If you have a published list of all the things a buildmg is used for, 1t gives the com- mW11ty a better .sense of identity. You have a whole sense of history based on reality instead of specwation. Ray is going back to old newspapers, old magazines and really sifting out history. That's invaluable. That's a really neat thing to do.• Brandes has found some interesting slices of Gaslamp Quarter history that are believed to be relatively little known but significant bits of local history. For instance. Chicago architect Henry Lord Gay, founder of the Amencan Institute of Architeets, built many of the buildings in the Gaslamp Quarter, ineluding the Western Metal Building on 7th Ave., and the first Mercy Hospital. Through a check of voter registra• tion records. Brandes' research teams have dlscovered that in the 1880s and 1890s the Gaslamp's residents were largely middle and lower-income immigrants from central Europe. from Germany or Austria. They were fol- lowed later by settlers from the American Midwest

f.:n. l/ f.,ra.,._ Rusty wmtmarsn 1s playing less, but enjoying it more. Things are not going perfectly, but the 11-foot-3 freshman guard can•t complain. Whitmarsh, a three-year varsity basketball starter under Pete Colonelli at Monte Vista High School, has taken his talents west to the University of San Diego campus. Whitmarsh is now playing varsity ball for Jim Brovelli's Toreros. But Whit· marsh's position on the roster has changed. He is not starting, but coming off the bench. He says, however. that coming off the bench isn't much different than starting. "Sure starting is fun," Whitmarsh ays. "But when you come off the nch you haye to be ready to play, just like you're starting a game. And when you get in the game you have to be consistent." Consistency is what this two-time first team all-Grossmont Leaguer posse ses. Whitmarsh has averaged eight points and 22 minutes a game in USD's first eight contests. He has also moved up the USD ladder from the No. 4 guard to the No. 3 bacltcourt position. He accomplished this through hard work in practice. "Every practice 1s a game, es· pecially when all the players are try- ing to move up and get more playing time," Whitmarsh remarked. "In high school you could cruise th·rough practices. Here you don't have that chance." Whitmarsh scored H points and dealt out eight assists in USD's win over Laverne. He then popped in 11 points and dished out six more assists in the Toreros' 70-58 win over Hayward last Tuesday. "I'm really happy at USD," says

Whitmarsh. "It's a really nice place, and I'm glad I chose to play here." But why did Whitmarsh choose USD? "There wasn't one major thing that made me come to USD, ' Whitmarsh explains. "It was just a combination of a lot of little things." And with his studies being so promi- nent, he has bad very little time to work on his basketball skills outside of practice. "School takes up a lot of my time," Whitmarsh says. "I get in about six to eight hours of basketball practice a week outside of our own practices and the games. But the toughest thing about playinff basketball here are the road games.' So far the Toreros have gone to San Francisco and the University of California-Davis. "It's really wlerd playing on the road," Whitmarsh explains. "We have gotten to our two road games the mor- ning of the games, practiced lightly In the afternoon, and rested the rest o the day for the game that night. It's a lot different than playing on the road in high school."
