Simulator gives students safe drunk-driving experiences

By Kelly Wendel
State Press
	ASU students got a taste of driving 
drunk - without 
catching a buzz - during Friday's 
demonstration of the 
Chrysler Corp.'s drunk driving simulator as 
part of Alcohol 
Awareness Week.
	The simulator is a l995 Plymouth Neon, 
specially 
modified to respond as if the driver is 
drunk. Utilizing a 
complex system of computer-controlled 
solenoid valves, 
braking and steering are delayed, recreating 
the slowed 
physical and mental response a drunk driver 
would have.
	With the punch of a computer key, the 
vehicle turns 
from a normal car into a careening hunk of 
out-of-control 
metal and plastic.
	"Once the car goes in the drunk mode, 
they (drivers) 
are scared to death," said program 
coordinator Gerard 
Dolhancryk. "When they are in the vehicle, 
you'll see the 
white knuckles. They are trying to oversteer 
and 
overcompensate and wrestle with the steering 
wheel. It's a 
scary feeling being out of control for those 
10 or 15 seconds." 
	Participants negotiated a 150-ft. by 
200-ft. course 
marked out with orange pylon cones set up in 
Lot 17, near 
Apache and College. Pop-up silhouettes 
represented 
pedestrians in the driver's path. Under a 
zero blood-alcohol 
level, drivers had ample time to avoid 
hitting the silhouettes, 
but as an increasing number of drinks were 
entered into the 
computer, the task became tougher. 
	"I wiped out a bunch of cones," said 
graduate student 
Rachel Hollingsworth. "I ran over a little 
kid with my two 
front tires."
	About every participant did the same. 
Drivers kept 
course volunteers busy replacing knocked-over 
pylons, and 
were continuously running over the pop-up 
silhouettes. 
	However, some participants thought the 
demonstration lacked realism. 
	Matthew Ledyard, an undecided sophomore, 
said the 
simulation was "actually pretty fun, but it's 
not really drunk 
driving. I know people who have and that's 
not exactly it."
	But others were more enthusiastic about 
the 
demonstration vehicle and the message it 
sends.
	"I thought it was a good idea to have 
this set-up here," 
said graduate student Ganesh Balalibran. 
"People need to 
know that no matter how good a driver you 
are, your body is 
intoxicated. It is important to realize how 
badly they are 
going to drive when they are drunk and what 
kind of danger 
they are going to pose."
	Dolhancryk said if the demonstration 
saves just one 
life, it is worth it. 
	"I think it is a sobering experience," 
he said. "You are 
still going to have people that don't listen 
to anything and 
think they can drive drunk, and they are the 
ones that going 
to end up killing people, but I am sure we 
affect people. They 
think before they get into a car with someone 
who has been 
drinking or before they drive themselves."

202 Freeway extends to Price Road

By Angela Mull
State Press
	Drivers weary of winding lines of rush-
hour traffic 
exiting the Red Mountain Freeway (State 
Highway 202) at 
McClintock Drive will get some relief with 
the opening of the 
freeway's link to Price Road today.
	"It should ease a lot of surface 
streets, both the major 
streets and cut-through traffic through 
neighborhood streets," 
said Ed VanDerGinst, city of Tempe assistant 
traffic engineer.
	Rush hour traffic on McClintock and 
University Drives 
and Scottsdale/Rural Road will be less 
congested, he said.
	In addition, the connection will give 
drivers a new 
freeway route to the East Valley with access 
to Loop 101. The 
link is the biggest transportation news for 
the Valley in the 
last five years, said Robert Johnson, an 
Arizona Department 
of Transportation spokesman.
	"Until now, people who commute have only 
had one 
route," he said. "Now they have a choice." 
	The Red Mountain Freeway, which provides 
a route 
from Mesa and Tempe to downtown Phoenix, 
opened east of 
Priest Drive last spring, a move VanDerGinst 
said was 
premature.
	"Our contention all along was it should 
not open past 
Priest Drive until this (Price Road) opening 
because of all of 
the traffic at the end of the freeway dumping 
on McClintock 
and Scottsdale," he said.
	Although he does not know how many 
accidents 
occurred as a result of this traffic 
congestion exiting Red 
Mountain on McClintock Drive, VanDerGinst 
said there has 
probably been an increase. The link to Price 
Road should 
reduce accidents, he said. 
	In addition to reducing traffic 
congestion in Tempe, 
the link will also reduce travel time to and 
from downtown 
Phoenix with improved traffic movement on the 
Superstition 
Freeway and Red Mountain, said Walter Gray, 
an ADOT 
community relations officer.
	"It should make it safer for everybody 
and less 
frustrating because there won't be as much 
stop-and-go 
traffic," he said.

Guide rates ASU dance with best in country

By Brian Anderson
State Press
	ASU's dance department in the College of 
Fine Arts 
graced the pages of a very reputable college 
guide for having 
one of the best dance programs in the 
country.
	The Performing Arts Major's College 
Guide "highly 
recommended" the dance program in its second 
edition 
released last month. The dance program was 
one of 18 
schools that received praise from the guide, 
including Ohio 
State University, New York University's Tisch 
School of 
Performing Arts and the Juilliard School, one 
of the most 
prestigious performing arts institutions in 
the country. 
	J. Robert Wills, dean of the College of 
Fine Arts, said 
he was pleased with the guide's impression of 
the school.
	"I think it's terrific that somebody 
thinks our dance 
program is one of the best in the country," 
he said. "It's 
always better to be in those lists than not 
in them. It's even 
more desirable to be high on the list."
	Wills added that the exposure the dance 
department 
receives from the guide will attract more 
exemplary faculty 
members and some of the nation's top dance 
students.
	Pamela Matt, acting chair in the dance 
department, 
said dance students have something to be 
proud of. 
	"It think that it (the ranking) gives 
our students a little 
edge and a little pride and maybe puts a 
well-deserved chip 
on their shoulders," she said. 
	The guide was produced using data 
compiled from 
questionnaires sent to 700 colleges and 
universities across the 
country. Survey participants were also asked 
to provide 
candid comments about the strengths and 
weaknesses of 
individual dance programs.
	Betsy Browning, who graduated from the 
college in 
1995, said she believes the dance program is 
highly regarded 
because it is well rounded.
	"Most conservatory programs focus on 
just the 
movement aspect and not so much of the 
theory, the history 
and the philosophy of it, " she said. "We do 
all of that here, 
and we do it at an excellent level."

Yawn! Visiting professor analyzes inner workings of boring conversations

By David J. Kovacs
State Press
	Do you find yourself getting stuck in 
conversations 
that are about as exciting as watching grass 
grow?
	Well, you're not alone. Just ask Geoff 
Leatham.
	Leatham, a visiting associate professor 
of 
communications from the University of Hawaii-
Manoa, is 
doing research at ASU on the dynamics of 
boring 
conversations.
	"My particular interest in boring 
conversations is that 
everybody's boring some of the time and 
nobody's boring all 
of the time," Leatham said. "Being boring in 
a conversation is 
just about the worst that you can get if 
you're purpose for 
being there is just to enjoy each other's 
company."
	Leatham said his research emphasizes 
that two people 
construct a conversational relationship in 
which they both 
contribute.
	"It's almost like creating a unique 
world that you both 
exist in for the duration of your 
conversation," he said.
	Determining whether or not a 
conversation is boring 
occurs non-verbally, Leatham said.
	Two people produce non-verbal cues of 
excitement or 
boredom in a conversation, he said, and 
monitor each other 
for the same cues. In a boring conversation, 
speakers make 
less eye contact and speak in a slower, more 
monotone voice.
	Assessing these cues occurs 
unconsciously for most 
people.
	"You've learned through being in so many 
conversations in your life that the other 
person's bored, so 
you start giving cues that you're bored," 
Leatham said. "I pick 
those up and that lowers my energy level and 
it's a negative 
feedback process."
	So what do you do if you find your 
conversations in a 
nose-dive?
	"There's an opportunity there for you to 
reverse that 
feedback cycle because the same thing can 
happen in 
reverse," Leatham said.
	Effective band-aids for boring 
conversations include 
changing the topic, speaking more 
flamboyantly and not 
focusing the conversation on yourself, he 
said.
	"If I start showing a little energy and 
enthusiasm, say 
with a topic change, my rate picks up, my 
vocal variation 
picks up and I use more hand gestures," he 
said. "Then that 
excitement is contagious.
	"All of a sudden, your having a great 
conversation. 
You don't know where the night's gone. The 
coffee's cold in 
your cup and you just spent a great hour and 
didn't realize 
the time was passing."

Regents smoke attempt to ban alcohol, tobacco use in University dorms

By RuthAnn Hogue
State Press
	The Arizona Board of Regents will not 
ban alcohol and 
tobacco use in Arizona university residence 
halls, despite 
efforts by one parent association to enact 
tougher rules.
	Philip Barnett, former president of the 
Northern 
Arizona University Parent Association, wrote 
several letters 
last fall to the presidents of the three 
state universities and to 
the Arizona Board of Regents. Speaking for 
several members 
of the group, Barnett urged the regents to 
take advantage of 
their legal authority to tighten up 
substance-use policies. 
	In a November 1994 letter to then-ABOR 
President Art 
Chapa, he wrote that "NAU's on-campus housing 
produces 
an environment that can be described as 
unhealthy at best, 
and probably dangerous.
	"There seems to be little doubt or 
question that 
substance abuse and smoking are major 
contributors to both 
unhealthy and unsafe conditions."
	The letter stated that tougher substance 
abuse policies 
are needed not only at NAU, but at all three 
Arizona state 
universities and demanded action.
	"If things continue as is, you not only 
invite some 
incredible lawsuits, you make the term 
'residence life' the 
ultimate oxymoron," Barnett wrote.
	The Council of Presidents and Regents 
said Barnett's 
plan for totally alcohol- and tobacco-free 
residence halls was 
too extreme to consider. However, his letters 
did prompt 
them to look into current policies and 
practices at all three 
campuses.
	The investigation's goal was to discover 
how each 
campus handles alcohol and tobacco use, and 
to see if any 
corresponding ABOR policy adjustments were 
needed, said 
Jim Rund, associate vice president of student 
affairs at ASU.
	The Council of Presidents, which 
includes the 
presidents of the three state universities, 
will present a report 
based on the study to the ABOR in Flagstaff 
this month, 
describing current substance policies for 
residence halls as 
"appropriate and adequate." 
	Barnett could not reached for comment on 
the 
decision.
	ABOR policies already ban student 
alcohol 
consumption on all three campuses - with most 
residence hall 
rooms as the only exception. Some residence 
halls restrict 
drinking and smoking in designated areas. 
Those that do 
require students to sign contracts agreeing 
to abide by the 
code.
	State officials justify the more liberal 
policies on the 
universities' historical reliance on state 
laws to restrict 
students' alcohol and tobacco use.
	ABOR officials are not certain whether 
tougher rules, if 
adopted, could be legally enforced, said Don-
Paul Benjamin, 
assistant for academic and student affairs.
	"This person (Barnett) wants to be very 
restrictive," he 
said. "There is a state law that says if you 
are of legal age, in 
the privacy of your own dorm room, you can 
drink unless 
you have signed a contract. That is what the 
issue is."
	Ralph Spritzer, a professor in the 
College of Law, 
disagreed.
	"I don't think there is any question 
that the University 
would have authority to regulate the use of 
alcohol in 
University buildings," he said. "The regents 
have authority to 
adopt reasonable regulations concerning the 
activities at 
university buildings."
	So far at ASU, drinking, smoking and 
chewing tobacco 
are only banned on two wellness floors in 
Ocotillo Residence 
Hall. Manzanita has two smoke-free floors.
	NAU and the UofA also have limited 
substance-free 
campus housing.
	"Almost all of this is student-driven, 
whether it's the 
residence hall associations or individual 
students or wings of 
halls that have done this," said Don-Paul 
Benjamin, assistant 
for academic and student affairs with the 
ABOR.
	"It's just that students are coming out 
of social 
awareness programs in high school, and they 
are looking at 
residence halls as a place where they live, 
obviously, and 
saying, 'Couldn't there be some more healthy 
lifestyle?' "
	Although the ABOR and the Council of 
Presidents 
have no plans to tighten restrictions, Rund 
said students 
could enact such changes.
	"If there was a high demand in favor of 
that type of 
accommodation articulated by the students, we 
would look 
to make that kind of change, as I know the 
other universities 
would," Rund said.
	At least one ASU student wouldn't mind 
if drinking 
and smoking were totally banned in residence 
halls.
	"Personally, I don't see why that would 
be a problem 
because there are so many public places you 
could go to 
drink," said Jennifer Pullos, president of 
the Cholla Residence 
Hall Council. "It's just respectful of those 
people who cannot 
or who choose not to."
	Pullos, 23, who is a sophomore majoring 
in justice 
studies, said she favors adding more wellness 
floors like 
those in Ocotillo because it would offer more 
options for 
students.
	Keith Touchet, a second-year industrial 
management 
graduate student and president of the 
Mariposa Ocotillo 
Residence Hall Council, said he sees things 
differently.
	He said it would be unfair to restrict 
drinking and 
smoking in one residence hall unless it is 
restricted in all of 
them. Touchet said he fears that some 
students might be 
forced to sign an agreement they couldn't 
live up to just to 
get into a room because of limited on-campus 
housing.
	"You can't restrict them to something 
they can't just 
quit right now," Touchet said. "It's really 
tough to quit."
	Additionally, the preferences of 
students can change 
drastically from semester to semester.
	"Last semester, the whole floor was 
almost always 
drinking," Touchet said. "(This semester), a 
lot of it goes on 
behind closed doors, so you don't really know 
what is going 
on unless you talk to some of them."
	For the present, ASU students do not 
need to worry 
that things will change, Rund said.
	"We acknowledge students as adults and 
want to 
afford them all the rights and privileges 
that come with those 
legal definitions that apply," he said.
	Benjamin agreed.
	"If students now enjoy drinking in their 
residence and 
if they are of age, I don't think they need 
to be worried about 
any twists and turns this might take because 
that option, for 
the foreseeable future, would always be 
available to students 
who are of age." 

Editorial: Day of Atonement

	The "Day of Atonement" has arrived.
	Today, an event unlike any since 1963 
will occur in the 
nation's capital. Today, up to one million 
African-American 
men will converge on Washington, D.C. under 
the banner of 
atonement, responsibility and unity.
	The theme of today's march is one that 
the African-
American community has sorely needed.
	This community is one that faces many 
demons, both 
within and without.
	African Americans face many stereotypes 
within 
American society. In the media, more often 
than not, they are 
portrayed as shiftless, uneducated or 
predisposed to drug use 
and violent crime.
	Of course, to assume that such 
stereotypes apply to the 
entire group is ridiculous. Yet some within 
this community 
are doing their best to reinforce it.
	The surest enemies of the African-
American 
community are those who would tear it apart 
from within.
	There is a minority within this minority 
- one that has 
turned inner-city African-American 
neighborhoods into 
slaughterhouses, and made young Black men 
eight times 
more likely to be murdered than their White 
counterparts.
	As long as this detestable minority-
within-minority 
continues to desert families, peddle drugs, 
discourage 
education and engage in fratricidal warfare, 
the African-
American community will struggle to shake 
free of crippling 
stereotypes.
	Today's march is a step in the right 
direction. By 
presenting a united, peaceful, determined 
front, Black men 
can wrest control away from those that would 
destroy their 
communities.
	A day of atonement - a day for the Black 
man to look 
at a past ridden by bloody strife, broken 
families and crime, 
and to put it behind him forever.
	A day of responsibility - a day for the 
Black man to 
look inside himself for the strength to make 
himself and his 
community the best that it can be.
	A day of unity - a day for the Black man 
to be proud of 
his rich heritage, and to unite with others 
within his 
community to make the changes that need to be 
made - to 
take back the neighborhoods torn by violence.
	The cause and the day are a noble one. 
Too bad the 
man organizing the march isn't.
	Louis Farrakhan has demonstrated quite 
clearly this 
week that he has some atoning to do today as 
well.
	By blasting Jews, Arabs, Koreans and 
Vietnamese as 
"bloodsuckers" of the Black community, 
Farrakhan engaged 
in the very behavior that has caused so much 
harm to his 
community - the stereotyping of people based 
solely on their 
ethnicity.
	Farrakhan should think carefully about 
what he has 
said. After all, other groups have used Jews 
as scapegoats for 
political reasons before.
	In the 1930s, Adolf Hitler used the 
stereotype of the 
"bloodsucking Jew" to whip Germans into a 
frenzy of hatred, 
and unite them behind his Nazi party.
	Remember how that one ended, Mr. 
Farrakhan? Six 
million Jews were butchered because of this 
stereotype - six 
times the number that you hope to have in 
Washington 
today.
	On this day, racial stereotyping is the 
one thing we all 
must atone for.
	If we do not, this day will have been in 
vain.

Column: Racial tension not so Black and White

Enrique Chaurand
Columnist
	Race relations between Whites and Blacks 
have been 
heavily intensified by the verdict of the 
Simpson trial. Now 
all of America seems to be concerned about 
how Whites and 
Blacks are going to come to terms with the 
not only 
Simpson's acquittal, but also with one 
another. Lost in this 
whirlwind of hoopla and racial tension is the 
Latino.
	For the past year and a half, the Latino 
population 
(namely the Mexican) has been the target of 
racist acts and 
Republican politicians. Many Mexican people 
are still 
suffering from California's Proposition 187, 
the dissemination 
of affirmative action, or the pesticides 
killing the children of 
migrant farm workers and daily racist acts 
from mainstream 
America.
	All of these issues are of great concern 
to the Latino 
population, but also to the citizens of this 
country. One 
victory that Latinos have won is the 
announcement made by 
California Gov. Pete Wilson two weeks ago. 
Wilson 
announced he has dropped his name from the 
presidential 
race because of lack of funds in his 
campaign. This was a 
small but sweet victory. 
	Affirmative action has hit close to home 
for all Arizona 
students. As many of you know, the Arizona 
Board of 
Regents held hearings last week to consider 
dismantling 
affirmative action programs in Arizona 
schools. I was proud 
to see so many brown and black faces in the 
crowd to oppose 
this idiotic and racist idea.
	And for those of you who don't know, the 
food that 
you eat everyday on this campus is picked by 
migrant farm 
workers in the Southwest, West Coast and 
Midwest. These 
farm workers are Mexicans who move from state 
to state to 
pick seasonal crops. A very famous Arizonan 
by the name of 
Cesar Chavez, a former farm worker, dedicated 
his life to 
better the lives of these exploited and hard-
working people. 
Although Chavez made many strides in social 
and political 
reforms for farm workers, there is still much 
to be done.
	What I really want to focus on in this 
particular article 
was the daily racist and ignorant acts 
targeted at Latinos. 
	If you were to see me, your first 
reaction would be, 
"You're Mexican? But you look like you're 
White." Believe 
me, you would say this because that has been 
the reaction of 
everyone I have ever met. Since I look like 
the average white 
person, you would think that no one would 
ever call me a 
"wetback" or a "spick," right? Well, 
unfortunately I have been 
called both of those and a few other names.
	A few years ago, I was outside of my 
family's 
restaurant sweeping the sidewalk when this 
man pulled up 
to ask a Mexican woman for directions to 
downtown. The 
woman spoke no English and obviously could 
not 
understand him. The woman tried to tell him 
that she 
couldn't understand him and called me over to 
help him. So I 
walked over to the car and this man thanked 
me for coming 
over to help him because this stupid Mexican 
woman 
couldn't speak his language. After he made 
his racist 
comment I proceeded to give him directions to 
downtown in 
Spanish and gave him a few choice words in 
his language of 
English. Last I heard he was still driving 
around the barrio 
looking for downtown.
	This summer, a similar incident happened 
to me while 
waiting for my car to be washed. I was 
sitting in the waiting 
area in a Scottsdale car wash with another 
gentleman. As 
many of us know, the majority of the people 
who work at car 
washes are Mexican. Well, this particular 
gentleman sitting 
with me had locked his door to his car while 
the employees 
put it through the automatic car wash. When 
it was time for 
one of the men to drive the car to the side 
to dry it, he set off 
the alarm because the doors were locked.
	The poor man (who spoke no English and 
was new) 
was panicking because another car was coming 
through the 
car wash and was about to hit the one that 
was locked. The 
gentleman inside was on his cellular phone 
and heard his 
alarm going off and told the person on the 
other line to hold 
for a second. He got up and turned off the 
alarm, while 
yelling at the man, "You stupid spick. Can't 
you unlock a 
door? Why don't you learn how to speak 
English?" 
	Now remember, I was sitting right next 
to this man. 
He obviously thought I was White. Do you 
think he would 
have said that if I had dark skin? I think 
not. 
	Needless to say, I had a few words for 
this man and 
let's just say that I get my car washed for 
free now every time 
I go to this particular car wash. Racism is 
around us all the 
time, and it's sad to say, that it targets 
people of color. 
	Although I may not look Mexican (dark 
skin and dark 
eyes), I still am very proud of who I am and 
where I come 
from. So, I like to think of myself as Eddie 
Murphy in one of 
his Saturday Night Live skits. Do you 
remember the one 
where he dressed himself as a White man and 
went under 
cover to see how White people act when Black 
people are not 
around? Well, I guess you could say that I'm 
the Mexican 
version. Look out. We're anywhere and 
everywhere.

Column: Million Man March goes deeper than its leaders

Christina Bailey
	Minister Louis Farrakhan, organizer of 
the Million 
Man March in Washington has been labeled an 
anti-Semite - 
a racist. 
	The director of this march, former 
executive director of 
the NAACP Rev. Benjamin Chavis was involved 
in a sex and 
money scandal. 
	For these reasons, according to the 
press and other 
organizations around the country, neither are 
fit to lead this 
movement for atonement, unity and self-
determination. 
	But they are.
	People have bought into the 
misinformation spread 
about this march and have decided to not 
associate 
themselves with Farrakhan, the Nation of 
Islam or Chavis. 
But when all is said and done, I think those 
people will be 
sorry they did.
	It has been said that this march will 
create more racial 
divisions because it is specifically for 
Black males. It has been 
said that Black women are not in support of 
this movement 
because they were asked sit on the sidelines 
and cheer. There 
have been questions about where the money 
raised from this 
march was going. 
	Those who care enough, research and ask 
questions 
about this march would find that most of what 
has been 
written has been twisted out of proportion, 
over exaggerated 
or is simply untrue.
	This march and the reasons behind this 
march are 
much bigger than Farrakhan and Chavis. One 
doesn't have to 
agree with what Farrakhan has said in the 
past or what 
Chavis did or what the Nation of Islam 
teaches to support it. 
	The truth is Black men are marching for 
Black women 
and those women who are familiar with this 
march support 
it. 
	"We want to call our men to Washington 
to make a 
statement that we are ready to accept the 
responsibility of 
being the heads of our households, the 
providers, the 
maintainers and the protectors of our women 
and children," 
Farrakhan said at a  press conference. 
	Women have not been excluded from this 
march; 
rather, they have been instrumental in 
organizing it. Women 
like Rosa Parks, who sparked the Montogomery 
bus boycott 
after being arrested for not giving up her 
seat to a White man, 
will speak, as will Poet Maya Angelou. 
	Money raised will help pay for the 
march. Never 
before has an event of this nature been 
funded without White 
people. Whatever is left will go into a fund 
to help Black 
communities, not just the Nation of Islam.
	This movement is about taking a look at 
oneself and 
saying 'you know what, maybe I haven't done 
all I can to be a 
support to my family, to help my community, 
to help my 
sisters. Maybe instead of looking to the 
outside to help right 
the wrongs, we need to look inward. Instead 
of talking about 
what rights we don't have or opportunites we 
don't have, we 
need to take control. We need to register to 
vote and make 
the politicians answer to us too.'
	Those who can not attend the march were 
asked to 
stay home from work, from school and to not 
buy anything to 
send a message to the politicians that Blacks 
are an important 
force in this society.
	I support that. I believe in empowering 
oneself. I 
believe in being a part of the solution and 
not the problem. I 
think what is happening now is exciting and I 
liken it to the 
Civil Rights Movement. I only hope that it is 
not a one-day 
event and that the lines of communication 
remain open and 
available for all to use.

Women's soccer splits matches

By Dan Sobczak
State Press
	ASU's women's soccer club (2-3) squared 
off with 
NAU and UofA last weekend and came away with 
a split in 
two matches.
	The Sun Devils overcame offensive 
mistakes Saturday 
to beat the Lumberjacks 1-0. ASU striker Jenn 
Edwards 
scored the only goal with 15 minutes left in 
the game.
	"We just need to get our offense going 
to win more 
games," midfielder Janelle Davies said.
	Sun Devil backup goalie Stacy Roberts 
helped 
preserve ASU's shutout by preventing NAU from 
scoring on 
all of their offensive possessions in the 
second half.
	ASU hosted archrival UofA Friday at the 
band field in 
another defensive showdown but lost 1-0 after 
the Wildcats 
scored with 20 minutes left in the match.
	"We need to focus on teamwork and to 
play more like 
a team, rather than individuals," center 
midfielder Stacy 
Feffer said.

Sun Devil volleyball team enjoys historical weekend

By Lisa Eskey
State Press
	Mark this weekend down in the record 
books for the 
women's volleyball team.
	With two wins this weekend, the Sun 
Devils swept 
USC and UCLA for the first time in ASU's 
history.
	With the two games, senior outside 
hitter Christine 
Garner broke the ASU career record for kills 
in a season. 
Also, Coach Patti Snyder-Park became the all-
time 
winningest volleyball coach at ASU with wins 
number 118 
and 119.
	"This was a weekend for ASU history," 
Snyder-Park 
said.
	The 14th-ranked Sun Devils defeated Pac-
10 rivals 
USC 3-2 (15-7, 7-15, 11-15, 15-13, 15-7) and 
sixth-ranked 
UCLA 3-2 (15-10, 15-6, 11-15, 11-15, 15-7).
	"These were tremendous wins for us, 
playing the full 
five games against both teams on the road," 
Snyder-Park said. 
"Fatigue could have set in, but it didn't. We 
were the stronger 
team both nights."
	Snyder-Park credited the victories to a 
team effort 
from a young team that pulled together after 
its starting 
setter, freshman Jolynn Faatulu, went down 
with a knee 
injury. The seriousness of the injury won't 
be determined 
until later today, according to Snyder-Park.
	Junior Tracy Heflin added a spark of 
energy that 
especially pulled the team together, Snyder-
Park said.
	"Tracy did an outstanding job setting 
for us. She didn't 
miss a beat," she said.
	ASU now improves to 12-3 overall, 6-3 in 
the Pac-10.
	With 21 kills against the Trojans and 26 
against the 
Bruins, Garner broke Tammy Webb's record of 
most career 
kills of 1,679 set in 1986.
	As for Snyder-Park's record, she is more 
happy with 
the significance of the team's victories this 
weekend than any 
wins for her own record.
	"Every game from now on is just going to 
be a bonus," 
she said.
	Snyder-Park said these wins helped the 
team prove to 
itself just how good it is. 
	"They grew together as a team, and they 
also grew up, 
showing lots of character to pull together 
two victories," 
Snyder-Park said. "They were truly students 
of the game and 
they applied what they've learned to their 
physical talents."

Cseresnyes sidelined for ASU Fall Invitational championship

By Dan Miller
State Press
	ASU sophomore Reka Cseresnyes, who 
advanced to 
the finals of the ASU/Miss Karen's Frozen 
Yogurt Fall Tennis 
Classic with a pair of straight-set victories 
Saturday, was 
unable to compete in the championship match 
Sunday due to 
a pulled muscle in her posterior. 
	Cseresnyes, ASU's returning All-American 
who was 
the top seed in the tournament, injured 
herself while 
stretching out for a doubles match Saturday 
afternoon. She 
was scheduled to face California's highly 
touted freshman 
Renata Kolbovic, who ousted Sun Devil 
sophomore 
Stephanie Lansdorp, 2-6, 6-4, 6-1, in the 
semifinals, 
preventing an all-ASU final.
	"I was very excited about the final," 
said a 
disappointed Cseresnyes. "She (Kolbovic) was 
a good junior 
player. She was older and better than I was. 
I wanted to see 
how I would do against her."
	Lansdorp had knocked off the No. 2 seed, 
Cristina 
Moros of Texas, and the No. 5 seed, UofA's 
Kristen Pietrucha, 
during an impressive run to the final four. 
She said fatigue 
was a factor in her loss to Kolbovic.
	"It was pathetic," Lansdorp said. "I got 
really tired. I 
couldn't move."
	Ironically, Lansdorp's on-court 
theatrics prompted an 
early exit from a recent practice, causing 
her to miss 
conditioning drills that day. 
	"(Coach Sheila McInerney) was joking 
with me about 
that after the match," Lansdorp jested. 
	The Sun Devils, who are ranked 12th in 
preseason 
polls, also had junior Anna Moll and freshman 
No. 7 seed 
Alison Nash reach the quarterfinals before 
succumbing to 
straight-set defeats.

Gold beats Maroon at swim meet

By Lisa Eskey
State Press
	The Maroon and Gold Intrasquad meet 
Saturday was 
more than a warm-up for the men's swimming 
and diving 
season - it was a race for starting 
positions.
	"I was very happy with what I saw 
today," Coach 
Ernie Maglischo said. "We have much more 
depth than we 
did a year ago."
	The Gold team defeated the Maroon 137-
115
	"We saw some surprise finishes that the 
Maroon team 
just didn't count on," senior team co-captain 
and Gold coach 
Jason Harris said.
	Included in those finishes was freshman 
Richard 
Greves, who won the 1,000- and 500-yard 
freestyle for the 
Gold.
	The Maroon women defeated the Gold 72-
61. Senior 
Chris Jeffrey led the Maroon winning the 200 
free, 200 fly, 500 
free, and the 200 individual medley. Freshman 
Tiffany 
Houser won the 100 back and 100 fly.

Men's soccer loses 1, wins 1

By Lisa Eskey
State Press
	The men's soccer club lost to 16th-
ranked NAU 4-0 on 
Sunday in a physical match, with over 15 
yellow cards issued 
to athletes on both teams. 
	"The referees wouldn't take anything 
from anyone," 
said freshman goalkeeper Andy Fisher.
	The team began its weekend, however, 
defeating 
Embry Riddle 12-0 on Saturday.
	During the blowout, Shawn Dumphy scored 
three 
goals and junior midfielder Milan Djukic 
added two. Scoring 
one goal a piece were juniors Chris Vantuil 
(forward) and 
Jake Havenar (fullback) and sophomore Kevin 
Murphy 
(midfielder). Junior goalkeepers Matt Morgan 
and Doug 
Bergbower, as well as Fisher, also scored one 
goal playing as 
forwards. Graduate student Drew Guarneri 
added the last 
goal.
	The team will face the Air Force 
Saturday in Flagstaff 
and NAU again on Sunday

Haynes, '75 team honored

By Ron Matejko
State Press
     Michael Haynes may not be a household 
name to the 
current generation of ASU football fans, but 
the longtime 
faithful know him well.
     Haynes was among the many players from 
the 1975 
undefeated team at ASU who returned to be 
honored along 
with former Coach and Hall of Famer Frank 
Kush for their 
achievements. A ceremony was held during 
halftime of the 
ASU vs. BYU game to recognize the players and 
coaches of 
the last undefeated and highest-ranked team 
in ASU history.
     Haynes said it was special to walk out 
onto the field once 
again.
     "There's an awful lot of memories, 
especially playing 
under the lights," Haynes said. "We had a lot 
of great players 
and great games, which created many good 
memories for 
me."
     Haynes played at ASU from 1972-75 and 
was a co-captain 
on the '75 team. He was named to the All-
Western Athletic 
Conference Team three times and is a member 
of the ASU 
Hall of Fame and ASU Sports Hall of Fame. 
     Haynes reflected on what it meant to be 
a part of the last 
undefeated team at ASU.
     "It's very special. It's very rare that 
a team can go 
undefeated," Haynes said. "You've got to have 
a lot of things 
go right and have everybody healthy, and we 
had all that. We 
had everything it took to put together a 
great season."
     After his days at ASU, Haynes went on to 
a successful 
career in the NFL. He was selected in the 
first round of the 
1975 Draft by the New England Patriots, fifth 
overall. Haynes 
was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 
1976. He played 
with the Patriots until 1982 when he became a 
member of the 
Los Angeles Raiders, and he was a key player 
when they won 
their Super Bowl in 1984.
     Haynes retired after the 1989 season 
after being named to 
nine Pro Bowls and totaling 46 career 
interceptions.
     His post football careers include stints 
with ESPN and 
Prime Network as a broadcaster. He is now in 
charge of 
licensing for a golf firm in San Diego. 
Haynes also holds an 
annual golf tournament in  Los Angeles to 
raise money for 
Business College at ASU.

Sun Devils' 29-21 win result of fearless attitude Snyder says ASU rolled out heavy artillery in BYU triumph

By Dan Miller
State Press
	ASU Head Coach Bruce Snyder admitted he 
left 
nothing to the imagination while concocting a 
game plan 
prior to the Sun Devils' 29-21 win over BYU 
Saturday. With 
arguably the fate of the football season 
riding on the 
outcome, he was ready and willing to expend 
all his 
ammunition. 
	"I wanted my team to know we were going 
for the 
jugular," said Snyder, referring to the 
aggressive play-calling 
Saturday. "We were not going to end up with 
any of our 
shells not shot."
	Saturday's game of Russian roulette on 
the gridiron 
saw Snyder empty his revolver repeatedly, but 
he 
consistently reloaded.
	"We were not cavalier, but we were 
wanting to use all 
of our resources," Snyder contended. "We 
wanted to make 
sure we used all of our weapons."
	The win moved the Sun Devils to 3-4 (1-3 
in the Pac-
10) and snapped a two-game skid headed into a 
much-
needed bye-week. ASU next faces defending-
conference 
champion Oregon (5-1, 2-1 in the Pac-10) on 
Saturday, Oct. 28 
in Eugene. Snyder said Saturday's result 
could be the "start of 
something big."
	"Now we have to capitalize on it," he 
said. "My sense is 
that this team has finally discovered how 
hard you have to 
play for four quarters. In the games we 
played earlier, we 
never had that chance - other than Washington 
(Sept. 2). In 
some of those other games we had never really 
ingrained that 
in our psyche, but we made a push to get that 
done and we 
did it against Stanford (last week), but came 
up short.
	 "But we came back and did it again. 
We're improving 
defensively. We held BYU under 400 yards of 
offense and not 
many teams have done that."
	The ASU defense put the stranglehold on 
the Cougars 
when it needed to, shutting down sharpshooter 
Steve 
Sarkisian in the fourth quarter and even 
adding a touchdown 
of its own - a 31-yard interception return by 
junior linebacker 
Scott Von der Ahe with 48 seconds left. It 
was Von der Ahe's 
first career pick, not to mention his first 
visit to the end zone.
	"It was a 'zone-cover eight,' and I was 
just going to get 
(the third receiver) and I was out on the 
tight end and he 
threw it right to me,"  Von der Ahe said. "It 
was pretty much 
a blur to me. In the end zone I couldn't 
believe I was actually 
there."
	ASU junior quarterback Jake Plummer said 
Von der 
Ahe's graceful gallop was good for some comic 
relief.
	"He looked pretty funny running down the 
sideline 
and running over people,"  he jested. 
	Von der Ahe was not the only Sun Devil 
star.
	Junior defensive tackle Shawn Swayda, 
who has been 
playing with the pain of an ankle injury, set 
up a Sun Devil 
touchdown early in the fourth quarter when he 
stripped 
Sarkisian of the ball on an attempted keeper. 
One play later, 
senior flyback Ryan Wood cut the BYU lead to 
21-19 on a 
one-yard scamper.
	"I did the right thing and it just came 
to me," Swayda 
said. "I'm just kind of lucky, I think. I 
knew the play was 
running to my side so I just stayed low, and 
he ran up to my 
hole and I just grabbed the ball and took it 
away from him."
	Junior rush end Brent Burnstein defended 
two passes 
and recorded a sack, one of five by the Sun 
Devils. He said 
when ASU stymied BYU's drive with 3:23 left 
in the fourth 
quarter and the Sun Devils up 22-21, it was 
the highlight of 
his season.
	"That was the best feeling I had this 
year," Burnstein 
said. "The game was on the line and we had to 
stop them and 
we did it."
	Snyder added: "I think Brent Burnstein 
played great, 
knocked down a ball (and) sacked a guy. 
Swayda made some 
plays and (sophomore defensive tackle) Jason 
Reynolds 
(eight tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble) 
is becoming a 
real factor in terms of being a major college 
football player."
	Junior receiver Keith Poole caught only 
three passes, 
but his 65 yards was a team-high. 
Undoubtedly, Poole's 
biggest catch came in the fourth quarter, 
when he hauled 
down a 47-yard offering from Plummer right 
off of the 
defensive back's helmet to keep what turned 
out to be ASU's 
winning scoring drive alive. 
	"That's what I'm here for. I want to 
make big plays," 
Poole said.
	Plummer said Poole saved his bacon.
	"I was running pretty hard and I saw him 
just break 
past (the defender) a little bit," he 
explained. "I didn't throw it 
far enough, so he made a great catch. But 
that's Keith Poole 
for you. He comes up with the big plays. 
That's why he's our 
main man. 
	"He looked a little like Lynn Swann out 
there."
	NOTES: 
	- Freshman receiver Lenzie Jackson 
caught his first 
career touchdown pass - two-yarder in the 
first quarter.
	- Redshirt-freshman cornerback Lamont 
Morgan 
made his first career interception.
	- Freshman receiver Kenny Mitchell 
snagged his first 
reception as a Sun Devil.
	- Snyder said junior center Kirk 
Robertson, who had 
to leave the BYU game with an injury, was 
diagnosed with a 
strained knee and should be ready for the 
Oregon game.
	- Senior cornerback Lee Cole, who left 
the game with 
a pulled groin, should also be recovered for 
the game with 
the Ducks, Snyder said.
	- Snyder expects possibly his entire 
starting offensive 
line to be back for Oregon. Sophomore guard 
Kyle Murphy 
(knee) and redshirt-freshman Grey Ruegamer 
(lower leg 
sprain) should be back.
	- Snyder said senior cornerback Marcus 
Soward, who 
has been sidelined most of the season with a 
groin pull he 
incurred at Camp Tontozona, has no signs of 
returning. If he 
doesn't come back this season, Snyder said he 
may petition 
the NCAA for a medical hardship for Soward, 
which would 
restore one year of his eligibility. 
Hardships are given on a 
case-by-case basis and there are no 
guarantees, Snyder said. 
Soward was projected as ASU's starting right 
corner prior to 
the training camp.

Cross country finishes 6th

By Dustin Krugel
State Press
	There was no home field advantage when 
the Sun 
Devil cross country team hosted the ASU 
Invitational at 
Karsten Golf Course last Friday.
	"Course-wise we really don't have an 
advantage 
because we never get to go on the course," 
Lehman said.
	ASU's results in the invitational 
reflected its 
unfamiliarity with the course. ASU's men 
finished sixth in the 
15-team field and the women finished 13th. 
UofA sweeped 
both the men's and women's titles.
	Lehman said he did not want to use the 
team's 
unfamiliarity with the course as an excuse. 
He was 
particularly disappointed with his men, who 
he had hoped 
would finish in the top three. 
	"The bottom line is we had a couple of 
guys, like 
freshmen Andy Carusetta and Brandon McGregor, 
who 
stepped up, but the others (who have run the 
course before) 
didn't do that," Lehman said.
	Carusetta finished tops among all Sun 
Devils, placing 
12th overall with a time of 26 minutes and 
6.32 seconds. 
	The Sun Devil women were led by Kim 
Barrett, who 
placed 44th.
	Lehman said his runners have two weeks 
to improve 
until they play in the Pac-10 championships 
on Oct. 28.
	"In two weeks we will be ready," Lehman 
said.
