The Red Cross said the inside ceiling of a duplex apartment in Tempe collapsed from an accumulation of water on the roof. The only storm-related injury found by the Red Cross teams was a Fountain Hills man who suffered a bump on the head, but did not require treatment. The Red Cross said it visited areas outlined by the Maricopa County sheriff's department and other authorities.

It said anyone else who needed help should call 264-9481. FOUNTAIN HILLS (UPI) Four homes in Fountain Hills were destroyed by high winds in a storm Friday night, the Red Cross said Saturday.

In north Scottsdale, three homes had major damage and 12 homes Doctor to be Prosecuted February meeting.

The Regents also granted approval for NAU to submit tn application to the Federal Communications Commission for authority to upgrade the campus radio station, KAXR-FM. The station must increase its broadcast power to at least 100 watts to retain the necessary FCC licensing. Funding for operation of a stronger station is proposed to be a combination of grants totaling $145,700 and $110,500 requested in the universitys Board of Regents-endorsed 1980-81 state budget request. Should funding not be obtained, FCC licensing would be forfeited. In other action, Kurt Freitag, Arizona Students Association president, appeared before the board to request that the Regents have more meetings in Flagstaff.

He said there is concern at NAU that the board has slighted NAU by conducting only two of its meetings a year in Flagstaff. Because some students cannot afford the time or expense to attend the meetings in Tempe and Tucson, Freitag suggested the board change one of its spring or fall meetings at ASU or the UofA to NAU. education credit courses offered by ASU and NAU in a shared territory of Maricopa County be continued. These courses primarily involve the advanced degree programs for teacher education. While some of the course offerings are similar, Phillips reported the two universities are working to avoid situations in which two courses might be canceled because of a lack of students, when one course might be offered successfully by either institution.

Phillips noted that the boards current policy on continuing education specifies that the policy must be reviewed by the board no later than the spring semester of 1980. The offering of the duplicative and competing courses in Maricopa County by ASU and NAU should 1 be addressed by the board in that review, he said. The roles of the institutions should be assessed within the context of the larger question of the determination of the appropriate mission and scope of each university, Phillips said. The board is to have the report on continuing education and off-campus credit courses offered by the university from July 1, 1979 to Dec. 31, 1979 at its educational excellence and innovation and application of new technology in education.

Furthering the expansion of the research and service effort might entail increasing faculty-release time in terms of sab- baticals and the ultimate goal would be that at least 8 percent of the faculty receive sabbaticals each year, according to the statement. A long-range plan also calls for increasing a proportion of the universitys budget for institutional support of organized research. Additional curricular and extracurricular activities for students might include involving. them in monitoring and evaluating the student services provided. The statement goes on to suggest that on-campus housing be provided for all students desiring resident facilities at NAU.

The three universities mission and scope statements will be studied by the Regents, and it is anticipated the board will vote on the adoption of the statement at its May meeting. In other business, William B. Phillips, the Regents academic planning coordinator, reported off-campus and continuing system at all levels in this segment of education. NAU further proposes to establish a university vocational-technical program. The mission and scope statement also suggests the university use the physical science and health sciences program to support a professional program leading to a degree of doctor of optometry and undergraduate degrees in op-tometric technology.

Another projection for university expansion included in the statement is the establishment of an Indian education center to better meet the needs of the Native American population in the area. The university also expressed a desire to examine the feasibility of advancing to the national forefront in: Indian education; rehabilitation and training and research in rehabilitation; liberal arts; programs and recognition for exceptionally gifted students; energy-related research; and a center for continuing education. To help improve the quality of instruction, the statement suggests the establishment of a special fund provide faculty grants and awards for BY LISA WHITE Sun Education Report ea TEMPE Trying to help determine what the future holds in store for Northern Arizona University is the focus of a mission and scope statement submitted by NAU to the Arizona Board of Regents Similar statements also were accepted from the University of Arizona and Arizona State University. NAUs mission and scope statement calls for increased emphasis in the areas of teaching, research and service. To meet the expanded roles in those areas, the university has indicated its goals will be to maintain and improve the quality of curriculum, instruction and advisement; enhance the effectiveness of the university and its research and service mission; and have more and better curricular and extracurricular activities and service for students.

In an effort to meet those goals, the university proposes exploring the feasibility of establishing a center for vocational leadership, with an increased emphasis in applied research. A major effort also would be directed at improving the educational delivery her mother who took her to Flynn for treatment. Hamilton said he first heard of the incident when his ex-wife called to say the child had been removed from her home and put in protective custody. Flynn, a Republican, served in the House from 1975. to 1978, representing Tempe.

He did not run for re-election in 1978. Flynn served in the House and was vice chairman of House Health Committee when the legislation was passed in 1978. It was not known how he voted on the bill.

(UPI) -Jay Snow will take you to the cleaner. He'll launder three shirts for a dime and dry-clean a three piece suit for a quarter with a catch. It has to be a silver dime and a silver quarter. Both of which are worth far more than face value these days. "I thought of the idea roughly a week ago when silver was at $15 for $1 worth of coins." said Snow, owner with his wife of Bettys Astro Dry Cleaners In Phoenix.

Silver, which has rocketed at a greater velocity than gold in international trading, was selling Friday for about 28 times the face value. So a silver 50-cent piece would yield $14. Still Snow says he has had three customers take him up on the proposition. It's kind of a gimmick I suppose in these days of gimmicks, Snow said. Regents Okay Personnel Safeway to Build Stores reported the Regents staff will be developing a study designed to determine if profile data on university faculty can explain variations in the average salaries at the three universities.

Ten state legislators, including Sen. Tony Gabaldon, D-Flagstaff, have requested the board study the equity of faculty salaries at the universities. PHOENIX (UPI) Safeway Stores Inc. will build 24 new stores statewide and hire nearly 1.000 employees within the next three years, company officials announced Friday.

In an appearance before the board Friday, Kurt Freitag, Arizona Students Association president, said while he was not prepared to discuss the fairness of the salary rates for graduate assistants and associates, he felt the board should consider waiving the tuition of resident graduate teaching assistants. The Regents policy committee recommended the Regents staff be directed to study the matter further. i In other business, Robert A.

Huff, Regents executive coordinator, employees are not eligible for unemployment benefits. According to the report, prepared by William B. Phillips, Regents academic planning coordinator, the universities regard graduate student employees as students first, and the fact they are employees as secondary. In his report, Phillips concedes the minimum salary paid to graduate assistants has not increased significantly during the last 10 years, and they have fallen behind inflation.

The system, which will affect about 8,000 non-academic personnel in the university system, was mandated by the three-state Legislature three years ago to equalize job titles and pay scales among Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University and the University of Arizona. The total cost to implement this system is little more than $3 million. Of that total, $1.6 million is slated to come from state funds and $1.4 million is anticipated in other funds, such as grants. About 312 non-faculty persons would be affected by this personnel system at NAU and it would cost about $346,866 to adjust those salaries at NAU.

Two hundred two generic titles have been identified in the classified personnel system, and each generic title is attached to a salary range with a total of 21 pay grades. The ranges of the salary structures have been revised upward to 2ft percent, and, implementing the system, no employees salary would be reduced. In another salary matter, the board was presented a-report regarding concerns of graduate student teaching assistants. The report was prepared in response to issues raised at the Regents December meeting by a of A graduate student. It had been brought up that student employees make less in real dollars than they did 10 years ago.

Additional concerns expressed last month include the fact that money paid to most graduate assistants is considered taxable income by the Internal Revenue Service and students are required to pay federal taxes, but FICA taxes are not deducted from the money paid to graduate employees, Another concern was that because graduate assistants or associates must be students in order to be employed and must make progress in their academic degree program to be eligible for reappointment as graduate assistants or associates, they have no assurance of continuity of employment and each subsequent appointment is considered a new appointment and not a continuation of a previous relationship. As a result, graduate PHOENIX (UPI) Hopi Tribal Chairman Abbott Sekaquaptewa was among seven people appointed Friday to five Arizona boards and commis-, sions by Gov. Bruce Babbitt. All of the appointments take effect Monday, subject to Senate confirmation. Sekaquaptewa and Mary Louis Montana of Yuma were appointed to the state Community College Board of Directors.
