Awards Honor Decades of Service Some of these folks have been on campus since the Vietnam War. Others joined the Alcala Park staff when disco and bell bottoms were all the rage. And others began working for USO when driving a BMW and having two kids meant you were a yuppie. All of the employees listed below exemplify the meaning of dedication and service to a job. The university's fourth annual Service Award Celebration, held in the Hahn University Center Forum Nov. 22, paid trib- ute to the 46 faculty, staff and administra- tors who have worked on campus for 10 years or more.

Psst ...

When Rana Sampson was buried in the details of an alter- native parking plan for debate week, she came up with the ultimate SAT question. She immediately called the math department. USD's brightest mathematicians and the direc- tor of public safety calculated the number of buses needed to shuttle employees and stu- dents to campus given the round-trip time from the Friars Road golf course and the peak hours drivers would be using the shuttles. The answer required many more buses than originally planned - and those of you who used the ser- vice know the results. The equivalent of 1,600 on the ol' SAT. Perfect! ... All right already. Enough with this health care switcha- roo game. While the universi- ty's number crunchers claim to be offering us better medical and dental coverage, they seem to have lost sight of the human factor. The health care industry is intimidating enough, let alone being forced year after year to choose new doctors, learn new procedures and sort out the enrollment process....

Speaking in favor of the sliding scale, Diane West, executive assistant in the office of the dean of Arts and Sciences, said, "I have a sense that this plan is going to cre- ate two entities - those that can pay and those that can't. (The sliding scale) may be more difficult to administer in the end but there would be a sense in the community that there was an attempt to equalize it." In a crowd of 50 people, several faculty and administrators voiced support for charg- ing according to what a person can afford . "We are institution with some of the finest minds in California. I feel confident we can come up with some fair solution," said Jack Adams, director of special pro- jects. "I do not mind paying a higher pro- portion of the debt based on my higher level of compensation." The Staff Employees Association will head up an ad hoc committee of all employ- ees interested in exploring alternatives with the university's financial officers.
