SJSU student arrested on drug charges By Cristal Guderjahn Spartan Daily Staff writer

A 19-year-old San Jose State University student was arrested on drug charges Tuesday morn-ing in Joe West Hall on Ninth Street, said Lt. Bruce Lowe of University Police.

Edward Giver, who lives on the third floor of the Residence Hall, was arrested at approxi-mately 7 a.m. and later charged

Blacks change parties

ANALYSIS

Nora Profit Ross Spartan Daily Staff Writer

When the November 1994 elections were over and the smoke began to clear, no one disputed the fact that the white American agenda had changed. Little notice was being taken of the thunderstorm brewing among black voters.

With the election of J. C. Watts (R-Okla.) to Congress and the ascension of black spokes-men like Armstrong Williams, the nightly talk show host of "The Right Side," the term "black Republican" is no longer an oxymoron.

In 1994, six Republicans each received at least 13 percent of the black vote in successful gubernatorial campaigns, with Gov. George Voinovich receiv-ing 40 percent in Ohio. In California, Pete Wilson received 21 percent of the black vote.

In Colorado, black Repub-lican Vikki Buckley was elected secretary of state. In Ohio, J. Kenneth Blackwell, also a black Republican, was elected state treasurer. There are now 10 black Republican state legisla-tors scattered across eight states.

There were similar results In the Senate races. Twenty-seven black candidates ran for Congress as Republicans last year, nearly doubling the number from 1992.

with possession of a controlled substance. Giver was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail in San Jose.

Giver’s roommate, SJSU fresh-man Jake Brown, 18, said police officers broke down his door with a battering ram and ran into the room shouting repeat-edly, "Where’s the coke?"

"Someone told the police we had a kilo of coke in our room,"

Brown said Thursday. "The police think (Giver) is some kind of big-time drug dealer. They came in and busted up our room, but there is not one bit of coke in this dorm."

Police had a search warrant when they entered the room, Lt. Lowe said. It was unlikely that one anonymous tip would call for a search warrant, Lowe said.

"A search warrant has to be

signed by a judge who has rea-son to believe that the informa-tion in the warrant is valid and trustworthy," Lowe said. "A sim-ple phone call is not going to be sufficient in and of itself to lead to the issuance of a search war-rant."

Noise from the arrest woke several other students on the floor, said a woman resident who requested anonymity.

6t. Patrick’s Day not just for the Irish By Linda Taaffe Spartan Daily Stall Writer

Around the time of California’s gold rush, a group of San Franciscans reserved an entire hotel for a memorable celebration. As the evening sky darkened, hundreds of city residents gathered at the hotel. Some toasted to friends and good health in the "official drinking room," while others guzzled whiskey and beer in the "unofficial drinking room."

The drinking, singing and dancing last-ed well into the morning. By the time the police arrived, such a huge crowd had crammed Into the hotel that the wooden floor collapsed into the basement.

So began the first St. Patrick’s Day cele

bration in San Francisco. This festive holiday was once celebrat-

ed only by a small group of Catholics in Ireland. Over the years, the holiday has become more popular in the United States than its homeland.

"St. Patrick’s Day isn’t celebrated in Ireland as it is here," said James P. Walsh, academic vice president at San Jose State University and author of "The Irish in The American West."

"In Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day is a work-ing day, not a holiday. Actually, the day’s festivities have been imported there from America," Walsh said.

Even the Lord Mayor, John Gormely, and city council members from Dublin,

Ireland came to San Jose last week to cel-ebrate Irish Week and lead weeklong fes-tivities.

Irish dignitaries like coming to America to celebrate because they are well received here, Walsh said.

St. Patrick’s Day may be gaining popu-larity in the United States because of a strange phenomenon � the number of Irish descendants In America Is increas-ing, Walsh said. He said either more Irish are coming to America or more people are claiming Irish ancestry.

The 1990 U.S. census reports more than 42 million people living in the United States are of Irish descent. That’s

Lt. Lowe would riot release details of the arrest or identify the controlled substance Giver allegedly had in his possession. Brown said the police found two doses, called "hits," of LSD in the room, but no cocaine.

"They ripped open the futon and pulled out all the cotton stuffing," Brown said. "They took all our clothes out of the drawers and threw the mattress

out in the hallway It was like a movie."

The arrest was the result of a San Jose Police Department investigation, Lowe said. The University Police, which assist-ed the San Jose department with the arrest and search, is now helping the city police with the investigation, Lowe said.

Women in science benefit from concert Pele Juju will perform Sunday By Michelle Alaimo Spartan [laity Stall Writ,

The all-female band, Pele Juju, is bringing its explosive rhythm to the Sin Jose Civic Auditorium Sunday evening to help foster the interest of sci-ence and math in young women.

San Jose State University’s Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) is sponsor-ing the concert to raise money for its outreach programs at junior high and high schools "to encourage more young women to get into science and engi-neering," said Caret Boekema,

WISE was formed in 1988 by Boekema and a female physics student who wanted to bring inure females into the science and engineering field. Approximately 20 percent of SJSU physics students are women, Boekema said

Young women are typically steered away from technically skilled jobs that use math and science skills, said Leisa Fearing, coordinator for the WiSE benefit concert.

Compromise to watch March Madness March Madness is filially here,

and not a minute too soon, either. This is a time of the year when

I’ll be glued to the idiot box with my bracket sheet taped to my chest, shouting out my best Dick Vitale impression BABEEEEEE!

I’ll be watching every game, from the top-ranked UCLA-Florida International game, right down to the national championship game on April 3 in Seattle, Wash.

Unfortunately, watching all 63 games does have its disadvantages.

First of all, I don’t have cable television, but my girl friend does. Just thinking about it gives me chills. I can hear all the complaints and nag-ging that will be spewed upon me as I enter her house and ask ill can change the channel.

"But I’m watching my favorite soap opera," (or Oprah. or Donahue, or whatever ridiculous shows women watch).

"But, honey, the Temple-Cincinnati game is on in five minutes."

"What!? You’re coming over here just to watch those stupid games aren’t you? The only reason you’re coming over is because I have cable."

Blah, blah, blah. Nagging, bitching, complain-ing. It’s inevitable during this time of year for every college basketball nut like myself.

The nagging used to make me feel guilty. "No, honey, I’m not coming over to just to

watch basketball. I came over to see you." But, no longer. After being in this relationship for over a year.

I’ve learned to justify my obsession with March Madness and use logic and compromise as my defense.

To all my fellow basketball nuts � How many

times has your girlfriend forced you to watch a cat show on televi-sion?

Or, guilted you into seeing "Beaches" instead of "Terminator 2" with a sweet, innocent, down-right pathetic look on her face?

Or, the classic, forced you to shop with her at the mall, drag-ging you from store to store for three and a half hours or until you drop dead, which ever comes

first’? The point I’m trying to make is that this is

your time. Don’t let her make you feel guilty. Turn the tables on her and make her feel guilty for once.

Men and women both have obsessions, whether it be basketball or shopping. We each think the other obsession is stupid and a waste of time.

But there is a way to get what you want � compromise. It is the key for any good relation-ship.

When she asks if you’ll go shopping with her, don’t complain and give her a long face. Go with her and hold her hand as she goes in and out of every single store. Give her your honest opinion when she tries on clothes and never complain about how long she’s taking.

Instead, think about all those Sundays and Mondays you’ll be able to watch football. Or, for me, the beautiful month of March when I’ll be able to watch those precious and unforgettable 63 games of heart-stopping, adrenaline-pumping, slam dunking basketball games.

New Indy Car race ill-conceived Indy Car racing in 1995 is bet-

ter than ever. Diversity is the rule rather than the exception.

The list of competing chassis, engine and tire combinations include the likes of Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Penske, Lola. Reynard, Goodyear and Firestone.

More good news is on the way as Toyota has announced that it will field an engine at the end of

this season or next season. They will be develop-ing their own chassis with Dan Gurney’s All American Racers who’s foray into Grand Touring Prototype (Group C) racing with Toyota proved successful in their domination of the former IMSA GTP series.

Indy Cars have the most network television coverage of any motor sport in the United States.

Indy Cars retain certain qualities of Formula 1 that are considered desirable: they race street circuits and natural terrain courses. But they delve into other areas because they race ovals as well.

With races in Australia, Canada, the United States and drivers from all over the world, the PPG Indy Car World Series has become an inter-national motor sport.

Despite the current popularity of Indy Car racing, there are those who wish to go against the old axiom, "If it ain’t broke don’t fix it."

Upon the start of the ’94 Indy Car season, Tony George, Indianapolis Motor Speedway pres-ident, announced that he would introduce a new racing series composed of so-called Indy Cars.

His motivations for creating the new series

� Letters to the Editor

include: reducing the sky rocket-ing price of admission for a team to field an Indy Car, creating a breeding ground of sorts for young American drivers and to have only oval tracks on the rac-ing schedule.

According to Road & Track’s April ’95 issue, the new series will be called the Indy Racing League.

Engine sizes will be reduced from 2.65 to 2.2 liters. Fuel capac-

ity will be reduced from 40 to 35 gallons. The cockpit will be wider and changes will be made to the chassis, specifically targeted at reducing aerodynamic efficiency.

One has to wonder why anyone would want to make the cars less aerodynamic. While a car that is less aerodynamic is slower, ultimately it is not as safe because it is not as stable.

If Tony George is unhappy with the constant proliferation of technology in Indy Car racing and the rising costs, then perhaps he should cre-ate a retro-race series composed of Indy Cars from the ’60s.

While Indy Car racing is more expensive than it used to be, one should keep in mind that everything is more expensive than it used to be.

For example, when Honda’s first generation CBR600E-Hurricane came out in 1987, they went for about $3600. A 1995 CBR600F3 costs no less than $7300.

Tony George, take a rest.

Goodyear loses promising spokesman Dear Editor,

I am writing to bring some John Wayne into Chris McCrellis Mitchell’s bulge battle (Mar. 10)

I used to be referred to as "big guy," accused of giving bear hugs, and Goodyear wanted a copy of my rØsumØ. But no longer!

This winter I signed up for

Associated Students Campus Recreation’s SpartAerobics. I hate exercise, but everyone at work was doing it so I signed up for the fun. I liked it initially because I have more energy.

Now, about two months later, I have added two holes to my belt to make it smaller. I also organized my food consumption plan. I am currently signed up

for session one and planning to sign up for session two next week.

Other benefits are: people say , "you look great," 1 now give warm hugs, and Goodyear sent me a rejection letter.

Amount of night classes influenced by budget Dear Editor,

In the March 13 issue of the Spartan Daily, the article "Working students want more night classes" erroneously reported that the School of Art Design in spring 1995 offers 70 classes of which only five are at night.

Actually, the School of Art and Design in spring of 95 offered 175 regularly scheduled

classes of which 17, nearly 10 percent of the curriculum, were scheduled at night.

Additionally, many of our students work with faculty through independent studies to facilitate scheduling. Internships form an equally important part of our profes-sional degree programs.

We try to schedule our class-es to help as many of our stu-dents as possible and to maxi-

mize the use of our facilities. Unfortunately, our night

classes are generally the last to fill because student demand is significantly lower at night. In fiscally tight times, this makes scheduling in these periods more difficult.

Violence will not resolve abortion debate Two newborn babies were

washed ashore on the beaches of Southern California last week, both dead with their umbilical cords attached.

Have the recent acts of violence against abortion clinics driven women to fear for their lives and end up solving their problems in ways that are considered inhumane but were commonplace in medieval Roger R. Ramirez days?

Are we being transformed into a society of fear stricken people, having to watch our backs when doing anything controversial?

Where is the social consciousness that built this nation? Just because a religion deems abor-tion to be against their morals, must the rest of society be subjected to such constraints? Is this what all the years of war, suffering and death have led people to believe in, confronting social debate by using violence?

The Civil War in the United States was a war fought over the social implications of slaves. Are we prepared to make war over the social implica-tions of abortion?

Haven’t we learned from the past or are we just making the same mistakes and placing no value on human life?

Even if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns their Roe vs. Wade decision tomorrow making it illegal to perform abortions, police wouldn’t go out and execute all the doctors on sight who are caught performing abortions. They would first incarcer-

The most horrendous serial killers are put through the trial system. They have an opportuni-ty to defend themselves and are judged by a jury of their peers. The courts decide their punish-ment and do not bow to mob rule or violence to carry out the sentences.

I do not see the justice in what these extreme fundamentalists are trying to achieve. Instead, I see them as fanatical anar-chists and zealots who undermine their cause by such illogical and inhumane behavior.

Violence cannot stop social behavior, nor will it help to support a certain cause. Violence only leads to death and destruction.

These fundamentalists who prey on defense-less doctors or clinics should be considered criminals. The people who preach to stop abor-tion through violence should be arrested for leading a criminal element.

Unless society deals with the question of abor-tion and its alternatives in a more constructive manner, we can only look forward to more horri-fying stories of abandoned babies.

call the Shamrock Project. The money they raise during the 72. hour bike-a-thon goes to the National Committee to PrevPrt Child Abuse. The fundraiser took place on 10th Street.

RIVERSIDE (AP) � The micro-scopic particles in smog cause an estimated 275 deaths in Riverside and San Bernardino counties every year, a new envi-ronmental report said.

The lethal pollutants choke people and can cause heart attacks, according to a draft copy of the California Environmental Protection Agency report ob-tained by The Press-Enterprise of Riverside on Wednesday.

Among those most sensitive to pollutants are infants, chil-dren with asthma, the elderly and others with existing respira-tory illnesses, researchers said.

The report provided the first documented link between the heavy smog in the inland por-tion of the Los Angeles Basin and death rates in the corre-sponding counties.

Researchers also concluded that some of the smallest parti-cles, measuring one-twentieth the diameter of human hair, con-tribute to smog-related deaths.

"We’ve known for 40 years ... that particle smog could kill people," said Bart Ostro, the report’s author and chief of the agency’s air pollution unit. "What we didn’t know is that the effects could occur at lower concentrations. Now we are able to find these effects."

Smog particles come from a number of sources, including road grit, oil, tires, cooking grease, dirt, diesel exhaust, sea salt and chemicals from smoke-stacks and tailpipes.

According to the findings, the number of annual smog-caused deaths in both counties could be as high as 545 or as low as six.

Critics said researchers could be mistaking smog particles as the cause of death when other terminal ailments are present.

The study compared the deaths of 100,000 people in both counties with smog parti-cle measurements at the Ontario International Airport between 1980 and 1986

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) � Drivers trapped on the Bay Bridge by a radio publicity stunt � a traffic -blocking haircut, in a parody of President Clinton � may be able to sue the station for damages, a state appeals court has ruled.

If station KSOL, as alleged, deliberately blocked the bridge, it would be a case of false imprisonment, the 1st District Court of Appeal said Thursday.

The escapade took place in May 1993, a week after Clinton supposedly tied up part of the Los Angeles International Air-port for an hour while he got a haircut in Air Force One. Recent accounts have disputed whether the haircut delayed any air traffic.

A KSOL van parked across several westbound lanes of the bridge during the morning com-mute while an employee got a haircut. The haircut took only a few minutes but the traffic jam

A civil suit against Muller and the former owners of KSOL,

which has since changed u�Alier-ship, was drafted as a class action on behalf of all drivers affected by the tieup. The suit said their exit from the bridge was blocked for four hours, from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m., causing inconvenience, emotional stress and missed hours of work.

The suit was dismissed with-out a trial by San Francisco

But the appeals court said one of the claims � that the sta-tion deliberately blocked the bridge, confining the drivers’ freedom of movement � was a proper basis for a damage suit.

Court reviews use of DNA testing

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) � The state Supreme Court agreed Thursday to rule on the legality of DNA evidence in California.

As Los Angeles prosecutors prepared to offer evidence on genetic testing in O.J. Simpson’s murder trial, the state’s high court for the first time granted review of a DNA case.

The case involved a man con-victed of rape and other sex crimes in a November 1989 attack on a woman in a Bakers-field motel room. Sergio Venegas’ conviction was based largely on a DNA analysis of blood and semen stains at the scene.

An FBI criminalist said the genetic material in the samples and Venegas’ DNA were shared by one in 65,000 people in the general population, and one in 30,000 among southwestern Hispanics.

The state’s 5th District Court of Appeal overturned Venegas’ convictions and 65-year prison sentence Jan. 3, saying the FBI’s statistical analysis fell short of generally accepted scientific standards. The court also said

designed to tell black Repub-licans how to succeed as candi-dates. The RNC hopes "Project Pioneer" will produce a new gen-eration of black Republicans.

Newt Gingrich, Republican Speaker of the House, was reported by The Washington Times as saying to the crowd of more than 50 black GOP hope-fuls, "There is no greater moral challenge to the Republican Party, and to America, than the challenge to reach out to every citizen of every background."

Even though many are fan-ning the flames of a black Republican trend, some aren’t buying the idea.

Roy Christman, a San Jose State University political sci-ence lecturer, said, "I don’t think it’s a trend. A certain percent-age of blacks have always voted Republican. I don’t see the num-bers of blacks voting for Republicans as large enough to be called a trend."

Miami Herald writer Leonard Pitts Jr. said in an opinion piece, "Their heads are filled with happy visions of the Newt-man chillin’ with the brothers down in the ’hood. You might say the elephant is putting on blackface to attract African-Americans. Yes, blacks will pick and choose

the accuracy of the FBI’s DNA testing was not adequately established.

The state Supreme Court said today it would review the case. Justices Joyce Kennard, Ar-mand Arabian, Marvin Baxter and Kathryn Mickle Werdegar, the needed majority of four on the seven-member court, voted for review.

The court also granted review of two other DNA cases and indicated it would hold them until it decided Venegas’ case.

In both those cases, appellate courts upheld the convictions and the prosecution’s use of DNA evidence. The defendants were Frank Lee Soto, convicted of -a November 1989 rape in Garden Grove, and Henry Wilds, convicted of sexual assaults in North Hollywood in December 1986 and February 1987.

Last year the state’s high court reaffirmed previous rulings requiring a consensus in the scientific community before jurors could hear evi-dence based on new scientific methods.

Coby Harris, SJSU assistant political science professor, said, "You can’t be simple about it. Some (black) Republicans like the notions of self-reliance, and still feel they are very commit-ted to uplifting the race."

Currently there are two black Republicans in Congress, Watts from Oklahoma and Gary Franks from Connecticut. Both were

elected by a predominately white constituency, and both are at odds with the Congressional Black Caucus.

There is also a new group of black conservatives called the "Minority Mainstream," who recently staged a rally at the Capitol to support the Republican Contract With America.

And, then there’s Armstrong Williams and South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurman (once a

staunch segregationist), walk-ing arm-in-arm to accept an award from the Greater Washington Urban League, a black organization similar to the NAACP.

If there is one thing that can be said about the changes in the voting habits of black Americans, it would be that the situation is like an ongoing soap opera � we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Experts analyze Guadalupe River flooding Assorieted Press

Shirley and Sandy Christ-iansen resignedly threw out what they couldn’t save and sal-vaged what they could after the Guadalupe River flooded their basement in San Jose.

"We’re going to put a sign up here saying, ’A river ran through it,� Sandy Christiansen said as he cleared away debris in a wheelbarrow.

The Guadalupe, usually a placid stream, was turned into a raging torrent by a series of severe rainstorms over the past week. It spilled over its banks in several places, causing the worst flooding in downtown in 40 years.

The Christiansens and others living and working along the river spent days cleaning up the muddy mess it left behind.

"There’s not much you can do. You just throw things away," Shirley Christiansen said as she scrubbed metal shelves on the sidewalk in front of her creek-side house. The couple lost antique furniture, photographs and their teen-age childrens’ school mementoes.

"If we collect anything again it will be steel � washable," she said.

Meanwhile, flood-control ex-perts on Thursday were still try-ing to figure out what combina-tion of factors made the river

We’re going to put a sign up here saying, ’A river ran through it.’

Sandy Christiansen San .liniv flood victim

flood where it did � and how to prevent future floods.

"We’re trying to get a techni-cal handle on it," said Teddy Morse, spokeswoman for the Santa Clara Valley Water District.

"We’re looking at where the rain fell," she said. "And we’re also looking at our reservoir capacity and whether releasing some of the water ahead of time would have made a difference."

Elected officials said they would press harder for com-pletion of flood-control projects on the river because of the latest disaster and a lesser but still -serious inundation in January.

The Guadalupe River runs north to San Francisco Bay through San Jose, giving the city of more than 800,000 a touch of nature with its tree-lined banks.

But the stream’s watershed is large, extending into the rainy Santa Cruz Mountains.

Prolonged rain turns the Guadalupe into a fast-moving, debris-laden river.

Flooding has occurred occa-sionally for at least hundreds of years, forcing the Ohlone Indians to move their villages when the river rose. In 1777, early European settlers moved to higher ground after losing crops on the banks of the river.

In the early 1850s, when San Jose was California’s first capi-tal, the Guadalupe turned the streets to mud. Within a few years, the state Legislature moved to Vallejo.

This January, a narrow stretch of the river that last flooded in early 1986 inundated a residential area south of downtown and turned a low-lying section of Highway 87 into a lake. That same sec-tion flooded again on March 10, two days after a series of storms began.

But this time the flooding was worse, occurring downtown as well. Excess water could only run into the streets because reservoirs have been nearly full since the January rains.

Office buildings, museums and government buildings closed so workers could leave. The river also spilled near the San Jose Arena, forcing the San Jose Sharks to postpone a game.

6

About 500 homes and 100 businesses suffered flood dam-age. The city estimates damage at $5.5 million, but that figure is expected to rise, said Kevin Pursglove, a spokesman for Mayor Susan Hammer.

In the Christiansen’s neigh-borhood, near the arena, water from the Guadalupe and over-whelmed drains ran several feet deep. Days later, debris remained caught in fences and in the trees growing low on the river’s banks.

Two blocks away, the popular hangout Henry’s Famous Hi-Life was empty, bereft of customers, tables and chairs. But manager Richard Morris-Aranda wasn’t complaining.

After all, the muddy water that nearly reached the top of the bar also was gone.

"It really doesn’t look that bad � not anymore," he said. It looked like "Armageddon" when it flooded last week.

The water tossed tables and chairs about like gravel in a shaken fish bowl. Refrigerators were ruined. The Dumpster floated away. Damage would run at least $200,000.

"You just have to take a deep breath, step outside, compose yourself and come back and start cleaning," Morris-Aranda said. "We needed a new floor, anyway."

Nevada Las Vegas Lady Rebels congratulate one .1 the first of two softball games against the San

Spartans ready for NIST battle

By Linda Taaffe sp.,,t. Patty Stall Wnter

Bats will swing and balls will fly when 11 teams from around the United States compete in a softball tournament hosted by the Spartans this weekend.

This will be the ninth annual National Invitational Softball Tournament organized by San Jose State University at Twin Creeks Sports Complex in Sunnyvale.

This invitational is one of the three largest college softball tournaments played in the country.

"We draw from all over the United States, not just California." said Debbie Nelson, SISU softball coach. "The tour-nament provides the communi-ty a chance to see sports played ;it a high level of competition."

At last year’s tournament, the Spartans made it to the champi-onship game for the first time.

softball

They came in second. All of the teams, except

Washington, have played in the NIST before.

This year the Spartans will be competing against three teams ranked in the USA Today/NSCA Top 25 poll. California is ranked No. 7, Nebraska No. 10 and Washington No. 10

Nelson expects the team to do well even though it is going into the tournament with only six wins and 15 losses for this season.

"1 don’t think we will have any problems," she said. " We’re going into the tournament with lots of energy and excitement."

It’s hard to predict if this year’s tournament will be more competitive, said Amy Eberhard, SJSU sports informa-

Broncos aren’t a surprise anymore BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Two

years ago, Santa Clara was the darling of the NCAA tournament with its first-round upset of sec-ond-seeded Arizona in the West

Regional.

Coach Dick Davey woke up the next day to find 15 tele-phone messages from inquiring reporters asking: "Who are the Broncos?"

Back then, the Broncos resembled a bunch of free-spirit-ed surfer dudes who crashed college basketball’s biggest party. Their long hair and fear-

less style of play created an

instant stir in staid Salt Lake

school, with 7,800 students, bor-

Mississippi State (20-7) in

today’s first round at Boise

State University Pavilion.

Point guard Steve Nash was a

freshman in 1993, when the

Broncos were living the "we’re

just happy to be here" cliche.

"People know a little bit more

about us this year. They know

who we are, and we’re not really

going to sneak up on anyone,"

Nash said. "Everyone’s aware

we’ve upset people in the past,

so I think it’s a different kind of

challenge."

Nash, Santa Clara’s leading scor-

er with 20.9 points and 6.6

assists and a dangerous 3-point

shooter.

"He’s a guy that has the ball

in his hands most of the time

and he makes the decisions

when he’s going to shoot it or if

he’s going to let someone else

shoot it," Williams said.

The Bulldogs, ranked 18th in

the final regular-season poll,

lead the nation in field-goal per-

centage defensively, holding

opponents to 37.9 percent.

"They’ve played against some

good competition, so they’ll be

battle-tested," Nash said.

"They’re probably one of the

most underrated teams in the

country."

MSU was co-champion of the

Southeastern Conference’s

Western Division, with defend-

ing national champion

Arkansas. Erick Dampier, who

leads the SEC with 63 percent

field-goal shooting, may give the

Broncos trouble in the middle.

"(Dampier) can really push to

establish position very effec-

tively, so we realize he’s going

to be somebody we’re really

going to have to do a good job

on to win the game," Davey

said.

approximately 38 millirm more than all of the Irish in Ireland, Walsh said.

Today, most people either don’t acknowledge the holiday or they associate March 17 with drinking, dancing and par-tying.

Raychelle Cooks, a public relations major, doesn’t cele-brate the holiday.

"I’m not Irish so St. Patrick’s Day is irrelevant to me," she said "It’s just another day."

SJS1! student Elizabeth Mullin is Irish and plans on cel-ebrating the holiday with friends at a club.

"I’ll probably go to a club for happy Mats and leave before it gets too packed," she said.

spreading Christianity through Ireland.

According to books about the Irish holiday, St. Patrick was born during a time when most people practiced pagan religions. When he was 16, Irish pirates captured hint from his home in England and took him to Ireland where he worked as a slave tending sheep.

Six years later, St. Patrick escaped to France where he became a Christian monk. He returned to Ireland and spent

� SPAR

the rest of his life converting the Irish into Christians. He founded in ore than 300 churches and baptized more than 120,000 people before his death in A.D. 461.

Legends surround the coura-geous saint. Some say Ireland’s national flower, the shamrock, was used by St. Patrick to explain Christianity.

These days. people honor the memory of St. Patrick by wearing green on March 17, the day he died.

St. Patrick’s Day festivities may be coming to an end in Ireland as battling Protestants and Catholics try to achieve peace. "It may become impo-lite to celebrate the holiday at all," Walsh said.

In America, however, every-one wants to be Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, he said.

Student arrest: Residence Hall raid From page 1

Brown said his roommate was suspended from school, although the office of the vice president of student affairs would not confirm the student’s suspension because the case is still under investigation. The office policy, however, states that a student cannot be sus-pended without due process, said Stacey Morgan-Foster, asso-

ciate vic e president of student affairs

"We df, have the right to sus-pend people from the university prior to a hearing if it’s a serious situation," Morgan-Foster said. Issues of drug possession, she said, are considered serious.

Drug use in SJSU’s seven Residence Halls is not a new problem. said Fred Najjar, SJSU’s director of university

housing services. Lately, he said, there has been a resur-gence in the use of drugs, including cocaine and LSD.

"We certainly know about it, and we’re not happy about it," Najjar said. "We’re trying to resolve the situation. It’s a tough circumstance. It’s not acceptable behavior at all

(Inc resident of Joe West Hall, who requested her name not be

used, said some students use marijuana and drink alcohol in the Residence Halls. She was unaware of the arrest, and said she doesn’t know Giver.

"You smell marijuana on dif-ferent floors, usually on the weekends," she said. "It doesn’t bother me. It’s not on my floor or near my room."

Giver was not available for COMITIent.

Rapper Eazy-E hospitalized with AIDS By John Horn Amss eft ed Press Enterfammeni 5.

LOS ANGELES (AP) � Singer Eazy-E, who co-founded the groundbreaking "gangsta" rap group N.W.A., disclosed Thurs-day that he has AIDS and his publicist said he is hospitalized in serious condition.

The 31 -year-old Eazy-E, whose real name is Eric Wright. was diagnosed with AIDS after being hospitalized for breathing trou-bles three weeks ago, publicist Norman Winters said

Wright does not know how he contracted the deadly disease.

A inters said. The singer also did not know he was HIV-positive; the initial diagnosis was full-blown AIDS, Winters said. He declined to identify the hospital where Wright is being treated.

"I would like to turn my own problem into something good that will reach out to all my homeboys and th..ir kin because I want to save (them) before It’s too late," Wright said inn a statement read by his attor-ney, Ron Sweeney.

"I’ve learned in the last week that this thing is real and it doesn’t discriminate. It affects

everyone," said Wright, who was a drug dealer before becoming a singer.

N.W.A., which stands for Niggers With Attitude, released the landmark 1988 album "Straight Outta Compton," �a chronicle of inner-city squalor. It sold more than 2 million copies.

A follow-up record, 1991’s "Niggaz41.1fe," sold 954,000 copies in its first weeks of re-lease to become the first hard-(’ore rap album to hit No.1 on the charts.

Most recently, Eazy-E has been a solo artist (1993’s "It’s

I n (Dr. Dre) I Whim Killa") and has produced and supervised several other acts, including Above the Law, Thugs in Harmony, Blood of Abraham, MC Rein and Hoes With Attitude.

N.W.A.’s music mixed swatch-es of previously recorded music � called samples � with rhyming, frequently vulgar lyrics. Few of N.W.A.’s songs could be played on the radio, and yet the band was tremen-dously popular and influential.

N.W.A. alumni Ice Cube and Dr. Dre went on to be trend-set-ting and controversial rappers.

At Wednesday’s meeting, directors decided, also by unan-imous decision, to allocate Chicano Commencement a total

of $5,200 to help defray costs of their 25th anniversary. This is the first time Chicano Com-mencement has asked for A.S. fonds to help with this event.

The total cost of the Chicano Commencement is $52,000. The rest of the cost will be covered by advance ticket sales, fund-raisers, and corporate and pri-vate sponsorships.

Gamma Zeta Alpha asked for and received $5,250 to cover a weeklong celebration for Cinco de Mayo. The festival will include dancers and musicians who will appear at a variety of campus locations in the week preceding Cinco de Mayo.

In other business, Jonathan Simmons was appointed to the position of director of commu-nity affairs, which had previous-ly been vacant.

The board also discussed the wording of a bill introduced by Marilyn Charell, director of aca-demic affairs, that would create a committee to oversee the building of a bicycle path on the San Carlos Street construction.
