Global Alumni Reunion of Tunghai University supports the endeavor of cooperation and development of tourism among Asian markets by Governor Kenny Guinn and Lt. Governor Lorriane Hunt of Nevada, U. S. A.
By GSBPA of WBTI*1

People are interested in seeing programs cooperated by Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Mangement, Tunghai University Alumni Association, and WBTI that will enhance the multual cooperation in tourism, investment, trade, and global business among China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Nevada*2

Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada reminds us that tourism is the bedrock of Nevada's economy. To expand and diversify our domestic and international markets are absolutely essential to our long-term economic growth and stability.*3

The annual "Governor's Conference on Tourism" was held by Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada at Caesears Palace on December 15-17, 2003. He joined the members of the Commission on Tourism to examine the latest tourism industry issue and trends. The theme was "Celebrating Deversity". It was chosen to draw attention to Nevada's efforts to broaden both its tourism product and market. The Conference on December 15-17 was held in celebrating the diversity that would make the Silver State a perennial leader in worldwide tourism.

Governor Kenny Guinn and Lt. Govenor Lorraine Hunt said that Nevada's tourism industry must continue to expand its offerings and reach out to diverse markets that range from outdoor enthusiasts to residents of the world's most populous nation. Speaking at the general session of the Governor's Conference on Tourism at Caesars Palace, he and she each praised Nevada's continuing efforts to supplement its gaming-based core with non-gaming amenities such as shopping, dinning, and outdoor recreation.*4

"I can't overstate the significance of China's potential as a visitor market for Nevada," Lt. Governor Hunt said. "I found modern cities rife with elements of Western culture such as Starbucks Coffee, MTV, the Rat Pack-era music of Frank Sinatra, etc. Up to 10 percent of the country's approximately 1.4 billion residents can now afford to travel overseas, which has positioned China as Nevada's "newest and most-modern market" for tourism."

Governor Guinn expresses that he can not overemphasize the significance and importance of bringing attention to all the attractions to Nevada at a time when it faces unprecedented competition for gaming customers. He believes that we are wise to expand our marketing efforts and focus on developing markets in places such as Asia. It is significant for him to point out that in addition to gaming, Nevada has phenomenal cultural, historic, and recreational resources that we must continue to promote. The Governor emphasizes that for our state's economy to thrive, all of the Silver State's tourism opportunities must be effectively marketed to both domestic and international visitors.*5

Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt points out that she sees the will in the Chinese people and elected officials to make more opportunities and conviences for them to travel America. "They know they want to participate in the world economy," said the Lt. Governor.*6

On May 18, 2000 Lt. Governor Lorriane Hunt of Nevada lead (led) a delegation from Nevada to Taipei of the Republic of China. "This is important to Nevada in areas beyond just our tourism industry. Taiwan enjoys a growing economy with considerable technological advancement and as such, they are one of the world's top 15 trading nations. And with Nevada's total exports exceeding one billion dollars in 1999 alone, our local businesses stand to benefit as the Taiwanese market continues to prosper and expand," Lt. Governor of Nevada Hunt pointed out in Taipei.*7

"The Nevada Commission on Tourism believes it is vital to establish a presence in Taiwan in order to represent our tourism destinations to this emerging world travel market. Taiwan's capital, Taipei, has a working population of four million, with a youthful, technologically oriented work force. There is tremendous potential for building tourism among this sector," said Hunt.*8

"Similar to the new direction of the government in Taiwan, we are seeking new horizons for the economy of Nevada. Building mutally beneficial relationships with Taiwan, and other foreign countries, will create the demand for direct, regularly scheduled flights. Our work will help Nevada establish contacts for lucrative business and convention visitors from around the world that will form the foundation for a new pillar in the Nevada economy."*9

Las Vegas, Nevada, and Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) extend their heartily welcome to the business, tourism, and investment from Asian countires to boom the tourism and ecomomy of this silver state.

The following are some of the communications during the launching of one of our recent projects to assist the cooperation and development for tourism of Nevada. We shall have 2005 Global Alumni Reuinion of Tunghai Univeraity to be held here in Nevada:

Hi Tony,

Thank you for the surprise call. It was nice talk to you.

We went to Las Vegas couple times. Teh-hsin and us(my husband's name
is
George.) went to the near-by L.V. scenic area in 1980. We did enjoy
it.
Class '60's reunion will be in the beginning of August 2005 which was
finalized definitely.

Tunghai days are always a happy memory for us Tunghai Alumni. Those
were
the days when we were youthful and full of dreams! Like many Alumni, I
feel
that I did benefit tremendously at Tunghai! I am very grateful for the
four
years of Tunghai campus life.

I will mention your suggestion to Teh-hsin and see what happens.
Teh-hsin
has worked very hard to organize the next year's Class '60 reunion.

Best regards to you and Judy,

Therese

***E-mail from Dorothy (Wang Teh-hsin) on May 13, 2004:

Hi, Ton(Tung)-tien,
We have learned you are organizing a reunion for the classes 59', 60' and 61' of Tunghai. We, class 60', are having our 8th reunion in 2005 (07/30-08/05 2005) at Las Vegas. Three days at LV and four days to the National Parks. We have reunion every 2 years since 1990. Last one we went to Vancouver and Canadian Rockies in 2003, and we usually have about 45 people. This time, we choose LV, because we like to have more classmates to join us, especially, those from Taiwan.
It's very nice of you to suggest such a reunion. We really enjoy ours immensely.

Wang Teh-hsin(class 60 Chemistry)

Moran tapped for Nevada Gaming Commission
By ROD SMITH and PAI*1

Moran tapped for Nevada Gaming Commission
Professor critical of move, calling it an 'industry-insider' appointment
By ROD SMITH
GAMING WIRE

John Moran ---Attorney named to Nevada Gaming Commission (Please check the photo with the paper.)

Gov. Kenny Guinn Friday named John Moran Jr. to the Nevada Gaming Commission, replacing three-term commissioner Augie Gurrola.*2

Moran will join the commission July 26 when he resigns from the state Board of Wildlife Commissioners, where he has served since July 2000 and is in his second term.

Moran was in a wildlife commission hearing Friday and unavailable to discuss his appointment to the $40,000 a year position.

Guinn, however, said Moran has been an excellent member of the wildlife commission and is looking forward to serving on the five-member gaming commission.

"He is a person of great integrity. As one of our state's finest attorneys, he has a level of understanding and sophistication regarding the gaming industry that will serve the citizens of Nevada very well," Guinn said.

However, the appointment and Moran's service are likely to raise conflict of interest issues, University of Nevada, Las Vegas professor and casino industry expert Bill Thompson said.

"The governor could have done better," he said. "Moran is a good person and is certainly knowledgeable, but it's such an industry-insider appointment, it's going to prove to be very, very controversial.

"To my knowledge, no governor has ever appointed an industry person to a board. This guy has represented so many casinos even in licensing matters, he'll be forever recusing himself," Thompson said.

"We don't appoint the head of Caesars (Entertainment) and expect him to recuse himself. This guy has been involved with every company in the industry and we're likely to (in effect) have a four-member commission," he said.

Thompson said Moran won't be another Gurrola, who has been widely respected as a maverick on the commission who represented the general public and the little guy.

Moran, a Las Vegas attorney for more than 25 years, is founding partner in the law firm of Moran & Associates, which bills itself as specializing in development and land use issues and representing clients before administrative boards and commissions.

He is a graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the Loyola School of Law in Los Angeles, and is former member of the Colorado River Commission.

He is an investor with the group that is redeveloping the old Sears Building on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. As an attorney, he has represented the Stratosphere in its controversial moves to add thrill rides and UNLV basketball coach Bill Bayno in his termination dispute, and he defended developer Bill Walters against money laundering charges.

Moran's father, John Moran, was Clark County sheriff from 1982 until 1994, and his son, John Moran III, is a pro tem judge in the Henderson municipal court.

The gaming commission meets monthly and generally takes final action on issues that have been initially considered by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.*3
