The Thunderbird, Fall 1974

              THE THUNDERBIRD
FALL 1974
,,- -
All of you Thunderbirds will be glad to know that the School has completed what has probably
been its most successful year in history. By successful, I mean number of students, quality of students,
quality of faculty and net income. In 1973 fall enrollment was 853. Spring semester enrollment was 772,
giving an average for the year of 813 which exceeded our budgeted 750 and also exceeded' our ~b­Iished
maximum number of students. There were 572 students on campus during the summer, and fall
semester, 1974, started out with 821 students under instruction.
Financialy we ended the fiscal year July 1 substantially in the black, which allowed us to retire a
considerable portion of our long-term debt and to invest funds in a small computer center, additional
library books, and several other capital improvements including air conditioning some of the classrooms
and installing a new fire alarm system.
From the point of grade point averages, this is one of the best qualified groups of students the School
has had. The average grade point average of those accepted for 1973-74 is approximatey 2.8, with 3.0 a
Band 4.0 an A. As you know, the critical score for admission to the School is 2.5.
We have arrived at what we consider to be an optimum of number and quality of the faculty. We
are retaining the School's pragmatic approach but have added some faculty members in the last year which
tend to balance out the theory and the practice as it is taught here on campus. We will continue to
emphasize the pragmatic approach since this was the basis for the continuing success of the School over
28 years.
The most serious queston facing the School at 'he moment is whether to accept an offer made by the
Carefree Development Company to provide sufficient acreage to build a new school in Carefree, Arizona,
an area about 20 miles north of Scottsdale. The offer is very attractive as it includes 50 acres of land for
building the institutional part of the campus and 200 additional acres of ranch land which the School could
use as it wished for sales development or for school purposes. The Carefree Development Company has
also offered to build all dormitory apartments and faculty housing. These would be retained by Carefree and
rented or sold to faculty and to the School if appropriate. The Board of Directors of AGSIM is considering
the offer very carefully. Obviously there are pros and cons involved. There is no question that the physical
plant at the present site is deteriorating and considerable money must be raised to refurbish the buildings
here. Some Board members feel it would be easier to raise the 15 million dollars necessary to build a
brand new campus in Carefree than to raise the 5 million dollars it will take to put this present campus
into workable shape. All of us here would appreciate comments by Thunderbirds concerning this possible
move. What ever happens, it is very unlikely that the actual pbysical moving of the School would occur
before three to five years.
Another important development during the past year has been the creation of the Thunderbird Fou.
dation. The Foundation will be the principle fund raising arm of the institution. Mr. James E. Patrick, Sr.,
who has been Chairman of the Board of Directors for the past two years, has moved over to become Chair­man
of the Foundation. It will be his responsibility to build the Foundation from the ground up. Mr. G.
Clarke Bean, who is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Arizona Bank, has accepted the chairman­ship
of the Board of Directors of the American Graduate School.
I'm happy to report that gifts from alumni exceeded $25,000 last year. Also the response to the Martha
Snyder Alumni Scholarship was heartwarming.
It is never too late to help us out, so I hope you are planning in this year's budget to contribute to the
growth and development of the American Graduate School of International Management.

THUNDERBIRD or
BLUEBIRD?
BOB BEAN '48 sent us the following
excerpt from a July issue of the
Guatemala City American Chamber of
Commerce News Bulletin: "The name
of the famous school mentioned in
AmCham's News Bulletin #92 of July
5th, is the 'Thunderbird Graduate
School of International Management'
and not the 'Bluebird Graduate School'
as we were rapidly apprised as soon
as the bulletin hit the P .O. boxes here.
Every time we read one of the bulletins
after its assembly, we wince at some
of the blunders - almost all by the
compiler. All who work against a dead­line
make mistakes in verbs, spelling,
expressions and have the dozens of
faults to which those who scribble are
prone. For us it was easy to rationalize
how we wrote Bluebird instead of
Thunderbird. We have been to so many
classes of Clarence Greene on the ex­cellence
of Bluebird Buses, the word
'Bluebird' is almost automatic and
covers many birds of beauty and util­ity
. . . . What surprised us was the
large number of alumni in Guatemala
the Thunderbird School in Arizona has.
We made no list of the telephone calls
of reproach we got, but we remember
among some of them were GEORGE
LINDAHL '54, JEROME JOHNSON '67,
JOHN ADAMS '74, WESLEY OLAND­ER
'49, and RON JENSEN '55. All were
proud of their school and quick to set
the record straight."
LAMBDA CHAPTER, DELTA PHI
EPSILON PLANS BUSY YEAR
The Lambda Chapter of Delta Phi Epsi­lon
initiated 73 new members on Octo­ber
3rd. The ceremony was held in the
Thunderbird Room. International offi­cers
attending were FRANK McMINN,
President o.f the Board of Governors;
AL MARKS, Alumni Secretary, and
BERGER ERICKSON, Executive Vice
President.
The local chapter has a busy schedule
planned - including placement semi­nars,
panel discussions, and. the spon­soring
of campus appearances of prom­inent
businessmen.
Al Marks, international alumni secre­tary,
hosted a get-acquainted party for
the Arizona members and new initiates
on Saturday evening, September 28th,
at his> home in Phoenix.
The campus chapter had the misfortune
of losing their President two weeks
after his election to the office. DAN

of Thunderbird and a long-time DPE
member, returned to AGSIM in Sep­tember
to complete requirements for

SUGGESTED READING: "Prey of the Eagle"
by PHYLLIS LEONARD
"Prey of the Eagle" by Phyllis Leonard is a must on your reading list. This
is Phyllis' firs,t novel although she has written for numerous publica tions for several
years, many of the articles on the Aztec that provide the fascinating background
for the book.
"Prey of the Eagle" tells the story of a New England spinster who, in 1881,
inherited a vast sixteenth-century mansion called EI Nido del Aguila (The Nest of
the Eagle). Having arrived there, although she had not visited the mansion before,
she had the curious sensation of having come home. Not until later did she grasp
the full import of the bloody tragedy that had stained the rosy stones of EI Nido back
in the time of Cortez. Nothing in her New England background had prepared her
for the sensual and corrupt culture that soon enveloped her at El Nido.
We will tell you no more - YOU MUST READ IT. You will find the novel
a breath-taking experience from beginning to end.
Published by David McK,ay Company, Inc., the book sells for $6.95 and. is in
book stores and departments throughout the country.
Walt and Phyllis Leonard, 1949 Thunderbirds, operated a successful insurance
agency in Phoenix until three years ago. In 1971 they took up free-lance writing
and photography as a hobby and achieved almost instant success. They sold the
insurance bus-iness and now devote full time to research, writing and photography
and to date have sold 160 articles to 90 magazines and publications.
AGSIM MOVING ?
•
? • ?
•
?
• ? •
Over the years there have been a number of rumors floating around that
Thunderbird was moving - first to Ellis Island and later to New York City. Both
were just rumors, but there is a possible move being considered.
The Carefree Development Company has offered to donate "free and clear"
sufficient land to cOn-!;truct a new campus, and provide faculty and student housing.
The Company, which owns the Carefree Inn and the Boulders Condominium Devel­opment,
has purchased 10,000 acres of desert land, and present plans call for a 200
acre university park site which they would like Thunderbird to occupy, because of its
worldwide reputation. This area would possibly be shared with an institute of
engineering research. AGSIM would occupy prime frontage near the Carefree
Airport.
Another $10 million would be required to complete academic, administrative
and other buildings. It is the feeling of the Board of Directors that individuals,
foundations andJ comparnes would be more receptive to contributing to the building
of a new campus than donating to the remodeling of the present facilities.
As we said, this is the latest rumor - however; this one is more concrete
than the previous ones.
Chapter President; however, six weeks
after his arrival on campus he received
an offer from First National City
Bank-Houston, accepted the position
and reported, for work on October 15th.
The international headquarters of DPE
have been moved to Thunderbird and
will occupy A32 in the campus dorms.
FRIENDS OF THUNDERBIRD
HAVE ACTIVE YEAR
Friends of Thunderbird is the organiza­tion
of townspeople interested in· the
welfare of AGSIM and its students.
During their first year, Friends has
established the stranded-student pick-up
service, transporting students from
the airport to campus; held a welcome
party for new stUdents each semester
so that they may meet each other as
well as townspeople; launched a home
hospitality program for foreign students
and visitors; staffed a food booth at the
International Festival; and set up a
scholarship/loan fund with money re­ceived
from Life Memberships. Among
current officers are aiumni wives Mrs.
Jordan Paine ('47) , President, and Mrs.
Tom McSpadden ('65), Secretary/
Treasurer.
The Thunderbird congratulates this
organization for a job well done and
extends best wishes for successful years
ahead.

ADIOS TO CHRIS LARSEN AND
MARTHA SNYDER
CHRIS LARSEN, fonner Director of Special Projects, and
MARTHA SNYDER, fonner Executive Sceretary of the
Alumni Association, were given a gala farewell on June 27th
when Thunderbird hosted a retirement party in the Key Man
Lounge, which was artistically decorated in Hawaiian Motif
- palm leaves, pineapples, leis, etc., with soft Island music
in the background. We have Sonia Thunnond, Public Affairs
Coordinator, and Lou Palmer, Executive Assistant to the
President, to thank for the decorations.
Unlike moot retirement parties which are usually dull and
sad, this one was a really joyful and fantastic affair and a
beautiful way for Thunderbird to say goodbye to two of its
senior citizens. As a parting gift from the faculty and staff,
Chris was presented with the traditional Thunderbird cuff­links
and a check to start him on his way to renewing an
old hobby - raising rare species of orchids - and for Martha
there was a trip to Hawaii (which she will take advantage
of after the first of the year).

PETE RUTHERFORD KILLED
IN HANG-GLIDER ACCIDENT
ROBERT N. RUTH­ERFORD
II (affec­tionately
known to
his family and
friends as "Pete"),
was fatally injured
on June 30th in a
hang-glider acci­dent
on Barr Moun­tain
in the State
of Washington. He
was a Seattle at­torney
and presi­dent
of the Pacific Northwest Hang­Glider
Association.
Pete was a strong advocate of self regu­lation
for hang gliding. He abhorred the
exercise of outside controls on the new
and dangerous sport. He worked with
such agencies as the Federal Aviation
Administration in an attempt to set up
a strong self regulating program with­in
the sport before curbs were imposed
by outside agencies. No governmental
agency now regulates the sport. He was
considered an experienced and able
pilot, and met his death when his glider
fell 200 feet.
A May 1971 Thunderbird graduate,
Pete was a very popular student on
campus. He served as Vice President
of SAC for one semester and later as
President. He was also Chairman of
the Student Advisory Committee and
a Social Chairman.
He is survived by his parents, Dr. and
Mrs. Robert N. Rutherford of 5001 NE
LaureIcrest Lane, Sea,ttle, Washington
98105.

At the time of his death he was Man­ager
of Airline Financial Planning.
Services were held at Christ The King
Lutheran Church in Reseda. He is sur­vived
by his wife, Sonya, of 5705
Graves Avenue, Encino, California
91316, and two children.

FUND RAISING
$20,000 NEEDED TO COMPLETE ALUMNI PROJECT
As mentioned in the Summer issue of THE THUNDERBIRD, we are still short of our goal for the Dining Hall Project.
Another $20,000 should put us over the top.
