Johnson & Johnson Thunderbird will soon have a self-directed Ca­ reer Management Media Room. So, what is this new creature and why do you need one?

Kathryn Vegso, Director of the Career Services Center (CSQ envisioned this as an area where students could supplement the peer guidance programs currently of­ fered with video tapes and software designed to help them develop career management skills at tunes convenient to their academic schedules.

The first two interview rooms off the CSC lobby are scheduled to be remodeled and equipped during this semester. Some of the videos offered will be provided by various employers who currently recruit at Thunderbird. They will describe the corporate culture, history, and future plans of their company and describe the typical responsibili­

ties of finance managers or account executives or marketing managers within their organization. Material offered in the regular workshops to help with resume or cover letter writing will be available.

But career management is the central focus of this new service and allows the CSC to address several problems. Each semester's grads turn in an exit interview and, according to Mr. Woody Belisle, Thunderbird Assistant Vice Presi­ dent and Director of Employee Relations, these interviews reveal one of the CSC's most important challenges.

Where Have All the T-Birds Gone?

ByTheoMilfcrSome of you reading thus arc new

inductees into die Thunderbird mystique-making machine; I offer you the wannest welcome to oar campus. It's a small school, but there are those who love it. "Danny Webster could ncx have said ii any better. (Of course, he wasn't talk­ ing about Thunderbird, but he should have been. The school he was talking about has as a motto " Vox Qamantts in Deserto," how apropos' But I digress.)

Others reading this arc by now jaded pros, familiar with the wooden-shoe gear-clogging bun­ gling of the entrenched bureauc­ racy. To you all I offer encourage­ ment; just remember, soon you'll be Graduates of this Fine Institu­ tion. and you*!! be thrown out on

Computer Center.

Where have all the T-birdsgone,

Long time pa-assing? Where have all the T-birds

gone,Long time ago?

Where have all the T-birdsgone,

Gone to good jobs everyone?

What did they ever cam, What did they e-ver earn?

You've all heard the song; the players may change, but die song remains the same. Where hove all

;iheT*ij!dsgane?".- '•• • .'•The majority of recent gradu­

ates, it seems, have joined the Thunderbird expatriate commu­ nity across the street These Thun- dcrgradpats try desperately to mingle with the student Thunder- pat crowd, hoping to recapture those lost magical days of easy government-sponsored loans, no responsibility, and an excuse to put off the job search for another se­ mester. Thundcrgradpats can usu­ ally be found on this side of the street mingling with real students at the Pub, talking about all their prospective imminent possible just-around-thc-comer upcoming job offers. Some have been seen even Mine Career Services Center, timidly looking with fresh eyes at those S18,00(Vyr entry-level cleri­

cal job postings they scorned so recently.

Then Acre is Ac look-I-got-it- made group. Unlice the Country Stables, Green Pta, Wormwood, and Sun Bleak residents, these alumni get a lot of press, m the Thunderbird Magazine and other such propaganda, w& even in this rag occasionally. These alumni arc illustrious, wealthy, in positions of power and respectability, and fly everywhere, but only in First Class. Their T-Bird Tuesdays are held in Paris. London and New York, at the most exclusive clubs, sorry, no recent grads need apply. They support the school, they promote the school, they exhort the school, onward and upward! WeMethese people. They are on donor lists, contact lists, and Who's Who lists, arid fu/K-inXi <r> ccninu nodes of ihc Thunderbird Network. These arc the peopk you should have gotten to know while they were still at T- bird.

Many Thundergrads end up in Peoria, or Ortando, or even in our own Glendale. These Thunder- mcstjcs have tried the international scene and tired of the jet lag, or else they never pursued the squalid glamor of strange hotel rooms, and decided to put down roots. They sometimes don'tevcn do business, I know a Thunderrhestic who is a ski bum in Teiluride, Colorado. It could be worse, she could be in Peoria.

But what of the disappeared group? The "desaparecidos" sofneumes emerge in Chite, or Botswana, or Macao years after graduation, living a life of corpo­ rate excess, only to disappear again into the Thundcrground, resur- facing later in another thriving international business center of the world. What do the Thunder- grounders do? I mean, how many people can the CIA realistically hire from the same school every year? Nobody seems to know.

So what path will we follow, we matriculating students at the comer of59thandGreenway? Some of us already have corporate jobs, some of us may never have a corporate job, and others may even go into teaching. I wish you all luck in the pursuit of your Thundercareer, and much satisfaction with your choice of culture.

InterAd is Real World

In tfie upcoming weeks yon will be hearing a great deal a 5000-lcvci business course called InterAd, short for bttemational Advertising Workshop. Thisisan advanced class for students aspir­ ing to eitfw brand management or advertisBig agency work. The program features four groups of six students who arc sponsored by actual clients and develop market­ ing and advertising programs in the country of the clients choice. Stu­ dents form advertising agency teams and compete in the develop­ ment and presentation of complete marketing and advertising plans for the introduction of a product or service into foreign market.

What each team ultimately pro­ duces is a full-blown marketing plan, complete with extensive market research, advertising cam­ paign, commercial storyboard, sales promotion and media plan. Past assignments have included Tabasco sauce in Japan, U-Haul in Canada, Ramada Inn in Great Brit­ ain, Kodak Fling-35 in France, Timken roller bearings in Argen­ tina, Cracker Jack in Great Britain and AT & T in Singapore. Often the students ideas are so insightful that sponsors actually wind-up using them. Cracker Jack, AT&T and many other sponsors arc cur­ rently irrlplementing the programs prepared by the InterAd teams.

What makes InterAd so interest­ ing is the results-oriented, hands- on approach. "This is not acade- mia; this is the real world", says professor Sumner Wyman who handpicks die 25 students selected each semester and then coaches the teams in devising a viable but crea-' live marketing plan for their clients. Culmination of the months of competition is InterAd day on May 5lh. On this day, students present their plans to over 400 businessmen and students. After­ wards, the teams answer questions about their projects from a panel of ten judges representing advertising agencies worldwide. Win or lose, the students also get a chance to interview with company represen­ tatives and attend a formal dinner that evening.InterAd is much more than just an advertising course. It mimics the business world and acts as an ideal proving ground for the executives-to-be. As former InterAd student Jeff Weiss says: "For us, the competition among die teams isn't as important as the idea of actually working for the company".

The CSC feels that their job is to give you the tools you'll need and prepare you, not just for your first job, but also for your last YOB must be clear where you are going and how to get there if you arc going to reach your career goal

The CSC is also concerned that students have access to the most active job markets. Fortune 500 companies employed one minion fewer people in 1988 then in 1987 and these big companies are most of ten the campus recruiters. Books like "Job Creation in America" by David Birch identify the small business and the fastest growing employer. So, how can CSC help students reach this fragmented job market? A multimedia approach which makes use of new technolo­ gies is just their first step.

As Thunderbird's Career Serv­ ice Center management and staff continue to refine the quality, quantity and effectiveness of their services, T-Birds present and fu­ ture wiU reap the rewards. AsMr. Belisle commented, "The more well-prepared our students are to be successful, the easier it is to make mem attractive to the best employers."

Learning the Tricks of the (Counter)Trade

by Chuck Angevine and Peggy Stewart

The seminar in Counter­ trade/ Offset (CT/O) offered during. Winterim provided students with the opportunity to study the complexities of this growing international trade practice. Countertrade is essentially the practice of using goods (and or services) as partial or complete pay­ ment for an international sale rather than using strictly for­ eign exchange. Visiting pro­ fessor Frank Horwitz, who led the seminar was a princi­ pal advisor in some of the first countertrade deals in Canada. He still provides consultation to both the gov­ ernment and to corporations regarding countertrade/off­ set negotiations. Mr. Hor­ witz also coordinated an impressive schedule of guest lecturers who shared their knowledge and experience related to countertrade. The executives who spoke during the seminar represented a variety of industries and

concerns including military contractors, government rep­ resentations, consumerprod- uct marketers, and several different trade organizations. They all provided an insight­ ful aspect to the practical issues that arise in business with actual cases and ex­ amples as opposed to theory alone.

The curriculum of the course was based upon the establishment of a defini­ tional framework which, in a field as new as countertrade, proved to be an ongoing process of education and debate, and discussing key controversial issues related to CT/0 activities. It culmi­ nated in a case study in which students and execu­ tives worked together to come up with viable solu­ tions to problems particular to die actual negotiation of die offset agreement Much of the course focused on the integration of U.S. industry into countertrade. In its

Lessons in Liquidity Management, etc.

struggle to maintain its posi­ tion as a principal player in the international arena, the United States faces the chal­ lenge of reestablishing itself as an economic leader. This will require a firm commit­ ment by multinational corpo­ rations to be more sensitive to the needs and demands of the global marketplace. The U.S. corporation must accept that countertrade is an essen­ tial element of success in international business prac­ tices.

The diversity of ideas, opinions and information was a key element in provid­ ing the students an opportu­ nity to participate in a chal­ lenging and stimulating graduate course. The Semi­ nar in Countertrade/ Offset is perhaps one of the best courses for Thunderbirds interested in international trade and import export. As future international manag­ ers, CT/0 education is bene­ ficial to successful business operations.

by Angk ElginUnder the direction of the

veteran international bank­ ing and finance experts, Dr. James Mffls and Dr. F. John Mathis, the International Banking Conference of Winterim 1989 was a suc­ cess. It was a most compre­ hensive banking seminar, as it covered both the structure of the industry, as well as recent developments, on domestic and international levels. This was accom­ plished by lectures from bankers from major U.S. and foreign banks, who spoke of their activities and gave their insight on the current and fu­ ture outlooks on interna­ tional banking.

Each day, there were two or three speakers scheduled. Topics included regional banking, international cash management, loan syndica-

beer flowed, so did the ques­ tions, and discussion invari­ ably tamed to the job situ­ ation/search in the banking industry. Resume passing was expressly prohibited, but the bankers were no less helpful with their advice and personal experiences. It was gratifying when they ex­ pressed reluctance at leaving these informal chats; one speaker, in fact, was so reluc­ tant that he stayed at the Pub for more than eight hours, sharing his wisdom and hav­ ing his brain "picked" by diehard students/drinkers.

The International Banking Conference was not "jttst interesting lectures and beer

The Right Honorable Pat­ rick Duffy, President of die North Atlantic Assembly, served as die visiting profes­ sor for the course. Dr. Duffy was educated at die London School of Economics and Columbia University, New York. As a member of Par­ liament, former Naval De­ fense Minister and former officer in die Fleet Air Ann of die Royal Navy during WWH, Dr. Duffy has always maintained a keen interest in defense and NATO and brings his expertise and ex­ perience to die class.

Take the article on Diving with the Jakes or our special country profile on India last semester or the reviews we have on special Winterim classes, and, of course, the ever- popular Peggy and Pam's Party Line and Ken Herron's Observer. These features have been made possible ciue to the initiative of stu­ dents who, incidental ly, have the same class load as you do, and they not only provided yaluaWe or fun information to the students and faculty of our school , but they also got the creative wheels turning in the minds of the writers. .Innovative thinking, effective writing and ultimately successful "business operations depend on well-communicated ideas - your ideas.

Have You Heard?

Karl Maiden says "Fly Cheap!"

by Rita WarrenQuick. before you get bogged

down with loo much studying, you're Laking a break from

orientation week hang-overs, get out there for something really dif­ ferent.

I've lived is New Mexico and Arizona all my life, but I never got a better idea of what the south west is all about moil last December, when I Orally got around to visit­ ing the world famous Heard Mu­ seum here in Phoenix.

If you have even the slightest inkling of aesthetic and cultural appreciation, which, obviously you do since you arc a Thunder- bird, you will be thrilled with the unique and primitive an that is on display at the Heard.

The museum hosts all kinds of demonstrations which are fascinat­ ing lo non-southwesterners and even us native Arizonans. Authen­ tic Indian dances in the auditorium, a Navajo sculptor hard at work on a slab of limestone in the counyard, a lecture on the Federal Indian policy, all gave me and my family insight into the names, places and culture of the beautiful desert where we live. .;,_,; _.

Ever wonder where the

Hohokam Expressway got it's name? OrCoconmo High School or the origin of our own Mancopa Corny"! The Wk of painungs, native costumes, jew- elry, took, pooay and rags hose more than just functional items; they hold the secrets to an ancient civili/ation that is barely still alive today. But to see it is to appreciate it

So where are these treasures thai every Thunderbird student should see? The Heard Museum is located at 22 Monte Vista Road. Mar downtown. From here, take the freeway 0-17) south wE McDow- efl. Take thai east to Central and take a left. Monte Vista will be on your right and the white museum with the red roof is a couple of blocks down. The Heard is open Monday thru Saturday, 10:00am to SrOOpm., and Sunday IrOOpm to SrOOpm. Free guided wars are available on weekends.

Take a snack to enjoy on the lawn, and, above all, don't forget the gift shop (it's the best one I've ever seen) for decorating your apartment, gifts for mom and dad and for that special valentine! Call (602) 252-8848 for information on the museum.

And Honesty, Again

Notes on the Middle East

Dear EditorDuring the past week Israeli sol­

diers in southern Lebanon killed five armed Palestinians who were at that time, it is stated, involved in terrorist operations against Israel. Israel says that because thiee of the five belonged to the PFLP of George Habash which lies some­ where near the perimeter of Arafat's PLO, the US should break off negotiations with the PLO.

Ignoring the meat of this issue, my question is thk Isn't it pretty ballsy of one nation to kill five people in someone else's nation, regardless of who they were or what they were doing? And on top of that, to expect outsiders to deal severely with an organization only tangentially associated with the victims7 If we turned the equation, around what could the Lebanese ask America to do in response to Israel's actions in their country? I wish America would answer these questions soon.

Robert Lakos

, Dear EditorIn last week's Das Tor, the students of Thunderbird were once again faced with the subject of academic

honesty. But wiuithisartkkarKXhersubjectalsoarose-that of moral honesty. Moral honesty extends beyond academics, and will follow us throughout our professional and private lives. In it are the underpinnings of the human conscience, the respect of privileged infonnaoon, and the ability to make sound judgments.

*"Wl»en lie wrote rtearticte I speak of, Jim Rodgers, d^ In printing what, by the ASLC Constitution is to be confidential mformation, Mr. Rodgers rcveated his own lack of personal moral honesty. . .

As an introd^ion to his story, he presented the recent ca^ The proceedings brought against this student were a private matter, strictly between the student and the Academic Board. Mr. Rodgers bccameawareof them through the confidcncesof a friend. And when he revealed them in hisarticle.he betrayed the confidence of his friend.

I am sore some people will claim that I am merely trying to protect my frooL But while I believe in his innocence, and am only convinced that the Academic Board has made a grave error of judgement, the question of gnui or innocence is not the snbject here. What is at issue is where the boundaries of the press, of Das Tor, lie in the respect of an individual's privacy.

Others will ask, "What's the big deal, anyway?* The deal is this. The injustices caused to this student were farthered when his privacy was unfairly violated. And the saddest part of all is that there was no need for it Mr. Rodgers did not need to use tteinfooration to improve rusanide. It did not further it in any way. It did not provide ITJC basis for his theoi^ncr prove any arguments. In fact, it actually cast doubts upon the merits of Mr. Rodgers'ideas.

What it was, was a good lead to his story. And so, ignoring any possible repercusskxis to the other student (and there are many), claiming the public's right tt> know, he used this lead.

I too believe mttepiiblk'srighiujkrKwpubucirulonnatJon. But I also believe in the individual's right to privacy. Confidential infonnaticmdoesrKXbdonginthepubuc domain. Thesanctityofatrustmustbe honored, wberher OIK is a priest, a pcJitician, a businessman, or an editor. To me, that is moral honesty.

My question is this: DidtheEditorof DasTorhavetherigbttoreleaseconfidemial information? If Ac reasons for a student's resignation from office were to be made public, should not the announcement have been made through die official offices of the ASLC, rather than in an editorial?

My point is, as the ASLC did not release Ac information, and the proceedings were confidential, did not the Editor violate a student's personal rights? Jim Rodgers did not have the right to print the information he had access to. but he did. Where is die honesty in dial?

LynnOlson

DearMs-Olsoo:The resignation of an elected official is never confidential information, and details of the evidence and

arguments heard by the board(which are confidential) were not disclosed. Furtrienriorc, you should understand u^DasTorisamajorvehk^±rcwghwhiditheASlX:srjeaks. Therefore. I question your contention that I

A Concerned Customer

Dear Editor

I used to work m a service indus­ try. In my experience, thecastom- ers who complained were the ones who cared about my product If I solved their problems, they be­ came loyal customers. The silent customers not only didn't com­ plain, they didn't return. So I made every effort to encourage my cus­ tomers to be complainers. In the same spirit, I'm complaining.

In addition to encouraging com­ plaints, I always tried to make a good first impression on my cus­ tomers. Makes sense, right? This school doesn't seem to the realize the importance of first impres­ sions. I visited the campus for the first time last October. I had flown in urooi California a day early in order to be ready for what I hoped would be a long and informative appointment The appointment lasted half an hour. My questions were answered succinctly and I was handed a map of the campus.

I flew home angry and deter­ mined thatl was not going to Thun­ derbird. However, after talking to many alumni, I decided that die fiasco wasn't a reflection .on die quality of the academic program here. Iiisarefiectiononthequality of the school though, and it is not an isolated case. After enrolling in Winterim, I waited for information about whether I received my coarse, who die professor would be. what die classroom and time were information dial I never received. Farthermore.Iknowthat other students have been treated the same way.

I see myself as a customer seek­ ing die service provided by this school; I fed it's been inadequate. To be fair, I have met many friends and been impressed by my profes­ sors. But no matter how many good friends I make or how many excellent classes I take, I won't forget my first experiences hoe.

All is not test, however. I espe­ cially used to appreciate the com- piainers who offered solutions as well as problems. In die same spirit, I'm offering a solution. I believe die importance of a student's first impression of die school cannot be underestimated; it is imperative to make that im­ pression a good one for two rea­ sons:

1) Obviously, it improves the chances that he or she would select Thunderbird over other management schools.

2) Perhaps more importantly, it improves the overall sat­ isfaction for the student who chooses Thunderbird and increases his commit­ ment to die school.

How can a good first impression be given? Simpk programs are aD dial is needed A procedure for group campus visits is a good idea that many universities use. In addition to personal academic counseling, a group campus torn- led by a student could highlight the

excellent career center and the pub, whkh is CXK of ite better bars in the Phoenix area. Then a group of students could meet the candidates for lunch and ten diem why they likeThuoderbinL Iknowthatstu­ dents are willing to help in das effort On die first day of Win- terim, I was taken in by a kind T- bird who. on a whim, look three hours to show me the campus and introduce me » many of her friends.

Implementation of this and and other programs would be easy and inexpensive. Yet, link dangs like making a good first impression can make big differences.

I invite support, criticism, sug­ gestions, and rebuttals.

Sincerely, John W. Carr

P.S. Expect more complaints from this concerned customer.

Editor's note: We too have talked to numerous students TV ho started in Winterim and complained that the administration told them to wait/or Spring to start before they could get the information they wanted (like their class schedule). They said that this made than fed unwelcome. Isthisanywaytotrcat future Thunderbirds? We invite comments from att parts of cam­ pus, even (or especially} the ad­ ministration.

Notes from Security

All students and staff should be advised that dxat have recently been a few stolen stereos froparked in die various lots. In addi­ tion, one car was stolen firon cam­ pus.

From die information we can gather, stereos, certain wheels and various interior items are being sought by a group of tiiieves.

We would like to remind an sto- dentand staff to lock your car doors and windows. Further, it would be a good idea to check your car once or twice a day.

Pfcase report any suspicions individuals or activity to die Secu­ rity office.

All students and staff should register their car wirh Security as die decal can aid in investigation, fa the recent car theft, it was li­ censed out of state in another person's name, however, the in­ vestigating officer noticed the AGSJM decal and contacted Cam­ pus Security who. in turn, advised the student

Although some damage to the car was already done, the quick recovery saved die vehicle from being stripped and incurring more

While on die subject of locking doors and windows, all students and faculty should lock their dorm rooms, offK^aolwindowsbefore leaving, even fiv a short time.

Sports Real Life

Good Start for the Rugby Club

Last Saturday the Thunderbtrd Rugby team met in the Coffee shop at 8.00am for the first game of the season, the first game ever for many of the players. The game was to be played in Sierra Vista (3 1/2 hours drive sooth of Phoenix) at IrOOpm, and the opponent was the "Desert Legion," a team from the military base there.

Everybody made itto the field in time, the starting line was picked, and the game was ready to start In the first 10 to 15 minutes, the big­ ger and more experienced players on the Dessert Legion were able to do more or less what they wanted to, and as a result they built a 6 point lead fast. The more inexperi­ enced, but "fighter willing" Thun- derbirds did not give up, and it did not take long before we were on the scorcboardas well. Rene Kirchfeld took the ball in for a score and with the conversion point, the game was even. Not too long after, Thomas La Grange put the Thunderbirds down for another score, and at half- time the Thunderbirds had a 10-9

lead. In the second half it was back and forth, and with only two min­ utes left to play, the score was tied 13-13. The Thunderbirds got a penalty lock and were able to con­ vert for 3 more points. Because of good defensive play the rest of the game, the game ended 16-13 in favor of the Thunderbirds, and the victory was fact Nobody could ask for a better beginning to the season. The only thing that re­ mains is to keep it up.

Even though the game was played so far away there were a good number of Thunderbird stu­ dents who came to support the team. The^gbyspiririsnotonly among the players at the field, but also on the sideline during the game, and especially at the social gathering after the game. Those who pined the team this time thought it was great fun, and we hope to see a lot more students at the upcoming games.

RUGBY IS A LOT OF FUN AND WE DONT WANT ANY OF YOU TO MISS THE AC­ TION.

Here's the Beefby Bridge BlakeAfter another semester of mys­

tery meal in the cafeteria, you are ready for some real beef. The best beef in town can oily be found at Ruth's Chris Steakhoose, Located at die comer of 22nd Street and Camelback in the Unisys building. Ruth* s Chris serves steak the way it was prepared twenty years ago.

They select only the best corn fed beef, age it carefully, cut only as many thick slices each day as they need, cook it the way you like it in a special broiler to lock in the juices, and serve it on a hot plauer of sizzling butter and herbs.

Of course their steaks are the mam attraction, but the a la carte appetizers, salads, and side dishes are excellent and big enough for two. They serve an Italian salad with artichoke hearts, tomatoes, greens, anchovies, croutons and Parmesan cheese.

Although their baked potatoes are not much better than the ones you can get in Ac cafeteria, their scalloped potatoes are the creami­ est and chccsicsi around.

When you add up the S3 to S4 per a la carte item plus S14 to S23 per entree, Ruth's Chris Stcakhouse is expensive. If you arc graduating, you probably deserve it So treat yourself, or better yet, have yoor parents take you. If you should happen to leave Phoenix without experiencing beef as it was meant to be, you can find Ruth's Chris Stcakhouses in other American cities, because it is (surprisingly) a chain.

Ruth's Chris does nave a full bar, a good selection of wines, and a few desserts, if you have room fcft. Reservations are highly recom­ mended for weekends. The dress code is relaxed, hut they request no jeans.

Peggy andPam's Party Line

In our never-ending search for new trashy and superficial gossip, we've rnn across yet another controversial topic. However it does have relevance; not only do we think it should be discussed because of incidents we've heard on campus, but also because the issue f« ^" is important

It seems that mere have been some incidences of sexism at AGSIM. Stories range from minor uncomfortable situations to actual oven advances made to ward female students. We have heard, observed, and experienced numerous occasions of lewd and lascivi­ ous glances and comments. Although we don't condone this kind of behavior, it can be taken more lightly among peers in the Pub. In business and academic environments, however, it is absolutely inexcusable. f!>, • • . . , ,,

Even more upsetting at this fcvel of education is the discounting of the intelligence and capability of women to perform as well as (or better than) mea Several examples:

1. Derogatory comments in reference to the academic histories of some women;

2. Condescending behavior towards women in group situations, as well as in one-on-one teacher/student conferences;

3. Thexu'vediscouragementofall-womengroupsinworkingon certain projects.

The imph'cations of these suggest that many people truly believe that women are not as capable as men.

What frightens us is the presence of sexual bias at a graduate school which prides itself on sensitizing people to cultural bias. If such attitudes are prevalent at an institution which is preparing us as men and women for upper-level management careers, what son of values can we expect to bring to the corporate work! as future executives?

We look forward to your comments.
