SPRING 1974 • This has been an eventful year for American Graduate School of International Management. Probably the most dramatic thing was the decision of the Board of Directors to change the name. For many of you who graduated during the brief period the School was Thunderbird Graduate School, I'm sure the new name is met with mixed feelings. It was the belief of the Board that the name American Graduate School more effectively mirrors the worldwide reputation of the institution. While the word "Thunderbird" was revered by almost everyone on the Board, it does have a Southwest connotation and hence tended to give a regional implication to the School. The Board felt this detrimental to fund-raising and recruiting students and faculty. The School had been called the American Institute for Foreign Trade for over twenty years so the Board reasoned that it was in part returning to the original name, but upgrading from an institute to a graduate school. Of course, all current students and alumni will continue to be called Thunderbirds and the address of the campus will always be Thunderbird Campus, Glendale, Arizona. The School opened the spring semester 1974 with 802 students. This is a record high figure for spring enrollment. In order to hold enrollment down to approximately 800 students all admissions were cut off in October. Presently we are planning to accept 140 new students for the summer session and approximately 400 new students for the fall semester 1974. One thing I would like to impress upon you alumni is that we are always looking for more excellent students so please do not diminish your efforts in the search for additional students for the School. We appreciate all of your efforts. As you know, it has been the Thunderbird alumni and students who have been the principal contributors to the continuing success of this institution. We have just filled two important academic chairs at the School. Dr. William Peterson has been appointed to the John David Campbell Chair of American Business, financed by the Scaife Family Charitable Trust. Dr. Peterson is a nationally known economist, formerly chief economist for United States Steel Corporation and a senior economist with the U.S. Department of Commerce. He taught for several years at New York University and has been a columnist and book reviewer for the Wall Street Journal. The Chase Manhattan Bank Chair of International Business Management has been filled for the spring semester by Dr. Taeho Kim from Korea University. In the fall the Chair will be held by Dr. Kichiro Hayashi from the Japanese Institute for International Studies and Training. Dr. Hayashi is a management authority, educated in Japan and at Indiana University in the United States. He is a part of our continuing close relationship with Japan. Our links with other institutions around the world continue to grow. We still have our exchange program with the Sung Kyun Kwan University in Seoul, Korea. We are again sending a group of 60 students to the Autonomous University in Guadalajara for the summer session of 1974. We are negotiating with ESAN, a management school in Peru, and with the University of Navarre in Barcelona for exchange programs. Our exchange with the Japanese Institute for International Sfudies and Training has now been approved by the Japanese government so we will be sending a professor and a group of students to their campus each year. They will continue to have a large group of their students on our campus each fall for a two week seminar. I was pleased to have met with the Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. alumni groups in the past few months. I hope during the next year to visit with many more of you. As you know, we continue to need your financial support. The dining hall project is getting closer to a complete success. Won't you make out a check for that project today and forward it to Martha Snyder? William Voris, President NEW NAME F THUNDERBIR On December 1st, 1973, Thunderbird became the AMERICAN GRADUATE SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT. The name change was made on recommendation of the long-range planning committee, who felt that the name "Thunderbird", while descriptive locally did not convey the international worldwide position the School holds. In announcing the changc, President Voris said: "It was felt that the name, Thunderbird, limited the School in relation with corporations around the world in recruiting money for the School and in placing graduates on a worldwide basis. Some School representatives had encountered problems with the name while traveling overseas, and some of our peers in the academic world and in corporations made disparaging remarks about the commercial sound of the name, which gave a more proprietary than graduate tone." The campus will still be called Thunderbird, and graduates of the School will continue to be known as Thunderbirds. PHOENIX RESIDENTS DONATE CAMPUS CHAPEL Through the generosity of Mr. A.ndrew P. Tell, Phoenix contractor, and his wife Mary, Thunderbird will soon have an Interfaith Chapel. Ground breaking exercises were held on Friday, November 30th. The new edifice is located at the corner of 59th Avenue and Greenway Road. The Chapel, built at a cost of $25,000, will accommodate a congregation of approximately 60 and may be used by all faiths. It will be formally dedicated in Spring '74. Some twenty years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Tell, formerly of Akron, Ohio, established a family nonprofit foundation designed to assist and support worthy undertakings. It is the policy of the Foundation to give all of its net earned income each year to these purposes. Mr. Tell reports that it is a small Foundation, representing gifts and bequests of various individuals, but mainly from the family itself. In future years they hope more of its growth will come from various new sources. Much credit for securing the benefactor goes to a group of Thunderbird students, Chairmaned by Robert Luzar, who realized the need for such a center. DECEMBER '73 GRADUATION 214 candidates for the Master of International Management Degree were presented at the December 19th graduation exercises held in the central quad. Also presented were six candidates for the Wives Course Diploma, and one Certificate of Advanced Study. Dr. Michael J. Jucius, Professor of Management, College of Business Administration, University of Arizona, delivered the commencement address on the sub- THE THUNDERBIRD (alumni publication of the American Graduate School of International Management) is published in the Fall, Spring and Summer of each year.

Paige of the Grand College Music Department. The recipient of the Barton Kyle Yount A ward was George Toufee DeBakey of Ft. Dodge, Iowa. George received his Business Administration Degree from Drake University, and planned to further his education at Southern Methodist University. The BKY Award was established in memory of the School's founder, Lt. Gen. Barton Kyle Yount, and is given to a member of each graduating class. The Award is based on scholarship, character and desire and potential ability to serve America abroad. The Phoenix Newspaper Advertising Award was given to the team introducing "Lee's Jeans in Sweden" which won top honors in the Fall '73 Advertising Competition. The Athletic Award went to Richard Sell. The Excellence In Capstone Awards were presented to Stephen J. Austin, Peter Hellwig, Michael May, Thomas Sunde, James Dale, Milton Fye, Gerry Sibley and Michael Fairley. ALDIVIESO TO SUCCEED JACKLE AS CHAIRMAN OF MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT JackIe Jorge Valdivieso, Professor of Spanish at Thunderbird, will succeed Dr. Frank R. JackIe as Chairman of the Department of Modern Languages. The appointment will become effective on September 1, 1974, and initially be for one year, with the condition that Professor Valdivieso may continue the appointment as Chairman for the remaining two years of the normal threeyear period, providing that he obtains his Ph.D. degree by September 1, 1975. Selecting a successor for the post of Chairman of the Department was a difficult task, for the new Chairman must continue the development of the School's language program that has been so conscientiously and successfully guided by Dr. JackIe. Jorge received a Licenciado en Derecho y Ciencias Sod ales in 1960 from the Universidad Central, Quito, Ecuador, a Master's Degree in Education from Arizona State University in 1969, and a Master's in Spanish from ASU in 1970. He is currently pursuing a doctorate at that University and has attended the University of Paris - Sorbonne, Paris, France. Jorge became a member of the Thunderbird faculty in 1963.

Dr. Jackie came to AGSIM in the Fa ll Semester of 1949 as an Associate Professor of Spanish. He taught cla sses in Spanish and Portuguese grammar and Business Communications in English. He has been a Professor of Languages since 1956 and chairman of the Department of Modern Languages since 1961. Dr. Jackie received the Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1967 in Portuguese and Luso-Brazilian Studies. Dr. JackIe will remain at Thunderbird and devote fulltime to teaching. He plans to teach Spanish and Portuguese grammar, Business Communications, and to do some research and writing. GEER APPOINTED CHAIRMAN WORLD BUSINESS DEPARTMENT DR. MARSHALL GEER II, a native of New York, will replace Dr. John E. Drake as Chairman of the World Business Department. Dr. Drake resigned the post on February 19th. Before coming to Thunderbird in Fall 1972, Dr. Geer was an assistant professor of Economics at the University of Colorado. He also taught at Colorado State University and at the University of Oregon. From 1968 to 1970, he was a Fulbright Lecturer in Economics at the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, Mexico. In 1966-67, he was a r esearch assistant, University of Andes, Merida, Venezuela.

Seshan, professor of management at Thunderbird, has submitted his resignation, effective after the Spring semester. He indicated personal reasons for leaving and said; "I feel my career is ahead of me and I can find better growth opportunities elsewhere." 2 broader-scoped Capstone offered prior to September 1973. He also gave the first simulations course offered at the School. Currently, he instructs the basic management course, International Management and Management Decisions Systems. Before joining the Thunderbird faculty, Dr. Seshan was Staff Planning Analyst, Corporate Planning Studies, for E. 1. duPont de Nemours Company in Wilmington, Delaware, and an IBM Research Fellow, Institute of Industrial Research, Louisville, Kentucky. THUNDERBIRD HOSTS JAPANESE BANKER-STUDENTS Fifty-nine Japanese students from the Japanese-American Conversation Institute of the International Education Center in Tokyo, Japan, were hosted by Thunderbird in January. Their visit to Phoenix was a part of a 25-day tour that began in Los Angeles, with stops in New Orleans, El Paso, and EI Cajon, California. The students, who are all bankers in Japan, represented the largest banks in that country. They attend the JapaneseAmerican Conversation Institute (JACI) after approximately three to six years of working experience. The course in English is six months in duration, and the U.S. tour is the final phase of the program. During the tour the students were exposed to the English language and observed first hand the business and social customs of the people of the United States. After returning to their jobs in Japan, they are available for transfer to branches of their banks that may be opening in other countries. The tour leaders were Dr. Mitsuo Hashimoto, Academic Director, and Mr. Takashi Suzuki, Assistant Head of JACI. The program at Thunderbird was coordinated by Chris Larsen, Director of Special Projects. JAPANESE BUSINESSMEN ENJOY THE NIGHT LIFE AT TH'UN'DERBIRD . PANESE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVES VISIT CAMPUS Thunderbird hosted a group of Japanese r epresentatives from major compa nies for a one-day meeting in F ebruary.

FORMER THUNDERBIRD PRE GUEST PROFESSOR AT I RAN INSTITUTE Former Thunderbird President, Dr. Arthur L. Peterson, spent the Fall '73 semester as a guest professor at the Iran Novin Institute of Political Science in Tehran. Dr. Peterson is Chairman of the Political Science Department at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. The Petersons' son, Jon Martin, spent several weeks in Washington, D.C. working in Senator William Saxbe's office, and during the summer months he assisted in the management of his uncle's sapphire mine near Helena, Montana . Last Fall, the rest of the Peterson family (Connie, Ingrid, Donna and Becky) enjoyed a six weeks' visit to Greece, J erusalem and Tehran. DAVE CAMPBELL SUFFERS STROKE JOHN DAVID CAMPBELL, who r etired in 1971 and one of Thunderbird's most popular professors, suffered a stroke in December and was hospitalized in Phoe nix for several weeks. In January, the Campbell's daughter, Mrs. J ohn Llewellyn, moved Dave and Verna to Louisville, Kentucky where he has been hospitalized since his arrival. We know that the Campbells would enjoy hearing from their Thunderbird friends and may be contacted in care of Mrs. John Llewellyn, 990 Alta Vista Road, Louisville, KY 40205." In recognition of Dave's years of devoted service to Thunderbird, the professorial chair sponsored by the Scaife Family Charitable Trust has been named the John David Campbell Chair of American Business. ABC FEATURES DECOLA REPORT One of the ABC NEWS CLOSEUP features in February was a report on "Women in Prison" produced and directed by JOE DeCOLA, a 1961 Thunderbird graduate. The documentary was a 60-minute televised report on institutions in Ohio, California and West Virginia, where women inmates were filmed and interviewed during work and recreation periods. Joe comments: "Prison practices dehumanize and there is a lack of real rehabilitation programs. We examine whether the system of women's incarceration should be changed or even abolished ." Included in the film were views from prison officials and a report on a community-correction facility in Des Moines, Iowa. One of Joe's earlier efforts was "Mission to Yenan", which ran on NBC a week prior to President Nixon's China trip and received excellent reviews. Since that time he has made a number of documentary films. ARE YOU AWARE OF THE AT THUNDERBIRD? WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE AN ALUMNI EDUCATIONAL COUNSELOR? We want to take this opportunity to express publicly our appreciation to the many alumni who participate in our campus recruiting activities. Last fall, we placed representatives on 155 campuses, at which time contact was made with 1,292 students, in addition to 583 faculty and staff members. For this spring.. we are attempting to place representatives on about 60 campuses. This intensive activity, which is by far the largest graduate school recruiting activity of its kind in the United States, is possible because of the participation of faculty and staff members, current students, and esj3ec-ially alumni. Our alumni representatives made approximately 60% of our campus visits, whereas students account for about 15% of the visits, faculty and staff handle around 25%. T.here are about 250 Alumni Educational Counselors who work with us actively in this respect. As we all know, however, our alumni are mobile and have many demands placed on their time in pursuit of their business obligations. For this reason, we are frequently in a position of not having enough Alumni Educational Counselors in a given area right at the time when we need help. Therefore, we would very much like to have additional alumni volunteers, especially in large campus population districts, such as the Boston-New York City area, the Milwaukee-Chicago-Detroit area, and the San Francisco-Los Angeles area. If you feel that your professional obligations would allow your spending one day in the fall and one day in the spring each- year to visit a campus on our behalf, please write to me as soon as possible to offer )Lour services. Aside from these official Alumni Educational Counselors, there are of course many meFe of you who occasionally counsel students or who disseminate information about the School. Since you are not on our active AEC mailing list, it must be difficult to keep abreast of the many developments on our campus. For this reason, we would like to give you a brief summary of our status. ) ENROLLMENT AND STUDENT BODY COMPOSITION After our record enrollment of 874 students last fall, it was decided to restrict enrollment this spring to approximately 780 students. }i:ox: this reason, in October we stopped accepting applications for the spring. Although the final count has not been determined at the time this report is made, it appears that our spring enrollment will be approximately 777 students. Women should account for about 9% of the enrollment, and students from other countries should represent approximately 18% of the enrollment. It appears that the average age will be 26% years. About 32% of the American males are veterans; about 35% of the students are married. As far as undergraduate majors are conce.rned, between 35% and 40% are in Business Administration, Economics, and related subjects. Political Science/ Government represent about 15-18% of the student body, and languages have equal representation. FAOULTY SIZE· Of the 76 faculty members, 60 are full time, whereas 16 are part time. STANDARDS OF ACOEPTANCE Our basic requirements are that an applicant hold a bachelor's degree or higher from. an accredited institution and a grade point average of 2.5 or better. Experience or accomplishments subsequent to undergraduate work are also considered by the Admissions Committee. APPLICATION DEADLINES There are no deadlines for general applications, although it is advisable to tell prospective students that they should file applications with us at least six months in advance of the semester of preference. (We turned down approximately 130 new applications for this spring semester, back in October.) At no time can we guarantee that the student can be accepted · for any particular semester. On the other hand, there are deadlines for scholarship or assistantship applications. In such cases, all supporting documents should be received here no later than April 1 for the fall semester or summer session, and no later than November 1 for the spring semester. SUMMER SESSION The summer session program has proven to be highly beneficial to the School and a-lk students ·ctmcerned. Last summer, we had 443 enrolled, of which 40 were in the Guadalajara program. Ror this corning summer, we are attempting to restrict enrollment to 440 on this campus plus another 60 in Guadalajara. Students using the summer session can complete the program in 12 months; and it does not matter to s whether the student enters in the spring, summer or fall. WINTERIM The winterim session running from January 2 to January 25 is geared basically to continuing students who want to take up to four credit hours of work, either for credit or for improving a grade in a given course. We have just completed our second winterim, with an enrollment of 330 students. While it is possible for a student to ent er in the winterim, we do not encourage this practice, because of the extreme concentration of the course work and the limitation of courses offered. ~ Tuition is now $1,100 and various miscellaneous fees amount to $125 per semester. The cost of lodging on cam pus is either $215 or $175 for a single student, and eIther $450 or $400 for a married couple per semester depending on choice of accommodations. Q course, a person who lodges on can';pus must also 3 board on campus, and the cost forboar. t is $400 per person per semester. Books and supplies should cost each student al50ut $100 per semester. If you take all of these costs and throw in a little extra for personal expenses, it means that each single student will spend approximately $2,100 per regular semester (although somewhat less during a summer session), if he lives on campus. A married couple living on campus will spend about $3,000 for everything each semester. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION The same basic requirements as outlined on pages 63-64 of the Bulletin still pertain, although these are subject to modification. Each student must complete 48 credit hours of work here on campus including 15 hours in the Department of Modern Language, 9 hours in the Department of International Studies and 15 hours in the Department of World Business. Those students who have already met some of these minimum requirements before entering the School can obtain waivers on such requirements. Those students who enter the program without meeting any of the minimum specified requirements will have only nine elective hours in the total program. The average is 12 to 15 elective hours. Waivers apply, of coul'se, to subject matter only. All students must complete 48 semester hours of work, except those who are in the position of transferring into our program with up to a maximum of 6 credit hours with a grade of B or better taken at an accredited institution, in subjects relating to our curriculum. SUNG KYUN KWAN EXCHANGE PROGRAM We have a working arrangement with Sung Kyun Kwan University in Seoul, Korea, whereby some of our students might take up to 12 semester hours of work on that campus, and whereby some of their students might be able to transfer up to 12 semester hours of work into our program, leading to the Master of International Management degree. There is also some exchange of faculty members. SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY EXCHANGE PROGRAM A program was initiated with Southern Methodist University this past fall, whereby students can earn a joint MIM-MBA degree by taking 30 hours of work here and 30 hours at SMU, requiring two years for the joint degree. NEW COURSES Several new courses were introduced this spring, and more are planned for the fall. 0'f particular interest is the addition of Chinese (Mandarin) language, starting the fall semester, 1974. Some of the new courses introduced this spring are: IS-414 Contemporary Communist China; IS-427 Economic History of Western Europe; IS-438 Inter-American Relations; IS-475 Advanced International Relations; IS-582 Political Modernization. Some of the new courses offered in the Department of World Business are: WB-421 Managerial Finance; WB-432 Production and Operations Management-Systems and Controls; WB-440 Guidelines in Worldwide Operations; WB-452 Sales Management and Retailing; WB-453 Marketing ResearchBuyer Behavior; WB-463 American Business Systems. PLACEMENT The one point we continually emphasize is that our Career Service Center is one of the most active in the country. The student receives group and personal counsel from the day he arrives and a most effective program has been developed over the years. Representatives from approximately 100 to 150 organizations visit campus each year to recruit students, and the Center is in communication with hundreds of other organizations in an effort to lead our graduates to the right professional goal. Approximately 60 % of the last three graduating classes had offers at the time of graduation, and most of these students had multiple offers at that time. In view of the national economic picture this is a reasonably healthy position to be in. In the final analysis, however, it is the student's own efforts and career preparation that makes it possible for him to find his spot in the business world . Our School does not and cannot guarantee an individual a job. FRANK JACKLE HAS THE FLOOR at Gyger retirement party. 4 John J. Arthur, Registrar and College Relations Officer OLDTIMERS AT THUNDERBIRD - (left to right) Fred Gyger, P'aul Wilson, Larry Finney, and Berger Erickson. . trGER RETIRES FRED GYGER, Superintendent of Building and Grounds, was honored at a retirement party on November 1st in the Key Man Lounge. Fred's career dates back to the days when Thunderbird was a pilot training center. Former Thunderbird President, Arthur L. Peterson, once called Fred the "Magician at Thunderbird" because he somehow managed to keep our old World War II structures in remarkably good condition. His ingenuity, creativity, devotion and just plain hard work were combined to not only maintain, but to improve the beauty and serviceability of the campus. As a token of appreciation for his services the School presented Fred with a handsome watch, and the staff and faculty gave him a SUbstantial cash gift to be used in the purchase of a portable work shop for his home. TALK ABOUT STICK-TO-ITIVENESS! FRED GYGER, a 28 year veteran of AIFT, TGSIM and AGSIM, has survived seven pres,idenh, three school names, 150 plus changes ill personnel and more than 8,000 students. • ~tt ~.emnriam TOM WRIGHT FAMILY KILLED IN PARIS CRASH The March 3rd crash of a Turkish jetliner near Orly Airport in France cost the lives of an entire Thunderbird family.

They and all of those who knew him are thankful for a life of unusual service." Survivors include his widow, Elizabeth, of 4567 Cold Springs Road, Indianapolis, Indiana; a son, Dr. Peter Fortune of Harvard University; two daughters, Mrs. Peter M. Thompson of Bellevue, Washington; and Miss Carroll Wild of Indianapolis; two brothers and five grandchildren. DEATH OF PHYLLIS RUSH Phyllis Rush, wife of Bill Rush of the Class of February 1957, died suddenly at their Nassau home on June 27th following a brief illness. Their daughter Karen was with her at the time. 6 We know that Bill would appreciate hearing from his many Thunderbird friends and can be reached at P.O. Box N8337, Nassau. HERBERT HANSEN VI,CTIM OF CANCER Herbert C. Hansen, 43, died on September 4th at a Los Angeles hospital following an illness of several months. Death was attributed to cancer of the liver and pancreas. A native of Kenosha, Wisconsin, he was a graduate of Beloit College, and a June 1956 graduate of Thunderbird. He also held a master of arts degree from Northwestern University and had completed training in business management at Boston University. He was employed by the North America Insurance Company following graduation from Thunderbird and served with that company in England, The Netherlands and in Spain. He later joined the Union Bank in Los Angeles, where he coordinated the bank's services to the insurance industry, and became a Vice President in 1968. In 1969 he established his own company in Los Angeles, offering financial consulting services to the insurance industry. Long an active Lutheran layman, he was chairman of the board of pensions, chairman of the committee on land acquisition and management and chairman of the department of church extension, the Division of American Missions, and of the American Lutheran Church. He was also chairman of the task force for the formation of the Lutheran Outdoor Ministries of Southern California. He had been a member of the Lutheran Brotherhood Board of Directors since 1967. He is survived by his wife, Sheila, a son Clark (who was born at Thunderbird), and three daughters, Krista, Claudia and Karla of 1551 Merriman Drive, Glendale, California 91202. '~CANN '65 CHAIRMANS MERICAN FORTNIGHTHONG KONG DON McCANN, Operations Manager for Kodak (Far East) Ltd., was the 1973 Chairman of the "American Fortnight" in Hong Kong. The biggest trade promotion ever undertaken in Hong Kong by an overseas country was staged in October 1973. There had been exhibitions many times before, but this was the first carried out Colony-wide. Throughout 14 days, some 200 companies with United States associations promoted American-made consumer products and services through over 500 retail and other outlets. A conservative estimate is that spending on the Fortnight by agents, importers, distributors, banks, shipping companies, airlines, retailers and the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong totaled HK$1 million, and that department stores and supermarkets alone inventoried more than $15 million of extra products above their normal purchasing especially for the promotion. American Fortnight was an imaginative commercial venture geared to (a) take the market advantage of the improved price situation stemming from the devaluation of the U.S. dollar (b) help contribute towards solving America's balance-of-payments problem, and (c) to further boost U.S.-Hong Kong business relations. The American Fortnight venture is the result of more than 20 months of planning which began with a suggestion at a meeting of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong that it was the time to promote American-made consumer products and services. What is particularly impressive is that the program was an involvement of the entire American Community including the American Women's Association, Hong Kong International School, the American Club, Servicemen's Guides Association, the Little League, the U.S. Navy and the United States Information Service. Don was assigned to the Hong Kong operations of Kodak in 1966 and has resided there since that time. 8UPPOR'P YOUR ALUJlf~NI FUND!

CALIFORNIA ALUMNUS OF THE YEAR AWARD JACK ROKAHR, who has spent his entire career in the field of international market development, received the 1973 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ALUMNUS OF THE YEAR AWARD at the November meeting in Los Angeles. A graduate of the University of Nebraska and a member of Thunderbird's first graduating class, he joined E. R. Squibb & Son International in 1949 and spent several years in Southeast Asia as a Special Representative. In 1954, he joined Mead Johnson International and was subsequently assigned to Lima, Peru, as South America Regional Manager. He traveled in 66 countries making market studies and promoting Squibb and Mead Johnson lines. Jack joined the U.S. Department of Commerce Field Office in Los Angeles in 1962, and since that time has been primarily engaged in the implementation of the National Export Expansion Program in the 10 Southern California counties. He has been instrumental in the development of many export conferences and seminars in that area. He is currently Assistant to the Director of the Los Angeles Field Office. In 1962, at the invitation of the UCLA Business Extension Department, he developed a course in Fundamentals of Export Trade. He taught this course for ten years, finally retiring in 1972. Some 500 students during that time had the benefit of his expertise and experience. Jack is considered one of the finest instructors in Southern California and is in much demand as a lecturer. He is widely known in international circles and enjoys a wide and excellent reputation in the international business community. In accepting the Award, Jack reminisced about the early days at Thunderbird (which apparently were anything but dull) and recalled many of his classmates of that era. The November 10th meeting of the Southern California Alumni Chapter, held at La Villa Taxco, was attended by approximately 80 alumni and guests. Paul Wilson, Thunderbird's Armco Professor of Accounting for International Management, was also honored at the meeting. Unfortunately, Paul was unable to attend and his award (a desk plaque) was accepted by President William Voris. The Southern California group will hold the customary June meeting. To assure that newcomers in the area will be included in the invitation list we suggest that they contact the Chapter President, Larry Lipsher - Telephone: 789-7505 or 462-2088. Senorita de Noronha, a longtime Thunderbird favorite, has promised to be on hand for this meeting. ENGLAND GROUP HOLD GET ACQUAINTED MEETING The ENGLAND Thunderbirds held a get acquainted cocktail party on Friday evening, March 15th, at the American Club in London.

CHICAGO ALUMNS FETE PRESIDENT We have BOB BEAN and BOB JOHNSON to thank for the last minute "round up" of the CHICAGO area Thunderbirds to honor President Voris when he was in the City to attend the February World Trade Conference. Forty plus alumni and guests met in the conference room of the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry for an informal cocktail party, including first and second generation Thunderbirds- the KEN MILLERS '49 and son, RANDY '73. The get-together stimulated interest in future gatherings and we hope to see a reorganization of the once active Chicago alumni chapter. There is some talk of a summer meeting.

Mr. Patrick was visiting the country at the invitation of the President of Costa Rica. He reports that the luncheon (organized by Jim Dahlstrom '58) was a tremendous success and that he enjoyed meeting the area alumni, who were very enthusiastic about the recent developments at Thunderbird. FASCHING IN MUNICH The EUROPEAN ALUMNI CHAPTER planned to hold its annual Fasching in Munich weekend on February 22/ 23 and 24th. We know that the meeting was the usual success and shall report more on it in the next issue of THE THUNDERBIRD. WASHINGTON D.C. ALUMS HOLD FIRST DECEMBER-FEST The Bavarian Restaurant at 727 11th Street, N.W. in Washington, D.C. was the scene of the first DECEMBER-FEST hosted by the D.C. Group.

Election of officers was held with Henry Avalos '70 being voted into the Presidency, Eugene Castle '71, Vice President, and Tom Brewer '61, Secretary-Treasurer. The retiring President, Steve Conger '50, did a marvelous job of reorganizing the D.C. Chapter, and we hope that it will continue to be a success. 7 PRESIDENT VORIS and MRS.

INCLUDE YOUR GIFT MATCHING FORM 9 FUND RAISING I '" I ' 1973 ALUMNI GIFTS TOTAL $25,41 7 Thanks to the loyal support of our alumni and friends the 1973 ALUMNI FUND totaled $25,417, This is, by far, the highest figure in the history of Thunderbird. The total number of con tributors tripled and the average size gift rose to $20. Company support under the Matching Gift Program also increased. While it is especially pleasing to note that many of our alumni continue each year as donors, it is very disappointing to report that in spite of the increase in giving less than 9% of our total alumni body donated during the year. Through a special appeal to the non-givers (scheduled for May 1974) we hope to double this percentage by the end of the year. If we accomplish this we can complete the Dining Hall Renovation in 1974 and select a new project. PLEASE JOIN THE "HONOR LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS", THE "CENTURY" OR "DIAMOND CLUB", BY SENDING IN YOUR CONTRIBUTION TODAY. Remember your gift is tax-deductible and that many of our employing companies participate in a Gift Matching Program. If your company has such a program PLEASE include the form with your donation.

REICHENBACH LEONARDS DlTCH INSURANCE BUSINESS TO PURSUE CAREERS IN WRITING Although it is not recommended that well established alumni "ditch" a lucrative and satisfying occupation to gamble on a career in writing, the W AL T LEONARDS '49 of Phoenix did just that and found almost immediate success and recognition in the literary field. Until three years ago, Walt and Phyllis opera ted a very successful insurance agency in the Valley, and while Phyl had always dreamed of writing, and sold two magazine articles some twenty years ago, the couple had no r eal lite r a ry ambitions until recently. Visitors arriving at the Leonard home, situated on 47 acres adjacent to South Mountain, are usually hil arious by the time they master the bumpy drive (appropriately dubbed the "Baja Practice Run") and see along the way the conglomeration of debris and signs. For example, bes ide a scoop shovel is a sign that reads "Our First Scoop" - an old chamber pot with "Rejection Slip Deposit" - a rusty plow with "Who says we ain't cultivated" and a sign by the gallows reads "Hang one on!" The Leonards took a chance and it has certainly paid off. During the last three years, the Leonard Corporation has publi sh ed works in seven newspapers, 20 consumer magazines (including youth magazines ) and 40 trade journals. CORSON Phyl's first novel "Prey of the Eagle" will be released in June. It is a gothic novel set near Mexico City in the 1880's. It was accepted by the first publisher (David McKay Co. Inc. of New York) to whom it was submitted. Phyl has a teenage historical novel in the making and David McKay Co. has an option on the second gothic novel also underway. Walt is writing an adventure novel set in Baja in the 1850's. Walt is the interviewer and photographer of the team, and Phyllis is the researcher. She comments: "We've approached free lancing as a business, not as a romance, but with romance in our souls. We're an odd combination. We're very conservative, but we've always gambled on our business." CONTINENTAL BANK PROMOTES TWO Two Thunderbird graduates were recently promoted by Continental Bank of Chicago. ROBERT B. TANKERSLEY '61, who joined the Bank in 1972 and was elected an officer in 1973, has been named a Vice President in the Bank's trust department. Before joining Continental, Bob was Manager of one of the Brazil branches of First National City Bank. PAUL M. WATSON '65 has been promoted to a second vice president in the international banking division.

The Corsons are now living in Sao Paulo. na tional banking officer in 1971. He was previously with the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company. BOB BEAN BACK WITH CHICAGO ASSOCIATION ROBERT L. BEAN '48 has been reappointed Director, World Trade Division of the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry. He filled the post from 1956 to 1963, when he resigned and joined the staff of Luis A. Ferre, Puerto Rican industrialist, philanthropist and political leader in Ponce. He returned to Illinois in 1965 to join the State Department of Business and Economic Development as Coordinator, first of special projects, then programs in the international field . Promoting the sale abroad of Illinois products and the s tate as a locale for foreign-owned enterprises, he worked with government and business officials, including the consular corps of Chicago. He also represented the state at trade shows in which it participated in Japan, Brazil and Mexico. Bob rejoined the Association last July as Executive Director of the Export to Japan Trade Fair and Trade with Japan Week. He is a Director of the International Trade Club of Chicago and the Japan America Society of Chicago. Bob and his wife, Alice, vacationed in Southern Arizona over the holidays but unfortunately, the gas shortage precluded a visit to campus. 13 DORIS PAINE '47, "RESIDENT OF FRIENDS OF THUNDERBIRD Friends of Thunderbird, a long-nceded auxiliary to thc School, came to life in November 1973 at the instigation of Mrs. William Voris. Organized to include both men and women, the group consists of volunteers who work in conjunction with the administration to provide services that are beyond the budget of the school and the time of the faculty and staff. Many of the members are alumni or alumni-related; others are just what the names describes - friends of Thunderbird. Meetings are held five times during thc school year from September through May. Membership classifications include Active ($10 a year), Associate ($25 a year), and Life ($200). Officers for this initial year are President, Mrs. Jordan Paine; First Vice-President, Mrs. Eugene Tompane; Second Vice-President (Membership), Mrs. Wm. Shields; Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. Tom McSpadden; Liaison to the President, Mrs. Wm. Voris. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Primary project of the group has been service to the students from abroad, who now number about 18% of the student body. In the past, individuals have provided hospitality and friendship to some of them; Friends of Thunderbird aim to help each man and woman leave the school not only with an academic education, but with friends who are part of the community and an understanding of the life and businesses in this area. Initiated at the beginning of this spring semester, individual Friends of Thunderbird have been meeting the newcomers at Sky Harbor, providing transportation to the school, and helping them get established in their rooms on campus. Host families are planning a desert picnic for these students in March, and hospitality in members' homes will continue throughout the semester. TRADE FAIR Second sphere of interest for FOT is the annual Trade Fair. Sponsored by the Thunderbird Women's Club to finance a scholarship, this annual fund-raising and informative event weighs heavily on the girls, most of whom are working wives as well as being new to the area. The new auxiliary expects to provide man and woman power in the form of local contact as well as help the day of the event. FOT has made arrangements for a ride in a hot-air balloon leaving from the campus that afternoon. The ride will be top prize in a raffle to be held that day along with exhibits, entertainment, and foods. AUCTION '75 Next year the Trade Fair will again include an auction. The call is out to all alums to donate an item that can be sold, hopefully for a fabulous price. If you're overseas and coming back at some time in the next year, the easy way is to bring something home and mail it from anywhere in the States. It's your tax-deductible contribution to the School. Address it to Trade Fair '75, Thunderbird Campus, Glendale, Ariz. 85306. Be sure to include your name and address, and send it anytime in the next year. Your receipt will be in the mail to you immediately, and our thanks will be forever. HOSPITALITY When we have distinguished visitors on campus, FOil' will be on hand to aid in planning receptions and other social events, as well as providing sightseeing and other hospitality as may be appropriate. Since campus activities (such as classes) sometimes interfere with student attendance at talks by some of our visitors, this auxiliary will invite citizens of the community to share in these events, thus providing a public relations service as well as an appreciative audience.
