SUMMER SEMESTER AT THUNDERBIRD - Five week courses highlight changes

While we have been busy with our studies in the Spring semester, there has been precious lirdetime for those of us planning to be here this sum­ mer to think about our schedules. Fortunately, the Registrar's office has done much of that work for us. Thanks to the work of Registrar David Van Ness and his staff,Thun­ derbird offers a new and improved summer program, one which better responds to the needs of students for more flexible schedules as well as the needs of faculty to concentrate on research (yes, they do more than teach here).

Pyonyan; Big-Bang theory

North Korean Frictionby A mire Duumiii

North Korea's refusal 10 allow the International Aiomic Energy Agency lo inspect its nuclear sites, and iis subsequent loose-cannon act. has attracted just the kind of atten­

tion it was designed for. Its "Seoul will bum" threats have unnerved the long-memoried South Koreans, and by threatening a nuclear war that would spread radiation over China and Japan, the pariah state has snapped up front-page head­ lines all over the world. In addition. U.S. offers of concessions 10 ihe North if they allow inspections indicates they've even managed to intimidate the United States. Ari­ zona Senator John McCain has de­ scribed Ctinton'sNorth Koreapolicy as "walk softly and cany a bunch of carrots."

Yet walking softly, at least, seems wise. QA director James Woolsey has said that the North has enough plutonium for "one or more weapons." If true, t h e ramifications would be far-reach­ ing, with broad ripple effects. First, it would seriously undermine the ability of the IAEA to monitor the use and spread of nuclear weapons and material. Second, a threatened South Korea might adopt a nuclear weapons program of its own: third.

Japan might deem a nuclear North Korea ample reason to scrap its paci­ fist constitution and go nuclear; and finally, it would accelerate nuclear proliferation among Iran. Iraq. Pa­ kistan, and others who want the bomb.

While the United States has been work­ ing 10 bolster support at the I'.N. for possible sanctions against North Korea, it has. also been strengthening its 37.0fX)-troop presence in the peninsula. Aside from the headlines- grabbing shipment of patriot missiles to.South Korea. Defense secre­ tary William Perry h:is ordered the Air Force to build up spare parts and munitions supplies there in order to improve its abi lity to rush warplanes

into action In addition, the Army has begun replacing its older heli­ copters with new. Apache attack he­ licopters, and plans are being stud­ ied for F-15 and F-16 fighter plane support from bases in Japan to bol­ ster the squadron of F-16s already in-country.

And so ihe situ.itir-i> tenum-. charged. Ihe Clinton administration'srecent friction with China, the North's closest ally, has made overtures to them awkward. although efforts are ongoing. Curi­ ously, former U.S. ambassador to South Korea Richard Walker be­ lieves that China's public dressing- down of Secretary of State Warren Christopher two weeks ago may have actually caused North Korea to block nuclear inspection three days later. "Over the centuries." Walker said, "Korea has taken its clues for dealing with foreigners from Beijing. They believe that China's bluster and rude treatment of Warren Christopher constitutes a good example to be followed." In addition. North Korea has been studying the reluctance of the Ginton administration to commit troops to Bosnia, and the withdrawal of troops from Somalia as indica­ tors of how far the US is willing to go in playing North Korea's game of nuclear chicken. It is difficult to say whether Pyonyang's bluster will achieve their ultimate goal of full diplomatic recognition and foreign economic assistance, but their big- bang tack has certainly succeeding in turning some heads.

What is CEFTA.'

CEFTA stands for the Central European Free Trade Agreement which is comprised of four countries: Hungary, the Czech Republic. Poland and Slovakia It has a total population of about 65 million. According to the recently signed agreement, the tariffs and trade barriers for the majority of products between the member countries will be abolished during the next five to 10 years.

It is a first stage of further economic integration of the four countries and a preparatory step for European Union membership. Already all four countries have signed association agreements with the European Union and plan to apply for admission to the Union in the near future. Recently Slovenia expressed interest in joining the CEFTA. The combi­ nation of projected high economic growth rate for the region, access to the largest single market in the world, and well skilled and inexpensive labor makes this region an attractive one for many businesses.

Well, we're still surviving the mid-term crunch. Lots of us are found in the middle of the study room floor huddling over maps of Europe tor Dr Barbarinde's RBE mid-term. Study groups are plenti­ ful. For MBM and other classes. suits and ties gearing up for pol­ ished presentations give our reno­ vated farmhouse the air of a Fortune ^00 company, I,ike you. we loo ore staying up until all hours of the morning in the computer room to get papers in on time. We will live through this.

We must. Who else would keep Europe's trains and roads oc-

g£ cupied during week­ ends? For upcoming Easter weekend, a large contingent of Archamps T-Birds is heading south to Rome. Florence and maybe Milan. A neu'lyengagedcoupfe is sneaking off to Venice for a romantic getaway. Rumor has it that they will be back. Another set of us are headed north to Brussels and then. Amsterdam. They claim they intend to be careful enjoying night life there. Still another few of us are contemplating Corsica or some warm, sunny beach

where no brain activity is neces­ sary.

The blooming flowers around Geneva and white cherry trees are promising an even prettier spring than we could hope for. This morn­ ing we saw cafes and restaurants putting tables and chairs onto side­ walks to get ready for spring people watchers. This is going to get better and better

W'ith only 7 weeks or so left in this semester, we are committed to making the most of every minute on this continent. Hope you are doing the same!

Legalizing Drugs?by Michael Oakes

The prospect reminded me back to a movie of a couple of years ago Spike Lee's Jungle Fever and toapowerfully disturbing scene in it. Wesley Snipes, who portrays a successful businessman, enters a New York City crack house insearch of his older brother, a crack addict who has just stolen from their par­ ents to fund his habit It is a truly dizzying scene, the large house foggy with crack smoke, people of all backgrounds who have been driven to care for nothing beyond their next high. Granted, this is glitzy Hollywood (even though it comes from one of its more truthful filmmakers) showing this dark side of drug use, the destroyed lives, broken relationships, utter despair. But this is also a reality for the untold addicts who. at one time in their lives, "tried it" for the first time.

Here I must make a distinction between "hard" and "soft" drugs. Though some may call it hypocriti­ cal. I argue here against the legaliza­ tion of highly addictive drugs such as heroine, crack and cocaine as opposed to marijuana, which is medically less addictive and less harmful than both alcohol and ciga­ rettes. Yet some would like to bunch all drugs together and argue for their legalization. This. 1 cannot support.

The arguments for legalization go something like this. Take drugs out of the hands of the pushers and put them in the hands of the govern­ ment and thedrug companies where they can be regulated and controlled Give the users clean needles and rehabilitation centers, and allow people to make their own choice.

We could also reduce violent crime, they say, but at what cost to society? What these and similar arguments overlook is the highly addictive na­ ture of hard drugs and the vulner­ ability of youth.

"Hie legalization of drugs would greatly reduce the negative social stigma that currently goes along with their usage; maybe not initially, but definitely over time. As a direct consequence, the number of "aver­ age people" experimenting would also increase. The scenario of rais­ ing a generation of the addicted is not so far-fetched, especially if, through regulation, drugs are made less expensive,

"But they'll be regulated, only sold to those of a responsible age," it could be argued. One need only look at the use of alcohol and ciga­ rettes by those underage to get an idea of the effectiveness of regula- lion. On the other side, if govern­ ment was able to establish an effec- ti ve system of regulation. this wouid quite probably result in the emer­ gence of a black market for them and the resurgence of drug-related crime.

It has also been argued that legalization would allow govern­ ment to set prices high enough to discourage both experimentation and steady use. Acain. this would encourage ;i black rrurket for drugs at cheaper prices and effectively negate any positive effects on crime.

Finally, children are curious. This is the cause of much of our current drug problem. Buttheeasier the access, the greater chance of greater experimentation.

Looking back, this seems to be purely common sense. I guess that's my point. Legalizing drugs makes no sense.

I support the legalization of drugs. Let me first say that I am not some glassy-eyed drug user looking to legitimize and lower the cost of my habit I do not use illegal drugs. In fact I am always thinking up new and interesting ways of just saying no, as my heroine (pun intended) Nancy Reagan would say.

Legalization of drugs would result in a lower crime rate, higher tax receipts, and may actually cause a decrease in illegal drug use.

There is a clear link between crime and the illegal drug trade. Just as in the roaring twenties, turf *ars over the distribution of drugs result in ugly and bloody gun battles. Us­ ers faced with an artificially inflated price will stop at nothing to obtain the money to pay the dealers.

Legal izaiion wiil sharply lower the price of drugs, thus decreasing the incentive to steal to obtain them. Corporations will take over the drug trade and put the gangs and thugs out of business. Battles will still be fought but they will be waged in the stock market, not on the streets The over-crowded jails will be cleared nut of two-bit drug dealers, leaving room for real criminals such as murderers and rapists

The current monopoly mer dis­ tribution b> the drugcartel.senforced by their own daring and brutality will be broken. Enormous profits now funneled to the Swiss bank accounts of a few people will be spread out among numerous stock­ holders. Every one could partici­ pate in the profits by simply buying shares of Philip Morris or RJ Reynolds.

As essayist William S. Burroughs said in a 1978 Rolling Stone Interview "In order to elimi­ nate drug use, a police state will have to be created; there will liter­ ally have to be a camera in everyone's bedroom". This is un­ acceptable in the United States. As it stands now, the drug trade is out of control. If thedrug trade were legal­ ized, it could be regulated and heavilytaxed The receipts could be used to open up detox centers and finance media campaigns that vilify drug use. Media campaigns have proven more effective than all the dnigraidsintheworld. There would probably be enough money leftover to eliminate the national debt.

Would legalizing drugs in­ crease drug use? There is no evi­ dence to support the assertion that it would In fact, there isevidence that drug use would actually decrease. Take away the thrill, and no one will want to do it. It is a true fact that alcohol consumption actually dropped after the repeal of prohibi­ tion. The Netherlands has practi­ cally legalized drugs and yet it has not turned into a nation of drug crazed junkies.

This a sensible proposal that is supported by both Milton Friedman and William F. Buckley. These are no hippies, but establishment stal­ warts.

The Ten Commandments of —— Resume Writing ——

By Heather Leonard,Graduate Associate

The making of a resume in­ volves writing skills and knowl­ edge of yourself and of the position you are looking for. It also involves the ability to cope with ambiguity when it comes to deciding what should he included and what should he left out. In spite of the subjective nature of making a resume, some general guidelines apply. The Ten Commandments below, found in a an old \ ault in the Career Services Center, summarize some of those guidelines:l.Thy resume's first third shall sell

Have you ever thought of how difficult the job of a recruiter is? In periods of economic growth it's tough on them to find and to fight for the best candidates out in the job market. Ineconomicrecessionsthey have to keep their heads above the pile of resumes and somehow man­ age to son out the best candidates for the fewer positions their compa­ nies need them to fill. It looks like recruiters are now facing the latter of the two challenges and, to cope

Beyond the Cutting €dge

Net.Structure3fry Ray Scurr [email protected]

Many network structures work with E-mail as the means for group discussions on the net. The oldest example of this iscalled L1STSERV. A Listserv is a program, running on a computer on the net. that main­ tains lists (i.e. list server). Each list is a table of E-mail addresses of people with common interests who want tobe part of group discussions.

The Listserv receives E-mail messages, that are sent usually from list members, and then resends the message to everyone subscribed on the list. The Listserv has its own E- mail address. e.g. L1STSERV@AREVM 1 .BITNET Only commands can be sent to this address and then only in the first lines of the body of an E-mail mes­ sage, e.g. SUBSCRIBE TBIRDS John Doe (meaning subscribe John doetotheTBIRDSlist). Thelistserv would respond to John by sending an E-mail saying that his name has been added to the Thirds list. If he wanted to send a message to the croup i e post en the list, he would address the message to the group to TBIRDS@ ARIZVM1 .BITNET

Every list has a list owner, who is in charge of everyday administration ofthelist. This includes keeping the discussion on appropriate topics, setting policieswhen necessary, and taking care of the general adminis­ trative tasks. Some lists are moder­ ated by the list owner. This means that messages are sent to the list owner, who will read them and then decide whether to post the message on the list. TBIRDS is an unmoderated list, meaning that any­ one can post directly to it.

Many people, who are sub­ scribed to a list don"! post but do read their messages that are posted. We call these people 'Inrkers' Al­ though the term sounds bad, it really isn't. Frequently it is better when you are a new subscriber to listen' first before commenting. This is a way to have more context to the discussions on-line, Newbiestothe net are often attacked for asking questions that have already been frequently asked. Discussion topics live like the tides of the ocean.

Colosio Continued from fmve 1

The "LA connection" is based on Mr Marline/, the alleged ac­ complice. Prior to living in the Tijuana area. Mr. Martinez lived in an area near Los Angeles harbor where gang activity is prevalent. The .38 caliber pistol used to kill Colosio is believed to be of Los Angeles origin. These gangs are being investigated by the FBI to determine if they had any involve­ ment in the assassination.

Although the above three theo­ ries are very interesting, there is a fundamental flaw' in assuming that the respective implicated parties would be better off with Colosio dead. Professor Jackson (RBE: Latin America) thinks that the as­ sassination waspulledoffbyasingle. distraught individual. The rationale behind his opinion is that Mexico is in a decade of economic duress; there are many dissatisfied people who blame the PR I party for the dire economic situation. Thus. Colosio. as the PRI's presidential candidate, would be the likely target ot aggres­ sion aimed at the PR1.

Professor Jackson di scou nts the "hard-liner theory", because he doubtsthat the hard liners were dis­ satisfied by democratic and social reforms to such an extent that they would conspire to kill Colosio. The current President Carlos Salinas. also a member of the PRI. selected Colosio as his successor after con­ sulting with the party, so the hard­ liners had ampleopportunity to voice theirdissatisfactions with the candi­ date. Afinal incentive for PRI mem­ bers not to kill Colosio at this time is that the choices for a replacement candidate are severely limited: all potential candidates are required by Mexican law to resign from govern­ ment posts six months before the election. Because thisdcadlinewas in late February, all current govern­ ment officials are ineligible to run

for President A replacement for Colosio has been selected: F.mesto "/edillo Colosio'scampaign man­ ager. Zedi llo is promoting Colosio's democratic and social reforms: thus nothing has been gained by the hard liners on the social and democratic fronts. Professor Jackson also sur­ mised that if on the odd chance the "hard-line" theory proves correct, it w ill have a significant destabilizing effect on Mexico.

In professor Jackson's opin­ ion, the "Zapatista theory" is illogi­ cal, because Colosio was dedicated to implementing social and demo­ cratic reforms that would improve the situation of the "Zapatistas". Furthermore, if the "Zapatista" rebels carried out the assassination, the .Mexican government would wipe them out: thus providing an incentive not to kill Colosio.

The "LA connecti on" al so does not seem probable to Professor Jack­ son; he likened this aspect of the conspiracy theory to the likes of Lincoln and Kennedy. The prob­ lem with assassination theories is that they generally breed increas­ ingly radical and complicated theo­ ries. In academic circles, there is still speculation as toapossible con­ spiracy in the Lincoln assassina­ tion. The Kennedy assassination is perhaps the most notorious assassi­ nation case, and analysts are still coming up with new theories of "who killed Kennedy".even though the event happened thirty years ago.

While most business strategists will find the Caribou Bones algo­ rithm impractical. Peters' point is worth consideration: Managers need to think more about the down­ side of a single-minded pursuit of predictable generic strategies such as differentiation or cost-leadership.

What's News-

copper Prices Surge as Labor Claims Victory

The price of Arizona Copper, a major input for the cartel's German manufacturing subsidiary, rose nearly 20% as copper miners pushed through a ban of controversial cop­ per extraction technology.

The introduction of the Ex-Cop II automated extractor, sold by InfoPac of Phoenix, earlier this year had enabled Arizona copper pro­ ducers to cut costs by up to 30%, mainly by laying off miners. How­ ever, copper miners organized an effective campaign against the new technology and managed to gamer enough political support to obtain a temporary ban of the Ex-Cop II on the grounds that safety testing of the device was not thorough enough.

Much of the credit for the ban is going to Federal Reserve Chairman Dick Mahoney. Mahoney'sSenate victory in Arizona was due in large part, say analysts, to the support he received from organized labor in response to his promises to negoti­ ate a fair deal for the displaced min­ ers. "Mahoney is on our side," said one elated miner. "We can thank him for our jobs."

Copper producers are. predict­ ably, up in arms. "This may put a few more miners back to work, but our customers might start looking somewhereelse ifwecan'tkeepour prices down." said Zeke Crenshaw. Chiefof MiningOperationsat Mag­ num Copper Co.

Economic Report F.flh Period Second Quarter 1995

The United Kingdom:Despite an interest rate cut from

5.18% to 4.76%, the pound appreci­ ated to 1.7204dollars perpound (up from 1.56W). Analysts said this jump probablyreflected short pound positions being squeezed out of the market. Additionally, FX investors fearing uncertainty as to the direc­ tion of US monetary policy bought pounds to protect their positions.

With falling interest rates, the UK economy grew faster than ex­ pected last quarter. According to government figures. GDP grew by 18% this quarter compared with theearlierestimateof2.5%. Invest­ ment by UK pension funds, insur- ancecompanies, investment and unit ousts shot up, reflecting the rebuild­ ing of personal savings and a switch by savers away from cash and into securities. At the same time, the lagging job market is starting to recover.

The fortunes of the UK economy are clearly running con­ trary to those of its former PM and Iron Lady Maggie Thatcher, who collapsed during a recent appear­ ance at the American Graduate School of International Manage­ ment.

GermanyFollowing intense negotiations

last week, about 500,000 German construction workers agreed to re­ ceive 1 per cent pay rises this year. The award is the biggest so far this year, but is still far below forecast inflation of 13 per cent. ThelGBau union and the industry's two em­ ployers' federationshavetoapprove the deal formally by next month.

In spite of these modest wage settlements, negotiations between labor and management in other major sectors of the economy ended up in a complete deadlock. Union leaders have called construction workers "traitors" for accepting a wage increase below expected in­ flation. Labor demonstrations con­ tinued across the country, ending in violent confrontations with police in Frankfurt.

Management from carte! com­ panies have adamantly refused to enter into negotiations with labor. Recent increases in the cost of ma­ terials have aggravated the situa­ tion. Copper prices returned to their high levels after mining companies were forced to discontinue use of the Ex-Cop II extractor (see related article on this page).

Data released by the Bundesbank are showing modest signs of recovery. but continued fears of inflation led the German Central Bank to tighten monetary policy slightly. Bundesbank president, Mr. Hans Tietmeyer, declared that "the Bundesbank has adopted a cautious approach regarding interest rates."

The United States:Markets were stunned by tur­

moil at the Federal Reserve as Chair­ man Greenspan resigned and recent Senate winner Dick Mahoney was named as his replacement. Inflation for the quarter came in higher than expectations and forecasts highlight further increases.

In spite of rising interest rates, market uncertainty regarding Fed policy helped push the dollar sharply lower against the pound and deutschmark.

Mahoney's surprise nomina­ tion to the Fed followed his recent Senate victory in Arizona. Although Greenspan was not due to retire until 1996. mounting pressure from political and market forces com­ pelled him to leave his position early.

Mahoney campaigned and won the race for US Senate, then almost immediately accepted President Clinton's nomination as Alan Greenspan's replacement at the Fed Mahoney gained notoriety during his campaign when he mimicked SylvesterStallone's Rocky fighting Apollo Creed (AKA Alan Greenspan)at the opening of Planet Hollywood in Phoenix.

The other nominee for the Fed Board of Governors was Gordon Yeager. which seemed to soften the impact of "the Mahoney Factor". Financial columnist Dan Partlow of the Washington Post called the Yeager nomination "the saving grace" for the Fed.

SUMMARY

The "Mahoney Effect" was clearly felt through the currency markets in the fourth period with the dollar depreciating sharply against both the pound and deutschmark. Rising fears of higher inflation and uncertainty surrounding the impact of"Easy-Money-Mahoney"on US monetary policy placed the dollar under heavy downward pressure.

Cartel member's FX results reflected the volatility with several firms, who were running open long dollar positions, recording losses in excess of S10.0 million. Yet. more than half the cartel experienced FX gains reflecting, what our writer heard was, a mix of strong forecast­ ing abilities and conservative u.se of FX management instruments.

The all-important rankings re­ veal a new leader in the midst Sanioru 5 inc. captured trie no. I position with a new share price of $83.66. Ironically, ihey were our feature firm in period 2. so 59th Avenue Journal wriiers request a slice of the profits from investors who took note of our pick and in­ vested in Sanford stock. The firm's new brew will apparently be marked with warnings that prolonged usage is bad for your physical health How­ ever, in view of the firm's recent stellar stockmarket performance, the brew is certainly good tor vour fi­ nancial health.

Boro Board Ski Corp. has been extremely successful with its newly- launched Desert Boards and expec­ tations of huge sales in Australia's Outback, have sent the firm's stock price soaring. Itsnewpriceof$83.45 puts Boro only $0.21 behind cartel leader. Sanford 5. Board fans can catch a glimpse of the new desert boards in action in the upcoming Roadwarrior/Mad Max sequel which features Mel Gibson riding a desert board in pursuit of herd of kangaroos.

TJ's. AKA TJI Fridays has successfully reappeared from near fatal Chapter 11 Bankruptcy pro­ ceedings to grab the third ranking. For the last few periods, TJ's has been vigiriously defending a law­ suit from TGI Fridays that its TJI Fridays was an entirely different restaurant chain, originating from Norway.

Our feature firm of the period is The Jaws of Life whose consistent performance has seen it remain popular among portfolio investors looking for sustainable earnings. Its stock price of $71.98 sees it holding onto the no.6 ranking. The harsh winter in the East Coast has seen a dramatic increase in auio wrecks therefore ensuring strong demand for its "Jaws of Life" equipment. Interestingly. Arizona, which has experienced a recent spate of thun­ derstorms has been a popular desti­ nation for "The Jaws ofLife" equip­ ment. Arizonians drivers, who are notedfor their excellent wet weather driving skills (NOT), have become big beneficiaries of the equipment.

The Paperby Wolf Kitchen

Despite objections from such respected publications as the New York Times and the Washington Post. "The Paper" is by no means a glorification of sleazy tabloid jour­ nalism. Instead ii offers a humorous insight into 24 hours of the life of metre editor Henry Hackett. played by Michael Keaton.

Having missed a big murder story the night before. Keaton and his crew Editor in Chief Bemie White (Robert Duvall). Managing Editor Alicia Clark (Glen Close) and reporter/columnist McDougal (Randy Quaid) are faced with a big dilemma: Thev don't want to gel bear on the follow-tin

Though the cri me appears to be racially motivated. Keaion has -i tip thai indicates the mob wasinvolved. His boss. Close, however, wants to splash the arrested boys' picture on the front page with the word "Gotcha" in big bold letters, and doesn't care about Keaton's theories Keaton has no proof of the boys' innocence, but wants to take the siory further. Close, who plays another ice-cold, tough character, is more worried about missed deadlines and costs than .ibout the truth SheielN Ke.itnn to go uith the siory they have .aid noi to worry about anything else. Keaton. however, doesn't agree with hisboss'sopinion. "We make them criminals today and heroes tomor­ row." and decides that he doesn't want to be wrong. He decides to go for the truth. As if that isn't hard enough, as he is trying to juggle the boss, the story, the reporters, office problems and his own job inter­ view, he faces another distraction.

His very pregnant wife (Marisa Tornei) is struggling with her own conflict between missing her iast- pacedreportingjobatthe New York Sun and wanting her husband to leave his position for another job with more regular hours and better pay.

"The Paper" develops an inter­ esting plot and intelligent dialog. Keaton's performance is intense and Marisa Tomei is brilliant. Close. Duvall and Quaid complement the cast and their performances help make the film a winner.

"The Paper" neither deifies nor indicts tabloids or newspapers in general. It does, however, offer an inside peek at the hectic, ruffled lives journalists lead. It shows the ethical dilemmas and compromises journalists have to face and their struggle to find balanced personal lives when ink is coursing through iheir veins at heart-attack rates.

Men in while flannel, ported strategically across an oval green field.

Depending on your degree of Anglophilia, cricket is usually perceived, at best, as a dreamy. preppy backdrop for a new Mer­ chant - Ivory movie or. at worst, as another pointless peculiarity spread by a flailing hegemon

Cricket is the epitome of decorum, stasis and slow progress (the English way?!) and has a par­ ticular fascination and charisma. At this stage, a compari son of this user- friendly sport with her American sister. Baseball, may be useful.

Baseball originated by hitting balls with sticks, w hi le Cricket meta­ morphosed from country boys throwing stones at tree trunks and sheep fences, illustrating a univer­ sal. trans-Atlaniic human desire to pursue things deep and challenging.

- IBYou've Came a Long Way — Maybe

At the risk of or perhaps in spite of beating a dead horse, I want to add another line to the dialog about sexism. It's not that I was particularly ruffled about the original joke that stoned this whole discussion I know, as I think most of us here do. that no one on this campus (certainly not ASLC) really feels that women belong in the kitchen. We. as women, know we that are changing our roles and that our bounds are disappearing.

I thought I would just let the matter drop, but last week, as I sat in the Library.l noticed the cover of the March 28.1994issue of USNews and World Report. Big. bold letters declared 'The War Against Women.' It turned out to be a 10-page article about the violence, poverty and abuse of women around the world. This ranges from plain- old discrimination, harassment and inequality, to bride-burning, ac­ cepted rape and gender-based abortion. Then, Tuesday. March 29th's Wall Street Journal contained a front page story about the inequity in management positions, advancement and pay between men and women. It's not just a silly matter about a tasteless joke in a neu sletter on a small Arizona campus. It's an issue.

I have to say a word in defense of those who were offended ana spoke out. For the reader who wrote that there is not enough humor in this world Right you are! However, we women only wish we could hear a sexist or degrading joke and laugh at 'thewayit usedtobe.' At Thunderbird, »e uliimalcly beiieve in ourselves and our ability to succeed. If w-e didn't, we wouldn't be here. But a- we stand in Graduation Ceremonies looking forward to our future- in International Business, we know that there isa great chance that u e w ill face sexism, discrimination and harassment many (many. man;.' i times dunng our careers. It is not just 'the way it used to be.' and that's why its not funny

Lettere

To the Editor.The ASLC would like to

clarify recent erroneous informa­ tion primed in a past letter to the editor. Thunderground was funded S90 at the beginning of the semester to help it get going. This funding was meant to sup­ port a student run project: it does not mean that the ASLC supports or believes everything printed in Thunderground This publication had actually used up all its ASLC funds after the first issue, and will have to petition for funds at ihe beginning of the next semester. Future funding is obviously based on past performance, as is any other ASLC funding for events/ projects of the student body.

The ASLC would also like to take this opportunity to stress the fact that we support freedom of speech for all. whether or not we agree with what is being said. As was stated by Voltaire: "I may not apree with what you nre say­ ing, but I will defend to the death >our right to ->ay it." We do not want to feel as if we must censor students' freedom of expression, in any form. Please remember, that Thunderbird isa unique place, with a unique student body com- posi lion. We feel that each of us is capable of making up our own minds about what we see. hear. and believe

This is not to say that we believe that controversy on any matter should be suppressed: on the contrary, debate in and of iisdt i*. an expression of tree speech.

TO THE EDITOR:The international flavor of

our student body second in diversity to none is Thunderbird's greatest asset. .Men on campus complain about "the ratio," yet the class that entered in Fall of '93 contrib­

uted to our uniqueness with a larger percentage of women than any other graduate business program. Congrats.T-birds! A learning envi­ ronment like ours exists nowhere else in the workL

During the past month. Thunderground published a "joke" at the expense of women in "honor" oflntematkmal Women's Day. One editorial in Das Tor attempted to justify making fun at the expense of others" misfortune as a last frontier for humor, while a second managed to link ThundergmuruTs humor to Nazism, and then accused to ASLC of supporting such behavior. Re­ joice, fellow cinzeas of the U.S.! The Bill of Rights live on! The freedom to engage in this type of dialogue is one of our country's greatest assets.

Though most of my compatri­ ots consider theUS.tobetheworkJ's greatest land and U.S. citizens to be the world's greatest peopte. I will be the fifji io recognize our many short­ comings. Arguably our worst is the chip that we have on our collective shoulder. We love to be "Number 1": If we feel threatened or iasecure about our position, or are simply tired oflooking up. we do our best to cutouropposin'ondown. Thismakes us feel better about ourselves, but we are insensiti ve to the damage we cause: As children we taunt the fat and ugly kids on the play ground As adults we invade, dissect and then destroy the lives of our leaders, sports stars, and entertainers. As a nation, our past and present history Is lit­ tered with racism, prejudice and aggression In spite of our great achievements, our country is also capable of pathetic acts.

To the publishers of Thunderground who intention­ ally belittled women on a day hon­ oring women I offer you this challenge: Publish N**«" jokes during Black History Month; salute Adolf Hitler to commemorate die anniversary of Kristallnacht. Then, see how many people support your poorly written, uncreative, gram­ matically inept, typo-filled rag. It

frightens me to imagine how many people still would

To the women on campus. I will not tell you mat I understand how women feel, because I can't, nor will 1 say that 1 know how women feel, because I don't. What I do know, is that after my mom picked me up from the principal's office (after I success­ fully avenged a tasteless Jewish joke with my fists), her advice to me was this: "Do not stoop to 'their' level. lastead rise above it.andsetaproperexample. Never give your antagonists the satis­ faction of a response." Nothing hurts a person begging for atten­ tion more than to be ignored If you feel the need to tell someone that you find his/her behavior of­ fensive and/or unacceptable, do so. But then, move on and bring about change where it is possible: Think globally, act locally

The hardest thing for me to accept, is that despite all past and present efforts, anti-semitism will always exist. I am constantly reminded that because I am Jew­ ish, people who don't know me, hold me in contempt because of the faith that I was raised to up­ hold

This situation is not unique to Judaism. What distresses me. is why students at an institution dedicated tobridgingcultural gaps can't apologize when the feelings of a repressed minority are hurt instead these "humorists''take the easy way out and ask, "Can't you take a joke?"

White. Anglo-Saxon. Prot­ estant Males in the U .S. enjoy the world's greatest standard of liv­ ing andopportunibes for advance­ ment I do not hold them in contempt, nor will I contribute "WASP jokes to demean their position. I will not stoop to that level.

Inspiration, Perspiration, and Unrequited Love

At leas! once in your life, you meet a lovely wu/i.v ; /'/ / w/io you fin J 10 he the essence of beauty. You fall head over lieel\. tilting at windmills, acting like a complete doofus. and writing poems to iln\ Dutcinea del Toboso, v,'ht> pmbahh isn 't even tnvare \ou 're alive

Quixotically. 1 wrote the following poem fora young Mexican girl when I first came to the United States from Ireland. Her parents were Catholic, and I was impressed by her culture. Her mother was the author of a hook entitled El symbolico de la Apparicion de la Virgin de Guadalupe. which was based upon Gaston Bachelard's Symbolism of the four elements: Fire. Water. Earth and Air. Just thinking of Paulina. I ended up with 12 pages of research. The poem took a painstaking four weeks to write: 10* inspiration and 90% perspiration. 1 offered the poem to her for her birthday; she looked at it. said "Thanks", and put it down never to look at it again. Oh the pangs of unrequited love.

"Now we see through a glass darkly..." 1 Corinthians 13:12

On the dark, calm waves where constellations Sleep, the pale moon floats like a giant lily. Speckled reflections issue, o'er which reeds incline: Being bound by a silent nenuphar1 .

From beyond the waters, a strangled voicePrecedes a messenger: he bears a caduceus: .And tidings of the vital gift of light.Which with hope and faith, transcend the mimed word.

Docile Earth awakes, revealing all her Beauteous mysteries to an ama/ed world. By a furrow, clutching her awn', the Virgin Consents once more to be held and cherished.

So gentleman, remember that youth is wasted on the young, and that poetry in not necessarily always tlie best way to a woman's heart. PJ. O'Rourke is probably right: Work hard, get a good job. and you'll probably" have better luck with a Mercedes 350SL convertible than with a poem.

by David Vinokur, President. Thunderbird Environmental Club

Like Sidhartha pondering the sounds and meanings of Hesse's lugubrious river, citizens of the world are oh-soslowly pulling our collective headsoutof the ground, and facing up to the fact that our natural environment, and the be­ nign and callous harm that we visit upon it. has an increasing impact on the way we live and do business. So much so. in fact, that sound corpo­ rate policy today must include con­ tingencies and provisions for envi­ ronmental impacts. This semester. Thunderbird's students have a unique opportunity to experience the diverse and rich nature of the I'nited State'sen vironmental move­ ment RIGHT HEREONCAMPl'S! This Apnl 16th . the Thunderbird Environmental Club is sponsoring our EARTH DAY FESTIVAL" Earth Day represents the world's grandest coalition united in an envi­ ronmental cause. Earth Day was started in 1970. amidst the political and social upheaval of the times, by Dennis Haves, a Harvard I'nixer- sity student. Spumed by his frustra­ tion with mounting social unrest. Mr. Haves decided to organi/e a one day festival to celebrate our beautiful and fragile planet and to raise awareness of critical environ­ mental issues we all must pay atten­ tion to, such as water and air pollu­ tion, natural resource waste and overpopulation.

On April 22nd, 1970 (and ev­ ery .April 22nd since then!, thou­ sands of people in most major cities of the United States came together

for oneday. to share information about the diversity of environmental groups and organizations. Thanks to Mr, Haves' efforts, more than 24 years ago. today we run e an annual tradi­ tion that brings every side of the I'nited State's (and indeed, the world's) environmental movement together.

The Earth Day tradition was celebrated with enormous success in 1990. the twentieth anniversary of the first Earth Day. For Earth DaytOOn IVnn!, ll-,<-.> x-n>ill.u4tn<«uk.*». , ,.,,*.,*,.,.< >.. u>,^S t'ui.^u>ue.>.>in,>

11 on people spending one day rais­ ing their understanding of ecologi­ cal issues, and actively helping to better our environment.

In essence. Earth Day is the grass-roots version of 1992*s Envi­ ronmental Rio Summit, except un­ like the politicians at Rio who barely agreed on common language. let alone policy, the Earth Day coali­ tion accomplishes HUGE

amounts, even one day each vear. Today, each major city in the world has an independent Earth Day orga­ nization, which operates under it's own guidelines and by laws. Here in Phoenix, the Thunderbird Envi­ ronmental Club is an active member of Earth Day Arizona, a stateu ide outgrowth of Eanh Day 1990. John Sanford. the chair of Eanh Day Ari­ zona, states that in the past tour years, diverse interests have joined together to form the most broad- based and far-reaching coalition of ecological minded groups and busi­ nesses m the history of Arizona For tfv- AGSfVf FARTH DAY FESTI­ VAL, the ThundetWrd Environmen­ tal Club has planned dozens ofenu- ronmental booths with day-long live music, arts & crafts, speakers and free food and drink! Such interna­ tional I y renow n corporations as The Body Shop and Waste Management will have representatives at their booths to meet and discuss with us the necessity of combining business with ecological protection.

We will have a sign-up to par­ ticipate in the Thunderbird Adopt- A-Highway program, w-here we spend several hours every other month cleaning our designated two- mile stretch of highway. You can learn about our top-notch Thunder- bird Recycling PropanT.which.over the past two years has become a model for resource and waste con­ trol in the Phoenix Valley. You can also meet several Thunderbird graduates who will be speaking about their environmental careers; one at the retail, grass-roots level, and the other at the not-for-profit level. The director of The Body Shop-Phoenix will also speak dur­ ing our festival. Don't miss this excellent opportunity to learn about the face of environrnentalism in the 1990's. Cometoyour THUNDER- BIRD EARTH DAY FESTIVAL, all afternoon at the pool. Saturday. April 16th. See you at the festival, and don't forget to bring your own beer cup!
