The associated student bodies dedicate the 1969 edition of their ALGALA to Bishop Francis J. Furrey in recognition of his diligent endeavor in behalf of the University. Fie con ­ tinues to provide inspired leadership in the drive toward the realization of the dreams of our University.

INTRODUCTION

A 20th anniversary, or a 200th, is a pause on the bank of the stream of existence. Watching the hur­ tling waters tumble by, the onlooker meditatively returns to the spring that set these forces into play, and imaginatively projects their widening sweep even to the oceans of eternity. At this existential moment, viewed in these pages, the University of San Diego reviews and previews, puts into proper perspective a score of years and warms at the pro­ pitious prospect of more. The present beneficiaries may feel that they are standing on the verge of cre­ ation. This is year 1. But they also need the historic sense and the eschatalogical vision. The city in motion finds its roots in that moment 200 years ago when Father Junipero Serra crossed the last barranca, stood on a mesa overlooking a land "so good and gladsome", and invited all to come to San Diego. The University of like name for this moment looks back before it leaps ahead, trying to recapture the thoughts of his heart as Bishop Buddy toured the majestic "Hill" for the first time with the Religious of the Sacred Heart and a few priests, made the historic decision, committed his diocesans to the sacrificial struggles, braved the disappointments and wrong directions, turned the first shovels of dirt, blessed the cornerstones, dedi­ cated building after building. But neither the city nor the university lolls in the past nor dawdles in the present. The future chal­ lenges to blossoming, to fruition. The melee of change and the melange of unification, the recogni­ tion of new needs, the fixing of new purposes, is the temper of the moment. Under Bishop Furey there is an exciting enthusiasm for what can be as we gratefully recall what has been. The growth, the economic development, the natural benignity of San Diego assure us that it was right to pioneer and it is reasonable to carry forward this "small island of ultimate truth", where the art of thinking derives from the thinking arts and the life of the spirit is directed by the Holy Spirit. As the cross on the tower of the Immaculata rises in a grand benediction over the campus, the University prays for its educators and educands of the past, present and future: "I give thanks to my God for all my memories of you, happy at all times in all the prayers I offer for all of you. And this is my prayer for you: May your love grow richer and richer yet, in the fullness of its knowledge and the depth of its perception, so that you may learn to prize what isof value: may nothing cloud your progress: may you reap through Jesus Christ the full harvest, To God's honor and praise."

Rev. J. Vincent Sullivan

BISHOP JOHN R QUINN

The Most Rev. John R. Quinn, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of San Diego, is the first native California to be a bishop of the Dio­ cese and only the second person to hold this position. At the time of his consecration, he was the youngest Catholic bishop in the nation. Bishop Quinn was appointed by Pope Paul VI on October 21, 1967. He was consecrated in St. Joseph's Cathedral, San Diego, December 12, 1967, by the Most Rev. Luigi Raimondi, Apostolic Delegate to the United States. Bishop Quinn took, for his motto, the opening words of the decrees of the Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium Christus, meaning Light of the Nations. Bishop Furey and the Most Rev. Frederick Freking, Bishop of the Diocese of La Crosse, were the co-consecrators. At the time of his appointment as Auxiliary Bishop, Bishop Quinn was named Vicar General by Bishop Furey, in accordance with the directives for the Second Vatican Council in its decree of the Pastoral Office of Bishops. Bishop Quinn was appointed Provost of the University of San Diego, Alcala Park, this year by Bishop Furey. His previous posts include the presidency of St. Francis College Seminary, to which he was appointed in 1962, and Rector of Immaculate Heart Sem­ inary, which he assumed in 1964. Prior to taking the post of col­ lege president, Bishop Quinn had been professor of dogmatic theology at Immaculate Heart. Bishop Quinn was born in Riverside, March 28, 1929, the son of the late Ralph J. Quinn and Elizabeth Carroll Quinn. Mrs. Quinn now makes her home in La Mesa. The Bishop attended St. Francis De Sales elementary school in Riverside and Sacred Heart Preparatory High School in Watertown, Wisconsin. He studied for the Priesthood at St. Francis Seminary and the Immaculate Heart Seminary, El Cajon, completing his philosophical and theological studies at the North American Col­ lege and Gregorian University in Rome. He was ordained to the Priesthood in Rome on July 19, 1953. His first assignment in the United States was as assistant pastor at St. George's Parish, in Ontario, California, inJuly, 1954.

REV MICHAEL D. ALCAREZ

The Very Reverend Michael D. Alcaraz is serving his first year as Rector of Saint Francis Seminary. Upon graduating from St. Augustine High School of San Diego in 1954, he then entered Saint Francis Seminary. Father Alcaraz received his B.A. Degree in 1960 from the University of San Diego, the first year that a degree was made available to the sem­ inarians. Father did graduate work at San Diego State College and Liturgical Science work at the University of Notre Dame. In 1961 he was ordained and subsequently ap­ pointed Dean of Men at Saint Francis Seminary, a p osition which he held until April of 1968. Father Alcaraz served as a member of the Diocesan Lit­ urgical Committee and Music Commission. He also served as Director of the Seminary Choir from 1959 to 1967. Father Alcaraz has written many articles for the Vista and Southern Cross on many topics concerning the modern Christian. Bishop Furey initiated many changes in the University of San Diego campus hierarchy in 1968, with Father Alcaraz being appointed Vice Rector in April. Considered an experienced member of the seminaries' administration, he was appointed to and accepted his current post of Rector in August of 1968.

SPEECH TEAM: PROVEN WINNERS!!

Tom Ronco took a first in extemporaneous speaking and Dan Webster captured a first in expository. Tom Westfall placed second in impromptu. Our speech team competes infrom eight to sixteen events a year, which make for a long season. They face tough opponents such as USC, UCLA, Berkley, and others. Integration, in the way of participation of the girls, has been light as of late but Coach Lott hopes to see more females competing on the team. He feels if the school is to be united, it must start with the spe­ ech team. USD's forensic team is one of the areas best and next year points to bigger and better things. The ad­ dition of a Speech major at the school will bring more students that are good in speaking in competition.

"Presidential Powers in Foreign Affairs-Should they be Limited," was the national collegiate topic for USD's debate team, as our forensic team began an­ other year under Coach Richard Lott. Brian Thompson, captain of our young but talented team, was chief debater last year but does not have a partner this year. Sophomores Rick Walton and Jim Staunton are the second debate team and have taken home many awards for our team. The novice debaters have only competed once and did not fair too well, as they are inexperienced at this time. Individual events, which include persuasive, extem­ poraneous, impromptu, and expository, seems to be the team's strongest area. While in a tournament at Pepperdine, Steve Maddox, Paul Sammon, and Joe Dovanon took a first, second, and fourth respectively.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

into the Cultural History of Mission de San Diego. Dr. Brandes is currently doing archaeological work at the mission to obtain more information about its back­ ground. Another USD professor, Dr. Iris H. Wilson, delivered her doctorate paper on the "Administrative Genius of Jose de Galvez." She studied and obtained her doctorate at the University of Southern California. Besides the speakers involved in the convention, the National Archives provided copies and displayed many important documents pertinent to American History. There was also a gun collection and books put on exhibit. The La Jolla Historical Society also provided exhibits to numerous to mention. Highlight of the convention was an address by His Excellency Bishop Francis J. Furey of the Diocese of San Diego at Sea World's Atlantis Restaurant. His address was one of commencement of the whole con­ vention.

The University of San Diego opened its first history convention with a paper delivered by Robert Becker, director of the University of California at Berkley's Bancroft Library. "Early California Archives" was the subject of this talk and it set the tone of the three- day affair. This convention was being held in con­ junction with the 200th anniversary of San Diego and the 20th anniversary of the University. Prominent people from historical circles, such as keynote speaker Dr. James B. Rhoads, the Archivist of the United States National Archives located in Washington, D.C., were asked here to deliver papers to the convention audiences. Bert Fireman, executive vice-president of the Ari­ zona Historical Foundation, Arizona State University. He spoke about "Spanish and Mexican Period Re­ source Materials in Arizona."

BOSS WEEKEND

"Faith is always a s earch, never an arrival." These words best describe B.O.S.S. weekend. Big Old Sharing Session was a new innova­ tion on the USD campus. A few interested students asked Fr. Ben Carrier how to start such a project. They were referred to Fr. Neal Dolan and BOSS was born. Fr. Larry Dolan and Fr. John Malley joined the cause, along with a group of ten students, Sr. Helen Lorch and Sr. Dolores. The student-initiated B.O.S.S. weekend strove to achieve a closer rapport on cam­ pus. The weekend was run on a loosely or­ ganized schedule with various activities aimed at developing an awareness of self and one's relationship with others. Communica­ tion, love, peace are words for application. The purpose of the weekend was to demon­ strate the "livability" of these ideals. When students return on Sunday after­ noons, changes can be noticed in them. Re­ turning B.O.S.S. weekenders remembered that "Happiness was born a twin-in order to have it, you must share it."

BIOLOGY

The dynamic Biology Department has breezed on into vast new areas of discovery since the generous donation of a large research vessel by Dr. John A. Bradshaw. This graceful sloop is quite capable of such extended voy­ ages of ocean exploration that the research team has even proposed an ambitious expedi­ tion to Hawaii to seize new information from the ocean depths, mankind's last frontier. Since the boat's introduction last summer, the department's plunge into oceanography has become a tangible reality. The marine microbiology class has become extremely pop­ ular among the experienced majors with a sense of thrill in the unknown. This experi­ ence certainly will further their interest in this exciting field. They also realize the immense value of this practical training in their advance to their future careers in service to man.

94

In addition to heightening the enthusiastic morale of our Biology Department, this far- reaching project has positively affected their recruiting program. Obviously, the opportun­ ity of the oceanography classes also enhances the reputation of the entire University in re­ spect to attracting promising students and fac­ ulty. The department's steadily increasing numbers also indicate a rapid advance to an exciting graduate program, keyed to the varied possibilities of the ship. Surely, the entire University should express its gratitude to the vision of Dr. Bradshaw, and Dr. Curt W. Spanis, who in addition to countless other volunteer projects for the school, has spent incalculable hours in the program's plan­ ning and implementation. Of course, the project could never have advanced so far with­ out the close cooperation of Dr. Ross E. Ding- man, chairman of the department and the opti­ mistic backing of the entire Biology faculty.

An election was called for to now put helmsmen on the new but doomed ship MERGER and low and behold a one-sided slate of hasbeens and political hacks ap­ peared on a ballot that old Joe Stalin could not have dreamed possible. Emperor Norman and jolly court jestures Brian Riley and Dickie Davis and general flunkie-about-campus Ray Sherman decided to re­ tain there positions as "BMOC" and easily won re­ election. The College for Women had most of their hierarchy's deadweight dumped but the secretary stayed and a newcomer from the malcontent "weed- ers" took over one of the double-councils seats (Ci­ cero forgive me). So now Joe and Sally USD sleep better because they are secure in the knowledge the ASB now has one set of rulers and the efficiency will be unbelieveable; but then again the whole going-on was unbelieveable and will continue to be just as petty and screwed-up as in it's former days of seperation. True merging can­ not simply be voted upon it must come from 100% of the students giving 100% of their effort to making it happen. How Eric and Terry could have the fore­ sight to want one set of officers to work with two dif­ ferent advisors representing different interests, one of which for a certain period refused to grant there even was such a merger!! No my friends, the merger will eventually be something workable but the many other things that the ASB's could have been doing instead of the planning and petty bickering surround­ ing the merger could have and should have been chan­ neled to make the year more enjoyable for you, the student.

MEET THE MAKERS

ADVISOR Fr. Sullivan

This is the staff that put out the effort to present you, the student, with this year's edition of the ALCA- LA. My First "thanks goes out to Father J. Vincent Sul­ livan who as advisor and parttime confessor proved an inspiration to those of us who were promed to fits of depression. His wisdom and knowledge of the school and the people surrounding it were often need­ ed necessities. Jan Adamczyk came from nowhere in the mist of a staff 'revolt' and took the reins of Activities Editor and turned in the outstanding section you are just finishing. Rich Davis accomplished the 'impossible' for this yearbook and many to come. Through constant work he was able to find and secure the office from which we now operate. He and the ASB officers were a very concerned if not always co-operative group. Richard also helped in ways too numerous to mention here but without which the book could not have survived. Charles Vivano came forward also unexpectedly and filled the almost impossible task of starting the ad's part six months later than last year and still equaling their total earnings. The 'unsung' hero of this book would have to be Tom Ricther who was with the editor every step of the way and handled enough work to be rightfully cal­ led "Consultant" for he is now an expert on the many facets of the business. He was always there no mat­ ter what the problem and always showed great re­ sourcefulness in doing so. His value as friend, ad­ visor and general handy-man is again unestimable. When during the Christmas break I found myself with an idea about how the division pages should look,

I personally lacked any artistic way to reproduce the mind images on paper. So I turned to my sibling, Jim Ronco with whose help the idea's progressed until he formed the design in this book. When no sports editor could be found, I turned to my ex-roommate who had excellent credentials and a desire to work. Oscar Rodriguez has been the one who has been responsible for the sports section. An award-winning journalist he turned his talents toyear­ book and the results are outstanding. Someone always has to do the small things and un­ less they're done, no major endeavor is completed. Mike Renner was always available and most willing to do anything to help the book. Pat Conova worked from the first weeks of the year and in the last deadline days still had the same good attitude and willingness to do the job and have it done right. Rocky Bayiess returned to USD after a little va­ cation, was put immediately to work and added the professional touch to the darkroom that all great yearbooks have. Pat Monte was put in a position she knew little about and soon mastered the technique and was the PR man for the book. Two photographers not pictured but who played very important roles in the making of the book were Mike Chambers and Harvy M. Good, Jr. Mike, when available, did much work and covered the needed activities when the 'regulars' couldn't. Harvy got up out of a "Hong Kong" flu bed to work 12 hours in order to help complete the book. His yearbook background rendered him extremely capable of covering Home­ coming and his advise to staffers also was extremely successful. So to these people who gave so much and received nothing in return except the feeling of a job well- done I voice my thanks on behalf of the students and as their editor. I would also like to add that the year was an extremely difficult one because other than these people there was little or no co-operation and so these people were forced to work inspite of, and not for the students and the editor. Personally I can only say that I've always acted in what I felt the best interest of the students and I feel that I can point to this book with pride and say with satisfaction it is the best book USD has ever had, and may ever have.

Sophomore forward Rick Sabosky, presses hard with his tenacious defense against Cal Poly foe.

Coach Phil Woolpert was optimistic about what to expect from a young talented club which had only one senior on the starting line-up. The Toreros started on the wrong foot; losing the first three games and winning only two of the first eight. Establishing this mark, the Cal Western Tourna­ ment had come along, and the Toreros were faced with the problem of having to defend the champion­ ship. Surprising audiences and playing like true de­ fending champions, the Toreros swept the Cal West­ ern tournament with wins over Pomona College, 75- 51; Cal Western, 57-49; and in the final round, U.C. of San Diego, 80-62. By successfully defending their crown, USD es­ tablished a record as being the only team to ever win three Cal Western tournament titles. The Tor­ eros won in 1964and 1967. Gus Magee, USD's strong center, was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player, while Jeff Fil- zenger, a junior forward, was placed on the all-tour­ ney team. From the very beginning of the season, except for the Cal Western tournament, odds just didn't seem to be on the Toreros side. The absence of guard, Neal Schram, the speedster from the San Francisco area, was now being felt. Schram, who had torn ligaments in his ankle, finally returned to the line-up after an eight week recovery. Flowever, get­ ting back in shape was proving to be too late, for the season was now coming down the stretch.

Jeff Filzenger, leadi ng scorer for USD shoots a 20 foter.

Sophomore forward Benton White, shows he can shoot from the outside.

Neal Schram,#14, scores another two as Gus Magee #25 and Jim Wilke #34 move infor positions.

Besides the lack of experience, USD seemed to face one rough team after another. Teams like Fres­ no State were no exception. Fresno State was the team who upset previously undefeated Santa Bar­ bara. USD lost to Fresno 91-64. Jeff Filzenger was high point man for both teams with 22 points. Fouls and inconsistent play were the major fac­ tors for Toreros performances. Against Cal Poly, Pomona (Jan. 18), the visiting Toreros scored five more field goals than the Bron­ cos, and even out rebounded them 62 to 40 and still lost the game 64-60. USD collected twice as many fouls as Cal Poly (29-14). The only teamUSD semed to beat was Cal Western. The Toreros took three games from the Westerners. After the tournament, the Toreros downed Cal West­ ern, 51-48 and 59-55. After a 22 game stretch, Jeff Filzenger and Gus Magee led scoring averages with 13.2 and 13.1, re­ spectively. In the rebounding department, Jim Wilke (148) followed Magee who led with 308. In the San Diego International Sports Arena in a preliminary to the San Diego Rockets-San Francisco Warriors NBA game, the Toreros jelled "as team and pulled a 72-65 upset over San Diego State. The Toreros hit 50 per cent from the field and 72 per cent from the charity line. The defeat of San Diego State proved to be the answer of the Toreros to Coach Woolpert and to USD in looking forward to a bright future.

In a large majority of the games, the Toreros led in field goal and rebounding percentages; how– ever, fouls played a major role in the final results of each game.

Coach Cunningham stated before the season, "This is going to be an interesting year." This was indeed an interesting year. Even though the final 10-15 record did not look as impressive as the 18-8 record from the previous season, the Toreritos lost seven games by only four points or less. The Toreritos got off to a bad start start in winning only one of the first six games, and going on to win only four of the first 16 outings. Even though the team lacked height, it proved to have plenty of shooting power. As a whole, the team shot 40 per cent from the field and 68 per cent from the free throw line. The team had plenty of talent which never quite molded until they reached the stretch of the sea­ son. Each player had their own night, but never on the same night. Steve Bajo scored 29 points against the Naval Air Station to hold the season record of points scored in one game. The Toreritos also ran into foul trouble. Against Westmont, USD out shot Westmont from the field and even out rebounded them. Mel Arnerich, mean­ while, was having his season high as he scored 27 points. Even with all this USD still lost the game 79- 77. The game had been decided from the line in which Westmont had 33 attempts to USD's 18.

Freshman Steve Clifford #5 and Larry Wiggins #23, team up to pressure a Pepperdine foe.

Center Tim Groff and forward Steve Clifford #5 combine for a post play.

Larry Wiggins, second team Catholic All-American from Los Angeles, turned out to be the most con­ sistent shooter. Wiggins led the team in scoring with a 15.5 average, and shot 74 per cent from the line. Sophomore Tim Groff led the squad in the re­ bounding department with a 9.5 average. Skip Laurie followed with a 7.4 average. Groff held the record for most rebounds in one game with 16 against the Naval Air Station. Sharing the position at center with Groff, Joe Fo- gel, turned in one of his top performances against Cal Poly, Pomona. Fogel led the team with 20 points as he shot over 70 per cent from the field. Fogel also tied John Howard in having the best free throw per­ centage for the season with 76 per cent. With only six games remaining, the Toreritos split at three wins and losses. One of the wins being an important one as they defeated San Diego State, 75-58, for the third place play-off in the San Diego City Junior Varsity-Frosh Basketball tournament. John Howard led the scoring attack with 20 points. In the first game, USD dropped an 86-72 decision to Cal Western who went on to win the title. Wiggins led the scoring with 20 points while Boone and Bajo helped out with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Even though the Toreritos did not have a winning season, players were able to prove themselves not only as individuals but asunits in a team.

USD'S ALL-AMERICA

CHARLIE BRUMFIELD

years ago, at fourteen. Muehleisen coached and dev­ eloped Brumfield's ambitions in paddleball. Brum­ field competing in local city and county and inter- club tournaments, now marks his second year in na­ tional competition. Playing paddleball is not as easy as Brumfield makes it look. "I have to practice a minimum of two hours a day to keep up general conditioning." states Brumfield. Brumfield's dream of the future for this year is to win four national titles. With two already "in the bag," Brumfield plans to compete in St. Louis this summer in the National Paddleracquet tournament. Paddleracquet is a similar sport to paddleball with the exception of the equipment. Brumfield, who returned to USD after one semes­ ter at San Diego State, is the only person in the history of USD to be number one nationally. In truth, Brum­ field is USD's All-American.

Am ass of students walk around the school campus each day. Each has his own talent. Some are law­ yers, some are seminariens, some are athletes, and some are just students. Among the athletes walks a national champion—Charlie Brumfield. Brumfield is the 1969 National Paddleball Champion and co-holder of the National Paddleball Doubles crown. A y ear ago, Brumfield, who is sponsored by the San Carlos Swim and Racquet Club of San Diego, attended for the first time, the national championships which are held in Ames, Iowa. Brumfield made it to the finals but lost to Dr. Bud Muehleisen, his coach. However, Brumfield and Muehleisen teamed up and won the doubles championship. This year, Brumfield returned and avenged his lose as once again he met Muehleisen in the finals. Both teamed up once again and won the doubles champ­ ionship to successfully defend their title. Brumfield, a junior, started playing paddleball six
