Chairman of the Board Takes his Thunderbird Involvement Seriouslv^hen John Bemdt made his

first tnp to Third to recruit graduates for

' AT&T, it was the initial step on a road that wou!d lead to a close relationship with the school in many areas, including his current position as chairman of the Thun­ derbird Board of Trustees.

Now president of New Business Development for AT&T, he has been instrumental in AT&Ts participation in several Thunderbird programs, including a significant grant of equipment from AT&T and support for the AT&T Auditorium in the World Business Administra­ tion Building. In previous years, he was involved in his company's spon- sorshipoftheextemshipprogram in which faculty members spent time with a company.

As chairman of the Board ofTrustees. Bemdt has been instru­ mental in the development of the board into what has been described as "one of the best boards on any- educational institution in the coun­ try. "He has also been an important force in the strategic plan of the institution and was especially pleased when Thunderbird was re­

cently granted accreditation by the AACSB

A strong proponent of in­ ternships. Bemdt himself was an intern for two summers with the Wisconsin Telephone Company during his college years. That led to a full-time job with the company; where he developed an inter­ est in management. "I went through a series of technical and operational- managerial assign­ ments in virtually all aspects of tha: busi­ ness. At that time it had abo-j! 10,000 employees, which by Bel! System stan­ dards then was quite small, so it gave me an opportunity to see many different pans of the operation. 1 had reached the point where I had general management experience relatively early in my career."

Priorto 1984.1 had been in domestic assignments and had vir- tuallv no involvement in AT&Tis

1.1984. at the date of divestiture, and I've been in the in­ ternational side m various capacities ever since"

His other previ­ ous positions have included president of AT&T Interna­ tional Communica­ tions Services m which he handled allot A T&Ts com­ munications be­ tween the L'mted Stales and all other

points of the world, involving such matters as undersea submarine sys­ tems, satellite stations, and working with nearly all the nations around ihe world.

In spite of spending a great deal of time overseas. John Bemdt takes his responsibility as a Thun­ derbird trustee very seriously, and he speaks highly of the Thunderbird graduates he has hired.

Nationality Stereotypes

by Ignasi Sermhima

^^ recently ran across a f Icomment on a very interest ^ling survey done by the Inter

C_X national Research Asociates in Brussels. It was an exhaustive study that tried to determine which stereotypes people from different countries have of each other. They picked a sample of one thousand people from each of the European Community countries and also from the following: Russia, Norway. Fin­ land Japan, the United States. Aus­ tria, Sweden and Switzerland. The method consisted of asking each person to rank the three best and die three worst countries for every cat­ egory, which covered topics such as human relationships, environment, food and beauty, among others. Being this such an international school and even though not all na­ tionalities represented at Thunder- bad appear in the survey, I thought it would be a good idea to comment on it. It can be a good way to reflect upon our own view of citizens of other countries: bow we see them and bow we, sometimes, judge them on the basis of learned stereotypes.

In general, the survey did not throw many unexpected results, demonstrating that the old lifelong stereotypes are still in effect. With­ out going into further depth on the criteria used, the results show that the nations seen as having the high­ est standards of living are Switzer­ land, Norway, Sweden. Finland and Austria, while at the bottomlie Rus­ sia, die United States, Germany, Italy and Spain. Does this surprise

Is this how we really see each other?you? Maybe they should conduct a second survey in which they asked more specific questions about wel­ fare arid peaceful living, because when asked in which countries they would rather spend their vacations in. the results were much different. On the top. Greece. Spain. Italy. Portugal and Austria; at the bottom. Germany. Belgium. Japan. Swit­ zerland and Denmark. The Scandi­ navian countries ranked also in the lower half.

There isalso / an almost unani­ mous decision in granting Italy, / France, Spain, Greece and Portugal the first prizes to the finest "cui-; sine" and to the best wines. Mediterra­ nean diet is . still seen as the healthiest and tastiest, even more if it goes along with the deli­ cious spirits produced . in the regjon. Inevitably, the last positions are coped by the United States (maybe too well-known for the fast food restau­ rants). Great Britain. Japan. Swe­ den and Norway.

No astonishment whatso­ ever regarding the results of physi­ cal charm. The most beautiful women are supposed to come, in

"To live with stereotypes is

almost inevitable, and even helps us feel more comfort­ able before some­

one we do not know"

this particular order, from Italy. Spain. Sweden. France and Greece (it is curious to remark that a higher percentage of French males voted for their fellow nationals as the most beautiful; good for them!). The least attractive women, on the other hand, were the Swiss, the Japanese, the American. theGermanand the Aus­ trian. Very similar are the results on male beauty; Italians. Spanish.

Greeks, French and Swed­ ish are preferred among

these countries' women (the myth of

the Latin Lover still prevails), while the rest of them, with Bel­ gians trailing, are not seen so attractive.

And this has a tre-

. mendous cor- ; relation with happy charac-

ter.orsoit seems. The merriest and

friendliest appear to be the Spanish,

followed by the Portu- - guese.Greeksandltalians. even though the latter have

lost positions due to the fact that they are seen as very untrustworthy (even the Italians themselves agree on that!). On the other hand, the mostboringtravel companions seem to be the Norwegians, the Japanese, the Finnish, the British, the Ger­ mans and, above all. the Swiss. But

these nations are proud to be seen as the most reliable and dependable of all. The latter countries are cited when asked for the best place to work in. Moreover, there is a sense of quality attached to a product "Made in Germany" or "Made in Switzerland", andeven though they may not be regarded as the wildest party animals, they are satisfied with the image they project to the world. Toliveregularly.the preferred coun­ tries are the Scandinavian and Swit­ zerland: to live after retirement. Spain, Portugal and Greece were chosen. It seems as though we tend to generalize not only by countries, but also by groups of countries or regions.

As a conclusion I can not help but wonder did they have to conduct such an exhaustive and costly survey to reach results we could have guessed pretty accurately in advance? Maybe it is just a re­ minder that stereotypes prevail, and that we tend to general ize and group people in categories we can label, such as nationalities. We use them to simplify our patterns of thought, given the amount of information we receive everyday from everywhere. To live with stereotypes is almost inevitable, and even helps us feel more comfortable before someone we do not know. And even though there is a real basis underlying aJ- most every stereotype, we should be aware to discern truth from myth, and not to judge anyone on that basis. That would not be very cul­ turally sensitive.

Student Concerns

Addressed

One of the most important func rions of the ASLC is to wok toward improving Thunder bud. Over the course of this

semester, we have interceded on be­ half of di fferent srudents and craned programs that enhance Thunderbnd.

Never, Never, Never!Resurrecting Rejection Letters from the Dead

by Note LaMar. Graduate Associate

In the past, the pub has been known to give you a free drink if you bring: in a certain number of rejec­ tion letters. However, before you drink away your troubles, let me tell you how I have successfuDy dealt with rejection letters.

When the corporate world chases after contracts or closing the deal on sales, its motto becomes a variation onSirWinston Churchill's famous "Never Again" quote: "Never jiveim; never give up: never, never, never!" Indeed to succeed in a "dog eat dog" career world, persis­ tence pays off.

Back in early December, a recruiter came here to recruit May 1995 graduates fora St. Louis-based multinational firm. This was from an on campus job posting posted in the Career Services Center in Sep­ tember. Although I had just started my Thunderbtrd education in June 1994. I wtm ahead and applied Lesson teamed it is never too early to begin your career search while hereatThunderbird

The interview went well. So well in fact, that I discovered during the interview that the re­ cruiter knows the father of a v-oung lady from St. Louis whom I've been seeing for a couple of years! I returned from Winterim in Central Europeconfidentthatlhadadvaoced on to the second round of interviews with Emerson. However, during the first week of classes. I was crushed when I received a rejection letter firom this same recruiter.

Undaunted, and determined to land a job within one of this corporation's 40 divisions, prefer­ ably in St Louis, for mote reasons than one. I began to pen the follow­ ing letter (altered only to delete names, titles, and departments):

Mr. Harry HiremeSo & So CoSt. Louis. MO 63136

Dear Mr. Hireme:

I thank you for your prompt reply in records to the non-continuaoon of my file With the reputation of So & So Co.. competition for an International Analyst position must be intense

Knowing that situations can change quickly and thai openings do occur, please know my interest with vour cornparv rsrnoiro -.cr. >uOu£. A.% I said in my initial letter, 1 believe that my potential would allow me to become a valuable asset to your iniemanonal planning learn.

Kindly regard this letter and the enclosed updated resume as evidence of my continuing and genuine interest in your company You may decide there is an opening for me or you may think of a place where 1 might fit in. We should meet in advance of any future needs. This would allow us to discuss my qualifications and the kinds of contributions I could make. It is my sincere commitment that regardless ofrheoutcome.itwill be time well spent

Realizing that So& SoCo. has international planner summer internships available for Thunderbird students graduating in Dec. 1995 or May 19%, although 1 will graduate in May 1995.1 would be highly interested in one of these internships. Next weekend I will be returning to Indiana, with a stop-over in St Louis on Thursday. February 16 to visit Hireme's daughter. Michelle. I will give you a call at that time, or if it would be more convenient for you, I can return to Thunderbird early on Monday, February 20. Although currently ticketed for a late night flight. I could stand-by for an earlier flight back to meet you. as I know you will be conducting a meeting for potential interns at 4:30 pm.

I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely.

Nathan S. LaMar End., resume

Thanks to this response to a rejection tetter. I have since inter­ viewed with three of the firm's 40 Divisions, in addition to interview­ ing for a position at its Corporate Headquarters. I've beemoSt.Louis oo flybacks three times in the past month. Although 1 made myself amenable to an internship, each time I have interviewed for actual jobs.

Therefore, the lesson learned in all of this is that, in this case, the corporate world likes to see true, demonstrated tenacity in not accepting "no" for an answer. If your heart is really set on a position for which you are rejected 1 urge you to give a follow-up letter such as this a try. Let me know about vour results.

This Garbage Can Called Earth

by Elasae Massey

A friend was telling me the other day aboutafellowTbird who proclaimed "I just don't get into recycling." (or something to thai effect). My friend admired this student's bravado in admitting a lack of desire and an unwillingness to become a pan of recycling ef­ forts. I suppose my friend had a point. But my interpretation was that this student demonstrated no guilt or lack of shame in having a part in using this earth our Earth, for w hich there is no replacement as a personal garbage can. For that is, essentially, what this person isHnmc-- " ?-

The sad truth is. this stu­ dent is not alone. The next time you pass by a trash can on your i* ay in or oui of a classroom, glance down at it. Chances are. the light will catch on more than one aluminum can left there by one of your peers, student or professor. I guess the cans were too heavy or cumbersome to carry a few yards to the nearest recycling receptacle. And as I have men­ tioned before, these receptacles are located all over this campus for oar convenience now more thanever. thanks to Coca-Cola Company's kind donation.

Each time I witness a thoughtless, wasteful action such as that described above. I am amazed that any member of today's society could be so selfish and lazy. I real- lie there are differences among cul­

tures some emphasize environ- tnentalism more than others, while there re main those countries who do little at all to promote environmen­ tally conscious behaviors. But on this campus, there is little to ao chance to not at least be exposed to the idea of recycling.

I now leave you with some advice from Chief Seattle, w- tfc which may be familiar to y you

Teach your childrenwhat we have taught our chi,drtn-ihai die earth is our motaer.Whatever befalls the earthbefalls the sons and daughters ofthe earth.If men spit upon the ground,they 5pit upon themselves

This we know.The earth docs noc belong to us,we belong to the earth.This we Know.All things art connectedlike the Mood which tmgyg onefamily.All thines arc ocoaecied.Cr

Whatever befalls tbe earth -befalls the sons and daughters of the earth.\\fe did not -weave the web of life; \\fe arc merely a strand in a. Whatever w< do w tie. web, we do 03 ourselves-

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

another we musi go through a gate. However. Iks SOT means more than simply the traversing of borders: it stands as a svmbol and arterv of communication through the barriers of superstition, ignorance, dogma, racism and prejudice; traditional enemies which continue to be a detriment to progress and global peace.

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

Da* lor must therefore be an open forum for debate, a dealing house of ideas that may further prepare us for the international community and further augment the reputation of this youthful institution."

Tuition chargesInterest in a farm of discounted tuition for advanced students remains high. especiallyinsofara<<eliniinadonofthespecial fee imposed on pan-time stu­ dents, most of whom are students in the last term of enrollment- Work continues on alternative pricing strat­ egies with an eye to eliminating this fee. and more equitably charging for actual credit,

TechnologyAlmost everyone agrees that the pace of technology change at Thunderbird is finally keeping up with needs. Stu­ dents ae now on e-mail ami Internet, with dial-in access soon to come,

Computer center charges for Alumni and non-studentsWith the advent of e-mail, this charge is more palatable, but consideration might be reasonable to delay such charge for one full term following graduation.

Registration problemsAlthough not where we would want it, the spring registration proved far less a problem thai that for fall. This resulted from better scheduling, and more opportunities for add/drop in December. Plans to implement tele­ phone registration are underway and have been budgeted.

Five wek coursesThe Faculty Senate and Academic Affairs have agreed to refrain from summer five week offerings in 1995.

Campus Security Provides Escort

Serviceby Aaron Aylsworth

The Thunderbird commu­ nity is rather fortunate in thai in the past there has been a very low inci­ dence of violent crime on campus and in the surrounding apartment complexes. However, the occa­ sional lurker is still Merited and, with the growth in the surrounding area, there is always the possibility of undesirables coming onto cam­ pus.

Last semester the Student Escort Service wasdiscontinueddue to extremely low usage dunng the life of the program, there were perhaps one or two escort requests per semester. But an escort service still exists on campus.

According to Carl N'ewman, the Thunderbird Chief of Security, every night of the week at least thre trained security officers patrol the campus all night long one on foot, one on bicycle and one with a motorized can On Saturday nights, this patrol is augmented with another bicycle patrolman. At any time, a student can call the patrol's cellular telephone and request an escort to and from any place on campus. The patrol can also walk a student to the crosswalks on 59th Avenue, but due to legal and juris- dictional limitations they cannot escort students into the apartment complexes.

So, if its late at night and you feel that you would like an escort while walking on campus, go ahead and call a patrol. Theycanbe reached at 978-7223. I'm sure they would appreciate the company.

If you have any other ques- tions.concemsorrecommendatioas regarding security matters on cam­ pus, please don'thestitatetocontact either Carl Newman at 978-7211 or mvselfat978-7H7.

Visiting ViennaABROAD

cool, or rate blistery, memories of Winterim in Vienna Arriving just in time for New Year's Eve festivities in Stephanspkaz (more closely resem­ bling sheUing in Beirut that evening!). Dr. Kay Mirtnik and ten Thirds invaded Austria as a means of satisfying their Ger­ man III requirements. Vienna, a city cel­ ebrated for its cultural contributioas to the world, will never be same after this group left its indelible markof! ait kmfi.

Catherine Lindner. and Kirn Mlynarski with frequent spe­ cial guest appearances by Randy GreenfieM and firm Erik Lunderbye lived and studied in the charming comforts of the Rothensteiner Appartements. The group held class every morning in die apartment of ever-flowing coffee ( a big necessity lo keep up with Frau Mirtnik's ama/- ing energy a such earty hours), and then proceeded nearly every after­ noon with STADTBUMMELs throughout Vienna and its environs. Visits to the homes of composers, the opera, museums, palaces, and the neighboring Viennawoods were just a few of the countless places visited.

The workload was intense, but abalance was kept between work­

ing hard and playing hard Thedaily requiredjournal entries provided great cprxKturitiestoexperienceafewquite hours in many of Vienna's infamouscafes (after frequent attempts to solicit natives to write them failed). Week­ end trips to such places as Prague, Salzburg, and Munich were great

means of escaping homework for a few days and experiencing more of Europe.

According to the Winterim par­ ticipants, perhaps the best pan of the trip were the encounters with so many unique people - from the Scnauspit'ler.

——————————— LOCALIBM Business Management

Institute Conies to Thunderbirdby Sam Rosenbalm

On March 10 and 11, twenty-eight Thunderbird students were invited to participate in a gru- elmg two-day simulation that was an extremely valuable "capstone" experience for all who participated.

The simulation game is part of the Business Management Insti­ tute (BM1), ajoint program between IBM and Thunderbird. Dr Alien Momson (World Business) serves as the academic Director and Dr. Frank Lloyd (Director of Executive Education) is the Administrative Director for Thiinderhmf s «.irl»- of the program. Bill U'aananen. Pro­ gram Manager leadership Devel­ opment at IBM. uses his dynamic communication skills to provide excellent leadership throughout the simulations.

The BM1 headquarters are located at IBM's Arrnonk. NY cam­ pus and simulations have been held every month since August. 1994 (excluding December). A few of the simulations have been conducted on location in Europe and in Latin America. Thunderbird wa> the first non-IBM group to go through the simulation and the first group over­ all to do the simulation in two days raSiertfiariilie usual six!

IBM is so impressed with the results of the program that they are hosting the meeting of the Hu­ man Resource Development Group (a 25 member consortium of major corporations such as IBM. AT&T. Boeing, and Dupont) at Thunder- bird in April.

THE GAME: Four teams of eight have just graduated from Thunderbird and someone hands each group the keys to the 3< hh floor at four competing companies You have 90 minutes to make major de­ cisions (who is coinc to he hoss ;mii who gets money 'andyou'll find cut alter lunch if you get to sta> or.. .After MX exhausting decisions in the two days allocated. Bill Waananen declared one te.im the overall winner, but said he would match Thunderbirdi results with any IBM team that had participated in the program

Kemchi Ohrnae described our simulation experience in The Mind of The Strategist. "When one is striving to achieve or maintain a position of relative superiority over a dangerous competitor, the mind functions very differently from the way it does when the object is to make internal improvements (cut-

nngcosis.improvmgcash flow'.etc.),with reference to some absolute model. It is the difference between going into bank and going on a diet."

Most participants ex­ pressed a strong desire to provide the simulation for the entire student body. Realistically speaking.Thun­ derbird doesn't have the kind of resources to support i afford) the simulation as >uch If the technol­ ogy p:in of the simulation is re- mo\ ed. then a program remains that reomres mH'nsiM- nn-ikxis .it >tr;:' egy. number crunching, and learn integration Dr Beck ottered a simi­ lar scenario m in- \1B\I class last semester on a weekh basis, hut some students complained that n required II.HI much work and wj-.

Thunderbird has the aca­ demic resources to develop a pro­ gram sirnilanothe simulation game. Perhaps a week long competition could be held between student groups in required management classes. The feedback might not be as elaborate, but the opportunity to integrate newly acquired functional skills would be similar.

How Open Are Your Eyes?The calendar of most of the

Thunderbird community has now passed the midterm season With last minute completion of reading assign­ ments. finai organization of notes and the late mghts of preparation for the exam, my eyes seem to have resigned themselves to being only half-open.

Yet even with half-open eyes. it was impossible to miss a sigh! I find to be both offensive and intolerable:

chaining during a midterm exam.The Honor Code is topic

which has found its way into Das Tor in reoent weeks. Amidst hectic lives. Honor Code violation* seem to be a topiceasily ignored. Itdoesn'iconcemHV ll's nnf rnv r'.>vnnf!v.!H!!f\ 1 !! on!'.

hurts the student- who are doing it themselves

Yes. it duo hun ihe students w hi ' are guilt} of the v lolation. They don'iknov. the examination materials. Thai, how e\ er. i s certainly the least ot my concerns. Those of us w ho hon­ estly completed exams and a.ssicn- rnents on our own knowledge are be­ ing graded in the same field w ith those who cheated Does this concern you'1

It is my opinion that uphold­ ing the Honor Code is a matter of

integrity, a reflection of both personal and institutional scmdads of excel­ lence.

ItisaLsomyopmionthateach of us snares the responsibility for up­ holding the Honor Code, both in our own behavior and in being willing to take a stand when violations of the code have been observed.

For the Honor Code to be effective, the ethical standards ex­ pected of the Thunderbird commu­ nity need to be clearly defined (as has been suggested in a recent Das Tor letter!. Students must consider them- sd ves acti ve partici pants in uphoJdaig those standards Both students and professors need to be aware of what vtep-. they n"-' :o ::±c in response ;o observed or suspected Honor Code violations.

There is a role for each of us in seeing thai the Honor Code is re­ spected and upheld. I encourage each of y ou 10 pick up a copy of the current Honor Code at the ASLC office, take a moment to suggest changes or im­ provements, and support awareness of the issue of ethics at Thunderbird

Accolades for ITS1 was pleased to see the ar­

ticle entitled "Elves Found in Com­ puter Services" in the March 13th edition of Das Tor. All of the wonder­ ful people in the ITS have been instru­ mental in helping many of us on the Faculty to bring our courses on-line. They have, over the years, uncondi- tionallygivenrheirtime,meirenergies and their enthusiasm. They all de­ serve our support and gratitude for the wonderful job they do every day.

In particular. I want to thank Hedy de los Sanlos for her many efforts on my behalf; Tom Ford, for his support of the ESL Section during registration and testingeach term; Ron Skefftngton. for his guidance and as­ sistance; Lou Young, without whose help many of us would not be on CompuServe today; Bobbi Jagow, for all of the scheduling headaches she helps us all avoid; Nannene. for her

support and troubleshooting; and Caridace Deans, for helping to put it all together.

In addition to the "elves" m the ITS, may 1 also point out that none of the multimedia applications which we all enjoy in the Department of Modem Languages would have been possible without thesupportthededi- cationandtheenergiesofDr.Bevedy Knyxtautas and her tremendously tal­ ented crew at the V1ALT Shoppe. Larry. Jessica. Ingo. Aaron, and all those who have come and gone be­ fore you, thank you too. We in the DML appreciate what you have all accomplishedoverthepast few vears.

AGSIM is lucky to have these phenomenal people in ourcom- munity!

WORLDThe Life and Death of an Airline Hub

by Mart Haneke

In June 1987, American Airlines (AA) launched a major expansion of its East Coast opera- tioas through the opening of a new hub at Raleigh/Durham (RDU), North Carolina, Historically. AA had been an east-west airline with hubs in Dallas/Ft. Worth and Chi­ cago. However, in the mid-80's AA was in the heart of implementing its growth plan as the carrier sought to expand its geographic coverage of the country. On March 2.1995. AA began to dismantle the 8-year old hub.

From its inception. RDU was viewed as a huh which would connect north-south tra/ficaJonc the Eastern Seaboard, with primary fo­ cus on Northeast - Florida traffic. RDU was meant to serve as a com­ pliment 10 its sister AA north-south hub in Nashville. 450 miles to ihe west, where traffic flow s would con­ nect the upper Midwest with the Gulf states and Honda

AA invested $120 million in the RDU hub. and during its heyday a couple of years ago. the hub supported over 130daily (lights to 40 destinations from a 25-gate terminal. Additionally. 40 jet air­ craft and 2.8IX) AA employ­ ees were dedicated to the hub operation.

The original concept of an AA RDl hub was a good one. and the airline took advantage of a number of growth opportunities into new- markets as the hub matured. Nonstop flights to cities like Bermuda, Cancun, London, Paris and San Juan were added to flow more traffic via RDU. Then, somehow, the bottom fell out. and the airline publicly announced it had been losing money at RDU during the past two years. What happened?

First, several new low-cost

airlines sprung up on the East Coast during the past couple of years. Carriers like Valujet, Kiwi, AnTran. AirSouth and American Trans Airbegan offering service in the region with lower fares and lower operat­ ing costs versus the established air­ lines (AA. Delta. United). Also. these carriers began "overflying" hubs through offering increased nonstop service t east and Florida.. tinental launch within-an-airline* whose East Coasj tions was Green lina. a mete 7f>leigjr.

Second,«AA never fully.- exploited the true potential ot the" cityasaconnectpoint SinceAmen- can myopically viewed RDl a> a north-south operation, service to cities like New Orleans, Los Ange­ les and !>en\er was neu-r imple­ mented. In reality, however. RDl' was competing with other nearby hubs, such as Delta at Atlanta and I'SAir at Charlotte, where multiple daily nonstop flights were offered

to the cities just listed. Also, the close proximity of RDU'ssister hub. Nashville, proved to be a thorn in the side of RDU's expansion hori­ zon: the reason given "We can't haveduplicity with Nashville." Fur­ ther, two years ago AA convened the traffic flows at Nashville from

north-south to east-west when they realized the original concept wasn't working. Now most Nashville op­ erations provide duplicity with AA hub operations at Chicago and Dal­ las, and that Tennessee hub is also in serious danger of closure.

The airline industry is. by nature, constantly changing, and is more volatile than most. The "hub- and-spoke" systems which were in vogue during the 8()'s have given way to a renewed interest in "point- to-point" operations like Southwest Airlines'. Other hub operations have been downsized or closed, such as Continental at Denver and I'SAir at Baltimore, but experience suggests that a new order is appearing within the industry one in whicn major, established carriers like AA handle a majority of long-haul and connect­ ing traffic while Southwest and ".Southwest clones" dominate shorter-haul, point-to-point traffic in markets where flights are less ihan two hours in duration.

Another new twist in the evolution of airline hubs may be in the works. The concept of a "spiral" or rotating hub has been discussed. Instead of traditional "banks" of ar­ riving and departing flights sepa­ rated by 45-minute connect windows.

flights would arrive and depart yi in a continuous pattern through­

out the day. Such a plan would increase the efficiency of hubs and eliminate the inefficient

:,..: "peaks and valleys" inherent to Zi current hub structures. How- is ever, such a concept could only £x be implemented at the largest of

hubs, such as American's at Dallas or Delta's at Atlanta be­

cause of the critical mass and the vast amount of fixed assets needed to suppon such an operation.

The development of our deregulated airline industry contin­ ues to unfold. Now all eyes turn to the EU as it prepares to implement full aviation deregulation among its member nations in 1997, It is incum­ bent upon up-and-coming managers to continually rethink traditional practices and seek out new. innova­ tive ways of doing business in the crazy, glamorous, high-flying world of commercial aviation.

Elections Calledfor Worldwide

Hegemonby Mike James and Steve Rohnng

(As democracy swept the planet in the closing years of the twentieth century, the citizeas of the world gathered to cast their vote on a most unusual ballot:)

Vote for only one of the Following:

FOR THE POSITION OF WORLDWIDE HEGEMON:I'SA 'Incumbent) Candidate Country's Statement: Where ever there is a fight, when- ev er you need some might, you can count on John Wayne. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ronald Reagan. Clint Eastwood, and the rest of Amencas fighting forces to set things right. From the sands of I wo Jima. to the sands of Baghdad, and to the American Dollars in your pockets, the USA is always there. So Have a Coke and a Smile, stop stealing our software and loan our government another 250 billion for the next fiscal year! UNCLE SAM NEEDS YOU'

JapanCandidate Country's Statement: The world of today needs steady yet pragmatic leadership from a financially secure nation and we need a secure currency for interna­ tional trade. We can provide such benefits. We also have a vast selec­ tion of products for your nation to import, and we are willing in some cases to provide a few jobs for your economy by opening an assembly plant. We are a peaceful people and under our leadership the world will be freed from conditionality. and coercion. Let us together plan for the long term prosperity and growth for the world economy. PROSPERITY THROUGH CO­ OPERATION!

GermanyCandidate Country's Statement: The world has rejected authoritarianisrn (and so have we)! The world would like to work to- getherinpeaceandprosperity. Only in Germany have we joined together vastly different classes, sharing re­ sponsibility and benefits. Labor. management and government work together - f«uily, without greed or malice. We have the full support of the EU and outstanding relations with the major world players. We have and will continue to have the strongest and most stable reserve currency. We will encourage a modest UN force and add demilita­ rization to LMF conditionality. STABILITY AND PEACE THROUGH ECONOMICS!

South Sandwich Islands Candidate Country's Statement: You don't even know where we are, but we can assure you that we will never invade your nation (sincewe lack military forces). We also lack the kinds of financial resources needed to hire the military forces of other countries. We have no for­ eign interests, and we could care less about foreign assets (which we also lack). We speak English so the world doesn't have go to the trouble of learning a whole new "Language of Commerce." We use the Pound Sterling which has a longer history of stability than the dollar or such flash in the pans as the Mark or the Yen. We really believe in free trade and will not try any neo-mercantilist assaults on your economy when we attain financial leverage over you. Also we will not try to rob your economy of its savings by making annual requests of 250 billion dol­ lars, nor will we constantly annoy your nation with trade demands. GOAHEAD.DISKCOPYIT. WE DON'T CARE.

Havana Cafe - Cuban Food With a Bit of Spain Thrown In

FEED ME!

bv Shaun Dakin

6245 E. Bel! Road (Around 64th STREET) - Tel: 991-14%

Ratings: 1-5 with 5 being the best. Atmosphere: 3.5 Quasi-Patiowith a very "latin" atmosphere. Inside, beautiful lush plant look. Service: 3.5 We had a very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable wait­ ress. Not overbearing Appetizers: 3 Salads were a touch above ordinary.Main course: 4 Group of 10 went and all but one were very happy with the food. Nice variety. Price: SSS Entrees from SI 0.00 to S22 per person.

I was initially a little skep­ tical about heading all -the-way-over to 64th STREET just to eat dinner at. of all places, a Cuban restaurant. I must admit, I was not a big fan of Cuban food. The only other time I had eaten Cuban food was in Miami . last year, and I have to say, I was not at all impressed. There was a lot of pork, a lot of fat. and not a whole lot of taste. The only drawing at­ traction to a Cuban restaurant was the rrightlife, the music, and the danc­ ing'!

The Havana Gate hai changed my impressions of a "Cu­ ban" restaurant. Yes, 1 know, this place is probably not an authentic Cuban place, but I do know that I enjoyed the evening, the company, and most importantly for me, the Food!!

Cuban food, as it was ex­ plained to me, uses a lot of seafood as its base -that would make a lot of sense - and is not too spicy. It is NOT like Mexican food, but in­ stead, is closely related to Spanish tastes and textures. It is seasoned with saffron, garlic, sherry, and of­ ten served with peppers, onions, and rice and beans.

Our group started out the evening with several Sangrias. which were sweet but not too sweet. One individual tried a Latin Ameri­ can drink something to do with herbs which tasted like - chicken - ginger ale.(sorry just lost my train of thought) I myself enjoyed the Sangria and would have ordered quite a few if I was not on the old college budget.

Appetizers were respected all around. 1 panook in an ensalada mixta (mixed salad for you foreign students) which was slightly above 3%'erage. The vegetables were fresh, and the onions not too "oniony". Some of the others in the croup had the Calamari Fritos (Fried Squid) which they described as perfect, not too chewy but just right. The Calamari did come with a romesco sauce (don't ask me what it was). Our guest of honor. Carlos Salinas, tried the Gazpacho and said that it was very nice.

The main dishes all came out at the same time and no one was forced to wait while other's food quickly became cold. I had the vegetable Paella (S12) which was cooked very nicely. 1 have been told that there are various si vies of paella, the Barcelona and ihc Madrid and various others. "Ilui wa» cooked in a small heavy cooking pot, served steaming hot, and in a serving big enough to last the entire evening. I enjoyed it very much.

Our guest of honor bad the Ceviche (7S as an appetizer) and was not very impressed. Ceviche is fresh scallops, shrimp, and white fish "cooked" in lime juice and mixed with hot and sweet peppers, onions, and tomatoes. On a scale of one to ten. he gave it a three. Safe bet, stay away from the Ceviche.

Someone else, who had lived in Spain for a time, tried the Tortilla Espanola (Spanish Torti­ lla). Yearning to recreate her past

memories of grey and dirty Spanish bars she seemed (o have hit the nail on the head. This "tortilla" is in fact chopped up potatoes mixed with egg and fried. I had a taste and thought it interesting, though I would never order it alone for dinner.

Other company members tried the Ropa Veija (S9.95) - Lean shredded beef braised in a sauce of tomatoes, onions, sweet peppers herbs and red wine. A word of warning. To most of us "shredded beif means ihiniy sliced beef, tea derandmoist. To the Havana Cafe, shredded beef meant "chopped beer.IE...Hamburger. Thisgentle- man was not brimming with joy over his menu selection.

Several people really en­ joyed the Polio Cubano (S9.*95) - boneless breast of chicken mari­ nated with lime, orange and garlic sauteed with sweet onions. The con­ sensus on this little guy was "fabu­ lous, absolutely fabulous". 1 didn't give it a shot. I was too busy trying to eat half my order of Paella, but it looked great

De-.serK'" If you have room i would recommend the bread pudding. I know, I know, bread pudding? Who is he kidding? That was something I had when I was a kid in summer camp, hey. Grandma served that to me. I kid you not this dessert was delectable. Dense, filled with cinnamon, and covered in a rum-based hot fudge sauce. This stuffis making me hungry just writ­ ing about it

The group's opinion was unanimous; for a good time call HavanaCafe,drive all-the-way-over to the other side of town, and eat until you have room for dessert.

Monday - Thursday l(!:30am -9:00pm'Friday - Saturday I0:30am -10:00pm

If you are in Old Town Scortsdale or shopping at the Fash­ ion Square Mall and you'd like to avoid spending a lot of cash at one of the "trendy" restaurants in the area, this is yourplace. This family owned restaurant has two tables inside, and wo tables outside, with limited counter seating also avail­ able inside. The owner is almost always in and she will take your orderpersonally. I'mnotsureifthe cook speaks English or not but your order will be relayed to him in Spanish. Service is speedy, never than more than a few minutes wait for your food, which is cooked to order, and although ambiance is missing, a lively atmosphere is cer­ tainly present.

This is one of my favorite lunch places if 1 happen to be in the area. If you manage to spend more than S6.00 per person, you've prob­ ably ordered 100 much food''' The portions arc gargantuan However. margantas are out, they don't serve

alcoholThe Phoenix Sew Times

has consistently rated this restau­ rant as one of the best kept secrets in Phoenix You can dine on the premesis or take out is available. and if you want to prepare a Mexi­ can feast at home, but are not quite talented enough to prepare all of the ingredients, they also riavedeli take­ out items. By the pint they sell guacamole, salsa fresca. nee. beans, chorizo. taco meat, machaca (spicy shreaded beef), red and green chile sauce prepared wi th meat. For take­ out, green chile corn and red chile beef tamales are available by the dozen. On their regular menu they offer huge burros filled with your choice of red chile meat, green chile meat, machaca, chicken, beans with cheese, come asada, cborizo, and ground beef; tacos filled with ground beef, machaca. chicken, came asada, or rolled beef taquitos covered with guacamole.

They also have quesadillas with chicken, machaca, guacamole. green chile or just plain cheese. Enchiladas, tostadas. tamales. and chile rellenos are also very popular. My favorite thing to order is the machaca chimichanga, which is a deep fried burro covered with cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. It covers the entire plate, and I can just barely finish it. I highly recom­ mend this place as one of the best Mexican cafes in Phoenix, and definetely one of the cheapest

I haw been considering writ­ ing m article for Gas Tor ever since my old roommate was editor a few semestersago. Now, with other friends involved with the paper. I decided to give it a try.

Of course, the hard pun was deciding what 10 write about. Then" is the old standby, current events, hut it tends to he a hit depressing. For ex­ ample, did anyone notice thai almost exactly.VKcarsafterDr. Martini aitha King's, "I I lave a Dream" speech, v.e learn that O.j hai a dream'1 What's more depressing is thai H was brought so our attention in thelirsi place, CM iruii OJ.'sdream has apparemiy come true.

So. what else'.' There is the angst-ridden voiceof social conscious­ ness. Generation X. but it's a whiny voice at best. Apparently Generation X wii] be remembered us a generatiw i of cynics, not realists- and no one likes a cynic. I think I'll skip it!

Something about Thunder- bird night be relevant A column on the course; might be a good place to aari Somethinglike, "What I Learned in (so-and-so's) Oassl£. "What I Learned In 'Baby'Accounting" An­ swer. Debit tuition. Credit GPA.

Or maybe a Political Action column would do some good. We students could promote great change like foroiddng the International Stud­ ies Dept. from ———• using poii-sci buzz words "Lonely

What am I going to write about? Wen. I guess I'll just write a brief commentary on the Pub (of course, if this article were being writ­ ten by an LS. professor it would have a fancier name like, "Lonely Inebri­ ated Men at the Pub" aka LIMP.).

I think it all started with the movie Terminator II. Am I the only one who wanted to see Arnold terror­ ize the neighborhood a little? But no, instead we see him commit suicide, fighting back the tears as he waves goodbye (how touching).

What ever happened to sweaty, hairy men goin' down in a blaze of bullets? When did it become aprerequisite for leading male mo vie- stars to shave their buns for their man-

daiory sex scene? How did these pys turn so wimpy?

I" m not saying that Rarnbo is a "ical" man but someti mes I question if he's not better than the humbling idiots of today's popular culture: i.e. Bill Cosby (the Cosby Show).

They're all competing for attention, hoping thai they'll be the lucky, chosen guy. You either1.)

Of course, many of the gMstove all the attention (and why not) and take advantage of their position of power (i.e. suppliers of a rare commodity).4.) You're an ex-LI.MP. who has had it with the women here because you feel you've been used.
