Dr. Author E. Hughes has been president of the Univer- sity of San Diego for five years now, so the president's Club Council and the Com- mittee of Presidents at the university had a fiesta to celebrate his anniversary. "Fiesta de Alcala," they called it, and it turned out to be a big party (more than 300 guests) that felt like small party After a concelebrated Mass in the Immaculata, Dr Hughes' well-wishers mo, ed into the colonnade and onto the lawn between the church and DeSales Hall for cock- tails and dinner and danc- ing. (The Lawyers' Band and Dick Braun's sextet played.) There were speeches and songs and presents, and a Carriage Trade buffet of Spanish splendor. (The pael- la got raves.) A first-rate fiesta. High marks for all who had a hand in it.
