TBird Climbs to the Top.

by Stephen A. Khan

Martin Luther King Jr. born on Janu­ ary 15,1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, is widely recognized as the father of

the 1960's Gvil Rights movement. He was the son and grandson of southern Baptist ffimjstas. King graduated from Morehouse College at the age of 19, three years later he earned the Bachelor of Divinity Degree at GozerTheological Seminary, andin 1955 he was awarded a Ph.D. at Boston University. While studying in Boston he met and soon married Coretta Scon.

Though young Martin was the son

of "substantial" Negro parents, he neverthe­ less endured the ruthlessness of the segre­ gated South. At Dozer he developed a fasci­ nation for Mahatrna Gandhi, whose life and teachings were ultimately to influence his own destiny as a leading apostle of nonviolent resistance.

King isprobably most widely known for his "I Have a Dream" speech given at the most massive protest demonstration ever to occur in the United States in the March on Washington on August 28, 1963. Some 250,000 Americans of all faiths, races, and creeds joined him and other civil rights lead­ ers in an unprecedented demonstration of solidarity.

In 1964, King was recognized for hisefforts to bring peaceful change to America; he received the Nobel Prize, becoming at 35 the youngest person thus honored Sadly though, on April 4. 1968 King was assassi­ nated while standing on the balcony of a hotel in Memphis, Tennessee.

Initially, the thought of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro alone made my hair bristle with apprehension, but the romantic al­

lure of scaling Africa's tallest peak ( 19.340 feet ) was enough of a draw to spur me to make the attempt. Kilimanjaro, the highest free standing mountain in the world, is rather unforgiving and requires a six dav viimh

Bonjourtoutlemonde! We have had a good starting week especially the week­

end! Since our last letter, we have changed class schedules, classrooms (buildings in some cases), and started getting our teams for our projects together. Most of us have been activein thesearch for a summer internship. We have been keeping CSC hopping with faxes. Many of us spent some time following up on leads given to us by the IMF visit here last Monday. One student, for example, faxed the World Bank office in Paris to ask for internship applications. The IMF Representative who visited here told us that many of the World Bcnk positions offer more opportunities to be involved with political issues rather than a primary focus on economic indicators.

In regards to social events, we've been busy as well Our residence hosts at the Qtadines gave us and the Director of Foreign Programs, Dr. Curt Harvey, a reception on Monday evening. They introduced us to the local wine vin du Savoie which because of its strength, they warned, can easily give oneama/<f/at£tttheday after. On Thursday, we hada"GeoevaPub Night" atalocal British styte bar called Lord Nelson's. Those of us there met a couple of Marine guards who work for the US Embassy. They invited T Birds to join them for upcoming panics and voUeybaJl tournaments hosted by the US Embassy, Geneva.

Forthe weekend, rBirdsdispersed. A group beaded for a ski weekend on a nearby Alp...ooly one twisted knee. Some ventured toChamonix,not to ski, but to ride the cable car to the top. One headed to Paris a "must- do" before crossing the Atlantic home. A couple of us hit the International Red Cross Museum a moving experience. Others fa­ miliarized themselves with the library re­ sources at the United Nations and the ^^ GATT. One former TBird rugby player got stuck climbing St. Pierre's Cathedral spiral staircase, which was more narrow than his shoulders!

Looking ahead, we are all eager to hear two TBird alumni dis­ cuss their careers with the UNHCR on Thursday evening. We hope you in Glendale arc well and enjoying Ari­ zona sunshine. Please fax a few rays to Geneva!

Diko you like watching movies ? Yes, of course you do! Otherwise, you can'tfind any other form of entertainment

here in Glendale. I love watching movies and am happy to be in America because the price is much cheaper here than in my home coun­ try, Japan.

In downtown Tokyo, you have to pay about S15 for one movie. I was also glad to find that in America. I could watch several me vies for the price of one (I know that we are not supposed to do this!). In Japan you can't do this because each screen has its own ticket entrance.

One more good thing about Ameri­ can movie theaters is that you can almost always find a seat. In Tokyo, movie theaters are always so crowded that one sometimes can only see the screen by standing along the aisies. Going to the movies in Japan sounds frustrating, doesn't it ?

I sometimes miss movies in Tokyo, however, because they have more foreign films. I seldom find foreign films here. In Tokyo, one can usually see various foreign (including non-Hollywood) films, as well as Japanese films.

In addition, there is an annual film festival called "The Tokyo International Film Festival." During this festival, six or seven host movie theaters show many different films every day for as long as three weeks Each host theater has a particular theme like "hor­ ror". "Sd-Fi", "animation", "adventure" etc. In this festival, you can see many excellent movies from all over the world.

Finally, I have one question about American movies. Why do most American movies have "happy endings" ? Don't people occasionally want to see a sad movie ? Maybe movies with "unhappy endings" are not so popular here in the US. In Japan, people sometimes like to see movies with "sad end­ ings." If you find any well-done sad-ending films, please let me know.

Nelson Mandela

by Venum Steward

Black History Month, it is an honor, as a South African, to pay tribute to one of the most prominent living Black

leaders of our generation. Nelson Mandela His commitment and struggle to transform the discriminating society he lived in, leading to his years of personal sacrifice in prison, are not only an inspiration to all South Africans who are working for a peaceful, democratic future, but have spurred champions of human rights from around the world to action.

Intemanonally.Mandela has become the symbolic embodiment of South Africa's new hopes and fears, and this honor is well bestowed, as his plight drew much interna­ tional attention to the political realities in Scui Africa, pressurirtg the government to abandon the policy of Apartheid. His release from prison in 1991 was one of the most potent indicators, and one of die most endur­ ing images of an old political order dying and an evolutionary path towards a new normalcy being forged.

The last three years have been turbo- lent, as a whole nation strnggied to adjust to a new socio-political latxfccapr. from which Mandela's African National Congress should emerge as victor in the first multi-racial elec­ tion later this year in April bis my hope that there wiU be a core of people with the charac­ ter of Nelson Mandela, who can steer the nascent democracy which is South Africa through its temperamental teething phase, to a time of peace, unity and prosperity.

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

another we must go through a gate. However, Jb» Ear means more than simply the traversing of borders; it stands as a symbol and attery 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 ft may sound, it has now become me 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 have failed.

International Student ForumDoing Business in China (PRC)

by Geoff Martin"There is gold in China. BUT. you

must dig for your gold!!!" according to Am­ bassador Wang Xue Xian. Consul General, People's Republic of China, Los Angeles. "China will not sway from its current course and has embarked on a road of no return. China is ready to do business with its friends around the world." They do not however, like the approach of the U.S. government with regard to their M.F.N. status and linking it to human rights issues.

What golden opportunities exist? you may ask. Well, consider that the Chinese economy has grown ai an average rate of 9^ per year, every year, since 1979 as a result of changes embarked on by the government. This means the economy will have nearly quadrupled by 19%. China has only a total of 560 miles of ex­ pressways and an overloaded rail system. A system of modem East-West and North- South freeways are planned by the govern­ ment. 100 new airports have been planned and 100 existing airports have been approved for up­ grading. 200 planes have been purchased from Boeing and contracts for an additional 100 have been signed. China expects to spend about S100M per year on high technology imports in the next 7 years. A dam is planned on the Yangtse river at a pTOjectedcostofSlOBlLLION. Doyouhave any friends in the concrete business? (Be aware of international environmental con­ cerns though.) The Chinese government has approved more than 100.000 foreign projects in the last 2 years. Not bad fora bureaucracy.

Do you want lodo business in China? As part of recent Phoenix Chinese Week events Has tor sent two reporters to the half- day seminar "Doing Business in China," about business opportunities for small to medium sized companies in the (Phoenix) sister city of ChengduandgreaierChina ForThunderbird students, many of the points mentioned about preparation for foreign business would be somewhat obvious. The topics included:

International Trade and Investment in China by Mr. Gu. from the Commercial Consul of the China Consulate General in Los Angeles. He noted there are 10.000 U.S. investments in China and that the U.S.A. is China's third largest trading partner, after Japan and Hong Kong.

Intellectual Property and Technol­ ogy Transfer by Michael Lechter from the firm of Streich Lang. attorneys specializing in intellectual property law The People's Re­ public of China is strengthening intellec­ tual property laws af­ ter talks with the U.S. Trade Rep It has been estimated that U.S. companies lose S50 Billion annually, worldwide, due to lack of law enforcement.S u f fice i t to say that you need a professional to handle this area in negotiations because of the differences between the two countries.

Guan<?xi Province hy Hai I in Yang. Director of the Foreign Economic Relations and Trade Commission for Guangxi Zhang Autonomous Region. If the beauty of Guilm. hydroelectric power, large ports, sugar cane and minerals exports are of interest to you.call Beijing 01 -771 -3215 or Fax (0771) 551581.

China's Distribution System by Min Chen. AGSIM's own professor. He quickly outlined the changes in their system from one of straight allocation through specificgovem- ment organizations to the newly evolving pattemswhich include joint ventures and for­ eign retailers.

Can An/ona Snuill Business Com­ pete in China? This was a panel discussion with Mr. Chihsing Fan. who is president of Tempe based US ASIA Company, comprised of selected Chinese professionals residing in the U.S or China. The pur­ pose of the company is to facilitate business relation­ ships between the two coun­ tries. Call (967-4148) or fax (967-5710). Alsoonthepanel

was Mr. W. Lee Ting, president of Phoenix based Transource Computers and Mr A. Seal Braun. consultant.

A short summary of the information from the panel follows. Have a qualified person wth you for all pans of your negotia­ tions, make contacts with other people in the same industry and use all government com­ mercial agencies forassistance. The People's Liberation Army (P.L. A.) is a large purchaser of goods; maintaining good contacts there could prove very beneficial. Give the best price you can and be aware that the Chinese

have a remarkable intel­ ligence gathering net­ work Mr. Ting remarked that in one negotiation, the Chinese buyers sat doun, stated Mr Ting's bottom line exactly and prepared to start from there The time lor sue- cev. depend-, on the prod­ uct, and hou the product fits into the needs of the

Chinese government. Deals are not made overnight and government priorities change'

A summary of their points: Have a business plan. A feasibility study is required for government approvals. Be committed for the long and not shon term Remember, vou need to establish and develop relationships and communication skillsandenergy areiXTTainlv necessary ITk- contract is just the beginning of the relation­ ship. Government policy is changing all the time.

If your product is wanted or needed you will have a much easier time getting approvals. Research your market Government involve­ ment is extensive in business and Chinese business contacts are important The export industry, joint ventures and tech­ nology transfer are encouraged and regional incentives are available for business. Each type of business is taxed differently and loca­ tion in China can be a blessing. Right now the government is trying to move the economic benefits of recent years inland to parts of the country that have missed out on changes. Ensure that your contract is valid under Chinese law and have some dispute resolution mechanism in place, Chinese currency is convertible as of 1 -1 -94 Chiru'seconomy is doubling every 10 years and the government has acted to curb the overheating economy Remember, the state can intervene at any time, for any reason. The current priorities are (1) Transportation 12} Energy 131 Telecommunications Push products that will solve problems-trie latest of technology is not needed when people are really only ready for the current phase.

a noted US educator and historian, spear­ headed the campaign, celebrated in February, which promotes the public recognition of the contributions of black Americans to US his­ tory and world history. A highly regarded intellectual, Wilson chose February as the time for the annual celebration because it is the month in which Abraham Lincoln (Feb 12) and Frederick Douglass (Feb U) were bom. "Activities highlighted during the cel­ ebration in February are generally, though not exclusively, social and cultural in nature. Specific events include lectures by historians, educators and artists. There are essay, poetry and oratorical comests.anddramas and plays."

The recommendation by T birds Khan and Everett to celebrate Martin Luther King Day during Black History Month could not be more timely for Arizonans. In Novem­ ber 1992, Arizonans voted 61* to 39^ to create a State holiday to honor the civil-rights leader Martin Luther King. Originally im­ posed in 1988 by Governor Bruce Babbitt (now Secretary of the Interior), the holiday was rescinded by Governor Evan Mecham. Put to the electorate in 1990. the issue was rejected After the 1992 vote, the Phoenix and Valley of the Sun Convention and Visi­ tors Bureau began notifying the 166 groups that canceled visits the year before, when a full 5189 million of convention business is

estimated to have been lost.Mr. Gillis is the president and chief

CLUB SCENEEntrepreneursClub: The Second Coming

by Nick Walker

The Entrepreneurs Club, rising out of the dying embers of 1993, after several years of woeful neglect, is now in the prime of puberty and ready to satisfy the itch. On the agenda this semester is the organization of a Task Force in conjunc­ tion with the Marketing Club, the Envi­ ronmental Club, and Bud Clutter, the Grounds Supervisor, to transform the school's recycling activities into a cash cow, or at least a calf. Furthermore, the Club intends to petition the library to ex­ pand its "entrepreneurs section." and en­ courages new members to invest in hand­ cuffs in case they need to Jock themselves to library doors, as a means of peaceful protest. The Club also intends to host a variety of speakers, possibly in the guise of a Forum, to both share their entrepreneur- ial experiences and explain the mechanics of starting a business.

We would also like to start a pet project this semester perhaps a campus- related business that could be sustained for semesters to come. However, the main thrust of the Club will be to provide its members a platform to discuss new ideas and hopefully to learn how to put those ideas into practice. If you're interested in expressing your ideas, relish the prospect of throwing yourself into irreparable per­ sonal bankruptcy, or can't find a softball team that's willing to take you on because you suck, then fork over the S5.00 to us and be happy. For more information, call Rob Prescott (843-7290) or Nick Walker (938-8481). We will also be discussing the validity of an apostrophe in our name.

THUNDERBIRDNEWMAX CLUB ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE will be held at 1:10 PM (During Dead Hour)Wednesday, February 16. at the Inter Faith Center (at the comer of Greenway Rd. & 59th Ave. on campus).

Beyond the Cutting €dge

From Inside the Black Box.

At the Feb.4 meeting ol'the Information Strategic Task Force Committee (1STF). the first issue was whether

students should be required to purchase or have access to persona) computers for Fall semester. 1994, The official voice for this committee is the Information Exchange news­ letter.

The committee consists of five sub­ groups: curriculum, administration, technol­ ogy/instructional support, alumni/business community and the student subgroup. 36 members. Each subgroup was asked to present concerns on this issue. It was interesting to see how much was common between groups.

J will not explain the student sub­ group position here as it is already summa­ rized ina seven page report, which is available on-line in theTbirds-techsubforumonGCCs Electronic Forum. The issue before us has been phrased in terms of hardware and soft­ ware, but it is really about function and sup­ port The committee discussed whether the requirement would have to be faculty-driven, meaning that computer usage would be inte­ grated to a greater extent in the curriculum before a computer purchase would be neces­ sary. In this case, faculty development would become critical for successful implementa­ tion. On the other hand, would having a computer provide enough utility to the stu- dentto justify its purchase? For this to be true, I believe that it would require z greater invest­ ment in infrastructure, like dial-up access, student E-mail, full Internet access, etc. Progress on this front is constrained by the limited financial and human resources of Computer Services. Unless Tbird is willing to increase the financial and human resources in Computer Services, this project will require a much longer time frame than Fall '94 to implement There is another claim that students will pay for computer resources whether they buy a computer or not It is interesting to note that 65% (1 72) of the Spring '93 Computer Survey respondents said they already own a computer. The ques­ tion then becomes, 'should we lease or buy computer resources? In essence, we already 'tease' access to the computers in the Com­ puter Lab as part of tuition. This argument

fails to recognize that if students are required to have computers, there will not be a reduction in tuition. Of course, you could claim that it would reduce the rate of tuition increases. One committee member said there needs to he a rigid control o\er the

expectation^ of students jsiciPresident Herberger gave a speech

;.; ckintv his purpose in calling this commn- ''.",' >iV set's a v hantic o -inin^ in me nature ot rJik'.innn (rre.iier emphasis i\ bemj placed nil distance learning, where students, livmc :.:: !;orn campus, can nhtair, an education via .iTu.us technologies, such as television or video-v'dn'erencmi;. !n terms of infrastruc­ ture, this change would require access to a broad distribution system, like a cable com­ pany. At the same time. AGS1M is not looking to leading edge technologies, rather the emphasis is on identifying long-term tech­ nological trends to satisfy these goals. In­ creasing the number of support personnel was also not seen as feasible, given the present finances. He emphasized that students need to be able to navigate the information highway.

When asked why ihe issue of stu­ dent purchase of computers was chosen as the initial issue of the committee. Herberger replied with two reasons: to reduce the finan- ciul burden cf continuously |tn*Y*w*^'n° *^y computer lab hardware and software (revolv­ ing capital expenditures) and to create a more technologically flexible environment

In the afternoon the committee fo­ cused on listing the pros, cons, required infra­ structure, and additional information needs. After this, the committee reached a consensus that it would not be possible to require stu­ dents to purchase computers for the Fall se­ mester 1994, due to the lack of infrastructure. The committee will continue todevelopaplan for implementation over a longer time frame.

Trying to keep in mind the above comment about expectations. I will try to describe what seems to be a reasonable sce­ nario. Notebook computers (IBM or Mac) with a fax/modem could be recommended, provided there is dial-up access to the net­ work. ThenetworkcouldprovideaccesstoE- mail, the library (CARL and possibly CD- ROMs). Gopher and FTP. The main function would be information retrieval and communi­ cation from home. The computer lab would exist primarily for printing purposes. They would allow notebooks to plug into the print­ ers directly, but not the network. Software would be recommended, but students could choose their software, which would reside on their notebook hard disk. Computer Services would eventually reduce the number of lab computers as more students used their note­ books for classes. Ibelievethisglimpsetothe Committee gives insight j.:to some of the facets of the issue. The next article will return to Part 2 of the information highway.

nf the upcoming accreditation

A four-person evaluation team, repre­ senting the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business

(AACSB). will visit Thunderbird on Febru­ ary 21-22 for the purpose of determining whether the School shall receive AACSB accreditation.

Because of revised accreditation standards recently developed by the AACSB. this is the first time Thunderbird has been eligible for AACSB accreditation, and the school is expected to be a landmark case for the organization.

The team will be examining Thunderbird's performance ;ind continuous quality improvement in MX specific areas: Mission and Objectives Faculty Composition OJHJ Development Curriculum Content and EvaJuation Instructional Resources and Responsibility Students (including alumni and career services)

Intellectual ContributionsNo specific agenda has been se! for

the visit, but the evaluation team can be ex­ pected to sit in on classes, visit with students and faculty, and examine documentation. Members of the team include ihree deans of other colleges of business and one industry representative Members are David Bess. University of Hawaii. Chair. George Burman. Syracuse University. Advisor: John M Ivancevich, University of Houston; and Jeff .Shcniian. Mjiugt'i nf Ijiijilosuicn!. Krati

General Foods.Thunderbird has long been accred­

ited by the North Central Association, the primary body that grants accreditation to most collese-- and universities in its region Thun­ derbird has not. however, been eligible for accreditation by the AACSB because of its language and international studies compo­ nents, w hich have been outside the purview of AACSB

Until recently, the AACSB business master" s degree accreditation rules pertained solely to MBA programs. A school such as Thunderbird that offers an interdisciplinary degree w as not elip We for accreditation, which was then based on a set of specific course work the M.B.A.

Under a complete revision of its accreditation standards in 1991. the AACSB established new cntena that are based on mission, rather then on a specific curriculum, making Thunderbird eligible for AACSB ac­ creditation.

The initial documents in preparation for accreditation review, w ere submi rted to the AACSB in September Those included asdf- study that reviewed the school's ability to meet the criteria for evaluation covering the six categories of uctivltv

The documents also included cur­ rent vitae of aJl faculty and appendices sup­ porting several of the points in the self-study All papers are on reserve in the library and may be reviewed by anyone who is interested.

An important element of the ac­ creditation rules is the requirement for con­ tinuous quality improvement. The Thunder- bird sel f-evaluation outlines 22 specificpoints of progress in the institution, which provide ampleevidenceiomeetthecriieria. Thunder- bird is not changing its curriculum nor its degree, but its strategic plan does provide for future improvement in several areas.

Heading the Thunderbird accredita- noii process is Dr. Brian Neuberger. execu-

tive director of strategic planning and adjunct professor of finance. All academic and ad­ ministrative departments were asked to sub­ mit information pertinent to the six catego­ ries Those were then assembled and edited by the Thunderbird Office of Communica­ tion, which prepared the final format.

A decision isexpected at the AACSB annual meeting to be held in April. They could recommend one of three options: 1) Immediate accreditation. 2) Postponement of accreditation to allow the lastiiution to meet certain cntena; or 3) Denial of accreditation. A preliminary visit in October by Dean Bess. committee chairman, provided positive feed­ back, and all indications to date suggest that Thunderbird's will be accredited.

The Thunderbird application is con­ sidered by many to be a history-making case. At the present time, the only accredited busi­ ness master's degrees are MB As, and there are 280 of them, pi us some Master of Accoun­ tancy degrees. If Thunderbird is accredited, it means that an institution could cease to offer the traditional M.B.A. in favor of an innova­ tive master's degree program and still be accredited. It w ould open the doors for inter­ disciplinary programs like a Master of Tour­ ism Management, a Master of Real Estate Management and Development, or a Master of Fine Arts Management

It is conceivable that the result could eventually affect American business, which could be infused with a new breed of manager who complements the traditional MBA gradu­ ate, providing business with the best of many worlds, rather than just one.

TTiunderbtrd'saccreditarioodoesnot automatically guarantee such widespread innovation, however. Colleges of business are bound by decades of tradition, and while the door may be open for such change, it remains for university presidents and busi­ ness college deans to choose the creative route that leads through thai door.

A Distinguished Military Graduate of the Army ROTC he served a tour of duty as a commissioned Second-Lieutenant at "Uncle Ben's Rest Home", a.k.a. Fort Ben­ jamin Harrison, Indiana. After his tour in the Army, he obtained a Doctorate in Business Administration at Indiana University in Bloomington, concentrating in Business Eco­ nomics, Public Poficy, and Finance. The title of his dissertation, "Inducing Socially Desir­ able Mergers: The Potential Role of Minority Interests Protection". This was a hot topic at the time, dealing with anti-trust and merger policy. Upon graduation, he was offered a position as Assistant Professor of Finance at San Diego State University, where he was

-promoted to Full Professor within 5 years.In 1984, he took a leave of absence

from San Diego State University to become tfce Senior Deputy Director of the Federal iUavings and Loan Corporation (FSLJC), where he served two extended stints as its acting Executive Director. In this role, he was re­ sponsible for executing the operating policies and strategies for protecting insured deposits at over 3,200 thrift associations nationwide. At the FSLJC, he had a bird's-eye view of the meltdown of the Savings and Loan Industry, which he attributes to a confluence of forcesranging from the high rate environment of the

early 1980" s to changes in the tax-laws affect­ ing real estate in 198! and 1986. N'euberger was critically involved in working with the Department ofTreasury. Congressional Bank­ ing Committees, and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, in obtai ning passage of the Com­ petitive Equality and Banking Act. This included provisions to raise the SI IB which led to the partial re-capitalization of the Fund in 1987. This action was an attempt to put the fizz back into FSL1C. Due to delays on the pan of Congress and the Thrift Industry, this SUB turned out to be grossly inadequate.

Subsequent to this engagement as a political appointee in the Reagan Administra­ tion. Neuberger served as a consultant in Texas, providing advice to potential buyers of failed Thrifts. In 1989. he accepted a posi­ tion as Executive Director of Western Sav­ ings and Loan Association in Phoenix, where he gained additional expertise in "workouts" and "cram-downs". One of his major respon­ sibilities included Strategic Planning, which involved regulator) affairs, restructuring. chairing th? x*s?t'!i2btlitv cf»mmif!ee, and looking for alternative sources of funds for recapitalizing the institution. At Western Savings and Loan, he met Dr. Roy Herberger. a member of the Advisory Board of the insol­ vent S6B Thrift. The management team prepared the Thrift for takeover by the newly created Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC). established to deal with the macro-failure of the Thrift Industry. In 1990. Neuberger was invited to Thunderbird to teach Finance on a pan-time basis. Since 1992 he has directed the AACSB Accreditation process. He has also been instrumental in the planning and execution of Thunderbird's Strategic Plan. One of its goals is to be recogni?ed as the best international business school in the world.

Up-front and personal, when you ask Neuberger a question, it's down with the briefcase, up with the knee, and everything you want to know. I recently caught up with him to ask him -some questions about Money and Banking, the FSLJC, Workouts, and Stra­ tegic Planning.What do you want to teach your students in Money and Banking?

The class provides students with an opportunity to make banking-related deci­ sions on a nearreal-time basis, and gives them experience in managing a financial portfolio in a competitive environment. Students are responsible for an independent research project which involves doing in-depth re­ search on recent changes in the Banking Industry, for example: How do Banks mea­ sure and manage their inteiet rate risk? How are institutions coping with changes in com­ petition and in technology? and How do

Banks evaluate credits'7". Students also deal with a variety of bank-related topics such as current banking legislation, rate-risk manage­ ment, financial innovations, and banking op­ portunities in the emerging markets arena. The purpose of this coarse is to build a solid base in preparation for those students inter­ ested in taking the 5000-level International Banking Seminar."Do you have any 'war-stories* from your time at FSLJC?

"In a high-pressure environment, when there is a big problem, it is easy for key- decision makers to engage in self-deniability. deferring the hard problems By definition. almost any crisis could be avoided. Ifmanag- ers wereproactivein solvmgproblems.acrisis would likely never occur. Our political lead­ ers tend to be reactive at best. However, as much as government tends to be criticized, I had the good fonune to be surrounded by lots of bright, honest, hard-working civil servants.

The Savings and Loan mess could have been averted if the FSLIC had been recapitalized earlier for S20-25B rather than the S200B taxpayers now must pay. High interest rates in the 1980's were the root cause of the eventual crisis. Conventional wisdom asserts that greedy, self-dealing men like Michael Milken and Charles Keating were responsible. Out of people taking advantage of this S200B gift, perhaps 4% of the losses could be associated with individuals actively engaged in fraud and self-dealing. The truth is. the S&L crisis was primarily due to delay and mediocre law-making. Congress finally passedFIRREA.andcreated the RTC in 1989'. resulting in a "national temper tantrum".

High interest rates of theearly 19SO's generated huge losses, which depleted the capital base of the Thrift industry. Borrowing short, lending long, everyone assumed up­ ward sloping yield curves. This was an erro­ neous assumption. Volclcer took action to tighten money supply, inverted theyieldcurve, short term rates became higher than long-term rates, and Thrifts ended up with under-water loan ponfolios. Congress enacted legislation in 1989, mainly todeflect criticism fromthem- selves. It is no doubt there were bad apples [Keating et a!.], but they were relatively few. compared to those creating the real problem." What about Western Savings? Could you tell us about your experience in "work- outs" and "cram-downs?"

"As a professor and a consultant. I always thought that Mergers and Acquisitions was where all the exciting action existed in Finance. However, due to my work with fail­ ing and failed organizations. I have found failure, bankruptcy, and subsequent reorgani­ zation opportunities to be the most interesting work I've done. This assumes, of course, that

I wasn't the cau« [of the failure]. I enjoy helping both large and small organizations that need restructuring, and in finding feasible ways to maintain an on-going concern. 1 think it is important to help the economy and pre­ serve jobs; there is a social element that can't be ignored. I guess I have become a "crisis junkie". It is an exciting, exhilarating oppor­ tunity to be involved in making a meaningful change Most failures could have been averted if management had been more in tune to the changing environment. One of the things 1 have learned, and this is something I would like to convey to students, is that it is often possible to learn vicariously through others. You have to ask "What caused the failure?" Invariably, it could have been averted by a more timely restructuring or reorganization. Failure gets short shrift in most business pro­ grams because the mentality is. "Our gradu- atesaren'tgoingtobeinvolvedinfailure.'' As the saying goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." You have to be attuned to these ideas. In litigation support work, which is something I practice on the side, the consulting includes such things as projections, feasibility studies, and valuation analysis for such concerns as Public Account­ ing and Law Firms. As the old Kenny Rogers ballad goes: 'You've got to know when to hold 'em and know, when to fold 'em'. Fi- naiiy. >ou have ;o strive is be :nsch rncre proactive in regard to external events." What do you enjoy the most In your posi­ tion as Executive Director of Strategic Plan­ ning for Thunderbird?

"What I've enjoyed most is the op­ portunity to work with many fine people fora common goal, that is. to achieve world-wide recognition of Thunderbird as the best gradu­ ate school of international management. It has been rewarding to work with the students, faculty.administrators.employers and alumni, to helpthe School achieve our mission-linked standards of the AACSB. to work with people who have the K>t interests ot the institutional heart. 1 have enjoyed being involved in coor­ dinating the strategic plan and the pnonnzanon of the annual budgetary process, continuous quality improvement goals at the school and in the MI.M curriculum, enhancing faculty development, and increasing student qualifi­ cations. It is important that Thunderbird provide the most employable student pos­ sible, and gives a substantial value-added for the student who has sacrificed both time and money to obtain an MIM at Thunderbtrd." What is your parting-shot?

"Never be complacent in making change when adjustments are necessary. As change agents, one of our jobs should be to understand why there are those who resist change, which makes communication that much more important. Our goal should be always be to enhance communication be­ tween the students, the faculty and the admin- istration, as well as the other stakeholders, so they can understand the need for change and why it is happening."

INTERSECTIONMovie Review

. noxMi ,i director other than \!;irk R'.JcO >> .iireci "Intersection." a recent reie;ise ^lamrh' sharon Stone. Richard Gere .inu l.oi::;: :)aMUt". ich The plot ot" "Intersection" a bizarre lo\ eat fair between an architect i Gere). his ex-\vjfe (Stone) and his mistress 'Davidovich) would have been one of this year's hottest romances if the execution had been better. Rob Vemhoeven (Basic Instinct) could have made "Intersection" a number one box office hit.

Starring a not-so-sexy-anymore Ri­ chard Gere (maybe Cindy's totaJ body work- out is not that good after all! as the main character, the movie is a rather poor remake of the 1970 French film. "Us Choses de la View."

Vincent (Gere) is torn between his cold but very successful ex-wife Sally and his passionate mistress. He left his wife physi- cally.butcannotletgoofhermentally. Though "Intersection" tries to deal realistically with the problems of a man who can' t even commit to non-committal, it uses too many cliches and stereotypes to do so.

Of course Sally is blond, blue-eyed and her sexual repression equals her corporate success. Needless to say. Olivia, the fiery mistress, is red-haired, green-eyed and most likely Irish. The movie lacks originality since it uses many elements introduced in other films. Is it a coincidence that Gere is a sensitive architect, just like Tom Hanks in "Sleepless in Seattle" and Woody Harrelson in "Indecent Proposal"?

According to Davidovich (Blaze. Leaf of Faith) who played Olivia only after Stone opted for the ex-wife, her character is "just a normal, divorced writer who falls in love at first sight." That is where the trouble begins.

Themostpositiveaspectofthe movie is its end, which is definitely the most twisted and fascinating since "Somersby." However, the last five minutes do not compensate for the film's overall shortcomings.

My advice: Wait until it gets to the SI movies. It probably won't be long.

What Is QMS?by Joe Wood

QMS stands foraQuality Man­ agement System. This means quality has evolved fromaconcept or procedure, to a system which can be applied to the processes within an organization. In gen­ eral, asystem is a sequential procedure or method of doing something to accom­ plish a specific objective. Systems are used to run businesses everyday. There are many different types of systems and they were all developed to control a process Financial systems, operating systems, ajuj information systems are three common examples.

Quality Management Sys­ tems control the quality of results and assure repeatable quality in products or sen-ices, QMSs help to identify prob­ lems, often before they occur, so they can be dealt with as quickly as possible. Hopefully, this will enable a manager to spend more of his time managing and contributing to the value of the product, instead of spending his time "putting out fires".

So why should all this matteno you? In the last decade. QMSs have become wcreasinglypopulararnongcorn- panies all over the world as means of controlling errors from purchasing to production to public relations. There is no area or department within an organi­ zation that cannot be improved through the proper implementation of a QMS.

NOW are you more interested? Whether you work in a Total Quality Management or Malcolm Baldrige envi­ ronment, or within an ISO administered program, many of the concepts are iden­ tical Forexample, the Malcolm Baldrige program has ten core values and con­ cepts upon which it is based, and many arc interchangeable with principles used by other QMSs. Ideas like customer- driven quality, continuous improvement, full participation, and long-range out­ look are essential to any QMS*.

Again, why should you want to know about quality management sys­ tems? Because they are becoming in­ creasingly necessary in order to compete in a global environment. If your organi­ zation has such a program, your knowl­ edge will enhance it If yourorganization doesn't have one, it will probably need one soon, and your knowledge could be a factor in the advancement of your ca­ reer. Either way, you'll come out the winner.

nOTAEHHUE COKPOBHI5AUnique Art Exhibit Highlights Lo­ cal Russian Cultural Festivalhy Michael OakesHidden Treasures: Russian and Soviet Im­ pressionism 1930- 70s

Fleischer Museum, Scottsdale

1 was initially and overwhelmingly struck by the power and beauty of this collec­ tion of Russian and Soviet impressionist works assembled for this one-time exhibit. The quality of the art itself transcends am political message, which is w»hat had originally at­ tracted me to the exhibit.

"For more than forty years." the museum brochureexplajns. "the Soviet Union commissioned its preeminent artists to create en canvas the Utopia they believed Commu­ nism would achieve." The exhibit is referred to as "Hidden Treasures" because these nch works were hidden from Western eyes until Mikhail Gorbachev lifted the Iron Curtain.

The life they conveyed was one of hard work, strength and sacrifice for the moth­ erland. The artists portray not the life of the bourgeoisie middle-class like their counter­ parts in French impressionism, but. these So­ viet artists chose as their subject the young heroes of labor, the steelworkers. communal farmers, roadworkers and milkmaids. Other scenes include cityscapes. factories draped in unrealistically white snow, and one small portrait of Stalin in deathly repose. (This, by the way, was only one of two portraits of Stalin allowed after his death.) Although the workers glorified in these pieces are more often than not women (in this sense the com­ munist system might be considered progres­ sive). Soviet impressionism i>decidedly more masculine than the French -.nte. more ngur- ous. rough and severe."

These artists were well-trained and well-taken care of craftsmen. Specially cho­ sen at a young age for their natural talent, they went through years of rigorous, subsidized training to become artists working in an envi­ ronment that ironically disavowed and often punished artistic freedom. Yet as our guide explained, most ol these artists truly believed in the Utopia which they idealized on canvas. Theirworkwastheircontnbutioniothecau.se. and their honesty cannot be mistaken in many

of these pieces.Their works are rich in light and

color and energy, their drab subjects shown in idealistically optimistic hues. Many of the artists utilized a special pink powder to. as they say, "paint a rosy picture" of life in the factory and on the farm. Sunlight illuminates the factories and agricultural products such as apples and tomatoes are highlighted by some of the brightest colors to be found in the collection.

A Sunnv Day bv Mai Dantsig is one of the largest and most aggressive pieces of the collection and serves as a powerful center­ piece for the exhibition. It depicts the female defender of Russia, her combat boots and strong legs set firmly on the soil, her arms outstretched victoriously, seemingly to thrust through broken rays of light like shards of

8a« Jor Team XLIII inher­ ited a problem this semester an out­ standing S7000 debt to the Adminis­ tration, a broken printer, and a semes­ ter 's worth of unpaid printing bills. Because of the broken printer, invoices weren't sent out for the last two Fall issues. Hmm...

By shopping around, and some shrewd negotiating by Cheenu, our Financial Manager. printing costs were cut by 33'*. At the same time, we increased the number of pages from eight to twelve. This means we're getting more for less. The printer has been fixed, and the invoices have been sent out. Most importantly. Carlo, our Advertising Manager has increased sales by 301*- in the past three weeks.

With these positive steps, the dedication of Ba» lor Team XL1II. and all those who have helped with their significant contributions, we believe we are on the right track. We would like to solve this problem, but it will probably take more than one se­ mester.

Advertising revenues are cru­ cial to the success of our plan. When you visit an establishment which ad­ vertises in Has Jor, please tell the owner that you saw their ad in the paper: it is important. There is a synergy and sense of coming together this semester that is almost tangible.

Letters to the Editor

From time 10 time, we all find the occasion 10 level criticism at the policies and practices of this institution. Frequently, it is well deserved. Today, however. I would like to take a moment to point out arecent decision that has had a positive impact on all of us.

For those who have come to dread the registration process (just about everyone). Mr. David Van Ness is a welcome addition to the Thunderbird administrative staff. While he inherited an archaic system for graduate- level registration that still haunts us all, Mr. Van Ness is to be commended for what he's

| managed to accomplish in his short tenure here.

Mr. Van Ness is a refreshing change from what might fairly be described as a do- nothing-unless-we-have-the-studem-by-the-

I throat attitude previous!) exhibited. He has quickly demonstrated thai even with an anti­ quated system, the registration process can be earned out with a sense of flexibility and service. Most importantly, he conveys the sense that wereally are individuals with unique scheduling concerns.

To the Editor:

1 want to respond 10 Rav Jansens' well researchedandhighly informative article that appeared in last weeks Das lor. The writer spoke about issues that were greater than the name change that I had proposed. Had our concerned writer bothered to scratch below the surface, he would have found out the following:1. Accreditation: This is in the final stages of decision making. We have invited Dr. Herbergertocome talk to the students through the ASLC. Accreditation is at its final stage. To be more precise we will be having on campus the 21st and 22nd of February four members of the accreditation team interview­ ing people at different levels.2. InternshipcostrReducingthe cost has been approved at all levels except the faculty sen­ ate. During my meeting with Dr. Herberger. this issue too was discussed. He assured me of

his full support and mentioned that he was not anticipating any problems regarding its ap­ proval.3. Lower tuition rates for Tbird graduates: Again, we have been pursuing this issue and again, I brought it up with Dr. Herberger who expects it to be in place at the end of this semester. The only reason why it has not yet been implemented is because the administra­ tion is still working on the logistics.4. Computer/Laser Printer/software: If the writer has not been to the computer lab lately. he w-ill be surprised when he does to find that there is a laser printer at even station in the main room. This is a major improvement from the previous semester where there were only a couple of laser primers at the computer lab"

5. The new weight room/fitness center: Again, we have been pursuing this issue. But for the writers sake, let me again point out that the only reason the new weight room was not in place by February 1 s: is not because of admin­ istration red tape or lack of initiative. Rather it is because the City of Glendale torpedoed the original plans and put high safety mea­ surement as a requirement thereby not only- delaying the project but also increasing the cost. The administration has set aside S100.000

The issue was actually debated at the last ASLC meeting and had the concerned writer anended or read the minutes, he would have known where the status stood. A final deci­ sion regarding this issue will be discussed at our next ASLC meeting.

Finally, while thanking the writer for his concern regarding the ASLC. I would like to remind him that as student president, my job is to address student concerns, be they about accreditation, weight room or as the writer seems to think trivial issues such as changing the name of the student govern­ ment. I started the initiative to change the name K'CmiM.' students asked for the change. There is no cost involved in the name change for we will use up all our stationery until it runs out before ordering new ones. In the future. I encourage the writer todiscuss with me orany ASLC member issues that are of concern to you.

STUDENTS VIOLATE HONOR CODE! Career Services is working very hard to pro­ vide the latest and best information available to help students and alumni achieve their employment goals. Unfortunately, some job

seekers are blatantly violating the honor code by stealing information from the CSC Li­ brary. CSC staff must spend several hours each day replacing stolen job and internship postings. Recently, the U.S. West informa­ tion binder was taken. Hopefully it will be returned. Stolen material does more thai waste valuable staff time; it can also prevent other students from learning about employ­ ment opportunities. Just because the new copier may be out of paper, out of toner, or just out of touch, that does not give someone the right to violate the honor code by stealing CSC material and possibly jeopardizing fel­ low students' career opportunities! If you have a problem with the copier, tell a staff member. Unfortunately, the misconduct of a few students may force the CSC library to implement stricter controls that will lower the level of service available to students and alumni.Sam Rosenbalm CSC Librarv volunteer

reeds, and words

For Valentine's day. it seemed appropriate to write something... romantic, so here's a translation of a poem from Guillaume AppoUinaire's Alcools. In translating. I'll try to capture the spirit rather than the letter of the poem because "with fidelity, there's no beauty, without fidelity, there is (beauty|."

Et vous cils-roseaux. qui vous mirezDans 1'eau profonde et claire de ses regards.Roseaux discrets, plus eloquents que des penseurs humains.6 cils-penscurs. penches au-dessus des abimes.

And you eyelashes-reeds, casting reflections, in the deep, clear waters of her gaze. Discrete reeds, more eloquent than human thinkers. 0 thinking reeds, bent over abysses.

"Huh?", you are probably saying. What's romantic about that? Yea. right. If you don't get it after the first reading, that's OK; you need the following keys to understand (the epiphany of the serroosis)

Key #/: In Mediriations. Blaise Pascal wrote:

- "L'homme est un roseau. mais un roseau peasant, et le plus fragile de toos."

"Man is a reed, but a thinking reed, and the most fragile of all."

- "Le silence etemel des espaces infinis m'effaue."

"The eternal silence of infinite spaces scares me to death."

Key #2: In Greek mythology. King Midas was granted the wish that everything he touched should turn to gold. Midas was walking by a lake when he removed his crown, revealing donkey ears, symbolizing bis stupidity. The reeds in the lake saw Midas' donkey ears, and they spread the gossip whenever the wind would Wow. They were indiscrete reeds.

AppoUirauiecornpareseyelasrjestoreeds,reflectir^inthewornan'seyesihe way reeds reflect in the "deep, dear waters" of a lake. "Discrete reeds", as opposed to indiscrete reeds, is a creative juxtaposition which implies that the woman knows of the poet's faults, but chooses to overlook them. Therefore her look is "more eloquent than human thinkers": it is an "eloquent silence". "Bent over abysses reinforces the idea of man's mortality by reminding us of the "eternal silence of infinite spaces" which horrified Pascal. It also evokes imagery of eyelashes and the eye's pupil, the window to me soul.

to other words... sometimes you can say more with a look than you can with words.

So...on this Saint Valentine's Day, if you see someone you like looking at you, just recite this poem, or don't say anything at all.

They say our little friend cuptd is a Wind archer. I tend to agree, to fact DOC only is be Mind but this chubby little cherub shoots his little magic darts in random devi­ ous directions. The sting of his arrows have

| been reported to the school nurse by students and faculty alike. Has he no respect? Doesn't he understand that there is no time for his trivial game in an institution ofhigher learning like Thunderbird? But. like the mischievous magician that he is. he ignores the net present value of future cash flows resulting from studi­

ous behavior, and distracts us with giddy emotion. He would rather see you swooning over the sultry so-

and-so in your statistics class. (You know the one who sits in front of you.) Suddenly your attention for them falls

three standard deviations from the mean. But probability dictates that all you will gain is a greater understanding of the back of their bead, and a trip back to the middle of the bell curve. But love is a non-linear phenomenon, making it extremely hard topredict. There are far too many variables involved. This may help explain why it is impossible to determine its correlation with your best interests using an HP17B.

Cupid lives off the commissions of love brokering. His return is guaranteed when he invests in our emotions. Springtime at the love exchange is a historically volatile period So you are going to need some powerful tools to keep the level of risk in line with your appetite.

Beta is a measure of risk for an individual investment It may also be used to express the level of risk on a portfolio. Generally a well diversified portfolio has a tower Beta than investments in individual securities. But with love, things are a link different. The level of risk (P) increases when we try to diversify. Investing all our assets in a single stock seems the safest bet. The indication here is to try the master Beta before you get too heavily into a risky portfolio. It could be your only defense agaiast me random walk that you could take if Cupid should get you with one of his link arrows.

m -Has lor Team XLHI inher­

ited a problem this semester an out­ standing S7000 debt to the Adminis­ tration, a broken printer, and a semes­ ter 's worth of unpaid printing hills. Because of the broken printer, invoices weren't sent out for the last two Fall issues. Hmm...

By shopping around, and some shrewd negotiating by Cheenu, our Financial Manager, pnniing costs were cut by 33%. Atthe same ti me, we increased the number of pages from eight to twelve. This me:ins we're getting more for less. The printer has been fixed, and the invoices have been sent out. Most importantly. Carlo, our Advertising Manager has increased sales by 3(Kf in the past three weeks.

With these positive steps, the dedication of Ba» JOT Team XLIII, and all those who have helped with their significant contribuiions. we bciieve we are on the right track. We would like to solve this problem, but it will probably take more than one se­ mester.

Advertising revenues are cru­ cial to the success of our plan. When you visit an establishment which ad­ vertises in Ifos Cor, please tell the owner that you saw their ad in the paper, it is important. There is a synergy and sense of coming together this semester that is almost tangible.

! think we can do it.

Letters to the Editor

From time to time, we all find the occasion to level criticism at the policies and practices of this iastitution. Frequently, it is well deserved. Today, however, I would like to take a moment to point out a recent decision that has had a positive impact on all of us.

For those who have come to dread the registration process (just about everyone). Mr. David Van Ness is a welcome addition to the Thunderbird administrative staff. While he inherited an archaic system for graduate- level registration that still haunts us all. Mr. Van Ness is to be commended for what he's managed 10 accomplish in his short tenure here.

Mr. Van Ness is a refreshing change from what might fairly be described as a do- nothing-unless-we-have-thc-student-by-the- throat attitude previous!) exhibited. He has quickJy demonstrated thai even with an anu- quated system, the registration process can he carried out with a >ense of flexibility and service. Most importantly, he conveys the sea\e that we really are individuals with unique scheduling concerns,

The positive feedback concerning Mr. Van Ness is widespread. Obviously, there are occasions when the decisions a registrar needs to make are less th;in what we as students, collectiu'ly nrmrftvic!u:i!!'.. v. ou!J consider ideal. Still, it is important to send the message to the Administration that we heart­ ily support the addition of Mr. Van Ness and expect that he will receive all the cooperation necessary to carry out his mandate ofbringing our registration process into the twentieth century. We wish him well!
