SUMMER
1972
I'm happy to report that the School has had a very successful year. We have had an
average enrollment of about 650 students for the year and currently have 354 in attend­ance
at the summer session. We project about 670 enrollment for the fall of 1972.
We have made good progress in bringing about the proper mix of theory and
pragmatism necessary to prepare international management people for the '70's. In the
World Business Department particularly, we are now offering courses which give the
student the requisite background in theory and the sound application of theory to the
real world of management decision making. It is the kind of blend, the multi-national
corporations tell us, which allows our graduates to compete most successfully with
others climbing the corporate structure.
Mr. John Drake, who was an executive with the Ogden Corporation for several
years, will become Chairman of the Department of World Business in September. He
was educated at Oxford University in England and spent many years in business
before deciding to go back to school and prepare himself for a new career in higher
education. He is completing a doctorate in business administration at the University of
Washington.
Other new faculty include Professor Geer in International Economics coming from
the University of Colorado; Professor Shabrawy in Internaticmal Marketing, from the
University of Illinois; Professor Trapans in Soviet and Eastern European Studies, from
the University of California, Berkeley; Professor Klein in French, from New York
University; and Professor Johnson from University of California, Los Angeles, in
English as a Foreign Language. It is an outstanding group of people who will add
substantially to our program.
The great need of the School is additional financial support by corporations and
by alumni. Eighty-five percent of the annual income of the School comes from student
tuition. This is a dangerous situation. All of us are aware of the great contribution the
School has made over the last 26 years. It seems only fair to me that the people and
organizations who have benefited from this small private, nonprofit institution should
help to keep it going. A check for $10 from each of you alumni would be an outstanding
contribution to completing the absolutely essential renovating of the increasingly ob­solete
dining hall.
Won't you help us?

Y&R PRESIDENT ADDRESSES GRADUATES
Mr. Edward N. Ney, President of Young & Rubicam International Inc., commended
the May graduates on their choice of an international career. "My personal experi­ence
and prediction is that you will find more interest and opportunity in interna­tional
service than is possible in any parallel domestic ability."
He added: "I believe you will find that the surge in international communications
capability has created, and will continue to create a new kind of multi-national
consciousness - a new sort of hybrid world citizen who resists precise definition
because he is neither local enough to comfortably fit any purely national description,
nor fully as international as a lot of dreamers and planners would have postulated."
Ney, chief executive officer of one of the world's largest multinational advertising
agencies, said that sales and profits success remain critically important, but that in
the future the health of a company could not be judged by simply studying its
financial statements.
"If we in business will bring the same degree of talent, dedication and investment to
the problems of pollution, addiction and integration as we do to the problem of
Brand X versus Brand Y, the world will be a distinctly better and happier place
and we will have allowed business the larger sphere its own dynamism is geared for."
Another highlight of the graduation exercises was the bestowing of an honorary
doctorate degree upon Dr. Dong-Myo Park, President of Sung Kyun Kwan Univer­sity
in Seoul, which has used Thunderbird as a model for its management school.
Thunderbird and the Korean university are establishing an exchange of students,
teachers, and materials.
The Barton Kyle Yount Award for scholarship, character, desire and potential
ability to serve the American free enterprise system abroad, was presented to
McDiarmid R. Messenger of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. A graduate of California State
College, he was president of the Associated Students Legislative Council at Thunder­bird.
He has accepted a position with American Express and will be based in New
York City during his training period.
Grier H. Cooper was the recipient of the Wall Street Journal Award, a distinction
conferred on a graduate for outstanding performance in the field of accounting, and
particularly in the analysis of financial statements. Grier has accepted a position
with American International Group and will be training in the Boston area.
The Athletic Award was presented to Gary Ridgeway Jaeckel, for total points earned
through participation in the various athletic programs offered at Thunderbird.
The Marketing Club Award in recognition of the outstanding research report in
foreign marketing was conferred upon Hiroshi Shoji for his report entitled "Japan
as a Golf Club Market."
The Phoenix Newspapers Advertising Awards and the Jonas Mayer Alumni Award
are reported under a separate heading.

PROPOSED EXCHANGE PROGRAM
BETWEEN THUNDERBIRD AND
UNIVERSIDAD "JORGE
T ADEO LOZANO"
Professor Jaime A. Perez, of the Thun­derbird
Department of Modern Lan­guages,
recently visited the Universidad
"Jorge Tadeo Lozano" in Bogota, Co­lombia,
to discuss a cultural exchange
program between that School and Thun­derbird.
The exchange program would
be for a two-week period and would
involve both students and faculty mem­bers.
The Universidad "Jorge Tadeo Lozano"
is a private institution located in the
center of downtown Bogota in two very
modern six-floor complex buildings
with spacious and well-equipped class­rooms
with many facilities for faculty
and students.
The program of the School of Interna­tional
Commerce, established in 1968
with the cooperation of the OAS (Or­ganization
of the American States)
through the CIPE (Centro Interameri­cano
de Promocion de Elxportaciones),
is an undergraduate program with 9
semesters. The courses are devoted to
investigating the problems faced by of­ficial
and private institutions in the
international market, not only from the
Colombian point of view but also from
a global point of view. At the present
time, the School has only an under­graduate
program. The Dean expressed
his interest in a Graduate program, and
in organizing a language program within
the School similar to that of Thunder­bird.
Present enrollment of the Universidad
is 4,000 middle class and high-middle
class students with 300 students en­rolled.
in the School of International
Commerce.
While in Bogota, J aime contacted nu­merous
Thunderbirds and was delighted
when KEN SEWARD '57, President of
the Colombian operations of Johnson &
Higgins, and PETER MOOG, President
of the Bogota Alumni Chapter, organ­ized
a cocktail party in his honor with
some 15 alumni attending.
He discussed the proposed exchange
program with the Bogota group and
they enthusiastically agreed to support
such a program, to cooperate with the
School of International Commerce of
the local University in organizing dif­ferent
activities for the program, to
propitiate the visit of our students to
the American companies and to wel­come
our students as guests in their
homes in order to share with them
their experience in working in a foreign
country.
Thanks to Ken, the School of Interna­tional
Commerce will be able to contact
the following American officials in Co­lombia:
Mr. German Garcia, member of
the Fulbright Commission and Mr.
James Smith, AID Educational Advisor.
Through those contacts the Universidad
will seek scholarships for their students
in order for them to continue graduate
studies at Thunderbird.
HORNING TO RECEIVE ALFRED
KNIGHT SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
Ralph Hansen Horning of Devon, Penn­sylvania,
will receive the Alfred Knight
Scholarship Award for excellence in
scholastic accomplishments. A May 1972
graduate, Ralph achieved a "I" average,
with a total of 53 credit hours.
He has accepted a position with Manu­facturers
Hanover Trust Company and
will train in the New York City head­quarters.

WORLD BUSINESS
CHAIRMAN APPOINTED
Mr. John E. Drake has been appointed
Chairman of the Department of World
Business at Thunderbird, effective Sep­tember
1, 1972.
Mr. Drake, born in England and now a
U.S. citizen, received his B.S. degree in
Engineering Science and his M.A. de­gree
in Modern History from Oxford
University in England. He is presently
completing his Ph.D. degree in Business
Administration at the University of
Washington, where he also teaches a
graduate course, The Context of the
Business System.
He has been associated with the World
Bank since 1965 as a special advisor on
loan activities. He has also been em­ployed
by the Ogden Corporation, spe­cializing
in cost control systems, cost
analysis, financial analysis and contract
management in middle and senior man­agement
positions. In addition, he has
served as a consultant to the Boeing
Company, Litton Industries and Engi­neering
Corporation of America.
Mr. Drake is married and the father of
two children. The family will relocate
in the Phoenix area.
CENTREX COMES
TO THUNDERBIRD
Anyone passing the rear wing of the
administration building might think
that the Nippon Electric Company, Ltd.
and the Western Electric Company had
moved a part of their operations to
Thunderbird, for their signs grace the
door of the apartment formerly occu­pied
by Senorita de Noronha.
The truth is, Centrex is coming to
Thunderbird and representatives from
those companies are on campus to in­stall
the rather complicated system.
Once the installation is completed, Ma
Bell will provide phones in all dormi­tory
rooms, thus eliminating paging for
phone calls and/ or messages, and will
provide private phone service to each
office. Hopefully, the project will be
completed by the first of September.

PRESIDENT OF SUNG KYUN KWAN UNIVERSITY
VISITS THUNDERBIRD
Dr. Dong-Myo Park, President of Sung Kyun Kwan University in Seoul, Korea, was
an honored guest when he visited campus in May to receive an honorary doctorate
from Thunderbird, and to further discuss the "sister" relationship between the two
Schools. Earlier this year the university in Seoul conferred a like degree on President
Voris.
Sung Kyun Kwan has added a graduate school of foreign trade patterned after the
curriculum at Thunderbird and the two schools plan continuing exchanges of stu­dents,
teachers and materials.
In addition to his presidential duties for the University, Dr. Park has been Minister
of Agriculture, Republic of Korea; President of the Korean Institute of Agricultural
Economics; Member of the Monetary Board, Bank of Korea; Economic Advisor to the
Chairman of the National Supreme Reconstruction Council; and is currently Presi­dent
of the Korean Federation of Educational Associations and Chairman of Korea
FAO Association.
Sung Kyun Kwan was founded in 1304 by King Chung Yol of the Koryo Dynasty.
At that time it was located at Kae Sung in what is today North Korea. Students from
all over the nation attended the School and were taught Confucian morality and
ethics as well as science and the arts.
In 1398, during the reign of King Tae Jo of the Yi Dynasty, the University was moved
to its present location. At this time, 360 lower schools were established throughout
Korea with Sung Kyun Kwan as the center.
The original buildings on this site were destroyed during the Japanese invasion of
1592, and were quickly rebuilt. Some of these structures still stand, and are sur­rounded
by beautiful and very modern buildings. The campus is sprinkled with
large Ginko trees which date back some six hundred years when the School was
moved to the present site.
As the sister relationship between Sung Kyun Kwan University and Thunderbird
develops it will be reported in THE THUNDERBIRD.
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH by Dr. Dong-Myo Park, President of Sung Kyun Kwan University,
follows conferring of doctorate degree.
1972 INTERNATIONAL AUCTION TOPS 1971 FIGURE
Proceeds from the 1972 International
Auction and World Trade Fair, spon­sored
by the Thunderbird Women's
Club, t opped last year's figure of $1500.
The funds were used to purchase a Bell
& Howell 16mm movie projector with
stand, a 35mm slide projector and a
portable screen for the School.
Alumni participation also surpassed
that of last year with gifts donated from
some twenty countries. Articles were
also received from such celebrities as
Pearl Bailey, Jack Benny, Rudy Vallee,
Jerry Lewis, Spiro Agnew, Sonny and
Cher, Barry Goldwater and others.
In addition to the Auction stand, many
booths surrounded the central quad,
featuring everything from soft drinks to
original paintings by Professor Bosc,
European imports from Atlantic Inter­national,
art treasures from Tanzania,
spin and poster painting, leather work
and metal sculpture.
Although each contributor has been in­dividually
thanked by the Women's
Club, we wish to add the thanks and
appreciation of the entire Thunderbird
community.

RESULTS OF CAMPUS
RECRUITING
By means of this report, we want to
express our appreciation to the Thun­derbird
alumni who have given so much
of their time and energies to assist the
School in our nation-wide recruiting ac­tivities.
We started a new recruiting
drive in June of 1971, as it had become
obvious by then that a much greater
effort would be required than in past
years to attract the same number of
qualified prospective students. Thanks
to the considerable efforts made by ap­proximately
200 alumni around the na­tion,
as well as by some of our cur­rently
enrolled students and also faculty
and staff, we have doubled our recruit­ing
activities during the period in ques­tion.
Part of our new program involved ex­perimenting
with summer recruiting in
1971, and we managed to schedule visits
to 19 campuses. (The response to sum­mer
recruiting was very limited, as we
had anticipated.) From the summer of
1971 through the close of the spring
recruiting period in April of this year,
we attempted to schedule a total of 315
campus visits around the country. This
is a considerable endeavor for a school
of our size, when one considers that
very few graduate schools recruit on
more than 30 campuses per year, and
that it is rare to exceed 50 per year.
During these visits, a total of 1,253 stu­dents
were interviewed individually. In
addition, our representatives were in­vited
to address various classes on 11
occasions, which provided an audience
of approximately 300 more students.
Olson '50 Receives The Jonas Mayer Alumni Award
Sherman J. Olson, Pacific Coast ~anager for American Foreign Insurance Company,
received the Jonas Mayer Alumm Award at the May graduation exercises. The honor
IS annually bestowed upon an alumnus who has notably advanced himself personally,
and who at the same time has shed credit on his organization and on the cause of his
country's international commerce and position.
Mr. F . Arthur Mayes, President of AFIA Worldwide Insurance of New York, was
present to confer the A ward.
?herm, better known to his friends as "Jerry", joined AFIA at its New York Offices
m December 1950 and was assigned to Rio de Janeiro in December 1951. He remained
in Brazil until his return to the U.S. to take his present post in October 1970. In
AFIA's Brazil organization he served as Manager of the Rio de Janeiro Branch from
1956 to 1959. In 1959, he was appointed Supervisor for Brazil and was named
Resident Vice President for Brazil in 1965.
He is an honorary life member of the American Chamber of Commerce for Brazil and
served as President and then for many years as Director of that organization. He was
also Treasurer and Director of the American Society of Rio de Janeiro, Founding
Member and PreSident of the North American Social Assistance Fund for Rio de
Janeiro; President, and for 17 years Direct.or of Our Lady of Mercy Elementary and
High Schools, and Director of the American School in Rio de Janeiro. He also served
as Director of the American Club of Rio de Janeiro and was a Founding Member,
Treasurer and Director of the Rio de Janeiro Chapter of Serra International a
community service organization dedicated to work among the underprivileged. 'In
1967, he was named honorary citizen of Rio de Janeiro ("Carioca Honoraria") which
has a coveted award distinguishing those foreigners who have made special contri­butions
to the development of Rio de J aneiro.
His wife, Edith, was also very active in community activities and for a time was
associated with Jenny Phillips '47 in conducting a school for underprivileged children
in Rio.
Jerry and his wife, Edith, reside in Walnut Creek, California, and have three chil­dren,
Michael 26, David 19, and Emily 3. David accompanied his parents to campus
in May.
MR. F. ARTHUR MAYES, President of AFIA Worldwide Insurance, listens as Jerry Olson
gives acceptance speech as winner of the 1972' Jonas Mayer Alumni Award.
Equally important were the individual
faculty contacts. As a result of the fac­ulty
luncheons, but also including a few
personal office visits, our representa­tives
were able to meet 1,037 faculty
members during this same period. The
value of such faculty contacts is con­siderable
in the total recruiting picture,
for each faculty member who is favor­ably
impressed can develop interest in
the Thunderbird program among future
graduate students as well as among
other faculty.
Thunderbird Graduate School is deeply
indebted to the many alumni who spend
a day or more in the fall and in the
spring to interview prospective students
on our behalf (and especially to those
who have done numerous visits over the
years) . We are also grateful to some of
you who have given so much of your
time to coordinating efforts to locate
qualified alumni in various areas to
cover the campuses where we have firm
commitments. For such assistance to the
School over the years, we are particu­larly
grateful to alumni such as: W. Ted
J ohnson (,54) and J . Patrick Hughes
('61), who have' done so much with
other Los Angeles alumni for the gen­eral
benefit of Thunderbird; Robert J .
Brown (,56), who covers considerable
territory for us in the state of Washing­ton;
Marlon E. Willson (,51), who has
visited campuses all over the state of
Florida; Joseph A. Hopkins (,56), who
has helped us out of tight spots many
times in the Chicago area; Ronald F.
Faust ('58), who has helped make Mon­tana
one of our most active recruiting
areas; Dave G. Hampton (,67), who has
done so much for the School in North
Carolina; Michael J . Heims (,6;!), who
has done the honors for us many times
in Vermont; Thomas J . M.achia ('54),
who has done so much to mcrease our
enrollment of Texans; Charles C. Mitch­ell
(,50), whose considerable activities

THUNDERBIRD'S FIRST LADY REPORTS
ON HIGHLIGHTS OF KOREA TRIP
By Mavis Voris
I wish that all Thunderbirds could have shared directly the warm welcome and the
expressions of regard for our school which we received during our recent trip to
Asia. Sung Kyun Kwan University invited us to Seoul to confer an honorary doc­torate
on my husband, as president of Thunderbird, and to establish ties between our
school and their Graduate School of Foreign Trade. This trip, financed by SKK,
gave us the opportunity also to meet with alumni, businessmen and educators in
Seoul, Honolulu, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Manila. We were well aware that T'bird
students are remarkable; now we know that the business and academic leaders of
the countries we visited agree. We could have flown home without a plane, I think.
First, we decided to limit the baggage and take along our younger 15-year-old son
Michael. He was under five years of age when we traveled throughout Asia and
Europe and lived in Teheran and Beirut, and grew up ever asking "Have I been
there?" Besides, he's a good photographer.
With joy and high expectations, that
were never unfilled, we took off for
Honolulu on March 31. We were met
with smiles and leis by T'birds Harry
Fanning '59 and John Butler '64, and
enjoyed a party with alumni that eve­ning.
We arrived in Tokyo the next day
and were greeted by a future Thunder­bird
of Dentsu, Phil Wilken '70 of Mid­land
Corporation, and Bill Fitzgerald
'62 of Admiral International Enterpris-es,
Ltd.
While Mike and I enjoyed Tokyo and
Nikko for three days, Bill (Pres. Voris)
visited the Japan Institute for Interna-­tiona
1 Studies and Training, Dentsu
Advertising, Johnson's Wax, Republic
National Bank of Dallas, and MIdland
Corp.; then he joined us for an evening
with the Tokyo alumni.
On April 6 we landed at Kim Po Air­port
in Seoul, a televized arrival, met
by Dr. Dong-Myo Park, President of
Sung Kyun Kwan; Do-Yung Chung,
Dean of the Graduate School of Foreign
Trade; Dong-Ho Hahn, Professor of
Business; Se Ung Lee (,70); and other
representatives of the University and
the press.
It is astounding how many people we
met, historical sites we visited, and
honors we received during the next six
days. First in importance was the doc­torate
presentation: the anthems of Ko­rea
and the U.S.A. played by a quintet
of the National Symphony and the .pres­entation
of beautiful robe, hood, and
dual language degree encased in blue
velvet. From the Shin-il Foundation,
chaired by Bong Soo Lee, father of
T'bird Se Ung Lee, came honorary
membership in the foundation and a
reception by 3500 junior and high school
students clapping to the strains of An­chors
Aweigh. We also received frolll
the Lees a six panel antique screen.
There were TV interviews, tennis
matches, and visits to other universities
and the historical sights near Seoul,
Pusan, and the awesome demilitarized
zone between South and North Korea.
Thunderbird has good friends in the
Republic of Korea and these bonds shall
become more close and relevant in the
future. Truly with regret, we flew off
to glamorous Hong Kong on April 11th.
erings; it is not possible to mention all
of their names. However, we enjoyed
their welcome and found that they are
each exceptional people. It was our joy
to meet them and we are proud of their
accomplishments. We wish we could
have spent more time at each stop so
that we might know them better.
This May graduation Dr. Park was our
special guest and' received an honorary
doctorate from Thunderbird. To equal
our grand reception in Seoul it seemed
that offering him the Grand Canyon
might be apt. We did fly him there, with
a T'bird pilot, on a very windy day.
Happily, he survived the buffeting and
an agreement for exchange of students,
faculty, and materials has been set into
motion.
Our trip was a shining light, and the
future looks very bright indeed. It is
marvelous to be associated with Thun­derbird.

A SPECIAL VOTE OF THANKS
Our hats are off to the Honolulu, Ma­nila,
Tokyo, Seoul and Hong K<?~g
Thunderbirds who did such a magmfI­cent
job of entertaining President and
Mrs. Voris and their son, Mike, during
their stay in the above-mentioned cities.
The Honolulu arrangements were
made by Harry Fanning '59 and John
Butler '64; in Manila, by Yves Cocke
'60 and Sam Eastabrooks '58; in Hong
Kong by Joe Culver '57; in Tokyo by
Bill Fitzgerald '62 assisted by numerous
local Thunderbirds, and in Seoul, Ko­rea,
we have Al Barr '60 to thank.
We were particularly pleased with the
many photos that were taken at the
various meetings, many of which appear
in this publication. We also wish to
thank Mike Voris, who is fast becoming
a professional photographer and added
many pictures to our collection.
We regret that we have no photos of the
Seoul gathering, however, Al Barr put
forth every effort to have a professional
photographer on hand. Because the
building which houses the Seoul Club,
where the meeting was held. also houses
the Korea Exchange Bank, the security
is very tight and the photographer was
refused admittance at the main en­trance.

alumni group photos)
Faculty Members Selected As Outstanding Educators
Two faculty members of Thunderbird have been chosen as Outstanding Educators
of America for 1972. They are Dr. Robert L . Gulick, Dean of Admissions and Regis­trar,
and Dr. Frank R. JackIe, Chairman, Department of Languages. Nominated
earlier this year, they were selected for the honor on the basis of their civic and
professional achievements.
Outstanding Educators of America is an annual awards program honoring distin­guished

WE NEED YOUR HELP: A $10 Check From Each
Thunderbird Will Put Us Over The Top On The
Dining Hall Renovation Project
We would like to wind up the Dining Hall Fund drive and give assistance to the
five-year development plan at Thunderbird. A $10 check from each T'bird will do
the trick and give us a good start on the new project.
In spite of the many improvements in the appearance of the physical plan at Thun­derbird
- the Key Man quarters, the faculty housing, the two-story dormitories, the
50-unit married complex, the newly-remodeled auditorium, the Library building,
etc. - the Dining Hall facilities remain the same.
We have a good start on the project with the purchase of a dual-purpose transformer
which will serve both the Auditorium and the Dining Hall, and we have collected
approximately $25,000 in donations.
Our plea is directed to those alumni who have been more than a little delinquent in
their giving, and not to those who religiously contribute on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual basis.
We hope we can continue the services of the Alumni Office at no cost to the grad­uates.
No fee is charged for membership in the alumni association, and publications
and requested materials are sent without charge. We must admit that it is sometimes
discouraging to continue these free services year after year to those who are de­linquent
in their alumni contributions or who have never donated to the current or
past projects.
THE THUNDERBIRD is your means of keeping up with developments at your alma
mater, and in touch with your friends. If you enjoy reading it, certainly it is worth
at least an annual contribution.
In the center of this publication you will find a self-addressed mailing envelope
with postage frank for domestic mailing. When you ,complete the alumni question­naire
form on the upper inside flap of the envelope .WON'T YOU PLEASE FILL.ill

LOS ANGELES ALUMNI CHAPTER
ESTABLISH STUDENT LOAN FUND
At the May 27th meeting of the Los
Angeles Alumni Chapter the group vot­ed
in favor of establishing a Student
Loan Fund, to be used by students from
Southern California attending Thunder­bird.
They started off the fund with a $100
check, and as more money becomes
available to the Alumni Association
through memberships and gifts, addi­tions
to the account will be made. When
the amount warrants it, the Loan Fund
principal will be converted to a perma­nent
endowment and the interest used
for scholarships and other worthwhile
programs.
Larry Finney, Thunderbird Professor
and Director of Key Man and Summer
Courses, was the campus representative
to the meeting at Les Freres T AIX
restaurant in Los Angeles. Fifty-three
area alumni attended, representing a

classes.

THUNDERBIRD DECALS
The Thunderbird Chapter of S.A.M. (Society for Advancement of
Management) is promoting an attractive pressure sensitive vinyl
decal. The colorful decals have been specially designed for application
on luggage and briefcases, but can be used as auto window decals
(or any place else you may choose).
What a great way to spend that time in an airport-watching for
T -Bird alumni stickers.
This is the initial step in a special project for the fall semester in
which the T.G.S.I.M. chapter of S.A.M. will become the communica­tions
center for the International Division of the parent S.A.M. (re­cently
affiliated with A.M.A.). T.G.S.I.M. and its alumni scattered
throughout the world are felt to be the key to the organization of
international chapters of S.A.M., and will provide an excellent con­tact
with professional managers and heads of foreign business firms.
These decals will be mailed to you for $1.00 each or 5 for $4.00. Write
S.A.M. - T.G.S.I.M. - Box 548XL - Glendale, Arizona 85301.
Vermont; Thayer Toner ('57), who did
much to help us out on campuses in
Indiana; Ted Weisenburger ('57), whose
visits in North Dakota have kept that
state very much alive in our books;
Philip Calkins (,65), whose visits have
helped spread the gospel in Florida,
Alabama and Georgia; William M. Fer­ry
(,51), who pioneered our active drive
into Tennessee; James J. McCarthy
(,57), who continues to add to his string
of visits in Colorado and Florida; Robert
B. Snyder (,70), who keeps our banner
flying on campuses in Maine and New
Hampshire. And then, there is Timothy
C. Walker (,68), with National Cash
Register in Oohio, who visited a total of
seven campuses during a six-month
period from October 1971 to April 1972!
This is a record for the number of
campus visits by one alumnus in six
months.
This is a partial list of those to whom
we owe so much. We are also indebted
to the employers of our alumni repre­sentatives
for allowing them the time
to do this important work on our be­half.
Starting in 1972, we have been
writing to the superior or associate of
each alumnus representative who has
approved our taking this step, thanking
the employer for his generosity in this
respect. From our point of view, such a
gesture of cooperation on the part of a
firm represents a meaningful contribu­tion
to higher education, and we cer­tainly
want to acknowledge it as such.
We are now scheduling our visits for
the fall of 1972 (October-December).
Again, we will be asking selected alum­ni
in every state to give us a hand in
this campaign. We very much hope that
all of you who have helped us in the
past will still be in a position to assist
us this fall. We also appeal to you to
recommend other alumni in your area
who you feel would be good additions
to our team. As many of you know, it
can be a very stimulating experience,
in spite of occasional instances of poor
campus response. We would like to add
at least another 100' qualified alumni
representatives to our team, in order to
have a few in reserve. As you realize,
our alumni are very mobile; and we are
frequently faced with the need to make
substitutions at the last minute because
of sudden transfers overseas and other
professional obligations. This explains
why we sometimes call on one alumnus
three or four times in the same year to
make multiple visits in his area, in or­der
to cover firm dates for which we
suddenly have no representative be­cause
of changes which none of us could
anticipate at the time all arrangements
were confirmed. If we have more alum­ni
representatives in reserve, then we
can lighten the load of our "work hors­es"
who traditionally rescue us in such
tight situations.
You will be hearing from us as soon as
confirmations start coming in on dates
which we have requested. In the inter­im,
let us hear from you if you have
any suggestions on how we can improve
our campus visiting program or our
team efforts.
The faculty and staff of Thunderbird
join me in expressing our deep grati­tude
to all of you!
