American Graduate School of International Management

Volume XXVIII no 1 Glendale, Arizona Septembers, 1988

WelcomeI would like to personally welcome new students to

the American Graduate School of InternationalManagement. This is a unique institution, as you will soon find out. One docs not come to Thundcrbird for a typical business school MBA-typc program. You arc going to find yourselves in an international environment where fellow students and faculty members have strong international interests and experience.

Much of what you will learn here will occur outside the classroom, because we stress informal contacts at school social functions, in the dormitories, the dining hall, coffee shop and at the Pub.

jGeuing a master's degree here Is a great challenge. Successful students are those who approach the school in a positive manner, who accept the school for what it is, and who devote themselves to hard work. I assure you that the rewards, both tangible and intangible are great

Fall Interad Teams Under Way

Alumni Interview: Rodnev TavlorRodney Taylor, 75, was the guest speaker at this semester's opening ceremonies. While in town, he was one of five former RSLC Presidents who met to begin the formation of a Presidents' association, consisting of all past HSLC

On Monday, August 29lh at the first INTERAD session. Professor Sumncr Wyman announced the four teams that will be competing, this year in INTERAD I"'It *88. Once again, four major corporations have hired INTERAD TEAMS to develop a complete marketing, advertising and promotional campaign for their product in a specific country. Scagrams International has hired a team to introduce their rum products in Japan. The Timkcn Company, a world famous ball bearing manufacturer, has requested a plan for future operations in Argentina. General Foods is looking to an INTERAD team to see how they should market their shelf stable microwave dinners, one of todays' fastest growing package foods, in die United Kingdom. And finally, Eastman Kodak has hired an INTERAD icaro to mtrodiice their

Sosea management consulting firm that analyzes, among other things, growth strategies for regional companies, reorganizations and restructuring, the access of foreign capital, ana political fundraising. ft transcript of his speech is available from the Das Tor office.

DT: First of all, what kinds of problems were present in 1975 that are still problems today for the school?

Mr. Taylor: The problem that existed then and still exists now, the more fundamental problem, is the lack of sufficient or adequate resources tocomplete the school's mission. Those resourcesappear to me to be much more obtainable tc^ythari they were in'75. The administration and the faculty have done, in hindsight, an admirable job of putting the school in a marketable position to those who might want to give money or endowments or extemship and internship opportunities.

DT: Eto you feel that the purpose of Thunderbird in the business world has changed from what it was in'75?

Mr. Taylor: The purpose of the school? No. It shouldn't have. I've been told that there is some talk of making this yet another MB A. I think that would be a terrible mistake. The success of the school is a result of a group of people, just following the Second World War, having the courage to implement a vision. No such educational institution existed then. Somebody had to come up with a concept and create an institution from ground zero, and I don't think, at that time, they were mod^h^g this school on any r^eced^KXlhat existed at the time. I think it was an invention. It was a creation. It was an inspiration and an innovation, and over the years, the success of this institution has inspired other better-endowed schools to try to emulate this success. But what we have to be careful of is that we don't try to emulate them just because they appear to have done what we did better to some instances. If we feel that others have done agood job of doing what we've done, then maybe it's time to re-focus on what made it work in the first place, which is being creative and innovauve and looking for the step beyond. I just don'tthinkit'sagood idea to try tomake this anNIBA school, yetanother MBA school.Ithink

:tt)tovethisbalancedcuniculumhereisthestrengthoftheprogram. Matter offact,Iknow this is true. Forthe first five years I was out of here, I had a hard time getting credibility with the job market, not the job market so much, but you know, in those circles where one has to talk about what my degree is and where I went to school For the first five or six years, it was kind of tough, because you felt a little bit strange for not having the MBA like everybody else sitting at the table in the corporate lunchroom or whatever.

But, now, 15 years after, such that it's more the track record of professional experience that counts than the degree, the MM [is unique and useful]. There are so many MBA's now that everybody has kind of got the attitude, "Oh, another MBA, okay. Which one of the 25,000 institutions offering an MBA did you go JO?" So, who the hell wants to be vanilla, why not be strawberry? I think it's good to be a little different and almte unique. You know, another thing I believe: it is inevitable that [in] the world, the one world idea, which is,!think,what this school has to be based on, the global marketplace, it'snot going to be the American definition of capitalism exclusively. Therehappentobebillionsofpeopleouttherewhoarecommunists. AndGodknows, Idon'tintend to check in any alternate economic ideology, but the fact is, we cannothaveour curriculum become astrictly capitalistic, our version of the command economy, etc. By having this international studies curriculum blended into UK world business curriculum, you give this experience this academic experience here a great deal of flexibility.

For most of us who have begun to think about a future after Thundcrbird, more specificaDy, the job opportunities and the means by which we will repay our loans, networking with alumni in the "real workT has become a byword. The mystic of almost any school, especially Thunderbird, is not found in the buildings or the ornamental orange trees on campus, but rather in the friendships formed here and the guild of Thunderbird graduates throughout the world that one joins after leaving here.

This guild not only establishes the school's reputation within the international business community, but also can be a new graduate's best lead and job contact within that community. This is what networking is all about using these contacts to gain an insider's advantage.

The Alumni Relations Department at Thunderbird tries to strengthen the alumni network by fostering contact among alumni and students. Several different types of alumni directories and lists arc available to students by the Alumni Relations Department. However, at their request, the Alumni Relations Department protects the privacy of the alumni. These lists are not designed to allow students to tele-search through the last 40 years of Thunderbird graduates for a job. In the not so distant past, "dialing for a job" has mysteriously resulted in some alumni severing their lies with the

; Alumni Association andThunderbird.

There are two types ofalumni lists available to current students at the Alumni Relations Department: alumni groups and chapter lists, and master lists, which sort alumni either geographically or by employer. Copies of the alumni groups and chapter lists can be obtained for 10 cents a page, which covers the duplicating costs. The master lists are available for review by students, but current students may receive only one address and/ or telephone number of a designated contact per month. Often times only the address is available to students at the alumni's request, but some alumni volunteers also list a phone number for student contact. The Alumni

There are currently 2597 domestic listings and 619 foreign listings by geographical region and alphabetical order and also include job titles.

There are also lists of regional alumni chapters, where they meet, a contact person or chapter president, regional "Welcome Wagon" contacts, and Thunderbird alumni leaders throughout the world. There are 33 domestic and 17 overseas local alumni gatherings the first Tuesday ofcachmqrirj]. The "First Tuesday" list includes the address and meeting time of each chapter and include a contact person and telephone number for more information. Six domestic chapters have also formed Career Assistance Committees to help T-birds in their area develop business contacts and job opportunities. The Career Assistance Committee list describes the various chapter career committees and includes the committee chairperson's or contact person's name, address and telephone number.

For Thunderbirds moving into a new area and wishing to meet other Thunderbird graduates there is a Thunderbird contacts list, Thunderbird's version of the "Welcome Wagon". This includes the name, address and job title of contacts in die United States and overseas who have volunteered to serve as resource people for alumni or students who are visiting or relocating to a new area.

There is also an Alumni Leader Listing. This is a list of 348 currently active alumni leaders throughout the world. This lists alumni according to geographical location and alphabetical order and includes addresses and job titles. Many of these contacts are also included in the Volunteer

The Master Lists are also available for students to review. This lists all known Thundcrbird alumni by geographica! region and by employment. Alumni addresses or telephone numbers are not included, but if the alumnus has released an address or telephone number, this information can be requested from the Alumni Relations Department. The Alumni Relations Department encourages Muucub to write toalumni that they would like information from, but not to call. In the past the network has been damaged by students who have mass mailed job searches to alumni or telephoned alumni inconsiderately. Most alumni arc helpful, but do not want to be made responsible for finding new graduates jobs or becoming career counselors without a choice.

Goon.Goon,ask.Asknie what I <lid over my summer vacation. Listen, arc you going to ask or do I ha veto turn off your air conditioning? Ahhh, I thought that would do itI have just returned (my toothpaste is still frozen) from vacation. Having two weeks free of academia, and after lounging by the pool and catching up on sleep, food, and otto luxuries unavailable daring fte semester, a fiiend of mine and myself decided to escape. FromTBird. From Gfendale. From Arizona.

We visited our local travel consultant at Rawhide (the official TBird travel agent) for suggestions as to how far we could go (geographically speaking of course) considering our financial ami time constraints. Vegas was filled, so we opted for a package trip to Disneyland, where for a relatively low price one gets round trip airfare (on an airline with free booze), lodging (in a hotel with lisle signs asking you set to sea! things (note: I stole the little signs)), a rental car (with a lawn mower engine that overheats at 75 degrees), and four days of "fun". What did we do for our four days? I'm so glad you asked...

Day One. With mote than justa little bitof difficulty, wearose at a ver obnoxious hour to ensure our arrival at Sky Harbor ImenufonalAirpoftintiineforour 6a.m. flight to Los Angeles. Please note dm the hardest pan is not getting yourself and your traveling companion jump started at this hour, but convincing a close friend that she really wants to get up at this hour to drive the two of you to the airport Oargequantities of imported chocolate work wonders).

The voyage itself was relatively uneventful: the plane was NOT hijacked to Lower Mombasa,

Bay In, Day Outby Ken Herron

the person in the seat in front of me dkJ NOT recline his seat and crash my groin, and the fabric pattern on the seats was NOT overly violent This, we arrived at LAX, retrieved our rental, made our way through LA rash hour traffic to our hotel in Anahcim, and found ourselves at the front gates of the magic kingdom just as they were opening.

Without doubt, Disneyland is "the happiest place on earth^if one is five years old, which is how old I was the last time I was there. Upon returning as an adult, however, one is sad to see how seedy, how dated, and how commercialized Disneyland really is (or has become). Although you no longer think it's worthwhile to spend 90 minutes in line for a 90 second ride, all it takes is the vicarious thrill of seeing a little rug rat see Mickey Mouse up close and personal for the very first time to make it all worthwhile.

Day Two. As this was a package tour, w» decided to spend oar second day of vacation. 21 Universal Studios. I sincerely believe that should Universal ever wish to diversify their business they are fully qualified to go into sheep herding. I have never had so many people in polyester tell me when and where to stand, sit, and squat The majority of the day was spent waiting (in the rain no less) to have fun. Aside from making fun of people at random, the highlight of the day was neither Jaws, King Kong, nor the Psycho House, but our tour guide's unintentional (and unrealized) announcement over the tram's PA system of her previous night's sexual escapades, the severity of her hangover, and how much she despised tourists.

Day Three. Althoughwe still had one day left at Disneyland, my traveling companion and I decided to rebel and took of fin the

rental for fun and excitement. Needless to say, there was Bole of Southern California that we did not see. We power-shopped our way through LA, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood antQ we wore down the numbers on our plastic. We then headed for Venke Beach where we saw every conceivable Califomian stereotype, including a few fellow T-birds.

Day FOOT. On our last official day of vacation, we decided to attempt another package option and hesitantly boarded a bus bound for Mexico. I have never before visited the "third world", and I now know why. We(orratherourtoarist dollars) were assaulted from the moment the bus doors opened in downtown Tijuana to the moment we crossed back over the border. What is the third world really like? Exhausting.

Everyone everywhere is continually trying to get you to buy something, anything from them. Aside from the silver, blankets, and typical MexiTcitsch, there was an amazing number of counterfeit watches (Rolex and Gucci evidently being the most popular) along with more (once again fake) Louis Vuitton items than I have ever before seen in my Ufe (imagine an LV golf bag!). As usual, the worst pan of the adventure abroad was not the natives, but the ugly (and in this case, severely inebriated) Americans.

Day Five. For the last time, we arose at an obnoxious hour only to sit at the airport for four hours after returning our rental car (note the actual flight was only 50 minutes).

In all, we had four days of "fun" where in we did all of the things that one is expected to do on vacation: spend too much money, eat and drink too much food, and not get enough steep, an in the pursuit of that ever elusive "fun".

Back at SchoolbjTheoMaier

Well, another year has come and gone, and I'm still here at Thundcrbird. Is dm good news: they haven't kicked me out yet; or bad news: still not enough credits to graduate? Itmighttakemeacouple more semesters to figure that one oat

Yes, I'm back in the Valley of the Sun, lounging in the cool air conditioning that tamed the Southwest How's this for a grim thought an Arizona summer day, one of those mild 114 degree days when the glue holding on your car door trim melts dribbling down the waxed exterior, when the asphalt sticks to your shoes and even the cement starts to fed soft and the power goes off. Where to hide? Even the shopping malls will get hot in an hour or so. Think of the traffic, everyone driving around in their comfort controlled cars hoping they don't run out of gas. Grim.

They tell me Fall Term has already started, and I can see that's true since all the Northern Europeans are again out by the pool working on their Dr. Voris tans. Lying on my floating citadel fo bliss, (otherwise known as the Body Barge the third in a continuing parade of adult pool toys), wondering idly how many more semesters In can float here before my creditors come after me with guns,Iponderllie alternatives.

I could be working; getting up at seven, putting on the tie and socks, commuting for an hour in a traffic jam, and brown nosing my way futikly to the top, only to come home exhausted, confronted by eternally unfinished home projects, like my science experiments in the refrigerator.

Here at T-Bird, on the other hand, I get up at ten or so, (who wears a watch, bad tan lines), put on my still damp suit carry the Body Barge thirty-nine steps to the pod, and commence to brown my body dating die OTR window (optimal tanning rays 10am to 2pm), then go to the dining hall exhausted, and eat something resembling very much my science experiments in the rcfrigerator...oh well, I never said it was perfect.

There are two things I've learned here at Thundcrbird during this lost year that I'd like to pass on to the new students. The first is, no matter where you go for the summer, it will still be not (except maybe up in Patagonia), so why not just stay here, at least thcre'sapool. The second is, not maucr how long you stay here, you still won't be able to take all the courses offered (they keep adding all those darned new ones), so be prepared to feel stupid when the time comes to graduate.

I personally am looking eagerly forward to another semester filled with bureaucratic squabbles, political rivalries, provocative rumors, and plenty of good old-fashioned weekend fun, because, if nothing else, at least it deeps our minds off our studies for awhile. I hope you all enjoy.

Interview (cont. from page 1)DT: That's why we all came here in the first place, because there's ai least the prospect of getting that kind of perspective.

Mr. Taytor: Maybe sometimes, because of the lack of adequate funds to keep the whole of the school's administration and faculty traveling out beyond the borders of the United States, sometimes perhaps, they lose sight of [that perspective]. Maybe sometimes, they're tempted into a provincial mind set You know, if you or you or 1, if we come and stay in Phoenix, Arizona, for the next ten years, it is inevitable that we arc going to be thinking more and more lie Phoenix, Arizona, and less and less like the world at large.

DT:That'san interesting point thai leads on to another subject, which is, can you explain what you guys arc trying to do as far as this Council of [ASLC] Presidents? Whatisthat? What do you see as the purpose of it? Where do you see it going?

Mr.Taylor: There has been a probkmof continuity in student leadership, inasmuch as we come and we go so quickly, that each time a student leader gets up on issues, is able to have an impact on policies and decisions that really determine the school's future, they're gone before they can do anything. And there has been no real interaction, organized, systematic interaction between the student leaders that are currently in place at any point in time and those who have been here before, such that you can continue to pass along and grow the knowledge base, to keep the empirical knowledge of former student leaders accessible to current student leaders, and become a support resource for overall Thunderbird development The President's Association does not portend to duplicate or replicate or be redundant to any other institution. It would seem to me that anytime any group or faction organizes itself for the common goal of promoting development here, it's good. You know, as we discussed, if the former Das Tor editors could do the same thing, that would be great

DT: DoyouthMthatthePreskJern'sgroupccHddhavebecnar^oft^ working through the Alumni Association?

Mr. TayJor Well, I think thai a!! the former ASLC presidents are par. cf the A!un:ni Association. We all are alumni, but we would like to have an opportunity to work as a group within the alumni to share ideas, try and come up with new concepts, try and support the faculty, the administration, the students, the alumni, everyone. The Alumni Association is all former students, everyone. What we're trying to do is organize a group of people who were very, very actively involved in the issues and the developmental programsof the school while they were here, so they can provide a resource of empirical knowledge about what the big issues are for the current student leaders.DT: So, it's primary purpose would be to serve as a link between present studentgovemment and past student government to form continuity?

Mr.Taylor: Sore, just as I think that if all the former editors of Das Tor wwe to organize to provide you a support resource, and in turn, a support resource for the whole institution, you would all still be part of the alumni.

DT: As an alumni, what qualities would you like to see the next president of Thunderbird have?

Mr. Taytor: The optimum candidate would have a natural acumen for international communications. He or she would enthusiastically engage and encounter people from all walks of life, from all cultures, all races, all nations, all languages, and not have any particular ideological persuasion that would make him or her anything less than the ultimate internationalist. I think that they should have very strong academic credentials because this isanacademic institution. Ithirikit'dbegreatiftrusir«livTdualhadbouiacademkatdentials and some very strong credentials in government or industry, but certainly, it is in my view a prerequisite mat they have strong academic credentials. A PhD., I believe, is needed. This issomething that we should wodc for. I drink that, ideally, they should have achieved so much in their life, already, that they have instant access to the circles of power on Planet Earth, that by simply using their name, they can get through any door in the world that they want to get through. We've talked about, I've heard the names Henry Kissinger, lean Kirkpatrick, etc. We've talked about, well, perhaps those are individuals who have already decided what they want to do for the rest of their life. Perhaps, what it would take to attract them to a school like this is not available in terms of resources, I don't know. But, certainly, the name of this individual should be an enhancement to the image of the school. That's it, succinctly, the name of the indivioualshodd be an cnharKxment to the image of the school, and finally, they would have to become, have to have Ac capability of becoming a missionary in the sense of the word that they could make the school's mission their life's mission, and go at it with all of the zeal and all of the enthusiasm and all of the fervor that it will take. Because, if an individual has the qualifications that we just taDcedabouu resource development, fund raising, etc. is going to be damned easy. If they have that zeal and that enthusiasm and that philosophical compatibility of values, etc., it wfll be an easy thing to do.

DT: Fund raising is the key?

Mr. Taytor: How do I say this? You can't say fund raising is fund raising is fund raising. I would hate to see somebody that, you know, every philanthropic foundation or whatever in the world says, "Oh, not that guy, he's not coming again. Jesus Christ, give him $25 just to get him away." It's got to be done with finesse, it's got to be done with dignity. And that's the trick. We don't want someone who disturbs the dignity of the institution, [but] we don't want someone who is so concerned with their own dignity that they're reluctant to go out and knock on the doors and ask the pointed question, "Will you please contribute?"

DT: We talked before about the global mission of the school, as a whole, but the possibly provincialnatureof the administration, of the trusteeship, and so on. Can you elaborate on that a little bit further?

Mr. Taytor Well, I don't think that the administration or the board or the faculty have a provincial nature. I just think that unless the resources arc there for them to keep themselves abreast of what's going on in the world to the maximum degree possible, then it is a natural occurrence that they become more tuned in, more oriented to that which is surrounding them.

which is the local r^wircial oivironnvatt. It was necessary in the early days of the school to garner some sound, solid support here. There's a man named Sndling. I don't think the school would have ever made it, if this man, who is one of the founding fathers of Phoenix iisclf. had not been so solid!) behind iL How old is he. 80? Hchasu^rrwapromineatlaw firm in Phoenix, and he's there every time something happens. God, we wouldn't he here without that man and a few of them like him. But, it's not that something's beeiMtaie wrong in the past on that issue, as it is that now is the lime to bring it all together, bringmro resources to bear on being sure that we' vc goi the best and the brighicslavailabfcacconfi^ to the mission. And give them what they need lo go out and bring the world here, and take this to the world. And that's always a question of resources.

As you start trying to put in place and execute a very smart strategy for fund raising. you'dbefoolishtoo\rcrk)ok Phoenix. There arc grcatforumcshcrc.Th<rcarcpcopfe here who arc looking for causes to support with their fortunes. Thdma Kfcckhcfcr>j$» cxamplcoflhaL Src'skrc.as^tlx^arcrnanyothcrslflxhcrbcrc. Andlthinkthesiadaiis, as well as the alumni, should expect and support efforts to bring the wealthy philanthropists of the Valley to the school and get them interested in helping make this school all it can be. And it's not provincial to do that It just makes sense. Iidocsn'tmcanthatyouhavcJohave your focus exclusively here. Let's keep in mind dial the focus is the worid. and Phoenix is part of the world.

Whatote' infrastructures would you like to see established, or what present mfrastrucwrcs would you like to see changed that would supplement kind of what we're talking about?

Mr. Taytor Well, we already talked about former Das Tor Editors. I think that can be as important as the former student body Presidents. And the reason for that b because me individuals who have the skills of the journalist are able to maximize the plans that will inevitably go in place and be implemented here for press relations, for example. We shouldn't be breaking our arms, patting ourselves on the back because we get an article or two, here and there, in major business publications. We should expect (hat all business publications in all corners of the world are regularly quoting and publishing on the topics and interests that people here, professors, administration, officials, etc., are experts on. One of the former ASLC presidents was saying that anytime a hot topic hits the international press, like die drought, someone ought to be sure that Clifford Cox. who I believe has a PhD. in Agricultural Engineering, Agribusiness, or something like that, gets a call from Dan Rather or whomever, at CBS News, and we get Clifford Cox in front of the world expressing his views from the American Graduate School.DT: So, it's not as much an infrastructure, as it is publicity? It's enhancement, image enhancement?

Mr. Taytor Resource development. When we talk aoootiesoorce development, we're not just talking about money, but that's a big pan of it Resources, categorically, are marketing resources, operational resources, financial resources, and organizational resources. An association of former student body presidents is an organizational resource. An association of former Das Tor editors is an organizational resource. Where we go from here, after we leave school where you go, where you go may be different paths, but the logic wfll tell me, that you will, by virtue of having had the interest in journalism to be the Editor of Das Tor, be mperfiapsa better rxKJtic«U3 get this school's image enhanced th^ the media.

I think that's the standard they use. They, too. should be organized. They, too, should have a continuing impact on the planning and the development of the academic departments. They shouUbecorjsidercdasaresourcefortfie AcadenikDean,Ithink. It just makes sense; it's just logical. It's just a crying shame if people leave here, and the onty involvement they have in the school are monthly get-togethers at the neighborhood bar or at the most convenient bar, though that ought to happen, too.

DT: It may be an over-used word, but networking is what we're talking about Networking of an lands, of organizations, of people, of ideas.

Mr.Taylor WeweretaIkingaboutmissic«staterneruiurycKikx)koorhefrrjotpagec)fthe catalog, you have the objectives. Where's the mission statement? There is one, I believe, though I think it's not one that is published and nailed on the wall in one sentence or less, but every organizational entity oughtuj have the sarne mission statemenL Okay, you understand, it's not my purpose to define, to take me responsibility to define the mission of the school I'm just trying to say mat in an organization, you want to be sore that everybody has the mission. As you go down through die development of your respective purposes, goals, objectives and tactics, that can all vary according to what one's particular strengths aad weaknesses are in a given area.

DT: What do you think of the business park that has been proposed for the vacant land surrounding the school?

Mr. Taytor I think it's a good idea. I had ̂ opportunity to talk to Dr. Cox Uusnroniing, and I think they "re movmgin the right direction with the concept It may be a good idea to also try and convert an imwvatbn forum of some son that wodd bring u to the table. You know. I wrote something here. "The question is how to cut the diamond so it has the maximum value forever." You know, when you take that chip off, it changes. This is like an uncut diamond in a way. Who has done fantastic jobs on earth in terms of developing something new for the worid, that's really attractive to the world? You know who comes to my mind first? Walt Disney. I'm not saying i£at this becomes Disncyland, obviously. But the same sort of imagineering, innovation and creativity that was applied to do that, needs to be brought to bear here. We don't want to put something that's yet another international business, and I don't think that's what they have in mind, but I say, before you cut the diamond, be real sure that you've brought the best and the brightest minds to bear on the project at hand. Maybe there's a methodical way to go about doing that You could screen the world to find out who are the best and the brightest that the worid has to offer. Invite them to study what you have hcre,and give their ideas. Analyze the responses, then develop some alternative ways of putting this thing together. The way that the international business park

DT: That's a great idea. Any other comroems on the business park?

Mr.Taylor: Yes,onelastcommcm. I havedevelopcdan opinion thatthe successful businessandthcsucccssfu! management communications of the future won't be just the written word, it won't be just the spoken word, it's going to be the visual representation, as wen as the verbal reprcseffiation.AndI<fon'twanttou'rmt this by saying that I think you ought to have a video production capability here, but the impact on the international scene of videos [is great]. How do you go about making sure that this school develops the capability to get out on the leading edge of audio-visual business communications? That's where it's got to be headed. It is not possible for the chief executive officer in Chicago JIUnciis, to callaman in to his officefcra30-minutc chat aboutacritical decision that's in Singapore. How are they going to do tot [in the future]? I think I know the answer. They're going 10 dial him upon the telephone, but they 're going to get more than the voice through the receiver. They're gong to get the Chief Executive and the Executive Vice President in charge of the Pacific in Singapore right there in from of him. You'DbeabIetoSttinfirontofn»esocteariyf]romtheotherskkoftheworid,thatit won't be a great deal different from what we're doing right now. I'll be looking at an image of you right in front of rr^ This school needs to be on the leading edge of that Read my lips. See when I smile. If you ever go to a foreign country, yon may not know but a few words in their language, but you can figure it out by when they smile. Audio-visual representations are more valuable to this school's mission than they are to any other school because of that. Does that make sense?

DT: So, whatever goes into this international business ptok ought to have a heavy emphasis on that?

Mr.Taylor: Suppose they had a special center, a place in Paris, a place in Cairo, a place in Singapore, a plxe where alumni could come and sit down in front of whomever is in the business park. Tell the guy, "You come to the business park in Arizona, or Los Angeles, or San Francisco, or Chicago, or wherever, and we'll put you in front of someone who is there and doing what you're doing. We'll be your counsel, for a fee. That makes

Okay, new students, the boys and girls of summer salute you. You are embarking on a grand journey, the noble mission of which is to boldly go where.~Sorry, wrong story. Anyway, just remember that we are the champions, not time for losers 'cause we are-Very sorry, I did it again. The truth is, las

DearThelma,A few years have passed

since we last spoke, but we think often of our great indebtedness to you. It seems Thunderbird could be on the verge of becoming a phenomenal success, that a catharsis is underway. Over the past weekend a group of 5 former student body presidents gathered here to organize all the former student body presidents as a supporting resource for the development of Thunderbird. Among us, there was unanimous agreement that your generosity is the greatest blessing this institution has known. We are at a loss for words when attempting to convey adequately the gratitude we feel

There is no title, no formal manner of recognition that can do you justice. We hope however that you know the world will be a much better place for future generations because Thunderbird exists. We hope you know that Thunderbird students and alumni believe Thunderbird exists because visionary philanthropists like you care.

May God bless you, Former Presidents of ASLC

To all students, especially 1st semester.

You are all in GRADUATE school now, and as with every graduate school, Thunderbird has certain academic standards to abide by. Being on academic probation is a very serious matter and should be considered as such. If you are on acadenucprobatknttiissernestec.it is essential that you take courses whichwillcnableyoutoaaainaS.O * GPA for mis semester. If your course load is not easy, I suggest you study more than imaginable to keep yourself enrolled. lam one of six committee members that is responsible for deckling whether or not these unfortunate students are put on suspension from school or art allowed to remain. It is disheartening and upsetting to have to see any fellow students be put on

suspension. You are all responsible, intelligent individuals to have made it This far, please exercise those attributes. No one is on a free ride. If you have any questions regarding probationary status, please seek advise in the academic affairs office.

My concern^Deborah Camper, ASLC President

Goooood Morning Thnndcrbird!!!

The Fall Class of 1988 has finally descended upon the slowly awakening grounds of the finest International Graduate School in the US-Thunderbird.

Perhaps you veteran T- Birds have noticed our approach, the droves of gawking, admiring, slightly dazed 1 st tenners, the extra long lines scattered about campus, such as the ever popular Waiver lines which seemed to circle the TAC building more than once, and of course the white and manila envelopes we have totted around filled to the brim with all the paraphernalia and help sheets which have been handed to us every time we turn around.

On fast impression, the school seems to offer a different type of atmosphere, one that only a small school could offer a police force which is honestly interested in helping the students, not just a ticket-happy one; a cafeteria staff which is striving to supply not only a well-balanced meal, but one that actually tastes good; a financial aid office which really gives out monetary aid; a computer center which has up to-date hardware that is actually made by some one we know; etc, etc.

When I joined the U.S. Marine Corps, in 19841 was told that it would be the toughest fraternity in the world to join, well militarily yes, but academically Thunderbird is the one to join. I send out a personal challenge to all new T-Birds, we have the duty, nay the obligation to maintain the high standards our formerpeers have set The challenge: to maintain and surpass these standards. As I walked around the school grounds I could feel a sense oS esprit de corps. an electrifying sensation - we are all Thunderbirds, together we will learn, share, and grow.

Fraternally, Erik V. Myhrberg

I promised myself and several of my friends at Thunderbird that I would write this letter right after I got settled in my new home. Although. I made the promise to them, die letter is really addressed to the Thonderbird administration and to the current and future classes.

I feel.and will always feel, that the time and money that I invested into my studies at Thunderbird were well spent. However, several changes could and should be made to the physical plant, personnel and program which would make a major difference to the future students.

First, the physical plant All students corning toThundcrbird soon recognize that the money that is being spent is not all going into the facilities. There is no problem with that, you do not need a palace to conduct a worthwhile class. But you do need an environment that is conducive to the student's attention span. When the question as to whether or not the air conditioning will be working makes dressing for class into a gambling game ...New do 1 wear a parka or gym shorts and a tank top?...you have a problem. So what if the building dates from World War II? You don't have to tear down the building to install an air conditioning unit that works; at least repair the ones that are in place (and fix them right).

Air conditioners aside, why does the maintenance crew insist on placing their grass clippings in a dumpster to rot when it is strategically located behind West Dorm? I know that I'm glad that I didn't have to live there, especially when the wind was out of the southwest, its usual direction during the summer. Couldn't they move it so that it was some place less likely to spread its aroma where so many noses are offended. Jike the middle of the empty field?

Second, the personnel. While everybody knows that it is unrealistic to expect the school to be able to find a staff full of Cathy King-Todds, who are ready, willing and able to help you with almost any problem you may have (or at least direct you to the most qualified person to do so), it should be able to avoid those who seemingly delight in rudeness.

Thank goodness these individuals are also in short supply, but the ones who slipped by are real doozies. Most present in my memory were the visits that I made to the World Business office at the Control Tower (before the offices in the TAC Annex were moved there). One visit to find out about when grades were to be posted left me wondering what land of heinous crime I had committed, that 1 deserved to be so verbally assaulted. That was nothing when compared to the elaborateness of the run around that more than 20 of my classmates and I received last fall when we campaigned to add another section to the Forad offerings. We all felt that a lifetime subscription to Miss Manners might have been appropriate for this particular lady.

Third, the program. That's what we all came here for, isn't It? I was happy with the overall program. As with any program, there arc courses that we

would all like to see added that aren't included, but if mat was that big of an issue men we probably wouldn't have applied in the first place. My objection is with the administration of the program. Courses such as Intend and Forad. along with the remainder of die upper level classes are what make Thunderbird attractive to students and prospective employers and also arc critical in Thunderbird's top rating for schools of international management Assuming that mis is a true statement, why arc so few sections of these classes offered? Why should a group of interested students be required to petition for the addition of sections to accommodate the demand? Administration is operating with a very small staff, but supply and demand are factors that are stressed in the lower as well as upper level world business classes. They should be recognized by those running the school as well.

Finals also should be mentioned (aren't they always?). Testing is almost always a controversia! subject, but I -ould like to discuss it from a different angle. How many tests are too many during finals? Is four tests in one day too many? Well, yes. How about three? Most final semester students (or second or first semester students for that matter) would say that three is too much, yet I know of some who had to endure such a load. Gee, and I thought that I had it bad when I had to face three finals in a two day span.

The guidelines here should be evaluated and revised. Those poor individuals were extremely harried by the end of the ordeal, and I know that they didn't perform as well as they should have - would have, if they were given sufficient time between exams.

One final barb and will sign off. If and When I am in a position to make a contribution to^ the school, I win probably insist that h go coward the purchase of a library control system. The librarians constantly complained about the difficulty of building a quality library when a great number of the publications they acquired walked out the door and never returned. This despite the "intense inspection given to every backpack, purse or bag as it left the premises. I began to call the exercise of leaving the library "customs", as it reminded me so much of the VS. Border Patrol and I.N.S. practise. It seemed to me that the cost of replacing those publications would have paid for the library control system and allowed the librarians to pursue their objectives with fewer worries.

All these complaints barely compare in the balance when compared with the pride I feel about successfully completing the Thunderbird program. I still feel that I got my money's worth. And the T-Bird Network works too! I didn't use it to find a job, but it sure has worked to find friends in a strange new city. I sure got tired of the word "Network" as much as it wasusedaroundcampus. but I have to say that I kind of like it now!

I do hope that those that I have described will take the criticism and do something positive with it, something to benefit future

T-Birds. None of the situations I talked about were out of control (totally) and all are correctable. I also feel that collectively or individually they would improve the learning environment at Thunderbird.

Robert C. Wheeler, May *88

As we walk around our little Thunderworld, we feel safe and secure, perhaps guarded from the vickmsness and brutality of the outside world. But sadly enough, Thunderbird Campus is accessible to anyone. There have been incidents of assault and attempted thefts on this campus, so please be aware of this and act accordingly. One problem is the lighting on campus, particularly from the West Dorms to the cafeteria and surrounding the West Dorms. I have spoken with Bob Watts, Director of Physical Plant, and he assures me he will look into the different possibilities of improving lighting in those areas. However, this is an expensive task, and will require further investigation. If yon know of other dirn and dangerous locations, please inform me.

Looking after your safety. Deborah Camper

Ever wonder what you are eating? Every country has some pretty iffy ingredients which you will come across, you know you should try, but sometimes wish you hadn't

Now I always try the stuff, no matter what, especially if it's off the street. I love street food. Ihave never gotten food poisoning from these family-owned businesses, except for the time I simply ate too much in Hong Kong, because it was socheapandsodifferent So maybe street food is not exactly the safest, but it is interesting and often tastes better than what you can cook for

yourself. It is like the food in those backroad country tons where the hot cakes are bigger than the plate, thicker than your bath towel rolled over twice, and cheaper than 3220 for three. And, you can eat it immediately. In the U.S., everything is over-packaged with Saran Wrap, styrofoam,plastic, metal, and adult-proof containers. By the time you've knifed your way to yourprocesscd sandwich, you've slashed your fingers and lunch break is over.

One AGSIM professor who lived in Argentina found that she needed to bring her own bottles

to the store to fill them with milk. In most countries customers need to bring their own shopping bags. And whoever heard of ha ving a bag boy bring the grocery bap out to thecar? Where will he be when you get home? Responding us one inquiry for help to bring my bag to the car, I said ,Tes, my bicycle is just outside."

On the street you find all sorts of vendors, with their plywood cans with two wheels, or kitchen table outside of their home, or little boys selling you cigarettes through the car window. In Egypt there aKfalafeh and lamb, and in

Brazil, freshly mixed juices. The problem here is that you may be using the same glass as Pedro, who has a cold.

Basically they consist of meat wrapped in bread; the variations arc in the spices in the meat and the method of wrapping.

There is a market on the financial district side of town where one can discover the joy of not wanting to eat Every imaginable part of the animal is used, steamed, fried, boiled, dehydrated, processed, packaged, sold and yes. eaten. This habit of consuming everything comes from the days when the Chinese people had nothing, neither in their stomaches nor in their financial portfolios. The peasants adjusted to the lack of the "good parts."

In the Philippines, I found eggs dyed black from tea, and even better, chicken embryos. I did get the nerve up to eat them, as well as filleted guinea pig in Peru. Americans have some pretty gross combinations themselves. Nowhere else in the world is peanut butter consumed, except for peanut sauce in some Asian countries. Pat together peanut butter and bananas, and apples and cream cheese, and you get a candy bar and cheesecake.

Now the Orientals don't eat sweets like the Westerners. Vegetables, vegetables, rice and vegetables. No wonder the average age of the Japanese is 80. and the Americans, 72. This partially stems from the fact that the Japanese steam most of their food; only tempura is fried.
