The SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Sunday, May 18, 19865 Babbitt to Declare State Holiday in Honor of King PHOENIX (AP) Gov. Bruce Babbitt has decided to bypass the state Legislature and declare a state holiday to honor slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King an aide to the governor said, but only employees of the executive branch would get the new holiday. That was as much of a holiday as Babbitt had the power to create and the governor planned to declare the holiday this morning in a service at the First Institutional Baptist Church in Phoenix, Babbitt spokesman Scott Phelps said Saturday. The Legislature failed this spring to pass a bill that would have MacDonald to Run Again For Navajo ribe Leader Phelps noted that the Legislature gives its staff paid holidays including Good Friday and the day after Thanksgiving that no other state employees receive. He said the feeling among Babbitts staff was that the governor could do the same thing with employees of the executive branch.

Phelps said Babbitt aides were unsure by Saturday just how many employees would be affected by the holiday honoring King, but they were working to determine the number. House Minority Leader Burton Barr, a Phoenix Republican and candidate for governor, voted for the bill and said he still supports creation of a state holiday to honor King, but not if it means another paid holiday for state employees. I think Babbitt will cause a lot of conflict with this, Barr said. One of the things that angers almost everybody is another paid holiday. I supported the bill because it didnt add any more holidays.

Barr also took issue with the argument that the Legislature gives its employees holidays that other state workers dont get. We work on Washingtons Birthday and we work on Lincolns Birthday, he said. The legislative staff already gets fewer holidays than other state workers. Sossaman said his major objection to the bill that died in the House was that it would have abolished holidays for Washington and Lincoln in favor of the Presidents Day holiday observed by the federal government. This is certainly a better alternative, Sossaman said.

created a King Day holiday for all state and county employees, while combining Washingtons and Lincolns birthdays into Presidents Day. The measure died during the final week of the just-completed legislative session. Babbitt was in Dallas and could not be reached for comment Saturday, Phelps said. The holiday would be observed the third Monday in January, concurrent with the federal holiday honoring King. Phelps said the executive order would apply only to employees of state executive agencies, not the Legislature or the courts.

And, unlike the bills considered by the Legislature this year, it would not affect either Lincolns or Washingtons birthdays, which are holidays for all state employees. current tribal administrations lack of credibility in national circles. Since MacDonald lost the 1982 election to Peterson Zah, federal grants to a number of tribal programs have been decreasing. This is due to a failure by current tribal administrators to be aggressive enough to fight for these funds, the former chairman said. create enough jobs.

Instead, he said, the tribe has to be willing to spend millions to entice light industry to the reservation. It doesnt make sense, he said, to educate Navajo students, then have no jobs available for them on the reservation when they graduate. Another area he plans to address in his campaign is what he calls the PlACV SALE STARTS MAY 18; ENDS MAY 24 toguolr Prices May Vory At Some Stores Due To local Competition WINDOW ROCK (AP) Peter MacDonald, who led the Navajo Tribe for 12 tumultuous years, says he is set to announce his candidacy for tribal chairman. The announcement was to be made late Saturday at Teec Nos Pos, the Navajo community in far northeastern Arizona where he still maintains his tribal voting registration. Since leaving office in 1983, MacDonald and his family have lived in Flagstaff while he worked as an energy consultant in the Phoenix area.

MacDonald, 58, is planning to campaign this summer as a reform candidate, much as he did in his first successful campaign in 1970. Like 1970, the major issues will be unemployment and the lack of a private sector on the reservation. While touring the reservation during the past few months as an unofficial candidate, MacDonald said that he was told the same thing by Navajos from all across the reservation: More jobs are needed and needed now. MacDonald said he feels that just building shopping centers would not be a solution because they do not Kay Bennett To Seek Navajo Chairmanship GALLUP, N.M. (AP) Kay Bennett, who has sung her songs at the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial the past 30 years, said Saturday she is running for chairman of the Navajo Tribal Council.

She said tribal government needs a woman and it is time for a qualified woman to run for chairman. Bennett, 64, said that if she were elected, she would not promise a Cadillac for every hogan or a chicken in every pot, but would tour the Navajo Reservation to determine the needs of the people. Bennett, of Gallup, said she" would for a large manufacturing company to move into a vacant electronics plant in Shiprock. Bennett, who also is an author, dress designer and business investor, will be running against incumbent Peterson Zah in the August primary election.

ASU Business College Warned To Shape Up TEMPE (AP) The College of Business at Arizona State University has been warned to correct certain deficiencies or risk losing its status as one of the nations 245 accredited business colleges, school officials said. The American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, in a report last month, said the college has too few faculty members and too small a budget for the size of its enrollment, according to John Kraft, the colleges newly appointed dean. I think clearly what we have to do in the next year is to put in place changes and procedures to indicate that, in the long run, we will solve the imbalance between resources and students, Kraft said Friday. Kraft and other school officials said the concerns raised about the Business College are typical problems for schools that have undergone rapid growth.

The college underwent a routine accreditation review this spring for its undergraduate and graduate degree programs, which last were reaccredited in 1979, according to the assembly's director of professional development. Charles Hickman. But instead of reaccrediting the college, the assembly deferred action for one year, Hickman Meanwhile, the colleges accreditation remains in force. After next year's review, Hickman said, the assembly can decide to reaccredit, place the college on probation, or revoke accreditation. Out of 20 accredited business schools reviewed this year, five including Arizona State were deferred and two were placed on probation, Hickman said.

He said assembly policies prevent him from revealing the names of the other colleges or specific concerns about the university. 'Save 27 Save 22 A. Our 8.97. 2-tray tackle box with 15 compartments. lockable.
