ASASU high court suspends Wendell

By Jeff Owens
State Press
	Associated Students of ASU Activities Vice President Marc 
Wendell was suspended from official duties Tuesday after he was 
found in contempt for destroying court-ordered documents.
	The ASASU Supreme Court injunction reads: "Marc 
Wendell participated in egregious misconduct in his official 
capacity of Activities Vice President when he destroyed a 
requisition of funds ordered by the Court É"
	Dritan Zela, president of the ASU Albanian Students Club, 
filed a complaint after the Multi-Cultural Awareness Programming 
Board denied a request for club funds. The Supreme Court ruled in 
favor of Zela when neither Wendell nor an MCAPB representative 
appeared at an April 1 hearing. The requisition was subsequently 
sent to Wendell's office for his signature. 
	The ASASU Business Office informed the Court on April 
15 that Wendell "interfered with the judicial process by tearing into 
pieces the requisition signed by the director of the MCAPB."
	"He literally ripped it up into pieces and threw them in the 
trash," said ASU Supreme Court Chief Justice Hilary Sadler, who 
issued the injunction. 
	Sadler issued a contempt citation to Wendell after he failed 
to show up at the April 1 hearing.
	Wendell said Thursday he was unsure how long the order 
would remain in effect.
	"My understanding was that until Dritan Zela actually gets 
payment, I'm released from my duties as vice president as far as the 
Supreme Court is concerned, but that doesn't mean I've stopped 
doing my job," he said. 
	Wendell added that all the activities and programs of his 
office will continue regardless of the order against him.
	"As I'm true to my word, that will be the case," he said.
	Wendell said the injunction was unfair, and that he expects 
it to remain in place for the rest of his semester-long term because 
bureaucratic stalling will keep Zela from getting paid.
	"They (the Supreme Court) have violated my civil liberties 
all along," he said. "I refuse to allow the Supreme Court or 
anybody to destroy my department."
	Sadler said the injunction clearly reads that Wendell is 
released from duty only until Zela is reimbursed by ASASU, and 
that it "will probably be a couple of days" before that process is 
complete.

Ex-surgeon general Elders making ASU appearance

By Ray Stern
State Press
	Former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders will be the 
keynote speaker today for a sexual diversity conference in the 
Great Hall of Law.
	Elders, who served as surgeon general from September 
1993 to December 1994, will speak from 9:45 to 11 a.m., and then 
moderate a discussion on gay and lesbian issues. Registration for 
the $40 conference will be available at the Great Hall of Law 
today. 
	The main focus of the conference is reducing incidents of 
suicide in the homosexual community.
	Dawn Bates, an English professor who helped bring Elders 
to the meeting, said conference organizers were very impressed by 
her speech at the 1994 National Gay and Lesbian Health 
Conference.
	"Dr. Elders considers issues of violence and suicide among 
youth as health issues, as do we," she said.
	Bates added that gay, lesbian and bisexual youth have a 
suicide rate about three times higher than the heterosexual 
population.
	Elders' outspokenness created a firestorm of controversy 
during her 15-month stint as surgeon general, during which she 
was assailed by conservatives for her views on sexuality and drug 
legalization. President Clinton asked for her resignation after 
Elders suggested schools should include discussion on 
masturbation as part of their sexual education curriculum.

Cultural appreciation goal of today's Greek Unity Day

By Brian Anderson
State Press
	In the wake of a turbulent semester of campus race 
relations, several Greek organizations will set aside their 
differences today with other diverse groups during a day of cultural 
bonding and celebration.
	Greek Unity Day begins at 4:30 p.m. in front of Palo Verde 
Main. It includes culturally diverse groups such as the National 
Panhellenic Council, Panhellenic Council and Chicano/Chicana 
Letter organizations.
	Peter Leighton, Interfraternity Council fraternity adviser, 
said Greek Unity Day is an attempt to open the minds of fraternity 
and sorority members to other cultures.
	"Our attempt now is to make (people) aware (of) an 
appreciation of the differences and similarities between all of our 
students," he said. "We certainly are trying to remain consistent 
with the mission of the University, which is an appreciation of 
multiculturalism."
	Charles Calleros, Campus Environment Team chairman, 
said the cohesive effort to promote diversity is an important step 
toward creating a more understanding campus climate.
	"I think it's terrific that they share their identities, values 
and perspectives with one another," he said. "Who knows, maybe 
at the same time they will break down some barriers and 
stereotypes and it will foster some communication in the future. I 
think it's more significant than just a social event."
	Today also kicks off Christmas in April. Erin Murphy, 
Student Life program coordinator, said 700 students and 150 
faculty and staff will repair leaky roofs, resurface floors and paint 
walls in run-down homes in poverty-stricken areas of Phoenix.
	Leighton said about 400 of the Christmas in April 
volunteers are fraternity or sorority members.
	Tracy Tyers, Panhellenic Council president, said Greek 
Unity Day is not a cure-all of campus racial problems, but will be a 
good beginning.
	"I think it's a stepping stone," she said. "I don't think that 
one day is going to do it. It doesn't matter who you are ... it's about 
everybody working together."

Voices of Discovery program deemed successful

By Brian Anderson
State Press
	Participants in a five-week program encouraging cultural 
diversity through dialogue were highlighted at a closing ceremony 
Thursday in the Memorial Union.
	Voices of Discovery grouped together students of different 
ethnic backgrounds to discuss their heritages and cultures.
	All 18 paired groups Ñ ranging from Native American and 
white to African American and white Ñ talked about themselves, 
their families and most importantly, their differences.
	Jesœs Trevi–o, assistant dean of Student Life for cultural 
diversity and founder of ASU's program, said the program was 
successful, except it was not long enough.
	"We've had different groups get into each other's world 
view," he said. "More than likely we are going to have to go to 
seven weeks because it seems that five are not enough."
	He added that the program will probably receive a higher 
turnout next semester because of the success.
	"I think the program is going to become more popular when 
this particular core group graduates and begins talking with other 
students," Trevi–o said. "I think other professors, besides the ones 
we worked with this time around, will want to get involved and 
give credit to their students."
	Ten instructors gave students who participated in the 
Voices of Discovery program extra credit for their efforts.
	ASU President Lattie Coor agreed that the program was a 
success, adding that its uniqueness was the driving force behind its 
productivity.
	"We are all here on this campus every day," he said. "I 
hope that every student can have the experience that (the 
participants) have had."
	He added that other areas of ASU could benefit from the 
program.
	"It's a significant part of ASU now and I would love to see 
a way we can expand it to other parts of the University," he said.

Official gives up administrative post for classroom

By Timothy Tait
State Press
	ASU Vice President for Institutional Advancement Brent 
Brown has announced plans to step down from his high-ranking 
administrative position this summer and return to the classroom.
	Associate Vice President Allan Price will become the vice 
president and Judy Knudson will move into the associate vice 
president's office. Knudson serves as the vice provost for 
community relations at ASU West.
	Brown, who held the position since 1985, said he is excited 
about returning to teaching in the School of Public Affairs. He will 
return full-time to the faculty position he has held since 1972. 
During that time, he earned $103,800 per year. His teaching salary 
has not yet been determined.
	"I have enjoyed my years as an administrator at ASU," he 
said. "I have had the privilege to witness dramatic growth and 
progress for the University. I have always felt that 10 years is a 
long enough time to be in an administrative position, and I am 
anxious to return to the classroom.
	"I have always thought of myself primarily as a teacher, 
and I have continued to teach a class every year," Brown said.
	Price said he is "in awe of the size of the shoes President 
Coor has asked me to fill."
	"I think that as one looks across this University, one sees 
more marks left by Brent Brown than any other one person," he 
added.
	Brown served as ASU's first vice president for University 
Relations until Institutional Advancement began in 1994. 
Institutional Advancement envelops the offices responsible for 
government, community and media relations, University 
development and KAET.
	ASU President Lattie Coor said Brown will be missed for 
his ability to bring the University and the Valley together.
	"ASU will miss the energy, wisdom and uncommon 
commitment of Brent Brown," he said, adding that Brown was 
instrumental in luring the Cardinals to the Valley and was a key in 
making the Super Bowl a success.
	"Brent has been instrumental in gathering and maintaining 
support for ASU West and ASU East, in the Legislature and 
among civic and business leaders," Coor said. "At the same time, 
we are extremely fortunate that Brent had already assembled a 
leadership team in Allan Price and Judy Knudson to take on the 
very important responsibilities of Institutional Advancement at this 
University and the community it helps to support to move into the 
next century."

Alumni to dish up free ice cream for all

By Timothy Tait
State Press
	Students feeling the heat from impending finals may want 
to drag themselves over to the north side of campus today to chill 
out for a few minutes.
	Following the tradition started 102 years ago, the Alumni 
Association will serve an estimated 2,500 cones of free ice cream 
to members of the ASU community, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. today 
in front of Old Main.
	"When the Alumni Association was formed, that is the way 
they commemorated it," said Jeff Lowe of the Alumni Association. 
"This will give some exposure to the association and provide some 
excitement."
	The social is sponsored by Dirck's Allied Moving Services 
and Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream.
	Lowe said members of the Alumni Association's board of 
directors as well as visitors from out of state will scoop ice cream 
and network with students.
	"We just wanted to do something fun for the students," he 
said.

Carsten gives cuts to save the earth

By Scott Walters
Special to the State Press
	"One week, one world, one vision" is the focus of a "Cut-
A-Thon" at Carsten hair salons Sunday in an effort to raise money 
for the Save the Earth Foundation.
	Carsten salons will offer professional $10 haircuts, facials 
and stress-relieving services during the 5th Annual Cut-A-Thon 
event, to be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on a first-come, first-serve 
basis at the Carsten Institute, 3345 S. Rural Road. 
	"All revenue Ñ all the profits, including sales of Aveda 
products, go toward the Save the Earth Foundation," said Carsten 
Wilms, owner of the salon. "We're one of the largest contributors 
in the United States to the foundation."
	Last year, the event raised around $2,700 for charity by 
giving more than 200 haircuts, and expectations are even higher for 
this year, said Erin Doherty, administrative director of the salon.
	The foundation will distribute the profits among 
Conservation International, the Child Welfare League of America, 
the Endangered Species Coalition/Wilderness Society, Peace At 
Home, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation and the Sierra Club Legal 
Defense Fund.
	 Doherty said, "Part of our concept is to be eco-aware, and 
we're also giving good feelings with the haircuts and facials."
	The salon, which is normally closed on Sunday, will 
provide services from all of its facial therapists and professional 
stylists, including Wilms, Doherty said.
	"We take one day and we donate our time and our craft so 
we can give to the Save the Earth foundation," she said.
	"Our goal is to do over 200 heads, over 50 facials and as 
many scalp-relieving treatments as we can," she said.  "I would 
like to see over $3,000 so we can give more (to charity)."

Headline

Story

Editorial: April 19, 1995

	It has been our tradition to run "Boos and Bravos" on 
Fridays.
	Today, we are breaking that tradition for one very 
important reason.
	Today is April 19, 1996.
	One year ago today, a truck bomb tore apart a federal 
building in Oklahoma City. One year ago, 168 people lost their 
lives in the heartland of America.
	Among this number were more than a dozen children Ñ 
innocents whose lives were torn away from them far too soon.
	Perhaps nothing reflects the helplessness we all felt on that 
day than a photograph of Oklahoma City firefighter Chris Fields. 
Just minutes after the blast, Fields was captured on film cradling a 
1-year-old child in his arms.
	There was nothing Fields could do. The child was already 
dead.
	Like us, Fields could only watch Ñ and wish that he could 
bring the dead back.
	One year ago, we learned that the worst act of terrorism 
ever on U.S. soil was perpetrated not by Middle Eastern terrorists, 
but by homegrown Americans.
	Americans had never slaughtered Americans on such a 
scale since the Civil War. And while the bombing could not be 
held on the same magnitude as that horrible conflict, it tore at 
every American just as deeply.
	How could this happen? How could Americans so cold-
bloodedly kill other Americans, on such a huge scale?
	How could this happen in Oklahoma City, Okla.?
	But these are the questions of 1995. What should we be 
asking ourselves in 1996? What should we remember, each time 
April 19 returns?
	There is no sanctuary. If this could happen in Oklahoma 
City, it could happen anywhere, any time.
	The materials are relatively available. The bomb was made 
from fertilizer, available from farming-supply companies 
throughout the nation.
	Certainly, our sense of sanctuary was shattered forever.
	Yet the attack also awakened us to a very real problem Ñ 
what happens when anger and frustration go too far.
	Dissatisfaction with the government has been around for a 
long time. But we had never before witnessed such a violent 
response in our generation.
	When Americans begin viewing the government as the 
enemy, rather than something in need of repair, we are in serious 
jeopardy.
	There are problems within the government. But Americans 
must remember that the avenues to correct those problems lie 
within the system.
	Surely, the answers do not lie in the deaths of 168 
innocents. Surely, the slaying of children will not change anything 
on Capitol Hill.
	Though the bombing was the work of extremists, it was 
very indicative of the hatred that seethes in America. And it is this 
hatred that we must combat.
	Despite our differences, we remain Americans. We must 
not let our personal and political differences get in the way of that 
common, national bond.
	If we do, there will surely be more future days like April 
19, 1995.

Letters to the Editor

Letter: State Press columnist promotes insensitivity toward Jews

	On April 10, the State Press published an article on the 
Middle East thoroughly lacking in facts, citations and 
understanding. That might be forgivable, were it not that the writer 
of the piece (and probably the editor who accepted it) could not 
resist the urge to distort history in a way which angers, pains and 
slanders Israelis and all Jews.
	Steve Forsberg insists that the Jews are now Nazis; that, in 
their attempt to staunch the bloodshed of Hamas terrorism, the 
entire Israeli nation is preaching genocide against Arabs. What 
utter drivel, what reprehensible distortion of a complex problem, 
what an unwarranted and unfair attack on the Jewish people and 
the state of Israel! Perhaps the writer is not an anti-Semite, but why 
must he invoke the symbols and images of the Nazis in anti-
Semitic tradition, to criticize a policy applied not to all Arabs, but 
to Hamas, the fanatic terrorists who have as their aim the 
destruction of Jews and the peace process?
	And with all due respect, since when is there a right for a 
neighboring people to cross borders at will and work in another 
country? We Americans do not fear terrorism from Mexico, yet our 
borders are certainly not open to Mexicans seeking economic 
opportunities in the United States.
	There is room for debate on this or that Israeli policy; these 
debates rage in the Israeli press, so there is no reason why they 
should not appear in print here. But the distortion and hyperbole 
are unwarranted and ought to be unacceptable in a newsroom 
concerned with truth and open debate on complex issues.
	My guess is that those who invoke the Nazi comparisons 
would prefer that Israel not defend itself from the likes of Hamas 
and cannot work up much sympathy for the innocent victims of 
terror Ñ not only Jews, by the way, but Romanian workers, 
Ethiopian tourists, Druze, Arabs and American students. Certainly 
the writer offered no plausible suggestions to the Israeli 
government on how to protect its citizens.
	Be that as it may, Israel, in territories won in the war of self 
defense in 1967, built no concentration camps or gas chambers, 
conducted no legalized, systematic dehumanization of its 
adversaries and no national campaign of hatred against Arabs or 
Palestinians. Problems there were, and the fragile peace process is 
an attempt to solve them and has already achieved for the 
Palestinians greater autonomy and freedom (and in the future, no 
doubt, sovereignty,) than they could ever gain through unremitting 
war against the Jews. In short, if the writer and editor knew the 
slightest bit about the Nazi war against the Jews or, indeed, the 
history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, they would be unable to make 
these invidious comparisons.
	There are, to be sure, some Israelis who hate. But the writer 
has extrapolated from the remarks of a few to impugn the whole 
Israeli nation. What right has he to do Israelis precisely what he 
falsely accuses them of doing?
	The victims of Hamas terror are the persecuted in this 
instance, and Israelis and Palestinians are harmed by Hamas evil 
deeds. Any lawful, democratic government is obliged to find some 
ways to protect its civilian population from death and destruction. 
There can be no peace without security, and, as Shimon Peres has 
argued, no ultimate security without peace.
	And so Israel has withdrawn from territory, negotiates and 
works with the PLO in the autonomous area, has signed and is 
implementing real peace with Jordan. The State Press writer 
simply ignores the achievements of the peace process; he writes as 
if the Oslo agreements, for example, had never occurred.
	I hope one day we will see opinion columns in the State 
Press which debate Middle East issues on the basis of research, 
knowledge and reason. Without these qualities in its reporters, 
columnists and editors, the State Press will continue to egregiously 
malign Jews and contribute to the atmosphere of insensitivity and 
hateful speech which regularly seems to occur on this campus.

Letter: Multiculturalism may ignore individualism

	Is ASU limiting free speech? In his book, The Dictatorship 
of Virtue, Richard Bernstein discusses how multiculturalism has 
become an excuse for limiting free speech and individual freedoms 
at universities.
	This has implications for ASU, which recently created a 
"faculty advisement center" for telling professors how to discuss 
racial and ethnic issues in the classroom. This after a teaching 
assistant, legitimately, took it upon herself to teach about racism in 
her ENG 101 class.
	So are professors not free to discuss or teach their own 
view of how to fight racism? If that view differs from those at the 
"advisement center" will they be harassed and threatened, as was 
the TA? Is having the administration telling professors how to 
teach consummate with free speech?
	While multiculturalism as an ideology has gained support 
among some academics, it continues to be questioned when 
compared with other methods for fighting racism, such as the 
melting pot theory. It could even be argued that the focus of 
multiculturalism on racial and ethnic identity is a cause for 
increased racism.
	If racism is an unnatural focus on group identity, do we 
want to fight it by encouraging a focus on group identity? Certainly 
a proven method for fighting racism, like a focus on the individual, 
should not be discluded. Yet in all the discussions of Native 
Americans, African Americans, Chicano, Latino, etc., how many 
times have we seen the word "individual?" We are continually 
encouraged to think of the feelings of a minority ethnic group. But 
what about the smallest minority of all, a person?
	Certainly in the attempt to fight racism we don't want to 
forget that free speech and the search for truth are the only proven 
methods for success. If truth reveals racism to be the motive of 
some minority group members, do we want to ignore this? Or is 
racism solely the product of White males?
	Is indoctrination with multicultural ideology really the best 
method for fighting racism? Or does this discourage rather than 
encourage individual responsibility? These are all questions we 
need to consider at this point, when so much of our administration 
has become devoted to multiculturalism. Certainly these new staff 
positions will make nice jobs for multicultural scholars. But should 
our only concern be providing work for questionable academics?
	Remember dictatorships are not created overnight. Often 
the creator's true motives are veiled under virtue and good 
intentions.

Letter: All abortion methods have same outcome

	Michelle Carson is pro-choice, yet says the abortion pill 
should not be allowed because she fears it makes abortion too easy. 
Why should it matter if the abortion is easy or not? The outcome is 
the same. She respects a "woman's right to dictate her own life." 
What about the life of the child growing inside her? 
	Then toward the end of the same article, Carson contradicts 
herself: "That fetus has the right to have its side spoken for ..." If 
unborn children really did have the "right to have its side spoken 
for" then abortion in all cases would be illegal. This may sound 
extreme, but the truth is whether it is three weeks or three months 
old, that collection of cells is growing with the intent of being born 
human. Whether the mother kills it with a pill ingested days after 
conception or two months later with the help of a doctor, a human 
being is still being put to death.

Baseball faces UCLA; weekend series crucial

By Ron Matejko
State Press
	The No. 19 ASU baseball team can take a big step toward 
gaining a spot in next month's post-season regional tournament this 
weekend. 
	The Sun Devils (27-16, 9-12) meet No. 14 UCLA (23-16, 
14-7) in a three-game series starting at 7 tonight at Jackie Robinson 
Stadium.
	The Sun Devils were snubbed from last season's regionals 
despite finishing 34-21 overall, 13-17 in the conference, and 
playing over 30 games against ranked opponents.
	Using last season as a guideline, ASU would likely need to 
go 5-4 in its final nine conference games to assure a berth.
	Losing two or more games would put a serious cramp in the 
Sun Devils' chances for postseason play.
	ASU Coach Pat Murphy said the regionals are on his mind. 
	 "I'm thinking about it," Murphy said. "There's not a certain 
conference record that will get us a bid. It depends on what the 
committee thinks."
	The committee is made up of baseball coaches from around 
the nation who choose the top 48 teams to battle for the eight 
positions in the College World Series.
	UCLA took two of three from ASU earlier this year at 
Packard Stadium. 
	Sophomore reliever Ryan Bradley received a three-game 
suspension the last time the teams met for intentionally hitting 
Bruin first baseman Troy Glaus.
	ASU has won five of its last six games, while UCLA lost 
its last game to San Diego State Wednesday night. 
	Junior left-hander Jason Bond (5-3, 4.07) will start tonight 
for ASU. Sophomore Widd Workman (3-3, 5.22), who pitched 6 
2/3 innings of no-hit ball his last start, will pitch Saturday and 
junior Gabe Molina (3-1, 3.30) pitches Sunday.
From the Bullpen
- Junior third baseman Mike Torti sat out last Tuesday's game 
against Grand Canyon. It was the first game he didn't play in all 
season. The junior has batted 5 for 28 (.179) in his last nine games.  
- Freshman left-handed pitcher Phill Lowery will not take the trip 
to Los Angeles as he continues to recover from tendonitis in his 
throwing elbow.

ASU men's tennis beats Aggies, 5-2

By Brian A. Anderson
State Press
	Hollywood came to the Whiteman Tennis Center and the 
ASU men's tennis team could not have written a better script on its 
way to a 5-2 victory over New Mexico State (14-9).
	Under the intense eye of the ASPN television cameras 
Sergio Elias of ASU (11-10) defeated Martin Ostberg of NMSU 7-
5, 4-6, 7-6 (8-6). The match was a marathon affair that lasted over 
three hours, but Elias has been known to have long matches.
	"A long match like this really builds my confidence," Elias 
said.
	Oscar Bustos was slated to play at the No. 1 spot but had to 
bow out due to illness. This thrusted Elias into the television 
spotlight.
	"I have played in front of the cameras before so I was not 
nervous," he said.
	The match will be shown at 7 p.m. Saturday on ASPN.
	With the absence of Bustos, all of the Sun Devils had to 
move up a slot, but this did not affect the outcome of the match 
said junior Wolf von Lindenau.
	"I really enjoyed moving up a spot," he said. "I knew I 
could do well."
	Von Lindenau defeated Jason Noble of NMSU 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 
avenging a loss he suffered to Noble earlier in the season.
	ASU Coach Lou Belken thought the win was important to 
keep the Sun Devils' season on track.
	"It was a rough match for us," he said. "We were playing to 
protect what we have done during the season and we were 
successful."
	ASU sophomore Tsolak Gevorkian won at the No. 2 slot, 
6-4, 6-4 and was somewhat affected by the windy conditions.
	"I played well enough to win," he said. "Especially in these 
conditions."
	No. 5 singles player Hiroshi Nagashima won 6-4, 6-3 and 
did not mind having to move up from his normal No. 6 position.
	"I haven't lost at No. 5 yet, so I didn't have any extra 
pressure," he said.
	The Sun Devils take on 19th-ranked at UofA noon on 
Saturday at the Whiteman Tennis Center. The winner of the match 
will finish fourth in the Six-Pac and land a possible No. 2 seeding 
at the NCAA Regionals. 
	"I think it (Saturday's match) is the biggest match of the 
year for us," von Lindenau said. "We should be in at least fourth 
place every year."
	The match will be the last home affair for three ASU 
seniors Oscar Bustos, Dave Critchley and Paul Reber. Reber is the 
only one of the threesome who has been at ASU for four years, but 
due to an injured shoulder he probably will not play Saturday.
	"I'm a little disappointed especially because it's against 
UofA," Reber said. "This is a really discouraging way to end my 
four years."
	Elias hopes that the Sun Devils can get fan support for 
Saturday's match.
	"I really hope that a lot of students come out to watch 
because this is such an important match," he said. "There will be 
some great tennis being played."

No. 3 UCLA next obstacle for Sun Devil softball team

By Damian Shaw
State Press
	The No. 3 UCLA softball squad marches into Sun Devil 
Club Stadium at 6 p.m. on Saturday to face the No. 24 Sun Devils, 
but there is no fear of the Bruins, according to junior Tammy 
Lohmann. 
	 "We're not going to let them walk on us just because they 
are number three in the nation," Lohmann said. 
	ASU, which sports a record of 24-17 and 4-8 in the Pac-10, 
is hoping to steal at least one of the two contests against the 
defending national champion, Coach Linda Wells said. 
	 "I think we have played some of our better games against 
the better opposition," Wells said. "I think we match up with them 
well. It's all within our control because if we play our game, then 
we can take care of things." 
	ASU already split a doubleheader earlier this season with 
UCLA and hopes to impress NSCA/USA Today Top 25 Poll 
voters by doing at least the same again. The team is currently on 
the bubble of both the rankings and of making the regional 
playoffs. 
	Lohmann, however, isn't impressed with the Sun Devils' 
past accomplishments. 
	"Yeah we feel good because we beat them before," 
Lohmann said. "But we've still have two games to go Ñ so we 
need to play heads up both games and try to win both of them from 
them."
	If the squad is able to snag a game from the Bruins this 
weekend, and possibly one from No. 1 UofA on Wednesday, then 
the Sun Devils would be past their most formidable divisional 
competition.
	"We have 18 games left," Wells said. "Fourteen of those 
are conference games and four aren't, but we can't worry about 
those because we play UCLA on Saturday."

Track heads to California for Mt. SAC Relays

	As the weather heats up, so does the competition for the 
ASU track and field squad.  
	ASU travels to Walnut, Calif., Saturday to compete in the 
38th annual Mount San Antonio College Relays. This meet will 
feature over 8,000 athletes from 20 countries. An estimated 400 
clubs, universities and high schools will participate in the meet 
which starts at 9 a.m.
	"It's a very big meet. This is a great opportunity for people 
to showcase their talents, and we hope that we do just that," said 
ASU assistant track and field coach Lynda Tolbert-Goode.
	Joining ASU will be Arkansas, UofA, Boston College, 
Purdue, Stanford, USC, UCLA and many other collegiate track 
programs.
	World-class athletes, including Carl Lewis and Quincy 
Watts are scheduled to compete.
	Also expected to compete is sprinting sensation Jeff 
Laynes, who ran a 1996 world-best 10.01 seconds in the 100 
meters at the Sun Angel Classic on April 6. It was the 10th fastest 
time in U.S. history.
 	The high level of competition should be a motivating factor 
for the Sun Devils to raise their intensity level a notch, Tolbert-
Goode said.
	"The team is working out hard. We are psyched and I think 
we are ready to go," said Tolbert-Goode, who placed fourth in the 
100-meter hurdles in the 1992 Olympics.
	Tolbert-Goode placed first in the 100 hurdles at the Sun 
Angel Classic, but she will be on the sidelines this Saturday.
	"I am not going to run this weekend. I'll be in the coaching 
mode," she said.
	After last weekend's strong showing by the Sun Devil 
sprinters, Tolbert-Goode is excited about the Mt. SAC Relays.
	"Our men's 4 x 100 team has really been psyched," she 
said. "They really want to do well and qualify for nationals."
	The relay team has already qualified for the Pac-10 
Championships. A positive sign for the Sun Devils has been the 
speed of this unit.
	"We've been moving the sticks around the track really good 
the last couple of practices," Tolbert-Goode said.
	On the women's side, ASU has already qualified 
provisionally in the women's 4 x 100. The team hopes to improve 
that mark Saturday.
	"We want to do it outright," Tolbert-Goode said, referring 
to an automatic qualifying time. 
	The Mt. SAC Relays is ASU's chance to shine
	"For running it's a very big deal," said Tolbert-Goode. 
"This is going to be a big opportunity for a whole bunch of our 
team to qualify for nationals, not only in relays but in the 100-
meters and the 200-meters." 
	Headlining ASU's sprint corps are Mahasse Cornelius and 
Tike Jackson. Both runners had excellent performances last 
Saturday at UofA's double dual meet last Saturday. Cornelius won 
the men's 100 and 200. Jackson was victorious in the women's 100 
with a team-best time of 11.90 seconds.
	Note:  Former ASU standout and 1990 NCAA heptathlon 
champion Gea Johnson competed in the first day of the Mt. SAC 
Heptathlon Thursday. Johnson, competing in the B field, recorded 
a score of  3,512 after four events, which was good for first place.
	Johnson received a restraining order from the U.S. District 
Court in Phoenix in order to compete. It overrides a four-year 
suspension levied by the International Track Federation for failing 
a drug test.
	In order to qualify for the Olympic trials, held June 14-23 
in Atlanta, Johnson must score 5,600 points.
	The three remaining events Ñ long jump, javelin and 800-
meters Ñ are scheduled for today.

ASU women's tennis challenges rival UofA

By Brian A. Anderson
State Press
	The ASU women's team will travel to Tucson to take on the 
No. 4 UofA at 1 p.m. on Saturday at the Robson Tennis Center.
	UofA beat ASU 5-3 on March 26 at the Whiteman Tennis 
Center. This time around the Sun Devils will have to deal with 
traveling and the faster courts. 
	"They (UofA) beat us up here so I'm sure they re expecting 
to beat us down in Tucson," ASU Coach Sheila McInerney said. 
"We're gonna have to play a lot better than last time if we are going 
to win."
	To get acclimated to the faster courts the team had two days 
of practice at the Student Recreation Complex tennis courts which 
are a lot faster than the courts at Whiteman.
	UofA is led by the No. 1 singles player in the nation Vicky 
Maes. ASU sophomore Reka Cseresnyes has the unenviable duty 
of having to challenge Maes. Maes defeated Cseresnyes 6-3, 7-5, 
but the match was closer than  the score indicated. 
	"I really want to beat her (Maes)," Cseresnyes said. "I have 
played her a lot and haven't beaten her yet, so it's payback time."
	ASU is already in the NCAA Tournament so this match is 
mostly for bragging rights, McInerney said.
	"The first year I was here they swept us but they haven't 
done that since," she said. "So from my standpoint this match is 
about pride."
	ASU defeated New Mexico on Wednesday and used that 
match as a tune-up for Saturday's showdown.
	The Sun Devils have won three of their last four, but are 0-
5 on the road.
