Special 1o The San Diego Union HOLLYWOOD-In an illus- trnus career of 59 pictures, James Cagney has played a real-life character only four times. The first three v.:ere show-business person- alities, the fourth (in h i s current and 59th film) Is the late Adm. William F. (BuIIJ Halsey, one of the authentically great heres of World War II. Tilled "The G a 11 a n t Hours," the film will have a preview at the Fox Thea- ter here May 17 as a bene• fit for the University of San D I ego. The university's Women's Auxiliary ls spon, sor. "The Gallant Hours" deals y,•lth that fantastic period of le s than five \H'eks in which a handful of Army, :t-,a1·y and Marine Corps per- sonnel, under Halsey's dy- namic command stopped the then powerful Japanese dead in their tracks and turned the tide of war. It is a r ea 1 is tic, no-punches- ~ulled account of modern warfare, from the viewpoint of one of the saltiest and most colorful personalities _in the Allied high command. In support of Cagney as Ralsey are such performers as Dennis Weaver, Richard (;::arlyle, Carl Benton Reid, W a r d C o s t e 11 a, Les Tremayne. Walter Sande, Vaughan Taylor and Rich- ard Jaeckel. A Ca g n e Y· Montgomery Production, "The Gallant Hours" was reduced and directed by Robert Montgomery, mak- ing his debut in that double capacity.

Father McManus, a onetime practicing attorney and World War II Navy veteran, received a similar grant last year. His study wlll be in the graduate school of law for a doctorate of science degree in jurispru- dence. The grant was announced by the Most Rev. Charles F. Buddy, bishop of San Diego Romnn Catholle diocese and president of the university. l<'athcr McManus was or- dained to the priesthood aft- er a 10-year career as a trial lawyer in Los Angeles and four years of active duty as a naval officer. The award, one of 20 given in the United States, has rig- id qualification requJrements, including possession of a mas- ter's degree and faculty stat- us.

San ,ego Upnolds Position As Higher Education Center SA:. DIEGO'S COLLEGl!:S AND universities appear to be well eqt1ipped to accommodate the much publicized student "tidal wave" of the 1960s when it begins to break on•r campu es next fall. • Particularly, they show

that San Diego's higher education facilities are keeping pace with the growing needs of an exploding population. The city is maintaining its position as the university center o! the South- \H'Sl. 'Cnfortunately, our fine college and university capacity is not enjoyed by other parts of the nation. Many of the so-called high-prestige "name" col- leges in the Bast have to reject as man) as three out of four able appli- cants simply for lack of openings for freshmen. This high rejection rate has helped to create what one observer has called the "myth of an admissions problem in American education." THE TRUTH IS. AS SAN DIEGO gives impressive evidence there are ample opportunities for enrollment here in colleges of excellent and grow- ing national and international repute. The relative freedom from the aca- demic scramble for admission to col• lege by Western students is shown in figures from the College Admissions Center in Northbrook, Ill. The center operates under the auspices of the As- sociation of College Admissions Coun- selors. It is a clearinghouse for high sehool graduates seeking a college to attend. and accredited <'Olleges seeking more students Last year it served only 43 students from Pacific :;!ates, compared with 914 from Middle Atlantic states. 425 from the Midwest, and 27•1 from New Eng- land. BUT SELF-COl\'GRATULATION ON our favorable position should not lead to complacency. The following point made in a recent study by the West- ern Interstate Commission for Higher Education should keep us on our toes: "In 1970, California alone will have · almost as many college age youths as there are in the entire West at present."

Local colleges could take care or al- most 5.000 mo1·e _·tudents than are now enrolled a recent sun·ey showed. JI is not expected tha( lhe increase will reach that amount. (This applies only to iru;tit uon~ of higher education. The story is different in our elementary and h1glr schools. Their need to expand to meet an elt• pected influx of new students will large- ly depend on passage of the school con- struction bond issue In the June 7 elec- tion.) San Diego State, with a present en- rollment of 10,000 students, could take up to 12.500 next fall. Only about 3()0 new students-still a healthy increase -are expected. California ·western Unh·ersity could add 200 more students to its present e:u-ollment of 1.450 when classes re- sume in September. Existing facilities at the UniYersity of San Diego could more than double the present 1,000 enrollment.
