For they, like the objects in the accompanying display, "Italy by Design," repre- sent art forms that have become almost common- place today. From the unu- pho lstered contoured metal chair, to the sinewy lounge chair, we see pur- posefully designed, posture- conscious pieces. They were created through the application of discoveries of new glues, rubbers, and production techmques such as presses for molding wood to shapes ,suited to the back and bot- tom They are part of a ·spatial, as well as function- al, consideration . Like the pristine and challenging Sol LeWitt ex- hibition in adJoining rooms, the chairs command an at- tention to line and seem to extend beyond their form by relating to floor space and nuance of light.

OCT 17 1979 Gulls, Toreros face toughies By EARL KELLER U.S. Internat10nal University and Ualv r ity of San Diego w1ll be home to tough football oppon nt Saturday mght. "We thought Pomona was btg, but our next rival makes them look small," usn; Coach Tom Walsh said of the Western Illinois Fighting Leathernecks. "They will be the most physical club we have faced so far. They have giants up front." t;SD Coach Bill Williams has warned the Toreros of the speed of the Azusa-Pac1f1c Cougars, who will be here to try to raise their record to 3-2-1 While pleased with the Gulls 24-23 comeback win over unbeaten Cal Lutheran last weekend, he still would like to see hlS charges put togf'ther two strong halves as they seek their fifth win again t two lo ses. 'We didn't look as though we were ready to play in the first half," Walsh said. "The execution wasn't clicking I believe 1t' a matter of the players realizing the intensity thats nece sary. Whal I liked was the fact our pla) ers refused to quit. They were down by 20-0, but they hung in thrre and scored 24 pomts in 17 minutes. \\ e gained only 37 yards in the first half." \\ alsh hmt~d Tum Nager, a tight end and pooter \\ho filled III for the mjured Craig Yoder in snapping the ball for field goals and punts, will keep his Job "because he turned m a p~rf ct performance." The USIU game will be played at San Diego Stadium. Western Illinois will bring a 3-4 record here. The Leath ·rnecks have an outstanding quarterback in Kevin Conolly, a good runner and passer He has scored three times on runs so far and also has passed for more than 1,200 yards. In the team's upset win over Eastern Illinois, Conolly passed six times to tight end Mike Maher. Mark Chandler, who will be at quarterback for Azusa- Pacific against USD, is a left-hander who has completed some 40 pert'ent of his passes for 650 yards. He throws most of the tune to Paul Nath, who has hauled in 26 passes for 436 yards and five scores after •nagging 64 m 1978 for 780 yards and eight TDs. The Cougars have only four seniors on their roster. There are 27 freshmen and sophomores.
