Is College Money Well Spent? As graduation gets near we wonder if it was all worthwhile - putting so much money and time into getting an education. ft is not hard to wonder since today people with college degrees are standing in unemployment lines together with high school drop-outs. One may ask himself, why bother to go to college at all if one can't get a job anyway? Of course there is the statistics jungle which can be used to support any argument, but generally college graduates still earn more than those without degrees. A degree won't guarantee a good job. but the truth is that a college education can help you get a job and keep it. According to Dennis -Johnson, an education and management consultant. "Education is and will continue to be the difference on the job entry level, upward mobility and leadership positions in this country. If this is not true why are the corporations so in- volved in self-improvement programs." We have here on campus hundreds of companies recruiting every year. Businessmen still think that an education is some proof that a person is capable of going through a program which entails a kind of discipline. For those whose degrees did not lead directly to getting a job, a college education is still valuable, according to educators. "In the future we must con- sider education as something that enriches the personality and improves life, and not just to raise GNP." says Howard Bowen. chancellor of the Claremont University Center in flaremont. California, and one of the advocates of liberal education. He feels that "the purpose of education is to change and im- prove people and not to get them better jobs. My feeling has always been that a liberal education produced a liberal kind of person and that person should make his way into all kinds of jobs, manual and white collar. What's wrong with having a well educated electrician?" C. Kemmons Wilson, founder of the Holiday Inn chain, believes mat hard work is the key to success, although he is a high school dropout.

FICTION by Craig Williams

The American Dream.What is if Where is it? How

can 1 find it'Similar questions regarding

that all-illusive fantasy of Free Enterprise have plagued the troubled minds of philosophers and writers for nearly a century Earlier versions of the American Dream centered around Dreiser's Sister Carrie and Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby while one of the latest accounts appears in Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

It is with many of the words and the total confusion of Thompson that 1 offer my version of uH ccjuslly illusive fantasy, ujc Thunderbird Dream, as it ap­ peared to me and as I pursued it during my final semester at A.G.S.I.M,'

The very idea that the Thun­ derbird Dream did indeed exist came to me when ray name appeared on a list for no ex­ plicable reason. But it wasn't until a call came through several days later that I became aware of the fact that I was about to be thrust upon its path.

"Are you kidding me?" I screamed at my attorney after he had expressed doubt.

Understanding The Arabsby Jay Savage

Exemplified by last week's panel discussion on the Mideast, AGSIM is moving forward toward significant participation in the tremendous business boom engendered by the turnaround in world oil prices and the sub­ sequent flow of capita] to one of the chief sources of petroleum.

In the recent curriculum survey many students questioned the lack of ^ifrfftai*tial course offerings related to the Mideast in spite of Thunderbird's ideal internationally - oriented curriculum and Dr. Voris' ex­ tensive background in both Arab countries and Iran.

Hopefully this vacuum will be fiDed in the near future, due in large part to the efforts of David Merchant, AGSIM's new Director of Plans and Development, who has drawn up an ambitious proposal for a United States - Arab Center for International Management to be established .on the Thunderbird Campus.

In 1974 the OPEC nations, over half of which are Arab, recorded $97 billion in balance of payment surpluses. In many of the un­ derdeveloped Arab countries there is a race against mounting profits to invest them usefully in both domestic and overseas ventures.

American technology and managerial expertise are in­ valuable for the development of their economics The expansion in this area is already beginning to manifest itself in job descriptions at the placement center.

The proposal is currently being considered for funding by a major foundation which would, in turn, open the doors to many other sources of funds later. Practically speaking, the first

area in which Arab studies would begin is Arabic language courses.

In a recent sample survey among first-semester students, about 15 percent of respondents indicated that they would have chosen Arabic if it had been of­ fered rather than the language they are studying.

Interest in Arab culture business courses to be offered through the International Studies Department ran slightly over 50 percent.

With that level of interest in­ troductory language courses could be expected within one to two semesters of funding from outside sources with IS courses following soon thereafter.

But the emphasis is not to be overly concentrated on the American side. The plan en­ visions recruitment of more Arab students and the development of "key man" type programs for both Arab and American businessmen, and exchange of faculty and students with universities in the Arab world.

In addition. technical assistance in establishing a graduate-level school of in­ ternational management and executive development in an Arab country is one of the long- term aspects of the plan. Dr. Voris' recent trip to the Mideast laid the foundations for later substantial cooperation.

With outside funding the key to the proposal, plans remain tentative. But according to Merchant, current negotiations are promising and if successful would allow AGSIM to fill the oil- lubricated gap in international education and understanding of the Arab world which, like petroleum usage, shows no sign of disappearing in the immediate future.

by Ukn HeuriaAt one time there was the great

hope that as technological in­ novation came to the com­ munications field man's in­ creased ability to communicate with his fellow man would eradicate much of the misin­ formation and misunderstanding within the world.

As recent history has shown, this i« not necessarily so. During the Viet Nam war Americans and others throughout the world were able to view the fighting in their very own living rooms. Imagine, Johnny sipping a coke while Suzy was doing her hair as both sat glued to a T.V. set viewing the ravages of war unfold before their very eyes. What kind of understanding could Johnny and Suzy possibly gain in such a scenario. The amount of in­ formation which constantly bombards the average individual

International Perspectiveof the seventies is phenomena]. Newspapers, magazines, radios, and the almighty T.V. provide a continuous array of information about the most varied subjects and events.

Unfortunately many in­ dividuals have coped with al] this news by insulating themselves from it. Terrorist killings, war, and fa~line become nothing more than every day events considered in the same light as the weather report for the day.

The sad fact is that the dissemination of information itself is no guarantee that greater concern or understanding will evolve. Unless the information which an individual is exposed to is integrated into his con- scienceness and thinking be may as well have never received the information at all.

The communications industry

has done its part in making news more than a momentary flash of information through more commentaries, editorializing and follow-up reporting. Isolated events need to be drawn together and analyzed for the meanings behind them.

A wage dispute, higher costs for raw materials, new tax laws, environmental impact statements, greater govern­ mental regulation, are all headlines occurring daily. Looked at as a whole the headlines clearly begin to define a new environment for con­ ducting business. Looked at separately the headlines portray but isolated significance.

Information is a good beginning to arriving at un­ derstanding, but serious analysis and thinking are just as im­ portant.

A SURE WAV TO A HAPPY DAY

Happiness is something we create in our mind.

It's not something you search for and so seldom fmd-

Ifs just waking up and beginning the day

By counting our blessings and kneeling to pray-

K's giving up thoughts that breed discontent

And accepting what comes as a "gift heaven-sent"-

It'sgiving up wishingfor things we have not

And making the best of whatever we've got-

It's knowing that life is determined for us,

and pursuing our tasks without fret, fume or fuss-

For it's by completing what God gives us to do

That we find real contentment and happiness, too.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. CAP) - When market conditions are bad and a product won't sell, ad­

vertising can make a difference, even when the seDer is a prestigious technological university, the market is summer jobs and the product is out-of- work students.

Faced with slim response from the traditional ways of digging up summer work for students. Massachusetts Institute of Technology' took out three ads in the Wall Street Journal. They began: "MIT Students Seek

Summer Jobs."The same day, responses came

in from interested company presidents, board chairmen and plant managers and continued for two weeks. The result was about 40 job openings, most of them for young people with training in business or en0neering.

"Our usual bush beating efforts wern't coming through." said Lawrence E. Maguire, director of the student employment office. "We wanted to get to the top level of decision makers, the ones who could say. Take one, take two,' and somebody beneath them would have to do it"

The idea was to round op well paving jobs where students could use their training, not spend their time sweeping floors or waitingon tables.

"These jobs are taflor-made fir MfT students." said Mark W.Crane, a student who came up ..with f Re advertising idea. lit

President's Report I caa quitAt the close of this semester it

is appropriate to review the activities of the student govern­ ment and list the ac­ complishments that have been attained. It has been a very ac­ tive and productive semester. The meetings have lasted an average of two and one-half hours and even so most reps had an excellent attendance record. The various committees also worked hard and between the two the following achievements resulted:

The establishment of a per­ manent student-faculty liaison will improve communications between those groups.

The "Fortune 900" facilitates learning names and helps us all keep in touch after graduation.

The Marketing dub's Survey provides the only objective perspective on the AGSM image in the corporate .'.\*rld, and should be the basis of many constructive conversations.

The detailed analysis of the school's financial reports stopped untrue rumors and promoted trust.

The improved program of films provided on-campus cultural entertainment as did the club parties and the many informative speakers.

Due to work ot ASLL com­ mittees, the dining haD prepares meals more the way students like them, the placement center of­ fers more services, the ad­ missions procedure has been improved, and a formula for more equitable distribution of scarce scholarship funds is being devised

In summary we have tried to reduce the rod of politics in ASLC by appointing persons with divergent views to responsible positions. We have had con­ troversy but we have paved the way for stability. Recom­ mendations have been made which if followed will provide for greater continuity between semesters.

It is hoped that the trend toward an increasingly responsible and responsive government will continue. The three parts of the community now have a better mutual un­ derstanding. We roust get on with the task of upgrading the quality of preparation we provide and telling our story to the outside world.

Thank you Br\ice Harris

Vietnam DonationsLast week the International

Students Organization sponsored an impromptu collection of donations for the Vietnamese children coming to the U.S. This effort, consisting of collection cups in the Post Office lobby. Coffee Shop, Dining Room and Pub, netted a total of $54.28. At this week's ASLC meeting the body voted to match the fund, doubling the total to $108.56. This money will be sent to President Ford, to be used for the en­ tertainment of Vietnamese children as a symbolic welcome

to the USA.One dark spot during the

collection effort was an unknown pilferer who stole approximately five dollars out of the dining room collection. May the demons haunt your soul - or win your conscience suggest returning the money anonymously to the International Sudents Committee post office box.

Thank you to the "T-Birds" who gave. "No man (or woman) stands so tall as when he (she) bends to help a child."

(CPS» The depressed American economy and job market being what it is. many job-conscious college students are turning to oil wealthy Mideastern nations for em­ ployment and overseas study.

Sot only is Yankee know-how in demand from Iran to Kuwait, but the salaries paid are often twice as high as those for comparable stateside jobs.

Extra lures include lavish fringe benefits, live-in help, little or no income tax (which is in­ variably paid by the corporation or government employer* ami free Western schooling for the kids and a chauffeur for the wife (many Moslem states do not allow females to drive).

The number of Americans sought for employment by the oil producers is estimated to quadruple within the next four years. As might be expected, students majoring in chemical engineering and other petroleum related fields are in the highest- demand.

Officials of the recruiting nations note, however, that in addition to those of the Jewish faith, women have a minimal chance of employment

Raping The Benefitscontinued from

falls asleep in them because the material is repetitious. In this category, I include the great number of foreign language undergrad majors, envied by the business majors when they prance out of the FL department, waiver form in hand. (By the way. they do get theirs so to speak, in Econ. Accounting and Management.)

A third group, growing smaller every year, consists of ex­ perienced business people who attend AGSIM in hopes of ob­ taining expertise in the field of international management (you remember what that is...). These are the minorities who sit in IS and WB classes filling the professor in on just how it really is in a multi-national, spouting statistics where applicable and they always are.

Personally, 1 feel I have benefited greatly from the curriculum here ... mostly because I didn't know anything when I got here (nowhere to go but up I. In this respect, I have gotten my money's worth, and if I get a job out of here, well, let's not consider the absurd im­ possibilities.

But the more "liberal" the

backgrounds of entering students, the more basic the business courses become, the less enthused a. seasoned businessman is about coming hereto discuss management with 24 yr.-old history majors.

I do not ignore the fact that one of the greatest assets of the

school is the diversity of its students, allowing for an ex­ change of a multitude of different cultures, and thus ideas. If there is one thing AGSIM has going for it (aside from our oleander bushes! it is the nature of its student body. May it survive for decades to come.

Echos From The Grand Canyon"Well begun is half done" was

the feeling of every student who missed Hanz Jany on the Grand Canyon trip, which he had arranged, but coidd not enjoy because of his flyback to Ger­ many. Nevertheless, EEC spirit did not give way and Brace Lamarche known for his pipe, red shirt and red van, under the title of United International succeeded Hans as a manager of the trip. Success of the trip is the best tribute to two perspective international managers and a proof of their talent.

Out of 900 T-Birds only ffi proved that they are real birds, and could go as far as the Grand Canyon to have a good time. The group was quite multinational and consisted of people aged 3 years to 57 years. Mrs. File from Illinois, faki from Japan, Ftorentile from Austria. Gitan from Germany, Azrz from Saudi Arabia and Belgatn Klines from the French dept. were the few chosen to represent the wild world outside Thunderbird nest.

The very first feeling I got after getting off campus was the realization that we are not as cut off from civilization as some crazy people on campus think-.

The trip started half an hour late necause ot those who steep white fteir lock is quite active. Mr. Choy. winner of a free trip to the Grand Canyon, was in his bed oitil 9a.m. He was kind enough to let us start within 5 minutes after he was called.

The most exciting part of the trip was the open-air dinner, after wallowing in the sun.

There was steakfor every one to make;on a grill in the parkfor dinner in the dark:where no cat was grey.But dinner in the dark was not

at all bothersome, as somone sang -

1 will be the moonwhen sun goes down;to let you knowthat I am still around.Post-dinner ceremonies

continued in the bar. where Abdullab. and Paul kept the waitresses and the band busy. More inspiring was the presence of Judy who danced on crutches and joined the hikers next morning.

1 know it is quite late to give you a chance of repenting on not joining us. but I could not write it rarlier because it took me two

weeks to recover from the fatigue nf hiking down and back up a round trip of about 5 mites. I missed you, believe it or not, but he sure you missed a very good excursion, sponsored by BO and ASLC the body whose achievements you seldom ap­ preciate.

I take the opportunity to ex­ press my appreciate for late riser Mr. Crosson. who could not get up early in the morning to count steaks for on-campus students only, and thus helped us avoid a Waterloo which could take place on the peaceful Grand Canyon, otherwise.

Before 1 leave you. I like to quote a few lines from the ad- xfrtisement that Hans and later BriKf used to attract the birds:

On a quiet weekend.When you are alone:and there is nobodyto call you on a phone.Don't you feel crying.to tell me you're dying:I know you are lyingEven then I suggest yougo to Grand Canyon NEXT TIME.THANKS JANY. THANKS

SPORTS NOTESto what was probably the last

soccer game for the third semester students, a slightly out- of-shape champ team took the Q-usaders $4 on a wery warm Saturday afternoon.

Rob Bumquist scored the three goals of the first half on assists from Roberta Bumagny and Tor HoJtan The second half saw cores from Danny Bolter and Juan Goyburo. Brian Black «yved as goalie for the T-ttrd team

Graduating are Gay Harris, Horst Hdtzy. and Leo PoBt It may also have been the last game for some of the second semester

students who are finishing to the summer when there is fess soccer action due to the weather.

There win never be anettier team exactly lice this one, which, for those who have followed tbe team, is a sad loss. But the ex­ citement of it aD is that new players keep snowing up each semester, new teams tern to work together, and T-BWs go right on making their name to local sports.

Best wisfces for those who an continuing. Thanks to those who are turning in their suits for tbe last time.
