Along with a great deal of personal satisfaction, you can receive a lifetime income and a significant tax benefit right now. Here's how the plan works: You make a gift of property, cash or securities, to the University. ThL girt is put into a separate trust, called a "unitrust" under the Internal Revenue Code. You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a charitable contribution in accordance with the "pre ent value" table· of the Treasury Department. You will receive a 6.192 percent return on the annually determined value of your gift-for the remainder of your life, for the life of a de ignated beneficiary, or for a term of years (not to exceed 20). Part of this income may be taxable at the preferred capital gain rates.

AUTHOR E, HUGHES Private Schools Need Business Support

More than ever, Amerlcan private hlghrr education deserves the support of American industry and business. Mm,• specifically, Cali!ornla private education de- serves and needs the support of the business community. To substantiate that claim, let's take a look at hl~her education m California. In this state th!'r!' arr thrrc kinds ,of four-y!'ar colleges: the University of California, the state universities and rolleges , and the mdependcnt unlversltlrs and coll1•ges. There are more than 90 two- yrar rommunlty colleges. . . Thi>rr art> r,1 fully accredited, four-yPar mst1tullons that romprlsP the Association of lndrp!'ndcnt Cnllfornla Collt·grs and L111vrrsltlrs Last \'Par, these 51 schools enrollPd about a fourth of all studt>nis m four-year and graduate institutions 1n Caltfor- nia - about 120,000 students altogrth!'r. What 0 111• man bellevt>s Is good for private universities may not bf' the opinion of others Involved in lm1cpcndent high!'r t>ducat10n. Colleges are like people. Each has a sepa rate J)f'rsonallty, a different reason for being. How do the graduates of private universities compli- ment the business commun1ty·1 Because their t>xperlence has been in an atmosphere free of gove111ment control where the institution establishes Its own educational goals, policies and budgets, the graduate comes from a background rich In leadership, involvement and above all concern for each person as an individual. At the University of San Diego the student is being trained to be a decision maker . He Is guided towards becoming a ll'a der. . Wit h rrgards to the business community, at the l nlverslly of San Diego our experience of the past two vears reflects an Increase 1n both involvement and intPrest from the corporate sector. Futt h(•rmort>, this partirlpallon has come simultaneously wjth Increased lnvo!Vt'mmt from other groups who share lnterf'st In tughcr education and who participate In our planning for the future.

This is particularly true of our board of trustP.eS. The government of the state of California lnvt>Sted In our board of trustl'f!s the authority and responsibility for ttie welfare of the institution ¼hen 1t approved its chartn. Thrsr trustees rrprPSPnt businrss, industry, professiqns and the clPrgy . Several or them arr also alumni. Some have served as fa<'ully and administrators. Cul!Pc~vely, all 30 of them have thf' ulllmate authority for all srgm1•nts of university operations. W1• share a r.omrnon goal - a higher standard 01 t•d1watwn for all - and a Rfll!<'lfit kind of edu,·a!Jr>_n at the Ur11v1•rs1ty of San Diego Th<;re is room fl>r difference In how this goal may be achieved. At thC' Umvl'rslty of San Dl!'go, leaders of buslnes.'I ancl industry ran be conf1d1•nt that their funds go to supp1Jrt all of ttw programs. Unrestricted funds support the t<>tal institution in application of a simply exprl'~Sf:d ronvlr• tlon. We believe that the very highest ar.adPmic and Intellectual i;tandarcts are compatible with concern fbr spiritual purpose and moral valuPs. W<: believe they are not only compatible, but inseparable. Last year, unrestricted funds_ advanc:ed the undergrad- uate library, paid faculty salams, supported scholarstup programs, and al so directly supported the three profes- sional schools. · In eaeh of the four srhools being developed here we are moving toward the goal of total education for the wholP man ,md woman . This approach to education requires an unusual kind of faculty . lnd1v1duals who whrn called upon to synth1•slzc, IQ comment, or to makP judgments do so with wisdom and compassion At the University of San Dil'~u wp are developlnl( this kind of program To succe<'d we must havr• th•: full support of coocemed busmrss and Industrial lcadns Wr bl'li<'vt• we merit such wpport Dr. Hu9hes os the pre11dent of the Un,vertoly ol Son D,• .

Foster, dean of USD's Col• lege of Arts and Sciences, said next year's lncomrng class, estimated at about 400 tudents, will be required to select one thr -credlt preceptorlal class from a fac- ulty member who will also serve as the student's academic adviser. •'The main point is to integrate the academlc advising with the classroom experience," Foster said He said the classes will be llmlted to 15 students each to proVIde the instructor a chance to have more personal contact with the student during the semester and ob- serve him in an academic environmen~. "In the trad1lional setting the adviser might see th tudent only two or times during the semester .~nd then it _s m his office, not a classroom. Foster said. He said USD's size - a total undergrad- uate enrollment of 1,500 - makes this _type of program workable where larger univer- sities llke San Diego State and UCSD might fmd it admimstrallvely impossible. Fo~1er said the smaller classes also offer the im,iructors the opportunity to initiate Innovative programs! This was a require- ment for those faculty members who ap- plied to teach in the preceptorial program. "For example," Foster said, "a physics class might be taught through the exami- nation of musical instruments." All of the 25 to 30 preceptorial cl.asses will fulfill a USD general education re- quirement, Foster said. . . He said grading would be ~m1ted to pass-fall, with a written evaluation of the student's perfonnance, in order to maln- tn the Instructor's advisory relationship with the freshman. Although the program ls not new - it has been uccessfully used at Grinnell GoUege 1n Iowa where Foster fonnerly taught - he said lt i new the them California ar a -------~--

saying the same thing. "The general feeling of people I've talked to is it's not going to be a piece of cake." Birdsong was spiffed up in a conservative suit waiting to speak to a young representative of a local bank. Some twenty other firms had set up tables in Montezwna Hall for State's career infonnation day. Companies that sent personnel to the meetings were told the purpose of the affairs was to tell students what they might not learn other- wise-how to make the most of their degrees, whether they should do advanced degree work, what to ex- pect in the way of work conditions, wages and advancement. Despite that intent, some students were pressing for jobs, and some company reps were initiating the interviewing process. Jim Huifman, a two-year Navy veteran about to get his political science bachelor's degree, was asked by a bank to send in his

resume. He's been thinking of going to graduate school but says he really wants to go to work. There is a certain attitude of prag. matism evident - one that tells students they might be better off taking what they can get now, whether or not it meshes closely, with what they've been studying. Sharon Adams, a senior majoring in social welfare, said, "Social workers just aren't being hired in the welfare agencies right now. Hos- pitals are hiring, but jobs are tight." She wandered over to the table of a pharmaceutical manufacturer and leafed through a a brochure before deciding against talking to the com- pany rep. "This is mainly selling and I don't want to do that." But she stopped to talk to a sav• ings and loan association employe who told her there are jobs open for tellers and new-accounts personnel. While the company representa- tives seemed to approve direct ques-

tloning from students about openings and starting salaries, some thought the questions didn't go far enough, that they should have been aimed at the demands of specific kinds of work. The representative of a real estate sales, development and investment counseling company said he had to volunteer some of the realities. "Our work is highly competitive and sales oriented. The turnover rate (of em- ployes) ls high." Do students understand what that means? "No, I don't think so. They all think they can do it. They don't seem to understand how cruel it is. 11 Students said they were willing to do what they have to in order to get work. Many don't want to leave San Diego. Business senior Birdsong is re- signed to the strong likelihood of le_aving his hometown, but it hurts.

"I was out sailing last weekend in the sunshine and I started asking myself, 'Why are yotl trying to talk yourself into trying to leave 1 ' " What do the companies want? "An achiever, that's what we're interested in," says the representa- tive of a diversified national corpo- ration with headquarters here. "A guy who's willing to wait a while so he can reach a goal. 11 Right now it's a seller's market and the companies can wait for authentic gems to step up to the interviewing desk. Birdsong says San Diego State's placement center "advises us to interview with just about everybody we can get a date with. 11 The process is not overly pleasant for him. "It's not easy to sell your- self," he said, just before stepping up to talk with the bank representa- tive.

Some were in 1'-vis, others were in suits and most looked very un- comfortable. The word around campus this year is that jobs - really good ones - are going to be very hard to find. That's what most students were saying while they waited to talk to business representatives on two campuses here last week during career infor- mation meetings. "Everybody's worried about find- ing a good spot," said University of San Diego business adminsistration sophomore Brian Chambers, whose efforts to case the employment scene well before his own graduation underscores the concern. "People go here and hope the school's got a good enough name to help them pull a job in." Across Misslon Valley at San Diego State, senior business admin- istration major Jim Birdsong was

Dr. Author Hughes, USD president. said an essential part of the scholarship award will be a letter of recommen- dation from the pastor of the home parish of the applicant. He has sent to each pastor the necessary details and application forms. IN ADDITION to the 24 recipients of the new leader- ship scholarships, several additional scholarships will be made available to the strongest runner-up nomin- ees on an at-large basis. Bishop Maher told past- ors, "I ask you and your priests to give your support and encouragement by seek- ing out and recommending qualified applicants from your parish, and by attend- ing deanery meetings at which President Hughes will describe the program." NOMINEES WILL come from students at high school . .
