Coppersmith, Mahoney Face RecountBy Andre Doumitt

T hunderbird professor Rich­ ard Mahoneyand represen­ tative Sam Coppersmith, both vying for the Demo­

cratic nomination for U.S. Senate, faced a ballot recount late Thursday when totals showed Mr Coppersmith's lead to be only 99 votes. According to state law. if two candidates finish within one-tenth of a percentage point of each other, or 200 votes, there is an automatic recount.

As of Wednesday morning, Mr. Coppersmith's lead was caJcuiated to be 4000 votes. As ballots started coming in from rural areas, how­ ever, the margin began to narrow dramatically. By late Wednesday, results indicated that Mr. Copper­ smith had won Maricopa and Coconino counties, and Mr. Mahoney had won in 12 of the 13 other counties, sometimes by as much as a 2 to ! margin (State Senator Onds Resnick wan Puna

County). At a luncheon for Demo­ cratic candidates Wednesday. Mr. Mahoney made the announcement that because of late votes arriving from Na vajo, Gi la and Apache coun­ ties. Coppersmith's lead had nar­ rowed to 11 votes. Later, the lead was 13 voles. By late Wednesday the difference widened to 32 votes, and by Thursday night, with Mr. Coppersmith's lead at 99 votes, a recount was called.

Mr. Mahoney, who is Arizona Secretary of State, said Thursday that in a recount, "irregular" votes are reviewed and often counted. Mr. Mahoney. who draws much of his support from rural counties, said that because the proportion of ir­ regular votes is higher in rural than urban counties, a recount might be in his favor.

On Wednesday. Mr. Copper­ smith and Mr. Mahoney pledged to work for ihe other no matter the outcome "Whatever happen to­ day, whatever happens this week.

we must beat (Re­ publican Candi­ date) Jon Kyl." Mr. Coppersmith said. "There's no holds barred. I've already told Dick that if it's him. I'll shave my mus- tache.andhe'll let me borrow his shovel."Mr. Cop­ persmith was re­ ferring to election advertising in which Mr. Mahoney is shown picking up horse droppings with a shovel, and Mr.Coppersmith's mustache twirls from his face to Republican candi­ date Jon Kyle's.

The winner of this primary will face Libertarian Scon Grainger and

Republican Representative Jon Kyl in the general election November 8th,

Internships:By Chris Groves Value-Adding or Photocopying?

E ach T-bird student is faced with an important decision - should I pursue an intern­ ship? The answer to that

decision depends on the student's career plans. The two primary rea­ sons why students pursue intern­ ships, however, are: 1) to get career related experience; and 2) to get a first hand account ______ of a certain career ————— so that a decision can be made on whether to pur­ sue that career field. So just how many students pursue internships on any given se­ mester? Accord-

"Maya said that the best thing about the internship was that she learned how

to handle 'crisis situa­ tions'."

ing to T-bird career services, there are currently 62 students involved in internships. This is a 10% in­ crease over last fall: however, as a percentage ofT-bird' s student body. 62 interns a semester is fairly low (under 5%).

Is the percentage so low be­ cause the internship office does a bad job of setting students up with internships? No, because the career center does not hand out intern­ ships. The success or failure of attaining an internship largely de­ pends on the personal marketing ability of the student. According to theT-btrd'sintemshJpdirector,Gina Enders-Stenner, the internship of­ fice has three primary roles: 1) market T-bird as an institution to internship sponsoring corporatioris; 2) pro vide students with opportuni­

ties to explore function interests and industries; and 3) provide employ­ ers with valuable, capable employ­ ees. The key word in the above statement is "opportunities"; the in­ ternship office provides a forum for students andemployers tofindcom- patibility. Thus, after employers "post" suitable internship positions ________ andafterthe

internship office ap­ proves stu­ dent re­ sumes, it is upto the stu­ dents to sell themselves

_ __ _ _ tothecorpo- rations

through the interview process.There have been many student

complaints about the internship of­ fice, and many of them are justified. However, according to the intem- shipdi rector, the internship office is continually improving the quality ofitsservices. One complaint is that some of the positions are not on a graduate school level. That is to say. filing documents and copying papers is not worthy of graduate level work. These types of positions can be eliminated by the internship office by carefully "interviewing" the companies that post the posi­ tions. However problems some­ times arise when the job descrip­ tions and job duties do not correlate.

One complaint about the pro­ gram that has been solved is the 3 credit rule. Up until the summer

1994 semester, it was necessary for students to register and pay for a three unit internship course. This translated into students paying over SI500 to work for often non-paid internships. That is quite a fee for just "posting" a three to six month position! Now students have the flexibility to select either a 1 or 3 credit internship; thus the cost can be as low as $500. This 3/1 credit flexibility was made possible through a joint student/internship office effort.

Now that the respective duties of the student and the internship office have been summarized, here are three internship success stories that demonstrate the rewards of purs­ ing an internship. This is not to say that all students are satisfied with their internships, because some aren't. However, for the most pan. internships usually turn out mutu­ ally beneficial for the student and the employing company.

Michelle Lanning worked this summer as a marketing intern for Scott Paper in Philadelphia, PA. Michelle was put in charge of for­ mulating a marketing plan for launching a new product in the US. She found that her InterAD market­ ing skills were very useful in the intern position. Michelle thought that the best thing about the intem- shipprocess was the ease with which an internship can be attained (i.e. it did not take a lot of job searching.

B enefits to Thunderbird alumni who get online with the Thunderbird Forum and CompuServeare dear-

keeping in touch regardkssof where they move worldwide, exchanging job leads and professional advice, finding contactsfortheirsmall busi­ nesses and import/export opera­ tions, sharing industry information, organizing alumni gatherings, and taking advantage of hundreds of forums and reference services on CompuServe.

Yet, students may wonder about getting involved before graduation. Are the benefits worth $11.95 per month ($8.95 for CompuServe and S3 for Ihe Thunderbird Forum) and a one-time cost of $9 for a CompuServe kit 0 The best way to answer that question is to examine the various ways students can gain value from she service and then to decide which aspects are most im­ portant to you. Here are a few real- life example^ of how CompuServe and the Thunderbird Forum ca,i work for you:

Online research. Those of us who studied this sum­ mer at Thunderbird's French Geneva campus went online to re­ search such w ideranging topics as world population trends, Italian politics since Berlusconi's emer­ gence, Swissair and its main com- petitors, Bausch & Lomb in Russia, Helsinki as a gateway to the east, the computer game industry, major companies in the worldwide fra­

grance industry and tourism in France. "As the library facilities in Archamps were somewhat limited, having access to research facilitks on CompuServe made it possible to do the kind of project expected of T birds," says Richard Gay.

Business Database Plus and Magazine Database Plus, each con­ taining the full-text of hundreds of magazines and journals, were two favorite online sources on CompuServe because of their straightforward searching and cost effective pricing. We first captured a list of article titles to a file, logged off, read the list offline and decided which articles were most critical to retrieve. Such a retrieval of titles costs SI inthese sen ices.Then. each article retrieved is $1.50. There is also a $4 hourly connect charge, but as our searches and retrievals were quick, this charge was minimal.

For more in-Jcpih searches on company financial information, we used Disclosure, which has numer­ ous optionsthat will effectively give you a ec.npany's complete contact infor­ mation, annual report and additional financial data on the spot. Costs \ ary depending on what you need, but it's possible to get good, current infor­ mation beginning at $5 or $7.50. Thisservice was particularly helpful to Heather Leonard and Andres Maldonado, who were researching computer game companies for an International Business Policy project. Again, a connect charge applies.

Mexican Counsel Provides WisdomBarrett Speaks at Thunderbird

Nicolis Escalante Barren, Mexican Consul in Phoenix, spoke on Thursday. September 8th to a full-house. Mr. Escalante has been a member of the Foreign Service since 1970, working in Australia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Norway and Canada During the hour that he spoke, Mr. Escalante thoroughly covered recent Mexican political and economic history, up to and including the August 21st elec­ tion and the events in Chiapas.

Mexico did not succumb to

the homble predictions of what wo;.Id follow (he presidential elec­ tions - ungovernability, civil unrest or capital flight. »Vlr. Escalante char­ acterized his country as being in control of the situation politically and economically and as making progress on the issues of land ten­ ure, income inequality and corrup­ tion.

Full democracy is an issue that is currently feeing the country. The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) has been in power continu­

ously since 1929. The recent events in Chiapas and the Colosio assassi­ nation have forced the third over­ haul of the political system in the past five years. For the August 21st vote, control of the electoral system was passed to an independent civil­ ian organization. Due to the trust that they were able to build, a record 76% of eligible voters cast ballots. Voters indicated willingnesstosolve the country's problems through the ballot box. Progress has been made in the democratization of Mexico and it continues.

Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival

Bv Connie Fu

Except for the Chinese students, many of you might not know that Tuesday, September 20. is the so- called Mid-Autumn Festival accord­ ing to the Chinese lunar calendar. It U a day for families to gather to­ gether. enjoy the beauti ful full moon, h:r»e a piece of "moon cake" (a ^pecial kmdofc.ike that is made just for this festiv aJ t. to prepare for the jornin£ ot the tali season.

What is ihis Mid-Autumn Festi­ val all abou! and how. did it start? Well, there is a legend associated with it In the Hsiah Dynasty in ancient China, there was a man named Da Yue w, ho hid an extraor­ dinary power to conquer floods that were causing a lot of damages to the neopleofChina. The people showed their gratitude to Da Yue by making him the king of China.

Toward the end of the Kind Da Yue's era, there were severe droughts throughout China, which were caused by the appearance of nine suns in the sky, according to legend. Then, King Da Yue gave an order to find a person to solve this problem. At thai time, there was a person named Ho Yi, who was an extremely skilled hunter. He came to the King and said that he could solve the problem. He shot down eight of the nine suns, and brought the drought crisis to an end

As a result. Ho Yi became Da Yue's successor and was later made a king. He thought that the main reason that caused his predecessor's downfall was the drought that hap­

pened during the late period of his reign. Therefore. Ho Yi came up with an idea that if he could make himselflive fore ver, maybe he could a void any un fortunate event because there would never be a late period for him. As a result, he ordered his people to search for a medicine thai could make him forever young.

The medicine was finally made successfully by an expert. How­ ever. Ho Yi\ wife. Chartg Er. on seeing that her husband was too obsessed with his power and was starting to do something that might hun the people, she took the medi­ cine instead. At the minute she took it. some mysterious force lifted her and brought her to the moon. On that day. the moon was full and there was a palace and a rabbit wait­ ing for her in her room.

As a result, in order to give tribute to Chang Er. who did this for the well-being of the Chinese people, every fifteenth day of August in tbe Chinese lunar calendar became fix day that people would get together and look up to the moon to remem­ ber the good deed that she had done. It became what we call the Mid- Autumn Festival today.

In order to celebrate this festi­ val . the China club will have a Mid- Autumn Festival party on Friday, September23,at8:00p.m. in Room 53. Food and drink will be served. At 0-00 p m .some Chinese movies will be .show n. including the "Wed­ ding Banquet". All students are welcome. Please come join the China Club and share the "moon- seeing" experience to meet with Chang Er.

The Gate"Wherever we travel, whenever we pass from one country to

another we must go through a gate. However, Ba§ lor means more than simply the traversing of borders; it stands as a symbol and artery of communication through the barriers of superstition, ignorance, dogma, racism and prejudice; traditional enemies which continue to be a detriment to progress and global peace.

Idealistic though it may sound, it has now become the respon­ sibility of our generation, the future leaders of the international community, to make every effort to widen these gates and succeed where previous generations have failed.

"Just how long have you been flying?" 1 asked our pilot as we un­ tied the rusty chains which held our

Joerg has got hK headset on now. running down the final check­ list as we wait for the go-ahead from control. He hits the intercom button and turns up the volume so we can hear the weather rqx>rt over the roar of the propeller. "85 de-

Joerg had a bean and re­ sponded truthfully, "5 and 1/2 years," adding enthusiastically, "and I've never crashed" Now Joerg couJd have avoided the topic of crashing altogether and made me perfectly happy, but as it was. 1 felt confident enough tocrawl in with his rwoother passengers.

This is the way to go! No traf­ fic, no lailgaiers. 3.000 feet over I- 17, headed north and climbing. 4,000 feet as we veer slightly east 5,000 feet, and another small plane passes below us.

"Keep it climbing slowly up to 7400 feet, then level it off," he instructs me. I check out the instru­ ments he has told me to watch and bead towards a canyon which pre­ cedes a really large plateau. It's beauurul above the desen, with Lake Pleasant to our left and the red cliffs of Sedona off in the distance.

Thirty minute1; later I'm readyto land this baby, you beicha. NOPROBLEM! But'the rest of theplane is less than enthused aboutthis idea. Below us is the SedonaAirfield. Elevation 4827. and quickas a flash. Joerg drops us cleanly and

safely onto the runway. 1 said itbefore, but I'll sa\ it again this isthe way to go'

Regardless, it was a great trip, and i highiv recom­ mend it to anyone who likes to travel and who enjoys a little ad­ venture.

The pilots ofThunderfliers have organized a bunch of great trips

for the semester. These include a couple of Grand Canyon flights, a longer trip to Bryce Canyon in south- em Utah which should include a night of camping, and more trips to Sedona. Thunderfliers also offers a number of Suaset Flights around the Glendale area. You might be able to convince Joerg to buzz the Tower Cafe.

The cost of these flights is based solely oo plane rental and fuel costs, so they're fairly cheap; die Sedona trip ran everyone $39, including a rental car. For more information on Tbunderfliers, contact Joerg Rathenberg or otherT -Fliers Mike Monahan or Paul Kraaijranger or check out the ASLC calender for a list of Thunderflier events.

Travis Chester just returned from a six month internship in Juarez, Mexico with RCA Compo­ nents, adivision of the French com­ pany. Thompson. Travis worked as a financial analyst in an electron­ ics manufacturing plant, and he rated his intemshipexperience as "excel­ lent". In fact, he is considering working for the company after graduating. Travis said that the best aspect of the internship was that he had the opportunity to work with all facets of the manufacturing plant, including working with corporate headquarters. The worst aspect of the internship was that he had to do alot of accounting, instead of finan­ cial analysis.

Maya Schmid worked for six monihs as an intern for Johnson & Johnson in Dusseldorf, Germany. Maya worked in product manage­ ment and rated her internship expe­ rience as excellent; however, she said that her enjoyment of the expe­ rience was progressive. At first

Mayadid not feel in touch with what was going on, and this was the worst thing about the position.

The island is about 150 miles wide and 300 miles long, skirted by beautiful palm-lined beaches and lush, tropical lowlands which give rise to rice paddies, tea plantations and peaks of nearly 8,000 feet in the south central region. Key exports include rubber, tea, textiles, gems and jewelry. Population is 17.4 million and the capital is Colombo. The country has a diverse religious mix, with 70% Buddhist, 15% Hindu, 8% Islam and 7% Christian.

Sri Lanka was formerly known as Ceylon, but the name changed to Sri Lanka in the 1970s after the British ceased their colonial influ­ ence. The island has a rich history, and beautiful ruins from ancient empires 2,000years ago still exist at such archeological treasures as Anuradhapura. Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. The island is referred to in the Bible as the place where Solomon sent for spices, jewels and otherspedalties. During the Middle Ages, the island was given the name Serendib by Persian traders of the Islamic faith during their travels in she region. Sri Lanka was also coasidered one of the prized Spice Islands and a number of explorers stopped at the island en route be­ tween Europe and Southeast Asia

The southern port city of Galle still retains a distinct Portuguese influ­ ence from that period in history.

Today Sn Lanka rarely makes A orid headlines. Some attention is gi\en. on occasion, to the internal struggle between minority Tamils i Hindus i and the majority Sinha­ lese i Buddhists >as the Tamils have

geted in the violence. The upcom­ ing elections this fall should prove interesting, as it could signal a sig­ nificant shift in political power within the country.

Sri Lanka's attraction as a tour­ ist destination lies in its diversity. This » one tropical parafeewfaichhas luckily not yet been overdevel­ oped. The warm waters of the In­ dian ocean lap against pristine, un- crowdffd.palm-linedbeachcs. Visi- tors are able to combine a unique blend of culture, relaxation and fun tomakeforamemorabletrip. From visiting ancient ruins to walking through a tea plantation to the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy to taking a day safari at Yala National Park (with wild elephants, croco­ diles, peacocks and a host of other flora and fauna), a vacation in Sri Lanka is sure not to disappoint. It is a shopper's dream, with bargains to be had on such precious gems as rubies and sapphires, hand-painted batik fabrics and various other handicrafts. Scuba diving is also great at the seaside town of Hikkaduwa. just south of Colombo.

So the next time you are look­ ing for a relatively inexpensive (once you're there!), culturally- stimulating and fun vacation, con­ sider visiting Sri Lanka The Land of Serendipity is full of unexpected delights for all who come.

1995 Winterim CEO SeminarBy Paul K. Johnson

Each year a new topic is selected that reflects the interest of the students and the invited global executives. The subject this coming Winterim is "Corp. Social Responsibility." We ask our speakers to address the area from the standpoint of their industry, their company, and mosi of all. their own personal views. It has been stated many times thai the conscience of an organization is dictated by the moral and ethical standards of the CEiO. We look forward to hearing their thoughts on this.

Each speaker will have approximately 75 minutes for prepared remarks At the conclusion of this, we will have an informal coffee break with the speaker in attendance. The break will be followed by another 75 minutes of questions and answers. Most students are familiar with Classroom Al'- 2 which lends itself quite w ell toone-on-one discussions with the re maininc audience quite able to hear and participate.

Some oi the executives selected as this years speakers are, Mr Paul Oreffice. recently retired Chairman of Dow Chemical. Mr, Ralph Wetter. Chairman of Midas International: Mr, Ed Galante. Presidem of FN-.O Inier- America: Mr. Bemie Rethore. President/CHO of Phelps Doike Industries Mr, Thomas (ieorae. President and General Manager >i Motorola Semi­ conductors. Mr. vatighn BeuK. Chairman ot'Harlev-DaMdson. In. . M: I,)c.u'i hi'i'j'ii.ui. i'tesident of McDonnei Doucias iicivupier (V. Mr Morton Heiscner. Presiuens/'ChO of Franchise i-mance Ci'n>>ra!ion u!

Kiz/.ire, Senior Vice President - CIGNA: Mr. Julian Sobin. Chairman of Goldman Resources. Inc.: and Dr. Richard Smkin. Managing Director - InterAmencan Holdings Company.

While the topic is important, and the setting conducive for discussion. perhaps the most rewarding aspect of the seminar is to pro\ jde a \ehicle for students to individually relate to some of the top executives in the world, See first hand what makes these CEOs tick. Who knows, you might even get a job!

VVaik-Up Printing Provides Access for Laptops

By Ray Soar

Looking for a place to laserprint on campus using your own software and laptop? Well, look no further, there are now two locations for walk- up printing: in the Tower building and in the International Business Information Center (IBIC). The cost is the same as printing in the Computer Lab at 15 cents/page. To find them, go to either the type­ writer room, opposite the ASLC office in the Tower building or to the IBIC's copy room, near the magazine area.

At the ASLC printer, you can print using Mac or IBM. For Mac. unplug the cable from the back of the Macintosh SE and plug it into your computer. Configure the sys­ tem to use a Sharp JX9 printerdriver and you are all set to print, ForBM, plug in the loose connector marked

'IBM' into your parallel port and configure your word processing or Windows software to use an HP LaserJet II printer. This may require the installation disks for the soft­ ware. The IBIC printer can only be used with IBM, but the process is the same as above.

The concept for walk-up print­ ing first came from the Information Strategic Task Force Committee (ISTF).whichisrecommendingthat all students own acomputer starting Fall '95. Walk-upprintingis seen as an integral part of the infrastructure to support student laptop comput­ ers. It will allow greater flexibility in terms of software and hardware choices forstudents. Yet it still needs to be tested and evaluated.

YaelCoifrnan,ASLCpresident, picked up the ideaand ran with it, by

arranging with DANKA to have a priniersetupfor students. The imple­ mentation was further coordinated by the student Ombudsman, Ed Beck. Without their efforts, walk- up printing wouldn't be in place today. Thanks.

The new director of Informa­ tion Technology Services (ITS i.e. Computer Services), John Gibson. is considering exchanging a few computers in the lab for walk-up printing facilities if the demand warrants it. This would be part of the infrastructure for the Fall '95 requirement. For those of you who are interestedin learning more about the ISTFand its' recommendations, I will be answering questions at the ASLC meeting, Monday Sept. 19 at 4:30 in the Tower TV Room.

Assessing Quality

Here" s your opportunity to learn the quality management skills so desperately needed in today's busi­ ness environment!

The Quality Process Manage­ ment (QPM) at Thunderbtrd is a student-run organization commit­ ted to providing resources and input related to quality process manace- ment to administration on specific projects.

One goal of QPM is to offer students the opportunity to partici­ pate first-hand in all aspects of the QPM process: project management. A ork-flow analysis and QPM prin­ ciples.

Follow-up Foreign Service Challenge BeckonsBy And\ Wihoti

With the international experi­ ence and foreign language talent on this campus, it is not surprising that Thonderttrd is one of only three testing locations in Arizona thai will administer the Foreign Service Of­ ficer Exananation on Saturday. No­ vember 19,1994. The registration deadane is October 14, 1994, so now is the time for those Thirds who are U.S. citizens to seriously consider a career with the Foreign Service. The percentage of Thirds who pass this exam tends to be higher than the national average, so your chances of passing may be better than you think.

As aFbird who recently passed both die written exam and the oral assessment, and who's name is cur­ rently on die Foreign Service re- cruitment register, I am happy to share whatl've learned, havinggone through the process numerous times before I finally succeeded.

The Department of State, the United States Information Agency, and the Department of Commerce an use die Foreign Service Officer Examination as a first step in their recruiting process, which goes like this: Those who pass die written

A How-to Guide for the Foreign Service Test

exam will be asked to participate in an oral assessment lasting approxi- matelyoneday. Those who pass the oral, along with their spouse and children, then undergo a complete physical exam to determine if there are any physical problems that would disqualify them from serving over­ seas.

Also, the candidate undergoes a complete backgrou nd in v cstigation for Top Secret security clearance. Next, their file goes before a final review board that determines whedier the candidacy should con­ tinue. If the result is positive, the candidate's name is placed on a register according to the points scored during the recruitment pro­ cess. The candidate's name stays on this register for IS months, during which time he/she could be called to serve in one of the three agencies. If die candidate is not called during dns period, his/bername is removed from die register.

If this sounds intimidating, it's suppose to. The Foreign Service only wants people who are firm in their commitment to serve in such a position. They are not so much looking for a person with polished international skills or solid work

experience as they are looking for someone with a particular combina­ tion of general knowledge and mana­ gerial/communication skills that they feel are necessary for success in the job. The written exam and oral assessment are designed to test for diese attributes.

The written exam lasts about four hours aid consists of two pare. the general background section and the English section. The background section includes questions covering U.S. history, culture, constitutional law, foreign relations, government, literature, etc. You'llalsofindques- tions on current events, manage­ ment, economics, world history and geography, as well as other related topics. There really is no best way to prepare for this test, other than through a good liberal education and a strong background in current events, including daily reading of reputable news periodicals with an international focus, such as theMrw York Tunes, The Economist, and The Won Street Journal.

Interestingly enough, many people who take the test concentrate theirpreparation efforts on the back­ ground section and all butignore the English section. Their reasoning is that since they are educated native speakers, die English section should present no problems. Infect, poor performance on the English section probably accounts for most failures on die exam. Don't slight this sec­ tion during your preparation. It is especially challengingsinceyou are given a very limited amount of time to work through a lot of material. The Foreign Service expects candi­ dates to be good writers.

Good test prep books can be

obtained at the local book store, the library or via ETS. the folks who write the FSO exam, as well as the GMAT, LSAT. SAT. etc. An order form for the ETS test prep booklet is included wift the test registration application packet Thesebooksare useful for familiarizing the candi­ date witii rhe types of questions on the test, and provide practice ex­ ams.

The registration packet, and more information about UK Foreign Service, can be obtained at Career Services through Mr. Jerry Levesque, a retired FSO who has office hours in die CSC every Tues­ day. If your thinking about an FSO career, he's THE man to contact on campus.

If a candidate is among the roughly 10% of those who pass die written exam, he/she will move on totheoralassessmenL Thisisanall- day exercise mat consists of five segments, all timed and designed to see how rhe candidate performs under stress. One pan will be a written exercise where die candi­ date will write an essay on a topic of his/her choice.

Another segment consists of a three-part exercise called a demarche, which is a diplomatic overture to a foreign government The candidate firstprepares by read­ ing through a large packet of back­ ground material and taking note. The next pan is the demarche itself, where die candidate role-plays an FSO representing points of U.S. policy to a couple of real FSO's role-playing ministers of a foreign government. At die end of diis part, the real FSO's ask die candidate a numberor*whatwouklyoudoif...r

questions regarding foreign service work. Finally, die last pan of die demarche comes when die candi­ date must write-up an after action report on the demarche. He/she must be clear and concise within about 350 words.

The final segment of the oral assessment is the group exercise. Five or six candidates sit around a" table and are given materials to pre­ pare them to present a proposal that requires funding. Funding is avail­ able, but not enough for all the projects at die table. The group must negotiate which projects are to be funded and to what degree. Again, it's timed and designed to see how people work under stress. As you can see. the oral assessment is de­ signed to test people in die actual tasks that a real FSO performs: writing, negotiating, summarizing, analyzing. persuading,h'steningand being diplomatic.

At die end of die assessment day, each candidate is given an exit interview. If be/she has failed, die interview will be short and to die point If he/she passes, the inter­ view will be longer, mdiyKng a farther screening session with the examiners and signing a number of documents to move die candidate on to the physical exam and back­ ground check, which will take place over die ensuing months.

As you can see, the foreign service application process is no small task. For those who make die grade, however, die rewards on be immeasurable. For more informa­ tion, contact Jerry Levesque in Ac CSC or contact Damien Marquez or Andy Wilson in the Government/ Non-profit Club.

There were some who made an unauthorized extension and transfer of peace and music to a fourth day in New Jersey and made the necessary dash from Saugerties. New York to the Giants Stadium on Monday. August 15. when the Strolling Bones (remains of the Rolling Stones), performed to frentic Woodstock survivors.

Woodstock'94, a lot more orga­ nized than the first such gathering in 1969 saw some 35 plus bands play­ ing to a gathering of 250.000 as reported by the New York Times. More religious followers of ortho­ dox classic rock engaged in a filtra-

The festivi­ ties on Saturday began with a mind- blowing performance by the leg­ endary and honorable Joe Cocker on the North Stage. He wound the set up with his guttural cover of the melodious Lennon/McCartney "With A Little Help From My Friends", which added nostalgia to the drugged atmosphere and trans­ ported some Woodstockers back to '69.

The same afternoon. The Band performed on the South Stage. Dis­ ciples of Bob Dylan's former back­ up band assembled an hour before The Band with Roger McGuinn

Eventually. Trie Band got tans rocking, although the vacuum cre­ ated by Robbie Robertson's absence was tremendous. When the set was complete with "Stage Fright". "Chest Fever" and "The Weight". Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead jammed with The Band before darkness de­ scended.

Back on the North Stage later that night, Crosby. Stills and Nash were in full flight crank­ ing out tracks such as "Wooden Ships" and theclassicJoni MitcheU

OPINION

Truth Is More Profitable Than Fiction

So Ted Turner has announced that CNN will offer complete coverage of the OJ. Simpson trial, start to finish, in its entirety i except tor some really expensive 30-second ad spots, my money is on some great neu, Ford Bronco ads). This decision i\ ;i nit disappoiniinp. coming trom a man who a Jew \ears aso was designated Time Magazine's "Man Of The Year," I cuess it take-. one pood O.J. exploiter i Tune) to appreciate another (led i

!: :: s not onvious. i am conipiainmc. But then v.no am 1 to complain: A montn-iont: 0 j. test is onvioiisiy what me Amenciui people warn, i cannot imagine that lumer '> meciia machine did not do trie proper markt't research todeterminethat "complete anerase' is in high demand. And what a product! A never-ending, made-tor- TV movie without the overhead, i.e. those irritating production costs and outrageous salaries for Richard Harris and Valeric Bertinelli.

Without a doubt, the American public is deeply engrossed in a drama of Shakespearean proportions, a modem Macbeth.

Act i our hero runs for a billion yards, tnen goes on to a promising career sprinting through airports selling rent-a-cars. Act II beautiful wife and kids, but a breakup, divorce, and charges of battery. Something is rotten in the state of California Act 111 a grizzly murder, mysterious circumstances, and the dramatic flight of our now fallen hero. Act IV new characters take the stage. A smooth-talking, silk-wearing defense attorney and his scrappy, frizzy-haired nemesis from the District Attorney's office. Mean­ while, our stony-faced defendant waits off to the side, his hero status faded to that of a circus side-show, his fate completely out of his hands.

Hey, this is pretty good stuff. And unless you live in a cave without a television, you have been witness to the whole media spectacle.

Anyway, Americaawaits the fifth and final ac:—THE TRIAL— gloriously broadcast on the world's largest news network, CNN ("I want my OJ. TV"). I fullyexpecttbeother large networks to follow CNN's lead, thus giving the pubh'c a choice of camera angles from which to analyze the Brno-driver's testimony. Much like the vulturine helicopters fighting for a glimpse of OJ. in Cowling's white Bronco on the night of Act III, the networks will fight to film a crack in our hero's concrete visage.

Meanwhile, America will sit around, about as productive as French civil servants in August, eating popcorn and analyzing fake blood samples with their official "Convict-Him-Yourself, OJ. Simpson Trial Kit", available from Ronco and complete with plastic knife and mysterious manila envelope.

Meanwhile, Ted Turner will sit around, counting ad spots and praying for a mistrial. Heck, Ted, this could last longer than the Persian Gulf War if you're lucky. The only difference is. that was NEWS and this is DRAMA. But I guess such a distinction is no longer relevant

Happy viewing, and we'll see you at the appeal!

Online research need not mean only use of reference databases. For my rjarticular group ̂ Multinational Business- Management, a brief mes­ sage we posted in CompuServe's European Forum gave us a foot in the door to a Swiss multinational in the fragrance and flavorings indus­ try. The woman who replied said her husband had worked for42 years for one of the companies we were considering analyzing and that he would he clad to talk with us. As the company v,as private, the contact with this centleman made ail the difference in certm;: in to laik with other managers and tounnc one oi the r.'ictones as pan ot our on-siie researcn

!t costs $4 per hour to use CompuServe's forums ana other "extended .sen ices," except tor the Fhunderbird Forum i S3 flat tee per month). As u took less than five minutes to post trie forum message and retrieve the reply, the cost v.as about 35 cents. Within the Thun- derbird Forum. Tanva Bradlev and Miles Kan of the International Stud­ ies Research Center have contrib­ uted several resource bibliographies for regions of the world. Miles also created a file of contact information for State Department Country desks worldwide. More files from various campus departments and the new 1BIC are forthcoming.

Job search.The same techniques for doing

research for a class project can double as a job search method For example, you can use online data­ bases to gather background infor­ mation about a particular company, its competitors and the industry in general. Or perhaps post questions in a forum that relates to your field, such as the PR and Marketing Fo­ rum, Legal Forum, International Trade Forum, Investors Forum and more.

As fellow Thirds tend to help each other with the job search pro­ cess, the Thunderbird Forum's job and career-related areas can be a good place to start Jim Case of the Career Services Center regularly posts issues of the Graduate Update jobs newsletter in one online library

area. Another library is set aside for job-seekers to post their resumes; Jim is also contributing students" "electronic resumed" to the Tbird Forum and the International Trade Forum. Yet another message sec­ tion and library, titled'Career Tips." offers career-related advice and in­ formational files about specific fields, such as an interview- with Dr. Glen Fong about careers in political risk management.

Networking with alumni.in recent months, numerous stu­

dents have networked online with Third alumni. whether seeking spe­ cific information toraproiect. need­ ing job search advice or simply A anunc lo cnat online v la the Thtin- ,:erbird Forum's conterence facility .

It's common practice to include one's class year in message board corre­ spondence and in the forum mern- berdirectory. For m-person network­ ing, a list of First Tuesday meetings around the world is posted in the forum's Alumni library area.

When Dr. Beverly Springer's European Integration class at the Geneva campus this summer was planning a trip to Brussels for an all- day briefing at the European Com­ mission, we posted a message in the TbirdForumtoinviteBrusselsarea alumni to a get-together.

Another example of online net­ working occurred at the European Reunion in Prague, where alumni and students attending that event communicated in a real-time con­ ference with fellow T birds through­ out the United States and Europe.

•Current news.One of the highlights of

CompuServe'sbasicservices,acol- lection of about 70 services that are included in the monthly $8.95 fee, is the depth of news coverage. In addition to the standard Associated Press Online, with choices for news from the latest hour, world news, political news and other options, you can select from several non-US news sources, including Ap France, AP Australia, Deutsche Press Agentur (German) and multiple U.K. news wires.

WithrntheThundabndFanm,each week's Thanderbnd Newsis posted in the Campus library area. Plans are also underway forongo- ing discussions of current news events via the forum messageboanl

•Electronic mail.Considering the number of sto-

dents who fake internships m vari­ ous locations or participate in for­ eign programs, keeping in touch can sometimes bea challenge. Sane students, such as Jennifer Warner, who will soon be in Barcelona for the dual-degree program with ES ADE. are getting online now as a meansof maintaining contactwid) Thirds.

! n iwditton to sending electronic mail messages to fellow CompuServe members, you can correspond with members of nu­ merous other services including MCI Mail SprintNet. AT&T.Mait Western Union. Deutsche Bundespost and . of course, the Internet.

Many more services.Travel, shopping, financial ser­

vices and much more are alsoavaiJ- abie through CompuServe, and many of these services are included in the monthly basic services fee. As an example, online airline reser­ vation services allow you to make your own flight arrangements, as well as get hotel information and reserverental cars. In addition, hun­ dreds of computer hardware and software support forums are acces­ sible for 54 per hour.

How to get involved If yon have a Thunderbird Forum bro­ chure and sign-up form already, simply complete it and return to the Office of Communication. Include a check or credit card number for your CompuServe kit (S9)in DOS, Windows or Mac versions.

If you do not yet have informa­ tion about the Thunderbird Forum, stop by the Office of Communica­ tion for a brochure. Also watch for newsofanupcomingCompuServe demonstration.

THE BUDDY SYSTEMBy Derek McCaUum

Does everyone remember one of those primary rules oflife....get a buddy, do everything together, be­ come best friends, and always, al­ ways hold hands when you cross the road. This appears to be one of those simple rules thai really does make life easier if applied correctly.

Arizona runs the Buddy Sys­ tem. More specifically. The Ari­ zona Cardinals run the Buddy Sys­ tem. Head coach of the Arizona Cardinals is Buddy Ryan, and he now has the Cards running the Buddy System of football, but it's not quite the holding hands part.

This Buddy System was origi­ nally demonstrated with the Phila­ delphia Eagles and their swarm de­ fense. The last time we saw ir was in Houston, when Buddy hi msel f dem­ onstrated how to take out a player, except he demonstrated on a fellow coach in the middle of a game with a right cross. Now the Buddy Sys­ tem comes to Arizona.

Coach Ryan has the Cards play­ ing the tough hard nosed defense indicative of east coast football. Coach Ryan has an offense that both runs the ball up the middle, and around the ends, as well two pivots that are experienced enough thai know how-to throw the ball. Coach Ryan seems to have brought with him an attitude of football that wins

games, builds confidence on suc­ cess, and works in groupsofBuddy's (ie the gang tackling of a swarm defense).

So why at the time of this article, are die Cards 0-2, (and probably 0-

3 when you read this)? Why does the Buddy System not work in Ari­ zona? Or does it work and we just have not given it enough time. I think these answers are three fold.

The first reason for the failure of the Buddy System is that it is embar­ rassing to watch Jim McMahon and Steve Beurline walk around hold­ ing hands. I mean that these two

"It is embarrassing to watch Jim McMahon and Steve Beurline walk around holding hands."

his defense work as good if not better than it did in Philly, then they are going to need more time.

The last reason I give for the Buddy System not working here in Arizona is all the flack the Coach Ryan has to deal with. Not only does he have to put up with the critical and cynical media (such as myself), not only does he have to

put up with his long- -g^" time nemesis Mike

Ditka. who is now an analyst and has free reign on comments about Buddy, but Coach Ryan also has to put up with the play­ ers.

The players are dedicated to improv- ing their game and ac-

QB's deserve to have it firmly de­ cided what each's role is. Both have been around the league, both are fair quarterbacks, but neither knows who is starting until just before gametime. Not only does this hurt the QB's level of play, but because they each have different styles of leadership on the field, it effects the entire team.

The second reason for the B udd y System not working for the Cards is the amount of time they've taker, to learn ii. Buddy Ryan is a defensive specialist -and-his plays, schemes, shoots, shifts, and blitzs are all com­ plicated, confusing and nearly too complex for the average football player. If the defense is going to learn the Buddy System, and make

players are dedicated to a coach that will help them do that. The coach that Buddy re­ placed was starting to get the Cards into the win column and a lot of the players expressed contempt for the organization for letting him go. This contempt can flow from the organi­ zation to Buddy and inhibit him from getting the team to perform to their prospective level of play.

And so. the Buddy System in Arizona has yet to work, hut after two or three weeks it is hardly ready for judgement. The problem i\ Ari­ zona is ready for a w inning team and the longer it has to wait the more critical the fans will become of the coaching. I think the real reason for the Buddy System not working yet, is that nobody wants to hold Buddy Ryan's hand to help him cross the street.

Dry Ice for a Dry Heatby Anne McHugh

If you can't board a yacht Bound for some cod spot

Or even relax at dockside You had buy A liberal supply

Of soiid carbon dioxide Or set out on a hajj In your "92 Dodge

Or maybe the Winnebago Take a red-eye flight In the dead of the night

To the beaches of San Diego The kids run fast From the furnace blast

To the chill of refrigeration While their elders swim laps Or just take naps

Then opt for an icy libation Though it's 106 (Mother Nature's tricks)

Our winters are worth the price If you tend to swoon From the sultry monsoon

Here is some friendly advice: If you want to stay cool Dive into the rwi
