DAS TOR is an independent campus newspaper at the American Graduate School of International Management. Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the DAS TOR staff.

Divertissementsbv Rod Milani

Editorial Policy!t is the policy of ihi.s paper to only print Letters To The Editor

which carry the name of the author. \Ve hope this will t*ncoura&e stu­ dents to think out their letters more thoroughly before submitting them to print, and hopefully lessen the number of attacks on the character of others. If you have an honest opinion and are willing to attach your name to it. we will gladly accept your letter and print it for you.

We at DAS TOR obviously cannot take the responsibility for the content of letters written by our fellow students. This policy requir­ ing names on the letters will allow all students a forum, and the opportunity to take the responsibility for their opinions.

Well folks, just as I promised, here is a rundown of spots to hear and ;or to music around town. For big name entertainment I think the Celebrity Theatre (267-7501) is about the best concert hall in Phoenix. Although the revolving stage in this theatre in the round might be distracting to some. the intimate size more than makes up for it. The Celebrity offers non-smoking sections and a fully stocked bar. Coming attractions include former- Youngblood, Jesse Colin Young, on September 10, Be-Bop Deluxe on September 16, and Minnie Rtperton on September 17.

Dooley's at 1215 E. Apache Blvd. in Tempe is a favorite ASU area haunt that often offers nationally known entertainment. Scarlet Rivera, who was dis­ covered by Dylan on a N'ew York street comer and went on to become his violinist with the Rolling Thunder Revue, will be featured on September 12. For Jazz fans, Dooley's offers the Crusaders on Sep­ tember M. Maria Muldaur is slated for September 25.

The Boojum Tree in the Doubletree Inn on 2nd Ave. at Osbom Rd. is a good place to hear mellow jazz. From time to time, they offer big name jazz acts for a moderate cover charge. Otherwise, there are locaJ jazz acts nightly with no cover charge.

If you're into dancing, here is a list of some of Phoenix's most popular spots for letting go:

Truffle's - 5719 W. Northern Ave,, 931-1679,very crowded. ..clientele young and flashy.

Monk's Garden - 4420 E. Camelback Road-.959-0733, dressy.. .older crowd.. .restaurantalso.

Shenanigan's - 355 W. Camelback Rd.. 266-0066, informal.. .low-key.. .the music is not alwaysdisco.

So long for now. "

Through The Grapevinebv Steven M. Reinbolt

Upon my arrival in Phoenix I was immediately struck by two profound observations: 1) it was quite warm and, 2) a glass of ice cold white wine seemed to taste a lot better. Not knowing the Pho*-

carafe. Admittedly, 1 have not explored further than the local Alpha Beta and Gemeos'. However, in the coming weeks I hope to search, research, and review the better wine and spirit establishments of the area and report back on their selections, prices, and any exceptional discoveries and/or bargains.

However, returning to my two profound obser­ vations; the heat I could do nothing about. But a glass of wine! As I was limited to just a few cents left to me by financial registration, I was obviously in the jug wine category. This is what I found:

There is no lack of good wine these days in Arizona.-Prices are rising but there are still good buys available so no wine lover need go thirsty. Many "nouveau connoisseurs" will turn up their noses at the mention of Almaden Vineyards be-

tfe* wasmgAtian oC ti»«ir jutf win«f. Th« Ptlb Jeir:0wn to serve them in plastic cups. How­

ever, as the world's largest producer of premium wines, there can be no excuse for not having tried their finer wines. Almaden's French Colombard is

superb! It has a less overly fruity style than other California Colombards and has been praised by such connoisseurs as Nathan Ooman and Trader Vie. At SI.99 a fifth it is an exceptional value. Alsoi »"On» riiHitfw*:!** i» O»"*C O* *3Sjr t.Sfit'iwMkt***, *»*cwSw!'2.*»i>S

miners, with fruity nose and vety spicy flaw, it is a great buy at $2.89 a fifth. Also at Alpha Beta was a fine selection of wines from Charlw Krug. The Chenin Blanc at 52.75 is in my opinion a vin extraordinaire. For you Chardonnay lovers, try the Los Hermanos (which is B*reager Bros, second label) Chardonnay. It is a very drinkable wine at $3.29 per magnum.

If you must have red wine in this beat and would like a change from the Gallo Hearty Burgundy- Italian Swiss Colony syndrome; try Cribari Mellow Burgundy, which it lighter and mellower than their regular burgundy. There is also a wide selection at the local stores from Louie Martini. His best buy if his Cabernet Sauvignon at $3.50 a fifth.

In the coming weeks I hope to explore the wine scene here in Arizona including establishments, club*, people, and t>t eouwe, individual bottles. If you have any suggestions, recommendations or opinions, drop me a line in box 2669 or the DAS Tor office. Cheers! Salud!

The most admired and best-liked film at Cannes this year. Werner Herzog's film will surely signal the director's breakthrough from cult favorite to universally recognized master filmmaker In this adaptation of the Kaspar Mauser legend (about the sudden appearance in 1820's Germany of a young man with no memory and no knowledge of the out­ side world). Kaspar is seen as another of Herzog's marginal characters in extremis Every Man for Himself" is the director's most accessible and most moving film And Bruno S does more than "play" Kaspar; he mysteriously embodies the spirit of a manchild in a threatening land Grand"Special Jury Prize.

K you don't know by now, you will soon learn that the on this campus can rival telecommunications satellites f

in New York, or if you wonder how a certain salary compares to the

mink that their salaries may be announced to the world. Actually

Mr. Mannel just combines them to work up statistics on what the

next graduating class can expect in the way of salaries for certain

regions or in certain fields of endeavor.

ail of the great things Haeemew, is doing lot us, there

are several things we must also do. We have to actively search for

that job. That means putting together a good resume, leading the

resume oat with a good cover letter (after doing research on the

company in the Placement Office), and keeping the Placement

Office informed of our progress. Visit Placement regularly. Check

for new lists of companies recruiting. Ask questions instead of

relying on the grapevine. Attend the seminars given by Mr. Mannel

on interviewing and searching for a job. Placement can help you a

great deal, but they can't PLACE you. That's what each erne of us

must do for ourselves. V.G.

How To Survive At Thunderbird

Tom Sunderlinby Vickie Griswell

Most of you who've been here a while have seen Tom Sunderlin about campus. He's the tall lanky guy with the western clothes and the cowboy boots. Tom looks like a typical westerner. He has a "down-home" kind of friendliness. You would never guess he came from New Jersey.

Tom's family moved out west in 1945, and he quickly adopted th* Vi'trMvru iifesiyie. Tom smiles and says, "1 love Arizona. I'd never move anywhere else. There's so much to see and do here. I love to fish and hunt and be in the outdoors."

Tom started with AGSIM when it was still AIFT back in 1953 as the school driver. "Being the driver involved doing a'littie bit of everything. I picked up supplies, ran errands, sorted mail, all sorts of odd jobs.

"Back then we only had about 250 students. They were great! They studied like crazy, but boy could they party. They worked hard and played hard."

He had lots of contact with students then - partly because of the nature of his job. and partly because the smaller group was easy to get to know. He says he really enjoys getting to know students and following their careers when they leave here, "Every so often I get a card from ooe of the old students telling me wb«» h« ii now and

Welcome to Arizona! Most of you have never been here before and, after yotu year is up. most of you will never return. But in the meantime, you must learn to survive in the desert. The fol­ lowing are some of the more common conditions found at Thunderbird:

HEAT EXHAUSTION: If you are feeling nauseous or diz­ zy, you probably have heat ex­ haustion. If you plan to spend any time at all out in the sun. if you are crazy enough to play tennis at high noon, take the nec­ essary precautions against the heat. Wear adequate clothing (too little is as bad as too much), take salt tablets, and most important- DRINK 8 TO 10 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY.^f you are plan­ ning a tubing expedition down the Salt River, don't let the thought of all that cool, refresh­ ing water fool you. You can get heat exhaustion even when par­ tially submerged So take along lots of food and fresh water (beer and wine are of no help)

HEAT STROKE: This is much more serious than heat exhaus­ tion. The cooling mechanism in your body will suddenly stop, you'll turn beet red. and you won't be able to sweat. For treat­ ment, you will be put in a cold ice bath and then rushed to the emergency ward at the hospital. Don't take chances. Be careful

in the sun!

DIARRHEA: Commonly thought to be caused by the qual­ ity of the food in the Dining Hail, diarrhea at Thunderbtrd is mere­ ly (usually) your body'* reaction to change in diet. If you want to treat yourself for this condition, take Kaopectate and go on a dear-liquid diet for 24 hours. If it persists, go to the Campus Health Center.

ALLERGIES: "Come to Ari- zone and cultivate your allergies" (Sharon Bonelli. Thunderbird School Nurse, Summer 1976). There is enough dust and pollen in the air and Bermuda grass on the ground to aggravate anyone's allergies. If you are prone to allergies, avoid going out at sun- set-that 's the time of day when the pollen starts to settle.

CONJUNCTIVITIS: A com­ mon condition on campus, con­ junctivitis is an eye inflammation associated with irritation from wind, dust, and light. Lest you haven't noticed, Arizona abounds in wind, dust and light. "Pink eye," a common type of con­ junctivitis, is rare at Thunderbird. but you can sure get "red eye" from all the chlorine that's dumped in the swimming pool. "Red eye" is also caused by over- patronizing the Pub.

STRESS A very common oc­

currence at Thunderbird, stress ha* been known to cause a multi­ tude of psychosomatic iUnextes in T-Birds. If the preaurt gets to you (as it does to everyone at one time or another) and you can't find anyone on campus to talk about it, try the Arizona Guidance Center, Phoenix, Cope, Inc. We*uide Center of P«y- chological Counseling. Glendale, or Interfaith Counseling Service, N.W. Chapter. Phoenix. These people provide counseling and charge according to yourearnmgs.

VALLEY FEVER: Phoenix** claim to fame. Paradise Valley, not too many miles from here has the highest incidence of Val­ ley Fever in the Southwest. No, it's nothing like Spring Fever. This is an actual disease which anyone who has lived here more than five years has probably had and never known it. Valley Fever is a fungal disease earned by spores and it causes nasal con­ gestion, low-grade fever, and a general dragged out feeling. If you think you've got it, get lots of fluids and take vitamins. But don't really worry about this one. You probably won't be in Arizona long enough to catch it

If you think you're suffering from one of the above or if you have another health problem, just take a hike down to the HealthCenter.

After driving for nine years, the purchasing position was created and Tom took over. Just about everything in the school goes through his office. The books and supplies in the bookstore, all furniture, equipment and machinery throughout the campus, as well as supplies, etc.

The liquor in the Pub and the food in Food Service are ordered by their respective managers. Before the Pub came into being, Purchasing was in charge of the liquor locker.

"Then, dubs had parties to raise, revenues. There was no ASLC or student fee, so they couldn't get money from dub council. So each dub had the opportunity to throw one all' campus party per semester. We got out the liquor from the locker and had to make 6 page reports on the amount they used. Sometimes it was hard to measure out all those ounces."

Most of those old problems are past, but he still has trouble get­ ting parts for some of the barracks. "A lot of those things aren't made anymore. Fve even had guys laugh on die phone when I call them up for a specific part They'll say, 'are you kidding?' So, I

-have to look pretty hard to find some things."The audio-visual equipment comes out of his office, too. He

used to run it as part of his driving job, so it just carried over into

«Mn to meet M.O Sh»>rtvat the soroer field wearing gym shorts and tennis shoes. Students should sign up at the bulletin board in the Post Office lobby or just show up on September 12th. M.G. will help you get in shape and stay in shape the entire semester.

When asked what it a about this place and his job that keeps him going, he says, "I just love this place. The campus is nice, Tw watched it grow. And I love working with people.

"I have a great crew, too. Ann Bean has been here about a year BOW and Ronnie Bonner has been driving for me seven years."

Tom's philosophy of life is simple and dear "You get out of life what you put into it" He really means it, too. He goes around cam- pas with a smfle for everyone and an offer to help out however he can. Anyone who is active in a club and has dealt with Tom can tell you that

Tom took his first parachute jump a couple of years ago. It had been something mat fascinated him for years. "I finally decided I had to do it- 1) for the experience, and 2) to see if I could really go through with it It was an incredible experience."

Tom's advice to others? He says, "The most valuable things we all have is our health and our lives. We should take stock of that and live every day to the fullest, and do the things in life we really want to do or accomplish. If we really want to, we can do it."

Appeal Hearings

Do you feel that you were unjustly ticketed? If so, ap­ peal to the Traffic Review Board. Your appeal must be made within seven days from the date of the ticket.

The Traffic Review Board's first meeting will be Thursday, October 6, and they will review all appeals at that time.

When balloonists talk of their hobby as the 'sport of the Seven­ ties,' they don't mean everyone is rushing out to buy a balloon.

But they consider its fast- growing appeal is because it is such a delightful anachronism in our high-spevd generation;a gen­ tle pastime practiced by people of romantic sensibilities.

"Flying in a balloon is so totally irrelevant and beautiful," says Bob Waligunda, who Dew the balloon America from coast to coast for a TV special last year.

"It's difficult to explain the feeling and unless you fly a bal­ loon you'll never really know it There's no motion in the basket; it's calm, still, stately. Since you are moving with the wind you feel no wind and you have a complete sense of detachment from everything."

Balloonists grope for eloquence when they describe the magic of their sport One Califomian engineer shouts the poetry of William Blake to the wind when be goes up. Others listen motionless to the tiny everyday sounds of earthbound life; dogs barking, doors slamming, children shouting.

"It's quite a lovely feeling," says Waligunda. Although it is unlikely ever to become a sport of the masses, more

and more Americans are captivated by ballooning. Currently there are some 250 pilots in the United States and 200 balloons, more than in all the other countries of the world combined.

The United States is the recognized world leader in hot air balloon­ ing. It was here Oat interest revived after more than a century of near oblivion.

After the first flights pioneered by the MontgolCer Brothers of France in the late 18th century, the danger of early balloons and the appearance of the airplane effectively deadened interest

Then in 1945 a new type of heating apparatus was developed in the United States and later the development of new materials made hot-air ballooning feasible as a popular sport

The man most credited with the revival is Ed Yost of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the first man to cross the English Channel in a balloon. Yost developed a new hard wearing envelope of lightweight calendered nylon which permitted me balloon to be used many times. In the 12 years since, the sport has made impressive gains.

There are now three major balloon manufacturers and numerous schools across the United States where a person can train to become a licensed pilot

All balloon activities come under the auspices of the Balloon Fed­ eration of America in Washington, D.C. Prospective balloonists should write for the BFA's quarterly journal which carries advertisements listing balloon flight training.

Training is available for bom gas and hot-air balloons, but most people choose the less-expensive hot-air.

While not time-consuming, obtaining a baftooning license is not simple. Besides eight hours of in-flight training (one hour solo), ap­ plicants must take a written examination, pass a medical examination and be further checked by a medical examiner.

Once you're licensed, flying a balloon is not expensive - about $10 for four hours worth of fuel. But buying a balloon is a different matter. They start at about $3,000 and peak around the $10,000 mark.

AIESEC-AGSIMAIESEC is a student-run, non-profit organization which finds meaningful summer employment overseas for

students of economics and business. The student intern provides transportation to his destination overseas, and the sponsoring overseas company provides a stipend to cover living expenses while there. This summer the AIESEC chapter at AGSIM arranged First National Bank of Arizona's sponsorship of intern Vladimir Kandikjan of Skopje, Yugoslavia, and as well sent two Thunderbirds to work overseas. Bill Brackney (May 77) spent the summer in the head office of a department store in Wissen, West Germany, and Carol Brittain (May 77) worked during the summer in the management training program of a German bank in Trier. AIESEC-AGSIM will be re­ organizing soon, and now is the time to begin contacting Phoenix businesses about sponsoring interns. For every intern we bring to the U.S., we get to send at least one overseas, and sometimes more than one. So watch for notices or contact Jeff Manners to get involved with AIESEC-AGSIM.

A Letter from Carol Brittain one of the AGSIM students that spent the summer in Germany

I've spent the summer working in a German bank in Trier, on the Mosel River about six miles from Lux­ embourg. My AGSIM-German has gotten me by fine, the major difficulties being with the dialect here, which is about as close to the German we learned at AGSIM as New Jersey speech is to Alabama-not very! But have no fear, and memorize every dialogue like your life de­ pended on it; so often I find myself needing a phrase or structure that sounded so strange in class, but is exactly right here. For instance, yesterday a colleague here at work offered me a newspaper to read, and I could and did immediately respond with a line straight from dialogue no. 1, German 300-A: ".. .Keine leichte Lekture fur mich." (That reading's too difficult for me).

The internship at the bank is interesting, but hardly strenuous after the Jam-packed year at AGSIM. This "bank" Kreissparkasse Trier-Saarburg, is really more like a hybrid of a savings and loan and a stock brokerage. I have rotated through five departments, including the foreign exchange teller's booth, stocks and bonds, loans

bookkeeping, organization, and central bookkeeping. I sometimes do translations of letters and documents from English to German for the Board of Directors and others; I've used everything we ever learned in grammar class, including the more exotic lessons like extended adjective phrases.

The German AIESECers in Trier are sponsoring 13 interns here this summer and keep busy organizing parties (to sample the local wines of course), bowling or ninepins expeditions, brewery tours, and a week- long tap to Berlin with all expenses paid for about $35. My best acquaintances tend to come from among the other interns and from my colleagues here at work. Vlasta, a Yugoslavian intern, and I went to dinner one evening and spent 3 hours over dessert discussing movies, clothes, careers, America, Yugoslavia, the Kennedys, and a touch of economic politics; I found myself quoting Prof. Woodruffs chapter and verse on multinational corporations. I mentioned Atlanta to Vlasta and she immediately recognized it not as being near the hometown of President Carter, but as the hometown of Scarlett OTiara of Gone With The Wind, one of Vlasta's favorite books!

This summer in Germany, while not exactly an intellectual challenge, has been a unique experience, valuable in ways other than "learning banking." Any­ one interested in working overseas with AIESEC do get j involved-it's worth it. ... and in the meantime, study I those dialogues.
