Arrest made in
SAC rape case
By John Largo
The Lumberjack
A form er resident o f SAC Family Housing was arrested Nov. 8 for a
sexual assault that occurred in early September.
Michael A. Saeugling, SI ,was charged with one count o f sexual assault
and one count o f sexual abuse after a complaint was filed with C oconino
County Attorney Camille Bibles.
A ccording to the N A U Police record, the victim, w ho also lived at SAC
Family Housing, knew Saeugling and had previously dated him.
T h e victim said she had been apartment-sitting fo r a friend at SAC
Family Housing when the suspect came over to visit her. She said he
became sexually aroused, began making advances toward her and tried
to remove her pants. She m oved away and he removed his pants and
began masturbating. H e then grabbed her and began to touch her
sexually while she struggled to free herself. T h e victim said the suspect
applied force to a pressure point on her hand and forced her down on
a couch. H e then proceeded to sexually assault her.
T h e victim said she was afraid o f Saeugling because he had guns and
knives available to him. Saeugling admitted to touching the victim
sexually at the time o f the reported sexual assault but denied the rape
charges.
According to the report, the sexual assault was reported after Saeugling
was accused o f child molestation in the SAC Family Housing area. He was
later cleared o f the molestation accusations after interviews with chil­dren
reportedly involved denied he had ever touched them in a sexual
manner.
N A U police Detective S g t Robert Carmichael said police have deter­mined
that no type o f molestation took place involving Saeugling.
Police reports say the victim refused to press charges against the
Saeugiint(£or unspecified *"V>r the Coconino County Attorney’s
O ffice decided to levy charges against him because o f sufficient evidence
recorded.

PROBLEMS
at the
POST OFFICE
Budget, time
create hassles
By Ric Griffin
The Lumberjack
Some students believe inefficiency is a
problem with N A U ’s postal service, how­ever
problems often start with students.
Students’ most common complaint o f
N A U Postal Services is that it’s too slow.
“I justwish their service was a little faster.
Th ere needs to be more p eop le,” said
Rachel Dandrea, senior political science
major.
“It’s much too slow, especially when I ’m
expecting something I need at a certain
time,” said T o n y Mason, ju n ior engineer­ing
major.
Mail traveling to NAU has to g o through
Phoenix, the Flagstaff Post O ffice and
then ends up here, said Edwin Talley,
manager o f N A U Postal Services. Th e ex­ception
to this is mail from Denver and
Albuquerque which comesstraight to Flag­staff.
T h e post office has six student em ploy­ees,
Talley said.

N A U appropriates
registration
revenue spending
By Robert Gehl
The Lumberjack
Wan t to know wher e your tuition
goes?
T h e N AU Local Budget will tell
you.
A ccording to the document, re­leased
last week by the University
Budget O ffice, almost two-thirds
o f student tuition fees — techni­cally
referred to as Registration Rev­enues
— goes to the same state
fund that pays for prisons and wel­fare
commitmen ts.
This is n ot to say, however, that
tuition money is going to pay for
th ese p ro g ra m s , said R a n d y
U delman, executive director for
the Arizona Students’ Association.
“Ultimately what happens is the
m oney goes to the state, and then
back to the univerities through
state appropriations. T h e only
answer for why this happens is that
it always happens this way.”
T h e grand total fo r tuition col­lections
for the 1991-92 school year
is budgeted to be 328,049,600.
O f that, §9,819,000 is retained
by N A U for funding local p r o ­grams.
T h e largest percentage o f that,
m ore than two-thirds, goes to pay
the university’s debt.
Sharon Marmaduke, university
budget director, said abou t$6.7 mil­lion
goes towards paying for the
mortgage and the bonds that N A U
has accrued over the years.
T h re e and one-half percent o f
registration revenues, or $976,700,
goes to the “Regents Financial Aid
S e t-A s id e ,” d e s c rib e d by
Marmaduke as “an extra pool o f
money available for financial aid
to need-based students who m ight
not be able to afford the rising cost
o f education.”
The Depatment o f Athletics re­ceives
the fourth largest allotment,
with 3.06 percent or $860,000, fol­lowed
by the Office o f Finacial Aid
with .81 percent or $230,000.
Athletics also receivesaddi tional
state and local funds.
Associated Students o fN A U was
the sixth largestgenerator offunds
receiving .52 percent o f student
tuition, or $ 146,700.
“Studen tsshould remember that
this isn’ t a set percentage, our
approriation varies from year to
year, depending on the overall
bu dget p ictu re," said C olleen
Harrington, A SN AU vice president
fo r Administration and Finance.
Off-campus
sexual assault
reported
By John Largo
The Lumberjack
A female student was sexuallv
assaulted early Sunday m orning,
Nov. 10, at an off-campus partv
sponsored by the Blue Key H o n o r
Society.
T h e party, known as the “Bent
Key,"washeld atah ou sein M oun­tain
Dell, on the outskirts o f Flag­staff.
This report marks the eighth
sexual assault o f an N A U student
this semester. T h e eight reported
sexual assaults occurred both on
and o ff campus.
C oconino County SheriiTs De­tective
Paul Teran said the inci­dent
was first reported to Flagstaff
police by officials o f Flags tafTMedi-cal
Centerw here thevictim sought
treatm ent
Teran said the victim had gon e
to the party with friends and dur­ing
the course o f the evening they
had becom e acquainted with some
men.
T h e group eventually went to
the back o f the ho use where a m *le
suspect got the victim alone and
sexually assaulted her in the back­yard.
Th evictim then returned to her
dorm on campus and was later
take n to the h ospital by her friends,
Teran said.
Because the sexual assault took
place outside o f Flagstaff city lim­its,
T e ra n said the C o c o n in o
County SherifTs O ffice is investi­gating
the in cid en t
“W e are still trying to locate the
suspect so we can question him
about the incident,” Teran said.
“W e d o n ’ t know i f he is a student
or i f he is a m em ber o f the Blue
Key organization.”
Teran said written statements
w erer taken from the victim and
other students who knew the sus­pect.
“Wre can’t give out his name un­til
we talk to him,” he said. “We
h op e to know m ore by the end o f
the week.”
Teran said the victim does wish
to press charges against the sus­pect.

Report underscores
gender inequalities
By Ric Griffin
The Lumberjack
Professional women at N A U are continuing their fight against male
biased hiring, advancement, treatment and pay practices.
T two years ago the Arizona Board o f Regents form ed the Commission
on the Status o f W om en to gather, com pile and evaluate data on the
status o f women at N A U , Arizona State University and the University o f
Arizona.
“Women have not been full participants in the decision making
process," said Virginia Blankenship, chair o f N A U ’s Commission on the
Status o f Women, and chair of the Departmentof Psychologv.
When the commission’s study was completed this year the commission
came to N A U to present their report
Afour-hour presentation at N A U ’s duBois Confrence Center on N ov.
6 explained the results of the report titled “Reaching the Vision: W om en
in Arizona’s Universities in the Year 2000.*
The report states that professional women at Arizona’s three univer­sities
are treated on unequal terms with men.
Unequal pay is one area the report addresses.
"Women are just paid less,” said Ruth Jones, Implementation Task
Force member, and chair of the Departmentof Physical Sciences at ASU.
“Even within the same ranks or levels, men are receiving higher pay
than women performing the same work.* according to the report
In 1990 men received a higher avenge pay than women at the three
schools.
The report contains 50 recommendations on how to make improve­ments
on the different issues. Several o f these issues deal with equality in
representation.
