ASLC BoxByBobGreenfield

ASLC President As 1 mentioned in my

previous column I will be us­ ing this space to inform you of our progress on various issues and to keep you in touch with some of the more significant developments. To begin, I have changed the format of toe weekly ASLC meeting which DOW leads off with the Treasurers report (a weekly update ioclading recommen­ dations of the finance commit­ tee, which is operational).The second now consists of issues brought by the various ASLC representatives and commit­ tee members. The third item is yours. It is an open forum where you can come to pre­ sent yoor views with recom­ mended solutions to the ASLC. I encourage you to use this time so that we can generate the maximum input by the students in all areas (academic, social and cultural). The fourth item will be weekly updates by the various committees (both special, such as the Constitu­ tional reform, and ongoing). I encourage you to attend the meetings to give your input. Remember you have all the rights of an ASLC rep. or com- m it tee person at these meetings, except motion mak­ ing and voting privileges.

Speaking of voting, while you may think, thank God the last election is over, we will have yet another highly com­ prehensive election and referendum coming up on December 2. 1981. This elec­ tion will involve proposed changes in the constitution, will elect new officers (V.P. and Treasurer) and commit­ tee persons, and will conduct a poll of graduating students for their favorite teacher. While it is still a few weeks away it is important for you to con­ template the personal decision involved in deciding whether to run for one of these offices or not Also, now is the time to contact committee chairper­ sons to learn about their Jobs and to share ideas on bow it could be better next semester. Also, many of them are in the implementation stage for their committee, an example of which is Andre Lavigne (teacher) Evaluation Com­ mittee, and they could use your help. In addition, there is the all important issue of finishing off the proposed changes in the constitution. While the committee has made great progress, they could use your input. So don't be bashful, reticent, or shy, get Involved sow tbis semester. We need your ideas/suggestions.

Have you ever noticed an eerie social distance between the AGSIM community and Glendale, the real community we are situated smack in the middle of?

For almost a year now I've detected a subtle reluctance on the part of T-birds to take advantage of what Glendale has to offer. Sure, we've all been to the restaurants, bars, and mom-houses, but Glen- dak is much more than that Granted, it's not a large city by any means, but it does have that unique western hospitali­ ty and warmth only a medium-sized city in Arizona can offer.

Take advantage of Glen- dak, a truly "living" city.

November alone promises a busy social calendar. Hear the Community Band Concert and Jazz Ensemble at Glendale Community College on the 23rd. At Community Park, see the Men's Singles Baquetball Tournament. If you'd rather play than watch, sign up by the Bth. GCC Performing Arts Center has one-act plays, free admission, on the 19th and 20th. For all you softball

fans, November 20-22 is the Glendale Classic Slowpitcfa Softball Tournament.

Do you want to just relax and hob-nob with the City Fathers (and Mothers)? Then make reservations to attend the Chamber of Commerce Luncheon in the Glendale Community Building on the 17th. If grafitti is the only art yoo've seen in a whfle, go to the GCC Art Show on the 16th, 19th, 23rd, or the 26th. It's free, and will feature "Ten Western Print Makers." For those of yew interested in Mex­ ico. Dr. LeonDeene will speak on "Mexico's Oil Bonanza" on the 18th in the GCC student lounge.

Legal problems? Learn bow to represent yourself in small- claims court. A seminar on the topic will be given at the Vetoa Teague ybrary on the 18th.

That's just the tip of the "Glendale Iceberg." Break out of the campus rut and get involved in your city.

Glendak is a tot like a bottle of 7-Up. If "you like it, it likes you." But if you choose to spend ALL your free time in the Pub, that's your business, and a sad business indeed.

InterAd

Professor Schlesinger will in­ terview students interested in applying for Spring enroll­ ment in either the InterAd course or his section of WB-550 - International Marketing Pro­ jects Workshop, during office

gastronomic, auricular or whatever. I can help.

Please contact me, Ann Rosen, informally on campus, through my mailbox 821, or at the ASLC office Monday and Wednesday l:30-2:30pm.

Campus Notes

InterAd - Week of November 9

WB-550 - Week of November 16

Sign-up sheets for appoint­ ments are posted outside of World Business office "2. Pick up an application form in the World Business Depart­ ment office, fin it out and br­ ing it with you to the inter­ view.

Ombudsperson

Any Problems, Grievances, or Suggestions?

The Ombudsperson acts as a direct liaison between the students and the Administra­ tion/faculty. If you have a dif­ ficulty, be it academic,

Good news to those of you who reside in East and West Dorms. Maid service will be provided on a weekly basis. The housekeepers ask that you keep the bathrooms free of doming so they can do their job more efficiently. So throw away your plastic gloves and Comet.. ...back to the books.

HelpFor some of the out of town

balloonists we need additional chase vehicles. For students who have a 4-wheel drive Jeep or a st'd pick-up, this is an ex­ cellent opportunity to par­ ticipate in the race and be a member of a pilot's crew. Please contact the Balloon Of­ fice ext 7208 or Brent Amund- son 978-7352, Box 138.

Dear Editor:The pub is the victim of low

income students who cannot offer themselves, or don't want to offer themselves pit­ chers. Facing tins stealing problem, the pub could nose its prices which would be in­ flationary and would in the long term...reduce de- mand...unless one thinks that the demand for beer is totally inelastic! I would not dare make a value judgement about that.

There is still a solution: in­ stead of increasing the price, I would suggest that for any drink served in a pitcher, the pub asks for the price of the drink phis a 101 or 25' charge for OK pitcher. Once the beer was drunk the customer would have to bring his pitcher back to the bar in order to get his "pitcher charge" back.

Indeed, this means the bar would have to cany a tot of small change. On the other hand, our dear bartenders would no longer need to go out­ side collecting empty pit­ chers, for if some students forget to bring their pitchers back, there will always be other capitalistic minded students eager to make a dime by bringing the pitchers back to the bar.

Charles Frederick Cbenu. Box 367

Letters To The EditorDear Editor;

I tope all is well in sunny Arizona. Getting readjusted to the blustery fall weather in Il­ linois is going to take a while. However, 1 have found Peoria deserving of a better reputa­ tion than it has currently.

I recently completed the six­ teen week Caterpillar Train­ ing Program and have taken a staff assignment jo the Parts and Service Sates .Depart­ ment. The reputation tliat the Caterpillar Training Program has garnished at Thunderfoird is certainly well deserved I

am surprised at tow much in­ formation we were expected to learn during (be program.It was a rt»all»ngine «„perience with many potential long-term rewards. Certainly now I am better prepared to commence an international career in technical marketing.

When the recruiter tram Caterpillar arrives this fan, I and my fellow Cat-T-Birds would appreciate your en-

interested .students to inter­ view.

Why Lift Off Early?Aii oi the baiioons participating in the Thunderbird Invitational

Balloon Race are not air balloons. The basic principle of their opera­ tion is that tbey obtain their lift from air kept not by the Burner. The Burners of these balloons use propane as fuel. The relatively low cost of propane has contributed greatly to the tremendous growth in popularity of ballooning as a sport in recent year.

Gas ballooning is extremely expensive. To fill a balloon capable of carrying three passengers would cost about $1,500. Hydrogen for the same balloon would cost approximately $800. However, It is extremely flammable, so is dangerous to use. Propane for a similar balloon costs from $10 to $15.

Balloon flights usually take place shortly after sunrise or a bit before sunset because air movement is generally at a minimum at these times of the day. Mornings are preferred, since the air is coolerSlid O>* balfebn Has moniJfn "A«"Ourdmy"««*»"i«^»»r «mJ U>«. groundbeats up, uneven wanning of the land surface causes winds to rise and vertical wind currents to develop. These are called "tbermals" and can be a hazard to balloon control.

Perhaps now you'll understand why the Lift-Off is scheduled so ear­ ly each morning. It's a matter of necessity-not a sadistic whim of the balloooists, or the Balloon Race Committee!

Who Are Friends Of Thunderbird?

Friends of Thunderbird, an auxiliary organization of AGSQI was founded to 1973 at the instigation of Ma vis Voris, wife of president Voris. Membership is made up of people in the Valley who have an interest in AGSIM, its goals and students, and also in­ cludes some faculty members, some staff and some local alumni.

The campus services pro­ vided by F.O.T. include tne reception for new students each semester, and a home hospitality program for

foreign students.In addition, F.O.T. provided

the school sign located near the soccer field, facing 59th Avenue. The photographs of American Indians in the Goldwater Lounge were presented to the school by the F.O.T. along with Senator Goldwater, the photographer.

The biggest project of the F.O.T. is the annual Thunder- bird Invitational Balloon Race which generates funds for a scholarship fund. The race is scheduled for November 14 and 15 this year.

Where To Park ItWe nope you are as excited*

as we are about the upcoming Thunderbird Balloon Race. Those of you who were here last year will remember bow the compos was transformed for two days with crowds and excitement We expect even more people this year.

Parking is one of our major sources of income, so we will have to ask some of you to change your parking place for that weekend. Please use Greenway entrance. The main gate will be blocked. There will be a charge of $3.00 to enter through any other gate. AGSIM stickers and people with passes will allow entry

through the Greenway en­ trance without charge.

Please park by tne post of­ fice, or East Apartments, unless you are actively engag­ ed in the race. There will be no parking in the area in front of the World Business Office, and no parking behind or beside the new classroom building. The area around the Library, West Apartments, Placement Center and Hangar will nave to be reserved for the more than 300 Balloon Race Workers, vehicles and trucks supplying the field.

Thank you for your coopera­ tion and we'll see you on the field November 14th and 15tb.

Balloon Questions And Answers

How big are they?Diameter of the average bag is 50 feet; height is

76 feet; volume is 57,086 cti. ft. He range in size varies from 40 feet diameter/22.000 cu. ft. to 90 feet diameter/140,000 cu. ft. for the really big ones. What are they made of?

The Envelope (bag) is made of reinforced nylon fabric called rip-stop nylon. It is very light U.3 oz. per sq. yd. > but very strong (K Ibs per sq. inch). This fabric is used because it will not support a flame and retains its strength in such a such a way that any tears in it win not "run." Nylon webbing bands called load tapes span Uie balloon What happens il the envelope gets a note in it?

Holes of up to one square foot do not cause any concern. However, an accumulation of boles will slow tne rate of ascent and accelerate tne rate of descent.

Some boles may be seen around the bottoo of the Envelope where the flame touched during inflation and melted the fabric. These are readily patched between flights. How safe is ballooning?

In all sports there is an acceptable risk to per­ sonal safety. This is true of sport ballooning. Fast or heavy landings can result in body bruises and on rare occasions strained or broken limbs. Overall, however, sport ballooning has a good safety record. How long can tbey stay up?

Normally, about 2Vs hours, depending on the air temperature and weight carrier. On a cold day with only one person in the Basket, a flight of 34 hours would not be unusual. How high can tbey go?

It is unusual for sport balloons to fly above 8,000 feet. They usually fly at 1,000 feet or less. Most balloonists prefer to fly at 250-500 feet. From that vantage point tbey car hear the dogs harking and sometimes even converse with people on the ground (when the Burner is not blasting). How fast can they go?

As fast as the wind blows. But if the wind velocity is more than 8 mph at ground level, the balloonists usually will not inflate. What kind of fuel is used?

The propane used is the common variety, which

can be purchased almost anywhere. Each balloon caries at least 20 gallons; some may carry much more, depending on the profile of the flight Pro­ pane is a very stable, predictable, highly efficient fuel. It is carried in liquid form, under pressure, in the tanks. By flexible hoses it is routed to the Burners, where it is atomized and ignited as it is directed upwards into the balloon. The flame may snoot out six to eight feet in the blast, controlled by the pilot, of course. How much does a baDoon cost?

The average sport balloon costs from $5,000 to $6,000. This includes the Envelope, Gondola. Fuel Tanks and Instruments; but does not include any ground support equipment. Some balloons may cost as tow as $3.500, while others could be in excess of $10,000 depending on the size plus choice of or­ namental color schemes and optional equipment. A fairly recent development is the availability of do-it- yourself tits. There are several balloon dealers in the Phoenix area (check the Yellow Pages or call the Arizona Balloon Club, 945-1150). How long wffl tbey last?

With the modern fabric, the "retirement age" of a sport balloon has greatly extended. There are many variables, such as the number of flying hours; now well or how badly the balloon has been treated 'i.e. bow many fences or cacti it has been dragged through and bow many heavy landings it has suf­ fered) ; whether the ground/chase crews have given it TLC (tender loving care); and even the storage conditions. In general, it may be said that a six year old balloon with 500-plus flying hours is considered a "senior aerstat." How can one become a balloonist?

Again, either contact the Arizona Balloon (Hub S945-1150) or check the Yellow Pages for a deafer <'»uO not eoiy sells bauoons but arranges for in­ struction}.

To get a Private License, you must have at least 10 hours of flying time, including a solo flight; go to Ground School and learn enough to pass a written FFA test; have a satisfactory check-ride with an FAA Examiner. Then it's Up, Up, and Away-with the best wishes of an for good winds and soft lan­ dings.

Friends of Thunderbirding events since last January.Th«y hav<- also received quitea bit of help from the Glendale Chamber of Commerce and expect about 400 community volunteers to be on band on Saturday to help with parking, etc.

Jon Iger was in charge of soliciting free performances from professional enter­ tainers. Among them are belly dancer Saharra Hathor, bonkytonk pianist Nate Kl- inger (son of AGSIM's Bob Kl- inger of Support Services), Carl Watson and the Rojoe Band, Dolan Ellis (Arizona's one and only official Balladeer, and proprietor of the Tuba City Truck Stop and Country Club in Scottsdale), the Phoenix Scottish Pipe Band, Gaynell Hodge, the Neon Cactus, and other Arizona songwriters. The Masters of Ceremonies both days will be air personnel from KNIX and KBBC.

There will also be plenty of "native" AGSIM talent flying around, including Ramblin' Rob and the Tennessee Choir­ boys, Alan Goodman, tne Thunderbird International Jazz Ensemble, and Rudi Steenhuisen and Dawn Packer with Shinichro Kyozawa. An Arts and Crafts display and sale is also in the lineup, as well as dub booths.

According to Mrs. Kay Lodge of the Friends of Thunderbird, there will be 23 booths selling food this weekend, of which seven are going to be run by AGSIM foreign language clubs, eight by AGSIM professional and social clubs, and eight by in­ dependent organizations. In­ cluded among the exotic foods to be sold are fejoada, falafel, croissants, gyoza, scones and soppapilla. The organizations keep any profit they make on

boutique where spectators can buy, among other things, balloon race T-shirts.

Contrary to what its name might imply, the Balloon Race is not a "race." There are three events scheduled for the weekend, the "Bandit and Posse," the "Chicken Drop," and the "Pick-Up Pick-Up."

Tne "Bandit and Posse" event, more commonly known as the "Hare and Hound," is the main event One Don- competing balloon, known as the Bandit, is launched about 15 minutes before the others. The Bandit lands no more than an boor away, and its crew places a large "X" out as the target for the other 81 balloons, or Posse. After three hours, the target is folded up and the Posse baDoon which landed closest to the target is awarded the most points, and the others are scored on their respective proximity to the target

The "Chicken Drop," or Convergent Navigational Tra­ jectory Event (CNTE) is quite different The doth "X" wfll be placed on the AGSIM field in plain view of the spectators, and the balloons will be laun­ ched from at least two miles away (farther if specified by

Balloonmeister Craig Eisenberg). The objective is to drop a marker from the balloon to the field as close as

possible to the target The closest marker scores the most points with decreasing scores as distance from the target increases.

The "Pick-Up Pfck-Up" is another interesting event. Keys will be placed on the top of a 12-foot pole, and balloons are launched from two (or more) miles away. The idea here is that a balloon passenger grabs the keys as (s)be floats by. The keys are for a new pick-up truck.

Prizes for the winners of the Balloon Race were made by Mr. Hannis f-atham noted goldsmith and alumnus of AGSIM. Additional ar­ rangements were made in cooperation with committee chairperson Brent Amundson (student crews and scorers), Kimberly Comer and Tracy Berglund (entertainment), Helen and Steve Viggiano (food booths), Nancy Laxson (international dinner and "Calcutta"), Jennie Conner (T-shirts), and all the many other students who worked with them under Jayce Vivian (overall student coordinator) and her assistant, Taytor.

Golf Tourney A Hole In One

Sportsi.-l

November If, fill—DAS TOR-5

ByAngieLinkIt was a clear and beautiful

Saturday for the AGSIM golf tournament held at the Mc- Cormick Ranch golf course the 31st of October. There were 54 participants including IS alumni, 3 teachers, am! 2 women. In addition to the players, 12 AGSIM ladies helped score for the event.

The tournament was scheduled to begin all o'clock but due to dub complications, the teams were not able to tee- off until 2 o'clock. However this did not dampen the excite­ ment of the players. Many of the golfers felt somewhat discouraged after losing their fifth ball in one of the many water holes or in a fenced backyard of the houses sur­ rounding the course. Also, the two female participants, Catherine Stolpe and Mrs. Liu, certainly gave the raen a run for their money.

Because of the delay, many of the golfers had a tricky time

playing their last 2 holes in total darkness. Since more than half of the teams were not able to complete 18 boles, the tournament committee decided that they would award the prizes by a general lottery. Some of the prizes included 2 sets of golf clubs, golf balls, and other golf paraphernalia. Special prizes were awarded to Nick Mast for the longest drive and Ed Holden for driv­ ing the closest to the pin on a par 3.

The 19th bole activities were at the pub where everyone en­ joyed barbeque chicken and beer especially prepared by Pete Fischler and Donna Papaj.

Next semester the tourna­ ment will be held again at the McConnick Ranch as they have offered to have us back at a special reduced rate since there was a delay. Congratula­ tions to all of the players and we'll see you next spring.

Birds Shake

AirForce

byFuipBavse On Sunday, Oct. 25, the

Thunderbird soccer team in "una fiesta de goles" demolished the Williams Air Force team 7-0 in what was a true exhibition of the game of soccer.

After a shaky 3-1 loss in their season opener the Tbundertirdshave rebounded with four straight wins, ac­ complishing to score 19 goals while only permitting 3 goals to be scored against them. They have accomplished this with a team characterized by a steady "wall like" defense, a laboriously working midfield and an erratic but explosive offense; featuring such plays as Bernd Metzder kamakazi runs, Willy Sono's dancing

plays, that end up with him laying on the grass, and the spectacular ball interceptions of the defensive duo of Erik HoKz and Santiago LJuch.

Upcoming events on the team's calender are a " fan appreciation afternoon*' and the end-of-tbe-semester game in honor of all graduating Thunderbirds.

The Tbunderbirds in keep­ ing with the AGSIM spirit have put together a truly international' team, so if you want to increase your vocabulary come out on Sun­ day afternoons and pick up some Spanish, Dutch, Ger­ man, French and ....English. After all, isn't this what AGSIM is all about??

Something To Ponder

Think, Then Drink: Opiate Of The MassesStatistics are more than

numbers - they're accumula­ tions of human beings. And if, as the saying goes, "statistics lie," they also reveal truths about society.

In the case of alcohol addic­ tion, statistics tell a tragic but Important story, one that could awaken us to the vast scope of this country's third leading cause of death (the first of many telling statistics

in this article).Of every 10 people in the

United States, one cannot con­ trol bis or her drinking. Each of these, in turn, disrupts the lives of roughly four others, a total of nearly 90 million Americans. Put another way, about« per cent of everyone in this country either is ad­ dicted to alcohol or is directly affected by someone wbo is.

Thanks From Placement Committee

Career Day, Friday October 23, 1981, was a success! The event offered a rare and uni- <fX opportunity for both in­ formal and personal discus­ sions with executives and ex­ perts representing a wide range of fields. For those students who attended, Career Day proved to be a valuable contact and a good source of information. Some students sought general information 'while others strove to find ways to mold their resumes to meet the criteria of firms in their 'fields of interest. Throughout the entire two and one-half hour period students were casually milling about the auditorium, from table to table, chair to chair. It was thus hi a relaxed atmosphere that students were able to search out the real-life aspects and opportunities for careers in Banking, Finance, Accoun- ting, Import-Export, Marketing/Sales, Consulting, and Human Resource

The Placement Committee, who sponsored the event, would like to thank the many students and administrators for then- participation and at­ tendance in mating Career Day a success. The committee also wishes to convey a special thanks to the executives and

experts wbo were able to devote their time and energy in making it all possible:

been conducted on this epidemic, but much remains unknown. What researchers are finding almost daily is that the more they study alcohol addiction, the more wide­ spread, complicated and damaging its implications.

We now know, for example, that alcoholism is the second leading cause of birth defects in the U.S. When the mother- to-be drinks, her unborn baby drinks; the effects on the fragile fetus can be perma­ nent and devastating.

Consider, also, these figures from the National Council on Alcoholism and the Depart­ ment of Transportation: alcohol use is responsible for fully 80 per cent of fire deaths, 65 percent of drowuings, 77 per cent of falls, SO per cent of fatal collisions, 55 per cent of arrests, 44 per cent of air crashes, 30 per cent of pedestrian accidents and 22 per cent of accidents in home.

Worse, a relatively small part of the population is caus­ ing a disproportionate percen­ tage of these troubles.. It's estimated that half of all li­ quor sold is bought by only 6 per cent of the population.

However, drinking is such an accepted - even encourag­ ed - part of everyday life that a little excess here and there is easily rationalized away. That makes treating alcohol addiction more difficult because the climate of accep­ tance makes it harder to spot in the first place.

Even doctors usually are not trained to detect the early signs of alcoholism at a stage when the disease is more responsive to treatment. They subscribe to many of the same generalizations as the non- medical population, and more often than not these stereotypes are false.

For instance, the public drunk, toe classic Skid Road bum, accounts for only 3 to 5 per cent of all addicted drinkers. The remainder are your neighbor, your child's teacher, your minister - even

your doctor.There's no typical alcoholic,

but certain cultural and regional trends have emerg­ ed. Interestingly, many religious and ethnic groups whose members use wine and other alcoholic beverages

of addiction. Orthodox Jews, Greeks, Spaniards, Italians, Chinese and Lebanese have few alcohol problems despite almost universal, regular use. On the other hand, France, also with almost universal use, has UK highest rate of alcoholism in the world.

Erick M. Davis, M.D., medical director of Seattle's Scnick Sfaadel Hospital, dissolved another stereotypical myth when be pointed out that, of the 10 per cent of the American work force whose drinking is out of control. 45 per cent are in up­ per management

"The vast majority of alcohol addicts have families, homes and steady employ­ ment," Dr. Davis said. "But alcoholism is a progressive fticpa<a> which, if untreated, will gradually claim more and more of its victims'lives until nothing else is left"

Dr. Davis and others in the research and medical profes­ sions recently have begun to meticulously avoid referring to addicted drinkers as "be". They are finding that not only are there more female alcoholics than previously suspected, they also have special problems related to their physiology and their role in society.

The number of known women addicts has doubled since World War II; they are said to be more visible and more numerous now. And studies have established that women become intoxicated more quickly than men, even when average weight dif­ ferences are adjusted.

Other physical findings in­ clude women's particular susceptibility to alcohol just before menstruation and their longer period of intoxication

when taking birth-control pills.

In addition, there are pshycbological factors at work. There is more denial of the problem of alcoholism if a woman is involved. Even many taw enforcement of-

way; thoughfor 30 to 50 per cent of aDalcohol addicts, only IS percent of citations for drivingwhile intoxicated are issued tothem.

Women are also more likely to be addicted to both alcohol and some other mood-altering drag such as Valium. Betty Ford is the most famous ex­ ample, but she is by no means alone.

The addicted woman is left by nine of ten husbands whfle the reverse is true in situa­ tions where the husband is the one with the problem. Wives, too, are more likely to seek outside help for their husbands or themselves, Dr. Davis adds.

The human economic costs of alcohol addiction are im­ mense. Scnick ShadeJ's Dr. Davis, who is a firsthand witness to bom every day, points this out: "The economic impact is bad enough - we know Oat the cost of all alcohol-related pro­ blems in this country out­ weighs liquor revenue by four to one, and people spend billions every year on liquor.

"But no statistics, no numbers with dollar-signs in front of them, can begin to describe the human agony people wbo are addicted to alcohol go through, often for years. We see the studies, and they're impressive; but, mainly, we see the people."

Graduation-front

It's flyback time again: the season in which T-birds stretch their wings to leave the AGSIM and fly to pro­ spective employers" corporate headquarters at the employers' expense. This is the time that corporations across America get the chance to see first hand the highly acclaimed Thunder- bird. Fortunately, the source of the Thunderbird mystique tradition and the quality reputation comes from each individual T-btrd. It involves pride; pride in themselves and pride in this fine institution. Hie road has been tough to the mountain of success AGSIM enjoys-but bow easy it is for just a few to push us down, to destroy our reputation by thoughtless, selfish acts.

To be one's self when on a flyback is important. Even more important is not to take advantage of the prospective employers. Such actions though temporarily ad­ vantageous to the student, results in a rejection from that company and a loss of prestige for this school.

When on a flyback it is a must to remember your mission-to get a Job! It is not a vacation nor an all-expense paid tear. Use conssss sense and preserve your reputation as well as the Thunderbird mystique. As an aid to toe bewildered, the following seven points are given as a guideline:

1.Prospective employers generally expect to reimburse candidates for their reasonable travel expenses in the same manner that they reimburse their ownfrnptavtva for simitar ox pcnses.2.Candidates taking office visits in the metropolitan area of their home are generally ex- ; pected to stay at home rather S than at a hotel when overnight travel is required.3.Candidates are expected to take toe most reasonable means of transportation to the

counted and the cash registers are back in storage, the Bizarre Bazaar was a success once again.

Financial Aids Director Louise Gifford says that she is "extremely pleased with the fantastic results," as this semester's sale netted nearly $1900, compared with the Spr­ ing '81 total of $1235. Mrs. Gif­ ford attributes the success to several factors: good weather, Susan Lang and her diligent staff, and perfect tim­ ing (just before Carnaval). Also, Bizarre Bazaar T-shirts turned a $77 profit and pre- saJes of $320 contributed to the success story.

The entire 1900 Bizarre Bucks will go into the Emergency Student Loan Fund, which makes small loans (up to $30) to needy students for a period of 30 days at no interest.

Other sources for the ELF include student and club dona­ tion, and ASLC appropria­ tions.

Last year the ELF made $21,000 in loans to students. The entire AGSIM community owes G if ford and Co. a hearty round of applause and wishes them even better success with their next venture. Bizarre Bazaar, Spring '82,

Room service and expensive restaurants should be a voided when possible.5.Entertainment expenses such as movies in the room, magazines, etc., are not generally considered reim­ bursable.6.When a candidate is visiting more than one prospective employer on a trip, it is generally expected that ex­ penses will be split equally by the organizations being visited.7.Expense reimbursement policies vary from organiza­ tion to organization.

The Carefree Resort has two pools, tennis courts. borsebackridmg. golf courses. two gift shops, a breakfast. room, and two restaurants. Reservations for parents wishing to dine apart from the "rowdy" students may be made for the Hopi Room Restaurant at the resort. A combo plays there also.

Every fall and spring, the graduation ceremony is held outdoors on the Quad. In the summer, it is held inside at the Resort because of the heat.

A vote was held and it was decided that caps and gowns will be worn. Measurements will be taken approximately a week from this publication date. Daniel Cosentino is in charge of caps and gowns. Any questions may be refer­ red to him.

The speaker at the ceremony will be Professor Hermann Frederick Eilts. Professor of International

and Research Pro­ fessor of History and Political Science at University. Professor Eilts is from Weissenfels/Salle. Germany and was a Foreign Service Of­ ficer, He will also speak at the meeting of the Phoenix Com­ mittee on Foreip Relations on Thursday. December 17.

about the Graduation Party. Crawford. If

you wish to help. can really be until the end of November, but call Susaa then. Also volunteers will be

to with the cap and gown measurements. If interested, please contact Daniel Cosentino.

Everyone is encouraged to attend the ceremony and par­ ty. Let's send graduates off to their hard-earned futures with a bang, a boom, and a shove for good luck.

Mexico-from Page 1As far as is practicable, all

courses are designed to max­ imize exposure to the local en­ vironment and to the broader Mexican nation. Of course, daily living can be quite an

.education.Students can live with a

Mexican family and must negotiate the price of room, board and laundry. Some are very lucky and find themselves being 'adopted' by these families, getting involv­ ed in the social life which often extends beyond that of being a tenant.

In order to give the student an idea of what to expect in Guadalajara in particular and Mexico in general- from cat­ ching a bos to buying an ice­ cream cone- Professor Dennis Corrigan, who directed the seventh program, has prepared the T-Bird Survival Guide to Guadalajara. This helpful manual aids in the in­ itial adjustment to a foreign culture by realistically presenting problem areas such as finding a place to live or health related problems one could encounter in Mexico, and offers some suggestions and possible solu- tions.Students keep him in­ formed so that their good ex­ periences win be repeated and

Uieir bad ones won't. The guide will be available at the meeting.

"Last year's contingent came to know itself as 'the Goad squad*, the 1979ers 'the Guadalajara Survivors', and the group from 1976 adopted the name 'Montezuma's Pranksters'."

"At the very least, Guadala­ jara provides an opportunity to determine whether or not you really desire an interna­ tional management career," Conklin commented.

Items to be discussed at the meeting include course offer­ ings, program costs, transpor­ tation, living accommoda­ tions, health conditions, tourist cards, recreational facilities, and legal matters as they pertain to Mexico. Par­ ticipating faculty will be pre­ sent to answer any questions regarding the academic pro­ gram. Professor Conklin will begin the meeting with a slide presentation of the Guadala­ jara area, i

19, miSwitzerland, 1981.

These are the actions of a growing group of discontented, ostracized youths known simply as Move­ ment. Their interference in the neatly run Swiss society includes vandalism, public hashish smoking, and the chants of "Elvis uber Alles" (Elvis forever) bellowed through the branches of the 22$-year-old Bank Leu.

These events smack of the relatively moderate left-wing upheavals of the 1960's which

Student Loans: Late AgainAt present the only Federal

agency that can use private debt-collecting agencies to collect overdue debts is the Department of Education. The Department has been con­ ducting a pilot program to see if the use of private debt col­ lectors is worth the expenses involved. The program has been evaluated by an internal study in the Department and also by an outside consultant, and it has been found to be ef­ fective. It is possible that the use of outside collectors, who operate on a commission basis, will become more widespread in the Federal government.

Delinquent student loans is the second largest category of unpaid debts owed to the government, amounting to

$2.2 billion. The largest debt comes to $13.3 billion, and arises from unpaid Federal in­ come taxes. Delinquent debts nave been rising rapidly in re­ cent years, partially because tbe government charges relatively reasonable interest rates on delinquencies.

Congress is considering a new law that would allow the government to use private debt-collectors much more ex­ tensively than it does now.

Provisions of tbe proposal would allow the government to turn over debts and the ad­ dresses of debtors, taken from income tax returns, to private collectors. The government would also be allowed to deduct payments from tbe salary checks of government employees who owe money.

bypassed Switzerland for tbe most part. Sources claim, though, that there is no in­ filtration by tbe terrorist groups that plague Western Europe today. Their aspira­ tions seek out a most precious- ly guarded national resource a slice of the good life.

These are the youths who have come to Zurich over the past few years in ever increas­ ing numbers. They possess neither marketable skills nor education and the urban establishment has seen fit to ignore them. They desire to penetrate a finely tuned economy with no room for

them and an even finer toned society which does oot acknowledge them.

So they react and threaten the safeguard of the Swiss deposit base-stability.

And the gnomes of Zurich tremble slightly whilst guar­ ding their treasure.
