Future Shock: AGSIMin the 21st CenturyBy Lawrence Raay

Glendale. AZ.-The Year, 3011My oldest son will enter graduate

school this weekNot Just any graduate school, rated

yon, bnt the same one I attended. It feels good to have continuity in thefamily. Gives one a feeling of im­ mortality.

Things have changed, though, since I graduated 30 years ago. Just paging through tte "Mil-2012 Bulletin was enough to make me feel like an old man. For example:

"...then tte name was officially changed in 1985 to Thunderbird

American Schooi, and changed once and for aB to 1897 to TtamdertW American Graduate Institute ofForeip Trade and International Management Studies."

"...tnttkm fees, room and board have Increased an average of only 10 percent per year since 1981 to a current $175.000 for toe three semesters of study. However, most students receive some form of financial assistance."

"...a new library is currently under construction. Toe old Yoant Memorial Library was gutted by a fire last year destroying all the books. Damage was estimated at $193."

"...due to what me AflministraDonperceived as dangerous traffic condi­ tions, sidewalks were recently install­ ed, and seven traffic police hired. Chiefof Security Dreyfos said, Students Just ignored the crosswalks and traffic lights; we had to dosomething.'**

...the Administration is currently looking for a new president to fill the

of William Voris who will step {town next year."

"...besides World Business and Inter­ national Studies courses, all students are required to take 'Japanese as a Se­ cond Language' to enable them to con-

duct with the world's domi­ nant economic power."

"...for recreation, there Is a campus swimming pool, bat doe to ongoing ;:t]gat]on, the pool has r.o divingboard."

"...to late ue the SneO Learning Center was equipped with a properly functioning air eonditioQiag system and several left-handed desks."

"...in 19W a pass/fail (P/F) grading system was adopted, dae in part to the fact that every member of the 1993 class graduated with a 4.0. President Voris commented. They were a smart ouneh, we'll miss them."*

Student Assaulted Near PubByReginaStarrRidley

A female AGSIM student was oaaauJicu by an unidentified man 26 feet from tte Pub entrance last Thurs­ day night, June 18.

The student, who did not want her name to be published, suffered scapes and bruises. The assailant, described as 18 to 24 years old, ran away when another AGSIM student came out of the Pub to see what was going on. Police have no leads as to who the assailant is.

The student who was assaulted said that she had driven her motorcycle to campus and parked it about 20 feet from the pub doorway. She was bent over ner once, iocJunu her Belmet. "Some guy came out of the pub and walked in front of me," she said. "I thought it was a student"

The man grabbed her around her bead and shoulders and tried to drag her towards the parking lot "It happen­ ed so fast, I thought it was a joke and it was someone I knew," the student said.

She said she screamed and struggled with the man, but with the loud music in the pub, no one in the Pub heard her. "It was like a nightmare," she said. "I could see people in the Pub but no one would help me, no one could hear. "She also said the lights outside the Pub were off and the area was dark.

The student said that when she either tripped and fell down or was pushed

down the assailant took off around the bushes toward West Apartments.

At that moment a mend of hers came oat of the Pub. He has seen her and the man outside, thought they were goofing around, but then realized that something serious was happening.

Two minutes later the suspect rode by on a motorcycle towards AGSIM's entrance. "I was crying and couldn't see him," the female student said, "but my friend said be was blood and wore a red T-shirt."

The student said that she "didn't think" that the assailant "was a stu­ dent." She thought that he might have oeen trying to steal her helmet. - - * *

She also said that it took a long time for Security to get to the Pub. She and two friends drove around campus, try­ ing to find a patroling security officer.

Security Chief George Dorcheff said that a call was received from Bill Hargis at 11:40 pm reporting the inci­ dent. One security officer went im­ mediately to die Pub while the other of­ ficer on duty waited at the Security of­ fice for the Glendale police to arrive.

Dorcheff said that the flood lights by the Pub had been turned on by Security at dusk that evening, as they are every evening. He said the lights had most likely been turned off by a student as the switch is next to the Pub entrance. Students often turn off the Pub i

be said, as they prefer to sit tat he dark with their beers.

Dorcheff is extremely concerned about the number of non-AGSIM people banging around at the Pub. Although there are "No-Trespassing- Private Property" signs posted around cam­

pus, be has been told by the Dean of Students Steven Beaver that Oie Pub is a public bar and thus open to the public.

"I hope that doesn't get around because we'll have every hoodlum to Phoenix here," he said.

Gulick, Arthur Discuss AGSIMby Bill Kennedy

June 17 marked the red letter day of an open ASLC meeting which un­ fortunately coincided with the Speaker Committee's James Sinclair address. Guest speakers were Dr. Gulick, Dean of Admissions, and John Arthur, Registrar and College Relations Direc­ tor.

Gulick pointed out that AGSIM was "one of the very few schools that visits all six of the MBA forums for higher education." This is just one facet of the recruiting process which Arthur called "the largest logistic operation of any graduate school in the world."

Arthur stated that "former students do us a great service when they give up a day of their professional time," quoting a cost differentia] of $38 for an Alumnus visit compared to $108 for school personnel visits. "Though there is the risk of getting a few dummies in­ volved in this method of recruiting, overall we've been quite pleased," said Arthur.

When the question of recruitment overseas came op Gulick and Arthur listed the National Foreign Student

Association, Friends of Arab Nations. Institute of Internatinal Education, Fulbright Commissions and numerous other channels. When questioned about the number of inquiries and applica­ tions received annually the approxima­ tions were 15,000 and 1700, respectively for 800 slots.

With "forty maybe My" schools hav­ ing an international curriculum, only fifteen to seventeen have "serious cur- riculuras" in the international area, ac­ cording to Arthur. Only three institu­ tions offer the MIM degree; The University of Denver, Baylor and AGSIM. Two prime factors in accep­ tance are timing of application and the desire for an international career. As Gulick stated, "Procrastination is the thief of acceptance."

The real attention-getter of the meeting was the subject of a dual degree program with Arizona State University.

Another area requiring student input is that of new courses. Gulick asked, "Do tte students want a course hi business ethics or business negotia­ tions?" If so, the ASLC and department heads need to hear from students.

ac

Editor's BoxThe campus was shocked

last Friday as the news of an AGSIM woman being assaulted Thursday night at the Pub spread like wildfire

Who ever thought at AGSIM 1

Th* fact is mat Ulendale is the fifth largest city in Arizona, and AGSIM is in the heart of it. We may feel that we have attained international harmony here, but the rest of Glendale probably doesn't know about it. The lure of 50 cent beers is a strong one to those looking for a little local action.

Das Tor proposes that ASLC immediately set up a task force to look into bow to make the Thunderbird campus a safer place, now and in the future. The task force snoutf

1) Changing the Pub's status from a public drinking establishment to a private club, so that only students, faculty and administration ami invited guests will be served.

2) Formulating a clear policy with Security as to bow

the Pub and immediate area should be patrolled. Although there is student concern about a "police" presence at the Pub, AGSIM's security of­ ficers can hardly be con­ sidered fearsome by <rfwJer.tr Nothing goes on at the Pub that security officers don't see and ignore elsewhere on cam­ pus

3) Pressing the administra­ tion for funds to improve cam­ pus lighting as soon as possi­ ble, and then working with them on a plan so that all parts of campus are adequately lit.

4; Immediately organizing a publicity drive to arouse students' awareness of safety. Stress the importance of walk­ ing in well-lit areas, walking in groups, reporting*««gy.i*»i^"g ijy*vi»*fl individualson campus to security, and looking out for each others welfare.

Thursday's incident should serve as a kick is the rear to ail of us to start being more concerned about safety on campus. Let's work together, now.

Lights, Camera, ActionThe ASLC announces its

Summer Talent Show, to be odd July 18 in the Quad, from 9 until 10 pm. Magnificent cash prizes will be awarded to the top three acts. Free beer and soft drinks will be provid­ ed by the ASLC.

The ASLC encourages ALL students with ANY talent to SIGN UP at the ASLC office. Acts must be registered by the July 10 deadline to be included in this summer's show. SIGNUPees will be required to leave their name, phone, and box numbers with the secretary as well as a brief summary of their act and the amount of time it will take to perform. (No Freudian Stuff PLEEEZZZ!.'!)

The ASLC also needs two

persons who can manage lights and props for the show. A small honorarium is involv­ ed. Please leave your name, box and phone numbers with the ASLC secretary.

Marching Down Wallstreetby Sophie Habaalt

At the beginning of the month, the Soviet Union sen! a letter to the Polish Communist party to warn them if nothingwas done to re store order in Poland, the Soviets would feel obliged to interfere

Any trend toward less com­ munism in any of the satellite countries is a danger for the Soviet Union it wants trie Polish situation to be resolved before the opening of the Polish Party Congress next

.. This letter is sent out of profond anxiety for the 'ate of socialist Poiar.c! and for Poland as a free and indepen-'Jar,; countr. " Or ;s i! sent out of pro'or.rf anxie!;, for thefuture of Communism'1

the Polish and Soviet Communists have fought shoulder to shoulder in the battle against fascism ..." As far I know. Poland has fought against the U.S.S.R. each time

1 there was a disturbance or a a-ar there.

. .the counterrevolution isusiag the extremist wing in Solidarity, making use of workers who joined this pro­ fessional unioo for their criminal plot against the peo­ ple's authority..." the sore successful Solidarity secomes. the more likely is a Soviet invasion

.. they say the Soviet L'nion is plundering Poland when it is we!! known that the Soviet Union is providing enormous supplementary material aid to Poland in this difficult period. " What else can the Soviet Union do' Recognizing the liberalism of Poland would b* recognizing tne failure of their system

"...we sfaaij not abandon our sisterly socialist Poland. We snail not let it be harm­ ed..."Never was a threat of Soviet invasion so clearly an­ nounced. The Soviets will of course use the Brezhnev Doc-

tnae to excuse their act.So far, the West has dooe ab­

solutely nothing besides talk. We wsfa Poland the best of luck" said the French Foreign Minister. U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig has declared that "any external or internal repression from the Soviet Unioo will nave profond and lasting effects." Nothing that we did not already know.

Polaad is therefore trying to solve its problems alone. The U S.S.R would like to see all moderate Polish leaders replaced by hard-liners. Two weeks ago the Polish cabinet was reorganized but tne pro­ blems were not solved.

Right now. tne West can on­ ly wait for the opening of the Polish Party Congress. If there is a Soviet invasion, though, we cannot say that we cave not been warned.

Singhin' in the Rain; AGSIM's Worldly StudentsBy Bill Kennedy

Thunderbird attracts an ar­ ray of interesting per­ sonalities from around the world. Each is unique having a special niche in the T-bird saga.

One T-bird taking his rightful niche is Adolph Biren- dra Rumar Singh, a first semester student with an in­ ternational background that is hard to match.

Nepalese parents, Adolpb spent his first three years of life there. He then lived in Nepal until he was eight.

His father is a principal for the British Army Education System.

and sister have continued to adhere to an international lifestyle. His sister lives in the U.K., one brother Is in Nepal and another in Hawaii. Singh came to America via Hawaii in 1878 where he studied business management at BYU-Hawaii Campus. He married (in keeping with the international tradition) a Hawaii-Phillopino-Japanese woman last August.

Singh first beard about AGSIM from fellow students. "Its famous over there." he said.

Why AGSIM? "Because of my international background," Singh answered. My life was so in­ ternational and BYL'-Hawaii was so culturally broad and more fine tuned. There were three distinct groups there. Polynesians, Orientals, and Howlies (Caucasians). AGSIM was a natural exten­ sion of that school."

The prime benefit to be derived from AGSXM is career satisfaction said Singh. 'Unlike other institutions, AGSIM not only teaches a cer­ tain curriculum but places you in that type of career reflec­ tive of that cnrricuten after you graduate."

Singh is seeking a position with Proctor and Gamble in the Pacific Basin, is concen­ trating in Marketing, and stu- dying Chinese. With languages such as Chinese. Hindi, Nepalese and English as his interests, be also enjoys soccer and is looking forward to working with students who are interested in the Tae K won Do Club, of which be is the founder and instructor.

What about the cultures en­ countered? Singh said he learned to "accept it" and that the cultures were easily ac­ ceptable. He said, "as interna­ tional managers I think you

tave to resolve yourself to ac­ cepting other cultures."

Srngh feels Hong Kong is the place for career minded peo­ ple. Singapore, for those seek­ ing a good social life and at- Bosphere, and Hawaii for the seekers of the "Aloha Spirit"

When asked about his im­ pressions of the U.S. Singh said "the one thing 1 noticed is that America is, how does that phrase go, yes, quote unquote the land of milk and hooey, a land of opportunity." People don't realize that. I haven't been to Europe, but where else are you going to see so many two and three car garages? "

Singh feels that one of the distinctive characteristics of .Americans is that they are, "libel concious" and "really lawsuit crary,"

Well, Adolph, I hope you won't sue me after reading this article and I hope we can get more students like you. Good Luck!

Screwdrivers and Screwy Drivers They're on the Road Again

There's nothing like a cou­ ple of nights in jail to make a drunk driver realize he or she should have tases a taxi home. At least, that's what law enforcement agencies in the 13 western states believe.

"The laws are getting tougher," said one metropolitan police officer who works a beat with a reputation for more than its share of inebriates "But the real change is that we're a lot more serious about enforcing the laws already on the books. If somebody's drunk or high and driving erratically, we're going to get that person off the road-ia iaU, ii neces»iu%'. but preferably someplace they can sober up and get well."

"The ironic part is, many in­ nocent people die because of drinking drivers," said Dr. Erick Da vis, medical director of Seattle's Schick Shadel Hospital, an alcoholism treat­ ment facility. "And the tipsy driver is not gravely injured in many instances."

Arizona's one mandatory day behind bars has been on the books for several years. About a year ago, Washington followed suit la most cases, judges also impose a fine of J250 to $300.

Judges, however, are becoming more likely to re­ mand intoxicated drivers to treatment programs rather than to jail. According to several prosecutors surveyed.

judges are much more lenient if a convicted driver is willing to accept help for their drink­ ing prooiem.

Contrary to the commonly held belief that alcohol addicts

must want help and seek it on their own before it can do any good, Schick Sbadel's Dr Davis pointed out that alcohol treatment programs are hav­ ing considerable success with court-ordered patients.

"It's similar to the situation in which an employer tells an employee to get belp-or else," said Dr. Davis. "There are very real, clearly defined sanctums that motivate the drinker to get sober and stay that way.

The State of Utah concurs. Its laws stipulate that anyone convicted of a second D.W.I, must spend two to ten either in jail (preferably in the drunk tank, the statute says) or working in an alcoholism rehabilitation facility.

The following summary of penalties far driving while in­ toxicated lets you compare this state's laws with those in other western states. Unless otherwise noted, all penalties are for first convictions.

Arizona: Mandatory minimum jail sentence, one day; maximum, six months. The judge may also add a $100- 300 fine and require the con­ victed driver to get treatment

for alcohol addiction. California: Prison term, 30

oays to 6 months at the judge's discretion; fine. $250-500. There is 00 mandatory jail or fine for a first or second of- fense.

Utah: Prison term, one to six months; fine, $100-299. If someone is injured in an acci­ dent in which a drunk driver is at fault, the maximum sentence escalates to one year and the maximum fine to $1,000. Utah law also sets the blood-alcohol level at which a person in considered legally intoxicated at 0.08 per cent, in aii other states surveyed, 0.10 per cent is the cut-off point On a second conviction, a jail sentence of two to ten days is mandatory; the law also stipulates that, if possible, the sentence be served in the jail's drunk tank or working in an alcohol rehabilitation facility.

One lawyer who frequently(ifffryMfo DCfSOQS 8CCQSCQ 0Cdriving while intoxicated sums it op this way: "It's get­ ting harder to defend people on a D.W.I. Society's opinions are changing- it isn't just a question of some drank going oat on the highway and blow­ ing himself away. Publicity about innocent people getting killed or maimed for life has opened people's eyes, and the courts just aren't taking drunk driving lightly anymore."

Assault-Continued from Page 1

If security finds a non- student on campus who says be or she is going to the Pub, Security can not, legally, kick him or her off. However, if non-students cause trouble at the Pub Security can kick them off campus.

Such a situation happened last weekend. A local man caused trouble at the Pub several weeks ago, was kicked off campus and a report war

filed with the Glendale police. When he .returned last Satur­ day to attend the Marketing Club party, the Glendale police arrested him for trespassing and threw him in jaU.

Dorcbeff said that the school has generally bad the policy to keep Security away from the Pub and let the students have a good time. He felt the school preferred the students to get

Magnum Travel3316 W. Bell Road*Phoenbu Arizona 85023 942-2710

drunk and party on campus uninhibited rather than on the streets or at a local town bar.

Dorcbeff also said that plans were in the works for improv­ ed lighting all over campus which would turn on automatically and could not be turned off by a switch.

Executive Vice President Berger Erickson, who was shocked at the incident, said that the electric cables for the lighting would be put down in the fall, after the need for refrigeration was over. He hoped that the new lighting would improve the campus immensely.

Both Dorcheff and Erickson supported investigating changing the Pub's status from public to private. However, the change-over would be a tricky one as the current liquor license is for a public bar.

Tubing or Not Tubing- Watchin' the River FlowBy Fat* Smith

Just because there Is nothing to do in GlendaJe doesn't mean that AGSIM women need to spend their weekend lounging beside a crowded swimming pool without a diving board or hesitantly lingering over Sun­ day brunch.

Besides, a woman can get tired of hungry, drooling looks from a bunch of aspirant male managers.

I listed toe more important things I wanted from a weekend: cool water, no men­ tal effort, complete relaxation and coW beer. The answer was obvious. "Let's go tubing." I thought out loud to my roommates, "on the Salt River." They clapped their hands with joy. "What a wonderful idea," they shouted, and jumped up and down.

Being aspirant managers ourselves, we divided up the tasks as follows; Francoise was put fa charge of provision­ ing, Ling-Ling was to get the inner tubes and my job was to find out where to go.

Provisioning was easy w» bad a large cooler and Fran- coise never underestimated when it came to buying beer. The instamatic camera she brought along helped us to recall the trip later. And she picked op three straw hats at K-Mart far J2.50 each. She's a bargain hunter. She'll make her boss at Renault very hap­ py some day, she hopes.

To get the tabes, Ling-Ling called around to tire stores and found toe price of 16" tabes to be around $6-», We went to Anthony's on Ben Road and bought three used ones for $12, and they threw in « cooier-fized 12" tube, com­ pliments of the bouse. "I wonder what they're com­ plimenting," asked Ling-Ling suspiciously, as she checked the tubes for leaks. We found

My Job, where to go, provec more difficult. Everyone on campus said "You're going tubing down the Salt River? Great!" Bat no one knew bow to get there. My landlord said. "Yeah, Just drive out along the Salt River." Finally, I call­ ed a family friend in the area, a priest, and as always be gave me good directions.

Os Saturday morning we bought stout twine and tied the tubes on top of the car. (Just wrap the twine around each tube and tie the whole bundle to the roof. It'll sound like hell at high speed, but won't come off. Ours didn't anyway.) We made a quick stop at Bayless for Dutch Treat Beer f$1.49) and some ice.

We drove south on the highway to Thunderbird Rd., east to Pi ma Rd., south on Pima to Shea Boulevard, east on Shea to Rt. 87, crossed the Verde River, entered Tonto National Forest, took a right off Rt. 87 and went past the en­ trance to Saguaro Lake. ("You'll see cars parked everywhere," the priest had said, "eventually." He was right, out be also advised that is we weren't sure, we were to ask. We asked. Several times.)

Campus to riverside is about SO miles. The trip takes a little more than an hour.

We unpacked, secured the cooler to the smaller tube with the rest of the twine, tied our tubes together, so to speak, and shoved off into the cur­ rent.

The water was surprisingly cool, the landscape spec­ tacular, the current swift and the crowd (and it was a crowd) was purely local origin. As we glided down the river, slurping beer, we bumped against adolescent pot smokers (Ling-Ling bad rolled a few, herself), young girls downing quarts of Coors, and along the riverbed were motorized vehicles of every

For Ling-Ling and Fran- coise, tubing down the Salt River was a confrontation with an alien, yet benign, culture. For myself, the day proved a confirmation of an analysts of American society that has taken me a lifetime to develop.

Americans are fun and well- intentioned, yet their horizons stretch before them no farther away than the tips of their outstretched fingers.

As we relaxed on the shore we noticed too many beer bot­ tles littering the river bed to allow safe passage on the Salt River. We saw a young woman dragged from the water by her drunken companions, her foot bleeding from a jagged wound. One of the tanned musclemen lifting her out of the water said reassuringly, "As long as you feel the pain, it's OK."

As medical commentary, I accorded no weight ta the good-hearted but utterly wrong highschool drop-out who stood before us, ably ig­ noring the sight of the spewing blood and natively concen­ trating all of his attention on the spiritual well-being of the hysterical girl.

But as abstract psycho- social theorizing, be had ut­ tered a statement of incredi­ ble accuracy. Americans never choose between pain and pleasure, but only bet­ ween existence and non- existence. It is this realization that I hoped would not be tost on my comrades from foreign lands. It's not that Americans look for tee dirt, the Mood, the pain and the insanely destruc­ tive. It's only that we do so lit­ tle to avoid them.

I turned to my friends sit­ ting like I was on a polished pebble beach, the son beading down, the breeze cool and playful from the remarkable coolness and playfulness of the waters. We looked sadly into each other's eyes, ponder­ ing the endless tragic con­ tradictions of ignorance and culture, of desire and pleasure. Approaching us, an old man dragged a loaded plastic bag behind him, pick­ ing at the stones for the empty aluminum cans sprouting along the river's bed. We fell asleep.

As it had lulled us behind oar backs, the revolving sun, streaming into our eyes, woke us. We snook our heads, as when from awakening from a

I drove back to retrieve my friends. We sped along the

highway on our way back to town, popped open beers, the wind In our hair and the bright sun glaring on the windshield.

Startag eagerly and fiercely at the broad and nigged land­ scape before us, we laughed hysterically and drank toasts to brave women.

Survey Results are inByBobMeador

Last semester the Campus Christian Fellowship took a survey of student religious concerns and preferences. Fif­ teen percent of the student body responded. Of this 15 per­ cent 38 percent were Catholic, 31 percent Protestant, 6 per­ cent Jewish, and 14 percent listed no religious preference. 40 percent of the respondants felt a need for more spiritual input into life at AGSIM.

The Campus Christian Fellowship meets weekly for fellowship and bible study. It was started four semesters ago by students who felt there was z seed for a Christian organization on campus.

Last week, the organization officially became a club. To became an official club, an organization must have at least 15 members, a faculty advisor, and a written con­ stitution. On Wednesday the administration approved a charter for the CCF. Meetings are held Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. and all are invited.

The CCF survey revealed

Gilles was com­ plemented very skillfully by Sam Davis, whose presence (helped by the bulky bass be played), made the jazz session a perfect blend of professional music.

that more students had beard of the organization than the members bad thought Ap­ proximately a third of the respondants to the ques- tionaire had beard of the club. For those who expressed an interest in the club, "personal devotion" and "what tc believe" were the most impor­ tant concerns. Those who answered the questionaire. but who were not interested in the club most often listed "social issues'' as most impor­ tant to their faith.

"Social and spiritual outreach," and "religious study and worship" were most commonly listed as mint respondants felt the purpose of the CCF should be.

Negative reaction to the group included warnings that religion might be too hot an issue on a campus with such a diversity of faiths, and a repri­ mand for grouts that try to "proselytise the world."

In general, the reaction to the questionaire was positive from those interested in the group, and negative for those not interested.
