Changing USD campus scene It's s
I- economic foundation of our city and society." More than 4,000 students apphcd for admittance to l.'SD's School of Law this year. The enrollment for the day and evening classes is 900 or 100 over last year. A strong emphasis on com- munity service enhances the law students' education at USD. AGENCIES within the School, with student in- volvement, perform in-depth legal research and con- sulting services fo,· public and social agencies, and. through the Clinical Education Programs. aid in the rendering of legal ser- vices to those who cannot afford to pay for them. Dr. Raymond Brandes, has been appointed director of Graduate and Special Programs. Born in Coronado, he has been with USO since 1966. He has directed archeological field work at Mission San Diego de Alcala, Rancho Los Coches and in Old Town. He has more lhan 75 publications to his credit. The new chaplain at USO is Father .John l\1yhan, OP, whose previous 10 years on the campus as a member of the history department faculty make him an old friend of students . He suc- ceeds Father Benjamin Carrier, who became pastor at Holtville. The creation of the new administrative position of Director of Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics at USD indicates an enlarged program of athlel.lcs and courses related lo recreational leadership. DR. JOHN Cramer received his doctorate from the University of Oregon. In his new role, he v:ill direct all of the athletic programs, recreation and health education as well as assist
I, The interdisc1plmary course "Man in His Environment: Focus on San Diego County" will be taught by professors in the fields of biology, earth sciences, history and political sciences. USD's School of Education has long had an excellent reputation for selecting, educating and graduating qualified students. Father William E. Elliott, Ph.D., is the newly appointed Dean of the School of Education. Before coming to l.'SD , Father Elliott was an Assistant Professor at Marquette University in Wisconsin . WITH THE ARR!\'.-\L of four new faculty members and a very active advisory committee of men from the business community, the School of Business Ad- ministration continues to grow in size and reputation. According to Dean Clement J. Nouri, "It is
t • I the 1.ISD Boosters Club with fund raismg activities. With the growir:g number of students, the need for funds to financialh· assist students has also increased . Mrs. Lora Perry, financial
father of four children . The only addition to the campus buildmgs is the new president's home, Casa de Alcala. This spacious house will serve as the official home for future presidents of USO. WITH THE CH.\XGES, another question is asked frequently. Is the University of San Diego a Catholic University? At a recent meeting for campus ad- ministrators, President Hughes said: ''The University is by the intent of its founders and by the mandate of its c9rporate declaration , a Roman Catholic institution for higher education. Perhaps the most unique charac- teristics of its individuality as one institution within a highly pluralistic system of higher education is that it is both Catholic and in- dependent. "The value posture of the institution is Christian; the interpretation of its Christianity is through the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. It is from this base, the fundamental truths of Christianity, that the pursuit of truth continues at the University of San Diego. "Yet the University is independent; it is in- dependent in the senses of fiscal support and ad- ministrative control." USD WILL HAVE an enrollment this year of approximately 2,800 students. Four hundred freshmen will be on board. Fift:[ i;>er cent are from the San Diego area, 25 per cent from Southern Cahforma and 25 per cent are from out- of-state anCI foreign coun- tries. Twenty four states are represented, most out-of- states coming from Arizona. Thomas Burke has been appointed the new dean of students by President Hughes. Most recently he was executive vice-presi- dent ofCatering Management, Inc., in Missouri where he was responsible for client relations with 50 colleges. The College of Arts and Sciences is now under the leadership of Dean Edward E. Foster. Dr. Foster, whose specialities are Middle English Literature, Restoration and 18th Cen- tury Literature and Linguistics, has published extensively . Dr. Foster comes to USD from Grinnell College, Iowa. where he was chairman of the English Department. THE DEPARTME:\iT of Interdisciplinary Studies at USO will bring many disciplines together around a central theme. This year there are four new area programs, leading to tbe bachelor's degree, as an alternative to the traditional single-disciplinary majors. A new area of study has been coordinated by Dr. Richard Phillips who holds three degrees from Stanford a~ his Ph.D. from UCSD.

Father William Elliott aid officer, attempts daily to meet these needs. However, with the recent cut backs in federal money for financial aid. many USO students are faced with the difficult problem of finding additional funds for this academic year. ACCORDING TO Mrs. Perr)·, "Students are anxious to work to partially pay for their education, but a shortage of part time jobs for students prohibits this source of income." The University of San Diego is a small University as compared with others. But that's one of the many advantages of the Alcala Park campus. The student- faculty ratio is 14 to 1 which gives the student the op- portunity of a close, personal relationship. SMALL IN SIZE, but large in ideas, the University of San Diego continues to study the current trends of higher education as it moves proudly through the 70s.

FOR THOSE who knew USO before l\Iay, 1972, there were two schools on the Hill: the San Diego College for Women owned and operated by the Religious of the Sacred Heart, and the College for Men which included the School of Law owned and operated by the Catholic Diocese of ~an Diego. In 1972, · a merger took place and one corporation was formed which included the previous parts. The total makes up the cew University of San Diego. With that change another one took place. Dr. Author E. Hughes became the first layman president of the university. A Catholic, Dr. Hughes is married and the
By Sara Finn Small. That's one of the first impressions of tbe University of San Diego campus. Beautiful, most people exclaim aloud. The Spanish- styled buildings are set like magnificently carved chess pieces in a garden of open spaces beautifully planted and maintained. THE HILL - a name well- suited to the Alcala Park campus seen from freeways 8 and 5 as a landmark with the blue domes atop the Immaculata. Looking down from the Hill there are vistas of the Pacific Ocean and :'.\lission Bay. It's central and that's good because a campus today doesn't stay in one place - it moves. Yes, the campus. USD stretches out to legal clinics in five neighborhoods, military bases where the enlisted receive their best in higher education from top professors, El Centro where the education department offers weekend courses leading to masters degrees, San Diego Bay where Dr. John S. Bradshaw floats his class aboard his oceano- graphic vessel to study ma- rine life. And environment. USO knows that's the subject of the day so there's a brand new course in environmental studies and a new approach.
