P, C. 8 Eu. tRRA / Toreros (5-7) host Q~aga The ni!rs~y of Sa iego men's basket a m opened the season wi expectations. But that changed after the Toreros started 3- 0, including two unexpected wins in "The Pit," the University of New Mexico's notoriously intimidating arena. USD opens its West Coast Athletic Conference eason tonight at 7:30 in the USD Sports Center against Gon- zaga University with a 5-7 record that has reduced those expectations to a manageable size. "I think the thing we've learned is how to sustain ourselves, to fight through things when thrngs aren't going well," Coach Hank Egan said. The Bulldogs (9-4) are led by for- ward Jim McPhee and guard Doug Spradley, both of whom scored their l,OOOth career point in non-confer- ence action two weeks ago. Only 13 players have scored 1,000 points or more in the Gonzaga's 82-year histo- ry. "Overall, we're where we hoped to be," said Coach Dan Fitzgerald. ''We felt the best we could be was 10-3." Gonzaga extended its winning streak to three with an 86-51 win over St. Martin's last Saturday. McPhee was the leading scorer with 24 points, and tied Todd Franklm for most re- bounds with 10. Emerging in preconference play for the Toreros was 6-foot-5 fresh- man forward Gylan Dottin, the team's leading scorer with a 13-point average, and Dondi Bell, a 6-9 sopho- more center and team's top reboun- / der with seven per game.

"We have quite rightcy wel- corned these students to our own shores but have failed to encourage our own students to go abroad."

The council report, "Educating for Global Competence," stated that "if we fail to internationalize sufficient- ly our educational institutions, rn- eluding expansion of student oppor- tunities for study and work abroad, we will irreversibly diminish the world status of the United States." In San Diego, slightly more than 600 of the region's 50,000 undergrado- ate students studied abroad last year, according to campus officials. The largest contingent comes from UCSD, where 316 students were sent More than 200 of United States In- ternational University's 1,400 stu- dents study abroad.

A council report in December found that fewer than 5 percent of U.S. college students, or about 50,000, study abroad each year, while some 350.000 foreign students attend U.S. "If you look at the attitude of col- leges here, international study has never been a very big part of the curriculum. It's just a 'good thing to do,' rather than a part of the main- schools.

Fred Jacoby, com- missioner of the Southwest Confer- ence, called the SEC proposal a "shoehorn" to junior college. "We're really not depriving them," Jacoby said. "We're just steering them in a new direction " However, to secure a thr.ee-year scholarship (which includes a redshirt year) at a major college, the player must graduate from the two- year school. If leaving a community college after one year, the student- athlete would not be eligible for that first year, or for a scholarship. "It indicates clearly that the mem- bership supports Prop. 48" said the NCAA executive director, Dick Schultz. "Prop. 42 strengthens Prop. 48." • • • Just before adjournment, the con- vention approved an annual presea- son football game, a West Coast ver- sion of the Kickoff Classic. The game, to be played at Anaheim Sta- dium nd run by organizers of the postseason Freedom Bowl, will be ti- tled the Di neyland Pigskin Classic and will debut in 1990.
