Stress Managementby Carrie Idler

Summer Guest Lecturer, Dr. Harry Owens, will speak tomor­ row, Tuesday, July 8th, from 7 to 10 p.m. in room 21. The topic will be "Stress Management, Wellness, and Creativity".

Owens, who is spending his se­ cond summer teaching Cross- cultural Communications here at AGSIM, is a medical doctor who has had extensive world wide ex­ perience, primarily as a physician, and lately as a Human Resources consultant.

In the early 1960's, Owens work­ ed as a physician in Alaska, north of the Artic circle, covering an area twice the size of the state of Ohio, with limited resources. After returning to the mainland US, he realized that he missed working with the Eskimos, and decided to become involved in another pro­ ject. Eventually be went to work for Esperanca. a Phoenix based non-profit organization. Owens has spent a great deal of time in Brazil (he will give a lecture sponsored by the Portuguese Club on Tues day, July stfl dealing mainly wim bis experiences with Esperanca),

as well as other parts of South America and Africa.

Owens began to see a need to learn the business and ad­ ministrative aspects of working in Third World countries, and so in 1978 began work on his MIM Un­ fortunately staff shortages kept him from working straight through, and it took him two and a half years to complete his degree. Having an MIM degree allowed him to go to work in Africa for the African Development Bank, and to become a business consultant.

Owens consulting work consists of teaching businesses bow to use human energy effective!}-. Though the US can no longer compete in labor intensive industries, we are still leaders in information, com­ munication and creativity. By eliminating ineffective energy use (stress), and developing positive energy, a business, and the in­ dividuals within it, can achieve their highest potential. The con­ cept of wellness goes beyond just maintaining a healthy state it means having a positive attitude and a fteaJUij diet, and learning how to deal with stress.

Audio Lingual Method: Here To Stay

Typewriter DilemmaDear Editor:

Cberty Ken's criticism of the audio- lingual method used at TtamderWrd re­ quires comment (Das Tor June 23). Us. Kerr pointed out, correctly, that the audio- lingual (A-L) method, which was developed by the UJS. military during WWn, has been supplanted by other methods in secondary and higher educa­ tion. She does not appear to enjoy her A-L classes here and states that it is adolescent and has no place at Tbunderbird. The reasons why the method was so successful in the military are largely the same reasons it has fared so poorly in other situations. It remains, I believe, the best way to learn a foreign language at Thunderbird.

The objective of the U.S. Defense Language Institute (DLI) was and still is to teach fluency In a foreign language in as short a time as possible. The A-L method consists of intensive (6 hours per day) in­ struction, drilling on the language's gram­ mar. Classes are small and teachers are highly trained in the method and are native speakers as well. Students are highly motivated. Promotions and pay raises are dependent on language profi­ ciency. Graduating students say the pro­ gram is difficult but admit that they attain a high degree of proficiency in a very short time.

Encouraged by these results, educators begin implementing the A-L method in secondary and higher education in the 1950's (grammar-translation had been the previous approach). By the 70's, disap­ pointed with the results, they were in search of another method as the magtr^MW^MP tnf ttM^v vw^^tfvns In I jjjj*fcltmforeign languages.

Rather than ask why the A-L method fafled,anxn appropriate question fat how, given tnedrannstances, it could have soc- ceeded. Classes inet infrepjneotly for short macs, too little tor the drin accessary for toe devtlopijifiit and retention of structure and vocabulary. Classes were large, with Wtteopporttnity for students to practice

drills. Teachers were rarely trained in the new methodology In fact, most high school and college language instructors have no training in methodology at all. Col­ lege instructors' interests lie typically in literary critisism or linguistic analysis, while high school foreign language teachers are often minimally qualified

Finally and most importantly, students are poorly motivated, often studying a language to fulfill graduation re­ quirements. Most American students do not study a foreign language at all. Schools and colleges are grateful for those woo do and strive to make their classes as plea­ sant as possible so they will continue. Under these conditions, it is no wonder that the A-L method produced meager results. I doubt if any method could pro­ duce good results under such poor cir­ cumstances.

Thuoderbird's circumstances are much closer is the mUitaiy's man to those of high schools and colleges. The program is fairly intensive, classes are small and teachers are well trained. Students are highly motivated to speak and understand the language in an international business environment The program is not an easy one. The fast drill in class is taxing and daily dialogue memorization is an unplea­ sant daily chore.

Many of the recently developed methods in foreign language learning aim to be less threatening and more 'learner-friendly'. Their names give an Idea of their orienta­ tion: The silent way, natural method, com­ munity language learning, total physical response, and otters. These methods may make learning more too' hot die same grammar points and vocaboiariy must be learned in any method. 1 do not feel that we need such toucny-teelv* methods here at TtaoderbtatL W* certainly do not have the tone. I agree mat the aadkvUntjaal method Is hard work but ttprodoces results and re­ mains the best way to be learning a foreigB language at Thunderbird.

Dear Editor:As the ASLC Secretary for the past 84

semesters, I have had the oppur utalty to hear many student comments and criticisms One of these affects myself and the ASLC office; and that is the lack of regular typewriters for student use on campus. There is only one available for students and it is in the library, constantly in use or in need of repair.

Many students come and ask me whether they can use my typewriter to do their envelopes for their job search. How can I refuse? Students should not be hindered in their job search while at Thunderbird. The computers are a definite improvement, but not all students can use the terminals and some have been

discouraged from using them at aO for word-processing purposes. Where else can they turn? Even if they can do their letters on the computer printers, bow about the

One may think that anenvelope is not a big deal; however, con­ sider bow many letters are sent out by me student bodv each semester. The oeed far additional typewriters is evident

The ASLC is currently trying to make old typewriters available to students to check out for over-night use. I believe this is a giant step in the right direction. However, I think the administration should provide some financial support for this endeavor.

Sincerely. SuzanneT. Garrett

Update From GuadalajaraThe following was submitted by Claudia

Worthington, one of over fifty students spending the summer with the AGSIM pro­ gram in Guadalajara, Mexico With fearless leader, Professor Clifford Call, at the helm, they call themselves "The Guad Squad":

Now just where would you ladies find the latest, most outrageous fashion accessory: the Armadillo handbag? Why. in the Mer- cado Ubertad, Guadalajara, Mexico, of course! This is your Guad Squad cor­ respondent here, bringing you the news from toe land of the depreciating peso.

I've only been here a week, and already I've seen enough to last a lifetime. Guadalajara defies description big, col­ orful, European, crowded, desolate, historical, and yet modem. Everything goes real slow, just like molasses on a winter day. That is unless if you're driv­ ing. Then it's like the Indy 500 in a super­ market aisle. The buses are dilveu with their duors opfn, and vbeo tne driver starts the bos you'll find yourself pushing people on so that you're not stuck hanging onto the door. No place for weak hearts, my friends.

As for Guadalajarans. they are the most outgoing, gregarious people I've ever en­ countered. They introduce themselves to us and love to make friends. Can you im­ agine that happening in a Gtendale McDonald's or Parisian cafe? 1 -»er!

We Thirds have been enjoy .jg the One restaurants and bars that Guadalajara has to offer. One of our favorite stomping grounds is the wild and crazy Duran Duran Bar.

Monte Carlo Cafe is a delightful oasis from the predic­ table formula chain restaurants A family- owned restaurant serving only home cook­ ed food from a menu that features "Six dishes from six different countries." mis restaurant will make life a little more palatable in Glendale Chef Luigina Daniel and her family bring old world recipes from Europe and the Middle East where they lived prior to coming to the U S

Monte Carlo Cafe opened in March. 1986 and, this reviewer has enjoyed on three separate occasions, various dishes from the menu, all outstanding because of their freshness, simplicity and extremely reasonable price Some of the dishes found

to be favorites were the chicken with potatoes, fresh chicken cooked with cin­ namon and served with potatoes in the juices. Rautotulle was a satisfying and complete vegetarian meal with potatoes, carrots, yams and zucchini. For those who love traditional .Middle Eastern food, the ample portion of Kibby served should satisfy most hearty appetites With each dinner, a small salad is served, flavored with a tantalizing dressing, the recipe for which the chef won't part with for any reason. For dessert, the butter cookies are a must.

In addtiion to these, Monte Carlo also serves pizzas and sandwiches as well as Italian ncotta cheese pie and oaklava, a traditional Mediterranean pastry. The pastries can be enjoyed with fresh Turkish coffee.

DAS TOR Goes To The MoviesSequelitis: A Hollywood Malady

bySte-HeoogOoiIt has been a bad year for the movie in­

dustry, and after a bleak spring at the box office, the summer movie season promises a strong iine-up of new hits Without blockbuster movies like "Return of the Jedi" and "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom", it will be tough to salvage Hollywood's dismal profits at the box of­ fice. Unlike last summer's attempts to make it big at the box office witfa original hits, such as "Back to the Future", and "Cocoon", the summer releases for 1986 are mostly sequels to box office successes. The idea is excellent except for toe fact that the sequels are rarely as good as the original.

relive the successes of the original ver­ sions.

Columbia Pictures who was responsible for Lh« first "Karate Kid" in 1984, has not nad a hit since then Its £>est performer in 1985 was "The Jagged Edge", which gross­ ed a mere $40 million Ghostbusters" alone pulled in $220 million in 1984. Colum­ bia's new sequel "The Karate Kid: Part II" did not seem to have a promising start when it opened nation-wide on June 20.

"The Karate Kid" was a moralistic story of a young man who, with his men­ tor's help, reaches into the depths of his soul through the power of the ancient art of karate. The role of the Japanese sense! played by veteran actor Noriyuki "Pat"

Pat Morita and Ralph Macchio Kid".

on location in Hawaii for the sequel to "The Karate

Among the many new releases this sum­ mer are "Poltergeist II - The Other Side", "The Karate Kid: Part II", "Psycho HI", and believe it or not, "Friday the 13th: Part 6"!!! Enough is enough!!!

The producers at Hollywood should be taught to quit while they are ahead. "Poltergeist" and "Hie Karate Kid" were two of me major bits that made it big at the box office in recent years, and this sum­ mer their producers decided to bring them back in the form of sequels, hoping tocash in ao tbeir previous successes. Both movies, however, fafl in their attempts to

Morita earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporitng Actor. One of the elements that made the first movie so suc­ cessful was the team combination of Morita and Ralph Macchio, who played the kid. The only thing that worked for the se­ quel was the undeniable charms of Mac­ chio and Morita, who were reunited in their original roles.

The original movie ended with a moral to tne story good always wins, and evil will have an undesireable outcome. The suspense that built up in the final scene, which was further complemented by Bill

Oliver Robins and Heather O'Rourke, who play the Freeling children in "Poltergeist U-The Other Side".

Cooti's haunting score, exploded into a climatic end as Macchio executed his crane-styled karate kick to win the tourna­ ment. The story should nave stopped there. But no...the producers had to come up with a sequel. That's when the problem begins. Morita who plays the Japanese sensei, Miyagisan, is informed that his father is seriously ill, and he should return to his homeland to pay his last tribute. Upon arriving in Okinawa, Miyagi and Daniel (Macchio) are taken to meet the powerful Satosan. who apparently controls the economy of the island. Sato challenges Miyagi to a battle to the death because the latter dishonored him, 40 years ago, by stealing his girl. The rest of the movie is centered around convincing Miyagi to agree to fight Sato. With such a storyline, who could ask for anything more...

The plot is silly, unsuspenseful, and makes no sense. The characters are unbelievable, and the ending is one of the most anti-climatic sequences ever made. The only plus for the movie is the beautiful cinematography of Hawaii, where the

movie was shot on location.

Without the competent direction of Steven Spielberg. who directed the original film "Poltergeist", the sequel is so overwhelmed with special effects that the story is lost in the colors and lightning that zap across the screen every so often. Brian Gibson, the director, tries to portray to his audience the reason behind the spiritual harassment of the Freeling fami­ ly, hence, "the other side" of the story. What fails is the basic credibility of the movie and how the final conflict between the good (the Freeling family) and the evil (the spirits) is resolved. The suspense that made the first "Poltergeist" so engrossing is definitely missing in the sequel. Who could be frightened by an attack of the killer braces, or the emergence of the "vomit monster'"'

Each sequence is sillier than the last, un­ til one gives up any inclination to feel for the characters, and just sit through the ab­ surd movie, waiting for the final credits.
