i 2 The SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Friday, February 9, 1990 Window Rock school head quits over assault charge tion and American Federation of Teachers at Window Rock suggested, in a January 10 letter to the board, alternative methods of administering the district should the superintendent position become vacant before the end of the school year. The student enrollment for the district which includes the communities of Fort Defiance, Window Rock, St. Michaels, Sawmill and Hunters Point is about 3,000 students in K-12 and is predominately Navajo. By BRENDA NORRELL Sun Correspondent FORT DEFIANCE The superintendent of Window Rock Public Schools asked the board not to renew his contract Thursday night, after being accused of attacking a local man on New Years. Guy Archambcau a Sioux-Hopi who is a doctoral candidate at Northern Arizona University asked the board not to renew his superintendents contract which includes an annual salary of more than $50,000.

The board granted the request at a school board charges. A source within the prosecutors office confirmed that the alleged incident, which occurred in the home of a female teacher on campus, is under investigation. Archambeau was on personal leave out of the state Friday morning and unavailable for comment. He is married to Marilyn Johnson, director of the Research and Training Center at the Institute of Human Development in Flagstaff. The Window Rock Education Associa meeting here.

Archambcau replaced superintendent Anslcm Davis, two years ago when Davis resigned in the wake of an on-going FBI and Apache County probe into bidding and contract fraud by former school officials. Eddie Tso, an employee of DNA Legal Services in Window Rock, stated in a January 1 1 letter to the school board that he was attacked by Archambcau. The incident occurred during the early morning hours of January 1, 1990, in which Mr. Archambcau physically assaulted me. At the time, I was spending the night with a friend at the Window Rock Elementary School compound.

Mr. Archambcau entered the apartment by means unknown to me and he then proceeded to attack me by kicking and hitting me repeatedly. Because I was asleep at the time I was unable to defend myself, Tsos letter said. Tso asked the Navajo Prosecutors Office in Window Rock to file assault and battery My endorsement, winning may be tied very, very closely RIC MOSER Ive been interested in politics since I was 1 1 and I helped stuff envelopes in a Senate campaign in Wyoming. My father, a professed Republican, nearly disowned me because the Senate candidate was a Democrat.

He won and that was one of the last successful candidates I ever backed. I first voted in 1968, going through a great deal of difficulty to do so. I was in Vietnam at the time and had to jump through some truly entangled wads of red tape to get registered and vote from halfway around the world. I could have saved myself the effort. I think one of the state House candidates for whom I voted was elected.

Other than that, I think I was perfect 0-40 or some such thing. I always blamed Hubert Humphrey for his coattails. If Ronald Reagan had those kinds of coattails, South Dakota would be a communist state. The list of people cursed with my support comprise a Whos Who of political ineptitude. George McGovern, Ted Kennedy, John Anderson, Gary Hart and Richard Gephardt have all enjoyed my enthusiastic support for the nations highest office.

Of the major party candidates, only McGovern made it as far as the general election, only to suffer one of the most humiliating defeats in American political history. Anderson was a protest vote in 1980. 1 knew he wouldnt win, but I couldnt force myself to vote for the star of Bedtime for Bonzo or a second time for Jimmy Carter (yes, I did side with the winner in 1976, but only after Kennedy had been submarined in the primaries). As my confessions would indicate, I am now and always have been a registered Democrat. However, that has never stopped me from voting for an occasional Republican or working actively for the defeat of a Democrat.

The Republicans have shuddered at the thought and the Democrats have encouraged me to work against them whenever possible. It usually seems to do them more good than a plain brown envelope from Charlie Keating. When the newspaper endorsed four candidates for the Flagstaff City Council, the choices basically reflect my personal convictions as well as those of other members of the editorial board. Three of the four advanced to the general election and the fourth blamed me for her finish because the endorsement was not without qualification. She could be right.

If history is any indicator, all four were doomed the instant, I threw my support be-, hind them. So, to all the other candidates who have not been blessed with the editorial support of the newspaper, cheer up. History is on your side.

Obituaries Challengers Joe Washington and William Tip Roberts finished high in primary election competition for the three four-year posts- They were followed by incumbents Jim Muns and Pat Loven.

I believe the community is putting into office a council that will be sensitive to the fact that we are a mountain community and we want to maintain the natural environmental beauty of this area, and at the same time, foster economic development, Nelson said.

We know good things about Joe Washington, Daggett said. Ive heard good things about (Roberts) too. Laughery said the FLAGG group, which endorsed Roberts, was pleased by his success. I think there is strong support for candidates who said the City Council wasnt sensitive enough, Hagen said. I wouldnt say that if the current City Council members discovered the environment it would get them re-elected.

Those arent the only issues. From this point on, the clear choice is between incumbents and By CARL SCARBROUGH Sun Staff Reporter Results of Tuesdays primary election have members of several environmental groups envisioning a City Council sympathetic to their cause. Were quite pleased, said Steve Nelson, vice president of Citizens for a Beautiful Flagstaff. Our group was particularly delighted to see the overwhelming support for Joe Washington. Dan Daggett, conservation chairman for the Plateau Group of the Sierra Club, was equally pleased by the election results.

It looks good, he said. We cant wait until the (March 6 general) election. A lot of the people with real positive environmental indicators did well. I think we could use some environmentalists downtown. Scott Laughery, president of the Flagstaff League for Advancing Good Growth, said he was disappointed more by voter turnout than the results of the election.

"I had one disappointment, the voter turnout, Laughery said. I think that is an excellent cross section of candidates to choose from. The incumbents did not appear to do as well as you would expect them to do, said John Hagen, a Flagstaff public affairs consultant. The strength of the challengers suggests there is some dissatisfaction with the present City Council. Its hard to know exactly what happened without looking at the interest groups various candidates appealed to.

The turnout suggests that the fate of Flagstaff continues to rest in the hands of a very small minority. NORMAN S. MacLEAN. Rosary will be recited 7 p.m. today, at the Winslow Funeral Flome Chapel, for Norman S.
