store offers more choices. If Fry’s offered a better selection of produce, Morrow said he would shop there more often. “I can get it all in one spot,” Morrow said. A store with a better interior would also be more attractive, he added. “It makes it feel you’re getting more for the money,” Morrow said.

Other supermarkets in Tempe are also decking themselves out in new paint and offering more produce. The Fry’s Marketplace at Baseline Road and McClintock Drive expanded its home products department. Now selections include wine glasses and patio furniture, said Kendra Doyel, a Fry’s spokeswoman. Improvements are constantly taking place at Fry’s supermarkets and any renovations are influenced by customer suggestions, Doyel said. Bashas’ will begin expand-

she said. “I’m concerned about downtown Tempe being turned into a concrete jungle.” Known as the “Armory,” the project includes space for restaurants, offices and commercial projects. The two residential towers above the public space will have about 350 units. “This is probably our most exciting project,” said Eugene Marchese, president of Constellation Property Group, the developer. “To be a catalyst for what’s going on in Tempe is very exciting for us.” The project’s name comes from the building site — a former ammunition storage warehouse for the Arizona Army National Guard. As they have done with previously approved downtown condo projects, council members voted to require developers to earmark money for an affordable housing fund. The developer agreed to contribute $400,000 to an affordable housing fund and to allocate at least 5 percent of ing the deli and bakery departments at its McClintock Drive and Southern Avenue store in January, and finish renovations in April said Alison Bendler, a Bashas’ spokeswoman. Improvements include new copper signs, a Starbucks and a Mexican kitchen that would serve fresh takeout food, she added. Redesigning stores to have a modern, pleasant appearance is an effective way to attract customers, said Mary Jo Bitner, an ASU marketing professor. “If your physical place be-

condo units for “workforce housing.” The city defines workforce homes as those valued around $270,000, Tempe’s median home price. Councilmember Shana Ellis said the workforce-housing requirement was meant to allow young and middle-class families to buy homes in Tempe. “I don’t know of any ASU students now who can graduate and [afford to] lay down their roots here,” she said. The Armory project includes four levels of underground parking, which amounts to about 700 spaces for the residents and the public. The project would not significantly increase traffic in the area because traffic would disperse among several downtown streets immediately after leaving the garage, city planners said. Developers hope residents will use light rail to get around town. Tempe’s transportation center is now under construction across the street. Reach the reporter at jonathan.cooper@asu.edu.
comes run down or looks out of date, people may then feel that the products you sell there aren’t as good,” Bitner said. Bridget Goldschmidt, managing editor of Progressive Grocer magazine, a publication that analyzes the grocery business, said companies are upgrading their stores because of competition from discount stores and upscale retailers. There were 69 annual trips to the grocery store per household in 2004, down from 83 in 1999, according to Progressive Grocer. But average annual

A proposal to build condominiums at College Avenue and Veterans Way has some worried that their view of Hayden Butte will be obstructed by the 16-story structure. trips to supercenters like WalMart increased from 15 to 27 during that time. “Many people, especially those struggling to make ends meet and raise families, find a bargain irresistible,” Goldschmidt said. More upscale grocers like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are attractive to shoppers because they offer foods traditional grocery stores don’t, like ingredients for ethnic dishes, she added. Maggie Curtin, a recreation management and psychology
senior said she usually goes to Fry’s for the basics and Trader Joe’s for its selection of organic produce and imported sauces and spices. But even if Fry’s offered those products, Curtin would still go to Trader Joe’s, she added. “I’m still loyal to Trader Joe’s because they have provided organic produce for a long time and a lot of it is relatively inexpensive,” Curtin said.

POLICE BEAT ASU police reported the following incidents Thursday: uA 33-year-old Phoenix man was arrested Saturday morning at Adelphi Commons on charges of first-degree trespassing. A resident reportedly saw the man trying to look in her room through her window blinds. When he walked away, she looked through her blinds and saw a man with a white polo shirt, police reported. Police were dispatched to the scene, found a man with a white shirt, told him to sit down, handcuffed him and found he had no weapons, police reported. The man allegedly said he was there to visit a girl he met at a club. He had been previously arrested by the ASU police for public sexual indecency, indecent exposure and was warned
for trespassing on all of ASU’s property, police reported. The resident reportedly positively identified him as the man outside her window.
Tempe police reported following incidents Thursday:

Congress takes up final issues By Jim Abrams The Associated Press
K.A. MACDONALD • IDS
Armon Bassett, an IU freshman guard, battles for the ball Wednesday night at Assembly Hall. IU beat Western Illinios 92-40.
HOT ROD: Wilmont records double-double CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 games by nailing 8 of 12 shots, including a 3-for-6 mark from the 3-point line. “(Sampson) told me just shoot when you’re open, and that’s what I did tonight,” Wilmont said. Wilmont and fellow senior guard Earl Calloway returned to the Hoosiers’ starting lineup after beginning Saturday’s game against Charlotte on the bench. The duo sparked the IU offense early – Calloway dished out six assists in the first half, and Wilmont contributed five points and four rebounds. IU came into Wednesday night’s matchup averaging 18 turnovers a game but completed its victory against the Leathernecks with only three
WRESTLER: Family amazed with IU support CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 According to the police report, Cameron, who lives in McNutt Quad, was escaping from Bloomington Police Department officers when he jumped from the third floor of the parking garage at the corner of Seventh and Walnut streets onto power boxes and flipped to the ground, landing on his back. He had been involved in an altercation with another man and several women when the police were called, BPD Sgt. David Drake said Monday. Before the fall occurred, a friend of Cameron’s got into a fight with a 25-year-old man and four women at about 3 a.m. Sunday morning near Kilroy’s Sports Bar on North Walnut Street. Drake said the unidentified friend began “hitting
giveaways. The Leathernecks kept the game close early in the first half, but a 23-5 Hoosier run pushed IU’s lead up to 20 heading into halftime with the Hoosiers shooting 46.9 percent from the field. IU’s defense held Western Illinois to just 36 percent shooting and recorded eight blocks and 10 steals in the contest. “Irregardless of who was in the game, I thought our defensive intensity was solid throughout,” Sampson said. “We rebounded the ball, we got on the floor after loose balls, we played unselfish. And we ran our offense.” In the second half, the Hoosiers were firing on all cylinders, shooting 50 percent from the field – including nearly 44 percent from the 3-point line – and scoring 51 points en route to the victory. Five Hoosiers scored in double-digits, while the defense limited the Leath-
ernecks to just 19 second-half points. “I think our team will get better because of just repetition and playing together,” Sampson said. “Like, we had three turnovers. ... We didn’t all of a sudden put in a new offense or change anything – we just stayed with what we had.” Sampson said after the game that he was pleased with the play of his senior guards Wilmont and Errek Suhr and that he feels they are helping the Hoosiers find their identity. The first-year Hoosiers coach also acknowledged Wilmont’s “energy,” and he was happy to see it come out in Wednesday night’s victory. “Rod has such an outgoing personality,” Sampson said. “Sometimes kids play to their personality, like Rod does. Rod has a big heart.”
on” the women and followed them into the parking garage. Cameron and a second unidentified friend tagged along. After one woman, a 22-year-old IU student, told them to go away, the first unidentified friend of Cameron’s punched her in the eye. She sustained a contusion on her right cheek, one loose tooth and two chipped teeth, according to the police report. The 25-year-old man then punched Cameron’s friend, knocking him to the ground. After the 25-year-old man and the four women clambered into their SUV, Cameron began punching the rear driver’s side window of the vehicle, Drake said, reading from the report. When BPD officers arrived, Cameron “took off running and jumped over the wall” of the parking garage, Drake said. According to the report, Cameron smelled of alcohol when officers
found him, though a Breathalyzer test was not performed. Drake said the two men whom Cameron was with disappeared sometime during the incident, and police have not yet found or identified them. Ankney was amazed with the support she has received from the IU community, including from the Dean of Students Office, the wrestling team and more than two dozen friends around the country who had come to visit her son. In addition, the father of the IU woman injured in the Sunday morning incident met with Cameron. “Her dad came yesterday to see how Eric was and we sat down and had a long conversation,” Ankney said, explaining how she believes Cameron was just trying to help a friend when the argument turned into a physical fight. “Things just got out of hand.”
WASHINGTON – In the final hours of Republican rule, the Senate on Wednesday put forward an all-purpose bill covering everything from normalized trade with Vietnam and tax breaks for millions of taxpayers to an expansion of offshore oil drilling. The House, meanwhile, gave conservatives perhaps their last chance for awhile to vote on an abortion bill. It was defeated. As of late Wednesday, negotiators from the two chambers were still struggling to come up with a common approach to a tax and trade package that could bring the 109th session of Congress to a close. House Majority Leader John Boehner informed lawmakers that they wouldn’t be able to adjourn on Thursday as earlier planned. With talks on a compromise plan making little headway, Senate Finance Committee leaders introduced their own 500-page bill that would renew expired or expiring tax breaks for businesses and middle income individuals and trade items affecting economic relations with Vietnam, Haiti, Africa and Andean nations. The tax portion, said committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, RIowa, gives “continued tax relief to families paying college, teachers buying classroom supplies and producers of clean energy from sources such as wind.” The package would also open up 8 million acres off the Gulf of Mexico to oil and gas drilling,
VOYEUR: Police seize computer equipment CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 about 7 a.m. Tuesday, police were called to the student’s Tulip Tree apartment in response to a suicide attempt, Minger said. When they arrived at the residence, the student was treated for his injuries. Officers then presented a search warrant and confiscated all his computer and photo equipment. At this point, the student admitted to trying to take pictures of the women.
postpone a planned cut in Medicare reimbursements to physicians and extend an abandoned coal mine reclamation program. It remained uncertain whether the House and Senate could come together on a package that would not be so laden with expensive programs that it becomes unpassable. The fix on Medicare payments is estimated to cost more than $10 billion over a one-year period. The abandoned mine bill could cost $5 billion over 10 years. Among the tax breaks, a research and development deduction extension through 2006 and 2007 would cost $16.5 billion. Extending tuition deductions through the end of 2007 would cost $3.3 billion. Another provision allowing taxpayers in states without income taxes to deduct state and local sales taxes would cost $5.5 billion. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas, RCalif., said they were working to keep Medicare payments within budgetary limits. “It will be revenue neutral if you squint.” House GOP leaders, in a parting gesture to their conservative base, brought up a bill that would require abortion providers to inform a woman 20 weeks into her pregnancy that an abortion would cause pain to the fetus. The 250162 vote was well short of the two-thirds majority needed under a procedure that limited debate. The bill defined a 20-weekold fetus as a “pain-capable unborn child.” That’s a controversial threshold among scientists,
with debate over whether a fetus at that stage of development feels pain or reflectively draws back from stimuli. Had it passed, the legislation had almost no chance of advancing in the Senate, while the new Democratic Congress is expected to have little appetite for abortionrelated bills. The Senate on Wednesday approved a measure to renew the $2.1 billion-a-year Ryan White CARE Act for prevention and treatment of AIDS. The bill still needs House consideration. It also voted 95-2 to confirm Robert Gates as defense secretary, replacing Donald H. Rumsfeld. On the to-do list before Congress departs is approval of legislation to continue paying for most federal programs, at last year’s budget levels, through Feb. 15. The legislation is necessary because this Congress was unable to pass any of the annual spending bills for the current budget year, which started Oct. 1, except for the Defense and Homeland Security departments. This funding bill also passes off to the new Democratic majority the tough questions of how to meet spending demands for health and education programs while tackling the budget deficit. The Vietnam bill would end Cold War-era requirements of annual reviews of trade with the communist nation. The House rejected the bill before the Nov. 7 election when the measure came up through an expedited procedure requiring a two-thirds majority.

The timing of the arrest warrant had no connection with the suicide attempt or second confession. He was then taken to Monroe County Jail but was released later Tuesday afternoon,

Minger said the student was not detained immediately Sunday because police were waiting on his arrest warrant to be issued from a judge. “It wasn’t a danger to the community,” Minger said of the student’s original release Sunday. “The crime didn’t involve anybody that would be in jeopardy. Voyeurs or people who commit this type of crime don’t usually want to have personal contact with the people.”
