A new 1maAe ol San Diego de Ale I , the rehg1ous figure whose name the ci ty of San Diego c arrle . was set in place at the Ale la Park campus of the Uni11erslty of San Diego on Apri l 5. The lifeslze sculpture, the work of Jesus Dominguez of La Mesa, was commissioned by the un111ers1ty for its new Helen K. and James S . Copley Library, slated lor formal dedication in April 8 ceremonies. The sculpture will be un 11ei l d a t that time. Dominguez was se lected as the sculptor for the project by USO professor ol art Therese Whit- comb, director of design and curator ol collections at the Independent university Whit- comb says she en111sioned the new sculpture es having "a face with the fine features of the Iberian original, delicate but strong, with an inner tension but without a trace of 'macho.'

In her words, "I had given up on finding the face I wanted. Then one morning at church, I saw a man wal king down the aisle who was a perfect match for the Image I carried in my mind all those weeks .

Whitcomb explains, "San Diego de Alcala was a member of the Order of Friars Minor-an 'inlirmarian,' which means someone who cares for others. This was specially important in the era of pilgrimages At the time, someone in his position, who distributed food and physical care, was also m charge of spiritual matters . Given Dr. Wilhem's work, this make the discovery of him as the model seem downright miraculous." Dominguez is well-known throughout California for his sculpture and design. Among his other commissions are the sculpture for the entrance to the Frank Lloyd Wright House at Barnsdall Park, Los Angeles; a relief sculpture installed at Fullerton Main Library, Fullerton; work at Cerro Coso Community College, Ridgecrest; and a life- size Christ figure at SDSU's Newman Center.

Copley Library on campus at USD. Her keynote address, given before the more than 600 guests who wit- nessed the ceremonies, was a cele- bration of the written word which took no swipes al electronics.
