Weber: 'I'm not going to resign' ASASU president faces impeachment effort in Senate today

By Timothy Tait
State Press
	Student government President Chris Weber 
has put 
his political future into the hands of the 
Associated 
Students 
of ASU Senate after announcing Monday that he 
will not 
resign from office.
	"I'm not going to resign," a tearful 
Weber told the 
Academic Senate on Monday.
	Weber said he "used poor judgment but 
broke no 
laws," in the events surrounding his arrest 
last Monday for 
trespassing and disorderly conduct at Palo 
Verde Main. "The 
best thing for Chris Weber and the students 
is that I stay 
and 
do the job that I was elected to do," he 
said.
	However, Articles of Impeachment to be 
submitted at 
the ASASU Senate meeting today state that 
Weber violated 
the ASASU Constitution and his oath of 
office.
	"President Chris Weber will be unable to 
complete the 
purpose of the ASASU as listed in the 
constitution ... by 
being 
unable to represent the Arizona State 
University student 
body," the articles state.
	It remains a matter of conjecture 
whether the articles 
will pass. Sen. Evan Itzkowitz said the 
Senate is not 
justified 
in impeaching Weber.
	"He has screwed up, but it can be 
fixed," he said. 
"They 
are only looking at the negative and not the 
positive."
	Up to three different votes may be taken 
during the 
impeachment proceedings against Weber 
tonight, Executive 
Vice President Angelo DeSimone said.
	A simple majority of the 23 senate votes 
will be needed 
to pass the Articles of Impeachment and 
convene an 
impeachment hearing. Eighteen votes, or a 3/4 
majority, is 
required to determine if Weber is guilty of 
the impeachment 
charges. The third vote, if the first two 
pass, will 
determine 
how to punish to Weber.
	DeSimone said Weber could be found 
guilty of the 
impeachment charges, but may not necessarily 
be removed 
from office.
	"Unfortunately, we will have to deal 
with this in the 
Senate," Sen. Alex Shivers said. "It will be 
a knock-down, 
drag-out fight."
	DeSimone, the president of the Senate, 
called each 
senator over the weekend to explain the 
impeachment 
process. 
	"A lenient Senate should be perceived as 
a weak 
Senate," he said. "They are expected to do 
what is right."
	Weber's decision to weather the storm is 
a change of 
course from last week. Following his arrest 
last Monday, 
Weber informed the ASASU Executive Committee 
that he 
planned to resign from office.
	"Chris said that he would be resigning 
by the end of 
the week," Sen. Alana Chavez said. "We 
expected him to 
follow through on what he said."
	Buddy Early, Weber's chief of staff, 
said Weber 
decided not to resign because of the support 
he has received 
from students and local politicians. 
	"The reason for his change of heart," 
Early said, "was 
due to the number of students telling him not 
to resign. We 
are confident that we have a lot of quiet 
support in the 
Senate." 
	Itzkowitz called the impeachment a 
"joke," but said he 
remains confident that the senate will 
examine the facts.
	"A lot of people are going off half-
cocked," he said. 
"Many of the senators would vote to impeach 
even if God 
stood in front of them and said that he 
(Weber) didn't do 
anything.
	"I am confident in the fact that people 
will wake up 
and see the light and realize that there are 
a lot of things 
that 
they have not considered." 
	Chavez said the Senate needs to react to 
Weber's 
arrests to preserve the students' trust in 
the association.
	"It was a lack of good judgment on his 
part. He needs 
to pay the consequences for his actions," she 
said. She 
added 
that Weber's arrests have "affected the 
student body's trust 
and perception of the association."
	Itzkowitz said he believes that many of 
Weber's 
programs will go "down the drain" if he is 
removed from 
office.
	"Many of the senators want to think that 
removing 
Chris from office will fix everything," he 
said. "I want to 
help 
before I convict."
	A Senate representative, who asked to 
remain 
anonymous, said senators who are also 
fraternity members 
may impede the proceedings. Both Weber and 
Itzkowitz are 
members of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. 
	"The only thing that I'm worried about 
are the 
fraternity members," said the unnamed 
representative. "Chris 
has claimed (in the past) that seven senators 
are fraternity 
members. I kind of wonder if they are going 
to do what is 
best for the students - it is a question of 
loyalty."
	Other members of the Senate, however, 
believe the 
Greek senators will vote based on the facts.
	"Being Greek, I'll vote against Chris," 
Shivers said. 
"I 
don't think that being Greek is a criteria 
for voting for 
Chris - 
there are other reasons to vote for Chris."
	Shivers confirmed that seven senators 
are also 
members of fraternities.
	"I can't say how the fraternity members 
will vote, but 
he probably won't get all of their votes," 
Sen. Daren 
Wastchak 
said.
	"Whatever happens, it will be extremely 
difficult."

KAET show highlights ASU's extracurricular effort

By Patty King
State Press
	Not all the students who ASU serves 
carry backpacks, 
hang out at the Memorial Union or even make 
the height 
requirement for a Disneyland ride. 
	But that doesn't stop ASU from working 
to improve 
their education.
	ASU's Search for the New, a 30-minute 
documentary/discussion program that airs 
tonight on KAET, 
highlights ASU's partnership with the 
community in the area 
of kindergarten through 12th-grade education.
	The show will focus on three ASU 
programs that use 
new or innovative teaching methods and new 
methods of 
involving ASU students in teaching children, 
said Judy 
Knudson, executive director of Institutional 
Advancement, 
who researched and planned the program in 
conjunction 
with Channel 8.
	The program will air 7:30 p.m tonight 
and 2 p.m. 
Sunday. It is co-hosted by ASU President 
Lattie Coor and 
Michael Grant, host of KAET's Horizon 
television program.
	Don Hopfer, executive producer of 
special events and 
public affairs for KAET, said the director of 
each of the 
three 
ASU programs will appear with a student or 
teacher who has 
worked with the program.
	"That way, you get to hear about the 
focus of the 
project, and then you get to meet someone 
who's actually 
involved with it, and see why they are, and 
what they get 
out 
of it," he said.
	Knudson said the show is the third 
installment in an 
ongoing KAET series highlighting the ways ASU 
fulfills its 
mission in the areas of undergraduate 
education, graduate 
and research programs, commitment to cultural 
diversity and 
commitment to community partnerships.
	The first highligted program is an ASU 
partnership 
with Phoenix's Julian Middle School and the 
Roosevelt School 
District, where eight ASU undergraduates 
enrolled in a 
service learning Botany 108 class work with 
26 disadvantaged 
students from the middle school. Each ASU 
student works in 
a team with three children and each team 
develops scientific 
experiments that teach children basic botany 
concepts, such 
as photosynthesis.
	The second feature involves ASU's Center 
for 
Academic Precocity. Cindy Paredes, academic 
coordinator for 
the center and one of the guests on the show, 
said CAP uses 
an innovative method for involving ASU 
students in the 
teaching process by having classes taught by 
graduate 
students who are doing research in 
professional fields such 
as 
computer science, space technology and 
science exploration. 
Students in the program work at a very high 
academic level 
with peers who share their interests, she 
said.
	"They're in a space class with kids that 
are all 
interested in space and are all gifted," she 
said. "That's 
different than a regular classroom."
	The third ASU program featured in the 
show is Project 
Prime.
	Raul Cardenas, project director of 
Project Prime, said 
its six-member staff visits 11 schools weekly 
in Chandler, 
Phoenix, Avondale, Casa Grande and Hayden-
Winkelman. 
They work with individual teachers to help 
identify 
students' 
deficiencies in verbal and mathematics 
skills. 
	Hopfer, who has taped segments of the 
show, said he 
thinks President Coor feels that it is the 
University's 
place to 
involve itself in K-12 education.
	"(The University) has the resources," 
Hopfer said. 
"They have the people who are studying these 
issues, and in 
a case like Project Prime, are designing new 
ways to enhance 
education for the young.
	"He just thinks that this is an area 
where the 
University can play an important role."

Meatless eating focus of diet seminar

By Kelly Wendel
State Press
	A lecture series about the benefits of 
reducing the 
amount of meat in people's diet continues 
this evening at 7 
p.m. in the Memorial Union.
	"Eating for a Better Life," sponsored by 
Concerned 
Arizonans for Animal Rights and Ethics, 
focuses on the 
health, environmental and humane aspects of 
eating meat.
	The seminar continues tonight with 
lectures by Russell 
Benford, a member of ASU's Environmental 
Resource 
Management Program and of CAARE, who will 
discuss 
energy use and the benefits of eating low on 
the food chain. 
Dr. Robert Ohmart, an expert in riparian 
ecosystem 
management, will also talk about land use and 
resource 
depletion in the southwestern United States.
	Benford said the main goal of the 
seminar is to inform 
the public rather than deliver an anti-meat 
sermon. 
	"The lectures are to educate the public 
about the 
impact their diet has on their health, 
environment and 
animals," he said. "We are not preaching to 
people that they 
have to eliminate animal products from their 
diet. Our 
position is to educate people." 
	Benford said there is a misconception 
that people need 
meat in their diet.
	"The argument isn't necessarily that we 
are killing 
animals for food. A lot of people say, 'I 
hate to do it, but 
I 
gotta eat,' " he said. "The focus of the 
argument is that we 
don't have to use animals for food. It's 
better for our 
health 
and our environment."
	Many of today's environmental concerns 
are linked to 
the consumption of animal products, Benford 
said.
	"When we think about population and 
start thinking 
how the top soils and the forests are being 
depleted because 
of grazing, we have to take a serious look at 
what's causing 
this," he said. "A large portion of it is 
directly related 
to diet."
	Benford said the grazing of cattle poses 
a serious 
environmental threat.
	"Cattle are a huge environmental 
problem, not only in 
America but in the world," he said. "As our 
society realizes 
it 
has a rapidly growing population and a very 
limited resource 
base, and the higher we eat on the food 
chain, the more 
quickly we use that resource base."
	However, Margie Anderson, director of 
consumer 
affairs for the Arizona Beef Council, 
disagreed on the 
impact 
of cattle ranching on the environment.
	"Cattlemen were the original 
environmentalists," she 
said. "Long before it was cool to be 
environmental, there 
were 
cattlemen out there managing the land and 
caring for their 
animals as well as the land."
	Anderson compared cattle in a pasture to 
a lawn 
mower.
	"You mow the lawn, and it helps the 
grass come in 
thicker and stronger. The cow is nature's 
lawn mower," she 
said. "You use cattle as a management tool to 
improve and 
repair the land."
	Anderson also rejected the notion of a 
meatless diet.
	"Our government recommends meat in your 
diet," 
Anderson said. "The meat group is an 
important part of your 
diet."
	However, medical researchers have 
consistently found 
links between the consumption of meat and 
heart disease, 
strokes and cancer, Benford said.
	"The medical establishment has proved 
and keeps 
proving that the fewer the animal products 
you have in your 
diet, the healthier you are," he said.
	Benford added that special interest 
groups have used 
their power to keep Americans in the dark 
about the dangers 
of eating meat.
	"The American Cattlemen's Association 
and American 
Beef Association have so much political 
clout, it's 
difficult to 
say what they don't want you to say," he 
said. "They have 
their agenda. The people who depend on 
selling animal 
products have a huge impact on everything in 
the food 
regulation (industry)."

Official: Great Mall no threat to Mill Avenue

By Angela Mull
State Press
	Tempe's Great Mall of Arizona will be a 
big retail 
machine, but will not squash downtown Tempe, 
a Tempe 
official 
said Monday. 
	"My guess is it won't have a huge 
negative impact," 
said Rodney Keeling, executive director of 
Downtown Tempe 
Community Inc., a non-profit organization 
that manages 
downtown Tempe. "I don't see it as a 
competitor to 
downtown Tempe."
	The Great Mall of Arizona, set to open 
in early 1997 at 
I-10 and the Superstition Freeway, will 
occupy 1.2 million 
square feet of space with 12 anchor stores, 
such as Saks 
Fifth 
Avenue Outlet, Oshman's Super Sports USA, 
Linens N 
Things Superstore and Harkins Great Mall 
Luxury 20 
Cinemas. Another 210 retailers, family 
entertainment venues 
and restaurants will be included.
	However, the plethora of shopping 
opportunities may 
not be enough to draw some customers away 
from 
downtown Tempe.
	Dan Cortez, a 30-year-old advertising 
executive with 
Spanish Accents, said, "If I knew I was going 
to shop and 
look around, I'd go (to the Great Mall). But 
if I just 
wanted to 
hang out and people watch, I'd come to Mill." 
	Keeling agreed that while the mall will 
serve a broad 
market, establishments along Mill Avenue are 
oriented more 
toward a niche market. 
	"If we were a stand-alone community away 
from the 
rest of the metropolitan area, a large retail 
development 
would not be good for downtown," he said. 
"But the fact is 
we're in a sea of retail opportunities." 
	In addition to providing sales tax 
revenue and at least 
3,000 jobs for Tempe, one of the mall's co-
developers said 
it 
will provide many different shopping 
possibilities for 
customers.
	"This is an alternative that is a 
complement to the 
current shopping base," said Hal Scudder, 
vice president of 
Michigan-based Taubman Company. "It's kind of 
like the 
kitchen sink. It's a wide variety of uses 
under one roof."
	Cortez, who lives near the mall, said 
the Tempe mall is 
a good use for a once empty area.
	"Malls are king here, so I'm sure it 
will do well," he 
said.

Faculty delay effort to lower graduation credit hour standard

By Cody V. Aycock
State Press
	A proposal to reduce the number of 
credit hours 
required for graduation was tabled Monday by 
the Academic 
Senate after faculty members expressed 
concern that the plan 
would lower ASU's educational standards.
	A motion to reduce the current 
graduation 
requirement of a minimum of 50 upper-division 
hours to 45 
was debated for a half-hour before members 
tabled the 
motion and sent it to the Curriculum and 
Academic 
Programs Committee for further review. The 
committee will 
report its findings to the Senate before its 
meeting next 
month. 
	Several faculty members protested the 
plan. They said 
a 10 percent reduction in required upper-
division courses 
would make it difficult for students to get a 
complete and 
specialized education.
	"I think we ought to resist efforts to 
get us to bring 
our 
standards down," said Richard Jacob, 
professor of physics 
and astronomy. "Our main responsibility is to 
maintain the 
standards that we as faculty have set."
	University President Lattie Coor said 
the proposal 
would not diminish the education that 
students receive from 
the University. 
	He said because the proposal set a 
minimum 
requirement, and not maximum limits, that 
colleges could 
maintain high standards. 
	The reduction is an effort to meet an 
Arizona Board of 
Regents requirement to reduce the amount of 
time it takes 
students to graduate from the state's three 
universities. 
The 
Board passed a resolution in December of last 
year requiring 
the universities to lower the number of 
credit hours needed 
to graduate from 126 to 120.
	"We are constantly criticized because 
currently it 
takes 
five and a half years to graduate. We are 
trying to change 
that 
for the student's benefit," said Regent Rudy 
Campbell. 
	"I think we have been dragging education 
out too 
long," he said. 
	The universities have until Fall '97 to 
meet the 
Board's 
reductions, but University Provost Milton 
Glick said he is 
hopeful ASU can make its upper-division 
requirement 
adjustments before the Fall '96 catalog is 
distributed in 
approximately two months.

Editorial: Sacrificing quality for quantity

	The Academic Senate is trying to make it 
easier to 
graduate from ASU.
	In order to comply with an Arizona Board 
of Regents 
mandate, the Academic Senate is considering 
lowering the 
number of upper division hours needed to 
graduate from 50 
to 45.
	This vote will doubtlessly be 
encouraging to students 
who feel like they've spent an eternity and a 
day going to 
college.
	But it does raise nagging questions as 
well - and 
worries that a watered-down ASU education is 
being 
watered down even more.
	Certainly, this is not the fault of the 
Academic Senate. 
They've really got no choice in the matter - 
the ABOR has 
already decreed that the number of hours 
required to 
graduate must be lowered to 120.
	But should the number of hours be 
lowered? And 
should upper division courses be the target?
	Once again, let us examine the mission 
of the 
university - and what an education there is 
supposed to 
accomplish.
	The ABOR mandate - like so many others - 
appears to 
be viewing the university through purely 
utilitarian eyes.
	The idea that is being insinuated here 
is that students 
don't come to ASU to learn - they come here 
to get a diploma 
and a better job.
	The lowering of credit hours will merely 
make it easier 
to churn out more diplomas in a shorter 
period of time.
	Quantity over quality makes good fiscal 
sense - but 
does it make academic sense?
	In the past, a college degree was a 
symbol of prestige - 
something that one had to actually work for. 
It was 
recognized that only a minority of people 
would have what it 
took to be admitted to college, to say 
nothing of earning a 
bachelor's degree.
	In the past, even lower division courses 
were time-
consuming and challenging.
	What about today?
	Today, students are herded into massive 
lecture halls 
400 at a time for lower division classes. 
Professors rarely 
know a tenth of their students, and students 
are rarely 
graded on anything past a handful of multiple 
choice exams.
	Such classes might be considered 
challenging in a high 
school. But they cannot - and should not - be 
considered 
representative of the depth of education that 
a university is 
supposed to provide.
	Even more disturbing is the drop in 
quality of some 
upper division courses. While some courses 
can be 
considered fairly challenging, many more are 
just as lacking 
in depth as lower division classes.
	Students, who are always quick to adapt, 
quickly focus 
on what they must do to get a good grade in a 
class, rather 
than focusing on the learning process itself 
- often sacrificing 
the independent, free thinking that is 
supposed to be the 
hallmark of a university.
	Slashing at graduation requirements is 
the last thing 
we can afford to do. Educational quality has 
been sliding 
dangerously. The time has come to bring the 
quality back up.
	This can be difficult in a state like 
Arizona, where 
funding for education takes a back seat to 
redecorating the 
governor's office.
	So rather than sacrificing quality, why 
not cut back on 
quantity?
	Rather than admitting just about 
everyone that turns 
in an application, why not start being 
selective about who is 
admitted to this University?
	Many people are here because they want 
to learn. 
Don't destroy their learning experience so we 
can pack more 
students into the classrooms of ASU.

Column: Day of atonement, a day to rejoice

Christina Bailey
Opinion Editor
	I sat there and watched the march, the 
different 
speakers and finally Minister Louis Farrakhan 
speak with 
about 20 or 30 other brothers and sisters at 
the Memorial 
Union.
	The community, the peace, hope and love 
I felt was, 
and is, still beyond words. To see that many 
Black men in one 
place talking about change - talking about 
helping oneself 
and helping others - was truly a historical 
moment to behold.
	As Farrakhan spoke, everybody around me 
sat a little 
straighter. More people wandered over to hear 
what he had 
to say. Would he blame the Whites for the 
troubled 
communities? Would he denounce Jewish people, 
Asians and 
organizations that denounced him? 
	Did he? 
	The answer is no. 
	So what did he do?
	He reached out to them. He reached out 
to America. 
He reached out to all those who would listen 
and said 
something is wrong here but each and every 
one of us can fix 
it. Each and every one of us can help to 
attain a more perfect 
union - the ones our forefathers talked 
about.
	How?
	* Pointing out the wrongs we have 
committed. 
Thinking about where our actions or non-
actions, our apathy 
or activism have gotten us - society - to 
where we are today.
	* Acknowledging the wrongs we have made.
	* Accepting the wrongs and confessing 
these wrongs.
	And to who should you confess to and 
why, he asked?
	* To the people you have wronged, to 
God, to 
yourself. When the soul is riddled with guilt 
and conflict, 
how can you change or see that change is 
needed?
	* Repent for the wrongs.
	* Atone for those wrongs. That means not 
just talking 
about the things you did or didn't do, but 
taking action.
	* Forgiveness is the next step. Forgive 
not just from 
our lips but from our hearts.
	* Reconciliation and reparation is the 
next part.
	Then we will have a perfect union.
	This march was not about blaming or 
blasting the 
"White man" for Black peoples' woes. It is 
not about Black, 
White, Red, Brown and Yellow.
	Farrakhan said the real evil is not 
White flesh or Black 
flesh, it is the idea of White supremacy - 
the idea that some 
White people believe that the whiteness of 
their skin makes 
them superior to all others. He said it was 
that sickness that 
was destroying all of America and not just 
Black America.
	Never once did I feel like Farrakhan was 
grouping all 
White people together as oppressors, as 
racists. Never once 
did I see him point to the Capitol and lay 
blame on the 
government. Nor did he deny the Jewish 
Holocaust or belittle 
Asians and Whites for owning businesses in 
Black 
communities.
	Farrakhan said Black men need to look to 
themselves 
for the answers. Black on Black violence must 
stop. Black 
men need to stop pointing fingers and saying, 
"It's the 'White 
man's' fault." Instead, they need to embrace 
their culture, 
their families, women, children and care for 
them. They need 
to make their homes and communities a safe 
place to live. 
They need to organize and start up their own 
businesses in 
their respective communities.
	He asked Black people to join 
organizations that 
promoted liberation and freedom, to register 
to vote and 
gather others to register for the party that 
they felt the most 
comfortable with. He talked about organizing 
Black leaders 
and creating a fund to help rebuild schools 
and communities 
and to maintain, expand and build programs 
and 
organizations in the hopes of elevating the 
status of Black 
people. There was no talk of separatism, of 
debts owed to 
Black people or dividing this nation.
	There was a man named Willie Lynch who 
proclaimed 
he knew exactly how to keep slaves from 
rebelling, from 
becoming free men and women. He said if you 
use fear, 
distrust and envy, you can control slaves.
	That fear, distrust and envy, used to 
control the slaves 
128 years ago, is still present today. The 
mentality that pitted 
old males against young males, males against 
females, dark-
skinned slaves against light-skinned slaves, 
field slaves 
against house slaves and the mentality that 
said White 
overseers, slave owners and drivers were the 
only ones that 
could be loved, respected and trusted, needs 
to stop - today. 
	What struck me most was how Farrakhan 
kept giving 
props to God. God, he said, was the driving 
force behind the 
march; he was just the messenger. God had the 
answers, all 
we had to do was ask the questions. 
	What disappointed me the most is the 
media and the 
ones that prejudged and tuned the march out 
without doing 
the research or taking the time to hear the 
concepts and the 
message coming from all the people there. 
	I am not just taking a stand on this 
because I am a 
woman of color. I am taking a stand because I 
believe ethics 
have been tossed aside, objectivity has been 
trashed, facts are 
being skewed on a regular basis and twisted 
to fit the mind-
set of the journalists - journalists who 
don't take the time to 
do the research, to walk the walk or 
understand. Both sides 
are not being told.
	Editorials are made for the opinion 
pages, not the front 
pages. Controversy is not to be made by the 
media, it is to be 
reported by the media in a manner that allows 
the reader to 
come to his or her own conclusions. 
	This march was the start of a new 
beginning - to 
remind us that God created us all equal. We 
can draw power 
from him and change our own lives. The idea 
of unity, 
independence, responsibility and love for 
ourselves and 
others can be attained by all of America, not 
just Black 
America. And finally that the idea of White 
supremacy has to 
die in order for humanity to live.

Miller earns 2nd at championships

     The ASU water skiing team didn't finish 
as high as 
expected in the National Collegiate Water Ski 
Association 
National Championships at the Austin Aquaplex 
in Austin, 
Texas, last weekend.
     ASU placed seventh in the event, which 
included 12 of the 
top teams in the nation. Each team 
represented its respective 
conference as a champion.
     "It was disappointing for me," Coach 
Dave Phillips said. 
"My goal was to finish in the top five. We 
needed better 
performances from the women's jump and the 
men's trick."
     The only top-five finish for ASU was by 
All-American 
Renee Miller, who placed second in the 
slalom. The only skier 
to beat Miller was Ronnie Barton, who is 
ranked first in the 
world in the event.
     Phillips said despite the finish, the 
team got a lot out of the 
experience.
     "We learned a lot. We need to have a 
curfew next time; we 
didn't have one," he said. "The teams that 
had a better chance 
at winning were stricter about it. We had 
self-imposed 
curfews, but next time there will be a coach-
imposed one."
     The next tournament for ASU will be this 
weekend at 
Crystal Point Estates in Phoenix.

Rugby team on hot streak

From Staff Reports
	In one swift move the Sun Devil Rugby 
Football Club 
equaled its win total from last year. The 
team compiled a 4-1 
record en route to a second-place finish at 
the Camelback 
Invitational Rugby Tournament last weekend. 
	All of last year ASU, which was in a 
rebuilding season, 
only racked up three wins. Last year's win 
total was broken 
this year in just one weekend, which was made 
all the 
sweeter for the Sun Devils since three of the 
wins were over 
UofA. 
	"It means a lot to us because we beat 
the total wins 
from last season," said senior winger Nic 
Martin. "It was great 
to beat UofA because they're our archrival."
	ASU lost to the Camp Pendleton team of 
the Southern 
California division II league. The Marines 
defeated the Sun 
Devils 14-0 in the finale. 
	Up next for ASU is a match against NAU 
this Saturday 
at noon on the ASU band field.

"PICK IT AND WIN" CONTEST WINNER

	Graduate student Jon Ruterman, who 
received his 
bachelor's degree from Notre Dame and is 
studying statistics 
at ASU, was the Week Seven winner of the 
State Press Sports 
"PICK IT AND WIN" contest for ASU football 
games.
	Jon picked ASU to defeat the BYU Cougars 
30-21, only 
one point off the actual score of ASU 29, BYU 
21. Since none 
of the contestants correctly picked the exact 
score, Jon's 
prediction was determined to be the closest. 
Remember, the 
winner must correctly pick the winner and the 
final score of 
the game.
	Jon won an ASU cap courtesy of The Cap 
Co. on Sixth 
Street and Mill Avenue, an autographed Jake 
Plummer poster 
schedule courtesy of ASU athletics, a 
headshot in the State 
Press sports section, an ASU sports calendar 
and a bonus 
prize.
	Ruterman on the game: "They needed the 
win, not 
only for their record, but they were honoring 
the best ASU 
team ever and it wouldn't have been fitting 
if they would've 
lost."
	Why did you pick that score? 
"Traditionally, BYU 
doesn't believe in defense and ASU's offense 
is starting to 
come around, so I figured it might be a high 
score."
	Season prediction: 6-5.
	Favorite Sun Devils: Linebacker Scott 
Von der Ahe and 
wide receiver Keith Poole. Ruterman admitted 
partiality to 
Von der Ahe because it was his 31-yard 
interception return 
late in the game which all but sealed his 
victory in the 
contest. "He got that interception that won 
the contest for me. 
I was thinking at least we're going to win, 
but if we don't get 
another touchdown, I probably won't win the 
contest." 
	On Poole: "He's really a playmaker. Look 
at some of 
the catches he makes."
NOTE: There will be no contest this week due 
to ASU's bye-
week. We will begin accepting entries for the 
ASU-Oregon 
game next week.
