Who's Who Among Latin American ExecutivesbyGregWood

Where do the men of the executive branch of Latin A- merican countries come from? What social class? What religious persuasion? Military? Why and where? When? How many have been the president of more than one country? Is militarism in Latin America on the rise or decline? To what extent does the elite class control the presidency and in which countries?

If these .questions on the nature of the executive branch in Latin America interest you, the man to see is John Gordon Conklin, professor of Latin American studies with the IS department.

In addition to scholarly research to attempt to answer these questions. Prof. Conklin has composed what may be the first and certainly the most comprehensive list of Latin American executives ever compiled.

Prof. Conklin received his BA, in history from Mexico City College in 1963 and his M.A. in political science from Northern Illinois University in 1966. He has

past and present Latin American executives collected through arduous research. The file was begun in 1967 when Prof. Conklin began working on his Ph.D. "There was just no data on Latin American executives and their succession patterns, so I had to create it myself." The file provides the "meat" for his dissertation. "There have already been four "spin-off papers from the research."

One of these. "Elite Studies: The Case Of The Mexican Presidency" was recently published in the Journal of Latin American Studies at Oxford University in Cambridge, England.

The card file, along with the background material of the men who compose it, provides a "method of testing hypotheses that arise concerning Latin America such as so-called class theories, the theories on the impact of economic develop­ ment." The statistical in­ formation in the file indicates political trends in Latin America from the time of independence to the present. By "plugging in" a theory (comparing it to the in­ formation), its validity may be determined.

Asked to describe some of the misunderstandings between the U.S. and Latin American countries. Prof. Conklin said that journalists sometimes present facts out of context. "Like the fact that Bolivia has had 180

amount of time we spend in each one. there are no pressing needs.

The subject of additional books for the library is a ticklish one. No one wants to be in the position of saying he doesn't want more volumes in the library. For­ tunately, at least for those with automobiles and gasoline, we are able to use the ASU library to get those books which our own library lacks.

However, look at how the in­ dividual student will benefit from the presence of the calculator. Accounting and other subjects have tapes that can help the student practice those same subjects, on his own time, with the help of the calculator. Those previously - mentioned macro games are undeniably helpful. Homework assignments in such subjects as statistics and managerial finance become much less time consuming.

Perhaps most important, however, is the chance for a student to become acquainted with the operations of an elec­ tronic "brain." to become familiar with what really hap­ pens when someone "Talks" to a computer. As Dr. Geer has pointed out. all too many people are too impressed by a computer simply because they don't un­ derstand it. A good manager knows both the opportunities and limitations of such devices.

On the administration side, the HP calculator simplifies registration, thus reducing problems for all. The library can use it to keep track of their books. The records of all students and all classes can be kept on one simple tape, available for instant ac-

Prof. Conklin prefers to think of himself first as a political scientist, secondly as Latin Americanist. "Nixon has done the country a great favor with Watergate." The explanation is two-fold: "Since the second world war American presidents have been enshrined' by the public and received weeping powers under the aegis of 'National Security,' often justified power." Now. these powers have grown to be too large, and are easily abused. "With Watergate and the oil crisis there will be a true dispersion of international economic power, and the military

OPINIONFROM THE EDITOR

Hearst Stand QuestionedEight weeks and two days after her "capture" by the

Symbionese Liberation Army, Patricia Hearst an­ nounced her decision not to come home.

She would rather stay and fight with the SLA against the evils of the corporate system.

Assuming it was a decision freely make, two things stand out in her dramatic announcement: She believes in the righteousness of her action, yet she completely ignores the implications of her decision.

Ms. Hearst's intermittent messages from 'captivity' have indicated her awareness of, and possibly sympathy for the SLA battle against a system which has con­ centrated 90-95 per cent of the nation's wealth in one per cent of its population.

Yet, her decision ignores the efforts of a considerable number of "People in Need" volunteers; and disregards the millions whose thoughts have been with her for the last two months. The implication of her decision is that she has closed off an avenue of sympathy and support essential to the causes of groups with socially constructive goals.

Her decision is the hardest of the 'hard sells'. And people won't buy it.

People will continue to buy the American dream, even if it comes today with intricate corporate relationships and rising oil prices. People who came to the aid of the young "victim" don't understand ideologies which assail the American dream They still believe in it.

People do understand a kick in the teeth. And this apparently sincere decision has dealt one to those who might otherwise continue to try to help and possibly, even understand. Bo Burr

Beyond The Oil EmbargobyGregWood

The oil producing nations of the Middle East met recently and decided to lift the ofl embargo to tbeU.S.

Tiie initial conference was held in Tripoli, Libya, home of Col. Muammar Kaddafi, final holdout on the decision to resume the oil flow. With the most powerful diplomatic weapon the Arabs have ever wielded, the Arabs forced the U.S. to react, and the VS. forced Israel to react. In gratitude, Egypt's Anwar Sadat moved to reward the diplomatic efforts of Henry Kissinger by lifting the embargo. Saudi Arabia and the Persian Golf countries agreed, but Syria, Algeria, and Libya dissented.

The next conference was odd in Vienna, where a resolution was passed agreeing to freeze the price of oil for three months where it was, but threatening to raise the prices if the in­ dustrialized nations of the world couldn't control inflation.

Finally Algeria, trying to maintain her militant Arab image, but tempted by some lucrative Western deals, agreed to drop the embargo. Syria followed grudgingly, swearing to regain land lost in the 1967 and Yarn Kippur wars, and Libya submitted, more to maintain this

Arab attempt at unity than real desire to end the embargo. The agreement was announced Feb.a.

As one Arab spokesman pot it: There was really no desire to maintain the embargo for an extended period of time an extended embargo would throw the U.S. into a severe recession, and a healthy VS. economy is vital to world well-being and even survival."

Speaking on CBS's program "Face the Nation," Senator Frank Church (D-Idaho) called for the U.S. government to open negotiations with the Arabs on oil prices. "The government has left the oil companies to do something IT should be doing. The oil em­ bargo to Holland has not been lifted.

Other news in the Middle East: EGYPT

annihilated both management and workers The U.S. saw the importance of the canal and began negotiating with the Colombian government in an effort to take over the canal.

The U.S proposals were such »h?t ttjcy '.vcrc rejected aga'tii ami again by the Colombian Congress It was then that the I'S sent money and arms to instigate a revolution in the province of Panama against the central government. Its machinations were successful since on November 3, 1903, a handful of well-paid politicians declared the Panamanian revolution.

Three days later, the U.S., in a very unorthodox way. recognized the new Republic of Panama. When Colombian troops arrived to quckh the revolution they were met by the U.S. warship "Nashville" and others who stopped them. The Colombian troops didn't have a chance against the powerful U.S. navy and marines.

Years later. 1911. President Roosevelt declared he was in­ terested in the Panama Canal because it had been his idea, and that had he taken the legal and traditional ways of submitting lengthy, official documents to Congress for its approval, if would probably still have been under discussion, which promp­ ted him to take the canal by force.

Colombia sent a special commission to Washington to protest the interference of the L-.S. in its affairs and stated ... "by invoking and using the law that might makes right, has taken by bloodless conquest, but conquest just the same, the most important part of our national territory."

It also stated that respect for the sovereignty of other nations should be more carefully regarded by a country who in 1846 signed a treaty with Colombia which says: "Los Estados Unidos earantizan positiva y eficaz-

mcnte a la Nueva Granada 'Colombia 1 la perfec_ta neutraiidad del ya reconocwo Istmo: y de la misma manera los dcrechos de soberania y propiedad que la Nueva Granada (Colombia > tiene y posee score ilk-im* terntonos. - The U.S. guarantees positively and ef­ fectively to Nueva Granada i Colombia > the perfect neutrality of the already recognized Isth- mip: and in the same manner the sovereignty and ownership rights that Nueva Granada has and owns on such said territory."

In 1914 a treaty was signed in Bogota (Colombia) between the two countries to compromise their differences. It says that the US. Government in its name and in behalf of its people expresses its sincere sorrow for the dif­ ferences between the two countries that originated in the happenings that took place in Panama, and agreed to pay Colombia an indemnity of 25 million dollars within the next six months. This indemnity was not paid until in 1921.

Mr. Tavares,stated that "With the demise of the French Canal, President Haves sent a message to Congress stating that such a canal should exist under ex­ clusive American jurisdiction." It could not have been President Haves who sent such a message to Congress since the French company's demise was in 1889 and President Haves was president from 1877 to 1881. He died in 1893 in political retirement. Mr. Tavares probably intended to mention Secretary of State John Hay. who in 1901 negotiated with Great Britain a treaty- known as the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty in which Great Britain recognized the exclusive right of toe U.S. to construct the canal. In 1903 Secretary Hay also signed the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty with Panama.

power will follow the flow of the money." This will create more "poles of strength" and take the pressure to maintain stability in the world off of the U.S. It will cause a general breakdown of the "bt-polar system (Russia-US.)" of main power players.

As this pressure eases, we will "come to the point where 'National Security' is no longer applicable to the political process," and much of the "in­ flated" power of the executive branch can be dismantled. "The more "Kadiffidies" and the mere "Sadats" there are, the better it wfll be for us. The greater the economic in­ terdependence, the less chance of war."

On domestic policies, Prat. Conklin favors less taxes going to the national level, and more to the local level, forcing more emphasis on individual responsibility for involvement. "The irony in Nixon's Revenue - Sharing plan is that it attempts to rekindle community develop­ ment while at the same time manipulating more power back to the federal government."

The other alternative is "...a type of Kennedy liberalism, and that creates a tendency for greater dependency on the central government, «o that won't work either."

On executive power. Prof. Cooklin thinks that "every time Nixon to the judiciary, he enhances the power of the judiciary by forcing it to detoiate executive power."

AGSIM is changing its image, according to Prof. Conklin. "I wouldn't recognize the school just since the time 5 arrived." The shift reflects the general change in international business the world over, and the school has transformed itself from an in­ stitution producing "bodies to man the oars of corporate capitalism" to one "encouraging individual enrichment and the democratization of the decision - making process rather than hterachial systems."

"idealism in the real world suffers the concern of making the buck a wry real concern so I doubt whether Thunderbirds or graduates of any school can become agents of immediate change in relation to societal attitudes." The main reason for the improvement in the school is the students' interests. "The tenor of the school has improved tremendously through the homogeneity of the student body I am surprised at the absence of stereotypes."

Prof. Cccklis is narried and has two children.

PROFILE: POWERS, SHERIDAN

'Sold' On AGSIMby Dolph Hoehling

Two new part-time World Business faculty members are "sold" on AGSIM's varied, practical curriculum.

If Tom Sheridan and Kathleen Powers have any say in the matter, they would become permanent denizens of this small, unique campus. At present, neither is counting on a post here beyond the rammer 1974 session.

Both are accustomed to un­ certainty and Me style changes.

Thomas E. Sheridan, Jr., finished his M.B.A. at Indiana University in 1949, and relinquished thoughts of a doc­ torate in favor of marriage, and a savings and loan position in Chicago. He spent nearly 25 years in the S&L business, mostly in Phoenix, and now is a self- described "49-year-old dropout"

Nearly five years ago, while in a Phoenix hospital for painful hip surgery, Mr. Sheridan decided to seek his own replacement at the helm of Greater Arizona Savings in order to resume pursuit of mat elusive hope of his youth: A doctorate and teaching or con­ sultant work. With all his course work and exams completed for ASU's Business Administration doctoral program, and two stimulating marketing seminars to conduct at AGSIM, Tom Sheridan is young again, laun­ ched on a new career.

Why marketing seminars, coming from a savings and loan career? "Because, man, banking B marketing, especially in S&L associations."

Kathleen A. Powers officially received her PhD. in Economics from the University of Houston in December 1973, though she had all but dissertation behind her in 1970. She served a stint with the CJA. in Washington, D.C. in 1970-71, then spent 1972-73 in Phoenix completing her dissertation and "playing housewife." Her husband, Wallace Powers, shifted from business administration studies at American University in D.C. to become a field underwriter with New York Life in Phoenix.

"We like this area. I wish there was a full-time position available

here," Dr. Powers mused in her little office next to the AGSIM nursery. Last summer she was aiming job queries at scores of institutions, nation-wide, and her letter to the Thunderbird Campus squarely hit the target.

"It was simply one of those right - place -at - the - right - time matters. Dr. Drake called me the same day he received my letter." A subsequent talk affirmed that her specialty matched the World Business need: Monetary economics, as presented in WB 425.

Both Dr. Powers and Mr. Sheridan are impressed with the unique mix of courses and students found on this desert valley campus. Although an economist, Dr. Powers still carries that strength of faith often associated with Texans.

"I have really felt the presence of the Lord in my career. At the CIA one has to be intensely practical, everything you tell them has to be couched in the most elementary terms. Then my stint with the Fed in Atlanta, and now my position here. I believe I have been 'called' away from academic theory to practical applications."

Although she approves of the practical and broad curriculum here. Dr. Powers suggest* the addition of more specialized 400- 500 level World Business courses, especially in Banking. Tom Sheridan admits that so far he feels "oversold" on the school, perhaps overly - enamored with the "marriage of theory and practice" he finds here.

"I'm too old to be a babysitter for the typical undergraduate," Mr. Sheridan concludes. "I enjoy working with the highly - motivated students you find here for the most part."

Whereafter AGSIM? Neither is eager to leave this area. But Kathleen says her husband's profession allows them to be mobile of necessary. Tom insists he and his wife are not ready to age quietly. "We don't intend to sit around waiting for our five children to bring home the grandchildren."

Lakers Top Intramural*by Paul Solraick

Hie intramural basketball championship, played the Friday prior to spring break, woo by the Lakers 49-34. The game, which was closer than the final sore indicates, was an ex­ cellently played and well- attended contest (free beer always seems to bri^ a great number of "spots enthusiasts" out of the woodwork here at Third),

"Hie Knicks were forced to go without John Colon, one of their better shooters and rebounders, ax! this finally proved to be their undoing. With Dave Andersen playing a low-post center position and really hitting the offensive and defensive boards, the Knicks were down only 20-17 at the half. However, he fouled out on a questionable call shortly into the second half and the Lakers quickly took over both the tempo and control of the game.

Mtting fast-break baskets, and playing a controlled offense when the Knicks cut off the fast break, the Lakers proved to be the superior team.
