil.
	Version 4 (guy who lives next door): My 
brother was 
kidnapped by aliens. His evil twin, the true 
perpetrator of the 
crime, can now be found on the planet Zolton 
or by calling 
1-800-COLLECT. 
	Seriously, I know what my brother did 
was stupid and 
he deserved to go to jail. He's the type of 
guy that has been in 
trouble all of his life. I can only hope his 
time in jail has 
finally taught him right from wrong. 
	Some good things have already happened. 
While 
serving time he got his GED and began taking 
college courses 
in computers. I truly believe, with the 
proper skills, he can be 
a productive member of society.
	When I catch myself cursing at the sight 
of Mike Tyson 
free after only serving three years of his 
six-year sentence, I 
stop and think of John. Though their crimes 
are very 
different, they are both very violent men.
	Tyson is a fighter because it is all 
he's ever known. 
John was a fighter because he didn't know any 
better.
	Tyson did whatever he wanted because he 
never had a 
father to tell him not to. John did whatever 
he wanted 
because my father allowed it. My father had 
eight kids, five 
of which were boys, so if only one was 
getting in trouble, it 
was a good week.
	Tyson has trouble dealing with women 
because, as an 
early article pointed out, he tends to settle 
disputes with 
women as he would his male friends. Using his 
fists, 
intimidation and threats, John has trouble 
keeping a 
girlfriend because he has never loved anybody 
as much as he 
loves himself.
	Tyson's time in jail has taught him how 
to control his 
anger. He appears to be more articulate and 
reasonable now 
that he has seen the consequences of his 
actions. John's time 
in prison has humbled him. He now understands 
that the 
world does not revolve around him. 
	Tyson will never be the same fighter he 
was before. 
The world will now be looking at him through 
a magnifying 
glass. His achievements will be portrayed as 
larger than life. 
But then, so will his mistakes. John's days 
as a reckless 
teenager are behind him. But he still has a 
lot to prove to his 
friends, his family and, most of all, to 
himself. In our eyes if 
he fails, so do we.
	I guess what I'm trying to say here is 
that some people 
might feel that my brother does not deserve a 
second chance. 
The wives and families of the federal 
officers would probably 
like to see him locked up for the rest of his 
life. 
	I understand their anger. I feel the 
same things when I 
see an interview with Tyson or a promotional 
spot for one of 
his upcoming fights. He is getting on with 
his life and it 
makes me crazy.
	I would like to say no, this is not 
fair. How can we 
praise this man - this rapist? What about the 
victim, the 
woman he raped? Is she getting on with her 
life? I would like 
to protest the release of Tyson but I can't.  
	Tyson's return to boxing may be unfair 
and unjust. But 
I want these same things for my brother. I 
want my brother to 
be free. I want him to be able to live among 
us, and that 
means forgiving him for the crimes he has 
committed and 
giving him a second chance. 
	Tyson will go on to be a multi-
millionaire regardless of 
how I feel. His fans will still pay thousands 
to see him fight 
and some people will always believe he is 
innocent. 
	John, on the other hand, does need my 
forgiveness, my 
support and my love. I know he will never 
make $25 million 
for 90 seconds' work, but I would be happy to 
see him make 
just one honest dollar.

Column: Republic's coverage of hate crime shameful

Christina Bailey
Opinion Editor
	Once again I wonder where editors get 
their news 
judgment from. 
	I wonder how one paper - the Mesa 
Tribune -  could 
run a front page story about an alleged hate 
crime and how 
the other major paper -The Arizona Republic - 
could bury it 
on the inside of Valley and State, the second 
section of the 
Republic.
	I don't think it was the fact that they 
buried it on an 
inside page that made me so angry; it was 
what they ran on 
the front page as its top story instead that 
put me over the 
edge.
	It was entitled: "Hoops star who 
admitted sex crime 
coming to Mesa." 
	The hoops star was, of course, black, 
and yes, his mug 
was parked right next to the article.
	I couldn't believe that some no-name 
ballplayer, going 
to a relatively small school, could get 
front-page play over an 
alleged hate crime that happened on a campus 
that sees 
40,000 students on a daily basis.
	Maybe it didn't go on the front page 
because it was an 
"alleged" hate crime and details were a bit 
sketchy, like 
representatives for the paper said when I 
called to tell them I 
how upset I was with the lack of coverage. 
But I am inclined 
to believe if it had been a white male beaten 
up by a black 
fraternity member, it would have been 
plastered all over 
page 1.
	Over the past couple of years I have 
spoken to many 
editors about the seemingly negative 
treatment of minorities 
by the press. I have found that many papers 
are trying to be 
more sensitive and fair in their coverage of 
minorities by 
hiring more minorities and speaking with 
leaders within the 
community. After reading the Republic, I 
seriously doubt it is 
one of those papers.
	For instance, on my first day back from 
Cleveland, I 
picked up the Republic and started to read an 
article titled 
"Black teens resisting allure of cigarettes."
	I never got past the first quote. 
	A 15-year-old girl was talking about how 
guys prefer 
girls who don't smoke and was quoted as 
saying, "They be 
like, 'Don't be a draggin' lady.' "
	How stereotypical.
	For most papers, if a quote is 
grammatically incorrect 
or contains broken English, the general 
consensus has been to 
clean the quotes up so people don't sound 
illiterate or stupid. 
If you can't do that, then it shouldn't be 
run at all.
	And I don't know how many times in the 
past week I 
have glanced at the front page to see Rep. 
Mel Reynolds, D-
Ill., another black man, staring back at me. 
	Is he getting plastered all over the 
front page because 
he is a congressman convicted of sexual 
misconduct or 
because he is a black congressman convicted 
of sexual 
misconduct?
	The unfair coverage of minorities isn't 
blatant. But its 
subtle, everday occurrences scream to me that 
there isn't a 
committment to be more sensitive to the 
minority communty.
	And we wonder why racial tensions and 
hate crimes 
like the one that transpired this weekend 
continue to grow. 
The disproportionately negative coverage of 
what minorities 
do wrong is a good place to start looking for 
those answers.
	You can't tell me that white people 
don't commit 
crimes.
	You can't tell me that minorities aren't 
doing anything 
positive.
	What you can tell me is that the news 
judgment of the 
Republic is still lacking in color and needs 
to be held 
accountable for its actions or non-actions. 
	Until the Republic takes a more sensitve 
approach to 
minority issues, it shouldn't be read. They 
may be the 
Arizona's largest paper but if it loses 
enough readers, maybe 
they'll make the necessary changes to become 
a true public 
service.

Ex-ASU player hits 2nd round

Sargsian to face Russia's Medvedev at U.S. 
Open

By Dan Miller
State Press
	Former ASU tennis star Sargis Sargsian 
outlasted 75th-
ranked Michael Joyce in a grueling five-set 
match in the first 
round of 1995 U.S. Open men's tennis 
championships in 
Flushing Meadow, N.Y. Monday.
	Sargsian advanced to the second round 
with a 7-6(1), 
2-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory on court 20 of the 
USTA National 
Tennis Center. His next opponent will be 
Russia's 16th-
seeded Andrei Medvedev at a yet-to-be 
announced time on 
Wednesday.
	"I was pretty nervous in the beginning," 
said Sargsian, 
who earned an automatic wildcard berth into 
the tournament 
by winning the 1995 NCAA men's singles 
championship in 
May. "He hit good grounders and good returns 
and that's 
about it."
	The three-and-a-half hour match was 
Sargsian's first 
taste of Grand Slam-caliber tennis and the 
best three-out-of-
five set format.
	"It feels pretty good," said Sargsian, 
ASU's first 
national tennis champ, who compiled an 82-17 
record at No. 
1 singles in his two-year college career. "It 
was a pretty tough 
match."

Softball duo to compete for Olympic roster

By Damian Shaw
State Press
	A lot of current and former ASU athletes 
are trying to 
make various U.S. Olympic squads this year, 
but it's not 
always the case that players and coaches are 
competing for 
the same roster spot.
	That's almost the case this year, with 
softball assistant 
coach Ann Rowan and center fielder Lisa 
Dacquisto both 
leaving  Wednesday to attend the Olympic team 
tryouts.  But 
don't expect it to be an unfriendly 
competition. Rowan 
believes the duo can only help the Sun 
Devils' recruiting. 
	"I think it's good that we'll both be 
there," Rowan said. 
"We hear so much about Arizona and UofA, but 
we also have 
people coming out of ASU who are capable of 
playing at the 
national level, so I think we can open other 
people's eyes 
about the other Arizona school."
	Dacquisto is also looking forward to 
having Rowan 
around. 
	"She's going to be pushing me; she's a 
real good 
inspiration for me," Dacquisto said. "I hope 
to God she makes 
it because she deserves it. She's really 
someone I look up to 
because she's been there and she's done 
that."
	While Rowan at 26 could easily make a 
vie for the 2000 
Olympic team, she has already decided this 
will be her last 
run at playing for the national team. 
However, Dacquisto, at 
20, is much closer to the beginning of her 
career in terms of 
international play. 
	"Last year at the Pan Am trials was the 
first time that I 
ever played with the more experienced girls," 
Dacquisto said. 
"I had never played in a women's major, but 
this last summer 
all I did was play against them, so I'm going 
to go into these 
tryouts less intimidated."
	Dacquisto was part of a team this past 
summer that 
took second place in the Canada Cup. 
	But no one is kidding themselves about 
their chances 
of making the team. While Rowan is a veteran 
of several 
national teams, including a gold-medal-
winning performance 
at the Pan Am games last spring, she isn't a 
shoe-in. 
However, she certainly is a favorite to make 
the team as a 
shortstop or a utility player. 
	Dacquisto, on the other hand, will have 
a much more 
difficult time making the team because of the 
bevy of older 
players in front of her.
	Since this is the first year softball 
will be an Olympic 
sport, ASU softball coach Linda Wells 
believes that will make 
a lot of the older quality players give the 
national team one 
last shot.
	"There are a lot of players who have 
been hanging on," 
Wells said. "Maybe if it had been a medal 
sport for a long 
time a number of U.S. players would have 
already played 
and been done, but they're hanging on because 
this is the first 
opportunity that they have had."
	Rowan, a former shortstop for the Sun 
Devils, received 
a bid for one of the 60 tryout spots because 
of her former 
national experience as well as her play in 
summer leagues. 
Dacquisto received an at-large bid for her 
play in the national 
tournament this past summer. Former Sun 
Devils Suzie Gaw 
(1979-82) and Christy Serritella (1989-1992) 
also received at-
large bids, giving ASU players and alumni 
three of the six at-
large bids extended by the softball selection 
committee. 
	For Rowan, the best part of the Olympics 
is that they 
are being held in Atlanta. 
	"It means so much more being in our own 
country, but 
it means more than the obvious reasons," 
Rowan said. "If I 
make it, my family's going to go and my 
boyfriend's family is 
going to go. If the Olympics were being held 
in another 
country I don't know how realistic that would 
be."
	Dacquisto isn't looking that far ahead, 
though. She just 
hopes to be recognized next time. 
	"I don't expect to make anything," she 
said. "I just want 
to be seen and have them remember me for the 
future."
	Wells acknowledged that while Rowan's 
career isn't 
quite over, Dacquisto's is just beginning.
	"It isn't to say that Anne, who is 
fairly young, couldn't 
hold on for other games, as opposed to Lisa, 
who is only a 
junior in college and who will be in a much 
better position in 
four years."
	Rowan, however, is ready to hang up the 
spikes after 
this Olympics. 
	"This will be my last chance," Rowan 
said. "I'm not 
going to try and stay around for 2000. I 
don't want to worry 
about the stress of tryouts and traveling. I 
want to get to 
where I can focus on my job here and spend 
more time with 
my family and friends."
	Rowan, who has been playing softball for 
more than 
20 years, is looking forward to doing 
everything other than 
playing softball after the '96 Olympics. 
	The players who do make the squad will 
stay an extra 
week to complete paperwork for the American 
Softball 
Association. Then they will meet once in 
October to work out 
diet and exercise programs before the team 
meets for good in 
April to prepare for the games.

Sun Devil football battles for positions

Martin, Battle to share back-up tailback; 
Farlow to redshirt, 
Snyder says 

By Dan Miller
State Press
	Nebraska and Penn State have them. So 
does Florida 
State. Every year the finest football 
programs in the nation 
stage countless battles for starting spots. 
With game day 
inching closer, Coach Bruce Snyder said he 
has been 
pleasantly surprised with the way his team 
has responded in 
some of the best dogfights for positions he's 
seen in years.
	"One of the things that has happened 
this fall that has 
not happened in the previous (seasons) is 
that we did have 
some battles," he said Monday in his first 
press conference of 
the season. "That's a positive. Some of those 
kids don't think 
it's positive, particularly if they think 
they're on the losing 
end of it ... but all the really good 
programs around the 
country have battles, and so we needed to 
make sure that 
turned into a positive."
	One of the more notable battles in camp 
has ended in a 
draw for two men. Snyder said sophomore 
tailbacks Michael 
Martin and Terry Battle will both be in 
uniform for the 
season-opener at Washington Saturday, sharing 
the back-up 
position.
	Senior starting tailback Chris Hopkins 
held off 
challenges from Martin, Battle, redshirt 
freshman Brian 
Singleton and sophomore Marlon Farlow. 
Singleton will also 
make the trip and could see action at 
tailback, flyback and/or 
special teams. Farlow, who carried 45 times 
in the last four 
games of 1994, will likely redshirt, Snyder 
said.
	"That's what we would like to do and I 
think that's 
what Marlon would like to do," he said. "You 
never know 
what might happen in terms of injury and that 
sort of thing ... 
He has concurred that (he will) redshirt, let 
(Hopkins) move 
on and open up the battle next spring."
	Snyder also pointed out healthy 
competitions at right 
cornerback and strong safety in what appears 
to be one the 
deepest secondaries the Sun Devils have seen 
in years. Senior 
right corner Marcus Soward, whose camp has 
been slowed 
with a groin injury, has sophomore Jason 
Simmons and 
junior Traivon Johnson breathing down his 
neck for the start. 
Simmons has worn the special black jersey 
given to the 
defensive player who is having the best 
practices on several 
occasions in recent weeks.
	Meanwhile, senior Harlen Rashada has a 
slight edge 
on redshirt-freshman Mitchell "Fright Night" 
Freedman at 
strong safety. But Snyder maintained 
significant playing time 
is imminent for Freedman, who is the only man 
in the 
secondary who can play both strong and weak 
safety equally 
as well.
	Sixth-year senior linebacker Justin 
Dragoo has dodged 
any pushes for the starting job by his sheer 
determination on 
the field, said Snyder, who added Dragoo will 
play about 60 
percent of the snaps and sophomore Pat 
Tillman would play 
the other 30 to 40 percent, especially in 
passing situations.
	"The guy never ceases to amaze me on 
what he's done 
and how he's done it," Snyder said of the 
overachieving 
Dragoo.
	Sophomore quarterback Jason Verdugo will 
take over 
for junior starter Jake Plummer if the 
situation arises early. 
However, Snyder said Verdugo's second-string 
status was 
not an absolute yet.
	"We have decided who will go in the game 
second, but 
I still believe that that competition will be 
ongoing for a while 
and it's not clearly defined 'who No. 2 is'," 
said Snyder, who 
said he would like to put redshirt freshman 
Steve Campbell 
in a game situation as soon as possible to 
provide a better 
gauge. 
	Notes:
	* Junior starting center Kirk Robertson, 
who strained 
his anterior cruciate ligament during a 
scrimmage at Camp 
Tontozona two weeks ago, is reporting 
improvement in his 
condition. Snyder said he hopes Robertson 
will be able to 
play within a few weeks. Redshirt freshman 
Grey Ruegamer, 
who can play both center and right tackle, 
will start at center 
Saturday.
	* Only 11 out of the 60 players 
traveling to Washington 
will be seniors. ASU may start six of those 
men and as few as 
four at the opening snap.

Cy Young Award winner assumes role as pitching coach

By Dustin Krugel
State Press
	After 211 wins in the professional 
ranks, ex-major leaguer Bob Welch 
wants to give ASU's pitching staff a boost.
	"Pitching is what I know best," Welch 
said of his new responsibilities as 
pitching coach at a press conference Monday. 
"That's what this program is asking 
me to do. That is one area I do know the most 
about and (I'll) be able to pass that 
on in a way that these guys (the players) can 
grasp onto without overloading 
them."
	Adding 17 years of major league 
experience wasn't too difficult of a choice 
for ASU Coach Pat Murphy, who was elated over 
Welch's addition.
	"We felt like he's a really unique guy 
and that he cares so much about 
player development," Murphy said. "He cares 
so much about the player as a 
person and as a player. We felt with his 
wealth of experience, he could really be a 
plus."
	Welch retired in 1994 after playing for 
the Oakland Athletics and the Los 
Angeles Dodgers. Welch's best season came in 
1990 when he won a Cy Young 
Award after posting a 27-6 record and a 2.95 
ERA for the A's.
	"Any guy with major league experience 
should help out," junior pitcher 
Kaipo Spenser said. "How can you turn down 
advice from a Cy Young Award 
winner?"
	Welch's limited background in coaching 
includes a stint as an assistant 
with Scottsdale Community College last 
spring.
	"We coached a lot with each other (in 
the major leagues) but not actually 
coaching-coaching," Welch said. "I just know 
I'm a baseball junkie. I love 
baseball."
	Welch looks forward to sharing his 
baseball knowledge and helping 
ASU's pitchers reach the major leagues.
	"What he (Murphy) expressed the most is 
guys at this level having an 
opportunity to make a large impact at the 
major league level and where I could 
actually pass on some things," he said.
	Welch will emphasize the importance of 
changing speeds on pitches, an 
area in which he excelled.
	"The most important thing in our 
profession , college or whatever, is the 
ability to throw a baseball," Welch said. 
"When you can do that and change 
speeds to go along with that, you can be 
successful (at) whatever level you are."
	One of Welch's first assignments may be 
getting ASU's talented freshmen 
ready to pitch next spring.
	"They had a big decision to make and it 
was really neat to see how they 
responded to the questions I asked them the 
other day," said Welch, referring to 
his inquiries about why the players chose 
college over the pros. 
	Welch can actually relate to the 
newcomers because he was in the same 
predicament after he graduated from high 
school..
	"I went to college and had a chance to 
sign out of high 
school - not some of the dollars they're 
being offered now -  
but I had that same opportunity too," he 
said.

Welch's career at a glance
* All-American at Eastern Michigan University
* first-round draft pick of Los Angeles 
Dodgers in June 1977
* 211 career wins, 146 losses
* 17 years in the major leagues
* career ERA of 3.47
* won 1990 National League Cy Young award 
with 27-6 record, 2.95 ERA, 238 innings, 
127 strikeouts and two shutouts.

ASU police reported the following incidents 
Monday:
* A female student was arrested and later 
released for 
possession of marijuana at 909 S. Terrace 
Road.
* A male juvenile was arrested for 
shoplifting at Tower

Tempe police reported the following incidents 
Monday:
* A man attempted an armed robbery of 
Manuel's Restaurant, 
2350 E. Southern Ave. The suspect entered the 
business 
through an unlocked back door, grabbed an 
employee and 
demanded money. He became frightened when 
told the safe 
could not be opened and fled without getting 
any money. 
The suspect is described as a black man in 
his early 20s, about 
5 feet 9 inches tall and between 140 and 160 
pounds. He 
covered his face with what appeared to be a 
shirt sleeve.
* A 26-year-old man drowned in his backyard 
swimming 
pool. Peter Defonce was found at the bottom 
of the pool by 
his roommate. After being pulled from the 
pool, CPR was 
attempted and the Tempe Fire Department was 
called, but he 
appeared to be dead at the scene. He was 
taken to Desert 
Samaritan Hospital, where he was pronounced 
dead. Drug 
paraphernalia, marijuana and equipment for 
inhaling nitrous 
oxide were found at the scene and may have 
been a 
contributing factor in the death.
* A 21-year-old man was arrested for assault 
after he punched 
the manager of Gibson's, 410 S. Mill Ave. The 
man had 
climbed an 8-foot fence and was confronted by 
the manager 
in front of the club. He then hit him in the 
face two times.
