Tempe considers changes in teen-night
ordinance
By Angela Mull
State Press
A public hearing to consider Club 411's
request to
continue as a bar and night club with summer
teen nights may
be postponed a second time, a club
representative said
Tuesday.
Club 411 will probably request a
continuance until
December because of the absence of two Tempe
City Council
members at the scheduled Nov. 16 hearing,
said Vincent
Johnson, a Club 411 partner. The hearing was
already moved
once from Oct. 19 to Nov. 16.
Councilman Ben Arredondo said one
advantage to a
continuation is the council may revamp the
teen-night
ordinance on Nov. 16. Possible teen-night age
limits could be
set at 18 years and older or 16 years and
older and would help
with a decision about Club 411, he said.
"Where we define teen night will be a
critical issue,"
he said.
Club 411 is seeking a two-year extension
of a use
permit allowing it to offer a bar, night club
and teen-night
activities. However, Tempe representatives
from Community
Development, the City Attorney's Office and
Tempe police are
recommending no teen nights and a use-permit
renewal of
only six months. They also recommend that
Club 411 be
required to get a license for such events if
the council grants
the request.
Debra Fink, a planner with Community
Development, said their recommendation could
change,
however.
Johnson said he does not agree with the
current
recommendation.
"The only problems are associated with
hip-hop
nights, which we discontinued, and teen
nights, which we
rectified," he said. "Teen night is very
controllable as long as
you implement preventative measures."
But representatives are concerned about
security at
the club and teen night related problems
outside of the club
like crowd control and the discharge of
firearms. In
September, a gun was fired in the club's
parking lot following
a hip-hop night, although no one was hurt.
Johnson said the establishment has since
upgraded
security measures with the addition of four
sheriff's deputies in
the parking lot.
In addition, Johnson said revenues from
summer teen
nights are necessary because half of Club
411's usual ASU
crowd is out of town.
"We have to have (teen nights) to
survive as a
business," he said.
But Tempe Councilman Joe Spracale
disagreed.
"Bars don't need to be making money on
kids," he
said, referring to teen-agers admitted into
establishments
serving liquor.
Arredondo said teenagers should be
involved in other
activities.
"When you're dealing with (younger
teens) during the
week, their place is with school activities,"
he said.
But Johnson said eliminating teen nights
will not
keep teenagers out of trouble.
"You're always going to have teenagers
on Mill
Avenue," he said, adding that shooting
incidents near the club
along Mill Avenue cannot necessarily be
blamed on the club.
"There's going to be idiots at any time,
at any place,"
he said.
Man barely avoids watery grave after truck
roll-over
By Greg Zemeida
State Press
A constuction worker came within two
inches of
death Tuesday after his truck rolled off a
20-foot embankment
and landed upside down in a small stream
under the Red
Mountain Freeway bridge at McClintock Drive.
Neil Stephens was trapped inside his
truck for about
20 minutes, with only the top of his head
above the 3-foot
deep water, witnesses said.
"The only thing he had above water was
his nose,"
said Kevin Johnson, one of the men who pulled
Stephens out
of his truck. "He was in a very tough
position."
Stephens, a driver for Gila Recycling,
was taken by
ambulance to Scottsdale Memorial Hospital
after inhaling
water and is listed in serious condition. He
had no other visible
injuries, said Tempe Fire Department
officials on the scene.
Stephens was driving along a narrow
stretch of dirt
road under the bridge at about 3 p.m. when
his truck slipped
off the right side, Johnson said. He was
hauling a full load of
soil cement, used for the Rio Salado Project
work being done
under the bridge.
Johnson said it took so long to get
Stephens out
because he and another man had trouble
getting the driver's
side door open. After that, they had to rip
the front seat out to
get to Stephens.
During the incident, Stephens was
conscious and
talking to emergency workers, witnesses said.
He had
swallowed some water, but managed to keep his
head above
water most of the time.
"He's lucky the water wasn't any
deeper," said Officer
Howard Glaberson of Tempe police.
International educational path available for
interested students
By David J. Kovacs
State Press
Kim Horton's love affair with France
started at an
early age.
"When I was in third grade, I had a
teacher who was a
travel agent," said the ASU graduate. "In the
summer, she
always traveled. She always talked about it
and we did a lot of
cultural inquiries (in class)."
During high school, Horton traveled to
Grenoble,
France, for three weeks on her school's
exchange program.
She returned during her first two years of
college, taking part
in a work-study program.
Before graduating from ASU in the spring
of 1995
with a degree in French, Horton spent her
last semester
attending University of Paris-Sorbonne as one
of the 126
University students studying abroad last
spring.
Keith Yazmir, campus relations
coordinator, will give
a seminar on working and traveling abroad
today in the La Paz
Room at the Memorial Union from noon to 1
p.m. The
seminars are designed for students interested
in traveling to
exotic locales.
Qualified students can enroll in either
an exchange or
study-abroad program.
Majchrowisz said the study-abroad
program is
specifically designed for American students
and includes a
semester-long intensive language course.
The exchange program, however, allows
students to
take regular classes designed for foreign
students, she said.
In either program, she said students
have a real
incentive to learn their new language.
"There's a different motivation to learn
the language -
survival, basically," she said.
Students interested in working abroad
can also take
part in a work-abroad program sponsored by
the International
Study Program and the Council on
International Education
Exchange.
The CIEE is a not-for-profit private
organization
promoting student travel.
Students interested in the International
Study
Program can get information at the Moeur
Building, Room
124.

Interactive information center opens in MU
today
By Angela Mull
State Press
If you need information about ASU, news
or current
music, all you have to do is stroll over to
the Memorial Union
and touch IKE.
IKE, an Interactive Kiosk Experience
developed by
Campus Interaction, is a 24-hour information
center opening at
10 a.m. today in the south corridor of the
MU's main level.
Located across from the elevators, IKE will
operate daily and
uses interactive touch screens to provide
information about
campus events, class schedules, national
news, sports scores
and music. A Warner music screen features 45-
second music
videos with coupons for discounted or free
CDs.
"Students nowadays are very
technologically savvy
and information access 24 hours a day is what
it comes down
to," said Michael Burnstine, a member of
Campus Interaction's
collegiate marketing division.
The kiosk has three sections. Each
section has a
monitor, a touch screen and a printer. The
middle section
provides campus information only, including a
campus
directory and telephone.
IKE users can also apply on line for
American
Express cards and receive discount vouchers
for Continental
Airlines and Timberland boots.
Entertainment information will change
periodically,
Burnstine said.
ASU is the sixth university to install
the kiosk. By
spring of 1996, 135 universities will have
IKE units. Each
kiosk and its hardware costs about $30,000,
but sponsors cover
the entire cost. Sponsors are national and
local, although local
sponsors have not been selected yet, said
Randy Johnson,
associate director of the MU.
He said the kiosk will put value and
convenience into
students' hands.
"What we're looking at doing is bringing
the campus
into the modern day with technology," he
said.
In addition, Johnson said IKE should
decrease the
burden on staff at the MU's information desk.
Information desk manager Kim Demarchi
agreed.
"It probably will take the weight off of
routine
inquiries that don't require personal
attention and allow us to
have time to give directions to people who
are lost or look
through the lost and found," she said.
Jim Bailey, a graduate history student,
said the kiosk
should benefit users.
"As long as it's free, it's cool by me,"
he said.
But John Waslif, also a graduate history
student, said
the kiosk is an example of the decreasing
amount of personal
communication among people.
"I'm against increasing the automated
world," he said.

Editorial: Regroup for recall
In the past, this newspaper's editorials
and columns
have constantly derided the Associated
Students of ASU's
continuous calls to "get involved."
We are breaking with that tradition - at
least for now.
Without hesitation, we urge you now: Get
involved
with ASASU.
Get involved for long enough to eject
ASASU
President Chris Weber from office.
Many of Weber's supporters have stated
quite
adamantly that no action should be taken
unless Weber is
convicted of the crimes he has been charged
with.
But guilt or innocence is not the issue
here. Proper
judgment is.
Getting arrested once after a fracas in
a local bar was
bad enough.
But we are willing to grant that Weber
is only human,
and is bound to make mistakes - even mistakes
of this
magnitude. Putting oneself in a situation
where one can be
arrested shows bad judgment, but it was a
mistake. The only
unforgivable mistakes are the ones you
repeat.
Weber repeated his.
The second arrest - for disorderly
conduct - showed
not only disastrously poor judgment, it also
showed a blatant
disregard for the rules of this University.
When Weber picked up his second arrest,
he
demonstrated quite clearly that he had not
learned anything
from his first brush with the law.
This incident clearly shows that Weber
likely does
not possess the level of judgment that is
vital for a man in his
position.
A significant portion of the student
body believes
now that Weber does not deserve to keep his
position as
ASASU president. A majority of the senate
agrees.
ASASU, like any democratically-elected
body, runs
on the consent of the people. And it is
obvious that many
students do not consent to representation by
Weber.
The time has come for a confidence vote.
The time
has come to recall Chris Weber.
The Weber affair has divided campus
opinions
deeply. About the only way this tension and
divisiveness will
be resolved is by bringing it to a vote of
the students.
Enough has happened over the past month
to warrant
giving students a chance to choose whether or
not to allow the
Weber administration to continue.
If, in a recall election, the majority
of students vote to
retain Weber, so be it. It can truly be said,
then, that Weber
represents his constituency.
But his constituents deserve to be asked
if they want
to keep him in office or not.
A recall petition is currently
circulating around
campus. To force a recall, more than 2,100
signatures are
required. As of Tuesday, 940 signatures have
been collected.
If you are dissatisfied with Weber's
performance, and
just plain tired of ASASU's indifference to
your concerns, we
urge you to sign this petition.
Beginning tomorrow, whenever space
permits, this
newspaper will post a running count of the
number of
signatures collected for recall. This
statistic will demonstrate,
more clearly than any editorial than we can
write, that students
are just plain pissed off.
Get involved. Help bring this issue to a
vote of the
students.
Let's end this damn thing, once and for
all.
Column: Farrakhan's anti-Semitism threat to Jews
Delia Maldonado
Columnist
In the last week many good things have
been written
about the Million Man March. In this paper
you read about the
positive message behind the march.
What you did not read about was the
anguish felt by
other minority groups that were not included
in the Day of
Atonement.
Louis Farrakhan alienated several
African-American
groups who wanted to attend the march,
including women and
gay Black men.
He also aliented other minority groups
that would
have supported his rhetoric. One particular
group that could
have related to the discrimination faced by
Blacks is the
Jewish community.
Blacks saw the march as an answer to a
national
crisis caused by an increasingly perilous
racial divide that is
being widened still by today's diversion from
the economic
and social policies of the last 50 years.
So did the Jews.
The Jewish community supported the need
for this
rally. But they were opposed to the
glorification of Farrakhan's
intense anti-Semitism. Jewish leaders could
not begin to
fathom what motivated responsible Black
ministers and
leaders, like Jesse Jackson, to lend precious
legitimacy to this
man and his theology of hate. As far as they
were concerned,
Blacks and Jews had long been allies in the
Civil Rights
Movement.
It is true that Farrakhan is almost
alone among Black
leaders in addressing those issues in
uncompromising terms.
He, alone, is telling the Black community
what many feel it
needs to hear. His message of cultural
revolution, of
responsibility to self and community is what
inspired so many
Black men who attended the march.
Jewish groups say the rally confirms the
concerns
they have had all along - that the march and
events
surrounding it will create a dangerous
environment that
promotes the anti-Semitic views of Farrakhan
and moves him
toward mainstream acceptance.
The rally "underscores the danger and
concerns we
have about aspects of the march, particularly
as it relates to
who's organizing it and who's behind it."
said Jess Hordes,
director of the Anti-Defamation League's
Washington office.
Everyone knows Farrakhan is a dangerous
man - a
man who advocates bigotry. It is not simply
the media playing
it up. He said what he said and he does not
deny it. When
asked about his views by television
interviewers, most Black
men at the March said his quotes were taken
out of context.
But his statements against Jews are
inflamatory in any context.
Jews, he has said, are "bloodsuckers"
who have
become rich on the sweat and toil of Blacks;
Judaism is a
"gutter religion"; the Holocaust was nothing
compared to the
historical oppression of American Blacks.
In a speech back in March he said:
"Little Jews died
while big Jews made money. Little Jews were
being turned
into soap, while big Jews washed themselves
in it." He also
said a few years back that Hitler was
"great," and though he
said later he meant "wickedly great" the idea
has taken hold
that he had borrowed Hitler's stategy of
using ethnic
scapegoats to build up his own political
power.
Farrakhan may not have resorted to name-
calling on
the particular day of the March (except
against President
Clinton) but the sentiment of anger and hate
toward the Jewish
community is very real and cannot be
forgotten or
downplayed.
Farrakhan is filling a vacumm in the
Black
community with this march. He saw an
opportunity and a need
for Black leadership and organization. It's
ironic that a man
who helped to create that vacuum by speaking
out against
Whites and for segregation is all of the
sudden changing his
tune and being called a hero for it.
Farrakhan's popularity is deeply
disturbing to the
Jewish community, and with good reason. But
he will become
far more dangerous if this plunge into urban
anarchy and
despair is allowed to continue.
It is easy to compare Farrakhan to David
Duke and
Mark Furhman - but what you heard last week
were more
comparisons to Martin Luther King than either
of these men.
This is ludicrous. There are tremendous
differences
between the two men. Most important is King's
belief in
peaceful resistance and his desire to bring
together all minority
groups to support each other and work
together toward racial
harmony and equality.
We should in no way dishonor the memory
of Dr.
King by comparing him to a bigot and a
racist. It is important
to emphasize the message of last week's
March, but it is just as
important to remember who Farrakhan is and
what he stands
for. We can not ignore this man or his role
in The Million
March. His work here has just begun.

Letters to the Editor
Letter: Truth still left to be told
There are several things I would like to
say in regards
to the recall and impeachment process of
Associated Students
of ASU President Chris Weber.
* I thought it was interesting that
prior to the
impeachment process, an unnamed senator was
concerned
about Greek loyalty. He was worried that they
wouldn't do
what is best for the students. I felt this
statement and the article
implied that: fraternity members should keep
an open mind
and do what's right; but it's OK if I have
already decided prior
to hearing the evidence that Chris Weber
should be
impeached.
* In that same article it is noted that
Weber decided
not to resign because he was told by many
students that they
supported him. I am wondering why I haven't
read anything in
the State Press from these students. Are
supporters not being
sought out to hear the other side or are you
suggesting they are
non-existent?
* Did Gresser and Bielfelt (leaders of
the recall
movement) attend the impeachment hearing? If
not, how can
they understand the reasons why some senators
chose not to
impeach Weber? In Tuesday's article there was
some mention
of the programs that Weber has started. I
would like to hear
about some of the positive things Weber has
done.
* Concerning his arrest, was Weber ever
actually
convicted of the assault charge?
* I think it would be really sad if more
people vote in
Weber's recall than actually voted in the
election.
What I am trying to suggest is, as a
student, I believe
that I am lacking the necessary information
to make an
objective choice over whether Weber should be
recalled. My
wish is that students would please consider
if they actually
have all the facts of the arrests and ASASU
bylaws to know if
recalling Weber is warranted. Have you
honestly looked at
both sides of the coin? Have you attempted to
look past what
the State Press tells you? It may not be the
complete truth.

Letter: No impeachment until proven guilty
Chris Weber is innocent until proven
guilty. If Weber
is found guilty, then impeachment proceedings
should be
brought against him. Until then, he should

Freshman setter likely out for season with
knee injury
By Dawn Wagner
State Press
With two important losses haunting them
from last
weekend, the ASU volleyball team came home to
find more
bad news. The Sun Devils have probably lost
their starting
setter for the season.
Freshman Jolynn Faatulu tore her
anterior cruciate
ligament two weeks ago in the first game
against Southern
Cal.
Faatulu, who had been averaging almost
13 assists
per game, will be replaced by junior Tracy
Heflin, who started
last weekend against Washington and
Washington State.
Heflin averaged 11 assists in two games
over the
weekend but is averaging 5.4 assists per game
this season.
Heflin has also posted 129 digs this year.
* Coach Patti Snyder-Park will be
recognized Friday
for breaking ASU's all-time winningest coach
record during
the Sun Devils' match against No. 4 Stanford.
The game is at 7
p.m. in the University Activity Center.
* The Sun Devils, who are 12-5 (6-5 Pac-
10) overall,
are ranked near the top of the Pac-10 in
almost all of the
possible individual statistics.
Senior outside hitter Christine Garner
leads the Sun
Devils in kills and in service aces. She is
also ranked second in
the Pac-10 in kills average (4.60) and third
in aces average
(.37).
Senior middle blocker Holly Sones, an
all-Pac-10
candidate, is ranked fourth in aces average
(.339) and hitting
percentage (.317).
Breaking into the Pac-10 rankings was
sophomore all
Pac-10 candidate Jenn Snyder, who was 10th
last week for
kills average (3.698).
On the defensive end, two players are
making the
grade.
Sophomore outside hitter Terri Cox is
third in the
Pac-10 in digs per game (3.613). She also
leads the Sun Devils
in digs and is third in kills average.
Annette Monsen, a senior middle blocker
from New
Mexico State, is ranked seventh in the Pac-10
in blocks-per-
game average (1.20).
Top-ranked golf team wins Alabama tourney
Sun Devils come from behind on final day;
junior Hanell uses
3rd-round 69 to take 2nd
By Lisa Eskey
State Press
The top-ranked men's golf team won the
Jerry Pate
Intercollegiate tournament at the Shoal Creek
Golf Course in
Birmingham, Ala., Tuesday.
The victory was the team's second of the
season. The
Sun Devils also triumphed in the Ping Preview
in Cornelius,
Ore., to open the season.
"It was good for us," Coach Randy Lein
said. "We
knew we had to win."
The Sun Devils used combined rounds of
299, 294
and a 1-over-par, final-round score of 289 to
give them a
three-day total of 882, five strokes ahead
of the University of
Nevada-Las Vegas, which finished second.
Oklahoma State (888) finished third and
UofA, which
was in first place after two rounds, settled
for fourth, one
stroke behind the Cowboys.
Individually, junior Chris Hanell placed
second (73-
71-69-213), three strokes off North
Carolina's Rod Bradley's
pace. Hanell's final-round 69 was the low-
score for the day.
Both men were the only players to finish the
tournament with
a combined score under par.
Freshman Darren Angel finished tied for
sixth place
(74-72-75-221), marking his third top-10
finish of the season.
"He made some crucial putts for us down
the stretch,"
Lein said of Angel.
This weekend, all five team members
played their
rounds together, instead of with opposing
team members.
Under normal circumstances, threesomes from
different teams
play together.
Lein said the different format was an
advantage to the
weaker teams because there is no intimidation
factor from the
higher-ranked players contributing to their
play. One
disadvantage for the Sun Devils was being
unable to get
updates on teamstandings.
"It was different," Lein said. "We had
no idea how
the other teams were doing, but the team
responded well. This
win was a great confidence boost."
Lein added that the team hasn't been
playing to its
potential and is still winning major
tournaments.
"This just adds to the credibility to
how good we
really are," he said.
The Sun Devils will be in action again
at the Golf
World Invitational in Hilton Head, S.C., Nov.
9-12.
Snyder says turnovers key for ASU to corral
Ducks
By Dustin Krugel
State Press
ASU's defense will need to take the ball
away from
Oregon's high-powered offense if the Sun
Devils are going to
win this Saturday, Head Coach Bruce Snyder
said.
"I think it's a key in this game and
it's a key in every
game," he said.
The Sun Devil defense has had its
problems forcing
turnovers, with a total of nine in seven
games, four of which
came in ASU's last game against BYU. In
comparison,
Oregon's defense has forced 17 turnovers in
seven games.
"We had been in a drought taking the
ball away,"
Snyder said. "The (win over) BYU directly was
the result of
taking the ball away."
Snyder said the defense needs to force
turnovers so
the offense doesn't have to drive the length
of the field to
score.
"It seems like every drive we've had
this year has
been for 70 or 80 yards except for this last
game," he said.
"That's hard on our offense."
Taking the ball away from Oregon may be
easier said
than done, Snyder said.
"Oregon doesn't turn the ball over very
much," he
said.
Players gaining respect for Oregon
Snyder said his players remember last
year's lopsided
34-10 loss to the Ducks.
"From what I've heard them say, it's
how physical
Oregon is and how much respect they have for
them."
Snyder said his players last year might
not have
shown enough respect for the eventual Pac-10
champion.
"I think we're going up there with a
little bit of a
different attitude and appreciation for how
good they are," he
said. "Nobody at that time believed they
would go to the Rose
Bowl."
The Recruiting Trail
The recruiting trail heated up for the
Sun Devils
during their bye week. ASU sent each of its
allotted seven
coaches on recruiting trips.
"We tried to divide it 50-50 between
high schools and
junior colleges," Snyder said.
Snyder said he could be sending junior
college
scholarships out in the next couple of weeks.
"It was really a good trip," he said.
"We had a good
response by the athletes and the high school
and junior college
coaches. I feel pretty good with how our
recruiting is now."
Keeping a tight grip on the ball
For the seventh straight game ASU didn't
lose a
fumble on a rushing play. The streak is now
the longest in
school history.
"I'm pleased with the way we're taking
control of the
ball. I'm really proud of the backs. That's
really remarkable
not to have any (fumbles) in the running
game," Snyder said as
he simultaneously knocked on wood for good
luck.
Senior running back Chris Hopkins
fumbled on a
pass reception against BYU, but that didn't
halt the streak
because it was on a passing play.
Ailing Poole
Junior wide receiver Keith Poole has not
recovered as
quickly as was hoped from his left ankle
sprain.
"He's not even near what he was when he
was
healthy," Snyder said. "He's not running with
nearly the same
speed. That's a concern. He's kind of
discouraged right now
and down. He thought he would be well in 10
days."
Despite the injury, Snyder said Poole
will travel to
Oregon.
"He'll go and play, but he's not the
same guy," he
said. "He doesn't have the same balance and
cuts he should be
making now."
