On San Diego's economy: "I am very optimistic. I think that San Die,ro, with timulation from the Economic Development Corporation and t lw Chamb •r of Commerce, has been 8uccessful over the last 10-15 years in diversifying this economy. It is no longer JUSI a Navy town or aerospace market; ii is a combination of many dif- ferent industries. We feel the recession just as anywhere ebe, but perhaps not as severPly because of this diversification" On San Diego issues: "There are certain issues which con- cPrn me that have taken a Jorge part of my timP ovPr the last several years.

On his beginnings in education: "During the break between my junior and ;;enior year ,n high school, my dad sent me to C'hirngo for ,·ocational in- terest testing, a sort of human mventory asses ment concerned primarily with aptitude and skill attributes. One of the things which came out of that was a rather natural interest in teaching." On switching from educating to managing: ''I came West to Fla!(slaff, Arizona and the Dean and President for whom I worked believed I had ome ahilitie a a manager m higher education, so thev ave me the opportunit, I 'ltarted nt , orthem Arizona l nivers1t · as a department chairman in accountmg, mO\ed up to the lJean of the School of Bu,ine Admini. tration and then to Vice Pre ident of the UniHrsity And then, here, a pre id nt ot l SO.

On management v . le ching: "Iv.as more challeng1 d b , more sati lied by, the management pro ess than I was by the scholar! process. They are ~eparatp tracks and quitP dif fere 1t careers.
