Ryan's legacy

Mother of AIDS victim Ryan White shares 
memories with crowd of 200

By Tim Baxter
State Press
	Jeanne White, mother of teenage AIDS 
victim Ryan 
White, gave an emotional two-hour look into 
Ryan's 
struggles with disease and prejudice to a 
crowd of about 200 
in the Memorial Union Cinema Tuesday night.
	White, who became more active in AIDS 
education 
following Ryan's death, broke into tears as 
she spoke of the 
persecution Ryan faced in his fight to attend 
school.
	"I soon found no one knew anything about 
AIDS," 
White said, speaking of accusations that her 
son would infect 
others by spitting or sneezing on them.
	White said as an activist she had heard 
even more 
ignorance about AIDS.
	"I saw one man stand up and say he was 
sure you 
could get AIDS from a mosquito," White 
recalled. "The doctor 
said, 'Sure, you could, but you would have to 
have sex with the mosquito first.' "
	In addition to White's speech, there 
were video clips of 
Ryan. The presentation - put on in 
conjunction with 
Associated Students of ASU - also offered 
AIDS education literature and buttons.
	"I had a list of people who could come 
(to ASU), and 
Jeanne White interested me," said Mark 
Wendell, ASASU activities vice president.
	White, who makes about two presentations 
a week to 
high school and college students, said 
education is crucial in combating AIDS.
	"People think they're not at risk," she 
said. "If you have 
sex, then you are at risk of this disease. 
The people who are 
spreading it don't know they have it."

Professors help make microchip manufacturing cleaner, safer

By Kelly Wendel
State Press
	They are the wheels and gears that power 
modern 
society. They drive computers, telephones, 
pagers, control 
cars and help cook food.
	They're computer chips, some smaller 
than a 
fingernail, with microvolts of electricity 
flying across minute 
connections and calculating thousands of 
operations per 
second on a tiny wafer of silica.
	Producing them has always been a messy 
venture. 
Expensive manufacturing processes have used 
hazardous 
chemicals that harmed the environment and 
created 
hazardous waste.
	But a partnership between ASU and the 
micro-
electronics industry is pioneering new 
methods of 
environmentally conscious manufacturing to 
limit the 
production of toxic waste.
	"This is a conscious decision by the 
(micro-electronics) 
industry to become proactive rather than 
reactive," said 
Gregory Raupp, a chemistry professor at ASU.
	The ASU group recently suggested that a 
California-
based computer company use water in a hard 
drive 
manufacturing process rather than an 
expensive, toxic 
chemical. The changes saved them money and 
eliminated 
hazardous waste discharge, Raupp said.
	For many years, the micro-electronics 
industry did not 
factor the environment into the engineering 
equation, 
creating hazardous waste at the "end of the 
pipe," Raupp 
said. 
	The Tempe Motorola plant is a case in 
point. Toxic by-
products from manufacturing operations 25 
years ago led to a 
toxic plume in the ground water underneath 
Tempe, large 
fines for Motorola and major headaches for 
company 
officials.
	Although "those kind of (manufacturing) 
practices 
don't occur now," Raupp said, Motorola is 
"stuck with the 
problem."
	Raupp and his colleagues are studying 
manufacturing 
processes used in the micro-electronic 
industry in an effort to 
develop environmentally safer methods of 
producing 
computer chips.
	He is currently working on a proposal to 
cut 
hazardous material use in the production of 
interconnects - 
the tiny wires that link parts of the 
computer chip together. 
Any corporation making the chips could use 
this technology, 
he said.
	"Every one of the steps (in interconnect 
manufacturing) uses chemicals," he said. "By 
using 
environmentally conscious manufacturing, we 
have a goal of 
zero emissions.
	"We are in the business of understanding 
and 
characterizing processes from a fundamental 
chemistry 
viewpoint. If we can understand what it is 
about the process 
that produces an undesirable product, perhaps 
we can 
change the process."
	The industry is beginning to notice 
ASU's proposals.
	"I think they are trying very hard to 
find appropriate 
environmental technology areas that they can 
help apply to 
Motorola and the (micro-electronics) 
industry," said Don 
Tolliver, the environmental manufacturing 
manager at 
Motorola. "This is a realistic research 
transfer between 
university and industry."
	Firms using environmentally conscious 
manufacturing 
are also realizing these processes save 
money, Raupp said.
	"We are talking green," he said, "in the 
form of money."

Justice O'Connor to speak at law dinner

	U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day 
O'Connor is 
the featured speaker at the College of Law's 
annual Law 
Society dinner Sept. 22. Deadline for 
reservations is 5 p.m. 
today.
	Rhonda Sandler, College of Law senior 
business 
operations manager, said this will not be the 
first time 
O'Connor has spoken at ASU. She also attended 
the 25th 
anniversary dinner a few years ago. 
	"It was tremendous," Sandler said. "We 
had a large 
turnout, and she gave a wonderful speech.
	"We're very excited we got her back so 
soon."
	O'Connor, a former Maricopa County 
Superior Court 
judge, was appointed as the first woman 
Supreme Court 
Justice in 1981.
	Tickets for the dinner are $60, or $15 
for law students.

Arizona students launch effort to stop Congress from cutting financial aid

By Cody V. Aycock
State Press
	ASU will kick off a day of statewide 
events Thursday 
in an effort to thwart the proposed $17.8 
million in financial 
aid cuts being debated by Congress.
	A press conference will launch ASU's 
three-hour event 
encouraging students to contact their 
senators and have their 
voices heard. Events are also scheduled at 
UofA and NAU. 
	Associated Students of ASU and the 
Arizona Students' 
Association will provide phones on Hayden 
Lawn with a toll-
free number enabling students to contact 
their U.S. senator's 
office directly. A free fax service will also 
be offered for 
personal letters. 
	"We are hoping that with the phone bank 
and with the 
letter writing drive that the senators will 
take a look at 
student issues and see what students are 
going through," said 
Graham Lace, government relations director 
for ASASU. 
"Hopefully we can wake them up a little bit." 
	Paul Allvin, ASA executive director, 
said the events 
will focus on "students speaking out for 
themselves." 
	The House of Representatives voted Aug. 
4 to cut 
financial aid in a seven-year effort to 
balance the budget. The 
Senate is scheduled to vote on the cuts later 
this month.
	If the cuts pass the Republican-
controlled Senate, 
Democrats claim that 5 million undergraduates 
and 725,000 
graduate and professional students nationwide 
will pay more 
for their college loans. 
	Republicans deny that claim and say 
Democrats are 
using "scare tactics" to divert the public 
away from the real 
issue - balancing the budget. 
	Despite the debate in Washington, ASU 
activists are 
not taking any chances with what they call 
"America's 
future," Lace said.
	"This is extremely important because the 
more 
students we have out there actively involved, 
the more voices 
will be heard around the state and the 
country," said Mark 
Davis, the Arizona Board of Regents' student 
regent. "If 
federal aid is going to be cut, the burden 
will go back onto the 
state, and Arizona ... probably cannot meet 
that need."

Census jobs may fit into students' schedules

By Angela Mull
State Press
	Low unemployment and high temperatures 
have 
affected the number of Maricopa County 
special census 
applicants, but the Maricopa Association of 
Governments is 
confident it will fill the 5,600 positions, a 
MAG representative 
said.
	"We feel that we can still get the 
number we need and 
things are picking up," said Jan Dilley, 
special census 
coordinator with MAG. 
	The association activated a special 
census hotline last 
week to refer callers to a one-stop site to 
apply and test for 
the jobs, Dilley said, adding that about 
2,085 of the callers are 
scheduled to test. Prior to the hotline's 
activation, 3,800 
applications were received, and about 47 of 
the applicants are 
from the two zip codes ASU uses. 
	Since most people being counted are home 
evenings 
and weekends, the hours will be fairly 
flexible for students, 
said Ann Moeding-Evans, a human resources 
supervisor for 
Tempe who recruited census takers at ASU. 
	"It would be the ideal job for some 
students," she said. 
"They can go when it's convenient."
	However, Leon Bryant, a career services 
specialist 
senior, said students with busy schedules may 
find it difficult 
to juggle their studies and a census-taking 
job. 
	"I think it's an excellent opportunity, 
but I'm not sure 
how most students would be able to fit the 
time frame into 
their schedules," he said. 
	For every four applicants, only one will 
be hired, 
Dilley said. Because Maricopa County requires 
about 5,600 
census takers, MAG needs to build up a large 
applicant pool 
partly because some people may find jobs 
elsewhere after 
they apply, she said.
	Applicants must be either 18 years old 
or 16 if they are 
high school graduates or have a general 
education diploma. 
All applicants are required to take a 30-
minute test consisting 
of basic math skills and map reading. Hired 
census takers 
will be paid $7.50 an hour plus mileage and 
must be available 
from Oct. 4 through mid-November for 25 to 40 
hours a 
week. Anyone interested in applying can call 
the special 
census hotline at 258-4178 between 8 a.m. and 
8 p.m. daily. 
	Applicants will not be informed whether 
they have 
been hired until closer to the date the 
census begins, Dilley 
said. However, she added there is no cutoff 
date for 
applicants.
	"We need so many people that we 
anticipate recruiting 
during the census," Dilley said.

Editorial: Ryan White's legacy

	Last night in the Memorial Union, the 
mother of Ryan 
White - one of the earliest symbols of AIDS - 
spoke to ASU 
students. Her hope was to pass the legacy of 
her son on to 
students.
	Few people have a legacy as powerful or 
as enduring 
as Ryan White. He was the AIDS movement's 
most powerful 
spokesman until Magic Johnson's contraction 
of HIV in the 
early 1990s.
	From the time he contracted the virus in 
1985 to his 
passing in April 1990, White put a face to 
childhood AIDS 
like no one else ever had.
	White's life only lasted for 18 years - 
yet his was a 
profile in courage.
	Rather than surrendering to the virus, 
he lived more 
than four years longer than doctors believed 
he would. And 
in those five years of life, White changed 
America's 
perception of AIDS forever.
	The public knew very little about AIDS 
and HIV in 
1985. Back then, it was not common knowledge 
that the virus 
could only be spread by direct body fluid 
transfer.
	Americans feared catching the deadly new 
plague 
from a handshake, a kiss, a sneeze or a 
public restroom.
	Fearing the unknown, local parents put 
up a 
tremendous fight when White tried to attend 
public school in 
his hometown of Kokomo, Ind.
	White posed no threat to the other 
students - and 
rather than surrendering to the forces of 
ignorance, he chose 
to fight.
	When the battle ended, White won the 
right to attend 
public school - but, more importantly, he 
gave pediatric AIDS 
a face.
	White may be gone now, but to this day, 
he continues 
to save lives.
	His illness and death taught America 
that AIDS can 
strike anyone. AIDS was not merely something 
that gays or 
intravenous drug users had to worry about.
	Suddenly, Americans realized that AIDS 
could strike 
children, that AIDS could strike 
heterosexuals.
	In short, America realized for the first 
time that it 
really could happen to anyone - and that 
steps had to be 
taken to fight this new disease.
	By publicly battling for his rights, 
White also forced 
America to take a hard look at exactly how 
AIDS was spread.
	AIDS became less of a mystery in the 
mid-'80s, due in 
part to the publicity generated by White's 
battle.
	With him, the AIDS education movement 
was born - a 
movement that saves lives every day.
	HIV transmission via blood transfusions, 
once a huge 
public health concern, has dwindled down to 
practically nil 
since the mid-'80s. Seeing what could happen 
if the nation's 
blood supply was not properly screened 
spurred the creation 
of new HIV screening measures.
	Today, thanks to those measures, getting 
a blood 
transfusion is no longer a game of medical 
Russian roulette.
	And when White died, Congress gave birth 
to the 
Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources 
Emergency Act. 
Since its inception in 1990, this program has 
poured billions 
of dollars into the war effort against AIDS.
	Though many may not recall him, Ryan 
White's public 
crusade was partly responsible for the way we 
view AIDS 
today. 
	Ryan White may be gone, but his legacy 
endures.

Column: What is up with that?

At it again: Apparently inmates from the 
Maricopa County 
jail facilities are screaming abuse again. 
	The inmates claim that the jailers are 
manhandling 
them and treating them like dirt. 
	That's too bad. 
	But the U.S. Justice Department has 
decided to step in 
on their behalf to see if there is a pattern 
of abuse.
	Sheriff Joe Arpaio has the reputation as 
being the 
meanest sheriff in America for his no-
nonsense approach to 
criminals. His facilities have been under 
investigation before 
for allegedly violating inmates civil rights.
	He was called abusive, by inmates 
mostly, for 
eliminating such things as porno, coffee and 
cigarettes from 
the inmates' menu. They really began to shout 
abuse after he 
started serving them bologna sandwiches and 
making them 
live outside in tents during the dog days of 
summer. 
	Feel sorry for them yet? I don't.
	If the inmates are being manhandled - 
that's too bad. 
They should have thought about that before 
they broke the 
law. 
	Jail is not a resort or a vacation spot. 
It should be hell. 
Maybe next time they'll think twice before 
committing a 
crime.
Wear what you want: Two eighth-graders are 
fighting with 
Phoenix Preparatory Academy for the right to 
not adhere to 
the school's mandatory uniform policy adopted 
in May. They 
don't want to wear white-collar shirts and 
blue trousers, 
shorts or skirts.
	I say the school has a right to transfer 
the children 
somewhere else if they don't want to comply 
and that the 
uniform policy should be adopted by all 
schools.
	My family, like many families, didn't 
have money for 
fashionable clothes. It was either wear the 
hand-me-downs 
and K-Mart blue light specials or nothing. 
Maintaining high 
self-esteem, especially in high school where 
young adults 
tend to categorize and judge each other by 
their attire, was 
tough. 
	Bottom line - not all parents can afford 
Fila, Guess or 
Nike apparel. Wearing uniforms would save 
parents money 
while giving young people an equal stomping 
ground to start 
from. 
	Policing the media: Is it me or is The 
Arizona Republic 
completely clueless? 
	This past Sunday the Republic ran a 
story about Club 
411 in Tempe eliminating "Hip-Hop night" 
because some 
idiot decided to open fire on the  club's 
security manager.
	Apparently there were two separate 
reports of 
gunshots within a mile radius of each other 
last Tuesday. One 
of the incidents had supposed gang overtones 
to it.
	"Southwest Phoenix?" a Republic reporter 
writes. 
"Assume again. This is Mill Avenue in 
downtown Tempe, 
about 1 a.m. last Tuesday."
	What is up with that?
	Not all crimes happen in South Phoenix 
or on the West 
side. But those are the crimes that get the 
most press. There is 
a huge difference, people. 
	Those who live in South Phoenix aren't 
all gun-
slinging gang members ready to take somebody 
out. They 
aren't all destitute. They are normal people 
trying to make a 
living just like everyone else.

Column: Monopolies ruining public education

Gregg Pekau
Guest Columnist
	Each day, hundreds of thousands of 
children are 
condemned by both the state and federal 
governments. 
Children across America are forced to attend 
some of the 
most violent and useless schools in this 
country. And unless 
we see immediate education reform, we are 
giving up on 
another generation of Americans.
	What can parents do about this?
	 In most cases parents can do nothing. 
You see, these 
children who are being condemned are coming 
from poor 
neighborhoods and school districts. Their 
crime is that they 
were born on the wrong side of the tracks. 
Their parents 
cannot afford a nicer area to live, nor can 
they afford to send 
their children to private schools. 
	How did this happen? Well, that answer 
is quite 
simple. Our brilliant governments have 
decided to grant 
monopoly power to the school districts. 	
	Yes folks, that right. Monopolies are 
still alive in 
America. This means that local school 
districts are exempt 
from anti-monopoly laws because the 
government has 
granted the public education system the sole 
rights to 
distribute and supply education. So unless 
parents can afford 
to send their children to a private school, 
they are stuck with 
their neighborhood school district. 
	Our only chance for survival is to 
completely reform 
our public education system. We must move our 
monopoly-
based education system to a market-based 
system. What this 
means is that we open up our educational 
system to 
competition. For if there is one thing this 
country has learned 
it is that a free market is the most 
effective market.
	The reform should come in four steps. 
The first step is 
to grant vouchers to lower-income families. 
This will allow 
parents to chose whether to send their 
children to the local 
school district, another school district or 
maybe a private 
school. I'm not saying we should give 
everyone vouchers - 
yet. We need to start with those children who 
are the worst 
off.
	Next, every state needs to pass a 
charter school law. 
This allows outside organizations to come in, 
design and run 
a school. They are required to abide by all 
state and federal 
laws, but they have many freedoms that our 
current public 
schools do not. It doesn't have to guarantee 
teachers tenure, a 
problem some school districts run into.
	The charter schools will set the 
requirements for the 
teachers, develop the curriculum, and will 
write their 
budgets. These freedoms will give schools 
more options and 
a chance to move away from many of the 
problems our 
public schools face today. Fortunately, 
Arizona has just 
begun its first year with charter schools.
	The third step is for the state 
governments to pass a 
receivership bill. A receivership bill is a 
report card for 
schools. Each year the schools and districts 
must submit all 
figures on graduation rates, dropout rates, 
promotion rates, 
standardized test results, etc. 
	If the government finds that a school is 
deficient is 
some or all of these areas, they place the 
school into 
receivership. The school is given a set 
amount of time to 
improve. If they it does not improve, an 
outside organization 
takes over. This organization could be a 
charter school, local 
group or maybe even another school district. 
After the new 
organization takes over, the district will be 
given the chance 
to improve the system. 
	Finally, we must go back to the basics 
in education. 
We need to teach all children how to read, do 
math, write and 
how to formulate thoughts. When we compare 
our national 
scores with tests to those of other nations, 
we get slaughtered. 
This is a warning signal that we need to fix 
things now. 
	No one can deny the fact that our 
education system is 
hurting. But don't give up yet. The system 
can be reformed 
by following these four steps. And when this 
happens, we 
will be giving our future generations the 
tools necessary to 
keep America on top of the world.

Letters to the Editor

Letter: Reader's letter should not become policy

	After reading the article "Basking in 
quiet hypocrisy," I 
am curious if this is the reason there was 
not an 
advertisement for Castle Boutique in the 
Monday's edition of 
the State Press. 
	Casey Christopher pleads for the State 
Press to "choose 
a position concerning pornography and 
violence." The 
question I now have in my mind is whether one 
person's 
letter has decided policy for the State 
Press. I wonder what 
your advertising pages would look like if 
someone wrote a 
letter condemning alcohol and the places that 
served alcohol. 
Would you then not run ads from local bars 
and clubs?
	I think the types of ads a newspaper 
decides to run 
should be its own business. I also think the 
paper should not 
be radically left or radically right. In my 
opinion, a college 
paper should try to be in the center, 
reporting stories of 
interest to the students and providing a 
forum for debate on 
the editorial pages. 
	Christopher would rather the paper be 
one way or the 
other and cease to represent diversity among 
its pages. The 
one thing Christopher has forgotten, though, 
is that in this 
country everyone is free to make a choice for 
what they 
believe to be correct. 
	My suggestion is not to try to change 
the content of the 
paper, but to make the choice to read it or 
not to read it. That 
is one of the major principles this country 
was founded on - 
freedom of choice.
	I hope the State Press is free of 
pressure and control in 
that it does not allow its readers to shape 
it according to their 
own vision. A paper should be independent and 
be accepted 
on its own merits - the product it publishes. 
It would be sad 
indeed for policy to be set by the readers of 
the paper instead 
of the paper controlling its policy for the 
readers to ponder.

ASU wants to silence trash-talking UofA

Sun Devil volleyball team bound for Tucson to 
face Wildcats in first 'challenge'

By Dawn Wagner
State Press
	Both teams are undefeated.
	Both boast at least a top-20 national 
ranking.
	Both are competing in their first Pac-10 
game of the season. 
	So when the ASU volleyball team travels 
to Tucson 
today to face UofA, the game will most likely 
turn out to be 
much more than a typical school rivalry.
	"This is really for who gets bragging 
rights in the 
state," ASU Coach Patti Snyder-Park said. 
"Every year it 
seems like there's always something on the 
line when we play UofA."
	This year is no exception.
	ASU holds the all-time series record 
against the Wildcats, 29-19. 
	The game, which begins at 7 p.m. at 
McKale Center, 
will be the first time ASU has played a 
ranked team this 
season and also its first real challenge, 
said senior outside 
hitter Christine Garner.
	"This is a big game because it is the 
first big marker of 
a quality team," she said. "The ability of 
the teams we've 
played so far is OK, but the quality of the 
Pac-10 is so different.
	"The fact that it's against UofA makes 
it that much 
more fun. Obviously, there's a huge rivalry 
there."
	The entire volleyball team has been 
anticipating the 
game all year, said sophomore outside hitter 
Terri Cox.
	"I think this game is huge," she said. 
"We're pretty 
pumped. I think a lot of it is just the fact 
that a lot of the girls 
we're playing against, we've been playing 
since before college."
	One UofA player the Sun Devils will be 
looking at 
closely tonight is junior outside hitter Barb 
Bell, who is 
averaging 5.55 kills per game. 
	"We need to shut her down early," 
Snyder-Park said. 
"She's not the heart and soul of the team, 
but she sparks their offense."
	Garner added that as long as they can 
keep pounding 
at her, the Sun Devils should be able to keep 
her down.
	"She's very breakable," Garner said. "If 
we put her 
under pressure and we shut her down, she gets 
flustered. It's 
very important for us to take her out early."
	One other thing the Sun Devils will have 
to deal with 
is the chattering that will be coming at them 
from across the net.
	"The UofA girls talk a lot of stuff," 
Cox said. "We just 
can't let ourselves stoop down to their 
level. They like to talk 
a lot of stuff through the net."

Sun Devils not fearful of No. 2 Cornhuskers

ASU football notebook

By Dan Miller
State Press
	The ASU football team's date with 
defending national 
champion Nebraska is now only three days 
away, and Head 
Coach Bruce Snyder said the Sun Devils got 
their first real 
taste of what they were up against in an 
enlightening film 
session Tuesday afternoon.  
	"I think they really appreciate how good 
they are," 
Snyder said, referring to his team's 
perception of the No. 2 
Cornhuskers, who host ASU (1-1) Saturday in 
Lincoln. "They 
saw them for the first time today in terms of 
on tape in a 
meeting where we could run it back and 
forth... I think there 
is an admiration, a respect there.
	 "I don't think there will be any fear, 
but there's an 
uncertainty. Because (with) a team like that, 
you do a couple 
things wrong and they're touchdowns."
	Snyder, who had the scout team 
simulating 
Cornhusker formations while wearing navy blue 
practice 
jerseys Tuesday, said the initial results 
were understandably 
lacking. 	
	"It was about like a normal Tuesday is," 
he said. "They 
(Nebraska) play a different scheme than 
either of the first two 
teams (we've played) so they were trying to 
find the right guy 
to block and it slows your tempo. I would 
think (Wednesday) 
would be much more aggressive than today."
	Special teams important
	Aside from Nebraska's explosive offense, 
Snyder said 
the Huskers also excel in special teams' 
play, which may turn 
out to be pivotal Saturday. 
	 "I look at special teams closely. I'm 
involved in every 
aspect," he said. "I always look for where's 
there's an edge. 
They (Nebraska) just have really good effort. 
They're well-
coached. They have really good athletes (and) 
they don't hurt 
themselves. They have good return 
specialists.
	"There's really probably no edge-for us-
in any of the 
three categories (kickoffs, punts or field 
goals)."
	Snyder said the Huskers utitize several 
defensive 
backs and linebackers are on their coverage 
units, which 
make them extremely quick.
	"Fright Night update"
	 Snyder said redshirt-freshman safety 
Mitchell "Fright 
Night" Freedman, who did not play against 
UTEP last week 
because of a thigh contusion and had not 
practiced in over a 
week until Tuesday, was not 100 percent. 
Whether or not he 
will be ready to play against the Huskers 
remains to be seen, 
he said.
	"If I listen to him, there's no doubt," 
Snyder said of 
Freedman, who would start at strong safety. 
"But until I see 
him go full speed, I guess there is some 
question."
	If Freedman can't start, freshman Damien 
Richardson, 
who started the UTEP game, would get the 
call.
	Sophomore Thomas Simmons, whom Snyder 
praised 
for his play during 44 snaps last week, is 
scheduled to start at 
free safety. Simmons had previously lost his 
starting job to 
senior B.J. Alford for the UTEP game. Alford 
is currently 
nursing a shoulder-sprain he suffered against 
the Miners and 
is unable to wear pads in practice. 
	Soward on road back
	Senior right cornerback Marcus Soward, 
who injured 
his groin at Camp Tontozona and has not fully 
recovered, 
causing him to miss the UTEP game and most of 
the 
Washington game, appears to be approaching 
full speed, 
Snyder said. 
	"Marcus ran pretty well today," he said. 
"He's not in 
real good shape so he's fatigued. But that 
will help us when 
he comes back."	
	Double-hit
	Sophomore starting left guard Kyle 
Murphy and his 
freshman back-up Mike Barnes both suffered 
injuries at 
practice Tuesday. Murphy sprained his ankle 
and Barnes hurt 
his shoulder. Snyder said he would assess the 
situation 
today.
	No word on Rashada
	Senior strong safety Harlen Rashada, who 
was 
indefinitely suspended from the team two 
weeks ago for 
leaving the practice field early without 
permission from 
Snyder, still remains under scutiny.
	Snyder said he had spoken with Rashada 
since his 
suspension, but there were no changes as of 
Tuesday. 
	"It's indefinite," he said.
	Rashada, who was slated as the starting 
strong safety 
prior to camp, was informed he had lost his 
starting job to 
Freedman two days before his suspension.
	National spotlight
	With most of the Nebraska team being 
shielded from 
the media this week because of the 
controversies surrounding 
three members, the Huskers' media contingent, 
which rivals 
that of the White House Press Corps., has had 
to look 
elsewhere for preview stories. 
	As a result, the Sun Devil media 
relations office has 
been flooded with interview requests for ASU 
players for use 
in Nebraska newspapers, said ASU Director of 
Media 
Relations Mark Brand. Quarterback Jake 
Plummer, 
linebackers Scott Von Der Ahe and Justin 
Dragoo, receiver 
Keith Poole, tailback Chris Hopkins, 
assistant coaches Phil 
Snow and Dan Cozzetto and Snyder have all 
been subjects of articles this week.

Clarification:

To clarify an article on page 15 of Tuesday's 
State Press regarding allegations against 
track coach Leonard 
Braxton, ASU officials must conclude there 
was wrongdoing 
through their current internal investigation 
before any 
information is forwarded to the Pac-10 or 
NCAA, both of 
which have no involvement in the matter at 
this time. Also, 
track assistant coaches Steve Lemke, Tom 
Doyle and Ken Lehman, who originally 
refused to sign the NCAA 
compliance form stating there had been no 
rules violations by 
the track program in the 1994-95 year, have 
since signed the 
form. Their original refusal to sign 
triggered the internal investigation.

ATTENTION ASU FOOTBALL FANS: IT'S WEEK THREE

Jake Plummer 
poster schedule of courtesy of ASU athletics,

bonus prize.
	If none of the contestants in a given 
week predict the 
exact score, then the winner will be 
determined by which 
contestant comes closest. 
	In the event of a tie, the winner will 
be drawn out of a 
hat. However each person in the tie will be 
recognized.
