(In Mexico, France, or Germany) In today’s globally competitive environment, many companies are looking for managers with multicultural business and language skills. Pepperdine’s innovative Master of International Business (MIB) is a unique 20-month program that provides you with prac tical management skills and a thorough understanding of international competition.

The U Cen was ruined forever after the Pub served its last pitcher. Now we’re stuck with a commercialized monolith o f capitalism’s ugliest effects, and the burning irony is that the UCen seems to operate not un like a communist state — and it’s the independent small businesses o f Isla Vista that suffer behind die Iron Curtain. Look at the high-calorie swill they offer us in die UCen. Grease. Fat. Salt. Beer. While these types of student fare arc far from uncommon at college campuses, at least a decade ago, we could get chubby in a place that was our very own, a unique landmark of Gaucho livin’— the Pub. A beautifully simple wooden gathering place reminiscent o f a huge mead hall, complete with a massive tree as a centerpiece, the Pub was extraor dinarily popular among students, staff and faculty alike. However, be cause it wasn’t spectacularly profitable, the Pub was very unpopular with UCen administration. As that was the only major restaurant/drinking center on campus, UCSB was missing out on a major customer base. Students seeking a variety of eateries had to venture into Isla Vista, and too many Gauchos were w i l l i n g to take their appetites (and pocketbooks) there for lunch. I.V. restaurant business was booming — UCSB had to take action. And so, after many attempts, the administration was able to cajole the students into voting for massive UCen “improvements,” which included gutting the beloved Pub and replacing it with fast-food joints and cor porate America. The majestic wooden tables and chairs were ousted in favor of plastic furniture imported from Italy. The Pub’s restaurant was replaced by the multicolored galaxy o f neon and grayish-blue that domi nates our generic Pub replacement, the Hub. You all know what the Hub is like at lunchtime. Amidst air reeking of grease and shame, hundreds o f students jostle about, vying for a dirty / DAILY NEXUS table.

But with UC SB’s student body as a captive market, why is the wonder if they really went to college to be slinging burgers. And then UCen having such hard times?
