NEWS FROM ALCALA PARK CAMPUS:

Homecoming 1969-70 year: At a meeting of alumnae and alumni association represen- tatives on April 11th it was agreed to celebrate Homecoming with the club football game scheduled for November 1, 1969. The Student Body is sponso~ing a Club Foot- ball team in the coming season. Club football is non-professional, non-scholarship and not financially supported by the College. The games are intercollegiate, but the game on November 1st will be between USD and USO Alumni . Chairmen of the Homecoming committee are Mr. and Mrs. Conrad G. Walker. Taxation proposals threaten charitable giving: Amendments to the Internal Revenue Code now being considered in Washington threaten major tax incentives to giving . Income from these sources, essential to support higher education, coulo dry up or cease althogether . Please watch this legislation and make suitable represen- tations to your congressional representatives, to the President and to the Treasury . During the coming month we will be mailing to leading business and corporation executives in San Diego a copy of the attached "Educator," with a letter reminding them of the important part USO plays in the life of this community. We shall also be askin~ them for donations of scholarships, covering tuition. You can help us by your personal follow up to this appeal, by seeing whether the corporation which employs you is prepared to do its share. It is time more of the larger companies made this kind of recognition of the excellent graduates from the Law School, the College for Men and College for Women who are now their staff members. The coordination of course offerings and the combination of such important functions as Admissions for the two under- graduate colleges are outward signs of progress towards unification. There will be one undergraduate college catalogue this year and virtually every class will be coeducational. The undergraduate Student Bodies, of the College for Women and College for Men, officially merged in March when the first officers were elected for the joint ASB. The installation took place at a campus Mass for Unity celebrated by Bishop Francis J. Furey and faculty priests.
