Thunderbird is off to an excellent start for 1972-73. There are 685 students
enrolled which is the second largest enrollment in our history. This includes
345 new students from 300 colleges and universities and from 40 countries
around the world. The foreign student population totals 98.
A new five-year development plan has been adopted which is based on a
maximum enrollment of 750 students. The Board of Directors has decided
to avoid further investment in new buildings but rather to rebrbish what
we have. Probably all of you remember the primitive conditions which
existed ill! the dormitories and dining hall, and these facilities remain almost
the same.
In keeping with the five-year plan, refurnishing of all dormitories is taking
place and refrigeration of all units will be started soon. A new phone
system has provided every room with a private phone. Naturally, these
changes cost money, but a lot less than would be needed if new dormitories
were to be built.
The School will need about $2,500,000 over the five-year period for the
scheduled refurbishment, faculty salary increases, and the replacement of
aging utilities. Since contributions will be of benefit to the future of
Thunderbird, as well as being tax deductible, we hope all of you will help.

Weldon Gibson August Commencement Speaker
"International Business in the Seventies" was the title of the address delivered to the
August graduates by Dr. Weldon B. Gibson, Executive Vice President of Stanford
Research Institute and President of SRI-International.
Among the 191 candidates for the Master's degree were 24 foreign students representing

SCHULZ of LaGrange, Illinois, and STEVE A. SCHLEIS MAN of West Des Moines,
Iowa. The Alfred Knight Scholarship Award is given for excellence in scholastic
One of the highlights of the commencement exercises was the honoring of Professor
Paul Wilson, for his twenty-five years of devoted service to Thunderbird. As Professor
of Accounting, Paul will be remembered by hundreds of Thunderbirds as the
man who taught them the difference between a debit and a credit, and who explained
the intricate workings of corporate finance. In the following photo, Paul's charming
wife, Pauline, joins him on the podium as he delivers a few words of appreciation.
In 1973, we hope to substantially increase alumni giving by conducting a Telefund
drive in all major U.S. cities, and in other areas of the world where there is a large
concentration of alumni. The Thunderbird Alumni Telefund will be a combined
effort between the Lambda Chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon and Thunderbird. Our goal
is $100,000.
With our alumni scattered as they are, located literally in all parts of the globe,
direct mail solicitations have been our main fund-raising effort. Many U.s. colleges
and universities have found the Telefund method to be far more effective, bringing
in a return from 45 to 60% as compared with a 3 to 5% response from direct mail
True, we have less than 8,000 alumni to draw from, which is only a "drop in the
bucket" when compared with the alumni body of many colleges and universities;
however, raising $100,000 from 8,000 Thunderbirds should be an easy job if everyone
will cooperate.
At the October 14 meeting of the Southern California Alumni Chapter, we announced
our plans for the Telefund drive in that area, and received enthusiastic response from
the alumni and a promise to do more than their share to start the drive on its way.
As Chairman of the Southern California Telefund Drive, JIM BONNER '59 will have
the wholehearted support of the Chapter Board of Directors, the area alumni and
Thunderbird. By the last of November each Alumnus in the area will receive a letter
from Jim, explaining the Telefund plan. This letter will be followed by a telephone
call or personal visit from Jim, or from one of his co-chairmen. Contributions may
be made on a cash basis, or on a monthly, semi-monthly, semi-annual or annual
Between the time you receive the initial letter announcing the Telefund Drive and
the time you receive the personal call from the area chairman, we urge you to
examine your budget and make your plans for a substantial cash contribution, or a
pledge on the installment plan. REMEMBER, YOUR GIFT IS TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.
One-half of the proceeds from the Southern California drive will be credited to the
Southern California Chapter Thunderbird Scholarship Fund, and the balance will go
toward the completion of the Dining Hall Project.
To ease the workload of the area chairmen, we have consented to do most of the
paper work involved. All contributions will be acknowledged by the Alumni Office,
and those on scheduled payments will be billed from this office.
As Dr. Voris mentioned in the "President's Message" our Board of Directors plan to
raise $2,500,000 over a five-year period to meet the increasing demands of Thunderbird.
Let us show our appreciation to the Board who have devoted many years to the
development of the School by giving as generously as we can.

PROFESSOR and STUDENT EXCHANGE BETWEEN
In the Spring and Summer issues of THE THUNDERBIRD, we mentioned that negotiations
were underway for a sister relationship between Thunderbird and Sung Kyun
Kwan University in Seoul, Korea. At the invitation of the Korean University, President
Voris made a trip to Seoul last Spring to further discuss the relatienship and to
exchange ideas.
The sistership has been established, and an exchange of students and professors
began in September, when three second-semester students from Thunderbird entered

To be accepted for the exchange program the student must be single, must have

Selected exchange students will have all tuition and fees waived by Sung Kyun Kwan
University for their semester in residence, and room and board will be provided by

to 12 credit hours to Thunderbird toward the M.I.M. degree.
Exchange students coming from the Korean University will take the regular Thunderbird
curriculum, including language, area studies and internatienal management
subjects. Their language will be "English as a Second Language." Our students going
there will continue with the foreign language they are taking here, which will
probably be Japanese. They will alse be able to take international marketing, international

SCHOOl! OF
No doubt there were a number of Thunderbird spectators at the 1972 Summer
o.lympics in Munich and they were probably unaware that two of the participants
were T'birders - Gary Hoyt '56 and Julieta Flores '58.
Julieta, formerly of Nogales, Arizona, served as a hostess for the o.lympics and was
garbed in the o.lympic dirndle in the style of the regional dress of Bavaria. As
hostess for the cultural department, she toured in English and Spanish the guests
attending the olympic exhibition entitled "World Cultures and Modern Art" - the
influence of Asia, Africa and Indo-America on European art.
Gary Hoyt, famed as Puerto Rico's top sailor, finished third in the 1965 World Snipe
Championships and came up with 8th place in his class (Tempest) during the preo.
lympic regattas held in Kiel last year. 1972 brought a run of bad luck for Gary
and his best 19>72 o.lympic finish among islanders was 16th place of 21 entries in the
Tempest class, and 18th in the last of seven races. Better luck next year!
o.n the business side of life, Gary is Senior Vice President, Latin America & Far East
Division of Young & Rubicam and is based in Santurce, P.R.
Julieta plans to return to Munich to attend the translating school, Schmitz Dolmetscher
Institute, specializing in the international trade terminology in English,
German, Spanish and Portuguese, and plans to eventually enter this field since
Germany is at the moment an active trade partner with Latin America. For a time
she was assistant advertising manager for the Latin American and Far East operations
of the Gillette Company. She was later employed by Iberia, the Spanish air line.

The Third Annual INTERNATIONAL AUCTION and WORLD TRADE FAIR
will be held on April 14, 19'73. The Women's Club wants to again thank those
Alums who sent items which were auctioned last year. We will be contacting
overseas Thunderbirds with a request for an "international item" in the near
future. We hope that you will be able to either mail your donation or send it
with returning friends or relatives. The success of our Auction depends on
your generosity and help.
Proceeds from last year's event totaled $1,400!! We were able to purchase
both a 1,6mm sound-film projector and a 3'5mm slide projector. Money was
also donated to the Nursery. The campus as a whole benefits from the proceeds
of your donation, and very much appreciate it.
Thank you and best wishes for the holiday season.
Terry Scheiber (Mrs. Stanley C.)
Chairman, INTERNATIONAL AUCTION
Thunderbird Women's Club

In a Dinner Rut? 5 Fresh Weeknight Menus for Spring
If you're feeling a little uninspired lately, you aren't alone — we call it the springtime slump. It seems to peak around dinnertime, when the contents of our fridges and pantries just look so...boring. Injecting a new recipe or two into the repertoire just doesn't seem to cut it. Instead, we're here with a whole week of weeknight-friendly dinner menus, with options for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free eaters, too. Ready to shake up your weekly dinner rotation?
Menu 1: A Light Spring Pasta Meal
- Spaghetti with Mascarpone, Meyer Lemon, Spinach, and Hazelnuts
- Crunchy Spring Salad with Dill Dressing
Socca Flatbread with Spring Pesto and Salad
Menu 2: A Fresh Take on Soup & Flatbread (Vegan & Gluten-Free)
Menu 3: Roasted Chicken & Potatoes for a New Season
Roasted Chicken Thighs with Fennel & Lemon
Menu 4: A Simple, Spiced Indian Supper (Vegetarian)
Menu 5: A Fish Dinner with Asian Flavors
