Astronomer disagrees
with Chaco sun dagger
United Press International
CHACO CANYON, N.M. — A
hard trek across a sagebrush-splat
tered canyon floor and straight up a
30-foot rock chimney has convinced
an astronomer to disagree with the
best-known theory about an ancient
community’s time-telling system.
Michael Zeilik, a University of
New Mexico professor who has been
studying archeoastronomy in Chaco
Canyon for the past year, says scien
tists who tout a Fajada Butte forma
tion as a highly accurate calendar for
the Anasazi who lived in the area
900 years ago reflect just one theory
of an unsettled controversy.
Zeilik, who wrote a chapter of
“New Light on Chaco Canyon” pub
lished by the School of American Re
search and who has written two
books on archeoastronomy, said Fa
jada Butte’s Sun Dagger — so-called
because a dagger-like shaft of light
pierces the heart of a spiral petrog-
lyph on summer solstice — is afctu-
ally a poor forecaster of time
changes and most likely a shrine for
a sun priest.
The Sun Dagger is a natural for
mation of three large slabs of stone
on the face of Fajada Butte about 2
miles from Una Vida, the nearest of
the group of Anasazi pueblo ruins in
New Mexico’s northwest corner.
The slabs shield the face of the
rock they rest against except at mid
morning, when shafts of lights strike
an area where a large and small spi
ral are carved into the stone. On
winter solstice, two shafts of light ap
pear on either side of the large spi
ral, and on summer and winter equi
nox a large shaft of light cuts
through the side of a large spiral and
a smaller shaft cuts through the cen
ter of the small spiral.
The petroglyphs were first re
corded in the early 1970s but the ef
fect was not recognized until Anna
Sofaer and Jay Grotty visited the site
as part of a rock art field trip.
After study, Sofaer released her
findings and a fascinated public
snapped it up. The site was called a
North America Stonehenge by one
science magazine, but Zeilik scoffs.
“That comparison implies we
know what Stonehenge is all about,”
he said.
He said observation of existing
pueblos, ancestors of the Anasazi, in
dicate the Sun Dagger fails to fulfill
certain needs of a calendar used for
agricultural and ceremonial timing
“In the pueblos, keeping toiL
ways of ancestors is held m verybfl
regard. There is a very strongKtf
dency to he conservative,” he sail. 1
He said in pueblos like Zunid
Hopi, which mostly were left ate
by the Spanish, the sun priestket[j
track of time with a calendai thal
in the pueblo or close enough t
make daily observations.
He said daily observation^
necessary because ceremonies ait
planting must he anticipated ahtt
of time so that the communitya
prepare.
“The people have to be prepard
If they don’t carry out the ceremouf
with a good heart, they’ve lost the
purpose of the celebration,” he sail
“When you define precision thew
the sun priests were forced to opfl
ate, the play of light on the slabs*
Fajada Butte changes througho*
the year is not precise enough.”
He said the Sun Dagger, a naim
he avoids because the (tagger od
appears on summer solstice, alsoi
inaccessible during the winter bt
cause ice forms along the chinwef
formed by the slabs, making it dffi
cult to reach a point to makeobset
vations.
Japanese journalists competitive]
tamer than Western counterparts
United Press International
JAPAN —Japan’s three major na
tional newspapers, two wire services
and countless smaller publications
have been free and Fiercely compet
itive since World War II.
However, though independent,
the Japanese press is fairly tame by
Western standards. The close
relationships that Japanese report
ers establish with the officials they
cover would, to an American re
porter, sometimes seem like conflict
of interest.
“Sometimes reporters become too
friendly with the politicians and bu
reaucrats and don’t report enough
that is critical of them,” conceded
Masakuni Hashimoto, formerly
Washington bureau chief of the
Kyodo News Service and now exec
utive adviser to the Japan Publishers’
Association.
“Compared with the United
States, the Japanese media is more
cooperative with the ruling class,” he
said.
He added, however, that the press
is gradually becoming “much
bolder.”
Recently, the Japanese media ral
lied to successfully oppose passage in
the Parliament of an anti-pornogra
phy bill for fear the government
might not stop there if given the
power to ban publications.
The local press also vigorously re
ported the Lockheed bribery scandal
that forced Premier Kakuei Tanaka
from office in the mid-1970s. But,
Hashimodo noted, the Lockheed
scandal was first brought to light in
the United States.
In contrast, the Chinese press
doesn’t have the freedom the Japa
nese press does. The Chinese press
is controlled by the state. Various
newspapers, led by the Communist
Party’s official mouthpiece, the Peo
ple’s Daily, dispense the socialist the
ories and ccustoms China’s more
than 1 billion people are to live by.
The press may not challenge the au
thority of the party or communist
principles or question the integrity,
capabilities or decisions of national
leaders.
But in the last five years, there has
been an unprecedented loosening of
restrictions. Corruption, crime, nat
ural and man-made disasters and
bureacratic fumbles are now re
ported.
The relaxation on “negative”
news reflects the post-Mao govern
ment’s attitude that problems should
be exposed and opened to discussion
if China to modernize. Middle-level
officials and whole enterprises ait s
not spared when an example is tol* [
made.
And there appears to beagiw
ing confidence among reporters* ?
they flex the muscles of a press ^
hacked by the government.
“If we investigate a complaintli |
don’t identify ourselves, the respon |
sible people will just ignore us,”sail I
a reporter for Peking Evening Ne# 1
known for Western-style investip |
five reporting.
. “But when we tell them who we art j
they cooperate. They cannot avf |
us.”
Foreign journalists in China v
not harassed or followed like (host |
in the Soviet Union. Travel toman) ,
parts of the country is relatively eas)
to arrange.
Senior government officials also
have mastered the tricks of talking
on “background” or unattributabk
source basis to convey their views.
There is no pre-censorship of sto
ries by foreign correspondents. Tilt [
government instead controls tlif|
news by accessibility.
Most interviews have to be ar- [
ranged through the government.
