Students for Responsible Business

By Kara Thomas and Peter Lamberti

What is the concept of social responsibility? That is the question we were faced with this summer working as interns through an organization called Students for Responsible Busi­ ness. SRB has a network of 650 members from over 50 business school s across the U S and Canada. The group's philosophy is that there is more to business thanprofitability; many of today's business students are realizing that inte­ grating social responsibility into business can positively effect our work environment, enhancing our careers while at the same time improving the bottom line.

The benefits of SRB affiliation are many, however our interest was sparked primarily by the INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. Yes. you too may find a rewarding summer position as we did Our experiences working with socially responsible companies (one for- and one non­ profit) were invaluable. SRB will also host their third annual National Conference titled "Making a Difference: Social Responsibility in the Workplace," which will take place Friday, November 3 through Sunday, November 5 at the Haas School of Business. University of California, Berkeley. Featured speakers are from (to name a few) the Body Shop International. The Cal vert Group of Funds, The Gap, Levi Strauss & Co.. and keynote speaker Laura Scher. CEO of Working Assets Funding Services. The conference will address topics such as Entrepreneurship, Community Development. Socially Responsible Marketing, Applied Business Ethics, and much more.

We were fortunate enough to represent Thunderbird at SRB's intern retreat in Santa Barbara. CA in July. Discussing social issues and how they fit into the present business environment with 30 business students from the top schools across the country was a truly enlightening experience. Students for Responsible Business is one of the best-kept secret on our campus, and it is our aim to change that. If any of you are interested in learning about this organization and its benefits, we would like to share more information with you. Please attend an informal meeting on Tuesday, September26at 7:30p.m. in SnelRoom 22. We will distribute information about SRB, the National Conference and the latest quarterly newsletter, as well as show a video about the organization and answer any questions you may have about how SRB can provide an added dimension to your business school experience. Hope to see you there. (Questions? Call Kara @ 843-3225 or Pete @ 588-8990)

Cuba:OpenFor

Business ?

Third Symposium Slated for March

What business commu­ nities are there in Cuba? What will the future bring tothis grow­ ing economy in the Ex-Soviet supported country? How can I take advantage of the growing opportunities in Cuba? These

Thirds have regarding Cuba's change in the light of the ex­ panding world economy

In light of the new eco­ nomic reforms and the new for­ eign investment law, the ques­ tion of Cuba as a lucrative busi­ ness environment has come to the forefront. In an effort to answer these questions, a group of students and members of the administration are forming a committee to organize a Cuba Forum. Guest speakers who are being considered include gov­ ernment functionaries from both the United States and Cuba, busi­ ness leaders from US corpora­ tions wanting information on this potential market, and foreign business leaders who are already doing business there.

The very essences of this project i s to bring world and busi­ ness leaders to Thunderbird. to bring cutting-edge business is­ sues to the table, and to build a stronger reputation for Thunder- bird. It is also a great opportu­ nity to network with business and government professionals who are actively involved with Cuba.

We are planning the symposium for the week-end of March 15 -16 but need people now to assist with the planning. Anyone interested in helping put this symposium together should attend the committee meeting this Friday in the ASLC office at 4:30 pm or contact Alex Rizo at 938- 3294.

The Gate"Wherever we travel, whenever we pass from one country to

another we must go through a gate. However, las JCor means more than simply the traversing of borders; it stands asasymbol and artery of communication through the barriers of superstition, ignorance. dogma, racism and prejudice; traditional enemies which continue to be a detriment to progress and global peace.

Idealistic though it may sound, it has now become the respon­ sibility of our generation, the future leaders of the international community, to make every effort to widen these gates and succeed where previous generations have failed.

Das Cor must therefore be an open forum for debate, aclearing house of ideas that may further prepare us for the international community and further augment the reputation of this youthful institution." :

D+liiFrom the President's Desk

Dear Fellow Thirds,

As the weather becomes less oppressive, more and more people have been taking advantage of the cooler evenings and getting some exercise at the campus's tennis, basketball and handball

courts. Last week, I was asked why the lights at those various courts are automatically shut off at 11:00 p.m. I went and asked Jim Smolesky (the Associate Vice President for Facilities Services) about this. According to Jim, the City of Glendale has a 'Dark Sky Ordinance' which mandates that all sports lights in residential areas must be shut down at 11:00 each evening. Vice President Smolesky said that he would put in a few calls to some of his contacts with the city to see if anything could be arranged to extend our lighting hours here at Thunderbird. It can't be promised

There is a very strong sentiment on campus that something needs to be done about the current E-mail situation as you know, right now every 'all students" announcement is senttoevery student's

inbox, and it has come to the point where many people are becoming very annoyed and deleting those messages without reading them. Kris Lambertus at the Computer Center has recently completed building and troubleshooting a system where campuswide announcements will be 'posted' to a community "Bulletin Board". This system will help to keep individual inboxes uncluttered and still provide a way for students, staff, and faculty to post and browse the general announcements; additionally, the implementation of the Bulletin Board will help to speed up the network's server. Though the system is now operable, there are just a few administrative details which must be worked out The ASLC's Information Technology Services Committee will be meeting with Dr. Candace Deans and Kris later this week to work out those kinks, and I hope that the new system will be on-line by the middle of next week. Watch for more information in next week's Das Tor.

During the past two seasons, the Thunderbird Soccer Team has done extremely well in off- campus, Glendale-area league competition. Last week, the ASLC voted to spend S330.00 to buy 17 quality soccer shirts for the team. Will Watson, the team captain, assured that he would work with Abigail Fmdley (the Thunderbird Athletics Coordinator) to ensure that all of the new shins would he kept up and available for next season's team. The shirts should be able to last from two to three years.

There will be an information session regarding the Health Centers expanded services and the new insurance policy this Thursday. September 26. at 1:4(! in Lecture Hall 53. The nurse-, from the Health Center and representatives from Acordia will be available to answer quesiioriv

Remember to drop off your foreign stamps and coins for the upcoming Interiest. The collection box is in the Tower Building near the coffee counter.

On a final note, many of you may remember that last fall and winter there were several instances where alleged academic infractions occurred. These instances brought to many students attention the need for a good, sound Honor Code. Right now, ASLC does have an Honor Code, but it has never been invoked. I believe that this is mostly due to the fact that many students and faculty do not know that the school has a student-originated Honor Code. I would like to have a group of interested students look over the current Honor Code, gather concerns from other students, consult with the appropriate faculty and administrators for appropriate revisions, and come up with a revised Honor Code. I would like to then make the revised Honor Code a referendum item for the next ASLC general election. This will allow the entire student community to decide if it wants the Honor Code. and give legitimacy and awareness to the matter. If you are interested in working on this committee please get a hold of me. If you simply want to get a copy of the current Honor Code and look for ways to improve it, copies will be available on the credenza outside of the ASLC; please let me know of any concerns you have or changes you would recommend.

With that, I'll bring this letter to a close,

SEX. The title sure caught your eye quickly,didn't it? It's one of a few marketing techniques I picked up in Latin America - using sex icons 10 sell everything that has nothing todo with sex. Before all of your hungry little minds become saturated with financial engineer­ ing formulas, endless IPhdates and Japanese kanji. I'd I ike to offer some food for thought. This week and next.

INTERACTIVE MARKETINGLocal marketers are con­

tinually trying to outdo traditional methods and mediums of commu­ nication to get a better response from Latin America" s very commu­ nicative and demanding consumer audiences. Any normal, dry or overly-informative commercial is certain to be a flagrant flop. As poi nted out before, almost all adver­ tisements have promiscuity at their base, but cleverly find ways to present it in a different light. Take notes marketeers.

One of my favorite com­ mercials was shown before a movie Breaking the awkward silence of restless murmuriags in the theater, this advertisement literally came to life. A latin man crashes through the doors in the back of the auditorium, runs down to the front and starts yelling at the woman on the screen, his wife. In a perfectly synchro­ nized and funny situation, full of misunderstandings on both sides, they argue about her having appar­ ently cheated on him. The wife's huge 'big screen" head tried to calm

I sat in amazement imagin­ ing the complicated logistics and costs to have practiced men at every movie theater in the city or country to act this pan.

RESOURCE LUMPINGAnother fresh approach to

promotion on the big screen is for various companies to pull together to make a mini-movie featuring their products to be shown before the main feature. These collective ads display the name of each store or product, subtly but noticeably, as it is shown in the movie.

The one I saw was a mini- movie that was shown (again! be­ fore a movie. Products in the one I saw included a local newspaper. Coke, a few local high-fashion stores, a modem teen clothes store. a local flower shop, a hotel and others It was more than Id minutes lonp and included over 3d local stores and products I he produc­ tion dt this sni.ill film proved to he vcrv well done, hut because ol its

On a local scale, re­ gional products or stores could ben­ efit from "lumping its resources" together with larger brands with more experience and deeper pock­ ets for buying power to try to obtain greater exposure and higher quality presentations. Products that don't directly compete and rate a neutral zero on a political correctness scale are candidates for this type of mar­ keting alliance. A few examples would be a local morning newspa­ per with Maxwell House coffee, a local pizza chain with Coke, sport­ ing equipment and Gatorade.

Chivalry Is DeadReflections From Ardbamps

By Amy Nemschoffand Nkhok Paaje

"Yes. we'll be fine." we said as all of our guy friends prepared to leave us in a bar in Prague at 2:00 am. Of course, we were rtaHy thinkine.'What are supposed to do1 Two American women atone at nigh! in the middle of an unknown city." Our plan was to take the 3:30 am train to Vienna, but our plan didn't work out.

We moved to the bar. ordered coffees, and pondered our dilemma. We offered the bartender S5 for his knife, but he said no. When he wasn't lookinc. we reached over and took it. We have already sent it hack. 11 .ink did we know, that our waiter from earlier in the evening had followed us TO the bar. He had been sitting in a dark comer smoking ci;::Lrettes and wainr.i: tor a chance to make a move. He approached us and said in perfect hnglish ihe had onK spoken C/.ech earlier in the ev eninc <, "He) siirts. will vou c< >nie kick to mv place >o I can see your big American breads T" We looked down a! his feet and decided oof to no down that road.

we would soon be out on the street We asked the bartender for the best way to the train station and he said not to worry because he would late care of us. How worried could we be - we had his knife in our bag.

We got into his car and pulled out into the dark, confusing maze of streets in Prague. As we flew across the Charles Bridge, we noted its romantic qualin, and wished that Patrick had amend. Expecting toarrive at the train station at any moment, we woe surprised whenRarickfBlled upatBunkr,oneofPragjK'shonesidisccs.We4dn*tkn()wifiatliel3Kw the train schedule by hean and knew thai we could get to Vienna on any one ofanumber of trains during the night W'e accompanied him in with hopes of finding another ride tothe train statics.

A Greek man standing next to us overheard us and jumped in to say that he was on his way to the train station and would be more than happy to give us a ride. We were near desperation so we accepted his offer. Once again we were on the bary-scaiy streets of Prague. As we whipped around comers and down dark alleyways, be asked us about ourselves, our backgrounds, the United States, and our fathers' occupa­ tions. We became a little wary not a moment too soon because his next question was, "What would your fathers do if tbey ftought you might never come homer Despite the fast speed, our iostam response wasto say, "Nothing!" and jump out of the car. For die first time mat night luck was on our side. We jumped out right in front of the train station.

We went inside, bought our tickets, got on the 6^0 train, and said good-bye to Plague. Watch oat, Vienna, bens we come!

How Green Is Thunderbird?By Toboiha ,4. Chapmanf-lnvironmental Club President

To many Thirds the word "green" may conjure up images of money, grandiose piles of it. Or maybe Kermit the Frog, or e\en perhaps Van Momson's soulful rendition of "It's not easy being green." Bui here ue happen lo he talking of ihe env ironmeni Dur­ ing the spring semester, the hn\i- ronmenial Committee wrote an environmental policy chock full of measurable impro\ement.s Thun­ derbird could adopt To our sur­ prise, uc found the current efforts being undertaken already to be im­ pressive.

Calvin Klein's Controversial Ads Pose Provocative Questions

By Jessica CaMweU

By now. most of us have probably heard about the controver­ sial ad campaign Calvin Klein put togetherforthefallcollection. Many- people who saw the advertisements reacted in outrage, claiming Calvin Klein had resorted to child pornog­ raphy to sell his clothing. Not being an avid television viewer. 1 must admit I never actually saw the commercials, except the excerpts I glimpsed on CNN and Dateline. What I saw there was not what I would consider "pornographic." However, it was probably not an adequate sample to make an informed judgment. Con­ cern was raised over the kids being placed in provocative poses and showing bits of their underwear, etc. From what 1 saw. it was simply a rehashing of what every ad­ vertiser does these days to sell products, only the mod­ els were a little younger. It was nothing this society is not used to seeing on a daily basis. This of course does not justify this type of advertising campaign, if indeed it was "pornographic." I am not mak­ ing a judgment on the issue, rather I am wondering about the effects of Mr. Klein's immediate removal of the campaign.

I actually admire his ac­ tion. Advertising campaigns are very costly and tune consuming, and discontinuing their use prema­ turely would cause some loss to the company. Mr. Klein, however, was motivated by threats of a lawsuit over the advertisements, which would have cost him even more in time, money and reputation. My

question is this: what would have happened to Calvin KJein's notori­ ety and popularity if he had denied the accusations, continued with the campaign, and most likely faced a lawsuit? History show's the response of the American public to contro­ versial issues as being very emo­ tional. Americans like to get in­ volved in these situations by pro­ testing, blockading, and making

emotional appeals to the nation. Already. I have heard opinions of people who arc outraged by the ac­ tions of Calvin Klein, as well as people who do not see anything wrong with the advertisements, sup­ porting the models in their right to choose.

So, hypothetically. what would have happened if the adver­ tisements had continued to run, out­ spoken angry responses had devel- oped and a lawsuit had been filed? First and foremost, people every­ where would be thinking and talk­ ing about the advertisements. Most would have made certain they saw at least one of the commercials so they knew what they were talking about (although a substantial por­

tion would form an opinion without having seen one). The news would still be carrying major stories on it. and of course talk shows would be in on the action. We would prob­ ably see some of the models on the talk show circuit claiming the ad­ vertisements were not pornographic, that it had been their choice to pose for them and that it had been a fun learning experience. People would

flock to buy Calvin Klein products, though protesters would be ad­ vocating boycotts and bothering shoppers as they entered stores. It could develop into an­ other "The Last Temp­ tation of Christ." which by all accounts was not a quality film, but did very well because of all the controversy sur­ rounding it.

Okay, so per­ haps my hypothesis is a little exaggerated, but

think about it: since Calvin Klein's decision to stop running the com­ mercials, have you heard much about the issue? Don't you think it likely (knowing America's reputation for emotionalism and turning small clouds into thunderstorms) the is­ sue would still be in the public eye? Calvin Klein thought his action out well, and prudently removed the advertisements from the television airwaves. This action lost the short- term benefits of the public spotlight, but gained long-term goodwill and helped maintain his quality reputa­ tion. He may still face a lawsuit but I think his image in the overall pub­ lic eye will be greatly enhanced by the way in which he handled the controversy.

culations. They continued their market research to validate and con­ firm their assumptions.

Following, they established a supplier route and purchased equip­ ment. Furthermore, they had re­ searched ways to acquire capital and encourage budding entrepre­ neurs not to let that aspect of the project hold you back. "If you have a clear vision, the money will come. That should be the last place you get hung up," stated Sammons-Castro.

What advice can they give Thunderbirds who are eager 10 start such projects? Be clear about your goals and vision. Evaluate and check yourself because chances are the goals may change. In addition, de­ termine your personal goals for the

project as it fits into your career plans. You must have persistence and a strong sense of committment to your final goal. Apparently, it really helped to have three partners that were able to give each other support and motivation. In addi­ tion, their three different styles complemented each other. Finally and most importantly, be flexible because plans can change.

The Global Grind will em­ phasize quality service and prod­ ucts. They would rather do a few things very well than spread them­ selves too thin and compromise quality.

They will be offering spe­ cialty freshly roasted coffee, tea. bakery products (fresh daily), light

fare and a wide range of beverages. As Hahn put it, "You won't have to be internationally-minded to feel comfortable here but the emphasis will be on an international flavor."

A long with the plan to open the first week of October. The Glo­ bal Grind will be open seven days a week and have extensive hours. Furthermore, they will be open to student suggestions with a sugges­ tion box located right inside the coffee shop.

Look for the complete grand opening information in the Oct. 2 issue of Das Tor.

A Tale of Keflogg's Frosted Mm-Wheats, BatdeCreek, andBy fiarin Romano

I thought I would share wi tfi ail of you the imkjae experience I bad up in Battle Creek, Michigan during my spring semesar.

A French woman, having easily migrated from tf>e mild cfimate of her native Southern France to the sunny skies of Arizona, I didn't follow the easy road this time around when I chose to accept a ruU-ame imernsbip with the cereal giant. .starting at the coldest tax of the year! No offense, bnt Michigan in the dead of winter is not the most bean-warming stase! Fortunately, I would soon realize that, climatic hardships notwithstanding, the experience was going to be well worth it Havi ng had no prior experience in consumer goods, 1 entered the cereal kingdom with an eagerness to learn all the mysteries of brand management and a strong appetite, the latter soon to be satisfied with plenty of Frosted Mini-Wheats.

My first few weeks were spent meeting the members of Kdtogg *s newly restructured "Adult Business Team": from the Kellogg 's Kitchen to the Consumer Affairs Department, I wandered around trying to memorize people's names, functions and location, dreading the day I would have to actually try to fetch all of them for help on oo<omingprojeas,.. To my great relief, everyone was friendly, understanding, and cooperative.

It took roe a couple months to feel that the famous learning curve was indeed spirahng upwards and not downwards, as my taux-pas and mistakes became less common and I began to understand some of die rates of Corporate America. After that, how rewarding it was to see how much I could accomplish: From product development to copy (read advertising campaign) development, from focus groups to Business Team meetings, from trade events to sales brainstonning, I was involved in each and every aspect of brand management; and if some were a bit tedious (number crunching and data gathering are. alas, pan of an Assistant's daily tasks), some were also highly rewarding, even glamorous dike assisting in the shooting of our next TV commercial!)

I have to say, though, that I was very fortunate, for my projects nughtrxx have been so rulfiUmg.haditnot been forthe outstanding manager who supervised my work. Was it because she was young and stiU could remember being an intern herself? Or was it because she possessed qualities thai every manager shouU have; a good heatt, a gsffldeat of Utterance and understanding, and a real commitment to heip people grow? In any case, I certainly owe it to her rhatlhad the most enridBngpnrfesskind experience to mis day (arjd hope to be able to follow her example when the time comes for me to manage someone.)

But whether you happen to M under a great manager or a lousy one, do not despair: the job itself is well worth it and you will have plenty to learn, not only about brand management bat also about wodc io one .of. America's leading corjxiran'cms..^ long as yooretnember (and I am here passing along my dear boss* most important advice) to always consider yourself asPARTOFTHE TEAM. Inot&o-woids,n(*ody«ailRat^)tt as a non-meaningful intern unless YOU consider ycwisetfihat way!

InterAd: Workshop Ini­ tiate Thirds Into Global

MarketingBy Vicki Harder

How do you sell snack foods in the United Kingdom, comput­ ers in Brazil or notebooks in Peru? Ask students enrolled in InterAd and they will put their knowledge of global business to work by developing a complete marketing, advertising and promotional plan. The students this semester will be working on plans for introducing Del! computers into Brazil, Kimberiy-Qark notebooks into Peru and snack foods from Kellogg's into the United Kingdom,

InterAd is the International Marketing and Advertising Workshop taught by Professor Frank Callahan, Groups of students work long hard days during the semester to finally unveil their marketing plan to a panel of advertising/marketing judges and an audience of hundreds here at Thunderbird. This year's big day is Friday, December 1st, when three teams will present their ideas for tfaetr products in their respective countries.

Though each team member assumes an advertising agency rofc from account executive to creative director they often overlap roles to help each other. Each team is given a budget to be allocated among the members of the team for items such as an intro book, stotyboard, moodset, plane ticket for a market research cnp, and a marketing book. There is no room for a "group project from hell" feeling, in fact, what usually happens is mat you start to feel a sick son of attachment to yourfellow group members and you can't seem to go anywhere on campus alone.

The InterAd experience is like no other group project on campus. Sttidentsactuallyapplytoentertheprograrnandit is selective. Hie fos day of class students are assigned to their teams. The teams are created after completing personality profiles and are designed to have a variety of personalities and work styles. The team members often become dose friends "for (he'semester andsometimes forever. R«)jectste<»eMyasagiKda{terstudviagsSKknts* language skills, Uving,andworkexperJence.

Interested students can meet current InterAd members, along with InterAd professor Frank Callahan and past InterAd students. This meeting will provide important information concerning the application process for next semester and interested students are strongly encouraged to attend.

Fallen Angel

With Mirror Ball, '.u- are treated to .'he much awaited col­ laboration between Nei! Vount;. rock's iron tn.in. and Pearl Jam, ;irguahly the most influential hand iit'the I'WO's. Siv guys got logeiher t'or a few weeks of Seattle winter to poundtogether 11 tracks which may come to he known as "N'eil Jam",

They jump right into it with "Song X~. "No tuning, nothing man." you hear Neil say in his stu­ dio voice just before the band roars

into action... "Hey. ho away we go /We're on the road to never". You can tell from the first cords that this album is going to be much different than Young's previous two studio efforts more grinding, more power. You are not disappointed.

This is a natural collabora­ tion from all respects. Neil. Mr. Anti-establishment. Mr. Musical Integrity, with the band which has clearly taken up this same banner in the '90s. Eddie Vedder and com­ pany, a modem day Peter attempt­ ing to slay the big. music business dragon Ticketmaster. At their re­ cent Phoenix show, they even en­ couraged the bootleg taping of their concert, to the horror of recordcom- panies the world over.

Neil and Pearl Jam are clearly disillusioned by music as big business. They are champions of music as an rather than a source for TV jingles. This philosophy is laid down by Young with lyrics like "When you earn their trust / Then you are truly in danger / Where greed and lust / Have never been a stranger." Sounds almost like a warning from master Young to stu­ dents Pearl Jam.

They mesh musically as well. Pearl Jam give a steady, angry drive, an anchor from which Young flies out with big-winged, "Like A Hurricane" style guitar licks and off-key observations. They clearly have a rhythm, and Young seems to feed off of Pearl Jam's youthful power.

Thisalhumisclas- sically challenging. You ne\er knew quite where 11 is going to go. ;iv it mines trom slow and moody to hard and rockin'. "Bij (Jreen ("ountn" is the clearest showcase ot Pe;irl Jam style It is followed by the brcxxjin;: 'Truth Be Known " They pick it up acam on "DiiH'tiitivi'n". rn l;ir the groouesi truck on the album "There's a place called I km niottn / vViicii: all the hippies go / And they d;ince the Charleston/ And they dotheLimho" In this ________ (resur-rectioni ot" old musical ghosts, the gap between the "60s and the '90s is briefly transcended.

And what would Mirror Ball be without a few waxings idealistic? We get these in "Peace and Love" (co-written by Vedder) and "Thrrm- Ynur Haired Down" These raw criticisms of our mod­ em condition demand ac­ tion. "Meanwhile in the underworld the weak­ nesses are seen / By peasants and presidents who plan the coumerscheme / Children in the schoolyard finish choosing teams / divided by their dreams / while the TV screams / Throw you weapons down". Theirsisapessimisticview, but it is a view not without hope.

The penultimate song, "Scenery". is a behemoth romp across the artists' landscape. The- matically. it takes on the darker, empty side of fame and success. "Home of the brave / That's where heroes need protection / We are image slaves /' moved by random selection". Young sings of over-

coming this isolation, and the mu­ sic fights its way to expression. It is the sound of individuality and freedom.

This album is another in a string of quality works produced by Neil Young this decade. Though he never .stopped making music throughout his 30 year career, his experimental sonic sound some­ how got lost in the Rock of Seagulls '80's. But just as Nirvana and Pearl Jam began breaking new ground. Neil came roaring back to popularity. It is a welcome resur­ gence, and Mirror Ball is a wel­ come collaboration.

Proven Stress ReliefBy Karen Habra

Have you ever heard of CranioSacrai Therapy'' Didn't think you had. It's a treatment to properly align your craniosacral system allowing your nervous system to rest at a more stress-free level and allowing your body to heal. Treatments consist of a therapist's light, hands-on approach assisting the hydraulic forces inherent m the craniosacral system to improve the body's internal environment.

What does all this technical information mean, you ask? I had to find out for myself. You see. right across the street, nextdoorto 7-! 1 (15224 N. 5*hh Ave. Suite 51. John Ossipinsky has-just opened the Center for Natural Therapy. In fact, it has only been open since September 11 but already many Tbirds have received beneficial treatments.

John came to Phoenix from New York in 1991 where he worked as a firefighter. Family !ed him to move out here after his retirement. Since then, he has been working, waiting for the right moment to open up the ('enter. And. undoubtedly, the time has come.

As many of you have not heard of CranioSacrai Therapy, it is important to ehlborate. Established 25 years ago by Osteopathic physician and surgeon. Dr. John l-plcdger. the treatment has been used to evaluate and treat medical problems avwXuiicd v, i:h pa;r. and dy=f«incrion. In addition, it i< a tool of relaxation which, unlike treatment from a chiropractor, works on muscle and not hone.

This is not exactly a massage, ai least not in the traditional sense of a Swedish "physical" massage. In the case of cnmiosacral therapy, the therapist uses only a very light touch to improve the functioning of your brain and spinal cord, to dissipate the negative effects of stress and to enhance your general health and resistance to disease.

All of this sounded very enticing so I decided to try this out for myself. Even upon entering the Center, you could feel a sense of relaxation. It was very clean, quiet with a wft mini-fountain stxHhrngyoarniiDd. fwas led to one of the treatment rooms where! laid down on a massage table, surrounded by mood lighting and soft music. John, a licensed massage therapist who has received advanced training from the Uptedger Institote, prcKeededtomformraeofeverypartofthetreatrnent. It was very reassuring to know how comfortable one could feel

Finally, the session began. John worked from my feet up to my head, with only light touches at my ankles, tegs, hip, back, neck and head My body was completely relaxed, almost tingling. I actually fell asleep a few tiroes. Iwasawaker^toafeelmgofwannrhfixMnu^rfKiapist'shands calming rny muscles. The best pan was the cranial work which would be quite beneficial for people who suffer from headaches arri migraines. In addition, this can soothe lower back pain, whiplash and hip pain.

Not only is this treatment administered by doctors and certified massage therapists but also by medical doctors, osteopaths, doctors of chiropractic medicine, psychiatrists, psychologists, dentists, and physical therapists. It is part of the "holistic" natural health trend that issweeping the country. Andthisisn'tatrendthaiwfllcomeandgo. Manymorepbysicians agree with the idea of healing yourself completely, with diet, exercise and proper mindset Tr^irrvdvescalmingycmrbodyandgettingridQftension and anxiety.

Unfortunately, I cannot describe any more of mis beneficial treat- mem. You wil! just have to experience it for yourself.

"dockers" is a ftl m about whan drug wars, but aiypica! of the "gangsta" genre of films de­ picting, primarily, gratuitous vio­ lence. It is directed and co-pro­ duced by Spike Lee. a filmmaker known for hi^ ^oniroversb] theme* and strong moral stances. This film i> no exception

"Dockers," while deal­ ing with die bleak topk of troubled yonngdrag dealers in New York's boosing projects, leaves room for hope.

The movie centers around Strike (Mekhi Phifer). a "docker" (crack dealer) who is battling a war within himself. He "doesn't have the stomach" for the street life anymore, yet feels trapped by the persuasions of bis "father fig- are" drag lord, Rodney (Deboy

Lindo). Strike sells drugs on the benches of a park for Rodney, yet is promi.sed a "promotion" if he pro\e< hirrbelf by murdering the night manager of a local faM-food establishment, AhahV

All of the actors in "Clock­ ers" play their roles convincingly, perhaps due in part to the fact that the characters were modeled after real people.

What I do understand, un­ fortunately, is that Bill's is not on this critic's "to dine" list. Bill's has little atmosphere, the service is spotty, and the food is rather bland and overpriced.

We were seated quickly RIGHT NEXT TO THE BAND. Not wanting to be blasted with Greek music for the entire evening, we moved further away from the band and ended up in the smoking section where.fortunately.the smoke wasn't too overpowering.

We first ordered drinks: iced tea and water. While I am not a tea taster, or tea expert. I do know- bad iced tea when I have it. Folks, this was not tasty iced tea. In fact, it tasted like it was from a can. a bottle, or had been lying around for days. Don't order the iced tea.

The side salad, with bouse dressing, was nothing more than some lettuce, onion and tomatoes covered in oil. The dressing was bland and taste­ less.

I had the chance to taste the chicken breast pita dish and was somewhat pleased, though the chicken was a tad bit dry. The Greek Platter offered a sample of everything, and everything was mediocre, especially given the rather high price of S9.95. The spinach pie was the best tasting part of it all. While 1 did not try the pizza, it looked fine enough and the "taster" who ordered the pizza was pleased.

Recent I'S-Japanese agreements will be reviewed, as well as outstanding issues between Japan and investors from other countries.

Lectures and discussion will be in English, with interpreters

when necessary. The classes will begin on Monday January 8 and concludeonFriday.January 19. Par­ ticipants will be expected to arrive during the first week of January for an orientation on Friday January 5. Some housing will be available at Thunderbird's Friend House.

INS Convenes Foreign Student Task Force

Second in a series of articles on the status of Immigration in the V.S

j i By Angela Colyvas

On May 25. 1995. the Immigration and Naturalization Service, in a letter to NAFSA (National Association of Foreign Student Advisors), announced that it is beginning a"comprebensive review of the entire process relating to the admission and monitoring of foreign students in the United States." This review was scheduled to begin during a two week period starting July i 7th. Many believe that this new policy has come out of last year's FBI recommendation for increased scrutiny of student visa holders.

Reviews will be conducted by a team of government and private-sector experts. They will develop recommendations de­ signed to consider both increased controls on foreign students and streamlined procedures for school officials. Team members include INS personnel as well as officials from the US Information Agency and the State Department.

While NAFSA is not permitted to sit in during the discus­ sions, the INS assures that it will be in close contact with the Association. Further, if developments are to be made into regulatory changes, they will be subject to public comments. Some possible areas for reform by the task force include:

j | Jemployment authorization eligibility of foreign studentsI j "increased reporting by school officials of changes in for-II eign student programs, substantial fee for foreign student admis-

CAMPUSRotary International Sends

Students to MadagascarBy Ariel R. King

During one month this sum­ mer I and 4 team members went to Madagascar as Ambassadors in the Group Study Exchange Program of Rotary International. Rotary Inter­ national was founded in 1905. To­ day it is an international association with more than one million business and professional leaders. They pro­ vide humanitarian service, promote ethical standards, and help to build good-wiD and peace in the world. The Group Study Ex­ change Program, introduced in 1965 is an educational ac­ tivity which promotes inter­ national understanding through organized travel and person-to-person contact The programprovides travel grants for teams between paired ar­ eas indifferent countries. Each of the two paired districts sends and receives a team. Our team to Madagascar was truly a cross-section of people: Mike, a physician. Jenny, a Grand Canyon Ranger. Dave, a speech therapist, the team leader Gary, a minister and myself, a Tbuaderbird ituckm.

DEMOGRAPHICSMadagascar is an island off

the coast of the continent of Africa that contains wonderful and tragic extremes. It is a lush and tropical island that contains more than 15,000 animals and plants that are unique only to this island. It also has wealth in its natural resources that they are unable to exploit At least 80% of the forests have been cut back to grow more rice to meet the population's demands.

Since 1993's election of Albert Zafy, the political climate in the country1 has stanedto turn around after 18 years of a military govern­ ment. He was committed to re­ writing the constitution, signing a IMF/World Bank agreement to Structural Adjustment Loans . privatization, and economic reforms. The present day economic situation of Madagascar is very serious.

Currently it is a structural loan defaulter of 57 million dollars

with a debt that exceeds the GDP by lOOperceniFrom 1971 to 1991 the per capita standard dropped by al­ most 50 percent. In addition from 1993 to 1994 the value of the Mala­ gasy Franc (FMG) slipped from $0.50 to S0.05. These facts manifest themselves in harsh economic facts that include a GNP of $200 with a real growth of 1.9%, a GNP per capita of $230 and inflation of 14.5 percent The trade balance is minus (-)SIOl million, with a foreign trade

deficit ot $2.4 billion dollars. The Overseas Development Agency (ODA) gave S443 million dollars in 1992.

ROTARY AND TRAVELDuring our stay, we visited

and participated in various meet­ ings, dinners, conferences and so­ cial occasions withabout 5 different clubs. I met alumni of Thunder- bird— one Rotarian from Zambia (72) and one whose niece returned to Madagascar in 1995.

During the trip A-e were able to see a good portion of the southeast portion of the country. The roads were expectedly very dif­ ficult to travel and in great disrepair, Traveling the roads of the country allowed us to encounter people, places and beauty we would not have otherwise seen. The beauty of the country and the people over­ shadowed the immense poverty that was apparent in all aspects of the average persons life.

THE BEAUTY OF THE CHILDREN

Although Madagascar is a very poor country, the children's strong driving desire for education is a bright light in an otherwise difficult reality. The literacy rate is very high for a country of its eco­ nomic standing. To read about this is interesting, but to experience this through the children of the country was truly magical. The children we met all over the country would ask

foraa/to.a pen. The children would ask tourists for peas because to team and write was at times more important to them than candy or ban bom. Those who are economically well-off send their children to private schools and to a uni­ versity abroad, usually France, Switzerland or the United States. Education and literacy is the way that the Malagasy improve their lives. Even the children who do not have shoes walk to school so learn. The Malagasy people can teach a grea: lesson in the value of education to all the world

ROTARY SCHOLARSHIPSThunderbird has several

students (non-US citizens) who are studying with full scholarships from Rotary. The opportunities for study of culture, language and business in another country includes: Group Study Exchange Grant, and Schol­ arships: Academic Year Ambassa­ dorial. Multi-year Ambassadorial, and Cultural Ambassadorial. The scholarships are for 3 or 6 months and 2 or 3 years. The scholarship funds are for round- trip transporta­ tion, language training, tuition and academic fees, and reasonable liv­ ing costs.

If the owner pays the utili- ties,add anywhere from$20to$150 extra per month to me rent. Resale value on rented properties are not affected if facilities are well main­ tained As one agent said "rental properties do not have a different sates market than owner occupied" Anotherinterestingpoint is that rents chargedin north-west Gtendate have increased be- tweenSandlO percent per annum in re­ cent years.

Gen­ eral indicators show sales on the Phoenix real estate market have strengthened again after suf­ fering a seri­ ous down-turn following the great boom of the early 1980V Says Pete Zych. Real Estate Evaluation Group president: "It's a recovery period tor the residential real esuiic market in Arizona In years prior it has been very flat, but there are (now) a lot of new homes and new activity on the market.

The up-tum, Mr. Zych said, was directly attributable to a strengthening economy state-wide in Arizona Economic growth here was over twice the national average, resulting in new development and more jobs, he said

That opinion was backed by others in the industry. A 28-year veteran of Phoenix real estate. George Pappas. spent five years in the late SO's sellingrepossessed prop­ erties after the big slump.

Now he can't get enough multiple listings for Glendale. "It's a sellers market now, the first time it's been this way in a long time. It's a very strong market and the prob­ lem is finding what buyers want. This is the fastest growing city in the US, South California businesses are moving to Arizona and it's a right

to work state."But with the strengthening

market comes less bargaining power — if market value on a house is $95,000, expect to pay at teast tot.

Repossessed houses are an option, with good and bad points. For people with little cash to front for deposits, it opens doors to buy­ ing a house or apartment at around half the entry cost of a multi-listed home. Funds are made available to buyers to cover redecoration and transfer costs.

But Mr. Pappas warns, buy­ ers of repossessed houses also often
