The funds available for these grants are in the large part sup­ plied by AGSIM. They are de­ rived from money budgeted for assistantships for incoming stu­ dents which are not utilized due to student cancellation and post­ ponement Other small funds are available, as well as income from endowment funds. The grants range up to $500 and their size and number awarded is depen­ dent on the money available through these sources.

our editorial policyDAS TOR is the independent student newspaper at the American

Graduate School of International Management. As rack, we will at­ tempt to report the news of Ttanderbird Campos and aews of interest to the campus each week. We will attempt to provide both meaninf- M and entertaining issues for our readers.

A newspaper can reflect the tfews of its readers only to the degree mat leaden participate. Year contributions are encooiafed-either in the Com of tetters, articles, or suggestions. However, in accordance with journalistic practice, editorial comment, value judgments and the Hke are not acceptable ootxide the editorial w«*-wtucn. ofcoom, includes letters to the editor. Letters, and other contributions, are printed at the discretion of the editors, and are subject to editing The editors thus retain the right to make any changes deemed necet- saryfofpubikattion( with the cooperation of toe water) and to refuse my contribution. ***

Often students ask the Placement Director if they should use personnel consultants or placement services. The answer is a qualified "Yes," but be careful.

As there are many good "fee paid" consultants (the company that hires you pays the fee), you should ask a tot of questions and be quite careful before signing contracts.

There are some counseling services or career determination agencies that usually want a sub­ stantial fee to help you prepare a resume, get to­ gether information for cover letters, or even coun­ seling to determine the areas you may wish to pur­

sue. For example, you will see ads placed in the Wall Street Journal by Joseph Chusd or Bernard Haldane that provide this type of service.

These are reputable companies, but they do not provide jobs for the large fees thattfcey request of students. In particular, i would like to advise For­ eign Nationals to consult with the ASLC or the<J Student Placement Committee before signing any contracts. Or, stop in to see the Placement Director.

! iff, delighted that, by answering your letter, 1 can have the opportunity to clarify the values of my degrees, which seem to have been a matter of great concern to some of my colleagues of the Language Department.

Here are the facts about the degrees I have: 6 Yaan of Humanities: US. equivalent two years of Junior College.5 Yaarsof study in Social Studies: U.S. equivalent - 5 years of higher education in the field of social science (approved by the Office of Education in Washington, D.C. at the request of AGSIM). Additional aducatioa: Graduate course taken at McGili University, Montreal, Canada, for secondary and university teachers; graduate courses in Audio­ visual.Language: Graduate course in the teaching of gram­ mar at Arizona State University, Graduate Schoo! of Education.On the 4th of February 1963, AGSIM decided, and I quote. "Mrs. Elyane Parshalt owns the equiv­

alent of a Master's degree and for that reason wffl be promoted as an assistant professor."

On trie 14th of April 1976, President Voris, in accordance with the Faculty Handbook and on the recommendation of Dr. Geer. Dean of the Faculty and Or. Valdivieso, Chairman of the Language De­ partment, granted me a promotion to Associatafirnf mrt n r-rroressor.

I am the only teacher in the Language Depart­ ment who has had the honor to receive tanca in less than 2 years the Associated Student Body's Top Teacher Award. This was given to me for "teaching ability and knowledge of the subject ." (Needless to say, I am more proud of these awards than of any I have received before.)

So again, dear anonymous writer, I want to ex­ press to you my appreciation for giving me this chance to respond to you. (By the way, in nay na­ tive country, anyone who writes an anonymous letter is considered a coward.)

Poet's CornerSE MUERE EL OTONO

Es de manana. Ha llovido toda la noche. El sol ha salido y el cielo esta' claro y de un azul intense. Las hojas de colores brillantes, oro y rojo, apenas prendidas, susurran con cada rafaga, hasta que se caen al fin. Entonces se mueven las unas a las otras, impel Idas por el soplo del viento. Desde la primavera no hacen mas que mirar a los pajaros revoloteando de rama en rama, celosas de su libertad. Parecen estar bailando con deleite, celebrando su liberacio'n, y no saben a d<>nde ir...

Es mediodia. Ha arreciado el viento. La danza se hace f renetica y las hojas parecen darse cuenta de que su emancipacio'n va a terminar. Empiezan a buscar refugio al ver que se acerca la tempestad...

Es la tarde. Ha caido a ca'ntaros la lluvia. El sol ha salido y el cielo esta claro y de un azul intense. Las hojas se encuentran pegadas al pavimento, aporreadas y tristemente exa'nimes, mientras que un cuervo grande y negro desde un arbol cercano les grazna su burla: ja! ja! ja!
