Meeting the Global ChallengeAuthor/Executive Outline* the Philosophy of hi* New Book

Karen Habra meets Upjohn Ex­ ecutive and finds answers to "The Global Challenge"

Last week. John R. Riesenberger. an executive of The Upjohn Company, came to campus to speak of a phenomena he referred to as The Global Challenge. Mr. Riesenberger comes with a grand amount of experience: an MBA from Hofstrj University, experience :n the Harvard Senior Management Program and over twenty -two years with The Upjohn Company. He co- wrote "The Global Challenge" with Thunderbird professor Robert Monm. who teaches cross-cultural communication.

Mr. Riesenberger beganhix very dynamic speech by setting ob­ jectives for discussion. He covered globalization. structures dealing viith ii.x impending changes, and reactions to growing global compe­ tition. TheGlobalChallenge" ana­ lyzed forty-two different compa­ nies and made close to three hun­ dred references to published works to help support some of the concepts made in the book. The basic con- ivptuaJ answer for the impending

Bookstore Questions AnsweredBy Lisa R. MitcheUBookstore Committee

A fter several meet ings with Bames and Noble persotmel.The World Busi­

ness Department, The Modem Lan­ guages Department, and The Inter­ national Studies Department, Some answers to the persistent questions regarding Bames and Noble can be given.

The Board of Trustees has taken the complaints regarding Bames and Noble Bookstore very seriously. As of its last meeting, the Board put Bames and Nobles on a one yearptobation, after which time Thunderbird will review Bames and

Noble's progress. If it is not satis­ factory, they may look elsewhere for management of the bookstore.

In response, Bames and NoWe has made several changes, including a change in staff, which JohnLefort. the Regional manager.

believes w'ill have the greatest im­ pact. Bames and Noble is also in the process of installing a new com­ puter system, TextAid, which will put Thunderbird bookstore on line with Bames and Noble stores across the country and will increase the efficiency of the inventory process.

Many of the complaints from students have centered around the long delays for textbooks. Cur­ rently, the bookstore committee is compiling an informational manual that will be on hand in ASLC for student viewing.

In the meantime, here is a brief synopsisofthe process: Bames and Noble has its own company timeline that it uses in terms of or­ dering books. 14 weeks before a new semester. Bames and Noble sends a letter to the individual de­ partments requesting their bookstore orders this includes required and suggested textbooks and any pe­ ripheral materials (i.e. maps). The departments usually have six weeks to return their completed order to Bames and Noble. For the spring 1995 semester, since Bames and Noble had a change in manage­ ment, the departments only had three weeks.

As of the Nov. 30th dead­ line, about half the textbook orders were returned to Bames and Nobles. Bames and Noble processes text­ book orders as they receive them.

but with this deadline. Bames and Noble has eight weeks to get the textbooks on the shelfand allow for unforeseen problems. This is where many problems can occur. If de­ partments have not sent in their or­ ders, the bookstore sends them an e- mail reminder, but take into account the fact thai the secretary of each department compiles the bookstore orders she receives from the profes­ sors, so that person has their own interdepartmental deadline. If a pro­ fessor does not send in his/her book order on time, they are informed that their textbook may be in danger of not being on the shelf in time for the first day of class. Therefore the final responsibility lies with the pro­ fessor.

Barnes and Nobles has no control over how long a book will take to be shipped, and also there are

Time Management 101By Lance Me Andrew

"I'm too busy." "I have too much work to do." "I have so many projects. I'm going to puke." These phrases and more are frequently heard around campus at this time of year. Are you overwhelmed with work'1 Does it seem like you'll ne\er see the end of it"1

Here is a summary of some time management tips from a seminar mv previous company forced me to attend. Hopefully these will help you through this cnd-of-semester crunch. (Plus, you don't have to pay for the seminar)1 Write dov\ n a list of all items that you have to do. Also write down an estimate of how much time it will tike to finish. (This is important) 2. Put them in order of importance (Depending on what's important to vou) You can order them hy due date, or by grade amount, whatever. Pnonn/e them.3 Put them into time slots on your calendar. For example, if you have a 1 1/2 hour break between classes, schedule in a 1 hour task to do in that time.4 As you work on items, cro-*-. them of} your list.5. Pad \our schedule by including procrastination time and personaltime. I Exercise, etc.)By assigning an estimate of time to each item you are better able tounder Jandcxacth how much work is required. By scheduling the itemsinto y our caiend.ii. y ou can see that everything should get done on time.I his help*, to taxe away mat panic feeiing.

If you see thai everything won't get done on time, you can decide which are the least important items. If necessary, you can ahandon those in order to finish the more important things. If you find that a task is taking longer than you had anticipated, or that your motivation isn't there, then you can reschedule it for another time. The key is to not blame yoursel f too much if something doesn' t get done. This * ill just take you down the road to despair and panic.

Example:1) Read 1PE chapter - 1 hour2) Do Finance 1 1/2 hours3) Finish Decision Models Final project. 6 hours. - (split this up into small segments)4) Prepare accounting case -1 hour.Put irk-so ir.r- rirrv ,\ : , f;.. ::: J..;..:.:-..! rc:wj".rvr - put in '.'.me : -: breaks. One way is to take a break utter every hour of work. Failing to take breaks accelerates the burnout process.

These ti me management tips can be very effective for managing a busy schedule. However, some people find that they may not work for their personal schedule. Take what works for you.' Good luck!

The Gate"Wherever we travel, whenever we pass from one country to

another we must go through a gate. However, tbs Cor means more than simply the traversing of borders; it stands as a symbol and artery of communication through the barriers of superstition, ignorance, dogma racism and prejudice; traditional enemies which continue to be a detriment to progress and global peace.

Idealistic though it may sound, it has now become the respon­ sibility of our generation, the future leaders of the international community, to make every effort to widen these gates and succeed where previous generations have failed.

B.i3 tTor must therefore be an open forum for debate, a clearing house of idea.% that may further prepare us for the international community and further augment the reputation of this youthful institution."

News From The Front(Or Ammunition for Your Job Hunt)

By Mark Hard!So here I am two weeks

from graduation and I don't have a job. For some odd reason I get the feeling that I amnot alone. lam sure that everyone is sick and tired of being given advice on how to find a job. I know lam So I will fight fire with fire. Here is my advice. If you don't like it, good, your not sup­ posed to like it. Its Medicine Darnnit.

Anyways. 1 Feel much bet­ ter now after that tirade. The bills piling up on my kitchen table are giving me nightmares. So what to do'1 To paraphrase Ray Davies from the Kinks (You know,. the rock band that sang Lola) there's a little green man (ahem person) running round my brain and he (err she s is scream­ ing get a job you bum. Or was thai my Dad?

Well, here is one piece of advice which the prodigy GA's at career services have not been push­ ing- conference*, seminars, and trade fairs. Say it like the charac­ ters in the \Vi/ard of OZ. Say Lions .and Tigers, and Bears.oh my. Yea that's the ticket. Seriosiy. they are great ways to get leads.

Some ancedotal evidence: The distinguished former editor of this fine publication (read rag sheet) Angela Golledge actually got a job from attending a counter trade con­ ference in Palm Springs. 1 myself procured several cards and gave avvav sevemJ 4110(10: ou :>pcciii_ numbers) resumes at a recent Inter­ active Marketing Conferece in beau­ tiful sunny Paradise Valley.

Now that you are thor­ oughly convinced of the value of conferences, you may have some burning questions on your mind. Uke.howdol found out about these industry "love ins"? And more im­ portantly, how do I get in for free?

First, finding the damn things. Here are some suggestions: Ask around!! It is amazing what people will know about. Ask fellow- students, ask teachers, ask your cat...etc. It actually is a good first date ice breaker, ""So have you heard of any "hot" conferences'Y'You know you really look good in that seminar!!" or "Your trade fair looks

great today."The best way is to consult

one of the zillion industry specific magazines in the IBIC. A real hot one these days is Fire Fighting Ap­ parel Weekly. Just pick your plea­ sure and look way in the back under the calender section. My personal favorites are Billboard and Variety. After all 1 am the (self-designated) Entertainment Editor. A recent is­ sue of Marketing News had no less than 15 Conferences, and four were in Arizona.

So armed with a list of con­ ferences to attend how do you get in'.' Well, if you have cash burning a hole in your pocket, you can simply pay the tee to get in They are not cheap and there is no money hack guarantee. The one I scammedinto for a day cost S64(i tor the three days. Many of these conferences hav e student rates. But they still can run $!<«>or more.

So what to do.' Here are some suggestions: Know some­ body. Relatives work well as do contacts made with professionals v isiting Thunderbird. Call up the organizer and offer to help out with menial tasks the day before the event in return for a complementary pass. Visit the Editor of Da> Tor and eel a battlefield commision as a one off reporter. Then call up the handy telephone number included in the announcemnts and ask for a press pass. It worked loi me in one ot three tries. You can alsr» ca!! the event line and just lay it on the line. I ama student looking fora job. can I get In? You never know. The last desperation move is to try to crash the conference. At the one confer­ ence I went to security was very light.

Getting a job is often being in the right place at the right time. I think it was Woody Alien who said "90% of success is just showing up". So the more avenues you try. the better chance you have of stum­ bling on an opportunity. Good luck and God speed in your job search.

mistakes that do occur. This is why Bames and Noble requests eight weeks, to have ample time to take care of any unforeseen problems that may arise, errors, etc, espe­ cially with foreign books, which can take at least two months to ar­ rive.

On the subject of Case packs and Course packets, as of November 30th. Bames and Noble has ceased using Custom Publish­ ing, ihe outside service they previ- ously utilized to-«eek copyright per­ mission and compile course pack­ ets.

The important factor is thai any material not written by the pro­ fessor using the material and not deemed public domain requires copyright approval. This involves requesting copyright permission each lime the written material i> used ;ind pay mg ro-.alty tees on the copyrighted material

The problems ai Thunder- bird occurred tor several reasons Among them. professors don't see in to be clear on what is considered copyrighted material, Currently Thunderbird lawyers are drawing upa legal document that outlines to faculty what constitutes copyright material. Also. Custom I'lihhshint: was somewhat lax in letting Bames and Noble know if copyright per­ mission was received This caused a

lot of the delays. Also for Harvard Cases. Harvard has die ri ght to refuse copyright permission to anyone

Keep in mind that once the information for the course packets are compiled by Custom Publish- ing. they can not be primed on a regular copier. They are in a format called docatext. which verv few

Also with the case packets

and course packets, a majority of students don't want to pay for what they feel is xeroxed material. Stu­ dents often chip in and boy one packet and then go to a local printer to get copies made - again, a viola­ tion of copyright laws. Bames and Noble gets stuck with the unsold inventory, not to mention the cost they have spent putting the packets on the shelf. This is revenue Bames and Noble usually does not get back, because business materials ages quickly, and professors don't usu­ ally use the same material each se­ mester ami often make changes in the course packet.

In terms of copyright \ lola- ttons. there is a regulating agency that monitors schools to see if they are adhering to copyright laws Needless to s,iy. it would be quite an embarrassment to Thunderbud if we were to be involved in a copy­ right scandal so soon after accredi­ tation Tills regulating organization has already sued Kmko>> and is in the process of bringing litigation on the I Diversity of Michigan.

OFF-CAMPUSConfessions of the Satisfied

An American T'bird in LondonBy Deep Croat

I must confess that I disap­ pointed my fans by saying in my last dispatch that I wouldn't write an­ other'til next year. But too much is new in the world for me not to continue lambasting people in print, and reporting the news in my own sick and twisted style, so here goes...

By now. all you sports fans have heard of Uzbekistan, the little authoritarian dictatorship that could.

In order to separate them­ selves from the dense mob. some people began to vault the exits, and that was all the excuse the cops needed to bash them over the head with nightsticks.

EMIM IV HomecomingKing and Queen Crowed

at Gala

By John L and Julie S.

Rosemary G. and Gordon S. were crowned EMIM IV 1994 Homecoming Queen and King(respectiveIy)a«agaIaWB 8311 classcoffee break on October 15. Gushed Rosemary, "When I was a little girl in South America, we would watch satellite broadcasts ofThe Miss America Pageant each year hoping that one day we might have a chance at such an honor. It is hard to believe that my dreams have come true America is such a wonderful place... where dreams CAN come true'" Equally struck with the honor was England's Gordon. Quipped the King. "Fish and Chips are great. but this sure beats fried toast! This goes right at the top of my resume."

Executive MIM: A Crowning Achievement

Dignitaries on hand at the surprise award announcement ceremony included Ms. Ann "Frati Fuhrer" Wohl. the "Dean of Debits" Dale Davison and the whole I-A1IM IV gang. The winners receive a package of gilts and awards far exceeding last year's recognition, including tbul not limned to), the stylish crowns that adorned their heads, one tree cottee (house, not gourmet) of their choice at the Tower, two Red Stripes at the Pub. and a hye on the next easy case study.

Rosemary feels that she w ill use her 'Iliunderhird degree to bring "a little bit of sunshine into the far comers ol (he world." along with a copyrighted pyramid scheme involving used surgical supplies. Gordon has indicated that as pan of the opening of the eastern bloc, he will seek IMF- funding support for the development of u pageant infrastructure in selected new republics. "I think it will go a long way to infusing the kind of cultural understanding between the new eastern bloc countries and the L'S that will act as a basis of understanding and action for years to come."

T'birds Use Modern Equipment in ClassroomBy Steve Rolwing

Video feedback has long been recognized as a very useful tool in instruction of phy sical tasks, One faculty member also believes it is useful in teaching the more mental task of learning Spanish. In a recent class. Professor Spaulding videotaped, edited, and then re­ played skits presented by first year students. Although somewhat hu­ morous in pans, this format highly encouraged the introduction of new vocabulary, sentence formation, and speaking skills.

A Weekend South of the BorderBy Mark Haneke

(and we don't mean Taro BeU)

Arizona is a pretty good place to live. The desert scenery is pretty, the weather is mild, and you can play golf or tennis year-round; but what we're missing is some water. When the beaches of LA or San Diego have become old, con- si'dervisiting the beauty of our neigh-

The Mexican government IKB targeted San Carles as an area for economic development in the nation's tourism industry. Con­ struction of new roads, hotels and other buildings can be seen every­ where. A Gub Med lies five miles north of town, nestled on its own

About 8-9hoursdrive south ofPhoenix (400 miles) lies the Mexi­ can beach resort town of San Carlos.

A couple of tips to con- site before your trip: The Mexi­ can highways are pretty good, but the going gets a bit slower south of the border. The posted speed limit is 1 (X) kph (62 mph.) You must register your car with the authori­ ties at a checkpoint south of Nogales. Be sure to bong votir \ehicleregistration.proofofl '.S. insunince.yiirdrhers license and a major credit card so pay the SI ? tee i cash not accepted.) Mexican auto insurance should also he pur­ chased, but can he done in Nogales. Also. \ou uill need a Mexican tourist card laxailable where you register your \ehicie>, so bring a photo ID and :i v;iiid nnvit' nt"citizenship (hirthcertificate, pass­ port or voterregistration curd) tor that fonnaht}. You w ill also need about $25 in cash (you can pay in SI'SD) to pay fortollsalong High­ way 15 between Nogales and San Carlos.

So the next time you're in the mood to kick back on the beach, go scuba diving and suck down a few frosty margaritas. consider a 3-4 day weekend in San Carlos. For :i free HrochtiK" on 5>:in CnHos/ Guaymas. call Realty Network here in Phoenix at 569-1125.

Igor. a Canada goose who went astray while flying south for winter. has rejoined his flock and a scien­ tific team studying migration.

A Lock Haven-area woman found the wayward bird, which dropped out of the flock about Nov. 8, and drove him to a stopover point in AirFie. Va.

The flock follows two ultralight aircraft south as scientists try to de­ termine whether geese migrate by instinct or can follow directions, GooKhy said.

The birds are expecied to reach South Carolina, the normal migra­ tion endpoint for Canada geese, in January, he said. A return trip north is planned after winter. Igor dropped out of the flock some-

where over ihe Susquchanna River in eastern Pennsylvania. Two otherbuus also bccaJiK scpoloicu.

The team is still looking for the two other geese. K732 and K742. which are believed to have left the flock between Shermanstown and Gettysburg.

Let me say tight away that RoxSand is not on the student bud­ get touro" restaurants, not by a long shot. 1 must admit, up front, that Dad paid for my meal. That having been said. RoxSand is a fabulous place to go when you have a few of those extra student loan dollars ly­ ing around and you really want to spend some serious cash while hav­ ing a great time eating it up.

RoxSand is located just around the corner from Planet Hol­ lywood and California Pi//:i Kitchen. The restaurant is small, and reservations are highly recom­ mended. The restaurant is modeled on the "New York /LA chic restau­ rant look." There is a small bar to the right as you walk in. Each table has a modern lamp illuminating it. There are huge mirrors on the wall. giving the feeling of more space, but. at the same time, creating the sense that the dinners are pan of a painting.

The lighting is dark and you will be "greeted"'. However, unlike NY or LA. where the greeter will more often than not tell you to "sit at the bar" the staff at RoxSand are very pleasant, even charming. Indeed, we had made a reservation for 8:30pm but arrived at around 7:30. Tired and hungry we decided to give it a try and asked the greeter if they had a table free. There was only one available, near the kitchen and it was reserved at 9:OOPM. We took it.

For a main dish, we were overwhelmed by the selection. Af­ ter some dilly dallying. I decided upon the Air Dried Duck (S21.95) Half a duck with Szechuan blackbean sauce. Evil Jungle Prince sauce, elephant heart plum sauce. moo shu pancakes and millet and yam ti inhale. The air dried method means that the cook is able to melt away the duck fat, and leave crisp and tasty skin covering the sumptu­ ous meat.

My father ordered a special for the evening which consisted of huge New Zealand praw-ns. a delec­ table fight garlic sauce, cucumber. and freshly made linguini (S25.95) A°ain. everything was perfect.

A note on the service. Our waitress was a dream come true. Usually in NY or LA. you have to put up with surly and rude staff when you go to good restaurants. Thank God for Phoenix, the last bastion of nice wait staff. Our wait­ ress did not make us wait, knew the answers to every question we had about the food, was a veritable fount of knowledge regarding wines, and she was nice to boot.

Now the desserts. If you can find room, and we did. the pre- pared-on-the-premises desserts are scrumptious.not to memionentirely bad for you The selection chances daily and the variety is so large that the waitress will ask you to visit the viewing caseandchoose your heart's delight. Taking her suggestion. I wandered over and checked it out. WOW. Chocolate this and that, raspberry this, strawherrv that, mouse, truffles, cookies, and... 1 ordered the cappucino mouse cake with a chtKolate ganache icing. The verdict: not good.

Some people have men­ tioned that it looks like I haven't met a restaurant that I didn't like. While that it true in my DAS TOR col­ umns.

I feel that there is not enough time or .space 10 criticize all these restaurants I will, however, produce a list of my all time favorite worst restaurants.

Movie Review

Interview with a VampBy WolfKuchen

Does Tom Cnii\e suck, or doesn't he' Anne Rice, author of M.vrnrH M/rt .'/!«- Vampire, can't decide. First she hated him. now she loves him as Lestat. the deadly arro­ gant blood-lusting protagonist of the novel's cinematic adaptation

Rice, the New Orleans au­ thor of the vampire senes. initially rejected the casting of Cruise, fear­ ing that the movie would become a star vehicle and lose all of its mean­ ing.

I w as scared of the mov te I controlled the novel w hen I v\rote it. but with the movie you never know what could happen." she ex­ plains In fact she was so worried that she personally went to New York theatersduring opening week­ end to cet audience reactions Only then w.i\ she \ati\tied

NeilJordan\e\ceptionally ^ell-made film adaptation is faith­ ful to Rice's concepts, and it isvery easy to become m\ \titiedb\ the on­ screen vampire's mystique

/Mh mm w ;r/i ;/ir t ijm/'irc tells the tale of I Sth-century New Orleans plantation owner Louis i Brad Put) w ho is tninsformed into an unhappy vampire by Lestat iTom Cruise)

I x.'stat-arrogance strongly contrasts 1 nuis' beli.i\i.»r though transiornted. Lorn- piclers losuck the lile out ot tat\ and other pets in&itKxio* human*, abccha: deeply disturbs IvC\(a(. Only when LcsUt truns(brm?»a beautiful young w oman (Krisien Dust) imo a vampire, does Louis let goof his human condition. A stormy romance, culminating in the search of their vampinc origins in Europe, develops and becomes one of the movies main plots.

Jordan manages to keep the essentials of the plot, while elimi­ nating minor plot lines and internal monologue. The film's action is accelerated and much more dramatic and intense than the novel's.

The confusion of sexual undertone - that made straight men fal 1 for gay men in The Cn m; Game (another of Jordan's works)- makes the transformation into a vampire .in almost orgasmic experience for both the victim and the hunter, no matter what sex. or sexual orienta­ tion. The mov us latent homosexual innuendo has on! v added to the hype and controversy surrounding the film.

Though neither Pit! nor Cruise add the novel" s depth to their characters, their performances and on-screen chemistry are outstand­ ing

Their sardonic humor. nywjv an-ii^mo? and looks, sup­ ported bv times stunning visuals. give the movie its edge.

1 x'staf s capacity to lov e and his incredible lust make him and hi* pedophihac. rat-sucking, blood-ad­ dicted clan of immortals a rare race of transformed humans with their own morality, in no way similar to any vampire there has been before

Alter having watched a number of hyped and overrated movies. /;:,vr, !i'u \\nii the V<HH- j'lrt' is a nice surprise. The stars" brilliant perforrmmces. the plot and the special effects make this movie a must see. maybe even a must see again.

If you haven't seen it. yet. you should, and with the movie striking a vein at the box office, expect Lestat to fly out of the coffin with a sequel.
