Remember what happened to banks in the U.S. when the efficiency of the capital markets was enhanced? Large corporations began to use the capital markets directly without any intermediation from the banks. In some cases they were able to borrow directly at rates below what the banks paid. for example, with commercial paper. Banks were cut out of the large corporations' bor- rowing program.

There are still many remaining restrictions including those that are intended to do nothing more than protect the investor, as do the SEC regulations in the U.S. These U.S. restric- tions effectively keep out foreign corpora- tions oriented toward secrecy and those that wish to tap the U.S. capital markets quickly. Equally important are the restrictions in the Swiss and Japanese capital markets that in- hibit ready access for large volume issues.

Bridging the Cultural Gap By Philip S.Gutis As the commercial titans of the postwar world, most United States businessmen and women have tended to believe that everyone can or should speak English and understand American ways. To correct that attitude among future managers, two graduate schools have developed intensive programs in what they call "cross-cultural communications," or global management." They combine a study of the culture the political system, religion, anthropology and the language of a country or region, with traditional business school courses. "Historically, many international business courses spent most of their time speaking about international blunders by American businessmen," said Jerry Wind, director of the Joseph H. Lauder Institute of Management and International Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. "Now, we are trying to develop a cultural sensitivity." As an example. Dr. Wind said, the in- stitute is planning a course in which foreign businessmen and women square off against American students in mock negotiating situations. One of the nuances of interna- tional negotiations of which the Americans will quickly become aware, he said, is physical space: Americans generally prefer to keep much greater distance between themselves than is normal in other cultures. Still, "there is no checklist that says. If you are negotiating with X, you do YY* he said. If students are properly sensitized, they will get enough clues so that they will know what to do." Robert Moran. director of cross-cultural communications at the American Graduate School of International Management of Phoenix commonly known as Thunderbird. after the deactivated pilot- training center that served as the school's first campus said his curriculum seeks to implant skills for life in other cultures. "We know they are different, but how do we work effectively with them?" he said. To develop those skills, Thunderbird uses case studies and. like the Lauder Institute, role playing in which American students negotiate with foreign students. "After a short while," Dr. Moran said, "you can generally feel the nationalism, the restraints." Cultural differences quickly surface, for example, in mock negotiations between American and Asian students. -The American team is prepared to make a deci- sion fairly quickly," Dr. Moran said. The Asian team is not so willing. The result is frustration, and inappropriate, ineffective behavior that does not help the Asians make a decision, but hinders their process."

Bridging the Cultural GapBy Philip S.Gutis

As the commercial titans of the postwar world, most United States businessmen and women have tended to believe that everyone can or should speak English and understand American ways.

To correct that attitude among future managers, two graduate schools have developed intensive programs in what they call "cross-cultural communications," or global management." They combine a

study of the culture the political system, religion, anthropology and the language of a country or region, with traditional business school courses.

"Historically, many international business courses spent most of their time speaking about international blunders by American businessmen," said Jerry Wind, director of the Joseph H. Lauder Institute of Management and International Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. "Now, we are trying to develop a cultural sensitivity."

As an example. Dr. Wind said, the in­ stitute is planning a course in which foreign businessmen and women square off against American students in mock negotiating situations. One of the nuances of interna­ tional negotiations of which the Americans will quickly become aware, he said, is physical space: Americans generally prefer to keep much greater distance between themselves than is normal in other cultures.

Still, "there is no checklist that says. If you are negotiating with X, you do YY* he said. If students are properly sensitized, they will get enough clues so that they will know what to do."

To the Editor:Recycled Exam Papers

There has been a good response to my call for informa­ tion about professors who repeat old and sometimes not so old > exam papers I gave several examples of this to the Ad­ ministration in September, and I have just given them another one from the midterms.

If you are given an exam paper which you have seen before, please report it to Vice President Geer. Alternative­ ly. if you prefer to remain anonymous, please report it to me. and I will handle it discretely.

Fortunately, the problem seems to be narrowing down to only a couple of exceptionally lazy professors.

New Apathy is "Nouveau Chic"

Editor:Tuesday, November 6. is a general ejec­

tion, whia Includes electing our next presi­ dent. Unfortunately, close to half of the American populace will not cast a ballot. This percentage includes AGSIM students.

According to an informal survey on cam­ pus, many students are not voting, either by absentee ballot or directly. The pat excuses include: "My mother didn't send my absentee ballot;" 'They are both bad;" "I don't care."

1 find it appalling that supposedly adult students at a graduate school of interna­ tional business should carry such attitudes. A mentality that being politically blase and non-participatory in the electoral process is totally acceptable and Muvetu dUe per­ vades this campus. One apathetic T-bird ac­ cused me of "having politics on the brain." This is true. (What about sex. drugs and rock 'n roll?) Apathy is a cancer. H is a synonym for civic irresponsibility, intellec­ tual vacuity, and social sloth.

As educated Americans and rising inter­ national business people, we have a respon­ sibility to participate in tbe electoral pro­ cess. It is inexcusable to act otherwise. A nation can only be considered a democracy if tbe polity takes pan. As representatives of the U. S. abroad, we will be called on to answer for, and perhaps justify, the actions Of the most oouwrful «v"^^ of «*rtfa. The repercussions of IT. S. policies abroad «reoften condemned by other governments and their citizens. We will. In effect, be diplomats. This is an arduous role to play.

Political sophistication is an asset in the "real world." For this reason, institutions such as AGSIM teach courses on politics. In your business courses here, both marketing and finance, you may have noticed that political factors affect business, from ex­ change rates to Joint ventures. This is what the guys working in the White House, Capitol Hill, Pentagon and Foggy Bottom are all about. At the same time, political factors affect tbe status of the human race, i.e.. who eats and who doesn't, who fights and who doesn't. Keep all this in mind onTucsday BetsyCarr

Consider When You Vote...1. Republican politicians and voters have through history

smoked, doped, drunk and soed less than Democrats, were more intelligent more successful! <sic> in business before becoming presidents. Read John Flynn's "Roosevelt Myth," B. T. Washington's -Up from Slavery."

a. me Republican treed ttoe slaves (Lincoln)... Democrats opposed It.

3. Republicans have always favored greater individual freedom and less govt. meddling. Read V. Ill, H. Hoover's Memoirs. Depressions caused by bought and stored govt. commodities. Aside from the military, post office, and govt. service, govt. does nothing economically.

4. F. D. Roosevelt, the father of the Democratic Party as we know it today, was a failure in business, never made a penny, was the first to recognize Russia, had communists sleeping in Lincoln's bed, and after six years In the White House (during depression), bad more unemployment than at the beginning. Campaign speeches he made fat 1932 (about -planned economy") could have come out of Marx's writing. Read Bible, Manchester's Biographies.

5. Reagan's administration has seen greatly reduced In­ flation, much improvement in Job market, improved na­ tional dignity, more courteous police service, and a much- needed reminder to the American public that this nation can not survive when it's (sic) energies are constantly spent on smoking, doping, doping and endless pursuit of sex. Read Reagan's Where's the Rest of Me."

6. Abortion is simply murder, a madness, and the only ac- tion is to outlaw it. Hart's promises of free abortion appeals to degenerates... demagogery (sic).

7. People who do not smoke and drink and chase sex can take care of themselves (without govt. help) and anyone having employment and financial trouble should junk ob­ vious foolishness until they are solved.

8. The truth is that Democrats get themselves elected by appealing to the unimaginative, the stupid, the homosex­ ual, welfare recipients (a very high percentage of whom got in that predicament by immorality). Carefully examined. Social Security is a grass swindle, and Medicare is a madness. TV A was never economical. Read the appendix in Reagan's book, "Where's the Rest of Me." Handout money for abortions, degenerates and leeches is desperately need­ ed for defense.

9. This is written by someone who lives in the street and is not a millionaire. Democratic candidates are competing to see who will promise most abortions and handouts to whores and leaches (sic).

10. Businessmen (Republicans) are much more tolerant of individual eccentricities than government beurocrats (sic). Police state and welfare state go together. Since Lin­ coln, Republican presidential candidates of higher moral character.

11. If you examine the story of their lives, you would see that the signers of the Declaration of Independence would all be Republicans today .

12. When I was a kid, 40 years ago, there was no mari­ juana, women did not smoke in public (and if she smoked at all she was considered a whore), there were not "GAY" Parades, and people inclined to this did not advertise it.

13. I've three brothers who are millionaires (though I have nothing) and they all made it on their own, starting with nothing, by hard work. Read Cooiidge's autobiography.

14.1 am well educated (MA 58 Vandertilt), read lots of history and biography and am crazy about Reagan. AD of his life be has displayed very high character.

15. Not necessarily to support all of his acts, but Hitler spoke truthfully in 1924 in Mein Kampf.

In Our Midst...To the Editor:

My indoctrination to life in a large city came quickly. In 1970 my family moved from our woodsy nest in the nor­ theast to the then booming metropolis of Houston. During my first week of junior high there, my 3-speed bike was stolen. I had failed to realize the necessiry to lock it the first time I rode it to school. I never made that mistake again.

When I moved to Austin to attend college, my roommate and I found we were able to leave our house unlocked with no fear of thieving.

When I came to AGSIM I was happy to perceive an at­ mosphere even more secure than my neighborhood in Austin. We were living in a collegiate resort, buffered from the realisms of the outside world by acres of ballooning grounds and gaming turf. Those allowed in constituted a group beterogeoous in demographics, but surprisingly homogenous In attitudes. Together with a belief of understanding, and an appreciation for compromise and acceptance of differing cultures, we are ONE here at Thunderbird. That is why I was so surprised at the amaz­ ingly overt betrayal of this unity last Saturday (the 20th) at Monte Carlo night.

I am not so idealistic that I was not keeping an eye on the ASLC sound system, for which I have responsibility especially during the auction when people were gathered around the stage. But I was surely shocked when I saw a certain fellow begin to manipulate a bottle erf wine with his foot. < I had won that wine in an earlier raffle and had set it on the floor next to the sound system.) 1 watched closely to be sure it wasn't an inadvertent attempt to gain better footing to participate in the auction.

Once again he booked the bottle with bis foot and slid it behind bis legs. Standing five feet away. I was screaming at a with my thoughts, asking him if he really thought he could get away with this? I pointed out this apfwenttbett in progress to my friend standing next to me, and we decided not to approach this fellow unless he actually picked it up and started off with it.

My positioning was now such that be could not walk out without brushing shoulders with me. We watched in amaze­ ment as tmsfeUow reached down to scratch his leg and con­ tinued his reach to grab the neck of the wine bottle He regained his posture and started walking, carefully placinc tbe wine bottle inside his coat jacket By the time be-reach, ed me, the bottle was no longer visible and he appeared

Cultural Gap in Our Midstthe Asians.

To operate effectively in Moslem coun­ tries, said William Voris, president of Thunderbird, "You must understand the Moslem religion, what the Koran means. The whole day is governed by the religion."

Thunderbird. which developed its cross- cultural communications program in 1976, and the Lauder Institute, which was started a year ago with a JlO million grant from the cosmetics family, have gor_e further than other business schools in internationalizing their curriculum. The goal, said Reginald H Jones, chairman emeritus of the General Electric Company and chairman of the Lauder board of governors, is to "export a cadre of American citizens that can handle themselves abroad."

Students at the Lauder Institute, which was established last year, take classes in a selected core curriculum at the Wharton School, and also enroll in liberal arts courses in their regional concentration: Western Europe, East Asia, Latin America or the United States and Canada for students studying English as a foreign language. They also spend two summers abroad, including one at a foreign corpora­ tion or a foreign subsidiary of a United States company. Students who successful!) complete the institute's two-year program earn two master's degrees ta business^d- ministration from Wharton, and in the art£

Lite the Lauder Institute, ThunderbW focuses on training in business, language and culture. But the program, which leads to a master's degree to intematiooal management, takes one year to complete and does not involve any foreign intern­ ships.

Possibly the most significant immpact ol the Lauder program. Dr. Wind said, is the mternationalization of the entire Whartor business and management curriculums Professors who teach business courses for the institute must internationalize tbeii syllabuses, introducing an international ele­ ment to all their courses.

Robert H. B. Wade, director of tne Washington office of the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, said the trend toward global management programs is likely to accelerate.

He added that the largest obstacle to in­ ternationalizing business school cur­ riculums is the faculties' lack of apprecia Uon of its importance. "We find that most subjects are stUl being taught as if all business stopped at the water's edge," ht said. The most important objective now i$ to internationalize the existing courses."

I am not sure bow this aspect of his character will translate (if at all) when this fellow attempts to carve his career in inter­ national management; but to him, I propose a toast with Dubonnet:

Grades are higher than they have been in the past. More and more students are teceWngA's; why? Are theglasses less challenging? Are the goals and objecUves set by some professors too low? Arepr* fessors being pressured by students. Grades are seen as an indicator of student

ability and, consequently, affect the school's reputation. Evidently the school loses credibility when more and more students graduate with higher GPA's. The school's administrators feel there should not and will not be a set curve or quota relating to pass­ ing and failing.

Suggestions: Academic standards must be raised through strengthening of course goals and objectives, requiring more from students (quality work). It was felt by a few administrators that higher grades should be expected from graduate students. Or maybe the potat to stress is learning, and grading" should not be an excuse to satisfy statistics. The statistics 1 received on the grade inflation seem to show that the ML department has given out more A's than the other departments. But we must keep in mind that the ML classes are smaller. The grading is done in a more subjective way (progress and achievement) than with a quiz or test that indicates a specif ic grade.

1 leave each of you to decide what you think about grade inflation.

The administrators I interviewed are very interested to your input. I am in the process of organizing a forum where you, the students, can voice your opinions to the ad­ ministrators. (The date and time wttl be advertised.) to the meantime, any com­ ments, suggestions or constructive criticisms can be placed to my box 2089.Thank you.

Oct. 2f, MM—DAS TO*-3International Finance Revolution

continued Iroi& psgcbilaterally matching needs, me field is necessarily limited.

It is interesting to note that no interaa- tional organization has jurisdiction over capital controls. GATT looks after trade restrictions while the IMF looks after cm-­ rent payment restrictJoos. Overseeing oi capital flows fell through a crack to the post World War II financial planning and im­ plementation. Capital flows were not con­ sidered important at that time.

Now capita! flows are the tail that is wag­ ging the dog. Capital moves not just to finance trade and investment, it flows to find the highest return. la this competition for capital, the international monetary and trade arrangements have been turned on their heads The IMF only permits countries to maintain restrictions on current payments to ensure control oi capital flows where they do not have any jurisdiction If these countries are now going to nave to compete actively for capital, the only way they can get it is to free up capital controls and offer an attractive economic environ­ ment. The elimination of capital controls will, indirectly, solve the current wave of protectionism in trade. Those countries that choose not to compete for international capital will doom their citizens to economic growth rates far below potential.

International banks in the 1970's under­ took the recycling of the OPEC surpluses. They now have an overexposure to LDC's and are attempting to manage the situations with the aid of economic restructurings, whkh are often overseen by the IMF. To ob­ tain new capita], these LDC's are going to look elsewhere - to MNC's and other

private capital providers. Such flows will not be attracted to countries with capital controls.

Because of the problems that banks have bad in their international lending, con- trollership functions are being enhanced. In­ ternational lending in its traditional role is befag downgraded whie fee income produc ing activities such as cash management ser­ vices, swaps and options are increasingly important. It is not mat international ten­ding will be eliminated, it is just that other areas of banking expertise are growing relatively more quickly, and mat's where you want to go to achieve the best op­ portunities.

As international capital markets become more efficient and more directly accessible by corporations, MNC's will need the exper­ tise to access these markets directly. Thus international skills in the corporate environ­ ment are going to be at a premium. The cor- porate market is a growth area.

Then too toe security firms and invest­ ment banks are invading each other's capital markets and. as this happens, inter national financial skills become very impor­ tant.

And don't think Just because most finan­ cial transactions are conducted in English that foreign language and cultural skills are wasted. They are not. And it is those language and cultural skills that allow you to be truly international in outlook and per­ mit you to effectively deal with finance on an international scale The changing world of international finance provides outstan­ ding opportunities for AGSIM graduates with their tripartite education

4—DAS TOR—Oct. 29.1984

Too Damn Nice or Not Drunk Enough???

In life there is the all too famous fast lane, the less talked about but well traveled slow lane, ami the somewhat nebulous concept known as the service road of life. For all those with absolutely nothing better to do on a Sunday evening, the two mental midgets aspiring to rule the fabulous fifty managed in no uncertain terms to provide the clearest of definitions to the service road concept. Neither of the paper mache duo ever made it onto the damn freeway of life. Those fee­ ble pedestrians missed the damn on ramp, forever destined to operate at half speed.

Rats you might say, thinking this to be of harm to both of the hapless aspirants. Wrong pizza-head. Rondo is at his best, at half speed, which of course, is his full speed. Warp Qualuude. Slow us down Scotty.

God, Grecian struck gold with some of the mindless incoherence. The shimmering Pacific, purple mountains majesty ... baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Ron. Ole Bonzo waxes poetically perfect, when he says absolutely goddamn nothing. Beautiful Mindless babble for the populace; look good and don't fall asleep Ronnie; yes Nancy. Ah, the liver aches in tandem with the bowels at the inadequacy of that old simpleton.

And please, oh please, what ghastly spec­ tre opposed the Gipper, what ghoulish owl- head was resurrected for the task of public­ ly assaulting God's candidate? O!' fishead looked like he just got off a serious three day drunk in Mexico. Hell. it looked tike he was storing some serious tequilla right under the eyes.

Both candidates had some excellent answers ... unfortunately, they had nothing in common with the questions. Debate ... horse-goshy washy and golly gee whiz no. Damn rehearsed garbage, worse than your average press conference. Polite conversa- t ion with your G randma. It's 1 ike a date with your girl friend; you know you will doo.k.

So much for the boring national scene, let's talk about old Camp AGSIM Well, that just about covers the most exciting points, so let's talk about the rest of the fast break­ ing stories. Scandal at the Das Tor.

Y*D. and somoon* «v«t> edited oarporttanjea! bunch candidates for Rupert Murdoch publications Well I. fightin Ti, ain't gonna take that one sitting down. I'll take it drunk at the Pub, thank you, laughing all the way Some of the over­ sensitive ..no. make that hypersensitive student body would have the old Tor emasculated down to the next week's menu at the Caf Dream on. Fight back, fine, but cutteth not offeth what maketh things fun. A good brawl is damn good for a change of pace at this wondrous institution of in­ teresting education. Parasitic pop-off ar­ tists whine daily of the injustices done to them in print. Thus, the following.

Humour is an interesting concept; ex­ tremely relative, extremely judgemental. Taste also falls into this nebulous category. Now is the true level headed and mature" students were to wreak havoc upon the pre­ sent levels of freedom in the DAS TOR, there would be precious little of anything resembling humour ta the Tor; actually nothing left, straying from bland to bland to bland. Tasteless tripe for the truculent blood-sucking narrow-minded wimps who can't take the beat. Well brothers and sisters, it's a cold world out beyond the cosy and comfy confines of AGSIM, with plenty of cold hearted bastards ready to rip your liver out for a ten spot. If you can't take the heat from a student newspaper, than your ass is grass. End of sermon.

Having previously seen articles decrying the problems between Males and Females at ol' CampT-Bird, I find it necessary to in­ nocently intercede on behalf of a few fine young ladies I have had the pleasure of be­ ing slapped and insulted by, spit upon, ridiculed and debased by and thus just dog- gon enjoyed the company of. Although the situation is deplorable Captain, no need to beam up just yet, cause there exist possibilities. Yes, I know some nice, attrac­ tive young ladies who can't buy a date. Wake up slugheaded slime balls: You can cry till the last beer is quaffed, but all you'll end up with is a free trip to the porcelain God, it hurts to be nice to girls. Probably just bad chemicals 1

Ahh. speaking of last beers, 1 am present­ ly sucking ceremoniously through my last.

Why live, until the last beer bottle is Emp­ ty ." The walls are closing in and the haze is gathering. Little left remains to be said. Election "84. the sapsucking battle of the network stars has taken its toll. Boredom has found new excess; the gods of Inaneness and Irrelevance rejoice at the bountiful sacrifices which have been so constantly laid at their feet. And the population sleeps. Vote your pocketbook. Hell, vote your horoscope No difference We all lose, and the media wins. Cause it ain't whether you can run the country, it's how you play the Eam« And Bro. the game Is network nonsensical nuance, we're talking gnarlmess never heretofore seen You win if you look" good And in the battle of the loathsome two, jowls just manages to beat or owl eyes Rejoice, all ye Falwellian fanatics. Ye shall be saved, even as your children are doomed. Wow, and golly gee Beav, prophecy. Whippy-I-Dingdong. Who gives. Just drink heavily, and remember, with Bonzo or the Fish, not only the good wUl die young.

curacy in kicking for touch enabled the T- bird side to continuously apply the pressure. AGSIM scored their first try on a 30 yard sprint by T.K., set up by a pjctureperfect pass from Hersbey. AGSIM's next score resulted from a tremendous effort on the part of the entire scrum, allowing Dave

Bulldog" Smith to notch his first try of the season. Brad Cowie managed an unbelievable conversion against a strong wind, and the AGSIM side was ahead to stay. Cowie booted through a 3 point penalty kick, leading to the final 13-4 margin of vic­ tory.

Also turning in excellent ef forts on the day were forwards Rob Spence and Scott Helm, and backs Bill Hogan and Jeff Luce. Spence dominated scrum play throughout the game, crushing all foolish enough to oppose him.

The flaming Pink Flamingoes ended two- game losing streak with an incredible display of both of fense and defense this past Friday. Heather Nordlinger, back on form, pitched a no-hitter for three full inningsbefore being gre^tod with m bloof» mingle inthe top of the fourth. Bobby venus flytrap" Clark displayed Ills major league defensive skills with some moves that would have as­ tounded Brooks Robinson.

The "Rag-Tags" played well but were simply overcome by the superior ball play­ ing of the ex-champs. Ernest Francis Watts III, filling to for absent coach ami father figure Karl Brown, gave full credit to his oft- maligned infield. Sure these guys will have an off game now and then," he said, "but let's fact it, they've played together now for almost a full year, and there is no better or more solid infield to all of Arizona, and that includes the Phoenix Giants and the ASU teams."

Clark, returning to form after a mysterious cerebral injury over the break, added, "I thought for a while that it was time to give softball up, and devote myself to video tennis in the Pub, but now I see that I have a few good semesters left in me."

Even Mike Tulley. who was last week quoted as calling his teammates scum" in this weekly report seems to have beenmellowed by the victory- 'They all still suck." he said. But hey. so does everyone

Kicarcla .McKall emerged as a real learn leader by drinking a very respectable quan­ tity of beer during the game and stilJ cat­ ching the ball when it was hit to her. "I would like to thank my mother and my father." she said, "and my cat Eduardo. John at the Pub, Everyone in Latin America, Fidel Castro, Louise Fletcher, and Jerry FaJwell." Ricarda's stomach was pumped successfully.

The highlight of the game came in the top of the fifth when CraigShuman came to bat with the bases loaded. He hit the ball solidly four times, all four, then struck out He received a standing ovation.

Editors note: Our usual correspondent was unable to write this article at to normal tone, after UK game. So be wrote it before UK game, and there may be stone (actual errors, although the Flamingoes did indeed win in an impressive manner. ____ __

Student Body Well FormedEnrollment at the Thunderbird Campus of

the American Graduate School of Interna­ tional Management is 1,182 for the fall semester.

The total includes 266 foreign students $7 different countries for

almost 25 percent of the student body. Ger­ many is the largest foreign group represented on the campus. It is followed by Japan. France, Brazil, Spain, Norway and the Republic of China

Students are also enrolled from 33S American colleges and universities in­ cluding Stanford, Georgetown, Duke. Har­ vard, and the University of Chicago.

Women comprise 33 percent of the student

body, a decrease of 5 percent from last fall; 11 percent of the students are married.

The enrollment also includes 19 students from the European Business School near Wiesbaden, Germany. They are attending Thunderbird for one semester under an ex­ change program between the two schools. A comparable number of Thunderbird students will attend the European school in the spring.

"We sffsislJy liniit oor cmuuinctu to under 1,000 students, and there is usually a waiting list. At this time, we are admitting students who will actually register in sum­ mer or fall of 1985," according to John Ar­ thur, Dean of Admissions and Registrar.

Discover the Ring Mystique <Mft« t«u, *^«« A »** f ___ J- - . - -I ^.- . . ... .- _Is it really true that 9 out of

10 of the AGSIM graduates who fly their own Lear jets wear Thunderbird Rings? "As near as we can tell, that's an accurate state­ ment" says T-bird Ring designer and creator Hannis T. Latham, 111. TGSIM "72. The Thunderbird Ring seems to be one of the quickest and most enlighten­ ed ways to get that Thunder- bird mystique.

"In 1978 my wife and I were selling turquoise Jewelry at the balloon race. A number of students asked us for Indian rings with thunderbirds on them. Because of their interest we decided to design a ring for the school which would be truly distinctive. We wanted the ring to be unique so that one T-bird could recognize another T-bird just be seeing the ring no matter where in the world they might be and

under any imaginable cir­ cumstance, be it across a smoke filled board of direc­ tors room, a crowded airport lobby, or an exotic bar.

We know now that we were successful in creatingthat Mntl of rtng Wf'v*heart some truly » «*««g stories about the T-bird ring. In fact, John Undholtz has become a collector of these stories and an expert on T- bird Ring lore. What started out to be a non-traditional school ring in one sense has become a school tradition in another."

There are numerous varia­ tions of the American Indian Thunderbird. The one chosen for the ring follows as closely as possible the original architectural lay­ out of the buildings and grounds of the Thunderbird Army Air Field.

' Turquoise chip inlay was used to give a blue sky effect

^isfiflfe^

and accent the silver T-bird. Turquoise is meaningful in a symbolic sense in that it is a semi-precious stone which is indigenous to Arizona.

Appearing above the T- bird on the top of the ring is a pyramid which has come to be recognized as prehistoric evidence of the crowning achievement of man's triumph over the physical world through education and understanding. The design around the side of the top of the ring is taken from anti­ quity. The design has been named the migration sym­ bol" by archaeologists and anthropologists. There seems to be a no more ap­ propriate design for those who have graduated from this most unique institution of higher learning, than one which in someway sym­ bolizes the geographical dispersion of its alumni over the entire face of this planet.
