Later, in 1946, Mother Hill and a group of nuns came to San Diego and took up residence in Old Town where they could su- pervise the planning, design and construction of the University's College for Women. Together the nuns and the Bishop searched for an appropriate site.

The San Diego Diocese spon– sored the St. Vincent de Paul/ Joan Kroc Center, a center opened to serve the poor and homeless. Bishop Maher has done his best to help alleviate many problems of the poor, homeless, and elderly. Since 1970 Bishop Maher has opened four high-rise apartment communities for senior citizens.

the ground; it can seat 1,600 peo– ple. When it was completed in 1969, The Immaculata, built by the L.J. Ninteman Construction Company, became a visual anchor for the Alcala Park campus. Its blue dome is visible from many points around San Diego. One special mass that took place in the beginning of the year was the Mass of the Holy Spirit, which welcomed new and return– ing students to U.S.D. Rhiza Er– rasquin, a freshman at U.S.D., was very impressed with the mass, "It made me feel a part of a community, and the first week of school you need that." This seemed to be the feeling of most who went to the mass.
With his College for Men, School of Law, and seminary com– pleted, Bishop Buddy turned his attention to building a chapel. Its blue mosaic-tile dome is sur– mounted by a statue of Our Lady of Grace, which was created by artist Chris Mueller. The cast– stone statue towers almost eleven feet above the dome and weighs an estimated four and one-half tons. Built on land located directly across Marian Way from the Chancery, between the seminary building and the College of Wom– en, The Immaculata became the largest Catholic church building in the San Diego Diocese. Oblong in plan and cruciform in shape, the structure rises 140 feet above

know that they can always find something to do in the UC. The UC is also a great place to do absolutely nothing, as those who have lounged on the couches in the entryway have discovered. In addition to these everyday ac– tivities, the UC is the host to many on-campus events such as concerts, comedy nights, films, and seminars. And finally, most student organiza– tions as well as several administra– tive offices call the UC home. "Home" is the perfect word to de– scribe the UC. It is USD students "home away from home," for com– muter students as well as those liv– ing on campus. The constant echo of conversation in the halls is proof of this living-room atmosphere that fills the UC. And it is this vibrance and liveliness that makes the UC the "pulsing heart" of USD.
"Jean and I are honored to have our name on this University Center. It is the pulsing heart of the Univer– sity." These words of USD trustee Er– nest Hahn marked this year's dedi– cation of the UC. Mr. and Mrs. Hahn generated $7 million of the $11 mil– lion that went into the building of the UC. Since the completion of its con– struction 3 years ago, the UC has truly emerged as the center to uni– versity life at USD. It was developed to function as the "living room of the campus," the UC serves a myriad of purposes. Pri– marily, the UC acts as a point of congregation for USD students. Whether it is to enjoy subs and cokes at the deli, play a game of pool in the game room, or engage in group study in the study lounge, students

Camino and Founders Halls were built in 1951. The first floor of each building contains class– rooms, security, and offices. Over 270 freshman girls reside in the top floor. There are doubles, tri– ples and quads. Camino/ Founders offer residents the chance to make life-long friends and offers a support network for their first year away from home. "I was impressed with the an– tique furniture and window seat", Mirium Diaz Deleon. "We run around from class to class, never a moment to spare. We have no cars so our friges are empty. So why do we gain the freshman twenty?", Amy McCJory. "I like DeSales better," Rachel Vassllis.

The Mission Housing is located in the Valley and contains a variety of housing complexes. The oldest of these housing complexes are the San Antonio de Padua and Santa Anita Mission Apartments, (also referred to as the Bahias and the Knolls), which were built in 1965. They provide fully furnished apartments with kitchens and views of Tecolote Canyon and Mission Bay to the west or the mountains to the east for most apartments. In 1979, the San Dimas Phase A Complex was built and consists of single or double rooms around a central living area. In 1981, the San Dimas Phase B Complex was built consisting of four large, three-story buildings with sin– gle and double rooms, and two lounge areas with couches and a T.V. on each floor.

The Alcala Vista Apartments are the newest edition to on campus hous– ing at U.S.D. Built in 1987, the 154-unit apartment com·plex is located next to the Sports Center. The Vistas offer male and female students the opportu– nity to feel more independent by sup– plying them with their own apartment, which includes either one or two bed– rooms, a living room, a bathroom and their own kitchen. The Vistas also of– fer students a chance to get away by having two quiet study lounges in Pa– lomar. Students without T.V.s find their needs fulfilled by a large screen T.V. in the Palomar student T.V. lounge. Mailboxes, laundry facilities and staff offices are also located on the first floor of Palomar. Some stu– dents who enjoy life in the Vistas have this to say about them: "I like being able to entertain people in my own apartment," Andy Bedinger.

I t was an outstanding year for social activities around campus. This can be attributed to the fan– tastic social committee orga– nized by Jerry Morris. Jerry and his committee of seventy were in charge of putting to– gether several successful events. One of the biggest events they organized this year was homecoming. Being the fortieth anniversary, the club had a large responsibil– ity. The committee pulled to– gether and put on one of the best homecomings ever. Spring
Ball was another large event in which the social commit– tee was in charge. The com– mittee split into subcommit– tees in order to cover all as– pects of putting the dance together. Once again, the committee was successful. Other smaller events includ– ed a trip to Disneyland and a Cruise to Catalina. Students enjoyed all of the events and many times tickets were sold out.

A s Sophomore senators, Missy and Nate organized events that attracted en– thusiastic students. One of the big– gest hits of the year was the Lip Sync. This event brought out the hidden talents of the students around campus. It included many different kinds of acts in order to please students with various tastes in music. Another exciting event was the Christmas Bash. This event was held in the UC Forum. Missy and Nate even got Santa Claus to show up and take pictures with the anxious students. "Chainsaw" and Colleen showed
their strength as Freshmen Sena– tors. They were active in helping to plan some of the events held this year. They took significant roles in helping the sophomore senators to organize the Christmas Bash. The volleyball tournament that they helped to or– ganize turned out to be successful and many students participated. The bike race was yet but another outstanding event in which they were vital planners. Their contribu– tion to all events was well appreci– ated because they offered fresh ap– proaches in representing the stu– dents.

T he director of the Inter-Club Council decided this year that she was going to dis– cover the most useful pur– pose for the council and then make sure it was im– plemented. Most impor– tantly, she wanted to see that the I.C.C. money reached as many clubs and students and possible. Up until now the council was a boring and useless meeting no one wanted to attend. Barbara Roder, the Di– rector of the Inter-Club Council liked being "in the know" the most while she was director. She enjoyed going to Program Board and Senate so she could find out what the A.S. offi– cers were sincerely trying to do for the rest of the students. The one thing she said she could have done without were the 7 a.m. Executive Board meetings! The I.C.C. Homecoming carnival is what Barbara will remember the most about this year. It was the first program she had ever done and it was success– ful; best of all, she got to enjoy it! Barbara would like to end the year with this thought: "A toast to the overworked, under– paid A.S. officers and di– rectors. We've come a long way!"

Program Board shows us their teamwork!
T he program board consists of all the directors in the Associated Stu– dents who organize events. Panhel– linic, Inter-Fraternity Council, and the Resi– dent Programming Machine also have a re– presentative on the board. The purpose of the board is to get ideas about program– ming, avoid programming conflicts and to encourage co-sponsorship by different orga– nizations. The Vice President of the Associated Stu– dents, Brian Wink is the chair of the Pro– gram Board. Teamwork is the key to Pro– gram Board and as you can tell by the picture, they have it down to a science.
Heather Smith, a junior was chosen as Speakers Bureau Director for A.S. this year. Heather likes the interaction with such a diverse group that she has had. She comments that this had been "a tremendous learning experience." The debate on the Legalization of Drugs in America was a con· troversial and heated argument and was her greatest event of the year. Athletics director, Charlie Gallas, was devoted to getting students involved in supporting the A.S. events for this year. Athletics coordinates the T.G.'s and half-time show for homecoming game during the school year. Charlie liked how friendly everyone in A.S. was to work with. What made this year worthwhile for him was all the friends that he made with A.S. He especially liked how s~ooth all the major events went with the cooper- ataon and teamwork of everyone.

Greg Weaver, Director ofStudent Corporate Relatio
A relatively new posi– tion in the Associated Students, Corporate Relations brought a lot of sup– port for programs this year. Greg Weaver worked hard so that the A.S. could establish good relationships with busi– nesses. He wanted to get spon– sorships that would become permanent with A.S. program– ming as well as more mone– tary sponsorships. Greg feels
that programs are getting big– ger each year and so his job is getting harder. "The bigger the event, the more money needed" as Greg has learned during this year. What made his job worth– while? Well, Greg says that the retreats were what really made him enjoy his job the most! That and hearing, "I want money, money, money, money ... !"

Q l . u tc e ations T he elections committee was headed by a junior, Jane Jen– nings. She had a committee of ten, half of which were freshmen. Jane's goal was to get more of the students at U.S.D. to vote and to run for A.S. positions. liked working with the other A.S. members and seeing the attendance increase at A.S. events. What she will remember the most about this past year are the A.S. softball game and the people she met through student government. Jane Jennings, Elections Director While running the elections Jane Corporate Qelations/Elections and hectic and it takes a real commitment; but it is worth it, according to Heather. The com– mitment has really shown as Heather and her committee have reached out to U.S.D. through surveys to find out what they think. Heather has kept her committee's spirit high with these few simple words, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again-until you get it right!" The purpose of Public Rela– tions is "to improve the commu– nication between. the student body and A.S." according to Heather Jones, Director of Pub– lic Relations. She has enjoyed being a part of it all and getting to see and understand all the work that goes into program– ming. She adds that she espe– cially likes the people she has worked with. Sometimes the hours are long * Heather Smith, Director of Public Relations 33 One of the hardest jobs in student government is the position of Concert Board. Alex Chucri was called into fill the position and he had one purpose: to have two major sold out acts for U.S.D. in the year 1990. Alex thinks that "the best thing about the A.S. was the people who were involved because they all worked together assertively in everything they did." The decision making aspect of his job was one of the things he liked the most be- ' cause it affected the whole :student body. His quote for the year 1 came from his mother; "if ;you can't say anything nice, 1 don't say anything at all." Alex Chucri, Concert Board Dih>ci Concert Board Film forum "T o show Blockbuster hits" was the goal of Liam Gimon, the Film Forum Director. Liam received his goal by showing such films as "Pet Cemetery" and "Beaches" which were his most largely attended shows. Liam is a Junior and this is his third year being involved in A.S. He enjoys his role in A.S. because of the great friendships that have oped. Along with the friendships, he loved the softball game with A.S. members! His committee has been a great help to his programming. They help "splice" and actually show the mov– ies. Liam and his committee worked hard and they hope to "see you at the movies!"

T Christopher Steeb. A junior this year, Christo– pher wanted to organize a crew that would enjoy its job and be responsible for the Larks. Along with the committee, he worked on programming con– certs that would attract the U.S.D. community. Christopher has like his involvement with student govern– ment this year because the people that make up the A.S. have become his friends. He believes that the organization is a very strong one and he was very excited to be a part of it. Most of all he liked the opportunity he got to use his leader– ship as well as his creative skills. The two thing.s he will remember the most about this year are the Thursday Night Happy Hour reggae concert and of course he adds, the A.S. sloshball game! For those planning on joining such an organization, Chris– topher leaves this advice; "If you've got a job to do, do it, and do it right." ,,, ,. "; • ... - f~l ,O; ·, .

After a long and seemingly endless discussion that lasted 5 hours and twenty-nine minutes and forty-six second, the homecoming committee final– ly gave in and recounted the votes cast for the Homecoming Queen of 1989. The results of the committee's recount clearly indicates that Hostile Woman won the Homecomming Queen award. The pressure was exerted from a delegation formed by Hostile Man and his wife. They formed this delegation, according to Hostile Man, because "she [Mrs Hostile Man] was not even on the BEEP ballot. That is just not BEEP fair. I want to BEEP know if everyone BEEP knew that." lam Awe– some, a representative of the homecoming commit– tee, responded to the accusations: "I am sick and tired of this. I want to go home." A observer close to the discussing meant that "a factor, which had alot of weight, was the demonstration they had." Wesome is referring to the demonstration the delegation organized last Sunday behind the print shop. Officials from the Homecoming committee say there "were about five people at the place." A official from the delegation counted about 245.879 people. The San Diego Police, which was present at the beginning of the demonstration, said they saw 9.456 people. continued on page 34 Another Kents editorial. See page 92 Censorship!! After a long stand-off between the Associated Students and the Edito– rial Board of the Vista. a picture was finally cen– sored. Kent Sligh, the Editor-in-chief, said that the censorship was a "letdown, but also a vie~ tory, because we are al– lowed to print it" ''The whole year we were fearing that we might be censored," said Sports Editor Murphy Canter. "Especially my section was looked at closely." Indeed the sports sectionoftheVista was watched carefully and read with great en– thusiasm from both the Administration and the students alike. continued on page 67 Vista Makes News Of Its Own On Channel 10 News The city ofSan Diego had trouble accepting Vista's editor-in-chief, Kent Sligh's, attempt at satire. Kent Sligh published his editorial, in the September 19, 1989 issue of the Vista, concerning the topic of minorities at USD. He made comments on the role of minor– ities at USD, "Okay, I reali1.e that we need a few of them to cut the grass and cook for us, but do we have to put up with minority students?" Kent Sligh also stated some reasons why he feels we should not have minorities here, "Also they clash with this school's white architecture. It's unsightly ... State is a good place for minorities, they have all kinds of different colored buildings. President Hughes advocates ethnic diversity on campus. Ethnic diversity is a goal that the university hopes to achieve. Kent's opinion on that goal is, "I guess it's okay to say we are trying for ethnic diversity if it makes the school look better to outsiders, but I don't want us to actually do any thing about It." Kent Sligh used his current exposure to minorities as defense of his statements "I watch the Cosby Show. I party in Tijuana. I eat at Chinese restaurant; two or three times a year. I know about ethnic folk." Kent suggests "that we stop letting ethnic people in this school before it's too late." Vista readers read the Kent's editorial and read the "Note: The article above is sature." But some felt Kent Sligh had pushed the limit. The general public found Kent's attempt at satire too hard to swallow. Using direct comments open-ended statements are all part of the Vista's ideals in reporting the news. Anewspaper plays an important role in stating "how It Is," and this was definitely their attribute this past school year! \ 38 VI~TA And this is what the office looks like at 9 in the morning.
