It's Official, An ROC Exchange ProgramBy Lawrence Kenny

On June 16 Berger Erickson, Ex­ ecutive Vice-President of AGSIM, and Dr. K.W, Mei. President of Tunghai University in The Republic of China, signed an agreement creating an of­ ficial exchange program between the two schools.

Before the ceremony, Marshall Geer. Vice-President of Academic Affairs. explained that, at its maturity, the pro­ gram will be similar to the IIST ex-

iUCh AG-SIM BOW hdSwith the Boeki Kensnu Center in Japan

Tea to fifteen AGSIM students per year will attend Tunghai University in Taiwan, R.O.C., and AGSIM will accept approximately the same number of Tunghai students into its program.

The program was born out of mutual interest. While visiting the R.O.C. last year, Geer toured Tunghai University and signed a "Memorandum of Understanding" with the Tunghai ad­ ministration. This "understanding" set the stage for an official exchange pro­ gram.

Tunghai President K.W. Mei said be recognized AGSIM's "high caliber, ef­ fective administration, experience, and prestige," and felt both schools could benefit from an exchange program. Thus the agreement was born.

As for Tunghai University itself, Mei explained that, "Our reputation is growing in China. For example, next month Tunghai will sponsor an interna­ tional symposium for businessmen that

will include representatives from the entire Pacific Rim area, as week as the United States."

The reason for an exchange program is obvious, Mei said, since, "The world is getting smaller and economic in­ teractions are getting more com­ plicated. We need schools like AGSIM and Tunghai to work as partners in pro­ moting international relations."

Mei added that this partnership will not only benefit the U.S. and the R.O.C.. but the entire world.

He concluded, "We appreciate the chance to have a sister-relationship with AGSIM. This is the first time any university in the R.O.C. has ventured into this area, and we look forward to developing a strong tie with your school."

Although the ceremony was a very formal occassion, Mei's sense of humor was unbridled. He commented that, "American Chinese food has made a lot of progress in the last 10 years."

Then, just before signing the documents, be stopped, looked at the paper, and said, "Wait, let me make sure this is correct 'AGSIM will give Tunghai University a $1,000,000 grant.'"

Immediately after the signing ceremony, Mei said, "Now we'll take this pen back in China and put it in our museum. Let's go to lunch."

The exchange program isn't expected to get underway until the 1982-83 academic year.

It's Formal After AllThe Class of Summer 1981 will wear caps and gowns for the graduation ceremony.

Last week's ASLC referendum saw 57 percent of eligible voters cast ballots, and of that 57 percent, 51 percent voted in favor of caps and gowns.

Since over 50 percent of eligible voters cast ballots, and a majority of mat group voted "Yes," caps and

gowns will be worn by the Summer 1981 graduating class.

For those interested in statistics 51 percent of 57 percent comes out to 29.07 percent, which means that 29 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in favor of caps and gowns, while 27.93 percent (49 percent of 57 percent) voted against the proposal.

The bottom line is: The graduation will be a formal occassion.

Buy Graduation TicketsByCindy Werner

Graduation Party tickets will be on sak July 27-August 4, in the Post Office.

There are two types of tickets available for the party which will be beW at Mountain Shadows Resort: dinner-dance tickets and dance-only tickets.

Dinner-dance tickets will cover the steak dinner and the dance. Dinner is scheduled immediately after gradua­

tion and the dance will begin at approx­ imately 9:30 pm.

The price of the dinner-dance tickets will be Jl 1.50 and can only be bought in advance.

Dance-only tickets will be $3.00 in ad­ vance and $4 at the door. The band will be Sanctuary.

The Graduation Committee urges you to buy your tickets in advance.

Dr. K.W. Mei and Berger Erickson put K in writing, while Tunghai officiate and AGSIM stuklent Jane Fallen look on.

Do It Right, Visit The TropicsWhat do temperatures over 90

degrees at night, an increase in the number of cockroach sitings, and recurring visions of sandy, balmy beaches signal?

They signal a need for a TROPICAL NIGHT!.

On Saturday, July 25th, let the driv­ ing, rythmic beats of Latin, African,

and Brazilian music transform a hum­ drum Phoenician desert night into a steamy Tropical Night. Starting at 9:00 p.m., the Quad will be the jungle scene to inspire you to perspire. A guest ap­ pearance by J. D. Alien and company will add a reggae flavor to highlight the evening.

Editor's BoxIf I were a musician I'd call

it "Interviewing Blues."Last semester I never-got a

cover letter out until two days before the recruiter arrived at AGSIM, so at least I bad an ex­ cuse for sot gutting any job of­ fers. But this is my Third Semester, known ominously as the Semester of Despera­ tion.

This interviewing stuff is losing its thrill. I get up in the morning of The Interview, seriously questionning my validity as a Business Person, wondering about my Purpose to Life, etc. I pick out which suit I'm going to wear. (Lie. I own one suit.) I look in the mirror and wonder (again) if a recruiter will hire someone woo looks like an eighteen year old hippie seriously. Then I jump in my unaircondi- tioned 100,000 mites plus car (yes I need a job) and sweat ail the way to the Placement Center.

Interviews are becoming a blur. Unfortunately I haven't

yet had the chance to get used to flybacks. From what I hear, you only get a flyback if you a I already have a job or b) don't want the job but do want to visit Aunt Mary who lives in the same city.

Fantasy: "We'dlike you to begin working for us in Oc­ tober, after you've bad a chance to relax and do some travelling." Is $28,000 O.K.?

Fear: "Ha-ha. Do you think we'd ever hire some one for a finance job who got that lousy a grade in Intermediate Ac­ counting?"

Hie only positive aspect about interviewing is the per­ vasive sense of togetherness felt by the students involved in interviewing. Far from being backstabbing and maltious. I've found my fellow students to be supportive, sympathetic and encouraging as we go through this demeaning pro­ cess together. And that feeling of community and concern makes the whole hassle a bit easier to handle.

By Sophie Hubault

Violence is spreading all over Great Britain.

Bloody fighting, rioting and widespread property damage have wrecked many cities like London, Liverpool, and Man­ chester.

True, some of the early riots were racially motivated; white youngsters were fighting Blacks, Indians, Pakistanis or West Indians. Lately, though, it is not true.

Black and white young men and women nave united to con-

more Mayor<i

AGSIM and Glendale, ac­ cording to Renner. "The rela- tionship between the school and the city if very good. Glen- dale is a typical Sunbelt city, but it grows a lot faster, and has a younger population, than most other Sunbelt areas."

"Over thenext 10 years, we probably won't match the phenomenal growth 01 the last decade, but we will see growth rates between 60 and 80 per­ cent."

Renner expects the good rapport between Glendale and AGSIM to continue. "I'd like to see the Chamber (Glendale Chamber of Commerce) and Berger (Erickson) get together and develop more in­ formation for foreign students."

The Mayor minks foreign students should take ad­ vantage of the local sites. He mentioned that people travel from all over the United States to see this part of the country, and feels mat foreigners real­ ly miss a big part of America if they don't enjoy what Arizona has to offer.

TropicsCostumes are a must to

authenticate the mood. Go as your favorite Rastifarian, Caribbean, or Hawaiian in­ habitant (Donny and Marie look-alikes?) Or unpack those traditional native costumes from Africa, Central or South America, or the South Pacific. Carmen Miranda look alikes are encouraged to help the California fruit sates. Show off

those suntans! Bring out the feathers and paint! Prizes will

.be awarded for the most original and most traditional costumes.

To quench the thirst of the uninhibited AGSIM natives, free beer, wine, and soda will be served. Ethnic foods will be sold by the native members of OK Portuguese and Spanish Clubs.

Feel the tropical breezes on the cement beach of the AGSIM pool and the salt (or is it Chlorine?) scent of the ocean by the Quad. Under the stars bear the beat, feel the heat and kick up your feet at Tropical Night

This is an unpaid, un­ political party sponsored jointly by the African, Por­ tuguese and Spanish Clubs.

front the police, who represent authority.

There is evidence that out- side agitator's have manipulated these yoang peo­ ple. For example, petrol bombs and radio transmitters have been distributed. Some of the groups implicated were the IRA, the Trotskyites and the National Front.

Of course, Hatcher's critics have blamed her and her policies. Labor Party unions, union officials, and leftists blame the violence on high unemployment, bad bousing, and other social problems.

Campus NotesThere will be a Club Council

Meeting on Thursday, July 30, 1981 for all newly elected Club Representatives. Elections for Club Council President and Vice President will be held.

Dear Iglet

Dear Iglet:

Could you explain to me this sentence taken from the last Das Tor? "Women in Business is open for membership to all Agsim women."

Signed: an Anti-Female Chauvinist Pig

DearAFCP:

It simply means that if you belong to the group that con­ stitutes the 70 percent of the population of this campus, you cannot belong to this honored socfety. Sorry, folks!

Hatcher's harsh economic polices were also attacked. She is not planning to ease her policies nor is she ready touse strong antiriot measures. f^:

V*!!""

We mast admire her courage. I don't believe she should be blamed for the cur­ rent situation. She may not have inspired confidence in the future but blaming the violence on her soda] service cuts is ridiculous. As a matter of fact she has not yet been ante to stow down the size of the puWte sector.

The Labor Party bad its chance to prove itself. The fact that Labor is no longer to power proves that the popula­ tion was not happy with its ac- compiisltsicflts.

Now, the last thing England needs is to see the different parties blaming each other for the present situation. If England wants to regain some of its economic power, a onion of the leaders is required. The Labor Party politics failed. So, why not give a chance to the current government.

Great Britain is suffering from too much taxation, government interference in the private sector, subsMfaa- tion of dying industries, costly and inneffective social pro- grams, and a bullet bureaucracy. Its way out is to let the private sector grow. Therefore the government must stop interfering. It is too easy to, tarn to the govern­ ment and ask for help.

The promise of aiding those in need is a very good political platform, but someone has to pay these programs. Only in­ dividuals can, but right now the English private sector is nearly axphyiated. This does not mean mat once it is healthy again (if it can recover), it must again pay for the promises of some politicians!

Vote for ASLC Vice President and Treasurer today in the Post Office Building.

Theresa CostelloCandidate for ASLC

Vice PresidentTuc main responsibilities of

the ASLC Vice President are to function as Parliamen­ tarian at council meetings and to assist the various campus clubs.

If elected Vice President, my past experience as student representative in high school and college would be a definite asset in functioning as Parliamentarian. The main goal I would like to ac­ complish as Vice President would be to improve the rela­ tionship between the ad­ ministration, ASLC. the clubs and the students.

I feel that any school is merely a skeleton that must be filled out by the students themselves. It is nearly im­ possible to expect someone else to create your environ­ ment exactly as you would have it unless you in some way

contribute, dubs play an im­ portant role. Not only are they social functions, they can also be outlets for student interests and personal enrichment as well as be outward arms of the school.

During my first semester at AGSIM, I was a member of the German, Marketing, and Women in Business dubs. I helped with the Marketing Club's Casino Night and organized a panel discussion for the whole school on "Small Business Going International" as a member of the Women in Business Speakers Commit­ tee.

This summer I have been active as President of Women in Business, which is the se­ cond largest club on campus, and as a member of the marketing club. During Orien­ tation Women in Business had an ice cream party for the new students. We also sponsored Mr. Mottek, an international consultant, who spoke on "Cultural Differences of Do­ ing Business Internationally," besides our regular guest speakers.

With the support of Alumni Relations and Development, we were able to complete our first "Network"mailine. from which we are already receiv­ ing responses! Unfortunately, most encounters with ASLC Committees in trying to imple­ ment our plans were like a slap on the hand for wanting to do something positive for the school.

Although we are one of the most active clubs, we were one of the very few not to be allocated any funds by the Club Council. I feel that there are definite changes that need to be made in how club funds are allocated.

As President of Women in Business, I have striven to begin that which I would like to accomplish as Vice Presi­ dent. I am very supportive of Ann Connors's goal to improve student-ASLC contact and feel that ASLC support of dubs could play a significant role in helping to achieve it.

Steve Nfctey Candidate for ASLC

Vice President My name is Steve Nkley. I

am a first semester student this summer. I am a member of the German club, and with my wife am a member of the Spouse club.

The Vice-Prestdent is often an elected office that is forgot­ ten. It is forgotten mainly because the person in that of­ fice does not care to be heard.

The Vice-President has the second most powerful job in the ASLC and should use that rank to full advantage. If the Vice-President is heard when it is not necessary for him or her to be heard, the position becomes r.ore apparent. This is essential in the event that the Vice-President needs to take the President's place. The Vice-President being heard before this time has the effect of making himself or

herself more of a leader and gives the individual more politkaJ clout

The Vice-President's chief responsibility is to know the by-laws. This responsibility needs to go further than he or she knowing them The Vice- President should be the link between the students of AGSIM and the by-laws. The by-laws are dusty manuscripts that are only known by the Vice-President.

They should be published so that the people they govern have an opportunity to review than. Once reviewed, revi­ sions and/or additions should be made under the direction of the Vice-President.

The Vice-President also needs to be a person that can take some of the load off the President. The Vice- President's inputs and ideas could be a vital impetas into Presidential problems and tasks.

The Vice-President should instigate new ideas of his or her own and then work on their acceptance in proper channels

Things I would like to see done this coming semester are: later hours for the Library; more security at night; lockers for use by off- campus students; and a better system of election orientation to help rid AGSIM of the apathy that surrounds the elections.

Frank MyersCandidate for ASLC

ASLC Vice President on two semesters of involvement in numerous campus activities and my desire to get things done.

sorry this is a week late, but it needs to be said, all the same.

Last night someone asked me what this place would be

dying. Or should I nave been? I've learned more while con­ versing at your bar than I have in any classroom.

Your idiosyncracies in­ trigue me. From the ooietel pool-table to the grafiffi to the men's restroom, yon nave character. More character than any building oo campus.

You're like a good friend, because with all your faults, we still love you.

We love the music to be just a little too loud.

We love the multitude of languages spoken under clear skies in your "front yard" oo any given evening.

We love the cheap beer and the broken (usually) tigaret machine.

We love the bartenders who are our classmates, and the cute signs on the "tip- pitcher."

We love your every most ex­ otic brand of beer and your sleepy-eyed guard-dog who is shocked by nothing. Most animals avoid noisy crowds, but not Yappy. I'm sure he'd attack anyone who attempted to unplug the jukebox.

And do we ever love your hours. You open when classes let out and dose just in time for us to sleep it off before they begin again.

We love your surfboard and coffin and two T.V.'s. though channel IS is hard to tune in.

We love your location (next to the library-nice thinking) and the people we meet there.

But most of all we love what you stand for: good times, good friends, and great memories. You ARE the mystique.

So, happy birthday Pub. May you out-live us aH, and never change.

Thunderbirds Visit The People's RepublicBy Bob Header

"B was really a/tr$ Mo another world." That was the reaction last week of Dean Steven Beaver upon bis return from a seven-week stay in the People's Republic of China-

Beaver accompanied four American stadents on the first exchange between AGSIM and Uie Beijing Institute of Foreign Trade. Under the ex­ change program, three

; from the PRC spenda year studying in residence on the Tbunderbird campus. In reton, twice a year a group of American stodents travel to the PRC.

The students and Beaver spent the first four weeks of their stay in Beijing, attending language and business classes at the Beijing Institute of trade.

"We had a delightful time.", Beaver said. "Our hosts went out of their way to see that we had a good experience."

In addition to dasswork, the group went on a variety of sightseeing tours. They saw the Forbidden city and the Great Wall, as well as a host of performances including, acrobatics, tee-skating, and dance. They were also enter­ tained by the families of the three Chinese students who are currently attending AGSIM.

Because our students are at a graduate level, they were considered "foreign experts," and were boosed in a "Hotel for Foreign Experts," an enormous complex designed to bouse western visitors, complete with television in each. room.

Beaver saw quite a few televisions, radios, and cassette players OB sate in stores. "1 was surprized at the number of people carrying electric fans, I didn't expect to see mat kind of consumer good being sold there."

Beaver explained that recently the government has been encouraging certain market activities, including the buying and selling of some consumer goods.

Beaver said be has other* preconceived notions about like in the PRC that proved to be false. In addition to seeing many consumer goods. Beaver noted that many women were wearing Western domes and bright colors. He also saw quite a few bicycles andwristwatcbes.

He also found that com­ munications in Beijing were good. There are three TV sta­ tions featuring mostly news

ing. The international news 'was usually BBC or ABC coverage. And be was surpris­ ed one night to see an ABC segment on Arizona.

Much of the radio and TV programming that Beaver noticed was educational, par­ ticularly English language in­ struction. The English lessons were either from the BBC or the Yoke of America. Beaver said he was astonished by the large number of young Chinese who were teaming English by listening to the broadcasts.

Often the AGSIM group was approached by young students wanting to try oat their English. "It was really fun­ ny," Beaver said. "You could tell which broadcast the stodents had been listening to. About half spoke with a strong British accent and the other half with an American ac­ cent."

Other communications were

act so successful; Beaver said me telephone system was quite bad internally. Often it was difficult to telephone otter cities within the PRC. Ironically, when Beaver phon­ ed his wife in the States, they had a perfect connection. Most of the music be beard in the PRC was classical Chinese musk, with traditional in­ struments. He CM bear other types of music however, in­ cluding Bong long New Wave and, interestingly, Indian mask. The most common foreign films were from India, and many of them were musicals. The songs from these movies received a lot of airplay.

Beaver noted that the Chinese students were in­ terested in Western musk, and often asked the AGSIM students, for example, to ex­ plain the difference between rock and disco.

Alter the stay in Beijing, Beaver and the students traveled some 4,000 miles by train, visiting a variety of places. While in Beijing, ft* group was free to travel anywhere within city. However, even Chinese citizens are required to get a permit for travel outside the city.

But the group bad no pro­ blem getting permission to travel anyplace they wanted. The China Travel Service made all the arrangements, and a representative met the group in each dry.

Beaver stressed mat they were given a great deal of freedom in their traveling. Often the group declinded the services of the China Travel Service guide, preferring to explore the cities on their own. Beaver said that while the bureacracy in the PRC was often frustrating, it was dif­ ficult at times to get ac­ commodations, most of their traveling went very well.

Another problem the group encountered in traveling was the language barrier. In Beij­ ing, Beaver found mat the students conk) get around with their AGSIM language preparation. The dialect taught here is Mandarin, which is spoken in Beijing. Even so, the students en- ^v^iH^yrmj rffffiffiffi flcccnts in Befjing.

Outside of Beijing, the students had a much harder time. "It's not a country yon can visit on your own," Beaver said. "There are never any signs in English; you don't find Rngifch anywhere. If yon didn't know the language, yon would never know you had gotten to the right dry."

Treasurer

Ten years of trust banking experience have given me an extensive working knowledge of ffa*fr management and of correct account reporting methods.

This, in addition to ex­ perience gained serving in various official capacities (including treasurer) for a variety of organizations, win enable me to properly carry out the duties of treasurer if elected.

I fed mat a change is necessary in the method of allocating ASLC funds to the various clubs because the cur­ rent method discriminates against those dobs that are fiscally responsible and havea reserve.

Regarding contribution of funds to clubs, the ASLC re-

Alloca­ tion of funds for other all- campus activities which 3re eligible for ASLC funding wouid be determined Oy the various Club Council Representatives.

Allocation of funds for ex- traodinary expenses (such as a music band) would also be determined by the club representatives.

All of the above would be subject to budgetary con­ straints.
