DAS TORAUDITORIUM AV-1 CLOSED

By Cole JonesSeen Coleman Lounge lately?

You may have noticed the new alarm system and attractive bars on the windows and then wondered what evil lurked behind them. Con­ trary to rumor, it is not a holding tank for captured international felons; instead it has the distinc­ tion of being the new location of the AV-l room home of Thunder- bird's IBM personal computers.

"What's the matter with the old AV-1 room?" you may ask, "and what happened to the auditorium?" The short answer is that they have been closed. A somewhat longer and more ac­ curate answer is that the trusses supporting the roof have cracked and been judged unsafe. The building was inspected by director of physical plant. Bob Watts, the architect retained by the school, and independent structural engineers; it was condemned by Otf structural engineer and closed

" " **

the building poses no immediate danger in its present condition.

The rest of the building, which includes the coffee shop and dining hall, is still structurally sound. Careful inspection revealed DO fur­ ther problems. While it is difficult

to determine exactly why the trusses supporting the auditorium roof failed, the problem is essen­ tially one of age. When built, the structure was intended to be tem­ porary. Erected in 1941 to serve the air base, it was only expected to last the duration of World War II.

The dilemma now is not when the building will be reopened but if it will be reopened at all. Apparently the cost of repairing the damaged trusses is just slightly less than that of building a new structure. There src severs! options under consideration: first, the building could be repaired; second, it could be torn down and rebuilt; third, a new auditorium could be built elsewhere; fourth, the east hangar (between the Financial Aids Office and the Post Office i could be renovated to house the auditorium and other facilities. The ad­ ministration is now weighing the relative benefits of each option

WHERE IS PROF. HALL?

Students who signed up for Pro­ fessor Hall's I.T-A. and Interna­ tional Marketing Management courses received a surprise upon their return. The courses remain­ ed, but the instructor had changed. What happened to Professor Hall? Rumors started circulating. In its reporting, Das Tor endeavors to present news in a fair and timely manner; with regard to Professor

Hall's absence, we feel that there is not enough conclusive informa­ tion to warrant a story. To quote Dr. Geer, "Professor Hall is on an official leave of absence." When asked if Professor Hall would be returning. Dr. Geer suggested con­ tacting Professor Hall. Professor Hall cemented that be is merely "on leave and hopes to return."

WINTERIM 1987

One of the key attractions of Winterim is the opportunity for students to visit with executives, Raymond Mains, Associate Comptroller, Internation, for Procter & Gamble, is shown above (center) with students Samar Majumdar and Grace Dicker. Mains was a visiting lecturer in the International Con­ sumer Marketing Seminar, one of five World Business Department seminar*; offered during Wintenm

Trade, The Middle East, Interna­ tional Economy and Trans-Border Data Flow. This year's forum, East-West Trade: Opportunities and Obstacles, will be held April 3- 4. An all day series of panels and lectures will include more than twenty speakers and four Soviet delegates.

By Michael Marhoefer - Wtale many students spent their vacations languishing on ski slopes or lukewarm beaches, scores of corporate executives and pro­ fessors flocked to the campus in droves to participate in this year's Winterim programs.

According to director of com­ munications, Nelda Crowell. 356 students interacted with 60 visiting executives and 16 Presidential Fellows to create an atmosphere which one new student termed "an introduction to the school without the big crowds."

Every student interviewed reacted positively when asked about the program.

The campus rage belonged to WB-459 "International Purchasing and Countertrade," a new course which attracted much attention among visiting executives and students. A memorable moment arrived on the January 14 Pub en­

counter between Continental Gram VP, Paul Smoien and his beer- drinking (free) audience as sides traded notes on countertrader's strategies.

Student Jaime Saavedra provid­ ed course insights calling it "an ex­ cellent class with many high quali­ ty speakers," but chafed at the overabundance of "theoretical" speakers who avoided unveiling any real secrets on countertrading strategies. Worse yet was the "don't even bring your tape recorder" attitudes of some guest lecturers, letting down their hair but refusing to provide scissors in the process. Saavedra thought that the "speakers were impressed" with the quality of the student questioners and this virtually reassures the future success of the program.

Jeff Gunzelman. a new student from the U of A, commented positively when asked about IS-310,

but was perplexed about the cancellation of toe Agribusiness Seminar. After inviting many specialists and guest speakers it indeed reflects poorly on planners who cannot guarantee quorums for sucn seminars. Other casualties in­ cluded perennial guest lecturer mainstays Patrick Duffy, MP and Dr. Guntber Wagenlehner, whose IS-S02 seminars attracted a meager ten students, down substantially from previous years.

While Patrick Duffy's class sip­ ped Darjeeling. Dr. Gunnila Masreliez-Steen's group was pro­ vided wftb free coffee. It rained oc­ casionally, but just think of the am­ ple parking. Expensive, though rewarding, the Winterim program remains the crown jewel of the cur­ riculum and forces thinking students to match their wits against many of the nation's (if not the world's) best trained minds.

OPENING CEREMONYBy Joseph Cabigao

The Opening Ceremony was held at the Thunderbird Activity Center (TAG) on February 1 to mark the start of the Spring 1987 term.

The occasion began at 7 p.m. with the traditional parade of na­ tions. Representatives from over sixty countries carrying tbeir respective flags marched through the center aisle, donning tradi­ tional costumes providing a pageantry of colors. Greetings in various languages were also delivered by the representatives.

In her opening remarks. Associate Students Legislative Council (ASLC) president Benita Boettner urged new and returning students to draw on the school's unique resources: the faculty, the staff and the alumni. She also said that students should be able to grow with friendship with fellow students which exemplify the world. Ms. Boettner stressed that the school, which is a miniature United Nations, should offer the students unequalled opportunity to

fully develop their academic, social and personal skills. Students here "work hard and play hard," she said.

Dr. William Voris, president of the school, delivered an inspiring speech. He welcomed the students to the 20,000-strong alumni and stu­ dent body. The president soothed some students' worries by saying that although some professors are difficult, they are also fair. At one point his speech was interrupted by laughter when he said that "the guy sitting next to you is not your friend; he's your competitor." Dr. Voris underscored the fact that ninety percent of the school's alumni around the world are suc­ cessful in their own fields. To help the students succeed in school and in the intensely competitive global economic field, be offered three pieces of advice: accept the school's tripartite curriculum as a model and pragmatic program; work hard and remember that the professors are fair and willing to

listen; and last but not least, have fun.

The president acknowledged the presence of Professor Donald Schmidt, chairman of World Business, Professor Mary Anne Critz, chairman of Modern Languages and Professor Joaquun Dijarte Jr., chairman of Interna­ tional Studies. Mr. Berger Erickson, the school's executive vice president, delivered a brief outline of the school's history. One of the school's founders, be recall­ ed the number of significant events in the school's forty-year ex­ istence, occasionally injecting some humor.

A Thunderbird alumnus also gave a brief but inspirational talk praising the unique and relevant program here. He compared it to other business schools and com­ mended the international ex­ perience of faculty members.

The ASLC committee members were introduced and gratitude was expressed to the Orientation Com­ mittee for doing a fine job.

2 opinion,

EDITORIALThe opinions as expressed in last week's The Best and Worst of

Thunderbird survey are just that, opinions; not opinions of the editors or myself, but of the 160 students who responded to our open question: "Who do you consider the 10 best and worst teachers and why?"

The responses were tabulated by the author, and reviewed by the editor. The professors who made the final list did so because they receiv­ ed both a large number of votes and in almost all cases, no offsetting votes for the alternate category. The few quotes published for each pro­ fessor were selected by the author based upon the consistency of student opinion.

Das Tor recognizes the subjectivity of such responses, and therefore published the article under the heading OPINIONS. As editor, I apologize to those persons who find the wording offensive; the original article was heavily edited, but the sentiments expressed shouldn't be surprising. Of­ ficial teacher evaluations poll the same student population and the results can be viewed in ASLC, and will be on professors desks soon.

My only regret is that the responses are probably more of a popularity contest than a measurement of teaching competence. As expected, the "best" profs are most often those who are entertaining and amicable. while "worst" profs are called boring. Das Tor recognizes the difference between education and entertainment within the classroom, and printed the survey results without claiming that they were anything more than student opinion.

SEETISTANBUL

Snow. So heavy, so wet, so cold! Yet, despite my frozen Nikes, starboard and facing into the wind, I stood mesmerized. Minarets and domes rhythmically scat­ tered both European and Asian banks. The Bospborous Strait, Mack and stormy, con­ jured up a tale of an entire harem shackl­ ed, bagged and dropped overboard. As if to emphasize the chin, Topkapi, the palace of the Ottoman Sultans, loomed in the distance. Alone, zigzagging towards the Black Sea, my thoughts continued to wander. Initially, Istanbul merely meant easy access to Bulgaria. Yet ten days later, Sofia still remained a twelve hour bus ride a way.

Visions of certain neighborhoods rose before my eyes. Prowling about the old ci­ ty, I felt alive. Conceivably, my animated state could have grown out of the realiza­ tion that often I seemed to be the only woman in Istanbul. Perhaps it was tbe weather. I do know that summer visitors tend to have a different experience. However, I felt no apprehension. Harass­ ment appeared to be a foreign concept I remembered a sunny afternoon under tbe Galata bridge, lunching with Turkish mariners on grilled fish and scalding, sick­ ly sweet coffee.

Smiling I remembered mornings wandering through tbe world's largest covered bazaar, drinking Turkish liquid with rag merchants; drifting through Sultan's harems; staring at Topkapi's rubies, diamonds and daggers; and many times around 10:30 taking a pudding break usually pistachio.

Images of Hollywood parties, Turkish style floated through my mind. Breaking into a smile, I remembered the ride that introduced it all. Towards tbe end of tbe first week I caught a bus into the new city, Asia. I bad noticed an advertisement for "Le Cage Aux Folles" and thought it would be fun to see the show in Turkish. Holding the ripped poster in my hand, I mimed my intentions to the bus driver. The bus rolled with laughter. At that moment 1 decided to catch the next coach to Sofia. Then I beard, "Hey doll face! No need to worry you're going my way." Only a Califomian

could come up with that line Southern, no doubt. What time did that Bulgaria bus leave? I was right on both counts, but I was wrong in doubting his sincerity. Bill's flat­ mate turned out to be Turkey's most popular film and theater star. BiU im­ mediately took me backstage to meet Ali and the rest of the actors. He then proceed­ ed to lead me to two reserved box seats tbe best in the bouse. The next few days were a blur. Ali and Bill filled my nights with Turkish dancing, extravagant parties aboard someone's yacht, and dinners lasting often until sunrise.

One afternoon waking up after a par­ ticularly radiant dinner, I realized I bad only four days left. Four days before I had to return to Cairo, to class, to study. I had to go to Bulgaria. After all, it has taken me six weeks and twice as many visits to tbe Bulgarian Embassy to obtain my visa. Besides, I wanted to ski. There is this tram in the heart of Sofia that climbs this moun­ tain ...but that's another story.

Staring into the Bosphorous, aware of the few hours remaining, I felt no loss. Caught, held fast, I knew I would return.

Travel Tips:

The place to stay: Hotel Gungor. Located in Sultanahmet tbe heart of the old city. Inexpensive. $5/night, 1983.

The place to eat: The Pudding Shop. Next door to tbe Hotel Gungor. Serves a variety of Turkish specialties. Abdulla. Located half way up the Bospborous in Emirgan Hills. Seafood delights. Moderate and delicious.

Things to do: Ferry up the Bosphorous, wander through tbe Grand Bazaar, in­ dulge in a Turkish bath, barter with rug merchants, explore Topkapi, avoid beyin salata.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Apology demandedFreedom of speech and the right to express publidy our opinions is one of

the pillars of the American democracy, but this right should not be used in order ta discredit a person publicly. The nghts of an individual end when the rights of others are infringed.

The artide written by Ed YaniM and published in Das Tor in the edition of February 2nd, 1987 is an inexcusable offense Oat, by all means, can not be permitted. Mr. Yaniki, slander is a very serious crime.

I know that the great majority of our students are very responsible and mature, and, thanks God, don't have the narrow mentality and the lack of knowledge abort tbe rights of the people as it has been represented in the above mentioned article. I am sure that a great number of our students fed ashamed of this low class kind of artide. In view of this, I demand from Das Tor and from Mr. Yaniki a public apology to ihe faculty members so maliciously and irresponsibly discredited.

Third, not aQ tbe rules and regulations on campus can be considered perfect. I will be >""innTii/.aHng a ]o( with the security office and tbe students regarding mis matter. Hey c'mon, mat's what I'm " here for, right?

So mere you have it folks, tbe first om-

huh? I'm trying to sound really friendly in this report because that is bow I want you guys to think of me, as a friend. If you have any problems, be it with faculty or ad­ ministration, do stop by the ASLC office. Do you want rice at toe dining hall? Are you requesting more classes? Is your roommate transmitting coded messages to the KGB or other dark forces? I will make it a point to be in my room frotn2:00 to 3:00 every day rain or shine.

In dosing, I would like to welcome the new students. Don't forget to register your cars with security now. And for my com- paneros, tbe returning students, welcome back to camp Thunderbird. I nope everybody had a nice Christmas break and is well rested, ready to face tbe challenges ahead.

ByRonnieSy-Facunda Yesterday, ! introduced myself to

security as the new ombudsman. Rodney, the person in charge, told me that he was going to snow me around the campus. At first I felt uneasy because to me they were tbe "bad guys" and that it would be just another lecture-kind of activity where he'll show me the rules and regulations around campus. It turned out to be an eye-opening experience for me. I learned three things from tbe trip.

First, as Rodney explained, each traffic rule may appear to be a hindrance to us but the stop signs that stow you down (whenever you reach a junction} are ac­ tually there to make your trips fast. The security people simply make sure everybody is quick without having to rush.

Second, we have some school-mates who have a love for fast cars and live in the fast

THUNDERBIRD RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUBBy Steve Cooke

The Thunderbird RFC (Rugby Football dub) began its Mason this past weekend with a game at Camelback. This spring we will have games almost every weekend, about half being home games. During Winterim we played in the All Arizona Tournament in Tempe. We lost to U of A and then lost to Scottsdale, before finishmg witn a win over U of A's *B' team. It was a good time for is since we didn't even have a full team and had to borrow some players from different teams. It was also good practice since we haven't played since November an! some of the new guys hadn't plaved at all

In addition to our regular pines we will also be having our annual alumni game on March 7th (following a regular season game), and will host the 10th annual Kachina 7s tournament (the oldest 7s tournament to Arizona) on April llth. Our officers for this spring's campaign are Steve Cooke. president; Chris Ritten, vice president; Phil Pittsford, treasurer; John McRoberts, captain, and Roger Potdevm. back's coach. During tte semester we will try to have regular articles in the 0AS TOR describing rugby and how the game is played so that you can learn everything you're always wanted to know about the gasse.

A Brief History of Rugby

Modern rugby football originated quite by accident. In 1823, William Ellis, a stu­ dent at Rugby College, England, was par­ ticipating in an mterclass football < soccer) game. At that time the rules allowed for advancement of the ball only by kicking, with no handling of the ball permitted. Ellis, chagrined over his failure to kick the bouncing ball, picked it up and carried it down field. His captain made profuse apologies for the breach of football ei- quette. But the news of his run with the ball got around and certate players felt that the option of kicking or running with the bail might add zest to a contest.

Up until Ellis* run, Rugby College had never deviated from strict soccer. However, when the play was discussed, it was the custom to refer to it as "that play at Rugby," and eventually it was called "Rugby's game."

It was decided to try rugby as an experi­ ment, and it was ruled that a player could ran with the ball, if caught on the fly or on the first bounce. Players who tried it took an immediate liking to the sport.

In 1841, Rugby College took up play of the game. During the next few years it spread to many other schools.

In 1871, with so many different teams playing rugby, there was a meeting to revise and modernize the code. The rules were standardized, and various national rugby unions were established.

Rugby was introduced to the United States in 1875. While nigby has been atow to catch the public's eye. the U.S. owns the distinction of having won the rugby cham- pioostiip is tfic Olyinplc Gsusss is 192S SfKl 1924.

Historical footnote: "Give Blood Play Rugby" is often seen on the bumper of a rugger's automobile ... what's it mean? That rugby is a rough sport and to play you mustgiveupyourblood?No. Actually, the phrase was coined in Wisconsin. As tte story goes ...there was a shortage of Wood and upon reading of tte problem in the newspaper, tte local ruggers decided to donate blood for tte cause ... hence, tte phrase "Give Blood Play Rugby."
