Tribune photo by Jerry McClard 'I don't have any answers for what happened. We're a good foul-shooting team' - Jim Brovelli, above *Toreros------- Continued From Page C-1 State. The reasons why Clipper management thinks that Whitmarsh could be a draftable National Basketball As- sociation player by season's end were evident in spurts last night He finished with 29 points on 11-for-19 shootmg from the field, including two consecutive, twisting layups off NBA caliber drives, which gave USD its 58-55 lead. ·Mike was Just outstanding tonight," Brovelli said. "That's why it's bard to put the b_lame on him for mis ed free throws He got us in a position where we could win the game. I don't have any answers for what happened. We're a good foul-shooting team. Mike's an exceptional foul shooter." Whitmarsh shot from the line 18 times and missed 11 of them, a few of which were front ends of one-and-one situations. Guard Al Moscatel and forward Dave Mclver, who gave the Toreros ome punch off the bench, were a combined four for nme at the foul lme. USD, of cour e, is a team that wins on fundamentals - sharp passing. a hounding defe_nse, good pe~centage shots and, until last night, automatic foul shootmg. That was the final irony. The loss leaves the Toreros with a 2-1 record and a case of mdigestion as they prepare to go on the road for t:,vo games before returning home Dec. 15 agamst Sprmg Arbor College. USD's next game is Thursday at Texas Tech ("into the fire of the Southwest Conference,'' Brovelli puts it). That's followed by a Saturday contest against Nor!hem Arizon3:. What Brovelli knows about Northern Arizona IS that 1t lost a seven-point game at the University of Arizona last week. No more moral victories for USD. Only the mem- ory of an immoral loss

"Medea,' at the University of San Diego, is one of the oldest stories in show business.

Kolar, music director at USO and a specialist on Czechoslovakian and Middle European composers, discovered the manuscript that Is a musical rarity. Benda was a musician and composer whose texts were not sung but recited with musical accompani- ment. The USD version Is translated from Czech and German by Renata Valois, with annotations by Kolar and adapted for theater by director Pamela Connolly. "It's true to the spirit of the original," Miss Con- nolly says, crossing her fingers . "The manuscript had no stage directions, quite often no clues as to who was the speaker, or to whom. It's a challenge for the cast as well. "The piece is a precursor to 19th century melo- drama, highly stylized, completelY. alien to present- day concepts of dramas which are influenced greatly by Stanislavski's theories and methods. But It's a great opportunity, a full emotional drama. augmented by the music." Tess Delano plays Medea, the sorceress who kills her brothers 1n order to help Jason capture the Golden Fleece.

MAGAZINE DEC

San Diego Magazine deserves applause for its efforts to cover San Diego's rich and varied higher education offerings ("The Class of 1988," September 1983). Back in 198 1 the University of San Diego was described by Harold Keen in your own pages as "perhar; the West's most prestigious Catholic in- stitution.•· We are pleased that you note m 1983 our focus on quality education comb ined with personal attention. Despite USD's phenomenal growth- a more than doubled enrollment in a dee• ade- and other signs of expansion such as this year's addition of three new facilities , we have sustained the values on which the university was founded . One of those is the belief in the dignity of the individual. In "everyday" terms that translates to a faculty that cares about students, engages with them, knows them by name , and spends an ex- traordinary amount of time with them outside the classroom. This is true in our four professional schools in business, education, law and nursing, as well as in our graduate programs and at the undergraduate level. We hope San Diego Magazine will consider providing in-depth coverage of area higher educa- tion in the future . In the meantime you have emphasized how importan t our campuses are to the vigor of America's Finest City. SARA FINN Director of Public Relations University of San Diego
