DAS TOR AFTER DARK

Looking for a place to go for dinner? Try the Islands, on North 7th Street. The food is good, and the band plays many kinds of music for dancing and listening. Maybe you'd prefer someplace a bit more informal while driving through the rain this week­ end , I passed a wierd-looking building just south of Missouri on 7th Street. It's called the Organ Stop, and further investi­ gation revealed that it's a brand new pizza place which is built around a giant Wurlitzer Organ. Should be an interesting place to go it's opening this week.

Pre-Thanksgiving Treat: Are mid-terms late this year, or is Thanksgiving early, or am I just imagining the whole thing? Anyway, if your mid-terms are finally over and you?re looking for some­ thing to do on Tuesday Night, November 21, England's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is performing at Gammage Auditorium. Tickets range from $4.00 to $7.00. (That isn't meant to discourage anyone).

Das Tor shortly before dark . . . or, as the sun slowly sinks in the west: Don't neglect to look over to the west every evening as the sun goes down. There have been some magnificent, rosy sunsets, most stirring when the mountains are sharply silhouetted against the sky. And the best (?) part is: it's free.

FALL RECRUITING ACTIVITIES

Dr. Gulick has just returned from visits to six xollege and university campuses in Oregon and California. Mr. Arthur recently completed a ten-campus tour through Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. They report that faculty members showed even greater enthusiasm for Thunderbird than previously. Similar reports are coming in from other representatives. A dean of students, for example, said, "Now that I know about your tripartite program, I am going to urge our students to go to Thunderbird. You really put it all togeth?r."

One reason for the excellence of the faculty response is that President Voris is well known among deans and professors in colleges of business.

Dr. Gulick will go on another tour later this month. Graduates of these California institutions may wish to inform their friends of his intinereary:

California State University - Chico November 27 California State University - Sacramento November 28 University of California - Davis November 29 University of the Pacific November 30 California State University - Fresno December 1

The average enrollment at Thunderbird prior to 196H was 233, about one-third of this term's 689. The number of foriegn students has increased even more dramatically from zero in 1946, and 13 in 196«4 to the present 99.

At this point, we want to express our sincere appreciation to the many current student s who are playing a role in our extensive campus recruiting activities. We estimate that approximately 100 students have played an active part in the program this semester alone, by corresponding with the faculty and staff members, student?, fraternity and other organizations, at Llieir undergraduate univer-

page 3

sities. Furthermore, seven students have volunteered their time and energies to "hit the road" on our behalf, each for a week stretch! For instance, Steve and Don Bisbee are out now repre­ senting us on 10 campuses. Steve is doing a circuit through Oklahoma, and Don is covering a Washington intinerary. Gary Pacific is representing us on five campuses in Michigan. Richard King has completed a five-campus run in Wisconsin; while Alien Welch did similar honors for us in Nebraska, and Lyle Brumfield in Tennessee. During the week of November 27, Don Sellers will do the Wyoming-Colorado tour.

This excellent spirit of cooperation helps to explain why we are able to place representatives on approximately 250 campuses during a ninety-day period this fall, and why we are now in a posi­

tion to cover nearly MOO campuses a year!Admissions Office

VERHAELTNISWAHLRECHT IN DEUTSCHLftND

Am 19. November wird einer der haertesten, teuersten und unentschiedesten Wahlkaempfe der Geschichte West Deutschlands mit Nationalwahlen zum Ende kommen. Nach der westdeutschen Wochenzeitschrift, Dgx Soiegel, soil dieser Kampf urn Bonn ein Wahlkampf um die letzte Stimme werden. n Denn die drei Hauptparteien sind sich einig: Wer am 19. November verliert, blcibt auf lange Zeit von der Macht ausgesperrt." Eine kuerzliche Umfrage weist aur,^dass die SPD, die Partei von Willy Brandt, die seit 1969 in Koalition mit der FDP regiert hat, nur M3 Prozent der Wahlberechtig- ten Stimmen hat, waehrend die CDU, die von 19M9 bis 1969 West Deutschland immer beherrscht hatte, 53 Prozent Unterstuetzung hat. Man rechnet aber mit 7 Prozent fuer die dritte Partei - FDP - was sich als der entscheidende Faktor der Wahlen herausstellen koennte.

Auf der Seite der CDU ist Bundeskanzlerkandidat Rainer Barzel und die 5,5 Prozent Inflationsrate, die viele Buerger an die Weimarer Zeiten erinnert. Barzel behauptet, dass die SPD sich als unfaehig erwiesen hat, die deutsche Wirtschaft zu kontrollieren. Seine Partei war fuer das sogenannte Wirtschaftswunder der 50'er und frueh 60'er Jahre verantwortlich.

Herr Brandt, dessen Ostpolitik die Popularitaet siener Partei erhaelt, hat aber zwei Dinge auf seiner Seite. Erstens, die niedrige persoenliche Popularitaet seines Gegners, Barzel. Man haelt ihn fuer das groesste Handikap der CDU. Zweitens, das Wahlsystem selbst. Das heisst: Das Wahlsystem in Wesr-Deutschland ist eine Mischung von Verhaeltniswahlrecht und Mehrheitswahlrecht. Die Verteilung der Sitze im Bundestag geht von dem Princip aus, dass die Haelfte der Abgeordneten in den Wahlkreisen direkt gewaehlt werden, waehrend die andere Haelfte von Landeslisten kommen. Jeder Waehler hat zwei Stimmen, eine Erststimme fuer den Wahlkreiskan- didaten und eine Zweitstimme fuer die Landesliste einer Partei. Der Waehler kann diese Stimmen trennen; er kann zum Beispiel die Direktkandidaten der CDU, aber die Landesliste der FDP waehlen. Solange eine Partei mindestens 5 Prozent der Zweitstimmen erhaelt, bekommt sie Sitze im Bundestag im Verhaeltnis zur Anzahl der Zweitstimmen. Herr Brandt verlaesst sich auf 7 Prozent der Zweitstimmen fuer die FDP, um seine regierende Koalition zu erhalten.

***********£SQPO£IIpNAL^PR£SEjjrATION IN GERMANY

On 19 November one of the hardest, most expensive and most evely_fought election campaigns in the history of West Germany politics will come to an end with national elections. According to the West German, weekly news magazine, "Der Spiegel", this battle for control of the Bonn Government will not be decided until the last vote is cast, "Because the three main parties are in silent agreement that whichever one loses on the 19th of will be barred from power for a long time." A ie«-eut public

(coiil'd)

opinion poll reveals that the Social Democratic Party (SPD) the party of Willy Brandt which has governed in coalition with the Free Democratic Party (FDP) since 1969, has only M3% of the eligible vote, while the Christian Democratic Party (CDU), which ruled West Germany from 1949 to 1969, has developed 53% support. The decisive factor, however, probably will prove to be the estimated 7% of the vote which the Free Democratics are hoping to receive.

On the side of the CDU and its candidate for chancellor, Rainer Barzel, is a 5.5% current rate of inflation, which reminds many of the older voters of the disastrous inflationary days of the Weimar Republic. Barzel claims that the SPD has proven itself incapable of controlling the german economy and points o:it that his party headed the government that was responsible for the so-called economic miracle of the 1950*s and early 60's, a period of stable prices and rapid growth.

However, Chancellor Brandt, whose policy of detente with the East has maintained some measure of popularity for his party, has two things in his favor: first, the relatively low popularity of his rival, Barzel; and second, the West German Electionsystem. Their system is a mixture of proportional representation and plurality voting. The distribution of seats in the Bundestag (Lower House of Parliament) is based on the principle that one half of the representatives are elected directly from the districts, while the other half are chosen proportionately from party lists made up by the parties in each state. Each voter has two votes, one vote for the district candidate and a second vote for the party list. The voter can split his ticket if he wishes; for example he can vote directly for the CDU candidate with the first vote and for the FDP party list with the second. As long as a party receives at least 5% of the total amount of second votes cast, it can place representatives in parliament. Willy Brandt is relying heavily on at least 7% of second votes for the FDP in order to continue his governing coalition.

ON THE MARGIN

When one has devoutly poured over Henry Risk's Principles of Management, as so many Business 3MO students have done . . . one can hardly find words enough to express himself.

So when I heard that Professor Risk was in Phoenix I". y immediately called and asked for a few moments in his busy schedule as shief consultant and main speaker at the annual Arizona Dairy Association conference. People were just then gathering outside, being fortunate enough to hear in person Dr. Risk's near immortal "The Udder Complex as a Servo System".

Somewhat awestruck, I communicated the immeasurable gratitude which I and my fellow graduate students extend to the man who has taught us so much. I wished inwardly that there might be some word of guidance and light which I could bring back to campus. Remarkably, he could read my mind. "Tell them to go, repeating unto themselves, that which I hold most dear and theirs shall be the way."

I could not have agreed more. What he then said was as representative of his scope and his pertinence as anything imaginable. It is quoted below verbatim (Ikid you not, folks) check the blue bible if you wish - Principles, ,6f Management , pg. 650

Although there is no one way of analyzing a case problem, the following suggestions have proven to be of value in developing skill in the analysis of cases. Before reading the case in its entirety note the title of the chapter and the titly of the case. The title of the chapter tells you what the chnpter is about. For example, the title ofChapter 1, "Management Defined," should convey to you that the chaptor denls with the dpfinition of management. Similarly, the tJHo -.F rh.-»t»ter 2, ~ruv iMrv.-ii nm«.ui

(cont'd)

page 6

of Management Concepts," lets you know that the chapter is concerned with the historical devel­ opment of management. Since the case problems in this textbook are an integral part of the chapter in which they appear, identifying the subject matter of the chapter often reveals the central theme of the case.

Second, the title of the case itself is of significance. Unlike many case problems, the name of the company in which the incidents described in the case occurred is not used as the title of the case. Instead, the title is a descriptive phrase related to the central theme of the case. Thus the title of Case Problem 1-A, A Problem in Management Definition, informs you immediately that the problem is one of defining management.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT ????

So you say your stomach growls so loudly that you can't hear your teacher in class??? Well here's what you can do about it. A Culinary Committee has been recently formed by some con­ cerned (and hungry) T-Birders to determine what if anything, should or can be done to improve the diet of those who eat at the mess hall.

The immediate plans of the committee deal with collecting some feedback (in form of a survey or two) concerning our food.

THE FORUM

"The Masses Are Asses"

The above comment was made at a recent ASLC meeting in response to the suggestion that the student body should be polled on the question of compensation for ASLC officers.I disagree with the comment wholeheartedly; in fact, this sort of attitude is partially responsible for my resignation from the ASLC as off-campus representative.It is not accurate to label inactivity as apathy. Many students are inactive because they have not been communicated with. Some feel they have been "ripped off" by being solicited for votes and then forgotten; others aren't- able to identify with repre­ sentatives who are aloof to their problems and concerns.What is needed is more communication as in the recent survey involving ASLC officer compensation. The question was put to the student body and was responded to by nearly 250 students. Total student enrollment is 680, meaning approximately one third of the student body responded. In my opinion this was a good response and certainly was not apathetic.I think this also proves that the masses are not asses; that is, unless you charge them with the resyuusiMli i y « * in office the originator oF tJ»o remark.

EL CAMINO REAL

Thunderbird's "El Camino Real" is progressing at amazing spead. Just last week, three more bricks were laid and more holes were dug across the accessway that leads to campus. Students, faculty and members of Dr. Voris 1 Communication Committee may well wish to know just what the finished product will afford passersby. Therefore, the Committee on the Baron's Folly presents the students with the bird's rear view of the new eighth wonder of the world.

This unfinished sysmphony in mortar would no*.-,' appear to resemble a mausoleum, as commented one administrator's secretary, a site where old Thirds could come to rest. Actually, it is rumored that by the year 1974, all $25,000 will be spent by the now defunct Lady Bird T-bird Beautification Foundation headed by the now seemingly defunct Christian Larson, Director of Special Projects, but Master of none.

In £;.! sincerity, the entrance is planned to symbolize the main icro?r-law of the Thunderbird. At the base of the foot is a sr;-l! platform upon which Dr. Voris will position his new office. The new location provides a 360 degree view of the campus and affords the President the ability to wave to each student enl-ering the campus to remind himself that indeed he is the President. In addition, a rope to the platform keeps him well away from student troublemakers attempting to bring campus problems to his attention. Mr. Larson's desk will hang half-way down the rope ladder.

When the construction foreman agreed to have the concrete driveway dyed green, Dr. Gulick immediately nominated him to Who' s Who. Dr. Baerresen, Academic V.P., immediately turned red and green with envy.

7hutvf«rMr3* s r.ew recruiting colors, red, green, will also be mirrored in the traffic light planned for the intersection of 59th and greenway. But cautionl Yellow has been reserved for the streaks down the backs of some administration members. The light will remain red for some five minutes so that James Arthur can run from car to car with form applications and pledges of tuition for passersby.

All plans were approved by Berger Erickson, fondly referred to as Scrooge and Mr. Approachability, who, with his usual attention to detail, neglected to negotiate a firm labor contract. Therefore, there is some doubt as to whether the hollow spaces created by the construction of the wall will be sufficient to store profits gen­ erated by the dining hall and school savings on the cost of living wage increases.

The Placement Office has requested that a vacancy sign, in red and green neon, be hung from the new Placement Office to be located in Weston's market as current space will be converted into open-day dormitories for ttiose students unlucky enough to receive rooms of their own. Jean Heyne, because of her rigid standards, has been promoted to House Mother. This will afford

(cont'd)

page 11

the placement director not only with the opportunity of meeting the public and placing an occasional student as customers wander into the store, but also the chance to sell a head of lettuce, a case of beer or a homey tomato.

Finally, campus police, the T-bird Beefeaters (gin), will strike a smart parade rest in their new red and green uniforms daily, displaying the different helmets from the Franco-Prussian War to the present.

A SURVEY DOESN"T ACCURACY MAKE

I am appalled at the conclusions drawn from the decent student survey conducted on campus. The results published in last week's News at Thunderbird can only be described as misleading, inaccurate-, and unscientific. My criticism does not stem from the substance of the conclusions, but with the methodology utilized to arrive at those conclusions.

The researcher first attempted to take a census of the entire student population. He then proceeded to apply a probability sampling technique to the census data. Finally, the statistical data derived from the sample was then applied to the entire population through statistical inference. This methodology can only be described as incorrect and unscientific.

Statistical inference cannot be utilized unless the probability sampling method provides every item of the universe/ population a known chance or probability, of being selected for thesample. The researcher has only derived statistical data which can be applied to the 253 answers from the census. There isabsolutely no scientific or statistical basis for infering that the random sample data used in compilation can be attributed to the entire"population, since the sample was not derived from the population. For that reason all the statistics presented under the Evaluation of Data section of the report are incorrect.

I pose this question for both the researcher and those who commissioned the research project - How could a project of this magnitude and importance, conducted at a graduate school of business, be published as fact in light of such a gross error of basic statistical procedure.

KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS

Dear Wormy and Daddy,Camp Thunderbird is so much fun. I am glad you decided

to send me here this year. Remember that poster showing people playing volleyball? Well. I'm on the volleyball team, and I also play football and basketball almost every day. But not all the activities are that organized here we have some free time, too. Most of the time, I go to our neat little clubhouse called the PUB. We make lots of noise there, but it's fun.

Remember when we got the camp catalogue and it talked about the cabins here? If Daddy's stories about the Air Force are true, I guess our bunks are just like those barracks. And, as was expected, the food is also a lot like at Uncle Sam's camp. One surprise here is the girls. You didn't tell me there would be girls here, Daddy. And they're different than the one's I'm used to here they're called Thunderchicks. I wonder what they call us guys. Another surprise is the weather. They said it never rainc in the Valley of the Sun, but we were almost flooded out last month. Can you get any money back for that?

Well, as you can see, I've been enjoying my first session at Camp Thunderbird. Everyone says the second session is even better, and they keep asking if I'm going to stay. I haven't decided yet can we afford it??

Love,Davey

In reference to ray letter of October 6, 1972, my apology is given to Mr. Klinger for calling him a "right-winger." To Mr. Richard Rochford I also extend my apology for the belligerent manner in which I conducted my interview with hif on Nov. 7.

In addition, I would like to thank all of you who contri­ buted either suggestions or input to my committee.

After an extensive, although still incomplete investigation of the bookstore and its policies, the following suggestions are made:

1. Mr. Klinger, Mr. Rochford (bursar), and Mr. R. L. Gulick, Dean of Admissions and registrar should, without further delay, institute formal pre-registration beginning in the spring semester and for every semester thereafter. Reliance on "guesstimates" from the faculty and/or their secretaries should be eliminated. Transcripts of prospective first semester students should be analyzed and they should be notified by mail, prior to arrival at TGSIM, the courses, if any, from which they are exempt. Statistical an­ alysis should also be implemented to predict what courses prospective first semester students will take. This should eliminate most of tte guess work in ordering texts in the future.

2. Curriculum changes should not be made in a haphazard, last minute fashion. Faculty and students should be given at least a semester's advance notice before such changes occur.

3. A written policy of the bookstore's operating policies should be made available for general student information. This policy should explain how and why the bookstore operates as it does and the services offered the student.

U. The hours of the bookstore should be changed to operate from 9:00 a.m. to M:00 p.jn.

5. Inventory should be conducted after operating hours or on Saturday.

6. An expansion of magazine and other publication titles is possible. Strong's News Agency, who presently supplies TGSIM stocks 250 different titles. Mr. Klinger only need request a change from his special handling account to a regular account. No loss in profit will result from this expansion because of a guaranteed sale policy at Strong's. Whatever is not sold, will be repurchased by the News Agency.

7. Strong's Agency also stocks 600,000 titles in paperbacks. Specialty titles and series are available and what Strong's does not have or handle, it will order.

8. Alta records, distributor for TGSIM , will expand the present selection of LP's in the bookstore. For a minimal investment of $1200-1500, a stock of MOO records covering all catagories of music is available. Keeping the selection current and taking inventory would be done by Alta. Mr. Klinger would only have to ring the sale. His profit margin would be 33-1/3 percent. For specialty orders, a Schwann catalogue should be made available to the students. Special record orders would be placed through the bookstore, as are special orders for books.

9. The Panasonic distributor for the Phoenix area is willing to provide the bookstore with » limited dealership with the same type of service arrangement that RCA now provides TGSIM Panasonic's warranty is the same for its lowest priced model and expands terms of the warranty as price increases. Cassette recorders start at $29.95, $5.00 cheaper than the RCA model;,presently in the bookstore and is of a nicer appearance and quality. Panasonic is also a fair trade item, which simply means that no one.dealer can sell this item at a price higher or lower than some other dealer. Mr. Klinger might also consider selling cassettes, both blank and pre-taped.

10. Given that Mr. Klinger's excuses for being low or out of stock in school supplies are unique and ingenious, it is suggested that he spend more time on the phone ordering thes? supplies and keeping them in stock and less time making excuses.

11. The large table for books should be eliminated and a case with slots installed.

12. Special services available to the student via the bookstore should be published in "Das Tor" and "News at Thunderbird" at the beginning of each semester.

THE THUNDERBIRD THEATRE?Christmas Season draws nearer and many of us eagerly look

forward to celebrate that blessed day with our dear ones.Prior to going our diverse paths, it would be .great fun for

all to get together to share the inspirational joys of a Christmas Pageant. We could stage a oini-play in our auditorium. A Thunder- bird chorus could perform Christmas carols.

There has to be enough "Hams" here to cast a super production, (who whould like to play baby Jesus?) Who says our girls and guys can't get together and blend their mellifluous voices in sweet harmony?

Let's do it!Those interested in participating in the play or chorus,

contact yours truly.Gene Lewis

FROM: ACADEMIC EVALUATION COMMITTEERE: Report on findings on language evaluation.(Our committee appreciates the effort Das Tor is making in

bringing valuable information to the student body. We would appreciate having the entire report, as submitted, published in this week's issur.)

Begin:In general, the Academic Evaluation is concerned with evaluating

each professor and each class. In this, our first report on language, the Committee has condensed the comments received during the test week of October 23. The remarks are taken directly from the comment sheets.

Many students voiced concern over certain classes and/or professors. Yet, the IBM survey results which are now being tabulated do not reflect this concern. We therefore ask students to remember that in marking the survey answer card, a "C", or

"middle" response is satisfactory and unsatisfactory responses should be entered in the "D" and "E" spaces.

The campus-wide survey will take place the week following Thanksgiving vacation. We encourage all students to attend class that week and voice their approval or disapproval with classes and professors.

Remember, positive change cannot come about unless problem areas are noted. We ask your assistance in helping us spot poor and excellent professors and classes.

Those wishing to help tabulate the survey are asked to contact either Phil Gibson #7M69 or Steve Toms #7477. We do need your help. THUNDERBIRD LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT

Student comment sheets shed light on a number of areas that should be investigated. Rather than comments on professor or specific classes, many students voiced concern over the rigid structure of the language department itself. Highest on the list of suggestions for improvement was the devotion of more time for free conversation. Secondly, tape quality proved to be inferior to outright inaudible in many languages. Thirdly, students questioned the vocabulary taught and asked for more emphasis in business terms and social exposure befitting an international executive. Finally, sandbagging, that age old "getting by in a class in which you obviously are superior" should be examined. Placement tests should be improved. In addition, there was concern expressed over the ability of eome instructors to attempt to work with students and understand their problems. The following language evaluations were com­ pleted by various members'of the Academic Evaluation Committee. FRENCH

Students of French talked more about the organization of the class than the instructor. In particular, mention was made that the classes were too structured and that teachers did not have enough freedom to work with the class as the situation demanded. Another important factor was brought out as to the validity of one language piograin lieiug applicable to another i.e.

why teach Japanese like French.Language tapes were mentioned consistently as being inade­

quate. Most students complained that they could not understand what was being said well enough to repeat it.

As to improvements/criticisms: A/ Most students requested more free conversation B/ Classes too highly structured C/ Poor correlation between conversation and grammar with respect to timing D/ Requirements were not high enough and instructor did not maintain control E/ Over-qualified students in classes with beginners F/ Free conversations for Fridays because of speaking continuity throughout the week.

The following instructors were especially praised for their classroom performance: E. Parshall, E. White, R. Laugier, E. Bosc and A. Klein.

---J. Dyscn PORTUGUESE

Student comments in the Portuguese department dealt almost entirely with class structure. Tapes were mentioned as being deficient in quality and in need of an accompanying text. Comments on the instructors were few, but always favorable.

In both 300A and B, students felt the class hour to be too structured. In the former, there was frustration expressed at the number of dialogues having to be memorized without a text and taking so much of the class hour to be checked. 300B students felt their class hour to be too rigid as to how long discussions could go on and as to clearing up grammar difficulty in conver­ sation. The instructors are not faulted for the rigidity and when mentioned, are usually praised for their interest in the students and classroom presentation.

J. Spencer SPANISH

Many professors rated high praise from Spanish students while a few were singled out for not attempting to understand student difficulties and demonstrating enough patience in con­ ducting classes. This may stem from what students termed rigid course structure and lack of free conversation.

Spanish students would like to learn more business vocabu­ lary in their dialogues and request the department to make copies of these dialogues available to them after memori^ing them for class. Students in 300A expressed dissatisfaction with the place­ ment exams and disliked having experienced students in class with them. 300B classes ask why students have to have pro­ fessors change classes. "Afterall," commented one, "when an American travels to Alabama he does not speak English with a drawl." Tapes were also singled out as too hard to understand.

Of major concern and a valid point for possible revision are the texts used in 400 classes. Time and time again, students expressed dissatisfaction with both El Tunel and La Sombra del Caudillo. Complicated vocabulary and lack of practical business value were cited as reasons for selecting new reading material.

As already stated, a few professors were singled out for their inability to relate well with students in their classes. The following were taken directly from the comment sheets. Students in Dr. Carrillo's class felt he was unwilling to cover topics or problems of interest to students and either ignored them or referred them to the grammar professor. Unapproachable, unsympathetic and antagonistic when asked to repeat were also attributed to Dr. Carrillo as if he lacked the desire to teach.

Mr. Perez was said to favor the good students and, like Dr. Carrillo, seemed to be only going through the motions in the classroom. Excitable, loud and nervous, Mr. Perez is asked to Calm down lo case students into productive lartgnngc s»lui]y and create a good atmosphere of learning in class.

The following professors were highly praised by their students: C. Estes, E. Dietrich, C. Boiler and C. Call,

P. Gibson ENGLISH

Student comments on English were very limited. The need to keep classes as small as possible as well as a desire for language tapes for use in pronunciation was mentioned. There is an apparent desire for higher level courses as well.

JAPANESEThough the Japanese department was praised to some extent,

the profusion of comments centered on class structure. Students complain that the language is not well co-ordinated with grammar, that the amount of material is too vast for retention, that reading systems and grammar are not given enough time. There is general acknowledgement that Japanese should not be taught in the manner of other Thunderbird language classes and that the students, the professors and the course are laboring under an arbitrary and artificial system.

It was emphasized that due to the structure of the course and the nature of the language, Japanese students have a much lower comprehension and conversational ability than their peers in other language departments. More practice is requested.

Grammar needs more attention, time and perhaps a book.Tapes and pronunciation exercises in class need a lot of work.Work is not split evenly between days of class. There are

some light days and some extremely heavy days. Again the struc­ ture of the program is at fault.

The ability to read and write Japanese, as aquired at Thunderbird, is largely thought of as a complete waste of time. Perhaps a special class, just for this, should be established.

Mrs. Y. Akutsu should not conduct the class so rigidly. Additionally, time and care should be taken to insure that students understand new material.

Japanese students at Thunderbird generally attribute any. success in the Japanese program to Mr. Chang and his staff. Thus despite its many structural faults, students tend to consider Japanese as the best course they are taking at Thunderbird.

S. Toms GERMAN

In German 300A the predominate critique involves the poor quality of the language tapes. Since this unique feature of the Thunderbird language program is aimed at developing an "ear" it seems incomprehensible that the department has allowed the quality of the tapes to degenerate to a stage of complete worthlessness. There appears to be a fairly high level of satisfaction in the German 300B level classes. The most persistent comments referred to the "sandbagging" phenomenon and the need for more spontaneous classroom conversation. German l!00 criticism revolves around sandbagging and the resultant competition for grades and pressures in class. The solution is apparently a pass-fail system for languages or a more effec­ tive screening process that would allow students to compete on equal levels. In any event the present system is seen to inhibit learning at all levels and must be corrected.

Frau Bosc has been singled out as "an outstanding teacher who leads a relaxed class with no sacrifice to class content" and Frau Schutte has been called a "vibtanr, aggressive and enthusiastic instructor".
