While the students and faculty Interviewed discarded the idea of returning the shah, they cautlooed the u.se ol military force iD attempting to free the bostages. Iranians would be justified iD killing the shah, said Jazayeri. Iranian students interviewed, however, viewed the shah as a criminal and want to see him returned to Iran to be tried.

" His death would set an example for other countries and make others aware." "We don't bave a whole lot of options,"said Michael S. Bratcher, a sophomore police science major from Glendale, Ariz.

(Koran), our holy book, if a person kills aoother person, then that person should be punished in a similar manner," said Jazayeri, "This provides a lesson for others." "We realize there is a natural emotion, a fired-up attitude possessed by Americans,' • said Dehdashti, " but there is no way to agree witb the shah." "The topography of Iran makes military actioo difficult,'' said Vaunt V. Merchant, associate professor of humanities. "Military action should be a last resort." Students and faculty members inter-tent leader . The ~l~.~~~! ® think they want to pressure the United States, knowing that our foreign relations are kind of shaky right now." "There bas been a gradual building of animosity toward the United States in Iran over tbe years," said John M. Ostheimer, associate professor of political science. " They're envious of our power." Iranian students were indifferent when pondering the action and leadership ability of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Kbomeini. Khomeini hasn't had control of the situation there si nee the revolution last year. said Poirier. " Khomeini is a religious leader, not a political leader," said Poiher.

SECHRlST. That is exactly what happens, accordiug to tbe dean of university services, Joseph C. Rolle, and NAU Postmaster Edwin Talley. " Vandalism of the machines and equipment is tbe primary reason for not opening on Sunday," Rolle said. "We discovered most of the damage occurs on Ibis day." The candv machine located in the mailroom was removed because of vandalism, and the cigarette machine is usually broken into sometime during the school year, Talley said. The mail boxes ba ve been broken into and, because of vandalism, the walls have bad to be repamted. .. All of this comes out of my budget," Talley said. " II keeping the mailroom hours longer means more vandalism we would have to start charging the students, and it's my feeling they get charged enough." Talley said if it was up to him, be would have the ma1lroom closed at 5 p.m. on weekdays, and not open on the weekend. Rolle d1sa~reed a bout reducing hours for the mailroom. " Mail is important to all people and we need to give them as many hours to get it as we can ... However. Rolle said be thought the present hours were adequate. Currently, tbe mailroom is open by 6 a.m. and closed about 11:45 p.m. on weekdays. Saturday it is open by 6 a .m. untilu p.m. and it is closed on SUDday.

" lt's been a concern for several years," he said. Margaret R.

With this change, modern languages be in a block of optional liberal a long with the physical education which used to be with tbe uni requirements.
