OFF CAMPUS

Tiredof livinginasardinecan, sharing public restrooms,waiting in line just to take a shower? Although living on campus has some advantages, many upperclassmen prefer tohave aplace of their own — their own sanctuary without R.A.'s or neighbors behind thin walls, USDstudents canbe foundinall areas of San Diego county. They are most prevalent in two areas-Dogpatch, an areabelow campus on theother sideof Linda Vista Road, and anywherewith the zip code 92109-thebeach. Dogpatch is close to school and studentsget great exercise walking up steep hills to get to class.Thearea also has a very high concentration of USD students. It is almost like living in the dorms except youhave topay monthly rent and supply your own toilet paper. The beaches are the reason why many students choose to come to San Diego. Missionand Pacific Beach offer many apartments with semester and year-round leases. A student can enjoy the surf and sun while mingling with other students from USDand SDSU. Life at the beach is laid-backwhich can sometimes interfere with studying. It can also bea transient life. It is not un­ usual for students tochangeapartments and roommates several times a year. Forthose students who like the security

of the dorms but prefer being closer to shore, USD offersan alternative. Theoff- campusOakwoodapartment complex isaffiliated with the university.Each year the management reserves a certain number of apartmentsfor USDstudents. The complex has a lot tooffer including a pool, jacuzzui and volleyball court. The ever popular jacuzzi is a local hangout for students after ahardday of

classes. Living off-campus does not take away from your social life as some studentsmay fear. Sometimes it brings students closer as they develop their own close-knit communities.It is having thebest of both worlds.Going toa great school andhavingaplace you can call home away from the classroom.

DESALES One ofthe USDdormitories isDeSalesHall. Housing most ofthe freshmenguys, itis divided into twoparts; anEast andaWest side. Likemost dorms, DeSaleshas many events.Among the more popular activities are: yelling, screaming,and complaining, which can be heard at all hours of the day and night. Most of the commotion occurs while everyone is trying to get to sleep, thereforemany DeSales freshmen rarely make it to their eight o'clock class. Although the rooms are not very large, theyare comfortable and after afew weeks intothe semester they acquireunique characteristics. Posters adorn the walls inan attempt to form anew kind of wallpaper. The life-sustaining refrigerators, microwaves, stereos, and t.v.'sclutter the rooms. Living in DeSales isnever boring. You meetmany new people and it is easy to get involved with various activities. The locationof DeSales isgoodbecause it isnear thebookstore and the snack bar.However, the disadvantages are the distant walks to the girls' dorms, or tothe parking lot of thesports center. There­ fore, physical fitness is a requisite forliving inDeSales. In retrospect, the wide variety of guysand their un­ usual, yet humorous personalities, is what makes othersenjoy visitingDeSales and formsagreat experi­ ence for thefreshmen guys. CAMINO/FOUNDERS From orientation, to fratparties, torush, to holidays and finals, the girlsof Camino/FoundersHalls were en­ thusiastic and out for a great time all year long. On the weeknights, the smell of fresh, hotpopcorn filled the corridors. Delivery boys were seen roaming the hallscarrying boxes of steaminghot pizzas.It was obvious if any studying was needed to be done, it was not done in these dorms. Fridays and Saturdayswere the most active and hyper times, as the sound of hairdryers rang through thehallsandsongs of popular groupswereblaringon stereos. Weekends promised the best of times as memories were created which will never be forgotten. The residents of Camino/Founders worked hard and played hard as well. Like typical freshmen girls, they enjoyedeach others company andmade dorm life a fun and exciting experience.

There is a real trick to finding a quiet place in the sun.

Oh, the responsibilitiesof college life!

•RAi * I realized howmuch I likedbeingan R.A.when I came home from the firstCampus Ministry retreat of the year. Five of my residents came up to me and told me that they had missed me while I was gone. BeinganR.A. is one of themost challengingandexcit­ ing aspects ofmy senior year. I feel fortunate to have been given the opportunity to make a difference in other people's lives. An R.A.'swork is not just "being on duty" at the crossroads, andit isnot justpassing out fliers or filling out yellowdamage deposit cards. It is an ex­ perience in learning about oneself and other people, making new friends, and sharing in the pains and triumphs of your residents. Working with freshmen can be an especially reward­ ing experience. The resident assistant canbe one of the most influencial persons in the life of anewcomer toUSD. An R.A. becomes your friend and mentor. Discipline is also a part of the job. Dealing with situ­ ations involving alcohol, intervisitation, and most commonly, noise are experiences that add toour personal growth and leadership abilities. It is certainly not our most enjoyable responsibility,but it is an im­ portant one. One thingwhich helps anR.A. through the hard times, like when a fire alarm goes off the night before a final exam, is the close ties they share withother R.A.'son their particular staff. There are five resident assistantstaffs in­ cluding, the Oakwoods, Camino/Founders, DeSales, Phase A-OldMissions, andphaseB-New Missions.All the R.A.'s have a certainbond dueto their position and shared experiences. Theyhave a close friendship with the R.A.'son theirstaff because of the constant interac­ tion and support. This taff unity is one of the most im­

portant things to an R.A., because you always know that another R.A.will be there tohelp youwhen youneed it. Perhaps thebest indicationof whata fantastic oppor­ tunity itis tobeanR.A. the number of studentswho apply for the position each year. More than75 people apply each year for fewer than one-third the number of posi­ tions available. It is an experience I will never forget. It has taught me more about myself and the people around me. — by Sharon Stegmuller

: Life downin the Valley wasa little dif­ ferent from life up on campus. The various areas of theValley included: the OldMissions (Phase A), theNew Mission (Phase B), theBahia andKnolles apart­ ment complexes (each with its own swimming pool), the St. Francis Seminary, and the Mission Crossroads. The Crossroads was the center of the Valley. In it was the lounge,a common place where peoplecould study or get together with friends. There always was a RA on duty who would always lend support and made living there special.

Havinga unique teamname isalmost as important as performance on the field. Names arederived from people (Uncle Wiggley's, Kern's) to food (Steamed Broccoli andPink Tacos) and beverages (Better BuyThe Case). Some teams have names to psyche out their opponents such as Better Termi­ nators, Crush Poltzand the Ballbangers. Some names were ingood fun like Just Fore Play and the Dream Team. Some lucky students were able to wear their intramural championship T- shirtsat the end of the season. Regard­ lessof winning, good times and friends are remembered long after the T-shirt has faded.

One ofthemorememorable aspects of lifeat theUniversityof San Diego is the intramural sports program. Students have the opportunity to participate in over 20 different leagues, tournaments and special events. From softball to midnight bowling there issomething for everyone. Intramural sports is more than just compet i t i on betweenweekend athletes. It is aprogram which promotes friendship andfun. The comraderie that develops on the playingfields goes on for years. Teams, such as the Poltz's, return year after year even after the original membersare gone. Memories of after-game partieslinger long after graduation.

Fifteen years after the merger of the San Diego College for Womenand the San Diego College for Men into one Universityof San Diego, there emerged theUniversity Center-abuildingdedica­ ted to the holisticeducation forwhich USDhas become known and to theen­ hancement of the one community USD has become TheUniversityCenter, which opened itsdoors in January,1987doubled previ­ ously existing dining space for students and faculty witha 300 seat Grille, a 300 seat deli, a 425 seat student dining room, and a 120 seat faculty dining room, bothof the latter featuring mag­ nificent views of MissionBay. The center ushered inanewera inco- curricular programming. The 500 seat Multi-purpose Room, equipped with state-of-the-art sound, lights, portable staginganddividing walls allows for top quality presentation of films, speakers, cultural programs, and exhibits. Studentscan finally holdindoor dances on the 3800 square foot oak floor. ASclubs and organizations, formerly without spaceoncampus,nowoperate out of first-class student organizations center, as well as graduate associ­ ations. ASexecutive offices, ASprogram directors and senators' offices as well as the offices of Student Affairs and Campus Ministry also moved into the building. Designed tobe the "living room ofthe campus," the UniversityCenter features the same 16thcentury SpanishRenaiss­ ance architecture as the other buildings on campus but with a consciously residential feel achieved through the use of red tiled roof, teak and mahogany wood framed arched windows and soft interior colors. Roy Drew of Mosher, Drew, Watson and Ferguson designed the project. Professor Terry Whitcomb was the in­ terior designer. Trepte Constrution Company was the general contractor.

Do yourecall all those times you gothungry when pulling an all-nighter? Andwheredidyouendupgoingonce you wokeup your friends and made them come along for the ride? Well, Roberto's seems to be one of the most popular eating holes. No matter what time of the day or night it s, many USD students willbe found at thecounter trying to give their ordersto people who usually give youa questioning look as to what you are attempting torder. After all the trials and tribulations of ordering are done with, and you finally receive your authentic Mexican food, you know it was worth the wait. NYPD pizza is another favorite on our campus. Their free delivery is quick and cheap. A lot of the students whodo not have cars or are just too lazy togodownandpick up their pizza, take advantageof their service. But forthose who wanta study break and to procrastinate a little longer, NYPD is right at the bottom of the hill on Friar'sRoad. I know we all havexperienced those times of stress when everywhere we go there is noise. We cannot escape it, so we head to one of the most known restaurant chains throughout California: Denny's. Therewe can get anything from coffee to dinner andnot feel badly about taking up abooth for three or four hours. It is not possible to fall asleep there because of the constant amusement of the people around you. The food is adequate and the change ofatmosphere isa good way to relax and get away from the burdens of everything. The Yogurt Cupis about fiveminutes awayand is thespot to go on those 90 degreedays when your dorm is like a furnace. The flavors change daily and there isan assortment oftoppings to choose from. The short drive is worth it and the yogurt is deli­ cious! Do you ever feel like you have to study, but you simply can't get motivated? If you areever inthis kind of mood,go down to the Mission Crossroads. There it is possible to looklike you are studying, but with all the people going in and out, you spend well over half yourtime talking to aquaintances.

ORIENTATION

It was September1,1986; the firstday of our lives here at USD, a day we will remember forever. A day with 800 new faces, 1600 parents, 4000 boxes and 22,000 goals and dreams. For many people across America this was just Labor Day, but to 800new students at USDitwas the beginning of their college lives. The first week of college wasnot all we thought it would be. Also knownas Orientation Week, there were no tensions, homework, boring professors or library visits.The first week was more like a carnival, with a lot of fun and new friends. Any bystander watchingprob­ ably couldnot have distinguishedany of the new college students from kinder- gartners. The week's events included square dancing, where you bowed to your partner then to your corner perpetually for three hours. There was also Sea World, where we were graced with a performance by Shamu the Killer Whale, then danced the night away in a more progressive fashion. Sports day came next.

Months ofpreparation finally paid off for the "O-Team" as they welcomed students toUSD.For three days the team engaged in non-stop training and preparation. By Monday, the O-Team was more than ready to exert all their built-up energy. From day one the freshmen were literally run ragged. On Sports Day, students were marched down to the soccer field where they were to run in several events.TheO-Team demonstra­ ted the t rad i t i ona l s teamro l l er / caterpillar, The freshmen caught on quickly and weresoon rolling all over one another, This, along with the infa­ mous "Amoeba" were the most enjoy­ ableevents towatch, Thepurposeof the events were notonly tohave fun, butto serveasan ice-breaker andget toknow acqaintances better. SportsDay ended with a"splash" as the O-Teamtradition­ ally attacked the unsuspecting fresh­ men with water balloons. The attendence at all of the events was greater than expected, Itwas the O-Team's hard work, dedication, and genuine understanding that helped make Orientation Week so much fun. Freshmen askedO-Teammembers why they had joined the team. Reasons varied but in general it was to meet people and become involved with a great school activity. Many people ex­ pressed aninterest in becoming part of the Team. It isthis spirit and enthusiasm which the students possess that make this community what it is. We may be small, but unity iswhat keeps the spirit of USDalive.

Withpens poised we were ready for the onslaught of eager people desperate for aglanceat recent history. It could have been a bad scene. Luckily there were distractions from the ever-popular yearbook tables. There were plenty of outdoor barbeque delicacies to tempthe palate of even the most choosy party connoiseur. For the athletic there were opportunities to showoff skills in juggling asoccer ball, basic beach volleyball technique, the ol' football standby, as well as thefull- scale softball game. Of course, there were reunions left and right of friends whohadbeen sadly seperatedthrough the summer months and needed to catch up on every aspect of each other's lives.Thefield was adorned with colorful groups of people who had crashed there to socialize, their voices mingling with the loud music floating through the air.

The Associated Students (AS) gave everyone a surprise when the ever- popular "SpudMackenzie" appeared as USD'sHomecoming King. Thanks to Bud Light, who sponsored the Torero homecoming, Spud was able to join everyone for the celebration. After the ceremonies the game con­ tinued. It got coldout and the Torero's bad luck continued. The fans however remained to see the end of the game. The team put upa fight butjust could not ain any headway as the gameended 41-7 in favor of Oxy. The annual homecoming dance was held this year at the Hyatt Islandia. Cocktails started at six and the dance lasted until one. There were two bands which everyoneseemed to enjoy; "Cost 45's" and "Cat Track."One hundred and sixty bids were sold.All who attended had a great time and as the theme speaks for itself, it was a"Night of En­ chantment".

Homecoming is a well known tradition which has been around for quite some time. Students know hat to expect for year after year the tradition remains the same. The sequence of events always occurs in the sameorder and thevents for the most part are identical every year. On Nov.8,1986 fansgathered to sup­ port the Torero football team as they took on Occidental College for their homecoming game, thiswas also the last home game of the season. The game got off to a bad start for the Toreros. At halftime they were down 27- 7. Oxy hadtaken control, but thisdid not damper the spirits of the fans who were impatiently waiting for the homecoming parade. The NROTC Drill Team kicked offthe parade with one of their special routines. Next, the floats started making their way aroundthe field. Eachfrater­ nity entered a float into the contest, as well as each class division and the Spanish club. Thetheme this year was "Music in America". Sigma Chi was the proud winner of the float contest with their "Western"float. As the floats faded away the homecoming court gradually made its way onto the field; each girl es­ corted in a classic Mustang.
