Friends, family mourn student killed in crash

	If you ever needed somebody to talk to, 
you didn't 
have to ask Judd Shulak to listen. 
	He would just be there. 
	"It was like he knew," said Basil Hill, 
a junior finance 
major. "He would just show up and be there 
for you as long 
as you needed him." 
	Shulak, a sophomore business 
administration major 
and Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity member, died 
Friday from 
injuries sustained when his all-terrain 
vehicle overturned in 
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. 
	He was 21. 
	"He was the greatest kid in the world," 
said his father, 
Dave Shulak. "He was loved by everybody."
	Graveside services were attended by 
about 200 friends 
and family Tuesday. Shulak is survived by his 
parents, Dave 
and Gloria, and his sister, Tamara. 
	Shulak was vacationing with some 
fraent occurred, his father said. 
Shulak was the 
fraternity's pledge class president last year 
and was serving 
as its philanthropic chair this semester. 
	Hill, also a Phi Kappa Psi member, said 
he met Shulak 
about eight years ago when the two arrived as 
the "new kids" 
at middle school. Hill said Shulak joked 
around and was 
always the center of attention. Even now, 
when something 
funny happens, Hill said he thinks about what 
kind of joke 
Shulak would make. 
	"It's like he's still there," he said. 
"He'll always be 
there."
	Although Shulak was majoring in business 
administration, Dave Shulak said his son was 
thinking about 
entering sports management at the suggestion 
of Danny 
Briggs, a neighbor and professional golfer. 
Briggs said he 
recommended the career because of Shulak's 
business skills 
and love of sports. 
	"He had real business sense and he was 
so outgoing 
and personal," Briggs said. "He was 
comfortable in meeting 
people." 
	Before leaving for Mexico, Briggs said 
Shulak asked 
his daughters to draw a picture he could put 
up in his 
fraternity house. 
	"My kids loved him," Briggs said. "It 
was a horrible, 
horrible accident, and we're going to miss 
him."

Mill Ave. site for two random shootings

By Greg Zemeida and Angela Mull
State Press
	Within half an hour of each other early 
Tuesday 
morning, there were two separate shooting 
incidents on Mill 
Avenue.
	Between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m., a man 
fired two shots 
into the air at Club 411, 411 S. Mill Ave., 
and other men fired 
26 shots at the Mobile gas station at the 
corner of Mill Avenue 
and University Drive.
	No one was injured in either incident 
and they were 
not related, said Les Strickland, a spokesman 
for the Tempe 
Police Department.
	He said it is unusual to have two 
shootings so close 
together, calling them a "chance occurrence."
	The first incident happened at Club 411 
just after 1 
a.m. Vincent Lusania, 27, was arrested for 
aggravated assault 
with a firearm after firing two shots into 
the air. He had just 
been kicked out of the club by the security 
manager, Luther 
Koerner, for bothering a patron, Strickland 
said.
	While he was leaving, Lusania allegedly 
told Koerner 
that he would "cap him" and he made a motion 
like he was 
triggering a gun. When he got to a nearby 
parking lot, 
Lusania allegedly pulled out a gun and raised 
it into the air. 
Koerner ducked and heard two shots. A 
Maricopa County 
sheriff arrived and detained Lusania until 
Tempe police 
picked him up. 
	The second incident at the gas station 
happened 
minutes after the first. About 26 shots were 
fired near the 
station by one or more occupants of two cars 
there, which 
then fled. 
	The shots damaged windows at the Chase 
Bank 
Building, 100 W. University Drive, and at 
America West, 660 
S. Mill Ave. No other damage was reported.
	There is no description of the suspects 
and it is not 
known why the shooting started, Strickland 
said.
	"The only witness we have doesn't know 
who they 
were shooting at, just that shots were being 
fired," he said.
	One of the cars is described as a white 
convertible and 
the other as a black 70s model Impala.

Pure Adrenaline rushes to ASU

By RuthAnn Hogue
State Press
	What's better than sex?
	Skydiving, white water rafting and rock 
climbing are 
"the ultimate experience," according to Pure 
Adrenaline, a 
new campus club.
	And more than 60 students seem to agree.
	That's how many have plunked down the 
$29 annual 
membership fee in the last two weeks. Most 
new members 
are traditional college students, between 18 
and 22 years old, 
said national recruiter Shane Grant. Events 
are tentatively 
scheduled every Saturday and Sunday for the 
next two 
months.
	Andy Ginsburg, a freshman psychology 
major, joined 
the club Thursday. He said the club-sponsored 
"raves" - 
underground parties crammed with a large 
number of people 
in a dance hall with a disc jockey - interest 
him the most. 
	Ginsburg attended raves frequently in 
his hometown 
of Miami, but said he hasn't found any in 
Tempe.  When he 
heard last week that Pure Adrenaline has held 
large raves in 
Los Angeles with as many as 25,000 people, 
and plans to hold 
them in Phoenix, he decided to join.
	Raves are illegal if the number of 
people who attend 
exceeds fire code regulations.
	"In Arizona, it's going to be on a big 
plot of land with a 
fence, so there isn't going to be any fire 
code," Grant said.
	Grant believes that most students will 
not have trouble 
fitting weekend adventures into an otherwise 
hectic school 
schedule, he said.
	"All of those students are partying 
their butts off every 
weekend," Grant said.
	But not every student fits the same 
mold.
	Jim Searcy, a 41-year-old junior 
electronic engineering 
major, is interested in attending the one-day 
skydiving and 
scuba diving trips for different reasons.
	"I'm past that age when I'm looking for 
something to 
do to take my mind off school," he said. 
"(The club) is more 
directly to my focus. A lot of clubs are 
social groups for 
younger students, and I don't feel like 
socializing with 23-
year-olds."
	The club will set up a separate branch 
for older 
students, Grant said.
	"A lot of them won't be skydiving, but 
it's amazing 
how many people over 40 do skydive," he said.
	Those who join will receive 20 to 50 
percent discounts 
on one-day trips. The discount is contingent 
on the number of 
people participating in each event. For 
example, a sky-diving 
activity planned for Sept. 10 will cost 
between $85 and $105. 
All activities will be listed on an 
information line for 
members only.

ASU employee creates high-ranked Web page

By David J. Kovacs
State Press
	Students in ASU's Parking Structure 1 
might recognize 
Wade Lattin as the parking attendant who bids 
them good-
bye each day.
	But few people know Lattin is also the 
creator of a 
critically-acclaimed World Wide Web "home 
page."
	Lattin, 44, is the author of the 
"Nkrumahist/Toureist: 
African Perspective" Web page.
	The page champions pan-Africanism - the 
political 
unification of Africans worldwide, Lattin 
said.
	"I want it to exist as a focal point to 
bring African-
Americans together," said Lattin, an ASU 
staff member of 11 
years. The site gives African-Americans a 
site on the Internet 
devoted just to them, he added.
	Links to African art, history, geography 
and current 
politics are scattered throughout the site. 
Pictures of African-
American icons such as Malcolm X, Rosa Parks 
and Marcus 
Garvey, among others, are also available. 
Lattin also included 
information on African-American fraternities 
and other 
information in a specific link labeled 
"college students." 
	The title Nkrumahist/Toureist is derived 
from the 
names of the first presidents of Ghana and 
Guinea. Both men 
espoused the formation of an international 
political party 
promoting unity among people of African 
descent, Lattin 
said.
	The page has been on-line for two 
months. Lattin said 
it took about three weeks to gather the 
information for the 
web site and another two weeks to construct 
it.
	Lattin said he got the idea for the web 
site after getting 
involved in on-line news groups discussing 
economics, 
history and politics.
	"I was trying to bring it all together 
with more 
dimension," Lattin said.
	For his next project, Lattin will make 
his site even 
bigger, he said.
	"The funny thing is I had to be talked 
into getting the 
(Internet) account," he said.
	The site is currently listed at the 
Point Communication 
Corporation's web site. Point lists only what 
it considers to be 
the top 5 percent of all sites on the Web, 
said Point 
production director Erik Arnold.
	"We call our list 'Reviews with an 
attitude,' " Arnold 
said, adding that over 4,000 web sites have 
been reviewed.
	A review is rated on content, 
presentation and 
experience and is based on a scale of zero to 
50, Arnold said. 
Lattin's site is rated at 35.
	"I didn't expect it to be so eye-
appealing," Arnold said.
	Vince Salvato, the Web master in charge 
of ASU's 
home page, said students will also be able to 
create their own 
home pages beginning next month. The free 
service will be 
available when students first log on for a 
computer account. 
Faculty and staff already have the 
opportunity to create their 
own Web sites for free.

Former Soviets seek economic tips at ASU

By Timothy Tait
State Press
	After decades of tense relations, former 
members of 
the Soviet Union have looked to the United 
States and ASU 
for insight on trade and finance.
	Eleven senior executives and government 
officials 
from Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakstan 
and Kyrgyzstan 
will be spending three weeks in the U.S. 
learning about 
international finance and trade. The 
delegation spent last 
week in New York City observing the economic 
center of the 
U.S. 
	"The program addresses critical issues 
related to the 
economic development of countries with 
emerging 
democracies in the new environment of 
increasing global 
integration," said professor Dr. Eric Thor, 
director of the 
School of Agri-business.
	"We will be able to get in with the 
knowledge of 
American agriculture, trade and marketing," 
said Dr. 
Vsevolod Volkov of the Russian Ministry of 
External 
Economic Relations. 
	Volkov said the delegates are also 
learning about the 
difficulties which can accompany a free trade 
market.
	"We are getting a firm grip on some of 
the drawbacks 
of free trade. It is not a gorgeous entry 
into free market and 
free trade; we are finding it not so easy, 
but it is for the best," 
he said.

Chinese dam design team seeks advice from Arizona

By Kelly Wendel
State Press
	Represenatives from China paid ASU a 
visit to pick up 
some tricks of the trade for what promises to 
be one of the 
largest construction projects in the history 
of the world.
	The 27 Chinese engineers, economists and 
politicos 
from the Three Gorges Dam Project attended 
conferences 
sponsored by ASU and Salt River Project, 
where they learned 
about water management and problems 
associated with 
large-scale hydrological projects.
	"They came here as a delegation to learn 
from Arizona 
State and its resources, and Salt River 
Project and their 
resources," said Dr. Eric Thor, director of 
the ASU school of 
agribusiness. Thor said Arizona is recognized 
world-wide as 
a leader in water resource management.
	"Arizona is a good example for any 
country that wants 
to study water resources and how they should 
be used," said 
Edib Kirdar, an agribusiness faculty 
associate.
	"We came here to learn from the 
experiences of the 
American people in their construction 
efforts," said Hu 
Zhiyong, vice-director of the Sichuan Large 
Scale Hydro-
Power Office.
	"It is much easier to construct things 
here in America," 
Zhiyong said, "because you have guidelines 
and routes to 
follow. That is why we are here, to learn 
those guidelines."
	The Three Gorges Dam will be the largest 
construction 
project in modern history. The dam will take 
at least 17 years 
to build, and cost estimates run more than $8 
billion. Once 
completed, the dam is projected to produce 
17,000 megawatts 
of electricity, ten times more than the 
world's current largest 
producer of hydroelectric power, the Itaipu 
Dam on the 
border of Brazil and Paraguay.
	"This dam will supply the Chinese with 
an enormous 
amount of electrical power," said Dr. Mark 
Kuby, an associate 
professor of geography at ASU. "If it is 
completed, it may 
well be one of the wonders of the world." 
	The dam is also engineered to alleviate 
flooding along 
the Yangtze River, a problem that has plagued 
China for 
thousands of years.
	The dam also comes with a high human 
price tag. 
About 700,000 people will be displaced by the 
project, and 
more than 220,000 acres of farmland will be 
flooded by the 
dam.
	Timothy Wong, Director of Asian Studies 
at ASU, said 
that thousands of years of Chinese history 
will be "wiped out" 
when the dam in built. The dam will create a 
lake stretching 
more than 350 miles, and submerge many 
important 
archeological and cultural sites on Yangtze 
River.

"PICK IT AND WIN" CONTEST WINNER

*Dalgleish on the game: "It hurt watching the 
game. I thought Washington was 
going to blow them out. But up until the last 
three minutes, it looked like ASU 
was going to win the game. It was pretty 
frustrating. Jake Plummer had a great 
game. You can tell he is one of the best 
passers in the country."

*Dalgleish on ASU vs. UofA on Nov. 24: "I 
think we'll beat them. It'll be our 
offense against their defense. It's here (at 
ASU) and we'll have some support."

*Dalgleish's season prediction: 6-5. "I don't 
think that's wishful thinking."

Editorial: Welcome to The Jungle

	This Monday, we celebrated a much-needed 
holiday - 
Labor Day.
	But at the rate American labor is going, 
it would have 
been more aptly called Memorial Day.
	Labor unions in this country are, to 
pardon the 
expression, as dead as Jimmy Hoffa. And 
America is starting 
to feel the sting of a union-less workplace.
	We've already been through this one. 
Unions came 
about out of the hellish sweatshops, mines, 
slaughterhouses 
and factories of the late 19th and early 20th 
centuries. 
Workers endured grueling hours, inhumane 
working 
conditions and distressingly low pay.
	Businesses had to change their act only 
when workers 
banded together and forced them to do it. In 
their heyday, the 
unions won the 8-hour workday, work safety 
standards and 
minimum wage regulations.
	Kiss all of that goodbye. The bad old 
days are here 
again.
	The American worker is quickly making a 
return to 
these nightmares of history.
	The minimum wage law is under assault by 
overzealous Republican lawmakers. After all, 
$4.35 an hour is 
grossly unfair to employers. We need a return 
to the days 
when we paid workers a nickel an hour.
	The 40-hour work week is fast becoming 
little more 
than a dream for many Americans. Under the 
pressure-
cooker environment of our corporate culture, 
workers are 
being coerced to forgo family, friends and 
relaxation in the 
name of "the company."
	Show any reluctance to put in those 
extra hours, and 
you just might find yourself getting a pink 
slip. But it really 
doesn't matter if you do put those hours in, 
either. 
Nowadays, corporations are just as likely to 
fire employees 
near retirement just to save money on the 
pension.
	Now, even trying to form a union is a 
firing offense - 
just like in the bad old days.
	Stories abound of workers that tried to 
band together 
to stand up for better conditions, and 
quickly got fired for 
trying it.
	Unions are the last thing that stand 
between the 
American worker and the sweatshops.
	Unfortunately, we can think of no one 
else to blame for 
this nation's current slide downward than the 
unions 
themselves.
	Stories of union corruption, of 
extravagantly high 
union demands and of lazy union workers are 
well-known. 
To be sure, these stereotypical images of 
unions do not fit all 
union workers. But it is undeniable that such 
things were 
widespread - and that is what led to the 
downfall of 
American labor unions.
	The American public began to be afraid 
of unions, 
rather than viewing them as a necessary check 
to unbridled 
corporate exploitation of employees. And so, 
when the 
opportunity came, American voters began 
electing anti-union 
lawmakers. When anti-union laws began moving 
through 
legislatures, America cheered.
	The war is almost over. Labor is against 
the ropes, and 
big business is moving in for the kill.
	To get an idea what a union-less future 
could be like, 
read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.
	This is what life was like back when we 
had less 
government regulations in our life. And 
unless something is 
done, it will very likely happen again.
	Those who do not learn the lessons of 
history are doomed to repeat it.

Column: Seles' comeback labor of 'love'

Delia Maldonado
Columnist
	In my family there was baseball and 
there was football 
and nothing else. The Tigers and the Lions 
were our teams. 
The Pistons we could take or leave. 
	I remember going to games with my dad 
and my 
brothers and loving every minute of it. We 
usually sat in the 
bleachers but sometimes, if the game wasn't 
sold out, we 
would sneak down to the first base line. The 
tickets were 
$1.50 and usually we got a calendar, a hat or 
a ball just for 
showing up. 
	Alan Tramell and Lou Whittaker - they 
were the guys 
to watch. 
	I was the only girl in the family that 
would ever go to 
the games, but it never fazed me. I was never 
one to hang out 
with my sisters anyway. For them discovering 
a new shade of 
lipstick was better than any double play, and 
that suited me 
just fine. 
	But I always knew there was something 
missing. There 
were no women for me to look up to. All my 
role models 
liked to spit and grab their crotches. And 
while I had the 
spitting part down pat, a 10-year-girl just 
can't get away with 
doing that other thing.
	Then in high school I discovered tennis. 
I remember 
watching Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova 
and thinking 
how great it was to finally have women role 
models who 
played sports for a living just like men did. 
	Until then I never realized women could 
be 
professional athletes. It was just the 
awakening I needed. 
Tennis changed my political views as well. If 
women could 
play tennis as men did, then we should have 
the same rights 
everywhere else, too. 
	But it wasn't until Monica Seles came 
along that tennis 
became my religion. I watched every 
tournament and read 
everything I could about the game.
	Tennis wasn't just another sport for me. 
It was a way 
of gaining my independence. I could get on 
with my life 
away from my family and away from their 
traditions. I was 
discovering who I was and realizing I liked 
that person a lot 
more than the kid who liked to spit. 
	 For Seles, everything changed two and a 
half years 
ago during a tournament in Hamburg, Germany. 
I wasn't 
paying a lot of attention to this tournament. 
The outcome 
didn't interest me since it wasn't a grand 
slam. Little did I 
know some fanatic was going to make it the 
worst 
tournament of all. The man who brought Seles 
down was 
supposedly a fan of Steffi Graf. He wanted 
her to be number 
one and that meant taking Seles out of the 
running. 
	It was during this tournament that 
Gunther Parche, an 
unemployed lathe operator, waited in the 
stands. When Seles 
sat down during a changeover in the match, 
Parche ran onto 
the court and stabbed Monica Seles in the 
back with a nine-
inch blade. It was all over in matter of 
seconds. 
	When I first heard about it on the news 
that night, I 
didn't believe it. I watched the tape about 
17 times before it 
finally sunk in. Seventeen times before I 
finally sat down, put 
my head in my hands and cried. It sounds 
crazy, I know, but 
I felt as if someone had stabbed me in the 
back. Someone had 
robbed me of my idol. 
	After the stabbing, Seles left the 
circuit. She stopped 
playing tennis and I stopped watching. I just 
couldn't watch 
the game in the same way anymore. All the 
other players just 
went on playing and fans still came to watch 
them. 
	I couldn't. I had discovered that my 
hero was not 
invincible. She bled just like everyone else; 
she hurt just like 
anyone else.
	For Monica Seles, this comeback, after 
two and a half 
years of physical and psychological healing, 
is much more 
than just picking up where she left off. It's 
much more than 
just being number one again. It's about that 
other human 
quality that most people don't associate with 
heroes - love. As 
much as we love to watch, she loves to play. 
	Welcome back, Monica.

Snyder-Park 'impressed' with first sweep

No. 18 ASU volleyball easily cruises through 
Hilton/Sun 
Devil Challenge

By Dawn Wagner
State Press
	The No. 18 ASU volleyball team started 
its regular 
season last weekend by sweeping the 
competition at the 
Hilton/Sun Devil Challenge.
	Both St. Mary's College and Tennessee 
met the Sun 
Devils twice over the two-day tournament. 
	ASU opened their regular season Friday 
afternoon 
with a 3-0 victory in an exhibition game with 
St. Mary's 
College. 
	On Friday evening, ASU ended its first 
day of play 
with a 3-0 victory over Tennessee, 15-13, 15-
11, 15-4. Coach 
Patti Snyder-Park said she was very satisfied 
with the team's 
opening performance.
	"I was impressed with how composed we 
were," she 
said. "We kept a steady pace and we didn't 
play down to our 
opponents level.
	"It wasn't like we were a crisp machine 
but we were in 
total control."
	Senior outside hitter Christine Garner 
had 15 kills to 
lead the Sun Devils against the Lady Vols. 
Freshman outside 
hitter Jen Lucero added 10 kills to the 
team's total. Tennessee 
was lead by sophomore Jenny Meeks, who had 
nine kills.
	Snyder-Park said Lucero and freshman 
setter Jolynn 
Faatulu were two key players in the weekend's 
victories. 
Because the freshman were so new to 
collegiate style of play, 
Snyder-Park added she was suprised at how 
well they 
performed.
	"Jen and Jolynn had a lot of pressure on 
them," 
Snyder-Park said. "It was real nice to see 
how well they 
handled themselves."
	Lucero may have kept her composure on 
the surface, 
but she said she was filled with butterflies.
	"I was really nervous," she said. "I was 
playing with 
people I had never really played with before. 
The gym was 
incredible with the lighting and the people. 
I was very 
nervous."
	Lucero added that her butterflies calmed 
down the 
second day of play.
	On Saturday, she posted 13 digs to lead 
the Sun Devils 
to an easy 3-0 victory over the Gaels, 15-11, 
15-10, 15-7. 
	The Sun Devils finished off the 
tournament with a 3-0 
sweep over Tennessee Saturday night.
	In the 15-2, 15-7, 15-2 win, Faatulu 
said neither team 
really gave the Sun Devils a scare.
	"They weren't much of a threat," she 
said. "We 
expected to go in and play to our potential 
and we did. We 
took good care of our side of the net."

Snyder making sure ASU fooled for last time; Mustafa 'responds'

ASU football notebook

	ASU Head Coach Bruce Snyder hasn't ruled 
out 
anything when it comes to preparing for the 
home opener 
with UTEP on Saturday. 
	"We have to correct some things. There 
were some real 
glaring things from the Washington game that 
are priorities 
right now," said Snyder, who added the team 
is working on 
its defense of the trick play. "If we don't 
make them priorites, 
UTEP is going to try them. I don't care what 
it is. They're 
going to try it."
	Snyder, who has had a chance to review 
UTEP game 
film in the last two days, said defending 
against the mobility 
of starting quarterback John Rayborn was one 
of the focal 
points in practice this week.
	"They have a quarterback who can really 
run. We 
knew he could run because he was out here two 
years ago," 
said Snyder, referring to Rayborn's 
recruiting visit to ASU. 
"He's a good athlete."
	 The Sun Devils were interested in 
Rayborn, a 6-foot-2 
freshman who played his first college game 
last Saturday, but 
not enough to offer him a scholarship.
	Along with Rayborn and the possibility 
of the 
quarterback option play, ASU is perfecting 
its defensive 
execution on the power run and especially the 
play-action 
pass.
	Mustafa rebounding quickly
	Junior receiver Isaiah Mustafa, who had 
four 
receptions for 57 yards but also dropped 
three passes in his 
Division I debut against Washington, has 
returned to the 
practice field with a vengeance, Snyder said. 
	"He's really responded," he said of 
Mustafa, who 
transferred from Moorpark College in 
California. "Obviously 
there was a lot of embarrassment. He felt 
bad. He really 
thought he let the team down but he has 
responded very 
favorably in practice."
	Back-up tailback still tight race
	Sophomore tailbacks Michael Martin and 
Terry Battle 
split time on the second team in practice 
Tuesday, though 
Snyder has already indicated Martin got his 
attention against 
the Huskies.
	"He proved he can run. That's the first 
time he's played 
in a football game in two years," Snyder said 
of Martin, who 
gained 30 yards on 10 carries Saturday. "We 
still have to 
make sure we have the right guy back there."
	Senior tailback Chris Hopkins, who 
rushed for 34 
yards on 14 carries, has the starting spot.
	Note:  
	Redshirt-freshman Mitchell Freedman, who 
delivered 
an impressive first game at strong safety, 
did not practice 
Tuesday. He is suffering from a thigh 
contusion.
	"That's a concern," Snyder said.

Profile in courage: Dragoo back again

ASU sixth-year linebacker overcomes injuries, 
doubters

By Damian Shaw
State Press
	These days, Justin Dragoo doesn't mind 
talking about 
his injuries. They're in his past.
	Dragoo, the sixth-year senior linebacker 
for the Sun 
Devil football squad, has seen his share 
since his arrival in 
1991. Dragoo had almost two full seasons 
before he tore the 
anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee 
at the end of the 
1992 season. In the first game of 1993, he 
tore it again. After 
rehabilitation for the second tear, it was 
torn again in spring 
football. 
	Not to be daunted, Dragoo was back for 
the 1994 
season, but he tore his pectoral muscle in 
strength testing the 
day before fall football camp was to start.
	In January of this year, the NCAA 
granted Dragoo a 
rare sixth year of eligibility because of his 
extreme 
circumstances. Dragoo said that aside from 
the tendonitis he 
suffered early on at Camp Tontozona, 
everything has gone 
smoothly this year. 
	"The very first day of camp I had a 
little problem with 
my knee," he said. "We got that problem 
solved and ever 
since then it hasn't swelled. It hasn't been 
sore and I've just 
been going full speed on it in every 
practice." 
	Dragoo said he knows to make his knee 
feel fine for 
the rest of the season. 
	"I'm anticipating a completely healthy 
season and 
hopefully a winning season too," he said. 
"That's the thing 
that always makes your pain go away when you 
start 
winning games." 
	Dragoo and the rest of the Sun Devils 
had to learn a 
new defensive scheme this year, and Head 
Coach Bruce 
Snyder said Dragoo's first focus wasn't 
necessarily on 
learning the defense.
	"Dragoo has decided that he's going to 
be fast first," he 
said. "He might not be in the right place, 
but he's going to get 
there fast."
	While Dragoo was spending his time 
rehabilitating 
and recovering from various surgeries, he 
also found time to 
show up for a few classes. In his 
undergraduate career, he 
posted a 3.99 grade point average and was 
named the 
Outstanding Student in the ASU College of 
Business. That's 
all just second nature according to Dragoo, 
who is now an 
honors student in the College of Business.
	"School has always come really easy for 
me, but I think 
there is that part of my personality that 
really doesn't like to 
fail," he said. 
	Failing to think of the future is a 
stigma for many 
college athletes, but not for Dragoo who has 
has several 
options. 
	"If I get a chance to play in the NFL, 
it's going to be a 
bonus," he said. "It's something I'd like to 
do just like every 
other college player, but I've prepared for 
other careers just in 
case that doesn't happen."

Tempe police reported the following incidents 
over the 
holiday weekend:
* A man robbed Bank One, 2528 W. Southern 
Ave. He 
walked directly to the merchant window and 
was told by a 
clerk to get in line. He asked how to open a 
merchant 
account, but the clerk didn't know and told 
him he would 
have to talk to a service representative. He 
then told her, 
"Look, this is a robbery." The clerk handed 
the man the 20s 
and 10s in her drawer. The man asked for 
100s, but the clerk 
said she had none. The man then smiled at 
her, said, "Thank 
you," and fled. The robber is described as a 
40-year-old black 
man, 6 feet tall, thin, with short hair and a 
mustache.
* A man robbed a Bank of America branch in 
Smitty's, 3232 S. 
Mill Ave. He approached the teller and handed 
her a note 
demanding money. He took the money given to 
him, placed 
it in a folded newspaper and left the bank. 
No weapons were 
seen. The robber is described as a 30-year-
old black man, 5 
feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 160 
pounds.
* A 22-year-old man was arrested for 
endangerment after 
firing several shots from a car that was 
driving down Mill 
Avenue. After the car was stopped, the man 
fled and was 
later found at his apartment. Police also 
found two .40 caliber 
semi-automatic weapons in the apartment. The 
three other 
passengers in the car were charged with 
hindering arrest.
* A 15-year-old girl was arrested for car 
theft after stealing a 
car from a resident's driveway. An officer 
saw the theft and 
followed the car. He stopped the car at 3800 
S. Margo Drive 
and the girl, along with two other 
passengers, fled the scene. 
The girl ran into a carport and fired off one 
round from a .380 
pistol before being subdued by a canine 
officer. The girl 
suffered minor injuries. One of the 
passengers, another 
juvenile girl, was caught but the other 
passenger got away.
