Students Adapt to Registration Hassles

by Regina Stair RJdtey

For most students, registration means standing in a long line, watching a bulletin board fill up with dosed courses. But for at least one student, registration is an opportunity to beat the system.

Second semester student "John" described his technique as follows: Find a third semester student register­ ing for only 15 credits and persuade him to write in one additional course on his registration card. The third semester student then picks up toe computer card for thai course and slips it into his pocket. He erases toe course from his registration card, hands in his cards, leaves the Auditorium and gives you the card you requested.

You get four or five third semester students to pick up cards for you, then wait in line at your regular time and once in the Auditorium, hand in the cards you have already collected.

Although "John" did not know of anyone who bad used his system he found most students very receptive to helping him out.

"John" suggested one measure which could be taken to combat having

oltect •rise's.mother student coueci someone cards would be mandating that students sign their computer cards. Tbe cards could then be checked to make suretbey were signed by the same per­ son. However, "not enough people are taking advantage of the system to worry about controlling it," John said.

Dean of Faculty Marshall Geer and Us secretary Banda Bremer were unaware of Price's method bat admit­ ted that it was perfectly feasible. Geer said that be would consider having students ffll out their registration cards in ink. Any changes would have to be in­ itialled by a professor.

Over the years the Administration has increased controls at registration. Tbe present system of having pro­ fessors band in 500-level computer' cards directly to Academic Affairs resulted from abuses of the previous system. Professors used to give students their cards after the interview. Many students, according to Geer, col­ lected four of five cards and deferred a decision on which course to take.

The real problem of registration is that qualified students are closed out of courses they want. Geer said he has met with World Business Chairman Richard Bossert to discuss adding courses, for example. WB-512, Finan­ cial Statement Analysis, if someone could be found to teach the course.

To the Editor:

Maria Rehwk's dissattsfac lion with tbe present Thunder- fund went far beyond (he bounds of reasonable debateThe rise of the

Thundermeter can hardly be described as meteoric Thus, I

must necessarily question Ms Smith's assertion that a "few malcontents" are responsible for the apparent failure of the drive. Susan's accusation that these "few malcontents" who question (he correctness of this particular semester's fund drive organization are merely looking tor an excuseS^wS^SlrualSoTSStoi-Oon anyway, is both uncalled for and unfounded.

Finally. Susan's personal at­ tack upon "the smallness" of these allegedly "few malcontents" demonstrates to me the thinking of a tem­ porarily tantumous student who has achieved a remarkable level of base human pettiness. Low life. Ms. Smith, low life.

We regret that the article about financial aids in DasTor of Nov. 7 failed to mention the Friends of Thunderbird En­ dowed Scholarship Fund.

We assure you it is alive and functioning. Grants are available to third semester students only, chosen by the AGSIM Scholarship Commit­ tee. Two or three students have benefited each term. It is for this that we hold the an­ nual Balloon Race, and the results of this year's Race will bring the total to at least $80,000. Our goal is $100,000.

The Friends of Thunderbird have many people to thank

"Baby" Course Criticizedby Tom B

A! times my ability to grope for the diptoroaiic tactful way to say something is severely tested. Such is nay dilemma in writing this criticism of a "baby "class While I truly ap­ preciate the quality of my AGSiM education as a whole, the I'm attending In "babyness" has failed to Irve up to my basic bottom line assessment of the requisites of a class, albeit a' 'baby*" class.

The pejorative connotation in the word "baby" quite frankly takes on the hue of stark realism in said class for the following reasons:

1> The professor, while ob­ viously a good guy and presumably quite an able business person, fills the yawning gaps of time in his classes with erudite asides about his experiences in the "real" world, while neglec­ ting, even harming, the ability of the student to relate the re- quired reading to the leaderless anecdotalization.

2> These yawning gaps of time lead the conscientious student to not only tail to respect the professors leader­ ship, but to assume that such a lackadaisical attitude should be responded to in kind, that is, by an attitude of am- bivilence.

3> The subsequent examina­ tion, however, reflected a psuedo academic point of view that combined subjective loopholes in a purportadly ob­ jective test, and failed to relate to the class environ­ ment. Which, in turn, led to widespread critical gossip among classmates as to what be was trying to pnov*. Jar If fee -was trying to prove who had learned what from the textbook it failed in the sense that it was too subjective, and if he was trying to prove who had learned what from class it also failed because little of real import had transpired other than a few jokes.

4) The topper, Iwwew, was that said teacher then acased the class of being "babies" for having so rudely received what were on the whole low- grades, on a futp^ktog academic opus of a test. And white the intent of this letter isn't to justify a failure to study properly, the professor failed to see the eonnectloti be had with those grades in­ asmuch as bis leadership was found lacking Sleepy students make disappointed stadiers, and we sleepy students repre­ sent a chorus of latent criticism as to his audacity to refer to us as "baby" students, without having men­ tioned his quite "baby" ap­ proach to teaching a "baby" class

Lest this letter be written off

as ttoe reacttecs of a sour grape.- I wish to report Oat rr.y motivation quotient for go- isg to the class has fallen to such a level that I havent ewn to pick it up. And even though I'm losing bet­ ween 15 to 20 dollars for each class I fail to attend, there so far has been such little knowledge imparted from the source of knowledge {the pro­ fessor) that could possibly be of any direct ase in UK "real" vorid, mat, on the whole, I'd rather lose UK money doing something else That is. there u so little connection between the class and the tests that I might as well just read tbe text and blow off the time elsewhere because tbe class time will have no relationship with my ultimate grade.

Joseph John Addresses Students08CtniI>«rl, 1S»-QASTOfl-3

on Middle EastThen are abundant op­

portunities to the Middle East for the young manager, claim­ ed consultant Joseph R, John He spoke as "Doing Business to the Middle East" in the Goldwatcr Lounge on November 24,1990 to forty in­ terested students.

John said that the best managers and professionals should be sent to Saudi Arabia. Often the worst per­ sonnel are sent there and they flounder. A good manager in the US may fail in Saudi Arabia,

John advised that Uie Arab market should be approached in a professional manner. He added that if one can succeed in Saudi Arabia, it is a good in­

dication that OIK can make itanywhere. Furthermore, when the young manager returns to the US, his ex­ perience will be in-valuable to both himself and his firm.

When John was asked about opportunities for women in the Arab World, be answered that there are plenty, except in Saudi Arabia.

"Patience is paramount" according to an Arab saying, which John quoted. Most of the Americans, who fail in the Middle East, fail because of their impatience, tactlessness and forwardness.

John gave an excellent over­ view of an Arab's business, social, religious and political- profile. He stressed the im-

portance of understanding the Arab, his culture, and his language, in order to suc­ cessfully do business in tte

EastJohn is Chairman and Chief

Executive of J R J and Associates. IK., a consulting firm in San Diego, California and has worked in the East for thirteen years. He holds an MBA from Harvard and a BS in Engineering from tte US Naval Academy.

John was hosted by the Arabic C!ub with financial help from the Speakers' Com­ mittee, which made the event possible. Next semester the Arabic Club plans to host more speakers.

Thunderbirds Wield Lethal DiplomaSomeone once said that "a

little knowledge is a dangerous thing." If that is in­ deed tfee case, Uses AGSK turns loose upon the world each year hundreds of T-Birds wielding the lethal HIM diploma. In order to minimize the danger to the public and to the graduates themselves, it is only right that each graduating student be issued the following booklet instruc­ ting them on the proper use and care of the Tnunderbird Mystique:

Congratulations! You are now the" proud owsef of a Master's degree of Interna­ tional Management Please check the box to make sure you have all of the parts. All models should include:

-30 cassette tapes, language of your choice;

-personalized portfol io of re­ jection letters;

-3 months' back issues of Wall Street Journal;

-Overdue bill for same;-5 T-shirts with the word

"AGSIM" written on them somewhere;

-10 Ibs. of Xeroxed material labelled "Reserve,"

-A thorough understanding (through persona] ex­ perience) of Maslow's needs theory.,

In addition, the on-Campus Model '7-11 should include one box of Meow Mix. The Off- Campus Model »8-5 comes with 5 unpaid parking tickets 2 legitimate, 3 still in contention. Spouse and school ring are optional.

To ensure proper placement of the MM, type out 50 copies of the test pattern on the back of this sheet, beginning with "Dear Sir: I am a recent graduate of the American School of International Management..." After repeating this test several times, your Mystique should be in working order.

Martha von HilJebrandt, who retires at graduation. Students Diana Owens, Con­ rad Terry, John Dunn, and Candy McAdam have volunteered to get the ban roll­ ing at Club Day next Spring, As experienced committee members, they will also be on nana to advise the new organizers.

In an effort to provide future conferences with guidelines, Ms. Owens is also editing the final report and evaluation of this year's conference on Latin America. Results from the evaluations were extreme­ ly positive, indicating that the event was worthwhile and spurring plans tor 1981 .

More specifically, members of the audience who critiqued the event lauded the organiza-

question and answer period. Most felt that the round tables were sufficiently long (one and a half boors), although some did feel a two-day event would be preferable This possibility is being further ex­ amined.

In an effort to improve com­ munity awareness of the con­ ference, committee members are planning new publicity strategies that will include visiting local international business clubs and organiza­ tions such as Rotary. A new banquet format is also being readied in order to avoid some of this years' complications.

It is hoped that the earlier scheduling of the conference in the fall semester will pre­ vent conflicts with mid term examinations. The 25th of September is particularly significant as it is com­ memorated as the day Por­ tuguese explorer Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean. In future years, spring scheduling of the conference will also be considered.

Students interested in serv­ ing on the committee and/or chairing the event are urged to contact Sonia Thurmond, Director of Communications (ext nil) or Martha von HUlebrandt text, 7491).

New Course Offered in Winterimby Richard Bo«

A "timely" new course will be offered during Wlntertm.

Due to considerable student interest in the WB562 course "Technology Transfer Through Licensing" to be of­ fered during the Winterim period, an interview was con­ ducted with Professor C W. Parker to tell the "whys" of this course. It should be noted

provides trade secrets, for In­ stance, and there happened to be a falling out of parties, the transferor would lose control of his trade secrets and would find it next to impossible to protect his rights to his pro­ perty in a foreign country.

Das Tor: What about the positive side?

Parker: To earn a royalty income and thus amortize the Rand D expenses or to have a

imately one hour of that course is devoted to the licens­ ing process which I'm sure you can see couldn't possibly even scratch the surface of such a complex act The course is designed to acquaint the students with some of toe basic aspects of patents and trademarks around the world.

Das Tor: Is there any other important area*

Das Tor: Why is it impor­ tant for international business managers to know about licen-

Parker: There is a growing body of restrictive law in many LDC's which prohibit the importing of foreign made goods.

Dw Tor: What about the dangers in licensing for a com­ pany's technology, patents, trade secrets, etc.?

Patter; The predominant concern is the creation of a competitor. A second concern relates to those jurisdictions in which toe foreign country can own or control a max­ imum of 49% of a foreign joint venture, so if the company

panics maintain a presence in a market rather than abdicate if exporting is no longer possi­ ble. Often times the transferor and the transferee of one piece of technology in a developing country might be able to trade technology from the licensee to the licensor and often times there is such a synergistic ef­ fect by such an arraignment. In some cases, a market is too small to establish a subsidiary thus licensing provides a mid­ dle ground between exporting and a fun blown subsidiary operation.

Da* Tor: Isn't this material covered by the WB449 course "Import and Export Licensing and Operation?"

Parker:It is my understan­ ding in a conference with Pro­ fessor Bossert that approx-

Ye» there tm one. AnHtrest If you even glance at the Wall Street Journal on a regular basis you'll see article after article describing the difficulty companies are hav­ ing with antitrust as it imp­ inges upon and constrains the marketing and distribution of products. Another area that will be covered is the manage­ ment of technology and where it should appear in the cor­ porate structure.

In summary it should be noted Oat Professor Parka's background as a lecturer and consultant to various high level international organiza­ tions in this very field give him excellent credentials for the teaching of this course. His practical experience should provide added insight to toe academics of this subject.

Mr. Davis, an engineer m charge of Producability for the shuttle, feels that in spite of long hours, tte work is behind schedule and the ac­ tual launch may be a bit delayed. All this is due to budget cutbacks. But once all the shuttles are in active ser­ vice, the space effort wfll leap forward and so wffl business prospects,

A new type of business that will take precedent on a global scale will be terra forming, where plants, specially developed to survive the en­ vironment will be planted around a planet such as Mars to produce oxygen in quan­ tities large enough to allow humans to breath without breathing apparatus and to get a thick enough atmosphere to cut off most of the harmful solar energy such as ultraviolet radiation.

How about a US "Most Favored Planet" trade doc­ trine? These and countless others will have to be answered by business people

by the time we are in our 40's andSO's.With the recent

developments in such exotic propulsion systems as mass drivers and research into an- tigravity, travel time may be reduced to the point where a trip around the solar system will be like a trip around the state or even town. So hang on
