Mastering the system does lake time.

T-Bird Reunionby Steve Sherman

On a sunny Saturday afternon in June, more than twenty T-Bird alumni gathered together at a chalet outside of Madrid. Spain. The reunion took place at the home of T-Bird alumnus, Rob Smith, who is presently working for Firestone Hispania, S.A.

The reunion program included a pot-luck dinner, swimming, tennis, and a soccer game. The group of alumni, who had previously been gathering bi-annually. decided to begin a "T-Bird Tuesday" in Spain, as it was common in other coun­ tries. The reunion was a result of the suc­ cess of the "T-Bird Tuesdays.''

Those at the reunion included Rob Smith, Lob Kleinbussink, Jerry Green, John (Mien. Ormand Hildebrand, James Dodson. Alvaro Morenes Mariategui, and Javier Pontijoch whose wife Gina is the daughter of Professor Ramsey.

SEE THE W®RLD—— ————— • ^

Srinigarby Sarah Jenkins

Srinigar, the Venice of India, the canal city of Kashmir. A place to spend after­ noons drifting aboard a shikara and even­ ings sipping Kashmir! tea inside tbe cozy confines of an anchored houseboat situated at Lake 0*1. Located at the base of the Himalayas, Just east of Pakistan, Srinigar offers respite from tbe torrid beat which typifies most of India.

Houseboats are the primary mode of

popularity dates back to colonial India when British expatriates in search of relief from the sweltering temperatures of Delhi and Bombay would seek refuge to this cool mountainous region. As it was forbidden for noo-Kashmiris to purchase land hi Kashmir, tbe British began purchasing houseboats which became their second homes.

Today, houseboats circle tbe shores of the three major lakes in Srinigar. Their quality ranges from bare bones to deluxe. All are anchored and are accessible by shikara, a small well-cushioned vessel which is the Kashmiri answer to a taxi system.

The boat I stayed on was top of the line. Tbe living room had intricate woodwork on the walls and there were more crystal chandeliers in tbe boat than tbe Palace of Versailles. When requested, our "houseboy" would build fires in the rooms before dawn, so we wouldn't wake up to a cold room. Electricity was available dur­ ing certain hours only. Hot water did exist but those of us in tbe front of tbe houseboat

. had to run the tap for about ten minutes in I* order for the hot water to reach the pipes.< Meals were western and more than M.-.. _.

After spending time paddling through the canals of Srinigar and walking through

the town. I got a taste of Kashmir! culture. I saw women paddling out for drinking water, watched men rolling logs, observed others washing domes in the canal (sometimes not too far from where the raw sewage drained in). At the rug factories, I was amazed to watch little children swiftly tying knots onto intricate carpets. In tbe village, I saw traditional Kashmiri women with their entire beads and faces covered up by black cloths with only two em­ broidered slits for vision.

Along the waterfront, I witnessed Kashmiri life in its many facets newly washed quuts were spread oat to dry on the brown earth, a woman on her knees swabbed tbe deck of her floating home, old men seated along tbe sidewalk waited pa­ tiently for a shave at the "baiter shop," which consisted of a chair with a mirror tacked onto a tree.

Kashmir is unlike most of India in that it is geographically situated in the Himalayas and that it is culturally closer to Pakistan than to India. Kashmiris are overwhelmingly Muslim. Most had ancestors who were at one time "Un­ touchables" In tbe Hindu caste system. Given the chance to convert to Islam and be considered the equals of all men. tbe former "Untouchables" embraced Islam and forsook their Hindu heritage. Many Kashmiris would like to secede from India and become a part of Pakistan. India will be hard-pressed to let go of this diamond in the rough, out many in Srinigar fear thai conflict is inevitable.

If you nope one day to travel to India mainly to see the TaJ Mabal, keep in mind that India is a vast and varied land with**o«ntJocr Interesting ftrgloftb. A fewdays in a cozy houseboat in Srinigar, at the base of the Himalayas, is a pleasurable way to experience another side of India.

ANARCHY TODAYPolyester: It's Not Just A Fabric ...

by John Heather"But it's so easy," comments one

satisfied consumer as be slovenly sits wat­ ching "Three's Company." A microwave bum to squirts onto his Sears'Casual Wear shirt

"See this salsa spot here. Well, I just pop tbe shirt in the washer and it comes out cleaned and wrinkle free. Nobody can tell the difference {ran cotton."

I can. It's the difference between human development and tbe de-evolution of me species.

Polyester is a sythetlc textile fabricated to imitate and replace pressed cotton. Bat poJy Is not merely a fabric, it is tbe symbol of a60/« way of life. Alife dependent upon the artificial for economy,and order. A life content with living in a stagnant pool forgoing the insecurity of the flowing river.

Poly is nothing less than an outright at­ tack on the dignity of mankind and the foremost contributor to man's downward spiral.

America has been tbe incubator for the propagatta of poly. Just took at Glendak - replete with shopping malls, fast food joints and convenience stores. UK ever- present tract home is a depressing reminder of modern man's weakened spirit which whines for frugality over originality. At one time, a man's home was his castle. Today, the stone structures of tbe castle are prefabricated dry wall nail­ ed to 2r4s.

Polys artificially imposed cloakmgs have led to tbe mutation of tbe creative

process. Poly deformed tbe once classic American automobile, gave birth to disco and made wearing black socks with snorts acceptable. Travesties such as tbe Na­ tional Enquirer, lotteries and Kansas are all physical examples of man's divergence from his unique, individual self.

An inordinate amount of tbe population has already been infected. The "100% natural" feeling has faded to a mere im­ print on a collective chromosome. Tbe malady also appears to be spreading into tbe professional Odd through the clerical level.

Poly is a festering Incubus in TVs womb. Sports heroes doing antacid com­ mercials are induced by money into the ranks of poly commanders. Even Elvis, once UK King of CooL was annexed into po- ly's acrylic grip as be bloated into a se- quined corpse.

One trip to Las Vegas will confirm the rf*tpfo? of man's true self succumbing to tbe synthetic. Vegas is tbe apex of everything polyester feeding on tbe Achille's heel of human nature.

It is up to today's women to bring man up from the abyss. As she saved tbe fire from tbe caveman's urination in tbe early days of civilization, it is now her turn again to assume evoluttonary responsibility.

entOnly through woman's omnl scrutiny can man find the will to search for his natural, wrinkled self. The downward spiral of mankind will only be abated when woman puts her foot down and demands, "Nopoly!"

ASLC Elections AnnouncedDear Fellow Students:

This Tuesday. September 16. marks the deadline for all of those persons wishing to run for an ASLC position.

The student government was established in order to represent the Associated Students to the administration, the faculty, the Board of Trustees and the community at large. The primary responsibility of the ASLC is to administer the student ac­ tivities fund and coordinate campus events. This sounds like pretty dry stuff reserved for the goody-goody ego-driven types. In reality. ASLC is simply a group of students willing and eager to contribute time and ideas to this institution and at the same time, exercise and develop personal management stills.

There are many reasons why yon find serving on the ASLC a valuable ex­ perience. This is a management school and most of you aspire to be a decision- maker someday. The ability to com­ municate well, motivate others, identify problems and suggest solutions are key elements upon which you and I will some­ day be appraised. In this respect ASLC provides an excellent training ground. The decision making process of the ASLC in­ volves group discussion and idea genera­ tion which closely resembles that of the corporate level.

Each semester the ASLC allocates thousands of dollars for different pro­ grams. Usually all members are involved with committees concerning such impor­ tant events as orientation for new students, graduation, club fund allocation, the speakers committee, parties and academic affairs. Virtually all aspects of student life on campus are overseen by the

ASLC. We deal with real problems, real people and real money. It's real business experience that would look good on a resume. t

The positions open for etecuoo during the fall semester include the following:

l.Three First Semester Represen­ tatives(You must be a first semester stu­ dent!

ITwo Representatives at Large (You may be in anystudy)

3Jtve Area RearA. North AmericaB. Latin AmericaC. Middle East/AfricaD.AsiaE.Europe

As many of you know, this year marks the «tfc Anniversary of Thunderbtrd. This year is certain to be filled with activi­ ty, fan, challenges, and rewards for aO students involved with the ASLC. The ASLC would like to encourage an students from all nations to ran for office, to get in­ volved, and to make this tbe best and moit fun ASLC ever.

For those interested, please come by the ASLC office for more information and in­ structions no later than this Thursday (Sept 18). Tbe elections will be held Thursday the 2Sth. The first ASLC meeting will be held that night at 5:00 p m. Good luck!

Sincerely.Da vid BurnedASLC Entertainment Chairman

Trivia Corner: Classified Matingby Sarah Jenkins

AttrSWF bind Muslim ami MBA26 seeks SWM yuppie 23-35 for adven­ ture, companionship, romance, mar­ riage. Weary of bars and Insincerity. Send photo, letter, phone, bank state­ ment Box 2008.

By now ads like this are popping up in newspapers across the nation and are no longer reserved for tbe back pages of second-rate publications. "Classified dating" is tbe wave of the 80s and although many of us find this phenomenon somewhat weird, it is by no means ex­ clusive to the United States.

In India, for example, tbe newspapers publish weekly matrimony columns whereby matchmaking parents can adver­ tise the assets of their offspring as a means of locating appropriate sons or daughters- in-law. A typical ad may read like this:

Mate PhD candidate Brahmin age

31 US great card seeks «i»iKi*r vir­ tuous Brahmin spouse U-30 no dowry to relocate to New York. Pisces preferred. Respond to Box IP.

The majority of us would probably never consider actually placing or responding to such an ad. Yet there are people out there spilling their souls onto a five-line blurb in hopes of being spotted by some unsuspec­ ting reader who was actually scanning the classified^ in search of a second-band Mercedes.

Like it or not mail-order brides and classified ma ting are here to stay. So when your post-Thundertirt career takes you to tbe edge of tbe earth, be sore to pack a copy of tbe Chicago Tribune's Lonely Hearts section or tbe India Tribune's matrimony column. Love, romance, and a walk down the aisle may only be an adver­ tisement away.

After discussing the real need to keep thecomputerfacilittesopenafterlOp.m (for students' use). Dr. Voris has agreed to keep the AV-l room open ax long as it is needed. I suggested extra hours around mid-term examinations and about two weeks prior to final examina­ tions. I have informed Dean Beaver of Dr. Voris'decision.2. We discussed the possibility and our strong desire to hold the December 19, 1986 graduation outside in the Quad area. Itisspacious, cooler, beautiful and in the past tt has been proven to be a success As soon as toe graduation committee is

termed, we wu report to the Thaler- bird community of our ideas cod pro­ jects. Everyone is tevtted to participate in all the commencement activities 3. Or. Voris agrees that final exams should end the day before graduation I fee! it is unfair for graduating students to have to take exams on that day. We con­ tinue to stress tte importance for a digBtfW aad well-organized ceremony tor the sake of all the parents and friends who come from so many places. 4 I Informed Dr. Voris that a member of tte British Parliament, Geoff Lawter M P , will be visiting Thunderbird during tte week of our ground breaking ceremonies. He will be residing on cam­ pus, eating in the cafeteria, and speaking to various classes and clubs. The office of tte President will match the ASLC's budgetforthis visit. All of you will have the opportunity to meet, dine, or sit by the pool with a member of Parliament. You have a while to brush up on your British accent!!!5. The ASLC is happy to announce the long awaited admimstrationy faculty/stu­ dent forum in order to inform and serve our students better.

Beawr Foreign Programs. I urge the students to take advantage of this com - municatmn tool with a positive attitude 6. Furthermore. I informed Dr. Voris of our speakers for the fall (tentative schedule), tte importance of continuing with the Thunderbird games (our new established tradition) ami our efforts to invite President Reagan to visit our cam­ pus. Corazon Aquino regrets not being able to visit Thunderbird during September. Dr. Voris praised the ASLCs efforts on all these matters

7,1 also expressed the ASLCs decision to limit the club parties to eight weekends during the fall semester of 1986. We fee! mis will allow tte clubs to get-together and organize better and more creative gatherings. The rest of the weekends are being taken by activities such as "An Evening at tte Symphony," the 40th B- Day weekend, the Balloon Race, and the ASLC sponsored parties.

On Friday, September 5, Gigi Myung. ASLC V.P., Dean Beaver, and I, visited with the general managers at the

Arizona Bfltmore Hotel A few of our students rented rooms and alto' tte August graduation party, proceeded to continue the "celetoratJoos in their rooms. Doe to their ioudness, and poor behavior, Ox general manager of tte Arizona Biltmore sent a letter to Presi­ dent Voris expressing their decision not to welcome toy further business from AGSIM. The reason for our visit was to apologize on behalf of those students as weQ as to repair any damages to our reputation We hope tte Biltmore revokes their decision I urge the students to behave properly in such func­ tions as it only takes a few to tart at in the long run

ASLC CORNER ASLCLet's Play Ultimate CLASSIFIED

by Robert StoaeUltimate Frisbee, sometimes

caBed frisbee football is a game for everyone. Its simple object is to pass the frisbee from player to player, dodging the defenders, un- tiJ a point is scored by catching the disk in the end zone. Each time the disk is dropped, intercepted or goes out of bounds, defense and of-

fease reverse rotes, and everyone runs like crazy back the other way.

The Ultimate Frisbee CM» is open to ever, one, and new players are always welcome. Regular games are Wednesday, Friday and Sunday evenings on the field south of the campus entrance.

First, assume the recruitersfrom Boston Consulting Group won't be impressed

by a*B"in corporate finance.

Life is hard. A winning smile isn't enough.

If you want a top job. you need top grades.

If you're with us so far. you can under­ stand the appeal of an HP-12C calculator,

The HP-12C has more financial calculating power, built right in. than any other hand-held calculator.

Yet it's wonderously easy to use. You just push one button, for instance,

and knock out a time value of monev calculation as easily as accepting a six- figure offer.

No wonder swarms of biggies in banking, finance and consulting all keep an HP-12C dose to their hearts-or their checkbooks.

In fact, the HP-12C is widely recognized as the standard among professionals in \' finance and investments. (No puffery here. Just ask anybody at the top in those fields.)

And, if anything, the HP-12C might be a trifle overbuilt. It's put together to last right up to the day they give you a gold watch and a numbered Swiss bank account.

Get one today. Then when the people from BCG ask to see your credentials, you can show them your winning smile, your

HP-12C.and- hopefully—an A in corporate finance.

By the way, if you want more information, just call us at 800- FOR-HPPC.Ask forDept.735C.
