The Thunderbird, Summer 1973

              As many of you have noticed, the School has received a considerable amount of world­wide
publicity in the last year. There have been feature articles on the School put out by
the Los Angeles Times news service, the United Press International, Industry Week, The
Journal of Commerce, Administrative Management, the Copley news service, and more to
come. This publicity has been very helpful to us in recruiting new students and faculty and
has created growing interest in the School by prospective employers and financial donors.
Such off-campus projects as our summer program for 40 Thunderbirds at the Autono­mous
University of Guadalajara in Mexico and the exchange program of students and faculty
with the Sung Kyun Kwan University in Korea contribute greatly to our worldwide image
and reputation.
We are projecting a faU 1973 enrollment of 900 students, far and away the largest in
the history of the School. Remember that aU of these will be graduate students working toward
an M.I.M. degree with a foreign language requirement for graduation. This graphically illus­trates
how your alma mater has matured over the years, and is rapidly becoming one of the
quality graduate schools in the nation.
With this growth our needs for capital improvement of the campus become more urgent.
We must start the refurbishment of the dining hall as soon as possible. Although our original
figure for this project was $65,000, increased costs of materials, construction and lahor have
raised this figure to $83,000. We are approximately $48,000 short of our alumni giving
goal. Won't you please put a check in the mail today to help us?

STATE DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR
DELIVERS COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS
Mr. Howard E. Sollenberger, State Department Director of the Foreign Service
Institute, was the featured speaker at the May '73 commencement exercises.
Speaking on "The Voice of America in the New Diplomacy" Mr. Sollenberger said:
"It is too late for the United States to become an isolationist nation and turn from
its dealings abroad. Although the U.S. has overextended itself in some areas and
now is drawing back from them it does not mean the country is becoming isolated.
We can't really turn back and isolate ourselves any more. We have become too
interdependent.
"While some people talk of a return to isolationism, the evidence is not that. We are
moving out more as individuals.
"Increased foreign travel by American businessmen, students and scientists, has
changed the face of diplomacy too. The government and military now are only a
part of the American influence abroad.
"It used to be that diplomacy was the preserve of the career diplomatic service.
Lt was a government to government. The new diplomacy is very much broader and
has become more direct, from interest groups in one country to another. The future
of foreign relations is more cluttered with problems than with solutions. The United
States should encourage peace, narrow the wid'ening economic and social gap between
developed and underdeveloped nations."
The son of missionaries to China, Sollenberger also was director of the State Depart­ment's
Chinese Langua:ge and Area School in Peking and' served with the United
Nation's relief and rehabilitation program in China.

this aim.
As time goes on, many alumni bocome aware of the benefits they have derived as graduates of Thunderbird and, in
turn, show their gratitude and their faith in the School by generously contributing to the Alumni Fund. Unfortunately, there

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
ALUMNI MEET
A cocktail and dinner meeting'was held
by the SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA A­LUMNI
CHAPTER on Saturday, June
2, at the Roger Young Center in Los
Angeles. Total attendance was approxi­mately
60, including those who attended
the cocktail party but were unable to
stay for the dinner meeting.
After a very successful year, President
Pat Hughes, stepped down and handed
the gavel to Larry Lipsher the new
President. Acting as Vice President for
the coming year will be Wesley Kruse,
with James Hyek taking over the re­sponsibilities
of Secretary-Treasurer.
We commend Pat Hughes and his slate
of officers for the outstanding work
they have done this past year-in estab­lishing
the Southern California Student
Loan Fund, initiating the first of a
series of Telefund Drives, establishing
the Southern California Alumnus of the
Year Award, and strengthening the ties
between Thunderbird and the Southern
California Alumni Group.
CAMPUS PARTY FOR
ARIZONA ALUMNI
Forty-three alumni and guests turn ed
out for the annual meeting of the ARI­ZONA
ALUMNI CHAPTER held on
campus on Friday, June 1st. We had
hoped for a much larger group but
apparently we picked the wrong date
since it was the weekend following
Memorial Day and many of the local
alums chose that time for their summer
vacation,
Socially, it was a very successful meet­ing
and much time was devoted to
reminiscing about the good old days
at Thunderbird. Financially, it was a
disaster, since 54 made reservations and
only 43 showed-therefore, the Chapter
treasury shows a deficit of $49.54.
After a quick election the following
officers were chosen for 19173-74: Roland
Willits, President; Boye De Mente, First
Vice President; John Pope, Second Vice
President, and Martha Snyder, Secre­tary
-Treasurer.
NEW YORK ALUMS HOLD
REORGANIZATION MEETING
Although we have had no direct report
from the Coordinators of the Ma,y 20th
reorganizational meeting of the NE'V
YORK ALUMNI CHAPTER we heard
through the grapevine that some 50
Thunderbirds attended. The Sunday
afternoon cocktail party was held at
La Veranda on East 54th Street.
Rob Pegler, Phil Gibson, Bob Mosier
and Gary Price are the guiding Eghts
of the "rejuvenated" Chapter, and we
understand that they are being advised
by our old standbys Florence Mervis and
Toby Madison, who played a great part
in keeping the Chapte'r alive for some
twenty years.
Newcomers in the area should contact
Philip J . Gibson, 520 E. 72nd Street,

HOLMES NAMED PRESIDENT
OF DALLAS CIVIC OPERA
The new President and Vice President of
the Dallas Civic Opera will guide its destinies
during the coming year--(feft to right)
Jerry Holmes and wife, Nancy, and Lawrence
Kelly, vice president and general manager.
JERRY LEE HOLMES '60 was elected
President of the Dallas Civic Opera
at a recent board meeting of the resident
company held at the Dallas Country
Club.
A former vice president and manager
of the International Banking Services
ot the Republic National Bank in Dallas,
Jerry retired in mid-1972 in order to
manage his own cattle and real estate
investments.

University of Texas (Austin) and Texas
A & M University (College Station),

of the Texas A&M Polo Club.

which he is a member of the Diamond
Century Club. He is a member of the
Chancellor's Council at the University
of Texas (Austin) and director of the
Dallas Charity Horse Show Association
and a member of the Hickory Creek Fox
Hunt Club.
His election to the Presidency of the
Dallas Civic Opera was in consideration
of his great love for the opera, and its
need of someone with the time to dlevote
to managerial responsibilities and his
financial assistance to the opera' in 1972
at a very critical time.
A former director of DCO, Jerry and
his wife Nancy volunteered in 1972 to
underwrite the cost of the third "sold
out" "Pagliacci" performance for area
school children. The two original per­formances
of the Opera had been fully
underwritten through a grant from the
National Endowment for the Arts plus
ticket sales and contributions from
Dallas Civic Opera Guild. and Junior
League of Dallas.
When the third performance came
around the Civic Opera staff faced the
task of finding the needed cash under­writing
for the performance from local
corporations, foundations and individl..
uals. That's when Jerry and his wife
stepped in with their offer to under­write
the cost of the third performance
in order that an additional 3,400 children
could participate in the program.

for a more glamorous career,

Desert, we offer all of that and loads
more." OccasionaJly, when passing

ARNIE VERNON at Crocker Citizens
National Bank. He spent an enjoyable
evening with BOB KIDNEY in Beirut,

in that part of the world, and visited

THE 8-DA Y WEEK hg JOHN WARD PEARSON '60
Many of the daily headaches of urban living would be alleviated by breaking the
Monday through Friday work habit. In his new book, "The B,-Day Week" JOHN
WARD PEARSON presents a blueprint for change - 4 days for work, 4 days for
leisure. The book has been published by Harper & Row.
The author does not propose a 3 day weekend, an alternative that has serious
drawbacks. Instead, he suggests that the work week be revised so that businesses
are open 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. The work force. would be divided SIO that
one-half the people would be working, while the other half would have 4 days off.
Further, workers on and off periods would be staggered evenly throughout the B-day
cycle so that on each day one-eighth of the people would begin a rest cycle.
This alternative has wide implications for life style and the economy. The author
discusses the implications of this new system on such diverse areas as education,
psychology, individuality, health, sports, marriage, child-rearing, economics and
the way businesses are now operated.
The system would make it economically feasible for businesses to have employees
work 35-hour weeks, thus offering the first substantial reduction in average weekly
work time in 30 years.
To sum it all up, the system would reduce or eliminate traffic jams and public
transportation crowding, job alienation would be reduced, increased leisure time
would help reduce daily tension, it would enable people to pursue education, to
become more involved in community a(:tivities, and spend more time with their
families.
John spent one semester at Thunderbird in the Fall of 1959, and at present is
President and founder of a successful marketing and advertising company in New
York City.

WITH APOLOGIES TO
THE RENAUL TS '71
In January, one of the Philippine Thun­derbirds
(wish we could remember
who) visited the alumni office and re­ported
that the LANCE RENAULTS
were the proud parents of a baby boy.
Apparently they were referring to young
Marc who arrived in December '71.
Knowing that the second Renault heir
was on its way we included the news
in the Spring '73 alumni pUblication.
In May, SUE writes from the Philip­pines:
"Naturally, being editor of the
alumni bulletin, you have to have a
nose for news·. But I'm wondering if
you're using extraordinary measures to
get your scoops---are you psychic? clair­voyant?-
or on a direct line to the Big
Upstairs? we received the Spring issue
of the publication a cOlUple of weeks
ago and I read in the Cradle Roll section
that Lance and Sue Renault had a boy.
Three days later, I went to the hospital
and, 10 and behold, our second son
arrived! How did you know? With
powers like that, you could make quite
a name for yourself!"
We offer our apologies to the Renaults
and correct the news item: ALEXAN­DER
JEAN RENAULT actually arrived
on May 10, weighing in at 7 pounds.
