For Student Activities Coordinator

By Dana Le\yh'sareliefto see my picture

in the paper without having had to be involved in any kind of trouble. Hi! My name is Dana and I'm campaigning f<v the office of Stu

On a serious note. I'm hardworking, dedicated and expe­ rienced at planning campus-wide activities .such as orientation and homecoming during both my un­ dergraduate and previous graduate studies.

But on a more important lighter note, social programming is my feme. I think after all of you study like maniacs all week, you should have someone to count on to help make your weekends and your campus social events just a link more crazy. I'm flexible and creative and I know how to maxi­ mize the fun quotient.

For Student Activities Coordinator

By Jesus CatfilloSince 1 started studying at

AGSIM. I have been involved in several student activities. During my first semester.

At the end of las! semester, the club presidents elected me as the president of the Club Council fortheSummerterm. As president of the Club Council. 1 organized Qub Day. I am also in charge of coordinating the re lationshetwecn the clubs and the ASLC. such is activity budgets and publicity of the clubs in Thunderbolt and Ba$ Or. I also implemented the Ac­ tivity Calendar at ASLC. which has been very useful to coordinate all the student activities.

For Vice President

nationality. We become citizens of the world A world of speed and competi­ tiveness where efficiency^ and accu­ racy are key. During my six month term as your Vice President. I know I can make long-term planning the bot- tomlineforthe ASLC, andmake things happen in the future. We will be here

for three, four, or five semesters, but Thunderbird will remain and its evolution will be based upon student involvement

During my seven years experience, working in the development of construction projects, I have learned to solve problems through gathering people from different professions, exerting moderating functions, and leading teams toward a common objective. I will support the ASLC President's agenda about the strengthening of faculty evaluations, and updated information about the construction and design of new facilities.

Our success will depend on how well we can prepare and design the platform for more participative channels, better integration among the Thunderbird community, and a constant commitment to excellence. The difficulty is not in becoming a leader, but how to retain the leadership.

Foreign Fax From Helsinki

ByJeffWhimeyIt's hard to believe, but it happened last week:

Wayne's World arrived in Helsinki to much fanfare, tog lines, and general audience hysteria The hard-to-believe pan is that it tad two lines of bravely-attempted subtitling below each frame. As Finland is officially bilingual. Finnish and Swedish translations of'Party on. Garth !"and "If you want to hurt. I say hurl," as well as most of tlte movie, were rendered in what our local friends said were pretty close approximations- NOT! iThe editor wisely chosetoavoid trying to interpret "Schwing!") Suffice it to say. the drunk trains (any of the last few local trains out of the center, departing at 2:30. 2:35. and 2:42 am) had numerous passengers repeating lines from the movie, or performing some of the actions (yet another euphemism).

In the bigger picture, it was interesting to note how man) of the mostly Finnish, under 30 audience picked up on all the references 10 what we thought were really American concepts. Everyone whistled the Star Trek tune, caught the lawyers/contracts jokes and the blatant product advertising, and recognized the star of Married mih Children running the all night diner. It seems much of what foreigners, at least young foreigners, know about America is derived from consumer goods. TV programs. and movies. I didn't realize we were in that much trouble.

Speaking of trouble, the last tests and papers for this term are today - and so goes by another group of courses. For many of us. this is the gateway to enjoying the rest of the summer, the reason we came here in the first place. Most of us in this group will be visiting what was the USSR (it'seasierto write than totrytokeep up with what it isnow) to see Thirds and others there, and to see what it is in the proco-' of becoming. Others have another course to complete, then return to AGSM in time for used book purchasing and the start of the Fall semester. A few will stay on through the next few months: these are the folks who really know how to budget their beer money! For another group, this is the end. They've amassed enough knowledge to go back out into the world and try to make sense of it all. Good luck - and soy in touch!

How To Use Overheads

B\ Tony Mr.* >s Editor In Chief It's the end of the term and

you're burned crispv around the edges. You've had a long, hot summer and with ten exams, seven group reports and twenty-three presentationsyou've jast about hadenough. Tonight is the night before the Presentation From He!) and aJl of your group members wear looks that could maim and muti­ late. Your final mission: do the overheiidv

It sounds Mirtple in theory.just put some numbers ;ind ideas upon the " Green, tlirow, in some graphs and away you go. .\'<n. Overheads are one thing that can really make or break a presentation and there are definitely some do> and don'ts when it comes to design, presentation, and usage. The tumjvMMj: U}N were drawn rrorn a course on Business Communication offered through the Harvard Exten­ sion Program.

The first and most important rule to remember is KISS. Keep It Straight and Simple. The rule of thumb is one idea per overhead. By- using one idea you will not nsk con­ fusing y our audience as to what topic you are addressing. Furthermore, if you have more than one idea, most people will start reading the overhead and try to figure out where you are com:: before _sou::ci tlicrc. Thisdnjv* s their attention away from what y ou are trying to present and that isalwaysbad news.

Second forgetnumbers. Ifthere is more than one number on your overhead tfien the minds and sprints of your hapless audience will shut down. There is nothing more mind- numbing than a series of digits on a screen If you need to show a trend or a comparison then use graphics. Pie chansand 3-D bar graphs are wonders of the technological age and they will fit your nod.

The most common sin of all is print size. Do not use standard type race and point size for your overhead If it cannot be read by your slouching colleagues in the back row, then it's useless. The best way to guage if your overhead is readable is to print it out. havea fiiend standabout Mfeetaway andholditup. If you can read it go for it. If not, make it bigger.

Do not read the overhead You should be prepared enough that you only need to glance at the overhead or canuseapoimer. Also, you should not break eye-contact with the audience for the extended period of rime that reading an overhead requires. The overhead should be your supplement, not a crutch or replacement for ad­ equate preparation.

Another suggestion is to turn the machine off when you are not using it or during periods when you are expostulating and not changing overheads. By turning off the ma­ chine you reduce the overall noise level in the room and this helps people hear you. Furthermore, if the over­ head is off the audience will tend to focus on you rather than sore at an unchanging screen.

CommentaryA Question of Editing

By Louis MendesThe July 20 article concerning the sponsorship of the Tibetan Zaxi-LugeArt

Troupe presents all of us with an example of how powerful and potentially abusive the power of the press can be. Freedom of speech Is one of the most sacred rights we have as US citizens: to abuse that privilege is to mock these very principles. Whether the intentions of the Sis' Creditor were malicious or not is moot. What is important to note is that an abuse of editorial power was committed.

The article of July 20 was submitted as an editorial of one person's opinion of theTibet/China relationship. Insteadof printing this viewpoint as an editorial, the editor chose to present it as an article of fact. By selecting a provocative headline, the theme of the editorial was changed toemphasize the China Quh/ASLC sponsorship, a point not intended by the writer. These actions resulted in students believing that the information in the article had been verified as to its accuracy. In fact. neither the ASLC nor the China dub had been contacted regarding the factsabout the performance. As aresult several false rumors were created which I would now like toclarify to the student body:

Runu>r#l: neiKrfanntn. werenoiTibeian.Ahuiluieh'Fake.' AsCo-spoasors of the performance, we were able to spend numerous hours before, during and after the show-with each of the performers. They were all native Tibetans and their families had lived in Tibet for countless centuries.

Runwr #2'. Pwt'rt/i of the .s/;<m were xoini; tt> supjxm the PRC. Ahvilmek /i/Af .'The entire program w us organized over the past three months by the China Huh and the local Chinese community. Any proceeds over the cost of the show-were to be donated to a local community chanty in .Arizona. In fact, the local Tibetan community turned out in support of the performance 1

Rumor #3: Hie slxw was nothing hu: propaganda. Absolutely Ftilsc! The performers in the show deserve better treatment than to be labelled propagandists. To them, this tour represents not only a chance to leave their oppression at home, but also a chance to make the world aware that Tibetan culture still exists. Their not so subtle choice of £t/e-/H«.was an impromptu addition to their performance highlights that these people do care about their homeland Who are we to judge them propagandists?!

If the SOS Creditor had taken the effort to spend five minutes asking for information about the show from those who were sponsoring it, he probably would not have had as sensational an article, but he would have had the truth. Such sensationalism is arremrMrrassrnertt not only to the integrity of the founders of SOS 1Tor. hut also to all the students and alumni of Thunderbird. I hope this episode serves as a lesson to all of us how important quality editing Is to a newspaper and the responsibility we all ha\ e to preserving the integrity of our right to free speech.

Louis Mendes.Timothy Geraghry. jin Yaa York Lin. Kyle Lowe.. and the numerous other Thirds who have expressed their concern over this style of sensation­ alism.

There comes a time when somuch innuendo, falsehood and hear­ say Is flying around that an Editor is forced to respond For those of you who have heard of or been follow­ ing the "debate" over the article printed in the July 20 issue of Bos Cor about the Zaxi-Luge Dance Troupe, you w ill be aware of w hat has been transpiri ng. This commen­ tary is written partly in response to statements I have heard and partly i n response to Mr Mendes" charges in the accompanying Commentary this week.

Restaurant Review: The Golden PalaceBy ihe Educated Pal alesEver have that urge to eat something other than microwave muckamuck

and cafeteria chow but don't know where to get it ? Looking for that added spice in your Be in greaer Phoenix? Little did you know that good food Ls lurking in those omnipresent strip maUs. Little did uv know that one could find such good authentic Indian cuisine in our beloved Glendate.

The family-owned Golden Palace opened last February. Owned by the young Punjabi from Nakodar, Preet Pal (who, unsolicited, divulged he was 24 andsingje) and Ms brother, the restaurant serves up a variety of Northern Indian cuisine dot refutes the popular misconception that all Indian food is just curry. Preetandliiseager-to-pleaserjativestaffemphasra file cleanliness of their intimate restaurant.

The feasl opened with an incendiary green-mint chutney that made you leave all thoughts of the summer heat behind and dive for the papadum. a thin, crisp lentil bread speckled with Hack pepper and coriander. Next came a tasty traditional tandoori chicken, marinated overnight in yogurt and mild spices and

cooked over charcoal in the special Clay Oven imported from India, no less. More poultry to come chicken tikka. a similarly prepared but less spicy laiuloori dish, as well as chicken biryani prepared with aromatic basmati rice. nuts and spices. Vegetable korma and ra'aa cooled our palates and comple­ mented the evening's masala Much to our surprise, the highlight of our more than generous dinner was Bengal bluinha. a dish where eggplant that misun­ derstood vegetable, is literally roasted to a pulp then seasoned with herbs and spices. It alone is worth the trip. Lei out that waist band a notch because you cannot resist the temptation to finish offyour dining experience with kheer, the Indian-style rice pudding.

fact: the facts about what the PRC has done and is doing to Tibet as has been substantiated by Amnesty In­ ternational and the Dalai Lama Thus, given the importance and timeliness of Mr Bell's material it was placed on the front page. SOS Car left it to the intelligent. weD- educated student body to draw its own conclusions about the material presented. I think Mr Mendes in­ sults T birds hy assuming that they are incapable of discerning which parts were opinion and which parts were fact.

As for the claim tha! the Edi­ tor somehov. created "several false rumors" by the printing of Mr Bell's material, thistoois ludicrous. In the first place. SosCar does not create lunurs. readers do. if someone reads material in SOS br and makes incorrect assumptions about it that is hardly the fault of the Editor. Mr Mendes points out that the Tibetan Troupe was composed of Tibetans. That's fine. Mr Bdl never said or even hinted otherwise in his article. As for the claim thai the show was absolutely not propa­ ganda isn't that up to the readers to decide0 Mr Bell said it is. Mr Mendes said it Isn't. That's what free speech is jJI about .And if the proceeds w ere to go to charity, why was this fact not displayed on the posters for the event? And why did the ASLC the co-sponsors of the event, not know about it?

As Is my and DOS br 5 policy, space has been provided for Mr Mendes" counterpoint to Mr Bell's article. However, instead of attacking the article on its merits. Mr Mendes brings in iwn xquitur and irrelevant arguments and com­ pletely avoids debating the issue of China's annexation and suppres­ sion of Tibet. He attacks editorial policy which Is the purview of the staff. As Is the case in all free presses. If Mr Mendes wants a press that kowtows to the beliefs andopinionsofevery interest group on campus, then what he wants is not free press. What he wants is something which belongs in a con­ trolled society and that Is not what i*»S br. the open forum for de­ bate at Thunderbird stands for.

Letters To The EditorTo the Editor:About a month ago I wrote a letter to Alia

Koenig, Assistant Food Service Director, regard­ ing some suggested changes to the cafeteria's selection. Many of you already know what mine said, because you were forced to sign it. but for those of you whom I let off the hook, the letter addressed these things:

a) low-cal salad dressing and more veg­ etables and fruit

c) pasta as an alternative entree more than once a week

am the one who has taken so long to get her letter in print. My apologies. Almost everything asked for was given. You may have noticed some of the changes already. The folks there really do * am io makeushappy. All you have todo is let them know your wants and desires (within reason, of course). And if you will allow me to stand on my soapbox for a moment, this is just one more piece of evidence that tetter writing activism does work. Be heard!

Joanna ArmstrongEditor '.v Note: The folio* ing is a copy of the

lener Alice Koenig sent in Joanna on July V. Dear Joanna and Concerned Students. Thank you tor taking the nme to let us know

some of your concerns regarding the Food Service Department. We are very interested in providing what the students want as long as these suggestions are feasible as well as cost effective.

On the salad bar you will find chick peas or kidney beans available at each meal. Spinach and

peppers will be rotated along with the other raw vegetables. Ixw-cal Italian. French, and Ranch dressing have been ordered and they will be avail­ able as soon as our present stock of dressings has been used. We will offer a fruit bar at branch and we will begin offenng a variety of fruit at other meals rather than a fruii of the day.

The pasta bar will return Monday through Friday at lunch and dinner. Cookies will be avail­ able on the dessert bar at some meals.

The need for an alternate meal plan is appar­ ent and several options are being considered at this time. A decision on what type of plans will be available will be made before the end of the sum­ mer semester. Students will be notified when this decision has been made.

At one time we did have music in the Dining Hall but the speakers and equipment have been removed. We have found that people in general have very different tastes in types of music as well as acceptable volumes.

If you would like to return at Brunch on Saturday and Sunday please check with supervisor on your second rip for admittance. We have notified our serving team to monitor their servings and they will try to respect your wishes for small servings. Please remind us so that we can serve what you want as efficiently is possible,

In the fall we will have cups available with the school logo. Any beverage leaving the Dining Hall must be in these cups. They will boldeitherhot or cold beverages and may be used throughout your stay at Thunderbird and will serve as a souvenir when you leave.

Again we would lifcc to ttenk you for your concerns about the Dining Hall. Good luck with your studies.

To The EditorTheZaxi-Luge Dancing and Singing Group

from Tibet. People's Republic of China, success- Mlyperformed in Phoenix on Thursday nJghUuly 22and left the IKXI day on Friday. Chinaaub.along with ASLC one of the main sponsors of this activity, were very satisfied with die successful turnout for this event. About 100 students in Thunderbird showed up. Many people enjoyed the performance very much.

Although the Zaxi-Luge Group has left, it seems the presence of the group is still evident in Thunderbird. All these arguments are from Mr David Bell's article. Beinganative Chinese. I don't blame Mr David Bell an American, who doesn't know much about the history and present situation of china and Tibet to write such an article which is rull of misunderstanding and bias opinions. But I was surprised by die attitude of && Gfa Some- body claimed himselftobe at the point office press. Did he bother to ask the truth of free opinion. I felt Z3tof«rarditsEditorinaikfliasastrongdiscriini- nation and racism toward china and Chinese stu­ dents here on campus.

minorities in China and every minority has enjoyed a freedom of keeping their own religion, language and customs. In fact the Chinese government gives theses minorities more preference over Han people. They have the right to have two children even under China's stria birth control policy. For any people who have been to China could understand how it is important for China to have a strict policy on popu­ lation.

One funny thing is that the people from the western countries wanted to fiid a Shangri-La in Tibet. What did they expect to see? A land which Ls not invaded by western civilization? A land which is full of horses, sheep and happy, healthy people. Do they know that before Chinese government liberal­ ized Tibet in 1959, Tibet wasaslave society? If this was the Shangri-la those people wanted to see, I'm afraid, they should be disappointed now.

For all the rumors in Thunderbird this week, rmpleasedtoseepeopleareknowingwhowaslying after they watched the show. And for some people who refused to go to die performance and who refused to know the truth, I wonder how could they tell the public what's wrong and what's right
