Recycling Program ExpandsNewcomers Include Glass and Plastics

by EJaine Massey

The news is simply earth- shattering. Or is it eaflh-mendingl Our campus recycling program is being expanded to, once again, in­ clude glass and a newcomer plas­ tic. Containers forgJass(clear,green, and brown) will be placed around campus in addition to the traditional Pub patio location. Look also for receptacles forType 1 plastics, such as the clear soft-drink and water bottJecontainers. To verify the plas­ tic type, look for the triple arrow recycling symbol (usually located on the bottom of the bottle) and check for the number one and the letters PETE beneath.

Future plans to incorporate more materials into our recycling program include, but are not limited to. office paper and en velopes. other plastics.and magazines. Oneproject that will aid in the determination of which materials to add to the pro­ gram is the waste stream analysis to be conducted in April by the Uni­ versity of Arizona's Garbage Project. This process will entail a hand-sorting of campus wastes from

various collection locations. The goal of the analysis is to character­ ize the origins of waste and deter­ mine methods of waste reduction and more efficient recovery of recyclables that make it into the waste stream.

There are several deserving of our ing possible the waste s sis. The largest, individ^^i is Arizona Public Serincs.:$iPS). Special thanks is owedloMr.Terry Hudcins.

We appreciate, also, the generous donations by President Herberger (on behalf of iheadnan- istration), the Environmental Gub. and the ASLC. Without the kind help of each of these donors, such a comprehensive analysis would not have been made possible.

So, where do we go from here? As mentioned above, we can look forward to further expansion of our recycling program. Addi­ tionally, the Committee on Envi­ ronmental Policv is in the rmve---. of

compiling the information it has gathered on current campus prac­ tices for which environmental im­ pacts may or may not be consid­ ered but should be. What is en­ couraging to Committee members is that w£«e discovering that there 'pus wh& already have incorporated

Leanin' Trees on the QuadbyTtmSwanson

What hath Facilities wrought? A set for Jurassic Park? What did Bud Gutter do during his vacation at Coaimel? Did he have \iaoffiofsomersaiiMngtrees? What's the deal with the giant concrete gold­ fish? These and other questions come to mind as the Thunderbird commu­ nity views the new landscaping on the Quad At least they planted the trees greensideup. Was there a method to theirmadness? What happens next?

RadjcaUyleamng and twisted Mexican fan palms are the most dra­ matic feature of the new landscape. These palms, blown over in the nurs­ ery, some more than once, are like the ""hurricane" palms found on tropical beaches. A palm tree's bud always seeks the sun. Each time it Wowsover. the growing tip of the trunk bends so thatnew-growth is vertical. Since only the end of the trunk grows, the curves arepermanent "Weplantedthepalms leardrg over the deck and the sidewalk to provide shade. The leaning trees create a run and distinctive tropical kxtog landscape,'"saidGrounds Su­ pervisor Bud Clutter.

Someone has already taken advantage of this unusual feature. According to an unnamed source, someone buriedacopyofthe next IPE final and an IS faculty's annotated copy of Gilpin in the mound The source said it is underneath the "X" at noon.

Boulders weighing 1 to 5 ions ea± complement the landscape and help bold up the Mexican fan patasuntiltheyroot firmly. A crew of 10 and a large crane placed the boul­ ders and humcane palms in a single afternoon. The palms are bare-root,. no sofl around the roots. Palms are virtually the only trees that withstand bare-root planting in Phoenix's di- mate. Theexisting leaves will dry up

anddieoverthenextfewweeks. In the meantime, they protect the vulnerable bud are! help the trees generate energy neededfornewrootsystems. "Around July or August we will untie the leaves.

Then the trees will catch a little more wind which strengthens the root sys­ tems. This will get the buds acclima­ tized toopen air too." said Mr. Clutter, "SySepianberorOctober.newleaves will grow and they will begin to look like a living tree. Then they'll really start to take off. We'll be able to remove the props around then too." In the meantime, they will look a little strange. Thunderbird bought the hur­ ricane palms from While Tank Palms atalarge discount since few landscap- ers demand (are creative enough to use) such trees.

The mounditselfwil] be sod­ ded with Bermudagrass. They planted queen palms for shade and screening and purple leaf plums for contrast They will plant flowering groundcover plants on the pool ends of the mound These will take about a year to spread out and mature. Depending on the project budget, they may build serpen­ tine dry rock retaining walls into the ends of the mounds. With flowers cascading over the walls, the effect will be similar to the planters behind Founder's Hall.

Thedeck, which either looks like a fish or silhouetted head and

shoulders depending on who you ask, has a fish-shaped stage at the far end A small band can play there while dancers boogie on the deck. The grassy mound, boulders, and leaning palm trees will be a lovely setting for watching, listening, and hanging out. Right now you can see two depres­ sions filled with river rock (melon- sized stones) on either side of the fish's tail. These are the foundations of french drains tocontrolrunorTlrom thedeckandmound Crushed granite and grates will cover the river rock, thus enlarging the space around the nearby barbecues.

Pool renovation, stewed by extremely rainy weaher. continues. Both new titeand fencing are in place. New pool furniture is coming soon. However, the pool will receive link landscaping until completion of the new dormitory next year. The dormi­ tory and pool are to be landscaped in complementary styles. The new fur­ niture, the fence, and the pool interior willbeblue. This will give it a resort flavor to match the tropical landscape across the way. A blue fence will be much less obtrusive than the former black iron, bride, pillared beast The new pod deck is broader than the old oneanddearof obstructions. Eventu­ ally, trees (palm trees at this writing) will be planted in a couple of dusters around the pool.

The Quad won't really be done until after the new dormitory is finished. It will take some time after that for the last landscape plants to fill in. Until then, the Quad will look like a hurricane really did hit it. However, the pool will be done in a few weeks but the deck area, the fish, is already the most interesting looking place on campus.

is a pan of the school management philosophy to operate in "as envi­ ronmentally sound a manner as pos­ sible." "We have always been sup­ portive of and sensitive to environ­ mental issues identified both inter­ nally and by students, and we will continue to do so," assured Mr. Smolesky.

The Tbird campus has made and continues to make great strides toward becoming a wholly. environmentally responsible com- iTiuniiv.

Gflpin is History The End of an Era

Professors of the Thunder- bird International Studies Department have recently completed a new Inter­ national Political Economy Reader (compilation) to replace the Robert Gilpin text currently used for the IPE courses on campus. The book has both classic and contemporary works from such authors as Adam Smith. Peter Drucker, Alexander Hamilton. Robert Keohane, Karl Marx. Immanuel Wallerstein, Milton Fnedman. Hillary French and of course, Robert Gilpin.

The book, tentatively titled "International Political Economy- Readings on State-Market relations in the changing Global Order" has been compiled by C. Roe Goddard and John Conklin, Thunderbird Profes­ sors, as well as John T. Passe-Smith, former Thunderbird Professor, cur­ rently leaching at the University of Central Arkansas. ProfessorGoddard teaches IPE and US. Foreign Eco­ nomic Policy, while ProfessorConldJn teaches IPE and environmental courses.

The idea for the reader came about 3 years ago. Actual work was begun about two years ago. 'There was a need for it," said Professor Goddard "No single book seemed to fit the needs and we were unhappy with what was available." Not only will this text be distinguishable from cKherw'oiksbycc«Tibiningclassictheo- rieswith more contemporary applica­ tions but furthermore, it will include discussions on the political institu­ tions with specifics not usually men­ tioned in other works. The text is completely current, including discus­ sions based on the final act of the Uruguay Round

This book will be organized

in the same way as the IPE courses and will include tables, charts and graphs. The purpose was to integrate mote of the lext in classroom study. Theopen- ing section will be titled "Contending views of International Political Economy" followed by sections on Liberalism. Nationalism and Marx­ ism. The second pan discusses "Inter­ national Monetary Relations"(IMF), then the World Bank, ending with "International Trade Relations" (GATT. WTO). The final sections discuss "Transnational Enterprisesand International Production" as weD as condusioas and future thoughts.

The original texts were authored by David P. Rapkin and Jonathan R. Strand C. Roe Goddard and Melissa H. Birch. Beverly Springer. K. Sarwar Lateef. John Passe-Smith. John Conklia Hillary French, and Barry Hughes. The Pro­ fessors used feedback from the stu­ dent body, colleagues in the IS De­ partment, World Business Department and the IPE section of me interna­ tional Studies Association as well as from discipline theorists. A recent response to the book was mat it was "powerful."

Fa future Thunderbird stu­ dents, this will mean no more photo­ copies at the library, or purchasing of .eight different texts. In addition to this efficiency, this book will cut down on economic costs and wi 11 promi se to be fairly priced For us. veterans of the current LPE course, we at the end of a generation.

The soft cover compilation of 632 pages will be available in the fail through Lynne Rienner Publish­ ing out of Boulder, Colorado, one of the largest publishers in international studies, for $2195.

Workshop Initiates T'biri into Global Marketing

by Vicld Harder

Start out with your typical student marketing project, add some multinational companies, throw in some extraordinary Thirds with ideas so insightful that the clients end up using them and the final result is InterAd, the global market­ ing tool that is unique to Thunder- bird.

InterAd is the International Marketing and Advertising Work­ shop taught by Professor Frank Callahan. Groups of students work long, hard days during the semester to finally unveil their marketing plan to a panel of advertising/marketing j udges and an audience of hundreds. This year's big day is Friday. May 5th, when the two teams for Ameri­ can Insurance Group will present their marketing/advertising plans for "MexPak" in Mexico. For the first time in Inter Ad's 32 year history the teams have the same project and will compete head to head in front of the judges on InterAd day. May 5th, 1995.

Although each team mem­ ber assumes an advertising agency role, from account executive to cre- ative director, they often overlap roles to help each other. Each team is given a budget to be allocated among the members of the team for items like an intro book, storyboard rooodset, plane ticket for a market ne«j.'ari'h trip, and a marketing book.There is no room for a "group project from hell" feeling, in fact, what usu­ ally happens is that you start to fed

a sick son of attachment to your fellow group members and you can't seem to go anywhere on campus alone.

The InterAd experience Ls like no other group project on cam­ pus. Students actually apply to en­ ter the program and it is selective. The first day of class students are assigned to their teams. The teams are created after completing person­ ality profiles and are designed to include a variety of personalities and work styles. The team mem­ bers often become close friends for the semester and sometimes for­ ever. Projectsarecarefullyassigned after studying students' language skills, living, and work experience. They are then matched with a mar­ ket and product with which they are totally unfamiliar with. There is no such thing as requesting a specific market. InterAd will test your mar­ keting skills to their utmost and you will learn extensively about a new country and new product(s). InterAd'ers are international mar­ keters, not regional specialists.

A "Get Acquainted" night for InterAd will be held Thursday, April 6th at 6:30 pm in Room 55. Interested students can meet current InlerAd members, along with InterAd professor Frank Callahan and former InterAd students. Thismeeting will provide important in­ formation concerning the applica­ tion process and interested students are strongly encouraged to attend.

A couple of weeks ago, the Journal had an article on the "Hare and the Tortoise" race between China and India. It printed that one does not have to choose between the two potential ly biggest economies in the world but insinuated that the tor­ toise could win asain

Dr. Herberger responded to my question by emphatically stat­ ing that he was in an advanced state of negotiations with the Indian In­ stitutes of Management (IIM) to form an affiliation. It's going to be interesting to watch how Thirds respond to this challenge. Are we ready to go to the land of the flying carpets, king cobras and the ubiqui­ tous bullock carts? This unfortu­ nately has been the short-sighted view projected by CNN. Today, India can be ignored only by those who either lack the resources or the know-how to do business on a glo­ bal basis. It's either bad planning or bad judgment to ignore a land mass which has 1 billion people sitting right next to China home to 1.4 billion people. The two together have the potential to become the biggest economic superpowers of

the 21 st century. The financial and economic reforms set in place since 1991 are beginning to take effect on India and the old tiger seems to be changing its stripes. What was once a socialist bastion is now one of the new capitalist economies thai must

The Governor ofCalifornia to Speak

to Student Body*Governor Pete Wilson wiD

be on campus to address the student body and the Board of Trustees on Friday. April 7. The forum will be held in the AT&T Auditorium from 1:30-3:00 pm on Friday afternoon. All students arc urged to atend and bring questions as there will be a question and answer period following the Governor's address.

Pete Wilson was elected GovemorofCaiifomiain 1990,amidst some of the toughest times California has ever seen. He fought for funda­ mental change and ted his state through rough times to launch what many are calling the "California Comeback." Wilson was the first governor in the nation to sign a "Three Strikes and You're Out" HI! into bsw. Hs slso sponsored and signed California's "One Strike" law, one of the toughest laws in the country targeting rapists and child rnolesters. WUsonwasthe first governor in a quarter of a century tosupponthedeath penalty in Califor­ nia. He is a national leader in the drive to stop illegal immigration. He was the leading proponent in the success­ ful campaign to pass proposition 187, an initiative to cut off taxpayer-sup­ ported services to illegal immigrants.

TheagendaforWilson'ssec- ond term includes education reform to free parents, educators and ^indents from stifling bureaucracy: welfare re­ form to demand that the able-bodied pull their own weight and meet the test of personal responsibility; and tax re­ form to return to California's taxpay­ ers more of their labor and more op­ portunity for economic growth.

On March 23, Governor Wilson announced the formation of a presidential exploratory commiBee at a campaign-style rally that had aU the trappingsofaformal declaration ofhis candidacy. Wilson advisers said he will nin a campaign that will empha­ size basic moral values and concen­ trate on four issues: crime, welfare, immigration, and affirmative action. Wilson strongly supports abortion rights and has called for changing the Republican party'santi-abottion plat­ form Political analysts speculate that Wilson, by virtue olf his long experi­ ence and California's significance in presidential politics, would instantly join the top tier of candidates.

The long lines at the TAG and the trauma of registra­ tion will soon be a

thing of the past. Thunderbiid is in the process of implementing aTouch Tone / Voice-Response (TT/VR) system for grade reporting and reg­ istration, andsoonone'sgradesand classes will be only a phone-call away. This is part of the Informa­ tion Strategy Task Force" s long term plan to put our school on the

The TT/VR system has come to the Thunderbird campus via the combined efforts of com­ puter, telephone and administrative personnel along with some insights from the student body. The benefits of the system will be numerous and long-lasting: an end to the long hours spent in the TAG, longer reg­ istration periods, no classes missed in die name of registration, easy student access regardless of their location, and the list goes on.

The Telephone Registra­ tion Project Team invites students, faculty, staffand all other members of ihe ThunderbiKl community to submit possible names for the new system. Anything goes the Project Team will choose the six most creative ideas which will then be put to a vote during Summer Registration. You do not have to be registering to vote.

Affirmative Action ?by Shaun Daidn

"We are going to change affirmative action as we know it" What is going on here? Inthepast few weeks die publicdiscourse sur­ rounding affirmative action has beCT tramforrr«J dramatically, per­ haps completely, and will never be the same again. What was a taboo subject is now debated on National Public Radio (N"PR), the Hill, and across the country as talk radio, newspapers and lunch rooms begin thedebate. In fact. President Clinton recently spent an evening "listen­ ing" to academics, business lead­ ers, and lobbyists define, debate, defend and tear down affirmative action.

It Is a safe bet that the change in debate for affirmative action began during the "revolu­ tion" of November 1994: the Re­ publican takeover on the Hill. Prior to last year most people talked about affirmative action in the privacy of their homes, with their closest friends, or they simply did not men­ tion the subject at all.

What has led to this change? Time, economics, and people. Many white males, the group that is most affected by affir­ mative action, believe that they have done enough to help minorities and women in the USA. Some believe that enough time has passed to give those groups a chance to join the mainstream.

At the same time, how­ ever, there has been a profound change in the American psyche re­ garding economic security and the future. Affirmative Action was implemented in the '60s, when life was good, times were not tough. and the future looked bright. To­ day, though, the average American does not feel the future is as bright Many Americans, while not out of work, feel a pervasive sense of un­ certainty about the future.

I decided to do some think­ ing about what affirmative action means to me, what it means to my mother and what it means to my father. I am a white male.

I started my thinking and research on America On-line - where else for the "plugged in" generation. On the service there is an area that allows anyone to search for grants, scholarships, and fel­ lowships for students of color and both genders. I typed in Black

Male and waited The result? There were a number of scholarships avail­ able. I typed in Black Woman and Business. The result? There were even more scholarships available. Makes sense, right?

Then I typed in these two words: White Male. The result? "There were no scholarships that match your search criteria," Noth­ ing, nada. rien. There is not one scholarship available for white males.

Wait a second here. What is wrong with white males. Don't we deserve something. Now, I must admit, my life has been pretty good, no very good. I really don't deserve a thing from anybody. However, what about those white maks from the "wrong side of the tracks"? What about the poor farm boy who wants to become a doctor? Why should a rich black doctor's daughter get se­ lective admission and financial aid over a poor white male? This is exactly what is happening. Harvard can say that it has (x) % minority representation when many of those minorities come from privileged backgrounds, as. privileged as many white students with comparable scores and backgrounds. It is sim­ ply a scam.

But then I thought more. What about that rich white guy who just happens to be a good football player but is as dumb as a bam door? What about the musician, the artist, the legacy? The point is, people get jobs and get into schools for a whole range of reasons, not simply merit Are we willing to dismantle our football, music, artist programs sim­ ply so that people get things on merit? 1 think not. 1 know, myself, that I got into the school I got into as an undergraduate not becauseof my grades or scores or athletic prowess or musical talent I got in because I was "diverse." My family lived overseas.

Then I thought of my fa­ ther. He is a white, catholic, male, lawyer who went to one of the top law schools in the country. His has been a good life. He has traveled around the world. He has sent his children to the best schools he cculd afford. He has worked hand. Hehas been part of the "club" for much of bis life.

News comes everyday about the increasing strength of the yen. According to The Economic (March 4. 1995), this currency is now 64% higher against the dollar than in 1990. And this is not good news for the Japanese exporters, most of whom are now forced to deal with an unprecedented situa­ tion. The once almighty Japanese car manufacturers have not escaped from the recession of their exports: they are facing deep trouble. It is now more difficult for their cars to compete in price against American or European producers, although they are trying to shift their produc­ tion from Japan to their markets abroad, mainly the US and Europe. This caused more than one head­ ache in the headquarters of the ma­ jor names of Japan's car industry.

Jusl i<dl week, for instance. N'issan decided to close its biggest assembly plant located in Zama, south-west of Tokyo. This decision is framed in its new cost reducing policy to overcome the crises, which includes the unprecedented mea­ sure of firing up to eight thousand workers in the next few months. The production is being shifted to a new, fully-automated plant in Japan's southern island of Kyushu. Nissan hopes that substituting men for machines will help them to dras­ tically reduce costs.

But maybe it should take a look at its neighbors and see what they are doing. Toyota also built, two years ago, a huge new car fac­ tory mat, according to The Econo­ mist, was "the last word in automa­ tion." But soon the expected econo­ mies of scale proved not enough to cover the costs it generated. Even though me number of workers in the

———— ABROADIt's Toyota Again!

assembly line was logically reduced, the cost of maintenance personnel increased dramatically.

The interesting thing about Toyota, however, is their ability to react much faster than its competi­ tors, sometimes even one or two years before them. About two years ago. Toyota's executives realized that the strength of the yen would hurt their sales overseas. And, in­ deed, their fears proved to be right. as 1994 turned out to be the first year since 1987 in which overall sales declined: net income reacheda mini­ mum of ¥125 billion, as compared to ¥441 billion in 1990, a decrease of 18.33%. But forecasts for 1995 are much brighter, in spiteof the still increasing value of the yen. after having designed an implemented a new cost-cutting strategy. What is going lo make Toyoia earn more money in a time when some of its competitors are struggl ing to reduce losses?

Well, for one thing, they do not hesitate in making complete U turns when they need to. When they realized that the solution to reduce costs was not automation, they quickly shifted to labor, in spite of Japan's enormous labor costs. Catchingtheworld by surprise, they decided to build their new four- wheel-drive vehicle, named RA V4, in a completely different way. And this may.once again, becomea major revoiuuonincarmanutactunng.just as kanban and JIT techniques did when they were conceived.

For this new project, they reformed a plant at Toyota City, south-west of Tokyo, a huge manu­ facturing complex which produces as many cars per year as the whole country ofFrance. The purpose was

to restrict machines to doing those things that make workers taskseasier, but the main emphasis was B be put on people. Thus, the first things to strike the visitor are silence and brightness. No hisses, no roaring of robots and no noise from the assem­ bly lire: just peace, and los of light reflecting on the walls painted in vivid colors. Very few robots are to be seen, in fact. Here is how The Economist describes the manufac­ turing of the RAV4: "One worker. sitting on a suspended swing-like chair, grabs a dashboard suspended from another hook, lowers it into a vehicle and secures it with a few quiet clicks." The line is divided into five pans, and just four or five cars enter each section at a time. More cars will only come when the work­ ers are readv for them. Meanwhile.

finished cars leave the plant every day, and it is estimated that the productivity is twice as high as con­ ventional American assembly lines. The investment has been minimal, as automation has been cut back by two thirds, so initial costs are much lower than in a conventional mod­ ern plant and so is the break-even point Moreover, the number of de­ fects has plummeted to barely 12 percent of its previous level.

In addition to these ' miracles', Toyota has implemented technkjues developed by American manufacturers in order to further reduce costs, such as the so-called "value engineering" techniques which minimize the number of parts in a new model. Toyota now plans to use 70ft of existing pans in its new models, in an effon to simplify

bells that follow the car they are working on. And that's it! No sweat. no rushes, no revolutionary inven- tioas. Just some qualified workers in a comfortable, less stressful envi­ ronment. Everything in the plant is designed to facilitate their work, but it is them who actually 'make' the car. not the robots.

both time-wise and in terms of money.

Surely the rest of the car manufacturers around the world are now closely looking at the outcome of this new experiment. They may. once again, be forced to change their ways and mindsets in order to compete with this innovative giant named Toyota.

Herberger Announces Mandatory Drug Testing

by Frederick "of Hottywood" Rasputin

Thunderbird President Roy Herberger announced a new plan for mandatory drug testing for all new and continuing students. According to Dr. Herberger, "drug use is a serious problem facing the business world today. We must make every effort to control the spread of illegal drug use on campus."

The new policy, unveiled Friday, requires mandatory testing of all students before they complete financial registration. Tests will he sched­ uled during Orientation Week and any student who fails his or her test will be placed on probation and required to complete an authorized drug treatment and rehabilitation program.

The school's health insurance program will cover most of the costs of this program, with the student being responsible for a co-payment of $250. At the beginning of the following semester, these students will be retested. Should they fail the examination again, the students will no! be allowed to continue at Thunderbird.

Not all students and faculty, however, support the program. A group of students has enlisted the support of the ACLU to help fight the proposed plan in federal court, asserting that it violates students' right to privacy. Also, it has been reported that many of the faculty in the International Studies Department as well as a senior administration official would not pass the examination if it were given today.

Students will be receiving an official copy of the new plan in their mailboxes next week. Regardless of the results, this new plan is certain to generate much controversy at Thunderbird.

From Barings to Thunderbird, Leeson Makes a Bold Career Move

by Shareign Suremane

Thun-derbird Admin­ istration re­ cently an­ nounced the hir­ ing of a new pro­ fessor in the World Business Department. Nicholas Leeson, comes tousafterwork- ing in Singapore for a major in­

ternational investment bank. When asked why he was making this major career move, Leeson responded. " Barings just wasn't satisfying me anymore. 1 felt 1 had gone as far as I could with them."

Professor Grouse, of WB, stated that they intended to have Mr. Leeson teaching three courses in his first term. He will be teach-

Internaiional Finance and Trade, International Securities In­ vestment, as well as FOR AD. The students are very excited at the prospect of having a consumate professional instructing them in these delicate areas of Finance. One student, currently enrolled in Mathis' IF&T class, expressed his disappointment at not being able to take the class from Leeson. as "Mr. Leeson, 1 feel certain, would have appreciated my 537 million loss on the Yen in the trading game."

Leeson stated that he al­ ready has several things in mind forfbunderbird. First, he plans to invest endowment funds in the derivatives market with the intent of tripling the school's funds. A clause in his contract states that at least one building on campus will be named after him, he prefers renaming the IBIC, The Leeson Library. Also, he plans on taking Das Tor under his wing with the hopes of helping them to turn a profit. Das Tor has declined to comment. He also has grandiose plans forrevamping the IF&T trad­ ing game so that students can real­ ize real profits (or losses). Rumor has it has also been talking with Carlos Salinas (the real one) to become a visiting professor for the fall 1995 semester.

Mr. Leeson is married, has a dog named nikkei, and enjoys travelling, especially in Malaysia. His hobbies include playing snooker, swimming (he especially enjoys diving into deep water). He is an avid fan of american television. When asked his favor­ ite show, he commented. "I think that The Fall Guy" is a bloody good show." He declined to com­ ment on whether or not he consid­ ered Greg Louganis a hero, but did state that if he saw one more letter to the editor on the topic, he would vomit. His favorite color is red and he can often be seen in it.

The Revised Honor Code

fry Carin' Hahbmgh

Recently, the administra­ tion has issued a joint statement with the ALCS to install a new HonorCode for Thunderboti, based on the recent media coverage of the issue.

The Honor Code, compiled from comments made by students over the past eight semesters will include the following caveats:

!) bachstudenthastherighttobarearms.2) Each case brought before the board will be judged by a jury of pears. Judge Ito will be presiding,

3) Each student found guilty of honor code violations will be pun­ ished with a method of persecution drawn fromvarious cultures throughout the annals of history, ie, hung, drawn, and quartered; dis­ memberment; caning; burnt at the stake; forced toactuallyreadGilpin's CoDeoed Works...

4) The four violations of the honor code entail: Lying with faculty, Cheating off someone who is doing poor in the class. Stealing from the rich to give to me poor, and GHD- muter Fraud.

Every student has the right and moral responsibility to main­ tain and upholster these principals.

JOKE ISSUE

Working Class Confessions or Interaewing for Success - The Unauthorized Autobiography

by Deep Croat

"The Career Sen-ices Cen­ ter is an unlimited resource to ex­ plore. I have gained much from the career counselors patient advice" - student's words of wisdom on one of Third's innumerable resources, page 12, Thunderbird Catalog 1994- 1995.

I must confess that I have no desire to be patient with any of you. which might explain why 1 was never hired as a GA. However, I have been hired to do just about everything else, including a short job as stunt double for Keanu Reeves in "Speed."

But then the startling re­ sults came out this February in the Business Week B-School Rankings This poll indicated that Thunder- bird has the highest percentage of unemployed students by graduation, of any school where classes are not taught by livestock. This disgrace­ ful fact was quickJy brought to the attention of our watchful President, who was plainly outraged ai having been awakened during naptime.

"Something must be done!" be exclaimed. His right hand man. the Bear, agreed wholeheartedly (with the permission of his wife, of course). Thus, the Big Kahuna, the Bear and his wife huddled together in secret session in the World Busi­ ness building. The Bear's wife, who had the supreme advantage ofbeing the only one out of the three with a clue, hatched a plan.

"We need a scapegoat... I mean a leader..." she explained, "who will teach the students how to land those jobs, someone who will take die blame away from the ad­ ministration and the Career Hut Because, fellas, lets face it, the G A's suck." The men nodded demurely.

"Now," she thought aloud, "who is that person?"

My phone rang at 3 am. in the morning after that heated strat­ egy session. The fact that I was still drunk aftera fourth straight night of Jager and karoake at the Back Room softened my mood upon answering the phone.

"Who the f#@! is this?" I yelfcd.

A pause ensued, and then a tape recorded message began: "HELLO! Your household has been selected to be the recipient of a once-in-a-lifetime offer! Please stay on the line, and one of our operators will be with you to share the fantas­ tic details!" I went to the bathroom, grabbed some Advil, sauntered to the kitchen, poured some Pepsi, closed the door of my General Elec­ tric fridge, and returned to my room just in time to hear the recorded voice on the speaker of my Panasonic phone come to the end of the pre­ recorded message for the fourth straight time. I laid down on my Scaly Posturpedic mattress, think­ ing about my endorsement money, and was just about to hang up when a live voice cut in on the line.

"Hello. Hello. Mr Croatr

Shocked at the lightning speed to which they actually put a live per­ son on the line,! answered in the affirmative. A voice, which sounded suspiciously like the voice of a woman who had once been a man, began: "Your mission. Mr. Croat. should you decide to accept it. is to write an article on successful inter­ viewing. If you write this article, we will not remove your financial aid. and no member of your family will be harmed. Do you accept your task 0"

"Oh my God," I thought, "my financial aid!!" I'll do it. you cruel bastards""

Which bring us 10 the present day. So. here, to rescue fu­ ture grads from the welfare line, are the secretsof this year's most sought after B-Schoo! prospect - moi. What I am about to share with you are the heretofor unpublished techniques that landed me such diverse and desirable positions as "Package Boy" with UPS in New York. "Privatization God" in the Islamic Utopia of Uzbekistan. "Tank Degreaser"onthe Israeli border zone near Jordan, and "Weapons Spe­ cialist" forTonya Handing.

Abruptly shifting into the base humor portion of my column, I bring you: Deep Croat's Tips For the Perfect Interview:

Making a memorable first impression: When the recruiter says your name before the formal inter­ view, answer "Yeah, that's me, but everybody calls me Pocky." Offer your hand for the obligatory hand­ shake first, but when the other per­ son puts out their hand, pull yours away quickly, shouting: "Psych!!" Follow up the fake handshake with the "What's on your tie?*YSlap the Nose trick with your index finger. Wear plaid if at all possible. Plaid footwear scores double.

Perfect question responses: TosJmplify the interview, have cards with printed responses to common questions handy in your suit. Hand them to the interviewer at the begin­ ning and say: "We" vegot these ques­ tions covered. Now. what else have you got forme, Mr. Big Shot Execu­ tive?" With this kind of initiative, you'll be surprised how quickly the interview goes after that. When askedadifficult question that you're having trouble answering, start mak­ ing a buzzing noise, follow this by yelling"Ow!"and immediately slap the back of your neck. Look at your hand and go "Ugh!" and wipe the nonexistent insect on a pan of your

suit that the interviewer can't see. They will be so confused by their own curiosity and/or your apparent iasanity and lack of couth that they will certainly skip to the next ques­ tion, or save you the time and trouble by ending the interview nght there.

Switchingroles: Yourques- lions: After having made you feel six inches tall with their barrage of evil questions, there comes a time during the interrogation where you can get short, sweet revenge on your interviewer. When asked. "Now, do you have any questions'1 ." start by breaking into a large, toothy gnn. Hold the grin and rub your hands in aconspiratorial way. Throwins your he:«j hack arid :xk!;n; U ho* e»ei. optional. One of my favorites que­ ries is: "So I understand the job is in city X. Can you show me where all the good stripjointsare?"Thisques- tion is infinitely more effective with an interviewer of the opposite sex. Another interesting one to ask is: "How thorough are your background checks? I had. uh. a little trouble back east." Your honesty will most certainly work in your favor during the final stages of the selection pro­ cess.

Saving.goodbye ;:n<j fol­ lowing up. 11) ou hav e follow eJ my advice, there is little chance that the recruiter will forget you in his or her lifetime, but it never hurts to go that extra mile. At the conclusion of the interview, when the recruiter thanks you for your time, use Jesse The Body" Venture's famous closer. The pleasure, my friend, was all yours." Instead of a closing hand­ shake, bow, and say something de­ meaning in the language that you study here. Not only will this show cultural awareness, but also language proficiency. And tet'sface it, aren't you.supp<w«/tobedevelopingthose skills during your time at Thunder- bird? A final note about thank-you letters. Let me ask you a question: After the 20-45 minutes of mental torture your interviewer has put you through, you actually want to thank them for it? A letter bomb might be more appropriate. If you really did have a swell time during the inter­ view, or otherwise feel the need to do something, send them something to make you stand out as a candi­ date. A check or money order will do nicely.

Hey, it works for me.See ya "round like adonut

Right now, I've got to check up on my financial aid status.

AGSIM Students Discover New Form of Sexual Frustration Relief

Sexual frustration amongstthe Tbird student body has been reported to be at an all ume high. In this day of "Safe Sex." abstinence is apparently becoming more preva­ lent. In addition, male-female ca­ reer/commitment conflicts and the poor ratio of eligi b!e women to men has reached drastic proportions. Students at AGSIM have not been getting healthy levels of sexual re­ lief and some have been losing fo­ cus on the curriculum. Apparently a young, frustrated faculty member awaiting tenure developed a solu­ tion to both frustrations. A new course at Thunderbird was devel­

oped ... International Political Economy. After further investiga­ tion, it was revealed that not only did this professor make tenure but ihe faculty felt this course w-as so essential to prevent any more inci­ dents of student sexual frustration that they made it a mandatory class for all first semester students.

An interview with a male. first semester student revealed the secret. "Well, the course basically revol ves around the book by Robert Gilpin. To tell you the truth, I love u 1 Reading Gilpin is just like hav­ ing great sex' I mean, after just a couple of minutes. 1 tall fast asleep!"

WINTERIMWinterim in Central Europe: A Bohemian Rhapsody

PART I CZECH REPUBLIC by Ncae LaMar

As one not allowed to enter the Eastern Bloc nations until about halfway through my tour of duty in Germany, Winterim in Central Eu­ rope provided a perfect opportunity to see just how far these recently freed nations have come, and how far they still have to go. Under the guidance of Dr. Curt Harvey and Dr. Earl Gibbons, the program be­ gan in Prague. Czech Republic, then proceeded on to Bratislava. Slovakia; Budapest, Hungary: Vienna. Austria; Ljubljana, Slovenia; the Slovenian Riviera on the Adriatic, then finally to Croatia's Istrian Peninsula. Six nations in three weeks! When I first began to write this (two months too late!). I discovered I couldn't do any of the six nations justice by trying to cram everything into just one article. Therefore 1 will write a separate article on each.

It all began on January 4 as we arrived by various means at the Czechoslovak Management Center. an institution Dr. Gibbons got up and running when he was with the University ofPittsburgh. It is housed in a former Communist Party train­ ing center in Celakovice. northwest of Prague. Dr. Gibbons recalls dur­ ing the facility's conversion having had all the building's old electrical wiring removed and having it en­ tirely rewired, in addition to teach­ ing them how to mow the yard! It was i ntcresting that the one frequency radios in our rooms were holdovers from the previous era, although in­ stead of propaganda, they now blared the sounds of Euro-techno, Falco. and even Milli Vanilli! In addition

to lectures on the privatization process and FDI, we toured the open vat Staropramen Brew­ ery, which recently signed a joint venture with Bass Ltd, and the Skoda auto plant and mu­ seum in Mlada Boleslav.

which, since 1991, has been the fourth brand within the Volkswagen famil y of vehicles. The current unemploy­ ment rate in the Czech Republic is 3 1/2%. most of which is structural.

Although there are 100.000 newly unemployed per month, due to obsolete factories closing, the economy is growing quickly enough that there are 100.000 new jobs cre­ ated each month. In fact, at present. Prague itself has a net labor shortage. Due to a lack of resources in the past. Czechs have had to be fundamen­ tally innovative.

The intellectual capital of this nation really proved itself be­ tween the two world wars, when Czechoslovakia was the sixth most developed country in the world. Ac­ cording to the Organization for Eco­ nomic Cooperation & Development

(OECD), prior to its split. Czecho­ slovakia had an average level of secondary education (where edu­ cation standards and degrees are compared for quality and degree of difficulty) among its citizenry higher than that of Germany, its closest competitor educationally, then the United Kingdom, then the USA, Sweden. Canada, and France. The industrial development here is also testament to the fact that, among its college-educated popu­ lace, 53* of former Czechoslo­ vaks had science or engineering degrees, as compared with Ger­ many (31*). Sweden (25%). Ja­ pan (24cf). the United Kingdom (249).andtheUSA(14%). Prague today, is Bohemian in more ways than one. With some 20,000 Ameri­ cans already there, some compare it to Paris of the '20s! In its Old Town, which was basically intact throughoutWorld War II. we visited the ba roque St. Nicholas Church, the 14th century Old Town Hall, with its Astronomical dock with twelve apostles and a bell-ringing skel- eton, and the artists' Charles Bridge.

The New Town is dominated by Wenceslas Square, Prague's Champs-Elysees, PicadiOy Circus, and Times Square, all rolled into one!

At oneend below the statue of King Wenceslas, although they are gone no w. is where many wreaths and photos of the martyrs of Com­ munism were when I first visited Prague in 1991. Our meeting with Third alumni at historic U Fleku pub was a mixed bag.

by Worth Laflin

This past January, Profes­ sors Nelson and Lauterbom led the inaugural Winterim trip to Chile and Peru By all account .sit was an extraordinary suc­ cess. These countries pro- videagoodcontrast in which to look at the successes and failures of opening up an economy. i

Chile is a land of stark contrasts; from the arid Atacama desert in the North to the snow-capped peaks of the Andes, from the glacial landscape of Patagonia to its lush central valley. Its recent political and economic history is also full of contrasts; from thepopulist socialist policies of Allende to the gung-ho capitalist policies of Pinochet. It was in the context of the latter that they visited CMe.

As the students began to arrive on the 2nd and3rdofJanuary, excitement grew in anticipation of upcoming events in Chile. These

Winterim in South Americaincluded lectures on Chile's economy and politics, visits to the Chilean Stock Market Unilever and

Citibank, a round table discussion on doing business in Chile, and the oppor­ tunity to meet Thun- derbird alumni.

One of the high­ lights of the stay in Santiago was the round tablediscussionondoing busi­ ness in Chile. The panelists in­ cluded Stephen Mciaughlin, a com­ mercial attache with the U.S. Em­ bassy and two Thunderbird alumni; Mike McAdams. an international consultant, and Victor Haupt, Vice PresidentofMarbellaResort,one of the swankiest resorts in Chile. They had a much clearer idea of what the students' interests were, and they were able to give honest answers on where and how to find jobs in Chile.

The much ballyhooed Thunderbird network is alive and well in Chile. The alumni in

Santiago threw a parry that was a great success. Turnout was impres­ sive and all of the alumni seemed to know each olherquitewcll. It seems that their first Tuesday meetings are quite popular. Finally, what Thun­ derbird trip would be complete with­ out a little party? With this in mind,they boarded a bus fora trip to the Conch y Toro Winery on the outskirts of Santiago. The quality of the wine was superb and many stu­ dents brought home souvenirs from the winery. After seeing the success that Chile has enjoyedin openingup their economy, Peru was a logi­ cal next step. Having just embarked on a similar course to Chile, it was in­ teresting to see what the economy was like in its infancy. It was very different

The arrival in Lima was a shock to the system, although not totally unexpected Compared to the development of Chile, Peru seemed

like a poor relative who aspires to belikehis/herrichcousins. Oddly, the steering wheel on one taxi from the airport was on the right hand side in a country where they drive on the right. Dr. Nelson asked the driver about this and was told that it was sometimes cheapertobuyright- hand drive cars because of the new economic agreements between Ja­ pan and Peru.

As in Chile, the itinerary in Peru was full and impressive. The group starred out at PROMPERU,

the business promotion bureau of Peru. The following day was spent at the Universidad de Piura. The morning was taken up by a roundtable dis­ cussion on doing busi­

ness in Peru. The panel included a representative from the U.S. Em- bassyandManuelCapurro.aTbird alum and entrepreneur. Discus­ sions also took place on banking.

MISC.Calling Afl Used Testbooks!

by GOT Wfimtfin

The Rotaract Club is ask­ ing for your participation in an ex­ citing project. In conjunction with the Thundercorps, the Thunderbird AMA and the AMA of Phoenix, a book drive is being held to benefit universities in Eastern Europe. In the coastandy changing atmosphere of the various countries in Eastern Europe and their growing openness to communication with the Western world, students and professors are craving new information. Their se­ lection is limited and their sources are very outdated.

We are currently assisting the Adammisckiewicz University in Poznan, Poland through Dean Warner, alumni and owner of the Global Market on campus. Dear. Warner has been working closely with Dr. Leo Ryan who is currently a professor at DePaul University in Chicago and who has also taught at the university in Poland Books are

also being collected for the Vytautas University in Kaunas, Lithuania to assist the efforts of the AMA of Phoenix. As of now. when a new text book arrives on one of these campuses, a professor has the right to check the book out for one full year. The students rarely receive the timely benefits of new informa­ tion.

This is an excellent way for the entire Thunderbird community to join together in a campus-wide effort to help those that are less fortunate than ourselves. All this prqjcc. aik.s of us is to take the time to check our shelves, raid our clos­ est and search under our beds for those textbooks for which we had great intentions of using again, but never did.

The books are to be busi­ ness related but can cover all areas taught here at Thunderbird. Finance, International Trade Strategies. In­ ternational Relations topics as they relate to business. Decision Mod­ els, Management Information Sys­ tems. Marketing Research. Statis­ tics, etc.; they are all acceptable! In addition to textbooks, we are col­ lecting Case Packets and Source Books. The only requirement that we must ask for is that these materi­ al s have a copyright of 1990 or after and that they are in relatively good condition.

The drive has begun! The drop-off place is in the Global Mar- ket.nextdoortothepostoffice. Tell your friends, te!! vo«jr fsmily. it's a great way to rid yourself of unused books and to help others in the pro­ cess. If you have any questions, please contact Gen Weinstein at 978-1402. Thank You!

Avina's: Vietnamese Cuisineby Dorryl Turner

If you have not yet had the opportunity to give Avina's a try. (SAV comer of 43rd Ave. and Bell, next to Fry's). I would highly rec­ ommend a visit Appetizers, soups, entrees and desserts all deserve rec­ ognition for their unique and re­ freshing flavors. Several dishes are influenced by the use of mint, and lemon grass, which are two charac­ teristic ingredients to Vietnamese cooking. Asasuggestion.youmight want to try something from the ap­ petizer list. This will provide you with a tasteful hint of things to come.

The quantity of food is an- otherplus. Fellow Thirds who have been here can tell you that servings do not tendto run small. AtAvina's.

your money can still buy a decent quantity andquality. Also, the menu has been expanded to encompass a variety of new selections. Some of these include traditional desserts of handmade coconut milk ice cream, fried banana served with ice cream and rice pudding, to mention a few.

The owners of Avina's,

Phat, Trahn and their daughter Avina Nguyen, strive to make every cus'tomer'sexpcricnceamemorable one and they wil 1 go out of their way to do so. A case in point is their willingness to change a dish to your request. If one does not like a cer­ tain iteme.g., mint or bambooshoots. there is no need to be shy, let them know and they will prepare a deli­ riously altered dish. They will also be happy to prepare your order to the level of spiciness you desire.

Avina's does not serve al­ cohol, but B.Y.O.B. is accepted. Otherwise, you might enjoy a Viet­ namese coffee served with sweet­ ened, condensed milk. Thirds also receive a 1 5% discount off their bill.

Yes, I am Unemployedby Ray Rachauaam

What is it tike to be an man- ployed recent Third graduate sol] Bv- inginGIendale? You probably do n<x spend much time thinking about such things but perils you should be­ cause inere is this smaD possibility that you too win be in this atuatksn m a few mon&s. Wim me. this was no coinci­ dence. I plarmed it this way. During my last semester I spent ray job search time exploring possible careers and determining what I waited to do and where I wanted to do it Most of ray friends who havegraduated before me did not wait to stick around after graduation. I did not understand why. There are great resources to help with the job search which include career services, the library aid professors, as well as that most important social aspect.

Perhaps now after three months of being in this - out of school job search situation -1 can understand the need toescapeGlendaleand more irnportandy.Thunderbird. When one is unemployed the psychological vul- nerabiLty increases ten fold and at the same time the support that used to be there, i.e. fellow class mates, slowly diminishes. They have either gradu­ ated and left or are busy with their studies. Slowly but surely, the unem­ ployed alum (UA)findshimsdfout of the social circle. On top of that the most popular question one Is asked is ho* b> the job search going? 1 soil have not found the best answer to this nx*>t annoying question. What u, wrong with just asking how are you? Dearly if the search was going so well I would not be searching anymore!

And then there is the altitude of the school which I find disturbing andwrong. Ihavetoclariry whenlsay this. The administrators and the pro­ fessors are great. They are under­ standing to the needs of the UA and they are kind and supportive. How­ ever the school has a few policies which make it very clear that the UA is not welcome.

The computer center will charge alumni S50 for the use of com­ puters for one semester. The school does no) do that for the money, after all what is S50? But it dearly signals to the UA who has no computer and needs these services to print cover letters and resumes mat they are not supposed to be there. I would like to see the school offer a grace period of one semester to show support and

understanding.Another pobcy that makes

no sense comes from the Alumni Re­ lations Office. The same office that wiD keep track of us forme rest of our lives and will ask us for donations doses theoborcn IB when we come» ask for the alumni listings- You may not know this because like me you were fooled by page 8 in die catalog thinking tha the 27,QOOalumni will be a resource available to you in your job search upon graduation. Thinkagam. You are only eligible to get the listing sixmonthsafterytxirgrdduanon. The reason is to protect sensitive alumni from getting junk mail and annoying phone calls. It almost makes sense until one examines the effect of such a policy.

In terms of protecting the li« from the hands of recent graduates the policy fails because all one needs todo is have a feflow friend who had gradu­ ated one semester prior get the infor­ mation for you. I do not know of a single graduate who did not get the lists they needed using this method. So what does the Alumni Relations Office achieve by showing the new alumni thai they are unwanted aid second da<« in the alumni world? I think a more supportive approach would be to give new members of the alumni community the lists they need, but also make it clear that if there are more than five complaints on im- properuseofthelLsLs.amonthlyneus- kner on CompuServe will list the abusers name for everyone to see aid know.

The bottom line is this: To have a strong and committed alumni community the relationship between the school and the most recent alumni shouWbecuWvated Theschoolisnot only missing out on an opportunity to create this relationship, it is making it dear that we are unwanted

Oh. 1 almost forgot, the an­ swer to my question, what is it like to be an unemployed recent Thunder- bird graduate still living in Gendate? his great Firstofall.Iamproudofmy M.LM. degree aid of the respect I receive when I mention Thunderbird's name. Secondly, I enjoy being in Arizona. The weather is great and now I have time toenjoy it Thirdly, aid most importantly. I am enjoying the job search process.

Thunderbird Soccer 1995First Semester Students Crack Under Pressure

ByS.LCIemens

Granted, this writer was a first semester student once, and it is generally accepted that the IPE mid­ term is a brutal right of passage. However, it is hard to believe that any true futbol aficionado would let something as banal as a mid-term prevent one's self from enjoying an afternoon on the pitch. At any rate, several teams did meet, and some surprising results surfaced in the end. Most of the players were Gilpin vet­ erans who could not help but chuckle at the steady stream of brainwashed zombies stumbling, drooling, from the TAG. Here are the results from Week 6:

Last week's paper was not even at the praters when one of last week's predictions came true. Los Compadres, led by Ivan Amayo and Fernando Migliassi. pulled off an upset of major importance by de- fearing Los Jodidos 11, 3-1. Even great defensive plays from the likes of Jorge Trujillo and Craig Wade could not put the team over the top. The playoff picture tightens as no team can boast an undefeated record.

Meanwhile, in another game, the White Knuckle Shuffle accepted yet another forfeit from Den Glade Laxen, However, all is not lost as D.G.L. took the opportu­ nity to announce that, much like Michael Jordan's return, last semester's star. Torbjom Album, would be returning for an undis­ closed number of games. Team Manager and all-around swell guy Brett Beals refused to comment on contract terms.

The Inbreds and Team Chaos caved into the IPE pressure and did not show at all. However, several members were noted stum­ bling around the pub and the Afnca Club party crying toorganizeabook- burning extravaganza in honor of someone named Gilpin. Look at it this way everybody. Karl Marx would have been proud

Now. in an extra, added segment, begins an in-depth per­ sonal look at some of your favorite teams. This week's team biography looks at the W.K.S. led by Matt "The Lumberjack" Ovian. W.K.S. is comprised of mostly third semes­ ter students who are beginning to fee! the pressure involved with be­ ing SW.CXX) in debt and jobless. The offensive unit is led by Jorge "FORAD" Goncalves. Gabriel "El TTiburdn" Huerta, and Chris 'Ter­ minator" Ackermann, who even though injured time and time again, always comes back for more.

Midfield control is left to Lucho Jefe de Todo, Furkan "The Rookie" Firat, and John "Arc you sure he knows what team he's on?" Loyack. In the back with the Lum­ berjack, Andy "Detroit or Bust" Ellison and Miles "Calabaza" Kan control any fool who even dreams about scoring. Last but certainly not least comes Vicente "Atle"tico" DeGregorio. a man who poses a threat to any team whenever he steps on the field. Watch for this squad in the finals!

Next week more team bios anda great redpefor banana bread...

Affirmative Actioncontinued from p. 4

and toes on your body. Today, his workplace is almost 50% female and his boss is a woman.

" How about my mother. When she went to college in the late 50'sandearly60'smost women stud­ ied home economics or nursing. My mother "broke" the mold and stud­ ied of all things. English and French. After graduating from UVM, get­ ting married and moving to NYC, she received her Masters in Clinical Psychology. Today my mother is theexecutivedirectorofanon-profit organization based in Washington. DC whose primary purpose is the

development of women leaders in the workplace. Her organization draws women from all workplaces, women who would not have been in those positions 30 years ago, and attempts to put them in places of powerand leadership. Thirty years ago my mother would never be doing that which she loves: running things.

So what have I learned dur­ ing this process. I learned that affir­ mative action is under attack, that affirmative action has produced in­ equities, and that affirmative action has given my mother the chance to

pursue adream. 1 know that if 1 have a daughter her life choices wiD be more exteasive than my mother's mothercouldhave imagined. All in all. more people from more back­ grounds have been given access to more schools and job opportunities then ever before. Diversity is what makes this nation what it is and diversity will continue todefine what this country will become.

Thunderbird Rugby Undefeated

by Derek McCaOum

The Thundertird Rugby team has just completed another stellar season, going undefeated at home, and losing only three games in the last two semesters including tournament play. The weekend be­ fore last. Thunderbird Rugby dem­ onstrated its abilities again defeat­ ing Desert Legion 26-3.

It was a windy Saturday when the men in red took the field to battle the army base team from Si­ erra Vista. The game started slowly but even this pace seemed quick for some as injuries occurred early. Marcei Easter, co-coacfi ami trainer for the squad twisted his knee and had to sit out the remainder of the game.

On the same play. Thun­ derbird scored its first of the game as Molonai Hola carried three defend­ ers over the line for the try. Thetry was convened by Derek McCallum making the score 7-0 and giving the Thirds the lead which they never relinquished,

Hay continued and again the T'birds capitalized on a Desert Legion mistake, but this time it was Alejandro Mikrow going in for the try. In a burst of speed like comic book hero The Rash. Alejandro darted betweendefendersand scored Thunderbirds second try ofthe game. Again, it was converted and Thun­ derbird was up 14-0.

At this point, the Thunder- bird Rugby team seemed comfort­ able with their lead and began to let Desert Legion back into the game. Desert Legion made a couple of attempts and were able to get close to the try line but were never able to score. It was at this point, however, that Desert Legion was able to score on a penalty kick from about 35 yards out

With the score 14-3 in fa­ vor of the "Thirds and Thunderbird realizing they had been letting up, a strong drive soon followed. In a text-book like fashion, forward Scan

Murphy pulled the ball out of a maul, made the pass to Akjandro Mikrow. who then had the baddine all set up. Thepasseswentfromend toendofthe line, with Andy Schnadt being the recipient of the final pass and the free lane to the try zone. For a third time, the try was converted, and Thunderbird had a comfortable 21-3 lead going into the half.

The second half of the match became a contest of endur­ ance as the forwards had to endure the entire game with no substitu- tioas. Honorable mention goes to Chris Kohler who played two dif­ ferent forward spots including one he had never played before. As this match wore on, it was the forwards of both teams doing the majority of the work.

The TTnrd forwards showed their strength by driving down the field and pushing back Desert Legion, until Scan Murphy ploughed into the try zone for Thunderbirds fourth and final try of the game. The conversion was missed however, due to a strong gust of wind from the west and Thunderbird held a lead of 26-3.

Amidst the skirmishes and tension between the 2 teams, the game continued despite a couple of outbreaks, in the end Thunderbird held on to victory. This win com­ pleted an undefeated home season for the Thirds and sends them off on a peak. By the time you read this, do not congratulate the Rugby team on its incredible accomplishments. but instead, ask them how they did as they will just be returning from a tournament at Duke University.

This past weekend Thun­ derbird Rugby competed at an inter­ national competition in Durham North Carolina at the Duke Rugby tournament. Teams from graduate schools from all over the U.S. as wefl as Canada and England will be there andT birdplans to come home with the first place trophy.

Their Loan Portfolio

Our Loan Portfolio

You won't find loans for boats, cars or homes as part of our portfolio. Unlike most lenders, Southwest/AELMAC special­ izes in student loans. And that means no one understands your needs quite like we do.

For example, we know that one of your biggest needs right now is money to cover your expenses as well as your tuition. So we currently offer the lowest origination fee in the coun­ try*. That translates to a bigger loan check - and the extra funds you need to buy books and supplies.

For more information, call us toll free at 1/800/237-2357 We can't loan you money for a car, but we'll help get you where you're going. Applies to Subsidized Stafford and PLUS bans for 199>% school year at eligible institutions.
