When ASU President Lattie Coor got wind of the controversy, he requested that Chavez be issued another invitation for the ASU Associated Students Lecture Series. Chavez accepted and tentatively is scheduled to debate ASU Law Professor Paul Bender on Feb. 26 on official English. Arizona voters approved a referendum to make English the official language of state and local governments in 1988 but it was overturned by a U.S. District Court judge last year.

However, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last month raised the possibility of an appeal Chavez, who recently completed her second book, At the Crossroads: Hispanics and the United States, is a senior fellow at New York City's Manhattan Institute in and a former director of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. By Victoria Harkar Tha Arizona Republic Controversial author and "official English" proponent Linda Chavez has accepted an invitation to speak at Arizona State University, university officials said Wednesday. Chavez touched off" a furor on campus last month when she accused ASU officials of censorship because a previous invitation to speak during National Hispanic Heritage Month was withdrawn after Hispanic student leaders complained.

Ruben Alvarez, facilitator of the Chica-noHispano Coalition on campus, said he and others did not want Chavez to speak because her views promote the destruction of cultural diversity, not its preservation. Chavez, who was rejected last year for the same reasons at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, said this was just another "Phoenix Mayor Paul Johnson Phoenix President Jerry Colangelo 1Z (center) and iTCouncilwoman Ljrjda Nadolski of east Phoenix joke about ownership of downtown Phoenix land proposed as part of a Phoenix Indian School tend swap with the Barron Collier Co.

of Naples, Phoenix would get a 73-acre park at the Phoenix Indian School site from Collier. The city had required a 40-acre park in return for zoning for an office, retail and residential project on the property. Barron Collier would retain 15 acres on the Indian School property to build 1.5 million square feet of office and retail space already approved by the city. The company would be able to construct a 300-room hotel at the Indian School site as part of the project. Barron Collier would receive two city-owned blocks downtown to build 2.84 million square feet of office and 150.000 square feet of retail space.

The blocks, valued at roughly $10 million, are bounded by Jefferson, Washington, First and Third streets. The firm would agree to include the Phoenix bus terminal in the development if city officials couldn't relocate it. The remaining 16 acres of the 104-acre Indian School, which closed in 1989, would be used for medical facilities for Arizona veterans. impasse over the site. "It could all fall apart tomorrow," Johnson said.

"But we are closer now than we have ever to realizing our dream." Councilman Craig Tribken, who heads a council subcommittee on the Indian School site, said the company's letter is a good first step toward resolving the issue. "Several details still must be addressed, and I wish they were in the letter," said Tribken, whose district includes the site. Roy Cawley, president of Barron Collier's real-estate division, said he is optimistic that the swap will work. The two sides face a Nov. 18 deadline to complete the deal.

That's when federal legislation that allows Barron Collier to acquire the Indian School parcel will expire and the land will revert to the federal government as surplus property. It then could be sold to the highest bidder. The legislation allows the company to trade 108,000 acres of environmentally sensitive Florida wetlands and a $35 million payment to an Indian education fund for the Indian School site. LAND SWAP, from page Bl neighborhood groups seeking a park at the Indian School site, said she likes the idea. "I think it could be wonderful," Aeed said.

Barron Collier's letter is the first time that details of the land swap have been put down on paper for the city to evaluate. To date, the negotiations have consisted of meetings between city and company representatives. The letter was delivered to the mayor Wednesday morning, triggering a series of rapid-fire events at City Hall. Council members were briefed about details of the swap in a closed-door session. Johnson also held a news conference on the steps of old City Hall to announce the tentative agreement and say that formal negotiations have begun.

"I tell you today that I can finally see light at the end of this tunnel, and it seems to be shining on a 75-acre park for all Phoenicians to enjoy," Johnson said. He warned that there still are several issues that need to be hammered out to break a months-long shoo spectacular SAVE 20 TO 25 af 5 sale 44.99 nine west Reg. $60. Minzy. Tailored career pump.
