TAKES FROM: "THSRS ARE MEN TOO GEOTLE TO LIVE AMONG WOLVESby Jaaes Kavanaugh

There are men tcx> gentle to live among wolvesWho prey upon them with IBM eyesAnd sell their hearts and guts for martinis at noon.There are men too gentle for a savage worldWho dream instead of snow and children and HalloweenAnd wonder if the leaves will change their enlor soon.

There are men too gentle to live anong wolvesWho anoint them for burial with greedy clawsAnd murder then for a merchant's profit and gain.There are men too gontle for a corporate worldWho dream instead of candied apples and ferris wheelsAnd pause to hear the distant whistle of a train.

There are men too gentle to live among wolvesWho devour then with eager appetite and searchFor other Ees to prey upon and suck their childhood dry.There are men too gentle for an accountant's worldWho dream instead of Easter eggs and fragrant grassAnd search for beauty in the mystery of the sky.

There are men too gentle to live among wolves Who toss them like a lost and wounded dove. Such gentle men are lonely in a merchant's world, Unless they have a gentle one to love.

A COMMENT ON "SALDTE TO SCHOTT"

I was filled with a sense of disgust at the adolescent tripe which poured out of Mr. Jerry Bednar's "salute to Schott" article in the last edition of Das Tor. We have no need for such preaching and misguided leadership.

Mr. Bednar's remark, in referring to Dr. Schott as "the man (who) dared us to show him some guts" borders on the ludicrous. Mr. Bednar fails to recognize such an obvious defensive tactic. The Administration unethically cancelled the summer session in August, after many of us were already committed to entering Thunderbird. Now they are trying to put the onus on the student body to show cause why there should be a summer session. It's an old bureaucratic trick. And people like Mr. Bednar are falling for it. We should be demanding that the Administration fulfill the school's commitment, not filling out silly and verbose questionnaires.

In characterizing the present generation of college students as "barefoot babes from toy land," Mr. Bodnar adds insult to incompetence. Regardless of political be­ lief, one must respect the social and political awareness of a generation teethed on Vietnam, Selma, Kent State, and the Peace Corps.

Mr. Bednar's attitude is entirely inappropriate in the present situation. We require leaders who are in tune with their generation, who recognize social needs and rights and who will stand up for them. We have no need of obsequious, adoles­ cent tailwagging. This is 1970, Mr. Bednar, not 1350. For such a "budding young adman, I would recommend a position on Spiro Agnew's specchwriting staff.

AJf OPEN LETTER TOJN IjSTROCTOR:

We have just taken your first exam and, quite frankly, our heads are spinning. Yes - we did come here to learn about several areas of business. One of the princi­ ples of decisionmaking on the spur-ol-the-moment is the requirement for a solid foundation of facts. Should not basic foundations then govern testing at this stage, not snap-Judgements? Maybe we are not as sharp as those whizzez who took the test in 22 minutes, but then, why are we not allowed to demonstrate a measure of

-2-

academio knowledge of our own? Perhaps; however, the Batter of timeliness night have related to the way in which the questions were phrased. A couple of examples:

1. Which of the following is not true?a) ...b) ...c) ...d) All the above are true. (Answer)

2. Which of the following is not a disadvantage.....?And then, what of those questions on material not covered? Might we most respect­ fully ask that you recognize us as adults who have had some business experience, that you display a more cheerful countenance in the classroom, and that you understand that we do seriously want to learn and are not being hostile? In closing - eren if we could drop the class as you suggested, we paid no small sum to cone here. Con­ sequently, we feel it is our concern to make that decision.

THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE Part V

WHAT WE AS INDIVIDUALS CAN DO:

We have reached a plateau in the discussion of the Environment, and it is tune to bring the topic down to earth. We can waste no more tine with the history or academics of the problem, but must fora some type of positive strategy to deal with our surroundings. I suggest that our strategy be divided in the following manner: Call pertaining to me, myself, and I)

1. my personal habits2. my personal community3. my educational background4. my business endeavor5. my local governmentG. my Federal governmentPart one is the basis for all the rest of the points. We must decide the

strategy that is best suited for ourselves, attainable, but most importantly, worth­ while. This is bound to mean personal sacrifice, but that is the name of the game for everyone. Once your goals are set and the strategy devised, then expand to point two. If your example in your community is not enough, then organize your friends and make those examples known.

Demand that you recieve some relevant answers to questions on environmental problems in your classes. It won't be long until you might be held responsible for some answers from your employer concerning what the company should do about its harm­ ful products. Ask the recruiters what their company is doing about its problems. Make sure you get some straight answers.

By now you should be used to writing letters. It never hurt anyone to drop his city, state, or federal representative a line asking about the environmental problem. Try to include some examples of polluters in the area and ask for action to be taken.

So much for the general. Ifovember 7, 8, and 3, Mr. Wilkenson will be on cam­ pus to speak about Environmental Design. I strongly urge that everyone attend. He should be able to enlighten you in many different ways. Or do what Walt Reiner did after reading an article in the October 18 issue of the Arizona Republic- The ar­ ticle was about the effort Mr. Sfetthew Meselson, a biologist at Harvard, was making to dertermine the long-range effects of extensive herbicide spraying in Vietnam. The nan has received $80,000 for a study on the problem from the American Associa­ tion for the Advancement of Science, but has been denied the right to research the areas in Vietnam. Walt has taken upon himself, to help Professor Meselson by writ­ ing Mm a letter and including the reasons he could be of assistance. What have you done recently?

In the reading list I gave you in the beginning of this series, was a listing of positive actions that could be taken by individuals. I would like to list some of them as a help to you to form your strategy.

1. Join soae Environmental Group. Remember there is strength in numbers, but more importantly, it takes many heads to keep up on the changes that are occuring daily. May I suggest that you join the club being formed on our campus? The first meeting of the Environmental studies Committee will be held Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in the SAC office. A permanent meeting time will be set then. November 3.

2. Buy returnable bottles of mi Ik,pop, beer, etc. and then return them. Use cloth napkins, towels, tablecloths, placemats, diapers. Use a nylon carrier for groceries rather than paper bags. Carry a lunch box. Share magazine subscriptions. Return newspaper to paper companies, aluminum cans to aluminum companies,etc. Use detergents that are low in phosphate content such as Best Line (thanks Laure Chirol), Ivory Snow, or Lux. Avoid Shell "No-Pest strips", and wash or peel all fruits. Con-

-3-

serve on the aaount of electricity that you mist use.3. Pick a dirty countryside and clean it up. Picket stores that will not co­

operate with your efforts. Save one weeks packaging that you are left to dispose of, and take it back to the store and ask then to get rid of their own junk.

4. Walk whenever you can. Share turns to drive with others, and cut down on the numbers of cars being driven.

These are just a few suggestions that you and I can do right now. For our- sakes, do something. Uy strategy is set, is yours?

THZ HIM - ONLY FOR DEADBZATS?

For the past several weeks, those of us who toil in the SAC offices have heard constant references to the third senester students as "deadbeats." This comment has come most often from first semester fellows. Since the movement of the School is towards that of granting only master's degrees, it seems silly to be undercutting ourselves. We looked into the sources of equation of master's degree students with deadbeats and have found that the source is all pervasive. It cones from teachers, administration people (other than new), and from many of the staff workers. It seens to also arise from students not too happy with the new direction.

If we are to become a graduate school, in fact, as well as name, it seems only logical that the attitude that is communicated to ourselves and to outsiders should be one that it consistant with aad supportive of that goal. It is difficult to see how we can expect others to respect our master's degree if the undercutting begins at home.

A BPSY WEEK FOR SAM

This is a very busy time of the year for nearly everyone at Thunderbird and the Society for Advancement of Management (SAM) is no exception.

Next week marks the beginning of the final member ship drive for the first semester. Membership chairman, Mariano Martinez, has organized a personalized, dooi- to-door drive with SAM members taking the "SAM message" to th'e Thunderbird consnjni ty. If a SAMer gets a chance to visit with you in the next few weeks, don't miss this opportunity to become involved in this practical, professional management organiza­ tion. The apex of the campaign will be on Wednesday, November 3, at 3:30 p.m., in the Thunderbird Room, when the film, "The Jfcture of L&nagement," with Lawrence A. Appley, President of the American Management Association, will be shown to all in­ terested students and faculty.

Chris Bilby, Director of Programs for Thunderbird SAM-International, announced the film as the first in a series of eight films entitled "The Basic Principles of Supervisory Management." The films will be shown weekly and will discuss the es­ sential management functions.

The Executive Right Arm of SAM (ERA) will present Moses and Lois Harris of Liberia, Africa, speaking on the economic and cultural aspects of Liberia. Moses has degrees in Forestry and Economics and has worked two years in the Bureau of General Accounting in Liberia. Lois has her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Elementary Education and has spent three years in Liberia with the Peace Corps. Slides will be presented and all Thunderbird students and faculty ore invited. The program will be held in the Thunderbird Room on Thursday, November 5, at 7 p.m.

AIT OPEN LETTER TO THE STODSST BODY:

It is indeed unfortunate that the task of trying to get a summer semester this year has fallen to an obviously irresponsible person. Often a very good cause is defeated because of its leaders. This could well be a similar case.

Last Thursday, in what used to be the old study hall of the hangar, about 8 or 2 persons were asscmblied to discuss what was to be a questionnaire that would hope­ fully ascertain the information needed for the existence of a summer semester this year. Included in this group were Tom Nbrton, a person partially responsible for obtaining 175 names on a petition to support this summer semester. Also at this meeting were Mike O'Shaughnessy, the Vice-President of SAC, and myself, both as in­ terested parties and a representative of the very class that is to be affected by the move to eliminate the summer session. Enter Jerry Bednar. Jerry had with him

-4-

a copy of a "first draft" of the questionnaire. After a reading of this first draft, it was agreed upon by those present that it was both lengthy and somewhat ambigioas. Jerry then proceeded to read it again, question by question. Not one of his origi­ nal questions was left in in original form, and we had hoped that he was narkiag down the corrections and suggestions we were giving him. He nodded agreement. He said that he would change and shorten then. He didn't.' He told us that there would be no cute and snide statements in the questionnaire. He Bade them anyway.'

Some of us even thought that the 2 tours tiae spent at that meeting was of some value. Some of us were soon to find out that oar tine was wasted.

To make natters worse, Jerry then has the mo^y to write sone more of that *?©¥$ in the caapus rag. You know, Jerry, your article was the one that put an end to "the kindergarten carping which has characterized sxacfa of the content of this paper for the past six weeks." Again I say B t.' If you wrote as well as Mongoose then maybe you could make such statements, but not until tfcat tine. Its debatable whether that tine has come.

Jerry, not satisfied, went on to note that "soaetine next week we have the honor of presenting our case to the envied establishment." What envied establish­ ment? Those terms went out 5 years ago. Do you nean Drs. Delaney and Schott? Al­ though the students have been less than happy with their methods of communication, they have been, at the very least, decent and fair to those with legitimate problems.

If that weren't enough, Jerry then has the intestinal fortitude to say that "if we are to avoid appearing before them like the barefoot babes from Toyland which characterize this nation's present generation of college children, it might be well for us to be prepared with a few facts." Holy Agnewisia.'" That line is the straw that blew out the flame in ay pipe. Jerry, talk to some of the students here who were maimed in Vietnam, to others about what it was like at Berkeley, and maybe you will see that your statement is highly debateableT" Ask me what the freedom rides of 64 were like or what Andy Goodman's mother felt when her son was killed. Ask people accidently caught in the police raids at Columbia. If these people could be called children, then you look at things a whole lot differently than I do.

An article as absurd as yours would not be complete without the last final swipe at the faculty. I quote:"And it will also be good to know which faculty mem­ bers see this air base as a cushy way to ride out their retirement in balmy Arizona instead of as the vehicle from which they can ic^art a special spin of their own to a host of young men and women on the make as they start out into our expanding world on untried trajectori." What the Hell does that mean? Does that mean if a man chooses not to teach during a summer session, he is no good? I can't believe that is your belief, your verbosity is so good that it has hidden the point of your statement.

To cap it off, you must use the hackneyed expression, "Fletcher Boys." I think that sufficient time has elapsed so that the students now know where the influence of this administration lies...at Thunderbird and not Fletcher, and they nay now be called "Thunderbird Boys."

I would be the last person in the world to be defending the establishment - ex­ cept when they have been right or accused unjustly. In these days when the school is going through a major upheaval, it is not so important to take sides as to keep open the lines between the different segments. Articles like Jerry Bednar's can serve no cohesive purpose when it inrults those it seeks to represent, anmely the students.

PRgSIDEIg'S LATE CORICR

Before I lose yoor attention I want to let you know about five events: Monte Carlo night, an environmental program, three cent xerox copies, summer school am! student body elections.

Halloween night, a consortium of clubs and miscellaneous students under the direction of ace proaoter Bill Byan, brings you a party that includes dinner, drinks and numerous games of chance. You owe it to yourself to attend.

Hie following weekend the Programs committee will present a series of seminars on environmental problems featuring numerous interested local parties and Professor Wilkinson of jforth Carolina State, one of the most respected men in his field. Dis­ cussion panels will include students who contact the Programs committee. An outline of the topics, suggested readings and a schedule of events will be placed in the student mail boxes.

You may wish to take advantage of the fact that the price of xeroxing anything is now a flat three cents per copy. This reduction was made possible through exten­ sive research by the Finance committee.

Zfforts are being made by interested students to arrange a summer school ses­ sion for 1971. A great deal of cooperation among students, faculty and administra­ tion is necessary to bring this about. If you want it to happen, contact Jerry Bed- nar at 337-0056, or Tom Norton in F-6.

If you would like to test your managerial ability under adverse conditions, run for one of the positions on the Executive Committee of the Student Affairs Coun­ cil. It's the greatest opportunity you have to play an integral part in the change taking place at TGSIM. Petitions requiring 25 signatures are available in the SAC office. They must be turned in by November S. There will be an "Open Forum" on «ove=ber 10 featuring all the candidates, the present officers, and Drs. Delaney and Schott. At that time any subject affecting the direction of the school can be dis­ cussed. Elections will be held November 18.

The rudeness and discourtesy of some students is reaching irritating propor­ tions. This is most evident in the language used in the Post Office and elsewhere. It's uncool to use four letter words in public places. Zrtensions of the problem in the general area of defamation of character and the spreading of unfounded rumors, show a lack of tact and integrity on the part of certain students. The lack of in­ terest in the school's Board of Directors and the state's senators was shortsighted and discourteous.

The SAC organizational chart which follows might be kept for future reference. The committees are open to anyone who would like to work on them. You can greatly influence the function of these committees by contacting the members and giving them your ideas. The asterik signifies the present committee chairman. The Representa­ tives at Large from the three classes have their aames underlined.

We have reached a plateau in the discussion of the Environment, and it is time to bring the topic down to earth.

THZ MEI - ONLY FOR DEADBZATS?

For the past several weeks, those of us who toil in the SAC offices have beard constant references to the third semester students as "deadbeats." This comment has cone most often from first semester fellows. Since the raovenent of the School is towards that of granting only master's degrees, it seems silly to be undercutting ourselves. We looked into the sources of equation of master's degree students with deadbeats ami have found that the source is all pervasive. It cones from teachers, administration people (other than new), and from many of the staff workers. It seems to also arise from students not too happy with the new direction.

If we are to become a graduate school, in fact, as well as name, it seems only logical that the attitude that is communicated to ourselves and to outsiders should be one that it consistant with and supportive of that goal. It is difficult to see how we can expect others to respect our master's degree if the undercutting begins at home.

A BUSY WEEK FOR SAM

This is a very busy time of the year for nearly everyone at Thunderbird and the Society for Advancement of Management (SAM) is no exception.

Nert week marks the beginning of the final member ship drive for the first semester. Membership chairman, Mariano Martinez, has organized a personalised, door- to-door drive with SAM members taking the "SAM message" to the Thunderbird corammity. If a SAMer gets a chance to visit with you in the ne^t few weeks, don't miss this opportunity to become involved in this practical, professional management organiza­ tion. The apex of the campaign will be on Wednesday, November 3, at 3:30 p.m., in the Thunderbird Room, when the film, "The Nature of tSxnagement," with Lawrence A. Appley, President of the American Llanagement Association, will be shown to all in­ terested students and faculty.

Chris Bilby, Director of Programs for Thunderbird SAM-International, announced the film as the first in a series of eight films entitled "The Basic Principles of Supervisory Management." The films will be shown weekly and will discuss the es­ sential management functions.

The Executive Right Arm of SAM (ERA) will present Hoses and Lois Harris of Liberia, Africa, speaking on the economic and cultural aspects of Liberia. Moses has degrees in Forestry and Economics and has worked two years in the Bureau of General Accounting in Liberia. Lois has her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Elementary Education and has spent three years in Liberia with the Peace Cbrps. Slides will be presented and all Thunderbird students and faculty are invited. The program will be held in the Thunderbird Room on Thursday, Jfovember 5, at 7 p.m.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE STODZOT BODY:

It is indeed unfortunate that the task of trying to get a summer 5etnester this year has fallen to an obviously irresponsible person. Often a very good cause is defeated because of its leaders. This could well be a similar case.

Last Thursday, in what used to be the old study hall of the hangar, about 8 or £ persons were asscmblied to discuss what was to be a questionnaire that would hope­ fully ascertain the information needed for the existence of a summer semester this year. Included in this group were Tom Norton, a person partially responsible for obtaining 175 names on a petition to support this summer semester. Also at this meeting were Mike O'Shaughnessy, the Vioe-President of SAC, and myself, both as in­ terested parties and a representative of the very class that is to be affected by the move to eliminate the summer session. Enter Jerry Bednar. Jerry had with him

-4-

a copy of a "first draft" of the questionnaire. After a reading of this first draft, it was agreed upon by those present that it was both lengthy aM soaewhat aniJigious. Jerry then proceeded to read it again, question by question. list one of his origi­ nal questions was left in in original form, ami we had hoped that he was marking down the corrections and suggestions we were giving him. He nodded agreement. He said that he would change and shorten them. He didn't.* He told us that there would be no cute and snide stateneats in the questionnaire. He made thea anyway.1

Some of us even thought that the 2 hours tine spent at that meeting »as of some value. Some of us were soon to find out that our tine was wasted.

To make natters worse, Jerry then has the nosy to write sone more of that *?6#$ in the campus rag. You know, Jerry, your article was the one that put an end to "the kindergarten carping which has characterized much of the content of this paper for the past six weeks." Again I say B t.' If you wrote as well as Mongoose then maybe you could make such statements, but not until tMt tine. Its debatable whether that tine has come.

Jerry, not satisfied, went on to note that "soiaetiae next week we have the honor of presenting our case to the envied establishment. " What envied establish­ ment? Those terms went out 5 years ago. Do you nean Drs. Delaney ami Schott? Al­ though the students have been less than happy with their nethods of connunicatioa, they have been, at the very least, decent and fair to those with legitimate problems.

If that weren't enough, Jerry then has the intestinal fortitude to say that "if we are to avoid appearing before them like the barefoot babes from Toy land which characterize this nation's present generation of college children, it night be well for us to be prepared with a few facts." Holy Agnewism.'.' I That line is the straw that blew out the flame in my pipe. Jerry, talk to some of the students here who were maimed in Vietnam, to others about what it was like at Berkeley, and maybe you will see that your statement is highly debateable. Ask me what the freedom rides of 64 were like or what Andy Goodman's mother felt when her son was killed. Ask people accidently caught in the police raids at Columbia, If these people could be called children, then you look at things a whole lot differently than I do.

An article as absurd as yours would not be complete without the last final swipe at the faculty. I quote:"And it will also be good to know which faculty mem­ bers see this air base as a cushy way to ride out their retirement in balmy Arizona instead of as the vehicle from which they can impart a special spin of their own to a host of young men and women on the make as they start oat into our expanding world on untried trajectori. " What the Hell does that mean? Does that mean if a man chooses not to teach during a summer session, he is no good? I can't believe that is your belief. Your verbosity is so good that it has hidden the point of your statement.

To cap it off, you must use the hackneyed expression, "Fletcher Boys." I think that sufficient time has elapsed so that the students now know where the influence of this^administration lies...at Thunderbird and not Fletcher, and they may now be called "Thunderbird Boys."

I would be the last person in the world to be defending the establishment - ex­ cept when they have been right or accused unjustly. In these days when the school is going through a major upheaval, it is not so important to take sides as to keep open the lines between the different segments. Articles like Jerry Bednar's can serve no cohesive purpose when it insults those it seeks to represent, anmely the students.

PiGSIBEOT'S IATE CORIC5

Before I lose your attention I want to let yon know about five events: Monte Carlo night, an environmental program, three cent xerox copies, sunner school and student body elections,

Balloween night, a consortiiss of clubs and miscellaneous students trader the direction of ace promoter Bill I^yan, brings you a party that includes dinner, drinks and numerous gases of chance. You owe it to yourself to attend.

The following weekend the Programs committee will present a series of seal Bars on environmental problems featuring numerous Interested local parties aad Professor Wilkinson of North Carolina State, one of the most respected Ben in his field. Dis­ cussion panels will include students who contact the Programs cotmittee. An outline of the topics, suggested readings and a schedule of events will be placed in the student sail boxes.

You may wish to take advantage of the fact that the price of xeroxing anything is now a flat three cents per copy. This reduction was made possible through exten­ sive research by the Finance coisnittee.

Efforts are being sade by interested students to arrange a summer school ses­ sion for 1971. A great deal of cooperation among students, faculty and administra­ tion is necessary to bring this about. If you want it to happen, contact Jerry Bed- nar at 337-0056, or Too Iforton in F-6.

If you would like to test your managerial ability under adverse conditions, run for one of the positions on the Executive Committee of the Student Affairs Coun­ cil. It's the greatest opportunity you have to play an integral part in the change taking place at TCSIM, Petitions requiring 25 signatures are available in the SAC office. They oust be turned in by Nbveaber S. There will be an "Open Forum" on November 10 featuring all the candidates, the present officers, and Drs. Delaney and Schott. At that time any subject affecting the direction of the school can be dis­ cussed. Elections will be held l*>vember 18.

The rudeness and discourtesy of sooe students is reaching irritating propor­ tions. This is most evident in the language used in the Post Office and elsewhere. It's uncool to use four letter words in public places. Srtensions of the problem in the general area of defamation of character and the spreading of unfounded rumors, show a lack of tact and integrity on the part of certain students. The lack of in­ terest in the school's Board of Directors and the state's senators was shortsighted and discourteous.

The SAC organizational chart which follows might be kept for future reference. The coaaittees are open to anyone who would like to work on then. You can greatly influence the function of these committees by contacting the members and giving them your ideas. The asterik signifies the present committee chairman. The Representa­ tives at Large from the three classes have their names underlined.
