Procrastination Has .:z

Supreme Court tackled presiden- tial powers noting it had "studi- ously avoided decidmg the issue" for as long as it could. The justice said in his law school discussions on the subject, Nathanson didn't give simple an- swers to such issues. It was his pro- fe880r's conviction, Stevens said, "that it is oft.en wise to avoid an- swering profound questions of con- stutional law for as long as poi,_si- ble." He added that affirmative ac- tion, as argued in University of California. Regents v Bakke was another area which "may be well served by a policy of procrastina- tion and indecision." Stevens said the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination based on race, color or national or- igin, was all the Supreme Court needed to uphold Alan Bakke's claim the medical school admis- sions policy discriminated against whites. A five-member court maJority, though, tried to square the Civil Rights Act with the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause. "Congress in effect delegated to the judiciary the task of defining the precise contours of the statuto- ry prohibition it was enacting" in the 1964 act, Stevens said. The result, he continued, created con- fusion in subsequent federal pro- grams. "Perhaps, as judges like to sug- gest, that confusion should be at- tributed to Congress for failing to express its meaning in plainer terms. "The rejoinder from the legislature, of course, would imply that closer attention to the policy of judicial restraint might have avoided the confus10n entirely," he added. He noted that judges will differ in their opinions, but they must use judicial restraint "to focus their attention on the issue that must be addressed ir: order to decide the case." Stevens saw a trend toward "wide-angle decisionmaking" in the higher courts. "We must, however, always be conscious of the danger that the glittering generality will turn out to be an overstatement that fails to anticipate the contemporary garb in which a basic theme will appear in future cases," he said. He added that authors of the Constitution expected the open spaces in the text to be filled "by future generations of lawmakers." Some decision, he acknowledged, must be made by the judiciary. "But just as the framers themselves decided to say no more than was necessary to complete the task they had set out to perform, is it not fair to infer that their silence was a command to the judges of the future to exercise comparable self. restraint?" /

Page 8-THE VISTA-October 25, 1984 Interior Designer Whitcorrib Cares For USO Art Treasures by Linda Eerebout Staff Writer As the University's curator, interior designer, and Professor of Art, Therese Whitcomb's extra professional tasks assigned by President Hughes are to care for, research, and catalog contributions of fine art gifts to USO. The University, to date, has not pur- chased any art, but Professor Whitcomb hopes at some time that it will be in a po i- tion to do so. Professor Whitcomb spoke of USD's four strongest collections. One of them is th<' collection of the 17th Century tapistries whose care and placement she oversees. Another is an endowment of renowned American watercolors by Fredrick Witiker which was given to us by his widow Eilleen Witikcr. We also have a collection of 19th Century bronze sculptures that were bequithed to us by Adele Palmer. Professor Whitcomb has used a variety of these items in exib1tions in Founders' Gallery for which she is director, and in placement throughout the University. Another ,mportant holding in the decorative arcs is the fine antique fur- niture, both original and fine reproduc- tion pieces. The collection has not been fully defined, but USO has and accepts many other gifts. Most of these are placed throughout the campus for the students' enjoyment. Professor Whitcomb has served on the Art Management committee for years at the San Diego Museum of Art. She has been on the Board of Trustees for six years, being actively involved in the ad- ministrative committees of that museum since 1970. Her activities included designer and director of the Mission San Luis Museum and its collection of some 2,000 pieces. However, this summer she had the good fortune to turn that role over to a USO graduate who is now Resi- dent Director and Curator, Joel Swiemler. '"She has another role, as Director of University Design, which holds her responsible for the design of the interior of USO buildings as they are newly created and renovated. She helped design Olin

Hall, the Manchester Center, the new Copley Library extension, the Copley Library Reading Room. Harmon Hall and such renovated areas as the Career Counseling Center, the Student Affairs Office, the President's Office, the Security and Personnel Offices, and her favorite, the 2nd floor Camino Women's Lounge. She did mention, however that her responsibilities are for the interior design on ly, and not the structural plans. Spare time for Professor Whitcomb has included one week off in the last year and a half lt is a six day week, often seven, go- ing from at least 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with no time off predicted until the buildings and renovations are complete, which is a policy decision. "You do the best you can with the time." she commented. When asked if there is more tension to perform, she replied, "vastly, but in any way the positions arc not related, they do not overlap." Along this line, she was asked if students see her as "other than" a pro- fessor. Her response was "no," that her work as designer was wholly outside her duties as professor. Her position as designer is not related to her activities because she enjoys her role as professional and historical designer. As such, she receives and impliments grants on the federal, state, county, and city level as well as the private sector in the area of historic designer. Professor Whitcomb stated, "All professors have related interests in their expertise, it is assumed ." Curator is related to academic, but designer is not. Her activity in historical design projects have covered areas as diverse as Rancho Guajome Chapel, for which a county grant is provided, to the Childe Hassam House in South Hampton, New York. (In time periods, as old as the interior of Mission San Diego to the modern Irving Gill Chapel in Coronado.) The administration at USO provides aesthetic environment not offered at most other universities through programs like this. Action is also being taken to correct some errors made in the past such as the dorms painted orange.
