Duty,Honor,Country

Integrityis a big thing with most people. Thai's what they teach you at West Point. Duty, Honor, Country. I always wanted go to West Point. Iattended Staunton Military Academy, and was ready to go. but my father died, and I had to comeback to take care of the business. I ngure by now, I'd be either a retired general or a dead general. I won the Thayer award at West Point. It w as the greatest thing that e\ er happened to me.

I think the cut-backs have gone too quickly. It's always been the history of our country. When we're not a! war. everybody cuts down on armed forces . Before you knou, it. when we have a war. we don't have anyone to fight. We make cutbacks, then we're not ready, and we have to rearm.

Affiliation with Thunderbird

me one dayjustafew days before he died He told me that he'd started an international trade school, and had bought old Thunderbird Field #1, to train Americans to work abroad. 'That's when I knew he'd lost his marbles.* He wanted to know if I would be interested in being on the Board of Directors. I said 'sure' . So that's how the school got started, and its going very well. He paid one dollar for it. Whenfederal properties become surplus, they go to churches first, and if the churches don't want them, the schools get them.

I lectured at Thunderbird on numer­ ous occasions about my experience in retail­ ing and marketing. I spoke at commencement a couple times. They used to have graduation speech in each of the languages: English,

phalo courtesy Ben Connelly Spanish and Portuguese. In those days 80*5: of the students went into Latin America, and most spoke Spanish

Sarajevo Siege ——————A Domestic Issue of the Superpowers?

By Chris Groves

T he Bosnian Serbs have been shelling Sarajevo amid NATO threats of mili­ tary action for months; however, as of

February 22, there seems to have been a halt to the carnage. Should we thank the U.S. or NATO for the temporary peace? Strangely enough, Russian diplomacy is receiving the credit. You might wonder why the Russians have succeeded at restoring order to Sarajevo when years of US. and European led negotia­ tions have railed. The answer to these per- ptexingquestions may lieon campus, because rBirds'IfflernationalSnjdiesDepanrnenthas resident experts in the fields of diplomacy and Russian politics.

To determine why U.S. and Euro­ pean policies were ineffective, I consulted Professor Karen Walch, who teaches Diplo­ macy. Negotiations, and Bargaining. Profes­ sor Walch attributes the railed efforts to a lack of unified policy direction on behalf of the

U.S. and Europe. European nations cannot reach a consensus as to what type of diplo­ matic or military action is necessary to restore peace to the region. This problem is con­ founded by the tact that the U.S., the strong arm of NATO, has also not been able to form a definitive policy. Most likely, the threats of air-strikes against the Serbs went unheeded, because the Serbs knew that PresidemClinton did not have the domestic support for sus­ tained military actions. Therefore, strangely enough, the problems of the former Yugosla­ via can be partially attributed to a US. domes­ tic policy issue. However, Professor Walch thinks that President Clinton took initiative in denning a U.S. policy with the Feb. 18 noti­ fication to Congress that he was prepared to order air-strikes in Bosnia-Herzegovina. It appears that this impending mreat of military action opened the door for Russia to step in and restore order.

Russian President Boris Yeltsin committed a contingent of Russian ground

troops to Sarajevo, and the Bosnian Serbs abruptly agreed to stop shelling Sarajevo and to turn many of iis heavy weapons over to U.N. ground troops. Professor Linda Wetzel, who teaches Russia - New World Order. provided very interestingand insightful specu­ lations as to the underlying domestic motiva­ tions of this Russian action. Professor Wetzel speculates that the Russian decision was prompted by cultural ties to the Serbians and out of Yeltsin's fear of the Russian ultrana- tionalist politician. Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

Both the Russians and the Serbs are Slavs, and thus share many cultural ties such as the Orthodox religion. Furthermore, the Serbs have felt a bond with Russia ever since Peter the Great protected the Serbs against oppression from the Ottoman Empire. Given this past relationship, is not surprising that Russia offered to send in ground troops to restore the peace, and to save the Serbs from airstrike casualties. Professor Wetzel points out that this diplomatic success puts Moscow's international sphere of influence in the spot­ light, gamers national support for the Yeltsin regime, and reinforces the Russian peoples' faith in their sovereignty.

An Interview with §haronChou- a 1986

Thunder-bird Graduate

by Connie Fu

Grtting a job in international busi­ ness is the goal of the majority of us at Thunderbird. For Sharon

S.R.Chou.a 1986 graduate from Thunder- bird, this goal was reached when she joined the International Trade & Investment Di­ vision of the Arizona Department of Com­ merce in 1987 as the Asia International Trade Specialist.

Ms. Chou's responsibilities in­ volve promoting trade between Arizona andAsia. Her major task is to help Arizona companies export their -product* to Asia. She also travels from time to time to places such as Taiwan, China and Singapore, to participate in international trade shows. She helps organize these trade shows and invites Arizona companies to attend.

" When asked what helped her the most in getting the job, Ms. Chou replied that apart from the education she obtained from Thunderbird, previous work experi- ewx and peisorjalcornmitrnent are equally important "Commit to yourself* is her slogan.

Before Ms. Chou came to the United States in 1976, she was an air stewardess for an airline in Taiwan. She attended the National Taiwan University for her bachelor's degree in sociology at the same time. Two years later, she moved with her family to the U.S. to Berkeley, California. She then applied to the Master's of Business Administration program at Arizona State University, hoping to learn new skills.

After one semester at ASU, her interest changed Sheanendedtbejournal­ ism program instead at the San Francisco State University. However.she soon found that journalism did not match her career goal eitber.so she quickly foundajobat the Bank of America aod was later transferred to the branch office in Taiwan.

Two years later, she worked for anotr^cornpany.Manufacturer'sHanover Trust in Taiwan, as a marketing assistant She was sentto Hong Kong andNew York for training. When she was in the States, she decided to get a master's degree in international management to advance her career in the banking industry.

Ms. Chou came to Thunderbird in 1985. After four semesters of total commitment to studying, she graduated in 1986. In her job search, Ms. Chou focused on banking and related jobs. She was soon offered a job by the China Investment and Trust Bank in Los Angeles.

Het gaf ons meteen net ge voel dai we welkom waren! De tweede verrassing was voor mij; een club op campus speciaal voor de partners van de studenten; The International Women's Club. De FWC is opgericht in de zomer van 1990 door de Foreign Student Office. Beverly Trbovichheefter3jaarvoorgezorgddatdeT- bird partners eflcaar tenminste een keer per week ontmoetten. De IWC heeft mij enorm geholpen om me hier thuis te gaan voelen. iets wat vaak niet mee valt zo ver weg van familie en vrienden!

Sinds de zomer van 1993 worden de aktiviteiten georganiseerd door de leden zelf: dit semester zijn er zo'n 40 leden van 20 verschillende nationaliteiten!

course!) and we found a nice apartment for our link family Carlo. Tanja and Charlie Jr. then six months old.

We recei veda first welcome toThun- derbird on our first night in town; an invitation for dinner from a couple of T birds we met by coincidence. They gave us the feeling that we were welcome here right away.

Since the summer of 1993. the ac­ tivities have been org:inized by the members themselves. This semester we have about 40 members of 20 different nationalities! One of the activities, for example, was a presentation about Japan, complete with tea and rice cook­ ies, arranged by our Japanese members Magalie and Claude from Haiti talked about their country last semester. In the next few weeks we arc planning some activities' wreath- making, movie night. Girl's Night Out at Garcia's and a presentation about Africa.

Two Third alumni. Monika Hall. Recruitment Officer and Conan Piesen. Desk Officer for Special Operations for !he Former Yugoslavia, working at the I'nited Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) presented the facts about careers with the t'N'HCR to students last Thursday. February 17. A 20-minute video demonstrated in graphic detail the serious needs of the world's refu­ gees. The mandate of the UNHCR is to meet the physical and emotional needs for short- term relief and to work for long-term self sufficiency of refugees. UNHCR defines refugees as "those who have fled their coun­ tries because of a well-founded fear of perse­ cution for reasons of their race religion na­ tionality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group and who cannot or do not want to return."

In addressing ihequalifications nec­ essary to work w ith the UNHCR, Monika and Conan described their respective career paths pre-andpost-Thunderbird. The major criteria seems to be overseas experience in a develop- ingcountry. Forexampie. Conan isaretumed Peace Corps Volunteer and Monika spent several years in a LDC prior to coming to the desert of Arizona. Another important qualifi­ cation is fluency in English and another lan­ guage not necessarily an official UN lan­ guage. Conan joked that he would hire any­ one who speaks Creation in addition to En­ glish and has 10 yean freight forwarding experience. Our Tbird alumni were frank in sharing with us that positions with UNHCR are very competitive and basically, anyone wanting to get a job then; needs A CON-

Doing Business in Germanyby Mike Oakes

"I believe that inter­ national trade should always be a two-way street. Other­ wise it will lead to a dead end." This seemed to be the cornerstone of Bernhard Germont's business philoso­ phy, which he explained last week in a speech before the German American Business Association (GABA) entitled "How To Do Business in Ger­ many." Mr. Clermont is the recently appointed Managing Director of the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Western I'rmed Stales. Inc.. located in Los Angeles. California.

A native German and a specialist in international trade with experience gained through various U.S. government agencies in Germany and in private industry, he gave some important insights into doing business in fierrnapv

At the most basic level, he empha­ sized that to do business with Germany, you must understand Germany. The country re­ lies very heavily on its exports; this sector accounts for almost 45% of Germany's GNP and, additionally, adds a needed surplus to the government budget But the "German Eco­ nomic Miracle" has faded in recent years. The effects of the European and worldwide recession in the early 1990's, combined with the costs of reunification, have led to a tre­ mendous strain on both national and munici­ pal governments. Toe rcsutt is an unofficial inflation rate which he estimates to be as high as 20% (as compared to the official rate of approximately 3%)astfabbarden is passed on to the people in the form of taxes and "Nebenkosten" (i.e. municipal fees, such as the fee for trash cans, which was recently raised by 200%). Mr. Oermoot sees this as the major problem facing Germany today.

More specifically.Mr.aermont had these recommendations for doing business in Germany:

(1) THINK LONG-TERM. Ger­ mans depend much more on set schedules. Appointment should be set well in advance, meaning four jo six weeks. In other words, don't just drop by Siemens on a sales call.

(2) GERMAN BUSINESS IS DE­ CENTRALIZED. You won't find every­ thing in one general location, like in Tokyo, London and Paris. There are six or seven major areas of business throughout Germany, and you could lose valuable time traveling between Munich, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, and

Berlin. The one remedy to this problem. Mr Clermont advised. i> to go toa German trade fair. Germany has a long and strong tradition in trade fairs dating back to the Middle Ages, and they are very powerful organizations to­ day. There you will find SOft of your market inone location. If utilized correctly, thiscould be one of your most important business tools in Gciiiuuiy. This ieaos to...

(3) PLAN VERY CAREFULLY. Prepare well in advance. This includes find­ ing the right trade fair for your product Then be sure and contact potential customers well in advance and inform then of where vou will be.

(4) SPEAK GERMAN. Language is one very important key to success. Even though much of the world's business is done in English, speaking the native language of your market allows you to channel into their culture and their mentality. Hopefully this is something which we T-birds have already clued into.

(5) DONT CONCENTRATE ON A COUNTRY, BUT RATHER ON AN IN­ DUSTRY. This sounds like a fairly sirnpk rule, but it is one mat is commonly over­ looked.

(6) UNDERSTANDTHEIMPOR- TANT ROLE OF THE "HANDELSKAMMER" AND BE PRE­ PARED TO WORK WITH THEM. Simflar to American chambers of commerce, these organizations wield a great deal of power in Germany. Ask Toys-R-Us, who finally brought a Handelskammer insider in as a top executive to help overcome their early diffi­ culties there. Membership is mandatory and enforced by German law.

Mr. Clermont had some insightful criticisms ofboth American andGerman busi­ ness techniques. He viewed the unemploy­ ment problems in places like California as stemming from various managers' inability to

anticipate what is going to happen in the environment As an example, he discussed the massive layoffs in the de­ fense and aeronautics indas- tries, which failed to antici­ pate changing industry needs. Germany itself faces an un­ employment rate of 10%. Mr. Clermom's solution to both of these situations is for com­ panies to diversify into new areas, but this, he said, will take collective action and co­ operation between business and government.

He also questioned if A men cans really understand the meaninc of import/export "For many Americans." he said, "business berueen Wisconsin and Texas is considered exporting." This is still the mentality of many American firms, he stated.

Mr. Clermon! aJso spent a cood deal of time explaining the activities of the German American Chamber of Com­ merce. It is a unique organization in that it promotes trade bilaterally between the two countries rather than in just one direc­ tion. It is a private member organization which also receives federal funding from Germany, and it has a large world-wide network, with 83 offices in Germany and 65 offices abroad.

His personal goal as Director for the Western United States is to expose German industry to the great business potential in tbc region. "So many German tourists go to the Grand Canyon and to Las Vegas,"Oennont said. "What I want is to get German bosfaMnes over here."

In as especially interesting de­ velopment. Mr. Qennont has offered to exterjd the to and only university chap­ ter membership in the German American Chamber of Commerce to Thunderbini Almough the details are sketchy, students would be able to join the GACC at a discount (around $30 - S50 a year, as opposed to the normal SI50). This would give T-birds the opportunity to utilize the GACCs extensive network and would entitle student-members to join in area forums, seminars and social events. It could be an important direct link into the international business world For more information, contact Kathleen A. Langheck of the German American Busi­ ness Association at 588-8501.

Praying in Tokyob\ Andre Doumia

One morning as I was flowing into the subway station and up the stairs and down the key with the throng. I saw

what i recognized from pictures to be a prey­ ing mantis alight on the platform next to a large supporting beam, largely out of the flow of traffic but still very much in harm's way. As I bustled into a very orderly line 3 abreast and eight deep, and at the exact spot whet * the subway's doors would shortly hiss open, I remember thinking "Oh heck, this thing is gonna get flattened any second now." .And even as I thought this, asalaryman issued from the masse and came very close to doinc just that, and then another, and another Final K. I figured that since he'd vveathered these mortal attacks, it might be time I stepped in.

Intent on my mission of mercy, then, I abandoned my briefcase to the line and de­ scended, Christlike. upon the arthropod. I attempted to apprehend the fellow by grasp­ ing him about tne thorax with my thumb and forefinger, but he turned upon the offending digits with what I took to be a menacing glare. Startled, I let go. dropping the critter to the subway platform.

The insect hit the ground running, and scuttled enthusiasticaUytowardayoung lady's bright red shoe. The lady, being quite en­ grossed in a novel, did not notice the creature until quite late in its assault, but compensated by emitting a loud yelp accompanied by hor­ rified facial contortions. This new develop­ ment introduced us, the arthropod and L. to a much larger audience.

The platform was very crowded now, per­ haps 200 people, and I realized with eoibai- rassment that the insect and I were very mod) n^ center of aueufloo. I suddenly nndfruood mat it was important maaphoricaOy dat I save this mantis Once again, Hmnad far the

mmfiivrr \x^rtr^ anrlwasctosing when I realized I was holding Richard Feynman's "Surely You Must be Joking Mr. Feynman" novel in my right hand. Iqmddy placed it flat in front of the creature, suc­ ceeded in gettingit to crawl onto the book, and began turning it away from me around and around like a treadmill while this large pray­ ing mantis kept pace.

All around me I could hear a low murmur­ ing as I began walking toward the open plat­ form window, still treadmilling the mantis. As I neared the window frame, I began to slowly outstretch my arms, but suddenly, before I'd quite reached the window, the mantis leaped from the book and was flying across the platform, over the headsof startled, suited commuters, through the window and out, out over the Tokyo morning, its large wings moving rhythmically, its slow, steady progress away... and then it was gone.

I stood there for a moment, looking stu­ pidly out the window. Suddenly, the screech of a train coming to a halt pierced my reverie. and. remembering the crowd. I wheeled around to find they were all preparing to board the train. Quickly I pocketed my book, hustkd back to the line, collected my briefcase and moments later, bustled into the crowded train.

Sarajevo, ——————continued from p. 1

The question of Russian sover­ eignty has been questioned by Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a staunch critic of Yeltsin. Professor Wetzel speculates thai Yeltsin used the surprise commission ofRussian troops to SK^CVO to prove to his people that Russia wasnota"patsyoftheWest". TWsassertion may be supported by the fact that, following Clinton's endorsement of NATO airstrikes, Bods Yeltsin did not return Clinton's tele­ phone calls for several days. Sons Yeltsin was probaWy trying to send a message to his people that Russia did not approve of airstrikes on me Serbs, and that Russia should not be

left out of NATO's decision loop.Was there really a breach of com­

munication between the two leaders? In an interview on the Macneil/Lehrer News Hour. U.S. Secretary of State Warren Chris­ topher stated that there was communica­ tion between the leaders through himself and his Russian counterpart. Based on Christopher's statement. Professor W'et/el entertains the possibility that Clinton and Yeltsin may have been Machiavellian enough to have staged the whole breach of communication episode to help Yeltsin's sovereignty and consequently garner do­ mestic support by discounting Vladimir Zhirinovsky's criticisms.

EG. What i> important i> not the computer, it is the ability to use that as a tool to get the data and information from which you con make decisions.

What is important is to be able to get that out of a database or a spreadsheet and be able to manipulate it sum­ marize it. and process it into a form that you can use to make decisions.

That kind of thing you will not find in any one course, it should be throughout the curriculum. The intro level computer course teaches you how to use the tool. For example, we get to advanced level macros with Lotus where you can automate spreadsheets so that when you go through something every week, you don't have to repeat the same steps. Consequentiy.it makes you more productive.

We also work on integrating soft­ ware. The projects in this class require put­ ting data from a database into a spreadsheet, and doing quantitative analysis and then us­ ing either Lotus or Han'ard Graphics todo the presentation graphics and write a file report By the time you get out of this course you should know which buttons to push.

DT. What about other courses?

EG: The other courses dial we have specifi­ cally geared toward use of the computers are at the next level: Marketing Research (WB4530) is going to use it to analyze sur­ veys. Production Operations Management (WB4320) is going to use it in product man­ agement and the DecisionModels(WB4300) looks at mathematical models and business theories for decision making.

Another course is WB4330 (not in the catalogue), which is geared toward what international managers need to know about the problems they are going to encounter in using systems across borders. That course is not so much about using the computer as it is about managing information and making de­ cisions.

DT. Intermsoftheknowledgeyou acquire through these courses, is the com­ puter center another way of adding to mat education, and if so, how?.

EG. The two (classes and computer center) are interlinked. It is a matter of finding the most efficient way of making software and hardware available to students. The com­ puter center has standardized software avail­ able to all students on campus.

Other courses use specialized soft­ ware. The marketing research class uses SPSS (Statistical Analysis Package). Other packages used for particular classes include QSB and 1ST (statistical packages), and FoxPro (similar to a database program like

DbaselV). Those are on the (Thunderbird) network and available to everyone but every­ one might not know about them unless they take specific classes.

If you have a particular project you are working on that requires a particular kind of analysis, it is up to you to go to the computer center or ask the professors if they know of any program which can be used For projects, professors may have software not on the net­ work which they can make available to stu­ dents.

DT. For someone who hasn't taken your course, is there an outlet where student's cangeta tutorial 0

EG.Some of these programs have tutorials, but (I think) in most cases you need instruction. The profes­ sors who teach these courses have teaching assistants who can get you started oo the programs which is

most often what you need.What you get out of my course is the

ability to integrate different software pack­ ages and the ability tositdownandleam(teach yourself) to use a new program without super­ vision.

DT. Cyberphobia. Das Tor doesn't have it but mere are probably students who do. whichmay compel them toCLEPoutofyourcourse. How can you advise the student who has cyberphobia to conquer this fear?

EG. We have students every semester (about 10%) who tell me they have avoided it (the computer) and have gotten through college without using it They have worked really hard not to have to use the computer (Laugh­ ter) up to this point

I mink the only way to get around (cyberphobia) is to do it Like a lot of people who first learned to drive a car, they were afraid to use the machine. It is powerful and it can bun people; the same kind of thing applies with the computer at a differem level If I touch the wrong button I am going to destroy everything, and the machine will blow up.

Well.itisnotgoingtoblowup. YOB are careful, you don't work on the only copy, you make sure you have a couple of (backup) disks and you have duplicate copies in more than one place so that if something does bap- pen, you are not destroyed.

There are things like this you oust learn. You have to learn how to deal with the machine. It is frustrating, it is stressful, aid you have to learn bow to handle it

DT. Is there anything you would like toad?

EG. We don't have a formalized hdp desk, and unfortunately many of the graduate assis­ tants in the computer center are not highly tratned on the computers. They arc just there to helpoutaoj students need to know theirjob is not to help (train) you with the software.

Butyouneedtoknowtherearcother resources. You have to go to someone else. Usually other students, someone else at die computer center and/or professors. If thae is something you need to do. whether it Re­ quires) analytical thinking, managing daaor P«»ng out a specialized repon,

The third transmission media of the information highway is the wireless one. his a technology that overlaps from the previous articles, which describe the information highway's impact on cable TV and the tele­ phone companies. Yet it is so new and unique that it merits separate attention. The medium is the radio spectrum which is used for ground- based and space-based communications sys­ tems. This partial list shows how services share the broad spectrum space in the U.S.: AM 550K- 1650KHz Shortwave 1.6SM-30MHz FM 88M-I08MHz TV-VHP 54M-216MHz TV- UHF 220M-500MHz Cellular Ph. 800M-900MHz Cordless Ft. 90lM-928MHz PCS 1.85G-2.2GHz\ficrowavi? Oven 2.4OHz

others include: citizen band radio, packet ra­ dio and satellite TV.

Electronic engineers tend »o see the spectrum as a limited, scarce natural resource. That is why. when the FCC allocated 40MHz of bandwidth to Personal Communications Services (PCS) in the last few months, that it was seen as very strong encouragement from the federal government for wireless voice/ data communications and private wireless networks. Around 1997. digital network com­ munication^ using low. -pou er high-frequenc >ruij.v v^vcrs ^ uh spec'd*- of ;irourKJ 32KHp-,

will use the PCS bandwidth. This will give rise to many new consumer products, such as wireless local area networks and personal digital assistants. It will operate similar to a cellular phone system, except with different data-transmission methods and at a higher frequency.

Thecellularphonesystemhas slatted

lor tirml the reach and mobility over ibc ok! copper and fiber telephone system Trm is blurring the distinc­ tion between the local and long-dis­ tance companies Theccllularphone systems arc now upgrading from analog to digital transmissions. Cel­ lular systems are on the rise with 30 million cellular phones in use today

worldwide. This is expected to rise to 100 million by the year 2000. Compare China three years ago with 100,000 cellular phone users to the 3 million users today. Cellular systems are provided by regionaDy based companies that have set up a ground-based gnd of antennae. The problem with cellular tends to be the high cost of the service and lack of complete coverage around the nation.

For the future, look to satell ite phone communications. Most notable is Motorola's Indium project to launch 36 communications satellites into orbit. The satellite system will circle the poles and will eventually provide worldwide coverage. The grid of satellites will work similarly to cellular systems except the phones will require greater power. This system is extremely ambitious and complex, not iust for the technical aspects but also the political. Imagine trying lo license a piece of the spectrum from each major country in the world.

Already satellite dishes bring hun­ dreds of" television channels and distant radio stations into the home. It is already heing used for distance education applications, so-called teleconferencing. If the dishes could he up­ grading to send as well as receive video sig­ nals, the possibility of videoconferencing ex­ ists. Many in the world, have found satellite dishes their only way toaccess programming, for example. CNN.

Other consumer trends include: personal digital assistants (PDAs), i.e. handheld wire­ less communicators that allow access 10 F.- rnail and database's Piese are still \er. ncv. .ind h.j\e m.irr. huj;s. hut i.»ok pr.inii-.in;: ti>r mobile notepads tiut communicate * itti * ari- ous data services.

The wireless network is still in its infancy and will be fascinating to watch to see how it develops. Although it is believed that only 20% of the top income bracket will have access to it for some time, it will eventually prove to be another significant part of the information highway.

CLUB SCENEThe TICF Weekend Retreat

The Thunderbird International Christian FeDowship Club enjoyed a relaxing weekend retreat in the snow dusted pines of Prescoo. Twenty-fiveT-birds travelled north on Friday. February 18. for an overnight stay at the distinctive Prescott Pines camp ground Our casual agenda consistedof sharing meals, singing a chorus or two. and studying the word. We teamed a little more about each other and about ourselves.

The mountains provided a backdrop for hikers to reflect upon the weekend's theme "Running the Good Race". All in all it was a great get-away and the consensus was to do it again! _______________ __

Cling-On Club Updateby Stephen A. Khan

Welcome fellow MLMers to the Q ing On Gub. My name is Steve Khan and 1 am the self appointed documentor/scholar of the Arizona chapter of the Cling On Club. Now forthoxrofvou unfamiliar with the term Cling On let me start by saving we have nothing to do with Science Fiction or some nameless TV show-. No No we are much bigger than that, in fact we are a global organization!

We were not represented at the Thunderbird Club day because we were taking up the Laser Primers in the Computer Center. Do you know a member of the Cling On organization (that word sounds more professional) personally'1 Probably. We might not be immediately visible to the current student eye, but we are very prevalent on campus.

Let me tell \ ou how to identify a member of the Cling On organi/atton. We are those that w ear the same outfits several ti me>- per week. (aquaner sav ed on laundry is 1 3/4 resumes printed in the computer center) You can spot any number of Cling On representatives on a daiK basis and at \anous times of the day m the Computer Center We are the ones that oan he overheard asking what tew fnerxls we have lett on campus it ue nu^hl hnrn>«. iheircopv c;ird tor we /M V£.VOTmone> to put on our own card. Or we can someumes, be spotted on a ragged carpet in tioni ol uie student cafeteria begging for a morsel of the Sandwich you're hiding in your jacket.

We are found not only on campus but within the Glendale community as well. We can be found at Kinko's on Friday nights arguing for a student discount on top of that night* s already reduced copy rates. We can be found at Garria's Happy Hour eating everything in sight and ordering only a S1.25 Iced Tea simply because you can get free refills. And we can be found at any one of a number of the neighborhood SI .50 Movie theaters nibbling on that morsel of Sandwich that you current students were so generous to share with us. A $2.00 box of Raisinens cannot be justified when one is searching fora job.

The goal of this article was simply to introduce you to the MIM Degree holding candidates within your midst Stay tuned, for next week I will provide you with further insights into what it takes to be an MIM degree holding member of the Cling On organization. with...full member privileges.

stuff to Arizona State. I've practically gotten rid of everything.

When I started photography, it wasn't an art. In fact, if you called it art, you were in trouble, but now it's become a very- big art. Ansel Adams and I were good friends. Weston never did anything but 8x10 nega­ tives and 8x10 contact prints. Adams was very meticulous in the darkroom. I liked that about him. Now mainly. I make model airplanes.

I collected Kachinas for many years, since about 1964.1 didn't have a place to put them all; I had about 700 of them. 1 gave them to the Heard Museum. I wish to God I had kept them. The most 1 ever paid for a Kachina was three dollars, and now if you're looking for a good Kachina. you're looking at $5,000 to $20.000.

Local PoliticsThis State has changed very dra­

matically. When I ran for the Senate the first time, il was 6 to 1 Democrats against the Republicans. In one cour.ty it was 100 to 1 . 1 won by the grace of God. but now this State's solid Republican. In Maricopa county, it's 4 to 1. I don't like that. I don't like a one-party system. You have two parties, then you have a good opportunity to speak. I think the Republican* will damn near win everything this yea'.

Fife Symington had better get re- elected this year. I didn't think so a couple of months ago. We still have to see if he's indicted on this S&L thing; I don't know if it'll have a big effect or not. Arizonans don't like outsiders trying to tell them what to do. We' re a pretty independent bunch, and always have been. Private life in politics has as much to do with your getting elected as how well you do your job. Fife is a terrible money manager. He's absolutely broke. His mother- in-law is averyrich woman. Her fathermakes Western Cartridges, which is a good way to get rich. When te cot taxes, and made a good speech againstcriine.Ithink that helped. It's going to be a very interesting political year. Everybody's running. You just pick up a paper. You see names you've never heard of before.

Eddie Basha is gung-ho on educa­ tion, which he should be. But nobody knows

Eddie. He was born here. His family has been here for a long erne. Around here, he's known as the grocery man. but I don't think Eddie's going any place. I hate to say that, but that's the way it looks to me. He's spent a lot of his own money, over a quarter million. He's got it. He doesn't giveadamn. He'sgotahomeoutaboutZS miles from here, so full of western art, you could sell that and buy Phoenix.

Deconcini killed himself. It's too bad. He comes from a nice family: his mother's a Mormon Republican, his father's a Democrat Italian. He should have never have quit. If he wanted to get out. he should have just not run. He's a dead horse in this State.

Coppersmith is a very bright man. and very articulate. If he were better known, he would win it hands down, but he has the same trouble Basha has. He's not even well known in his own district. and that's a solid Republican district. I think he could win his seat again, if he ran for it. but he's running for the Senate I told him he went at it a little soon He should have waited another election.

In the 6th District Karen English is in trouble. Her district is rather strong Republican. The only reason she u. on ihe last rime was because the man running against her hadn'tlived in Arizona but for a couple of momhv He couldn't even spell the name .Arizona. I had to come out against him as a Republican, which was no good. He's back in town. I saw him the other night, and said hello. He said he'd worked in Washington, but he never did the things he said.

Parting Shot:As we left, the Senator had

members of his crew setting up the HAM shack to do some recordings. We thanked him for his time. He praised Trmnderbird, and told us about what General Elsenhower told him once about writing letters: "If you can't get it on one page, you haven't thought about it. Always try to keep a letter on one page." And. "work like hell, you have to."

Sharron Chou ————continued from page 1

After eight months of working in Los Angeles, Ms. Chou relocated back to Arizona to join her family. She then worked for the International Import Division of First Interstate Bank, where she mainly processed letters of credit for international trade transac­ tions.

During this time, Ms. Chou learned that the Arizona Department of Commerce wasopeninganoffice in Taipei.Taiwan. She immediately called the Director of the office in Phoenix and inquired about job opportuni­ ties. The Director asked her to come to the office to translate for a Chinese senator who was visiting the Phoenix office at that time. and afterward, Ms. Chou was hired on site.

Shortly after Ms. Chou came on board, due to the increasing volume of inter­ national trade, the Arizona Department of Commerce created a new department, the International Trade & Investment Division, to oversee promotion of trade with different regions of the world. Ms. Chou was appointed as the Asia Trade Specialist.

Ms. Chou advises that students will get the most out of Thunderbird if they com­ bine the education with their work experi­ ence. "Work experience helps you know what to learn," she said. Students who have both enjov a greater advantage in terms of getting a job on executive level. Those who do not have workexperience will need to start with entry level jobs or other training pro­ grams."

Every semester. Ms. Chou hires stu­ dent interns from Thunderbird, to assist her in the daily operation of promoting Asian trade. It enabled students to learn more about the dynamics of international trade, and provides valuable exposure to those who are interested in doing business with Asia-Pacific countries. For details of internship, consult the Career Services Internship Office.

Finally, Ms. Chou commented on the economic development of Asia in the 1990s. She said that Asian students and those who are learning Asian languages have the "best advantage" because the Asian econo­ mies are expanding rapidly. The ability to speak Mandarin becomes more and mote important in doing business with countries such as China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.

The interview ended with Ms. Chou's quotation from a speaker in an inter­ national trade conference: "Asia is the best market now-China is rising; the United States is drifting: Russia Ls sinking; Japan is chang­ ing; and Europe is faced with a lot of chal­ lenges down the road."

Long-Time Employee Bids Farewell To Thunderbird

by Mike Oakes

Lxg before most T-birds are up and moving, and about the time many of the campus night crawlers are sliming

their way home from a late night binge, one of Thunderbtrd's most loyal employees is arriv­ ing in his "6S pickup for work. By the time I caught up with Vicente Flores at 8:00 a.ra. he had been here for over four hours, looking the grounds over, washing the patios before the students goc to campus, and basically doing the behind-the-scenes maintenance thai goes unnoticed, unless you're inclined tocheck out the ;« 5 iV a.m.

He SOOT learned tc fix thea. and tes knowledge of m^iiinery^ g« hsa a job a the Cmaxm dairy south of Aastin. "I waked, and I learned," he said simply. "1 wanted to have something. It'slike what you smdenedo here. If you want to have something, you have to work for it"

Soon thereafter he got married and moved west with Ms wife. To counter his father-in-law's objections that he would never see his daughter again. Mr.Flores promised to return to Texas every year to visit. "And we did." Viceatesaid. "Everyyear.unulhedied. we went back to Texas."

Eventually Vicente, his wife and their ei^« kids settled here in Arizona, and he began work as a groundskeeper at Thunder- bird on September 13, 1971, "twelve days after Dr. Voris started as President," Vicente pointed out "He had some good parties over there on campus back then." Unfortunately he didn't go into detail on mis little tidbit

"This place is good for work," he emphasized. "A piece of cake."

"I'm my own boss. Nobody tells me what to do. 1 know what I have to do. and I do it."

Vicente's children are all grown tip now. though most of them have stayed in the area. "I have one son." Vicente said, "he's in the army now, in Kentucky. He left home when he was 19...I tried to tel! him not to. but he didn't want to listen...you know."

"When I talked to him later, he said 'Daddy, you were nghi"~

"'Well.' 1 told him. 'you've got a 01 ffereni DaJu> no*. and you have to listen to him. Different brothers too."

"I'm just about through the gate, now," Vicente sad. referring to his upcoming retirement. "I decided it was ome to take it kind of easy."

"I don't want it. but they're going to give me a party." be said with a smile on his face.

He left me with a few good words of wisdom concerning the Arizona summers.

"People say, 'Vicente. you must be crazy, outside every day in long sleeves and pants." Well, the trick for the heat, you see. is to stay outside all the time. People >tay in%idc in the air conditioning all day...when you go outrromin,it'slikeyouwalkintothefine. It's better to take it a little at a time. That's what I do"

Of course Vicente also wakes up at 3:00 ajn. every day.

From everyone at Thunder- bird, thanks for the years. Happy retirement!

In a cootiatiing effort to help stu­ dents with these and related career issues, the Graduate Associate Pro<j3m(GAP) has locked off the Fall round of workshops and peer counselling sessions.

GAP was instituted in 1984 to serve as the primary liaison between the saxfcnt body and the Career Services Center (CSO. CAP is composed of sU students: two in their third semester, two in the second and two in their first. Their responsibilities include pre­ senting CSC sponsored workshops on career development, resume writing, interviewing and other related topics. Additionally, they are available for peer counselling sessions oo career-related issues. This semester we have two new irembers. Valeric del Perugia and Martin Dong. They join the third semester graduate associates Heather Leonard and Rick Bisio and Mark Major and Fernando Farre in their second semester.

Heather Leonard is a third semester GA. Heather comes from New York where she uorkeu for Chase Manhattan Bank for three and one half years. Heather entered Chase's Management Development program after graduating from Boston College. While at Chase. Heather held several positions in marketing and sales.

Rick Bisio is also in his third semes­ ter. Upon graduating from the Simon Busi­ ness School at Washington University in St. Louis, he was employed by Monsanto Agri­ cultural Company as a sales representative. After several years developing sales skills, he started a manufacturers representative corpo­ ration which he operated for several years. Upon selling his company. Rick accepted a position with a Japanese company asaleacher of negotiation, presentation and cross-cul­ tural courses and as a consultant to the Osaka head office.

Success re­ quires resolution resolution comes with commitment and understanding This is a very valuable learning experience. To transfer new skills and iisg them in the real world it is necessary to know that they will work. On the Executive Edge program, new skills are not only theorized they are applied, improved on and applied again.

tfv Werui\ Vejlupek

If you didn't get a chance to visit Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument last weekend, let me suggest a more convenient, close to home, camping arrangement for busy T birds, which I experienced firsthand the last two weeks of Fall semester. 'Balcony camp­ ing' gives those who just can't get away or who do not have cars a chance to experience ihe grea! outdoors. Armed with a borrowed sleeping bag and air mattress. I camped out se\ era! nights after owing into a semi-unfur­ nished apartment <empty except fora bor­ rowed knchen chain Sun Creek tamping was actually a lot of tun. re fresh me and sur­ prisingly peaceful with the exception of ob­ scenely early leaf blowers on Monday mom- ings I highly recommend it as a perspective restoration device. Those willing to goa little further from home, on the other hand, will enjoy camping among the saguaros nearTuc- son.

Saguaro National Monument is con­ veniently central for exploring the Anzona- Sonora Desert Museum, tourin? the old we« movie set. Old Tucson Studios, or hiking up to rumored ancient rock drawings near Painted

Rocks, it's also a great place to camp if you want to hang out in Tucson and need a cheap place to stay. Major nearby attractions in­ clude the mission at San Xavier del Bac, Sabino Canyon and Gentle Ben's Brewing Company located near U of A. which boasts seven local mircobrews on tap.

The visitors center at Saguaro Nat'1 Monument was being redone when I was therelast. Theycangiveyouinfoonhikesand mountain bike trails. They can also fill you with interesting and amazing factoids about samaros (how many tons they weigh and how

ancient they are). Along the scenic drive through the park there are many spots to puii off the road and standin uue nl (lie view. Great dcsc-rt photo op­ portunities abound. The park i s an amazi ng forest of saguaro cac­ tus which are protected there. (Saugaro cactus are the ones drawn in the comic strip Peanuts when Snoopy is in the desert). We found out

about the rock paintings from the cashier at the convenience store in fainted Rocks (a thri ving metropolis north of the park before you get to Cortaro). The Desert Museum is a must in indigenous Sonoran desert education with 200 live species of animals and 1,200 types of plants. OldTucsonhastouristyliveshowsand

At thedoseof my first semester {FaU *92), I wrote a sophomoric Letter to the Editor admonishing fellow Thirds tot owsine qua rum should be at the vary least to acknowledge one another. That fall, students seemed very discontent, for a number of reasons.

Looking back, it seems some of them overlooked one of the greatest strengths Thunderbird has to offer the great diversity of people. In a way. our differences make us alike, and through our interaction with one other, we learn from one another, and learn to respect one another, even though our opinions may be diametrically opposed.

Have you ever been to a funeral for one of (he matriarchs or patriarchs of your family where you heard membersof the following generation say: "Well, i guess we're the old folks now."? That's the way it feels to have that" Y" indicating that you've fulfilled all the requirements for graduation. As you see graduation moving inexorably closer, 1st and 2nd semester students look at you and ask "Was it worth it?"

Last year, I profiled Professor Paul Kinsinger, our CIA Officer-in-Resi- dence. His advice was: "To get the most oat of an educational experience, particu­ larly this rare program, look for ways to challenge yourselves... to grow intellec­ tually while you have die opportunity". The value you get from die time you spend here is directly proportional to the

Contact Gladys Heiser at ext 7224 for any additional information you may need con­ cerning tilts matter.

To the Editor,Well, you can chalk one up

for the bad pys! At lunch today I was very unpleasantly surprised 10 find that the usual Wednesday fere of "Mexi­ can" food was no longer available. In response to my queries the dining hall staff replied that the complaints had been overwhelming and that they were merely responding to popular demand. Whether overwhelming means 10 or 100 complaints, I don't know.

My complaint is not with Alice or the rest of the dining hall staff. but with the whining individuals who complained about the one day thai was a little out of the ordinary. I looked forward to Wednesdays, as did many other people, not so much because the food was authentic or even exception­ ally good, but because Wednesdays were different.

I have heard grumblings about inequality ofWednesday's lunch menu, but rather than complain, why weren't recipe suggestions offered in­ stead? Better yet. eat at the Crossroads or have a salad and sandwich when the offering is not to your liking. I resorted to that myself today. As for authentic­ ity - German meatloaf? Swedish meat­ balls? And how about that pasta bar?

The dining hall staff does a pretty good job of satisfying a diverse group of students with varying tastes. If this becomes a trend we will be down to plain oatmeal and unflavored yogurt in no time. I live on campus and I am forced to eat at feast 10 meals a week in the dining hall. It was nice to b»ve at least one meal thai was differ­ ent from all the others.

To the Editor,

The 59th Avenue street project is on schedule and should be completed by the endof May this year. Although the traffic light hardware will be installed, it is not anticipated that it will be in operation until near the project's end, perhaps in mid-May.

This street improvement will enhance Thunderbird property as well as improve traffic flow to and from the campus.

Jim Smoteky. Director Facilities, Services

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to the letter from Abdi in Das Tor two weeks ago. As a first semester student I haven't been totally aware of the recent "his­ tory" oftheASLC. When reading Mr. Abdi's letter, however. I was immedi­ ately stricken by the defensive tone of the letter. I felt (and still do) that this type of response was out of character with my perception of how the president of student government at a school of this caliber should behave. Because Mr. Abdi's response seemed so peculiar to me. I decided to look into the matter.

1 found out that each of the issues that Mr. Abdi addressed in his letter were initiated by previous administrations. Although it is traditional for politicians toartempttotake credit for otherpeople's initiatives, I didn't expect to see this at Thunderbird. I won't bother to list each particular issue because they have all been covered so well by Mr. Abdi and Mr. Janssen.

I was particularly concerned with the final paragraph of Mr. Abdi's letter. While it is certainly the student govern­ ment prcsktem'sjob to "address student concerns", the editorial page of the stu­ dent newspaper is die appropriate place to voice those concerns. Nr. Abdi's wish that Mr.Janssen come to him in the future with "issues that are of concern to" him, sounds like a thinly veiled attempt to control negative press.

Mr. Abdi needs to understand that when someone takes a political posi­ tion, his tenure will be judged by his effectiveness in accomplishing signifi­ cant goals, not in how much negative public opinion he can suppress. If what I have seen and heard concerning the current ASLC administration is accu­ rate, student government at Thunder-

bird is fast becoming a joke. If all tins bureaucrat can find to keep himself busy is something as irrelevant as a name change for student government, I feel betrayed by the former and current students who may or may not have participated in the last election. Their legacy has thus far been disappointing.

Under these circumsances, I would like to pose just one question to Mr. Abdi. Is their any way I can get myS75 back?

Philip Smith

To the Editor,

I am writing to share some of the remark1; that f heard while meeting with members of the accreditation team. For those of you who missed out or did not know about what was going on, let me give you a brief synopsis.

Last week, for two days, we had on campus three members of the accreditation team. The purpose of their visit was to evaluate our school and make recommendations as to whether or not we should be accredited. Inter­ views were set between membersof die tearfl, student leaders and randomly se­ lected stiKfcnts. These were all formal interviews. 1T»ey also conducted infor­ mal interviews with students whom diey encountered at random and their con­ clusions about our student body were the following:

Thunderbird students came across as very intelligent, and in their words were of superior quality. They also said that we were great sales people from die way we spoke of our school. Special thanks to Laura Burpee for her effort with the team.

Lastly, I want everybody to know that the team highly recommends that we get accredited. The official deci­ sion about that will occur in April. ABDI ASLC President

Cicneruliv there ,ire ifirtr

A. ) ,4cton - those who make thmu-. hapjvn.

B.) Spectators - those who watch things happen, and

C.) Slumps - those who neither aci nor spectate; a bit like Fabnce in Stendhal's Chartreuse deParjrg- he saw Wellington defeat Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, but didn't realize "what happened."

Most Tbiids are type A's, so we are all actors to varying degrees. Although, there is an argument that by not acting, you are still acting. But, how much talent does it take to act like a stump?

Regarding group members in particular, there are three types of group members, and any actor can be any type. Thisis known as Gorki's Lead. Follow, or get- out-of-the-way model:

A. The Leaden leads situation analyses, goal formulation, skill assessment, repartition of tasks, etc.

Leaders can be broken down into three qualifiable categories: ! . :hf gf.tr honest. cie<ui, brave, reverent, truthful, kind, open-minded.

intelligent; doesn't waste time in interminable group meetings: asks "What are we doing here? What are we trying to achieve?" over and over like a mantra. Most likely to make straight A's, stay at Thunderbird for three semesters (and a Winterim). participate in ASLC or Qub activities, and be very adept at credit-claiming and blame- shirking.

2. the Next Be$r - not as reverent and intelligent as the Best, but nice. In the real world, you'd say "dumb but nice": at Thunderbird, you'd say "relative!* dumb hui nice." In Advanced Corporate Finance, this translates into "I'll do anything you want: I just can't do finance. I don't know finance. Let's go Salsa- Merengue." Know^ anything over a B is wasted effort. Most likely to have six figure position before graduation, or start own company and be a millionaire within two years

3. l/fc Wvrtt - diametrically opposed to the be-->i. The Czar (Caesar, Kaixrr)is the self-stvted expert on die subject at hand Most likely to make others feel stupid, facilitating lurking insecurities in the most self-confident. Demonstrates loyalty upwaid but not downward. DEPTH PERCEPTION.

B. The Follower (Indian, wotkabee): completes assigned tasks with modicum of quality on time. If wotkabee doesn't get along with the Leader, is most likely to ask "What am I doing here?", and rip hair out Usually graduates in three semesters, and sticks around, joins Kling-Ondub a month or two doconductjob search. Indians are«shc«supply,leadingtoaiashof^oo-many-diiefe,not-enough- indians, too-many-cooks-spoil-the-broth" jokes,

Indians can be broken down into two qualifiable categories:I. GoodZBad

C. Those who should get out of the way: (self-explanatory).

TheCzar, or worst leader, is the nx>st interesting phenomenon. The Czar is analogous to the slave-boy in Plato'sBasMc. to whom Socrates (through irispatented metbod) illustrates mat twoplus two isequal to four.notfive, as the slave-boy originaHy thought The allegory is that the worst kind of ignorance occurs when you drink you're ri^butyoua«,inac«ialfeawrong.LikeJeny-JeffsH^it:WRROOONNGG! It's the proverbial "too blind to see" problem. It gave Oedipus a complex.

ft is impossible to get along with the Czar. Recognize the risk of public castigation if you admit "Gee, I am sorry, I goofed I was wrong." The Czar's chaacteristic riposte is invariably. "I hope you realize how wrong you were. Let this be a lesson to you." Ouch.
