The information office re- ported that the university will soon buy some apart- ments near the school to expand its student housing capacity. PROVIDING FOR an an- nual grant of $500 or $1,000, depending on financial need, the leadership scholarships are presented on a deanery basis. They are given in each of the 12 deaneries to one freshman and one junior transfer student. Dr. Author Hughes, USD president, said· an essential part of the scholarship award is a letter of recommendation from the pastor of the applicant's home parish.

admissions, "'is due to our location in San Diego and the fact that students are being much more selective in seeking a good education, especially when there is tuition involved." The size of the class has also helped swell the total student body size to approxi- mately 2. 700 students, also a school record, according to USD's public. information office. Last year's student body had approximately 2,500 students.

Part of that swelling is also due to an increase of 24 students who joined the school's ranks as a result of the Catholic Leadership Scholarship program begun by the diocese this year. INCLUDED IN this year's total are 210 transfers from community and other col- leges around the country. Demands for on-campus housing have been so great, the school has been forced to expand living quarters. Thomas Burke, dean of students, said that residence requirements have been such that "we requisitioned the administration building con- ference room for living quarters."

If the 460 freshmen pan• dering purchases at the University of San Diego book stare make for an over-large crowd, the reason is that they comprise the largest fresh- man class in the school's 25-year history. The USD class of 1979 has 235 men and 225 women. Last year's class totalled 354 freshmen. "THE LARGE freshman class this year," said Sister Annette Bourret, director of

V.ull 1974.

Toreros is no longer looking at football as someone else's problem. I'm inter- ested in kids with educational goals. That's why I've recruited so many freshmen ." Logan said 27 members of his • team are freshmen and 10 of those started last week in a garh!! lost to L.A. State, 36-10. "I've _gone after the (reshman athlete with the idea of building for · the future," Logan said. "When I got here, 29 members of last year's team were still here. Of those, 11 came out for football and now just five of those are left." As with any young team, Logan said his squad has-made the usual number of mistakes, especially in the early going. But the team is slowly ironing them out. "We've been in over our heads 'through the first five games," Logan said. "Youth and depth have been our major problems. After we played Whittier two weeks ago (a 16- 12 loss), their coach told me we should be 4 and l instead of 1 and 4. "It's a simple case of develop- ment. Early in the year we had a freshman game with Arizona West- ern and they beat us, 37-6. We played them again a week ago and beat them, 27-14." So Logan feels the team is starting to come around now. Thi' toughest half of USD's schedule is behind him and the sky is getting bluer. "In the second half of our schedule we play teams with the same prob- lems we have," Logan said. "I'm looking forward to it. Next year, we'll have 10 of our offensi e starters back. So things should be brighter."

drop the football program. I don't know if he started it (the rumor) or who. _ "A lot of problems were dumped mto my lap. There was an image problem. Football is kind of an out- law sport here and many of the kids were playing who didn't have any educational goals." Although the 1-5 record doesn't show it, Logan has gone a long way toward correcting those problems. "I have a different philosophy than m)'. predecessor (Vinci) ," Logan said. "I have no desire to go big time. I don't think there is any way we _c°:n play with San Diego State. This 1s a beautiful school with a lot of plusses but the university just isn't financially set up to go big time. "This doesn't mean that I don't want a winning football program here But the program just wasn't being nm correctly. Football was off by itself and the university didn't have much to do with it so a Jot of things were going on here that shouldn't have been. " "ni running the program under NCAA rules and the administration

In an era when most college foot- ball coaches strive to crack top 10s and earn national favor for their te_ams, University of San Diego's Dick Logan 1s an enigma. When Logan, 36, left his assistant coaching Job at San Francisco State in February to take over the head coaching job vacated by Andy Vinci he found hunself at a school where football was not the main course. Where the football program itself was listed as ' doubtful." Vinci left f r the greener football pastures of Cal Poly of Pomona in January after guiding the 'i'oreros to a 9-2-1 record last year plus a berth m the NCAA College Division playoffs. And when Vinci left, he t~k ome of USD's top players with him. So Logan wasn't expecting any miracles In 1974, and so far he hasn't received any. His team is 1-5. "It wa~ tough coming in," Logan said. "There were a lot of problems here, both personnel-wise and finan- cially. When Vinci left the rumor was that the university was going to
