Fife Symington is Arizona’s new governor-elect. Symington edged form er Phoenix mayor Terry G oddard by 4 percentage points Tuesday in the state’s first run-off election. Symington received 52 percent of the votes to G oddard’s 48 perc e n t The difference am ounted to m ore than 40,000 votes. Early election returns had Goddard ahead by as many as 3 percentage points, but NAU student and Symington supporter Gary Greb was no t worried. “This is what we expected. We knew that once the Mesa and Sun City districts started reporting they would pull us aro u n d ,” G reb said. “We knew it would be all downhill after that, absolutely n o looking back.” In somewaysthe election paralleled the Novem ber general election in which G oddard lead through much o f the night before seeing Symington eventually becom e the front-runner. Symington collected about 4,000 m ore votes than G oddard in N ovem ber, b ut because of third party candidate votes, Symington failed to receive m ore than 50 percent o f the votes, as required by Arizona’s constitution.

With Symington as governor, Greb said, .\rizona can look forward to a stronger economy, lower taxes and an improved national image. “Symington will bring about a turnaround in image. He will show that we’re n o t a state o f racist hicks that take bribes,” he said. Political science student Keely S. Varvel disagreed. “It’s a sad day for Arizona. I think we will see higher tuition, higher deficits, higher taxes. The only thing we will see lowered are environm ental standards as Symington sells o u t to big business,” she said. Varvel, who worked for G oddard’s Coconino County campaign, said she is worried about the high-profiled businessman’s fiscal policy. “Symington cam paigned as a successful businessman, but there is m ore evidence that his business is being run into the ground,” she said. Vaivel cited Symington's problem s with his land developm ent deals, unpaid taxes and his refusal to reveal his financial records. “He has a personal debt to insurance agencies in the range o f$200 million dollars, and now he is going to be charged with regulating those agencies," she said. Varvel said one factor in G oddard’s loss was his lack o f cam paign funding. Symington spent m ore than twice as much as G oddard, she said. G oddard urged cam paign spending reforms during a speech to supporters shortly before m idnight Tuesday. G oddard said the election showed th atany candidate who spends enough can get elected. Greb said Symington needed to spend more m oney because Goddard had better nam e recognition. Greb said G oddard’s speech “was an effort to sling m ud and make excuses, as if it would make a difference." “It shows what a loser G oddard really is,” Greb said. MOM PROMT BUU u S.

In Novem ber’s general election, voters approved the creation of a community college. O ne problem the board is facing is creating an acceptable budget. The public is supposed to vote on the pro p o sed b u d g et May 21; however, cost for the election is estimated to be$ 100,000, said Paul Neuman, president o f the com munity college board and director o f NAU Television Services. “Right now the board operates with no money at all. We d o n ’t know where the m oney is going to come from ,” N eum an said. “Everything hinges on the election.” A community college could alleviate some of the pressure with NAU looking at a possible enrollm ent cap, Neuman said. “Instead of the university having to turn people away, the students are able to get the courses at a community college,"Neuman said. “This will open up a litde m ore room for your ju n io r, senior and graduate courses.” David Ripley ST he Lumberjack Demonstrators march on Members of People for Peace marched from Prochnow Auditorium to Flagstaff City Hall Thursday in a demonstration against the threat of a ground war in the Gulf.

By Erika T hure The Lumbetjack Students who conserve water, gas and electricity on campus could learn in the long run that what goes around comes around. Sharon Marmaduke, director of the University Budget Office, said utility bills for the Office o f Residence Life are separate from utility bills for the rest of the un iversi ty. But if NAU could save money in either area, it could eventually benefit the students, she said. Future raises in on-cam pus rent could be lessened if Residence Life saved som e of the $1.8 million allocated for utility bills, said Glenn Hoge, business m anager for Residence Life. “O ur budget is based on the rent we collect- If utilities were to goup, we would have to ask for a greater increase in rent," he said. Students benefit from energy saved throughout cam pus because m oney allocated for utilities th at is not used can go to oth er areas. All parts of the university except Residence Life receive udiity funding from the state. Last fiscal year, NAU saved $549,966 on utilities from the state-allocated am o u n t o f $5,948,000. Off-campus behavior subject to regulation By Ric Griffin The Lumberjack Arizona university’ students and employees now can be punished twice for com m itting one crime. A change in Student C ode of C onduct m ade by the Arizona Board of Regents in 1990 allows the university to regulate the conduct of m embers of the university community on and off campus. This means crimes committed off campus can result in punishm ent by both Flagstaff officials and NAU adm inistrators. The Student Services Committee o f Associated Students of NAU isurgingNAU students to dem and changes in the adm inistration’s Code of Conduct. The com m ittee is concerned abouttwo specific clauses. The first clause states th at “off-campus conduct may also be subject to discipline." A nother statem ent in the code defines “university com m unity” as “all university employees and students.” “The possibility o f abuse is just trem endous ... regardless of the university’s intentions,” said Mike Chamness, vice president o f Student Services. “1 think th at it's double jeopardy. ” Universitv administration does Save energy, save money not agree, said Tony Ross, NAU’s dean of students. “This is n o t a criminal process, this is an administrative process,” Ross said. In. tWe rwst, when a majoi^feLony occurred off campus ii restricted the adm inistration ’s ability to take any action, Ross said. The change in the code was made so that specific crimes — such as m urder, assault, rape and large-scale drug dealing — could be dealt with, Ross said. Even if individuals were arrested and put in jail, they still could get o u t on bail and be back at school the next day, Ross said. H e said he thinks the adm"mbtration needs the ability to suspend or expel students for ofT-cainpus crimes. “Realistically we know it (abuse) is probably not going to h appen.” Chamness said. However, Cham ness said the potential for abuse is enough of a reason for students to fight for revisions in the code that will clarify exactly what crimes university adm inistrators will deal with. ASNAU’s Student Services Comm ittee is creating a Student Bill of Rights that will help individuals understand their rights as studen ts, Chamness said. Patsy Reed, vice president for Academic Affairs, said students can help with the university budget crunch by conserving energy. “If there is som ething students could help with, they’d probably rather save on electricity and end Stretching the dollar NAU BUDGET a serin ef report* up with a nice piece of equipm ent in the biology lab,” Reed said. O ne group on campus, the Energy Conservation Task Force, is working on cutting utility costs. The group's mission statem ent states its purpose is to investigate energy conservation and to recom m end actions, said Susan Thomas, coordinator of the task force. T he task force, composed o f students, faculty and staff, is drafting a five-year energy m anagem ent plan. O ne issue this plan will address is Gov.
