NET SrjDEKTS, YOUR

\';e, the staff of DAS TOR extend to all of you new students a »arm welcome to

TGSIH. And of course, a welcome home to all returning veterans cf previous seac s-

..ters. To the neophytes, allow us to introduce DAS TOR, to be your voice and your

spokesman for as long as you care to engage in rhetoric. We think it will be of

benefit to the new students to recapitulate the origin and co:rf;ept of your paper.

Late in the Fall Semester of 1369 a number of students saw the need for es­

tablishing a medium to bri"- student voices and opinions into the limelight. It

has been inaccurately rcierred to as the campus "under-round newspaper. ' If any­

thing, it became an open forum for £»n exch?nye of ideas and opinions. Both

faculty and students contributed to This exchange and all of that %as,^ as it

should'be, well "above pround." V.'hen a paper has to go "underground," rhetoric

is failing. Allow me to paraphrase Bob Marabito, DAS TOR'S first editor, when he

introduced the concept of the paper in the first issue...

"DAS TOR, Le Portail, El Porton, The Gate, belongs to you: it is your student

rio-aicngno-*- r5.t*d *">r>.0 th*t leaf's vour cooperation. <=nthusias!i! and criticisn in orcer

to continue to publish throughout the coming: years.

Briefly, DAS TOR was chosen PS the title of the paper because it is today

very much a part of the intermtional coEr.unity. v/herever v.-e travel, whenever

we pass from one country to another, we must ,;o thmujjh a gate: from East Berlin

to West Berlin, Jordan to Israel, the United St?tes to Cuba, or from Hongkong; to

Communist China. However, DAS TOR means more thsn simply the traversing of borders;

it stands as a symbol and an artery of comnunicatlon through- the barriers of super­

stition, ignorance, dogma, racism and prejudice; all traditional enemies shicn

continue to be a detriment to progress and global peace.

Idealistic though it may sound, it has now become the responsibility 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.

DAS TOR must therefore be an open forum for debate, a clearing house cf ideas

that may further prepare us for the international community and augment the repu­

tation of this youthful institution."Thus spoke Marabito a little over a year ago. The real goals of this paper

should not have changed over that time. They were cood objectives. Sometimes we

have failed to live up to the integrity of those words by hiding behind pen-names

and unsigned articles. For this reason, the only rale we require for publication

of any student,'s article in an issue of DAS TOR is that the student stand behind

what he says by signing his name to what he writes. It is easy to be vociferous

when one does not have to be held accountable -for what he says by his peers.

Perhaps this rule will help to temper our thoughts before we speak... tc know

our facts first. Otherwise, you may say what you wish.Students were surprised at the success of their new paper. The fact that DAS

TOR lived beyond two or three issues said something for the need for the medium.

The present administration has been most tolerant... in fact, encouraging in the

publication of DAS TOR. Sometimes we have said things in the paper that probably

did not set too well with circles off campus. DAS TOR does reach a number of nooks

and crannies in the business world. Still they have never made any effort to in­

fluence or to interfere with the publication. As a matter of a fact, they have

footed the bill for the publication of DAS TOR. A point I should like to discuss with you now.

We have some money left over from last year. I would like to see DAS TOR under

the auspices of SAC purchase a mimeograph machine and put the typing and printing

entirely in student hands. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to meet the

Friday deadline with all of the work the school must do in its mimeo room. DAS

TOR must be crowded in every week in addition to NAT (News At Tliunderbird). I

would therefore like to hear a mandate for the purchase of such a machine and

take the full responsibility for the publication of the printing facilities. The

mimeo could be operated by one or two trained students and would be useful for

purposes other than the publication of DAS TOR.

Last year the paper was essentially a one-man production. . The editor prodded

and begged for articles, participation and deadlines to be met. The paper lives

on the spontaneous articles contributed by the student body and an occasional

faculty contribution. Though th-ts form of uc^-rpnper is an asset in.'its spontaneity,

-2-

it is a liability in its irregularity. WE NEED STAFF, reporters and columnists, as it were. In order to be effective in the lorvj run, DAS TOR oust have some organization and we therefore enter a plea for help from the student body to improve the regularity of at le?st a portion of its content and aid in the elimination of editorial bias. The spontaneous letters to the editor will continue to give DAS TOR its personal character: The addition of staff with specific areas of responsi­ bility aould distribute eork and seek out news on a regulai- basis.

So, new and old students, here is a chance for you to contribute and for your voice to be heard and read at least once a week. Some of the positions we would like to eventually fill are listed below:1. Two staff Typists.....to stencil DAS TOR each week for printing. Generally

this work -would cosmence on Wednesday and finish OE _ Thursday.

2. SAC Reporter..........to attend all SAC meetings for pertinent information topublish. Report on the conduct of the meetings, person­ alities and events. Critique of SAC activities.

3. A Cartoonist.......... reflecting political, social and campus commentary.4. Arts and Recreation ..to keep the student body informed on what's to do in

Reporter Phoenix on/ a shoestring budget.5. Visiting Speaker .....to TO to lectures of visiting speakers on caapus end

Reporter write critiques which will in turn stimulate student discussion.

6. Regular Column.......to write on subjects of your choice, such as campus orWriters social commentary on a regular basis.

If we so distribute the responsibility for the content of the paper it will be no real burden to any of its staff and the journalistic quality will be re­ flect;,': ?n its variety. II yo'U wish to be a part cf the DAS TOR staff, please talk to the editor, Ron Eld in Room C-2 and let us get down to business at hand... that of communication.

SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES TO DAS TOR

For the sake of organization and smooth operation of the publication of DAS TOR, we must adhere as closely as possible to a schedule. At present we are allowed use of Thunderbird nimeograph facilities ancl our adherance to a schedule will help avoid abusing the school's time and equipment. It is a privilege for which the st'ident body has not had to pay in the past, and an issue costs approximately $(50 a week. So, for the present, student and faculty submitted articles should meet the following schedule. ALL ARTICLES MUST BE SIGNED.

1. Tuesday afternoon, 4p.in............... final time for the submission of articlesfor inclusion for that week.

2. Wednesday............................. Proofread draft of DAS TOR submitted forstenciling. Stencil proofing begins as they are finished.

3. Thursday .............................DAS TOR is printed and collation begins.4. Friday................................collation is finished and DAS TOR is

delivered to the yellow boxes on campus.

Articles submitted beyond the Tuesday deadline may be held" until the following issue. Articles must be submitted typewritten, proofread and double spaced for editing. If the editor feels there should be reconsideration before the article joes to print, he will return the letter to you and request that you see him to discuss it. If you still wish the article published after consultation, it will still be done at the editor's discretion. We do not make a habit of censoring your work. But we do have the right to accept or reject an article in full. It happens roost infrequently.

THE EDITOR'S BAG

I would like to thank the late Master's Candidates for their propriety. That is, for their less than original idea of bringing litigation against the school for their Master's Degrees. A certain number of students failed their first Master's Comprehensive. It was announced at the outset that any student failing the first time would have the chance to retake the exam at a later date. Therefore, the students were not yet without recourse. Still, indicative of their boundless creat­ ivity, they (or a number of them) decided to sue for their degrees before exhaust­ ing their alternatives. " " " I would imagine that they got their creative idea from those who earlier brought suit against the school for a Sunmer School Semester.

-3-

To add insult to injury to the school, the exam was admittedly sophomorically simple according to many who did take the examination and passed. For nany, the

questions were predictable, at least as to the general category. I would ask these students, who have cfnin forced the anno nistration to lower their standard, if, every time they fail in t-rj asrkct place, they plan to take their case te the Supreme Court *hen they are fired.

I find it equally distressing that the Board of Directors did not back their new administration in their efforts to cope with the problems they were given. It was acknowledged that our new administrators had little time to rennovate this institution in the eyes of the D-asiness »8rld (i.e. those who give us money). I think it unfortunate that the Board backed our President and Vice-President in efflourescent rhetoric at the beginning of last year and no* have given a de- facto vote of "no confidence" when the chips were down for decision-making. If the students had sued, they would have lost. I wish they had had their chance to bite off a chunk of the real world in court. As it is, they shall have to receive their hsrd knocks later in the :zarket-place for .nconipetency should it surface in their careers.

"ditorial Opinion- Ron Eld

PRESIDENT'S CORNER

To the "new breed" of Thundcrbird who have entered our desert retreat with high hopes and an impressive c!i-llen~e, Welcome. To those of the 2nd semester class, j:reat to see you all. For the scarred vetrans of the tird semester, I offer the hopeful consolation that vc are, after all, still breathing and hanging on.

As this is the first DAS TOR that the new inconn'n"- class rill read, I'c like to direct its content *z their. : n order to tell them what I'd had hopc<! to sr>y durrng Orientation. Seems ay 20 minute talk was reduced to five minutes that day.

SAC on the Thunderbjrd canpus is an evolving creature that first sprung into life in 13G3 with the authorization of then President, Carl Sauer. In those days, its activities v.ere quits restricted in nature and scope. The main impetus to its present day status can, in part, be traced back to Doug Barba, President in The Spring of 1970.

Under Doug's leadership, SAC began to assert itself into nany aspects of campus life. The Constitution v,as revised to make it a more flexible and viable tool. The Academic Evaluation Committee was formed, consisting of members of the School's Board, Administration, Faculty and members of 3AC. The purpose of the Committee was to look at the present situation in our school and to make recom­ mendations as to future ~oals and objectives.

Last semester, I became involved in SAC government for the first time 25 Vice- President, running as a team v.ith John Murphy as President and Gary Gunderson as Treasurer. Our objective, was well as to widen the scope of student government.

As a means to that end, -SQ recommended to the representatives of SAC that the revised by-laws provide for on Orientation Comrrittee, A Communication Committee and a Student Ombudsman Committee. We also formalized the suggested Finance Committee, making it an integral part of the Treasurer Office and Function.

The major trust of last semester's efforts ol the Executive was to improve the workings of the Committees existing previous to the revised by-laws and and to ^ive substance to the new. In this effort, we had a. ^rczt deal of positive and creative support from the Administration. Changes that hrve created riot situations on other campus's were often implemented in an atmosphere of active co-operation.

It is unfortunate that many positive and far-reachings shifts of the role of student government go lost in the shuffle of charged and immediate issues. One of these was the question of Summer School. Another was the change in Master's Comps from oral to written. A jreat deal of the atacsphere was a result of the very process of change.

As we came to the end of the semester, I be^an to see that there was a real chance that the movement to a constructive and substantive reconstruction of Student Government might have lost in the heat of arguments about the present manifestations of the transition-Process. It was for that reason I determined to run for the Presidency of SAC.

It was a most interesting time as anyone with memories of last semester can tell you. The upshot was a split ticket, with Pete Rutherford as Vice Presidest and Gary Langstaff as Treasurer beinj winners from the other ticket. It has been a very pleasant experience to see how quickly we have =11 come together as a team. Their performance to now has reflected their high caliber as people and as officers..

That brings us up to the present day. Since many of you have expressed interest insetting involved in helping shr.pe the future of your School. I'll attempt to out­ line some of the programs that WG have at the present tine.

SAC Executive Council. The President, Vice-president, Treasurer and Secretary are elected for a one semester tona in the last weeks of the semester. This is the policy formation arm of Student Government. Any first or second semester student

-4-

may run. Elections for nest senester will take place in the last week of April. There will be a two week transition period, with the new teas taking over the last meeting of the year.

SAC Representatives. "ac!i class has one representative for ex-cry 50 students in his class. This class nor; entering will have four spaces to fill. There will be one vacancy in the Third semester class and three for the Second semester. The procedure for running is as follows. Pick up a petition from one of the Executive Committee on Thursday. Hove them signed by enough students of your class to represent 10% of your class. This petition must be approved by a Executive officer before any campaign efforts may begin. Elections will be held on Feb. 15th. Each Club that is recognized by SAC is entitled to send one representative to S'iC. These representatives are chosen in the various club elections.

Program Committee. This is a Committee for a SAC sponsored program of movies, lee tures, etc. Like almost all the Committees listed below, the bulk of their manpower comes from non-electee! students who want to be involved with programs for their fellow students. The way to join up is to talk with the Chairman. In this case, the man to see is Zllis Kinsman.

SCcial Committee takes care of all dances and other social events sponsored by SAC.See Bill Ryan on this.

*Academic Evaluation Committee. This committee is in the process of reorganization If you are interested in this important but flak-catching work, submit a resume of your qualification to the Ececutive Committee before Feb.10.

Orientation Conmittee_ Headed by Gary Goodnan, this was your first exposure to theTute.

Communications Corner'ttee. Headed by Bob Scholle, the Communication functions are expanding and much help u-ill be needed here for a diverse approach to a perennial human problem.

Ombudsman. Headed by Larry Xsrrin, the group is empowered to investigate problems raised by students in their dealings with the Administrative and Academic fuctions of the School.

Finance Committee. Chaired by Dan Dimberrly under the direction of Treasurer Gary Langstaff, this committee reviews all allocations, budgets and expenditure from the student fees. This is the main central point that sees that the wishes of the Student Body, as expressed by the vote of their representatives, as regards to expenditure of their fee money are properly carried out.

Placement Committee. Directed by Wayne Fulcher, this group works with the Career Service Center to aid the student in his job seeking efforts.

Plant Planning. This group, works to improve the use of campus facilities and the proposal possible improvements in their construction.

Beyond this formal structure, there are many areas for possible involvment. Charlie Shields is working on an exciting project for a food co op on campus. Ad hoc committees are often formed to work on problems of a one time nature.

Wednesday was SAC activity. There you were exposed to the many worthwhile projects that our clubs are working with. I urge you to attend the meetings, talk to the guys and gals involved and join those which interest you.

More than nearly any experience that you may have had ap to now, the experience " of "Thunderbird is a direct function of what you put into it. If I can be of help in making it a pleasant and meaningful one, come on in to our offices next to the Post Office at any time. I'll be glad to rap on any subject any time.

RAMPANT RUMOR RABBLE

Did you hear that professor..... gives only 1's?Yeah, but old man..... won't give anyone better than a 2.

Hey, I just heard that Delaney quit to become Undersecretary of Interior.Have you been hearing as many of these this past week as I have? Or have you

been quilty of perpetuating rumors which no one seems to know whether tbey are true or not; but you spread it anyway.

This column of DAS TOR is dedicated to the confirming or squelching of rumors by questioning the proper administrator and reporting the results. So if you just heard a rumor, inform this columnist or leave a note in room F-2.

Now, down to business, first, and hoepfully for the last time, this rumor will be stopped: Yes, there will be summer school this year.

Second, the Area Studies is NOT going to be disbanded nor integrated with the World Business Department; but it has been renamed the Department of International Studies.

Third, your language grades gill be included in your Grade Point Average for the tester's program. For those who entered Fall 1S70 or before, will be allowed to take the second semester language er<«Ho as the grade for the two semesters; but only for 300 level courses.

A LITTLK M01E TACT AND FACT BT^OT ^0' YTTACX

Veil, a;few of us were perhaps caught by surprise during the first SAC meeting Monday night. Das Tor had the dubious pleasure of witnessing the first controversy of the semester. Unfortonatily, it was needless had both sides made an effort to discuss the facts of the issue with tact.

True, the new students were invited to come to the first SAC meeting where they are not, as yet, represented. That was as it should be. They expected to be able to speak from the gallery and there was technical provision all along for them to do so, via the incumbent SAC members who can yield the floor to anyone in the gallery. The President's ignoring their right to speak through this channel was short-sighted. On the other hand, when a couple of students (one in particular) elected to take a belligerant stand, things became a little tense. Also, the first semester students must realize that this was the first meeting under the netc officers and there was bound to be a little organizational confusion. There will likely be more in the first few weeks until things stabilize. Your demands that no funds be appropriated until you have elected your new officers two weeks hence is a bit ludicrous. I know of no University where the student government is supposed to shut down for the incoming students until they have elected new officers. This is not a "home owner's" association (where one student claims his vast spectrum of experience in government originated). It is a student government, less than perfect, with no malice intended. So lets feel out the situation before you bring your D-9 Cat to the next meeting to tighten 'em up" and we can all work together to get these problems solved. Get yourself a copy of Roberts Rules and Emily Post. You will find both handy.

M"LETIC BUDGET - S r>Pl.CO

This is ludicrous! ror the information of the students vho haven't heard the administration turned over to S.A.2. the entire ithi-tic budret for the spring semes­ ter; a grand total of f-1'ri.OH. This is in inadeouite anount in ay opinion. To rnakc things worse, in in effort towirds econony, the administration withdrew S10OO.OO leaving only $581.00 to run the entire athletic program this semester. This miserly amount must support the entire intramural program softball, football, basketball, golf, tennis, support the soccer teats, pay the referees, take care of marking-off the athletic fields for the gazes, buy new eouipisent, repair the old equipment, and pay for an athletic director to run and organize the various programs.

With only the $581 that the administration is making available, there »ill only be about $3D per week to run the entire athletic program for over 750 students. That amounts to less than 5C per student per week.

I hereby ask the administration to review this budget cut-to at least give us back the $1000; and to further consider a nore realistic amount for the athletic program.

THE CUEST FOR A MHV EDITOR

Sometime during the semester I will be scanning the student body for a prospec­ tive Editor for Das Tor. I enjoy very much serving the student body as the editor of your paper. It has been most rewarding for me, and I hope the work met with the majority of the student body's and faculty's approval. Indeed, I shall hate to give up the position when the time comes, for it seems that a paper is always at the focal point of everything that is happening. I shall miss that. For it is being in the know about a number of issues that proves to be the most rewarding aspect of editing a paper. I should expect to have to step down about the middle of the semester, when I hope to be well into the proverbial campaign for gainful employment to pay off the phenomenal debt incurred while going to school here for a year. So those of you who feel up to a great deal of time-consuming but rewarding work that will constantly challenge your perspectives and your integrity, get in touch with me, Ron Eld in room C-2 and discuss the possibilities of your becoming the editor of Das Tor in the coming months.

W. C. FIELDS, MAE WEST IN "MY LITTLE CHICKADEE"

Friday, February 5 8:00 p.m. Auditorium

This comedy^western farce is a perfect target range for Fields and Mae West to fire fast repartee at each other. Since Fields and Miss West both wrote their own material for this picture, you can be sure each leaves no stone unturned to grab the spotlight away from the other. The wedding night sequence when Miss West substitutes a goat for herself in the nuptial bed gives Fields a rare change to perform verbal surgery on her.

DOING IT RIGHT

Mr. Oscar B. CeralloPfiaci <jon +

Society for Advancement of Management

Dear Mr. Cerallo:

This is to thank you and your associates at Thunderbird for your very gracious letter to Secretary Stans concerning my October visit to Phoenix.

As a further step in improving communications between the Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management and the Department of Commerce, Mr. Donald W. Fry, Director of our Phoenix Field Office, is now investigating the feasibility of in­ cluding Thunderbird in our new ISA Export Expansion Program.

In the current academic year, this program involves 18 graduate schools of busi­ ness administration and over 200 MBA students, each of whom will do an export market study for a small American manufacturer. Although it may be too late to include Thunderbird this year, I am sure that we will be able to invite your participation in the 1971-72 school year. The enclosure describes the program in more detail.

Sincerely,

Robert McLellanAssistant Secretary for Domesticand International Business

The program was approved for TGSIM students after much work by our faculty advisor, Prof. Chris Larsen, and the Thunderbird faculty just two weeks after the receipt of this letter.

Dan Kimberly seconded. Voice vote. Passed. There were differing opinions from the first semester student present in the gallery; some felt orientation was fine,others felt that it was too long or that the waiver system should be better organized.

Old business.DAS TOR: Ron Eld is looking for a new editor for the next semester so that he

can start grooming him now. There will be no more unsigned articles allowed in the newspaper or pen names. Jan Daub will have a column that will deal with rumors that float around^this campus.

" Michael G'Shaugnessy received a nemo from Berger Erickson stating that the student atheletic program was being placed in the

hands of SAC and that the budget would be reduced by $1000, in the interest of economy. With this reduction the atheletic departnent is left with S5G1 with which to run this semester's program.

The atheletic room was broken into last December and equipment was stolen. Mr. Gifford did not know of the situation and held no responsibility for it. Michael suggested that at least $5OO be restored to the budget. Students enjoy atheletic activities on this caucus and it would be a shame to cut down on then. The nemo also pointed out that students should not be expected to assume the costs and labor expenditures that are part of the normative function of any school.
