The city has made clear its desire to have the structure razed. When a consultant was hired in 1978 to provide a master development plan for the abandoned park, the City Council stipulated that the plan would not include the roller coaster. Environmental Law Clinic applied for, _and received, a $1,000 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation a private non-profit organizat stal5li- shed by Congress - to assist in the renovation and preservation of urban projects. Evans has promised to match the amount of the grant, according to Gene Erbin, of the law clinic. The funds will be used to hire a consultant, who will work with Ciani and Evans.

"To throw it away would be a big mistake on the city's part, because it's unique," he said "The city's attitude has been very negative and unfounded. Their at· titude is very myopic." Although the city's consultants have completed their proposal for the park's use, Ciani insists, "We're not late with this. It's (the city's

She said her office is preparing a status report for the City Council on the matter.

"I think we'll be able to satisfy the city's needs, the residents' needs as well as visitors to Mission Beach," he said. Ciani explained his interest in preserving the aging ride by saying, "I'm not a roller coaster enthusiast. I just think it's a shame to have a defunct roller coaster. It's sort of a metaphor for the beginnings of Mission Beach." He said one of the possible future uses of the roller coaster would be as a "community and visitor serving facility." me u ed beneath the coaster and elsewhere on the grounds of Belmont Park would be shops and public facilities, such as a meeting hall, Ciani said. "We see this as the focal center of Mission Beach," Ciani said. He added that such a plan could allow "for limited use of the roller coaster itself." He said he envisions the ride being activated only a few hours a day, or , possibly only on Sun- days or during special events, such as on holidays. Other options· that may be studied, Ciani said, are restoring the coaster to active use, and determining if it is economically feasible to do so, and refurbishing the structure so that it is "simply a safe, visual monwnent."

The University of San Diego can begin its count- down. ·The Toreros, 1-9 in West Coast Athletic Conference contests and 5-14 for the season, have just five games remaining. But even that's a mixed blessing. USD' upcoming oppo- nents include North Texas State tonight at 7:30 on campus, USF next Satur- day, St. Mary's and Gonra- ga on the roatl, and a sea- son finale at home with Portland. _ Tonight's non-league foe 1s another of those teams that presents all sorts of problems for the Toreros. The Eagles (10-13), or Mean Green as they're

sometimes called, are very strong up front They are led by 6-7 for- wards Billy Don Hardaway and Kenny Lyons, and guards David Vasher, Fur- mia Nealy and Chris Rey- nard. In their 79--67 win over United States International University last Friday, Hardaway scored 22 and collected 20 rebounds, Lyons added 12, and Vasher contributed 15. Nealy, just a freshman. found his big men inside with 12 assists. The Toreros, meanwhile, have had as many prob- lems fielding front line players as they have win- ning ballgames. Tonight's starting lineup consists of Brad Levesque (6-7) and Keith Cunning- ham (6-8). center Bob Bar- tholomew (6-7), and guards Mike Stockalper (6-0) and Earl Pierce (6-3). Rusty Wlntmarsh. a 6-3 junior, comes in at either forward or guard. In Saturday's 100-82 loss to Loyola. Levesque, Bar- tholomew and Cunningham fouled out early in the sec- ond half The Toreros, who frequently go with a three- guard offense, added a new twist - a four-guard offense.

Two turnovers and bask- ets by Mccloskey and Wor- thy, and Loyola was in front 34-33. From that point on, the Toreros were forced to do what they've been doing most of the season - play- ing catch-up. Loyola extended its lead to 50-43 just before halftime

"I put him in just to test him, but he's really in pain," said Brovelli, who is down to 10 players now that forward R~ll Jackson has been declared academically ineligible. One bright spot for USD was the play of Stockalper. The I 6-0 point guard connected on 10-of-15 attempts from the floor and was 6-of-6 from the line enroute to his 26 points. Pierce added 18 and Bartholomew 13 for the Toreros, who are 5-14 overall. Brovelli's depleted squad will now get a short break from conference action but little rest. USD plays host to North 'l;'exas State Monday night on campus, while Loyola Marymount returns to league play next Tuesday against ; Pepperdine.

SAN DIEGO-He has been hiding in relative obscurity all season long at Loyola-Marymount University, but Sat- urday night Robert Worthy came out of seclusion. His statistics won't attract a second look-only 9.9 points a game. But Worthy was clearly the difference as t~e Lions raced past the University of San Diego, 100-82, m front of 400 fans at the Sports Arena. , . . Worthy exploded for 29 points ang gave U~D s f~ont !me fits all night Before it was over, the Toreros startmg front of Bob Bartholomew, Brad Levesque and Keith Cunning- ham had all fouled out trying to stop the 6-7 sophomore forward. And while USD Coach Jim Brovelli would dearly love to have someone as quick as Worthy in his front line, Loyola- Marymount Coach Ron Jacobs is content with keeping Worthy on the bench. "He wants to start, but we've been playing so well, I don't want to break it up," Jacobs said "We knew about him, he's a great player," Brovelli said after watching helplessly as his team. drop~ its 10th West Coast Atheletic Conference game m 11 tries. Loyola is now 5-5 and two games out of the conference lead. "A team like this, we really have a lot of problems with " Brovelli said. "They are much quicker and they're a great shooting team. Their big guys are just too quick un- derneath." The Toreros actually managed to outshoot Loyola-Marymount, hitting on 47~ of th~ir shots from the floor to the Lions 46%. But the Lions eilJOyed a 40-34 re- bounding edge with Worthy leading the way with nine. USD did mmage to partly control high-scoring Jim Mc- Closkey who finished with 17 points but was only 5-of-19 from th~ floor. Guard Dan Davis also had 17, and point guard Jeff Moore and forward Michael Antoine contributed 15each. . . f The Toreros appeared ready to make things difficult or the visitors, jumping to a 23-14 lead behind the sh~ting of Mike Stockalper and Bob Bartholomew. But the Lions out- scored USD 12-2 during one stretch of the half, went up . 40-33 with 4:08 left and finished the half leading, 50-43. Before the Toreros could make a second-half surge, Loyola-Marymount quickly built an 11-point lead and USD never really threatened after that. For USD, it was the same story of getting its precious
