New e-mailsystem oncampus

by Hetfy dehs Sontos

At the beginning of the Fall semester, the current e-mail system for faculty, staff and stu­ dents will be replaced with a new e-mail system called Groupwise. Groupwise is a fully integrated e- mail. calendaring, scheduling, and task management application. You will not only be able to send and receive messages, but will also be able to schedule meetings and assign and track vital tasks via the network.

The scheduled date to change from the old system to the new will be Friday. August 25. The current e-mail addresses are not changing and will remain as ""Yor -rn**i!bird.edu". However, since we are going to a new system, current folders, mailing lists, and mes­ sages will NOT be carried over. Pegasus e-mail will be accessible until September 30 for users to clean out their mail box, print messages, mailing lists (internet addresses) and any other vital in­ formation.

Users will not be able to send or receive e-mail through Pegasus after August 25th.

asThe Gate

"Wherever we travel, whenever we pass from one country to another we must go through a gate. However, 2a* for means more than simply the traversing of bonders; it stands as a symbol and artery of communication through the barriers of superstition, ignorance, dogma, racism and prejudice; traditional enemies which continue to be a detriment to progress and global peace.

Idealistic though it may sound, it has now become die respon­ sibility of our generation, UK future leaders of the international community, to make every effort to widen these gates and succeed where previous generations have failed.

5a« lor must therefore be an open forum for debate, a clearing house of ideas that may further prepare us for the international community and further 'augment ^reputation of this youthful institution." ."^"'-P'"" .".^.^ : -"/';: - V

I had tried to call my 36- year-old friend Tony as soon a> I heard the news, hut he v. asn't taking any calls. An hour later, he was crying into my answering machine while I was in the shower, unable to hear his call as it came in. He had been a wreck all morning, was leav­ ing work early, and was taking a bereavement day on Thursday. Tony is a six-figure salesman during the day, and a confirmed DeadHead all other hours of the week. He had been seeing shows since the late 70's. but missed the recent stops in New York because his wife her­ self a DeadHead had given birth in December to their first son, and he had opted to stay home and tend the baby. Next month, he was plan­ ning to catch at least four of the Grateful Dead's shows at Madison Square Garden on their traditional September stand. Jerry Garcia's death, allegedly of a heart attack, on the morning of August 9th at a drug rehab clinic, put an end to those plans with a quickness.

Everyone I spoke with to­ day had already heard the had new s. and the mood (if the conversations was like onecollecuve wicked hang­ over. Nobody really wanted to talk.

instead opting to bury their heads in work and pretend the whole wretched thing never happened, Even though I must have spoken with 1C or MI people this afternoon. it didn" t really hit me until atier 1 put on a Grateful Dead tour shirt (in tribute»1 bought in May at the Stiver Bow 1 in I .as Vegas that 1 reali?cd tlu' Dead will neverpla\ a^ain' Of course, a good 90 1* of the people in America could care less, hut for those 1 (f'( of us who have ever been to a show.

began to listen more closely to the individual riffs. At the working heart of their tunes were the maMer- ful. flowing jams of the hardest working nine-lingered guitarist in show business, a flamenco-trained axeman from San Francisco by the name of Jem Garcia.

cul- t u r a(and economic) vacuum where pre­ viously there had been a wholly supportive and like-minded family with relatives in every port. The closest parallel I can draw would be tosayasimilar(educadonal) vacuum would form if Thunderbird closed its doors tomorrow. Sure there would continue to be alternatives. but nothing quite the same.

went, and the band played on. but when "Uncle Jerry" went into the hospital, for exhaustion, weight problems, hanusurgery. dia­ betic complications or heroin ad­ diction, the band would cancel in­ definitely, sometimes for a year or two at a time. Garcia was the Grateful Dead. He was the god that 50.000 freaks came to pray to on a summer night. Why? To this huge mass of communal humanity, he was the white haired patriarch a combination of the Pope and Santa

Claus to his "congregation." And e\ en if one didn't have a ticket to the \how. as happened 10 me this June, you could hang out in the parking lot. listening and dancing to cool music coming from crazily painied VW \ans and school buses, buy »ome nutritiote snacks and multi­ colored tye-dyed shins, and interact with some amazingly friendly people, while all the time feeling like you never left your li\ ing room.

The last show 1 saw was on June 22m Albany, New York, which required a 3 hour drive to get there and back. It was the last time I will ever make a road trip to see a band. As they say nothing else comes close. There are many pretenders to the legend, bands which, through strength of material and touring power, may h^cnme the Dead of ?h? Next Century Pearl Jam, the Black Crowes. or most likely Phish. But they will be like so many se­ quels to the original the best, the brightest, and the most iconoclastic band of my lifetime the Grateful Dead, led by guitarist Jerry Garcia w'ho died today.

ENTERTAINMENTby Shaun DakinDas Tor Restaurant Critic

Welcome all new Thonderbirds and welcome back alJ returning students Yes, it is roe, the restaurant critic.

As the Fall semester begins and I start to look for that perfect job I find myself at the keyboard typing away about food and fun in the valley of the sun. I sat down, just before the start of the semester, to reflect on my last three semesters of being a food critic I looked ai my file manager on my Gateway 2000 to count how many fine dinning establishments 1 have reviewed: 23!

A word about my reviews. I try not to review national chains, I attempt to visit a restaurant at least two times before I write my final review, and I try to have several dining companions with me every time to keep me on track and gj vc me feedback on the food. If you have any feedback I welcome it please write to [email protected].

A word about Phoenix and Glendale. There are, surprisingly, a lot of good and very good restau­ rants out there; you just have to know where to look. I come from a background of growing up in Eu­ rope, New York City and most re-

Restaurant Guide - Glendalecently Washington, D.C I was not at all prepared for the variety, qual­ ity and value of restaurants out in the valley of the sun. Throw away all your preconceptions and biases and get ready for some great food.

Here are some places in the immediate area to get you started.

Food in the Immediate ThunderbirdArea:

Island Teriyaki: Asian. Cheap.good!59th Avenue and Bell Road on theNorth West Corner

As anyone who has met me knows. I LOVE Island Teriyakj. In fact. leat here approximately 3 times a week ! This is an addiction. Re­ ally. IT fas locals are apt to refer to this fine dinning establishment) is a wonderful. T-Bird owned, healthy "fast-food" joint. There is essen­ tially one type of food you can order here: a rice bowl with stuff on it. However, this is not just any rice with just any stuff. Clark, the owner and former T-Bird, cooks up some of the freshest white or brown rice this side of Osaka, quickly grills some perfectly marinated chicken, and covers the whole concoction

• Lenity's Burgers: American.Cheap. Greasy, good!Two locations:55th Avenue and Thunderbird (SWcomer)59th Avenue and Giendale (in thedowntown area)

If you want a cheap, filling, good "ol greasy burger and fries then look no further. Lenny's burgers has won the Best Of Phoe­ nix New Times award for best burger, fries, shakes and hot-dogs for more years than I can think of. Go to the 35th Avenue location on an early Saturday night and you wij I be certain to find a line of hungry hamburger lovers. My favorite is the hickory burger covered with BBQ sauce with a side of fries for

only 52.65!! If lean find room I'll order a chocolate peanut butter milk shake out of this world.

• Mike's Golden Crust Italian.Moderate. Homecooking. tradi­ tional T-Bird hangout. ?5th Avenue, between Greenuay and Bell on the West side of 35th"

Mike's is a traditional fa­ vorite among T-Birds Go there on a Friday or Saturday night and you'll be sure to see familiar faces from IPE. IF&Toryourlanguageclasses. Mike's i* a fun. family run. Italian place that serves basic, good tasting. food. They are well known for their bottomless bread and salad for ev­ eryone. The salad is covered with a super dressing and the bread isn't bad. but it is enough to fill you up for a long time. My favorites are the baked pasta dishes and the white lasagna.

Tom 'sBBQ: Chicago Style BBQ. hot and mild nice!, cheap. 59th Avenue and Bell Road on the Northeast comer.

Tom's offers some of the best and cheapest BBQ in the val­ ley. At the 59th Avenue location arid their 6 or 7 other locations Tom's has been serving up some mean smoked meat for over 15 years. Theirpulled pork and chicken BBQ sandwiches are particularly good. However, at Tom's the sauce is the boNsandbossitis. Tom'sservesup

hot and mild sauce which has me licking my fingers by the end of the meal. If you are hankering for some good BBQ you can't go wrong.

Fffiberto's: Mexican, chain - I know, cheap, good Bell Rd past .Arrowhead Mall on the way to Sun City.

OK. So this is a chain and it is not in the immediate area. Filiberto's. however, has earned it­ self quite a reputation as THE 24 hour Mexican food stand for thoe late night munchies. Filiberto's is about a 10 minute drive down Bell Rd towards Sun City depending on traffic and is nestled snugly on a corner where it could be missed. This cheap Mexican food place of­ fers little service, no atmosphere but a lot of food For about S2.30 vcu can pick upaHUGE chicken burrito full of nothing but moist white meat lookoutTaco Bell!
