Renewed Emphasis on 5000-LevelCourses

World Business Curriculum under reviewBy Lydia Middleton

EditorDr John Mathis, Chair of the

World Business Department, is re­ viewing the World Business cur- riculum with a view to making it contemporary with the changes which have occurred during the decade of the 1980s. This review, which he hopes to have completed by late July, will provide a frame­ work to investigate the means by which Thunderbird can provide the best possible international business education and improve the school's academic reputation and the mar­ ketability of its students.

Last week's ASLC meeting pro- vided a forum for discussion over a number of issues concerning aca­ demic affairs at Thunderbird. Dr Mathis was present at the meeting to inform the Committee of a num­ ber of ideas under preliminary con­ sideration with the objective of improving the standard of the cur­ riculum.

Dr Mathis stated that he is con­ sidering two issues which he be­

lieves would enable Thunderbird to better direct its academe re­ sources towards providingthe most effective and marketable interna­ tional business education possible.

The first issue under consider­ ation is to increase the size of 3000- level classes in order that more funds and resources could be di­ rected towards 5000-level courses. Under this change, 3000-level courses would be enrolled at an averageof 55 students. 4000-level course enrollment would remain in the 50 student average range and 5000-level courses would be held to 30 students on average. The result would be lower output and higher intensity at the 5000-level.

Dr Mathis, in conducting a study of the top twenty MBA programs, discovered that overall, Thunderbird's average class size of 30 students generally falls below that of most other programs. At Harvard, for example, the average class size is 60-65 students.

Two new faculty members will be teaching larger classes in the fall

semester. Using the case study lecture halls in the newly con­ structed buildings, these courses will be conducted in case study style. This will enable maximum student participation and professor involvement. Mathis also noted that more TAs will be used to en­ sure that student's needs outside of *"*l3SS o*"* n****

Dr Mathis is currently teaching a course with an enrollment of 60 students and he and his students agree that there has been no loss of participation or involvement as the result of the larger class size. He pointed out that if this plan were to be implemented, it would be done on a sample basis. There would not be a wholesale change of class size. If the test cases met with success, then full implementation would be considered over time as faculty skills in case study methods im­ prove.

Amnesty InternationalMarking 30 years of bringing

human rights to the forefront ofinternational policy

ByPayamForoughi For thirty years it's been the

object of damnation and praise from both the left and the right Its members have steadfastly writ­ ten polite tetters in various lan­ guages to kings, presidents, po- h'cechiefs,governmm ministers, and military generals all around the world, often with no response or known results. Its members and sympathizers have been ha­ rassed, arrested or assassinated in disparate places such as England, OSalvador.andtheSovietUnioa

Their objectives are threefold-1) The release of all people

imprisooedbecauseof their ideas, beliefs, rac^ettakaty.orgender. who have not advocated violence, thatis, thereleaseof all 'prisoners of conscience,'

2) Fair and prompt trials for political prisoners, and

3)The end to torture and execu­ tions everywhere.

The idea first came to English lawyer Peter Beneson when he was in a pub in Lisbon, PortugaL Heoverneard two studems merely toasting their wine glasses'to lib­ erty.' Within seconds they were arrested by the secret police sil­

ting close by. "The free-thinking students were accused of 'sub­ version'and eventually sentenced to 7 years in prison by the then military government in Portugal.

Serious academic issues addressed, but continue to require deep thought

By Hal KempferStaff Writer

WEIGHT ROOM: As it stands, you won't be seeing any weight room expansion until fall. If you loved the con­ struction around the Post Office during the summer semes­ ter, then you'llbe ecstatic over this bitof nail-pounding funaround September or October. Oh yes, don't get hurt using this overcrowded facility in the meantime. Sure it's dangerous in there, but not enough so to warrant any time ly action from Founders Hall. After hard-nosed negotiations, we're getting the same offer we started with. When the new IS building is built, then they'll move the CDT materials for storage in the old IS building. "Get behind early, so you have more time to catch up later."

WORLD BUSINESS: DrMathis is to be congratulated. As the WB DepartmentChair, he went to ASLC and explained exactly what the new 'plan' is. He solicited student input, and was very forthright and honest in his explanation. This is a terrific opportunity for student«»vol vrmfnl .

One of the truly attractive features of Thunderbirdis that it appeals to those students who arc challenged by the dynamics posed by the international field. Many times, these students didn't get a degree in waiving 3000-level WB courses, but were closed-minded liberal arts majors like myself. The same can be said of engineering and science undergraduate majors. Thunderbird promises to take tJiese wayward types and teach them the way of true self-improvement and enlightenment through wealth ex- pansion. By the way, there's also a language and intema- tiooal studies nuisance they '11 still be bogged down with ('the cross we must bear').

It might be worthwhile pointing out that one of the reasons this school is so crowded is that it's a great place to learn some of the subjects taught at the 3000 level In fact, there's data being collated that indicates mat our 4000-level WB courses are being "diluted" by having to

cater to those who came here with a "get out of jail (waiver session) free card." In other words, our 3000-level courses are good. They also cost as much as the 4000/5000-level courses.

Now, let me back off from what could be a darn good lead- in to lambast the powers that be. The Administration is looking at expanding class sizes in the WB 3000-level. We arclookingathiringmoreTAs. I don't see the hiring of more TAs for study/review sessions as a substitute for teacher-

student interaction, but the education field isn't static.There's a possibility that we can increase class size and

improve the quality of instruction using new methodology. We also might see some more 5000-level courses being offered in the bargain. DrMathis is experimenting, on a very limited scale, in selected classes. I praise his approach and flexibility in analyzing the results. This isn't a "done deal" If it doesn't work out, then I believe unless it's shoved down the collective WB throat by those whoexcelled in their accounting classes many years ago, it won't be adapted.

On the other hand, we must be careful about letting truly outstanding and published teaching PhDs go. One of the logical planks of the increase of 3000-level courses is to get more upper division courses offered. Admittedly, there are

professors in the WB Department that students will avoid at all costs short of nuclear confrontation, but let us not forget that we want the good teachers to stay here. Let's also not forget that when we attract new professors in for 2- 3 times the costofmecurrentones (according to DrMathis' general 'going rate tor top-notch business professors) we risk losing those who could easily teach elsewhere.

Won't anybody make an effort to get a new tenure committee formed to review Dr Sherman? Maybe it's perverse, but I don't like having a S6 million lawsuit threatening the school's existence while possibility of racial or national prejudice still stands unresolved.

Mid-terms anyonel Managers have to be able to plan their time effectively. That's why your professors instill this trait into you by having exams during unscheduled times. It keeps students flexible and on their toes. So what if a Friday night test interferes with a flyback? Thirds like being 'cling-ons.' Losing money on plane tickets and cancelling little commitments (weddings, business trips, family reunions, etc...) are minor inconveniences com­ pared to having to have someone in academic affairs actually coordinate this pretty normal activity of graduate study. Aficrall.theseclassesareonlycostingoveragrand each.

Deep thoughts: Why do people go to Sedona to get in touch with thar inner consciousness and life-force energies when the Pub is open seven days a week? I know that the Forest Rangers have caught on that those rocks don't naturally form into star-shaped patterns by themselves. In fact, it's rumored that Ranger Bill Bob Sixpack (from Bakersfield) would like to kick some travelling transcen­ dental tourist tooches to Tucson. So, go to die Pub and enjoy an enlightening liquid that leads to eloquent elocu­ tion of one's contemplative cogitations. AIso,as JayGangi says, "Sedona may bring the spiritualists of the world to Arizona, but the Pub brings 85 of the world's best beers to Glendale,"

Policing the new Europe in '92By Richard Clutterbuck

lib easy to cross the Mediterranean in a small boat and landontherockyshoresofltalyorSpain. When the internal frontiers of the European Community (EC) are opened under the Single European Act after 1992, anyone who lands there, by whatever route, will be free to move unchecked to Paris, Berlin, or London (via the Channel Tunnel).

Although the Single European Act will bring enormous economic and social benefits to the EC, it will provide greater opportunities for terrorists, drug traffickers, and other international criminals, especially those who exploit computer technology for the movement of illegal money. It may also encourage more illegal immigration from Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East

At present, a large percentage of international terrorists and other criminals are identified at border checks. Police spot checks within a frontier-free EC will require an inte­ grated system of identification. All EC countries except Britain, the Netherlands, and Ireland now issue identity cads. After 1992, there will be pressure forall EC countries to have harmonized systems of machine-readable ID cards and for meir national police computers to be linked.

As with any other police powers, safeguards win be necessary to irisiircthataKh^lu^ed systems are not abused

invade privacy, or to give unauthorized personal data to commercial organizations, some of which will be ready to pay lavishly for it.

The Uiiedpoljce computers shouW enable Europe to curb the growing menace of computer crimes, including hacking, eavesdropping, the malicious insertion of computer viruses, and money laundering by drug traffickers. The international banking system currently transfers billions of dollars every day across frontiers atthe touch of a computer key. Thisis good for trade, but it gives greater opportunities to sophisti­ cated criminals motivated by drugs, politics, or greed to disperse and launder illegal money without a trace.

The surge of terrorism in Europe in the 1970s and 1980s, by both indigenous and international groups, caused many EC countries to pass emergency laws. Italy and Britain formed special detective squads to seek intelligence for the arrest and conviction of terrorists. Germany and Italy gave their police increased powers of search. Germany, the Netherlands, and Britain developed very successful anti- terrorist commandos.

Cooperation between commando squads has been excel­

lent. In fact, the members of the different anti-terrorist squads are on a first-name basis. In each case, the "guest" rescue forces have been under the command of the "host," whkh is responsible solely to its own government. Thisis better than trying to form a European commando force with responsibility to several governments.

EC countries have ser^rate laws, judicial procedures, and special forces. These wiD continue to wo* wefl after 1992, provided that member states are ready to show trust in extraditmgaccusedcrirru^ialsfcr trial mcoearKXher'sccHirts.

The EC'srecord on extradition is mixed, and the "extradite or prosecute" principle is not satisfactory. In a genuinely united Europe, suspects should be tried in the country in which the offense was committed, in accordance with its judicial processes and laws. This already works well be­ tween England and Scotland, where the processes of pros- ecution and trial are very different

Joyeux Bastille DayThe French Revolution: Two hundred and two years after

The French Revolution two hundred and two years ago: new concepts, new ideas, new ideals, new hopes. "Libertd, Egalite, Fratemite"," (Freedom, Equality, Fraternity) were the principles of this revolution. It was the end of one era and the beginning of an other the end of the traditional system the willingness to overcome traditional boundaries. The absolute monarchy was seen as oppressive, the religious demands of the Church were excessive.

The beginning of a modern world where men and women are not subjects of the King

but citizens of a country. "Citoycn" (Citizen) became the new way to designate a person.

202 years after the French Revolution, the world is divided into two categories:

Those countries that have already accom­ plished their "French Revolution." Where people arc free, and where people can dis­ agree.

Those countries where men and women are not citizens in their own country. Coun­ tries where a person can be killed solely because of his or her opinion. Countries where a person can go to jaO, be tonured just

A diplomatic approach to gaining respect

In a variety of discussions during this past week, a resounding thane on the part of many students is the lack of respect they receive from faculty and staff. I can cer­ tainly sympathize with many of these com­ plaints, and, in keeping with last week's article I would like to offer some construc­ tive xkaswhkh may help us to remedy this problem.

Many of the students here at Thunderbird have been quite successful in their own careers. Others of us have finished under­ graduate educations with flying colors, and have made a conscious decision to pursue graduate education, usually with a specific purpose in mind. It can be extremely frus­ trating to us to arrive at Thunderbird and find that we immediately become a number, and become just as quickly stereotyped as "just another student

Each of us considers ourselves to be both unique and exceptional. We expect to be

treated accordingly. And this means respect Let me make two points. First, each member of our faculty and staff is also unique and exceptional, and should also be treated as such. Second, if we expect to be treated with respect, we must demonstrate an attitude wwthy of respect I have always found a diplomatic form of expression and a profes­ sional outlook to help. (At least until a more forceful approach is unavoidable.)

In essence, I believe that each of us here at Thunderbird, student, staff and faculty alike, deserves the utmost respect. Ourpurposein attending Thunderbird is to gain the benefit and insight of experienced faculty members. At the same time, it is said that there is no greater Icamingcxpcrie nee ihan that of teach­ ing. Let's make an attempt to respect each other's presence on this campus in order to make the most of our contributions here.

because he or she said something that shouldn't have been said. Countries where freedom is still only a concept, an ideal and a dream. The majority of nations are in this second category: Africa, the Middle East, South America, and Asia. Seventy-five per­ cent of the world population has a unique right, the right to survive.

Two hundred and two yean later the idea of equality is still an ideal in almost every country. Every country has its minorities, its homeless. The day, when one man is equal to one man, one man to one woman, one white

to one black, is still far away. It will be the achievement of humanity, the end of history, when minority means difference but not in­ feriority.

Adam Smith sai± "Don't leave people hopeless too long." Hopeless people have nothing to lose but every thing tt> win. The collapseof communism, die revolts of people in Africa, the slow death of the apartheid in South Africa, the vanishing of dictatorships in South America pve us a greater belief in a better future.

Information Systems Strategic Plan leads companies into next decade

By Steve Hawksworth StagWritcr

The Inforrnation Systems Strategic Plan (ISSP) is flic conceptual document that states the importance of and re­ quirements for mfonnationm trie on^ Aswirhall planning documents in a well-run organization, the ISSP is deriwd&om UK oi^iruzation's overall strategic plan. The ISSP requires an exact and comprehensive understanding of the firm's critical factors of success, policies & procedures, and processes for daily operations. .

Firm's without an Information Systems Strategic Plan invariably waste time, money, manpower and knowledge through disparate and incongruous efforts to obtain, main­ tain, manipulate and present Mormauon. Firm's with a comprehensive ISSP that "fits" the organization react nim­ bly to their environment, exploit unforeseen opportunities, enhance their internal cost control, and focus their efforts on their goals in a concentrated manner. All this because information in this electronic age is critical to success and logarithmic in nature when acquired and developed.

The requirements of a well drawn strategic plan are: 1) A statement of current status of the firm's reformation re­ sources; 2) A statement of the desired status of the firm in conceptual terms; 3) A survey of existing systems (both automated and manual) and their value to the firm; 4) An analysis of what infonnation is processed by the firm and what the critical infonnation needs are of the firm; 5) An analysis of suitability of the current system and the require- mene of the firm; and finally, 6) A forward v^wofwhat is desired or required by the firm m terms of increased or additional capability.

In order to fully appreciate die work that must go into a good ISSP, a redefinition of information to include all types of data in all the various permutations is mandated. This includes paper files, reference books, accounting ledgers and journals, all the forms and report formats, electronic mail, telephone communications, facsimiles, and any/all means or methods that involve infonnation content In addition to this domain definition, the time horizon of the ISSP should always be no less than five years and preferably stretch out to ten or more years. This is the reason why the plan cannot be more than conceptual in nature.

Too many tecrmk^ and errvironmcnal factors will change

misin just two to four years to plan at the strategic level for detail. The plan must anticipate change in the environment and adjust for resistance to change on the part of the humans in the organization. Resistance to change is why people from every levdof the organization must be consulted about their position's requirements and daily processes. Again, like an organization's overall strategic plan, the ISSP is the docu­ ment mat sets the agenda and priorities for all the tactical planning that will occur. Just like any other planning document, the ISSP requires constant update and "fine-

turu^g"U)keepugennanetotheorganization. To insure this planning is done in a conscientious and timely manner, modem companies have a VP or Asst VP of Infonnation Systems to manage and cornrol the information resources of the firm.

Whereas the information systems used to be controlled by the Controller or VP for Finance and Accounting, more and more information systems are being seen as more than just "bean-counting." To illustrate, a true story from the corpo­ rate world: A locally r^adquarteredmiJtinaDorial company was feeling fit and cash rich in the middle 198%. They wanted to expand ina voracious manner. The only informa­ tion they felt they needed was accountmg and financial. The only concerns about the environment they had were how much to pay for the expansion outlets. They went bankrupt in 1989 and have been climbing out of the hole they dag themselves ever since.

Two of their major mistakes were: 1) they never consid­ ered seomty, and while they were faxing documents hither and ycm,u^irriegotiatingr^rrtners were stealingtte informa­ tion and using it to get uSe maximum price the buyer would pay for the outlets being sold; and 2) no one ever told them that there is a world outside the accounting and finance books they walked, debt-heavy, smack into recession when their major customer base slowed or stopped buying at their stores. Other companies with better information sys­ tems saw the recession coming and planned for the decrease in overall sales or increased marketing efforts to gain market share at our barAmptfriend'sexpense. By theway.if youare American, you've shopped or at least seen the company's stores.

CLUB NEWST'birds caught

hanging around inFlagsaff

By Hal KcmpferI've done a lot of dam fool things in my

life, but I haven't done any lately. So, off to Flagstaff went Paul Andcrson, Felipe Pazos and myself to learn to hang glide. We'd forgotten there were trees in Arizona, so were quite impressed with the surroundings. Our instructor, Bill Holmes, met us at 9 am in the definition of a rural hole-in-the-wall establishment the 2 BAR 3. As with most of these places, we had a breakfast of excel­ lent eggs benedict while watching German and New Zealand hang gliding videos. Af­ terwards, we hung around in a trainer con­ traption and discussed how to avoid high speed landings on one's face.

Finally, we went to the training area, just below the "bunny hill." There we learned to set up a hang glider. Calm winds of 25-30 mph precluded any further training at that spot. So, Bill took us up to a very high hill and explained thermal lift and not-so-uplift-

Hd survey's the territory before taking flight!

ing "rotors.' He then showed us where one of these lovely rotor conditions was and em­ phasized his point with a cheerful 1 iule tale of how some napless glider enthusiast was slammed 100 plus feet into the lava rock face by the downward flowing air of the rotor (and didn'tquite live to tell about it). Thank goodness, we were all dumber than plant- life, and still wanted to fly.

That evening was a marathon session of running, lifting and hauling our hang gliders around on level ground practicing take-off. The next morning we awoke at 5 am to do it for real on the infamous "Bunny Hill." After much waiting for the wind gods to be ap­ peased, we began. Your humble author was the first to run down that hil 1 like a Belgian on the Queens Birthday, and achieved flight of over 3 feet of altitude and experienced a marvelous text book landing on my belly. Felipe had a beautiful firstflight soaring over 20 feet above this planet and then truly __ 'crashed and burned,'

breaking an upright strut (but he looked good do­ ing it). After a couple of runs, Paul too soared like a wild turkey and made a landing much akin to Felipc's and mine. Keep in mind, after each expe­ rience of lofty flight, we had to haul our fairly heavier- than-air craft up< this hill. It was sort of ai 'boot camp' for glider 'wannabees.' Unfortu­ nately, a monsoon blew in and our day of being- birds was replaced by thunder. So we left for gorgeousGlendalc know- mgwe'dbebackinamere three weeks to cast off these earthly bounds again.

The Thunder Hung Hang Gliding Club meets every Wednesday at the Pub at 7:30 pm. Call Hal at978-7440(Box710)for info.

CAMPUS LIFESDC announces Class

Gift CampaignBy Bob Saum

Student DevelopmentCommittee

The Student Development Com­ mittee (SDC) has announced this semester's Class Gift Campaign. The campaign will run from Mon­ day, July 15,1991. to Friday, July 26, 199*1, and is desiped to give graduating students an opportunity to pledge their financial support of Thunderbird. Students will receive a brochure about the campaign in their mailboxes this week.

The current construction and building activity on campus (as outlined in past issues of Das Tor) represents wily a part of the master plan K> revitalize and enlarge the Thunderbird campus. A Student Services Center (SSC) is also planned for the future. The plans are not finalized for the details of the SSC, but it will definitely be a facility foraU the studentsof Thun­ derbird. It will be a place for all students to meet and to relax. As current students, we now have the opportunity to provide the best pos­ sible SSC for future Thirds.

Volunteer members of the SDC will begin contacting graduating students next week. Students will be asked to make a pledge of $100 to Thunderbird. The proceeds of

the campaign will be used to fur­ nish the Student Services Center. The goal of the 1990-91 cam­ paigns is $50,000. Students have the opuon of designating their con­ tribution for any part of Thunder- bird.

To fulfill the pledge, students are encouraged to contribute $10 now and S30 a year for three years. By participating in this campaign, stu­ dents will not be contacted by the Development Office for any other fundraising activities for tnree years. When the campaign volun­ teer contacts you, all yew need to do is to complete the pledge card with your pledge and signature. Stu­ dents who contribute the $10 now will receive a Thunderbird com­ memorative poster.

As Thunderbird continues its development efforts, the need for solid alumni support is crucial. Before foundations, corporations and other donors will support a school, a demonstrated commit­ ment of the school's alumni must be evident. By participating in the campaign, current students can con­ tribute to the much-needed alumni support.

The SDC takes an active role in the growth of Thunderbird and par­ ticularly in the development of the

Ombudsman's Corner

SSC. The Committee is primarily involved in three aspects of TtandeAW'sdevdopment efforts:

Balloon Race (an annual event in November which raises over 550,000 a year for the Mavis Voris Scholarship Fund and provides a fundraising opportunity for student organizations)

Alumni Phonathon (held each January as a way to contact alumni and to encourage their support of Thunderbird; over SI00,000 was pledged this year)

Class Gift (each graduating stu­ dent is contacted and asked to Join their fellow Thirds in confirming their support of the school by pledg­ ing a contribution)

Volunteers are needed for all activities of ihe Student Develop­ ment Committee. "This semester, the Class Gift program and prepa­ rations for the Balloon Race will be the primary activities of the Com­ mittee, Volunteers will contact fel­ low students to raise funds for the SSC and its furnishings (e.g. pool tables, loungefurniture, televisions, weight-lifting equipment).

ASLC officers are paid from ! student activity fees. Some of us j are elected, others are hired. The I bottom line is that we represent | yoaandareresponstfctoyoafor.

among other things, resolving problems you might encounter on campus and investigating sugges­ tions you have regardmgimprove- ment of the school.

One of the more onerous duties of the Ombudsman is to field sug­ gestions submitted by students, handle those witMn his purview and route the rest to the appropri­ ate ASLC officer for action. For that purpose, suggestion boxes were made and placedaround cam­ pus. One night, during my first week on the job, I sought out sub­ ject boxes. 1 located one in the Library, hidden behind the large globe near the entrance. It was empty. The second box was easier to find. It was (and probably still is) attached to the wall outside the CSC building. It wasn't empty. The remains of scores of dead roaches, beatles, and assorted arachnidscovered the bottom. The Cafeteria has control of the box in the dining facility, so I skipped that one. The last box was eventu­ ally located behind an open door in the Coffee Shop. It contained only gum wrappers, broken pen­ cils, and a green jelly bean. As I have since discovered, most sug­ gestions get to the ASLC staff either verbally or in the form of a note scratched on a small sheet of paper. The intent is appreciated, but the means are almost impos­ sible to work with.

As Anne Dellos mentioned in last week's Das Tor, new sugges­ tion forms are now available in the^S^^sr^^^man" folder located justinsidetbedoor.

We intend u> handle all submis­ sions professionally and provide

each student a personal reply. We ask only that your submission also be professional. The new form asks you to provide some back­ ground information on the situa­ tion and to do a Ink persona] re­ search before returning it. In the process, yew question may be an­ swered. If not, JOT extra effort will help us by providing addjtional direction and possflrfy a better defi­ nition of the problem. If , on the other hand, you just wait 10 vent some frustration, use the form and have at it!

As you read this article, you may have already filled out a Cafeteria Questionnaire. If not, please do so. They are at the cashier's table and your responses will determine whether or not we invest seme time and money in adding decorations to your mealtime environment All responses will be dusted for finger- pnnts to ensure thai only one ques­ tionnaire has been submitted per student Thanks for your coopera­ tion.

Traffic Tickets continue to be written but ^jpeals are few and far between. I love it when people accept responsibility for their ac­ tions! It's a sip of maturity. But, if you believe that mitigating cir­ cumstances warrant further con­ sideration of die matter, an appeal may be filed as noted on the cita­ tion.

The question has been asked as to why RESERVED PARKING spaces can not be open to students after "normal working hours" and on weekends. According to Rod Huthmacher.ChkfofSecunty.stu- dents were allowed to do just that several years ago. However, on Monday mornings, many reserved fxulty and administration spaces were filled

Impossible to control, a blanket reserved parking policy was estab­ lished and, as many find out each week, is enforced.

Employer paneloffers opportunityto meet and learn

from localbusiness leaders

By Dave Luke Graduate Associate

Marketing, finance (at least until you took Advanced Corporate!), accounting, human resources... Does your career planning include working in one of these functional areas of business? Dp you have questions about a particular occu­ pational functionand/or would liketo ask questions about it? If so, plan to attend the Employer Panel sponsored by the Career Services Center Graduate Associates on Wednesday, July 17 from 6 - 8 pm in the Career Services CenterLobby.

An important step in the career planning process is to identify the specific functions which match your

individual expertise and interests. The employer panel is designed to assist students in their career plan­ ning process by providing them anopportunity to meet close-up with managers of several different func­ tional areas. During the panel, stu- dents will have the opportunity to ask prominent valley business people about various functional areas of business and learn more about what it's like to work withina particular function.

The panel will be an open ques­ tion and answer format, providing students ami visiting executives the opportunity to interact in an infor­ mal environment and facilitate the continuous and successive ex­ change of ideas and comments.

FEATURES Campus CoAll administrative offices

to be consolidatedAdministration offices are cur­

rently scattered around campus. Communications between offices is very difficult and students are burdened by having to make long journeys to all corners of the cam­ pus to complete their business.

The administration wing of the new World Business/Administra­ tion Building will bring together all of the campus administrative offices. Communication among departments is expected to become more efficient No longer will a student have to travel from Founders Hall to behind the Pub for Student Services, and then to

the south-west comer of campus for the Alumni office. Student Affairs, Admissions and Records, the Alumni Office, the Business Office, the Personnel Office and al 1 other administrative offices will be under the same roof.

The administrative offices will be decorated in shades of green and teal The office components are flexible and took like traditional cherry wood desks when as­ sembled CompofleffisoffCTarnaxi- mum amount of storage at the worker's fingertips.

The President's space includes a conference room capable of seat­

ing 60 to 70 people and a smaller meeting room that will seat 20.

Across the corridor from the au­ ditorium, there is a multi-purpose room. It is designed robe utilized as one large room or three smaller conference/meeting rooms. It will be used for speakers, luncheons, receptions, and student events. A kitchen is adjacent to these rooms.

The second floor and the south­ ern wing of die building will house the administrative offices. This portion of the building will be named after Joan and David Lin­ coln who have pledged SI million towards the construction.

In keeping with die school's

international focus, simultaneous language translation will be avail­ able in the new auditorium. There wiu be two booths in the rear of the facility thai could be used for the translations. Members of the audi­ ence would be given wireless head­ sets that could be tuned to the dif­ ferent languages being translated.

There will also be direct video and audio links to the lecture halls in the new IS Building to accom­ modate for overflow. According to DougSexton,ProjectArchitectand

Vice President of VSLA, the goal is to have as much flexibility as possible in the wire and electronic systems so that any lecture can be transmitied across campus to any other facility. The facility will also have front and rear projection screens.

There is discussion, according to Sexton, about allowing the audito­ rium to be leased/rented out to out- sktegroops.ThismigJitdefiaysome of the costs associated with the facility and increase its utilization.

The current World Business braiding, the tower building in the prcsentcenterof campus^.will also be vacated. One possWity under consideration is to make it into a student union. "An assessment must be made as to the feasibility of refurbishing and salvaging the old building," comments Doug Sexton, Project Architect from VSLA. There is a possMty that because of the age of the structure Ihepliimbfflgand electrical would have to be completely re-done to come up to current safety codes.

No assessment has yet been made with regards to the structure. Many alumni would like to sec ihc build­ ing used for the Student Center/ union rather than having the old tower demolished as has been sug­ gested by some parties.

The current student services of­ fices, located behind the pub, will also be vacated. The suggestion is to move the campus Health Center into that building. The current Health Center is due to be demol­ ished to make way for the new campus entrance that will come in from 59th Avenue.

WB/Admin. Building to be new center of campus

Construction has begun on the World Bnstness/Adrninistnition Bufldmg. The 52,386 square-foot strucnnt win serve three purposes, It will boose the faculty of the World Busmess Department, com­ bine the school's administrative offices under one roof and provide a new 23S seat audiiorium. In ad­ dition, there will be multipurpose rooms and a lobby that can be used for social events. This building will move the focus of the campus to the interior of the grounds and will face the proposed Inemational Business Park. It is expecial to be completed in February 1992.

This building, as well as the others that are pan of the current construction campaign, blends academe and high technology by

utilizing conionpariry designs wiA a feeling of tradition.

Pat Miller of Trafca Designs, is in charge of designing the interiors of all the new buiidinp. 'The color palette has ban set by the desert at sunset," says Milter, "using the green of the cactuses, the pink/ peach tones of the desert sands, and the purples from the shadows of vegetation on the desert floor. The colors arc very sophisticated, re­ flecting the level of professional­ ism at the school."

The lobby to the building will be spectacular, says Milicr. Shades of cream, terra cooa and slate gray will be used in the two-story atrium. The floor will be constructed of Italian porcelain pavers with gran­ ite insets. Four pendant light fix-

tots will from Ae (offend cdltng and a wrougta-iton railing will enhance the leading to the second How. Ptasw relief work will surround the etevtiws and the archway to the auditorium.

All of ttw new bwldings will feature indirect lighting and natu­ ral daylight wherever possible. Light fixtures will have parabolic lenses,

AH the new buiidinp have spe­ cial ktcakms and lighting treated for pieces of art. Alumni are en­ couraged to donate fine quality pieces to what is hoped wiii be a Thunderbirf collection of an from around the world. Items could be hand carved wood from the Far East, tapestnes, sculpture, pa»nt« ings or rugs.

World Business faculty can't wait for a

ne w facility «The World Business department will occupy tfie east wing of the new World Business/ Administration

Building. This wing of die building will have 39 offices for professors and 16 modular offices for pan- time faculty. The wing will haw two conference rooms and offices for support staff Dr Paul Johnson, forma Chairman of die Work) Business Department, was quoted in the last Thunderbird Magazine, "We will be much more efficient than we are right now. We arc extremely crowded for space, with part-time faculty members having to share offices. Offices are subject to flooding, and we are virtually out of con­ ference rooms."

Currently, there are constant problems in scheduling space for visiting faculty and research­ ers, as well as holding confer­ ences with faculty. Jan Alien, Secretary ofWorW Business De­ partment, commented about the new facilities, "It will be a de­ light to spread out."

There are 33 full- and pan- time faculty in die World Busi­ ness Department this summer. During a normal fall or spring term there are 40-45 professors.

One of the improvements in the new facility will be the com­ puter network system. Fiber op- Uc cable has been installed throughout campus in prepara­ tion for the net work. The job of communicating win be easier. The professors will have the ability to communicate with one another and with colleagues around the world via PC, with access to E-mail and electronic

Put on your 'I'd rather be oaring' T-shirt, because in September, people facing physical disabilities and life-threatening illnesses will have their first chance to white- water raft through the Grand Can­ yon. The two 12-16 day trips en­ able people who are physically or medically challenged to feel the thrill of adventure, and to gain new skills, perspective, strength, and insight through the medium of the wilderness.

The people going on these trips may have cancer or be in a wheel- chair. They are sponsored by the City of Phoenix Parks and Recre­ ation, and through private dona-

" tions. What can you do to help this first time event? The costs for the medical personnel and in-kind ex­ penses have been paid for but you can send checks to buy food for these happy campers to: Jumping Mouse Camp, Inc. 215 N. Bonito Flagstaff, AZ 86001 or call (602) 774-9608.

The latest good news for the Volunteer Committee was that the student storage will be cleaning house as they try to limit the time items can be stored to this decade. We hope to give some of the items to charities as letters have been sent out to those students who have long since gone and left us holding their i972 banana seat Schwinn roadsterone-speed. A new policy Will limit0>C ^oo,,, „, umf „ ' ——n ^^

Store items (a couple of years) and hopefully those items left will go to Bizarre Bazaar or other charitable services.

Some of the members of the Volunteer Committee will be get­ ting together this Friday to son through the Biz Baz clothes to take to various charities. Most of the zlothes will be taken an organiza­

lion called Love in Action who will distribute the clothes to area chari­ ties. Some men's clothes will go to the Mark Alien Manor for Mental Health.

Talks are under way at Camp Omar to gain access to the oodles of language tapes in the audio-vi­ sual department The old tapes would be erased and given to a group called Recording for the Blind.

It was some hip-shakin' hit matun' music mixed with Dirty Dancin' and Saturday Night Fever and it helped a good cause. If you are wondering what happened at last semester's Thunderball we can't help you. But if you are wondering what happened to the proceeds (SI700) that were given to the Red Cross, we can tell you. The American Red Crossalong with international branches, the Interna­ tional Red Cross have given hu­ manitarian assistance in Iran, Iraq, Kuwaitand Turkey. The organiza­ tion has set up water treatment and distribution systems in Iraq, and sent supplies including more than 60,000 blankets, 500 tents, and 1.000 kitchen utensils for the Kurdish refugees.

Sesquipedalian professor sees teaching as a vocationBy AshiaLee StcffWriter

Articles posted in his office window and a subtle yet distinct accent betray Finance Professor Frank Tuzzolino's hometown New York City. The articles describe successful New Yorkers such as Mario Gabclli, who overcame modest originsandnowmanages$6bi]lioninportfolios. Tuzzolino's values stein from his Catholic education, which stressed discipline and academic achievement, and from his child­ hood in the Bronx, where he learned the importance of saving. These values contrast with what he calls the "irre­ sponsible no-money-down mentality" of the 1980s.

Tuzzolino's parents encouraged their son to pursueengineering.a profession they knew of and respected. He received a BS in Mechanical Engi­ neering and an MS in Industrial Management In college he became a great fan of William F. Buckley Jr, whose writing he found sobering compared to engineering texts. Buckley inspired Tozzolino to become a "sesquipedalian" or wordsmith. The engineer was also fascinated by his peers* conversations about two topics that were new to him: investments and the stock market His curiosity led the engineer to study finance on his own. "[At] lunchnme I'd have my Wall Street Journal instead of, say, the trade journals in engineering, which meant I wasn't that interested in...engineering."

Tuzzolino made his transition to finance via the engineer­ ing side of banking in the operations department at Citibank. The rise of John Reed, who then headed the department, to CEO of the bank is an indication that "the 90s will be a decade of shop floor skills...[of] those folks who can work weHwithpeq)leandhaveagoodfeelingfora...process.

The professor feels his analytical are overly "status-anxious." The professor admits havingtraining prepared him well for finance, which relies heavily approached people in Price Club who shared the familiaron mathematics. In fact, there has been an emergence of New York accent His students seem toagree that Tuzzolinowhat he calls "financial engineering."

He points to the failure of six S&L's and America West as problems that might have been prevented if the

organizations had employed duration analysis and distress prediction (a model developed by Ed Altman. another Bronx native). Many local firms may be unaware of ihese useful technolo­ gies. Tuzzolino hopes that as the "AGSIM model" emerges the school win be able to ptoy a role in the investment and banking community similar to that played by Interad teams in adver­ tising. In addition, Thunderbird professors need to increase their visibility by publishing, case writing and participating in national academic and weather and relative immunity to gang violence and conferences.

ments.The professor admits that finance is adifficult, dry subject

He has two strategies to make it enjoyable for his students. First, he tries to "distill [the] material and separate what's esoteric from what you're really going to use...I don't go out of my way to avoid the math, but. J try to avoid the arcane." Second, he believes that "one problem in life is so many people take themselves too seriously-which I don't" He

that it's got to get much more visibility.Although Tuzzolino feels that he would enjoy the material

benefits he could earn as a financial manager, the sesquipedalian professor sees teaching as a vocation. To paraphrase, "WB3210 is a redemptive vehicle in which he can pursue his pedagogical goal of acting as an alembic in the pursuit of literacy in order to overcome the innumeracy of liberal arts majors for whom algorism is esoteric," At the very least, his students learn to use an HP19B.

Importance of "real world" experience and know-how emphasized by visiting prof

fthsBbeenagreatpleasureforme tobeavisitingprofessor toe this summer teaching the course entitled Export/Import Management

The primary goal of the course is to develop a real world approach to conducting international trade. As a current practitioner in my own Qnn which specializes in training, trading, and consulting, and with 22 years of international business experience in the private, public, and academia sectors; I felt a current real world perspective for the course would be of considerable benefit white still meeting thecourse requirements and other theoretical concepts of other courses. Furthermore, I want to position the students with a better chance of obtaining a job in the highly competitive marketplace.

Thus, the course not only includes the opera­ tional aspects of conducting international busi­ ness, like documentation, public sector trade promotion assistance, legal Jssues, but also includes the marketing aspects of distribution, pricing, promotion, trad­ ing companies, etc.

Also, to enhance each student's learning, a project in theform of an Export/Import Manual is required. The manual is-'*—- ~f— u -»"'*<»"»*e/»i-iccnrrt/>«;mrf assignments.

First Tuesday not only for alumniBy Bradford Brooks

Student Alumni CommitteeIt has been brought to my attention that many of die

students on campus have no idea of what a exactly a First Tuesday is, besides one of the first seven days of any particular month. To a T'bird, alumni or student, it is much more then that A First Tuesday is the time every month when Thunderbird alumni gather in whatever community they happen to reside. Now, these gatherings can take the form of an informal happy hour at a local bar or restaurant, they can be formal dinner parties or any other social occasion that might encourage alumni to attend such a gathering.

I have mentioned that it isipy desire to bring the Phoenix chapter's First Tuesday meeting up to ihe Thunderbird campus to get an idea about how these meetings ran. I had hoped to convince the group to move the meeting here before the end of this semester, but it looks as if it will not be until

October at the earliestI will encourage any of you who arc interested to attend the

meetingforthePhoenixchapterinAugust The meetings are

Voices Jrom

held at Mother Tucker's which is a restaurant located on the comer of Lincoln and 32nd Street Including time for traffic it takes about 25 minutes to get there from the campus. The

meetings stan at approximately 5:30 and there is no formal dinner nor dress requirements. Even though many times there are no formal speakers for these meetings, August's gathering will be different. Arizona Secretary of State, and Thunderbird Associate Professor Richard Mahoney is die scheduled speaker.

Havingaaended the most recent gatheringat the beginning of July, I can say that there is a great deal of interest in what is happening here on campus. Though the alums who attend these meetings do live in Arizona, they do not get back to see the campus that often. Therefore they have a great interest in what you the student thinks about the school in the way of classes, professors, administrators, new construction, etc. The conversation seems to run from enlightening s> confron­ tational, but it is always interesting. If you can pull yourself away from your studies this August 6,1 encourage you K> attend.

What's Brewing?A Taste of San

Francisco in 1\icsonBy James Stahl

StaffWriterDuke was playing UNLV on a

dozen TV screens the night I vis­ ited the San Francisco Bar & Grill m Tuesonafew months ago. Owner Mifa Thompson mixed with the packed house, many of whom he seemed to know. MugsofhisCisco lager coveredagood number of the tables. Whatabowthe Mesquiic ale he told me about over the phone? "We're out We sell everything we can brew, bis we can only brew about 300 gallons each month. I've probably got 15 recipes, Iml we carry just one, maybe two at a time."

Although the focus of the evening was clearly basketball, Thompson says. "We're a sports bar, but we're also a happy hoar bar, a comer bar, a place where you can go to get some­ thing to eat" Menu items include raw oysters and fried catfish in ad­ dition to burgers and sandwiches.

Arizonans don't like UNLV; not in Tucson anyway. But they do like beer and they like it cold, according 10 Thompson. "Arizona is hot. Weserve the beer real cold, 33-34 de­ grees. People -won'tbuy it wanner. Warm beer might work in other places, but not m Arizona." An­ other Tuc»» brewpub discovered that mistakes can break you; the Southwest Brewing Company lasted just four months.

cisco Bar &. Grill 2 *, -..- after it opened, when the original

owner feU ill. He first sold beer in June of 1^89. The brewing is handled by Jim Wilson, who also cooks. The brew is made with custom-builtequipmeni,andissold only on draft on the premises. Cisco lager is a mash beer, copper in color, with a beige head and a smooth, fruity flavor. The lager outsells Mesquite ale three to one.

How does the homebrewed beer fit into the picture at the San Francisco Bar & Griin "The brcwpub business is the restau­ rant business," Thomp­ son says. "You need good food, good beer, good atmosphere. Brewing is a great at­ traction it helps make you unique but you won't make a fortune

just because you brew your own beer."

Unlike many brewpubs, theSa« Fran also stocks a variety of do- mestic and imported bottled beers. "I sell a greater percentage of na­ tional brands than my own beer, though that's due in part to our capacity." Thompson says he isn "t afraid of the comparison between his homebrew and the national brands he sells, "I've found that some people win drink only Bud, and some people wffl drink only the beer we make here. I'm not trying to force patrons to drink my beer, I'm just giving them an alter­ native.''
